Zhu Yunxuan took the jade pendant, looked at her dusty face, and said, "Thank you!"
"You don't have to thank me. This incident happened because of me. If I hadn't inspired you to write poems, you wouldn't have been taken advantage of by someone to steal the jade pendant."
"Now it is natural for me to return it to its original owner."
Perhaps because of running around all night, Xu Miaojin seemed very tired.
Zhu Yunzhen only thought that she was a little smart, unruly and willful girl before.
At this moment, there was no trace of shadow anywhere.
She suddenly became very calm, showing a maturity far beyond her age.
Probably people always have many sides, and the Xu Miaojin before was just her under the mask.
But the current Xu Miaojin is real.
Zhu Yunxuan shook his head and said: "That's not entirely true. As you said, since they arranged this situation, even if you didn't come, someone else would force me to come out and write poetry."
"My jade pendant will still be stolen."
"Then who can help me get it back?"
Xu Miaojin sighed and said, "Do you know who is trying to steal the True Dragon Jade Pendant?"
Zhu Yunxu raised the curtains of the carriage, looked outside, and said, "Fang Xiaoru has no real ability and can only study hard."
"But he is a very stubborn person. Even if others want to destroy his nine tribes, he will not do what he doesn't want to do."
"Besides my grandpa, there is only one person who can make him willingly appear in Jixian Tower."
Zhu Yunzhen did not mention the name.
This matter was obviously done by his good brother Zhu Yunwen.
The guards were all from the house, so it would be easy for Zhu Yunwen to get his whereabouts.
Fang Xiaoru is not Zhu Di, he is not an excellent actor.
Judging from Fang Xiaoru's expression that day, he probably didn't even know Zhu Yunzhen was in Jixian Tower.
Fang Xiaoru only went to Jixian Tower under Zhu Yunwen's arrangement.
Next, let others force Zhu Yunxi to write poems. Under the witness of Fang Xiaoru, a great scholar of the generation, Zhu Yunxi's reputation was discredited.
It's just that Zhu Yunwen certainly never expected that Zhu Yunwen would write such an eternal masterpiece as "The Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River Passing East".
Instead, Fang Xiaoru cleared his name in front of everyone in Jixian Tower.
This can only be said to be stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
However, the arrangement was successful in stealing the True Dragon Jade Pendant.
Zhu Yunzhen shook his head with a wry smile.
It seems that my brother, who is from the same mother, is not that stupid.
The conspiracy and tricks are actually quite effective.
Should he be happy for him, or sad?
"You people from the Zhu family are really scary." Xu Miaojin said, "When my father was alive, he often said how powerful your grandfather was."
"I was very unconvinced after hearing this. Without my father riding a horse and leading troops to conquer the country, why would your old Zhu family be the king?"
"My father scolded me and said I didn't know how high the sky was."
"Now it seems that my father was right. The people of Lao Zhu's family are indeed powerful."
"At least you are much better than me."
She paused and said, "Anyway, you still have to be careful."
"You are so popular now. You have offended many people by submitting a petition to impose additional business taxes."
"You have won His Majesty's favor again, and your poems are famous all over the world. Now the Ming Dynasty has not yet established its crown prince, and rumors are flying everywhere."
"Some people say that His Majesty intends to make you the crown prince. This goes against the ancient adage of establishing the elder rather than the young, and establishing heirs rather than virtuous ones. It is bound to attract opposition from the whole court."
"None of your uncles and brothers are fuel-efficient."
"No matter what you think in your mind, you're already involved."
…
"I don't know what's good about the Ninth Five Supreme Throne. Is it really more important than family?"
"Even my sister seems to have become a different person after marrying your fourth uncle. She even came to lie to me. She has never been like this before."
She seemed to have returned to her chatty mode, and after finishing her chattering, she said, "I'll leave first."
He stood up to get out of the carriage.
"Wait!"
Zhu Yunzhen stopped her and said, "Don't you want to study with me? Then stay?"
"Really?" The little girl was overjoyed.
Zhu Yunxuan nodded and said: "However, before I say anything ugly, I really haven't read any books."
"If you want to follow me, you will probably learn something different."
Xu Miaojin smiled brightly and said happily: "I like to learn those."
Zhu Yunxuan said again: "I don't know how to teach you. In fact, the main reason is that there is no one around me who I really trust."
"Although you are naughty, you can still be considered smart and not too stupid."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, your character is not too bad."
"The most important thing is that you are the Queen of Zhongshan and are full of honor. No one should be able to bribe you easily."
"If you stay with me and help me with some things, I'll feel more at ease."
He speaks his mind.
Taking in Xu Miaojin is fake, but getting a free labor force is real.
Although there were many guards in the mansion, Zhu Yunzhen never dared to say that they were only loyal to him.
On the contrary, as Zhu Yunwen is the eldest son in the family, it is normal for them to be loyal to Zhu Yunwen.
It was the palace maid and eunuch beside me.
Including Ying'er and Feng Dazhuang, he was not sure whether they would only listen to him.
This is not to doubt that they will betray themselves.
The main reason is that Zhu Yunzhen's position in the mansion is very embarrassing.
He is still a seven-year-old child with an older brother and a mother.
It was the duty of the maids and eunuchs around him to report his affairs to the mistress and eldest brother at home.
Can't blame them.
But in this case, he is now a real loner with no one available to him.
Fortunately, Xu Miaojin didn't care about this. Hearing this, he just said: "Okay!"
The carriage did not stop and continued towards Jinling City.
The little girl seemed really tired and fell asleep quickly.
Zhu Yunxuan was looking at the road outside, thinking about what he had experienced these days and how to deal with it next, and gradually fell into deep thought.
…
Jinling City, this is a magnificent courtyard.
A very burly man sat on a big chair, hugging him from left to right, accompanied by five women.
Some put him in his arms, or pressed his shoulders and legs, or let the man knead him, or fed him wine and food.
The man just enjoyed it to his heart's content.
The ultimate luxury.
The dancers are all female dancers. Different from the women from the Central Plains, their clothing is revealing and unique.
They danced for too long and were exhausted.
But the man didn't let them stop.
"Jump, keep jumping. Let's see who can hold on the longest today. The first one to fall will be whipped to death, hahaha..."
All the women serving around him were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were trembling, but no one dared to resist.
Because the man in front of him is Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, King Qin Zhu Cang, who is famous for his cruelty.
After Zhu Biao passed away, not only Zhu Di, but also other kings came to Beijing for the funeral.
Zhu Xi is naturally no exception.
He cried hard in front of Zhu Baoling.
But in my heart, I am actually more happy.
The eldest brother is dead, so next, in order, should I be made the prince?
In the future, he will inherit the throne and rule the world.
Zhu Xi took a sip of wine while being waited on by the beauty next to him.
He murmured:
"My good nephew is really smart."
"You're only seven years old, and you can write such beautiful poems and articles. It's great!"
"But what's the use of that? Our old Zhu family conquers the world on horseback, but we don't conquer the world by relying on nothing."
"If you can read, you shouldn't be reincarnated into our old Zhu's family. If you go to a commoner's family, you might even win the top prize."
"Our dad likes you so much, so go and die."
"The fourth child invited you to go hunting, and if you died on the way, he could not escape his responsibility."
"The throne of the Ming Dynasty belongs to me. You two, please stop fighting with me."
He suddenly shouted loudly and seemed to go crazy.
"Go to hell, go to hell!"
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
