The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 106 My Father Is Your Majesty's Child (please subscribe and ask for a monthly pass)

Huang Mansion, the courtyard of Huang Zicheng's house.

Being an official in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, you don’t have to worry about housing. Ordinary officials can live in official residences, and important officials also have residences bestowed by the imperial court.

Earlier, Huang Zicheng lived in the unified allocation room of the Hanlin Academy, but after he became a companion of the East Palace, he was allocated a three-entry house on the edge of the inner city.

Then Huang Zicheng took his wife and four sons from his hometown to live in the capital.

"Master, why are you so restless, but what's the matter?"

Huang Zicheng's wife, Mrs. Xu, made a cup of tea for Huang Zicheng. Looking at his frowning, she couldn't help asking worriedly.

As a woman, her husband is precious, and being able to live in such a three-entry mansion in the capital, Xu is most worried about her husband. The only thing to be thankful for is that her husband will study with her in the East Palace, which is relatively safer.

Especially in recent days, when I heard that the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi was appointed grandson, every day my husband's face was beaming with joy.

Sudden frown today.

"Go, what do you know as a woman, help me prepare and change clothes, I'm going to the palace."

Huang Zicheng took a sip from the teacup and urged his wife Xu.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she hurried to help prepare her husband's official clothes.

Sitting in the main room, Huang Zicheng looked at the setting sun in the distance, and suddenly felt like the sun was fading away.

"Now only His Royal Highness can save my life."

Seeing the servants and his son coming and going in the yard, Huang Zicheng thought to himself.

He didn't expect that he had just asked someone to inquire, and he was arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Prison in a blink of an eye.

Although in the heart of luck, the servants of the two fellow countrymen may not betray themselves.

But he had to find a way out first.

He knew that Jin Yiwei was very strong and strict, but he didn't expect to move so fast.

I regret it too much.

In fact, when Huang Zicheng sent someone out, he was just preparing to show off at first, and then told His Royal Highness that he couldn't find it.

Thinking about it, even if His Royal Highness Taisun was a little unhappy, it was at most considered a disadvantage in handling affairs, and it was not a major crime.

It's just that I didn't expect this meaning, so it caused a big problem.

"Master Zhu, I'm sorry, this is the first time I have eaten such a delicious pastry, I'm a little rude."

Xu Miaojin said with a reddish face.

After the discussion before, it didn't take long for Zhu Ying to invite everyone to eat pastries.

Mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, etc., are not special in Daming, especially in honorable families like the Xu Mansion, they are very common.

Xu Miaojin didn't think much, picked up a piece and ate it.

Then just one sip, the delicate, melt-in-the-mouth feeling completely conquered her.

This is a taste she has never felt before.

No matter what status a person is, they are human after all, and no one can resist the temptation brought by delicious food.

After a few mouthfuls, Xu Miaojin finished the mung bean cake in his hand.

Subconsciously, she was about to reach out and grab a new mung bean cake.

At this moment, Xu Miaojin suddenly discovered that Zhu Ying and Zhu Gaochi were not eating, but were watching her at the same time.

"Haha, brother Ying, let me just say it, my aunt will definitely be fascinated by the taste of your pastry." Zhu Gaochi said with a big smile.

Just when the cakes were just delivered, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Ying had already completely communicated with each other.

Xu Miaojin, who was a little shy in front of Zhu Ying, said those words.

"Why do you look like a big girl's family? You are just a child. You can eat whatever you want. There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to worry too much." Zhu Ying said to Xu Miaojin with a smile.

At the same time, he sighed to the women of Daming.

A child who is no more than ten years old already has the demeanor of everyone in every gesture. This is what kind of environment he lives in to be like this.

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He looked at Zhu Ying's slightly pitiful eyes, and felt embarrassed.

His aunt Xu Miaojin, who usually looks like this, has not let go. If she really lets go, I am afraid Brother Ying will not be able to bear it.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help looking at his aunt.

Feeling the gaze, Xu Miaojin cast a sneaky glance at Zhu Gaochi with a sense of warning, not looking shy.

It's just that when she turned to Zhu Ying's side, her cheeks turned red again.

Then he said in a crisp voice: "Young Master Zhu, don't say that, the little girl will be able to leave the cabinet in two years."

Zhu Ying paused for a moment, and then remembered that women in Daming, generally at this age, are almost ready for engagement.

Many wait to get married as soon as they come of age.

Zhu Ying couldn't answer these words, but fortunately, the food was delivered not long after.

The dishes for entertaining Zhu Gaochi and Xu Miaojin are obviously relatively rich.

Xu Miaojin, who had been prepared in his heart, was no longer so surprised when he ate it again.

It's just that the beautiful eyes seem to fall on Zhu Ying inadvertently.

Zhu Ying and Zhu Gaochi were talking about firearms.

As they chatted, the two became more energetic.

Zhu Ying lacks a lot of basic knowledge about firearms. After all, she had little contact with firearms in her previous life, and she has no contact with them in this life.

Zhu Gaochi was touched by Zhu Ying's unconstrained thinking, especially the novel combat method and its use in combination, which he had never thought of.

Xu Miaojin was a little interesting at the beginning, but later on, she became a little boring.

She didn't walk out of the door, and she didn't know anything about firearms, so she became boring.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that it was getting dark, the food was finished, and the two were still talking about it, Xu Miaojin coughed twice to remind Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi, who had a heated chat, of course ignored it.

Xu Miaojin had no choice but to cough twice more.

"Miss Xu, what's the matter? It's something uncomfortable in my throat. Uncle Zhang, go and get mung bean juice and pour a glass for Miss Xu. Use a crystal cup."

Zhu Ying ordered and said.

At this moment, Xu Miaojin's heart suddenly felt very warm.

He seems to care about me very much.

With her head down, Xu Miaojin didn't dare to look at Zhu Ying anymore. The idea of ​​going out to play just now disappeared.

Only Zhu Gaochi woke up suddenly.

Understanding what my aunt meant, listening to Zhu Ying's instructions, and my aunt's expression, I couldn't help coughing lightly and said:
"Brother Ying, I don't think it's getting too early, why don't we go to Qinhuai early to play, I'm afraid it will be too late, there will be no seats on the Qinhuai flower boat."

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have asked Uncle Zhang to charter a flower boat, and I can go there anytime."

As early as when Zhu Gaochi proposed to visit Qinhuai at night, Zhu Ying winked at Zhang Bo and arranged everything.

Hearing Zhu Ying's voice, Xu Miaojin raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation.

Ten Li Qinhuai, in today's Daming, because of the capital, it should be the most prosperous area.

Merchants, businessmen and geisha gather here, and it is the most famous place for fireworks and moonlight.

Before boarding the boat, you can hear bursts of singing, which is like a competition between geisha from all sides, secretly competing for skills.

If it is a loser, then avoid it in a remote place.

After 25 years of recuperation, the number of wealthy households in the capital has increased, and there are countless large and small painting boats on the Qinhuai River.

Zhang Bo led the crowd to an extremely luxurious building.

As the night gradually fell, lights were lit on the large and small ships, and the roofs in front of the upper cabins were hung with colorful lights. The deck was very empty, and there were tables and chairs carved from mahogany.

There was also tea brewed on it.

"Brother Ying, you are really spending too much money." Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help sighing.

Qinhuai is so famous, it is certainly not the first time for Zhu Gaochi, who grew up in the capital, to come here, and naturally understands the value of contracting such a large painting boat.

In gold-selling caves like Qinhuai, there are many rich merchants who spend tens of taels of silver overnight.

"It's rare for me to treat you once, and it can also embarrass the eldest prince and Miss Xu. It's okay, just play at ease."

Zhu Ying said with a smile, and then arranged for everyone to board the ship.

Just when Zhu Gaochi was about to go up, Xu Miaojin quietly pulled Zhu Gaochi's sleeve.

Zhu Gaochi looked back, only to see Xu Miaojin gesture to the guards of Prince Yan's mansion who followed behind.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly understood, and told the guards: "You guys wait here on the shore. The fierce appearance, I'm afraid it will scare the other girls."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and threw it over, saying: "Let's find a place for yourself, Lele, don't run away."

After receiving the purse, several guards looked at each other, folded their fists and bowed, "Thank you, Eldest Prince."

The building boat drifted slowly with the current, and besides the servants on the painting boat, there were also several maidservants waiting on it.

This is the first time Xu Miaojin has seen such a night scene.

The sky is full of stars, the water is brightly lit, the singing is lingering in my ears, and the wishful man is in front of me.

Before drinking, Xu Miaojin, who was sitting on the wicker chair on the deck, was already a little drunk, and his eyes were a little blurred.

"It's such a beautiful day, why don't Brother Ying write a poem." Not long after, Zhu Gaochi joked.

"Forget it, I don't know how to write poetry." Zhu Ying smiled and refused.

In fact, he really remembered two poems related to Qin Huai, but for him, there was no need to rely on poems to gain fame.

When Xu Miaojin heard this, her body moved slightly, and she also wanted to write a poem.

However, for some reason, Zhu Ying's figure was all in his mind, and he seemed to have forgotten all the poems that he came up with in his daily life.

In desperation, I had no choice but to step out of the window screen to hide my embarrassment, and watch the night view of the Qinhuai River from the edge of the deck.

Zhu Ying's building boat is extremely eye-catching in the whole Qinhuai River.

After all, the contract price for the painting boat on the second floor is extremely high.

It's not the only place, those geisha's places are mostly building boats, surrounded by small boats of literati.

However, on a large boat like Zhu Ying, the lights were bright, and the painting boat, which was enough to carry dozens of people, had less than ten people.

"Which building boat is that? It's even more arrogant than this young master."

On a painting boat, a certain young man with his arms around a geisha said to his friend next to him.

The three friends were drinking and having fun, when they heard this, they smiled and said, "It might be another rich businessman who doesn't understand the rules, and came to Qinhuai to show off."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Mr. Zhou cares what he does, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, so don't neglect the beauties around you."

"Come on, Mr. Zhou, it would be nice to have a cup of wine with my slave."

"Young master Zhou, my servant wants to drink too."

The geishas on the left and right sides of Mr. Zhou leaned tightly on Mr. Zhou's body and acted coquettishly.

Feeling the heat from left and right, Mr. Zhou's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to look away and enjoy himself to his heart's content.

At this moment, on the upstairs ship, a woman came out from the window screen in the middle of the deck.

The beautiful face immediately made Mr. Zhou stunned.

"Young Master Zhou, what are you doing?"

The geisha on the right, seeing Mr. Zhou froze suddenly, asked with some doubts.

The young master Zhou in front of him is a wealthy and noble family. For a geisha like them, even if she can be a concubine, she can be regarded as a phoenix.

It's just that the rule of performing arts and not selling one's body is useless, and I wish I could go straight into the bridal chamber.

It would be best to conceive with flesh and blood, no matter what, it can be regarded as getting out of the sea of ​​suffering and entering a wealthy family.

On the Qinhuai River, there are not too many such examples, and Mr. Zhou's appearance is quite handsome.

"Go away, my son, a bunch of vulgar fans, don't dirty my eyes."

Young Master Zhou, who was disturbed, suddenly became furious, and directly pushed the two women on the left and right away, yelling.

Immediately, everyone present stopped, and a person on the opposite side even said: "Zhou Ji, what are you doing, why did you suddenly get angry, it just spoiled our interest."

Zhou Ji glanced at his friend on the opposite side, but he didn't answer, but ordered to the boat servant.

"Speed ​​up for me, catch up with the flower boat in front, hurry up. If you are late, watch your head carefully."

Hearing this, the several young masters couldn't help but look at the flower boat before.

I saw a woman on the deck, her clothes swaying with the wind, and the face of the closed moon was mixed with the stars in the sky.

Everyone immediately understood the reason for Zhou Ji's sudden outburst.

With the alluring woman in front of her, the vulgar fans around her are naturally dull.

"Zhou Ji, don't be impulsive. This is the capital, not Jiang Xia. Be careful to offend people you shouldn't." The former young master reminded him.

Zhou Ji heard this, and said with a sneer, "Master Chang Sen, I am not like you. With my father's reputation, although this capital is big, there is no one I can't afford to offend."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lou Chuan and said with a trace of covetousness: "Why should this little lady be acquired by me today."
