Daming: I am the Crown Prince

Chapter 82 Let’s make peace

Some jokes cannot be made, or perhaps it can be said that with Zhu Yunhuan's identity, he can have many ways to express intimacy, but some jokes are too lethal to other people.

He is a lonely man, so there is no need to think about it. Even his relatives will care about his identity.

However, Zhu Yunhuan didn't care much about these things. He just ate and drank as usual.

After eating and drinking, Zhu Yunxun asked, "Aunt, someone just said that you are depressed. Can you talk to your nephew about it?"

Princess Anqing was a little embarrassed, and then she raised her voice, "What are you talking about? What do you know about adults' affairs?"

"Aunt, don't look down on me." Zhu Yunxun flattered himself and was also trying to improve his statement. "I'm not even fifteen yet, and my grandfather said that my mind is better than those of people in their twenties or thirties. I don't have a photographic memory, but I can understand the meaning of many books after reading them once."

Zhu Yunxun smiled, "Yunwen has been studying since he was young and is also sensible. The mother and son have raised me for thirteen years, and my two sisters are also by my side to take care of me. If it weren't for what happened some time ago, wouldn't everyone think I was a playboy?"

Princess Anqing was stunned, and Princess Ningguo next to her was also stunned.

Although they had not had much contact with Zhu Yunhuan before, they knew some things about him.

In the past six months, the playboy has suddenly become the grandson of the crown prince, which is unexpected. Even though I have had more contact with him during this period, I don’t know him too well, but I can feel that Zhu Yunhuan is different from ordinary children.

Princess Ningguo suddenly realized that to act like a dandy, one must have intelligence to act like one. If one starts to act like one in his teens or twenties, then one might be able to act like one.

But Yunhu was different. He had a reputation of being a playboy and a dandy when he was only four or five years old. That is, only two years after his elder nephew passed away, his younger nephew's reputation of being a playboy came out.

They all live in the royal family and can learn many things without any instruction.

Princess Ningguo suddenly asked, "You, do you remember things early?"

"I think a lot anyway." Zhu Yunhuan smiled brightly and said, "Aunt, aunt, I have never liked the idea of ​​chasing after child prodigies in the Northern Song Dynasty. But even in this dynasty, there are some people who are just amazing. I am not a child prodigy or a wise man, and I am not as smart as them, but I am not an ordinary child either."

If Zhu Yunhuan had said this in the past, Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing would have thought it was a joke. But considering Zhu Yunhuan's current status and recent performance, his statement is very convincing.

Princess Anqing said, "No wonder people say that the emperor liked you in the past. No wonder you have such a big reputation as a playboy, but he didn't stop you."

Princess Ningguo also kept nodding her head in agreement with this matter. This must be the case.

Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling were both happy and aggrieved. Their younger brother was so precocious, but they had no idea about it!
Zhu Yunhuan could easily brush aside topics like precocity. As long as he became the crown prince, there would be many people who would help him to beautify his image, and he wouldn't have to do some things personally.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Princess Anqing and said, "Auntie, I just want to ask, has your husband treated you badly?"

Princess Anqing shook her head, "I wouldn't dare to do that."

"Don't dare?" Zhu Yunhuan said seriously, "It's just that it's not good to not dare, isn't it?"

Seeing that Princess Anqing didn't say anything, Zhu Yunhuan asked again, "Have his parents and brothers been disrespectful to you?"

"We rarely see each other. I'm in the Princess's Residence and they're at Ouyang's. Even when we meet, they don't dare to be disrespectful." Princess Anqing still said matter-of-factly, "I'm just not close to them. I don't like them."

Zhu Yunhuan became more serious and looked at Princess Anqing, "Auntie, how about a divorce?"

Princess Anqing hadn't said anything yet when Princess Ningguo jumped up and said, "Your Highness, you can't do this carelessly!"

Many people generally think that reconciliation rather than separation is the most correct approach.

Zhu Yunhuan should be like this in most cases. But when it comes to matters of principle, he will definitely persuade people to separate rather than reconcile.

Princess Ningguo said excitedly, "Your Highness, if my little sister divorces me, it will be such a disgrace!"

It was a scandal. It was no wonder that Princess Ningguo thought so. Even in modern society, no one would consider divorce as an honor. Even in modern society, divorce would be pointed out and talked about by people around.

This was even more true in feudal society, where even though some dynasties had a system of divorce, it put more pressure on the woman. As for the woman's family, they would rather see their daughter suffer injustice in her husband's family than divorce.

The reason is simple: once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled on the ground. If she divorces and returns to her parents' home, not to mention the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the simple gossip of the people around her and the public opinion of her family will make her dare not even think of divorce.

This is even more true for royal princesses, whose engagements were originally political marriages, so how could they dare to divorce?

Princess Anqing was also startled and said hurriedly, "Not really, not really."

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Princess Anqing seriously and said, "You still have feelings for him? That's fine, I will punish him, but I'm afraid you will have to move to another place with me. What do you think?"

Zhu's eldest daughter, Princess Lin'an, married Li Shanchang's son Li Qi, and now her entire family has been exiled to Jiangpu.

Princess Ningguo's face changed. No wonder her nephew wanted to persuade them to divorce. Princess Anqing was also a little flustered and asked, "How serious a crime did he commit?"

"He occupied the people's land and took people's lives. His family relied on my status to run rampant in the village." Zhu Yunhuan said calmly, "I'm afraid my aunt doesn't know that not only does the county magistrate not dare to deal with him, even the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture does not dare to accept the complaint."

Princess Anqing quickly defended herself, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with me!"

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have held a banquet to entertain my sister-in-law."

Zhu Yunxun immediately stopped smiling and said, "I think it's a divorce, and we're done with each other."

Zhu Yunhuan then added, "His family committed a crime. I checked the Ming Dynasty Law and found that they can be divorced on moral grounds or by amicable consent."

Princess Ningguo was in a mixed mood. It seemed that her nephew had really made preparations and even brought out the "Great Ming Law". However, the existence of these clauses in the law was one thing, and the public opinion and influence of the outside world was another.

Seeing that Princess Anqing didn't say anything, Zhu Yunhuan continued, "Or I can kill the main culprit and scare him. But if that's the case, do you think you can still live like that?"

Princess Anqing laughed bitterly and said, "How is that possible? He is a sinister and stingy person. He thinks it is his duty to be treated well. But if he is not satisfied with something, he will become an enemy."

Zhu Yunxun laughed immediately, "As long as my aunt doesn't think that a day of marriage is a hundred days of grace, I might have let her go out of my way. But now I won't have to. I will kill Ouyang Lun first, and then choose a good husband for my aunt!"

Princess Anqing was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Leave it to me!" Zhu Yunhuan said directly, "It just so happens that my two elder sisters don't know anything else except studying, so my younger sister will stay in the East Palace to help me manage the household."

Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling nodded repeatedly. They were not good at housekeeping and were still working hard to learn.

Princess Anqing stood up and said hurriedly, "How can this be possible! I will go back to the Princess Palace."

"Stay in the East Palace!" Zhu Yunxun said directly, "Should we divorce first and then execute her, or execute her first?"

Princess Ningguo suddenly said, "Don't divorce. If he violates the court's laws and is unacceptable to heaven, it is his own fault. What does it have to do with me?"

Princess Anqing also reacted and said, "If it really comes to that, there is no need for divorce. He is just a nephew, there is no need to vent your anger on his family."

Zhu Yunxun smiled and said, "I have always thought that the disaster should not affect the family. This is true for some things. However, I also think there should be a premise: the benefit should not affect the children. Ouyang Lun's family took advantage of Ouyang Lun's status to do evil, so let's just forget about it?"

Princess Anqing was silent for a moment before she asked, "The nobles have occupied a lot of people's land. We don't need to just kill him, right? I know his family is coarse and they value money more."

Zhu Yunhuan asked with a smile, "What if it involves tea and iron? What if he uses your name and his men go to Mobei and Monan?"

Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing widened their eyes, and Zhu Yourong and Zhu Youling also became frightened.

This is a crime more serious than occupying people's land. This is smuggling, and the smuggling of things is expressly prohibited by the emperor!
Zhu Yunxun sighed and said, "He looks decent and he was educated. But his cleverness is all in crooked ways. He doesn't dare to do anything wrong in front of my aunt. Don't talk about him in private. His family members are all domineering and rich. They all think that they have a golden ticket to avoid death because of my aunt's status."

Seeing that the two aunts were still in a daze, Zhu Yunhuan stood up and said, "The youngest aunt is in the East Palace, and the eldest aunt should not go back yet, just stay and talk. I will send someone to tell my uncle later, if he is worried about my cousin, please bring him over."

Princess Ningguo said quickly, "No need to bring her here. There are people in the mansion who can take care of her."

"That's good." Zhu Yunhuan didn't force it, and said, "Then I will leave the palace, and this matter will definitely be handled. By the way, eldest aunt, think carefully about whether the young aunt has someone she likes?"

Princess Anqing was furious, "You, you are precocious, why are you so frivolous?"

Princess Ningguo said quickly, "I remember mentioning it before, but I don't know if that person has a wife now."

"I'm already this old, how could he not have a wife?" Princess Anqing said with some sadness, "After this incident, I'm afraid I'll be left alone."

Zhu Yunhuan was unhappy. "My aunt is not even thirty, how can this happen! I will find someone right away. If I can't find someone from a noble family, there are still some Jinshi candidates from the previous exam. But we have to look carefully for the person and his family background. We can't let my grandfather interfere in this matter, he only cares about the world."

Princess Ningguo was anxious, "You, can't you say less?"

Zhu Yunhuan stood up, picked up the sword hanging on the wall and was about to leave, "Aunt, then you should help me with the advice!"

Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing were startled and suddenly realized that some decorations in the Eastern Palace seemed different.

"I just like to wield swords and guns. When I wake up early, I either practice with the sword or the gun."

"He always quarrels with the royal grandfather. The two quarrel fiercely, but they never hurt each other."
