"Brother Yuwang, the queen mother has the grace to take care of me, I will go back to the capital, if I don't go to Xianxi Palace to say hello, it will not be in line with the courtesy." Seeing that Jin Ying's face was embarrassed, Zhu Qiming opened his mouth at the right time.

The autumn breeze blows, the sun is getting darker, and the intersection of heaven and earth in the distance is foggy. The smoke and clouds are combined, and the chill increases suddenly, indicating that an autumn rain is coming.

King Yu looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, nodded slightly, and then grabbed Zhu Qiming, "King Yue, now that the national disaster is at hand, Da Ming must be reborn from the ashes, I hope you will focus on the overall situation!" ”

Reborn from the ashes? Zhu Qiming did not respond to King Yu's words, he moved to Pang Zhe's side and whispered: "Mr. Pang, this king still wants to know, when will Sister Xiyao return to Beijing?" ”

Pang Zhe glanced at King Yu in a daze, and hesitated for a long time, "If His Royal Highness King Yu has no objection, she will be able to enter Beijing around dusk tomorrow." However, His Royal Highness himself still has a hard place to settle in Beijing, how can he take care of Xi Yao's niece? It's better to ask King Yu to find her a safe place to live, so that it will save Your Highness a lot of trouble. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiming secretly gritted his teeth, and when he turned his head to look at King Yu, he had a smile on his face, "Brother King Yun, just rest assured, I know that when the national disaster is at hand, the community should be the priority!" ”

"Well, I'll set up a banquet for you in the evening."

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your kindness."

Bidding farewell to King Yu, Zhu Qiming instructed Tang Ji to lead the guards to the designated camp and stationed, and ordered Ouyang Tong to bring the prince's regular clothes to accompany him.

Over there, the car of the king drove away, and the street suddenly became much wider.

But when I heard the whistling sound, the wind kicked up dust, and a few raindrops fell down. Pedestrians on the street sped up their pace and dispersed in all directions.

Jin Ying approached, "His Royal Highness King Yue, the road is congested, so the carriage stopped at the fork in the road. Your Highness, please. ”

Zhu Qiming glanced at the fork in the road and walked slowly, "Gonggong Jin, I heard that Mao Gui and Wang Qing died, right?" The two of them are not great traitors, why did they lose their lives? ”

Jin Ying was stunned for a moment, her expression was slightly embarrassed, "At that time, public opinion was turbulent, and those young and strong officials were like crazy, if they didn't use some tricks, once the scene got out of control, I was afraid that it would endanger His Royal Highness King Yu." ”

Also, in times of crisis, sacrifice to protect the handsome, such a scene is not uncommon in the world! Zhu Qiming wanted to forget about it, but the figures of the two of them came to mind and lingered. At this moment, thinking about Mao Gui's crow mouth, as well as Wang Qing's slow reaction speed of half a beat, I actually feel that there is no lack of cuteness in the meantime.

"Father-in-law Jin, we might as well go to the noon gate for a walk."

Jin Ying's jaw almost dropped in shock, "Your Highness, you ······ What does this mean? You can be exonerated by beating someone to death over there, but you want to ······ the Sprinkle family."

How much do you want? Zhu Qiming shook his head, put away his distracting thoughts, walked a few steps, came to the carriage, and turned around to beckon Ouyang Tong to come over to join him.

Jin Ying beckoned the attendant to walk to another carriage, and looked back at Zhu Qiming on the way, with a look of inquiry, mixed with a little trepidation.

Zhu Qiming waved his hand, "Go to Qiupuxuan, this king has to change clothes." ”

"Oh, yes!"

After boarding the carriage, the sound of hooves sounded, and the sound of rain covered the hustle and bustle of the market.

Zhu Qiming had no intention of watching the smoke and rain outside the curtain, he leaned on the canopy wall and closed his eyes to recuperate. I don't know how long later, Jin Ying's greeting sounded outside the curtain, and he came back to his senses and found that the carriage had stopped at some point.

Fang lifted the curtain, and he heard the sound of "Peng", and an umbrella opened and covered his head.

"His Royal Highness King Yue."

Zhu Qiming followed the prestige, and saw a famous girl about thirteen years old on the other side of the umbrella, holding another umbrella in her left hand, with an elegant appearance, and at a glance she knew that she was a strictly trained maid.

He took the umbrella easily, got out of the carriage, and said to Jin Ying, who was drenched in the rain: "Go back quickly, this king will change into his regular clothes and go to Xianxi Palace." ”

Glancing at the familiar main entrance of Qiupu Xuan, he beckoned to Ouyang Tong, who was busy holding an umbrella, and then walked quickly towards Qiupu Xuan.

"See His Royal Highness King Yue."

There were seven maids lining up in the room to salute. Seeing this scene, Zhu Qiming suddenly felt in a trance, and only felt that such a scene of warblers and swallows seemed to remain in his childhood memories.

"Get up."

The maid from earlier came over to pick up the umbrella. Zhu Qiming stepped into the door, raised his eyes, and saw that the furnishings in the lobby were very different from the past, with paintings, incense, curtains, chairs, cabinets and tables all available. The candlelight of the counting candles glows with a light warm color.

Leaving everyone behind, I walked straight into the inner room, only to see that the furnishings inside were more luxurious, just the purple cloud-like brocade tent and the red wave-like futon on the couch could make people feel like they were in the middle of nowhere.

Okay, you are a servant king, Lao Tzu is not married, what kind of ambiguity do you play with "hibiscus tent warmth"! Zhu Qiming secretly cursed a foul word, and then started to untie the armor on his body.

Four maids followed, and they surrounded him and tried to relieve him.

"No, no, no, the armor is extremely heavy, you don't have enough strength, this king will come by himself." Zhu Qiming waved his hand again and again.

The four maids were about the same age, about thirteen and fourteen years old, and they were stunned when they heard this. A round-faced maid said carefully: "Your Highness, you are the prince, how can the slaves and maids let you change your clothes?" ”

Zhu Qiming took off his armor, took off his helmet, and hung them on the wall hook, and the wall hook "clicked" and almost fell off.

"This king is handsome, often staying in the field for more than ten days, if he can't even take care of ordinary things such as disarming and changing clothes, won't he become a waste on the battlefield?"

Xu felt that Zhu Qiming's speech was interesting, and the four of them covered their mouths and snickered.

Ouyang Tong entered and handed over the regular clothes, Zhu Qiming took it and skillfully put it on his body, and tightened his clothes and belts.

At this time, the maid's voice sounded in the hall: "His Royal Highness King Yue, He Sizan of the Shangyi Bureau asks to see you." ”

What leaves? Zhu Qiming walked out of the inner room, and at a glance he saw that He Ye was already bowing down.

"Shangyi Bureau Si Zan He Ye see His Royal Highness King Yue."

"He Sizan doesn't need to be polite."

Zhu Qiming glanced around, and Ouyang Tong and the eight maids avoided in the distance.

"Presumably Concubine Qin is in trouble, isn't she?"

He Ye's eyes widened, "Could it be that His Highness can really be a prophet?" Oh, plus the private money taken out by the Queen Mother, there are six hundred taels of silver in the treasury of the Shanggong Bureau! Recently, the queen wants to take silver from the treasury and give it to Yexian, in order to exchange it for the emperor, Concubine Qin knows His Royal Highness's intentions, the national disaster is at the head, and those silver savings can be used by the court to solve the urgent need, so she delays for some reason. However, the queen mother is pressing, and Concubine Qin is very embarrassed! ”

Zhu Qiming looked out of the door faintly, "This king remembers the kindness of the Jingci Immortal Master back then, so he didn't do things completely out of public intentions. Tell Concubine Qin that the queen is in a hurry to get the silver, if Concubine Qin pushes back, won't she become a merciless person? Once the emperor returns in the future, how should Concubine Qin deal with herself? ”

"But do you want to let so many silver taels go down the drain?"

Zhu Qiming shook his head, "How much can the queen take?" Twenty thousand taels? Fifty thousand taels? At present, the household department and the inner treasury are empty, and the compensation for the fallen soldiers, the recruitment of the people, the reward of meritorious service, etc., will cost silver everywhere, if the queen takes more than 100,000 taels of silver, there will be an uproar! In this way, can the queen still send those silver taels to Yexian? You might as well think about it carefully, whether you want to open the treasury and release the silver is the matter of Concubine Qin, and whether you can transport the silver out of the Forbidden City is the queen's business! ”

He Ye smiled knowingly, "The concubine understands!" The concubine took her leave. ”

"Wait!" Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, "The disputes in the harem have become a thing of the past, and those who have a heart should keep their duties and do nothing." ”
