Zhu Biao lowered his eyes: "My son is unfilial, and my mother is worried about him."
Did even Queen Ma sense the crisis?
Zhu Bai has a child's heart. No matter how much trouble he makes, he will ultimately do it for the good of the country and the country, and return to the point of supporting him.
But Zhu Di...
The older he gets, the less he understands Zhu Di.
Queen Ma knew that he understood and smiled: "You are tired too, go back and rest. Just remember what I told you today and don't tell anyone else."
Zhu Biao stood up and saluted Queen Ma: "I understand. Queen Ma, don't worry."
Zhu Ju, who had been playing with Zhu Biao's sleeves, suddenly asked: "Where is your father?"
Zhu Biao pinched her face and said, "I'm watching your twelfth brother write in the study."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the words written by Zhu Bai that were like ghostly peach charms.
Zhu Ju pouted: "It's Brother Twelve again. Father, I only play with Brother Twelve every day recently."

Zhu Bai was released from the imperial study by Zhu Yuanzhang and immediately ran to the military battle station.
The eunuchs are divided into four departments, eight bureaus and twelve eunuchs, for a total of twenty-four yamen.
His favorite places to stay are the Yinzuo Bureau and the Bingzhan Bureau.
The Military Warfare Bureau was in charge of the manufacture of all weapons, copper and ironware in the palace, and the Silver Works Bureau was in charge of the manufacture of all gold and silver utensils in the palace.
In fact, he wanted to see if he could spend a few years asking the Military and War Bureau to develop a small pistol for him to carry with him. If he really had to escape from the palace, he would also have a self-defense weapon.
A month ago, he drew a picture for Bingzhan Bureau and asked Bingzhan Bureau to make one according to it.
In the beginning, the military battle was just perfunctory with him and didn't take him seriously.
Now Zhu Baigan has accomplished several major events and has become a popular person around Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Bing Zhan Bureau's attitude towards him has made a 180-degree turn. In the past few days, it has "ding ding bang bang" helped him break out of his shell.
Today Zhu Bai is here to see the preliminary results.
The admiral eunuch of the Military War Bureau nodded and bowed: "His Royal Highness King Xiang, do you think this is okay?"
Zhu Bai took it in his hand and weighed it. It was too heavy, but it was good to be able to do this.
He could only remember a rough idea. He still had to think about it slowly and experiment with it. Let's take it back first and talk about it later.
Zhu Bai smiled at the admiral eunuch, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to him: "Thank you very much, father-in-law. I will take it back for fun first, and I will not trouble my father-in-law again if I have anything else."
Only if you are willing to give carrots will the horse be willing to run.
Although the money is not much, you still have to show your attitude: there are benefits to working for me.
The admiral eunuch smiled and saluted hurriedly: "Your Highness, you are welcome. If you have any problem, just come to see me."
After the admiral eunuch left, Zhu Bai sat under the tree in front of the war station and played with the barrel of the gun, wondering if today's blacksmiths could make the small parts inside...
Suddenly I felt someone beside me and turned around to meet a pair of round eyes.
Zhu Bai jumped up in fright, only to realize that it was a chubby little loli.
Whose child is this? Why did he get into the military battle in the palace?!
He turned around and looked around for the adults.
The little loli smiled: "What fun thing is Brother Twelve playing?"
Zhu Bai looked her up and down for a while, and then he recognized that she was Lao Zhu's daughter, Princess Shouchun, whose name was Zhu Ju.
The princesses all lived with their concubines.
And every time he went in and out of the concubines, he was in and out quickly, so he almost never interacted with Zhu Yuanzhang's daughters.
Besides, he has no intention of getting close to anyone in this palace, so he doesn't have to look back when he runs away in the future.
I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang doted on this little princess very much. He held it in his mouth for fear of melting and held it in his hands for fear of falling. She was a real treasure.
But gold branches, jade leaves, etc., are nothing to him.
He would not spoil her, nor would he have time to play in the mud with such a little brat.
He rolled his eyes and sat down, continuing to play with his things.
When Zhu Ju saw that Zhu Bai was ignoring her, she became more and more itchy and rushed to grab the things in his hand: "Let me play with it."
Zhu Bai ducked out of the way, but Zhu Ju jumped away and started crying: "Ah, you made me fall."
Zhu Ju walked away without hesitation.
Zhu Ju was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Just wait, I'm going to go to the father to sue you."
Zhu Bai thought it was funny: We are all children, no one is afraid of whom. When the time comes, you show off your charm, and I will fight mine, let’s see who Lao Zhu listens to!
-----
Zhu Bai went to Liu Bowen's class in the afternoon.
Liu Bowen said: "Today we will start talking about the art of war."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you want to learn the Book of Changes?"
Liu Bowen: "Study, do it alternately. You won't be able to remember so much at once. Besides, the art of war is more important."
Zhu Bai smacked his lips: After doing this for a long time, this magic stick has only now become serious. Were you just teasing me before?
Liu Bowen began to tell Zhu Bai about Sun Tzu's emphasis on leading troops to fight by "taking advantage of their tactics and seeking their emotions", and then talked about what the seven emotions are.
Zhu Bai listened with great interest, stopped dozing off, and stopped making trouble. Before he knew it, it was time to finish class.
Liu Bowen said: "Well, in fact, the art of war can not only be used on the battlefield, but also can be used in governing the country, running a family, and doing things in society. You are busy these days, so I won't come now. Come back in a month and give me a copy of how to use it.
Give me the discussion of the Seven Emotions in Managing the Army and Horses Division."
Zhu Bai immediately frowned and protested: "This piece of shit still has homework?!"
Liu Bowen sneered: "If you don't do your homework, Your Highness will just listen to the fun. What's the use?"
When Zhu Bai came out of Liu Bowen's place, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became: this guy had always been Zhu Biao's loyal dog, and he would not do anything that might enhance the competitiveness of other princes.
For example, in this case of food relief, he was obviously clearing obstacles for Zhu Biao, rectifying the court's agenda, and then reducing Li Shanchang's influence in the court.
So, how could such a shrewd guy, who has no profit and cannot afford to be early, suddenly be so kind to teach me the art of war and guide me in the management of the Military and Horse Department?!
Is it because Zhu Biao was not involved in the Military and Horse Division incident that Liu Bowen asked me to write a summary report so that Zhu Biao could take charge of the overall situation after reading the report?
Well, it's possible.
They entered the palace gate, and a young eunuch waiting by the door hurried over and whispered a few words in Fugui's ear.
Zhu Bai woke up from his meditation and asked: "What's wrong?"
Fugui said: "The emperor asked His Highness to go to the imperial study. Princess Shouchun is also there."
Zhu Bai understood immediately.
That little loli went to file a complaint.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask him to go over and teach him a lesson to make the princess happy.
Tsk tsk, Zhu Ju, it seems that if I don’t let you suffer, you will still pester me in the future.
Fugui said in a low voice: "The prince has to give in to the princess when he sees her. Your Highness will admit his mistake when he comes in, so that he will be less scolded."
These are the things that slaves like them should not talk about.
But the human heart is made of flesh, and Zhu Bai defended him, but he could not let Zhu Bai suffer.
Zhu Bai smiled: "Don't worry, no matter how favored she is, she is nothing to me."
Then he calmly walked into the imperial study room.
