He Xi was confused for a while and then was woken up by the eunuch outside.
Xu Baoer said cautiously: "Secretary He, it's dawn and the palace gate is wide open. Do you want to leave the palace today?"
He Xi woke up immediately. She got up and opened the door for Xu Bao'er, only to see Xu Bao'er leading a group of palace maids, carrying various things, such as tooth powder, toothbrushes, mouthwash, face wash, towels, etc. Without waiting for He Xi to say anything, they started to work together.
From washing your face and brushing your teeth to putting your clothes in order, everything is done in one go. The division of labor is clear and there is no confusion at all.
And He Xi was dazzled for a moment. Before she could react, she had already finished washing.
Immediately, another bowl of white porridge was served, a few plates of vegetables, and a basket of steamed buns. It was similar to modern meals. Of course, this is Chinese cuisine with a long history. Although many dishes were developed after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many dishes,
It existed before the Ming Dynasty. Just like soup dumplings, they say they came from the Song Dynasty.
This is also the result of He Xi's choice.
Today's imperial chefs are not the imperial chefs of the late Ming Dynasty. The imperial chefs of the late Ming Dynasty were in a complete mess. Even if the emperor did not have a small kitchen, he could only eat some cold meals and cold dishes. And Zhu Yuanzhang was not used to them. So how high is the level of the imperial chef?
Not necessarily. At least the attitude would be good.
Any request from He Xi will be fulfilled with all our strength.
As a result, He Xi's food gradually became closer to that of later generations.
He Xi didn't waste time and ate breakfast. She got up and prepared to leave the palace. However, she found that Xu Baoer and several young eunuchs were following He Xi step by step.
He Xi said: "Eunuch Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Baoer said, "My foster father told me. It is inconvenient for Secretary He to have no one to run errands around. So I asked my slave to follow Secretary He. If Secretary He has any instructions, just tell me, and I will definitely take care of it for you."
He Xi pondered for a moment and said nothing.
On the one hand, He Xi also feels that there are not many people around him to help him, so it is inconvenient to do things. People rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles. Sometimes if you don't show off, others really don't know who you are. Even if He Xi has an imperial gift in his hand
But the gatekeepers at various government offices may not know each other. If he comes alone, he will be looked down upon. And he needs to find someone. If he doesn’t have a phone or a mobile phone, doesn’t he need someone to run errands?
On the other hand, He Xi also suspected that some of these people were sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to monitor him.
But He Xi only dared to think about this kind of thing, didn't dare to ask, and didn't dare to talk about it. He just pretended that he didn't know.
He Xi nodded and said: "Send someone to the Ministry of Industry to say hello first. Let them prepare. I want to check the weapons inventory. Pig iron, sulfur, cotton, beef tendon and other inventory."
Xu Baoer immediately agreed and asked a little eunuch beside him to run away.
Just when He Xi walked out of Qianqing Palace, he found a group of people waiting here.
The leader is a girl.
At this moment, a group of eunuchs and maids were walking in front of them. It was right at sunrise, and the sun was about to rise. The early morning sunlight was smudged by the atmosphere, giving it a golden charm. This charm struck the girl,
It gives people a pure and noble look. The originally fair skin has a shy and rosy look.
For a moment, He Xi subconsciously touched the phone.
He wanted to take a picture of this scene.
Because it's really beautiful.
When the girl saw He Xi, she took a few steps forward, paused and said, "I've met Brother He."
He Xi immediately returned the greeting with cupped fists, but didn't know what to call him.
Xu Baoer bowed first and said, "I will pay my respects to Princess Anqing."
Only then did He Xi realize that the girl in front of her was Princess Anqing, and she immediately said, "I pay my respects to Princess Anqing." She then bowed down.
Princess Anqing hurriedly stepped forward, supported He Xi, and said, "Father said that the He family's brother is a family friend of mine and should not use this common courtesy."
Princess Anqing's weak little hand touched He Xi's big hand, and they separated in an instant. He Xi didn't feel anything. But he didn't like to kneel either, so he just followed the trend. But he didn't know what Princess Anqing was thinking in her heart.
There was a ripple in the middle.
This is the first time Princess Anqing has such close contact with her foreign husband.
Even though Princess Anqing was suspicious, He Xi was the illegitimate son of her father. She was also a little embarrassed. It was just hidden in the bright morning sunshine, making it difficult for people to see clearly for a while.
Not to mention, the early morning sunshine seems to be a gift of beauty from nature. Under this kind of light, women are a little more dreamy, and men are a little more handsome. As a modern person, He Xi’s basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation are all important to him.
It was a bit more refined than the ancients. The sunlight was shining on his face, making He Xi's face more three-dimensional. The sunlight seemed to penetrate through the outermost layer of gauze on He Xi, making it look like He Xi
The whole person was glowing with light.
The morning sunshine seems to be the beauty given by nature.
Princess Anqing's heart suddenly beat a few beats faster. Combined with yesterday's voice, it felt even more indescribable.
However, He Xi did not connect Princess Anqing with yesterday's palace maid. She just stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Princess Anqing gathered her thoughts and said, "Today I came to see Brother He, but it was under the orders of my father, the Queen, and my Queen." Princess Anqing turned around and said, "Bring His Royal Highness Prince Lu over here."
After a while, the poor Prince Lu was carried over.
Last night, the Crown Prince was ordered to rebuke King Lu's 20-year-old son. Even though the Crown Prince wanted to be merciful, he did not dare to go too far with the emperor's orders. King Lu was only eleven years old.
, still beat King Lu to pieces.
It's just that King Lu didn't expect that after the fight, it wasn't over yet. He would have to come over early this morning.
In fact, Princess Anqing didn't understand either.
Princess Anqing understood that her father asked King Lu’s younger brother to come over and apologize. What King Lu did yesterday was outrageous. But she didn’t understand why she came over. Her father was busy with official duties, but her mother was not too busy in the morning. Even the queen mother
It's too heavy to come here, but there is still the prince brother. Even if the prince brother has to follow his father to the morning court, there is also the king of Chu brother. Even if the king of Chu brother has something to do, it is not that there are other brothers below. It is not her turn as a daughter to show up.
.
Even if it can be considered as a good match for the whole family, it is not appropriate.
But his father wanted him to come over.
Princess Anqing didn't understand, but she didn't understand. But what should be done must still be done. Princess Anqing said to He Xi: "My brother is used to being arrogant. My father has already taught him a lesson about what happened yesterday. Let him do it today."
You apologize."
He Xi immediately said: "Princess, you are welcome. This is not a big deal, why should it be like this?"
"Look, sister, look. Gu just said it. It's not a big deal at all, and so does my father. Just for a trivial matter, you beat Gu and ask Gu to apologize. It's not necessary at all.
.”
He Xi looked at King Lu and didn't know what expression to show for a moment.
He was obviously just being polite.
Could it be that he wants to ask King Lu to apologize quickly? Doesn’t His Royal Highness King Lu know how to write the four words "human feelings and worldliness"?
Princess Anqing felt extremely embarrassed. She bit her jade teeth and said, "I ask you to apologize, so you apologize."
King Lu snorted coldly, glanced at He Xi sideways, and said, "I was alone yesterday."
He Xi could see that King Lu didn't think he was wrong at all. He was full of complaints and even hated himself. However, He Xi didn't care too much. If it was the prince or King Yan who hated him, He Xi would still
Trying to figure out how to save it, but King Lu.
He couldn't make any waves in history. He died very young. He Xi didn't care at all.
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, but these days, it's all about father and son, and there is an old father like Zhu Yuanzhang. He Xi still has to give him some face. He Xi said: "As I said just now, His Highness King Lu meant what he said, but it was just a small misunderstanding.
.”
Then he took a step back, bowed and said in salute: "Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness King Lu. I have the emperor's orders and I dare not stay for a long time. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he took Xu Baoer and left.
After Princess Anqing watched He Xi leave, she turned around and gave King Lu a sharp look and said, "Tenth brother, what are you doing?"
King Lu said: "Sister, I am just a slave. What can I do to give him face?"
Princess Anqing sneered and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I can't control you, let's see how father controls you."
King Lu didn't care either.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was usually very busy and taught the prince diligently. But he didn't care too much about his other sons, especially the lower-ranked concubine. He had already given a blow and apologized, what else could be done to him?
?
It's just that King Lu thought wrongly. He clearly mistook the previous Zhu Yuanzhang for the current Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a restless person.
The establishment of the Secretary Supervisor has also reduced Zhu Yuanzhang's great burden. At least it gave Zhu Yuanzhang an extra hour or two of free time every day.
If other emperors were just having fun, Zhu Yuanzhang spent this time studying. He learned the knowledge that He Xi brought from later generations. He also had more time to discipline his son, especially what King Lu did who knew the history.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang even more determined.
If he could not change King Lu's temper, he would rather leave King Lu in Nanjing for the rest of his life and watch him die. He would not let him harm the people and torture himself, causing him to die young in his early twenties.
Therefore, King Lu did not know that even if nothing happened today, his life of misery would still come. With what happened today, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to appease He Xi and make He Xi feel at ease, his attack on King Lu would only be more serious.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, who had the world in mind, the relationship between father and son was important. But the great cause of the country and what was in He Xi's mind were even more important. To put it bluntly, compared to what He Xi brought from later generations, it was just a mere mention.
