King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 224 Baochai: Lord Thirteen, please respect yourself!
The two brothers chatted for a while, and then a eunuch came to ask if they wanted to start serving food and wine.

At this moment, the sun has already set to the west, and it is indeed time to start the banquet.

Hearing the voices not far away, it was obvious that Yuan Chun and others had also arrived, so Zhu Jingyuan ordered: "Let's have a banquet!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch here went down to prepare, and Yuan Chun and others had already arrived, and Zhu Jinghong had to sit at a table alone according to the etiquette.

There were three tables in the attic, Zhu Jinghong consciously went to the left table, and the one on the right was reserved for Zhu Yunsheng.

After a few breaths, under the guidance of Yuan Chun and Wang Yi, Zhu Yunsheng and others went up to the attic.

"Brother Thirteen, why are you here!" Zhu Yunsheng exclaimed.

"Third Sister, what do you mean, you don't want to see your Thirteenth Brother?"

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "In a few months, I will move out of the palace, and it will be difficult for you to see me by then!"

In March next year, he will hold the coronation ceremony, after which he will have to move out of the palace to live, and then living in the palace will be worse than living in the palace.

Introduced by Yuan Chun to the banquet, Zhu Yunsheng complained: "Brother Thirteen, I don't mean that, why do you always misunderstand me!"

At this moment, the prince said: "Okay, don't make trouble as soon as you meet, you are not children anymore!"

Seeing Zhu Yunsheng looking at the prince, he said aggrievedly: "Fourth brother, Thirteenth brother always misunderstood me, you have to take care of him!"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said: "He has a thick skin, how can I control him, you might as well go and beg your father!"

"Fourth brother, what you said is meaningless. Is there such a thing as cheating on my brother?"

The three sisters chatted happily, while Baochai and the others kept to themselves and sat on the chair behind Zhu Yunsheng.

"Is that the thirteenth master you mentioned?" Qiqige asked Zhen Qin.

From her point of view, the person in front just looks better and looks taller than the others, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like he has undue courage.

At this moment, Zhen Qin has committed a nympho again, and suddenly wakes up when she hears Qi Qige's words.

Zhen Qin said solemnly: "That's right... this is the number one warrior in the world, the third son of the current emperor, my thirteenth master of Ming Dynasty!"

Only a nymphomaniac would give Zhu Jinghong such a name, and Baochai and his wife couldn't laugh or cry.

"The number one warrior? I don't think it's anything special!" Qiqige snorted.

"What do you know?" Zhen Qin replied immediately.

Hearing the quarrel between the two behind him, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help turning around and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Zhen Qin was about to tell the truth, but Baochai took over the words: "Return to the princess, they are talking about Junggar!"

It is inappropriate to say what Zhu Jinghong said on this occasion, so Baochai covered it up.

"About Junggar? Who of you know about that over there?" Zhu Jinghong asked curiously.

At this time, Zhen Qin stood up, and said in a tone of asking for credit: "Master Thirteen, of course we know, because there are Junggar people here, they look down on our Daming very much!"

"Oh? Who?"

Although it was a question, but Zhu Jinghong's eyes turned to Qiqige, because the temperament of the other party was too different.

"It's her!" Zhen Qin pointed to Qiqige.

"Well...he came from afar, you should take care of him more!"

Originally, Zhu Jinghong planned to ask about the situation, but the occasion seemed inappropriate, so he suddenly turned around and said this.

Even if you don't get along with Qi Qige, since it was Zhu Jinghong's suggestion, Zhen Qin was the first to respond: "Master Thirteen, don't worry, I will take good care of her!"

At this time Zhu Yunsheng complained: "Brother Thirteen, this is the person in my room, you are too lenient!"

Zhu Jinghong laughed twice, but didn't say anything more, because what Zhu Yunsheng said was indeed reasonable.

But at this moment, footsteps sounded again on the attic, and it was Zhu Jingyuan's two sons.

"Yo... Eldest nephew, come and sit down!" Zhu Jinghong took the initiative to greet.

In this version of history, there is no such thing as Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Zhanji, so the title of "big nephew" is still serious.

Zhu Jinghong's table was relatively empty, and his uncle asked, and Zhu Muchun and his brother sat down as promised.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong said: "I said nephew, look at you, you know how to read all day long, what can you do when you grow up?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was astonished. Only Qi Qige agreed with it very much, and felt that Zhu Jinghong's words were very reasonable.

Zhu Muchun replied: "Uncle Thirteen, how can you say it's useless to study the etiquette and broaden your knowledge!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan on the side was very relieved, his son did not disappoint, and his mother should be relieved that she is alive.

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles... You can't spend all your time in the study. If you have time to practice bow and horse with your thirteenth uncle, that's fun!"

Finally, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't listen anymore, and immediately said: "Thirteenth brother, you should say a few words less!"

There was no other way, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to change the subject and talk about life with his two nephews.

As the exquisite dishes were served, the sound of music outside sounded, and the banquet had officially begun.

The two brothers tossed and exchanged glasses, and it didn't take long for them to drink a pot of wine.

Zhu Jingyuan was already drunk, while Zhu Jinghong was holding the wine jar, wanting to have another drink with his brother.

"Ten...thirteenth brother, I can't drink any more, tomorrow... tomorrow I have to host the banquet!"

"Hey...you'll be fine after a good night's sleep, fourth brother, what are you afraid of!"

"I... really can't drink it!"

Hooking Zhu Jingyuan's neck, Zhu Jinghong filled another glass and said, "Fourth brother...it's just a glass of wine. If you don't drink it, you won't give brother face!"

The two brothers were drinking, and the female relatives present were at another table. Yuan Chun couldn't bear to watch the situation at this moment.

"Thirteenth brother, please spare your fourth brother, he is unconscious!" Yuan Chun said.

And Wang Yi, who was more "intimate", got up and walked towards the prince at this moment, and took the teacup from his hand.

"Thirteenth brother, you can't drink any more, the prince's body can't bear it!"

Zhu Jinghong was fine, seeing that the prince was really not good enough, he took the wine jar and walked away knowingly.

While Yuan Chun and the other two were taking care of the prince, Zhu Jinghong went to Zhu Yunsheng and the others.

"Third Sister, let's have a drink!"

"Brother Thirteen, then I'll replace wine with tea, please!" Zhu Yunsheng was extremely free and easy.

"Please!"

After the two had finished drinking a glass, Zhu Jinghong filled another glass with the strength of the wine, and then looked for Baochai behind him.

"Miss Xue, Master Xue... I have to toast you!"

Hearing this sentence, Baochai was very frightened, she was qualified to ask Zhu Jinghong to toast.

On the other hand, Zhen Qin, who was at the side, had already taken the initiative to refill the cup, waiting for Zhu Jinghong to find her next time.

Baochai got up and took two steps back, her expression was full of fear: "Master Thirteen, I can't afford to be a little girl!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled, and stretched out his hand to grab Baochai, but he took a few steps back.

"Master Thirteen...please respect yourself!" Baochai mustered up the courage to say this.

Although she fell in love with Zhu Jinghong, being molested in front of so many people was unacceptable to her.

At this moment, Zhu Yunsheng put his hands on his hips and said, "Brother Thirteen, don't bully Sister Bao, be careful and I'll sue you somewhere!"

Thinking of the old man's face, Zhu Jinghong suddenly became sober.

"Third sister, Miss Xue taught me how to play chess, so she can be regarded as my teacher. Isn't it right for the apprentice to respect the teacher?" Zhu Jinghong argued strongly.

Who knows that Zhu Yunsheng said coldly: "Brother Thirteen, people don't want to drink with you, so can the apprentice make things difficult for the master?"

"Ah... it seems to make sense!"

Based on this, Zhu Jinghong turned around and looked at Baochai with an apologetic face: "Miss Xue...it's Zhu who is being abrupt, don't blame me!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong backed away, and he planned to talk to his two nephews about life.

This disappointed Zhen Qin who was looking forward to it, and sighed why the Thirteenth Master didn't come to have a drink with her, but she had a lot to say to him.

However, at this time, Qi Qige picked up the wine glass and walked straight towards Zhu Jinghong, and also picked up a jug of wine as she passed the wine table.

"Master Thirteen, I want to have a few drinks with you!"
