Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 111: Participating in the Crown Prince Consort Ceremony

These days, Zhu Zhanhe has been having a blast in the military camp!

In the past few days, Zhu Zhanhe not only led the soldiers of the heavy cavalry battalion to run around the barracks and hone their coordination, but also had the small flags and the general flag practice the arrow formation with each other to compete with each other!
The most important thing is that Zhu Zhanhe would compete with the soldiers of the heavy cavalry battalion every day, from one-on-one in the beginning to one-on-seven, eighty, or ninety in the present! And every time he beat them to the ground!

Even the masters from the Light Cavalry Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion, and the Divine Machine Battalion came to join in the fun. But they were all beaten to the ground and left in disgrace!

The entire three camps knew that the Prince of Han was a supreme master! He was a peerless general who could only lead the army into a charge!

At this point, rumors began to spread throughout the three camps that the Prince of Han was the best fighter among the three armies! This made the guys in the heavy cavalry battalion even more proud and trained even harder.

On this day, Zhu Zhanhe was about to lead his men to start a new day's charge when he was stopped by someone.

"Sir Qianzong! The commander-in-chief summoned you!" The person who came was still the personal soldier of Prince Han. He looked at the tall and majestic young man in front of him with admiration and said loudly.

"Hmm? Okay! I'll go now!
Qian Zhongcai, lead the brothers to practice well! " Zhu Zhanhe responded to the messenger's words and turned to the chubby deputy captain behind him.

"I obey your orders!" Qian Zhongcai obeyed Zhu Zhanhe's words without any compromise.

Zhu Zhanhe rode his horse to the tent of Prince Han, dismounted, and went straight into the tent.

"Dad, what's the matter? Why are you wearing court robes?" Zhu Zhanhe was very confused when he saw Prince Han dressed in court robes as soon as he entered the room.

"How dare you say that? I told you a few days ago that the Crown Prince's Zhanji was going to choose a Crown Princess and a Crown Princess!

I told you to be careful, but you didn't even go home these days!

He just stayed in the barracks, hanging out with the soldiers! And he even earned the title of the best fighter in the army!
Do you know that your mother is nagging me to death? "Prince Han did not expect that his precious son could actually endure the loneliness in the military camp and train in the military camp for so many days!

What's more, he didn't bring anything home! This made Princess Han nag him for a long time, and he was very annoyed!

"I asked Xiao Xizi to bring your clothes here. You should wear court clothes too! We are going to attend the ceremony to confer the title of Crown Princess and Crown Princess!
Today is the day! " Prince Han looked at his absent-minded son and reminded him unhappily that today was the day when the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji would confer titles on his principal and concubines!

"So fast? Okay then." Zhu Zhanhe was a little surprised that the time had passed so quickly, but he didn't care and just prepared to change his clothes and go.

"Young Master, Xiao Xizi has prepared a bathtub for you, please wash up." Xiao Xizi on the side was very perceptive and had prepared the bathtub and clothes in advance.

After washing up, Zhu Zhanhe rode a tall horse and followed the Prince of Han to the place where Zhu Zhanhe would select concubines.

It was also in the palace, but it was a secluded place. But it was still crowded.

Zhu Zhanhe followed the Prince of Han and came to the side of the platform and stood respectfully.

In the center of the platform was Emperor Yongle sitting on the dragon throne.

Standing next to Emperor Yongle was Zhu Zhanji, who was wearing a crown and a blue auspicious robe.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess sat on the right side of the lower hand, also dressed in gorgeous court robes.

On the left side are a jade ruyi and a sachet.

At the bottom of the stairs, palace maids and eunuchs stood in rows.

"Please show your daughter!"

Suddenly, Zhu Zhanhe heard the voice of a female official. He looked up and saw four young palace maids, two by two, each carrying a screen. Behind the screen must be Hu Shanxiang and Sun Ruowei! Zhu Zhanhe curled his face and complained silently in his heart.

Soon, the screen was removed, and it was time for Zhu Zhanji to give the two beautiful girls the jade ruyi and sachets.

In fact, this means choosing a wife and a concubine from two people!
Zhu Zhanhe watched his adopted elder brother solemnly walk down the stairs holding the jade ruyi and walk towards the two beautiful girls. Suddenly, he felt something strange in his heart!

At this moment, there was a small incident. Princess Zhang suddenly called out to Zhu Zhanji who was walking down the stairs.

"Grandson!" Everyone looked at Crown Princess Zhang who suddenly spoke in confusion, not sure what she wanted to do at this time. Even Zhu Zhanji stopped and looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.

"She hasn't been canonized yet!" Emperor Yongle spoke calmly in response to the Crown Princess Zhang's sudden words, which interrupted the ongoing concubine selection ceremony.

These words undoubtedly made many people feel a pang of regret in their hearts.

This was the ceremony for enthroning the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubines. After the Crown Princess called out the title of Crown Prince, if Emperor Yongle did not speak, it meant that he tacitly agreed to this matter!

But Emperor Yongle's sudden denial undoubtedly cast a big question mark on the matter of enthroning the crown prince!

In contrast, although the Crown Princess still had a smile on her face, her expression had visibly turned colder. Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi also frowned!
Only Zhu Zhanji, who was filled with joy, did not realize the importance of this matter. He still dangled the jade ruyi in front of Sun Ruowei and refused to move. Finally, he handed the jade ruyi in his hand to Hu Shanxiang through the air.

Then, Zhu Zhanji held the sachet tightly in Sun Ruowei's hand!

At this point, everyone can see that Zhu Zhanji likes his concubine Sun Ruowei instead of his principal wife Hu Shanxiang!
The Prince's Mansion is afraid of the unrest in the harem!
Everyone present frowned. Only Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han was filled with joy. He couldn't hide his smile, and his mouth was almost split to his ears!
Even Emperor Yongle's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face showed that he was unhappy!
Seeing this, the Crown Princess's delicate little mouth came into play, and she began to speak auspicious words.

In contrast, Emperor Yongle only listened for a while, then waved his hand and left without a care in the world! Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi also followed him away happily, but the look in his eyes as he watched his son fail to live up to his expectations was heartbreaking.

"Son, let's go find your grandfather." When Prince Han saw that Emperor Yongle was in a bad mood, he prepared to say something to make himself happy.

There was no other way, so Zhu Zhanhe had to follow behind dejectedly and came to the Yongle Emperor’s study.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Zhu Zhanhe and his father, Prince Han, saluted Emperor Yongle respectfully.

"He'er is here too!" Emperor Yongle was still very kind to Zhu Zhanhe, with a smile on his face.

"Tell me, what's the matter!" Emperor Yongle was still unhappy when he saw his second son at this moment, so he looked at his son unhappily. He was very worried that his good son had done something bad again!
"Father, I have something to ask you!" Prince Han looked at Emperor Yongle with a smile on his face and said respectfully.

"Go ahead," Emperor Yongle asked unhappily while lying on the small couch.

"Dad, it's like this. He'er is not a child anymore. The princess and I have been selecting concubines for a long time, but we haven't come up with a good one. I want to ask you for a favor!" Prince Han told Emperor Yongle bluntly that my son doesn't have a wife yet, but he also wants to get married!

"He'er, who do you like?" Emperor Yongle nodded silently after hearing what Prince Han said. However, he still turned to look at his grandson beside him, wanting to hear his opinion.

“To answer Grandpa, I don’t have any crush on anyone.

I'm not picky! From ancient times to the present day, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers.

As long as you are good to your parents and can help manage the palace, that's enough!
I see that my mother is a peasant girl, but she manages the palace very well. I don’t mind a peasant girl!” Zhu Zhanhe said with an indifferent attitude. He was not picky about his future daughter-in-law.

Zhu Zhanhe's words made Emperor Yongle's heart tremble, and his face suddenly became dazed. However, his heart was filled with surprise and secret joy!
