Chapter 599
  Mother and daughter Yang were very surprised to receive Zhu Yuanzhang's recognition and appreciation.

Yang was still worried that their rough pastries would be looked down upon by Lao Zhu, but now she can rest assured.

Lao Zhu took a peach blossom-shaped pastry and took a bite. It was very fragrant and crispy. He praised: "It's so delicious. The girl from the Tie family is really good. It's very good!"

In his opinion, such a woman is the most virtuous and knows how to run a household.

When it comes to marrying a wife, beauty comes second, and the most important thing is to be virtuous and run the house. After passing his standard, he ate a piece of fragrant pastry and thought that Tie Xiuying was a virtuous woman.

This kind of pastry is made with a lot of thought and is not like something bought in some inn or restaurant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Yang wanted to thank her again. When Tie Xiuying saw her, she also wanted to kneel down and salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "This is not the palace. You really don't need to be polite. Just be casual. We are all so casual. If you are still polite, you just look down on us."

How dare they look down on Lao Zhu and sit quietly aside.

"My dear grandson, why don't you eat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it and asked, "Do you not like it?"

After hearing these words, Yang's mother and daughter became nervous again. If His Highness doesn't like to eat, then they will offend His Highness and worry that it will have a negative impact on their husband's future.

Zhu Xuan had no choice but to explain: "Miss Tie made the cakes so beautiful. It's not that I don't like them, but I can't bear to eat them. Just like this little white rabbit, it doesn't look cute after one bite."

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Yuanzhang would not consider this, as long as he could eat it.

When he was born in poverty, he ate everything, including tree bark, grass roots and other things. If he had something to eat, he didn't care what it was or what it looked like. Anyway, eating it made him feel good.

Young people today still know how to pay attention to these things.

After hearing Zhu Xuan's words, Tie Xiuying couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, her pretty face turned slightly pink, and she was worried that doing so would lose her etiquette.

"It's just normal stuff."

Yang explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although the food is ordinary, it smells very good. The imperial chef in the palace made it more exquisite and beautiful, but he didn't put any thought into it, so it's still too different."

He ate two more, but he thought they looked really good and it was a pity to eat them, so he clapped his hands.

Yunqi took a handkerchief and wiped Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

"Your Majesty and His Highness like it, so I will give these to you."

Tie Xiuying was still a little in awe in front of Lao Zhu and said cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it unceremoniously and said: "Yunqi, take it back to the palace. We will continue to eat it in the evening, but we can't ask for your pastries in vain."

Yang said softly: "Your Majesty, this is our intention, and it is really an ordinary thing. Your Majesty likes to eat it, which is our greatest honor."

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "This won't work. Tie Xuan is still helping us fight in the north. How can we treat you badly?"

He thought for a while, took out a jade pendant carved with a dragon from his arms, handed it to them, and said: "Whatever happens in the future, as long as we and my good grandson are still here, you can take this jade pendant into the palace, what trouble will it cause?" It can all be solved.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Mother and daughter Yang could only kneel down again, not daring to take the jade pendant, and said: "Your Majesty's reward is too valuable. A common woman dare not take it. Please take it back."

"Not expensive at all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang handed it to them and said: "I give it to you, but you must hold it. Tie Xuan is not as polite as you in front of us."

They had no choice but to accept it and thank them again.

"If your Majesty likes it, you can send someone to the home of the girl."

Tie Xiuying mustered up her courage and said softly: "Young women can make more cakes and send them to His Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he felt that this method was very good, but he quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, it's not in line with the rules and etiquette. Just be willing."

As the head of a country, he had too much contact with the female relatives of court ministers, which was something that those censors would scold him to death. Even if we have such a conversation today, if the imperial censors find out, an impeachment memorial will be sent as soon as tonight, which will make the civil servants very upset.

However, Lao Zhu looked at Tie Xiuying for a moment and felt that this girl was really good, virtuous, well-behaved, generous and decent. Tie Xuan now had a good daughter.

"All right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang got up and said: "We have almost rested. It's time to go back to the palace. You can continue to play."

"Farewell to Your Majesty, Farewell to Your Highness."

Yang mother and daughter said in unison.

Watching Zhu Yuanzhang go away, they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking at the jade pendant in their hands, they truly believed that it was a great honor for their mother and daughter to meet His Majesty today. His Majesty was better than they thought, and he was not as cruel as the rumors outside said.

"mother!"

Tie Xiuying said softly: "Your Majesty is quite kind."

Yang agreed: "It's a blessing to be able to see His Majesty. Let's go back too!"

She felt that it was a good time to come to Jiming Temple to pray to her husband today. Now that the Buddha has appeared, she can meet His Majesty right after praying and get His Majesty's approval and reward.

Before leaving, Yang faced the Jiming Temple and bowed twice more to thank the Buddha.

-

Down the mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back in the chariot.

Zhu Xuan was accompanying him, holding Tie Xiuying's food box. When he saw Grandpa Huang eating two more cakes, he finally made up his mind and ate the little white rabbit.

"It smells really good."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "This is something made with care, containing Miss Tie's concentration. Compared with other pastries, it feels different."

"My dear grandson thinks so too, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and asked: "What do you think of the Tie family's daughter?"

Zhu Xuan said: "Gentle and generous, very virtuous."

"My dear grandson thinks it's good, then that's fine."

"What does Grandpa Huang want to do?"

Zhu Xuan suddenly became alert.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "Of course I am looking for another concubine for you. I think the Tie family girl is very good. She is a virtuous woman like your grandma, gentle and generous, and is the best candidate to be your grandson's wife."

Zhu Xuan: "..."

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is still young, and Sister Miaojin and the others haven't married yet, so how can we have a concubine?"

He felt that Grandpa Huang was a little impatient.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about this at all, and affirmed: "In two years, you will get married to the girls of the Xu family and the Mu family, and then marry a daughter of the Tie family. As the grandson of the Ming Emperor, what will happen to a few more women? There are too many women. Some of them will be able to do a better job in the future and help our old Zhu family flourish. I think the Tie family’s daughter will have a good childbirth, which is great!”

Zhu Xuan didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.

It was just a brief meeting, and the emperor's grandpa could even tell that he had a good childbirth.

However, Grandpa Huang's thoughts are very typical feudal thoughts. Everything is based on passing on the family line. Coupled with the supremacy of the imperial power, whichever woman he likes, he can get it.

You can choose whichever woman you want to be your concubine for your good grandson.

Who dares to object?

No one dares!
