As the dusk gradually enveloped the palace, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the Rouyi Hall, got into his sedan chair, and prepared to return to the harem.
Until now, I took it with me that I repeated many times in the morning and still occasionally echoed in my mind.
He should be with the fair concubine Yao Ji tonight.Sometimes when the concubines serve in bed, they come to the Ganqing Palace to meet after they are dressed up.But today he was planning to go to Xianfei Palace and beside the Western Six Palaces by himself.
Someone had been sent to tell Xianfei in advance, so Zhu Gaoxu could have supper as soon as he arrived at the place.
Even the emperor, the ordinary meals are not complicated, four dishes and one soup.However, many people have to handle these four dishes and one soup to Zhu Gaoxu, and they have to go through a series of complicated processes.
There was almost no sound in the small room next to the dining room, and there was a door between them.
However, Zhu Gaoxu knew that there were at least a dozen people behind the door, most of them were palace maids and eunuchs in the Xianfei Palace, waiting to try food there; in addition, Shangshenjian also sent at least two eunuchs to supervise.
In addition, there is also the sound of the guzheng in the room, like the slow-paced background music.If you don't pay attention, you'd think it was a record or something, but of course it was played by musicians on the spot.
None of this will disturb Zhu Gaoxu; the people who do these jobs will not appear in front of him.
A ding-dong sound rang out on the table, and Yao Ji tilted her body to this side and approached to pour wine for Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at her face for a while.
At this time, she also raised her head, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and smiled, and said softly: The Lord has seen it clearly, I didn’t apply any makeup today.Otherwise, what you taste in your mouth in a while will be all those flavors.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and said quietly: Just don’t paint other places.
Yao Ji pretended to be angry and glared at him.
Zhu Gaoxu then picked up the chopsticks and said: After eating, I came back a little late today, so you are afraid you are hungry too.
Yao Ji picked up food for him first.He looked at Yao Ji while eating, and the beauty was accompanying him, and his mood gradually relaxed.
I have read all the book written by the imperial concubine.Yao Ji said again.
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said casually: Does it look good?
Yao Ji nodded with a smile and looked at him as if he had met for the first time: I have known the Lord of God for more than ten years, but I have to know some things from books that the Lord of God has so many unknown abilities and ideas.
Well... Zhu Gaoxu responded.
She continued: Not long ago, Yao Fang wrote a letter to the palace. When I replied, I asked him to read the book. Yao Fang respected the emperor very much.
Zhu Gaoxu said: How to be a military general, but unfortunately, I and Yao Fang can’t use it anymore.
Yao Ji asked again: What book are the emperor and the imperial concubine writing recently? She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Are you writing about how to be the emperor?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head with a smile.
But this reminded him that the book about science must be found to make it public; and the world cannot know that it was from the emperor to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about the impact it had on future generations and whether the signatories would be respected as sages.Is it a choice to use Yao Fang?
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment, but did not make a decision immediately. He was going to wait for another two or three days and think about it again.
After dinner, Zhu Gaoxu asked Yao Ji to chat with him while having tea.When the palace maids prepared hot water, he went inside to take a shower and change his clothes.
Behind the screen in a room, it was gradually covered by white steam rising from hot water, as if it was mist; the chill in the early spring night was also dispelled.
Zhu Gaoxu was half lying in the wooden barrel, listening to the tranquility of the harem, and exhaling a long breath, as if he could feel the fatigue from dissolving into the hot water.
After a while, Yao Ji's figure appeared next to the hazy screen.Her figure in a long skirt gradually became clear as she approached. She looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said: I am serving the emperor to take a bath.
Zhu Gaoxu sent out a tone.
Yao Ji gently pulled open the robe outside, then raised her hands and began to untie the belt on her collar.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes moved as her hands moved, and his jade hands were placed on the collar of her chest. Zhu Gaoxu saw the exaggerated and wonderful outline in Baiqi.
He almost held his breath, waiting for the time to pass as soon as possible...
The next morning, before dawn, Zhu Gaoxu got up and he was going to go to the morning court.He didn't know how long he could last for the morning court etiquette every day, but it was not yet unbearable.
Yao Ji actually got up early, busy preparing Zhu Gaoxu's court uniform to serve him in dressing.
He didn't say much, stood there, waiting for others to dress him up and clean up.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu finally couldn't help but turn his head and whisper: You used to be at bedtime, but you couldn't get up in the morning.Is I ineffective recently?
The faces of the palace maids who were helping next to him turned red.Zhu Gaoxu was also used to this kind of thing, just ignore them.After all, there are too many people in the palace, and if you don’t pay special attention, there would be really not much privacy.
Yao Ji glanced at him: I gritted my teeth and forced myself to get up, but I still have a lot of time.
Zhu Gaoxu said: You don’t have to do this, others will do these things.
Yao Ji leaned closer and whispered in his ear: The emperor used to spoil me as if he was a daughter.I am growing up now, and I should change a little and take care of the emperor more.
A palace maid discovered the two of them intimately and seemed very curious. She made a defiant look of listening carefully.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care much, because these palace maids were all from the Xianfei Palace. They were very fond of seeing their masters favored, and it was not a bad thing.
Is it like my mother?Zhu Gaoxu blurted out.
Yao Ji gave him a blank look.Zhu Gaoxu also realized that he had made a mistake. Fortunately, Yao Ji was not a person who paid much attention to ethics.
Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu wore a red dragon suit, a black winged hat, and a pair of deer leather boots.
After getting ready, he did not go out immediately, but first shut down the palace maid and said to Yao Ji: I will leave the palace this afternoon and go to the Shen family to meet Yao Fang there.
Yao Ji said: Do you need someone to ask someone to inform Yao Fang?
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head: If you are not convenient, I will send someone to do it.You don’t have to tell others about this, but I left the palace privately and went where I went. It’s best if someone in the palace knows it.
Yao Ji nodded, showing a look of relief: I understand.
Zhu Gaoxu then washed and ate, left Xianfei Palace in a sedan chair, and went to Fengtian Gate.
The day of step-by-step progress has begun again.
Zhu Gaoxu sat on the throne, occasionally feeling like a statue decoration. He was thinking a lot in his mind and accidentally connected all this with a woman.
Most etiquette is like a woman dressed in a dress and painted with powder. She looks very particular, but lacks the beauty of details.
Those very standardized words, deeds and clothes are like powder covering people, covering up various characteristics and appearing boring.
However, the ministers are not wood, but they are generally difficult to see their complex hearts from their external behavior and speech.
After lunch, Zhu Gaoxu stayed in Dongnuan Pavilion for a while and asked Wang Gui to arrange the matter of leaving the palace.
If these things are known by officials, there will definitely be repeated advice, mostly for reasons of worrying about the emperor's safety.
Zhu Gaoxu usually comforts him and then treats him as a wind in his ears.
Taizu Taizong did not stipulate that the emperor could not leave the palace without authorization, and there was no constitution to follow, so it was not serious.
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu is not a rebellious young man. He does not think that ministers will only restrain themselves. In fact, he needs those officials and more cooperation.
Zhu Gaoxu often disobeyed advice. What kind of noble character of accepting advice has nothing to do with him, he just often compromised.
The Shen family mansion on the shore of Xuanwu Lake is like a villa, but it is a little bigger as a villa.
After Chen Xu welcomed Zhu Gaoxu, he took him to a place near the lake behind him.
It was a half-open yard, with a steep embankment to the west and stone railings were built, and the scenery along Xuanwu Lake and the coast were clear at a glance.
The idle people are no longer here.In the densely populated area of the capital, this place is simply quiet. Zhu Gaoxu came to the almost uninhabited courtyard and felt a sense of seclusion.
Ma Enhui greeted Zhu Gaoxu here, and the two of them had a simple etiquette.
Chen Xu said: Please help the emperor receive the emperor, I will arrange something first, and come to serve the driver later. Then he left immediately.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at it. Unexpectedly, Chen Xu, who had just walked a few steps, also looked back. When she saw Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, she immediately showed a polite smile.
Please in the living room of the Supreme Lord.Ma Enhui said nervously.
She was wearing a plain light-colored jacket and skirt, the material seemed to have silk and cotton, and there was no jewelry on her hair that was coiled up, and the ivory hairpin was not eye-catching.
She did not dress up beautifully and delicately like Yao Ji, but her white skin and plump figure were beautiful and more intimate with the neat and clean dress.
In his words and deeds, Ma Enhui also made Zhu Gaoxu feel the complex and rich feelings that ordinary people do not have.
She still retains the arrogance and honor of a noble lady; but she also has the forbearance after setbacks and torture, as well as some disgraceful guilt.
Her eyes were a little evasive, but she could tell that she was very happy to see Zhu Gaoxu.
Under the interference of many emotions, she still showed affection when she saw Zhu Gaoxu's expression, so there must be something sincere in her heart.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw her, he felt that it was worth it even if there was nothing else to do.
During the Chinese New Year, until the Lantern Festival, there were many things in the palace, but I didn’t see you.Zhu Gaoxu said a little guiltyly, I asked Wang Gui to send a gift, do you like it?
Ma Enhui smiled and said softly: Thank you for your kindness.Come in first, the wind is strong on the lake.
Until now, I took it with me that I repeated many times in the morning and still occasionally echoed in my mind.
He should be with the fair concubine Yao Ji tonight.Sometimes when the concubines serve in bed, they come to the Ganqing Palace to meet after they are dressed up.But today he was planning to go to Xianfei Palace and beside the Western Six Palaces by himself.
