When Yao Ji didn't remember much, she went to the place of "Li Linzhuang" to live.

In the haze, she heard a little boy cry out crisply, "Daddy! ”

A swarthy man replied with an "oops", and the wrinkles on his face immediately melted, becoming amiable and less severe. After a while, the man crouched down and let the little boy ride on his broad shoulders. The boy let out an exaggerated cry and giggled as he shouted, "It's so high."

"Daddy, I'm going 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 immediately froze, as if a frost had suddenly fallen on the June sky, making the man's whole face freeze stiff and no longer vivid. He was once again the taciturn farmer, with an unprovoked adult authority on his face.

"Don't call me dad anymore, call me uncle!" The man ordered in a serious manner.

…… Yao Ji woke up suddenly, and suddenly felt cold! When she opened her eyes, she found that she had fallen asleep on the collapse, and there was nothing on her body.

She sat up, feeling a tingle in the arm that supported her head.

The scene in the dream was so clear that even the wrinkles on the man's face and the hair growing on the black mole were very clear, because that was what had happened.

The swarthy man is her adoptive father, and the little boy is the adoptive father's son and her brother-in-law.

Yao Ji recalled that when she was a child, she did not have a bad life in Li Linzhuang, because of her uncle's funding, she did not lack food and clothing, and she could learn words; But when he left Li Linzhuang, he was full of joy.

Why do you want to leave that place so much? Later, she gradually understood that it was because Li Linzhuang lacked one thing, that is, someone who treated her with heart.

The adoptive father used his uncle's money to invite Mr. Private School, and the adoptive father's son also followed Yao Ji to learn calligraphy. The righteous brother is not that material after all, and he has learned a mess; But Yao Ji used one piece of paper, and the righteous brother must use two.

There are boiled eggs to eat in the morning, Yao Ji eats one, and the righteous brother will not be less. Yao Ji carefully found that her adoptive mother would always pick a bigger egg for her brother-in-law.

…… On the day I left Li Linzhuang, the sun was shining. The warmth of the sun and the fragrance of flowers made Yao Ji feel a little drowsy.

The snow-white plum blossoms are in full bloom, especially in the sun, and the path by the mountain is sprinkled with small petals, and the air is filled with the intoxicating fragrance and chirping of birds.

Yao Ji is full of imagination about the future, but not only happy, she has looked back a few times, and she also has the sadness of parting. It is the familiar place, the familiar smell of flowers, the sweetness and sourness of fruits, and the cats, chickens and ducks that know that they are back in the nest.

She soon went to the palace, and had only met her uncle before. The uncle kept repeating his kindness to Yao Ji's brother and sister...... Her father was a bad man who had sinned, and her uncle had saved her and her brother; My uncle also supported them for ten years, otherwise their adoptive parents would not have raised them in vain.

Yao Ji agrees with this, if her adoptive parents don't get the benefits of her uncle, she can't find a reason for her adoptive parents to raise her.

Thinking calmly, Yao Ji is grateful. However, that kind of grace seems to be very ethereal, without any feeling, only by thinking hard and distinguishing, can I suddenly understand: it turns out that without my uncle, it is difficult for me to even live.

…… The prosperity of the capital division and the wealth of the court opened Yao Ji's eyes.

But she soon discovers that those things are just a flash in the pan, and no matter how much you admire its beauty, it doesn't belong to you at all...... It belongs to the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, emperors, noblewomen, nobles, officials, and wealthy people.

The majesty and magnificence seen by the eyes are only appearances, and there is only one hut that really accompanies Yao Ji...... Maybe it's just a bed, because there are seven or eight palace maids in the room; and a bunch of stinky toilets and bricks that can't be swept endlessly.

However, Yao Ji has grown older, and she finds that her beauty seems to be able to change her fate......

Until one day, she was sent to Jiming Temple by Queen Ma and shaved her hair, and Queen Ma's beauty was not as good as her at all; And Emperor Jianwen, who was attracted by Yao Ji's beauty, was indifferent and completely stood on Queen Ma's side.

At this time, Yao Ji understood her simplicity. Appealing to others by their looks alone is always so fragile and false. The right way is to do things with color, and if the color decays, you will love it, and you can't even wait for the color to decay.

…… Later, Yao Ji met Zhu Gaoxu again.

Yao Ji wandered on the edge of the powerful, but could see clearly what they were doing, nothing more than fighting for those things, those flowers that she once admired and longed for.

Since she met Zhu Gaoxu for more than a year, Yao Ji has become more and more confused and entangled in her heart, and everything she felt suddenly became too chaotic.

Sometimes Yao Ji calmly thinks that her uncle is kind to her, even if he uses her now, he is not sorry for her; She is not only controlled by her uncle, but also attached to him, and seems to be the most reliable. Uncle is also the person most likely to know the whereabouts of Yao Ji's biological father, and she still has hope: what if her uncle really helps her find her biological father?

Sometimes Yao Ji is very impulsive. When she was dying in Jiming Temple, Zhu Gaoxu hurried to the rescue and held her on the horse like a baby; On a quiet night, he spoke in a low voice with a moving expression and a low voice.

Yao Ji's heart ached faintly, and on the other hand, she seemed to be full of expectations...... It's like when she just walked out of Li Linzhuang.

Sometimes she's calmer and thinks about the long term. My uncle will be seventy years old in three years, and I don't know how long she can be attached. If she leaves Zhu Gaoxu again, what will she have left? But Zhu Gaoxu may not be reliable, he is already suspicious of her.

So sometimes Yao Ji would come up with the idea of making a desperate bet. Because of the involvement of Sheng Yong, Zhu Gaoxu is now very dangerous; If she helps him save the day at this moment, does she still have a chance?

Yao Ji really didn't want to watch Zhu Gaoxu make a big mistake, she pinned a lot of hopes and elusive expectations on Zhu Gaoxu.

...... "Tuk, tuk, tuk!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door three times, and Yao Ji was distracted and startled.

When she opened the door, she saw Zhu Gaoxu standing at the door. Her face was a little pale, and she was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter with the prince?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu picked up a cloth bag tied with a red ribbon in his hand and said, "I heard Cao Fu say that you went to a ready-to-wear store to buy women's underwear, but you didn't pick the right one." I bought one and came back today, you can see if you like it. ”

"The prince is still going to buy that kind of thing?" Yao Ji blurted out, looking at him with incredible eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "As long as the money is enough, what can't be bought?" ”

Yao Ji was speechless, what she meant was: Are you not going to pick up Sheng Yong's family, and you still have time to take care of this kind of thing?

And Yao Ji didn't go out to buy anything at all, she was an enemy who went to meet Zhu Gaoxu!

Zhu Gaoxu walked in the door, closed the door with his backhand, handed the package to Yao Ji, and said with great interest: "Open it and take a look." ”

Yao Ji had to silently unwrap the ribbon on it, and then Zhu Gaoxu whispered next to him: "Some belly pockets are too plain without patterns, and some embroidery is beautiful, but the stitches are inevitably uneven, and your skin is delicate, I'm afraid of you." So I chose the makeup cloth, and when spinning the cloth, I used different colors of thread to spin, and the garment had its own color pattern; It's smooth and flat to the touch, and it's very comfortable. ”

When Yao Ji heard this, she had mixed feelings. She opened the cloth bag and saw that it was a light red belly pocket, the patterns and lace on it were really no traces, she stretched out her fingers and stroked it gently, smooth and soft.

"What, don't like it?" Zhu Gaoxu's voice said.

He asked, perhaps because there was no joy on Yao Ji's face. But she didn't think things were bad, she was too messy!

Yao Ji shook her head, suddenly raised her head, and her eyes suddenly brightened, as if she was full of breath; Zhu Gaoxu met her gaze a little puzzled. But after a while, Yao Ji's eyes drooped again, like a tender seedling beaten by rain.

The room was very quiet.

"Why did the prince do this to me?" Yao Ji said.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I have to accompany others in the past two days...... I heard that I needed underwear, so I wanted to send something so as not to snub you too much. ”

Yao Ji said in her heart: You are going to accompany Sheng Yong's family!

"Tell me if it doesn't fit." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I still have some things, so I'll leave first." ”

After he said that, he turned around and left, and as soon as he reached out to pull the door, Yao Ji suddenly said, "Lord Wang!" ”

"What?" Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, and his hand was just raised and not put down.

Yao Ji blushed and said, "I want to ride a horse ......"

Zhu Gaoxu froze there, and after a while, he suddenly laughed "hey, hey, hey", and his body twitched from holding back laughter. Yao Ji's face suddenly turned crimson, and she said in a low voice, "Forget it." ”

"So tall......" Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her chest, "I almost forgot that you are only a teenager." He crouched down with his back to her, reaching out and patting his broad shoulder.

Yao Ji's face flushed, gritted her teeth and slowly walked over, climbing onto Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder. Zhu Gaoxu's powerful big palm stabilized her leg and stood up suddenly.

"Ahh Yao Ji was startled and couldn't help screaming. She felt a little dizzy, really high! The prince was tall and strong, Yao Ji sat on his shoulder and suddenly climbed up, and was so frightened that his heart jumped straight up, and he slapped Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder twice, and then laughed out loud.

At this moment, the hidden door was pushed open, and Chen stared at Yao Ji riding on Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder, blushing and hurriedly said, "The slave didn't mean it...... When the slave heard Miss Yao's cry, she was afraid that something would happen......" She said a few words, and quickly closed the door.

Yao Ji blushed with shame and said, "Oh, I'm so embarrassed to be seen!" Let me go. ”

But Zhu Gaoxu also had a playful heart, and actually ran around the room and jumped a few times, Yao Ji was so frightened that he let out a few more exclamations.
