There is no doubt that Qiqige's behavior shocked everyone present.
But when they thought that the other party was a foreigner, everyone present didn't think it was strange, but their mood was different.
For example, Zhu Yunsheng, Yuanchun and others are just out of curiosity and just want to see what Qiqige does. After all, such things are rare.
Zhen Qin, on the other hand, felt sad and regretted that she did not have the courage to step forward to greet Zhu Jinghong.
Yang Jingting, who seldom spoke, was lamenting Qiqige's frivolity at this moment, and secretly sighed that she still had a lot to teach her in the future.
As for Xue Baochai, who got rid of Zhu Jinghong's harassment and sat back down, he was a little jealous.
"You want to drink with me?" Zhu Jinghong said this after a while.
"That's right... I heard that Master Thirteen is the best warrior in the Ming Dynasty. The little girl admires him, so she came to ask for advice!"
After saying this, Qiqige filled herself a glass and looked at the surprised Zhu Jinghong.
"Haha...Okay, I'll have a drink with you!"
Having said this, Zhu Jinghong glanced at Baochai, who rejected him, and said: "It seems... the girl is a hero among women!"
Hearing these seemingly pointed words, Baochai turned her head unconsciously, just in time to meet Yang Jingting's gaze.
At this moment, Yang Jingting also had complicated eyes and an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
When she first arrived in the palace, she was wary of everything, so she had no intention of being romantically involved, even though she knew her aunt's purpose in calling her to the palace.
But now that he had stayed in the palace for a long time, Zhu Jinghong often went to the princess's bedroom. During the contact, Yang Jingting's mentality changed.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, when she is first in love, naturally hopes to get Zhu Jinghong's attention. After all, normally this will be her future husband.
However, the problem is that every time Zhu Jinghong goes to Kunning Palace, he is devoted to Baochai, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
This kind of thinking surprised her, and sometimes she even asked herself where the tutoring and etiquette teachings had gone over the years.
"Come... let's have a drink!" Zhu Jinghong clinked glasses with Qi Qige.
The two drank it all in one gulp, feeling heroic.
"Master Thirteen, I heard that you are the best warrior in the Ming Dynasty?"
This was the second time Qiqige said this. Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Who told you this?"
Before Qi Qige could reply, Zhen Qin stood up and said excitedly: "I, I...I said it. Who doesn't know that the Thirteenth Master bravely wins the three armies!"
"I know, please sit down first!"
Zhu Jinghong's reaction was mediocre, which made Zhen Qin feel discouraged. Could it be that she didn't praise her well enough? It seems that I will prepare carefully next time.
"The Ming Dynasty has billions of people, and there are countless heroes among them. I dare not call them the number one warrior!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
Seeing Zhu Jinghong's "cowardice", Qi Qige couldn't help but feel contempt. She already thought that the man in front of her had no real ability and was probably promoted by someone below.
"Even if he is not number one, I think the Thirteenth Master is also proficient in archery and horsemanship. Isn't he skilled in horse riding and archery?"
Hearing Qi Qige's contempt, Zhu Jinghong didn't take it seriously. He didn't want to get angry with the woman.
"good!"
Unexpectedly, Qiqige said: "Since Master Thirteen is praised by so many people, I want to ask for advice!"
"You? Ask me for advice?"
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong finally came to his senses with a smile on his face.
Qiqige also grew up on a horse, and was raised as a boy since she was a child. She is really good at bow and horse, so she wanted to challenge Zhu Jinghong.
"Could it be that Thirteenth Master doesn't dare?"
To be honest, Qiqige's words were too bold, but fortunately Zhu Jinghong was open-minded and didn't take them seriously.
"You are so bad. Wouldn't I be laughed at if I competed with you? If we really want to compete... let's find the strongest person in Junggar!"
After saying that, Zhu Jinghong turned around and put the wine jar in his hand back on the table.
"Our tribe's warriors don't care about the severity of our actions. We are only afraid of hurting the Thirteenth Master!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong smiled, then pinched the corner of the table and broke the wood, and a crisp "bang" sound was heard on the scene.
As an expert, Qi Qige knew with just this move that she had underestimated the Thirteenth Master. There were probably not many people in the world who could achieve such terrifying strength.
As for Baochai Yuanchun and others, they were not too surprised by this, because they knew how powerful Zhu Jinghong was.
Looking at Qiqige with a dull expression, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "I'm also afraid of hurting them!"
Turning around, Zhu Jinghong returned to his seat, ignoring Qiqige who was stunned, and started talking to his two nephews.
"Uncle Thirteen, you are so awesome!"
"Uncle Thirteen, how did you do this?"
Picking up the dishes and putting them into his mouth, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
In this way, after the drunken prince was helped down, everyone talked for a while and then left.
Seeing that Zhu Yunsheng was about to leave, Zhu Jinghong also said goodbye, and the brother and sister walked out of the East Palace together.
Night had fallen at this moment, and lanterns were lit on both sides of the palace road. In addition, the guiding eunuchs were holding lanterns, so they could not see the road clearly.
Originally, Zhu Yunsheng could take a sedan chair, but she liked the unrestrained feeling and chose to walk back to the palace.
Walking beside him, he felt that his sister was in a low mood. Zhu Jinghong could only ask: "Third sister... didn't you have a good time today?"
Zhu Yunsheng shook her head, but her expression betrayed her.
"Then why are you unhappy?"
Stopping, Zhu Yunsheng looked at his brother beside him and said with a disappointed expression: "Brother Thirteen, you will be leaving the palace in a few months. We will rarely see each other again in the future!"
Zhu Jinghong didn't expect that his words would make his little sister so worried. It seemed that the little girl really couldn't bear to leave him.
Who knows the next moment, Zhu Yunsheng continued: "From now on... who will take me everywhere to play!"
Zhu Jinghong was ready to comfort him, but at this moment he had to swallow it all, and at the same time secretly thought that he was overthinking.
"Third sister, such a big palace is not enough for you to play in?" Zhu Jinghong said with a sneer.
"Although the palace is huge, I have visited all of it. I have not been to Xiyuan a few times, and I have never been to Shanglin Garden even once!"
"Brother Thirteen, I'm so pitiful... Even though I'm a princess, I can't go anywhere!"
Listening to Zhu Yunsheng crying miserably, Zhu Jinghong always felt that she had ulterior motives, so he simply didn't say a word.
Seeing that his elder brother didn't speak, Zhu Yunsheng had no choice but to say: "Brother Thirteen, tell yourself...how has my sister treated you these years?"
After picking his ears, Zhu Jinghong felt that these words sounded familiar.
"Third sister, if you have something to say, just say it!"
"Brother Thirteen, you are about to leave the palace and open a mansion. Before that... can you take me to Shanglin Garden for a walk?"
Compared with Xiyuan, Shanglin Garden is just outside the imperial city, so it is extremely risky to take Zhu Yunsheng there.
It's not about his personal safety, but Zhu Jinghong is likely to be punished by the imperial staff. The old man in Qianqing Palace is very hard-hearted.
"Third sister, you are making things difficult for me!" Zhu Jinghong wanted to refuse politely.
"You and I have a deep love for each other as brothers and sisters, and you can't even agree to this?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunsheng said with profound meaning: "Then from now on... we brothers and sisters should not meet each other, we are already so different anyway!"
"Sister Bao, do you think so?"
Baochai originally thought it was quite interesting to watch the two brothers and sisters perform, but unexpectedly, she was also pulled into the water.
"Princess, how can the Thirteenth Master be a heartless person? I think I will help you achieve your wish!" Baochai said this without saltiness.
Just listen to Zhu Jinghong say: "Miss Xue said it well, how can a good brother like me not satisfy my sister's wish!"
Zhu Jinghong said this while looking at Baochai, who immediately turned his head to the side and cursed "You are a disciple" in his heart.
