Zhu Jinghong couldn't have imagined that he was obsessed by Zheng Zhenqin again.

Today is Baochai's canonization day, but it basically has nothing to do with him, so at this moment he still came to Shanglin Yuan.

Today, the four guards of the North have been training together, and the various teams have changed their formations, and the muskets and artillery have cooperated with each other to fight, and have basically coordinated and formed combat effectiveness.

Judging from the results of today's exercise, if the North Fourth Guard is pulled to the current battlefield, it is definitely a very strong soldier who can fight.

"Yes, yes!"

"If this is pulled to the northwest and the Dzungar are not, I will be considered clean by them!"

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, all the generals present laughed, and they were all in a good mood.

"Thirteenth Master, you said it last time...... I want to ask the Lord to review the ministers, etc., but I don't know if this matter is still settled! ”

It was Jiang Qingsheng, the commander of the Yulin Left Guard, who spoke, and Zhu Jinghong said it to him about the military parade.

"What's going on...... It's not time yet! ”

Turning his head and looking at the generals of the North Fourth Guard behind him, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "After the year...... The vassal states will enter Beijing to see each other again, and it will be better to mention the matter of proofreading at that time! ”

Using the Northern Four Guards to deter vassal states can be regarded as making the best use of things, which is also in line with the emperor's pragmatic concept.

"That's great!"

"Exactly!"

After everyone complimented them, they invited Zhu Jinghong to go to the army, and Zhu Jinghong personally commended the phalanx that had performed well in the drill just now.

The so-called commendation is actually Zhu Jinghong's public praise.

But...... This is also a great honor for soldiers and junior officers.

In the military camp in the future, when he met colleagues, he could also boast that he had been praised by the Thirteenth Master.

When Zhu Jinghong finished commending everyone, it happened that the eunuchs from Kunning Palace came over and spread the news that the queen had summoned him.

So Zhu Jinghong could only say goodbye to the generals and rode to the direction of the palace.

Along the way, he wondered why his mother would call him when he had nothing to do with himself today.

When he entered the palace that day and came to the outside of Kunning Palace, today's internal and external women, including Baochai, had already left the palace.

Normally, Baochai has returned to the palace at this moment, and is preparing to congratulate the foreign wife in the afternoon, which also has nothing to do with Zhu Jinghong.

Only when the crown princess is congratulated, the prince is required to attend together.

Entering the Kunning Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were dismantling the honor guard, which was put out when it was canonized.

"Knock on Your Highness!"

Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs saluted one after another, and Zhu Jinghong rushed into the main hall of Kunning Palace, but found someone who made him feel embarrassed.

Looking at his son who was stunned at the door, Yang Qingyin smiled and asked, "What...... Don't know anyone anymore? ”

"This ...... When did Sister Ting come! Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile, and then walked into the house.

"Yesterday!" Yang Jingting said timidly.

"Oh...... It's hard to get a good rest along the way! Zhu Jinghong chatted awkwardly.

"Thank you Brother Thirteen for your concern!"

Listening to the conversation between the two children, Yang Qingyin couldn't help but interject: "What brother and sister, you have to be together in the future, don't be so angry!" ”

"Oh!" Zhu Jinghong responded.

Yang Qingyin then instructed: "In the past two days, you can take Ting Yatou over and press the honor guard of the side concubine to enter the mansion, I have already greeted the Shangyi Bureau!" ”

It is absolutely impossible to refuse Yang Jingting to enter the house, and Zhu Jinghong opened his heart when he figured this out.

"My son understands this, mother, you don't have to worry!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

Seeing him say this, Yang Qingyin finally felt a lot more relieved, she was afraid that her niece would go to the palace and be left out in the cold.

In fact, Zhu Jinghong's performance at the moment also surprised Yang Jingting, and the embarrassment just now seemed to disappear suddenly.

"That's good...... Talk, it's time for me to go to the Buddha Hall to meditate! ”

"Mother, go slowly!"

After sending the queen away, Zhu Jinghong came to Yang Jingting and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, my sister has lost a lot of weight!" ”

Yang Jingting smiled slightly and said, "The thirteenth brother has also changed, and now he is much calmer than he was at the beginning!" ”

Looking closer, Zhu Jinghong also had to admit that this girl was also first-class beautiful, but it was a pity that she came a little late.

Being scrutinized by Zhu Jinghong made Yang Jingting slightly happy, secretly saying that the thirteenth brother still likes himself, but he is just fascinated by Baochai.

"What's on my sister's hair?"

Zhu Jinghong stretched out his hand to take care of her, this abrupt move made Yang Jingting panic, and there were so many palace maids watching beside her.

But she didn't move after all, because the two of them were already close, and they will be even closer in the future.

While arranging Yang Jingting's hair, Zhu Jinghong said: "When we go to the palace in the future, let's live a good life and don't be burdened by foreign things...... Something unpleasant! ”

Yang Jingting is a very smart person, so she naturally understands what the so-called "foreign object" is, and this is also a thorn in her heart.

Obviously, the princess should be her, but it fell on Baochai's head, and now the other party has been canonized......

How can Yang Jingting deal with such a thing indifferently!

Feeling Yang Jingting's hesitation, Zhu Jinghong held her shoulders and said, "You know that I can't rub sand in my eyes, so it's good...... A bad is a bad one! ”

"Do you understand?"

After saying this, Yang Jingting didn't understand, so she could only nod sadly, and some thoughts were suppressed.

"That's right, living with Hemeimei is the right thing!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that if I go to the palace, the thirteenth brother will snub me!" Yang Jingting said with some grievances.

"How so...... Let's play together! ”

Just when Zhu Jinghong was about to appease Yang Jingting, he heard a voice behind him: "Thirteenth Master, you drink tea!" ”

Good guys, the atmosphere is ruined in an instant.

Yang Jingting looked at Zhen Qin who appeared with a tray with a gloomy face, and Zhu Jinghong also turned his head slowly.

"Qin girl, why did you only bring a cup, there are two of us!" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.

Two people? I'm not a palace maid who specializes in serving people, so why should I serve tea to others...... Zhen Qin was dissatisfied.

"That's all there is left for the tea!" Zhen Qin made up a reason at random.

Fool who does bad things for me...... Yang Jingting scolded angrily in her heart.

I saw Zhu Jinghong take the teacup, and handed it to Yang Jingting: "This cup of tea is still my sister to drink!" ”

Seeing that the tea she prepared was given to Yang Jingting, Zhen Qin could only hold back her grievances, but her perception of Yang Jingting dropped a lot.

"Then I'll make a pot of tea, Thirteen Masters later!"

Watching Zhen Qin turn around and leave, Zhu Jinghong laughed for a while, and finally turned back to Yang Jingting and said, "This girl is quite interesting!" ”

Yang Jingting then laughed and said, "If the thirteenth brother likes it, why don't you bring it into the palace together!" ”

"Haha...... Hahaha! ”

When Zhu Jinghong covered up his embarrassment with laughter, in the east hall of Kunning Palace, Zhu Yunsheng was complaining about Zhen Qin.

"As soon as the thirteenth brother came, she slipped away, who is she, I think it is better to give the queen mother and forget her in the Xiangwang Mansion!"

Hearing this, Daiyu Xiangyun glanced at each other, and showed a smile that understood everything.

If she gets into the palace, I'm afraid that Zhen Qin will wake up laughing when she dreams...... Daiyu thought.

Putting this matter aside, thinking that Yang Jingting was going to enter the palace, Daiyu became worried about Baochai again.

At this time, I only heard Zhu Yunsheng sigh with emotion: "It's better for you two, you are only with me, we are the best sisters!" ”

…………

Let's say that in the palace of King Xiang, a grand congratulatory ceremony is being held, and all the foreign women have come to congratulate the new princess.

The crown princess is congratulated on major festivals, but the princess only gets married this time, and the purpose is also to let the ladies of the capital know each other.

In the cold wind, all the foreign women were lined up in front of the carrying hall, carrying out various rituals of the court.

The ceremony lasted for half an hour, and everyone watched the princess leave, and the whole congratulatory ceremony ended.

Most of the wives of civil officials left one after another, while most of the wives of the nobles stayed outside the carrier hall and handed out their names to the inner mansion in the hope of meeting the princess.

Even if a group of people go, there are nearly 400 women of the third grade and above on the scene, and it is impossible for Baochai to see all of them, so it can only be a part of the seer.

And the first thing to see is the high-ranking clan members who came today, that is, the wives of a group of clan kings, Zhenguo generals, auxiliary generals, and auxiliary generals.

Of course, the county lord, county lord, county lord and county lord who have already married people also belong to the people whom Baochai has priority to see.

Even after sifting through them, there were more than 100 of these people, and Baochai summoned them in five batches.

When she summoned these people, Jia's mother also waited in the guest room with several members of the Jia family, and the wives of other nobles also waited.

Everyone chatted with acquaintances, and the most eye-catching of them was the princess of Beijing and the three concubines of Nan'an, Dongping and Xining.

The reason why the latter three are concubines is because their county princely titles have been demoted, and they have become the only concubines left in the family of ordinary princes to support the façade.

In other words, the only remaining county king with a different surname is the king of Beijing.

The four of them do not belong to the clan, and they can only wait with a group of nobles at the moment, and because of their high status, they have become the center of the crowd.

Most people will go up to say hello, and Jia Mu is naturally no exception.

If it was in the past, these people would just nod, but now that Yuanchun has become the crown princess, they are much more enthusiastic about Jia's mother, and they can't help but talk to each other a few more times.

At this time, Tanchun and Yingchun also followed, and the two of them were completely two extremes, one was looking forward to life and the other was dull.

When Mother Jia introduced Tanchun, Princess Beijing leaned in, took her hand and said, "How old is this year?" ”

"Twelve!" Tanchun replied.

Hearing her age, Princess Beijing was surprised, only that she was too calm.

Then Princess Beijing asked her about her knowledge again, and Tanchun also answered properly one by one, causing everyone to nod.

As for the cowering Yingchun, everyone was not interested in asking only two words, and she herself was happy to be pure.

Seeing that Tanchun attracted everyone's appreciation, Jia Mu only felt that this trip was worthwhile, and her heart even more raised the meaning of Tanchun.

The Jia family is flourishing, and the key to supporting this big family is to strengthen the branches.

Marriage with high-ranking nobles is one of the means to strengthen the family, and Tanchun can be used as a marriage.

Jia Mu talked and laughed with everyone, and Wang Xing, who came with her, was talking to other acquaintances.

About two quarters of an hour later, several princesses and concubines were invited away, followed by several wives of the princes of the country, and several marquises, including the Shi family.

is also the Duchess of the country, but she was not summoned, which made Jia's mother extremely uncomfortable, but she still had to maintain a calm appearance.

"Old lady, the princess has specially ordered the slave maid to come to pass the word, please wait for a few of you in the inner hall!"

It was Ying'er who came to pass the word, and Mother Jia still had some impressions of her, and when she saw that she came to pass the word, she knew that the princess was going to summon her family alone.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu's mood instantly improved a lot, so she led Ying'er and a few people to leave together.

After passing through the gate of the courtyard, they were taken to the east side of the Tongxin Palace, and it was Aunt Xue who greeted them.

Because Jia Zheng is now from the fifth rank of official position, it stands to reason that Mrs. Wang is not qualified to enter the palace, and today she saw that her sister was already a third-grade lady, and Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable.

"Old lady, please inside!" Aunt Xue smiled.

"Mrs. Aunt has always been good?" Jia Mu asked with a smile.

"Thanks to the old lady Hongfu, everything is ......"

When everyone entered the house, they chatted cordially, mainly with Mother Jia and Aunt Xue.

And Mrs. Wang, as her own sister, said less than Mrs. Xing, which shows that the two sisters have some estrangement after all.

Aunt Xue is indeed still vividly remembered by her sister in Rongguo Mansion that day, and every time she thinks about it, it makes her feel sick in her heart.

At this moment, Jia Mu was keenly aware of it, so she sighed unconsciously in her heart.

Even Aunt Xue has such a mentality, can she be relieved as the princess?

Everyone had different thoughts and chatted for half an hour, and only then did the maid outside come to summon them.

After tidying up their appearance, the Jia family left with the maid, and after a few breaths, they came to stand outside the Tongxin Palace.

"Everyone, please come in!"

Under the guidance of the maid, Jia Mu led everyone into the Tongxin Hall, and at this moment Baochai was sitting on the phoenix seat in Yanju crown clothes.

"Knock on the princess!"

Standing up from the phoenix seat, Baochai personally helped Jia's mother up: "Old lady, please get up!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

Immediately, Baochai looked at Mrs. Wang again and said, "Auntie, please get up too!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

Immediately afterwards, Baochai came to Tanchun and the two, and after helping the two of them, he smiled and said to Tanchun: "Tanya, I haven't seen you for a long time...... Grow taller again! ”

At this moment, in Tanchun's eyes, Baochai can be described as radiant, and it is the benchmark she strives for.

Tanchun replied: "The sisters have always remembered Niangniang, and now that they see Niangniang's health and look forward to Shenfei, the foolish sisters can also rest assured!" ”

Hearing this, Baochai smiled even more, looked around and said, "Look at it, this is a part...... Now for me, the girl also said these face-saving words! ”

Everyone present laughed, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

Cutting Tanchun's hair in his ears, Baochai continued: "From last year to today, I have been very busy, and the sisters have seen little...... Now it's all divided! ”

At this time, Tanchun said: "Where is Niangniang, today I see Niangniang but she is still very cordial, just like when we read and write together!" ”

To be honest, Baochai has not lived in Jia's house for a long time, and it is completely empty to say how deep the relationship she and Tanchun really have.

But this did not prevent Tanchun from saying this well, so that everyone present laughed.

Baochai was also laughing at the moment, thinking of reassuring the prince's family, she continued: "I don't know each other well in the capital, and in the future, the sisters should be closer to each other, and it will be interesting to talk and write together!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Mu immediately interjected: "This is the grace that Niangniang gave you, why don't you hurry up and thank Niangniang?" ”

Although the Jia family has a crown princess, the prince's family lives in the imperial city and is not suitable as a place for socializing, so it is difficult to bring benefits to the Jia family.

But in Xiangwang's Mansion, it is different, it is foreseeable that in the coming days, there will be nobles from time to time to come to visit, which is a good place for the Jia family to "sell" their daughter.

Although this is very utilitarian, if you marry a good family in the spring and welcome the spring, it will be of great benefit to the Jia family.

"Thank you, Niang!"

The two wanted to kowtow again, but they were held by Baochai and failed to make the trip.

"Why be so polite, if you really want to put it on the table, you will really be divided!"

After saying this, Baochai looked at Mrs. Wang with a light smile on her face, and asked softly, "Aunt has always been good?" ”

This sudden greeting made Mrs. Wang not react for a while, and she was stunned for two seconds before she bent down and replied: "Everything is fine, everything is fine...... Thank you for your concern! ”
