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

Chapter 201 Zhu Xiong Ying: Yun Tong, what will you do if your older brother is no longer here?

immediately!

As if she had thought of something, Lady Lü smiled at Shen Yu'er and said, "Although I am just a woman and do not understand anything about national affairs, I have heard of the name of the Marquis of Champion."

"The news has spread throughout the entire city of Yingtian."

“Especially my son Yunwen, who has long admired the Marquis of Champion.”

"In particular, the Marquis of Champion is skilled in commanding troops and is hailed as the most valiant general in the Ming Dynasty. If the Marquis of Champion returns one day, I would like to have Yunwen learn a lot from him."

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was seated in the main seat, frowned slightly.

Zhu Biao's expression also changed slightly.

The Lü family!

We were still too hasty.

What he showed this time was his desire to win over Zhu Ying for his son.

While seemingly using his son's admiration to build a closer relationship, he was actually trying to win him over.

This was naturally a very minor matter in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

Shen Yu'er was somewhat taken aback by Lü's sudden words. Although she didn't understand much about officialdom, she did know that her husband's current title and honor were bestowed by the imperial power. Moreover, since the death of the former eldest grandson of the emperor, although Lü was in charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace, she was still a concubine, and her son was born out of wedlock.

On the contrary, Zhu Yunwen, the eldest son, had a higher status.

If her husband were to get caught up in this mess, it wouldn't be a good thing for the family.

Just as Shen Yu'er was wondering how to refuse.

"All right."

Zhu Biao spoke up, his face showing some displeasure, and said seriously, "The Marquis of Champion is a general who is skilled in commanding troops and fighting with weapons. His main goal is to kill the enemy and win. It would be a waste of his talents to have him teach the princes and grandsons of the emperor."

"If Yunwen wants to learn martial arts, someone in the palace will make arrangements."

This opening.

This immediately brought Lady Lü back to reality. When she saw Zhu Biao's somewhat unpleasant expression, Lady Lü immediately bowed and said, "It was I who overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, my husband."

"Biao'er."

"Today is a family dinner."

"Your many younger brothers and sisters will be here soon."

"There's no need for that," Zhu Yuanzhang said, raising his hand and smiling.

"Yes."

Zhu Biao nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Someone is coming."

"Give me a seat."

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

echoed.

Eunuchs and palace maids carried chairs into the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Please take your seats."

Zhu Biao waved his hand at Lady Lü.

"Your Majesty, I obey the decree," Lady Lü replied respectfully immediately.

Then he gave the three Zhu brothers a wink and immediately walked to the chair on the side, ready to sit down.

But Zhu Yunwen remained standing there, head down, staring blankly at Zhu Wenxi. Even though he had just been scolded, the emotions in his heart had not subsided, and the tears he had wiped away continued to fall.

Looking at the person in front of him who looked so much like his elder brother, even if he was just a young child, Zhu Yunwen felt as if he had seen his real elder brother and his family. The grievances and feelings he had felt suddenly found an outlet.

It seemed that she had sensed Zhu Yunwen's constant gaze.

With a hint of curiosity, Zhu Wenxi met Zhu Yuntong's complex, bitter, and even aggrieved gaze. For some reason, Zhu Wenxi also walked towards Zhu Yuntong as if possessed.

"uncle."

"What are you crying for?"

"Would you like something to eat? I'll get you something."

Zhu Wenxi raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuntong with great concern, asking her a question.

Looking at Zhu Wenxi in front of him.

A picture immediately popped into Zhu Yunwen's mind.

"Yunxun."

"What's wrong with you?"

"I asked you to exercise with me, but you didn't. I asked you to ride horses with me, but you didn't."

"With your skinny arms and legs, what will you do if your older brother isn't around anymore?"

The seven or eight-year-old boy looked at the four-year-old boy in front of him and said in a very mature tone.

The two little ones are both young, but the older one is obviously very mature and composed, seemingly much more mature than his peers.

"Big brother."

"What is exercise?"

The young Zhu Yunwen asked, puzzled.

"This...this means practicing martial arts."

"Only by making your body strong can you avoid being bullied."

"Come on, why do you care so much?" Zhu Xiong Ying said irritably, with a hint of annoyance from taking care of a child.

"With my elder brother here, no one will bully me," Zhu Yunwen said with a smile.

"piss off."

"If I really don't exist, you'll be bullied to death," Zhu Xiong Ying said with great concern.

"Brother, you mustn't talk nonsense."

"Big brother will always be here... Waaah... Waaah..." Zhu Yunwen looked up at his older brother with great displeasure, and then burst into tears.

Seeing her crying younger brother, Zhu Xiong Ying felt even more helpless.

"What kind of karma did I create to run into a brother like you?"

"Ugh."

"Here's some cake for you, shut up." Zhu Xiong Ying shook his head and sighed, finally taking out a piece of cake from his bosom to quiet Zhu Yun Tong down.

……

Memories flood back.

It seems to have materialized at this moment.

"Big...brother."

"I miss you so much."

"Yun-hong misses you so much."

Zhu Yunwen squatted down, tears streaming down his face, his gaze fixed on Zhu Wenxi's face.

The reprimand just now.

Clearly, Zhu Yunwen had forgotten.

At this moment, facing Zhu Wenxi, who looked so much like his elder brother, Zhu Yunwen completely regarded him as his elder brother, feeling wronged and unable to express his feelings.

More than ten years.

He lost his older brother more than a decade ago.

What his older brother said to him has come true; his older brother is really gone.

See this!
This was a truly heart-wrenching cry from Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao exchanged a glance, but surprisingly, neither of them tried to stop it.

"perhaps."

"Yun Tong must really miss his older brother."

“When Yun-teng was born, his daughter-in-law had a difficult childbirth because of him, which made Biao-er unhappy. If it weren’t for Xiong-ying taking care of him, Yun-teng might not have grown up to be this big.”

"That's all."

“Yun Tong’s actions also reflect his deepest feelings and true nature.”

"We can't be too harsh on him." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed inwardly, but said nothing.

Zhu Biao, who was standing to the side, also looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was crying so pitifully and revealing his true feelings. He sighed, shook his head, and did not say anything more.

after all.

Zhu Xiong Ying's importance in Zhu Yun Tong's heart is self-evident.

Elder brother is like father!

Although Zhu Xiong Ying was young in the past, he always practiced what he preached.

"That damned bastard really thinks Zhu Wenxi is Zhu Xiong Ying."

"a shame."

"Alright."

"Let him lose face in front of the Emperor and the Crown Prince."

"In this way, the emperor and the others will become more and more disappointed in this bastard."

Looking at Zhu Yunwen's behavior at this moment, Lady Lü's eyes were filled with disgust.

However, at this moment, inside the Wenyuan Pavilion, she naturally did not show it. In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, she always maintained the appearance of a good daughter-in-law, knowledgeable and reasonable, and in front of Zhu Biao, she was even more understanding.

Neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor his son Zhu Biao knew what Lady Lü's true nature was.

He watched as Lady Lü remained silent.

Zhu Yunwen, standing to the side, also kept quiet and watched silently.

"Zhu Yuntong".

"The Crown Prince's legitimate son, the younger brother of the former eldest grandson of the emperor."

"It seems that Xi'er really does look like that eldest grandson of the emperor, which is why he can make this young master Zhu Yunwen so heartbroken."

"Ugh."

Shen Yu'er couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion as she watched this scene.

If you are outside.

Shen Yu'er would try to comfort him, but since neither the emperor nor the crown prince had spoken in the main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, she naturally had no right to speak.

The closer she got to the center of power in the Ming Dynasty, the more cautious Shen Yu'er became. She did not become arrogant because her husband was now so glorious. On the contrary, she was cautious and did not want to affect her husband because of herself.

"Uncle." "Don't cry."

"Let me wipe it for you."

Seeing Zhu Yuntong crying like this, Zhu Wenxi seemed very concerned.

After rummaging through his pockets, he took out a small cloth and gently stroked it across Zhu Yunwen's face.

"Can I...can I hug you?"

Feeling Zhu Wenxi's kindness, something Zhu Yunwen hadn't experienced in the Eastern Palace for a long time, he asked tentatively, his eyes red.

"Let me hug you."

"To comfort you."

Zhu Wenxi smiled slightly, walked forward, and gently hugged Zhu Yunxi with her small hands.

this moment.

Zhu Yunwen seemed to truly feel the wonderful moments when his elder brother held him in the East Palace and they walked through the palace.

"Big brother."

"perhaps."

"Is the person in front of you truly your reincarnation?"

"so similar."

"Did you want to see if I'm doing well?"

"Big brother..."

Zhu Yuntong murmured softly.

After continuing for a while.

Zhu Yunwen came to his senses, wiped away his tears, and slowly released Zhu Wenxi.

He then stood up and knelt directly before Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao: "Grandfather, Father!"

"Yun Tong has been rude."

talking.

Zhu Yunwen kowtowed, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"All right."

"Yun Tong, you're just being yourself. It was rude, but we'll forgive you."

"Get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Yunwen slowly stood up, his head bowed.

"Yunxun."

It seems like it's been more than half a year since we last saw you, hasn't it?

"How are you doing at the Eastern Palace?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile, still showing great kindness in front of his grandsons.

Upon hearing this question...

Zhu Yunwen immediately glanced at Lady Lü out of the corner of his eye.

He had an urge to tell all about his experiences in the Eastern Palace over the years.

seem.

This was also because Zhu Wenxi was there, and it was as if he saw his elder brother, which gave him strength.

But Lady Lü was clever and immediately saw through Zhu Yunwen's expression. She glared at him, then pretended to cough and picked up a silk handkerchief.

After seeing this silk scarf.

Zhu Yunwen's expression changed, and worry appeared in his eyes.

Just for a moment.

Zhu Yunwen suppressed the impulse that was originally in his heart.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's gazes fell on Lady Lü for a moment, clearly indicating that Lady Lü's actions just now were somewhat deliberate.

"Grandfather."

"Yun Tong is doing very well in the Eastern Palace," Zhu Yun Tong could only manage a respectful reply.

"Just live well."

“You child, we know your personality. You tend to keep everything to yourself. Because of what happened in the past, you have no interest in many things, and you don’t even follow your teacher’s teachings.”

"You mustn't do that again."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a lecturing tone, and for the time being, he suppressed the strange behavior of Lady Lü.

"Your grandson is enlightened." Zhu Yunwen bowed respectfully, feeling nothing but grievance in his heart.

Everything in the Eastern Palace.

This is all what Lady Lü wanted them to see.

Because it is the Eastern Palace, where the current Crown Prince resides.

Therefore, the all-encompassing Embroidered Uniform Guard was not in the Eastern Palace, because Zhu Biao greatly disliked the Embroidered Uniform Guard's omnipresence.

Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally not use the Embroidered Uniform Guard to monitor his son, who was his successor. This is why Zhu Yuanzhang was unaware of the situation in the Eastern Palace.

And over the years.

Since the Crown Princess passed away, everything in the Eastern Palace has been under the control of Lady Lü, which shows how much she has taken control of it.

When are your two older sisters coming?

Why didn't I come with you?

Zhu Biao then spoke up and asked.

He also had quite a few concubines, some of whom were his children.

Before Zhu Yunwen could speak.

Lady Lü immediately replied respectfully, "My lord! My sisters are still preparing. I arrived before them, and they will be here shortly."

"kindness."

Zhu Biao nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Today was the royal family's New Year's Eve banquet.

Once before the Lunar New Year, and once during the Lunar New Year.

It can be considered a kind of family reunion.

"Yunxun."

"Take a seat."

Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yunwen with an indifferent expression.

"Yes."

Zhu Yunwen responded respectfully, and then walked towards Lady Lü's side.

This chair.

It is naturally based on rank.

As the legitimate son.

He naturally sat next to Lady Lü, even the three Zhu brothers had to sit one seat behind him.

After Zhu Yunwen took his seat.

Lu's cold gaze immediately fell on him.

"Bastard."

"He's certainly got a plan."

"Luckily, I was prepared and used that lowly maid to blackmail him, otherwise he might have really been spouting nonsense in this hall."

"Although the Emperor and the Crown Prince may not necessarily believe him, they might investigate him."

"Knew it."

“Father is right.”

"Before everything is completely under control, we cannot let our guard down against this bastard, or he will really harm us."

now.

Lady Lü harbored deep resentment and intense coldness towards Zhu Yunwen.

If they weren't in the palace at this moment, Lady Lü might have really given Zhu Yunwen a good scolding.

"Yu'er, sit beside me with Xi'er."

Seeing Shen Yu'er still standing in the main hall, seemingly unsure of where to sit, Zhu Biao immediately smiled and gestured for her to sit down next to him.

"His Royal Highness."

"I will stay at the back; I would never dare to overstep my bounds to stand beside Your Highness."

Upon seeing the position, Shen Yu'er immediately declined, adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile and not becoming arrogant because of the favor she received.

"The Crown Prince has spoken."

"sit down."

“You are the wife of the Marquis of Champion of our Great Ming Dynasty, and the mother of the adopted grandson of the Crown Prince. You are qualified,” Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

See this.

Shen Yu'er could only bow and express her gratitude: "Your Majesty, I thank you, Your Highness, and Your Highness the Crown Prince."

He could only walk over and slowly sit down.

"Xi'er, come to your grandfather."

Watching Shen Yu'er take her seat.

Zhu Biao then waved to Zhu Wenxi inside the hall with a very kind and gentle expression.

His delight was evident in his words.

Anyone can see that.

While watching this scene, Lady Lü maintained a gentle smile on the surface, but in reality, she was seething with hatred.

Zhu Yunwen also lowered his head, his eyes filled with hatred.
