King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 247

Stopping in her tracks, Ke Qing said coldly: "Who is related to Jia's family, are there any good people?"

Thinking of the disasters that have happened at home in the past few days, she will naturally feel upset, and it is normal to vent her anger on Baochai.

In fact, Baochai also guessed this possibility, so she was not surprised at the moment, nor did she feel any extra hostility towards Keqing.

"I know something about your two families. There is really a misunderstanding, and the Jia family has paid the price for it... I understand that the girl has resentment in her heart, but why bother to involve other people!"

Baochai's frank statement made Keqing realize that she was wrong, and what she said just now was really unreasonable.

"There are many people related to the Jia family, not to mention the East Palace. Isn't the prince a good person?"

Hearing this, Ke Qing was not calm anymore, and quickly made amends: "I didn't say that!"

She had just come out of Dongchang Prison, if Baochai made a fuss about it, it would be a breeze to send her back in.

Baochai smiled and said, "It can be seen that there is room for speech, don't you think?"

"You say yes... I will not accompany you!"

After saying that, Ke Qing went straight into the wing room, she was afraid that if she said anything unscrupulously again, someone would catch her.

Baochai took out the sachet and was about to hand it over to the eunuch on duty and leave when she heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Where are the people?"

The voice belonged to Zhu Jinghong, this fellow slipped out of Qianqing Palace in the name of Chugong, and ran all the way back to Chengming Courtyard, just in time to meet Deng An sending the imperial physician away.

"Go back to Lord Thirteen, both girls are here!"

"Two girls?" Zhu Jinghong was extremely surprised.

Could it be that Deng An treats Qin Zhong as a girl?Zhu Jinghong thought so.

Just because Qin Zhong looks delicate and soft, it is not outrageous to treat him as a girl.

However, when he entered the gate and saw Baochai standing in front of him, he immediately understood what was going on.

How did she get here?

"I've seen Lord Thirteen!"

"So it's Miss Bao, what do you want from me?"

Taking out the sachet, Baochai said with a smile, "Master Thirteen has dropped something, don't you know?"

Zhu Jinghong looked down and saw that the leather belt was indeed empty, so he smiled and stepped forward and said, "Miss, please make a special trip, thank you for your trouble!"

"Return the property to the original owner. Since the Thirteenth Master has a distinguished guest, the servant girl will not bother her!"

Taking the sachet from Baochai, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "They are my friends, shall I introduce you to the girl?"

They will live together in the future, and it's good to get to know each other now, that's Zhu Jinghong's plan.

"We already know each other, don't bother Master Thirteen to introduce you!"

Why is this girl so smelly of gunpowder when she talks today?Could it be that she is jealous?
Thinking about it, Zhu Jinghong felt that it was impossible. In his impression, Baochai was polite and calm, so he would have the attitude of these children.

How could he know that everything is relative, when meeting someone with his magnanimity and identity, no matter how good a girl is, it is difficult for her to maintain her self-esteem, not to mention that Baochai has always fallen in love with him.

"Uh...this!"

"The girl is here, why don't you go in and sit down?"

"The Thirteenth Master has a distinguished guest. I'm afraid it's not good for me to stay here?"

"If I have neglected the guests, then I will be guilty of the worst!"

Hearing this, no matter how dull Zhu Jinghong was, he knew that the girl in front of him was jealous, so he couldn't help looking at Baochai more, after all, it was rare for her to be like this.

In fact, he really wanted to tell Baochai that although Qin Keqing was good enough, he was still a little bit worse than Baochai.

There are three reasons. One is that he was the first to meet Baochai, and his preconceived ideas allowed her to take the lead, which was deeply imprinted in his heart.

The second is that Baochai was assassinated in Jinling before, and Baochai offered advice in the face of danger, which Zhu Jinghong admired very much.

The third is that now, Baochai has become an attendant and stays in the palace, and the relationship with Zhu Jinghong is warmed up every day, and he has the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first.

Of course, the most important point is that Zhu Jinghong likes a little fatter.

It's not that he's lustful, but he feels that a little plumpness will help him to hold the country in the future.

"What are you doing staring at him?" Baochai turned his face away, uncomfortable being watched by Zhu Jinghong.

"Eh... I think the girl is a little more beautiful today than before!"

"Nonsense again!"

"Go...it's cold outside, let's go in and talk!"

Regardless of Baochai's willingness or not, Zhu Jinghong pulled her sleeves and walked in.

In fact, he wanted to hold hands, but Baochai would definitely break free, so he simply retreated to the next best thing.

Even so, Baochai still refused to obey and said: "Don't talk about it, let others see it!"

It's a pity that she didn't break free, so Zhu Jinghong led her into the wing room, where Keqing was taking care of Qin Zhong.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong coming in, Ke Qing immediately got up and stepped forward, then knelt down on the ground very respectfully.

"My daughter-in-law sees the Thirteenth Lord, and thank the Thirteenth Lord for saving his life!"

After saying this, Ke Qing kowtowed three times in a row, forcing Zhu Jinghong to step forward to help him.

Baochai, who was following him, sensed his intentions in advance, so he stepped forward to help Keqing up.

"Sister, you don't need to be too polite, the thirteenth master's ears are softer and his heart is softer... If you accidentally bump into him, he will feel so sorry for him!"

"Get up quickly!"

Hearing Baochai's words, Zhu Jinghong who was standing behind couldn't laugh or cry, secretly thought that he had been implicated by this girl again.

Sure enough, when a woman becomes jealous, she becomes unreasonable.

At this time, Qin Zhong, who was lying on the bed, also braced himself to get up, wanting to kowtow to the savior like Ke Qing.

When he was tortured in Dongchang, he almost thought he was going to die, and he was so grateful to Zhu Jinghong now as desperate as he was just now.

Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Lie down, there is no need to salute!"

"Thank you Thirteenth Master for your rescue!" Although Qin Zhong didn't get out of bed, he sat upright and saluted solemnly.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong sat on the chair, and the eunuch brought him hot tea, and of course Baochai was indispensable.

Looking at Keqing standing respectfully in front of him, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Young lady, don't be restrained, I'm not a scourge!"

"Since I've said hello, Dongchang won't bother you any more. You can rest assured. After you go back, you can just calm down and heal your wounds!"

"The kindness and virtue of the thirteenth master will never be forgotten by my ministers!"

After saying that, Keqing was about to kneel down again, this time Zhu Jinghong had quick hands and eyes, and got up to help him up.

Ke Qing felt like getting an electric shock, and instinctively took two steps back, disappointing Zhu Jinghong who had just started.

At this time, Baochai said from the side: "Master Thirteen, don't scare the girl!"

Zhu Jinghong turned his head, looked at Baochai and said, "Miss Bao, don't you think...you talk a lot today?"

Picking up the teacup, Baochai said slowly, "Your servant doesn't know which one of the Great Ming Law has been said, and if you talk too much, you will break the law!"

If it weren't for Keqing, Zhu Jinghong would definitely take care of Baochai at this moment, this girl really thinks she is easy to talk to.

"Miss Qin, don't you think Bao girl is so sharp-tongued?"

However, in Keqing's eyes, Baochai's words were always helping her out, and looking at Baochai again, she felt more pleasing to the eye.

"Master Thirteen, but my daughter thinks... Miss Xue's words make sense!"

"Ah? This..." Looking at Keqing, Zhu Jinghong was extremely surprised.

When did these two side?

Keqing complained about Baochai before because the Xue family was related to the Jia family, but now she changed her attitude towards Baochai largely because of Zhu Jinghong.

The so-called love of the house and Wu, Baochai and Zhu Jinghong have a very close relationship, which will naturally change Keqing's view.

Next, the three talked for a while, but it was mainly Baochai who were chatting, and Zhu Jinghong became an observer instead, and could only interject a sentence from time to time.
