Gao Chi of the Ming River

It's night, in the palace.

Zhu Yunwen paced back and forth anxiously, and Huang Zicheng standing beside him also frowned.

"I think..." Huang Zicheng hesitated again and again, but still cupped his hands and said, "It is the best way to ask the emperor to order a marriage..."

Zhu Yunqi paused, turned his head and frowned, "Is it so good to let Fourth Uncle marry Master Zhang? Can Fourth Uncle be restrained? Zicheng, aren't you being too naive?"

Huang Zicheng shook his head slowly, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, at least, we can mess up their arrangement... King Yan values ​​his son very much, and the marriage may not restrain King Yan, but at least it can create a rift between King Yan and his son. I think it is still necessary!"

Zhu Yunwen was silent, with some hesitation in his eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing the hesitation in Zhu Yunwen's eyebrows, Huang Zicheng hurriedly said in a low voice, "Even if it doesn't work, we have nothing to lose."

This is also...

Zhu Yunqi then said, "Find an opportunity, let me talk to Grandpa Huang." After a pause, he frowned again, "Now is not an opportunity..."

Huang Zicheng replied respectfully, "Yes. I understand."

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

Today, Zhu Gaochi was walking slowly in the courtyard.

The redness on the ankle has almost disappeared.

Well, Papa's ointment is really good.

Walking slowly, at first Ma Sanbao wanted to come over to help, but Zhu Gaochi refused with a smile.

It's just that he hasn't walked for half a month, hey, it's just sprained, and the old man is really serious, he insists on not letting him go to the ground.Now that it's finally healed, he can finally keep his feet on the ground.

A little rusty, but still good.

Zhiqin watched from the side, and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, your feet are all healed now!!"

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and smiled gently.

Ma Sanbao was very worried, "My lord, be careful!"

Zhu Gaochi waved his hands leisurely, "It's okay, it's okay!"

Zhu Gaochi walked to the gate of the courtyard, was about to turn around, and habitually put his hands behind his back, but at this moment, he stepped on a stone under his feet, and his body tilted——

Seeing that they were about to fall, Zhiqin and Ma Sanbao exclaimed, and were about to step forward, when a pair of big hands grabbed Zhu Gaochi in time.

Zhu Gaochi was closing his eyes and preparing to face the pain, but he was brought into a warm and familiar embrace.

When he opened his eyes and saw the person hugging him clearly, he couldn't help grinning, "Father."

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi, "Walk quickly before you feel better! Do you want to limp yourself?!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly, not daring to speak back.

Zhu Di simply picked up Zhu Gaochi, and reprimanded Zhiqin and Ma Sanbao, who were kneeling and saluting, "The prince doesn't know how to cherish himself, don't you slaves know how to take care of the prince?!"

Zhiqin and Ma Sanbao hurriedly kowtowed, "Slave (servant) should die!"

Zhu Gaochi was embarrassed, and when he was picked up by Da Heng, he felt embarrassed!Why does he feel nervous when he is hugged by his father like this?

It's also strange to feel uneasy, actually...there's nothing wrong with Dad holding him like this, right? ? ?Why is he nervous!

But still couldn't help reaching out and pulling the clothes on Zhu Di's shoulder quietly, his face was slightly red, and he whispered, "Father, let the son down."

Zhu Di turned his head, gave Zhu Gaochi a hard look, turned around and carried Zhu Gaochi to the back room.

He didn't miss Zhu Gao's red ears.This kid... feel embarrassed, right?

Zhu Di felt a little proud and happy.

After sitting on the couch with Zhu Gaochi in his arms, he gave Zhiqin Sanbao some light instructions and asked them to retreat.

After Zhiqin and Sanbao retreated, Zhu Di turned around and reprimanded severely, "Don't do this next time!"

"...my son knows." Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice, then stretched out his hand and tugged at Zhu Di's sleeve, his face flushed slightly, "Father...let my son down."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, but hugged Zhu Gaochi even tighter, "What? Do you dislike your father?"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, disgusted?Then he pretended to be silly and smiled, "My son just doesn't want you to be too tired."

Yeah?Zhu Di smiled meaningfully.

Staring at Zhu Gaochi's slightly red face, smiled slightly, and slowly let go of his hand, "Okay."

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, being hugged by his father like this made him really nervous.

"Chi'er, tomorrow we will enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit, and we can return to Peiping the day after tomorrow.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up.

Zhu Di said some things to pay attention to in detail, and then got up to leave.

After Zhu Di left, Zhu Gaochi let out a long sigh of relief, and could finally leave Nanjing...

Lying on the couch, Zhu Gaochi was worried, what happened to him recently?

When the old man gets close, his heart beats faster. He sleeps with his father at night, his body is stiff, and he always looks at his father in a daze. Seeing his father in a daze, he almost reached out to touch his father... I was so nervous and at a loss, if I hadn't been a person who died and reincarnated, not a kid, I'm afraid I would have been embarrassing a long time ago!

I hope it will return to normal soon.If things go on like this, Dad will definitely find out that something is wrong with him...

When the time comes, what will he say?

Zhu Gaochi turned over and lay down on the couch, sighing softly.

That day, he shouldn't have let his father bathe him!

It's all the fault of the bath!

After Zhu Di strode out of Zhu Gaochi's distance, he couldn't hide his smug smile.

It seems... that kid is not unaware.

That's good!Zhu Di thought in his heart, it's just... that kid is generous, but he is also very stubborn. This kind of thing... I'm afraid that kid will hide away if he finds out.

Zhu Di frowned. It seemed that he had to plan carefully.

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

Today, in Fengxian Hall.

Zhu Yunwen picked up the ginseng soup respectfully presented by the court lady, carefully handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the couch, and said softly, "Grandfather, be careful not to burn it."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Ah? It's okay!" After finishing speaking, he took it, but put it aside, and turned to look at Zhu Yunqi with a smile, "Is Yunwen here today for something?"

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, "Grandpa, Yunwen just came to see you. Nothing else..."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, nodded and smiled, "Yun Wen is a good boy." After that, he picked up the ginseng soup and drank it slowly.

"By the way, Yun Wen. I heard that someone outside has been a matchmaker for Gao Chi recently." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly after drinking the ginseng soup, his tone was very flat.

But it made Zhu Yunwen's back suddenly burst into cold sweat.

"Grandfather, this... Yun Wen has never heard of it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "How dare you talk about a matchmaker during the prince's national funeral? Do these people still have the prince in their eyes?!"

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said, "That's right! It's too much!" After a pause, he hesitated, "But... Gao Chi is thirteen, if his life's event is delayed because of his father's affairs..."

"Huh! Thirteen is nothing!!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, raised his head and said to Zhu Yunqi, "His marriage, the emperor's grandfather will decide for him! Others...don't worry about it!"

Zhu Yunqi was startled, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously, but seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was calm, his heart couldn't help but startled, was this a warning to himself?

*********

The next day, a group of people from Prince Yan's Mansion entered the palace to face the saint.

In Fengxian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in a high position and saw that although Zhu Gaochi was walking slowly, but his steps were still steady, he couldn't help but nodded in relief and said, "Gaochi, it seems that your feet have almost recovered."

Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands respectfully, "Dragging the grandpa's blessing."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, waved his hands and said, "This is also your own blessing!"

Looking at Xu Shi again with a smile, he said, "Fourth daughter-in-law, I heard that someone has already arranged a matchmaking match for Gao Chi?"

Xu was taken aback for a moment, and Zhu Di's heart sank.

Zhu Gaochi was surprised, huh?When did this happen?Why doesn't he know?

Mrs. Xu came back to her senses, and hurried forward to return respectfully, "When I returned to my father, someone mentioned a family, but my daughter-in-law felt that the time was wrong, and... Chi'er was only thirteen, so don't worry..."

"Haha! That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Old fourth daughter-in-law, don't accept Gao Chi's marriage casually, his marriage! I've got it covered!"

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he was stunned, right?

Zhu Di's heart became more gloomy, and he lowered his eyes to hide the fury in his eyes.

Mrs. Xu could only respectfully respond, "Yes! My daughter-in-law knows."

"Well... let's do it! I think Zhang Dongzhi's daughter is pretty good. It's not convenient now that the crown prince is in mourning, but I'll make an appointment for you first. Next year, when Gao Chi is fourteen, get married!"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, this... Is this an order?Subconsciously turned to look at his father, but saw his father lowered his eyes, expressionless.

Zhu Gaochi was anxious, father, you should open your mouth! !

He didn't want to get married so early!

"Fourth? What do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Di at this moment, and asked with a smile.

Zhu Di was silent for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Very good!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt a chill in his heart, father... why do you say that? !

There is a kind of indescribable loss and suffocation.

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, "Then let's talk about it first. Gao Chi! Wait! Grandpa will give you a beautiful daughter-in-law next year!"

Zhu Gaochi wanted to speak, but his hand was suddenly held by someone. Zhu Gaochi lowered his head slightly, and the hand holding him was a dark and rough hand, which was his father.

Zhu Gaochi's heart is sour and complicated, father...

Zhu Gaochi bowed his head silently, lowered his eyes, and slightly broke away from his father's hand.

In addition to loss and suffocation, there is also an unexplainable anger in my heart.

Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "Grandson thanked Grandpa Huang!"
