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

Chapter 76 Prince Han holds funeral

While the funeral was going on in the Prince of Han's Mansion, in the Prince's Mansion on the other side, Zhu Zhanji was being pulled by the ears by his mother, Crown Princess Zhang.

"Mother, please listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation!" Zhu Zhanji ran around the table, and Princess Zhang chased him with a feather duster. In the end, Zhu Zhanji was still caught by his mother. Princess Zhang grabbed her son's ear and walked away.

"Ouch, mother, please be gentle, it hurts! Ouch~" After Zhu Zhanji was pulled by his mother's ear, he could only beg for mercy with a funny face, hoping that his mother would show mercy and let him go.

"You still feel the pain and have the nerve to beg for mercy. Why didn't you say anything when you did that unreliable thing!" Princess Zhang grabbed her son's ear, came to sit in front of the table, looked at her son with a look of disappointment, and still had no intention of letting go.

"What is this?" Suddenly, the voice of the head of the Prince's Mansion was heard at the door. Zhu Zhanji knew that his savior had arrived.

"Dad, Dad, Dad, please come and save me, my ears are about to be pulled off by my mother." Zhu Zhanji tilted his head and quickly called for his father for help.

"Look, how can you hit a child? Let go and talk it over." The prince was indeed a kind-hearted man. Seeing his son suffering, he quickly stepped forward to rescue him.

"The Crown Prince is here. You've come at the right time. Come and listen to the good things your son has done!" When the Crown Princess saw that it was the head of the family who came, she also let go of her hand, but turned around in annoyance and refused to pay attention to her son.

"You kid, look how angry you made your mother. Why don't you apologize to her right away?" The prince looked angry and tried to smooth things over, asking his son to admit his mistake first.

"Mom, isn't it okay that I was wrong? Please don't be angry with me. I'm still counting on your help." Zhu Zhanji walked around to the other side of the table, squatted on the ground, massaged the Crown Princess' legs, and said nice things to her.

"Hmph!" The Crown Princess didn't want to pay attention to her son, so she turned to the other side. Zhu Zhanji quickly squatted down and followed her, with a flattering smile on his face, and continued to massage the Crown Princess's legs.

"You talk to your father yourself and tell him about the unreliable things you have done." The Crown Princess had no good way to deal with her son who was playing tricks on her. She hit Zhu Zhanji on the shoulder in annoyance and asked him to tell the Crown Prince himself.

"Come on, tell me, if you really did something unreliable, your mother doesn't need to do anything, I will beat you up!" The prince was very curious at the moment about what good things his son had done to make the princess so angry.

"This~, that~..." Zhu Zhanji stood beside his mother with his hands shrugged, like a primary school student who had done something wrong, mumbling for a long time without saying a word.

"What are you talking about, kid? Tell me something." The prince became anxious when he saw his son's look.

"Forget it, forget it. I have a really miserable life. Let me say it." Seeing that her son was hesitating for a long time and couldn't say anything, the Crown Princess stood up with her hands behind her back.

"This kid just came back and told me that his granddaughter might not pass the palace inspection," the Crown Princess continued, looking at her son angrily.

The prince was shocked when he heard this!
"I asked him why, and your son actually said that he had slept with that girl surnamed Sun! He was about to get married! He actually slept with that girl surnamed Sun at this critical juncture." The Crown Princess was so disappointed that she was about to pull her son's ears again. Zhu Zhanji was so scared that he quickly ran around the table.

"Well, son, what do you think?" After hearing what his wife said, the prince was also shocked and stared at Zhu Zhanji in disbelief.

"Your son just asked me to help him during the palace examination and talk to Hu Shangyi so that she can pass the examination! I really can't understand what your son has done!

"This girl lost her mother when she was young, and her father died not long ago. She's in grief right now, and you're just taking advantage of her misfortune, aren't you?" The Crown Princess pointed at her son, her face full of shame.

"Ah? Son, what you did was wrong! I tell you, there is nothing wrong with this girl!" The prince suddenly remembered that Zhu Zhanhe had reminded him before. Now such a thing happened at this critical juncture. As a prince, he couldn't help but think about it! "It's not true! It's not true! Dad, don't think too much!..." Zhu Zhanji was trying his best to defend himself.

Suddenly, bursts of calls were heard outside.

"Prince~, Prince~..." The little eunuch outside the door called out urgently, interrupting the next words of Prince Zhu Zhanji and also interrupting the great-grandfather's words to continue to pursue the issue.

The urgent shouting, like an announcement of a death, made Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi feel a little uneasy. He hurried to the door and saw a young eunuch waiting for him anxiously.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is delirious and has gone mad!" The young eunuch's words made Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi tremble in his heart, and he kicked the young eunuch to the ground.

Before the prince could step forward to ask for details, Prince Zhao rushed in anxiously.

"Brother, the second one has gone crazy!" Prince Zhao's words made the Crown Prince look confused. Did he not check the almanac today and offend some great god?
Without waiting for the Crown Prince to think about it, Prince Zhao dragged him to the Prince of Han's Palace.

Soon, the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao arrived at the gate of Prince Han's Mansion, and Zhu Zhanhe hurried to greet them.

"Uncle, Third Uncle," Zhu Zhanhe greeted the two respectfully.

"He'er, what's wrong with your father?" The prince looked at the white banner hanging in front of the palace gate, and then looked at his nephew in mourning clothes, and was suddenly confused.

"Uncle, Third Uncle. My father must have had a quarrel with Grandpa. He seemed to be scolded badly. He is upset and in a bad mood. Please take care of him, Uncle." Zhu Zhanhe briefly explained the situation to his uncle and Third Uncle, and they immediately understood.

"It's okay, it's okay. Your third uncle and I will go in and persuade him. Don't worry." The prince finally let go of his worries and said to Zhu Zhanhe with a gentle face.

Prince Zhao patted Zhu Zhanhe's arm, shook his head, and went in with the prince.

After entering, the room was still filled with white banners, and everyone was dressed in mourning clothes. The Princess of Han was leading a group of children crying, while the Prince of Han was sitting in the hall, munching on the roast chicken on the altar, his face covered in grease...

The Crown Prince and Prince Zhao got rid of the entanglement of Princess Han and the children, drove away the mourners, and began to drink and have a heart-to-heart talk with Prince Han...

Outside the door, Zhu Zhanhe saw from afar a group of eunuchs striding towards him.

"General Manager, what are you doing..." Zhu Zhanhe saw the eunuchs led by Little Nose approaching and knew that something bad was going to happen, so he took the initiative to greet them and slipped a bag of gold beans into their sleeves.

"Your Highness, I am only following orders and have brought you the Tuo Luo Sutra Quilt! Why don't you ask Prince Han to stand up and receive your orders?" Little Sniff felt the heavy weight in his sleeves and felt much more comfortable. He opened his mouth to offer a suggestion. After all, being kicked by Prince Han was indeed uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Steward. My uncle and third uncle are both in there. If my father has not done everything well, please forgive him!" Zhu Zhanhe shook his head to indicate that he could not persuade him, and had already called the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao to help!
Little Nose looked at Zhu Zhanhe meaningfully and walked into the room.
