Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 273 How did the princess offend you again?
The two brothers Zhu Ying and Zhu Zhi didn't dare to ask their father for money even if they had the guts of a bear.

Seeing that the eldest nephew took their money to please their father, the two of them felt angry and hated, but they didn't dare to complain face to face, so they could only cry.

Seeing that the two of them really believed it, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly told the two of them the truth.

"I lied to you!"

"I did promise to give your father money, but from my part, I didn't touch a single cent of your money!"

When the two heard what Zhu Yunxi said, they couldn't believe it.

"Nephew, you didn't lie to us, we are different from you, we are very poor, and we only hope to build the palace with the money we earn this time!"

"Why lie to you, the little money of yours, Grandpa Huang doesn't like it!"

Seeing a few people chatting about homework, Er Hu immediately reminded them helplessly.

"Third emperor's grandson, can you wait until later, at least until the execution of the humble post is over!"

Seeing what Erhu said, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly struggled to stand up from the ground.Seeing his standing up, Zhu Zhi and Zhu Ying immediately knew that the grandson was lying again, and the father must have given the grandson something to eat in the back room!

Zhu Yunxi did not beat hard, but no matter how hard it was, it would still be dozens of whips, and it was the lesson that old Zhu Tou gave him with all his strength.

Therefore, there was still the necessary pain, but he pretended to be nothing, and intentionally angered the two Uncle Wangs.

"Uncle Hu, it's almost enough to hit me a few times. Grandpa Huang is mainly angry with me. After beating me, the anger will disappear. Don't make things difficult for my fourteenth and fifteenth uncles."

The two tigers nodded and said.

"That being said, the emperor said that even if you lose one hundred boards, let the humble job finish it!"

"All right!"

"Hurry up and fight, I will take them to share the money after you finish the fight!"

"okay!"

The next board is more perfunctory, but it is just to make up the number.

Seeing that the two of them stopped shouting, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly reminded them.

"Cooperate with the two of you, let the old man in the room hear something wrong, he will definitely come out to check!"

"oh oh!"

"My nephew was right to remind me!"

Zhu Zhi hurriedly yelled "Aww", Zhu Ying was rather shy, but when he thought that he didn't need to be hit by the board, he also shyly yelled.

Not long after, the two of them finished playing the board, patted their buttocks as if nothing happened, changed their clothes and went to the gate of the palace with Zhu Yunxi to share the spoils.

Seeing this, Erhu hurriedly followed, then found a cart, took his twenty bolts of lake silk, and happily went home to please his wife.

When Zhu Zhi and Zhu Ying were busy dividing the gold on a large scale, Zhu Gui, who had just cried out from the Changning Palace, happened to be out of the palace. After seeing this scene, he joined in decisively and ordered his 1 taels The silver was loaded into the cart, and then he left contentedly.

After she left, Concubine Guo Hui led a group of dog legs to the gate of the palace. When she saw the silk, satin, gold and silver jewels piled up all over the floor, the woman's eyeballs were shining with the brilliance of a female dragon.

"It has to be our little girl, not like that naughty son of ours, who only knows how to ask for money, and never wants to pull money into the palace!"

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and help!"

"promise!"

Following Concubine Guo Hui's order, dozens of eunuchs and court ladies stepped forward to help move the money.Not long after, 40 taels of silver entered the palace treasury.

Zhu Yunxi selected hundreds of high-quality silks and satins from the bunch of silks and satins snatched from the Japanese pirates, and asked Concubine Guo Hui to make some decent clothes for the little grandmothers in the harem.

Concubine Guo Hui was so moved that she praised Zhu Yunxi as a good boy, and even led him around the harem specially, so that the harem concubines who were worried about him had a good look, so as to save them from running to her to inquire every day.

When Lao Zhu woke up, it was already sunset outside.He stretched comfortably, and when he came to the outside room, he didn't see the Ni Sun, so he panicked for a while.

"Where did the Ni Sun go?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the grandson of the third emperor was dragged to the harem by Concubine Guo Hui to accept the thanks of the concubines."

"grateful?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the grandson of the third emperor gave three hundred bolts of fine silk to the harem, and the 40 taels of silver that he promised to give to you was also put into the treasury by Concubine Hui."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was so angry that he rubbed his forehead and cried out in pain.

"It's over!"

"The silver got into the hands of that female Pixiu, and trying to get it out is as difficult as climbing the sky!"

After Lao Zhu said this, he cursed angrily.

"You are a dead person, why don't you stop it!"

"Going back to the emperor, the servant wants to stop it, but the concubine Hui didn't give the servant a chance at all. Moreover, the concubine Hui has a strong army, and the small body of the servant can't stop it..."

Lao Zhu just complained, he didn't think that Qin Deshun could really stop the tigress in the harem, but he just felt a little depressed when he thought that the money was gone.

"Is the imperial dining room ready?"

"Going back to the emperor, I'm ready to order it. They are all the favorite dishes of the third emperor's grandson!"

"Ok!"

"Send someone to the harem to call that grandson back!"

"You're such a big kid, and you're running into the harem like crazy, and you don't know how to avoid suspicion!"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he couldn't help hiding behind and curling his lips secretly.

Although it is said that older princes are not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will, it is the rule of all dynasties.But how old is the grandson of the third emperor, what if he went to a harem?
Didn’t see His Royal Highness Daiwang, did you just go to the harem to intercede with Concubine Guo Hui, so that Concubine Guo Hui wouldn’t reprimand the Second Miss of the Xu family?
This old man must be sour again, sour that his grandson is getting close to Concubine Guo Hui, hehehe...

"The third emperor's grandson is sincere and filial, and it is right for the women in the harem to favor him a bit, so the emperor should not be harsh..."

"You want to talk too much?"

After Lao Zhu scolded Qin Deshun, he turned into a model worker again and began to sit on the dragon chair to work.

He first sent a decree to the Ministry of Rites, asking them to make preparations and worship the ancestors of all dynasties in the Taimiao tomorrow.He also ordered people to inform all the honorable officials in Beijing, senior officials above the third rank, and let them come to the Taimiao tomorrow to pay homage.

In the end, the paperwork for the previous application for merit was collected, and all of them were put together to give instructions one by one.

While Lao Zhu was busy, Zhu Yunxi was not idle either.As soon as she came out of the harem, she was stalked by four little girls. Zhu Mingyue led the three younger sisters, chatting non-stop around Zhu Yunxi.

"Third brother, during the time you're not here, you've worried us to the core!"

"Third brother, look, Xiao Mingpeng thinks about you so much that he loses weight!"

"Have you lost weight?"

Zhu Yunxi leaned down, squeezed Zhu Mingdang's chubby little face and smiled.

"Oh, I lost weight, so thin that I can hardly hold it with one hand, hahaha!"

"go!"

"Follow me to the gate of the palace, and I will bring you a lot of good things this time, so your dowry will be even richer!"

The four immediately became happy when they heard this, and the two younger ones, Zhu Mingyu and Zhu Mingdang, clapped their hands happily.

Relatively speaking, the two sisters, Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Minglan, are almost at Jiji's age, and they know what it's like to get married, and a shy blush appears on their faces.

"Third brother will talk nonsense, we don't want to marry, we will always be with third brother..."

Zhu Yunxi didn't believe their nonsense, so he teased them and asked.

"By the way, how are you doing recently? Has Mrs. Lu ever bullied you?"

Zhu Yunxi could call "Lu Shi" directly, but the four little princesses didn't have the guts to do so.

A trace of sadness flashed across Zhu Mingyue's face, and she said rather resentfully.

"The princess is okay with us, but she doesn't let us go to Dabendang, and keeps us in the prince's mansion every day to be female celebrities..."

Zhu Minglan lowered her head and wept secretly, refusing to say a word.

When the other two young people heard the words, they hurriedly added more details.

"Third brother, during your absence, the Crown Princess bullied us every day, forbidding us to study in Dabentang, not letting us go out to play, asking my aunt to teach us how to do things every day, and beating us if we didn't do well!"

"Look at my little hand, it's been pierced into a sieve by needles, woo woo woo..."

Zhu Yunxie's expression changed on the spot when he saw Zhu Mingdang's little hand full of wounds.

"She, Mrs. Lu, is so courageous that she dares to bully you like this!"

"Don't worry, third brother will reprimand that vicious woman right now!"

When Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Minglan heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly grabbed Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Mingyu and Zhu Mingdang applauded heartlessly from the sidelines, feeling that someone finally came back to stand up for them.

Zhu Mingyue reprimanded immediately.

"Shut up, both of you, and stop the third brother!"

"If the third brother really goes to make trouble with the princess, it will only make our lives more miserable in the future!"

Hearing what Zhu Mingyue said, Zhu Yunxi immediately asked in puzzlement.

"Why is this?"

"Oh...how dare we say this..."

"Third brother, you better stop asking, just pretend you didn't hear what Xiao Mingdang just said..."

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi immediately picked up Xiao Mingpan.

"Xiao Ming, do you know what's going on?"

"I know!"

"Big sister told us that our future marriages will all require the crown princess to nod!"

"If we offend the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess will find us a blind man or a lame man to marry, and we will be the ones who are unlucky in the end!"

"Is that so..."

Zhu Yunxi felt confident when he heard the words, and comforted the others.

"Go and greet Concubine Guo Hui first, and then go to the Daben Hall to study as usual, and don't pay attention to Lu's words."

"This……"

Zhu Mingyue and the others were overjoyed when they heard the words. She had just mentioned this cryptically that she wanted to continue studying in Dabentang.

But when she thought that Mrs. Lu was the mistress of the Prince's Mansion after all, and their mother and concubine in name, she felt a beating in her heart.

"Third Brother, is this okay? Will it offend the Crown Princess?"

"will not!"

"I'll talk to her myself!"

After Zhu Yunxi put down these cruel words, he immediately ordered the four younger sisters to be sent to the harem, and asked them to pay respects to Concubine Guo Hui.

As for himself, he went to the Prince's Mansion with his mouth open.

Mrs. Lu had heard that he had returned safely, and she was annoyed that God had no eyes. There was no big wave that drowned this naughty son, so he heard people say that this naughty son begged to see him.

Lu Shi didn't want to talk to Zhu Yunxi at first, knowing that it would be good for him to come here.But when he thought that he was working hard to build a reputation of "virtuousness" recently, he squeezed out a smiling face and ordered someone to call him in.

"Oh, my son is really worried about the dead mother and concubine. God is sorry to see you. Fortunately, the emperor protected you and let you return safely!"

Zhu Yunxi tore his face unceremoniously.

"Crown princess, let's stop being so hypocritical. Your son is Zhu Yunqi. Why have you ever cared about me?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu was so angry that the root of her teeth itched, wishing to bite him to death.

But there must be a decent smile on the face, no matter how stiff the smile is, it cannot be broken.

"Since you say so, then the mother concubine will not keep you for dinner."

"Tell me what you have to say!"

"Crown princess, I only have one thing to do today, and that is that the marriages of the four younger sisters in the future have nothing to do with you. I, the older brother, will find good husbands for them!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she suddenly smiled, secretly thinking that Zhu Yunxi was too naive.

Since ancient times, the marriage of a man and a woman has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

She still doesn't believe it, which honorable family in the capital will leave her as a genuine princess to discuss marriage with a child.

"Zhu Yunxi, I know you have prejudice against me."

"However, I don't have the slightest selfishness in teaching Zhu Mingyue and the others to behave. It's entirely out of the responsibility of the Crown Princess. I want them to understand some rules so that they will not lose the face of the royal family when they marry in the future."

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said with disbelief on his face.

"You will be so kind?"

Lu smiled bitterly and said lightly.

"what ever!"

"Anyway, I have a clear conscience about teaching Zhu Mingyue and the others. Even if you sue your grandpa, your grandpa won't be able to find fault with me!"

"is it?"

Seeing that Mrs. Lu said so firmly, Zhu Yunxi felt a little uncertain. Could it be that Mrs. Lu really changed her mind and wanted to do something good?

However, this thought was only a flash, and Zhu Yunxi put it behind him.

His prejudice against Lu's is deeply rooted, so he doesn't believe that she has such kind intentions.

"Even if what you said is true, my sister Wang doesn't need you to teach me!"

"I will naturally find them the best teacher and teach them the best etiquette and rules!"

After Zhu Yunxi put down these harsh words, he went to the harem. Concubine Guo Hui was ordering someone to measure the four little girls, planning to make new clothes for them.Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had returned, he hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Xie, what's wrong with you, but where did you get angry?"

Zhu Yunxi told about the princess, and Guo Huifei pointed at his forehead and reprimanded him.

"You, you!"

"Let Grandma Guo tell you what to order. Although you feel sorry for your sisters, you can't stop the princess from teaching them how to behave!"

"Look at your four younger sisters, they are all spoiled by you like wild children. If you continue to indulge like this, you will have to stay in the palace and not get married in the future!"

Zhu Yunxi said angrily.

"If you can't get married, you can't get married. I will support them for a lifetime!"

Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Minglan immediately blushed shyly when they heard the words.Zhu Mingyu and Zhu Mingdang clapped their hands heartlessly, and happily said yes, yes, let the third brother take care of him for the rest of his life.

Concubine Guo Hui listened to Zhu Yunxi's childish words, pulled him down and explained earnestly.

"Little Xiexi, Grandma Guo knows that you love your sister, but this matter is really not that simple."

"If you four sisters want to find a good family, you really have to learn more about female celebrities and rules from the Lu family."

"Mr. Lu was a talented woman who was well-known in the capital. Even if you look at the entire capital now, there is almost no one who is better than Mr. Lu in terms of etiquette, rules, female celebrities, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Your four younger sisters are able to be taught by the Lu family. It is their good fortune. Even when they go out to discuss marriage, if they say that the crown princess teaches them personally, they will be looked at highly by others!"

"Besides, Mrs. Lu has already told me that she wants to select some young talents for the four princesses, and the civil servants are married."

"This is a blessing that ordinary princesses don't have. How can you stop it? You don't want your four royal sisters to find any nobles to marry in the future, right?"

Concubine Guo Hui's words were true. If Lao Zhu were to point out the marriage, then these four little princesses would definitely be taken by him to marry Xungui and become victims of political marriages.

Zhu Yunxi was a smart person, and he understood what Concubine Guo Hui said.It's just that he was still upset, and always felt that Mrs. Lu had ulterior motives.

"Grandma Guo, can't we marry a civil servant ourselves?"

Concubine Guo Hui smiled slightly when she heard the words.

"What's your grandfather's reputation, don't you have any idea?"

"If your grandpa is really asked to propose marriage, which civil servant in the court can afford this face?"

"Bengong's face is worthless, but don't you know what kind of background I am from, you little hozen?"

"I only know a few civil servants in this palace, so where can I find out who has a good-looking young gentleman who matches my age?"

"So, you can safely leave this matter to Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu will not treat the four of them badly."

Zhu Yunxi said unwillingly when he heard the words.

"There's nothing wrong with marrying a general Xungui..."

Concubine Guo Hui couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this.

"Ask your four younger sisters to see if they would like to marry Qingliu, a civil official, or Xungui, a general."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Minglan. The two little girls had been eavesdropping on the conversation here. Seeing this, they hurriedly lowered their heads shyly, not even daring to look at Zhu Yunxi.

Seeing this, Concubine Guo Hui giggled.

"This time you understand, in fact, they are happy in their hearts, just complaining to you that Mrs. Lu is too strict."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he secretly scolded the two older ones for having no conscience, and they would even lose their face in order to marry a scholar!

But after thinking about it, for the princess and princess of the Ming Dynasty, marrying a scholar is indeed better than marrying a group of big bosses...

Concubine Guo Hui saw that Zhu Yunxi still couldn't turn this corner, so she tried to persuade her again.

"Don't worry, Grandma Guo will keep an eye on you. If Mrs. Lu chooses a bad family, I won't be able to pass this test!"

Concubine Guo Hui pampered Zhu Yunxi's swollen face, pinching it was not enough, and then patted her away a few more times.

"Hurry up, your grandpa is still waiting to have dinner with you, he sent someone to remind you just now, don't make him wait!"

"Oh……"

Zhu Yunxi left Changning Palace full of depression, his mind full of how to break the situation.But he went all the way to Qianqing Palace, but he couldn't think of a good way.

After all, matters related to the marriage of a man and a woman are the most complicated. You have to talk about your background, your family status, your talent and your appearance, and your harmony.

Therefore, even if he has all kinds of clever tricks, he still feels helpless when facing this kind of thing.

If it was really because I intervened rashly and found myself a few scumbag brother-in-laws, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.

Lao Zhu saw Dasun pouted, with unhappiness written all over his face, and his heart immediately felt distressed.

"Yo yo yo, look, my grandson is so angry, who is this so hard-nosed, making you so angry?"

"Grandfather, my grandson is suffering..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he panicked on the spot. How wronged this child must have been, to be able to say the word "suffering".

He quickly stretched out his hand to grab Dasun, hugged him on his lap and coaxed him.

"Da Sun, what's wrong with you, whoever dares to make you suffer, we'll take the skin off!"

"Princess!"

"It's the princess, woo woo woo..."

"Uh uh... Isn't the princess quite calm recently? She is busy teaching the four princesses every day. How did you provoke you?"
