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

When Zhu Gang heard what Zhu Kai said, he nodded slightly.

"I absolutely do not refute what Second Brother said. There are some things that can only be done best by yourself. Even if you tell me little by little what we should do, we are still a little confused."

"You two are right. Right now, you don't have the skills to make such a high-end drink. I will teach you when I plan to open a shop in the future."

The Crown Princess was completely stunned when she heard Zhu Kai say these words.

"Open a shop? Prince, did I hear you right? You want to open a shop. You are a prince of the Ming Dynasty, with such a noble status, and you are also the son of the emperor. If you open a shop like this, I'm afraid you will be laughed at."

The Crown Princess was also giving good advice. She had no ill intentions. She just felt that it was inappropriate and unjust for Zhu Kai to do such a thing given his status. Zhu Kai would not be angry because he was giving good advice.

The Crown Princess was also a little hesitant to speak out, fearing that it would anger Zhu Kai and affect the brotherly relationship between him and the Crown Prince.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so cautious, what you said is right, and I can listen to it.

Good medicine tastes bitter, unpalatable advice help line.

Only if we are close family members can you tell me these things. If you regard me as an enemy, you will never say such things to me. The more outrageous the things I do, the better it is for you. I am not an ungrateful person. "

When Ma Xiuying heard Zhu Kai say this, she laughed.

"Crown Princess, you see, Zhu Kai is a well-educated and reasonable man, but even I, his mother, and the Emperor do not understand his thoughts and ideas.

Forget it. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is stable and it is enough to have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in control.

Let Zhu Kai do whatever he wants to do. Just like he said, enjoy life to the fullest.

Life is short, so we should use our limited life to do things that make us happy. Why should we indulge in pain and the constraints of etiquette all day long?

When Zhu Kai heard what Ma Xiuying said, he was completely shocked and moved.

This is not a person who can say such words under a feudal system. No wonder Queen Ma was favored in history. This is enough to show that she was a very visionary woman.

If she lived in modern times, she would definitely not become a pendant on Zhu Yuanzhang, or an adjective to describe Zhu Yuanzhang as great. She would become an independent and strong woman. It must be like that.

Zhu Kai was not wrong. Perhaps it was because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang was so successful.

It is true that behind every successful man there is a woman. No, to be more precise, behind every successful man there is a capable woman.

"Mother, from what you said, I mean that the emperor has agreed that I can open a shop outside?"

"He hasn't agreed yet, but I am confident that I can help you persuade the emperor. I can't guarantee whether this will succeed, but I can only say that the emperor is not as resistant to him as before.

As long as you can stabilize the Ming Dynasty, what do you want to do? The emperor doesn't care about that. All this is for the Ming Dynasty."

Did Zhu Kai hear that? Xiuying knew that this was not impossible.

This made him even happier and he immediately rolled up his sleeves.

"Zhu Kai, what are you doing? No matter how happy you are, you still have to consider etiquette. The Crown Princess is still here. What on earth are you doing with your sleeves rolled up like this?"

"Mother, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the Crown Princess is not an outsider. I am so happy to hear you say this.

I am a person who must do something once I get excited. I decided to prepare the drinks for today's family dinner for you. I guarantee that you have never tasted anything like it before."

When Xu Miaoyun heard this, she hurried forward and personally took care of Zhu Kai's clothes.

"Your Highness, it's too hard for you to do it alone. Why don't I come with you? We are not strangers here anyway. If we accomplish these things together, it can be regarded as a gift to our father and mother."

When Zhu Kai heard this, he did not refuse. He smiled and nodded.

"Well, if that's the case, then let's arrange it this way. Anyway, these things will take time, so there's absolutely no need to rush.

I see that my father and his men will not be back in the short term, and it will take a lot of time for the imperial kitchen to prepare food for tonight."

Zhu Di was standing next to him at this time like an outsider, but Zhu Kai still took his heart into consideration. He knew that this child had been sensitive since childhood and his psychological problems had to be taken into consideration.

"Zhu Di, you can come with us tonight. If you feel that you have nothing to do, just follow me and Second Sister-in-law. We will help you make these things clear and understand them clearly."

Ma Xiuying had already thought of bringing Xu Miaoyun's sister Xu Miaojin and Zhu Di together, but he still had to discuss this matter with Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed, he would not dare to mention it to others casually.

In fact, they had a tacit understanding. Zhu Kai also thought of this. Since he had forced Xu Miaoyun away, he had to give Zhu Di a good wife.

"In that case, then you can go quickly. If you need anything, just go find the head chef of the imperial kitchen."

The Crown Princess still felt that it was a little against etiquette for Zhu Kai of his status to do it himself, but she couldn't say anything more, nor did she want to pour cold water on Zhu Kai. Seeing how happy he was, the atmosphere of the family dinner tonight would definitely be very good.

Just as Zhu Di was about to turn around and leave, Ma Xiuying stopped him.

"Although Concubine Xi is pregnant, she is not too far along now, so she can walk around. Since tonight is a family dinner, your biological mother cannot be absent.

Don't go with Zhu Kai and the others. Go to your mother's place and invite him over to attend the family dinner tonight."

When Zhu Di heard what Ma Xiuying said, he was really moved and grateful, and at the same time, he was very surprised.

"Empress, my mother..."

"You don't have to consider the emperor's thoughts and ideas, this matter is decided by me.

The emperor makes the decisions on matters of the former court, and I, the queen, make the decisions on matters of the harem. The emperor won't say anything about the plot. Your mother, as long as she is willing to come, can come anytime."

When Zhu Di heard what Queen Ma said, he was deeply moved.

"Queen, I..."

"Zhu Di, you don't have to say anything. In fact, I have already said everything I should have said to you. Today is our family dinner, and it doesn't matter if we don't talk about anything.

As for the rest, the emperor will not object. Go and bring your mother over. It is a rare opportunity for you and your son to be together. It is really not easy. You must cherish it."

Ma Xiuying is still a woman with a very broad mind. When Zhu Kai heard this, he quickly stepped forward to comfort Zhu Di.

"Since the Queen has said so, you should not hesitate any longer.

Go and pick up Concubine Yi. Tonight is a rare time for our family to be together. After the New Year, I might have to go somewhere even further.

If you want to go with me, you will still have to leave your mother, and I don’t know when we will meet again.”

Zhu Di was moved when he saw that Zhu Kai and Empress Ma were so kind-hearted and wanted to reunite mother and son.

It seemed that he had not followed his second brother for such a long time in vain. His second brother was quite good to him, so he didn't say anything else.

"Thank you, Queen. I will go and invite my mother now."

Zhu Kai thought that in order to make things right and return a favor to Zhu Di, he must successfully bring Zhu Di and Xu Miaojin together so that he could fulfill his own wish.

However, the person who would be most opposed to this matter now should be his father-in-law, Xu Da. He only has two daughters, and he does not want both of his daughters to marry Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. The pressure is too great.

Although he had reached the highest position that a minister could achieve, and because of this, his daughter lived a life of luxury and wanted to find freedom for her.

Marrying the emperor's son is not a good thing. Although Xu Miaoyun is relatively happy now, it is still very hard for her to be busy and hard-working with Zhu Kai.

He loves his daughter, so he would not consider this matter at all. So many people still have some misunderstandings about them.

Zhu Kai has already changed the course of history, so he is not afraid to change it again.

Looking at the Crown Princess in front of him, whose belly was already so big and yet she had to work hard to come to the palace, he felt very sympathetic towards this woman, and he also knew that the child in her belly would not live before the age of 10.

"Sister-in-law, how do you feel now? I know you are pregnant and can't drink alcohol. I want to make some fruit tea, but you can't drink it either. How about this? I'll make you some fruit milk, which you must have never tasted before.

It is both nutritious and delicious, so that you won’t be greedy when you see that we all have something delicious to drink.”

When Xu Miaoyun heard Zhu Kai say this, she immediately pushed him gently.

"How can you talk to the Crown Princess like this? My sister-in-law is the Crown Princess, how could she be greedy? It sounds really rude."

"I have always been a straightforward person. I say whatever comes to my mind without caring about anything else. Anyway, I believe the Crown Princess will not be angry."

"Of course I won't be angry. We are all family."

The Crown Princess smiled gently. After saying these words, Zhu Kai could understand. He had always been a man without rules. Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying knew their son too well.

Ma Xiuying also said with a frown.

"Alright, alright, go get something to drink and stop being a nuisance here."

Zhu Kai nodded with a smile and prepared to leave, Xu Miaoyun also quickly stood up and said.

"Mother, if that's the case, then I'll go help the prince. It might be faster for the two of us to do it together."

Ma Xiuying asked the maid beside her to hold Xu Miaoyun back.

"You shouldn't go with him. It's a rare occasion when he wants to perform well, so give him a chance as your only son to perform well.

Miaoyun, usually you take care of my son more often, so let him find a chance to take good care of you today. Let's have a good chat here as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and let them go to work.

Zhu Kai has so many brothers around him who can help him, why bother you alone? Rest well here, this is the order from me as your mother-in-law."

After Ma Xiuying said this, Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded.

"Since the Queen Mother has said so, then Your Majesty will have to go himself."

"Go ahead..."

Zhu Kai was very proud. He was able to see that the relationship between Xu Miaoyun and Ma Xiuying was so harmonious, and he naturally felt gratified.

Although he didn't care about the status of the crown prince, who doesn't want to be valued in front of their parents? Even though Zhu Kai was a time traveler, he still hoped to be valued by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang stood there in a daze, also at a loss as to what to do.

"What are you still standing here for? Come with me and help me, I'm going to show you my skills tonight.

In addition to the fine wine, I am preparing something else that will open your eyes and I guarantee you have never seen it before."

Zhu Chong has always acted like a prince.

"Second brother, I say you don't have to do everything yourself. There are so many servants in the imperial kitchen, just let them do it. It's not good for you to do everything yourself..."

"Don't call me a slave all the time. Didn't I tell you that?"

Zhu Kai wanted to talk about his theory of equality for all again, but today Empress Ma and the Crown Princess were here, so Zhu Kai thought about it and swallowed the words back.

"As for Zhu Di, let him go with my second brother. I want to have a good rest. My wedding with Guanyin Nu will be arranged in a few days, and I want to take advantage of this time to enjoy some time alone."

"What do you mean by alone time? Do you still want to have a bachelor party?"

“What’s a bachelorette party?”

"It's just that a man or a woman gets together with his or her friends before getting married. It's useless for me to tell you this now, but don't worry, your wedding will be in the hands of my second brother.

Second brother will help you prepare a super luxurious and grand bachelor party, invite all the men of the royal nobles to attend, and will definitely not embarrass you.

I believe that the emperor will definitely give the planning rights for your wedding to your second brother. When the time comes, you can wait for your second brother to give you a grand wedding. Just think of it as my apology for you. I have concealed it from you for so long and I have to make it up to you." (End of this chapter)
