Ming Dynasty: Empress Ma and I swapped clothes!

Chapter 76: Little Zhu Di is still the most sensible!

Zhu Shuang and Zhu Gang chuckled, then stood up one after the other and walked over to Zhu Di with great enthusiasm. They pulled his small body and said, "Little Fourth, your second brother was just joking with you. Look at you, you can't take a joke at all."

"Yes, yes, and third brother too. I said the same thing as Mother. We are all family. Since we are family, how can we talk like two families?"

Here, these are chopsticks. Eat well, take big bites.

"Don't worry, there's more after you finish eating. If necessary, your third brother will make you more. How can we let our little fourth child go hungry?"

Zhu Di noticed the hypocrisy on their faces, and then he glanced at his mother, who was staring at him.

Zhu Di also put on a show for his good brothers: "Second brother, third brother, you are all so good to me, I'm so touched I'm almost crying."

Ha ha.

Zhu Shuang rolled her eyes where Ma Wenxiang couldn't see, and silently said: What are you pretending for?

The eldest brother doesn't know the second brother, and the second brother doesn't know you, the fourth brother.

If you're so capable, try crying properly and let your second brother see.

Zhu Gang pursed his lips, not rolling his eyes, but the way he raised his eyebrows was truly remarkable.

It is evident that neither of them usually had a good impression of Zhu Di, since the latter had performed so well that he was almost as good as his elder brother, the Crown Prince.

However, because Ma Wenxiang was present, the scene of brotherly affection and respect was performed with particular enthusiasm. Each of them was a master actor, and they were all members of the Zhu family. Their ability to fool people was simply superb.

So the two older brothers were very enthusiastic, but the younger brother refused.

Then Zhu Di successfully sat down at the small square table, pulled up a stool, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat the pork stew with vermicelli in front of him.

The vermicelli looked ordinary, somewhat like a big pot stew, but when Zhu Di actually tasted it, his eyes lit up.

"tasty."

Zhu Di spoke up instinctively.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Shuang adopted a matter-of-fact attitude and said, "Of course, this is pork stew with vermicelli."

When my mother made it in the village before, we were both so full that we were stuffed. Especially the first time we ate it, we almost wanted to swallow our tongues too.

Today, Xiao Si, you're in luck! You know, even Father Emperor and Crown Prince have never tasted this.

"Even if I've eaten it, it was something my mistress and I cooked together, not something my mother cooked herself."

Zhu Shuang naturally followed suit; before, the mistress called her "mother" to curry favor.

Of course he had to start making progress; how could he let someone else take away this hard-won favor?

Even if there's only the slightest possibility.

He would absolutely not allow it.

"If it's delicious, then eat more."

Ma Wenxiang didn't care much about the three children's squabbles at the moment. He just heard Zhu Di say that and then served him a few more small bowls.

When the Empress did this, Zhu Shuang and Zhu Gang were displeased. They both stared at Ma Wenxiang with their big, watery eyes.

Ma Wenxiang was both amused and exasperated. He looked at Su Qing'er and Sun Miaoran for help, and Su Qing'er and Sun Miaoran had no choice but to step forward to assist him.

But at this moment, Zhu Shuang and Zhu Gang, holding their small bowls, became unhappy and dodged to the side, saying, "No, we have to have Mother serve us."

"Yes, yes, I won't eat it if it's not served by Mom."

The two of them started acting like children again, but in Ma Wenxiang's eyes, it was nothing serious; it was just a matter of moving a spoon.

"You're such a grown-up, and you don't even know how to serve yourself."

As Ma Wenxiang served the food, he began to talk, which led to him becoming somewhat of a chatterbox.

He slowly began, "Once you have a wife, you'll forget your mother. When you all get married and start your own careers, who knows, you might not even ask your wives to do anything. You'll probably be the ones doing all the chores for them."

"No, I'd rather help you first."

"I certainly wouldn't do it with the second one, but the third and fourth ones might be different."

"Second brother, you..."

Zhu Gang's eyes widened, as if he had never expected such cruel words to come from his second brother's mouth.

They used to be such good brothers.

But now, for the sake of his mother's favor, he has done something so infuriating.

Faced with Zhu Gang's incredulous gaze, Zhu Shuang sighed, his heart softening slightly. He then said, "Third brother, there's nothing I can do. The struggle for the heirship has always been like this. Besides, you were the one who made the first move."

"Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return."

"Second brother, don't underestimate people like that."

Zhu Gang snorted coldly, indicating that he was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Qingqing then said, "Second Brother, you may win now, but you can't win forever."

"Your mother's favor can last for a while, but you will never have it forever, just like your elder brother, the Crown Prince."

"Hahaha, if you're so capable, then come and try to steal her away, mistress. Let's see what makes you think you can do this today."

Before they could finish their meal, the two of them started acting like mischievous kids, competing with each other and causing a ruckus without saying a word.

"Mother, please eat."

Just as the two were about to have a showdown, Zhu Di, who seemed to have a rather weak presence nearby, suddenly spoke up and personally served Ma Wenxiang a bowl of soup.

Then he carefully handed it to Ma Wenxiang.

"Little Si is still the best-behaved and most sensible."

Boom boom boom!!!

As Ma Wenxiang's praise reached Zhu Shuang and his companion, it felt as if the sky were about to fall.

So the two of them joined forces, their resentful gazes fixed on Ma Wenxiang, and then they said, word by word, "Mother, didn't you say before that the second child was the most sensible? How come now it's the fourth child?"

"Mother, I've said the same thing to Xiao San before."

amount……

Ma Wenxiang was embarrassed for only a moment, and then she used the iron fist of maternal love to start hitting the two brats in front of her.

Ma Wenxiang firmly believes in the saying "spare the rod and spoil the child."

"You two are making such a ruckus at the dinner table, where have you gone to be so sensible?"

Ma Wenxiang said directly.

The two little ones immediately quieted down, realizing they had done something wrong. They both lowered their heads in embarrassment and quietly began to eat.

During the meal, however, his eyes were constantly fixed on Zhu Di.

What a clever little fourth grader.

They actually fought and competed fiercely, eventually overtaking the competition.

I was just arguing with the third brother, but I forgot about you, my biggest threat.

Before, he was a good prince in the eyes of his father and mother. Now he wants to be a good child in his mother's eyes. How dare he think that all the good things in the world are his?

Why is your face so big?
