First Prince of Ming Dynasty

The three brothers walked out of the Hall of Martial Heroes together. Although it looked as if they were hand in hand, the three brothers still lagged slightly behind their elder brother deliberately. This is also a habit for many years.

These three moved out of the palace a long time ago. It was out of compliance with the rules. It was settled by Zhu Biao personally interceding with Lao Zhu. Otherwise, the princes would never leave the palace unless they got married and became vassals.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably still wanted Zhu Biao to be a good person, so he agreed, but every few days the three brothers had to enter the palace to receive the old Zhu's lectures, in case they went out to have fun outside their jobs.

In fact, they didn't dare, both inside and outside the palace were in the capital, how could they escape Lao Zhu's eyeliner, it was nothing more than freedom in comparison.

The three younger brothers waited all morning, and Zhu Biao, the eldest brother, naturally had to take care of the meal, so he led them back to the East Palace. After all, they were his own brothers, and there were not many taboos.

Liu Jin went a few steps in advance to make arrangements, and on the way, she took the trouble to answer the questions of the three brothers, focusing on the difficulties of the people in the disaster area in detail, and hoped that they would pay more attention to the poor people in the area in the future.

But after all, they are all young at heart, enjoying wealth and honor since childhood. After listening to what my elder brother said, the biggest reaction is resentment towards corrupt officials. It's almost there.

Zhu Biao has nothing to do about this, he can't just strip them naked and throw them into the disaster area to experience the suffering of the people's livelihood, not to mention that even if they experience it, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be able to love the people like children in the future.

There are also many corrupt officials in the DPRK, who are born in poverty, but these have not affected his corruption and acceptance of bribes. It is even because he knows the suffering of the people and the feeling of hunger and cold, so he is afraid of poverty and becomes more greedy.

Human nature is complex and changeable, and they are all independent individuals. It is so simple to change a person's mind. Zhu Biao led his three younger brothers to the main hall of the East Palace.

Chang Luohua got up to greet her with a full stomach. The three brothers always behaved well in front of their sister-in-law. After saluting, they greeted a few words respectfully. Chang Luohua replied with a smile, and then went to the other hall for dinner.

Not long after the four of them sat down, the maids and eunuchs began to set the table and serve dishes. There was a lot of wine and meat, but there were only six or seven dishes.

If Chang Luohua followed the meal, it would be much richer. After all, according to the proportions customized by Empress Ma, what Chang Luohua used for a meal was the best in the palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't compare.

After sitting at the wine table, Zhu Biao found that his younger brothers had indeed grown up gradually. Although they were still in their teens, their demeanor should not be underestimated. They were far more mature and generous than their peers in later generations.

Zhu Biao didn't drink much, and in the evening he had a banquet with a group of old foxes, mostly talking and laughing with his brothers, but he was much more relaxed and free from thinking too much all the time.

Those who drink well will naturally eat more dishes, and they are all half-sized. Fortunately, Chang Luohua also sent a few dishes from him, otherwise there would be almost enough food.

When they finished eating, Liu An and Zhao Huaian were leading people to carry boxes of things to the East Palace warehouse. The long line of people could not be forgotten at a glance, which showed how many boxes were being carried.

The three brothers looked at it curiously, and Zhu Xi asked first: "This is what the elder brother brought back from Shanxi and Gansu under escort. I really didn't expect to touch so much."

Zhu Bing also clicked his tongue and said: "Ordinary things are not worth bringing back by the elder brother. Those corrupt officials really searched a lot."

At this time, Qinglian also walked over timidly, kneeling down and saluting politely. The natural charm, innocence and soul-stirring, coupled with the delicate and completely different style of the Central Plains women's face made the three brothers dumbfounded.

Even Zhu Di, who has always been relatively silent, couldn't help but said: "Is this the Tingzhou woman that elder brother just said? She really is extraordinary."

The second child and the third child were also moved by the sight, thinking that they had to send someone to the west to look for it. This belonged to their elder brother, and they didn't dare to reach out to ask for it.

After getting along with each other for so many years, they also understand the character of their elder brother. The elder brother is not a stingy person, but he definitely does not give them what they want. If they cross the bottom line, they will be punished.

Zhu Biao told Yun Jin who was beside him: "Take her down and resettle her. The fee is considered as a female official for the time being. Teach her the rules in the palace."

Yun Jin promised softly, and then led Qing Lian down, the three brothers immediately winked at their eldest brother, the second child smiled and said: "The eldest brother suddenly brought such a beautiful woman back to the palace, does the emperor's wife know?"

The third child also echoed: "That is, if the emperor's sister-in-law is not happy and goes to the queen mother's side, don't blame the younger brothers for going to watch the fun."

Zhu Biao snorted and said, "You want to watch my excitement too. It seems that you are used to the good life recently. Wait two days to go to the martial arts field to practice?"

The three brothers didn't accept the move at all. The last time the big brother led Fu Zhong to beat them up in the martial arts field, Fu Zhong's stubbornness was really deadly.

After a few words of teasing, no one mentioned it anymore. In the end, she was just a woman, and it was just a pastime. What is it worth in real terms by joking with my elder brother?

Looking at the greedy younger brothers, Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Okay, I can hardly move my feet anymore, let's pick some favorites."

This is what the three brothers were waiting for, and they were not polite at all. They went up and picked a few pieces they liked, all of which were rare treasures, including Tang and Song calligraphy and paintings.

If these things were placed in the previous life, each of them would be treasures that can only be viewed from a distance through the bulletproof glass, but now they are transported into the warehouse in boxes and boxes.

This is nothing. If Zhu Biao is willing, he can search a few more warehouses at any time, because there are people in the world who want to flatter His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so how can they be stingy with these extraneous things.

Zhu Biao summoned Liu Jin, drew dozens of top-level treasures from the list of accounts in his hand, and said: "Send them all to Kunning Palace."

Then I picked some ordinary orders and sent them to the princes and princesses of the palaces. The quality of these is average, but for the young princes and princesses who have lived in the deep palace for a long time, it is already very rare.

Even though they gave away a lot, they didn't even have a tenth of it. After all, the families of officials and gentry in several prefectures are very rich.

According to the old habits, the four brothers went to the Yumajian together to brush their beloved horses. During the period, they exchanged brotherhood. In the afternoon, the three brothers said goodbye when they knew that their eldest brother had business tonight, but they also made an appointment for Zhu Biao in a few days. When they are free, their younger brothers will treat their eldest brother to a feast outside the palace.

Zhu Biao looked at the backs of the three brothers with a flat face. The three were still fighting from time to time, like children who hadn't grown up yet, but Zhu Biao knew in his heart that his three younger brothers had really grown up.
