King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 392 Send me to Qingyun

From Shangyi Bureau to Kunning Palace, Yang Jingting was talking to Baochai all the way.

Yang Jingting felt much more at ease when she saw that Baochai had indeed been tempered and was willing to be a lowly person in front of her.

While feeling relieved, Yang Jingting felt particularly happy seeing Baochai being so cautious.

Ever since she first fell in love and fell deeply in love with Zhu Jinghong, she had been jealous of Baochai and her cousin's favor.

But so what if you have a preference?Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by parents. No matter how favored Baochai is, she can only be a concubine.

With a smile on her face, she and Baochai stepped into Kunning Gate together and stood where they should stand.

At this moment, the ceremony was about to begin, and the scene had quieted down. The two of them appeared, attracting the ladies on both sides to watch.

Being watched by so many pairs of eyes, both of them showed no signs of stage fright and stood calmly with smiles on their faces.

Princess Rui Chen Zhi stood close to the throne, and on the other side was Crown Princess Yuanchun.

Zhu Yunsheng and several attendants stood on the attic of the east hall and looked down. This place has a better view.

Daiyu and Xiangyun were whispering, but Zhen Qin stood aside in silence, thinking of many things at once.

There was solemnity in the courtyard. As the music played, the queen led Zhu Jinghong out of the main hall.

Everyone at the scene paid their respects and paid their respects. After the Queen sat down, she spoke to calm everyone down.

Standing beside the queen, Zhu Jinghong looked at the two people in front of him, but his mood was particularly calm, because he had made a decision.

After waiting for a while, they heard a noise from outside, and everyone knew that the emperor was coming.

Sure enough, a few breaths later, the emperor's guard of honor entered the Kunning Gate, and everyone at the scene knelt on the ground.

Yang Jingting and Baochai, who were standing inside Kunning Gate, moved to the left and right and knelt down.

A few breaths later, the emperor in military uniform appeared, and the scene was filled with shouts of long live the mountain.

After stopping briefly in front of Baochai and Yang Jingting, Zhu Xianming continued to walk forward with a stern expression. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with these two girls.

At this moment, the queen had already walked down the steps and came to Zhu Xianming, who was about to salute when the latter said "no need".

Stepping up the steps, Zhu Xianming sat down on his own, and then said: "Sit down!"

With this sentence, everyone stood up one after another after thanking him.

At this time, the queen returned to the steps, and after sitting down, she asked: "Your Majesty, can the ceremony begin?"

Picking up the teacup on the side, Zhu Xianming said calmly: "Please follow the Queen's arrangements!"

Knowing that the emperor was dissatisfied, Yang Qingyin would not seek displeasure, so she winked at the female official on the side.

After the latter understood it, he read loudly: "God has given me the opportunity to choose a bride..."

After reciting some auspicious words, the female official finally said: "Please present Ruyi, the sachet!"

Two palace maids appeared, each holding trays with Ruyi and sachets placed on them.

"Your Highness, please take your wish and give it to the princess..."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong shook his sleeves, reached out and picked up Ruyi from the tray.

I saw him slowly walking down the steps and walking towards the two women in front of him.

There were more than 100 people present, and almost all of them guessed who the princess was.

But as Zhu Jinghong approached Baochai and the two, these people realized that something was wrong, because Zhu Jinghong did not go directly to Yang Jingting, but walked forward along the center line.

This scene made Yang Qingyin frown, but Chen Zhi felt happy and secretly cheered for Zhu Jinghong.

"Brother Thirteen, what are you doing?" In the attic, Zhu Yunsheng also noticed something was wrong.

"Could it be that he really wants to..."

Daiyu didn't say what she really wanted to do, but she had already guessed the situation.

Daiyu knew very well how much Baochai liked Zhu Jinghong, and she also knew that Zhu Jinghong liked Baochai.

But Daiyu didn't expect that Zhu Jinghong would do such a bold thing for Baochai.

Parents make the final decision on major marriage matters. The emperor and empress are not just parents, they are also the emperor who rules over the world and the empress who is the mother of the world.

If Zhu Jinghong really chooses Baochai, he will not only mess up Gangchang, but also be guilty of rebellion and disrespect.

How much does he need to love Baochai for Zhu Jinghong to be so desperate?Is there a more affectionate man in the world than him?

Thinking of Zhu Jinghong being so affectionate, Daiyu's eyes changed even when she looked at him. She just felt that Baochai was the luckiest person in the world.

Besides, in the venue, Zhu Jinghong had walked between Baochai and Yang Jingting, holding Ruyi in his hand and looking at each other.

At this time, Yang Jingting was a little panicked, because according to the normal script, she should have gotten Ruyi in her hands.

As for Baochai on the side, his heart has jumped into his throat.

Although she had imagined that this was possible, she did not expect that Zhu Jinghong would be so bold.

Is he really going to be stupid?Baochai began to worry.

Everyone was surprised by Zhu Jinghong's actions, but because the emperor and empress were present, they all kept quiet.

After pretending to weigh the situation again and again, Zhu Jinghong looked back at the empress, smiled slightly, turned to the left, and walked towards Baochai.

Good guy, everyone at the scene was even more surprised. They didn't expect Zhu Jinghong to be so bold.

Not only the concubines and concubines did not expect that Baochai was also shocked. She rarely lost her composure like this.

Looking into Zhu Jinghong's eyes, Baochai was surrounded by happiness, but she still shook her head slightly, hoping that Zhu Jinghong would not be stupid.

On the throne, the queen's expression also turned ugly, and as for the emperor... his expression was even worse.

The female officer following Zhu Jinghong warned fearfully: "Your Highness, please be careful!"

However, Zhu Jinghong didn't pay any attention to it. He looked at Baochai and said with a smile: "You gave me the sachet, and I give you a wish in return. This is called reciprocity!"

The sachet in Zhu Jinghong's mouth was hanging on his leather belt, and Baochai noticed it from the beginning.

"If you do this, you will cause big trouble..." Baochai couldn't help but speak.

"I'll take care of everything!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong suppressed his smile, his expression became solemn, and handed Ruyi to Baochai.

There is no doubt that Baochai wanted to be Zhu Jinghong's wife, but she could not bear to bring trouble to her lover, so she did not reach out immediately, but shook her head again with a look of embarrassment.

And these details were also noticed by Yang Qingyin.

Facing crises and temptations, which are the most testing times for people's hearts, Baochai's reaction throughout the whole process shows that she also puts herself in Zhu Jinghong's shoes.

"Take it!" Zhu Jinghong smiled again.

On the side of the throne, Chen Zhi was already happy. Zhu Jinghong was indeed that "stupid", and the crisis between her and Prince Rui could be resolved.

"Take it!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong's determination, Baochai's defenses were completely lost.

She has always been a rational person, but at this moment she cannot help but be overwhelmed by emotions. She cannot restrain her desire to marry Zhu Jinghong, and reaches out her hands under the other's repeated urging.

Seeing Baochai take Ruyi, everyone at the scene was shocked.

On the attic, Zhu Yunsheng murmured: "How could it be...how could it be like this? Brother Thirteen is crazy!"

Something unimaginable happened. Daiyu also turned to stone, which completely changed her view of Zhu Jinghong, hailing him as the most innocent person in history.

Ruyi fell into Baochai's hand, and the cold feeling made her sober up. However, the result was irreversible at this moment.

At this moment, her mood was complicated, including joy, heaviness, worry and fear, and all kinds of messy thoughts came to her mind.

She even recalled that day at the ancestral house in Jinling, when the wind blew up the curtain and the two of them caught a glimpse of each other. That was the moment when their relationship began. "The good wind, with its power, sends me to the blue clouds..."

Thinking that now, she might become Zhu Jinghong's wife and the extremely noble Princess of Ming Dynasty, Baochai unconsciously chanted this sentence in her heart.

From Baochai's point of view, everything is so incredible, but Ruyi is really in her hands.

When Baochai was at a loss, Zhu Jinghong reminded him softly: "Princess, it's time to thank you!"

This was according to etiquette, but Baochai still hesitated, but in the end she knelt down because there was no turning back at this time.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the generous gift!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled like a child when he looked at the fat girl in front of him who had a beautiful face and was exactly what he wanted.

At this moment, outside the main hall, Zhu Xianming looked at the queen on one side and asked with a cold face: "Is this also your arrangement?"

Yang Qingyin didn't know how to answer for a moment, and she had scolded Zhu Jinghong half to death in her heart.

The emperor was not satisfied with Yang Jingting, and he was even less satisfied with Baochai.

Seeing that Ruyi had been handed to Baochai, Zhu Xianming was already furious.

I saw him getting up from the throne, flicking his sleeves, turning around with a dark face, and walked towards the main hall of Kunning Palace.

The emperor's sudden departure brought the atmosphere to a freezing point. Everyone became frightened and paid more attention to their words and deeds, for fear that they would be severely punished for making any mistakes.

The emperor left in anger. Zhu Jinghong had expected this, but he was not panicked at all.

The result was better than he expected, because at least the queen was still there, so the ceremony could continue.

I saw him walking away from Baochai, picking up the sachet from the tray held by the female officer, and came to Yang Jingting.

At this moment, he could see that Yang Jingting's face was full of tears, and she was obviously very sad at this moment.

"Sister Ting!" Zhu Jinghong handed the sachet to Yang Jingting.

"Brother Thirteen, am I really not as good as him?" Yang Jingting asked in a low voice. She just wanted to understand.

"Sister Ting, you know that I always do whatever I want, and my mother can't restrain me... Even if you take the position of princess, you will only be in more pain than you are now!"

"Now that the matter is over, does my sister still want this sachet?"

Looking at the sachet in front of her, although Yang Jingting was extremely sad and felt a little humiliated, she really couldn't refuse the sachet in front of her.

Because in her opinion, there is no better man in the world than Zhu Jinghong, and she can no longer be devoted to any other man.

In fact, from another perspective, the prince's side concubine is also a status canonized by the imperial court. The body of the first-grade imperial concubine is not strictly speaking a concubine.

At least Yang Jingting took care of herself like this and then took the sachet from Zhu Jinghong.

"Thank you... Your Highness for the generous gift!"

This was the result. Several female officials behind Zhu Jinghong knew the inside story and were stunned when they saw this scene. Then they turned back to look in the direction of the throne.

This kind of thing has never happened before, so they don't know how to deal with it, so they can only ask the queen for instructions.

Baochai is Yuanchun's cousin. If Baochai becomes the princess to bind the old thirteenth and the prince, the queen will be able to accept this result with a pinched nose.

Putting aside these interest entanglements, Yang Qingyin actually liked Baochai, a smart girl.

From an emotional point of view, she also knew that Villeroy Baochai's emotional intelligence was the only way to persuade the irritable Lao Shisan.

"Continue!" Yang Qingyin said solemnly.

Her words were equivalent to endorsement of Zhu Jinghong's choice, so his behavior just now was not considered disobedient.

Of course, the premise is that the queen can convince the emperor again.

At this moment, the ceremony continued. Zhu Jinghong led the two concubines to salute the queen and the concubines. The process was extremely complicated.

After about ten minutes, the whole ceremony was completely over, and the queen officially left the stage according to the ceremony.

As for Baochai and Yang Jingting, they were introduced to the Shangyi Bureau and completed a series of ritual procedures according to the system.

After these procedures are completed, the concubine should return to the palace and wait for the royal family to officially start the marriage process.

As for the concubine Yang Jingting, she will stay with the queen to educate her. After the concubine is canonized, she will be carried into the palace, which highlights the dignity of both the front and the side.

All the concubines and concubines left the scene one after another. They had eaten such a big meal today, but no one dared to talk nonsense at this moment.

"Oh my... today's situation is really unexpected. Who would have thought that Bao Yatou would be chosen!"

After saying this, Chen Zhi came to Yuan Chun's side and said in front of everyone: "Sister-in-law, back then you thought that Bao Yatou couldn't be elected, and you even advised her not to run for the election just to be boring. Now it's obvious that you have misjudged her!"

Chen Zhi said these words in public to let everyone know that although Yuan Chun and the future Princess Xiang were cousins, there was actually no kindness at all.

One shows that the prince's family is ruthless, and the other shows that the princess is wise and discerning.

Yuanchun's face became more and more ugly. Thinking of her useless family, the anger in her heart grew higher and higher.

After giving Chen Zhi a cold look, Yuan Chun walked out with her entourage. When she passed by Zhu Jinghong, she wanted to say something, but in the end she left without saying a word.

Today's situation has changed from what she expected. She must go back immediately to discuss with the prince and readjust her response strategy.

No matter what, Zhu Jinghong is so important, and they must try their best to catch him instead of letting King Rui and his wife cheat him away.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong was still standing where he was, waiting for the summons of the emperor and empress.

"Thirteenth brother, now that you have got what you wanted, why are you so depressed?" Chen Zhi came over.

"Sixth sister-in-law, dad seems to be angry!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhi almost laughed out loud, secretly thinking that Old Thirteen was really a fool.

The old man's face looked like that just now, how could he still sound angry?If you don't get angry on the spot, you are already well behaved.

"It's okay. We'll just talk about it later. I still have some things to do at home... I'll take my leave now!"

After saying this, Chen Zhi stepped out and walked out. She would not dare to stay in such a place of right and wrong.

Besides, in the Kunning Palace at this moment, the emperor was stern and silent, while Yang Qingyin was thinking about how to speak.

The maids in the room have been ordered by the queen to leave, otherwise they will be scared to death in this environment.

The two were in a stalemate for a while. Zhu Xianming looked up at the queen and knocked the cup off the coffee table. The cup shattered with a "pop" and the tea splashed.

"This bastard, bastard..."

"Such disobedience is unforgivable... I will destroy this little bastard!"

The emperor was furious, but the queen just watched, which made Zhu Xianming even more angry.

"Why don't you say anything? Is this the good son you raised?"

After making eye contact with the emperor, Yang Qingyin did not say a word of defense, but knelt down without any warning.

In fact, in all the years that he and his wife had been together, the queen rarely paid such a courtesy, but this time Zhu Xianming did not help her.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty is right. It is my concubine who failed to teach her son well. All the mistakes are my fault!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to depose this concubine before deposing Thirteen!"

"The fourth child is cowardly, the sixth child is insidious, the thirteenth child is foolish, Sheng'er has no ladylike attitude... I really deserve death!"

After saying this, Yang Qingyin kowtowed to the emperor and did not get up.

This made Zhu Xianming stand up, and he scolded him for a while without changing his words.

When he reached the door of Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Xianming stood behind Yang Qingyin and shouted outside: "Let Old Thirteen get in!"
