King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 202 Baochai's Attitude
After the hooligans fled, soon a group of officers and soldiers appeared outside the Qin residence, and followed the pedestrians' guidance to chase after them.

This made Zhang Kui a little worried, afraid that Scarface and his party would not finish the errand well.

So he also chased after him with his entourage, wanting to grasp the situation as soon as possible.

At this moment in the Qin Residence, Qin Ye has been helped into the hall, and Qin Zhong is ordering his servants to find the doctor.

However, Qin Ye only suffered skin trauma, and his body was fine, but what happened just now made him furious.

"Zhong'er... you take people to the Yongsheng County Yamen and sue the Ningguo Mansion for colluding with strong men and intending to murder the imperial court official!"

Without waiting for Qin Zhong to reply, Qin Keqing walked out of the inner house, feeling sorry for her father and at the same time said in surprise: "Father, those people...are sent by the Ningguo Mansion?"

Qin Ye replied sullenly: "Who else can there be except them? The people of the Jia family are so bold, what can they not do?"

Ke Qing was puzzled and asked: "Didn't you say...the Thirteenth Lord wants to help us, and they dare to be so rampant?"

"They are a group of lunatics, what can't a lunatic do?"

After saying this viciously, Qin Ye scolded Qin Zhong who was stuck in place: "Why don't you hurry up?"

Qin Zhong replied helplessly: "Father... it will be dark soon, where is there anyone in the county government at this time? To sue the officials will have to be tomorrow!"

This is really the case, there are no officials in the Yamen, and it is useless for them to go.

"Father...how about not announcing the engagement, my daughter is willing to marry!" Qin Keqing said suddenly.

Qin Ye said categorically, "No, I'm done with this marriage, and I'll go to the Thirteenth Lord tomorrow!"

…………

When the Qin family was in a mess, Zhu Jinghong on the other end had already had dinner, and he and Zhu Yunsheng were talking with the queen.

The queen's health has been poor, and after talking for half an hour after the meal, a tired look appeared on her face.

Zhu Jinghong couldn't help reminding: "Mother... In my opinion, you can just grow flowers and weeds on weekdays, why bother to worship that Bodhisattva again, and tire yourself out for nothing!"

"What do you know, worshiping Bodhisattva is beneficial!" Yang Qingyin replied casually.

Since she moved into Kunning Palace, Yang Qingyin has never stopped worshiping the Buddha 360 days a year.

She was not doing it for herself, but for Zhu Xianming to wash away her sins. No matter how well packaged the incident ten years ago, neither her husband nor she could fool herself.

Of course, these words cannot be said clearly, Yang Qingyin smiled and passed away.

"Okay... let's go back, both of you, and rest early!"

Seeing that the queen was exhausted, the Zhu Jinghong brothers and sisters did not stay any longer, so they all left in unison.

"Son (daughter) leave!"

"Go!"

After leaving the main hall of Kunning Palace, night had already fallen, and it was time for Zhu Jinghong to return to the palace.

"Brother Thirteen, when will you fulfill your promise to me?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Jinghong began to play dumb.

Now he has a lot of things to do, on the one hand, he doesn't have time to take Zhu Yunsheng out, on the other hand, he doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Brother Thirteen, are you going to break your promise? I told them all about it!" Zhu Yunsheng was very dissatisfied.

"Who did you tell?" Zhu Jinghong was full of curiosity.

"Sister Ting, Sister Bao and the others..."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong felt relieved, and immediately said, "You mean... they also want to go together?"

"if not?"

"Sister, in a few days, shall I take you to Xiyuan?" Zhu Jinghong said very simply.

Xiyuan is on the west side of the imperial palace, and its area is larger than that of the imperial palace. There is a huge lake in it, and several palaces are scattered around it.

At this time, Zhu Yunsheng approached and said: "In my opinion... just tomorrow!"

"Why tomorrow?"

After rolling Zhu Jinghong's eyes, Zhu Yunsheng said: "Tomorrow, parents will fast!"

Zhu Jinghong of course knew that the emperor and empress had to fast from time to time, but he didn't pay attention to the specific day.

Of course, this is also irregular, it all depends on which day the old man is free.

The old couple will fast tomorrow, which means that Zhu Yunsheng will be left alone for a day, so it is naturally the best time to go out and play.

In fact, Zhu Yunsheng was not bound by traditional ethics, which also shows that the emperor and empress are enlightened enough.

"Then tomorrow morning, I have to go to Shanglinyuan in the afternoon!"

During these days of training, Zhu Jinghong was not in Shanglin Court every day, and it was not a big deal to be absent for half a day from time to time. Someone below would help him keep an eye on it.

Hearing that Zhu Jinghong agreed, Zhu Yunsheng was overjoyed, and quickly flattered him: "Brother Thirteen, you are so kind!"

"You are my sister!" Zhu Jinghong was full of affection, but he was thinking of Baochai and the others.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunsheng immediately asked: "Brother Thirteen, when are we going to Shanglinyuan? Years ago you said you would teach me how to ride a horse!"

Zhu Jinghong recalled that his predecessor really said these words, and not only promised this matter.

"Third sister, let's talk about this later, let's go to Xiyuan first tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yunsheng replied honestly.

After some exhortations, Zhu Jinghong left Kunning Palace and took Yinglian away along the way, because he had something to do tonight.

And Zhu Yunsheng returned to the bedroom, and his own maid came to serve him.

After washing, he took off his outer robe, and Zhu Yunsheng sat on the bed.

Wrapping herself in a brocade quilt, Zhu Yunsheng ordered to the maid next to her, "Go and ask Sister Ting and the others to come over!"

"Yes!"

After dinner, Baochai and the others considered their tasks for the day to be completed, so they went back to their rooms to rest, serving people was not part of their job.

After getting word from Zhu Yunsheng, the three of them rushed over one after another, and Zhen Qin was the last one to arrive.

"You go out!" Zhu Yunsheng ordered the little maid who was serving her.

"Yes!"

When these people retreated, Zhu Yunsheng waved to Baochai and the others, signaling them to come closer.

"Tell you a secret, let's go to Youxiyuan tomorrow!"

Hearing this, the three of them had different expressions. Yang Jingting was the first to ask, "You Xiyuan? The empress will take us there?"

"Of course not!" Zhu Yunsheng answered casually, just because she didn't like this question.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Qin said: "Princess, without the queen's will, you may not be able to leave the palace!"

Zhu Yunsheng can go anywhere in the palace, but going out of the palace is another matter.

"Don't worry, I've made arrangements, someone will take us out!" Zhu Yunsheng was confident.

"Princess, who can take you out?" Baochai asked, confirming the answer in her heart.

Zhu Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Of course it's Brother Thirteen!"

"Princess, you should be cautious about going out of the palace..."

Seeing that Yang Jingting wanted to admonish her, Zhu Yunsheng was dissatisfied: "Xiyuan is also in the imperial city, why are you more nagging than my mother!"

Being able to go out of the palace to play, Zhen Qin was naturally overjoyed, so she quickly said, "That's right, Sister Ting is worrying too much, this is in the imperial city, nothing will happen!"

Yang Jingting still had doubts about this, so she cast her eyes on Baochai, regarding her as her last hope.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Baochai calmly replied: "Sister Ting, with Master Thirteen taking care of her, she should be fine...it's okay to go to Xiyuan to have a look!"

If it were other circumstances, Xue Baochai would definitely agree with Yang Jingting's opinion, but it is a pity that Zhu Jinghong was involved in this matter.

"Sister Bao, why don't you..."

Before Yang Jingting could finish speaking, Baochai said again: "Sister Ting, it's boring to stay in this palace for a long time, don't you want to go out for a walk?"

The women in the boudoir are all similar, and it is difficult to have a chance to go out if they are confined in the inner house. At this moment, Baochai is telling the truth.

Zhen Qin deeply sympathized with this, and immediately chimed in: "That's right... I'm going to be bored to death!"

This elder sister Bao, who made me meet the Thirteenth Master tomorrow, is not so annoying... Zhen Qin secretly thought.

Yang Jingting said that she couldn't agree with these two people, so she could only calm down, thinking about whether to tell the queen.

At this time, Zhu Yunsheng said with a serious expression: "Sister Ting, I treat you as my own, so don't tell the truth!"
