"No wonder Father didn't want me to acknowledge him here. Is he still my Father? Is this still my mother? Is he still my big brother?"
Zhu Di felt that his mind was filled with paste and completely gave up thinking.
"And you are?"
At this moment, Zhang Che looked at Zhu Di and asked, puzzled.
Zhu Di's body trembled. Before Empress Ma could speak, he quickly introduced himself.
"I, I am auntie's nephew. I heard that auntie was recuperating here, so I followed uncle and cousin to visit.”
After saying that, Zhu Di looked at Empress Ma guiltily.
Mother, your son didn't mean to lie, it was my father who taught me to do this!
Zhang Che sized up Zhu Di, feeling a little strange.
Why did he suddenly have a cousin?
However, he did not probe further.
He did not have the original owner's memories at all. On such matters, it was more wrong to say more. It was better not to ask.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Di with a faint smile.
"Di 'er, don't just stand there. Let's sit together.”
Instantly, Zhu Di was at a loss.
She thought of her father and brother who were cooking in the kitchen.
Isn't it a little inappropriate for me to sit here?
Zhang Che didn't care about what he was thinking. Instead, he got up and went into the house, bringing out another recliner.
Zhu Di looked at the strangely shaped chair and was very curious.
The chairs he usually used were all stable and upright.
The chair was long and wide, and its legs were curved.
Lying on top of it, it swayed and looked very indecent.
Zhu Di felt a little awkward.
He was a prince, so he had strict etiquette when he walked, sat, and slept.
He didn't know whether to sit or lie down on this chair, making it very difficult for him.
After some thought, Zhu Di sat down.
However, his butt was pressed against the side of the chair, which pushed down the side of the recliner, causing his center of gravity to be unstable.
An ordinary person would have fallen long ago in this state.
However, Zhu Di had practiced martial arts since he was young. His years of horse stance finally came in handy at this moment. He sat steadily.
Zhang Che, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.
This cousin was a talent!
Empress Ma couldn't help but laugh.
"We're all family. Don't be so particular about those things. Just lie down peacefully.”
After saying that, she introduced him to Zhu Di," This is my son, Zhang Che, your cousin. You brothers must support each other in the future.”
When his mother spoke, Zhu Di, who had originally wanted to follow her advice and lie down, suddenly staggered when he heard this. He almost fell off his chair.
What? Did I have another brother?
Early this morning, Zhang Che was pulled over by Empress Ma for a chat.
Now that Zhu Di had joined in, Zhang Che didn't neglect him.
"What does cousin do? I've never heard father and big brother mention you before.”he asked casually.
It was originally a very simple question, but it made Zhu Di fall into deep thought.
Now, he finally figured it out.
He didn't know how his father and mother recognized this son. They didn't know their identities at all.
He cursed in his heart.
So what if you didn't mention me? You still have more than 20 'cousins' like me.
What could he do? His biological father asked him to cooperate with him, but he turned a blind eye?
Wouldn't that be courting death?
However, Zhang Che's question was too difficult.
How should he put it?
Zhu Di was anxious.
Father, why didn't you make arrangements for me?
Zhang Che was obviously trying to use this question to start a conversation. If he were to randomly make up an identity, wouldn't he be exposed if he couldn't answer the question?
He peeked at Empress Ma, but Empress Ma ignored him. Clearly, she was letting him do what he wanted.
After thinking about it, Zhu Di suddenly had an idea.
"I'm leading troops to war." Zhu Di replied.
Zhang Che immediately perked up.
"So cousin is also in the army. I wonder how many soldiers you have under you?”he asked curiously.
"Not many, just a few tens of thousands."
Zhu Di heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was prepared.
Tens of thousands of soldiers were indeed not a lot in Zhu Di's eyes. Generals of his level were barely qualified to see him.
He turned to look at Empress Ma and saw her nod approvingly.
Hence, Zhu Di was completely relieved.
Zhang Che also saw Empress Ma nod, thinking she was agreeing with Zhu Di.
With tens of thousands of soldiers, he was a general.
He didn't expect that there was someone like his cousin in his family!
His father had been in the army for more than ten years, but he was only a thousand households now.
Big brother was even more unpresentable, he was only a hundred households.
In Zhang Che's plan, the higher the starting point, the better if he wanted to rely on the King of Yan and gain the merit of following the dragon.
With his cousin around, wouldn't his life of a salted fish be able to be completed in one step?
Zhang Che was very happy.
"I heard that the world is still a little unstable. Since cousin can bring so many soldiers, your ability to lead troops to war must be extraordinary, right?”Zhang Che continued asking.
After all, this was not the time when the country was founded. Generals who led tens of thousands of troops might not be brave and good at fighting.
He had to figure out his cousin's ability first before he could formulate a countermeasure.
Zhang Che's question had scratched Zhu Di's itch.
I don't know anything else, but marching and fighting is my old profession!
Fortunately, he had been more careful just now. Otherwise, he really could not continue this conversation.
