The regulations of the prince's residence were fixed in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, and were adjusted in the era of the ancestors.
But what remains unchanged is the regulation of the three halls, which are the Chengyun Hall at the outermost part of the palace, the Cunxin Hall for formal receptions, and the Yin'an Hall, which is the prince's residence.
After leaving the side courtyard, Zhu Jinghong was taken to the Cunxin Hall. Although this place was not as big as the Chengyun Hall outside, it was also unusually large in area.
The two brothers were walking up the steps when they saw a woman in palace attire walking out of the Cunxin Palace. It was Princess Rui Chen Zhi.
"Thirteenth brother, it's rare for you to be a guest at your sixth brother's place"
Looking at the plump and mature Chen Zhi, Zhu Jinghong stopped and saluted and said, "I have met the sixth sister-in-law"
p>
"Okay, come in quickly. Your sixth brother has spent all his money this time and took out all his favorite tribute tea. He has ordered people to cook it and is just waiting for you to taste it."
Chen Zhi speaks very well and has the tendency to talk endlessly, which is completely different from Yuan Chun's style.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but wonder how he could compare the two sisters-in-law.
"Thirteenth brother, what are you thinking about? Let's go." Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't speak, Zhu Jingyuan pushed him from behind.
"Um, yes, Brother Six, please invite me too."
The three of them entered the Cunxin Hall together. The furnishings in the main hall were extremely simple, which surprised Zhu Jinghong, thinking that he This sixth brother doesn't like extravagance.
Zhu Jinghong never imagined that the scene in front of him was completely poverty-stricken. Although Prince Rui's Mansion had a lot of income, it had more money to spend, and now it could not make ends meet.
The main hall was too formal, so Zhu Jingyuan led his brothers to the east side hall. The furnishings here were relatively lifelike and could bring the two brothers closer together.
"Thirteenth brother, sit down"
Zhu Jinghong was not polite and sat directly on the chair, and then said to Zhu Jingyuan, "Sixth brother, please"
See you With his posture, he thought it was his palace.
Zhu Jingyuan didn't care about this. In his heart, Zhu Jinghong was a straight person and did not have those messy thoughts in his mind.
At this time, under Chen Zhi's greeting, a girl wearing a pink moire double-breasted robe came over carrying a tray.
Looking at faces first is Zhu Jinghong’s consistent style.
First impression, he thought this girl was very beautiful. If Baochai scored ninety-nine points, the person in front of him could also score ninety-nine points.
To be honest, such beauties are rare, so Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but take a few more glances.
This scene was all seen by Zhu Jingyuan, which made him feel that everything was under control.
I saw Zhu Jingyuan wink at Chen Zhi, who immediately said, "Girl Lan, this is the Thirteenth Master who is highly skilled in martial arts and can be called the best in the world."
"Aren't you always curious? Now you can see a real person."
Obviously, the "Lan girl" in Chen Zhi's mouth is the girl who came over with the tray..
This girl is Chen Zhi's cousin. She came to the capital this time to be selected as an attendant, but she was outcompeted by Baochai and is still staying in Prince Rui's Mansion.
The prince used a girl from the Xue family to win over Zhu Jinghong, which made Prince Rui and his wife interested, so they pushed Chen Lan out today.
Chen Lan is essentially repulsive to today's arrangement, simply because she has not gained the respect of her cousin and is being given away to others like goods.
Of course, even if Chen Lan resisted, she had to obey the arrangement, because Chen Zhi controlled the lifeblood of her and her family.
"Meet the Thirteenth Master"
After Chen Lan approached, he bowed to Zhu Jinghong and saluted, feeling particularly sad in his heart.
Zhu Jinghong was thoughtful and realized that the woman in front of him was not happy, so he just nodded.
"Thirteenth Master please drink tea"
When Chen Lan was at home, she was also the sweetheart of her parents. When she arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, she was also an honored guest. Who would have thought that she would be such a low-key little girl? , becoming a slave-like person.
"Thank you"
Zhu Jinghong took the tea cup without looking at Chen Lan, which made the girl sigh in relief.
Although she is a boudoir girl, she is also a very smart person and knows what her cousin is thinking.
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan also took the tea cup and said to the brother beside him, "She is the daughter of your sixth sister-in-law and third uncle. Speaking of which, you should call her sister."
" It turns out to be Sister Lan." Zhu Jinghong responded, pretending not to understand anything.
He also didn’t expect that he was just here to see the armor and weapons, why would Lao Liu suddenly want to give him a woman again.
Just listen to Zhu Jingyuan continue to say, "When she came to Beijing this time, she originally wanted to choose Sheng'er as an attendant, but in the end she fell short, and now she is temporarily living in the palace."
"When I heard that you were coming today, this girl couldn't wait to see the heroes of the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing these words, although it was not what she thought, Chen Lan still said: Zhu Jinghong showed respect, which was indeed difficult for her.
At this time, Chen Zhi suddenly said, "I think it's better to let them talk. It just so happens that I have something to do with you, and some gifts for the Supreme Emperor have arrived. You have to see it with your own eyes."
"Oh, that's right too"
After answering his wife, Zhu Jingyuan stood up and said, "Thirteenth brother, I'll come as soon as I go"
Zhu Jingyuan and his wife left, and even asked them to leave After removing the eunuchs and maids in the main hall, only Zhu Jinghong and Chen Lan were left in the room.
It is said that men and women with strict etiquette and education have great defenses, but now these are indeed regarded as nothing. It can be seen that the royal family only uses this to control the people.
The two of them were not very familiar with each other and had nothing in common, so the hall fell silent.
Chen Lan also wanted to leave, but she was afraid of her stern cousin, so she could only stay where she was.
"Girl, where are you from?"
In the end, Zhu Jinghong opened the topic, and he would not be embarrassed to be embarrassed in front of him.reed.
As the chat here gradually started, Prince Rui and his wife on the other end were also chatting.
"This time we took a strong medicine, and the thirteenth brother also remembers our kindness. I don't know what the prince will think when he finds out."
Hearing Chen Zhi's words, Zhu Jingyuan She sneered and said, "What better way to piss him off than to death?"
Chen Zhi sighed, "Thanks to Old Thirteen for his simple mind, otherwise he wouldn't have cared about the prince's face and was easily tricked by you."
Zhu Jinghong was about to speak when he saw a eunuch rushing towards him and whispering beside him.
Zhu Jingyuan was originally in a good mood, but his expression changed immediately after hearing these words.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing Chen Zhi's inquiry, Zhu Jingyuan suppressed his anger and said, "My thirteenth brother was assassinated while traveling just now. Do you know about this?"
The assassination of Zhu Jinghong was a big deal, but both his brothers chose to minimize the big deal, and the relevant yamen did not make it public, but Chen Zhi still knew about it.
"How about being assassinated?"
"The two captured assassins have connections with Sun He's men. They have now been sent to Nanqianhu Station and are working under Li Wenzhao from Jinling. "
Speaking of this, Zhu Jingyuan said with a gloomy expression, "Just now, the two friends who were arrested approached Sun He's men and asked to come to our palace to help rescue them."
< p> "If you are in Jinyiwei and have anything to do with our family, I'm afraid we will investigate." Chen Zhi's face also became serious.Zhu Jingyuan stood up, "The important thing is that Sun He's men also found these people to frame the Jia family last time."
Chen Zhi squeezed the corners of his clothes and said with a heavy expression. "This is a frame-up and an assassination. If we continue to investigate, the relationship between your two brothers will be bad."
Zhu Jingyuan did not speak. He was already thinking about countermeasures. It was not easy to build a good relationship with his brother today. This If things get serious, they will become enemies.
At this time, Chen Zhi said, "Why did these idiots assassinate the Thirteenth Brother? Could they have been ordered by someone behind the assassination?"
Zhu Jingyuan turned around immediately, and he couldn't figure it out. Guanqiao, just because this is completely an oolong incident.
"Could it be the prince?" Chen Zhi gave a guess.
"Isn't he"
Zhu Jingyuan shook his head, and then said, "It shouldn't be him, how could he"
Although he thought it was unlikely, the royal family Who can tell what happened when the emperor was still friends with Prince Li?
Turning around, Zhu Jingyuan’s eyes were burning: “No matter what happens, we must not let this matter come out and involve us. "
The truth is indeed true. Whether it was the prince's instigation or not is not important. The key now is not to expose the matter.
He and the prince must maintain a state of fighting without breaking up, and they must be able to get along in terms of face.
If they break up before the Holy Birthday Festival and let the whole world see the joke, neither of them will have a good life.
At this time, Chen Zhi said, "What should we do? We need to come up with an idea as soon as possible." Please remember to bookmark the website. The latest, fastest, and free anti-theft website.To find and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
