Chapter 53: God will help those who help themselves, and God will abandon those who abandon themselves!
Hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned: "Don't be rude!"
"Father has his own reasons for what he does. How dare we, the son-in-laws, dare to point fingers at our father?"
"Forget it this time, if you dare to talk nonsense to your father in the future, even if your father forgives you, I will never forgive you, brother!"
Maybe you feel that your words are a bit heavy.
Zhu Biao stood up and sat next to Zhu Ping, caressed his back, and hinted: "He who helps himself will be helped by God; whoever abandons himself will be abandoned by God!"
"What?"
Zhu Ming looked up at Zhu Biao blankly, confused.
"Nothing!"
Zhu Biao did not explain and continued: "Second brother, do your own thing boldly. There is a big brother outside to help you. I will definitely help you do what you want to do."
"Brother knows that you admire Mr. Lin. In fact, Gu also has a very fond impression of Mr. Lin!"
"When you have time, please ask Mr. Lin to give you more lectures, and then write them down for Gu to see."
Hearing this, Zhu Ping's spirit perked up and he said loudly: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. When did eldest brother lie to you?"
Seeing that Zhu Ping's energy had recovered, Zhu Biao soothed and said: "Just do your thing boldly, the sky won't fall!"
"Brother, I promise you!"
Seeing that the prince supported him, Zhu Xi was very excited and made up his mind:
"Thank you bro!"
"As long as I can rescue Mr. Lin, I can do anything my brother asks me to do!"
Zhu Biao patted Zhu Xi on the back, with a hint in his eyes: Big brother can only help you so far, and then you will have to explain everything, and the rest is up to you.
……
at the same time.
The entrance to the Duke of Wei's mansion.
"No...girl, which palace are you going to now?"
"If anything happens, just ask your dad to run for you!"
"Oh! You're not going to the emperor to cancel the engagement, are you? If you really want to cancel the engagement, you have to have dad do it for you. How can any girl go there?"
Xu Da pulled the reins of the horse and looked up at Xu Miaoyun who was riding on the horse.
Xu Miaoyun was riding on the horse with great grace, shook the reins and said: "Dad, a daughter has her own reasons for going to the palace!"
"Since the Emperor asked his daughter to choose one of the three princes, we naturally have to make it clear in person!"
"My daughter doesn't want to get married in such a stupid way!"
"Dad, don't worry, your daughter has her own sense of discretion!"
Xu Da: "..."
Imperial Palace, Jinshen Hall.
"My maid, Xu Miaoyun, pays homage to Your Majesty. May you pay your respects!"
"Well, I'm fine, get up!"
Looking at Xu Miaoyun kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed with a smile:
"Come on, give me a seat!"
"Go quickly, call the queen over, tell her that her future wife is here, and tell her to hurry up!"
Seeing Liu He hurriedly out the door, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile:
"Miaoyun! The Queen talks about you every day, saying that this girl has not come to the palace to see her for a long time. If you don't come to the palace, the Queen will go to the Duke's Mansion to see you!"
"No, I'm just nagging you."
"By the way, why didn't your father come with you?"
Xu Miaoyun bowed slightly, performed a thousand blessings, and then said slowly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, for caring about me. I deserve it!"
"These days, my father is mostly busy with military affairs in the military camp, and everyone has to take care of all the big and small things in the palace. My daughter is busy with some housework, so I can't come to pay my respects to the queen. I hope that your majesty and the queen will forgive me!"
"Today, my father is busy with military affairs, so I came here alone to visit His Majesty and the Queen!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile:
"It's okay, Queen, I just haven't seen you Miaoyun for a long time and I miss you very much."
"From now on, if I have time to go to the palace to accompany the queen more often, she will definitely be very happy!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xu Miaoyun leaned forward and nodded slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the elegant Xu Miaoyun, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it:
"My daughter is only eighteen this year, right?" "Tiande has been away at war all these years. As a girl, you have to take care of all the affairs of the Duke's palace and take care of your younger brothers and sisters. It's not easy!"
Mrs. Xu left early, and Xu Da was away at war all year round. When she was a child, Xu Miaoyun was taken by Queen Ma to raise her, and she was considered half a daughter.
Xu Miaoyun also went to school with the princes.
As Miaoyun grew up, the number of times she went to the palace to visit Queen Ma became less and less.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty, this is what Miaoyun should do!"
Xu Miaoyun smiled, nodded and said: "My father is a soldier. It is his bounden duty to fight on the battlefield and kill the enemy to serve the country."
"I only regret that I am not a man, otherwise I should join my father in fighting the enemy and be loyal to the country!"
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but applaud and said:
"well said!"
"As expected of the general's daughter!"
"Although Miaoyun is a girl, she has the same blood as your father!"
"Okay!"
After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh:
"Daughter, think about those bastards in our family. They are neither civilized nor martial. I am afraid they are not worthy of you!"
"Tian De is so lucky to have raised such a good daughter!"
Facing the emperor's praise, Xu Miaoyun smiled slightly and said calmly: "Your Majesty is overrated!"
"My daughter is nothing more than a female figure, and she is not worthy of your majesty's praise!"
"Whether it is to protect the family or the country, or to govern the country and bring peace to the country, you will have to rely on the crown prince and other princes from now on. This is your majesty's blessing!"
Xu Miaoyun's respectful and humble answer made Zhu Yuanzhang sigh again.
I have to admit that this girl from the Xu family is much smarter than her father in speaking.
Just as he was talking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.
Before anyone arrived, the voice had already come in: "Oh, my Miaoyun is here!"
"You really want to die as a mother!"
When she reached the door, Queen Ma shook off the maid's support and stepped forward quickly with a smile on her face.
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyun quickly stood up to greet him.
"Hurry up and let me take a good look at it. It's been a long time since you girl came to the palace to see me as your mother!"
Empress Ma has always treated Xu Miaoyun like a daughter, and she also calls her mother!
Empress Ma's face was full of doting, she caressed Xu Miaoyun's thin shoulders, and carefully looked at that delicate face.
"She is really changing! She looks different every day! It's only been a few months since we last met, and this girl has become even more beautiful!"
"Well, I just lost a little weight!"
"I heard that you, girl, take care of the Duke's mansion all by yourself. How hard it is!"
"This Tian De, why don't you find someone to help you? Look at how tired our girl is!"
As soon as Queen Ma came up, she praised Xu Miaoyun fiercely, and then complained again.
Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned slightly red and she said softly: "Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. There are a lot of chores in the house, so I'm not tired."
"You're still hiding it from your mother, you're already so thin, and you're not tired yet!"
Queen Ma pretended to be angry and said:
"Except for things in the house, your younger brothers and sisters are all counting on you to take care of them!"
"This Tiande can't be renewed, but I can always help you!"
"Girl, Tian De doesn't care about this matter. I will take care of it. When you go back, I will select a few maids who are capable of doing things and take them back with you."
"How can such a big Duke's mansion rely on you, girl, to do everything on your own..."
Queen Ma kept chattering as soon as she came in. Seeing Xu Miaoyun's embarrassed face, Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fist in front of his lips and cleared his throat:
"cough--"
"Cough-cough-"
Empress Ma understood immediately, turned her head and glared at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said unhappily: "What are you coughing for?"
"If you don't feel well, go to the doctor immediately!"
"Don't interfere with our chat here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
