East Palace.
"Son, let's go, follow dad."
Zhu Gaochi waved to his son.
"It's Chinese New Year, where are you taking your son?" Crown Princess Zhang quickly poked her head out.
"Someone came from the palace just now and said that the New Year's Eve dinner will not be held in the palace."
"Let us and the second and third children spend their time at home."
"I estimate that the old man and my mother are probably going to my uncle's place."
Zhu Gaochi explained.
"It doesn't matter if you don't go to the palace. It's the same thing every year and it's not interesting."
"We are comfortable behind closed doors."
Princess Zhang said.
"Oh, you don't understand."
"Okay, no more talking, I have to go over and take a look."
Zhu Gaochi took his son's hand and turned around.
"You took your son away, what about me?" the Crown Princess said dissatisfied.
"Zhan Yong and Zhan Yong are still young. What will happen to the children if you leave?"
"And the house can't live without you."
"Just be more patient, ah~"
Zhu Gaochi coaxed his wife with nice words.
"Okay, then remember to say hello to the old man and mother for me."
Crown Princess Zhang said reluctantly.
She was not ignorant. Not to mention that she had two young sons under three years old. She did not dare to leave at will just because Zhu Gaochi had two concubines of high status.
A granddaughter of Guo Ying and a granddaughter of Zhang Yu, both have simple backgrounds.
"Okay." Zhu Gaochi nodded and walked out of the East Palace with his eldest son.
…
the other side.
The youngest Zhu Gaosui and the second youngest Zhu Gaoxu met on the street.
"Second brother!"
"The third child?"
"What are you doing?" Zhu Gaoxu was confused.
"Hey, the old man doesn't know what he wants to do. I've already made arrangements at home, but he suddenly sent someone to tell me that he won't be spending this year in the palace."
"You said this isn't annoying!"
The little old man shook his head and complained.
"I didn't want to ask you what's going on."
"Hey, second brother, is it possible for you too?"
Xiao Lao San asked again immediately.
"Well, I wanted to ask you about the situation, but it seems you don't know either."
The little boy said.
"Then go to the boss. The boss will definitely know." The third child said.
"Let's go!" The little boy nodded.
The two of them walked towards the East Palace.
Not long after, I met Zhu Gaochi and his eldest nephew at a fork in the road.
"Boss, where are you and your eldest nephew going?"
"Second child, third child?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.
"Second uncle, third uncle." Zhu Zhanji saluted.
"Haha... eldest nephew, tell your second uncle, where is your father planning to take you?"
Zhu Gaoxu directly picked up Zhu Zhanji and asked with a smile.
Zhu Zhanji did not answer, but looked back at his father.
"Second brother, second brother, put Zhan Ji down quickly. He's so old and he's still holding him." Zhu Gaochi said quickly.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu put down his eldest nephew and did not forget to rub his head.
The little guy was dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu laughed.
Later, the three brothers chatted, and the second and third brothers knew that the father and son were going to their uncle's house.
"No, how did you know that the old man and mother went to the uncle's house?" The little boy felt that his brain was not enough.
"Hey, intuition!" Zhu Gaochi said with a simple and honest smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it!
…
At the same time, Changping Hou Mansion.
"There is something I want to discuss with you." Yang Xuan looked at Zhu Di and said.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Di asked casually while warming himself over the fire.
"I have a child at home who is already over 20 years old and has not yet been married."
"It just so happens that Lan Yu has a daughter who is almost twenty."
"I'm going to be a matchmaker for them."
"What do you think?" Yang Xuan said.
"You are so interested in it. Could it be that this child has an old relationship with you?"
Zhu Di straightened up and looked at Yang Xuan.
"The son of an old friend." Yang Xuan said.
"Do I know him?" Zhu Di asked.
"The child of Erhu and Yu'er." Yang Xuan replied.
As soon as the names of these two people came out, Zhu Di's expression became serious.
"Why are their children here with you?"
In Zhu Di's memory, Er Hu had long been secretly executed by Lao Zhu.
"Taizu entrusted him before his death." Yang Xuan met Zhu Di's eyes and said.
"What about Yu'er?"
"I'm here too."
"Can the mother and son come to see me?"
"Of course you can."
Yang Xuan nodded.
Then he looked at An Qing, who walked outside the door and gave Xiuhe instructions.
Not long after, Yu'er brought her son Huzi over.
"Slave, please see Your Majesty, Queen!"
"Common people see you, Your Majesty, the Queen!"
Mother and son saluted.
"Ping Shen!" Zhu Di said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, my queen!"
"You are old!" Zhu Di looked at Yu'er who was already old and sighed with emotion.
Since Queen Ma passed away, Yu'er has not been seen.
Later, he was imprisoned by Lao Zhu.
"This slave is no longer young, so naturally she is no better than before."
Yu'er said.
Zhu Di didn't know what to say next, so he looked at his wife.
The latter understood, and stepped forward to hold Yu'er's hand, chatting and reminiscing about the past.
When she first entered the palace for three years, Yu'er helped her a lot.
The two also established a deep friendship.
At this time, Zhu Di also turned his eyes to Hu Zi.
After looking at it carefully, he nodded: "Not bad, looks like Erhu."
Isn't this nonsense? Of course they look like father and son... Yang Xuan on the side complained in his heart.
"I heard that you haven't gotten married yet?" Zhu Di asked again.
These words made Huzi blush.
This is the first time in my life that someone has asked me such a straightforward question.
More importantly, the person who asked this question was the current emperor.
He was embarrassed and nervous.
"Back...back to Your Majesty, yes."
"You kid, you are not happy at all!"
Zhu Di said.
"Your Majesty, the common people are frightened by His Majesty's divine power." Huzi prepared his mind well and said word by word.
After all, he has been trained by Lao Hu for several years, and his mental quality is still good.
"This is so refreshing!" Zhu Di laughed.
"Would you like to come to Jinyiwei to work for me?"
"As long as you agree, I will grant you a marriage."
Zhu Di said.
He didn't mention Lan Yu's daughter, maybe because he still had a grudge against Lan Yu in his heart.
When Yu'er heard Zhu Di's words, she quickly cast a look at her son, telling him to refuse.
She just wants to live a good life and doesn't want to get involved in these things anymore.
She knew very well what happened to the two Jin Yiwei commanders.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. If Lao Zhu hadn't softened his heart in the end, I'm afraid the end of the two tigers wouldn't have been much better.
He really didn't want to let his son go on this road again.
After all, Huzi is an adult and has his own ideas.
So I didn't listen to my mother.
He knelt down on one knee, cupped his fist and said, "Thank you for your grace!"
"OK."
"Just be a small flag. After the New Year, you can then take up a post in Jinyiwei." Zhu Di was very satisfied with Huzi's attitude.
"According to the order!" Huzi said seriously.
Seeing this, Yu'er directly covered her heart, feeling very heartbroken.
