King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 218 Zhu Jinghong's Harassment
When the emperor arranged the banquet, Qi Qige, the daughter of the Junggar Khan who followed the mission to Beijing, had already been taken to Kunning Palace by the Shangyi Bureau.

After all, it was chosen for her daughter, so Yang Qingyin had to read it first no matter what.

As a child who grew up on horseback, Qiqige has a personality similar to that of a boy, sunny and outgoing and curious about new things.

Growing up in Wangcheng, Qiqige knew Wangcheng in the first 15 years, Wangcheng is the most prosperous city in the world, and Junggar is the most powerful country.

Since entering Beijing with the mission, after entering the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty, she has seen countless cities, big and small, so much so that her worldview has changed.

She never thought that there are so many cities in the world that are bigger than the royal city, and there are countless people living in them.

I thought that the city was big enough before, but when she arrived in Shendu, her cognition was refreshed again.

That tall city, that majestic sergeant, that endless crowd, that row upon row of shops...

Everything, while refreshing Qiqige's cognition, also greatly destroyed her self-esteem.

The prosperity of Daming made her understand what a frog in a well she was in the past.

However, the matter was not over yet. Entering the majestic and solemn palace, the sense of oppression from all directions made her even want to turn around and run away.

At this moment, she misses the ranch in Junggar, the wine from the royal palace, and the people and things she grew up with.

"You wait here, someone will pass you on later!"

"Ok!"

She could understand and speak Daming official Chinese, but she was not yet proficient, so she only used simple vocabulary to answer.

"Don't always say um, say yes!"

The female official of the Shangyi Bureau looked dissatisfied. She didn't care about the other party's status as a Junggar Khan woman, and she had to abide by the rules of Ming Dynasty when she entered the palace.

"Yes!"

When the female official entered the palace gate, Qiqige couldn't help but look around.

The tall palaces and exquisitely carved beams and painted buildings around her will shock her every time she looks at it.

I don't know how long it took before I saw a court lady walk out of the palace gate and said: "Qiqige, the empress announces your audience, please come with me!"

"Yes!"

The one I will meet soon is the hostess of the Eastern World. Although Qiqige has a cheerful and free-spirited personality, she can't help but feel nervous at this moment.

After entering the palace gate, she was led outside the Nuan Pavilion of the main hall of Kunning Palace. When she looked up, she saw a one-year-old woman writing with a pen on the couch inside, surrounded by several female officials.

The queen also has daily affairs to deal with, such as rewards to certain families, review of certain orders to be sealed, and punishment for wrong orders...

Qiqige waited at the door for more than ten minutes, and the female officers who reported the incident retreated one after another, and Yang Qingyin looked at the door.

Her first impression was that the doll was inappropriately dressed, so she asked the maid to find her two sets of clothes.

"come in!"

Perhaps because of being too nervous, Qiqige couldn't even move her legs smoothly, so that she fell when she crossed the threshold.

When the surrounding maids hurriedly helped her up, Yang Qingyin's evaluation of her once again dropped in her heart. Could it be that this girl is not even healthy?
"My daughter Qiqige, kowtow to the empress, a thousand years old!"

Seeing Qiqige salute awkwardly, Yang Qingyin just sighed.

As long as she lowers her expectations, she won't be disappointed. At this moment, her heart has no fluctuations, and she even feels a little pitiful for the girl in front of her.

After all, Qiqige is only 15 years old, and she came to the capital from thousands of miles away.

"Take her down to get dressed, and then take her to Sheng'er's bedroom!"

Hearing this, the female officer at the side reminded: "Your Majesty, what the lord means... Let Qiqige go to the Shangyi Bureau to learn the rules first, and then serve in the palace!"

"No need, this girl is also good at etiquette, learn slowly from the princess!"

The female officer of Shangyi Bureau was not surprised that Yang Qingyin had lost the emperor's intentions, after all, this kind of thing had happened many times.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

After the female officer led Qi Qige back, Yang Qingyin went to the Buddhist hall, and she kept doing her homework every day.

Besides, in the east side hall, Zhu Yunsheng was extremely excited after learning that the last attendant had arrived.

"I heard that she came from Junggar. There must be a lot of new and interesting things along the way, so I just let her tell them!"

Lying on the rocking chair, Zhu Yunsheng said with a satisfied face: "It's boring to stay in the palace all day, so we can relieve our boredom!"

Baochai on the side persuaded: "Princess, it's time for you to study, and be careful that your mother will come to check again!"

Who would have thought that Zhu Yunsheng said shamelessly: "I'm not feeling well, you guys have to testify for me!"

Zhen Qin was the first to respond: "Princess, I will testify for you!"

At this time Yang Jingting also said: "Princess, the Empress Empress Shengming, I'm afraid you can't hide from her eyes!"

"You... Which side are you on? You are from my bedroom!" Zhu Yunsheng was extremely dissatisfied.

"Okay... I'm going to study!"

Baochai was the one who advised her the most here, so Zhu Yunsheng walked to her side and said with a smile: "Sister Bao...please trouble you, go and bring the Junggar woman from the Shangyi Bureau!"

As long as Baochai is sent away, and Zhen Qin makes Yang Jingting too soft, Zhu Yunsheng can work abroad with peace of mind.

Baochai naturally understood her thoughts.

As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Baochai also knows not to offend the princess too much, and appropriate indulgence is also appropriate.

"The princess must study hard!"

"Don't worry, go and go!" Zhu Yunsheng pushed Baochai out of the door.

It was already winter in October, and Baochai unconsciously tightened her neckline when she came out of the hall to face the cold wind.

She has the badge of Kunning Palace, so she can walk freely in the palace, and soon she left the inner court and rushed to the direction of Shangyi Bureau.

"Baochai? Why did you come to my place?"

To go to Shangyi Bureau, you must pass through Chengmingyuan, and when you hear a voice behind you, Baochai knows who it is without looking back.

Turning around, bending slightly to salute Zhu Jinghong, Baochai said, "Master Thirteen, I'm not going to Chengming Court, but to Shangyi Bureau!"

It was cold and windy outside, looking at Baochai's pretty face flushed, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile, "Whether it is or not, you can always sit with me!"

"These days, you taught me how to play chess, and I haven't thanked you properly yet!"

Talking to Zhu Jinghong, Baochai himself does not reject it.

But Zhu Jinghong was accompanied by many eunuchs, and there were so many guards around her, which made her, a boudoir woman, very embarrassed.

Baochai evaded and said: "The Thirteenth Master speaks seriously, and the little girl is ignorant, and she is only talking about superficial opinions. How dare I ask the Thirteenth Master to thank me!"

"This is out of the question, walk around... I have a question and want to ask you for advice!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was about to attack again, Baochai didn't have time to reason. She quickly took two steps back, avoiding Zhu Jinghong's overstretched hand.

Cursing secretly, "Deng Tuzi", Baochai said solemnly: "Master Thirteen, I am ordered by the princess to go to the Shangyi Bureau..."

"Isn't it okay to go a little later? Third Sister asked...just say you were delayed by me!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't let go, Baochai couldn't do anything for a while, how could she resist the other party's high status.

"I wonder if Master Thirteen has any questions?"

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It's a long story, it's cold outside...let's go in and talk slowly!"

"Please!"

"Master Thirteen, please!" Baochai tried her best to guard the etiquette, not wanting people to gossip.

But in fact, she really thought too much. The eunuchs and guards who followed Zhu Jinghong were all beaten and subdued, so how could half of them dare to chew their tongues.
