Gao Pragmatic still kowtowed in a proper manner: "Your Majesty Xie." Then he stood up solemnly. Although the emperor is close enough to Gao Gong, it does not mean that Gao Zheng does not need to pay attention to etiquette, as an old fritter who has been in the position of the first secretary of the county party committee for several years, many people do not blame this sentence is also one of his creeds. As for kowtowing, he had already broken the psychological barrier a few years ago - in fact, he was forced to be helpless, so he had to say to himself like Ah Q: Anyway, they are all kneeling ancients, I don't know how many generations of ancestors, what's the big deal.

Sure enough, Long Qing said with a smile: "The Gao family's style is rigorous, and I can be regarded as knowledgeable." Then he said to Gao Gong: "I heard that my husband has brought his nephew with him, and I have ordered him to go down and ask the prince to accompany him...... Uh, I'm here to talk to Xiao Gaoqing's house. ”

Gao Gong was okay, but he thanked the emperor, but Gao Pragmatic was taken aback again, and said secretly: "It seems that I still underestimate the status of the third uncle in the emperor's mind, just like me now, just because I am 'Mr. Gao's nephew', the emperor actually called the prince to accompany me?" This is really a world view that has been subverted......" After thinking about it, he still said politely: "The kid is slightly white, how dare he work for His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Long Qing waved his hand with a smile and said: "It's okay, since the prince was studying, because of the rules of the palace, even his younger brother has rarely seen him, and I see that he is also bored and panicked on weekdays." The two of you seem to be the age difference, and you can play together if you want to. Feng Bao, you take Xiao Gaoqing's family to the side hall to wait, and then send someone to urge the prince. ”

Feng Bao hurriedly responded, and politely led Gao Pragmatic away. Long Qing took Gao Gong's hand and entered the main hall with a spring breeze on his face.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Gao Gong's side of the monarch and ministers of the teachers and students will not talk about the old for the time being, here Gao Cheng followed Feng Bao into a side hall, Feng Bao led him to sit in the outer hall, and said: "The little master should be at the concubine Niangniang's, our family estimates the time, I think it's almost here, Mr. Xiao Gao, please take a break, let's go pick up the master." ”

Xiao Ye, there is no doubt that he is talking about the prince, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace of the Ming Dynasty have the title of "little master" for the prince, and this analogy also refers to the emperor as "emperor", "long live grandpa" and the like, but the "long live lord" commonly used in later film and television dramas is relatively rare - of course, there are too many fallacies in film and television dramas, and it is already trivial to be like this.

Gao pragmatic listened to his tone so polite that he could almost be called respectful, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery. However, what is the matter with people now is also in charge of Dongchang and the Imperial Horse Supervisor [Note: The Imperial Horse Supervisor is not in charge of horses but in charge of military power. ], belong to the secret service agency and the military power of the capital, both hands are hard to grasp the real power of the big eunuch, looking at the inner court, should be regarded as the second person, his own white-bodied little child is just relying on the prestige of the third uncle, or not to fake the tiger, so he quickly stood up and bowed decently: "How can the boy be so polite." ”

Feng Bao hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Eh, where is Mr. Xiao Gao, with the family history of the Xinzheng Gao family, Mr. Xiao Gao is still afraid that he will not be an important minister of the cabinet after a few years?" Our family is just a subordinate who serves the emperor, so we should be respectful in advance, and that is nothing......"

When Gao Pragmatic heard him say this, he said in his heart: "Good opportunity!" Busy said: "The boy doesn't dare to agree with the words of the factory boss - he is too modest!" Even if the third uncle of my family mentions the factory on weekdays, he also praises him, and praises the factory as the leader of the Confucian eunuchs in the inner court today, if it is not for the ...... Ah, I would like to recommend the factory to go further! ”

Feng Bao couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard him say that Gao Gong praised himself at home, and said secretly: "If Gao Suqing really knows how to praise me, why don't I, Feng, have no palm prints so far?" As a result, when I heard the "Ruo Fei" later, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat: "Is there anything hidden here?" High arch ...... Why didn't you recommend me for another reason? ”

But it's inconvenient to ask directly, especially if the other party looks smart enough and doesn't behave like a child of a few years old, but after all, it's only the first time I've met him, what if the other party is just a strict family education, so the etiquette is thorough, in fact, the mind is still just an ordinary child? If something gets out, it's not beautiful.

Feng Bao thought like this, and he didn't plan to chase after this matter, his eyes rolled, he pretended to be very happy and laughed, and his mouth became more and more polite: "Eh, Mr. Xiao Gao, don't praise it, although our family is quite attentive to studying, but in front of Gao Ge Lao's round of Haoyue, our family's ability, I'm afraid that the light of rice grains is not counted, where can we dare to be this Confucian character?" ”

Gao Shishi was about to take advantage of the situation to give Feng Bao another high hat, but he heard a childish child's voice coming: "Big companion, when did you study hard?" Obviously, when I was studying, you fell asleep watching from the sidelines......"

The person who said this didn't have to think about it, it could only be the current crown prince and the future Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun.

Gao Shishi saw that Feng Bao's face was embarrassed, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help moving, but he pretended to be unaware and turned his head to look at the door. I saw a boy about his own height, with red lips and white teeth, walking in with a smile.

He wore a vermilion dress and a small round black hat on his head to cover his bare head—children in the Ming Dynasty had a custom of shaving their hair, and royal children were no exception. There is a special grate room in the palace, and there are usually more than ten attendants, who are responsible for asking for hair, hair retention, bagging, and plastic surgery (grooming) for the royal children. When the prince and the princess are born, they cut their hair in the full moon, and after the name of the hundred days, they will shave their hair on schedule, which is called "please hair". At least in this regard, the royal children are no different from the children of the people, they all have to shave off all their hair, leaving no one, "like the Buddha".

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now wearing a six-petal round hat made of dark green crepe on his head, which is called the "claw pull hat". Generally speaking, boys begin to grow their hair when they are in their teens, and after a year of hair growth, they choose an auspicious day to "put their hair in the bag", that is, the hair is always tied at the back of the head, contained in a special bag, and hung down behind the body. The bag is about two inches wide, more than a long foot, and is made of dark silk in winter and dark yarn in summer. Generally speaking, it is not until the prince chooses to marry a concubine that he chooses an auspicious crown ceremony to show his adulthood.

However, if the princes were crowned princes or queens, they would be rewarded by the imperial court with crown clothes, such as crown clothes, leather clothes, regular clothes, and Baohe crown clothes created during the Jiajing period. Gao Shishi is a little strange that although the prince is young at the moment, he has indeed been crowned the prince, so why he is still dressed like this is a bit surprising. Thinking about it, it was probably because the emperor didn't expect Gao Gong to bring him in, so he didn't inform the prince in advance, and the prince may usually be very casual in the palace, and he didn't dress too "troublesomely".

Of course, these are trivial things, Gao Pragmatic is too lazy to delve into it, he just glanced at the prince, in terms of appearance, there is nothing prominent, of course, there is nothing abrupt, a little face with red lips and white teeth is a little baby fat, round, standing from the perspective of looking at children, it is quite cute.

He knew that the children of the royal family were very sensitive to some etiquette, and he didn't dare to delay more, so he stepped forward to salute: "Xiaomin is pragmatic and has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." He did not kneel down and kowtow, but took a deep bow - this is in line with his background as a scholar in an official family, after all, although the prince is already a "king" in theory, he is only a prince after all, and he is not used and is not suitable for the same as when facing the emperor.

"No courtesy." Listening to the tone of the prince, this sentence was said very casually.

However, Gao Shishi didn't dare to be too casual, and still straightened up after this salute - he was not familiar with this young master.
