The Uproar in Heaven was the most exciting scene in the entire Journey to the West, so it was normal for Zhu Biao to act like this.
Zhu Rong was not in a hurry to urge him. Instead, he looked at his big brother with a slightly pained expression.
The old master was the same. He grabbed an obedient and sensible person and ordered him around desperately. Look at how tired his eldest brother was.
He still remembered how energetic he was when he first met Zhu Biao after transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty half a year ago. Who would have thought that in just half a year, there would be white hair at his temples.
He spent all his time helping Zhu Yuanzhang deal with political affairs. Other than that, he had no time to be happy at all. Life was so boring. No wonder Zhu Biao was so obsessed with Journey to the West!
"Alright, big brother. You take a look first."
With the idea that balancing work and rest was the right way, Zhu Rong sat on the walking bed and waited slowly.
However, as time passed, Zhu Biao still did not raise his head. He held Journey to the West like a treasure and read it with full concentration.
Zhu Rong was getting impatient. He looked up at the sky outside the window. It was already late in the morning. He immediately stood up from his armchair and said,
"Big Brother, it's been an hour. Haven't you finished watching the Uproar in Heaven?”
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Zhu Biao waved his hand, his eyes still staring at the Journey to the West in his hand.
"The Great Sage will be coming out of the Five Elements Mountain soon.”
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly,"
"…Didn't you say that we could just watch Uproar in Heaven?”
Zhu Biao flipped the pages with a clatter. His eyes shifted slightly, and he said without looking up,"
"At first, I thought so, but second brother, your book is too well written. I can't help it. No, no, I have to finish reading it again.”
"Don't be like that. You want to watch it again and again after watching it once. How can I wait?”
Zhu Rong was impatient. Seeing that Zhu Biao still didn't raise his head, he took a step forward and snatched Journey to the West from Zhu Biao's hands.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Zhu Biao immediately became anxious. He stood up from the armchair and tiptoed, stretching his neck to stare at the Journey to the West in Zhu Rong's hand.
"Second brother, don't make a fuss. Quickly return the book to me. The Great Sage is wearing the Golden Hoop Incantation.”
Zhu Rong was speechless again,"
"Please, big brother, this book is mine.”
"I know, I know. I'm just borrowing it to take a look.”
Zhu Biaofei quickly nodded, his eyes still fixed on Journey to the West.
"It's not like I don't want to return the favor. You and I have been brothers for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?”
Seeing this, Zhu Rong hurriedly took the opportunity to say,"
"It's fine to read books, but the key is that you have to help me first.”
"As long as you can help my brother get out of the imperial prison, I don't mind giving this 'Journey to the West' to my brother.”
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.
"Okay, okay, okay. It's a deal, but..."
At this point, Zhu Biao frowned and rubbed his chin.
"Father is probably still angry at the moment, so it won't be effective to plead for you. Let's wait until tomorrow. Once Father's anger passes, I'll immediately go and plead for you.”
Zhu Xiong nodded slightly. He didn't care about one or two days. He said to Zhu Biao,"
"Then it's settled. Take care, big brother. I won't keep you for lunch.”
"Good, good, good."
Zhu Biao smiled and stepped forward, extending his hand toward Zhu Xiong.
"What?"
Zhu Rong said, not understanding.
"Give me Journey to the West!"
Zhu Biao was full of anticipation.
"There's no rush. I'll give it to you when Father lets me out tomorrow.”
Zhu Wei put the Journey to the West into his arms.
When Zhu Biao saw this, his face immediately turned pale and he said anxiously,
"Don't, second brother. Just give it to me now. Would I lie to you?”
Zhu Rong waved his hand and explained,"
"I naturally believe in Big Brother's character. It's just that handing over money and delivering goods is the principle of us businessmen. Even if you and I are blood brothers, we still have to settle accounts, right?”
"Then I won't be able to sleep tonight.”
Zhu Biao looked at his second brother with a bitter face. In fact, he had been staring at Journey to the West in Zhu Rong's arms. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey, second brother, how about this? I won't leave first. Let me read the book for a while.”
"No!"
Zhu Xiong shook his head decisively.
"You're going back and forth again and again. It seems endless. This book is so thick. Who knows when you'll finish reading it?”
Zhu Biao quickly waved his hand and said with a smile,"
"It's fine, it's fine. If it's too late, I'll stay here with you.”
"Ah?"
Zhu Rong was stunned. He turned around and looked at Zhu Biao awkwardly.
"It's not appropriate for the dignified Crown Prince to be imprisoned, right?!”
"Besides, I only have one bed here. It's not enough for the two of us to sleep in at night.”
Zhu Biao rubbed his chin and turned to look at Zhu Xiong's small cell, which was more than 100 square meters. He waved his hand and said,"
"It's okay. If it really doesn't work out, I'll sleep on the floor here tonight. Second brother, you sleep. I won't disturb your rest.”
"…Big Brother, are you serious?"
Zhu Xiong was speechless. Or rather, his impression of Zhu Biao had collapsed.
"Just to read 'Journey to the West', you're willing to disregard your status? He's the Crown Prince, after all. How bad would it be if news of him sleeping on the floor spread?”
Speaking of this, Zhu Rong glanced at the Journey to the West in his arms and thought about how his elder brother had been pleading for him for more than half a year.
In addition, Zhu Biao's health was not good to begin with. If he really slept on the floor and caught a cold, he might even fall sick. He directly took out the Journey to the West and handed it to Zhu Biao.
"Alright, Big Brother, take it back and take a look. If you don't go back tonight, Sister-in-law will be worried about you.”
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. He quickly reached out and took the Journey to the West, but he sat on the armchair and started reading it without raising his head.
"No, no, I'll stay here tonight. If I really go back to the Eastern Palace, there's still a lot of government affairs waiting for me. Your sister-in-law will scold me when I read at night. It was a good place to read books.”
"Hmm?"
Zhu Xiong frowned and sized up Zhu Biao. He felt that something was wrong.
"To abandon government affairs for the sake of reading books, this seems to go against your character!”
"Character setting?"
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and raised his head to look at Zhu Xiong.
"What is this?"
"Uh, it's just an impression."
Zhu Xiong explained casually,"
"After all, all of us brothers have seen what big brother has done all these years. The civil and military officials in the court are the same. Father often praises big brother for being diligent in government affairs and loving the people.”
Zhu Biao's eyes dimmed as he looked at his second brother and sighed.
"Sigh, second brother, you don't know this. There are many things in the world. No matter how diligent you are today, tomorrow's administrative work will still pile up like a mountain.”
"Although you might not understand what I'm saying, I have a deep understanding of it. To be honest, sometimes I really envy you.”
"If possible, I really want you to be the eldest son and I the second.”
At this point, Zhu Biao looked at the Journey to the West in his hand. His eyes lit up again, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a smile.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's continue reading. I've been the Crown Prince for more than ten years anyway. Can't I enjoy myself?”
