The next morning.

Before Zhu Yunxi could wake up, he was shaken awake by San Dezi.

"Your Highness, get up quickly, today is the day of His Royal Highness's funeral!"

"oh……"

Zhu Yunxi got up in confusion, washed up, put on his plain clothes, put on his filial hat, and went to the front hall to take a nap against the pillars.

He had already inquired about it. His Royal Highness's funeral ceremony was troublesome. It would be quick to start at six in the morning.

Zhu Yunxi can take a nap, but Zhu Yunwen cannot.

Early in the morning, he was given instructions by his mother-in-law on how to behave and how to cry. At the end of the day, he was given a handkerchief soaked in ginger juice and told to put it in his sleeve for emergencies.

In fact, Ms. Lu did look down on Zhu Yunwen a little. Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to say anything else, and it was easy to cry if he wanted to.

After all, unlike some rebellious son who takes a nap against a pillar, he has true feelings for his father.

While they were busy in the mourning hall, the courtiers, dignitaries and relatives outside also arranged their positions.

Last night, the Ministry of Rites sent someone overnight to inform them of today's itinerary. After learning that the funeral would be carried out on foot, every minister ate something good and secretly hid some pastries, cucumbers and the like in their sleeves for convenience on the road.

Pad it, pad it.

Lan Yu stood in the pile of generals, ranked third.

He looked at Feng Sheng and Fu Youde who were in front of him, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

You two old men, I will let you be proud for a few more days. When the superiors establish the position of our nephew and grandson's heir, we will be better off.

The conflict between Lan Yu and the two of them was simply because he was so full that he had nothing to do.

He always feels that he has made more merit and should be named the Crown Prince and Grand Master. How can he succumb to these two idiots?

Because of this, he was even scolded by Lao Zhu, but he still did not repent.

Taking advantage of his status as the prince's uncle, he repeatedly disrespected Fu Youde and Feng Sheng.

Now that the prince passed away suddenly, it not only gave him a blow in the head, but also disrupted his pretentious rhythm, making him unconsciously turn his tail between his legs.

Lan Yu had a temper that couldn't wait any longer. When he saw the ceremony officer gesticulating, he quietly approached him.

Just as the courtesy officer was about to reprimand him, he saw Lan Yu reaching out her hand enthusiastically and taking his hand. Then she felt her sleeves sink, as if something heavy had been stuffed into her.

Sapphire's generosity is well-known in the capital, and every time it is sold, it is golden beans, golden leaves, etc.

Small in size, high in value, easy to hide and carry, it is simply the best choice for bringing people closer together.

When the courtesy officer thought of this, he looked at Lan Yu's face and his expression was as warm as the spring breeze.

"Why did Duke Liang go out? This is against the rules!"

"Go back quickly before His Majesty comes, and I will pretend you didn't see me!"

When Lan Yu heard this, instead of going back, she took the official to the corner.

"Little sir, we have nothing to do. I just want to ask who is throwing the brazier and throwing flags today."

When the courtesy officer heard this, he was relieved.

This matter is not a secret, not to mention that the ceremony will be held soon, so naturally everyone will know by then.

"Do you still need to ask? Of course it is His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun?"

When Lan Yu heard this, she felt a bit harsh.

"Where did the emperor's eldest grandson come from? Didn't the emperor's eldest grandson die ten years ago?"

When the ceremony officer heard this, he immediately woke up. Some time ago, His Majesty had asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare a ceremony to commemorate the emperor's eldest grandson, King Yu. It can be seen that His Majesty was not very satisfied with the title of "the emperor's eldest grandson".

It’s just that after so many years of being smooth-talking, I felt a little stiff for a while.

"The official made a mistake!"

"Although the emperor's eldest grandson has died, His Royal Highness Yunwen, the second grandson of the emperor, is the oldest among the prince's sons. He should be the one to take charge of this matter."

"oh?"

Lan Yu looked dissatisfied when she heard this.

"Are you sure?"

The ceremony officer immediately opened the ceremony, turned to the page about throwing braziers and carrying flags, and pointed to a line of small characters on it.

"Please take a look, Duke Liang. This is the ceremonial process issued by our Ministry of Ceremonies. It clearly says that Zhu Yunwen, the second grandson of the emperor, will be the officiant!"

Lan Yu really stretched her neck to take a look, and when she saw that it was exactly as the courtesy officer said, she immediately pulled down her old face.

What does "Butcher Zhu" mean? Didn't we agree at the Prince's Mansion last time that Zhu Yunxi would be the heir?

Since Zhu Yunxi was to be established, how could he leave the important tasks of throwing the brazier and carrying the flags to a concubine?

When Lan Yu was thinking this, he happened to see Zhu Yunxi walking out of the hall. He saw his nephew's aggrieved look, and his eyes turned red with distress.

"Zhu Yunxi!"

Zhu Yunxi had woken up from peeing, and was looking for the toilet with a frown on his face. In Lan Yu's eyes, he felt aggrieved.

"Huh?"

"Uncle Lan!"

Lan Yu strode to her nephew, pinched her chubby little face, and said with firm eyes.

"Don't worry, nephew, my uncle and grandpa can't let you suffer the slightest injustice even if they risk their lives!"

Zhu Yunxi had been feeling wronged these days, and when he suddenly heard such thoughtful words, he immediately gave Lan Yu a hug.

"Uncle, my grandson will be counting on you from now on, woo woo woo..."

When Lan Yu heard this, her already red eyes immediately burst into tears.

This child must have suffered a lot, otherwise why would he be so emotional?

"child!"

"As long as my great-uncle is here, no one can take it away from you!"

At this moment, the sound of His Majesty's arrival was heard in the distance. When Zhu Yunxi heard the sound, he urinated urgently and quickly let go of Lan Yu.

"Uncle, you are busy first, I will go to the backyard to relieve myself!"

Lan Yu waved her hands after hearing this.

"Go for it!"

"Grandpa, I'm going to meet Your Majesty right now and get your things back!"

Zhu Yunxi was really moved when he heard this. At this moment, he suddenly felt that it felt so good to be protected by his mother's family.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"But you don't have to be too insistent. If Grandpa Huang really doesn't like me, just give up. But don't make the old man angry. He can beat people very harshly..."

Seeing that her nephew and grandson were so wronged, Lan Yu didn't forget to comfort herself, which made her heart so distressed that it almost broke.

"It's okay...your uncle and grandpa know what's going on, so you don't need to worry, wuwuwu..."

Seeing what Lan Yu said, Zhu Yunxi stopped trying to persuade him and hurriedly ran to the backyard to pee. While peeing, he fantasized that my great-uncle must have felt that he had been wronged in the palace and planned to let the emperor seal me out and become the king.

!

Hum!

At the critical moment, my mother’s family is still reliable!

Lan Yu wiped away her tears and saw that His Majesty's chariot was about to arrive, so she hurried over and knelt on the roadside.

Lao Zhu was already a little dissatisfied when he saw Lan Yu wandering around like a street kid. Now that he saw him blocking his way, he felt even more unhappy.

"Dong Guo Liang, what do you mean?"

Blue jade tiger eyes looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with tears in their eyes.

"Your Excellency, I just want to ask you a question: Is Zhu Yunxi the legitimate son of the Prince's Mansion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he suddenly heard this. He secretly thought to himself, you are a doting concubine and a wife-killer. When did you fall in love with your legitimate son?

Is it okay for your legitimate son to still look after the ancestral home in your hometown?

"Of course!"

"The late Crown Princess Chang was the one who carried the sedan into the palace from Hongwu Gate. The child she gave birth to must be the legitimate son. Who dares to question it!"

When Lan Yu heard this, her heart suddenly warmed up. Although Zhu Butcher was ruthless, he treated his brother-in-law King Kaiping very kindly. Even after his brother-in-law passed away for so many years, he still took good care of the Chang family. Even his eldest nephew Chang Mao broke into the house.

The great disaster was not carried out in accordance with military law. He was simply deprived of his title and demoted to the local level as a commander of the capital.

Compared with other honors, it is not an exaggeration to say that this honor is profound.

"Then why does it say in the official ceremony that it was Zhu Yunwen who threw the brazier and raised the flags!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he looked puzzled and turned around to look at the two tigers beside him.

"We asked you to go to the Ministry of Etiquette yesterday, did you go or not?"

"Your Majesty, you have left your humble position, and you personally delivered your instructions to Minister Zhao!"
