Chapter 734 The division of the emperor's grandson
"That's right, you can't be nice to those officials, and you can't give them a good face. This time Biao'er finally looks like a prince, which is good!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud, with his legs crossed, not to mention how beautiful he was.
My son is decisive and strong, and has his own style. He has a sense of accomplishment even more than he does on his own.
Lao Zhu was so happy that he took Queen Ma and talked about the border patrol. He wanted to see the newly built Shanhaiguan Pass, visit the Great Wall, Gubeikou, Juyongguan, and by the way, he also wanted to go to the Gaoliang River. It is said that
By the Gaoliang River, a statue of a donkey cart running wildly has been built, which must be interesting.
What else could Empress Ma say, but she could only agree again and again. This silly donkey finally got over her feelings. After so many years of marriage, she had never gone out for fun!
It is indeed worth looking forward to.
But before leaving, there is one more important thing, "
"My daughter-in-law is about to give birth. This is our first grandchild. No matter what, we have to wait for the baby to be born before we can leave." Queen Ma said softly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply convinced and nodded immediately, "Yeah, I really didn't expect that we would be a grandfather too. Biao'er has achieved something. If this grandson also achieves something, there will be successors to our Zhu family, and we will have no regrets."
.”
Lao Zhu pondered slightly, and then said: "Sister, tell me, what is our in-laws and daughter-in-law like? Can you teach our grandson well?"
Queen Ma glared at him, "The child hasn't been born yet. Who knows if he is a grandson? Don't worry about your grandson's talk. If word gets out and the in-laws hear about it, it won't be good!"
Queen Ma paused for a moment, then said: "I heard something, but I don't know how to say it..."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Sister, you didn't hesitate when you slapped me, why can't you open your mouth now?"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes in anger, "That's our business, doesn't it involve outsiders?"
After a pause, Empress Ma said: "Chongba, it's like this. Our mother-in-law suffered a lot in the early years. Although she is not very old now, she is very old. There seems to be some estrangement between husband and wife, and they are often unhappy."
Chang Yuchun's wife, Lan Yu's sister, was quite old when Chang Yuchun rescued their siblings and got married.
Beauty ages easily. Even though she is the wife of a princess, Lan's family has not been so happy in recent years. She is getting older and older, and there seems to be some estrangement between her and Chang Yuchun.
As the children grew older, she became more and more empty.
All in all, when people reach middle age, everything is unsatisfactory.
Empress Ma sighed: "Women are bound to be like this all their lives. In fact, I can also see that our daughter-in-law has never left the east palace since she married Biao'er. There are many rules in the palace, and she can live a good life.
It’s not that satisfying. I see that the child is far less lively than before, and I feel very uncomfortable. Chongba, you said that we are a heavenly family, why is this the case?"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but frown. After a while, he murmured: "Sister, do you think we are too strict? Making everyone have a hard time?"
Queen Ma said with a sullen face: "You said this yourself!"
Lao Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was still his fault!
In fact, if you think about it, there is nothing difficult to understand.
Zhu Yuanzhang severely punished all officials. As the prince's father-in-law, Chang Yuchun naturally did not dare to do anything wrong. The atmosphere at home was not very good, so it was natural that his wife would be affected.
If the mother is like this, her daughter will not dare to offend her parents-in-law if she marries the prince.
Speaking of which, the position of Crown Princess is really not easy to fill.
Depressed, depressed, and trembling.
It is not surprising that over time, poor health will lead to disease.
There is nothing complicated about this matter.
The royal family is like this. The palace is deep and the rules are strict. Everyone is worried and depressed. How can there be time to really laugh?
Over time, who can help but develop some problems?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him, "Sister, this time, we have come up with a great idea, don't worry! I guarantee it will work!"
Queen Ma was slightly surprised and said, "Chongba, if you have any good ideas, please tell me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't be busy, you will know when we have made arrangements."
Even playing with the sense of mystery, Queen Ma snorted coldly. She didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang, a stupid donkey, could do anything! Anyway, just don't make it frightening!
The following days were uneventful.
Zhu Biao took over more and more government affairs, and handled things more concisely and brightly. Everyone in the court saw that this prince had finally matured.
As we watched, the day when the Crown Princess gave birth was getting closer and closer, and the East Palace became lively.
First, Chang Yuchun's wife, Lan, came to the East Palace to take care of her daughter.
This was normal, but what was unexpected was that Jiang Nan was also invited, and the matter instantly became interesting.
Jiang Nan is really not an outsider. In the early years, Lan Yu learned a lot from Zhang Ximeng. She regards Zhang Ximeng as her teacher. Jiang Nan is almost the master's wife. Lan is Lan Yu's sister. She is very close to Jiang Nan.
of.
On the other hand, Zhu Biao was Zhenger Ba Jing's disciple, and Crown Princess Chang also respected Jiang Nan.
Therefore, the two women were very polite to Jiang Nan and were very grateful to her for coming.
"Jiang Shangshu, although we are both women, there are huge differences between people. Now that you are in the position of Shangshu, assisting the country and governing the people, you have really given us women face. Unlike me, I can only stay at home.
Inside, if I hadn't come to take care of the girl, I might not even be able to get out of the door."
Lan took advantage of her break to talk to Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan had a smile on her face, but she didn't think too much.
"You can't say that. I am lucky enough to be in the position I am in now. People still look at the face of Prime Minister Zhang before giving me some face... But let me tell you, the one who can really win face for us women is Feng Girl.
, that kid is really awesome!”
Lan was very curious, "Who is Feng Yatou?"
"He is a student that Prime Minister Zhang accepted some time ago. After all, he is the junior sister of His Highness the Crown Prince, his own junior sister, and the only one who is recognized by Prime Minister Zhang as a serious student!"
Lan became more and more curious because she knew very well that there were more than tens of millions of people who wanted to be the disciples of Prime Minister Zhang. Among other things, her brother Lan Yu was the most enthusiastic one.
But I'm sorry, so far, there is still no hope.
It's really impressive that a little girl can win the favor of Prime Minister Zhang and become an official disciple.
"Jiang Shangshu, see if you can bring that child here later! Let me get to know him too!"
Jiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll pick her up when I'm not busy."
A few days later, Jiang Nan actually came with Xia Zhifeng.
A teenage child always looks the same every day. Xia Zhifeng is obviously starting to grow taller. She wears a light pink dress with no extra decorations. She is carrying a basket with hand-made dried meat in it.
A meeting gift for a visit to a senior brother’s house.
"Master Wife, are the rules in the East Palace very strict? If you say something wrong, you won't get punished, right?" Xia Zhifeng asked with a smile.
Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, "Young girl Feng! You are so good at arithmetic, but you are so confused about this matter! You are a serious student of Prime Minister Zhang, and you are a level above His Royal Highness in terms of discussion! I am like you
Tell me, even if you set fire to the East Palace, no one would dare to take care of it!"
Xia Zhifeng was quite surprised. She had obviously just made a joke casually, but Jiang Nan's words were not a joke.
As a sign of being a disciple of Zhang Xiang, the higher you get to the top, the more important you become aware of it.
There is no way. Zhang Ximeng has almost no desires or desires in many things. Starting from him, there is no hope of success.
Because of this, some people like to start with Zhang Shuning, but obviously, there is not much hope for that child.
As for Xia Zhifeng, as Zhang Ximeng's officially recognized disciple, if she could get to Zhang Ximeng through her, that would be the dream of many people.
It's just that most people have this intention, but don't have the courage. People like the Tang family in Jiangxi are simply ignorant and fearless, and seek death on their own.
Xia Zhifeng finally understood the importance of Zhang Xiang's disciples, but the little girl became more honest.
"Master Wife, please teach me more rules in the future. I'm afraid I'll embarrass my master."
Jiang Nan touched Xia Zhifeng's head and smiled broadly, "Okay, my wife will teach you! But you must also remember that in this Yingtian, we can walk sideways."
Xia Zhifeng stuck out her tongue again, forget it, she didn't want to be a crab.
While talking, they arrived at the East Palace.
Surprisingly, there were actually three people who greeted them, one was Queen Ma, one was Lan Shi, and the third one was the pregnant Crown Princess Chang Shi.
Together, these three people are almost the most distinguished women in the world today. They greeted them together, which made Jiang Nan a little surprised.
She hurriedly brought Xia Zhifeng over to see the gift. Empress Ma had already met Xia Zhifeng. She reached out and took Xia Zhifeng into her arms.
Then he said: "My mother-in-law, this is the Xia Zhifeng I told you, Feng girl! Mr. Zhang took the initiative to accept a good apprentice, not the kind of Zhu Biao who was forced on Mr. Zhang!"
Lan Shi looked at Xia Zhifeng and said with a smile: "I heard from Jiang Shangshu that this child is good-looking, handsome and full of talents. Could it be that he was born to a god?"
After Lan finished speaking, he asked his daughter to look at Xia Zhifeng again.
Mrs. Chang also smiled and greeted Xia Zhifeng.
Then these three people welcomed Xia Zhifeng and Jiang Nan in together.
Jiang Nan has already noticed that there is such a big display, there must be something going on!
Sure enough, Queen Ma said: "Girl Feng, I heard from Your Majesty that you calculated the recent Tengu eclipse in Qintian Prison. Is this the case?"
Xia Zhifeng nodded, "There is such a thing, but it was calculated by several gentlemen together. I just took a few steps and learned a lot of skills from them."
Empress Ma laughed heartily, "My mother-in-law, did you hear that? She can help the men in Qin Tian Prison!"
Lan quickly said: "Who says it's not the case? This girl is really amazing!"
At this point, the Crown Princess suddenly said: "Mother, look, the child in my belly will be born soon. At first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worshiped Mr. Zhang as his teacher. Now, can this child worship his junior sister as his teacher?
It can be considered as my father for the rest of my life."
Empress Ma nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "That's what I mean! But I still have to listen to what the girl wants!"
