When Shu Heng returned home, Ning Xi had just had dinner, and when she heard that Shu Heng would be back soon, Ning Xi was stunned, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and went to the front yard, not wanting another more anxious person to arrive in the front yard earlier than her.

As soon as Shu Heng entered the mansion, Ouyang Ling hurriedly ran over, and said with a worried face: "Cousin, are you okay, have you been injured on this trip to Jiangbei?" ”

Shu Heng frowned, and then saw Ning Xi behind Ouyang Ling, revealing a smile, it seemed that the little girl still cared about him, so she directly crossed Ouyang Ling and walked in front of Ning Xi: "I'm back, have you waited for a long time?" ”

Ning Xi raised his eyebrows: "I just had dinner, and I came out for a walk by the way, but I didn't have to wait as anxious as your cousin." ”

Shu Heng rubbed Ning Xi's head, but when he didn't hear her words, he took her hand: "Go back to Evergreen Hall." ”

Ning Xi thought about it and didn't shake off Shu Heng's hand.

Ouyang Ling behind him stomped her feet and shouted aggrievedly: "Cousin, I've been waiting for you here for so long, but you haven't even said a word to me, won't you do this too much?" ”

Hearing this, Shu Heng's face turned cold, he stopped, and said, "Did I tell you to wait for me?" After speaking, he pulled Ning Xi back to the courtyard.

Ouyang Ling looked at the backs of the two, only jealousy and anger were left in her heart, and she didn't even know it when she bit her lip.

Back in the courtyard, Ning Xi rushed Shu Heng to take a bath with a disgusted face, Shu Heng sniffed his sleeves, obediently went to wash, and waited for Shu Heng to leave, Ning Xi raised the corners of his mouth. Shu Qing on the side saw it and quipped: "Madame is in a good mood today." ”

Ning Xi glanced at Shu Qing with disgust: "When am I in a bad mood?" ”

Shu Qing shook his head pretending to be vague: "Madame is in a good mood every day, but she is in a very good mood today." ”

Ning Xi scolded Shu Qing with a smile, and asked people to prepare some food, it is estimated that Shu Heng came back in a hurry, and he didn't have time to eat.

When Shu Heng came out of washing, he saw the hot chicken noodle soup on the table, and his facial lines couldn't help but soften. Ning Xi walked up to him, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, and said softly: "Eat quickly, I'll wipe your head." ”

Shu Heng laughed: "It's good to have a lady." ”

Ning Xi glared at Shu Heng, he was cheap and behaved.

However, Shu Heng didn't let Ning Xi wipe his hair, he took the handkerchief in Ning Xi's hand, rubbed his hair chaotically, and said, "Don't be busy, I have to enter the palace after changing into court clothes, and I don't need to eat for the time being." ”

Ning Xi frowned: "Even if you enter the palace, you are not in a hurry, I specially asked someone to prepare the chicken noodle soup for you." ”

Shu Heng squeezed Ning Xi's hand apologetically, then turned around and went into the house to change clothes. Ning Xi pulled his sleeves unhappily, raised his eyebrows, and asked someone to bring the creek over.

After Xiaoxi came over, Xu smelled Shu Heng's smell and was anxious to run to the inner room, but was stopped by Ning Xi, Ning Xi patted Xiaoxi's head, and said with a serious face: "I know that I am looking for your master, come with me." ”

Xiaoxi screamed aggrievedly, shrugged his tail, and obediently followed behind Ning Xi, and then Ning Xi picked up the chicken noodle soup on the table, squatted down, and handed it to Xiaoxi: "Your master doesn't appreciate his face, so he can only eat it for you." ”

Xiaoxi had been fed by the maid before, sniffed it with her nose, and didn't seem to have an appetite, she raised her head to look at Ning Xi, who glared at it: "Eat quickly, otherwise, don't think about eating meat in the future." ”

It seemed that he understood Ning Xi's words, Xiaoxi snorted aggrievedly twice, and then reluctantly ate it, and Ning Xi nodded with satisfaction.

Shu Heng saw this scene as soon as he came out, and couldn't help but shake his head, he was really a child's temper.

Seeing Shu Heng come out, Ning Xi stood up, Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, and he wanted to pounce on Shu Heng, but under Ning Xi's faint eyes, he lost his momentum and continued to eat noodles.

Shu Heng laughed and said, "What have you done to it, it's so afraid of you now." ”

Ning Xi shrugged his shoulders unmindingly and said: "Probably because the roasted sweet potato accidentally burned its hair, and then when I bathed it, I accidentally burned its paws, by the way, some time ago, it called in the middle of the night, and I threw it out of the yard, and by the way, I deducted its rations." Ning Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, "That's all." ”

The corners of Shu Heng's mouth twitched, he shouldn't have asked.

"Aren't you in a hurry to enter the palace? Not to go yet. Ning Xi looked at him.

Shu Hengen sighed, and then pinched Ning Xi's face: "If it's too late for a while, you can sleep first, don't wait for me." ”

Ning Xi slapped Shu Heng's hand away, and said with a look of disgust: "Hurry up, go quickly, who will wait for you." ”

Seeing that Ning Xi's mouth was wrong, Shu Heng laughed, afraid that Ning Xi would be annoyed and angry, so he hurriedly walked out.

Shu Heng entered the palace with King Zhou, and the emperor had already received the news that Shu Heng and King Zhou had returned to Beijing, and when he heard that Shu Heng and King Zhou were coming, he immediately asked people to invite them to the imperial study.

As soon as the two arrived at the imperial study, the emperor hurriedly asked about the affairs of Jiangbei, and the two told the emperor in detail, and when they heard that the local officials and mountain bandits colluded to kill for money, the emperor was angry and broke the pen in his hand, and he wanted to immediately execute those corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

When the two of them finished talking about things, it was naturally a reward for meritorious deeds, Shu Heng thought that the saint was doing things as a courtier's duty and declined the reward, so King Zhou was not so polite, and directly asked the emperor to point out a side concubine for him, and the candidate for the side concubine was Ouyang Ling.

Hearing Ouyang Ling's name, a trace of deep meaning flashed in the eyes of the emperor and Shu Heng. The emperor looked at his eldest son playfully and asked, "You already have a concubine and a concubine in your house, and there are many concubines, why do you suddenly want to marry a concubine?" ”

King Zhou said aggrievedly: "Erchen originally wanted to complete the lady picture before the summer, but he went to Jiangbei and put this matter on hold, and now he is back in Kyoto and it is almost autumn, so Erchen wants to marry someone home, and try to complete the lady picture before the autumn." ”

The emperor looked at King Zhou for a moment speechlessly, this kind □□of reason is placed in others, it must be false, but King Zhou, this is really not accurate, when did he do things according to common sense, and finally the emperor could only shake his head helplessly: "I will think about this matter again, you go back first." After speaking, he waved his hand at King Zhou.

After King Zhou left, the emperor returned to normalcy and asked, "Has King Zhou been in contact with anyone in Jiangbei?" ”

Shu Heng's eyes flashed, remembering this trip to Jiangbei, King Zhou had been by his side, except for the day he dealt with Jiangbei officials, but he later instructed Shu Qi to investigate, but he couldn't find out who King Zhou had been in contact with, the more this was the case, the more suspicious he became, thinking of this, Shu Heng honestly informed the emperor of this matter, and the emperor obviously also had concerns, frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked: "Aiqing, do you think you can allow King Zhou's marriage?" ”

If it was before, Shu Heng would definitely feel more at ease to put Ouyang Ling under his nose, but thinking that Ouyang Ling was making waves in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, which often made Ning Xi unhappy, he changed his mind, instead of putting her in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to provoke Ning Xi's diaphragm, it was better to marry her out, after all, she couldn't run away in the capital.

"Ouyang Ling is getting older, and there will be a day when she gets married, since King Zhou has taken a fancy to Ouyang Ling, the emperor might as well fulfill King Zhou, and the ministers will send more people to watch her, and there will be no chaos."

Hearing Shu Heng's words, the emperor stared at him for a long time, and finally laughed: "Do you think I don't know your little thoughts, aren't you afraid that Ouyang Ling will make my niece unhappy if she stays in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion for a long time?" ”

Shu Heng buried his head and didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence to the emperor's words, the emperor shook his head when he saw this, in fact, he wanted him to say that the way to not let people doubt Ouyang Ling's identity and not worry about Ouyang Ling's escape was to let Shu Heng marry her, but looking at Shu Heng's deep affection for Pingle, this plan is not feasible.

When Shu Heng returned to Evergreen Hall, Ning Xi had already fallen asleep, Shu Heng was afraid of waking Ning Xi, so he deliberately lightened his movements, but Ning Xi was always alert when he slept, and when he lay down, Ning Xi still woke up.

"You're back." Ning Xi said in a daze.

Seeing that he woke Ning Xi up, Shu Heng patted Ning Xi's head apologetically: "I'm sorry to wake you up, continue to sleep, there is good news waiting for you when you wake up tomorrow." ”

Ning Xi nodded, didn't listen to Shu Heng's words at all, but automatically rolled into Shu Heng's arms, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

Shu Heng helplessly looked at someone in his arms who he didn't know, and a certain part of himself that he was excited about, and sighed, how long will this kind of life pass, when will the person in his arms let go of his prejudices and become his real wife.

The next day, when Ning Xi woke up, Shu Heng had already gone to the morning court, and Ning Xi remembered what Shu Heng said last night, and couldn't help muttering: "Good news, what good news?" ”

Tanqing, who was combing her hair, heard Ning Xi talking to herself, and couldn't help asking, "What is Madam talking about?" ”

Ning Xi rubbed the bridge of his nose: "Last night, Shu Heng said that there was good news this morning, and I don't know what good news it is." ”

Hearing this, Tan Qing laughed, and while pulling Ning Xi's hair, he said: "Since Master Hou said that he would know the good news this morning, Madame will wait patiently, and she will always wait." ”

Ning Xi scratched his head, as if this was the reason, so he was full of joy and waited for the so-called good news, so when Ning Xi received the holy decree to marry Ouyang Ling to King Zhou as a side concubine, he couldn't help but scold Shu Heng for pit people, what kind of good news is this, Ouyang Ling married King Zhou as a side concubine, which is much better than marrying in the previous life! But on the other hand, Ouyang Ling is about to leave the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, and she will never have to see this nasty face again, which is indeed good news. (.)
