My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 1 Zhu Gaoyu

The twenty-fourth year of Hongwu.

Peking City.

Accompanied by a baby's cry, a wrinkled baby was born.

Xu Miaoyun's face turned pale, but when she heard the powerful cry, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

Outside.

It's snowing heavily.

The Prince of Yan had eyebrows as dark as ink, and a pair of tiger eyes that were full of spirit. He stood under the eaves, his ink-colored cloak covered with a light layer of snow.

This is his fourth legitimate son.

At that time, Zhu Di was already over thirty years old.

Seeing that his wife had safely gone through the difficulties of childbirth, Zhu Di finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at the horizon. At this time, the morning light was dim and a hint of paleness was revealed.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then decided on the name of his fourth son:

"爔 means fire, and it can also be seen as the light of heaven. The light of heaven suddenly breaks through, and it is bright and dazzling. Let's call the fourth brother Zhu Gao爔!"

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Gaoyu was already nine months old.

But what worries Xu Miaoyun is that generally, precocious children can speak when they are seven months old.

But Zhu Gaoyu's mouth was like a clam since he was a child. No matter how he was coaxed, he just refused to speak.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun sighing for her youngest son, the maid beside her comforted him slowly:

"Your Highness, good things take time. You can't be impatient when it comes to speaking. Who knows, maybe one day His Highness will realize it and recite the Three Character Classic backwards."

Xu Miaoyun sighed again and said faintly:
"Rather than being a prodigy who can recite things by heart, I want this child to live a peaceful life. Peace and safety are better than wealth and glory."

Zhu Gaoyu tilted his head, looked at his mother, blinked, then reached out his hand, hugged Xu Miaoyun's neck, and rubbed her gently with his fair cheek.

Mother is so sweet.

When Zhu Gaoyu thought of the word "tie tie", he used his limited brain capacity to effortfully recall the image in his mind.

He was undoubtedly Zhu Gaoyu, but when he was three months old, an extra memory suddenly appeared in his mind.

The memories play out in my mind like a passing show.

The person in my memory is also Zhu Gaoyu.

But his life was unremarkable. He had an ordinary family background at the beginning, and then had mediocre grades in school. In the end, he just barely passed the score line and got into an ordinary second-tier university.

But these are of little use to Zhu Gaoyu, who lives in the city of Beiping.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoyu stuck out his butt again and moved back and forth on the couch.

Just like a sentence I remember, children should act like children.

All children need is to be happy.

Why do you think so much?

Babies sleep a lot, so after a while, they get tired.

He simply fell asleep with his butt sticking up, his face turned to the side, and drooling.

Even with this sleeping position, you can still have a sound sleep.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui ran in, sweating profusely. Before they could say anything, they each took a teacup and gulped down the tea without caring that it was still hot.

Zhu Gaosui was young and jumped up and down when he was burned. Zhu Gaoxu was a little better, but he also grimaced. When Xu Miaoyun was eleven or twelve years old, she was hated by everyone. When she saw the two mud monkeys banging as soon as they entered the room, she subconsciously stepped forward and covered Zhu Gaoxu's ears.

Then, she scolded in a low voice:

"Your brother just fell asleep and he's already bothering me again. It's May in Peking and he's sweating all over but doesn't even know how to wipe it off. He's caught a cold and has to complain about the bitter medicine the doctor prescribed. When the time comes, tell me and I'll call your father over!"

As soon as they heard the word "Dad", they immediately became obedient.

But he didn't stay quiet for long. Zhu Gaosui pointed at Zhu Gaoyu's sleeping posture and laughed:
"Mom, look at my brother's sleeping posture. He looks like the puppy that my eldest brother keeps."

Xu Miaoyun was extremely angry.

Who said my younger brother looks like a puppy?

Even if the dog belongs to the old family, it won’t work!

Xu Miaoyun looked at the two mud monkeys and started to scold them again.

After doing all this, she turned around to look at Zhu Gaoyu. Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, Xu Miaoyun shook her head and laughed:
"This child is quite well-behaved. He has never made trouble since he was little."

This sleep was complete and dark.

When he woke up, Zhu Gaoyu was already starving. After crying out "ah" a few times in a hurry, he called Xu Miaoyun and the wet nurse beside him.

He raised his body and made a fuss towards Xu Miaoyun for a while.

After finally waiting for the goat milk to warm up, he gobbled it up mouthful after mouthful like a hungry wolf.

Since regaining his memory, Zhu Gaoyu believed that as a thoughtful man, he should stop the wet nurse from feeding him.

It’s a pity that the arm is not as strong as the thigh.

It was not until July now that Zhu Gaoyu was finally able to drink goat milk because he had grown so strong and truly resisted breastfeeding.

Goat milk has a slight smell, but after adding some jasmine flowers and cooking it, it tastes much better.

I saw my youngest son drinking up the goat's milk in one gulp.

The smile on Xu Miaoyun's face couldn't stop shining.

The wet nurses nearby, seeing Zhu Gaoyu finishing the goat's milk with great pride, gave him a bunch of compliments:
"Your Highness drinks milk like wine, and he will surely become a great general in the future!"

"Your Highness is a big and strong boy, and I don't need to chase him to feed him. I have never seen a child as worry-free as Your Highness!"

When Zhu Gaoyu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head proudly.

He is the general!
he!
Zhu Gaoyu!
You can drink three bowls of milk!
Zhu Gaoyu arched his butt up from the couch, and finally arched into my mother's arms. He smelled the faint floral and fruity fragrance on her body and squinted his eyes comfortably.

Xu Miaoyun's warm palm covered Zhu Gaoyu's head.

Seeing the dark and bright eyes of her youngest son, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but speak:
"You little rascal, you are good at being lazy, but you just won't talk. You brothers are all here to collect debts from me."

Zhu Gaoyu felt a little guilty about this. He grinned and gave his mother a toothless smile.

sweet.

so cute.

In response to the fourth brother's rogue behavior, Xu Miaoyun nodded at him a few times with both anger and laughter, then turned around and began to deal with the affairs of the mansion.

The chores, big and small, in the mansion may seem few, but when accumulated together, they are enough to keep Xu Miaoyun busy.

Not to mention that in half a month, it will be the fourth child’s first birthday party.

When she thought of the first birthday party, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but look sad.

If the fourth child doesn't speak at the first birthday party, there's no guarantee that rumors won't spread.

Seeing that the current situation is becoming more and more bizarre and complicated, and the crown prince has just passed away, if at this time, someone uses the fourth brother to make a fuss and throw dirty water on the prince, who knows what the old man on the dragon throne will think.
