So she hurriedly followed, stopped Zhen Qin and retired the maid, and asked about the affairs in the palace with a stern expression.

According to Zhu Jinghong's instructions, Zhen Qin held back tears and explained the situation, saying that he was used by Zhu Jinghong.

And the reason why Zhu Jinghong would do such a ridiculous thing, Zhen Qin bluntly said that he should have fun in time, and drunk life and dream of death every day is what the royal concubine should do.

Every word here is what Zhu Jinghong wants to say to the queen, and she is so frightened that her body is trembling, and she doesn't know how to convey these words to the queen.

But she had to say these words again, and she had to say them herself.

"You remember...... Externally, he said that he had fallen and injured himself, and I will send you back to the palace immediately! ”

"Huh? Oh......" Zhen Qin was still a little confused at the moment, she realized that things might not be simple.

But she wasn't scared at all, because Zhu Jinghong had already said just now that she would be allowed to enter the palace next.

Under the arrangement of this female official, Zhen Qin, who was injured in a fall, was taken out of the palace, and Baochai, who learned the news, was particularly surprised.

So she immediately sent someone to ask, and finally under her coercion, the eunuch of the Yin'an Palace told the truth.

Knowing the situation, Baochai said in her heart that she had no opinion, of course, it was false, after all, it was too unruly, and it was also unfair to Zhen Qin.

Of course, neither of these things is important, the only thing that matters is that it can't get out of the way.

So she personally went to the Yin'an Palace, summoned all the eunuchs on duty to give a lecture, and asked them to rot today's affairs in their stomachs, and anyone who dared to spread the word would be killed immediately.

These words can only be said by her, after all, Zhu Jinghong is now rotten, how can he say these "positive" words.

After giving these orders, Baochai went to the dormitory, and looked at his man quite complainingly, and at this moment Zhu Jinghong was still lying on the bed drinking.

"Did you have this plan for a long time, or did you make it on the fly?"

Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile: "It's all here, how can I let her run for nothing!" ”

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Baochai sneered: "I think I have already had this heart, after all, we have known each other in Jinling, you have a life-saving grace for her, and the relationship may be so good!" ”

Zhu Jinghong sat up and wanted to take Baochai into his arms, but the latter avoided it with great disgust.

After smiling awkwardly, Zhu Jinghong replied: "No matter how good it is, can we be good?" ”

While they were talking, Zhen Qin had already been sent to the palace, and the female official had already explained the situation to the queen.

Sitting in front of the Buddha, Yang Qingyin was so angry that she even threw away the scriptures, which shows how angry she was at this time.

"Can this be hidden?"

Even at this time, Yang Qingyin also cared about his son's reputation, and the first thing he asked was whether the news could be hidden.

The female official replied: "Only the eunuchs on duty in the Yin'an Palace, and the people who returned to the palace with the slaves and maids know that they will not spread the word!" ”

Feeling a little relieved, Yang Qingyin continued: "Go...... Let...... Let Princess Xiang enter the palace! ”

She originally wanted to call Zhu Jinghong, but she was worried that this little bastard would be entangled, so she simply called Baochai to question.

is reluctant to be angry with his son, but it is still okay to discipline his daughter-in-law.

Of course, the queen will arrange it this way because Zhu Jinghong's mistake is not big enough.

Compared with other kings, Zhu Jinghong can be regarded as clean, but now he has just done some bad things by chance, and in the eyes of the queen, he is still a good boy in essence.

"Yes!" The female officer went down to deliver the message.

Half an hour later, Baochai, who received the news, suddenly looked ugly.

"See, you did something bad, but the queen mother came to me......" Baochai couldn't help but complain.

"Baochai...... On that day, you have to choose the princess yourself, how can the princess's phoenix crown be so easy to wear! ”

Hearing this, Baochai glanced at him and said, "What...... With a new person today, just say these words? ”

"If you want to change people, take away the life woman's robe and phoenix crown, as well as the golden book and golden seal, and give it to your sweetheart!"

"Hey...... Aren't you my sweetheart, since the queen mother summoned you, go quickly, I'm going to sleep! ”

After that, Zhu Jinghong lay back down, covered with a quilt and stopped talking.

Sighing helplessly, Baochai got up and said, "Marry you...... Don't expect a peaceful birthday! ”

Although having said that, Baochai has no complaints in her heart, and being able to help Zhu Jinghong is also a kind of happiness for her.

After a brief tidying up, Baochai rushed to the palace by car, and after another half an hour, she entered Kunning Palace.

Kneeling in front of the queen, after the queen asked, Baochai stated Zhu Jinghong's recent situation.

"Now he goes home every day, sometimes he is in a good mood, and when he is unhappy, he smashes things......"

"Now I don't practice martial arts and archery, I drink heavily until late at night every day, and sometimes cry and shout in the middle of the night......"

"Say that this life is ruined in the royal family, and that if it is in the family of ordinary people, parents will plan for the long-term ...... their children"

"The daughter-in-law also persuaded him, but instead of listening, he scolded his daughter-in-law several times......"

"Today's incident, it's all because the daughter-in-law failed to take care of it thoroughly, so she missed the Qin girl's life, and the daughter-in-law is willing to receive the punishment......"

From beginning to end, Baochai is flat and straightforward, but it is deeply touching and difficult to criticize.

"You girl, you're really confused......" The queen still taught her a lesson.

"I told you, you have to show the bearing of a princess, you must not be intimidated by him, what if you are scolded by him? Could it be that he still dares to hit you? ”

"The queen mother's lesson is that the daughter-in-law is indeed at fault!"

Looking at Baochai who was sad and crying, Yang Qingyin didn't want to blame her more.

"It's okay, princess, crying and crying, what kind of system!"

After Baochai finished speaking, Yang Qingyin asked, "What do you think should be done about the Qin girl?" ”

"This ...... The daughter-in-law doesn't dare to say anything! ”

"If you want to say it, you can say it, now is not the time to be polite!" The queen was unhappy.

"The daughter-in-law thinks that since the prince has neglected her, she has to have an explanation for others!"

"It's better to ...... It's better to send it to the palace, and say that it is the grace of the queen mother, so that others can't say anything! ”

It is normal for the queen to reward her son with a woman, and this kind of treatment can really solve the problem, and Baochai and her mother-in-law have thought of a place.

"What position is it good for?" Yang Qingyin asked again.

Of course, the side concubines can't be given casually, and there are still attendants and concubines below.

Since it is the grace of the queen mother, the daughter-in-law thinks that it is ...... It's better to be named a waiter! Baochai replied.

Every word of Baochai speaks to the queen's heart, and it is indeed very rare to have this ability.

"Just do as you say, the Qin girl has been injured in the past few days, so she will be sent back to Ningshou Palace to rest first, and then talk about entering the palace when she recovers!"

Zhen Qin's aunt and grandmother are in Ningshou Palace, and it is very suitable to send her to hide, which is much more hidden than staying in Kunning Palace.

"Tomorrow is the seventeenth birthday of Lao Thirteen, you have to organize a celebration for him, and make him a little happier!"

"You have to make it clear to him that not letting him go to the northwest is for his own good, and this is for his long-term planning!"

"Yes!" Baochai replied.

Next, the queen mentioned Baochai again, and delayed for a while before letting her go.

Out of Kunning Palace, Baochai's mood became a little gloomy, she didn't expect the queen to be so determined, and there was no intention of giving in to this situation now.

It seems that there is only one way to go...... Baochai said in his heart.

In addition to Zhen Qin's unexpected situation, Baochai, as Zhu Jinghong's staff officer, helped Zhu Jinghong improve the plan.

Originally, she was very confident in this plan, but after today's events, her confidence has slipped a lot.

"Let's take one step at a time!"

………………

On March 15 of the twelfth year of Orthodoxy, the weather was just right.

Under the urging of Baochai, Zhu Jinghong got up early in the morning, changed into the prince's robe and entered the palace, and today they have to go to see the emperor on this special day.

Even though the emperor was very busy today, he still took time to go to Kunning Palace in the morning and accepted their worship with the empress.

Today, Zhu Jinghong didn't behave too decadently, but the whole person looked dull and godless, and he didn't say much from beginning to end, and he was like a normal person.

In such a situation, it can be said that Zhu Jinghong is throwing face at the emperor, and others will never dare to act like this, even the crown prince and King Rui.

However, nothing happened to Zhu Jinghong, on the contrary, the emperor and queen also comforted him, hoping that he would be obedient and a good boy.

Zhu Jinghong did not say anything about this, and Baochai was playing a round on the side.

There are a lot of royal rules, and Zhu Jinghong delayed in the palace for nearly two hours before returning to Xiangwangfu with a large number of gifts.

"You've really figured it out?"

Baochai in the carriage was worried, but what she was going to do next was too deviant, so she was extremely worried.

Glancing at Baochai, Zhu Jinghong said firmly: "The matter has come to this point, if I retreat, I can only be decadent to death!" ”

"Alas...... It's just that I'm really uneasy, what if I annoy my father and queen mother because of this, and I will be grounded or even deposed? Baochai looked worried.

It's not that she is reluctant to be rich, but in this way, Zhu Jinghong will never have a bright future, and she is even more helpless than the so-called decadent death.

Zhu Jinghong smiled calmly: "If that's the case...... Then I'll be a free prince, so you don't have to be afraid! ”

"You're so big-hearted!"

Baochai said so on his lips, but in his heart he admired Zhu Jinghong's firmness and fearlessness, which can be called a hero more than the so-called martial arts.

So at this time, Baochai's eyes were also full of reverence for Zhu Jinghong.

The carriage returned to the palace, and at this time there were many people who came to congratulate him, and Wang Pei'an, the chief historian of the palace, was greeting him.

The eunuchs of the royal palace were not idle, they arranged tables and chairs in front of the carrying hall, and they were going to feast here today.

The place in front of the carrier hall is spacious, and there are twenty tables on the left and right, and at this moment, people have come to sit down one after another, and they are talking with each other.

Although the attendees were the young people of the noble families, many of them had real positions, and they could still talk to each other.

Around noon, Zhu Jinghong appeared in dark blue clothes, but his seemingly innocent face made everyone speculate that he might not be very happy.

In fact, it was only at the top of the scene that I knew what Zhu Jinghong wanted to do recently.

It's just that in these cases, insiders will not talk nonsense and cause trouble for themselves, so many people don't know the inside story.

After a courtesy banquet, Zhu Jinghong just appeared in a hurry, said a few polite words and left, and handed over the scene to Wang Pei'an to organize.

Regarding Zhu Jinghong's recent changes, Wang Pei'an is anxious in his eyes, and he has done a lot of things to change for this.

All kinds of ancient and modern allusions, all kinds of life philosophies......

Wang Pei'an chatted with Zhu Jinghong several times, but the effect was equal to nothing, but he was asked twice and was speechless.

"Alas...... Now that the Ming Dynasty is chaotic enough, isn't it good to enjoy peace in peace? Looking at the back of Zhu Jinghong leaving, Wang Pei'an sighed again.

From studying to being an official to the present, there are few things that can make Wang Pei'an feel frustrated, but today Zhu Jinghong made him feel it.

No matter how decent he is, no matter how strict his demands are, no matter how passionate he is about teaching...... can't change Zhu Jinghong's temperament.

Although Zhu Jinghong himself left, the guests still ate and drank happily, and no one took a stand in advance, and did not leave until Wang Pei'an greeted them.

In addition to entertaining the guests of Daohe, there is also a family banquet in Xiangwang's Mansion tonight, and Zhu Jinghong invites his brothers and sisters, which can be regarded as a custom.

Of course, it was only for his siblings, and the more distant clans were not invited, even if they had already sent congratulatory gifts.

Soon two hours passed, and the crown prince and King Rui arrived at the mansion respectively, and according to the etiquette system, Zhu Jinghong should go out to greet him.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong went to greet him, but his smell of wine really smoked his two brothers.

In addition to these two brothers-in-law, his brothers also arrived one after another, including Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun, who farmed in Shanglin Yuan.

Since it is a family banquet, it is relatively casual, so the banquet is set in the back garden of the palace, which is in the tower by the small lake.

Everyone sat down one after another, and the prince and his wife sat in the center, followed by Zhu Jinghong and Rui Wang.

"Thirteenth brother, let's drink a few less!" Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but speak.

From the moment they sat down to the present, before they could say a few words, Zhu Jinghong had already drunk seven or eight cups.

"Fourth brother, there is wine tonight, why are you drunk tonight......"

After replying to this sentence, Zhu Jinghong drank it to himself again, and the others didn't know how to speak, after all, he didn't even give the prince face.

At this time, Baochai persuaded on the side: "Fourth brother let you drink less, today is your birthday, everyone is here to congratulate you, you have to thank all brothers!" ”

But I saw Zhu Jinghong lifting the jar, his steps were vain and staggered to the middle, and he turned around with the wine jar, and then said: "Brothers, thank you!" ”

With that, he lifted the jar and poured it into his mouth, and the scene looked extremely pompous, which shocked everyone present.

Zhu Jingyuan was watching the excitement, but was poked by Chen Zhi on the side, so he immediately got up.

"Thirteenth brother, what are you doing!"

When he came closer, Zhu Jingyuan was about to take away his wine jar, but he was pushed aside by Zhu Jinghong, and he almost fell down without standing firmly.

"Sixth brother, just let me drink it...... I'm just a waste, why bother with me! ”

"Drink to death...... That's it! ”

At this time, Zhu Jingyuan also took out his brother's posture, and after standing firm, he scolded angrily: "Thirteenth brother, what nonsense are you talking about, who dares to say that you are a waster?" ”

Zhu Jinghong immediately asked: "I wait for the royal bloodline, do nothing and wait for death, what can it be if it is not waste?" ”

The crown prince and King Rui both knew very well why Zhu Jinghong became like this, but because they took into account the face of their mother, it was difficult for them to directly persuade them at this time.

As for the other county kings present, they have completely become a background board at this moment, and they don't dare or want to get involved in this matter at all, so they can only listen to the left ear and the right ear with a worried face.

"I'm a person with no ambitions, I just want to do something I like, but I'm always restrained and controlled by my mother, and I can't even achieve this little wish......"

"Fourth brother and sixth brother, brothers...... My heart is bitter! ”

"If you don't understand this suffering, no one will understand it...... I only rely on this thing to relieve my boredom, what's wrong with me getting upset and drinking a little wine? ”

Zhu Jinghong said as he walked, at this moment he was already standing by the railing, and outside the white marble railing was the lake.

Seeing that he had come here, Baochai also grabbed the corner of her clothes, she knew that she had come to the last step.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong poured another sip of wine into his mouth, and the next moment he saw him jump and jump on the white marble railing.

Seeing his staggering appearance, everyone present was frightened, how could this be done if he fell.

Everyone got up one after another, and then surrounded Zhu Jinghong, and the eunuchs and maids on the scene were also in a mess.

"Don't hurry up to the lake to take care of it, be careful that the prince falls into the water!" Baochai commanded the attendants.

On Zhu Jinghong's side, seeing that everyone was coming around, he pointed to everyone and ordered him to retreat.

Zhu Jingyuan and the others were also afraid of forcing him to be in a hurry, so they took a few steps back, and the worry on their faces was overflowing.

"Brother Thirteen, come down quickly...... Danger up there! Zhu Yunsheng said eagerly.

Who knew that Zhu Jinghong asked rhetorically: "Dangerous? How dangerous? Falling down is nothing more than drowning! ”

After pouring himself another sip of wine, Zhu Jinghong made an effort to maintain his balance, and said with a smile: "Today is my birthday, you all came to congratulate me, you are wrong......"

"You're wrong......"

Looking up at the sky, Zhu Jinghong said sadly: "I...... It's dead! ”

"I was so pressed that I couldn't breathe, and I was suffocated to death!"

The last sentence, he almost shouted, showing his grief and despair.

"Thirteenth, don't talk nonsense, come down!"

Zhu Jingyuan also reprimanded, after all, the more this guy talks, the more outrageous it becomes, how can he be a brother.

"Thirteenth brother, come down quickly, let's talk about it if you have something!"

"Brother Thirteen, we know that you are bitter in your heart, you come down first......"

Hearing everyone's persuasion, Zhu Jinghong threw away the wine jar in his hand, and the jar fell to the ground and turned into pieces with a "clang".

They thought he was going to come down, but he calmly said, "The year of my death...... Seventeen only! ”

Then, Zhu Jinghong opened his arms and fell straight backwards, and the next moment there was a splash outside the railing.
