Qi Hengyuan hummed, and Yan Ning immediately asked people to prepare, and then came over to pour tea for Qi Hengyuan. Qi Hengyuan asked: "What did you do yesterday when you left the palace?"
Yan Ning's hand holding the tea cup paused, thinking that he clearly knew what she was doing when she left the palace, but he still asked. Not to mention that he might have known before she left the palace. There was no way that Chen Dongyan didn't ask him when she came back yesterday.
report.
I knew it and still asked, maybe he was testing her to see if she would tell the truth.
Yan Ning reached out and handed the teacup to the king and said, "Yan Lang is coming, and I bought him a house outside."
Qi Hengyuan took the tea cup and took a sip. His face looked neither salty nor bland, but he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. She wanted to go out to buy a house for Yan Lang, so she just told him openly, and she didn't have to go around the bush to do anything.
After her achievements came out, wouldn't he give her grace if she had no achievements? Is he so stingy?
"Did you buy it?"
"Got it."
Qi Hengyuan stopped talking, sat there and drank a cup of tea, then put the tea cup on the table, held Yan Ning's hand, and pulled Yan Ning to his side.
Yan Ning was a little confused and raised her eyes to look at him.
Qi Hengyuan said: "Yanlang has arrived."
Yan Ning was stunned for a while, and then said in surprise: "Your Majesty, you said... Yan Lang has arrived?"
"Well, Yinshi arrived. At that time, I was about to go to court. I thought you hadn't gotten up yet, so I asked him to rest at the palace gate first. After breakfast, I'll have someone take you there. You two siblings can talk.
, I have already said hello to the imperial sister-in-law, and Yan Lang will report directly to Shengzhi Academy after leaving the palace."
Yan Ning was overjoyed and wished she could meet Yan Lang now, but the king was here and she did not dare to neglect him. She had to suppress her eagerness and said with a smile: "Your Majesty treats me so well. I can only use every word to treat him."
I will repay Your Majesty with victory in this war."
Qi Hengyuan let go of her hand with a serious look on his face, then raised his gaze and glanced at her lips. He didn't know what he thought of, but his ears were a little red and he felt uncomfortable all over. He stood up and walked to the window.
Look at the scenery outside the window.
After breakfast was prepared, the two of them went to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Qi Hengyuan went to the Imperial Study Room, and Yan Ning was taken to see Yan Lang by the palace officials.
Yan Lang saw Yan Ning and shouted: "Fourth sister!"
Yan Ning stepped forward and took Yan Lang's hand, took a closer look and said, "I'm still thinner."
Yan Lang was ten years old, a small boy, but as tall as Yan Ning. When he heard Yan Ning say that he had lost weight, he smiled with a smile on his face and said: "It's not that I have lost weight, it's that I have grown taller. Fourth sister, you
Look, I'm almost taller than you."
He made a gesture with his hand, obviously very proud of himself.
Yan Ning felt sad when she heard that. All the men in the Yan family were tall. When he was exiled, Yan Lang was very tall. Yan Lang was indeed very thin. It was heartbreaking to be so thin, but it was not because he had grown taller, but because he had grown taller.
Years of exile, without enough food and clothing, and because of starvation, she was thin. Even though she later entered the palace and sealed the talented people, their situation would not change much. At most, those people would no longer whip them.
, but it is almost impossible to really eat enough.
Yan Ning reached out and touched Yan Lang's bony cheek. She felt pain in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, for fear that it would make Yan Lang uncomfortable. She touched Yan Lang's head again and compared it with her own height.
He sighed deliberately: "It's true, Yan Lang is taller than the fourth sister."
Yan Lang smiled. Because he was too thin, his smile was all bones. Fortunately, his eyes were very bright, which made people feel happy when they looked at them.
Yan Ning pulled Yan Lang to sit down and asked him, "Have you had breakfast?"
Yan Lang said: "Eat it, the eunuch in the palace sent it here."
Yan Ning felt relieved and asked again: "Were your family members okay when you came?"
Yan Lang said: "It's all good."
Yan Ning became even more relieved and said to Yan Lang: "Fourth sister will send you to Shengzhi Academy in a while. Fourth sister knows that you like to practice martial arts and don't like reading much, but you have to know that a powerful Wuhou is not just a
It is enough to know martial arts. He must also be familiar with the sages and military books and be familiar with the art of war. The art of war does not all come from military books. There are many more that can be obtained from life and other books. You are still young and have a clan.
People have not yet been pardoned, have not returned to Lanzhou Pass, and have not officially faced the enemy. This is the best period for you to learn."
She held his hand and spoke sincerely: "Your brother Yanyun is no longer here, and you are the only man among the younger generation in the entire Yan family. Your future is not for yourself, but for the entire Yan family. You want
To be the leader of the Yan family, you must polish yourself from an early age and train yourself to be an all-round and excellent person, do you understand?"
Yan Lang is young, but because he grew up in Lanzhou Pass and practiced martial arts hard since he was a child, his mind is also precocious. Although he has not officially joined the army and has never been to the battlefield, he has a tough mind, otherwise he would not be like this at his age.
How could a child of 20 years old endure the pain of three years of exile? Three years ago, he was only seven years old.
Yan Lang nodded and said solemnly: "Fourth sister, don't worry. Yanlang will definitely live up to your hard work. I will definitely study hard after entering Shengzhi Academy."
Yan Ning wanted to send Yan Lang out of the palace to the Holy Academy of Philosophy in person. This matter had to be reported to the king. Yan Ning did not write a letter and asked Niandie to go to the Holy Academy to convey it in person. Yan Ning drew a route for Niandie, from that
I took the route to the imperial study room and didn't meet Fu Huanghe.
Niandie was not admitted to the palace, but the prince came out to inquire and conveyed the words to the king.
Qi Hengyuan sat there and frowned. He saw clearly how Yan Ning was treated when he returned victorious on New Year's Eve. His wife-in-law did not like Yan Ning.
That day he went out of the palace to have dinner with the emperor's wife, and told him about letting Yan Lang enter Shengzhi Academy.
The Crown Princess looked at him and said: "Yan Ning, as a member of the Qi State, should have solved the problems for the Qi State, but she relied on her talents to do whatever she wanted in the harem, and now she relies on her talents to help her family.
Looking for a way out, Your Majesty, this woman has too deep thoughts and should not stay in the palace. After the Qi Kingdom unifies the country, Your Majesty will expel her from the palace."
Qi Hengyuan said quietly: "The emperor's sister-in-law is still angry at Yan Ning because of Chen Yurong's grounding."
The Crown Princess said: "The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh. You are the flesh of my hands, and so is Yurong, but Yan Ning is not. Your Majesty, don't think I am partial. Treating your own relatives is naturally different from treating outsiders.
If I don’t protect my own family, but instead protect an outsider, then who am I?”
Qi Hengyuan said: "The emperor's sister-in-law can only protect her relatives, but I can't."
The Crown Princess looked at him.
Qi Hengyuan said: "If I am loyal and undivided, and only use family affection as the criterion for judging things, then, Sister-in-law, should you be happy or worried?"
