Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 326 Love and Concubine

  Zhu Xiurong looked at Fang Jifan with soft eyes, smiled sweetly, and slightly opened his lips and said, "Why do you know so much when you are the same age as my brother and he doesn't understand anything?"

   That's a really good question.

Fang Jifan sighed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very smart and clever, which can be compared with ordinary people. What's more, His Highness is the Crown Prince. In the East Palace, there are some of the world's top Confucian scholars, and there are also people who are well-informed and knowledgeable in the world, teaching His Highness knowledge, so... Your Royal Highness, you are wrong, it is not that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know anything, he is already smart enough and knows enough."

Fang Jifan had no expression on his face, and continued: "Of course, His Royal Highness is a little worse than me. As for the reason, it may be that he is usually more playful, and I love reading. I spend my time when others are flying eagles and running dogs. In terms of studying the truth of all things, I am not a smart person, but I know the truth that the stupid bird flies first. There is a road in the mountain of books and hard work is the path. Learning is boundless and hard work. Learning makes me happy."

Zhu Xiurong blinked, nodded and said: "It makes sense, that's why I think such a person is amazing. Think about it, you also come from a famous family, although not as good as my brother, he is the prince, but you are also Nanhe Bo Your son, you can clearly inherit the title, live in luxury and live in prosperity and wealth for a lifetime, but you can settle down to study, which is not something ordinary people can do. I heard from my mother that many children in Beijing rely on their families to have the right to Powerful, messing around, flying eagles and running dogs, causing trouble, such people are all lying on the merits of their ancestors, drunk and dreaming all day long, and they are harmful to people in Beijing. They are very abominable. Uncle Xinjian, I feel more and more that you are amazing, and I have to study hard to live up to you..."

  She spoke sincerely, but Fang Jifan was ashamed. When he heard her say that he would live up to you, Fang Jifan's eyes were straightened, and he hurriedly turned his face away to prevent Zhu Xiurong from seeing him succeeding.

  Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiurong said: "I have lived up to your teachings."

   "..."

  Although there are only a few more words, the meaning is quite different.

   Beast, I am such a beast, I never expected that I would think wrongly, my thinking is unhealthy, this is wrong, I Fang Jifan is a moral person.

  Fang Jifan smiled, with his hand still on the skin of Zhu Xiurong's forearm.

  Suddenly, as if there was a tacit understanding, both Zhu Xiurong and Fang Jifan fell into an awkward silence. Zhu Xiurong blushed slightly, and it seemed that some unhealthy thoughts appeared in her mind. She bit her lip and waited for Fang Jifan to speak.

  Fang Jifan pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

   Simply, the two looked at each other, but couldn't help but smile immediately.

   After a long time, Fang Jifan broke the embarrassment: "His Royal Highness's condition is still stable."

   "Yes." Zhu Xiurong nodded slightly.

  Fang Jifan looked up at the beams of the house, racking his brains thinking about what to say, and then said, "I don't know when your highness will have a brain attack next time."

"what?"

  Fang Jifan was stunned, and he actually spoke out what was in his heart.

  Zhu Xiurong said: "Actually...you can relapse tomorrow."

   "Is this not good? Or, it will take a few days." Fang Jifan's face turned red, and he looked straight at Zhu Xiurong.

"Okay, everything is up to your arrangement. It's nice to have you to accompany me and gossip." When Zhu Xiurong said these words, she was a little at a loss. After all, she received strict upbringing since she was a child, and obviously felt that she was too Meng Lang .

Fang Jifan took a deep breath, feeling a little bit reluctant, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he had stayed here for too long, and if he stayed a little longer, even if Nanny Liu didn't dare to make trouble, it was hard to guarantee that nothing else would happen. After all, no matter how much he wanted to stay, he still had to consider Princess Taikang's reputation.

  Fang Jifan stood up and said politely: "Then, I will take my leave."

  Turning around, not daring to look back, afraid of losing my composure, Fang Jifan is a moral person after all!

  So he tried his best to lift his legs that were as heavy as lead, and slowly paced out of the palace.

   After leaving the Meridian Gate, there seems to be a feeling of rebirth.

  Xuexu danced wildly on his head, but Fang Jifan didn't feel cold at all, but at this moment, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder hard.

  Fang Jifan was shocked, as if he had been caught stealing a gun, his face was miserable.

  Then, I heard Zhu Houzhao's voice saying: "Hahaha, Lao Fang, I really belong to you. Fortunately, you saved me this time, otherwise I'm afraid I will die without a place to bury myself."

   It turned out to be the prince. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, his body was bloated, and there was thin snow on the bamboo hat. It seemed that he had been waiting for some time.

"It took so long to see a doctor for my sister, and I almost froze to death." Zhu Houzhao complained, taking off his bamboo hat and putting it on Fang Jifan, and said: "Don't catch the cold, you are no worse than me." Gong, I am skilled at bow and horse, and have a strong body, you are not so good, haha, to be serious..."

The snow flakes floated on Zhu Houzhao's bun. He didn't take it seriously, and with a white breath in his mouth, he took out a memorial from the thick coir raincoat, and said, "Didn't the father let this palace be alone? It is said that this What do you think of the errand to Bengong?"

  Fang Jifan took over the memorial. It turned out that because of the snowstorm, many refugees appeared in Miyun and needed resettlement.

  Fang Jifan immediately understood His Majesty's intentions. He said that resettlement was needed, but he actually hoped that the crown prince would take the lead in resettling these refugees in Xishan.

  Placing refugees is no small matter, but for Xishan, it is still within its capabilities.

  Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "His Royal Highness, do you know what to do?"

   "This is easy." Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Let them come to Xishan, and we will give them enough food."

   "..." Fang Jifan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, if it is so easy to resettle refugees, it would be too simple just to feed them."

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan in puzzlement: "What?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is training His Highness the Crown Prince. If you only give money and food, if Your Majesty knows, it will be regarded as saving life, but what kind of arrangement is this?"

"Then..." Zhu Houzhao rubbed his head and said, "This palace also thinks the same way, so I suspect that what my father asked me to do is too easy, no matter what, more than a thousand ragged refugees are facing Xishan. Say, isn't it a trivial matter?"

  Fang Jifan smiled gratifiedly, and sure enough, His Highness the Crown Prince has grown in IQ.

   "However, I still don't know how to arrange it, so that my father will be satisfied?"

"No." Fang Jifan shook his head and said: "Actually, what His Royal Highness wants to do is not just to satisfy His Majesty. Your Highness, this is a hard-won opportunity for His Highness to be alone. If it is just satisfaction, it is nothing. Your Highness should do the best."

   "Your Highness, think about it. What you have learned in Xishan, Your Highness can think about how to apply what you have learned in Xishan."

   This time, Fang Jifan was very serious.

  He and Zhu Houzhao are friends, true friends.

  My own children and grandchildren... No, there are too many disciples and descendants.

  But there are almost no friends, Zhu Houzhao is one of them, and he is the only one.

  In fact, Fang Jifan is a person who truly has family and country feelings.

  This is not empty talk. In his last life, he studied history, and many things, he felt so empathetic. Anyone who is interested in the history of his ancestors probably has such feelings for his family and country.

  People can't just live with ease, otherwise the world's riches and honor are in front of them, and it would be tasteless to eat.

  Fang Jifan stared at Zhu Houzhao seriously.

  The opportunity to truly change history may be right in front of him. First of all, he not only wants to change the productivity of this era, but what is really important is Ming Wuzong, his close friend, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

  Zhu Houzhao scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said, "Knowledge and action are one?"

  He seemed unsure.

  Fang Jifan smiled slightly: "Since Your Highness has thought of the unity of knowledge and action, then try the unity of knowledge and action."

   "But, how do we try?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan seriously. He obviously hoped that this matter could be done well, and he cherished this hard-won opportunity.

   "Let's move the refugees to Xishan first, and then, let's go step by step."

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao stepped on the snow, Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, with a childlike innocence, deliberately stomped down hard with his boots, insisting on making his footprints deeper than Fang Jifan's.

   "Okay, let's do it, do it best, do it better than anyone else."

  Zhu Houzhao has set up his ambitions, and his eyes are full of firm light.

   Immediately, he patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder and said, "I really feel at ease when I'm with you."

   "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment." Fang Jifan raised his eyebrows, looked into the distance, and saw a person walking towards him in a strange posture, or limping in the snow.

  Zhu Houzhao smiled, and seemed to be full of confidence in the future.

   It was only when the man continued to walk a few steps forward that the limping man realized that this man was an unkempt outcast.

This is on the imperial road near the Meridian Gate. For some reason, perhaps because of the snow, the guards were lazy, so that the beggar went crazy and rushed over with a tattered bag full of patches. .

   "Your Highness, be careful." Fang Jifan sensed something was wrong.

  But while he was speaking, Zhu Houzhao said at the same time: "Old Fang, be careful, hide behind the Palace."

  Seeing that the beggar was a few feet away, he suddenly stopped.

   With a bang, the worn-out baggage fell down.

  Countless pots, pans, sundries, and even half pieces of toilet paper were scattered all over the floor.

  But the unkempt man was still standing there in a daze.

  Zhu Houzhao has quickly walked in front of Fang Jifan, and shouted sharply: "Who is it!"

   "Mother...His Royal Highness...His Royal Highness..."

   This person knelt down, knelt in the snow, weeping loudly, and the sound of crying went straight to the sky.

  The cry echoed in the sky along with the snow flakes all over the sky.

  …

  Finally, today's five chapters have been updated, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I'm so tired. I've been sitting in front of the computer for a long time, and my back hurts. Tiger has to go to rest. Everyone should go to bed early, and continue tomorrow!
