Early in the morning, His Highness King Yan excitedly entered the west room of Wan'an Palace and lifted the bed for Lao Liu.
"Get up, get up!"
"Hi, Zhu Di." Zhu Zhen raised his two middle fingers depressedly, finally able to sleep in, but then couldn't.
"How many times have I told you to call me Fourth Brother!" King Yan squeezed his face into a persimmon cake.
"Si Guoyi..."
"Qiu, you're full of nonsense." Zhu Di still felt weird, but he didn't care about that much anymore. He couldn't help but help the palace maid dress Zhu Zhen, and then pulled him and ran out.
"I haven't had my breakfast yet."
"I told the queen, let's go out to eat!" Zhu Di was so excited that he couldn't hold back the eight cows and said, "My nephew, please treat us to a good meal!"
"Go, son." When passing by the main hall, Concubine Chong waved and said: "You two can let go and have fun, go and drink like a man, and just come back in front of the palace gate!"
"Your Majesty, is it appropriate to say this?" Miao Shanggong said depressedly, "You can't force your own hobbies on your children."
"Oh, you know how to lecture me. I can't get out of the palace. Isn't it enough to satisfy my cravings?" The empress grabbed the veil and said aggrievedly, "I can't do it anymore. I have to drink a cup to drown my sorrows."
"You're just looking for an excuse to drink!" Miao Shanggong was so angry that he turned into a complainer.

In order to conceal themselves from others, the two of them changed into cloth before leaving the palace, then got into a carriage and arrived at the gate of Donghua.
"Fourth brother, why are you so skilled?" On the carriage, Zhu Zhen asked curiously: "How many times have you and your eldest cousin gone out secretly?"
"You are so smart." Zhu Di chuckled and said, "I have tried many times, but not many successes."
The reason is very simple. The imperial guards at the door are strictly guarding. Even if there is a handwriting from the prince and a badge to leave the palace, they still check the vehicle meticulously and verify the identity. They will only let it go if there are no problems.
This made Zhu Zhen sigh. He thought of the attack on the cascade two hundred years later and the Tianli Sect uprising in the Qing Dynasty. If the imperial guards in the palace were as responsible as they are now, this would definitely not have happened.
The vigorous atmosphere of the founding of the People's Republic of China is completely different from the absurd and outrageous scene of the end of the world...
~~
After leaving the palace smoothly, Zhu Di pulled Zhu Zhen out of the carriage.
A larger and more luxurious carriage had been waiting by the roadside for a long time. Li Jinglong stuck his head out and waved: "Come on, come on."
The carriage picked up the two of them and drove away, heading straight to Sun Chu Restaurant on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
"This restaurant is not ordinary.'" Li Jinglong took the two of them out of the car, waved his hand to signal the greeters not to come forward, and he personally led the two of them up the steps.
Li Jinglong is about the same age and height as Zhu Di, but he has handsome eyebrows, fair skin and beautiful appearance, and his manners are even more elegant and gentle. Paired with the well-cut moon-white dark flower skirt and the green jade pendant around his waist, he looks very handsome.
Get rid of a beautiful young man in troubled times.
"'Yesterday I played with the moon in the west city, and the jade hook hung from the blue sky. I sold Jinling wine in the morning, and sang and sang at Sunchu Tower.' Have you heard of it? This is the restaurant that Li Taibai came to." Mr. Li smiled very knowledgeablely and said: "
Although we can’t see Li Taibai, we can still ‘Chaogu Jinling Wine’.”
"Okay, we need to find a singer to play the flute." Zhu Di nodded vigorously and drooled.
"Is this a poem by Li Taibai?" Zhu Zhen tilted his head and asked, "I don't study well, please don't fool me."
"Of course." Li Jinglong wanted to cover his mouth in frustration, but he didn't dare, so he could only say in a low voice: "Besides, don't call me cousin outside, or I won't take you out again."
"Oh, you know so much." Zhu Zhen said with a look of admiration: "By the way, what is the name of this poem? I have to write it down so I can brag about it later."
"Ah, what's the name of "Wanyue Jinling City West Sun Chu Restaurant, uncle is bragging, the sun is soft..." What's going on?" Li Jinglong immediately felt embarrassed. In fact, he was just pretending to be Boyi, how could he remember that?
Much.
Fortunately, the charming proprietress of the restaurant came in with a tray and helped him out.
"Hey, it's really my young master. This is the first time I've seen Xie come during the day." The landlady arranged the six snacks on the tray, and her delicate body was softly pressed against Li Jinglong's body.
Li Jinglong coughed awkwardly, distanced himself from her and said, "Mei Niang, you have a child."
"Oh, I didn't see it. I was just looking at the young man." The landlady quickly stood up straight and looked at the two people brought by the young man with a smile. She saw only a big black man in his fifteenth and sixteenth years and a man about ten years old.
Silly little fat man.
If they weren't following Li Jinglong, the security guard at the door wouldn't be able to let them in.
But it is obvious that the legitimate son of Cao Guogong can bring him breakfast early in the morning. It must be at least the two young marquises, right?
She was full of words of New Year greetings, coaxing Zhu Di to grin from ear to ear.
While serving the dishes, she made some insinuations to find out the identities of the two of them, but Zhu Di kept his mouth tight. He knew that if something happened in this big place in the capital, it would be reported to his father the next day. Seeing this, the landlady turned to Zhu Zhen and said to herself that the child could relax his mouth a little.
She really guessed it. Zhu Zhen blinked and said happily: "My father, Zhu Hongwu."
‘Pfft…’ Li Jinglong and Zhu Di sprayed wine at the same time.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." The landlady took out her handkerchief and wiped her face, and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect the young master to be so strict with his mouth."
"I don't believe it." Zhu Zhen curled his lips and said, "I'm hungry, can I start eating?"
"Eat, eat." Li Jinglong picked up two soup-filled crab roe buns and gave them one each.
When the two brothers tasted it, they were so delicious!
Then I opened my cheeks and ate without any distractions. I just felt that these exquisite breakfasts were full of color, flavor and flavor, and each one was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating.
Only then did Zhu Zhen realize that the Ming Dynasty also had delicious food. It didn’t mean that without technology and hard work, it would be as bland and tasteless as the food in the palace, leaving people full but unable to eat well.
Seeing the two brothers' uncomplimentary eating looks, the landlady secretly complained, thinking about my father Zhu Hongwu. What has Prince Ming never eaten or seen? He is a majestic prince. He looks like you two country bumpkins and has never seen the world.
What does it look like?
She was not interested in accompanying him anymore, so she found an excuse and went out.
The two of them didn't care about her at all. After eating and drinking, Zhu Di picked his teeth and burped: "Do you know why I brought you out?"
"Yeah. It's delicious." Zhu Zhen nodded vigorously and continued to stuff it into his mouth. He felt that he could still eat some.
"Where are we now? There's a lot of fun ahead." Li Jinglong said proudly.
Fortunately, Zhu Di was quite reliable. He glanced at Zhu Zhen and said, "But don't go to those places where your children live. Later, someone will take you to the temple fair and buy candied haws."
"Fourth brother, have you forgotten what we came out to do?" Zhu Zhen couldn't help but ask.
"I came out to play." Zhu Di wiped his mouth and said, "No, you don't really want to see Mr. Liu, do you?"
"Ah." Zhu Zhen nodded.
"Hey, I thought you were just like me." Zhu Di hissed: "It's all in vain. Why waste your time?"
"Brother will be angry." Zhu Zhen said.
"Alas." Zhu Di said helplessly, "Okay, okay. Let's digest the food and go to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion."
He added another condition: "As agreed, we can go and have a look and then leave, and you are not allowed to follow me in the afternoon."
