"Imperial Father, your son really doesn't want to get married.”
Zhu Xu said.
Marriage, how big of a karma was that?
Although immortal cultivators also had dao partners, they would only find dao partners after they had achieved success in their cultivation.
Zhu Xu had yet to build his foundation. If he got married so early, it would not be a good thing for his cultivation!
"Fifteen, your fourth brother had already married a big girl from Tiande when he was your age. Now, they are very loving and have three children in a row! Tiande also had a second servant girl. She was said to be virtuous, virtuous, and beautiful.”
Zhu Yuanzhang advised.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Xu insisted on refusing,""Imperial Father, your son will never get married!"
Seeing Zhu Xu so insistent, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to force him and said,""Fifteen, anyway, I think that girl Tiande is not bad. Let her come to you. You two can get to know each other and talk about the engagement later.”
“.......。”
Zhu Xu thought that as long as he did not relent, the marriage would definitely not happen.
Moreover, whether the daughter of the Xu family came or not was also the daughter of the Xu family's business. Zhu Xu did not want to be involved in the cause and effect, so he naturally did not want to care, so he did not refuse.
"Then it's settled."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Xu did not refuse and quickly said.
At this moment, a palace maid served the chicken soup.
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately attracted by the chicken soup.
Although he had just eaten not long ago, the fragrance of the chicken soup could not help but make his appetite rise.
Zhu Xu poured a cup of peach dew for Zhu Yuanzhang and asked the palace maid to scoop a bowl of chicken soup for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips after drinking the peach dew.
"Fifteen, the water here smells like peach blossoms.”
"Haha."
Zhu Xu smiled, picked up a drumstick with his chopsticks and put it into Zhu Yuanzhang's bowl. He also picked up a drumstick.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the drumstick and took a bite. His eyes immediately widened.
"This, this chicken is delicious!"
"It's smooth and tender!"
Zhu Yuanzhang finished the drumstick in a few bites and chewed on the bone, making a series of cracking sounds.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang put the whole chicken into his mouth with a few chopsticks.
After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the oil off his mouth.
"Delicious! Fifteen, this is the best chicken I've ever eaten in my life!!”
"As long as Imperial Father likes it."
"Then Shiwu, remember to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen in a while. Zhen will go back first.”
"Father, take care."
After Zhu Xu sent Zhu Yuanzhang off, he got on the carriage and headed to the Imperial Secret Service's yamen.
He was now the Supreme Commander of the Brocade Guard. Regardless of whether he had official duties or not, he should stay in the Yamen of the Brocade Guard.
Even if he wanted to meditate, he had to meditate in the yamen.
.................
When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he immediately sent someone to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
Xu Da, Duke of Wei, died in the 18th year of Hongwu.
At this moment, the person who inherited the position of Duke of Wei was Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Huizu.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's call, Xu Huizu immediately rushed to the palace.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Long live our emperor!"
Xu Huizu knelt on one knee in Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Huizu, how old is your sister?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Your Majesty, my sister is twelve years old now.”
"Yes, you're at the age to get married. Have you married her yet?”
"Not yet."
Xu Huizu frowned slightly, feeling that Zhu Yuanzhang might want to marry his sister.
And just as he thought.
Zhu Yuanzhang then said," It just so happens that my fifteenth prince is thirteen years old. Let your sister enter the palace and interact more with my fifteenth prince. In the future, when she is suitable, we can officially get engaged. What do you think?"”
"Your Majesty can make the decision!"
Xu Huizu didn't dare to say anything and immediately said.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"Then let your sister enter the palace tomorrow."”
"Yes."
Xu Huizu agreed, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart.
He felt that his sister was so beautiful that she should marry a capable prince. However, Zhu Xu could be said to be the most inconspicuous one among Zhu Yuanzhang's princes.
In his opinion, Zhu Xu was definitely not a good match for Xu Miaojin!
Compared to the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, who was married to Xu Miaoyun, she was far from comparable!
However, no matter how unwilling Xu Huizu was, he did not have the courage to disobey the imperial edict. After receiving the order, he left the palace.
...................
Duke Wei's Mansion.
In a pavilion in the middle of a pond.
The young girl was dressed in light yellow clothes. She sat on a stone chair, holding a chess piece in her hand. She looked at the chess game in front of her in a daze.
The young girl's eyebrows were like black, her eyes were like stars, her figure was graceful, her curves were alluring, her skin was fair, her oval face was slightly red, and her red lips were outlined in an alluring arc.
"Miss, Master is back."
A maid stepped forward and said.
"Yes."
Xu Miaojin nodded slightly and put down the chess piece in her hand. She didn't really care about Xu Huizu's return.
Xu Huizu walked to Xu Miaojin's side.
"Miao Jin."
"Yes, big brother."
Xu Miaojin looked at Xu Huizu and continued to look at the chessboard.
In her eyes, it was as if Xu Huizu was not as important as the chessboard in front of her.
"Miao Jin, His Majesty summoned me into the palace today to betroth you to the Fifteenth Prince.”
"Hmm?"
Xu Miaojin raised her head and looked at Xu Huizu with a frown.
"Miao Jin, this is His Majesty's golden promise. Your big brother can't reject it. Moreover, as a woman of the Duke of Wei's Public House, it's quite suitable for you to marry a prince and become a princess.”
Xu Huizu hurriedly said.
"I understand."
Xu Miaojin pursed her lips and looked at the chessboard again.
That's right. As Xu Da's daughter, it was indeed very suitable for her to marry a prince. Moreover, marriage was not something that Xu Miaojin could decide.
The eldest brother is like a father.
Not to mention that the emperor had personally bestowed the marriage!
"Miao Jin, His Majesty said that you should enter the palace tomorrow and spend more time with the Fifteenth Prince first.”
Xu Huizu said.
Hearing this, Xu Miaojin heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she wasn't going to marry someone she didn't know.
"Big brother, what kind of person is this Fifteenth Prince?”
"Well, I heard that the Fifteenth Prince likes Taoism and advocates tranquility and inaction. His talent is mediocre, but since His Majesty has betrothed you to him, he must have something extraordinary!”
Xu Huizu could only say good things.
"Yes, it's good to be quiet.”
The corners of Xu Miaojin's mouth curled up slightly. She was someone who liked peace and quiet, and she even had a lot of research on Buddhist scriptures.
Zhu Xu happened to like Taoism.
Buddhism and Taoism were inseparable.
Xu Miaojin was already somewhat satisfied with Zhu Xu as her future husband.
"Younger sister, then you will follow me into the palace tomorrow.”
"Alright."
