Qiu Liang is the father of General Qiu Hong. He is currently the Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities. He commands more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command and is responsible for security patrols within the capital.
Being able to manage so many soldiers and horses in the capital shows that Qiu Liang is the emperor's absolute confidant.
"Dad, what are you..."
"Qiu Liang is in charge of the city's defense. Naturally, he has to give his opinion on your so-called strict plan!"
Zhu Jinghong nodded, this is indeed what it should be.
Qiu Liang came from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, plus he was waiting to discuss matters later, so it would take half an hour to get started.
If you wait like this, you will never feel comfortable going back and chatting with Ke Qing. Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Old Thirteen, what's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Zhu Jinghong immediately said: "Dad... my son is fine, he is just thinking about the military parade!"
Now that he was doing business, Zhu Jinghong would naturally put aside the love between his children. Anyway, he only had a few months left in this kind of monk class.
Just bear with it now and let him play with it in the future. When the time comes, you can find as many beauties as you want.
When Zhu Jinghong lamented the strict confinement of the palace, Baochai found Chengmingyuan wearing a cloak.
Zhu Jinghong was playing chess with him just now, but he left the sachet behind when he left. She brought it here specially.
After this period of time together, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. Although they bickered and bickered constantly when they met, Baochai was already deeply in love.
As long as you meet the right person, everything will fall into place. The key lies in the right person.
The young eunuchs on duty at the gate of Chengmingyuan stopped chatting when they saw Baochai arriving, and one of them quickly walked down the steps to greet him.
"Miss Xue, Master Thirteen is not here!"
"I can't come if he's not here?"
Hearing this, the young eunuch scratched his ears and then smiled and said: "Of course she can come. Our Thirteenth Master is looking forward to the girl coming every day!"
These words are true, how can Baochai keep it on her face, she is a serious girl.
Baochai raised a serious face and said, "You're talking nonsense again. Be careful, I'll tell Master Thirteen and let him punish you!"
"Girl, calm down, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore!" The young eunuch looked frightened. He was really afraid of being sued.
Thinking of what he had just said at this moment, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why did he talk nonsense about nothing?
Baochai still had a straight face and said, "It's good to know. If you don't do it next time, you won't be spared!"
"Thank you for your forgiveness, girl!"
Since Zhu Jinghong was not here, just when Baochai was about to hand the sachet to the young eunuch, he heard painful sounds coming from the courtyard.
"What happened inside?"
"Oh... they are the people Eunuch Deng was ordered to bring back. They seem to be the children of officials from the Ministry of Industry. They were imprisoned in the East Factory for some unknown reason!"
"Children of officials from the Ministry of Industry?"
Feeling suspicious, Baochai looked inside the gate and happened to see Keqing walking into the yard.
As expected, there is such a beautiful person in the world... This is Baochai's first impression of Keqing.
The last time she was so amazed was when she first met Lin Daiyu in Rongguo Mansion.
Originally, she had planned to leave, but she didn't want to leave after meeting this person. She wanted to find out the details of the person in the courtyard.
As for why he wanted to investigate, Baochai himself couldn't explain. He just felt sad and a little more resentful towards Zhu Jinghong.
"I'll go in and take a look!"
"Girl please!"
Entering the courtyard, Keqing also noticed Baochai. She had been confident in her appearance since she was a child, and when she saw Baochai, she felt that he was the same as her.
There is no way, no matter how rich a woman is, what she cares about most is her beauty. When she meets a well-matched opponent, she will unconsciously compete with her appearance.
With a soft smile on his face, Baochai stopped when he was five steps away from Keqing.
"Is there an old relationship between the girl and the Thirteenth Master?" Baochai was worried and naturally asked this question first.
He couldn't figure out Baochai's identity, but Keqing could feel that she was not hostile, so he answered truthfully: "The Thirteenth Master has a warm heart in ancient times. He has helped the little girl's family before. Now my sister and brother are behind bars, and they are covered with misfortune." Third Master rescues us from trouble!"
It was Zhu Jinghong who took the initiative to help. Baochai became even more sad when she heard this. She thought she was the only one who had such treatment.
Does he have to take good care of all the beautiful women in the world?
The more Baochai thought about it, the angrier she became, but she still had a slight smile on her face, and then asked: "I haven't asked the girl for her name yet!"
This question seemed a bit rash, but fortunately Baochai was also a cardamom girl, so Keqing didn't think much about it.
"The little girl's surname is Qin!"
After all, she was not familiar with the person in front of her, so Ke Qing only said her last name.
However, Baochai learned a lot and remembered what the young eunuch had just said, and he immediately guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
"Are you the daughter of Qin Ye, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry?"
"You...how did you find out?" Ke Qing was deeply surprised.
"I have an old relationship with Master Thirteen, and I heard him mention your family!" Baochai made up a random reason.
To marry a woman with such appearance, no wonder the Jia family is unwilling to break off the engagement...
Just as Baochai was thinking about this, he heard Keqing say: "Master Thirteen has taken care of me many times. Please let me tell you that the little girl is very grateful to him!"
Grateful? I'm afraid that what that guy wants is to repay the favor... The more I think about Baochai, the more uncomfortable I feel.
"Yes...he is such a good person!" Baochai said in a yin and yang tone.
Sensing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Qing did not continue and asked instead: "I haven't asked the girl for her name yet!"
"My surname is Xue, and I am currently serving as the princess's attendant!"
Hearing this, Keqing also knew Baochai's identity, so his face became ugly, and his eyes towards Baochai were full of wariness.
When the Qin family was entangled with the Jia family before, Xue Baochai had just been successfully selected as an attendant and was mentioned by Qin Ye as a relative of the Jia family.
Baochai announced that her surname was Xue and that she was the princess's attendant, but Qing could easily determine her identity.
"It turns out to be Miss Xue!" Ke Qing's tone suddenly changed, as if she was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Baochai's senses were sharp, and he immediately discovered the clue, and asked with a smile: "Miss Qin, do you know me?"
"Although Miss Xue has come all the way from afar, she is highly valued by the Empress and outshines all the noble daughters in the capital. How could I not know!"
If Baochai was said to be yin and yang just now, Keqing's words would be called yin and yang, because the resentment in her heart was even greater.
Baochai walked around behind Ke Qing. Baochai smiled and said, "It's just a fluke. I can't deserve such praise from the girl. Don't you have to be valued by the Thirteenth Master and take care of your Qin family in every possible way?"
Baochai's words had a certain meaning. How could Keqing, who regarded himself as innocent, endure it? He immediately replied: "Huh... The Thirteenth Master has a warm heart in ancient times. Helping people in need is just normal. How can he take care of my Qin family!"
After hearing this, Baochai was touched by her heartstrings and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes... maybe there will be others in the future!"
At this moment, Qin Zhong's wound in the wing had been treated, and the imperial doctor came out accompanied by Deng An.
But Qing left Baochai behind, went up to her and said gratefully, "Thank you very much!"
I only heard the imperial doctor reply: "Girl, there is no need to say thank you. It's just a skin injury. It will only take a few days to heal!"
Deng An looked at Baochai from a distance and immediately came forward: "Miss Xue, when did you come? No one told me, you deserve to be ignored!"
Baochai smiled and said: "It's okay to neglect me. If you neglect this girl, your Thirteenth Master will not punish you!"
"This..." Deng An didn't know why, and he felt strange hearing these words.
"Girl, I'll send the doctor out first!"
"Go!"
After Keqing thanked him, Deng An led the imperial doctor out, and there were only two women left in the hospital.
Looking at Keqing who glared at him and was about to turn around and enter the room, Baochai couldn't help but ask: "Why is the girl so hostile to me?"
