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

When Concubine Yi heard this, she felt very happy, thinking that Empress Ma had not forgotten him.

"The Queen asked you to come to me?"

"Yes, the Queen said it herself. Concubine Xi is also the Fifth Prince's biological daughter. So everyone should be present at today's family dinner."

Concubine Yi was very happy at first, but when she heard Zhu Kai say that it was the Queen Mother's order and the Emperor did not speak, she hesitated.

"Empress Xi, you don't have to hesitate. In fact, this matter is very simple. As long as you agree to go with us, there will be no problem."

"The Queen is indeed magnanimous and willing to let me go with you, but the Emperor hasn't spoken yet, so I am still a little hesitant.

You also know that you have just returned from the border, and your identities are somewhat sensitive. If the emperor knew about this matter and he disagreed, it would be terrible and would also implicate you. "

"My Lady, you are so kindhearted that you even consider us. You know, in front of my father and mother, I never care about these things, and I am also relatively free.

My father and mother both know that I am a person who does not follow any rules. Anyway, today is a family dinner, so there is no need to feel so much pressure. Wang Baobao and Guanyinnu have not returned yet, and I have no intention of inviting them.

You don't have to think too much, and the Queen Mother has said that today is a family dinner so everyone should be present.

Otherwise, this matter will be difficult to handle. If those people with ulterior motives in the palace see it, they will think that the Queen Mother cannot tolerate you."

When Concubine Yi heard what Zhu Kai said, she found it difficult to refute it.

"Well, since you've already said this, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to refuse, but this will be a bit troublesome for Your Majesty."

"My mother said that it is not easy to get everyone together. After the New Year, the princes who have been given titles will probably go their separate ways. It is not easy for a family to be together."

"Yes, children will definitely leave when they grow up. Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no one can stay in the capital for a long time."

"Mother, please don't say such things. If those who are trying to sow discord hear it, they will think that I have some ideas about the position of the crown prince."

"Yes, it was my mother who was a little careless. If that's the case, I'll pack up and go with you guys."

When Xu Miaoyun heard this, she hurried forward to support Zhu Di's mother.

"Empress Xi, you should be careful with your current health. The prince said tonight that he wants to personally prepare something for everyone that we have never eaten before."

When Concubine Xi heard Xu Miaoyun say this, he was very surprised.

"I've never eaten anything like that before. What is that?"

"It's something you've never eaten before, and it's something I've wanted to eat for a long time. I even think about it in my dreams."

Zhu Di said quickly.

"Wagyu? Brother, you said you wanted to eat Wagyu."

"There are so many things I want to eat, hamburgers, pizza, pasta, I'm thinking about each of them, but I haven't eaten these things since I came here, so let me show you how good I am tonight."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said.

“Since I’ve been with the prince, I’ve never heard of many of the foods he talks about. They’re simply unheard of. But every time he makes them, I still find them quite novel.

Her Majesty, the Queen has already asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes.

Your Majesty, since you want to show off your skills, then give him a chance. If you like the food, eat more.

After all, you are pregnant now, so the taste must be unique. If you are not used to it, you don’t have to force yourself. Your Majesty doesn’t care about it.”

"It's true that pregnancy is quite unique. There are some things that I usually like to eat that I'm not used to eating now. So, Zhu Kai, you go and prepare them first. It's all out of my heart.

Even if I don't eat it, the Emperor and the Empress will have to eat some. I believe that the wonderful ideas in your mind must be foods we have never seen before, otherwise you wouldn't have kept us waiting in advance."

Zhu Kai thought about preparing some Western food for them tonight to open their eyes. He hadn't eaten these things for a long time, although he didn't like Western food very much.

Although I haven't eaten it for a long time, I still miss it.

I also want to eat some sushi and sashimi, but I'll have to wait until the next chance to eat these things. At least Zhu Yuanzhang and the others probably can't accept raw food, especially raw meat.

"My Lord, what are you thinking about?"

"I haven't eaten Japanese food for a long time. I really want to eat some sashimi and sashimi."

"Sashimi? I've heard of this. When my father went to the South, he said that people there like to eat sashimi, which means they put the fish directly into the seasoning after it is caught. They say it is very fresh and you can't taste any fishy smell."

"So people in the south already started eating raw fish at this time. Have you ever eaten sashimi? You definitely haven't."

"Sashimi? What is that? We've only heard of assassins."

When Zhu Kai heard what Zhu Di said, he was completely upset.

“These two things are totally unrelated.

Sashimi is raw meat, fish, beef, or even chicken. Of course, I am not used to eating chicken, and there is no sterile processor at that time.

Eating raw food will definitely have parasites, and your current medical level is limited, so there is no way to deworm even if you are infected with parasites.

If the parasites get into my brain, I'll be dead. Forget it. I don't want to risk my life just to eat something. I'm not a hopeless foodie."

As Zhu Kai spoke, he looked at the surprised looks of the people around him. He felt very embarrassed. It was really uncomfortable that no one had a common language with him at this time.

Even Xu Miaoyun had accepted his novel ideas and various strange behaviors, but she still found it difficult to accept what he said. The key was that she couldn't understand him. Once there was a language barrier between two people, communication would become very difficult.

"My Lady Concubine Xi, you don't have to worry about this. In fact, the prince usually speaks like this, and it sounds confusing, but he has his own logic. He is not crazy, so you don't have to be afraid. My Lord, stop talking, be careful not to scare My Lady Concubine Xi..."

Concubine Yi had heard others talk about Zhu Kai before.

I heard from others that he always talked incoherently, as if he was crazy. I rarely had the opportunity to interact with Zhu Kai, and I could only see him once or twice a year.

Originally, he thought that what people outside said was a bit too exaggerated. No matter what, Zhu Kai was the emperor's son and the crown prince's brother. It shouldn't be as exaggerated as they said. Who could have thought that this would be the case.

Concubine Xi was holding her belly beside him. If Xu Miaoyun hadn't explained it just now, he would have really thought that the guy in front of him was crazy. He couldn't understand a word he said.

Zhu Di saw that his mother was a little frightened and quickly explained.

"Mother, please don't misunderstand my second brother. He is usually like this. He just likes to joke around. There are some things you may not understand.

But even though I'm with him every day, I still don't understand.

Second brother, it's like he's an alien. Maybe he has more knowledge than us, and it's normal that we don't understand what he says."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Seeing is believing. I've heard about Zhu Kai's affairs a long time ago. I thought the people outside were lying."

Zhu Kai also smiled awkwardly.

"My Lady, please don't misunderstand me. I'm really not crazy. I just like it this way. Maybe I've been depressed for too long. Usually, no one can talk to me or listen to the voices in my heart."

"Isn't it enough for Xu Miaoyun to be by your side?"

"Ah? Madam Concubine Xi, please don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant.

I am lucky to have Xu Miaoyun by my side, but he may not understand some of the things I say, but we get along relatively harmoniously. "

When Zhu Kai said this, he had a hunch that the other party would definitely take advantage of the fact that no one was around to get to the point, which was to discuss the matter between Zhu Di and Xu Miaojin.

"Zhu Kai, since you have been taking care of his house for more than a year, I think he is not young anymore, so you should think about his lifelong affairs."

"Mother, this matter still has to be decided by our father. We can't just discuss it here. If our father knew that we were just casually discussing such important life events, he would probably be unhappy.

Don't be anxious just because your third brother is about to get married. I'm still young, and I don't want to have my own fiefdom now.

I want to spend more time with my second brother, follow him, and study hard. He taught me a lot of things, and even if I don’t understand, I can understand that what he said is the truth.

If I get a title, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to my own territory.

By then, I still don’t have enough experience, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle many things on my own. So let me stay with my second brother for a few more years and learn from him. It won’t do any harm to me.”

"Zhu Di, he has always been a humble child. In fact, he can't learn much from me, and he may not understand what I tell him.

But he has always been very humble and willing to learn. Humility makes people progress. He can achieve what he has today entirely because of his perseverance. "

Concubine Yi heard that Zhu Di had been refusing this matter, because she was not sure that Zhu Kai would agree after her mother said it. If Zhu Kai refused.

On the contrary, it might affect the relationship between the brothers. He knew deeply that he only had Zhu Kai and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. These two brothers were sincere and kind to him.

If they offended both of their brothers, then there would be no place for them, mother and son, in the entire court.

Seeing that the mother was about to give birth to another child, this little baby in the cradle could not play any role.

They still have to rely on Zhu Di to support them. He doesn't dare to make any decisions casually now, and he doesn't dare to offend a big shot like Zhu Kai easily.

Concubine Yi knew very well that Zhu Kai was a very smart person.

Zhu Kai should have seen through his thoughts now. The most important thing is to be less tricky and more sincere. It would be better for him to say it directly in front of Zhu Kai.

He is also a straightforward person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. If he thinks it's appropriate, everyone can work together to discuss the next plan. If he thinks it's not appropriate, the matter will be dropped.

"Your Highness, the emperor's sons are all getting old. The emperor will arrange suitable marriages for them one after another. I was wondering, since you brothers have such a good relationship, why not get married to each other?"

Xu Miaoyun sighed helplessly.

"Do you think there's anything inappropriate about it? You only have this one sister by your side now. If you can bring them together, I think they're a perfect match made in heaven.

You already have a very good relationship, so adding another relationship to it will bind you together firmly."

"Mother! Have you been feeling unwell lately? You've become stupid.

What my father hates most is forming cliques for personal gain. If he knew that you want me and my second brother to be linked together, he would definitely not be happy. It is better not to talk about this matter anymore. If things go wrong, it will implicate my second sister-in-law's family."

Zhu Di didn't want his mother to tell this matter, and it would be awkward for their relationship if Zhu Kai disagreed.

Zhu Kai stood there without saying anything. In just a few minutes, the other party had already felt the heavy pressure.

"Oh... I see. If that's the case, let's not continue talking about many things."

Concubine Yi thought that Zhu Kai's silence meant he wanted to reject him, but she didn't expect that after a long silence, Zhu Kai smiled.

"My Lady, I think you must have misunderstood. I didn't mean to refuse. I didn't say anything just now because I wanted to see your determination. In fact, I think Xu Miaojin and Zhu Di are a good match."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded.

"My Lady, I will tell you the truth. In fact, the prince and I have discussed this topic a long time ago, but at that time they were still relatively young and not yet at the age of marriage.

It is legitimate to discuss this matter now, but I am afraid it is not easy to say to my father. He only has two daughters, and I am already married. He still wants to keep my sister at home for a few more years. I am afraid he is reluctant to agree easily. "(End of this chapter)
