Another few days passed, and the palace was cleared.

Wang Pei'an stood in front of the emperor and listened carefully to the emperor's instructions.

Normally, it is basically impossible for an official of Wang Pei'an's level to meet the emperor, all because he is the governor of Xiangwang's Mansion.

In order to select a long historian for Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Xianming also spent a lot of effort to find a direct minister like Wang Pei'an.

It is difficult to find real direct ministers, as long as they are used in the right place, the effect will be very good, for example, if they are stuffed into the household department, they can check the bad debts, if they are put in the local area, they can punish corruption, and if they govern a place alone, they can show their political achievements......

If it weren't for Zhu Jinghong, who was too "unsuccessful", Zhu Xianming would definitely send him to a more suitable position, such as Jinling Qingzhang, who would start in a few months.

"When you go to the northwest, in addition to seeing the old thirteen, you also have to visit the military and civilians to find out the truth, especially Qinghai and Anxi, and ask more!"

The rebellion of the Zasak Khanate, as well as the untamed subjugation of Dzungaria, and whether Qinghai and Anxi were at fault, are all matters that need to be carefully investigated.

With the emperor's words, Wang Pei'an suddenly felt full of energy, and the errand to the northwest was at least not so boring.

"Your Majesty's will, the ministers should do their best!"

"Good...... Go down! ”

The visit lasted no more than a quarter of an hour, but Wang Pei'an was greatly encouraged, because it represented the emperor's recognition and appreciation for him.

If you treat me as a soldier, I will repay you as a soldier...... When he stepped out of the Qianqing Gate, Wang Pei'an strengthened his thoughts.

And the next person to be seen was Zhu Jinghong, who happened to arrive at Qianqingmen at this moment and met with Wang Pei'an and said a few words.

When he came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jinghong was slightly puzzled, generally speaking, he went to ask the emperor to say goodbye, and rarely took the initiative to summon him.

After entering the hall to greet the emperor, Zhu Jinghong was about to ask what was going on, but Zhu Xianming took the first step to ask.

"Are you really determined to go to the Northwest?"

Faced with this question, Zhu Jinghong replied with words: "Dad, whether the innovation of the North Four Guards can be used, my son must go and see if it can be understood!" ”

Zhu Xianming was noncommittal, and said slowly: "Do you know...... From the beginning of your fuss to today, there are many officials at the bottom who have impeached you, and there are more than 130 impeachment stamps alone! ”

Zhu Jinghong really didn't know about this matter, it was all because Zhu Xianming was powerful enough to keep all these bullet seals.

To be honest, the scale of more than 100 impeachment sparse is definitely an uproar when put in the open, and it is not much worse than the current pick of the sixth child.

In this way, it can also be seen that Zhu Xianming's control over the court, and the things he wants to suppress can't be stirred up at all.

"Dad, don't be fooled by them, these people are short-sighted......"

"Okay, what people say is true, don't pour dirty water on the other side!"

"Since you want to go, I won't stop you, but you have to promise me three conditions!"

"Dad, you command, don't say it's three conditions, it's ......"

Ignoring Zhu Jinghong's poor mouth, Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice: "First, you must not come to the battle in person!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Jinghong hurriedly replied.

"Second, don't interfere with the command!"

"Yes!"

"Third, don't go deep into the enemy's belly!"

"Yes!"

Although Zhu Jinghong answered quickly, he felt that these three sentences were like guiding lights, making his next path clearer.

"Boy, don't promise to be happy, you have to give me the rules honestly, otherwise you will come back as soon as possible!"

"Dad, don't worry......"

Zhu Xianming continued: "Ning Huanxiang will set off the day after tomorrow, you can set off with him!" ”

Originally, Zhu Jinghong wanted to go by himself, but after listening to the old man's arrangement, he knew that he couldn't refuse.

"Yes!"

Next, the emperor told him many things, Zhu Jinghong answered them all, and then he went to Kunning Palace.

After the queen explained the situation, he thought that the queen would persuade him to stay, but he knew that the old mother just repeatedly told him that he must take care of himself when he goes to the northwest.

After a delay in Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong returned to the palace, and he wanted to inform Baochai of the news.

When he returned to the house, he learned that Baochai and others were enjoying the flowers in the back garden, so he looked for it.

The garden of Xiangwang's Mansion is very large, and many places in it are arranged by Baochai, and Zhu Jinghong can roughly guess which place Baochai is.

When he came to a place in the back garden, he did find Baochai here, and he was having fun alone.

I saw Baochai holding a fan, walking among the flowers, and there was a pair of jade-colored butterflies in front of her, which were waving in the wind.

Baochai wanted to pounce on it, but the pair of butterflies flickered and fell, making her fall several times but missed.

And this beautiful scene just made Zhu Jinghong see it in his eyes, so that the eunuch next to him wanted to greet him, but he glared back.

Although Baochai is a serious beauty, it is difficult for Zhu Jinghong to be amazed after being married for a long time, but today he has to admit that his daughter-in-law has made him moved.

Originally, he planned to communicate with Zhen Qin tonight, but at this moment he temporarily changed his mind and planned to discuss life with Baochai.

Let's say that Baochai's side has failed to make a contribution to the butterfly fluttering many times, but she is so tired that she is sweating, and in the end she can only watch the butterfly fly away.

Just as she was wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, she heard applause behind her, which made Baochai's heart suddenly tighten.

She deliberately retreated left and right, and found a no-man's land to release her nature, but she didn't know that there were others present just now.

If the situation is seen by outsiders, her majesty as a princess will not be able to hold on!

Through the gap between the trees and flowers, after seeing who the person was, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then she walked out with a fan, and Zhu Jinghong greeted her with a smile.

came to Baochai and took the handkerchief from her hand, Zhu Jinghong wiped her sweat for her, and at the same time combed her sideburns, his face was full of spoiling.

"The princess is innocent, it's really rare to see, and it makes people fall in love at first sight!"

Baochai dodged back the handkerchief, bypassed Zhu Jinghong and took two steps forward, before turning around and saying: "The prince came here without saying a word, I'm afraid it's just to see my jokes, and now he still laughs at me with these words!" ”

"What else do you say about falling in love at first sight? Could it be that before he saw me, the prince had already moved his heart elsewhere? ”

"You...... Alas...... I can't tell you! Zhu Jinghong was helpless.

But I saw Baochai enter the pavilion and sit down, refreshments and fruits had already been placed here, and Zhu Jinghong also sat in.

personally poured a cup of tea for Zhu Jinghong, and after handing it to him, Baochai said: "What did your father call you to the palace?" ”

At this time, Zhu Jinghong was still staring at Baochai, thinking about tonight's posture.

Maybe you don't have to wait until the evening......

"Eh...... What do you ask? Baochai was dissatisfied, although she was quite proud of it.

"What did my father call you into the palace?"

"Oh...... Just warn me, don't mess around when you go to the northwest! ”

"That's all?"

"Oh...... And the day after tomorrow! Zhu Jinghong replied calmly.

Although she knew that he was destined to go, when this day really came, Baochai still felt extremely uncomfortable, so that she was a little lost.

Of course, she knows that she is the princess and Zhu Jinghong's wife, and she must be strong at this time and not let Zhu Jinghong have worries.

"So...... Fortunately, this matter is finally settled! Baochai pretended to be relaxed and said.

Sitting next to Baochai, Zhu Jinghong took her into his arms, and then said softly: "Everything in the palace will depend on you next!" ”

"Hmm!"

The husband and wife clasped their hands, and their hearts were like one person.

After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jinghong suddenly spoke: "Baochai...... I'd like to discuss something with you! ”

"What?"

"It's inconvenient to say here, come with me to the dormitory!"

After that, Zhu Jinghong picked up Baochai by the waist, and no matter how the latter struggled, it was useless.

…………

Orthodox twelfth year, April 28.

The yellow calendar said that today is a good day, so Ning Huanxiang chose to set off on this day, and Zhu Jinghong will also leave with him today.

Zhu Jinghong got up early in the morning, and the whole family gathered around for breakfast.

There are a lot of people in his family now, including the princess Baochai, the side concubine Yang Jingting, the selected servant Zhen Qin, and the concubines Keqing and Yinglian.

At the dinner table, everyone was surrounded by parting feelings, and one by one could only be called forced laughter.

Only Keqing was in a slightly better mood at the scene, because she would go to the northwest with Zhu Jinghong to take care of his diet and daily life.

Of course, it is not really necessary for Keqing to do laundry and cooking, just to let her be the head manager, and the accompanying maids and eunuchs will do the things.

On her errand, several women, including Yang Jingting, were very hot-eyed, and Baochai specially arranged for Keqing to go.

This is thanks to Keqing's low-key personality, which let Baochai know that she didn't have a messy mind, so she gave her such a heavy responsibility.

Soon everyone had eaten, and it was time for Zhu Jinghong to leave, and he had to go to the palace to bid farewell to the emperor and queen.

This time when he entered the palace, naturally Baochai wanted to accompany him, so they got into one carriage, and Keqing boarded the other.

When Zhu Jinghong entered the palace, Ning Huanxiang had already finished meeting the emperor and was waiting for him outside the gate.

Zhu Jinghong was about to go to the Qianqing Palace first, but a eunuch told him to go directly to Kunning Palace.

When he came to Kunning Palace, he found that not only the emperor and queen were there, but the prince and Rui Wang and his wife had arrived with the royal grandchildren, and Zhu Yunsheng also led Xiangyun and Daiyu to appear in the palace.

It is equivalent to saying that the "big family" centered on the queen all went to Kunning Palace to see off Zhu Jinghong.

The most reluctant Zhu Jinghong was the queen, then Zhu Yunsheng, who was crying, and then the emperor who didn't talk much.

As for the prince and the Rui Wang couple, the former was somewhat reluctant, but the latter wished that Zhu Jinghong would get out of the house quickly, so as not to spoil his good deeds again.

Of course, at this moment, both the crown prince and the Rui King are somewhat jealous of Zhu Jinghong in their hearts.

This has nothing to do with Zhu Jinghong's attitude and thoughts, it's just that he is now overly saintly, and there are still signs of getting involved in military power.

Even if the crown prince and King Rui felt that it was not a big problem, those under their command would take it into account and keep warning and reminding them in their ears.

A few days ago, the emperor mentioned that Zhu Jinghong had been impeached hundreds of times, including the actions of the crown prince and King Rui's subordinates.

It's a pity that the emperor trusted Zhu Jinghong too much and left all the chapters in the middle, so that these people could only be helpless.

Let's say that in Kunning Palace, Zhu Jinghong stayed for half an hour, he listened to a lot of admonitions, responded to a lot of things, and also made all kinds of guarantees.

In the end, bidding farewell to the emperor and queen, Zhu Jinghong finally walked out of Kunning Palace, and walked out of the palace gate without looking back.

As he strode away, someone in the attic of the east hall was watching him, and tears flowed down his eyes as they looked at his back.

Zhu Jinghong didn't know all this, after he joined Ning Huanxiang when he left the palace gate, at this time, Liang Qian, the imperial historian of the supervising army, and Huang Qing, the eunuch of the supervising army, also arrived.

Several people laughed and walked out of the imperial city together.

Outside the imperial city, there was already a large team of people waiting, Zhu Jinghong and a few people got into the car, and officially embarked on the road to the west.

In addition to Zhu Jinghong's 200 guards, Ning Huanxiang also had a 100-person guard, and there were also Jingying troops accompanying him outside the city, and their team would have about 6,000 people.

When they went out of the city, in the Kunning Palace at the other end, the emperor also said goodbye to the queen and returned to the Qianqing Palace to approve the folds.

As soon as the old man left, the prince and the king couldn't sit still, and they didn't stay for a while before they found an interface and left.

Although they get along harmoniously on the surface, the queen knows that when they step out of Kunning Gate, the two brothers will become undying enemies.

She also knew that Zhu Jinghong had been involved in a battle recently, and he may have been used by the prince.

In Yang Qingyin's opinion, Zhu Jinghong's behavior of saving Li Hui is very likely to be used by the prince.

This also shows that although he supports the fourth child to be the prince, Yang Qingyin still can't trust the fourth child's character.

The only ones who can be completely poured into her mother's love and trust are Zhu Jinghong and Zhu Yunsheng.

In this way, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the old thirteen to hide out...... Yang Qingyin comforted himself like this.

Just as he was thinking about such a thing, Yuan Chun and Chen Zhi talked in a weird way, which made Yang Qingyin's mood even worse.

I only heard Yang Qingyin teach: "You two, go back if you have nothing to do...... You're also very busy, so don't delay with me! ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Let's go back!"

The queen's attitude was resolute, and Yuan Chun and the others no longer dared to stay, and then they left very consciously.

Besides, in the attic of the East Palace, looking at the heartbroken Daiyu, Zijuan was also very uncomfortable in her heart.

"Girl, cry if you want to!" Zijuan can only persuade like this.

She knew that as long as Daiyu cried, her heart would feel a little better.

However, Daiyu only wept, and there was no sign of crying at all.

Handing over the handkerchief again, Zijuan continued: "I see that the Thirteenth Master also has affection for the girl, and the girl doesn't have to be too sad, and the Thirteenth Master will return to Beijing in the future......"

"Say no more!" The more Daiyu listened to these words, the more sad she felt.

The two were silent for a while, and then they heard movement from the attic, but it was Baochai Xiangyun and Zhu Yunsheng who came back.

Daiyu was the only one left in the hall, and when she entered the palace, Baochai didn't see her, so she asked the palace maid on duty.

When I asked, I found out that Daiyu was upstairs, so Baochai went up to the attic to look for it, while Zhu Yunsheng finished his homework.

When Baochai went up to the attic, Daiyu barely cleaned up her mood, but her eyes still looked a little red, which made people know that she had cried.

"What's going on here? Who bullied you again? Baochai stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Princess......

Zijuan was about to answer, but Daiyu was afraid that she would speak out of proportion, so she immediately answered: "Today, I see Your Majesty, the queen and the crown prince reunited, and share a happy family...... Let me ......."

"Could it be that you miss Ling Zun?" Baochai asked with concern.

"Exactly!" Daiyu nodded, tears sliding down her eyes again, it did look like that.

Baochai was young and frustrated, and she was quite sympathetic to Daiyu's feelings, so she pulled Daiyu and said, "If you are really homesick...... I can tell your mother on your behalf, and allow you to go home and serve your father!" ”

Yes? Am I putting on too much of a show? If I leave the palace, I can see him again?

Daiyu was a little panicked for a while, but she had another plan in her, so she replied: "Although I miss my father, I am like sisters to the princess, and she will be even more lonely if I leave!" ”

Daiyu really wants to remove the label of "love sisters", but now she has to use it, which really makes her painful and happy.

Looking at Daiyu's weak body, Baochai couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas...... You're just thinking too much about it, completely ignoring yourself, how can you get it! ”

Sister Bao, you have been too good to me, how can you get it in the future...... Daiyu was shouting in her heart.

Pulling Daiyu to the attic, Baochai said slowly: "Okay, when the cloud girl comes back, you can also find time to take a vacation, and it's good to go back to accompany your father!" ”

"Hmm!" Daiyu answered.

"By the way, if you have time, you can also come to the palace to talk to me, I am also alone now!" Baochai forced out a smile and said.

"Hmm!"

The two went down to the attic together, and they heard Zhu Yunsheng losing his temper, it turned out that the female official had come to pass on the queen's words again, asking her to embroider a pair of peonies today.

For her daughter who wants to marry, the queen is both doting and strict, so among her three sons and one daughter, Zhu Jinghong is the happiest.

A little easter egg at the end of the chapter, the princess flutters butterflies!
