Chapter 847 Everyone has their own aspirations

In the twelfth lunar month, the temperature in the Ming Dynasty was very low, which was completely different from the climate in Annan.

The first snow suddenly fell, but it fell very little.

White snowflakes drifted in the breeze, and the snowflakes fell on the brick floor and quickly melted.

The ground in the palace was very wet, as if it had been a light rain.

Zhu Gaoxu once stayed in Peking for a long time. Compared with the winter in Peking, the wet and cold in the capital was still milder.

If you are in Peking this season, you will be a little thin and you will not be able to stand it when you are outside.

In the capital, the room seems to be similar inside and outside, if you don’t burn charcoal to keep warm.

The eunuchs and palace maids opened the door of Rouyi Hall, and when Zhu Gaoxu walked in, they immediately closed the door.

At this moment, a voice said: I will raise the fire now.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him and saw Lian Shi. Her eyes showed a little surprise and her movements were also very light.

Zhu Gaoxu realized that he hadn't come to Rouyi Hall for a while, because the space in Donghun Pavilion was slightly smaller and it was easier to keep warm.

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize the surprise of eunuchs Wang Gui and others, and her face suddenly felt a little embarrassed.There is no need to tell the emperor about the small things such as making fires to keep warm.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu gave her a kind smile, nodded as if nothing had happened: Burn the charcoal fire, the weather has been quite cold in the past two days.

Lian's cheeks were a little red. He glanced at him and buried his head in the work.

Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a lamb fur coat outside his dragon suit, but he didn't take it off and sat down directly behind the big table.

Wang Gui stepped forward and bowed and said, "Report to the Emperor, the Marquis of Ningyuan (He Fu) has three adult sons, He Kuiyi, He Kui4, and He Kui6."He Kuiyi has married and married Xu Zhang's second daughter...

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately felt that He Fu was a person who was willing to accept the loss.

Xu Zhang was a military general in Jingnan. When He Fu married Xu Zhang's widowed sister, many people thought that He Fu, an old general in the Jianwen Dynasty, just wanted to protect himself through marriage. Zhu Gaoxu also believed that otherwise, there would be no need for the wise media to marry a widow with He Fu's status.

However, Xu Zhang was not lucky, and his eldest daughter was retired after becoming Princess Zhao. This matter was agreed by the emperor and his mother.

At this point, Xu Zhang was neglected.

I guess Zhu Di knew it at that time and felt a little sorry for Xu Zhang. He guessed that Xu Zhang was resentful, but instead alienated Xu Zhang.

The Xu Zhang family is getting worse and worse, and He Fu continues to marry the Xu family.It seems that He Fu is not too snobbish either. It is said that he has a good relationship with Mrs. Xu Xian.

Wang Gui continued: The second son He Kui Si seems to be not a serious person, and I have learned about him.It is said that He Kui Si often wanders around the streets and alleys of the capital and likes to play and sing.Once, He Kuisi and a servant were brought to him, disguised himself as a down-and-out boy and sang in a restaurant, and received a lot of rewards.After Ning Yuanhou found out, he blamed him for being embarrassed and was easy to beat him.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said casually: Fortunately, it was not during the Hongwu period.

Wang Gui said: That's not?

Emperor Taizu was the one who disliked the children of nobles and military generals the most, and believed that they were not doing their jobs. Once Taizu knew about it, he would be the lightest to cut his fingers.

However, after Taizu's death, those harsh and serious sanctions were no longer used, so Zhu Gaoxu would not punish his ministers severely because of such a thing.

In Zhu Gaoxu's opinion, it is normal for the families of nobles and military generals to have children who are not doing their jobs and cannot be controlled at all.

Moreover, everyone has different hobbies and no sin. Just find a way to prevent these people from holding military power.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked: He Kuisi can sell money, what are the money used for?

The angle of this question is a bit tricky. Wang Gui was stunned and hurriedly said: It seems to be given to another beggar.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately smiled.

Wang Guidao: Fortunately, He Kuiliu is more like Ningyuan Hou. He is diligent in practicing martial arts and loves military books.However, He Kuiliu still has an under-family second brother. It is logical that He Kuisi should get married first.

Zhu Gaoxu said: There is no need to worry about so many rules.You tell Princess Baoqing about the affairs of these two brothers.Looking back, I will find an opportunity to bring He Fu and his sons, and let Princess Baoqing see it with her own eyes and listen to what she means.If you don’t like her, please don’t worry, I will look for her better.

Wang Gui said: I obey the order.He then kowtowed and left.

At this time, Lian brought the brewed hot tea, gently placed it on the table, and secretly looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

When Zhu Gaoxu talked to Wang Gui before, he also felt that Lian, who was doing trivial matters, was looking at him from time to time.

However, he is the only man in this palace, and he is the emperor who is the most concerned. It seems normal for Lian to keep paying attention to him.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned his head to look at her. Lian seemed to be startled and hurriedly avoided his eyes.

What do you want to tell me? Zhu Gaoxu asked kindly.

Lian had to calm down and whisper: Is the Lord so good to everyone?

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said nothing, thinking that the people in power can still do this?But I am not a mad dog.

Lian was silent for a moment and said: The emperor is very nice to Princess Baoqing.

Zhu Gaoxu opened the memorial on the table and said: Princess Baoqing is my little aunt, but she is much younger than me.When she was still a child, the Emperor's ancestor died. It was my father and mother who raised her with her own hands.So emotionally, she is like my sister. Now that her father and mother are gone, I will of course make the decision for her marriage so that she can have a satisfactory destination.

He then turned to look at Lian and smiled: Everyone has their own love for carrots and vegetables. Who knows what kind of person Princess Baoqing likes?

Lian said with a knee: What the emperor said is very... I am here to polish the ink.

The hall was quiet, and Xiaoxue was silently falling outside, with only the rustling and delicate sounds made from the inkstone.

Zhu Gaoxu picked up his pen, dipped it in the inkstone with red ink, and began to write the approval text on the memorial.

He saw from the light that when Lian was polishing ink, his eyes were looking at his side face, as if he was a little absent-minded.

After coming over for a while, the sound of grinding ink disappeared.Lian even approached gently and glanced at the memorial in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, and Lian's face suddenly turned red.

He was not a person who likes to embarrass others, so he looked at her and smiled casually. Lian Shi was stunned for a moment and said softly: The words on the priest are so beautiful.

Exceeded the award.Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

The charcoal fire in the hall is getting stronger and stronger, the doors and windows of the main hall are also closed, and the temperature inside is gradually rising.Zhu Gaoxu was dressed very thickly, so he said without looking back: Help me take off my coat.

yes.Lian, who was next to him, responded first.

Her movements were very gentle, as if Zhu Gaoxu was made of tofu, for fear of breaking them. She was very slow and she had been ink for a long time.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a hint of warmth on his side face. It was the touch of her breathing. She obviously didn't use any effort to do this, but her breathing was a little heavy.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately turned to look at her, but saw that her expression was still so serious, without any lewd expression. In an instant, Zhu Gaoxu even felt a little suspicious that he had just felt wrong.

Lian's fingers trembled slightly, as if he was suddenly frightened.

Her eyes turned slightly, and soon she turned her eyes boldly and looked directly at Zhu Gaoxu silently.

Without the teachings in the palace, she is indeed different from ordinary palace maids and does not abide by etiquette very much.

For a moment, the two of them were very close to each other.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that Lian was quite beautiful.

She is not the kind of appearance that makes people amazing when they first meet, but she is very pleasing. Her slightly thick red lips, slightly raised upper lip, and even symmetrical facial features. The feeling of single eyelids and eyes is very special.

Her skin is fair and soft, but because she is very young and has a little fat under her skin, her skin is not firm, which makes people feel very gentle.

That seemingly serious and decent look can also arouse people's curiosity. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but guess whether she could be so serious at any time?

The coat was finally removed, and Lian took the things and walked to a cabinet beside the wall, folding it there.

Zhu Gaoxu looked up and said: You all go down, it’s enough to have someone to serve.

Other palace maids bent their knees and said: Yes.

When Lian heard this, she turned her head and looked over, her cheeks redder beside the charcoal fire.

She put down her coat, returned to Zhu Gaoxu, and stood there.

There were only two people left in the hall, but suddenly it became a mess, and neither of them said anything.

Lian seemed very nervous, but Zhu Gaoxu was very calm.

He had nothing to say and felt a little abrupt, so he continued to write on the memorial as if nothing had happened.

The Holy and the Lord are right.Lian's voice trembled slightly.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he stopped the tip of his pen and turned to look at her.

Lian avoided his gaze and said softly: After I came to Beijing from my hometown, I lived alone for several years.But I am just living alone and I am still used to it. Unlike in the past few months, I always see the Lord...

As she spoke, she seemed to be breathing without breathing. After she finished speaking, she exhaled a long breath, and then breathed deeply as if she was suffocating.

Zhu Gaoxu saw her fingers holding the corner of her jacket and skirt top hard again.

You speak in a low voice, but why do you stand so far? Zhu Gaoxu said in an easy-going tone, don’t be nervous, relax, we are not people we don’t know, right?

Lian looked at him, exhaled, and slowly approached her. She seemed a little dizzy and looked strange.

When Zhu Gaoxu approached her, he reached out and gently held her hand, but he didn't do anything too much at first.

Lian seemed to be a little unsteady. Her expression was a little entangled and she murmured: Don’t the emperor still have some serious things to do, don’t you take a nap in the afternoon and afternoon?

Zhu Gaoxu said: It’s so cold that I can’t get up, so I don’t take a nap.His hand continued to thrust up, gradually becoming a little too much.

The Lord... Lian called out like a murmur.

The surroundings of Rouyi Hall gradually became less peaceful than before, and the wind was getting heavier and heavier.The wooden window and six doors were closed tightly, and were shaking by the winter wind, and the wood made a crunching sound.
