Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew what he meant and said, "Go get your bowls and chopsticks."
Zhu Bai chuckled: "Okay." Then he took his own chopsticks over.
According to the rules, he used gold chopsticks.
The gold chopsticks were heavy and the quail eggs were slippery.
He picked it up and down, and the egg kept spinning in the bowl.
Zhu Bai was so anxious that he scratched his head and ears.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing: "Look at you like that, I gave it all to you."
Zhu Bai was waiting for these words and took away the whole plate at once.
He neatly gave one to each of his brothers and sisters under the age of eight: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, each person only has one, and someone will rob him later."
Then all the children heard it and ate it in one bite without hesitation.
A quail egg went into my stomach in three or two bursts.
After eating, you are still not satisfied yet.
Zhu Bai asked: "Did you eat it?"
The other children nodded: "Eat."
"Brother Twelve, are there any more? One is too few."
Zhu Bai sighed: "It's over. We are all going to jail."
The other children looked confused: "Huh?"
Zhu Bai said: "Master Liu Bowen, do you know?"
Other kids: “Ang.”
Zhu Bai said gloomily: "He was caught in jail for using porcelain tableware. He was tortured every day. He was knocked unconscious and poured cold water on him. When he woke up, he was beaten again. His fingers were pinched and the tiger bench was so long and prickly.
With one stroke of the whip, even the leather and flesh will fall off."
The children were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Zhu Bai sighed: "You used my chopsticks and my father's plates, which is inconsistent with the grade. When my father finds out, he will put us all in prison."
"Wow." Zhu Tan opened her mouth and cried loudly.
Zhu Chun wanted to comfort him, but he started crying too.
Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking and chatting with Queen Ma and several beloved concubines here, happily.
Suddenly there was crying all over there.
Zhu Fan poked Zhu Xi with his elbow and said, "Old Twelve, I don't know what trouble you are making again."
Then the two of them laughed together.
Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Master Liu can be saved."
Zhu Xi asked: "Why."
Zhu Di smiled slightly but did not answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw Zhu Bai standing in the middle, surrounded by a circle of younger brothers, sisters and brothers crying, and his forehead and heart began to hurt.
This kid is so worried.
Don’t let me go even during the New Year and holidays.
Queen Ma quickly got up and went over to check.
Although the concubines here did not dare to get up, their eyes turned red because of their distress and they turned around.
When Zhu Bai saw Queen Ma coming, he wiped his eyes and pretended to cry: "Ooooooo, I don't want to go to jail."
Queen Ma asked softly: "What's wrong with the children..."
Then several children were whimpering and talking all over the place, talking incoherently about what had happened.
Queen Ma also stood there silently.
Lao Zhu arrested Liu Bowen for using tableware that was not in line with etiquette. She felt it was inappropriate, but she didn't know how to persuade him.
This is too much for emotion, but right for reason.
This moment is obviously a good opportunity to rescue Liu Bowen.
Although she didn't know whether Zhu Bai did it unintentionally or intentionally, she could just go with the flow.
Queen Ma also wiped away her tears and sighed: "Oh, how can this be good? I can't save you either."
Zhu Bai was secretly amused: Queen Ma was really smart. She immediately understood what I was going to do and started to assist me.
When several children saw Queen Ma saying this, they became even more frightened. Those who cried just now were crying more and more sadly, and those who had held back their tears just now started to cry too.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma passing by, the children did not stop but cried even harder. Even Queen Ma was wiping her tears and hurriedly came over and asked: "What happened?"
Queen Ma knelt down and said, "The children are still young. I beg the Emperor not to punish them, but to punish the concubine."
Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately when he looked at the plates and chopsticks on the table.
His cold eyes immediately turned to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai pursed his lips and blinked pitifully: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have eaten so much, violated etiquette, and dragged down my brothers and sisters."
You little bastard, what are you pretending to be?!
You know clearly that I cannot punish you for a few quail eggs!
Besides, I gave you the quail eggs. Do I want to punish myself as well?
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and forced out a smile: "This is a family banquet. Only family members are here. I forgive you."
Zhu Bai shook his head: "Father is the king of a country, and he must enforce the law impartially. Although my sons and ministers are your sons, they must not show favoritism."
You bastard, you have to go to jail and squat, right?
If it weren’t for the fact that you have attracted a few brothers and sisters, I would have asked you to accompany Liu Bowen!!
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his eyes were dizzy and he stared at Zhu Bai with murderous intent.
Zhu Biao hurriedly came over and knelt down: "Father, please calm down. My twelfth brother is still young, and besides, he only kindly distributed food to his brothers and sisters. I didn't expect to make such a big mistake."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao again, nodded and said with a half-smile: "It's you, right? It was you who planned it. Your twelfth brother only obeys your orders because you are the eldest brother."
When Zhu Fang and the others took a look, they caught up with Zhu Biao, and they all came over and knelt down.
"Father, calm down."
Empress Ma sobbed and begged: "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on me."
How come they are not mine anymore? I just said clearly that they would be forgiven and not guilty.
Zhu Bai, this little bastard, won’t give up today until he forces me to relent and let Liu Bowen go?
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips and looked at Zhu Bai with squinted eyes.
Zhu Bai sighed and said without thinking: "Actually, I wish you would kill him. If you kill him, I won't have to learn from him. But he is also a talent after all. It would be a pity to kill him for such a thing.
I will make people laugh from now on."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: Yes, if there is anyone in the world who hates Liu Bowen as much as I do, it must be Zhu Bai.
He tried his best to torment Liu Bowen every day, and even cursed Liu Bowen when he came back.
He is not doing it for himself, but for me.
Zhu Biao fell on the ground: "My father is wise and governs the country with benevolence. Naturally, he will not kill good officials for such a thing."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "That's all, that's all. From today on, in all family banquets in the Ming Dynasty, no outsiders will be present, and the expenses of officials can be lower than or not higher than the law. Liu Bowen will be released immediately and the official will be reinstated."
Zhu Biao kowtowed: "Thank you, Father, for I am truly an unparalleled wise master."
Others hurriedly followed suit and said: "Long live my emperor."
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "Everyone, get up and have a good family dinner. You made me cry, kneel and worship."
Zhu Bai stood up, looked at the empty plate, and fell into deep thought.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't read it, I've given the whole disc to you, it's gone."
Zhu Bai sighed: "I divided it too quickly just now, and I forgot to leave one for myself."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily: "Haha, I asked you to mess around. You deserve to starve."
He turned around and asked the imperial chef to prepare a large porcelain basin of quail eggs for Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai and his brothers and sisters had enough to eat.
