"Your Majesty, I will help you find everything you have lost. I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life, and I can't bring your royal brother back to life, but I can give you a stable world and let you rebuild your home and reorganize your family.
You have lost your father and mother, and your eldest brother, but you can still have wives, concubines, children, and your own happiness and joy."
Yan Ning said silently in her heart.
She just wanted to give this king some warmth at this time.
Although, maybe, maybe, probably, he didn't need her warmth, but if she did, she would feel better.
She did what she was supposed to do, but she didn't know how much of a shock she had given this arrogant king by actively throwing herself into his arms.
Qi Hengyuan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his deep and cold eyes. He stretched out his arms to hug Yan Ning.
At this moment, or rather, he has always been longing for someone who can give him real warmth.
He knew very well that as the king of a country, there were many women who were willing to give him such warmth, but he did not feel warm or happy from the bottom of his heart. That was because what they gave him was not actually what he wanted.
His heart has never experienced strong waves, and he has never truly felt excited or happy.
Now, the woman in his arms allowed him to taste everything.
Qi Hengyuan closed his eyes, wanting only to embrace this moment of warmth.
Yan Ning didn't let go of Qi Hengyuan either.
The two people hugged each other quietly, but neither of them had any lust.
Yan Ning had no such thoughts at all, while Qi Hengyuan did not want to let those emotions beyond the soul taint this woman.
Wang Gonggong consciously did not follow him. He stood outside the screen and could vaguely see the figures of two people hugging each other inside the screen. He thought to himself that it was a good thing he didn't go in, otherwise he would be too embarrassed.
Not long after, a palace maid came over to report that dinner was ready.
The prince coughed low and reported through the screen: "Your Majesty, Yan Meiren, the dinner is ready, will you go over now?"
Qi Hengyuan suddenly let go of Yan Ning. His ears were a little red, and his face was filled with an indescribable emotion. But Yan Ning didn't pay attention. As soon as she heard the word 'dinner', she immediately thought of it.
Wang Dazhuang was outside the palace gate. Her mind was elsewhere, so she didn't see anything unusual about the king.
"Your Majesty, I am my coachman..."
"I've asked someone to tell him to go back first, and then I'll send you back after dinner." He added: "And half of the contents in the two boxes."
Yan Ning felt relieved after hearing what the king said.
She couldn't let Wang Dazhuang wait for her outside the palace gate all the time, unable to eat and suffering from the cold. In such a cold weather, she would be the one in trouble if she got frozen!
Yan Ning nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qi Hengyuan took Yan Ning's hand and walked out of the screen, instructing Wang Gonggong to send someone to notify Wang Dazhuang.
After Wang Dazhuang received the message from the eunuch, he drove the carriage back to Yanzhai without any delay.
Yan Lang was still a little surprised when he saw Wang Dazhuang coming back alone and asked a few questions.
Wang Dazhuang didn't know much about the situation in the palace, so he simply said the words conveyed by the eunuch: "The lady will come back after dinner, and asked the young master that you don't have to wait for him."
Yan Lang thought to himself that it seemed that he was staying in the palace to accompany His Majesty. He didn't ask any more questions and said, "Then let's have a meal."
In the Yuyang Palace, Qi Hengyuan and Yan Ning were also having a meal. During the meal, Yan Ning mentioned Fu Huanghe.
Qi Hengyuan said calmly: "I asked him to go to the Six Passes and Six Cities to convey my will, and he will be back on the Lantern Festival."
He looked up at her again and asked, "Why did you go to Fu's house to find Fu Huanghe?"
Yan Ning said: "I originally wanted to ask him to help me enter the palace and help me get things."
Qi Hengyuan understood immediately and asked, "Are you familiar with him?"
Without waiting for Yan Ning to answer, Qi Hengyuan said again: "I thought that you were familiar with Chen Dongyan. If you wanted to ask for help, the first person you would think of would be him."
Yan Ning knew very well that the concubines in the harem should not get too close to the guards around the king. Forget about paying Huang He, he was a Jin Weijun, but Chen Dongyan was a palace guard, and she could not admit it, whether it was a palace guard or a golden guard.
She knows them well!
I wasn't very familiar with him originally.
Yan Ning said quickly: "I am not familiar with Mr. Chen, and have not made any friends in private."
"Yeah."
Qi Hengyuan raised his brows and looked at her quietly: "You are not familiar with him, but he will sell the house to you? And he also got Yan Lang such a good sword."
"..."
Your Majesty, are you jealous?
Why do I feel that your tone is a bit aggrieved?
She must be overthinking it.
Yan Ning blinked, her voice filled with surprise: "Your Majesty, are you talking about a house?"
The last time he said that her house was given to her by Chen Dongyan, she didn't think much about it, but now it seemed that there was something in his words.
Yan Ning came to his senses and asked, "The house I own originally belonged to Mr. Chen?"
Qi Hengyuan pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Yan Ning looked at him: "Your Majesty..."
"Eat, go back when you're full."
"..."
"You like that house very much."
What he said was an affirmative sentence, not a question to her.
Yan Ning thought for a while and nodded: "Well, that house is very close to the Holy Philosophy Academy, and the size is also very suitable. When I bought it, Mr. Chen said that the house belonged to his friend. I really didn't know that the house was actually
It belongs to Mr. Chen himself."
"If you knew, would you still buy it?"
"……meeting."
Why don't you buy it?
It was Chen Dongyan's own house, wouldn't she buy it?
What does this have to do with who owns it?
Whether it was Chen Dongyan's own or his friend's, she spent real money on it, and she didn't get it for free.
Chen Dongyan sold it cheaply, but she also gave her a thank-you gift.
And the sword, she also paid for it.
Yan Ning really didn't understand the meaning of His Majesty Qi's question, but if he asked it, she would naturally answer it.
Qi Hengyuan's face darkened, he didn't say anything, and he didn't look at her anymore. After finishing the meal, he left the table and ordered the prince to get a new box, and then asked Niandie to put the two boxes into the new box.
half of the stuff.
Yanning came over after eating, and Qi Hengyuan gave her the key to the new box.
Yan Ning took it with a smile and said many words of thanks.
Qi Hengyuan kept a straight face the whole time and ignored her.
Yan Ning curled her lips, thinking that she was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye she put on a bad face. As expected, she was so unpredictable and extremely difficult to serve.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait on him, which made Yan Ning a lot happier.
Yan Ning watched from the side. When the things were almost ready, Yan Ning locked the keyhole on the new box. After that, the palace people moved the new box to the palace, and Qi Hengyuan personally escorted Yan Ning out of the palace.
After arriving at Yan's house, Yu Chu didn't go in, and Qi Hengyuan sat there without moving.
Yan Ning got up and got off the banquet, went into the house and called Yan Lang and Wang Dazhuang to come out, moved the big box into the house, and placed it in Yan Lang's bedroom.
When Yan Lang and Wang Dazhuang carried the box into the house, Yan Ning said goodbye to the king: "Your Majesty, if you go back to rest earlier, I won't invite you in."
The surrounding area of Yuzhu was tightly closed, and the brocade curtains covering the windows did not move at all. Yan Ning could not see the expression or state of the man inside.
After Yan Ning finished saying that, she waited for a long time, but there was no sound from the people inside. She was about to say it a second time when a man's deep voice came from the car: "Wang Dehou, go back to the palace."
The prince responded with a yes and immediately drove away from the gate of Yan's house in his Yuhu.
After seeing the king off, Yan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, lifted up her skirt, turned around and entered the door.
Nian Die quickly followed.
They slept peacefully that night, and the next day was also calm. Yan Ning did not go out, but stayed in Yan Lang's room, sorting out the box of things, keeping accounts while sorting them out, and after registering them all, she put them in the book
It was handed over to Yan Lang so that Yan Lang could have a general understanding of the current economic situation, so that he could have an idea when he needed it in the future.
Yan Lang put away the account books and hid the big box under the cabinet. He had deep inner strength, and it was basically impossible for ordinary people to come to his bedroom and steal things.
Although Guo Xin lives with him, he trusts Guo Xin and will not steal anything here.
And with this account book, he can also know what is missing from the box, and he will not be confused.
Of course, except for Yan Ning, Yan Lang and Nian Die, no one else in the Yan residence knows what is contained in this big box.
Yanning took in a coachman and a gardener yesterday. Soon Chen Yurong learned about this. She glared at Caihuan and said, "How could it be such a coincidence? We just planned to mix it up, and we also selected a killer to mix it up."
Yan Zhai went to work as a coachman, and Yan Ning found the coachman in a blink of an eye. Does she not only understand the art of wind and cloud, but also see other people's inner thoughts? "
I have to say that Chen Yurong got it right.
Yan Ning can indeed see other people's inner thoughts, but Yan Ning has never used this ability, because it is too unnatural, and prying into other people's inner thoughts is a disrespectful act. She has never used it since she was born, and she has never used it.
Not planning to use it.
However, after the Mu family members died tragically and she was also poisoned to death in the Jiang Palace, she no longer stubbornly refused to use that ability. If a certain special moment came, she would use it.
Yan Ning didn't use his abilities this time. It could only be said that it was a coincidence that Chen Yurong had nowhere to carry out his evil plan.
Caihuan frowned and said, "Yan Mei people shouldn't be that capable. Wang Dazhuang was originally from the Ning family and was previously lent to Yan Mei people. Yesterday, the Ning family and a group of people went to Yan's house to pay New Year's greetings and gave Wang Dazhuang and his wife to Yan Mei.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence. It can only be said that we found it at the wrong time. Don’t worry, miss, if we don’t have this opportunity, there will be another opportunity. Yan Lang wants to stay in Guiyang City to study, and he will definitely not be able to leave in a short time.
We have plenty of time to kill him."
Chen Yurong felt pity, but he was not too angry.
She thought of something and said with a faint sneer: "Forget it if it didn't succeed this time. Anyway, it won't be long before Yan Ning will go on an expedition with His Majesty. By then, His Majesty will be away and Yan Ning won't be around. Let's see who can support Yan Lang at that time."
, it would be much easier to kill Yan Lang."
Caihuan nodded: "Young lady is right. When His Majesty goes out for battle, the entire Guiyang City will be yours. Then you can do whatever you want without any worries."
The next day was the Lantern Festival. Yan Ning took Yan Lang to Ning's house, Qi Hengyuan went to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess took Qi Hengyuan to Uncle Qi's home.
At Uncle Qi Wang's house, Qi Hengyuan met a strange child.
The child's sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes gave people a very different feeling. Qi Hengyuan, who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, could read an iron-clad aura from him, which could only be cultivated after being immersed in the military camp all year round.
A breath that comes out.
Qi Hengyuan asked Uncle Qi Wang: "Who is this child?"
Uncle Qi Wang said with a smile: "He is the adopted son adopted by Uncle Wang. His name is Qi Rongchu. Rong Chu, please meet your brother Wang soon."
Qi Rongchu bowed to Qi Hengyuan and said, "Rongchu, I have met Brother Wang. Brother Wang is well."
Uncle Qi Wang adopted an adopted son and adopted a bastard son. Now he has both a legitimate son and an adopted son. His face was glowing and he was very happy. He talked to Qi Hengyuan about Qi Rongchu enthusiastically.
"Rong Chu is 10 years old this year. He is the son of an unknown soldier who died on the border. It's the Chinese New Year. Uncle Wang thought of the soldiers who died fighting at the border and felt sad, so he sent someone to express condolences to their families. However, Uncle Wang unexpectedly got such a gift.
a child.
His father died at the border, his mother died of grief, and the grandfather who raised him died of illness. At a young age, he had nowhere to go, so he went to the recruit camp. However, he was too young at the time and the recruit camp did not accept him.
, he chopped firewood and sent it to the New Soldier Palace every day. After a long time, the fire head became very fond of him and brought him to the kitchen as an exception.
Although he did not officially enter the recruit camp, he lived in the recruit camp for four or five years, burning fires every day, but he practiced excellent kung fu. Uncle Wang felt that it was a pity to stay in the recruit camp with his talent.
Although his martial arts skills are good, his culture is not good. Uncle Wang doesn't want to bury such a talented person, so he takes him under his care and raises him. When he succeeds in his studies, he will definitely be of help to His Majesty."
Qi Hengyuan played with the cup in his hand, looked at Qi Rongchu, and asked him some questions.
They were all common questions, such as, who was his biological father, what was his name, which border crossing he died in, what was the name of his biological mother, were there any other relatives in the family, where was his hometown, etc.
Qi Rongchu answered every question. Qi Hengyuan didn't know whether it was true or false. When Chen Dongyan entered the palace, Qi Hengyuan asked Chen Dongyan to investigate the matter.
Uncle Qi Wang also introduced his adopted bastard to Qi Hengyuan. The eighteen-year-old boy looked a little decadent. Qi Hengyuan didn't like it very much, but he didn't show it. He only said a few words and then went to Qi Hengyuan.
Qi Rongchu went to speak.
Of course Qi Hengyuan liked Qi Rongchu more than the concubine who had become a regular boy. There was a sharp aura about this young man, which made Qi Hengyuan feel a little sympathetic to each other when he saw him when he was young.
When Uncle Qi saw that Qi Hengyuan liked Qi Rongchu, he smiled even more heartily. It seemed that the princess's idea was right. Adopting a useful adopted son was indeed much more useful than adopting a useless bastard, as long as the adopted son had a good mind and ability.
Strong, he can treat him like his own son.
After eating, Qi Hengyuan took Qi Rongchu with him and went out.
Uncle Qi Wang looked at the two people leaving and sighed: "It reminds me of Jianxiu when he was a child. When Jianxiu was a child, he often went out with His Majesty."
Princess Qi said: "Rong Chu will make up for what Jian Xiu has lost."
The Crown Princess sat there without speaking. She stretched out her hand to touch her belly and lowered her eyes.
Princess Qi turned to talk to the Crown Princess: "After school starts, put Rong Chu and Yan Lang together so that they can sit closer."
The Crown Princess nodded: "I know, sister, you have said it several times."
Yan Ning didn't know that Uncle Qi Wang had adopted an adopted son. It wasn't until she accidentally saw the king's figure in Wuyang River and saw the young man beside him that he looked strange and didn't recognize her. Then she asked Liu Baoluo next to her:
"Who is the young man next to Your Majesty?"
Liu Baoluo followed Yan Ning's gaze and saw the king's figure. He glanced at the young man next to him and whispered: "I heard from my grandfather that the prince has an adopted son who is ten years old. It looks like this.
The person following your Majesty should be the adopted son adopted by the prince."
"Adopted son?"
"Yes, it seems his name is Qi Rongchu."
Yan Ning and Liu Baoluo were on the flower boat. This boat was huge, comparable to the area of three flower boats. There were many people, and there were lanterns everywhere. It was like a ten-mile long river. There were water lion dancers on the water, and people dancing on the boat. On the ground
There were all kinds of weird and weird games on the Internet. It was really dazzling, and the figures were so blurry that in the blink of an eye, she lost sight of the king and the boy.
Yan Lang next to him suddenly said: "That young man should not be underestimated."
Yan Ning, Liu Baoluo, and Liu Yuchan all turned to look at him.
Yan Lang said: "That young man's martial arts is not weak."
Liu Baoluo said in surprise: "How could you know that his martial arts is not weak from such a distance?"
Yan Lang said: "I knew it."
Liu Yuchan asked: "How about comparing with you?"
Yan Lang glanced at Liu Yuchan and shook his head: "I don't know. I'll compete with him if I have a chance."
The Lantern Festival is even more lively than the New Year's Eve. Maybe it's because after the Lantern Festival, it's time to go back to work and go to school. There are so many people on this day, bustling and celebrating for the last time.
The most attractive activity on Wuyang River is civil and military fighting.
Yan Ning has watched several games. It is not she who wants to watch, but Yan Lang who wants to watch. Yan Lang likes to watch martial arts, but martial arts and martial arts are combined together, so they can only watch them all.
Yan Ning met Chen Dongyan and Chen Yurong, as well as Xie Jingli and Xie Dan. This was not surprising, after all, he had met them before.
What surprised Yan Ning the most was that she actually saw Fu Huanghe.
Next to Fu Huanghe was a woman, wearing a blue narrow-sleeved military uniform with a gorgeous appearance. She was talking to Fu Huanghe with her head lowered.
Fu Huanghe had a smile on his face and seemed to have a very good relationship with the woman.
Yan Ning went to look at Niandie beside her.
Two people were not far in front of them, walking over from the ground. They were probably going to participate in a civil and military fight. The two people were planning to get on the boat, and they were just about to get off the boat. After all, they had been playing for a while, and they planned to
Go somewhere else.
Niandie also saw Fu Huanghe and the woman, and felt a little strange in her heart, but not too much.
Nian Die, like Yan Ning, has never tasted love and is not very sensitive to this kind of thing. However, when Fu Huanghe raised his head and looked over, she hid behind Yan Ning.
When Fu Huanghe saw Yan Ning and his party, he was stunned for a moment. If he were in the palace, he would naturally have to salute, but outside, there is no need for these etiquettes. He could just say hello.
After saying hello, they left each other, but when passing by Niandie, he stopped and added unexpectedly: "I forgot to introduce you, this is my cousin Huang Jingqin, she is engaged. Her fiancé is the deputy marquis of Lanzhou Guan Wuhou
After Lanzhou Pass is taken back, she will go to Lanzhou Pass to marry her fiancé."
He stopped when he finished speaking, glanced at Nian Die, and strode onto the boat.
Thanks to Pink Butterfly Love, Aowu, Ayu, Daisy Flower Language, and Book Friends 2023...306 for the monthly tickets, okay.
Fu Huanghe is also my favorite male partner. He is cold on the outside but dissolute on the inside. This is just his nature, but he himself is not bad.
Every character, even a supporting character, has different qualities and characteristics. Don't think that if you don't like his character, he's not good.
The main male supporting characters in this book are not bothered.
I like novels that are single-minded and clean in body and mind, so whether it is the male protagonist or the male supporting character, I like to label them as single-minded and clean in body and mind. Although in ancient times, this was impossible, but novels are written about the ideals in my heart.
In ancient times, how to make yourself satisfied and happy was how to write.
