"See His Royal Highness King Yue, His Royal Highness is blessed."

Juan'er also held a pile of clothes, handed them to Yin'er to accept, and then knelt on the ground to salute. In terms of appearance, she is not as beautiful as a flower, but she is not elegant, and her eyes are slowly circulating, which seems to be very connotative.

"Hurry up, please. You are the close attendant of the Jingci Immortal Master, and this king does not dare to accept your great gift. ”

The palace pays attention to the servants and the lord, and the personal maids around the elders do not have to give big gifts to the younger royal relatives. Only before Zhu Qiming went to Qingning Palace on an errand did not dare to accept her big gift, and at this moment Juan'er's identity was clearly there, so she made a big gift down, which made Zhu Qiming feel terrified.

After Juan'er got up, she bowed slightly, "Your Highness doesn't have to resign, Immortal Master Jingci has repeatedly told the slave maid, and the slave and maid dare not lose their manners." Oh, the weather turned cold, and the Jingci Immortal Master personally sewed a few pieces of bed clothes for His Highness, and ordered the slave maid to make a special trip to His Highness. ”

Zhu Qiming was shocked when he heard this, and immediately turned around and knelt down in the direction of leaving the hospital, "Thank you Jingci Immortal Master for giving me clothes!" ”

Juan'er glanced at Xining, performed a blessing ceremony, and seemed to be vigilant in her eyes, and then stepped forward to help Zhu Qiming, "Your Highness, Jingci Immortal Master has words first, at the beginning, Jingci Immortal Master hurriedly scolded His Highness a few words, and afterwards felt that he had not yet relieved his anger, and now although he sewed clothes for His Highness, the old accounts are still in his heart, and when he finds a good day, Jingci Immortal Master will still scold His Highness again." ”

Over there, Xining shook his head with a smile, with a suspicious look, "It's another gift, it's insulting, and scolding people has to pick a good day, how can this make people scratch their heads?" ”

Mama Cui at the door of the main hall snorted lightly, "His Royal Highness King Yue's bedding still has to worry about the elders in the palace, in the final analysis, it's not because there is too much waste in the Forbidden City!" ”

The corners of Xining's mouth twitched slightly, and the anger in her eyes flashed away, replaced by a stiff smile. As the No. 2 noble celebrity next to the Son of Heaven, Xining doesn't take the Jiuqing of the court in his eyes, but he is quite jealous of Mama Cui. Mama Cui is a confidant old man next to the Queen Mother, and she is not a character that Xining dares to offend easily.

At this moment, Zhu Qiming keenly captured the changing expression on Xining's face, and read from it the empty eyes of the slave of the Son of Heaven and the real fear in his heart. However, at that moment, Xining's expression was extremely rich, far more than arrogance and jealousy, there seemed to be a series of question marks hanging on him, and it took someone to decipher them one by one.

That day, Wang Qing's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping suddenly appeared in his mind, and his thoughts quietly flew into a vague old memory, but he only stayed there for a short moment, and was drawn by Juan'er's concerned gaze and returned to reality.

"Has the ban been lifted over the hospital?" Zhu Qiming said indifferently.

Juan'er shook her head, "One of the nieces of Jingci Immortal Master participated in the draft, so the emperor's quasi-slave maid occasionally walked out of the hospital in order to take care of Jingci Immortal Master's niece in a timely manner. ”

Jingci Immortal's niece participating in the draft? Thinking about the Forbidden City, the plot of the palace fight of the previous generation has quietly continued to the next generation in an unknown and secret way, and all forces are fighting in secret, and the victory or defeat has its own certainty, but with the current situation of Jingci Immortal Master, even if her niece has a peerless appearance and an incomparably gentle atmosphere, she is destined to lose at the starting line!

After groaning, I suddenly heard a shrill male voice at the gate of the courtyard: "The head of the King of Yu's Mansion is serving Jiang Yihang, asking to see His Royal Highness King Yue." ”

Hey, what's a special day today? Why did everyone rush together to join in the fun? Zhu Qiming glanced at Yin'er and Quqing indifferently, and saw that they were raising their necks and looking at Xining proudly, obviously demonstrating: Open your eyes and take a good look! Who said that the owner of the other courtyard would only worry about the emperor and the queen mother? No, the people who are vying to show favor to the king of Yue are all lining up! Leaving the Imperial Prison, life in the other courtyard is still good!

Xining looked more and more embarrassed, but she still stood there stubbornly, unwilling to leave, as if she wanted to take the opportunity to see the excitement.

Zhu Qiming made a difficulty. At a sensitive moment, King Yu sent someone to the other courtyard, Zhu Qiming was not worried that this matter was related to Yanluo's escape from the sea of bitterness and King Yu's thanks afterwards, but he was afraid that it was related to the draft in the palace! The owner of Fu'an Palace was strictly grounded, perhaps, because she did not have nieces inside and outside to participate in the draft, so she could only use her mind on other suitable show girls, and ordered King Yu to act secretly in order to cultivate a spokesperson in the future, and King Yu did not want to wade into this troubled water, so he would inevitably send someone to send a message to him, the King of Yue, and ask him to deal with this matter.

At this time, Zhu Qiming must not meet with the people of the King of Yu's Mansion!

Over there, Mama Cui seemed to have guessed Zhu Qiming's thoughts, and said loudly outside the courtyard gate: "Why do you ask to see His Royal Highness King Yue?" ”

"King Yu ordered the little slave to send Taihu Lake whitebait, Songjiang perch, Yellow River carp, and Yangtze River anchovy to His Royal Highness King Yue. Oh, please rest assured, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has already asked for a decree. ”

Taihu Lake whitebait, Songjiang perch, Yellow River carp, Yangtze River anchovy are the four famous fish of the Ming Dynasty, the production season is different, but the king of the service is in the late autumn to get the four famous fish together, must have spent a lot of effort! However, such extravagance does not damage the virtuous name of the king at all, these days, whoever is full of beautiful women and extravagant all day long is the virtuous king!

The four famous fish appeared together, this is an unheard of miracle in the palace, even a nobleman like Xining, when he opened a royal banquet for the emperor, I am afraid that he will not be able to prepare all the four famous fish! As a result, Xining seemed to sense that the longer he stayed in the courtyard, the more embarrassed he would become, and immediately took his leave and left in a huff.

Juan'er also bowed down and said goodbye.

"There are no cooks in the courtyard, you can send them to Qingning Palace."

Zhu Qiming's command passed Xining's figure and floated outside the courtyard gate.

After a long time, a helpless voice sounded outside the courtyard gate: "Yes." ”

The courtyard returned to its former calm, and Yin'er and Qu Qing were talking jokes softly, and they seemed to be in a good mood. Suddenly, Yin'er sighed, "Your Highness, except for the Yellow River carp, the other three slaves and maids have never heard of the fish name reported by the person just now, alas, it's a pity! If you accept it, the slave can also take the opportunity to open her eyes. ”

Mama Cui whispered, "What do you know! Your Highness has his own measure in doing things, how can you chew the root of your tongue! Then he turned to look at Zhu Qiming with a smile, "Your Highness, people's hearts are flesh and blood, Your Highness has done good deeds and fallen into good karma, which will have many benefits for Your Highness in the future." ”

Mama Cui is right! I didn't have a utilitarian heart when I wanted to save people, but I still formed a good fate, and now the kind returns from all parties are coming one after another, bringing a little warmth to his lonely career in the hospital. However, after thinking about it, I felt that this warmth was not what I was looking forward to the most.

Unconsciously turned his mind to Lu Xiyu, only to feel that in the days without Lu Xiyu, the courtyard was lifeless, and suddenly, the sadness pierced his heart, which made him gloomy.

Looking at the last trace of red in the sky, I want to return to the study and let my soul float into the smoke and clouds of history, so that I can be insensitive to reality without having nowhere to store.

"It's strange, why haven't you seen the person delivering food from Xianxi Palace show up yet?"

Mama Cui's muttering awakened Zhu Qiming's senses, he thought about his empty stomach, and he was full of hunger!

At this time, Jin Ying stepped into the courtyard at dusk, and went straight to the corridor to bow his hand, "His Royal Highness King Yue, the emperor has sent His Royal Highness to Yongsu Hall to serve the banquet, and this matter has been informed to Xianxi Palace in advance." ”

Yongsu Palace? After half a year of absence, now in Zhu Qiming's impression, Yongsu Hall has become a very strange place. He turned his head to look at Kim Young, casting an inquiring look.

"Oh, as far as the Sprinkle family knows, the Warat people are crossing the border to loot again, and the emperor may want to talk to His Highness."

I see! First, he sent Xining to ask about trivial matters such as clothes, and then sent Jin Ying to pass the meal, it turned out that it was because of the restlessness in the north, and the emperor remembered him in the other courtyard, the king of Yue who only knew how to play and have fun!

Zhu Qiming instructed Mama Cui and them to quickly prepare food to fill the belly of the three of them, and he himself rushed to Yongsu Hall with Jin Ying alone.

Walking on the palace road shrouded in twilight, Zhu Qiming wantonly browsed the long-lost scenery around him, and faintly felt that once he walked out of the cold cage of the other courtyard, he was greeted by an incomparably vast sky!

It turns out that walking out of the courtyard is really a relief! He was shocked by his state of mind at the moment, and suddenly realized how precious freedom is! Unfortunately, this relief won't last long, it's just a dinner!

After entering the Yongsu Palace, the emperor did not call him the third brother, but still invited him to sit with a smile.

The emperor's dining table is placed on the royal platform, and the palace is placed on another dining table, needless to say, the dining table in the palace is reserved for him, the king of Yue.

I think it was here at the beginning, the emperor pulled his sleeve into the table, and personally took the lamp for him, and the Son of Heaven sat at the same table with a royal family who was still a prince, and that situation was unprecedented! At that time, the care of the Son of Heaven was vivid, and many promises were still in the ears, but only less than two years later, the intimate behavior of the past could no longer be reproduced, and now only about dignity and humility, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the Prince is just a subordinate!

Zhu Qiming tried his best to maintain an elegant posture, and sat upright after entering the table.

The female officials, chamberlains, and palace maids in the hall lined up and withdrew, and the bright lights reflected the two dining tables, as well as the two cousins who were respectful and humble on the side of the dining table.

"The disaster in the south has passed, so it is not appropriate to be extravagant in the palace, and today's dinner only adds two more dishes than in the past, even if I make an exception for you."

The emperor raised the knight with one hand and made a gesture at Zhu Qiming, and Zhu Qiming immediately raised the knight with both hands in response.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet!"

The emperor drank it all, how could Zhu Qiming dare to lag behind? Fortunately, he has been tested by alcohol, and it is not difficult to drink a good amount of wine.

The emperor's face was slightly heavy, and a puzzle flashed in his eyes, "The Warat people were still losing their sincerity to Daming half a year ago, but now they are turning their faces faster than turning books!" Datong, Xuanfu, Miyun, and Liaodong all have Tartar thieves crossing the border to plunder, which is really in response to the words of the ancients: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different! ”

The emperor didn't make a foreshadowing by asking for warmth, but went straight to the topic early, which made Zhu Qiming realize that don't look at the emperor with a confident shelf, all this is just an appearance.

The emperor must have no bottom in his heart!
