Miao Jin entered the palace yesterday because Empress Xu summoned her.
She knew that Zhu Gaoxu was married, but she did not go to watch the ceremony; until today, she came to Kunning Palace, wanting to see what the Princess of Gaoyang looked like.
Miao Jin was still wearing her Taoist robe and combing her hair into a bun. Today, the cotton fabric of her robe was softer than before, and the cut was more fitting. There was nothing strange about the clothes, but because of her figure, her coldness seemed heroic and her gentleness seemed charming. The soft material was supported by her body, and she inadvertently thought of what Zhu Gaoxu said, and her ears felt a little hot.
Walking into the grand and spacious Kunning Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs all respectfully call her "Master Chi Yue", after all, she is someone the Empress cares about.
Miao Jin was taciturn and ignored the palace servants. She just wasn't in the mood to talk...her mind had alr
After lunch at the palace, the two princes and their princess left. Zhu Di went to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to rest. He wanted to take a nap, but he suddenly remembered something that he had not done, so he sent someone to find some eunuchs.Zhu Di had just taken control of the huge Ming Dynasty, and there were endless things to do every day. He could only hide all his emotions in his heart and proceed one by one according to the method he had thought of.Soon, the eight eunuchs whose names were called arrived at the East Warm Pavilion.Zhu Di took a look and saw that everyone was there.They were all eunuchs, including Zheng He (originally named Ma He) and Baoer (originally named Li Qian) from Yunnan; Yunxiang (originally named Mengge) and Tian Jiahe (originally named Haratimu) from the Hu people; there was also the Jurchen Wang An (originally named Buhuadu), the Xifan Mengji (originally named Tianer), Gou'er (originally named Wan
"Scheming woman! Scheming woman..." The parrot called a few times. It had been released from the cage and fluttered on the wooden frame. Unexpectedly, the bird's feet were still tied with chains, and it could only move in a small space.The maid next to her tilted her head to glance at the parrot and continued to slowly wipe the table. Because she was alone, her movements were very slow, as if she was dozing off and absent-minded.At this moment, the parrot suddenly made a duck-like scream. The maid turned around and her face turned pale. A yellow cat was biting the bird's neck and dragging it off the shelf. But there was a chain on the bird's feet, so the cat held the bird's neck and swung back and forth on the wooden shelf together, like a swing.The maid hurried over and caught the cat with both hands, but the cat was still holding the bird in its mouth."Someone come, someone come..." the palace maid shouted hurriedly.Soon, several eunuchs a
The sky was foggy and dark clouds were slowly rolling in. Although there was no sunshine, it was very hot and stuffy.The shop of Jiming Temple on Xiangzhu Street was still doing business. Yao Ji looked at the familiar shop through the veil in front of her hat for a while, then walked towards the alley again.At the entrance of the alley, she stood at a specific place, and in a trance, she seemed to see a tall and strong young man holding a cat standing there, his eyes were burning, and it was as if something tangible gently touched her face. When Yao Ji reached out to touch him, the man had disappeared.She seemed to have several places to go, but she didn't seem to know where to go. This feeling was like her wandering mood....Yao Ji was unwilling to work hard for Yao Guangxiao anymore, because the success or failure of those great things had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care; if she continued, even if she could accomplish the so-called gre
Summer rain always comes so fast and suddenly that people are caught off guard.The heavy rain did not stop until the next day. This was Zhu Gaoxu's second visit to Jiming Temple. As soon as he entered the temple, he heard two people discussing how to deal with the newly arrived nuns. So Zhu Gaoxu angrily grabbed the two nuns and took them to the nunnery."I dare not lie. The person I was talking about was definitely not Yao Ji..." a nun was defending herself.Just then, a door opened and Yao Ji stood at the door, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand. She stood there, looking at Zhu Gaoxu, who looked like a drowned rat, with her bright eyes for a long time.Zhu Gaoxu stood in the heavy rain, straightened his back, and looked at her through the rain. He let out a long breath. Yao Ji's big eyes seemed to be filled with mixed feelings, and then she laughed again, and quickly covered her red lips with her hand.She gently placed the umbrella at
On the corridor of the Prince's Mansion after the rain, Guo Wei was walking in the crowd. The eunuch Huang Gou beside her bent over and looked very respectful. "Your Majesty, please go slowly. The ground is not flat."At this moment, Yao Ji came towards them holding a cat. Everyone turned their eyes to Yao Ji, and Guo Wei also became a little nervous.However, when they were still far away, Yao Ji took the initiative to step aside, and when Guo Wei approached, she clasped her hands in front of her stomach and bowed silently.Guo Wei and the others walked over, and suddenly no one said anything. Everyone looked at the little yellow cat in Yao Ji's arms. The cat in Yao Ji's arms was smaller than the one that killed the parrot, so it was obviously not the same one.Guo Wei walked past Yao Ji and couldn't help but turn her head to look at her. Even though Guo Wei was a woman, she could feel that Yao Ji exuded an alluring aura, from her shiny jade-white ski
Salted duck and bone radish soup were served one after another. Salted duck looked like white meat, nothing special, but it tasted good. The meat had the flavor of sweet osmanthus, and when dipped in the dipping sauce made of fried soybean powder, onion and garlic, it was full of fragrance when you took a bite.Perhaps Zhu Gaoxu's appearance of enjoying food did not look like that of a prince who enjoyed all the wealth and luxury. But he still felt this purest and most direct moment of joy and satisfaction in the bustling pavilion and in the dazzling market of the capital.People in this world will bear too many responsibilities, sufferings, and helplessness. Isn't the most interesting process like this, to get a little satisfaction from time to time?After eating and drinking, Zhu Gaoxu and the other two walked out of Fuleyuan and waited in the carriage for a while, and then Wang Gui came back.Zhu Gaoxu lifted the carriage curtain and asked Wang Gui
In the Prince's Mansion, the maid who combs the hair of the Prince's wife has always been Luo'er.Luo'er looks ordinary, but she is clever, meticulous, and good at reading people's expressions, which wins Zhang's heart. If the Crown Princess Zhang doesn't have Luo'er to serve her for a day, she will feel uncomfortable all over.This afternoon, Luo'er was extra careful when combing the hair of the Crown Prince's Consort. At this time, Zhang's face looked particularly ugly, just like the sky covered with dark clouds. There was no thunder or rain yet, but people had to take precautions against getting wet in the rain.Probably because the prince was severely reprimanded by his father in the palace in the morning, and then the professors and other officials in the prince's mansion were also arrested and sent to the imperial prison. The prince came back in disgrace and argued with Zhang for a long time behind closed doors.Luo'er's hands were gentle and ste
In the early morning when it is just dawn, the scenery of Jade Street is even more beautiful than in broad daylight.Zhu Gaoxu looked out from the corner of the carriage curtain and saw two fairly neat rows of classical houses on the long street. With the dawn light and sporadic lantern light, the walls were mostly white. There was fresh moisture in the air, and the merchants who had just opened their doors added a bit of popularity.Only when he got closer could he see the mottled marks on the wall, the ugly brown dirt that was exposed after the lime had cracked and fallen, and the faint traces of urine in the corners.After the carriage passed a graffiti on the wall, we could see the jade shop that Zhu Gaoxu bought. The graffiti was outlined with charcoal and seemed to be a deer, but it could also be a ram. Rams should also have horns on their heads.Zhu Gaoxu came to the jade shop several times, almost always early in the morning, when he went out b
