Chapter 417 It turns out that there is one missing concubine
Faced with Zhu Yunsheng’s doubts, Baochai calmly replied, “The prince said that he is used to wearing common clothes, and he doesn’t want to change for the time being. If he is like this, how can I be free? "Replace"
Daiyu came behind Baochai, looked at the princess and said, "Princess, don't you know, this is what the husband sings and the wife follows."
Unexpectedly, she was a little slower this time , was directly grabbed by Baochai, and the sound of the two fighting could be heard in the house, and soon Daiyu begged Baochai for mercy.
Putting her arms around Daiyu's slender waist, Baochai said, "You girl, you are getting more and more unruly, how can I spare you?"
"Princess, save me, sister Yun, save me."
Zhu Yunsheng turned around and sat down, and then said, "She is my sister-in-law. How dare I do something to my sister-in-law? You'd better ask for your own blessings."
Xiang Yun took two steps back, and then Said, "The princess doesn't dare to help, how can I dare to fight against the princess? Sister Lin, please forgive me."
While shouting and laughing, Daiyu couldn't help complaining, "It's a waste of time for me to take advantage of you." As sisters, no one can be relied upon when something happens."
Pinching her waist and hands to restrain Daiyu who was moving around, Baochai looked around and said, "Look at how dare she talk at this time. , do you think we should deal with her?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Who should be dealt with?"
All the eunuchs and maids inside and outside saluted, while Zhu Jinghong Baochai entered the house directly, and then Baochai let Daiyu go, and the latter immediately hid behind Zhu Yunsheng.
"The prince is back"
Baochai took the initiative to greet him and asked the maid to clean up his husband. At this moment, Zhu Jinghong still had snowflakes on his body.
"Why is it so lively today?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.
"Brother Thirteen, you are back, I am here to bring you good news"
"Oh, what good news can there be that is worthy of Third Sister's personal trip"
p>
"I will give you a banquet on Laba Festival the day after tomorrow, and my mother ordered you and your sister-in-law to go too. Isn't this good news?"
"Let's just forget it," Zhu Jinghong replied.
Zhu Yunsheng looked around with a mysterious look, "There is good news."
"Just tell me quickly." Baochai stepped forward.
"I worked hard to get this, so I can't tell you in vain." Zhu Yunsheng looked businesslike.
After approaching her, Baochai held her shoulders and said dotingly, "Your Thirteenth Brother will never let you suffer."
"Thirteenth Brother, you "What are you talking about?"
"Your sister-in-law has already said it, what else can I say?" Zhu Jinghong said angrily.
At this time, Zhu Yunsheng smiled and signaled the maids in the room to leave. Then she whispered, "After the Laba Festival this time, Brother Thirteen, you will leave here."
"How do you know?" Zhu Jinghong was curious, although he was not surprised by the result.
"Shangyi Bureau has been preparing for canonization matters in the past few days. Princess Xiang's golden book was sealed at Shangbao Prison last night. My sister-in-law is about to be canonized.I am now a princess."
"Obviously, dad has calmed down, so how can he let you stay here?" Zhu Yunsheng said proudly, looking like a senior counselor.
Hearing this, the person who felt the deepest emotion was Baochai. She had been looking forward to the princess’s golden book and seal for a long time. With these things, she would be a true princess.
“So that’s it. This is indeed good news," Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile.
"Congratulations to Sister Bao, congratulations to the Princess." Xiangyun came to Baochai and saluted.
Before Baochai could speak, , but Zhu Jinghong had already said, "Girl Yun, why don't you say hello to me?"
Unexpectedly, Xiangyun made a face for him, then flashed to Baochai's side, looking frightened and said, "Baochai Sister, save me. The Thirteenth Master wants to punish me."
Baochai rolled her eyes at Zhu Jinghong and said, "Look at how scared Yun Yatou is."
"Why did I ever want to punish her?" "Zhu Jinghong complained.
Unexpectedly, Daiyu said, "If there is no sister Bao to protect me, I'm afraid it's not necessarily true."
Seeing these people arranging their own brother, Zhu Yun Sheng immediately said, "You all should say less. We finally got the good news, so why bother making Brother Thirteen uncomfortable at this time?"
"Sheng'er still loves and protects my brother."
< p>However, as soon as Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, Zhu Yunsheng came behind him and beat his shoulders, and at the same time said, "Brother Thirteen, I have helped you so much, what are you going to do?""Third sister, you I know that now I have lost face with my father, and I can't do anything to help you." Zhu Jinghong had a helpless expression.
"Humph, I knew you were unreliable." Zhu Yunsheng turned around and left. Arrive at Baochai's side.
"Sister-in-law"
Zhu Yunsheng entangled Baochai, leaving the latter helpless.
At this moment, outside the house. A voice came, "Brother Thirteen, who came here today and brought something delicious and fun?"
The next moment, Zhu Jingchun and his wife entered the room, allowing Zhu Yunsheng to find a new breakthrough. .
"Brother Fourteen, you are here just in time. Let's go out for a walk. You can bring the hoe with you."
"But Third Sister, we are going to have lunch soon." Zhu Jinghao reminded.
They came here to eat, not to play with the little girl.
"What will happen if the two brothers have dinner later?" Zhu Yunsheng said with a straight face. Said.
"Of course it's a dream." Zhu Jingchun immediately changed his mind.
Hearing this, Zhu Yunsheng rolled his eyes at Zhu Jinghong, as if he said he had other brothers.
"Let's go"
Zhu Yunsheng went out, and Zhu Jingchun and the others had no choice but to follow them. Unfortunately, it snowed heavily outside after a few breaths.
" How come you go out in such a cold weather and invite Sheng'er back? If you really want to do something good, won't you make your father, the emperor and the empress angry again?"
Except Zhu Jinghong, no one at the scene could guarantee that Zhu Yun would be brought back. Princess Sheng came back.
“Go quickly."
Under Baochai's urging, Zhu Jinghong had to get up and go out, secretly saying that he would not have let this girl go out if he had known this.
"I'll go take a look too." Xiangyun couldn't hold it back. She actually wanted to go out and play in the snow.
Before Baochai could say anything, the girl ran out, leaving Chai and Dai alone in the room.
"This girl also. It doesn't make people worry."
Seeing that there was no one at the moment, Daiyu whispered, "Sister Bao, I also have news."
"What news is it?" Baochai turned around and sat on the chair.
"Sister Ting will be arriving in Beijing in a few days"
"Oh" Baochai responded, looking very calm.
"As far as I know, Sister Ting's mother has come to Beijing several times for six months to have an audience."
"Yes"
Seeing Baochai still unmoved, Daiyu was stunned for a moment They were all anxious, so they approached her and said again, "Sister Bao, do you know that Sister Ting is the Queen's niece?"
Picking up the tea cup, Baochai took a sip and then replied slowly, "Of course I know"
p>
"You are worried about you, but you are not worried at all and ignore you"
As Daiyu stood up and was about to leave, Baochai stretched out his hand to hold her, and then smiled Then he said, "I understand what you mean, but blessings are not disasters. If disasters cannot be avoided, what can I do? I can only take one step at a time."
Although he said this, Baochai was really not worried. , since the status has been decided, there is absolutely no possibility of changing it casually.
What's more, she has the approval of the emperor and the empress. As long as she doesn't make mistakes, she will not be squeezed out and worry about Yang Jingting's arrival. It's really unnecessary.
Seeing that Daiyu was still worried, Baochai stood up and held her shoulders, smiling and said, "Girl Lin, I also have news to tell you."
"What? "News" Daiyu turned around and asked.
"Now Prince Xiang's Mansion is still short of a concubine"
Hearing this, Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what was going on. .
In shame and anger, Daiyu ignored the rules and immediately started playing with Baochai.
Although their identities have changed, they are still good sisters. .
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the 11th year of Zhengtong, this was the day before the Laba Festival.
Zhu Jinghong received an oral instruction from the emperor early in the morning, asking him and the others to attend the family meeting the next day. Banquet.
The ensuing eunuch took away his common clothes. For this reason, Zhu Jinghong was aggrieved and had a fight with the eunuch.
When he was angry, his uncle Xue Pan finally returned to the capital after two months of traveling.
Normally, one month is enough to travel from Yingtian to the capital. This guy has been out of service for two months, which shows that he came here just for fun.
Although it was just for fun, this guy also had a legitimate reason, because he brought another one with him this time.
Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtian, sent a group of people before he left, saying they were looking for Zhu Jinghong.Sailor, let him be brought to the capital together.
Originally, there were many people in the Xue family. Xue Pan himself also found some foreign craftsmen. With the addition of these people handed over by Jia Yucun, the number of his team on the road exceeded 300.
With such a large number of people, it is very complicated to find where to live, which naturally slows down the journey.
Of course, this is what Xue Pan did deliberately, because there was so much fun along the way, so how could he not find ways to stay.
After arriving at the Xue family's mansion in Beijing, the Xue family mother and son can move in directly.
Just when Xue Pan wanted to have fun, Aunt Xue ordered her to do some work.
"Mom, my sister and the others are not at the palace. If I go there and I can't see anyone, why bother to go there?"
"I have to go even if I can't see anyone. Just ask about the situation." Okay, besides, all the people you brought should be handed over to the palace."
"But"
Seeing that Xue Pan wanted to talk more, Aunt Xue immediately scolded her. "Are you kid going to be disobedient again?"
"Son, let's go now"
After saying that, Xue Pan turned around and left. Soon he took his entourage to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
As for Prince Xiang’s Mansion, everyone in the Prince’s Mansion knew that Zhu Jinghong was coming back, so they were busy cleaning and replacing appliances to highlight the good news of “renewing everything”.
Some lanterns and furnishings were moved out, which was equivalent to waste products and would be resold by the eunuchs of the palace. Chang Shi Wang Pei'an frowned.
These things can be replaced with money from the palace's private treasury, and Wang Pei'an can't interfere too much.
"Some tables and chairs are almost brand new, so it would be too extravagant and wasteful to throw them away"
The cost of the items that Prince Xiang's Mansion does not want starts at ten or twenty taels of silver, which is equivalent to A year's harvest for a well-off family.
How can Wang Pei'an not feel distressed when thinking about this? After all, the money in the palace's private treasury also comes from taxes paid by the people.
"When His Highness comes back, I will have to give him some advice."
After saying this in a low voice, Wang Pei'an planned to go back to the Chief Secretary's office directly out of sight.
Zhu Jinghong has been away for three months, during which he missed a lot of homework, so he readjusted his teaching plan.
Since he became an official, Wang Pei'an has always adhered to the teachings of the saints and strived for perfection in his official duties without any guilt. He took everything very seriously.
However, he had just sat down and had not written down a few pages when he heard a whirring sound coming from outside.
So he got up and looked outside. When he left the east chamber, he saw a dozen eunuchs moving seats out of the main hall of Chang Shisi.
"What are you doing?" Wang Peian asked coldly.
"Replying to your lord, we were ordered to move things. These items are too old. The boss asked us to replace them with new ones."
Wang Pei'an became angry when he heard this. The furnishings here are It's also nearly new and needs to be replaced now.
Other places he can only tolerate it, but in Changshi Division he has to take care of it.
"Everyone go out, there is no need to replace the items here," Wang Peian said solemnly.
As the saying goes, integrity breeds power, and his angry glare really scared these little eunuchs.
"Sir, you are embarrassing the slaves."
"Go back and tell Deng An that I do not allow the replacement. If he feels that I have done something wrong, he can report it to His Highness. My condition"
He lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves. Wang Pei'an continued, "Of course he can also order you to take me down."
To take down Wang Pei'an, a long history, Deng An has not yet Such a fat and courageous person, not to mention that this matter has little to do with him.
As the head of the three great eunuchs in the palace, there are four eunuchs in charge of Deng An, who are responsible for several aspects of the palace.
For example, the plan to change the furnishings this time was made by the eunuch Chen Chong, which involved the use of nearly 10,000 taels of silver.
Logically speaking, such a large amount of expenditure must be approved by the master of the palace, or at least by the princess herself.
But now these two are not here, and it is the right thing to welcome Zhu Jinghong and his wife, so the bank under Zhang Pingan's jurisdiction directly allocated the money.
Everything has been bought, and the rebates that should be taken have been swallowed. Who is willing to spit it out?
So when he learned that Wang Pei'an was causing trouble, Chen Chong's whole face turned black and he immediately went to report to Deng An.
However, at this time, Deng An was welcoming Xue Pan into the mansion, and he would not neglect the princess's brother.
"Uncle Xue, how long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"
Following Deng An, Xue Pan replied, "I don't know yet. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to leave. Maybe I'll stay here forever." Go down."
Facing Deng An, Xue Pan didn't show off, and seemed humble and polite at this time.
Led by Deng An, the two came to the inner government office on the east side of the palace. The east wing was Deng An's duty room.
After the two sat down, a young eunuch served tea. Xue Pan took a sip to warm himself up and said, "Eunuch, this time I came to the capital and brought some barbarian craftsmen that the prince wanted. and sailors, but I don’t know how to arrange it."
"Place it. This prince is not here now, and I can’t deal with it casually. Why don’t I stay with you temporarily first?" Deng An said slowly.
"The prince will return to the house in the next two days, so you can come back to ask for instructions then."
Although the person was not handed over today, I learned that my sister will be returning to the house in the next two days. After returning home, Xue Pan felt that the trip was well worth it.
After being polite to Deng An for a while, Xue Pan said goodbye and left.
Deng An sent Xue Pan away and was about to go back to the government office to take a nap when Chen Chong found him again.
After explaining the situation, Chen Chong said, "Father, please see how to deal with this matter."
"How can we deal with it? If he says not to change it, he will not change it." Deng An He said angrily.
As the chief historian of the palace, Wang Pei'an can be regarded as half of Zhu Jinghong.Sir, how could Deng An take the initiative to offend?
"But"
Before Chen Chong could speak, he heard Deng An say, "Don't go too far. It's not good to be too extravagant and wasteful. The prince may not be happy if he knows." "
After being reminded by Deng An, Chen Chong became alert and immediately replied, "I understand."
Looking at Chen Chong, Deng An warned again, "But there should be arrangements." You can't be shabby either, you have to be careful yourself."
"Yes"
"Go down"
Deng An educates his subordinates here, and looks back at the other end. Xue Pan, who had returned to the mansion, after informing his mother about the situation, left the mansion and went to Rongguo Mansion.
On the surface, he went to visit his aunt and uncle, but actually he went to see Jia Lian and Jia Rong. Without these friends to play with, he always felt that it was meaningless.
When he arrived at Jia's house, he found out that his uncle Jia Zheng had not returned from the Yamen. Jia Lian and Jia Rong happened to be on duty today, so his trip was in vain.
Of course, now his identity is different after all. Jia She at home met Xue Pan specifically, but the two of them had nothing in common, so Xue Pan felt bored and left after a while.
"Why don't you go see Brother Bao?" Outside Rongxi Hall, Xue Pan was determined to be evil.
So he walked across the courtyard and soon arrived outside Baoyu's courtyard. This guy has been banned for saying something wrong until now.
It’s just that after so much time, the restraint on Baoyu has been loosened. Although he is still not allowed to go out at will, he is allowed to go in to see him.
