Chapter 14 Old Zhu's Suspicion



If you do the math, there are still three years left, but that's still a relatively quick time.

Zhu Xiong Ying was also worried that the old couple would continue arguing, so she quickly asked, "Grandpa, what about Aunt's marriage?"

"You're such a busybody!" Old Zhu tapped Zhu Xiong Ying's head and said irritably, "We're in an awkward situation now, and your great-grandmother is nagging us all day long."

Zhu Xiong Ying said with a grin, "It's good that you're nagging now. It would be bad if Aunt entrusted the wrong person. If you ask me, it's better to find someone you know well..."

"The three of you should not meddle. I will handle this matter." Empress Ma interrupted Zhu Xiong Ying and said directly, "You all know about important matters of the court, but none of you can give me any peace of mind."

Zhu Xiong Ying felt wronged. This time, it was the emperor and the crown prince who had misjudged the situation. What did it have to do with him, the grandson of the emperor?!

Seeing that Zhu Xiong Ying had gone to sleep, Old Zhu did not go to rest with the other concubines.

"Sister, tell me, how many things are hidden in Ying'er's heart?" Old Zhu tossed and turned, saying with some worry, "We believe that our grandson will be a good emperor in the future, but we are worried that he is too tired."

Empress Ma found it somewhat amusing, yet also a little strange. "Although you dote on Biao'er, you're never afraid of him suffering. Why is it that when it comes to Ying'er, you act this way?"

"I guess it's because we're getting old and our hearts have softened," Old Zhu said with a sigh. "Ying'er has been sensible since he was little, and we love him. After all, he's our own grandson!"

Empress Ma understood that in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Crown Prince Zhu Biao was his own son. Or rather, Zhu Biao was the son of Zhu Chongba (Zhu Yuanzhang's father). As for the other sons, they were the sons of the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the affection for them was different.

Because of the saying "love me, love my dog," Zhu Xiong Ying's grandson is naturally considered his biological grandson.

Moreover, both Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiong Ying demonstrated intelligence and potential that greatly pleased Zhu Yuanzhang. He had every reason to believe that the empire he had painstakingly built would flourish under the rule of his descendants, and that the Ming dynasty would surely be passed down to future generations!

Zhu Xiong Ying continued to play the role of a good grandson of the crown prince, while his aunt was given the title of Princess Anqing and married Liu Zhi, the eldest grandson of Liu Bowen and the eldest son of Liu Lian, the Minister of State Affairs, amidst Zhu's stern disapproval.

This is also a 'coincidence'. Liu Zhi is currently twenty years old, but he was first observing mourning for Liu Bowen. Just after the mourning period ended, Liu Zhi's father clashed with Hu Weiyong's faction and was forced to jump into a well and die. He has just finished observing mourning for Liu Bowen.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang disliked Liu Bowen, he had no choice but to accept it.

Zhu Xiong Ying watched with amusement, offering no comment. This Liu Zhi, surely he wasn't that arrogant and short-sighted.

Zhuge Liang led the Three Kingdoms period, while Liu Bowen unified the country.

Although Liu Bowen is somewhat mythologized here, his talent is undeniable, and there are too many stories about him.

Liu Bowen may not have seen it, but his grandson shouldn't be too bad either.
