Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Wandering Palace.

Back hall study.

Wang Defa, led by Liuli, walked through the back garden and came to the study in the back hall.

In the study room, Zhu Yunxi was standing in front of the desk, writing vigorously and freely, and wonderful stories appeared on the paper as the pen tip moved.

Liuli was about to report, but was quietly stopped by Wang Defa, who was full of curiosity. Then he tiptoed into the study, quietly came closer, and leaned forward to look at the table.

"My lord, you look so sneaky like a thief. Minghe Palace has lost a lot of things over the years, right?"

But just when Wang Defa was looking attentively with his eyes widened, Zhu Yunxi, who had his head down and was writing furiously, suddenly spoke.

Hearing the words, Wang Defa couldn't help being shocked, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly took three steps back.

"Your Highness, you are wronged!"

"This old slave was just concerned about the contents of His Highness's book. I was selfish for a moment and wanted to take a quick look! Your Highness, forgive me!"

Wang Defa bowed his hands and said with fear.

Seeing Wang Defa's embarrassed look, Liuli, who was standing at the door, couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing, then slowly looked up and put down the pen in his hand.

"It's just a joke. Prince, don't be nervous."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the nervous Wang Defa, smiled and said.

"Your Highness is trying to kill this old slave with this joke."

Wang Defa breathed a sigh of relief and said with a grimace.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here, and no one will spread what I just said."

"Even if the news spreads, the prince is upright and is not afraid of the shadow, and it is not in the way. Even if it is really stolen, just hand it over, and I will definitely intercede for you."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, picked up a cup of tea on the table and took two big sips.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's next words, Wang Defa's newly recovered expression fell into panic again, and he was so nervous that he almost cried.

Seeing Wang Defa's embarrassment, Zhu Yunxi smiled even more happily.

Wang Defa could only look speechless. He knew that Zhu Yunxi was joking, but this joke was just a joke outside the palace, but in the palace, it was indeed a bit fatal.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"I wonder why the prince suddenly came to visit?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, slowly walked out from behind the desk, and asked with interest.

"Reporting to Your Highness Taisun, His Majesty claimed that he has not seen His Highness for a few days and misses him a bit, so he sent an old slave to deliver a message, inviting you to the Minghe Hall to chat with him."

"By the way, please bring the latest chapter of "The Great Ming Dynasty" with you, Your Highness."

Wang Defa breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"Well, I happen to have something to give to Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Yunxi agreed without any hesitation, and then winked at Liuli.

Liuli understood immediately, walked to the bookshelf behind Zhu Yunxi, found an exquisite sandalwood box, and handed it to Zhu Yunxi respectfully.

Wang Defa looked at the exquisite box and couldn't help but show curiosity.

"Don't be stunned, Eunuch Wang, let's go now?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Wang Defa and said with a smile.

Wang Defa agreed and hurriedly stepped aside, asking Zhu Yunxi to go first.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and walked straight out without any further hesitation.

Wang Defa also hurriedly followed.

"Your Highness, where is Miss Hongyuan? Won't she accompany you?"

After leaving the Liuli Palace, Wang Defa glanced at Deng Chuan and the two Jinyi guards who were following behind, and asked curiously.

On weekdays, Hong Yuan was almost inseparable from Zhu Yunxi's side, but after Wang Defa entered the Liuli Palace today, he did not see Hong Yuan's figure.

"Oh, she has gone on errands outside the palace, and it's enough for the royal guards to follow her."

"This is the imperial palace. No matter how arrogant the rebels are, they will not dare to come to the palace to assassinate me."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Wang Defa and said casually.

Wang Defa nodded, without asking any further questions, and accompanied Zhu Yunxi directly to the Minghe Hall.

After a long time, several people arrived at Minghe Hall.

"My grandson pays homage to Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yunxi held the box and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Get down quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a smile.

From the moment he saw Zhu Yunxi, the smile on his face seemed to never stop.

"It seems that Grandpa Huang has been in a good mood these days."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was smiling and said slowly.

"Isn't this all thanks to you?"

"The writing is good! Now not only am I addicted to it, but even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have begun to pursue it. How can I not be happy to have a young literary talent like you among my husband, the Zhu family?"

"I heard that your "Da Ming Zhi" has long been popular out of Kyoto and has become popular all over the country?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and stroked his beard and asked with approval on his face.

"Your Majesty is exaggerating, but Hongwu Bookstore has indeed opened branches in cities around Kyoto. The latest chapters of this book will be distributed to various branches every few days. There are indeed a lot of people reading it."

"However, the reason why this book is so popular is not because Sun Er writes well, but because the main character in this book is Grandpa Huang. It won't be popular unless it becomes popular."

Zhu Yunxi first waved his hands modestly, and then said proudly.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's answer, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even stronger, and he could almost close his mouth from ear to ear.

"You're the only one who can talk!"

"But if you can keep your attitude of being neither arrogant nor impetuous, I won't have to worry so much about you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said seriously, his eyes full of expectations.

"My grandson, please remember and try your best not to disappoint Grandpa Huang in the future."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said respectfully.

"it is good!"

"Come, come to me, play chess with me, and talk."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, waved his hands, and said with a kind face.

Zhu Yunxi agreed and slowly sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The wise Wang Defa hurriedly arranged the chess equipment, made tea, and waited respectfully.

"By the way, I just wanted to ask, what precious thing are you holding in your hand? You haven't let go since you came in."

Zhu Yuanzhang curiously looked at the sandalwood box held in Zhu Yunxi's arms and asked slowly.

"Oh, my grandson was so happy to see Grandpa Huang that he actually forgot about it."

"This is a gift prepared by my grandson for Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and said sheepishly while placing the box in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Do I have any gifts to receive again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face became thicker and full of curiosity.

"A small gift is not a sign of respect."

Zhu Yunxi said, slowly opening the box.

"what is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a pile of wooden round cakes neatly arranged in the box and asked in surprise. He saw that there were black and red words engraved on the round cakes, such as "car", "horse" and "cannon". "such as.

"Chess."

Zhu Yunxi replied with a smile.

"This is chess? Why is it different from what I have seen before?!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked in surprise.

Xiangqi has appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the chess at that time was still in its infancy and was completely different from the modern chess that Zhu Yunxi found the craftsmen in the city to make. At that time, xiangqi was only called Liubo.

This chess set by Zhu Yunxi can be said to be hundreds of years ahead of its time!

"This is Sun'er's modified chess. It has more ways to play and a more complex layout. In the middle is the Chu River and Han boundary. The two sides are like two countries. The playing methods are more complete. It can be regarded as the two countries arranging their troops and ordering their troops on the battlefield. .”

Zhu Yunxi took the chess pieces out of the box one by one and arranged them, and explained with a smile.

"Interesting, but it does seem more difficult to play than existing chess."

"How to play this chess game?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the chessboard with curiosity and asked with interest.

"There is a formula for this chess game. Each chess piece has its own rules and trends. Let my grandson read it to Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Yunxi cupped his hands and said respectfully.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he pricked up his ears seriously and was very interested.

Wang Defa on the side couldn't help but come up, looking back and forth at the chessboard and Zhu Yunxi, his eyes full of admiration.

"The general never leaves the Nine Palaces, and the soldiers follow each other and never leave the palace."

"The elephant flies to the four corners of the camp, and the horse rushes forward with each step."

"The cannon must be shot at intervals, and the carriage will go straight to the west and east."

"Only the soldiers can only take one step, crossing the river and retreating without a trace."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, pointed at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and spoke in a eloquent manner. His voice was ups and downs, and he showed an incomprehensible look. Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang De were attentive and thoughtful...
