Chapter 459: Cao Thief's Heart
"I didn't know that after two days, they would only travel dozens of miles, and they would be taken by the people of Jinyiwei!"
"Oh!"
The word "oh" that Baochai replied was very spiritual, and her tone was erratic, making people unsure of what she meant.
"My father and the deputy envoy Zheng Hong have been acquainted with each other recently, and Zheng Hong learned that I have some friendship with the princess, so he asked me to come and deliver a message, and I want His Royal Highness King Xiang to help me turn around!"
The news of the North Korean prince being taken, Baochai had heard Zhu Jinghong say a few days ago, she knew that this matter was not simple, and it was the fourth and sixth children who were fighting.
Normally, Baochai would not be involved in such a thing, so she said with a smile: "Since it is a misunderstanding, the court has its own judgment, and you don't have to worry too much about them!" ”
"Recently, the flowers in the palace garden are blooming, and since you are here today, you are just going to watch it!"
Seeing Baochai change the topic, Cui Xiuqing became more and more embarrassed and said: "Thank you princess for your love, Zheng Hong said that although this matter was a misunderstanding, they are ministers after all...... But I don't understand the rules of the Ming Dynasty, so I thought about asking the prince for help! ”
Seeing that Cui Xiuqing continued to say that Baochai was somewhat dissatisfied with this girlfriend, usually this girl didn't look very shrewd.
Stopping what he was thinking, Baochai said slowly: "The prince is about to go to the northwest, and now he is not at home for days, he has too many things to do, and I am also worried about his body!" ”
"The Korean envoys also know that the prince is busy, so they have a generous gift to thank him......"
Hearing this, Baochai almost wanted to laugh, what kind of thing in this world can be called a generous gift in front of King Xiang's mansion.
"Xiuqing, it's not that we don't want to help, it's really ......"
has said this, Cui Xiuqing knows that if she can't say anything about moving Baochai, then she will have no chance.
"There is a gold mine in the fief of the captured Korean prince, and they are willing to give it to the prince as a tribute!"
From the beginning to the present, this is the most useful sentence Cui Xiuqing said, after all, Baochai did not open his mouth again at this time.
"It is said that that gold mine can produce at least 5,000 taels of gold every year, which can be used to thank the prince for his rescue!"
Five thousand taels of gold, the gold and silver exchange ratio of the Ming Dynasty today, can be exchanged for about fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, in Baochai's opinion, this is indeed a considerable income.
"What gold is not gold, our sisters will mention these things!"
After saying that, Baochai got up and walked in front of Cui Xiuqing, who also stood up in fear.
"There are a lot of sisters here today, I have to introduce you to get to know them, we are going to the garden to enjoy the flowers in the afternoon, so let's stay and go together!" Baochai warmly extended an invitation.
"Princess, I ......"
"Okay, okay, I know you're in a hurry, you and I are so friendly...... Am I not going to help you? ”
Of course, this sentence is polite, she plans to stabilize Cui Xiuqing first, and wait for Zhu Jinghong to come back to discuss before making a decision.
"Let's go, come with me!" Baochai pulled Cui Xiuqing and walked outside the hall.
In desperation, Cui Xiuqing could only go out with Baochai, she knew that things were in a hurry.
In fact, she herself is not really in a hurry, after all, it is not her relatives who are arrested, she is just entrusted by others at the moment.
Let's say that Baochai led Cui Xiuqing out of the palace, and a female official greeted her, saying that all the affairs prepared for Zhu Jinghong were ready, and she asked her to go over and take a look in person.
So Baochai led Cui Xiuqing again, so that Wang Xifeng, who wanted to come forward to speak in the corridor, missed the opportunity, so she had to continue to wait.
She had been waiting for a while, but now she was distraught, but even if she was upset, she could only continue to wait.
"Second grandma, I found you...... Grandma Zhen is seriously ill in Zhuangzi, and the old lady asks you to go back and have a look! Ping'er gasped.
came from Rongguo Mansion to the outside of the palace, and waited for a long time to be able to enter the palace, and at this moment she finally found Wang Xifeng.
And the grandmother Zhen in her mouth is You's, since Jia Zhen passed away, she has been depressed, and after Jia Zhen was buried, she went out of Ningguo Mansion on the grounds of purity, and now lives in Zhuangzi outside the city.
Of course, her purpose in doing this was to cover up the fact that she was pregnant, and Jia Rong naturally fully supported and cooperated.
But You Shi didn't live in the Grange for a few days, so Jia Rong directly ordered her henchmen to put her under house arrest, and then forcibly used drugs to help her have a miscarriage.
This almost made You Shi die on the spot, but fortunately, she died and came back to life.
But You Shi knew that if he didn't make a move as soon as possible, Jia Rong would probably be poisoned again, and then she would really have only one way to die.
So after You Shi woke up, he tried his best to send a henchman to come out and spread the word, indicating to Mrs. Jia that he was critically ill and wanted to return to Beijing for treatment.
It is unlucky to say that there are consecutive deaths in the family, so Jia's mother will let Ping'er come to pass the word and ask Wang Xifeng to hurry back to take care of the matter.
"Hmm...... I'll go tell my wife first! Wang Xifeng responded, but his eyes were still looking at the direction where Baochai disappeared.
Ping'er replied: "The wife has already given it to her, and she said that you should go first, and they will explain it to the princess!" ”
It seems that I am indeed in a hurry, but I am also in a hurry...... Wang Xifeng was shouting in his heart.
After waiting for a few more breaths, when Wang Xifeng thought that she couldn't wait to turn around, she vaguely heard a voice from behind.
Knowing that it was Baochai who came, Wang Xifeng immediately instructed Ping'er: "You go out first and prepare the car, and after I say goodbye to the princess in person, I will come out immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
A few seconds after Ping'er left, I saw Baochai returning from the back corridor, followed by several female officials in addition to Cui Xiuqing.
"Do a few more things, this is going to the bitter cold in the northwest, you have to change it!"
"If there is one more, the chef must choose two more, not only to be skillful, but also to be able to ...... all."
After several orders in a row, Baochai ordered everyone to retreat, and Wang Xifeng saw the right time to meet him.
"Princess Niangniang, the prince has a virtuous wife like you, I really envy others......" Wang Xifeng stepped forward at the right time to answer.
Baochai replied with a smile: "I'm afraid it's only you who thinks like this, he annoys me a lot now, saying that I dragged him down!" ”
"How do you say this, with a good wife like you, a man should be happy, how can he bear to be accused like this!" Now in front of Baochai, Wang Xifeng naturally picked up good words.
"He is going to the northwest, and I am worried about his safety and persuade him not to go, but he will blame me......"
"Alas, this man, there are a few more difficulties that understand us!"
Wang Xifeng hurriedly catered and said: "What the princess said is yes, only we women can be considerate of each other!" ”
Listening to the false politeness of these two people, Cui Xiuqing listened after her, and thought of her family for a while.
If she gets things done this time, then her family will become Li Hui's benefactor, and she will be more confident when she goes to North Korea.
"Princess, I have something to tell you!"
"If you have anything to say, we are not outsiders!"
"I don't know the truth about the affairs of the Zhang family in Xin'an, and I was deceived before I interfered indiscriminately......"
There is a follow-up to this matter, of course Baochai knows about it, and Zhu Jinghong told her when he returned home.
Coincidentally, Cui Xiuqing, who is also a party, was also there, which surprised Baochai a little.
"This fact is that the courtiers are wrong, and I ask the princess to punish her!"
After that, Wang Xifeng knelt directly in front of Baochai, and the gesture of admitting the beating and admitting punishment was enough.
"Alright, what's the matter, get up!" Baochai said with a smile.
After Wang Xifeng got up, Baochai Fang continued: "Although there are twists and turns in this matter, it is finally resolved satisfactorily, you can be more careful in the future!" ”
"The princess teaches, the courtiers remember!"
"By the way, this Cui family girl is my friend...... Get to know each other! Baochai introduced Cui Xiuqing.
The matter was finally resolved, Wang Xifeng's heart finally landed, and she was in a much better mood at the moment.
So according to the words of flattering Baochai, after downgrading a little, Wang Xifeng praised Cui Xiuqing again, and the two became familiar with each other while talking.
sent Baochai all the way into the Tongxin Palace, and when Mrs. Wang and others reminded him to return home, Wang Xifeng accepted it as if he didn't realize it, and then apologized to Baochai and said goodbye.
Out of the Tongxin Palace, she walked towards the outside of the palace at a very fast pace, and in order to save time, she took the narrow sidewalk.
When she turned into an alley, she crashed into the arms of a person head-on, and she screamed "ah" in shock, and the next moment she was knocked backwards.
Seeing that she was about to decline to the ground, Zhu Jinghong pulled her clothes with one hand, and then pulled it back with all his might.
And between this pull, the picture that should not appear in Wang Xifeng's clothes was presented in front of Zhu Jinghong's eyes.
"it...... Gee! ”
Hugging Wang Xifeng's waist and feeling her body temperature, Zhu Jinghong was a little carried away, at least he didn't think about letting go for a moment.
The eunuch behind him was about to step forward, but was stopped by Deng An, who accompanied him to pay a message, and he was the eunuch who knew Zhu Jinghong the most in the palace.
"Lord Wang...... The courtiers should be damned, they collided with the prince! After Wang Xifeng was briefly stunned, he immediately made a confession.
But when she wanted to struggle to get up, Zhu Jinghong's hands did not let go, so that she couldn't move at all, not to mention that she didn't dare to struggle too hard.
"It's okay...... it's okay"
Zhu Jinghong slowly let go, and his hand roamed around Wang Xifeng's waist, quite reluctantly.
A righteous man like me has been hooked, how can ordinary people bear it...... Zhu Jinghong's eyes were like knives, and he looked at the in front of him carefully.
And this scene was all seen by Deng An in his eyes and carefully remembered in his heart.
"You're here to find the princess today?"
"Exactly, because there was something in the house, so I returned in a hurry, and I rushed into the prince in a hurry, and the courtiers really deserve to die!" Wang Xifeng wanted to kneel and salute.
She was really scared, for no other reason, just because Zhu Jinghong was a prince, and because Jia Zhen was almost killed that day.
"I'm not that stingy, get up!" Zhu Jinghong stepped forward to help, and "inadvertently" touched Wang Xifeng's waist again.
Normally, there is no such way to help people get up.
Although Zhu Jinghong's behavior was very rude, Wang Xifeng could only pretend not to know, and was honestly helped up by him.
"Just slow down...... If you have something, go ahead! Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"Yes!"
After saluting Zhu Jinghong again, Wang Xifeng led the girl and left.
And Zhu Jinghong deliberately turned around and watched Wang Xifeng twist his waist and disappear, and then turned back and continued walking.
"Lord, do you want a slave to try to ......?"
As soon as Deng An spoke, Zhu Jinghong knew what he wanted to fart, so he scolded with a smile: "What kind of law?" Am I that kind of person? ”
I haven't said anything yet...... Deng An was speechless for a while, but he was more sure of Zhu Jinghong's mind.
And a good slave not only speaks flattering words, but also has to be considerate and handle things well.
This daughter-in-law of the Jia family, pay more attention in the future and find an opportunity to give the thirteenth master...... Deng Anxin pondered.
"The prince's lesson is that the slave is too talkative, and he should be beaten!" After that, Deng An slapped himself twice.
The group continued to move forward, and Wang Xifeng, who had gone away, was also teaching the two girls who were following him closely.
"I heard it clearly, if the situation just now gets out, I want your life!"
In front of Zhu Jinghong, he was submissive, and Wang Xifeng attacked the little girls with heavy punches, and put on the posture of a housekeeper and grandmother.
"Yes!" The little girls were so frightened that they immediately agreed.
Besides, Zhu Jinghong entered the palace and learned that Baochai was meeting guests, so he was not good at appearing on this kind of formal occasion, so he first went to the palace school to practice martial arts.
But he only entered the school field with his front foot, and Wang Pei'an came over with his back foot.
"Your Highness, ...... today"
"Sir, it's getting late today, let's talk about schoolwork tomorrow!"
"Your Highness, that's not what the minister wants to say!" Wang Pei'an replied calmly.
"Oh? What does the sir want to say? ”
"Today, Your Majesty issued an edict to order the ministers to go to the northwest with His Highness this time, so that His Highness's homework will not be lost!"
Originally, Zhu Jinghong was in a good mood, but after hearing Wang Pei'an's words, his whole person suddenly became uncomfortable.
went to the northwest, what he wanted to do, although Wang Pei'an couldn't stop it, but it always added some inconvenience.
"This ...... This ......"
So much so that at this moment, Zhu Jinghong didn't know what to say, which made Wang Pei'an, who was standing still, also embarrassed.
"Okay, with Mr. with him, this king can go to school with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about his father and queen mother!"
In the end, Zhu Jinghong held back these high-sounding words, not to mention Wang Pei'an, and even he didn't believe it.
But this is the emperor's will, Zhu Jinghong must be cautious in this matter, and he can't say anything more and then make a moth.
"Since Mr. is going to join the army, let's take a leave of absence in the near future, so that I can go back to accompany my family, I have heard the princess say that your wife has complained a lot about your family!"
Wang Pei'an was slightly stunned, and then he only felt embarrassed, because he really didn't care enough about family affairs.
didn't let his wife live a good life, didn't let his daughter eat and dress well, didn't let his old mother live a good life, whether he was a husband and a son, he was quite a failure.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the minister has taken his leave!"
At this moment, Wang Pei'an did not argue, he just wanted to return to his family now, he didn't know how long he would be able to come back to the northwest, and he only felt more and more indebted to his family.
Besides, on the side of Tongxin Palace, after Baochai learned that Zhu Jinghong was back, she had no intention of making a false deal with Mrs. Wang, after all, she still had something to do at the moment.
So Baochai excused that there was something in the house, so he asked Yang Jingting to accompany him and left, went straight to Yin'an Hall to wait, and asked people to ask Zhu Jinghong to come back.
Zhu Jinghong only shot a few arrows here, and then received an invitation from Baochai.
Knowing that there was an "important matter" to discuss, Zhu Jinghong could only put down his bow and arrows, and returned to the Yin'an Palace with unfinished satisfaction.
In the small study of Yin'an Palace, Baochai was sitting in the guest seat drinking tea, and she put down the teacup when she saw Zhu Jinghong come in.
"The prince is back!"
Sitting next to Baochai, Zhu Jinghong asked, "What's the matter?" ”
After retreating from the house, Baochai handed the teacup to Zhu Jinghong and said, "The prince of North Korea was taken by Jinyiwei, do you know about this?" ”
After taking a sip of hot tea, Zhu Jinghong replied: "What was taken by thousands of households in Henan has been handed over to thousands of households in Dongcheng two days ago!" ”
Baochai continued: "Do you remember that I have a handkerchief friend, named Cui Xiuqing!" ”
"Hmm!"
"This person also wants to go to North Korea, and he happened to be traveling with the North Korean mission on the way north, and now the North Korean deputy envoy has found her to be in the middle, I hope you will try to rescue their prince!"
Looking at Baochai, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Do you know...... The stakes are so high that it's too late for me to hide now! ”
"Of course I know, but the benefits given by others are also great, so I came to ask for your instructions!"
"The benefits? What good can it be! Zhu Jinghong didn't care.
"People are willing to give a gold mine!"
