Chapter 28 Our grandson is pitiful, woo woo woo...

As soon as Lao Zhu heard the eldest grandson crying, he panicked on the spot, and hurriedly got up from his seat and moved in front of the eldest grandson.

"My grandson, don't cry!"

"Tell grandpa, whoever is angry with you, we will vent it for you!"

Zhu Yunxi was sobbing and crying, while complaining aggrievedly.

"Grandpa Huang, did you make it up? Lu Shi won't give me food, woo woo woo!"

Old Zhu's face turned dark when he heard this, if it wasn't for Jin Yiwei's interrogation of the people in the Prince's Mansion yesterday, he would really have believed this grandson's words.

"Grandson, you can't talk nonsense about this. We know about that Lu family. He may be a little bit cautious, but we never dare to treat you blatantly and harshly."

Zhu Yunxi immediately exploded when he heard the words.

"Why is it impossible?"

"Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunxuan have food every night, but I have to suffer from hunger. Isn't this harsh treatment?"

When Lao Zhu heard what the grandson said, he felt a little angry. This Lu family is too outrageous to treat our grandson so differently.

But when he thought about it, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He clearly remembered that there was a rule in the palace, not to eat after noon, and not to eat at night.Even he, the emperor, only eats two pieces of cakes and drinks tea to make do with it at night, so where did the Lu family get the food?

"Dasun, it's not good for children to lie, how can you slander Mrs. Lu out of thin air..."

"Grandfather!"

"What grandson said is true. Mrs. Lu made stewed chicken for Zhu Yunxuan last night, and Zhu Yunxuan also has a share, but I and the other concubine sisters don't have it!"

At this time, Xu Xingzu stood up to testify for Zhu Yunxi.

"My lord, what His Royal Highness the Second Emperor said is true. Yesterday, the Crown Princess did order the Imperial Dining Room to make two servings of stewed chicken, plus two bowls of fragrant rice."

"This……"

After Lao Zhu experienced a brief moment of astonishment, he immediately became furious.

"Xu Xingzu, how did you do it, we handed over the imperial dining room to you, that's how you manage things?"

"Say!"

"Then what is the relationship between the Lu family and you, and what kind of back door did you use to please them so much!"

When Xu Xingzu heard the words, he immediately called out to hit Tianqu.

"My lord, this old slave has nothing to do with the Lu family, and he didn't go through the back door, he just spent money to buy it."

When Old Zhu heard that he was not well, he asked with a look of surprise.

"bought?"

"Is it fair to buy it?"

Xu Xingzu had a natural expression on his face.

"Yes!"

"Didn't you just buy it openly!"

"Ten taels of silver for a chicken, the price is fair, no one will deceive you."

"And it's not just Lu's who buys it, but also Concubine Hui, Concubine Han, and Concubine Gao in the harem also use money to buy it."

"Originally, this old slave didn't want to break the emperor's rules, but he couldn't hold back the pleadings of the ladies, saying that the princes and grandchildren cried at night when they were hungry, so this old slave agreed."

"However, the old slave has to defend himself. The old slave didn't take a cent of the rewards from the ladies. All of it was distributed to the people in the imperial dining room, and asked them to send it home to supplement their families."

What Xu Xingzu said was reasonable and upright, even a picky person like Lao Zhu had nowhere to refute after hearing it.

Just like what Xu Xingzu said, if your son and grandson eat the food, and he doesn't have any money, what can you do with him?

Lao Zhu couldn't even say "this is not an example", because once this road is blocked, wouldn't his own royal children and grandchildren starve?
Just when Lao Zhu hadn't figured out what to do, Zhu Yunxi on the other side cried "Wow".

"Father, you are so cruel, why don't you take the child away too, woo woo woo..."

"You don't know, after you leave, no one cares about the baby, no one asks, and you won't even be able to eat dinner!"

"The imperial grandfather's palace rules are designed to bully a poor child like me who has no love from his father, no love from his mother, woo woo woo..."

"Other people's children have mothers and concubines to buy dinner for them, but I can only stand outside other people's windows, watching others eat and drooling, I am so pitiful..."

"As long as I can eat a few more full meals, I won't be so weak that I can't take care of myself, and my legs will cramp after walking a few steps, woo woo woo..."

How can a person of Lao Zhu's age stand this?

Hearing Dasun crying so sad, and what he said was so wronged and bitter, I just felt that my heart was about to break.

The two eyeballs were red on the spot, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

When he heard him say that he had no father or mother, Lao Zhu felt that ten thousand steel needles were piercing his heart, and his heart was full of self-blame and guilt.

This child has a grudge against us, for not taking good care of him!

"Dasun, stop talking, we know you have been wronged..."

"Although your father is gone, you still have grandpa. Grandpa will take good care of you and never let anyone bully you!"

"Xingzu!"

"From now on, we will set up a small kitchen for our eldest grandson in the imperial dining room, and we will put everything we need on our account!"

"Whatever our eldest grandson wants to eat, you can make it for him, and you are not allowed to wait in the slightest!"

"Hey!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Xu Xingzu looked at the grandpa and grandson who were hugging and crying, and wiped away his tears sadly.

What the child said was so pitiful that it was so heart-wrenching, but no one could stand it.

Even if the emperor doesn't give orders, he still intends to take extra care of the child and send someone to bring him food every day.

I dare not say too much, what the other princes and grandchildren eat must be his share.

As for the ingredients, it's even simpler, just steal a few pieces from a few chickens, isn't it enough?
He still doesn't believe that who can put the chicken bones back together in such a spare time!

Lao Zhu hugged his eldest grandson and cried for a long time. Seeing that it was time to go to court, he comforted him with his red eyes.

"It's getting late, you can go to Dabentang to study at ease, and someone will bring you food in the evening!"

"If you have food you want to eat, send someone to the imperial dining room to talk."

When Xu Xingzu heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

"This old slave will definitely follow suit, and will never let His Royal Highness the Second Emperor be wronged again..."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Zhu Yunxi nodded obediently, then picked up two big buns from the table and put them in his sleeves, and walked towards the main hall bouncing around.

Seeing this scene, Lao Zhu burst into tears again.

If the child wasn't so hungry, why would he leave with two buns after eating so much?
He was afraid that he would not be full at noon, so he brought two in advance just in case!
"Our eldest grandson is pitiful, woo woo woo..."

"The second emperor's grandson really makes people feel distressed..."

Xu Xingzu agreed, and followed Lao Zhu to shed some tears, and then asked suddenly as if remembering something.

"By the way, the emperor, what grade does the diet of the second emperor's grandson refer to? Please show me."

Old Zhu was crying sadly, when he heard this, he said without thinking
"It's still a question, of course it is based on our level!"

Xu Xingzu was stunned when he heard this.

According to the rank of the emperor, it is necessary to make three servings of each dish.

One portion is tasted by the chef on the spot, one portion is kept for later use, and the last portion is for the emperor.

In this way, the security is greatly guaranteed, but the cost has also risen sharply.

"Your Majesty, are you sure?"

Old Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Of course!"

"During the process of passing on the food, you also sent someone to keep an eye on it. You must not give it to someone else, and you must send someone you trust to deliver it!"

"If something goes wrong and our grandson eats something that shouldn't be eaten, you are the only one to ask!"

When Xu Xingzu heard this, his heart suddenly became awe-inspiring, and the expression on his face became serious.

This is no longer a general order, but a golden word that can't be followed.

Xu Xingzu solemnly saluted Lao Zhu, expressing his importance to this matter.

"Old slave obeys!"

"From now on, the food and drink of the second emperor's grandson will be watched by this old slave. Please rest assured, the emperor!"
