After Lao Zhu sent Qi Tai away, his inner excitement could not calm down for a long time, and he even murmured to himself.

"God bless the Ming Dynasty, God bless the Ming Dynasty!"

When Erhu heard Lao Zhu's excited words, his heart was equally excited. This proved that His Majesty was not only dissatisfied with the emperor's eldest grandson, but also liked the second emperor's grandson more.

In fact, Lao Zhu did not like Zhu Yunwen very much.

First, this child is too weak, and his weakness is different from that of his father.

Zhu Biao is kind-hearted and appears weak, but he is strong in his heart. Zhu Yunwen is pure weakness, a kind of cowardice in his bones.

Second, this child has lost his responsibility.

Just looking at his attitude towards his own brother, we can imagine how he treats state affairs and how he treats the uncles.

Third, the child’s biological mother is still alive and in the prime of life.

There are precedents in history for people with the surname Lu to exercise power. If Zhu Yunwen was appointed, would it be necessary to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and remove the mother and leave the son?

As well as the old Huaixi gang who followed me to conquer the world, we have to pack them away before we die. Otherwise, Zhu Yunwen's soft temper will be bullied to death by these veterans.

The scourge of Lan Yu cannot be kept. Once he is kept, he can do such treacherous things as deposing and establishing the emperor!

But if Zhu Yunxi is replaced, all the above problems will disappear.

This child has a stubborn temper and will never let anyone manipulate him.

Not to mention that Mrs. Lu is just a stepmother, not even his biological uncles and grandparents can even think of influencing him in the slightest!

It's just that the child is still too young and has a weak body, so he can't always make up his mind.

If, like his brother and his father, one died young and the other died young, who could bear it...

Therefore, he wanted to wait until Zhu Yunxi was a few years older before establishing a heir apparent.

When Lao Zhu thought of this, he suddenly saw Erhu standing aside, and immediately felt a little guilty.

What we just said to ourselves were all heard by this guy, right?

"Ahem... Erhu, there are some things you should say and some things you shouldn't say. You know that, right?"

When Erhu heard this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we two tigers are loyal and will never do anything like cheating!"

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"It's a good idea that you have such a good intention, but we still have to remind you to stay away from the former military commanders in the future, especially stay away from the scourge of Lan Yu!"

"promise!"

"In this humble position, please remember His Majesty's teachings!"

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard Xu Xingzu's complaining voice coming from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, we can no longer do this job. You always have to give me more money..."

When Lao Zhu heard this voice, his brows suddenly furrowed.

What's going on with this old thing? Why is it becoming more and more out of shape?

"Bring him to see us!"

"Then you can go and do whatever you want. You don't have to stay here anymore."

"promise!"

Not long after, Xu Xingzu was brought in by Erhu, and he immediately cried to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, your grandson eats so much that the money you gave to the imperial kitchen is simply not enough!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he became even more displeased. He secretly wondered how old Zhu Yunxi was and how much he could eat. How could he exaggerate like this?

"My lord, you don't believe it?"

"Hmph!"

"Do you think we are three-year-old children?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the menu that His Highness, the Second Emperor's Grandson, just sent."

Lao Zhu impatiently took it and took a look. After just one glance, he was shocked by the densely packed dish names on it.

"so much?"

"There are probably hundreds of dishes at least. Even the officials at the banquet have never eaten so many dishes!"

"This handwriting..."

Lao Zhu also noticed Zhu Yunxi’s dog-like handwriting, and seeing the typos all over the article, his face darkened on the spot.

"Qi Tai is really right. This grandson really doesn't care about studying. Take a look at the writing. He has ruined such a good Chengxintang Golden Flower Jade Leaf Paper."

"I have to send someone to tell Qi Tai tomorrow. Don't worry about anything else. Let this grandson practice the calligraphy for us!"

Lao Zhu complained about Da Sun's word "dog crawling" and looked at the densely packed dish names again. He only took a breath after looking at a few.

"Oh, abalone, shark's fin, sea cucumber, bear paw, deer tail..."

"This grandson can do it. He can eat better than me who is the emperor!"

"Where did he hear the names of these dishes? Even our emperor has never heard of them. Could it be that the little nun-sun made them up?"

When Xu Xingzu heard this, he quickly shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, don't tell me that you haven't heard of them. Even though I have been cooking all my life, there are many names of dishes that I have never heard of."

"But one thing is certain, that is, these dish names are definitely not made up, they should all be true."

"We haven't heard of it, it's just that we are ignorant and have little knowledge..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he had a headache for no reason.

How old is this grandson? He knows how to pay attention to pomp and circumstance. If he becomes the emperor in the future, he will not be able to create a wine pond and meat forest!

No, this wind can't last long!

"Take out all the expensive dishes above and pick out a dozen common dishes. Give more chicken, duck, goose and mutton, and add bone soup for the kid. Just add more rice. Don't follow this.

Do whatever you want with this child’s temper!”

"Why!"

"With your Majesty's words, I will know what to do!"

…

Dinner time, Prince's Mansion, Zhu Yunxuan's courtyard.

Zhu Yunxuan was rubbing his buttocks while drooling over the braised chicken with sour bamboo shoots on the table.

However, just when he was about to move his chopsticks, he suddenly thought of someone.

A person who is the only one who doesn't laugh at himself when everyone else laughs at him.

A person who resolutely stood up and stood in front of him when everyone else was standing by and even his elder brother was unwilling to help him.

When Zhu Yunxuan thought of this, he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, covered the bowl with sour bamboo shoots and stewed chicken, and put it back into the food box.

After doing all this, Zhu Yunxi felt half distressed and half proud when he thought that his second brother would be so moved that he would cry to death when he saw that he was so kind to him, right?

I just want to move him, make him cry to death, and then let him continue to stand up for me in the future, la la la...

Zhu Yunxi carried a heavy food box to his second brother's courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, he threw the heavy food box in front of Zhu Yunxi.

"Zhu Yunxi, my mother-in-law made me stewed chicken with sour bamboo shoots again today. Unfortunately, I have a bad appetite. I thought it would be a waste to throw it away. Just eat it for me!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard this, he knew that his grandson was a cooked duck with a tough mouth.

Obviously he came here to thank me, but he had to say it as if he was giving alms.

"Would you like to stay and have some food too?"

When Zhu Yunzhen heard this, his face immediately became happy, but after he thought about his second brother's appetite, he felt that this bowl of stewed chicken was not enough for his second brother to eat alone, so he should not join in the fun.

"Oh, why are you so troublesome!"

"Didn't I just say that I have no appetite today, so I brought it to you."

Just as Zhu Yunxi was saying this, he suddenly heard the voice of a eunuch coming from outside the door.

"Your Highness Zhu Yunxi, can you pass on the dinner now?"

"Pass it on!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, a dozen eunuchs carrying food boxes filed in.

Plate after plate of delicious food was brought to the table. Every dish was more exquisite and several times more delicious than the stewed chicken he brought.

When Zhu Yunxuan saw this scene, his eyes immediately turned red, and he reached out to pick up the food box he had brought.

However, just as he was about to pick it up, he was held down by a hand.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunxi with a crying face, feeling that his heart was full of grievances.
