Chapter 250 This kid is a bit of a jerk
"Why hasn't he come back yet? Didn't you send someone to notify him?"

Outside the specially arranged palace in the imperial palace, the old man paced back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back, looking around from time to time, and constantly coming in and out of the palace maids' room.

After watching for a while and seeing that no one had come out to deliver the message, he turned his head and saw Zhu Pangpang who was also nervous next to him, and asked again.

"My son has sent someone to notify Ji Gang. I think he should be back soon."

Zhu Pangpang also clenched his hands nervously. This was the first time he became a grandfather. He had been thinking in his heart how he should meet his eldest grandson for the first time after the little guy was born.

As for his granddaughter, he had never really thought about it.

It's not that he favors boys over girls, but the entire court is looking forward to the Crown Princess giving birth to a son.

Although you can have another child after giving birth to a girl, it is not your first child after all, so it is inevitable that you will feel a little regretful.

"Da da da……"

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard. The two men turned their heads quickly and saw Zhu Zhanjun riding a horse and running towards them quickly.

"You little brat, I've already told you. It's only two days away. Why are you still running around?"

As soon as Zhu Zhanjun got off the horse, the old man gave him a scolding.

"They are in a hurry over there and are launching a general offensive. I rushed back as soon as I heard the news."

When the old man heard that it was about the general attack, his face suddenly became serious.

"Then why did you come back? We are at home, and you just ignore the battlefield. You really have no sense of responsibility at all."

Zhu Zhanjun was speechless. It was you who said you didn't want to come back, and after you came back it was you who said it wasn't possible. This old man is really hard to please.

"Don't worry, it's over. The battle was over when I left, and they were cleaning up the battlefield."

The old man and Zhu Pangpang heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Glancing at the delivery room where people were still coming in and out, the old man lowered his voice and asked, "What are the results?"

"We have completely wiped out the invading enemy. Our losses are not too great. The next step is to negotiate for things, land, and money."

Upon hearing that the enemy was completely wiped out and that his own damage was not serious, the old man's mood instantly became happy.

"It's good as long as we win."

Then he looked towards the delivery room and said with emotion: "This child has come to us victoriously. He is really a lucky star for our family."

"Well, by the way, I should give him a name, what should I call him?"

"Well, the name has been chosen."

Seeing that the old man was about to name the child, Zhu Zhanjun interrupted and reminded the old man that the child had already been named.

The old man glared and looked at Zhu Zhanjun coldly.

"What? Do you think I, an old man, am incapable of picking a good name? Yes, you are the child's father, but according to the family rules, the elders are the ones who give the name, and I am the emperor, so why do you look down on me?"

"No." Zhu Zhanjun quickly shook his head and pointed quietly to the top of his head.

"It was his old man who got it. He had been thinking about it for more than a month."

After looking at Zhu Zhanjun's gesture, the old man instantly figured out who the old man was, and was speechless at that moment.

"What a fool this old guy is. He's already dead, but he still wants to compete with me."

"Cough cough..."

Zhu Zhanjun coughed dryly and reminded quietly, "He can hear it."

The old man's expression froze for a moment. He looked at Zhu Zhanjun, gave a forced smile, then turned and walked to a shadowy place to the side.

"Can you really see it?"

Zhu Pangpang, who was listening at the side, was a little confused and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded.

"Not only are we waiting, but the great grandfather and his family are also waiting. They all want to see the child for the first time."

When Zhu Pangpang heard this, he quickly bowed to everyone around him.

After thanking him, he came over and asked, "What's your name?"

He had never thought about naming his grandson.

Given how much his grandfather dotes on Zhu Zhanjun, this kind of thing has never been his turn, and there's no point in him worrying about it.

"Zhu Qirui!"

Zhu Zhanjun slowly said the name that Old Zhu had given to the child.

"Zhu Qirui."

Zhu Pangpang muttered softly, "The name is good, but it has a bit too much murderous aura. I'm afraid the child can't handle it."

Zhu Zhanjun put his arm around Fatty's shoulders and consoled him, "Don't worry, with a kind grandfather like you here, and our family being a royal family, he must be able to live up to this name."

"Yes."

The old man who had come over at some point said firmly: "Although Rui has a murderous spirit, as an emperor, he should cut through thorns and protect the people."

"I believe that under our guidance, this child will become an outstanding emperor in the future."

Zhu Zhanjun smiled and nodded repeatedly, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

Because he knew in his heart that as long as he didn't want, his child would probably sit on the throne of the crown prince for the rest of his life.

Even this child's son, grandson, and great-grandson will continue to serve as the crown prince like him.

Well, maybe in the future, after this child, all children will be grandsons, not princes.

After all, only the emperor's son can be the crown prince. It would be a bit inappropriate to call his future grandchildren and great-grandchildren the crown prince.

Oh, what a poor kid.

He was destined to have no chance of becoming an emperor before he was born. Being born in this family was both lucky and unfortunate.

"Why haven't you come out yet? How about I go in and take a look?"

After discussing the issue of the child's name, the three of them waited at the door for a long time. Seeing that no news had come in yet, Zhu Zhanjun was anxious to go in.

"Stop for me."

The old man roared and scolded, "How can you enter here? Besides, you just came down from the battlefield, covered in blood and murderous aura. If you scare my great-grandson again, I will not forgive you."

"That's right. It doesn't matter if it's unlucky for you to go in. But if you scare my grandson, I'll beat you up."

Zhu Pangpang on the side also echoed.

Zhu Zhanjun had no choice but to sit at the door and wait.

Soon more and more people came.

The Huo couple came early in the year when they learned that their daughter was pregnant, and Xu Da rushed over as soon as he heard the news. Zhu Zhanjun's mother-in-law bowed and hurried in, intending to stay by her daughter's side.

These are her daughter and her grandson, she won't allow any accidents to happen.

Although she was born in an ordinary family, she had heard about the intrigues in the palace.

My own daughter is the Crown Prince's Consort, the future Crown Princess, and the future Queen. If the first child born is a boy, he will be the heir to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

There are so many evil-minded people in the palace. If one of them had bad intentions and hurt her grandson, she would have no place to cry.

She had made all the plans on the way here. From the moment the child was born, she would never let the child out of her sight for a second.

Although Zhu Zhanjun's father-in-law was also anxious, he still persuaded Zhu Zhanjun beside him.

"Don't be anxious, Your Highness. This is how women give birth. Besides, this is Wenxiu's first child, so it's normal for things to be slow."

"Yes." Xu Da on the side also nodded repeatedly.

"It's okay. You have the protection of your ancestors. I think you are a lucky girl. Nothing will happen to you."

Although Zhu Zhanjun was anxious, he still nodded in agreement.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness."

Just when a few people were getting anxious, Mother Yun walked out quickly with a happy look on her face.

Several people were instantly cheered up and rushed forward to meet him.

Although I saw good news from the other person's face, I was still a little worried because I didn't hear it with my own ears.

Mother Yun stepped forward and bowed to the few people with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Grandson, the Crown Grand Consort and His Royal Highness the mother and child are safe."

When he heard that mother and child were safe, the old man immediately laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, girl."

Then he turned around and shouted to Little Nose, "Hurry up and announce this good news. Also, bring me all the things I have prepared."

"Ugh."

Little Sniffle responded excitedly, turned around and ran out.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, and Your Royal Highness."

The surrounding palace maids, guards and eunuchs all bowed to the ground and congratulated the old man Zhu Zhanjun and others.

"Okay, okay, rewards, all rewards."

The old man was in a good mood. He waved his hand and gave the reward generously.

"Hurry, hurry, go check on the kid, you little bastard."

There was also a burst of joy in the space, and everyone couldn't help but clap and cheer. Old Zhu was so excited that he kept urging Zhu Zhanjun to go and see the child.

Every elderly person hopes that the incense of his family can be passed on as far as possible.

Old Zhu never thought in his life that his family would have five generations living together and that he would be able to see the birth of his great-grandson.

Although Zhu Qizhen and even Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youxiao were right beside him, Zhu always felt a sense of strangeness, without the intimacy that he had with a newborn child whom he had not even met yet.

"Clothes, clothes."

Empress Ma, holding a set of small clothes in her hand, reminded Zhu Zhanjun.

She had made an agreement with Zhu Zhanjun that after the child was born, the first set of clothes the child would wear would be those made by her.

Zhu Zhanjun stopped and walked into a secluded corner. When he came out, he was already with Empress Ma.

"Mom, why are you here?"

The old man who was waiting at the door to look after the child asked in surprise when he saw Queen Ma coming.

Queen Ma glared at him and said, "Why, can't I come and see?"

The old man regretted his words as soon as they came out of his mouth and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Zhu Pangpang, who was standing by, was filled with envy when he saw the small clothes in Empress Ma's hands.

As a grandson, he has never worn clothes made by Queen Ma herself.

Among all their grandchildren, only Zhu Xiongying has this qualification and treatment.

After being notified that everything was cleaned up, the group walked in together.

Huo Wenxiu was lying on the bed, his face still a little pale, his hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, but his mouth and eyes were full of joy.

She finally lived up to everyone's hopes and successfully gave birth to a baby boy.

Zhu Zhanjun walked forward, grabbed Huo Wenxiu's hand, and pressed his forehead against his wife's with heartache.

"Thanks a lot."

Feeling her husband's concern and heartache, Huo Wenxiu's smile widened, and she replied in a weak voice: "For Your Highness and the child, I am willing to die."

Zhu Zhanjun took the handkerchief handed over by Yun's mother, wiped the sweat off his wife's face and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You are the greatest contributor to our Ming Dynasty today. Have a good rest. I will stay with you."

Huo Wenxiu nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep happily.

Nearby, several people were vying to hold the child.

Zhu Zhanjun's mother-in-law was nervously guarding the child, fearing that several people would hurt the child while competing to hold him.

"Look at these kids here, they have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and strong bodies. They will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future."

The old man held the child in his arms and lifted him up, laughing.

"Put me down, you little brat. How can you hold a child like this?"

Empress Ma, who was standing by, frowned when she saw the old man making such a big move. She stepped forward to take the child and scolded the old man severely.

The old man was embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't dare to retort. He could only stand on tiptoe and look at the child in Queen Ma's arms.

"I'll take a look."

Xu Da, who had been waiting for a long time, rubbed his hands and smiled at Empress Ma.

Queen Ma reminded him to be careful before handing the little guy over.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Da carried the child to the light, shone the child slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and handed the child to Empress Xu who had been waiting for a long time.

"Yes, this kid is a good prospect."

After comforting his wife, Zhu Zhanjun staggered and almost stepped on empty air when he heard this.

Isn't it a bit too much to call his son a bastard in front of his father?
