Bright Spring

The eunuch brought Zhu Gaoxu to the inner hall of King Yan's mansion, where Princess Xu, the eldest son, Gao Sui and several sisters were all in the inner hall.There were talking and laughing, a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

The emperor father won the war and ascended the throne as the emperor. The catastrophe of annihilation that once hung over the whole mansion disappeared. The whole family is so precious that the people in the mansion can't help but feel happy.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to greet his mother and concubine, and asked Princess Xu how she was.He found that not everyone was really happy. Although Shizi had a smile on his face, he was very reluctant, and he seemed to have something on his mind.Gao Sui's eyes looked at the son, and at Zhu Gaoxu who had just entered, as if he was thinking about something.

Miao Jin standing behind Princess Xu was also expressionless, not necessarily happy.

Concubine Xu nodded with a smile and said: "My mother just wanted to send someone to call Gao Xu. I know you just came back with your father and you are very tired, but your sister-in-law went to the house to cook for herself today, and the whole family is here , it’s not good if Gao Xu didn’t come.”

"Sister-in-law is really virtuous." Zhu Gaoxu smiled.

At this moment, the voice of the eldest concubine Zhang said, "It's all thanks to the father and the second uncle that the big guys are so happy now. We women and Taoists can only do small things, how can we bear the beauty of the second uncle?" Words?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and saw that Mrs. Zhang was wearing an apron. He looked him up and down and said with a smile: "Our family is now a royal family, and my sister-in-law will soon be a princess, what an honorable status! Look at your apron." Apron's demeanor of doing housework, isn't it called virtuous?" He turned his head and asked a few sisters, "Can you eat the dishes made by the princess herself?"

The sisters smiled and shook their heads.

Mrs. Zhang stomped her feet and said, "Oh, Second Uncle flattered and killed me too! Don't all the officers and men in the army want Second Uncle to be the crown prince?"

The two talked to each other, as if they were joking, but the laughter in the hall has gradually disappeared, and most people have become very silent.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I have followed my father in the army for a long time, and I am indeed familiar with some soldiers. But the word 'du' is really hard to say. I heard that my sister-in-law helped Tan Yuan's family a while ago?"

Zhang's face suddenly turned pale, and her smile seemed even more forced.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed softly, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, brother, I will be the first to support you as the princess! It is obvious that the father became the emperor, and our family is all right. I really don't value that status. I only like horses, beauties, gold and silver treasures, and my father really wants to entrust me with important tasks, but I am too tired to panic. If I am comfortable and comfortable, I am not a prince, what am I tossing about?"

"Second uncle said it so lightly, I'm afraid he's lying to my sister-in-law?" Zhang said with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his smile and said: "Sincerely! Someone has indeed persuaded me to fight for the title of crown prince, but when I thought that my eldest brother is the eldest brother, and his name is justified, I would jump out and fight with my eldest brother, which would make the whole family unhappy. I feel like I can’t do it.”

He then laughed again, "The most important thing is, if my sister-in-law hates me, will I still be able to eat the dishes cooked by my sister-in-law in the future? That would be a huge loss!"

Zhang said: "How dare I? Second Uncle wants to eat my food, so he can come to the house anytime. How can I not respectfully welcome Second Uncle?"

"You kid, you still have a playful smile at your age." Princess Xu laughed.

Immediately, everyone in the hall laughed together, and the atmosphere regained a sense of joy.

Zhu Gaoxu turned to face Xu Wangfei and said, "Now I have only two wishes, the first one is that the mother and concubine will live a long and healthy life, and always love and protect our brothers and sisters; Hangzhou is the best place to be the king, otherwise Suzhou is also fine!"

Concubine Xu laughed and scolded: "It's not appropriate to talk sweetly...I'll talk to your father."

"My son, I will thank my mother and concubine first." Zhu Gaoxu bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu turned to Zhang again and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I don't want any crown prince titles forcibly given to me! Otherwise, elder brother will be too embarrassed, and the bond between our brothers and sisters is greater than the sky."

Those sisters seemed to really believe Zhu Gaoxu's words, and the eldest sister was wiping tears.

At this moment, Shizi said: "Gao Xu, I misunderstood you before, it's good that you don't mind."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My mother and concubine are here, what barriers are there between us brothers? Don't mention it, the elder brother will always be our elder brother!"

"Hey, the second brother has done so much for the father..." the son sighed.

Looking back at the left and right, Zhu Gaoxu said, "I am not only doing my best for my father, but for all my relatives, including myself. The treacherous ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty wanted to harm our family, so let's not do it with them? Now my father is a big tomorrow Son, who holds the country in his hand, is rich in the world, reigns supreme in the world, brothers and sisters have fathers and emperors, and he has got enough. What's the point of us caring about that little bit?"

"Gao Xu is well said." Concubine Xu praised, "You must always be so harmonious, so I am relieved."

Only Gao Sui sat there, although he laughed with him from time to time, he didn't say anything.

For a while, Zhu Gaoxu was right, even he believed it.For a moment, he even felt that if he was really as friendly as he appeared on the surface, it would actually be pretty good...Being a prince in the Ming Dynasty, he can enjoy endless glory and wealth, and he can be very satisfied.

However, can everything come true so easily?If people can really love each other like this, will there still be wars in this world?

At the time of You, Father Emperor also came.Even though it was a family banquet, everyone couldn't be as casual as before, etiquette is indispensable.

The royal father said from the top position: "Tomorrow I will ask Ping An to be the commander of Beiping."

Concubine Xu persuaded: "Your Majesty has just settled down, and it's hard to take a rest, so don't think about state affairs."

Zhu Gaoxu drank two glasses of wine. He can drink, but he is easy to face.The family dinner was almost over, so he supported his head with his hands, pretending to be very tired and dozing off there.

Concubine Xu saw it, and ordered the servants: "Send Gao Xu back to the mansion, let him sleep early, Gao Xu is not easy, he is really tired."

So Zhu Gaoxu bowed to leave, and the eunuch wanted to help him, so he gently opened it.You can't put on a show too much, how can you be too tired to walk?

Chapter 148 The First Fall of the Night

It was just dark, and the lights everywhere were lit, but the people hadn't rested yet. This is the most prosperous time for the scenery.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the dining room, he heard a moving call: "King Gaoyang." He stopped and turned his head, seeing Miaojin quickly following up, he turned around to salute.

Miao Jin said to the eunuch next to him: "Go back and serve the Holy Majesty, I will send King Gaoyang out of the inner hall." The two eunuchs handed the lantern up and said, "Yes."

So Zhu Gaoxu and Miao Jin walked slowly towards the gatehouse of the inner hall one by one, Miao Jin looked preoccupied, but her original noble face looked a little sad and beautiful at this moment.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had a thousand words to say to her, such as the apology for imprisoning her for a year, when she was released, the matter of Jing Qing's surrender... etc. But all of a sudden, in the inner hall of the Prince Yan's mansion, he unexpectedly There is no way to talk about it.

Miao Jin also seemed to be thinking about something, so the two walked silently on the long street in the mansion.

When Zhu Gaoxu was in the dining room before, he was smiling most of the time, his mother's face was almost stiff, and when he came out, the light from the lantern was not very good, so he didn't smile at all.At this time, he asked: "My little aunt is a Taoist, do you really believe in gods?"

After hearing this, Miao Jin looked hesitant, and nodded after hesitating for a moment: "I believe in the gods who raise their heads three feet above the head. King Gaoyang believes in this?"

"I'm skeptical about the gods." Zhu Gaoxu said, "But I really believe that there is something in this world that mortals can't understand. It may not be a god, but it must be very mysterious, beyond our cognition."

Miao Jin didn't answer.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu said with some emotion: "A person's success in doing ordinary things mainly depends on his own character and ability..." For example, in his previous life, he was worse than ordinary people of the same class, which is a matter of character.

He continued, "However, when doing extraordinary things, luck is the most important thing!"

Zhu Gaoxu's feeling is not groundless.He participated in almost the entire battle of Jingnan. Although the father was powerful, if he won in the end, what is it not luck?If there is less of a strong wind on the battlefield, the father will be finished.

Also, he was lucky enough to escape in the capital last year. As long as there is one detail that is unlucky, can he escape?As well as what he is going to do now, Zhu Gaoxu is also praying that his luck will not be too bad.

Miao Jin said softly: "King Gaoyang is right."

After a while, when he was almost at the gate of the inner hall, Miao Jin called softly and said in a low voice: "The courtyard diagonally opposite Chiyue Temple belongs to King Gaoyang?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

She raised her head, with the orange light of a lantern glowing in her naturally alluring almond eyes, she seemed to muster up her breath before she said, "Can we meet up early tomorrow morning?" After she finished speaking, she seemed to exhale secretly, It seemed that after hesitating for a long time, he finally said it.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a little strange for a moment, but immediately understood that Miao Jin offered to have a private meeting, and it was really not easy for her to say it out of her heart.

tomorrow morning?Zhu Gaoxu planned to do that dangerous thing tonight, and he suddenly realized: After finishing that thing, he quietly ran to Chi Yueguan, and if the person disappeared, would there be an accident?
