The letter said that Cheng Hechuan and Xu Miaoyun met three times.

For the first time, he and Xu Da discussed the manuscript of "History of the Yuan Dynasty" in the backyard of Wei Guogong's mansion. Xu Miaoyun was present and the three of them drank together.

The second time at the gate of the city, Cheng Hechuan went to Henan to provide disaster relief. Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun saw each other off, and Xu Miaoyun presented him with a cushion.

The third time at the teahouse, Cheng Hechuan watched the wedding party leave the city. Xu Miaoyun raised the curtain and looked at each other, their eyes facing each other.

After Zhu Di read the letter, he was silent for a long time, then put the letter on the candle and burned it.

The ashes fell into the copper plate, and he stretched out his fingers to gently stir around the ashes.

"Come here." Zhu Di called.

An attendant pushed the door open and came in: "Your Highness."

"Prepare the sedan, I want to enter the palace." Zhu Di stood up.

The palace was particularly quiet at night.

When Zhu Di passed through the palace gates and arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing memorials, and Queen Ma was sitting next to him embroidering.

"My son Zhu Di, see my father and the emperor, and see my mother and queen."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at him: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Zhu Di knelt on the ground, thinking carefully about his words: "Father, I went to the Duke of Wei's Mansion today and met Cheng Yushi Cheng Hechuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his ink pen: "What did you do when you saw him?"

"Cheng Yushi was treating the Duke of Guo. After chatting with him for a few words, I felt that this person was indeed as talented and courageous as the rumors said. At the age of twenty-five, he was already the censor of the Fourth Grade Qiandu. He had done a lot of practical things in the court, including resolving Wang Bi's case, relieving disasters in Henan, and now he is treating the Duke of Guo. Such a person will definitely become a great asset in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened without interrupting.

Queen Ma also put down her embroidery needle and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di paused and continued: "But I heard that Mr. Cheng is twenty-five this year and has not married yet. It is really a loss for the court that such an outstanding talent is alone. I dare to think about whether there are suitable candidates around my father and mother to find a marriage for him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back on the chair and tapped the armrest with his fingers: "Whether Cheng Hechuan has a family or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhu Di said without changing his expression: "Back to my father, I feel that someone like Mr. Cheng should be taken care of. He has offended many people in the court, and it would make him more stable if he had a family. Furthermore, he has no father or mother, and no one will arrange the marriage for him. If my father can grant a marriage, it is a grace and a win-win."
