Dingjiangshan

Ever since Ning Yan was drunk in Luoyun Palace that night, the relationship between him and Jiang Xuan has become delicate.

Jiang Zhaoyi, who has always been old-fashioned, started to walk out of Luoyun Palace, and would take the initiative to hang out in front of Ning Yan from time to time, either to come to the study to deliver soup, or to invite Ning Yan to enjoy the flowers and the scenery.

And Ning Yan actually acquiesced, and eight times out of ten, she followed her heart, and two of them were just in time for Ning Yan to discuss matters. The young little emperor really hurried the conversation, out of nowhere, Accompany Jiang Xuan to see the first blooming lotus in the Imperial Garden.

Gradually, there was talk in Miyagi, which probably meant that this Lady Zhaoyi had tricks to seduce Ning Yan, and she finally began to know the benefits of women.

In Miyagi, which is square and square, rumors spread like the wind and pervasive.There were even two maids who gossiped, and Ning Yan bumped into him.

At that time, the two little maids almost thought that Ning Yan was about to fly into a rage, and they were so frightened that they fought and pinched their palms with all their strength to not faint.Who knew that Ning Yan just looked at them indifferently, and fined them two months' salary under Shu Qiuyu's persuasion.

The two-month salary was neither painful nor itchy, but it intensified the rumors.After that, Jiang Zhaoyi also intentionally or unintentionally went to Ning Yan's place more, and often tentatively raised some requests, which were all satisfied by Ning Yan intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that this Jiang Zhaoyi is becoming more and more favored, even Jing Zhan, who hardly stays at home on weekdays, can hear her name everywhere.

"It seems that Your Majesty's new Lady Zhaoyi really suits His Majesty's wishes." With a few chess pieces in his hands, Jing Zhan teased the little Diao in Ning Yan's arms through the chessboard, and said casually: "These days, even All the little maids in the National Teacher's Mansion are praising the name of this Empress Zhaoyi."

As soon as Ning Yan heard that he was so eccentric, he knew that Jing Zhan thought that the rumors were in his ears and disturbed his tranquility.

"Understood." Ning Yan sighed helplessly, took a step back shamelessly, and said, "I asked He Wenting to clean up."

Jing Zhan gave a nonchalant hum, and threw a piece of sugar cake to Xiao Diao from the air.

Half a year later, the little mink seemed to have grown into a big mink, and his body was as long as Ning Yan's arms. At this time, he nimbly kicked Ning Yan's knees and leaped into the air, hugged the sugar cake and then rolled back. In his arms, the movements are smooth and smooth, and it seems that he is used to it.

"The rumors have spread outside the palace." Jing Zhan said again: "A Ling told me that the rumors of 'disagreement' you released before have almost disappeared, and there are still people who are thinking about bringing up the draft with you again. .”

"Yeah." Ning Yan looked at the chessboard, put a word on the desired position, and said casually, "I guessed it."

"My lord also has a..." Jing Zhan thought for a while, then counted the days: "There is also a—"

"20 days." Ning Yan took it naturally.

"Oh yes, it's been a month." Jing Zhan usually doesn't like to go out, and Ning Yan doesn't remember these things clearly: "Is there any news yet?"

Ning Yan thought of the letter he received a few days ago, and couldn't help pursing his lips, revealing an unconscious smile.

"No." Ning Yan said solemnly.

Jing Zhan: "..."

Fart, Master Guoshi gave a sound in his heart, he said that even the mink could tell you were smiling, and said no.

"Well, I sent a letter to report safety." Ning Yan pursed her lips and smiled, but still admitted: "There is nothing else."

Ning Yan didn't expect that Ning Huaijin would take the initiative to write to him, so when Ning Huaijin's letter arrived with Zheng Shaohui's front and back that day, he almost didn't realize it.

That afternoon, Ning Yan looked at the phrase "Is it okay" over and over again for two hours, happily. It wasn't until it was dark that he reluctantly folded the letter paper again and put it away in the wooden box.

Uncle Huang is guilty, Ning Yan thought, otherwise, with Ning Huaijin's temperament, even if the sky falls, he will not admit his mistakes.

This knowledge put Ning Yan in a good mood, and even for the next three or four days, his mood was quite bright, and he even smiled a little more sincerely when he looked at Jiang Xuan.

Jing Zhan had no intention of arguing with him on this trivial matter, and was also afraid that he would not be able to stop once he mentioned Ning Huaijin, so he just turned over this page and continued using the topic just now: "A Ling told me, In addition to the important ministers who sniffed at you before, there are also a few old princes and princesses who moved this heart. It seems that Shu Qiuyu is not destined to be the first wife, and they want to fight for it, and make a kiss with you. .”

"En." Ning Yan responded perfunctorily, his eyes still fell on the chessboard, and he didn't know if he listened or not.

"Clan relatives are no easier to fool than your courtiers. If you want to do something, you should intervene as soon as possible, so as to save them from making trouble in front of you. It will not be so easy to refuse." Jing Zhan paused and said: " ... I don't want to be chased by them and ask your red luan star if it's moving."

Ning Yan burst into a smile, and Jing Zhan immediately gave him a blank look.Ning Yan pursed her lips, and decided to save some face for this little boy, and not to laugh too much.

"Are you moving or not?" Ning Yan asked with a smile.

"...Who knows if it's moving or not!" Jing Zhan said angrily.

"Even if the red luan star hasn't moved." Ning Yan humbly asked, "Then is there any change in the celestial phenomena recently?"

"Speaking of this, I watched the stars the day before yesterday, and saw that the two stars of Xudan were dimming, which seemed to be an ominous omen. It's just that the star map was looming, and how it will develop afterwards is still uncertain, so I didn't report it." Jing Zhan said: "How does your majesty know? of."

"Just asking casually." Ning Yan said.

The two of them were chatting with each other, when Linglong suddenly walked in from outside, approached to salute, and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Zhaoyi is here."

Jing Zhan's hand stopped, and he frowned indistinctly.

Because of his temperament, Jing Zhan rarely really hates anyone, but Jiang Xuan obviously can be counted as one.

Maybe it's because Jing Zhan has a good relationship with Ning Huaijin, or maybe it's because Jiang Xuan is too utilitarian. In short, every time Jing Zhan sees her accidentally, he feels sick to his stomach.

But Jing Zhan understood that Ning Yan kept her because she was still useful, so he held his temper for the time being and didn't mention leaving.

Ning Yan took Xiao Diao out of his arms and stuffed it into Jing Zhan's hands, then slammed the chess pieces back into the chess basket, clapped his hands and said, "Let her in."

Linglong followed the voice to invite her, and after a while, Jiang Xuan, who was dressed in lake blue palace attire, came in from the door.She was alone, without a maid, and carrying a big food box in her hand, it was a bit difficult to walk.

"Why is Concubine Ai here?" Ning Yan asked.

Jing Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Yan's expression.

——Only someone like Jiang Xuan who doesn't know Ning Yan can regard perfunctory as casual. When Ning Yan speaks, he doesn't like to look at Jiang Xuan, but this Jiang Zhaoyi feels good, and "" Pretending to be shy" lowered his head and smiled.

Jing Zhan: "..."

Help, Master Guoshi thought.

"Your Majesty has guests here, and the concubines shouldn't bother you. It's just that the weather outside is getting hotter and hotter. I want to bring you a bowl of lotus leaf soup." Jiang Xuan said, handing the food box in his hand to He Wenting who was waiting at the side. Kneeling down and saluting, he said in a very sensible way: "There are foreign ministers here, and it is inconvenient for the ministers and concubines to stay longer, so I will leave after asking for peace."

"Yes." Ning Yanke nodded dispensably, and replied, "Go, I will see you later——Linglong, send Jiang Zhaoyi off."

Jiang Xuan kowtowed, didn't say much, stood up, and hurried away like when she came.

"...Fortunately, she walks fast." Jing Zhan let out a long sigh of relief: "My tooth hurts hearing her talk."

"If you are like this, what should you do when you marry a wife?" Ning Yan said as he wiped his hands with a cloth towel, and ordered He Wenting: "Bring it here."

He Wenting heard the words and put the food box brought by Jiang Xuan aside, lifted the lid, took out a small white porcelain bowl from inside, and presented it to Ning Yan on a tray.

Ning Yan took the bowl, casually stirred the transparent and shiny lotus seed soup inside with a spoon, and signaled He Wenting to come over and drop it where he liked.

"Wait a minute, don't worry about playing chess—" Jing Zhan stretched his hand over the chessboard, grabbed Ning Yan's hand, and asked him, "Do you really eat the food she sent?"

"Why don't you eat it?" Ning Yan blinked at him innocently, took a spoonful of lotus seed soup, tasted it, and said, "It's not bad, it's much better than last time."

"Last time?" Jing Zhan asked, "How many times have you eaten?"

"Empress Zhaoyi often brings food here." He Wenting interjected, "Your Majesty almost ate all of it."

Jing Zhan: "..."

He lost his temper by Ning Yan's upright attitude, took a deep breath, quickly went through the Qingjing Sutra in his heart, and then asked He Wenting "calmly", "Have you tested everything?"

"It's been tested." He Wenting said, "I've been tested with silver needles, and I haven't failed even once."

Jing Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around and say something to Ning Yan, when he saw that Ning Yan had almost finished the lotus leaf soup in the bowl.

Jing Zhan: "..."

"Stretch out your hand." Jing Zhan thought about it and was worried: "Her things can't be eaten for nothing."

"It's all been tested." Ning Yan said with a smile: "Let's not say that Ruan Yin won't poison me with a bowl of arsenic, just say that I want to lure snakes out of their holes, not feed tigers with my body. What are you afraid of?"

"Your Majesty." The National Teacher said calmly: "How long do you plan to play this love scene with your concubine? Ruan Yin is suspicious, and she may not believe what you really think about Jiang Xuan, saying Maybe I'm watching the jokes of you two from behind now, just waiting to be a weasel."

"Hurry up—the current situation is just that everyone is testing each other, and no one believes anyone. But to Ruan Yin, it doesn't matter whether I believe Jiang Xuan or not, as long as her goal can be achieved." Ning Yan handed the empty bowl to To He Wenting, he smiled, and for the first time, he didn't make any jokes, but continued: "But you are right, there is indeed not much time left, and I can't wait."

"What time?" Jing Zhan asked.

"I set a deadline for myself," Ning Yan said.
