Gao Chi of the Ming River

Zhu Gaochi's heart trembled, staring at his father's deep eyes with a little distress and regret, he couldn't help lowering his head, and squeezed the jade pendant in his hand.

Actually... losing his temper or something, he's not a real kid!He wouldn't hate his father just because his father suspected that he dropped his little clay figurine and slapped him, so there was really no temper tantrum or anything like that!

He... It's just that he doesn't want to get too close to his father.

"Chi'er!" Seeing that Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and didn't reply for a long time, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning, feeling a little irritable.But still endured and said softly, "Why don't you talk?"

Listening to his father trying to speak softly, Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, and really wanted to tell his father that he didn't lose his temper, he really didn't lose his temper.But... If he said that, his father must think that he was still losing his temper.

But it was also strange, hearing his father speak like this, the suffocation in his heart dissipated a lot.

"Father..." Zhu Gaochi whispered.

"Huh?" Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then his irritability dissipated, he couldn't help but smile, and finally he was willing to call him daddy?

this kid!

"This...it's warm and comfortable..." Zhu Gaochi said dryly, his expression still a little awkward.

But Zhu Di cheered up and smiled even bigger. He even sat on the table himself, hugged Zhu Gaochi on his lap, and explained softly, "The old monk Daoyan said that you'd better wear a jade pendant. Daddy called down." The person from the school found a few pieces of jade, but they didn't meet his expectations. The person who just left was one of my father's subordinates, named Li Si. He was quite capable. He found this thousand-year-old warm jade, Chi'er, you have to take this jade pendant with you. , you can’t take it off at will, you know?”

Zhu Gaochi looked up at the smile on his father's face, nodded slightly, and the sullenness in his heart dissipated a little.He sighed in his heart, if his father wasn't so suspicious, it would be great.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi's well-behaved appearance, although he was obviously still a little cautious, but the feeling of respect and alienation was finally less, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's really not easy to coax this kid!

The father and son chatted for a while, and Zhu Di left with Zhu Gaochi in his arms.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Gaochi thought that it was time to go back to Tingtao Courtyard. Since his father had decided that he would not lose his temper, he should let him go.

He wanted to salute and leave, but Zhu Di frowned and hugged him, and said displeasedly, "Didn't you agree to be with Dad today?"

Zhu Gaochi's heart froze, didn't he?Daddy Seriously?

"But... the son is afraid of disturbing Daddy's work..." Zhu Gaochi said hesitantly.Feeling worried, staying with my father all day is really stressful.

And...that Princess Anping is not restless at all, his father should be busy with it.

Zhu Di slowed down his expression, patted Zhu Gaochi's head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, dad is not busy today."

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, his heart suddenly felt bitter. Isn't his father busy?But he really wanted his father to be busy, otherwise he would have to meet his father's eyes...

Zhu Gaochi was worried, but when he saw the small desk his father placed in the study, Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, especially... there was a small clay figurine in a small wooden box on the small desk.

This little clay figurine is [-]% similar to himself, but with a small bump on his forehead.

Zhu Gaochi turned to look at his father, but his father put him down with a smile, patted his head, and smiled jokingly, "The clay figurine is for you to see, not for you."

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly in his heart, sure enough.

But then, his father said in a low voice, "I will find a way to repair the little clay figurine that was broken yesterday."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly, his eyes curved, and he grinned, "Father, it's fine."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi who finally smiled at him, feeling a little happy, but also a little sour, because of the clear red mark on Zhu Gaochi's face.

The big palm couldn't help but put it on Zhu Gaochi's head again, rubbed it, and thought to himself, never hit this kid again when he gets angry!

This kid's flesh is too tender!

In Songzhu Courtyard, Zhu Gaochi carefully copied the big characters.Zhu Di was reading a book on one side of the couch, occasionally looking up at Zhu Gaochi's serious face, he couldn't help but smile.

But other places in Yanwang Mansion are a bit lively at this time.

Mrs. Xu in the Fanghua Courtyard heard the report from the old woman who was kneeling down, crying, frowned, and said with a rather indifferent expression, "Since the princess wants to punish Fang girl, it must be Fang girl who did something wrong, princess It is the master, Fang Yatou is a servant, and you are also the servant of the princess. How can a slave sue the master?! Don’t forget, you signed the contract of death when you signed into the palace! Thinking of you as Fang Yatou’s mother, looking at your daughter Being punished, you feel distressed, I can understand, I will spare you this time, someone will drag her down to me and beat her ten times!"

Seeing the old lady retreat, Mrs. Xu said coldly again, "If anyone from the Fragrant House comes back from now on, I will expel them all!"

After responding left and right, Xu slowly got up and walked to the inner room.

After entering the inner room, Mrs. Xu ordered in a low voice, "Tell the maids who take care of the son and the two young masters to watch the yard!"

After a pause, he asked in a low voice, "Have the lord and the prince come back?"

"If you go back to the princess, the prince and the prince have already returned, and they are now in Songzhuyuan."

Mrs. Xu was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "When you came back, did the prince hold the son?"

"The lord came back with his son in his arms."

Only then did Xu breathe a sigh of relief, and her stern expression eased a little.I thought to myself, it seems that the prince is not angry with Chi'er anymore.

***********

After writing big characters for a while, Zhu Gaochi felt sleepy.

The chubby rubbed his eyes with his hands, but Zhu Gaochi, who had already started to get confused, didn't know that the chubby hand rubbing his eyes was holding a brush stained with ink.

Xiaopang rubbed his hand, swung the brush horizontally, and turned it, a small black spot appeared on his white and tender face.

He rubbed his eyes, and then tried to open them again, but he was too sleepy, so the eyes that had been opened with great difficulty, slowly closed, and his head was just a little bit, ah!As soon as I woke up subconsciously, my eyes opened, but then they slowly closed again... So, the head was a little bit...

So, when Zhu Di accidentally raised his head to look at Zhu Gaochi again, he saw Zhu Gaochi dozing off with black spots all over his face with his eyes closed, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zhu Gaochi was awakened by Zhu Di's laughter, looked up in a daze, and rubbed his eyes with the hand holding the brush, "Father?"

While smiling, Zhu Di got up and walked towards Zhu Gaochi, wiped off the ink on Zhu Gaochi's face with his sleeve indifferently, and said with a low smile, "Chi'er is sleepy? If you are sleepy, go to sleep."

Zhu Gaochi replied in a daze, and let his father carry him into the bedroom separated by a screen behind the study.

After lying on the bed for a while, Zhu Gaochi fell asleep.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi's sleepy little face, and the dark circles under his eyes that were faintly visible after wiping off the ink on his face, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

this kid...

Why did you suddenly lose your temper with yourself?Zhu Di thought about it carefully, that day, when Kong Yuanzi was mentioned, he was annoyed at Anping's audacity, and couldn't help feeling a little angry, and then...he also doubted it.

He knew that Chi'er was smart, and that Chi'er liked to wander around slowly after being injured last time, including passing by the empty garden by chance.

At that time, he didn't think much of it, thinking that although this kid was smart, he was only seven years old after all, and children were curious by nature, so it was okay to bump into them by chance while wandering around, not to mention, this kid was always quiet and would not talk too much.

But when this kid came to tell himself that Anping asked Kong Yuanzi about it, he couldn't help but doubt it!

Because this kid has always been respectful to him and not close enough, if it wasn't for some special things, such as Agui, he would never come to him!

So, this kid did it on purpose, and this kid doesn't know what Kong Yuanzi is, does he? !

So...he couldn't help but wonder.

And this kid must have found himself suspicious, so he alienated himself even more?

He guessed, is that the truth?

But he couldn't help being funny, no matter how smart this kid is, he wouldn't know what Kong Yuanzi was doing, would he?

Maybe this kid lost his temper because Min Ke realized that he was a little annoyed with him that day?

I couldn't help but raise my hand to gently stroke the cheek with the red mark, thinking of the unicorn that Dao Yan said, but maybe... this kid is really a unicorn, so...so smart?

However, at this moment in his heart, he would rather this kid be a little more stupid, stay a little longer, preferably not a unicorn, so that... the disaster that Dao Yan said can be far away from this kid...

**********

When Zhu Gaochi woke up in a daze, he heard a low voice from outside: "Anping! Stop talking nonsense!" Is it Dad?Is he talking to that Anping?

"Fourth brother! Anping didn't talk nonsense! What Anping said was entrusted to me by Avalokitesvara in her dream! Big brother will definitely die! You will definitely become emperor!" Emperor? !It's over!This woman is crazy!

"Enough!! Come here, take the princess back! The princess is sick, please take care of me carefully!" The old man's voice was so calm, he must be angry...

"No! I'm not sick, what I said is true! Fourth brother, listen to me!" The emperor said everything, and he said he was not sick?Does this woman have a grudge against his father?Such a different way to harm his father?

"My lord?" Is it Zhang Yu?

"Princess sent back?" Dad's voice is still so calm?Hmm... there is something inside!

"Yes, my lord. Did Eunuch Zhang and the court ladies beside the princess hear what the princess said just now?" What do you mean?

"Did the princess tell Kong Yuanzi?" Kong Yuanzi? !Oops!

"The princess has spoken."

"Very well, then tell everyone to prepare well." Dad seemed to sneer?

Sure enough, there is an inside story!Is Dad preparing something?

Hearing footsteps suddenly, Zhu Gaochi hastily closed his eyes.

After a long while, the sound of footsteps gradually approached, as if someone was sitting down by the bed, and then, something cool was applied to his face, ointment?But, his face is not injured, oh, forgot, the five finger prints will disappear in two days...

"Chi'er..." Dad?Dad's voice is a little hoarse, what's wrong?

"Chi'er, dad will never hit you again..."
