In late April of the 35th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di appointed Xu as the queen. A few days after the ceremony, the empress and his children successively expressed their congratulations, and Xu then set up a family banquet in the Imperial Garden to entertain relatives.

When the prince received the imperial edict, Yuan Gong had just arrived at the prince's mansion.

Yuan Gong came straight from Xuanzang Temple. He turned out to be a monk in the martial arts world and did not believe in Buddhism. He went to the temple just because Yao Guangxiao lived in the temple. Yuan Gong and Jin Zhong were both recommended by Yao Guangxiao to the Yan Palace, so they have the high-ranking officials and generous salaries today.

Yao Guangxiao made great contributions in the "Jingnan Battle". After ascending the throne, he wanted to give him a mansion. The palace maids did not want anything and lived in the temple. In the morning, he wore official uniforms and went to court, and when he went to court, he wore monk's robes.

The prince was busy changing clothes, but did not avoid Yuan Gong and asked Yuan Gong what was wrong. However, Yuan Gong twisted the beard on his lips and said nothing.

So the prince put on the dragon suit and took off his servants and asked again.

At this time, Yuan Gong said: "It seems inappropriate today. If you go to court in the Imperial Gate another day, the prince can plead for Fang Xiaoru's family."

"Ah?" The prince was stroking his robe. At this time, the movements in his hand stopped there. He said in shock, "Is Yuan Sicheng wanting me to disobey my father?"

Yuan Gong frowned and said, "It's not a question of disobedience."

The prince held the chair and sat down. He didn't even want to stand for a moment. He would never want to stand if he could sit. He said, "The father would definitely be unhappy! Although Fang Xiaoru was famous, he refused to surrender and scolded his father. Moreover, Fang Xiaoru's adopted son Fang Zhongyi stabbed the censor Jingqing to death. The father blamed him for raising dead soldiers in captivity and was very angry!"

The prince paused and continued, "At the end of Hongwu, Jingqing had a good relationship with his father and was in danger, and he had been in contact with him since then. Jingqing's daughter once recognized her mother as her sister. However, Jingqing was assassinated by Fang Xiaoru's support for the scholars in the street. If I plead for Fang Xiaoru's family at this time, wouldn't I make my father angry?"

Yuan Gong said calmly: "The prince's words are reasonable. However, if the prince dares to act like a priest, he will have to be kind in his heart. Only then will he have such righteous deeds be seen by the scholars in the world. If the prince can accept the prince's advice, it will also be beneficial to the prince."

When the prince heard this, he looked at each other with Yuan Gong.

"The hearts of scholars in the world..." Yuan Gong said in a deep voice again.

...The Imperial Garden is on the west side of Chunhe Hall. Zhu Gaoxu was summoned and cleaned up. Thinking that it was a family banquet, he didn't care about so much and wore a purple round body to get things done.

He entered the city from Bei'anmen to the north, and then went north to the west gate. After walking through the long corridor, he entered the palace. Walking through the corridor made Zhu Gaoxu feel very unhappy. The red walls on both sides were only a piece of sky as big as a palm on his head, and he felt like he was trapped in a cage.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the Imperial Garden, he felt that the garden of the palace was nothing but Err, and it was not as good as the most ordinary garden in the city. Because there were only sparse big trees and floor tiles were paved in the middle, it looked very monotonous, probably to prevent hiding.

He also saw a pool and a rockery, which were also very monotonous, without any embellishments of flowers and plants, and could see it all at a glance. The trees were not close to the wall, and the wall was high. He was in the palace and could not see anything outside. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that it would be depressing to be in this palace for a little longer.

A eunuch took Zhu Gaoxu and passed by the rockery. Zhu Gaoxu turned around and watched for a while before continuing to walk forward. Suddenly, two women came towards him. Zhu Gaoxu thought they were palace maids or concubines at first, but after a look, he felt that they didn't look like him.

But I saw two women getting close to each other. The older woman was only in her teenage years, but her figure had matured and plump, and her face was charming.

The other one is very short and beautiful, with delicate and fair skin, and a childish face. The neck exposed from the collar and the wrists outside the sleeves are white and tender, and they look white and pure. However, the satin clothes worn by this girl are obviously not suitable, as if they are not hers.

The two women approached Zhu Gaoxu, and then let them go aside, bent their knees slightly to give a blessing. The little girl was originally very polite, but then she raised her head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu quietly, her big bright eyes as bright as the moonlight were full of curiosity.

The little girl gave Zhu Gaoxu a very good impression. Her purity and bright and calm eyes made people feel beautiful, as if there was no filth in the world, and the world was so bright, wonderful and full of vitality.

Zhu Gaoxu is nineteen years old this year, with only a shallow beard on his mouth, but he is obviously a man. It must be very rare to see men in the palace, so she was curious?

Zhu Gaoxu also faced her eyes and looked at each other. The girl lowered her eyes a little embarrassedly, and two blushings suddenly appeared on her beautiful cheeks. She was really a shy little girl.

"You are not people in the palace?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help asking. Since he was not from the palace, how could he wander around the Imperial Garden? Of course, he knew his sisters, but he didn't know these two girls.

The little girl immediately asked briskly: "How do you know?"

"I guess." Zhu Gaoxu said gently with a smile. He thought the little girl was innocent and cute, so he joked, "You are growing up, there is no need to make your clothes so big? Haha!"

The little girl blushed, "It's not my clothes."

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu made a questioning voice.

The little girl blurted out, "I borrowed it for me. I originally had clothes made of silk, but the silk is too delicate and will get old in two years and will be easily broken. We want to come to the palace, so we can't wear old clothes."

"Viere!" The big girl next to her pulled her sleeve.

Zhu Gaoxu was even more curious and smiled and said, "It's really strange. Women who can enter the palace need to borrow clothes?"

The little girl was pulled a little and looked at Zhu Gaoxu without saying a word.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I'll ask casually. If I don't want to say it, I don't have to force it." He spoke very gentlely, after all, he was talking to a beautiful girl who was about to be thirteen or fourteen years old. The girl was also very friendly, afraid of scaring her.

The older girl said, "Young Master, my sister is rude and she actually says such embarrassing words. Please don't laugh at me."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "No, it's me that I'm rude, so I shouldn't ask too much. Besides, clothes are not important. People are wise and wise, who doesn't respect them? Wang Baochuan has lived in the Han Kiln for eighteen years, but he has never seen the world look down on her."

The eldest girl blushed and said softly: "The young master is worthy of being a noble family member, knowledgeable and polite, and treats people sincerely and kindly."

"Haha, thank you for your praise." Zhu Gaoxu said with his fists, "As a sister, I know that the man in the Imperial Garden must be a noble family member."

The eldest girl lowered her head, plucked her anger, and said, "Dare you ask the young master Gao's name?"

"My name is Zhu Gaoxu." He smiled.

At this moment, the little girl's face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes. The pair of tender gloves were very hard, as if she was scared, and she was tense.

The big girl was also frozen there.

"Prince Gaoyang?" the eldest girl said tremblingly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked confused, looked down at himself and said in a daze: "What's the problem with me?"

The little girl said timidly: "You didn't lie to us, are you? How could King Gaoyang look like this?"

"What should it look like?" Zhu Gaoxu, the second monk, was confused and reached out to rub his cheek, and was very puzzled. He had no idea what was going on, and suddenly an amazing idea came to his mind: Could it be that he had traveled through time again?

He quickly walked two steps towards the pool and looked into the water. The pool was shallow and the reflection was blurry, but he could recognize that the person inside was Zhu Gaoxu!

"I was scared, I thought I had become someone else." Zhu Gaoxu said with relief.

After hearing this, the little girl didn't know where Zhu Gaoxu thought he was funny, so she covered her mouth and laughed out loud. She was frightened and her face flushed.

...The two women were the granddaughter of Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, Guo Yan and Guo Wei. Their mother, Xu, is the Empress's family. The Empress's family banquet, so they invited the mother and daughter to the palace for the banquet. The two sisters were very curious about the imperial garden of the palace, so they walked around for a while before they met Zhu Gaoxu who had just arrived.

Guo Yan was a little bit blaming her sister for being outspoken, and she felt that the family would soon be less embarrassed. After her grandfather passed away, because of more than ten uncles and uncles, they didn’t even have a new silk clothes as long as they were separated. Unexpectedly, the man in front of her actually said that he was King Gaoyang!

King Gaoyang is not a fierce and domineering evil person? How could he look like this? How could he speak so gently and think so for others?

Guo Yan suddenly felt a little disappointed and couldn't explain why. However, Guo Yan quickly felt relieved again and finally felt a little relieved about her sister's affairs.

She looked at Zhu Gaoxu. Although this person was not as gentle as a gentleman, he was neat and clean, tall and upright, and did not look like a villain at all. His clothes were ironed straight, the color was not eye-catching or patterned, but the material was lustered, and the white silk in the deep purple collar was spotless. He had no decorations on his body, only a mutton fat jade pendant on his waist, which was milky white, warm and pure, and looked very valuable. He looked not exaggerated and very elegant.

Moreover, his voice is magnetically nice, he speaks gently, speaks calmly, and is very kind to people. Only his mountain-like figure makes the little woman feel

There is pressure and a faint sense of suffocation. If he is a bully, Guo Yan only feels bully and has no malice.

"Are you really King Gaoyang?" Guo Yan couldn't help but ask again.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "If you want to change it."

After a word came out, the sister next to her covered her mouth and held back her smile, her eyes curled like a crescent moon, and she might think that Zhu Gaoxu was a little funny when he spoke.

Guo Yan understands her sister's thoughts very well. She was afraid and worried, and her expectations were very low. Unexpectedly, she would be surprised if she didn't smile when she saw the person she was going to marry. It would be strange if she didn't smile! It would be clear how she was happy.

Zhu Gaoxu indeed glanced at Guo Wei and smiled, "The girl loves to laugh, and the people around him must be very happy. Which family are you from?"
