Bright Spring

By the pond next to the rockery, Concubine Xu was surrounded by a group of people.She was feeding the fish with food, when she turned her head and saw Zhu Gaoxu.

He stepped forward to salute with fists in his arms, and asked whether the mother and concubine were in good health?

Concubine Xu said: "After your little aunt took care of me last time, my health is much better."

Zhu Gaoxu paid homage to Xu Miaojin who was next to him, "I have seen my little aunt."

The young Xu Miaojin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "King Gaoyang beheaded the commander of the army, Chang Xinghou, in the Zhending formation. It has already spread inside and outside the palace. King Gaoyang is really a hero."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "It's really rare to be praised by my aunt."

"Ah……"

Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to stare at women, it is very impolite to stare at women in this era.He casually glanced at it from time to time, Xu Miaojin didn't wear a veiled hat today, and he was dressed in a very ordinary way, and immediately he didn't look like a Taoist priest at all.

Her almond eyes with upturned corners are really beautiful, and the eyes alone are more beautiful than any of the flowers. Zhu Gaoxu can't explain why, anyway, as long as he is looked at, whether it is admiration or reprimand, his heart can be like the lake next to him The same, there will be a burst of different ripples.

At this time, the concubine said: "When your father came back yesterday, he was full of praise for you and said that you are a lucky general. I said, Gao Xu is your son first, and then a general. In the future, he will be as dangerous as a true forward." Don't always let your son do the job!"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My son's ability to help father and king is also to do our best for our family. But... it is mother and concubine who loves son more."

The concubine suddenly showed a loving smile, after all, she was the one who gave birth, so she should always be soft-hearted.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to mention more business matters in front of his mother and concubine, so he changed the subject and said: "My son came here, did you scare away the fish of my concubine?"

The princess said: "As long as the fish has something to eat, it will come."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his upper body and asked the person next to him to give him food.Just as Xu Miaojin was about to hand it over, Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and said, "I'll do it." Xu Miaojin had no choice but to hand over the fish food, and when he took the ceramic cup, a finger accidentally pinched the back of Xu Miaojin's hand.

Her hands are really slippery, Zhu Gaoxu seems to be pinching silk, and it seems to be pinching Wen Yu.Her face immediately changed, and she let go of her hand!Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was in a hurry, and immediately held the porcelain cup firmly.

Xu Miaojin glared at her fiercely, the bright light in her almond eyes seemed to have thorns, and Zhu Gaoxu felt stung by something for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help thinking: Many flowers have thorns.It's just that this aunt has too many thorns and is too cold.

"Be careful! Don't fall." Xu Miaojin reminded immediately.So her eyes, in the eyes of others, seemed to be blaming Zhu Gaoxu for not holding it steady, and she smoothed out the embarrassment without showing any traces.

However, with her staring eyes, did she blame Zhu Gaoxu for not holding the porcelain cup firmly, or did she blame him for pinching the back of her hand?

"Little aunt is more fierce than my mother." Zhu Gaoxu muttered while holding the porcelain cup to the princess.

Xu Miaojin's voice said: "How dare I? King Gaoyang is so powerful and majestic, he is the leader of the general among the ten thousand troops, the person who has done the most meritorious service under King Yan, how dare I kill you?"

"Hey." Zhu Gaoxu smiled.

But after he laughed, he felt weird again, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong...By the way, even if Xu Miaojin didn't have the temperament of a Taoist priest, he still gave Zhu Gaoxu an impression of being very aloof and cold. His "heh" sneer was also short and cool; in this case, why did the sentence lengthen when it came to the military affairs?

I remember that time when Zhu Gaoxu came to visit his doctor, it was the same, Xu Miaojin ignored him at all.Later, when we met again, when it came to Zhang Xin, she paid attention to Zhu Gaoxu... At that time, Zhu Gaoxu felt something strange, but now he has figured out that feeling.

Du Qianrui has almost no interest in those things; and this little aunt comes from a family of poetry and books, and she has a big heart. Her interest really cannot be compared with that of a little lady.

The princess fed the fish for a while, then gave the porcelain cup to others, and walked slowly along the wooden bridge, talking to Zhu Gaoxu.

In the clan and prince's house, even the conversation between mother and child is very particular, and it is not as casual as ordinary people at all.Zhu Gaoxu also paid attention to his words, but it was still much more relaxed than in front of King Yan.

Xu Miaojin on the side seldom spoke, but Zhu Gaoxu never forgot her... Even if she is an elder, she is such a beautiful elder, there is no way.

But today Xu Miaojin didn't wear the wide and big Taoist robe, but she was wearing a plain skirt. This is really rare, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but take a few more glances at the opportunity.Xu Miaojin's blouse has a stand-up collar and is tightly wrapped. Only a little skin is exposed on her straight neck, which is as smooth as jade.

There wasn't even a single embroidered flower on her dress, and even the pattern on the edge of the dress was just ordinary twill, and the color of the dress was plain and monotonous.However, she doesn't need decorations to embellish her beauty at all. Just the natural twisting of her waist and hips when she walks is already extremely charming.

She doesn't apply any makeup on her face, but just those almond eyes that are looking forward and shining, are already beautiful that any graceful Song poetry can't describe.

It's a pity that the eyes are a little colder, making people feel repulsed and difficult to approach.

Zhu Gaoxu once again took advantage of people's unpreparedness, pretended to look at the scenery, and took a look at Xu Miaojin, but she was noticed by her, and her gaze returned.Zhu Gaoxu was a little embarrassed, so he made a few trivial movements to cover up, and when he put his hand in front of his nose, he saw anger in Xu Miaojin's eyes!

Where am I doing wrong?

Under Zhu Gaoxu's hard thinking, he remembered that the finger he stretched out just now happened to be the finger that pinched the back of Xu Miaojin's hand... He immediately guessed: Did Xu Miaojin think that I was smelling? !

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to cry, but he didn't do anything, so he showed a frivolous image in front of Xu Miaojin?

It shouldn't be so, during the period of walking and talking with the princess, his words and deeds were generally prudent.What surprised him was that he suddenly paid so much attention to his image.

However, Zhu Gaoxu quickly corrected his attitude: in front of the stunning girl, it's only natural to be a little tempted, like those old men who were dozens of years old in the previous life, and those who stared at women's breasts on the bus; Isn't it normal for young people to be attracted by beautiful women?

But that's all!He understands how important everything he owns is, not to mention that it is not safe now, and he must not make some moths that are not tolerated by the world just because of his beauty... This Xu Miaojin is an elder by name, and he still lives in Yanwang Mansion!

So Zhu Gaoxu held back and never peeked at Xu Miaojin again.

At this time Xu Miaojin said: "Princess, Gao Yang Wang won't be with you for a few days?"

The princess nodded and said: "My lord said last night that he wants to go to Yongpingwei."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't talk to Xu Miaojin, but looked at the concubine and said: "My son probably won't be able to ask mother and concubine how she is well for a while, but I will come to see you as soon as my son comes back."

The concubine said: "Gao Xu doesn't need to worry about me, just do business properly and pay attention to your own safety."

"I remember it." Zhu Gaoxu bowed and replied.

Inadvertently, he found Xu Miaojin looking at the pond.Zhu Gaoxu followed her gaze and looked over.

A white bird flitted across the water. It swooped down and touched the water lightly. As soon as it touched the water, it immediately flew into the air again, far away from the water.Only circles of faint water ripples were left on the surface of the pond.

Chapter 54 Rough words are not rough

At noon, Zhu Gaoxu was left by Princess Xu for dinner, and King Yan also came to the dining room. Zhu Gaoxu ate very restrainedly, not like eating with his parents at all.

However, the dining room of the Prince's Mansion is really luxurious, with valuable antique calligraphy and paintings on the walls, high-quality mahogany furniture, and fine Jingdezhen official kiln utensils for serving dishes.The dishes are also very rich, and they are not the same as what Zhu Gaoxu enjoyed in the county palace!

After eating here, and comparing the low houses outside the Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he had traveled through time again, and the inside and outside were two worlds with different levels of civilization.

Concubine Xu picked up a piece of fried haggis for Zhu Gaoxu, and sighed softly: "Gaoxu has reached the age of marriage, and I will always remember this matter in my mother's heart."

Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be relaxed and said: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, it's not the time yet. When the father and king go to the capital and clean up the treacherous ministers, the sons and ministers will be able to start a family. The right way is, if the treacherous ministers are not destroyed, why should the family be?"

Concubine Xu hesitated to speak, she opened her mouth, but finally she didn't say anything.

Zhu Gaoxu guessed that she was worried that if Jing was not successful, her son would not even have a chance to get married.But it was not good to say this in front of King Yan, so she didn't speak.

When he looked at King Yan again, his expression became more dignified, but he said indifferently, "Why does a man have no wife? What's so difficult about Gao Xu marrying a wife? Princess, don't worry too much."

Concubine Xu said: "When Gao Xu arrives in Yongping, he will do his best to help your father. I will take the time to say hello to Wei Bai's family. My daughter's family can't afford to delay, and I will show you another one later."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: According to Professor Hou Hai's secret report, the daughter of Wei Da's family was originally engaged.That's good, it saves some trouble.

He nodded and said yes, very filial.
