After Yan Ning looked at Mrs. Du, her first impression of her was good. She smiled and said: "From now on, the flowers and plants in the yard will be left to you. I don't understand this, and neither does Yan Lang, and he doesn't have time."
"Whatever you need, tell Yan Lang and he will pay you."
Du Shi nodded quickly: "Okay, Miss."
Du and Wang Dazhuang were husband and wife, so they naturally lived together. Yan Ning asked Li's mother to buy a stove and put it in the couple's penthouse. The couple was very grateful. It was really difficult to have no stove in winter. Wang Dazhuang's health
He is strong and does not need a stove, but his wife may not be able to bear it and will fall ill.
Of course, when we were in the Ning family, because there were so many servants in the house, it was impossible to prepare stoves for the servants' rooms. If you were sick, you would treat yourself. Sometimes the eldest lady would also advance some money for medicine.
They were servants, not that rich, and could carry it no matter how cold it was. It was beyond their imagination to have a stove in their house.
Mrs. Du packed up her things, Wang Dazhuang also lit the stove, and the room slowly became warmer.
Du sat down by the stove to warm her hands and sighed: "Miss, you are indeed a good person. No wonder you are so willing to stay."
Wang Dazhuang said: "Miss treats us well, we must do our best. Tomorrow you will clean up the yard and try to make it look more like a home, a warm and beautiful home."
Du Shi nodded: "I know, of course I will try my best."
Now the family has everything, including a coachman, a gardener, a book boy, a maid and a mother in charge. Yan Ning has autonomously put Mother Li in the position of the mother in charge. The originally lonely courtyard
It has become a complete home. When more flowers and plants appear in the yard, it will become more like a home.
Yan Ning was very happy, but at the same time she regretted that she shouldn't have brought the two boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and silks and satins into the palace. Now she wanted to take some out and put them at Yan Lang's place, but she couldn't.
Yan Ning sat on the edge of the bed and sighed silently.
Fortunately, the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the king will definitely come out. Then she will ask the king to help her bring some out.
Yan Ning immediately ran to the study to write a letter. After writing the letter, she suddenly thought that no one could send the letter to the palace, and she sat there feeling melancholy again.
But soon she relaxed her eyebrows again. In fact, she could use many people. Yang Xiaoli, Chen Dongyan, and Fu Huanghe. These three people could enter the palace anytime and anywhere. No matter which one of these three people was invited, they could get the letter.
Deliver it to the king.
Who to invite?
When you ask someone for help, you have to owe a favor, and Yan Ning really doesn't want to owe a favor.
Yan Ning has already asked Yang Xiaoli for help once, but she doesn't want to ask him again this time.
Invite Chen Dongyan? If you invite Chen Dongyan, you must give a thank you gift. If you don't give a thank you gift, you will owe a favor. Yan Ning did not want to owe Chen Dongyan any favor, so she excluded Chen Dongyan.
In this case, only Fu Huanghe is left.
Yan Ning turned around and asked Niandie at the table: "Did you bring out Fu Huanghe's belt when we left the palace?"
Niandie blinked and said, "I don't know, I don't know. Master Fu's badge is in the hands of the lady, isn't it?"
Previously, Fu Huanghe sent the master and servant out of the palace. Yan Ning tested Fu Huanghe with the waist card, and then gave the waist card to Niandie. However, after returning to the palace, Niandie gave the waist card to Yan Ning.
, let Yan Ning keep it.
Yan Ning patted her head: "I remembered it. I left it in the palace and didn't bring it out."
Niandie was puzzled: "Why did the young lady suddenly ask about Mr. Fu's identity card?"
"I want someone to deliver a letter to the palace. How can I enter the palace without a badge?"
"..."
Niandie didn't know what to say. After a moment, she asked, "Miss, do you want to write a letter to His Majesty?"
"Um!"
Nian Die smiled and said: "Miss, do you miss Your Majesty?"
Yan Ning gave her a big look: "What are you talking about? On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, His Majesty asked the prince to move two big boxes. The boxes contained gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. The gold was given to Yan Lang before it rained.
The silver and the satin for Mother Li were all taken out from there. At that time, I thought that I wouldn't need so much at the moment and it wouldn't be safe outside, so I asked Your Majesty to bring the box into the palace again, but now the house
Another population has been added, and I will be entering the palace soon. It is better to leave some more money for Yan Lang. I want to take out half of the things in the two boxes and put them with Yan Lang, so that he can take them as he needs."
Niandie didn't know what was in those two big boxes at that time. Yan Ning only told Yan Lang, not her. Now after hearing Yan Ning's words, Nian Die was shocked: "Those two big boxes,
Is it gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin?”
Yan Ning smiled and said: "Yes, what your Majesty has given me, we can use it with confidence."
"Why did your Majesty suddenly reward young lady with these things?"
She had an expression on her face that said, "Does Your Majesty like Miss?" and said with a smile: "Miss, Your Majesty..."
"You want to say that Your Majesty likes me?"
"yes……"
"You didn't remember what I told you before. Your Majesty doesn't like me, but me who is useful. If I'm useless, he won't even look at me."
"..."
A basin of cold water was poured on Nian Die, and Nian Die sighed: "I know this, I'm talking nonsense again, miss, don't mind, I really won't say it again in the future."
She was afraid that Yan Ning would be angry, so she immediately changed the topic: "Miss wants to send a message to the palace, but Master Fu's belt is not there, so what should we do?"
Yan Ning held her chin and shook her head: "I don't know either."
Niandie whispered: "How about I go find Master Fu and ask him for help?"
Yan Ning looked at her: "He might do something to you."
Fu Huanghe looks cold and serious, but deep down he pretends to be a bad guy. I just don't know if he only treats Niandie like this or treats other women like this.
I have been out for so many days, and I have never heard any negative comments from Fu Huanghe, nor...
"Huh?" Yan Ning suddenly said.
Niandie asked: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Yan Ning raised her eyebrows and said, "Niandie, we have been out for so many days, have we never met Fu Huanghe?"
After all, the Fu family is also a very prestigious family. I met Chen Dongyan, Chen Yurong, Yang Xiaoli, Yang Qianyue, Xie Jingli, and Xie Dan that day, but I didn't meet Fu Huanghe.
According to Fu Huanghe's relationship with Yang Xiaoli and Chen Dongyan, it was impossible for him to be absent that day.
Yan Ning suddenly thought of what the king said that day. When discussing Jiang Guo's declaration of war, she asked the king to prepare in advance. The king said that he had already arranged it.
Perhaps Fu Huanghe left the capital during the Chinese New Year and has not returned yet.
Yan Ning said: "Niandie, go to Fu's house, find Fu Huanghe, and ask him for help if you have something."
Niandie has been with Yan Ning for a long time. From Yan Ning's question just now, Niandie also guessed something. Niandie said: "Miss, you suspect that Mr. Fu is not in Guiyang City?"
"Well, but it doesn't matter much to us whether he is there or not. If he is not here, we won't have anyone to invite. You go and have a look to see if he is here."
Niandie nodded, and Yan Ning collected the letter and handed it to her. If Fu Huanghe came back, he would be able to help. It would be more convenient to bring the letter with him.
Niandie put the letter away and went to Fu's house.
It was still afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, the Fu family was on North Street, and everyone in high positions lived on North Street. Niandie took a carriage there and arrived soon.
Unfortunately, when she knocked on the door of Fu's house, she was told that Fu Huanghe was not here and that she should come back in two days.
Niandie thought, the young lady is really good at predicting things, Master Fu is really not in Guiyang City.
Niandie took the letter back and told Yan Ning about it.
Yan Ning threw the letter into the stove and burned it. She patted her clothes and stood up: "Since no one can use it, let's go to the palace ourselves."
The palace is no different from other places. If it is outside, anyone can be sent to deliver the message. But the palace is not accessible to anyone who wants to. Not many people Yan Ning knows can enter and leave the palace freely.
She has legs and feet, and is qualified to enter and exit the palace. She is not even fifteen yet, so she can come out after entering, so she won't bother others.
Niandie immediately went to get a cloak and wrapped Yan Ning up. Since she didn't know when she would be back, Yan Ning told Yan Lang to avoid him being worried when he found out that she was missing.
Yan Ning said: "I should be back before dinner. If I don't make it back in time, you don't have to wait for me and have dinner with Mama Li and the others first."
Yan Lang hummed, "I understand." He added, "Actually, it's okay if you don't go into the palace to get those things. I still have a lot of money on hand, which should be enough."
"It won't be enough when you enter school. The main reason is that the fourth sister will enter the palace after the Lantern Festival. Then she will live in the palace. It will be very troublesome to do many things. She frequently sends money out and is worried about being missed by thieves. But
You can't put all your belongings in the house for fear of being stolen by thieves. I'll put half of it here with you and leave the other half in the palace, which is the most appropriate thing."
"Then why didn't you put half of it in the house first?"
"I……"
Yan Ning touched her head, and she really didn't know what she was thinking at that time. She could only smile bitterly and said: "I was probably blinded by so many gold and silver jewelry."
"..."
I've heard of flash blinding my eyes, but this is the first time I've heard of flash blinding my brain.
Yan Lang said helplessly: "Go ahead. Fourth sister can discuss it with me before making a decision next time."
The implication is, don't be arbitrary. The consequences of being arbitrary may be the same as today, and you will have to make amends.
Yan Ning's forehead twitched and she nodded: "Okay, I will definitely discuss it with you next time if I have something to do."
Yan Ning took Nian Die and took a carriage to the palace.
The carriage couldn't get in, so Yan Ning had to get off the carriage and walk all the way into the palace.
When he wasn't going to court these days, Qi Hengyuan didn't have to deal with the news. He usually either read books or studied the maps of the Nine Passes and Nine Cities, and even studied the combat characteristics of Uncle Jiang Wang and each of the main military princes in the Jiang Kingdom.
The prince is always at your side.
When the eunuch outside spread the rumor and Yan Mei asked to see her, Qi Hengyuan was stunned and wondered if the eunuch was joking.
The prince also felt incredible and said to the stunned king: "Your Majesty, please go out and take a look."
Qi Hengyuan came to his senses, said nothing, and just nodded.
When Eunuch Wang walked out of the gate of Yuyang Palace, he actually saw Yan Ning outside the gate. He was really shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Mr. Yan."
Yan Ning smiled and asked: "Eunuch, is your Majesty inside?"
"Yes, I will lead Yan Mei in."
"No need for communication?"
"..."
The prince turned around and ran to the palace to report to the king.
Qi Hengyuan sat gracefully in his chair and glanced towards the door: "Did Yan Ning really enter the palace?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the person standing outside the door is indeed a Yanmei. She should have something urgent to talk to Your Majesty."
Qi Hengyuan's cold face suddenly darkened. He thought about how after the victory at Sanyuan Pass, he, Chen Dongyan and Yan Ning returned to Beijing from Sanyuan Pass, and Yan Ning suddenly asked him and Chen Dongyan to transfer to Changting Pass.
She was also very eager that day, and her request was surprising.
And now, when she entered the palace unexpectedly, did she see another change?
Qi Hengyuan said in a steady voice: "Let her come in."
Eunuch Wang responded yes and immediately went out to bring Yan Ning in.
When Yan Ning saw the king, she was about to kneel down and bow down. Qi Hengyuan spoke first: "Come to me."
Yan Ning looked slightly stunned, but she still followed the instructions and walked to the king.
After standing still, the king asked her: "Did anything big happen when you entered the palace at this time?"
He looked at her with his deep and quiet eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on over there in Jiang Guo?"
Yan Ning suddenly came back to her senses. Looking at the king's handsome yet emotional face, she realized that the king had misunderstood.
Ah, this is really a big misunderstanding.
Yan Ning immediately said: "It's okay, nothing happened. Your Majesty, there is no need to be so nervous."
"If you have nothing to do, why did you come to the palace at this time?"
I said in my heart, why am I so nervous?
Even if there is any change in Jiang State, Qi State has already prepared a response.
And, isn’t there you too?
Qi Hengyuan is confident that in the fourth battle, whether Jiang Guo initiates it or Qi Guo initiates it, the final victor will definitely be Qi Guo.
But if Jiang Guo made any changes at this time, he would be more or less surprised.
Yan Ning was a little hesitant. She originally entered the palace and told the king that she would take half of the gold, silver, jewelry and silks and satins. Anyway, the two boxes of things were rewarded to her. She could take as much as she wanted.
To some extent, this is her right and her freedom.
However, King Jing had such a misunderstanding and seemed to have revealed his purpose, which seemed...
Yan Ning whispered: "I'm here to get something."
The king was puzzled and didn't understand for a moment, so he looked at her with confusion.
Yan Ning's voice became softer and softer: "Just...the two boxes of rewards..."
Qi Hengyuan finally heard the key point and understood why she suddenly entered the palace.
I can’t describe my mood at that time, it was a bit ridiculous.
He thought that she entered the palace because something happened in Jiang Guo, but he didn't expect that she actually came to the palace because of...
Qi Hengyuan felt funny for the first time. He stood up and said, "Come with me."
Qi Hengyuan brought Yan Ning to a side hall, where the two big boxes were placed.
"Because Yan Mei hasn't returned to the palace yet, I have put these two boxes here. Do you want to take these two boxes out again?"
Yan Ning shook her head: "No, I will take half of the things out. Yan Lang is about to start school, and there is a coachman and a gardener in the house. There will definitely be a lot of money in the future. I will take half of the things and give them to Yan Lang.
When you want to use it, take it and use it, and put the other half in the palace for future use."
Qi Hengyuan didn't say much. These things were given to Yan Ning, and they belong to Yan Ning. She is free to deal with them how she wants.
Qi Hengyuan said: "Take half of it out, it's not a lot. Did you come by carriage?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the carriage is outside the palace gate."
Qi Hengyuan turned his head, glanced out the door, and suddenly said: "It's almost time for dinner."
"..."
So she had to hurry up so that she could have dinner with Yan Lang!
But Yan Ning could also hear the meaning of His Majesty Qi's words.
Yan Ning wanted to pretend not to understand, but when she looked up at the king who was standing there, obviously arrogant, yet seemingly alone, she felt distressed. She said, "Your Majesty, are you staying to have dinner with me?
"
"Don't you need to go back to accompany Yan Lang?"
"I will go back after dinner. I told Yan Lang when I came here. If I can't make it back, I will let him eat first."
Qi Hengyuan was extremely happy, and his cold face was covered with a layer of indescribable tenderness.
He never celebrates the New Year in the palace because he doesn't like the palace being too deserted.
When the father, the emperor, and the empress were still there, of course he spent the New Year in the palace. Later, the father, the emperor, and the empress died in the war, and the emperor's brother succeeded to the throne. At that time, there were also the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife in the palace. As long as there were relatives, this was the place.
At home, he also celebrated the New Year in the palace.
But later, they all left. This huge harem was no longer a home for him, but a cold and numb palace. He wanted to avenge his parents and brothers in this palace. The ministers in the front palace were ministers, and the ministers in the backyard were ministers.
His concubines are concubines, they all appear to be his, but they are not his family.
Who is his real family? Uncle Wang or Sister-in-law?
Of course they are, but they're not quite.
People who can truly become his family will feel happy if they know him, understand him, and let him do nothing but just stay together.
Never before has such a person appeared.
now……
Qi Hengyuan looked at Yan Ning and said nothing. He only stretched out his hand, clasped Yan Ning's hand in his palm, and pulled her back to the main hall of Yuyang Palace.
Qi Hengyuan no longer went to the desk. He sat on a warm couch, held Yan Ning in his arms, and played with her soft fingers.
Yan Ning was very uneasy. She was such a smart girl. How could she not know that His Majesty Qi had some different feelings for her?
But she didn't know how sincere or exploitative such feelings were.
She hoped that it was very exploitative and not at all sincere.
But what if it happens to be the opposite?
Yan Ning frowned and looked at the most noble man in the world who was so close. She wanted to tell him that he couldn't like her or fall in love with her because she was not Yan Ning. She was married to Mu Hua and she killed him.
His royal brother was the culprit who killed so many soldiers of Qi State.
But she couldn't say it, and she didn't dare to say it.
Yan Ning felt sad in her heart, not for herself, but for this man. She suddenly leaned forward and nestled herself in Qi Hengyuan's arms. She stretched out her arms and hugged his neck.
Qi Hengyuan did not expect Yan Ning to make such a move, and his whole body froze instantly.
He was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and then slowly, bit by bit, lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms.
