Inside the library.
Wang Gen brought a teapot full of water and placed it respectfully on the desk.
Having come to his senses, he now respected Zhu Bai even more.
The contempt he had for Zhu Bai's youth before was also gone.
He knew that he and his colleagues from the Imperial Academy would lose their lives.
They were all saved by Zhu Bai.
If Zhu Bai hadn't come today, they might have immediately written a joint memorial to dismiss him from office in grief and indignation.
Immediately send it to the palace.
At that time, Song Lian and Liu Bowen would not be able to save the situation.
Zhu Bai asked without raising his head.
"Is Song shi here?"
Wang Gen, who was about to leave, immediately replied.
"He came with Imperial Censorate Lord Liu.
Just now, he even asked about what happened in the courtyard.”
When Zhu Bai heard that Liu Bowen was also there, he was no longer worried about Song Lian.
He believed that with Liu Bowen's ability, he would definitely be able to settle this matter as soon as possible.
"Yes, I know."
After saying that, he continued to read the book in his hand.
Coincidentally, it mentioned Wei Zheng, an official who liked to remonstrate.
Just like that, the sky gradually darkened.
Zhu Bai closed the last book and walked out of the library with his hands behind his back.
He walked towards Cining Palace.
Passing by the imperial garden, Zhu Bai saw a familiar figure.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Zhu Bai simply went forward to greet him.
"Greetings, Imperial Father."
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head. It was Zhu Bai.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Come and sit, Bai 'er."
Hearing this, Zhu Bai immediately sat beside him.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Who taught you to say those words in the Imperial Academy today?
Is it the Crown Prince?"
"Father, no one taught me.
It was Bai 'er's own idea.
Bai 'er did not want to go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow without anyone she knew.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.
He did not expect that those words were actually written by Zhu Bai.
When the Embroidered Uniform Guards reported to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that it was Zhu Biao or Empress Ma who used Zhu Bai's mouth to persuade the Hanlin Academy.
"It's you?
I heard that you and Chen Huaiyi will discuss knowledge.
Their relationship seems to be quite good."
Zhu Bai said seriously.
"Distinguish public and private matters.
Chen Huaiyi was a great scholar, and his knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people.
However, he was also a bookworm. He should not have said those drunken words on Fourth Brother's wedding day!
Even if it was another time, Imperial Father wouldn't be so angry and want to kill him.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with joy.
He did not expect that his eight-year-old son would be able to kill him.
He actually hit the nail on the head.
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze softened.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky and said slowly.
"Yeah, he's a nerd.
However, what this bookworm said was true.
I can't refute it at all.
He was not the only one. Many ministers in the court had the same thoughts.
During the day, they were all watching from the side outside the Martial Meritocrats Hall.
If Chen Huaiyi doesn't die, there will be a mountain of memorials from the ministers tomorrow, wanting to take away your position as the vassal king!
I'll kill this bookworm to intimidate the ministers.”
Zhu Yuanzhang had no one to say such words to.
In Zhu Bai's heart, he actually felt pity for Chen Huaiyi's death.
However, he knew very well.
Humans would die.
Civil and military officials and dignitaries are only prominent for a while.
In the next moment, he might fall from the clouds.
The higher one stood, the worse the fall.
He, the prince, was no exception.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued.
"This bookworm is dead, but you must remember his words.
Bai 'er, from today onwards, you are also a vassal king.
I can see that although you're young, you're much smarter than your fifth brother.”
The conversation at the Hanlin Academy today.
It allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to raise Zhu Bai to the same status as Zhu Di and the other princes.
He no longer treated Zhu Bai like a child.
"Father, I understand."
Zhu Bai cupped his hands and said.
"Alright, Imperial Father, sit for a while longer.
Go back to sleep."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
He was not a bloodthirsty person, so Chen Huaiyi could do nothing about it.
This bookworm's words made Zhu Yuanzhang toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
That was why he was sitting in the imperial garden.
"Imperial Father, your son will take his leave!"
Zhu Bai didn't say much and left very straightforwardly.
……
Back at Cining Palace.
Zhu Bai lay on the bed, thinking about today's events.
Was Zhu Yuanzhang wrong?
Was Chen Huaiyi wrong?
In the end, he came to the conclusion that neither of them was wrong.
It was just that their considerations were different.
In the imperial court, there was no such thing as black and white.
Just as Zhu Bai was about to fall asleep in a daze.
"Buzz, buzz."
The door opened.
Zhu Bai immediately woke up.
He looked up and saw that it was the groom, Zhu Di.
he said helplessly.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing here on our wedding day?”
The other party closed the door and paced around the room.
"Twelfth Brother, Fourth Brother really didn't expect this!
She was not a maid, but the eldest daughter of the Xu family!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhu Bai laughed.
He could almost imagine it.
Zhu Di lifted Xu Miaoyun's veil and recognized her.
The awkwardness of the scene!
Zhu Di was also anxious when he saw this.
"Twelfth Brother, speak!
You were at the Xu Manor at that time. Did you notice it?”
Zhu Bai said with a smile.
"Fourth Brother, you didn't look at it seriously at that time.
How could a maid be more powerful than a butler?
Looking at her temperament, everyone knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Xu family.”
Hearing this, Zhu Di's face was filled with anger.
"Twelfth brother, you've really screwed me up.
I bragged so much back then.
How can I face her now!"
Especially the strange smile on Xu Miaoyun's face.
It made Zhu Di feel uneasy.
This was the first time he experienced the feeling of death.
"Haha!"
Zhu Bai laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
Zhu Di, who was standing, saw this scene and felt extremely unbalanced.
"No, I'll sleep at your place tonight.
I don't have the face to go and see her!"
Zhu Di had a strong sense of self-esteem. He felt that Xu Miaoyun had been laughing at him for the entire day.
Zhu Bai only stopped laughing when he saw that the other party was really coming over to snatch the blanket from him.
"Don't, Fourth Brother.
You can't do this. How can you leave the bride alone on your wedding night?”
Zhu Di didn't think of a good idea either. When he saw Xu Miaoyun, his face burned.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Zhu Bai said.
"Fourth Brother, you forgot.
She was the one who hid her identity first. You can use this to manipulate him!”
Hearing this, Zhu Di was immediately delighted.
"Yes, I was anxious!
I'll go back and line up with her now!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Di left without looking back.
Only the door was left wide open.
The cold wind blew in, making Zhu Bai shiver.
Helplessly, he got up and closed the door, muttering to himself,
"Sigh, all of them.
You don't even let me worry."
He didn't think that Zhu Di could win when he returned.
She felt that her Fourth sister-in-law had her in the bag.
