"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Meet the Queen."
When Xiao Han and Zhu Biao walked into Kunning Palace, they went to pay homage.
"Little brat."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xiao Han, smiled and cursed again: "There are no outsiders here, so you don't need so many etiquette, get up."
"The etiquette between king and minister cannot be abolished."
Xiao Han scratched his head and stood up slowly.
"You kid, you have said since you were a child that you don't like Mr. Li's pedantry and don't know how to adapt to everything. But look at what you look like now. What's the difference between you and Mr. Li back then?"
Queen Ma, who was sitting aside, glanced at Xiao Han helplessly, shook her head slightly and said.
“The old days are the old days.”
"Today is today."
"How can we compare it to the same day?"
Xiao Han still looked serious and shook his head.
But in fact, I have already begun to curse in my heart. What kind of character is Zhu Yuanzhang? Numbered!
"Why can't we compare them with each other?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Han again, and said softly.
"In the past, I served Your Majesty as a junior and treated Your Majesty as an elder."
"But today, Your Majesty is in charge of the world, and I should judge it as a minister."
A sense of vigilance arose in Xiao Han's heart, but he still said respectfully.
have to!
No need to think about it, Lao Zhu’s test is coming again!
This old boy had to take a small test every three days and a big test every five days. Sometimes, he had to take the test for the whole month, which made Xiao Han miserable. Fortunately, when he came to Kunning Palace today, Xiao Han was more thoughtful. , otherwise, he might have to keep company with Lu Chang.
Not to mention Lao Zhu Zheng'er's question from the Eight Classics, even if he asked casually, Xiao Han had to give a straight answer. After all, the history of China for thousands of years has taught Xiao Han a truth, that is, emperors are fickle, everything Don’t be complacent before the dust settles. There are too many lessons learned from this.
Besides, this is still facing Lao Zhu, Emperor Hongwu, who knows everything!
"You little brat, stop pretending. We don't like your attitude."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, but looking at the vigilant Xiao Han in front of him, he couldn't help but feel amusement in his heart. Then he waved his hand again and cursed with a smile: "If you keep pretending, we will punish you for deceiving the emperor." , let you go and keep Lu Chang company."
Xiao Han has always been a child raised by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. Even if he is not as good as Zhu Biao, he naturally has a place in Lao Zhu's heart. Therefore, how could Lao Zhu not know Xiao Han's character? This is completely Pretending.
"Stop making trouble, sit down quickly. Mom really loves you. I have never seen mom cook such a large table of delicious food for anyone, and they are all what you like to eat."
Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han who looked a little embarrassed, then directly pulled Xiao Han to sit next to him, and said angrily again.
Indeed, the table full of delicacies, except for the plate of sesame cakes next to Lao Zhu, were almost all Xiao Han's favorites. This shows how much Empress Ma loves Xiao Han.
"You kid, be satisfied. How many dishes can we eat in a day in our lifetime?"
"Look at you bastard again. When you come to Kunning Palace, all the delicacies prepared by your aunt are prepared just for you. I'm so jealous of you."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the imperial meal on the table, with a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
"You, an old man, still have to argue with a child."
Queen Ma naturally noticed the jealousy in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, but she was not a mother who spoiled her children, so she immediately rolled her eyes and said.
"Boren and Tiande like to eat roasted goose. Every time they come, you prepare roasted goose for them. Fengxue, this kid, likes to eat a lot, so you prepare a table full of it. We also want to prepare some good things, but you Just won’t let it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy immediately, and then retorted.
"If you can eat, eat. If you can't, then you will fall down."
But who would have expected that Empress Ma would be more assertive and retaliate directly against Lao Zhu, which made Lao Zhu's face turn black. Just when he was about to get angry, he met Empress Ma's cold eyebrows and raised her eyes. He shrank his head consciously again, let's forget it, he might not be able to offend this bitch!
"Fengxue, let's eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."
Looking at the cowardly Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma was too lazy to pay attention to him. Then, a smile appeared on her face again and she began to pick up food for Xiao Han. Of course, her own son also had to pick it up, but she ignored Lao Zhu, even though Lao Zhu looked at him eagerly. Queen Ma didn't even move her chopsticks.
"Thank you, aunt."
Xiao Han nodded lightly, looked at the deflated Zhu Yuanzhang again, hesitated again and again, stretched out his chopsticks, picked out a chicken leg for Zhu Yuanzhang, and said: "Uncle, I don't know if the snow-cold ones are to your liking." ..."
"Good boy."
"It fits so well. It fits so well."
Lao Zhu almost burst into tears, and he was even more moved in his heart. He almost pulled Xiao Han for a kiss. When it came to doing things, it was Xiao Han who knew that in this embarrassing situation, he would give him, Lao Zhu, a step down. It is indeed a cub that I raised by myself. Congratulations!
But Zhu Biao and Queen Ma were stunned on the spot. Since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, even at family banquets, Xiao Han has only called him uncle Huang, but never called him uncle Zhu Yuanzhang. But today...
Afterwards, Zhu Biao and Queen Ma looked at each other, with a smile flashing in their eyes. Xiao Han took this step, which meant that Xiao Han regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as a relative in his heart, not just as His Majesty. That's all, then that's enough.
"Let us three drink a few cups?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair without any image, and then looked at Xiao Han again and asked.
"good."
Xiao Han and Zhu Biao nodded and said at the same time,
"Sister, bring up the good wine at the hour, let us three drink some."
Lao Zhu also had a happy smile on his face, and then he looked at Queen Ma beside him and said hello.
"I'll prepare it for you."
Queen Ma smiled and nodded, then walked into the small kitchen. There was a fine wine collected by Lao Zhu, and it was a fine wine that Lao Zhu used to entertain his old brothers. Most courtiers could not drink it.
But while the main hall of Kunning Palace was enjoying themselves, Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian in the side hall were sitting there staring at each other.
"Yang Zuocheng, let's go back to Zhongshu Province. We are busy with government affairs and cannot delay, lest His Majesty blame us."
Hu Weiyong wanted to scold Yang Xian's mother, but because Yang Xian was his immediate boss now, he might as well forget it, he said in a deep voice.
"Just wait a little longer."
Yang Xian raised his eyes, shook his head slightly and said.
As for what exactly Yang Xian is waiting for?
Of course it's not possible to be jealous of Xiao Han!
It's nothing more than the matter of Lu Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs.
After all, the evidence for this matter is conclusive, but Lao Zhu only imprisoned Lu Chang and has not yet held him accountable, so this is not acceptable. Yang Xian can't wait any longer, and the Minister of Household Affairs must be a close aide of Yang Xian's.
