Under the escort of the flag-bearing soldiers, Zhu Jinghong entered the capital from the north and then entered the imperial city.
When he arrived outside Kunning Gate, half an hour had passed, which showed the scale of the imperial city.
When he entered Kunning Gate, the Queen was nowhere to be seen in the yard. She was usually pruning flowers and plants here.
"My mother asked me to come here, why isn't she there?"
"Go back to the Thirteenth Master. Your Majesty is in the back hall, drinking tea and talking to a few imperial concubines!"
After hearing the report, Zhu Jinghong asked: "Oh... the queen called me here, why?"
"This...slave doesn't know!"
Since there are foreign ministers here at this moment, Zhu Jinghong can't just barge in.
At this time, he should have made the announcement and waited for the Queen's summons.
But he didn't do this, just because he was not in a hurry and planned to see his sister first.
"Is Third Sister here?"
"Back to Thirteenth Master, the princess is practicing calligraphy in her room!"
"I'll go and see her first. There's no need to tell the queen about my coming!"
"yes!"
After dismissing the young eunuch, Zhu Jinghong walked towards Zhu Yunsheng's residence.
Kunning Palace is a large courtyard, and Zhu Yunsheng lives in the east side hall.
There is a large space in the side hall, with more than a dozen rooms such as study rooms and bedrooms. Several attendants will also live here in the future.
After entering the main hall of the side hall and signaling the maid on duty to be silent, Zhu Jinghong carefully walked into the corridor and came to the door of the study.
Looking in quietly from the outside, I saw Zhu Yunsheng, wearing a light green short-breasted jacket, sitting on a chair writing with a pen, and beside him was Yang Jingting who was studying ink.
This girl is quite decent when she is serious... Zhu Jinghong secretly praised her.
After watching for more than ten seconds, none of the serious people inside noticed the situation, so Zhu Jinghong pretended to clear his throat.
"uh-huh……"
Hearing the noise, the two people in the study were alarmed. They looked up and saw Zhu Jinghong.
"Brother Thirteen!"
Putting down his pen, Zhu Yunsheng stood up and walked around the desk, approaching Zhu Jinghong.
"Brother Thirteen, why are you here!"
"Of course I came here specifically to see you!"
"Come to see me empty-handed?" Zhu Yunsheng asked with a smile.
"Forehead……"
There was no way to continue talking today, and Zhu Jinghong couldn't find anything to say for a while.
Seeing his deflated look, Zhu Yunsheng laughed out loud, and then said: "Brother Thirteen, just leave your hands empty. I'm used to it anyway!"
"Third sister, brother, I am detained in the palace now. I eat and drink just like you. I want to give you something, but you don't like it!"
"If you really want it, follow me to Chengmingyuan later. You can take whatever you like!" Zhu Jinghong said solemnly.
Zhu Yunsheng curled his lips: "You are full of swords, guns and clubs, not even a few books... What can I get? I think I'd better forget it!"
Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Zhu Jinghong patted his chest and said, "Third sister, when my brother goes out, just tell me what you want, and I will get it for you if I can!"
Hearing what Zhu Jinghong said, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but become curious. This was not something Brother Thirteen would say.
Being stared at by Zhu Yunsheng, Zhu Jinghong thought there was something on his face, so he couldn't help but wipe his face with his hands.
"Brother Thirteen, you have nothing to do to show your courtesy... Do you have anything to do with me?"
Sure enough, no one born in an emperor's family is simple... Zhu Jinghong sighed secretly, and at the same time excluded Zhu Jingyuan.
"Third sister, I really have something to tell you!"
"Say it!"
Glancing at Yang Jingting in the room, Zhu Jinghong whispered: "Let's go out and talk!"
"It's mysterious, just go out and tell it!"
After Zhu Yunsheng finished speaking, he greeted Yang Jingting and walked out first, followed immediately by Zhu Jinghong.
Arriving at the corridor outside, after Zhu Jinghong retreated, Zhu Jinghong looked at our biological sister and asked very solemnly: "Third sister, tell the truth... How does Brother Thirteen treat you?"
Zhu Yunsheng was extremely surprised by such a serious question and did not understand Zhu Jinghong's intention.
"Brother Thirteen, if you have something to say, just say it. If you say this, you are heresy!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.
Seeing that she didn't want to follow the path, Zhu Jinghong didn't force himself, so he put away his seriousness and showed a smile: "Third sister, I have a small favor... I want you to help me!"
"What's the deal?" Zhu Yunsheng became even more curious.
"Um... I'll personally select the attendants in two days. Can you be there in person and choose one of the girls from the Xue family!" Zhu Jinghong said a little coyly.
After hearing this, Zhu Yunsheng said quietly: "There are four attendants in total, the Supreme Emperor, the Father, the Queen... they have all arranged for people. There is only such a quota left. The thirteenth brother also wants to make the decision for me?"
These words were expressed calmly, but Zhu Jinghong was speechless.
The arrangement between the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor and empress certainly cannot be overturned, so there is indeed only one spot left.
If Zhu Jinghong still takes advantage of it, it would be very unfair to Zhu Yunsheng.
"Third sister, then... um..."
Zhu Jinghong originally wanted to praise Baochai, but he couldn't find the right words for a while. Talent, learning, and appearance were a matter of opinion, so using it as an argument was not very convincing.
They all swore to promise, but now that things can't be done, wouldn't they lose their prestige?
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong became more helpless and couldn't think of a solution for a while.
Seeing that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Zhu Yunsheng said: "Brother Thirteen, sister, I am not a hard-hearted person. I can't help you with this..."
"Hmm...what? Really?" Zhu Jinghong was overjoyed.
"I just helped you. If I ask you for anything in the future, don't ignore it!"
Hope appeared. How could Zhu Jinghong not grasp it firmly and immediately said: "Third sister, who do you think Brother Thirteen is? You are my biological sister!"
"If there's anything you need to do, as long as Brother Thirteen can do it, you can just give me the order!"
"really?"
"Seriously!" Zhu Jinghong said firmly.
Zhu Yunsheng looked around and whispered: "I have something to do recently and I want to ask you for a favor!"
This made Zhu Jinghong feel bad, but he still had to bite the bullet and replied: "Third sister, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to be polite between us!"
"I heard that Brother Thirteen can go in and out of the imperial city. Now he is leading errands in Shanglinyuan. My sister also wants to go out for a walk!"
From birth to now, Zhu Yunsheng has spent most of his time in Kunning Palace, and his largest area of activity is the palace.
Although the palace is large, it will feel small after staying there for a long time, so Zhu Yunsheng is very curious about the outside of the palace walls, and it is not surprising that he wants to go outside.
"This... is not impossible!" Zhu Jing said nonsense.
"really?"
"Really!" Zhu Jinghong felt a little difficult when he said these two words for the second time.
At this moment, he could finally understand how Prince Zhu Jinghong felt when he secretly ran out in Jinling.
"Then it's settled, I'll help you!"
"Um!"
Zhu Jinghong was a little distracted. He was worried that the emperor's affairs would be exposed and he would be beaten to death by the emperor's old man.
"Brother Thirteen, aren't you afraid anymore?"
Fearing that Zhu Jinghong would regret it, Zhu Yunsheng resorted to provoking the general.
"I'm afraid? What am I afraid of?"
Even if he was afraid, Zhu Jinghong had to pretend to be fat because he didn't want to break his trust.
"Brother Thirteen is upright, naturally he is not afraid of anything!"
Zhu Yunsheng held his hand in time and asked: "Brother Thirteen, why did you recommend that girl from the Xue family?"
"Because her family saved my life, I promised to help her choose an attendant!"
"I see……"
Just when Zhu Yunsheng was about to ask for details, he saw a young eunuch rushing towards him and reported: "Thirteenth Master, the Queen, please come over!"
