Chapter 197 The king and the general play with the panda
The giant panda has a very docile temperament. When it sees a stranger, it will cover its face with its front paws and lower its head so as not to reveal its true face. It turns into a big round and furry ball.
"Isn't it cute?" Deng Duo said proudly while stroking its fleshy back neck, "Have you never seen it before?!"
"I've never seen one in my life." Zhu Zhen swallowed. He also wanted to pet a cat, but he didn't dare. Although a panda is called a panda, it is still a bear.
"It is the iron-eating beast in ancient books. It is also called Silver Dog or Bamboo Bear, but I call him Cat Bear." Deng Duo showed off. Seeing that Zhu Zhen's mouth was watering, he hurriedly said:
"But the meat doesn't taste good."
"Don't worry, even if I eat cows I don't dare to eat pandas." Zhu Zhen said speechlessly. This is a mark from the soul...
"That's good."
"Where did it come from?" King Chu asked again. The key was how to get it.
"This is what Yingchuan Hou led his army to invade Shu in the fourth year of Hongwu. A total of five were caught at that time." Deng Duo said even more proudly: "I dedicated one to the emperor, and Yingchuan Hou kept one for himself.
They raised one from my father, one from Jiang Xiahou, and one from Deqinghou. However, none of them kept it alive. Only the one I raised not only survived, but was also smooth and smooth."
"You mean I also have one at home?" Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"It seems like I can't even make a living." Deng Duo showed off, "I'm the only one in Nanjing!"
"Okay..." The light in Zhu Zhen's eyes dimmed, and he had to do the next best thing: "Can I touch it?"
Zhu Zhen finally couldn't resist the temptation and stretched out his hand to rub the panda's back.
"Is it cool?" Deng Duo asked proudly.
"Well..." Zhu Zhen closed his eyes with satisfaction. After a while, he asked more and more: "Can you take me back to the palace for two days?"
Note that "two" here is a function word.
"That won't work." Deng Duo hurriedly shook his head and said, "I only have this one end, and I can't get it anymore."
"I'll give you the Great Sage Pingtian to play with." Zhu Zhen said anxiously: "My cattle are walking in front of the emperor, and my father loves to play with them!"
"What, cow?" Deng Duo shook his head with disdain and said, "I don't care about it."
"Then in the future, if my second brother marries your sister, won't we be one family?" Zhu Zhen said persistently: "We are one family, so what are the differences between us?"
"Oh, I'm worried." Deng Duo shook his head and sighed:
"You don't know. When my eldest sister heard that she was going to be your second brother's second concubine, she went crazy on the spot. She smashed everything in my father's house."
After all, he was still a child, and he thought Lao Liu was a good person. He told Zhu Zhen about the family scandal and said:
"My father was so angry that he put my eldest sister in solitary confinement. Here is the embroidery building with the mother-in-law guarding the door."
Zhu Zhen nodded and looked at the embroidered building for a while, but didn't see anything special about it. Instead, he heard faint curses coming from the building...
"That's my sister scolding people. In the past two days, she has been scolding whoever she caught. Do you know that my father, my eldest brother and my second brother are not at home? It's because my eldest sister made me scared, so I went out to hide for a while."
"I understand." Zhu Zhen said with a shocked look on his face: "Is your sister unwilling to be my sister-in-law?"
"It's not that I don't want to be your sister-in-law. My sister said she would only be the main concubine. She is only willing to be your main sister-in-law and not willing to be your side sister-in-law." Deng Duo explained in a circle and got himself involved. Then he became discouraged. road:
"Hey, we kids shouldn't worry too much about adult matters. We should just concentrate on touching the pandas."
"What you said is wrong!" Zhu Zhen shook his head decisively and said:
"Xiang Huisheng became the teacher of Confucius at the age of seven, Ban Zhao was able to write history at the age of eight. Gan Luo became the prime minister at the age of twelve. You and I are both twelve years old this year, and one is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the official of the imperial court. It is the so-called state affairs. We care about everything at home and in the world! How can we turn a blind eye to the things around us?"
"What your Highness taught you is this." Deng Duo immediately felt ashamed and felt that his consciousness was too low and said: "State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, care about everything! I will keep this in mind!"
"Well, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good." Zhu Zhen nodded with a royal air.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Deng Duo asked as he geared up.
"Of course it's to solve a problem for the family." Zhu Zhen said: "Now your father, your brothers, and your eldest sister are all in pain, right?"
"Yeah." Deng Duo nodded heavily.
"How can we stop them from suffering?" Zhu Zhen said in a persuasive way.
"Just cancel the engagement." Deng Duo said but then scratched his head and said, "That won't work either. Now those uncles and uncles know that my sister is going to marry your second brother. At this time, my family doesn't dare to mention canceling the engagement."
"What about my family?"
"Then my family has been embarrassed. My father wants face the most, so he has to die in frustration?" Deng Duo said with a sad face.
Zhu Zhen glanced at him, but he didn't expect that this tough-minded guy had quite clear ideas. He wasn't that easy to fool...
"The current situation is called a dilemma." Wang then sighed.
"Yes, that's the situation." Deng Duo nodded vigorously, then scratched his head and said, "Should we advance or retreat? It's really a headache."
"There's no rush." Zhu Zhen said in a mature manner: "The one who predicts the enemy's opportunity first wins. Let's first figure out the real reason why your sister doesn't want to marry my brother."
"Didn't I say that she doesn't want to be a concubine?"
"Oh, you are childish." Wang said with a deep look on his face: "My child, when you grow up, you must be careful about women lying to you. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie to others."
"Really? My eldest sister is so beautiful." Deng Duo opened his mouth and said, "Then isn't she a big liar?"
"Liars don't lie to everyone." Wang added: "In short, women are the most duplicitous. The excuses she talks about are often not the real reasons in her heart."
"Wow, that makes sense." Deng Duo said with admiration on his face: "Your Highness, you understand women so well."
"That's right." Zhu Zhen said with a proud smile: "Anyway, you should secretly watch your sister first, and don't let her do stupid things."
"Will she still do stupid things?"
"If a person is cornered, he can do anything." Zhu Zhen patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "General, the task of protecting your sister falls on your shoulders."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Deng Duo hurriedly raised his head and said, "I will fight to the death to complete the mission!"
"Okay, let's keep in touch at any time." Zhu Zhen nodded, but still couldn't help but said: "In order for you to concentrate on protecting your sister, I will raise this panda for you for two days."
"Yes... no!" Deng Duo woke up in time and said, "Only this matter cannot be discussed."
"Hey, you stingy one." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to return to the palace with Wang Zhi's regret.
If you don't leave, the palace door will be locked...
