Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 167 There is a kind of virtue in you.

As she spoke, Concubine Guo Hui's smile grew wider.

He smiled at Zhu Xiongying, "Brother Ying, you are both a son and a grandson, who are you born to!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Xiaowan.

Immediately, Xu Xiaowan's cheeks glowed, but she gave Zhu Xiongying a reproachful look.

When adults tease children, they think they don't know anything.In fact, they don't know, they know everything.

"You, don't tease my brother Ying!" Empress Ma laughed, "I heard from the crown prince that you have chosen a good wife for your son, Eleven!" She said with a smile, "The daughter of Lan Yu's family is like a flower!"

"Hey!" Concubine Guo Hui smiled and sighed slightly, "I want to raise my son and hope to grow up. When he grows up, he will forget his mother when he has a wife! In the future, he will marry a wife and have children, so I will step aside!" Then, she said with some melancholy, "One day In a blink of an eye, I'm going to be a grandmother too, getting old!"

"You are old when you are young!" Empress Ma laughed, "Compared to me, you are still young!"

"In the past, with my sons by my side, there was always a bit of excitement." Concubine Guo Hui said, "Seeing that all the sons are going to go to the palace, I am left alone in this palace, hey!"

Suddenly, she spoke sadly.

The surrounding concubines also felt sad.

For the women in the palace, those who have sons are lucky, they can somewhat look forward to and miss them.But those who don’t have sons, they are okay when they are young, but when they are old, they will be lonely and alone.

Even if there is a son, if the son is crowned king and goes away in the future, he will spend the rest of his life in the palace.

A palace is a city, those who come in cannot get out!
Outsiders think this is a fairyland.As everyone knows, it's bleak here.

"Why are you talking about this so well?" Empress Ma said, "You, you've been thinking about all this all day long! You're still in front of the child!" Then she said to Zhu Xiongying, "Brother Ying, Go play with Xiao Wan. You two haven't seen each other for a while, so talk to each other!"

"What can I say to a little girl?"

Zhu Xiongying slandered in his heart, but he still agreed on his face.

"Jia Gui, bring people to serve you well, bring more fruit and honey water, don't make them thirsty and hungry!" Empress Ma continued.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

~~~
In the Tingchao Pavilion near the lake, away from Empress Ma and the others, Zhu Xiongying and Xu Xiaowan came in one after the other, and then sat by the window, looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

The scenery outside is pleasant, the breeze blows in from the window, brushing up Xiaowan's black hair, making her skin more round.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying slightly raised her head, and under Xiaowan's surprised gaze, straightened her hair.

Before she knew it, Xiao Wan blushed to the base of her ears.

"Is Your Highness sick?" Xiao Wan asked in a low voice.

"No, I'm just a little tired these days!" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

Xu Xiaowan wrinkled her nose, "Your Highness is lying, you obviously smell like medicine?" As she spoke, she looked at Zhu Xiongying with big eyes, "I heard from my mother that Your Highness has not been in good health since childhood!"

"Don't worry, I won't die early!" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

Xiao Wan was a little displeased, "Why do you just say that you are dead or not?" As she spoke, she smiled slightly, showing dimples, "You need to practice more martial arts to be strong!"

"How do you know that practicing martial arts makes you stronger?" Zhu Xiongying leaned back and smiled casually.

"My grandfather said that the brothers and sisters in my family are led by the soldiers every day, riding horses, archery, fists, kicks and sticks!" Xu Xiaowan said, "After a day of practice, they are not tired. They also go up trees to catch birds on weekdays. , Go down to the river to catch fish. Everything tastes delicious, and everything you do is energetic. Throughout the year, I don’t see them getting sick once!”

"During the Chinese New Year, the third brother of the second uncle's family set off firecrackers and set off grandfather's study. My grandfather carried a broom and chased him for a stick of incense, but he didn't catch up, and he was exhausted!"

"Grandfather said, man, you must have this kind of spirit. If you are not tired, not lacking, and have endless energy in your body, then you are a good man!"

The little girl chattered, and at first Zhu Xiongying listened with a smile on her face.Listen, listen, feel a little invincible.

In addition to sleeping and eating every day, I really haven't exercised well.Not to mention that he didn't practice martial arts diligently, he was so-so in bow and arrow, and he had to be assisted by guards to barely control the horse when riding.

"Your Highness is weak, so you should practice!" Xu Xiaowan said again, "If not, when you grow up, you will get sick every three days, and the medicine will never leave your body. Not to mention military affairs, even small things at home will be unsustainable!"

"Furthermore, the Great Ming Dynasty thrives on martial arts, and His Highness has a high status. If you are weak in the future, how can you give advice?"

"Although Xiaowan is a woman, she can still study. In the history books, whether it is Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu, who is not a strong and strong man who rides on horses to rule the army and dismounts herdsmen. Weak body is not good after all!"

She was robbed by this little girl with a righteous speech.Zhu Xiongying didn't feel any anger in his heart, on the contrary, his heart was still warm.

He listened to the other party's words, and looked at this innocent but serious little girl in front of him, and suddenly felt a different temperament in her.

"Your Highness is bored in the palace, you can come to my house for a ride. I will let my brothers take His Highness to ride a horse!" As she said, Xiao Wan pouted, "Well, if my brothers are not good at riding, I will ask my father and uncle , my grandfather often said that their bow horses are considered to be a little bit successful, and they can meet people!"

"There are still many wrestlers in my family!" Xiao Wan laughed, her eyes were like crescent moons, "many of them were Mongolian warriors that my grandfather subdued when he conquered Mobei. They were all very big, and when they wrestled, they made loud noises! "

"Your Highness, I'll let them wrestle for you! You won't be able to compete in the next match. First, you are weak, so you must not be their opponent. My family's Bayin, even his father can't beat him. Second, your identity Precious, I'm afraid they will hurt you!"

"Grandfather said that Mongolians ride horses, shoot arrows and wrestle, just like we Han people farm and raise silkworms. Han people's farming, silkworm and weaving is a means of making a living, and their riding, shooting, hunting and herding are also means of making a living!"

"But some people say that they are vicious and murderous without blinking an eye. But the Mongolian warriors in my family are very simple and honest. When they smile, they squint their eyes and look as kind as possible. There is Uncle Batu, my brother and brother Riding on his neck every day, he won't be annoyed!"

"He took us to hunt in autumn. He said that we can't hunt in spring, because everything grows in spring. We can't beat the mother, because if the mother is beaten, her children will starve!"

"The Mongolians are different from us in many ways. They don't eat fish or birds. They say that things that fly in the sky and swim in the water are not edible."

The little girl was a chatterbox, she talked endlessly, but Zhu Xiongying listened with gusto.

He leaned against the head of the bed, with his arms resting on his head, looking at Xiao Wan, he became infatuated unconsciously.

Suddenly, Xiao Wan stopped talking, tilted her head and asked, "Why doesn't Your Highness speak?"

"I'm listening to you!"

"Why are you looking at me so straight?"

"I see that you have a temperament, no wonder the emperor's grandmother likes you so much!" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

Xiaowan was puzzled and blinked her big eyes.

"There is a virtue in you! A virtue of a wife!"
