Chapter 25: Given by your father (please read it!)

The prince's oral instructions were not Lao Zhu's, and Zhu Xiongying was now in charge of supervising the country, so he listened to it all while standing.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the East Palace. Please go there quickly."

The old eunuch who delivered the instructions bowed and smiled in apology.

"I know it. Go back and tell your father. I will go there later."

The old eunuch nodded repeatedly and was about to leave, but he felt that it would be wrong not to say anything, so he came to Zhu Xiongying's side, lowered his head and whispered.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression was not very good when he was delivering the speech. You may have to be mentally prepared."

Abiao…

well…

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but sigh.

He could guess why A Biao summoned him to the East Palace.

In the past twenty years, Zhu Biao, the elegant prince who was elegant in the eyes of his ministers and always smiling, had always maintained the attitude of a strict father in front of Zhu Xiongying, and basically never smiled.

On the contrary, Emperor Zhu, who was like a massacre in the hearts of all officials, always smiled and was kind and kind when facing Zhu Xiongying.

So most of the time, Zhu Xiongying would rather face Zhu Yuanzhang than spend more time with Zhu Biao.

Maybe, this is a second-generation relationship?

"Come, reward."

When he heard that he was rewarded, the old eunuch immediately smiled from the corner of his mouth to his ears and thanked him repeatedly.

……………

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.

Xu Miaojin breathed a long sigh of relief when she returned to the mansion. Although she always felt that something was not right during this trip to Taisun's mansion, she finally solved the problem.

As for Xu Huizu, he kept asking Xu Miaojin whether he was a bastard who didn't want to marry, until Xu Miaojin said that this was an excuse made up to deal with His Highness the Grand Sun, Xu Huizu then turned around and went to the Governor's Mansion with a look of pity. The whole army was busy with affairs.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get home for ten days and a half.

"Miss is back."

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Lian'er greeted him.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Miaojin is so smart, he can see the anxious look on Lian'er's face at a glance.

"There are not enough ingredients for making scented tea in the mansion. I asked Ping'er to go out and buy some before, but she has been out for more than an hour and still hasn't come back."

"This damn girl must have taken the opportunity to go somewhere crazy."

Ping'er is a little girl in Xu Miaojin's courtyard. She is twenty-seven years old this year and is in her prime years. Lian'er is the same age as Xu Miaojin and is usually disciplined by her.

"You usually control her too strictly. If you get the chance to leave the house, you will naturally have more fun."

Xu Miaojin smiled.

"Hmph, she will go crazy as hard as she can. If something happens, it will be too late for her to regret it."

Lian'er was both angry and worried.

Xu Miaojin could see this, and after sending Lian'er away with a smile, he immediately summoned the servants in the mansion and asked them to go out and look for it.

………………

The private residence of King Qin.

Zhu Shangbing was lying on the bed, having received thirty military sticks from Chang Tianci. His buttocks were already blooming. A gentle young lady beside the bed was applying medicine to him.

Take a breath of cold air with a 'hiss' sound.

Then he slapped the little lady across the face.

"You won't be gentle?!"

The little lady was so dizzy from being slapped that she had tears in her eyes, so she could only wipe Zhu Shangbing's butt more carefully.

"Zhu Xiongying, if I don't kill you, I will take your last name!"

Zhu Shangbing cursed angrily, but as soon as he cursed, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that everyone's surname was Zhu.

My butt hurts again.

"Damn it, are you deliberately trying to hurt me to death?!"

Zhu Shangbing slapped the young lady on the face again, until her mouth was filled with blood. Zhu Shangbing, still not relieved, picked up the wooden pillow beside the bed and gave the young lady a hard hammer on the head, who was lying on the ground.

A strong adult man, a weak woman, three or five blows with the hammer, this little lady is already dying.

"another."

Discourse export.

Immediately the door was pushed open.

An old man with sly eyebrows walked in with two servants.

"Quick, quick, drag him out."

The old man looked at the half-dead little lady with a look of disgust.

"Your Highness, I just found a very charming little girl outside. Knowing that Your Highness was in a bad mood, I immediately brought her back to you for some fun."

The old man smiled mischievously and pinched his mustache.

"oh?"

As soon as he heard Miss Shui Ling, Zhu Shangbing suddenly felt that his butt didn't hurt so much and he grinned.

"I have a great time, I will be rewarded with many rewards."

The old man bowed repeatedly to thank him, and then clapped his hands.

"I am from the Duke of Wei's palace. If the Duke knows about it, you will definitely be killed..."

Zhu Shangbing looked at the little girl who was escorted into the house. She had a beautiful face and a slim figure. She seemed to have been with someone for a long time, and she actually had a slight aura of being out of the world, which made people unable to bear the blasphemy.

meaning.

This kind of little fairy-like girl has the best taste.

As for the Duke of Wei, haha.

Just a little girl.

Not to mention that after playing with it, he just found it and threw it into a well. No one knew about it. Even if someone knew that he, a dignified prince, was playing with a maid, that was the blessing that the maid had cultivated for three generations.

Zhu Shangbing had a perverted smile on his face.

"Lock it up."

Speak calmly.

The old man smiled, knowing the road was familiar, and quickly called for someone to put a thick-wristed dog leash on the little girl's neck, and also prepared a lot of fancy equipment...

The little girl slumped on the ground, watching all this and the man in front of her, fear and despair flashed in her eyes.

………………

East Palace, main hall.

When Zhu Xiongying arrived, Abiao, who had not gotten out of bed for ten and a half days, was now wearing the prince's court robes and sitting on the golden throne in the main hall, his pale cheeks and eyebrows tightly knitted, exuding majesty.

Beside him, Mrs. Lu stood waiting. Seeing Mrs. Lu, Zhu Xiongying felt unhappy all over.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying was quite speechless. It stands to reason that in order to secure the position of his eldest grandson and great-grandson, Lao Zhu should not set up any potential threats.

But it happened that after the death of Zhu Xiongying's biological mother Chang in the eleventh year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu agreed with Zhu Biao to let Lu become the crown prince's step-concubine on the grounds that Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunxi were too young and needed care.

Legally speaking, they can be regarded as legitimate sons, which in turn makes the mother and son have a lot of little thoughts in their hearts.

This makes it difficult for later generations to figure it out, and many people even subconsciously mistakenly believe that Lu became the crown prince and step-concubine because after Zhu Xiongying died, Lao Zhu did it in order to let Zhu Yunwen ascend to the throne.

In fact, this is not the case. According to the original historical trajectory, Zhu Xiongying died early in the 15th year of Hongwu, which was four years later than the 11th year of Hongwu when Lu became his concubine.

However, these were nothing to Zhu Xiongying. He just felt a little uncomfortable. Perhaps old Zhu Abiao really felt that Zhu Xiongying, who was five years old at the time, and Zhu Yunxi, who was just born, needed a woman to take care of him, so he casually agreed.

After all, whether it is Lao Zhu or A Biao, as long as Zhu Xiongying is still alive, there will always be only one heir they identify, and that is Master Zhu.

"Meet my father."

Zhu Xiongying knelt down and saluted according to the rules.

Just getting ready to get up.

"Kneel down!"

Zhu Biao shouted sharply, although he was weak.

But the anger between the words was obviously uncontrollable.
