[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Although Xue Baochai did not want to marry Jia Baochai deep down in his heart, and although he helped Xue Baochai a little bit in choosing a concubine for the emperor, this did not change the marriage contract between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai, nor did it allow Xue Baochai to achieve what he did not want. The wish to marry Jia Baoyu.

Even though Xue Baochai had tried her best, after the silkworm kissing ceremony in the palace the next year, she sat in a sedan chair, put on her wedding dress, beat the ground, and paid homage to Jia Baoyu with her dowry.

When she married Jia Baoyu, it happened to be the time when Zhu Mingcheng put three thousand soldiers in the Beijing camp and went to Beijing with some confidants on light horses. Zhu Mingcheng even delayed his way home because of Xue Baochai's sedan chair. time.

Zhu Mingcheng returned to the General's Mansion, first visited his mother, then said a few words to his younger brother, and then went back to his own room.

He was exhausted all the way, and he still had to think about handing out paperwork in the palace tomorrow, so he didn't have the time or the energy to toss about it. He just wanted to sleep with his head covered right now.

Therefore, when his daughter Zhu Yanran asked to see her, Zhu Mingcheng was still very upset: "Tell her I'm asleep."

The housekeeper said: "General, Miss said that if the general does not see her, I need to remind the general that the young lady of the third master's family has just entered the palace, and now she is a talented person."

Zhu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment.

For another moment, he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "Who?"

The housekeeper said: "General, at the end of last year, the Queen's Empress chose a lady as a concubine in the fourth-rank and fifth-rank official lord's house in the capital for Long Live. Miss Qiu from the third room was selected, and she is now a talented person in the palace."

With a "snap", Zhu Mingcheng slammed the boot in his hand to the ground.

"Absurd! Where's the third child? Didn't he beg his mother to forgive him?"

The butler lowered his head, not daring to answer.

Zhu Mingcheng immediately knew that this was his good third brother who wanted to fight for wealth and wealth, so he sent his daughter to the palace regardless of his own sister in the palace.

But it is.

No matter how much you kiss your nephew, how can you kiss your own daughter?

Zhu Mingcheng was silent for a while, and said, "Where is Yan Niang? Is she still outside?"

Yanniang is Zhu Yanran's nickname at home.

"Returning to the general, yes. The fifth girl is waiting in the front side hall right now."

Zhu Mingcheng immediately changed his clothes and went to see his daughter.

There are some things that he needs to question his daughter himself.

If anyone in the Zhu family has seen Tanchun, they will definitely find this Zhu Yanran very familiar.The same youth and beauty, the same high spirits, the same, good at planning for themselves.

Probably this is the commonality of concubine girls. Because they are concubine girls, they have less resources, so they must learn to plan for themselves from a very young age.

This Zhu Yanran was like that.

Her mother must be good-looking to be favored by Zhu Mingcheng and give birth to an heir for Zhu Mingcheng.Zhu Yanran also well integrated the advantages of her parents' appearance. In addition, Zhu Mingcheng has not been at home for many years, and the General's Mansion has been in the hands of Zhu Minghui and his wife for many years. An extra layer of camouflage.

Just now, in front of Mrs. Zhu's family, this girl had a low-browed and obedient attitude, and there was nothing special about it, but at this moment, her pair of wonderful eyes looked bright, making her original outstanding appearance even more Eye-catching.

To put it bluntly, if she was a few years older, if the selection conditions were relaxed this time, if she entered the palace with her cousin this time, if she was favored and prosperous, she would still I don't know which one it is.

Zhu Yanran would come to see her father as soon as possible, naturally for her own sake.

She felt that some things should be known to her father earlier, so that her father would be able to deal with them freely after he came to Beijing.And as Zhu Mingcheng's daughter, she will only be well if Zhu Mingcheng is well.

She and Zhu Mingcheng have always been in a relationship where one prospers and the other loses.

Zhu Yanran would beg to see her father at this time, obviously with the intention of taking a gamble.After all, Zhu Mingcheng's wife passed away very early, and she grew up day by day. If she can't get her father's favor, then her marriage will end up in a glamorous end just like her sisters. .

She wants to live a good life, she must first win the support of her father.

With this in mind, Zhu Yanran made preparations, but when she saw Zhu Mingcheng, Zhu Yanran finally understood that even though the middle-aged man with gray temples and a sturdy body in front of her was her biological father, but The murderous aura brought by the other party from the battlefield was not something that a spoiled girl like her in a boudoir could bear.

Even though she kept cheering herself up in her heart, Zhu Yanran had to admit that her whole body was stiff and she couldn't breathe. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

On the other side, looking at his daughter who was still standing in front of him with a pale face, Zhu Mingcheng couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart:

He is courageous and able to stand still!You know, as the general guarding the northwest, when his aura is fully activated, the recruits below can't last long.Although he doesn't have full aura now, it's pretty good for a little girl to persist until now.

How old is this girl? 12 or 13?

A daughter, even if she is just a concubine, is also a good tool for marriage. The difference is that she is better and plays a greater role, but she is less capable and her role is more limited.

Maybe the Zhu family doesn't need to marry now, but no one knows what will happen in the future.However, if the daughter is outstanding, she can also come in handy in the future. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Zhu Mingcheng thought so.

After entering the room, he sat down on the honorable seat at the top, and waited for his daughter to salute him. After the salute, he opened his mouth and his daughter took her seat. Then he said: "Tell me, what happened at home during this time, Pick up what you know and think is important."

"Yes, father." Zhu Yanran guessed her father's meaning in her heart, and felt that her father might prefer that kind of straightforward girl, so after the housekeeper withdrew, she said like this: "Father, some of these words are ours. It is widely known by everyone, and some of them are guessed by my daughter, if my daughter is wrong, please ask father Haihan."

"Say it!"

"Yes, father. We will start with the death of Empress Yuan. When Empress Yuan passed away, everyone in our family seemed to share the same grief, but in fact, we only wanted to celebrate the great future of my aunt and cousin. Then ,"

Zhu Yanran was at a loss for words.

"And then long live the new queen."

Zhu Mingcheng said calmly.

Zhu Yanran said: "Yes, Father. This is also my daughter's conjecture. My daughter is thinking, I'm afraid, I'm afraid Long Live doesn't want to delegate power now."

Zhu Mingcheng nodded and said, "Continue."

Zhu Mingcheng had already thought about this possibility on the way to Beijing.

"Daughter thought, even though our family wholeheartedly hoped that my aunt could improve to a higher level, but my aunt has won one of the sixth princes for many years, but after entering the palace, my aunt has never delivered good news. Father, long live I am afraid What about the first prince."

Zhu Mingcheng said, "Is there any more?"

When he said this, Zhu Mingcheng didn't even move his eyebrows, which made Zhu Yanran flustered.

She could only bite the bullet and continue to say: "Father, my daughter also heard that the matter of choosing a concubine this time was actually brought up less than a month before the empress entered the palace. It is said that that time, Someone saw the new empress entering the palace and monopolized the emperor's favor for half a month, so they slandered the Empress Dowager."

Only then did Zhu Mingcheng's voice have ups and downs, and his voice was an octave lower, as deep as the echo of a mountain: "Continue."

"Yes, father." Seeing that Zhu Mingcheng finally gave a response, Zhu Yanran also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "This time the choice is also the same. There are also people who are behind the empress empress, and let the empress empress impose on the empress. The pressure led to the selection of a lady in the home of the fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials in Gyeonggi Province. However, every time His Highness the Sixth Prince came, the Third Uncle asked the Third Sister to accompany him, and the Third Sister and the Sixth Highness are also very close... ..."

"Enough, is this all you want to say?"

Zhu Yanran immediately thumped, knelt down, and said: "Father, my daughter also knows that what she said was a bit long-winded. But, father, this matter, I am afraid that His Highness Six and Your Majesty will hate our house~"

Zhu Mingcheng said impatiently: "That's enough, you go back to my room! There are some things that you can talk about."

Zhu Yanran wanted to say something more, but seeing her father's gloomy face, she didn't dare to argue, so she could only bow her knees and salute, and then left.

As soon as Zhu Yanran left, Zhu Mingcheng immediately waved his hand, and swept all the tea bowls and other things on the ground, breaking them into pieces.

"The third one!"

The butler was taken aback.

He originally thought that Zhu Mingcheng was angry with his daughter, but when he heard these two words, he realized that Zhu Mingcheng was angry with his younger brother.

In fact, as the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, Zhou Chang had no objections to Zhu Minghui's sending his daughter into the palace, but he was only a housekeeper after all, even if he was decent in Zhu's house, he couldn't talk about some things after all.

After a long time, Zhu Mingcheng raised his head, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Zhu Mingcheng said: "When did Qiu'er from the third family enter the palace?"

"General, it happened at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month last year. Because the third master was not of high rank and had no real power, Miss Qiu was almost the last of the twelve brides to enter the palace."

Zhu Mingcheng said bitterly: "Why is it because the third child is not of high rank and has no real power? I think the palace probably already knew about Qiu'er and His Highness the Sixth Prince, so they waited for the third child to plead for mercy and let his daughter Let's go home!"

First invested in the prince, and now sent his daughter to the palace as the emperor's concubine.

Is it really so careless to be a royal?

Father and son share the same slot, and they will be infamous through the ages!
