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

Chapter 5 Zhu Zhanhe was attacked at home
In ancient times, children were a woman's support, especially in a large family like the royal family. Children were the only guarantee for a woman. In addition, Prince Han was obsessed with becoming the crown prince, and his brothers were constantly fighting with each other. This made Princess Wei feel very insecure. Only her own children were the most caring. Although Prince Han had several children, and they all called her mother, how could they compare to the flesh and blood that fell from her body?

"Princess, Aunt Xiu'er, the prince is here," the maid serving at the door suddenly came in to report.

Then Princess Wei suddenly stood up, and Xiu'er hurriedly held the princess' hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and burly figure appeared at the doorway, completely blocking out the sunlight. He was wearing heavy armor and a large helmet. After entering, he immediately raised his hand to remove the helmet from his head and knelt on the ground like a golden mountain falling jade pillar. His uncle was very discreet and did not come in, but went to do other things.

"Your son Zhanhe pays his respects to your mother." After Zhu Zhanhe entered the room, he saw his mother standing there looking at him nervously. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Then he saw that his mother did not move and was still staring at him blankly.

"Mom, I'm back, Aunt Xiu'er, I'm back." Zhu Zhanhe looked up, put his helmet aside, said one more word to his fluttering mother, then looked at Aunt Xiu'er on the other side who also had red eyes.

"Princess, the prince is back." At this time, Xiu'er came back to her senses first and called softly to the princess who was a little dazed.

"Oh, oh, my son is back. Get up quickly, get up quickly. The ground is cold. Come here quickly and let me take a good look at him." Perhaps it was because she heard Aunt Xiu'er's words, or perhaps it was because she came to her senses. Princess Wei hurriedly trotted a few steps with a nervous look on her face and pulled her son up. Then Zhu Zhanhe also got up. Otherwise, with his physique, his mother would not be able to pull him up.

"Let mother take a good look. Let mother take a good look." Princess Wei took Zhu Zhanhe's hand and pulled him to her side. She stared at Zhu Zhanhe carefully, staring at her precious son who was one year younger than her and was wearing iron armor like an iron tower.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." After looking for a while and finding that there was no problem, Princess Wei was very excited and her speech was a little incoherent.

"Princess, let the prince change his clothes first." At this time, it was still Aunt Xiu'er who came to her senses first. Looking at Zhu Zhanhe in armor, she reminded Wei to let Zhu Zhanhe change his clothes first.

"Yes, yes, you were so busy looking at my son that he hasn't changed his clothes since he came in. Come quickly, help my son wash up and change his clothes." At this time, Princess Wei finally came to her senses and showed her princess style, asking someone to help her son change his clothes.

"Mother, please wait a moment. I'll change my clothes and come back soon." Under the reluctant gaze of Princess Wei, Zhu Zhanhe left the hall, and the living room suddenly became a little deserted.

However, it soon became lively because servants kept coming in and out and started to prepare food.

Seeing this, Princess Wei winked at Xiu'er beside her, and then, Zhu Zhanhe's aunt Xiu'er secretly went to the place where he washed and changed clothes.

On the other side, our comrade Zhu Zhanhe was taking a bath with the help of two personal maids. After all, he had just returned and needed to wash thoroughly to get rid of bad luck.

The two little maids were arranged by his mother. They have been by his side since they were young. He gave them names. The tall one is called Jian'er, seventeen years old; the plump one is called Yun'er, sixteen years old. At the same time, they are both the maids who warm his bed, but he has not made any move on them yet.

At this moment, he was lying comfortably in the bathtub with his eyes closed. Two little girls, wearing only swaddles, were washing his body carefully with flushed faces.

He heard the door creak, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was at home and was not afraid of anything. He thought it was probably the servant adding water.

Sure enough, after a while, some hot water was added to the tub. "My Lord, can you turn around?" Yun said shyly.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanhe turned around silently, and suddenly found that there seemed to be someone in front of him. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked, only to see his aunt Xiu'er looking at him intently.

"Aunt Xiu, why are you here?" Zhu Zhanhe squatted in the bathtub shyly. The two little girls also lowered their heads shyly, pretending to be quails and not daring to speak.

"What are you afraid of? I've brought you up since you were a child. You've seen everything. It's been almost a year since you went out to fight in the war. The princess and I are worried about you, so we came to see if you were injured. If you were injured, the princess and I would go and fight the prince to the death. Come on, stand up and let me take a good look at you." Aunt Xiu'er was not polite either. She took action directly and pulled up the squatting Zhu Zhanhe. Zhu Zhanhe had no choice but to die. He stood up obediently and let his aunt Xiu'er take a good look at him.

"I'm relieved to know you're not injured. The princess has prepared some delicious food for you and is waiting for you. Come over here as soon as you're done washing up." After a careful inspection, Xiu'er was relieved to find no injuries. The tension on her face immediately dissipated. Finally, she reminded him to eat before leaving.

After his social death, Zhu Zhanhe continued to lie in the bathtub with a look of despair on his face, and unhappiness was written all over his face. Then, he pulled his two personal maids over one by one and slapped them twice on the buttocks.

"Aunt Xiu'er is here, and you didn't remind me. Remember to remind me next time, okay?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the two girls with aggrieved and shy faces, covering their buttocks and looking at him, his eyes red, so he spoke.

"Young Master, it was Aunt Xiu'er who said that she must check it herself. There's nothing we can do." Jian'er is a bit introverted. She shyly covers her hips with her white arms, looking at her own Young Master with an innocent face.

"Young Master, I am the most obedient. I will definitely remind you next time." Yun'er was relatively extroverted. After hearing what he said, she didn't care about her buttocks that were slapped. With a smile on her face, she quickly came behind him and continued to wash him with her white and tender hands. Seeing Jian'er who was still a little dazed at the side, she pulled him with her hands, splashing water in the bathtub. Jian'er came back to his senses, and then the two young women continued to serve him to wash.

A moment later, Zhu Zhanhe, who had finished cleaning, had changed into a dragon robe and walked out of the bathroom. Two little girls with red faces followed behind him and came to Princess Wei in a proud manner.

Just as he was about to enter the door, he was stopped by a servant, who brought him a brazier and asked him to step over it. He rolled his eyes helplessly, and when he saw his mother and Aunt Xiu looking at him nervously, he strode over the brazier.

"Exorcise away evil and keep away misfortune, and live a long and healthy life." Seeing his own prince step over the brazier, the servant shouted with great insight.

"Well said. Go down and get your reward." Princess Wei in the room heard the voice of the servant outside and seemed very happy. She smiled and happily asked the servant to go and get the red envelope. The servant outside the door hurriedly thanked him loudly and happily and then ran away happily.

"My son, come here quickly. I want to tell you that you came back today. What a coincidence! A cow fell and died on the farm yesterday. I bought it for you and have cooked it. Come and try it to see if it suits your taste." Mrs. Wei said to her son with a happy face.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe knew very well that there would be no cows that died from falling. When he was a child, he once said that he wanted to eat beef. A few days later, his mother got him a cow, saying that the cow had died of old age. After that, whenever the cows at home were eaten, a cow would fall and die, or die of old age, and be brought back for him to eat. He could make soup or stew it, and it was all up to him. Moreover, after he finished eating one cow, another cow would die in an accident and be bought back by his mother.

Basically, he kills one cow every year, which means that from childhood to adulthood, he has basically killed more than ten cows!
The point is, he is the only one in their family who has food to eat. They even built a big ice cellar to store beef for him. If his father, Prince Han, wants to eat it, he has to look at his mother, Wei's mood.

　Eating beef is just to show how arrogant our Han prince is.
