My Daming New Empire

Page 589

In this day and age, women are basically not allowed to go out alone, especially when they reach the stage of getting married after the age of ten, if they show up in public, they will not be able to get married.

After getting married, however, the restrictions were loosened a lot. After all, common people also have to live.

Men work and work, and women have to buy vegetables, buy rice, cook, and also take out handicrafts for consignment.

Although Sophia came out with Zhang Wu, it was okay to go shopping, but it was not allowed to eat out.

But if you come to Zhang's restaurant to eat, there is no restriction, because it belongs to the "own family" industry.

Watching Sophia pick up a piece of Dongpo meat with great difficulty and put it into her mouth, showing an obsessed look, Zhang Wu felt extremely satisfied. "Is it tasty?"

"This is the best food I've ever eaten. When I was in Rome, I never thought that I would come to this affluent Daming and eat such delicious food, let alone that I would meet you."

"These are nothing." Zhang Wu said proudly: "When you marry me, not only will you not have to work, but you will also have someone to take care of you. You just need to help me take care of the house."

Sophia nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Princess told me last time that when you leave, someone will be sent to teach me how to be a qualified wife. I will definitely study hard. From now on... from now on..."

Looking at her shy face, Zhang Wu couldn't help being fascinated. "What about the future?"

"From now on...be your good wife."

Zhang Wu giggled cheerfully, couldn't be more satisfied with the lovely person in front of him.

Before he went to sea, he never thought that he would fall in love with a Xiyi woman. He thought that he would be like everyone else, and his family would arrange a marriage. No matter how beautiful the woman was, whether he liked it or not, she would become his wife.

At most, if the wife is what he likes, he will love her more; if he doesn't like it, he will find more concubines.

But when he met Sophia, she almost met all his expectations for a woman. He was not a first-timer in love, and it was not like he had never found a woman on the way to sea.

But facing Sophia, he didn't even have a trace of blasphemy.

There was a noise from the street, both of them were a little curious and couldn't help but look over.

I saw a group of servants escorting a convoy of vehicles passing by. Sophia didn't recognize the flags, but Zhang Wu recognized that it was the convoy of the Dongying royal family.

The king of Dongying, who looked like a little monkey, didn't see it, so he should be in the carriage.

But a gust of wind happened to blow, and the curtains of the carriage window were lifted, revealing the beautiful Princess Dongying.

A child of three or four years old smiled and leaned against the window, looking out curiously.

Seeing his face, Zhang Wu's body shook, and he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"What's wrong? Who are they?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Wu took a sip of wine to hide his panic.

Why does this child look so much like his cousin grandson!

(Thanks to Shepherd Xi for being the leader of this book, [-] tomorrow.)

Chapter 51 Can't Tell

Compared with Zhang Wu's belated awareness, Zhu Di knew about it a long time ago.

At first, he was surprised when he heard the servant say that the child born by the princess was like him.

He just met this timid princess from a distance, and this child has nothing to do with him.

But soon, he thought of Zhu Zhanji.

After counting the time, he became more and more aware.

After the child turned one year old, he also took the opportunity to summon the Dongying royal family.Seeing that this child is not much different from Zhu Qizhen, both have traces of his big face, and he can't help admiring his grandson's good skills.

However, this matter must not be made public, but some cover-ups must be made.

So later, he admired a portrait of himself in Prince Chengguang's mansion. This portrait was not freehand, but it was very similar to himself.

Afterwards, more and more rumors spread from Prince Chengguang's Mansion.

Today someone said that the little prince laughed when he saw Zhu Di's portrait, and tomorrow someone said that the little prince first learned to speak, and he spoke Ming dialect.

Later, everyone in Yingtian Mansion knew that the little prince had a predestined relationship with Daming, and even his appearance became more and more similar to the Emperor of Ming.

But no one connected him with the grandson who had already gone to sea...

Zhu Zhanji didn't expect that, just two sneaky times, the bead tire was secretly knotted, and a baby with a handle was actually born.

He didn't know that Zhu Di called the Dongying royal family into the palace today, but when he saw the little prince, he almost jumped up.

Seeing Wang Hao's tender eyes again, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

But looking back, what I saw was Zhu Di's playful expression.He immediately knew that he had exposed himself.

However, he was not panicked by this, because he knew very well that Zhu Di might be overjoyed secretly.

King Chengguang has been in poor health since last winter, and has been bedridden. Accompanying Qiuzi today are Prince Komatsu and Prince Fushimi.

Listen to Zhu Di's conversation with them, because Chengguang is in poor health, Qiuzi is weak, and the little prince is young.Today's Chengguang Palace is basically dominated by these two princes.

This interview was a routine interview, because Qiuzi was here, Zhu Di didn't even let them eat in the palace, but just rewarded them with some food and silk, and let them leave the palace.

Once they are gone, today's work is done.

Zhu Di said to a group of cabinet monks: "Today, I want to be quiet, so I won't leave you dear friends for dinner."

The ministers bid farewell knowingly, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji also moved from the Wuying Hall to the Jinshen Hall.

Sitting down in the main hall, only Wang Yan was left by his side, Zhu Di said: "If I hadn't found out, you still don't seem to want to tell me?"

Zhu Di usually uses my name when talking to Zhu Zhanji, but now he uses my name, which means that even if he is very happy, he still wants to beat Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji immediately said: "How dare grandson, but grandson didn't expect that he would really give birth to a dragon grandson."

Zhu Di laughed. "If they are the dragon species of my Zhu family, then I can rest assured. I originally wanted to imprison them for ten or eight years, but now it seems that it is better to release them back to Dongpu."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Others can be put back, but the little prince can't. From now on, a rule should be established that all princes should receive education in our Daming until they can return to Dongying to govern."

Zhu Di pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Your idea is right. Only when I grew up in my Ming Dynasty can I have a sense of belonging to my Ming Dynasty. Not only Dongying, but I think other royal families who are conferred by my Ming Dynasty should be like this. I, Daming, can still afford some money."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Although the east of the city is open, there is not much open space after years of development. My grandson plans to move the current Habayashi Guard School outside Taipingmen, between Xuanwu Lake and Zijin Mountain. Now Yulin The Lin Wei School has been refurbished, and it will be the place where my princes and grandchildren of the Ming Dynasty study. As for the princes and grandchildren who belong to the country, they can also be arranged here. But the teaching is separate."

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's thoughtfulness, Zhu Di nodded, and finally warned him: "Before Akihito is formally established as the prince, you should not have anything to do with that woman, otherwise if it leaks out, the Dongying people will go crazy."

"The grandson knows the severity."

The last sentence is the main reason why Zhu Di summoned Qiuzi and the others to meet him today. Even if this matter is suspicious, it must not be proved.
