Although Miss Jiang Er is young, she is very courageous. In just a few days, she has become another general under Ning Yan's command - this little girl is almost as capable as her father. In just seven days, Almost half of the rich and powerful families in the capital knew that His Majesty and Jiang Zhaoyi, who had just entered the palace, had a bad temper and hated seeing each other all day long.

In the end, the words spread around from the outside, and then passed back to Jing Zhan's ears. Ning Yan, who was caught in the busy schedule of the National Teacher's Mansion, also listened attentively.

"Extraordinary talent." The young emperor peeled the melon seeds and praised: "This is definitely an extraordinary talent."

Jing Zhan was so angry that he almost took away the two plates of dim sum in front of him. In the end, he still remembered Ning Yan's identity rationally, so he reluctantly left half a plate of sugar-fried chestnuts for him.

"What a girl, she spreads nonsense outside all day long." Jing Zhan said worriedly, "I won't be able to marry again in the future."

"Stop wronging my little sister, she relies on resourcefulness—" Ning Yan gloated and said, "I heard from my little sister that she first passed this matter on to the little granddaughter of Princess Ruiping's family at the flower viewing feast. , and then turned around and was told by the little princess to the second daughter of the Wang family of Yuejun. However, the little girl of the Wang family of Yuejun can't hide things, so she turned around and told her cousin."

The relationship was messed up, and the more Jing Zhan listened to it, the more he had a headache, and he said quickly: "My God, Your Majesty, you can accept the supernatural power."

"Let's talk about it." Ning Yan leaned on the soft couch, and said nonchalantly: "If you can't get married, you can't get married. Why, you can't afford her?"

Jing Zhan: "..."

Master Guoshi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was so angry that he took away the half plate of fried chestnuts.

Fortunately, Ning Yan was quick and quick to grab a handful from the plate, leaving behind a few "fish that slipped through the net".

"Why are you so busy today?" Jing Zhan held the porcelain plate, determined not to be out of sight, out of mind, and hurriedly said, "Aren't you dealing with political affairs in the study room, and aren't you going to see Jiang Xuan?"

Ning Yan went to Luoyun Palace every now and then. From the beginning, he just sat and walked, and gradually he was able to stay in Luoyun Palace for a while, staying for two or three hours, occasionally staying for a meal.

There were rumors spreading outside, and there were noses and eyes, but Ning Yan seemed to have a better relationship with Jiang Xuan, and it was not as tense as it was at first.

But until today, he still didn't spend the night in Luoyun Palace, every time he left after it was dark, and never stayed overnight.

"Today is not in a hurry." Ning Yan peeled the chestnut in his hand, and the steaming sweet and greasy fragrance came out from the chestnut shell.The little mink in his sleeve twisted restlessly, poked out a small head from the cuff, and stretched its neck to grab some food. Ning Yan knocked on its head with a smile, and said casually: "How about you?" Not in time."

"You still need to pick a time to meet your own concubine?" Jing Zhan looked at the sky and said, "Besides, it won't be long before dark."

Ning Yan threw the chestnuts into his mouth, smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

Jing Zhan didn't bother to guess what kind of riddle he was playing. Outsiders didn't know, so how could he not be clear.If Ning Yan could really be snatched away by fakes easily, then he wouldn't be like an ascetic monk these years, refusing to get married or accept a house.

As for the current style, most likely it is for people to see.

"Oh yes." Jing Zhan suddenly remembered something, patted his forehead, put away the plate he had been holding for a long time, turned into the house, and took out a handkerchief.

"The spice you asked me to check last time, I have some clues." Jing Zhan shook the handkerchief in his hand, threw it into Ning Yan's arms, and said, "Smell it, it smells like this. "

Ning Yan picked up the handkerchief and sniffed it, then closed his eyes and thought about it carefully.

"It's a bit similar." Ning Yan said, "But there seems to be something different...Is it a matter of the ratio of the fragrance powder?"

"No." Jing Zhan shook his head and said, "I've tried all the spices I know, as well as similar herbs, but there is always one that doesn't taste right. I went back and asked my master, and he was fine clue."

"So, there is at least one kind of spice in it, which neither you nor Mr. Yan have seen?" Ning Yan asked.

"Yes." Jing Zhan said, "I will continue to think of ways to find other flowers and plants, but—"

Ning Yan casually patted the chestnut crumbs off his hands, and said, "But what?"

"You'd better not go to Luoyun Palace." Jing Zhan said: "Jiang Xuan's origin is unknown, and she still carries spices that I can't find out. No matter how you think about it, it's not a good person. Now you have no queen, standing alone in the palace. Here, the flaws exposed are too great. If Ruan Yin is more ruthless and finds a way to manipulate you, the throne will fall back to the family."

Ning Yan didn't know if he listened or not, so he smiled again and hummed.

Jing Zhan felt tired seeing his reluctance, but he also understood that Ning Yan knew these things much better than him, so he simply waved his hand and ignored him.

Seeing that the sun was setting towards the west outside, Jing Zhan was thinking whether to stay with Ning Yan for dinner or send him home by himself, when he saw Linglong walking in from outside.

"National Teacher." Linglong saluted Jing Zhanfu and greeted her softly.

Jing Zhan nodded, but remained silent.

He always felt that Linglong was not the same as before, but he couldn't see anything wrong.But recently Ning Yan often took Linglong with him, especially when he went to Jiang Xuan, it seemed that he took Linglong more often than He Wenting.

"Your Majesty." Linglong said softly to Ning Yan again: "Jiang Zhaoyi from Luoyun Palace sent a maid to say that the small kitchen has brought in a chicken and pearl stew today, and asked His Majesty if he would like to have dinner."

Hey, this is not looking at each other with distaste, Master Guoshi sighed in his heart, seeing the joy in the eyes is not far away.

Ning Yan finally sat up from the soft couch, took the handkerchief from Linglong, wiped his hands, and said, "The time is coming, isn't it?"

"Are you waiting for her to take the initiative to come to you?" Jing Zhan reacted: "Why bother."

"I always want to give her a chance to test where my bottom line is." Ning Yan stood up, and Ren Linglong came up to tidy up his wrinkled clothes, without deliberately turning her back, and said bluntly: "Otherwise , How can she explain to the master behind it."

Jiang Xuan didn't expect Ning Yan to agree.

When the servant in front of the imperial court came to pass the order to her to tidy up and receive him, she still didn't react for a while.

After all, Ning Yan has never been in her palace these days, no matter how she hints or bluntly says, she has never been willing to stay in her palace.Every time he comes, he sits for two hours at most and then leaves, and rarely chats with her. Although he has a meal with her when he is in a good mood, most of the time he just looks at her in a daze.

When she sent someone to invite her, she didn't give any hope at all, but she didn't expect that Ning Yan really changed her mind and wanted to come to her palace for dinner at this time.

"Your Majesty." Seeing her in a daze, Jiang Xuan's maid hurriedly pushed her arm and called, "Get up and tidy up."

"...Yes." Jiang Xuan nodded hurriedly, and replied: "It is time to clean up."

Her eldest maid quickly helped her up and pressed her in front of the dressing table. While untangling her hair and recombing her hair, she asked in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, do you remember what the Empress Dowager taught you?" .”

Every time Ning Yan wanted to come, the grand lady would ask this question every time, and Jiang Xuan was used to it.

Looking at the beautiful woman's face in the bronze mirror, she blinked slowly, covering up the vivid emotions in her eyes, and became indifferent again.

"Remember." Jiang Xuan said.

"That's good." The big palace lady said as she tied her hair in a bun, but instead of using various hairpins to fix it, she picked out a lake-blue hairband from the dressing table and wrapped it around her hair. It looks a little plain.

Jiang Xuan quietly let her fiddle with it. The dull atmosphere in the room made her feel a little depressed. She looked back from the bronze mirror and met the eyes of the big court lady. She quickly opened her eyes subconsciously. .

"If you see Your Majesty in a while, don't do that." The Grand Palace Maid said, "That man doesn't shy away like your empress."

Her voice was cold, with an inexplicable aloofness.Jiang Xuan pursed her lips, not daring to argue with her.

This is Nan Xin, the great court lady sent by Ruan Yin. The empress dowager loves Jiang Zhaoyi, who has just entered the palace, and has never been taught the rules. She is afraid that she will make His Majesty displeased by any omissions in the rules, so she sent her close and capable person to help .

In other words, it was to "point up" Jiang Xuan.

"Who is His Majesty's sweetheart?" Jiang Xuan asked: "...Why would he force himself to look at me every day instead of expressing his heart to his sweetheart."

"That doesn't bother you to worry about it." Nan Xin said forcefully: "If Your Majesty and that person can have a good relationship, there will be no chance for you to soar into the sky today, Your Majesty."

As Nan Xin said, she turned sideways and picked up a snow-blue coat from the hanger beside her, and said, "Major, please change."

The strange feeling in Jiang Xuan's heart became stronger and stronger.

From seeing Ning Yan to now, all the clothes Ruan Yin prepared for her were slightly old-fashioned colors, either lake blue and dark green, or red sandalwood and blue, all to make her look more like "that person".

But although the dress in Nan Xin's hand was simple and elegant, it was brightly colored, completely different from what Ruan Yin usually sent.

"Why did Your Majesty make an exception today?" Jiang Xuan opened her hands, Ren Nanxin changed her dress, and asked in a deep voice: "The Empress Dowager asked me to ensure that he came to Luoyun Palace today because there is something special today. ."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to ask so many questions." Nan Xin said, "Just do your own thing."

"It's me who gets along with His Majesty, and it's always good to know more." Jiang Xuan's tone of voice has been adjusted, and it doesn't sound a bit the same anymore.She paused slightly for a moment, raised her eyes, and looked at Nan Xin again: "...the more you know, the more you know, and I can do what I like."

Jiang Xuan learned very quickly, and even Nan Xin had to admit that she had already learned a bit of charm just by giving tips from someone who cared about her before she had ever met Ning Huaijin.Without the neutralizing bronze mirror in the middle, her eyes looked much colder than before.

"Today is the day when His Majesty met his sweetheart." Nan Xin seemed to give in a step, and said, "So as long as you invite, Your Majesty will definitely come today."
