That day, Zhu Gaoxu came out of the Yanwang Mansion and went straight back to his county palace, completely unbothered to meet his subordinates, and slept in the first room.

returned to Beiping from Beijing, and walked more than 2,000 miles, eating and sleeping on the road, eating and sleeping poorly; I ran away from the Zhuozhou Inn last night, and I didn't close my eyes until I got home. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu understood a truth: people's greatest need is not to eat enough, but to sleep.

When I woke up, the whole room was very bright, and it seemed to be daytime. He couldn't tell what day or hour it was.

He sat up and looked around, it was supposed to be a bedroom, because there was a bed in it. But he didn't sleep on a bed, but on a bare bamboo couch with a futon on his body.

Looking down at himself again, Zhu Gaoxu was still wearing dirty clothes, and his hands were full of mud. He thought about it for a moment, and as soon as he came back yesterday, he slept without changing his clothes or washing up.

Why didn't he sleep in a bed? Because I didn't take a bath, my body was too dirty, and I subconsciously didn't want to stain the bed, so it was troublesome to clean up...... Only then did he come back to his senses, the dignified king, and still afraid of soiling a bed?

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and smiled bitterly, dick silk is always dick silk, and his mentality cannot be completely changed for a while.

At this moment, a slave saw Zhu Gaoxu at the door and said, "The prince is awake!" The slave maid immediately prepared to bathe and change clothes for the prince. ”

"Okay." Zhu Gaoxu responded, glanced at the slave maid, and suddenly his face changed slightly: Why are you so old?!

What about the good things that a group of beautiful women in the imagination serve the bath?

He thought about it, it turned out that Zhu Gaoxu had not yet married, and Princess Xu originally chose one who should have been married last year, but Taizu died last year.

Concubines are also none. Zhu Gaoxu is 16 years old this year, and in the past two or three years, he has hardly entered the house, either in the military camp to teach and arrange troops, or in the army with King Yan.

So he almost didn't care about the affairs of the family, it was almost a mess, and he didn't know who found these maids.

After a while, the middle-aged "maid" with freckles on her face came again, and she glanced at Zhu Gaoxu a little ashamedly: "The slave maid asked someone to prepare a meal, let the slave maid serve the prince to bathe and change clothes." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Take the bathing things in, I'll wash them myself!" ”

He took a bath and changed his clothes, for the slave and maid had brought a blue robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, and he put it on...... Anyway, in later life, he hated wearing brightly colored clothes the most, probably because there was nothing to show off, so he didn't like to be noticed.

The slave maid only took a net towel, and Zhu Gaoxu dried his hair, so he took a turban and tied his hair at will.

Then I ate again, and I was refreshed. After sleeping and eating well, he suddenly felt that he was full of blood again.

When I looked at the middle-aged maid standing next to her, it didn't look too ugly. At this time, he thought that when he woke up just now, this woman was well arranged and quick, and he immediately felt that she was okay to do.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched his waist and said casually: "It rained before? When I fell asleep, I felt a little cold. ”

The woman was surprised and said, "It's not raining!" The slave was afraid that the prince would fall asleep and catch a cold, so she covered you with a quilt. ”

What Zhu Gaoxu wanted was the second half of the sentence, proving that the futon was built by this woman.

He immediately asked, "What's your name?" ”

The woman said: "The slave maid's surname is Wang, there is no name, and the people in the house are called Slave and Maid Wang Auntie." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I forgot, what did you call before?" ”

The woman said: "The prince has never called the slave maid, but he has shouted a few times, hey, come here!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

He stood up and said casually: "Your surname is Wang, what does it have to do with Wang Gui?" ”

Aunt Wang said: "The slave maid has nothing to do with the princess, they are all on an errand in the house, and they just know each other." The prince came back last night, and when he got up this morning, the first thing he did was to open the lock of the storeroom, check the contents of it, and go back to sleep after checking. Although the prince was not in the house, no one dared to move the treasury. ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly asked again: "A girl came back with Wang Gui?" ”

"Oh!" Aunt Wang said, "In the wing room of the front hall, the prince arranged it." ”

After Zhu Gaoxu finished asking, he waved his hand and let Aunt Wang go.

He walked around his house to familiarize himself with the memories in his mind. The county king's mansion and the prince's mansion are not at the same level at all, they are not spacious at all, and they cannot be expanded at will, because they have a ceremonial system, and they can only build more than forty rooms...... This room refers to the width of the house, and some large rooms are more than one room wide.

Zhu Gaoxu's county palace is no exception, with two gatehouses in the front and middle, dividing the mansion into two sections. However, the former king of Gaoyang County has always liked to break the law, he played a side ball, and expanded a garden behind the mansion, there are lakes and rockeries in the garden, and only the pavilion is repaired, not the house, so it is not good to calculate the scale of the house.

There are not many people living in the house, Zhu Gaoxu walked around casually, and after a while, he finished shopping around the garden and the backroom yard. He walked into the middle gatehouse, ready to go to the antechamber to have a look.

The light in the gatehouse is very dim during the day, because there is no need to light the lights during the day, but the lighting is not good. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu saw that Du Qianrui was in the courtyard, and she was facing away from the middle gatehouse, leaning over to stir the wooden handle and draw water from the well. From behind, as she bent forward, the back of her skirt was taut, and her hips were propped up, and the lines were very rounded......

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly didn't want to go out of the building, and he couldn't move his feet, so he stood in the dimly lit gatehouse and watched her.

Du Qianrui had already changed her clothes, wearing a white six-panel waist-length skirt, a pale green narrow-sleeved collared blouse, and she didn't wear any jewelry on her body. At this time, Du Qianrui's dress looked very plain, which was very different from when she was in Nanjing Fuller Courtyard. But it's the plain that looks whiter.

She was doing her chores there, stirring up the water, carrying it to the edge of the ditch, pouring it into the steaming wooden basin, stretching out her fingers and stirring it a few times. Zhu guessed that she wanted to wash her hair.

I've known Du Qianrui for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu hasn't observed her so closely. And every time they met in Nanjing, she wore heavy makeup, her face was full of fat powder, and she almost didn't have the chance to see her original face.

Du Qianrui's mind is exquisite, and her figure is also exquisite. She is not tall, but she is bumpy and convex, full before and after, and what is even more rare is that she does not look fat at all...... Zhu Gaoxu observed for a long time, and then realized that because she had slender bones, she did not look fat.

She squatted down on the eaves facing the gatehouse. Zhu Gaoxu saw her without makeup, her skin was fair, and she looked like pottery from a distance; Her face is smaller, so her eyes appear larger, and her slightly thick lips appear fuller...... So with such a melon seed face, it doesn't look thin at all.

Du Qianrui looked up and looked around, Zhu Gaoxu's heart suddenly tightened slightly, fortunately, there was a big difference in light between the inside and outside of the gatehouse, and she didn't seem to find herself standing here stupidly.

Then she gently pulled her blouse, revealing her round bare shoulders, and there was a bruise on her shoulder, and she reached out and rubbed her delicate skin a few times, and her shoulders twisted slightly, so that the shirt slipped up to cover her shoulders very flexibly.

Maybe she was going to wash her hair, but she didn't wear any obscene clothes under her coat, it seemed that she only had a bandeau.

She leaned forward, buried her head, reached for the wooden scoop in the basin, and poured water on her head. In such a posture, the clothes fell down, and the collar was big, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly saw a plump and snow-white piece under her collarbone, and the light red bandeau position was heavy, and Zhu Gaoxu also felt very heavy for her.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly held his breath and his eyes widened.

"Whoa......" The water in the wooden ladle wet her green silk, splashing on the skin of her neck. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't take his eyes off it, so much so that even the water droplets on his snow-white skin could be seen clearly.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu forgot that he was in the county king's mansion, but it seemed to be on the edge of a quiet valley spring, and a gust of rain had just fallen, washing the mountains and forests spotlessly, and there were still pearl-like raindrops on the tender green leaves of spring.

I really didn't expect that Du Qianrui came from a place where she was drunk and gold, and there was such a side.

He watched with great interest, but unfortunately, the shampooing was quickly finished. Zhu Gaoxu thinks that Du Qianrui has traveled a long distance in the dust, and she can wash it more carefully, and the time is longer, why should she be so flustered?

He took advantage of Du Qianrui's opportunity to wipe his hair, quietly turned around and walked back to the back hall, walked around for a while, and then walked out of the gatehouse again as if nothing happened.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door of the wing room, Du Qianrui inside turned his head to look, hurriedly put down the wooden basin, draped her wet long hair, and bent her knees and said, "The slave has seen the prince...... I just washed my hair, and I haven't had time to pick it up, so I ask the prince to forgive me. ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked calm and very casual, waved his hand lightly, and said casually: "Miss Du is dressed very plainly today." ”

Du Qianrui smiled: "The slave doesn't like bright makeup, but she can't do it in Fullerhouse. If you dress too plainly, and the prince comes to listen to the music, are you still willing to laugh with the slave and maid? ”

"Why not?" Zhu Gaoxu was slightly puzzled.

Du Qianrui said: "Sujing looks tall, I'm afraid of being rejected by me...... What's more, in that kind of place, it doesn't match. ”

"Seems to make sense." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, paused, suddenly had an inspiration, and immediately said, "When Miss Du came to the mansion, she dressed so plainly, did she want to reject me?" ”

Du Qianrui's face flushed with two blushes, and her bright eyes glanced at him quietly, "The slave didn't mean that. ”

Zhu Gaoxu is not a real sixteen-year-old boy, his face has been trained in his previous life, and he continued with a smile: "What does that mean? ”

Du Qianrui said: "At this time and that time, in the prince's mansion, a place of honorable etiquette, how can the vulgar meet the occasion? Slaves and maidservants used to please many people, but now they only need to serve one. ”

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu actually heard the sadness from her words, and his smile gradually subsided, and said: "It's not gaudy, and you don't have to be too plain." I'll go back to the warehouse to find out what's good. ”
