My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 717

Zhu Zhanhe had just returned to the East Palace. He didn't even have time to drink tea when he saw Queen Wei and others coming in.

So Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

Queen Wei ignored him, but looked up at Helen behind Zhu Zhanhe, and then said in a cold voice: "After going out for a trip, you actually brought back a big living person. It seems that you have gained a lot!"

"This……"

Zhu Zhanhe also didn't expect that when he brought Helen back, he would first make his mother dissatisfied. This made him not sure how to explain it for a while.

Behind her, Helen heard that the other party was coming for her, and she stubbornly wanted to defend herself, but feeling the strong aura of Queen Wei, she finally bowed her head in aggrievedness and did not dare to speak out.

"Mom, calm down, Helen's status is special, please Rong Erchen explain it to you later!"

Zhu Zhanhe reacted quickly and saluted again.

"Why wait until later? Explain it now, I'm listening!"

Empress Wei said again reluctantly that she had always been proud of Zhu Zhanhe's son. Whenever others praised Zhu Zhanhe, they would say that she was good at raising children, but this son who made her proud suddenly did something. Something was wrong, which made Queen Wei feel that it was her responsibility, so she was so angry.

Fortunately, at this moment, Chang Sining also rushed over. Seeing the situation in the palace, he immediately stepped forward and took Empress Wei's arm and said: "Mother, my husband has been working outside for so long and finally came back. I have asked you to come back." I have prepared some of his favorite drinks and dishes for him, so why not let him take a bath and change clothes and have a good rest after eating, otherwise he will be exhausted and will not be well."

Queen Wei still felt sorry for her son, not to mention that her daughter-in-law also tried to persuade her in person, so her expression softened, and then she said to Zhu Zhanhe: "See, Sining still feels sorry for you. Forget it today, you will enter the palace tomorrow." Give me an explanation, and give Sining an explanation too, otherwise I’ll ask you to teach me a lesson!”

Queen Wei has always been unforgiving. Even if she felt sorry for her son, she would threaten him at the end. It seemed that not doing so was not enough to show her majesty as a mother.

Zhu Zhanhe was used to it, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake and responded with a few words, and then the other party left the hall accompanied by Chang Sining.

But when leaving, Chang Sining glanced in Helen's direction intentionally or unintentionally, and then showed a meaningful smile to Zhu Zhanhe. I don't know what she was thinking?

"Your mother seems to dislike me very much?"

When Helen saw Queen Wei leaving, she finally couldn't help but speak.

"It's not that she seems to like you, but she really doesn't like you, but don't worry, my mother is not targeting you, but targeting everyone with lustful eyes!"

Zhu Zhanhe corrected with a smile.

"What is a Semuren?"

It was obviously the first time Helen heard this term.

"The so-called Semu people, simply put, refer to the color of eyes and hair. People who are quite different from us Han people, such as your brown hair and blue eyes, are very standard Semu people!"

Zhu Zhanhe's explanation is actually not accurate, but the scope of Semu people has been changing. During the Ming Dynasty, Semu people could actually refer to all people outside the Ming Dynasty.

"Why don't you like Semu people?"

Helen asked again in confusion.

"This question is a long story, mainly related to the Mongols back then..."

Zhu Zhanhe briefly told the history of the Mongols ruling the Central Plains and using the Semu people to oppress the Han people. "So after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we carried out a cleanup of the semu people. Both the official and the private sector were very hostile and repulsive towards the semu people. This trend will not change for a while."

Zhu Zhanhe finally concluded.

"This is wrong. The Semu people are just accomplices of the Mongols. Shouldn't the Mongols be the ones you hate the most?"

Helen asked even more puzzledly.

"Of course we hate the Mongols even more, so after my great-grandfather established the Ming Dynasty, he made many northern expeditions to the grasslands, sweeping away the remaining Mongolian forces. After my grandfather ascended the throne, he still launched many northern expeditions to the grasslands. Until now, the Mongols on the grasslands have Whenever people hear my grandfather's name, even children are too scared to cry!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and said again.

"You guys really hold a grudge!"

Helen complained.

Although Zhu Zhanhe only said a few words, she could hear the bloody smell behind these words. At that time, the whole of Europe was trembling under the iron hoof of the Mongols. There are still many Mongolians active in various places, but only In the Ming Dynasty alone, the Mongolians' home bases were raided countless times by the Han.

"We not only hold grudges, but we also have the determination and strength to take revenge. The Huns and Turks in your European history were once enemies of our ancestors, but in the end they were killed by our ancestors and were driven far away from their hometown. They wandered around and finally Flee to your side."

When Zhu Zhanhe talked about these histories, he also showed a bit of pride.

"The Ottomans are Turks. It turns out they were driven to Europe by you!"

Helen stamped her foot angrily upon hearing this.

"There is no other way. This world is dominated by the weak and the strong. If you want to avoid being invaded by outsiders, you must become stronger, otherwise you will have to be swallowed up by others!"

Zhu Zhanhe spread his hands and said matter-of-factly.

The Chinese nation has also experienced several ups and downs, and was even invaded by foreign nations. But in the end, the Chinese nation will find a way out and make a comeback. This is why China in later generations can become the ancient civilization with the longest history. As for other ancient civilizations, they have already been destroyed again and again. The inheritance was cut off during the war.

Helen instinctively rejected Zhu Zhanhe's theory of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. She wanted to refute it, but could not find any evidence to refute it. Even her reason told her that this cruel statement was actually very correct. At least she couldn't find any rebuttal.

"We are obviously talking about your mother not liking me, why did we bring it to such a far-reaching topic?"

In the end, Helen had to forcefully bring the topic back. She didn't want to discuss such a heavy topic with Zhu Zhanhe anymore.

"That's true, but you don't have to worry too much. My mother just can't think about it for a while. After a while, she will slowly accept it."

Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand and said, "A child is better than a mother, and vice versa. He knows Queen Wei's temper very well. As long as he says something nice afterwards, she can easily change her mind."

"Is the woman who persuaded your mother to leave just now...is your wife?"

Helen suddenly looked at Zhu Zhanhe with wide eyes and asked.

"That's right, Sining is my wife. You will call her the Crown Princess from now on. She is a generous person and will definitely not embarrass you. In addition, I have a concubine who is relatively small-minded. See you later. Be careful when you reach her.”

Zhu Zhanhe finally reminded kindly.
