Spring is bright and everything has regained its vitality.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu remembered a stable life in Yunnan, where he had a lot of time to do what he wanted to do every day.
The biggest difference is probably the state of mind; the threat and pressure we are currently under is obviously not that great.
Imperial power has a relationship with morality, and the rules of the world are strict in the hierarchy of superiors and inferiors; not to mention that Zhu Gaoxu still has the army now, so it is not easy for anyone to threaten the imperial power.
When he was in Yunnan, he deeply understood this.
He mainly deployed some overseas affairs and had several correspondence with the Shen family.
This afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu decided to return to the harem early to discuss with the queen about expanding the concubines in the harem.
When she met Guo Wei in Kunning Palace, she was wearing a yellow regular dress, a phoenix crown on her head, and a crystal clear jade bracelet made from heaven on her wrist.Zhu Gaoxu felt a little strange.
When Guo Wei did not summon concubines or wife, she did not like to wear clothes made of empress rituals.
Although the clothing is very high in specifications, the point is not to make women more beautiful.
Guo Wei likes to wear light-colored flowing robe or silk skirt, and she looks young, making her look less like a woman who has given birth to a child; but sometimes she will learn from Yao Ji, as if she wants to be more charming.
It was still early, and the couple sat in the main hall of Kunning Palace, drank a cup of tea and talked about the enthronement of concubines for a while.
At this time, Guo Wei said: I haven’t gone to the Imperial Garden for a long time. The weather is pretty good today. Let’s go with me?
Zhu Gaoxu slapped his hands on the thigh, and then stood up and nodded happily to agree.He thought to himself, no wonder Guo Wei was already ready to go out in this dress today.
The emperor... Guo Wei said in his voice.
When Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw that there was a look of wanting to speak but stopping on her beautiful little face, he asked: What's the matter?
Guo Wei finally said: I will follow the emperor's will to send my sister Mrs. Guo to Zhongdu.My sister wants to meet the emperor, and what if the emperor meets her in the Imperial Garden?
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: OK.
It would take some time to meet Guo Yan once, and Zhu Gaoxu doesn't have to refuse.
As long as he can compromise, he will usually follow the Queen Guo Wei.
After all, Zhu Gaoxu was open and with other women at the same time; perhaps the world at this time took it for granted, but he was still very touched.
He used to have an elder who made a lot of money and found a small one outside.
The elder's wife repeatedly told her heart to her relatives and friends in public, saying that she would wait until the man couldn't walk, and she would lift the man off the ladder and throw him to death, so that he would not have a good end.
But here, Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei still maintain a good relationship.He couldn't help but feel that Guo Wei is virtuous, so he has the willingness to repay her and is very compromising to her.
However, when meeting Mrs. Guo in the Imperial Garden, Guo Wei doesn't need to tell Zhu Gaoxu in advance.Zhu Gaoxu vaguely felt that after Mu Zhen had Zhan Qi, Guo Wei seemed to be more cautious.
A group of people surrounded Zhu Gaoxu and his wife's car and came to the Imperial Garden in the northwest corner of the palace.When Zhu Gaoxu walked off the imperial chariot, he indeed saw Mrs. Guo.
Mrs. Guo knelt on the ground and went to see her for a big week.Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and made a gesture of helping her, telling her to flatten her body.
Queen Guo Wei said: I will go to the forest first, and after Mrs. Guo’s report is over, I will come to serve the emperor again.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.Guo Wei then gave the eunuch Huang Gou a wink, and walked into the forest with her entourage, leaving only two palace servants behind, following them far behind.
This imperial garden was built at the same time as the imperial palace and was built during the Hongwu period. The various trees planted inside were already very tall.
The trees are paved with bricks and stones, and palace servants clean up weeds and leaves.
So here looks a little monotonous at first glance, but it is cleaner than ordinary woods.
The huge tree canopy makes the brick floor very shade, and the sun can only cast mottled light between the leaves.
Birds hid among the treetops and made chirping sounds, but it still seemed very quiet here.From time to time, palace servants pass by the road, and people dare not make noise.
Guo Wei had already walked towards a pool and rockery in front. The strange stones and lava stones piled on the rockery came from nowhere, but they could not see them in Zhili anyway.
Zhu Gaoxu only remembered that his first meeting with Guo Wei was next to the rockery.
He turned around and glanced at Guo Yan in front of him.
It is estimated that because of Gao Chi's death, Guo Yan understood customs, so her clothes were very clean.
The light blue top and the plain white long skirt have no jewelry on it; however, the material of the dress is very good, the soft and light silk material has a restrained luster.
Zhu Gaoxu has seen many women, so it can be seen that Guo Yan looks simple but carefully put on light makeup.
Because of her widowhood, it is obviously inappropriate to apply makeup.
Let's talk as we go.Zhu Gaoxu walked forward slowly, showing a peaceful appearance.
The two of them walked silently for a while, and Guo Yan seemed to be brewing words.
Nowadays, almost everyone should be very energy-consuming and thoughtful when facing Zhu Gaoxu; people will prepare in advance and be very cautious when talking.
Zhu Gaoxu has become accustomed to this. With the power of life and death over almost everyone, everyone feels that being with the king is like a tiger. What can he do?
Sure enough, Guo Yan finally said: There is one thing that I don’t know if the emperor knows.Before the emperor got married, the candidate for the Han princess at that time should have been a concubine.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately turned to look at her. Her face was a little red and a little nervous, and she showed a sad and pity-like expression.
Guo Yan sighed lightly and said: Later, because my concubine was not the legitimate daughter, the person married to the emperor was my concubine's sister.Everything is just fate, alas.
Oh... Zhu Gaoxu made a voice, but I really didn't know how to respond.
Now, what's the use of saying this?
With Zhu Gaoxu's identity at that time, the final decision of his wife is the father and mother. The so-called matchmaker's orders are the orders of his parents.
Before the newlyweds, he didn't know what kind of person he married. For him, it seemed that everyone he chose would be the same; he did meet Weier in this imperial garden in advance, but he didn't know who the little girl was at that time.
Zhu Gaoxu did not say what he was in his heart and used his parents' orders to evade Guo Yan's grievances.After all, she said these words, not because Zhu Gaoxu asked him to explain them; it was just to gain sympathy, right?
This attitude of showing weakness did not disgust Zhu Gaoxu.It's better than complaining when she comes up, such as questioning Zhu Gaoxu, the man and son who killed her.
The Lord.Guo Yan called out from behind.
Zhu Gaoxu stood still and turned around, seeing her boldly looking up at him, because she was shorter than Zhu Gaoxu.
After Guo Yan found that Zhu Gaoxu seemed indifferent, she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
Guo Yan took a faint breath and said: Therefore, I do not resent the emperor, but just lost.Do you understand my heart, do you believe it?
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment and nodded: I believe it.You must also believe that the deposed prince is always my elder brother, and the incident of a fire in Zhongdu is definitely not what I mean.
Guo Yan shook her head gently, nodded again, and said in a pleading tone: Of course... I am a weak woman like me, who is powerless to do anything, has an injustice and may be a little envious, but what I want most is to live a good life.
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while.He was not very concerned about Guo Yan, who had lost all her strength, was now thinking about the relationship between this.
Sending Guo Yan to Zhongdu was not his intention, but the wishes of the queen and the Guo family.
However, before, Zhu Gaoxu did ask the Silijian to arrange someone to look at her to avoid any accidents; so the Guo family's wish was finally promoted?
Zhu Gaoxu knew his responsibility and did not want to shirk responsibility on Weier's head, so he gave up on defense.
At this time, he spoke: Mrs. Guo can live well when she goes to Zhongdu, and can also be praised by the world (guarding the tomb).I will issue an order to allow the people who are left behind in the Zhongdu Department to allow the Marquis of Wuding and the Queen to send people to Zhongdu to meet you, so as not to be embarrassed by others.
The emperor... Guo Yan's face turned pale.
Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: Marquis Wuding is a nobleman in the court, and Weier is my legitimate queen.You are from the Guo family and you will not be treated unfairly no matter where you live. Don’t worry too much.
Guo Yan bit her lip and suddenly said: You are so cruel!
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, as if he had agreed to Guo Yan's evaluation.
In his opinion, there are always injustice and victims in this world.
Those who fail and those who are marginalized will inevitably lose their lives, or make a living difficult and lose their dignity due to being plundered.
In a completely fair and reasonable world, there is probably only the utopia written by idealists in books.
Even as an emperor, he claimed to be kind to the world, the Ming Dynasty, including hidden households and women and children, may have a population of over 100 million. Is he really capable and able to benefit everyone?
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said to the palace servant behind him: Please come.
The palace servant said: I will obey the order.
After Guo Wei and his group came to greet each other, Zhu Gaoxu accompanied Guo Wei to continue walking in the imperial garden.
When he walked to the rockery, Zhu Gaoxu stopped and looked at the rockery thoughtfully.
When he turned to look at Guo Wei, the two of them looked at each other, as if they had remembered something.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: Where did the queen put her clothes that were not of the right size?
Guo Wei said a little embarrassedly: Of course I have to pay it back... The emperor actually remembered the little things that he had been so long.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I'm afraid I can't forget it.
Guo Wei sighed lightly: Looking back at the past, it has been eight years since then, but it seems that there have not been many days.
Zhu Gaoxu said: I am afraid that this is the only thing that makes people feel short and lasting decades of life.
Guo Wei hurriedly said: The emperor will live forever.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and refused to comment.
