My father is Jiajing

Chapter 402: Prince Yu's Backyard Affairs

Zhu Zaigui thought that he had no grudges against Taoist Jiajing, so how could this happen?

But when Meng Chong, who was standing by, saw these boxes of confidential memorials being moved to the palace, he couldn't hide his joy with a smile on his face.

"Be gentle and careful. Don't put them anywhere!"

Meng Chong instructed the eunuchs who were moving the boxes to handle them with care and not to damage the boxes and the important memorials inside.

Zhu Zaigui was holding Zhu Yihuan at the side, and Zhu Yihuan was watching these people's actions curiously, his eyes full of ignorant curiosity.

Zhu Zaiqi looked at Zhu Yixuan and said, "Kunkun, have you seen this? When you grow up, I will let you feel what fatherly love is like a mountain!"

As soon as Zhu Zaigui finished speaking, Zhu Yifen started to make a scene and burst into tears.

Zhu Zaigui hurriedly coaxed, "Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry, it's your father's fault, it's your father's fault."

After being coaxed several times, Zhu Yihuan finally stopped crying, and then he looked at Zhu Zaigui and the people and things he still didn't understand with a silly smile.

Seeing this, Zhu Zaigui could not help but complain, "You are so young and yet you are like this. Won't you piss me off to death when you grow up?"

Zhu Zaigui carried Zhu Yihuan around for another round, and after accompanying him for a stroll in the palace, he carried him back to the rear residence and handed him over to Princess Li.

Seeing how much Zhu Zaigui liked this legitimate son, Li was extremely happy.

During this period, Concubine Li, Si Hua and another Concubine Wang were also pregnant.

So during this period, Li couldn't help feeling anxious, worried that her son's status might be threatened by these unborn children.

But after seeing this scene, Li couldn't help but blame herself for being so intolerant as the mistress of the royal palace. How could she take on greater responsibilities in the future?

Zhu Zaigui didn't know what Li was thinking, but he was still very satisfied with Li.

Because Li was very fair in her dealings with the rear house, there was no chaos in Zhu Zaigui's rear house, and the women seemed to get along quite well with each other.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui also admired Li's demeanor and felt that Li had the demeanor of a noble person and was a qualified and virtuous wife.

Li held Zhu Yixuan in her arms and looked at Zhu Zaiqi and said, "Your Highness, Chen's stomach hasn't responded yet. You should visit her more often."

The Chen that Li was referring to was Zhu Zaigui's concubine Chen. Her status in the royal palace was second only to Princess Li, and was somewhat similar to the imperial concubine in the emperor's harem.

Moreover, in the original history, after the death of Prince Yu's wife, Li, Chen became Longqing's second wife, and then became the empress of the Ming Dynasty.

But unfortunately, this Chen did not seem to be favored by Emperor Longqing, so she had no heir in her lifetime.

However, in this situation, Zhu Zaigui really wanted to wonder if the lustful Longqing was blind? Chen was obviously very beautiful, so why didn't he like her?
Now Zhu Zaigui finally has the answer.

Although Chen was indeed beautiful, she seemed a little cold. She also liked reading books. After reading, she liked to tell Zhu Zaigui the principles in the books, hoping that Zhu Zaigui could become the moral person and gentleman in the books.

Therefore, it was really difficult for Zhu Zaigui to arouse interest in such a strange concubine.

After all, some truths cannot be understood just by reading a few books or listening to a few words.

The principles taught in the book are true, but the world is far more complicated than the ideal world in the book. If you only think of using the principles in the book to deal with this complex world, there will definitely be problems.

So gradually, Zhu Zaigui went to Chen's house less and less frequently. And since she loved reading, Zhu Zaigui did not stop her. As long as it was a book she wanted to read, Zhu Zaigui would have someone find it for her.

Therefore, in terms of treating Chen, Zhu Zaigui had done his utmost.

If Zhu Zaigui had to continue to favor Chen, it would have to be because Chen could change her unrealistic fantasies, become a normal woman, enjoy the happy moments with her husband, instead of thinking about being a virtuous concubine who persuades her husband to "become a good woman."

Besides, Zhu Zaigui himself had never done anything against the will of heaven, nor did he scold or abuse his subordinates. He was always courteous and serious in his attitude towards people and matters.

But in the case of Chen, she seemed to have been poisoned by the virtuous concubines of all generations and was determined to become the famous concubine Fan Ji. This is how Ban Jieyu advised her lord.

Therefore, whenever Chen saw Zhu Zaigui not giving her some advice, she felt uncomfortable, fearing that her husband would become a person who would not listen to advice and would only pursue pleasure.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui was really tired of getting along with Chen.

However, face should still be given to the princess. After all, she is the master of his own harem and needs authority.

Zhu Zaigui said, "Okay, I'll make a note of this. I'll go to Concubine Chen a few more times. Don't worry that I won't treat you fairly. Also, you know my ability. If you don't want to sleep, I can keep you awake all night. Just don't blush when the maids come to change the bedding."

When Li heard Zhu Zai's words, she blushed immediately, "Kunkun is still here."

Zhu Zaigui laughed, "What does a little kid like him know? You're overthinking it."

Li didn't want to bother with Zhu Zaigui anymore. He was not a decent person at all. He just said shameful words and did shameful things.

Zhu Zaigui watched Li carrying Zhu Yihuan away, and he also laughed behind her. Then he also went back.

Returning to the study, Zhu Zaigui looked at his originally spacious study, which had now become a little cramped, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Meng Chong, you should clean up a bigger yard in a few days. This study of mine is a bit small and can no longer hold things. We have to move."

After hearing Zhu Zaigui's instructions, Meng Chong quickly replied, "Yes, I will have someone clean it up right away."

Zhu Zaiqi hummed, "Okay, let's go now."

After finishing talking about the study, Zhu Zaigui also sat down in his seat. He looked at the memorials that had just been placed on his desk, picked up one and said, "Let's get to work!"

Zhu Zaigui was flipping through the memorial from the Ministry of Rites, and after reading the contents, he suddenly realized something.

It turns out that we also need to select a concubine for our brother Prince Jing’s wedding.

Last time, Prince Jing had chosen his concubine together with Zhu Zaigui, and the wedding date should not have been too different. But unfortunately, Prince Jing had a sudden illness, which led to the postponement of the wedding, so the matter of choosing his concubine was shelved.

Now that several years have passed, the Ministry of Rites has begun to request the selection of a princess for Prince Jing. Zhu Zaigui must pay more attention to it and choose a good princess for Prince Jing so that she can assist him in becoming a wealthy and idle prince.
