When the mother and daughter of the Xue family were properly settled, the sun had already set in the west.

Jia Baoyu, who finished today's studies, took advantage of his father's chatting with Qingke, and sneaked into Jia's mother's house.

Sure enough, all the sisters were there, which made his boring heart suddenly come alive.

At this moment, everyone is discussing poetry, and the two of them have spoken the most, and their insights are profound and thought-provoking, so that everyone has something to gain.

As the protagonists, although the two have different opinions, they have the feeling of seeing each other late.

Seeing Jia Baoyu coming, everyone looked over, and Baochai was especially suspicious of why this person entered the inner house again.

After approaching quickly, Jia Baoyu said proudly: "I heard the master say just now that the thirteenth master entered the palace today and was punished by the saint to kneel in the Qianqing Palace, and he didn't get up until the master was on duty!" ”

Hearing this, Baochai was immediately shocked, but his face was unmoved.

"Didn't you kneel for more than two hours?" Tanchun was full of surprise.

Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "If you haven't gotten up now, I'm afraid it will take three hours!" ”

At this time, Yingchun spoke: "I don't know how much fault this thirteenth master has made!" ”

"Who knows, by the way, Sister Bao...... I just heard you say Su Dongpo's words, I think it's ......"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Baoyu ushered in two unkind glances, just because Baochai had no intention of talking about poetry at the moment, and Daiyu was dissatisfied with him talking to Baochai again.

"Hmm...... I'm going to say hello to my ancestors! Finding a step for himself, Jia Baoyu slipped away directly.

…………

On the east side of the imperial city, inside the Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Jingyuan locked himself in the study, and no one could see him, but Gao Shuyan and the others were in a hurry.

They were eager to know what the emperor had said to the crown prince so that they could discuss their next steps.

After all, this trip has completed the task of suppressing the Japanese, and whether it is a reward or a punishment must be explained.

It's a pity that the prince is nowhere to be seen, and Gao Shuyan is helpless.

Of course, there are also two concubines in the East Palace who are also anxious, among which Yuan Chun is the most assertive.

She has received the news that Zhu Jinghong is still kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace at the moment, and the sixth Zhu Jingyuan has gone to intercede.

At this time, the crown prince, who is the elder brother, should come forward no matter what, and plead with his younger brother in front of the emperor.

Showing filial piety is the cornerstone of the prince's stable position, which Yuan Chun especially understands, so she came outside the study alone.

"Your Highness, the thirteenth brother is still kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace, and it has been three hours!"

Seeing that there was no answer inside, Jia Yuanchun spoke again: "The concubine just heard about it...... King Rui has gone to the Qianqing Palace to intercede for the thirteenth brother! ”

There are many small eunuchs in the East Palace, and the news is not closed, not to mention such a major event as King Rui's travel.

I thought that the prince couldn't speak, but a voice came from inside: "If he wants to go, go ahead, the prince will let him be the one, and I will be clean!" ”

Although he didn't know how stimulated Zhu Jingyuan was, he actually said such concessions, which really made Yuan Chun's heart chill.

In order to help Zhu Jingyuan stabilize the position of the crown prince, I don't know how many people are busy, and some people even lost their lives because of this.

The people below didn't say to give up, as a protected and praised prince, what qualifications did they have to give up lightly.

Of course, these words can only be thought of in the heart, and saying them directly will only backfire.

"Your Royal Highness is the eldest prince, the ancestor is the prince, all the subjects in the world are respectful, and no one can move the position of the crown prince of His Royal Highness!"

"There are so many people in the house now, it is all thanks to the shadow of His Highness that they can survive......"

After a pause, Yuan Chun stubbornly continued: "Even if Your Highness doesn't think about yourself, you should think about your courtiers, your concubines and others!" ”

"Now that the thirteenth brother has been punished, it is not because of His Highness, how can His Highness stand by ......"

Before Yuan Chun finished speaking, the door of the room had been opened, but Zhu Jingyuan appeared in a middle coat, obviously he was lying on the bed in the afternoon.

"Enough of that?"

Hearing this, Jia Yuanchun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The concubine is arrogant, please deal with it Your Highness!" ”

Ignoring this stubble, Zhu Jingyuan shouted directly outside: "Zhang Xin......"

"The slave is here, the prince commands!"

Walking out of the threshold and glancing at Yuan Chun, Zhu Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "Change my clothes!" ”

"Yes!"

When Zhang Xin and the others were busy, Zhu Jingyuan said to Yuan Chun: "Get up!" ”

"Yes!"

When Zhang Xin and others brought robes and clothes, Jia Yuanchun wanted to leave, but he heard Zhu Jingyuan speak: "Wait a while...... Come with me into the palace. ”

"Yes!"

When the crown princess died, the two side concubines were honored in the East Palace, and Yuan Chun was relatively valued by the queen, and most of the formal and informal occasions were attended by her.

When the prince was in a hurry to prepare, Rui King Zhu Jingyuan had already entered the Qianqing Palace, and he was kneeling in front of the emperor's imperial case at this moment.

"Dad, even if the thirteenth brother is wrong, now that he has knelt for three hours, it is enough to atone for his sins, let him get up!"

"From noon to now, the thirteenth brother hasn't even eaten!"

Playing with the newly acquired jade, Zhu Xianming glanced at Zhu Jingyuan, and said slowly: "You came here to intercede?" ”

"The thirteenth brother and his son are close to each other, how can the son sit idly by and watch when he is punished now, like this...... Isn't it shameful for the people of the world! ”

Zhu Jingyuan's words, on the surface, are talking about how filial he is, but in fact he wants to blame the prince, after all, this eldest brother has not come yet.

"Finished?" Zhu Xianming asked indifferently.

"Daddy...... You just let the thirteenth brother get up, thinking that he has been kneeling for so long a day, his son's heart is like a knife! ”

Seeing Zhu Jingyuan's eyes with tears, he saw that Zhu Xianming was very embarrassed.

"Sixth, with his cow-like body, let alone kneeling for three hours, it doesn't hurt to kneel for a whole day, don't worry about it!"

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Xianming said indifferently: "If you really can't bear it, just kneel with him!" ”

"Huh?"

With just this one sentence, Zhu Jingyuan was set up, and it would definitely not work to refuse at this time.

After a short period of surprise, Zhu Jingyuan immediately said: "Since my father is unwilling to spare the thirteenth brother, then my son will go and kneel with him!" ”

The drama has been played to this point, and it won't make people laugh if they don't accompany it.

Besides, as long as Zhu Jinghong can be wooed, it doesn't hurt to kneel for an hour or two.

"Go ahead!" Zhu Xianming's tone was still light.

Besides, outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jinghong did feel very tired, especially his knees hurt badly, but as Zhu Xianming said, it was far from the limit.

"Thirteenth brother, I'm here to accompany you!"

Zhu Jingyuan appeared on the side and knelt directly beside him, causing Zhu Jinghong to be surprised.

"Sixth brother, why are you doing this?"

Zhu Jingyuan looked indignant: "I plead for you, my father doesn't agree, let me either go or kneel with you!" ”

Judging from his performance alone, Zhu Jingyuan can definitely be called a good brother, but Zhu Jinghong really can't be moved.

Because he knew very well in his heart that the purpose of this sixth brother was not pure.

"Sixth brother, thank you so much!" Zhu Jinghong also acted and even pretended to be a little moved.

Who would have thought that the honest Zhu Jinghong would deceive people, at this moment Zhu Jingyuan felt extremely comfortable, and it was worth kneeling like this today.

Fourth, fourth, thirteenth was punished because of you, and now you don't even show your face, it's really chilling...... Zhu Jingyuan's heart was secretly refreshed.

Such a person, what to fight with himself!

Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan became more and more comfortable, and said to Zhu Jinghong: "Thirteenth brother, don't worry, there is a brother here...... Let's carry all the big things together! ”

"Thank you, Sixth Brother!"

Zhu Jinghong looked more and more moved, my Ming brothers and brothers are known to the world.

As the sun set, the shadows of the two brothers were stretched out outside the Qianqing Palace.
