Early morning.
Zhu Xu got up very early. He put on his clothes, ate two eggs and drank a bowl of bamboo juice before he got on the carriage in high spirits and headed to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen.
However, before he reached the Brocade Guard's yamen, he met the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict.
"Your Highness, the Fifteenth Prince, His Majesty has said that the Second Young Lady of the Duke of Wei Residence will be entering the palace today. You don't have to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen today. You can stay in the bedroom to receive the Second Young Lady of the Duke of Wei Residence!”
Hearing this, Zhu Xu pursed his lips and changed the direction of the carriage.
Zhu Xu had more time to meditate if he could avoid going to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen.
He couldn't wait!
At this moment.
A carriage was currently entering the Forbidden City.
A jade-like hand suddenly pulled open the curtains of the carriage. Xu Miaojin looked at the majestic palace city not far away, and a strange look flashed across her eyes.
She then lowered the curtains.
"Younger sister, we will reach the palace of the fifteenth prince in at most another hour. Don't lose your manners when you see the fifteenth prince. Although the fifteenth prince advocates quietness and inaction, he is still a prince after all, so we still have to treat him with courtesy.”
Xu Huizu instructed from the carriage.
"Big brother, I understand."
Xu Miaojin nodded slightly, but she was looking forward to it.
She was also very curious.
What exactly did Zhu Yuanzhang like about this Fifteenth Prince, who was rumored to have a dull aptitude and was only fond of Taoism?
He actually personally arranged a marriage for her.
"Younger sister, you don't need to worry about your residence. His Majesty will definitely arrange it for you, and it won't be too far from the Fifteenth Prince.”
Xu Huizu added.
"Yes."
Xu Miaojin nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Xu Huizu sighed in his heart.
Such a beautiful and well-educated girl was going to marry a mediocre Fifteenth Prince.
And he had personally sent it to someone else's palace.
Xu Huizu was very upset!
The carriage continued on for an hour before stopping in front of Zhu Xu's bedroom.
Xu Huizu lifted the curtain and looked at the tightly shut palace door. His brows furrowed slightly.
This Fifteenth Prince was too unreasonable. He actually didn't come out to welcome them?
Xu Huizu was even more dissatisfied.
"Duke of Wei, please wait for a moment. I will go and ask. Perhaps the Fifteenth Prince is not ready yet.”
The eunuch leading the way panicked and hurriedly said to Xu Huizu.
Xu Huizu nodded with a cold face.
The eunuch leading the way immediately came to the door and knocked on it vigorously. However, the door had already opened before he could knock twice.
"Is that the young miss of the Duke of Wei Manor?”
"Yes! Is His Highness in the palace?"
"His Highness wants you to go in."
“......。”
The leading eunuch looked at the retreating palace maid. After confirming that Zhu Xu would not leave the palace, he could only sigh and go back to report.
"Humph!"
Xu Huizu's expression immediately turned ugly.
Even Xu Miaojin's expression turned cold.
She was Xu Da's daughter.
Even if Zhu Xu was a prince, he shouldn't treat her so rudely!
"Let's go, little sister. We'll talk about it after we meet the Fifteenth Prince!”
Xu Huizu sighed again.
No matter how bad his impression of Zhu Xu was, this marriage was bestowed by the emperor. He could only bring Xu Miaojin to meet his future brother-in-law.
"Yes."
Xu Miaojin followed Xu Huizu out of the carriage and entered Zhu Xu's bedroom.
"Gu gu gu ~!!"
A series of chicken crows suddenly sounded.
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaojin were both stunned. They then saw many majestic roosters with colorful feathers gathered in front of them.
Pairs of small black eyes were fixed on them.
At this moment, Xu Huizu only felt a thorn in his back. A valiant aura assaulted his face, as if he had returned to the battlefield.
Xu Huizu shivered and quickly moved his feet, shielding Xu Miaojin behind him.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"These are all guests!"
A eunuch ran over and shouted.
Swoosh!
The group of roosters immediately spread out, actually opening up a path.
Xu Huizu's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Are you deliberately trying to intimidate me?”
"But how did these chickens grow so strong, and how did they train them?”
Xu Huizu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at the roosters lying on both sides of the road with lingering fear.
"Brother."
Xu Miaojin tugged at Xu Huizu's sleeve. She had never been on the battlefield before, so her reaction to the fierce aura was a little slow. However, she could tell that Xu Huizu's condition was not right, so she was a little nervous.
"No, it's fine. Follow me. I'll protect you.”
Xu Hui Zu led Xu Miaojin forward, but every step was careful, constantly paying attention to the rooster on both sides of the road.
Xu Huizu also quickly discovered that there were more hens in the yard besides the roosters.
These hens were also lying quietly on the ground, but they were staring at Xu Huizu and Xu Miaojin with their pitch-black eyes.
It was a short journey.
After Xu Huizu left, the clothes on his back were drenched.
"You are the Second Young Lady of the Duke of Wei's Public House.”
A voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Huizu suddenly raised his head and met a pair of calm eyes.
Zhu Xu stood in front of the door, his aura calm and natural.
He ignored Xu Huizu and asked Xu Miaojin.
Xu Miaojin was slightly stunned. She saw that Zhu Xu's white clothes were not stained with dust, and there was a faint transcendent aura about him.
"…Yes."
Xu Miaojin lowered her head slightly and bowed.
She didn't know why, but when she saw Zhu Xu, her nervous mood relaxed.
"Have a seat."
Zhu Xu pointed at the stool at the side.
"Oh."
Xu Miaojin sat down like a ghost. Then, she felt that something was wrong and looked at Xu Huizu.
"My, my big brother."
"Drink some bamboo juice."
Zhu Xu ignored Xu Huizu and poured a bowl of bamboo juice for Xu Miaojin.
It wasn't that he intentionally ignored Xu Huizu, but he didn't want to get married in the first place. He didn't want to accept this great karma.
The reason why Xu Miaojin was invited was because of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Xu Huizu was the Duke of Wei of the Ming Dynasty. He would not deal with such people if he could.
Xu Huizu frowned. Zhu Xu's disregard made him feel insulted. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't leave Xu Miaojin alone.
Naturally, he couldn't drag Xu Miaojin away from a marriage bestowed by the emperor.
Thus, he could only sit beside Xu Miaojin indignantly and pour himself a bowl of bamboo juice.
"Sister, you can talk to His Highness."
Xu Huizu's cheeks puffed up as he stared at Zhu Xu and said.
Zhu Xu ignored Xu Huizu and even Xu Miaojin. After pouring another bowl of bamboo juice, he didn't say anything else.
After all, Xu Miaojin was the girl, so she was a little shy. Naturally, she couldn't speak first.
The hall fell into a strange silence.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
At this moment.
" Coo coo coo!"
A rooster crowed.
"Someone is coming."
Zhu Xu finally broke the silence.
Xu Miaojin and Xu Huizu were stunned.
Immediately after.
A eunuch rushed in.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here!"
"Let Brother Crown Prince in."
Zhu Xu said indifferently.
At this moment, the way Xu Huizu and Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Xu changed.
Her feelings weren't just for them.
Even if it was the Crown Prince, Zhu Xu would not personally welcome him!
Instantly, Xu Huizu and Xu Miaojin felt much more at ease.
