King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 322
Zhu Jinghong would never have imagined that he would be described as cowardly.

Facing Zhu Yunsheng's words, Baochai felt helpless, why did the two brothers and sisters quarrel and pull him together.

After glancing at Zhu Jinghong, Baochai said to Zhu Yunsheng: "Princess, Lord Thirteen has another idea, and even you can't persuade him... how can I change his mind!"

"Sister Bao is too modest, don't you believe it... My younger sister, who is a direct relative, really doesn't have as much face as you with Brother Thirteen!"

To be honest, the meaning of these words seemed too straightforward, which made Baochai feel hot.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Yunsheng became more confident about the success of the matter, and she believed that Baochai would definitely succeed if he made a move.

"Princess, don't say that, I don't have any face!"

Seeing that Baochai refused to admit it, Zhu Yunsheng looked at Zhu Jinghong and asked, "Brother Thirteen, why didn't you give Sister Bao face, then why did you insist on helping her enter the palace?"

Baochai's face turned red, but Zhu Jinghong himself didn't take it seriously, he wouldn't be ashamed to be seen through by his own sister.

Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Third sister, look at what you said. I helped her enter the palace and this has something to do with it?"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't take the bait, Zhu Yunsheng said to Baochai: "Sister Bao, look... I'm useless talking, you have to help me!"

Baochai didn't fall for it, so she immediately replied, "Princess...I can't help you with this job!"

"Sister Bao, don't refuse..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunsheng approached Baochai, and said in a low voice: "After all, you don't want to tell them about the picture of the sachet, do you?"

It turned out that Zhu Yunsheng's handle was not on Zhu Jinghong but on Baochai.

Just this one sentence made Baochai speechless, and she felt very embarrassed for a while.

After all, she was entrusted by the queen to strictly control the princess, and now she is helping the princess out of the palace to play, which is really unreasonable.

But Zhu Yunsheng didn't care about these things, he left the study after he finished his last sentence, and ordered someone to close the door when he was done.

So much so that at this moment, only Zhu Jinghong and Xue Baochai were left in the room.

Seeing that Baochai was standing there, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help asking: "Bao girl, what did Sanmei whisper to you?"

Zhu Yunsheng said the last sentence in a low voice, so Zhu Jinghong couldn't hear it if he didn't have the wind.

Baochai didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "The Thirteenth Lord insisted on making me a sachet. Now that the princess has learned about it, she wants to use it against me...I must persuade you to agree!"

This is only half of what he said, after all, how could Baochai tell the person concerned about the private portrait of Zhu Jinghong.

"So, do I make it difficult for you?" After saying this, Zhu Jinghong pointed to the empty teacup.

As soon as Baochai saw that he was about to serve tea, Baochai said, "I cut the meat for you a few days ago, and now I am serving tea again... The princess never asked us to serve you like this, the thirteenth master is really good at calling people!"

"Girl Bao, don't you keep telling people that I am your savior... Wouldn't it be nice to ask you to pour tea?"

Baocha Baochai is of course happy, and she said these words just to cover up, and now that Zhu Jinghong is repaying her kindness, she can naturally push the boat along.

I saw Baochai walk up to the book case, lift the teapot and pour tea while saying: "Thirteenth Master, the matter of the sachet is your idea, now that the princess knows about it and threatens you, you can..."

"It's full, stop now, baby girl..."

It turned out that Baochai was so focused on talking that she filled the teacup without noticing it, which caused Zhu Jinghong to be scalded.

Fortunately, the tea has been brewed for some time, and the temperature has dropped a lot, which did not cause any harm to Zhu Jinghong.

But Baochai didn't know the inside story. Seeing this situation, she quickly put down the teapot, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Zhu Jinghong.

When other people encounter this situation, they must have expressions of fear and fear, but on Baochai's face there is only worry and self-blame.

"Master Thirteen, are you okay... It's all my carelessness that caused you to be burned, damn it!"

Feeling the contact between Baochai's fingers, and hearing her breath like blue, Zhu Jinghong took Baochai's jade hand and asked, "Then how will you compensate me?"

Hearing that he still had time to talk about this, Baochai knew that he had nothing to do, so she immediately pulled her hand back with all her might.

Although it wasn't the first time Zhu Jinghong touched her, Baochai still said with a straight face: "Master Thirteen, please respect yourself!"

"Self-respect, of course I respect myself, no one in this world understands self-respect better than me!"

This is really not Zhu Jinghong's bragging, because as long as he is willing, he can get most of the women in the world, including Baochai.

After traveling for so long, Zhu Jinghong didn't do those bad things, he is really a "self-respecting" person.

Not wanting to chat with him, Baochai said angrily, "Do you agree or disagree with what the princess said?"

Before Zhu Jinghong could reply, Baochai went on to say, "If the news about the sachet spreads, how can I have the face to live!"

Zhu Jinghong only found it very interesting to see Baochai looking like he was dying to live.

"What are you looking at me for? You can tell me what to do!"

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Zhu Jinghong said slowly, "I found a problem..."

"What?" Baochai looked puzzled.

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Jinghong said very seriously: "The tea you pour...seems to be more fragrant!"

Baochai was stunned at first, then she looked angry, and then she was very dissatisfied: "What time is it...you still say these jokes!"

Standing up, walking slowly behind Baochai, Zhu Jinghong supported her shoulders and said, "Don't worry...the sky won't fall!"

"I'm going to die... I'm not afraid of being seen!"

After saying that, Baochai hurriedly walked a few steps away from Zhu Jinghong.

"Isn't it just sledging? I'll arrange it for her in two days. It will definitely not make it difficult for you!"

Don't look at what Zhu Jinghong said earlier, but arranging this matter is really just a trivial matter for him.

Even if the emperor and queen find out, he is not afraid, and making mistakes is nothing to him.

Seeing that Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Girl... how long has it been since the sachet you said you made for me, and it hasn't been found yet!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong as if there was no one around, Baochai glanced at the door guiltily, then turned her head and said dissatisfiedly: "You... can you keep your voice down!"

"Do you think that a sachet is just a cloth bag? You don't have to embroider various patterns on it. It's very cumbersome to make..."

"You're really in a hurry, I'll be late these two days, and I'll give it to you then!"

Seeing Baochai talking like this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at your aggrieved appearance, as if I bullied you!"

"Did the Thirteenth Master not bully others? Treat us like girls!"

"Hey... don't talk nonsense, how have I ever ordered them?"

While the two inside were bickering, in another room in the East Hall, there were also people discussing softly.

"You said... Can Sister Bao persuade the Thirteenth Master?" Xiangyun expressed concern.

"Hmph...she...what can she do!"

It was obviously Zhen Qin who said this, at this moment she was jealous again, and at the same time secretly annoyed why the princess didn't assign this job to her!

Fortunately, she has no bad intentions, and she will speak out freely if she has anything, and she will not hold back in her heart to do bad things secretly.

At this time, Yang Jingting said: "I think it can be done!"

She and Zhen Qin are the opposite, they hide everything in their hearts, they are obviously soaked in vinegar at the moment, yet they still have to pretend to be okay.

"hope so!"

Among the three, only Xiangyun is more innocent, but I don't know how long she can maintain this innocence.
