Moreover, the young eunuch only helped deliver the goods, so it was a bit unfair to take the blame. Besides, this young eunuch belonged to Zhu Biao's palace, so if he was asked to take the blame, Zhu Biao couldn't explain clearly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was reminded, and after thinking for a while he said to Erhu: "Let's find out who sent this ruler to the palace today. We must find out to the end."
Zhu Bai tilted his head and looked at the ruler still lying on the ground: it felt familiar to him from just now.
Said to Fugui: "Pick up that ruler and show it to me."
Immediately a little eunuch ran over, picked it up and handed it to Fugui.
Zhu Bai took it and looked at it. It was printed with "Made by the Prince of Xiang himself, the same model used by the emperor." He laughed angrily: Damn, wasn't it me who made the copper ruler that I bought in the classics bookstore?
It's simply a naked satire on me.
Fortunately, it hit me.
If I hit Zhu Biao, Lao Zhu would think it was me who was naughty and replaced Li Xiyan's ruler.
At that time, I was so speechless that I couldn’t explain it clearly.
Seeing those words, Zhu Biao also understood that they were directed at him and Zhu Bai, and pursed his lips.
------
In order to appear weak, Zhu Bai complained that he was dizzy, and Fugui finally carried him back to the palace.
There was silence all along the road to wealth.
Zhu Bai knew that he was also frightened, so he whispered: "I'm not hurt, I just don't want to go to school, I'm just pretending."
Fugui sighed: "Oh, Your Highness, don't blame the slaves for talking too much. You have been in many troubles since you were a child. You have been injured three or five times a month even if you say nothing. The slaves are afraid that one day you will be injured and the doctor will not be called.
Now that the emperor and the empress value you more and more, life is finally getting better, so you should take more care of yourself."
Firstly, this child was naughty, and secondly, because he was not favored, he was often bullied by his elder brother and other palace people, so he was often injured.
The last time Zhu Xiang and the others dared to slap Fugui in front of him, it explained everything.
And they did it so smoothly, it's definitely not the first time.
The other people in the palace were tormented and bullied a lot by Zhu Bai, and they could not help but resent Zhu Bai, so they ignored him and avoided him whenever possible.
Only wealth and honor will always accompany Zhu Bai and never leave him.
There is never love or hate without reason.
As soon as he came through, it was not without reason that he trusted Fugui so much.
Zhu Bai said: "Thank you, Fugui."
Fugui stiffened and whispered: "Your Highness, don't say that. I also have selfish motives. If Your Highness is not good, my servant will not get better either."
He knew best in his heart that everything he had done before was just to ensure that the young prince lived well. After all, if the young prince was alive, he would not be transferred to some clothing bureau to work as a coolie.
It doesn't matter how much you care, and how desperate you are.
Therefore, Zhu Bai's thanks were well deserved.
Moreover, after Zhu Bai recovered, he really had nothing to say to the people in his palace.
Zhu Bai said: "Don't worry. No one will dare to bully us again."
Fugui turned around and smiled: "No, our prince is studying with the prince now. Who dares to bully us?"
Zhu Bai asked: "Fugui, what is your real name? Where are you from?"
Fugui said: "The younger one is from the Hui ethnic group. His hometown is in Yunnan. His real name is Ma He, and his nickname is Sanbao."
Zhu Bai started up, stood up from Fugui and asked: "Wait a minute, what did you say your name was?"
Fugui: "Ma He."
Damn it, you are Zheng He.
Zheng He has been with me for so long, and I didn’t even know it.
I can't tell, you little eunuch...
Zhu Bai stared at Fugui with his mouth open and a dull look on his face.
Fugui was frightened by Zhu Bai's appearance and asked quickly: "Ah, Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Do you have a headache? You still feel nauseous and want to vomit."
Zhu Bai woke up from the shock and grinned: "Ah, no. Fugui, if you go to sea in the future, remember to take me with you."
Okay, why go to sea?
In addition to Guangdong, our Ming Dynasty also banned the sea.
Fugui couldn't laugh or cry, and coaxed Zhu Bai: "Okay, okay. Your Highness, please be honest. You can do whatever you want when you grow up."
-----
Back in the palace, Zhu Bai wanted to see the account book.
Being rich and powerful, he could only play counting coins in the side room.
It is said that Queen Ma is coming to visit.
Zhu Bai was driven back by Fugui and lay down pretending to be sick.
Queen Ma brought some snacks, said a few words of relief and left.
Then came Concubine Li Shu, Concubine Sun, and various concubines that Zhu Bai couldn't name and those he could name, coming in and out like a revolving door, making Zhu Bai feel dizzy.
They brought all kinds of gadgets and supplements, and the table was piled up.
Zhu Bai is a little funny.
Whether you are favored by Lao Zhu in the palace or not can be seen at a glance.
He fell down before, and no one told Lao Zhu until he died.
At this moment, he had scratches on his skin as if he had a terminal illness. Everyone came to see him, his eyes were red, he pretended to wipe away tears and sighed, making it look like he was distressed.
It’s really hilarious.
Concubine Hu Shun didn't come until there were fewer people at night.
She sat beside Zhu Bai's bed and said nothing, just looking at Zhu Bai blankly.
Zhu Bai was so frightened by the sight that he begged for mercy: "I was wrong, dear mother, I won't dare to do it again in the future."
Master Li went crazy and beat him today. He was originally a victim, but why did he end up with his mother and become a criminal?
Concubine Hu Shun sighed quietly: "You were born before you were full term, and you were as thin as a monkey. I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to raise you. But it turned out that you were more naughty than the other brothers, which made me worried day and night.
.That time you fell from the crabapple tree and your body was cold. At that time, I thought, it’s okay, I don’t have to worry about you in the future. When you are buried, I will accompany you to save you from being alone at such a young age.
I was alone on the road. But you came back to life again, as if you were a new person, very sensible. I thought God had finally taken pity on me. But you..."
She choked up and couldn't speak anymore.
In the end, Zhu Bai just changed his way of committing suicide.
In the past, I played with myself to death, but now I play with others and provoke others to take action.
In fact, the results are the same.
Zhu Bai said: "Mom, don't worry. I won't be in danger. It was really just a scratch today. I didn't want to go to school, so I pretended to be beaten very badly."
Concubine Hu Shun shook her head and sighed: "Mom, I don't want you to be rich. I just want you to grow up in peace and be a leisurely prince."
She is indeed my mother. Even her thoughts are the same.
Zhu Bai sighed secretly and grabbed Concubine Hu Shun's hand: "I think so too."
Concubine Hu Shun: "You are going to Changsha to be an idle prince, and you also have to go to school to make your father think that you can govern the vassal country. You can't hang around in the palace all your life."
Zhu Bai really felt like he had a headache at this moment, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, okay, can't I go to school well?"
Achilles heel!
Concubine Hu Shun is my Achilles heel!
-----
After that day, Lao Zhu's attitude towards Zhu Bai changed a lot. Not only did he let Zhu Bai have a good rest for a few days, he also told Liu Bowen and the others: If Zhu Bai is willing to listen, just listen. If he doesn't want to listen, don't force him. As long as he can come and sit for a while every day, it will be fine.
