Palace of Heavenly Purity, Hall of Heart Cultivation.
Zhu Di stood in front of the bronze mirror. As he was dressed by the eunuch, he asked,""Have the envoys of the various countries settled down?”
"The Crown Prince has already arranged for the envoys of the various countries.”
"Those who are willing to stay in the Welcome Courtyard will be settled as usual.”
"Those who are willing to move out have registered with the Shangyi Bureau.”
"After this winter, when the ice melts next spring, we will return with the fleet.”
Zhu Di nodded.
At this moment, the eunuch Little Snot walked in from outside the hall.
He walked to Zhu Di's side and whispered,"Your Majesty, the young prince has brought that girl."”
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows." Oh? I have to go and take a look."
"The girl who accompanied you at the garden party?" Zheng He asked in surprise.”
Zhu Di smiled." You have good taste, little brat. That girl is very intelligent. She's not an ordinary girl."”
Zheng He chuckled.
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows." What are you laughing at?"
"I feel that it's a blessing for Your Highness to understand these things at such a young age," Zheng He said.”
Zhu Di laughed.”
"I don't care if he has that intention or not, but that girl must stay in the Zhu family.”
"That's a piece of jade. It would be a pity if you threw it into the bricks and tiles.”
Zheng He smiled and nodded.
"You should come with me to take a look." Zhu Di smiled.”
After changing into their clothes, the two of them went to Baohe Palace together.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoyan and Sun Ruowei were already waiting there.
When they saw Zhu Di, the two of them bowed in unison.
"The Emperor's Holy Bow, Jin An!"
"Zhen An." Zhu Di said loudly, then looked at Zhu Gaoyan and smiled,""Brat, take my words to heart.”
"It's much more worry-free than your three good-for-nothing brothers.”
Zhu Gaoyan grinned." Dad, you guys talk. I'm going out for a while."”
"Go ahead."
Zhu Gaoyan left, leaving only Zhu Di and the other two in the hall.
Zhu Di sat down and gestured for Zheng He to bring a stool for Sun Ruowei.
Sun Ruowei was somewhat flattered and said softly,""Thank you, Emperor."
"There's no need to be so formal here," Zhu Di smiled. Little girl, why did you save me that day?”
This simple question actually had another meaning.
Zhu Di already knew Sun Ruowei's true identity. Instead of asking why he saved him, it was better to ask why he didn't kill him.
Sun Ruowei naturally didn't know what Zhu Di was thinking. She just said according to her own thoughts,"When the Son of Heaven is in trouble, the subjects naturally cannot stand by and watch.”
" The Ming Dynasty can live without me, but it can't live without the emperor."
...
Outside Baohe Palace.
After Zhu Gaoyan went out, he felt that the place was a little unfamiliar. He looked up and realized that he had walked in the wrong direction.
This was not the main entrance of the Baohe Palace, but the side entrance to the palace.
Directly opposite was the Palace of Earthly Tranquility where the concubines lived.
"If I go back now, it would be too embarrassing to say that I went the wrong way. I'd better find my own way out.”
With this thought in mind, Zhu Gaoyan walked along the pathway of Baohe Palace.
Coincidentally, a group of concubines walked out of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, chatting and laughing.
The group of women stopped laughing when they saw Zhu Gaoyan.
There were no men in the harem. When they saw Zhu Gaoyan, they were surprised.
One of the women with a phoenix hairpin in her hair walked up to Zhu Gaoyan and bowed.
"Are you the Prince of Liang?"
Zhu Gaoyan nodded." I am."”
When the woman heard this, she turned her head and looked back. The group of concubines laughed like flowers.
Then, they walked forward and bowed to Zhu Gaoyan.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Zhu Gaoyan wasn't too surprised to be recognized. His age and luxurious attire made him very recognizable.
"Do you know the way out of the palace?" asked Zhu Gaoyan.”
Imperial Concubine An, the woman who asked Zhu Gaoyan just now, said,""Your Highness, we can't leave from here. We can only leave through Baohe Palace.”
"But if you are in a hurry, this concubine knows another way out of the palace. This concubine is willing to lead the way for wangye.”
"This concubine is also willing to lead the way for your highness."
"I'm willing."
The other concubines also rushed forward.
Most of them were beauties from Korea or other places.
Zhu Di was old and had not visited a new concubine for a long time.
Therefore, this group of women had been in the palace for a long time and had never seen a man in their lives.
Seeing the handsome and cute Zhu Gaoyan, she was excited and curious.
Just like that, Zhu Gaoyan walked out of the palace, escorted by a group of concubines.
At the same time.
Outside the Hall of Peace, the Han Princess Consort also brought Zhu Zhanhe to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Wangfei, the emperor is currently receiving guests. Please return first.”
The eunuch Little Snot tactfully rejected the Han Princess Consort's request to enter the palace.
Consort Han did not give up and asked again,""Eunuch, please help me pass a message. Tell him that I have a very important matter to see the emperor and see if I can make an exception.”
Little Snot didn't say anything and turned around to return to the palace.
The Han Imperial Consort was upset.
Since she couldn't see Zhu Di, she couldn't ask Zhu Zhanhe to plead for mercy.
Perhaps the Han King's Residence would be sealed for the rest of its life!
Just as the Han Princess Consort was at her wit's end, she happened to bump into Zhu Gaoyan, who was leaving the palace with a group of concubines.
"Fourth Bro!"
Seeing Zhu Gaoyan, Princess Consort Han's eyes lit up.
Then, he brought little Zhu Zhanhe to Zhu Gaoyan.
"Fourth Brother, quickly bring Second Sister-in-law to the palace!”
She knew that with Zhu Gaoyan leading the way, no one would stop her.
However, what she did not know was that the Han King was locked up by Zhu Gaoyan himself. Why would he plead for her?
Moreover, he did not have much interaction with the Han Princess Consort.
She was obviously bullying Zhu Gaoyan's young age by using her status as an elder.
Zhu Gaoyan couldn't be bothered with such a person.
However, before Zhu Gaoyan could refuse, Imperial Concubine An spoke first.
"Oh, isn't this the Han Princess Consort?"
"What did you eat for lunch?”
"Those who know that you're begging the young prince. Those who don't know might think that you're trying to kidnap the prince.”
Han Wangfei's face was ashen.
"Zhang Cai, this has nothing to do with you. Get out of my way!”
Noble Consort An giggled, laughing so hard that she was shaking.
"Indeed, it has nothing to do with me, but this is the harem.”
"As the princess consort of the Han Dynasty, why aren't you staying in the Han King's residence, but running to the harem?”
"Oh, right, the Han King's Mansion is sealed now. Mmmm ~"
Consort Han's face instantly turned as black as a pot of charcoal, and she was so angry that her entire body trembled.
Zhu Gaoyan watched them bicker with interest.
It had to be said that Noble Consort An's mouth was indeed vicious, specifically picking on the pain points of the Han Princess Consort.
However, the Han Princess Consort was clearly not a good person. After her anger subsided, she sneered with a cold face,"Humph! That's still better than you."
"Zhang Cai, I remember that you've been in the palace for six years. Have you not even seen the emperor's face?”
"You're almost twenty, and I pity you. Won't it be lonely to stay alone in this high wall courtyard for the rest of your life?”
Imperial Concubine An's expression immediately changed when she heard this.
"I don't need your pity, pity yourself first!”
"As far as I know, the Han King likes to run to this harem when he has nothing to do.”
"Han Wangfei, don't hold an umbrella when you go out, just wear a hat!”
"You!"
......
What followed was another intense argument.
In the end, the Han Princess Consort did not get any benefits from the quarrel. She gritted her teeth and left.
Zhu Gaoyan was happy to see this result.
Glancing at the sky, he walked straight to Baohe Palace.
......
At this moment, in the hall.
Zhu Di and Sun Ruowei's conversation also came to an end.
Zhu Di stroked the jade ring and asked,""Miss, what do you think of that little guy?”
Sun Ruowei didn't think too much about it and answered loudly,"Not bad."
"Although he can be a little mischievous occasionally, he is very intelligent and far-sighted.”
At the garden party that day, Sun Ruowei had already discovered the Startling Salamander.
Although the Startling Salamander did not wear the silver mask in order to disguise its identity, she remembered its slender legs very clearly.
When the assassin attacked, she saw the Salamander kill the assassin.
At that time, she guessed that this was Zhu Gaoyan's arrangement.
This was also why she said that Zhu Gaoyan had wisdom and foresight.
Zhu Di was silent.
After a long time, he asked the last question.
"Miss, did that little fellow hide anything from me?”
............
Tomorrow at noon sharp, kneel!!
