Zhu Biao and his entourage stayed in Xi'an Mansion until mid-September before leaving.
The main reason is that Zhu Ping has done too many bad things, and Zhu Biao needs to deal with them one by one.
Although there was assistance from Yang Xuan in the middle, it still took more than a month.
Zhu Biao's health has improved a lot, but there is a tendency for it to get worse.
Seeing this, Yang Xuan suggested that Zhu Biao stay in Xi'an Mansion for some more time.
But Zhu Biao refused. He wanted to finish inspecting other places while there was still time and return to the capital before the end of the year.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Yang Xuan could only sigh and do what he was responsible for.
In late September, the group came to Taiyuan.
The situation here is much better than in Xi'an.
It is true that Jin King Zhu Fan did a lot of bad things when he came to the vassal, but he was punished by Lao Zhu and restrained himself a lot.
No big mistakes were made, but small ones were made, but they had little impact.
Overall, it can be regarded as conscientious.
After staying in Taiyuan for a few days and talking about brotherhood with Zhu Fan, Zhu Biao left again.
The next stop is Datong, which is also an important border town.
However, King Sai has not been arranged to guard it yet. According to Yang Xuan's understanding, Lao Zhu intends to let the Thirteenth Prince Yu Wang Zhu Gui come here to join the vassal. (It has not been changed to Acting King yet)
It is worth mentioning that Xu Miaoqing, the second daughter of Zhongshan King Xu Da, has married Zhu Gui this month and became Princess Yu.
Yang Xuan felt a little regretful that he missed his junior sister's wedding.
There was no way, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the prince, and he certainly couldn't leave at will.
Fortunately, Anqing representative Yang Xuan sent a congratulatory gift.
At the same time, there is another thing, that is, Xu Yungong's child was born, a son.
He hasn't chosen a name yet, but he said he will decide what to choose after Xu Yungong returns.
In October, Zhu Biao, Yang Xuan and his party came to Peiping.
Zhu Di personally led his family out of the city to greet him.
When the two brothers met, they first performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and then hugged each other heavily.
"Brother!"
"Fourth brother!"
"Brother, my younger brother knows you are coming to Peiping and has been prepared for it for a long time. Why are you coming now?"
"Oh, he's not your second brother yet."
"It took a lot of time to clean up the mess in Xi'an Mansion and appease the people."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Zhu Biao sighed, then shook his head.
"Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you now?"
"But looking at you now, you have matured a lot!"
"I will leave the important town of Peiping to you. My father and I can rest assured." Zhu Biao brought the topic to Zhu Di again.
"Thank you for your concern, eldest brother. Everything is fine with my younger brother in Peiping."
"Besides, after so many years, my brother has already gotten used to it."
"Look at what I look like now. When I go out, I'm no different from a native northerner."
"If I didn't say anything, who would know that I lived in the capital when I was a child." Zhu Di said with a smile.
He is now tall and tall, his skin has become rough and dark, and he has grown a beard.
He is completely different from the boy he was back then.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Afterwards, the group entered Beiping City.
Long before coming to Beiping City, Zhu Biao conducted unannounced visits to some counties under Beiping Prefecture.
Although the lives of the people are still not as good as those in the capital, they are much better than those in Xi'an Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion.
After this unannounced visit, Zhu Biao was quite satisfied with Zhu Di.
In Prince Yan's mansion, Zhu Biao rested for a while to recuperate his energy.
Zhu Di had also prepared a banquet to receive Zhu Biao.
Of course, the person specifically responsible is Xu Miaoyun, and Zhu Di is really not good at this.
The dishes at the banquet were mainly local specialties, and no southern dishes were arranged.
Because the ingredients for some dishes require special personnel to transport them from the south, which costs a lot.
Xu Miaoyun arranged this because she didn't want Zhu Biao to think that they were wasting people and money just for a banquet.
After all, Zhu Biao pays great attention to people's livelihood.
In the end, Zhu Biao enjoyed the banquet very happily and praised Zhu Di non-stop.
The latter was very grateful to his princess, because if it were him, he would definitely not have thought so carefully.
…
For a few days after arriving in Peiping, Yang Xuan had been following Zhu Biao and had no chance to reminisce with his senior sister. Today he finally had time.
"After many years of not seeing each other, senior sister has become more mature and charming. I think His Highness Prince Yan must be under the control of senior sister." Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"Well, junior brother, are you the one who teases senior sister so much?" Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyes at Yang Xuan and said angrily.
She is exactly thirty years old this year, which in future generations is the most beautiful age for a woman, mature, stable and independent.
The charm that exudes is the most charming.
Yang Xuan had no other thoughts, he just sighed that time flies by so fast.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years later, the senior sister now has five children.
He has already met his younger son Zhu Gaosui, what should I say?
He felt that the boy was sly and cunning.
The three brothers each have their own characteristics. The eldest brother Zhu Gaochi is kind, the second brother Zhu Gaoxu is naive and stubborn, and the third brother Zhu Gaosui is cunning.
The senior brothers and sisters chatted about the past and reminisced about the past together.
While chatting, the topic came up about Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu.
Youdao's mother was worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away, so her two sons traveled thousands of miles away to study in the capital.
Although nothing would happen, Xu Miaoyun was still worried that her son would not be able to eat or sleep well.
After all, this is the first time in his life that his two children have been away from him for such a long time.
Yang Xuan knew the senior sister's worries, so he told her about Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu's life in the capital.
Xu Miaoyun listened carefully and slowly fell into trance.
She is not too worried about her eldest son because he is stable, but she understands her second son and is afraid of getting into trouble and making Lao Zhu unhappy.
After hearing that Zhu Gaoxu was taught a lesson by Yang Xuan, Xu Miaoyun said: "Junior brother, you taught him a good lesson."
"This child has been spoiled by His Highness. It's impossible not to deal with it."
That's what he said, but the concern in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Yang Xuan explained again that it only caused him some physical pain and did not hurt his muscles and bones.
"Junior brother, this child has been naughty since he was a child, and it really bothers you." Xu Miaoyun said.
"It's okay, it's just a kid, just teach him well." Yang Xuan said with a smile.
After talking about the two children, Xu Miaoyun became concerned about Yang Xuan again.
"Junior brother, you said you and the princess have been married for so many years, why don't you have a child?"
