Chapter 25 Visiting Prince Yan’s Mansion
As soon as the guard at the gate of the palace heard that Zhu Song was a prince, he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands respectfully.
"Your Highness, who are you?"
Zhu Song jumped off his horse and said, "I am the King of Han."
"It turns out to be His Royal Highness King Han. Please wait a moment. I will go and report to the princess now!"
The guard quickly entered the palace to report to the princess. Zhu Song slowly walked up the steps, while Zhu Gaoxu stood there dumbfounded.
Zhu Song waved his hand in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and the boy finally came to his senses, quickly took a step back and cupped his hands.
"Uncle...uncle."
Zhu Song smiled and patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder.
"Don't be so nervous. You are the second eldest son of the fourth brother's family. I am right, right?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
"Replying to my uncle, my nephew is my father's second son. My nephew didn't know you were my uncle just now. I offended my uncle. Please forgive me!"
At this moment, Princess Yan came out with her eldest son and younger son. Zhu Song quickly raised his hands when he saw Princess Yan.
"My 20th brother has met my fourth sister-in-law!"
It is said that this is the first time for Princess Yan to see this brother-in-law.
"Twentieth brother, there is no need to be so polite. Gao Chi Gao Sui, why don't you meet your twentieth uncle soon!"
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui saluted Zhu Song one after another.
"My nephew has met Uncle Twenty!"
Zhu Song looked at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui. Zhu Gaochi was indeed a fat prince.
He was the emperor after Emperor Yongle. Although he was only in office for a month, he was the prisoner of the country when Emperor Yongle was in power and served for more than ten years.
"Twentieth brother, let's go into the house and talk!"
Princess Yan said and gave Zhu Gaoxu a fierce look.
Everyone entered Prince Yan's Mansion and sat down one after another after being polite. Zhu Gaoxu stood beside his mother obediently, not even daring to raise his head.
Princess Yan glanced sideways at Zhu Gaoxu and said coldly: "Gaoxu, mother just heard that you were disrespectful to Uncle Twenty. What have you taught me in normal times?"
Zhu Song smiled and smoothed things over for Zhu Gaoxu: "Fourth sister-in-law, there is no need to be so angry. Gao Xu has already apologized to me just now. From my point of view, let this matter just go away!"
As the saying goes, you should not spank your children in front of outsiders. Princess Yan also had the intention not to scold Zhu Gaoxu in front of her 20th brother, so she just gave up.
However, Princess Yan's family education was very strict. I'm afraid that after Zhu Song left, Zhu Gaoxu would still have to be served with a cane.
"Why don't you thank you Uncle Twenty!"
Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Song gratefully, and then thanked him sincerely.
"Nephew, thank you Uncle Twenty!"
Zhu Song waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing, but why are you standing at the door of the palace? I saw you like this when I returned to the palace last night, and you are still like this when I came to visit today."
Princess Yan smiled and explained to Zhu Song: "It's not that he is usually too naughty and undisciplined, but he has caused trouble for me in the palace in the past few days, so I ordered him to guard the door.
He was punished, but I didn’t expect that he still caused trouble.”
Zhu Song smiled: "Boy, if you are naughty, it is not a bad thing. Moreover, I see that Gao Xu and Kong Wu are also good at practicing martial arts. In the future, they can help the fourth brother to guard the borders.
This is a good thing.”
When Zhu Gaoxu heard Zhu Song's evaluation of himself, he fell in love with this twenty-seventh uncle even more. Not only was he generous, but he also said good things to himself to avoid being punished in front of his twentieth uncle.
If it were another uncle who had a bad temper and refused to let go, I'm afraid he would still have to be reprimanded in front of him, and he would still have to be reprimanded after he left. One less meal would be a meal.
.
After Princess Yan had several contacts with Zhu Song, her inner opinion of Zhu Song improved a lot. Obviously they were the same age, and Zhu Song was only a few months older than Zhu Gaoxu, but they looked like they were in the sky and on the earth.
Zhu Song is sixteen years old, mature and mature, and he does not lose the majesty of a prince in every move he makes. But looking at his son, who is also sixteen years old, he is still naughty and does not know how to respect his elder brother, which gives the princess a headache.
"Twenty-year-old brother, Gao Xu and you are still the same age. You are only a few months older than him, but it doesn't look like you two were born in the same year."
Zhu Song laughed after hearing this.
"This is his blessing, Fourth Sister-in-law. When my brother was eleven years old, he went to Liaodong alone to become a feudal vassal. He has experienced a lot, and naturally he is much more stable than Gao Xu."
"My younger brother heard that when my fourth brother was young, he was also the No. 1 Demon King. This Gao Xu can be considered a descendant of the same lineage!"
Zhu Song said and looked at Princess Yan. The two looked at each other and laughed.
After all, they are still members of the same family. In this way, the relationship has become much warmer.
Princess Yan was also in a good mood, thinking that she would just give a few words of instruction later, and would not use the cane to perform the addition.
Zhu Song looked at the fat Prince Yan.
"Is this Gao Chi?"
Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and said, "Replying to my twentieth uncle, my nephew is Zhu Gaochi."
Zhu Song nodded: "Yes, I have read your article and you wrote it very well. I heard that you have now begun to help your father take over some government affairs in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Zhu Gaochi replied: "As far as my twentieth uncle is concerned, my nephew usually helps his father with some small favors."
Zhu Song nodded, then looked at Chen Zheng, who immediately took out the prepared gift.
Zhu Song took one of the boxes and opened it to find a Korean ginseng.
"I heard that you got sick when you were young, so your health and bones have not been very good. This Korean ginseng was specially selected by me from the palace to give to you. Please keep it to replenish your body, and I will help you in the future.
Father."
"Nephew, thank you Uncle Twenty!"
Zhu Gaochi took the ginseng. He also hoped that his body and bones would be better, so that he could help his father handle the government affairs in Peiping, get better, and do more good things for the people.
Zhu Song looked at Zhu Gaoxu again.
"Gao Xu, since you are good at martial arts, I will give you this fine bearskin. You can use this bearskin to make a big cloak or make some clothes. It is cold in Peiping, so you should take good care of yourself and help
Your father guards the border and protects the peace of our Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Gaoxu was also very happy after hearing this. After taking the bear skin, he found that it was indeed a bear skin with excellent coat color. At a glance, he knew that it was a bear skin that had just grown up. The coat color was bright and not dark. It was really a good product.
"My nephew, thank you to your 20th uncle. My nephew, thank you to your 20th uncle."
Zhu Song took out another small box, looked at Zhu Gaosui, and waved his hand to signal Zhu Gaosui to come forward.
"Gao Sui is still young, and I don't know whether he will pursue literature like your eldest brother or martial arts like your second brother in the future. But no matter whether he pursues literature or martial arts, the pen is indispensable!"
