After Xiao Yan left Beijing, time seemed to slow down extraordinarily, and Tang Ning always felt that even the house had become quieter.
It was clear that when Xiao Yanren was in the capital, they did not see each other every day, but after he left, she always felt that she was not used to everything. It was not until Cang Lang came to her door with matters concerning the Privy Council that she suppressed her discomfort.
Matters in the Privy Council were far more complicated than matters in the Academy. Although Xiao Yan had made arrangements before leaving Beijing and asked Cang Lang and others to deal with it temporarily, when Tang Ning actually contacted her, she realized that it was not as simple as she thought. .
I originally thought that they were just on errands for the emperor, but later I discovered that the Privy Council not only had to accept memorials from courtiers and the four parties, and promulgate the emperor's decrees, but also had to take care of confidential affairs of patrol in the capital, and write documents for the emperor. Most of the memorials in the court were not To go directly to the Holy Palace, you have to go through the Privy Council and then go to Zhongshu.
Moreover, Emperor An had a suspicious temperament, a temper that was unstable, and often acted "as he pleased." In addition, the people in the court had different thoughts, and the Privy Council had to perform the duties of "supervision" and "purge". There was almost no idle person in the entire court. , even though Canglang and the others had already dealt with most of the things, Tangning was still so busy that it was a bit dark.
Fortunately, when Xiao Yan was in Beijing, he never avoided Tang Ning when dealing with those matters. She would sometimes help, and Xiao Yan also gave her some pointers, so Tang Ning didn't have no idea where to start.
"Girl, please drink some water..."
After Hua Wu saw Tang Ning closing the selected folds, he hurriedly came forward with tea.
Tang Ning took a sip to suppress the dryness in her throat. After putting down the tea cup, she gently rubbed her brows: "What kind of tea is this? Why is it so bitter?"
"The girl has been a little angry in the past two days, and her eyes are a little red. I added a little lotus heart in it, which can improve eyesight and reduce the fire." Hua Wu took the tea cup and put it aside, and glanced at the things on the table: " Lord Governor, why do they have so many things to do? The girl has been busy all day."
Tang Ning glanced at the things in front of her and sighed: "Yes, there are so many things..."
After Canglang and the others had already dealt with most of these things, the remaining brother had to "look over" them personally. I heard Canglang said that when he was in Beijing, he had more things to do.
Not only did he have to take care of many things in the Privy Council, but he also had to accompany her to the palace every day, deal with the swords and swords in the court, and scheming with the clan and courtiers. He even had time to care about her.
But at that time, Brother A was so skillful and confident in everything he did that Tang Ning could hardly imagine what would happen if it were her.
Tang Ning sat up straight and said to Yue Jian on the other side: "Pack these up and send them to Hexi Hall. Give the few Nandi border guards who were placed alone to Canglang and let him Send it to the disciples as soon as possible, and after they have finished handling it, submit it to His Majesty for approval, and then issue six more copies."
Tsukimi nodded and lowered his head to clear the table.
"Girl, Mrs. Ru and Miss Qian are here."
"Tang Ning!"
As soon as Xichun's voice fell, Qian Qiyue's clear and refreshing voice came from outside.
Yue Jian moved faster, tidying up the table with both hands and feet, and moved all the folders into the inner room. After Hua Wu also put all the pen and ink neatly, Tang Ning stood up and walked out of the curtain to greet him. Qian Qiyue walked in wearing a gorgeous red dress.
Behind her was Xue Ru, who was wearing a goose-yellow skirt. When she saw Tang Ning, she showed her dimples first and said, "Sister."
"I've met Madam Qian, Madam Ru." Huawu and others saluted quickly.
Qian Qiyue waved a few people to get up, then quickly stepped forward and hugged Tang Ning: "Little Haitang, did you miss me?"
Tang Ning staggered, but his face was full of smile: "I was thinking about it, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm looking for you!"
Qian Qiyue's beautiful phoenix eyes raised, she pulled Tang Ning and said: "It's Chinese Valentine's Day today, don't tell me that you still want to stay in the house and read. The west of the city is very lively today. Aru and I will come to find you." Play."
Tang Ning was hugged by her waist and tilted her head back slightly. Only then did she realize that Qian Qiyue had makeup on her face. Even Xue Ru, who had always been plain and simple, had applied makeup and dotted her hair, and her buns were tied with beautiful hair. Belt and bell
She laughed a little: "I didn't ask someone to tell you not to go anymore the day before yesterday, so you went to play with Aru..."
"Why don't you go? This is such a great day. It only happens once a year. You can still participate in competitions. Moreover, there will be vaudeville and singing in the west of the city tonight, and there will be fireworks later. All the girls in the city are going to join in the fun. , are you growing mushrooms in your house?"
"I don't like the excitement..."
"That's weird, you used to like fun the most."
After Qian Qiyue blurted out, she saw Tang Ning turning to look at her, and she immediately realized that she had let something slip.
Xiao Haitang didn't remember those things in the past. Xiao Yan had specifically told her not to mention them for the time being, so as not to irritate her.
Qian Qiyue quickly changed the topic, pretending not to see the confusion in Tang Ning's eyes: "Anyway, I like the excitement, so just go with me."
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of prizes in the Qiqiao Festival competitions this year. Last year, I was so bad at chess that I didn't get anything. As a result, I was laughed at by a few annoying people for the whole year. This year, you and Aru have to help me win. return……"
Tang Ning turned around and wanted to speak.
Qian Qiyue was already holding her arm: "Okay Tang Ning, just go with me and play with me."
Tang Ning was gently shaken by her.
"Tang Ning, go ahead, go ahead, just stay with me~~"
"Is that good~~~"
Qian Qiyue acted coquettishly, holding her arms crookedly, making Tang Ning dumbfounded by her.
On the side, Xue Ru saw her sister wandering around with a look of helplessness on her face. She chuckled and said, "Sister, if everything is okay, come with us. If you really don't like the noise, let's find a quiet place then and watch. The fireworks will be back.”
"Yes, yes, Tang Ning, just go."
Qian Qiyue's whole body was almost hanging on Tang Ning, and she hugged her arms and twisted them into noodles.
Tang Ning was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to let go: "Okay, go ahead, let go first, your head will be dizzy."
"Really? Tang Ning is the best!"
Qian Qiyue let go and gave Tang Ning a bear hug, then pushed her towards the inner room:
"Quick, quick, go change clothes, Hua Wu, go get your girl's most beautiful dress, and give Tang Ning a beautiful bun."
"Do you need to be so solemn?"
"Of course we do!" Qian Qiyue glared: "Tonight the west of the city is full of beauties, we can't lose our momentum!"
Tang Ning was almost pushed forward. She turned around and saw Hua Wu looking at her, feeling helpless.
"Go ahead and listen to Miss Qian."
If she doesn't listen to Qian Qiyue, I'm afraid she won't be able to calm down.
Hua Wu suppressed a smile: "Yes, I will go right now."
