As elders, it was not convenient for Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying to host Lu's funeral.
Zhu Biao didn't show up, and Zhu Yunwen was too young, so things became a little embarrassing for a while.
But the appearance of Zhu Xiongying made the funeral grand.
Officials from the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites spontaneously started working around him.
To say how capable Zhu Xiongying is is to exaggerate, after all, his age is there.
The real work is done by the officials below. He only needs to follow the instructions.
But his calm, calm and unhurried demeanor was admired by everyone.
In the past, I had only heard that my grandson was smart, and Zhu Yuanzhang praised him the most.
But everyone has never really seen it, so it is inevitable that they will have doubts in their hearts. Is it because Wang Po is selling her melons and boasting?
Now this worry has completely disappeared. His grandson is not only smart, he is simply outstanding.
Chen Jingke gradually discovered this and was speechless.
This funeral almost became Zhu Xiongying's personal show.
I don’t know what Lu Shiquan Xia Youzhi would think.
When the coffin was being sealed, Zhu Biao finally appeared. Looking at Lu's somewhat ferocious stiff face, his eyes were very complicated.
Afterwards, as her husband, he presided over the rest of the funeral process.
After witnessing all this with his own eyes, Chen Jingke was very happy.
After all, Zhu Biao was not a hard-hearted person, and in the end he still thought of the friendship between husband and wife when he sent Lu's last journey.
This is good news for the ministers.
Especially for Chen Jingke himself, this is great news.
This means that his two talismans will be more effective.
Lu was just a princess, so her death was not a national mourning, so the funeral was more solemn in those days.
Once the funeral was over, everyone soon stopped paying attention to the matter.
The common people continued to live their lives, and the scholars began to prepare for the upcoming imperial examination.
The officials worked cautiously and prayed that they would not be implicated in Zhao Mao's case.
Chen Jingke's life has returned to normal, but there are also changes.
There are four more prostitutes around Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Xiongying's two biological sisters.
Zhu Yunwen didn't mention that the three brothers and sisters of Zhu Yunxi were previously taken care of by the Lu family in name.
Now that she is dead, all the maids and eunuchs around her are buried with her, and they have no one to take care of them.
Unless he finds another princess, it seems that Zhu Biao has no intention of doing so at the moment.
Let other concubines take care of her, but she is afraid of something happening.
Coupled with the responsibility shown by Zhu Xiongying, I felt that it might be better to let his brother take care of him.
It can also cultivate the relationship between brothers and sisters.
However, it is not appropriate to bring them to Qianqing Palace to live together. After all, this is Lao Zhu's palace, so there are many inconveniences.
I don’t know how Lao Zhu and his family discussed it, but finally decided that they would go to the main hall together during the day so that Zhu Xiongying could be taken care of nearby.
In the evening, he was sent back to the East Palace to be taken care of by Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao himself was affected by this incident, and the cabinet did share a lot of his work, so he decided to spend more time with his children.
But after all, he was busy with government affairs. After class in the main hall, these four children would follow Zhu Xiongying to play in the side hall of Qianqing Palace.
After Zhu Biao finished his work, he took them back to the East Palace.
So the side hall where they lived became lively.
Children like to get together, and Zhu Yuanzhang's young children also joined in.
Every day after class in the main hall, at least seven or eight children gather here.
Chen Jingke had no choice but to become the principal of the kindergarten. He had to take time to watch them and prevent anything from happening.
But fortunately, Xiang King Zhu Bai often comes to play and can help take care of it.
But on the other hand, this is also a good thing for Chen Jingke.
You can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the future princes and princesses of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no need to worry about being impeached for befriending the feudal king in private.
For Zhu Xiongying, it's even better, these are his future helpers.
So Chen Jingke thought about it for a while, sorted out the ancient myths and stories, and told them whatever he had to say.
For example, the Legend of Nezha or something.
Naturally, he quickly gained recognition from a group of brats and blended in smoothly.
Chen Jingke not only played with them, but also got to know the character of these children to a certain extent.
It's just that most of these children are still young and can't see much.
There were a few older ones, two of whom he thought were very good.
One is the eleventh son of the emperor, King Zhu Chun of Shu, who likes literature and is quite talented.
One is the twelfth son of the emperor, King Zhu Bai of Xiang, a man with both civil and military talents.
Chen Jingke asked privately that Zhu Bai was very interested in the military, but had not received professional education.
It is probably because he is still young, and because he is relatively low in the rankings, Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet had time to train him.
This gave Chen Jingke the opportunity to take the time to tell him the contents of "General Martial Arts".
Over time, the relationship between the two became closer.
In addition to many princes, there are several children of Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yunwen was actually quite good in all aspects, and he could not see the character of the later Emperor Jianwen at all.
It can only be said that education changes a person.
But with Lu's matter, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao will not take any risks.
He is destined not to be reused in this life, and will basically be a Taiping feudal king in the future.
Chen Jingke also always kept a distance from him and did not dare to get too close.
Zhu Yunxi is four years old this year and is very introverted, even timid.
If you think about it, you will know why.
His mother died in childbirth, his father was too busy with government affairs to take care of him, and his stepmother Lu didn't give him much love.
Grandparents only have eyes for his brother Zhu Xiongying and hardly pay him much attention.
The one who treated him best since childhood was his nanny.
It’s not surprising at all to develop such a character.
All I can say is that this is a poor child.
Fortunately, his life in this life is destined to be different from his previous life.
Not to mention the distance, within a few days of playing here, my personality became much more lively and cheerful, and my eyes became brighter.
It won't take long for him to regain his true nature.
Zhu Xiongying's two biological sisters are also Zhu Biao's two eldest daughters.
The eldest is six years old and his name is Zhu Shiyu.
The younger one is five years old and her name is Zhu Shiyun.
The two little girls were fine, but they were too polite and seemed a bit pedantic.
Speaking of which, I really don't blame Mrs. Lu. Even if she wanted to fight for the throne for her son, she wouldn't cause trouble for the two little girls.
Even in order to show his kindness to the children of the former crown princess, he would deliberately treat them particularly well.
The reason why this is the case still lies with Zhu Yuanzhang.
The system of princesses and consorts he established is simply impossible.
Let's put it this way, he has committed nine lifetimes of sins and will be the consort of the Ming Dynasty in this life.
In any other dynasty, Chen Jingke might have thought of acquiring the status of consort as a talisman.
Even the consort of the Song Dynasty was only not allowed to serve as an official, and the couple could still live a normal life.
Only the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty was simply out of the question, so he had no plans in this regard at all.
Time passed by unconsciously, and August entered in the blink of an eye.
The strings in Chen Jingke's heart also tightened, because Queen Ma died of illness this month in her previous life.
