——Yongfu Palace——
Ning Hongzhe and Ning Hongqian followed the third brother when he went to court. They arrived at the gate of the palace. Ning Honghui did not have the heart to drive them home. He sent someone to Yongfu Palace to tell Concubine Ning that she was from her natal family. Cousin comes to visit.
After receiving the errand, the father-in-law hurried to Yongfu Palace, because both the master of Yongfu Palace and Ning San are the closest people to the emperor. One is the emperor's beloved concubine, and the other has been with the emperor since he was a child. Big, no one can be offended, no one can be offended.
Ning Honghui was about to rush to the morning court and tell his two younger brothers to wait here honestly. After a while, the empress would send someone to pick them up.
The two people who were unexpectedly not driven back by the third brother nodded honestly. They did not ask the third brother to take them in, because if the third brother took them in, they might not be able to see their cousin (cousin) today, and they would not be able to see their cousin ( Cousin) Then we can’t do what the second brother asked us to do.
The father-in-law, who was leading Mr. Ning on errands, trotted to Yongfu Palace. When Fuling heard that it was the empress's maternal grandfather's family, she immediately led them into the outer palace.
Hearing that the two young masters of the Ning family were visiting, Ningxi hesitated for a moment. He had just returned from the Ning Mansion last night. What did they want to do? However, he still asked Poria to follow the father-in-law to the palace gate to pick up the people, presumably the two of them had something going on.
Looking at the sweat on their foreheads, what kind of weather could they be sweating like this? Ningxi first asked someone to fetch water and help the two of them freshen up before giving them tea. They must be very thirsty after traveling for so long.
"You two came here secretly without telling your family?"
As expected, Ning Hongzhe, who had drunk three glasses of water, regained his composure and said, "We followed the third brother here secretly. The third brother rode a horse while we ran behind him." At such a young age, he was definitely not as good as the fourth brother. physical strength.
When Ningxi heard this, he was extremely ashamed and couldn't bear to attack them. Why bother, little brother? Just let your fourth brother run by himself. How beautiful it is for you to rest at home.
"You guys have gone to great lengths to come to my place this early in the morning, but what's the important thing?" Although there were differences between men and women last night, they were still there when they first arrived at Ning's house. Ningxi really couldn't think of Shang. What can happen to two people studying?
Ning Hongqian, who had good self-control and physical strength, felt relieved at this time and handed the letter to Ningxi from his arms. Ningxi took it and saw the signature on it, "Is this the letter that my second cousin asked you to give me?"
My cousin is really becoming more and more strict. This is because he is afraid that the emperor will become jealous for no reason again. She wrote a letter specially last time, but unfortunately the content was read by the emperor. The arrogant guy didn't look good to her for several days. She informed her second cousin about the matter. After a long time, Ning Ning Xi thought that her second cousin was busy with business and forgot to write a letter, but it turned out that the letter was sent through someone else's hands.
Ningxi opened the letter and wrote that her cousin's business has gradually got on the right track, and Tianyuanju has begun to make profits day by day. Although the capital has not been earned back, it has slowly improved, allowing Ningxi to feel at ease in the palace. No need to worry about his business, which will probably be even more prosperous in the future.
Today's morning court ended with Wan Dequan's "If you have something to do, please leave the court if there is nothing to do".
"Ai Qing, is there anything else?"
Xiao Chengyan sat on the high seat and looked at Ning Honghui who was uncharacteristically puzzled. When he retreated from the court, it would be better for this kid to leave first. Today, the sun rises from the west, and he is here to serve as a wooden stake.
"Replying to the emperor, I brought my two younger brothers to court today!"
Xiao Chengyan was a little confused, what kind of medicine was this guy selling in his gourd? No, what kind of medicine was sold by their Ning family?
"You said they went to the imperial concubine's place." Xiao Chengyan thought, no wonder this guy didn't leave, maybe because he wanted me to take him to the imperial concubine's place to collect his brothers.
Those two people came to see them without any communication. They must have nothing to do except Ning Hongzhen, who was far away in Yangzhou, and they were just running errands for others. Fortunately, he thought that Mr. Ning was a wise man. Now it seems that he has just changed his strategy. Instead of delivering the letter directly to the palace, he has two loyal messengers.
Fortunately, I personally chose Ning San to be my companion.
Xiao Chengyan and Ning Honghui were walking to Yongfu Palace. They looked at each other silently along the way. When they were about to arrive at Yongfu Palace, Xiao Chengyan suddenly asked, "Has Mr. Ning ever said anything about letting Fourth Young Master Ning enter an official career?"
In addition to the prince accompanying him, the Ning family will definitely have someone to take the imperial examination and become an official. Among the younger generation, the eldest son and the second son, one is traveling far away from home, and the other is a businessman, so the only choice for the imperial examination must be between the fourth and fifth sons. .
"Grandfather likes Zhe'er." Not only Mr. Ning likes him, but the whole Ning family has unanimously decided to let Zhe'er study well. As for the fourth brother, let him grow up. They are all fifteen years old, and they can't do anything anymore. Long and crooked.
Compared to his elder brother, that little guy was indeed smarter. Xiao Chengyan nodded.
In fact, everyone in the family felt that Ning Hongqian did not look like a child of the Ning family. If he and his cousin were not separated by a few days, and he had hugged his newborn fourth brother when he was a child, he would have thought that his cousin and fourth brother had been swapped by someone. , otherwise this fourth brother would be exactly the same as his uncle in terms of temperament and preferences. Perhaps because of the similar temperament, my uncle actually doted on this fourth brother among the younger generations. Even the sword given by the emperor could be played with by the fourth brother.
It has been March since then, and the weather has begun to warm up. Spring is coming, and everything is recovering. This is not a good time, but this season is the time when the heart of spring is most budding.
Forsythia took advantage of these days when she was not busy and kept going to Yuzhu's side, pestering her to make her medicine. Yuzhu was also entangled and had no choice but to hide. Wherever she could hide, Forsythia didn't take any time to find the person.
What Forsythia wanted to do about taking the charm medicine was to find an opportunity to leave the palace. After all, no brave slave would dare to openly drug her master. If the master knew, it would cost her a lot. In the blink of an eye, she did this. It's not just for everyone to have a little master, so no one who can pull him off should be let go.
In order to increase the chance of winning the medicine, Forsythia also specially made up a tragic love story in which a little palace maid fell in love with a little guard.
Not to mention that Yuzhu really believed it. In order to satisfy her good sister's concerns, she specially gave her the medicine she asked for. She also told her that it could be taken some time in advance. After all, the medicine needed some time to buffer. Yuzhu was afraid that she would be harmed. The potency of the medicine is deliberately reduced, so that if you drink it earlier, people will wake up when things are almost done.
The next day after getting the medicine, Forsythia couldn't hold it in any longer. Taking advantage of such a beautiful night, she waited for her master to finish bathing and served him a cup of milk as a bedtime drink every night. Watching his master drink it all, Forsythia After all the night watchers in the outer hall were sent away, Yuying Yutao, who was already drowsy, was very grateful to return to her own residence and fell asleep.
After watching the people leave, Forsythia went into the inner hall to take a look at her master. Seeing that the medicine had not yet begun to take effect, she walked out of Qingxin Hall panting.
Forsythia was also very courageous and pretended to pass on her master's oral instructions. Wan Dequan did not doubt that he was there. Even though the emperor was ready to rest, he went directly into the palace to report to the emperor. What did the emperor do when the imperial concubine fell ill the first two times? He, a slave, still wants to live for two more years.
When Xiao Chengyan heard that the imperial concubine was ill, he hurriedly pulled his coat aside, got up and hurried to Yongfu Palace.
As a result, when people arrived in a hurry, they found that there was no one waiting inside or outside this huge palace. They were just a bunch of people who didn't know how to live or die. Even if the master was sick and was lazy, no one was around to wait on him.
"Come here, come here!" There was no answer after several calls, but it was not that no one answered. She was the only one awake in Yongfu Palace today. However, now Forsythia and Eunuch Wan were guarding the gate of the palace, so In a short time, an ally was recovered.
Xiao Chengyan looked at the red little face and quickly moved forward to hug the person in his arms. This hug scared him so much that he almost let go. The fever was so severe that his whole body was hot, and even his breath was gone. Hot people feel uncomfortable.
"I'm hot~" She muttered, and kept pulling on her clothes with her little hands. Seeing that the clothes were about to be torn off to expose the important parts inside, Xiao Chengyan pulled the quilt with her big hands and covered her whole body.
This naked temptation is simply killing me.
This was probably a sign of being addicted to the charm drug. Xiao Chengyan frowned. Thinking of his guess, his head pounded, as if he lost consciousness. He was being a gentleman while holding the beauty in his arms. Wouldn't he be letting down the beauty in his arms? .
Gently lifting the quilt, a fatal scene came into view. Xiao Chengyan's self-control endurance instantly vanished. The imperial concubine's body was simply a fatal temptation. She lowered her head and kissed her. The person beneath her seemed to sense it. What scares me the most is how cooperative she is.
Ning Xi, who had been drugged, felt something cold on her body, which made her feel particularly comfortable, and she instinctively moved herself up. Who would have thought that he would actually become such a proactive person in the eyes of others, a god damn initiative.
After the two were honest with each other, Ningxi couldn't help but groaned and started to cry. It really hurt. Why did it still hurt when sleeping? Ningxi wanted to scold her, but her mouth was still blocked. I felt depressed for a while. When my mouth was free, I bit down on one spot. After biting, I felt it was too gritty. I pouted my mouth and furrowed my brows, which made me feel aggrieved.
Until I heard a familiar voice in my ears, the voice was urgent and slightly hoarse, "Jiaojiao, be good, my brother loves you!"
Ning Xi's body trembled, her eyes regained clarity, and she seemed a little unbelievable. Seeing that the person pressing on her finally knew where the pain in her sleep came from.
"Xiao Chengyan~" Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard him say, "It'll be fine in a moment!"
A man’s mouth is so deceptive, it’ll be over in a while, just believe it for a while! In short, Xiao Chengyan was so happy in the end that Ningxi was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep and lost consciousness.
