Chapter 18 Refusal

That day, Zhu Gaoxu came out of the Yàn Palace and went straight back to his county prince's palace. He had no intention of meeting his subordinates and went into the house to sleep first.

Returning to Peking from the capital, I walked more than two thousand miles. I slept on the road with wind and food, and couldn't eat well and sleep well. I ran away from Zhuozhou Inn last night and never met until I got home.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu understood a truth: people’s biggest need is not to eat enough, but to sleep.

When I woke up, the whole room was very bright, as if it was daytime.He couldn't tell which day or what time it was at all.

He sat up and looked around. It should be a bedroom because there was a bed inside.But he did not sleep in the bed, but on a bamboo couch with a quilt on his body.

Looking down at himself, Zhu Gaoxu was still wearing dirty clothes and his hands were covered in mud.He thought about it and fell asleep as soon as he came back yesterday, neither changing his clothes nor washing up.

Why didn't he sleep in a bed?Because my body was too dirty without taking a bath, I subconsciously didn't want to dirty the bed, so it was troublesome to clean it up... I came to my senses at this time, a dignified prince, are you still afraid of dirtying a bed?

Zhu Gaoxu still shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was always a loser, and his mentality could not be completely changed for a while.

At this moment, a slave saw Zhu Gaoxu at the door and said: The prince is awake!I immediately prepared to take a shower and change clothes for the prince.

good.Zhu Gaoxu responded, looked at the servant, and his face changed slightly: Why are you so old?!

What about the good thing that a group of beautiful ladies serving to take a bath?

He thought about it and found that Zhu Gaoxu was not married yet. Princess Xu had chosen one and should have gotten married last year, but Taizu died last year.

There is no one in my concubine either.Zhu Gaoxu is sixteen years old this year. In the past two or three years, he has almost never entered his home. He either teaches troops in the military camp or is on the military journey with King Yàn.

So he almost ignored the matter at home, which was almost a mess. He didn't know who found these maids.

After a while, the middle-aged maid with freckles on her face came again. She looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a little shame: I have asked someone to prepare meals, so I will let me serve the prince to take a bath and change clothes first.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Take the shower stuff in and I will wash it myself!

He took a shower and changed his clothes first, because what I brought was a blue round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, so he put it on... Anyway, he hated wearing brightly colored clothes the most in later generations, probably because there was nothing worth showing off, so he didn't like to be noticed.

The servant only took a net scarf, and Zhu Gaoxu wiped his hair dry, and then took the scarf to tie his hair at will.

Then I had another meal and felt refreshed.After sleeping well and eating well, he suddenly felt that he was resurrected with full blood.

When I looked at the middle-aged maid standing next to me, it didn't look too ugly.At this moment, he thought that when he woke up just now, the woman had arranged things in an orderly and quick manner, and immediately felt that she was doing things well.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched and said casually: Has it rained before?When I fell asleep, I felt a little cold.

The woman said in surprise: It’s not raining!I am afraid that the prince will fall asleep and will cover you with a quilt.

What Zhu Gaoxu wanted was the second half of the sentence, proving that the bedding was covered by this woman.

He immediately asked: What's your name?

The woman said: I am the king and have no name. Everyone in the house is called Auntie I am the king.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I forgot, what did you call you before?

The woman said: The prince has never called me, but hey, come here!

Zhu Gaoxu: ...

He stood up and said casually: Your surname is Wang, what does it have to do with Wang Gui?

Aunt Wang said: I have nothing to do with Eunuch Wang, I am all working in the mansion, I just know each other.Eunuch Wang came back last night. When he got up this morning, he went to open the warehouse lock and checked the things inside. After checking, he fell asleep again.Although the prince is not in the mansion, no one dares to move the warehouse.

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly asked again: A girl came back with Wang Gui?

oh!Aunt Wang said, in the front hall, Eunuch Wang arranged it.

After Zhu Gaoxu asked, he waved his hand and asked Aunt Wang to leave.

He walked around his mansion and looked around and became familiar with the memories in his mind.

The Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are not on the same level at all, they are not spacious at all, and they cannot be expanded at will, because they have a ritual system, so they can only build more than 40 rooms... This room refers to the width of the house, and some large houses are more than one room wide.

Zhu Gaoxu's Prince's Mansion is no exception. The front and middle gate towers divide the mansion into two sections.

However, the Prince of Gaoyang had always liked to violate the law in the past. He played a verbal ball and expanded a garden behind the mansion. There were lakes and rockery in the garden. Only pavilions were built, not houses, so it was difficult to calculate the size of the house.

There were not many people living in the mansion, so Zhu Gaoxu took a casual walk, and in a short while he finished shopping in the garden and the yard of the back hall.He walked into the middle gate tower and was about to go to the front hall to take a look.

The light in the gatehouse during the day is actually very dark because there is no need to light the light during the day, but the lighting is not good.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu saw Du Qianrui in the yard, facing away from the Zhongmen Tower, leaning over and stirring the wooden handle, and fetching water from the well.

Looking from behind, because she bent down before leaning over, the back of her skirt was tightened, her hips were supported, and her lines were very round...

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly didn't want to go out of the gatehouse, and couldn't move his feet, so he stood in the gatehouse with dim light and looked at her.

Du Qianrui had changed her clothes, wearing a white six-spoke waist-length skirt, a light green narrow-sleeved cross-collar top, and didn't wear any jewelry.

At this time, Du Qianrui's dress seemed very simple, which was very different from when she was in Nanjing Fuleyuan.

But it's just that it looks whiter.

She was doing trivial matters there, beat the water, lifted it to the edge of the ditch, poured it into the steamed wooden basin, stretched out her finger and stirred it a few times.Zhu Gaoxu guessed that she wanted to wash her hair.

I have known Du Qianrui for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu has not observed her so carefully.Moreover, every time she meets in Nanjing, she wears heavy makeup and her face is covered with makeup, and she almost never sees her original face.

Du Qianrui has a delicate mind and a very delicate figure.

She is not tall, but she is erect and full, and what is even more rare is that she doesn't look fat at all... Zhu Gaoxu observed for a long time before she realized that because her bones are slender, she doesn't look fat.

She squatted down on the eaves toward the gatehouse.

Zhu Gaoxu saw her bare face, her skin was fair and looked like a pottery from a distance; her face was relatively small, so her eyes looked big, and her slightly thick lips looked fuller... So this melon-shaped face looked like it didn't look thin at all.

Du Qianrui looked up and looked around. Zhu Gaoxu's heart suddenly became slightly tight. Fortunately, the light inside and outside the gatehouse was very different, so she didn't seem to find herself standing here stupidly.

Then she gently pulled her shirt, revealing her round naked shoulders, and there was a scratch on her shoulder. She reached out and rubbed her delicate skin a few times, twisted her shoulders gently, allowing her clothes to slide up and cover her shoulders very flexibly.

Maybe she had to wash her hair, but she didn't wear underwear inside her coat, and it seemed that she only had a tube top.

She leaned forward, buried her head, reached out to touch the wooden scoop in the basin, and scooped water on her head.

In this position, the clothes fell down, and the collar of the collar was bigger. Zhu Gaoxu immediately saw that the plump and white patches under her collarbone were heavy, and Zhu Gaoxu also felt very heavy for her.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately held his breath and widened his eyes.

Wow... The water in the wooden ladle wet her black hair and the water splashed on her neck.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't see it so clearly that even the water droplets on the snow-white skin could see clearly.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu forgot that he was in the Prince's Mansion, but it seemed to be on the edge of the quiet valley spring. And just a shower had fallen into the forest spotlessly. There were still pearl-like raindrops left on the tender green leaves of spring.

I really didn't expect that Du Qianrui had such a side when she came from a place where she was so obsessed with her.

He watched with great interest, but unfortunately, his hair was washed quickly.

Zhu Gaoxu believes that Du Qianrui has been traveling for a long distance and can wash it carefully. If it takes a longer time, why should it be so panicked?

He took advantage of Du Qianrui's hair to turn back and walk back to the back hall without hesitation, walked around for a while, and then walked out of the gatehouse again as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door of the wing room. Du Qianrui inside turned around and hurriedly put down the wooden basin, covered with long wet hair, and then bent her knees and said: I have seen the prince... I have just washed my hair and had not had time to clean it up yet. Please forgive me.

Zhu Gaoxu looked calm and casual. He waved his hand gently and said casually: Miss Du dressed very casually today.

Du Qianrui smiled and said: I didn’t like thick and erotic makeup at first, but I couldn’t do anything in Fuleyuan.If you dress too simply and the prince comes to listen to the song, will he still dare to tease me?

Why don’t you dare?Zhu Gaoxu was slightly confused.

Du Qianrui said: I look noble and innocent, I am afraid I will reject it... Besides, in that kind of place, it doesn’t matter.

It seems to make sense.Zhu Gaoxu nodded, paused, and suddenly felt inspired, and immediately said, "Miss Du dressed so simply when she came to the mansion. Is she going to reject me?"

Two blushings appeared on Du Qianrui's face, and her bright eyes glanced at him quietly. I didn't mean that.

Zhu Gaoxu is not a real sixteen-year-old boy. He has become thick-skinned in his previous life and continues with a smile: What does that mean?

Du Qianrui said: This time and another time, in the prince’s mansion, a place of noble etiquette, how can the vulgarity meet the situation?In the past, slaves wanted to please many people, but now they only need to serve one person.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu actually heard the sadness from her words, and his smile gradually stopped and said: It’s not vulgar, and there’s no need to be too simple.I went back to the warehouse to look for something good.
