King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 185 It really is a treasure hairpin

[Easter egg at the end of the chapter, everyone can take a look! 】

On any other matter, Zhu Jingyuan may be indecisive, but when someone robs him of his thirteenth brother, he will strike without hesitation.

"Let's chat casually, fourth brother... Could it be that our brothers can't even talk now?"

"Who does Thirteenth Brother Ren want to talk to, do you need to ask for your instructions first? You are too lenient!"

In terms of far-fetched and rebellious, Zhu Jingyuan is far behind the sixth child, and Zhu Jingyuan has been labeled in a few words.

"You... old thirteen, I don't mean that!"

Zhu Jingyuan's reply to this sentence also showed his "stupidity". When quarreling, he couldn't follow the holes dug by others to explain.

Zhu Jingyuan asked back: "That's not what it means, what else could it mean? Fourth brother...Thirteenth brother loves you like an elder brother, you can't treat people like gunmen!"

"You're talking nonsense..." For a moment, Zhu Jingyuan felt a little guilty.

Just because he himself thought that Zhu Jinghong was drawn to take advantage of him, so as a kind person, he would naturally feel guilty.

Seeing the prince's eyes wandering, Zhu Jingyuan was even more sure that his judgment was correct, so he sneered and said, "Are you talking nonsense, you don't know in your heart?"

"Old Six, don't spout blood..."

"Are you afraid that others will tell you if you do it?"

Ever since, the two princes of the mighty Ming Empire had a verbal fight in the corner of the palace wall.

But Zhu Jingyuan is simply "challenging", and Zhu Jingyuan is playing lip service here, on the one hand, he thinks it is fun to tease the fourth child, and at the same time, it is also to impress Zhu Jinghong.

So Zhu Jinghong could only persuade them, and pulled the two of them apart.

Of course, in order not to let the prince worry too much, Zhu Jinghong chose to send him back, which made Zhu Jingyuan's teeth itch.

"This old thirteen, why is he so stupid...won't you want to follow me after being fooled by the fourth!"

Seeing the two of Zhu Jinghong go away, Zhu Jingyuan murmured: "It seems that if we want to win him over... we have to spend a lot of money!"

Now Zhu Jinghong is on an errand, so he can enter and leave the palace, so he sent the prince back to the East Palace at this moment.

As soon as he asked if he hadn't had lunch yet, Zhu Jingyuan insisted on taking him to eat with him.

"Fourth brother, I still have something to do!"

"What can you do? You have to have lunch, why go to other places to delay!"

"But……"

"Thirteenth brother, you can just listen to your fourth brother, he always misses you, and said that you will have less contact when you come back from Jinling!"

Knowing Zhu Jinghong's arrival, Yuan Chun also rushed to the front hall, just to help the prince keep him.

Walking to Zhu Jinghong's side, Yuan Chun said with a smile: "Besides, a few days ago, we were saved from danger with your help. The crown prince has not yet thanked you!"

Sitting on the main seat, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and replied: "Thirteenth brother, talking about what happened last time, now I feel scared when I think about it, thanks to you!"

"I've ordered the kitchen to cook. I have your favorite roast leg of lamb, and..."

At this moment, Yuan Chun directly began to introduce the dishes, all of which Zhu Jinghong likes to eat, which shows that the preparations are very sufficient.

The hospitality is hard to turn down, and if Zhu Jinghong didn't stay at this time, it would seem unreasonable.

Looking at Yuan Chun beside him who was talking and laughing at Yan Yan, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to agree: "Then...thank you Sisao for your hospitality!"

At this time Zhu Jingyuan said: "Don't you thank your fourth brother?"

But Zhu Jinghong asked back: "Didn't the fourth brother want to thank me?"

Zhu Jingyuan received the news of the banquet held enthusiastically in the East Palace as soon as he returned to his residence. He was so angry that he smashed a Song Dynasty Ru Kiln again, which caused Chen Zhi to complain about him as a prodigal man.

While Zhu Jinghong was having lunch, the six people who had passed the re-election walked slowly into the deep palace under the guidance of the female officer of the Shangyi Bureau.

Fengtian Hall, Chongzheng Hall, Qianqing Palace...

One after another tall palaces appeared in front of Xue Baochai one after another, which brought her an unparalleled shock.

It really is the weather of Tianjia, the magnificence is fascinating... Xue Baochai secretly sighed.

In the end, they were led outside the Kunning Gate, and the female official who led the way entered the palace gate to report.

Looking at the tall lintel of Kunning Palace and the exquisite and colorful carved beams, Xue Baochai became more and more curious about the inside.

"Xuan...wait for selection to attend the audience!"

Hearing the call from inside, a group of girls who had undergone temporary training all walked up the steps with their heads down, and walked lightly into the palace gate.

At this moment, on the steps directly in front of the yard, a chair has already been set up, and two female officials from the Shangyi Bureau are standing on the left and right.

Under the guidance of the maids, Baochai's six people stood in a row in the courtyard, each of them lowered their heads and waited quietly.

But at this moment in the main hall of Kunning Palace, the queen is already observing a group of women outside through the screen window.

"Who is Xue Baochai?"

Hearing this, Zheng Ping hooked her waist and replied: "Qi Madam, the second one from the left is!"

"I guess it's her too!" Yang Qingyin nodded.

It's because among these few girls, Xue Baochai's appearance and temperament are all outstanding, so she can't pay attention to it or not.

"Not to mention, this old thirteen really has some vision!"

The queen said to herself, Zheng Ping didn't think she was qualified to answer, so she just laughed and didn't say much.

At this moment, Zhu Yunsheng, who was standing aside, said, "Mother, why don't you just choose this girl from the Xue family?"

"Why?"

The queen's sudden question made Zhu Yunsheng, who was unprepared, at a loss for words.

"Well... because... because of this sister, it seems... easy to get along with!"

"I heard that the old thirteen came to you? Do you want to speak for him?"

"Ah? No...how can this happen!" Zhu Yunsheng quickly denied it.

Ignoring her daughter's lies, Yang Qingyin turned around and walked towards the abode in the side hall.

I only heard Yang Qingyin say: "Come in one by one, I want to ask questions in person!"

"Yes!"

As Zheng Ping went out to deliver the decree, the first girl was brought into the Qianqing Palace.

Every girl who was able to come here is a very good person, but it is unavoidable to be nervous when meeting the queen, and the difference can be seen at this time.

Seeing the first person enter the palace alone, Baochai's heart became slightly nervous, so he looked at Zhen Qin beside him.

But seeing this girl was staring at the bonsai beside her, fascinated by the birds jumping on it, she probably forgot that this was in Kunning Palace.

It's true that stupid people have stupid blessings, but it's a pity that I don't have an aunt who can be a concubine...

But just thinking of this, Baochai thought of Zhu Jinghong, secretly thinking that he also had noble people to help him.

A few minutes later, the first person to be summoned came out. Although the people waiting outside were curious, they could only hold back in their hearts and dare not ask questions.

The second person to be called away was Zhen Qin, who knew that the process for her to go in was even shorter, and she came out in less than 2 minutes.

"Xuan...Xue Baochai sees you!" The female officer's voice was full of majesty.

Hearing the summons, Baochai immediately lifted her spirits, walked slowly towards the steps with lotus steps, and entered the palace under the guidance of the female officer.

Outside the threshold of the side hall abode, there is a yellow cushion, which is obviously the place to pay homage to the queen.

According to the rules learned before, Baochai knelt down slowly on the ground, and then kowtowed and said: "Xue Baochai, the daughter of the people, kowtows to the empress, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Looking at the girl who was dressed in plain elegance and had a very different style among the girls, Yang Qingyin was very satisfied with her first impression.

"Head up!"

Baochai had no choice but to raise her head, but kept her gaze fixed on the ground, just so that the queen could see herself clearly.

Looking closely now, seeing Baochai's icy muscles and bones, and his appearance is also the best choice, Yang Qingyin couldn't help but praise her in her heart.

"You are Xue Baochai?"

"Return to the empress, it is the daughter of the people!"

Yang Qingyin smiled and said, "Baochai...it really is a Baochai!"
