Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 11 Young Couple

"You have the fire in your heart, and you have the ability to vent it on the old man. What kind of ability is it to argue with a woman like me?"

"You ate three bowls less this morning, so I specially asked someone to prepare some chicken soup. Wasn't it because I was afraid you would be hungry?"

"In order not to hinder your work, I waited outside for you to finish drinking."

"Look, the soup is getting cold. I was thinking of heating it up for you." The Crown Princess responded forcefully.

She knew that the anger and frustration in Zhu Gaochi's heart all came from these memorials.

Over the years, their family has worked diligently and completed all the tasks assigned by Zhu Di.

Try to complete it as soon as possible, but sometimes, you can't avoid Zhu Di's blame.

Zhu Gaochi in particular would be scolded for anything he did not do in the slightest while handling state affairs.

Zhu Gaochi was under great mental pressure, but she was also under a lot of pressure managing the harem.

The food, clothing and other expenses of the harem, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others, the weather is getting colder, and they need to buy new clothes.

The weather is getting hot, so you need to change your clothes, think about what to eat every day to be good for your health, etc.

She had to personally take care of all matters, big or small, for fear of displeasing Zhu Di.

Now her concern was met with a scolding from Zhu Gaochi, so she naturally felt a little aggrieved.

"If it really doesn't work, I will personally make a new copy of these dirty memorials for you."

Although her talent is not as good as those of the scholars in the Hanlin Academy, nor as good as those students who have studied hard for decades.

But at least you can copy these yourself.

"From now on, I won't step over the threshold of your study, okay?"

Zhu Gaochi was speechless after being rebuked, and he felt helpless as he looked at the Crown Princess who looked as aggrieved as a little wife.

He quickly stood up, holding on to the table.

He is busy with official duties every day, and his biggest hobby is eating and drinking.

If it is really as the Crown Princess said, and if no food is sent to me, then my days in the future will be very miserable.

"Look at you, look at you..."

Zhu Gaochi pouted, pondered for a moment, and sighed slightly. After all, the Crown Princess was his wife.

Besides, if there was no Crown Princess, he might not be able to hold on to the position of Crown Prince.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I was wrong."

"I was also a little upset by these memorials sent by the old man. I apologize for implicating you."

Seeing Zhu Gaochi lower his head, the Crown Princess could not move forward.

"This old man is really something. He just brought a bunch of memorials here so easily."

"I left all these matters to you to handle, but I ran out of the palace."

"If you do well, you'll be scolded. If you do badly, you'll also be scolded."

"Wasn't it a waste of all this effort?"

It's natural to be scolded if you do a bad job.

But no matter how well Zhu Gaochi did, Zhu Di would find fault with him, since he would be criticized no matter whether he did well or not.

So what is the difference between doing good things and not doing good things?

"You better shut up. If the old man hears this, our lives will be in danger."

Zhu Gaochi quickly covered the Crown Princess's mouth.

In such a huge harem, only the Crown Princess dared to speak ill of Zhu Di.

Even Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to say this, for fear that it would reach Zhu Di's ears.

Although his power in the court is now stable and his position as crown prince is as solid as a rock.

But in reality, his position as crown prince was just a matter of a word from Zhu Di.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's cowardly look, the Crown Princess smiled.

"Look at how cowardly you are."

The atmosphere in the study instantly eased a lot.

Although they have quarrels, they are still a family and are of one mind after all.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mom and Dad, I heard you arguing when I got to the door. What happened?"

Looking at Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochi showed a hint of envy on his face.

As the eldest son, he had been loved by Zhu Di since he was a child and didn't have to do anything.

He became the emperor's eldest grandson and was praised every day.

And he worked so hard every day, and the thing he looked forward to most was not to be scolded by his father today. "Hey, nothing, how come you have time to come back today."

Zhu Gaochi slowly sat back in his seat, picked up the memorial on the table with his fat hands, and narrowed his eyes.

I was worried that I would be able to review all the piles of memorials today.

Although Zhu Di did not give a deadline for when the payment should be made, that was Zhu Di's character.

If you are in a good mood, you may not want to read for ten days or half a month.

Are you in a bad mood? You have to wait for one day but haven't finished marking the papers? Are you lazy? Then he said that he couldn't do this job well. He is already very familiar with it.

Zhu Zhanji sighed slightly.

"I was just about to go play chess with Grandpa today, but he wasn't in the palace."

"I looked around but couldn't find it."

After saying this, he looked towards the Crown Princess standing beside him.

And asked: "Mom, what did Zhao De say to you just now?"

The Crown Princess sighed.

"The old man said that he would not return to the palace tonight and asked the palace to send him some bedding."

"that's it."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up instantly.

Sending bedding? This is a good opportunity.

"Mom, I'll go and take it."

The Crown Princess sighed and wanted to say something, but hesitated.

"Hu Shangyi will bring the bedding over later. Zhao De and the others are waiting at the north gate of the palace. You can go and deliver it."

Zhu Zhanji was very excited to get his mother's permission, and ran away happily.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he went straight to find Hu Shangyi, and then went to the north gate to find Zhao De.

By under the pretext of delivering bedding, Zhu Di was able to be found.

Looking at her son who was very out of tune, the Crown Princess felt a little worried.

"This kid."

Zhu Gaochi's eyelids drooped, he didn't even raise his eyes, and muttered through his thick lips.

“Okay, don’t worry about Zhanji. The old man dotes on him very much, nothing will happen.”

Zhu Zhanji was always an exception in Zhu Di's eyes.

Anyone who rashly inquired about Zhu Di's whereabouts would basically be punished with death.

If you inquire about the emperor's whereabouts, no one knows whether it is to assassinate him, so no matter what the reason, anyone who inquires without permission will be killed.

Even the Crown Prince and Crown Princess did not dare to inquire about Zhu Di's whereabouts unless it was necessary.

Although the crime is not punishable by death, the good impression is slowly eroded by these doubts.

Zhu Zhanji could.

After Zhu Zhanji left, the Crown Princess picked up the wet documents and cleaned up the remaining stains.

Then he spoke.

"I'll get you a bowl of hot chicken soup."

Zhu Gaochi smiled faintly and teased.

"Didn't you say you would help me re-transcribe these dirty memorials?"

Hearing this, the Crown Princess said helplessly.

"If you really want me to die, then I will copy it."

Zhu Gaochi waved his hands quickly.

"Okay, I'm just hungry, go get me some bowls of hot chicken soup."

Both of them knew that there were some things that could be said but not done.

These memorials were wet and dirty and needed to be re-copied, but it was impossible to really let the Crown Princess copy them.

After all, according to the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

These memorials record state affairs, and copying them is also a way of interfering in state affairs.

As long as she really dares to copy it down in person, her end will not be far away.

Zhu Di was a suspicious person, so even though she was his daughter-in-law, he would never show leniency to her.

The only exception was Empress Xu, who had passed away long ago.
