As Zhen Qin opened her mouth, the two started chatting.
Although they are family friends, their status is basically matched. Although the two girls have never met, they are rare people who can talk to each other in a foreign land.
From why they came to the capital, to chatting about what they saw on the road, to interesting childhood stories, the two of them talked about everything.
Of course, Zhen Qin held nothing back and even shared family secrets. In comparison, Baochai was much more reserved.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that this time I am selected as the Princess's Attendant, and with the help of my aunt, I will definitely be among the four places!"
"Really? Congratulations to you then..."
"You are better than me in talent, appearance and knowledge, so you deserve to be selected as the princess's attendant. I just went to join in the fun!" Baochai said with a regretful attitude.
At this moment, the curtains on the sides of the two carriages were rolled up, allowing them to communicate face to face without worrying about being seen by outsiders.
Seeing Baochai's helpless look, Zhen Qin felt happy.
Humph, if you don’t have a background like mine and run for election, you’re asking for trouble!
While enjoying the pride brought by her privileges, Zhen Qin comforted her: "Sister, please don't belittle yourself. Although your knowledge is slightly inferior to mine, you are also rare in the world. It should not be difficult to choose to be a servant!"
"Take a step back and say, if you are really at a loss, I will go and ask my aunt to help you. I think you can choose it!"
If Baochai really fails to choose, Zhen Qin really wants to help her. Not only does the Xue family owe her a favor, but she also has a helper in the palace.
Zhen Qin's inner plan cannot escape Baochai's eyes. The way he puts himself in her shoes really makes her laugh.
"Thank you very much, sister!" Xue Baochai looked solemn.
"This is nothing, we are good sisters!" Zhen Qin became more and more proud.
Then she waved to Baochai, gesturing for him to come closer.
"Let me tell you another secret. This time I am here to run for the title of chamberlain, but actually I am here to run for the princess!"
"Princess?" Xue Baochai had a strange expression.
"You don't know yet? The thirteenth son of the current emperor will be crowned king next year, and then he has to choose the princess!"
"Really?"
Zhen Qin lowered her voice and said: "With my aunt's help, maybe I will become a princess next year, and then you and I will no longer be sisters, but kings and ministers..."
Hearing this, Baochai felt uncomfortable, but she still complimented: "So... I wish my sister will get her wish!"
After saying this, Xue Baochai also jokingly called: "Meet the princess!"
"Hey... I can't help it, I can't help it!" Zhen Qin shook her head quickly, but the expression on her face looked very helpful.
Can such a person really choose the princess? Xue Baochai murmured in her heart, at least she thought it was unlikely.
If nothing else, the imperial concubine must at least be calmer. If she does something like Zhen Qin, wouldn't she lose the royal dignity?
Next, Zhen Qin continued to talk endlessly, while Xue Baochai responded frequently and did not take the initiative to say anything more.
Besides, Yinglian returned to the palace and immediately rushed to Zhu Jinghong's residence.
Entering the house, he saw several young eunuchs, led by Zhang Ping'an, serving Zhu Jinghong's lunch.
Seeing Yinglian appear, Zhu Jinghong joked: "Oh...our talented girl is back!"
Arriving next to Zhu Jinghong, Yinglian picked up the teapot, added some tea and said, "Master Thirteen, you know how to laugh at me!"
"How can this be called a joke? I am sincerely praising you!"
"My slave has only been studying for a few days, and she only knows a few words. How can she be called a talented woman!"
"If you really want to be called a talented woman, then Miss Xue should be called one. There seems to be nothing in the world that she doesn't know!"
Listening to Yinglian's praise, Zhu Jinghong said disapprovingly: "That's not necessarily the case. For example, if odd changes to even, the symbol remains the same, and the symbols look at the quadrants, she doesn't know what it means!"
"Ah? Mr. Thirteenth, you said... nothing remains the same!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled even more, picked up a piece of crispy meat, put it into his mouth, and said slowly: "When you learn everything she knows, come and ask me these things!"
"I think so too... Unfortunately, it will be inconvenient to go there these two days!" Yinglian was quite annoyed.
"What? Are you guys arguing?" Zhu Jinghong was a little curious.
Yinglian shook her head: "That's not true. It's just that Miss Xue's family has not found a place to live yet and is worried about this matter right now. How can I bother you!"
"So that's what it is, it's a trivial matter!"
"I live next door, and there's an empty yard for them to live in!"
Having said this, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile on his face: "First, I promised Xue Pan to take care of his family, second, you can also ask for his knowledge, and third... well, there are no three!"
"That...Zhang Pingan!"
Zhang Ping'an quickly approached, hooked his waist and said, "I'm here, Master Thirteen, please give me your orders!"
"Pass my words and let the female family members of the Xue family stay in the palace temporarily!"
"Ah... I'm afraid it's against the rules!" Zhang Ping'an looked confused.
Zhu Jinghong said indifferently: "Rules? What rules? Is this a palace or a royal palace?"
"Send the message quickly!"
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong looked unhappy, Zhang Ping'an didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately turned around and went on errands.
Yinglian, who stayed where she was, was extremely moved at the moment. She just felt that Zhu Jinghong was so good to her that she was even willing to do things that broke the rules for him.
Continuing to eat, Zhu Jinghong said: "When they move in, ask them what they need, and let Deng An get it if they don't have it!"
"Yes!" Yinglian agreed happily.
At this moment, she felt full of accomplishment, and she finally helped the teacher.
Besides, Zhang Ping'an left the palace and quickly found the location of the Xue family and found Aunt Xue who was worried.
“Mrs.
Zhang Ping'an said humbly: "If there is nothing else, please come with me!"
Aunt Xue didn't dare to think about living in the palace. At this moment, she didn't feel any joy, only fear in her heart.
How dare she, a commoner, enter the palace and be neighbors with the Tian family.
"This... why is it happening? Why is it happening!"
Aunt Xue was declining, but Zhen Qin, who heard the conversation on the other end, felt uncomfortable.
She is the grand-nephew of the concubine, and can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. How come no one invites her to live in the palace, and let an outsider from the Xue family take the lead?
Baochai already knew the answer to why such a thing happened, and knew that Yinglian had helped.
After much talk, Aunt Xue couldn't defeat Zhang Pingan, so she agreed to enter the palace for resettlement.
Of course, only the female family members of the Xue family can go in, and the rest of the accompanying men still have to stay outside. It is naturally much easier for these people to find a place to live.
"Girl, it's time for us to go!" A woman came over to remind her.
Looking at Zhen Qin, whose face was filled with grievances, Xue Baochai smiled lightly and said, "Sister Qin, how about you get in my car and go in with me?"
It was difficult to find accommodation outside, so Xue Baochai extended the invitation out of good intentions.
After showing off in all kinds of ways just now, how could he bow his head at this time, so Zhen Qin immediately refused: "No, you can go on your own, I still have to wait for my brother to come back!"
Zhen Qin's tone changed. She was trying to hold back her grievances and not cry, otherwise she would be even more embarrassed.
"Then I'll say goodbye!"
"Farewell!"
"Sister, walk slowly!" Zhen Qin was extremely polite.
