Gao Chi of the Ming River
Chapter 40 Gao Chi Returns to Beijing
Zhu Gaochi stared at the invitation card in his hand, scratching his head, poetry meeting?
Looking up at Huang Zicheng who was smiling in front of him, Zhu Gaochi pretended to be ashamed, "Master Huang...I don't know how to write poetry."
"The son is too modest. Thinking of Lord Yan, who is both civil and military, how can the son...can't even write a poem?" Huang Zicheng said with a smile, and then frowned displeasedly, "Or the son won't give us the emperor's grandson face?"
Zhu Gaochi looked at Huang Zicheng's displeased face and thought to himself, well, this kind of obviously calculating thing...will come sooner or later, won't it?
Unexpectedly, Huang Zicheng would not dare to act recklessly!
This time, but with his father!
So, Zhu Gaochi smiled naively, "Then...Gao Chi would be more respectful than obedient."
Huang Zicheng couldn't hide a smug smile.
That night.
Zhu Di sat behind the desk and flipped through the letters. Zhu Gaochi walked over slowly with a smile, and handed over the invitation card in his hand respectfully, "Father, Huang Zicheng gave me this today."
Zhu Di took the invitation card that Zhu Gaochi handed over respectfully with both hands, glanced at it briefly, then put it down with a frown, and said displeasedly, "No!"
Zhu Gaochi was startled, confused, why not go?
"Father?" Zhu Gaochi said seriously, "My son thinks that my son should go."
Zhu Di frowned, got up, and looked down at Zhu Gaochi who was serious, "Chi'er, this is a Hongmen banquet!"
"My son knows."
"Then you're still going?" Zhu Di raised his hand and pinched Zhu Gaochi's cheek in displeasure, "Do you think you're too idle to find something to do?"
"Father...you know, my son won't go tomorrow, but I still have to go the day after tomorrow...they are here for my son..."
Zhu Di was silent.
"Father... son will be careful."
Zhu Di clenched his fingers slightly, he knew the current situation, if Chi'er didn't go, he might cause suspicion, but...
He just doesn't want this kid to go! !
He doesn't want to involve this kid in those bad things!
Zhu Di turned around, tore the invitation in half, turned his head coldly and said, "If you let daddy know that you took half a step out of the mansion tomorrow, daddy will break your leg!"
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he strode away.
Zhu Gaochi stared at the invitation card that was torn in two for a long while, and then heaved a long sigh, what the hell is going on, Dad?
His father is shrewd, he should know that right now Grandpa Huang summoned him, Gao Xu Gaosui, and other kings, but did not summon his father, it is clear that there is a problem.
Huang Zicheng invited him in every possible way today, and he also set his sights on him.
Regardless of whether it was the Hongmen Banquet or the Backdoor Banquet, he had to go. Firstly, he could inquire about some things, and secondly, he could also show that their Prince Yan's mansion had no grievances.
Didn't his father see such an obvious thing?
Forget it, his father must be worried about himself again, no matter what, he must go tomorrow!
Picking up the invitation card that had been torn in two, Zhu Gaochi was worried, this... how to glue it together?
***********
The next day.
Zhu Gaochi looked up at the plaque above his head - "Autumn Wind Building".
Very ordinary restaurant...
"Sir!"
When Zhu Gaochi was staring at the plaque and thinking, he heard a soft call.
Turning his head slowly, he saw Huang Zicheng walking towards him with a smile all over his face. The mouse eyes came later than himself?
"The prince came so early..."
Zhu Gaochi smiled innocently and scratched his head without answering.
I think he slipped out today in order to be able to go smoothly, but even Ma Sanbao was thrown into the yard.Alone, he sneaked out from the side door.
Wandering all the way, inquiring all the way, only then came across the Qiufeng Building.
There is no way, his father is very firm, in front of him, he sternly ordered that anyone who dares to let the prince leave the mansion will have his legs broken!
So... Sanbao, I'm sorry.You have a good rest today.
"My lord, shall we go in?"
"Okay..." Zhu Gaochi responded with a smirk, looked around, it was very quiet, and very... normal.
"My lord, where are your followers?" Huang Zicheng looked around and asked in a low voice.
Zhu Gaochi scratched his head and smiled, "I'm greedy, so I asked Sanbao to buy me some pancakes from Dongjie." After finishing speaking, he smiled innocently.
Huang Zicheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed, but his contempt could not be concealed in his eyes.
Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly.It seems to be very successful.
All the way behind Huang Zicheng, he looked around slowly, the more he looked, the more emotional he felt, this Huang Zicheng is really stingy!If you want to treat guests, you can't find a good one, just such an ordinary restaurant... Look, this restaurant is empty and there is no one there!The shopkeepers are all listless!
Or...well, this one that is convenient for accidents?
The smile on Zhu Gaochi's face became even more simple and cute.
After entering the wing room and slowly slipping around, Zhu Gaochi pretended to be confused and asked, "Master Huang, is it just the two of us? Or is everyone not here?"
Huang Zicheng pretended to be surprised, "Your Majesty... Could it be that you didn't hear clearly yesterday? The poetry meeting is three days later, and today, the official is here to entertain you..."
Zhu Gaochi pretended to be stupefied, but nodded in his heart. It seems that his fool's steamed buns are doing well, and Huang Zicheng has made it clear that he regards himself as a fool!
Such a blatant calculation...
Zhu Gaochi was curious, he wanted to see how the mouse-eyed Huang Zicheng planned to plot against him?
**********
And when Zhu Gaochi arrived at Qiufeng Tower...
King Yan's mansion.
Zhu Di stared gloomyly at Zhiqin who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and Ma Sanbao who was kowtowing desperately.
That kid...does he want to have his leg broken? !
bump!
Sweeping down the tea bowl on the table, Zhu Di said slowly in a cold voice, "Before the son comes back, you just have to kneel down to this king!!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di got up and strode outside.
Zhu Neng hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, we have already sent someone secretly to look for the prince!"
"You stay in the mansion! I will find it myself!"
Zhu Neng was taken aback.Immediately understood, the prince is going to use the hidden power in Nanjing city?
*********
"This is?" Zhu Gaochi pretended to be confused and looked at the tea bowl in front of him. Is this... tea?How did he smell the wine? ?
"Your Majesty, haven't you ever drank it?" Huang Zicheng narrowed his eyes, his face was full of smiles, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "My Majesty... this is the best tea offered by the locals this year!"
Okay...tea?
Zhu Gaochi picked up the tea bowl, smelled it, and frowned, it was just ordinary tea mixed with some wine...
"My lord, try it. This is a rare good tea." Huang Zicheng said enthusiastically.
It seems... this is not ordinary wine?
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while before slowly drinking the "special" tea.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, Zhu Gaochi immediately felt that something was wrong, and he was a little dizzy, so he fell down on the table with a slam.
"Hmph! It's really unfortunate for King Yan to have a son like you! Idiot!"
Zhu Gaochi felt embarrassed, did he pretend to be too successful?
"Come on! Move him to the next door! Tell Yan Hong to prepare!"
"Yes!"
Bright red? ……female?Could it be that he wanted to frame him on the charge of hanging around Hualou during the prince's funeral?Hit his daddy?
Zhu Gaochi sighed inwardly, this Huang Zicheng is really cruel enough.
With his grandpa's temper, he will definitely take away their entire Prince Yan's mansion!
After lying on the bed and smelling the woman's fragrance, Zhu Gaochi confirmed that the door was closed, turned over and sat up, and when the woman was about to scream out, he quickly knocked the woman unconscious.
After helping the woman and putting her on the bed, Zhu Gaochi turned around and looked at the window sill where he was about to escape, swallowing his saliva, the second floor... so high...
Coming to the window sill, Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes, took another deep breath, slowly opened them, trembling and climbed to the window sill, looked down, suddenly felt dizzy, nauseated.
Zhu Gaochi regretted it very much at this time, he shouldn't have just passed by in the past few years and failed to overcome his fear of heights...
Gritting his teeth, Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes and jumped down!
When Zhu Di came over in a hurry, he saw Zhu Gaochi jumping down. At that moment, Zhu Di's mind went blank, and he even forgot to breathe.
It wasn't until Zhu Gaochi fell to the ground that he slowly sat up again, and when he stood up, he was relieved. At this time, Zhu Di realized that his heartbeat had almost stopped.
After Zhu Gaochi stood still, he breathed a sigh of relief, casually and slowly patted the dust on his body, turned his head, and Zhu Gaochi saw his father with no expression on his face, staring at him with cold eyes.
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a long while, then smiled shyly, feeling worried, why did his father come here so quickly? ?
"Come here!" Zhu Di said coldly.
Zhu Gaochi moved over slowly, groaning in his heart, it's over, his father seemed very angry with his expressionless face.
After moving to Zhu Di's side, the expressionless Zhu Di pulled Zhu Gaochi over, and then——
Snapped!
Zhu Gaochi covered his face blankly and looked at the cold Zhu Di.
He... was beaten?
Didn't daddy say that he wouldn't hit him again?
"Do you know what you're doing?" Zhu Di's voice was so calm that it couldn't be more calm.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di in a daze.
"Who do you think you are?! Do you think Huang Zicheng can be played with by you at will?!" Zhu Di said in a suppressed angry voice.
Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses, put down his hands covering his face, and slowly lowered his head.
"You don't know anything! Do you think you are helping me?! You are making trouble for me!!" Zhu Di said again in a cold and sharp voice.
Zhu Gaochi's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a tingling pain. Dad thought he was making trouble?
Slowly raising his head, Zhu Gaochi stared at the expressionless Zhu Di seriously, and bowed his hands respectfully, "Father...my son knows my mistake, my son...will not do it again." After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he lowered his eyes again, He said in a low voice, "I have caused trouble to my father, my son will go back and contemplate behind closed doors."
After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he saluted respectfully again, turned around, and walked slowly towards the entrance of the alley with some staggering steps.
Zhu Di watched Zhu Gaochi's back slowly walk away, and squeezed his fingers tightly.
Father? !Son? !
This kid!And lost my temper!
Did he know that when he saw him jump off the ledge, he thought he would...
The little bastard! !
He strode forward and pulled Zhu Gaochi, who was walking slowly and slightly limping, and was about to reprimand, but was stunned when he saw Zhu Gaochi's face.
In the past, Zhu Gaochi always had a calm and smiling face, but... slowly shed tears...
Zhu Di's heart tightened suddenly, subconsciously he hugged Zhu Gaochi fiercely and pressed it on his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't cry!!"
Looking up at Huang Zicheng who was smiling in front of him, Zhu Gaochi pretended to be ashamed, "Master Huang...I don't know how to write poetry."
"The son is too modest. Thinking of Lord Yan, who is both civil and military, how can the son...can't even write a poem?" Huang Zicheng said with a smile, and then frowned displeasedly, "Or the son won't give us the emperor's grandson face?"
