Wangfu Street, Ningwangfu.

Feng Ziying followed the gravel road to the corridor of the Garden Pavilion, and walked along the corridor to the center of the pavilion. There was a stone table and four stone benches. The pavilion was surrounded by various flowers and fruit trees.

At the bottom is a small pond with crystal clear water.

Prince Ning Liu Xi, wearing a bright yellow brocade gown, stood at the pavilion, teasing the birds in the cage, with a look of ease on his face.

Feng Ziying came forward and said respectfully: "Meet His Highness Prince Ning."

Prince Ning looked back and said, "Oh... Ziying is here, sit down quickly."

Feng Ziying took the opportunity to sit on the stone chair. Seeing that the caged bird that Prince Ning was teasing did not seem to be a Beijing species, she asked: "Your Highness, what kind of bird is this?"

There are many people playing with birds in Beijing, most of them are thrushes and hibiscus, but I have never seen such birds.

Prince Ning smiled and replied: "These are embroidered eyes. Someone gave me a few of them before. I thought they were interesting, so I took them. I will give you one later so that you can have fun too."

Feng Ziying smiled awkwardly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I still don't have to use it. Raising birds is a waste of money. If I know about it, I will have to beat me."

Prince Ning laughed loudly when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Your father is a second-grade Shenwei general. He has made great achievements, so he still lacks this money?"

Feng Ziying heard this and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you don't know our sufferings. Although my father is a second-grade Shenwu general, he doesn't have much ability to make money. The family relies entirely on the farm for income, except for the food and favors of the whole family."

How many taels of silver can you still have in excess in a year from your dealings?

The first time I heard that Mrs. Yipinhou of the Baolinghou Mansion actually took her family members to work as female celebrities at home to reduce purchasing expenses, which made a lot of jokes.

The honorable family has reached such a state. Sigh..." As he spoke, his eyes looked at Prince Ning from time to time.

Ning Wang Li Xi put down the pole in his hand and said: "I can't blame the Tian family. Not to mention the ministers' homes, even the palace treasury, there is not much money. Last year, there was a drought in northern Xinjiang, and the imperial court did not exempt it from taxes. Is it because of the lack of money?

Silver? However, it is really not appropriate for the hero’s family to be in such embarrassment. After all, they are all after meritorious deeds.”

Feng Ziying replied in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please be more considerate."

Prince Ning responded softly and suddenly asked: "Ziying, you have always had a close relationship with the children in the capital, do you know about Jia Yun of Duke Ning's mansion?"

Feng Ziying was startled when she heard this. She never thought that King Ning was looking for him for this reason. When King Ning asked him, she answered honestly: "I have met Jia Yun from Duke Ning's mansion once."

"Oh.........Tell me about it." Prince Ning said in a deep voice.

Feng Ziying thought for a moment and commented: "This man was originally the eldest son of the concubine of the chief minister of Ningguo Palace. For some reason, he has now moved to the side branch. He is... uh... a libertine and a womanizer. He got angry when he heard that your majesty summoned him.

Interested, meet him.

Upon seeing this, I immediately realized that this person was just a flower-admirer and a stubborn person with little merit. I guessed that Duke Ning also felt that this person was not of much use, so he moved him to the side."

Prince Ning raised his eyes and looked at Feng Ziying, and said pointedly: "Ziying, although you have many friends, you can't just look at people by their appearance, but you know that people can't be judged by their appearance."

Feng Ziying didn't take it seriously. Feng Ziying thought she had a good eye for the ability to judge people. What Jiaofangsi did undoubtedly showed that Jia Yun was a dissolute person. It was precisely because of this that Feng Ziying started to meet Jiaofangsi from that time.

After that, he stopped dealing with Jia Yun.

However, after hearing what Prince Ning meant, he seemed to have something else to say, so he asked, "What do you think is outstanding about Jia Yun, Your Highness?"

Prince Ning groaned deeply and said, "Brother Huang has given an order today, ordering Jia Yun to raise some points for the Imperial Guards."

Feng Ziying was startled when she heard this and pointed out that this person was a close official of the emperor. How could Jia Yun be so virtuous?

Feng Ziying calmed down and said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I know what to do."

Chief of the Arch Guard Department, this is a special position.

Hearing this, Prince Ning smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Since he hides his clumsiness in front of you, he is wary of you. You deliberately got too close to him, which could be counterproductive... In this way, you are not saying that he is lecherous.

Is that so? Your Feng family and Jia family have been friends for generations, and it’s normal for them to invite each other to play. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauties, so you don’t need to take action yourself."

Feng Ziying nodded and replied: "This is a good idea."

There are some good chess pieces in the Jiaofang Division, but last time I saw that Jia Yun didn't seem to care much about the young courtesans, but he was attracted to the middle-aged ladies. This is a troublesome thing. Jia Yun's look is pure.

It's just fun. If you want to tie up Jia Yun with this, I'm afraid that the meat bun will beat the dog and he will never come back. It seems that you have to put a lot of effort into it.

Seeing that Feng Ziying understood, Prince Ning reminded him: "Feng Bangning was not promoted to the rank of counselor this time, so he must be unwilling to do so. This is a good opportunity. You can forgive him later."

Feng Ziying understood what Prince Ning meant. Eggs would not be put in one basket. Although the position of Counselor Jia Yun was important, the same was true for these deputy counselors. They were all people who knew the emperor's progress, so naturally they had to win over him.

If you can't win over Jia Yun, it would be good to win over Feng Bangning.

Feng Bangning had already managed to win over him, and he was just missing the finishing touch. Now that something like this happened, it was the right time.

Feng Ziying agreed: "I will go to Zhongqin Hou Mansion to visit Brother Bangning later."

Seeing that things were well arranged, King Ning immediately said to Feng Ziying in a serious voice: "Ziying, your talents are not inferior to others. I am treating you badly by asking you to do these small things."

Brother, you can't just arrange things for them to do, the superiors also have to give them some chicken soup from time to time. Only in this way will they do their best.

As expected, Feng Ziying stood up and bowed her head and said: "Your Highness has given you too much praise. It is my blessing to be able to serve His Highness."

Prince Ning laughed loudly and said, "Okay, the Feng family will live up to me, and I will definitely live up to the Feng family in the future."

With this promise, it is worth a thousand words. He did his best to help Prince Ning make friends with the powerful people in the capital. He did not expect to make wealth for the family in the future. When things came true, he, the Feng family, would be granted the title of Marquis.

, no problem.

"The Feng family is determined to be your highness's position." Feng Ziying bowed her head and said in a firm tone.

After waving his hand, Prince Ning said with satisfaction: "Ziying, you are always careful in doing things. I am very relieved. However, you should put more thought into Jia Yun."

Feng Ziying was stunned. He really didn't understand why King Ning valued Jia Yun so much. Although the Arch Guard Department was special, Feng Bangning was not bad either. Jia Yun just occupied the position of the chief of the Arch Guard Department, and his ability and conduct were much worse than Feng Bang Ning's.

Little, but although Feng Ziying had doubts, Prince Ning valued her, so she still had to put some effort into making friends with her.

So Feng Ziying bowed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Ziying will do her best."

Prince Ning saw Feng Ziying's doubts, but he did not explain the reason. But he knew that after Emperor Chongming paid a private visit to meet Jia Yun that day, Emperor Chongming sat quietly in Wuying Hall for a long time. Such an abnormality showed that Jia Yun was not what he seemed.
