Chapter 79 Grandpa doesn't like me(1/2)
As soon as Lao Zhu left, lunch was delivered to Zhu Yunxi from the imperial kitchen.
In addition to grabbing bear paws, abalone, etc. from the feudal king's mouth, there was also a freshly roasted and fragrant roast chicken and several plates of side dishes.
When Zhu Yunxi saw that the portion was much larger than usual, he immediately knew that it was specially arranged by Grandpa Xu, and he also brought out the portions of several little sisters.
Therefore, I specifically asked the young eunuch to convey his gratitude to me.
The four little girls didn't know the inside story. When they saw so many dishes, they thought they were for the third brother's health.
Even if the three older girls swallowed their saliva greedily, they tried their best not to look at it. Xiao Mingjuan, on the other hand, kept circling around the table heartlessly. Although she didn't say a word, all her thoughts were written on her face.
"Third brother, can you finish it by yourself?"
"Is it too much?"
Zhu Yunxi saw the little girl's expression and knew what she was thinking about, so he immediately replied with a smile.
"This little food is not enough for me to make ends meet!"
"oh……"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Xiao Mingjuan's face when he heard this, but this disappointment quickly turned into happiness.
"Third brother, how about I feed you, and then you give me a taste of that paw on the table... I'll just take a bite!"
Seeing how pitiful the little girl was speaking, Zhu Yunxi immediately stopped teasing her and greeted the other three sisters.
"Let's all eat together!"
Several little girls were very moved when they heard this, but they felt a little embarrassed when they thought that the third brother had been punished so severely for themselves and others.
"Third brother, isn't this bad?"
"We are here to take care of you. If we steal your lunch, my mother-in-law will scold us to death!"
"The imperial dining room sent us four sets of dishes. We obviously brought your share, so you don't have to be polite to me!"
When the little girls saw Zhu Yunxi saying this, they sat down on the table happily.
Xiao Mingyu completely forgot about what he had just said about feeding his third brother, and pierced the big paw on the table with a chopstick.
Zhu Mingyue hit Xiao Mingxuan's hand with chopsticks, then picked up the dishes, ordered each dish, picked up a bowl of rice and came to Zhu Yunxi's bed, feeding him one bite after another.
Zhu Yunxi was not polite. He really couldn't get up in his current state, so he could only lie down and eat.
However, Zhu Mingyue fed her too slowly, and in the end he still grabbed his job and started working on it himself.
While Zhu Yunxi was taking his sisters to lunch, his reputation for being brave enough to take risks, not afraid of power, and daring to think and do things was quietly spreading.
When the ministers outside the palace heard about this incident, they thought of a power conspiracy and thought it was a cover-up used by His Majesty the Emperor to protect the real heir.
When the concubines in the palace heard about this incident, they repeatedly lamented that the women in the Prince's Palace were lucky to have escaped with their lives in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.
If the person in the world knows Zhu Yuanzhang best, it must be his harem Fendai.
These harem fans know Lao Zhu to the extent that they know how many hairs he has on his body. Their true knowledge of Lao Zhu is far beyond the comparison of those ministers outside the palace.
In order to prevent scandals in the harem, Your Majesty will not even call the imperial doctor when someone in the palace is sick!
Even if a general concubine is sick, the illness can only be described by someone, and the Imperial Hospital will prescribe medicine according to the illness.
Of course, except those who are pregnant.
Therefore, when Lao Zhu's harem heard about Zhu Yunxi's false edict, they were all moved by the child's benevolence and righteousness.
After hearing that Zhu Yunxi was almost beaten to death by His Majesty because he offended His Majesty, the fans in the harem were even more compassionate and distressed.
For those concubines in the harem who have no heirs, you can give them a ring and I can help them with earrings.
Although none of them were rich, they couldn't bear the large number, so they quickly gathered a box full and asked the eunuchs in the palace to deliver it.
Those concubines who have children have a much easier time. Not only can they prepare gifts alone, they don't need to bother the eunuchs in the palace, they can just send their own children to deliver them.
On the one hand, this seems to be a harmonious royal family, with the elders and younger ones in order. On the other hand, it also seems low-key, so that no one will be caught trying to curry favor with the emperor's grandson.
Zhu Yunxi fell asleep in a daze after lunch. When he woke up, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
He saw that the room was crowded with princes and princesses who came to see his joke, which made him so angry that he almost kicked them out.
Didn't he just get beaten up? It made them happy, just like eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year!
"What are you doing here?"
When everyone heard Zhu Yunxi's angry question, they immediately smiled and said.
"Why else are we here? Of course we are here to visit our eldest nephew!"
"Come on, nephew, lift up the rag curtain on your butt and let your thirteenth uncle see how many flowers are blooming on your butt, hahaha!"
As Zhu Gui said this, he was about to remove the white cloth from Zhu Yunxi's buttocks, causing Zhu Yunxi to hide back in a hurry.
"Don't come over here. Come over here and I'll be in a hurry!"
Zhu Gui was just teasing his eldest nephew, but when he saw how embarrassed he was, he immediately withdrew his hand.
"Look at your stingy look, we are all your elders, look at your butt!"
"If you don't let me see it, will you take away all the gifts we brought?"
"Gift?"
When Zhu Yunxi heard about the gift, he immediately became interested and asked quickly.
"Uncle Thirteen, what gift did you bring me? Quickly take it out and show it to me!"
Zhu Gui chuckled.
"That's a lot!"
"My mother-in-law asked me to bring you a white jade pillow, an emerald cabbage, and a set of gold jewelry for you to use in your future marriage!"
"And my brother also asked me to bring you a gift for him, a bow and arrow for hunting, and a set of horse gear. But you don't need it now. You can't even get to the ground in ten days and a half, let alone
Talk about riding a horse, hahaha!"
"Finally, there is a big gift I gave you. It is not convenient to go into details. You can open it by yourself after we leave!"
When Zhu Gui said this, he lay down and whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear.
"But these are hardcover editions that Uncle Thirteen has collected for many years. Don't let me damage them. I plan to take them away when I leave the vassal state. Now I'm just lending them to you to relieve your boredom!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he guessed what it was. Maybe it was the pornographic book that this kid had accumulated for many years!
But this gift is indeed very satisfying, much better than that saddle.
After Zhu Gui, other princes and princesses also came up to give gifts. Most of them were ornaments, jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc., but they were not things that Zhu Yunxi was interested in. On the contrary, a large box sent by Eunuch Qin from the imperial prison suited him very well.
There are some gold and silver jewelry inside, as well as whole ingots of silver ingots.
As soon as Eunuch Qin saw the way Zhu Yunxi looked at the gifts, he knew that the high-ranking ladies in the harem were out of their minds. This third emperor's grandson didn't know anything about the goods!
Any piece of antiques prized by ladies can be exchanged for thousands of taels of silver.
The jade cabbage sent by Concubine Guo Hui was a treasure collected from the harem of the former Yuan Dynasty. If sold, it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver at least!
After the princes and princesses left, Zhu Yunxi struggled to get up from the bed. He touched the cabbage and the jade pillow for a while, then took a few silver ingots from the box and weighed them in his hands. His true nature as a money addict was clearly revealed.
The three virtues are called Khan.
"Your Highness, you are still injured now. You should take good care of it first. You can't throw these things away. You can look at them later!"
"hiss……"
Because Zhu Yunxi bent down to look for the golden beans in the box, he couldn't help but pull the wound, and he grimaced in pain.
But even so, he still insisted on picking out a few golden beans from the box, then holding them in his hands and weighing them for fun.
"Sandoku, why do you think they gave me gifts for no reason?"
"Is it because I was beaten?"
"That's not right. It's not the first time I've been beaten. It's just that this time it was a bit heavy."
San Dezi secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Your Highness, don't you think about who are the people giving the gifts?"
"Are you the concubine in the harem?"
"What's wrong? They are my grandmothers after all. Isn't it normal for a grandma to love her grandson?"
"Your Highness, I would like to say something disrespectful. Some of your grandmothers are not as old as His Highness Prince Yu..."
"Uh uh..."
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately understood that they had sympathy for each other!
Because according to Lao Zhu's age, he will definitely die before them, and they will inevitably be buried in the future.
What I did unintentionally today may anger Lao Zhu and the lawyer, but the concubines in the harem appreciate it very much. This is exactly the treatment they dream of!
When Zhu Yunxi thought of this, all the pride in his heart disappeared.
"Sandoku, please seal the box containing the harem members and find an opportunity to ask Eunuch Qin if you can send it back to them."
