Chapter 523: The Princess’s Confidant
After talking with Liu Xiang, Zhu Jinghong rewarded him with some rewards, including a house in Beijing.
Although the rewards are extremely generous, for Liu Xiang, the most valuable thing is Zhu Jinghong’s pie.
Zhu Jinghong told him to work hard and find him an official position when he was mature.
In this era, official status is the most valuable thing. Only with it can you keep everything you own.
With longing for a better future, Liu Xiang walked out of Zhu Jinghong's living room. When he went to the outer courtyard, he found that Xue Pan was no longer there, but the bench remained in place.
"You will not survive if you do your own evil," Liu Xiang sighed.
After he left, Zhu Jinghong came to a side courtyard, where Xue Pan was howling at the moment.
At this time, the doctor was applying medicine, while Baochai was sitting in the outer room, grooming the puppy in his arms.
"The prince has arrived"
Xue Pan, who was lying on the bed, endured the severe pain and tried to get up to salute, but in the end he couldn't get up.
A few minutes later, Baochai found Zhu Jinghong, who was sitting in the east wing of the living room of the inner house, with a map on the desk in front of him.
So Zhu Jinghong didn't stay long, got up and walked out.
"Yeah"
After Baochai finished speaking, he sighed and left, and then walked out of the house.
"If brother doesn't respect himself and love himself, I'm afraid he won't be far from Jiuquan"
However, Xue Pan only understood the warning, and tightened the strings in his heart.
Putting his hand on Zhu Jinghong's shoulder, Baochai kneaded it gently and said at the same time, "It's all my fault for causing trouble to you. I didn't give birth to a good family. It's okay to lose my father at a young age and make people gossip." That's all, now I have my brother who can't help him."
Soon the doctor put on the medicine and left, and then Baochai entered the bedroom accompanied by the maid.
After Baochai greeted him, Zhu Jinghong frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"See the prince"
Xue Pan's face was earth-colored, and there was no luck in his heart. .
"In this case, then you have to support her so that she can restrain her brother."
These three words seemed to have magic power, and Xue Pan's howling stopped instantly, letting her Baochai, who was sitting in the room, couldn't help but smile, and then she stood up and went out to greet him.
If Xue Pan keeps causing trouble, there will always be a time when he can't stop it. Baochai knows that Zhu Jinghong's words are good intentions.
"I understand." Xue Pan did not dare to hesitate at all.
At this time, Xue Pan was lying down comfortably. When he saw his sister coming, he got up, and when he pulled the injured area, he grimaced in pain.
"Don't think that receiving twenty lashes means you have suffered a lot. If you dare to do anything wrong next time, watch me beat you to death myself, you bastard."
"Here The prince has brought so much trouble, and I feel really uncomfortable."
"The daughter-in-law you chose for your brother is truly a virtuous one."People"
Looking at Xue Pan who was still trying to struggle on the bed, Zhu Jinghong said casually, "Don't worry about it."
"The farewell banquet, you guys are together every day, so we need to have a special banquet." "Goodbye" Zhu Jinghong only found it funny.
"I understand"
Pulling Baochai to his side, Zhu Jinghong held her in his arms. At this time, the two of them were four Their eyes were level, only a palm apart.
Xue Pan calmed down after hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, but his heart was still tense.
" The prince wants to kill someone, and no one in this world can stop him except your majesty, and I can’t stop him either.”
Zhu Jinghong didn’t say anything more, but walked straight into the room. At this time, the doctor who applied medicine and The servants all turned around and saluted.
"Yes"
Baochai also heard what she said just now, which made her feel extremely complicated, even if she knew that this was Zhu Jinghong's "mercy". .
"Brother must have heard what I just said."
After the two were silent for a while, Baochai said, "By the way, Sheng'er will return to the palace in a few days. He said he wanted to hold a banquet in the back garden as a farewell banquet."
"Yeah"
Zhu Jinghong said indifferently, not to mention Xue Pan who was the first to bear the brunt, and the surrounding bystanders, too. Everyone was frightened.
After he responded, everyone returned to their seats, and Zhu Jinghong found a chair and sat down.
"After all, he is my brother. , I am not a hard-hearted person, so I have to come over and have a look."
"Having said that, since Sheng'er wants to play, you, the elder brother, can't restrain her"
" If you don't say this, what else can you say?" Baochai said helplessly.
Reaching out his hand to hold Baochai's hand, Zhu Jinghong turned around and said, "Okay, what are you talking about?"
"Let's You cooperated with Liu Xiang to work well, what have you done? If it weren't for your surname Xue, you would have to move your head today."
"You can tell him a few more words to let him know that when friendship is exhausted, If he wants to die, no one can save him."
Withdrawing from the left and right, Baochai walked into the wing and came behind Zhu Jinghong.
"What's more, the banquet she held this time was more than just a banquet. How many of us are you going to invite?"
"Who else does she want to invite?" Zhu Jinghong asked in confusion.
"A few girls from the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion"
"Oh "
The ups and downs in Zhu Jinghong's tone made Baochai sense that something was wrong.
"Do you agree or not?"
Looking at Baochai who was smiling, Zhu Jinghong replied calmly, "I can't control her. Since she likes to be lively, why should I be a bad person?"
"Yo yo yo, Your Majesty, that's too polite. You don't care, not that you can't. Who doesn't look up and breathe?" Baochai's smile became even bigger.
Pinching her thigh, Zhu Jinghong said with dissatisfaction, "What on earth do you want to say?"
"I think so. Ask the prince, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about when youOnly then can you give birth to the child for me, so that you will be busy and have no time to find fault with me."
The next day soon came, and Xue Pan, who had rested for a day, was sent back. , everyone in the palace is already preparing for tomorrow’s banquet.
As for the Rongguo Mansion, Sanchun of the Jia family is gathering in Jia Mu’s courtyard at this time. Inviting you, this is incredible." Mrs. Wang was overjoyed.
Ever since Jia Baoyu was kicked out of the house, she has not been so happy for a long time.
This is all due to, After Jia Baoyu was driven away, Tanchun became more and more filial to Mrs. Wang, filling the position vacated by Jia Baoyu.
This is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. This shows that Tanchun. How wise.
"Yes, Tan girl is smart, you have a good daughter." Mother Jia couldn't help but praise her.
But if you look into her words, you can actually hear the meaning. Dissatisfied with Yuan Chun, the latter stayed in the position of Crown Princess, but was hampered by others, which was of little help to the Jia family.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang was not close enough in rank, so she did not recognize Jia Mu. The deep meaning in the words.
As for the others in the room, they were also laughing and unaware. Only Tanchun guessed it.
“Girl Tan, this is the princess. The second time I call you, you have to serve well to make the princess happy, and that will be in your favor."
Although she knew that Tanchun understood the truth, Jia Mu still couldn't help but remind her.
"Granddaughter understands"
Soon it came to the next day, and Jia Rong personally led the servants in the house and sent Tanchun and the others out of the city.
p>This time, because of the princess's command talisman, they walked smoothly and were quickly sent outside the palace.
When they arrived, a female official from the palace came to pick them up, Jia Rong. They went back to where they came from.
Tanchun and the other three were invited to the palace, and arranged to live in their own homes according to Zhu Yunsheng's request, and then they were invited to the back garden.
In fact, there is no courtyard wall in the back garden, and the guards directly block it along the lake, turning it into a "no man's land".
Of course, the guards are far apart, so they won't. Let the girls who are playing see it.
On a balcony by the lake, tables and chairs have been set up, and dozens of eunuchs and maids are busy.
As it approaches noon, In addition to Zhu Jinghong and Baochai, all the other women in the palace are here, including Qiqige and Nuo Min.
Both Nuo Min and Qiqige received the imperial edict half a month ago and were named the queen. Xuan Shi got the official "establishment" of Prince Xiang's Palace.
This also led to the devaluation of Xuan Shi's name in the palace, which made Zhen Qin sad for several days.
Well. Now, the palace still has Yinglian, the only concubine, which makes her feel a little more balanced.
There are also cliques among women, which usually don't show up, that's because the princess is suppressing them. .
But since Baochai did not attend today, the situation is a little different.
Zhen Qin pulled Yinglian to one side, while Keqing and Qiqigenuomin walked to the other side. Neither of them said a word.
Of course, Yinglian didn't really care that much, she was just dragged over by Zhen Qin. She didn't like forming cliques.
"Sister Qin, why are you doing this?" Yinglian couldn't help but say.
"My silly sister, you haven't seen it yet, the three of them are together. If we don't help each other, that will be the fate of Concubine Yang"
"Sister Qin ", don't say this nonsense, sister Ting is recuperating from illness and will come back when she recovers," Yinglian reminded quickly.
Although she is simple-minded, she also knows the pros and cons of this matter and knows not to talk about it casually.
However, Zhen Qin didn’t understand Yinglian’s thoughts, and explained proudly, “You still think she won’t come back if she annoys the princess if she comes back?”
“Why did you come back?” Sister Bu Laiting is still a concubine and the Queen's niece," Yinglian reminded again.
"Silly girl, who wants to argue with you about this? You should worry about yourself first. Are you willing to just be a concubine?"
Here Zhen Qin started to draw big pictures again On the other side of Keqing's side, the three of them talked and laughed much more easily.
Qiqige and Nuomin both said they would teach Keqing how to ride a horse, even though the latter had no interest in it.
As for Zhu Yunsheng and Xiang Yun, who are walking ahead, their equestrian skills have been greatly improved by Qi Qige these days.
"Of the books I have read recently, I feel that they are only about narrative and lyricism, and this is definitely the one"
Listening to Tanchun's detailed account, Zhu Yunsheng didn't really want to hear it. After all, he was here today. Play together instead of discussing knowledge in class.
"Tanchun, I'm just asking casually, but you have said so much. This is not a private school, so don't let reading make people unhappy."
Hearing Zhu Yunsheng say this After saying that, Tanchun immediately changed his words and said, "Princess, in fact, we don't like reading very much, we just do it for leisure and boredom."
"If you use reading for pleasure, you will really have a boring life." Zhu Yunsheng looked pitiful.
As a noblewoman from an ordinary family, although the queen seems to be very strict with Zhu Yunsheng, she is actually very tolerant towards her.
Otherwise, it would not be possible for Zhu Yunsheng to live as happy a life as he is now, if he is not studying as a female worker day and night, and he is also fully occupied with reading and writing.
In other words, by following her, Daiyu and Xiangyun will live a very comfortable life. This is an experience that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.
"But besides reading and writing, what else can I do?"
Having said this, Tanchun smiled and said to everyone around him
"Thanks The princess rescues us, otherwise we would still be trapped in the study."
Tan Chun's words were very appropriate, and the most important thing was that his expression was also on point. He looked like he had escaped the disaster, which made Zhu Yunsheng really feel that he had helped Very busy.
"The fruit wine I made a few days ago is ready. I just want to try it today. Since I saved you, you can thank me by drinking a few more glasses later."
"PrincessIt is an honor for us to taste the wine we brewed by ourselves. This is not a way of repaying a favor. Wouldn’t we owe more?”
Tan Chun is really good at talking, at least now Zhu Yunsheng is very satisfied with it. , and couldn't help but praise her a few more times.
This situation made Tanchun very happy, and he felt that his ability was finally put to use.
For the first time. , she feels that she can transcend her family and strive for a better future for herself.
"Tan Yatou really has a clever mouth. She can tell everything from good to bad."
Looking around, Xiangyun, who was holding Daiyu on his arm, smiled and asked, "Sister Lin is jealous."
"What kind of jealousy am I jealous of?" Daiyu curled her lips and asked, she I know the meaning of Xiangyun's words.
"Princess, you are only talking to Tanchun, your Daiyu is jealous and unhappy" Xiangyun shouted to the front.
Tanchun was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Xiangyun to be so bold and dare to tell such a joke to the princess.
How could she have guessed that Zhu Yunsheng and these two companions were reading. , The relationship is so good in private that jokes are commonplace.
While they were joking, they came to the balcony and everyone sat down according to their status.
Because today. Keqing and the others were there, so there was no clear priority at the scene. There were just a few tables in a circle.
Since it was his first time to participate in such a gathering, Tanchun acted extremely cautiously. She always looked at others before sitting or standing, for fear that she would make a joke.
Daiyu noticed all these behaviors, which reminded her of when she first entered the Rong Dynasty a few years ago. The situation in the palace.
"Sisters, after today's gathering, I will go back to the palace, and it will be difficult to see again."
Zhu Yunsheng began to speak, perfectly showing the girl in the palace. , the miserable and helpless life made Tanchun and the others feel sympathetic.
It turns out that the princess's life is not easy either. She is bound by palace rules and disciplined by female officials, which is much harsher than in an ordinary home.
Of course, these performances by Zhu Yunsheng only led Tanchun and the others into the ditch, while the others were completely indifferent.
As for Daiyu and Xiangyun, They both just find it funny now, secretly knowing that the princess's ability to moan painlessly has become even better.
Why are the palace rules so strict? This princess has violated them so many times, and she has been severely punished a few times< /p>
She also said that her life was miserable, and there were few women in the world who could play as she pleased without restraint
"Princess, although the palace rules are strict, It was determined by the ancestors and was intended to be corrected."
Not only did Tanchun believe it, but he also used his clever brain to put himself in his shoes and enlighten Zhu Yunsheng.
This made Zhu Yunsheng excited. , An Dao Tanchun is a talented person, but he has more things to do than Daiyu Xiangyunhui
"I thought that no one in this world could understand my pain, but I didn't expect that you could understand." Zhu Yunsheng said affectionately
My mother-in-law.Ah, I have become the princess's confidant. Tan Chun was extremely excited.
"How can ordinary people understand the princess's difficulties? It's a pity that she can't always be by her side to help her eliminate her troubles and relieve her worries."
This sentence was brought to Tanchun for the first time. The purpose is just to get a spot as the princess's companion.
Although Zhu Yunsheng will get married in another year, this is enough for Tanchun. Getting into this relationship will be a great help for her to marry in the future.
"It's a pity, but it's a pity it's not you"
Zhu Yunsheng looked at Daiyu Xiangyun aside with a resentful look. The two of them were gathering together to whisper something.
Looking at the other side, Zhen Qin and Yinglian were talking, while Keqing and Qiqige were chatting about the northwest, which made Zhu Yunsheng feel even more lonely inside.
Looking at Tanchun again, she felt that he was worthy of close friendship and that he was a close confidant who understood her.
"Come, let's have a drink for this rare friendship."
