King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 299
In the East Palace, Yuan Chun entered the inner house.

After returning to the room, she drove out all the eunuchs and maids, and ordered people to close all the doors and windows.

Then she smiled, and then danced and jumped up, the joy was beyond words.

Only in this no man's land can she let go like this, and she usually has a mature and prudent image.

"Crown Princess... This is the Crown Princess!" Yuan Chun murmured in a low voice.

Her situation at the moment is similar to that of Fan Jinzhongju, but the degree is much lighter.

However, Yuan Chun's abnormal behavior attracted Wang Yi's attention.

Feeling itchy, Wang Yi brought people outside Yuanchun's bedroom.

"Your Majesty... Our Majesty has said that we won't see any outsiders today!"

"Why don't you see outsiders? Am I an outsider? Get out of the way..."

Although Yuan Chun was ordered, how could the court ladies stop Wang Yi, who directly led people into the courtyard.

Just as she was about to order someone to call the door, the main door of the main hall slowly opened, and Yuan Chun appeared inside with an indifferent expression.

Wang Yi looked Yuan Chun up and down, feeling that something was wrong with this guy today, his eyes were much sharper than before.

"I said sister, why did you come back and lock yourself in the room? Did you make a mistake and was reprimanded by the queen mother?" Wang Yi asked with a fake smile.

Yuan Chun was also not used to her, and said coldly: "You are too lenient, what does it matter to you where I stay?"

Although the two of them bickered on weekdays, Yuan Chun was obviously more aggressive today, which made Wang Yi at a loss for a while.

"Sister, why should you be so angry? My sister also cares about you..."

Before Wang Yi could finish speaking, Yuan Chun scolded: "I don't have that kind of luck, you should care more about yourself and get rid of your stinking problems!"

These words meant something, even the palace people present noticed Yuan Chun's anomaly, the quarrel had never been so noisy before.

"you……"

There are two women here, and in the palace on the other side, today's court meeting has ended, and civil and military officials are gradually withdrawing.

"Thirteenth brother, you didn't go to class?"

At the gate of the palace, Zhu Jingyuan who had finished the court meeting ran into Zhu Jinghong who was going to the Qianqing Palace.

"Fourth brother, I have my own measure... don't worry about it!" Zhu Jinghong didn't care.

As the elder brother, Zhu Jingyuan felt that he had to remind him, so he said: "Dad will test you in these two days, you don't know?"

"Of course I know!"

"Then you're not ready yet, why are you running around?"

Seeing that his elder brother was really worried about himself, Zhu Jinghong replied seriously: "Father wants to arrange an errand for me, so I can't care less about it!"

"Father arranged an errand for you again?" Zhu Jingyuan was extremely surprised.

"Father said that I did a good job in military training, and he intends to let me continue to practice...You say this old man, he thinks I'm not pleasing to the eye and still makes me work!"

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's Versailles language, Zhu Jingyuan felt extremely uncomfortable.

Since Jinling came back, he has not been sent any errands. His daily task is to look through the old memorials, and then write a summary of his feelings and experiences.

Although Zhu Jingyuan can accept this kind of life, it really feels too boring. At this moment, he is naturally envious of Zhu Jinghong being excluded.

It's military training and parade, and it's playing ball to show off. Now Zhu Jinghong's name is known to everyone in and outside the capital, and everyone knows it.

Who doesn't know now, the No. 13 son of the current emperor, with outstanding martial arts and the courage of the overlord of Western Chu, has boosted the country's prestige for Ming Dynasty.

"Thirteenth brother, since daddy values ​​you, you have to do your job well and don't let him down!"

Spreading his hands, Zhu Jinghong replied, "I can only say that I will do my best!"

"By the way, there is one more thing to remind you. These days, there are censors impeaching you, and there are at least twenty or thirty memorials!"

"Oh, I see!"

Zhu Jinghong still reacted calmly, which made Zhu Jingyuan feel that his worries were for nothing.

But Zhu Jinghong really doesn't care, he already has too many lice and doesn't itch, those people who like impeachment can do whatever they want!
A few years ago, every time the censor impeached, Zhu Jinghong would be reprimanded for light cases, and would have to be punished by the court for serious cases, but he would not change after repeated admonitions.

Now even the emperor is numb, and now they all stay in the middle, so that there is no follow-up to these memorials.

In contrast, as long as Zhu Jingyuan is impeached, he will definitely be scolded, which is much worse than Zhu Jinghong.

"Thirteenth Brother...why don't you ask Sixth Brother to come over if you want to whisper something!"

Seeing the sixth brother coming over, in order not to let himself be passive, Zhu Jinghong said first: "Brother Six...I have something to ask you!"

Zhu Jingyuan bid farewell to the accompanying officials, came to the two of Zhu Jinghong, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You promised to give me a good horse. It's been more than a month, why is there still no result?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan's heart tightened immediately, what he was most afraid of was that his younger brother would ask this question.

Still the same sentence, good quality war horses are easy to get, but a good horse suitable for a fierce man like Zhu Jinghong is really hard to come by.

"Brother Six, you have great powers, so it's easy to find a horse!"

"Could it be...you think a good horse is too expensive, and you can't bear to spend money?"

The last sentence, Zhu Jingyuan really couldn't let it go.

He, Zhu Jingyuan, is a virtuous king, and he has a good reputation for generously donating money. Even outsiders donate generously, so how could he be stingy with his own brother.

"Thirteenth brother, how can sixth brother be reluctant to part with money, but it's really rare to find a good horse that is worthy of you..."

"Brother Six can't... find a few horses to fool you!"

Hearing these words, before Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth, the prince beside him couldn't sit still.

"Thirteenth brother, isn't it just a horse, wait for the fourth brother to find it for you, how can it take such trouble!"

"Fourth brother, that's not what you said, you can be worthy of the thirteenth brother..."

Seeing that the two were arguing, Zhu Jinghong cupped his hands and said, "You two brothers, tell me, I have to take a step ahead!"

After saying that, Zhu Jinghong walked away in a hurry, and the two of them had no intention of talking, and each gave a cold snort and left separately.

According to the emperor's arrangement, the generals of the guards and the army will be called together today to discuss matters related to the training of soldiers.

As the initiator of the event, Zhu Jinghong naturally had to attend the discussion and introduce the military training in detail to the generals present.

In other words, today's high-level military meeting will be an opportunity for him to showcase himself.

The Great Court Assembly has just ended, and the emperor still needs to meet with the cabinet ministers, and then summon the six ministries and nine ministers to discuss matters.

These people were discussing important national affairs, and their priority was higher than Zhu Jinghong's, so even if he arrived at Qianqing Palace, he could only wait outside the palace gate.

He could have waited inside the Qianqing Palace, but in the end he chose to wait outside the door.

A group of generals had to wait outside, and he could just talk to them, and discuss this matter outside the court meeting.

The first ones were the commanders of the bodyguards, most of whom Zhu Jinghong knew, and they would naturally be introduced after they arrived, and after a while, everyone started talking and laughing.

It is also because Zhu Jinghongli's character design is appropriate, which naturally makes the generals feel close, otherwise they will inevitably be alienated and separated.

As a pro-army, the Shangzhi 22 Guards were the army that the emperor valued the most. They received the most generous treatment and the best weapons. They could be called the strongest soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that this army is not a fake, but normally participates in the rotation defense of the frontier, with five guards deployed at any time.

So today, apart from Jin Yiwei and Banner Guard, only fifteen commanders were present.

However, to Zhu Jinghong's surprise, this discussion was of a higher level than he had imagined.

"Master Thirteen, I'm so lucky to be able to listen to your high-level speeches again today!"

Zhu Jinghong turned around, and the person who came was Niu Jizong, the left governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion, one of the highest-ranking generals in the Ming Dynasty.
