Gao Chi of the Ming River

After packing his luggage, Zhu Gaochi took the hands of his two younger brothers and walked to the carriage.

Today, they will go to the capital with the emissary of the capital.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were still children at heart, they chattered excitedly as soon as they got into the carriage.

Talking about the bustling and fun places in the capital, and those playmates who used to be in the capital.

Zhu Gaochi smiled gently, listening to them talking, and occasionally interjecting a few words.

"Brother, why didn't you bring Bai Tuanzi with you?" Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and asked, regretfully saying, "Bai Tuanzi is so fun."

Zhu Gaochi smiled gently, "Second brother, Bai Tuanzi is too naughty, and he is so playful, if he gets caught in the capital, he will be in trouble..."

Zhu Gaosui pouted, "It won't cause trouble, why don't we keep an eye on it?"

Zhu Gaochi just smiled, lowered his head, and found in his sleeves the gadgets he bought with Zhang Fu Sanbao and the others while shopping, and said with a smile, "Okay, when we come back from Peiping, we can play with Baituanzi, come on, let's Now let's play this."

*********

After playing with his two younger brothers for a while, seeing that they were sleepy, he coaxed them to sleep, and when they fell asleep, Zhu Gaochi gently got out of the carriage.

Although a while ago because the old man gave him a white-haired fox and he had some troubles with him, children will hold grudges and have a lot of forgetfulness. Zhu Gaochi just took them for a stroll in the street secretly, and let the white-haired fox accompany them After playing, they soon forgot about the fact that the father only gave the elder brother a fox.

Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, when his father came back, he had to gently remind him that although the two younger brothers are still young, he should pay attention and not focus on himself.

Zhu Gaochi returned to his carriage, and Zhiqin quickly brought a cup of tea.

Zhu Gaochi took it, thinking that he will enter the capital in a few days, what will happen then?

For me who lost my memory, the capital city is very strange.

Although in the past few days, I have learned a lot from my concubine and Zhiqinkou, for example, I have two uncles, the eldest uncle Xu Huizu, the second uncle Xu Zengshou, and two aunts, all married, and Or my aunt... But they should not be in the capital now.

I don't know if the eldest uncle and the second uncle are there.

There are relatives, but distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, his father took him and his mother and concubine to the capital just a few days after he was ordered to go on an expedition. This kind of restraint is so obvious, maybe his relatives will stay away from him right now?

Zhu Gaochi put down the tea bowl, leaned his head, and looked at the green hills outside the carriage window. He couldn't help but think of his father. Since he received the letter that day, he has never received a letter since they went out. Dad knows that there is a capital city. The envoy is here, so I have some scruples, or... what's going on on the battlefield?

Zhiqin watched Zhu Gaochi staring out of the window in a daze, with a trace of worry flashing across his brows and eyes.

When Zhu Gaochi was in a daze, Ma Sanbao reported softly from outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Hong is asking to see you."

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses, his thin eyebrows frowned slightly, Eunuch Hong?The eunuch delivering the decree?Uh... what are you doing here to see me?With a sigh in my heart, I can go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do, right?

On the face, Zhu Gaochi smiled gently, "Please come in, Eunuch Hong."

The thin-faced eunuch in his fifties smiled obsequiously, got into the carriage, and said in a thin voice, "Hey, look at our son, how blessed he is to grow up, our emperor has been talking about him. My son, one look at you and you will know how much our lord loves you."

luck?Zhu Gaochi felt a little embarrassed, he's not a woman...why don't you say he's handsome, but say he's lucky? ?

Zhu Gaochi had a naive smile on his face. As soon as this smile appeared, Zhiqin who was about to pour tea froze, and Sanbao turned his head silently.

Why is Shizi smiling like a fool? ?

"Eunuch Hong, you don't know, in fact... my father always said that I am not like him..."

This is real!He really doesn't look like his father!

"Father, he took me hunting last time... I was driven into a tree by wolves..."

It's also true...

"Later...the father said I was useless..."

This is still true, his father has been scolding him for being blinded by a fox, it's useless @#￥%......

Eunuch Hong looked at Zhu Gaochi who was dazed with a foolish smile, and said with a sneer, "Your son is still young. When he gets older, he won't be able to. He is so smart that he will definitely not lose to the lord. The so-called tiger father is innocent." Dog..."

Zhu Gaochi smiled foolishly.

"My lord, does your lord like hunting very much?" Eunuch Hong asked with a flattering smile.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and then said blankly, "My father likes hunting very much, but my father only took me there once..."

Zhiqin sat on the side, heard this, couldn't help lowering her head, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, the prince seemed to be half coaxing and half threatening that time, so you are willing to go...

Eunuch Hong looked at Zhu Gaochi's dazed and stupid face, and coughed lightly, "Ahem, son, well, you are still young, when you grow up, son, it will be different..."

Zhu Gaochi giggled silly.

Eunuch Hong coughed twice, and changed the subject again, "What do you usually do in Prince Yan's Mansion?"

"It's just... reading, um, writing, but I can't write well... my father always scolded me for being too ugly!" Zhu Gaochi looked aggrieved.

This is still true... His father always dislikes his calligraphy, but every time he dislikes it, the next day, he can always hear from Teacher Monk how his father proudly told Teacher Monk that his calligraphy It's getting better and better!It really is his son!

Eunuch Hong showed a forced smile, and a trace of contempt flashed across his brows and eyes.

Zhu Gaochi saw it and smiled.

"My son is so lively and intelligent, he must be very naughty on weekdays, right?" Eunuch Hong asked flatteringly.

Zhu Gaochi still had a naive smile on his face, and said embarrassedly, "Well... Eunuch Hong, let me tell you, don't tell my father."

"The slave must not tell." Eunuch Hong's eyes lit up, and his smile became even more obsequious.

"I, I secretly went to my father's study..." Zhu Gaochi whispered.

Zhiqin was taken aback, Ma Sanbao was taken aback, the two looked at each other, and turned away at the same time.

The prince will be called by the prince to stay overnight every two or three days. Don't you often go to the study or something?

Eunuch Hong's eyes brightened even more. "oh?"

"But there is nothing in the father's study, it's not fun..." Zhu Gaochi said with a look of disgust.

"My lord, isn't the study just for books, pens and ink?" Eunuch Hong coaxed.

"Yes, but there is nothing in the father's study except for "Grandson" and "University", not even paintings..." Zhu Gaochi said with a very naive smile.

"My son, you are so naughty...hehe..." Eunuch Hong laughed dryly in disappointment, said a few more obedient words, and hurried out of the carriage.

After Eunuch Hong got out of the carriage, Zhu Gaochi smiled slowly.

Want to get some words out of his mouth?

Zhu Gaochi picked up the tea bowl and tasted it leisurely and very comfortably.

It's a pity...he is not a real seven-year-old...

However, who meant this statement?

Grandpa Huang?or who?

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

Only two days away from the capital.

It was night, Zhu Gaochi kicked off the quilt, turned over, and fell asleep snoring.

Mobei at the same time...

Zhu Di sat in the middle army of the barracks, staring at the note in his hand, and sneered again and again.

Actually talking to a seven-year-old child? !

Also sent people to investigate at night into Yan Wang's mansion where only servants were left to guard? !

His father is really "powerful"! !

"My lord?" Zhang Yu, who came in hurriedly, saw that Zhu Di was exuding a cold and angry aura, he couldn't help but pause, bowed down and cupped his hands respectfully, and opened his mouth cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Di came back to his senses, restrained his breath, crumpled the note into a ball, and asked lightly.

"My lord, everything has been arranged."

"Yeah!" Zhu Di responded lightly.Get up, put the note on the candle and burn it to ashes.Staring at the note that had turned into ashes, my heart couldn't help but jump to that kid with a gentle smile and always slow...

Chi'er, Dad will be back soon!

***********

On this day, Zhu Gaochi finally arrived in the capital.

Looking at the grand and majestic palace in front of him, Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart. From this day on, he will bid farewell to the leisurely and free days.

Mrs. Xu got out of the carriage, sighed softly, and turned to look at Zhu Gaochi, who was habitually carrying his hands behind him, feeling a little relieved, thinking that this child has always been well-behaved, and he took care of his two younger brothers with all his heart and helped him share the burden. a lot...

"Chi'er... come here..." Xu called softly.

Zhu Gaochi smiled innocently, turned his head and led Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui who couldn't stop looking around after getting out of the car, and walked towards Xu.

After passing through many halls, we finally arrived at Fengxian Hall.

After waiting outside the temple for a while, he was called in.

Zhu Gaochi held the hands of his two younger brothers, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looking respectful and cowardly.

Until he kowtowed and saluted, he heard a hearty laughter, "Okay! Get up. Gao Chi, come here and show Grandpa Huang, have you grown taller?"

Zhu Gaochi raised his head slowly, and saw an old man in his 60s looking at him with a smile. Although his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were very soft.

Zhu Gaochi grinned innocently.

"Pfft..." Suddenly, a voice came with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi turned his head to look, and saw a handsome boy about thirteen or fourteen years old standing at the bottom, and said to the old man, "Grandfather, do you think brother Gaochi looks like a steamed bun?"

Zhu Gaochi froze, steamed buns? ? ?

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then fixedly looked at Zhu Gaochi with a sluggish face for a while, and burst out laughing, "Haha...it really looks like that! Cough cough, Yun Wen, you can't say that, you know?" The old man laughed He smiled, then said seriously, but there was still a smile in his eyes.He went forward and pulled Zhu Gaochi up, patted Zhu Gaochi's head, and asked with a smile, "Gaochi! Why haven't you grown taller since I haven't seen you for half a year?"

Zhu Gaochi laughed dryly, and said, "Grandson will work hard to practice martial arts with the master, and strive to grow taller as soon as possible."

The handsome young man interjected again at this time, "I think you should stop growing taller, it's pretty good just like this."

Although the tone was very innocent, but... Zhu Gaochi could still hear a strong mockery from the tone.

Strange, did Zhu Yunqi have any grudge against him or something?Hmm... Isn't he the eldest grandson of the emperor?Could it be because of his father?

But on the surface, Zhu Gaochi just lowered his head slightly, and said innocently and aggrieved in a voice that only the old man could hear, "My father said that if I don't grow taller, I will sell me..."

This is absolutely true!His father poked his belly one night and said viciously, "Little Roubao, if you dare to eat enough, you won't grow taller. If you don't grow taller, dad will sell you!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily, patted Zhu Gaochi's head, and pretended to be annoyed, "He dares?! Don't worry! With Grandpa Huang here, if your father dares to sell you, Grandpa Huang will sell him!"

Zhu Gaochi said seriously, "Grandpa Huang can't sell the father, if you sell the father, Chi'er will have no father."

The old man smiled gratifiedly, "Well, yes, he is a filial child."

"Grandpa Huang! Look, Fourth Aunt and Brother Gao Chi are also tired, why don't you let them go down to rest first." At this time, the young man interrupted with a smile.

"Well, Yun Wen is still careful." The old man gave the young man a very satisfied and appreciative look.

Although the young man had a modest face, Zhu Gaochi could still see his complacency from the young man's eyebrows.

Zhu Gaochi had a naive smile on his face, but he was very emotional in his heart, this Zhu Yunwen is still a child with a temper.Are you serious about being a kid like yourself?

After some ceremonies, Zhu Gaochi walked out of the Fengxian Hall, looked back at the very magnificent palace, and sighed in his heart, is this his imperial grandfather?Hey, it's no different from the old people in ordinary people, they will be biased, and the bias is so obvious...Then Zhu Yunwen interjected several times and didn't blame a word...They all laughed at themselves as steamed buns and just said a few words...Steamed buns?Hmph, he would rather be told by his father a hundred times about "Little Meat Bun" than hear a sentence from Zhu Yunqi!
