The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 39: The King's Consecration in the Imperial Ancestral Temple
Swish swish.

Zhu Ju painted as he pleased. Seeing that he ignored her, Xu Miaoyun pursed her lips and stopped talking, just staring at the drawing board.

On the rice paper, a man and a woman were outlined. The woman was holding a long sword, which was across the man's neck.

The man leaned back and raised his hands as if trying to explain.

However, what surprised Xu Miaoyun was that Zhu Ju stopped drawing after outlining the two people's contours. He didn't even draw their facial features or eyes. There were only two heads.

"Your Highness, why don't you paint your face?"

She couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked.

Zhu Ju slightly side-glanced at her.

"This is called stream of consciousness. It's all about the mood, okay?"

He replied,
"Don't you think there's an indescribable hazy beauty to this?"

Xu Miaoyun nodded slightly.

Indeed, the painting gave her an indescribable feeling.

It seems to be a bit sad, and there seems to be some other complex emotions in it, which cannot be described or explained.

"Why did the woman in the painting point her sword at the man?"

She couldn't help asking again.

"Because Zhizunbao deceived his feelings."

"Oh, this man's name is Zhizunbao... What's the woman's name?"

"Zixia."

"Zixia...what a beautiful name. Did Zixia kill Zhizunbao in the end?"

"No."

"why is that?"

Zhu Ju became a little impatient with Xu Miaoyun's questions, so he grabbed the rice paper on the drawing board and crumpled it into a ball.

"Little sister, you are so annoying."

He said with some displeasure,
"Do you usually chatter and ask questions like this at home?"

Xu Miaoyun was stunned.

The next second, a trace of mist appeared in her eyes.

"me……"

Her voice trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips and couldn't utter a word.

This was the first time that I finally mustered up the courage to talk to a strange boy, but he treated me harshly...

"Zhu Ju, how do you talk to Miao Yun?"

Ma Xiuying noticed the situation here, and seeing Xu Miaoyun's eyes were blurry with tears, she immediately scolded,
"What's wrong with someone chatting with you? Your attitude is so bad, why don't you apologize to Miaoyun!"

Zhu Ju curled his lips.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong."

He stood up and threw the paper ball in his hand, and said to Xu Miaoyun,

"Because Zhizunbao lied to her again. And this lie made Zixia fall in love with him completely."

Xu Miaoyun was a little confused. She didn't quite understand, but she still hummed softly.

"...Can you please not throw it away? I think it's a very good painting."

She looked at the crumpled paper ball on the ground, gritted her teeth, and mustered up her courage again.
"Can you give it to me?"

Zhu Ju scratched his head.

"I just drew it casually, if you like it, take it."

After saying that, he waved to Ma Xiuying and said,
"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to sleep first."

Having said that, Zhu Ju left the courtyard and went straight back to his bedroom.

"This boy!"

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Ju's departing back and said with some displeasure,
"He has a very irritable temper and can't stay still for even a moment. I really need to discipline him in the future!"

After a slight pause, she turned her gaze to Xu Miaoyun, and her expression immediately became kind again.

"Come here, Miaoyun girl, come here, let me take a good look..."

This girl is her key focus and is destined to become a princess in the future!
……

a few days later.

"hurry up!"

"Don't dawdle. Today is the day you brothers will be crowned kings. If you miss this opportunity, I will be unable to stop your father from getting angry!" "Are you dressed? Why is your crown crooked? I told you to get up early but you didn't listen! You are really... Cuizhu!!"

Ma Xiuying roared, and the Kunning Palace was in chaos.

Several maids took turns to help Zhu Ju put on the prince's crown.

"This is so uncomfortable..."

Zhu Ju frowned and kept adjusting his posture.

But no matter how I adjust, it still feels uncomfortable.

Especially the crown on the head, which has tassels, nine tassels in front and back. It sways when she walks, and if she is not careful, the beads will hit her eyes.

"That's right, it's a formal dress. If you don't have good manners, the ceremonial officer won't have to do anything. The formal dress will teach you how to correct your manners."

Ma Xiuying said with a smile as she helped Zhu Ju straighten his clothes.
"Okay, Junlang!"

"As expected of my son!"

Although this prince's crown is not comfortable to wear, it looks elegant and luxurious to outsiders, and can bring out a person's nobility to the extreme!

Ma Xiuying was more and more satisfied as she looked at him. She put her arm around Zhu Ju's shoulders and said:
"Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

"Show off!"

The mother and son got on the carriage one after another and hurried towards the Taimiao.

……

In the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The princes had already been dressed and stood in their designated positions, maintaining their posture and not daring to move rashly.

Standing in the front is Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who will preside over today's coronation ceremony.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he sat aside and watched the ceremony.

"Your Majesty, the time is almost up."

The official in charge of ceremonies glanced at the sun and whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang,

"The Sixth Prince and the Queen haven't arrived yet. How about... go and urge them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"Don't they know what day it is?"

"Zhu Ju doesn't understand, doesn't my sister care about it? It's really outrageous!"

"Go and hurry up! We can't waste time!"

Ever since Zhu Ju returned to the palace, the girl seems to have become a little unreliable.

Come to think of it, it must be that Zhu Ju who slept in again and got up late!
After the ceremony is over, I must teach him a lesson!

"Yes."

The eunuch nodded and walked out quickly.

When the princes heard their father's words, they couldn't help but look around.

Sure enough, the position of Lao Liu was still vacant.

"This kid is really bold... How dare he be late on a day like this?"

"Tsk tsk... I'm really getting more and more interested in him. He's been in my mother's palace these days since I returned to the palace, and I haven't seen him yet..."

"Hey, what is Second Brother mumbling with his eyes closed?"

"Him? He must be praying that Old Six will miss the good opportunity, and then be severely punished by the emperor! Hahahaha..."

"..."

The princes were whispering to each other, and when they talked about something interesting, they couldn't help laughing.

"quiet!"

Zhu Biao raised his brows and gave the order.

Swish.

The princes instantly became as quiet as chickens, straightened their postures, and dared not laugh anymore.

As the eldest brother, you still have a certain prestige among your younger brothers.

"Why hasn't Sixth Brother come yet?"

Zhu Biao restrained his brothers, looked towards the door, and said with a frown,
"It's such an important ceremony, please don't miss the time..."

As I was silently reciting, the sound of hurried footsteps finally came, followed by a loud shout.

"My grandson is here too!"
