Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his teeth.
" You're spoiling this kid too much. Aren't you afraid of spoiling him…"
Old Zhu said helplessly.
His wife seemed to have gone crazy. It was as if she wanted to give Zhu Lin all the maternal love she had given him all these years at once!
They couldn't stop him!
"Spoiled? Didn't you say that Lin 'er was extremely intelligent and had the bearing of a sage that even Song Lian had to bow down to?”
Ma Xiuying patted Zhu Lin's head and raised her head.
"No matter how much you spoil a child like this, you won't spoil her!”
Old Zhu was speechless.
He had never won against his wife when it came to bickering.
"When parents dote on a child, the child will only feel love. In return, the child will only be more filial!”
Zhu Lin said with a smile,
"So the more you dote on me, the more filial I will be! This was a two-way and positive one!”
When Ma Xiuying heard this, her eyes immediately narrowed into a line, and her expression became even more doting.
"Oh right, let me tell you something."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said,
"Lin 'er, go back to your station first.”
"Yes." Zhu Lin nodded obediently and bowed to his parents before turning around and leaving.
He couldn't wait to go back and draw the lottery!
Seeing Zhu Lin leave, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to dismiss the attendant and said,"
"Xu Da will return from the north in two days.”
Ma Xiuying nodded.
"So be it." She munched on melon seeds with a relaxed expression.
"Those people from Huaixi have done many evil things among the people. They bullied the people and forcefully occupied the fertile land.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
Ma Xiuying's expression turned serious.
"You want to deal with them?"
As the founding empress, she had a keen sense of politics. She changed the topic and said,
"Fight one batch, pull another batch. You want to rope Xu Da in?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"That's right."
He snorted coldly.
"Huaixi, these old things, they are getting more and more arrogant just because they have some credit! They didn't rob the common people's fertile fields, they dug up the foundation of our Zhu family!”
"Tell me, can we tolerate them doing this?”
"I know them too well. If we don't beat them up, they will definitely get worse!”
"But if we strike, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the power of the court, and those people in eastern Zhejiang will become powerful again.”
Ma Xiuying frowned slightly.
"I have told you many things. Liu Bowen will not form his own forces. There is no so-called Eastern Zhejiang Gang.”
she advised.
"Why don't you believe me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
"Whether he has it or not, we'll treat it as if he has it! This is the normal train of thought of an emperor. You don't understand.”
He said,
"There must be balance in the court!”
"Huaixi, we have to bring someone out. Li Shan Chang and Hu Wei Yong are not suitable, and we can't bring them out. The only one we can bring out now is Xu Da, who has returned with military merits.”
Ma Xiuying pursed her lips.
Don't understand?
I know it all too well! You're just paranoid. Those ministers don't believe you.
"How do you plan to lift it?"
Even though she had some complaints in her heart, she still supported her husband's work.
"It's impossible to become a king. I can't give you any more glory and wealth.”
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said.
"A marriage?"
Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows.
"Do you want to marry a daughter or a daughter-in-law?”she asked.
Old Zhu chuckled.
"We won't do a losing business! He must have married a daughter-in-law!"
He said,
"I've thought about it long ago. The eldest daughter of the Xu family has been raised in the boudoir for many years and I haven't seen her much. But looking at the days, it's about time for her to get married.”
"Among the royal sons, who is worthy?"
Ma Xiuying thought about it.
"If you want to match their ages, the man will naturally be slightly older. Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi are already married, so only Zhu Di and Zhu Xi are about the same.”
she replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"Di 'er and Pin' er are indeed similar, but she's the daughter of Xu Da's family after all. We have to pick an outstanding prince to match her, so we can't just ridicule her.”
He said,
"Today in the main hall, Di 'er's performance was also quite eye-catching. She also dared to raise an opinion that was contrary to Song Lian's.”
"How about…Zhu Di?"
In his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang had already decided on the candidate, but he had to ask his wife's opinion. After all, this was a marriage between his children! How could he not discuss it?
Old Zhu still had the mindset of a small farmer in his bones, and this was where he was kind and down-to-earth.
"Oh, sure, I don't mind."
Ma Xiuying shrugged and said casually,
"It's not like my son is getting married anyway. I'm not worried.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
"Don't be like this! Our sons are all your sons, and you are their mother! You have to treat everyone equally!"
He said unhappily,
"You're too narrow-minded!"
Ma Xiuying snorted.
"Equal treatment? I can't do it!"
She retorted,
"If it didn't crawl out of my stomach, how am I supposed to kiss it? I can treat them well in front of outsiders because I am their mother.”
"But now that we're talking behind closed doors, I have to tell the truth. The only people I care about are Biao 'er and Lin' er. If you don't want to hear lies, I can't be bothered to flatter you like the other concubines.”
"Understood?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
For a moment, he was speechless.
"Speaking of marriage, Lin 'er's marriage will have to be arranged when the time comes. He's already in his teens!”
Ma Xiuying continued,
"Which family's girl are you going to let him marry?”
Old Zhu was slightly startled.
"This…I really haven't thought about it."
He hesitated for a moment and said,
"Isn't it still too early…This kid has a wild temper, we need to find a powerful woman to subdue him!”
Ma Xiuying stood up immediately.
"You don't care about the Di son at all! I can't even be bothered to talk to you!"
She flicked her sleeves and said,
"I'm going to take an afternoon nap.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"Hey!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said,
"Sister, Xu Da will be back soon. In two days, we'll call the Xu family's girl into the palace. Help us take a good look, chat about family matters, and feel her temper!”
"Got it." A lazy voice came from the bedroom.
"This girl is really…"
Mr. Zhu hesitated for a moment. He wanted to complain, but in the end, he took a bite of the apple and turned to leave.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Hu followed and guarded beside him.
"Humph humph…Back to the Fengxian Hall!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered,
"Erhu, you have another task. This time, it is the Empress who has assigned it to you.”
Xiao Hu's expression turned cold.
"Since the Empress has ordered it, Xiao Hu will not hesitate to go through fire and water!”His expression was firm as he spoke in a deep voice.
The Empress was a great benefactor to him!
