Entering the palace, Zhu Jinghong ordered someone to change his clothes.
Naturally, he had to dress more formally when meeting the emperor. At least a dragon robe and a winged hat were standard, so that he could express his respect for the emperor.
After finishing dressing up, Zhu Jinghong led Yu Hai and others out of the palace and went straight to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor was.
But as soon as he walked out of Chengmingyuan, two teenagers ran into him and bumped into him.
Immediately afterwards, the eunuch's voice came from behind: "Oh, my Lord, please walk slower, be careful of getting hurt!"
The only people in the palace who are called "Master" are the princes, and there is no doubt that the two children who bumped into Zhu Jinghong are them.
The two people who were laughing and joking just now were as reserved as a mouse when it saw a cat. They took two steps back and stood still.
"Brother Thirteen!"
These two people are the fourteenth prince Zhu Jingchun and the fifteenth prince Zhu Jinghao. They were both born in the thirteenth year of Taiping, but one was born in March and the other in September.
Looking at the two younger brothers in front of him, Zhu Jinghong said with a straight face: "You are so frizzy, what a shame!"
Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun are only one year younger than Zhu Jinghong, but they are quite different from the eldest brother in terms of physique, and they seem to be much smaller.
"Brother Thirteen, don't be angry. I'll get something good for you later!" Zhu Jingchun said with an apologetic smile.
Zhu Jinghao on the side also said: "Brother Thirteen, I also have something good. I didn't give it to Third Sister if she wanted it a few days ago, so I was planning to leave it to you!"
The three of them all live in Chengmingyuan and go to school together on weekdays. Their relationship is actually very good.
"Good stuff? It's not just pens, inks, paper and inkstones. I don't care about them!" Zhu Jinghong was full of disdain.
For a rough guy like him, no matter how good the pen or ink is, it makes no difference. It will be a waste if he uses it, so he really doesn't care.
"No way, my little brother got it a month ago..."
Seeing that Zhu Jingchun was about to show off, Zhu Jinghong said impatiently: "Okay, okay, it's not over yet, why aren't you in the school?"
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong also laid out his elder brother's profile and asked about his two younger brothers' studies.
Just listen to Zhu Jingchun explain: "Sir, we have made great progress in our studies these days, so as long as we complete the course for the day, we can go back to the dormitory to review on our own!"
"Great progress? Just because of you guys?" Zhu Jinghong didn't believe it. He knew the virtues of these two people very well.
"Sir said..." Zhu Jinghao hesitated.
"say what?"
"I dare not say it!"
"If you fart, let it go. Do you want to be beaten?" After saying this, Zhu Jinghong also rolled up his sleeves.
Zhu Jinghao had no choice but to say honestly: "Sir, he said... we were both talented people, but it was because Brother Thirteen led us astray!"
"My husband also said that we should have less contact with you in the future!" Zhu Jingchun added.
After hearing this, Zhu Jinghong was immediately furious. The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy were too bold to arrange it for him like this.
"You two are really honest people!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
If before he traveled through time, his predecessor would definitely argue with the bachelor after hearing these words, and Zhu Jingchun and the two would be able to fish in troubled waters again.
In other words, what these two people are talking about now is to encourage Zhu Jinghong to go to school so that they can continue to live their lives.
The children of the royal family are very clever at a young age. It can be said that none of them are simple.
Being stared at by Zhu Jinghong at this moment, Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun felt panicked and felt that Brother Thirteen was different from before.
"Are you still thinking of letting me go to the school to make a scene so that you can be lazy?"
"Brother Thirteen, please listen to my explanation, that's not what we meant..." Zhu Jingchun quickly defended.
Zhu Jinghong didn't want to listen to their nonsense: "It's not the best. Disappear quickly. I'll get angry when I see you!"
"Yes, let's go now, let's go now!"
Although these two people are playing tricks, they are not bad in nature, otherwise they would have been beaten to death by their predecessors.
Seeing these two unlucky brothers leave, Zhu Jinghong, who had used his authority, felt a lot more relaxed and felt more confident to go to Qianqing Palace.
After passing through several palace gates, Zhu Jinghong soon arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, where he saw two officials kneeling.
Such scenes are not uncommon. Generally speaking, officials who have made mistakes want to beg the emperor for mercy and forgiveness.
After getting closer, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw clearly the patches on the official uniforms of these two people: "It's really strange for these two people to kneel here together, a first-grade military attache and a fifth-grade civil servant!"
After getting closer, Zhu Jinghong asked: "Who are you?"
Hearing the voice coming from behind, the Jia brothers who were waiting to be summoned couldn't help but look back.
Zhu Jinghong did not recognize the Jia brothers, but these two knew him.
"Your Majesty Jia She (Jia Zheng), pays homage to the Thirteenth Master!"
Zhu Jinghong was stunned for a moment. He never expected that it would be these two people.
"What are you..." Zhu Jinghong looked confused.
The Jia family is now in cold storage. Jia She only received the fictitious title of General Shenwei. Without any actual duties, he rarely entered the palace except to attend court meetings on time.
Seeing the confusion on Zhu Jinghong's face, Jia She replied: "The Holy One was so angry last night that I came here to apologize!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: "Excuse me? What crime do you have? It was just a misunderstanding last night!"
It was the internal fighting within the royal family that caused a series of troubles last night, but in Zhu Jinghong's view, the fact that the emperor scolded the Jia family on the spot meant that the matter was over.
Now that Jia She and the two have come to plead guilty, this does not mean that the old matter is brought up again, but it may bring trouble to the family.
However, this is from his perspective. The Jia family, who were already rejected by the royal family, had different results due to their way of thinking about problems and their positioning of themselves.
Just listen to Jia She's reply: "The Holy One is so angry, how can I not come to apologize!"
Having had his power as a housekeeper taken away, and having been agreed to resign by his clan, Jia Zheng was in a low mood at the moment, so it was Jia She who always answered.
"How long have you been waiting?"
"It's been half an hour!" Jia She felt helpless.
Since the emperor did not summon him and there was no oral instruction, they could only wait.
"If you wait a little longer, lunch will be served soon. I have nothing to do right now... I will help you bring the memorial in!" Zhu Jinghong looked enthusiastic.
He was also worried about the reason for the audience, so he just followed the trend and wanted to help the Jia brothers bring the memorial into the palace.
"Master Thirteen, how can this be done!"
Zhu Jinghong said solemnly: "What can't you do? Just bring it to me!"
"this……"
"Bring it here, it's just a matter of convenience. If you keep doing this, I don't know how long you'll have to wait!"
Hearing this, Jia She was full of gratitude and said: "Thank you, Thirteenth Master!"
The two handed the memorial out. After Zhu Jinghong got it, he didn't say anything more and walked straight into the palace gate.
Others need to wait outside the palace gate, but as the legitimate son, he does not need to. He only needs to report when entering the main hall.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong disappear, Jia She sighed and said, "Fortunately, with the help of the Thirteenth Master, the confession was finally handed in!"
"Master Thirteen is a good man!"
While Jia She was sighing with emotion, Jia Zheng on the side was thinking more.
In his opinion, Zhu Jinghong's willingness to help was most likely the result of the prince's instruction.
In other words, the Jia family has been deeply valued by the prince, and will inevitably be involved in the heir apparent, even if they want to avoid it.
