After seeing his mentor and Zhu Gaoxu off, Gao Xianning returned to the brothel's guest room, packed his things, and sat in the room for a long time.
The sounds of stringed instruments and the woman's emphatically sung songs from outside were now boring and he had lost all interest. Although those things were beautiful, they could only be appreciated when one had nothing to do and was not tired.
But now Gao Xianning was worried. Wouldn't it be wrong to say that the safety of his mentor Qi Tai was enough to worry about just one thing: his illicit affair to protect imperial prisoners was seen by King Yan's own son Zhu Gaoxu. As long as Zhu Gaoxu speaks out, everything will be over!
But what Zhu Gaoxu said makes sense. If he was here to harm others, why bother?
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and a woman's voice said, "The man with the Shandong accent is inside. His friend is generous and says that the Shandong scribe is a stude
There are many government offices on both sides of the wide Qianbu Corridor. The Hanlin Academy is located behind the Qianbu Corridor and is one of the government offices closest to the Wumen Gate of the Imperial Palace in the imperial city.Gao Xianning was on duty in this government office. He was a humble and easy-going person. Although most of his colleagues were Jinshi graduates, they soon became familiar with him.In the Hanlin Academy, there was really no unlearned person among the people he interacted with, and the people he made friends with were all well-educated and well-mannered. His colleagues were very polite and elegant to each other. The environment was also good, and Gao Xianning soon felt that being an official here was quite good.The capital therefore left a good impression on Gao Xianning.There was only one colleague who looked down on Gao Xianning. Soon Gao Xianning heard a talkative colleague tell him: that person said behind hi
In late April of the 35th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di appointed Xu as the empress. A few days after the ceremony, the empress's children came to congratulate her one after another, and Xu then held a family banquet in the Imperial Garden to entertain her relatives.When the prince received the imperial edict, Yuan Gong had just arrived at the prince's mansion.Yuan Gong came directly from Xuanzang Temple. He was originally a fortune teller and did not believe in Buddhism. He went to the temple only because Yao Guangxiao lived in the temple. Yuan Gong and Jin Zhong were both recommended to the Prince of Yan's Palace by Yao Guangxiao, which is why they have the high positions and generous salaries they have today.Yao Guangxiao played a great role in the "Battle of Jingnan". After the emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to give him a mansion and palace maids, but he refused to accept anything and just lived in the temple. In the mor
As Zhu Gaoxu and the eunuch walked to a row of double-eaved houses, they saw the eunuch Zheng He walking quickly towards them."Nice to meet you, Eunuch Zheng." Zhu Gaoxu was the first to greet.Zheng He glanced at the eunuch next to him, stepped forward and bowed, and said in a deep voice, "Empress Ma of Jianwen wanted to tie a rope to commit suicide. Fortunately, the palace maid discovered it early and called for help in time. Later, Ma wanted to see Prince Gaoyang, and the emperor allowed it and ordered me to come to you.""Why does Ma want to see me?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.Zheng He said, "Ma asked the palace maids where Wengui was. No one could answer at first, so she looked for an opportunity to commit suicide. Later, someone told her that Wengui was in Fengyang, but she didn't believe it and wanted to see King Gaoyang. Maybe because King Gaoyang saved her life, the person she trusted the most was you."Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the sun that was almos
The mother of Zhu Gaoxu and others was canonized as queen. Within a few days, all the heroes of "Jingnan" were rewarded for their merits, and many of them were granted the title of duke, marquis or uncle. Only the emperor's children have not yet been granted titles, and Zhu Gaoxu and others still hold the title of county king and princess.The prince is usually relatively idle and has no control over the civil and military affairs of the court. Unless summoned by the emperor, Zhu Gaoxu did not even have to go to daily court affairs. Most of the time, it can be said to be doing nothing....The Prince of Gaoyang County has not caused any trouble in the capital for several months, and has not heard of any murders. All the ministers are very lucky. Rumor has it that because of his lust, he has acquired a beautiful little nun, a brothel singer, a few snatched folk girls, and others. They spend all day in the house to show off their prostitution and have no time to caus
After the drums of Youshi sounded, the officials in various government offices went off duty, and the emperor was about to take the royal chariot back to the harem. The day's business was coming to an end, and only the eunuchs and maids of each palace had to take turns to continue working.There were tens of thousands of people in the palace, but almost none of them could see the emperor. For several months, Zhu Di slept alone or with the queen at night, never spending the night in other concubines' rooms.Empress Xu was a virtuous person and would occasionally advise the emperor to get wet with rain and dew. Zhu Di then called other concubines to sleep with him, and when he was done, he asked people to take him away, but he still did not leave any concubines to spend the night.As soon as Zhu Di passed through Qianqing Gate today, he ordered his team to go directly to Kunning Palace and still look for Queen Xu.Queen Xu had just been canonized as quee
The Gaoyang County Prince's Mansion was foggy, with many people cleaning the yard and the air filled with dust. Zhu Gaoxu walked on the eaves, watching the eunuchs and palace maids busying themselves there, and officials from the Imperial Clan Court coming in and out, busy posting paper-cut couplets and leading people to move things into the gatehouse.Several maids from the palace took the rags down from the window and knelt together in greeting.Zhu Gaoxu then asked, "Whose maids are you?"A maidservant said, "Your Highness, we used to be maidservants in Kunning Palace. The Queen said that there are not enough people in your house, not even enough to serve the Princess, so she sent some maidservants here.""Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.He continued to walk around the house, feeling very strange, as if marriage had nothing to do with him, and it was all taken care of by others. He heard that someone would come to teach him etiquette and that kind of
Zhu Gaoxu also got up early in the morning. He heard that the princess had been given a golden seal and golden book, but he didn't know when it happened. Professor Hou Hai seemed to know a little bit of etiquette, and reminded Zhu Gaoxu, "When the prince goes to welcome the bride, when you arrive at the Princess's central hall, stand and bow four times to the Princess's parents. They only bow twice..."Hou Hai was still gesturing there. Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at him. Seeing his funny movements, he couldn't help but smile.Another palace maid came in and trimmed Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows and beard, put a little rouge on his lips, and applied a thin layer of powder on his cheeks.Then he began to dress, Zhu Gaoxu wore a green top and a blue-red skirt.He put on a crown on his head, which was a kind of cap with beads hanging on the front and back, like the head portrait hat on paper money for the dead. He felt very uncomfortable wearing this hat, and the bea
It was broad daylight outside the carved window, but red candles had been lit in the bridal chamber, and red wedding characters were pasted on the windows, cabinets, and beds. The bright red color concealed the bride's gorgeousness, and contrasted her childish, pure, fair face with even more charm.Guo's cheeks were flushed and she was full of shame, but she was smiling faintly, which was an indescribable shyness and tenderness.When Zhu Gaoxu walked towards her, she avoided his gaze, but she was clearly watching him from the corner of her eyes, as if she couldn't stand the strong affection between them and wanted to hide, but couldn't bear to.She sat upright by the bed, dignified and beautiful, holding her hands together on her knees, too nervous to move; under the dignified and reserved posture, she was clearly sitting by the bed waiting for something, without the slightest intention of resisting, as if she was catering to that thing. It was hard to tell
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
