Volume Four, Chapter Five, Humble

Zhu Zai'er really didn't expect that he would have such a glorious day. Hundreds of Jinyiwei, dozens of palace maids, dozens of eunuchs, surrounded him like stars, left the palace and lived in the vassal residence. This feeling was so good.

These palace maids, eunuchs, and even Jinyiwei were all given to him by his father. From now on, these people will be from his Prince Yu’s mansion!

He originally thought that when he grew up, it would be good to have more than a dozen Jinyiwei and a few palace maids and eunuchs accompany him to the vassal state. Who would have thought that he would have such a rich team at only a few years old.

Of course, he knew very well that these were brought to him by his master Yang Cong, or his master's wife Lu Ling'er, because when he left the palace, his father Jiajing rarely called him to his side and gave him some careful advice.

He listened very carefully to the emperor's words and understood them. The main meaning was only one, and he must be filial to the master and his wife, especially the master's wife Lu Ling'er.

If it were other princes or princes, after hearing this, they would probably disagree or even be rebellious. What a joke, I, a royal prince, would be filial to a retired official and an unknown girl movie. So what about the master and my master's wife? Is this prince fake?

He didn't think so, because he felt that his identity as a prince was nothing extraordinary, or that he had never received any respect because of his identity as a prince since he was a child. On the contrary, he was trembling because of his identity as a prince, as if walking on thin ice.

He originally had eight brothers, but now there are only three left. Is this normal?

Perhaps, others think this is normal, is it a child? If you accidentally die, what's wrong with it?

But he knew that this was abnormal, or rather, his mother, Concubine Du, had been warning him that if he was not careful, the other five brothers would be his role models.

He didn't want to die, so he was trembling since childhood and was cautious, afraid of offending someone. Therefore, he was quite humble in his heart. He didn't think that his status as a prince was of great significance. Not to mention that Jiajing asked him to respect a minister who retired and an unknown girl movie, even if Jiajing asked him to respect an elderly palace maid or even a eunuch, he would do it seriously.

Because this is his way of survival, he believes that the reason why he can survive to this day is because of this caution and caution. Even ordinary palace maids and eunuchs will treat them carefully, not to mention that his master Yang Cong and his maid Lu Ling'er are not ordinary people at all.

His master Yang Cong will not say anything. The name of the sub-saint has spread throughout the court and the country, and his master's wife Lu Ling'er is even more amazing. He has heard that when his father first entered the palace, he was treated by his master's wife Lu Ling'er.

It is rumored that at that time, his father was always staying in bed because he was young and refused to get up early. All the ministers and the empress dowagers and concubines in the palace had no choice but to do this. After all, his father was the emperor, and he was young and worried. What's wrong with not being able to get up in bed? Does anyone dare to lift the quilt and curse?

In the end, this matter was solved by his father's wet nurse Li or his master's wife Lu Ling'er. Because as long as his father stayed in bed, his father's wet nurse Li threw Lu Ling'er's younger aunt on the dragon bed, and the younger aunt rode on his father's head and made trouble. His father had no choice but to get up unwillingly.

This matter sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is indeed a real thing. His father is really even more close to his master's wife Lu Ling'er than his own sister. Others, let alone riding on his father's head, would be punished to death as long as they were a little disrespectful. Only his master's wife Lu Ling'er, even if he rode on his father's head, his father just begged for mercy and never even had a temper!

Not to mention anything else, he must be very filial to his master's wife because of her favored level.

He kept the words of his father, Emperor Jiajing, to be filial to his master Yang Cong and his master's wife Lu Ling'er in mind. As soon as he arrived at the residence, he had not done anything. The first thing was to send a personal eunuch to his master Yang Cong's residence to discuss the matter of becoming a disciple.

The next morning, he took a shower and changed his clothes, came to Yang's house early, and prepared to officially become a disciple.

What he unexpectedly expected was that this time he was apprenticed, not only did he pay great attention to his master Yang Cong, but his master Yang Cong also paid great attention to it. Just after Chen Shi, Duke Xu Yande of Dingguo, Duke Cui Yuan of Jingshan, Duke Xu Bangqi of the Minister of Rites, and senior officials of the Yangming lineage such as Zhang Bangqi of the Minister of Rites, Zou Shouyi of the Minister of Justice, as well as Li Chunfang, the top scholar in the former department, and Zhang Juzheng of the new department, all rushed over one after another.

Obviously, they were all invited by their master Yang Cong to watch the ceremony.

These people have to be on duty. If they come here so early, they must have been shamed.

By the way, if Yang Cong is doing this, aren’t he afraid that others will impeach him and make ill-intentioned plans?

You should know that the Ming Dynasty royal family has been very strict in preventing such things.

Of course he knew this and knew that there were certain risks in doing so, but he still did this because he knew that Zhu Zaihan would eventually inherit the throne, and he wanted Zhu Zaihan to understand how good he, a master, was to him.

Zhu Zai'er didn't know this. Seeing the high-ranking officials and nobles in the hall was really excited.

He has never been taken so seriously. He is just a disciple. There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles watching the ceremony. You know, when he was the king, there were not so many high-ranking officials and nobles to watch the ceremony. How could he not be excited?

From childhood to adulthood, he was like a humble ant, always cautious, afraid that he would be trampled to death if he was accidentally trampled to death. He never thought he would receive such a grand courtesy.

At this moment, his eyes were a little wet. After the ritual official sang, he knelt down sincerely, knelt in front of Yang Cong, kowtowed three times, then took out the apprenticeship post, read it seriously, then picked up the teacup handed over to the side and said respectfully: "Master, please have tea."

Yang Cong took the teacup, took a sip, and then handed him a scroll and a post, and said with a smile: "I don't ask you to be a teacher at the Golden List High School, and rank first. As long as you can work hard and achieve success in your studies."

There is nothing wrong with this, because he is a prince, so it is impossible to take the imperial examination. As long as he can achieve something in his studies, it will be fine.

The scroll given to him by Yang Cong also has the four words "Studying something". It is ordinary. As for the post, it is amazing. It is a list of gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin, etc., worth tens of thousands of taels.

Zhu Zai'er didn't know that Yang Cong had given him such a big gift. He only knew that Yang Cong was so kind at this moment, and he looked so kind than his father Jiajing.

He originally thought that no matter how many times the master would raise his airs, turn his face and teach him a few words.

Unexpectedly, the master was so kind and had no airs at all. He spoke so warmly and warmly, and it penetrated his heart.

He couldn't help but be moved and said, "Disciples must keep in mind the teachings of their teachers, work diligently and study hard."
