Chapter seven hundred and eighty first ambition
Since yesterday afternoon, Yao Ji has been staying with Zhu Gaoxu in the East Nuan Pavilion, and was in the palace of Xianfei again in the evening. When she woke up the next morning, she found that Zhu Gaoxu was no longer by her side. After asking the palace maid, she found out that he was still in the palace of Xianfei and was running outside after getting up.
Yao Ji got up and cleaned up a little, put on a thin silk robe outside her underwear, and walked outside the bedroom. Sure enough, she heard footsteps and gasps.
Before dawn, there was light in the stone carving lampstand next to the brick and stone road. Under the vague lights, a burly body was undulating and running. Of course, the man was Zhu Gaoxu. He was running while gasping, but his breath was very uniform and powerful.
After a while, Zhu Gaoxu ran over. He was wearing a short gray cotton shirt and loose pants underneath. It seemed very hot, his face was covered with sweat, and his clothes were wet with sweat, stuck to his arms, his collar was open, revealing his strong chest.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Yao Ji, stopped and said, "It's still early, Concubine Xian will sleep for a while."
Yao Ji said: "What is the emperor doing?"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I have been in the capital for too long and take time to exercise from time to time. My body must be fat and gain weight. Maintaining my figure is also keeping my condition."
Yao Ji looked at it and felt that Zhu Gaoxu was really good. It was not the point of being tall, but the proportion of the body looked very energetic, with long legs and a taller person. He smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
Yao Ji also smelled a very nice smell in his sweat, but she couldn't tell what it smelled.
She bit her red lips gently and looked at him with a smile.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes swept over her thin robe, and she swallowed a mouthful of water, shook her head, and then lay on the ground, using her hands and feet to make her body fluctuate, making strange movements.
Yao Ji leaned beside the door and watched him "activity" there with great interest. After watching for a long time, she didn't feel bored at all, but felt very comfortable and happy.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu's legs were pulled forward, and the person jumped up and stood up straight, then let out a long sigh: "Today is almost done. I think we can move tonight in the future, so we don't have to get up so early."
Yao Ji picked up a wet towel from the wooden plate in the palace maid's hand, walked up to gently wipe Zhu Gaoxu's sweat. Her movements were very gentle and meticulous, as if she was not serving him, but stroking his skin.
From time to time, she raised her head, looked at Zhu Gaoxu with her beautiful eyes, and whispered: "Isn't the lord's activities enough tonight?"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I will have to go to the morning court later."
Yao Ji looked innocent and pursed her lips and said, "The emperor answered the question irrelevantly, what does it mean?"
"That's what it means." Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Swish!" Yao Ji covered her mouth with a towel, laughed out loud, and took advantage of the opportunity to smell the faint smell on the towel.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "No need to wipe it, I'll go rinse it now, change my clothes and go to do the business. The time is almost done."
Yao Ji took the towel and put it in the palace maid's hand, saying, "I just like to see the ambitious look of the emperor."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, made a look of thought, and then said, "Concubine Xian understands me."
Yao Ji said: "I serve the emperor to take a bath and change his clothes."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "No need to do this morning. I will just wash my sweat and be in a hurry."
Sure enough, he took a shower conveniently, changed his clothes, and went out after breakfast. Yao Ji sent him away before returning to the bedroom to take a shower. She usually didn't take a shower in the morning unless Zhu Gaoxu went to bed in the Xianfei Palace.
However, Yao Ji's bathing is more complicated. After she takes a bath and eats, dresses up, she will definitely be able to reach the end of the day.
The powder carefully prepared by the Imperial Hospital was placed in a wooden barrel and mixed with warm water, and the smell was a little pungent; then sprinkle some petals of flowers picked and dried in spring, and slightly adjust the smell of water with a faint fragrance. She soaked it comfortably, let the female officials and palace maids wait for the cleaning, and then ate a bite of the beehive soup fed by the palace maids from time to time. Listening to the compliments of the servants, she was not panicked at all. Anyway, the Xianfei Palace had nothing.
Not only will the palace internal affairs allocate various supplies, but her brother Yao Fang is also rich now and will ask someone to send some expensive small gifts to the palace from time to time.
"I like this soup the most. You can't eat too much, otherwise your chest will swell and hurt." Yao Ji waved his hand gently.
"Yes." The palace maid who fed her took the thing away.
The female official next to her gently pinched her shoulders and flattered her in an envious tone: "I am five years younger than Concubine Xian, but when I compare with Concubine Xian, I feel like I am ten years older than Concubine Xian! Look at your fairy skin and slippery skin, just like a fairy's body. Where can I see it in the world?"
Yao Ji's chest was undulating, and the water surface of the wooden barrel was rippling. She turned her head gently and said, "Then do I want to call you sister?"
"I don't dare, Empress Xian is really good at joking," said the female official.
Another older female official said: "The Empress is the identity of heaven and is as close as a sister to the Empress. How dare Meiren Li compare with the Empress?"
Yao Ji was in a good mood, so she took the conversation and said, "I was not from a wealthy family, but fortunately I was born well."
"That's that's that." Li Meiren hurriedly echoed.
Yao Ji said again: "Fortunately, I met the emperor. The emperor was very talented and made great strategists. I became emperor all the way from the prince. I didn't suffer any hardship, so I waited to become an imperial concubine. If I hadn't met the emperor, could a person like me be liked by my father and mother? Can I be an imperial concubine?"
Li Meiren said: "That is the Empress who was born with a wealthy life."
Yao Ji made a soft voice from the tip of her tongue disapproved, "I looked good when I was a teenager, but if I had been confused and squandered my appearance at that time, I would live a hard life with wind and sun, and the fairy could not cover up the trouble. When I looked back, I was a little older and realized when I looked in the mirror, I would not be able to go back."
The older palace lady said, "What the Empress said is that thanks to the Empress's love, I can do something light when I approach you."
After Yao Ji took a shower, she went to dress up. Sure enough, when she finished the morning work, the sun had already risen to the treetops. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided not to leave Xianfei Palace in the morning. Then she came to the study and asked someone to make a cup of locust flower tea, then read the book and write.
She had suffered a lot in the past and suffered both physically and mentally, but she never told the palace ladies; but now it seems that there are benefits. On ordinary good days, Yao Ji was quite patient and could keep her mind very calm. Even if she copied an elegant article and looked at her elegant words, she could find satisfactory happiness.
After lunch, Yao Ji planned to rest for half an hour, and then went to Kunning Palace to find the queen. Today, the concubines don’t have to pay homage to the queen, but the queen likes to talk to Yao Ji very much, and Yao Ji often keeps walking around and maintains an intimate relationship.
As for the eunuch who secretly told the female official of Xianfei Palace that the imperial concubine had gone to Rouyi Palace again this afternoon. Although this incident made Yao Ji feel unhappy, it did not affect her mood much. Yao Ji was still doing her own thing and when she was ready, she went to Kunning Palace.
...In Rouyi Hall, Zhu Gaoxu did not talk to Miaojin at this time. He was listening to Wang Jinghong's report and walking around the ground, as if he was a little worried.
Wang Jinghong and the civil and military officials who were voyage to the West wrote memorials and sent them to him, but Zhu Gaoxu still summoned the eunuch and heard him say it more carefully.
"I just let out a little news. It was far from the time when the tax was collected, the Manraga (Malacca) was ruined behind the scenes." Wang Jinghong said, "The king of the Manraga was called Bailimisura, and he was originally the prince of the Three Buddhas Kingdom. The Three Buddhas Kingdom was destroyed by the Manzheboyi Kingdom (territory in southern Malay, Sumatra and other places), and his prince Bailimisura restored the country in Malacca."
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he said, "I have read many files in the past. Isn't the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Jinghong bowed and said, "As the emperor said, it was good at first. After the fall of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, Shi Jinqing, a Han man, gained a foothold in the old port and was appointed as the old port Xuanfu Envoy, and sheltered many people who fled from the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom. After Bairimisura was restored in Malacca, the court officials seemed to have enthroned a woman named Han Baoli as a princess and married Bairimisura. This matter was not recorded in the palace, or something the Ming fleet had done in the West.
But most of the noble ministers under Bairimisura converted to the Hui and Hui Sect, and the king would convert sooner or later. This made the ambition of Mantaga's country grow increasingly, and wanted all nearby countries to believe in the Hui and Hui Sect. Previously, Mantaga and Java had often had trouble. Now they found that the power of the Ming court was about to expand to Malacca, so they tried to persuade the countries to form an alliance to deal with the Ming official army."
Wang Jinghong remembered something and suddenly said, "By the way, I went to Java to collect the gold for compensation, and almost didn't receive the money because the messenger from the Malacca country was separated from it."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I understand."
After a while, Wang Jinghong said carefully: "Emperor, Malacca is too far away. If we really want to set up officials to collect taxes, the court will be out of reach, and it will be difficult to deal with."
Zhu Gaoxu simply said: "Tax-covering system."
He walked to the big table, looked at a map, and based on his memory, he found the approximate location of Singapore on the map; the capital of Manchuca was not there, but in Malacca. Should he make a territorial request to Manchuca? As long as the land in Singapore and Poland builds a castle port, or simply destroy this country, so as to avoid long nights of dreams?
However, the matter between Japan is not over. It is estimated that there will be many voices from the North Korean and Chinese oppose the launch of the war to destroy the country in the south.
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a long time and said, "It took a lot of time to go back and forth in that place, so don't panic. Let's talk about it for a while."
