Chapter 212 Zhu Yuanzhang's Ultimate Test and Infinite Trust!

Inside the bedroom.

There were no maids or eunuchs serving.

Zhu Yuanzhang basically never came to this bedroom. He would only come to the emperor's bedroom occasionally to stay for a few days when he was angry with Ma Xiuying or when he was annoyed by other concubines in the harem.

After a few days of separation, as long as Ma Xiuying gave him a way out, he would take advantage of the situation.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing brown cotton clothes, standing in front of the bronze mirror, examining himself.

“Hmm!”

He nodded with satisfaction, “This set of homespun clothes that I wore when I conquered the world is the best, low-key and restrained. I wear this set of clothes to see Xiuying off, which is a crazy hint to Xiuying: I want to go too, I want to go too, please invite me.”

Xiuying was so smart that she must have understood his hint.

Putting away his thoughts, he turned around and walked out of the hall excitedly.

Squeak!

The door of the hall opened.

Zhu Biao was getting impatient. He turned around and was stunned for a moment...

Looking up and down at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, what's wrong with you..."

"What do you mean? Father wants to change into comfortable clothes, and he has to explain to you?" Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately glared at him with a dark face and went straight to Kunning Palace.

If Biaoer continued to think, he had to figure out his intentions.

Xiuying just needed to know this little thought.

Well, after all, it's all the fault of the bastard Fourth Brother. If he was willing to give us a way out, why would we have to do this?

Zhu Biao didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

He followed behind him a little bit late, looking suspiciously...

...

Kunning Palace.

Palace courtyard. Chang also came, squatting in front of Zhu Xiongying, and admonished: "Your fourth uncle and fourth aunt, you still have to take care of little Yongming and little Qihua. When you arrive at Tuqiao Village, don't be too naughty..."

Xiongying is so young, and she is worried about letting her fourth brother take her out.

But in the end, it is the fourth brother and Miaoyun who are the most wronged.

Yongming and Qihua are still so young, and the fourth brother has to accompany Xiongying on a long journey to Liaodong.

It will take at least three months to go back and forth.

Ma Xiuying watched with relief.

The eldest daughter-in-law is a grateful person. She didn't ask others to give because Xiongying is her own child.

This is very good.

Although the Zhu family is a royal family.

But this kind of selfish thinking is absolutely unacceptable.

In this world, no matter how noble your status is, you have no right to ask others to revolve around you forever.

People with such thoughts will eventually hurt themselves.

"Are you ready?"

The voice coming from outside the palace interrupted Ma Xiuying's thoughts, and she looked in the direction of the voice...

Puff!

Ma Xiuying couldn't help laughing.

Mingxia beside her looked suspiciously.

Chang also looked curiously, and when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, she hurriedly took Zhu Xiongying to pay her respects: "Father (grandfather)."

Haha...

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand: "We are family, no need to bother."

While speaking, he picked up Zhu Xiongying and asked with a smile: "Grandson, do you dare to go on a long journey with your fourth uncle?"

At the same time, he looked at Ma Xiuying out of the corner of his eyes.

'Xiuying understood my hint. This time, as long as you mention it, I will definitely agree to go with you. ’

Zhu Xiongying was too young to know that he had become a tool for his grandfather to cover up. He nodded: "Grandson dares!"

Haha...

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again, then turned around and looked at Ma Xiuying, "This time when we go to Tuqiao Village, tell the bastard Lao Si well and tell him that this is the first time his elder brother and sister-in-law ask him for help..."

"Got it." Ma Xiuying smiled and took Zhu Xiongying from Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, "If there is nothing else, we will leave."

Don't invite us?

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, tried to suppress his anger, and nodded with a smile: "Let's go, leave early and come back early."

After speaking, he stared at Ma Xiuying eagerly.

But in the end, the miracle he hoped for did not appear. Ma Xiuying smiled and nodded to Zhu Biao and the Chang couple, and carried Zhu Xiongying to the carriage.

...

"Let's go..."

"Wait!"

In the carriage, Ma Xiuying's order was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as it sounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to the carriage window, lifted the curtain, and waved to Ma Xiuying.

Zhu Biao and the Chang couple looked at each other suspiciously.

Mingxia was sitting in the corner holding Zhu Xiongying, and she couldn't help but frowning slightly.

Ma Xiuying turned around with a smile and moved closer.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Mingxia who was curious and peeping, and after making sure that Mingxia lowered her head, he winked at Ma Xiuying desperately, "Well, when we go to Tuqiao Village, you ask the bastard Lao Si to make more rural delicacies for Xiongying..."

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang blinking constantly, and muttering these meaningless gossips.

Listening with a smile.

She made this man uncomfortable!

He was so tough when he persuaded him to go to Tuqiao Village.

Either slamming the table or glaring.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to say, and his tongue was dry. He glared at Ma Xiuying, stepped back, his face darkened, and waved his hand: "You go."

Flirting with the blind man.

He was doing it in vain!

Xiuying clearly did it on purpose!

Ma Xiuying smiled and nodded, and deliberately said: "I have remembered your instructions. I am leaving. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́̃͝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̃̌"

After that, she lowered the curtain.

The carriage started slowly.

inside the car.

Zhu Xiongying asked curiously: "Grandma, grandpa keeps blinking. Does it hurt his eyes?"

Mingxia was glared at by Zhu Yuanzhang and did not dare to look, but Zhu Xiongying dared.

But I was too young to understand.

Mingxia looked up curiously.

Ma Xiuying smiled and touched Zhu Xiongying's little head, "Wait a minute, Xiongying himself will ask your grandfather."

After saying this, he lifted up a corner of the curtain and peeked quietly.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the carriage slowly leave the palace courtyard, his face getting darker and darker, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Zhu Biao and Chang were very puzzled when they noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang was full of resentment. After all, he was quite happy just now.

As the carriage drove out of the palace courtyard, Ma Xiuying suddenly lifted the curtain, stuck her head out, and asked with a smile: "I have advised you several times to go to Tuqiao Village. Why don't you go this time?"

on purpose!

Xiuying definitely did it on purpose!

After Zhu Yuanzhang's lips twitched, he slowly opened his lips to both sides.

Soon, he stopped his smile, turned around, and said seriously: "Your mother has invited your father several times, and you all know her temper. If she doesn't agree, she will make trouble unreasonably and get angry again. This time, my father will go with her to have a look. By the way, See what the local community in Tuqiao Village is like, and whether it is as good as it is advertised to be. I will leave the affairs of the court to you and come back before dark. "

After saying that, Zhu Biao and his wife were left in a daze.

Turn around...

The seriousness on his face disappeared instantly, he smiled and walked towards the carriage.

He walked faster and faster, then trotted directly to the car.

puff!

Ha ha……

When the carriage disappeared from sight, Zhu Biao and his wife finally understood.

Chang laughed heartily.

Zhu Biao laughed and shook his head, "I'll just tell you, after the emperor came to see me off, why did he have to change his clothes? It turned out to be a hint to the queen."

Isn’t this just trying to save face and suffer the consequences?

Zhu Biao thought of the scene of Zhu Yuanzhang walking faster and faster, trotting onto the carriage, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

…

carriage.

Mingxia went out and sat on the shaft of the carriage with the little eunuch, trying her best not to laugh and listening to the conversation in the carriage...

"Grandpa, why did you keep blinking just now? Are your eyes uncomfortable? Grandson, let me blow it for you." Zhu Xiongying sat in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms. He did not forget the question just now. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang clearly with his big eyes.

Ma Xiuying lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

It’s so hard not to laugh!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt as embarrassed as he wanted to hear Zhu Xiongying's innocent concern, and stared at Ma Xiuying.

Xiuying decided to invite him obviously.

But he deliberately tormented him!

I'm afraid Biao'er and the eldest daughter-in-law are laughing in the back right now!

After a while, when Zhu Xiongying struggled to get up and blew air into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang looked away and said with a smile: "He is still our precious grandson who loves us the most."

The treacherous fourth son didn’t give him a step!

Xiuying also deliberately tormented him!

…

The news that Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying left the palace in a low-key manner quickly spread in the palace.

"Your Majesty and the Queen have left the palace?"

"Must be going to Tuqiao Village!"

"Zhu Silang has really become the emperor's favorite. At first, he ignored Zhu Silang and threw him to Tuqiao Village. Now he actually put down his dignity and took the initiative to go to Tuqiao Village. It only took more than a year. time!"

"It is an indisputable fact that Zhu Silang is getting more and more attention from Emperor Zhu. We should think about what is the purpose of Emperor Zhu's trip? And why did he bring the emperor's grandson with him?"

…

All the officials were shocked and even more curious about the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's trip.

Lu Mansion.

Lu Ben leaned on the bedside, holding a letter in his hands as dry as chicken feet, his eyes full of shock.

After looking at it several times, he raised his head and said, "Is this from your sister?"

Lu Zhao nodded.

Lu Ben's saggy face twitched violently, and he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Taisun was placed next to Zhu Silang to study when he was young.

This kind of uncle-nephew relationship is better than that of father and son.

If in the future, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he dies early and his grandson succeeds him, how prominent will Zhu Silang's status be?

What kind of status will be the end of Zhu Silang?

How can I avenge such a shame and humiliation?

Lu Zhao turned around and closed the door, turned back, leaned into Lu Ben's ear, and whispered: "Father, this may not be a God-given opportunity for our family."

Lu Ben frowned and turned his head.

Lu Zhao's face flushed slightly with excitement, and his voice was even lower, even with a hint of trembling, "Zhu Xiongying is only four years old and has traveled all the way to Liaodong. If... if something happens, the child in my sister's belly, if it is a boy, will be a commoner." eldest son……"

Snapped!

A loud slap sounded suddenly.

Lu Zhao covered his face, his face full of shock.

Lu Ben's face was pale, his hands were shaking violently, he pointed at Lu Zhao, gritted his teeth and whispered a warning: "You rebellious beast! Put away these little thoughts of yours! Don't say a word again, get out!"

Lu Zhao covered his face and left angrily.

Lu Ben fell silent.

Of course he understood what the eldest son wanted to say.

If something happens to Zhu Xiongying.

If his daughter can give birth to a boy.

Although he is a concubine, he will automatically become the eldest son.

The ancestral system for establishing a crown prince established by Emperor Zhu is: establishing direct descendants and establishing elders.

If the Crown Princess never gives birth to a boy again, if his daughter's baby is a boy, she will have a great chance of touching that elusive and unattainable position.

He didn't expect that the eldest son would dare to act in such a treasonous manner, leading to the thought of annihilating the family.

Although he had expressed his loyalty in various ways before, he had never had such a terrifying thought.

But now...

To be honest, I was a little moved.

Zhu Silang accompanied Zhu Xiongying on a long journey. If something happened to Zhu Xiongying, not only would the Ming Dynasty court undergo earth-shaking changes.

Even Zhu Silang would be dead!

Bang!

At some point, Lü Ben suddenly slapped himself hard and murmured, "No, the Lü family must not take the initiative to murder Zhu Xiongying, and must not even take any action!"

Emperor Zhu cared so much about this grandson.

How could he rely on Zhu Silang alone?

Along the way, I don't know how many Jinyiwei would secretly protect Zhu Xiongying.

Yes, Jinyiwei would secretly protect Zhu Xiongying.

While protecting Zhu Xiongying, Jinyiwei would also record for Emperor Zhu every move of Zhu Silang taking care of Zhu Xiongying.

Hehe...

Lü Ben suddenly laughed nervously and coldly, "Zhu Silang, Zhu Silang, Emperor Zhu doesn't really trust you yet! This time taking Zhu Xiongying on a long journey is a test!"

He didn't know why Zhu Yuanzhang was always worried about Zhu Silang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior is like this

First, he threw Mao Xiang to Zhu Silang.

Now he uses Zhu Xiongying to observe the test.

Of course, it must be recognized that Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Zhu Silang is getting deeper and deeper.

Otherwise, he would not have handed over his most important grandson to Zhu Silang and let Zhu Silang take him on a long journey!

Distrust, but more and more trust.

This seemingly contradictory problem is actually not contradictory.

The most feared thing is that Emperor Zhu completely trusts Zhu Silang...

"That day..."

Lv Ben's smile disappeared and he murmured.

That day...

He couldn't imagine how much power and status Zhu Silang would have when that day came.

He still knew Emperor Zhu better.

The bigger the test, the harder it is. Once you pass the test, the more trusted you will be by Emperor Zhu.

Looking at all the people around Emperor Zhu.

He has never seen Emperor Zhu test a person like this.

This is a complete extreme test!

The extreme test corresponds to the abyss and infinite trust!

While thinking, Lü Ben raised his head, his eyes were pious, and the corners of his lips moved, as if he was praying for something.

No one knows what Lü Ben was thinking at this moment...
