After being dazed for some time, Zhu Biao was awakened by his father's impunity, and opened his eyes to see that his father had already arrived, and Empress Ma and Chang Luohua were welcoming him in front of the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang strode in and looked at his son who was still a bit confused and smiled, "You are so arrogant, I didn't see your father coming."

Empress Ma smiled and said: "I fell asleep while sitting, and I was snoring just now."

Zhu Biao stood up with a smile and saluted: "I was sleepy when I got home, and it's been so long since I closed my eyes."

After taking the main seat, Lao Zhu picked up Zhu Lu to tease him a few times, and then let Chuan Shan eat. The dishes were quite rich, but they had little to do with Zhu Biao, and mainly favored the pregnant Chang Luohua.

Zhu Biao squinted for a while, and now his expression became more excited. Seeing that his father was in a good mood, the two had a few drinks. Serving is something you have to manage yourself.

Empress Ma looked at Chang Luohua and at Zhu Lu, and occasionally looked at the father and son who were talking and laughing, with a satisfied expression, and looked at her daughter-in-law's stomach full of expectations. Next year, the Zhu family will have three generations under one roof.

At the dinner table of Zhu's family, there is no rule not to talk about official business. Zhu Biao described what he saw when he became Chen Yunze, and the corrupt and extravagant life of those officials.

If you compare, the dishes of their family are not as exquisite as theirs. Of course, the rare tonic and medicinal materials are naturally far surpassed. After all, they are tributes, and there is no better one in the world.

But if it wasn't for Chang Luohua's pregnancy, their family's food and drink expenses would have been the same. After all, Lao Zhu and Empress Ma have always set an example, frugal and don't be greedy.

After a simple and warm dinner, they sat down and drank a cup of tea together, Lao Zhu started to chase people away: "If you are full, go back and rest, don't delay tomorrow morning."

Zhu Biao made a promise, and then led Chang Luohua out of Kunning Palace, looked at Zhu Biao who had been waiting for a long time, and asked: "I'm tired, should I go back?"

Chang Luohua shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, let's walk more."

Zhu Biao smiled happily, and tightened the Luanfeng Liuyun cloak on her body, then took her hand and walked towards the inner garden, feeling at peace in his heart.

Liu Jin, Yun Jin and a large group of court ladies and eunuchs followed behind them silently. In the inner garden, there were plum, bamboo, pine and cypresses and flowers of various colors. , Fish Pavilion, Deer Pavilion, Crane Pavilion and other buildings.

The news of the prince entering the harem must have been known to all the concubines, no one must have come out for a stroll today, not to mention that it doesn't matter if they run into each other, Zhu Biao still has the princess by his side.

Walking and stopping, talking and laughing, Chang Luohua's face also had more and more smiles. The women in the inner courtyard of the deep palace are looking for such a simple thing, and they are satisfied if their husband can always accompany them.

Seeing that Chang Luohua was almost gone, Zhu Biao called him to sit on the frame and return to the East Palace. When he returned to the East Palace, Zhu Biao was naturally greeted by Nuanyu and other servants who knelt down happily.

"Slaves and servants welcome the crown prince back to the palace, Your Highness forever."

Zhu Biao got off the car and looked at a group of familiar figures with a smile: "During the time when I am not in the palace, you have made great contributions to serving the princess, and everyone who serves in the East Palace will be rewarded. Tomorrow, I will go to Liu Jin to receive five taels of silver and two horses. satin."

There are more than a hundred slaves who are qualified to welcome the prince, not to mention others. Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and thanked again and again. Zhu Biao happily entered his Chengqian Palace, and all the talents outside the palace returned to their duties.

Only Liu Jin and Yunjin Nuanyu and other personal servants followed in. Chang Luohua was invited by his mother-in-law to rest and massage in the side hall. Zhu Biao took the tea brought by Nuanyu and said with a smile: "You are fat again, the prince The imperial concubine's nourishing food has already entered your stomach."

Nuan Yu said aggrievedly: "The servant is not greedy, it's just such an expensive thing, it's a pity to throw it away."

Zhu Biao laughed and joked a few more times, and then said to them: "The Crown Princess praised you just now, saying that you have worked hard and never slacked off."

Liu Jin's eyes turned red and he said, "This is what slaves should do."

Zhu Biao waved his hand: "For meritorious deeds, one must be rewarded, and for faults, one must be punished. This is also the rule of my East Palace. The reason why I can work outside with such peace of mind is because you are behind me to take care of it. Therefore, there should be heavy rewards."

"Tomorrow there will be two big boatloads of things moving into the warehouse. Liu Jin, you go to count and enter the account, and then you each go to pick two pieces. Rare treasures, famous calligraphy and paintings are fine, as long as you like them."

"By the way, it's not easy for the imperial doctor's mother-in-law to leave. Liu Jin, you can melt some golden melon seeds and send them tomorrow. It's considered auspicious. Let them serve you wholeheartedly. When the emperor's heir is born safely, the Palace will reward you a lot."

Liu Jin made a promise, and she knew why Liu An and Zhao Huai'an didn't go back to the palace with His Highness. Both Yunjin Nuanyu and her son were also very happy. They all knew their master's character, and if they said they were rewarded, they would be rewarded. They shirk.

Each of them was talking about choosing a porcelain vase, the other wanted a picture of a lady, and chattering about what they had. Zhu Biao didn't seem to care much about these objects, not to mention that the joy of sending them out was far better than putting ashes in the warehouse.

After the inventory is finished, he will give away most of the rare items. Song Lian is about to pass his birthday, so he must not be able to go in person, so the gift must be generous, and Li Shanchang's side, too.

Sending gold and silver is too vulgar, only rare items can be regarded as a kind heart, both parties are decent, and naturally they will be happy. Zhu Biao will not interfere too much in the government affairs in the next two years, after all, he must properly delegate power to Hu Weiyong.

After all, if he really ends up supervising the country and governing the country, then Hu Weiyong will be like a puppet. It is as difficult to grasp the power as Wang Guangyang, and he can only be a prime minister who does not deserve his name.

This is of course not possible. Zhu Biao's prestige is growing day by day. Many problems are impossible to break out in the era when he and Lao Zhu were in power, but their father and son will die one day. Huge power.

These people were killed by Lao Zhu, and Zhu Biao, the founding prince, was also able to kill them, but the king who was born in a peaceful and prosperous age later had to accept their love. Their ancestors followed Taizu to fight the country, followed Taizong to secure the world, and now the prosperous age is prosperous Is the emperor going to kill the donkey and kill such meritorious deeds?

At that time, it was not only difficult to kill in terms of reputation, but also difficult in terms of strength. If the hereditary nobles united, they would have the ability to shake the country. Loyalty has always been untrustworthy, and human nature cannot be tested. .

There are too many nobles who have been entrusted with the founding of the country, and the princes, big and small, are suppressing the state capitals. This is not because they have done anything wrong now, but to avoid a situation where the tail can't be lost in the future.
