Zhu Cixuan was startled and turned to look out the door.

A middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a medium build and a slight stoutness, an angry face and wearing the costume of a Ming Dynasty vassal king strode into the room, holding a ruler in his hand.

It is his "cheap daddy" in this life - King Ji Zhen Zhu Youli.

"My lord, please calm down! Wang'er was also young and confused for a while, and he didn't really do anything to this young lady!"

A lady who came in closely behind King Jizhen Zhu Youli hurriedly stopped in front of him to persuade him.

When Zhu Cixuan saw her, because the original owner had a deep relationship with her, he naturally felt admiration in his heart: This was his "cheap mother" in this life - Princess Ji Gong Min.

After hearing what the princess said, Zhu Youmei's face became even more angry. He pointed at Zhu Cixuan who was standing in a daze in the wing and shouted: "This traitor, let him go to burn incense and pray for blessings. He actually showed his bestiality in such a short time and robbed the women of the people.

Let the guard injure the young lady’s attendant.

Other people just paid it back, but the treacherous son, who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, actually snatched Chen Meijing, the eldest daughter of the prefect Chen!

At this time, Magistrate Chen sent troops to capture nearly a hundred guards of the palace. The evidence was conclusive. If Mr. Chen asked His Majesty to refer to the feudal clan, the clan government would not know how to punish the clan!

My beloved concubine, get out of the way! Wait for me to kill this traitorous son who has insulted our ancestors!"

Ji Wang Zhu Youmei thought of the ruthlessness of the current emperor Chongzhen, and couldn't help but panic. He picked up the ruler in his right hand and hit Zhu Cixuan with his head covered.

Zhu Cixuan was in severe pain, but he didn't dare to hide. He put his hands on his head to protect his head and face, and he was quickly thinking of ways to solve the "robbing a civilian girl" incident.

When Princess Ji saw the prince's ruler hitting her son Zhu Cixuan hard, she couldn't help but feel great pain. She cried and threw herself on her son to protect him.

"My lord, I only have such a son. If you want to kill him, you should kill me first!"

Ji Wang Zhu Youmei stopped the ruler in mid-air and looked at Princess Gong, angry and anxious:

"My dear concubine, even today, you are still protecting this traitor! If I don't beat him this time, I will completely remember him. I don't know how much trouble this traitor will cause in the future!"

Princess Ji hugged her son Zhu Cixuan and cried:

"Xuan'er, why are you so confused? Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to your father? Your father will be angry before he can go to Magistrate Chen to plead for you.

Hurry, Xuan'er."

Princess Ji quietly stretched out her left hand and gently pushed her son Zhu Cixuan's back.

Zhu Cixuan's mind flashed through scenes of his mother's love for him from childhood to adulthood. Then he walked up to King Ji Zhu Youli, saluted and said:

"Father, my son was confused for a moment yesterday. From now on, I will definitely follow my father's teachings and work hard."

These few words were said with absolute certainty and sincerity, as if Zhu Cixuan had suddenly awakened.

King Ji Zhu Youli felt a little relieved. He saw a few bruises on the back of Zhu Cixuan's hands and couldn't help but feel distressed. After all, he only had such a legitimate son.

Zhu Youli sighed, most of his anger dissipated, and sat down on the chair. The prince's maid, Quan'er, who was standing behind him, saw that the prince no longer beat the prince, so she hurriedly stepped forward and poured tea for the prince.

Then he walked to the princess and the crown prince Zhu Cixuan who had just sat down. After pouring tea for them, he stepped back and stood.

Zhu Cizhen looked at Quan'er's timid figure, and felt a warmth in his heart. Quan'er entered the palace at the age of ten and became his personal maid. She has taken good care of him and been loyal to him for five years.

It's just that the previous owner of this body looked down upon Quan'er's status as a commoner and only treated her as a servant, rarely paying attention to her.

Seeing his son's tender gaze towards Quan'er, Zhu Youli couldn't help but frown and snorted heavily. Zhu Cizhen quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head without saying a word.

Princess Ji Gong Min also saw this scene and said to Prince Ji Zhu Youli:

"Your Majesty, for the sake of Xuan'er being young and sincerely admitting his mistake, please spare him. Xuan'er will be 16 years old this year and has reached the age for marriage stipulated by Grandfather Taizu.

Yesterday’s incident can’t be entirely blamed on Xuan’er, ‘I know Mu Shaoai in all probability’, not to mention that Xuan’er will be 16 years old soon.”

Zhu Youli said with a straight face: "My beloved, it's because you dote on Xun'er so much that you make him behave like this! My beloved, you must never do this again."

Zhu Youmei took a sip of tea and pondered for a while:

"For our current plan, we have to say that Xun'er is young and everything was done by Zhao Zheng, the commander of the bodyguards, to please Xun'er.

In this way, Magistrate Chen could only punish Zhao Zheng for his crimes, but could not ask His Majesty for the vassal's crimes. Nowadays, Shaanxi has been suffering from drought for many years, and bandits are everywhere. Jiannu also enters the pass and plunders from time to time, approaching the capital. Your Majesty is worried, but he dare not alarm him.

Your Majesty.

After a while, Xuan'er will go to the magistrate's office with me to meet Magistrate Chen."

Princess Ji nodded slowly. She knew that the prince was most worried about disturbing the current emperor and asking the Zongren Mansion to punish Ji Fan. This would be a big disaster. If not, Xuan'er would be imprisoned in Fengyang Zongren Mansion.

Prison.

When Zhu Cixuan heard this, he remembered that Zhao Zhengjiu, the commander of the bodyguards, was in the palace and had watched him grow up. He was extremely loyal and affectionate. His father wanted Zhao Zheng to take over everything and become the scapegoat. Although judging from yesterday's incident,

He can be spared the death penalty, but several years in prison are unavoidable.

Zhu Cixuan couldn't bear it. He was suddenly in troubled times and needed a confidant in urgent need. How could he let the loyal Zhao Zheng be imprisoned for a few years?

"Father, the commander of the guards, Zhao Zheng, is commendable for his loyalty. If he is allowed to take over everything, he will be jailed for a few years at best, or sent to the frontier at worst. Isn't this too cold for the hearts of loyal ministers?"

When Zhu Youli heard this, he was slightly surprised:

"You traitor! You still know how to chill the hearts of loyal ministers. It's not all your fault! So what do you think we should do? Otherwise, I'll let you go to Fengyang Pass for a few years to correct your bad habits!"

Princess Ji quickly winked at her son Zhu Cixuan, telling him to stop talking.

Zhu Cixuan's mind was racing, and the celestial beauty of Chen Meijing, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, suddenly appeared in his mind. He also recalled the deeds of Chen Xiangming, the prefect of Chen in history, and couldn't help but blurt out:

"My father, my mother, my queen, and my sons want to...want to marry Miss Chen as the crown prince!"

The three of them looked at each other.

After a few minutes, Ji Wang Zhu Youmei and Princess Gong both nodded slowly.

Zhu Cixuan was overjoyed and was about to speak to finalize the marriage. Prince Ji Zhu Youli looked at his expression and said calmly:

"It would be great if we could marry Magistrate Chen, but because of your ridiculous behavior yesterday, Xuan'er, I'm afraid Magistrate Chen hates you very much and won't agree."

What Zhu Youmei was thinking was that if he married Chen Xiangming, everything would be easier for Prince Ji in the Changsha fiefdom and he would have much more freedom.

Since Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, came down, local officials should not be too strict in supervising the local vassal kings, and they would often report to the emperor.

Although the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to marry the daughter of a minister, that refers to the central ministers and senior officials of the third rank or above. In an inconspicuous central government like Changsha Prefecture, the prefect is only a fourth-rank foreign official.

At this time, the marriage of men and women is under the orders of their parents, so Zhu Youmei is not worried that the eldest lady of the Chen family is unwilling to marry the bastard Prince Ji who is teasing him.

Princess Ji had heard of the virtuous and virtuous reputation of the eldest daughter of Magistrate Chen's family in the palace, and also knew that she had outstanding appearance. She felt that she was worthy of her prince.

Zhu Cixuan's mind turned around and he understood the thoughts of his father, Zhu Youli. This is the advantage of the time traveler who seems to have a "God's perspective".

Zhu Cixuan immediately understood that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, become a powerful force, and ultimately change the history of Luchen, China, whether he could marry the prefect Chen Xiangming and establish a good relationship to help him would be the first critical step.

Zhu Cixuan's brain, which has been involved in the complex political and business circles of the 21st world for nearly ten years, immediately started working at full speed. After a moment, he asked Zhu Youli:
Chapter completed!
