King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 393
Besides, outside at this moment, Zhu Yunsheng and several attendants stood in front of Zhu Jinghong.

"Brother Thirteen, are you crazy?"

Zhu Yunsheng was not joking, but asked seriously.

Looking towards the main hall of Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong sighed: "Third sister, I'm afraid my brother will be in trouble this time. You can't just die without saving him!"

His demeanor and tone suggested that he was going to die calmly, even if thousands of people died.

In the eyes of Daiyu and Xiangyun, Zhu Jinghong did it for the love of his heart. Even if he disobeyed the emperor, he would still choose the one he loved. This was even more affectionate than the male protagonists in the novel.

There is no doubt that these two girls have become his crushes at this moment.

"Your Highness, the Lord has summoned you to see you!"

"understood!"

After answering, Zhu Jinghong looked at Zhu Yunsheng and said, "Third sister... I'll go in first!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and disappeared into the gate.

As soon as he entered the Diannuan Pavilion, he saw the queen kneeling on the ground, so he quickly stepped forward to help his mother up.

"Mom, the ground is cold, don't kneel down and break your body!"

After being helped up by Zhu Jinghong, Yang Qingyin glared at him fiercely and then asked: "So you still know how to feel sorry for your mother. I thought I only cared about that girl in my heart!"

"How dare my son..."

"Asshole, is there anything in this world that you dare not do?"

Being ignored by Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming's anger became more and more intense. He almost yelled this sentence, without any restraint at all.

"Dad... my son just chose the person he likes, what's the big deal!"

"How dare you talk back?"

"Son, I don't dare!" Zhu Jinghong knelt down honestly, and then he would answer seriously.

"Don't you dare? That girl from the Xue family lost her father at a young age, and if you choose her as the princess... you will lose the royal family's face!"

Although he was kneeling, Zhu Jinghong was not short-sighted at all, and immediately replied: "How much does the royal family's reputation have to do with me?"

"You have conquered south and north, and the world is convinced. Is it because of your son that you are not the emperor of the ages?"

"Dad... don't blame your son for saying you are stingy. You should look beyond the world. Your journey should be the stars and the sea!"

Zhu Jinghong's words were like a barrage of words, which almost made Zhu Xianming think that he was the one who made the mistake.

"Asshole, you are so presumptuous..."

Taking three steps and two steps forward, Zhu Xianming kicked Zhu Jinghong on the shoulder. The latter only tilted his body slightly to show respect for the kick.

"If you have something to say, please say it, don't do anything..." Yang Qingyin offered words of comfort.

However, as soon as Yang Qingyin finished speaking, Zhu Jinghong stood up like a stubborn donkey and continued: "Dad... even though my son was picked up, he has made some achievements these days. My son has never asked for a reward. Today's son Just open your mouth shamelessly!"

He had never spoken... Zhu Xianming wanted to curse when he heard this. He had heard this kid's words several times.

However, Zhu Jinghong continued: "You have always made clear rewards and punishments. Your son wants the Xue family daughter to be the princess. Will you reward him or not?"

Seeing that this bastard was getting more and more outrageous, Yang Qingyin was so angry that she reached out and slapped her youngest son twice, scolding: "Old Thirteen, why are you talking to your father? You are too presumptuous!"

"Mom, what mistake did your son make by choosing the woman he likes? When my father chose you...could it be against his will?"

"What...are you talking about?" Yang Qingyin was so angry that she kicked Zhu Jinghong again.

As for the emperor, his face was ashen at the moment. It would be an exaggeration to say that he wanted to kill someone. It would be surprising if others were frightened to death when they saw him.

To be honest, what Zhu Jinghong said from the beginning to now is really unseemly and unreasonable. If it were left to his brothers, they would have died a hundred times.

But who makes him the legitimate son? Let alone these bastard words, I'm afraid he really rebelled, and the most he can do is be imprisoned.

"It is said that the most beloved children in the world are parents, but you are so entangled in this... My son thinks that things in the world may not be like this!"

This was even more outrageous. He almost pointed at the emperor and empress and said, "You are not worthy of being parents."

However, the next moment, Zhu Jinghong used the prepared means.

"You are not as good as Sixth Brother. At least they care about their son's thoughts, care about his feelings, and support his son's preferences!"

Lao Liu and his wife had no good intentions. Although Zhu Jinghong wanted to take advantage of their scheme, he would not let them manipulate them. At this time, giving them some eye drops would be the reward.

"You said Lao Liu...supports you?" Zhu Xianming's face showed a cold look. Sure enough, his attention had been diverted.

"En!" Zhu Jinghong responded.

Prince Rui's family supported Baochai in choosing a concubine. Yang Qingyin knew about this, but she didn't know that these two people also supported Baochai as a concubine. They even encouraged Lao Shisan when they heard this.

Yang Qingyin can be sure that Lao Liu and his wife understand her feelings, but they still persuade Lao Thirteen to choose Baochai...

What do they have in mind?Yang Qingyin understood it after just a moment's thought.

This also corresponds to what she said before. It was because she failed to educate her son well that she raised such insidious people as Lao Liu.

Yang Qingyin can think of this, and Zhu Xianming can naturally think of it too.

"The two of them told you that you wanted to choose the girl from the Xue family?" Zhu Xianming asked coldly.

"Dad has nothing to do with Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law. I want to choose Baochai myself. Sixth Brother just lets me do what I want. Don't leave any regrets in this life!"

Although the words were nice, Zhu Jinghong did not forget to remind me: "Just before I ran for election, my sixth sister-in-law also encouraged me, and many people present heard it!"

At this moment, Zhu Xianming became more and more angry, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be real.

Lao Liu even deceived an honest man like Lao Shisan. If he were allowed to become emperor, would he really be able to love his brothers?

For the first time, Zhu Xianming had such doubts, and when doubts arise and they are unable to communicate, they can easily turn into disgust or even abandonment.

But soon, the emperor suppressed these inappropriate thoughts, because once these thoughts took root, they would shake the foundation of the current balance of the court.

Nowadays, war clouds are gathering in the northwest, Jinling is implementing the New Deal, and the stability of the court is Zhu Xianming's priority.

Looking up at the livid emperor, Zhu Jinghong continued: "Dad... the sixth brother and the sixth sister-in-law are so kind to your son. Neither you nor your mother have ever thought about your son like this!"

After sneering twice, Zhu Xianming looked at the idiot in front of him and scolded: "Get out of here. Go back to the palace now. You are not allowed to go anywhere... Just wait for the palace to reflect!"

"Oh...Then the son resigned!"

Is this a pass?Zhu Jinghong was a little surprised, but at the same time felt lucky.

After he walked out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Xianming sat back on the chair.

"Lao Liu... He even framed his own brother, this bastard bastard!"

Although he was very angry, Zhu Xianming generally knew the virtues of the sixth man, so he had no intention of sending this guy to the palace to ask questions.

So what if you ask clearly?Tell the world what happened today was instigated by Lao Liu?Framing his biological brother?
The drama of the royal brothers' feud was once again exposed to the world. Zhu Xianming really couldn't afford to shame that person, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Perhaps out of anger, Zhu Xianming wanted to take a drink of water to moisten his throat, but when he reached out his hand, he took out nothing because the cup was smashed by him.

"Tea..." Zhu Xianming shouted outside.

Yang Qingyin was in the room, and she picked up the teapot from the side, took another cup, filled a cup of tea, and then handed it to her husband.

"What are you going to do with Liu Liu?" Yang Qingyin asked.

Although he was his own son, Yang Qingyin was willing to suppress the sixth child in order to help the prince stabilize his position and to give the three brothers a good ending.

However, on this point, the couple's positions are completely different.

Zhu Xianming needs someone to check and balance the prince, and he also needs someone to be the prince's backup, so he can't really do anything to Lao Liu.

Of course, appropriate punishment is also necessary.

"Cheng Ying!"

When the emperor called him, Cheng Ying, who was guarding the door, quickly came in and knelt respectfully in front of the emperor.

"Immediately send a message to Prince Rui and ask him to wait at Qianqing Palace!"

Zhu Xianming would not feel better if he didn't scold this kid.

It can only be scolded, and it cannot be scolded because of today's incident, otherwise the sixth child will know that it was the thirteenth child who spilled the beans... Zhu Xianming thought this way.

Even at this moment, he was still thinking about Zhu Jinghong. It is no exaggeration to say that father's love is silent.

"Yes!"

After Cheng Ying withdrew, Zhu Xianming looked at his wife again and asked, "Are you going to admit the matter about the princess?"

Yang Qingyin replied: "The old thirteen people have all chosen, and so many people have seen it, how can the royal family go back on its promise!"

Although she arranged for her niece to be the princess, she could also accept Baochai as the princess to strengthen the relationship between the thirteenth and the fourth.After all, no matter how close a niece is to her, she cannot kiss her biological son!
In order to alienate Lao Shisan and Lao Liu, she will find an opportunity to explain the stakes of this incident to Zhu Jinghong and let him know that Lao Liu is insidious and should not play with him.

"Are you going crazy too?" Zhu Xianming became increasingly dissatisfied.

"That girl is Xue Zhen's daughter. Xue Zhen worked hard for the royal family and died young..."

"If you make that girl a princess, the world will also say that you miss your loyal ministers. I'm afraid no one may despise the royal family because of this!"

As long as the royal family is willing to influence things like public opinion, it is actually very easy.

Yang Qingyin said these words, and after Zhu Xianming thought about it carefully, he felt a little moved in his heart.

"But this..."

Before Zhu Xianming finished speaking, Yang Qingyin said: "Okay, Old Thirteen is right, don't be too stingy!"

"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was involved in all kinds of things. He was still a sage who has been passed down through the ages. Did he care about these little details back then?"

…………

In the Shangyi Bureau courtyard, the unsuccessful draft girls who were about to leave finally saw the Ruyi they had longed for.

However, what no one expected was that this Ruyi would appear in Baochai's hands.

Everyone was shocked, including the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau who stayed behind. What was happening now seemed impossible to them.

They even wanted to believe that Baochai and Yang Jingting exchanged tokens for fun, so the matter was completely reasonable.

But seeing Chen Shangyi personally accompany Baochai, while Yang Jingting followed behind, everyone had to believe that this outrageous thing really happened.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and prepare all kinds of ceremonial documents!" Chen Ping ordered everyone present.

"Yes!"

"Girl, please come into the palace to rest!" Chen Pinglu respectfully stepped aside.

"it is good!"

So she and Yang Jingting were led into the hall, but the seats were prioritized, which made the two people alone very embarrassed.

At this time, neither of them had regained their composure, and had no intention of speaking.

The one with the most unbalanced mentality is Yang Jingting. After all, from the beginning, she believed that she was a well-deserved princess.

Putting Ruyi aside, Baochai suddenly stood up from the chair. She felt really depressed staying here, so she planned to go for a walk outside.

In fact, Baochai felt uncomfortable staying here, so she got up and went out to relieve the latter.

Seeing Ruyi lying quietly on the main table, Yang Jingting wanted to get up and get it, but in the end she suppressed this ridiculous thought. She knew that doing so would only become a laughing stock.

Besides, outside, the beautiful ladies who were leaving came forward to greet Baochai one after another, and most of them looked at her with complicated eyes.

"Sister Bao, congratulations!"

Cui Xiuqing was the only one who could say this at this time. Among all the women, she was the only one who had a good relationship with Baochai.

"Thank you!" Baochai smiled lightly.

No matter how happy and joyful she felt, she remained at least calm at this moment, which was in line with what a calm person should have.

When marrying into the royal family, the door is as deep as the sea, and it is impossible without a bit of palace.

"Everyone, we haven't met the princess yet!" Cui Xiuqing said half-jokingly.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's just that I was selected. She is still far from being a princess!" Baochai said calmly.

Seeing that she was in a depressed mood from beginning to end, Cui Xiuqing was really impressed. She knew that she would never be in such a state of mind.

Maybe this person is really suitable for the lintel of the Tian family... Cui Xiuqing thought to herself.

Here Baochai is waiting for the Shangyi Bureau's agenda, while on the other side Zhu Jinghong, who was driven away by the emperor, also ushered in the first group of bad guys.

"Master Thirteen, did you really choose the girl from the Xue family?"

"We all heard what others said. Those people are not talking nonsense, right?"

The familiar guards surrounded Zhu Jinghong, their faces full of curiosity, hoping to get an answer from him.

From the first few to a dozen or twenty people, Zhu Jinghong was surrounded by hundreds of people before he even reached Donghua Gate, including his two unlucky brothers.

Stopping, Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice, "Are you bothered by me?"

After glancing at everyone, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "That's right... I chose the Xue family girl!"

"I will choose whoever I like, and I will be affectionate and righteous with whomever I love to be a brother. You may think I am crazy...but I, Zhu Jinghong, am such a man, such a nature, and such a pure person!"

Beautifying the character at this juncture is naturally very convincing, and no one will doubt Zhu Jinghong's sincerity and sincerity.

"Do you think I'm crazy? If you think so, that's right... But from now on, let's just pretend we don't know each other!"

In fact, everyone really thought he was crazy, but after hearing what Zhu Jinghong said, they suddenly felt that he was a well-known man.

Compared to this man, it's just that everyone's military strength is not comparable. Now even the personality charm has been thrown away by a few blocks, which really puts these Dragon Guards to shame.

No matter what others think, at least no one among the Dragon Guards will laugh at Zhu Jinghong's madness.

And with their mouths, the whole story of these deeds will spread to the army, letting everyone know that Master Thirteen is such a strong-willed man.

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Jinghong planned to follow the military route. As long as the army had an excellent opinion of him, he didn't care what others said.

As long as he becomes emperor, those who laugh and ridicule him will turn into dogs to respect and beautify him, so all he needs to do is have the last laugh.

"Thirteenth Master, I have no intention of being sarcastic..." A guard knelt down and begged for mercy.

When he knelt down, others also knelt down, and he was sincere and repentant.

Compared with Zhu Jinghong's radiant personality, these guards only felt that they had a villainous heart and were not worthy of the usual boastful and arrogant people.

"Whatever you want, get out of the way!"

When Zhu Jinghong said this, everyone stopped asking questions, but Zhu Jingchun and his wife still followed him.

At this time, the two of them were in high spirits, praising Zhu Jinghong to the sky, and admired him so much.

Of course, in the end, the two of them stopped at Donghua Gate, because they would have to leave the palace any further.

Except for Donghua Gate, Zhu Jinghong's ears were completely quiet. There was already a sedan chair from Prince Xiang's Mansion waiting for him outside.

After getting on the sedan chair, they continued to go east, but they were stopped halfway, but it was the prince who invited him to the East Palace to talk.

"Excuse me, please tell Fourth Brother that the Holy Emperor has ordered me to be banned from the palace. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Fourth Brother!"

This was all an excuse. The grounding was only after he returned to the palace. At this moment, he just didn't want to see the prince.

It has to be said that when it comes to selecting the princess, the East Palace has done almost nothing.

Zhu Jinghong didn't see the prince at this moment, so Zhu Jinghong wanted to give the prince some advice and ask him to pay more attention to his younger brother, otherwise he would leave with the sixth child.

He is now very good at using PUA's methods.

Sure enough, after Zhu Jinghong left, the prince felt uncomfortable after hearing the news, feeling that he had recently separated from the old thirteenth.

"My dear concubine, you and Miss Xue are cousins. You must have a good relationship in the future!"

Hearing the prince's words, Yuan Chun felt really mixed. Her current relationship with Baochai may not be as good as Chen Zhi's.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand!" No matter how difficult it is to repair the relationship, Yuanchun will try his best to do it.

So after saying goodbye to the prince, Yuanchun went back to the palace to find his confidant eunuch and asked him to go to Rongguo Mansion and let the Jia family go to express their congratulations to the Xue family.

"Tell my mother that she must go in person and apologize to my aunt!"

Yuanchun felt angry when thinking about her own mother, but out of filial piety she could not reprimand her verbally.

"Minions take orders!"

After the eunuch left, Baoqin brought tea to Yuan Chun and couldn't help but said: "My dear, Miss Xue family has really chosen the princess?"

"Yeah...who would have imagined it!" Yuanchun sighed.

Baoqin said with a smile: "If Miss Xue family helps me in the future, Princess Rui will be no match for my empress!"

In her opinion, although there are some misunderstandings between the Crown Princess and the Xue family, the family relationship is always blood thicker than water, so repairing the relationship with the Xue family will naturally not be a problem.

However, after hearing this, Yuanchun couldn't help but sigh. This was indeed a good thing, but it was ruined by her own mother.
