After summoning the last minister, the afternoon work was over, and Boss Zhu and his son went about their daily routine as usual.
"Has the sixth mother returned to the palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the prince's tickling.
"Yes, I went back last night."
"Is she... okay?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked after hesitation.
"It's okay." Zhu Biao said softly.
"She... is still angry with me?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little embarrassed after asking, glared at his beloved eldest son and said, "Don't spread this nonsense!"
"According to the order." Zhu Biao chuckled and said, "It's the wrong person to ask your son about this kind of thing. Why don't you ask me, father?"
"Oh, actually we also know that the punishment at that time was a bit harsh." Boss Zhu felt itchy all over when he thought of the scene where Concubine Chong went crazy. "Put it on a little harder... With her temper, she can't do anything in person."
Is there a good one? Let’s wait for a while.”
He said defensively: "Besides, Concubine Sun's health is getting worse day by day, and we are not in the mood to coax her."
"In this situation, should the imperial concubine ask a medical officer to be on duty around the clock?" the prince suggested.
"Isn't it nonsense to let a man stay in the palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang said displeased.
"My son is talking about the female doctor." Zhu Biao hurriedly explained: "This was proposed by the Concubine Chong. She saw that the palace people in Nei'an Le Hall could not get treatment..."
He relayed what Zhu Zhen had said to his father, and added: "My son inquired about it and found that there are many women who are proficient in medical skills. In particular, female patients basically go to female doctors for surgery and gynecology." "The imperial court can select the best among them. No matter how good they are, those who are willing to join the palace as female officials will be fine. Even those who are unwilling to join the palace can also be recorded in the official register in preparation for recruitment."
"Well, yes, it's a good idea." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and immediately wrote down the edict. After putting down the pen, he said with great relief: "Boss, you have really grown up and are considerate of everything."
As he spoke, he patted his son's hand and said: "This will be the case from now on. If your father doesn't think carefully, just remind him. There is no need to be taboo."
"It was brought up by Concubine Chong." Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said, "My son just conveyed it."
"She? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I don't know her yet? She is good at wielding swords, guns, and drinking. How can she be so reliable in business?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head in disbelief.
"Did she say this herself?"
"It was relayed by Lao Liu." Zhu Biao said thoughtfully.
"That silly boy is even more impossible." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head habitually, paused, then looked back at Zhu Biao and said, "You seem to have praised Lao Liu several times recently. Could it be that that boy has really enlightened himself?"
"That's not true." Zhu Biao said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, Father, just take the exam yourself."
"Well, let's go back to the main hall and take a look at him." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"It would be better to go to Wan'an Palace alone." The prince advised: "After Lao Liu woke up, you haven't visited him yet."
"Are you minding my own business?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him.
"Dad, you just said there is no need to be taboo." Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said, "How can this fall out faster than turning over a book?"
"Alas, don't we feel sorry for those two women, so we have no shame to go?" Zhu Yuanzhang said sarcastically.
Zhu Biao raised his eyelids, curved his mouth corners, and put on an expression that wanted to be beaten, letting his father realize it for himself.
Seeing the eldest son's lack of respect, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hands in surrender and said: "Okay, okay, go ahead."
Zhu Biao then ordered the eunuch: "I'm telling you, my father will go to Wan'an Palace for dinner tonight."
"Qiu, did we say we were going to eat?" Zhu Yuanzhang was completely speechless.
~~
"What, my father is going to Wan'an Palace?"
After school, after hearing the good news brought by his eldest brother, His Highness King Chu almost peed his pants in surprise.
"Haha, is this even fake?" Zhu Biao touched his head and said, "Don't be afraid, my father won't test your homework."
"That's okay..." Zhu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. At present, in terms of study, he is still in the stage of 'catching no fish in the river - catching blind'.
"I won't scold you, so don't worry and go back." Zhu Biao carefully arranged his lapel, tied up a strand of his hair that was loose, and looked him up and down again. Only when there was nothing wrong did he let him go.
.
On the way back, Zhu Zhen deliberately took a long detour, first sending his two brothers back to the East Fifth Palace, and then back to the West Sixth Palace through the Imperial Garden.
Just to have more time to think clearly, how to face Lao Zhu?
He remembered someone saying that all problems in life are relationship problems. If you want to live well, you must handle all kinds of interpersonal relationships.
All kinds of interpersonal relationships are complicated, and problems will arise if any one of them is not handled well. That’s why people will live a tiring life and feel tired.
But as a prince, these are basically other people's problems, and there are far fewer interpersonal relationships that he needs to care about.
Just a few family members.
The most important of these, without a doubt, is the relationship with Boss Zhu.
Father, Father, is not only his father, but also his emperor. The master of his destiny, and his patron saint!
So how should we deal with the relationship with Boss Zhu?
Kneel down and lick it? Anyway, it’s not shameful for me to lick myself.
But that's not a good idea. As a result, there are too many people licking Boss Zhu. If they all lick, they won't lick at all, which is half the result with half the effort.
Secondly, according to what he learned, he was originally very stupid and couldn't beat a fart with eight sticks. If he turned too sharply, not only would he get into his waist, but it would also be counterproductive.
Because it is said that Boss Zhu can see through people's hearts and minds at a glance, and he can be moody or angry, so it's a good thing.
Finally, and most importantly, there is still a lot of resentment in the young man's heart...
~~
Zhu Zhen has probably figured out his current mental state.
To put it simply, one's own will can determine one's own words and deeds, but one's own will is inevitably influenced and even driven by the subconscious.
To give an inappropriate example, it’s like an alcoholic trying to quit drinking. He can’t just quit if he wants to, but he also has to fight against his mental dependence on alcohol.
Hey, why do you need to give an example of an alcoholic?
Zhu Zhen's subconscious is formed by the fusion of two selves. In terms of feelings for Boss Zhu, there is no doubt that the original young man takes the lead.
The resentment coming from the bottom of his heart prevented him from flattering Boss Zhu to his heart's content...
"Your Highness, we're home." Wang Defa's reminder sounded.
When Zhu Zhen raised his head, Wan'an Gate was indeed right in front of him.
He exhaled a long breath... No matter what, just do whatever you want!
You are still a child, how can you act like a fool with your father? Could it be that Boss Zhu could still carry his own son into the well?
His Highness King Chu’s heart has finally settled.
The security inside and outside Wan'an Palace was extremely tight today, and there were many new faces.
But His Highness the King of Chu didn't even look at it, and walked to the Wan'an Palace with the steps of disowning his relatives.
An old eunuch wearing a python suit came up to him with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold him, and was about to speak.
But Zhu Zhen shouted first: "I'm back! I'm starving to death..."
As he spoke, he reached out and pushed open the palace door, but the old eunuch didn't stop him.
Then, he was stunned by the scene in front of him——
I saw the legendary beggar king, the great eternal emperor, the invincible Terminator of Meng Yuan, the ruthless nemesis of corrupt officials, the terrifying demon of order, and His Majesty the Father whose authority cannot be challenged by anyone...
The mother-in-law was actually riding on her waist, holding her neck, pressing her to the ground, like a martial artist fighting a tiger...
