Chapter 856: Angry and shame

There were no musicians in the private room, and Li Louxian did not change his costumes.

However, her posture and movements were appropriate, and her eyes were very magical.

Her face was covered with heavy makeup, and only her eyes could express the emotions of the opera lines, but her emotions seemed to be really moving and coming from the heart with the song lingering.

I would rather stay alone and poor, live my youth, and have no man in this life, and will not be reborn. If I get married, I will not be in vain. If I get married, it will be worth the wedding in the bridal chamber... She is singing lines, her words are correct and clear.

Zhu Gaoxu and Chen Xu sat next to the coffee table and admired them intently.

The lyrics of opera are sung very slowly, and as long as you listen patiently, you can understand the plot.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that the content of this drama was empty, but fortunately, Li Louxian's acting skills were perfect and his performance was very contagious.

Zhu Gaoxu listened to operas a lot in the Ming Dynasty, and also understood some rules for opera singing. He understood that Li Louxian's fingers, body movements, and tone and lyrics were all in order.

It is really not easy to perform under many rules to achieve tactful and moving realism.

After singing a paragraph, Li Lou stopped first, stepped forward and said with a knee: I am not talented.

Zhu Gaoxu comforted his hands and praised him, then reached into his arms, took out a silver bracelet, and said: Mrs. Li sang well, don’t refuse a small gift.

Li Louxian had no choice but to take it with both hands and said: I thank the emperor for his kindness and reward.

This is the first batch of silver and silverware made in Ishimi Ginshan, Japan. Zhu Gaoxu said, and after saying that, he turned his head to look at Chen Xu. The smile in Chen Xu's eyes seemed to be a tacit understanding.

Li Louxian seems to be in a bad mood because of his husband's affairs over the years, and his skin on his hands has become a little aging, and his finger bones and tendons are very conspicuous.

What Mrs. Chen said is not bad, but her appearance has declined a lot.

However, Zhu Gaoxu did not feel disgusted at all because Li Lou was an old friend of Yunnan first.

Please ask the emperor to retreat temporarily and take a rest.Li Louxian said politely again.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and agreed.

After someone went out and closed the door, Chen Xu said softly with some emotion: The man is really unreliable, and the woman still has to rely on herself. After she finished speaking, she suddenly came to her senses, turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and said: I am saying that she is the first husband, and the emperor is still reliable.

Hehe... Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing a few times.

A little blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks. Against the backdrop of the dark blue old-fashioned robe, her slightly shy face made Zhu Gaoxu gradually become curious.

It is like a piece of warm white jade falling into the dust, with only a corner exposed, which makes people want to take it out and take it out to see it.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little impulsive, so he stared at her cheeks and neck and admired her. Chen Xu's wife was a little uncomfortable and reached out and gently pulled the collar.

Is Baoyan okay in the palace? Chen Xu asked suddenly.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: I arranged for her to live in Xianfei Palace, Xianfei is a very smart person.Didn’t Yao Fang be the second shopkeeper in Shen Xu’s business group?The relationship between the Shen family and the Yao family is an alliance. Concubine Xian will definitely not treat Baoyan badly, let alone make her angry.

Chen Xu murmured: Then I'm relieved. Baoyan doesn’t like talking, but she is also an elf. She seems to know something?

Zhu Gaoxu said: She definitely doesn’t know what happened today, and no one knows it.

What, what's the matter? Chen Xu looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, and then his eyes flashed and began to avoid it.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything or move.

Chen Xu's expression seemed very entangled, hesitant, and his eyes were subtly unpredictable.

After a while, she whispered weakly: It was really the last time I spoke like this, how about it?

...Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace in the afternoon, and took a shower and changed his clothes first, and then went to the Xianfei Palace.

It was Yao Ji's turn to take care of her bed today, and she was recuperating after giving birth and was not feeling well, so Zhu Gaoxu chose today and went to Chen Xu to discuss business affairs.

The spring rain has not stopped, and the palaces and pavilions seem to be in the fog, which makes the Mu family's leisure day more leisurely.

The people who accompanied Zhu Gaoxu were not only the virtuous concubine Yao Ji, but also the concubine Zhuang Baoyan who lived in this palace.

Zhu Gaoxu first made fun of his daughter's birthday boy, and later, the relative of Yao Ji's mother's family, Qin, also came.

Qin's stewed pigeon soup and took it into the palace to nourish Yao Ji's body.

It was a coincidence that Qin went to the palace to meet Yao Ji twice, and both met Zhu Gaoxu in the palace of Xianfei.

The wet nurse took the birthday boy away, and a few of them drank tea and had snacks in the flower hall.

Qin should have come to inquire about Yao Fang's news. She first mentioned the Japanese concubine Qiu Yue, whom Zhu Gaoxu was conferred on: Does Lipin come from afar, understand the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty?

Yao Ji immediately turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and the two of them looked at each other.

Yao Ji smiled and said: My sister-in-law is the wife of the Yao family who is married by the Ming Dynasty. Why are you worried about so many things?

But Zhu Gaoxu understood that Qin was not worried about her status, but she couldn't stand Yao Fang looking for others.

Women are really not as open-minded as Yao Ji. Sometimes they find it difficult to restrain jealousy and possession, and even if they have the etiquette of men and women, they cannot suppress their nature.

Just because I am thousands of miles apart, I can't help but worry. Qin Shi said, I heard that Japan has become peaceful, why haven’t he come back yet? What are you doing there for so long?

Zhu Gaoxu said: The last time Sheng Yong’s memorial was sent back to Beijing, mentioning Yao Fang. Yao Fang made contributions in the battle to conquer Japan. Nothing happened, so you don’t have to worry. Maybe you are about to return to Beijing.

Qin leaned forward and said respectfully: The Lord’s grace.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, stood up and said: You guys chat first, I'll take a nap.

Qin said hurriedly: I should say goodbye, too.

Yao Ji stayed and said: I finally made a comeback, why bother to be so anxious?

Zhu Gaoxu walked outside the flower hall, and several people also stood up and delivered to the door.In this weather, he didn't plan to sleep, so he went to Yao Ji's bedroom, found a book, and sat there to kill time.

After a while, someone brought tea in. When Zhu Gaoxu saw that it was Chen Baoyan. Baoyan is taciturn, very quiet, and beautiful, giving people a bit unearthy feeling.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't quite understand what she was thinking. It was all arranged by the Shen family and the royal family. She, a little girl, had no choice but to feel too much.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was not violent towards the concubines in the palace, and did not hurt them in words or physical terms. The palace was full of luxury and food. In theory, Baoyan would not have too much dissatisfaction or felt bored at most.

Isn’t the emperor going to take a nap? Chen Baoyan's voice came. Some images subconsciously appeared in Zhu Gaoxu's mind, as if he had seen the spring water droplets falling into the clear and deep mountain pond.

She took the initiative to find topics, but it was rare.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately put down the book in his hand, reached out to pick up the teacup, and smiled gently: I like to stay with beautiful women, but when several women sat together, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Baoyan said: So is me.

Zhu Gaoxu asked: What?

Baoyan said: I think it’s boring.Concubine Xian and Mrs. Yao (Qin) both wanted to talk to me, but they had nothing to say, which was very embarrassing.Actually, I know what they mean, because I am from the Shen family, and the Shen family has some relationship with the Yao family, so they don’t want to neglect me.

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: After all, it is a good intention.But Baoyeon is indeed a unique woman, and what she says is often surprising.

Baoyan didn't respond and said: This is not the first time the emperor said this.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and touched his forehead and suddenly said: When you first entered the palace, I seemed to have said it, it was indeed the truth.

Baoyan shook her head gently: In Yunnan.

It was many years ago. Zhu Gaoxu felt that after a long time, he could no longer remember what he had said to a little girl, so he asked casually: Which time?

Baoyan said: Did you forget when I met the emperor for the second time?

Zhu Gaoxu said something and said nothing. Not only did he forget what he said, he even had no impression of where Chen Baoyan was when he saw him for the second time.

Baoyan glanced at him and reminded: Han Wang Mansion. I have only been there once in total, and I went with Chen Manshu.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't remember it, and he reminded quietly: Mrs. Chen is your elder, and he is afraid that he will not be polite to call him by his name.

Baoyan shook her head and said: She is not, my relationship with her is only about the Shen family’s property.

Zhu Gaoxu said: The name is more than that.

Yeah?Baoyan whispered.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her bright gaze and suddenly became a little angry.

But he immediately felt that there was no need to care about Baoyan, and she could not affect his authority at all.

Zhu Gaoxu simply gave up and said in a heart-wrenching tone: Everyone wants to modify their morality and make it look better on the surface. It’s not good for you to always do this.

Baoyan said stubbornly: What does it have to do with morality?

Zhu Gaoxu felt something was wrong with this sentence, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it for a while.He looked thoughtful and was silent for a long time.

Baoyan said again: The emperor pretends to care about me very much, and it is also what he said is "modification"? But it’s nothing, just as the Lord just now can’t remember where I have seen me, but there are too many people.

Zhu Gaoxu said helplessly: You have no shortage of luxury and food for you in the palace. Now that I have become like this, I know it is not fair to you.But it is difficult for people to get rid of the torrent of fate, so do I.

Baoyan said, "I am very satisfied with my current situation."

Zhu Gaoxu was surprised again, just as he had always felt and Baoyan's words were often unexpected.

He carefully observed Baoyan's expression and eyes, hoping to find traces of the young lady's angry and angry words on her face.

But Zhu Gaoxu was disappointed, and there was no trace of anger in Baoyan's clear eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu stroked his flat forehead again and said with a wry smile: I have a very pleasant conversation with you today, after all, this is the time we talked the most.
