"Don't you already know everything? My eldest brother didn't tell you. Dad asked me to keep this matter a secret."
"Could it be that...you want to find me and ask about the future?" Zhu Su suddenly became wary and looked at Zhu Di beside him.
"Future? Why do I ask that?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Di looked confused. "My future has been decided a long time ago."
"In a few years, I will become a vassal in Peiping. I will help my father and eldest brother watch over the northern grasslands. If Meng Yuan can hold on for a few more years, when I grow up, I may be able to fight in a few battles and enjoy the feeling of galloping on the battlefield. "
"If Meng Yuan doesn't last, I will just stay in the Prince's Palace of Peking, eat and wait for the rest of my life."
"Ah, by the way, tell me, will I be able to fight in a war in my life?" Suddenly remembering that he could still ask this question, Zhu Di turned around hastily and asked Zhu Su expectantly.
"Oh, haha, if you can catch it, you can fight for it." Zhu Su responded awkwardly. Also, Zhu Laosi is only this year, and there is no such thing as Zhu Yunwen's stupid nephew, how can he covet the big position now.
He is just a vassal king, and Lao Zhu has already made all arrangements for the vassal king's future.
As long as no big changes occur, the trajectory of life will be clear at a glance.
There's really nothing worth asking.
Zhu Su once again lamented in his heart that things are impermanent. Who would have thought at this moment that Lao Zhu, who valued family ties the most, had tried so hard to arrange all his sons properly, but in the end, not many of them had a good ending.
The foolish old man in front of him will rise up to seize the throne in desperation, with the blood of his loved ones on his hands.
"As long as there's a fight, it's fine."
"There is hope... Uh, why are you looking at me like this?" Seeing Zhu Su's eyes unclear, Zhu Di asked with some confusion.
"Nothing... If you didn't come here to ask about the future, then why would you come to me?" Zhu Su changed the topic.
"Aren't I here to see you off...you will leave the palace tomorrow. Hehe, by the way, I came to ask you, what is the plot behind "Three Kingdoms"?"
Zhu Su was a little touched in the first half of the sentence, but in the second half he just rolled his eyes.
The eldest brother must have told him what he knew about the rest of "Three Kingdoms", so this guy came over in the middle of the night to "urge for updates." Zhu Su lay down directly on the bed: "You want me to read a book to you this late at night, are you going to let me sleep?"
"Each chapter of "Three Kingdoms" has tens of thousands of words. You can wait until Luo Guanzhong finishes writing before reading it."
"That person named Luo has stopped writing for two years!" Zhu Di said unwillingly. "When I go to Peking and become a vassal, he may not be able to finish writing! Good old fifth brother, you are out of the sea of misery, so I will just take pity on your fourth brother..."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di became obsessed with the Three Kingdoms. Zhu Su said helplessly: "That won't work, I won't be able to finish telling it until dawn! I've told sister Lin'an all the stories. You go and listen to her..."
The two were entangled when they suddenly heard another rustling sound outside the window. Zhu Su and Zhu Di quickly fell silent and looked at each other. Zhu Su picked up the candlestick, Zhu Di took the chair, and the two brothers carefully leaned toward the window.
There were two more "猹" outside the window. After seeing their faces clearly in the moonlight, Zhu Di put down his chair boredly. "Second brother, third brother, why is it you?"
"Fourth, are you here too?" Zhu Ming propped himself up on the window sill and jumped in. Zhu Fan wanted to be more reserved. He jumped a few times but didn't jump up. Zhu Di and Zhu Xi each held an arm and pulled him in.
"Hey, isn't it that the fifth child is leaving the palace tomorrow? The third child and I discussed sending him off." Zhu Xi took out a food box from his arms and opened it. There were a lot of snacks and cakes in it. .
"Shh, don't make a sound!" Zhu Fan covered Zhu Di's mouth, who wanted to marvel. "The rules in the palace are strict. If the outside world finds out, they will definitely call someone to take us back!"
The brothers quietly sat down at the table in Zhu Su's room. Zhu Di stuffed the food into his mouth and waved to Zhu Su, who was still standing there.
"Lao Wu, don't be stunned! Come quickly, or you won't be eaten up by Lao San!"
"Don't slander me! You obviously have the most in your hands! Come on, Fifth Brother, don't let Fourth Brother eat them all."
For fear of being discovered, several people deliberately lowered their voices. Zhu Su's room fell into silent bustle. Looking at these three carefree young men, who were only in their teens, a gleam of warmth flashed in their eyes.
They really want to be good brothers.
"Well, I'm here..."
"Your Highness, Prince Yan, what are you doing with your food? It's unsightly... bring it to me!"
"Hahahaha, why bother watching when you have something to eat... burp~"
…
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao came to pick up Zhu Su, opened the door, and found his four brothers lying on Zhu Su's bed.
Fortunately, Zhu Su's bed was a bed, so he could barely sleep on these four young men. After Zhu Biao was stunned, he guessed the reason. He couldn't help but shook his head slightly, but the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously: "These unruly people..."
"Fifth brother, third brother, wake up..." He gently shook his brothers awake one by one. Zhu Xi and the others were still confused at first, but when they woke up and saw that it was their eldest brother Zhu Biao, they quickly woke up and sat up one by one, lowering their heads to prepare for the punishment.
The eldest brother is like father. The eldest brother Zhu Biao is the prince and has the power to discipline them. They were playing around all night, which was already a violation of the palace rules.
Although the eldest brother is kind to them, he also attaches great importance to rules...
"...It's still early, why don't you go back quickly? In a while, the chamberlain in the courtyard will call you to wash up." Zhu Biao did not get angry.
"Ah, it's already this hour! If you don't go back, you'll be late for morning class." Zhu Ping looked at the sky and his expression changed. They originally slept with their clothes on, but now they save a lot of effort.
The three of them jumped out of bed quickly. Zhu Fan, the calmest one, patted Zhu Su's shoulder gently: "Lao Wu, please listen to your elder brother when you leave the palace."
"I know." Zhu Su nodded, suddenly thinking of something. "By the way, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother. I'm not in the palace, so please help me take care of my mother."
"Don't overwork her!"
"I know." Zhu Fan nodded. Zhu Xi and Zhu Di also nodded to Zhu Su. They all knew that Zhu Su usually took care of his mother the most. But Fan Niang did the dirty work. Zhu Su must be angry.
"You do know how to be filial." Zhu Biao touched Zhu Su's head. There was a hint of warmth in my heart, but I didn't think too deeply about it. "I'm going to live with my eldest brother next. Have you packed everything?"
"Xiang Deng has sorted everything out. There isn't much at all." Zhu Su shrugged. The palace was too strict, not to mention personal items, even if he wanted to make some small inventions and creations to improve his living conditions, all of them would be confiscated by Lao Zhu. All you need to bring is a few clothes and royal robes to support the scene.
"In that case, wash up quickly and come with big brother." Zhu Biao said with a smile. "Your sister-in-law is preparing breakfast at the house early in the morning, so there is something for a greedy monkey like you."
"Really? That's great!" Zhu Su's eyes lit up. The slight separation sadness last night suddenly disappeared without a trace. I couldn't help but feel excited when I thought that I would be able to free up my hands and feet to do some things that a time traveler must do in the house of a generous eldest brother.
"Why don't you wash up? Let's go directly!" Zhu Su couldn't wait to grab Zhu Biao's sleeve.
