Chapter 374: The First Test of Cloud and Rain

In the palace, the flowers, trees, tables and chairs are fully furnished, and it looks more like a place to live than before.

After turning around the outer hall and the inner hall of the outer hall and the official offices of the left and right courtyards, the warehouse and the residential area of the guards and eunuchs, Zhu Jinghong stepped into the inner house.

When he arrived here, Zhang Lin and the other guards did not follow.

Even if there were no female dependents living inside, Zhu Jinghong didn't take the initiative to invite, so they could only wait outside.

Zhu Jinghong's dormitory is called Yin'an Palace, and after Yin'an Palace is the concentric hall of the princess's bedroom, which is connected by a corridor before and after, which means that the prince and the princess are of one heart and one mind.

After turning around again, Zhu Jinghong stood under the corridor of the Tongxin Palace, looked at Deng An who was standing beside him, and asked, "Where does the girl of the Qin family live?" I'm going to see her! ”

Deng An replied: "Just listen to the rain in the back garden, there is a clean place to live!" ”

"You will arrange, lead the way!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was in a good mood, Deng An was also very happy in his heart, and he believed that the master would be even happier in a while.

Here, Zhu Jinghong went to listen to Yuzhai, and his own eunuch went to pass the word, so that Qin Keqing and others could prepare to greet him.

At this time, listening to Yuzhai, after Qin Keqing carefully dressed up, he looked even more radiant, and even the eunuch who passed the message felt dazzled.

With the two girls beside her, Ke Qing came to the door of Tingyu Courtyard, worried and scared and a little expectant.

Worry is easy to understand, fear is well understood, as for anticipation...... In fact, I want to pass this hurdle as soon as possible, so that I don't have to worry about it in the future.

In a complicated mood, Keqing heard the sound of talking and footsteps, so her heart beat faster.

The so-called expectation quickly faded, and only fear and fear remained.

When it sounded what would happen in a while, Keqing felt that his mouth was dry, and he couldn't even think about it.

So much so that when Zhu Jinghong appeared around the corner, she even forgot to go to greet her.

Deng An snorted a few times before he woke Keqing up from his mental internal friction, and the latter hurriedly greeted Zhu Jinghong.

Because she was too nervous, Ke Qing tripped over her skirt before she took two steps, but fortunately, Zhu Jinghong quickly stepped forward to support her.

"The girl is all right!"

This is already in the palace, and the girls have all lived here, Zhu Jinghong will no longer pretend to be a saint, and he will hold Keqing's waist firmly at this moment.

"None...... It's okay, the little woman sees the thirteenth master! ”

Seeing that Keqing wanted to worship, Zhu Jinghong directly grabbed her, and said slowly: "No need to be polite, I just came to see you!" ”

He could feel that the girl in front of him was extremely nervous, so he said in a calm and reassuring tone: "You live here, are you still happy?" ”

"Everything is good here, thank you for the blessing of the Thirteenth Master!"

After cutting Li Keqing's sideburns, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk!" ”

"Thirteenth Master, please!"

"What are you please, let's go together!" Zhu Jinghong pulled Keqing and went inside.

Baozhu Ruizhu stepped aside and let Zhu Jinghong and the others in.

But when they were about to follow in, they were stopped by several eunuchs.

"With us in it, we won't bother the two girls!"

Obviously, this is also Deng An's arrangement.

For Zhu Jinghong's following things, Deng An can be said to be thinking about it.

Let's say that Zhu Jinghong and the others entered the hall, and only the two of them were left in the room, and the matter of serving people fell on Keqing.

"The Thirteenth Master drinks tea!"

Between the two of them alone, Keqing became more nervous, and even the hand serving the tea trembled.

Soon, her hand was held by Zhu Jinghong, and then the teacup in her hand was taken.

After taking a sip, Zhu Jinghong nodded and said, "The tea made by the girl is extraordinarily fragrant!" ”

"The Thirteenth Master said it was funny!"

"Sit and talk!" Zhu Jinghong pointed to the chair next to him.

Ke Qing could only sit down, and there was still a look of nervousness in his expression.

"Don't be nervous, I won't eat!" That being said, Zhu Jinghong's eyes have never left others.

It seems that he has been holding back in the palace for too long, and at this moment, when men and women are alone, he has an indulgent mentality.

After drinking tea, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Is the girl living comfortably?" Can you eat and drink as you wish? ”

"Lao Thirteen Masters, everything is fine with the little woman!"

"You don't have to be too restrained, I've always been very kind, let's just match you and me, and put aside the red tape!"

Hearing Zhu Jinghong call himself "kind", Keqing only felt extremely absurd, at least Jia Zhen would never think so.

"Yes!"

"What are you doing here these days, girl?"

Zhu Jinghong took the initiative to provoke the topic, and the two chatted according to his guidance, and the deep separation and embarrassment gradually disappeared.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Jinghong opened Qin Keqing's heart with a down-to-earth chat, at least making her no longer so nervous.

Seeing that there was talk and laughter inside, Deng An, who was standing at the door, was also very happy, and he had a full sense of accomplishment at this moment.

Zhu Jinghong was a person who couldn't sit still, and after chatting for a while, he stood up and wanted to see the situation in this listening to Yuzhai.

Ke Qing would not let him go alone, and immediately got up and followed.

After walking inside, the environment became more quiet, but Keqing's originally peaceful heart became nervous again.

She lowered her head and followed, but unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong suddenly stopped and turned around, and the two bumped into each other.

"Ah...... Thirteen masters! ”

Zhu Jinghong was not a saint at the moment, he opened his arms and hugged Keqing into his arms, and then lowered his head to look at the beauty in front of him.

If a person holds it for a long time, the speed of fire will be very fast, especially under the gaze of Ke Qingyu.

"Thirteenth Master, please have mercy!"

This sentence of "soft and weak" can melt Zhu Jinghong's heart, making him want to feel pity immediately.

Of course, he did this, and hugged Ke Qing Heng the next moment.

A good man is upright, pretending to be serious at this time, Zhu Jinghong himself will look down on himself.

With her hands around Zhu Jinghong's neck, Keqing's breathing became rapid, she had imagined today's situation countless times, but she never expected it to develop so quickly.

When she continued to think crankily, Zhu Jinghong's kiss made her directly stunned.

"Thirteen Masters~"

The delicate voice made Zhu Jinghong even more like a chicken blood, and his blood was full of blood.

When the spring breeze was rippling in the room, Deng An, who was guarding the gatehouse, closed the door very consciously.

The eunuchs here at this moment are all Deng An's confidants, and they can ensure that today's affairs will not leak out.

When there was a muffled snort and even a shout inside, the two Baozhu who were waiting in the courtyard were so anxious that they thought something was going on inside.

"Father-in-law, inside?"

Deng An looked serious, and said slowly: "Wait, don't ask about the things inside!" ”

"Yes!"

Time passed like this, and about half an hour later, Zhu Jinghong covered Keqing with the quilt, and he only felt extremely happy.

It was the first time he was tossed by him for so long, but Keqing was both painful and tired at the moment, and there were tears in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Jinghong.

Gu put on his robe, but at this moment, Zhu Jinghong had no one to help, so he looked a little clumsy.

"The little woman helps the thirteenth master!"

Seeing that Keqing was about to stand up, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "You are lying down, I can do it myself!" ”

While starting to get dressed, Zhu Jinghong said: "In the future, you can live in peace, I will take the time to come and see you!" ”

"The Thirteenth Master is leaving?" Keqing's tone was full of grievances, and tears involuntarily stayed.

After today's events, her heart is tied to Zhu Jinghong, and she naturally doesn't want him to leave at this moment.

What's more, for Keqing, who is insecure, shrinking into Zhu Jinghong's arms makes her feel very relieved, and the love in her heart is gradually growing.

It's really too scummy to leave when you're done...... Zhu Jinghong said secretly.

So he sat on the edge of the bed again, kissed Keqing on the forehead, and then said, "I'm not leaving...... With you! ”

After that, Zhu Jinghong hugged Keqing into his arms, and the two of them got tired again.

At this moment, the time has come to the afternoon, when Zhu Jinghong and Keqing are complaining to each other, Baochai is waiting anxiously outside the Dong'an Gate.

Although he felt that there would be no loss, when the matter was not finalized, Baochai still couldn't be calm.

She rarely has such a mentality now, which shows how important the matter of running for the princess to marry Zhu Jinghong is in her heart.

There were a lot of people coming and going from outside Dong'anmen, and when the Xue family and his party approached in front of them, Baochai found them.

The sedan chair of the Xue family fell, and Aunt Xue, supported by Ying'er and Wen Xing, walked in the direction where Baochai was.

After the mother and daughter met, they went to the corner together, just because it was not easy to talk in a crowded place.

"Mother, how's that?" Baochai asked with hope.

Aunt Xue sighed, looking like she wanted to say something.

But for the sake of her daughter's future, she still said clearly: "Baochai...... I look at this princess, you better not choose! ”

"The Jia family doesn't want to help?" Baochai hurriedly asked, not reassuring her mother's words at all.

Aunt Xue was about to explain, but Ying'er on the side couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Girl, the Jia family is not only unwilling to help, they also ridicule the girl...... Say that the girl is climbing high branches! ”

"Mrs. Jia, why are you so ......" Baochai was incredulous.

From the beginning, she asked her mother to go to Jia's mother, not her stupid aunt.

So at this time, she thought it was Jia Mu like this, so she couldn't believe it.

"It's not Jia ......"

"Ying'er, shut up!" Aunt Xue turned around and scolded.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Xue looked back at her daughter, but saw that Baochai's face was extremely ugly.

Although Ying'er didn't say what she said later, she also knew that her mother didn't listen to her warning, so she still went to find her aunt.

"Baochai, your aunt ...... her"

"Mother, you don't have to say more, I understand!"

is different from what Aunt Xue thought, Baochai has no hatred in her heart at this moment, she is more anxious, anxious about how to get the queen's permission to run for election.

"Mother, go back first, I still have something to do with the princess!" Baochai said goodbye directly.

"Bao girl, you ......"

"My daughter is rude, let's go first!"

Obviously, Baochai also had a grudge in her heart for her mother who didn't listen to this persuasion, and turned around and left after saying this.

Aunt Xue only felt uncomfortable, sighed and turned to leave.

And their conversation just now, but they were stared at by the people of Rui Wangfu, and when they learned that Baochai had entered Donghua Gate, Chen Zhi asked people to carry them in.

Today's matter, King Rui and his family discussed it in detail, so the time to see Baochai was very accurate.

They must wait for Baochai to know the reason and have hatred for the Jia family before they can make a move.

This also means that even if Fang Cai is not broken by Ying'er, King Rui and his family will think of other ways to let Baochai know what happened to the Jia family today.

This is called a last resort, thinking of these Chen Zhi with a smile on her face, it is her greatest pleasure to make trouble for the prince's family.

After Baochai entered Dong'anmen, Chen Zhi happened to meet her.

"Baochai!" Chen Zhi screamed very affectionately.

Hearing someone shouting behind him, Baochai turned around and saw that it was Princess Rui behind.

"See the princess!"

"Excuse me!"

Signaling the eunuchs to get off the sedan chair, Chen Zhi walked out of the sedan chair with the support of the maidservant, and then came to Baochai.

"Seeing that you are preoccupied, and you are still worried about the affairs of Fang Cai?" Chen Zhi smiled warmly, looking like a confidant sister.

"I didn't ...... The courtiers are fine! ”

Taking Baochai's hand, Chen Zhi said with a smile: "You girl is hard-mouthed, I heard the conversation between you and your mother just now!" ”

When Princess Rui heard the conversation, Baochai felt extremely embarrassed, so even she couldn't help but lower her head, and for a while she felt even more resentful of her aunt.

Seeing her appearance, Chen Zhi's tone became softer and softer, and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, isn't it just a matter of running for election, since the Jia family is inconvenient, I will help you go and tell the queen mother that it is the same!" ”

At this moment, Chen Zhi smiled very warmly, and in Baochai's eyes, she was like a living Bodhisattva crossing the sea of suffering, and almost all her body was full of holy light.

Baochai's eyes, Chen Zhi also saw it in her eyes, which strengthened her mind to push Baochai to the top.

One destroyed Zhu Jinghong's reputation, the second made Baochai, the princess, grateful to the Rui Palace, and the third alienated Zhu Jinghong and the crown prince...... If you kill three birds with one stone, you can't do it.

In fact, Baochai is also an extremely smart person, Chen Zhi really happened to show up to help, and she was keenly aware that there was something going on.

As long as she thought about it roughly, she guessed what Chen Zhi was thinking, and at this moment she showed a grateful look, in fact, it was also to plan for the sake of planning.

As long as Chen Zhi can really help her, no matter what evil intentions she harbors, Baochai can pretend not to see it.

"Mother, courtier......"

At this moment, Baochai was too excited, and even squeezed out two tears, which caused Chen Zhi to further exert herself and take out a handkerchief to wipe it away for her.

"You girl, you really have a sincere heart for the thirteenth brother, so affectionate...... How can it be in vain! ”

Patting Baochai's jade hand, Chen Zhi said slowly: "Let's go...... Come with me to Kunning Palace, and I will personally go and tell the queen mother that her old man will agree to your candidacy! ”

With such a fraternity, Chen Zhi was moved by herself, and secretly said that today's acting skills are extraordinary.

"...... I ......"

"Needless to say, come with me!"

Chen Zhi pulled Baochai into the sedan chair, and then ordered to go to Donghua Gate.

And under Chen Zhi's arrangement, the fact that the two of them were riding in the same sedan chair would inevitably reach Yuan Chun's ears and play a role in tearing up the relationship between the cousins.

When the sedan chair arrived at Donghua Gate, it belonged to the palace further in, and even the princess Chen Zhi had to get off the sedan chair, so she pulled Baochai into the palace together.

Along the way, Chen Zhi continued to comfort Baochai, and at the same time praised her as the daughter of Zhong Lingyuxiu, the first in the world, and she would definitely be able to choose the princess this time.

"Niangniang, you also know my family's family history......"

Without waiting for Baochai to finish speaking, Chen Zhi immediately said: "Of course I know, my father is just a lifter, didn't I also choose the princess back then?" ”

"I choose a concubine for the Ming Dynasty, and I don't pay attention to the family, so you can relax!"

Baochai was still depressed: "But my father died early, I am an ominous person, and it is difficult for me to enter the eyes of the royal family!" ”

Chen Zhi agrees with this point, if he can choose the princess in this way, Zhu Jinghong has to be hard with the emperor, of course Chen Zhi is happy to see this scene.

Chen Zhi's expression became more and more loving, and she said step by step: "Don't think too much, who can say for sure what will happen in the future, as long as the queen mother agrees to you to run, who dares to say that you are not qualified to enter the door of the Zhu family?" ”

"I'm afraid that Niangniang won't agree!" Baochai said tentatively.

Chen Zhi smiled and said calmly: "It's not me, you can rest assured!" ”

"Hmm!" Baochai still looks cowardly.

No matter how smart you are, you're just a little girl, and now it's not easy for me to handle...... Thinking of this, Chen Zhi's smile became even brighter.

The two walked all the way to the palace, and after ten minutes they entered the Kunning Gate, and the two stopped outside the main hall together.

"You wait here, I'll go first to say hello to the queen mother, no matter how difficult your matter is, I will help you!"

Hearing Chen Zhi's strong assurance, Baochai burst into tears: "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”
