Zhu Jinghong really didn't pay much attention to a mere girl.
But out of respect for his sister, Zhu Jinghong still chose to go to Kunning Palace. After all, she was his own sister!
When he rushed to Kunning Palace, Baochai and others were having a fight outside the house, including the noble princess.
While everyone was having fun, a female official walked out of the main hall of Kunning Palace. When they saw her coming out to make fun, everyone stopped.
"Miss Xue, the empress calls you in!"
When she heard that it was Zhao Baochai, Zhu Yunsheng's heart dropped. She was afraid that her old mother would interfere with her play.
"yes!"
In response, Baochai turned to Zhu Yunsheng and said: "Princess..."
"Go on, go on, you go and say a few words to my mother, just say that we are all fine and she doesn't need to worry about us!"
Baochai nodded, and then walked into the main hall, but the people outside resumed their fights.
Only Yang Jingting was stunned in the yard, looking at Baochai's back with a little loss.
I don't know since when, her biological aunt has been very alienated from her, and now she rarely summons her niece alone.
At this moment, Zhen Qin reminded: "Sister Ting, run quickly... the princess is here to catch you!"
Baochai, who was having fun outside, entered the palace, but already appeared in front of the Queen's desk.
After he saluted, the queen raised her eyes and said, "Sheng'er has been doing well in school in recent days, and I have not strictly controlled her, but you can't relax!"
"This girl has a lively mind and is thinking about weird things all day long. You are acting cautiously and carefully, but you should pay more attention to her!"
"yes!"
Baochai responded, but her heart was particularly tangled.
After all, Zhu Yunsheng was urging him to go sledding right now, and she didn't know whether to say it or not.
"The princess' studies are set by the emperor's decree. The princess is very talented and has been completed one after another. There is no need to worry, the emperor!"
After staring at Baochai for a while, when the latter lowered his head, he heard the queen say: "Even you told me these empty words!"
In fact, Baochai knew that what the queen wanted was her attitude, not nonsense statements about the truth.
"My queen's teachings should be followed by my daughter!"
After Baochai finished speaking, there was a strong cold wind outside the house. It actually blew open a corner of the closed window, and the wind suddenly swept into the room.
This frightened the attendant maids, and they all hurriedly closed the windows and checked whether the other windows were locked.
The most angry person was the female officer who was the foreman today.
Although she didn't curse out loud at this moment, she was already thinking about how to teach these frivolous girls the next day.
Not to mention how busy the maids were, Baochai had already bent down and picked up a page of manuscript paper on the ground.
The manuscript paper flew from the Queen's desk, and now there was only a small title, only six words: "Edict to establish the Crown Princess."
These six words were so conspicuous that it was difficult for Baochai not to see them, and the content of these six words also frightened her.
Just because the matter of appointing a crown princess was too important, she thought of many things for a while.
Of course, while his thoughts were racing, Baochai also returned the manuscript paper to the desk.
At this time Yang Qingyin asked: "Have you seen everything?"
It was obvious that the change in Baochai's expression was all seen in the eyes of the queen.
"Reply to your Majesty, all the servants have seen it!" At this time, only a fool would lie and say they didn't see it.
"Then tell me, who will be made the crown princess?" Yang Qingyin asked casually.
She really didn't have any other intention in asking this, she just wanted to see how smart the girl in front of her was.
From the time he read the manuscript to now, Baochai had analyzed it in a short period of time and already knew roughly who it was.
There has been no activity to select the crown princess recently, and the crown princess must be selected from the concubines of the East Palace.
Among the concubines in the East Palace, there are only two side concubines who are more likely to be married. Among them, only Yuanchun is more favored by the queen.
So in Baochai's view, the answer is already obvious.
But the next moment, I heard Baochai reply: "Reporting to your Majesty, this is a big deal, how dare I dare to make random guesses!"
Yang Qingyin said with a smile: "Don't dare to guess, the matter has been decided, and the edict will be announced in just a few days!"
Baochai heard this and said, "But I don't know which girl from this family will be so lucky to be selected to serve His Royal Highness in the East Palace!"
Even though she already knew the answer, Baochai still chose to pretend to be confused. Being too stupid in the palace would not last long, and being too smart might not be a good thing.
Just listen to Yang Qingyin say: "You will know in two days. I will be very busy in the next few months. Don't forget the things I told you!"
During this period of time, she would be busy conferring the title of Crown Princess, meeting her concubines at home and abroad, and attending various court ceremonies. The Queen would indeed be extremely busy.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yunsheng seizes the time to play.
"yes!"
"Get down!"
"My maid, please retire!"
When Baochai walked out of the main hall, he didn't see the crowd outside. After asking, he found out that Zhu Jinghong was here and entered the east hall with the princess and others.
"Third sister, call me over...what's the matter?"
"Brother Thirteen, don't I need your help with something?"
At this moment, there were only two brothers and sisters in the study, and their words were simple and direct.
Picking up the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Third sister, you have asked me for too many things, and none of them are life-threatening!"
"The old man doesn't like me at all. My brother is living on tenterhooks now. You'd better let me go!"
However, Zhu Jinghong's lies could not deceive Zhu Yunsheng at all.
"Brother Thirteen, what you said is an exaggeration. What a fear... I only see you doing all kinds of things that are against etiquette and rules as usual!"
"You said that dad doesn't like you at all, but I think he thinks highly of you. First he let you train soldiers, and then he asked you to replace the team leader in playing polo. I heard that he will let you train soldiers next year!"
Good guy, Zhu Yunsheng's words revealed Zhu Jinghong's little secret, which shocked him greatly.
Even a little girl can see it so clearly. Can I really hide it from my two brothers by making mistakes?
However, this was Zhu Jinghong's overthinking. Zhu Yunsheng said this more out of compliment, so that he could be persuaded to do things.
"Third sister, please stop putting your hat on me. No matter what you say... don't talk about the sled!"
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was "not getting enough", Zhu Yunsheng stood up and said, "Brother Thirteen, when you asked me to choose Sister Bao as my attendant, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Of course Zhu Jinghong did not forget what he said at that time, but the crux of the problem is... he has the final right to interpret.
"Third sister, what I said at that time was that as long as Brother Thirteen can do it, I will do it!"
After taking a sip of hot tea, Zhu Jinghong said with a serious expression: "You are going sledding. If you fall, how will I explain to my parents?"
"So...Brother Thirteen can't do it!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yunsheng sighed and said helplessly: "Originally... my little sister planned to show her love, but what she got in return was Brother Thirteen's fooling me, so I can only use my trump card!"
Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong suddenly became alert. He didn't know what Zhu Yunsheng wanted to do, which made him feel very dangerous.
At this moment, a warning came from outside: "Princess Qi, Miss Xue is here!"
At this moment, outside the door, Baochai felt very strange. The two brothers and sisters were discussing things. Why did the princess order someone to call him in?
Entering the study, I saw Zhu Jinghong sitting behind the desk, and Zhu Yunsheng standing beside him, looking like a palace maid.
Seeing Baochai appear, Zhu Yunsheng walked around the desk and approached, and said at the same time: "Sister Bao, my thirteenth brother is as timid as a mouse. He is not even willing to ask for a favor. Come and help me persuade him!"
