Gao Chi of the Ming River

Zhu Gaochi replied respectfully, "If you go back to grandpa, your children and grandchildren will be better."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "Then play a game with grandpa."

Zhu Gaochi responded, turned his head and told Zhiqin Sanbao to prepare the chess game, and then ordered a pot of good tea to be served.

Waiting for the chess game and tea to be served.Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Okay! You all step back. You don't need to wait."

Zhiqin Sanbao was taken aback, a little hesitant.

A white-faced and bearded man in his 40s followed Zhu Yuanzhang and hurried forward. Zhu Gaochi remembered that this man had come to Beiping to announce his decree and brought a jade pendant from the emperor's grandfather.

"Master...why should the servant stay?"

"Go, go, go, tell me! Don't leave anyone to wait on you! We, grandpa and grandson, are playing chess, what are we doing standing here with so many people?! Go down! Go down!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved impatiently.

Several attendants looked at each other and had no choice but to kneel down, salute and retreat.

Zhiqin and Sanbao hurriedly knelt down, saluted and retreated.

Everyone retreated.Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Come on! Gao Chi! Play a game with grandpa!"

"Grandson obeys!"

The chess game begins.

**********

Mrs. Xu made an excuse to get something, turned around and left the back hall. As soon as she reached the corridor, someone came out from behind and called out with a smile on her face, "Princess, stay!"

Xu turned her head and frowned when she saw that it was her sister-in-law.

"Princess, can I take a step to speak?"

*************

Zhu Di sipped his tea leisurely, and the white chess between his fingers fell onto the board calmly.

Xu Zengshou said in a low voice at this moment, "My lord, is your son thirteen this year?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, with a slightly displeased expression, picked up a white chess piece again, and said in a low voice, "Chi'er is thirteen this year."

Xu Zengshou saw that Zhu Di's eyebrows and eyes seemed a little displeased, so he said a little nervously, "I heard from my sister-in-law that it seems that I want to introduce a good marriage to the prince..."

Snapped!

The white chess in Zhu Di's hand fell heavily on the board.

The leisurely look between his brows and eyes suddenly turned gloomy!

**********

Xu frowned and looked at the woman with a warm smile in front of her, her sister-in-law, Xu Huizu's wife.

"Sister-in-law, I've made a note of the young lady of this family. But... I can't give you an accurate word. You know... Chi'er's marriage is not just my business, he is the son of the world, so don't be careless."

Xu Huizu's wife said angrily, "Oh, this is a rare first-class good girl. After passing this village, this shop will disappear."

Xu smiled faintly, "This kind of thing is also about fate. If you really miss it, you can only say that she and Chi'er are not destined."

Xu Huizu's wife was anxious, "Hey, I said the method was not invented by humans? You can order it for them first."

Xu frowned, "Isn't it convenient at this time?"

Xu Huizu's wife simply leaned over and said in a low voice, "It's okay! To be honest with you, Wangfei, Miss Zhang's father is the emperor's grandson's master!"

The emperor's grandson's master? !

Xu's heart trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Thanks to my vigilance, otherwise...

Looking at Xu Huizu's wife again, Xu's eyes were full of coldness.

***********

Zhu Di looked at Xu Zengshou coldly, "Is it the emperor's grandson's master?"

Xu Zengshou nodded, and said in a low voice, "Would you like to arrange a marriage for the prince first? In order to avoid future..."

Zhu Di sneered, "Even if he dares to think about getting married! He has to ask me!"

Zhu Di was annoyed, dare to miss his son? !

Xu Zengshou frowned, "My lord... what if he asks the emperor to marry him?"

Zhu Di's heart sank, and then he sneered, so what if he was given a marriage? ?snort!Just a woman!

But my heart began to get irritable.

***************

At this time, Zhu Gaochi was in the courtyard.

The chess game is already halfway through.

Zhu Gaochi liked to play chess very much. When he was in Peiping, as long as his father was not busy, he would take his father to play a few games.

His father is usually very straightforward and has a very hot temper, but when playing chess, he is very patient, step by step, coordinates the overall situation, and is more ruthless than anyone else when he should be ruthless.

When playing chess with his father, he always had to guard against his father's unexpected and sudden attacks.

And now...

Playing chess with the emperor's grandfather, Zhu Gaochi stared at the chess board. It looked like an ordinary move, but now he realized that he had hidden murderous intentions!

"Gao Chi..."

"The grandson is here." Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses.Respectfully hand over.

"Your father played chess with me once. Guess who won in the end?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback.Is it a game between father and grandpa?

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and said respectfully, "It's a draw."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, "Oh? Why do you say it's a draw?"

Zhu Gaochi said earnestly, "Daddy's chess skills are the same as grandpa's. They are very good, but grandson knows dad's temper. If you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose... So, grandson thinks, there is only a draw."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Gaochi for a long time before he laughed, "That's right! It's a draw!"

After laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, "Your father's temper is really stinky. He obviously lost, but he carried it to death. In the end, your father turned the situation around and made it up!" Thinking of something, he sighed with regret, "Oh, it's a pity that your father..."

What's wrong with my dad?

Dad is wise and martial, handsome, wise and calm, tenacious and unyielding!

What a pity?

Isn't he the eldest son?

"Gao Chi... If in the future, Gao Xu and Gao Sui want to fight for your position as the eldest son, what will you do?" Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and asked seriously.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously replied, "Each according to his own ability!"

Of course... he will plan ahead...

The so-called...a good boy should be picked up from an early age!

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, stared at Zhu Gaochi, and murmured, "Everyone depends on their own ability?" Then he smiled wryly, sighed and shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help saying in a low voice, "Grandpa...a hero doesn't ask about his background."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and repeated in a murmur, "A hero doesn't ask about his background?" Then he laughed and patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder, "Well said!"

************

Zhu Di walked towards his own study in the backyard with a gloomy expression all the way. Before reaching the study, he turned around the corridor and saw Mrs. Xu walking towards him in a hurry.

Zhu Di paused.

"My lord!" After saluting hastily, Mrs. Xu whispered about Xu Huizu's wife's mediatorship.

Zhu Di's face became even more gloomy.

"My lord... Tell me, do you want to arrange a marriage for Chi'er first..." Xu asked in a low voice.

Zhu Di said coldly, "Let's talk about this later!"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he walked towards the study.

My heart is extremely irritable.

**********

The chess game is over and Zhu Gaochi loses.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the chess game and sighed in his heart, hey, playing chess with the old man won less and lost a lot, now playing chess with the old man's father... lost in one game!

Zhu Yuanzhang got up and said with a smile, "Not bad! Not bad!" Then Zhu Yuanzhang said with deep meaning, "Gao Chi's chess is much better than grandpa imagined!"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback.What do you mean by this...?

Zhu Yuanzhang took out something from his sleeve, put it in Zhu Gaochi's hands, and said with a smile, "Gao Chi, promise grandpa, don't open this thing, and don't tell your father. After a few years, grandpa will be gone. Open it again."

Zhu Gaochi was startled, and subconsciously looked down at the small box in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Gaochi's head again, smiled slightly, turned around and strode away.

***********

It was night, Zhu Di opened the door and saw Zhu Gaochi sitting on the bed, staring at a small box on the bed.

Zhu Di paused for a moment, staring at Zhu Gaochi, thinking of today's matchmaking, he felt very depressed.

Walking slowly, Zhu Di thought to himself, maybe he should start to make some preparations?

Walking to the bed, seeing that Zhu Gaochi was still staring intently, he couldn't help frowning, what is it?Looking so engrossed?His eyes casually glanced at the small box on the bed, and he couldn't help but startled.

this thing...

"Chi'er! Did the emperor give it to you?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses, looked at Zhu Di, scratched his head, puzzled, "Father... this was given to me by the emperor's grandfather. He also said that he couldn't show it to you..."

But he still showed it to Dad.

Subconsciously, Zhu Gaochi didn't want to hide anything from his father.

Zhu Di was taken aback, and looked at Zhu Gaochi who was scratching his head and giggling. He couldn't show it to him, but he still showed it to him?

With a soft heart, he sat on the bed, picked up the box, looked at it for a while, then put it down and smiled, "Since your grandpa said it, then you just do it."

"But dad..." Zhu Gaochi hesitated.

What's in this little box?Dad is not curious?

Zhu Di shook his head, "Your grandpa gave it to you, so dad won't read it."

Although he didn't know what was inside, he knew that this small box was very important.

Now such an important thing is in Chi'er's hands... What does this mean?

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi who was fiddling with the box over and over again, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

Although Chi'er has been injured several times, but... there are always unexpected blessings, maybe... this is Qilin?

**********

"Gao Chi will definitely show it to the fourth child, right?"

In a small room in the palace.

There is nothing there, only a portrait hanging on the wall. The portrait is of a woman, very beautiful.

Looking closely, the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Gao Chi.The eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the face is not beautiful, but it makes me feel very comfortable.

"That kid Gao Chi respects his father very much."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the portrait on the wall, and murmured, "That kid Gao Chi is as kind as Yun Wen, but he is more shrewd and tenacious than Yun Wen, and less sour... If he is the fourth child in the future... hehe ...That's not bad...hey...it's just Yun Wen...you once said that the fourth child is the most suitable..."

"Hey... I also know that the boss is weak, and now even Yun Yun has followed his temperament, weak, and too pedantic...Ye Boju said back then that enfeoffing the kings would lead to disaster...Hey...I was too conceited back then Now! Now...it's already difficult! Hey, even though I'm still alive, I can't do much... The feudal lords have become irresistible, especially the fourth... But it's okay, there is still the fourth, Maybe this knot can be untied in the future... It's a pity that Yun Wen!! Hey, even if I give the fourth seat now, I'm afraid Yun Wen won't survive! What's next... can only be seen by Yun Wen himself And...and...Gao Chi..."
