Chapter 155: Inside Ningshou Palace
Originally, Zhu Jinghong was going to Qianqing Palace, but he was intercepted by the people of Ningshou Palace halfway through, and then he was taken to the Emperor Taishang.
Emperor Zhu Xinkan will turn seventy years old this year.
People live for 70 years, so this year's Holy Birthday Festival is particularly grand, and the subject countries at home and abroad, as well as the subordinate alliances, will send people to congratulate the birthday.
But Zhu Jinghong and this grandfather, to be honest, don't have much intersection, and he is also very puzzled when it is rumored at this moment.
Ningshou Palace is located in the northeastern part of the forbidden east, because of its remote location and some kind of opportunity, except for the eunuchs and palace maids on duty, there are basically few people who come here.
"Grandpa, what are you looking for your grandson?"
In the courtyard of Ningshou Palace, Zhu Xinkan, who had a white beard, was wearing a gray round-necked robe, and was standing on the edge of the pool and throwing fish food into it.
At this moment, he looks like a simple rich old man, and it is hard to think that he has also been an emperor for seventeen years.
"Grandpa?"
Zhu Jinghong raised his voice before Zhu Xinkan reacted, and then turned around.
After glancing at Zhu Jinghong and confirming that it was the little grandson who arrived, Zhu Xinkan showed a smile: "Little Thirteen, you are here!" ”
After saying this, Zhu Xinkan threw all the fish food in his hand into the pool, and then turned around to sit on a chair next to him.
Because of Zhu Xinkan's order, the left and right eunuchs are far apart, so Zhu Jinghong can only step forward to help, at least he still understands respecting the old and loving the young.
"How much did you drink just now?"
"Grandpa, just drink a little to satisfy your cravings!"
"Your father is so strict, you drink so much wine today, you are not afraid of being beaten by the board?"
Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile: "Grandpa, I'm not afraid of my rough skin and thick meat, if he wants to fight, let him beat him!" ”
Zhu Xinkan smiled, didn't say anything more, and after he sat down, he asked, "Little Thirteen, I heard that you have made a lot of contributions in Jinling?" ”
"It's not a credit, it's just that some of the widows were suppressed!"
Zhu Xinkan smiled, leaned back in the chair and said, "Like your father, they are all fifteen or sixteen years old and have not grown their hair, so they have begun to lead the troops to fight!" ”
This always sounded a little strange, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I'm just fooling around, and it's all thanks to the generals of Jinling that I can suppress the Japanese!" ”
"It's also a skill to fool around...... Quite a bit better than your two brothers! ”
Although the old man's breath was weak, every sentence made Zhu Jinghong frightened, and it was troublesome for these words to spread.
"Grandpa, don't put a top hat on your grandson, you can tell me anything!"
Zhu Xinkan smiled, and then said: "It's just to talk to you, why are you nervous...... Tell grandpa about the experience of going to Jinling! ”
"Come on, move a chair for Little Thirteen!"
Although Zhu Jinghong was very anxious and wanted to go to the Qianqing Palace to "sue the wicked first", he could only stay and speak at this moment.
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, a young girl walked out of the palace not far away, approaching the two of them with tea.
This bright color is always attractive, Zhu Jinghong glanced at it inadvertently, but found that it was Zhen Qin who entered the palace.
After getting closer, Zhen Qin's face was full of redness, which was not shy but nervous.
I already knew that I told my aunt and grandmother that I had met the thirteenth master, so I didn't need them to match.
Now that he has made such a situation, if Zhu Jinghong reveals the truth in front of him, he will lose face with his aunt......
Under the many thoughts, Zhen Qin became more and more nervous, trembling and holding the teacup, and then handed it to Zhu Jinghong.
"Thirteenth Master, you drink tea!"
Zhu Jinghong wasn't so cranky, he was just curious about whether the girl in front of him was sick, otherwise why his hands were shaking so much.
You must know that the emperor, who is nearly seventy years old, has not trembled when drinking tea!
"Thank you!"
Zhu Jinghong answered, took the cup and put it on the coffee table on the side, and then turned his gaze to the emperor.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong ignoring himself, Zhen Qin's heart suddenly felt cold, isn't he beautiful enough? Or does the person in front of you not like beautiful women?
Zhu Jinghong was about to continue, but was interrupted by Zhu Xinkan: "Do you know who she is?" ”
Glancing at Zhen Qin and seeing that he shook his head slightly with a nervous face, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "There are so many people in the palace, how can my grandson recognize them!" ”
"She is the granddaughter of the elder brother of the concubine's mother's family, and this time she came to Beijing to choose the waiter of the three girls, and she can be regarded as a close ...... you."
"In this palace in the future, you can take care of her more, don't let her be bullied!"
After hearing these words, at this moment, Zhu Jinghong just wanted to ask the old man in front of him, is this what you always called me for?
However, of course, Zhu Jinghong was wrong, just because Zhu Xinkan not only hoped that he would take care of Zhen Qin, but also hoped that he could take care of him for a lifetime.
"Grandpa's orders, how dare my grandson disobey!"
At this moment, a little eunuch ran over and said very respectfully: "Your Majesty, the concubine said, please go in and take medicine!" ”
"The medicine doesn't leave the mouth, it's really old......"
With such a sigh, Zhu Xinkan walked in the direction of the dormitory with the support of the eunuch.
Zhu Jinghong wanted to keep up, but he heard Zhu Xinkan say: "You talk first, I'll come over in a while!" ”
Is the old man really confused? Even forgot about the men's and women's defense? Zhu Jinghong complained in his heart.
But he forgot that the defense of men and women is only limited to the door-to-door pair, but there is no such attention between the upper and lower levels.
Sitting back on the chair, Zhu Jinghong took a sip of the teacup, and asked, "Miss Zhen, what we have seen, didn't you tell the emperor and the concubine?" ”
Rubbing the corners of her clothes, Zhen Qin lowered her head and replied, "They didn't ask again!" ”
Zhu Jinghong only felt funny, and said: "When you enter the palace, you have to change your temperament, don't talk about anyone anymore!" ”
"Hmm...... Got it! ”
The two chatted awkwardly like this, and Concubine Zhen in the window of the dormitory was looking at the outside situation through the gap.
"These two kids, why don't you have any words!"
Concubine Zhen is over sixty years old, and her temples are full of white, but her spirit is not bad.
Behind her, Zhu Xinkan, who had already taken medicine, replied: "I haven't met each other yet, and it's normal to have nothing to say!" ”
"The second girl was still sharp just now, but now she has become a stuffy gourd!"
"Female dolls, it's normal to be shy!"
After closing the window and retreating left and right, Concubine Zhen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can it really be done this time?" ”
Hearing this heavy topic, Zhu Xinkan was silent for a short time and replied: "This is the last chance, if it doesn't work...... What happens in the future, you can only resign yourself to fate! ”
Seeing the frightened look on Concubine Ai's face, Zhu Xinkan pulled up her sleeves and said slowly: "You don't have to worry too much, if the Qin girl and the old thirteen become friends, at least you and the Zhen family can keep it!" ”
"But if you ...... What if they don't make it? Concubine Zhen asked.
Sighing, Zhu Xinkan said helplessly: "Then only God knows!" ”
