In the Xue family's mansion, Baochai was sitting alone in the study.

From the time she left the palace to the present, she spent most of her time in the study.

She likes the quiet atmosphere, where she can read and write, and she can also practice needlework.

Every day she has a full schedule in order to have more advantages when it comes to running.

Of course, Baochai also knows that this kind of thinking is wishful thinking, and he is lucky to be able to choose a side concubine.

Like the election attendant, the princess of the prince must be appointed by the emperor and queen, and it has little to do with the person's own talent and appearance.

An "ordinary family" like Chen Zhi chose the princess, but in fact, the matter itself is not so simple.

Soon after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he needed to reassure the martial arts ministers of the world, so he focused on flaunting his adherence to the system, so the selection of Princess Rui was particularly fair.

Chen Zhi, the daughter of a man with no background, became one of the most noble women in the Ming Dynasty, and is still the first among foreign women (note: the queen and the princess are half-kings, not life women).

Only when the second princess appears will she break the title of Chen Zhi's first wife, and this day will not be far away.

Baochai was thinking about it, only to hear Ying'er's voice outside: "Girl, someone came from the palace, saying that you should go!" ”

"Got it!"

Someone suddenly came to the palace, which palace was the person? East Palace? Kunning Palace? Or Jomyeong-in?

The purpose of people coming from different places is different, and how to deal with it will be different, and Baochai thought of a lot for a while.

She didn't dare to delay, so she went to the front hall under the guidance of the girl.

When he came to the front hall, Bao Chai saw a eunuch standing in the hall, talking to his mother.

She has been in Kunning Palace for half a year, and she is very familiar with the palace maids and eunuchs inside, and she recognizes this person even if she looks at the back.

"Father-in-law Hu, it's really rude to miss the distance!"

Hearing the voice, Gonggong Hu turned around and bowed: "Miss Xue, I haven't seen you in January, the more radiant it is!" ”

"This selection, the girl will definitely have a good result!"

Aunt Xue on the side responded: "Thank you father-in-law for his auspicious words, if you can win the favor of the heavenly family, it will be the creation of this girl!" ”

"I don't know what happened to my father-in-law's trip?"

Hearing Baochai's question, Gonggong Hu patted his head and said, "I forgot about the business!" ”

"Our family is here to pass on the queen's mother's message!"

After saying this, Father-in-law Hu walked to the front of the living room, and Baochai's mother and daughter also came to the next station.

"Mother's mouth!"

Baochai and everyone in the house hurriedly knelt down, and after greeting him, he said Chitose, waiting for the old eunuch to preach.

"Enter the palace immediately with the daughter of the Xue family!"

This is the dictator, which is exceptionally concise and clear.

After visiting the shrine again, Baochai's mind raced, wondering why the queen summoned her.

"Miss Xue, come with me!"

"Father-in-law, please!"

…………

When Baochai left for the palace, in the workshop of Shanglin Yuan at this moment, Jia Yun was painting cakes for the craftsmen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have to learn the little tricks of the foreigners!"

"Not only to learn, but also to surpass them, to make better than them!"

"The Thirteenth Master said that as long as you create what he wants, the reward will never be less, and even the official can be awarded to you!"

If silver is already very tempting, then obtaining the official title and honoring the ancestors is enough to make these craftsmen give up everything.

In fact, Jia Yun has said similar things many times, but every time he listens to it, it makes the craftsmen's hearts surge.

After a lot of fighting, Jia Yun let the craftsmen leave, and he himself walked to visit the various points.

Getting the errand in charge of the workshop from Zhu Jinghong is tantamount to finding the ladder of life for Jia Yun.

In addition to being responsible for the daily operation of the workshop, he also soaked in various kilns every day, and even personally participated in things such as striking iron.

So much so that now, he has also become a half-iron crafter, at least he can do it without being fooled.

"Master Yun, Grandpa Zhang is here!"

Hearing the reminder from the little girl, Jia Yun turned around with a smile and saw that Zhang Ping'an had already come over.

"Father-in-law Zhang, today's errands have been ordered, you just drink tea in the room, why bother to come to this workshop in person!"

The father-in-law Zhang mentioned in Jia Yun's mouth was specially sent here by Zhu Jinghong to supervise the progress of the project.

The workshop will cost a lot of silver every day, although Jia Yun is very relieved, but Zhu Jinghong has never been willing to test human nature, so he sent Zhang Ping'an.

"Brother Yun, in the past two days, the Thirteenth Master has asked about the situation of the workshop again, they have to come up with things as soon as possible!"

"For example, the one-piece bullet that the thirteenth master said, even if it can't be made now, there must be a semi-finished product to take it out!"

"Another example is the barrel of a gun, not to mention the engraved lines in it, we have to make a stronger pipe!"

Hearing Zhang Ping'an's words, Jia Yun had a wry smile on her face.

When he didn't know how to do it, he thought these things were very light, but now he didn't have that idea.

Of course, at this moment, he is not good at refuting Zhang Ping'an, so he can only accept it one by one.

In fact, Zhang Ping'an also knows that it is difficult, but the meaning of his existence is to exert pressure, and it has nothing to do with him whether Jia Yun is difficult or not.

"Brother Yun, the Thirteenth Master attaches great importance to you, and the errand here has been done...... In the future, you will be indispensable for a black gauze hat! ”

These words reached Jia Yun's heart, and it was precisely with such thoughts that he would go to great lengths to toss in the workshop.

"When the time comes, I hope that Grandpa Zhang will say more good words!"

"Me? Alas...... I'm now in front of the Thirteenth Master, and I can't speak! ”

"Why is that?"

"Last time I went to Ningguo Mansion on an errand, I almost messed things up, I was afraid that I would make the Thirteenth Master unhappy, so I was thrown here!"

The last time I went to Rongguo Mansion to get people, Zhang Ping'an should have led it, but Hou Jing and others were asked to "take it indiscriminately", and Zhu Jinghong was angry about this.

So in Zhang Ping'an's view, he was assigned because of this incident.

Although Zhu Jinghong attaches great importance to the workshop, Zhang Ping'an feels that it is better to stay in Chengming Courtyard, and eunuchs are valued by staying by the master's side.

As a member of Jia's family, Jia Yun knows very well what happened when Zhang Ping'an went to Ningguo Mansion.

But he didn't care and explained: "My father-in-law's words are wrong, this errand is ordered by the saint, and the thirteenth master sent you to watch here, this is a special trust in you!" ”

"I hope so!" Zhang Ping'an smiled helplessly.

In the past, he didn't look down on Deng An, thinking that this person would only flatter, but now he has changed his opinion.

But people's personalities are really difficult to change, Zhang Ping'an thinks that he can't do what Deng An does, so he can only convince himself to stay at ease.

"Father-in-law, I got a good wine yesterday, although it is not as good as the treasures in the palace, but it also has a unique taste...... Would you like to try it? Jia Yun said with a smile.

"It's so boring to just drink!"

After saying this, Zhang Ping'an accompanied the little eunuch and ordered: "Go get some good dishes, just talk to Brother Yun today!" ”

"Yes!"

So the two men walked to the north side of the workshop, where they rested.

At this moment, more than 30 kilns in the workshop are emitting smoke and dust, and they are running at full capacity for casting experiments.

If the artillery and muskets are not up to standard, they will be melted down and redone, and so on and so forth, and the cycle of excellence will pay off.

Although weapons are very important, Zhu Jinghong also knows that it is more difficult to break through, so he focuses on army training.

After a morning of observation, although there were unsatisfactory points, it was not much different from what he expected, which was acceptable.

"I only have one pair of eyes, and it's all up to you to help me keep an eye on it, and don't be afraid of offending people...... What needs to be said must be said! ”

"If anyone disobeys you, let him come to me and shout, and if he does not want to come, I can go to him!"

"Didn't you choose you from the Dragon Guards to be good gentlemen, do you understand?"

Walking between the palace walls, Zhu Jinghong was surrounded by a group of guards and walked forward, talking endlessly.

"Thirteenth master, the minister has always been strict, and I will scold on the spot if the training is not good!" Hou Jing was the first to answer.

He didn't say a big thing, but he really did it, his grandfather was the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the top military attache of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally no one had to be afraid.

"Shut up!" Zhu Jinghong didn't have the anger to scold, because he didn't say this to Hou Jing.

Stopping, Zhu Jinghong turned to look at everyone, and said with a serious expression: "With me to support you, you should stand tall and run errands, otherwise you won't fall into my name!" ”

"All of them are deaf? What a fucking talk! Zhu Jinghong was unhappy.

"The Thirteenth Master has learned a lesson!"

"Ministers must be remembered!"

Everyone replied with a tongue and patted their chests to assure, but what kind of practical effect it could be, Zhu Jinghong was actually not sure.

He had said similar things to these people a dozen times.

…………

Let's say that in Kunning Palace, Baochai has answered more than a dozen questions from the queen.

This time, the queen sent Baochai into the palace to specifically inquire about Chen Zhi and Yuan Chun, and it was obvious that the entanglement between the East Palace and Rui Wangfu around Baochai had reached Yang Qingyin's ears.

In the face of the queen's inquiry, Baochai naturally didn't dare to lie, so she told the truth about the matter.

As for the situation, Yang Qingyin has done a preliminary investigation, and everything she said matches what Baochai said, and she fully understands what happened.

"In the future, I will have less contact with Princess Rui, the so-called intimate...... The crown princess is your cousin! ”

The queen has always been biased towards the crown prince, and Baochai knows this very well.

So naturally, the queen will hope that the youngest son and the prince will treat each other with all sincerity, and the identity of Baochai and Yuanchun's cousins can just consolidate the relationship between Zhu Jinghong and the prince.

So at this time, there is only one way to answer.

"Niangniang's teachings, courtiers remember!"

"You're a good boy, I'm sure you're very different, I just hope you don't go the wrong way!"

The queen's warning was very strong, which gave Baochai a great sense of crisis.

secretly said that even if he chose the side concubine, he would not be happy between the crown princess and Princess Rui.

And if the princess is chosen...... In Baochai's opinion, this may be very small, so I simply don't consider it.

"The courtiers understand!"

Nodding, Yang Qingyin said calmly: "Sheng'er wants to talk to you, you can go to her!" ”

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

"The courtiers are retired!"

After Baochai left, Yang Qingyin sighed helplessly, she actually knew that it was difficult for Baochai to be caught in the middle.

"If she becomes a princess, I'm afraid that the thirteenth will also make difficulties, so it's enough to let her be a side concubine!" Yang Qingyin thought secretly.

"But if Ting is a princess, can she persuade the old thirteen?"

For a while, Yang Qingyin also made a difficulty.

Yang Qingyin thought about it, at this moment Baochai had walked out of the main hall, and at a glance he saw the direction of the east hall, and Daiyu and Xiangyun were waiting.

"Sister Bao......" Xiangyun shouted, and then pulled Daiyu to trot over.

Walking down the steps and looking at the two people facing him, Baochai smiled and said, "Look at you...... It's not regular in the palace, it's like a child! ”

At this time, Daiyu also stepped forward and complained: "I haven't seen you for so long, Sister Bao taught us a lesson as soon as she came, it's really chilling!" ”

After looking at Daiyu and seeing that her complexion was much better, Baochai couldn't help but feel relieved, and then said: "If it's wrong, no one is allowed to say it?" Do you still boast about you? ”

At this time, Xiangyun said on the side: "Sister Lin remembers you every day, but she is afraid of her future husband...... That's it! ”

Taking two steps back, Xiangyun smiled brighter and brighter: "Speaking of which...... The two sisters are really like a couple! ”

Hearing Xiangyun's teasing, before Xue Lin and the others got angry, they heard a voice outside the palace gate.

"Forced? What's pressing? Who's swearing? ”

The three of them didn't need to look at it to already know who was coming.

Xiangyun became more and more energetic at the moment, so he turned around and said: "I just said that the future husband is here, the future husband is here, this is really a coincidence!" ”

knew that Xiangyun was going to joke again, but without waiting for Baochai to stop him, Daiyu on the side cooperated.

"Which future husband is here?"

Xiangyun took a few steps back, laughed and said, "Of course, it's our sister Bao's future husband!" ”

"Huh? So that's the case......" Daiyu also retreated, guarding against Baochai's trouble.

It has been a month since she entered the palace, and Daiyu has become familiar with Zhu Jinghong, and she has made a lot of jokes on weekdays, so she is as bold as Xiangyun at this moment.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong had already walked into the court, unconcerned about their jokes.

But everyone's jokes felt particularly harsh in Yang Jingting's ears, after all, she was the future princess.

I only heard Yang Jingting say: "The princess is studying, and the younger sisters should not be noisy!" ”

Seeing Yang Jingting again after a month, Baochai also noticed the change in this woman, who was much more mature and stable than before.

"If she is the princess and I am the side concubine, I am only afraid of ......" is obviously worried about the future of Baochai.

Looking at the oncoming Zhu Jinghong, Baochai made a blessing ceremony.

"Bao girl, why did you enter the palace!"

Zhu Jinghong came to Kunning Palace today, in fact, he was talking to Xiangyun Daiyu, he didn't put all his thoughts on his career every day, and he was very clear about the combination of work and rest.

Without waiting for Baochai to answer, Yang Jingting had already walked down the steps of the East Hall, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thirteenth brother, I have already made the folding fan you said yesterday...... Would you like to take a look? ”

Yang Jingting took the initiative so much, which was really beyond Baochai's expectations, and secretly said that it has changed a lot this month.

But how did she know that Yang Jingting was also nervous at this time, she said this only after giving up everything.

"Folding fan!"

Danqing was painted on the folding fan, Zhu Jinghong mentioned this matter in passing, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he thought about it after listening to Yang Jingting.

"Brother Thirteen, let's go take a look...... The princess has bothered to do so! ”

When she came to Zhu Jinghong's side, Yang Jingting kept cheering herself up, and only then did she say this.

She loves deeply, and at the same time she loves very tired, but she is also willing.

"Then let's go check it out!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

has said that it is too bad to give face to his cousin if he doesn't look at it, which may not be a good thing for Baochai.

And Baochai smiled shallowly throughout the whole process, as if he didn't care about the scene in front of him.

As for Daiyu and Xiangyun, they watched like good babies, and they felt something unusual, but they really couldn't speak.

"Sister Bao, you ......" Xiangyun looked worried.

"I'm very good, I heard that the princess is going to see me, let's go in too!"

was robbed of her lover in front of her and looked as usual, Xiangyun Daiyu couldn't help but admire.

But how would they know that after seeing the sachet on Zhu Jinghong's waist, Baochai knew that he was invincible.

Yang Jingting can pull Zhu Jinghong away, but she can't pull his heart.

Folding fans and sachets, folding fans can't compare to sachets after all...... Baochai thought calmly.

1, Baochai has a hard injury, she feels that she can't choose the princess, in fact, it is a very normal thinking, this is a clear understanding of herself.

2, Baochai has difficulties in choosing the princess, and like most people in the comment area, she can't even run.

3. The existence of difficulties does not mean that the difficulties cannot be overcome, especially for people like the protagonist, it is not unusual to do anything.

4. My 900,000-word content, under pressure, mainly wrote Baochai, how could I pull my crotch at the most critical time!

You don't believe me, it hurts me!
