If not abolished

Chapter 295: Lifting the House Arrest (1)

Sun Ruoji smiled and sent away the people sent by Zhu Zhanqi, but then she didn't treat Wu Yingyue well.

Sun Ruoji looked Wu Yingyue up and down, "What's your name?"

"My maid's surname is Qi, and my given name is Yin."

"He has a name and a surname, so it seems he is not an ordinary person. Okay, I am not free today. I still have to copy the female precepts. Let the nanny arrange a place for you to live." After saying this, Sun Ruoji returned to the room without looking back.

"Miss Qi, please come this way." The nanny came over to lead the way for her.

"Thank you, Madam." Wu Yingyue, oh no, it should be Qi Yin now, she followed into a room.

"Girl, take a rest here for a while. When the queen is done with her work, I'll see what arrangements she has for you."

"Okay, thank you, Mammy." As she spoke, Qi Yin took out a purse from the bag she brought with her and stuffed it into Mammy's hand.

"This... Miss... How can I feel comfortable with this?" The nanny naturally waved her hand to refuse at first, but Qi Yin immediately stuffed it into her sleeve.

"I'm new here, and there will be many things I can help you with in the future. I don't understand the queen's temperament at the moment, so I'd like to ask you for more advice." Qi Yin's words were well-reasoned, and the nanny couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to accept it.

"Miss, you are too polite. We will all serve the Empress together in the future and it is only natural for us to help each other." The nanny was naturally happy. The Empress Concubine rarely gave tips throughout the year, so she was naturally happy that someone gave her some.

"That's what mama said."

In this way, she settled down temporarily with Sun Ruoji.

main courtyard.

Sun Ruoji copied for two days and finally finished copying the women's ring. He immediately sent it to Wang Jundai.

"Greetings to the Princess." Sun Ruoji said calmly.

"Sister, please don't be polite." Wang Jundai was confused. Didn't she pay her respects to him two days ago? Why did he come again? She thought something had happened. "I wonder what's the matter with you coming here today?"

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Last time I was late in paying my respects to you. You know, His Highness immediately reprimanded me, saying that I must pay my respects to you on time in the future. He also made me copy the female rules as punishment. So I copied them overnight and sent them to Your Highness without stopping. Otherwise, I will be late if you ask me to do something." Sun Ruoji got angry when she saw Wang Jundai, who seemed to know nothing. The mansion was so small, and His Highness sent someone to reprimand her. How could she, the Princess of a County, not know about it? She was still pretending to be ignorant. It really pissed her off.

"So that's how it is. Your Highness, you've gone too far. Thank you for your hard work. Next time if something like this happens again, come and tell me. There's no need to copy it over so quickly. Your Highness is really something." Wang Jundai was busy with other things these days and really didn't pay much attention to what was happening with Sun Ruoji. She really didn't know about this.

"Your Majesty, you speak as if you really don't know about this. I'd better give it to you earlier, otherwise I don't know what His Highness will say then." Sun Ruoji didn't want to argue with her either. "I have to go back to take care of the children, so I'll take my leave first." She found an excuse and left.

"Sister, go and get busy." Wang Jundai responded.

"Your Majesty, look at her attitude. She deserves to be punished." Xiang Lin felt uncomfortable when she thought of Sun Ruoji's expression just now.

"Okay, why do you always act like this every time she comes? It's not a big deal, she's just like that. It's actually quite fun. Otherwise, this house would be so lonely. It's not boring to have someone like this jumping around around." Wang Jundai always thought that Sun Ruoji was cute. If Sun Ruoji heard this evaluation, she would be shocked that she actually thought she was cute.

"I really can't stand you more and more. How can you find her interesting despite her behavior?" Xiang Lin expressed her incomprehension.

"You won't understand. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Did you notice just now? There is a strange face beside Sun?" Wang Jundai immediately noticed that there was a stranger among Sun Ruoji's maids today.

"This servant didn't seem to notice." Xiang Lin only listened to Sun Ruoji talking and looking at her, and didn't pay attention to the maid beside her.

At this time Xiangqin said: "I also noticed that it was indeed this maid I had never seen before. Not only had I never seen her around the concubine, I had never seen her in the mansion."

"Go and check how that person got to the side of the Concubine." Wang Jundai always felt that this matter was not simple, but it was just her feeling.

"Yes."

"I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, as if something big is about to happen." Wang Jundai originally wanted to find He Yunyue to discuss it, but she couldn't go out now.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. You just think too much." Xiangqin comforted her.

"I wish I was overthinking it."

Zhu Di has tentatively planned to officially move the capital to Shuntian in February of next year, and now he needs people to go there to make preparations. Originally, the best candidate would be Zhu Zhanji, but now Zhu Zhanji has left the capital, so he thought of other grandsons who could go.

"You said, besides Agui, I also have a grandson who is more stable and steady in his work." Zhu Di asked casually.

Wang Jinghong did not dare to answer casually. He thought for a while before replying, "Your Majesty's grandchildren, the little princes are all good. For example, the older one, Prince Zhanqi, has been helping you deal with things for a long time. Then there are Prince Zhanjun and Prince Zhanji. I heard that they are all very good."

"It sounds like you know a lot about it." Zhu Di suddenly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, this... I have only heard and guessed, so I can't say I understand it."

"Hmph, that's better." Zhu Di didn't say anything else. "Zhanqi is capable of doing things except that he is a little impatient. It's not impossible to let him go to Shuntian to prepare in advance, but the third brother is also there. If the two of them get together, who knows what will happen. The two in the prince's family are a little young, and I'm afraid they won't be able to make it. Let me think about it carefully." Zhu Di knew very little about his grandsons other than Agui.

Later, he still wanted to see if there were any other candidates besides Zhu Zhanqi, so he went to the main hall after the court session.

Zhu Di secretly hid in the dark and observed. At this time, the teacher just gave them a question to think about, and left for a while. A few people could not sit still and started to make a commotion.

"The gentleman has left, why are you still sitting so straight?" Zhu Zhanjun patted his fifth brother beside him and said.

"Second brother, don't talk. I'm thinking about the question the teacher left." Zhu Zhanji said seriously.

"Hey, now that person has left, why don't you just take a break? Why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Second brother, you have to study hard, right?" Zhu Zhanji expressed his incomprehension and asked with a frown.

"Well, you are right. Just continue thinking about it. I won't disturb you." Zhu Zhanjun knew that his younger brother looked young, but he was like an old scholar, nagging all day long. It was very annoying. That's why he arranged people to be around him because other people were annoyed by his nagging.

"What are you going to do, second brother?" Zhu Zhanji asked as he saw him stand up.

"I...I'm going to change."

"Then remember to come back, second brother." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.

What happened? Before, Zhu Zhanjun would sometimes pretend to have a stomachache to skip classes. Since Zhu Zhanji came to his side, his plan was no longer feasible, because Zhu Zhanji would complain to the teacher, or accompany him to the teacher, in short, to put an end to his behavior. Moreover, after his mother, Concubine Li, knew about this, she specially invited Zhu Zhanji to dinner and praised him. At the same time, she warned Zhu Zhanjun not to bully his brother, otherwise he would bear the consequences. After being praised, Zhu Zhanji felt that he was doing the right thing, and Zhu Zhanjun was instantly controlled by him.

"Okay, brother, I'll be back soon." Zhu Zhanjun couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Zhu Di found the child interesting. "This child looks young, but his temperament is mature. He is even more serious than when Agui was young."

"Your Majesty wants to..."

"Go and ask around." Zhu Di said.

"Yes." Wang Jinghong replied.

After Zhu Di returned to the Qianqing Palace, Wang Jinghong also reported back what he had inquired about.

"Your Majesty is really discerning. I heard that the little prince behaves like an adult at such a young age. The Crown Prince sometimes has to be disciplined."

"Just now it looked like the guy next to him was the second son of the prince's family."

"Yes, Your Majesty has a very good memory."

"That's perfect. Let the two of them accompany Zhanqi to Shuntian." Zhu Di decided immediately.
