Zhu Tong thought for a while and said, "Yes, I saw Aunt Li and Princess Shouchun playing in the garden. They should have seen me too."
Zhu Di's heart sank: Then someone might have done it deliberately today. He wanted to harm both Zhu Bai and Zhu Xi. To harm Zhu Xi was to harm him.
Hope it's just a coincidence...
He sighed at Zhu Zhu: "Zhu, stop prescribing random medicines for people to take. Fortunately, nothing serious happened this time. Otherwise, my brother wouldn't be able to save you."
Zhu Ru whispered: "My twelfth brother is so thin, there must be worms in his stomach, so he should take some anthelmintics."
Zhu Bai returned to the palace, called everyone in the palace to the courtyard, and asked solemnly: "Who put Zhu Ju in today?"
An old palace maid who usually empties toilets and sweeps the floor knelt down with a bang: "Your Highness, atone for your sins. Aunt Li asked the old slave to talk, but the old slave did not expect that the princess would come in."
She was shaking into a ball and kept kowtowing.
What happened in Qianqing Palace just now has been spread in the palace.
Aunt Li was from Concubine Li Shu's hometown, and was personally selected by Empress Ma to serve Princess Shouchun. She was considered a prominent person in the palace.
Zhu Bai can slap Grandma Li in front of Queen Ma, which shows how powerful she is.
He was always laughing and joking in the palace, showing no formal appearance.
Everyone thought he was a talkative (easy to fool) kid, but today we really saw how powerful he is.
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "This is the first time. Since everyone does not know the seriousness, I will not hold anyone responsible. From now on, at least one person must guard the door when it is open. If someone does not ask for my permission again, Just let people in, Grandma Li is a role model. Do you understand?"
Originally, he thought that the palace was a place for rest and relaxation, so there was no need to get so tense and everyone was afraid of him.
Moreover, deep down in his heart, he still feels that it is only reasonable for all living beings to be equal.
When I looked at it today, it didn’t work.
Not to mention, when someone came in to give him some medicine, they said there were boxes of silver in his bedroom.
If anyone wants to come in, it's too insecure.
Therefore, we must establish authority and rules.
Everyone in the palace knelt down and kowtowed: "I understand."
Well, enough slaps, it’s time to give candy.
Zhu Bai softened his expression: "You all know my temper. I am young and have nothing to do with you. Since you are my people, you are my own. As long as you treat me, I will not treat you badly."
He had made a lot of money recently, so he rewarded them a lot.
They should know who is good to them.
The palace people replied again: "Your Highness, don't worry. Your servants don't dare to have second thoughts."
"The slaves will risk their lives for His Highness's sake."
Zhu Bai nodded slightly.
Although their words do not mean that they will always stand by him, it also shows that unless a new conflict of interest arises, they will still support him.
While he was talking, Lao Zhu asked someone to deliver a pill of anthelmintic medicine to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai thanked him with a smile, turned around and threw it into the toilet: "You are the only one who has worms in your stomach. Your whole family has worms in their stomachs. If I didn't want to waste my words, I wouldn't bother to talk about it."
-----
The Lantern Festival is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This is the only day during the Hongwu period that does not require a curfew.
Every year, Lao Zhu ordered people to put thousands of water lanterns in the Qinhuai River to demonstrate the national power of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Bai naturally didn't want to miss such a fun thing.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he could not be restrained, so he simply asked Zhu Di to go with him with a few guards. He also told people with too many eyes to not walk, but to go there by carriage and return by carriage, and they were not allowed to get off the car.
Zhu Bai had experienced the horror of crowds and riots, and knew that this was Lao Zhu's biggest concession, so he obeyed Lao Zhu's arrangements.
Moreover, if his sandalwood carriage inlaid with gold and jade is not used at this time, there will be no chance to show it off on weekdays.
Zhu Di rode in the same car with him, and after leaving the imperial city gate, he found that there were so many people.
On weekdays, the streets, which are deathly silent and dark once night falls, are lined with all kinds of lights. Almost all shops are open for business, and vendors line up on the streets, squeezing each other.
Someone by the river put carts of water lanterns into the river.
The water lanterns flowed down the river, and the lights illuminated both sides of the river as if it were daytime.
There are more pedestrians on both sides of the river than elsewhere, jostling and rubbing shoulders.
Let me go, this is the Ming Dynasty version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
Zhu Bai was so excited that he smacked his lips: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected, I can't hold it all in."
Zhu Di was very nervous: "Don't run around later."
Zhu Bai comforted him: "Fourth brother, don't worry."
"whee."
I seemed to hear someone laughing softly, and it sounded like a girl's voice.
Zhu Di and Zhu Bai stood there frozen, communicating silently with their eyes.
"Fuck, Zhu Di, did you hear that? Is this haunted?"
"I heard it too, in this carriage. Could it be that we are hallucinating?"
Zhu Baiqian swallowed, winked at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth brother, there are too many people, why don't we go back."
Zhu Di understood and nodded quickly: "Okay."
Then the soft blanket on the seat was lifted, and Zhu Ju came out: "Fourth brother, don't go back. I want to go play."
Zhu Di and Zhu Bai took a breath together.
Let me go, it’s this little devil.
Zhu Bai immediately put his head out and said, "Car driver, turn around."
Zhu Di: "Yes, go back."
Zhu Bai found out that he had a clue and could even do some business on the way.
Just like watching the lantern festival today, he definitely didn't just do it to watch the lanterns.
There is absolutely no limit to the red oranges you can buy.
Zhu Ju pouted: "I won't go back."
Zhu Bai's face wrinkled: "When did you get in?"
Zhu Ju: "While you are discussing whether to go from south to west or north to west."
Zhu Bai's eyelids twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I was distracted for just a moment. What a naughty kid."
Zhu Di couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you embarrassed to talk about others?"
If Zhu Bai had been honest, they wouldn't be here now.
The leader of the guards said: "Your Highness, there are too many people, we can't turn around, we can only move forward."
This is different from the last time when the victims rebelled. Last time they could draw their swords and fight their way out.
The sad thing is that this car is so big that it blocks the road when it stops.
But if the car hadn't been so big, I wouldn't have been able to hide from a child without even noticing.
Come all come...
Just walk around and go back quickly. As long as you don't get out of the car, you should be fine.
Zhu Di sighed: "Then let's go forward. Try to choose a street with fewer people."
Zhu Ju became excited, lying on the window, waving to the outside: "Hello, fellow villagers."
Zhu Bai: "..."
Zhu Ju: "Ah, that masked man looks so cute, Xiao Ju seems to want it."
Zhu Di: "Buy, buy, buy. Don't stretch out your hands."
Zhu Ju: "Brother Twelve. What is that?"
Zhu Bai: "Poison."
Zhu Ju: "Brother Twelve, you can't lie to children. Those are sugar paintings, right? Are the sugar paintings sweet? Xiao Ju has never tasted them. Xiao Ju wants to have a little bunny."
