Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 613 How to become a great cause

  At this time, Zhu Houzhao was in a bad mood, and he really felt like all hope was lost.

  Defense by day and night, it really is the most difficult to defend against house thieves.

  Although I had doubts in the past, I didn't think about it deeply after all.

  In his heart, his sister shouldn't be attracted to any man, even a man as outstanding as himself.

   But he still made a mistake after all.

  Seeing Zhu Xiurong looking at him with tears in his eyes, Zhu Houzhao also felt distressed, sighed, and said bitterly: "Okay, I understand now."

  ...

   Half an hour later, Fang Jifan left the palace.

  For Fang Jifan, this is a happy beginning.

  That's all for this sake, the rest is about the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang.

  I have to give the royal family some time to adjust, the most important thing is, uncle, my father, my father hasn't mentioned marriage yet.

  Not long after he left, he saw Zhu Houzhao running quickly.

  Fang Jifan's face changed, and his first reaction was to run away.

   But Zhu Houzhao's physical strength is amazing, and he caught up with Fang Jifan in an instant.

   Fang Jifan was stopped, Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan out of breath, Fang Jifan was also out of breath, and both of them were a little out of breath.

  Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, Fang Jifan took the lead and said, "Your Highness, show some face."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao had a strange expression on his face.

Fang Jifan said eloquently: "If you are allowed to have a baby, Fang Jifan is not allowed to marry a wife? What does this mean? We usually say that we are brothers, but how can you be a brother like you? My Lingmei and I are concubines. What's the relationship between each other and you?"

   "..." Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, looking straight at Fang Jifan.

   Originally planned to strike first, but seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, Fang Jifan's heart softened. Looking at this guy who lacks a root string, no matter what, this guy will also be his uncle in the future!

He stepped forward, patted Zhu Houzhao's back and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. You also said that you and I are friends for the rest of your life. Between friends, you can't even bear a girl. Is this still a friend? If I have a girl , I am willing."

  Zhu Houzhao finally had a reaction, panting like a cow and said: "Okay, you do have a sister named Fang Xiaofan."

  Fang Jifan was taken aback for a moment, **** it, I almost forgot, I really have it.

  So Fang Jifan showed a bitter face and wailed: "Your Highness, she is still a child."

  Zhu Houzhao waved his hands, and said with a decadent expression: "Forget it, it's my sister who doesn't live up to expectations. And I also swear that I will treat you as my own brother and never beat you."

  He sighed, looking listless, and didn't want to talk to Fang Jifan any more.

   This time it was Fang Jifan's turn to chase after Zhu Houzhao.

  Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's eyes were red, Fang Jifan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and quickly comforted him: "Your Highness, isn't this your brother-in-law? You and I are brothers."

   "Your Highness, if your sister doesn't marry me, she will marry someone else. Can you stop me? Think about it, if you marry someone who is shameless, lazy, shameless, Your Highness, won't you feel... pain?"

   "I..." Zhu Houzhao sniffed, looking hard at Fang Jifan, as if he wanted to find Fang Jifan's shining point.

  Just listen to Fang Jifan's words: "Your Highness, think about it, what's wrong with a man like me who is so affectionate and righteous, and his righteousness is so thin. Think about it, there is no obstacle in the world that you can't get through."

   "If you say it again, I can't bear it anymore." Zhu Houzhao was furious again.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to raise his hands and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk, anyway, the raw rice is cooked. Hehe..."

  Fang Jifan is actually quite happy, the deal is done, as for the scars of little Zhu Xiucai, well, time will slowly heal his sorrow.

  Zhu Houzhao said with red eyes: "I think back then..."

He sniffed: "I think in the past, my sister followed me since I was a child. Wherever I hid, she hid too. Wherever I went, she went. We ran all over the palace." Yes. At that time, if I was not by my side, she refused to eat and insisted on waiting for me to come. I was scolded by my father, and she hugged my father's leg and pleaded for me. I am a little older , I need to move to the East Palace, and when she was leaving, she cried so hard that she just hugged me and refused to let me go, and several nuns didn't hold her back."

  Zhu Houzhao held his hands behind his back, tears could not stop coming out: "I'm just such a girl..."

  Fang Jifan patted him on the back: "That's right, I can understand. I also felt the same way when I fed Fang Xiaofan."

"But it's you!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan angrily, and his eyes were about to burst into flames: "You made all of this come to naught. When the girl looked at me resentfully just now, I knew that from then on, she would only Follow behind you, wherever you go, she will go, if you are not there, she will miss you without thinking about food and drink; if someone scolds you, she must be more anxious than anyone else; I must be crying so hard, heartbroken."

  Fang Jifan sighed, but did not speak.

  Zhu Houzhao was furious in his heart, and grabbed Fang Jifan's skirt: "Fang, if you bully my sister, I will kill you and feed you to the dogs."

  Fang Jifan sighed and said: "Don't be impulsive, a married girl is a splash of water."

   Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, Fang Jifan could clearly see the anger in Zhu Houzhao's eyes!

  Finally, he was furious: "Fang Jifan, I'll kill you!"

   After finishing speaking, he raised his fist and wanted to make a move.

  Fang Jifan looked at him innocently: "Little Zhu..."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao showed a fierce look, and his fist was still raised in the air.

  Fang Jifan blinked and said, "Are you hungry..."

  Zhu Houzhao's fist was still hanging in the air, with pain and hesitation on his face.

   After a long time, he finally put down his fist, touched his stomach, and said unwillingly: "I'm a little hungry."

   "Go to find Mr. Wen, let's make a side stove." Fang Jifan said.

   "..."

   After a long silence, Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Okay."

  The two stood side by side, speechless.

   After all, it’s as if the Tathagata has come. Things have already happened. Apart from choosing to forgive, what else can I do.

  So not long after Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao arrived in Xishan, bursts of fragrance wafted away...

  In a special copper pot, the red soup was boiling. Fang Jifan was happily rinsing the beef, making the sound of zilla in his mouth. It was very satisfying and he was very happy to eat.

  Zhu Houzhao took a sip of warm rice wine, blushing, a little drunk.

  Fang Jifan raised his feet, he has done what he should do, and the next step is the emperor's own business, how to solve it... This... depends on His Majesty.

  ...

  In Qianning Palace.

  Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang have returned from the Renshou Palace. Emperor Hongzhi has no intention of going to the Nuan Pavilion anymore. He is pacing back and forth in this bedroom with his hands behind his back. He is very worried.

The appearance of the emperor's grandson gave rise to hope in his heart. Now the entire Ming Empire is looking forward to the birth of princes one after another. One of them will inherit the throne of their ancestors. In the future, they will be like today. Like the Hongzhi Emperor, he became the Ninth Five-Year King and governed this huge empire with a source of blessings.

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment, then looked up at Queen Zhang and asked, "When did this happen?"

  Queen Zhang said: "Since Fang Jifan treated Xiurong, Your Majesty... all my concubines have died. Although these concubines have discovered some clues before, they have never dared to tell your majesty. I implore you to punish me."

Emperor Hongzhi was not angry, he pressed his hands, and pondered: "What's the use of talking about it now? Haven't you seen Grandma? She, once you think about it, how can you stop it, let alone Xiurong she…"

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head faintly.

Empress Zhang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, the concubine thinks that this may not be a bad thing. The princess of Ming Dynasty has always been wronged and can only marry ordinary people. Xiurong, she is a noble person in the palace. ...Hey... The concubine looks at the concubines of the past, whether it is appearance, talent, or even character, how many are outstanding? This Fang Jifan can be regarded as the one you and I grew up watching. Who is he, Your Majesty and the concubine , can be regarded as knowing the basics, and the concubines have also inquired secretly. He was a little ridiculous when he was young, but so what? Isn't he very good now? Besides, Fang Jifan is the one who saved His Majesty's life. He agrees with Xiurong, and the horoscope is so good. If you don't marry, you will wrong Fang Jifan, but you will also wrong Xiurong. Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and my concubine knows that you have concerns. It's the thoughts of the courtiers. But His Majesty always thinks of the courtiers, and he will act according to what the courtiers say, so is Your Majesty still the Son of Heaven?"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of Xiurong, what's the matter with being self-willed once? Those ministers and concubines can see it clearly. As Fang Jifan said, they secretly made alliances with each other by in-laws, and said they formed a party. Isn't it wrong? The prince is our only son, and he only has one younger sister. In the future, he will not have a real person to help him, so who will do his best to plan for the prince? Your Majesty must make a decision early and be firm!"

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded secretly, feeling that what Empress Zhang said was reasonable.

   In fact, Queen Zhang is always justified.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "But his title... a majestic marquis, to be the captain of the son-in-law, this... I am afraid that he has been wronged."

  Queen Zhang narrowed her eyes and said, "You can follow the authority on everything."

   "What do you mean?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Empress Zhang.

  Queen Zhang seemed calm, obviously she had planned for a long time, and she had already made up her mind!

I saw her saying: "Your Majesty, don't forget... In the past, there was only Zhan Shifu in the Ming Dynasty, but there was no Zhenguofu. This Zhenguofu can be created out of thin air, so what can't be changed? Forgive me for saying something disrespectful." In other words, Your Majesty is so old-fashioned, why does His Majesty have to be pushed by thousands of people every time before His Majesty is willing to take a difficult step forward? At the beginning, Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen, if they were like His Majesty, always looking forward and backward, always thinking If you have concerns, how can you achieve great success?"
