Daming: I am the Crown Prince

Chapter 31 I am Yunxun!
When it is time to keep vigil, keep vigil; when it is time to read, read; when it is time to drink tea and read, drink tea and read.

Zhu Yunhuan's life seemed very comfortable. He did not try so hard to show himself like Zhu Yunwen, nor did he persevere in seeking to see Zhu after being rejected again and again like Zhu Yunwen.

This was nothing, but as the seven days were approaching, Zhu Yunxun began to get anxious. He was anxious, and Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling were even more anxious.

The two sisters have not been idle these days. Since moving out of the Eastern Palace, they have been reading books and reciting poems every day. They are often taken by Concubine Ning to learn how to manage the household.

After serving the tea, Zhu Yourong said, "Little brother, did you have a fight with the Emperor's grandfather again?"

Zhu Yunxun, who had his feet on the table, quickly stood up and said, "No, my grandfather and I are fine!"

Zhu Youling said without giving him face, "You haven't paid your respects to the emperor for several days, and you still say you didn't make a fuss? Even if you didn't make a fuss, you are a grandson, and paying your respects to the emperor is a filial act!"

Zhu Yourong also advised, "Little brother, we women can't help you in the fight for the throne. But if you don't think about other things, you should also think about the emperor. Concubine Ning said yesterday that the court had already issued an order to sacrifice to the emperor."

This was a big deal. Previously, Zhu Yunhuan was allowed to pay tribute to Chang Yuchun, but was temporarily stopped from paying tribute to Zhu Xiongying.

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't allow it, but in order to worship Zhu Xiongying, the King of Yu Huai, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Clan Affairs all had to send people.

We are about to go and offer sacrifices to Zhu Xiongying, but there are still many things we haven’t discussed with Old Zhu.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunhuan became a little anxious. Going to pay homage to Zhu Xiongying was no small matter.

Originally he thought he was sitting on the Diaoyutai, thinking he had Zhu Yunhuan under control, but now Zhu Yunhuan feels like he is tying up his own knot.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Yunhuan asked hurriedly, "It's almost time to eat now. I wonder if Grandfather has eaten yet?"

Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling looked at Zhang Fusheng, who was the person arranged by the emperor's grandfather. Zhang Fusheng might know some of the movements of the old Zhu that others did not know.

Zhang Fusheng immediately looked sad. If His Majesty hadn't specially arranged someone to pass on the message, how would he dare to inquire about His Majesty's movements?

Zhu Yunhuan was a decisive person, and he immediately said, "I will go and ask for an audience right now. Is your royal grandfather in the Wuying Palace or the Qianqing Palace now?"

The area of ​​the imperial city of Yingtian Prefecture is close to seven square kilometers, and the area of ​​the palace city is over one square kilometer.

The location of Rouyi Palace is very good. It is right next to Fengxian Hall, and you can reach the three main halls in a few steps. Rouyi Palace is just behind Wuying Hall, and it is only a few steps away. It is also closer to Qianqing Palace than the East Palace.

Old Zhu was in the Wuying Hall, but no one could tell what the old man's mood was at the moment, as he had a stern face.

A young eunuch stepped forward cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Third Grandson of the Emperor requests to see you."

Looking at the food on the table, Old Zhu suddenly felt better. "Seeking an audience? If you come to ask for an audience now, just say I won't see you!"

Zhu Yunhuan, who was full of confidence, encountered a wake-up call. He thought he had firmly grasped Zhu. But now, he was really too smart and shot himself in the foot!

Zhu Yunhuan was still unwilling to give up, and continued, "Go and tell them again, and tell them that I have something important to report."

The young eunuch ran back to Wuying Palace happily, and Old Zhu had already picked up his bowl of rice.

After hearing the eunuch's message, Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud. "I still don't want to see him. Just say that I'm busy now and don't have time to see him. Wait until I'm busy for a year or two, and maybe I'll have time to see him!"

As soon as the young eunuch went out to deliver the message, he heard a voice outside shouting, "Grandfather Emperor, I am Yun Hun!"

A smile appeared on Old Zhu's originally stern face, and his appetite became better. That little bastard is so smart, he really thinks we can't see through his little tricks?
Zhu Yunhuan was stopped by the guards and eunuchs, but he was still unwilling to give in, "Grandfather, please just see me!"

The arrogant old man turned a deaf ear to him and said to the eunuch who was serving beside him, "Send two steamed buns over."

Zhu Yunhuan's confidence increased when the young eunuch walked out of Wuying Hall. But who knew that the young eunuch simply bowed and hurried to get the sesame cake.

After a while, Zhu Yunhuan almost shouted himself hoarse, but still failed to see Old Zhu. He could only leave in disgrace. His original high spirits and confidence turned into dejection and depression.

Seeing that the outside had quieted down, Old Zhu stood up and said, "If he comes again tomorrow, he will be allowed to enter the palace, but not the palace." This meaning is easy to understand. There are many palaces inside the imperial city, all with small palace gates. Zhu Yunhuan was allowed to enter the Wuying Palace, but not directly enter the Wuying Palace, and he was blocked outside the palace gate.

The arrogant old man stood up and thought as he walked, I should ask Lady Zhang to sleep with me. No, it would be uncomfortable for others to sleep next to me, so I should go to Lady Zhang and return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity after finishing my business.

Seeing Zhu Yunxun return to Rouyi Palace dejectedly, Zhu Yourong asked with concern, "Why did you come back so soon? Didn't the royal grandfather invite you to dinner?"

"Eat?" Zhu Yunhuan said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't even see him! This is great, I really pissed him off."

Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling suddenly became worried, but they could only worry.

Zhu Yunhuan thought about it carefully and made up his mind, "I'll go there tomorrow. At worst, I'll just get beaten up!"

Zhu Yunhuan has now "come to his senses". He can play tricks on Old Zhu, but if he goes too far, he will become a laughing stock.

This is the situation now. Zhu Yunhuan thought he had Old Zhu under his control these days.

But now, he looked like a clown. Old Zhu just watched Zhu Yunhuan jumping up and down comfortably, and was in such a good mood that he even ate two more pancakes.

The depressed Zhu Yunhuan could only go back to rest after dinner, get up early to do some simple exercises, and then go to keep vigil for the prince.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Yunhuan asked, "Has Grandfather left the court?"

Zhang Fusheng immediately replied, "I don't know either, but I saw court officials coming to guard the body."

That means it's time to adjourn the court. After the court is over, as long as the court officials are not sitting in the government office, they will come to keep vigil for the prince. This is the rule and the etiquette.

Zhu Yunhuan was walking towards Wuying Palace happily. On the way, he saw the paper man Zhu Yunwen, who was walking back with a proud look on his face. It seemed that as expected, he had just returned from the direction of Wuying Palace.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Yunhuan proudly. He met the royal grandfather today. Although he only greeted him and was not able to ask him questions, the royal grandfather praised him for his filial piety and advised him to take care of his health and eat more.

He also made a comparison, saying that Zhu Yunhuan was a bastard and he didn't want to see him and was too lazy to talk to him.

Zhu Yunwen was very proud. It seemed that in the eyes of his grandfather, I was the most beloved child!
The two brothers passed each other, both of them were so arrogant that they didn't even bother to say hello.

Zhu Yunhuan went straight into the palace gate, and no one stopped him along the way. This scene made Zhu Yunhuan a little excited. If Zhu Yunhuan didn't see him, someone must have stopped him and someone needed to pass on the message.

All the way to the palace gate, suddenly the guard came forward, "Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that Your Highness is not allowed to enter the palace."

Zhu Yunhuan was dumbfounded and pointed at the palace door. "The door is open. I can just lift my leg and go in. Why are you blocking me here?"

The guard lowered his voice and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, please spare me!"

Zhu Yunhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Old Zhu who was so close to him and said, "Grandfather, can you at least let me in to say hello?"

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunhuan proudly, and suddenly said, "Oh, it turns out that it is our good grandson Yunwen who is here. Didn't he just come to ask how he is? All right, I'm fine, you can go back! I'm fine, you can have a good rest, I know you are the most filial, better than some people!"

Zhu Yunhuan would never believe the old Zhu's blurry eyes, "Grandfather, I am Yunhuan! Is Yunwen as majestic and majestic as me?"

Old Zhu is not only blind, but also has hearing problems. "Yun Wen, I still have to deal with state affairs. I won't talk to you anymore. Go back and rest, study hard, and learn from your father."

Zhu Yunhuan wanted to cry but had no tears, "Grandfather, I am Yunhuan!"

Just as he was about to rush into the palace gate to let Old Zhu see clearly, he was immediately stopped by the eunuchs and guards who were prepared. His Majesty has ordered that His Royal Highness the Third Grandson is not allowed to step into the palace gate!
Zhu Yunhuan was so angry that he sat down on the doorstep and said, "I'm not leaving!"

Old Zhu looked up and said, "Don't let that man get in the way. There will be ministers coming soon. Don't block the road. Move aside."

The guard said "forgiveness" and was lifted up before Zhu Yunhuan could react.

Looking at Zhu Yunhuan who was sitting at the doorstep, a smile appeared on Old Zhu's lips: You bastard, you are playing tricks on me!
