Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

The warm sun shines on the garden of the Prince Jin's Mansion in Yingtian, where flowers bloom and the air is filled with fragrance.

Xu Miaoyun was wearing a light pink brocade robe with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

She nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes showing thought, and she said with her red lips slightly parted: "In this case, my sixth brother's mother must have an influence that cannot be ignored in the struggle for the leadership of the harem.

I just wonder which side she will lean towards this time?"

The voice was soft and gentle, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the garden.

Zhu Gang was wearing a moon-white robe with an ink-black jade belt around his waist, looking extraordinary and heroic.

He shook his head lightly, his expression solemn, and slowly said: "I don't know yet.

However, the situation in the harem is complicated, with various forces intertwined and one move can affect the entire body.

We need to wait and see, and must not act rashly."

After saying this, Zhu Gang secretly admired his father's ingenious layout. At the same time, he was also thinking about his position and development in the royal family. How could he be compared with others?
Zhu Gang gazed into the distance, and what he thought in his mind was just like an eagle spreading its wings to fly, eager to soar higher and farther in the vast sky.

However, it is really difficult to strike the right balance.

We must not hurt the brotherhood, but we must protect our own interests.

It's like walking on a knife edge, you need to be extremely careful.

On the other hand, Xu Miaoyun was curious about Concubine Da Ding.

She blinked, and her eyes were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, shining with lively light.

Xu Miaoyun gently tugged at Zhu Gang's sleeve, like a willow branch swaying in the spring wind.

She asked quietly, "My husband, what is the background of Concubine Da Ding, who was canonized in the third year of Hongwu like Concubine Hu Chong?"

Xu Miaoyun was a simple-minded person who could not keep things to herself. Whenever she encountered something curious, she would want to know the truth.

That curiosity is like the weeds growing vigorously in spring, which cannot be suppressed.

But she knew that some things were sensitive, so she could only lower her voice and ask quietly.

It's like a thief, afraid of being heard by others.

In fact, Xu Miaoyun also wanted to better help Zhu Gang deal with various complex situations by understanding the situation of these concubines in the harem.

Although she knew that as a woman, her role in such a major event was limited, she still wanted to do her best.

That feeling is like a trickle of water, not surging but continuous.

Zhu Gang hurriedly moved close to Xu Miaoyun's ear, and his warm breath gently brushed past her ear.

Then he looked around vigilantly, his eyes like a watchful hound, scanning the surrounding movements.

After making sure that no one was around, Zhu Gang whispered, "Concubine Da Ding was originally a concubine of Chen Youliang. She entered our father's palace after the fall of Wuchang.

This life experience is special, and my father has also reviewed this matter in the "Great Edict".

At this moment, please don't mention it casually, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Zhu Gang thought to himself that the matter of Concubine Da Ding involved old people from the previous dynasty.

At this sensitive time, we must not let this word get out, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.

The consequences would be like opening Pandora's box, and the situation would be out of control.

I have to keep a close eye on this, just like a loyal guard, protecting the peace of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Of course, he also had complicated feelings towards Concubine Da Ding. On the one hand, he felt that she was a relic of the previous dynasty and would somewhat affect the reputation of the royal family.

It feels like there is a little ink stain on the white canvas, which is dazzling no matter how you look at it.

On the other hand, Zhu Gang felt that Concubine Da Ding was also a pitiful person.

She was involuntarily drawn into the royal disputes, just like a fallen leaf in the wind, drifting without support.

However, the complicated situation in the royal family did not allow Zhu Gang to have too much compassion.

He could only consider the overall situation first, just like a chess player focusing on the entire game rather than the gains and losses of a single piece. Xu Miaoyun blushed, feeling shy about their intimate behavior.

She lowered her head slightly, and her shy look was like a water lily bud about to bloom, nodding slightly in the morning light.

However, Xu Miaoyun felt somewhat sad.

She secretly thought that she and Zhu Gang had been married for so long, but still had no children.

In this royal family, offspring are of vital importance, as they relate to the continuation of the family and the status in the court.

Just like the foundation of a building, it is indispensable.

Looking at the princesses around her who already had children, Xu Miaoyun's heart was filled with envy and anxiety.

The envy was like a small flame burning brighter and brighter in her heart.

Anxiety was like an invisible net that tightly enveloped Xu Miaoyun.

She couldn't help but sigh softly and whispered, "My dear, we have been married for a long time but have no children yet. I am really worried.

In this royal family, having too few offspring may affect your future."

Zhu Gang held Xu Miaoyun's hand and said gently, "Miaoyun, don't rush this matter, everything is up to fate.

As long as you and I are united in purpose, there will always be a way.

Don’t worry too much and hurt your body.”

At this moment, the Crown Princess Chang Qingyun, who was dressed in gorgeous attire, walked in with graceful steps.

It's like a noble white swan, gliding lightly on the water.

Today, Chang Qingyun was wearing a goose yellow brocade long skirt with exquisite floral patterns embroidered on it with gold thread. Every stitch and every thread showed the royal luxury.

Under the sunlight, it sparkles brightly.

It was as if her entire body was shrouded in a golden halo, making her look particularly dazzling.

Chang Qingyun has a kind face and there is always a gentle smile on her lips.

That smile is like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and pleasant.

But after experiencing what happened to Mrs. Lu, her eyes became more intelligent and insightful.

Seeing Zhu Gang and Xu Miaoyun like this, Chang Qingyun smiled and joked, "Third brother, everyone is gathering in the East Palace.

You two are so good, hiding here and whispering.

If it gets to the ears of someone with ulterior motives, they might make up some gossip.”

After she said this, there was a hint of concern and worry in her eyes.

Chang Qingyun thought to herself that the hearts of people in the royal family were complicated.

Although we are all family, we must always pay attention to our words and actions.

So as to avoid being caught by others and causing unnecessary trouble.

As the Crown Princess, she is well aware that her words and actions represent the image of the Crown Prince and are related to the reputation of the entire Eastern Palace.

Therefore, Chang Qingyun always carefully maintains this harmony on weekdays, but only she knows the hard work behind it.

Chang Qingyun looked at Zhu Gang and Xu Miaoyun, feeling both concern for them and a hint of worry in her heart.

She was worried that this young and energetic couple did not understand the undercurrents in the royal family and would accidentally get into trouble.

Zhu Gang responded with a smile: "Sister Chang is joking. Miaoyun and I were just talking about preparing gifts for our mother and elder brother during the New Year. There is nothing wrong with that."

Zhu Gang knew that Chang Qingyun's reminder was well-intentioned, but he didn't want her to worry too much, so he made up an excuse to get away with it.

At this moment, he still had a calm smile on his face, as if he was just chatting about family matters.
