King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 246 Jealous

Qiu Liang is the father of General Qiu Hong. He is currently in command of Tongzhi, the military commander of the five cities. He commands more than 1 soldiers and horses, and is responsible for security patrols in the capital.

Being able to manage so many soldiers and horses in Beijing, it can be seen that Qiu Liang is the absolute confidant of the emperor.

"Father, you are..."

"Qiu Liang is in charge of the defense of the city. What you call a strict plan, naturally let him talk about it!"

Zhu Jinghong nodded, this is indeed what should be done.

Qiu Liang came from Wucheng Bingmasi, plus he had to discuss matters later, it took half an hour to start.

Waiting like this, how could it be comfortable to go back and chat with Keqing, Zhu Jinghong only felt extremely uncomfortable thinking of this.

"Old Thirteen, what's the matter?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Zhu Jinghong immediately said: "Father... my son is fine, just thinking about the military parade!"

Now that he was doing business, Zhu Jinghong would put aside his love for his children. Anyway, he only had a few months left in the current monk class.

Bear with it now, in the future I can't help but play with him, when the time comes, I can find as many beauties as I want.

When Zhu Jinghong felt that the palace was strictly forbidden, Baochai found Chengmingyuan wearing a cloak.

Just now when Zhu Jinghong played chess with him, he dropped the sachet when he left, and she sent it here specially.

After getting along for this period of time, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. Although they met and quarreled and bickered non-stop, Baochai was already deeply in love.

As long as you meet the right person, everything will come naturally, the key lies in the right person.

The little eunuchs on duty at the gate of Chengming Court stopped chatting when they saw Baochai coming, and one of them quickly greeted them down the steps.

"Miss Xue, Master Thirteen is not here!"

"Can't I come without him?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch scratched his ears, then said with a smile: "Of course he can come, our thirteenth master is looking forward to the girl's arrival every day!"

These words are true, how can Baochai hold her face, she is a decent girl.

I saw Baochai put on a serious face and said, "You're talking nonsense again. Be careful. I'll tell Lord Thirteen to punish you!"

"Miss, calm down, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore!" The little eunuch looked terrified, he was really afraid of being sued.

Thinking of what he just said at this moment, he wished he could slap himself on the mouth hard, what's the point of talking nonsense.

Baochai still had a straight face, and said: "It's good to know, don't be an example, otherwise I will never forgive you!"

"Thank you girl for your forgiveness!"

Since Zhu Jinghong was not there, when Baochai was about to hand over the sachet to the little eunuch, he heard voices of pain coming from the courtyard.

"What's going on inside?"

"Oh...the ones that Eunuch Deng was ordered to bring back. They seem to be the sons and daughters of officials from the Ministry of Industry. They were imprisoned in the East Factory for some reason!"

"The sons and daughters of officials from the Ministry of Industry?"

Suspicious in his heart, Baochai looked inside the gate, and happened to see Keqing walking into the yard.

Really good-looking, there are such beautiful people in the world... This is Baochai's first impression of Keqing.

The last time she was so amazed was when Rongguo Mansion first met Lin Daiyu.

Originally, she had planned to leave, but she didn't want to leave after seeing this person, she wanted to find out the details of that person in the courtyard.

As for why he wanted to investigate, Baochai himself couldn't explain it clearly, but he felt sore in his heart, and he felt a little more resentful towards Zhu Jinghong.

"I'll go in and see!"

"Girl please!"

Entering the courtyard, Keqing also noticed Baochai. She was confident in her appearance since she was a child, and she felt indistinguishable when she saw Baochai.

There is no way, no matter how connotative a woman is, what she cares most about is her beauty. When she encounters an equal opponent, she will unconsciously compete for her appearance.

With a gentle smile on her face, Baochai stopped five steps away from Keqing.

"Miss and Thirteenth Lord are old?" Baochai was worried, so she naturally asked this question first.

Soo was not sure of Baochai's identity, but Keqing could feel that she was not hostile, so she replied truthfully: "The Thirteenth Master is very kind-hearted, and he helped the little girl's family before. Now my siblings are in prison, and the Thirteenth Master rescued them out of trouble!"

It was Zhu Jinghong who took the initiative to help. Hearing this, Baochai felt even more sad. She thought that she was the only one who got this kind of treatment.

Does he have to take good care of all the beautiful women in the world?

The more Baochai thought about it, the more angry she became, but she still had a slight smile on her face, and then asked, "I haven't asked the girl's name yet!"

This question seems a little rash, but fortunately Baochai is also a cardamom girl, so Keqing didn't think too much about it.

"The little girl's surname is Qin!"

After all, he was not familiar with the person in front of him, so Keqing only said his last name.

However, Baochai's extensive knowledge and strong memorization made him guess the identity of the person in front of him when he got in touch with what the little eunuch said just now.

"Are you the daughter of Qin Ye, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry?"

"You...how did you know?" Ke Qing was deeply surprised.

"I have an old relationship with Lord Thirteen, I heard him mention your family!" Baochai made up a random reason.

Marrying such a beautiful woman as his wife, no wonder the Jia family is unwilling to retire...

Just as Baochai was thinking about this, Keqing said: "The Thirteenth Lord has taken care of me many times, please tell the girl to tell the Thirteenth Lord, the little girl is very grateful to him!"

Grateful?I'm afraid that what that guy wants is to repay the favor... The more I think about Baochai, the more uncomfortable I feel.

"Yes...he is really a good man!" Baochai's tone was yin and yang.

Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Ke Qing didn't continue, but instead asked: "I haven't asked the girl's name yet!"

"My surname is Xue, and now I am serving the princess!"

Hearing this, Keqing also knew Baochai's identity, so her face became ugly, and she looked at Baochai with wariness.

When the Qin family was entangled with the Jia family before, Xue Baochai had just been selected as a servant, and was mentioned by Qin Ye as a relative of the Jia family.

Baochai reported that her surname was Xue and she was a servant of the princess, but Qing easily identified her.

"So it's Miss Xue!" Ke Qing's tone changed suddenly, as if she was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Baochai sensed sharply, and immediately noticed the clue, and asked with a smile, "Miss Qin knows me?"

"Although Miss Xue came from afar, she is highly valued by the Empress Empress. She compares to the honorable daughters of Jingzhong. How could I not know!"

If Baochai was said to be yin and yang just now, what Qing said was called yin and yang, because the resentment in her heart was even greater.

Baochai walked around behind Keqing, Baochai said with a smile: "It's just a fluke, I can't afford to be praised like a girl, don't you also have to be valued by the thirteenth master, and take care of your Qin family in every possible way?"

Baochai's words meant something, how could Keqing, who considered himself innocent, could bear it, and immediately replied: "Huh... Lord Thirteen is old-fashioned and warm-hearted. It is only normal to help the poor and the poor, and how can you take care of my Qin family!"

After hearing this, Baochai's heart was touched, and she couldn't help sighing: "Yes... Maybe there will be others in the future!"

At this moment, Qin Zhong's wounds in the wing room had been healed, and the imperial physician came out accompanied by Deng An.

Keqing left Baochai behind, went up to greet her and said gratefully, "Thank you very much!"

Only the imperial doctor replied: "Girl, you don't need to say thank you, it's just some skin trauma, and it will be fine after a few days of treatment!"

And Deng An looked at Baochai from a distance, and immediately came forward: "Miss Xue, when did you come? No one told this servant, I'll be damned for neglecting you!"

Baochai smiled and said, "It's okay to neglect me. If you neglect this girl, your thirteenth master will not punish you!"

"This..." Deng An didn't understand why, it sounded strange to him.

"Girl, the slave will send the imperial physician out first!"

"Go!"

After Keqing thanked him, Deng An led the imperial physician out, and there were only two women left in the hospital.

Looking at Ke Qing who was about to turn around and enter the room after glaring at him, Baochai couldn't help asking: "Why is the girl so hostile to me?"
