Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 12 Family Conflicts Caused by Candied Haws
He had a safe journey and when he returned home, his father and mother were sitting in the house chatting about something. As soon as they saw him, they stopped talking.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Zhu Zhanhe was the first to greet his father and mother.

"It's good that you're back. Come, sit down and have a cup of tea. We'll have dinner later." Princess Wei looked at her tall and strong son. She became more and more satisfied, and her face was full of smiles.

"It's good that you're back. You just came back and you went to the Taoist temple. I shouldn't have agreed to let you learn Taoism in the first place." Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han was very dissatisfied. His son had just returned from the war, and he went to the Taoist temple after a stroll to see his parents. It was really annoying! He might as well have gone to a brothel!

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu would definitely not let his wife hear about visiting a brothel, otherwise she would probably be scolded again. As the Prince of Han, he didn't want to be scolded, as he was a man who cared about his reputation!

After hearing his father's complaints, Zhu Zhanhe pretended not to hear them and automatically filtered them out. Then he turned his wrist and took out the candied haws he had just bought on the street from behind.

"Dad, Mom, I was just strolling on the street and brought you something. I taste good. Would you like to try it?" Zhu Zhanhe took out something wrapped in bamboo leaves from behind his back as if he was presenting a treasure.

"What?" Princess Wei's face was filled with joy and surprise, and she looked at her precious son with great interest.

"You also brought us something, let me see it." Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu was also very happy. After all, it was the first time that his son brought him something. But for the sake of his dignity as Prince of Han, he still looked calm, but his face was full of anticipation, which could not be faked.

"Candied haws! I just ate some, it tastes great, would you like to try some?" Zhu Zhanhe opened the candied haws wrapped in bamboo leaves in his hand, revealing three strings of candied haws.

"Tanghulu?" Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han looked disgusted. He didn't want to eat it! Zhu Gaoxu glanced at it with disdain and turned his head to the side.

"If you don't eat it, I will. This is what my son brought me!" Looking at the disdainful Prince Han, Princess Wei rolled her eyes at her own Prince Han, and then looked at the candied haws with a sigh on her face. She hadn't eaten this thing for many years.

"Son, your father doesn't want to eat it. Bring it to me quickly. I haven't eaten it for many years. Let me have a taste." Princess Wei was very touched that her son brought something for her. Then she thought about not having eaten candied haws for many years and wanted to try it.

"Mom, since my dad doesn't want to eat them, these are for you. Well, you can also leave one string for Aunt Xiu'er." Zhu Zhanhe took two quick steps and came to his mother Wei. He took out a string of candied haws, put the rest on the table, and bent down to feed them to his mother with his own hands.

Mrs. Wei was stunned at first when she saw the candied haws that her son fed her, then she took a small bite with a happy look on her face.

"Hmm, delicious." Princess Wei ate a candied haws fed by her own son, and immediately felt sweetness blooming in her heart. She was so happy that her eyes almost melted when she looked at her son.

However, Princess Wei did not forget to secretly glance at Prince Han standing beside her. She saw Prince Han staring blankly at the scene of loving mother and filial son in front of him, and his mentality was a little broken.

We saw our Prince Han holding the teacup in one hand and standing there in a daze, with no intention of continuing to drink. Seeing her own prince like this, Princess Wei was even happier. She looked at Prince Han provocatively, and then ate another candied haws fed by her son. It was still very sweet!

"Ahem, ahem, why hasn't Xiu'er's dinner arrived yet? I'm hungry." Finally, Prince Han Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hold it in any longer and directly interrupted this happy scene of loving mother and filial son.

"Dad, you are hungry. I'll go see her and bring Aunt Xiu'er a candied haws." Zhu Zhanhe felt a little awkward for some reason after hearing what his father Zhu Gaoxu said. He looked at his mother again and decided to go to the small kitchen to see if there was anything delicious to eat at night.

"Dad, Mom, I'll leave first." Zhu Zhanhe picked up a string of candied haws, said something to his dad and mom, and went out.

"Prince Han, what do you want to say?" Princess Wei chewed the candied haws that her son had just fed her slowly and swallowed it. The smile on her face could not be hidden. She reached out and took another candied haws from the bamboo stick and stuffed it into her mouth, savoring it carefully: "Well, what my son bought is delicious!" "What's so delicious about candied haws? I've eaten the old man's deer antlers, orangutan lips, and bear paws. I don't want this. It's something that children from ordinary families eat. I, the dignified Prince Han, don't eat it." Our proud Prince Han Zhu Gaoxu looked disgusted and took a sip of the tea in his hand.

"Bah, why is this tea bitter? It's so hard to drink." Prince Han put the teacup in his hand heavily on the small tea table in front of him with a look of disgust. His face showed dissatisfaction, but his wise eyes were fixed on the candied haws in front of his wife.

Looking at her own arrogant and stubborn Prince Han, our Princess Wei did not tolerate him at all. She picked another candied haws from the only remaining intact candied haws and stuffed it into her mouth in the horrified eyes of Prince Han.

"What my son bought is delicious." After eating one, Princess Wei did not forget to look at Prince Han with contempt.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? How can you eat that string? It's mine! You, you, you..." When Prince Han saw his wife picking a candied haws from another string, he was immediately dissatisfied. He jumped up and pointed at his wife with a look of dissatisfaction and his eyebrows twisted.

"Huh? Hey! Doesn't Prince Han refuse to eat the food that only common people eat? Bear paws are still delicious." Princess Wei looked at her own Prince Han who was jumping up and down with a teasing look on her face, and then reached out to pick another candied haws to eat. It was bought by her son, and she couldn't eat enough!
"This is mine." Seeing his wife about to eat again, Prince Han couldn't hold back any longer. He quickly came to the princess and snatched his own string of candied haws. Then, in front of the princess's surprised eyes, Prince Han stuffed the remaining candied haws into his mouth all at once, like a shovel, until his mouth was full.

Seeing Prince Han chewing with big mouthfuls, Princess Wei couldn't help laughing any longer.

"Hehehe" crisp laughter kept coming out from Princess Wei's cherry lips. The princess covered her mouth with the small handkerchief in her hand to prevent Prince Han from seeing her smile, but the crisp laughter could not be hidden.

"Well, it tastes just so-so." After struggling for a long time, Prince Han finally swallowed the candied haws stuffed in his mouth amid the laughter of his wife. At the end, he didn't forget to mutter that it was not very delicious.

Princess Wei of Han looked at her own Prince Han with disdain, stopped teasing him, and continued to taste her candied haws.

"You should pay attention to He'er's marriage. I am going to start looking for one. Think about what your requirements are, or you will be dissatisfied later." Princess Wei said that she was here to arrange her son's marriage, which was a big deal.

"Well, I'll consider it." Speaking of his son's marriage, Prince Han looked serious.

"Also, I asked Xiu'er to arrange for Jian'er and Yun'er to sleep with me, and tell you as their father about it." Princess Wei told her own Prince Han about another small matter.

"You just make the decisions on these matters." Our Prince Han never worries about these things. After all, his wife is very capable.

"I have to go to the boss's place tomorrow. I'll go to the study first to think about tomorrow's affairs. Please ask someone to call me for dinner." Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han was talking to his wife while secretly watching his wife eat the candied haws which had only two pieces left.

"Okay, go ahead." Princess Wei felt unhappy when she heard that Prince Han was going to cause trouble for the boss again, and responded absentmindedly.

Seeing that his wife agreed, Prince Han Zhu Gaoxu was absent-minded. He walked leisurely to his wife. In the surprised eyes of Princess Han, he grabbed the only two candied haws left by his wife and ran away, leaving Princess Han with a look of astonishment.

"Prince Han!" A moment later, the deafening voice of our Princess Wei of Han was heard from the room?
