Zhu Gaoxu entered the inner city from Yanque Lake, and then returned to the palace. At this time, the afternoon sun was still very bright.

There is nothing to do today, Zhu Gaoxu left the palace to pick a day; I could have returned to the palace later, just before the inner city was closed. But he was kicked out by Ma Enhui.

Almost all women have an obedient and welcoming attitude towards Zhu Gaoxu; After getting used to this, he suddenly encountered something like today, which was very unexpected and uncomfortable.

But he didn't do much, and he didn't even force Ma Enhui at all, so he went back to the palace. Compared with the kindness and righteousness of the two, of course this matter will not make Zhu Gaoxu angry, he is just a little confused.

It was still early, so Zhu Gaoxu spent an afternoon in the Dongnuan Pavilion, where he reviewed the recitals and did some serious work.

He didn't pay much attention to most government affairs, so he approved it easily, and he couldn't help but think about Ma Enhui for a while. There was only one copy of the recital of the junior official of the Guozijian, which slightly attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention.

The content in the recital is to persuade the crown prince to be established, the reason is that the eldest prince Zhan Yan should go out of the cabinet to study at the age of seven; Only when the foundation of the country is determined, can the imperial court build the East Palace, select good ministers and Confucians for the great prince, teach the scriptures and righteousness, and cultivate virtues.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it for a long time, decided not to approve this recital, and sent it directly to the cabinet, and then waited for the transcription of the six branches of the corridor to be published.

In this way, more important ministers will come out one after another to persuade the crown prince, and things can continue to develop.

Zhu Gaochu likes Zhan Gao very much, when Zhan Gao was born, he was busy with various wars in Yunnan, and that experience of tribulation made Zhu Gaoxu's feelings for his eldest son more special. The key Zhan Gully is the eldest son, Zhu Gaoxu really doesn't want to toss, not to mention that there is no reason not to choose Zhan Gully. Like his father back then, he didn't like Gao Chi so much, and in the end, the emperor's will was compromised, after all, the matter of abolishing the elder and the young is very complicated.

Before the unitary time, Zhu Gaoxu left the Dongnuan Pavilion.

When he walked to the ramp, the eunuch told him that he should sleep with the concubine tonight. Zhu Gaoxu didn't summon Miaojin either, and went straight to the Guifei Palace in the west of Kunning Palace in a sedan chair.

Miaojin wore regular clothes and a phoenix crown, and led the crowd to greet him at the main gate of the palace. After seeing the ceremony, the group walked inside, and Miaojin said: "The concubine heard that the saint did not have dinner, so she asked someone to prepare wine and food, and the saint please move the dining room." ”

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and then couldn't help but glance back at Miaojin standing behind the side, feeling that something was not quite right with her today. This situation made Zhu Gaoxu feel in a trance that he was still in the royal gate, and he was doing business with a clear eye.

The two of them went to the dining room and took a seat at a round table. Immediately, the palace ladies began to serve dinner, came up with water to wash their hands and faces, and the eunuchs of Shangshan Jian also came to the small room outside to wait for the tasting.

Zhu Gaoxu casually chatted a few words and talked about ice storage equipment. Miaojin also responded in a proper manner.

After a while, four dishes, a soup and a small pot of wine were served. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu said: "Tell everyone to go down, the eunuchs outside the front door, as well as the female officials who played the piano, have all withdrawn." ”

"Yes." The palace ladies standing around curtsied one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down at himself, and then reached out to touch his forehead. Seeing this, Miao Jin asked, "What's wrong with the saint?" ”

"Am I doing something wrong that makes you angry?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

Miaojin's face suddenly turned red, and she almost didn't laugh, but in an instant she had stabilized her expression: "There's nothing wrong." What does the saint do, where is the turn of the concubine to say? ”

Zhu Gaoxu sandwiched a piece of white duck meat and dipped it in the dipping plate, still thinking about it while eating.

The two of them ate silently for a while, and Miao Jin said, "Don't think about it, it's really nothing." ”

"I don't believe it." Zhu Gaoxu said. He pondered, could it be that he went out of the palace to see Ma Enhui today, and Miaojin knew? If Zhu Gaoxu had just finished looking for another woman and came to get close to Miaojin, she would care about this kind of thing. But Zhu Gaoxu really didn't do anything today.

He couldn't explain, so he could only calm down first and wait for Miaojin's answer. Otherwise, if you guess wrong, you will be asking for new troubles.

It's strange to think about this, Zhu Gaoxu is not afraid that the queen will know his whereabouts today, but he is not very calm in front of the concubine.

Miaojin glanced at Zhu Gaoxu from time to time, and she finally sighed and said, "That "Science Translation of the Kingdoms", the Holy Lord wants to give it to Concubine Xian, I have nothing to say. But why didn't the Holy One tell me first? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said suddenly: "The main reason is for Yao Ji's brother Yao Fang, so that the books can have a source." ”

"Oh......" Miaojin nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, put down his chopsticks and said kindly: "It's our secret, I know it's wrong, it's really because of negligence." It's come to this, don't be angry anymore, I want to compensate you in another way. ”

Miaojin was stunned for a moment, and her well-dressed makeup did not hide her expression. That beautiful face was a little moved and surprised, and at a certain moment it seemed that she was about to burst into laughter, which made Zhu Gaoxu look forward to her smiling and scolding. However, after her various subtle emotions calmed down a little, she sighed faintly.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

Miao Jin said: "How can the emperor speak like this? I really can't help you. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "They are all gone, and there are no outsiders." ”

Miaojin sighed again, put down her chopsticks, glanced at him and said, "Eat, it'll be cold for a while." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You also eat." ”

"It's full." Miaojin's charming apricot eyes still looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and she seemed to be a little distracted. After a moment she put her arm on the table, propped up her chin and continued to pound him.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head lightly and continued to eat and drink, he was really hungry at this hour.

After dinner, Zhu Gaoxu beckoned the palace people in. Everyone took cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks, and waited to rinse their mouths and serve tea. Zhu Gaoxu and Miaojin continued to sit in the dining room, he picked up the teacup, and waved his hand to let the waiters retreat.

Miao Jin picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, she applied fat powder tonight, and a shallow red mark was left on the blue and white porcelain cup. She saw Zhu Gaoxu looking at the teacup again, so she silently took out a piece of silk and gently rubbed it on the rim of the cup.

"Gao Xu doesn't have to think about it, I think it's his own business." Miao Jin said softly.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, continued to drink tea, and did not speak.

Miaojin looked at the sunset outside the window and muttered: "Think about it, Gao Xu treats me very well, completely ignoring morality and etiquette, and has to make me a concubine and give me a name." I've known each other for so many years, you became an emperor, but you still let me. She looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a self-deprecating smile, and the slender and upturned charm of the corners of her eyes, and the bright apricot eyes were quite amorous with a smile, "It's just that people like me are not satisfied." ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened carefully and said: "Since I became a vassal king, I have had several wives and concubines. Guo Wei cares very much about her status as the queen and the status of the queen, and she also cares about the honor she brings to the Guo family. Du Qianrui got rid of the difficult situation of her hometown and got a stable home.

Yao Ji wants to be pampered, to be unwronged, to be pampered, and to be pampered, and something else; She wasn't happy that I was sharing my favor with others, but she was still able to recognize the reality. Anyway, after so many years, they are more or less balanced. ”

Miaojin looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a smile and listened quietly.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "And Miaojin is not dissatisfied, you don't want power, nor status and wealth. Maybe you haven't found peace of mind, or maybe you want something that I just can't give. ”

Miao Jin frowned and said: "Before you met Gao Xu, you had a concubine at the beginning, and then you obeyed your father and queen mother to arrange a big wedding and marry a wife. I don't care that you have a group of wives and concubines, not to mention that you are now an emperor...... I just care, but I can't help it, forget it. It's just that there are some things that I can't help but feel uncomfortable! ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "For example, I gave the book to Yao Ji privately?" ”

Miaojin nodded, gritted her teeth and blurted out: "Gao Xu's heart is towards others, not mine." ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately looked helpless.

Miaojin walked over, sat beside him, and took the initiative to hug Zhu Gaoxu's arm: "Looking back now, the best place I have ever lived...... Do you know where it is? ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and had to shake his head.

Miao Jin said softly: "Behind the palace of Gaoyang County in Beiping City, that cellar. ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked puzzled.

Miao Jin said: "You dug it with your own hands, as well as the wall curtains, beds, bedding, and even various uses, all of which were carefully arranged by Gao Xu." It's small, stuffy, and not too flashy, but it's all there, and it's comfortable to live in, who would have thought that you would be locked up in that kind of place and have everything? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was still very helpless: "The things that Miaojin wants are always so peculiar. Perhaps, you are indeed not suitable for the palace, but you are an ordinary and honest person who can give you more. ”

Miao Jin shook his head and said: "If I hadn't met you, and if my father hadn't wanted to assassinate me back then, I would have wanted to become a monk, and I wouldn't have embarrassed you to be a vassal king or emperor." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Or...... I'll dig another cellar in the Qianqing Palace? ”

Miao Jin didn't pay attention, and when she heard this, she immediately laughed out loud, her face was also red, and she dragged Zhu Gaoxu's arm and pushed it twice: "But you have to dig it yourself." ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't smile, and said gently: "The world can't be as good as it should be, even if I become an emperor." Your current thoughts, as well as your desire to live in seclusion in the past, are a bit too unearthly fireworks, forget it? ”

Miao Jin said in his ear: "I can't either, I can't make myself obedient." I had thought about it before, and I had to be a good concubine in the rules, but as soon as you came, you asked questions and admitted your mistakes, and I didn't hold on for even a day. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said thoughtfully: "Entering the WTO or being born, Taoism or Confucianism, ordinary people or emperors, people who are too attached to their hearts are always so contradictory......"

Miao Jin suddenly interrupted him: "We are talking well, and your hand is taken out of your clothes." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You still dare to resist, believe it or not, I will treat you for a big crime of disrespect." ”

"As long as you are willing." Miao Jin glared at him with a red face, and there was no fear at all.
