Gao Chi of the Ming River

Zhang Rongyue stood in the yard, staring at the moonlight, dazed.

It was only when the servant girl hurried in that Zhang Rongyue came back to her senses.

"But was it sent to Tingtao Academy?" Zhang Rongyue asked softly.

The servant girl smiled, "The servant girl has sent it."

Zhang Rongyue nodded slightly, turned her head to stare at the moonlight, and murmured, "That's all I can do..."

"That's right! Miss, when I came back from Tingtao Courtyard, I seem to have seen the prince!" The servant girl said in a low voice.

Zhang Rongyue was startled, then frowned, the prince is back?

**********

However, in Tingtao Courtyard at this time...

Zhu Gaochi stared at the bowl of noodles that were already mushy for a long time, then looked up at the embarrassed old man sitting opposite him, his slender eyebrows arched, and he picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the noodles, but Zhu Di hurriedly raised his hand to stop , Seeing Zhu Gaochi looked over suspiciously, he coughed lightly and pretended to be serious, "Chi'er, just now the doctor Wu told me that your injury is still not healed, so you can't eat noodles..."

Zhu Gaochi stared at his father pretending to be serious, but unfortunately there was still such an embarrassing expression between his brows and eyes. After a long while, he said slowly, "Father... will eating noodles affect the recovery of the injury?"

"Since Imperial Physician Wu has explained it like this, you just obey!" After Zhu Di finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the noodles and threw them out of the window.

Move extremely fast!

Zhu Gaochi only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the noodles in his hand had disappeared.Suddenly my heart froze, his father's movements were too fast, right?

After Zhu Di finished pouring the noodles, he turned to Zhu Gaochi and said with a sneer, "Chi'er, I promise you, when you recover from your injury, you will be able to eat the noodles made by my own hands!"

Zhu Gaochi stared at his father, smiled slowly, nodded, and said seriously, "Yes! My son is waiting!"

********

Deep night.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di, who was lying beside him with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but whisper, "Father..."

"Huh?" Zhu Di raised his hand and gently stroked Zhu Gaochi's head, and replied lazily.

"Father, have you read your son's letter?" Zhu Gaochi asked in a low voice.

"What do you think?" Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes, and smiled lowly, "Do you think that if Dad hasn't seen it, Dad will endure it and let you come back alone?"

Zhu Gaochi's heart paused, that... also.

However, that's it, he was at a loss!

Did his father read the last sentence of his letter, the phrase "forever his son"?

If you read it, you should understand your decision, right?

Why... are you still writing those letters?Now... lying beside him, hugging himself...

what do you mean?

Of course...he himself is... not enough concentration!

Zhu Gaochi despises himself very much!

Obviously already decided...but still...can't refuse...

Zhu Di stroked Zhu Gaochi's head, smiled lowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chi'er...it's getting late, go to sleep."

Zhu Gaochi froze for a moment, then frowned slightly, raised his head and was about to speak, but saw his father closed his eyes again, the exhaustion between his brows and eyes made him unable to speak, so Zhu Gaochi had to lower his head.

His father... was this... on purpose, right?

Zhu Gaochi felt depressed, he clearly knew his decision, but deliberately obscured his meaning, his father is really treacherous!

After thinking wildly in his mind for a while, he finally felt drowsy. Zhu Gaochi leaned on his father's chest, listening to the steady heartbeat, and fell asleep slowly. After a while, the snoring sounded.

Only when the snoring sounded, Zhu Di opened his eyes, curled up the corners of his mouth, smiled dotingly and somewhat complacently, touched Zhu Gaochi's cheek, Zhu Di bowed his head, kissed him lightly for a while, then hugged Zhu Gaochi tightly, and slowly fell asleep.

**********

The next day.

When Mrs. Xu was about to leave Fanghua Courtyard and head to Tingtao Courtyard, she heard an urgent voice behind her, "Princess, please stay!"

Xu turned around, and saw Zhang Rongyue walking forward with a slightly red face.

Xu smiled, "Miss Zhang, is something wrong?"

Zhang Rongyue hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Princess... Rongyue wants to visit the prince, I don't know... is it possible?"

Xu was stunned and hesitated, but seeing Zhang Rongyue's flushed face and restrained shyness, she sighed softly, then nodded and said, "Of course."

Zhang Rongyue couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

At this time, it was the morning time, and the October wind was a bit chilly, but the plum blossoms on both sides of the corridor were in full bloom.

The pale yellow petals are slowly spinning in the air under the breeze.

Xu and Zhang Rongyue walked slowly in the corridor.

Looking at the plum blossoms, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "The flowers bloom really well."

"Yes!" Zhang Rongyue echoed, watching the plum blossoms whirling in the wind, Zhang Rongyue thought of the plum blossom tree under the boudoir in Nanjing, and her expression flashed with melancholy.

Mrs. Xu caught a glimpse and said softly, "But do you miss home?"

Zhang Rongyue was startled, and then responded in a low voice.

Xu looked up at the sky in the distance. At this time, the sun was slowly falling, and the sky gradually became clearer.

Maybe remembering the past?

Maybe because of some kind of feeling?

Xu said in a low voice, "Where is the peach blossom with a human face? Will you be here today in the next year?"

Zhang Rongyue was taken aback.

Xu smiled slowly and looked at Zhang Rongyue, "It's just some feelings."

After that, he smiled and said, "Women like us always have a lot of involuntary things."

Involuntary?Zhang Rongyue couldn't help trembling.

"After all... the family is always the most important thing." Xu said lightly.Looking at Zhang Rongyue again, she smiled slightly, "But for a mother, the child is always the most important."

Zhang Rongyue was taken aback for a moment, then came back to her senses, and smiled in agreement, the smile was a bit far-fetched.

Princess, are you implying something?

But after Xu finished speaking, he didn't say any more.

While speaking, she had already walked outside the courtyard of Tingtao Courtyard, Xu Shi was about to step in, when she saw Zhu Di striding out, she couldn't help being stunned, the prince is back?But then he thought of Zhang Rongyue behind him, and secretly yelled, "Oops!"

At this time, Zhu Di had strode out, caught a glimpse of Mrs. Xu, slowed down, and saw Zhang Rongyue behind Mrs. Xu, his eyes narrowed slightly. At this time, there was only one young girl in Yan Wang's mansion, a little meat that he deeply hated. Bao's so-called... fiancee! !

Standing still, after Xu Shi and Zhang Rongyue saluted, Zhu Di said lightly, "Chi'er is resting now, princess, you go to Songzhuyuan with me, I have something to say."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di wanted to walk towards Songzhuyuan.

At this time, Zhang Rongyue plucked up the courage to step out, knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice, "Zhang Rongyue pays homage to the prince!"

Xu was taken aback, but Zhu Di glanced indifferently, hummed, and wanted to leave.

Zhang Rongyue kowtowed loudly again and said, "Rongyue begs to see the son, and I hope the prince will be fulfilled!"

Zhu Di's heart suddenly became angry, and his eyes became cold all of a sudden.

Want to see that little meat bun? !Don't even think about it!

Seeing that Zhu Di's expression was not right, Mrs. Xu hurried forward, and was about to help Zhang Rongyue get up, when Zhu Di said coldly, "This king has said it! Your son is recuperating! Miss Zhang, please go back!"

"Since Rongyue came to Beiping, she has never met the prince, and now she heard that the prince was injured... Rongyue just wanted to visit the prince... and please help me."

Zhang Rongyue clenched her fists, her heart was shy and nervous but she still tremblingly said, she must... see the crown prince...

must!

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, this Zhang Rongyue...

Just when Mrs. Xu was nervous and was about to persuade Zhang Rongyue, Zhiqin ran out in a hurry, knelt down on the ground, and said, "I have seen the prince, the concubine, Miss Zhang..."

"Zhiqin, but what's the matter?" Zhu Di asked with a frown.

Isn't that kid reading a book?

"Your Majesty said, please invite Miss Zhang Rongyue to come in and sit down." Zhiqin said timidly.

When Zhu Di heard this, he clenched his hands into fists.

That kid!

*********

At this time, Zhu Gaochi had already moved to the yard and sat down.

Hearing some voices outside, he was curious for a while, so he asked Zhiqin to take a look.

When he heard Zhiqin say that Zhang Rongyue knelt down and begged to see him, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help being puzzled and curious.

Thinking that it's not good to be in such a stalemate, she asked Zhiqin to invite Zhang Rongyue.

Zhu Gaochi wanted to see, what exactly did Zhang Rongyue want to do?

Do you really look at yourself, or...

So, when Zhang Rongyue came in, he saw a gentle-faced young man sitting on a recliner, looking at the sky leisurely.

When he heard his own footsteps, he turned his head slowly and smiled at himself politely but distantly.

Zhang Rongyue couldn't help being in a trance, as if she saw that young man who was at the foot of the mountain, slightly dodging to give way, looking up with a leisurely smile...

Tears almost slipped down.

Seeing the sadness on Zhang Rongyue's face and the tears rolling in his eyes, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help being stunned and a little at a loss, so he said, "Miss Zhang?"

Zhang Rongyue came back to her senses and forced a smile.

"Are you okay?" Zhu Gaochi asked cautiously.

Zhang Rongyue just shook her head slowly, stared at Zhu Gaochi for a long time, and then slowly smiled softly, with a bit of shyness and a bit of satisfaction.

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

In Songzhu Courtyard, Zhu Di's mood was gloomy and a little restless.

Thinking about that stinky boy who invited a big yellow girl to sit in the yard? !

Does that brat know about plums in the melon field? !

Does that brat know whether men and women can kiss each other? !

Xu looked at Zhu Di's expressionless and gloomy eyes with some puzzlement, and said in a low voice, "My lord?"

Zhu Di came back to his senses, and said lightly, "Perhaps, after a while, the one who should come will come."

Xu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently, and said in a low voice, "I understand."

"And...Chi'er..." Zhu Di said slowly, "He..."

**********

Sitting on a low stool, Zhang Rongyue slowly took out a sachet, handed it over with a reddish face, and said in a low voice, "This was embroidered by Rongyue herself, Rongyue is clumsy, please don't do it." dislike."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

Sachets?

What does it mean when an unmarried woman sends a sachet to a man?

Zhu Gaochi understood.

So, Zhu Gaochi shook his head slowly, and said seriously, "Gao Chi understands Miss Zhang's intentions, but Gao Chi cannot accept it."

Zhang Rongyue's expression changed, her hands trembled slightly, and the sachet fell to the ground.

Zhu Gaochi bent down, picked up the sachet, and gently put it in Zhang Rongyue's hands.

Zhang Rongyue clenched her lower lip, lowered her head, and tightly grabbed the sachet in her hand.

"Miss Zhang... Gao Chi already has someone he likes." Zhu Gaochi whispered.

Zhang Rongyue was taken aback.The person you like?

"What kind of woman is she?" Zhang Rongyue was silent for a while, but still couldn't help asking in a low voice.

What kind of woman?

Cough cough, woman? !

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, imagining his father in women's clothing, he couldn't help grinning.

With thin eyebrows, she said gently, "She is very good. She doesn't know how to bake sweet potatoes or make noodles, but now that she can finally bake sweet potatoes, she still doesn't know how to make noodles. She looks terrible. She has a bad temper and is very stubborn. , sometimes unreasonable, nagging, suspicious, and cunning..." Zhu Gaochi chattered.

Zhang Rongyue was stunned for a while, before asking in a low voice, "Such a person...why does the Crown Prince like it?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard it, he scratched his head in distress, "I don't know why I like it..." He grinned again, the smile was full of satisfaction and happiness, "But... I have never regretted it, and I like the feeling of being together... I just want to It will be very reassuring..."

Staring at Zhang Rongyue, Zhu Gaochi smiled, "So... I can't accept Miss Zhang's kindness."
