Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 200 Zhu Yunwen cried!
For the Lü family!

This life.

The biggest nightmare is the two of us.

One.

She was none other than the former Empress Consort of the Eastern Palace, the principal wife of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Lady Chang.

She's here.

Everything in the former Eastern Palace was under her control.

There's another one.

That was Zhu Xiong Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, who was once showered with love and whose position was unshakeable.

And there is this child in front of me.

He looks exactly like Zhu Xiong Ying from back then.

No.

Perhaps it can't be described as exactly the same; we can only say that they are about 70-80% similar.

They're practically identical, cut from the same mold.

Just at first glance.

It was as if Lady Lü saw Zhu Xiong Ying appear before her eyes.

"impossible."

"This is a ghost story."

"He can't possibly still be alive."

"impossible……"

Lady Lü stared intently at Zhu Wenxi, completely stunned, and even staggered and fell to the ground in fright.

See this scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, both sitting on the dragon throne, were taken aback and looked at Lady Lü with confusion.

"Mother concubine."

Zhu Yunwen reacted quickly, rushing forward to support Lady Lü, while calling out in confusion and panic.

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's voice.

Lady Lü finally came to her senses, but her gaze remained fixed on Zhu Wenxi. However, as if sensing the strange looks from Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, Lady Lü quickly lowered her head.

"impossible."

"That bastard Zhu Xiong Ying is dead."

“I saw him buried in Xiaoling with my own eyes; he couldn’t possibly still be alive.”

"I must have seen it wrong, I must have seen it wrong."

As she lowered her head, Madam Lü secretly thought to herself that she had misjudged the situation.

but.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lü Shi secretly glanced at Zhu Wenxi.

This look.

My heart was still pounding with shock.

perhaps.

This is the feeling of having a guilty conscience.

"Mother concubine."

Zhu Yunwen looked at his mother with great concern and whispered.

only.

He also noticed his mother's gaze and looked up out of the corner of his eye. When he saw the infant in his father's arms, Zhu Yunwen trembled and was completely stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief.

“Big…Big Brother…”

Subconsciously.

Zhu Yunwen then called out softly, "Big Brother."

And upon hearing this sound...

Zhu Yunwen, who had been keeping his head down and appearing extremely weak, showing no signs of being a member of the royal family, was taken aback. He first looked at Zhu Yunwen with surprise and confusion.

But then.

He also noticed that Zhu Yunwen and his mother were looking into the main hall.

Zhu Yunwen was filled with trepidation and fear, the kind of trepidation that comes from not daring to face his imperial grandfather and father. When he secretly glanced at the infant in Zhu Biao's arms, Zhu Yunwen was completely stunned. He would never forget that face.

The old days.

It was this figure who had always protected him, even though he was born into a family that had caused the death of his mother, his elder brother had always protected him.

"Big brother."

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but shout it out as well.

Their almost identical appearances caused Zhu Yunwen, like his mother and son, to completely forget reality.
This scene.

This left Zhu Yunwen completely stunned.

Upon seeing it, he felt an overwhelming sense of grievance, and tears welled up in his eyes.

now.

Of the five people who had just entered the hall, apart from the two young sons of Lady Lü, the other three were completely stunned, especially Zhu Yunwen.

See this.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have figured something out, and he also glanced at Zhu Wenxi in Zhu Biao's arms.

"Ugh."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, but did not get angry.

after all.

Zhu Wenxi looks remarkably like his eldest grandson.

This is also a key reason why Zhu Biao adopted him as his godson.

How could Lady Lü and Zhu Yunwen not remember!

"Grandpa Jun."

Why are they all staring at me?

Under the intense gaze of the three men, Zhu Wenxi tilted his head in confusion and looked at Zhu Biao, asking a question.

This childish voice broke the eerie silence within the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Shen Yu'er watched silently without saying a word.

When Zhu Biao adopted his son as his godson, Shen Yu'er had already suspected something was amiss and had Lin Fu secretly send someone to inquire. As a result, they actually found out some things.

The old days.

A dozen years ago.

There really is a secret in the palace that no one dares to mention.

Zhu Xiong Ying, the former eldest grandson of the emperor, died of smallpox.

She passed away along with the former Empress Ma.

Perhaps it was because his son resembled Zhu Xiong Ying that he received special attention from Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who even adopted him as his godson.

This is the root cause.

After learning about this...

Shen Yu'er couldn't help but marvel inwardly, but she dared not say anything, after all, this was a great thing for her husband and her son.

To be able to form such a connection with the current crown prince is clearly a great thing.

In the future, the Zhu family will also usher in its golden age.

Therefore, Shen Yu'er was not too surprised by the astonishment of the Lu family. They were probably just surprised by their son's appearance.

Apart from that.

There is no other possibility.

"All right."

"Don't just stand there."

"This is Zhu Wenxi, the adopted grandson of Gu Shou."

"He is also the son of the youngest and most valiant Marquis of Champion in our Great Ming Dynasty."

Seeing the stunned Lu family members, Zhu Biao still spoke up, without getting angry, but with a smile.

Zhu Biao's voice brought the Lü family back to reality.

"Zhu Wenxi!"

"Son of the Marquis of Champion".

Lady Lü stared at the scene for a moment, her heart filled with shock and astonishment.

Obviously.

The striking resemblance made her almost unable to process what she had just witnessed, as if she were in another world.

"No wonder...no wonder the Crown Prince would take the son of the Marquis of Champion as his adopted grandson."

"So it turns out they look so alike."

"So many years."

"Even the Crown Prince hasn't forgotten that bastard."

Madam Lü felt incredibly conflicted, harboring an unspeakable resentment. However, she kept it all to herself and dared not show it.

"Zhu Wenxi?"

"How could there be two people in this world who look so alike?" Zhu Yunwen's expression was also extremely complicated.

If his mother had a great deal of trauma from the past Zhu Xiong Ying, then so did his son.

The old days.

When Zhu Xiong Ying was alive, who could rival him?
The old days.

When Zhu Xiong Ying was around, he could only be overshadowed by his brilliance, like an ant.

Nobody paid any attention to him; all eyes were on him. He was the chosen one, an unparalleled chosen one.

This made Zhu Yunwen both envious and resentful.

But for Zhu Yunwen, this brought an indescribable sense of disappointment.

After seeing Zhu Wenxi.

How he wished that the person before him was his elder brother who had returned.

Unfortunately... no!
"Big brother."

"If only you were back."

"If you come back, I won't be bullied by the Lü family anymore."

"We can go back to the way things were."

Zhu Yunwen felt incredibly wronged, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

For him.

Living under the control of the Lü family for many years, he suffered bullying but dared not resist. Perhaps he was inherently cowardly, or perhaps he had endured unimaginable suffering since birth.

After all, his mother had a difficult childbirth because of him, he was considered unlucky, and his father hated him.

He used to have his elder brother's protection, but after his elder brother left, everything was gone.

"Yunxun."

"why are you crying?"

"You're so old, and you're still crying all the time."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his gaze and it fell directly on Zhu Yunwen.

Of the few people who entered the hall, only Zhu Yunwen was like this. Although he knew it was because he saw Zhu Wenxi and perhaps thought of his elder brother, as a descendant of the royal family, he was actually displeased by this situation.

"Reporting to my grandfather."

"Grandson...Grandson is thinking of his elder brother."

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yunwen immediately wiped away the tears in his eyes, then bowed deeply in fear, not daring to refute anything.

him at the moment.

With his head bowed and meek, he appeared extremely pathetic.

Despite being a descendant of royalty, he lacked even the slightest bit of the bearing befitting one.

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao disliked it.

"There's no need to mention this matter again."

"Our grandson should always be mindful of the demeanor befitting a member of the royal family," Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't Zhu Yunwen's crying that displeased Zhu Yuanzhang, but rather Zhu Yunwen's submissive and timid demeanor from top to bottom that displeased him.

How could the legitimate son of the Crown Prince be like this?

"Yes," Zhu Yunwen replied immediately.

And this time!
Lady Lü immediately came to her senses and respectfully said, "Father! Yun Tong is still young, and it is inevitable that he will be moved by the scene. Moreover, his personality is naturally so gentle."

When saying this.

While seemingly speaking in support of Zhu Yunwen, the words actually carried a derogatory connotation. As a descendant of the imperial family and the legitimate son of the crown prince, he was labeled as weak, which was indeed inappropriate. Moreover, Zhu Yunwen dared not utter a single word in the face of Lady Lü's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang's displeasure deepened, and Zhu Biao also looked disappointed.

Zhu Biao may have disliked Zhu Yunwen from the moment he was born, and Zhu Yunwen's behavior in the years that followed only made him dislike him more.

"However, Father."

"Husband."

"This Wenxi really looks just like Xiong Ying from back then. I was quite startled when I first saw her. I thought... I thought..."

That's it.

Lady Lü immediately stopped and dared not continue speaking.

After all, Zhu Xiong Ying's death had always been a taboo subject for Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

"perhaps."

"This must be fate."

"May there be people in this world who are so much like Yu-Ai."

"And it is thanks to Biao'er that he has found solace in this," Zhu Yuanzhang said gently, his gaze softening as he looked at Zhu Biao.

"Yes."

Zhu Biao nodded in deep agreement.

Then he put Zhu Wenxi down from his arms.

"Xi'er".

"I've met this grandmother, and these uncles as well."

Zhu Biao spoke to Zhu Wenxi with great gentleness and kindness.

The extent of this favoritism made Lady Lü tremble in her heart, as if Zhu Xiong Ying from the past had reappeared.

but.

She suppressed all her trembling, not daring to show it. On the contrary, facing Zhu Wenxi's face, which she loathed to the extreme, she could only suppress it, endure it, and put on a kind and gentle smile when looking at Zhu Wenxi.

Although she wished she could tear Zhu Wenxi to pieces, even knowing that the person in front of her was not the Zhu Xiong Ying of the past, looking at this face filled Lu Shi with hatred.

And then he heard what Zhu Biao said.

Without any hesitation or fear, Zhu Wenxi immediately bowed respectfully to Madam Lü, saying, "Greetings, Grandmother."

Then he looked at Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuntong and said very politely, "Greetings, uncles."

At less than two years old, he behaved so well.

This is truly unprecedented.

"Damn it."

"Even his demeanor is the same as that of that bastard back then."

"If I hadn't seen that bastard die, I would have really thought it was him."

Seeing Zhu Wenxi's confident and proper demeanor, Madam Lü felt that this young son was increasingly resembling Zhu Xiong Ying from back then.

Demeanor, appearance.

They're exactly the same!

but.

Suppressing her anger and rage, Madam Lü behaved very politely and said kindly, "Xi'er, no wonder my husband likes you so much. It's rare to see someone so young as you who is so intelligent and polite."

"Xi'er is indeed quite good."

"He will surely be a pillar of our Great Ming Dynasty in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, very satisfied with Zhu Wenxi's performance.

"What Father says is absolutely right."

"Xi'er will definitely become a pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future." Zhu Biao smiled in agreement, very satisfied.

And this time!
Zhu Biao seemed to have thought of something as well.

Then he looked at Shen Yu'er, who was standing to the side without saying a word.

"This is the wife of the Marquis of Champion, and also the third-rank imperial consort bestowed upon me by my father, the Emperor, Shen Yu'er."

"Haven't you always wanted to see me?"

“Today is just right,” Zhu Biao said, pointing at Shen Yu’er.

This was also introduced to the Lü family.

Hear this!

Without the slightest hesitation, Madam Lü immediately smiled at Shen Yu'er, displaying extreme intimacy: "Madam Zhu! I have heard of the Champion Marquis's many military achievements and have long wanted to meet Madam Zhu. Now that I have seen her, Madam Zhu is truly stunningly beautiful, a beauty that could topple kingdoms."

"They are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

In response to Lady Lü's praise, Shen Yu'er immediately smiled, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "I have long heard that Lady Lü manages the Eastern Palace very well and is a wise and capable assistant to His Highness the Crown Prince. It is my honor to meet you today."

Originally, Madam Lü was somewhat dissatisfied, but upon hearing Shen Yu'er's praise, she now showed an even happier smile.

after all.

Shen Yu'er's praise was particularly eye-catching, directly pointing out the flaws in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

A wise and capable wife!
Managing the Eastern Palace.

These are all duties of the principal wife.

Shen Yu'er's praise made Madam Lü feel quite flattered.

"Madam Zhu is truly virtuous."

"No wonder she is the wife of the Marquis of Champion," Lady Lü praised with a smile.
