Dingjiangshan

This unorthodox relationship was finally revealed in this narrow and simple military tent, and it ended with Prince Gong's concession and frankness.

Ning Yan never spoke again after calling Ning Huaijin.Ning Huaijin sat by the bed and struggled for a while, thinking that after the "Three Chapters of Agreement" just now, the relationship between him and Ning Yan should no longer be regarded as a simple "monarch and subject" or "uncle and nephew", but to go The direction of "lover" moved a little.

When Ning Huaijin analyzed herself, she was logical and well-organized, and when she agreed to Ning Yan, she was also straightforward and without delay. But now the things that should be said have been said, and the "three chapters" of the appointment have also been made.When it was time to be a "lover", Ning Huaijin didn't know where to start.

For so many years, Ning Huaijin has been conscientiously being the "Prince Gong", and she has never tasted the taste of love, and she doesn't know how to get along with the person she likes—should I get closer or respect each other like a guest?Ning Huaijin licked his lips, he felt that he should say something and do something to express his attitude, but he didn't know what to do.

In the past, Ning Yan always chased and blocked him when he mentioned this matter, and refused to give an inch. Now that he calmed down, Ning Huaijin seemed a little at a loss.

Ning Yan folded his cloak, leaned on the head of the bed and quietly looked at Ning Huaijin's expression. Seeing the changes in his face, he could probably guess the scene of the battle between heaven and man in his heart.

The bad temper in the young Emperor Chonghua's bones was ready to move, he pursed his lips, and the corners of his lips were secretly stained with a little smile, as if he didn't see Ning Huaijin's various entanglements, he stretched out his hand to the little bamboo in front of the bed. He fumbled in the basket and took out a green orange from the bottom.

He peeled the oranges slowly, occasionally peeking at Ning Huaijin out of the corner of his eye, trying to see how long he could endure before he could speak.

Prince Gong was less patient than he had imagined. Ning Yan hadn't finished peeling an orange when Ning Huaijin cleared his throat and was finally about to speak.

"Your Majesty——" Ning Huaijin just opened her mouth, and found the "wrong" in her address in Ning Yan's dissatisfied eyes, so she coughed dryly, "correct it if you know the mistake" and said: "Xiao Yan, you... Have you had dinner yet?"

Ning Yan: "..."

He could see that Ning Huaijin was already trying very hard to change one or two, but the two of them got along very close before, and Ning Huaijin couldn't find a way to go further, so she seemed a little clumsy.

Ning Yan pursed her lips and smiled, inexplicably feeling that such Ning Huaijin was a little cute.

"I've eaten." Ning Yan said, "It was still early when I arrived at the camp. You and General Xie were outside, so I ate with the big pot of rice. Anyway, that's how I ate when I was marching."

"That's good." Ning Huaijin said.

This topic is not enough to last for a long time, Prince Gong frowned, and was trying to find something to say, when Ning Yan sat up straight, and put the peeled green orange in his hand. palm.

"Huaijin." Ning Yan said, "Try it."

After peeling the green orange in his hand, it was only half the size of a palm. Ning Yan picked off the white silk on it very cleanly, and it looked round and appetizing.

Ning Huaijin knew Ning Yan well. He is addicted to sweetness. He has never liked this kind of sour fruit. I don't know how he brought this out today.

But even though his heart was pounding, Ning Huaijin habitually broke the green orange in half, tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ning Huaijin: "..."

The green tangerine in Ning Yan's hand was the first stubble fruit on the tree. It had thin skin and tender flesh, but it was so sour that it was so sour that it had almost no sweetness.Ning Yan also took two of them into his arms because he was afraid of being sleepy after traveling all night.

Ning Huaijin was awakened by the sourness of this green orange, but because of etiquette, she couldn't spit it out, so she could only swallow it forcefully.

This sip of green orange was so sour that he seemed to be enlightened, and even subtly opened his mind, thinking that Ning Yan was exercising the right to "get close" and punish him.

Although Prince Gong never got married, he heard many colleagues in the cabinet complaining about his main wife.Most of these famous families have the same case with their regular wives, and there are very few foolish people who dote on their concubines and kill their wives. When they gather together to complain, most of them are "because I drank two more drinks with my friends, and my wife let me sleep in the study", "" Yesterday my wife said that I was too angry, and I didn’t eat meat for three meals a day." I talked too much about trivial matters, not like complaining, but like showing off.

Ning Huaijin has heard a lot, and probably can vaguely understand that this kind of couple will always show some not-so-gentle coquettishness to reflect the specialness in each other's hearts.

Of course, Ning Yan didn't know that Ning Huaijin's thoughts had gone to the sky. Seeing this, he smiled and asked, "Is it very sour?"

Ning Huaijin nodded, and gathered the remaining green oranges in her hands, as if she had no intention of eating any more.

"When I came, because I had to hurry, I was afraid that I would fall off my horse if I got sleepy, so I brought two." Ning Yan said: "I ate one on the way when I came, and I felt so sour. This one, let the emperor—"

Not to mention Ning Huaijin, even Ning Yan himself has many habits that need to be changed one by one. He refrained from swallowing that title and said, "Let Huaijin try it too."

"Because I don't like sour food, I feel that I have suffered a bit." Ning Yan said: "So I naturally want to show off this little suffering to the person I like, so that you can know that I came to see you, too. It took some effort."

"I know everything." Ning Huaijin said.

Ning Huaijin wanted to say that he understood everything, after all, they were not married like ordinary men and women, so they could be justified and upright.Even someone like Ning Huaijin who accepts affection will feel troubled at first, let alone Ning Yan who has always given his affection firmly.

"But that's not what I meant when I shared your oranges." Ning Yan said, "I want to try the feeling of sharing weal and woe with you."

Ning Huaijin was slightly taken aback.

He vaguely felt that he understood Ning Yan's meaning. For so many years, even though he and Ning Yan had depended on each other for life, it was no different to say "share joys and sorrows".But the two of them have always been accustomed to take the initiative to share the "sweetness" and hide some "bitterness" if they can.

The prince has the prince's last resort, and the emperor is naturally the same. The two of them "whitewashed the peace" within the scope of their ability, trying to give each other the best, and never took the initiative to share the "sour".

"Actually, Huai Jin doesn't have to insist on coming up with a charter. He has to separate the previous days of being together with the monarch and his subjects from the future." Ning Yan deliberately omitted the word uncle and nephew, and said casually: "Compared to In those days before, now it’s just a change in status, but you and I are still you and me, so let nature take its course.”

"But that's all." Ning Yan said, "Try it and change it, okay?"

Ning Huaijin didn't quite know when and where Ning Yan learned how to get along so much.In comparison, he is 12 years older than Ning Yan, but he doesn't look older at all.

Ning Huaijin thought about it quietly for a while, and then looked at the orange petals in his hand.

The weather was dry in autumn, and in just a short while, the orange petals had become a bit brittle and hard. Ning Huaijin pressed it with her fingers, and tore off another petal from the top to stuff it into her mouth.

Such a juicy fruit, when sour to the extreme, can taste a little bit of bitterness, Ning Huaijin subconsciously tightened her eyebrows, and pursed her lips even tighter.

——Ning Yan must really hate this fruit, Ning Huaijin suddenly thought.

Blessed to his heart, he suddenly understood what it was like to "share joys and sorrows".In fact, in the final analysis, it doesn't matter whether the taste is sour or sweet, what matters is the moment when you think of the other party.

This is a very mysterious feeling, as if between two people who have no connection, just relying on love and deep understanding, another sense of "empathy" can be easily achieved.

Ning Huaijin put the remaining green orange in her hand on the small table beside the bed, and said, "I understand."

He licked his lips as he spoke, and after the strong sour taste in his mouth subsided, Ning Huaijin finally belatedly revealed a little fruity sweetness from the base of his tongue.

"Actually, it's still a bit sweet." Ning Huaijin said with a smile, "Would you like to try again?"

"Forget it." Ning Yan also bent his eyes, smiled happily, and retreated while refusing: "Next time, next time, this time there is no need."

Ning Huaijin looked at Ning Yan softly for a while, sighed softly, and said with emotion: "On the way of getting along, you see it more clearly than I do."

"Because I have been thinking about it for three years." Ning Yan said: "To be honest, I sat on that high platform and watched you for more than ten years, but I still remember the three years when I was young and depended on you in the turbulent waves... ...Maybe you don't believe it, but those three years were the happiest three years of my life."

"That's why when I was young, I used to fear, wondering if such a good relationship would disappear one day in such a long time in the future." Ning Yan said, "Maybe after you get married, you will have your own positive relationship." Concubine, I also have my own children, so I won't look at me every day like before, maybe it's a little simpler - when I get older, when I grow up to your age, you will feel that I don't need you gone."

"No." Ning Huaijin couldn't help but said, "I never thought about it that way."

"I know." Ning Yan smiled at him reassuringly, and continued, "It wasn't until later that I finally realized my feelings for you that I understood where all the fear and uneasiness came from."

Ning Yan paused for a moment, as if he didn't intend to elaborate on this issue, he just mentioned it hastily and then passed it.

"So since then I have been thinking, if one day I get what I want, how can I go on with you for a long time and live a life like this for a long time." Ning Yan said: "I have been thinking about it for three years. , thinking about it day and night, naturally think thoroughly, so..."

Before Ning Yan finished speaking, he felt a sudden darkness in front of him.

Ning Huaijin stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around him, and pressed him into her arms like she did when she was a child.

"You don't have to think about it." Ning Huaijin said, "Because you are Xiao Yan—so no matter whether the future is good or bad, I will never leave you alone."
