Chapter 2 Grandfather (2)

"Brother Seventeen, come here soon!" Brother Eighteen arrived much earlier than me, standing at the corner of a group of brothers and sisters. When he saw me walking in, he quickly greeted me.

"Old Eighteen, what's wrong? Why are you standing here and not moving forward?" I looked at the position of the Eighteenth brother standing, which was too far behind. Usually, he had to squeeze to the front for whatever he had.

The eighteenth brother smiled at me and said, "Brother Seventeen, you don't know. A eunuch came to ask me for red envelopes before, saying that as long as he gave him a large red envelope, he would arrange a position ahead for me, otherwise he would have to stand behind me."

"Is there such a thing?" Although it was a bit unbelievable, I thought about it and understood what was going on.

You should know that this time the Father summoned us children personally, which is a rare opportunity for us to notice our own good opportunity and stand in front of others as much as possible, and invisibly, he can gain a huge advantage. Perhaps the servants who arranged these things wanted to make some benefits by relying on this opportunity, so they boldly asked us to ask for money.

In fact, in the past, there were quite a few such things in the palace. However, my Thirteenth Brother and I were no better than others. We usually had less expenses. If we wanted to give money, we would probably not be able to compare with others, so we should not give it at all. Especially for me, probably those servants knew that I was a "poor prince," so I just wanted to avoid asking me for red envelopes.

"Good slave, I've received the money from my master. Let's see how I deal with you in the future." I saw the eunuchs who are most snobbish on weekdays, and I thought to myself hatefully.

"Brother Seventeen, this time we just think it's just to see how my father looks, and we don't need to pay attention to other things." Brother Eighteen has always been so happy that he probably won't take these things to heart. Instead, he saw that I didn't say anything, so he said to me.

"It's nothing wrong with standing here. I can't say that my father will walk behind for a while and just can see us." I smiled slightly, and then said to my eighteenth brother with a joke.

The Eighteenth brother smiled and said a lot of things to me, all of which were all about the eldest brother, the second brother and the fifth brother.

After a while, I suddenly heard a eunuch in the inner hall shouting three times in a row: "The emperor is here... the empress is here... the princess is here!"

Hearing such a sing, except for a few people who knew the inside story, all the princes and princesses were shocked and could not come back to their senses after a while. Among them, the eighteenth brother beside me was obviously a typical example. He looked at the inner hall with a silly spirit, and he didn't know that he should kneel down to greet him at this time. At the same time, he murmured foolishly: "Oh, mom, the emperor's grandfather is here, it is the emperor's grandfather......"

Because I was prepared for a long time, I was the fastest among all of them to kneel down. I secretly pulled the corner of my brother's clothes and whispered: "Old Eighteen, wake up, Old Eighteen, kneel down quickly."

The eighteenth brother finally came to his senses and knelt down beside me in panic, but his eyes were still looking towards the inner hall. You must know that he has always admired the emperor's grandfather, the emperor who will win the world the most.

Everyone in the hall knelt down, and even the three concubines of the Yan Prince who were originally sitting on the chair were no exception. Perhaps because of the nervousness, everyone held their breath and did not dare to breathe for a moment. They could only stare at the floor in front of them.

After a while, I could clearly hear the sound of footsteps coming from the middle of the hall. More than ten merchandise entered the hall in a row, and then a few more people walked in slowly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

I don’t know who took the lead first, but everyone shouted loudly. To be honest, at this moment, I really hoped that the emperor’s grandfather could live long live, because under the rule of the emperor’s grandfather, the world, which was already full of holes, was gradually recovering. At least I saw this from the collection of books by some literati.

"Plain, get up!" This is the first time I heard the voice of the emperor and grandfather. For some reason, I felt a little familiar. While standing up from the ground, I secretly looked into the middle of the hall, and my body couldn't help but shake...

"Ten...Brother Seventeen, this...Brother Seventeen suddenly touched my hand, and he seemed to see something that surprised him.

Yes, I know why Brother No. 18 was surprised, because we all saw the faces of the three people on the hall clearly, and we had seen two of them long ago. They were the old couple that Brother No. 18 and I met on the street a few days ago.

"Are they...they are the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother?" I felt a little surprised, but also incredible. The matter was really beyond my imagination.

There was a man sitting on the throne of Yin'an Hall. He was a mighty man in middle age. His appearance was almost 70% or 80% similar to his eighteenth brother. The most important thing was that they all had a burly figure, which made me think in my heart that he was my father Zhu Li.

"Haha, haha..." The emperor's grandfather's hearty laughter attracted everyone's attention. He patted his father on the shoulder and said, "Li'er, it's not bad. It's a good thing to have so many children!"

"A good thing?" I paid attention to the face of the emperor's grandfather from afar. It didn't seem like he was joking with the father, but he seemed to be sincerely praising the father.

"Father, you are joking with me!" Perhaps the father, like me, was not sure about the emperor's grandfather's words, so he smiled mockingly and said.

"Oh, don't think I'm joking. I've read a lot of historical books about the change of dynasties recently. I found that many of the reasons why there are turmoil in the world is because the emperors of the current dynasty have no children. If there are too few children, if one accidentally dies prematurely, the whole world will be unstable. Only by having more sons and then setting up a legal system for the position under the wheel of the elder and the young, can we protect the world of our Zhu family!"

The emperor's grandfather was really like the rumors. He was completely unconventional. He talked about things like "the prince died young" without any hindrance. However, his words made me feel immediately: "Yes, in the past, it was because the emperor had no descendants to inherit the throne, and those royal relatives fought for the throne. The court was the foundation of the civil affairs of the world. If the court was unstable, how could the world be stable?" I have loved reading history books since I was a child, and I only felt that these history was like living stories that could teach me many truths, including all aspects.

"The father will live long and be unified for thousands of years." After hearing the emperor's grandfather's words, the father just smiled, "What's more, with the elder brother helping this father, our Dawu will never have any turmoil because of the matter of his offspring, and the father's world will be as stable as a rock."

The emperor's grandfather sighed softly and shook his head and said, "Although Biao'er is kind, his offspring is not good. He has been weak and sick since childhood and has only given birth to Changwen's child. If there is any change in the future, it will be difficult to say very well."

The father smiled slightly and comforted the emperor's grandfather and said, "Father, don't worry too much. Recently, the son-in-law bought a batch of wild old ginseng outside the pass, which is very useful for replenishing the Yuan and replenishing Qi. He also asked the father and mother to take it more. In addition, the son-in-law has also prepared a lot for the elder brother. The father will help the son-in-law take it back to the elder brother at that time!"

The emperor's grandfather nodded and said in a harmonious voice: "Okay, okay, it's rare that you have this kind of filial piety."

The father turned his head to the emperor and grandmother and said, "Mother, I often heard that your back pain has been hurt recently, which makes my son worry. I wonder if I have been better recently..."

In my eyes, the father is a well-rounded person. He kept talking about topics and chatting with the two old men. Before he knew it, a long time passed. After a while, the emperor and grandfather probably woke up and stood the dragon grandsons under the hall, and said, "Okay, this time I rarely see you. You will come up one by one, let me take a look at you!"

With this sentence from the emperor's grandfather, the brothers and sisters began to walk forward "one after another". Each of them greeted the emperor's grandfather, then reported his name, and then turned back to their original position. Of course, if the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother saw the clever and cute child, they would inevitably ask a few more questions. The emperor's grandmother would hold the little girl like the nineteenth sister in person for a while, but it really made other brothers and sisters jealous of "honor".

The emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother were obviously more special to the elder brother, the second brother and the fifth brother, because when the three brothers went up, the father always said a few more words from the side, so that the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother knew that they were the children born by the three concubines, because the two old men also asked them a few more questions, as if they were knowledgeable, whether they knew how to ride and archery!

After a long time of boredom, it was finally my turn to pay my respects to the emperor's grandfather. I walked forward with great strides. When the emperor and the emperor's grandmother saw me, they immediately looked surprised. The emperor's grandmother even said to the emperor's grandfather: "Your Majesty, look, it's this child!"

"My grandson Zhu Changluo wishes the emperor's grandfather a long life and wishes the emperor's grandmother a happy life." Although I remained silent, I knelt down honestly. In fact, the moment when I heard the emperor's grandmother recognize me, my heart was already full of joy. At that moment, there was nothing more worthy of my happiness than this.

"Flat, okay, okay, calm down!" The emperor's grandfather obviously recognized me, and he made me stand up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you are my grandson, okay, okay, okay."

The emperor's grandfather's short words were filled with five words of "good", which shocked everyone in the hall. They looked at each other with their eyes as if they were looking at some monster. There was jealousy, envy, surprise, and joy in those eyes (the ones who were happy were naturally the nineteenth sister and the eighteenth brother).

The emperor's grandfather pulled me to him, touched my head left and right, and said to his father happily: "Li'er, you really gave birth to a good son!"

The emperor's grandfather didn't know how much resentment and trouble he would cause me, but I knew that at this moment he was really praising my father for giving birth to such a "good son".

"Is this child..." The father obviously didn't know who I was. Seeing that I was so happy with the emperor's grandfather, he immediately lowered his voice and asked the eunuch near me.

"Best Prince, this is the seventeenth prince born to Mei Meiren." The eunuch close to me looked at me with a flattering look, and then said, "The little prince has been extremely smart since he was a child!"

"Dog slave!" After hearing the eunuch clearly, I immediately cursed, if I hadn't seen the emperor's grandfather "extraordinary" to me today, how could he say that I was "extremely smart"? Such villains with power-mindedness will come one after another in the future.

"Beauty of Rain?" The father thought hard, and at the same time he asked the emperor's grandfather and grandmother: "Son-in-law, seeing the appearance of his father and mother, have you known Chang Luo for a long time?"

"Knowing? It's not just that simple to know. A few days ago, we relied on Changluo to save him for justice!" The emperor's grandfather Long Xin was very happy and patted my shoulder and said with a smile.

"Save me with justice?" My father was still in a daze, and looked at me in surprise.

At this time, I was not aware of the truth and immediately ran to my father to kneel down and said, "My son is not worthy. A few days ago, I secretly ran out of the mansion with my eighteenth brother to have fun. When I met someone who wanted to cheat the money of the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, I scolded those rogues."

Before the father could answer, the emperor and grandfather got up and carried me to his knees, saying, "What's wrong with me? If I were locked up in the mansion, wouldn't the child be fooled? Besides, you dare to run out secretly, and you still have the same way I used to be. When I was herding cattle for others, I often went to other places to play secretly!"

Maybe I had a great impression of the emperor's grandfather. No matter what I am, the emperor's grandfather kept saying yes at this time. With him saying this, the matter of my stealing out of the mansion is not a big deal.

"Well, there was another child that day, and it was your brother. Where is he now?" The emperor's grandfather probably woke up the eighteenth brother I just mentioned, and then asked me again.

"That's my eighteenth brother. Now he is also waiting for your honor to you, the emperor, grandfather, grandmother!"

"Oh?" The emperor's grandmother heard this and hurriedly said, "Then call your brother up as soon as possible!"
