King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

here.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Crown Prince with interest, but did not answer or say anything more.

Just like that, the two looked at each other, as if everything was self-explanatory.

After that, they all left in tacit understanding.

The residence of the Prince in the East Palace.

As soon as the prince returned to the mansion, everyone saw that he looked a little disheveled and smelled of sweat.

Although both the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji had many doubts in their hearts, they were tactful and said nothing. They asked their subordinates to prepare hot water for washing as quickly as possible, and let the Crown Prince take a comfortable hot bath as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the Crown Princess was also very considerate and prepared ginger soup for him.

After the prince washed up, he was served the drink as quickly as possible and he drank it obediently.

The slightly fishy and spicy ginger soup went down his throat, causing beads of sweat to appear on the forehead of the prince, who had finally dried up. At the same time, the prince, who had been resisting at first, felt unusually comfortable and relaxed after drinking the ginger soup.

After finishing and cleaning up all this.

The Crown Princess who was following beside her had a look of confusion and uncertainty on her face, and asked:

"Da Ming Money House opens today."

"How hot is the business here?"

"Is it possible that a prince like you couldn't help but come down and help in person?"

"Look at you, look at you"

"It's completely gone, not even a bit like it used to be."

Hearing the slightly distressed and teasing words, the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his face, and shook his head slightly at the Crown Princess who looked concerned, and said:
"Da Ming Money House opens for business."

"The business here is indeed very hot, and there are indeed a lot of people coming here."

"But I didn't go down to help, nor did I put in any effort in this matter. I just performed the duties of an overseer, took a few more glances and paid more attention."

"Before noon, we left Daming Bank."

"This mess here is not caused by the opening of Daming Money House and our help."

This is said.

This nonsensical sentence made the Crown Princess and Zhu Zhanji, mother and son, stunned on the spot. They looked at the Crown Prince who gave a definite answer with some disbelief, and subconsciously asked:

"Isn't it because of the Ming Bank?"

"If it's not because of this, why are you in such a mess?"

"He was sweating all over, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. He looked as miserable as he could be."

"Weren't you most concerned about your image in the past?"

"Let's talk again."

"With your status, how could you be so capable?"

"Is there anyone who dares to force you, or makes you look like this?"

It is not surprising that the Crown Princess and Zhu Zhanji were so curious about this matter. It was mainly due to the stereotype that the Crown Prince had left on everyone over the years.

Given the prince's personality over the years, he has always been cautious and prudent, and he is almost extremely concerned about his own image.

In all these years, except for the Jingnan Campaign, there has never been such a miserable appearance when soldiers were armed with swords and killed the enemy. But after the Jingnan Campaign, such a thing has never happened again.

For this reason, how could the two of them not be curious about what was happening right now.

The prince took in the expressions of the two people and knew what they were thinking. He smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Who else could make us do something so unreliable?"

"Of course it's only the second one, that guy."

Here is the reply.

The Crown Princess and Zhu Zhanji could not help but look at each other. They were slightly surprised at the result, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was extremely reasonable. On this issue, it was very much in line with the style of Han King Zhu Gaoxu.

After a brief pause, the Crown Princess asked with a little curiosity:

"Oh?"

"Second child?"

"No, what on earth are you two doing?"

"Can it be made into this look?"

"Could it be that the second brother tricked you into making fun of you?"

The prince smiled, waved his hand and replied:
"You're kidding me?"

"Don't look at me in such a sorry state. Do you think the second brother can be any better than me?"

"He is covered in the stench of sweat. He sweats just as much as I do. This matter is not as complicated as you think."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi no longer pretended to hide the matter and told everyone what had happened between the two of them and what they had done after they left Daming Money House today.

Especially at the end, when he was reminded by Zhu Gaoxu about the problem, he spoke frankly and told the two people in front of him in detail.

Get an exact answer and know the details of what happened in this matter.

This directly confused the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji. They stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer this question for a moment.

The two of them were filled with surprise, disbelief, and something they really couldn't have imagined that the answer to such a result would be so confusing, or in other words, so bizarre.

At the same time, it also made both of them feel uncontrollably happy.

After a brief moment of daze, the Crown Princess was the first to become unable to sit still. With a hint of surprise and doubt, she tentatively said:
"Prince"

"Are you sure you didn't remember the time wrong? Are you sure you didn't say the time wrong?"

"This afternoon, you and the second brother really walked around the capital of the Ming Dynasty, strolling and chatting here, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery. You walked for more than an hour and hardly took a break."

It’s no wonder that the Crown Princess behaved like this in this matter.

Such an answer and such a result were really shocking and unimaginable to her.

It is undeniable that although she has been following the plan set by Zhu Gaoxu in recent times and has been strictly ordering the prince to take time to complete it no matter when.

At the same time, one can clearly feel that the prince's health and image have changed for the better in recent times.

But she really never dreamed that the prince's health would become so good and could have such a great improvement. Let alone other things, he walked for more than an hour today, stopping and starting many times.

Even a normal person's body may not be able to persist in doing this, and even if they do, they will be exhausted beyond recognition.

Of course, the prince here looked a little embarrassed after he walked down, which was indeed a bit unsightly and even a bit criticized, but fortunately, he did walk down.

There is not a trace of moisture in it. What does this mean?
What does this mean?
Only she, who knows the prince's physical condition best and has been worried about him in the past, can clearly feel all the difficulties involved.

Faced with the question, the prince was too lazy to explain. He waved to Zhang De who was standing not far away and said:

"here."

"True or false, you have followed it all the way."

"Let Yur tell it!"

"Are we kidding about this?"

Zhang De, who was suddenly called, could not help but pause for a moment, turned his head and looked back with a little embarrassment. Facing the gazes of several people in the room, he came to his senses, bowed respectfully, and replied:
"Reply to the Crown Princess."

"Today, the Crown Prince and Prince Han indeed strolled around Yingtian City for more than an hour and a half."

"The time here is something I checked before I went shopping."

Hearing such decisive words, the Crown Princess was instantly extremely excited. She waved her arms heavily a few times and couldn't help laughing out loud:

"good good good good."

"That's great!"

As she spoke, the Crown Princess excitedly stood up from her chair, walked quickly to the Crown Prince, reached out and pulled up Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting upright on the chair and looking contented.

Under the Crown Prince's confused and nonplussed gaze, he circled around him several times, waving his arms excitedly, pinching here, patting there, and muttering excitedly, words like "good".

This can be seen.

Whether from her expression or face, one can clearly feel the joy emanating from the Crown Princess.

Sun Taizhu Zhanji, who was standing aside, did not say a word, but from his look and facial expression, one could clearly feel that he was not indifferent or unconcerned.

It's just that here, I feel a little reserved, or even a little embarrassed.

Because as a son, how could Zhu Zhanji not care about the prince's health?
Not to mention the father-son relationship between them, just talking about how if the prince were alive, it would help him with something that he was obsessed with, and he knew it better than anyone else.

That's it.

The Crown Prince, who had been treated like a monkey and watched by others for a long time, could no longer bear it. He stretched out his hand and slapped away the Crown Princess's hand that was slapping and hitting him from time to time. He also unconsciously stepped back several steps to keep a sufficient distance from her. He could not help but repeatedly stop her and said:

"Hey, hey, hey."

"My dear, my dear, that's enough. That's enough."

"My son is still here, and there are so many servants here!"

"You are so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. You are so overstepping your bounds. You really don't care about your image at all. You are not afraid of making a fool of yourself. You really don't feel embarrassed at all!"

"You're so kind, can we at least pay a little more attention and consider our feelings a little?"

"If this matter gets out and is heard by outsiders, I'm afraid we will all be laughed at!"

"Almost there."

After hearing this, and noticing the looks from all around, the Crown Princess came back to her senses from her excitement. She also realized that her behavior was inappropriate, so she knew better than to continue. She couldn't help but smile apologetically and awkwardly, and said:

"hey hey"

"It's not like there's an outsider. There's no outsider here."

"Okay, okay"

"understood."

"Isn't it just that you are excited?"

"No, it's okay if I don't do it!"

In comparison, there was laughter and joy in the prince's mansion.

At this moment, the Prince of Han's mansion was obviously a little deserted.

After returning to the mansion, Zhu Gaoxu, with the help of the servants, quickly washed and changed into clean and comfortable clothes. However, when he looked at the relatively deserted mansion around him, he felt a little lost in his heart.

Thoughts in my mind were boiling and surging. I couldn't help but think of the Princess of Han and others who had left for their fiefdoms for more than a year. I missed them to some extent and couldn't help wanting to see them.

As he was thinking, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Lao He who was following him and asked:

"Lao He"

"Has there been any news from the princess and her friends in the fiefdom recently?"

"What is the situation in this fiefdom?"

This is said.

Old He was such a smart and intelligent person that he could hear, or could clearly feel, the emotions in his master's heart. So he simply sorted out his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Reporting to the prince."

"You also know that there is no news coming back from the fiefdom for the time being."

"Under normal circumstances, if there are no special circumstances in the fiefdom, the princess will usually send news back to the capital twice a month."

"It will take about seven or eight days for the next news to be sent back."

"If the prince wants to know, if he wants to know, I can send someone to ask."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu paused slightly, and then reacted instantly. He realized that he seemed to be a little too sensitive about this matter, or that his originally calm mood had become a little chaotic and fluctuating.

After a brief moment of silence, Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his restless thoughts, and suddenly calmed down. He smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Forget it"

"Not yet, not yet."

"It will only take seven or eight days at most. There is no need to be too anxious."

Lao He was slightly stunned, his expression somewhat urgent, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu took it all in. He glanced at him and said:
"what happened?"

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't leave it here and try to be hesitant. We are so close to each other!"

"is it necessary?"

Hearing this, Lao He scratched his head awkwardly and said carefully:
"My lord."

"The princess has been in the fiefdom for more than a year."

"There is less than half a year left before the New Year."

"Look."

"Do you want to let the princess return to Beijing so that you and your family can celebrate the New Year together?" (End of this chapter)
