Zhu Gaochi held the sword on his waist and strode straight to the palace, followed closely by two guards.
Yang Shiqi couldn't catch up with him even at a trot, so he simply gave up and walked leisurely behind him.
"Keng!"
As soon as they saw Zhu Gaochi holding up his chest, he wanted to go straight into the palace. The two guards in front of the door immediately raised their swords and crossed their swords, making a sound of gold and iron. One of the guards said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please untie the sword!"
Zhu Gaochi glanced at them coldly, reached out and took off the sword from the golden hook on his waist, and threw it back. A guard stepped forward, reached out to grab the sword, and held it in his hand. Two people in front of the door
The guard took a step back with the sword in his hand, and then stuck it there like a stake. Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly and strode into the prince's palace.
Zhu Gaochi angrily stepped into the main hall. When he looked up, his fat brother was standing in the hall with an extremely serious expression. Zhu Gaochi felt a chill in his heart, and his arrogance was weakened a bit unconsciously. This prince had a kind-hearted temperament, and he was born fat, so he usually only
Seeing his peacefulness, it is difficult to see his majesty, but when he gets angry occasionally, his majesty increases. Zhu Gaochi was full of anger, but when he saw his elder brother angry, he felt a little timid.
Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted: "My brother... I have met the emperor's brother!"
Zhu Gaochi snorted heavily and said, "Gao Xu, you have done a good job!"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and asked: "Brother Emperor, what did my brother do?"
Zhu Gaochi said angrily: "Are you still asking me? What language do guests from a foreign country speak and whether they can communicate with each other? This is the most important thing to pay attention to when receiving foreign envoys. You will make such a mistake even if you are reckless.
, You are so ridiculous that your face is thousands of miles away!"
Zhu Gaoxu was also furious. He straightened his neck and retorted: "My brother has never received foreign guests. These chores should be the responsibility of the etiquette department. Little did I know that there is not even a single person in the Seyi Pavilion who understands their language!"
Zhu Gaochi shouted: "Are you still reasonable? Let me ask you. They had a dispute in the police station and beat each other to death. Do you know about this?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I know, what's wrong?"
Zhu Gaochi was furious and slapped the case: "What's wrong? You knew they were incompatible, why did you arrange them all in the Huitong Hall? As a result of last night's battle, even the house in the Huitong Hall was burned down!"
Zhu Gaoxu was at a loss for words. At that time, he felt that he could not get off the stage because of the language barrier. He was so ashamed that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, hastily arranged the accommodation of those people, and left impatiently, not expecting that he would
There are so many problems.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "My father is inspecting Beijing, leaving you and me as brothers to supervise the country. Without my father's talents and strategies, we are certainly not as good at running the country and maintaining success. How can we not achieve anything without making mistakes?"
"I……"
Zhu Gaoxu ran out of power and said squeakingly: "The Minister of Rites should be thinking about this..."
Zhu Gaochi looked directly at him and said: "Everything is the fault of others. So... what are you going to do?"
"I……"
Zhu Gaochi rolled his sleeves and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I will gather the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites for my brother and choose another minister to receive him!"
Zhu Gaochi's plump body had completely disappeared into the main hall. Only then did Zhu Gaoxu wake up. He jumped three feet and said in a rage: "I am also a prisoner! Why should you be arbitrary?"
A soft voice came from behind: "Because he is the prince and the crown prince of the country!"
Zhu Gaochi looked back fiercely and saw Yang Shiqi standing there quietly.

It's early autumn. The autumn tiger is still annoying, but the wind is still quite cool.
Sakura stood at the mouth of the well, fetched a bucket of water, wrung out the washed clothes, and then hung them one by one on the clothesline to dry. The used water poured along the stone platform beside the well and walked along the path.
The ditch at the bottom of the stone flows gurglingly to the corner of the wall, and then flows from the hole in the wall to the outside of the wall.
The superiority and inferiority of the grassland, the upper and lower classes, are more reflected in the personal rights they possess. Since the Northern Yuan court returned to Mobei, they gradually resumed the traditional life on the grassland. Even the noble ladies rarely
There is nothing they can do if they are pampered, and they have to do many housework by themselves. Sakura is no exception.
Especially after arriving here, except for the two old servants and their families, the house did not hire any more maids and servants. Not to mention her, even Tumen Baoyin and Tumen Baoyin's mother often looked for some work to make a living.
The two flower beds in the backyard have been cleared by the old lady, and vegetables have been planted. She enjoys tending the vegetable garden every day, watering, fertilizing, weeding, and catching insects.
A gust of wind came, and the wind chimes on the porch tinkled, as if competing with the distant sound of the distant shepherd's flute. Sakura straightened up and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeves. She had wide, moon-white sleeves.
The sleeves of the satin robe slipped down, revealing a section of white arms.
Once a beautiful woman is dressed plainly, no matter black or white, she has a unique charm, especially a woman like Xiaoying who grew up on the grassland. Her look and temperament are calm and ethereal, which is different from the Central Plains women who stand in the wind with their clothes fluttering.
, like a fairy. But the wind pulls the robe, highlighting the waist and the winding curve of the chest, but it has a sultry taste of a mortal woman.
Queen Tumen Baoyin now really regards her as her own daughter. These days, she has been hinting, intentionally or unintentionally, that it is time for her to marry someone else. She also keeps mentioning how good the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu is, as if she knows that person better.
Yes, it made Sakura very annoyed. But it was annoying because Tumen Baoyin was nagging him all day long, and it was not easy for her to forget that person.
Seeing the clear well water gurgling towards the wall, Sakura couldn't help but think of him again. When they were in Liaodong, although the two of them were not in trouble, they had an extremely close relationship more than once, and this was what she and she originally wanted.
She had never had a confirmed fiancé, Abjia. When she left Wala, she thought she would never see him again in this life, but she never expected that he would appear in front of her again.
The last time, I wanted to kill him, but this time, it was for the sake of the queen. In order to get rid of an old man who was half buried in the earth, I turned to him for help. By this time, my father's death on the battlefield had already faded away.
A lot of things happened. When the emperor drafted girls and the people competed for grooms, the companionship along the way... made her complicated and secretive emotions undergo subtle changes. She thought her heart was like an ancient well without waves, but it felt like a bucket had been dropped.
, causing ripples.
The world of mortals is vast! She is a mature girl both physically and mentally, and a lively and cheerful girl. She also has her own desires, ideals, and pursuits in life. Once she was in a vast world, is it possible for her to willingly marry a villager? However...,
That bold idea only flickered in my mind, and then disappeared as quickly as a shooting star. Wouldn't it be even more impossible?
"Muwen, Muwen!"
Someone called her several times in her ear. Xiaoying woke up with a start and hurriedly responded. When she turned around, she saw that it was Tumen Baoyin.
"Mom, you're back!" Xiaoying called out. Tumen Baoyin really loved her as her own daughter now. Xiaoying could feel her love for her. Xiaoying, who lost her mother since childhood, also sincerely cared about her.
He recognized her as his own mother.
Tumen Baoyin said happily: "Mu Wen, what are you thinking about? I shouted several times and you didn't answer, as if you had lost your soul. Let me tell you, I seldom go out for fear of talking to the people here.
It’s hard to talk to people together. But let’s not forget that the people here are quite simple. I chatted with an old woman on Qianmen Street for a long time, and I really hit it off.”
Xiaoying bent down and picked up the bucket, picked up the wooden basin and walked to the corridor, casually said: "Okay, we used to be on the grassland, the sky is so wide, the land is so vast, here is a small gate and a small courtyard, I was worried about you all day long
Being bored at home will make you sick. It’s better to go out for a walk and chat more.”
Tumen Baoyin followed up and said: "Hey, listen to me. The old woman's son and daughter-in-law want to open a fruit shop in Jinling City, but they are short of money. I think this is an opportunity. Our family's
The land is cultivated by tenants, so there is no need for anyone to take care of it all the time. If we take half of it and we form a partnership, all you need to do is go to the city often and take care of it. There is absolutely no way you can read or write..."
Xiaoying saw through her intentions as soon as she heard this, and couldn't help crying or laughing: "Mom! Do you think that if I go to Jinling City to open a fruit shop, I will be able to meet the Duke Fu from time to time?"
Tumen Baoyin said: "Well... you can say hello to him and ask him to take care of our business..."
Xiao Ying said angrily: "So, the dignified Duke Fu will personally go to the fruit shop every day and buy three catties of pears and two catties of dates? What are you thinking about!"
"Well……"
Tumen Baoyin laughed dryly: "Just looking for a way, actually... as long as you nod, I can go and tell him..."
Xiaoying interrupted her and said, "Mom, my relationship with you is incomparable in the sky and on the ground, so stop thinking about it."
Tumen Baoyin started to worry: "People in this village regard us as ordinary people. A girl as old as you doesn't talk about marriage, and people don't point fingers behind your back? Besides, I can't bear to have you live like this all your life?"
With your appearance, you are not worried about getting married, but what kind of ordinary people do you like? I have thought about it over and over, and you and Duke Fu are a match made in heaven, Mu Wen..."
“A match made in heaven?”
Xiaoying slammed the bucket and wooden basin down the corridor, put her hands on her hips, and said sternly: "You said it was a match made in heaven, right? If he, Yang Xu, appeared in front of me now, I would be with him for the rest of my life, would that be possible?
"
Tumen Baoyin was anxious: "No! You girl, aren't you cheating? How could he now..."
As soon as he said this, the half-open courtyard door creaked open.
Xia Xun walked in with a fluttering gown, a turban and leather belt, and a hand-held gold-painted fan.
Tumen Baoyin and Xiaoying looked at him dumbfounded. Xia Xun put away his small fan and raised his hands gracefully. Shi Shiran said: "Mrs. Chu, Miss Xie, it's been a long time!"
Sakura seemed to have seen a ghost and asked stammeringly: "You... what are you doing here? Why are you here!"
Early in the morning, please vote for recommendations! It’s the third day, friends, don’t save up for the guaranteed monthly tickets, vote early, it will be more affectionate! (To be continued)
