The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were still stunned in place, secretly wondering what the little guy's actions meant.

Just then, a servant's voice suddenly came from outside.

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

Before the words were even finished, Crown Prince Zhu Biao had already appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Looking at the mess in the courtyard,

Zhu Biao's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings before finally settling on Old Zhu, and only then did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, begin to relax.

He jogged forward quickly, looked his father up and down carefully, and asked with a concerned expression:

"Father, are you injured? Is anything bothering you?"

A simple greeting,

This immediately brought great comfort to Old Zhu.

He said "good" three times in a row, and couldn't help but burst into happy laughter.

He secretly sighed to himself:

Of all her sons, Biao'er was the most considerate and sensible, always thinking of her.

Unlike some debt-collecting brat who spends all his time thinking about how to annoy his father!

Zhu Shuang, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Su all adopted a stern, pointing expression, as if to say:

You see, Father only has two children in his heart: the eldest, Zhu Biao, and the young, old, Zhu Ming.

Their sons weren't even mentioned; they were just background figures from beginning to end!

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and boasted to Empress Ma beside him, "See? Our eldest son really cares about his father. Unlike that brat, the sixth son, who's always thinking about how to annoy us!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma immediately rolled her eyes and glared at him reproachfully.

"When did Ming'er ever intentionally provoke you? If Ming'er hadn't stepped in to protect you just now, would you even have time to say these things here?"

"If you really dislike Ming'er, from now on, the eldest child will be yours, and the youngest will be mine. We'll live our own lives and not interfere with each other!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless on the spot, his lips twitched, and he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

Zhu Biao, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Like his younger brothers back then, he didn't immediately recognize that the bright-eyed girl in front of him, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, was actually his birth mother, Empress Ma!

They treated her as a newly arrived concubine, who spoke without manners and dared to contradict the emperor in public, showing no respect for hierarchy.

However, on the other hand, this new concubine of the Emperor looks somewhat similar to the Empress Dowager when she was young.

Could it be that Father Emperor... is fickle and tired of the old?

That won't do!

Zhu Biao quickly scanned the entire courtyard, searching for Empress Ma, and asked, "Father, why can't I see Mother?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Empress Ma, who looked like a young girl beside him, and the two of them burst into laughter.

"Haha, we were wondering why Biao didn't greet you when he saw you. Turns out he didn't recognize you for a while!"

"It's understandable that Biao'er wouldn't recognize me because my appearance has changed so much. I can't blame the child."

I overheard their conversation.

Zhu Biao's eyes widened instinctively, and his mouth gaped open.

"Father, are you saying that this beautiful, youthful girl, barely sixteen years old, is actually my mother?!"

Hey, this kid's not stupid, he knows how to salvage the situation!

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in response, "That's right, she is your mother, our sister, and the head of the six palaces!"

And on the other side,

He was showered with praise by his eldest son.

A slight blush rose on the cheeks of the young-looking Empress Ma.

They're all getting on in years.

And people praised me like this!

Feeling a little embarrassed, she said softly, "Biao'er, you flatter me too much. I am not as beautiful as you say."

However, despite her humble words, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, clearly pleased with herself.

After receiving confirmation, Zhu Biao felt a little dizzy, looking back and forth at his mother, who had lost the traces of time.

In his eyes, the girl was slender and graceful, with bright and charming eyes, delicate and firm skin, and every smile and frown was full of vitality.

She was completely different from the dignified and composed Empress Dowager who managed the six palaces in the past!

"Big brother, you're shocked, aren't you? Our reaction was exactly the same as yours when we found out the truth!"

The four princes, Zhu Shuang, Zhu Gang, and Zhu Di, who were standing nearby, came over. It was the second prince, Zhu Shuang, who had just spoken.

Zhu Gang continued, "When we first saw the Empress Dowager, we thought she was our aunt."

Zhu Di: "Later, I realized the age didn't match up, and I mistakenly thought she was our cousin. I never even considered the possibility that she was our mother!"

Zhu Su: "..."

You've all finished speaking, what am I supposed to say?

Crown Prince Zhu Biao glanced at his younger brothers, then looked up at his radiant and beautiful mother, and suddenly his vision went black; he almost fainted on the spot.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Actually, it's very simple. First, do this; then do that; and finally, do this again." Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and concluded, "Do you all understand?"

Zhu Shuang and the other three looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison: "We don't understand!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately flew into a rage and yelled at the group, "Are you all pig-brains? How can you be so stupid? I've explained it so clearly, and you still don't understand. How could I have such stupid sons like you?"

At this moment, Zhu Biao quickly interrupted, slowly sorting out his thoughts, and said, "Father, I understand."

"You mean on the day of my sixth brother's birthday, by chance he became a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, who took pity on him and bestowed upon him an unparalleled immortal destiny, and also gave him an immortal pill."

"Sixth Brother couldn't bear to eat it himself, so he fed the elixir to Mother, which allowed her to reverse the aging process and regain her youthful beauty, is that right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately burst into laughter, patted Zhu Biao's shoulder heavily, turned to glance at his other sons, and said with a hint of pride:

"Look at that, our old man's still the sharpest! You bunch of idiots, you should learn from your eldest brother!"

"Stop focusing all your time on building muscle. Asking you to study more is like doing you a disservice. You're just..."

Zhu Shuang, Zhu Gang, and Zhu Di exchanged glances and sighed helplessly at the same time.

Again,

Whenever the eldest brother is present,

No matter what the brothers did, they would all be compared and criticized by their father, and they would always be the ones who were inferior.

Of course, apart from the sixth brother.

But then again, where did that kid Zhu Ming go?

I haven't seen him since.

Not only them, but even Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma noticed something was wrong.

If the little guy doesn't show his face, he must be plotting something!

Old Zhu's heart tightened, and he quickly scanned the entire yard, searching for the little guy's whereabouts.

"Look what Sixth Brother is eating! He's so fast!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned his head to look, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his vision went black.

In just this short time,

The Peppa Pig that was over three meters tall had been eaten away by the little guy, leaving only its head.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately pointed a finger at Zhu Ming, roaring, "You brat, who told you to eat? Shut up right now!"

When Zhu Ming realized he had been caught stealing food, he quickly accelerated the destruction of the evidence.

By the time Old Zhu ran over, the whole roasted pig had been completely devoured by the little guy, leaving not even a bone.

Now, the little guy is sitting on the ground with a satisfied look on his face, rubbing his round belly with both hands, and letting out a loud burp!
