King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 127
As Zhen Qin spoke, the two began to chat.

Although they are family friends, their status and status are basically matched. Although the two girls have never met, they are rare people who can speak in a foreign land.

From why they came to the capital, to chatting about what they saw and heard on the road, and then to childhood fun, the two talked about everything.

Of course, Zhen Qin is unreserved, and even embraces the secrets of the family, compared to Baochai who is much more reserved.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, this time I was selected as the Princess Attendant, with my aunt's help, and I must be among the four spots!"

"Really? Congratulations..."

"You are better than me in talent, appearance and knowledge. You should be selected as a princess servant. I just went to join in the fun!" Baochai said with a regretful attitude.

At this moment, the curtains on the sides of the two carriages were rolled up, allowing them to communicate face to face without worrying about being seen by outsiders.

Seeing Baochai's helpless appearance, Zhenqin was delighted.

Hmph, running for the election without my background, isn't it just asking for fun!

While enjoying the pride brought by the privilege, Zhen Qin comforted her: "Sister, don't underestimate yourself. Although your knowledge is slightly inferior to mine, you are still rare in the world. It should not be difficult to be selected as a servant!"

"Take a step back and say, if you're really at a loss, I'll ask my aunt to ask for favors and ask her to help you. I think I can be selected!"

If Baochai really can't be selected, Zhen Qin really has the idea of ​​helping her, so that the Xue family not only owes her a favor, but she also has an extra helper in the palace.

What plans Zhen Qin had in mind really couldn't escape Baochai's eyes, and the way the other party put himself in her own shoes really made her find it funny.

"Then thank you sister!" Xue Baochai looked solemn.

"It's nothing, we are good sisters!" Zhen Qin became more and more proud.

Immediately afterwards, she waved to Baochai, signaling him to come closer.

"Let me tell you another secret, this time I appear to be running for the imperial court, but I'm actually here to run for the princess!"

"Princess?" Xue Baochai had a strange expression.

"You don't know yet? The No. 13 son of the current emperor will be crowned king next year, and the next step is to choose a princess!"

"Really?"

Zhen Qin lowered her voice and said: "With my aunt's help, maybe next year I will become a princess, and then you and I will not be sisters, but monarchs..."

Hearing this, Baochai felt uncomfortable, but she still complimented her: "So... I hope my sister will get what she wants!"

After saying this, Xue Baochai jokingly called: "Meet the princess!"

"Hey...you can't do it!" Zhen Qin shook her head hastily, but the expression on her face seemed very pleased.

Can such a person really choose the princess?Xue Baochai murmured in her heart, at least she thought it was impossible.

The imperial concubine didn't say anything else, at least she had to be more calm, wouldn't she lose the face of the royal family like Zhen Qin.

Afterwards, Zhen Qin continued to chatter, while Xue Baochai responded frequently and did not take the initiative to say anything.

Besides, Yinglian returned to the palace, and Dang even rushed to Zhu Jinghong's residence.

After entering the house, I saw several young eunuchs serving Zhu Jinghong for lunch under Zhang Ping'an's guidance.

Seeing Yinglian appearing, Zhu Jinghong joked, "Yo... our talented girl is back!"

When she came to Zhu Jinghong's side, Yinglian picked up the teapot, added some tea and said, "Master Thirteen, you will laugh at slaves!"

"How can this be called a joke, I'm really boasting!"

"This servant has only been studying for a few days, but she can only recognize a few words, so she can be called a talented woman!"

"If you really want to talk about a talented woman, then Miss Xue should be called that. It seems that there is nothing in this world that she doesn't know!"

Hearing Yinglian's praise, Zhu Jinghong said disapprovingly, "That's not necessarily the case. For example, odd changes and even stays the same, and symbols look at quadrants, so she doesn't know what they mean!"

"Ah? Master Thirteen, what do you say... nothing will change!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled even more, picked up a piece of crispy meat, put it into his mouth, and said slowly: "After you have learned everything she knows, come and ask me about it!"

"Your servant also wants to... It's a pity that it will be inconvenient to go these two days!" Yinglian was quite annoyed.

"What? Are you arguing?" Zhu Jinghong was a little curious.

Yinglian shook her head: "That's not true, it's just Miss Xue's family, who haven't found a place to live yet, and are worrying about this matter right now, how can this servant have the heart to bother her!"

"So that's what happened, it's a trivial matter!"

"Just next door to where I live, there is still an empty yard, so let them live there!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile on his face: "One is that I promised Xue Pan to take care of his family, the other is that you can ask him about his knowledge, and the third is... well, there are no three!"

"That... Zhang Ping'an!"

Zhang Pingan hurriedly approached, hooked his waist and said: "The slave is here, Master Thirteen, give me your orders!"

"Pass on my words and let the female family members of the Xue family stay in the palace temporarily!"

"Ah... I'm afraid it's not in compliance with the rules!" Zhang Ping'an showed embarrassment.

Zhu Jinghong said indifferently: "Rules? What rules? Is this a palace or a palace?"

"Send the message quickly!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong's unhappy face, Zhang Pingan didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately turned around and went to work.

As for Yinglian who stayed where she was, she was extremely touched at the moment, she just felt that Zhu Jinghong was so kind to her, and she was willing to do things for him that violated the rules.

Continuing to eat, Zhu Jinghong said: "When they move in, you go and ask them what they lack, and if there is nothing, let Deng An get it!"

"Yes!" Yinglian readily agreed.

At this moment, she felt full of accomplishment, and she finally helped the teacher.

Besides, Zhang Ping'an left the palace, and soon found the address of Xue's family, and found Aunt Xue who was worried.

"Mrs. Xue, our thirteenth master learned that you haven't found a place to live yet, and have already arranged a house for you in the palace!"

Zhang Ping'an said humbly, "If you have nothing else to do, please come with me!"

Going to live in the palace, Aunt Xue dared not think about it at all. At this moment, she didn't have any joy, only fear in her heart.

She is just a commoner, how dare she enter the palace, how dare she be a neighbor of the Tian family.

"This...how did it happen, why did it happen!"

Here Aunt Xue was declining, and Zhen Qin, who heard the conversation on the other end, felt uncomfortable.

She is the grand-nephew of the concubine, and she can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. How come no one invited her to live in the palace, and an outsider from the Xue family took the lead.

Why did such a thing happen, Baochai already had the answer in his heart, knowing that Yinglian helped in the middle.

No matter what she said, Aunt Xue really couldn't resist Zhang Ping'an, so she agreed to enter the palace for resettlement.

Of course, the only ones who can go in are the female family members of the Xue family, and the rest of the accompanying men still have to go outside. It is naturally much easier for these people to find a place to live.

"Girl, we should go!" A woman came over to remind her.

Looking at Zhen Qin who was full of grievances, Xue Baochai smiled lightly and said, "Sister Qin, why don't you get in my car and go in with me?"

It was hard to find a place to live outside, so Xue Baochai sent the invitation out of kindness.

I just showed off all kinds of things just now, how can I bow my head at this time, so Zhen Qin immediately refused: "No need, you go on your own, I still have to wait for my brother to come back!"

Zhen Qin's tone changed, she was trying to suppress her grievances not to cry, otherwise she would lose face even more.

"Then say goodbye!"

"Farewell!"

"Sister, go slowly!" Zhen Qin was very polite.
