First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 38 Apologizing



Zhu Biao played happily outside all afternoon, returned to the palace, asked the other princes if they were back, and when they heard that they hadn't come back, Zhu Biao went directly to his room and took a hot bath.

He also asked Yunjin to change into an expensive red and white gold silk scroll cloud robe, with a small black dragon pattern shirt on the inside, jade-encrusted cloud boots on his feet, a belt of twenty-four sapphires around his waist, and a red thread tied with black ink on the side. Jade pan dragon pendant.

Zhu Biao ignored the cannibalistic gazes of the little girls, took a look at the sky, and then stepped to the front yard to wait. After a while, he saw a group of servants with flustered expressions surrounded by a few triumphant boys walking over.

When the servants saw Zhu Biao, their legs went limp. Zhu Biao ignored them and looked carefully at his brothers to make sure that they were not injured.

Before Zhu Biao could ask, the third child, Zhu Yan, proudly expressed his merits: Brother, you don't know! Just now we told those guys about what we played yesterday, and they were all quite envious. It's that Li Mao, what's wrong with him? Amazing look.

We ignored him. After a while, that guy didn't know why he went crazy, but he actually said that you are a nerd, big brother, nothing special, we got into a fight with them as soon as we heard it!

The rest hurriedly said, I'll go up and call too.

It's all a little expression that I have worked hard, and you want to reward us, big brother.

Zhu Biao heard it with a smile and knew that at the beginning, it was probably Li Mao who was a little unconvinced when he saw that the limelight was robbed, but when he said this sentence later, it must be Zhu Xi who went to provoke him.

Did it hurt you?

The servants at the back quickly climbed up: If you come back to the son, how dare we hurt the young masters, as soon as there is a fight, we will step forward to protect the young masters.

Zhu Biao waved his hand: Go down, it's none of your business.

Zhu Biao asked again: Then are they injured?

Zhu Xi said: Li Mao and the others are many people. Although they didn't dare to hit us, they protected him. Fortunately, the fourth brother hit Li Mao with a black eye while they were not paying attention.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Di and thought to himself that he deserved to be Yongle, and the attack was ruthless.

Before Zhu Biao could speak. I saw a few carriages coming outside, both men and women were leading a child. When they saw Zhu Biao, they hurried forward: I have seen the son of the world, I will come here to apologize.

Zhu Biao waved his hand: It's just a child playing around, why don't you talk about apologizing and please go back.

Zhu Biaoke politely sent them away, glanced at Zhu Xi and saw him shaking his head, and asked the porter at the side: Can you see someone from the Li family?

The concierge replied: There is a butler coming. He was at the back just now. The son may not have noticed.

Zhu Biao nodded and looked coldly. If everyone didn't come, it's fine. Others brought their children to plead guilty in person. The Li family only sent one housekeeper. Even if it's just a small matter, it's disrespectful!

Zhu Biao said to his younger brothers with a gentle face: Since I made a black eye, we have to come to apologize.

Those few looked at each other in dismay: Brother, it's enough that we don't let Li Mao come to apologize, there is no such thing as us coming to apologize!

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di and said, Fourth brother, do you want to go with brother, if not, let your second brother go for you.

Seven-year-old Zhu Di is not afraid of getting into trouble: Brother, I'll go with you.

The youngest Zhu Biao hurriedly stopped him, and said to Zhu Biao in dissatisfaction: Brother, there is no reason to go. The Li family is very powerful, but it can be compared with others. After all, they are not courtiers. How can we apologize!

The second child, Zhu Xi, grabbed him and said, Let's go, brother has his own plans.

Zhu Biao took Zhu Di's hand and left the palace. Zhang Yuan parked a carriage at the gate, and there were hundreds of people shadowy around him.

After waiting for the carriage, Zhu Di looked at his elder brother who had begun to close his eyes and meditate, full of questions.

But seeing that Zhu Biao had no intention of speaking, Zhu Di had no choice but to sit honestly.

After a short distance, I arrived at Li's Mansion. Looking at the mist and swamp from a distance, the four kilns are like a brick.

There are four locust trees at the gate, and there are horse-mounting and dismounting stones, and stakes for tying horses.

On the other hand, there is a horoscope screen wall with polished bricks facing each other; Lubei Guangliang gate has a door lamp on the top and a lazy stool on the bottom.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate, Zhu Biao didn't get out of the carriage in a hurry, he just sat in the carriage, and someone went up to report.

Not long after, I heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching: My minister Li Shanchang welcomes the son.

Only then did Zhu Biao pull Zhu Di out of the carriage and said to Li Shanchang, I'm bothering Mr. Li. This time, I came here to plead guilty to Mr. Li. My younger brother actually injured the son of your family. Biao hereby apologizes for my younger brother. Li Gong apologized.

Zhu Biao was about to bend down after finishing speaking, Li Shanchang grabbed Zhu Biao: I am terrified, how dare I ask the prince to apologize, I have just returned to the mansion, and I don't know about it, otherwise I would have gone to the palace to plead guilty to the lord.

Zhu Biao smiled, the subtext of pleading guilty to the prince is that you are not qualified to let me, Li Shanchang, come to apologize.

After Li Shanchang finished speaking, he turned his head and didn't ask which grandson it was, and just drank directly, Go and put him in the firewood room to face the wall and think about it. Don't give him food without the old man's order.

Zhu Biao said with a gentle expression: I'm the one who apologized later, how can I let the young master be punished again, please forgive me, Mr. Li.

Li Shanchang bent down and asked them to go in, Gu Zuo said rightly: Why does the son call the minister a public? This is not in harmony with respect, so please change the words, the son, don't humiliate the minister.

Zhu Biao stepped into Li's mansion: Mr. Li, don't be humble. With your contribution, isn't it a matter of course to be named Duke of the state? I heard that the founding ceremony is less than two months away. Congratulations in advance Mr. Li.

Li Shanchang didn't dare to speak, Zhu Biao looked at the magnificent and elegant layout around him. Compared with it, it was naturally worse than Xingong, but it was better than Wu Wangfu.

The smile on Zhu Biao's face increased a bit, and he said to Li Shanchang who was beside him: Li Gong's mansion is really magnificent, it is really enviable.

Li Shanchang laughed a few times: Your Majesty, why should you be impatient? Your East Palace was built by me. I consulted various ancient documents and hired the best craftsmen. I will definitely satisfy my Majesty.

Zhu Biao shook his head and walked into the main hall. There was a huge landscape painting hanging inside, with a delicate red sandalwood table underneath. Li Shanchang naturally let Zhu Biao sit on the top, Zhu Di sat under Zhu Biao, and he sat on the table. Opposite Zhu Biao.

Zhang Yuan did not sit down, but stood behind Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea he had just served, and glanced at Zhu Di who was sitting upright: Your fourth is drinking tea, and you have been playing all day, so you must be thirsty.

Li Shanchang also interjected: But it doesn't suit the fourth son's taste?

Zhu Di had no choice but to pick up the teacup silently and drink it, and then Zhu Biao started to fight with Li Shanchang. This is an old fox, and he can't leak his words, but it doesn't matter.

The fact that Zhu Biao personally led his younger brother to apologize will soon spread, making Li Shanchang's momentum intensify.

At that time, the followers of power or Li Shanchang's political opponents will naturally increase their firepower to promote Li Shanchang's momentum, while his real confidants will try their best to suppress it.

By then it will be clear who is who.

If Li Shanchang was smart, he would know that he should defile himself, and he would take the initiative to give up the competition for the prime minister, and honestly receive the title of a duke for retirement.

As for Zhu Biao's own reputation, he is only twelve years old, he is the future heir apparent, but his younger brother hit someone, and he led him to apologize late at night, what kindness this is.

Zhu Biao talked for a while, and then led Zhu Di to leave.

Li Shanchang personally helped Zhu Biao into the carriage, and stood there respectfully watching the carriage leave.

Watching the carriage turn, the peaceful smile on his face faded, and the coldness in his eyes quickly disappeared.

Looking at the family around him: Be more honest in the future, never conflict with the palace, if there is any conflict, please notify me immediately.

Li Shanchang's wife frowned and said: It's just children playing around, even the eldest son came to the door in person, why are you upset.

Li Shanchang didn't talk anymore, the most stupid thing in the world is arguing with him knowing that the other party is an idiot.
