Chapter 2.10
After three days of newlywed leave, Ning Haoyan resumed his days of going to court, but his original official position Zongzheng Siqing was an idle position, and no one in the officialdom dared to directly argue with the emperor's beloved prince, so he only had a lot of time to go out to play and hang out on weekdays.
No wonder the mission wants him to become a talent, to put it mildly, this is completely a loser. Ren Jia shook his head, carefully inspected the food boxes sent by the maid, and made sure that they were full of dishes that Ning Haoyan didn't like, and then asked Huang Ying and the others to summon the servants to send the prepared food boxes to Zongzheng Temple.
After preparing these, she packed up herself, called everyone in the house to prepare the carriage, and went out to play on the street. The only advantage of getting married is that you have the right to go out at will, Ning Haoyan doesn't care about her so much, but everyone in the mansion can't make up their minds, especially Steward Wu's attitude towards the new princess is ambiguous now, and everyone in the mansion doesn't dare to take it big, but it is convenient for Ren Jiaxing.
Ning Haoyan is an idle post in Zongzheng Temple, Zongzheng Temple is an important place to manage the affairs of the royal family, and most of the big and small matters are handled by Zongzheng Shaoqing on weekdays, and he, the chief, still wanders outside more time. It's rare that a few days ago has been stuffy at home, finally able to go out, he was interested in coming to Zongzheng Temple, as soon as he came, those friends who had fun together on weekdays all came up, whether it was the little son of the Dali Temple Qing family or the big Si farmer's family, these people have warmly greeted his newlywed life.
When the prince got married, Ning Haoyan's face was not so much a wife as a widow, and his face was so bad that everyone dared not overstep it, and now seeing this eighth prince is a spring breeze, it seems that the newlywed is not as bad as rumored.
"The prince's face is full of spring, and he is really in good spirits, it seems that he is newly married to the princess." The one who spoke was the third child of Ning Haoyan's Fifth Emperor Uncle's family, with a hippie smile and a scoundrel face, he was really sorry for his identity.
Ning Haoyan was originally in a good mood, but when he heard this, he instantly remembered what the Jane girl in the family had done, and his face darkened directly, and Gao Zhixin of the Qing family of Dali Temple hurriedly pulled the person over and gave his stupid friend a few hard looks.
Seeing that Ning Haoyan's face was pale, everyone hurriedly changed the topic and said some interesting things in Yaojing City today to shift the focus, which made Ning Haoyan slowly ease his complexion.
At lunchtime, everyone went out to drink and have fun, and they saw the people of the palace waiting at the gate of Zongzheng Temple, and almost everyone carried a valuable food box for seven or eight people, and when they saw Ning Haoyan come out, they immediately saluted very respectfully, "The villain sees the prince." Because the princess was worried about the prince, she specially ordered the villain to send some meals to comfort the prince's hard work. There are also some meals prepared by the princess for other adults, if you don't mind, you can enjoy them with my lord. ”
Ning Haoyan instantly felt a heart attack, remembering the snacks and food he didn't like all kinds of snacks and food that he had sent before, he had a subtle premonition in his heart, originally he planned to leave directly, but after all, in front of so many people, he didn't want to make some rumors to make the emperor worried, so he had to wave his hand and signal these people to send the meal in.
"Since the princess has brought a meal, I won't drink for the time being today, and then we'll go to Minghu Lake to enjoy the scenery together in the evening." Since Ning Haoyan said so, everyone naturally didn't brush his face, and they all said that they followed him into the side hall of Zongzheng Temple specially used for rest.
After everyone sat down, the little guy opened everyone's food box one by one, and the fragrance was fragrant as soon as it was opened, the dishes in the food box were exquisite, the color and flavor were complete, it was really appetizing, even if they were the sons of the princely family, these people rarely saw such exciting dishes.
"No wonder it is said that Zhong Mingding's food family, the family of poetry and books, it seems that the princess has won the true inheritance of the Jian family, and it is rare to see such a heart-warming meal in the entire Yaojing." Wei Taihong of the Dasi farmer couldn't help but praise a few words, he loves exquisite food very much, and he is naturally easy to be impressed, although others also think that the dishes are in good condition and the index finger is moving, but they will not have such feelings.
"Lord Wang, it seems that you have married a baby." Satisfying his appetite, Wei Taihong couldn't help but tease Ning Haoyan.
"You're easy to be bought." Ning Haoyan snorted lightly, looked down at his food box, but it was okay not to look at it, but his face was almost distorted after reading it! Sure enough, his previous idea was right, this princess didn't know his preferences, but deliberately wanted to argue with him to attract his attention!
Look at the dishes in the food box that he hates, almost every dish has at least one food that he hates very much, he almost wants to flip the table every minute, the woman is scheming - force herself to be close to her, he just doesn't take the bait, see how long she plays this trick.
Everyone saw that Ning Haoyan's face was even more ugly than before, and he was dissatisfied with the delicious food while slandering his heart, this eighth prince was really too picky, the princess worked hard to prepare these exquisite foods, but the result made the prince even more unhappy, it seems that he really can't let go of the eldest girl of the Ran family who has been very close to the ninth prince recently.
After Ning Haoyan didn't know the taste and enjoyed a lunch with the same people, he was depressed and rode directly to Minghu to take people to Minghu.
Summer is approaching, the scenery on Ming Lake is very beautiful, invite a group of friends, bring some courtesans, enjoy the scenery of the lake, do some games, is undoubtedly an excellent fun.
Ren Jia turned around the well-known silver building and ticket number in Yaojing City before she could return home, and the purpose of her going out this time was to spend money, so she did not hesitate to sell 100,000 taels in the name of the eighth princess.
After she returned to the house, she saw Steward Wu watching the attendants carry things endlessly into the mansion with a painful face, and the wrinkles on the old face were almost folded.
"The villain sees the princess, the princess Da'an." Seeing Ren Jiashi Shi Ran coming, Wu Kangsheng hurriedly saluted, thinking that those white flowers and silver flowed out like water after a while, he was really distressed when he was in charge of the palace's money, and wanted to wait for the prince to come back or report again, the prince and the princess couldn't really let the palace property be lost.
"Steward Wu is polite," Ren Jia gently motioned for him to get up, ready to go back to the room to change clothes, when he was about to arrive at the main hall, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned around and commanded with a smile, "Steward Wu, this princess is going to Minghu Lake to swim in the lake at night, you will find someone to buy a painting boat later, and when this princess is cleaned up, she will go out." ”
Painting boats? Swimming in the lake? The new princess just spent 100,000 taels and now wants to buy a painting boat to go to the lake at night, the time is so tight and it costs a lot of money, Steward Wu suddenly became even more congested, thinking of the prince who didn't know where, and just wanted to look up to the sky and roar, this new princess is really unbearable Wow, prince, take care.
Ning Haoyan couldn't help but sneez, although summer is coming, but the night in late spring is indeed a little cold, he entered the cabin, saw the group of fox friends and dog friends who were playing and playing with courtesans, yawned lazily and continued to stand outside the cabin to look at the moon.
Ming Lake is the most beautiful lake around Yaojing, and there are many people who swim in the lake at night in such a spring breeze.
Ning Haoyan squinted at the painting boat that was about to approach, the painting boat was lit with lights, the pillars of the ship were carved and the phoenix was painted, and when he got closer, he realized why it was so familiar, it turned out to be Ning Haoye's boat, but when he saw the two people on the bow of the boat, his expression was much darker.
The woman was wearing a white dress embroidered with pink lotus, undoubtedly it was Ran Shirong who he put in his heart, that man, needless to say that it was his outstanding-looking ninth brother, who wanted to avoid it, but he felt unwilling, and thought about it, but the painting boat was already close in front of him, and now he couldn't avoid it.
"Brother Eight Emperors." Ning Haoye's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that it was him, he spoke directly, successfully attracting Ran Shirong's gaze.
Ning Haoyan was suddenly a little nervous, for fear that he would describe a wolf at this time, so he unconsciously straightened his shirt, but Ran Shirong looked at him quietly and then moved away, and continued to say something to Ning Haoye beside him, as if he didn't care about him at all, Ning Haoyan was bitter in his heart, and wanted to say something, but remembering the unhappy parting between the two before the wedding, he could only nod to Ning Haoye, "Ninth brother." ”
"The Eighth Emperor Brother is so interested, is it so night to go out to swim in the lake with the imperial sister-in-law?" Ning Haoye looked left and right a few times, but he didn't see the newlywed eighth princess.
"The princess is unwell and can't blow the wind, so I made an appointment with a friend to swim in the lake." Ning Haoyan casually made an excuse, anyway, the whole capital knew that the eldest lady of the Jian family had been weak since she was a child, although he had never seen where the woman looked a little sick.
"It's a pity like that, I thought I could be with my brother and sister-in-law." Ning Haoye sighed very regretfully, which provoked a faint feeling in the heart of Ran Shirong beside him, it was a pity that she couldn't see other women in front of her, and put her face somewhere.
The corner of his eyes swept to Ning Haoyan's stupid gaze looking at this side, and his heart felt much better, no matter how good this Jane's girl was, it was not that she couldn't catch Ning Haoyan's heart. Thinking of this, she bowed arrogantly to Ning Haoyan, but her face still maintained her high and cold appearance.
Ning Haoyan nodded in a complicated way, and then forced himself to focus on Ning Haoye.
"I didn't expect to meet the Nine Princes here, it's really an unexpected joy, why don't you get on the boat?" After the person who heard the movement in the cabin came out to see Ning Haoye, he immediately warmly invited, this Ninth Prince is now a strong candidate for succession, and it is better to leave a way back for the family.
"The Nine Princes are in a hurry this time, the new Kabuki from the music workshop is said to have just learned the dance from the side of the Sai, and it is really interesting, why don't you taste it together?" This is a keen eater, drinker and merry, and never leave to enjoy.
"Oh? Really funny? In this way, the king is bound to have a taste. Ning Haoye jumped onto Ning Haoyan's painting boat in a chic manner, and seeing that Ran Shirong on the opposite side was still hesitating, she smiled and said, "If Miss Ran doesn't want to be together, I will let the girl escort home." ”
Watching a courtesan dance? In front of yourself? Ran Shirong thought that the relationship between her and Ning Haoye was already a two-love-phase-pleasure, except that she didn't open the layer of window paper, the two of them were already tacit, but in front of her, Ning Haoye was going to find a courtesan, where would she be placed, not to mention that almost all the big men on this boat came to have fun, how could she go up as a woman, but if she wanted to leave like this, she was never reconciled, and after a few thoughts, she had to say, "The little girl is also quite interested in the side dance, but it is inconvenient to get on the boat, Why don't you let the courtesan dance on deck? ”
Ning Haoyan had expected Ran Shirong to get on the boat, but it was inconvenient to speak, but now seeing that Ran Shirong was unwilling to leave, she was naturally very happy, so she immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet on the deck and sent courtesans to come up and dance.
This is Ning Haoyan's painting boat, he naturally has the right to speak as the owner, and everyone doesn't care much about watching the dance on the deck, they all talk and laugh and sit down, but they are more interested in this rumored and ambiguous Ran Shirong with the two princes, seeing her calmly sitting on the opposite boat and drinking tea, I can't help but feel that this eldest girl of the Ran family has a really open style of behavior, and she doesn't even wear a veil in the face of so many foreign men, although her appearance is exquisite, but if she has such a sister/wife in her family, she has to lament the misfortune of the family.
If there is a woman in the family like this, it is really a family of women who can't have a good reputation.
