Bright Spring

... The so-called everything is often like a double-edged sword.Empress Xu thought of family affection, and Zhu Gaoxu, as a son, would benefit; but because of family affection, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he could not get the support of his mother's "seizure" and had no chance of being the crown prince.

That's not a preference, so Zhu Gaoxu never complained about his mother.

In the eyes of the queen mother, it is obviously much safer for the eldest son to inherit the throne in the future than Gao Xu.Because as the eldest son, his name is right and proper, there is no need to tolerate his own brother anymore.

However, the queen mother couldn't foresee the cruel result of the struggle for imperial power, and no one could convince her that even her grandson succeeded to the throne smoothly, and Gao Xu couldn't be tolerated.

...The son and father are discussing the candidate for the crown prince, and the news has already spread among the dignitaries in the capital.Zhu Gaoxu didn't report any hope, he just wanted to know where he would be sealed.

In the evening of early autumn, Zhu Gaoxu felt a bit chilly as he paced around the small area of ​​the county prince's mansion.

Walking to Yao Ji's room, he saw that there was a light on inside, and without thinking much, he knocked on the door twice.Perhaps the lights always make people feel warm.

The 'door' opened, and Yao Ji stood behind the 'door', looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise, and called out: "My lord."

"I want to spend the night in your room tonight. You ask someone to bring some hot water. I want to take a shower and change clothes." Zhu Gaoxu said.

"My lord, come in quickly." Yao Ji was a little surprised and a little relieved in her beautiful eyes.

Now that it has been determined that Yao Ji is a spy, she is a dangerous person.So Zhu Gaoxu said that she would spend the night here, she would be a little surprised, right?

I heard that after Jinshang came to Beijing, he never slept with any concubines except staying overnight with Empress Xu, worrying about his safety.But Zhu Gaoxu's character is not like his father's.

In order for Zhu Gaoxu to take a bath, Yao Ji began to do every chore by herself.She did a lot of rough and dirty work in the palace and temples, but when she came to the county prince's mansion, she almost didn't touch the sun's spring water, but she knew all kinds of housework.

After pouring the third bucket of steaming water into the bathtub, Yao Ji took a breath and said softly, "Your Highness believes me?"

"I don't believe it." Zhu Gaoxu said honestly.Maybe he felt that his tone was a bit blunt, so he said again, "But I think, which side a person stands on has nothing to do with other aspects, such as his character, whether he is worthy of being treated carefully, etc."

Yao Ji glanced past his face, and continued to work silently.

Zhu Gaoxu took off his clothes, soaked in the hot water, and couldn't help letting out a long breath.

"I've known the prince for so long, I don't think the prince is as violent as the rumors." Yao Ji picked up a handful of dried flower petals with her fingertips and threw them on the water, and said softly.

Zhu Gaoxu soaked in the water, and soon felt limp all over, and his head was a little dizzy.He squinted his eyes, and slowly said: "I used to be an angry|youth...that is, someone who often feels very angry, violent|ruthless. But now there is no reason to be angry anymore."

"Why?" Yao Ji said casually.

"Maybe because I have enough things, I don't think anyone is sorry for me." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Yao Ji thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu paused and murmured: "I believe that the queen mother wishes all the sons and daughters well in her heart. The emperor may be sorry for others, but he is not sorry for his son.

If there is someone who is sorry to me in the future, it will not be the father; everything I have is given by him, not by anyone else.

Therefore, when I guessed that my father would not make me the crown prince, I didn't feel any resentment... If I wasn't his son, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to lead troops on the battlefield to make meritorious deeds, so why should I be proud of myself? "

"Does the prince mean that you want me to take these words back?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Yao Ji, only to see that her beautiful face had a half-smile expression, a little bit suspicious and a little joking.Bright eyes, a heart like a mirror... But what she expressed really misunderstood Zhu Gaoxu.

"I'm really speaking from my heart." Zhu Gaoxu said seriously.

"Okay." Yao Ji smiled slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed lightly, relaxed his body, put a barely comfortable posture on his back, and closed his eyes.

Yao Ji's voice whispered beside her ear: "It's true that the prince thinks so, it's just that many wealthy children don't think so. Those people will think that what they get is what they deserve; if others don't give enough in the future, There will be resentment."

Her tone of voice today is very gentle, and sometimes she utters words as if she didn't pass through her throat, only her breath is as thin as gossamer.

"You make a lot of sense." Zhu Gaoxu opened his eyes immediately, "So I think that people who used to have nothing and got very little are more grateful."

The two of them chatted one after the other.

Zhu Gaoxu murmured again, "You are so kind to me today, why are you so indifferent sometimes?"

Yao Ji still maintained the gentleness just now, as if whispering in Zhu Gaoxu's ear, "When you are indifferent to the prince, it's not that you are bad. It is because I want to treat you with my heart that I am entangled in my identity and upset. 'Chaotic', I don't know how to face the prince, how can I not be cold?"

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu was thoughtful, as if he was catching the ethereal and fluttering catkins in the white steam, he nodded and said, "It seems to make sense."

After a while Zhu Gaoxu finished washing, he didn't want to stay in a bucket any longer.He is tall and strong, and he feels suffocated in the bathtub.

Yao Ji wiped off the water on his skin, picked up the clean lining and ordinary clothes, and helped him to dress.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were no buttons for any clothes, but belts, and some places needed to be tied to stabilize the position.

Zhu Gaoxu stood there, waiting with his arms outstretched, Yao Ji wrapped his arms around Zhu Gaoxu's waist so that he could reach out and pull the belt from behind him.He didn't move, just smelling the fragrance of her body very comfortably, admiring those dexterous little white hands and the beautiful movements when he tied his clothes.

At this time, he found that Yao Ji's way of tying the belt was very strange and ingenious. Anyway, he had never seen such a method before, so he couldn't help but tugged on the clothes lightly.

"We can't leave." Yao Ji looked up at him.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "It's just strange."

Yao Ji was busy tying up her clothes before she said softly, "I have my own parents, but I was not raised by them... If they were here, why would I act as a betrayer by the prince's side?"

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, he thought of Xu Miaojin's experience, Miaojin seemed to be raised by his biological parents.But he didn't interrupt Yao Ji's words, as long as the people around him were willing to tell him, most of the time he was willing to listen.

Sure enough, Yao Ji continued: "It's strange to say. I was still young when I left my biological father, and I can't even remember what he looked like, but I remember how he taught me how to tie a belt."

"So that's how I learned it." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and then asked calmly, "They... why are Yao Ji's biological parents gone?"

Yao Ji's expression became a little sad, "I heard from relatives that my father committed a serious crime and escaped, and my mother hanged herself. But I can't remember anything. Occasionally, I would dream of my father, and my father's face was blurred. , wearing heavy armor...My lord, only soldiers can wear armor, right?"

She paused slightly, and added, "You look very majestic!"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Of course, since it's a heavy armor, weighing tens of catties, who would wear it except for fighting? And it's likely a general. Most of the armor of ordinary soldiers can only cover important parts, and they don't wear armor all over their bodies."

He suddenly felt that Yao Ji was also a pitiful person, he sighed slightly, and said, "Can you teach me how you tie your belt just now?"

Yao Ji's face flushed slightly: "My lord has so many people serving 'servants', why do you want to learn that thing?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Because I don't know how to comfort you."

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, and only when she looked up could she see Zhu Gaoxu's face.The two were silent for a moment, then Yao Ji untied the belt around her waist, and then slowly put it on again so that Zhu Gaoxu could see clearly.

Zhu Gaoxu found that he really didn't have the talent in this area, and he didn't learn it after several times.He was even a little angry, but he stubbornly insisted on learning, repeatedly practicing with the silk rope around Yao Ji's waist.Finally learned it, his hands touched Yao Ji's graceful and soft waist for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was because he was in a hurry to learn the subtle techniques, or for some reason, he already felt very hot all over.

The beauty of a good day, since you have untied your belt, why bother to tie it again?
