As the sun sets, the sound of horse hooves finally came from the official road in the distance. Then a group of people appeared in the distance. Zhu Biao, who was standing on the official road, also showed an excited expression and immediately led people forward to greet him.

"Brother!" A man rode a horse and stood up. When he saw Zhu Biao, he screamed excitedly, then threw his saddle and took off his horse to salute Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao also hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party and said, "Sixth brother, you have worked hard all the way. Come with me to the palace. My father is waiting for you in the palace!"

However, just as Zhu Biao finished speaking, a young man walked forward quickly behind Zhu Zhen and saluted him and said, "Nephew, uncle!"

"You are Meng Xiang. When you saw you last time, you were still a little boy. Unexpectedly, when you saw you again, you are already a beautiful boy!" Zhu Biao looked at the young man, then said with a smile.

Zhu Mengcon was also very happy to see Zhu Biao. When he heard his praise, he said embarrassedly: "Thank you, uncle, is your cousin in the capital? I have long wanted to get together with him!"

"Of course, Yunwen and Yunyu are both in the capital, but they are usually busy. The news you came here is a bit sudden today, so I didn't have time to notify them. I will give them a few days off these two days and let them accompany you!" Zhu Biao immediately smiled again.

"Uncle Thank you!" Zhu Mengcong thanked Zhu Biao again after hearing this.

However, Zhu Biao suddenly saw Li Jie at this time, so he pulled him over and introduced him to Zhu Zhen and his son: "This is my son-in-law Li Jie. You should have heard of it?"

"Of course I have heard of the famous Jinghai Bo. Now we are all a family. Speaking of which, Meng Chuang admires you the most!" Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up when he saw Li Jie, and immediately stepped forward and said politely, and also pulled Zhu Meng Chuang over.

Zhu Mengcon was also very excited when he saw Li Jie. He immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "Mengcon paid homage to his brother-in-law. He had long heard from his cousin that his brother-in-law is the best smart person in the world. I would like to ask my brother-in-law for more advice in the future!"

"Your Highness and the Crown Prince are so polite. I have heard of His Highness the King of Chu's achievements in the south for a long time, and I have admired him for a long time. When I see you today, your Highness and the Crown Prince are indeed far superior to ordinary people!" Li Jie also smiled and praised. After all, it is the first time we meet, so it is not harmful to flatter each other.

It was getting late at this time, so Zhu Biao probably introduced the others to Zhu Zhen, and then took their father and son back to the palace. After all, Lao Zhu was still waiting for them in the palace, and Li Jie naturally had to accompany him. After all, Zhu Zhen and his son returned to Beijing, and he had an inseparable relationship with him.

Zhu Biao asked Zhu Zhen and his son to take the same car with him, but when he was on the road, Zhu Zhen couldn't help asking: "Uncle, this time my father suddenly summoned me back to Beijing, and he didn't say anything. I was worried about whether something happened in the capital along the way?"

"Sixth brother, don't worry, there is no problem in the capital. The father summoned you back because he had an important task to hand over to you, so he wanted to call you back and then give you a few words in person." Zhu Biao explained with a smile.

"Uncle, what kind of important task does it mean to ask your father to come back specially?" Zhu Mengcon beside him also asked curiously. The prince could not leave the fiefdom without authorization. This was the rule set by Old Zhu himself. Zhu Zhen could only leave Wuchang when he led his troops to fight and was in charge of military orders. He could only wander around Wuchang City at other times.

"Well..." Zhu Biao smiled mysteriously, then deliberately kept it in a silence, "Let your father tell you later. After all, your father has spent a lot of effort on this matter, and there must be a lot of words to remind you!"

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't say anything, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Mengcon and his son couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, but they didn't want to ask anymore, so they had to suppress the curiosity in their hearts and think about entering the palace as soon as possible to see Lao Zhu to ask clearly.

Zhu Biao also changed the topic at this time and asked about Zhu Zhen and his friends' life in Wuchang over the past few years, as well as their experiences on the road. Zhu Zhen also answered one by one.

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhen is nine years younger than Zhu Biao. By the time he was sensible, Zhu Biao was almost adult and began to help Lao Zhu share some affairs. Therefore, the two brothers did not spend much time together, so in comparison, the relationship between Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhen was far less than that between him and Zhu Cheng and Zhu Di.

Soon the carriage entered the imperial city, and Zhu Biao also took Zhu Zhen and his son out of the car, and then Li Jie accompanied them. The four of them came to the warm room. As soon as they entered, they smelled the fragrance of food. Li Jie thought that Lao Zhu was having a meal, but when he went in, he found that there were even a set of tables and chairs in the warm room, and there were sumptuous meals on the table.

"Greetings to Father, Grandpa!" When Zhu Zhen and his son saw Lao Zhu sitting on the chair, they immediately stepped forward and bowed. Zhu Mengcun did not forget to secretly look at Lao Zhu when he bowed. He had only met Lao Zhu when he was a child, and now he almost forgot what Lao Zhu looks like.

"Get up, I haven't eaten yet. I have someone prepared the meal. You guys will accompany me to have something!" Old Zhu waved his hand.

"Thank you, Father!" Zhu Zhen was also a little flattered when he heard this. Although he was a prince, he rarely had the opportunity to have dinner with Lao Zhu. At most, during festivals, the whole family gathered together to have a meal, but Lao Zhu was sitting high in the hall at that time. Sometimes Zhu Zhen couldn't see Lao Zhu's face clearly. It was the first time he remembered that he sat together to eat like now.

"Okay, let's have a meal together and be polite. Meng Cang sit next to me!" Lao Zhu said and pulled Zhu Meng Cang to sit down, which surprised Zhu Meng Cang, but then sat down happily. After all, Lao Zhu has too many grandsons, and not everyone has the chance to sit next to Lao Zhu.

I saw Lao Zhu also looked at Zhu Mengxiang's grandson, then suddenly smiled and said, "Mengxiang, is there fun in Songjiang?"

"It's fun! Uh..." Zhu Mengguang replied casually, but then he realized that he immediately became a little at a loss.

Zhu Zhen, who had just sat down, was also startled and stood up again to apologize. As a result, Lao Zhu glared at him and said, "Don't say anything. I just said I wouldn't let you leave the fiefdom, and I didn't let Meng Xiang and the others leave the fiefdom. Moreover, it is a good thing for young people to go out to have a long experience!"
