Zhu Gaoxu didn't do much for a whole day, but he felt very tired at dusk. Probably in an impetuous mood, there are too many thoughts, and a lot of energy is wasted in vain.

News about the Navy did not wait either.

It's normal, and what happened thousands of miles apart won't be able to be transmitted back to Jingshi for a while. He left the imperial court and went back to the harem, and when he left the Rouyi Palace, he did not forget to instruct the eunuch Wang Gui: "No matter what time it is, as long as there is news of the navy, report to me immediately." ”

Wang Gui hugged the dust and bowed in agreement.

Today, Zhu Gaoxu should go to see Yao Ji, he followed the order and ordered the eunuch carrying the sedan chair to go to the Xianfei Palace.

The main building of the Xianfei Palace is similar to the other palaces of the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, which are almost the same. It's just that some small pavilions, corridors, flowers, mountains and stones are not the same, and each concubine will also make different arrangements according to her own preferences. The imperial concubine is the master of each palace, and on their own territory, they can roughly do whatever they want.

When Yao Ji welcomed him to the palace, Zhu Gaoxu was inadvertently attracted by the scene in the palace. Of course, it is not the first time Zhu Gaoxu has been here, he is relatively familiar with the things here, but he usually doesn't care much about the decorations, and only cares about Yao Ji's beauty. Today, I paid attention to the small things.

An air of elegance and tranquility came to the face, and there was a certain familiar fragrance in the air.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that there was a finely woven semi-transparent grass curtain hanging on the viewing window on the north wall, and remembered that there were also grass curtains in the East Warm Pavilion, so he walked over.

Next to the window was a wooden table with quaint scholar's objects, an open book, and a confiscated piece of rice paper. That book was actually the life record of the King of Han, and Yao Ji seems to be still reading it today. Zhu Gaoxu's eyes swept over the books, and then glanced back at her. Yao Ji just smiled at him.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the words on the paper again, which were poems copied by Yao Ji himself: After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream. The bamboo noise returns to the Huannu, and the lotus moves the fishing boat. Feel free to rest in spring, and the kings and grandchildren can stay.

He simply sat down and looked at the handwriting carefully, only to feel that his impetuous mood seemed to have calmed down a lot. Yao Ji's words look very comfortable, graceful and neat, and just looking at the words can make people think of beauties.

"Beautiful." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help blurting out.

Yao Ji's voice said softly: "It is far worse than the words on the saint, the words on the saint have the style of a famous artist, and the pen is strong." The words of the concubine can't stand up to the details, but they are just entertaining themselves. ”

She said a little reasonable, the teacher that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang found for the emperors and grandsons back then was a great Confucian from Jinshi, and it must not be the style of Mr. Yao Ji is also very knowledgeable, and the rhetoric is very appropriate. Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "I like it very much, I don't have a little mood, and I can't write such a clean and beautiful word." ”

"Really?" Yao Ji's voice was slightly coquettish.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded yes, reached out to hold her silky suppleness, and looked up at her. After Yao Ji gave birth to a longevity, her breasts became fuller. Dressed in a light silk cardigan, her figure became more and more attractive, and the light silk material of the outer garment made her fair and smooth skin color wonderful. Her skin is naturally good, and it is true that others can't compare to it. The glamorous and charming face, red lips and white teeth, and a smile made Zhu Gaoxu a little distracted for a while.

In such an elegant and simple palace room, the hostess is so gorgeous, this disproportionate atmosphere, Zhu Gaoxu didn't feel abrupt at all, and he couldn't explain the reason. Perhaps when you think of the image of "Hollow Valley Orchid", you take it for granted.

Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "We have known each other for many years, and I think Concubine Xian is a person who has entered the WTO. ”

"What is WTO accession?" Yao Ji still had a smile on her face, and asked him softly.

Zhu Gaoxu muttered: "Probably...... does not ignore utilitarianism, cares about grievances, cares about other people's eyes, emotions may fluctuate greatly, and there is some competitiveness. ”

Yao Ji nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "But I think Concubine Xian can sit still very well, for example, she can copy poems quietly and alone. ”

Yao Ji smiled as if inviting merit: "The flowers and plants in the middle of the corridor in the back are also taken care of by myself. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Yes, if you care about utilitarianism, ordinary people don't have this state of mind. ”

Yao Ji's smile gradually faded, and after a while, she muttered: "I used to grow up in the countryside, and there were not as many people in the countryside as there were Jingshi, so I could only be accompanied by flowers, trees, chickens, ducks, and poultry. But my adoptive father and adoptive mother were all laymen, and they were full of grievances and calculations for the sake of the children, Daoyan's money, and the women outside. Maybe that's why I was born and entered the world? ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Gaoxu nodded, looked at her again and said, "It makes sense." ”

Yao Ji whispered again: "The first time I entered this palace, I was a palace maid. Doing some dirty chores every day is a waste of time and has no expectations. Then she was sent to Jiming Temple to be a nun, and her situation was worse than in the palace, but she didn't come over all those years. Now that I am a virtuous concubine, guarding such a person as the saint, what is there to panic about? ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled after hearing this: "It's very real. ”

Yao Ji's bright eyes observed Zhu Gaoxu carefully, and even put her finger on Zhu Gaoxu's cheek, gently caressing the skin under his eyes, she gently pointed to the book on the table again, and said: "The concubine believes that nothing can embarrass the saint, and no one can defeat you, and everything will be fine." ”

Zhu Gaoxu saw that her eyes were full of confidence, and he was suddenly greatly encouraged. He nodded vigorously and replied happily. Then he reached out and hugged Yao Ji's flexible waist and let her get close to him.

Yao Ji seemed to feel the changes in his body, and suddenly turned around slightly, breaking free from Zhu Gaoxu's arms, and his body was very dexterous and silky. She looked back and smiled and said, "I'll have to eat later." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's mood fluctuated slightly because of her demeanor. He felt as if there was an invisible string in the air, and he was being touched by Yao Ji.

Yao Ji said: "The concubine makes a new cup of tea for the saint." ”

Her figure shuttles through the antique palace rooms, busy doing the trivial work of making tea. She gossiped from time to time, "Listening to what the eunuch sent said, this is the new tea paid tribute by the Sichuan political envoy, and it uses the young shoots that were only picked this year, and the concubine has tried it very fragrant." ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care very much, so he paced at the door leading to the northern cloister. At this time, the fragrance of flowers outside was even stronger, and he said casually: "It's so fragrant." ”

Yao Ji turned around and said, "There are some jasmine flowers planted in the middle of the corridor. ”

"Yes, it's jasmine." Zhu Gaoxu said suddenly. As soon as he came in, he felt that the fragrance was very familiar, and he was a little confused at the time, but he didn't expect it for a while. But why is jasmine so familiar? Suddenly he remembered something.

Zhu Gaoxu walked out, and sure enough, he saw that the small white flowers in the yard were in full bloom, so he picked some flowers and put them in the palm of his left hand. He returned to the palace, took the jasmine flower, and said, "The bud tea you said should be green tea, try it with some jasmine petals." ”

Yao Ji said: "I'll take the spring water and soak it." ”

Yao Ji made tea in the teapot and soaked the jasmine flowers in it. After waiting for a while, she poured half a cup of tea into a blue and white tea bowl and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu took a sip, then nodded and said, "That's the taste." ”

At this time, flower tea had not yet been released, and Zhu Gaoxu drank the first sip of flower tea in Daming. Green tea itself has an obvious but relatively single aroma, vaguely like crispy fragrance and more obvious jasmine fragrance, the two flavors are very compatible, so that the elegant tea has a rich style.

"You taste it too." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Yao Ji poured half a bowl herself, and her lips took a sip on the edge of the small ceramic bowl, and then smiled: "Fragrant." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Concubine Xian invented a new tea, I will help you choose a name, just call it Piaoxue?" ”

"The scene in the teapot, very similar to the name. Clever hands. Yao Ji smiled and pointed to the corridor outside, "Whether it's tea or name." ”

At this moment, the sound of "rustling" came from outside, and then the noise gradually increased, and there was a noise between the quiet palace, and the sudden rainstorm became more and more ferocious.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much about it, and walked out of the palace with a teacup. He stood on the veranda and watched the jasmine and other flowers and plants in the courtyard hit by the rain, and the branches and leaves were ravaged and shook violently in the wind and rain.

The heavy rain became like a downpour, flying obliquely in the wind, drifting under the eaves, and wetting the hem of Zhu Gaoxu's robe. Stagnant water forms between the glazed tiles and falls to the ground like a spring along the eaves.

He looked up at the already dim gray sky.

At this time, he felt a soft and warm touch on his back, and Yao Ji gently hugged him behind him. The two of them stood quietly on the eaves together, watching the rain curtain.

"It was very hot and humid early this morning, and I predicted heavy rain in the morning, and sure enough, it happened." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

Yao Ji's voice hummed softly in his ear, which was a response.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Even if it rains heavily in Jingshi, it can't make people feel terrible things. ”

Yao Ji said softly: "The concubine feels terrible, but fortunately the saint is here tonight." ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, looked at her and smiled, in response.

Yao Ji's eyes rolled upwards and said, "It's like a squeezed smile." ”

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to say: "After the duty, I rarely think about anything else. ”

Yao Ji said kindly: "It's okay. ”

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the tea bowl in his hand and took another sip. The tea bowl was lowered for a distance, and it seemed to freeze in mid-air, but he kept staring at the rain curtain in the air. There was nothing but rain, and the gray sky was empty.
