The first snow of this winter came later than usual.
In the Eastern Palace, Zhu Su looked at the red-skinned rat in his mother's arms, the third generation heir of the Ming Dynasty, his eldest nephew Zhu Xiongying, and looked at his elder brother with disgust.""You're so ugly. You're simply throwing away the face of my handsome and handsome Fifth Uncle.”
As soon as Zhu Su finished speaking, he was hit on the butt. Zhu Yuanzhang appeared behind him with a gloomy face."Little brat, do you think you were good-looking when you were young? It was still the same! You're like a big rat!"
In response, Zhu Su could only chuckle and silently put the blame on his eldest nephew.
Just you wait, my good nephew. If I can't beat up Imperial Father, why can't I beat you up?!
Outside Chang Xiyun's boudoir, Zhu Su, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, carefully instructed his elder brother to take good care of his sister-in-law. After thinking for a moment, he took out a nearly three-foot-long brocade box from the young eunuch who had followed him to the Eastern Palace and handed it to Zhu Biao.
"Big Brother, I was afraid that something might happen, so I wanted to prepare this for sister-in-law in advance. In the end, as soon as this thing was in my hands, I found out that sister-in-law had given birth. Although it was a step late, no matter what, it was originally prepared for sister-in-law, so there was no reason to keep it in my hands. Therefore, even though you might not be able to use this thing for a while, take it as my congratulatory gift to my eldest nephew.”
Although Zhu Su said it heroically, his action of handing the brocade box to Zhu Biao was like a slow-motion replay, which amused everyone.
"What is it that makes you feel so pained?”Zhu Biao smiled and was about to open the brocade box, but he was slapped by Zhu Su."Don't open it! Know some manners! How could he open a gift in front of a guest?”
In the end, he received another powerful shot from Zhu Yuanzhang on his butt." Biao, open it. Let's see what this brat is up to. He's so mysterious."”
Zhu Su crossed his arms and slightly raised his chin.""Open it and let our father open his eyes.”
" You." Zhu Biao shook his head. Only Father was in a good mood today. Otherwise, the Eastern Palace would be in a mess again.
Zhu Biao still opened the brocade box.
Then, a series of gasps sounded in the room.
A huge ginseng was lying in the middle of the brocade box. Even those who didn't know anything about medicinal herbs could tell that this was a rare treasure that had been around for thousands of years just by looking at the size of the ginseng.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had seen the world before. Even the two of them had never seen such a large ginseng. To be honest, they might not have even heard of it.
"Su 'er, where did you get this?" Empress Ma held her newborn grandson in her arms, but her eyes moved away from him. She looked at Zhu Su in shock. Her son was so capable.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at each other. Everyone instantly understood and reached a consensus. The silly boy had a big secret behind him.
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Zhu Su waved his hand. The Ghost Shadow Troop was a secret that he couldn't reveal. However, it was quite useful. The 2,000 Ghost Shadow Troop that he had sent to the Changbai Mountains had harvested more than just this nearly 2,000-year-old ginseng.
Of course, this ginseng could be considered the biggest harvest of this trip.
However…
Zhu Su recalled the green-skinned python that the Ghost Shadow Legion had found in the Changbai Mountains and the huge white tiger that was fighting with the green-skinned python. Whenever Zhu Su recalled the scene of their battle, he would feel his heart burning.
He had to find a chance to get such a cool mount!
Therefore, Zhu Su arranged for 200 Ghost Shadow Soldiers to send the ginseng and other spirit herbs back, and the rest were used to monitor the two strange beasts.
Zhu Su had checked that the Ghost Shadow Legion system had the function of taming exotic beasts. Although there were not many quotas, with only five places at the moment, it was enough for Zhu Su to bring out the big green python and the huge white tiger.
His thoughts were already on the distant Changbai Mountain, so Zhu Su ignored the gazes of his parents.
"Su 'er, you're very thoughtful." It was rare for Zhu Yuanzhang to be so kind to Zhu Su. He even patted Zhu Su's shoulder gently when he said this.
"Eh ~~" Zhu Su lowered his shoulders and quickly ran to Empress Ma's side. Hiding beside his mother, Zhu Su's face was full of disgust."Father, don't be like this. I'm afraid.”
His actions made Empress Ma and Zhu Biao smile, but only Old Zhu's face turned black again.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ginseng in his hand, which was about the same size as a radish. After a moment of silence, he said to Zhu Biao,"Su 'er prepared this for Xiyun. When she wakes up later, tell her that she can decide how to use this ginseng in the future.”
What Zhu Yuanzhang meant was that Xiyun had full authority to deal with the ginseng.
" As for you," Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Su, who was whispering to Empress Ma,""Father doesn't care what method you use, but think of a way to get another one of such a good thing. Father will reward you handsomely later!”
" What?!" Zhu Su was instantly annoyed! He immediately jumped up and said angrily to Zhu Yuanzhang,"Dad, this is a 2,000-year-old ginseng, not a big radish! I sent people to find it from the Changbai Mountains! It hasn't even been four hours since I got it! Do you think that there will be one just because you say so!"
"What do you want? It's not like I won't give it to you.”Zhu Yuanzhang was already used to Zhu Su's shameless attitude and did not fall for it.
It's simple and clear. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whatever Father wants, you have to think of a way to get it for us.
"Hah! Father, you have so many sons. Why are you only doing business with me?”Zhu Su found a chair and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down angrily.
Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was glaring at her son without saying a word. She couldn't say that her son had secretly prepared a lot of rare medicinal herbs for her and had sent them to the Kun Ning Palace.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's stubborn personality, if he felt that he was treated differently by his son, he might have to write it up in the account book again.
"Su 'er, mother knows that you must have spent a lot of effort to find these things, but your father doesn't want these medicines for himself. Your Uncle Xu, Uncle Tang, and your Big Brother Mu Ying have suffered many hidden injuries on the battlefield in their early years. Your father is thinking that if you have the means, you can take some out and help them recuperate.
They are the pillars of the country. Your Imperial Father is doing this for the sake of our Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Biao quickly agreed." Little Five, don't make a fuss. If you really have a treasure, just take it out." Will Father mistreat you later? Besides, if our father is a little stingy, will Eldest Brother and our mother make you suffer?”
"Pa!" Zhu Su slapped the table." You should have said so earlier! I thought our father had been cheated by wine and women recently..."
Before Zhu Su finished his words, Zhu Biao had rushed up and pulled Zhu Su aside. After blocking a flying cloth boot for him with his back, he covered Zhu Su's mouth and left the room.
"Little Five, I'm convinced. I'm really convinced. You didn't even finish your sentence and offended both of them. Let me tell you, if it wasn't for the fact that the mother was still carrying the child, you would definitely be beaten up.”Zhu Biao pulled Zhu Su and ran out, but Zhu Su didn't care about that. He was laughing along the way.
He wasn't someone who could take a loss. After all, any child who was a little more mature would definitely hate parents who painted a picture for their children.
