The carved windows and painted buildings seem very desolate.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the gatehouse inside and saw Yao Ji walking out of a wing room. She held him at the door and looked at him, took another step, bent her knees to make a fortune, and her slender neck was very straight.

Yao Ji was wearing a monk's robe and was doing this kind of etiquette, and she looked a bit weird. However, she had lived in the palace and had a very decent gesture of etiquette.

"Forgive it." Zhu Gaoxu said.

The woman saluted and looked at the ground with her eyes. At this time, Yao Ji immediately raised her head and asked softly: "What did she say when the prince saw Queen Ma?"

"I said some bad things about you." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile, "But I defend you. You are born with stunning beauty, so you are jealous, and because you are bullied for a long time, you have so much resentment."

Yao Ji immediately cast a grateful look, gently covered her ears with her hands, and said softly: "I have no hair anymore. Do the prince think I am beautiful?"

"I'm not blind," Zhu Gaoxu said, and looked up and down Yao Ji. He actually wanted to see what Yao Ji looked like without wearing such rough-cut and wide and slim monk robe. "It should be better if she doesn't wear a monk robe."

Yao Ji said: "I was not a nun at first, but was forcibly sent to Jiming Temple to be ordained."

Zhu Gaoxu walked into the wing room and said, "The queen will end up in a miserable way when she falls into the hands of the Jingnan Army. She has some grudges, so let go if she should."

He walked into the wing room and saw a bedroom inside. He walked to a wooden cabinet and opened it. He saw some clothes inside. He turned his head and said, "Isn't there any clothes here? It should be the things of the Censor Lian Ying's family. The whole family is finished, so there is no need. Don't dislike it. Make do with it first, and I'll buy you a new one later."

Yao Ji whispered: "How could I dislike it? It's just someone else's things. I won't take them privately. The prince is from a noble family, and I don't know. The more humble a person is, the more suspicious he will be."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and felt a little sad when he heard it. He was born noble, but he was also a miserable person before, so of course he could understand it.

However, Zhu Gaoxu did suspect her, not because she had a low status, but because she was from a unknown origin and some details could not be explained.

Yao Ji was approved and searched for clothes in the cabinet.

Zhu Gaoxu asked quietly, "Where was Miss Yao from before entering the palace?"

Yao Ji turned around, "I am from Nanzhili. When I was young, I was hit by bandits and separated from my parents. I was later adopted by my fellow villagers and was elected to the palace at the age of nine."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and was about to ask more details, Yao Ji's voice said softly: "Without relatives, it's like living under someone else's roof. No one has ever treated me with care..."

He heard Yao Ji's voice strange, so he sat down on a Grand Master's chair and listened silently.

No matter what, it is hard to say how to repay Yao Ji saved his life. When she needs to listen alone, Zhu Gaoxu is still willing to spend time on this small matter. He doesn’t even have the patience to do small matters for others, so how can he be grateful?

The King of Yan said nothing wrong. Zhu Gaoxu is indeed a person who knows how to be grateful. Even if it is the King of Yan, he is very unfair to him, Zhu Gaoxu is still grateful... If it weren't for the King of Yan's son, what could he have? Those words of loyalty are not all lies.

Yao Ji took out a light blue dress from the cabinet and placed it on the dressing table. Then she turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu who had already sat down. He looked like he had plenty of time and was very careful.

She said quietly: "I have been disliked since I was a child. I am a little older and have grown a little, so I have been treated better. But I know that my adoptive father has taken a fancy to my body and wants to sell me for a good price... I have always been very obedient because my adoptive father promised to help me find my biological parents in the future. I will wait for that day and find my biological parents, and someone will definitely treat me sincerely..."

Speaking of this, her voice choked.

Zhu Gaoxu asked kindly: "Have you found it?"

Yao Ji shook her head and turned around. Two lines of clear tears were slid across her beautiful cheeks. Zhu Gaoxu sighed, stood up and walked to her, stretched out his hand to stroke her back. He was kind to sympathize, but he soon thought about it. He felt her soft back lines on his hands and couldn't help but think about that figure.

Yao Ji's shoulders twitched, and his voice changed: "For the years, people in the world have been planning to bully me, and I just... hate in my heart!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, but just gently stroked her back. His mood gradually became very chaotic, and all kinds of emotions were entangled. He smelled a faint fragrance in his nose. When he leaned close, he could see the plump skin under her collarbone, which was as white as satin.

His head was dizzy and he almost didn't hear what Yao Ji said just now. He only paid attention to the light red and smooth red lips that were moving, and under the light from the carved window, it shone with a soft luster.

Zhu Gaoxu's mind was filled with her beautiful eyes with smiles and frowns. When she was in pain, sadness, resentment, and when she smiled, her emotions were very distinct and contagious, just like the color of her appearance, red lips, black eyes, and white skin. Zhu Gaoxu was even imagining her other expression, which seemed painful and confused.

Yao Ji took a step back, with tears in her eyes, but a soft smile appeared, and said, "Until I met the prince. I knew that the prince had always been thinking about me in his heart, otherwise he would not have rushed to Jiming Temple to save me when I was most desperate."

Zhu Gaoxu said gently: "I have never forgotten you for nearly half a year after I parted. I miss the taste of half a steamed bun and the small bed that I can hardly sleep with." His voice became a little heavy, "but it is very warm and addictive."

Yao Ji wiped tears with her sleeves and quickly stopped crying. She picked up the light blue clothes on the dressing table and a black hat embroidered with flowers and beads, put it in front of her, and said softly: "The hair has not grown yet. Can I wear this hat? I look good?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Miss Yao has thought it through carefully, the colors are very matched and very clear."

"I'll wear it for the prince." Yao Ji's face flushed. Her eyes were full of shame, but she did not avoid it. She looked straight into Zhu Gaoxu's eyes and gently untied the monk's robe.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a little suffocated, and widened his eyes and watched the gray monk robe fall on Yao Ji's ankle.

The blue veins on his forehead and the back of his hands were bulging, and one foot stepped forward uncontrollably. Yao Ji's face became redder and redder, but her eyes still did not avoid it. She said tremblingly: "Will the prince treat me well?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded vigorously.

He thought Yao Ji meant to treat her well in the future, but she changed her mind and whispered: "I have never been seen before. The prince treats me more gently..."

Zhu Gaoxu put his slightly stiff hand carefully on her shoulders, feeling her body trembling as if she was electrocuted.

...

He had never come out until the next day since Zhu Gaoxu entered that wing room. The soldiers prepared the meal, hot water, and the changing linings, and placed them next to the door. The wooden door of the wing room was only a crack, revealing Zhu Gaoxu's exposed arms and took them in.

He was not asking about anything else. Veda went to the door the next morning and said: "All the generals and ministers went to the imperial city to persuade the king of Yan to ascend the throne."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said, "Do you still need me to persuade me to come in? After my father refused three times, he will naturally agree."

Sometimes a sound would be made in the wing room for a long time, and Chen Dachui drove the soldiers seriously to the outside of the mansion.

In the afternoon, Zheng He came again and was welcomed by Chen Dachui to the door of the wing. Zheng He looked at the closed door and frowned and bowed, "King Gaoyang, King Yan, please go to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites immediately to discuss matters."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "For half a year, I have been sleeping in the open and finally finished the war. I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Eunuch Zheng apologized to my father for illness."

Zheng He said in confusion: "That's fine..."

As soon as he turned around, he heard a woman's suppressed and strange sigh from the room, which was dragged very long. Zheng He looked back, walked to the gatehouse of the mansion, and asked Chen Dachui: "Where did the woman inside look for?"

Chen Dachui said with a honest look: "Little Ni in the temple."

Zheng He: "…"

Zheng He returned to the imperial city, walked into the lobby of the Ministry of Rites from Qianbulu, reported the truth, first said Zhu Gaoxu's words, and said: "King Gaoyang found a nun and went to the mansion to have a lewd and enjoyed it day and night."

The generals burst into laughter.

King Yan cursed: "I didn't expect that Gao Xu is so beautiful! So many people are wearing mourning clothes, and he can't tell the difference between the times and the occasion."
