After getting two pillows and putting them behind her, Yang Ning leaned against the wall, while Concubine Li snuggled into Yang Ning's arms.

"Empress, are you feeling better from your illness?" Yang Ning asked, stroking Concubine Li's beautiful hair.

"It's much better. Dr. Wen gave me many prescriptions for warming and recuperating. The most important thing is that girl Ling'er. I asked her to imitate you in massaging me, but she was so tired that she was sweating profusely every time." The pretty face rubbed Yang Ning's chest.

"Oh, what can I do? You are the empress, but she is just a maid serving others,"

Concubine Li suddenly raised her face and said, "Why, I feel sorry for your little lover. You don't even ask how I treat Ling'er on weekdays. In this Fengyi Palace, besides me, she is the only one." , even Qiu Deyong didn’t dare to show any face to her. The emperor had been thinking about her for a long time, but I blocked them all. Who are they doing this for? You have no conscience, but now you still Blame me,”

Yang Ning hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't blame you. I was just talking casually. By the way, you just said that the emperor, he, often comes to Fengyi Palace..."

Concubine Li gave Yang Ning a funny look and said, "Do you want to ask him if he often comes to Fengyi Palace to stay overnight?"

Yang Ning chuckled, but didn't answer.

Concubine Li naturally understood that Yang Ning wanted to ask this, and said with a cold look on her pretty face: "Humph, he wanted to, but I didn't let him. Not only me, but Concubine Shu's coquettish fox also didn't let him stay overnight. How can you Know why,"

Yang Ning's heart moved: "Why?"

Concubine Li suddenly lowered her voice and said hesitantly: "Because..., he, he got that disease. Others said he contracted it from the curtain alley. Now his hands are full of sores. As soon as they are broken, they will... Wherever it flows, it is born again."

Sure enough, Long Qing went to the brothel to mess around and finally contracted the "flower and willow disease". Yang Ning couldn't help but secretly felt that Long Qing was really confused. He didn't care about so many charming and charming people in the harem, but he went to the brothel. Looking for that dirty **, I ended up contracting this disease. This disease would have been easy to cure in the 21st century, but in this era, it is difficult to cure.

Concubine Li said with pain and sorrow on her face: "He is the majestic king of a country, and he is my husband, how could he be like this?" Then her tone turned to resentment and said: "It's all Meng Thanks to that eunuch's instigation, when Jun'er succeeds to the throne in the future, I will definitely cut him into pieces,"

These words shocked Yang Ning: Although Concubine Li is currently nestling in her arms and being affectionate with her, she will be the Queen Mother in the future. Longqing's life will not be too long. At that time, the person who succeeded to the throne was Wanli, and Wanli was too young, so Concubine Li would have to "listen to politics behind the curtain" for no reason. By then, the world would be big, but Concubine Li would be the only one honored.

"My dear, the main cause of this incident is not Meng Tong. If the emperor is a capable monarch like Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, how can a mere eunuch be able to instigate this?"

Concubine Li looked gloomy again and said: "Yes, after marrying him, I gradually realized that he was weak, incompetent, and also debauched. If it weren't for the fact that in recent years, there were Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, and Qi Jiguang in the Chinese dynasty, , Yu Dayou and other virtuous ministers will protect him. I don’t know what the Zhu family has become. For so many years, I have been a noble concubine in this deep palace. Others see infinite scenery, but how do they know that I am The depression and loneliness in my heart, but fortunately I had Jun'er a long time ago, so that I don't live too despairingly, and now... I have you again." Having said this, Concubine Li looked at Yang Ning tenderly.

Yang Ning smiled slightly and sighed sincerely: "I, Yang Ning, am truly lucky to have the empress favor me so much."

Concubine Li became even more tender and said: "Yang Ning, now that he has done such a scandal, I have completely despaired of him. From now on, there are only four people I care about in this world, and Jun'er and you are two of them. "

Yang Ning couldn't help but ask: "Who are the other two?"

Concubine Li smiled playfully, as if "I knew you would ask that", she glanced at Yang Ning and said, "Where are the other two, hehe, of course they are my father and brother,"

Yang Ning couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw Li Guifei's funny look on her face, her face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and she opened her mouth and said: "Okay, how dare you tease me, let's see how I punish you." After that, Yang Ning said again He moved his mouth and kissed Concubine Li's smooth and fragrant face.

However, Concubine Li's pretty face came up and she took the initiative to let Yang Ning kiss her. Yang Ning kissed Concubine Li's face for a few times. When she saw the jade pendant dangling from Concubine Li's ear, her heart warmed and she immediately moved away. Having reached the target, he took Concubine Li's round and delicate earlobe in his mouth.

"Ah," Concubine Li couldn't help but moan out as her ears are a sensitive part of a woman's body.

Yang Ning and Li Guifei spent a long time rubbing each other's ears before letting her go. Li Guifei suddenly turned around, climbed onto Yang Ning, raised her jade hand and touched Yang Ning's lips, and then touched Yang Ning's Adam's apple. Then she turned her face and rubbed her cheek against Yang Ning's lips a few times. Yang Ning was confused by her actions and couldn't help teasingly saying: "Why, haven't we been intimate enough? Let's do it again," she said , he lowered his head and looked for Concubine Li's gentle mouth.

"Stop making trouble, Yang Ning, let me talk to you about something serious," Concubine Li stopped Yang Ning and said solemnly.

Seeing Concubine Li's serious face, Yang Ning couldn't help but said: "What's wrong?"

"Yang Ning, haven't you noticed that you are starting to grow a beard," Concubine Li said seriously.

"Oh," Yang Ning was startled and hurriedly touched his lips, but felt nothing. However, when he stretched his lips and rubbed them hard with his fingers, he finally vaguely felt the somewhat stiff beard roots. He hurriedly touched his Adam's apple. , fortunately there is only a slight protrusion.

This problem is serious. It seems that I am about to start to "grow" in this life, and that means growing a beard, growing an Adam's apple, and getting a thicker voice. But eunuchs don't have these characteristics. Isn't this an obvious requirement? Is it revealing?

"It's broken, empress, what should I do?" Yang Ning ran out of ideas for a moment.

Concubine Li frowned and thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, this beard is easy to deal with. There is a kind of sticky paste in the palace, which is used by concubines and maids to remove some indecent body hair. Just apply this stuff and soak the beard roots. Once it's soft, you can uproot it and it will last for a while."

"What should I do if my Adam's apple protrudes and my voice becomes thicker in the future?"

"Don't worry about this for now. You only grew a beard at fourteen, so it's quite slow to grow. Judging from this, it will take some time for your Adam's apple to protrude and your voice to change... But, hehe, you are really weird, with such a development on your beard. Slow, but the growth below is...,"

Yang Ning couldn't help but laugh and said: "My aunt, how long has it been, and you still have the heart to joke?"

Concubine Li suddenly looked gloomy and said, "It won't be a long-term solution if this continues. The only way is for you to leave the palace."

Seeing Concubine Li's expression of despair and knowing that she was reluctant to leave him, Yang Ning said half-jokingly: "Otherwise, I will castrate myself secretly and stay here with you forever."

Concubine Li looked annoyed and said: "You are just saying stupid things. If that's true, who will I become? What will happen to Shui Ling? How can I feel at ease in this life..."

Seeing Concubine Li's annoyed look, Yang Ning hurriedly said: "Stop it, stop it, I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense,"

Concubine Li was silent for a while, then suddenly said firmly: "Yang Ning, maybe I can't do anything now, but when Jun'er inherits the throne, I will definitely let you get rid of the eunuch status smoothly and let you become a high official. That way, Even if you are no longer in this palace, I will have more opportunities to see you,"

Yang Ning couldn't help but be touched that Concubine Li was so attached to her, but it was not easy to do what Concubine Li said. At first, she wanted to gain a high enough status and power to get Shuiling out of the palace, but now her position is The higher you climb, the more attention you get. It's probably quite difficult to get rid of this "eunuch status" smoothly.

Yang Ning sighed inwardly, hugged Concubine Li and said, "Your Majesty, you are so affectionate to me. I really don't know how many virtues I, Yang Ning, have accumulated in my lifetime."

Concubine Li smiled sadly and said: "Maybe I owed you too much in my previous life, and God asked me to pay you back in this life, but it punished me like this, making me have to endure the pain of separation from you in the future, and I am destined to have no chance with you... …,”

"Forget it, empress, let's not talk about this. We will talk about the future in the future. Let's talk about other things, talk about something happy. Oh, by the way, let me tell you about my expedition to the west with the army to suppress the rebellion. "

"Well, okay," Concubine Li snuggled into Yang Ning's arms docilely, and twisted a few times to find a comfortable position.

…

Throughout the night, neither Yang Ning nor Li Guifei felt sleepy. On the contrary, the more they chatted, the more energetic they became. The more they chatted, the more caring they became. Until the sky became slightly brighter, Yang Ning quietly left Fengyi Palace with Li Guifei's reluctance.

When he returned to his room in Funing Palace, Yang Ning felt sleepy and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was almost noon. Yang Ning went out to the main hall of Funing Palace, but Princess Yongning was not there. Ying'er and Xiang Zhong were not there either. After asking the young eunuch, he found out that Princess Yongning and others had gone to Taiye Pond. Huadao went to play golf. Seeing that Yang Ning was still asleep, Princess Yongning did not let anyone disturb him.

I haven't been to Taiye Pond for a long time, so I just happened to go and have a look.

When Yang Ning arrived at Qionghua Island, she couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of her. She saw that Qionghua Island was full of palace maids and eunuchs, and the concubines with different charms and styles were waving clubs hard. , competing around each small ball, some cheering, some playing, and some even fighting over who can play better.

The popularity of golf is too fast. It has become so popular in the palace so quickly. What a pity for the great turf on Qionghua Island. Yang Ning sighed in his heart, but he also felt a sense of accomplishment. This was all his own. of credit.

"Yang Ning, you are here," Princess Yongning saw Yang Ning and walked over with a smile. Her face was rosy and she showed a sense of vitality. As she came over, Ying'er and Xiang Zhong also came over, and the concubines Noticing the movement here, they couldn't help but look at Yang Ning. Several concubines standing together pointed at Yang Ning.

Yang Ning turned a blind eye to them all and smiled and said to Princess Yongning: "Princess, it seems that your physical exercise is very effective."

"Yang Ning, it's great that you're here, let's go play yo-yo," Wanli emerged from nowhere, grabbed Yang Ning's sleeve and left.

"Hey, Prince, why are you here? Don't you have any homework today?" Yang Ning asked.

"Hey, there was Sister Wen's class, and I sneaked out," Wan Li told the truth.

When he heard that this kid had skipped Wen Ziyan's class, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She frowned and said, "Prince, you can't do this. Be careful that the imperial concubine knows about it."

Wanli said nonchalantly: "It's okay. My mother-in-law said she felt a little uncomfortable today and she still didn't get up from her bed."

Yang Ning thought: It seems that Concubine Li is catching up on her sleep. She didn't close her eyes last night. Can she not be sleepy today?

"Let's go, don't be stunned, you said last time that you would play with me at any time," Wan Li urged.

"Okay, let's go," Yang Ning agreed.

At this moment, a young eunuch rushed from a distance, came to Yang Ning and saluted: "Eunuch Yang, Eunuch Meng and Eunuch Feng invite you to go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, saying that we have something important to discuss."

"Okay, we can't play now," Yang Ning said helplessly, but in her heart she was thinking about what Meng Tong and Feng Bao were looking for. It seemed that it was probably about the surrender of Han Naji.

Wanli looked angry and said to the young eunuch: "If you don't want to go, you go back and tell Meng Tong and the 'eldest companion' that Eunuch Yang is not free and he is accompanying me."

Feng Bao had always had a good relationship with Wanli, and he often accompanied Wanli in his studies and homework, so Wanli called Feng Bao his "big companion."

"This...," the little eunuch looked embarrassed.

"Yi Jun, you are fooling around again. Eunuch Yang has serious business. Let him play with you another day," Princess Yongning said, and then winked at Yang Ning.

"Yes, Prince. Not long after I joined the ceremonial department, my two bosses came to see me at the same time. It would be bad if I didn't go. I have to play with you another day."

"Humph," Wanli kicked the turf under his feet with an unhappy look on his face, turned around and ran away.

Yang Ning greeted Princess Yongning and went straight to the Chief of Ceremonies with the young eunuch.

Entering the room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it was the same scene as yesterday, but this time Meng Tong did not use the matter of Yang Ning's failure to come to the Supervisor of Ceremonies on time to make trouble. He just made an ugly face and said nothing.

Yang Ning swaggered over and sat down, saying hello to Feng Bao, but he didn't even pay attention to Meng Tong. Meng Tong's face couldn't help but become even more ugly, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do to Yang Ning. The only thing he could rely on was Long Qing's favor, but now that Yang Ning had made great achievements in the Western Expedition, Long Qing had a very good impression of him, but Meng Tong could not slander him for a while.

"Eunuch Feng, please tell him what happened today," Meng Tong said with a strange air.

Feng Bao frowned and didn't respond, but he turned to Yang Ning and said: "Eunuch Yang, all the gentlemen are gathered together today because of yesterday's matter. That matter was due to the cabinet minister Zhang, the governor of Xuanda Wang Chonggu, and the governor of Shanxi. He strongly advocated accepting the surrender of Han Naji. The emperor finally agreed and decided to send Wang Chonggu back to Datong to take charge of the matter. Our Chief of Ceremonies will also send an important person to accompany him to handle the matter with Mr. Wang. Eunuch Meng 'considered' it again and again. , and recommended you, Eunuch Yang, to the emperor, and the emperor has already agreed,"

Yang Ning couldn't help but was stunned. Damn it, he asked Meng Tong to make another move. This matter is not that simple to deal with. It's just being called a "traitor" or "Qin Hui". What's more serious is that... If he doesn't handle it well and angers Anda Khan, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry will come and kill him, and he will become the sinner of the Ming Dynasty again.

Yang Ningpi said with a smile: "Eunuch Meng praised me so much, I'm really touched."

Meng Tong smiled sinisterly and said: "Yesterday, didn't Eunuch Yang strongly advocate the surrender of Han Naji? Our family saw that Eunuch Yang spoke so impassionedly and rationally, so naturally Eunuch Yang is the one to take such a good job."

Knowing clearly that what Meng Tong said was sarcastic, Yang Ning was naturally not to be outdone, nodded and smiled and said: "Very good, last time I was favored by Eunuch Meng and recommended me to serve as the supervisor of the Western Expedition, which made me, Yang Ning, reach the position I am today. This time I see Eunuch Meng is here to give me another big gift. I, Yang Ning Azhen, don’t know how to thank Eunuch Meng,”

These words touched Meng Tong's pain point again. Meng Tong snorted coldly, but said nothing.

After coming out of the Chief of Ceremonies, Feng Bao caught up with Yang Ning and said solemnly: "Xiao Ningzi, this matter is not simple. If you do it well, you won't get much credit, but if you don't do it well, you may have to lose your fortune and life. It’s not over yet, this piece of shit like Meng Tong failed in one plan, and now he’s doing it again, he’s so vicious,”

Yang Ning looked solemn and said: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your guidance. I know exactly when to leave."

"Tomorrow morning, I will accompany Wang Chonggu and Ma Gui who are returning to Shanxi,"

Damn, it's so fast. I've only been back for a few days and I'm letting myself go out again. It's a good opportunity to send someone to find Liu Biyao's whereabouts.

Yang Ning returned to Funing Palace first, and Princess Yongning had returned. As soon as Yang Ning told her that she was going to Shanxi, Princess Yongning became anxious and wanted to go to Long Qing no matter what. Yang Ning repeatedly persuaded her, saying that she would definitely go to Shanxi this time. It would not be as dangerous as last time, and words such as ensuring a safe return finally comforted Princess Yongning to calm down.

After leaving Funing Palace, Yang Ning couldn't help but sigh. She would leave early tomorrow morning. It seemed that it would be difficult to achieve good things with Concubine Li tonight. After thinking about it, Yang Ning walked towards Fengyi Palace.

Qiu Deyong was surprised by Yang Ning's arrival. Yang Ning couldn't help but secretly laugh: I have been to Fengyi Palace secretly several times, but you old guy doesn't know.

Qiu Deyong's attitude is no longer the same as before, and he has a fawning tone towards Yang Ning. Now Yang Ning's character and rank are much higher than him.

Qiu Deyong went in to report. Soon, Concubine Li announced that Yang Ning had gone in, while Qiu Deyong was kicked out. Only Shuiling was by Concubine Li's side.

At this time, Concubine Li had already made up for her sleep. She had also received the news. She was gnashing her teeth with hatred towards Meng Tong. Shui Ling also had a sad look on her face. Yang Ning spent a long time talking, and finally said to Concubine Li: "Your Majesty. But there is no need to be angry. We have no choice now, but when the time comes, we will make all the treacherous villains look good to them."

Thinking of what she had said to Yang Ning last night, Concubine Li naturally understood what Yang Ning meant by "the time is right", so she didn't say anything more. She just sighed and looked at Yang Ning with eyes full of worry and concern. Reluctant to give up, Shui Ling started to cry.
