The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 218 Zhu Ju suddenly returns to the Forbidden City! His Majesty and the Queen are still unknown!
Chapter 217

The new strategy was thus agreed upon.

The atmosphere in the hospital also became completely relaxed.

"Zhongba, now that the decisive battle is over, does Xiaojuzi no longer need to work on the grassland?"

Ma Xiuying suddenly said,

"As for the rest of the work, such as settling the prisoners and clearing the land, you can let Xu Da, Feng Sheng and others do it, and they will be able to do it well."

"Hurry up and issue an imperial decree to recall him!"

She thought about it and quickly gave instructions to Lao Zhu.

"Well, I also think we can call Little Orange back."

Zhu Biao also said,

"Now Miaoyun is about to give birth, and it is a torment for her that she is not here as a husband."

"Just look at Meirong. If I wasn't by her side, she would not be able to bear the pain and grievances. Miaoyun appears calm on the surface, but she is just strong and never says anything. Think about it, her father and husband are fighting on the front line. The two most important men in her life are not by her side, and they are also facing danger. How can she not be anxious?"

Ma Xiuying nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! These days, I have been very careful with Miaoyun! I am afraid that if I let something slip, it would expose the disadvantages of the frontline operations!"

She even said,
"Fortunately, now that victory has been reported, I finally don't have to falsify military intelligence. Phew..."

Having said that, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

In the past seven or eight months, when her son was away, she, as a mother-in-law, was even more dedicated and responsible than her own mother. She basically took care of her daughter-in-law herself, and there was no difference between her and a nanny!
But even so, it is fortunate that Miaoyun's situation is several times better than Meirong's that they have been able to live a peaceful life until now.

She had also been pregnant before, and knew how hard it was to be pregnant without her husband by her side...

"Dad, call Little Orange back! He has paid enough!"

Zhu Biao requested again.

Seeing him like this, Mu Ying knelt down on one knee and wanted to beg.

"Okay, okay, stop talking. It's not like I disagree. What are you doing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, motioning Mu Ying to stand up, stroked his beard and smiled,
"That's exactly what I meant!"

"Biao'er, quickly draft an imperial edict. First, commend the bravery of the soldiers of the three armies, and then praise Xu Da for his effective combat skills. Let him return to his post and continue to be the general!"

"Then find a reason to recall Zhu Ju! However, don't use the excuse that his wife is going to have a baby! There are many people in the army who have families, and everyone has their own family affairs. If you say that, the soldiers will all miss home."

Zhu Biao grinned.

"Don't worry, Dad. Finding excuses is my strong point!"

He bowed briefly and said,

"Brother Yingzi, come with me!"

"I will immediately draft an imperial edict and stamp it, then you can take it directly to the Grand Commandery and send it to the front line as quickly as possible!"

"In this way, if everything goes well, Xiaojuzi should be able to return to Yingtian before Miaoyun gives birth!"

Mu Ying nodded, and he and Zhu Biao left quickly.

"Hey, these two guys!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two men's backs as they left, and cursed with a smile,
"One is in charge of political power, one is in charge of military affairs, and there is another one outside who controls military power."

"If these three unite, they can directly sideline me!"

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but smile when she heard that.

Think about it carefully, it’s true!

Zhu Biao had the power to draft imperial edicts and the imperial seal was still in his hands. In addition, he was in charge of the Cardinal's Office, and all the civil and military officials under him were under his command.

Mu Ying was in charge of the Grand Marshal's Office and had control over all military affairs.

And the Zhu Ju outside is even more important! With the title of general, he controls the troops of the world, and has 150,000 elite soldiers at his disposal! Now that he has won such a big victory, his prestige in the army is definitely rising!
If these three brothers get together and want to overthrow their father... they can actually do it!

"If they want to overthrow you, I will definitely help them."

Ma Xiuying joked.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

"You...Okay, okay! Then we can only learn from Li Yuan! Go and become the emperor!"

Old Zhu spat.

Having said that, there was not the slightest bit of displeasure in his heart.

He has absolute trust in these three good sons and his sister.

Even if I want this kingdom, it's not impossible! After all, I worked so hard to conquer this vast land, isn't it just to pass it on to my promising son?

"Alright, alright, stop being so frivolous."

Ma Xiuying said happily,
"Go do what you need to do. I have to go tell Miaoyun the good news."

"After listening to the fake news I made up for so long, this time I can finally listen to the real news!"

"You know what... my fake military intelligence can really be linked together with this victory report. There is no sense of incongruity at all! Hahahaha... I can say that my good words have come true!"

She was very happy and went towards Kunning Palace with the support of Cuizhu.

"Don't get her too excited."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the silly Ma Xiuying and reminded her,

"The doctor said that being too excited is not good!"

"Got it——" Ma Xiuying waved her hand and left.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

In Yingtian Prefecture, next to a small stall,

"Boss, make a bowl of duck blood vermicelli with extra chili, duck intestines, duck gizzards, and duck liver."

The handsome boy with slightly dark skin slammed the sword in his hand on the table and shouted skillfully,

"Hey, two pancakes."

"Okay! Please wait a moment--" the waiter greeted warmly.

In a moment, duck blood vermicelli and sesame cakes were served.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal!"

The fellow laughed and said,
"You don't look like a local. Is this your first time in Yingtianfu? You've made the right choice by coming to our stall."

"Although our stall is small, it is also a well-known old brand in Yingtian Prefecture. It is said that when His Royal Highness the King of Wu visited incognito, he often came to our store to drink duck blood vermicelli soup! You can drink it, it's delicious and free!"

Zhu Ju: “???”

Hearing this, he was a little stunned, and even a little bit amused.

I don't look like a local?
I am a genuine Yingtian man, okay! It's just that I got tanned after being exposed to the wind and sun on the battlefield for a while!

However, he did not argue with the waiter. He just waved his hand and started drinking his soup.

"Hey! Tsk tsk..."

Zhu Ju smacked his lips twice, a look of satisfaction on his face.

I have been thinking about this for half a year! It has to be the taste of my hometown!

He took two more sips of the hot soup, then tore the sesame seed cake into pieces and threw them into the soup bowl one by one. After the cake skin absorbed a few sips of soup, he picked it up and put it into his mouth.

This bite is even more delicious!

We are from Yingtian and we love this dish every morning when we wake up. It’s so authentic!
After eating a few pieces of sesame cakes, the duck blood vermicelli soup was not so hot anymore. Zhu Ju began to concentrate on slurping the vermicelli without noticing that a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hey guys, put up all the signs you have here!"

"The bill is on this young man."

Swish!
When Zhu Ju heard this, he immediately stopped slurping the noodles.

"Damn it, who dares..."

Who is this blind person who is trying to get close to me and take advantage of me?

He had also heard that there was a gang of thugs in Yingtian Prefecture who would deliberately pick on outsiders and bully you if they thought you were easy to bully. If you didn't pay for them, they would make it impossible for you to survive in this city.

I don't have any special abilities, but I know how to disgust people.

Zhu Ju was thinking about how to deal with the other person, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar face.

"Yo!"

"It's Master! Why are you here?"

There was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he quickly bowed to the old Taoist priest.

I never expected to meet my master here! It's been a year since we last met!
In the list of people Zhu Ju misses the most, Peng Xuan can be ranked in the top three!
"Hahaha, can't I come to Yingtian?"

Peng Xuan smiled and said,

"The master eats and the apprentice pays, is that okay?"

"From the way you sounded just now, it seemed like there was something else going on with your mother..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ju immediately smiled.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding... Please sit down."

He hurriedly greeted,
"Master, Master, once a teacher, always a father. Just ask me what you want to eat!"

"Would you like to heat up a pot of wine so that we can have a drink? You don't mind drinking, do you?"

I vaguely remember that the master seemed to be practicing alchemy, but I'm not sure if he had any dietary restrictions.

Peng Xuan laughed.

"Why should I avoid alcohol? I can drink and eat meat without any problems!"

He shook his head and said,
"Your Patriarch Sanfeng talked about it in his book The Rootless Tree. Let me read it to you——"

"The tree has no roots, but its flowers are green. The gods of flowers and wine have been around since ancient times. The fireworks village, the forest of wine and meat, has no end of meat and fish, but no adultery."

"Fornication loses the treasure of immortality, meat and wine go through the intestines and stay in the heart. Open the door and tell you, without flowers and wine, there is no way!"

"Do you understand? Without flowers and wine, there is no way to achieve the Tao! In ancient times, who of those who became immortals was not a big drunkard? Feng Zu and Lu Zu, they both carried wine gourds with them all the time!"

"Hey man, give me a nice bottle of wine!"

"Okay! Please wait a moment--" the guy responded loudly with shining eyes.

The profit from selling a jar of wine is higher than that from selling dozens of bowls of duck blood and vermicelli soup!

"There is such a saying. I think it finally gives you a theoretical basis for your excessive eating!"

Zhu Ju smiled and said,
"Wine and meat pass through the intestines but remain in the heart. This is the same as Jigong's saying that wine and meat pass through the intestines but remain in the Buddha's heart!"

"But, committing adultery will lead to the loss of the treasure of immortality, this, this..."

This is a bit confusing.

It’s hard for him not to commit adultery!
"Excessive lust!"

Peng Xuan pointed out the correct path,
"To be less selfish and less lustful does not mean that you should completely give up lust."

"It's like a basin. When you collect water in it, water leaks out at the same time. As long as you collect more than it leaks, it will be full one day, it's just a little slower."

"Of course, in the later stages of cultivation, it is better not to leak if possible, like me, because sex is not just about leaking essence, it will also make the body and mind turbid and destroy the tranquility, which will ruin the practice of Taoism."

"But it's too early for you, kid. By that time you'll be in your 40s or 50s, and you probably won't have the energy to do those things."

Zhu Ju suddenly realized.

Then don't worry.

No matter how you put it, as a young man, full of vigor and energy, with nowhere to vent, and not being affectionate with your wife... this is very difficult!
Try to keep it as little as possible...that's still manageable.

In a moment, all of Peng Xuan's signature snacks were served, and a jar of rice wine was also placed in front of the two.

beep.

Zhu Ju personally poured wine for Peng Xuan, and the master and disciple drank a bowl first.

Ding!
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

"Ha - this wine is okay, but not as good as the one in the palace. When I get back to the palace, I'll go to the wine, vinegar and noodle shop to get two jars, and we'll continue."

Zhu Ju finished a bowl of rice wine, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile,

"If I had known that Master loved wine, I would have made more. I gave all the wine I made last time to my father-in-law."

Compared with Zhu Ju, Peng Xuan drinks more slowly.

He took two sips, drank half of it first, shook his head, and finally finished the remaining half bowl.

"Hic - don't make it too nice, otherwise my mouth will become spoiled and it will affect my ability to survive in the martial arts world."

Peng Xuan exhaled lightly and waved his hand.

Then he began to eat with relish.

"Master, what are you doing in Beijing this time?"

Zhu Ju had finished a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup and two sesame cakes. He was very satisfied at this moment. He patted his stomach and asked curiously.

Peng Xuan raised his eyes slightly.

"Isn't it because I'm worried about you?"

He wiped his mouth and said,
"The emperor sent an imperial edict to Mount Sanqing, saying that his two daughters-in-law were about to give birth, and asked me to go to the palace to help preserve the fetuses."

"I'm a Taoist priest, but I've become a midwife! Really... If your baby wasn't in there, I would have hidden in the deep mountains and forests and refused to be summoned! Come to me for everything..."

Zhu Ju chuckled and poured Peng Xuan another glass of wine.

"Master still loves me... But my child is also your disciple's grandson! It's only natural for you to take care of him!"

He said diligently,
"Come on, drink and drink!"

"With Master here, it looks like Miaoyun and Sister Chang are both safe!"

Zhu Ju has absolute confidence in his master! This old Taoist has never failed!
Peng Xuan took a sip of wine.

"That's not necessarily the case. It depends on the situation."

"If it is really stable, the imperial doctors in the palace would be enough. Why would they summon me? Your father has made a huge investment this time and promised me the position of Heavenly Master. You should know that the position of Heavenly Master has always been occupied by the Zhang family, and the title of Heavenly Master has been abolished since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty."

"Now your father wants to give it to me, and he also promised me to manage the Taoist affairs of the world! If it wasn't a difficult task, why would he do this?"

Zhu Ju: “?!”

Hearing this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Is there a risk?!

In an instant, words such as "difficult labor", "heavy hemorrhage", and "amniotic fluid embolism" flashed through his mind.

My originally peaceful heart suddenly became uneasy...

"Miaoyun, she...she's going to be okay, right?"

Zhu Ju said nervously,
"Did she have trouble having a baby?"

"Master, you have to be more careful! I only have one wife, and I don't plan to marry more. Nothing can go wrong!"

Peng Xuan rolled his eyes.

"When have I not tried my best to help you? When have I not paid attention to you?"

He hummed softly,

"I have already calculated it when you came. Don't worry! Miaoyun is fine. It is a very auspicious omen. Even if she finds a random country midwife, she can give birth smoothly. She is protected by the ten good gods. Besides, don't you know that the main god we worship, Dou Mu Yuanjun, has the power to protect mothers and babies? As her disciple, will she not take care of you?"

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up. "I see."

"Eh... if Miaoyun isn't the problem, doesn't that mean Sister Chang is in danger?"

"Is that right?"

Peng Xuan shook his head.

"I don't know. I'll see when the time comes. Your master is not a god, nor is he omniscient and almighty. He often responds to situations based on his own experience and abilities. Don't think too highly of me."

He said,

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You will find out when we get to the palace."

"Tell me about yourself. How have you been doing in the past six months? Have you gotten used to the Taoist methods I taught you?"

"Shall I test you?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ju's face suddenly turned bitter.

"This... Master, I have been away fighting for so long. Every day I am either running around or killing enemies. I have to worry about my life. How can I have time to practice..."

He said with a bit of guilt,
"I, I, I...I almost forgot everything."

"Of course, I still know the Beidou Sutra. How about I read a passage to you?"

Peng Xuan's face darkened.

"Have you almost forgotten? No wonder you look listless and don't look like a man of virtue!"

He spat.
"You must know that our cultivation is like rowing against the current. If we don't move forward, we will fall behind!"

"You've wasted half a year, which means you have to start from scratch! And you've even forgotten... The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly. I won't pass it on to you a second time! You figure it out on your own!"

Zhu Ju nodded and bowed repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes... I have a book of dharma in my palace. I can remember it by just flipping through it."

He said hurriedly,
"The battle is over. Your disciple completely destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty in this battle. You can practice well now!"

Peng Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Really?"

"Tell me how you fought this battle."

As a Taoist priest, he did not learn military tactics and had only some rough knowledge of warfare, so he was somewhat curious at this moment.

"Hehe, that's something to talk about."

"Let's pour the wine first, and let me explain slowly..."

The two of them ate the food and drank the wine. Peng Xuan listened to Zhu Ju's incessant talk, which he found quite interesting.

The drinking session lasted from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and the two men finally got up drunk.

"Not bad, not bad! You have used the shadow Gu to its full potential!"

Peng Xuan shook his head and praised,

"However, it can be considered as a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Fortunately, Yuan Sijun is stationed next to his father's grave, otherwise you would be like a headless fly."

"Every failure is a learning experience. Next time you use it to find someone, it must be a father looking for his son or a son looking for his father. It won't work between brothers. Do you understand?"

Zhu Ju nodded.

"After this use, I guess there won't be much use for it later."

He smiled and said,
"However, I do have an idea. It can be used to help parents whose children are lost or abducted to find their children."

"Master, this can be considered as doing good deeds, right?"

Peng Xuan laughed.

"Yes! Why not? The fact that you can think of this shows that you have taken the words of the founder Sanfeng to heart, 'Save the world and save people, and establish 1,300 virtues'!"

"In the past, the wizards and priests in the Miao village actually used this shadow Gu to help the tribesmen in the village find people to use."

"This shadow Gu is quite special. It can be used to help people find their relatives. It really works! Although the efficiency is a little low, it is idle anyway, so it might as well do some good deeds. It can be nourished by blood, and it will grow better."

Zhu Ju nodded.

"Speaking of Shadow Gu... Master, what is the origin of the Purple Clothes Organization?"

He patted the Chixiao Sword on the table and said,

“What they came up with was pretty cool.”

"I haven't used the dragon lantern yet. Here, this Chixiao sword was once worn by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang. They gave it to me."

"These things are impossible to obtain in the secular world! Not even the emperor can get them! But they have them."

Peng Xuan took the Chixiao Sword from Zhu Ju's hand, stroked it gently, and praised softly:
"Not bad, really good."

"This is a sword of an emperor with a special temperament. It belongs to Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty! He was the founding emperor who truly unified the country after the fall of the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty and founded the Han Dynasty! I personally think that his ability is not inferior to that of Qin Shihuang, and he even surpasses him! You should always carry this Chixiao sword with you. It can cultivate the aura of an emperor and increase your luck."

After some comments, he put the Chixiao Sword back on the table.

"If an organization has survived for thousands of years, then there is no need to be surprised at what strange things it has."

Peng Xuan looked up at Zhu Ju and said,

"Have you heard of Guigumen?"

Zhu Ju was slightly startled.

"I've heard of Guiguzi! The strategists Su Qin and Zhang Yi, as well as many other great figures, all came from his school."

He replied,
"Legend has it that he is an all-rounder, proficient in everything and can teach anything!"

"Besides, he seems to be practicing Taoism! Could it be that this purple-clothed group is the Guigu Sect?"

If that's the case, then this sect has existed for more than two thousand years!
"I'm just making an analogy. This Purple Clothes Organization is somewhat similar to the Guigu Sect."

Peng Xuan waved his hand and said,
"You don't need to delve too deeply into this. There are some things that I don't understand and am still exploring."

"You just need to know that these people have no ill will towards you. An organization that does not have a deep understanding of the laws of nature and morality cannot exist for so long."

"Look at how many families have been destroyed and dynasties replaced in ancient and modern times? The reason is that they do not respect the Tao and value virtue."

"The secret of longevity actually lies in the word morality. Morality exists between heaven and earth, so the Yin Fu Jing says: Observe the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, and you will be done."

"In fact, in the Beidou Sutra we practice, there is also... Oh, no, no, no, I'm getting off topic. It's easy to get off track when you talk, and you always talk about cultivation."

Zhu Ju nodded a little confused.

The master's idea is a bit too unconventional. He claims that he has a good understanding, but he can't keep up with the pace.

"You just need to remember that whether it is an individual, an organization, a sect, or even a dynasty, if they want to survive forever, they must follow the Way of Heaven and the Virtue of Earth. This is the core of cultivating immortals."

Peng Xuan picked up the bowl, drank the wine in it, and said with a smile,
"You little brat, I have taught you the secret method of cultivating the great way of immortality. You must comprehend it carefully! Go back and find a copy of the Tao Te Ching and read it carefully!"

Zhu Ju scratched his head.

Heart method?

What's the mentality?
Not to mention realizing it, I’m still confused about it!

"However, an individual or a small-scale organization may be able to understand morality, comprehend it, and practice it, and maintain longevity, but a dynasty cannot do that."

Peng Xuan said again,

"So, it is impossible for a dynasty to last forever. Don't be angry when I say this. Even your Ming Dynasty will fall one day."

Zhu Ju nodded.

"What's there to be angry about? I agree with this statement."

He said,

"The Han and Tang dynasties were so powerful, but they also fell. How could the Ming Dynasty escape this historical law?"

"I only hope that the Ming Dynasty can surpass the Han and Tang dynasties when it is glorious, survive a few more years when it is declining, and leave the stage with dignity. If so... I will be satisfied."

Peng Xuan nodded slightly.

"Your idea is very practical. I think it can be done."

He said,

"Then you must remember to take some time to go to Changbai Mountain and capture the dragon vein spirit of the North Dragon and inject it into the ancestral tomb of your Zhu family."

"In this way, it shouldn't be a problem to extend it for another hundred years. I would never reveal this secret, but since they gave you the Dragon Lantern, it means that the Ming Dynasty should have this extension, so I revealed it to you. This is not against heaven."

Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows.

Is this the continuation of the Ming Dynasty?
This... could it be because I came to this world?
"...Okay, I'll go there when I'm free."

he said.

There is no rush for this matter, as the Ming Dynasty has just been founded!

pat!

Zhu Ju threw down a piece of silver and supported Peng Xuan, saying:
"Let's go, Master. If we're any later the palace will be closed!"

"Hiss - after drinking some wine and feeling the wind, I feel a bit cold!"

He tightened his sleeves, led the horse, and walked towards the Forbidden City with Peng Xuan.

As we get closer to the winter solstice, the days become shorter.

The two had only walked a few steps when it was already dark. People on the street were all hurrying to and fro, and merchants were closing their stalls.

Street patrols also began to emerge.

Da da da!
Da da da!
Unconsciously, both the master and the disciple quickened their pace, but after rushing for a long time, they arrived at the Forbidden City, but still failed to make it in time.

At this moment, the palace gates were closed.

"Stop whoever comes!"

"Anyone who trespasses into the palace will be beheaded!"

On the palace wall, the general guarding the gate had a serious expression, with a hint of murderous intent between his brows.

The soldiers beside him had already held the bows and arrows in their hands, ready to take action at any time.

Your Majesty has issued a strict order that anyone who breaks into the palace without reason will be killed!

"Your face doesn't work here?"

Peng Xuan said jokingly with a playful look in his eyes.

Zhu Ju: “…”

"It must be because it was too dark and they couldn't see clearly."

He muttered something, then shouted,
"Open the door, open the door!"

"I am the King of Wu! Open the door for me!"

When the gatekeeper general heard this, he was startled at first, then he looked carefully and became very angry!
"Where did this black man come from? How dare you impersonate His Royal Highness the King of Wu!"

He scolded,

"Do you think I've never seen His Royal Highness the King of Wu? His Royal Highness the King of Wu is handsome and elegant, not like you who are slovenly and dark-skinned? If you say you are His Royal Highness the King of Hell, it's not likely to be credible."

"Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Wu is still leading his troops in the north and has not returned yet! You are so bold!"

"Come on! Capture him!"

Impersonating a prince is a serious crime!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"nigger!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Xuan burst into laughter.

Zhu Ju's face darkened and he touched his face again.

Shit, is it that dark?

The ultraviolet rays on the grassland seem to be really strong...

bang bang bang!
The palace gate opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out, walked up to Zhu Ju, and surrounded the two of them.

The gatekeeping general also ran down and was about to give an order when he saw Peng Xuan next to Zhu Ju.

"You are... Master Peng!"

He said with some doubt,
"You are coming to the capital at the order of His Majesty, right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already ordered that if Master Peng arrives, he must be welcomed into the palace at any time."

He still had an impression of Peng Xuan.

After all, there was a period of time when Peng Xuan frequently went in and out of the palace and was a guest of honor to His Majesty.

"Haha, it's me, it's me."

Peng Xuan was still grinning from ear to ear at this moment and responded.

"You are Master Peng, and this is..."

"Oh my God! It's really His Royal Highness the King of Wu! Your Highness, how did you become so dark? I can't even recognize you!"

Zhu Ju: “#￥%……&@#”

boom!
He slapped the other man's helmet and cursed:

"If you take a walk on the grassland, you will become dark too!"

"Damn it! What's wrong with being a little darker? Men should be darker, that's how they can be called manly! What's good about being white and clean like a woman?"

"Let me in now, or I'll skin you alive! Damn it!"

The guard lost all his temper after hearing his curses, and instead became extremely frightened.

Thinking of the arrogant words he just uttered, my teeth are chattering a little now!
"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Please come into the palace quickly, and Master Peng, please come in."

Princes of Zhu Ju's rank do not need to report before entering the palace.

"Why didn't you say hello when you came back? Please walk slowly... I will report to His Majesty and the Queen right away!"

After saying this, the guard ran away without a trace.

He knew that His Royal Highness Prince Wu's sudden return home was definitely a huge surprise for His Majesty and the Queen!

"You have no sense."

Zhu Ju snorted and muttered,

"Even if I were as black as coal, I would still be able to recognize him! Such a handsome face, such perfect facial features, would I be completely unrecognizable if he were a little bit darker?"

"Really..."

Peng Xuan was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, come on, come on, stop being so conceited. You just got home, go reunite with your parents and wife first!"

He warned,

"I have a temporary residence in the palace. You don't have to worry about me. Go and fulfill your filial duties first!"

After saying that, Peng Xuan turned around and left, looking as if he was very familiar with the place.

"it is good."

Zhu Ju nodded, turned to look straight ahead, and said thoughtfully,

"Should I go to Chunhe Palace first, or Kunning Palace first?"

"Well... let's go to Kunning Palace first!"

Just as Master said, you should first fulfill your filial duty and let your mother know that you are safe. Then it will not be too late for you and your spouse to show your affection to each other!
