He even ordered Old Twenty-Two not to come out of the Cold Palace unless necessary…
It had been four years. It was no wonder that Old Twenty-Two did not recognize him.
Even he had almost forgotten that he had such a son…
"Father, why did you suddenly think of visiting Old Twenty-Two?”
Zhu Biao asked in surprise.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to tell him about Zhu Yunwen, but he thought that if Zhu Biao knew about it, he would definitely feel indignant for Old Twenty-two. He might even go back and beat Zhu Yunwen up.
For the sake of his precious grandson, it was better for him not to tell the truth.
He coughed a few times." I had nothing better to do, so I was just strolling around. I happened to see Old Twenty-Two, so I went in to take a look.”
Father and son were connected, Zhu Biao could tell at a glance that Zhu Yuanzhang was lying to him.
Strolling around?
Did he have nothing better to do and went to the Cold Palace?
It was obvious that there was another reason for this nonsense.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang would never hide anything from him, except for one exception!
It was about his grandchildren.
As a father, he really doted on his grandson ridiculously.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Biao's expression was not right, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked,
"Ahem, right, why did you wait for me all afternoon?”
Only then did Zhu Biao remember why he came.
"It's like this. In a few days, it'll be your birthday. At that time, the vassal kings from all over the world will come to Ying Tian to congratulate you.
Second, Third, and Fourth are all coming back. I'm here to ask how long you're going to let them stay in the palace so that I can arrange everything.”
For some reason, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of a small watermelon and that nervous little face. He could not help but laugh out loud.
"Father, what are you laughing at?"
Could it be that he was so happy when he heard that Fourth Brother and the others were coming back?
It was no wonder. Although his father didn't admit it, he had always doted on his fourth brother, Zhu Di.
Even though the fourth brother, Zhu Di, was not a legitimate son.
Zhu Yuanzhang put away his smile." Oh, I see. Then whatever. Just don't take more than a month."”
It wasn't that he didn't miss his sons.
However, if they were allowed to stay in Ying Tian for too long, the officials in the court would always have some rumors.
"Alright." Zhu Biao replied.
He also missed his younger brothers.
"Lord Wansui, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the dishes are ready.”
The eunuch came in and said.
After Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, a group of people lined up to come in and lay out the dishes.
After a while, the table was filled with dishes.
Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, Zhu Biao sat down naturally and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
"You brat, why don't you wait for your father!”Zhu Yuanzhang read.
Zhu Biao chuckled. He was almost forty years old, but he didn't put on airs at all.
"Father, I've been waiting for you all afternoon. I'm so hungry that my intestines are about to knot. Besides, I also want to try the taste of the vegetables you brought back.”
The chef in the small kitchen was afraid that the taste would not be to Zhu Yuanzhang's liking, so he used sweet potato leaves to make four dishes.
The first dish was used to make soup with the pigeon, the second dish was stewed with mutton, the third dish was stir-fried with chicken, and the fourth dish was mashed vegetables and steamed egg soup.
Zhu Biao tried the green egg custard first.
He was used to eating big fish and meat on a daily basis. Compared to the other dishes that were all meat, he wanted to try this egg soup that looked very light.
"Not bad, the taste is quite novel."
Zhu Biao only gave such an evaluation.
Novelty was indeed novel. After all, he had never eaten it before. However, it was still the taste of vegetables. He could not taste anything special.
He tried a few other dishes, but his expression remained unchanged.
Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed Zhu Biao's reaction and thought that it didn't make sense!
His first reaction when he ate at Zhu Ying's place this afternoon was almost to say that he was shocked.
Was he too hungry at that time?
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his chopsticks and tasted them one by one.
However, his expression became uglier and uglier.
The taste of the meat had already overshadowed the original fragrance of the dishes. Originally, he wanted to eat a fragrant and crispy meal. This way, he had backfired.
Zhu Yuanzhang's temper flared up. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and said angrily,""Who cooked this?!"
This was the dish that he had carried back in the rain, and now it had been made into this!
What were the chefs in the small kitchen doing? It was not even as delicious as the little eunuch beside Zhu Ying!
Zhu Biao, who was wolfing down his food, was startled by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden anger.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been like this all these years. He was moody, and even though he said he wasn't used to it, he was somewhat used to it.
Zhu Biao put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked carefully,
"Father, the small kitchen doesn't suit your taste?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious." Even the little eunuch at Old Twenty-Two's place makes better food than this!"”
Zhu Biao looked at the situation. If he was not mistaken, someone would die again.
The kind-hearted him did not want to kill people over such a small matter. He was prepared to divert Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.
"Father, I tasted this dish and it's quite delicious. Oh, right! You said that this dish was given by Old Twenty-Two. Where did he get it from?”
Zhu Biao's words successfully attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.
"Old Twenty-Two, that brat, opened up a piece of land in the Cold Palace.”
Perhaps even Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not notice that when he said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly with pride.
Can you give me a flower, a ticket, or a comment? It was his first time writing a Ming Dynasty article. He had read a lot of information, but there were still some mistakes. If the big shots had any opinions, they could point them out in the comments section…
