Gao Chi of the Ming River

After the Princess Anping left Beiping, the people of Beiping were a little bit sorry, because there were less things to talk about after dinner in the streets and alleys.

But soon, the envoys from the capital brightened the eyes of the people in Peiping.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi was drinking tea and reading a book leisurely in his yard.

In fact...he can relax like this in Songzhuyuan...

Zhu Gaochi knew that his father really doted on him, even if he walked sideways in the Songzhu courtyard, his father would not say anything.

But...Songzhuyuan is Dad's yard after all. Zhu Gaochi knows that Songzhuyuan, which seems to have a loose management, is actually not simple. It is not as good as his own Tingtaoyuan. Here, he can easily read as much as he wants. Read a book, drink tea if you want to drink tea, and sleep in a daze if you want to sleep in a daze.But in Songzhuyuan, that would not work.

Zhu Gaochi would always be involuntarily careful about his words, deeds and movements, not to touch the secrets of his father.

This is very restrained and uncomfortable, so Zhu Gaochi always looks forward to returning to Tingtao Academy as soon as possible, but yesterday, his father finally let him go.

While drinking tea leisurely, Zhiqin hurried in to report.

"My son! The envoy from the capital is here."

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback.The envoy of the capital?

Standing up leisurely, and putting on more formal clothes, Zhu Gaochi tried his best to speed up his pace towards the main hall with his short legs. He just turned around a corridor when he was hugged by a pair of big hands, with a low laugh in his ear, "Chi Son, you can't walk fast like this!"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, father?

"Father carried you there." Zhu Di said with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi was embarrassed, he was going to see the envoy from the capital.Maybe there is a purpose or something!Isn't it appropriate for his father to carry him over there?

"Father...the son wants to go by himself." Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice.

Zhu Di patted Zhu Gaochi's head, chuckled, and said, "Father, please hug you. I don't know how far you will go with your short legs. It's not good to keep the envoys from the capital waiting for a long time."

Zhu Gaochi felt a little powerless, but seeing his father's expression was very calm, but there was no doubt in his eyes, so he had no choice but to let his father carry him into the main room.

When I arrived at the main room, I looked at the incense table, his mother who was dressed very formally, and a group of concubines and maidservants.

Zhu Gaochi knew in his heart that there was an imperial decree.

After some courtesies, everyone in the Yan Palace knelt down in front of the incense table.

The old eunuch with a flattering smile read the imperial decree loudly in a shrill voice.

Zhu Gaochi knelt down with a serious face and listened.

The purpose is very simple, one is to reward.

His imperial grandfather, his father's father, rewarded many servants and eunuchs, as well as gold, silver, jewels and jade wishes, so he didn't remember them.The most important point is that his grandfather also bestowed several beauties on him.Looking at the beautiful girl kneeling respectfully in front of his mother with her head bowed, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel worried for his mother.

His mother will be fine, right?

The other one is seal.His second brother was named the King of Gaoyang County.

After the decree was read, the old eunuch looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile, and said in a thin voice, "This is the prince, right?"

Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Gaochi has seen Eunuch."

The old eunuch was terrified, "Oh, my son is so polite. This old slave dare not."

Zhu Gaochi just smiled shyly and honestly.But he sighed in his heart, you are the eunuch next to the emperor's grandfather, why don't you dare?

The old eunuch smiled again and took out a small red box from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhu Gaochi with respectful hands.

Zhu Gaochi took it with doubts in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Di who was standing beside him with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, the emperor personally ordered the servant to hand it over to you." The old eunuch said with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, for him?

On the face, he said with fear and surprise, "Grandfather gave it to grandson?!"

The old eunuch smiled and nodded, "The emperor also said that when the New Year comes, he wants the prince and the prince to go to the capital together for a gathering. He said he misses the prince."

Zhu Gaochi grinned, "I'm sorry to trouble my father-in-law to report back to Grandpa Huang, my grandson also misses Grandpa Huang very much."

The old eunuch couldn't help nodding, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my son, the old slave will definitely bring it to you."

*************

After seeing off the envoy from the capital, he heard a few words from his father.

His father's words are very simple, that is, everyone should do what they should, and don't get carried away just because of the emperor's favor!After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to let the crowd disperse, but left him and his second brother behind.

"Xu'er, starting from today, you are the king of the county, you must study hard, you know?" Zhu Di said very majesticly.

Zhu Gaochi stood aside, still holding the small red box in his hand, seeing his father's majestic appearance, Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, his father only looks like a father now!At the same time, I was puzzled, how could his father be so unserious and undignified when talking to him?

Zhu Gaoxu listened to Zhu Di's lecture timidly.It wasn't until after Zhu Di finished training that Zhu Gaoxu was asked to step down again that Zhu Gaoxu was relieved.

Out of the corner of Zhu Gaochi's eyes, he saw the lingering fear on Zhu Gaoxu's face when he left, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if only his father could be so majestic and like a father in front of him.

Zhu Gaochi subconsciously felt that if his father could be like his second brother in front of him, he felt that it would be easier for him to get along with his father...

At least, his father won't pinch his face all the time, nor will he always call him a little meat bun...

"Chi'er!" Suddenly heard a low laugh.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly came back to his senses, and was about to salute respectfully, but was suddenly picked up, and then dazed, he was hugged and sat on Zhu Di's lap.

"Father..." His heart was weak, his father would never be majestic in front of him.

"Chi'er! Aren't you curious?" Zhu Di asked with a smile, pointing to the box in Zhu Gaochi's hand.

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, grabbed the red box and shook it, and said earnestly, "Father, my son heard a sentence from the servant at the bottom a few days ago, and thought it made sense..."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Zhu Di was amused, what nonsense is this kid trying to make?

"The servant said that a fox passed by a trap. There were several mice in a cloth bag on the trap. The mice kept moving. The fox was very curious. He walked over and fell into the trap. So the servant said, curiosity You can kill a fox..." Zhu Gaochi said solemnly.

Zhu Di squinted at Zhu Gaochi, raised his hand and gently pinched Zhu Gaochi's nose, and snorted softly, "I see, that servant is you, you kid is full of nonsense!"

Zhu Gaochi smirked, raised his hand to touch his nose, his father was really shrewd.

This was actually made up by him, but Zhu Gaochi only felt that the box his grandfather gave him was not a good thing.

Since ancient times, there has never been a pie in the sky.

The relationship between his grandpa and him should not be that good, right?Give him something for no reason?

Zhu Di took the red box and lazily opened it, and said, "Don't worry, the box your grandpa gave you is just to compensate you."

Zhu Gaochi froze, and secretly glanced at his father, his father could see what was going on in his mind?

But his father looked as usual, but Zhu Gaochi felt a little uneasy, did he act too much?

His father wouldn't suspect that he, a seven-year-old baby, was too smart, would he?So smart... like a monster, right?

Zhu Di opened the box and took out a jade pendant. He narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly, but it was just a piece of jade pendant!Although it is quite expensive, how can it compare with the millennium warm jade that I worked so hard to find for this kid? !

"Chi'er, do you like it?" Zhu Di handed the jade pendant to Zhu Gaochi, and asked tentatively.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the jade pendant, pointed to the jade pendant on his chest, and said seriously, "Father, I already have the jade pendant, can I not bring the one given by the emperor?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he was satisfied and delighted, he patted Zhu Gaochi's head, and said with a smile, "When you go to the capital during the Chinese New Year, you can hide the jade pendant that father gave you inside, and wear this jade pendant outside for your grandpa." Look, you know?"

Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, it's really troublesome.But still nodded respectfully.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Di thought of those eunuchs and maids, so he said to Zhu Gaochi, "Chi'er, later, you go to the backyard to pick some eunuchs and go back. After you have chosen, tell Dad, and Dad will take a look."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned, then nodded, "Yes, my son obeys." It was just that he was puzzled, he heard that there was no shortage of people in Taoyuan.

********

When they came to the backyard, Mrs. Xu had just finished her lecture and was about to get up when she heard the servants report that the son was coming, so she sat back in her original position.

Zhu Gaochi walked into the backyard, and a group of servants and maids saluted one after another.

With a gentle smile on his face, Zhu Gaochi waved slowly and walked towards Mrs. Xu.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi walking slowly, Xu felt amused and pity in her heart, so after Zhu Gaochi approached, she asked softly, "Chi'er, why are you here?"

Zhu Gaochi bowed his hands respectfully, "The son has met the concubine mother, and if he returns to the concubine mother, the son is following the order of his father to choose the eunuchs bestowed by the palace."

Xu was taken aback for a moment, but then realized that since it was the prince's order, there must be a reason, so she smiled and beckoned Zhu Gaochi to come forward.

Zhu Gaochi stepped forward, habitually with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked among a group of eunuchs who were kneeling and bowing their heads.

Seeing a eunuch about eleven or twelve years old, Zhu Gaochi stopped and squatted down slowly, a little curious, the eunuch's face didn't look like a Central Plains person.Moreover, this eunuch gave him a very familiar feeling...

Zhu Gaochi held his cheek, thinking, wondering, could it be that he knew him very well in his previous life?

At this time, the little eunuch also secretly glanced at Zhu Gaochi, the curiosity and nervousness in his eyes was very obvious.

Zhu Gaochi caught a glimpse of the little eunuch's gaze, bent his mouth, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

The little eunuch replied in a low voice, "Slave Ma Sanbao."

Ma Sanbao?Hmm... still don't have an impression... that's all.Since we met in the previous life, there is nothing wrong with getting to know each other earlier and later in this life.

Zhu Gaochi was still squatting, and said with a smile, "Sanbao, you will follow me from now on, okay?"

Ma Sanbao was startled, and said excitedly, "Thank you Ma Sanbao, my servant!"

Zhu Gaochi waved his hands, got up slowly, habitually put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Okay, Sanbao, come with me."
