Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 108 Xu Huizu was ordered to ‘lurk’, and Jiang Jinzhong went to the East Palace with his eyebrows flying.

The little maid had packed everything and was carrying a bundle.

Inside the baggage were the cute little clothes and shoes that Ma Xiuying had worked overtime to make for Zhu Yuanzhang these days.

Ma Xiuying changed out of her palace clothes and wore a set of very simple and low-key women's clothes.

The master and servant got into a very ordinary carriage, and the driver dressed as a young eunuch drove the horse slowly away from the palace.

The little maid lifted up the curtain and looked outside, then put it down, patted her chest, looked at Ma Xiuying, and said fearfully: "Mother, why do I have the feeling that you are no longer living with His Majesty and will be left behind?" Your Majesty ran away secretly."

puff!

Ma Xiuying was amused, she glared at the little maid with a smile, and thought to herself: No matter how stubborn Zhu Chongba is, it's not like he can't give it a try.

As he thought about it, the smile on his lips grew a little thicker.

The little maid smiled and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Princess Yan is pregnant. How long will our Highness have to hide the fact that she is going to be a father?"

"He can hide it for as long as he wants. He is the emperor anyway, so he doesn't care!" Ma Xiuying got angry when this matter was mentioned.

She has not forgotten what this cruel man said when the fourth child was demoted: Let him marry a black and thick village woman. When their children are six or seven years old, they will not be able to eat good food and will have to work in the fields with the adults. live!

In the past few days, she has made all kinds of small clothes for her future grandson, including tiger shoes and tiger head hats, and she dared not let anyone know about them.

I'm afraid that if the things cannot be delivered to Tuqiao Village, they will be detained!

The little maid stuck out her tongue and said to herself: 'Your Majesty is so pitiful. ’

…

Xu Mansion.

It's approaching evening.

Xu Da estimated that the four Xu Huizu brothers and sisters would be back soon, so they stood at the door of the house and looked around.

An ordinary carriage stopped outside the house.

Xu Da frowned slightly.

When she saw Ma Xiuying getting out of the car, she was still wearing very low-key and simple clothes.

Not caring about anything else, he hurriedly trotted up the steps to meet him, approached, and first lifted the curtain to look inside the carriage...

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "If he doesn't come, you should take a break. He went to the camp outside the city to inspect the garrison in the capital."

Hearing this, Xu Da turned his head and said, dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, Your Majesty, you don't know that Miao Yun is pregnant?"

Ma Xiuying smiled and nodded, and asked, "I saw you standing at the gate of the mansion from afar, are you waiting for Miaoyin and the others to come back?"

"Yes, I don't know how Miaoyun will eat and rest after being pregnant? I'm worried and worried." Xu Da said, hurriedly making an invitation gesture: "Sister-in-law, let's go into the house and wait."

Ma Xiuying smiled and nodded, and at the same time followed Xu Da into the house, she said with relief: "We will listen when Miaoyin girl comes back. If the fourth child can't take care of Miaoyun, I will go there myself. It doesn't matter whether the fourth child is a prince or not, he will always be A piece of flesh that fell off my body.”

"If Zhu Chongba is capable, he will depose his sister-in-law as a queen and expel her from the family tree!"

"In short, we will definitely not let Miaoyun girl suffer at this time!"

…

Not long after Ma Xiuying arrived at Xu Mansion.

Xu Huizu and his three sisters also appeared at the alley.

The carriage slowly approached the gate of the mansion.

Xu Miaojin climbed out of the car window early to observe. She didn't see her father at the door of the house. She turned around and said in surprise: "Second sister, this time my father is not waiting outside the door of the house. I still want to laugh at my father."

Xu Miaoyin glared at the naughty sister and said with a smile: "Maybe there is something wrong."

The carriage did not stop at the main entrance. Xu Huizu took his sister and drove the carriage directly into the mansion through the side door.

…

"Master, master, the young father-in-law and the ladies are back!"

living room.

While Xu Da was chatting with Ma Xiuying, the housekeeper came in a hurry to report.

Ma Xiuying immediately put down her cup.

Xu Da explained: "Have Huizu and the others come to the living room immediately!"

"Why!"

The butler responded and left.

Xu Da turned around and smiled: "Sister-in-law, Miaoyin and the others will be here soon."

Ma Xiuying looked outside and nodded.

"Abba, Abba..."

Not long after, crazy and joyful shouts came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Xiuying saw two pretty little girls, struggling to carry a bag, their red faces stained with a lot of white stuff that looked like flour.

Who else could it be if it wasn't the third or fourth girl of the Xu family!

"Dad, look what my brother-in-law brought to Lao Taishan..."

When Xu Da heard this, he covered his face and said helplessly: "I made my sister-in-law laugh."

At this time, Xu Miaojin and Xu Miaoxiu also walked to the door carrying a bag of flour.

Seeing Ma Xiuying looking at them with a smile, Dad covered his face again, and the two little girls stood at the door in a daze.

boom!

Miao Xiu's wrist was a little sore and she couldn't hold it firmly. The bag fell from her hand and hit the ground, causing white dust to fly.

Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin, who were following behind, also came.

After Xu Miaoyin saw the living room clearly, she poked her two sisters with a smile, and walked in quickly with Xu Huizu.

"Auntie, daddy."

After greeting each other, Ma Xiuying smiled and wiped the flour from Xu Miaoxiu and Xu Miaojin's faces, pointed to several bags placed on the ground, and asked: "Is there any aunt's share among them?"

Xu Miaojin instantly transformed into a lady and nodded, "Although my brother-in-law didn't say it, there should be, because both flour and rice are double portions."

"It was all in the afternoon. My brother-in-law took my brother and rhubarb to the village to grind and thresh the rhubarb."

Xu Da smiled and glared at Xu Miaojin, who was pretending to be a lady, and ordered: "Huizu, take them down and ask the maid to take them to wash up. Miaoyin stays and tells Aunt You about the situation at your brother-in-law's family."

Ma Xiuying watched the two little girls leave, then turned her head and looked at Xu Miaoyin with a smile, "Girl Miaoyin, tell my aunt how your sister is doing after she is pregnant. Can your brother-in-law take care of her well?"

"Okay! Auntie, my brother-in-law has taken good care of me." Xu Miaoyin couldn't help but think of the scene she saw when she first arrived. "When we arrived at noon, we happened to see my brother-in-law cooking for my sister in the yard."

"I cook in the yard because I'm afraid that the smell of cooking will make my sister uncomfortable and retching."

…

"My sister said personally that during this period, my brother-in-law has been cooking one or two dishes that my sister can eat every day, and at the same time making a new dish. The purpose of making new dishes is to test whether my sister can eat it..."

…

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Fourth brother, let her show her face in front of her brother!

Xu Da also nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is your sister vomiting badly?"

puff!

When this question was mentioned, Xu Miaoyin couldn't help but laugh before she could answer.

Xu Da was not angry, smiled and glared: "Why are you laughing? Dad can't ask this question!"

new

"No...it's not Dad, you...giggle..." Xu Miaoyin tried her best to calm down her smile for a while. Under the even more curious gazes of Ma Xiuying and Xu Da, she held back her laughter and said, "Sister, I have found an effective way to stop vomiting." Method."

…

Ha ha……

When Xu Miaoyin vividly described the process of 'torture' Xu Miaoyun, the three sisters.

Xu Da and Ma Xiuying immediately laughed forward and backward.

…

The Xu Mansion is full of joy.

royal palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang returned from the camp outside the city, it was approaching dinner time, so he went straight to Ma Xiuying's palace.

The dark palace courtyard, the closed palace door...

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the palace courtyard, he was stunned.

He asked the maid on duty outside the palace, "Where is the queen?"

"My servant doesn't know. I only know that the empress left the palace very low-key in the evening."

Eat alone, without us!

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark instantly and the corners of his lips twitched.

He knew that the Xu siblings left the city for Tuqiao Village this morning.

He changed his previous habit of having a meal with the soldiers of the camp and rushed back at the right time. After returning, he went straight here again.

Just like last time, I planned to follow him out of the palace, go to my old brother's house, have a meal, and get another portion!

"Come out of the palace!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around angrily and muttered as he walked back: "It's okay for Xu Da's father-in-law to eat his son-in-law! We are the father eating our son, but we can't eat it? I eat my son, the most justified thing is that I won't be embarrassed!"

…

Zhu Yuanzhang left the palace in anger all the way.

After arriving at Xu Mansion, everyone was strictly ordered to report in advance.

The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion cautiously led Zhu Yuanzhang to the living room.

From a distance, Zhu Yuanzhang heard laughter, and his face looked much better, "We are not late, it seems that they haven't started dinner yet." ’

"Haha..." Then he deliberately laughed heartily and asked with a smile from a distance: "Xu Da, what are you talking about? You are so happy talking."

In the living room, the laughter disappeared instantly.

Siblings Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyin lowered their heads and suppressed laughter. Just now, their aunt and father were still discussing whether His Majesty would come tonight.

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

Ma Xiuying looked outside angrily and funny, and warned: "Next, no one should talk about Miaoyun's pregnancy, just hide it from him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked to the door. When he saw Ma Xiuying, he pretended to be stunned and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Ma Xiuying saw through it at a glance and said angrily: "I've been here for a long time, what are you doing here?"

"Xu Da, I went to inspect the Gyeonggi camp today and found many problems. You must seize the time to rectify them." Zhu Yuanzhang walked in as if he was here to discuss business.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but lower her head and caress her forehead...

Xu Da, who had already stood up, and Xu Huizu's brother and sister, hurriedly saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that Your Majesty is here. Huizu and the others have just returned from Tuqiao Village and brought back flour and flour grown and ground by Shilang himself. Rice.”

"How about we eat noodles tonight?"

"Good noodles with soybean paste!" Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately happy, "When I was conquering the world, after I came back from the victory, your sister-in-law would personally make noodles with soybean paste for us."

"It's just garlic and you have to squat down to eat it. This is the most delicious!"

"Xiuying, if you're a little tired tonight, you and Miaoyin will make us fried noodles together!"

Ma Xiuying smiled angrily and glared, then got up and took Xu Miaoyin to work.

…

After dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Xu Da with him, squatting at the door and feasting with his noodles and a clove of garlic in the hand holding the chopsticks.

On the dining table inside.

Ma Xiuying nodded to Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu took a deep breath, stood up with the bowl and walked towards the door.

door.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were enjoying their meal.

"Father."

There was a voice from behind, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da turned around...

"My brother-in-law is going to take the folks from Tuqiao Village to build a local village community. It's quite exciting. I want to go to Tuqiao Village for a while. Do you agree?"

Xu Da's face was full of doubts. He had agreed to this before!

"Go!" Before Xu Da could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "You are a hereditary royal guard named Baihu by my uncle. This time, my uncle will give you a task."

"After you go, you can study and watch carefully for your uncle."

"We must learn all Zhu Silang's skills in building local village communities!"

"Can it be done?"

Xu Huizu immediately smiled happily and solemnly promised: "Your Majesty, I will definitely learn from my brother-in-law seriously!"

"good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the empty seat next to him, "Squat down and eat. You are going to the countryside soon. My uncle will teach you a lesson now. In the countryside, you must first learn to squat down to eat and learn some of the habits of farmers. Then you can Quickly mingle with the people in the village."

…

inside the house.

At the dinner table, Xu Miaoyin listened attentively, gave Ma Xiuying a thumbs up in admiration, smiled and whispered: "Aunt, you better understand uncle. When I go back to Tuqiao Village, I will be doing things according to orders. No one dares to do so." What did you say!"

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but laugh and whispered: "Your uncle is obsessed with saving face. He attaches great importance to the construction of rural village communities. Now that he can be honest and place your brother in Tuqiao Village, can he let go of this opportunity?"

…

The third day.

In an inn near the Imperial City in Jinling City.

Fourth watch.

Zhou Lang yawned profusely and helped Jiang Jinzhong wash up. "Sir, it's so early. I'm afraid the prince hasn't gotten up yet, right?"

"What do you know!" Jiang Jinzhong said with ecstasy: "On the fifth watch, the prince will go to the morning court. Normally, the prince will be up at the fourth watch."

"My room faces the Hongwu Gate, and I can see hundreds of officials attending court."

"Look carefully for a while and try to imagine how I am walking among these people. In the future, I will be one of them!"

The look of regret in Jiang Jinzhong's eyes flashed away. Poor Zhou Lang was destined to have no chance to see him majestically pass through the Hongwu Gate and go to court. He could only rely on imagination.

"When the time comes for the next court, we will go straight to the East Palace as soon as possible! We must leave a good impression on the prince!"
