Chapter 588 The child is here (4)
"Twelfth younger brother." Receiving Zhu You's questioning eyes, Zhu Qi's thin mouth hooked up, and she stuck to the simple younger brother's ear and said, "It seems that your third brother hasn't told you the news yet, has he?"

"What news?" Zhu You was taken aback.

"Your third brother loves you very much, so he didn't tell you. Anyway, if you know, it's useless."

Immediately, a look of displeasure flashed across Zhu You's face, and the other party whetted his appetite, and said, "I don't want to play like this. Brother Eleven, do you want to talk? No, I'll just ask Third Brother myself. "

"That's true. Your third brother has all set off from the north to return to the capital. I'm afraid he will be able to return to the capital in just a few days."

"You, what are you talking about? The third brother is from the north? The third brother is going to Jianghuai, did the eleventh brother forget?"

Little brother is simple.Zhu Qi patted Silly Pig's little head lovingly, and said, "No wonder your third brother loves you so much. However, I really don't blame your third brother for this matter. The third brother only received the emperor's imperial edict when he left the capital. , going to the north in secret. As for what the third brother will do when he goes to the north, Zhu You, I don’t need to talk about it.”

Zhu You was so shocked that he couldn't even close his eyes.

Not to mention Zhu You, most people in the capital must have been kept in the dark about Zhu Li's secret journey to the north.

"It is said that—" Zhu Qi squinted her eyes and pressed it against Zhu You's ear, "Third brother forced Princess Li to the point of death."

Zhu You's eyeballs suddenly widened.

Lao Jiu was still sighing in front: "Before, the Empress Dowager was so happy to serve the longevity dishes, but now, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet may not be able to be held." Lao Jiu, a foodie, sighed that he couldn't eat Chang Concubine and Ba Ye The sea cucumber soup specially made for the Queen Mother.

But Zhu You remembered that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and no one in the capital knew that all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital might not be worth one Li Min.As a result, Li Min did not show up, and did not respond to the appointment to show miraculous medical skills in the palace and heal the Queen Mother.

On the one hand, everyone was thinking about the bet between Princess Li and the Queen Mother that had been reported in the palace before, and lamented that the Queen Mother lost everything this time, but also thought that it was unlikely that Li Min would really dare to disobey the emperor's order and not enter the palace because of the bet. .The final outcome was that Li Min did not show his face in the capital for a long time, and everyone knew that the Duke Protector's Mansion was now empty.

The emperor didn't mention it, and no one in the capital dared to mention it.All I know is that during this period of time, the Minister of the Ministry of War was not even able to return home, and he took charge of the Ministry of War day and night.

"Seventh Master, Eighth Master, Ninth Master, Eleventh Master, Twelfth Master. Yongle greets you all." Zhu Yongle stood at the entrance of the lobby and said with his knees bent.

The weather was fine, and the little chubby girl was wearing a padded jacket made of lotus root powder, which looked pink and tender in youthful color, which complemented her originally sunny face, making her even more beautiful.

Several men were startled, and suddenly realized that this little chubby girl was actually dressed up, not bad at all.

Lao Jiu's eyes fell on the little fat girl's waist again, and he whispered in Ba Ye's ear: "Princess Li deserves a lot of credit."

Looking at Zhu Yongle's face, Ba Ye immediately thought of that face, and his mood suddenly became complicated when he said Lao Jiu's words.

"Mother's health is not very good, Yongle can only serve the princes on behalf of the parents first." Zhu Yongle said, and asked the maids to serve tea to the princes.

"Princess Lu is unwell?" Lao Qi asked with concern.

Before, no one heard about Princess Lu's illness.

"Yes." Zhu Yongle nodded.

"Have you invited the doctor to see it?"

Zhu Yongle said: "My mother is used to asking someone to ask Princess Li for advice when she is sick. The medicines are all taken in Xu's medicine hall. Now, Princess Li is not here, and my mother is not used to it."

Everyone suddenly discovered that Li Min's existence had no slight impact on the entire capital.

Ba Ye said: "If Princess Lu can trust me, I know the doctor from Puji Bureau, and Puji Bureau has cooperated with Xu's Medicine Hall before."

"If mother needs it, she must trouble Ba Ye." Zhu Yongle stood up and thanked him first.

Everyone picked up teacups and tasted tea.

Zhu Yongle remembered Mrs. Wang's previous point, grabbed the lotus root powder handkerchief between her fingers, and whispered, "I don't know how much Ba Ye knows about Xu Zhuangyuan?"

"Xu Zhuangyuan?"

"Yes." When Zhu Yongle said this, his face couldn't help being ashamed, and his lowered eyebrows could fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Ba Ye is a sensible person, sitting close to her, hearing her soft voice, and seeing her face, he knew what was going on, so he replied to her in a low voice while the other brothers were busy eating tea: "Xu Zhuangyuan , I am afraid it is not suitable for the princess."

Zhu Yongle was shocked at first, and then quickly thought of other things. He thought that back then, the empress dowager arranged for him to be the number one scholar, but in the end, the number one scholar despised her.

Ba Ye sipped tea, looked up and found her complexion was not good, he knew that she was probably thinking wrongly, and said: "The princess is different now, she is loved by everyone, I heard that there are many children from famous families, and I admire her very much." Princess, I want to marry you all my heart, but Princess Lu has never agreed."

"Then Ba Ye means—" Zhu Yongle held his breath carefully, and became more and more suspicious.

"Xu Zhuangyuan is a rookie in Beijing. After he became a blockbuster in the palace examination, he was sought after by many princes and nobles in the capital. There is no doubt about this. With Xu Zhuangyuan's character, talent, and ability, he is well-known in Beijing. So much so that until now, the emperor does not know where to place Xu Zhuangyuan so as not to waste such a talent. It is normal for a woman to admire such a gentleman, but with the background and status of the princess, Xu Zhuangyuan is required to not only It's not too much, I'm afraid Xu Zhuangyuan is just a high-ranking princess, so there is no reason not to agree. The problem is—"

"In?"

"The princess knows that Xu Zhuangyuan is actually the natal family of Princess Li."

Zhu Yongle's mouth opened wide, and he could barely spit out the word "ah".

Xu Youzhen is from the Xu family, yes, they are all surnamed Xu, why didn't she think of it before.If only I had asked Li Min more beforehand.However, Li Min probably wouldn't admit it either.Because Xu Youzhen's time in the capital may not be short, and she has never publicized this relationship to the outside world.Ba Ye must have learned such a secret from other sources.

"If Xu Zhuangyuan is from Princess Li's natal family—" Zhu Yongle couldn't understand again. Xu Youzhen is Li Min's cousin. In this way, she and Li Min have a good relationship. Wouldn't it be easier to marry Xu Youzhen?

Seeing that her head hasn't turned the corner until now, Ba Ye is really worrying, and said: "The king said these words to the princess, just to remind the princess that the princess's marriage is decided by the emperor, it should be, Lu Neither the Prince nor Princess Lu can decide."

Zhu Yongle turned pale with shock: "This princess is not the emperor's princess, why should the emperor—"
