"Xu...Shimei?" Zhu Su, who was unprepared, couldn't react. Xu Da did come to visit the village today. He has been visiting here often since he became interested in military training methods. In addition, his eldest son is also here. Xu Da often comes to visit and no one can fault him. When more people came, Zhu Su no longer received him in person every time. Although Uncle Xu was not easy to get close to, he was actually not that big of an arrogant person.
Xu Da also brought Xu Miaoyun here? Why is Xu Miaoyun here? Even the people in Zhuangzi knew this place. It was impossible for Xu Miaoyun to come here by accident. Before he could think about the result, he heard Xu Miaoyun's soft voice saying: "Your Highness, do you want to make tea? If you don't want to give up, please allow me to do it for you." After saying that, he invited Zhu Su to sit in the pavilion.
Naturally, it is impossible for an unmarried man and an unmarried woman to live together here alone. A middle-aged waitress beside Xu Miaoyun respectfully took the pine cone from Zhu Su. A small stove and tea sets had been prepared in the pavilion. Xu Miaoyun used the pine cones to start a fire skillfully, then boiled water to make tea and served it to Zhu Su. The whole process was meticulous yet smooth, like blue clouds emerging from the sky, which made Zhu Su couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"I have not thanked you in person for being comforted by His Highness. My younger brother Yungong has been taught by His Highness and has made a lot of progress now. Miaoyun should thank His Highness." Xu Miaoyun said softly. The sound is like a breeze blowing in the ears.
"You're welcome, Sister Shi." Zhu Su blushed a little. It was sheer nonsense that he comforted Xu Miaoyun with three strikes. Later, Xu Da also said personally that it was not the case at all. In addition, because of his own spoilers, his brother Zhu Di deliberately spread rumors to destroy Xu Miaoyun's best friend's reputation.
Now everyone in Yingtian Mansion knows that the Xu eldest daughter is disliked by the prince, and Xu Miaoyun has become a negative example for goddaughters in various families. If any family has a daughter who is obsessed with reading and is not a female celebrity, her mother will use the example of Xu Miaoyun to preach: Look at the daughter of the Duke of Wei, who was disliked by an unknown prince because she read too many books, so she suffered like this. What a shame. If you become a female student, aren't you also a loser who can't get married? It can be seen that the virtue of women without talent is true!
Although Lao Zhu tried his best to deny this rumor, he even got angry. But some people still believe this rumor. Previously, there were rumors that the royal family and Duke Xu Da of Wei were at odds because of this, which almost caused shock in both the government and the public. As a result, Zhu Laosi was spanked again.
His brother was not honest with others, so it was naturally difficult for Zhu Su to raise his head in front of Xu Miaoyun.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be cautious." Xu Miaoyun smiled slightly, and Zhu Su could see that she was actually a little uncomfortable. This girl has only been seen for a few months, but she has become even more beautiful. Lihua Daiyu, who had seen her cry before in the Royal Garden, now showed her ladylike demeanor. Every frown and every smile is elegant. It’s not like we’ve never seen our daughter Zhu Su before, but this is definitely the first time she has such a temperament.
Zhu Laosi, Zhu Laosi, you are such a fool, you have really suffered a big loss.
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhu Su decided to apologize on behalf of Zhu Di. In the early Ming Dynasty, although the demand for women's reputation was not so morbid, Zhu Laosi ruined the reputation of women in other women's boudoirs in order to escape from marriage. "There were rumors in the city that insulted Shimei's reputation. Although it was not my intention, it was ultimately related to my Zhu family. I would like to apologize to Shimei."
A flash of red clouds flew over Xu Miaoyun's face. She picked up the teapot on the stove and poured another cup for Zhu Su with her head lowered. Then she said: "The rumors in the market are just nonsense. The little girl didn't pay attention to it, so it doesn't matter."
As he spoke, he raised his head, his face flushed but his eyes were blazing, and he changed the subject: "Dare you ask if Your Highness has ambitions to reach the top? My father is old, and Miaoyun only hopes that my father can be safe and sound." , I really don’t want to see him get involved in the whirlpool..."
"Huh?" Zhu Su didn't react for a moment, and why was Lingyun's ambition suddenly involved? Besides, you want Uncle Xu to spend his old age in peace, but he may not be willing to do so. Lao Zhu just gave him a chicken blood injection, and I'm afraid that he is now excitedly planning to use his remaining power to give the Xu family a king's seat. Sit down! While complaining in his heart, he replied casually: "What aspiration to reach the clouds, I like stability the most."
"I only want to be a free king for a short life. I can occasionally help my father, my eldest brother, and maybe make my Ming Dynasty a little more powerful. Then it will be a worthwhile journey in this era."
These words were indeed what Zhu Su said from the bottom of his heart. Xu Miaoyun carefully looked at Zhu Su's face and felt relieved when he saw that he didn't seem to be faking it. "That's fine. It's the little girl who overstepped her bounds."
After chatting for a few more words, Xu Miaoyun stood up and left. Zhu Su sent her down the mountain path in a daze, and then returned to the pavilion in a daze for a while. Then he suddenly came back to his senses with a slap on his head.
"Could this be...a premeditated blind date?"
There were only a few people who knew that they would come here today, only Xiang Deng, Gou'er, Li Wenzhong and several guards responsible for protecting them.
Xu Da and Li Wenzhong had a close relationship. Every time Xu Da came, he would not necessarily come looking for him, but he would definitely look for Li Wenzhong.
Xu Miaoyun suddenly appeared here. If Li Wenzhong and Xu Da hadn't colluded, what else could have happened?
Xu Miaoyun's words just now were obviously to test whether he had the intention to seize the direct descendant!
Reconnecting the previous guesses of himself and Yao Guangxiao, an even more shocking conclusion appeared in Zhu Su's mind.
Lao Zhu, he wouldn’t want to point Xu Miaoyun out to him, right?
Lao Zhu may even have secretly spread rumors in court! Otherwise, Ru Taisu would not suddenly regard himself as a big problem, and he would not suddenly become a favorite in the eyes of Hu Weiyong and Lu Zhongheng.
If he gets married to Xu Miaoyun, the Xu family of Duke Wei will immediately become his most solid backing!
What kind of existence does the Xu family have in today's Ming Dynasty? Xu Da, a man of unparalleled achievements and the Ming Dynasty's military god, was truly the first in the martial arts family. As a general, Xu Da was always the marshal with the highest command authority when he went on expeditions. To be honest, all the nobles had served as his subordinates. Its influence can even affect the world's soldiers and horses to a certain extent.
Xu Da even served as prime minister and had great influence among civil servants!
If such a force firmly supports him in seizing the throne, even the most stable Crown Prince Zhu Biao in history will have to shake the crown prince's throne three times!
What on earth does this cheap old man want to do?
Now is the time for the Ming Dynasty to work together. Lao Zhu knew that he had no intention of becoming emperor, but he wanted to use himself as a target...
Zhu Su was very dissatisfied with Lao Zhu's behavior of making a fuss about himself. Fortunately, I was still trembling in the palace before, trying my best to explain that I had no intention of taking the throne. I didn't expect that all these things were caused by you, a father who cheated his son.
The Ming Dynasty was full of martial virtue, and Ru Taisu's roundabout impeachment was considered civilized and polite. If he really allowed himself to go against his eldest brother in a clear flag, he would not become one of those civil servants who said everyone would punish him in the future. A street rat?
Sooner or later, he will be sprayed into a sieve by those mouthy people!
Those literati dared to write blind history books. How could Zhu Houzhao be blackmailed by these guys?
I don’t want to be a villain in the history books!
Thinking of this, Zhu Su had no intention of continuing to drink tea. He ran down the mountain in a hurry, shouting hello while running:
"Xiang Deng, Xiang Deng! Where have you gone?"
"Prepare your horses! Prepare your horses quickly!"
"I want to go back to the palace!"
