Chapter 399: The Royal Bride

"Keqing's sister served the prince, but now she is still living in Tingyuzhai, no matter what, I can't say what the concubine means...... Ask her to move to Jiangyunzhai to live! ”

"Oh...... The princess is self-determined in this matter! Zhu Jinghong replied casually.

Glancing at Keqing, Baochai said with a smile: "Then arrange it like this!" ”

"Thank you Lord, thank you Princess!" Keqing hurriedly thanked him.

I only heard Baochai continue: "After a while, I will give Keqing's sister a position, and the matter will be completed!" ”

Her words can be said in Keqing's heart, her greatest wish in the palace is to have a name, so that she can hold her head up and be a man.

Several people talked for a while, and then Zhu Jinghong led Baochai out, and it was time to enter the palace to ask for peace.

After the two of them left, Ke Qing also returned to Tingyuzhai's residence, and Ruizhu and the others smiled happily at this time.

"Girl, the princess is really a good person, she is really considerate to the girl, not only arranged a serious residence, but even took the girl's status to heart!"

"Yes, girl...... In the future, we will be in the palace, and we can rest assured! ”

After listening to the words of the two girls, Keqing was also happy, the princess was really the same Baochai as she was at the beginning, she was so empathetic and considerate.

When Keqing was full of gratitude and ordered Ruizhu and the others to pack their things, Zhu Jinghong and the others had also entered the imperial city and came all the way to the outside of Kunning Palace.

Although it was to meet the emperor and queen, generally speaking, the emperor would not be there, so they could only see the queen.

The two entered Kunning Palace, and it happened that the other concubines were there, so they all talked to Baochai.

The concubines often come to Kunning Palace, and they know Baochai, the former princess, to study, and they are very familiar with each other.

The concubines each have different positions and preferences, but Baochai chats with everyone but can take care of them, which makes the queen see it in her eyes, and she can't help but sigh again that this girl is smart and clever.

In contrast, Princess Rui Chen Zhi seems to be a small family because of her overthinking.

As for Yuan Chun, although he is also a thoughtful and cautious person, he is under too much pressure after all, and he lacks a little bit of aura.

For a while, Yang Qingyin went through the three daughters-in-law, and she felt more and more pleasing to the eye when she looked at Baochai.

Knowing that Zhu Jinghong and his wife were here to meet the queen, the concubines did not stay for too long, so they consciously left Kunning Palace.

"Erchen...... Knock on the Queen Mother! ”

This is a very formal visit, so Zhu Jinghong and the two are called "sons", and then Yang Qingyin also blessed and encouraged the two of them according to the custom.

"Baochai, the old thirteen acted recklessly, you have to admonish him more in the future, don't let him cause trouble!"

Hearing this, Baochai replied: "Your Highness is much calmer now, and she is no longer as frivolous as before, and the Queen Mother can rest assured!" ”

"I hope so!" Yang Qingyin smiled helplessly.

Then the three of them talked for a while, until Yang Qingyin showed fatigue, and Zhu Jinghong and the two said goodbye and left.

After leaving the main hall of Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong said: "I haven't seen the third sister for a long time, let's go see her!" ”

Baochai smiled and asked, "Really?" Is the prince going to see the third sister, or going to see the other sisters! ”

"I'm just a sister, how can there be other sisters!" Zhu Jinghong replied with righteous words.

Following Zhu Jinghong down the steps, Baochai said in a low voice: "Sister Lin, Sister Yun, and Qin Girl, aren't they all sisters...... Why should the prince hide it! ”

Stopping, Zhu Jinghong looked at Baochai beside him and said, "Bao girl, let you be presumptuous for a while, and I will clean you up at night!" ”

"Ling...... Hum! ”

Since he couldn't say it, Baochai chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and went directly to the east hall first.

For this place where her "dream" was achieved, Baochai has special feelings, and she misses the people inside.

Outside the east hall, Baochai asked curiously: "What's going on today...... No one is playing outside! ”

How would she know that with Zhu Jinghong's marriage and no one to restrain her in the past few days, Zhu Yunsheng let go of her heart to play again, and fell behind again in her homework.

At this moment, she and several attendants were either copying books or embroidering flowers to complete the "grace" given by the queen.

Baochai entered the palace first, and all the palace maids he met along the way visited the princess, and they were very conscious of changing their words.

When I came to the outside of the study, the few people who were busy inside all looked up and saw Baochai who entered the door.

"Treasure ......"

Zhu Yunsheng was about to speak, when he saw Zhu Jinghong who came in behind, so he changed his words: "Ten ...... Thirteen sisters-in-law! ”

I treated you as a waiter and a good sister, and you became my sister-in-law...... Zhu Yunsheng was in a complicated mood at the moment.

Coming to the bookcase, Baochai said slowly: "I haven't seen you for a few days...... Sheng'er can't recognize me? ”

Just as Zhu Yunsheng changed her words, at this moment Baochai's name for her has also changed, no longer calling her "princess" but "Sheng'er", and picking up the identity of her sister-in-law.

Bypassing the bookcase, Zhu Yunsheng smiled: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, it's just that when I saw my sister-in-law shining today, I thought it was a heavenly immortal...... Therefore, I dare not recognize each other! ”

Taking Zhu Yunsheng into his arms, Baochai pointed her forehead with his finger and said, "Sheng'er...... Don't come to coax me with all this nonsense! ”

"Sister-in-law, how dare I coax you...... You're my precious sister! Zhu Yunsheng was coquettish, but he had other plans in his heart.

She is a person who can't be locked up, and now that Zhu Jinghong has opened a mansion outside the palace, she naturally wants to sneak out to play, and she needs Baochai's "pillow wind".

"Meet the Princess!"

When Baochai and Zhu Yunsheng were talking, Daiyu and several people came forward to greet them.

Although everyone knows each other very well and has a very good relationship in private, the rules are the rules, and the salute must not be abolished, unless Baochai takes the initiative to say that the courtesy is exempt.

Looking around, Baochai said with a smile: "Now that I am not in the palace, the sisters are divided!" ”

At this time, Zhu Jinghong sat on the chair on the side, picked up the ornaments on the side and played, and said, "It's not a raw part...... When they saw me coming, no one came forward to greet me! ”

Baochai glanced at him and said, "Who is talking about you!" ”

However, at this time, Zhen Qin came to Zhu Jinghong's side, handed over a cup of tea and said, "The thirteenth master drinks tea!" ”

Zhen Qin took the initiative to hand over the tea, which seemed a little abrupt at this moment.

Zhu Jinghong was also stunned for a while, and then Baochai's voice came from the side: "Why didn't the prince continue?" This is the heart of the piano girl! ”

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong really couldn't judge the meaning contained in Baochai's words.

But in order not to embarrass Zhen Qin, Zhu Jinghong reached out and took it, and then said, "Thank you!" ”

At this time, Baochai asked again: "Qin girl, why do you only hand him tea, am I not a guest?" ”

"Mother, later!"

Baochai was originally joking, but Zhen Qin really happily poured tea, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Daiyu spoke: "Sister Bao, but I don't know if the palace is still used to living?" ”

"Pretty used to it!"

Daiyu then asked, "Has the Thirteenth Master treated you well?" ”

At this time, Zhu Jinghong put down the teacup and said, "Lin girl, what do you mean by this?" Did I still bully your sister Bao? ”

Daiyu walked around behind Baochai and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, the thirteenth master is used to dancing with knives and guns, and Sister Bao's delicate character is afraid that she can't withstand the thirteenth master's hot hand!" ”

"Girl Lin, what nonsense are you talking about......"

Baochai was about to have a seizure, and Zhu Yunsheng on the side also answered: "This is right, the thirteenth brother has always been reckless and irritable, how can he know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" ”

For a while, in Zhu Yunsheng's house, everyone "denounced" Zhu Jinghong, and the scene was lively.

Not long after staying at Zhu Yunsheng's place, Zhu Jinghong left with Baochai, and according to the system, they had to go to the East Palace to meet today.

When they left the palace, they also met Zhu Jingchun and the others, and these two guys came to greet each other.

Both of them were born in the thirteenth year of Chengping, only in March and in September, in other words, they will also be crowned kings next year.

After talking nonsense with these two little brothers for a while, after getting enough of his brother's admonition, Zhu Jinghong led Baochai out of the palace.

When they wanted to meet the East Palace, they sent someone to report in advance, and when the two of them arrived, the prince and his wife were already waiting in the carrying hall.

Although the name of the East Palace is the East Palace, the pattern is similar to the Prince's Mansion, and the name of the main hall is also called the "Carrier Palace", but the decorative patterns are more elaborate and the regulations are larger.

At this moment, in the carrying hall, the prince and his wife sat on the throne, and Zhu Jinghong slowly entered the hall with Baochai.

At the time of the founding of the country, the East Palace of the pro-dynasty was extremely formal, but now the rituals have been simplified a lot, to be precise, more life-like.

So whether it is Zhu Jinghong or the prince, they are all daily clothes at the moment, and they don't look so solemn.

"Meet the crown prince and princess!"

Zhu Jinghong paid homage to Baochai, and the prince on the throne was already smiling, and immediately said: "Thirteenth brother...... Excuse me! ”

"The thirteenth brother marries a good wife, which is a blessing for my royal family!"

The prince's voice fell, and Yuan Chun followed: "Thirteenth brother, for you to come today, the prince has carefully prepared a banquet, saying that he wants to congratulate you on his good life!" ”

"Such a beautiful marriage, since a good birthday celebration!" The prince smiled sincerely.

But in fact, because of the article "young and sluggish", the prince did not recognize Baochai as the princess.

But seeing that his brother really likes it, and then relates to the relationship between Yuanchun and Baochai, he can only be forced to agree.

The prince is a real person, since he agrees with it in his heart, he will really treat Baochai as his brother-in-law, so at this moment, he sincerely congratulates Zhu Jinghong and the others.

Under the guidance of the prince, they went to the back garden of the East Palace, and it was difficult for people who were not close to them to come here for a banquet.

It is said to be a banquet, but in fact, it is also an occasion for special talking.

The prince chatted with Zhu Jinghong about the court situation, and lamented that the Ming Dynasty is now worried about internal and external troubles, especially the boiling grievances on the ground in Jinling, which makes him very worried about the future court situation.

Yuan Chun and Baochai were talking on the side, and the two chatted about some things between sisters, and they were also talking and laughing for a while.

A banquet has come down, and the time has come in the afternoon.

The palace sent a new batch of songs, and when Zhu Jingyuan needed to read them in time, the banquet would be over.

Out of the East Palace, Zhu Jinghong got into the carriage with Baochai, and the two chatted in the car again.

Regarding the interaction in the East Palace just now, the two already have a tacit understanding, and there is basically no need to review it afterwards.

However, before the carriage left the imperial city, they were stopped, but the people who came were the generals of the North Four Guards.

"I'll meet you!" Zhu Jinghong glanced at Baochai and said.

Immediately after that, he got out of the carriage, and when he asked, he realized that there was a problem with the training coordination, although the gang came up with a strategy to deal with it, they still wanted Zhu Jinghong to check it.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong would not give up such an opportunity, so he said to Baochai, and then left with a group of generals.

So Baochai could only sit in the carriage alone and went out of the imperial city to Xiangwang's mansion.

After returning to the palace, Baochai was not idle, and ordered all the stewards of the palace to go to the Tongxin Palace, and as the princess, she had to personally lecture and begin to exercise her stewardship.

The Xiangwang Mansion is very large, and there are many people living in it.

Aside from the guards, after several rewards from the queen, there are now more than 200 eunuchs in the palace and more than 120 maids.

It is definitely not an easy task to manage so many people and maintain the normal operation of the palace.

But Baochai has experience as a housekeeper and knows that as long as you manage key people well, you will probably not go wrong.

So at this moment, the stewards and eunuchs and female officials of the palace all appeared in the courtyard outside the Tongxin Palace.

There are three eunuchs in the palace, but today Yu Hai went with Zhu Jinghong, so only Deng An and Zhang Ping'an were there.

In addition to him, there were eight other stewards and eunuchs and four female officials, and there were a total of fourteen people outside the Tongxin Palace.

Today is the first time that the princess has summoned her, Deng An and the others are extremely cautious, and none of them have spoken at this moment.

After waiting outside the hall for a quarter of an hour, I saw a maid carrying a chair and a coffee table on the steps, and everyone knew that the princess was coming out.

In addition to the chairs and coffee table, there are also screens and other things behind it, highlighting the majesty and solemnity of the pomp, and Baochai is very aware of the effect brought by these things.

Deng An and the others stood more and more respectfully, and it took about a few minutes before Baochai appeared accompanied by Ying'er and a few others.

"The slave (maid) knocks on the mother!"

When everyone worshipped, Baochai was already seated.

After waiting for a few breaths, Baochai said, "Get up!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

"Among you...... Some of them I know, others I have seen for the first time, and now you have sent each one in the king's house, so let each one speak of it......"

After saying this, Baochai picked up the teacup, pinched the lid of the cup and touched the surface of the tea, but his eyes did not look at the people below.

"Back to the mother, the slave Deng An, on the order of the prince, is in charge of the house book, meals, frames, and sprinkled and swept everywhere, but the mother is sent...... The slave must lay down his life to do it! ”

Deng An has always known that Zhu Jinghong likes Baochai, but this lord would rather disobey the emperor's will and marry Baochai back to the palace, which still shocked Deng An.

This also made him realize that even if he was Zhu Jinghong's most powerful and reliable eunuch, he must not let the princess feel a trace of dissatisfaction.

So at this moment, he showed his loyalty on the spot, focusing on a preemptive victory.

Hearing this, Baochai said with a smile: "Deng An...... You are a well-thought-out person, and I am relieved that you are in charge of all this place! ”

Then the next thing is the book, the meal, the frame, and the eunuchs who are in charge of the four places answered, these people are all Deng An's right-hand men.

Punishing Deng An depends on Zhu Jinghong's intentions, but dealing with these eunuchs, Baochai himself can be the master.

Therefore, these stewards and eunuchs were more humble than Deng An, and they also looked panicked when they answered.

After Deng An and his gang reported the situation, Zhang Ping'an and his gang followed, and then several female officials.

At this point, Baochai can be regarded as officially knowing these people.

"There are many affairs in the palace, and since you have the power to do so, you must be loyal to your duties in order to live up to the trust of the prince and me!"

"The prince has always had clear rewards and punishments, you have done your best, and the palace will definitely reward you!"

After finishing the good words, the scene heard a "pop", but it was Baochai who put the teacup on the coffee table, and the smile on his face had completely disappeared.

Everyone thought that the princess was easy to speak, but when their hearts were relaxed, they suddenly suffered this "change", and the sense of relaxation that had just risen suddenly disappeared, and they bent down at this moment to look more respectful.

"But if anyone dares to use power for personal gain, or do something behind his back, the prince and I will not spare it!" Baochai said in a cold tone.

The princess changed her face so quickly...... This is the sigh in the hearts of everyone present.

For the first time, they learned Baochai's methods, and how dare everyone despise this young princess, and they swore in their hearts that they would be more thoughtful.

"I understand everything!"

"Got it!" Everyone is right.

Nodding, Baochai said: "The affairs in the house are busy, let's disperse!" ”

"The minions (maids) are retired!"

After everyone left, Baochai was about to get up and enter the temple, but a maid trotted over.

"Princess Qiyu, the chief of the palace Shi Lai asked when the prince would return to the palace, and said that today's course cannot be wasted!"

Hearing this, Baochai was immediately happy, and secretly said that this long history was too dedicated, and he actually wanted to let his prince go to school honestly.

"You go and tell him, just say that the prince went to Shanglin Yuan, but I'm afraid that he will come back later, and today's class can only be moved to tomorrow!"

"Yes!"
