"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing Zhu Mingchao smiling at her, Xu Miaojin immediately turned her head away.

But when she turned around, she saw Xu Yungong also looking at her and Zhu Ming with a meaningful smile. Then she immediately blushed and lowered her head.

"Father was right about these two kids."

Zhu Ming performed so well at today's dinner that Xu Yungong naturally no longer opposed his engagement with his sister.

Now it seems that there is something going on between my sister and this little grandson.

With just a few words, Zhu Ming came up with a way to raise military pay for the soldiers at the border, which can be said to be a great success.

"My dear grandson, let Grandpa Huang hug you."

As soon as the banquet was over, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to hug Zhu Ming.

He now feels more and more that Zhu Ming was the person sent by Biaoer to take over the country for him.

As for Zhu Yunwen, it’s not that he is bad. He dared to stand up and support Qi Tai, and he also had his own opinions.

But it is still inferior to Zhu Ming.

"Uncle Zhu, Jin'er will go back first."

Xu Miaojin also called out to Zhu Yuanzhang politely. Xu Yungong was already standing behind her, waiting for him.

"Go back with your brother, but be careful."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded happily, then stretched out his hand and patted Xu Miaojin on the head.

"You...remember to go to class on time tomorrow."

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms again, finished her words quickly, then turned around, took Xu Yungong's hand and ran outside.

"Your Majesty, I will withdraw first."

Xu Yungong smiled and shouted to Zhu Yuanzhang, then he was helplessly led away by Xu Miaojin.

"Hahaha, this little kid."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled even more happily as he watched Xu Miaojin running away shyly.

"You kid, don't let Jin'er down in the future."

He could see that Zhu Ming had been trying to sweeten the girl Jin'er's heart these past few days.

"what?"

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was admonishing him with some confusion. Why was he betraying him?

“Brother, wait a minute!”

When they reached the palace gate, Xu Miaojin stopped again, let go of Xu Yungong's hand, and ran quickly inside.

After a while, he came back carrying a light bow on his back.

"Okay, brother, let's go. Father must be waiting anxiously."

Having said that, she turned around and ran towards the direction of Duke Wei's mansion.

I came to the main hall early this morning, and it's almost late at night. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I'll be scolded again.

"What is that?"

Xu Yungong looked at the bow carried by Xu Miaojin. As an expert in archery and horse riding since childhood, he could tell at a glance that the bow was crudely made.

Since my sister likes this bow, it must have been made by the little emperor's grandson.

"nothing."

Xu Miaojin responded without turning her head, but quickened her pace.

"Be careful, don't fall."

Xu Yungong looked at Xu Miaojin, who was quickening her pace because of shyness, and shook his head helplessly.

As he said this, he trotted after him.

"That commoner!"

As soon as he walked out of the banquet, Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and couldn't help cursing.

Ever since that kid was picked up by the emperor, he clearly felt that most of the emperor's love for him was taken away by that commoner.

Not only did he let the commoner live in the Daming Palace, where he had never lived before, but he also coaxed him every day and visited him in the main hall.

Even after he beat her, she still sided with him and made her kneel in the ancestral hall.

All these grievances made Zhu Yunwen feel like crying.

"You should be careful next time."

The Crown Princess also looked at Zhu Yunwen with a frown.

Just now, it should have been Zhu Yunwen's turn to perform well in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but now that kid has stolen all the limelight.

And judging from the boy's words and actions, he clearly did it on purpose. He even pretended to be innocent. He is so scheming.

"understood."

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head somewhat disappointedly. Today he was indeed outshined by that commoner.

It would have been great if I could have come up with such a good idea earlier.

"That little grandson is really smart. He can come up with such a brilliant idea!"

"Who says it's not?"

"Alas, it's a pity that he is not the emperor's blood. The throne will not be his."

"Alright, stop talking now, or someone might hear you..."

Listening to the ministers passing by discussing Zhu Ming, the Crown Princess' mood did not improve at all.

Now it is said that this child is not Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodline, but looking at the way Zhu Yuanzhang treats this child, he does not look like one at all.

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

"The wit of the little emperor's grandson is truly admirable."

It was not until a familiar voice was heard from the palace that the Crown Princess suddenly looked up and looked at the young man who had walked out.

In front of all the civil and military officials, he dared to confront General Lan Yu head-on. The owner of that voice was truly impressive.

At this moment, Qi Tai lowered his head in frustration and walked out of the banquet.

"Lord Qitai."

The Crown Princess took Zhu Yunwen's hand and went to meet Qi Tai who had just walked out, and called out to him respectfully.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor."

Looking at the Crown Princess and Zhu Yunwen, Qi Tai took a step back in fear and bowed deeply again.

"Master Qitai, there is no need to be so polite."

Crown Princess Lu hurried over to help Qi Tai up, then turned around to look at Zhu Yunwen and said in a delicate voice, "What are you still doing there? Come and meet Master Qi."

Now that Zhu Yunwen's foundation is unstable, if he wants to prevent others from snatching the position of crown prince from him, he should have his own connections in the court.

"Junior Yun Wen greets Master Qi."

Zhu Yunwen also knew his mother's intention, so he walked up and showed respect to Qi Tai as a junior.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Qi Tai was still somewhat grateful to the eldest grandson of the emperor who had just stood up to support him. Seeing Zhu Yunwen offering such a great gift, he quickly declined.

"Yun Wen saw how Lord Qi Tai pleaded for the people and argued for his rights just now."

Zhu Yunwen also took this opportunity to start flattering Qi Tai.

"It's a pity that Qi Tai is still not very knowledgeable and could not think of such a good idea as the little emperor's grandson."

Just talking about what he just said, Qi Tai sighed helplessly.

He usually thinks highly of himself and never expected to be convinced by a little kid, so he felt so disappointed just now.

However, he did not hold a grudge against Zhu Ming. As long as it could benefit the people, it was a good thing.

"Even a wise man can make mistakes. Sir Qi Tai, don't take it to heart."

Zhu Yunwen also immediately began to calm Qi Tai's emotions.

With the comfort of Zhu Yunwen and the Crown Princess, Qi Tai sighed again and felt a little better.

"Thank you, Grandson of the Emperor and Crown Princess, for your comfort."

After his emotions calmed down, Qi Tai bowed to Zhu Yunwen and the Crown Princess with gratitude.
