In such a good time, spring plowing has passed, summer has not yet arrived, the weather is warm and sunny. The emperor and queen, who are role models in the world, occasionally come to the old mansion of the King of Han, and it is not an exaggeration to have some leisure time.

The royal family played in the back garden for a while and came to the theater again. They just waited for a while to drink tea and rest, and then they could enjoy the opera prepared by the Jiaofangsi.

Zhu Gaoxu also came over. He was sitting in the same room with Guo Wei; the concubines were also in other rooms in the theater, with someone waiting for him. However, Zhu Gaoxu was a little distracted and couldn't help but think about what happened to Chen Xianzhen and Ruan Jingyi before.

The two sat on the Grand Master's chair, across a small wooden coffee table; and the eunuch Cao Fu has returned, and the eunuch who is standing is also the yellow dog.

At this time, Guo Wei asked carefully and softly: "I heard that Chen Xianzhen, an Annan native, has arrived in the capital again. Has she been upset by the emperor?"

Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and turned to look at Guo Wei.

Guo Wei seemed to be a little concerned about this matter, but she was also unreproachful. After all, according to the morality of the royal family, the emperor needed to show kindness and the royal heir to prosper, and the queen could not be jealous. If the emotional loyalty of the future generations and the current rules are applied, it would be completely unreasonable.

"I have issued an order to send her to Fengyang." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I didn't want her to be trapped here, and wanted to give her freedom, but she ran back."

"Ah?" Guo Wei suddenly looked puzzled and surprised.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at a tinted incense stick by the wall. According to the arrangement, everyone had to rest for two incense sticks before going to the hall to watch the show. So Zhu Gaoxu roughly talked about Chen Xianzhen and Ruan Jingyi from beginning to end.

After a long time he finished speaking, the anger in his heart spread, and he couldn't help but say, "Chen Xian really wanted to assassinate me, or had other evil intentions, but she was not the most hateful person, and the one who made me angry the most was Li Li!"

Guo Wei said: "The Lord believes that Li Li is the messenger behind the scenes?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "It's mostly him. Most of the remnants of Annan's rebels just want to save their lives, but Li Li is still actively doing it."

He remembered something and immediately looked back and said, "There is no evidence for this matter, and you can't confirm that Chen Xian's real intentions are. Otherwise, the consequences of this matter will be expanded and there will be no benefit."

The two eunuchs hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "I will obey the order."

Guo Wei turned her head gently, looking like she was thinking about things seriously, and she asked again: "What I don't understand is why Chen Xianzhen obeyed Li Li, and why did she do such a thing?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "She has been trapped in a psychological trap for a long time and has a tendency to destroy herself. Because she wants to get rid of secular public condemnation, she also wants to be a hero of the Annan people to obtain a kind of personal self-salvation." Zhu Gaoxu said this and added, "But these are all just what I guess."

Guo Wei looked at Zhu Gaoxu innocently and said with a sad face: "I don't understand at all."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her and said, "Viere is good like this. She doesn't have such an entangled pain. She has a lenient and peaceful temperament, and can also make the people around her relaxed and comfortable. Life is only a few decades, why not get through with yourself?"

Guo Wei said stubbornly: "But can the emperor tell me what's going on with her?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said patiently: "Ruan Jingyi felt that he was stabbed in his heart, but at the cost of self-sacrifice, he actually caused 'emotional kidnapping' and 'moral kidnapping' to Chen Xianzhen."

Guo Wei's eyes were bright and clear, and she listened to Zhu Gaoxu's explanation very seriously.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Simply put, Ruan Jingyi once killed his father in order to save her life. With such serious efforts and a great storm at that time, there should be many Annan nobles who knew about this; can Chen Xianzhen still repay Ruan Jingyi?"

Guo Wei frowned and said, "Ruan Jingyi is so nice to her. Shouldn't she be moved and grateful?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "If this is just a fairy tale... If everything else is perfect, maybe the two of them will have a good result. However, Chen Xianzhen seemed to dislike that person at all. At first, it seemed that he hated his appearance, behavior, temperament, character, and identity; but because of this, he had to be entangled with him for a lifetime and be controlled by him, and Chen Xianzhen was very arrogant. Do you think she could feel good?"

Guo Wei nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "If Ruan Jingyi had suffered a lot of grudges every day and was deeply in pain and gloomy; then Chen Xianzhen would feel guilty and great guilt. Ruan Jingyi seemed to have been depressed since childhood, and I didn't know what was going on; in short, he transferred his suffering and responsibility to Chen Xianzhen, but he didn't know it."

He paused and said slowly: "Annan's culture and morality are deeply influenced by the Central Plains, so reputation should be very important. This matter is not just the matter of them. As a member of the Chen clan, Chen Xianzhen will also evaluate and judge her morality in the world.

Over time, Chen Xianzhen was constantly under pressure, burden, and emotional demands for a long time. It was not very strange that she had resentment and even hatred in her guilt."

"I seem to understand a little. The Lord said it makes sense." Guo Wei nodded, "If it weren't for the Lord's words, I would have never thought of it. How could you see through people's hearts if you were really sensible?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly, and a feeling of sadness came into his heart.

If he hadn't tasted guilt and guilt, how could he understand such feelings? His mistake back then was even more thorough, because gambling and betting almost ruined the family, and the responsibility was completely unshirkable, and it was his sin. In the face of inner guilt and accusations from his family, he could not find it, even if it was a fallacy to forgive himself.

Of course he had no way to explain all this, and could only say: "It's all my guess, not necessarily true."

Guo Wei looked convinced: "I think that's really the case."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said, "According to this understanding, all guesses can be correct. Chen Xianzhen wanted to destroy himself while saving himself in his soul. If she sacrificed herself for the sake of the country, the "Second Lady" in Annan's history is her role model, and everyone's moral accusations will no longer exist."

He thought for a while and said, "Chen Xianzhen heard that Ruan Jingyi was not dead, so she wanted to borrow my hand from me to get rid of Ruan Jingyi. The reason may be that he was afraid that Ruan Jingyi would betray her after surrendering, so that she would not be able to gain my trust. After all, Ruan Jingyi knew who she was very good; secondly, because of hatred, he wanted Ruan Jingyi to die with her."

When Zhu Gaoxu said this, his expression changed: "The Chen Xianzhen family has lost everything. If she wants to do this, if there is no support from the forces behind her, she may not even be able to go to the Governor's Office in Dongguan City. In this matter, the most innocent and worst person should be the culprit! As my enemy, this person has no demeanor at all, and he is simply useless by any means!"

Guo Wei advised kindly: "Stop being angry, don't get angry for a bad person."

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down: "This person's reputation in Annan Kingdom is constantly rising, and many people surrender to him. Maybe he is a hero of Annan Kingdom, but the hero of the enemy is my enemy. I must find a way to get rid of him."

After he said that, he turned to see Guo Wei, and then said apologetically: "I shouldn't have brought you troubles."

Guo Wei smiled gently and shook her head again.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Taizu established the ancestral system that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Weier did not have to worry about these military and national affairs without taking the power of the country. If you are quite satisfied with your current life, I will be very happy."

Guo Wei said: "I am honored by the queen and should assist the emperor in his own affairs, share his worries, and be an example for women in the world."

Zhu Gaoxu took a look at the short scent of the fragrance, which was already the second one. He slapped his thighs with both hands, stood up, and said, "Let's go and listen to the opera."

The two walked in front, and the eunuchs followed behind. When Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door, he suddenly remembered Hu Yi's ideal: as long as the world suffers less, he will not be hungry in the years of famine - death in the wilderness, and food and clothing can barely be maintained in the years of harvest.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that Hu Yi's political and governance ideal of "reducing pain" seemed not easy.

On the stage in the hall, the musicians of the Jiaofangsi were ready. There were some chairs and several tables opposite the stage. The middle position was kept for Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei. Mu Zhen, Miao Jin, Yao Ji and other concubines all stood up and bowed their knees to salute. Guo Wei was a legitimate queen and was convinced by the status. In addition, Guo Wei did not exclude everyone, so the beauties smiled.

Guo Wei greeted, "You guys sit down, today is just for fun."

She waved again and said, "Zhanhe, come to my mother's place."

Zhu Gaoxu was excited and suddenly looked at Du Qianrui and said, "Why don't Concubine Shu sing a few passages for us first, "Peony Pavilion" composed by King Ning."

Du Qianrui stood up, looked down at her light red skirt, and said, "I am not prepared."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "There are no outsiders today, so it's okay."

Du Qianrui bent her knees a little embarrassedly and said, "I follow the order."

The eunuch of the inner palace, Huang Dog, jogged to the side of the platform and shouted in a low voice: "Peony Pavilion, prepare the musical instruments."

Du Qianrui walked to the stage dignifiedly, walked for a while, then turned to Zhu Gaoxu and said, "I haven't practiced for a long time, so I think it's ugly."

Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "I'm not very proficient anyway, I just think listening to opera is an elegant show."

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter around him, and Du Qianrui's cheeks were slightly red: "The Lord is really good at joking."

It was then that Zhu Gaoxu realized that in this era, opera is really a popular program and one of the most common ways of entertainment.

Elegant things seem to be just old things that have been eliminated. After all, it is not down-to-earth, but culture seems elegant and cultural; but culture is closely related to people. If something that was once completely unpopular, it cannot be called culture.
