King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 331 Miss Bao said it
The emperor's words are equivalent to telling the three brothers clearly that even if they act, they have to act as brothers and sisters.

Faced with this request, the three dared not obey orders, so they immediately agreed.

"I'll warn you again, keep me quiet these days, if there is any trouble again... I will never let you down!"

"Son will never do it again!"

The three of them agreed very readily, but they obviously didn't take it seriously, after all, the emperor didn't even mention the specific punishment.

Not lightly, the deterrent force of these four words is not as strong as the emperor scolding.

"go out!"

"Yes!"

The three wanted to leave a long time ago, and after agreeing, they supported each other to get up. It seemed that they were extraordinarily respectful brothers and sisters, and obviously they started acting from this moment.

But the three of them didn't take two steps, but they saw Zhu Jinghong stopped again, causing the two elder brothers to stop too.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong turned around, Zhu Xianming asked sullenly, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Father, I just want to ask, what should I do with the good horse of the Wang family in Beijing!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xianming's face became even more ugly, and he secretly thought that this kid was only thinking of a good horse, so he probably didn't listen to his own words.

"Today you brought Sheng'er out of the palace. I haven't argued with you yet, but now you are so busy... Go down and get yourself twenty imperial staffs!"

"Father, my son is just..."

"roll!"

Seeing that the old man was about to get angry again, how dare the two princes ask Zhu Jinghong to say more, they dragged him left and right and walked out.

"Not one of them is reassuring!" Zhu Xianming became more and more dissatisfied.

After returning to his position, Cheng Ying appeared outside the hall at the right time, serving the emperor personally for so long, he was able to grasp the proportion of his appearance.

"Your Majesty, the King of Beijing has arrived, do you want to summon him?"

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Xianming calmly said, "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

Besides, when the three of Zhu Jinghong left the hall, they happened to meet Shui Rong who was summoned by the cold wind.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Rui, and Thirteenth Lord!"

Although being punished miserably by the two direct princes, Shui Rong dared not show any dissatisfaction, and the whole set of salutes was flawless at this moment.

Regarding this, the crown prince didn't say a word, but Zhu Jingyuan snorted twice, only Zhu Jinghong said that he was exempt from courtesy.

Then the three of them walked outside, chatting and laughing with each other, and when they listened carefully, they knew it was all nonsense.

Seeing them chatting and laughing, as if they were all right, Shui Rong felt extremely wronged. Obviously, the three of them didn't care about his torture.

To put it simply, he, the King of Beijing, is no different from a servant on duty in the palace.

Just as he stood up slowly, Cheng Ying also walked out of the hall and ordered him to enter the hall immediately to see the emperor.

After entering the hall and before the emperor, Shui Rong cheered up, knowing that the next answer was very important.

After saluting, Zhu Xianming said with an indifferent expression: "Tell me exactly what happened!"

When Shui Rong explained in detail here, the three brothers who came out of the Qianqing Sect performed more and more exaggeratedly.

I saw that they were not only talking and laughing, but even hooked their shoulders together, they really complied with the emperor's words, and they didn't have half the dignity of royal heirs.

"Thirteenth brother, you go to get the court stick first, I and your sixth brother will not accompany you!"

"Tingzhang? What courtzhang? I don't know..." Zhu Jinghong played dumb.

"Do you dare to resist the order?" Zhu Jingyuan asked.

Zhu Jinghong replied: "As long as the old man doesn't ask, how can he know that I didn't receive the punishment!"

The emperor asked him to accept the punishment himself. Whether he should accept the punishment or not depends entirely on Zhu Jinghong's self-consciousness. After all, no one is watching him specifically.

"Sixth brother, you won't tell the truth, will you?"

Zhu Jingyuan said righteously: "Thirteenth brother, what are you talking about? In order to find a good horse for you, my brother even received scolding from the old man, how could he do such a thing as informing!"

"It's just... your sixth brother can keep a secret, but it's difficult for others!"

"Lao Liu, what do you mean by that?"

At this moment, there was no one around, and the two brothers had a tendency to quarrel again, so Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to comfort him.

At this time, a eunuch came galloping from afar, looking in the direction of the three brothers.

"Your Highnesses, the empress is calling you to have an audience!"

Good guy, this is obviously my father scolding me, and it's my mother's turn to come next.

"Let's go!"

Besides, in the Qianqing Palace, after listening to Shui Rong's statement and combining it with the news from Dongchang's investigation, Zhu Xianming knew the whole story of the Oolong incident.

"No matter how you say it, this incident... was caused by your family's improper handling. Are you guilty?"

The emperor said so, how dare Shui Rong defend himself.

"Wei Chen is guilty!"

"Let's just think that you have no bad intentions. In addition, your father and grandfather have made great contributions to the court. I will punish you with half a year's salary. You can be convinced!"

"My humble minister bows to His Majesty for his grace!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Originally planning to let Shui Rong leave, Zhu Xianming suddenly remembered what his youngest son said, so he asked, "What do you plan to do with the horse you brought back?"

"My minister is planning to present it to His Majesty!" Shui Rong replied simply, for him these are disasters.

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Xianming said slowly: "A few days ago, the old Shisan led the polo team against the nations, and I haven't rewarded him for winning the first place..."

"Since you have a good horse, choose one of them and give it to the old thirteen as my reward!"

My son has the unworthy courage, he must have a good horse to be worthy of it, I hope Shui Rong really brings back a good horse, don't want to humiliate the old thirteen... Zhu Xianming muttered in his heart.

"Wei minister leads the order!"

"Okay, you go back!"

"Yes... Weichen resigns!"

After exiting the main hall, Shui Rong's hanging heart fell, but he couldn't help coughing until he walked out of the Qianqing Gate.

That's right, right now he's really caught a cold, and he's still running a high fever.

When Shui Rong hurried back, the queen in Kunning Palace was training the son, and the prince and Prince Rui were honestly being scolded.

As for Zhu Jinghong, the empress only asked about leaving the palace, and then let him back out.

"Master Thirteen, why are you here?"

Yinglian was very surprised when she came to meet her, which made Zhu Jinghong happy. Shouldn't she be here?
"Girl, why can't I come here?"

Looking Zhu Jinghong up and down, Yinglian approached and asked, "Master Thirteen, are you seriously injured? This servant will bring the medicine here!"

After patting the snowflakes off Yinglian's clothes, Zhu Jinghong laughed and said, "You girl, why do you always talk nonsense, how can I get hurt when I am fine!"

Yinglian replied: "Miss Bao said that the Thirteenth Master might be beaten by the imperial staff, so I asked my servants to prepare plasters and go to Chengming Courtyard to wait!"

"She is really..."

Before Zhu Jinghong could speak, he happened to see Baochai coming out of the East Hall, who also seemed surprised to see him.

"Miss Bao, the Thirteenth Lord is here!" Yinglian greeted her with a loud voice that attracted the attention of the eunuchs and maids around.

This girl, what are you talking about... Baochai complained to herself.

Walking towards Zhu Jinghong, Baochai saluted and asked, "How is the Thirteenth Master?"

"Not good, I'm very bad... How can I get better after being hit by the imperial staff!"

Baochai replied, "It happens that Yinglian has prepared ointment, let her wait for you to apply the ointment!"

"Really? But I heard from Yinglian that you asked her to prepare the ointment. It seems that Miss Bao cares about me!" Zhu Jinghong smiled.

Baochai's face turned red for a moment, and then she replied: "Who cares about you... It's just that the princess is worried, so I told Yinglian!"

Just as Zhu Jinghong was about to continue joking, he saw Zhu Yunsheng and the others coming out of the East Hall with worried expressions on their faces.

"Brother Thirteen, are you okay?" Zhu Yunsheng was full of concern.
