November 13, the wind and snow gradually stopped, the sun was shining, and it was a good day to travel.

It has always been a great event for the emperor and queen to travel, and there are at least tens of thousands of honor guards before and after.

But today, when Zhu Xianming and his family left the palace, they were extremely low-key and restrained, in addition to hundreds of guards accompanying them, they only let the Imperial City Yiwei Division send additional people to escort them along the way.

In fact, both Xiyuan and Shanglin Yuan are royal forbidden places, which are already under the protection of the regiments, and there is basically no security problem.

When the emperor and his wife approached, Zhu Jinghong, who had not received the information, was squatting on the ridge to check the wheat seedlings at the moment.

Behind him followed Zhu Jingchun and the others, there was a lot less work today, and they finally had a few days of easy life.

"Brother Thirteen, I think there will be a bumper harvest next year!" Zhu Jingchun's face was full of hope.

Although the work is very tiring, after all, it was planted by himself, and Zhu Jingchun naturally hopes to get a bumper harvest.

Who knew that Zhu Jinghao suddenly said: "Why are there so many people over there?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong looked back, and sure enough, he saw a large number of people coming in the distance.

There is no way, even if the emperor wants to be light and simple, but the pomp and circumstance that should be there cannot be cut too much, and there are dozens or hundreds of people in front and back.

"Could it be that the fourth brother and the sixth brother are here again?" Zhu Jinghong muttered.

As soon as they heard this, Zhu Jingchun and the others were immediately overjoyed, and they thought of the good things they ate when they came last time.

"Brother Thirteen, why don't we go back first!" Zhu Jinghao proposed.

"Go back to a fart? Get this place clean! ”

"And this ditch is digging straighter......"

As a qualified supervisor (prison bully), Zhu Jinghong attaches great importance to the progress of the project, especially the existence of a person who "eats empty salary".

Let's say that on the thatched hut, when the emperor and queen suddenly visited, Baochai was suddenly at a loss, and he looked a little clumsy between the salutes.

There is no way, it is the emperor and the queen who came, and these two still have opinions about her, how can they not make Baochai feel particularly uneasy.

Fortunately, the queen was extraordinarily friendly, and after letting Baochai be exempted, she pulled Baochai to speak, and the two formed a picture scroll of a bosom mother-in-law and a filial daughter-in-law.

"During this time, I cook by myself...... How do you feel? Yang Qingyin asked with a smile.

Baochai replied: "After returning to my mother, these days my daughter-in-law and the prince have done everything themselves, so I know that it is not easy for ordinary people, and I know that it is precious for husband and wife to be of the same heart!" ”

If you just know that life is not easy, then this answer is really ordinary, and from it you understand the importance of husband and wife supporting each other, it makes the answer profound and appropriate enough.

And this also shows from the side that she Xue Baochai is a qualified wife.

I only heard Baochai continue: "If you don't hide it from your mother, if it weren't for the prince's care, she would hold up this piece of heaven for her daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law really doesn't know how to get by! ”

Obviously, she understands a truth, no matter how well her daughter-in-law does, she is not as good as her own son in the hearts of her in-laws.

Then at this time, it will be easier to score more praise for Zhu Jinghong.

The truth is also as Baochai expected, after hearing her words, the queen smiled, as for the emperor, although he didn't speak from beginning to end, at least his face looked better now.

"Why don't you see the old thirteen?" Zhu Xianming asked.

"Back to my father, the prince went to the field and took the two brothers with him!"

"Where?" Zhu Xianming asked.

"Over there!" Bao Chai pointed into the distance.

Looking at the queen, Zhu Xianming said, "I'll go over and take a look!" ”

"Your Majesty can do it yourself!" Yang Qingyin replied with a smile.

The emperor led the guards away, while Yang Qingyin and Baochai continued to talk.

Maybe it's because Baochai is really smart, or maybe it's because of Zhu Jinghong, at this moment, Yang Qingyin actually feels that Baochai is her most pleasing daughter-in-law.

The two were talking, and Zhu Yunsheng, who came with him, visited the area and inside the thatched hut, which was the first time they entered and exited the "civilian home".

Such a reckless environment, such a dilapidated dwelling, such a shabby furnishings......

"Can this really live?" Zhu Yunsheng stopped and asked a few people with him.

Whether it is Daiyu or Xiangyun, or Zhen Qin, who is closest to Zhu Yunsheng, who has ever lived in such an environment, they have the same idea as Zhu Yunsheng at this moment.

"Sister Bao, I really don't know how she came here these days!" Daiyu couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of the grievances suffered by Baochai during this time, she seemed to feel the same way, so that tears appeared in her eyes.

"In the past, I thought that embroidery or something was difficult enough, and it was just a matter of needlework!"

Xiangyun said with emotion: "Compared to pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, I want to come now...... Embroidery couldn't be easier! ”

"Princess...... Let's go inside the room and see! ”

"Hmm!"

Compared with the palace, the thatched hut is small in the first place, and the four of them only feel depressed when they enter.

Fortunately, Baochai was cleaned up and tidy, which made Zhu Yunsheng and the others feel much better, but they still felt that it was difficult to get down here.

Zhu Yunsheng was visiting here, and the queen in the courtyard was already seated, talking with Baochai.

"Mother, please use tea!"

The palace maid brought hot tea, but the queen waved her hand to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qingyin looked at Baochai and said: "It is said that the bride serves her in-laws, and since you are doing this by yourself, then today...... Come and make me a bowl of tea! ”

Hearing this, Baochai was slightly embarrassed and said, "Queen Mother...... Daughter-in-law's side...... There is no such thing as good tea! ”

"It's okay to drink plain water!"

"How dare a daughter-in-law dare to neglect her mother like this!"

But I saw Yang Qingyin smile and said, "If you don't go, won't you snub me?" ”

"Daughter-in-law doesn't dare!"

At this time, the female official on the side answered: "The princess doesn't have to worry, the slaves and maids have brought tea!" ”

The people present are not stupid, and they will not really let the queen drink white water.

So Baochai could only say goodbye, and then went to the thatched hut, and at this moment Zhu Yunsheng and a few people were inside.

"Thirteenth sister-in-law, how do you live here?" Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but ask.

Taking the tea from the female official, Baochai poured water while mixing tea, and said with a smile: "This is already a lot better than ordinary people's homes, like the third sister said...... Could it be that so many people in the world can't live? ”

"Having said that......" Zhu Yunsheng muttered, but did not continue.

"Sister Bao, you live here with the Thirteenth Master, doing laundry and cooking every day...... It's hard work! Daiyu interjected and asked.

Baochai replied: "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan...... This poem is often on the lips of the prince, he doesn't feel bitter when he works every day, how can I say bitter! ”

At this time, Xiangyun stepped forward, leaned on Daiyu's shoulder and looked at Baochai, and asked, "Sister Bao, you are here when you get married, is the Thirteenth Master good to you?" ”

Although Xiangyun is two years younger, she is also an extremely intelligent woman.

She knew that Zhu Jinghong and the others were "driven here" because Baochai was disliked by the emperor, so he was worried that Zhu Jinghong would be angry with Baochai because of this.

It's very unlikely, but it's not impossible.

However, without waiting for Baochai to answer, Zhen Qin on the side immediately spoke: "Yun girl, don't talk nonsense...... How could the Thirteenth Master be such a person! ”

Zhen Qin knows what Zhu Jinghong thinks, Baochai knows everything about it, and she was the first to come out to defend herself at this moment, but she was not surprised.

I saw Zhen Qin looking around at everyone, her expression showed a little smugness, and today she was the first to defend Zhu Jinghong.

To be honest, in front of Baochai, the princess, it is not Zhen Qin's turn to say these words, she is actually doing stupid things by doing this.

Fortunately, Baochai is open-minded, and she is not an outsider present, otherwise she would have to punish Zhen Qin in order to maintain the prestige of her princess.

When the situation at the scene was embarrassing, Zhu Yunsheng immediately opened his mouth to change the topic: "Sister-in-law...... The tea has been brewed, so let's quickly forward to the queen mother! ”

"Look at me...... I forgot about the big thing when I said this! ”

When he blamed himself, Baochai went out with tea, and Zhu Yunsheng also went with him.

"Sister Qin, you defend the Thirteenth Master like this, don't you care about the princess's face?"

Xiangyun and Zhen Qin have a good relationship, so they took the initiative to remind them at this moment.

"If I defend the Thirteenth Master, will I lose the face of the princess?" Zhen Qin asked rhetorically.

Daiyu continued: "Sister Qin, the husband and wife are of the same heart, and you are rushing to maintain it, doesn't it seem that the princess is not as good as you?" ”

Isn't this exactly what I want, I just want the Thirteenth Master to know that I am the most defended person in the whole world, and I am the one he is satisfied with as the princess......

Although she thought so in her heart, Zhen Qin was also a person with "scheming", so she said: "I didn't mean that, don't wronged me!" ”

Inside, several daughters are bickering, and outside, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking.

And the emperor, who had rushed to the wheat field, had already come to the direction of the grove and looked at the three people who were busy in the field.

Two people were busy hoeing and digging ditches, and one was busy walking and walking.

In fact, at this moment, Zhu Jinghong is not only taking a walk, but seriously thinking about the current situation and thinking about how to get out of trouble as soon as possible.

There was chaos in the northwest, but the old man showed no signs of mobilizing the North Fourth Guard, which made him a little panicked.

But when he thought about it, he also felt that this was a very normal thing.

After all, the North Fourth Guard has only been trained for a year, and although it has barely had the ability to cooperate in combat, to be honest, there is still great room for improvement.

The North Fourth Guard is the façade of the military system innovation, and if he is not 100 percent sure, Zhu Xianming will definitely not use it.

"You two idiots, this is the ditch you dug? Where are your eyes looking? ”

"Straight, straight...... You pig brains, you can't even dig a ditch straight? Zhu Jinghong scolded loudly.

"Uh-huh......"

Zhu Xianming coughed, and at this time he had let the guards stay where they were, so they could approach quietly.

Let's say that Zhu Jinghong heard the familiar coughing sound, and his voice stopped abruptly when he was roaring, and his body was a little stiff and turned around.

On the contrary, Zhu Jingchun and the others reacted faster, turned around and knelt down with the hoe in their hands, and then kowtowed directly.

"Sons knock on their father, long live, long live, long live!"

"Knock on my father!" Zhu Jinghong slowed down for half a beat, and also knelt on the ground.

Rolling up his sleeves, Zhu Xianming went down to the ground, reached out and picked up one of the hoes, and then dug a few times in the ground.

In the end, he clapped his hands, then straightened up and came to Zhu Jinghong, and said, "Old Thirteen, you are majestic......

"It's good for you to farm...... started to be a shopkeeper and let your brother work, you are doing this brother? ”

"Daddy...... Listen to me! ”

"Explain the fart, how come I have a bastard son like you!" Zhu Xianming scolded.

When he met courtiers, foreign officials and envoys, he was always moody, and only when he met Zhu Jinghong did he repeatedly "break the defense".

"Dad, my son is also to train them, these two have been clothed and fed since childhood, and they don't know the hardships of the people......"

"They should work, should you rest?" Zhu Xianming immediately questioned.

"You didn't see it when I was working, but my son only rested for a while, and it just so happened that you came!"

"Don't believe it...... Don't believe it, ask the two of them! ”

"Hmph...... Is it? What do you say about the three of you with only two hoes? ”

"This ......"

Looking back, Zhu Jinghong scolded: "Fourteenth brother, what's the matter? ”

This sudden change made Zhu Jingchun look confused.

"Old Thirteen, you are lazy to let you farm, and now you dare to quibble......"

Next, Zhu Jinghong was reprimanded, but Zhu Jingchun and the two had nothing to do, they just needed to kneel honestly.

After a while, Zhu Xianming felt a little less angry, and only then did he let Zhu Jinghong and the three of them get up.

"You are arrogant and stubborn on weekdays, and you have worked and lived here for a long time, how do you feel?" Zhu Xianming asked calmly.

"Huh?"

Since Zhu Jinghong didn't speak, Zhu Jingchun had no choice but to speak, explaining very clearly how to "change his mind and face", and he was emphasizing that he was sensible and could go back to the palace to study.

After Zhu Jingchun and the others finished speaking, Zhu Xianming finally stopped and turned to look at Zhu Jinghong.

"Old Thirteen, you don't have anything to say?"

"My son has only one feeling, and that is uncomfortable!" Zhu Jinghong expressed his heart very bluntly.

Zhu Xianming asked calmly: "Uncomfortable?" The common people in the whole world, which one doesn't live like this...... Why do you feel uncomfortable alone? ”

"Ordinary people farm for life, I farm ......"

"What's wrong with your farming?" Zhu Xianming's face was cold.

"I was forced here by you, obviously my son is the material to be a general, you have to let me come to Shanglin Yuan to farm, isn't this ...... Do you burn the harp and boil the crane? ”

When saying this, Zhu Jinghong behaved very naturally, no different from the rash and reckless in the past, and the focus of his expression was the three words "general".

He had already told Zhu Jingyuan euphemistically before, and this time he had to tell the emperor in person, in order to get enough "preventive vaccinations" in advance.

"Burning the harp and boiling the crane...... With your knowledge, you also want to be a general? Zhu Xianming sneered.

"You can't be a general, it's always okay to be a little general, although my son is stupid...... But there is also some ambition to serve the country! ”

"It's a waste of my youth in this place, it's killing me...... Father! ”

Seeing that this kid was about to stage a bitter drama, Zhu Xianming was about to interrupt, but he heard Zhu Jinghong continue: "The beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans, and you ...... father."

"Enough...... My ears are calloused when I hear this, according to your heart, you are a beloved son, and if you go against your will, you will kill you? Zhu Xianming asked with a cold face.

Hearing the emperor say these words in person, Zhu Jinghong himself felt that it was okay, but he scared Zhu Jingchun and the others who were standing behind him with their heads bowed.

Even the crown prince and the sixth brother don't dare to talk to their father like this...... Zhu Jingchun and the others thought secretly.

"Daddy...,... The son is just a metaphor! Zhu Jinghong appropriately confessed.

"Metaphor? You have a lot of grievances here, and you think I don't know? ”

"Slander, someone is definitely slandering me, Dad, who do you say is the secret? The son went to reason with him personally! ”

Walking to the ground, Zhu Xianming squatted down to peel off the snow, saw the crisp wheat seedlings below, and beckoned behind him.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Jinghong could only come to the old man's side, squatted down and waited for the old man's instructions.

Zhu Jinghong originally thought that the old man was going to say how well he planted the wheat, but as the other party looked at him very solemnly, he lowered his voice and said, "Boy, I'll give you one last chance, as long as you give up the Xue family's girl...... I'll get you out of here right away, and do whatever you want from now on! ”

Is this the old man's temptation? Or did he really think so? Zhu Jinghong couldn't get it for a while.

However, his answer is undoubted, if he gives up Baochai at this time, his previous efforts will be in vain, and his hard-working personality will collapse.

Dad, my thirteen-year-old character can't collapse until the end......

"Daddy...... What do you think of your son? Zhu Jinghong asked rhetorically.

"For what benefit, you can even abandon your mother?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xianming's face changed in anger, and he immediately got up and scolded: "Bastard! ”

Although it was Zhu Jinghong who was scolded, Zhu Jingchun and the others, who didn't know the situation, were also so frightened that they bent over at this moment.

Who knew that Zhu Jinghong hooked his waist and replied: "Dad, it is said that the tiger father has no dog, you don't want to ...... My son is an eggless! ”

"Then you should be a hero who farms!"

After saying that, Zhu Xianming turned around and left, making Zhu Jinghong stunned in place, and the situation made him a little unexpected.

The emperor left with his guards, but Zhu Jingchun and the others did not follow, because they were also frightened, so naturally they had to hide away if they could.

Zhu Jinghong really didn't think about the quasi-emperor, for example, on Zhu Xianming's face at this moment, the anger just now had disappeared, and there was even an invisible smile on his face.

Zhu Xianming generally understands what happened here in the past two months.

From beginning to end, Zhu Xianming was clear about Baochai's words and deeds, and his excellent performance also reversed his opinion.

So much so that Zhu Xianming had to admit that this child was not only sensible, but also honest, filial, and erudite......

There are too many advantages, and it is no wonder that the queen and the old thirteen like it...... Zhu Xianming thought so.

Obviously, Baochai has passed his test, and the sentence he asked Zhu Jinghong just now was actually a test for his own son.

If this kid really abandoned such a good girl in order to live a good life, Zhu Xianming would not agree to anything.

And the shortcoming of Baochai's "young and sluggish" has now been completely covered up by its advantages, at least Zhu Xianming has not much mustard in his heart.

The younger son likes it, although it is not very compliant, but it is just one example, Zhu Xianming feels that he can open the net.

After all...... It's my own son!

But he led the guards there, and the queen was still sitting in the courtyard, but a windproof curtain had been enclosed around her, and a charcoal stove had been placed around the queen's seat.

In this way, even outside the house, Yang Qingyin can't blow the wind.

However, Zhu Xianming was about to enter the courtyard, but saw Zhu Yunsheng and a few people walking out.

"Dad, we're going around here!" Zhu Yunsheng was the first to speak.

"Hmm...... Be careful! ”

"Dad, don't worry!" Zhu Yunsheng was overjoyed, she rarely had a time to let herself go.

Several girls went happily, and Zhu Xianming also entered the courtyard, and everyone in the venue bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please be seated!"

looked left and right, and saw that the room was neatly cleaned up, so Zhu Xianming sat on the chair on the side.
