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

"She will come back when she comes back. What should be ours has been given away by her. How can you be so happy!"

Panting, Mao Xiang returned to the imperial study room again with the good news. In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang poured a basin of cold water over his head and face, completely chilling him.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's dark face, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked out from behind the imperial case. When he passed Mao Xiang, he glanced with disgust.

‘Eating shit can’t keep up with the heat. As our eyes and ears, all our things have been given away, so you came to tell us! ’

"Don't even follow us!"

The palace maids and eunuchs who had to keep up were busy.

It took Mao Xiang a long time to come back to his senses. He turned around and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs standing with their heads bowed. None of them were suitable to be confided in.

What did the emperor's look mean just now?

Was he disliked?

…

When the carriage passed by the open space outside the Imperial Study Room.

The little maid Mingxia quietly lifted the curtain and peeked into the direction of the royal study. After a moment, she turned her head and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, this time the emperor is not looking at the door."

Ma Xiuying curiously poked her head and glanced along the window where Mingxia had raised the curtain.

Then he smiled and said: "You must know that I went to deliver something to Duke Wei. I am angry. Let him gamble. After tonight, the grilled fish brought back by the fourth brother will not be his share."

"This kind of man who likes to be angry will suffer the consequences in the end."

To be a man, you still have to be as thick-skinned as the fourth child.

Ma Xiuying thought of the scene where she went to talk to the young couple last night and saw Zhu Di entering the door carrying foot washing water, and a smile appeared on her lips.

The carriage traveled all the way to the palace courtyard.

Ma Xiuying looked at the dark palace and was secretly surprised, "This small-minded man has such a strong backbone." ’

In fact, I didn't see Chongba looking around in the imperial study room.

She guessed that Chongba had come to her place in advance.

I didn’t expect that I would be so strong-willed this time.

Ma Xiuying smiled and greeted the palace maids and eunuchs who came to help, "Handle them with care. Some eggs, dried mushrooms and the like are fragile."

After a while, he led a group of people, carrying large and small bags, and large and small boxes, and walked into the hall.

Soon, the outer hall lit up.

Ma Xiuying waved her hand and dismissed the others, leaving only the maid Mingxia behind, and then sat down on the couch.

Lightly tap on shoulders, knees.

The little maid Mingxia poured a cup of tea for Ma Xiuying quickly. She looked at the pile of things on the ground and asked, "Empress, do you want to leave some of these things for the Crown Prince, Prince Qin, and Prince Jin..."

"dare!"

Mingxia's words were interrupted by a sudden sound from the dark inner hall. ♗

puff!

Ma Xiuying was drinking tea. When she heard this familiar voice, tea spurted out of her mouth.

Mingxia also tried her best to hold back her laughter and hurriedly helped Ma Xiuying wipe the water stains on her body.

Ma Xiuying looked at the door of the inner hall with a half-smile.

She thought this petty man had a particularly strong backbone this time.

After Mingxia wiped off the water stains on Ma Xiuying, she looked at the inner hall where there was no movement at all. She suppressed a smile and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want me to invite the emperor?"

Ma Xiuying smiled and shook her head.

This man hid in the dark inner hall and never came out.

It was obvious that he was holding it forcefully for fear of losing face.

After smiling and waving Mingxia out.

Ma Xiuying sat on the soft couch and waited.

It took a while.

Ma Xiuying was a little impatient and said with an angry smile: "You can't come out! If you don't come out and see the light of day, I will order someone to send you to the imperial kitchen."

There was a noise in the inner sanctum.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the dark inner hall door with a dark face.

As soon as he came out, he asked with all his face: "Are we still the head of the family? If you give something to someone, do you have to go through us, the head of the family, first... Well, take a step back, and at least deal with us, the head of the family. Say hello!"

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the piles of things on the floor and table.

Ma Xiuying took this scene in her eyes, suppressed a smile and said: "Those things do not belong to you in the first place. They are the fourth child's filial piety to his father-in-law."

"I just dropped by."

"Then he is still our son. We can always take a look when he gives things to others! Does he have a bowl of water? No, it should be better for his parents than for his father-in-law..."

Snapped!

Ma Xiuying slammed the table, and Zhu Yuanzhang's "arrogant and domineering" arrogance instantly subsided.

Ma Xiuying sneered: "You have expelled the fourth child from the family tree. From the perspective of etiquette, the fourth child is really not your son anymore."

Thinking of the speculation that she didn't dare to ask the fourth child, she couldn't control her anger!

"I heard that you have become more capable this time, and you even threatened the village women in Tuqiao Village that if we make you angry, you will run away from home and join the Fourth Brother?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately moved to a battlefield where he did not have an advantage.

With that said, he sat down next to Ma Xiuying.

He reached out and grabbed Ma Xiuying's hand.

Ma Xiuying's lips twitched, her face darkened and she didn't even look. She twitched her hand but didn't break free.

"You are the empress of the motherland, setting an example for all women in the world." Zhu Yuanzhang softened his tone and said sincerely: "You can't do such a rash thing..."

He would never let this happen.

In case Xiuying gets angry, she really packs her things and goes to live with the fourth child for a long time.

What should he do?

To say that this first wife is not as obedient to him as the other women in the harem.

Always show him face and temper.

But he just can't leave.

How strange!

Moreover, he would lose face if such a thing came true.

Seeing that Ma Xiuying didn't even look at him and was unmoved, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to go, I allow you to stay there for a certain period of time every year!"

Ma Xiuying turned around and asked with a sneer: "Seriously?"

"What's so good about rural areas? It's not like we've never lived in rural areas." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered with a dark face and nodded.

Ma Xiuying smiled and said: "There are many benefits. The folks in the village are very straightforward. They will treat you well if they are good to you. You don't need to guess what people's hearts are. Life is easy. Unlike in Jinling City, everyone has a mask……"

…

"I live with my fourth son and Miaoyun every day, enjoying their filial piety as a young couple. When they are busy, I cook them a meal. During the meal, the family talks and laughs..."

"When they have children, it will be even more exciting."

…

Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually darkened and he glared at Ma Xiuying, 'You did it on purpose? Knowing that we have no face to go, you deliberately make extravagant remarks! ’

…

Ma Xiuying had no intention of ending at all, and continued: "In the village, I slept very soundly. My son was afraid that I would sleep at night. The room was cold and damp, so he would add enough firewood to the stove behind the house every night... …”

"When I have a grandchild, I will take the grandchild with me..."

Snapped!

"Xiuying, that's enough!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the case to stop him.

These are all things he, the emperor, cannot get!

Isn't this just a stab at his heart?

Ma Xiuying stood up with a proud smile, squatted in front of a pile of things on the ground, and began to sort them out.

"We won't argue with you anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to get closer. Although he also lost on the newly opened battlefield, he had strong adaptability.

"This big radish is good. I heard that cold radish can relieve fatigue."

"Hey, these mushrooms are also good. They smell very fragrant. I heard that chicken stewed with mushrooms is very fragrant."

"What's in this little bag? Lotus seeds. We heard that the soup made from millet, lotus seeds and lotus root is particularly delicious."

…

Ma Xiuying listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's crazy hints and had a hard time holding back her laughter.

What this face-conscious man said was not what Shiro did for her!

Ma Xiuying smiled, glared fiercely, and raised the food box next to her in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, "Take a look for yourself."

hey-hey……

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled with satisfaction.

I rubbed my hands and opened the food box...

The smile disappeared from his face.

Turning his head darkly, "Why are there only two grilled fish? Where's the chicken stewed with mushrooms? Where's the cold radish? Where's the millet, lotus seeds, and lotus root soup?"

No one can understand how he, the emperor, feels at this moment!

I feel so happy that I have it all.

Open the food box, but there are only two grilled fish?

Why should that bastard be treated differently!

Xiuying can eat four dishes.

Together, he only deserves to eat two grilled fish?

"Who told you not to go?" Ma Xiuying said with a smile but not a smile: "The fourth child only brought me five grilled fish..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately interrupted Ma Xiuying, twitching his lips and pointing to the two grilled fish in the food box, "You brought five back? Why are there only two left when you get here?"

"Did the fourth child arrange it to give three to my father-in-law and two to my father?"

"Is it okay for him to do this? Is it appropriate? Is this what you should do as a son of a man? We have worked hard to raise him like this, but in the end, he is worse than his father-in-law?"

"We have the same number of injuries as Xu Da, but the damage we received is not so big or so deep! Does that bastard deliberately want to make us angry to death?"

Ma Xiuying could tell that Zhu Yuanzhang was really aggrieved this time, and he glared angrily and funnyly, "Fourth spent a long time grinding flour and rice this morning."

"Then he is busy fishing. How much to catch? Is it up to him to decide?"

"There are five items in total. They are all brought back to us. I'm going to deliver something to Xu Da. I can't give Xu Da two items. Let's keep three items for ourselves. Are you sorry?"

"Also, we asked Xu Da to take the blame for us. Now that he is taking the lead, it will be hard for him to say anything when things are exposed in the future."

Xu Da: Sister-in-law...

hey-hey……

"That way, we won't feel so uncomfortable." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and gave a thumbs up, "You are still good at running a household. This is the right thing to do. Xu Da eats a lot now, so he must bear the responsibility. The obligation to take the blame!”

"Let's heat up these two fishes today, and also make us a bowl of fried noodles made with freshly ground flour."

"We agreed that this time, we are not allowed to share the things with others. They really like these things and they are easier to get than us!"

Ma Xiuying glared angrily.

After dinner.

rest.

On the bed.

Ma Xiuying talked about teaching children.

"What!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, turned around and said angrily with a dark face: "We asked you to observe these children, but we didn't ask you to teach them!"

"Don't you know who you are? And what teaching means, don't you understand?"

"Then do you know why I give lectures to children on an impromptu basis?" Ma Xiuying asked angrily.

In my mind, I couldn't help but think of the early morning scene in Tuqiao Village.

She is standing in front of the window

Watching a group of children emerge from the white morning mist in winter.

Vibrant, high-spirited, prosperous, the grass grows and the orioles fly.

It’s like carrying the sun and moon on your shoulders and a rainbow on your head, confident but not inferior, flamboyant but not arrogant...

As I watched, this scene disappeared again into the white morning mist.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned as he listened to Ma Xiuying's description.

Ma Xiuying glanced at it and said, "At that time, I felt that such a scene was illusory and absurd. It seemed that it did not belong to our Ming Dynasty and should not appear in such a small village. It seemed that it might disappear at any time."

"No matter what these children do in the future, I think Ming Dynasty needs such children. The more such children, the better for Ming Dynasty."

…

In her heart, this is a fragile seed.

It is a seed that may breed good things.

She just taught a lesson and gave the seed a layer of protection.

Perhaps this small move will bring unexpected results to Ming Dynasty when this seed blossoms and bears fruit?

It's like a rocky mountain with no grass growing on it.

One day, a little green suddenly appeared in the crack of the stone, and then the young leaves grew and a small white flower bloomed.

Although fragile, the stone mountain without any grass has become different because of this little white flower.

What if this little flower could bear fruit, multiply its seeds, and grow countless little white flowers from the cracks in countless stones?

Flowers attract butterflies and bees.

…

"I was just touched that morning to give our Ming Dynasty an opportunity to plant a seed that could give birth to beautiful things."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking.

Lying down again, lost in thought...

…

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It is advisable to go out.

School is also officially on holiday.

Zhu Di got up early in the morning to prepare. He was going to take Miaoyun out!
