Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 323 323: Zhu Jiantang: I have a new aunt!
The word selfish seems to have nothing to do with Zhu Xiaqiu.

He is the type of person who works silently and never complains to anyone!
Perhaps when he was young, he would complain to Zhu Li that being the regent prince was too tiring and full of dissatisfaction and frustration. However, as he grew older and spent longer and longer periods of time as prince, Zhu Xiaqiu got used to this state of affairs.

"I am an unfilial son and have only one son, but I also know that one day in the future, my descendants will continue to shine for the Ming Dynasty. This is enough!"

Hearing Zhu Li's sigh, Zhu Xiaqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Forget it, Dad won't advise you anymore. You can make your own decisions on some matters!"

Zhu Li patted Zhu Xiaqiu's shoulder helplessly, then stood up and left.

In fact, the reason why I chose to come out at this time was not only because I wanted to see how Zhu Xiaqiu and Zhu Jiantang were doing, but also because of something special!

That means a concubine in the harem is about to give birth!

Over the years, although there were not many concubines in Zhu Li's harem, there were still a few.

A concubine named Zou was pregnant with Zhu Li's child!
After Zhu Li found out, he had no intention of asking Zou to abort the child, because he knew that Zou was actually pregnant with a little princess!

If she was pregnant with a son, perhaps for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Li would not allow the child to be born!

If she's just a princess, then it doesn't matter.

According to the time, Zou should be giving birth in the next few days, so Zhu Li just took advantage of this time to come out of seclusion and see his newly born daughter!
Now in the harem, Queen Cao is getting older and older, and is already seventy years old.

But with Zhu Li around, it will definitely not be a problem for Cao to live to be around a hundred years old!

But after all, I am old now, and there are many things I want to take care of, but I am unable to do so!

Fortunately, there is the younger Li who can help her take care of the harem so that she doesn't have to worry too much!
Upon receiving the news that Zou was about to give birth, Cao did not go there in person, but asked Li to go to Zou's palace on her behalf.

See if you can help in any way and lend a hand.

In fact, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of such a little life in the harem!

Zhu Li's situation is quite special. Over the years, he has almost never had any children!
She had given birth to two little princesses before, both of them were girls. Anyway, apart from Zhu Xiaqiu and his four brothers, Zhu Li also had quite a few sons!
I can only say that Zhu Li has really good control in this aspect!

The reason why Cao asked Li to visit Zou was because Li and Zou were relatives and could be considered cousins.

And there were not just one person named Zou, but two people, a pair of twin sisters, who entered the palace at the same time!

Unfortunately, only the elder sister became pregnant with Zhu Li's child, while the younger sister did not!
But no matter whether it is the elder sister or the younger sister, they definitely hope that the child they give birth to can be a prince rather than a princess!

After all, the idea that a mother's status depends on her son is deeply rooted!
Even though Zhu Li has been emperor for so many years, some fundamental ideas and concepts still cannot be changed in a short period of time!
Having a boy is always better than having a girl!

But things went against their wishes, and Zou gave birth to a little princess!

They also didn't know that if they were pregnant with a boy, Zhu Li would never allow the child to come into the world and could get rid of it without anyone knowing!

"Sister, it's a girl...what should I do?"

When the younger sister saw that her elder sister gave birth to a girl, she immediately became anxious.

"Nursing...didn't the nurse just give birth to a baby boy?"

"Your Majesty is not here right now. If we can switch sides, maybe there is still a chance!"

Even though Zou had just given birth and was still extremely weak, she quickly made a decision after hearing what her sister said!

Obviously she had thought about what to do in this situation before!

"Okay, I'll go change the baby right now!"

After hearing this, the younger sister finally gritted her teeth, picked up her sister's newborn daughter, and prepared to leave!

"Where are you going?"

"Is this a newborn baby?"

The newborn baby was still crying loudly, which immediately attracted Li who had just arrived at the door!
How can you run out with your baby just after it’s born?
"Cousin... this child... this child is not..."

Who could have thought that Li would just happen to witness this scene?

My sister suddenly felt at a loss as she held the child!

She wanted to say that the child was not his sister's, but obviously this lame excuse didn't hold water. Could it be that the child fell from the sky?
"What's going on?"

"You need to clarify the identities of you two sisters. How can you take the identity of the royal heir lightly?"

Li looked at Zou's panic-stricken sister and seemed to understand something!
"Cousin, please spare my life!"

"My sister and I were just possessed by a devil for a moment. We just wanted to exchange this child for the newborn boy at our wet nurse's house!"

Sister Zou couldn't bear the pressure anymore and knelt down in front of Li!

"You dare to do such a thing, do you really want to die?"

Li's face changed immediately!
She really guessed it right!
Where do they get the courage to cheat in such a matter and try to replace the prince with a cat?

"Cousin, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

"We just want a prince. Only if we give birth to a prince can the emperor's grace shine upon our Zou family!"

Zou was really frightened and quickly begged Li.

After hearing Zou's explanation, Li was speechless and at the same time felt a little amused.

The two sisters really didn't know Zhu Li well enough. Did they really think that Zhu Li was a tyrant who could not see through their low-level tricks?

"Hurry and bring the child in!"

Li scolded Zou's younger sister and went straight in to check on Zou's elder sister's condition!

As soon as she saw Li appear, Sister Zou’s face suddenly turned even paler!

She knew that the truth must have been revealed, and she couldn't help but avoid looking at Li!
"You guys, what can I say about you?"

"Luckily I caught you today and prevented you from causing any disaster!"

"To tell you the truth, if you really dare to bring back a prince for His Majesty, not only will Huang Enhao's grace not shine on your Zou family, but it will also bring disaster to the Zou family!"

"And do you really think that giving birth to a son will bring honor to the family?"

"Don't you think about who is controlling the current situation in the world?"

After Zou's sister came in with the child, Li questioned the two sisters with a helpless look on her face.

"This...isn't this world yours?"

The Zou sisters obviously didn't understand what Li meant, and responded as a matter of course.

"This world is indeed your Majesty's, but what about the future?"

"Now, King Feng, King Han, and King Dan have been confirmed as the backbone of the next generation of the Ming Dynasty. They have almost divided up the entire world of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Do you think they will allow another younger brother to appear in the royal family?"

"Which one of the three of them is not a powerful person now?" "Then do you think that even if you really give birth to a son, he can defeat the three of them?"

Li was almost laughing at the sight of these two stupid women!
Upon hearing this, the Zou sisters collapsed to the ground!

Li is right!

Today, the King of Wind, the King of Han, and the King of Dan are three powerful kings who are incompatible with each other. If a younger brother really appears, it is estimated that there will be a drama of four kings fighting each other!

Not to mention whether their son has the chance to grow up, even if he really survives and grows up, can he defeat his brothers?

They had never thought about these possibilities before, but that doesn't mean they really don't understand anything!
Li's reminder woke them up from their dream, but they also felt ashamed!
"Okay, you two, think about it carefully!"

"Your Majesty has already come out of confinement, and should be here soon!"

"Your little tricks can't be hidden from his eyes!"

"No matter what happens, you'd better pretend you know nothing and don't make any more trouble!"

"I am doing this for your own good. That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not!"

Finally, Li gave some instructions to the Zou sisters and then turned around and left!

She didn't expect to encounter such a thing today. Maybe every move here had already reached Zhu Li's ears!

By saying this, she was also giving the Zou sisters a shot of prevention, which really saved their lives!

"No need, I'm already here!"

Just then, a man's voice suddenly sounded at the door.

The three girls turned their heads and saw Zhu Li walking in!

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

The three girls hurriedly bowed to Zhu Li in panic. Even though Sister Zou had just given birth to a child, she had to kneel on the ground and endure the pain!
Now, not only was it discovered by Li, but even Zhu Li knew about it!
Zhu Li didn't even look at the two Zou sisters, but turned around and left with the newborn princess in his arms!
In his eyes, the two Zou sisters were insignificant. On the contrary, it was this little girl who made him care a little, after all, she was his own flesh and blood!

"You guys...just wish you good luck!"

Li glared at the Zou sisters angrily and hurriedly chased after Zhu Li!
The Zou sisters looked as pale as death!
They knew very well that after what happened today, Zhu Li would never even look at them again, which was equivalent to banishing them directly to the cold palace!
And the baby that has just been born no longer belongs to them!
Maybe this is what you call it?

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

Li had already caught up with Zhu Li and shouted breathlessly.

"Are you here to plead for your two cousins?"

Zhu Li stopped and stared at Li with a smile and asked.

"Are you making fun of me?"

"How could I possibly have such thoughts?"

"They are really confused. I don't know what to say!"

"But this child...what are you going to do with him?"

Li glared at Zhu Li unhappily. She guessed that besides Queen Cao, she was the only one in the entire harem who dared to glare at Zhu Li!
"I originally wanted to send it to your sister and ask her to bring it herself!"

"But your sister is old now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of a little kid!"

"Otherwise, I'll leave this child to you to raise!"

Zhu Li pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke.

The sister he was referring to was naturally Queen Cao.

But Cao is already seventy years old and may not have the energy anymore. It would be just right to hand it over to Li!
At least Li is the child's legitimate aunt!

I guess the Zou sisters should be able to feel more at ease, right?

"So you feel sorry for my sister, but you can't feel sorry for me?"

"Well, just leave this child to me?"

Upon hearing this, Li rolled her eyes, but eventually took the child from Zhu Li's arms.

……

Hanzhong, Dingjun Mountain.

Zhu Xialun also came out of the customs.

Although he, the King of Han, is in his own fiefdom, he is basically in name only, just like the emperor Zhu Li. He usually stays in seclusion every few days and basically doesn't care about the affairs in his fiefdom!
"It looks like Second Brother doesn't have much time left!"

Zhu Xialun counted with his fingers and felt that Zhu Xiaqiu might not live long!

It probably won’t be long before his father’s imperial edict comes down, and he will definitely be allowed to return to Shuntian Prefecture!

Now, among the three kings, he is the only one willing to send his son to study in Yingtian Prefecture!

"Father should be very satisfied with this child, Tang'er!"

"As a father, I am also blessed by my son. I am honored because of my son!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Xialun couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Among the four brothers, only he and Zhu Xiaqiu are real brothers. Although his relationship with Zhu Xiaqiu is not good on weekdays, he feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks that Zhu Xiaqiu might be leaving!

Of course, even if Zhu Xiaqiu really died, he would become an emperor soul, and it is true that he was sent directly to the Emperor Soul Tower by his father!

It doesn’t mean we’ll never see each other again!
It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Han Palace was also filled with joy.

During this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Li also asked the princes of all the kings to return to their fiefdoms so that their families could be reunited!
Zhu Jiantang naturally also came to Dingjun Mountain to pay his respects to his father in person!

"How is your grandmother's health lately?"

After asking about Zhu Jiantang's recent situation, Zhu Xialun asked about the health of his biological mother Cao!
After all, the old man is old, and as a son, it is natural to care about him!

"Grandma Empress is doing fine!"

Zhu Jiantang replied.

"That's good!"

Zhu Xiaqian nodded slowly.

His biological mother is not like his biological father. He never worries about his father's health. On the contrary, his father is still strong and healthy. I heard that he has favored many young concubines in the harem in recent years!
"But Grandpa Huang has given you another sister!"

Zhu Jiantang suddenly changed the subject.

Zhu Xiaheng: "..."

ps: Brothers, can you humbly ask for a few free recommendation votes? I beg you on your knees!
