Gao Chi of the Ming River

From the end of May in Peking, the weather starts to get hotter.

Zhu Gaochi sat under the big tree, slowly shaking his fan with slender brows, worried, it's not June yet, the weather is so hot? ?

Ma Sanbao at the side waved his fan, and seeing Zhu Gaochi's frowning face, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if you have patience, you can go to Qingliang Villa when the prince comes back."

Qingliang Villa?Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, he really wanted to go, but he was thinking about what Teacher Monk said when he came today...

After regaining his senses, Zhu Gaochi smiled gently, "Father still has a lot of things to take care of. Political affairs are important. You can go to Qingliang Villa anytime."

Nowadays, Dad's business is the most important thing, such as avoiding the summer heat. Although he is afraid of heat, this heat is nothing compared to Dad's business.

But... what is Dad going to do?What happened in the capital?

Ma Sanbao was waving his fan, thinking in his heart, the prince would take his son to Qingliang Villa to escape the summer heat in the past few years, it was like this almost every year, will it be the same this year?

The prince loves the prince so much, Ma Sanbao remembers that last year he spent the night with the prince in the Songzhuyuan, kept watch at night, saw the prince got up and fanned the prince for two hours, until the prince stopped turning over, fell into a deep sleep, and woke up. The little snoring stopped.

At that time, Ma Sanbao saw that the prince was sweating naked with his upper body...

When Zhu Gaochi was thinking about what method his father might take, he saw Qin coming over in a hurry, saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness welcomes you."

Dad?Zhu Gaochi smiled gently, "Understood." Then he got up leisurely, walked outside with his hands behind his back.

Walking all the way, try to choose the corridors, Zhu Gaochi avoided the scorching sunlight all the way, turned around several corridors, and two tall and strong children about ten years old came running from a distance.

Two children shouted, "Brother! Brother!"

Zhu Gaochi stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at the running child with a smile, "A Xu, A Sui..."

"Brother! We want to go to Qingliang Mountain Villa!" When they got closer, the two children said in unison.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled gently, "I can't do it recently. My father is very busy recently, so we can talk about it after my father has finished his busy work."

One of the taller and stronger children, that is, Zhu Gaoxu curled his lips and said, "No matter how busy the father is, as long as the brother tells me, the father will definitely take us. Brother, go and tell the father."

"That's right! Brother, we're dying of heat!" Zhu Gaosui yelled, holding Zhu Gaochi's hand.

Zhu Gaochi sighed inwardly, he is hot too!But... Dad's big event is probably about to start, and he doesn't want to distract him with these feather cork matters.

Zhu Gaochi said with a gentle smile, "Axu, have you finished reading the book my brother handed you yesterday?"

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment.

Zhu Gaochi smiled again and turned his head to look at Zhu Gaosui who started to retreat, "Ah Sui, have you copied the words my brother gave you a few days ago?"

Zhu Gaosui smiled mischievously.

Zhu Gaochi put his hands behind his back, pretending to be puzzled, "Ah, it's strange, I don't know who told me a few days ago that he would definitely read the book and copy the words? Manly man, once you say something, it's hard to follow. Ah Xu, you Say, what does this sentence mean?" Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and asked with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice with a somewhat awkward expression, "It's just that you have promised others, you must do it..."

Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui with a smile, until both of them lowered their heads, Zhu Gaochi said slowly, "Brother knows, it's very hot today...but father is busy recently, when father is done, brother will follow My father said, I beg my father to take us to the mountain to escape the summer heat. However, you must do what you promised your brother..."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui immediately raised their heads and said excitedly, "Thank you brother!"

Seeing the two running away, Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, really, complaining about the hot weather and running away?Hey... kid, you are really energetic.

Ma Sanbao looked at the backs of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, thinking in his heart, the son really has a way, the two young masters of the palace have always been stubborn and willful, only the prince and the son can make them obedient...

Zhu Gaochi walked slowly into Songzhuyuan, seeing Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng walking out in a hurry, he stopped with a gentle smile.

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng hurriedly cupped their hands respectfully, "I pay my respects, Your Majesty."

"You two are very polite. Is the father there?" Zhu Gaochi asked with a smile.

Zhang Yu said respectfully, "Returning to the son, the prince is in the study."

Zhu Gaochi nodded with a smile, then walked towards the inside.

Zhang Yu watched Zhu Gaochi's back go away, turned around and whispered to Zhu Neng, "The prince is only 13 years old, the prince really intends to entrust such an important matter to the prince?"

Zhu Neng replied in a low voice, "Don't underestimate the son."

Zhang Yu hesitated to speak.

When Zhu Gaochi walked into the study, he saw his father was concentrating on the letter.

Zhu Gaochi paused, stood by the door and looked at his father's focused face, and felt emotional again, his father really has a good-looking face, but... why doesn't his father look old at all?

"Chi'er?" When Zhu Di put down the letter and looked up, he saw Zhu Gaochi standing by the door staring at him in a daze. He couldn't help laughing, so he got up and called out.

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses, feeling a little embarrassed, seeing his father fascinated?shame!He saluted solemnly, "Son has met father."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled Zhu Gaochi closer, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off Zhu Gaochi's forehead, and said teasingly, "Dad, if you continue to sweat, you will drain all the juice from the little meat bun!"

Zhu Gaochi looked up, looked at the playful smile on his father's face, and whispered, "My son doesn't want to either."

Zhu Di paused, pinched Zhu Gaochi's face lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, we will go to Qingliang Villa."

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, and then said seriously, "Father, it doesn't matter if it's hot. Father's business matters."

"It's okay, dad has his own sense of propriety." Zhu Di said lightly.He raised his hand and rubbed Zhu Gaochi's head again, frowning. "Seeing that you are sweating all over, don't you think it smells bad? Hurry up and wash it. Stay in Songzhuyuan at night."

***********

It was night, Zhu Gaochi was lying on the bed, seeing his father still sitting on the couch reading letters, couldn't help sitting up, "Father..."

Zhu Di turned his head, "Huh?"

"Father, aren't you still asleep?" It's already three o'clock...

Zhu Di got up, walked to the bed, patted Zhu Gaochi's head, smiled slightly, and said fondly, "Go to sleep first, Dad will fall asleep after reading the letter."

Zhu Gaochi looked up at his father's face which was still in good spirits for a long while, then slowly lay down, feeling puzzled, his father was very strange recently, he often let him stay in Songzhuyuan, but he always let himself go to bed first at night and wake up in the morning I don't hold him like I used to.

Maybe it's... too many things have happened recently.Zhu Gaochi was thinking in a daze, and after a while, he started snoring.

Zhu Di only put down the letter he had read more than a dozen times when he heard the sound of Xiao Hulu.Slowly got up, walked to the bed, stared at Zhu Gaochi for a while, then slowly lay down on the bed, carefully embraced Zhu Gaochi, and covered the kicked quilt again.

Quietly staring at Zhu Gaochi who was snoring in his arms with a contented smile on his face, after a while, Zhu Di had a wry smile on his face, raised his hand and gently poked Zhu Gaochi's tender cheek, with a low voice that was almost pampering and helpless Sounded, "You..."

In the quiet space, a soft sigh sounded.

"What should Daddy do to you?"

*********

The next day, the common people in Beiping looked curiously at the always low-key Yanwang Mansion.

A few carriages and more than [-] guards.

The young prince who always had a gentle smile on his face, who liked to go shopping near the Prince Yan's mansion, and paid money seriously when he bought things got on his horse, followed the tall and handsome Prince Yan, and headed out of the city.

On this day, all the people in Prince Yan's Mansion were going to Qingliang Villa to escape the summer heat.

Qingliang Villa is located on the outskirts of Beiping, and I don't know how my father found that place.It is very shady and cool, and it is not very far from Beiping.

Since Qingliang Mountain Villa was built five years ago, every summer, my father would drag their family to the mountain resort to escape the summer heat.

As soon as he entered the villa, Zhu Gaochi heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help squinting and smiling as the breeze blew in.What a comfort.

It was night, Zhu Gaochi was sitting in the peach orchard of the villa, blowing the mountain wind, drowsy, until a cloak was gently covered.

Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes, raised his head, and grinned, "Father?"

"Why don't you go to sleep? Do you want to catch a cold?" Zhu Di reprimanded displeased.

Zhu Gaochi smiled innocently and scratched his head, "The wind is so comfortable..."

Zhu Di sat on a chair beside him, looked up and looked around, and frowned, "Where's Sanbao and Zhiqin? Where's Agui?"

"...the son let them back down."

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi, and said seriously, "Unless Dad is with you, you are not allowed to ask anyone to step down."

"...Yes." His father was really worried.

Don't you have something important to do now?Don't worry about these trivial things.

So, I couldn't help but said, "Father..."

"Ok?"

"My son will take care of me, and my father will... be busy with your affairs..." Zhu Gaochi said seriously.

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and looked at Zhu Gaochi, "Do you think father is busy?"

Zhu Gaochi was startled, then shook his head, "Son doesn't want Dad to be too tired." After a pause, he whispered, "Teacher Daoyan told his son..."

Zhu Di was silent.

Raising his hand and slowly stroking Zhu Gaochi's head, he said in a hoarse voice, "Father knows...but dad... only feels at ease when he is by your side..." Zhu Di's tone was somewhat meaningful.

But Zhu Gaochi couldn't hear it anymore, but he suddenly thought, oh, so Dad wants to get the support of his family?

So, Zhu Gaochi frowned, smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, your son will always be by your side." I support you!

Zhu Di's heart froze, looking at Zhu Gaochi's calm smile, he felt a little powerless, he couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or happiness?

He had no choice but to rub Zhu Gaochi's head fiercely, staring and saying, "Go back to the room and sleep!"

Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, what happened to his father? ?

But he got up obediently, held his father's cloak, looked up at Zhu Di, "Father...how about you? It's getting late..."

Zhu Di shook his head slowly, "Dad, sit down for a while." After a pause, he said calmly, "Dad will sleep with you tonight."

Zhu Gaochi held his father's cloak and walked slowly towards his room.

After watching Zhu Gaochi's back go away, Zhu Di spread out the note in his hand: The prince has passed away!

Zhu Di smiled coldly, the time...has it come?

Standing up, slowly tearing the note into pieces, Zhu Di turned around and strode towards Zhu Gaochi's room.

Walking into the room, I saw Zhu Gaochi fell asleep in a large font, the quilt had been kicked to the ground, and the window was still open?

Zhu Di frowned, hurriedly closed the window, walked to the bed, picked up the quilt, and wrapped Zhu Gaochi carefully.He took off his coat again, lay down on the bed, wrapped Zhu Gaochi who kicked off the quilt again, hugged him tightly, and sighed helplessly.

this kid!

Staring at Zhu Gaochi, remembering that day, Dao Yan came to him and said: "My lord, today the poor monk asked the son a question..."

"what is the problem?"

"The poor monk asked the prince, the wind and rain are coming, but the prince is ready?"

"Dao Yan!! Didn't I say, don't talk about these bad things?!"

"Hehe, don't be upset, my lord. Does my lord know how the son answered?"

"Chi'er...how did you say it?"

"At that time, Shizi replied with a smile, "Well, since the wind and rain follow each other. "

……

Does the wind and rain go hand in hand?

The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched into an unconscious, gentle and pampering smile.
