Chapter 225: I'm Not Ashamed
The next day, although Zhu Jinghong lived in Chengming Courtyard, which was far away from the Wuying Palace, he still noticed that the outer court was much busier today.
After agreeing to the prince's attendance at the banquet today, Zhu Jinghong didn't have the heart to go to Lin Yuan, so he wandered around the outer court at will, planning to go to Kunning Palace for lunch in a while.
Walking outside the Wuying Palace, you can see hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids walking back and forth, holding various objects and arranging the scene.
The "Thirteenth Master......" The big eunuch who was in charge of the arrangement greeted him.
"Hmm!" Zhu Jinghong replied with his hands behind his back, without saying anything.
The prince just asked him to come to the banquet, but he didn't let him be in charge of anything, and it was right not to interfere at will.
Don't look at him getting close to the crown prince, but sometimes he still has to pay attention to proportion, at least let Zhu Jingyuan see hope.
Looking at the cart passing in front of him, dozens of potted plants were pulled on it, and the flowers inside were particularly bright.
"These flowers are blooming well!" Zhu Jinghong boasted casually.
The big eunuch who followed on the side replied respectfully: "This is all sent by the Xia family, and all kinds of flowers and plants have been cultivated in his village, which are specially used by our family!" ”
Zhu Jinghong suddenly remembered who it was, but unfortunately he didn't have much interest in Xia Jingui, so he didn't ask more.
"You guys are busy, I'll go to Kunning Palace for a walk!"
"Thirteen masters, go slowly!"
Leaving the area of Wuying Palace, Zhu Jinghong carefully bypassed the Qianqing Palace, and then entered the Kunning Palace.
Different from the past, today's Kunning Palace is particularly lively, and there are nearly 100 high-ranking women who come to worship, among which there is a product of Jia Mu.
It is rare to have the opportunity to talk to the queen, and when she received the summons notice at home, Jia's mother discussed with several children and nephews, wanting to restore the image of the Jia family.
Although she was well prepared, Jia Mu didn't say a few words before she was picked up by others.
There are a lot of orders like her, and at this time, everyone wants to please the queen with all their hearts, how can they be humble to Mother Jia, the old woman.
In the end, there was no place for Jia Mu to stand in the main hall of Kunning Palace, just because others squeezed her out.
Looking at the lively scene in the main hall, Jia Mu couldn't help but sigh, this result was really something she didn't expect.
You must know that ten years ago, when the Emperor Taishang was in power, his Jia family was so glorious, and there must be a place for her in Kunning Palace.
"Ancestor?"
Although this voice was calling her, but now that she was in the palace, how could Jia Mu dare to recognize herself as an ancestor, so she just stood in place.
"Ancestor, why are you here?"
At this time, Baochai had already stepped up the steps and appeared in front of Jia Mu.
"Bao girl, you ...... I'm breathing outside! ”
As the pampered "ancestor" of the clan, Jia's mother also had to protect her face, so she lied in front of her juniors.
Baochai glanced at the hall and probably understood what was going on, but she just smiled and said: "The ancestor is happy to be quiet, and there are many people, so naturally they are not used to it!" ”
"How is my mother?"
Mother Jia replied: "She and Aunt Ling accompany each other every day, and there are endless words to say all day long, and life is going well!" ”
"That's right...... Two days ago, someone sent a message back to bring it back, saying that your brother will be back to Beijing in the next few days! ”
Baochai nodded and said, "He is finally back, so my mother also has something to rely on!" ”
"Miss Lin is doing well recently, is she still healthy?"
"Lin Yatou is accompanied by Yingchun, reading and writing every day, talking and laughing, but it is not as sad as in the past......"
With a smile on her face, Jia Mu looked at Baochai and said, "It's just that she misses you all day long, and she goes to Lixiangyuan from time to time to ask your mother when you will go back!" ”
As a princess attendant, it is equivalent to a female official in the palace, and naturally has the right to take leave.
It's just that three of the four attendants today have no relatives in their hometowns and capitals, so naturally there is no need to take leave.
Only Baochai, although his family is in Jinling, he has his mother and brother in Beijing, and he can leave the palace in this case.
"After my brother returns to Beijing in two days, I will take leave from the queen......"
Before Baochai finished speaking, he heard a shout from afar: "Miss Xue...... I'm looking for you! ”
Needless to say, there is only the queen's precious son who shouts like this in Kunning Palace.
Baochai hurriedly turned around and bowed to Zhu Jinghong who came over: "I've seen the Thirteenth Master!" ”
Beside her, Jia Mu also bowed down, and at the same time quietly looked at the young man in front of her, who was deeply entangled with her own family.
Noticing Jia Mu's gaze, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Who is this?" ”
Baochai replied: "Back to the Thirteenth Master, this is the Duchess of Xianrongguo, the old lady of the Jia family!" ”
It turned out that this was the so-called Jia Mu, looking at the old woman in front of him wearing a xia veil, Zhu Jinghong swept his gaze to Baochai.
"Miss Xue...... Let's play chess, I almost forgot the tricks you taught me a few days ago! ”
Seeing Zhu Jinghong approaching, Baochai was also afraid that he would make "excessive" moves, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay...... I'll teach you again! ”
"Ancestor, farewell!"
Although Zhu Jinghong ignored himself, Jia's mother still had a smile on her face, and hurriedly said, "Congratulations to the thirteenth master!" ”
"Hmm!" In response, Zhu Jinghong walked to the side hall on the east side, where was Zhu Yunsheng's bedroom.
"Thirteenth master, listen to the old lady...... My brother will be in Beijing in a few days! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong suddenly became interested, and said calmly: "It seems that ...... Your brother has found someone! ”
"It's been almost three months, and this time it's been delayed for so long, I think he has done his errand!"
"This ...... I'm afraid, he's disappointed the Thirteenth Master again! Baochai said with extreme caution.
"Let's not mention this matter for now, but it was last night, I have to say no to you!"
Seeing Baochai's puzzled face, Zhu Jinghong said: "Yesterday I drank a few more glasses, and I pestered the girl to drink, which is really rude, I hope the girl will not blame!" ”
It was actually because of this, Baochai felt in a bad mood when she thought about it, but she still said: "Then ...... The Thirteenth Master should drink a few less! ”
The two said this and walked into the side hall on the east side, and this scene was seen by Jia Mu.
From beginning to end, she thought that Baochai had a bright brain, but she didn't expect this girl to have such a close relationship with this thirteenth master.
Thinking of this, Mother Jia couldn't help but think of Yuan Chun, if only her granddaughter could be favored by the prince.
The main hall of Kunning Palace was very lively, and Zhu Jinghong was playing chess in the partial hall, and time passed gradually.
At this time, a eunuch found Kunning Palace and found Zhu Jinghong, who was playing chess.
"Sixth brother looking for me?"
The messenger replied, "Exactly, the prince has prepared something good for you!" ”
Putting down the chess pieces, Zhu Jinghong asked, "What good thing?" ”
"The Thirteenth Master likes armor, and our prince specially found a skilled craftsman to create heavy armor for the Thirteenth Master, as well as two good weapons!"
The last time the two brothers sent armor together, half a month has passed now, Zhu Jinghong accepted the prince's kindness, and thought that Zhu Jingyuan would skip the matter.
Who knows that this good sixth brother not only remembered this incident, but also really created the armor.
Such a brother who "values love and justice" shows such good intentions, if he ignores it, is it too ignorant?
What's more, he, Zhu Jinghong, is not completely in favor of the prince, he has to give the sixth child some hope.
After making up his mind, Zhu Jinghong's expression suddenly changed, he stood up and asked excitedly, "It's really a good thing?" ”
Such a sudden change of mood is completely in line with his martial arts personality, and everyone present does not feel strange.
"Thirteenth Master, how dare the slave lie to you, just go and see!"
After gearing up, Zhu Jinghong said to Baochai: "This sentence is a draw, let's come back next time!" ”
After that, he didn't pay attention to what Baochai thought, Zhu Jinghong went out with the eunuch talking.
"Oops...... Thirteenth Master, if you are light, the minion's hand will be pinched off! ”
Here Zhu Jinghong went out, but Baochai shook his head helplessly, and then put away the chessboard.
With her own chess skills, it is easy to play Zhu Jinghong, and it is completely to take care of his face by delaying it for so long.
"Draw and ...... I'm not ashamed! Baochai muttered to herself.
