Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 32 Summoning Zhu Ji
Queen Wang was suspicious of Zhu Ji, especially after he met Xiaozhi, he first identified Zhu Ji as having impure intentions. However, since he was Lin Cunde's friend, Queen Wang didn't want to take it too seriously.

Zhu Ji didn't know what Queen Wang was thinking, so he could only honestly say: "Yes, we have known each other for a long time!"

"Well, are you here, waiting for Cun De?" Queen Wang then asked casually.

"Yes, Brother Cunde was brought here by Weichen. He is not familiar with the palace. The ministers will take him to the Hall of Supreme Harmony later!" Zhu Ji said again with his hand.

"I'm interested!" Queen Wang nodded, and then walked into the Baohe Hall.

After entering, he found Cheng Jing standing at the door of Zhu Qiyu's study and walked over.

Cheng Jing immediately cupped his hands and said, "My slave, I pay my respects to the Queen!"

"Well, your Majesty and Cunde are still chatting?" Queen Wang asked, looking at Cheng Jing with a smile.

"Reply to the queen, yes, it will be almost three quarters of an hour!" Cheng Jing replied immediately.

"Okay, I'll sit next to you. When they finish talking, the banquet will probably start!" Queen Wang said and sat down on the chair next to her. Then she stretched out her hand, and a palace maid held a ledger and handed it to Wang Meilin. Just sat there and watched.

During this period, Wang Meilin needed to clean up the accounts of the entire palace. Therefore, the Jinyiwei also ransacked the house from time to time in the past few days. Once a corrupt palace official was discovered, Wang Meilin had no intention of letting it go.

While watching, Wang Meilin thought of something and said, "Let Zhu Qianhu come in and sit down. It's very cold outside. Since he is Cunde's friend, let him come in!"

"Yes!" When Eunuch Ge heard this, he immediately went out.

Zhu Ji was also flattered. He didn't expect the Queen to let him in. In addition, he had many questions in his mind, why Lin Cunde could chat with His Majesty for so long, and the Queen did not come in to disturb him. It can be seen that Lin Cunde and Zhu Qiyu may be talking about something important. Either, Lin Cunde and Zhu Qiyu have a very good relationship.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was the right choice for him to make good friends with Lin Cunde.

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, Zhu Qiyu opened the door and shouted to Cheng Jing outside: "Come in and change the tea, this tea is tasteless!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen is here!" Cheng Jing immediately reminded Zhu Qiyu and said.

"Lin'er, you're here, come in quickly!" Zhu Qiyu greeted Wang Meilin happily.

"Have you finished talking?" Wang Meilin also gave the account book to the palace maid, stood up and walked towards Zhu Qiyu.

After entering the study, he saw Lin Cunde sitting there.

Lin Cunde noticed Wang Meilin coming in and stood up. In fact, Lin Cunde didn't know Wang Meilin very well. He had only met her once and never talked to her. But now that Wang Meilin came in wearing the Queen's uniform, Lin Cunde certainly knew that this person was Queen Wang.

So he went over and said, "Student Lin Cunde has met the Queen!"

"Why are you so polite? Just call me sister!" Zhu Qiyu said first.

"Yes, there is no need to be so different, there are no outsiders here!" When Wang Meilin heard what Zhu Qiyu said, he knew that Lin Cunde must have given Zhu Qiyu a good idea, and Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Lin Cunde.

"Yes, I have met my sister!" Lin Cunde also walked down the steps again.

Cheng Jing, who was making tea on the side, was extremely shocked. Although he had known about the existence of Lin Cunde before, but now that His Majesty and the Empress paid so much attention to him, he was definitely not just Empress Wang's sister-in-law, but probably someone else. place.

"Come, sit down and talk! How are you at home?" Wang Meilin said to Lin Cunde.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the Queen, the students are not going back to their hometown this afternoon and will have to go back early tomorrow morning!" Lin Cunde thought of this and still needed to say hello to them in advance. "

"Going back to your hometown? If I remember correctly, your hometown is in Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde in surprise. He originally thought that if he was free next time, he would go to Lin Cunde's mansion or summon Lin Cunde to the palace. When asked about the plan, Lin Cunde said he wanted to return to his hometown.

"Yes, it's not a short journey. Are you going back to your hometown alone?" Of course Queen Wang knew what Zhu Qiyu was thinking, and she herself didn't want Lin Cunde to leave the capital.

"My grandfather learned that my father died in Tumu Fort and my brother died in the battle to defend the capital. My mother was too sad and left me. She was also very sad. Now she is bedridden. Originally, my uncle and uncle were coming to the capital. Now, my grandfather is here. Even so, they couldn't leave.

In addition, the student's father has already died, and he only has me as his son. If I don't go back, it would be unfilial. No matter what, the younger one needs to fulfill his filial piety for his father and stay at his bedside! "Lin Cunde stood there and explained to the two of them.

"Well, that's the reason. You should go back, but you still need to be careful along the way! By the way, Cheng Jing, you go pick out some high-quality supplements and hand them over to Cunde so that Cunde can take them back!" Zhu Qiyu heard what Lin Cunde said. He said, knowing that he couldn't stop it, he could only agree.

"Yes, it's been a tiring journey, and you are weak, so you still need some ideas!" Wang Meilin also said helplessly. Although he didn't want Lin Cunde to go back, in the face of this situation, Lin Cunde had no reason not to go back. "Thank you for your concern, sister. I will come back after spring. My parents and brothers are buried in the suburbs of Beijing. I need to come back to pay homage to them!" Lin Cunde said to them again with his hands raised.

"Well, okay, it's about safety and health!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Cunde said thanks again.

Wang Meilin also thought of Zhu Ji outside at this moment, so he said: "Your friend is still waiting for you outside. How did you meet him?"

Lin Cunde knew that she was talking about Zhu Ji, so he raised his hand and said: "I met through Xiaozhi that Zhu Ji is Yu Qian's son-in-law. Yu Qian has always been strict, so his son-in-law's character is naturally impeccable. Moreover, I have also investigated this person." , he is a decent man and hates evil as much as he hates evil, so that’s why he associates with this person!”

"Oh, Yu Qian's son-in-law?" Upon hearing this, Wang Meilin turned to look at Zhu Qiyu.

"My brother-in-law just recommended him to me, and I heard it was good. Since he is here, let him come in. Cheng Jing, let Zhu Ji come in!" Zhu Qiyu said and ordered Cheng Jing who was making tea. ,

"Yes!" Cheng Jing said and immediately turned around, opened the door of the study, and shouted to Zhu Ji who was sitting there in a daze: "Zhu Qianhu, His Majesty wants to summon you!"

"Ah, yes!" Zhu Ji didn't react when he heard that His Majesty had summoned him, but he still responded subconsciously and walked to the study in a daze.

After entering the study, he saw Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin sitting on the main seats respectively. Lin Cunde was sitting below, looking at him with a smile. Zhu Ji quickly walked over, knelt down, kowtowed to Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin and said: "Weichen Jinyiwei. Zhu Ji, who is from thousands of households in the center, will bow to His Majesty and the Queen!"

"No courtesy, but a seat!" Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Ji and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Ji was surprised at this moment that he could even be given a seat here.

After Zhu Ji stood up, he walked to the position next to Lin Cunde, and sat down carefully, without squinting, just looking at the opposite side.

"Zhu Ji!" Zhu Qiyu said.

"I'm here!" Zhu Ji stood up and cupped his hands in the direction of Zhu Qiyu.

"Well! Cunde has been praising you just now, saying that you are a decent person, hate evil as much as hatred, and have done very well in Jinyiwei. When I heard what he said, I was also curious and wanted to see the talents of my Jinyiwei. After seeing it, it turned out that Yes, he is a talented person, and Yu Shaobao's vision for selecting his son-in-law is still very reliable!" Zhu Qiyu rarely joked with Zhu Ji.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary, I'm ashamed of myself!" Zhu Ji said happily, holding up his hands. He was also grateful to Lin Cunde, knowing that it must be Lin Cunde who spoke kindly for him in front of Zhu Qiyu. Otherwise, how could His Majesty summon him?Still talking to myself.

"Well, you are still young. Work hard in Jinyiwei. There will be many opportunities in the future. I also hope that Jinyiwei can have more talents. In the future, if there is any emergency, come to me at any time, Cheng Jing!" Zhu Qiyu said and looked at Cheng Jing.

"My slave is here!" Cheng Jing immediately responded with his hands raised.

"If something happens to Zhu Qianhu in the future, remember to report it in time!" Zhu Qiyu ordered Cheng Jing.

"Yes, I remember this!" Cheng Jing immediately handed over his hand.

As he spoke, he started bringing tea, first to Zhu Qiyu and Wang Meilin, then to Lin Cunde and Zhu Ji. After placing it for a while, Cheng Jing stood in an inconspicuous place.

"Zhu Ji, is there any new news about Jin Yiwei now?" Zhu Qiyu picked up the tea cup and gently scraped the foam with the cup lid.

Zhu Ji knew that the time had come for Zhu Qiyu to test himself, so he handed over his hand and said: "There is no new news, but nowadays the good and bad of the Jinyiwei are mixed. Many Jinyiwei sacrificed themselves in Tumu Fort before, and later their descendants took over. Their fathers and others had high positions, but They don’t understand anything, and now that they have entered Jinyiwei, they will inevitably cause some misunderstandings, make some mistakes, and even misunderstand the people!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu frowned and looked at Lin Cunde,
Lin Cunde reminded himself before to find an excuse to rectify the Jinyiwei and make the Jinyiwei fully used by him. Now, wouldn't the opportunity come?
"In addition, the Jinyi Guards are now poorly equipped, and many of the Jinyi Guards have neglected their training. If a crisis occurs, they may not be able to shoulder the responsibility of protecting His Majesty's safety!" Zhu Ji said with his hand again.

"Well, Zhu Ji, I have to go to the banquet today, and I don't have enough time. Come to me in the afternoon and talk about these things in detail!" Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a while, but now he doesn't have enough time.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Ji said excitedly, holding up his hands. He knew that his opportunity had come.

"Cunde, it's getting late. If you keep sitting here, it will be a waste of time to come to the palace. Zhu Ji, take Cunde to visit the palace and introduce it more!" Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde and Zhu Ji.

"Yes!" Lin Cunde and Zhu Ji also stood up.

"Go!" Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved to them. Cheng Jing also stood up at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, can you send someone to deliver the things that I have prepared now? Otherwise, I will let Master Lin take them back later. , it’s also laborious!”

"Send it over, Cunde, tell Cheng Jing your home address!" Zhu Qiyu responded with a smile. He was very happy today. Many things have been solved.
