King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 545: You and I will never be separated again

Zhu Yunsheng, who saw everyone leaving and sitting alone, was extremely unhappy. He immediately sneered, "Look at all of you, aren't there just a few stinky men here? I'm going to make you anxious!"

She thought it was normal for the women from Prince Xiang's Mansion to run away, but she felt there was nothing they could do if Daiyu ran over to her. But even Xiangyun Yingchun and others also went, which made Zhu Yunsheng feel unbalanced.

Although he was sarcastic, Zhu Yunsheng also stood up alone and came to the guardrail of the balcony.

At this moment, downstairs, the two brothers Zhu Jinghong and Zhu Muchun were slowly walking up the steps.

"I'll go greet the prince!" Zhen Qin shouted.

"I want to go too!" Nuomin shouted.

So the two people competed with each other and ran straight towards the stairs. During this period, the two people kept pushing and pushing each other, which made the maids present laugh inwardly.

Seeing that these two people were arguing again, and they were still in the "outsider" place of the East Palace, Baochai's face suddenly became ugly.

"Come back and sit down!" Baochai said coldly, trying her best to suppress her anger.

The recent Spring Festival has been "abnormal", and it is becoming more and more abnormal. Tanchun has seen all this.

In Prince Xiang's Mansion, although Baochai's status as the princess was quasi-respected, she did not have full rights as the mistress of the inner house because Zhu Jinghong was too flirtatious.

"No need to be restrained, please sit down!" Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile.

"Eldest nephew, please..."

Due to her recent pregnancy, Baochai's intensity in managing affairs has weakened, but she still has high authority in the palace.

"Ah...I...I'm fine!"

If she makes a joke at this banquet, she will be in big trouble... Tan Chun thought.

Daiyu Xiangyun made fun of Zhu Jinghong. Although it was not the first time for the Jia family to see Sanchun, she was still frightened when she heard it.

In reciprocity, the concubines of the East Palace also arrived at the scene and stood by their side dutifully.

The one who caught his attention the most at the scene was Daiyu. Unfortunately, every time the two of them looked at each other, Daiyu would directly change her gaze.

On this basis, Baochai was able to suppress the other girls without causing any problems even though she was pregnant and had inconvenience as a director, which proved her means and ability.

The main reason for the difference is that in Yuanchun, the prince had full support and had the power of life and death over the concubines in the inner house.

"The Thirteenth Master is like that. You see, he is polite to his nephew and is not afraid of being laughed at!"

Although family scandals should not be made public, if the two of them are allowed to have trouble, it will only make things worse.

Isn’t this girl afraid of society? Have you become so bold now?
Today's outfit is really attractive, not bad...

"Will he notice the difference in me? He should notice me, right? Will he think I'm too showy?"

"Second sister...it's time to salute!" Xichun reminded her from the side.

Although her face was extremely ashamed, her heart was as sweet as honey, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously, which aroused Tanchun's curiosity.

"This girl, sooner or later you will not be able to escape from my grasp!" Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.

On the surface, it seems that Yuanchun's management effect is better, but in fact, it cannot be said that it is Baochai Taicai.

As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. I finally mustered up the courage to greet the spring, but now I feel inexplicably worried again.

The only one who didn't have this intention was Yingchun, because like Zhen Qin and others, her whole heart was tied to Zhu Jinghong.

Even though Baochai was inconvenient at the moment, he still wanted to stand up and salute, but Yuanchun stopped him.

So she moved her position, got closer to Yingchun and asked, "Second sister, what's wrong with you?"

When Zhu Jinghong graded Yingchun, he kept looking at her, causing Yingchun to lower her head shyly.

The prince was really kind, and everyone present could feel this, so they gradually relaxed and sat down as scheduled.

Although Zhu Jingyuan spoke enthusiastically, Zhu Jinghong was completely absent-minded and focused on the girls at the scene.

As Zhu Jingyuan said polite words, the family banquet officially began.

Daiyu was frustrated here, but he was not without gains. For example, Yingchun looked over frequently, which attracted Zhu Jinghong's attention.

"Fourth brother, please..."

Although it was a family banquet, and although the prince himself was kind to others, he was still a prince after all, and no one dared to neglect the etiquette.

"Look, they...haven't all come up yet, why are they so pretentious!" Daiyu whispered to Xiangyun.

In fact, normally speaking, Baochai can come to this banquet alone. There is no need to bring people like Zhen Qin. It is only Yuanchun who kindly invites everyone to the banquet.

"Thirteenth brother, you have gone to the land of Yanliao and traveled a long distance to serve the country. I really admire you for your brother..."

At this time, Zhu Jinghong and the prince had appeared. Except for the prince's concubine Yuan Chun and Baochai, everyone else at the scene saluted very formally.

So she was very worried at the moment, thinking that her sister had become stupid while reading and was in an abnormal mental state.

The three people were polite to each other, and the scene was full of joy.

"Uncle Thirteen, please..."

Looking at Xiangyun who was smiling all over his face, Daiyu said seriously: "It seems that you are the only one laughing at him!"

"Thirteenth brother, please..."

As soon as she said these words, Zhen Qin immediately lost her temper and took two steps back very honestly. Of course, Nuo Min did not dare to make any more mistakes.

Could it be that the detective girl discovered it? Yingchun was shocked, and her emotions showed on her face.

"Second sister, this is not home. You should be more careful and don't do anything inappropriate!" Tan Chun reminded in a low voice.

Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief at these words, and she thought her little thoughts had been discovered.

Just as she was about to reply, she heard Crown Princess Yuanchun's voice: "Sister Lin, come here!"

When Yuan Chun called her, Daiyu could only leave Xiangyun and walked straight to Yuan Chun.

The situation at this time is that both Zhu Jinghong and his wife and the prince and his wife are in the main position, with the former just slightly stepping aside.

So when Daiyu came to Yuanchun, she also narrowed the distance between her and Zhu Jinghong.

"Meet the Crown Princess!"

"Today is a family dinner, so don't call me Princess. Don't forget that you and I are serious cousins!"

Hearing this, Baochai on the side was thoughtful. She felt that Yuanchun was trying to point her out. After all, they were also serious cousins.

"Your sister Bao is pregnant, and you didn't even care about her, so you just talked to girl Yun!" Yuanchun complained.

In fact, Baochai really thought too much. The reason why Yuanchun called Daiyu over was simply to push her in front of Baochai and get closer to Zhu Jinghong indirectly.

In other words, Yuanchun plays the role of matchmaker, which is much more powerful than the bachelors of the East Palace.

Yiyan came to Baochai, and Daiyu asked respectfully: "Sister Bao, sister Yuanchun said that I am ignorant, you won't blame me, right?"

"Good sister..."

Baochai was about to speak when Zhu Jinghong said: "Girl, your sister Baochai always thinks of you and says that you are her most intimate person. How can she be willing to blame you!"

Slowly turning her head to look at Zhu Jinghong, Baochai felt a little sour in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face.

"I think the prince is my confidant, otherwise how could he express my concubine's thoughts so clearly!" In front of her sweetheart, Baochai could not completely control her emotions, and there was some complaint in her tone.

"Ah...haha, you and I are of the same mind, how can I still not know your depth!" Baochai's face turned red when she heard this, because Zhu Jinghong had specially explained the word "depth" before, so that she could understand it at this time. An indescribable association.

The relationship between the "mistresses" became public, so Daiyu has always avoided getting close to Zhu Jinghong in public, firstly because she was afraid that people would gossip, and secondly because she was afraid that Baochai would be too worried.

Although she believes that Baochai will accept her, Daiyu, who has experienced it, understands how crazy a woman can be for her beloved.

So at this moment, Daiyu immediately made her position clear: "Thirteenth Master, I was talking to Sister Bao, and you interrupting for no reason... would be too rude!"

Daiyu told Baochai that she would always stand by her side.

In front of everyone, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: "Girl, I am a reckless man...I don't know etiquette!"

Hearing this, the others were not surprised. Zhu Muchun, who was sitting a little further away, couldn't help but said: "Thirteenth uncle, etiquette is the foundation of governing a country. Confucius said: Being respectful but disrespectful will make you tired, being cautious and disrespectful... …”

"Eldest nephew, who is the junior between you and me?" Zhu Jinghong interrupted directly.

"My nephew is a junior!"

"Is it normal for a junior to teach an elder a lesson?"

With just one sentence, Zhu Muchun was choked up again, and the prince and his wife beside him smiled.

It's not something to be happy about when a family is joking. After all, this is a family dinner and not a court meeting.

"Chun'er, why don't you apologize to your thirteenth uncle quickly?" Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but speak.

Zhu Muchun was still dissatisfied. At this moment, he had already thought of a response, so he said: "Dad, my son thinks what the Thirteenth Master said is ridiculous..."

Of course Zhu Jingyuan knew that his brother was talking nonsense, but now that he was useful, he had to ignore trivial matters.

Looking at his unhappy son, Zhu Jingyuan saw his former self, which made him feel heavy.

"I think what you said is a big fallacy. You think you have learned some scriptures, but you dare to speak so brazenly here. There are simply no rules... Get out!"

In order to prevent Zhu Muchun from affecting the atmosphere, Zhu Jingyuan directly wanted to drive him away.

"Farewell, son!"

Zhu Muchun didn't want to come over in the first place. Not to mention how happy he was to be asked to leave now, he bowed and left directly.

"This kid is always hostile to me. What did I owe him in my previous life?" Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.

At this moment, he felt more and more that he had done the right thing in fighting for the reserve, and it was too unreliable to leave his destiny to others.

Obviously I am still helping the prince's family, but this kid commits crimes regardless of the occasion. If the fourth child becomes the emperor and he becomes the prince, how can he be as good as me?

"Fourth brother, my eldest nephew has read too many books, so he wants to distinguish everything from others!" Zhu Jinghong said to smooth things over.

"He just has no rules. It's all my fault. I didn't teach him well!" Zhu Jingyuan looked apologetic.

"Come on, come on... let's drink!"

The banquet continued, and the atmosphere remained harmonious.

After the banquet, everyone went to the garden together. The garden of the East Palace was rearranged, making everyone feel refreshed.

In fact, Zhu Jinghong really wanted to go alone and talk to the girl he liked, but the prince didn't give him this chance at all.

Listening to the teasing sounds of the orioles and swallows around him, Zhu Jinghong felt as uncomfortable as Sun Wukong who was guarding the peach garden.

Fortunately, as God wished, the prince got tired after walking for a while, so he found a pavilion and said he wanted to rest, which gave Zhu Jinghong room to move freely.

"Third sister...what are you doing?"

Holding the wood pulp in his hand, Zhu Yunsheng replied: "Brother Thirteen, we are going on a cruise, do you want to come with us?"

There is a pond in the garden, which is large enough for boating, so I put a small boat in it and it can carry seven or eight people without any problem.

After taking a look at Zhu Yunsheng and the others, Zhu Jinghong said: "There are so many of you, I'm afraid we won't be able to fit them all in!"

Although there are only three of them, there are already six maids on the ship, and it is really not safe to add three more.

"I happen to want to take a boat too, why don't you leave one of you on the shore, and we'll get on after you've had enough fun!"

When Zhu Jinghong said this, Zhu Yunsheng and Xiang Yun's eyes consciously fell on Daiyu.

This made Daiyu feel isolated for a moment, so she instinctively approached Zhu Yunsheng.

Zhu Yunsheng replied: "Brother Thirteen, we have a deep love for each other as brothers and sisters, why don't we get on the boat together first!"

"Third sister...although you and I are brothers and sisters, after all, there are differences between men and women..."

Zhu Jinghong's extremely lame reason made Zhu Yunsheng and Xiang Yun laugh.

At this time, Xiangyun asked: "Thirteenth Master, besides you, are there other men here?"

Zhu Jinghong's expression remained normal and he said: "Girl Yun, you two have brought the word "yun" with you. I think it's most appropriate to get on the boat together first!"

"That's all, let's just keep talking less, lest Brother Thirteen get anxious and hit someone!" As he spoke, Zhu Yunsheng pulled Xiangyun to the small pier.

After the two people left, Zhu Jinghong finally looked at Daiyu, who turned her back to him.

"You used to cry when you couldn't see me, but now that I'm by your side, you don't even look at me?"

"Who is crying for you!" Daiyu said in a loud voice.

"You can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself!"

Seeing that Daiyu still didn't turn around, Zhu Jinghong sighed and said, "I'm going to Liaodong in two days. I don't know when we will meet next time!"

"Maybe when the time comes, it's very possible for you to stop marrying me!"

Hearing these words, Daiyu couldn't bear it, so she turned decisively to face Zhu Jinghong.

Her eyes were red and filled with tears.

Obviously Zhu Jinghong's words really made her feel reluctant to leave, and she felt sad in the face of this separation.

Although Daiyu didn't say a word, Zhu Jinghong understood everything from her eyes, so he stopped joking at this time.

"You have always been weak. You must take care of yourself after I leave. When I return from Aurous Hill... I will take you into my house!"

Approaching Daiyu, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "You and I will never be separated again!"

These words were full of true feelings and really moved Daiyu so much that her tears kept rolling down, which made Zhu Jinghong feel heartbroken.

So he raised his hand to wipe it away. He thought Daiyu would take two steps back, but unexpectedly the girl didn't move at all.

Brushing Daiyu's cheek with his fingers, Zhu Jinghong touched her hot tears, but his mood was a little strange.

How lucky it is that such a beautiful woman puts her whole heart on him...

"Stop crying, everything will be fine when I come back!" Zhu Jinghong soothed softly.

At this time, Daiyu realized that the distance between the two was too close, so she took the initiative to take two steps back.

After Zi Gu took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face, Dai Yufang said angrily: "I'm going to die... With so many people watching, you behave so frivolously. This is not going to kill me!"

At this moment, there were seven or eight maids standing on the shore, so Daiyu was embarrassed and annoyed.

"You didn't see anything, right?" Zhu Jinghong asked, raising his voice.

The older maid in the meantime replied: "Replying to the prince, I have seen and heard nothing!"
