Chapter 375: First Test of Cloud and Rain
In the palace, flowers, trees, tables and chairs are all fully furnished, making it look more like a residential place than before.
After looking around the outer hall, inner hall, the official offices of the left and right courtyards, the warehouse and the living quarters of the guards and eunuchs, Zhu Jinghong stepped into the inner house.
When we got here, Zhang Lin and other guards did not follow.
Even if there were no female relatives living inside, Zhu Jinghong didn’t take the initiative to invite them, so they could only wait outside.
Zhu Jinghong’s palace is called Yin’an Hall. Behind Yin’an Hall is the Tongxin Hall, the princess’s bedroom. The two are connected by a corridor, which means that the prince and the princess are of the same mind.
Going around again, Zhu Jinghong stood under the corridor of Tongxin Hall, looked at Deng An standing beside him, and asked, "Where does the Qin family girl live? I'll go see her."
p>
Deng An replied, "Just listen to Yuzhai in the back garden. Qingjing lives there."
"You can arrange it and lead the way."
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's mood Yes, Deng An was also very happy. He believed that his master would be even happier in a while.
As Zhu Jinghong walked to Tingyuzhai, a eunuch went to send a message and asked Qin Keqing and others to prepare to welcome him.
At this time in Tingyuzhai, Qin Keqing looked even more radiant after carefully dressing up. Even the eunuch who was delivering the message felt dazzled.
With the two girls beside him, Keqing arrived at the door of Tingyuzhaiyuan, feeling worried and scared but also a little hopeful.
Worry and fear are easy to understand. As for expectation, I actually want to pass this test as soon as possible so that I don’t have to worry about it in the future.
In her complicated mood, Keqing heard voices and footsteps, and her heart beat faster.
The so-called expectations quickly disappeared, leaving only panic and fear at this moment.
As soon as he heard what would happen soon, Keqing felt his mouth was dry and he couldn't even think.
So much so that when Zhu Jinghong appeared at the corner, she even forgot to greet him.
Deng An said "um hum" a few times before Ke Qing woke up from his mental breakdown, and the latter hurriedly faced Zhu Jinghong.
Because she was too nervous, Keqing tripped over the hem of her skirt before taking two steps. Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong quickly stepped forward to support her.
"It's okay, girl"
This is already in the palace, and all the girls have moved in here. Zhu Jinghong will no longer pretend to be a saint, and is holding Ke Qing's waist firmly at this moment. limb.
"No problem, little girl, see the Thirteenth Master"
Seeing that Keqing was about to bow, Zhu Jinghong directly grabbed her and said slowly, "No need to be polite, I just came to see you." Look at you."
He could feel that the girl in front of him was extremely nervous, so he said in a calm and comforting tone, "It's okay for you to live here."
"Everything is fine here. , Thank you Thirteenth Master for your blessing."
After straightening Keqing's hair, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk."
"Thirteenth Master, please"
"If you don't want to be invited, let's go together." Zhu Jinghong pulled Ke Qing inside.
Baozhu Ruizhu stepped aside and allowed Zhu Jinghong and the others to enter.
But when they were about to follow them in, they were stopped by several eunuchs.
"We will serve you inside, so you won't bother the two girls."
Obviously, this is also Deng An's arrangement.
For Zhu Jinghong’s affairs, Deng An was very thoughtful.
As soon as Zhu Jinghong entered the hall, they were the only two people left in the room, and the responsibility of serving others fell on Ke Qing.
"Thirteenth Master Drinks Tea"
When the two were alone, Keqing became more nervous, so much so that the hand holding the tea trembled.
Soon, her hand was held by Zhu Jinghong, and then the teacup in her hand was taken over.
After taking a sip, Zhu Jinghong nodded and said, "The tea made by the girl is particularly fragrant."
"Thirteenth Master was joking"
"Sit down and talk." Zhu Jinghong pointed to the chair next to him.
But Qing could only lean down and sit down, with nervousness still visible in his expression.
"Don't be nervous, I don't know how to eat shit." As he said this, Zhu Jinghong's eyes never left his body.
It seems that he has been holding back for too long in the palace. At this moment when the man and woman are alone, he has an indulgent mentality.
After drinking tea, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Is the girl living well and eating and drinking well?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lao Shisan, everything is fine with the little girl."
p>
"You don't have to be too restrained. I have always been kind, so let's treat each other as you and me, and put aside all the red tape and formalities."
When I heard that Zhu Jinghong claimed to be "kind", Qing only felt that it was particularly strange. Ridiculous, at least Jia Zhen would never think so.
"Yes"
"What have girls been doing here these days?"
Zhu Jinghong took the initiative to stir up the topic, and the two of them followed his guidance. As we chatted, the deep feelings and embarrassment gradually disappeared.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Jinghong opened Qin Keqing's heart with a down-to-earth conversation, which at least made her no longer so nervous.
Seeing people talking and laughing inside, Deng An standing at the door was also very happy. At this moment, he had a full sense of accomplishment.
Zhu Jinghong is a person who can't sit still. After chatting for a while, he stood up and wanted to see the situation in Tingyu Zhai.
But Qing would not let him walk alone, so he immediately got up and followed him.
After walking into the inner room, the environment became quieter, but Qing's originally peaceful heart became nervous again.
She lowered her head and followed, but unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong suddenly stopped and turned around, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Ah Thirteenth Master"
Zhu Jinghong was not a saint at this moment. He opened his arms to hug Ke Qing into his arms, and then lowered his head to look at the beauty in front of him.
If people hold it in for a long time, they will get angry very quickly, especially when they are able to take and take away things.Under the eyes.
"Thirteenth Master, please have mercy"
These "soft and weak" words melted Zhu Jinghong's heart, making him wish he could feel pity immediately.
Of course, he did exactly that, and the next moment he hugged Ke Qing.
If a good man is upright, if he pretends to be serious at this time, Zhu Jinghong will look down on himself.
Putting her hands around Zhu Jinghong's neck, Keqing's breathing became rapid. She had imagined today's situation countless times, but she never thought it would develop so fast.
When she continued to think wildly, Zhu Jinghong's kiss made her stunned.
"Thirteenth Master"
The delicate voice made Zhu Jinghong feel like he had been injected with chicken blood, and his blood was so intense that he couldn't control himself.
When the spring breeze rippled in the room, Deng An, who was guarding the gatehouse, closed the door consciously.
The eunuchs here at the moment are all Deng An’s confidants, and they can ensure that nothing about what happened today will leak out.
When there were groans and even shouts inside, Baozhu and the two people waiting in the courtyard became extremely anxious, thinking that something had happened inside.
"Eunuch, what's going on inside"
Deng An looked serious and said slowly, "It's a long time to wait, don't ask about what's going on inside"
"Yes"
p>Time passed like this. About half an hour later, Zhu Jinghong covered Ke Qing with the quilt, feeling extremely happy both physically and mentally.
It was the first time that he had been tormented by him for such a long time, but Qing was in pain and tired at the moment, and tears were in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Jinghong.
He put on his clothes, but at this moment, Zhu Jinghong had no one to help him, so he seemed a little awkward.
"Little girl, help Thirteenth Master"
Seeing that Keqing was about to hold him up, Zhu Jinghong quickly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "It's okay for you to lie down, I can do it by myself."
p>
As he started to get dressed, Zhu Jinghong said, "You can live in peace from now on, and I will make time to see you."
"The Thirteenth Master is leaving." Ke Qing's tone was filled with grievances. The tears stayed involuntarily.
After what happened today, her heart is tied to Zhu Jinghong, and she naturally does not want him to leave at this moment.
What's more, for Ke Qing, who was insecure, huddled in Zhu Jinghong's arms made her feel at ease, and love gradually grew in her heart.
It’s really too scumbag to just leave after you’re done, Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
So he sat by the bed again, kissed Ke Qing on the forehead, and then said, "I won't leave to stay with you."
After saying that, Zhu Jinghong hugged Ke Qing in. In their arms, the two of them became tired of each other again.
It was already afternoon, and while Zhu Jinghong and Ke Qing were talking to each other, Baochai was waiting anxiously outside Dong'an Gate.
Although he felt that nothing would be wrong, Baochai still could not wait calmly until the outcome of the matter came out.
She rarely has such a mentality now, which shows how important it is for her to marry Zhu Jinghong as a candidate for the princess..
There were many people coming and going outside Dong'an Gate. When the Xue family and his entourage came closer, Baochai discovered them.
The Xue family's sedan chair fell down, and Aunt Xue walked in the direction of Baochai with the support of Ying'er and Wen Xing.
After the mother and daughter met, they went to a corner together because it was not easy to talk in a crowded place.
"Mom, how are you?" Baochai asked hopefully.
Aunt Xue sighed, looking like she was hesitating to speak.
But for the sake of her daughter's future, she still said clearly, "Baochai, I think you should not choose this princess."
"The Jia family is unwilling to help," Baochai asked quickly. , I didn’t take my mother’s words to heart at all.
Aunt Xue was about to explain, but Ying'er couldn't help it anymore and said angrily, "Girl, not only are the Jia family unwilling to help, they also ridiculed the girl and said that the girl is climbing a high tree."
< p>"Mr. Jia, why is this happening?" Baochai couldn't believe it.From the beginning, she asked her mother to go to Jia Mu instead of her stupid aunt.
So at this time, she thought it was Jia Mu who was like this, so she couldn't believe it.
"It's not Jia"
"Ying'er, shut up" Aunt Xue turned around and scolded.
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Xue turned back to look at her daughter, only to see that Baochai's face was extremely ugly.
Although Ying'er didn't say anything else, she knew that her mother didn't listen to her warning and still went to find her aunt.
"Baochai, your aunt"
"Mom, you don't need to say more, I understand everything"
Unlike what Aunt Xue thought, at this moment Baochai didn't have any hatred in her heart. She was more anxious about how to get the queen's permission to run.
"Mom, please go back first. I have something to do with the princess." Baochai said goodbye directly.
"Bao girl, you"
"My daughter is rude and took the first step"
Obviously, Baochai also harbored feelings for her mother who did not listen to her advice. Feeling resentful, he turned around and left after saying this.
Aunt Xue felt uncomfortable, sighed and turned away.
But their conversation just now was watched by people from Prince Rui's Mansion. When they learned that Baochai had entered the Donghua Gate, Chen Zhi had someone carry the chariot to follow them.
Prince Rui and his wife discussed today’s matter in detail, so they timed their meeting with Baochai very accurately.
They have to wait until Baochai knows the reason and hates the Jia family before they take action.
This also means that even if Ying'er hadn't revealed it just now, King Rui and his wife would have thought of other ways to let Baochai know what happened to the Jia family today.
This is called the ultimate plan. Thinking of these things, Chen Zhi had a smile on her face. It was her greatest pleasure to cause trouble for the prince's family.
After Baochai entered Dong'an Gate, Chen Zhi happened to meet her.
"Baochai" Chen Zhi called very affectionately.
Hearing someone shouting from behind, Baochai turned around and saw that it wasPrincess Rui is behind.
"See the princess"
"Without courtesy"
Signing the eunuchs to get off the sedan, Chen Zhi walked out of the sedan with the support of the maid, and then came to Baochai before.
"I see you are worried about what happened just now." Chen Zhi smiled warmly, looking like a close sister.
"It's okay if you don't have me"
Taking Baochai's hand, Chen Zhi smiled and said, "You girl is so tough-talking. I didn't like the conversation you had with your mother just now." "I heard it"
When Princess Rui heard the conversation, Baochai felt particularly embarrassed, so even she couldn't help but lower her head, feeling even more resentful towards her own aunt.
Seeing her look like this, Chen Zhi's tone became softer and said, "You don't have to worry about this, it's just about running for election. Since the Jia family is inconvenienced, I'll help you tell your mother." It's the same."
At this moment, Chen Zhi smiled heart-warmingly. In Baochai's eyes, he was like a living Bodhisattva crossing the sea of suffering, with almost all his body covered with holy light.
Chen Zhi also saw the look in Baochai's eyes, which strengthened her intention to push Baochai to the top.
One is to ruin Zhu Jinghong's reputation, the other is to make Princess Baochai grateful to Prince Rui's palace, and the third is to alienate Zhu Jinghong and the prince. How can we not do it?
In fact, Baochai is also a very smart person. Chen Zhi happened to show up to help, and she was keenly aware that something was going on.
As long as she thought about it roughly, she could guess what Chen Zhi was thinking. At this moment, she showed tears of gratitude, but in fact it was just to take advantage of him.
As long as Chen Zhi can really help her, Baochai can pretend not to see it no matter what evil intentions he hides.
"Your Majesty, my maid"
Baochai was so excited at this moment that he even squeezed out two tears, which prompted Chen Zhi to take a step further and take out a handkerchief to wipe it for her personally. Go.
"You girl, you are really sincere to your thirteenth brother. How can such friendship be wasted?"
Patting Baochai's jade hand, Chen Zhi said slowly, "Let's go." Come with me to Kunning Palace, and I will tell my mother in person to ask her to agree to your candidacy."
Chen Zhi was so moved by such a fraternity, and secretly said that her acting skills today were extraordinary. .
"I am the queen"
"No need to say more, come with me"
Chen Zhi pulled Baochai onto the sedan and then ordered to go to Donghua Go to the door.
Under Chen Zhi's arrangement, the fact that they were riding in the same sedan will inevitably reach Yuan Chun's ears and play a role in tearing the relationship between the cousins.
When the sedan arrived at Donghua Gate, the palace belonged to the palace further inside. Even Princess Chen Zhi had to get off the sedan, so she took Baochai into the palace with her.
Along the way, Chen Zhi kept comforting Baochai, and at the same time praised her as the most beautiful daughter in the world, and she would definitely be chosen as the princess this time.
"Mother, you also know my family background."
Before Baochai finished speaking, Chen Zhi immediately said, "Of course I know,My father is just a civil servant, so I was also selected as a princess.”
“My royal family in the Ming Dynasty does not pay attention to family status when selecting concubines, so you can relax”
Bao Chai is still in a low mood, "But my father died young, I am an unlucky person, and it is difficult for me to get into the eyes of the royal family."
Chen Zhi agrees with this point. If he can choose the princess in this way, Zhu Jinghong has to follow Of course Chen Zhi was happy to see this scene when the emperor insisted.
Chen Zhi's expression became more and more kind, and she said calmly, "Don't think too much. Who can say what will happen in the future, as long as the Queen agrees." If you are running for election, who dares to say that you are not qualified to enter the Zhu family?"
"I'm afraid the empress won't agree," Baochai said tentatively.
Chen Zhi's face was exposed. Smiling, he said calmly, "Don't worry about me, don't worry."
"Yes" Baochai still looks timid.
No matter how smart you are, you can't. It's just a little girl's movie, and now I can't handle it easily. Thinking of this, Chen Zhi's smile became even brighter.
The two of them walked all the way to the palace, and entered Kunning Gate ten minutes later. They stopped outside the main hall.
"You wait here, I will go in first to say hello to the Queen Mother. No matter how difficult your problem is, I will help you."
Hearing Chen Zhili's words. Guaranteed, Baochai's eyes will be full of tears "Thank you, empress". Please remember to save it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft is free to find books and add books. You can join the qq group 952868558
