My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 41: Empress Xu's Pride
Xu Huizu told Xu Qin that he wanted to go, and Xu Qin looked at him in surprise.

"If your aunt talks to you about this matter, she will definitely get you enough benefits. I know what kind of person your aunt is. When Zhu Di treated me like this before, your aunt didn't say anything. It's not that she didn't want to help me, but that she couldn't!

At that time, Zhu Di had just ascended the throne. In order to stabilize the world, he had to imprison me and strip me of my title to show those who opposed him that even his brother-in-law had his title stripped. If others dared to oppose him, he would never let them off easily!

I am also worried that those who oppose Zhu Di will try to win me over. You also know my father's influence in the army. Therefore, confinement is the best outcome for me.

But this time is different. Now the world is at peace, and Zhu Di still wants to bully our family. He can't even get past your aunt. The issue of the world's weavers is important to your aunt, but it does not mean that the entire Xu family needs to be sacrificed.

If you want to solve this problem, you have to give the Xu family enough compensation. If the compensation is not enough, your aunt will definitely not agree.

So go with peace of mind. Your aunt is smarter than me and she understands many things better than I do.

You saved her life, how could she treat you badly?
You have been fighting outside every day these years, just because of your aunt, although your aunt has never said anything? But everyone knows that your aunt likes you the most. Even when Zhu Gaosui fought with you and you were punished by His Majesty, your aunt punished Zhu Gaosui.

Do you understand? Don't worry! Your aunt actually hopes that our family's title can be restored, but restoring the title is not that simple. It all depends on Zhu Di's intention. Your aunt can't even mention it. One thing is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. In addition, after all, she is the queen of the Ming Dynasty, the queen of Zhu Di! "Xu Huizu sat there and explained to Xu Qin.

After hearing this, Xu Qin nodded, but he was still a little worried. Was his father going to cheat him? But then he thought, it is unlikely that his own son would cheat him!

"Get up and go to the living room to have breakfast. Your mother and the others are out busy." After Xu Huizu finished speaking to Xu Qin, he stood up and left.

Xu Qin was helpless and still a little nervous, worried that his aunt would disregard the interests of his family. But since his father had said so, he had no choice but to go.

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Xu Jingchang still waiting there.

"Brother, are you okay? What happened?" When Xu Jingchang saw Xu Qin coming, he immediately ran over and supported Xu Qin.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go to the gate of the Imperial College and block them. If they don't pay back the money, we will beat them up and then force them to pay back!" Xu Qin said to Xu Jingchang as they walked.

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he nodded happily and said yes.

"Where's my aunt? I haven't seen her for a while. How is my grandmother?" Xu Qin asked.

"My mother was cleaning up a few houses. When she heard that my aunt wanted to rent a house to put the machines, she said that these houses should be vacated and handed over to my aunt. My family has not done anything, but we only have a 20% share, so we have to do something. It's good to have grandma at home!" Xu Jingchang said.

My grandmother originally wanted to live at home, but there were too many machines at home, so Xu Huizu asked my aunt Mu to move in and live there, as it was quieter there.

"Well, you don't have many friends in school?" Xu Qin continued to ask. He really had no friends and he didn't want to hurt anyone, but Xu Jingchang couldn't do without friends.

"Yes, but they are all scholars. I can't get along with those naughty people. They just want to cheat me of my money, especially after they know that my family also has a share, they want to cheat me of my money even more!" Xu Jingchang looked up at Xu Qin and said.

After hearing this, Xu Qin nodded and said, "It's enough to have friends."

Soon, Xu Qin went to a room next to the living room to eat. Although there were servants serving him, Xu Jingchang stood by and handed him chopsticks, picked up dishes, served him porridge, and served Xu Qin obediently.

Xu Jingchang admired Xu Qin very much in his heart. In his mind, there was no problem that Xu Qin could not solve.

"Brother. Take me out tomorrow and we'll go to your workshop, okay?" Xu Jingchang said to Xu Qin.

"Get out and study hard!" Xu Qin scolded Xu Jingchang.

"Brother, I'm not cut out for it. You know I'm stupid. I can't learn at all. It's pure torture in school!" Xu Jingchang said to Xu Qin with a depressed look on his face.

"All those sons of noble families are suffering. If we let you out, you will get into trouble. You will have to sleep in the Imperial College!" Xu Qin raised his eyes and glared at Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang was helpless now. Since his elder brother had said so, what else could he say?

After Xu Qin finished eating, the two brothers headed towards the palace.

Once they arrived at the palace, they were naturally inspected. Xu Jingchang did not need to be inspected, but Xu Qin did.

Xu Qin didn't care and let them search him.

"Don't go too far. We are here to see my aunt. Why are you searching us like this?" Xu Jingchang shouted at the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

Xu Qin waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, why bother them? They are just following orders."

If there was no order from Zhu Di, would those imperial guards dare to search him? What's the point of bothering with them? Xu Qin had beaten them before, but later he thought, forget it, beating them is useless.

"Brother, we won't come next time!" Xu Jingchang said angrily while standing nearby.

"Aren't you going to come to see your aunt? If your aunt finds out, you'll be in trouble." Xu Qin smiled. The soldier of the Imperial Guard smiled and bowed to Xu Qin, indicating that the body search was over.

Xu Qin walked inside with his hands behind his back.

Soon they met the eunuch who came out of Kunning Palace to greet them.

At this moment, Empress Xu was sitting in the warm room of Kunning Palace looking at something.

There are many things to do in the harem, and many of the royal affairs are handled by the queen, and the huge harem also needs her to manage. Of course, Crown Princess Zhang has also been assisting here.

Empress Xu liked Crown Princess Zhang very much. When she was in Prince Yan's Mansion in Beijing, Empress Xu had trained Zhang to manage the Mansion. Now that she was in the palace, she continued to train her.

"Your Majesty, the two young masters are here." A palace maid close to Empress Xu came in and bowed to her.

"Let them come in quickly!" Empress Xu put down the book in her hand, then looked up and said to Crown Princess Zhang: "Add two more palace maids to Zhanji's side, and two eunuchs to serve her. This child is smart, and Your Majesty likes her!"

"Yes, thank you, mother!" Zhang immediately said with a smile and bowed.

Soon, Xu Qin and Xu Jingchang were led to the warm room. Xu Qin and Xu Jingchang quickly walked to Empress Xu, knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, get up quickly!" Empress Xu smiled and went over to pull up Sakyabao first, and then pulled up Xu Jingchang.

Then she took Xu Qin's hand and sat down beside him. Before Xu Qin could sit down, Empress Xu grabbed his cheek and said harshly, "You lied to your aunt every day, saying that you would come when you were free. It's been more than a month. If your aunt didn't call you, did you forget that there was an aunt in the deep palace?"

"Oh, aunt, I've been so busy not to embarrass you. Let me tell you, I'm making a lot of money now!" Xu Qin was pinched and did not dare to hide, so he begged for mercy immediately.

"I don't think you dare. Your aunt has heard about the cloth business. It's very good. Your aunt has even sent someone to buy some cloth and make clothes for you!" Empress Xu let go of his hand and said to Xu Qin with a smile.

When Xu Qin heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Aunt, I was wrong. I forgot to send you off!"

It’s so straightforward, I forgot to send it.

"Why does aunt want you to send this? Sit down. Aunt knows that your cloth is in short supply and there is not much money at home now. Aunt still has this little bit of money. When my Baoer makes money, aunt will not buy it. I am notifying you to send it!" Empress Xu smiled and pulled Xu Qin to sit down.

Empress Xu was very proud, and this pride came from deep in her bones.

Empress Xu also heard about what was happening outside, and all this proved that her nephew was outstanding. Even in business, he was doing very well, and even the court did not dare to ignore his existence.

This shows that the Xu family has a successor. How could Empress Xu not be happy?

"Hehe, I will give some to my aunt before the New Year. I am still researching new patterns. I feel that five patterns and twenty-five colors are too few. I want to make more and give them to my aunt when the time comes!" Xu Qin smiled and said when he heard what Queen Xu said.

"Well, okay, wait, auntie, don't send too much, just one piece of each color will be fine!" Empress Xu said happily, then turned her head to look at Xu Jingchang who was sitting next to Xu Qin and asked, "How are you doing in school? Don't think that auntie doesn't know what you've done in school!"

"No, aunt, I'm very honest!" Xu Jingchang immediately stood up and answered. He was very afraid of his aunt, who had scolded him several times.

"Hmph, you still know how to be honest. If it weren't for Bao'er protecting you, you wouldn't even know that you were sold. Now that you have grown up and Bao'er is no longer in school, you should be more careful and don't mess around with those unlearned people!" Empress Xu said to Xu Jingchang with a dark face.

"Yeah, yeah!" Xu Jingchang nodded immediately.

At this time, the maid outside brought in fruit snacks.

When Empress Xu saw the tangerines, she immediately picked one up, peeled it, and handed it to Shakya Bao: "Bao'er, try it. It was just delivered not long ago. Bring some back for your parents and grandmothers to try. It's sweet!"

Xu Qin took it with a smile, broke off a few petals and ate them, nodding and saying vaguely that it was delicious.

Empress Xu then asked Xu Jingchang to help as well.

After chatting for a while, Empress Xu took Xu Qin's hand, frowned and asked: "Bao'er, listen to your aunt, control those machines. You have made 800 spinning machines and 600 looms before. If you want to expand this time, make 2,000 spinning machines and 1,500 looms. Don't expand further, it will bring you trouble!"
