Gao Chi of the Ming River

Zhu Gaochi looked at the scenery slowly all the way back to Tingtao Courtyard.

Zhiqin has been waiting at the door for a long time.As soon as he saw Zhu Gaochi, he rushed over immediately. Zhu Gaochi was startled, and slowly stopped, seeing Zhiqin kneeling in front of him with teary eyes, he couldn't help tilting his head and asking gently, "Zhiqin, what wronged you?"

Zhiqin froze for a moment, and continued to burst into tears, "Wuuuuu... I heard that the prince was injured, how old are you, sir, how can you... you can do it?"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Zhiqin, it has nothing to do with my age, the person who hurt me is not an ordinary person, so she doesn't understand these things, Zhiqin, get up."

Zhiqin stood up, then lowered her voice indignantly, "Whether ordinary or not, how could this be so?!"

Zhu Gaochi squinted his eyes and smiled. Although this Zhiqin is kind-hearted and clever, he seems to be a little short-sighted. The other party is a princess, how can he be so blatant?I won't say any more.Continue to walk forward, intending to go to the study.

But at this time, Zhiqin rushed over again, and hurriedly said, "My lord, Master Daoyan has arrived."

Zhu Gaochi paused, looked up at the sky, wondering, it's still early, isn't it?Why are you here so early?

In the study, Dao Yan sat upright with his eyes closed.When Zhu Gaochi entered the door, he saw Daoyan's serene appearance, and felt a little emotional, such a monk can't see that kind of ambition and fanaticism at the moment.

"The prince is here?" Dao Yan opened his eyes and smiled slightly.

Zhu Gaochi bowed his hands respectfully, "The student has met the teacher."

Dao Yan got up, and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, you are very polite."

After chatting a few gossips with each other, Zhu Gaochi respectfully handed over the literary theory written last night that was not a literary theory.

Dao Yan took it, first glanced at it, smiled slightly, raised his head and said to Zhu Gaochi, "It seems that Shizi still needs to practice his calligraphy."

Zhu Gaochi blushed.

Dao Yan didn't say any more, and looked at Zhu Gaochi's literary theory intently, smiling and nodding while watching.

After finishing reading, Dao Yan turned to Zhu Gaochi and said, "Your Majesty is really smart!" He smiled and admired, but he was surprised and happy at the same time. It is very rare for His Majesty to think about the land issue.The prince is considered a successor!

Zhu Gaochi pretended to smile shyly, but he was relieved. Fortunately, fortunately, Dao Yan was not very surprised or surprised. It seems that he pretended to be very successful.

He babbled a few more words.Dao Yan left a copybook, asking Zhu Gaochi to copy the big characters today, and to start formal lectures tomorrow.

After seeing off Daoyan, Zhu Gaochi turned to the study and stared at the copybook in front of him, which was very well-behaved.

Frowning, Zhu Gaochi knew that this was because Dao Yan wanted to practice the basic fonts first.

Glancing at last night's literary theory on the side of my desk, those words... are indeed incomparable with copybooks.

Zhu Gaochi rolled up his sleeves and began to copy them intently.

This copying arrived at dusk in the afternoon.

When Zhiqin came in with snacks and called him softly, he came back to his senses, only this time he realized that his hands were sore and his back hurt.

The chubby little hand beat his right hand. When Zhiqin saw it, he hurried forward to give Zhu Gaochi a massage, but Zhu Gaochi just waved his hand, then picked up a piece of almond cake and took a bite, chewing and swallowing slowly, and then, With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the study slowly.

When I came to the courtyard, I looked at the sky. At dusk, the sky was full of colorful clouds.

After a moment of interest, Zhu Gaochi wandered out of the courtyard.

Seeing Agui, he hastily followed.

When he came to the small garden outside Tingtao Courtyard, Zhu Gaochi had just sat down on the stone chair in the pavilion when he heard a voice that seemed very happy, "Chi'er!"

Zhu Gaochi's body trembled slightly, Chi'er?

Slowly turning his head to look over, he saw that Princess Anping walking quickly with a cheerful face.

Zhu Gaochi froze, wondering if he should find an excuse to avoid it?

But Anping had already walked to his side quickly, seemed to have a bright smile, and then sat down beside him.

Zhu Gaochi moved away quietly.

Then he stood up, cupped his hands respectfully, with a solemn expression on his face, "Zhu Gaochi has seen the princess."

Anping was startled, and then a trace of disgust flashed across his brows and eyes. Although it was very fast, Zhu Gaochi still saw it.

"Ah, you are the fourth brother's son, you are my nephew, why are you being so polite! Come on, come on! Sit down quickly. My little aunt has something fun for you."

After all, Anping smiled mysteriously, wanting to pull Zhu Gaochi to sit down.Then he glanced at Agui again, and waved impatiently, "Go, go down!"

Agui stood there with a blank face, not moving.

When Anping saw it, he was annoyed, and just about to get angry, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly got up and said to Agui, "Agui, you go back first."

Agui hesitated, but seeing Zhu Gaochi's firm eyes, he had no choice but to back down.

Anping said angrily, "How dare a servant not listen to this princess!"

Zhu Gaochi was a little annoyed, that's my servant of Prince Yan's mansion!Not your servant!Also, you are really scary...

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly retreated, bowed his hands respectfully, "I dare not bother my aunt." After saying that, he slowly took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the stone chair opposite Anping.

Anping withdrew his hand somewhat disconsolately, and then said cheerfully, "Come on, Chi'er, this is a gift from my aunt."

After all, I handed over a thing made of cloth that looked like a dog, but didn't look like a dog...

Zhu Gaochi stared at the thing in his hand for a while, but still couldn't see anything, raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, this is..."

Anping seemed very proud, "This is Pleasant Goat!"

Zhu Gaochi was at a loss, Pleasant Goat?What it is?A sheep named Pleasant Goat?

Anping, however, became excited, and chattered endlessly, "This is a story about a Pleasant Goat and a Big Big Wolf... It is said that there used to be a grassland called Qingqing Grassland..."

Seeing Anping's mouth opening and closing, Zhu Gaochi was at a loss.Then... he wanted to sleep very much.

Trying to suppress my drowsiness, I finally listened to Anping's speech.

Anping asked him, do you have any ideas?Looking at Zhu Gaochi with an expectant expression.

Zhu Gaochi was at a loss, but still said seriously, "Auntie, sheep, only white sheep and wolves are very vicious, and those who can speak are not sheep and wolves, but monsters. Auntie, what are you doing?" A monster story?"

Anping's face suddenly turned blue, as if he wanted to get angry.But he endured it again.

Zhu Gaochi was worried. In fact...he really wanted to trick the princess into telling a good story, but...he really couldn't say it.

"By the way, Chi'er, Prince Yan's Mansion is so big, have you visited it yet?" Anping coaxed coaxingly.

Zhu Gaochi's heart shuddered, what did the princess ask this question in such a tone as if coaxing a child?

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, and said solemnly, "Chi'er has passed by."

"Have you been to the empty garden in the backyard?" Anping continued to ask inducing.

Zhu Gaochi's heart sank, that Kong Yuanzi was the place where his father trained his subordinates... He only knew it by passing by by chance.It seems that the only people in Yanwang Mansion who know about it are people from Songzhuyuan... because the empty garden is hidden behind the wooden door of the ancestral hall, a place that is hard to be noticed.

Shaking his head slowly, pretending to be dazed, "Auntie, there is no empty garden in Prince Yan's Mansion."

Anping didn't seem to believe it, and his voice raised a lot, "Why not?! You kid can't lie."

Zhu Gaochi's expression became more dazed and dull, "Auntie, really not."

Anping seemed to be angry, stood up, and stomped his feet fiercely, "It's really wasted so much!"

After that, he turned around angrily.

Zhu Gaochi watched Anping walk away, then turned around slowly, put his hands behind his back, called Agui who had not gone far and hid behind the tree, and walked towards Songzhuyuan.

Wait to enter Songzhuyuan.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have seen the prince."

Zhu Gaochi nodded with a smile, "Master Zhang is very polite. Is my father here?"

"My lord is dealing with important matters in the study. Is your son busy? Why don't you let me know?" Zhang Yu said respectfully.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slowly, and said gently, "Master Zhang, I'll just wait here, don't worry. Go if you have something to do."

Zhang Yu thought for a while, and the prince's confession was urgent, so he bowed his hands and bowed respectfully and withdrew.

There are very few people in Shochikuin.In daily life, Zhu Di almost does everything by himself.

Zhu Gaochi asked Agui to withdraw from Songzhuyuan first.After all, this place is very sensitive, but it's where his father handles affairs.

Then, he walked to the side hall by himself.He poured himself a bowl of tea, walked out of the small hall, sat on the steps facing the study, and drank it slowly.While thinking about that strange Princess Anping asking what Kong Yuanzi is doing?

And Zhu Di, who had just finished dealing with things in the study, stood up and accidentally glanced at Zhu Gaochi outside, and couldn't help smiling.

Why did this kid come here?
