Chapter 38 Come to Apologize
Zhu Biao played happily outside all afternoon, returned to the palace, asked the other princes if they had come back, and when they heard that they hadn't come back, Zhu Biao went back to his room and took a hot bath.
He also asked Yunjin to change into an expensive red and white gold silk scroll cloud robe, with a small black dragon pattern shirt on the inside, jade-encrusted cloud boots on his feet, a belt of twenty-four sapphires around his waist, and a red thread tied with black ink on the side. Jade pan dragon pendant.
Zhu Biao ignored the cannibalistic eyes of the little girls, took a look at the sky, and then stepped to the front yard to wait. After a while, he saw a group of flustered servants surrounded by a few triumphant boys walking over.
When those servants saw Zhu Biao, their legs went limp. Zhu Biao ignored them and looked carefully at his brothers to make sure that they were not injured.
Before Zhu Biao could ask, the third child, Zhu Yan, proudly expressed his merits: "Brother, you don't know! Just now we told those guys about what we played yesterday, and they were all quite envious. It's that Li Mao, what's wrong with him?" Amazing look."
"We ignored him. After a while, that guy didn't know why he went crazy, but he actually said that you are a nerd, big brother. It's nothing special. We started fighting with them as soon as we heard it!"
The rest hurriedly interfaced and said, "I'll go up and call too."
It’s all a little expression that I’ve worked hard, brother, you want to reward us.
Zhu Biao heard it with a smile and knew that it was probably Li Mao who was a little unconvinced when he saw that the limelight had been robbed at the beginning, but when he said this sentence later, it must be Zhu Xi who went to provoke him.
"Did it hurt you?"
The servants behind quickly climbed up: "If you come back to the son, how dare we hurt the young masters, we will step forward to protect the young masters as soon as there is a fight."
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Go down, it's none of your business."
Zhu Biao asked again: "Then are they injured?"
Zhu Xi said: "Li Mao and the others are many people. Although they didn't dare to hit us, they also protected him. Fortunately, the fourth brother hit Li Mao with a black eye while they were not paying attention."
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Di when he heard the words, and thought that he deserved to be Yongle, and the attack was ruthless.
Haven't waited for Zhu Biao to speak. I saw a few carriages coming outside, both men and women were leading a child. When they saw Zhu Biao, they hurried forward: "I have seen the son of the world, I will come here to apologize."
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "It's just a child playing around, why don't you talk about apologizing and please go back."
Zhu Biaoke politely sent them away, glanced at Zhu Xi and saw him shaking his head, and asked the concierge at the side: "Can you see someone from the Li family?"
The concierge replied: "There is a butler coming. He was at the back just now. The son may not have noticed."
Zhu Biao nodded and looked cold. If everyone didn’t come, it’s fine. Everyone else brought their children to plead guilty in person. The Li family only sent one housekeeper. Even if it’s just a small matter, it’s disrespectful!
Zhu Biao said to his younger brothers with a gentle face: "Since I made a black eye, we have to come to apologize."
Those few looked at each other in dismay: "Brother, it's enough if we don't let Li Mao come to apologize, there is no such thing as us coming to apologize!"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth brother, do you want to go with brother, if not, let your second brother go for you."
Seven-year-old Zhu Di is not afraid of getting into trouble: "Brother, I'll go with you."
The third child, Zhu Yan, hurriedly stopped him, and said to Zhu Biao in dissatisfaction: "Brother, there is no reason to go. The Li family is very powerful, but we can compare it with others. After all, they are not courtiers. How can we apologize!"
The second child, Zhu Yu, grabbed him and said, "Let's go, brother has his own plans."
Zhu Biao took Zhu Di's hand and left the palace. Zhang Yuan parked a carriage at the gate, and there were hundreds of people following him shadowily.
Waiting to get into the carriage, Zhu Di looked at his elder brother who had begun to close his eyes and meditate, full of questions.
But seeing that Zhu Biao had no intention of speaking, Zhu Di had no choice but to sit obediently.
After a short distance, I arrived at Li's Mansion. From a distance, I looked at the foggy swamp, and the tile kiln was four-year-old, just like a brick.
On the other hand, it is a shadow wall with polished bricks facing each other; the Lubei Guangliang gate has a door lamp on the top and a lazy stool on the bottom.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate, Zhu Biao didn't get out of the carriage in a hurry, so he sat in the carriage, and someone went up to report.
Not long after, I heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching: "My minister, Li Shanchang, welcomes your son.
Only then did Zhu Biao pull Zhu Di out of the carriage and said to Li Shanchang, "I'm bothering Mr. Li. This time, I came here to plead guilty to Mr. Li. My younger brother actually injured the son of your family. Biao hereby apologizes for my younger brother. Li Gong apologized."
Zhu Biao was about to bend down after finishing speaking, Li Shanchang grabbed Zhu Biao: "I am terrified, how dare I ask the prince to apologize, I just returned to the mansion, and I don't know about it, otherwise I would have gone to the mansion to plead guilty to the lord."
Zhu Biao smiled, the subtext of pleading guilty to the prince is that you are not qualified to let me, Li Shanchang, come to apologize.
After Li Shanchang finished speaking, he turned his head and didn't ask which grandson it was, so he drank directly, "Go and put him in the firewood room to face the wall and think about his mistakes. Don't give him food without the old man's order."
Zhu Biao said with a gentle face: "I'm the one who apologized later, how can I let the young master be punished again, please forgive me, Mr. Li."
Li Shanchang bent down and asked them to go in, Gu Zuo said rightly: "Why does the son call the minister a public? This is not in harmony with dignity, and please change the words, the son, don't humiliate the minister."
Zhu Biao stepped into Li's mansion: "Mr. Li, don't be humble. With your contribution, isn't it a matter of course to be named Duke of the state? I heard that the founding ceremony is less than two months away. Congratulations in advance Mr. Li."
Li Shanchang didn't dare to talk, Zhu Biao looked at the magnificent and elegant layout around him. Compared with Xingong, it was naturally worse than Xingong, but it was better than Wu Wangfu.
The smile on Zhu Biao's face increased a bit, and he said to Li Shanchang who was beside him: "Mr. Li's mansion is really grand, it's really enviable."
Li Shanchang laughed a few times: "Your Majesty, why should you be impatient, your East Palace was built by me. I referred to various ancient documents, and invited the best craftsmen. I will definitely satisfy my Majesty."
Zhu Biao shook his head and walked into the main hall. There was a huge landscape painting hanging inside, with a delicate red sandalwood table underneath. Li Shanchang naturally let Zhu Biao sit on the top, Zhu Di sat under Zhu Biao, and he sat on the table. Opposite Zhu Biao.
Zhang Yuan did not sit down, but stood behind Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea he had just served, and glanced at Zhu Di who was sitting upright: "Fourth is drinking tea, you have been playing all day, you must be thirsty."
Li Shanchang also interjected: "But it doesn't suit the fourth son's taste?"
Zhu Di had no choice but to pick up the teacup and drink it silently. Then Zhu Biao started to talk to Li Shanchang. This is an old fox.
The fact that Zhu Biao personally led his younger brother to apologize will soon spread, making Li Shanchang's momentum intensify.
At that time, the followers of power or Li Shanchang's political opponents will naturally increase their firepower to promote Li Shanchang's momentum, while his real confidants will try their best to suppress it.
At that time, who is who is clear at a glance.
If Li Shanchang is smart, he will know that he should defile himself, and he will take the initiative to give up the competition for the prime minister, and honestly receive the title of a duke for retirement.
As for Zhu Biao's own reputation, he is only twelve years old, and he is the future heir apparent. It's just that his younger brother hit someone, and he led him to the door late at night to apologize. What a benevolence.
Zhu Biao followed suit for a while, and then led Zhu Di to leave.
Li Shanchang personally supported Zhu Biao into the carriage, and stood there respectfully watching the carriage leave.
Watching the carriage turn, the peaceful smile on his face faded, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared quickly.
Looking at the family members around him: "Be more honest in the future, and never conflict with the palace. If there is any conflict, please notify me immediately."
Li Shanchang's wife frowned and said: "It's just a child playing around, even the eldest son came to the door in person, why are you upset.
Li Shanchang didn't talk anymore, the most stupid thing in the world is arguing with him knowing that the other party is an idiot.

Thank you all (＾ω＾)
