When Zhu Zhanji came back, he saw Sun Ruowei wolfing down the snacks. She even choked when she saw him!
"Cough cough!"
"Cough cough!"
Sun Ruowei slapped her chest, her big eyes filled with anger as she glared at Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji poured her a cup of tea.”
Sun Ruowei finished her tea and complained,"Where did you go? I'm starving, and no one cares about me!”
That's because I didn't eat in Zhao Prison. You can't blame me!
Besides, my mother is thrifty. How can I have food if I don't have time?
Zhu Zhanji thought for a moment and said,"Just now, Imperial Grandfather asked me to bring you to the garden tonight. When we get there, you can eat whatever you want."”
Sun Ruowei didn't speak and just sat there in a daze.
"Don't you miss your sister?" Zhu Zhanji asked.”
Sun Ruowei glanced at Zhu Zhanji and snorted in her heart. This fiend only knows how to use her sister to threaten me. Was the person I just saw her?
It felt so familiar!
And very friendly!
"Do you know the female official who sent the snacks just now?" Sun Ruowei asked hesitantly.”
Female officials?
"You're talking about Hu Shangyi, right?" Zhu Zhanji guessed."Except for the noble ladies of the royal family, all the other women in the palace are under her control."”
"Do you know that she has a palace maid by her side?" Sun Ruowei asked carefully. The one who is very polite and beautiful!"
Zhu Zhanji was surprised. This pair of sisters were really fated. However, he couldn't tell her the truth. What if she lost her temper and didn't go to the garden? The time was almost up, and he didn't have the time to coax her. He smiled and said,"If you want to know, just ask her. Hu Shangyi is the one who arranged all the activities in the garden tonight.”
"Is that so?"
Sun Ruowei wasn't sure if that person was her sister, but she didn't dare to ask. If she confirmed it, it was the survivor of Jingnan.
Zhu Zhanji saw that she was not in high spirits and said,""Tonight, I'll let you see your sister as you wish…When grandpa sees Jianwen and has his mind settled, your identities will gradually be forgotten by the world. When I become the emperor, you can boldly tell the world that you're a descendant of Jianwen. I think when people hear that, they'll just say 'oh' and do their own thing.”
Sun Ruowei looked forward to that scene and laughed."Will I?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said," If you have the chance, you should persuade Xu Bin to stay and be an official. Isn't it because he wants to wander the world? I can recommend him to be the deputy commander of the Treasure Fleet and follow the Treasure Fleet to the West. Let him see how big the world is."”
Speaking of Xu Bin, Sun Ruowei thought of another good friend, Nie Xing. She said angrily,""Isn't it enough for you to kill Nie Xing? You want to kill Brother Xu Bin?”
"Remember, you can only call him Xu Bin in the future. You can't call him by his brother's nickname."”
"Why should I listen to you? I haven't promised to marry you yet." Sun Ruowei frowned.”
After saying that, Sun Ruowei snorted and looked at Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji said," Now that Grandfather knows, it's not up to us. The Imperial Consort will have to be chosen eventually. My Grandfather, Father, and Mother all think that I like you. I can't be bothered to explain myself. It's not important who I marry. It won't be too awkward to marry someone I know.”
"Don't forget that I'm the orphan of Jingnan," Sun Ruowei said sullenly."I'm not worthy of you, the imperial grandson."”
Zhu Zhanji shrugged and said,""In my eyes, the descendants of Jingnan are loyal officials. We just have different standpoints. Compared to those who changed families, you are admirable. I heard my father mention something. At that time, Emperor Jianwen personally selected the top scorer, the second scorer, and the third scorer. When the three of them met, Emperor Jianwen thought that the top scorer was too ugly, so he was removed from the top scorer position. The second scorer was lucky enough to become the new top scorer. When my grandfather led the army to attack Yingtian, the three ministers gathered together and discussed. In the end, they all said that they would commit suicide and follow Emperor Jianwen. Guess what?"
Sun Ruowei was listening attentively and subconsciously said,"Did they all commit suicide?"
Zhu Zhanji said playfully," Only the scholar who was removed from the top scholar position by Emperor Jianwen went home to commit suicide. The other two went to worship the new emperor the next day!"”
Sun Ruowei spat and said disdainfully,""What a scholar!"
Zhu Zhanji said playfully," There's more to come. These two scholars are deeply loved and valued by the Imperial Grandfather. One day, when he was in court, the Imperial Grandfather took out many memorials from the Jianwen period officials and played his illegal memorials. He joked that you guys had a share in these memorials, right? The other officials all knelt down and apologized. Only that Tanhua proudly said that he had never written such a memorial. Guess what the Imperial Grandfather did to him?”
"Shameless!" Sun Ruowei snorted. Your grandfather must be overjoyed. Give him a big promotion!”
Zhu Zhanji laughed lightly." This is a smart person. His intelligence has indeed been rewarded, but it was in a way that he never expected. Shamelessness also has a price to pay. Imperial Grandfather scolded him for being in a critical moment, but as Jianwen's personal attendant, he didn't know how to advise him. He imprisoned him and died in prison!”
Sun Ruowei heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhu Zhanji looked straight into her eyes and said," I'm telling you this because I want you to understand that Jianwen's failure isn't entirely due to our efforts. As the Emperor, I have been working hard to expand the territory of Ming. The people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. Although it's a bit exaggerated to say that it's a prosperous era and that all countries pay tribute, it's still a wise ruler. Let go of the hatred in your heart. This might be Jianwen's thoughts.”
"Are you afraid that I'll assassinate the emperor when I visit the garden?" Sun Ruowei said proudly.”
"Do you think the Emperor is that easy to kill?" Zhu Zhanji smiled. I was afraid that you would wake up in the middle of the night and kill me when we were sleeping together…"
"You!"
"I'll kill you now!"
Sun Ruowei was both embarrassed and angry. She waved her fists and chased after Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji hid around the table with her, but in the end, she caught up to him on purpose, and Sun Ruowei hit him a few times to vent his anger.
