Liu Jin glanced at the direction of the inner palace and replied: "Send it over. Liang Lin is grateful and can't help but promise that it will live up to His Highness's expectations."
Zhu Biao nodded casually. There were many official posts in the court and someone had to take them. In fact, as long as he was not above the third rank, there were no big requirements. It didn't matter whether he was more capable or less capable. This Liang Lin was also considered smart. , I hope it can develop in the future.
At this time, the pretentious screams in the room were also lower in tone. After all, after howling for so long, Zhu Xiang's voice was probably a little hoarse.
Zhu Biao then got up and walked towards the inner hall. When he got inside, he saw the figure of His Royal Highness King Jin with his butt raised high. Fortunately, there were bed curtains to block it, otherwise Zhu Biao would have turned around and left.
"Brother, why did you come to see me..."
After Zhu Biao stood still in the middle of the inner hall, a eunuch moved a chair, sat down, and then said: "What's so good about flesh wounds? I just need to teach you a lesson. I let you go out of the palace to practice archery and horse training. It's a good thing that you've ended up in such a bad state, why are you tired of living after only a dozen years?"
Zhu Xi couldn't help shouting when his body moved, and he stuck his head out of the bed curtains and complained aggrievedly: "I just couldn't help playing for a few more days. Others are like this. As for..."
Zhu Biao immediately frowned and shouted coldly: "Shut up! It's only natural for my father to teach you a lesson. If you dare to complain again, be careful I drag you out and give you a beating!"
Zhu Xiang, who was pretending to be just a little aggrieved at first, immediately turned red in the eyes, and then retracted his head. It could be seen that the injured area trembled in pain due to the large movement, but this time he was stubborn and did not cry out.
Zhu Biao also pinched his eyebrows helplessly. Zhu Xi was also sixteen or seventeen years old, which counted as adolescence. Although children in this era were relatively precocious, after all, he had been bound by the rules of the palace for a long time and suddenly left the palace. It is inevitable to let yourself go a little bit.
"You haven't even figured out why your father taught you a lesson. Do you really think he is angry with you for being a womanizer? How many men in this world are not lustful? What's more, as a prince, your job is to spread branches and leaves for the royal family. Your responsibility.”
Seeing that the people inside didn't reply, Zhu Biao's eyes turned cold: "Second brother, how can you sit on one side in the future if you don't have any self-control? If you really just want to have fun your whole life, then big brother will help you, let alone those few Qing Guoren, I can give you ten, hundreds, thousands of big brothers, you can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, Zhu Biao got up and was about to leave. His requirements for Zhu Ping have never been high, it can even be said to be very low, but Zhu Ping's performance today really disappointed him. It's okay to be clever, but if you treat him as a normal person, No, then just be a pig.
Zhu Biao was also a little confused. A few years ago, Zhu Ping had some energy. He was very good at archery, horseback riding, and archery. He was so noisy about guarding the frontier. Why did he suddenly become so decadent?
Everyone in the room was trembling with fear. They didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had a good face when he came in, suddenly became angry. As Zhu Biao was about to step out of the inner hall, Zhu Xi's personal eunuch ran over and knelt in front of him to kowtow.
"Prince, please calm down. My Highness is just aggrieved for a moment. He has always respected you the most. Your Highness will definitely regret it later if I leave like this. For the sake of our long-standing brotherhood, please say a few more words. I beg you, slave.”
Upon seeing this, Liu Jin also advised: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is young, please forgive me..."
Zhu Biao also felt what his father felt just now. He was holding a breath in his heart and was so angry when others tried to persuade him. He really wanted to turn around and sprinkle some salt on Zhu Xi's ass.
At this time, there was movement and the exclamations of a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Zhu Biao heard the movement without turning around, a dull sound and a gasp.
Zhu Ping's voice came with a bit of trembling: "Brother, I know I was wrong."
"Everyone get out!"
The moment Zhu Biao's voice came out, everyone bowed and quickly retreated. Only the two brothers were left in the inner hall. Zhu Biao did not turn around to see his joke, nor did he help him in a pretentious manner, but just carried him on his back. She asked him in a deep voice: "Where did you go wrong?" "
Zhu Xiang felt that his butt was very painful and wet. He didn't know whether the ointment melted or the wound burst and blood flowed out. The pain and grievances were mixed in his heart, and he just felt very pitiful.
"I shouldn't have indulged in pleasure and neglected my martial arts regardless of my body. I shouldn't have let down my father and elder brother's hard work by hanging out with a bunch of dandies. I shouldn't have been implicated in my repentance..."
I started to choke after saying that. After all, I was just a teenager. I was suddenly beaten up by my father. Before the injury healed, I was lectured by my elder brother. Naturally, I felt all kinds of grievances and helplessness in my heart.
"Second brother, after me, you are the eldest among the brothers. You should set an example for the younger brothers. But do you think you act like an elder brother?"
"Don't talk about the third and fourth, even the fifth and sixth are stronger than you now. You have to achieve something in your life. Do you really want to live your whole life without becoming a martial artist, and finally die on a woman's belly?"
"Okay, second brother, you are the king of Jin, your father is the emperor, and your brother is the prince. There is no reason to say that you should enjoy this honor when you are born. Who can have an incompetent person? If you really If you think so, then eldest brother and father will help you."
Zhu Xi wiped the tears and snot from his face and cried, "No, don't..."
Zhu Biao didn't say anything and went straight out of Zhu Xi's palace. A group of palace ladies and eunuchs were kneeling neatly outside Zhu Xi's palace. They all buried their heads deeply when they saw His Highness the Crown Prince coming out.
Zhu Biao looked at them and sighed. The difference in fate between people is so big. These slaves are all about the same age as Zhu Chong, but one of them can still be willful, but the other group is precarious and their fate depends on others. hand.
"Everyone, get up and take good care of King Jin, and then ask Dr. Zhang to come over and give medicine."
"promise"
After Zhu Biao finished his instructions, he walked towards the East Palace. Liu Jin and others quickly followed. The atmosphere along the way was quite dull. As soon as he passed through the Huagai Hall and was about to return to the East Palace, Zhu Biao suddenly stopped and turned around and walked towards Wuying Hall.
Liu Jin and others did not dare to ask any more questions, so they could only follow silently. After a while, they arrived behind Wuying Hall. Chu King Zhu Di and Qi King Zhu Di were still working hard. When they saw their eldest brother coming, they pouted and silently pointed the back of their heads at him. , I thought he was here to watch a joke just like at noon.
After Zhu Biao walked in, he asked the household official who came to salute to excuse himself. Then he took off his heavy outer robe, walked to the ravine-lined field, picked up a hoe, put two mouthfuls into the palm of his hand, and started digging with the hoe.
Zhu Xi and Zhu Di looked at their eldest brother in surprise, but they could see that he was not in a good mood, so they followed suit without asking any more questions.
After more than an hour, today's work is almost done. Lao Zhu didn't come today, probably there is another emergency to deal with, but Zhu Biao is not worried, the world is too big, and it is normal for news to be seriously delayed.
Once the documents are sent out, it may take more than a month to arrive. When the urgent report is sent, it may have happened ten days and a half ago. In this case, political decision-makers need to have a calm demeanor because of the urgency. Doesn't solve any problems.
As long as the central government maintains stability, local affairs can be solved in an overall manner. This is why centralization is necessary. Since the fastest response cannot be guaranteed, the maximum power must be ensured.
After an hour of hard work, Zhu Biao's slightly recovered wrists became swollen and soft again. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, nothing to be alarmed about, and even though all the strength in his body was exhausted, he also had a different kind of feeling of comfort and relaxation.
After saying hello to his two younger brothers, Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace. After bathing and changing clothes, he had a dinner with his princess, and after a little exercise, they rested together.
Lying on the soft bed, Zhu Biao lay sideways and stretched out a hand to gently place on the Crown Princess's swollen belly. I don't know whether it was because of the meal just now, but the two little guys inside were also constantly moving. .
Although the feeling is not very clear, I can roughly guess whether it is a small fist or a small foot. It is really amazing. Zhu Biao has never been a woman in his two lives, so he really doesn't know what it is like to have two little lives in his belly.
"Your Highness seems to be in a bad mood today. Is it because of the government affairs in the court? Or is it because of my uncle's affairs?"
Zhu Biao said softly: "No, it's just that I'm in an inexplicable bad mood. I'm a little worried about how to educate our children in the future. As for Lan Yu, you don't have to worry, I'll take care of everything."
Chang Luohua also stretched out his hand to cover her husband's hand: "Your Highness is responsible for everything. This concubine is really lucky."
Zhu Biao moved his gaze from her belly to her bright eyes and smiled: "Yes, how could you be so lucky?"
The couple looked at each other and smiled, then moved closer and closed their eyes and fell asleep. The long starlight of the long night was swept away by a red sun. Zhu Biao and his wife got up and washed separately. Then they had breakfast together in the main hall, and Zhu Biao accompanied her for a walk. After walking around, I didn’t go out to the East Palace to be busy or go to the Wenhua Hall to read as usual.
But it was a rare occasion to accompany Chang Luohua to play chess and paint. The two of them were proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, so they could play together. When it was almost noon, they went fishing to the south of Wenhua Hall. There are many rivers in Jinling. The new city was built by filling in Yanque Lake, which naturally has many water flows running through it.
After a leisurely and comfortable morning, he asked the Crown Princess to take a nap after lunch. The smile on Zhu Biao's face gradually disappeared. He found that his mood was indeed easy to change recently. He became happy and depressed quickly. This is a boy. Will there also be a period of menstrual lows?
Zhu Biao shook his head and asked Liu Jin, "How was your morning today? Is it such a big deal?"
Liu Jin replied: "We have been quarreling about Lan Yu for a while first. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment wrote a petition to punish Lan Yu to protect the court's order, while Yan Donglai, the minister of Dali Temple, wanted to punish the world to despise the world, but Qi is not Qi, and there is morality. The other officials have expressed their opinions, but they are still deadlocked and have left the matter for the time being."
