First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao sighed, this is really facing his darkest thoughts, even if it is his own son, Zhu Biao is very resistant now.

It may also have something to do with his age, after all, he has never reached the stage of having children in his two lifetimes, Zhu Biao shook his head, stood up and went back to sleep.

Zhu Biao got up early the next morning to dress and eat, and Liu Jin came back after a while. After serving Zhu Biao, Liu Jin brought warm water to rinse his mouth and said, "The servant went to the harem to give gifts early in the morning, and the sage is also here. The second prince was very happy after receiving the gift from His Highness, and said that he would thank you very much tonight, the Holy Majesty didn't say anything, but the servant looked at the Holy Majesty very satisfied."

Zhu Biao nodded, what a surprise he didn't need to do, as long as it was smooth and steady, it was also in line with the rules.

The birthdays of the princes are not a big deal, even Zhu Biao's birthday is the same. It has never been a big event, let alone the rest of the people. At this time, only Zhu Yuanzhang's Longevity Day will be a big event.

The birthday princes usually have a meal with their biological mother in the morning, a meal at Kunning Palace at noon, and a meal with their younger brothers in the evening. Whether Zhu Yuanzhang participates or not depends on his mood.

Now Zhu Biao is not in charge of the imperial examination. Li Shanchang did not show up, so these scholars can only go to see Song Lian, the chief examiner, which is no different from worshiping Zhu Biao.

The rest of the things were also arranged. Zhu Biao had nothing to do before his wedding, so he had no choice but to continue to study the map he had drawn.

At noon, Liu Jin came over to remind Zhu Biao that it was time to go to Kunning Palace, and the queen was the real aunt of the princes, so she wanted to celebrate their birthdays.

Zhu Biao left for the Kunning Palace. When he arrived, the hall was already full of people, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not there. It seemed that he was discussing with the ministers about the matter of spreading the income.

When Zhu Biao stepped into the hall, everyone in the hall stood up and saluted except Empress Ma. They didn’t move too much. After all, this was a family feast. Zhu Biao nodded with a smile on his face, asked them to sit down, and walked to his seat. down.

After Zhu Biao sat down, he realized that there were more and more people attending the family banquet. Before he knew it, the Zhu family was already very big. Zhu Biao now had eight younger brothers and seven younger sisters, and the youngest two were born this year. , is still in the swaddling baby of their mother and concubine.

Empress Ma was actually very happy to see so many people, it was rare to have some fun, but she didn't care that her husband had so many women, after all, it was normal in this era.

Before the meal, Empress Ma smiled and congratulated Zhu Xi, congratulating him on being one year older. After Zhu Xi stood up and thanked him, the rest of the concubines and older brothers and sisters also offered their blessings.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's harem is still very peaceful. The concubines have long accepted their fate. The position of queen and prince cannot be shaken by them.

After an hour, everyone dispersed. Zhu Biao stayed in Kunning Palace to drink tea with his mother. Empress Ma was a little unhappy. Lao Zhu's ninth son.

He had some congenital deficiencies since he was born, and he has been suffering from minor ailments since he was raised so meticulously. The child who is only a few months old can't even drink soup and medicine, so he can only let the nanny drink the medicine and then breastfeed him.

Zhu Biao just took a look at it just now. The child is indeed on the verge of being unable to support him, but there is nothing he can do about it. Such a small child will be difficult to deal with even in later generations, let alone this era.

Zhu Biao looked at his mother, she was indeed worried about that child, even if it wasn't her own, but she seemed to be born with a maternal demeanor, empathy for other people's situation, and always so kind.

It is estimated that it is because of this characteristic that a hard-hearted tough guy like Zhu Yuanzhang loves him for a lifetime. Many people may not be able to do this by themselves, but it does not prevent him from liking such a person.

After a while, Empress Ma was going to take classmate Zhu Lu to take a nap. Zhu Biao said goodbye and left. On the way back, he somehow wanted to meet Chang Luohua.

When it was time to eat dinner, Zhu Biao changed into casual clothes and set off for the Chongyi Building. At the gate of the palace, he met the three brothers of the Zhu family, and then they got into the carriage together.

The Chongyi building has been taken down, there are dozens of people standing downstairs, all of them are young men in rich clothes, and the passing people stay away from them, for fear of bumping into these honorable children.

Standing at the forefront is Chang Mao, who told him that he will soon become the wife of His Highness the Crown Prince. Although Chang Yuchun voluntarily gave up a lot of power, anyone with a discerning eye can see that once there is a situation where a general is needed, Zhu Yuanzhang must have asked him to be in command.

Xu Yungong next to Chang Mao looked as usual. He knew his own ability and understood Chang Mao's ability. Although he was overwhelmed now, so what, His Royal Highness would not allow his relatives to be too powerful. Become the real minister of humerus of His Royal Highness.

Li Qi and Tang Ding stood aside calmly, and the rest of the honored children were discussing enthusiastically. They were also teenagers in their teens and twenties, and they had been trapped in the capital for too long. Enough is enough.

Now hearing the news from the princes that His Royal Highness is going to take them to Shanxi, this made them drink happily for several days, young people, they all want to prove themselves.

The dozens of people who came tonight are all the children of Marquis and above, and the rest are not qualified to attend the prince's banquet, and they are all eagerly waiting for the news at home.

Xu Yungong asked Chang Mao: "Have you made arrangements for the kitchen?"

Chang Mao nodded: "Don't worry, my father's army is watching all the process, and I ordered two servings of the dishes. After they come out of the oven, someone will try a random one to make sure everything is safe."

This made Xu Yungong feel relieved. Although Chang Mao was mainly in charge, if something happened to His Royal Highness, none of them would be able to escape.

After waiting for a while, they saw three carriages approaching. The first two jumped out of more than a dozen people, gestured to them, and then dispersed into Chongze Building. Xu Yungong and others naturally knew the identities of these people.

When the last carriage came to a steady stop, Liu Jin first jumped down to place a step stool, then Zhu Biao walked down wearing a black robe, and Zhu Xi and others behind him also came down one by one.

Changmao Xu Yungong led a group of people to salute Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao smiled and asked them to stand up, and there were many passing people watching outside.

Zhu Biao was surrounded by stars and entered Chongze Tower, and Zhu Xi was a little upset at this time. It was obviously his birthday, but the protagonist was the eldest brother, and he built the steps himself.

But there is no other way, if the eldest brother doesn't come, it would be nice if some of these honorable children can come to support him, and they will inevitably have a meal of family law when they go back.
