"Duke Wei, this is indeed my eighth brother.”
Perhaps seeing the shock of the Xu family, Zhu Di smiled helplessly and reiterated.
It was no wonder that the Xu family was so shocked. It was because Zhu Zhen's situation was really too special. Zhu Zhen looked like he was already five or six years old, and he was changing every day. He was growing faster than the crops in the field.
But in reality, Zhu Zhen was only a little over a month old. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Zhen should still be a baby in swaddling clothes.
Now that he was alive and kicking in front of them, how could they not be shocked? This was ridiculous.
Therefore, the Xu family's current expression was normal. They should indeed be shocked. If it was his first time encountering such a situation, he would also be shocked.
"Oh…"
"This subject greets His Highness the King of Wei."
"Greetings, King of Wei!"
Xu Da, Xu Miaoyun, and Xu Miaoqing only reacted after receiving an affirmative answer from Zhu Di. They hurriedly bowed to Zhu Zhen. Although they were still shocked, they had seen all kinds of storms and waves. Their expressions were still very good.
"Uncle Xu, there's no need to be so polite. We're all family, so there's no need to give such a big bow.”
Zhu Zhen said to Xu Da.
"Uh, okay!"
Xu Da nodded.
However, there was a strange look in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Zhen. It was no wonder. This was the first time he had seen such a freak.
"You are the King of Wei. Shouldn't you be a little brother? Why have you grown so big?”
Compared to Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoqing was just a little girl. The little girl had heard a lot of rumors about Zhu Zhen and knew that the Empress had given birth to a little brother. But now, seeing that Zhu Zhen was even bigger than her, Xu Miaoqing blinked and said.
"Miaoqing, don't be rude."
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyun immediately reprimanded him and looked at Zhu Zhen sternly.
"Your Highness, please don't blame me. This is my second daughter, Xu Miaoqing.”
Xu Da hurriedly said.
"Xu Miaoqing?"
When Zhu Zhen heard this, he silently recited this name in his heart. Xu Da's daughters were famous throughout history. Not only was Xu Miaoyun famous, but her remaining daughters, such as Xu Miaoqing, were also famous. Xu Miaojin and the others were also wonderful people.
Especially Xu Miaojin, she was a character in history that was not inferior to her elder sister, Xu Miaoyun. However, if he calculated the time, Xu Miaojin should not have been born yet.
"It's fine. Hehe, because I eat a lot, I grow fast. If Sister Xu wants to grow up quickly, she has to eat more.”
Zhu Zhen replied with a smile.
"It's true!"
Hearing this, Xu Miaoqing took it seriously and looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise.
Seeing this, Xu Da and the others could not help but laugh. At the same time, they looked at Zhu Zhen and had a good impression of him. This young prince seemed approachable and not difficult to get along with. He looked quite lively and gave people a feeling of closeness.
"Haha…"
Zhu Di also smiled, but his smile was different from Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun's. Zhu Di thought that Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun must have thought that Zhu Zhen was joking with Xu Miaoqing, but he knew that Zhu Zhen was telling the truth. Zhu Zhen's appetite was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
He ate meat for every meal, and he had to eat a cow for every meal. Ever since Zhu Zhen was born, the daily workload of the imperial kitchen had increased greatly. The amount of food that Zhu Zhen ate in one meal was enough for dozens or even hundreds of people.
Therefore, it was true that Zhu Zhen ate meat.
"Did Your Highness accompany the King of Yan to report to my military camp?”
Xu Da looked at Zhu Zhen. He was a little curious about Zhu Zhen, so he wanted to chat with him a little more.
"Yes, I am!"
Zhu Zhen nodded.
"However, I have one more thing to do now.”
"Oh, what is it, Your Highness?"
Hearing this, Xu Da asked in puzzlement.
"I want to complain."
"Sue?"
The moment these words were said, the few of them were surprised and looked at Zhu Zhen one after another.
"Who are you going to sue?"
"Why are you complaining to me?"
Xu Da asked in puzzlement. Zhu Zhen came to his military camp and said that he wanted to complain. Wasn't this strange? This wasn't a yamen, so why would he complain?
"I accompanied my fourth brother to the military camp today, but the horse I was riding was snatched away by someone from your military camp, so I naturally came to complain to you.”
Zhu Zhen replied.
The moment these words came out, the expressions of Xu Da and the others instantly changed.
"Impossible!"
Xu Miaoyun immediately said, indicating that it was impossible.
"Eighth brother, what's wrong? I asked you where your horse went, but you didn't tell me.”
Zhu Di was also stunned as he asked Zhu Zhen. He knew that Zhu Zhen had just obtained a peerless horse, but when he realized that the horse was gone, he didn't say anything when he asked Zhu Zhen. He even said that he wanted to complain to Xu Da.
Zhu Di thought Zhu Zhen was joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Your Highness, is this true? My men stole your horse?”
Xu Da's expression turned solemn as he looked at Zhu Zhen and asked.
"It's not considered robbery!"
Zhu Zhen thought for a moment and replied.
Hearing this, the few of them were even more puzzled and looked at him.
"It's like this…"
Zhu Zhen didn't waste any time and immediately told him everything he had encountered.
"That's why it can't be considered robbery. It's more appropriate to say that he accepted bribes.”
After Zhu Zhen finished speaking, he said in a serious manner.
However, after listening to Zhu Zhen's narration, Xu Da's face had already turned pitch-black. Such a miracle had actually happened in his own military camp, and he had even encountered Zhu Zhen. He even wanted to cheat a child's horse. Xu Da felt that he had lost all his face.
"Preposterous. These people are simply bold and reckless, disregarding military discipline.”
Xu Da slammed the table and stood up as he shouted angrily.
"Father, please calm down. There might be other secrets to this matter.”
Xu Miaoyun said immediately. It wasn't that she didn't trust Zhu Zhen, but she felt that there might be some misunderstanding.
"Yes, yes, yes. Uncle Xu, don't be angry. How about this? My horse must still be in the military camp.”
Zhu Zhen chuckled and said to Xu Da.
Zhu Zhen's goal was very clear. The reason why he gave his horse to the other party was to punish Lan Yu.
To be honest, Lan Yu's ability was very strong, but this person's ambition was too great, and he lacked control. He was easily spoiled and arrogant. Therefore, in order to prevent Blue Jade from walking down the path of history, Zhu Zhen planned to teach this future Great General Blue Jade a lesson from now on.
