If not abolished

Qianqing Palace

"Your Majesty." Zhu Zhanji really rushed here, taking only half the time it usually takes.

"Agui, come here." Zhu Di walked down, took Zhu Zhanji's hand and said affectionately.

Zhu Zhanji was confused. "Grandpa Emperor is in a hurry to call his grandson here. Is there something important?"

Zhu Di first asked: "How is your arrangement for Cuju going?"

"We are almost ready. We will start training in a few days. Grandpa Emperor, would you like to watch? We are training in the martial arts arena and you can come over anytime."

"No, no, well, early this morning your second uncle, right, came to ask you if there were any vacancies for Cuju. So, I specifically asked you to come and ask. Have the participants been chosen?" After Zhu Di finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Zhanji.

"Second uncle wants to participate?" Zhu Zhanji asked puzzledly.

"What is he thinking? Why would he participate when he is that old? He wants to squeeze Zhan He and Zhan Qi in, what do you think?"

Zhu Zhanji did not reply immediately. He pretended to think for a while and said, "Is that all?"

"As for this matter, if you think it's not possible, I will reject him. I have already told him that if you don't agree with it, don't even think about it."

"Zhanhe is fine, but Zhanqi is a little young. Cuju requires a lot of running and falling. If he gets hurt, his uncle will be sad." Zhu Zhanji gave a preventive speech first.

"He is a little younger than you, but he is also eleven or twelve years old, not too young. It is normal for boys to fall and fight. You don't have to feel burdened and worry about getting injured when you fell down while riding a horse or shooting arrows at your age. This is a grace that your second uncle asked for himself. You can just lead the training. If they are not capable, just replace them. Otherwise, it will be a disgrace to our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Di reassured him.

"Since Grandpa Huang has said so, I can't say anything. I can take my two younger brothers to play, but I have to say this first. If they can't practice well, then I won't let them play."

"Of course. When they get there, they will follow your arrangements. If they don't obey, you can just scold them." Zhu Di gave him all the power.

"After all, he is my grandson's cousin. How can I scold him casually? When my second uncle finds out, he will scold me." Zhu Zhanji looked afraid.

"Just go ahead and do it. Your second uncle has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, then tell Uncle Er to let them report to me in two days."

"Okay, okay, okay. Oh, you don't know. Your second uncle was crying in front of me early in the morning about this matter. It was really inconsiderate. I even wanted to kick him twice." Zhu Di complained to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji thought that the scene was funny, but his second uncle had always been a funny person. He had fought for that position all his life, but missed it again and again. He finally made up his mind to rebel, but when he heard that the attack was coming, he immediately sneaked out of the city to surrender. He had no backbone at all and even tripped him later... Zhu Zhanji shook his head when he thought of those things.

"Agui, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Di saw that he didn't speak for a long time.

"Nothing, I just thought it was a little funny that my second uncle, who is so old, would cry in front of the emperor."

"That's it, he's that big now."

"Is there anything else besides this that made Grandpa Huang so anxious to ask me to come here?"

"No, that's it."

"Then I will take my leave now. I haven't finished the homework that the teacher gave me yet."

"Well go ahead."

After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji did not return to the Qingyun Palace immediately, but went straight to the Yiku Palace.

"Grandmother Wang."

"You come here suddenly, is there something urgent?" Concubine Wang saw him coming over in a hurry.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the people around him.

"All of you go down." Concubine Wang dismissed her attendants.

"Now you can tell me, what's the hurry?"

"My grandson would like to ask Grandmother Wang to suggest that we hire a female teacher to teach the new ladies who have just entered the palace."

"Is there no precedent for this?"

"That's why my grandson came to ask you if there is any way to make this happen."

"Is this something that's important in your plans?"

"It's very important. We originally needed to make some other preparations, but now all we need is this east wind."

"If that's the case, I'll give it a try. The main thing is to get His Majesty's approval. Will all the ladies participate?"

"Yes, it's not appropriate to let a few people go alone. Fortunately, everyone goes so that if something goes wrong, it won't arouse suspicion."

"Actually, the main target is the Sun family, right?"

"nature."

"I understand. Will the other arrangements remain the same as before?"

"Well, everything else is as usual."

"it is good."

"Then my grandson will go first."

"Well, be careful and don't get entangled again." Concubine Wang reminded.

"clear."

on the way back.

"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood." Wu Cheng clearly felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's steps had become much lighter.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "It's really good."

"If your Highness is happy, I will be happy too."

"Just flatter me."

I was still thinking about how to quickly get rid of Sun Ruoji, but I didn't expect that my second uncle personally brought this opportunity to him. If it weren't for today's incident, he would have almost forgotten that he still had these cousins. Zhu Zhanhe had no use value, but his good second uncle's second son was a talent. He had been at odds with his second uncle since he was a child. When the emperor was alive, he handed memorials to the emperor all day long to tell him about his father's various illegal and disorderly behaviors. The second uncle was also aware of these actions. Later, the second uncle was forced to become a vassal. Zhu Zhanqi stayed in the capital and delivered news to the second uncle seven or eight times a day. However, I don't know how much of this news is true or false. The emperor finally left an imperial edict to make him the prince. The second uncle immediately disagreed and began to sue his son for being unfilial. In short, his cousin is incredible. He must make good use of him this time. There will be a big show to watch in the future.

Wu Cheng didn't know what His Royal Highness was thinking of. That smile, how to say it, was a little bit vulgar in his happiness. What was he talking about? In short, it was hard to describe. It felt like His Royal Highness was plotting against someone. The person being plotted was really miserable.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Zhu Zhanji turned his head and saw Wu Cheng staring at him. No matter how to describe it, it was not a good look.

"Your Highness, forgive me."

"By the way, how's the thing I asked you to do going?"

"The master said that the things you want will take at least a month to get. It's too late to get them before Miss Hu's birthday. How about you think of another gift?"

“Can’t we drive them out even with a few more people?” Zhu Zhanji said worriedly.

"That's a delicate job, there's no rush."

Zhu Zhanji frowned. He had finally decided what to give as a gift. He couldn't miss it again like he did last year.

"Shan Xiang may not be interested in other things, and she will definitely not want anything from the palace."
