Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but be a little funny, worried that he was old before he was twenty years old? Just kidding, the twenty years old in my eyes is just a freshman or sophomore, and he is completely young and in his prime!

As for some people in later generations who say that "the ancients aged fast", in fact, it was a misunderstanding, ordinary people working hard may of course age quickly, and the ladies in fine clothes and jade food and even Her Royal Highness the Princess, why do they age fast? To put it mildly, even cosmetics are pure natural and handmade products, what reason is there to age faster than modern people?

It is reasonable to say that the ancients sometimes died unexpectedly from some diseases that were incurable at the time, but it would be too much to say that they grew old quickly. In the ancients, those who aged fast must have been people and women who lived hard, and they could not be "meat eaters" with fine clothes and food. The material conditions that the ancient upper class society could enjoy, except that there were no high-tech products of later generations, were actually no worse than those of later generations.

To use an inappropriate analogy, when Huang Zhiting got married, there were nearly 300 maids who accompanied the marriage, and these 300 girls even belonged to their own masters, which is unimaginable in later generations, right?

It can also be imagined that the more ancient times, the greater the difference in the social resources enjoyed by people of different ranks, and the difference in this aspect in later generations is relatively small - even if you are a rich man on a private jet, you will not prepare thousands of servants for your own family, right?

Let's just say that Princess Yongning, who is in front of Gao Pragmatic, Gao Pragmatic looks at her and has just taken off her childishness, and even this is mostly due to the reason why she deliberately dresses maturely.

Thinking of maturity, Gao Pragmatic noticed that Princess Yongning's hairstyle today is coiled.

For the ancients, long black hair was not only a part of the body, "but also a tenacious psychological carrier with great folk inertia". The grass and trees of the mountains and the hair of the people, the importance of the ancients to the hair is difficult for later generations to imagine.

As the last feudal regime established by the Han people, and the restoration of China by the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to the rectification of etiquette that did not conform to the customs of the Han nationality at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, and adopted and restored the systems and customs of the Tang and Song dynasties. Judging from the available data in later generations, although the hairstyles of women in the Ming Dynasty were not as rich and diverse as those in the Tang and Song dynasties, they also had distinctive dynastic characteristics.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the hairstyle of the previous dynasty was continued, and during the Jiajing period, women's hairstyles were innovative: "peach heart bun" was a popular hairstyle at this time, and women first combed their hair into a flat circle, and then decorated the top of the bun with flowers. Later, it evolved into a gold and silver filigree tie, and the hair bun was combed high, and the top of the bun was also decorated with jewels, jade, jade, and emeralds. There are many deformed hairstyles of "Peach Blossom Bun", such as "Peach Spire Bun", "Goose Guts Heart Bun" and "Fallen Horse Bun" imitating the Han Dynasty.

In addition, women in the Ming Dynasty also often used wigs as decorations, which were half higher than the original buns, and were worn on the real bun to tie the hair with hairpins and then decorate the head. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the styles of this kind of hair accessories were more abundant, with various styles such as "lazy combing hair", "double flying swallows", "pillow loose", etc., and even made into finished products and sold directly. In addition, headbands have also appeared, i.e., forehead bands, peony heads, double snail buns, etc. are also popular.

Princess Yongning is probably because she has no chance to leave the palace, and her hair today is not trendy, it is a more common peach heart bun, with eight gold threads on the hairstyle, dotted with some pearls, graceful and luxurious.

According to the pragmatic aesthetics, this hairstyle looks good, but it is actually too formal, and Princess Yongning herself has a tender face, and this kind of hairstyle and makeup has some little girls deliberately pretending to be mature.

Perhaps finding that Gao Shishi's expression was a little teasing, Princess Yongning was a little nervous and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I was thinking, you don't look the same as when you first met, you just changed your hairstyle, how can you have this kind of thought?"

Princess Yongning was relieved, but asked, "Do you remember what kind of hairstyle I wore when we first met?" ”

"I remember, it was a double screw bun, and very little gold thread was used." A high pragmatic memory does seem to be good.

Princess Yongning listened happily and secretly thought: It turns out that he noticed me at that time.

Then he asked, "Which one do you prefer?" Before Gao pragmatically answered, he added: "Now many people in the palace are learning peony heads, do you know?" It's the kind that came from Suzhou, and I've heard that many literati like it. ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "You look good when you comb it out." ”

Princess Yongning was sweet in her heart, but she said: "Nonsense, they said that the peony head needs too much hair, even if it is kept until the age of thirty, it may not be enough, so they have to buy a wig." I've also had people pay attention, but haven't bought it yet. ”

Of course, Gao Pragmatic had seen the peony head, but the wig seemed too exaggerated to him, and he didn't like it very much. This peony head is a kind of high bun, which is indeed popular from Suzhou, and then gradually spread to the north. You Dongshi said: "I heard that Jiangnan is one foot high, and the six palaces compete for the peony head." ”

People say that it is so heavy that it can not raise its head, and describes its hair as tall, actually about seven inches, with fluffy sideburns and smooth buns, and double locks of hair at the back of the bun. This kind of hairstyle is generally padded with wigs, otherwise most of the normal people's hair volume is not enough.

"It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, that hairstyle is a bit exaggerated, which is a symptom of Jiangnan's gradual hypocrisy." Gao said lightly: "I still prefer to be natural." ”

Originally, Princess Yongning didn't care when she heard him comment that the peony head was a little "exaggerated", but as soon as she heard the second half of the sentence mention that this was "the false manifestation of Jiangnan Xinxue", she immediately woke up and immediately said: "It turns out that this is influenced by Xinxue, so I won't buy it." ”

Hey? The little girl is very sensible.

Gao pragmatic saw that the opportunity was good, and the topic had been smoothly diverted, and said very skillfully and naturally: "Let's sit down and talk...... I came back all the way from Ningxia in a hurry, and I was a little tired. ”

Originally, Princess Yongning was reluctant to let go of the hand holding him, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she was still more worried about his body. After all, in her opinion, Gao Pragmatic is a scholar, and the scholar led the troops on an expedition of thousands of miles, and fought so fast, it was not easy to think about it. Now it's back in the dust, and it's right to be tired.

She quickly let go apologetically, and skillfully helped him to walk to the chair, and said, "I forgot you to go back to Beijing, I'm sorry." ”

"Where, the fourth princess doesn't have to be like this." Gao Pragmatic said as he said secretly: Strange, Her Royal Highness the Princess's support is very natural...... Oh, yes, her hand is probably practiced on Empress Dowager Li.

Wonderful, I actually enjoyed the treatment of the queen mother!

But as soon as he was done, he immediately discovered the problem, and Princess Yongning seemed reluctant to go away—Gao Shishi's chair was the main seat, and if Duke Yongning was to sit in the guest seat, it would be at least five or six feet away from him. However, the main seat is usually one on the left and one on the left, Gao Shishi sits on the left hand, and there is another one on the right hand side across the coffee table.

Originally, Gao Pragmatic saw that the princess was not far away, and planned to let her sit on the right hand, anyway, it was just the two of them, and if they didn't pay attention to it, they wouldn't pay attention to it, and it was not a big deal.

But he looked at Princess Yongning again, and found that her eyes were always looking at his legs, and even bit her lip slightly, as if to cheer herself up. Gao pragmatic suddenly understood, simply patted his thigh, and said first: "Come, sit here." ”

Princess Yongning was overjoyed, and hurriedly sat down cautiously with a red face, looking like she wanted to sit but was afraid of being too pragmatic, very delicate and lovely.

In fact, where is she heavy. Although this girl was born with golden branches and jade leaves, her psychological situation is really bad. In addition to planting some flowers, vegetables and fruits in the palace, she is talking to the queen mother or queen of the two palaces, and the rest of the time she is suffering from lovesickness, and she doesn't even know if worshipping the Buddha is sincere.

With such a state of mind, how can it be possible to gain weight. According to Gao Shishi's visual observation, she seems to be a little clearer than the previous time she was in Baiyulou. It seems that she said that she didn't even dare to sleep well these days, but she was afraid that it was also true.

Although Gao Pragmatic didn't have any love impulse for her earlier, he couldn't help but soften his mind at this moment, feeling that this girl didn't say anything else, at least this friendship was really full of red gold, and there was no other intention.

With a high and pragmatic status and even wealth, even if it is a maid in the house, there are many people who are willing to recommend their own pillows. However, Gao Pragmatic knows that this kind of mind does not belong to love.

Princess Yongning is different, no matter how high his status and wealth he is, he has nothing to do with her, she neither needs nor can count on her. The only reason why she can do what she is doing today is probably what she herself said.

Of course, as an eldest princess who is nominally "widowed", she can say such things, which in turn shows that her mentality is really close to collapse, and she is beginning to show signs of desperation.

Gao Pragmatic suddenly remembered that Princess Yongning in the original history died of depression at the age of only twenty-seven or eighteen. When Princess Yongning died, the palace maid who gave her a funeral was saddened to find that she was still a virgin. It's a pity that she hasn't even seen what her "husband" looks like.

As a highness the eldest princess who has surrendered and is the emperor's half-sister, this fate is too tricky.

Gao pragmatic felt something, took the initiative to hug Princess Yongning's slender waist, sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, and he stopped talking, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Princess Yongning seemed to see his intentions, leaned lightly on his shoulder, and whispered: "You should have words, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, only a shadow to whom." ”

Gao Shi sighed, his other hand passed over his chest, gently patted her fragrant shoulder, and said abruptly: "The world can only see me Wendeng leader, Wuding north and south, there are many reputations, but I don't know that I am not as courageous as a woman in a deep palace." ”

"No, Gao Lang." Princess Yongning immediately raised her head and looked at him fixedly: "You are the best person in the world, no one can compare to you, I don't allow you to say this." ”

Gao Shishi smiled bitterly: "If I am really that good, I should have tried to destroy the ...... before you surrendered earlier."

"How can I blame you for this?" Princess Yongning shook her head and said: "At that time, you were commanding the battle in Monan, and even I knew that this matter was so important that you were too late to return to the capital division...... Chen Hong's dog slave is to blame for this, why do you blame yourself? ”

Gao was about to speak, but Princess Yongning reached out and pressed his lips gently, and said: "Moreover, after you returned to Beijing, you also acted immediately, not only against the prestige of the queen mother, but also with a plan to deal with Liang ...... The family who deceived the king also did it, I can't thank you too late, how can I blame you? ”

The princess spoke, leaning gently on Gao Shipra's shoulder again, and placed it on his side.

Gao Pragmatic sighed and didn't say anything more, in fact, he didn't feel good in his heart.

At the beginning, if he was angry, he did design to avenge Princess Yongning, but if it was really true, this reason could account for half at most. The other half, in fact, he took advantage of this opportunity to let Zhu Yijun successfully take back power from the hands of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and since then he has really been in power and reigning in the world.

To say that this is killing two birds with one stone, of course, there is nothing wrong with killing two birds with one stone, but in Gao Shishi's own opinion, it is inevitable that he will still use Princess Yongning to do so. And what made him even more guilty was that he took advantage of such a big tragedy, which was even more indescribable for Princess Yongning.

In fact, Zhu Yijun's guilt for Princess Yongning didn't arise because of this? Originally, although Princess Yongning's surrender had such a big incident, it was not his brother's responsibility to do so, it was the Empress Dowager Cisheng who chose the wrong manager, and he, Zhu Yijun, the imperial brother, did not need to feel guilty.

However, because they agreed to the pragmatic plan, the two monarchs and ministers took this "opportunity" to not only bring Chen Hong to justice, but also forced the Empress Dowager Cisheng to continue to maintain the status of regent without face, and together with the Empress Dowager Chen, the power of the court was completely returned to the emperor. Although this matter is a highly pragmatic idea, how can it be done without the consent and cooperation of the emperor? And isn't this practice taking advantage of this tragedy of Princess Yongning?

It is precisely because of this guilt that he will imply that Gao Pragmatic can "approach" him, his own sister, who is nominally "widowed", and even the face of the heavenly family is not scrupulous here - although it is only between him and Gao Pragmatic without scruples, but it is already extremely rare, and it has been unique in the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Gao Shishi looked at the fourth princess who was curled up in his arms like a kitten, and suddenly looked away.

Go TM with caution! The emperor only explicitly asked me to "take care" of his sister, and Lao Tzu still thinks about it!

has made so many great achievements, in any previous dynasty, she is worthy of a princess!

What are you afraid of, people are sent to their arms by themselves, but Lao Tzu is disrespectful!

Gao Shishi took a deep breath and said softly: "Fourth princess, although I originally had something important to ask you today, but I'm not in a hurry now, I remember another thing to tell you." ”

Princess Yongning was quietly counting his heartbeat, and she refused to look up at this time, but just whispered lazily: "Hmm." ”

Gao Shishi's hand around her waist increased slightly, and gently said in her ear: "See Xinzhai has my bedroom." ”
