In the East Palace, Yuanchun entered the inner chamber.
After returning to the room, she kicked out all the eunuchs and maids, and ordered people to close all the doors and windows.
Then she smiled, and then started dancing, her joy was beyond words.
Only in this no-man's land can she be so relaxed. She usually has a mature and steady image.
"The Crown Princess...this is the Crown Princess!" Yuanchun murmured in a low voice.
Her current situation is similar to Fan Jin's, but to a much lesser extent.
However, Yuanchun's abnormal behavior attracted Wang Yi's attention.
Feeling itchy and unbearable, Wang Yi led people outside Yuanchun's palace.
"Your Majesty... our Majesty said we won't see any outsiders today!"
"Why don't you see outsiders? Am I a outsider? Get out of the way..."
Although they had Yuan Chun's orders, the palace ladies could not stop Wang Yi, who led people directly into the courtyard.
Just when she was about to order someone to call the door, the main door of the hall slowly opened, and Yuan Chun appeared inside with an indifferent expression.
Wang Yi looked Yuan Chun up and down, always feeling that something was not right about him today, his eyes were much sharper than before.
"Sister, why did you come back and lock yourself in the room? Did you make some mistake and was scolded by your mother?" Wang Yi asked with a fake smile.
Yuanchun was not used to her, and said coldly: "You are too lenient. What does it have to do with you where I stay?"
Although they usually bickered, Yuan Chun was obviously more energetic today, leaving Wang Yi at a loss.
"Why is sister so angry? Sister is also caring about you..."
Before Wang Yi finished speaking, Yuan Chun scolded: "I'm not that lucky. You should pay more attention to yourself and get rid of those bad habits of yours!"
These words had a certain meaning. Even the palace people present noticed Yuan Chun's abnormality. The quarrels had never been so noisy in the past.
"you……"
The two women here are chatting, while at the other end of the palace, today's court meeting has ended, and civil and military officials are exiting one after another.
"Thirteenth brother, you didn't go to class?"
At the palace gate, Zhu Jingyuan, who had finished his court meeting, met Zhu Jinghong who was going to Qianqing Palace.
"Fourth brother, I know my own rules...don't worry!" Zhu Jinghong didn't care.
As the elder brother, Zhu Jingyuan felt that he needed to remind you, so he said, "Dad is going to give you a test in the next two days. You don't know, right?"
"Of course I know!"
"Then why are you running around when you're not ready for birth?"
Seeing that his brother was really worried about him, Zhu Jinghong replied seriously: "Dad wants to arrange errands for me, how can I take care of it!"
"Dad arranged errands for you again?" Zhu Jingyuan was extremely surprised.
"Dad said that I have done well in military training, and he plans to let me continue training... You said this old man, you don't like me and you still ask me to do errands!"
Zhu Jingyuan felt particularly uncomfortable when he heard Zhu Jinghong's Versailles language.
Since returning from Jinling, he has not been sent on any errands. His daily task is to read old memorials and then write down his thoughts and sum up his experiences.
Although Zhu Jingyuan could accept such a day, it really felt too boring. At this moment, he naturally envied Zhu Jinghong for being excluded.
He was training troops to be reviewed, and he was playing basketball to show off his power. Now Zhu Jinghong's name was known to everyone inside and outside the capital.
Who doesn't know that the current thirteenth son of the Holy Emperor has outstanding martial arts skills and the courage of the overlord of Western Chu, and has boosted the national prestige for the Ming Dynasty.
"Thirteenth brother, since dad values you very much, you have to do your job well and don't let him down!"
Spreading his hands, Zhu Jinghong replied: "I can only say that I will do my best!"
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you. These days, there are censors impeaching you, and there are at least twenty or thirty memorials!"
"Oh, I see!"
Zhu Jinghong still reacted indifferently, which made Zhu Jingyuan feel that his worries were in vain.
But Zhu Jinghong really doesn't care. He has already had a lot of lice and is no longer itchy. Those people can impeach them as much as they like!
A few years ago, every time there was an impeachment by the imperial censor, Zhu Jinghong would be reprimanded in mild cases, or even beaten with a cane in more severe cases, but he would not change despite repeated admonitions.
Now even the emperor has become numb, and now he simply keeps them all in the center, leaving these memorials without any follow-up.
In contrast, as long as Zhu Jingyuan is impeached, he will definitely be scolded, which is much worse than Zhu Jinghong.
"Thirteenth brother... what are you talking about in a whisper? Why don't you call sixth brother over?"
Seeing the sixth brother coming over, in order not to let himself be passive, Zhu Jinghong said first: "Brother Six... I have something to ask you!"
Zhu Jingyuan said goodbye to the accompanying officials, came to Zhu Jinghong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You promised to send me a good horse. It's been more than a month, why is there still no result?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan's heart suddenly tightened. What he was most afraid of was that his younger brother would ask this.
Again, a good war horse is easy to get, but a good horse suitable for a fierce man like Zhu Jinghong is really rare.
"Brother Six, you have great powers, it will be easy to find a horse!"
"Could it be that...you think good horses are too expensive and you can't bear to spend the money?"
Zhu Jingyuan really couldn't give in to the last sentence.
He, Zhu Jingyuan, was a wise king, and he had a reputation for being generous with his wealth. He was generous even to outsiders, so how could he be stingy with his own brother?
"Thirteenth Brother, how can Sixth Brother be reluctant to part with money? It's just that a good horse worthy of you is really rare to find..."
"Sixth brother can't...just find a few horses to fool you!"
Hearing these words, before Zhu Jinghong could speak, the prince beside him couldn't sit still.
"Thirteenth brother, it's just a horse. When fourth brother finds it for you, why bother to go to such trouble!"
"Fourth brother, that's not what I said. To be worthy of thirteenth brother..."
Seeing the two people arguing, Zhu Jinghong cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, tell me, I have to take a step in advance!"
After saying that, Zhu Jinghong walked away quickly, and the two people there had no intention of talking. They each snorted coldly and left.
According to the emperor's arrangement, today will convene a meeting with the bodyguards and generals to discuss the training of soldiers.
As the initiator of the event, Zhu Jinghong naturally had to attend the meeting and introduce military training matters in detail to the generals present.
In other words, today's high-level military meeting will be an opportunity for him to show off personally.
As soon as the court meeting ended, the emperor still had to meet with the cabinet ministers, and then summoned the six ministries and nine ministers to discuss matters.
These people were discussing national affairs, which had a higher priority than Zhu Jinghong's, so even if he arrived at Qianqing Palace, he could only wait outside the palace gate.
He could have waited inside the Qianqing Palace, but in the end he chose to wait outside the door.
A group of generals had to wait outside, and he could just talk to them and discuss the matter outside of the court meeting.
The first to arrive were the guards and military commanders. Zhu Jinghong knew most of these people, and someone would naturally introduce them to them after they arrived. After a while, everyone started laughing and joking.
It is also because Zhu Jinghongli's character design is appropriate, which naturally makes the generals feel close to him, otherwise they will inevitably be alienated and separated.
As personal soldiers, the Twenty-Two Guards of Shangzhi were the army that the emperor valued most. They received the most generous treatment and the most sophisticated weapons. They were considered the strongest soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing is that this army is not just a show-off, but participates in the rotation of defense on the border normally, with five guards deployed outside at any time.
So today, apart from the imperial guards and the flag-bearing guards, only fifteen commanders were present.
However, what surprised Zhu Jinghong was that this meeting was of a higher level than he had imagined.
"Thirteenth Master, I am so lucky to be able to listen to your wise words today!"
Zhu Jinghong turned around, and the person who came was none other than Niu Jizong, the left governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, one of the highest-ranking military generals in the Ming Dynasty.
