Zhu Yicheng and Li Juaner were talking about gossip, and naturally they talked about Prince Zhu Bo. Speaking of his son, Li Juaner was proud and fond of her expression, and Zhu Yicheng was the same.

In two or three years, Zhu Bo will be in the Royal Academy for graduation internship, which means entering the army to serve. Although Li Juaner is a little worried about whether the prince will be in danger in the army, this matter was decided by Zhu Yicheng long ago. After Zhu Yicheng determined this rule, he established it as the "ancestral system". Any royal children, whether the prince or ordinary prince, must abide by it in the future, and no one can have additional privileges.

As the queen who has been walking along the way with Zhu Yicheng from a slightest end, Li Juaner certainly understands Zhu Yicheng's intention to do this. Zhu Yicheng will eventually grow old and leave this world. If the Ming Empire wants to continue, it must rely on the efforts of future generations.

Zhu Yicheng didn't want to see the empire he created was destroyed by unfilial descendants, and he didn't want his descendants to develop a useless "pig" like the Ming Dynasty. Although his approach could not completely eliminate this possibility, it was the best way at present. Moreover, after such training, the royal family members can always produce a few reliable talents to stabilize the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Juaner knew this in her heart, but as a mother, she was worried that her child was also an inevitable situation for mothers. Zhu Yicheng could only persuade her and talk about other things to distract her from the spotlight.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something." As he said that, Li Juan'er suddenly remembered something.

Zhu Yicheng looked at Li Juan'er with some confusion. Li Juan'er smiled and said, "A few days ago, the wife of Duke Wei entered the palace and talked about family affairs with me. Although I didn't say it clearly, it seemed that the wife of Duke Wei had the idea of ​​proposing marriage."

"Please marry? For Yan'er?" Zhu Yicheng thought of Zhu Qingyan at the first time. Zhu Qingyan is his eldest daughter. Now he is in his early twelves. Because he has entered the Royal Academy early with the prince and the second prince. Zhu Qingyan is also good at sports on weekdays, not short, and now he looks like a big girl.

However, Zhu Qingyan is not an ordinary princess. Although she is not as popular as the prince in the Royal Academy, she is also very heroic. In addition, Zhu Qingyan is extremely smart and has even better grades than the second prince in the academy. In addition, Zhu Qingyan's equestrian skills are very good, and she is also a polo player in the academy.

On weekdays, except for the prince, Zhu Yicheng's favorite is her eldest daughter. Sometimes Zhu Yicheng even jokes that if Zhu Qingyan was a man, she would be able to directly make her king when she grew up and let her expand her territory overseas.

Zhu Qingyan directly refuted Zhu Yicheng's joke, saying that she actually said that she could be a king as a woman. It is not uncommon for women to be monarchs in Western countries. Even if there were queens like Wu Zetian before the Celestial Empire, why couldn't the Ming Dynasty have a queen?

As for expanding territory, Zhu Qingyan said she could do it herself. Who said that her daughter was not as good as a man? As long as Zhu Yicheng did not object, she was willing to serve in the navy in a few years, and started as an ordinary seaman, and eventually she would be able to lead a ship to travel all over the world and expand territory for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qingyan's heroic spirit made Zhu Yicheng very happy and made a promise to her, agreeing that she would enter the navy after she reached age. As for the rest, although Zhu Yicheng did not make any promises, in Zhu Yicheng's opinion, Zhu Qingyan's bold words made some sense. Moreover, Zhu Yicheng had the thoughts of later generations, and did not have any demands on women like people in this era. On the contrary, he felt that Zhu Qingyan's words were very pleasing to his appetite, so he liked his daughter even more.

Seeing Li Juan'er nodding with a smile, Zhu Yicheng was a little surprised, but it was normal to think about it. People in this era got married early, and there are many ordinary women who got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and those who were not married at the age of sixteen were old girls. Where can there be someone who calls themselves "girls" in their early thirties?

As for the wife of Duke Wei who Li Juaner mentioned, of course, was Dong Dashan's wife. Dong Dashan was named Duke Wei, and he was a noble among the nobles. Moreover, Zhu Yicheng knew very well about Dong Dashan. His children Zhu Yicheng had met several times. In terms of identity and status, it was not bad for Zhu Qingyan.

"Are you proposing for the Prince of the Duke of Wei?" Zhu Yicheng asked with a smile, and at the same time, a tall young man flashed through his mind. Dong Dashan's eldest son was sixteen years old and had just graduated from the Royal Academy. According to what Zhu Yicheng knew, he would go to the army to serve next month. Moreover, this kid not only inherited Dong Dashan's bravery, but also had a bad mind. It is said that not only the new army was rushing to serve him, but even the General Staff wanted him to go there.

Who would have thought that Zhu Yicheng was not right? Li Juan'er smiled and told him that the wife of Duke Wei was not the prince of Duke Wei, but the second son, which surprised Zhu Yicheng.

"Second son? Is he called Dong Hua boy?" He was not familiar with Dong Dashan's second son Zhu Yicheng, but he had a vague impression. He met him when he was holding a banquet in the palace. In Zhu Yicheng's memory, Dong Dashan's second son Dong Hua was completely different from his father and brother. He did not look like a child of the military general's family, but more like a literati.

Dong Hua also studied at the Royal Academy, but his physical fitness is far inferior to his brother, and he is not very interested in military affairs. On the contrary, he prefers to write lyrics, calligraphy and painting.

"It's Dong Hua." Li Juan'er nodded. Although Zhu Qingyan was not born to Li Juan'er, she always regarded this child as her own child, and she liked him as much as Zhu Yicheng on weekdays.

"Dong Hua is fourteen this year, right?" Zhu Yicheng asked with a frown.

"I just turned fourteen years old, this child is good at literature but not martial arts. I heard that he plans to take the imperial examination after graduation. It seems that the Duke of Wei will be a talented man." Li Juan'er said so.

Whether it is literature or martial arts, there is no difference for Zhu Yicheng. Who can guarantee that the military generals cannot produce talented men? On the contrary, the same is true. Moreover, although Dong Hua is not the prince of the Duke of Wei, he is also from a top nobleman and is worthy of Zhu Qingyan in his identity. However, Zhu Yicheng thought about it and felt that this matter would be left for the time being. After all, this is related to his lifelong event of his precious daughter, not to mention that he doesn't know Zhu Qingyan's own thoughts. If he nods his daughter's happiness, this is not what Zhu Yicheng is willing to see.

Zhu Yicheng immediately said his opinion and said, "There is no hurry to do this. The child is still young. Let's talk about it in two years. You can find time to find out what she thinks. I don't want wealth and honor to marry a daughter in the royal family, but I want to live a peaceful life with each other. What do you think?"

Li Juaner understood what Zhu Yicheng meant, and she actually thought so, otherwise she would have agreed to the other party long ago and nodded with a smile.
