2, the emperor's kindness, An Ning gladly accepted it

In an elegant room on the third floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence, the woman in white tasted the food very satisfied, her gestures were elegant, and her eyebrows were full of enjoyment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The man in black clothes on the info side was silent and careful to prepare the dishes for her, and the favor between his eyebrows was enough to get tired of death.

"It's been a year, and it's still a familiar delicacy. An Ning sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"Full?"

"Uh-huh. An Ning smiled and asked him, "How have you been this year?"

"It's fine. In fact, the days are like years, and the thoughts are overflowing, but he doesn't want to say it, with her temperament, he is afraid that he will feel guilty again, he doesn't want to do this.

But after eight years of getting along, she could guess some of his inner thoughts, and smiled lightly: "Ah Yan, I won't leave for so long in the future." ”

The man, on the surface, calm and unfazed, seemed uninterested in anything, but he knew that he had a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, especially with her.

"Good. He smiled easily when he heard this, and he was as clear as a young man.

After finishing the meal, An Ning went back to Prince Xiao's mansion, Prince Xiao and his party had been waiting in the main hall, and when he saw the white shadow slowly coming, Prince Xiao couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and strode forward to embrace the woman into his arms.

"Why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden?" An Ning moved her steps away from his embrace.

Prince Xiao stiffened, withdrew his hand helplessly, and said with a smile: "It's been a year since you left, and we're worried." ”

"I'm back now, and I don't care. ”

Looking at the obvious shallow detachment on the woman's face, Prince Xiao's heart was full of weakness: "Then you go and rest first, you must be tired after driving for so long." ”

An Ning bowed his head lightly, swept towards the group of women behind him who received his indifferent gaze and were obviously afraid, couldn't help but smile coldly, and pulled away.

A delicate woman in the crowd came out and said softly: "Sister is back now, Daddy can rest assured." ”

"Well, Ling'er, when An Ning is back, you have to learn more. Compared with Fang Cai's gentle concern, Prince Xiao's face was now much lighter.

"Yes. The emperor spirit responded, and when the crowd dispersed, a hideous color suddenly appeared on the well-behaved and quiet face. There are four young ladies in Prince Xiao's mansion, but in everyone's eyes, there is only that emperor Anning in their hearts! Isn't it just because she is a concubine, and because of what military exploits she has been awarded the position of county lord, what's the big deal? Sick and not a little polite, her father is always partial to her, and her imperial spirit is the best!

Back in Qingning Pavilion, Lan Hui was playing with flowers and plants in the garden, and when she saw her young lady coming back, she immediately greeted her: "Miss is back." ”

"Well, where did Qingzhen go?"

"Qing Zhe went to prepare hot water, and the young lady will take a good bath and rest. ”

An Ning nodded and returned to the room, a bucket of hot water had been prepared behind the screen, and with a light smile, he took off his clothes and immersed himself in the barrel, letting the hot water wrap himself, and sighed with satisfaction. Liang Jiu opened his eyes and whispered: "Fuliu." ”

"In. A clear voice sounded in the air, "Miss, do you want to report now?"

"Yes, say it. An Ning leaned against the edge of the barrel, her eyes indifferent.

"There were no major events in the year, and several princes had already begun to seize the throne, and some officials were ready to move as a result. The Fourth Prince, Huang Yao, and the Sixth Prince, joined forces, and the Ninth Emperor Prince Yi secretly began to win over officials, and there seemed to be some forces behind it. As for the Seventh Prince, Huang Yan, he has been waiting for the young lady to return, so he has no intention of taking the heir, so the emperor seems to be planning to make the Seventh Prince the crown prince. ”

Appointed Ayan as the crown prince...... That old emperor really had a good calculation. An Ning looked at the water and asked lightly: "Have you found out what forces are behind Wang Ziyi?"

“…… Fuliu is incompetent, and the forces behind it are very mysterious. ”

Even Fu Liu couldn't find out? An Ning's eyes sank and he asked, "What about the movement of the court?"

"The forces were divided into two, supporting the Four Princes and the Nine Princes respectively, with only a few Confucian scholars supporting the Seven Princes. ”

Coldly hooked the corners of his lips, Ah Yan had no intention of taking the throne, it can be said that he was extremely disgusted, so the old emperor wanted him to be the crown prince, so that he could deal with the rumors from the outside world without endangering his throne, killing two birds with one stone. As for those ministers, compared to the extremely ambitious and powerful Huang Yao and the unclear and far-sighted Huang Ziyi, Ah Yan's stay out of the matter and his inaction are not supported by officials.

"Will Mademoiselle react?"

"Well, I'm not going to push Ah Yan into the fire pit. An Ning said in disgust, it was a place where people eat people and didn't spit out bones, how could he force him to go to that kind of place? Except for his mother and brother, he was her most important relative.

"The Seventh Prince has always been secretly protected by someone, and the young lady can rest assured. ”

"Well, you've worked hard. ”

"Miss is serious, please rest first. Qingli's voice was mixed with worry and joy.

An Ning sank a little into the water and let out a long sigh of relief. From ancient times to the present, the throne has been coveted, for it, the monarch and the ministers are suspicious, and the brothers are not hesitant to kill each other, I don't know how many people died on that road. I was also worried when I left the capital a year ago, but I still couldn't imagine that just one year of kung fu people's hearts could be distorted to such a point, and it was really the strong who were respected. It turns out that a location full of danger, blood, and endless loneliness is still so popular.

Huang Anning, there are really not many people in this world who despise the throne, are indifferent to fame and fortune, and are not tempted by interests.

When An Ning woke up, the sky was already slightly bright, and he reached out and pressed his sore temples, he had slept for so long. As soon as I sat up, I saw Lan Hui push the door in, and I was a little surprised when I saw her: "Miss woke up." ”

An Ning glanced her up and down and asked, "But what's the matter?"

"Exactly, the emperor ordered the young lady to enter the palace, and the messenger is waiting in the main hall. Lan Hui said with a twisted eyebrow.

Now to enter the palace? It should still be the time of the early dynasty, what is the old emperor's idea? ”

At this time, in the Jinluan Palace, the emperor routinely listened to the reports of the ministers, and when everyone thought that they were going to retreat from the court, they saw the old emperor with a smile on his face and said: "All Aiqing are not busy withdrawing from the court, and they will come in peace." ”

Everyone's faces were different, it was the time of the early dynasty, and women were not allowed to enter, although it was the county lord of Qingning, who had outstanding military achievements and was not comparable to ordinary women, but ...... What does the emperor want to do? Huang Yan on the side has already lowered his eyes, staring at the emperor on the throne with no meaning, if that old emperor dares to play any tricks, he will definitely not spare him!

"The county lord of Qingning has arrived!" As soon as the word was heard, everyone looked at the door of the hall, and a white shadow came slowly, and little by little they came into view. It is still a white dress that is not stained with dust, it is still a gentle and indifferent aura, it is still beautiful and exquisite, it is still a stunning color without powder, and it is still a smiling, elegant and gentle appearance. I haven't seen it for a year, but this Qingning county lord has not changed at all, but it is more beautiful, and the peaceful and indifferent atmosphere is more and more breathtaking, which makes people feel at ease.

An Ning walked to the center of the hall and saluted the old emperor Yingying: "An Ning has seen the emperor." ”

"Flat. The old emperor said with a smile, "Anning, it's back." ”

An Ning frowned and smiled and only asked, "I don't know why the emperor summoned An Ning to come in the early dynasty?"

"You always have to come to the palace, and I plan to hold a banquet for you in the palace today. ”

There was an uproar in the hall, and An Ning was shocked, but he still returned the salute with his eyes: "Your Majesty, such a generous treatment, An Ning is very grateful, but ......"

"An Ning, you are a great hero of the imperial state, I just set up a banquet to congratulate you. The emperor waved his hand and smiled.

Everyone couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking, but everyone knew that this seemingly supreme favor was actually a dangerous sword, and if it was not handled well, there was a possibility of death at any time, and everyone looked at the woman who stood indifferently and wondered how she would deal with it.

Huang Yan also locked the woman tightly, the dark tide in his eyes was surging, the old emperor was really uneasy and kind, and he actually wanted to embarrass Ning Er with such a move...... If she wants to lift this Jinluan Palace, he will definitely support her!

But the woman in white suddenly smiled, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, her body like a willow in the wind was full of salutes, and her shallow and smiling voice slowly sounded: "The emperor is so gracious, An Ning gladly accepts it, thank you to my emperor!"

The county lord of Qingning actually responded like this?!

The woman stood lightly, her eyes were bright, she didn't seem to see any panic, she still smiled at the corners of her lips, and everyone couldn't help but sigh, this world is only afraid of such a Qingning county lord, this charm, that unparalleled elegance, there is no woman who can compare.
