Emperor Zhu Di obeyed and returned to the palace by Xuanzang Temple. At this time, it was more than an hour before the You hour. After becoming emperor, he was very busy, but he did not go to the court to work again today, but went straight to Kunning Palace.

At this time, Zhu Di went to meet Empress Xu, and probably asked about the establishment of the crown prince.

...

Regarding his mother, Xu, when Zhu Gaoxu first met her in his life, he was already sixteen years old. At that time, he had a title of prince and had his own mansion. He never lived with his mother again, and even had a chance to meet.

Zhu Gaoxu did not have the chance to get Xu's maternal love, but he did feel the motherhood or the warmth of women...

Like when Zhu Gaoxu sneaked into the capital last year, after hearing that Xu knew about it, he quarreled with Zhu Di because he was worried about Gao Xu's danger; and she rarely blushed between her and Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaoxu fully believes that as long as the mother is still there, the royal family will have family affection, and at least the personal safety of their brothers and sisters is guaranteed.

There is also Xu Huizu, who did a lot of things that harmed the Yan Prince's Mansion during the "Jingnan Dynasty". If Xu Huizu was not the brother of Empress Xu, no matter what kind of founding hero he was, and his status as a Duke, he would have died ten or eight times, and I am afraid that even his family would not be able to be protected!

Xu Huizu is still at home and lives well. When the "Jingnan Army" entered the city, he showed the iron coupon and said only one thing that he was a founding hero, so no one dared to harass him without authorization. But the iron coupon is really useful? Zhu Gaoxu was skeptical.

...The so-called everything is often like a double-edged sword. Empress Xu is concerned about family affection, and Zhu Gaoxu, as her son, will benefit; but because of family affection, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he could not get the support of his mother's queen and had no chance of being the crown prince.

That is not a preference, so Zhu Gaoxu has never blamed his mother.

In the eyes of the mother, it is obviously much safer for the eldest son to inherit the throne in the future than for Gao Xu to take up the throne. Because as the eldest son, there is no need to be unable to tolerate his brothers anymore.

However, the mother could not foresee the cruel consequences of the battle for imperial power, and no one could convince her that even her grandson succeeded to the throne and could not tolerate Gao Xu.

...The news that the father was discussing the candidate for the crown prince has been circulating among the powerful people in the capital. However, Zhu Gaoxu did not give any hope. Now he just wants to know where he would be sealed.

On the evening of early autumn, Zhu Gaoxu walked in the small area of ​​the Prince's Mansion and felt some chill.

When he walked to Yao Ji's room, he saw that the light was on inside. Without thinking much, he knocked on the door twice. Perhaps the lights always make people feel warm.

The door opened, Yao Ji stood behind the door, looked at Zhu Gaoxu with an unexpected look, and called out: "Prince."

"I want to spend the night in your room tonight. If you ask someone to get some hot water, I want to take a shower and change my clothes." Zhu Gaoxu said.

"Prince, come in quickly." Yao Ji's beautiful eyes were a little surprised and relieved.

Since it has been confirmed that Yao Ji is a spy, she is a dangerous person. So Zhu Gaoxu said she would be a little surprised to say that she would spend the night here, right?

I heard that after entering Beijing today, except for spending the night with Empress Xu, I never slept with any concubines and worried about safety issues. But Zhu Gaoxu's personality is not like his father.

In order to let Zhu Gaoxu take a bath, Yao Ji began to do every trivial matter with her own hands. She did a lot of rough and dirty work in the palace and temples, but when she went to the prince's mansion, she almost didn't touch the spring water, but she did all kinds of housework.

After pouring the third bucket of steaming water into the bathtub, Yao Ji took a breath and said softly, "Does the prince believe me?"

"I don't believe it." Zhu Gaoxu said the truth. Perhaps he felt a little stiff and he said again, "But I think that where a person's position is has nothing to do with other aspects, such as the character of his character, whether it is worth treating with care, etc."

Yao Ji's eyes flashed across his face and continued to do his job silently.

Zhu Gaoxu took off his clothes and soaked them in the hot water, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I have known the prince for so long, and I don't think the prince is as violent as the rumors." Yao Ji picked up a small pinch of dried petals with her fingertips and threw them on the water, and said softly.

Zhu Gaoxu was soaked in the water and quickly felt soft all over and his mind was a little dizzy. He squinted his eyes and said slowly: "I was actually an angry person before... I was just a person who often felt very angry, and brutally can be regarded as a person. But now there is no reason to be angry anymore."

"Why?" Yao Ji said casually.

"Maybe because I have enough things, I don't feel sorry for me." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Yao Ji thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu paused and murmured: "I believe that the queen mother hopes that all her children will be good. The father may have been sorry for others, but he does not have a son who is sorry for him.

If there are people who will be sorry to me in the future, then it will not be the father; everything I have is given to him, not anyone else.

Therefore, when I guessed that my father would not make me the crown prince, I was not resentful… If I were not his son, I would not have the opportunity to lead troops on the battlefield to make contributions, so why would I be proud of myself?”

"The prince's implication is that he wants me to bring these words back?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at Yao Ji, and saw a smile on her beautiful face, a little suspicious and a little joke. Bright and divine eyes, like a mirror-like heart... But what she showed really misunderstood Zhu Gaoxu.

"I'm indeed talking about my heart." Zhu Gaoxu said seriously.

"Okay." A slight smile appeared on the corner of Yao Ji's mouth.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed lightly, relaxed his body, and leaned down there in a barely comfortable position, closing his eyes.

Yao Ji's voice said in his ear: "There is nothing wrong with the prince thinking this way, but many wealthy and noble children will not think this way. Those people will think that what they get is worthy; if others don't give enough in the future, they will feel resentful."

She spoke very gently today. Sometimes she spoke as if she hadn't passed her throat, only a thin breath as if she was as thin as a fucking spring.

"You're very reasonable." Zhu Gaoxu immediately opened his eyes, "So I think that people who had nothing before and who had obtained very little things know how to be grateful."

The two of them were talking in a mess.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered again, "You are so nice to me today, why are you sometimes very cold?"

Yao Ji still maintained the gentleness she had just now, as if she was murmured in Zhu Gaoxu's ears, "When you are cold to the prince, you are not bad to you. It is because you want to treat you with your heart that you are entangled in your identity. You are upset and don't know how to face the prince, how can you not be cold?"

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, as if he was catching the vague and light willow catkins in the white gas. He nodded and said, "It seems to make sense."

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu had finished washing and didn't want to stay in a bucket. He was tall and strong, and he felt aggrieved in the bathtub.

Yao Ji wiped the water from his skin, picked up the clean lining and ordinary clothes to serve him.

In the Ming Dynasty, no matter what clothes were, they had no buttons, but were made of belts, and some places needed to be tied to secure the position.

Zhu Gaoxu stood there, spread his arms and waited. Yao Ji hugged Zhu Gaoxu's waist in the waist so that he could reach out and pull the belt from behind him. He didn't move, and smelled the fragrance of her body very much, enjoying the beautiful movements of her agile and white hands, and the beautiful movements when he tied the belt.

At this time, he found that Yao Ji's way of tying the straps was very strange and clever. Anyway, he had never seen this technique before, so he couldn't help but gently pull his clothes.

"I can't disperse." Yao Ji looked up at him.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I just think it's strange."

Yao Ji was busy tying her clothes and then said softly: "I have biological parents, but I was not raised by them... If they were there, why would I do something to sell others by the prince?"

Zhu Gaoxu refused to comment. He thought of Xu Miaojin's experience. Miaojin seemed to be raised by his biological parents. But he did not interrupt Yao Ji. As long as the people around him were willing to tell him, he would most likely be willing to listen.

Sure enough, Yao Ji continued, "It's strange. When I left my biological father, I was still young and couldn't even remember what he looked like, but I remember how he taught me how to tie my belt."

"So that's how I learned it." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and asked quietly, "Why are they... Yao Ji's biological parents no longer here?"

Yao Ji's expression became a little sad, "It was all heard from relatives that my father ran away for a crime and his mother hanged himself. But I can't remember anything. Occasionally, I dreamed of my father. His face was blurred and he was wearing thick armor... Prince, only soldiers can wear armor?"

She paused slightly and added, "It looks very majestic!"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Of course, since it is a thick armor weighing dozens of pounds, who can wear that thing except for war? And it is very likely that he is a general. Most of the armor of ordinary soldiers can only cover important parts, and will not wear armor all over his body."

He suddenly felt that Yao Ji was also pitiful, and sighed slightly, and said, "How can you teach me how you tie your clothes just now?"

Yao Ji's face turned slightly red: "The prince has so many people serving him, why should he learn that thing?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Because I don't know how to comfort you."

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, and only then could he look up could see Zhu Gaoxu's face. The two of them were silent for a moment, and Yao Ji untied the belt around her waist and slowly tied it up so that Zhu Gaoxu could see clearly.

Zhu Gaoxu found that he really didn't have the talent in this area, and he didn't learn it after learning it several times. He was even a little angry, but he insisted on learning it, repeatedly practicing with the silk rope around Yao Ji's waist. Finally, he finally learned it. His hands touched Yao Ji's graceful waist for a long time. I don't know if it was because he was urgent to learn the fine technique or why, he felt very hot all over.
