"Biao Er, Ying Tian is almost here. Wake up.”
The maidservant reminded Ma Xiuying that she was less than 20 miles away from Ying Tian. Seeing this, Ma Xiuying patted Zhu Biao's face gently.
Zhu Biao opened his eyes in a daze.
"Biao 'er, we're about to reach Ying Tian. Your father is waiting for us there.”
Zhu Biao was still a little sleepy, but he woke up instantly. He sat in Ma Xiuying's arms and looked ahead with bright eyes.
"Coming, coming!"
The few people waiting in the suburbs watched Ma Xiuying and Zhu Biao's carriage slowly approach from afar. They were all very excited.
"Greetings, sister-in-law! Greetings, Little Lord!"
Everyone bowed.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a few steps forward, intending to bring the mother and son down.
Ma Xiuying opened the curtain and saw that everyone was paying their respects. She quickly put Zhu Biao in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and stepped forward to stop him.
"Brothers, what are you doing? You are all my brothers and Zhong Ba's brothers, and Biao Er is your junior. How can you give him such a big bow?”
"Yeah, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of scaring Biao 'er?”
Zhu Yuanzhang also stepped forward and held Zhu Biao firmly in his arms. He used one hand to help Chang Yuchun up.
Seeing this, everyone stood up one after another.
"Come on, let us see the Little Lord.”
Zhu Yuanzhang placed Zhu Biao in Chang Yuchun's arms and teased him.
"As a father-in-law, why don't you quickly see if you're satisfied with this son-in-law?”
Father-in-law?
Zhu Biao, who was grinning from ear to ear in Chang Yuchun's arms, was suddenly stunned.
I'm only half a year old, and my wife has already been decided?
Isn't this a little too early?
Chang Yuchun did not care about Zhu Biao's doubts about life. He hugged Zhu Biao and handed him back to Zhu Yuanzhang.
He smiled.
"I don't dare to say that I'm not satisfied. This group of boorish men are still eyeing me covetously, planning to snatch my son-in-law.”
Chang Yuchun glanced at the others with a smug look. It was obvious from his smug look that he was extremely satisfied with this son-in-law of his.
"Good job, Chang Barbarian. You're still pretending to be good after getting a bargain. Come on, give me a hug, Little Lord.”
Xu Da hurried forward, followed by Deng Yu, Li Shan Chang, and the others.
"Everyone hug Biao."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he handed Zhu Biao to Xu Da.
Then, Zhu Biao was repeatedly observed by the group of strong men like a rare animal.
Zhu Biao was only responsible for raising his head, acting cute, and smiling.
An hour later, in the reception hall of Duke Wu's Mansion.
"Little Lord is really getting better and better. He's as exquisite as a fairy in the sky.”
"It's been half a year. Little Lord still remembers me. Little Lord smiles so sweetly at me.”
"Little Lord smiled at me too."
"So what if I smile at you? Little Lord even plucked my beard.”
In the hall, everyone surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang and praised Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who never liked to be flattered, also smiled so widely that his eyes could not be seen.
I don't like flattery, but aren't they right to praise my standard?
Were they exaggerating?
No, he didn't.
Isn't our Biao 'er that outstanding?
Soon, it was Zhu Biao's first birthday.
There were people coming and going in the Duke Wu Residence.
Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates, as long as they could rush back to Ying Tian, were all gathered here.
Zhu Yuanzhang's 20 or so adopted sons were also nervously waiting for their younger brother to come out.
He was congratulating him, but in fact, he wanted to see if Zhu Biao was really magical.
There was a red cloth in the middle of the hall. On it were brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, abacuses, coins, books, and other things.
"Biao Er, today is your birthday. Daddy has prepared many gifts for you. Can you pick one that you like?”
Zhu Yuanzhang carried Zhu Biao into the hall and placed him on the red carpet.
"Okay, Daddy."
Zhu Biao responded and walked forward steadily.
Seeing Zhu Biao start to catch Zhou, the hall was instantly silent.
Everyone stared at Zhu Biao nervously.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been steady, could not help but breathe nervously.
This was his son, his only son.
He couldn't help but feel nervous.
Zhu Biao looked at the things on the carpet and pondered as he walked forward.
In history, Zhu Yuanzhang had always adopted the policy of accumulating grain and delaying the rise of the king.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with this. He just wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang a little more confidence.
This would prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from recognizing Zhu Xi as his ancestor again.
For someone like Zhu Yuanzhang, who was capable, scheming, and resourceful, if he wanted to influence him, he had to make his words weigh more heavily in his heart.
Only by influencing him from a young age would it be easier for her to do what she wanted to do when she grew up.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew what Zhu Biao was thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang would have screamed that he was wronged.
Ever since Zhu Biao was born, Zhu Yuanzhang had no doubt about his destiny.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already confident enough. If he continued to be more confident, he would soon become arrogant.
After Zhu Biao understood what was going on, he stopped walking forward and quietly stopped in front of the red carpet.
"System, use the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant and let the Imperial Jade Seal fall from the sky.”
"The Nine Dragon Jade Pendant has been successfully used.”
Seeing Zhu Biao stop, everyone was anxious.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so nervous that he clenched his hands tightly.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, a clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
Everyone hurriedly turned to look outside the door.
Two green birds, whose bodies were similar to peacocks but were about the size of chickens, flew towards the red mark in the middle of the hall.
"Upper position, this is the divine bird Blue Luan!"
Lee Shan Chang, who had read the most books among them, spoke. Hearing this, everyone's eyes followed the two auspicious birds closely.
It was said that when Zhu Biao was born, the Nine Dragons came to congratulate him, but only Zhu Yuanzhang's confidants saw him.
This was the first time most of the people in the hall had seen the phenomenon caused by Zhu Biao.
Everyone was so focused that they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
The two Blue Luan flew around Zhu Biao and gradually shrank in front of him.
In the end, it turned into a four-inch-wide seal.
"Biao Er, this is?"
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to recover from his shock and looked at the seal in Zhu Biao's hand in confusion.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone came to their senses and looked at Zhu Biao fervently.
The things that the Auspicious Bird and Blue Luan sent over when Zhu Biao captured Zhou were definitely not ordinary things.
"Father, lords, please take a look.”
Zhu Biao turned the seal to face Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.
"I've been ordered by the heavens to live forever."
These words fiercely crashed into everyone's eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang's hands trembled as he touched the words.
"Biao Er, this is?"
"Just as Father saw, this is the Imperial Jade Seal that Li Si carved with the Heshi Jade under the orders of Emperor Qin.”
Zhu Biao handed the Imperial Jade Seal to Zhu Yuanzhang without hesitation.
Although this thing would be his sooner or later, it was not appropriate for him to hold it now.
"Whoosh…"
As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, the ministers below burst into an uproar.
This was the heirloom seal of the nation, a seal that had not appeared since the Jingkang Rebellion.
"Four inches in circumference, with five dragons on the top, and eight seal characters engraved on the front," Ordered by Heaven, Longevity is Eternal ". This is the Imperial Jade Seal.”
Everyone rushed forward and looked at the Imperial Jade Seal in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand with bright eyes.
"Congratulations, Duke Wu.”
"The destiny of our Wu Country belongs to us!"
"Alright, alright."
Zhu Yuanzhang gripped the Imperial Jade Seal with trembling hands. He looked at Zhu Biao and suddenly spoke.
"My son, Zhu Biao, is only one year old and is blessed by the heavens. Today, with the blessing of the Blue Luan, he will be the heir of the Duke of Wu.”
"Greetings, Crown Prince."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, everyone knelt down and greeted Zhu Biao sincerely.
Today, all of them had seen such a miracle, so they had no objections to Zhu Biao being the heir.
