The Crown Prince of Great Zhou, Zhao Jie, was the direct descendant of the high empress.
Empress Gao chose to enter the palace at the age of twelve, gave birth to Third Prince Zhao Jie at the age of eighteen, and gave birth to Seventh Prince Zhao Yao five years later.
That New Year's Eve, the palace was set ablaze with fireworks. The five-year-old crown prince held onto the loving empress in one hand and the imposing emperor in the other as he ran towards the resplendent fireworks that filled the sky.
The painters in the palace had drawn this picture of His Majesty the Emperor, but no one knew that far off in a remote corner of the great palace, a baby was leaning against a well-dressed woman.
Riding on a black steed, Justice was leading the charge. Behind him, a group of guards followed. The dust and dirt on their flying horses' hooves was like a long stream of yellow silk.
Immediately after, there was the sound of rolling wheels being rolled, and from within the yellow silk, a carriage appeared. The carriage was carved with a crane pattern and was covered by a blue veil. The small window on the side was ajar, and one could vaguely see that there was a colored soft couch in the sedan chair, and the faint shadow of a person could be seen within.
In front of He Zhou Manor's gate, Meng Guangmei led He Guangkun and her two daughters, Yun Zhen and Yun Chi to the front.
Seeing the carriage stop, Justice and the horse hurriedly dismounted from their horses. The curtain of silk beads was opened, but a young girl came out. She was wearing a thin gauze dress in such a cold weather. She smiled as she got off the carriage.
The man at the door was stunned. He hesitated for a moment before calling out to the driver, "Young Master, please get off the car."
Another rustling sound came from the sedan, and another woman wearing a crane coat jumped down from the sedan.
He Guangkun's gaze swept past the two women and landed on the carriage curtain that was moving slightly with the wind. Suddenly, he felt that he seemed to be the same person as the crown prince.
The nearby side door slightly opened a crack, and Jin Xiaotao squeezed her face out to peep outside.
The side room didn't have the qualifications to welcome guests, so she and Golden Fragrance secretly opened the door to see if there was anything new.
The sedan chair's curtain was opened once again. A man wearing a green embroidered robe with pine, bamboo, plum, and dark black clouds walked out of the sedan chair.
And justice immediately bent over and knelt down on one knee.
Without looking at justice, the man stepped on his shoulder and got out of the car.
He took two steps towards the Residence of He, then turned around and said righteously, "Call me Young Master Huang."
He Zheng quickly cupped his hands and said: "Please, Young Master Huang, I have prepared some dishes and wine …"
Before he could finish his words, the man had already embraced the two beauties on his left and right: "What lowly subordinate? He, Sir, is the third young master of a mere merchant family who is disrespectful to the world. Don't forget your status."
While he was admonishing justice, the man shouted, "It's cold, it's cold. Your place here is to the south, much colder than the capital." They entered the Residence of He.
Golden Fragrance followed behind Jin Xiaotao and asked, "How is it, has His Highness come out yet?"
Jin Xiaotao was already dumbstruck. The crown prince was indeed the crown prince, and the aura he exuded caused her heart to palpitate and legs to soften. She only regained her senses after a long while: "He has already entered the palace."
Golden Fragrance gritted her teeth and knocked Jin Xiaotao: "Why didn't you call me earlier!"
Saying so, she tugged at her skirt and walked inside.
Jin Xiaotao pulled back her head and closed the door, she walked behind Golden Fragrance while feeling weird, why did she feel that she had seen the crown prince before?
Why did that handsome face seem so familiar?
He then shook his head. That was the crown prince, how could he possibly have seen him before?
Perhaps it was in her dreams that she dreamt of many immortals. The crown prince was probably the same as those immortals.
Golden Fragrance walked to the pavilion next to the main hall. There were two other pavilions next to the main hall. The Western Warm Pavilion was used for changing clothes before meals, and the East Warm Pavilion was currently preparing the dishes.
The maidservants placed the wine and delicacies inside the pavilion and presented them one by one.
Golden Fragrance took advantage of the moment when the maidservants were serving to sneak a peek. The Crown Prince's profile was like a ridge under the setting sun, intimidating everyone.
The two beauties who came with the crown prince and the crown prince's attendants left together. Golden Fragrance had already heard that the crown prince Zhao Jie had no manners and had no manners since he was young due to the empress's love.
One of the favorite things to do was to gather a variety of beauties to be raised in the Eastern Palace. Golden Fragrance didn't expect that she would bring two beauties with her on this tour.
She had guessed that the crown prince had come because of the battle at Wuli River, but she was afraid that it was not so. Otherwise, how could he bring a woman with him during the battle?
Golden Fragrance peeked at the Crown Prince while pondering about how she could attract the attention of the Crown Prince.
In the main hall, Zhao Jie was seated on his seat. After using two mouthfuls of food, he lost interest and said: "You don't have a wall of warmth here? This hall is too cold. I think we should push this hall over tomorrow and build a new wall of fire. It will be as warm as summer with charcoal burning in the winter. "
Righteousness's face momentarily turned red as he beckoned with his hand. "Hurry up and hand over two heat stoves to Young Master Huang. Call for Xing Sen and have him heat up some more in the hall!"
"Don't!" Zhao Jie hurriedly said, "The furnace is burning so much, I can choke on it really badly!"
Inside the pavilion, Golden Fragrance suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed Jin Xiaotao's wrist, "Help me drive away everyone in the East Warm Pavilion. Before even an incense stick of time, don't let anyone in."
With that said, he took out a silver coin from his waist and stuffed it into the hands of Liusu, who was about to send the wine over: "I'll give this wine for you!"
Before Liusu could react, the tray in her hands had already been taken away. Golden Fragrance carried the tray out of the curtain and sat on it.
Golden Fragrance lowered her head, even though she always prided herself on her courage and intelligence, when she approached Zhao Jie, she was still trembling uncontrollably.
She pinched her own palm fiercely with her fingertips, turned her face and gave a slight smile, then said softly: "Young Master Huang, if you feel cold, then drink some wine to warm your body."
The rest of the people in the seats were shocked, they raised their heads, and saw that the person who came was an inconspicuous Little Maid. They became even more anxious, and stood up abruptly: "Where did this girl come from? Xing Sen! Pull her out of here! "
Golden Fragrance had already predicted that Old Master He would be angry, so she pretended to be afraid that her hands would be unstable as she spilled wine all over Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie squinted his eyes and stood up, he turned to look, and what entered his eyes was a pretty face.
Golden Fragrance had purposely dressed up for the day. She had put on makeup and wore a silk dress that had dew on it. She had originally been long and smooth, but when she disguised herself, she had a unique charm to her.
It was just that with such looks, it was unknown how many times Zhao Jie had seen his like this.
Taking the chance that Zhao Jie was standing, Golden Fragrance stuck her hand onto him in an instant, wiping the wine on his robes with her hand. Raising his head with a hint of a smile, he softly said: "Young Master Huang, trying to warm up is not only a way to drink wine. I have another new method, I don't know if you would like to try it."
Golden Fragrance's tone and manner when she said these words were like a red apricot that was about to fall, swaying on the branches.
Xing'er, whose color was originally not too pleasant to look at, was now swaying back and forth, causing Zhao Jie to want to have a taste.
Just as Xing Sen was about to pull Golden Fragrance away, Zhao Jie opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you leaving so quickly? Your clothes are already wet, and you aren't going to change for me?"
Xing Sen was stupefied in front of him as he looked towards the Old Master He.
Golden Fragrance reached out to Zhao Jie's hand before justice even started to speak, "Young Master Huang, please go to the Warm Pavilion to change."
With that, he led Zhao Jie into the Eastern Warm Pavilion.
There was a brazier in the Winter Warm Pavilion. Because the pavilion was small, it was much warmer than the main hall.
Zhao Jie immediately took off his cape and looked at the tulips.
The golden fragrance was very white, and at the moment it was tightly wrapped, revealing only a circle of white grease around her neck. The golden fragrance was very white, and at the moment it was tightly wrapped, revealing only a circle of white grease around her neck.
This figure was extremely graceful.
"Do you know who I am?" Zhao Jie asked.
Golden Fragrance reached out her hands to help Zhao Jie take off his wet clothes, and her delicate fingertips unintentionally swept over the man's chest and arms.
He then turned around and used the silk handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from Zhao Jie's hair, and moved his finger to his ear. I can't help it, young master. "
Zhao Jie held Golden Fragrance's hand: "Don't you have a new way of warming yourself? "Tell me, if it's not fun, don't blame me for …"
Before he finished speaking, Golden Fragrance had already placed two of her fingers on his lips, "Young master, you are the son of a wealthy family. If you know about walls of fire and furnaces, do you know about … Warmth from the muscle of incense? "
"Warm incense?" Zhao Jie was really interested, "Just by listening to the name, you can tell that it's a fun trick."
"Does Young Master not want to give it a try?" Golden Fragrance pulled Zhao Jie's hand and placed him inside his clothes.
His ice-cold hands were wrapped around the woman's warm and soft skin, touching that light and tender skin, this was the first time Zhao Jie felt such interest.
With his fragrant muscles warming up, Zhao Jie lowered his head and covered Golden Fragrance's lips.
