King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 166
The atmosphere of the ensuing conversation seemed a bit weird, and finally ended after half an hour.

Zhu Jingyuan originally wanted to send Gao Shuyan out, but the latter felt that it was inappropriate. After all, Gao Shuyan was dismissed by the emperor, so he could be called a guilty person.

So Zhu Jingyuan sent him to Yimen, and finally after the two said goodbye again, Gao Shuyan reluctantly walked out of the East Palace.

Go out of the East Palace and turn left, the front is the Dong'an Gate, out of this palace gate is outside the imperial city.

Outside the palace gate, Wang Jinru was waiting, seeing Gao Shuyan coming out, he immediately went up to meet him.

After the two got into the carriage together, they heard Wang Jinru ask: "Mr. Gao, have you said all that?"

"said!"

"What did the prince say?"

Sighing, Gao Shuyan replied: "I think the prince understands, but I'm still worried!"

Wang Jinru nodded, but didn't say anything more, and they couldn't control what happened next.

After calming down, Wang Jinru sighed, "Are you really going to Jinling with me?"

"Could it be fake? Go and see... It's good to relax!"

…………

Besides, in the palace, Zhu Jinghong really felt relieved after learning what happened in the Ministry of Punishment.

At the same time, he had to sigh with emotion that this Hideto Okamoto was a talent, and he turned such a big corner to show his loyalty.

Now that he was relieved, Zhu Jinghong naturally did not intend to be idle, he sneaked out from the school, changed his clothes, and rushed to Xiyuan outside the palace.

Nowadays, the trend of martial arts is relatively strong, and some confrontational games have been derived, such as the popular Cuju and polo.

According to Zhu Jinghong's knowledge, after the Supreme Emperor's birthday, warriors from all over the world will be called to compete in martial arts, including basic riding and archery as well as polo.

For this reason, Daming also selected corresponding people to prepare for the competition, and now they are practicing in Xiyuan.

Xiyuan was to the west of the imperial palace, and it was not far from the Xihua Gate. Unfortunately, before Zhu Jinghong could go out, he was stopped by people from Kunning Palace.

"Master Thirteen, the empress is calling you to have an audience!"

"Didn't you just ask Ann in the morning, why would you send me over at this time?" Zhu Jinghong asked.

"This... the servant doesn't know either!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't really want to go, but he had to. He didn't want to hurt his old mother's heart.

To tell the truth, the queen treated him very well, besides her daily care and time-saving care, she would also bring him food and drink every day, treating him like a child.

In desperation, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to reply: "Forget it, let's go and have a look first!"

When Zhu Jinghong was rushing to the inner court, in the Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace, Empress Yang Qingyin was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

In front of her was a girl wearing a moon-white double-breasted short jacket and a dark green phoenix-patterned horse-face skirt.

The girl was slim, with a delicate and elegant appearance, and was being looked at happily by Yang Qingyin.

"This girl is very good-looking, and some people will believe that she was born by the empress!"

It was Concubine Jia who said this, and she was also the only concubine in the harem, her status was extremely high and noble.

However, these words made Zhu Yunsheng on the side unhappy, since he was clearly his own.

"What's the big deal... Why don't you obediently be my servant and see if I don't make fun of her then!"

Concubine Jia didn't know that her words had already made Zhu Yunsheng jealous and caused Yang Jingting trouble for no reason.

"I came all the way from Gansu, and I have suffered a lot!"

Yang Jingting replied softly: "Going back to the empress, although the journey was bumpy, I saw a lot of scenery!"

Yang Qingyin nodded, secretly thinking that this is a girl who understands etiquette.

"From now on, you don't need to give birth. Just call me aunt. If you want to eat or play, just tell your maid. Don't talk outside!"

"Xie Huang... Auntie!"

"That's right!" Yang Qingyin smiled again.

But at this moment, despite Yang Jingting's demure appearance, she was in a panic in her heart, for fear of doing something wrong or saying something wrong.

Although at home, her mother and the nuns in the palace had trained her for several months, allowing her to master the rules and manners, but she was still a little flustered when she entered the palace.

There is no other, because this is the palace, the most sacred and supreme place in the eyes of the world.

Anyone who comes here for the first time will be overwhelmed by the majesty and solemnity of this place, and it is extremely normal to be in awe.

"Shoufen!"

"The servant is here!"

"Order the Shangyi Bureau to arrange a place for the girl, according to... the regulations of the princess!"

It is a great courtesy to Yang Jingting that the prince's daughter-in-law is named princess, after all, her father is just an idle earl.

"Yes!"

However, all of this made Zhu Yunsheng even more dissatisfied. In the past, he was his mother's darling, but now he was ignored.

"Mom... I'm hungry!"

Turning her head away, Yang Qingyin was dissatisfied: "You child, you only ate fruit, why are you hungry again?"

"You know how to eat all day long, what will you look like when you grow up? Look at your sister Ting, and then look at yourself!"

These words made Zhu Yunsheng even more aggrieved, only that his mother had also changed her mind.

Seemingly realizing that she was speaking too loudly, Yang Qingyin waved to her daughter, who approached her and took her into her arms.

"We need to learn more rules in the future, otherwise it will make people laugh... Do you understand!"

"Understood!" Zhu Yunsheng was immediately coaxed, and put her arms around Yang Qingyin and acted like a baby.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jingting was heartbroken. After traveling thousands of miles to this strange place, she also wanted to cry in her mother's arms.

At this time, the queen said: "Jing Ting, from now on you will study with Sheng'er, you are a big sister... you have to show the demeanor of an elder sister, if she makes any mistakes, just teach her a lesson!"

Seeing Zhu Yunsheng's unhappy expression, Yang Jingting carefully replied: "My niece will serve the princess wholeheartedly!"

Yang Qingyin could understand her niece's caution, so she changed the subject and asked other questions, and learned more about Yang Jingting.

The more she talked, the more satisfied Yang Qingyin became, and the softer she looked at Yang Jingting.

"When you stay with Sheng'er in the palace, it's just like being at home. In the future, you don't have to be too restrained when you study and joke together..."

At this moment, Concubine Jia had bid farewell and left, apart from the serving maids, there were only Yang Qingyin and three people left in the room.

As they were talking, Zhu Jinghong had already arrived outside Kunning's gate, and he saw Yinglian waiting at the gate at a glance.

"Master Thirteen..."

Yinglian ran down the steps. At the moment, her attire was the same as that of ordinary court ladies, but she was more calm than before.

She was in Kunning Palace these days, and because of Zhu Jinghong's relationship, the queen took good care of her.

"Yinglian, are you waiting for me?"

"Exactly, what the empress ordered!"

Zhu Jinghong then asked: "You suddenly called me over, why?"

Immediately afterwards he asked again: "Is my father inside?"

Ying Lian smiled and said: "Master Thirteen, don't worry, the Lord is not here, there is another distinguished guest coming!"

"An honored guest? What an honored guest? Is there someone more expensive than the Zhu family?" Zhu Jinghong was extremely puzzled.

"A girl is here, it seems to be... the young lady of Yongtai Bo's family!"

Of course Zhu Jinghong knew who Yong Taibo was, after all, this was the brother of the empress of the dynasty, and a serious uncle of the country.

"His lady is here? What are you doing here? Is it related to me?"

"This... the servant doesn't know!" Yinglian said with an innocent face.

Zhu Jinghong smiled, and then asked: "I'm going to sweat again this afternoon, you have to come over tonight, I can't take a bath without you!"

Although Yinglian was staying in Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong did not miss her, so Yang Qingyin turned a blind eye to this.

With her face flushed, Yinglian nodded slightly.
