When the banquet was dispersed, Zhu Di said that he would send me back to the courtyard, and Xu Miaoyun was still smiling and accompanying him. Finally, it was only a little way from the front hall to the courtyard, and soon arrived at the residence, but heard Zhu Di behind him and said, "Miaoyun, you go back to the courtyard to rest." ”

I turned around in amazement and saw Xu Miaoyun's eyes flashing, and finally nodded gently without questioning. She glanced at me as she was leaving, and I vaguely understood what it meant. When she walked out of the courtyard gate, Zhu Di walked towards me, locked my eyes with dark eyes and whispered: "Miaoyun is very understanding, you will get along well with her in the future." ”

Suddenly, the anger in his heart was a little uncontrollable, and he raised his head to meet his gaze, "Have you already regarded me as your concubine?" ”

His eyes were flowing and the ink was blue, and he said: "As long as you are willing, I will make you a side concubine when you return to Beiping, and from then on there will be a place for you in Yanwangfu." I retorted, "What if I don't want to?" ”

His dark eyes flickered, and his words were strong: "You will be willing one day." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "You have a wife and children, but you still have to force a married woman, you won't force me to say anything, but in fact you have been forcing me all along." The side concubine sounds famous, but in fact she is just a concubine, I ask you, why? Why should I be your concubine? ”

He was silent, staring at me with a gloomy gaze, and after a long time I heard him say, "If you care about this, then you will not go to Peking and stay in Putrajaya, everyone will regard you as a lady, and no one will disrespect you." ”

"What's the difference between that and stealing the bell? Putrajaya has your son, your princess can come at any time, even if everyone respects me on the surface, who doesn't scold me for being a vixen behind my back? "If I am going to end up in this state of self-deception, what is the difference between death and death? I took a step back, "Zhu Di, if you have to turn me into that identity, you are trampling on my dignity." ”

His body shook, his eyes sank, and after a moment he said, "You let me think again, there is always a solution." ”

Looking at the back of the fast departure, I can only shake my head and sigh, what is the solution? Not to mention that I only have Ah Ping in my heart at all, even if I really think about him, I will lose my thoughts after learning that he has children and a wife, I am not a person of this era, and my education and ideas do not allow me to become a third party in someone else's marriage, and my dignity does not allow me to become someone else's concubine.

Even Ah Ping, if he moves the idea of taking a concubine in the future, I will not hesitate to make a painful choice.

Don't say that Zhu Di doesn't understand this idea, I'm afraid even Xu Miaoyun doesn't understand. From her, I saw the forbearance and restraint of typical women in ancient times, even if they were jealous, they could not show their jealousy, on the contrary, they had to show open-mindedness in front of their husbands, which was called sensible and understanding.

Xu Miaoyun came to me late at night to be expected, and the glance she gave me when she was leaving.

After being let in the door, she said to me with a sad face: "Alain, I shouldn't have come, the prince likes you so much, in fact, there is nothing wrong with you staying." ”

As soon as I heard what she said, I knew that I was right, and hurriedly said: "Miaoyun, I have already told you intimate words during the day, don't you still understand me?" Your prince is just confused for a while, and when I leave, I will slowly forget about it. ”

Xu Miaoyun sighed, "I also think so, no matter what, my sister has a life-saving grace for my lord, Miaoyun has nothing to repay, but to fulfill my sister's wishes." She took a cloth bag from her sleeve and shoved it into my hand, "This is my coil for my sister, it should be enough for you to return to the south." ”

"But will the gates be open at night?"

She shook her head, "If you don't leave at night, tomorrow the prince will go to teach the school soldiers, you have at least half a day to leave, and then someone will send you out of the city, I will try to find a way to drag the prince to buy time for my sister." ”

"Then will it affect you if I leave?"

She looked at me with a smile, "Silly girl, take care of yourself first, this journey from north to south is not easy, you not only have to hide your whereabouts from being found by the prince, but also have to protect yourself." As for me, I have been married to the prince for so many years, even if he knows that I let you go, he will definitely not do anything to me, so don't worry about me. ”

Thinking about it, it's still a question of whether she can run or not, and I still have the mind to worry about her. I can't be sure of anything else, but she will be fine, because she will be Zhu Di's queen in the future.

I have been very anxious since dawn, afraid that Zhu Di will come over to see the clues, but finally he may have been angry because of my words last night and did not come. As soon as the hour passed, I quietly came to the side door after confirming that Zhu Di was going to the teaching field, and said to Xu Miaoyun at night that someone would answer me here, but when I opened the door, I saw the young man Zhu Gaoxu at a glance, and my heart was shocked, and I was just about to turn around when he shouted: "Eh, where are you going?" Come with me yet. ”

I was stunned, Xu Miaoyun said that he was the one who escorted me out of the city?

"What do you see? Mother asked me to send you out of the city, and you can't get out of the city without me. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's words are true, I may be able to escape through this gate, but the gate in Putrajaya can't get by. Without saying a word, he left the side gate with him, but he did not immediately take me to the city gate, but led me to a place to change into a soldier's uniform, and told me that if I stopped at the city gate and asked, I would say that I would go out of the city with him to inspect the city.

Although he was only fifteen years old, he was not at all mature at this age.

As a result, the city gate was very smooth, and when the city guards saw that it was him, they saluted one after another, and then asked with a smile what the general was going to do outside the city, and when he heard that he was ordered to inspect, he let him go. Walking out of the city gate a hundred meters away, I still felt unreal when I looked back, it was too smooth.

I thought that Zhu Gaoxu was going back after sending me out of the city, but when he led me to a forest, he said "wait" and went into the forest, and when he came out, he was driving a carriage.

Seeing my stunned eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Don't worship me too much, it was my mother who asked me to hide the carriage in the forest, you can also go in and change into a soldier's uniform, it is best to wear a set of men's clothes and pretend to be a man, so that the goal will not be too big." ”

I asked, somewhat uncertainly, "You're going to come with me?" The armor on his body was also changed, and he wore only a coarse gray suit, which seemed to be very incompatible with this suit because his face was still immature.

I only heard him reply: "Mother said that you have the grace to save your father's life, and ordered me to give you a ride." Stop talking nonsense and get in the carriage. ”

Although his attitude was a little impatient, I still felt that I never thought that Xu Miaoyun's mother and son would help me so sincerely, and it didn't matter if there was selfishness in it. I bowed my head and thanked him and boarded the carriage, which prepared a lot of things, from dry food to water to clothes, I listened to Zhu Gaoxu's suggestion to change into men's clothes, and combed my hair into a man's bun and put on a crown hat.

When I lifted the curtain, Zhu Gaoxu heard the movement and looked back, his eyes were stunned, "Are you serious...... Changed into men's clothes, huh? ”

I hummed softly and fixed the curtain to the corner. Turning his eyes, he retracted his gaze in a panic and faced ahead, but said seriously: "I almost didn't recognize you when you wore it like this." ”

chuckled, a very simple young general, everything on his face and about to say it.

I said, "It's better not to be recognized, I think you'd better disguise yourself too." ”

"Huh? Do I still have to dress up? Pretend to be what? ”

"Why don't you pretend to be a woman, let's pretend to be husband and wife." I deliberately teased him.

Unexpectedly, he jumped out of the carriage, but fortunately I quickly grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage. Looking back, he hurriedly caught up, and scolded with a flushed face: "Hugh is talking nonsense, I just accidentally slipped off the carriage." ”

I couldn't help but laugh, it was so funny.

Later, Zhu Gaoxu listened to my advice and disguised himself, but he insisted on being my brother, so he put two mustaches on the people, thickened his eyebrows, and blackened his face, which was commensurate with my brother.

Secretly laughing, the child wants me to call him brother.

With Zhu Gaoxu as his companion, he is not alone on the road. Although he is young and old, after all, he still has a child's heart, and he can ignore me with a strained face at first, but he can't help it after half a day. Seeing that I was eating, he said in an unkind tone: "Eh, give me some to eat." I paused and asked him, "Don't you have yourself?" ”

"Dry food and water are in the wagon, do you think I can still carry them?"

I smiled and threw the burden of dry food to him, and when I saw him take out the bread, I nibbled on it, completely uninhibited. Now that he is the same age as my brother Xiaotong, he will surely help his father win countless battles in the future.

"Hey, what are you staring at me?" Zhu Gaoxu shouted dissatisfiedly, "I can tell you, don't like me just because I'm handsome, you're older than me, I won't like you." ”

couldn't help laughing, what was the kid thinking in his head, walked to him and sat down and leaned on the post, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the hairy boy, you still wait for a little girl to admire." ”

"Who's the hairy boy? At the age of fourteen, I became a commander-in-chief, in charge of hundreds of soldiers. ”

"Have you ever been in battle to kill an enemy?"

He was choked by my question, his face turned red, and he forcibly refuted himself: "It's the Northern Yuan who doesn't dare to attack, if it does, I will lead the troops to exterminate it." I couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Then how did you become the boss?" ”

"I'm the first in riding and shooting, but I can wear Yang in 100 steps. Moreover, once the rogue attacked, I rushed out alone to catch the leader of the rogue bandit, and was specially promoted by General Zhu as the general manager for his military achievements. ”

When he said this, his eyebrows fluttered, and his face was smug, which showed that he was extremely proud of those achievements.
