Dingjiangshan

On New Year's Eve, because Ning Yan had said in advance that everything should be kept simple, the scene was not too big.

In addition to the early morning celebration, the luncheon in the palace was also held very early. Ning Yan sat with him for a while, rewarding what should be rewarded, what should be praised, and watching it with the meaning of the important ministers at the banquet. After singing and dancing for a while, they tacitly deduced that they were uncomfortable after being drunk, and left the venue early.

This year's New Year's Eve, the clan members are not included in the big banquet, and they will enter the palace in batches to pay their respects until the first and second day of the new year.Ruan Yin was not in the palace, and Ning Yan was free from many trivial matters such as dealing with his wife, so after the palace banquet was over, he had nothing to worry about, and the whole person was free.

In the past, every New Year's day, the New Year's Day in the morning and the banquet in the afternoon, I was always so busy from morning to night, let alone being lazy, it was difficult to sit down and rest for a while.Fortunately, due to the war this year, many face-saving things have been saved. In his spare time, Ning Yan can breathe a sigh of relief and think about the "Chinese New Year" matters.

Although in previous years Ning Huaijin would mostly stay in the palace for New Year's Eve, but this year is different, Ning Huaijin moved into the palace with great difficulty, and Ning Yan wanted to entertain him privately.

At the luncheon, Ning Yan left earlier, but Ning Huaijin couldn't get away with him, so he stayed with him for about an hour before leaving Linhua Hall and taking the same route back to Zichen Hall.

At the beginning, Ning Huaijin finished her "heartfelt words" in court, and moved into the palace within two days.He nominally lived in Linhua Palace, but after entering the palace, he didn't even touch the door of Linhua Palace, so He Wenting politely "packed" him to Ning Yan with his things.

But Ning Yan was careful in his work. He had sorted out the people in the palace from top to bottom three times before, and all the confidantes left behind were strict and well-behaved confidants. They all wished to throw their eyes and ears outside when they were on duty. The one who communicated with the outside world.

Even so, Ning Yan was still not at ease."Linglong" who had faked her death in Nanyang Mansion back then changed her face and changed her name to "Chenlu". Like Qin Liu, she was transferred to the bright side by Ning Yan, and took care of the maids inside and outside Zichen Palace for him.

With He Wenting and her here, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is an iron bucket in Ningyan Palace.

When Ning Huaijin came back, Ning Yan had already changed into light and soft casual clothes, and was guarding a smoker to warm his hands. There was a ball of white flowers on his lap, which looked like a big fluffy ball from a distance.

"Why did you come back?" Ning Yan was fiddling with the stove in his hand, and was stuffing the incense sticks into the gap of the stove, when he heard him enter the door, he said without raising his head, "I've been waiting for quite a while."

"Zheng Shaohui was dragged by them to toast, and I untied him." Ning Huaijin took the warm towel from the maid and wiped his face, and said, "The banquet over there was just over, and it snowed a few days ago. The road was still slippery, and I came back after taking care of a few older ministers."

"Thank you, Uncle." Ning Yan finally managed to stuff the incense slices into the heated iron plate, put down the silver brazing iron in his hand with a smile, patted the floating ash on his hands, and said, "It's New Year's Eve, they will inevitably get carried away." , if I hadn’t dodged quickly at the banquet just now, I’m afraid they would have to offer a round of wine one by one.”

Ning Yan couldn't help moving his body while speaking, and the big fur ball nestled on his leg seemed to feel it, and rolled lazily, revealing a little pink ear tip.

Only then did Ning Huaijin realize that this was the little mink that Ning Yan always held in his arms before the expedition.

At that time, the mink was thin and long, and the tail was no bigger than a forearm. As a result, it was raised in the animal workshop for two years.

"How did you find it?" Ning Huaijin asked strangely.

"How can you not bring this back." Ning Yan picked up Xiao Diao and shook it in front of him, blinking slyly: "This is our son, and if you come first, first come first, Ah Jing still has to call him brother."

Ning Huaijin: "..."

The little mink didn't know if he was really stupid or fake, he tilted his head when he heard this, and licked his paw at Ning Huaijin.

Ning Huaijin: "..."

Prince Gong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he just felt that there was not a single word serious in this sentence, and he didn't know what to say about him for a while.

"Don't stand there stupidly, Huai Jin." Ning Yan smiled and moved to the side, giving him a seat for one person, then patted his side, and said, "Come and drink some tea, sober up, Take a short break in the afternoon, the rest of today's work is ours."

Obviously this sentence sounded a little serious, but Ning Huaijin still felt a slight chill down his back, so he couldn't help but look at Ning Yan more.

In fact, I don't blame him for thinking too much, it's really... It's really that Ning Yan sometimes messes up without measure.

Ning Huaijin didn't know if it was because there was no one around her for so many years, but Ning Yan thought that if she didn't eat meat, she was surprised when she did.In addition, he happened to catch up with Xiumu at the end of the year, so he had a lot of free time, and he had to pester Ning Huaijin almost all the time. Every time Ning Huaijin went out, he had to rack his brains for a long time to think of reasons to get out of his "devil's clutches." "Get out.

The couch was so big that it was more than enough for six or seven people, but Ning Huaijin still followed Ning Yan's wishes, walked over and sat in the gap he moved out.

He Wenting brought tea and refreshments for Ning Huaijin, took away the cold towel in his hand, smiled at the two masters, and left.

"After you left the table just now, Prince Yue still grabbed me and talked for a long time." Ning Huaijin smiled and said, "I was trying to find out what you meant."

"What's the use of asking me? If you have the skills, why don't you go to Shu's house twice more." Ning Yan combed with his hands, straightened Xiao Diao's messy hair just now, and said with emotion: "It's been so many years, and it's not until today It’s been a safe year.”

Ning Huaijin took a sip of tea, and turned her head to look at him when she heard the words.

Ning Yan clasped the stove, and sat on one side without sitting. Although he said it lightly, Ning Huaijin knew that this "stability" was easy to say, but in fact he had worked hard for more than ten years to get it.

Ning Huaijin felt sorry for his hard work, leaned over and kissed him, and then gave Ning Yan a piece of cloud cake from the plate.

"It will be fine in the future." Ning Huaijin said, "I will accompany Your Majesty."

Strange to say, Ning Yan used to be the most impatient to hear what Ning Huaijin said about "lord" and "subject". When Ning Huaijin said such words, she felt a different kind of charm.

"That's good." Ning Yan leaned over and took the piece of cloud cake from Ning Huaijin's fingertips, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Fifth Brother came into the palace and told me about the construction of the imperial mausoleum. Son—well, the engineering department has released the blueprint, and I will show it to the emperor in a few days."

Ning Huaijin was a little surprised when he heard the words, but after thinking about it carefully, although Ning Yan was young, he had been enthroned for ten years after all, so there was nothing wrong with preparing for it.

"Your Majesty wants to hand it over to Ning Ci?" Ning Huaijin asked.

"I have to find an errand for Fifth Brother." Ning Yan said: "After thinking about it, this job is decent and not tiring, and there are various departments to help, just right. Besides, Fifth Brother is a prudent person, I think it won't be a bad job. "

"Indeed, Ning Ci is down-to-earth and steady, and he should do his best." Ning Huaijin said, "Just show the blueprint to the engineering company, and show me what to do."

"It's really fresh to ask this question." Ning Yan looked at him amusedly, and said, "It seems that after a hundred years, Uncle Huang won't sleep there."

Ning Huaijin: "..."

Ning Yan, who has no taboos, can say what those who celebrate the New Year say a hundred years later.

Ning Huaijin sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, it's the same to bring up this matter after the New Year."

"Okay, okay, don't mention it." Ning Yan tilted his head and smiled: "Say something nice... Uncle Huang, go and change your clothes, and lie down while it's still early, otherwise there will be many things at night and you will be sleepy." I don't have to sleep anymore."

When Ning Huaijin heard what he said, he felt that he still had plans.And judging by his eagerness to try, it's probably not a normal arrangement like watching the lanterns while watching the new year.

Ning Huaijin looked at him suspiciously, but Ning Yan just smiled without saying a word, urging him to go to rest earlier, it seemed that he was not going to tell him in advance.

If Ning Yan wanted to hide something, no one would be able to find out.Prince Gong had no choice but to follow him.

However, Ning Huaijin never expected that when he woke up, what awaited him was not some fancy surprise, but two sets of almost "plain" casual clothes.

"...Going out of the palace?" Ning Huaijin thought she had heard wrong, so she asked again.

"Isn't it good?" Ning Yan had already changed his clothes, and was measuring Ning Huaijin's body with his coat, and said casually: "Today is New Year's Eve, there is no curfew on the street, it's not very good to go out and wander around, so as not to be stuck in the Everyone in the palace is dumbfounded."

Ning Huaijin: "..."

"But..." Prince Gong said with difficulty: "This capital, under the feet of the Son of Heaven—"

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, of course there will be no thieves making trouble, so it's very safe." Ning Yan said confidently, "That's why I'm going out to play."

Prince Gong was silently right.

Is he talking about security issues!The majestic capital, at the feet of the emperor, threw a stone and hit the court officials. Ning Yan went out to visit the night market so swaggeringly, and it would be known to the whole capital before tomorrow morning.

However, before Ning Huaijin euphemistically expressed that it was inappropriate, Ning Yan seemed to have lost his patience. He shook off his coat and went to "serve" Ning Huaijin to get dressed with a smile.

How could Ning Huaijin really let him wait on her, so she quickly refused, and when he realized it, he had already packed it up with half-push and half-push.

"That's right." Ning Yan said with satisfaction: "When I was in Nanyang Mansion, I thought about it. Although there is no king in the world, but outside, no matter what you do, it seems that the name is not right. ...For me, only when I come back to the capital and come back to our house, I feel dignified."

The three words "our family" sound ordinary and ordinary, but like a very thin needle, it gently pricked Ning Huaijin's chest, making his heartstrings sway slightly.

"So I was thinking at the time, no matter what we did outside, we should do the same when we go home." Ning Yan said.
