Bright Spring

In the past, Yao Ji learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how to dress up and take care of her hair and skin, how to please men, and how to avoid people's eyes and ears to pass messages, etc., but she just didn't learn this kind of "observe the rules in everything, otherwise you will die." Not worthy of a gentleman".

Now that she is in her 20s, it is indeed not easy to accept new teachings all at once.

She memorized it very well, but felt that the requirements in the article were a bit unreasonable.But it doesn't matter if you recite it in your mouth...

When Concubine Shu Du Qianrui recited it, she was also very proficient.For a woman like Du Qianrui who was trained in the Jiaofang Division very early, the whole text of the "Internal Training" chapter three is reasonable.No wonder the Empress wants to ask you about anything. "

Yao Ji said: "That's not because I am reasonable, but because I have a heart...Don't worry, I will speak good words for you in front of the queen."

"Ah?!" The yellow dog's face was full of gratitude, almost crying, "Wu Zhong was indeed the godfather of the servant before, but the servant has already done his best, begging for his life earlier. Later, the servant and Wu Zhong never contacted each other. However, this servant really doesn't know anything about him!"

Yao Ji asked softly, "Who said you knew?"

Huang Gou said: "No one said, it was the servant who figured it out on his own. The incident in Zhongdu is too big, and the servant is afraid that he will be wronged."

Yao Ji thought for a while as she walked towards the side hall slowly.

The eunuch Huanggou is afraid of being implicated in the relationship. Now the queen dare not even protect her sister, and may not protect him, and even push him out, so as not to affect the trust of the Holy Majesty!

Yao Ji said softly: "You have served the queen for so long, don't you know that the queen is a kind person? Your hard work in serving for many years, the queen has it in her heart. I will say a few words for you, don't worry too much gone."

The yellow dog said: "Thank you, Concubine Xian, for your kindness."

Yao Ji laughed again and said, "You man, don't always think of people so badly. Am I the kind of person who will take revenge? I was angry about a cat, but it has nothing to do with you."

"Slaves don't dare, dare not!" The yellow dog hastily bent over.

The two came to the gate of the side hall one after another, the yellow dog was guarding outside, and Yao Ji walked in.Seeing that none of the servants around Queen Guo Wei were here, Yao Ji went up and bowed her knees.

"Sister, come and sit next to me." Guo Wei said kindly, her tone very kind.

After a while, Guo Wei sighed softly, and said: "Duke Qian has made great contributions to the saint, and now he holds a high position. The imperial concubine is the eldest daughter of Duke Qian, she is so beautiful, and she is pregnant again. I'm... a little afraid that I can't compare to her. "

Yao Ji said: "The ministers all wrote letters to praise the queen, but no one praised the imperial concubine. Whether it can be compared, everyone's eyes are sharp."

Guo Wei said gratefully: "Thanks to my sister."

Yao Ji was noncommittal, in fact, even if there was no such thing as a harem, the ministers would still praise her, but they just had to find another reason.

Guo Wei said: "But my sister's matter..."

Yao Ji immediately understood the relationship, and said to herself: The queen is usually a very easy-going, easy-to-talk person, but she actually has her own way of life.

Yao Ji asked softly, "Are the two female officials and maids who have just gone to Mrs. Guo's courtyard sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"

Guo Wei nodded and said, "That's right. The Supervisor of Rituals doesn't care about female officials, I'm afraid it's because of His Majesty's will."

Yao Ji said calmly: "The Majesty has already made up his mind, if the Queen doesn't force the Majesty, then there is nothing to worry about."

"But she is my sister after all." Guo Wei let out a sad sigh.

Chapter 667 Desire to God

The sun has set to the west, but it is still early.The glazed tiles in the imperial concubine's palace and the lacquer paintings in the pavilions are colorful in the sun, and there are flowers, plants, pools and rockery dotted among them, the scenery is very beautiful.

Imperial Concubine Mu Zhen has just been diagnosed and is pregnant; today Zhu Gaoxu will leave early, and will come here to accompany her in the afternoon.

"It can't be seen, the imperial doctor said it will be more than one month at most." Mu Zhen said shyly, she gave Zhu Gaoxu a slightly coquettish look, but there was still a smile on her face.

Zhu Gaoxu was walking with her on the stone path between the sparse forests, a group of eunuchs and court ladies were behind, ten steps away, holding water bottles, cups of melons and fruits and other things.Just now Zhu Gaoxu looked at Mu Zhen's waist many times, but she noticed it.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "I really can't tell, some women don't even know themselves in a month or two."

He looked at Mu Zhen's small waist, it still looked slim and delicate, there was no sign of it at all.

Mu Zhen's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded her head.

Her facial features are very delicate, she is really beautiful, and the smile she often brings in front of Zhu Gaoxu is especially pleasing to the eye.Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "Closer to Zhu Zhechi, your smile is very contagious and makes me feel happy in life."

Mu Zhen raised her head and glanced at him: "The Holy Majesty treats me well and speaks warmly. If I don't smile, will I cry?"

"Hahaha..." Zhu Gaoxu laughed heartily.Immediately felt that today's weather is really nice, and Mu Zhen is still the same as before, a little playful from time to time.

Mu Zhen said again: "It seems that the heavens approve of the Holy Majesty's use of troops abroad, and also felt that the Holy Majesty's sending troops is for the sake of all people in the world."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "How can you see that?"

Mu Zhen laughed and said, "Before Zhanhe, the eldest son of the Holy One, he sent troops to Meng Yangsi to attack the Si Clan. Now that he is about to conquer Mongolia in the north, my concubine is pregnant again. Isn't this a good sign?"

"Heh!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed shortly.

He obviously doesn't believe in this. If this kind of statement will be left to later generations, it must be called a feudal superstition!

However, it is the Ming Dynasty after all, there is nothing wrong with Mu Zhen's words; what's more, she said auspicious words, and she used them to bless Zhu Gaoxu on the eve of the Northern Expedition!What can Zhu Gaoxu say?If you don't agree with this statement, you can only laugh.

Mu Zhen seemed to be very understanding, and immediately sensed Zhu Gaoxu's disapproval, she said softly: "Dong Zhongshu said, 'Heaven and man are one,' Cheng Hao said, 'Heaven and man are the same, there is no need to There is harmony', isn't that how the relationship between heaven and man works?

In the fifth year of Yongle, when the prince was abolished, he murdered the king and killed his father, and lost all virtues in the world, an earthquake occurred in the capital; when the emperor Ren Sheng came to power, auspicious omens came down from heaven.The virtues of the Holy Majesty have been sensed by the heavens. "

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to respond: "Then I have to work hard and continue to satisfy God."

Mu Zhen said: "As early as in Yunnan, I heard some words from the Holy Majesty, and I believe that the Holy Majesty is a wise Lord who can bless all people."

"Which time? I've said too much." Zhu Gaoxu put his hand on his forehead, smiled, and made a memory.

Mu Zhen said softly, "It was in the Liyuan shortly before conquering the Southern Kingdom. Your Majesty can't remember, but I have been moved and admired you for a long time."

"I have a little impression." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "King Qianning (Mu Ying) started his career with military exploits, Duke Qian is also a noble military general, but Zhen'er seems to have read a lot of books."

Mu Zhen said: "My father also loves reading."

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and couldn't help showing a wry smile again.He thought of Mu Sheng's aristocratic demeanor, and his rotten ability to lead troops and fight to a certain extent.

Mu Zhen's remarks made Zhu Gaoxu realize once again: among the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, and even some knowledgeable groups, Confucian Neo Confucianism has a very important position in the philosophical worldview, and people's thinking is relatively unified.

The ruler is not ignorant, because people all over the world don't know the common sense of "the earth is round" and so on!On the contrary, the scholars assumed a foundation of "worldview" and were able to construct a very complete and rigorous philosophical system based on it, which is not the result of wisdom.

When it came to such a deep topic, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't convince Mu Zhen for a while, and he didn't agree with her, so he began to change the topic consciously.He remembered something that made Mu Zhen feel more strongly, so he turned his head and glanced at the scene behind him.

The court ladies and eunuchs are all ten steps away, far away.Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice: "That time in Liyuan, I saw your body, it was really not on purpose."

Sure enough, Mu Zhen's face turned red immediately, and she might have immediately forgotten about any celestial feelings.

Suddenly mentioned that although Mu Zhen was very embarrassed, but now that the two of them have a title, she quickly calmed down again.She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and said softly: "You can't blame the Holy One for that matter. But please don't get me wrong, I'm not that kind of person..."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Of course I understand."
