Chapter 598: A Moment of Spring Night is Worth a Thousand Gold
Zhu Ying turned around and saw Xu Miaojin.
Zhu Ying suddenly felt strange to this little girl.
As the saying goes, during the Eighteenth Change of Women, Xu Miaojin was only in her prime at the time, but here, only three years have passed, and she has become a tall girl.
Exquisite face, clear eyes.
Xu Miaojin, who can leave a name in history, is naturally good at everything.
Some people say that there are some differences between ancient and modern aesthetics.
This is true.
But in fact, whether it is ancient or modern, or various types and styles, when the beauty reaches a certain level, it is common.
It is undeniable that this glance back made Zhu Ying feel very excited.
"Miaojin, you are here too."
Zhu Ying took a look and saw that there were several women next to Xu Miaojin, probably the daughters of some noble families.
Most of them are still dignified and delicate, but compared to Xu Miaojin, the difference is very obvious.
Red flowers also need to be lined with green leaves.
"Ah, Miaojin, what a nickname."
"Whose brother is this? He is so familiar with our Miaojin."
The two companions next to him immediately started laughing and joking.
Women do not care about political affairs. The affairs between Xu Miaojin and His Highness Taisun can be regarded as a secret. Most people know about it and rarely discuss it in private.
In a world where Jinyiwei is so strict, it is a serious crime to speak ill of the monarch.
Therefore, these women who followed Xu Miaojin did not know those things, and their family members had never told them.
Hearing the inquiry from the side, Xu Miaojin didn't know how to answer the question.
You can't say that this is His Highness Taisun.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying came directly to the rescue and said: "I had the honor to meet Miss Miaojin more than two years ago. However, I have been busy in the past two years, so I have never met her, but I didn't expect to meet her here."
As they got closer, the eyes of the two women next to them suddenly lit up.
Zhu Ying herself is handsome and handsome, and with her long-standing bearing, she gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
'This aura seems to be that of my father. It feels even more powerful than my father.'
'What a handsome young man, I wonder if he has a family.'
The two women who accompanied Xu Miaojin suddenly felt a little love-struck in their hearts.
The woman on the left gently pushed Xu Miaojin.
Only then did Xu Miaojin react and introduced: "This is the daughter of Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Rites, and this is the daughter of Minister Li of the Ministry of Households." Concubine.
Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Rites?
Zhu Ying subconsciously glanced at the woman on Xu Miaojin's left.
He had some impressions of Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Etiquette.
When the imperial examination reform was proposed in the court and the selection of scholars would be divided into subjects, it was the first time that the Minister of Rites, Zhang Shilang, stood up to oppose it.
It's not that he has any grudges. It is extremely normal for various opinions in the court to be somewhat different. He is not stingy to that point yet.
It's just that the waiter Zhang is quite talented, but he didn't expect his daughter to be so ordinary.
If it were not for wearing silk and satin, she would be no different from a folk woman. I
From this it can be seen that this daughter must have been born to the first wife.
The Minister Zhang was also a man who would never leave her. Even though he was in a high position, he did not dislike his wife.
Um, what do I want these for?
Zhu Ying was suddenly speechless.
He didn't realize that he was staring at Zhang Shilang's daughter, who already looked slightly red and lowered her head.
When Li Shilang's daughter next to her saw this situation, she felt secretly unhappy.
It wouldn’t matter if she was better than Xu Miaojin. After all, she was the Queen of Zhongshan and yet she was so beautiful. I
But why are you looking at Zhang Shilang's daughter?
This is a bit disappointing.
Zhu Ying, who had come back to her senses, didn't think much and asked Xu Miaojin: "Where are you going to play?"
Xu Miaojin felt a little nervous about the situation just now, and couldn't help but said: "We just came back from a trip and are getting ready to go back."
"Master Zhu, have you just come here? Otherwise, I can accompany you on a cruise."
"I haven't properly thanked Mr. Zhu for what happened last time. My eldest sister kept saying that she wanted to invite Mr. Zhu to have a dinner at home to express her gratitude."
Xu Miaojin said this not so much to General Zhu Ying, but to the two people next to him.
Zhu Ying naturally noticed it, looked at the sky and said: "Okay, it's almost dinner time. Speaking of which, I haven't been to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion yet, so I might as well go and have a look this time."
When Xu Miaojin heard this, her eyes immediately curled up in laughter, and there were two small dimples at the corners of her mouth, which was really cute.
The two people next to them were a little disappointed.
But there was no way to say anything.
After all, compared to the top nobles like Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, the gap between the daughter of a minister is a bit big.
It's not like they didn't understand the meaning here.
At that moment, Xu Miaojin walked to Zhu Ying's side, smiled and waved goodbye to the two women.
The two women could only respond with a little embarrassment.
In the middle of Xuanwu Lake here, there was still some distance to go, and Xu Miaojin just walked beside Zhu Ying.
Without others, I feel a little more shy.
He kept his head down all the time, not daring to look up.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "What's going on? I was quite lively just now, but suddenly I'm like this."
Xu Miaojin suddenly didn't know how to answer: "I...I'm a little cold."
The New Year will be celebrated in a few days. Although it hasn’t snowed yet in Nanjing this year, the cold wind has begun to howl.
That is to say, these gentlemen and young ladies come to Xuanwu Lake to play when they have nothing to do.
When Zhu Ying heard this, she was not ambiguous at the moment and directly held Xu Miaojin's cold little hand.
It's already so obvious, so there's no need to reject it too much, otherwise it will look very deliberate.
Her soft little hands felt cold.
Speaking of which, Zhu Ying can be considered a date.
Although he has a wife and four concubines, it seems that he has never had a serious date.
Looking at Xu Miaojin, whose face was as red as a frightened deer, Zhu Ying could not help but feel a strange throbbing in her heart.
"Is it still cold?"
"It's not cold anymore."
At this moment, Xu Miaojin's heart was pounding, which had nothing to do with the cold outside.
No matter how shy she was, she held Zhu Ying's hand tightly, subconsciously leaning towards her, and just followed.
door.
Song Zhong saw this scene from afar, and he kindly asked the carriage to come over.
Even after getting into the car, Xu Miaojin had no intention of letting go.
"Your Highness, should we go back to the palace or not?"
"Go to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion."
"okay."
Xu Miaojin felt that her mind had always been blank, and her eyes were staring at the ground and never raised them.
...
Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.
Xu Zengshou is already waiting at the door.
His eyes were always looking at the end of the street, with joy and anxiety on his face.
It is true that he is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army, but who doesn't know that His Highness Taisun has already begun to reform the army.
This means that the power at his hands will undergo a change.
Your Majesty is closely following your father's achievements, but His Majesty the Great Grandson is not necessarily so.
Hearing that His Highness Taisun was coming with his little sister, Xu Zengshou naturally wanted to behave well.
"It's coming, it's finally coming."
At the corner of the street in the distance, a carriage was driving, followed by about a dozen horsemen.
Naturally, the only person who can achieve this kind of arrogance is His Highness the Grand Sun.
Xu Zengshou quickly walked down the steps and waited.
The carriage stopped and Zhu Ying came out holding Xu Miaojin's hand.
Along the way, Xu Miaojin had no intention of letting go. Even if her brother looked at her, Xu Miaojin didn't want to let go no matter how shy she was.
She was too afraid of losing.
Three years, a full three years have passed since Zhu Gaochi took a boat trip together and secretly made love.
In the past three years, she has paid the most attention to all news about Zhu Ying, and will take the initiative to inquire about everything about Zhu Ying.
Whenever something happened to Zhu Ying that caused great disturbance in the capital, Xu Miaojin would always hide in the room and smile stupidly.
Mainly, I always feel very happy when I hear news about Zhu Ying.
So, this time, she won't let go.
Xu Zengshou was of course very happy when he saw this scene.
"Your Majesty, Xu Zengshou, pays homage to His Highness the Grand Sun."
"Meet His Highness Taisun."
As Xu Zengshou clasped his fists and bowed, all the servants of the Zhongshan Palace knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhu Ying looked at Xu Zengshou.
Speaking of which, Zhu Ying had never paid much attention to these noble disciples before.
Now it seems that it can still be cultivated more.
Although there are many outstanding generals in the Ming Dynasty, they are actually from the older generation. As time goes by, more young generals will need to be trained.
As the fourth son of Xu Da, Xu Zengshou is also good.
No matter how you say it, it is a contribution to the Ming Dynasty.
As Xu Zengshou entered, Xu Miaojin still held Zhu Ying's hand tightly and refused to let go, as if she would lose it if she let go.
At this point, I have already given up.
With Zhu Ying's entry.
All the servants kowtowed.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Grand Sun!"
"Greetings to His Majesty the Grand Sun!" Concubine
All the way to the atrium, Xu Yihua is waiting here.
"I have met His Highness the Grand Sun."
"Auntie, you're welcome."
Xu Yihua is Zhu Di's princess, and related to Zhu Ying's fourth aunt.
Zhu Ying turned her head and looked at Song Zhong and said, "Okay, all of you, please step aside."
"Follow orders."
This is the Palace of the Prince of Zhongshan. Naturally, it is impossible to say what kind of danger His Highness Taisun may encounter. I
Xu Yihua looked at Xu Miaojin holding the hand of His Highness Taisun, and did not expect that today would go so smoothly.
My little sister is quite smart.
When we convey the news that His Highness Taisun is going to Xuanwu Lake, we can bring His Highness Taisun to the palace.
Xu Miaojin almost let go at this time, and was not so shy in a familiar environment.
And from a very large level, Xu Miaojin completely ignored her identity as a woman who had not left the government, put aside worldly opinions, and determined to follow Zhu Ying.
At this point, Zhu Ying still prefers it.
This made him feel something that can only be found in later generations.
Moreover, Xu Miaojin was completely different from other women. When I met him, she was just a businessman, not a grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
This shows that what Xu Miaojin likes is herself, not her identity.
This feeling is very comfortable.
It may be said that there is a feeling of free love.
It's just that at that time, Xu Miaojin three years ago was still too young, so Zhu Yingcai didn't have any other ideas.
Now that it has grown and is in bud, it is completely different.
Xu Yihua had already arranged for the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous banquet.
A large table full of dishes was enjoyed by Zhu Ying, Xu Miaojin, Xu Yihua, and Xu Zengshou.
"I would like to give you a drink, Your Highness. I would like to thank Your Highness for coming to the palace today. It really makes the entire palace shine."
Xu Zengshou picked up the wine glass and said respectfully.
Zhu Ying looked at the clear wine in the glass, and just by smelling it, he knew it was definitely from his own winery.
And this one, even if you don’t see the jar, must be the one with the highest concentration.
Xu Zengshou's thoughts are self-evident.
Only when it comes to drinking, he really hasn't been afraid of anyone.
Before the food was even in my mouth, I had already had three cups in a row, which amounted to four or five taels.
In future generations, those who are not good at drinking will probably become drunk.
Xu Zengshou's face was already turning red, but it was obvious that he was going to continue this posture.
Come then.
About half an hour later.
Xu Zengshou was already lying on the table, snoring loudly.
Zhu Ying couldn't help but sigh, this is really cruel, she must have done two or three kilograms.
Xu Yihua quickly arranged for someone to take the fourth brother away.
"Your Highness, have another drink."
Xu Zengshou was in a daze and shouted randomly.
Xu Yihua took advantage of this moment and walked out.
All the surrounding servants seemed to have disappeared.
Only Zhu Ying and Xu Miaojin were left.
Xu Miaojin also drank a small cup in the middle, and her face had already turned red.
"Your Highness, it's late at night, let me help you go and have a rest." Xu Miaojin said bravely.
Zhu Ying looked at the lovely person next to her and said, "I'm a little drunk, so I'll rest here with you today."
Naturally, Xu Miaojin helped her go directly to her boudoir.
Along the way from the courtyard to the boudoir, the entire palace disappeared, and not a single soul could be seen.
It was as if the lively servants before were all gone.
Entering the room, a faint feminine scent hit my nostrils. It was true that everyone would get drunk even if they were not drunk.
After the door was closed, Zhu Ying no longer had any scruples and hugged Xu Miaojin's waist.
Xu Miaojin leaned gently on Zhu Ying and murmured: "I hope His Highness will take pity on you."
.....
"Boss, do you think we can go back to the palace today?"
When Song Zhong heard this, he slapped his subordinates on the head: "Why are you going back? Go to the palace and report it, and say that His Highness Taisun spent the night at the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion today."
The subordinate touched his head: "Ah, why is it me?"
Song Zhong scolded: "Since you asked such stupid questions, of course you were the one to go."
After seeing his subordinate leave, Song Zhong touched his waist and felt very satisfied.
The news that His Highness Taisun was going to Xuanwu Lake was naturally the one he went to inform the Prince of Zhongshan, otherwise Xu Miaojin would not be able to catch up.
Even when we were on the road, we deliberately slowed down our journey.
This is not considered bribery. Your Majesty and Concubine Ning both acquiesced.
This little money can only be regarded as the matchmaker's money.
When Song Zhong saw no one around, he secretly opened it and took a look.
