Dingjiangshan

Ning Huaijin had never seen Ning Yan so angry.

Even a few years ago, when Ning Yan was found out by the courtiers of Ruan Yin's lineage taking advantage of Ning Yan's young age, he was not so angry.

Ning Huaijin didn't know what the crux of Ning Yan's behavior was today, he was panicked and felt that Ning Yan in front of him was too strange.

Ning Yan didn't seem to be just angry, his anger seemed to be derived from pain and grievance, and those emotions were mixed together in a mess, vividly and clearly appearing on his face.

He looked sad and disappointed, and the brief emotional vent seemed to take away his arrogance. Ning Huaijin watched helplessly as Ning Yan stood firmly on the table with one hand, and his shoulders bent down in an obvious arc, as if It's an instinctive desire to hide myself.

Ning Huaijin actually understood that if he wanted Ning Yan to stop being so stubborn, in fact, as long as he refuted what he said just now and told Ning Yan that it was not like that, he had never thought about it that way from the beginning to the end, and the matter would be over.

——But Ning Huaijin couldn't do it.

His nature is like this, just as he clearly rejected Ning Yan's feelings that were considered in vain, but he was still speechless by Ning Yan's "Do you really have no feelings for me?" The sentence was knocked out by Ning Yan, and it seemed to be squeezed into his life little by little.

Ning Huaijin couldn't lie to Ning Yan, let alone herself.

He was sure that he had feelings for Ning Yan, and he didn't force himself to stay by Ning Yan's side because of the word "imperial power".But Ning Yan insisted on making him distinguish clearly between "family affection" and "love", and Ning Huaijin thought that she couldn't do it either.

If he could do it, he wouldn't have agreed to Ning Yan from the very beginning, why did he come to this day.

"Uncle Emperor." Ning Yan supported the table and slowly sat back on the chair.

His movements were as brittle as a rusty armor that hadn't been maintained for a long time. Ning Huaijin watched from the side, feeling that all the bones in his body would crack with his movements.

The young little emperor seemed to have aged a few years in just a few words. The rampant energy in him disappeared at some point, and he looked lifeless, as if he had sunk into a pool of still water in an instant.

"I am the emperor." Ning Yan said in a low voice, "I cannot beg the emperor to love me."

There was deep self-mockery and disappointment in his tone, and his voice was soft and soft, as if he was really sad.

Ning Huaijin's heart ached for a moment, and she almost wanted to explain it first, or coax others -- as long as Ning Yan stopped being so sad.

"His Majesty--"

But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Ning Huaijin suddenly fell silent before she could say anything.

Because Ning Huaijin suddenly discovered that at this moment, a thought that can be called a low-level thought appeared in his heart - if Ning Yan was disappointed in him because of this, and even felt sad and wanted to turn around, it was actually not impossible.

A step-by-step emperor who marries a wife and has children has a much safer reputation than an emperor who has broken his sleeves with his uncle.

As soon as this thought came up, Ning Huaijin felt a stabbing pain in his chest.He frowned, forced himself to restrain the instinct to caress his chest, and took a deep breath.

——Didn't he think so at first, Ning Huaijin thought.

It is true that he has friendship with Ning Yan, but because of this, can he really stop Ning Yan from walking on the "right path" for his own satisfaction?

Even Ning Huaijin didn't realize it himself, and when he thought of this idea after two years, his thoughts and worries had unconsciously changed from "the reputation of Prince Gong's Mansion" to "the reputation of Ning Yan".

Ning Huaijin clearly had a hundred feelings in his heart, but it seemed like he couldn't feel anything, he just felt empty for a while, not thinking about anything.

— Forget it, Ning Huaijin thought.As long as Ning Yan is willing, it doesn't matter whether he is sad and wants to go back to marry a wife and have children, or he still can't let go and just wants to be with him.

As long as Ning Yan is happy, he doesn't care about anything.

Ning Yan obtained some kind of answer in Ning Huaijin's long silence, he hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled weakly and self-deprecatingly.

"Uncle Huang." Ning Yan lowered his eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "I was wrong before...it was my wishful thinking, and my wishful thinking caused a lot of trouble for Uncle Huang."

Ning Yan didn't wait for Ning Huaijin to speak this time, so he raised his voice to call He Wenting.

He Wenting was just outside the door when he heard the loud noise in the room. He was worried outside for a long time, but finally heard the sound inside, so he hurriedly took the whisk, pushed the door open and entered the room.

The inner hall was in a mess, and there were fragments of teacup ornaments all over the floor. Ning Yan and Ning Huaijin stood and sat with each other's expressions on each other's faces, and both of them looked heartbroken.

Where are these two masters making trouble here? He Wenting complained incessantly in his heart, saying to himself that they were flirting with each other a few days ago, why are they arguing again.

And from this appearance, it seems that Ning Yan was in charge of the quarrel alone, and Ning Huaijin was in charge of "submissiveness".

He Wenting doesn't know what's going on between the two of them, obviously the relationship seems to be getting better, but why are they arguing twice in three days, as if the fights of the first ten years have been accumulated in the past two years.

"It's cold outside, take the prince home." Ning Yan said: "Tell me to be careful on the road, don't slip your feet."

After Ning Yan finished speaking, without looking at Ning Huaijin, she stood up on her own, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

Ning Huaijin wanted to stop him to say something, but before she could speak, Ning Yan had already left.

So Ning Huaijin could only sigh, turned around and walked out of the hall.

He Wenting followed Ning Huaijin step by step, his attitude was still respectful and polite.He has followed Ning Yan for so many years, and he has a clear understanding of his character.Not to mention being angry for a while, even if Ning Huaijin really made Ning Yan unhappy, Ning Yan would not really hold grudges against this little emperor uncle, so respect should still be respected.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much about it." He Wenting stood under the eaves in front of the hall and advised in a low voice: "Your Majesty may just be unhappy for a while, maybe it will be fine after a few days."

Ning Huaijin shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "It's my fault. Your Majesty should be angry with me."

"How could it be?" He Wenting said hastily: "Your Majesty's heart for Wang Ye, Wang Ye knows best in his heart, how could he really be angry with Wang Ye, otherwise he wouldn't worry that the sky outside would freeze Wang Ye."

The more Ning Huaijin heard such words now, the more unhappy she felt, so she sighed and said nothing.

He is also very confused now, he wants to grab Ning Yan and explain it clearly, so that he will not feel so sad, but he also feels that since Ning Yan has said "wishful wishful thinking", how can he do it again? Rushing up to ask Ning Yan to be as devoted to him as before, wouldn't that be - isn't that too aggressive.

He Wentinghe knew that since the two of them could quarrel for this reason, it was not a trivial matter that could be resolved in a few words, so he sighed in embarrassment, and did not persuade him any more, but called two servants to send Ning Huaijin off.

After this day, Ning Yan started a "cold war" with Ning Huaijin for no reason.

In fact, the cold war is not necessarily the case. Two years ago, when Prince Gong first learned of Ning Yan's intentions, he was really hard-hearted, avoiding it, and almost refused to say a word to Ning Yan.

Compared with Ning Huaijin's "Cold War", Ning Yan's "passive resistance" is not an exaggeration.He didn't express much, he still kept in contact with each other in the court, and everything was normal in the next court, but he refused to call Ning Huaijin into the palace to talk when he had time like before.

At first, He Wenting thought that the two masters were simply arguing, but after watching for two days, he felt that something was wrong - Ning Yan seemed to be slowly taking back Ning Huaijin's privileges.

It's okay to stop interfering with the living officer's records. Anyway, Ning Huaijin doesn't come here often recently, so there's nothing to remember.

But Ning Yan actually ordered the people in front of the imperial court, saying that when Ning Huaijin came in the future, he should also report like everyone else, otherwise if he was doing other things in the palace, it would be embarrassing for the prince to enter the door rashly.

These words can fool others, how could they fool He Wenting.The most embarrassing servant in front of the imperial court felt bitter when he heard the news, and thought that Ning Yan might be really angry this time.

It happened that Ning Huaijin came into the palace that afternoon, and he rested at home for two or three days, the more he waited, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he just wanted to find a reason to enter the palace to meet Ning Yan.He racked his brains to think of a reason for a long time, and finally pulled out an excuse of "the forbidden army changes defense at the end of the year", and entered the palace in a self-deceiving manner.

It's just that he just walked to the gate of Zichen Palace that day when he was blocked by He Wenting who was wandering around the gate.

This big servant has been in the palace for so many years, and he has cultivated to become a master. He didn't say that Ning Yan needs his notification to enter now. I am not very refreshed, I just took a rest after taking the medicine, I have to go in first to see if I am asleep, and then come out to report to the prince.

However, even though He Wenting had already said it so carefully, Ning Huaijin recognized it as an excuse in an instant.

He understood that this was what Ning Yan meant.

Otherwise, not to mention taking medicine and resting, even if Ning Yan really fell asleep and couldn't wake up, He Wenting would still respectfully invite him in.

"Then there's no need to report back." Ning Huaijin said in a low voice, "Since your Majesty is not feeling well, then...then rest more and tell the Tai Hospital to take care of you more and don't slack off."

This was the first time in Ning Huaijin's life that Ning Yan stopped him outside. Holding the memorial in his hand, he took two steps back in a daze, as if he wanted to leave, but after taking a few steps, he felt reluctant, so he looked back. Look at the closed temple door.

At this moment, Ning Huaijin suddenly discovered that he was actually not as magnanimous and magnanimous as he imagined. He could "sacrifice" his own will willingly and without complaint to fulfill Ning Yan's reputation.

He is selfish and greedy, contradictory and fickle - he clearly told Ning Yan to do as he pleases, but when Ning Yan really withdrew the hand that was always open to him, he felt uncontrollably regretful and unwilling.
