Chapter 240 Announcement of Marriage
"I almost forgot, there is another big announcement today."
Zhu Yuanzhang placed Xu Miaojin's hand on Zhu Ming's hand, patted it earnestly, and smiled at the many ministers present: "Old Xu Da can't come, I have already said it for him."
"We have decided to give Jin'er to our beloved grandson. When the two little ones grow up, we will get married!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he brought Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin together again.
Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin looked at each other and lowered their heads together.
Even Zhu Ming, who was usually thick-skinned, blushed and didn't know what to say.
Although they had known for a long time that Zhu Yuanzhang would announce their engagement today.
But when it really happened, I still blushed and felt embarrassed.
"Jin'er, when we were discussing this..."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Miaojin and Zhu Ming who both lowered their heads, and then he began to persuade them earnestly.
"At that time I said, as long as Jin'er girl doesn't think it's okay, forget about the marriage."
After he finished speaking, he squatted down and looked into Xu Miaojin's eyes: "Jin'er girl, are you willing?"
Before Xu Miaojin could speak, Zhu Ming spoke up: "Grandpa Emperor..."
"I didn't ask you, just stay aside."
Zhu Yuanzhang just gave Zhu Ming a cold look and sent him away.
Then he continued to look at Xu Miaojin.
"I...will."
Xu Miaojin had completely lost her previous carefree attitude and responded in a mosquito-like voice.
"You're lucky, little brat."
Hearing that Xu Miaojin was willing, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and tapped Zhu Ming's head with his hand.
In fact, ever since he knew Xu Miaojin was going to Shanxi, he knew that this would definitely succeed.
Jin'er is such a good girl, this silly boy should just be happy.
Lu and Zhu Di, who were standing by, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang holding Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin's hands together, and a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes.
Even though he had known for a long time that Xu Da and the entire Huaixi nobles were behind Xu Miaojin, he still felt unwilling to accept it when he saw with his own eyes that they were moving closer to Zhu Ming's side.
Looking at the two boys whose faces were red with shame, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily a few times.
This is the road I have paved for this brat.
They celebrated Zhu Ming's success, got engaged, and had a great night.
Even the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang drank until he was drunk.
These civil and military officials completely lost their restraint and became even more noisy.
When the first watch sounded, the ministers, who were still unsatisfied, gradually quieted down.
No matter how happy you are today, you still have government affairs to deal with after you wake up.
After the ministers who attended the banquet left, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already drunk and unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
"Tomorrow, Crown Princess, you stay."
He spoke calmly, not sounding drunk at all.
"Grandpa Emperor, you are not..."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wake up, the two people named by him immediately turned around in shock.
"You two, do you have something to talk about?"
Zhu Yuanzhang just sat up straight and looked at them seriously.
From the way they both seemed to be hesitant to speak, he knew that Zhu Ming and Lu were definitely not just wishing them well.
It was just because there were so many people around that he didn't expose it.
Now that everyone has left, it's time for them to get down to business.
Their purpose was seen through, Zhu Ming and Lu looked at each other and simply stopped pretending.
"Grandpa Emperor, we still want you to release our brother."
Zhu Ming bowed towards Zhu Yuanzhang and saluted.
"I, your son, also beg you, father, to release Zhu Yunhuan from the imperial prison."
Seeing that Zhu Mingdu had spoken, Lu also bowed and joined him in bowing to Zhu Yuanzhang and begging.
“It is indeed this matter.”
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, he was right in guessing what the two of them meant.
"Ming'er, the last time you came to see me, it was probably about this matter, right?"
He looked at Zhu Ming who lowered his head and asked with a smile.
Ever since Zhu Ming and Lu came to Daming Palace to find him last time, he already knew their purpose.
Zhu Yuanzhang had completely seen through his purpose, so Zhu Ming didn't say anything more.
He just bent over, clasped his hands, and didn't move.
"I said that."
He watched as Lu and Zhu Ming fell silent, acting as if they would not move unless he agreed.
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered again, "I said, unless that kid admits his mistake, he won't be able to get out of the prison."
He has already made up his mind about this matter and will never change it easily.
"My brother knows he is wrong."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming immediately responded.
What he was waiting for was Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
"He also wrote a letter of apology and asked me to pass it to Grandpa Huang."
As Zhu Ming spoke, he quickly took out the letter of apology written by Zhu Yunhuan from his arms and placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Yun Qi was about to step forward to hand it over, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
He stood up, walked over personally, took the letter and started reading it.
"This boy."
Looking at the letter of apology in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang finally smiled with relief.
"Grandpa Emperor, can you let my brother come out now?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang laughing, Zhu Ming quickly took advantage of the situation and started asking more questions.
"Since Yunxun has admitted his mistake, Father should let him out."
Lu was shocked that Zhu Ming actually found a way to make Zhu Yunhuan admit his mistake, so she took the opportunity to speak up and persuade Zhu Yuanzhang together with Zhu Ming.
"The prison is cold and damp, full of mosquitoes. If we keep him there any longer, I'm afraid something might happen."
Zhu Yuanzhang was also aware of the terrible environment in the imperial prison.
Now that Lu brought up the issue, he couldn't help but become shaken.
Besides, he didn't want to keep Zhu Yunhuan locked up anyway, and now Zhu Ming and Lu came together to plead for mercy, so he sighed.
After all, he is Zhu Biao's son, so we definitely can't let him get into trouble by locking him up.
"That's it, that's all."
He waved his hand and handed the letter of apology to Zhu Ming: "Take this letter of apology back. It is not sincere at all."
"This……"
Zhu Ming was suddenly in a dilemma.
He also didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang could see so quickly that Zhu Yunhuan's letter of apology was not written sincerely.
In this case, won’t Zhu Yunhuan have to be imprisoned for a while longer?
"Two Tigers..."
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Ming and just looked back at Erhu: "Let him go tomorrow."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly, then turned around and left with Yunqi.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"
Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment before he reacted and shouted towards Zhu Yuanzhang's departing back.
Zhu Yuanzhang paused as he left and laughed secretly: "This stinky boy..."
But he didn't look back, and disappeared from Zhu Ming's sight in a turn.
"Now, you have got what you wished for."
After seeing Zhu Ming off, Lu stood up and sneered at Zhu Ming.
