"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Father sent Fourth Brother to Uncle Xu's military camp, I'm afraid it's not so simple to let Fourth Brother gain experience.”
At this moment, Zhu Zhen laughed mischievously, looking like a clever little kid.
When Empress Ma heard this, she looked at Zhu Zhen gently.
"Oh, Zhen 'er, what do you understand now?”
Empress Ma was not surprised by Zhu Zhen's words because Zhu Zhen could not be viewed with common sense. This matter had been verified by countless people.
Zhu Zhen was not an ordinary child at all. No matter how one looked at it, Zhu Zhen was abnormally strange. His thoughts were not like a child's. He learned everything very quickly and could be described as a genius.
Therefore, Empress Ma was quite curious to know what Zhu Zhen knew.
"Eighth brother, what do you know?”
Zhu Di was also speechless as he asked Zhu Zhen. Everyone had already seen how strange this freak was. Hearing Zhu Zhen's words, Zhu Di looked at him curiously, not knowing what Zhu Zhen wanted to say.
"Imperial Father sent Fourth Brother to Uncle Xu's military camp. Of course, it was to train Fourth Brother. However, I'm afraid there's another meaning. Father wants Uncle Xu to see if the son-in-law he prepared for him is right. Father wants Fourth Brother to marry Uncle Xu's daughter, right? So, he wants you, the future son-in-law, to perform well in front of your future father-in-law. Fourth Brother, don't embarrass yourself in front of your father-in-law.”
Zhu Zhen said with an evil smile.
In history, Zhu Di and Xu Da were sons-in-law. Zhu Di's wife was Xu Da's eldest daughter, Xu Miaoyun. However, the two of them were not married yet. Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was killing two birds with one stone this time. He let Xu Da teach his son and let Zhu Di be taught by his future father-in-law. He wanted Zhu Di to perform well in front of Xu Da. In this way, Xu Da would not have any objections to his marriage.
"This, how is this possible…"
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard that. He then looked at Empress Ma.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise.
"Zhen 'er, how did you know? Did your Imperial Father tell you?”
Empress Ma was really puzzled. Zhu Yuanzhang had mentioned this matter to her before. He indeed had the intention of letting the Xu family's girl be Zhu Di's wife, so this time, he had thrown Zhu Di into Xu Da's military camp. However, this matter had not been made public. How did Zhu Zhen know?
"Nonsense, your son is a transmigrator!”
Zhu Zhen laughed in his heart. However, it was naturally impossible for him to say that.
"Mother, this is too easy to guess."
"Brother Crown Prince's Crown Princess is the daughter of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, Second Brother's Princess is the younger sister of the most extraordinary man in the world, Wang Baobao, and Third Brother's Princess is the daughter of Marquis Yong Ping Xie Cheng.”
"Since ancient times, emperors have always liked to marry meritorious officials. Li Shimin did the same back then. "So, it's going to be Fourth Brother soon. Among all the meritorious officials, the only one who can match my Fourth Brother, be it in terms of family background or age, seems to be the daughter of the Xu family. Moreover, Imperial Father has thrown Fourth Brother into Uncle Xu's military camp. Isn't that obvious?”
Zhu Zhen chuckled as he explained.
"I really didn't think that your little brain would actually know these things. Mother has really underestimated you.”
Empress Ma smiled and patted Zhu Zhen's head affectionately before looking at Zhu Di.
"Zhu Di, did you hear that? Your brother thought of it, but you didn't. Forget it. Now that you know, you should perform even better. Don't let Xu Da look down on you as his son-in-law and lose face for your Imperial Father.”
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Di and said.
"Yes…"
Zhu Di blushed. He was indeed a little embarrassed that his younger brother had exposed such a thing. He had really not thought about it in that way before.
Now that Zhu Zhen had said it, good heavens, it really was the case.
"Mother, after hearing that Xu Miaoyun is called a female student, her abilities are extraordinary and she is very good-looking. She has managed the Xu residence and Uncle Xu's military camp in an orderly manner. Can you let me follow Fourth Brother to the military camp? I want to see what kind of person this future Fourth Sister-in-law is.”
Zhu Zhen looked at Empress Ma and said to her.
This was his goal. He wanted to go to the military camp.
"This…"
When Empress Ma heard this, she frowned.
"Zhen 'er, if you want to see the daughter of the Xu family, won't it be fine when mother summons her into the palace in the future? Even if you want to see her, you should go to the Xu Manor. Why go to the military camp?”
"Mother, she is a female student and is very busy managing the household affairs of the Xu residence. Moreover, now that Uncle Xu was about to go out to war, she would definitely help him take care of the military camp and would definitely not be in the residence. Of course, he would go to the military camp to see her.”
"Mother, I beg you, let me go with fourth brother. I promise I won't cause any trouble and I'll be back when it's dark, okay?”
Zhu Zhen begged Empress Ma.
" Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother…"
As he spoke, Zhu Zhen did not forget to look at Zhu Di and winked at him, hinting for him to help him.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhen speechlessly. However, he thought that if he brought Zhu Zhen along and met Xu Miaoyun, it would be a buffer.
"Mother, let 8th brother go with me. I'll send him back when it's dark to ensure that there won't be any problems.”
Zhu Di knew that Empress Ma treasured his younger brother very much. However, since Zhu Zhen could see through so much, it was a good thing to bring him along.
"Alright, you little monkey must have been suffocated in the palace. Then you can follow your fourth brother to take a look. However, you can't be naughty. If you are naughty, I will teach you a lesson when I come back.”
Seeing this, Empress Ma finally agreed. However, she still felt uneasy looking at Zhu Zhen, so she still instructed him.
"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely be obedient.”
Zhu Zhen said with a smile when he saw Empress Ma agree.
"You brat, don't cause trouble for me!”
After leaving the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhen and reminded him.
"Alright, don't worry, Fourth Brother. I won't cause you any trouble.”
"Alright, then I'll call for a carriage."
"Don't, fourth brother, what carriage? We can ride a horse, but a carriage is too slow.”
Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Di and asked," Carriage? Zhu Zhen was not willing to ride a horse carriage. They were already in ancient times, and he had never ridden a horse before. His heart was itching.
" That's true. Let's go to the Imperial Horse Bureau…"
Zhu Di nodded and pulled Zhu Zhen towards the Imperial Horse Bureau.
