Gao Chi of the Ming River

Peking?Daqingshou Temple

The boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, sat cross-legged on the rock with a very leisurely expression, looking at the distant mountains and the blue sky.

The young man has a fair complexion, slender eyebrows and curved lips, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised. Although he is not handsome and elegant, the gentle smile on the young man's face makes people feel very comfortable and friendly.

"The sky is so blue." The young man looked up at the sky and murmured with a smile.

"My lord...it's very windy here, let's go back." Behind the boy, a tall and thin boy in eunuch uniform said softly with a cloak in his hand.

The boy turned his head and smiled gently, "It's okay! Sanbao, I'll sit down for a while and leave."

After the boy finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the sky leisurely.

The boy with the cloak had no choice but to stand behind him worriedly.

The young man looked at the sky and sighed in his heart, time is so fast.It has been six years since Zhu Gaochi reincarnated.

Hmm... I have grown taller, and my belly has shrunk a lot, but...

There doesn't seem to be much progress in this face.

Zhu Gaochi felt depressed, his father was getting more and more handsome and powerful, but he... was still like this.

But... Zhu Gaochi thought with a smile in his heart, at least he is not as fat as he was on Huangquan Road.

Standing up slowly, patted some dust on his body, habitually with his hands behind his back, Zhu Gaochi turned around slowly, and smiled warmly at Ma San, "Sanbao, let's go home."

Ma Sanbao hurriedly responded respectfully, and handed over the cloak in his hand.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hands slowly, and said with a smile, "No, it's not too windy." After saying that, he walked slowly.

Ma Sanbao was a little embarrassed, he would be unhappy if the prince saw this when he returned home.

But seeing that Zhu Gaochi had already walked away, Ma Sanbao hurriedly followed.

Today, because the monk teacher was unwell, Zhu Gaochi went up the mountain to visit. After visiting the teacher, he wanted to stop by Zhang's mansion to see Zhang Fu who had just returned from Mobei.

Unfortunately, my father refused.

The reason is that there has been unrest outside recently.

Uneasy?This Beiping... but his father's land, how can it be uneasy?

Besides... when he went out in the past few years, although Agui and Sanbao were behind him on the surface, but in private, he knew that they were not the only ones following him...

It's really strange, his father seems to dislike Zhang Fu more and more. If it wasn't for his father who would always give Zhang Fu some things to do or let Zhang Fu go to Mobei for training, he would doubt whether his father had already disliked Zhang Fu. up?

Zhu Gaochi thought about it, as if he was not happy to see him with Zhang Fu?

Hmm... Dad's thoughts are always confusing, but Zhang Fu is a good boy!

Walking leisurely all the way, finally came to the foot of the mountain, the road at the foot of the mountain was very narrow, and far away, a sedan chair came, Zhu Gaochi saw it, and walked slowly to the side of the road, letting the sedan chair go first.

Ma Sanbao was hesitant to speak at this moment, thinking about the noble status of the eldest son, although this sedan chair looks not simple, it is not a sedan chair for ordinary people, but... in the fields of Beiping, no matter how honorable he is, he is not as honorable as the eldest son.However, thinking that the son had already evaded, Ma Sanbao had no choice but to keep silent, and followed Zhu Gaochi to evade.

And Ma Sanbao, at this moment, frowned and turned his head to look at the leading sedan chair, only to see that the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, revealing a beautiful face inside.

A girl of twelve or thirteen years old?

And the girl looked at Zhu Gaochi who looked at the sky with a gentle smile on his face in a daze. When she caught sight of Ma Sanbao's surprised gaze, her face blushed and she hurriedly shrank in.

"Let's go." Zhu Gaochi said softly, walking forward.

Ma Sanbao came back to his senses, and said in a low voice, "My lord, that sedan chair just now..."

"Huh? The sedan chair? What's wrong with the sedan chair?" Zhu Gaochi asked casually, and then thought that San Bao might not be angry with him for giving way, so he smiled gently, "San Bao, the road is narrow, so it's better to let the sedan chair go first."

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's indifferent expression, Ma Sanbao opened his mouth and closed it again, that's all, the prince didn't see it anyway...

Zhu Gaochi walked into the palace, and Zhu Neng hurriedly greeted him, "My lord, you are back."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "But my father is looking for me?"

Zhu Neng hurriedly replied, "Returning to the son, the prince said that you should go to Songzhuyuan when you come back."

Zhu Gaochi nodded with a smile.Then he turned his head and said to Ma Sanbao, "Sanbao, go and see Zhang Fu, just say that I have something to do and can't go today, and I will definitely visit some other day if I have time."

Ma Sanbao respectfully responded.But I was thinking in my heart, even if you have time, my son, the prince will let you have no time...

In the past few years, Ma Sanbao could see that the prince didn't want his son and Zhang Fu to get too close.

When Zhu Gaochi walked into the study slowly, he saw his father standing in the middle of the study and frowning at him.

Zhu Gaochi bowed his hands solemnly without panic, "Son pays respects to father."

"Chi'er..."

Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands respectfully, "The son is here."

"Are you a turtle?"

"..."

"Father, my son is not a turtle..." Zhu Gaochi took a sneak peek at the increasingly handsome and handsome man, and his temper became more and more eccentric. Turtle, what are you then?"

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi with a half-smile, stretched out his hand, and pulled Zhu Gaochi who was still bowing his hands vigorously, hugged Zhu Gaochi's waist with one hand, and pinched Zhu Gaochi's face with the other hand, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Chi'er, you just now What are you talking about? It's too quiet, Dad didn't hear..."

"Father... the son is wrong." He squeezed his face again...

"Oh? What's wrong?" Zhu Di's expression was gentle and he was full of smiles, but his fingers were still gently pinching Zhu Gaochi's tender face.

"...Father, my son must come back sooner next time!"

Zhu Gaochi was worried, his father's temper was getting weirder and weirder.

But are you coming back a little late?It's not dark yet!

"Hmph!" Next time?This is the third time! !Zhu Di snorted coldly, and let go of his fingers, but still hugged Zhu Gaochi's waist tightly.

It's just going to Daqingshou Temple to see Daoyan, and it's so late!I've said it several times, don't go home late!Are you still making way for the little girl on the road? !Hmph, have you learned how to tease little girls at such a young age?

But seeing Zhu Gaochi's fair cheeks had some red marks, and his fingers were still massaging gently with disobedience, his heart ached slightly.

Zhu Gaochi stared blankly at Zhu Di who was massaging his cheeks with his head down, feeling a little uneasy. His father... isn't really angry, is he?It's not on his intention to go home late, he walks slowly, and likes to look at the gadgets sold by vendors on the side of the road, and he forgets the time when he stops and walks.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was quiet, Zhu Di became irritable. Why didn't this kid talk back? Why didn't he talk back?Sitting on the couch with Zhu Gaochi in his arms, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Why aren't you talking?"

"Father, let the son come down." Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice, lowering his head and trying to move away, but instead he was hugged even tighter.

Zhu Gaochi was a little embarrassed, he was thirteen, he was always being hugged by his father like this, isn't it?

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi, seeing his embarrassment flashing across his eyes, he stared, why is this kid so embarrassed?He is his father, what's the embarrassment? "I am your father!"

"My son knows." Zhu Gaochi looked innocent.He whispered again, "My son is thirteen..."

"Chi'er..." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, and said with a half-smile, "You are 33, what's the matter?" Isn't it his son? !

Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt powerless.Dad...the problem is not here, okay?

But seeing that his father seemed to be angry again, he quickly sat down obediently.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi, who seemed to be very well-behaved, and the irritability in his heart calmed down a little. Since noon, he has been waiting for him to come back in Songzhuyuan. This kid is lucky, and he will come back near dusk!Listening to the report of the person who secretly protected me, my heart became more irritable and angry, especially to give way to the little girl in the sedan chair...

With some reluctance in his heart, he let go of his hand, got up, and said calmly, "Chi'er, just stay at night."

Zhu Gaochi responded with a smile, "Okay." Anyway, it is common to eat and sleep with his father.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's smiling face, Zhu Di smiled strangely in his heart, your father and I have been irritable and depressed all afternoon, we have to teach ourselves a lesson no matter what!

then……

During dinner at night, Zhu Gaochi glanced around, eh?What about braised pork?What about mapo tofu?

At this time, Zhu Di leisurely picked up the fish meat with shaved bones in the bowl and put it in Zhu Gaochi's bowl, with a very loving smile.

Zhu Gaochi froze, looked at the loving smile on his father's face that made his skin crawl, and then scanned the food on the table...

Those were all dishes he didn't like!Especially bitter melon!

Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized that the anger in his father's heart is still there!I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, other people's father is getting more and more dignified and tolerant, but his father is getting more and more stingy and less dignified!

Lowering his head, he swallowed the fish slowly and sullenly.

Zhu Di was amused when he saw Zhu Gaochi eating sullenly, and immediately waved his hand to signal the servants on the side to serve the dishes.

When Zhu Gaochi finally swallowed the fish, a piece of bitter gourd, his least favorite, slowly fell into his bowl.

Zhu Gaochi stared at the bitter gourd for a while, then slowly picked it up with his chopsticks, his heart wrinkled into a bitter gourd face, he doesn't like bitter gourd.

Zhu Di grinned.

After finally swallowing the bitter gourd, a piece of fragrant braised pork fell in mid-air.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, sure enough, he knew that his father loved him!

So, Zhu Gaochi turned his head, squinted at Zhu Di with bright eyes and smiled, then turned his head, and slowly tasted the delicious braised pork.

So, Zhu Gaochi didn't know...

After Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaochi's bright smile, he lost his mind for a moment.

**********

That night.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi who was snoring and sleeping in his arms.

Six years.

Watching the seven-year-old Xiao Roubao slowly grow up into the boy he is today.

Smarter, more sensible, taller, less belly, but still the same temperament...

I always walk with my hands behind my back, like to hold a tea bowl, sit on the steps and look at the sky, leisurely like a little old man... I don’t like martial arts, I get up every time I wake up, I would rather take a walk around the grove two or three times before Stretching horses slowly, practicing boxing... He is serious in doing things and talking, obviously secretly slandering in his heart, but still pretending to be so serious on his face... But this kid always knows what he should say, what he should do, what he should do, and will always They are all so serious...

When he is angry, he always likes to be serious and polite, and when he is not convinced, he uses some unreasonable reasoning to annoy himself, but he is also afraid that he will be really angry, but he is desperate to save face... Staring at Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di's eyes are full of unconscious love Drowning, fingers slowly stroking Zhu Gaochi's cheek, thinking in his heart, this kid... how good it would be if he could just stay by his side forever like this?
