King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 209 I Just Want to Learn to Play Chess

Although it was nothing to Zhu Jinghong, even if he was hit by a board, it would not be a big problem if his body was hit ten times.

And the news of his being beaten easily spread to Kunning Palace. At this moment, Yang Qingyin was checking Zhu Yunsheng's homework.

Hearing the news, Yang Qingyin said with a cold face: "This bastard...just gets beaten less!"

"How dare you tell lies and take your sister out of the palace, it's outrageous!"

Hearing his mother's reprimand, Zhu Yunsheng, who was writing, defended, "Mother, I instigated this matter, and it has nothing to do with Brother Thirteen!"

"What doesn't matter? This bastard has taught you badly!"

The more she talked, the more annoyed she became, Yang Qingyin said coldly: "You are from a daughter's family. If you don't learn how to read and follow him, what will you look like?"

After all, she is the queen, with all the firepower at the moment, how could Zhu Yunsheng dare to make any more excuses.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qingyin glanced at Baochai and the others again, and said with a stern expression: "And you, why don't you persuade her? The chosen ones enter the palace to serve as attendants, not to fool around with her!"

Hearing the reprimand, the three of Baochai quickly knelt down, their expressions full of fear.

There is no doubt that the three of Baochai are under tremendous pressure, after all, they are not the queen's own daughters.

"I praised you a few times in the past, do you think you are favored? Can you be proud of being favored?"

These words were even more severe, which made the three of Baochai feel more anxious, and felt that they could be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind.

The majesty and prestige of the queen's mother, let alone a few little girls, even those top-notch wives, their legs trembled in fear when they heard it.

Just when Baochai and the three of them were living like years, they heard someone outside report: "Qi Niang Niang, the thirteenth master is here!"

"He still has the face?" Yang Qingyin became more and more annoyed.

Seeing that the queen changed the subject, the three of Baochai suddenly felt their pressure was greatly relieved, secretly thinking that this master came too timely.

After Yang Qingyin finished speaking, she heard a voice shouting from outside the house: "Mother? My son is here to greet you!"

The next moment, I saw Zhu Jinghong limping in, looking a little... deliberate.

The so-called knowing son is like mother, Yang Qingyin knew that this guy was in good health, and the slaves of Dongchang knew how to measure, so it was impossible to fight like this.

"Old Shisan, if you don't have the right shape, you can go to the East Factory to get another [-] boards!"

The queen's words are a decree, and if it is true, it must not be violated.

"Mother, what do you mean by that? It's fine for the old man to scold his son, but why are you like this..."

"So what? You still have the face to argue? Who told you to take Sheng'er out of the palace?" Yang Qingyin stood up, her expression becoming more and more unkind.

"Mother...Xiyuan is also in the imperial city, and the guards are heavily guarded, so nothing will happen!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was still arguing, Yang Qingyin was so angry that she laughed.

She also knew what was going on, and she didn't intend to use reason to persuade her at this moment, so she said bluntly: "Old Shisan, it's fine if your father punishes you this time, if there is another time..."

"You break your son's leg!"

Let Zhu Jinghong say everything, and Yang Qingyin can't say anything.

Walking to Yang Qingyin's side, Zhu Jinghong picked up the teacup and handed it to the old lady: "Mother, my son has been punished, and you don't say you feel sorry for him, it's really chilling!"

"Han Xin? You are chilling!"

"Why are they kneeling, are they welcoming me? This is too polite!"

Zhu Jinghong really didn't know the situation, so he ordered: "You all get up!"

Without the Queen's words, how could the three of Baochai dare to get up.

"Get up, you don't listen to him very much!"

The queen's words made Baochai and the others even more timid, so that their heads became even lower.

Although he sensed that something was wrong, Zhu Jinghong didn't care so much, he said with a laugh: "Even the empress asked you to get up, how dare you resist the edict?"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong did not avoid suspicion, and directly reached out to help the nearest Baochai.

Being supported by his shoulders, Baochai was suddenly petrified, and he was stunned for a while.

She raised her head subconsciously, and saw Zhu Jinghong's face close at hand, looking at her with a smile on her face.

Well, what's wrong with this, men and women can't kiss each other... Baochai's face was flushed, and she wanted to break free but couldn't move.

As for Zhen Qin who was at the side, seeing this scene felt like a knife was twisting her heart.

Zhen Qin secretly sighed that she shouldn't be too "cowardly" to shrink back, if she knelt in front of her, she would be lifted up.

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong did not let go of Baochai, Yang Qingyin couldn't help but snorted coldly.

After releasing Baochai, Zhu Jinghong gave a dry laugh, and came to Zhen and Yang, stretched out his hands and said: "Get up, get up... My mother is a bodhisattva, so I can see that you are like this!"

At this time, only Yang Qingyin said: "Get up!"

The tone was calm and steady, it seemed that the queen was no longer angry, Baochai and the three felt the pressure disappeared.

"Let me just say... my mother has a heart of a Bodhisattva!"

Just as the empress was about to teach her a few words, there was another report from outside: "My lady, the ladies have arrived and are waiting to be summoned outside the palace gate!"

These people were summoned by Yang Qingyin, so they naturally wanted to meet them now.

So she said: "Tell them to go in, and I will come in a while!"

After giving these instructions, Yang Qingyin instructed Zhu Yunsheng a few more words, and then drove Zhu Jinghong away.

"Mother, my son will leave immediately, you go first!"

"I can warn you, don't spoil your sister again, otherwise..."

Supporting Yang Qingyin to go out, Zhu Jinghong quickly answered: "Yes, break my leg... you should hurry up!"

Seeing his younger son's generous appearance, Yang Qingyin suddenly stopped being angry, and even felt a little cute looking at him.

"Be honest with me!"

"I know, I know...Mom, go slowly!"

After sending Yang Qingyin away, Zhu Jinghong turned around and entered the hall, only to see that Zhu Yunsheng had already put down his pen and was calling for the maid to bring her some snacks.

"Hey, Miss Xue..." Standing at the door of the room, Zhu Jinghong waved at Baochai.

Although feeling embarrassed, Baochai turned around and walked over.

"What happened just now?"

"You still say...the empress is angry because of sneaking off to Xiyuan!" Baochai's tone was full of complaints.

But Zhu Jinghong said: "So, I came here to save you?"

Baochai was choked for a moment, and secretly sighed that the person in front of her was really thick-skinned.

However, at the next moment, Zhu Jinghong started to attack again, took Baochai and walked out of the house.

"Let's go, let's go... I came here today to learn how to play chess from you!"

Unprepared, Baochai was pulled out by him. Although he tried his best to break free, it was useless.

"Someone, let go!" Baochai lowered her voice, her tone full of anger.

Seeing that she was really going to get angry, Zhu Jinghong let go and said, "Miss Xue, don't take offense, I'm just in a hurry!"

"Go... let's play chess!"

In the aisle of the hall, seeing that there were no one around, Baochai said coldly, "Young girl has little talent and learning, so she is not worthy to play chess with the thirteenth master!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile; "Miss Xue, you are so impersonal. I just saved you...you just flirted with me?"

"Leave aside the one who saved me, doesn't it mean that Master Thirteen doesn't know the difference between men and women?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong nodded: "Of course I know that there are differences between men and women. For example, men have beards and women, men have more strength and women have less strength, and men pee standing up..."

Before Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, Baochai glared at her coldly, the anger on his face could not be concealed.

"If the Thirteenth Master speaks frivolously again, the little girl can only die to preserve her innocence..."

Seeing Baochai's determined expression, Zhu Jinghong quickly replied: "Young lady, why are you here? I just want to learn how to play chess... nothing else!"
