Chapter 291 Zhu Di Went to Court Wearing Lipstick!
"Master Zhu? Mr. Zhu Silang, where is Mr. Zhu? I want to meet this Zhu Xiucai, who killed a dozen rice bugs for us people!"
…
"This time Goryeo is presenting two princes. Please tell me if King Yan can share one of them."
…
puff!
Under the protection of several young eunuchs, Mingxia stood at the very back of the crowd, listening to what everyone was talking about and couldn't help but laugh.
Turning around, "Tan Zhenfu, Mr. Zhou Qi, where have our Highness and Princess gone?"
Tan Yuan and Zhou Lang stood nearby in casual clothes.
He glanced at the little girl.
Tan Yuan's lips twitched and he whispered to Zhou Lang, "Say it, I have no shame!"
Mingxia couldn't help but be curious after hearing this.
Zhou Lang smiled and said: "Miss Mingxia, the folks from Tuqiao Village came to see the children today and brought some chickens raised in the village to Jinling City. Your Highness, the princess and the children all went to sell chickens with the folks..."
Tan Yuan's lips twitched.
The prince is good at everything, but this is what really makes people don’t know what to say.
Not to mention the identity of the prince.
At least he's a scholar, right?
Children are also readers, right?
Qiu Wei didn't care about the day when the list was published, and actually took the children to sell chickens!
It's not that he looks down on this kind of business, he is also a farmer, but he is worried that those scholars will criticize the prince behind his back if they find out.
Mingxia couldn't help but smile.
She wasn't surprised at all.
She also saw His Highness cleaning the cowshed, cooking in the kitchen, washing clothes...
"Let, let, let..."
When Mingxia was about to speak, she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned around and saw a little girl pushing the little eunuch away with her little head and trying her best to squeeze in.
"Narentoya!"
Narentoya was still trying her best to fight with several little eunuchs who were dressed in disguise to stop her.
Hearing this, he raised his head...
"Aunt Mingxia?" When she saw Mingxia, she was slightly stunned.
After settling in Jinling, my aunt's mother-in-law, the Empress of Ming Dynasty, took her aunt Mingxia to Zhu Ruolu's house to visit her and the princess.
Queen, let her call Aunt Mingxia.
Mingxia winked at the little eunuch.
The little eunuch then let go of Naren Tuoya.
Naren Tuoya walked in and saw Tan Yuan and Zhou Lang at a glance.
Especially when she saw Zhou Lang, she glared fiercely. She would always remember that in Yidu, she had to protect the princess. This was the guy who obeyed Zhu Ruruo's orders, picked her up with one hand and took her away. .
When Zhou Lang saw Naren Tuoya, he cursed her as a crazy girl, turned around and walked in the direction of Xia Shimin and Jiang Jinzhong.
snort!
Narentuoya snorted, then looked at Mingxia with a smile, took Mingxia's hand, and said sweetly, "Aunt Mingxia, are you here to see if your fourth uncle is on the list?"
He sweetly called Fourth Uncle, secretly whispering: 'Bah, bah, bah! Zhu is rude! Zhu is rude! ’
She already knew the princess's entire plan to use Zhu Ruruo as a springboard.
The princess is now pretending that she would not marry unless Zhu was rude.
She also had to cooperate with the princess.
Mingxia nodded with a smile and patted Narentoya's little head, "Isn't Miss Wuyunqige here? Did she ask you to come?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Narentoya nodded repeatedly, her big eyes narrowed with a smile, like a little prairie fox, "Miss is preparing a sumptuous meal, waiting for the good news that the fourth uncle is on the list. If the fourth uncle can go, alright……"
She wasn't lying either.
The princess is indeed making delicious food.
But it has nothing to do with Zhu Rurude!
Both she and the princess missed prairie food a little, and the princess was making fried rice.
Been testing it for several days.
All ended in failure.
She and the princess had only eaten it before, but never cooked it.
I hope there will be good results today.
The princess didn't care how Zhu Ruruo did on the exam.
She was curious, and the whole street, from ladies to children of her size, were talking about it.
In Zhongyuan's words, she hoped that Zhu Ruruo's name would be lost in Songshan.
Mingxia looked at Narentuoya sympathetically. She knew the relationship between their highness and the princess.
If Wu Yunqige wants to be His Highness's woman, I'm afraid it will be a long road...
"Then let's wait together. Mingxia put away her thoughts, smiled and patted the little girl's head.
…
royal palace.
The entrance to the imperial study room.
Zhu Yuanzhang paced around, looking out from time to time, muttering with a dark face: "Why haven't you come back yet? Did you come back long ago at this time last time?"
Ma Xiuying was sitting behind the desk on the left. After hearing this, she put down her book and deliberately teased: "Are you waiting for the news about the fourth child's exam, or are you waiting for a hundred Goryeo beauties? This time Goryeo has spent a lot of money and even given away gifts." Here are two ladies..."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared with a black face.
He is already this age, but for a woman?
to be honest.
Except for Xiuying, in his eyes, the other concubines in the harem were just to carry on the Zhu family's lineage.
How many Korean women, even Wengzhu, can compare with Laosi's imperial examination?
"Believe it or not, as long as the bastard Fourth Brother gives us a test and comes back, as long as he wants, we can reward him with these hundred beauties and two other princes!"
puff!
Ma Xiuying smiled, "If you do this, believe it or not, the fourth child will simply give up and not take the exam next spring."
It's really possible!
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he felt angry and funny.
…
It's approaching noon.
The list has not yet been announced.
Jinling North Gate.
A team slowly approached.
In the carriage at the front of the team, two women were wearing colorful brocade clothes and white veils on their faces.
One of the women secretly lifted the curtain and peeked curiously. There was disappointment in her eyes. She lowered the curtain and turned to look at the older and more stable woman next to her, "Aunt, there are very few people outside the city gate to welcome us!"
The Ming Dynasty was the Celestial Empire, and it was normal to look down on them, Goryeo.
But there should be some people who came to watch out of curiosity, right?
But there was only a small group of people at the city gate.
The stable and beautiful woman turned her head and warned, "Don't be willful when you come to the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty royal family, we may not even be as good as their ordinary nobles, and we can't get the support of our motherland. In the future, all our honor and disgrace will depend on whether the people we serve like us. Have you remembered all the ways that aunt taught you to please men?"
The girl's pretty face flushed slightly.
So shameful!
My father originally planned to give my aunt to the next Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Toghon Temur.
I hope my aunt will become the second Queen Ki.
For this reason, I specially invited a prostitute who is best at seducing men to teach my aunt all kinds of skills to please men.
After the news that the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty led 600 tired soldiers to cripple Lee Seong-gye's 5,000 elite cavalry was reported back to Goryeo.
The entire Goryeo foreign policy changed drastically.
My aunt went from going to the Northern Yuan Dynasty to coming to the Ming Dynasty.
She was added temporarily.
She also hurriedly learned those shameful skills.
As for which prince of the Ming Dynasty she will be given to, it has not been determined yet.
There are only two candidates.
One is the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty, who made the foreign policy of the motherland suddenly change drastically.
The other is the crown prince of Ming Dynasty.
...
Squeak!
The carriage suddenly stopped, interrupting the girl's thoughts.
When the girl reached out to lift the curtain to check.
A voice was heard.
"The envoy of Goryeo, Li Shi, pays homage to the great master of the Celestial Empire!"
Zhao Zhu looked at it and nodded slightly. His attitude was very good! Very upright!
He had heard of Li Shi before.
The other party was also a Confucian student.
And the other party had participated in the imperial examination.
Although it was the imperial examination of the Yuan Dynasty, it was the same. Now, the court also recognized the fame obtained in the imperial examination of the Yuan Dynasty.
Then he smiled and helped Li Shi up, "Lord Li, there is no need to be polite. I am here to welcome Lord Li on the order of His Majesty..."
The two sides exchanged a few words, and Zhao Zhu smiled and said, "Lord Li, let's not delay. Huitong Hall has prepared everything. His Majesty will summon Lord Li at noon."
Li Shi nodded hurriedly.
The emperor of the Celestial Empire summoned him at noon.
Time is indeed a bit tight.
After traveling by boat and car, everyone has to wash up.
Then, the group entered the city.
Li Shi looked at the deserted streets and asked curiously, "Lord Zhao, why is Jinling so deserted?"
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng also looked at Zhao Zhu together.
If they hadn't been on a mission, they would have reported to the Grand Commander's Office and then went to find Ghost Old Fourth.
Zhao Zhu smiled and said, "Today is the day for the announcement of the imperial examination results, and the people are all going to several announcement points to watch the excitement."
"It is said that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty also participated in this autumn examination. I wonder if the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is on the list?" Li Shi hurriedly asked curiously.
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng pricked up their ears and waited.
Zhao Zhu smiled and shook his head, "I don't know either. Although I am the Minister of Rites..."
"He passed the exam! Zhu Silang is on the list!"
As soon as Zhao Zhu's voice sounded, there was a sudden noise in front.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound...
They saw several people running and shouting from afar: "Inspector A first place, Zhu Jieyuan passed the exam and ranked first!"
Several people saw the team from afar, slightly stunned, and shouted happily, rushing into the streets next to them.
Li Shi frowned slightly, and smiled tentatively, "Sir Zhao, this new champion Zhu Silang..."
Zhao Zhu smiled, and several colleagues who were marking the papers finally put aside their personal emotions towards Zhu Silang and ensured the fairness and justice of the imperial examination.
Then he smiled and said, "Zhu Silang is the pseudonym of the fourth prince of this dynasty. Sir Li must not make it public..."
He didn't want Zhu Silang's reputation to be too high. Zhu Silang's reputation was too high, which would be bad for the prince. He would suppress it for one day.
Li Shi opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and then smiled and congratulated...
Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng followed behind.
They knew it as early as when the people shouted Zhu Silang.
Zhu Neng came to Qiu Fu and laughed and scolded in a low voice: "This ghost Lao Si is really both civil and military."
Inside the carriage
The young princess turned her head in surprise, "Aunt, the fourth prince of Ming passed the exam, and he was the first place? The Ming imperial examination was so cheating, their people didn't have resentment?"
The eldest princess glared at the girl, "How do you know that the fourth prince of Ming cheated? You should think carefully now, do you want to be the prince's woman, or this fourth prince of Ming."
...
The palace.
The imperial study.
Haha...
A hearty laugh came out.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned back and forth happily, "Proud, this bastard really made us proud! Go to the Ministry of Rites and find the fourth prince's answer sheet for us."
The little eunuch took the order and ran away.
Ma Xiuying smiled and glared at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Just be happy!"
Don't be like last time, dragging her around the entire palace to show off.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, let's change the way of showing off this time. Let's let the fourth prince attend today's noon court!"
Showing off, always using the same routine, how boring
He wanted to show off in front of all the civil and military officials and the Korean envoys that he, Zhu Yuanzhang’s son, had passed the imperial examination!
Ma Xiuying was slightly stunned.
The fourth child now doesn’t even have an identity…
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ma Xiuying's thoughts and said with a smile: "He is now our appointed inspector, and he is also a meritorious official who prompted Goryeo to pay tribute. It is reasonable for him to attend this special court meeting today."
...
Soon, the news that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Di to attend the noon court spread in the six ministries.
The left prime minister's office.
Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang sat opposite each other, eating several lunches provided by the court to officials.
He smiled and said: "Emperor Zhu did not come to our six ministries this time, nor did he rush to tell the ancestors of the old Zhu family. He changed a way to show off Zhu Silang. Since the ninth year of Hongwu, Zhu Silang is finally going to set foot in Fengtian Hall again..."
At the end of the words, Hu Weiyong's smile disappeared, and his expression was slightly solemn...
He seemed to have heard the aggressive footsteps of Zhu Silang walking towards power...
...
Huitongguan.
The envoys' hall of the Ming Dynasty.
When the envoys of the surrounding states arrived in Jinling, the Ministry of Rites would arrange them in Huitongguan.
After Li Shi hurriedly washed up, he came to a courtyard guarded by Goryeo soldiers. When he came to the door, he said respectfully: "My two princesses, I, Li Shi, want to see you."
"Come in!"
The voice came out.
Li Shi pushed the door open and entered.
The aunt and nephew sat opposite the door.
"Greetings, my two princesses."
After Li Shi saluted, he knelt down opposite the aunt and nephew.
"My two princesses, I have heard some news about the fourth prince of Ming. The fourth prince of Ming has now been demoted to a commoner, but His Majesty the Great Ming has placed great value on this prince..."
The more he knew about the fourth prince of Ming.
The more shocked he was.
Demoted to a commoner, he was even expelled from the family tree by the Great Ming Emperor.
Ordinarily, this kind of prince has been completely ruined.
But this fourth prince of Ming is amazing!
From the ninth year of Hongwu to the present.
In less than two years.
The fourth prince of Ming has once again become the favorite of the Great Ming Emperor.
"After returning from the grassland, the Fourth Prince of Ming was entrusted with an important task by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to supervise all officials. At the same time, he took the pseudonym Zhu Silang and participated in the autumn imperial examination..."
"Isn't his title of Jieyuan because of his status as a prince?" The young lady suddenly interrupted.
"No!" Li Shi shook his head, "According to the information I have inquired, when the Fourth Prince of Ming participated in the academy examination, he was also embarrassed by his father-in-law, the prince. The difficulty of the academy examination at that time was unprecedented..."
...
The two ladies gradually showed shock on their faces.
He is both civil and military, this Fourth Prince of Ming is too powerful, right?
Li Shi saw the young lady's surprise, and struck while the iron was hot: "I suggest that the princess express her admiration for the Fourth Prince of Ming when she pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty at noon today, and choose the Fourth Prince of Ming!"
He always felt that the Fourth Prince of Ming was great in both civil and military affairs.
His future is limitless.
He has called for a fight for the throne, proving that this prince is ambitious.
Investing when it is at its lowest point, once the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty becomes successful, the harvest will be the greatest.
The girl frowned and asked back: "Lord Li, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty is now a commoner. Can he restore his title in the future?"
The ability of the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty really shocked her. If the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty was a prince, it would be fine, but now he is a commoner!
Li Shi said it all.
The current official position of the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty is temporary.
After finishing the work, he has to go back to the countryside to farm.
She has never done such a humble thing in Goryeo.
After coming to the Ming Dynasty, she has to do such a humble livelihood?
"The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty will definitely replace the prince?"
"Didn't you say that the emperor of Ming Dynasty loves the prince of Ming Dynasty very much?"
...
"This..."
Li Shi was speechless.
As a scholar, he naturally admired the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty.
Successful sprints and two first-class first place.
Very impressive.
It also scared Lee Seong-gye.
Lee Seong-gye is the most powerful official in Goryeo!
Moreover, in his mind, this princess is just a bargaining chip for Goryeo to invest in Ming Dynasty. Investing in the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty, sharing weal and woe with him, and making a small bet for a big gain. As long as the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty succeeds, the harvest will be extremely rich!
It doesn't matter if it fails.
It's nothing more than Goryeo losing a woman.
On the other hand, investing in the crown prince, the crown prince himself has all the advantages. If the princess goes to the crown prince, she will be a tool for passing on the family line.
Giving birth to a child is just an ordinary grandson.
He is considering the interests of the entire Goryeo.
The princess is obviously considering more personal interests.
Li Shi looked at another princess.
The eldest princess said tactfully: "Lord Li, I think it's better to do this. Let the beauty meet the crown prince and the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty at noon, and then make a decision."
Men only consider national interests.
No matter whether they live or die.
In the future, how they live in Ming Dynasty, they must support each other.
She would never side with Li Shi.
…
Zhu Zi Lane.
A big house without a door plaque.
Under a tree in a secluded courtyard.
Crunch…
Naren Tuoya chewed the ‘fried rice’, making a crunching sound in her mouth, and her little face wrinkled, “Princess, how about we not make fried rice.”
Failed again today!
The fried rice fried by the princess is harder than the stones on the grassland!
But the princess doesn’t allow it to be wasted.
Her teeth were almost broken by the fried rice that was as hard as a stone.
Wu Yunqige blushed, “I have found the reason for the failure. Next time I will definitely make the fried rice in our hometown.”
Naren Tuoya twitched at the corner of her lips.
Muttered softly, “You have said this several times. You say this every time after failure…”
Wu Yunqige became so angry that she hit Narentuoya's little head with chopsticks.
Naren Tuoya immediately smiled and said: "Princess, Zhu Ruruo got the first place in Class A again. Your attitude towards Zhu Ruruo has not changed yet?"
"It can never change!"
"That's good, that's good." Narentuoya breathed a sigh of relief and reminded: "Princess, if you really like Zhu Ruru, don't hold it, and you have to take some time. Aunt Mingxia quietly revealed a news today, Gao Li Two ladies came here this time, one was here to seduce His Majesty, and according to many people’s guesses, the other was here to seduce Zhu Rurude..."
puff!
Wu Yunqige laughed out loud and stared with a smile, "Did you, a girl, talk about hooking up?"
She knew that Narentoya looked down upon the Koreans.
"Hurry up and eat. If you don't finish the fried rice that failed this time, we won't cook."
ah!
"Princess, let's give up!"
Narentoya's painful pleas came from the small courtyard...
…
At this moment, Zhu Di didn't know that so many people were talking about him.
He was having dinner with his eighth uncle, children, and brothers.
There was no way, he passed the Jie Yuan exam, and Brother Xia passed the Zhong Ya Yuan exam.
Everyone wants to be lively and lively, and since it is rare for people to be so crowded, it is simply lively and lively.
Uncle Ba and the others sold half of the chickens they brought from the village, and the remaining half ended up in their stomachs.
Half the fun.
The people sent by the palace to attend the noon court came.
inside the house.
While helping Zhu Di change clothes, Xu Miaoyun joked with a smile: "Father has made it clear that he wants to show off, and maybe, he will reward you with a title..."
Zhu Di stared with a smile.
Hold your waist with both hands.
Lift with a little force.
Xu Miaoyun's two scissor legs were very familiar with Zhu Di's waist. She put her hands around Zhu Di's neck, looked at him, and said solemnly: "Silang, actually I want to say that although there are other women around you, I will feel a little uncomfortable, but I'm not the kind of woman who can't tolerate others..."
As a woman, a woman who wants to haunt Shiro for the rest of her life.
She certainly didn't want Shiro to be around other women.
But as long as Shiro wants to do something, she is willing to agree.
She doesn't want Shiro because she feels he owes her, so she won't have contact with other women for the rest of her life.
When she married herself, she didn't want Shiro to be grateful to her.
Even at that time, she just felt that since the two were engaged, she would be Shiro's wife.
She couldn't do that and marry another woman.
But later, she completely fell.
Just like Huizu and Miaoyin said, they were completely defeated.
"Do you think I'm grateful to you? Xu Daya, you deserve a beating!" Zhu Di glared angrily, and then kissed her fiercely.
Xu Miaoyun is responding.
Panting slightly, Zhu Di stopped him, "Silang, you still have to go to court...Silang...two little guys..."
Only then did Zhu Di stop.
Putting his hand inside Xu Miaoyun's collar.
Xu Miaoyun's collar has been completely loosened.
The two of them touched their foreheads and looked at each other, then both turned to look at the crib with a guilty conscience.
The two little guys opened their big eyes and watched eagerly...
"What are you looking at!" Zhu Di's face was a little hot, and he grabbed the coat he had taken off before and put it on the crib.
puff!
Xu Miaoyun put her head on Zhu Di's shoulder and snickered.
Zhu Di turned his head when he heard the sound, held Xu Miaoyun's pretty face with his hands, and asked Xu Miaoyun to look at him, "Xu Daya, I solemnly tell you today, I am not grateful to you!"
"I want you!"
…
Zhu Di was angry and even used foul language.
Xu Miaoyun pursed her lips to hold back a smile and listened carefully.
Zhu Di pinched Yingying's small waist with one hand, "Exercise your small waist well, don't run away from home in anger, got it!"
Look at the entire Ming Dynasty.
Who can know his heart like Miaoyun?
Do you understand him?
One Miaoyun is enough.
After saying that, he put the person on the bed, stretched out his hand and pinched his soft cheeks fiercely, "I really don't want to go to court! Just wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, turn around and leave...
Xu Miaoyun sat blankly on the bed with a smile.
For a while.
Suddenly came to his senses.
Oops!
The vermilion on the corners of Shiro's lips hasn't been wiped off yet!
