Autumn was a good time for the people to harvest rice.
The breeze was warm and the sun was just right.
Zhu Chen came to a small restaurant by the lake for a banquet.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had transformed into Lord Huang, was already seated with Empress Ma.
Zhu Chen closed his folding fan and cupped his hands.
"Long time no see, Lord Huang!"
The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched. It had only been two to three days.
But he also cupped his hands.
"Prince Chen is still as elegant as ever."
"Lord Huang's dark circles have gotten a lot bigger…Is his mental quality that bad? You can't sleep because of this?"
Zhu Chen shook his robes and sat down impolitely as he teased.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
If it wasn't for the fact that the timing wasn't right, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to expose his true identity and hack this unfilial son to death.
Empress Ma covered her mouth and chuckled.
Zhu Chen cupped his hands.
Empress Ma also bowed with a smile on her face.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched and he snorted,"
"Can we have a good chat?"
"Of course!" Zhu Chen nodded and sat up straight. He smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,
"Tell me, what did this king's cheapskate father want you to tell this king?”
"Cough cough!" Wang Huamin almost choked to death when he heard this. He coughed lightly to cover it up.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to drink tea!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was also speechless. His own people were here…
But after thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly,
"Your Majesty, pass a message to Prince Chen to stop taking concubines.”
"That's all?" Zhu Chen raised his eyebrows.”
Then, he shook his head." There's too much difference…This king will never stop taking concubines in this life! Live till old age!"
" Bastard…Cough cough, you…" Zhu Yuanzhang almost crushed the cup. He gritted his teeth.
" His Majesty told you to know how to control yourself…"
"No need, this king is strong!"
"His Majesty asked you to take it slowly…"
"It's fine, this king can hold on!"
" His Majesty…His Majesty said he wanted to see you…"
"…Hehe, that's impossible. If this king's cheapskate father wanted to see this king, he wouldn't have sent this king away so hastily!”
Zhu Chen sneered when he heard that and shook his head unceasingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes moved slightly and he sighed,""Perhaps His Majesty has his own difficulties?"
"Then this king also has his difficulties!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Empress Ma and Wang Huamin didn't say anything.
"Shrub!" Zhu Chen opened his folding fan again and fanned it slightly."
"Alright, let's get down to business. What did this king, the emperor, say?”
"Sigh…He said that Your Highness has done a good job this time, allowing the Imperial Court to discover the flaws and fill in the gaps. The reward is ten thousand taels!”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and could only casually say something.
Zhu Chen did not feel puzzled when he heard this. Instead, he sneered,""He's quite fair about rewards and punishments."
"Eh? Could it be that in the eyes of Prince Chen, His Majesty was such a harsh person?”
Empress Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a good position to ask, so she could only ask.
"Haha!" Zhu Chen took a sip of tea and chuckled.
"He treats his family quite well…"
"Isn't Your Highness the same?"
"Except for this king!" Zhu Chen did not mind talking about Old Zhu in front of Lord Huang from the capital.
"In the Zhu family, other than this king, he treats everyone else pretty well.”
"In the eyes of this king's emperor father, there were two kinds of sons.”
"Which two?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked subconsciously.
"The eldest son, Zhu Biao…and then the other sons!”Zhu Chen replied indifferently.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
If all his love was divided into two parts, it would be Zhu Biao and the others.
Zhu Chen continued,"And now, there are three types!”
"The eldest son, Zhu Biao, the other princes who grew up in the Imperial City, and this prince who grew up barbarically!”
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.
Zhu Chen seemed to be right.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked,""Doesn't Your Highness hate him?"
"Hate?" Zhu Chen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile that was not a smile." Lord Huang, are you trying to trick me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He swore that he didn't.
"Forget it, even if you try to trick this king, this king doesn't mind…"
Zhu Chen didn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to say anything and waved his hand indifferently,"
"This king doesn't hate her…but this king's mother will probably hate her until she dies.”
After he finished speaking, Zhu Chen started to drink his tea.
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent again.
His eyes were extremely complicated.
Empress Ma and Wang Huamin remained silent.
After a long time, Zhu Chen raised his cup to Zhu Yuanzhang and said seriously,"
" I know you're not an ordinary person. You should be a favorite of my father, the emperor…"
"This cup of tea is for you, but please tell His Majesty after you return to the capital.
This king doesn't hate him, but this king's mother has never seen that bastard whom she misses in her heart…Let him think for himself!”
Finished talking, Zhu Chen finished the tea in his cup in one gulp.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little evasive. He raised his teacup in a hurry and drank it as well!
Zhu Chen laughed and pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Lord Huang actually matches this king's temper…
After drinking this cup of tea, the matter of you obstructing this king from killing people will be forgotten. This king will not settle the score with you.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's hand that was holding the teacup trembled and he almost cursed.
Wang Huamin was almost scared to death. Are you trying to take revenge on His Majesty?
"Haha, Old Huang, it must be hard to be an official beside the emperor, right?”
Zhu Chen didn't mind and changed the topic.
"Counting the twenty-one histories, only the officials of our Great Ming Dynasty suffered the most, were the most tired, and had the lowest salary!”
"Especially when the salary is so low that it's even worse than begging!”
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him." What the hell? Is being an official worse than being a beggar?"
