"real or fake?"

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming with some suspicion. Didn’t he just say that he didn’t know where the military books were hidden?

He looks confident and doesn't seem to be lying.

It was not until Zhu Ming recited a few passages casually that her expression changed from suspicion to shock.

"you……"

She looked at Zhu Ming in disbelief and pointed with her hand.

"What about the reward you mentioned?"

Seeing Xu Miaojin, who had been pestering him, showing such a surprised expression, Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his hand.

His palace may not be short of Xu Miaojin's rewards, but he can have them, and Xu Miaojin cannot not give them to him.

"Tomorrow! I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Xu Miaojin took a step back. She didn't expect that Zhu Ming had really read these military books, and the reward was not ready yet.

"No."

Zhu Ming smiled wickedly and rejected her idea decisively.

This Xu Miaojin must be put in a difficult position for once.

Xu Miaojin gritted her teeth, raised her hand to take off the hairpin on her head, and handed it to Zhu Ming.

Without the restraint of a hairpin, her long black hair fell loose.

"It's okay now."

Xu Miaojin fiddled with the hair that fell in front of her with her hand and asked back.

Zhu Ming looked at the hairpin in his hand and was also stunned for a moment.

Although the materials of this hairpin are of the finest quality, the workmanship is not very fine and can even be said to be clumsy.

It shouldn't be difficult for the daughter of the Duke of Wei to hire a skilled craftsman.

"This is...I made it myself."

Xu Miaojin looked at the stunned Zhu Ming and thought that the hairpin was poorly made, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Zhu Ming was even more surprised when he heard that the hairpin was made by Xu Miaojin herself.

This thing is indeed not available in his palace.

"What about your hair?"

Zhu Ming looked at Xu Miaojin's loose hair and asked unconsciously.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Xu Miaojin glanced at her hair and just shook her head casually.

Zhu Ming didn't dislike his hairpin, even though it was a hairpin used by girls and he couldn't use it.

"Turn around."

Zhu Ming didn't say anything else, but just grabbed Xu Miaojin's hand and asked her to turn around.

Then Zhu Ming clumsily curled his hair according to the hairstyle he remembered Xu Miaojin to have.

In fact, a beauty like Xu Miaojin can easily leave a deep impression on people, and Zhu Ming's impression of her is not bad.

It’s just that Xu Miaojin, as a descendant of the general family, is a little too strong.

"All right."

After struggling to pull Xu Miaojin's hair back according to his memory, Zhu Ming clapped his hands, looking as if he had accomplished something.

Xu Miaojin touched the hairpin that had returned to her head and looked at Zhu Ming again.

"How about it?"

Zhu Ming looked Xu Miaojin up and down as if to take credit, even though his hair-curling skills were indeed a little... not very skilled.

"not so good."

After Xu Miaojin lowered her head and uttered four words, she opened the door and ran out of the library as if escaping.

"Little grandson, what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhu Ming walking out of the library victoriously, Liu Jin looked at him in shock.

When he went in, Xu Miaojin was still looking very strong. How come his attitude suddenly reversed?

Seeing Xu Miaojin running away, Zhu Ming also relaxed, stretched his muscles, and patted Liu Jin's shoulder: "Don't think too much."

Having said this, he walked towards the main hall as if he were carrying out a triumph.

After that, Xu Miaojin didn't look at Zhu Ming again for the whole day. Looking at his dazed look, it was estimated that he didn't listen to anything in class.

"My dear, how did the last incident go?"

In the Daming Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne and looked coldly at the two ministers kneeling below.

"Your Majesty, after we returned, we discussed this with all the officials overnight and we all felt that this was feasible, but..."

The two ministers, the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue, prostrated themselves on the ground and responded in fear.

They all stopped talking halfway and looked at each other.

"Just what?"

Seeing that the two ministers had stopped, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even colder and he asked more questions in an unpleasant manner.

"This……"

The two ministers looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds, and handed over a memorial.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave a look, and Yun Qi walked over and handed the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Only because of the current financial shortage, the Ministry of Revenue cannot allocate money to build large ships. Secondly, the Ming Dynasty has banned maritime activities for a long time, and we know very little about overseas affairs. We need someone who can lead the way."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as he looked at the expenses required for navigation and shipbuilding listed in the memorial in his hand and listened to the reports of the two ministers.

Although his grandson's idea was good, what these two ministers said could not be ignored.

"We understand. You guys can leave first."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyes with his hands, waved his hand helplessly, and asked them to retreat.

"Forget it, let's go see our darling grandson."

After the ministers left, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time before he sighed helplessly.

He also felt that his grandson's suggestion was good, but he could not ignore the issue of wallet and manpower.

He shook his head and calculated the time. It was time for Zhu Ming to finish his get out of class, so he stood up and walked out of the palace gate.

"Grandpa Huang."

As soon as Zhu Ming came out of the main hall, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing there waiting for him and immediately shouted.

"Where's Miao Jin girl?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Ming, but looked around and still couldn't find Xu Miaojin, so he asked Zhu Ming.

"She left as soon as get out of class was over."

Zhu Ming just felt that Old Zhu had been blinded by Xu Miaojin and now he almost didn't even recognize his own grandson.

"How are you two getting along?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud, and then asked jokingly.

As he spoke, he carried Zhu Ming towards the side courtyard of Daming Palace.

"Hard to say……"

Zhu Ming responded somewhat helplessly and could only tell everything that happened between him and Xu Miaojin today.

He couldn't tell whether Xu Miaojin and himself were good or bad. He just felt that it was not as boring as usual.

"You kid, you've learned to bully others."

After hearing Zhu Ming's words, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again and reached out his hand to scratch Zhu Yuanzhang's nose.

"No, I just wanted to vent my anger."

As Zhu Ming spoke, he recalled how Xu Miaojin escaped from the library and was stunned for a moment.

After returning to the side courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang put Zhu Ming down. He rarely stopped joking and looked at Zhu Ming seriously.

"Grandpa Huang?"

Seeing the change in Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Ming also shouted in confusion.

It was the first time he saw Zhu Yuanzhang so serious in front of him, and he didn't know what had happened.
