King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 181 Zhu Yunsheng's Condition
Under the escort of the banner guards, Zhu Jinghong entered the capital from the north, and then entered the imperial city.

When he came outside the Kunning Gate, half an hour had passed, which showed the size of the imperial city.

When he entered the Kunning Gate, the queen was nowhere to be seen in the yard. She was usually pruning flowers and plants here at this moment.

"My mother told me to come over, why isn't she here?"

"Go back to Thirteenth Master, Your Majesty is in the back hall, drinking tea and talking with some of you!"

After hearing the report, Zhu Jinghong then asked: "Oh... why did the Empress call me over?"

"This... the slave doesn't know!"

Now that there are foreign ministers around, it is not easy for Zhu Jinghong to break in directly.

At this time, he should have been passed on, waiting for the Queen's summons.

But he didn't do that, just because he was not in a hurry and planned to see his sister first.

"Is the third sister here?"

"Go back to Lord Thirteen, the princess is practicing calligraphy in the room!"

"I'll go and see her first, you don't need to tell the queen mother about my coming!"

"Yes!"

After dismissing the little eunuch, Zhu Jinghong walked towards Zhu Yunsheng's residence.

Kunning Palace is a large courtyard, and Zhu Yunsheng lives in the side hall on the east side.

The side hall has a large space, with more than a dozen rooms including study and bedroom, and several attendants will also live here in the future.

After entering the main hall of the side hall, and signaled the maid on duty to keep quiet, Zhu Jinghong walked carefully into the aisle and came outside the door of the study.

Peering in from the outside, I saw Zhu Yunsheng in a light green double-breasted jacket, sitting on a chair and writing with a pen, beside Yang Jingting who was studying ink.

This girl looks good when she is serious... Zhu Jinghong secretly approves.

After watching for more than ten seconds, the serious people inside didn't notice the situation, so Zhu Jinghong pretended to clear his throat.

"uh-huh……"

Hearing the movement, the two people in the study were startled, and when they looked up, they saw Zhu Jinghong.

"Brother Thirteen!"

Putting down his pen, Zhu Yunsheng got up, walked around the desk, and walked over to meet Zhu Jinghong.

"Brother Thirteen, why are you here!"

"Of course I came to see you!"

"Come to see me empty-handed?" Zhu Yunsheng asked with a smile.

"Forehead……"

There was no way to continue the conversation today, Zhu Jinghong couldn't find anything to say for a while.

Seeing his deflated appearance, Zhu Yunsheng laughed out loud, and then said: "Brother Thirteen, just keep your hands empty, anyway, I'm used to it!"

"Third sister, brother, I am now detained in the palace. I eat and drink just like you. If you want to give you something, you don't think much of it!"

"If you really want to, come with me to Chengming Courtyard later, you can take whatever you like!" Zhu Jinghong said very solemnly.

Zhu Yunsheng curled his lips: "You have swords, guns and sticks in there, not even a few books... What can I take? I think it's better to forget it!"

Seeing that he was being despised, Zhu Jinghong patted his chest and said, "Sanmei, when my brother goes out, just tell me what you want, and I will get it for you if I can!"

Hearing what Zhu Jinghong said, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but become curious, it wasn't like what Brother Thirteen would say.

Being stared at by Zhu Yunsheng, Zhu Jinghong thought there was something on his face, so he couldn't help but wiped his face with his hands.

"Brother Thirteen, there's nothing to be courteous about... What do you want from me?"

Sure enough, no one born in the emperor's family is simple...Zhu Jinghong secretly sighed, and at the same time excluded Zhu Jingyuan.

"Third sister, I really want to tell you something!"

"Speak!"

Glancing at Yang Jingting in the room, Zhu Jinghong whispered, "Let's go out and talk!"

"It's mysterious, just go out and talk about it!"

After Zhu Yunsheng finished speaking, he greeted Yang Jingting, and then went out first, followed by Zhu Jinghong immediately.

When we came to the corridor outside, after Zhu Jinghong screened back to the left and right, Zhu Jinghong looked at our direct sister and asked very solemnly: "Sister, tell me the truth... how does Brother Thirteen treat you?"

Zhu Yunsheng was extremely surprised by such a serious question, and did not understand Zhu Jinghong's intentions.

"Brother Thirteen, if you have something to say, just say it, it's a layman's way!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

Seeing that she was not on the road, Zhu Jinghong didn't force it, so he put away his seriousness and smiled and said, "Sister, I have a small favor... I need you to help me!"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunsheng became even more curious.

"Eh...in two days, I will select the attendants, can you come in person and choose a girl from the Xue family!" Zhu Jinghong said a little coyly.

After hearing this, Zhu Yunsheng said quietly: "There are four servants in total, the Supreme Emperor, Father Emperor, Mother Empress... They have all arranged people, and there is only this one seat left. Brother Thirteen will also make decisions for me?"

These words were expressed calmly, but Zhu Jinghong was speechless.

The arrangement between the Supreme Emperor and the current Empress is certainly impossible to be overturned, so there is indeed only one place left.

If Zhu Jinghong still took over this, it would be really unfair to Zhu Yunsheng.

"Third sister, then... um..."

Zhu Jinghong originally wanted to praise Baochai, but he couldn't find the right words for a while. Talent, learning and appearance are things that the beholder sees differently, and it is not convincing to use it as an argument.

They all vowed to agree to others, but now that things can't be done, wouldn't they ruin their own reputation?
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong became more and more helpless, and couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

Seeing him anxious like an ant on a hot pot, Zhu Yunsheng said: "Brother Thirteen, sister, I am not a hard-hearted person, this favor... It's not that I can't help you!"

"Hmm... What? Really?" Zhu Jinghong was overjoyed.

"It's just that I helped you. If you need anything in the future, don't ignore it!"

Hope appeared, how could Zhu Jinghong not grasp it firmly, and immediately said: "Sister, who do you think Brother Thirteen is? You are my direct sister!"

"What's the matter, as long as the thirteenth brother can do it, you can just order it!"

"really?"

"Really!" Zhu Jinghong said firmly.

Zhu Yunsheng looked around and said in a low voice, "I have something to do recently, and I want to ask you for a favor!"

This made Zhu Jinghong feel very bad, but he still bit the bullet and replied: "Third sister, if you have something to say, you can just say it, don't be polite between us!"

"I heard that Brother Thirteen can enter and leave the imperial city, and now he is leading an errand in Shanglinyuan, and my sister wants to go out for a walk too!"

From birth to now, Zhu Yunsheng spent most of his time in the Kunning Palace, and the largest range of activities was the palace.

Although the palace is big, it will feel small after staying for a long time, so Zhu Yunsheng is very curious about the outside of the palace walls, and it is not surprising that he has the idea of ​​going outside.

"This... is not impossible!" Zhu Jing said nonsense.

"really?"

"True..." Saying these two words for the second time, Zhu Jinghong felt a little difficult.

At this moment, he could finally understand how Prince Zhu Jinghong felt when he sneaked out in Jinling before.

"Then it's a deal, I'll help you with this!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Jinghong was a little out of his mind, he was worried that the emperor's affairs would be revealed, and whether he would be beaten to death by the emperor's old man.

"Brother Thirteen, you won't be afraid!"

Fearing that Zhu Jinghong would repent, Zhu Yunsheng resorted to aggressive tactics.

"Am I afraid? What am I afraid of?"

Even if he is afraid, Zhu Jinghong has to slap his face swollen to look fat, he doesn't want to break his promise.

"Brother Thirteen stands upright, so naturally he is not afraid of anything!"

Zhu Yunsheng raised his hand at the right time, and then asked: "Brother Thirteen, why did you recommend that girl from the Xue family?"

"Because her family saved my life, I promise to help her choose a servant!"

"I see……"

Just as Zhu Yunsheng was about to ask for details, he saw a small eunuch rushing towards him and told him, "Master Thirteen, the Empress, please come over!"
