"Your Majesty, do you mean to allow me to accompany Yanlang?" She was still not sure and asked again.
Qi Hengyuan hummed: "If you don't want to go to the Crown Princess's place, then don't go. I want to see you in the palace after I return."
The implication is that when he is not in the palace, she can stay outside the palace, but when he returns to the palace, she must also go back.
Yan Ning smiled even happier. If she hadn't been concerned about his status as a king, she would have really wanted to rush up and give him a big hug.
"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will return to the palace immediately after the Lantern Festival."
"Where does Yan Lang live?"
“Near Seongphilosophy Academy.”
"Send you there first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." She smiled again, feeling happy from the bottom of her heart.
Qi Hengyuan looked at her smile, slowly lowered his eyes, and fell asleep again.
After arriving at the house, Yan Ning got off the carriage, lifted up her skirt, and glanced at the king. Thinking of the door plaque she bought in the morning and her thoughts, she called out softly: "Your Majesty."
Qi Hengyuan opened his eyes and looked at her with lukewarm eyes.
Yan Ning said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to come down and take a look?"
"No need."
"I have something that I would like to ask your majesty for help."
Qi Hengyuan asked: "What's the matter?"
"I bought a door plaque, but I haven't inscribed it yet."
Qi Hengyuan's lips curled up into a sneer. She was truly the most thoughtful woman he had ever seen. Did you mean to ask him to write an inscription?
He was not angry and said, "Would you like me to write another couplet for you?"
Yan Ning's heart trembled slightly, knowing that the king was angry. Based on her wisdom, she should not persist at this time, but for the sake of Yan Lang, she still had to bite the bullet and said: "If your Majesty is willing, you can write a couplet. This house has just been bought."
, and indeed I haven’t posted any couplets yet.”
Qi Hengyuan: "..."
He looked at her with dark eyes and said nothing. It was really scary. Yan Ning's scalp went numb and she was about to change her words. The king suddenly stretched out his hand towards her. She didn't know what he meant and walked closer. The next moment, he pulled him and pulled him again.
On the legs.
Yan Ning was even more at a loss. She looked at the man so close and felt the strong pressure on him, and her breathing stopped.
She faced his sharp gaze blankly and uneasily, and said: "Your Majesty... ah."
Before he could finish saying the word 'Your Majesty', the man pushed him down.
She fell to the ground and hit her head on the floor. Fortunately, the floor was covered with thick mats, so it didn't hurt, but she was still a little dizzy.
The king sat there and looked at her with a condescending attitude: "Ren Mei, you are really getting bolder and bolder."
She immediately got up and knelt down, and said as if she had done something wrong: "Your Majesty, calm down, I will never dare to do it again next time."
"Chen Dongyan." The king ignored her and only told Chen Dongyan: "Bring the plaque over and get the pen and ink."
Chen Dongyan responded. He entered the house and found the door plaque. He also took the pen and ink and handed it into the imperial carriage. Although it was an imperial carriage, it was also a carriage, a very spacious and wealthy carriage.
Qi Hengyuan said coldly: "Get up."
Yan Ning stood up immediately. This carriage was really big, and anyone could stand upright.
"Bring the stuff here."
Qi Hengyuan sat in the chair, with a pear wood desk in front of him.
Yan Ning picked up the blank door plaque and pen and ink, and approached cautiously.
"Practice ink."
Yan Ning placed the door plaque on the desk and immediately studied the ink.
Qi Hengyuan picked up the brush and asked: "What to write?"
Yan Ning said: "Yan's house."
Qi Hengyuan raised his eyebrows, Yan's House? This is the Yan family's first house in Guiyang City, right?
Qi Hengyuan really couldn't be annoyed by Yan Ning's subtle tricks, but it didn't mean he liked them. He didn't like Yan Ning's subtle tricks.
Asking him to write an inscription is nothing more than putting a safety lock on this house.
The inscription from the king of a country must have so much weight and grace. To offend this house, depending on Yan Ning's scheming, she can definitely rise to the level of offending him, the king. In disguise, she is protecting Yan Lang.
Thinking of Yan Lang living alone outside, Qi Hengyuan pursed his lips again and carefully wrote two majestic characters: Yan Zhai.
After he finished writing, he put away his brush and seemed unwilling to look at Yan Ning again. He said coldly: "Take the door plaque and go down."
Yan Ning's goal was achieved, and her heart was filled with joy. She was willing to let her go down, let alone let her roll down.
Yan Ning said with a smile: "I'm leaving now. I wish your majesty a happy New Year. When I return to the palace, I will bring you a gift for your majesty!"
Because of her words, Qi Hengyuan had been thinking about it for a whole new year, thinking about what gifts she would bring him. However, after returning to the palace, she didn't buy anything and she forgot her promise.
This really can't be blamed on Yan Ning. When Yan Ning said that, she just said it casually. She never thought that the king would always remember it and look forward to her gift. She thought that he would have thrown her words away.
Yan Ning carried the door plaque and went down, but before she could stand still, the king's cold voice came from the palace: "Go to the Crown Princess."
Yu Chu drove past her, and the thick curtain blocked everything in the carriage. The king could not see her, but she still hugged the door plaque and made a respectful gesture.
Yu Xue left, Yan Ning stood up straight, and Nian Die also stood up straight.
Nian Die took the door plaque from Yan Ning's hand and said with trembling fear: "Mei... Miss, you are so awesome, you actually dare to ask His Majesty to inscribe a plaque on the house."
"..."
She was probably the only one in the world who dared to be so bold as to pluck the tiger's hair.
But she has no choice. If she has a strong family, why should she be like this?
Yan Ning sighed: "Let's go. Anyway, Your Majesty has inscribed the inscription. As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if it's thrilling. Anyway, Your Majesty needs me now and won't chop my head off. I'm lucky enough to live again."
Niandie: "..."
Is it really good to rely on luck?
When Chen Dongyan just entered the house to get the door plaque, Yan Lang knew that the fourth sister was coming. He wanted to come out, but was stopped by Chen Dongyan. Chen Dongyan said a few words in his ear, and Yan Lang did not dare to go out, so he sat in the main room.
wait.
As soon as he saw Yan Ning and Nian Die coming in, he immediately ran out and shouted: "Fourth sister."
Yan Ning pointed to the door plaque in Niandie's hand: "Your Majesty just put the inscription on the door. With this plaque, the house will have a shield and umbrella. I won't be afraid of anyone coming if I'm not here in the future."
There's trouble here."
Yan Lang was deeply moved. He knew that the fourth sister did all this for him. He kept it in his heart, took the door plaque in Niandie's hand, and put it on the door.
Mother Li was busy in the kitchen. When she heard the noise outside, she walked out. When she saw Yan Ning, she immediately saluted: "Miss."
Although she already knew that Yan Ning was a noble person in the palace, she still called her "Miss" in this house.
Mother Li had a lot of flour on her body and was wearing an apron. Yan Ning asked, "Is Mother Li making dumplings?"
"Yes ma'am."
"What kind of stuffing?"
Mother Li was stunned for a moment. The lady before had really not given the order. She said, "Pork stuffed with celery."
Yan Ning smiled: "It's very good. It needs more meat."
Mother Li: "..."
It seems that in the future, meat will be the main ingredient in stir-fried vegetables and dumplings.
Yan Ning said: "Mother Li, go and do your work. Let's eat meat dumplings together in the evening."
Mother Li's forehead twitched, thinking to herself, I know, Miss, that you like to eat meat, so there is no need to emphasize it again, I also like to eat meat.
Mother Li smiled and returned to the kitchen to continue working.
Yan Ning will stay here at night and let Nian Die make the bed in the backyard. Yan Lang will live in the front yard and she will live in the backyard. Although they are siblings, they still have to be careful.
One stove was not enough, so she sent Niandie to buy another stove.
Use one for the front yard and one for the back yard.
In such a cold winter, it's impossible not to have a stove in the house.
Niandie first bought a stove and burned the charcoal, then went to make the bed and sort out the clothes brought from the palace.
Yan Lang came over to take a look and was about to go out. Yan Ning called out to him: "Yan Lang."
Yan Lang turned around and asked, "What's wrong with Fourth Sister?"
Yan Ning said: "When I first came in, there were no couplets posted on the door. Didn't Mother Li buy the couplets?"
After Yan Lang got the precious Xuechen Sword, he kept practicing swordsmanship, but he kept Yan Ning's words in mind. After Yan Ning left, Yan Lang gave Mama Li twenty taels of silver to buy something, and Mama Li bought something.
He bought noodles and meat, vegetables, and couplets. Yan Lang kept accounts, but he didn't know how to write couplets, so he thought he'd wait until Yan Ning came to write them.
Yan Lang said: "I bought it, but I haven't written it yet."
Yan Ning asked: "What did Mother Li buy this afternoon?"
Yan Lang said: "I have kept the accounts. Now show the account books to the fourth sister."
Yan Lang returned to the study and brought the account book over. Yan Ning opened it and looked at it. He remembered that the account book was very simple and concise. Because it was just beginning to keep accounts, the number was very small and he could understand it at a glance.
Yan Ning closed the account book and said, "I will keep accounts this way from now on. Write down how much I gave to Mother Li and how much is the balance."
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Mama Li, or that she’s wary of Mama Li, but it’s that Mama Li has just arrived and her character is still unclear. Yan Ning can’t leave the palace every day to keep an eye on Mama Li.
No one knows whether it is true or not. I have recorded the account so that I can compare it later.
If Mrs. Li's character is reliable, she won't need to keep accounts in the future.
The purpose of keeping accounts is just to test Mother Li's character.
Yan Lang listened to Yan Ning's words and did whatever Yan Ning said. He nodded: "Okay, fourth sister, don't worry, I will remember it clearly in the future."
Yan Lang picked up the writing brush, added the amount of money given to Li's mother today in the account book, and wrote down the remaining amount.
He showed it to Yan Ning again. Yan Ning glanced at it, closed the account book, and asked Yan Lang to take out his son.
After taking out the pair, Yan Ning caught it, spread the pair on the ground, and asked Yan Lang to write the couplet.
Yan Lang touched his head, with a naive smile on his thin and dark face: "Fourth sister, you know me. When I was at Lanzhou Pass, I liked reading military books, but I didn't like reading sages' books very much. Isn't this couplet?
Are you afraid that you can’t write well?”
This is also the reason why he didn't write it at the beginning, but waited for Yan Ning to write it. He wanted Yan Ning to write it.
Yan Ning looked at him and said lightly: "What are you afraid of? This is our own house. It doesn't matter whether it is written well or not. It's just because on New Year's Eve, every household has to post couplets. That's why I let you
If you write it, I wouldn’t let you write it normally.”
Yan Ning gave Yan Lang the brush, and Yan Lang took it, asking, "What are you writing?"
"It's very simple. Write what you want to write. Whatever you want to express, just write. Whatever ideals you have in your heart, just write. The fourth sister just said, this is our own house. It's just for the Spring Festival. It's not
When you participate in a literary competition, the quality of your writing does not matter."
Yan Lang seemed to understand and asked: "Write what I think in my heart?"
Yan Ning nodded: "Yeah."
Yan Lang lowered his head and thought for a moment. After a while, he squatted down and started writing.
First couplet: A white horse carries a distance of ten miles.
Second line: A wanderer returns home at sunset.
Horizontal batch: Chun Ying mountains and rivers.
Yan Ning raised her eyebrows, thinking that at such a young age, Yan Lang still misses his lost homeland. This is understandable. After all, he was born in the family of Marquis Wu, and no one would really be indifferent. Yan Lang wrote a letter before, at the end
The saying is: Win a posthumous reputation.
So Yan Lang actually wanted to make great achievements.
Yan Lang stood up and asked: "Fourth sister, what do you think of this couplet?"
Yan Ning smiled and said: "Okay, it's just to suit the scene anyway. However, one couplet is not enough, so I have to write three. One on the door, one in the front hall, one in the back hall, one on the door and the front
You write what’s in the courtyard, and I’ll write what’s in the backyard.”
Yan Lang nodded, and when the ink on the couplet on the ground dried, he moved over and wrote the second couplet, and then Yan Ning wrote the couplet for the main hall door in the backyard.
This is my own yard, which is not big, and there are not many people at home. Except for the Ning family who may come over as guests during the New Year, there will be no other people, so there is no need to be particular. The third mate is enough.
After finishing writing, Yan Ning asked Nian Die to go to the kitchen to stir the batter. After coming over, Nian Die helped Yan Lang post the couplets. Yan Ning cleaned up the study room. While cleaning up the study room, she still felt that she needed to find a book boy for Yan Lang.
Mother Li was making dumplings in the kitchen. When they were done, she came over to report them. Yan Ning said, "Eat them when they're done."
Each person had a big bowl, and even Mrs. Li also enjoyed the delicious meat dumplings.
Mother Li was eating alone in the kitchen, while Yan Ning, Yan Lang, and Nian Die were eating in the main room. All three of them were hungry and just ate dumplings without talking.
After a bowl of dumplings, Yanning was full, Niandie was almost full, and Yan Lang asked for a second bowl.
Yan Ning watched Yan Lang sweating profusely while eating, looking very satisfied. She felt distressed and sad because this child hadn't eaten dumplings in three years.
Thinking of her parents who were still in exile, Yan Ning felt sad again. She hoped they could eat delicious dumplings next year.
The Ning family didn't know that Yan Ning left the palace today. Originally, Yan Ning had considered taking Yan Lang to the Ning family to celebrate the New Year, but later gave up. This was Yan Lang's first Spring Festival in Guiyang City, and she was accompanying him.
This is the first Spring Festival for the Yan family in Guiyang City. On such a special day, she cannot go to the Ning family. She wants to accompany Yan Lang and live a unique life in this house.
The Spring Festival of their Yan family.
Yan Ning didn't inform the Ning family, so the Ning family didn't know, so both sides had their own affairs.
After Yan Lang had eaten, Yan Ning and Nian Die went for a walk long ago. It was cold, but luckily it didn't snow. Occasionally, there was a cold wind blowing, but it was not strong. Yan Ning and Nian Die were eating in the garden in the backyard. Yan Ning
Lang lost his bowl and chopsticks, and Mother Li took care of them.
Yan Lang was a little full and didn't dare practice sword practice. He also went to eat. When he met Yan Ning and Nian Die, Yan Ning said: "Yan Lang, do you want to go out for a walk? There should be a lot to see in Guiyang City on New Year's Eve.
It’s fun, let’s go see it and learn more?”
The Yan family has guarded Lanzhou Pass for generations. They cannot leave without the king's order, and they cannot enter the imperial city at will. Yan Lang has grown up, and this is really the first time he has come to Guiyang City.
Yan Lang's eyes lit up and he said, "Fourth sister, can we go out to play?"
Yan Ning smiled and said: "Why not? You are now a student of Shengphilosophy Academy. The fourth sister is not talented, but she is also a member of the harem. We are no longer criminals, and our actions are no longer restricted. Where do you want to go?
You can go anywhere, the fourth sister is not in the palace now, so she can accompany you around."
Yan Lang immediately said: "Then let's go see the night view. I haven't seen the night view of the Imperial City yet."
To be honest, Yan Ning hasn't seen it either. She has been in the palace since she entered the palace. She has never come out at night. She has never seen the usual night view, let alone the New Year's night view.
Yan Ning asked Mother Li to look at the yard. She went out with Yan Lang and Nian Die. Before the three of them reached the door, people from Buzhuang came over to give them clothes.
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Just in time, Yan Lang can change into a new set of clothes."
Niandie checked the quantity of clothes with the people from the cloth shop and checked the fabrics. After all the items were in compliance with the requirements, the money and goods were paid. The people from the cloth shop left, and Niandie carried the clothes into the house.
Yan Lang didn't want to change his clothes, but Yan Ning insisted on letting him change, so he had no choice but to change.
There was no carriage, so the three people walked out the door.
It's quiet all around, because this is Shengphilosophy Academy. Even on New Year's Eve or Spring Festival night, no one comes here to make trouble. The entire area around Shengphilosophy Academy is quiet, as if there is a layer of holy light shrouding it.
, making people dare not make mistakes.
After walking past the door, passing through an alley, and turning onto a main road, Yan Ning felt that the road in front of her looked familiar, when she saw the door of a house on the opposite side opened, and a group of people walked out of it.
Seeing the group of people, Yan Ning immediately pulled Yan Lang back a step and hid at the entrance of the alley.
Yan Lang was puzzled and asked: "Fourth sister, what's wrong?"
Yan Ning shushed him and told him to stop talking.
Niandie was a little curious, so she looked outside the entrance of the alley, saw clearly the appearance of those people, and recognized their identities. She was so frightened that she immediately retracted her head and whispered to Yanlang: "It's Your Majesty."
Yan Lang: "..."
Yan Ning looked in the direction she came from, and then in front of the imperial concubine's house. She never expected that Yan Lang's place was so close to the imperial concubine's residence.
Uncle Prince Qi and Princess Qi bid farewell to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess said: "On New Year's Eve, I know you will also go and have fun, so I won't keep you here. I also want to go out for a walk."
Princess Qi said: "Then we can go together. Do you want to go alone?"
The Crown Princess said: "I still have things to do in the academy to be busy with. I will go out after that. You go first. If we meet each other then, we will be together. If we don't meet, forget it."
Princess Qi sighed: "Why bother yourself so much?"
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "I don't think it's tired, I feel very happy."
Princess Qi was a little sad, and even more distressed. After the death of the late emperor, her younger sister put all her energy and thoughts into the academy. It seemed that without the academy, she would not be able to survive.
Princess Qi took the Crown Princess's hand, patted it, and finally followed Uncle Qi into the carriage without saying anything more.
After sending Uncle Qi and Princess Qi away, the Crown Princess looked at Qi Hengyuan again: "I know you won't accompany me or wait for me. Do you have an appointment with someone?"
Qi Hengyuan hummed: "If your sister-in-law has something to do, go and get busy. Don't be too tired. I have an appointment with Qian Yue."
The Crown Princess wanted to say that if you take Yang Qianyue with you and you take Chen Yurong with you, why not take them together? But thinking that Qi Hengyuan only loves Yang Qianyue, if he really takes Chen Yurong with him, Chen Yurong may be a transparent person.
People would make Chen Yurong sad, so he didn't say this.
The Crown Princess glanced next door. The Yang family was next door to the Crown Princess's house. This is why the Crown Princess's surname was Chen. Qi Hengyuan grew up in the Crown Princess's house when he was a child. Instead, he did not follow his childhood sweetheart Chen Yurong, but his childhood sweetheart Chen Yurong.
The reason why Yang Qianyue became childhood sweethearts.
The Yang family and the Crown Princess's house are neighbors. They are separated by a wall, but they cannot separate their childhood sweethearts.
"Are you waiting for Yang Qianyue at the door, or are you going to Yang's house to find her? Or should you go back to the house first and wait for Yang Qianyue to come to you?" Seeing that there was no movement in front of Yang's house, the Crown Princess asked Qi Hengyuan.
Qi Hengyuan said: "I'll wait for her. Sister-in-law, please go back to the house. It's cold outside."
The Crown Princess ignored him, entered the courtyard and closed the door.
Qi Hengyuan walked to the door of Yang's house. He didn't knock on the door or go in. He just stood outside and waited.
Chen Dongyan is on vacation and is not with Qi Hengyuan. The prince will come over tomorrow to take care of him, but he will not be here tonight.
At this moment, there is only one Qi Hengyuan in front of the Yang family.
Nian Die asked in a low voice: "Miss, what is your Majesty doing?"
Yan Ning raised her head and glanced at the door of the house where Qi Hengyuan was standing. It said Yang Family on it. She seemed to understand and said, "Are you waiting for Concubine Yang?"
Niandie was surprised: "Ah?"
She couldn't help but envy: "Concubine Yang is really rich and noble in the world. In this world, the only woman in the world who can make His Majesty willing to wait outside the door is Concubine Yang, right? Concubine Yang is really lucky. She was born into the Yang family.
Not to mention, His Majesty still loves me."
"Hey." She sighed and couldn't help but look at her little master, shaking her head again and again.
There is no hope for beauty.
It seems that the road of inviting pets is not feasible.
Yan Ning didn't know what Niandie was lamenting, she just felt that Qi Hengyuan was standing there and it was difficult for the group of them to go out.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's go back and take another way. We don't know how long His Majesty will wait, and we don't have time to spend here with him."
Yan Lang nodded: "I listen to Fourth Sister."
Niandie had no objection, so the three of them returned the same way and went out another way.
Fortunately, the streets of Guiyang City are connected in all directions. After walking half a stick of incense, I finally walked out of the Shengphilosophy Academy and felt the lively New Year atmosphere.
Niandie asked: "Miss, which street are you going to?"
Yan Ning didn't know either, so he simply said: "Wherever the shouting is loudest, we will go."
She looked at Yan Lang: "Yan Lang, listen to which street has the loudest shouting."
Yan Lang used all his inner strength to listen, and pointed in one direction. That was South Street, which had to be the most prosperous street.
Yan Ning said: "That's South Street, let's go to South Street."
Walking along the way, I met many people, but no one knew anyone. I could vaguely see the silhouette of the Silver Guards, but they were not many in number. They should only be on duty.
Although South Street is the most prosperous, when passing by other streets, you can also feel the excitement of other streets.
Yan Lang was dazzled by what he saw.
Niandie chirped: "Miss, look, look, that person is so powerful."
"Miss, look, look, those lanterns are so beautiful, like mountains."
"Miss, there are so many people."
"Miss, there are jugglers there, shall we go and see them?"
"Miss……"
"Miss……"
Niandie was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Yan Ning was also dazzled.
She actually didn't know what the olden days were like in Jiang's imperial city. She seemed to have gone back to celebrate the New Year when she was a child, but she couldn't remember it clearly. Later, because her father was compiling a geographical gazetteer, she went far away and couldn't go back during the Chinese New Year.
, I will not go back. Over time, I seem to have developed a habit. If I can't go back, I won't go back.
Her mother said that as long as the family is together, the Chinese New Year is celebrated everywhere.
My father took it for granted and just accepted the situation as he pleased.
She has been to many places and participated in many New Year festivals, but she has no impression of the New Year scene in the Imperial City of Jiang State. This may be God's will.
There was a maid next to her talking: "Miss, this year's New Year's Eve seems to be particularly lively!"
Before the lady could respond, a woman setting up a stall answered: "Of course, our Majesty has regained three lost territories in a row this year! This is really gratifying!"
The old man selling drinks next to him also followed suit: "Who says it's not the case? With such good news, everyone should make the festive atmosphere even more lively!"
The young man selling lanterns said: "I didn't even come out to set up a stall last year. To be honest, South Street was very deserted last year."
The girl selling rouge and gouache said: "If your Majesty can recover three lost territories, he can recover the other six. I believe next year's Spring Festival will be even more lively."
Everyone began to talk and praise their Majesty for his greatness and the soldiers across the Qi Kingdom.
Yan Ning thought, it turns out that there is a reason for the excitement this year. Also, the Qi Kingdom suffered such a tragic defeat three years ago. If the people were in the mood to come out to have fun, Qi Hengyuan would definitely not come out, even if he went to celebrate the New Year with the Crown Princess.
, I’m not in the mood to go out and walk around either.
Yan Ning thought to herself, it turns out that her existence is not to make a small group of people happy, but to make the entire people of Qi happy.
And as long as she is here, she will make this happiness and prosperity pass on forever.
Yan Lang saw someone playing swordsmanship on the street, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He pulled Yan Ning's arm and pointed to the place where the sword was played: "Fourth sister, I want to go there and have a look."
There was a burst of applause in the swordplay area. Yan Ning had noticed it a long time ago. She glanced at Yan Lang and said helplessly: "I asked you to come to Guiyang City to study. It's better for you to focus on martial arts."
Yan Lang smiled and said, "Isn't it that school has not officially started yet? Fourth sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard when school starts, and not focus on martial arts."
That being said, Yan Ning was reluctant to refuse Yan Lang, so she had no choice but to take him with her.
Yan Lang watched with great interest, but Yan Ning and Nian Die were not interested at all. They were watching the lanterns in the shop next to them.
In a wing of the restaurant opposite, Chen Dongyan, Yang Xiaoli, Fu Huanghe and Xie Jingli were drinking. Xie Jingli's sharp eyes spotted Yan Ning first and poked Chen Dongyan's arm, asking him to look down.
Chen Dongyan followed his gaze and saw Yan Ning. He raised his eyelids and looked at Xie Jingli: "What's wrong?"
"Yanmei is down there."
Chen Dongyan said expressionlessly: "What does it have to do with me?"
Xie Jingli smiled, and that smile made Chen Dongyan very uncomfortable.
Chen Dongyan still didn't speak, and Fu Huanghe clicked his tongue: "Yan Mei people are very good at following the local customs, and they even left the palace. It seems that your majesty allowed it. Your Majesty seems to treat Yan Mei people a little differently."
"Of course." It was Yang Xiaoli who answered.
Yang Xiaoli also saw Yan Ning on South Street. Yang Xiaoli didn't know Yan Ning originally, but they met by chance on East Street and Yan Ning was very close to Ning Susu. Yang Xiaoli naturally remembered her very well, although at that time
Yan Ning was dressed in men's clothing, but now she was in women's clothing, but Yang Xiaoli still recognized her.
Yang Xiaoli said: "There are few women in the world who can see through the world like Yan Meiren and use such wisdom on the battlefield. It is normal for Your Majesty to treat her differently."
Xie Jingli closed the folding fan and said with a smile: "With Yan Mei's talents, it will be a matter of time before she can win the emperor's heart."
Chen Dongyan glanced at him, and he happened to look at Chen Dongyan. Their eyes met. Chen Dongyan raised his eyebrows and said lukewarmly: "Your Majesty's thoughts are not something we can guess."
Xie Jingli said: "Aren't you curious?"
"What are you curious about?"
"I'm curious if your Majesty falls in love with Yan Meiren one day..."
The three men looked at him. Yang Xiaoli pinched a peanut and hit Xie Jingli on the head. Fu Huanghe lifted the wine jar and placed it in front of Xie Jingli. Chen Dongyan snatched the fan from Xie Jingli's hand and gestured with his chin: "Punishment."
liquor."
Xie Jingli: "..."
He said speechlessly: "Why do you punish me with drinking?"
The three men said in unison: "You deserve to be punished."
Xie Jingli: "..."
He smiled, picked up the wine jar and started drinking.
Chen Dongyan lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Ning downstairs.
Fu Hehuang looked at Nian Die next to Yan Ning.
Yang Xiaoli looked for Ning Susu next to Yan Ning, but couldn't find her.
After Yan Lang watched a martial arts performance, his blood boiled with excitement. He regretted not bringing the Xue Chen Sword out, otherwise he could have gone up and performed some tricks.
Yan Lang felt itchy in his heart and hands, and said to Yan Ning: "Fourth sister, Guiyang City is so big, there should be a martial arts field, right?"
Yan Ning asked warily: "What do you want to do?"
Yan Lang said: "Fourth sister, don't be nervous, I'm just going to practice martial arts, nothing else."
Liu Lei happened to be passing by on patrol and heard Yan Lang's words. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Yan Lang. He found that Yan Lang was just a child, quite thin. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "He's from a kid's house, doing some kid things."
That’s it, what kind of martial arts field are you going to? Do you know where the martial arts field is?”
Of course Yan Lang knew that, when he was at Lanzhou Pass, he often went to the martial arts field.
Yan Lang also glanced at the man speaking in front of him. Seeing that he was wearing official uniform, his face couldn't help but become more respectful, and his words were also cautious, but without any groveling. He smiled and said: "I
I know where the martial arts field is. I have been there, but it’s just my first time in Guiyang City. I have never been to the martial arts field in Guiyang City. I heard what you are saying, there is also a martial arts field in Guiyang City, right?”
Liu Lei raised his eyebrows, looked at him a few times, and said, "You don't look big."
"Yes, I am 10 years old this year. After the New Year, I will be 11 years old."
Liu Lei nodded. The Qi State was proficient in martial arts, and Wuhou and Guanhou captured a lot of them. Most of the disciples of these Wuhou and Guanhou also practiced martial arts. Of course, there were also some who did not seek advancement and did not like to practice martial arts, so they turned to martial arts.
Examples of academic literature, but those are still a minority.
Liu Lei did not ask about Yan Lang's origins, thinking that when he came to Guiyang City for the first time, he must not be a descendant of Wuhou in Guiyang City, and must be guarding the Nine Passes and Nine Cities.
As a member of the Silver Guards and a military general, Liu Lei always has a little more respect for those who practice martial arts, especially the border guards from the Nine Passes and Nine Cities. They defend their home and country with their own flesh and blood, and deserve more respect.
"There are a total of six martial arts fields in Guiyang City, two inside the city and four outside the city. The two martial arts fields inside the city are relatively peaceful and generally there will be no serious injuries. If you really want to go to the martial arts field to practice martial arts, I suggest you go
There are two martial arts arenas in the city, both of which are on West Street, one on the street and one at the end of the street. Tonight is New Year’s Eve, so there will definitely be more lively than usual there. Do you want to go now?”
"I……"
"If you go, I can take you there."
Yan Ning's eyelids twitched, thinking about how you, a good Silver Guard, can't lead the way if you don't fulfill your duties?
She asked Yan Lang to come to Guiyang City to let him learn, not to compete.
Yan Ning smiled and said: "Thank you sir, my brother is indeed good at martial arts. We have just arrived in Guiyang City and are not very familiar with Guiyang City. Since you told us where the martial arts field is, we just have to go find it ourselves.
I don’t dare to trouble the adults.”
Liu Lei was a man who cherished martial arts. He felt that the young boy in front of him spoke to him neither humble nor arrogantly, and had the air of a general, so he liked him even more. He was so happy that he forgot that he was still on duty.
Liu Lei slapped his head: "Look at me, I really forgot that I am on duty. Well, you go by yourselves. I am on duty, so I really can't wander around."
Yan Ning said some words of gratitude, and Liu Lei clasped his fists and left.
Yan Lang said excitedly: "Fourth sister, are we going to the martial arts field now?"
Yan Ning rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Why are we going? Going to the martial arts field on New Year's Eve? What do you think?"
The excited expression on Yan Lang's face suddenly dissipated, and he asked: "Can't you go to the martial arts field on New Year's Eve night?" There is no such rule in Lanzhou Pass.
There is no such rule in Lanzhou Pass, nor in Guiyang City, otherwise the Silver Guard wouldn't have said that the martial arts field would be more and more lively tonight.
Yan Ning said: "You have just arrived today. I want to take you for a walk. First, you will be familiar with the four streets, and then you will see the folk customs of Guiyang City. If it is not for the Chinese New Year, His Majesty will also be out of the palace to celebrate the New Year. Fourth Sister
I can’t even get out. This is a rare opportunity. Fourth sister wants to spend more time with you. Don’t you want to spend more time with fourth sister?”
"Of course I do."
"That's it, let's go shopping. Tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, we'll go to the Ning family. If you want to go to the martial arts field, the fourth sister will leave you alone. Is that okay?"
Yan Lang nodded and took the initiative to take Yan Ning's hand: "Fourth sister, let's go to the front and take a look."
Yan Ning agreed, Nian Die followed, and the three of them headed to the more lively place ahead.
The three men above the restaurant looked away at the same time. When they looked away, different emotions flashed in the eyes of the three men.
Xie Jingli's jar of wine had just been finished. He put down the empty jar of wine. Before he could say anything, Chen Dongyan stood up first and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll go to the Royal Military Arena later."
The royal martial arts field is also outside the city. It is the final martial arts field among the six martial arts fields. Whether it is the martial arts field inside the city or the martial arts field outside the city, there are strict rules. No human life is allowed. Once a human life is caused, both sides of the competition will be killed.
They were tortured so cruelly that their families would also suffer.
The martial arts field is just a place for martial arts practitioners to compete. The reason why there is an additional royal martial arts field inside and outside the city is because even the martial arts practitioners have different levels of strength. Qi State is very martial, and some people born in the Wuhou family
Children are also practicing martial arts since childhood, and these people love martial arts. After learning some martial arts, they want to find someone to learn from. But at this time, their strength is far from enough, so there is a junior martial arts field in the city. Such a martial arts field
Best for them.
When the martial arts field in the city can no longer satisfy them, they can go to the martial arts field outside the city to find people with higher martial arts skills to compete.
After you have beaten all three martial arts fields and feel that you have no opponents, you can go to the royal martial arts field.
The people in the royal military field are all military generals, and the lowest level is soldier level. Regardless of whether the competition is successful or not, you can become a military attache. It depends on whether you are willing. Of course, even if you become a military attache, you have to start from the most basic level.
, you don’t just become a Marquis of Wu as soon as you come up.
After Chen Dongyan, Fu Huanghe, and Yang Xiaoli became martial arts boys with Qi Hengyuan, Qi Hengyuan competed with them, or the three of them competed with each other. The place they went to was the royal martial arts field.
Before Qi Hengyuan ascended the throne as emperor, they often went to the royal martial arts field to play. After Qi Hengyuan ascended the throne, Chen Dongyan, Fu Huanghe, and Yang Xiaoli each received official positions. Neither Qi Hengyuan nor the three of them were so...
They had too much time to go to the royal martial arts field, so Qi Hengyuan decided that every year on New Year's Eve, they would go to the royal martial arts field to compete and compete to see if the skills of the four of them had deteriorated this year.
Fu Huanghe nodded: "See you at the Royal Military Arena."
Yang Xiaoli also said: "See you at the Royal Military Arena."
Xie Jingli likes doing business, but he doesn't like wielding swords and guns, so he doesn't get involved.
The Chen family and the Xie family are neighbors. Before Chen Dongyan went to work as a martial arts boy next to Qi Hengyuan, he and Xie Jingli were good brothers who wore the same pants. The two of them really grew up together.
When Xie Jingli heard that Chen Dongyan was leaving, he stood up and chased Chen Dongyan downstairs.
Chen Dongyan really wanted to do something. It was a small thing, but for him, it was also an extremely important thing.
Seeing Xie Jingli following him, he said, "Don't follow me."
Xie Jingli asked: "Where are you going?"
"You don't care about me."
"..."
Xie Jingli reached out and pulled Chen Dongyan's arm: "I have a mission tonight."
Chen Dongyan was about to say: "What does your mission have to do with me?"
Just as he was about to say the words, he suddenly paused.
He guessed something, turned around suddenly, and his eyes fell coldly on Xie Jingli: "Is this another task given to you by your sister?"
Xie Jingli held a folding fan in his hand and said helplessly: "Who makes her like you so much?"
"I don't like her!"
After saying that, he strode forward. If Sheridan hadn't been Xie Jingli's sister, Chen Dongyan would have been rude to her long ago.
Xie Jingli quickly caught up with her: "I know you don't like her, and I try to persuade her every day, but I can't help it. Dongyan, after all, we all grew up together. Even if you don't regard her as your lover, you definitely do.
As a younger sister, right? It’s her 30th today, and she wants to swim in the lake with you. You..."
Chen Dongyan suddenly raised his inner strength and disappeared in front of Xie Jingli in the blink of an eye like a ghost on the crowded South Street.
Xie Jingli: "..."
If you don't go, you won't go. Why show off your martial arts? I know you are great!
Xie Jingli sighed and went to find his sister.
Chen Dongyan walked into Jinmei Pavilion, and a waiter immediately came to greet him: "Mr. Chen, happy New Year, do you want to buy any gifts for others?"
You can't blame the waiter for asking this, it's really because Jinmei Pavilion sells all women's things. Chen Dongyan is a grown man, and he definitely doesn't buy things for himself. Plus, it's his thirtieth year, so it's perfect to buy gifts for others.
Chen Dongyan shook his head: "I won't buy anything."
The waiter raised his eyebrows: "Then Mr. Chen..."
"I'm looking for Master Tao."
The waiter immediately said: "Master Tao's workshop in the east courtyard, I will take you there."
"Thank you for your efforts."
Master Tao is the technician of Jinmei Pavilion. He usually doesn't see outsiders, but if someone wants to repair antique calligraphy and painting or gold, silver and jade, he has to come to him.
The waiter took Chen Dongyan to the making workshop in the east courtyard, and Chen Dongyan met the pottery master.
Master Tao asked: "What should I repair?"
Chen Dongyan lowered his head and carefully took off the string of Buddhist beads on his left hand. He looked at it cherishingly and then handed it to Master Tao: "Help me put a protective cover on this string of Buddhist beads."
Master Tao took the beads, looked at them, and asked, "What material do you want to use?"
"The most durable."
"Then gum."
"Okay, when will it be ready?"
"It will be fine in an hour. If Mr. Chen is not in a hurry, you can sit here and wait for a while."
"I'm not in a hurry, but you have to be careful not to break the beads."
Master Tao nodded: "I will pay attention." Then he got up and entered a room.
An hour later, Master Tao came out and gave a brown bracelet to Chen Dongyan. Chen Dongyan took it and looked at it. Both the beads and the threads that strung the beads were covered with gum, and the contents inside could not be seen.
Chen Dongyan hesitated for a moment, then carefully dropped it to the ground, leaving it intact.
He picked it up, put a little more force on it, and dropped it again, but it was still intact.
After picking it up again, he gritted his teeth and threw it hard. The moment the beads bracelet fell to the ground, his heartbeat almost stopped. He didn't dare to look at it. Master Tao picked it up and handed it to him, smiling.
Then he said: "It's not broken, Mr. Chen, don't worry, the quality of everything that passes through my hands is guaranteed."
Only then did Chen Dongyan dare to open his eyes. The bracelet in front of him was intact and without any damage.
Chen Dongyan finally felt relieved this time, took the bracelet and put it on his left hand again, and went out to pay.
He walked into the downtown area and was in a very good mood. Passing by a jewelry shop, he stopped for a while and bought an elegant white jade carved plum blossom hairpin.
He put the hairpin in his sleeve pocket and strode to the royal military field outside the city.
Qi Hengyuan met Yang Qianyue at the door of Yang's house, and the two of them took a sedan chair to Wuyang River.
Wuyang River is the largest river in Guiyang City, and it usually carries part of the river trade. But on New Year's Eve, the entire Wuyang River is lit up with lanterns, and the scenery along the river is very spectacular and beautiful.
Yang Qianyue likes to take boats the most. She has loved going to Wuyang River when she was a child. She has become more and more fond of it as she grows up. Whether it is before Qi Hengyuan ascends the throne or after he ascends the throne, on New Year’s Eve, Qi Hengyuan will accompany Yang Qianyue to visit the places on Wuyang River.
The scenery is beautiful, but Qi Hengyuan has never accompanied Yang Qianyue here.
Before Qi Hengyuan's imperial brother died in battle, Qi Hengyuan never had a carefree day. At that time, after he lost his father, the emperor, and his mother, Qi Hengyuan always had the flame of revenge in his heart, and he buried his head in it.
The purpose of practicing martial arts is to avenge the past, and one day be able to go to the battlefield in person to avenge your father, emperor and mother.
With hatred in his heart, he has neither the mood nor the time to have fun.
Others thought that he liked Yang Qianyue, but in fact, he only regarded Yang Qianyue as his sister. After all, when he was a child, Yang Qianyue often went to him and accompanied him when he was resting. At that time, Qi Hengyuan felt that it would be good to have such a sister.
He only has one father, one queen, one queen, and one royal brother, but all of these people have left him. He longs for family affection, he wants relatives, so he naturally regards Yang Qianyue as his sister, so he treats Yang Qianyue particularly well.
He would satisfy almost all her requests and treat her differently from other women, but that was not love. Qi Hengyuan knew very well that it was not love.
Yang Qianyue didn't know what Qi Hengyuan was thinking. Yang Qianyue only knew that Qi Hengyuan was very good to her. Others misunderstood that she was Qi Hengyuan's sweetheart. Of course she herself also misunderstood.
She thought Qi Hengyuan loved her. After all, no woman could be as favored by Qi Hengyuan as she was.
Seeing that it was getting late, and fearing that Qi Hengyuan would leave, Yang Qianyue said delicately: "Brother Hengyuan, you are not going to the royal martial arts field tonight, can you accompany me?"
Yang Qianyue really likes Qi Hengyuan and is reluctant to leave Qi Hengyuan, but Qi Hengyuan has to go to the Royal Arena on the 30th day of every year and cannot stay with her all the time.
Qi Hengyuan glanced at Yang Qianyue and said, "It's windy on the lake, so we can't play all the time."
Yang Qianyue said: "If we don't play here all the time, let's go have supper?"
Qi Hengyuan shook his head: "You're not hungry. If you are, go back and eat something. Don't eat outside. It's really getting late. I'll take you back."
Seeing that she couldn't keep Qi Hengyuan anymore, Yang Qianyue didn't force herself, just for fear of making him unhappy.
He was so angry that she couldn't calm him down.
Yang Qianyue stepped back and asked for the next best thing, and said, "Brother Hengyuan, shall I go to the royal martial arts field with you?"
Qi Hengyuan took her hand away and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's not the place for you to go. Go back to sleep."
Yang Qianyue acted coquettishly: "I want to accompany Brother Hengyuan."
Qi Hengyuan frowned. He felt very strange. It was obviously Yang Qianyue who was acting coquettishly to him, but he thought of Yan Ning.
If one were to say which woman in the world is the weakest and most suitable for acting like a spoiled child, it must be Yan Ning.
Her coquettish look is unmatched by any woman.
This chapter has more than 10,000 words. It’s the first update today. It’s really too many words. Why are there so many words in one chapter? Because I don’t want to keep uploading chapters. It’s a bit tiring. I also have to think of titles. It’s annoying. I’ll do that in the future.
There is no limit to the number of words in one chapter, but it is guaranteed to be no less than 6,000 words.
Your Majesty likes girls who can act like a spoiled child. Can you act like a spoiled child?
