"Princess, the news from Jinling that Uncle Xue beat people does have another reason!"

It turned out that more than a month ago, news came back from Jinling, saying that Xue Pan had beaten someone at the banquet and beat him half to death.

This matter should be dealt with coldly by Tianfu Ya, and the matter was calmed down at that time, and then Xue Pan sent the news back.

At that time, Xue Pan's statement was that the other party did not make a move before he made a bad statement, but Baochai did not believe him, but specially sent someone to investigate.

"Why?"

"It's the son of the same acquaintance in Suzhou Mansion, who said that the prince was arrogant and arrogant in the military, and he also said...... He also said......"

"What else to say!" Baochai put down the teacup, and her expression became more and more unkind.

"And said that you are the princess...... Lucky promotion, ...... the absurd"

Deng An knelt on the ground again, he didn't dare to continue to speak, and at this moment he also understood Xue Pan's mood at that time.

Baochai was of course very angry, but she suppressed her anger at the moment, thinking about why the same knowing son would attack the Xiangwang Mansion in public.

A person with a little brain would not make such a mistake unless it has another purpose.

After thinking about it, Baochai instructed, "You go and check...... This colleague of Suzhou Mansion, who is his mentor's friend in the same year, and who is standing behind these people! ”

"Yes!"

Staring at Deng An, Baochai commanded softly: "Inquire quietly, don't make a big fuss, don't let people think that Xiangwang's Mansion can't tolerate people!" ”

"Yes!"

Those people said that they were lucky to be promoted, and Baochai could actually bear it, but they pointed out that Zhu Jinghong was involved in military power, which touched her reverse scales.

For the first time, she wanted to kill someone's entire family, right...... She wanted to kill the whole family of Suzhou Tongzhi.

However, the next moment, Baochai spoke again: "Pass my order again, send the guards to Jinling, and punish my brother with twenty rods to punish his reckless deeds!" ”

Of course, this is done for outsiders to see, in order not to leave an excuse for others.

"Yes!"

"Let's go down!"

After Deng An retired, Baochai was planning to go back to the house to check the accounts, and later she asked Yang Jingting to play chess.

When she returned to the house, someone outside came to announce that the two county kings were coming, which made Baochai a little surprised.

Naturally, it was Zhu Jingchun and the others who came, and after they came out of the palace, they didn't even go to the palace before they came to the Xiangwang Mansion first.

The purpose of coming to Xiangwangfu is to thank Zhu Jinghong and his wife.

Since the two of them were imprisoned in Shanglin Yuan last year, not to mention that it was all up to Baochai to eat and drink, even if Zhu Jinghong and the two came out later, they did not forget these two unlucky brothers.

On weekdays, some delicious and fun things will be sent to Shanglin Yuan, so that these two guys not only improve their material life, but also experience a rare sense of care.

To be realistic, even their respective mothers and concubines didn't care about them so much.

Now that they have regained their free body, how can they not come to thank them, and Zhu Jinghong should not thank his sister-in-law.

After listening to the maid's inside story, Baochai Fang said: "If you tell the two brothers, just say that his thirteenth brother is not at home, so there is no need to thank him...... It's only right to go back early to entertain guests! ”

Even if the two sides are already very familiar, Baochai will not forget the rules that should be there, and it is extremely normal to arrange this way.

"Yes!"

After the maidservant left, Baochai Fang got up and turned into the inner hall, where a portrait was hung, and the man in military uniform on it was Zhu Jinghong.

Standing in front of the portrait and looking at it for a while, Baochai muttered to himself: "I don't know how you're doing now, it's cold at night, can you sleep peacefully......"

Baochai is worried about her husband, but in this capital, there are people who miss her husband more than her.

At this time, on the attic of the east hall of Kunning Palace, Daiyu was holding her hands by the window, and her eyes followed the line of geese to look at the sky.

"Girl, it's time to eat!" Purple Juan whispered behind him.

"I'm not hungry!"

Seeing that Daiyu was getting more and more haggard, Zijuan was also anxious in her heart, and after thinking about it, she said: "I heard the sister next to the princess saying that the queen mother was worried too much when she saw her, and said that she wanted the girl to go home and reunite with her father!" ”

Daiyu's worries were too conspicuous, and the queen was also worried in her eyes, so she thought about giving Daiyu a holiday.

"Oh!" Daiyu is still lacking in interest.

"Sister Lin?"

"Sister Lin?"

The voice came from downstairs, shouting in the hall like this, except for Zhu Yunsheng, Xiangyun could do it.

"I'm ...... upstairs," Daiyu replied weakly.

Daiyu's decadent Xiangyun saw it in her eyes, and at this moment she made a special trip upstairs to invite Daiyu down for dinner.

When Xiangyun came to Ladaiyu for dinner, Zhu Xianming also quietly entered Kunning Gate, and he made a special trip to accompany the queen for dinner.

They were old husbands and wives, so Yang Qingyin did not come out to greet them, but only waited at the door of the dining room.

After Zhu Xianming entered the hall, Yang Qingyin asked: "Your Majesty is not going to Concubine Liu, why did you come to Kunning Palace again!" ”

With a sigh, Zhu Xianming went directly into the dining room, and after sitting down, he said, "Come and see you!" ”

Seeing that there was a look of displeasure between his eyebrows, Yang Qingyin retreated left and right, and then asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

"It's still that mess in the Northwest......"

After signaling the queen to sit down, Zhu Xianming talked to himself, and Yang Qingyin prepared vegetables for him.

After some explanation, Zhu Xianming said: "Since I became the emperor, I often compare myself with Tang Taizong, and I think that my achievements can be proud of ancient and modern emperors!" ”

"I don't know that now, I can't even manage my own house slaves, and it's a joke to spread it!"

Obviously, what made Zhu Xianming angry was the inaction of Jinyiwei, although he had ordered to severely punish thousands of households in Gansu.

Yang Qingyin sighed and replied, "Although Jinyiwei is a royal slave, he is also in the officialdom after all...... It is inevitable to be tied hand and foot by the sophistication of being human! ”

Staring at the queen, Zhu Xianming said slowly: "Having said that, such evil deeds ...... I still have to punish severely, I plan to ask the South Town Fu Division to check all the thousands of households in the North Division! ”

Yang Qingyin replied: "The people of Nanzhen Fusi are all brave and loyal? Don't forget, there has been a frequent outflow of weapons in Liaodong, and they are also to blame! ”

This sentence choked Zhu Xianming, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

"It should be investigated, it still has to be investigated, I don't wave the whip, these people have forgotten that there is still a master!"

As soon as Zhu Xianming's words fell, a eunuch announcement came from outside the hall, saying that the latest military report had been sent from the northwest.

"Bring it in!"

Although the military newspaper was delivered at an expedited speed of 800 miles, it would take seven or eight days to travel from the northwest to Beijing.

For example, today is June 24, and the military newspaper is on the afternoon of June 16, sent by Ning Huanxiang from Zhangye Mansion.

The emperor looked at the military newspaper carefully, but Yang Qingyin picked up another package, which contained several letters sent by Zhu Jinghong.

That's right, the channel for sending letters has always been an eight-hundred-mile expedited service, which is the same level as the military newspaper of the Governor's Office.

"This is for Sheng'er, and this is for Princess Xiang!"

Zhu Jinghong would write several copies at a time, and sent away his letters to others, and Yang Qingyin picked up his own.

Looking at the words "Queen Mother's Enlightenment" on the envelope, Yang Qingyin unconsciously smiled.

In the letter, Zhu Jinghong first talked about his recent life trivialities, then talked about his latest observations, and finally paid special attention to the queen's body.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong didn't forget his father and asked Yang Qingyin to convey his respect.

After reading Ning Huanxiang's report, Zhu Xianming just sighed, and then looked at the letter in Yang Qingyin's hand.

The latter took the initiative to hand over the letter, only to see that although Zhu Xianming took it indifferently, he looked at it very seriously.

In fact, this letter about the emperor's greetings did not exceed fifty words, but Zhu Xianming read it for a while and did not drop it.

"Alright...... It's time to eat! The queen reminded and reached out and took the letter away.

Zhu Xianming was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "I don't know if Thirteen has eaten!" ”

…………

Besides, in the east hall of Kunning Palace, when Zhu Yunsheng was eating, he received a letter from the maid.

"Brother Thirteen has written again, but I don't know what new scenery he has seen!"

Zhu Yunsheng was looking forward to receiving the letter, but she didn't find that anyone was hotter than her, staring straight at his hand to open the envelope.

"Princess, I want to see it too!" Xiangyun was extremely hearty, and squeezed directly next to Zhu Yunsheng.

Every time he sent a letter to Zhu Yunsheng, Zhu Jinghong would greet Daiyu Xiangyun, so the two of them were also full of anticipation.

But Zhu Yunsheng opened the envelope and found that there were three envelopes inside, only one of which was for her.

"And a letter to me!" Xiangyun shouted with surprise.

The next moment, she said to Daiyu again: "Sister Lin...... There's one for you too! ”

Although it is not allowed for a foreign man to write a letter to a woman in this era, as long as no one is on the platform, this kind of thing is actually not a big deal.

At this moment, there was no need for Xiangyun to remind her, Daiyu also consciously came over and saw her own share in Zhu Yunsheng's hand.

"If it is a letter to you, take it from each of you." Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile, only saying that his brother is very careful.

How do I think the envelope for them should be thicker...... This is the idea that came to Zhu Yunsheng after handing out the envelope.

Daiyu Xiangyun was busy opening the letter, but she didn't bother to pay attention to what the princess was thinking, and the latter didn't think much about it herself.

Let's say that Daiyu opened the envelope, and Zhu Jinghong's concern inside was much thicker than the previous letters, and all aspects of eating, drinking, and sleeping were mentioned.

Even if Zhu Jinghong was far away in the sky, it also made Daiyu feel loved, so that her withered heart was suddenly injected into the spiritual spring, and she suddenly came back to life.

It was Zijuan who noticed the change in Daiyu's mentality, and as a bystander, she had to marvel, sure enough, His Royal Highness King Xiang was the girl's medicine.

If only His Highness could send a few more letters...... Zijuan thought.

But in an instant, she had a bold idea.

Why didn't he stop the girl from replying to the letter, and quietly filled in another sentence in it, so that His Royal Highness could write more letters to the girl with concern.

Previously, everyone would reply to the letter, and Daiyu's letter was handed over to Zijuan in a package, so it was very easy for her to do something.

Everyone here looked at the letter, this matter was in the Xiangwang Mansion, and Baochai and others also gathered in the Yin'an Palace, each looking at Zhu Jinghong's letter.

"I really want to go to Gansu to have a look!" Zhen Qin was the first to read it, and she expressed the same emotion as before.

Zhu Jinghong wrote letters to several wives and concubines, and each letter had a different style, for example, the letter in Baochai's hand was talking about business.

The guards assigned by Zhu Jinghong to Wang Pei'an not only protected but also monitored him.

Knowing that the former political envoy of Gansu was Zhao Yushan's beloved disciple, at this time Wang Pei'an stabbed the affairs of Gansu to the imperial court, Zhu Jinghong knew that it would definitely cause waves in the court.

Although he did not participate in it, because Wang Pei'an was his teacher, he might still be involved, so Zhu Jinghong had to remind Baochai to pay attention.

After reading the letter, Baochai couldn't help but sigh, and then she said goodbye to everyone, and then got up and went into the back hall.

How to deal with this matter, she needs to think about it carefully, and then write back to Zhu Jinghong.

The night passed quickly, and the next day Baochai entered the palace, bringing with him everyone's reply.

This is also a common practice, and every time the emperor replies to the letter, he will use the channel of 800 li to expedit, and sometimes even send it to the front line with the holy decree.

In the words of the queen, these two men are the same absurdity.

After sitting in Kunning Palace for a while, Baochai went to the east hall to chat for a while, and only left to return to the palace at noon.

However, when she returned to the palace, she learned that Princess Rui Chen Zhi had arrived, and now she was accompanied by Concubine Yang Jingting.

What did she come to do? This was the first idea that came to Baochai's mind.

At this moment, in Yang Jingting's bedroom, Chen Zhi had a very happy conversation with her.

Knowing that Baochai had returned home, Chen Zhi said, "Okay, sister, I still have some things...... Let's take my leave! ”

"Sister-in-law, go slowly!" Yang Jingting got up to see him off.

Let's say that when Baochai entered Yin'anmen, he saw Chen Zhi and others in the courtyard, and greeted her when he saw her coming.

"Baochai, you're back, it's not easy to see you!"

"After entering the palace to meet my mother today, I chatted with Sheng'er for a while, so that my sister-in-law waited for a long time!"

Seeing Baochai bending down to apologize, Chen Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said with a smile: "Why do you bother, between our sisters, there are these false courtesies!" ”

"Let's go, let's go in and talk!"

Chen Zhi didn't see anything outside, and walked to the hall with Baochai, and in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them had a very good relationship.

After the two of them sat down, Chen Zhi said with a smile: "The thirteenth brother's heart is not above mundane things, and this house is in the hands of you, so it has been safe and sound!" ”

"Sister-in-law laughed, this is just my duty, we women can't just take care of idleness and let men take care of these trivial things!"

"Well said...... Baochai! ”

After finishing a sentence, Chen Zhi immediately asked: "But I don't know what kind of big things the thirteenth brother is busy with now?" ”

A woman's sixth sense always makes her feel that Zhu Jinghong is dangerous, even if the other party is a stupid man.

"His big thing is to play everywhere, my sister-in-law watched him grow up, and I think I know better than me!" Baochai showed a helpless look.

"That's ...... too"

In this way, the two talked nonsense for a while, and Chen Zhi inserted the topic and said: "Baochai, the chief historian of your palace, there have been a lot of incidents recently!" ”

"I heard your sixth brother say that this person disregards the overall situation and interferes in the local ...... without authorization."

Chen Zhiyi said righteously, if it weren't for Baochai who had understood the situation, she really thought that Wang Pei'an had made a big mistake.

Listening to Chen Zhi's denunciation of Wang Pei'an, Baochai was guessing Chen Zhi's intentions, and analyzed and judged his position in combination with Zhu Jinghong's letter.

"Your sixth brother is worried about the overall situation of the Northwest Counterinsurgency, so let me come over and ask you something!"

Baochai said with a smile: "What my sister-in-law said, our sisters have something to say, why bother to say a word!" ”

"Then I'll say it bluntly, what your sixth brother means is to ask the thirteenth brother to say hello to Wang Pei'an and ask him to focus on the overall situation...... Stop investigating cases! ”

The sixth wants to show favor to Zhao Yushan, but it is in line with the positioning of this guy as a speculator, this is Zhu Jinghong's judgment on the sixth in his letter, and Baochai only thinks it is appropriate when he thinks of it at this time.

Baochai sighed: "So that's the case...... But I'm afraid of my words, he won't necessarily listen to the prince, and he may not be able to persuade Wang Changshi if he listens! ”

Chen Zhi said calmly: "You have to let the thirteenth brother tell this Wang Changshi, and ask him to think more about his future, and even more about his family!" ”

"Sister-in-law...... I can only repair a book for the prince, and he can't say it if he doesn't listen to it! ”

Hearing Baochai's words, Chen Zhi looked at her with a smile and said, "Baochai...... I know that you are clever, how can the thirteenth brother not listen to you, unless you are unwilling to help your sister-in-law! ”

This is to say that if Zhu Jinghong doesn't help, it means that Baochai is not powerful.

"To be the princess for you, for the sake of your house's expenses, my sister-in-law has also helped herself!"

Looking at Baochai with a solemn expression, Chen Zhi said solemnly: "From beginning to end, my sister-in-law has never spoken to you, and now she is busy...... You must help me! ”

To be honest, Baochai does owe Chen Zhi a lot of favors.

If it weren't for Zhu Jinghong's ambition, from the perspective of emotions and interests, she should have helped the Ruiwang family.

It's a pity that Zhu Jinghong is restless.

"I'll do my best!" Baochai gave a guarantee.

She had to say this at this time, otherwise she would completely offend Chen Zhi to death.

Baochai is not afraid of offending people, the problem is that now is not the time, so she still has to stabilize the Rui Wangfu.
