Twenty-four years later.
April 14th.
Today was not a big day, but to Zhu Ying, it was an important day.
At the age of nine, he was officially conferred the title of King An, and his fief was set in the barren Pingliang.
After a series of complicated ceremonies, the ceremony finally ended.
"Congratulations, Your Highness King An."
The old eunuch who received the imperial edict congratulated Zhu Ying with a smile.
Zhu Ying's thin body accepted the imperial edict.
Looking at the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, Zhu Ying could not help but want to laugh.
What bullsh * t King An!
"Your Highness, let's go back."
At this moment, beside Zhu Ying, a young eunuch who looked even younger and weaker than Zhu Ying said in a soft, childish voice.
Zhu Ying hummed in agreement and kept the imperial edict in her bosom.
Just like that, the master and servant left one after another.
Looking at the two small figures from behind, he felt a little sad.
The other kings who were also conferred titles today were accompanied by many palace servants. Only Zhu Ying had a young eunuch by his side.
It looked a little miserable.
A young eunuch with delicate features looked at these two small figures and thought of his young sister-in-law at home. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked the old eunuch beside him,
"Master, do you want to send off His Highness King An?”
The old eunuch glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, his tone full of mockery." There are so many princes who have been conferred titles, why did you choose the most useless one to curry favor with?”
The young eunuch hurriedly refuted." Master, you've misunderstood. It's just that King An is still young. The people who serve him are also still young. The Forbidden City is so big. I'm just afraid that they might get lost…"
The old eunuch snorted." Although His Highness King An has been conferred a title, don't you know what kind of place that fief is?!" Think about it clearly!"
The old eunuch flicked his sleeves and left, leaving the young eunuch with his head lowered.
He thought for a long time, and finally followed Zhu Ying and his servant.
On the other side, two small figures were shuttling through the huge Forbidden City.
There was still a long way to go before they could return to their chambers.
For this ceremony, the master and servant had already woken up before dawn. They had rushed over to receive the ceremony, and now they had to return to their remote bedroom under the scorching sun.
Zhu Ying held the imperial edict in his hand and felt that it was a little hot, but he did not dare to throw it to "Little Six" who served him.
If this was seen by some people with ulterior motives, they might label him with some groundless accusation.
For this reason, he could only hold the imperial edict in his arms like it was a treasure and pretend to like it.
"Your Highness, you must be tired. Why don't this servant carry you back?”
Little Six panted heavily, his face flushed red as he asked with great difficulty.
Zhu Ying looked at Little Six's exhausted appearance and admired him for having the courage to say this.
In Little Six's current state, he might not even be able to walk back on his own, let alone carry him.
Zhu Ying sighed helplessly.
As a transmigrator, it was embarrassing for him to end up like this.
Although he had transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty, he was still the prince of Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, he was not the son of Empress Ma. He could not even compare to the son of a concubine in the harem.
Among the twenty-six sons of Old Zhu, he was ranked twenty-second and was the only prince whose birth mother was unknown.
In history, Old Zhu doted on his sons, but he only doted on those few.
After all, he had twenty-six sons, not including his daughters.
How could he pamper all of them?
It was already good enough that he could recognize all of them.
Not to mention that he was just an invisible person who did not even have a biological mother.
Then, he looked at the fief that Old Zhu had given him.
Pingliang ah.
In such a remote place, it could be seen how biased Old Zhu was.
Zhu Ying thought of her own past life. She was already dead in her early thirties, and the worst thing was that she did not have any children until she died.
Because he had no children after his death, the entire fief was abolished…
Sigh, it was really a man's silence and a woman's tears.
Zhu Ying turned around and pulled Little Six, who was walking unsteadily. This child was one year younger than him, so weak that he could be blown down by a gust of wind.
"Your Highness King An, please wait a moment."
Zhu Ying turned around when he heard the voice. He saw a handsome eunuch in his early twenties running towards him.
"Your Highness King An, this servant is here to send you back.”
It was the young eunuch.
Zhu Ying looked at this person in puzzlement. Didn't he just become King An? Why was someone trying to curry favor with him so quickly?
Either this eunuch was not very bright and could not see through his situation, or there was true love in the world.
Zhu Ying believed the first point more.
Just as he was about to reject the eunuch, Little Six, who was beside him, was so weak that he could barely stand.
The young eunuch also noticed this and carried Little Six on his shoulder." Perhaps the weather is too hot and he's suffering from a heatstroke. Your Highness King An, let's go back first."”
Zhu Ying could only nod.
"Thank you."
The eunuch smiled." Your Highness King An is too polite. This is my duty."”
Zhu Ying saw that he was so enthusiastic and thought that it was a good thing to have someone to help.
"What's your name?" he asked with a smile.”
The young eunuch hunched over and replied,""Your Highness King An, this servant is called Wang Jinghong.”
