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
"We're just going to swallow our anger and let him do bad things behind our backs?" In the prince's house, Zhang's fingertips trembled slightly with anger, and hatred was clearly written on her face.The incident of the "Benevolent and Holy Emperor" in Shandong had just passed, and it would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned. But today, Yuan Gong came to the Prince's Mansion and mentioned it, and Zhang's anger could no longer be suppressed.Her eyes swept across the faces of the prince and Yuan Gong, and she said coldly, "We all know that the second uncle is insidious and cunning. He even used the Junying grass to poison the prince! Didn't the matter end in vain? We endured it once, how many times do we have to endure it?Gao Xu can't be clean, we have to find something to hold against him and fight back!"The prince frowned but said nothing.Yuan Gong hurriedly whispered, "Anger can easily lead to mistakes, Crown Princess, calm down. Mas
When Yao Ji was still young and could not remember much, she went to live in the place called "Li Linzhuang".In a daze, she heard a little boy call out in a crisp voice, "Daddy!"A dark-skinned man said "Hey" in response, and the wrinkles on his face immediately melted away, becoming amiable and less stern. After a while, the man squatted down and let the little boy ride on his broad shoulders. The little boy made an exaggerated cry, shouting "It's so high" and giggling."Daddy, I want to ride a horse too!" Yao Ji ran over, raised her little head, and looked up at the tall man with difficulty.The rough wrinkles on the man's face solidified immediately, as if a frost suddenly fell in June, freezing the man's face stiff and lifeless. He became the taciturn farmer again, with an expression of adult authority that could not be challenged."Don't call me dad or uncle anymore!" the man ordered seriously....Yao Ji suddenly woke up and felt cold
Yao Ji was put down. She held the table with one hand and pressed her heaving chest with the other. She stopped laughing and exhaled, "It's so scary! I was afraid of falling."Originally she wanted to ride it herself. Just like a girl watching a horror movie, the scarier it is, the more she wants to watch it.Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said casually, "Then I have to go.""Your Highness, can you not go?" Yao Ji suddenly asked."Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised, because he didn't say he was going out today."Can the prince not go to Jurong County?" Yao Ji blurted out with a trembling voice.After saying this, her face instantly lost all color. The bright light in her eyes seemed to be changing a thousand times, sometimes with determination, sometimes full of fear, and sometimes with a bit of regret and hesitation.She gently pulled her hand back from the table, moving very slowly, as if she was afraid of making any noise.Zhu Gaox
Emperor Zhu Di returned to the palace from Xuanzang Temple in a disguised uniform. It was still more than an hour before the end of the Youshi shift. He was very busy after becoming the emperor, but today he did not go to the court to work, but went directly to Kunning Palace.At this time, Zhu Di went to see Queen Xu, probably to ask about the matter of appointing a crown prince....As for his mother, Empress Xu, Zhu Gaoxu first met her when he was sixteen years old. At that time, he had been granted the title of a prince and had his own mansion. After that, he never lived with his mother again, and even the chances to meet her were limited.Zhu Gaoxu didn't have the chance to receive Xu's maternal love, but he did feel the warmth of motherhood or women...For example, when Zhu Gaoxu sneaked into the capital last year, it was said that after Xu found out, she did not hesitate to quarrel with Zhu Di because she was worried that Gaoxu was in dang
