Dingjiangshan

For Ning Huaijin, it was enough for Ning Huaijin.

According to Ning Yan's intention, the dragon's lair in his imperial mausoleum has more than doubled in size, and more things were added according to the prince's specifications, which obviously meant that he would sleep with him forever.

——Your Majesty is very clingy, and even after a hundred years, he refuses to part with him.

Ning Huaijin imagined the scene, and couldn't help but find it interesting.

Ning Huaijin had something in her heart, but she insisted on waiting for Ning Ci to report back and leave with the blueprint, before she said with a smile, "It seems that Your Majesty has thought it through long ago."

"Isn't that good?" Ning Yan said with a smile, "Or is it that Uncle Huang is not happy?"

"Happy—" Ning Huaijin elongated her tone slightly, and teased, "I'm very happy."

Ning Yan is satisfied now, he has been living more and more recently, he is not deliberately acting like a coquettish to offend poor Ning Huaijin like he was at the beginning, nor is he insisting on acting as an indomitable adult in front of Ning Huaijin as before. As obsessive as he was when he was a child, he was so naive and natural.

However, Ning Huaijin was also happy to pamper him. In his opinion, Ning Yan was tired enough dealing with others, and it would be a good thing to relax in front of him.

"If Uncle Huang says he doesn't want to, it's too late." Ning Yan blinked and said with a smile, "It's likely that construction will start next month."

"It doesn't matter to me." Ning Huaijin was also in a good mood, and she rarely laughed a few words, and said, "It's just that after a few hundred years, some descendants know that there is no monogamous and half concubine buried in His Majesty's mausoleum, but one instead." Prince, I don't know what to think."

"Think whatever you want." Ning Yan was the best at climbing the pole in front of Ning Huaijin, and he beat his palms, pretending to be surprised: "But Uncle Huang reminded me."

"Remind me?" Ning Huaijin asked unexpectedly.

"I heard that the mausoleum of the royal family in the previous dynasty was attacked by tomb thieves. In my opinion, in addition to repairing the imperial mausoleum to be stronger, we have to make two preparations." Ning Yan said: "Why don't the emperor live with me?" one--"

"What are you talking about? It's not too bad luck." Ning Huaijin scolded with a smile: "You're only so old when the sky is bright, and you think too far. If you have the skills, why don't you do something serious."

"Is there anything to do?" Ning Yan touched a book from the desk and opened it, exaggeratedly covering his face, and said nonchalantly: "The backlog of things in the previous dynasty is almost done, and the cabinet is watching the rest. I managed to rest for two days, please don't arrest me to read the book again."

Ning Huaijin stretched out his hand to take the book out of Ning Yan's hand "unselfishly", and asked him meaningfully: "What did your majesty promise me on New Year's Eve earlier?"

Ning Yan really didn't think about it. He was asked by Ning Huaijin, and subconsciously recalled the scene of that night. However, when he carefully thought about Ning Huaijin's archery technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, he was also stunned. I don't remember what I promised.

Ning Huaijin just looked at his suspicious eyes and knew that he had completely forgotten, but it's no wonder that Ning Yan has been so busy these days, the books on the desk are taller than each other, and he can't remember one or two. It's normal for a joke to come out casually.

"There is a royal courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing." Ning Huaijin reminded him: "This season, the begonias are in full bloom."

Ning Yan was at a loss at first, then suddenly realized something, and stood up awkwardly.

"Ouch—" Ning Yan patted his forehead angrily, and said, "There have been too many things recently, and I completely forgot about it."

"It's okay." Ning Huaijin said with a smile, "I'm thinking about His Majesty."

Ning Yan is young and also has a playful personality, but it's just that he has to be restrained when he sits in the court on weekdays.Earlier when he was so busy that he didn't have time to eat, he unconsciously complained a few words, and Ning Huaijin remembered them in his heart.

Now that the transfer order that should be issued has been issued, and the officials of the two prefectures have also left, Ning Huaijin secretly ordered that he was going to take Ning Yan out to relax.

What's more, all the courtiers have also endured these days, so it's good to take a few days off from the court, and let those old guys go home to enjoy a few days of family happiness.

If it was a nearby place, Prince Gong would definitely not dare to take Ning Yan to play, but if it was a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, then it doesn't matter.

"That's just right, while I have nothing to do recently, I can stay there for a few more days to recover from my fatigue." Ning Yan said: "Ask the nephew to make preparations, and choose a day with fine weather to leave."

"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day." Ning Huaijin raised her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you invite your majesty today."

Ning Yan was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously thinking that today might be too late, but when his eyes touched Ning Huaijin's expression, he suddenly realized something, then squinted his eyes, and said meaningfully: "It turns out that the emperor was also early Think carefully."

"Your Majesty has long-sightedness, thinking about things that will happen a hundred years later. I am short-sighted, so I can only think about the pleasure in front of me." Ning Huaijin said: "If Your Majesty hadn't called me into the palace to look at the pictures, I must have Someone has come to invite His Majesty."

Prince Gong was born in the army, usually he seemed to be a gentleman, and he arranged things quietly, which was a bit more agile than Ning Yan.

He seemed to have "premeditated" a long time ago. The nephew had already packed his travel gear a few days ago, and the imperial guards also mobilized their confidantes, prepared their chariots, horses and sedan chairs, and just waited for Ning Yan to nod.

How could Ning Yan say no to going out alone with Ning Huaijin to relax, Dang even made a decision, let go of the matter in hand, and called He Wenting to give some instructions.

"For matters in the palace, if it's a trivial matter, go to Mrs. Shu for advice. If she's not sure, just leave it alone and don't send a letter." Ning Yan said: "I want to stay in another courtyard with the emperor for seven or eight years. God, if there is nothing important during the period, don't bother."

He Wenting quickly answered yes.

He is a servant in the palace, so it's okay to go out to the palace on weekdays to run errands. If Ning Yan wants to spend the night outside, it's inconvenient for him to follow him, so he can only stay in the palace to look after the house.

But fortunately Ning Huaijin was with Ning Yan, so He Wenting didn't worry too much.

"Apart from the teas and fruits that His Majesty likes to use every day, what else would Your Majesty want to bring?" He Wenting asked: "The other courtyard is no better than a palace. I'm afraid there are not enough people to serve you. Your Majesty should bring two caring cooks with you." go?"

"No need." Ning Yan glanced at Ning Huaijin with a smile, and said, "Since Uncle Huang wants to take me to play, I just want to be a shopkeeper. If I'm really hungry, when I come back, you Ask him for an explanation."

How could He Wenting dare to answer this question, he quickly smiled and said twice.

Ning Huaijin had already arranged all the affairs properly, and Ning Yan finished giving orders for things in and out of the palace, and followed Ning Huaijin on the carriage going out of the city.

The outskirts of Beijing are not far away, only a hundred miles after leaving the city, and it will be there in two hours.

This Begonia Courtyard was Ning Zongyuan's private collection in the early years, and it was repaired extremely elegantly and exquisitely.There are no buildings, golden tiles, or those extravagant objects that are eye-catching. There are only five or six bamboo buildings and wooden houses in the huge main courtyard, and a large and exquisitely renovated garden.

When Ning Zongyuan was still alive, no one else was allowed to set foot in this other courtyard. Even the servants who took care of the other courtyard could only live in a corner of the outer courtyard farther away. Apart from renovating the flowers and cleaning the house, no one was allowed to set foot. people enter.

Ning Huaijin had only heard about this other courtyard before, but it was her first time here.

There is a large natural hot spring next to the crabapple forest behind the main courtyard, so the other courtyard is much warmer than the outside.It's only early spring now, but the flowers and plants in the garden of the other courtyard have grown lush and lush, and it doesn't look much different from the end of spring.

"In the early years, the emperor liked this other courtyard very much, and now it seems that it really has a special flavor." Ning Huaijin said: "It's no wonder that the emperor holds it so tightly. King Yong'an asked him to visit twice, but he refuted it." come back."

"I heard that this other courtyard was built under the supervision of the late emperor himself." Ning Yan stretched out his hand and gestured, and said: "The flowers and plants in this place were all figured out by the late emperor himself. Put it next to his pillow. King Yong'an obviously wanted to humiliate himself by saying this."

While talking and joking, the two of them had already wandered around the crabapple forest at the back of the main courtyard. The crabapple flowers had been urged to bloom by the heat of the hot spring, and the shadows of the trees swayed, casting a large mottled shadow on the surface of the hot spring water.

The waiters in the other courtyard were quite dedicated. They had prepared warm wine and refreshments by the water earlier. Ning Yan casually twisted a piece of Yunpian Cake and tasted it, but luckily it was still hot.

So he became interested, and simply sat on the ground by the water, then took off his shoes and socks, and stepped into the water.

Ever since he was exposed to the cold poison, Ning Yan has become a little fond of the heat and afraid of the cold. Now that winter has just passed, and the coldness of early spring has not completely passed away, he almost doesn't want to wake up when he touches the hot spring water for the first time.

"But having said that, if the emperor likes it, we can come here often in the future." Ning Yan turned around with a smile and said to Ning Huaijin: "The emperor also likes this place, so I will ask He Wenting to take this place away when I go back. Get up, I won't reward anyone anymore."

"That's fine." Ning Huaijin nodded and said, "This hot spring is not bad. Your Majesty often comes here to take a bath, so it must be good for your health."

Ning Huaijin walked to the edge of the water, knelt down half-kneeled, and reached in to test the temperature.

Ning Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling mischievous, so he quietly took off his outer shirt, leaving only a light and soft inner garment on his body.

He moved slightly to the side, then picked up half a handful of water at the right time, and poured it on Ning Huaijin quickly.

Prince Gong was caught off guard by a sneak attack, and a few drops of warm water splashed on his cheeks. He was angry and funny, and was about to talk to Ning Yan, when Ning Yan slid into the water deftly, his whole body The person immediately swam a foot away.

Ning Yan also splashed a little water on his face, he wiped his face casually, his long hair wetly stuck to his cheek.

"Uncle Emperor." Ning Yan said with a smile: "Anyway, the servants are all in the outer courtyard, and there is no one else here, so don't worry about it, why don't you also come down and have a good time."
