King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 221 Sisters-in-law 2
"Relying on Her Royal Highness's intelligence, I can only give a little persuasion, and I really dare not claim credit!" Baochai replied very humbly.

Yang Qingyin said with a smile: "A meritorious service is a meritorious service. I will remember it in my heart, and I will reward you together in the future!"

Before Baochai could thank you, Yang Qingyin continued to say: "The crown prince wants to invite Sheng'er as a guest, so you can take Yuan Chun to tell Sheng'er!"

"Yes!"

"It's nothing, you all go back!"

"Yes... my son will leave!"

Having talked too much today, Yang Qingyin is also very tired at the moment, and at this moment he issued an order to evict the guest.

When the three of them bowed and retired, Chen Zhi and Yuan Chun walked in front, while Baochai followed behind alone.

After leaving the main hall and coming to the spacious courtyard, Chen Zhi stopped and turned around, looking at Baochai who was following behind.

"It's said that a fair lady is a gentleman, and it's no wonder our thirteenth brothers value Miss Xue so much!"

If the opposite side is not the princess, Baochai will definitely go back, but unfortunately there is no if.

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. The little girl was lucky enough to save the Thirteenth Master in Jinling, so she was taken care of by the Thirteenth Master!"

"Really? I don't think it's that simple. I heard that you are still teaching old Shisan how to play chess?"

Looking at Yuan Chun who was on the side, Chen Zhi's smile became brighter: "I know Thirteenth Brother, he has always been a person who can't sit still, he is willing to sit down and learn chess with peace of mind, it shows that you have... something special! "

In the end, Chen Zhi saved face for Baochai and didn't speak too bluntly.

The two of them were devoted to wooing Zhu Jinghong, and giving Baochai face is equivalent to giving Zhu Jinghong face, Chen Zhi still thought of this.

"Baochai, Your Majesty asked you to take me to see Sheng'er, so let's not delay here!" Yuan Chun concluded.

But Chen Zhi said: "Sooner or later, it's not too late. Are you only allowed to talk to your cousins, but not me to chat with Miss Xue?"

Caught between these two people, Baochai felt dizzy for a while, because this was a completely innocent disaster, and she was just a little servant!

At this time, Yuan Chun said: "Whoever said that you are not allowed to talk, but my sister is shy, I am afraid I will make you laugh!"

Baochai didn't speak at all, because she couldn't afford to offend these two.

"Shy? Fortunately, my sister is still related to Miss Xue, but she doesn't know her at all. To be valued by the empress mother... How can it be like you said!"

"Okay, okay, I can't say enough about you, if you have something to say, just say it, I'll just wait!" Yuan Chun quit the chat with a smile.

In fact, it's not that she can't say no, it's all because she is the prince's side concubine, and she doesn't have enough confidence to face Chen Zhiran.

"I said girl, it's rare for the thirteenth brother to calm down, you have to tie him up and let him learn some poetry and classics, so as not to be caught and beaten by the Holy One again!"

Tethered him?Does this sound too strange?
"Your Majesty, what the Thirteenth Master likes is beyond the control of the courtiers!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Don't be modest. If you can make Thirteenth Brother calm down and study, you have already made merit!"

"A Sheng'er, a thirteenth brother... It's really hard for you. In the future, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. We can't let the heroes feel cold!"

There is no doubt that Chen Zhi wanted to win over Baochai and exert influence on Zhu Jinghong through her.

I heard that Princess Rui is warm-hearted, but now it seems that she is as good as the rumors... Baochai secretly thought.

Having such a judgment is not to blame for Baochai's stupidity, but for Chen Zhi's brain circuit to go around in such a big circle that normal people really can't figure it out.

"Okay, okay, I won't delay you anymore, we will still have a chance to talk in the future..."

After saying this, Chen Zhi turned to Yuan Chun who was at the side, and said slowly, "Sister, I'll take my leave first!"

"Sister, go slowly!"

On the surface, the two sisters-in-law are very harmonious.

However, when Chen Zhi left the Kunning Gate, Yuan Chun withdrew his smile, looked at Baochai beside him and said, "Sister Xue, she is the most sweet-hearted swordsman, you have to be on guard, and be careful not to be used by her!"

Baochai nodded, of course she would be wary of Chen Zhi, and at the same time...she didn't trust Yuanchun too much.

Because there are not many people in this palace who are trustworthy.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for the reminder!"

Hearing this, Yuan Chun smiled and said, "What lady? I'm your aunt's cousin, just call me elder sister!"

"Yes!"

"By the way, I heard that Baoyu has been following a lot of rules lately, is that true?"

Yuan Chun still cared a lot about this younger brother, but for the sake of avoiding suspicion, she had little communication with the Rongguo Mansion, so she was not very clear about the changes in the family.

Last time about Jia Zhen's matter, Donggong was belatedly aware of it, but fortunately it ended properly in the end.

"Recently, uncle has stricter control over him, brother Bao has behaved a lot!"

Baochai said so, but in fact he sneered at Jia Baoyu.

The man's family doesn't want to make meritorious deeds, and he hangs out among Yingyan's fans all day long. She doesn't like such a person at all.

As a cousin, she originally had some love for Jia Baoyu, so she disregarded her dignity to persuade Baoyu.

Who knows that this guy doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. Since the last quarrel, Baochai has only regarded Baoyu as a passerby.

"That's good. He has been gifted since he was a child. If he devotes himself to studying in the future, he will have a bright future!"

Listening to Yuan Chun's words, Baochai had other thoughts.

In her opinion, if the crown prince becomes emperor, Jia Baoyu will have a future even if he is worthless, but if...

During the time she stayed in the palace, Baochai heard and saw a lot, and she already knew the situation of the royal family very well.

From her point of view, whether the crown prince can ascend the throne is unclear, so she only thinks Yuan Chun is too naive.

In fact, Yuan Chun is very clear about these truths, what he just said is just a sister's good expectations for her brothers.

When he was in a good mood, Yuan Chun pulled Baochai and said, "Let's go, let's go see Sheng'er!"

"Sister, please!" Baochai was extremely polite, she knew her identity very well.

The two entered the hall, and when Yuan Chun explained the situation, Zhu Yunsheng jumped up happily.

Being locked within the palace walls, her desire for freedom is unparalleled, and she is naturally happy to be able to go to the East Palace for a visit.

"In the afternoon, you all go along the way, we can talk together!" Zhu Yunsheng said to several attendants.

"Sister-in-law, when are we leaving?" Obviously, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't wait.

At this time Yuan Chun asked: "Have you finished all your homework today?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask them!" Zhu Yunsheng pointed to the attendants.

When Yuanchun called Zhu Yunsheng to leave, Zhang Xin, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, came to Chengming Courtyard alone.

Entering Zhu Jinghong's courtyard, a group of young eunuchs finished their work and were chatting in the sun on the porch.

"Eunuch Zhang... why are you here?"

It was Yu Hai who spoke, Deng An went to Shanglin Garden today and left him to "watch the house".

"Is the Thirteenth Master here?"

Yu Hai replied: "The Thirteenth Master is in Shanglin Garden. If the father-in-law has something to say, he can speak directly, and the younger one will send someone to convey it!"

Zhang Xin replied: "The crown prince hosted a banquet in the afternoon and invited the thirteenth master to the East Palace to enjoy the flowers!"

Zhu Yunsheng was asked to act as a cover, so Yuan Chun invited him to make it more "fanciful".

As for inviting Zhu Jinghong, it should be low-key, and it is best to let Prince Rui feel that the invitation is on the way.

I saw Yu Hai ordering the little eunuch beside him: "Chen San, go to Shanglin Garden and bring the words to Lord Thirteen!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xin interjected at the right time: "I'm waiting for Xin'er here, I must bring the message with me, and I must remind Lord Thirteen to come over on time!"
