Usually, when Zhu Yuanzhang would glare at Zhu Su, Zhu Su didn't think that his father was anything special.
However, when everyone greeted him and saluted, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked to the highest point of the hall and sat down under everyone's gaze.
Zhu Su had to admit that if he wanted to show off, he had to either be the emperor or kill the emperor.
His father belonged to the third category.
After killing the emperor, he would become the emperor himself. He would feel refreshed and his aura would be full.
His domineering aura was a mess.
As Zhu Yuanzhang entered, Empress Ma also walked out from behind the screen and sat beside him.
Then, the officials and children of the nobles took their seats.
After that, the womenfolk began to enter. Their seats were near the wall, and in front of them were screens.
Zhu Su waved at Xu Miaojin, who had just entered the hall, while hating this damned feudalism.
What a lively little girl, but now she was pretending not to know him with a straight face.
However, it was also true that no matter which family the girl was from, it was actually a very embarrassing thing to publicly declare that she knew Zhu Su and Li Jinglong.
Zhu Su kept waving at his beautiful sisters until Xu Miaoyun turned to look at him. When their eyes met, Zhu Su immediately put down his hand with a smile on his face.
Xu Miaoyun's face had unknowingly turned red.
When another fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged young woman in red walked into the main hall, Zhu Su was shocked and turned his head away immediately.
The woman with the hot figure happened to catch this scene. Her pretty face turned cold and she snorted coldly. She walked straight past the others and sat down behind the screen. Only then did she reveal an angry expression.
This person was none other than Zhu Su's sworn enemy, Chang Yao 'er.
As for why Zhu Su treated Chang Yao 'er like this…
Well, let's put it this way.
The reason why Zhu Su liked to play Zhu Xiongying's Little Coo Coo was because he had a grudge with a certain female hooligan of the Chang Family.
Therefore, Zhu Xiongying had indeed suffered something that he shouldn't have at his age.
When everyone was seated, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his wine glass and stood up, and so did everyone else.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the hall with satisfaction. After his eyes automatically swept past a certain someone, he started his speech."Dear ministers…"
Just as Zhu Su's imagination was running wild, Old Zhu finished his victory speech.
When the Emperor raised his wine cup and invited everyone to drink, the atmosphere in the hall finally became lively.
Zhu Su, who had recovered from his shock, also looked at the palace servants who were serving the dishes with anticipation. His mood became extremely happy.
There was nothing he could do about it. Usually, he would eat the dishes cooked by Xu Xingzu, the imperial chef, with his parents. Zhu Su could only say that the dishes were not bad, but it would be a little unconscionable to say that they were delicious.
Especially some time ago, the imperial kitchen had also started to use refined salt. Xu Xingzu did not control the amount well at first, and the food he made almost made people die of thirst.
Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang only casually instructed him to pay attention to the dosage next time, without even saying a harsh word.
What was this called? This was called winning the heart of the monarch.
Zhu Su thought of his third brother, Zhu Xi. It was said that he had beaten this fat chef because of the awful food.
In the end, he was taught a lesson by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, except for Lan Yu, who had not returned from the expedition to Yunnan, almost half of the Huaixi generals had arrived tonight. These generals who had fought with Zhu Yuanzhang for half their lives quickly released their nature under the influence of alcohol.
Many people left their seats and gathered together in twos and threes to chat and laugh. In contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything. Instead, he chatted and laughed with Empress Ma in a low voice. Clearly, he was in a good mood at the moment.
At this time, Zhu Su secretly found his elder brother Zhu Biao and talked to him about Ma Sandao.
"Little Five, you want to pay for him?" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Su in surprise. He didn't understand why Zhu Su would interfere in such a thankless matter.
"Yes, I'll pay for him." As Zhu Su spoke, he took out a bunch of silver notes and placed them in Zhu Biao's hands."Big brother, here are 110,000 silver notes. 100,050 of them are the money you gave me previously. The rest is the money I paid for San Dao Ma. However, I don't want to play with this favor. Why don't you step in?”
Hearing this, Zhu Su shook his head with a smile and stuffed the silver notes back into his hand.""My Xiaowu is actually thinking of doing a favor for Big Brother? However, you should keep these silver notes well. Big Brother can't take them from you. When I gave you the silver back then, I wasn't lending it to you. It was a reward.
As for why I couldn't save San Dao Ma, the reason was simple.
The royal family could not set such a precedent.
His father hated corrupt officials to the extreme, but he, Ma Sandao, refused to believe in evil and insisted on testing the law.
On account of his two sons dying in battle, our Imperial Father allowed him to make up for the deficit and let him live. This is already a great gift.
However, if he didn't cherish the opportunity, then he deserved it.”Zhu Biao explained to Zhu Su patiently.
" Then it's not appropriate to kill this guy..." Zhu Su thought for a while and asked tentatively,""What if, I mean what if, his relatives or something paid the money for him?”
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhu Su's sincere expression of 'do me a favor' on his face."Alright, seeing that you saved my father-in-law, big brother agrees to turn a blind eye to this matter!”
"What? Why don't you take into account that I'm your fifth brother?”
Although he had achieved his goal, Zhu Su was still dissatisfied with Zhu Biao's reason for helping him.
Seeing Zhu Su's aggressive attitude, Zhu Biao shook his head and said,"My fifth brother's face is greater than the favor of saving my father-in-law.”
" That's more like it." Zhu Su nodded in satisfaction and tore off another leg of roast duck from the plate in front of Zhu Biao. Then, he stuffed the silver notes back into Zhu Biao's hands."Big brother, take it. This is the pocket money I gave to my big nephew. You can save it for him first.”
After Zhu Su finished speaking, he didn't give Zhu Biao a chance to react. He stood up and went to Li Jinglong's side because he realized that this bad friend of his suddenly had a deja vu like a decadent teenager drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
