Zhu Jinghong never thought that he would be described as timid as a mouse.
Facing Zhu Yunsheng's words, Baochai felt deeply helpless. The two brothers and sisters were quarreling over why they wanted to drag her along.
After taking a look at Zhu Jinghong, Baochai said to Zhu Yunsheng: "Princess, the Thirteenth Master has another idea. Even you can't persuade him... How can I change his mind!"
"Sister Bao is too modest. Don't believe it...my biological sister is not as proud as you to Brother Thirteen!"
To be honest, the meaning of these words seemed too straightforward, which made Baochai feel hot.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Yunsheng became more confident about the success of the matter. She believed that Baochai would definitely succeed if he took action.
"Princess, don't say that, I don't have any dignity!"
Seeing that Baochai refused to admit it, Zhu Yunsheng looked at Zhu Jinghong and asked, "Brother Thirteen, don't you give Sister Bao face, so why did you have to help her get into the palace in the first place?"
Baochai's face turned red, but Zhu Jinghong didn't care. He wouldn't be ashamed if his sister saw through his thoughts.
Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Third sister, look at what you said. Does me helping her enter the palace have anything to do with this?"
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't take the bait, Zhu Yunsheng said to Baochai: "Sister Bao, look... my words are useless, you have to help me!"
Baochai didn't take the bait and immediately replied: "Princess... I can't help you with this!"
"Sister Bao, please don't refuse..."
Having said this, Zhu Yunsheng approached Baochai and lowered his voice and said, "After all, you don't want the portrait sachet to reach their ears, right?"
It turns out that Zhu Yunsheng's handle was not Zhu Jinghong's but Baochai's.
This sentence alone left Baochai speechless, and she felt very embarrassed for a moment.
After all, she had just been entrusted by the queen to strictly control the princess, and now she was helping the princess out of the palace to play. This was really unreasonable.
But Zhu Yunsheng didn't care about this. After explaining the last sentence, he left the study and ordered the door to be closed.
So at this moment, only Zhu Jinghong and Xue Baochai were left in the room.
Seeing Baochai standing there, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but ask: "Bao girl, what did the third sister whisper to you?"
Zhu Yunsheng said the last sentence in a low voice, so Zhu Jinghong couldn't hear it because he was not a deaf ear.
Baochai didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "The Thirteenth Master insisted on letting me make the sachet. Now that the princess knows about it, she wants to take advantage of it... I must persuade you to agree!"
This is only half of what he said. After all, how could Baochai tell the person involved that he secretly painted Zhu Jinghong's portrait.
"So, am I making it difficult for you?" After saying this, Zhu Jinghong pointed to the empty tea cup.
When she saw that she was being asked to pour tea, Baochai said: "I cut the meat for you a few days ago, and now you ask me to pour tea... The princess didn't ask us to serve you like this. Master Thirteen is really good at calling people!"
"Bao girl, don't you keep telling people that I am your savior... Aren't you happy to let you pour me some tea?"
Of course Baochai was happy to serve the tea, but she said these words just to cover up. Now that Zhu Jinghong was offering to repay his kindness, she could naturally follow the trend.
I saw Baochai walking up to the desk, picking up the teapot and pouring tea, and said, "Thirteenth Master, the matter about the sachet is your idea. Now that the princess knows about it and threatens you, what can you do..."
"It's full, it's full, stop it, baby girl..."
It turned out that Baochai was only talking and did not notice when the tea cup was filled, which resulted in Zhu Jinghong being burned.
Fortunately, it had been some time since the tea had been brewed, and the temperature had dropped a lot, so Zhu Jinghong was not harmed.
But Baochai didn't know the inside story. Seeing this, he quickly put down the teapot, took out his handkerchief and wiped it for Zhu Jinghong.
When others encounter this situation, their expressions must be fear and fear, but on Baochai's face there is only worry and self-blame.
"Master Thirteen, it's okay with you... It's all my fault for being careless and you got burned. You deserve to die!"
Feeling the contact between Baochai's fingers and listening to her breath-like voice, Zhu Jinghong took Baochai's jade hand and asked, "Then how do you compensate me?"
Hearing that he still had time to say this, Baochai knew that he was talking nonsense, so he immediately retracted his hand with all his strength.
Although he was not touched by Zhu Jinghong, Baochai still said with a straight face: "Master Thirteen, please respect yourself!"
"Respect yourself, of course I respect myself, no one in this world knows self-respect better than me!"
This is really not Zhu Jinghong's boast, because as long as he is willing, he can get most women in the world, including Baochai.
After traveling through time for so long, Zhu Jinghong has not done any bad things, and he is truly a "self-respecting" person.
Not wanting to talk to him about this, Baochai said angrily: "Do you agree or disagree with what the princess said?"
Before Zhu Jinghong could answer, Baochai continued: "If the incident about the sachet spreads, how can I have the honor to live!"
Seeing Baochai looking so desperate for life and death, Zhu Jinghong only found it very interesting.
"What are you looking at me for? Just tell me what to do!"
After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "I found a problem..."
"What?" Baochai looked puzzled.
Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong said extremely seriously: "The tea you poured... seems to be more fragrant!"
Baochai was stunned at first, then looked angry, and then said with great dissatisfaction: "How long has it been... and you are still telling these jokes!"
Standing up and walking slowly behind Baochai, Zhu Jinghong held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry... the sky won't fall!"
"Even if I die...I'm not afraid of being seen!"
After saying this, Baochai quickly took a few steps and distanced himself from Zhu Jinghong.
"Isn't it just sledding? I'll arrange it for her in two days. I won't make it difficult for you!"
Although Zhu Jinghong said it was serious before, arranging this matter was really just a small matter for him.
Even if he was discovered by the emperor and empress, he was not afraid. Making mistakes was nothing to him.
Seeing Baochai heaving a sigh of relief, Zhu Jinghong asked: "Girl... you said you made the sachet for me. How long has it been since then? I still haven't found it yet!"
Seeing Zhu Jinghong as if there was no one around, Baochai glanced at the door guiltily, then turned back and said dissatisfiedly: "You... can you please keep your voice down?"
"Do you think the sachet is just a cloth bag sewn together? It also has to be embroidered with various patterns. It's very cumbersome to make..."
"You're really in a hurry. I'll be late in the next two days and I'll give it to you then!"
Seeing Baochai talking like this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Look at you looking aggrieved, as if I was bullying you!"
"Did Master Thirteen not bully others? He treated us like little girls!"
"Hey... don't say this nonsense. Have I ever used them before?"
While the two people inside were bickering, someone in another room in the east hall was also discussing quietly.
"You think... can Sister Bao persuade the Thirteenth Master?" Xiangyun expressed concern.
"Hmph... what can she... be capable of!"
It was obviously Zhen Qin who said this. At this moment, she was jealous again, and at the same time, she was secretly worried about why the princess didn't send this errand to her!
Fortunately, she doesn't have bad intentions. She will speak out freely about anything and won't hold it in her heart and do evil in secret.
At this time Yang Jingting said: "I think it can work!"
She and Zhen Qin were the other way around. They kept everything in their hearts. They were obviously filled with jealousy at the moment, but they still had to pretend that nothing was wrong.
"hope so!"
Among the three, only Xiangyun has a simpler mind, but I don't know how long she can maintain her innocence.
