Chapter 102 Reward

Xiao Xu has always been a gentle and cowardly person.

Even when Xu Hui was still in favor, she had never taken her legal wife seriously.

Isn't Xiao Xu just a person who can be manipulated at will?
At that time, Xu Hui had already made up her mind that when she had her own son, she would find a way to seize the position of crown prince of the palace.

Why is that idiot Zhu Xunxuan so lucky?
Just because he is the eldest son and his mother is the second daughter of King Zhongshan, can he easily get the status of a crown prince?
Thinking of this, Xu Hui couldn't help but touch her slightly bulging belly again, and her heart felt at ease again.

She raised her head with a smile and looked at Xiao Xu who was sitting in the first seat:

"Princess, you are so arrogant. A family dinner, a family dinner, naturally the whole family should sit together, that's what a family dinner is. If I go back, this dinner... will it still be considered a family dinner?"

The frost on Xiao Xu's face became even colder.

Even her usually graceful willow-shaped eyebrows were slightly raised because of Xu Hui's words, revealing a hint of anger.

But just as she was about to speak, Zhu Gui came up to her with an impatient look:
"What are you arguing about? Can't you just have a meal? Xu, is this the result of you being in charge of the inner house? Is the daughter of the King of Zhongshan like this?!"

Zhu Gui was used to being careless, and because he was at his own house and it was a family dinner on the New Year's Eve, he didn't pay attention to what he said.

It was not until he blurted out these words that Zhu Gui realized something was wrong.

When Xiao Xu heard Zhu Gui mention the deceased King of Zhongshan, her eyes instantly turned red.

At this moment, she looked at Zhu Gui with a look of chilling indifference and hatred:
"How dare you mention my father?"

Zhu Gui knew that he had said the wrong thing and originally wanted to find a way to save face.

However, although Xiao Xu seemed timid, she didn't know what happened today. First, she quarreled with the concubine, and then she went against Zhu Gui at the family dinner, which made Zhu Gui a little embarrassed.

Although Zhu Gui was not the one favored by the old man since he was a child, he was still a prince who was pampered by others. How could he tolerate such grievance?

Seeing this, he became angry.

"What shame do I have? How can I, Zhu Gui, be so shameless? Even if I go to the King of Zhongshan, I have the face to..."

Xiao Xu immediately sneered:
"Then go meet him!"

Meet the King of Zhongshan?

Where shall we meet?
This person has already gone underground.

It was a good day and there was a brazier in the house, but for some reason, Zhu Gui broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Zhu Gui stopped talking, Xiao Xu became like a victorious old hen, protecting her son. She held Zhu Gaoyu's hand and watched the maid make her a cup of Maojian.

Seeing that the situation was about to come to an end, Xu Hui felt unwilling to accept it.

She frowned slightly, revealing a hint of sadness, bit her lips lightly, and hesitated for a long time before raising her watery eyes.

On the surface, she seemed to be talking to Xiao Xu, but in fact, Xu Hui's eyes lingered on Zhu Gui:

"I was wrong after all. Perhaps in the eyes of the princess, we servants are not even considered as people with a name in the palace... Forget it, I will not eat at this family dinner. I don't want to make the princess and the prince worry about this anymore..."

Zhu Gui was a servile person. When he saw Xu Hui's seductive look, he felt a little relieved.

When Xiao Xu saw this scene, her face remained calm and there was no ripple at all.

It's just some old tricks.

As long as it doesn't involve her parents' family and children, she doesn't care about anything.

But Zhu Gaoyu couldn't bear it anymore.

No!

When will these adults ever stop?
It's just a meal, but you're complaining so much.

If it were Prince Yan's Mansion, someone like Xu Hui wouldn't be able to cause any trouble at all.

Not to mention whether his mother would agree, just talking about his father, it is impossible for him to be as stupid as Zhu Gui.

That’s right, it’s brain-dead!
His legal wife was obviously the second daughter of King Zhongshan, but he allowed the concubines in the mansion to bully his legal wife. Did he think that his life was too good?

Seeing that Xu Hui wanted to speak, Zhu Gaoyu put down his chopsticks:
"Bitch! Are you done yet?"

Xu Hui was completely stunned.

She asked in disbelief:

"You, you...what did you call me?!"

Zhu Gaoyu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled:
"Slut. That's what I said the last time I saw Uncle Thirteen slap you."

Zhu Gui’s expression froze.

The romantic feelings that had arisen in my heart after seeing Xu Hui's behavior just now suddenly disappeared.

Xu Hui gritted her teeth, feeling extremely humiliated, but couldn't say anything.

What could she say?
Zhu Gaoyu was only five years old, just a child!

Who can bear to embarrass a child?

When Zhu Di just came in, he heard his son's explosive speech.

His expression was a little strange. He lowered his head and looked at his outstretched foot, seeming a little hesitant.

He was considering whether to go inside now.

On the other side, after hearing what Zhu Gaoyu said, Xu Hui was so angry that she almost died.

No wonder my brother always complained that Zhu Gaoyu was a devil who was not to be provoked or beaten and was very annoying.

At that time, Xu Hui didn't take it seriously.

But after this head-on confrontation, Xu Hui discovered...she really had no way to control Zhu Gaoyu.

She swallowed her anger and smiled:
"Your Majesty, there is actually one thing I haven't told you..."

Zhu Gaoyu picked up a small piece of cake and ate it leisurely, while sitting with his aunt to watch the play.

Zhu Gui was a little annoyed, so he waved his hand and tried to brush it off:
"If you have anything to say, wait until tomorrow..."

Xu Hui understood the meaning of his words and immediately became anxious, and said quickly:

"Your Majesty, I am pregnant."

Zhu Gui was about to close his eyes, but because of this sentence, he paused and suddenly opened his eyes: "Are you pregnant?"

Xu Hui could hardly suppress the smile that was about to appear on her lips.

She could almost foresee that the King of Dai would hold her in the palm of his hand because of this news, and Xiao Xu would have to temporarily avoid her edge.

only……

To Xu Hui's surprise, the King of Dai simply glanced at her and nodded, his tone rather lazy and careless:
"Since you're pregnant, sit down."

Seeing Xu Hui frozen in shock, Zhu Gui frowned again:
"Why, do I have to invite you?"

Xu Hui had planned everything, but she had never expected that the current situation would be like this.

Seeing this, Xiao Xu raised the corner of her lips slightly but said nothing.

A man like Zhu Gui, when he loves a woman, will risk his life for her even if he cannot have children.

He doesn't like it now. Even if he has a gold nugget in his belly, he still won't even look at it.

Xiao Xu herself is an excellent example.

Zhu Gaoyu ate the melon for a long time, and felt full before he even started eating.

He had sharp eyes and spotted Zhu Di at the gate at a glance.

Zhu Gaoyu had a smiling face:
"Dad, come and sit down."

Dad, come and see.

There is excitement here.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gui obviously understood the meaning of Zhu Gaoyu's words.

Before Zhu Di could do anything, Zhu Gui turned his head and glared at Zhu Gaoyu quietly.

As expected, children are still the most annoying thing.

Whether he is my biological son or my nephew...it's all the same!
Because he was holding back his anger, when Zhu Di took his seat, Zhu Gui actually had the guts to speak to the Prince of Yan:

"Fourth brother, the construction of Datong City is almost complete. It's time for you to go back."

They took the name and profit.

It makes Zhu Gui look like a waste.

Zhu Di slowly picked up the wine cup and took a sip. When the wine tasted sweet in his lips, he slowly spoke:

"No hurry, wait a little longer."

Zhu Gui was a little disgusted: "How long will it take? Can you give me a definite answer?"

After listening to this, Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at Zhu Gui indifferently.

He didn't speak though.

But Zhu Gui clearly sensed his disdain.

It seemed as if Zhu Di was happy to stay with him.

The backyard is full of chaos every day. Today they are jealous of each other, and tomorrow they are fighting over a headdress.

If Zhu Di could see it, he now felt that what his son said was absolutely right.

This group of people ate too much.

If you live like a refugee, forget about having pearls or jewelry on your head. Even gold will not be worth a bowl of rice porridge when you are almost starving to death.

Just as he was thinking about it, a eunuch suddenly ran hurriedly to the door.

Before Zhu Gui could show any displeasure on his face, he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty...Outside the palace, people from Yingtian have arrived."

Zhu Gui paused while picking up the food.

Zhu Di smiled at this time.

He put down the wine cup, stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his robe, and spoke slowly:
"Thirteenth brother, it's time to go back."

Yingtian's troops...

Why did people from Yingtian suddenly come at this time?
In a flash, Zhu Gui suddenly thought of Zhu Gaoyu.

He suddenly looked at Zhu Gaoyu with burning eyes.

If he remembered correctly, it had been about a month and a half since the last recipe for cement and concrete was sent to Yingtian.

If we hurry up, we may find that these people...are really here for Zhu Gaoyu.

No wonder his “good second brother” was still saying just now, wait a little longer or something.

It turns out that it’s because his son’s reward has not arrived yet!
Zhu Gui glanced at his troublesome son.

Zhu Xunyan was seen still sucking his fingers, staring with big eyes, looking silly.

Let’s look at Zhu Gaoyu again…

Just from his bright eyes, we can tell that this kid is a smart one!

This is really like comparing yourself to others, it’s really frustrating!

Even though he was extremely reluctant, Zhu Gui had to hold his nose and go to the front hall to receive the imperial edict as the old man's men had arrived.

Following behind him was a large group of people from the Dai Wang Mansion.

Zhu Gaoyu had seen the eunuch who came to announce the decree before, but this time he did not try to be clever, but knelt down obediently to receive the decree.

The decree was nothing special, just some flattering words that were so familiar to me.

But when he heard the final details of his annual salary and reward, Zhu Gui suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Conferred the title of a prince?
Or the Prince of Dinghai? !
The most important thing is, Zhu Gaoyu, the prince, actually has a fiefdom?!
