"Okay then, you can continue chatting, I have to go to the new Yamen to take up my post," Yang Ning stood up and said goodbye.

"Yang Ning, this is the first step towards raising funds to relieve the victims. As for how to implement it later, do you know what to do next?" Concubine Li asked with concern.

Yang Ning smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty has thought so carefully for me and arranged so many people from the government to help me. If I can't do it well, you just have to wait and see."

Concubine Li glared at him charmingly and said: "For such a big thing, if I don't arrange more people for you, will you be able to handle it? Let's work on it first. If there is still a shortage of people, just tell me, I will do it myself." We will ask the emperor for orders from various yamen, and there will be officials who can be dispatched at any time. The emperor is busy refining elixirs and having fun, and he feels guilty for Sister Chen and I. He certainly has no objection when we bring up such a matter." Later, Li There was a hint of sarcasm and bitterness in the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth.

"Okay, I understand," Yang Ning agreed, said hello to Shuiling, and then left Fengyi Palace. As he walked, he thought about what Concubine Li said. This old man Longqing is now deaf to what is going on outside the window. , that’s fine, if Long Qing delegates power, Concubine Li will naturally come back to power. With her as her backer, the fundraising for disaster relief should be completed smoothly.

"Eunuch Yang, you look so hurried, where are you going?"

Yang Ning was walking with her head bent when a soft voice sounded. Yang Ning was startled and looked up, and it turned out to be Feng Bao.

At this time, Feng Bao was wearing a brocade python robe, holding Buddha dust in his hand, and was followed by a group of eunuchs. Judging from the direction they came from, it was obvious that they were going to Fengyi Palace.

There was nothing strange on Feng Bao's face, he just looked at Yang Ning with a smile on his face, but Yang Ning knew that he was just having a bad time.

Yang Ning bowed respectfully to Feng Bao and said, "I have met Eunuch Feng and I dare not hide anything from him. I have received an errand from the two empresses and am about to go to the newly established 'Donation and Disaster Relief Agency'. "

Although Yang Ning was very respectful to him, Feng Bao was unmoved and said with a faint smile: "Our family has also heard about this matter. Eunuch Yang is deeply favored by his masters. He has gained such great merit." It is a great charity for me to do this for the two ladies. Eunuch Yang has done another great service. When the time comes, a generous reward will be indispensable."

The weirdness in Feng Bao's words made Yang Ning annoyed. I respect you and offer you a favor, but you are really using yourself as a dish. I have no intention of competing with you for favor in front of Concubine Li. If I give up my mind, I will take it. If I lose you, it's obvious who Concubine Li will help.

Although he had some complaints in his heart, Yang Ning did not want to fall out with Feng Bao. His biggest enemy now was Meng Tong. Feng Bao was in charge of the East Factory and had deep influence in the internal prison. Concubine Li regarded him as her right-hand man. Even Zhang Juzheng , many places also need to rely on him.

"My father-in-law's words made me frightened. I'm here today because of my father-in-law's cultivation and support. I'm still saying the same thing. From now on, only my father-in-law will follow his lead. If my father-in-law has anything to do, just give him his orders." Yang Ning said in a sincere tone.

The words he spoke gave Feng Bao enough face. Even the eunuchs behind Feng Bao showed a bit of joy on their faces. You must know that Yang Ning is now in the prime of his life in the inner prison, supervising the army to suppress the rebellion and negotiating peace on the grassland. After accomplishing a big thing, his status soared like a rocket. The emperor appreciated him greatly, and the imperial concubine was extremely favored. Needless to say, Princess Yongning, such a popular figure, is still the "boss" to herself and others. "Being respectful and respectful, they are certainly honored.

Feng Bao did not speak immediately, but just looked at Yang Ning with a smile for a long time, and then said after a long time: "Our family is really touched that Eunuch Yang has such thoughts. No matter what, you and I are still on the same line. Let’s support each other more in the future. I know you have a lot of things going on right now, so I won’t bother you too much. See you later.”

"My congratulations to Eunuch Feng," Yang Ning leaned forward and said.

As soon as Feng Bao became a Buddhist, he led a group of eunuchs to Fengyi Palace. Looking at the backs of these people, Yang Ning understood in his heart that there was a rift between himself and Feng Bao. Even though Feng Bao said those few words in the end, It's just that considering his popularity and the strength of his opponent Meng Tong, he has already begun to guard against himself. However, there is nothing he can do about it. He jumped up too fast and did not show any affection to Feng Bao. Since he obeyed sincerely enough, especially with Concubine Li's favor towards him, it's no wonder that Feng Bao couldn't afford to be jealous.

Think about it, from the time he beat Jia Shiren, to the time when he was the manager of Funing Palace, and even to the time when he supervised the army to suppress the rebellion in Ningxia, Feng Bao had always trained him as his person, but ever since he received Concubine Li's "favor" , and after the grassland peace talks, he was rewarded several times, and his status became higher and higher, almost threatening Feng Bao's status, which also gave Feng Bao a sense of crisis that he was no longer under his control.

It cannot be said that it is Feng Bao's fault that the two of them have reached this stage, but it cannot be said that it is his own fault. Since they have fallen into this whirlpool of intrigues and power struggles, such things are naturally unavoidable. Anyway, with the help of Li Guifei Because of the relationship, I am not afraid of Feng Bao at all, so I will just do it like this for the time being. I still say that if I can't offend myself, I won't do anything. If I do, I will have to "work hard".

"Yang Ning...,"

Yang Ning turned around and was about to leave when another voice came from next to Leng Buding, which startled him. He looked around and saw the Crown Prince Wanli huddled at the corner of the palace wall not far away, peering around.

Seeing his evasive appearance, Yang Ning couldn't help but asked curiously: "Prince, why are you hiding there? Who are you hiding from?"

Wan Li slowly walked out from the corner, looked in the direction where Feng Bao and others were leaving and said, "No, I'm not hiding from anyone. Is that...'Big Companion' gone?"

"'Big Companion', oh, you said it was Eunuch Feng. He left and went to your mother and concubine. Look, you are afraid of being like that. As for that," Yang Ning knew that Wanli and Feng Bao had a close relationship, and they even kept talking to her intimately. He called him his "big companion", but he was a little surprised that Wanli was so afraid of Feng Bao.

Wanli said with a bitter expression: "You don't know, in this palace, besides my mother and concubine, the one I fear most is my eldest companion. My mother asked him to watch over my studies. She is very strict. If anything goes wrong, he will do it right." He scolded me with a straight face and even reported everything to my mother and concubine. How can I not be afraid of him? I just sneaked out to play and I can’t be discovered by him."

Seeing the secretly amused look on Wanli's face, Yang Ning couldn't help but sigh. Now in his childhood, Wanli had the innocence and cuteness that ordinary children have, but when he grows up, he must be under the power of God. It is estimated that people "accompany an emperor like a tiger". It is definitely not a wise move for Feng Bao to be so harsh on the future emperor.

"Prince, then you can continue to play secretly. I have something to do, so I have to leave first." Yang Ning was afraid that Wanli would pester him to play again, so he said it first and left before finishing.

Unexpectedly, Wanli heard this and said hurriedly: "Don't leave in a hurry. I'm not looking for you this time just for fun. I know that you have recently had a fun job. You want to raise money to help the beggars in the capital. Also, Some kind of 'donation and relief agency' has been set up. I also want to see it, so you can take me there."

Yang Ning immediately shook his head after hearing this and said: "Prince, this is not okay. It's not that I won't take you there, but if the imperial concubine, Mr. Zhang Ge, Medical Officer Wen, and your 'eldest companion' find out, they won't be able to do it again." I think it was me who instigated you to not think about your studies and only care about having fun. When so many people blame me, I won’t be able to eat and just walk away. Besides, there is nothing fun about this job. You have to worry about it and have to run around. "I'm really suffering from the cold,"

Wanli's little face tightened and he said: "Yang Ning, it's useless for me to trust you so much and treat you so well. You are really not interesting at all. Now I am locked up in this deep palace by them every day and arranged to learn this and that. It's annoying. I’m so annoyed that I finally found out that you accepted such an errand, and I wanted to follow you to see things and broaden my horizons, but you didn’t even help me with this...,"

Seeing Wanli's really annoyed look, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel moved. It seemed that he really had to help with this favor. On the one hand, it was necessary to further establish a good relationship with the future emperor in front of him; moreover, although Wanli's original intention It's just for fun, but it's not a bad thing for me to take this opportunity to drag him to see the hardships and sufferings of the people. This will be very beneficial to his future governance as emperor.

Yang Ning looked embarrassed, and then said after a while: "Okay, I can take you there, but I have to report this to the imperial concubine. I will only take you with her permission."

When Wan Li heard that Yang Ning had agreed, he looked happy at first, but when he heard that Yang Ning was going to report the matter to Concubine Li, he couldn't help but look bitter and said: "It's unnecessary, I don't dare to say it, even if I say it, it won't be necessary." Bai said, my mother-in-law will definitely not agree,"

Yang Ning smiled and said: "Of course you don't need to tell me, I have a way to convince the imperial concubine..."

"Really, haha, great," Wanli was waiting for Yang Ning's words.

"Don't be too busy to be happy. I can take you to the special government office, and I can even take you out to work around the capital in the future, but there is one thing you have to promise me first..."

Wanli danced happily, and after hearing this, he immediately said: "You can say whatever conditions you want, as long as you can take me out of the palace to play, I will agree to any conditions."

Yang Ning smiled and said: "The conditions are very simple, that is, before you come to the Yamen to play every day, or follow me out of the palace to do business, you must complete the homework assigned by Mr. Zhang Ge and the Civil Medical Officer that day, and obtain their approval. Of course, if you can’t catch up on the homework that day, you can ask them to arrange it a day in advance. If you finish it quickly, you will have time to go out and play.”

As soon as Yang Ning said this condition, Wanli fell silent with a look of hesitation. It seemed that this condition was too difficult for him.

"Why, we can't do it, then let's stop wasting time and let's go," Yang Ning waved her hand and left.

"Hold on, I,,,I promise you that... I will never let you go and have fun until you finish your homework," Wanli gritted his teeth and said firmly.

"Okay," Yang Ning clapped her hands, "but it can't just be words, a gentleman's words..."
