King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 321

Zhu Jinghong really didn't pay attention to a mere girl.

But out of respect for his sister, Zhu Jinghong still chose to go to Kunning Palace, after all, he is his own sister!

When he rushed to Kunning Palace, Baochai and others were fighting outside the house, including the golden and jade princess.

While everyone was having fun, a female official came out of the main hall of Kunning Palace, and they all stopped when they saw her come out to fight outside.

"Miss Xue, Your Majesty called you in!"

As soon as she heard that it was Zhao Baochai, Zhu Yunsheng's heart sank. She was afraid that her old mother would interfere with her play.

"Yes!"

In response, Baochai turned to Zhu Yunsheng and said, "Princess..."

"Go, go, you go and talk to my mother a few more words, just say that we are all fine, don't need her to worry about it!"

Baochai nodded, and then walked into the main hall, but the few people outside resumed their fighting.

Only Yang Jingting was stunned in the yard, looking at Baochai's back with a little loss.

I don't know when, her aunt has been estranged from her a lot, and now she seldom summons her niece alone.

At this moment, Zhen Qin reminded: "Sister Ting, run quickly...the princess is here to catch you!"

Baochai, who was having fun outside, entered the palace, but had already appeared in front of the queen's desk.

After she saluted, the queen raised her eyes and said: "Sheng'er has been able to go to school in recent days, I have not strictly controlled her, but you can't relax!"

"This girl has a lively mind, thinking about strange things all day long, you are acting prudently and thoughtfully, you should take more care of her!"

"Yes!"

Baochai responded, but her heart was extremely troubled.

After all, right now, Zhu Yunsheng is going out to go sledging, and she doesn't know whether to say it or not.

"The princess's studies are set according to the order of the empress. The princess is talented and smart, and has been completed one after another. The empress does not need to worry!"

He stared at Baochai for a while, and when the latter lowered his head, he heard the queen say, "Even you are talking nonsense to me!"

In fact, Baochai knew that what the queen wanted was her attitude, not nonsense telling the truth.

"Your Majesty's teachings, the ministers should follow them!"

After Baochai's words fell, there was a strong cold wind outside the house, and it even blew a corner of the closed window, and the wind immediately swept into the room.

This frightened the maids in attendance, one by one hurriedly went to close the windows, and checked whether the rest of the windows were locked.

And the most angry person is the female officer who is the foreman today.

Although she didn't curse out loud at this moment, she was already thinking about how to teach these careless girls a lesson after she left.

Not to mention how busy the maids are, at this moment Baochai has already bent down and picked up a page of manuscript paper on the ground.

The manuscript paper came from the Queen's Bookcase, and there is only a subtitle at the moment, with only six words "Edict of the Crown Princess".

These six characters are very conspicuous, it is difficult for Baochai not to see them, and the content of these six characters also makes her heart startled.

Just because the matter of registering the Crown Princess was too important, she immediately thought of many things.

Of course, while his thoughts were spinning, Baochai also sent the manuscript paper back to the desk.

At this time Yang Qingyin asked: "Have you seen it all?"

Apparently, Baochai's expression change was all seen by the queen.

"Report to your mother, all the courtiers have seen it!" At this time, only a fool would lie and say that he didn't see it.

"Then tell me, who will be made the princess?" Yang Qingyin asked casually.

She really didn't have any other intentions in asking this question, she just wanted to see how smart the girl in front of her was.

From reading the manuscript to now, Baochai has already analyzed it in a short period of time, and already knows who it is in his heart.

There has been no activity to select the crown princess recently, and the registered crown princess must be selected from the concubines of the Eastern Palace.

Among the concubines in the Eastern Palace, there are only two concubines who are more likely to be side concubines, and only Yuan Chun is more popular with the queen.

So in Baochai's view, the answer is ready.

But at the next moment, Baochai replied: "Return to your mother, this is a big matter, how dare you make random guesses!"

Yang Qingyin said with a smile: "There is nothing you dare not guess, everything has already been settled, and the imperial edict will be announced in just a few days!"

Baochai heard it and said, "But I don't know which girl is so lucky to be selected into the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Even though she already knew the answer, Baochai still chose to pretend to be confused. If she is too stupid in the palace, she will not live long, and if she is too smart, it may not be a good thing.

I only heard Yang Qingyin say: "You will know in two days, I will be very busy in the next month, so don't forget what I told you!"

During this period of time, the empress would indeed be extremely busy with the canonization of the concubine, the reception of wives inside and outside, and the participation in various court ceremonies.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yunsheng seizes the time to play.

"Yes!"

"Go down!"

"The servant girl retire!"

When Baochai walked out of the main hall, he didn't see the noisy crowd outside. After asking, he found out that Zhu Jinghong had come, and entered the East Hall with the princess and others.

"Third Sister, call me over...what are you talking about?"

"Brother Thirteen, I need your help!"

At this moment, there are only the two brothers and sisters in the study, and their words are simple and direct.

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Jinghong said in a flat tone, "Sister, you have asked me too many things, none of which is life-threatening!"

"The old man doesn't like me anyway, brother is living in fear now, you better let me go!"

However, Zhu Jinghong's nonsense can't fool Zhu Yunsheng at all.

"Brother Thirteen, what you said is exaggerated, what are you worried about... I only see you doing all kinds of things that violate the rules and regulations as usual!"

"You said that father doesn't like you anyway, but I think his old man thinks highly of you. He first asked you to train, and then let you play polo instead of the team leader. I heard that he will let you train next year!"

Good guy, Zhu Yunsheng's words revealed Zhu Jinghong's little secret, which shocked him greatly.

Even a little girl can see it so clearly, can I really hide it from my two elder brothers by making mistakes?

However, this was Zhu Jinghong thinking too much, Zhu Yunsheng said this more out of compliment, so as to persuade him to do things.

"Third sister, don't put a high hat on me, no matter what you say... don't talk about the sled!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong's "no oil and salt", Zhu Yunsheng stood up and said, "Brother Thirteen, when you asked me to choose Sister Bao as your servant, you forgot what you promised me?"

Of course Zhu Jinghong didn't forget what he said at the time, but the crux of the matter is... the final interpretation rests with him.

"Third sister, what I said at the time meant that as long as Brother Thirteen can do it, he will do it!"

After taking a sip of hot tea, Zhu Jinghong said with a serious expression, "You are going to go sledging. If you fall, how can I explain to my parents?"

"So... Brother Thirteen can't do it!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunsheng sighed, and said helplessly: "Originally... the younger sister planned to show her affection, but what she got was Thirteenth Brother's tricks, so I can only use my trump card!"

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Jinghong immediately became alert. He didn't know what Zhu Yunsheng wanted to do, which made him feel very dangerous.

At this moment, there was an announcement from outside: "Princess Qi, Miss Xue is here!"

Now that she was outside the door, Baochai felt very strange, the two brothers and sisters were discussing something, why the princess ordered someone to call him in.

Entering the study, I saw Zhu Jinghong sitting behind the desk, and Zhu Yunsheng standing beside him looked like a court lady.

Seeing Baochai appear, Zhu Yunsheng went around the desk and approached, and said at the same time: "Sister Bao, my Thirteenth Brother is as timid as a mouse, and he is not willing to ask him to do a favor. Come and persuade him!"
