My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 101: Little New Year Family Dinner
After seeing the Urban Cannon, the Jinyiwei and his entourage finally achieved the purpose of their trip.

Zhu Gaoyu had made things convenient for Tu Ma and the others, so they didn't mind doing him a favor and revealing some information.

I only heard Tu Ma lower his voice and speak softly:
"Your Highness, you must prepare these days. You never know when someone will come to reward you..."

Zhu Gaoyu also followed his example, lowering his voice, unable to conceal his excitement:

"What does Grandpa Huang plan to reward me with?"

Seeing this, the butcher couldn't help but laugh.

After all, he is just a child.

No matter how mature Zhu Gaoyu was in his daily life, no matter how earth-shaking the things he had done were, he still couldn't hide his excitement when faced with the reward.

Thinking of the rumors in the capital, some people said that His Majesty favored Zhu Gaoyu, a little grandson...

Tu Ma thought about it and actually understood it.

As Your Majesty grows older, the suspicious side of most rulers becomes more and more exaggerated.

When faced with his energetic children and grandchildren, he feels gratified, but at the same time, he can't help but have some negative thoughts because he thinks of his own aging self.

Zhu Gaoyu was neither too old nor too young, and he could act like a fool and tinker with some things to please the emperor.

That's it... Doesn't His Majesty have to keep him in his heart?
Wait until you have finished visiting the entire Zhuangzi.

the end.

Zhu Gaoyu even warmly invited the Jinyiwei to have a meal before leaving.

Tu Ma was a little tempted, but when he thought of his identity, he refused with some regret.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was a knife in the hands of the Ming Emperor.

They can only be the emperor's lackeys.

Being too close to Zhu Gaoyu now is not a good thing for them, Zhu Gaoyu, or even Prince Yan.

After a few brief greetings, Tu Ma and other Jinyiwei left with their little notebooks in their arms, feeling satisfied.

Zhu Gaoyu just stood there, thinking about the reward given to him by the emperor from Tu Ma's mouth.

What kind of reward will it be?

Zhu Di saw him thinking deeply and thought that Zhu Gaoyu was reluctant to let go because of Tu Ma and others.

So he stepped forward, tapped his head gently, and said calmly:

"Okay, now that everyone has left, let's stop looking. The Little New Year is coming in a few days, let's get ready. Your uncle Thirteen's house must have prepared a lot of food. If we don't go to eat, wouldn't that be a bargain for him?"

Zhu Gaoyan covered his forehead and frowned:
"The more you hit your head, the dumber it will become. Dad, if you didn't hit me, I would probably become even smarter!"

Zhu Di sneered at this, raised his hand and knocked again, and said slowly:
"What? You still want to go to heaven?"

Zhu Gaoyu looked thoughtful for a moment:

"It's not impossible..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Di lifted him up:

"Without further ado!"

I don’t know if it was Zhu Gaoyu’s illusion, he was always dragged here and there like this…

Now he didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. In fact, having adapted to this feeling, he felt that... just hanging like this without having to walk was quite good.

……

The days flew by.

At this time, the reward team was gradually approaching Datong as time went by.

In the Prince Dai's Palace.

Since returning to the palace, Zhu Gaoyu has been completely idle.

While his father was away, he leaned on the cushion, with one arm behind his head, one hand pulling at the pages of the book, and his legs raised high.

Along with the owner's leisurely mood, the crossed legs were still swaying slightly in the air.

It was at this time that Xiao Jixiang came running over with a plate of golden fruit-like things in his hand.

His face was beaming with joy:

"Your Highness, the New Year is coming soon. Eat some candy melon to sweeten your mouth. The coming year will be smooth and smooth, and your life will be sweet and happy!"

As a sweets lover, Zhu Gaoyu stood up immediately when he heard about sugar melon, scooped a sugar melon from the bowl, put it in his mouth, and bit it open with a crunch.

Xiao Jixiang looked at him with a smile on his face, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him sincerely:

"Your Highness has amazing teeth. He can easily crush a small candy melon. I really adore you!"

Zhu Gaoyu put his hands on his hips and laughed:
"Hahaha! That's nothing! Xiao Jixiang, give me another piece of candy melon. I can easily bite it to pieces!"

Xiao Jixiang did as he was told.

Zhu Gaoyu bit the sugar melon into pieces with another crunch.

Xiao Jixiang clapped his hands exaggeratedly again:

"Your Highness is extremely brave and heroic. He will definitely become a great hero in the future..."

now.

outside the room.

Ma Sanbao heard the whole process in the house, and for a moment, there was an indescribable weirdness on his face.

This little auspicious!
The more I look at it, the more I see signs of treachery!

Ma Sanbao just stood at the door, with one hand just about to touch the door panel, but after hearing the sound from inside the house, he put it down again.

After repeating it more than ten times, the exaggerated praise inside finally disappeared. He then restrained his expression and gently knocked on the door.

Zhu Gaoyu's voice came from inside:
"Who?"

"Your Highness."

After hearing that it was Ma Sanbao's voice, the room was filled with clanging noises again. After Zhu Gaoyu agreed, Ma Sanbao pushed the door open and entered.

After entering the house, he glanced around.

Sure enough, the sugar melons had disappeared long ago.

Xiao Jixiang lowered his eyes and stepped aside, seemingly calm, but his fingers hidden in his sleeves revealed his guilty conscience.

Ma Sanbao pretended not to know and said to Zhu Gaoyu:
"Your Highness, there will be a family dinner tonight. The prince asked me to tell you not to be greedy and eat too much snacks."

Zhu Gaoyu grinned and patted his chest:

"Sanbao, don't worry, I don't like snacks at all."

Ma Sanbao looked at him for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, he spoke:
"Your Highness, there are still some candied melon crumbs on your teeth. Please remember to clean them before going to the family dinner."

After saying this, he left leisurely.

Zhu Gaoyu was stunned on the spot.

Cheating...got caught!
Before leaving, when Ma Sanbao reached the threshold, he paused and spoke coldly:
"Xiao Jixiang, if you have time, why not follow me and practice your skills together."

The smile that Xiao Jixiang had just smiled froze in an instant.

Ma Sanbao turned his head and just saw Xiao Jixiang's face looking like he was about to cry or laugh.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"By the way, you must have persisted in learning to read over the past few days, right? Which characters do you recognize now?"

Xiao Jixiang coughed dryly and looked pitiful:
"To be honest with you, Master Sanbao, I am trying hard to recognize these characters. But sometimes, even though I know the characters, they don't want to recognize me!"

When Ma Sanbao heard this bullshit excuse, he almost laughed out of anger.

He was almost pointing at Xiao Jixiang's nose:
"Your Highness is so young, but he already knows a lot of words. As his servant, you are older than him, so how come you are not as good as him?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Jixiang seemed to have found a reason and became excited.

"Your Highness is extremely talented and is superior to me, so that's only natural! It would be abnormal if I were superior to Your Highness!"

Ma Sanbao was silent for a long time and found that the master and servant were quite similar in one aspect.

That is……

They are all very thick-skinned.

……

There is a family dinner at the palace in the evening.

When Zhu Gaoyu arrived, many people were already waiting there.

Among these figures, Zhu Gaoyu saw many familiar faces.

The Chief Clerk of the Prince of Yan's Palace, Qiu Fu, his father's favorite general, the steward of the Prince of Dai's Palace and Xiao Xu, the aunt of the Princess of Dai, and even Xu Hui, all had a seat at this family dinner.

However, because of what happened a few days ago, King Dai's attitude towards Xu Hui became much colder.

In addition, there were innumerable concubines in the backyard. When Xu Hui stepped down, naturally there would be another young, beautiful, gentle and considerate one to take her place.

As time went by, King Dai also forgot the so-called tenderness and sweetness he once had.

It was at this time, when Xu Yuanshao visited with New Year gifts, that he mentioned it in passing.

For the sake of the box of silver, Zhu Gui remembered Xu Hui who was far away in the backyard.

He took advantage of the New Year's Eve to pull Xu Hui out of the corner, just to show some respect.

After these days, Xu Hui gave up her last bit of fantasy and saw the true face of King Dai.

Her last bit of fantasy about King Dai was also completely worn away during these days.

The only thing she can rely on now... is what's in her belly.

Thinking of this, Xu Hui couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on her face. She raised her head calmly and covered her belly with her hands, as if she was covering something.

It was at this time that a hurried voice suddenly broke into the slightly noisy family dinner:

"Aunt!!! Are there any cannons today? Are there any fireworks? If not, do you want me to set off a cannon to liven up the atmosphere?"

When Zhu Gaoyu said this, Zhu Gui just happened to come in from outside.

When he heard the last words, he staggered.

What is this nonsense? !
Instead of fireworks, let's use cannons?!

Just because of this sentence, how could Zhu Gui not set off fireworks and firecrackers for him?
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.

She deliberately raised her head to glance at Zhu Gui, and seeing that his face was pale, she touched Zhu Gaoyu's head and smiled:
"That... is not impossible."

Zhu Gaoyu hummed twice, looking extremely well-behaved.

But in Zhu Gui's eyes, Zhu Gaoyu was clearly a devil.

If you meet him, nothing good will happen!

Zhu Xunyan listened with a vague understanding, not knowing anything, and could only clap his hands and laugh:
"Fire! Fire!"

Zhu Gui’s face became even uglier.

Seeing this, Xu Hui picked up a handkerchief and covered her mouth with it while smiling:
"Xunxuan is the eldest son of our palace, but how come he is only one year younger than Gao Yan and can't even speak complete sentences? Is there something wrong..."

The words were not finished, but they were extremely thought-provoking.

When Xiao Xu heard this, her face turned cold in an instant.

She no longer looked like a clay Buddha that could be manipulated by anyone and was easy to bully like she did in the past.

There was a loud bang and the teacup was suddenly placed on the table.

Xiao Xu's words were cold:
"If you get tired of staying here, go back to your yard!"
