"During the fourth watch, we were busy, so we got on our gums, and our gums became so in love with each other that we took off my clothes..."
On the Main Street outside the Ministry of Rites, the residence of Zhu Gaochi, the Crown Prince of Yan.
The whole street was dark except for the faint light coming from the concierge.
The night watchman was an old widower in his forties, with a chubby face and no beard. He was sitting happily on a chair, patting his knees with his hands and singing softly.
When he sings to the point where he can't help himself, his face is full of smiles, and he shakes his head and head, feeling completely satisfied. It seems that he is really in the story of the ditty, and he is that Haruo who knows how to play mandarin ducks.
Woof woof woof!
In the middle of the night, a few dogs barked occasionally from outside, and the shadows of lights stretched on the wall.
On the table were a plate of tofu fried to golden brown on both sides, a plate of broad beans, a plate of shredded radish mixed with vinegar, and half a bottle of warm rice wine.
Late at night, people are drinking and drinking in high spirits, and the widower sings songs and talks about his feelings. It is uncomfortable to live without a wife, and I can only indulge in lovesickness to relieve my sorrow!
Zhila!
The concierge took a sip of wine, slapped his hands in time, and made a mean sound.
"We were mouth to mouth and cheek to cheek. Brother Qing's tongue was touching mine..."
Bang bang bang! Suddenly there were several knocks on the door.
The location of this porter is not the main gate of Zhu Gaochi's mansion, but the side door at the back. The porters on duty are also the most loyal family members transferred from Prince Yan's Mansion.
So the concierge stood up quickly while cursing.
"Fuck, who is it? Come here at this fucking time, I was just about to start talking, and you got me! Beat me up!"
The concierge held up the light and walked to the door, "Who?"
"Me!" someone shouted outside.
"Do I fucking know who I am? Sign up to speak!" the concierge scolded.
"I, Wang Ning, would like to see His Highness the Crown Prince Yan!"
"Who?" The concierge was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly opened the door, "Hey, why are you here so late at night? Come in quickly!" He said, ducking and opening the door a crack.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ning, who was alone, walked in from outside and whispered, "Is the prince asleep?"
"It's already this hour and I'm probably asleep. Are you in a hurry or something?" It's strange that this concierge seems to be quite familiar with Wang Ning.
"Of course I have something to do, I'm sorry to bother you!" Wang Ning said, shaking his hands.
Then almost five silver dollars slipped directly into the porter's hand.
"Prince-in-law, you are... too polite. This is quite embarrassing! Should this little man deserve it?" The concierge chuckled, "Just wait, I'll call someone to tell you!"
With that said, he walked to the opposite door and shouted to the Foreign Affairs Office, "Second son, Second son, are you sleeping to death?"
"No! What's the matter?"
"Tell the prince that we have a distinguished guest!"
"Hey!" There was a pop from the other side, as if someone was getting out of bed, and then a black figure was seen, swishing towards the courtyard.
The reason why the concierge was polite to Wang Ning was not only because of his status as consort, but also for another reason. King Yan did not have many friends in the capital, or even none, but Wang Ning, the consort, was an exception.
In his early years, Wang Ning was ordered to go to the capital of Peking to train troops. He stayed in Peiping for two years and went out with the army of King Yan several times. Therefore, he had a close relationship with King Zhu Di of Yan.
As a loyal old man in Prince Yan's palace, who had served Zhu Di in his early years, the concierge naturally knew that this prince-in-law was a distinguished guest. He was also a rare figure that his master, Prince Yan Zhu Di, liked.
In fact, King Yan Zhu Di had been friends with him in his early years, and he had some different thoughts. Because Wang Ning's wife, Princess Huaiqing, was the daughter of the old man's favorite concubine Sun Guifei. In terms of doting alone, this imperial concubine had already become a concubine.
She was still above the current Concubine Guo Hui. Even Empress Ma was full of praise for Concubine Sun's character earlier.
Two of the four daughters were born, and the second daughter was the old man's eldest daughter, Princess Lin'an, who married into Li Shan's family.
"It's late at night and you didn't bring anyone with you?" The concierge asked Wang Ning to sit down and said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Wang Ning nodded slightly, obviously not wanting to say more.
~~
"hiss!"
Zhu Gaochi sat on the bed, with his head tilted back and his hands supporting the mattress, with a seemingly painful expression on his face.
There was no light in the room, but figures could be seen flickering.
Suck it, suck it...
"hiss!"
"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, the voice of Zhu Gaochi's personal eunuch came from the window outside.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Gaochi sat up straight, "Well...!"
"We have a visitor, my consort Wang Ning. I would like to see you!"
"Huh?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned and thought to himself, "Why is he here?"
He knew that his father had some contact with Princess Huaiqing's consort in the early years, but in the past two years, in order to avoid suspicion, especially after he arrived in the capital, he had not deliberately interacted with each other. Even if they met when they went to court, it was nothing more than that.
Nodding from afar.
Moreover, this relationship was actually deliberately ignored by Zhu Gaochi.
The one on the Dragon Throne is a petty person now. Although some things have passed, who can be sure that they have not been let go?
"What's he doing here? Isn't he looking for a doctor when he's not sick? I don't have much interaction with you either? Why are you here to see me?"
For a moment, Zhu Gaochi was in trouble. He was so smart that he looked like a monkey even if his hair stuck to his hair.
This mansion was given by the emperor. Among the huge population in the mansion, there must be an informant from the Qianqing Palace, and there is more than one person who can't keep it intact.
If Zhu Gaochi had seen him, he would probably have sent the note to Qianqing Palace at dawn.
But if you don't see him, you still have to send a small note.
If we meet, there is still room for disagreement. The one from Qianqing Palace is quite generous on the surface.
If he deliberately missed it, the man on the dragon throne would definitely say: Oh, you two have something to hide, and you don’t even dare to meet face to face! You didn’t meet that day, did you find a place where no one was around to murmur afterward?
"Hiss!" Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi frowned deeply and waved his hand, "Front yard, side hall!"
~
"Your Majesty Wang Ning..."
"Sixth uncle, please be gentle!" Zhu Gaochi smiled and raised his hand to prevent Wang Ning from saluting, "What do you want from me at this late hour?"
"Your Highness!"
Unexpectedly, in the next second, under Zhu Gaochi's shocked eyes, Wang Ning knelt down straight and kowtowed, "Your Highness, out of consideration for the former official and King Yan, save the official's life!"
Zhu Gaochi was startled and jumped away with a bit of solemnity on his face, "Wang Prince Consort, what do you mean?"
"I know this is very presumptuous, but after much thought tonight, you are the only one who can save me!" Wang Ning kowtowed again, and suddenly burst into tears when he raised his head, "Xiaoguan was confused for a moment.
If you fall into the villain's scheme, you will be ruined and your reputation will be ruined right before your eyes."
"Now, there is no one else but you who can help me..."
Zhu Gaochi took a few steps back and said, "Look at what you said, where can I help you?"
"You are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you are also the counselor of the South Study Room, Minister Wang. You are deeply loved by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. You are the only one who can save me!" Wang Ning cried loudly.
I save you! Who the hell save me!
Don't say I don't know what you committed, even if I knew I wouldn't care!
The flood in Huaibei saved me for the time being, otherwise I would have to do all the work of checking the fields and military households, and the whole world would be scolding me. I couldn't let go for two days, but you, a person with evil intentions, came to my door to cause trouble for me?
Zhu Gaochi didn't know what Wang Ning had committed, was not interested, and didn't want to know.
He now regrets so much that he let Wang Ning in.
This Wang Ning is also stupid. He comes to the door with such a big fanfare. Does he think others are blind?
Immediately, he stepped aside with a bluffing face and called to others, "Come, let's see the guests off!"
"Your Highness!" Suddenly, Wang Ning grabbed Zhu Gaochi's trousers.
"Hey, let go!" Zhu Gaochi quickly grabbed it.
"Don't you miss your old friendship at all? When you were promoted to official position, you helped King Yan a lot, expanding the army in Peking..."
