Chapter 250 Zhu Yuanzhang is old
"We haven't seen you for a long time. We forgot you were so good at chess."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud, picked up his defeated white piece himself, raised his head and waved to Zhu Yunhuan again.
As Zhu Biao's son, it was impossible for Zhu Yunhuan to just ignore everything.
Although he felt that it was time to quit while he was ahead, it was a rare opportunity to see Zhu Yuanzhang caring about him, and it was a rare chance to get closer to Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Yunhuan slowly sat back and started playing chess with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang who had become serious, Zhu Yunhu could no longer stroll leisurely as he did when playing chess with Zhu Ming before, and had to concentrate fully.
The two men remained silent, concentrating wholeheartedly on the chessboard, until it gradually darkened, and Zhu Yunhuan barely managed to beat Zhu Yuanzhang a few games.
"Grandpa Huang, you lost again."
Zhu Yunhuan placed a black piece on the chessboard and looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang with confidence of victory.
Now is the time to demonstrate his abilities and gain Zhu Yuanzhang's respect, so naturally he will not hold back.
"Okay, okay, we underestimated you."
Zhu Yuanzhang threw the white piece in his hand down casually and admitted defeat.
He didn't win once today.
Zhu Yunhuan's chess skills really impressed him.
In the past, Zhu Yunhuan was always the least noticeable among the many royal heirs, and he was conferred the title of a prince at an early age.
Even after returning to the capital, the grandfather and grandson did not have a good chat.
"Yunxun's chess skills are still a little immature."
Zhu Yunxun shook his head modestly, stood up and began to pack up the chess pieces, but then sighed: "Compared to Brother Xiongying, I am still far behind."
When talking about Zhu Xiongying who had died suddenly, Zhu Yunheng did not call him imperial brother but elder brother, which made the relationship between them seem closer.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Xiongying's name, his movements of packing up the chess pieces froze noticeably. After putting away the white pieces with trembling hands, he sat down directly.
Zhu Xiongying is his most beloved grandson and the one who looks most like Biaoer.
But God is jealous of his talent, and he died suddenly at a young age.
Now when he heard his name, the softest scar in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was once again opened.
He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yunhun, who looked somewhat like Zhu Xiongying. He stretched out his hand with some trembling, wanting to touch Zhu Yunhun's face.
In a trance, it seemed as if I saw the shadows of Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying through Zhu Yunhuan.
"Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yunhuan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already emotionally agitated and somewhat distracted, and called out to him softly to bring him back to his senses.
He really needed to use his relationship as an elder brother and father to get closer to Zhu Yuanzhang.
But he hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would value him because of his abilities, not because he saw the shadow of his father and elder brother in him.
After hearing Zhu Yunhun's shout, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and looked at Zhu Yunhun in front of him.
"Come again, come again."
He waved his hand, pretending nothing had happened, and arranged the chess pieces, but his trembling voice betrayed him.
"It's getting late today, Yunxun should go back."
Zhu Yunhuan stood up, looked up at the sky, and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's getting late now and he should go back.
"You are returning to the capital this time..."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, calling out to Zhu Yunhuan who was about to turn around and leave, and his tone softened: "How long can you stay?"
Although he was an emperor, he was actually just a lonely man.
When Zhu Yunhuan asked this question just now, he thought of Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying who had already passed away, and he couldn't help but want these grandchildren to stay with him for a while longer.
I thought that I would have to go find Biaoer and Zhu Xiongying soon.
If you can feel more of the joy of human relationships, then feel it more.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to persuade him to stay, Zhu Yunhuan turned to look at Zhu Ming beside him, then walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang seriously.
He placed his hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand, slowed down his voice, frowned, and said: "I will stay as long as Grandpa Huang wants me to stay."
"It's really late today, Yunxun really needs to go back."
After saying that, he pulled his hand back and walked away without looking back.
When he reached the gate of the side courtyard, he stopped again, turned back and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "It was my grandson's fault about the poisonous insect."
If you have to say it, this matter was indeed my fault.
After all, it was because of my carelessness that I was framed by the Crown Princess's people and thrown into prison.
If it happens again, he will definitely hide it perfectly.
After the ceremony, Zhu Yunhuan walked out of the side courtyard without looking back.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunhuan's back disappearing in front of him with some reluctance, and sighed again.
"Tomorrow."
After a while, he calmed himself down a little and called out softly.
"Tomorrow I'll be there."
Zhu Ming knew that this was probably the moment when the old emperor in front of him was at his most vulnerable. His eyes reddened and he responded softly.
"Tell me, are we too unfamiliar with your royal brother?"
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and pulled Zhu Ming to his side, looked at his beloved grandson, and asked hesitantly.
He himself had even forgotten when was the last time he played with Zhu Yunhuan like this.
He didn't even know that Zhu Yunhuan had such high chess skills.
I feel sorry for Biaoer.
"I don't know tomorrow."
Zhu Ming shook his head, looking bewildered, and then looked in the direction where Zhu Yunhuan left: "Ming'er has never had much contact with the emperor, so it's hard to say."
Zhu Ming lived in a side courtyard of the Daming Palace. He rarely saw Zhu Yunhuan, which also meant that Zhu Yuanzhang rarely saw Zhu Yunhuan.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know the ups and downs of this?
After listening to Zhu Ming's words, he was silent for a while before letting out another long sigh.
"You will know Ming'er that my brother is a good man."
Seeing that the atmosphere had become so heated, Zhu Ming spoke slowly with that innocent look on his face.
Yes, Zhu Yunhuan has been honest and dutiful since he was born.
The mistakes I made and the witchcraft I learned never really hurt anyone.
After hearing what Zhu Ming said, Zhu Yunhu's image in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind improved a little.
"I know. Ming'er also feels that I care too little about Yunxun, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched Zhu Ming's head.
Of Biao'er's children, he usually only cared about taking care of Zhu Ming and then Zhu Yunwen.
He really didn't care much about Zhu Yunhuan's brothers.
He probably said this just to find an excuse for himself.
"It's getting late, so let's not disturb your rest tomorrow."
As he spoke, he stood up. Seeing this, Yun Qi, who was standing by, immediately ran over to support Zhu Yuanzhang and slowly walked out the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang's health was naturally not so weak, but in Zhu Ming's eyes, the emperor who needed the support of others looked increasingly old.
