Chapter 47 The Sorrow of the Times

"Little eunuch, you are so brave. You dare to wantonly destroy the flowers in this royal garden. What crime should you be guilty of?" Although the child was squatting at this time and spoke in a childlike voice, he had a sense of superiority and heaven.

Huang Guizhou's demeanor and tone were old-fashioned, not like a young boy of seven or eight years old!

"Hehe! You are wrong. I am not doing any damage. I am seeing that the flowers and plants in the imperial garden are not being pruned. Please help me repair them!" Yang Ning replied with a smile, but in her heart she couldn't help but secretly complain: If it were really that person in front of her...

"Little Ancestor", I am in trouble! I have been working in the Royal Garden for so long, but I have never encountered this "little evil god", so why did I encounter it today!

"Hmph! Are you trying to deceive me because I am young? I have been staring at you for a long time. You hold the scissors and select the flowers with the largest blooms and the most beautiful flowers to cut. You are so good at trimming flowers and plants.

What?"

Calling himself "this palace", this child is indeed the Prince of the East Palace - the future Emperor Wanli! Yang Ning couldn't help but secretly complain. Of course he would not be stupid enough to visit the prince. He just pretended to be confused and didn't know Wanli, so he said nonsense:

"You don't know this. These are the largest and most beautiful flowers, which hinder the growth of flowers the most. I cut them off, but they promote the growth of more flowers!"

"Tsk! You are so bold, you little slave. You are still talking nonsense at this moment. You must not know how powerful I am. You..., wait a minute!" Xiao Wanli said, quickly using tissue paper.

After wiping my buttocks, I put on my pants and stood up.

When Yang Ning saw that something was not going well, he still asked himself to wait. He still didn't know how this "little devil" would deal with him. If he ordered him to be drowned like he killed the two eunuchs in the imperial garden, it would be really terrible.

He died unjustly!

Thinking of this, Yang Ning threw the scissors and said, "Oh, I remembered, I have something else to do. Bye bye!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Xiao Wanli was stunned for a moment, then became furious and chased after him, shouting: "You little slave, stop now, how dare you run in front of me!"

Where did Yang Ning dare to stop, he ran away quickly, taking advantage of the familiar terrain, choosing places with many rockeries, pines and cypresses, and strange rocks to drill, and then disappeared from Wanli's sight.

He vaguely heard a "plop", followed by Wanli's scream of "ouch", he probably fell down, but Yang Ning didn't dare to go back to see it at this time, so he passed through the Imperial Garden and returned to Funing Palace.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Zhong was leaving the palace and asked strangely when he saw the lingering fear on Yang Ning's face.

"Oh, no, it's okay!" Yang Ning didn't want Xiang Zhong to worry about herself, so she replied casually. At a glance, she saw Xiang Zhong holding a piece of paper in his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"

Xiang Zhong saw that Yang Ning didn't want to say more, so he stopped asking. After hearing Yang Ning ask himself, he handed the paper in his hand to Yang Ning and said: "Don't mention it, this is a piece of charcoal for the brazier that we need in Funing Palace."

I need to report to the "Xixin Department". Miss Ying'er was supposed to give it to you, but you were not here, so you handed it over to me. I was about to go out and send it to the "Xixin Department" in the outer palace.

Place!"

The Xixin Department is one of the twenty-four yamen of the Internal Prison, and is responsible for the use of firewood in various parts of the palace in winter. Coal was not widely popular in this era, and people used braziers to burn charcoal for heating, but this method was not

There are many disadvantages.

For example, ordinary people's homes burn ordinary and cheap "black charcoal". This kind of charcoal burns very smokey, and the brazier containing the charcoal is unobstructed, so the pollution is quite serious, and people are poisoned by the smoke.

Even the best "white charcoal" burned in the palace burns for a long time and is smokeless, but it is expensive and very susceptible to moisture. It crackles and splashes from time to time when burning.

Mars can easily hurt people.

"Getting charcoal for the brazier? So early?" Yang Ning took the paper and said in surprise. Although it is almost late autumn, the weather is not cold enough to light the brazier.

"I heard from Miss Ying'er that the princess has always been weak and afraid of the cold, so every year at this time, she will report the required brazier charcoal to the 'Xinxiang Secretary' first, so that it can be given priority to our Funing Palace in early winter to ward off the princess.

cold.

"Oh! That's it. Then go ahead and let the 'Cherishing Firepower Division' prepare the best brazier charcoal in advance and supply it to us when the time comes!" Yang Ning warned.

Mr. Xiang agreed and went out to the outer palace, while Yang Ning walked towards Princess Yongning's bedroom.

"Yang Ning, you're back, hey! Why did you only pick so many flowers this time?" Ying'er was cleaning the dragon-carved rosewood chair in the outer room of the palace. She was surprised to see the few flowers in Yang Ning's hand.

road.

Yang Ning gave a wry smile and was about to answer when she heard the soft voice of Princess Yongning in the inner room, "Who is outside?"

Ying'er said happily: "Princess is awake!" After saying that, she threw down the rag in her hand and went straight to the inner room.

Yang Ning couldn't follow her in, so she had to wait. After a while, she heard Ying'er say: "Manager Yang, the princess wants you to come in!" Yang Ning then stepped into the inner room.

Princess Yongning's bedroom is still quiet and quiet. A wisp of sandalwood is dyed in the incense burner, and the fragrance comes out.

Princess Yongning was leaning against the bed tent, wearing a moon-white cloud satin embroidered shawl. Perhaps because she had a good sleep, her complexion looked much better than yesterday, but her face looked sleepy. Looking at Yang Ning

In his eyes, he doesn't have any charm at all.

"Yang Ning, what were you two talking about outside just now? Hey, you picked some flowers again!" Princess Yongning said with a smile.

"Princess, I saw that the flowers that Mr. Yang sent yesterday were a little withered, and I wanted to ask him to pick some new ones today. Unexpectedly, he only picked a few flowers. I was just about to ask him what happened!"

Er explained first.

Yang Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "That's right, I met a person in the Imperial Garden. He might be the prince, he...!" Yang Ning briefly told what happened.

After hearing this, Ying'er looked at Yang Ning in shock and said, "You, you said it was——, the prince asked you to stop, but you ran away in a hurry?"

Yang Ning smiled dryly and said: "Hey, I didn't know he was the prince at the time, but I realize it now!"

Princess Yongning said with an angry and funny expression: "This Yijun is getting more and more naughty, how dare you do such a thing in the imperial garden... If the imperial concubine finds out, she will probably be punished again!

After saying that, he said softly to Yang Ning: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. You went to cut flowers for me. I'll take care of anything. Besides, this naughty little kid is still afraid of my sister."

Three points!"

Yang Ning frowned and said, "I heard that the two eunuchs in the imperial garden provoked him for some reason last time, and they were drowned alive by his order?"

Princess Yongning looked gloomy and said: "Yes! This Yijun was really naughty. Afterwards, the imperial concubine taught him a lesson. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't remember the lesson and was still so naughty!"

Be naughty! Teach me a lesson! It’s a very “severe” evaluation and a “severe” punishment!

Yang Ning twitched the corner of his mouth but didn't say anything, but his heart was full of sadness: In fact, he was essentially the same as the two little eunuchs, and his life was as cheap as an ant. Maybe if the "masters" were unhappy, he would have to go to jail.

Go and report to the Lord of Hell!
