If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 118 Parents' Concern

Because so many things happened, the Fengtian Palace banquet that was supposed to last until late at night ended prematurely. All the vassal kings and civil and military officials left the palace, and Zhu Gaochi also returned to the East Palace with his two sons. .

As soon as they returned to the East Palace, Crown Princess Zhang immediately grabbed Zhu Zhanqun's arm and groped him up and down to check whether this was still her son.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhu Zhanqi was pulled around several times by Mrs. Zhang, looking at her helplessly.

"What else can you do! Let's see if you are still my son!" Mrs. Zhang let go of Zhu Zhanchun, the expression on her face became very helpless, and at the same time there was a trace of well-hidden worry in her eyes: "I How can a piece of flesh that fell off the body after ten months of pregnancy and be in a coma for eight years turn into a dragon after a good son? Tell me honestly, are you still my son?"

It's no wonder that Ms. Zhang asked this question. After all, Zhu Zhanchun's various behaviors did not look like the son she was familiar with.

In other words, the scene where Zhu Zhanjuan transformed into a dragon in Fengtian Temple was beyond Zhang's understanding and made her feel that her son had become a complete stranger.

Faced with Zhang's suspicion, Zhu Zhanqi just comforted her with gentle words: "Mom, how could I not be your son? I already told you, it's just the art of change, the ability I won in a bet with Lu Chunyang! It can only change from moment to moment."

Of course, Zhu Zhanjun would not say that he was a real dragon. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, he would not say that.

Even when facing his family members, he still said the same thing.

Mrs. Zhang didn't care about this, she just touched him up and down again to confirm that this was the son she had raised. Then she put down her worries and said with a complaining face: "Don't say mother said anything to you, you said If you just ignored the guy who impeached you in Fengtian Palace today, why would you make such a big fuss?

Even if you want to kill him, there's no need to start such a big battle, right?This is a good time. Your grandfather gave you the title of Prince Zheng and carried you to Peking on a pole. It was freezing that day, how could your little body stand it!When you were a kid, you couldn't live without the stove and the kang as soon as autumn came. Now that you have to go to the feudal lord, how will you survive the winter? "

Zhang also lived in Peiping for a long time and was very impressed by the climate in the north. Especially when Zhu Zhanquan was afraid of the cold when he was a child, he always had to hold a hand warmer every winter.

This also left a deep impression on Ms. Zhang. She always felt that her son was still the child with a small copper stove in his arms, and she was worried that he would be cold and hungry.

However, Zhu Zhanquan shook his head and consoled Mr. Zhang: "Grandpa intends to move the capital to Beiping. Tianjin will be our important town in the Ming Dynasty in the future. Whether it is the grain from the south or the sea salt produced locally, it is destined to prosper in the future. We You won’t suffer hardship if you go to Tianjin.”

Zhang wanted to say something more, but Zhu Gaochi asked him with a serious face at this time: "Zhanjuan, why did you attack so hard in Fengtian Hall today?"

What happened in Fengtian Hall today was very strange. Maybe I was surprised by Zhu Zhanchun's transformation into a dragon just now and didn't react. But now that I have calmed down, Zhu Gaochi and others may be able to tell that Zhu Zhanchun took action today. The strangeness comes.

After all, he had decided to ignore the official before. Even if the other person's words were fierce, he could just continue to ignore him.

That was in the Fengtian Palace. Even if the official had the courage, he would not dare to disobey the emperor, let alone disrespect or offend Zhu Zhanyu in any way. At most, he could only use words to provoke Zhu Zhanyu.

In the era of imperial power, anyone who offended an emperor's grandson could be beheaded.But Zhu Zhanchun's reaction was completely excessive. Not only did he turn into a dragon, but he also used thunder to beat the opponent to ashes. This was very different from Zhu Zhanchun's usual style of doing things. It's no wonder that Zhu Gaochi You will feel doubtful.

"That man called me a monster, so he deserves to die." However, Zhu Zhanquan didn't want to explain this matter at all. After just replying, he cupped his hands to Zhu Gaochi and Zhang and said, "The child is tired, just Let’s go back and rest first.”

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Gaochi to say anything else, he turned around and left.

Seeing Zhu Zhanchun's sudden change of expression, even Zhu Zhanji on the side was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with my second brother? Does this matter irritate him so much?"

Although he felt very uncomfortable with Zhu Zhanjun's sudden transformation into a real dragon and had many thoughts in his mind, after all, Zhu Zhanji was still just a teenager, and he still cared more about his younger brother.

"Don't mention this matter again in the future. This should be a thorn in Zhan Yun's heart. I don't know what the child has been through. How can he bring up this matter with such anger!" Zhu Gaochi stopped Zhu Zhanji. Continuing to ask, he shook his head to indicate that he didn’t need to say any more.

Later, Zhu Gaochi remembered that Zhu Zhanjuan had been granted the title of Prince Zheng today, so he said to Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanjuan asked the emperor for the title of Prince Zheng, and also asked for Tianjin as a fiefdom. He must have arranged for the fiefdom later. Things are going to get very busy. You two are brothers. Zhanji, you know if you have more time to help your second brother, don’t just idle around all day?"

"I'm still idle all day long?!" Zhu Zhanji felt aggrieved, and he couldn't speak clearly with his anxious face.

But before he could say anything, Mrs. Zhang interrupted him: "Okay, don't talk about this. You are now a grown man. It's time to think about getting a wife. My mother will arrange everything for you. You think it's time to go Are you begging your grandpa to choose a beautiful girl for you, or are you looking for a girl from a certain family and want me to hire you?"

Compared with Zhu Zhanjun, Zhu Zhanji does seem to be idle all day long and not doing his job.

But this is actually normal. He is only half a teenager, which is the age for fun.

But when you are born in the royal family, you can indeed start planning a marriage in your teenage years. After all, a royal marriage, especially since Zhu Zhanji is the emperor’s eldest grandson, will not be considered a real marriage in two or three years, whether it is a talent show or a betrothal gift. finished.

So it’s not too much to start choosing a partner and settling down the marriage now.

It's just that for Zhu Zhanji, this matter undoubtedly made him very reluctant, but he couldn't object to his parents' order to be a matchmaker, so he could only say "Let mother make the decision", and the same thing happened. Went back to his room.

The prince and the princess were left alone to discuss what kind of daughter-in-law they should choose.

The couple discussed Zhu Zhanji's marriage and did not forget about Zhu Zhanjuan. Mrs. Zhang even asked Zhu Gaochi specifically: "Do you think we should also arrange for Zhanjuan's marriage? Let's just go together for their brothers' marriage." Done?"
