Chapter 160: Little Sister is Not Talented
On the fifth day of the ninth month of the 10th year of orthodoxy, this is the fifth day of the investigation of the Criminal Department, and the case will be formally tried in the Ministry of Justice tomorrow.
Zhu Jinghong, as the person concerned, has been attending classes in Wenhua Hall very honestly these days, but this is tantamount to torture for him.
So every day when it's time for class, he is the first to run out.
Zhu Jingchun, who used to symbolically warm the book, also recovered his nature with Zhu Jinghong taking the lead, and he never stayed long after class.
This made the teaching Hanlin bachelor can't help but shake his head, and only sigh that these princes don't study, and they won't be able to achieve anything big in the future.
"Brother Thirteen, let's go back and ride a horse today? I was able to shoot yesterday too, so it was fun! Zhu Jingchun quickly caught up with Zhu Jinghong.
Naturally, horseback riding and archery are more fun than boring reading, especially for active boys.
"Do you want to practice boxing and kicking today?" After that, Zhu Jinghong also rolled up his sleeves.
Going to Longwu Hall every day to practice martial arts, Zhu Jinghong is not only for fun, but also to build relationships with guards and officers.
In addition to the guards of the Dragon Guard, many of the generals of the Imperial City Yiwei Command Department also came to watch the excitement, and even participated in the competition.
As long as Zhu Jinghong is there, the Longwu Hall is more lively, at least in the past few years.
"It's better than punches and feet...... That's it! Zhu Jingchun sneered.
They're just for fun, not to get beaten.
Rolling up his sleeves, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"It's gone!"
"Then get out!" Zhu Jinghong said lightly.
"Okay!"
In front of Zhu Jingchun and the others, Zhu Jinghong can also pick up his brother's style, and these two people are also in awe of him.
After the two led the eunuch away, Zhu Jinghong walked forward and looked at Deng An beside him at the same time.
"Yesterday, you were asked to inquire about the news, what did you hear?"
"Back to the thirteenth master, the slave went to ask a friend in Dongchang and learned that the criminal department was ...... It's just that the guards on duty have been promoted, and there are Hou Jing and them! ”
"Didn't pass on the Japanese?"
"Nope!"
Zhu Jinghong laughed, this matter is interesting to say, none of the direct parties have been arraigned, and the criminal department really has a set of cases.
"The envoys to Beijing are very concerned about this matter?"
"That's right, it is said that Zasak's envoy also found a lot of people to petition the Ministry of Rites, demanding that the case be strictly investigated and justice for the Japanese envoy!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and he didn't know what the Zasak people were having.
"Are there any Dzungars? Are they moving? ”
In Zhu Jinghong's memory, Zasak Khan accepted the edict of the Ming Dynasty, and it stands to reason that he should not come out to stir up trouble.
On the contrary, it is the Dzungar who is ready to move, and it is normal to provoke the envoys of various countries.
Deng An replied: "The Dzungar mission has not yet arrived in Beijing, and the original state envoy in Beijing has not moved!" ”
"I remember, Zasak was next to Dzungaria, right?"
"Exactly!"
There is nothing wrong with the antisense of Dzungar, and Zasak, who is next to him, jumped out, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel right.
"Do you want to know all this news?"
"Of course you know!"
While the two were talking, they soon came to the Seongmyeong-in.
When he returned to the dormitory, Zhu Jinghong ordered someone to change his clothes, and if he wanted to practice his fists and feet, he naturally had to wear strong clothes.
"By the way, the Xue family now lives in Rongguo Mansion?"
"Exactly!" Deng An replied.
"I'll go and see in two days, ask when Xue Pan will return to Beijing, and then inquire about Miss Xue's candidacy!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Jinghong was dressing, and suddenly someone came to say: "Thirteenth Master, someone from Ningshou Palace is here!" ”
"Ningshou Palace? What to do? ”
"The minions saw them carrying food boxes, thinking they were sending something!"
It's good to send something, but the Holy Birthday is coming, and Zhu Jinghong has not yet prepared a birthday gift.
"Let them in!"
"Yes!"
After a while, under the guidance of the eunuch, Zhen Qin took the four palace maids and walked into Zhu Jinghong's bedroom.
"Slave...... Slave maid, see the Thirteenth Master! ”
When you enter the palace, you have to call yourself a slave, which makes Zhen Qin, who has been pampered since childhood, very unaccustomed to it, and she is stumbling when she talks about it at the moment.
Tightening his wrist guards, Zhu Jinghong sat on the chair and said slowly: "No courtesy, Miss Zhen is here, why is it here?" ”
After standing up, according to the rules of these heavenly studies, Zhen Qin replied: "The slave maid is on the order of the concubine Niangniang to send fruit to the thirteenth master!" ”
Eating and drinking this kind of thing, Zhu Jinghong not only lacks it here, but also enjoys the top.
So he really didn't have much interest in the things sent by Ningshou Palace, but just thanked him out of politeness: "Thank you Concubine Jihang, don't forget to thank me when you go back!" ”
"That's a natural ......"
Concubine Zhen asked Zhen Qin to come to Chengming Courtyard to give fruit just for an excuse, in order to create a chance for the two young people to be alone.
This also means that Zhen Qin can't leave immediately, otherwise she won't be able to pay the difference if she goes back.
"The best pomelo sent today is sweet and delicious...... Do you want to taste it? ”
With that, Zhen Qin opened a food box and took out a plate from inside, which contained the peeled pulp.
"Thirteenth Master, please!"
Originally, Zhu Jinghong didn't have the heart to eat, but he also wanted to go to Longwu Hall immediately, wrestle with the guards and find out the situation by the way.
But after Zhen Qin approached, the body fragrance that came made him hesitate, after all, it would not be in the way to be verbose for a few minutes.
Looking at Zhen Qinjiao's beautiful face, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "Thank you!" ”
There are only eunuchs and guards in the outer court, and they are not interesting in Jinling at all, and they have come back to stay these days. Zhu Jinghong felt that he was about to wither.
With Zhen Qin here at the moment, at least it looks pleasing to the eye, and as for the other party's stupidity, Zhu Jinghong doesn't care too much.
"How tired it is to stand, Miss Zhen sit down...... You are the descendant of the concubine, speaking of which we are still relatives, there is no need to be too angry! ”
Although Zhen Qin has a big personality, she still lowered her head shyly when she met Zhu Jinghong's direct gaze at this moment.
Of course, she is very happy in her heart, at least her relationship with Zhu Jinghong is being pulled in, and the position of princess is becoming more and more certain.
Seeing that Zhen Qin didn't speak, Zhu Jinghong diverted the topic and asked, "Miss Zhen...... The third sister chooses to study, how long is it left? Where are we now? ”
Is this caring for yourself? Thinking of this, Zhen Qin couldn't help but glance up at Zhu Jinghong.
But then she lowered her head and replied: "Now the Ministry of Rites is in the preliminary examination, and after passing, it will be selected by the Shangyi Bureau, and the selected ones will be selected by the queen herself!" ”
"I see, I remember...... In the end, there were only four people who were selected, right? ”
Zhen Qin replied: "Exactly! ”
"It's complicated, are you sure?" Although he was asking Zhen Qin, Zhu Jinghong was thinking of Baochai.
Although he hadn't read the original book much, he also remembered that Baochai was defeated, and he couldn't accept such a result, after all, if he guaranteed a place, he had already said it.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong with a worried face, Zhen Qin suddenly became overjoyed, she didn't expect that the person in front of her would worry about her.
In this way, the position of the princess is stable!
Zhen Qin's self-confidence surged, raised her head and replied: "Little sister is not talented, but she is also a little sure!" ”
