Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's arrangements are indeed very thoughtful, more comprehensive than what we women have thought of. I will go to the carriage and call Guanyin slave down now."

"Please don't bother asking the princess to go in person for this matter. Let me go and call my sister down."

"Wang Baobao, you stay here. Maybe the prince and the others have other plans. It's not convenient for me to stay here. I'm going to look for Guanyin Nu. There's no maid around. Even I didn't bring any maid back."

"This……"

Zhu Kai saw that Wang Baobao was a little nervous, so he quickly spoke to him.

"Since the princess has said so, and he is not afraid of trouble or tiredness, let him go."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Princess."

Xu Miaoyun nodded and left the room. He was finally able to persuade Zhu Kai to calm down, and he was no longer as anxious as before.

At this time, Xu Miaoyun was most grateful that he could get off the carriage quickly. If he hadn't come out to persuade Zhu Kai, who knows how long the quarrel would have lasted.

It has been delayed for too long, and the emperor will think too much if he finds out.

They just came back from the border and so many troubles have occurred. I wonder how many people in the court will be dissatisfied with Zhu Kai?
Xu Miaoyun came to the carriage while thinking.

When Guanyinnu saw Xu Miaoyun coming back, she hurriedly asked with concern.

"Princess, what's going on in the house? Why haven't they come to an agreement yet?"

"Guanyin slave, there is no need to be so anxious. There is nothing going on in the house. They have almost finished their discussion. I just want you to get off the carriage quickly.

The room has been prepared for you, and His Royal Highness has arranged two maids to serve you. You know you didn't bring your own people from the border tribe."

Guanyin Nu was a little embarrassed and lowered his head and said.

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would remember such a small matter. We are really embarrassed.

In fact, we are all girls who grew up on horseback. Even in our tribe, I rarely ask for help from others. Most of the time, I do everything myself. "

"Just think of it as when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

In our Ming Dynasty, all people of noble status have people serving them, so how can we let you do it yourself? And you will also be a noble woman of noble status in the future, so you have to get used to having people serving you."

After Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, she took Guanyinnu off the carriage.

He bypassed Zhu Kai and took Xu Miaoyun directly to the place that had been arranged for him in the room where they were.

"This room is indeed a little shabby, but this is a government post after all. Plus, there are so many people protecting you, so you don't need to worry about your safety. These two will take care of your daily life for the next few days."

Xu Miaoyun looked at the room and found it to be fresh and elegant. Although it was not very luxurious or comfortable, it was carefully arranged. It was obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed very attentive.

This is also a manifestation of the fact that the prince cares about his younger brother Zhu Kai. He made careful preparations only when he knew that Zhu Kai would bring Wang Baobao and his sister back.

These things prevented Zhu Kai from losing face in front of outsiders. Wang Baobao knew that Zhu Kai, as a prince, was very powerful in the capital. This gave Zhu Kai enough face and made others respect him more.

Guanyin Nu was also moved by Xu Miaoyun, and could only show a little relaxation in front of him.

He came to this room, he had never lived in Zhongyuan's room before.

"Please also thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince on my behalf for their careful arrangements."

"As long as you feel comfortable, we are worried that you might not be able to adapt to the local climate during the journey. Do you feel uncomfortable? Are you hungry? After we leave, someone will prepare dinner for you."

"Princess, I never thought that you and the prince would take such good care of us. This can be considered as leaving home. With your care, I am finally not so nervous."

"When we were in the border tribe before, you took good care of us. We should do this to repay your kindness, but I still have to give you a few words of advice."

"Princess, please speak."

Xu Miaoyun pulled Guanyin Nu to the window.

"Look at this street outside. It's very busy during the day, with many shops setting up stalls here."

Guanyinnu had never seen such a scene before, so of course he was very excited.

"Really? Then tomorrow morning I will be able to see the prosperity of the capital."

"That's exactly what I want to tell you about. Tomorrow morning there will be stalls outside, and the streets will definitely be very busy. But for now, you guys shouldn't join in the fun."

"Why is this?"

“I have to make it clear to you in advance so that you won’t misunderstand.

You have come to the capital, and are considered foreigners. Plus, your clothes are different from those worn by ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. If you walk outside, people will treat you as strange people and surround you to stare at you.

This is still a little too dangerous. You should stay in the inn for now and don't go out.

Wait for news from me and the prince. After we have made all the arrangements, we will take you for a walk around the streets.

Without the prince's order, you'd better not go out. Otherwise, if you are stopped by the imperial guards outside, they will think that you are to be placed under house arrest. I'm saying this in advance to avoid such misunderstandings."

Xu Miaoyun had made everything clear beforehand, so the two of them could be mentally prepared.

After hearing this, Guanyin Nu felt a little disappointed, but felt that what Xu Miaoyun said made sense. They really shouldn't be too ostentatious, so she had no choice but to listen to the other party.

"Princess, thank you for informing us in advance. This will avoid a lot of misunderstandings. In this case, we will not go out and wait for news from the prince."

"The main thing is to not let you think too much. You have to prepare in advance. You never know when the emperor will summon you on a whim. It won't hurt to prepare in advance."

After Xu Miaoyun gave these instructions, she said to Guanyin Nu.

"I have told you everything I need to say. You should go to bed early. If you need anything, just tell these two maids. They will help you arrange it. I will not disturb you for now."

"Yes, Princess, you should go back and rest early."

Afterwards, Xu Miaoyun left Guanyinnu's room and came to Zhu Kai and the others.

"How about it?"

"Your Highness, Prince, don't worry. I have already made arrangements for Guanyinnu. He is ready to rest, so we can go now."

Zhu Kai looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was now tired and sleepy, and could hardly open her eyes. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Okay, let's get ready to go back to the mansion. We haven't been back for such a long time, and I don't know if there is anyone to take care of it."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled and said.

"Second brother, you worry about too many things all day long.

Even if you are not in the capital, your mansion has many servants guarding it.

And before you came back, the Queen Mother had already sent people to clean up and tidy up the place, to ensure that you live comfortably and won't give you any chance to complain."

"My mother is the one who thinks things through. In that case, we will prepare to go back. I will have to trouble Li Wenzhong to guard here tonight. I am sorry for his hard work."

When Li Wenzhong heard what Zhu Kai said, he quickly replied.

"King Sai, this is what I should do. It is not hard work. It is getting late. Your Highness the Crown Prince and all the princes please go back and rest."

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang knew that they were about to separate from Zhu Kai, and they felt a little reluctant.

Zhu Kai couldn't help laughing when he saw their aggrieved expressions.

"Why are you two so sad? You will be returning to the palace to see your father, the emperor and your mother soon. You should be happy."

Zhu Chong sighed and said.

"Brother, we are not sad because we are unhappy, but because we are about to be separated from you. For more than a year, we have been following you like a shadow.

Now let's go back to the palace, and you go back to your own residence. Isn't this the same as parting with you? Naturally, you'll feel a little down."

Zhu Gang nodded quickly and said.

"Yes, Third Brother is right. I feel the same way. I am just too used to being with Second Brother. Also, I am a little nervous when I return to the palace to see Father. I am afraid that I will not do well and disappoint Father."

"I say that you two are simply worrying about nothing. After all, the emperor is our biological father. Even though he has the majesty of an emperor, he will not eat people.

What are you doing with all this affectation?
Come back with big brother quickly and have some rest. You can afford the delay. Big brother is also tired.

After such a long time, you are waiting for us at the city gate. We have to take you to see our father, the emperor and the queen. You can't just think about yourself, you have to think about your elder brother too."

Zhu Kai knew very well that Crown Prince Zhu Biao had not been in good health. After such a long period of hardship, he must have been exhausted and had just been enduring it.

If Zhu Yuanzhang saw his most beloved son so tired, he would definitely be very angry.

Wang Baobao also smiled and said.

"The two princes have been with His Highness Zhu Kai for a long time, and suddenly they seem a little reluctant to leave him."

"Wang Baobao, we're going back first. You should have a good rest in the inn. Also, don't leave casually. Don't wander around the streets without the emperor's order."

"Your Highness, don't worry. Even if you don't say it, I understand that our identities are special and we can't just walk around in the capital. I understand this.

We will wait in the inn until the emperor summons us."

Seeing Wang Baobao's humble look, Zhu Kai finally felt relieved and no longer had to worry so much.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao left the inn with his men and prepared to return to the palace.

Zhu Kai also arranged for Xu Miaoyun to sit in the carriage first, and he gave instructions to the prince while riding on the horse.

"Brother, let's separate here today. You have worked so hard today. You will have to take them to see Father and Mother when you return. Please don't forget my instructions to you."

"Second brother, when did you become so fussy?

Is it impossible for me to do what I promised you? I will take them back now, and you should go back and have a rest. You don't have to worry about your brother all the time.

Big brother's physical condition is still good. You can't stand standing at the city gate for a while? I'm not as fragile as you think. Although I'm not a military commander, I'm not that weak. "

Zhu Kai felt relieved when he heard the prince say this.

Zhu Di, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di followed the prince on horseback.

Li Wenzhong stayed to protect Wang Baobao, and the men parted ways.

Zhu Kai took General Lan Yu and prepared to walk towards his own mansion.

Looking back and seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was leading these people further and further away, Zhu Kai stopped and said to Lan Yu.

"General Lan Yu, you have worked hard on this journey, go back and rest early.

The princess, the princess, and the few attendants around me will go back together. You don't have to continue to see us off. I'm sure your family has heard about your return and has been waiting for you to come back and have a reunion dinner."

General Lan Yu smiled and said.

"Be a good person to the end. Escorting the prince is my job. It's only a few steps to the prince's mansion. It's also on my way back. Let's go."

Zhu Kai looked at General Lan Yu, who insisted on sending him back with him, and he did not refuse.

Xu Miaoyun was feeling uneasy in the carriage.

She knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had his own purpose for coming back this time. Although he missed his father Xu Da very much, he did not dare to go home casually for fear of causing trouble for Zhu Kai. There were too many people in the court who were watching them.

General Lan Yu followed Zhu Kai and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Highnesses are really a little too dependent on the prince. If the emperor saw them like this, I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy."

General Lan Yu was reminding Zhu Kai that he could be nice to his brothers, but they were the emperor's family after all, and were different from ordinary families.

There must be a limit to everything you do. If Zhu Yuanzhang saw how good the brotherhood between them was, he would feel that the prince was isolated, which would be bad for everyone.

Zhu Kai was of course a very smart man. He immediately understood the implication of General Lan Yu's words and said with a smile.

"General Lan Yu, I know what you said. They have always been like this. I believe they will not show that they are too dependent on me in front of the emperor."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince hasn't thought too much about this matter."

"Big Brother has always been kind and generous, and he is a sincere brother to us brothers. Of course, he would not use such thoughts to speculate about us. I am very sure of this, and I have great confidence in Big Brother.

However, it is not certain whether other people in the court will make a fuss about this matter. "(End of this chapter)
