"Grandma!" As soon as he entered the palace, Zhu Xiongying jumped off his horse and ran towards Queen Ma, "Grandma, my grandson is back."

Queen Ma smiled happily. She watched her taller grandson kneel down and quickly helped her up. "Xiongying has grown taller, but he is not as fair as before. I am also tired from this trip back to my hometown. I am patrolling everywhere."

It’s not easy either.”

"I feel that I have learned a lot by going out, and it is not bitter at all." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "If I didn't miss my grandmother and mother, I wouldn't want to come back."

Empress Ma happily held Zhu Xiongying's hand and said, "You first go to the Fengxian Hall to pay homage to your ancestors. Even though you have just come back, you should go and just talk to them. Forget it about your grandfather and your father.

I’m in a hurry to do the hard work.”

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "It shouldn't be like this. Grandpa has made the rules. You must go to see grandpa first..."

"His ancestral injunction records that vassal kings came to the capital, and you are not one of them." Empress Ma said with a smile, "Come on, your grandfather and your father are probably at Fengxian Hall, so you can go there. I am.

Look at you, go back to the palace first, come here after you have done your worship."

Mrs. Chang couldn't say anything at this time, so she could only follow Empress Ma to leave. However, she also felt happy and relieved to see her eldest son in full swing now.

Zhu Xiongying remembered something and said to Mrs. Chang, "Mom, take Yunxi and Qingning, and Qinghui also bring them there. I just came back, I guess I am not in a hurry to return to Chunhe Palace, let Yunwen go to Kunning Palace too

One trip."

Mrs. Chang smiled and said, "I know, they are all waiting for you in the palace."

Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Qingning, and Qinghui were naturally in Kunning Palace. They were Zhu Xiongying's younger brothers and sisters, but Zhu Yunwen was not there. However, when Zhu Xiongying mentioned these things, he asked Zhu Yunwen to come over quickly.

Zhu Xiongying went straight to Fengxian Hall. The guards and eunuchs guarding the entrance of the hall did not dare to stop Zhu Xiongying, and there was no need to report. Zhu Xiongying stepped directly into Fengxian Hall.

Seeing Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying knelt down directly and said, "Sun Chen Zhu Xiongying, pay homage to His Majesty the Grandfather."

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile and nodded with satisfaction, "We haven't seen you for half a year. My grandson has grown up."

After Lao Zhu asked Zhu Xiongying to get up, Zhu Xiongying got up and knelt down again, "My son, Zhu Xiongying, pays homage to His Royal Highness, Father."

Zhu Biao laughed and praised, "Fortunately, I haven't forgotten the rules in half a year since I returned."

This is really the rule set by Lao Zhu. When the clan meets the emperor and the empress, Lao Zhu even stipulates their titles. According to Zhu Xiongying's identity, the official title is that he can only address the emperor as his grandfather and his majesty, and the empress.

Your Royal Highness, Grandmother Queen.

Zhu Xiongying stood up again and went to get the incense naturally, "I went back to my hometown this time, and everyone in the family looked at me. When I came back, I told my cousin that I asked my Jiujiang cousin to go back to Xuyi.

Go and pay homage to my great-grandfather for me."

Lao Zhu didn't have much impression of his grandfather, but he also knew that these things should be done, "If it's done, let him rest for a few days and then he will be gone."

Zhu Xiongying was putting incense on the memorial tablets one by one, and said naturally, "I want my cousin from Jiujiang to repair my great-aunt's mausoleum for me."

Lao Zhu didn't say anything, just snorted coldly. But he didn't object. Although he had strong opinions on his eldest sister, if his grandson was filial, Lao Zhu wouldn't stop him.

Zhu Biao said at this time, "When you come back these days, don't be idle. Go visit those uncles and aunts. Some people from the Wuxun family are coming over, and you also want to meet them. I was talking about looking for them before.

It’s an auspicious day and it’s time to canonize you.”

Zhu Xiongying asked naturally, "Why don't you wait until my birthday has passed before you canonize me?"

"Your grandmother can't wait any longer. If she doesn't confer you a title, she will make trouble with me." Old Zhu said cheerfully, as if helpless, "Your imperial uncles will definitely not be happy if they find out, and several of them are ten years old.

I’m not in a hurry to canonize him.”

This is also Lao Zhu. Don't look at the ancestral injunctions that stipulate that all clans can be canonized at the age of ten, but many people do not canonize him immediately when they reach the age of ten. As for Zhu Xiongying, he can't wait to canonize him.

Zhu Xiongying remembered something and asked, "How does the catgut I made look like now?"

Lao Zhu immediately said happily, "It's easy to use. Many large incisions can be sewn up. Although not all of them can be saved, a lot of them can be saved."

Zhu Xiongying is also very happy and satisfied with this statement. He knows that with the current medical level, it is indeed impossible to save everyone. But as long as more people can be saved, that's fine.

After paying homage to Fengxian Hall, Lao Zhu took Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying towards Kunning Palace.

When I saw Zhu Xiongying, his younger brother and sister looked a little strange and reserved. This was also because they hadn't seen each other for half a year. But there was not much relationship. All the children were very familiar with this brother. A few words

Then we became familiar with it.

"I didn't bind your sister's feet." Seeing Zhu Xiongying glance at Zhu Qingning and Zhu Qinghui's feet inadvertently, Empress Ma said with a smile, "Who doesn't know what you mean? What if I really bound their feet while you were not at home?

, why don’t you cause trouble when you come back?”

Zhu Xiongying laughed and said to Queen Ma, "Grandma, that's not what my grandson meant. I just want to see if they have grown taller! My grandson has grown a lot after being out for half a year, and he can't even put on many of the clothes he brought with him.

”

Seeing the large table full, Zhu Xiongying was very happy, "When I saw that this roast chicken was made by my grandmother!"

Empress Ma smiled happily and asked quickly, "Can you still see this?"

"Why can't you see it?" Zhu Xiongying said matter-of-factly, "My grandma likes to chop off the head of the roasted chicken she makes. Besides, it's a heavy color. We all have a heavy taste. You can tell at a glance.

When I was in Fengyang, I was thinking about the dishes cooked by my grandmother. It would be better if my sister-in-law went there because she could cook a few dishes like my grandmother’s."

Queen Ma quickly grabbed Zhu Xiongying and said, "We are all members of our own family, so don't be polite. You can eat whatever you want."

Zhu Xiongying lost his humility and sat down directly, "You're welcome then. If it's an ordinary chicken leg, I'll share it with you. It won't happen today. Both chicken legs are mine. Make me some mutton soup and I'll have to eat it."

The catfish soup my mother made will be done."

Mrs. Chang also said quickly, "The catfish soup has been made and will be served shortly."

Lao Zhu didn't think it was delicious, he just smiled and watched his grandson enjoying the meal, helping to pick up the food from time to time. In fact, several elders were the same, even if Zhu Xiongying kept eating, the bowl was not empty.

.

As for Zhu Xiongying's younger brothers and sisters, they can only be envious. Not to mention Zhu Yunwen, even Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to say anything. He just sat quietly aside. They rarely had the opportunity to eat with the imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother.

.

"Where are the sesame cakes!" Zhu Xiongying took a sip of mutton soup and burped, "It's almost too much meat, so I need to eat some staple food."

Lao Zhu was very happy. He looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "My grandson has always had a good appetite. It is a blessing to be able to eat well!"

Zhu Xiongying said naturally, "Grandpa, it's impossible for me to eat like this. Ordinary people can't afford it. I took a look and found that most people eat two meals a day. Nowadays, when there is a shortage of food, most of them are sparse."

Lao Zhu was not surprised. Don't say that the new grains have not been harvested or planted. Of course, we can't expect the people to have enough to eat. There are two meals a day, most of which are porridge and so on.

Same, this is pretty good.

Zhu Biao said at this time, "Xiongying, it is a good thing for you to cherish your people. But don't be harsh on yourself. You are from a royal family, so you don't have to think that everything should be the same as the common people. As long as you are not extravagant and lustful, that's fine.

You are the eldest grandson of the emperor, and that is what you should do to ensure that the people have enough to eat. You do not have to eat too much along with them."

Zhu Xiongying nodded quickly and said, "Dad, I know this principle. Those who work hard will govern others, and those who work hard will govern others..."

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Zhu Biao coughed quickly. Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, and then he ate the sesame cakes in embarrassment. Although he couldn't eat anymore, he still wanted to eat at this time.

Mrs. Chang glanced at Lao Zhu carefully and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others." This is from "Mencius". Emperor Hongwu's opinion of Yasheng Mencius was not ordinary.

Empress Ma found it funny, looked at Lao Zhu and said, "Look, after you become an emperor, your children and grandchildren must be careful when talking to you!"
