After all, Zhu Kai was a time traveler, and he knew that the name he chose would definitely pass Zhu Yuanzhang's test.

After all, in history, Zhu Di’s biological brother was named this, a very difficult name to pronounce, Zhu Su.

When Zhu Kai heard Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, he was not surprised or shocked. He just spoke modestly.

"Father, I can only do this once. If you ask me to think of another name again, I won't be able to think of one."

"Then you should read more books.

It is useless to just know how to lead troops to fight. Moreover, fighting is not just about brute force, but also about brains. A true general does not go to the battlefield himself, but knows how to command the battle. "

"Father is absolutely right."

Empress Ma was a little surprised. She could feel that Zhu Kai had a very special feeling for Zhu Di and seemed to be better towards him.

"Zhu Kai, when Zhu Di came back yesterday, he was very anxious to see his mother. Today he finally saw her, and you took good care of him in the border area.

However, why is it that this child becomes more and more taciturn as he grows older?

When he was little, he was very lively and liked to be around you, but now he is very different. You have to think carefully about why.

Was it because Zhu Di was unhappy living in the border area for more than a year, or was it because he left his mother at a young age and missed her so much that his personality changed drastically?
Although he is not my biological son, he is the emperor's biological son. Since I have noticed that something is wrong with him, I must figure out why in advance. If it is related to his physical condition, I must find a royal doctor for him."

When Zhu Kai saw that Empress Ma cared so much about other people's sons, he was very moved. It seemed that Empress Ma really deserved all the praises she had received in history.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some concern after hearing this.

"Zhu Di has had this kind of personality since he was young. Perhaps it's because of his biological mother's identity, which always makes him seem ashamed in front of other princes."

“Father, Queen Mother, I think you two have completely misunderstood.

Zhu Di, the reason why he has such a personality now is entirely because he has grown up. His personality is inherently introverted and he is not good at speaking.

However, during the more than one year he followed General Lan Yu, he did make great progress, and defeating Wang Baobao was one of his great achievements.

He followed General Lan Yu and learned many skills in leading troops and fighting battles. Don't ignore his responsibilities to the court because of his silence.

If you don't believe it, you can go ask General Lan Yu.

I believe he has the same evaluation of Zhu Di. My younger brother is really outstanding. He has achieved what he has today at such a young age.

It's really unusual. Maybe this is what they mean by "like father, like son".

This is because we know very well that we have such an outstanding father who gave birth to such an outstanding son. "

Zhu Kai's flattery made Zhu Yuanzhang so happy that he didn't want to leave.

That's right, even if he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who didn't like to hear good words? Zhu Kai knew this, so he was able to eat so well in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he laughed and said nothing more.

He looked up and saw that the moon was already high in the sky. He thought it must be almost three o'clock in the morning. However, all his sons had returned, and he had just drunk some of Zhu Kai's tea, so Zhu Yuanzhang was not sleepy at all.

On the other hand, Zhu Kai, a young man who was full of energy, had been yawning for a long time.

Like Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma was an older person who did not need as much sleep.

"Eunuch Wang, what time is it now?"

"Reporting, Your Majesty, it is already the end of the Chou hour."

"Oh, it's already so late.

No wonder Zhu Kai was yawning all the time. He had just come back these two days and hadn't had a good rest. Since it was already so late, he had to get ready quickly.

Go to the house next door and prepare a room for Zhu Kai. Let him stay here and have a good rest. It's already so dark, so don't leave the palace. Sleep in early tomorrow morning and come to court on time the day after tomorrow to discuss state affairs with us."

"Father, are you sleepy now?"

"What kind of special milk tea did you make just now? Now I don't feel sleepy at all, I'm so energetic."

Zhu Kai yawned and said.

"Father, you may not be sleepy, but I am. I can hardly open my eyes. How about this? I will go back to my own residence soon and will not stay in the palace today."

"It's already so late. It would be a waste of time for you to go back to your own residence. It's also not safe. The prince is staying here tonight.

You brothers are reunited now. Just take a day off tomorrow morning and then we'll talk about it later.

Are you worried about Xu Miaoyun being alone at home? This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor, what is there to worry about? Is there anyone who dares to break into your mansion without permission and harm your princess?"

Zhu Kai thought that it was okay now, but after he had completely offended Hu Weiyong and Liao Yongzhong, it would be too dangerous for him to stay in the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhu Kai didn't say anything else. Before coming to the palace, he had already told Xu Miaoyun that he would most likely have to stay in the palace today, so he let him go to bed early at home alone.

If he didn't stay today, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely think more. In order to avoid any rift between them, since Zhu Yuanzhang had already said so, Zhu Kai had no choice but to refuse.

"Well, father, you are right. After all, this is Yingtian Prefecture, under the feet of the emperor. Who would dare to do anything excessive?
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere today. I'll stay in the palace and have a good reunion with these brothers. Since my eldest brother is staying here too, I'll go find them."

"That is, you went to bed late. They should have gone to bed long ago. But I still have to advise you not to rush to see Zhu Chong."

"Father, do you think he will lose his temper with me? Probably not. He has been with me for more than a year and is very obedient. He has changed his bad habits a long time ago. It's not like what you said.

Even if he knew that he was going to marry Wang Baobao's sister as a marriage alliance, he probably wouldn't do anything excessive. "

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the father, could not explain why Zhu Kai attached so much importance to Zhu Di. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that Wang Baobao had once come to Zhu Kai to talk about his sister Wang Baobao when they were in the border area.

Zhu Kai thought that since there was nothing else to do, he should go back quickly.

Since he had to stay in the palace tonight, he had to go to bed early. No one knew what would happen in the palace tomorrow morning. Zhu Kai grew up in the palace, and he knew the rules too well.

Don't even think about sleeping in early in the morning.

How could it be as comfortable as resting in one's own mansion? This was exactly why he didn't want to stay tonight.

Zhu Kai lives a modern life. He can stay up late and sleep in as late as he wants, but he doesn't like to get up early. Even Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying know about his habit and have criticized him more than once.

"Father, Mother, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first."

"Are you still unwilling to get up early in the morning like before?
I have told you many times, and taught you since you were young, that the morning is the beginning of the day, but you don’t get up early in the morning, and you are still lying in bed when the sun is already high in the sky.”

When Zhu Kai heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he lowered his head embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly.

"Father, please don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean that.

I just feel that I am a little too tired and want to go back and rest early. Since I am in the palace, I have to abide by the palace rules. If I were in my own residence, I could sleep as late as I want.

However, I still have to take care of my father and mother in the palace and never make you angry. If you knew that I couldn't get out of bed again, you would definitely blame me again."

Ma Xiuying also felt sorry for her son. She knew that Zhu Kai had been very hard-working over the past year. He had to fight Wang Baobao in the border area and deal with people's livelihood issues in the border area.

It is absolutely impossible to say that he gets up late every morning.

Because these things are too complicated and the workload is too heavy, Zhu Kai may have to deal with these things at least every day, which may take several hours.

If he hadn't gotten up in the morning, he wouldn't have been able to govern the border area so well in just over a year.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Kai finally came back to rest for a few days, so let him sleep a few more days. He has been like this since he was a child, sleeping late at night. We go to bed early at night, so we naturally get up early in the morning."

Zhu Kai was also nodding frantically beside him, and then blurted out.

"That's not good! According to science, people need to sleep for about six hours a day. Although I get up late in the morning, it's because I have to go to bed around midnight every day."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were both confused after hearing this.

"What is science? What does science say?"

When Zhu Kai saw their surprised expressions, he knew that he had just blurted out something they couldn't understand. He immediately covered his mouth with both hands and made a surprised expression.

"What science shows is what the medical books say, not something I made up."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Kai say this, he immediately couldn't help laughing.

"Medical books? It seems that you have made great progress in this period of time. You have stopped reading military strategies and started reading medical books instead?"

"Um... Father, please don't say that. I want to be a comprehensive talent. Anyway, there's nothing to do here, so I'll just read more books."

Zhu Kai thought to himself what else he could do besides reading. There were no computers or mobile phones at that time, but there were too few entertainment activities, so he could only read.

He suddenly understood why the ancients loved reading so much, because there were really no other entertainment activities, and their schedules were completely different.

It is true that they go to bed early because there is no electricity, and of course there is no nightlife. They have plenty of time to do these things to improve themselves, and their lifestyle is very slow.

No wonder there is a line in a song that goes “Life in the past passed slowly, transportation and mail were slow, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person.”

I live this slow lifestyle now. After all, Zhu Kai is a time traveler.

He suddenly went from a fast-paced modern life to such an ancient life. Even after so many years, he could not fully understand and accept it.

At this moment, Ma Xiuying suddenly remembered something and quickly told Zhu Kai.

“I heard that Wang Baobao once mentioned his sister Guanyinnu to you before he came to the capital.

Logically speaking, you have been in contact with each other quite a lot in the border area for more than a year, so why didn't you think of leaving Wang Baobao's sister behind?"

"Mother, I dare not lie to you about what you said. Wang Baobao did tell me that he wanted to keep his sister with me.

It wasn't long before I returned to the capital, and he had specially invited me over for a drink and told me about this matter, but I brought Xu Miaoyun with me at the time."

"You mean Xu Miaoyun stopped this and didn't allow Wang Baobao's sister to stay with you?"

Zhu Kai knew that even between Empress Ma and Xu Miaoyun there might be problems with the mother-in-law-in-law relationship, so he quickly explained for Xu Miaoyun.

"Mother, please don't misunderstand that this matter has nothing to do with Xu Miaoyun. He would never stop me from taking a concubine.

He has also told me more than once that it would be better if I had more people around to take care of me.

However, you should know my personality very well. Having a princess by my side is enough for me. I am not a lustful person, so I don't need to have too many women around me.

With this kind of energy, I might as well do something more meaningful. What I want to do most is to build a career and make money. I am not interested in finding a woman at all.”

"Your father and I can finally rest assured now that you said that."

"What does Guanyin Nu think? If he really likes you and wants to marry her to Zhu Chong, this matter will be a bit embarrassing."

"Father, Guanyin Nu is just a girl. She has no decision-making power at all. She is just a tool in front of her two brothers.

What right does he have to say whether he likes it or not, let alone refuse it." (End of this chapter)
