Bright Spring

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that Hu Min had come alone, he immediately sent Chief Shi Li Mo to greet him at Duanlimen.

The meeting place is the study on the side of the front hall.The main hall of Chengyun Hall is a very formal place, and it is not suitable to meet guests there; occasionally Zhu Gaoxu will meet some people there privately, but it is not polite.

Hu Wei walked into the wooden door of the study, and after greeted with greetings, he quickly said: "Your Majesty is here today to say goodbye to His Highness the King of Han."

"Officer Hu Ke is leaving?" Zhu Gaoxu blurted out a question, and suddenly said, "Officer Hu Ke has finished my father's errand, so I have to go back to Beijing."

Hu Chou clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I'm going back to Beijing to report on my duties."

"Sit on the chair, sit down and talk." Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Officer Hu Ke, you will definitely be entrusted with important tasks by my father when you return to the court."

Hu Wei hurriedly said: "I just want to thank His Highness the King of Han. If there is no help from His Highness, I will not be able to accomplish the matter of Dali! This friendship, I will never forget it."

"It's all for my father, how can I not do my best?" Zhu Gaoxu said, and said calmly, "But I have always felt close to Hu Keguan, maybe because we came to Yunnan from the capital together let's go."

"Thank you for the honor of the King of Han." Hu Min said.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a joking tone: "Officer Hu Ke is going to be promoted to Minister or Minister this time? Just give me a congratulations at that time."

"How can I know now?" Hu Wei bowed his body and said, "I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. When I was not an official, I only wanted to be a doctor. Later, I became an official after entering the academic career. It is enough to have an official position."

"It turns out that Officer Hu is also good at medicine?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Hu Mei said, "It's all just a little understanding."

Zhu Gaoxu muttered: "The princess seems to be a little uncomfortable in Yunnan. After the new year, she said that she was not feeling well. I was just about to ask someone to ask that doctor Chen to take the pulse..."

Hu Wei accepted the words, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has been in Yunnan for the past two years, but he has visited the rivers and lakes to inquire about many things. His Highness the King of Han invited that genius doctor with a false name, it is better to invite the Zhang family who has practiced medicine for generations in the city."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said in astonishment: "When I first arrived in Yunnan, Dr. Chen asked for a thousand-year-old ginseng, but he finally cured the concubine's illness..."

Hu Wei changed his words: "If it can be cured, it will be fine!"

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and said, "Since Officer Hu Ke has arrived at the palace today, why don't you go and feel the pulse of the princess?"

Hu Wei waved his hands and said a few words modestly, but Zhu Gaoxu insisted on asking him to take a look first, so he had no choice but to agree.Although I just asked Hu Min to feel his pulse, in this era, it is already extraordinary for a family member to meet a guest in a personal relationship.

The two came out of the study, and Zhu Gaoxu found that Chang Shi Li Mo was still at the door of the study!Chang Shi is one of the highest-ranking civil servants in the Palace of the King of Han. He is not a slave, what is he waiting for at the door?Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but think of the list Yao Fang gave him, and Li Mo was on the spy list.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't mean to be surprised at all, he greeted Li Mo very naturally, "Officer Hu Ke came to say goodbye, and as we talked, I realized that Officer Hu Ke is proficient in medical skills. The princess is not feeling well these days, I want to invite Officer Hu Ke to go For diagnosis, Li Changshi will ask someone to arrange a chariot to come over."

Li Mo made a bow and said, "I obey the orders."

So Zhu Gaoxu and Hu Wei took the same car, passed Chengyun Gate, and the first palace was where the princess' bedroom was.

The eunuchs and maids made preparations, drew a curtain beside the partition, and placed tables and chairs.Concubine Guo Wei sat behind the curtain and stretched out her hand to the cushion on the table.Originally, it was necessary to tie a silk thread to the wrist to diagnose the pulse, but Zhu Gaoxu thought that method might not be accurate, so the maids covered Guo Wei's wrist with handkerchiefs.

Hu Yi glanced at the fingers exposed in the handkerchief, then bowed and said: "The concubine is a blessed person, there will be no major dangers, the prince need not worry too much." Then he felt his pulse carefully.

This Hu Wei diagnosed the pulse very quickly. After cutting the pulse gate for a while, he withdrew his hand, stood up and worshiped: "Congratulations to the king and princess of Han, this is the pulse of joy. The princess is happy, and it is not unusual for her body to feel a little uncomfortable."

"Huh?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little surprised.

Hu Wei said quickly: "The lower official only has a little knowledge of medical skills, but the joy pulse is too easy to see, so it must be right! Congratulations."

"Hahaha... Thank you, Officer Hu Ke." Zhu Gaoxu quickly laughed out loud, then turned his head and said to the eunuch and maid next to him, "You guys are so good at serving the princess."

The servants also congratulated, and the front palace became lively.

Zhu Gaoxu had never been a father before, his princess was suddenly diagnosed as pregnant, it felt very strange for a while.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu sent Hu Wei out of the front palace.Hu Mei said: "I didn't expect that when I was about to leave Yunnan, I would meet a happy event. This trip is worthwhile."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, and said: "Maybe in a few days, You Chunfang's right concubine Hu Guang will also return to Beijing. Why doesn't Officer Hu wait for him all the way?"

Hu Wei nodded and said: "It is precisely because we are going back to the capital together, I am here to say goodbye to His Highness the King of Han in advance."

"Hu Guang is Guan Hu's clan?" Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.

Hu Wei shook his head immediately, and said solemnly: "It's just the same surname, I have nothing to do with him!"

It seems that Hu Guang's reputation in Shilin is not that good, and Hu Wei seems to be eager to get rid of the relationship.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "There are many mountains in the southwest, and some places on the post road are sparsely populated. At that time, the king will send a team of guards to escort you back to the capital. We will leave today, and we will only meet again in the capital later."

Hu Wei bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, we will meet later!"

...The Palace of the King of Han sent troops to escort the officials in Beijing, and the guard was led by Zhu Gaoxu's personal guard Chen Dachui.

Before leaving, Zhu Gaoxu personally accompanied Yao Ji and said goodbye to her brother Yao Fang in the empty restaurant.Yao Fang is a member of a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and will follow Hu Wei back to Beijing.

Brother and sister Yao Ji didn't grow up together since they were young, and later they were both under the family of their uncle Yao Guangxiao, and they didn't spend many days together.But at this time her brother was leaving, Yao Ji was still a little sad.

Either blood is thicker than water, or parting is always associated with sadness.It may also be that Yunnan is too far away from the capital, thousands of miles away, and it is really not easy for anyone to meet again once they part.

Zhu Gaoxu sat in the upper position, turned his head to look at Yao Ji and said, "Han Princess is pregnant. If you give birth to a son, I will write a letter to make you the second concubine of Han King. Because the elder brother, the crown prince, also had the eldest son back then. I married Concubine Guo; we will follow the usual routine now, and it will be easier to get permission from the emperor."

Yao Ji stood up, politely said: "Thank you, my lord."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Sooner or later, you will be given a title."

But he chose to bring this up in front of Yao Fang today, probably because he wanted to tell Yao Fang?After all, Yao Fang is about to leave the sphere of influence of the Han Palace.

Sure enough, Yao Fang also stood up and clasped her fists and said: "The last general thanked the prince for his kindness, from now on, the prince will be the only one to follow!"

Zhu Gaoxu picked up a wine glass and said, "Your sister and I wish Yao Baihu a smooth journey."

Yao Ji and her brother also raised the wine glasses on the table together, and after thanking them, the two men drank it down in one gulp.Yao Ji gently covered the wine glass with her sleeve, drank slowly, and finally put the glass on the table.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and said again: "Near the Qinhuai River on the other side of the Jubao Gate, there is a street that specializes in selling jade. There is a shop in it, only the door of that one is on the upper floor, and it is the shop I bought. If Yao Baihu wants to contact my people in the future, the Jade Shop is the place to go."

Yao Fang cupped her fists and said, "The general will remember."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "Now we have a secret relationship, then I won't see you off in person."

"Don't dare." Yao Fang said hastily, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this."

...Yao Ji doesn't care about the way the King of Han wins Yao Ji's brother.Instead, she felt that if a man wanted to succeed, he should do such things.

It's better than her uncle Daoyan!It was clear that Dao Yan caused the ruin of Yao Ji's family, but he wanted to continue to use the two brothers and sisters through the grace of nurturing.Can he still care about right and wrong in his tactics and tactics?

After Yao Ji bid farewell to her brother, she and Zhu Gaoxu took the carriage back to Han Palace.

When she returned to her small courtyard, the fat "little yellow cat" came calling immediately.Yao Ji hugged it affectionately, and stroked its smooth fur. The little yellow cat stopped barking, but made a sound like snoring, seeming very comfortable.Yao Ji's glamorous face gradually revealed a pleasant smile.

Yao Ji lives very peacefully in this quiet and beautiful courtyard, she seems to be a quiet and peaceful woman.But when she learned from Zhu Gaoxu that she was able to become the prince and second concubine, she was still secretly happy in her heart.

Sometimes Yao Ji also felt that her temperament was very strange. She could calm down, but she was not at all ascetic.The prince and second concubine can also wear a dress. At that time, she will wear a noble dress and be watched by everyone... Even if she just thinks about it now, she feels very much looking forward to it.
