In the attic that could be seen on the surface of Yanque Lake, Zhu Gaoxu stood behind the railing and stopped for a long time.

He lingered here, neither feeling nor understanding, only an indescribable mood flowing in his heart, roughly including inexplicable comfort, but not so leisurely and relaxed.

A sight and smell of such a place. The beautiful and open scenery comes into view, with water, mountains and pavilions, but it is not as ethereal as the mountains. ......The faint sound of the waves on the lake was always in the air, and there were even bursts of gunfire in the distance from time to time. Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, this situation and this scene are not a good artistic conception, but a little more popular.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Enhui beside him and saw that she was looking at him. Enhui touched Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, looked at him and chuckled, and then looked back at the scenery as well.

But he continued to look at the favor. There was wind in the attic, the front of her dress was attached to her body, and the straps of her skirt were fluttering in the wind, and the plump and smooth body outline made Zhu Gaoxu a little more impetuous. He recalled that when she was about to hang herself, he was surprised to see her, and it was no wonder that he was still amazed in that nervous mood.

Enhui's expression was a little unnatural, and she seemed to notice Zhu Gaoxu's eyes in the afterglow. Quietly, she gently raised her hand and wrapped it around her arms. She has always been like this, and she seems to be a little resistant, but she will not refuse Zhu Gaoxu. This kind of half-pushing, half-pushing, without pretentiousness, is indeed a manifestation of her heart.

The woman who is almost impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with is also a completely hostile person to Zhu Gaoxu. But her heart is constantly changing, and it has gradually become a delicate relationship today. Zhu Gaoxu saw her twice last time and felt that she was different from before. After experiencing the guilt entanglement of the past, and a period of time pinning her love on Buddhism to escape the world, now she seems to have gradually seen a little.

In the previous conversation, she hinted at the old affairs of the Jianwen Dynasty, but she also avoided talking about it, but said that she was a little worried about Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu probably felt her changes from such a relationship.

"I can't be as indifferent as Gao Xu, and I can't do that." Eunhui's voice came from the wind, and she didn't turn her head, still looking ahead.

Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "Is Enhui talking about fame?" ”

She nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and said, "Our angles are different. What I care about is the actual ruling order, so I can give up some things. What you care about is very complicated, and you don't have to choose. ”

Eunhui probably thought his words were a little interesting, and turned her head to look at him.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Most people in the world don't care about the grievances of the royal family, they only care about whether they can live and work in peace and contentment, live in peace, and live better." Of course, there are also people who want to grasp this kind of questioning, and most of them have other intentions, but now looking around the inside and outside, the people who have the strength to think cranky have almost been eliminated. ”

Enhui turned to face Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Sometimes I think Gaoxu's mind is really different. ”

Zhu Gaoxu explained: "I have a wide range of knowledge, and I have seen everyone, but I am not only a believer in the teachings of the Confucian scholars. ”

Enhui was quiet for a while, and sighed lightly: "Yes, suddenly looking back, Gao Xu has already sat on the four seas and has become the last person to win. ”

Zhu Gaoxu stands

Ke said: "People can't fully control their fate, and I also have a lot of luck by chance. If it weren't for the help of grace and wisdom, I would have died in the palace by the time the first emperor died. ”

Eun Hui's beautiful eyes glared at him and complained, "You don't have to always mention that incident. Even if I hadn't told you about the secret passage, my future would be over, and the end would be worse than it is now. As soon as you say it, it's as if I'm disgusting, and you're just trying to repay the favor. ”

"Of course not, I won't say it." Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Eun Hui didn't smile, she whispered, "My life is already sealed, and it should have been destroyed a long time ago." Gao Xu's heart has been for me from the beginning, and I have survived until now, but I never want to admit these things that should not be done. ”

"Don't think about it." He glanced at the position of the sun, and said, "I have to go back to the palace before the latest time today, so let's go into the house and talk." ”

Without saying a word, Eunhui followed him into the room next to the corridor, and she then closed the door gently. Zhu Gaoxu heard a "crunch" sound, and when he looked back at her, the two looked at each other silently. They had been talking smoothly before, but suddenly they fell silent.

The weather was excellent today and the sun was shining outside. The room on the attic is very well lit, and even when the door is closed, the room is bright......

When Zhu Gaoxu left Yanque Lake and returned to the imperial city, it was already past the time of duty, and he went straight to the palace of the concubine.

In Du Qianrui's place, Zhu Gaoxu is more relaxed, and Du Qianrui never asks him who he is close to. Because she didn't say it, he didn't know if Du Qianrui could detect something about him, just like Miaojin's nose.

Du Qianrui personally cooked, and prepared four dishes and one soup according to the emperor's daily dietary specifications. Among them is a plate of braised salted fish, the dried sea fish is not fresh and usually not delicious, but Du Qianrui's cooking skills are excellent, and the cooking is still very delicious.

Zhu Gaoxu got on the table, had a good appetite, and ate a lot. After a while, he saw that Du Qianrui was looking at him intently, so he raised his head and said, "Look at what I'm doing, you also have to eat enough." ”

Du Qianrui picked up the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "How is the food cooked by the concubine?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "It's very delicious." The seasoning of this fish is very heavy, but after eating, it is a little sweet and refreshing, which is amazing. ”

Du Qianrui said softly: "The saint is quite good at eating, and the concubine put some sugar." ”

Zhu Gaoxu often slept in the open during the army, unless he deliberately paid attention to etiquette at the banquet, and when he was relaxed, he returned to his nature, and he was a little rude when he ate, and soon he was full.

He sat on the chair contentedly, looking at Du Qianrui's delicate appearance, only to feel that her skin was particularly white and delicate, her soft red lips were delicate and shiny under the light, and her figure was petite, but it was exquisite. Zhu Gaoxu looked at it for a while, and said in his heart that no matter how the world changes, what people want is nothing more than the word food and color that the ancients said.

After dinner, the palace ladies came in to clean up the table and serve tea. Zhu Gaoxu excitedly asked Du Qianrui to teach him the rhythm, and Du Qianrui asked the female official to fetch things to the dining room.

In the past few years, he has been learning this intermittently, and the people who taught him were not only Du Qianrui, but also Yao Ji. The music scores of various rhythms are different, and Zhu Gaoxu's teachers are all women, and what he learned is pipa scores.

Many officials are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but most of the current clans do not know how to play and sing. Zhu Gaoxu is no exception, his calligraphy is good,

I just don't know the rhythm. This is also the reason for Taizu, Taizu doesn't like the clan nobles to play and sing, and thinks that this thing is not a proper job, but now no one cares about those rules.

After Zhu Gaoxu came into contact, he found that he seemed to have a little talent in this area. He hadn't had the opportunity to try out all kinds of knowledge before, so he didn't know what he was good at.

The two of them talked and laughed, full of interest. The female officials and palace maids in the palace of the concubine watched from the side, and everyone was in a good mood; The women don't want to compete for favor regardless of the occasion, and the people in the Concubine Palace are quite willing to see Du Qianrui be favored.

Du Qianrui taught for a while, and then played and sang a song for Zhu Gaoxu. is worthy of being born in a teaching class, her bright eyes, beautiful and accurate posture and movements, all make Zhu Gaoxu indulge in a good feeling.

On a clear and quiet night, the relaxing atmosphere seems to be wafting through the night with the melody of the pipa.

As the night deepened, Du Qianrui collected the pipa and music scores. Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the dining room with her and walked from the corridor to the dormitory.

Tonight's sky was full of stars, Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the sky, and suddenly remembered something he wanted to do, and almost completely forgot about it. He thought about liberalizing the draconian laws of astronomy, in order to develop navigation; Because navigation techniques such as star positioning and sextant mostly relied on astronomy, and the imperial court strictly forbade the world to learn celestial phenomena before.

Confucianism's philosophical interpretation of imperial power has become more and more perfect, and the emperor corresponds to heaven. Therefore, later dynasties were very sensitive to celestial phenomena, for fear that the world would use celestial phenomena to interfere in court politics and even plot against them.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that he could let the three legal departments of the imperial court and the local prosecutors relax their convictions in this regard, and only investigate those who had to combine celestial phenomena with power. Purely stargazing, the government can turn a blind eye.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu also thought about making glass and developing telescopes, but later delayed until now because of other things. Whether it is telescope stargazing or the development of microscopes, it can improve people's observation ability, which is of great benefit to the development of science.

People have the high-temperature technology of burning paper ceramics, and glass is nothing more than burning quartz, which does not seem to be a great technology. It's just that Zhu Gaoxu was a vassal king when he came, and at first he didn't need to make things like glass soap, so he didn't bother to arrange them. In terms of utensils, the world aesthetically prefers translucent glass or delicate ceramics, and no one is specifically thinking about this thing. Zhu Gaoxu felt that he should guide it.

"Is there a businessman who makes bronze mirrors, is there anyone who is famous?" Zhu Gaoxu asked Du Qianrui beside him.

Du Qianrui immediately replied, "Yes, the Xue family in Huzhou has been famous all over the world since the Song Dynasty. The women of dignitaries and dignitaries all love to use the mirrors made by the Xue family. ”

"Sure enough, it's women who understand these things." Zhu Gaoxu smiled casually.

Du Qianrui chuckled and said, "Many men are also particular about this thing. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Concubine Shu saw Du Erlang and asked him to do a private matter for me, contact the people of the Xue family to cooperate with the imperial court, and make one thing." ”

Du Qianrui nodded and said, "The concubine remembers." ”

Zhu Gaoxu remembered that "Translation Collection", someone was inquiring about the source, and once again realized that there might be trouble if he didn't pay attention. However, this kind of thing is also normal, if the emperor knows everything, or if it is a new insight that has never been seen, it is indeed a bit difficult to understand.
