The night is quiet.
Lin Xixue suddenly opened her eyes.
A female voice that sounded like weeping, complaining, and resentful came into her ears.
Lin Xixue listened quietly for a moment, and suddenly realized that the sound came from next door, and that it was performing the courtesy of Duke Zhou.
Although she, Lin Xixue, was old, she had never experienced anything between a man and a woman, so when she heard such a shy voice, she immediately lost all sleepiness and quickly covered her head with the quilt.
"This brat is much more scoundrel than his father."
"Besides, the mourning has not yet passed, so how can you act like this?"
"And this girl, can't you keep your voice down?"
"She...is she in pain or joy?"
“…”
Although Lin Xixue was covered with a quilt, her voice was like a magic sound, entering her ears and lingering.
And, she was also curious.
The voice next door sounded a little painful, but seemed happy.
Pain is pain, happiness is happiness, how can it be both painful and happy at the same time?
Is she in pain or happy?
Lin Xixue was curious and her little head hidden under the quilt was exposed.
In the darkness, her beautiful eyes flickered.
Not to mention sleepy, even drunkenness is gone.
even,
She moved her body and turned her ear to the next door.
Lin Xixue eavesdropping pictures
After eavesdropping for a moment, Lin Xixue's cheeks turned red and she couldn't help but spat:
Lin Xixue, Lin Xixue, you are so shameless, eavesdropping on this junior's corner.
Then, he lay down again, closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep.
But her rapid breathing represented the throbbing in her heart.
I'm afraid that even if the next door calms down, her heart will not be easy to calm down.
This night, she was destined to have insomnia.
…
"My lord, I did not serve you well."
Su Xiaoxiao looked guilty.
Ling Ning stroked Su Xiaoxiao's jade legs and couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "The days are long, don't rush for the first time, you have to take good care of yourself."
Su Xiaoxiao's pretty face turned red and she nodded seriously. Then she whispered in Ling Ning's ear: "Your Majesty, how about I use other methods..."
Hearing Su Xiaoxiao's suggestion, Ling Ning raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where did you get this knowledge?"
"When I came to Yanzhou, my mother left a picture album in my box. I didn't dare to look at it. The prince asked me to serve, so I took a few peeks." Su Xiaoxiao replied.
Ling Ning nodded and said, "Then let me see if you are serious about learning knowledge and whether you need to consolidate it."
Su Xiaoxiao immediately got into the quilt.
Ouch!
It's really jerky.
Ling Ning took a breath and put her hands on the back of her head.
But slowly, Su Xiaoxiao improved in operation, and the speed of improvement was very fast. She was a self-taught person and very talented.
Ling Ning felt more and more comfortable, and then opened the system:
[Congratulations to the host, you have gained a family member. 】
[Concubine 5: Su Xiaoxiao]
[Age: 18 years old]
[Loyalty: 75 (Admiration)]
【Concubine’s pregnancy not detected! 】
[Please get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to children, and the system will reward you with unexpected treasure chests. 】
【…】
So far, Ling Ning has five concubines.
Ye Youran, Zhou Xuerou, Du Twelve, Shen Yueru, and Su Xiaoxiao, but they have not yet given birth to any heirs.
It's not that Ling Ning can't do it, it's that he was in a hurry during this period. He took a shot here and then hurried to other places.
A shot in the east, a shot in the west, how can it be so easy to get pregnant.
But it's fine now. Ling Ning is sitting in Yanzhou City and working hard every night. Is he still afraid that he won't be able to spread his branches?
After burning the incense, Ling Ning was excited,
He instantly entered the state of a saint, neither happy with things nor sad with himself, so he began to figure out how to accomplish the great cause of rebelling against Liang.
…
The sun breaks.
Ling Ning got up refreshed and practiced the Ling family's marksmanship in the yard. When she went to have breakfast, she happened to meet Lin Xixue who was also coming out.
"Aunt Xue." Ling Ning smiled.
Lin Xixue's eyes subconsciously avoided her. The sound last night made her toss and turn all night long. Now that she had seen the performer, she was naturally shy.
"Um."
But Lin Xixue still responded with a slight hum.
Ling Ning noticed that Lin Xixue was a little tired and asked, "Aunt Xue, did you recognize the bed? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Yes, I'm a bit familiar with the bed." After Lin Xixue said this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ling Ning. It can't be said that it was you who kept her awake.
Ling Ning didn't know the reason and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask the doctor to prescribe you some medicine to help you sleep?"
"It's okay. I'll take a break at noon and I'll be fine." Lin Xixue replied.
Ling Ning nodded, not forcing anything.
Then the two of them went to have breakfast together.
After dinner, Ling Ning walked out of the palace. At the same time, something happened and he said to Mr. Sun: "Bring Duan Feng and leave it to Lin Xixue."
"Young man understands." Mr. Sun responded immediately.
When Lin Xixue saw Duan Feng, she naturally knew that her "conspiracy" had been exposed. The next step was to see how this woman would confess.
Ling Ning gave her father face and called her Aunt Xue. If she didn't know what to do, don't blame Ling Ning for being rude.
…
Soon, Lin Xixue saw Duan Feng, who was tied up with five flowers.
"To report to the eldest princess, this thief often peeks outside the palace and slanders the thief by saying that he knows the eldest princess. The prince asked the villain to bring this thief here and ask the eldest princess to punish him." Mr. Sun explained.
Duan Feng hurriedly begged for mercy: "Princess, please save the villain..."
Lin Xixue understood that this was Ling Ning's beating, so she said, "I will explain this to Ling Ning. By the way, there is also Yang Huanhuan."
Mr. Sun replied: "The eldest princess doesn't know something. Yang Huanhuan has been executed for assassinating the prince."
"What? Yang Huanhuan assassinated Ling Ning? This is not my intention, absolutely not my intention. I never thought of harming Ling Ning. Where is Ling Ning? I will explain to him." Lin Xixue said urgently.
Mr. Sun said: "The prince has left the palace and will be back later."
"Okay! If he comes back, notify me as soon as possible." Lin Xixue said, "As for Duan Feng, I will also explain it to him."
…
Ling Ning, dressed in casual clothes, walked on the streets of Yanzhou City.
Ling Ning went out this time not for shopping, but to see if the people's lives were affected.
If even the capital city of a state is affected, then the county towns below will be even more serious.
The streets are bustling with people, but if you look closely, you will find that this excitement is a bit impatient.
Especially when we came to a street selling oil, grain, salt and other supplies, the excitement turned into noisy.
In front of me, there were many people gathered in front of a grain store, making a lot of noise.
Ling Ning came closer and stood on the periphery to listen:
"Yesterday, a bucket of rice cost 60 Wen. Why has it increased to 80 Wen now? It has increased by 20 Wen!"
"Yeah, it's rising too fast!"
"Is there any justice?"
"The county prince's office has posted a notice prohibiting the random increase in food prices and unified management. You are committing crimes against the odds! Insatiable greed, insatiable greed!"
"That's right, why don't you let us live?"
“…”
Under normal circumstances, a bucket of rice in Yanzhou City costs 50 Wen.
It is a few cents more expensive than other places because of transportation.
As Ling Ning rebelled, the price of a bucket of rice continued to rise, reaching 60 wen.
Who knows,
After Ling Ning issued an order to regulate grain prices, these grain stores have united to increase prices, directly to 80 Wen.
Not only the price of food, but also the price of salt and oil were increased, as if to defy Ling Ning's order.
