In the Jinling of the twelfth year of Kangbao, there seems to be a lot of things happening in this spring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

From the assassination of Chen Huang Mishan in mid-March, Ning Qin'er appeared, Concubine Miao Shu's status was shaken, Xu Changzhen was assassinated, and then the old case was turned over, to Xu Changzhen's death penalty, and the glorious and noble Xu family fell overnight, all this happened, and the time in the middle was only one and a half months.

Of course, the premise is that no one counts the appearance time of the woman named Su Jin.

But after all, this spring has passed, and when Xu Changzhen's case was officially closed, it was already the end of May.

The ending is not unexpected, because of Xu Miaoxin's identity, for the sake of royal face, Xu Changzhen finally went on the road in prison with a bottle of poisoned wine, Xu Miaoxin was in prison for a visit on the last day, and fell ill after returning to the palace, and the fetus in her womb was in danger of death. As soon as Xu Changzhen died, the position of the secretary of the military department was vacated, and Zuo Shilang, who was originally the highest in both ability and prestige, not only did not get promoted to the secretary of the military department as he wished, but his official rank was demoted by two levels, because he was promoted by Xu Changzhen. The new secretary of the military department is Zheng Yuzhong, the right attendant who is already in his old age, and most people think that it is time to resign and return to the field.

The acacia flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, Ning Qin'er seems to be in a good mood, and she is rarely ready to go to the garden for a walk, of course, the premise is that she may still be busy with political affairs in the Qianqing Palace, or maybe she went to the Guantao Palace to visit Xu Miaoxin, who has been sick for many days and has not improved at all, in short, Emperor Chen has not come over.

There are three large gardens in the palace, and the Imperial Garden is the largest in the entire palace, almost the sum of the Juxiang Garden on the west side and the Merlin Garden on the south side. In the middle of the Imperial Garden is a huge artificial shallow lake, on which a pavilion is built that is extremely luxurious and elegant, and the lake is full of lotus buds that are waiting to bloom at the beginning of the water, and the faint fragrance of lotus on the lake with the breeze has been faintly smelled.

This is the third time Ning Qin'er has come here, the first time is with Emperor Chen, and the second time is when she comes by herself, but she didn't go to the Huxin Pavilion, but just stood on the corridor in the distance for a while, because there were already people in the pavilion at that time, and she was now the most noble woman in the entire Da Chen, Empress Dowager Xian.

Empress Dowager Xian was not the queen of the first emperor, she was the most favored concubine of the first emperor in his later years.

However, there was such a rumor among the people many years ago, saying that the first emperor did not die of a serious illness in the end, but had another hidden secret, and it was related to Concubine Li. Of course, since it is called a rumor, it certainly cannot be true, at least, it is not on the surface.

Ning Qin'er has not seen Empress Dowager Xian once or twice, and Empress Dowager Xian has nothing special about her, it can be said that she treats her equally, even with Concubine Chen and Empress Gao, although she is already a woman of nearly fifty years old, but she does not look old, and she can still see what a beautiful woman she was when she was young, but Ning Qin'er didn't like her, which was different from her dislike for Xu Miaoxin, Empress Gao and other women in the harem. Because of her eyes, those eyes look like a pool of lake water, quiet and calm, and the more unfazed, but the more so, the more Ning Qin'er feels that her eyes are unfathomable and incomprehensible, and besides, in the incident eleven years ago, she is not one of the protagonists.

Ning Qin'er did not enter the pavilion in the center of the lake, but sat down on the stone railing on the stone bridge on the lake, half facing the lake sideways, her eyes slightly closed, and she let the warm breeze of early summer blow on her face, and only at this time could she put aside all her disguises for the time being, and be a real Jiang Ying'er for a while, even if it was only for a short while.

Then she heard a burst of laughter.

She opened her eyes and got up to look in the direction where the sound was coming from.

"Brother, kick here, kick over quickly!"

"Okay, if you can't catch it, I'll kick it!"

"Brother, do you look down on me? Look at me if I don't kick you can't even touch the ball! ”

"Really? Why don't you try it?"

"Hahaha, the ball is off, the ball is off!!"

"No, this doesn't count, it's a mistake, I've played it again!"

"If you don't beg my brother, my brother will teach you immediately, don't be reckless!"

"Who said I wouldn't, I don't want you to teach!"

........

........

Ning Qin'er quietly looked at the scene on the other side of the lake, and a shallow smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"It's nice to be carefree!"

Ning Qin'er's words were very nonsensical, but Wutong knew what she was referring to, "They are the children of King Rong, the prince of the country and the lord of the county." ”

After hearing Wutong's words, the smile on Ning Qin'er's face suddenly faded away, and after a while, Ning Qin'er asked, "How old are they?" ”

"The county lord of Xitong is not yet eleven years old, and the prince of Xiyan is already thirteen years old." Sycamore replied.

"I heard that King Rong is going back to Gyeonggi this year to report on his work, right?"

Wutong nodded, "It should be September this year, and according to the regulations, you can stay in Gyeonggi until the beginning of spring next year, and then you have to return to the border." ”

Ning Qin'er smiled faintly, "Let's go, we should go back too!" ”

Wutong didn't say anything, but the two had just turned around and walked a few steps, and before they could step down the curved bridge on the lake, they heard a noise from the direction of the two children.

Ning Qin'er paused and looked sideways, there seemed to be a few more people over there, but because of the location, the sight was almost completely blocked by the weeping willows by the lake, and she couldn't see the situation over there.

"Let's go and see!" Ning Qin'er frowned.

Wutong nodded, and went down the lake with Ning Qin'er and walked around the promenade along the lakeshore.

And then what you see is a snatch of the ball, to be exact, it's a foot bow.

Except for a few palace maids on the side who looked at each other at a loss, there were five people in total, and it could be said that there were five children, because they didn't look very old, and the oldest was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Four of them are twisted together, one is the prince of King Rong who is holding Zuju, and two are grabbing Zuju, Ning Qin'er has seen them, they are the daughters of Queen Gao, they are Zhong Yin, the eldest princess of Yiyu, and Zhong Shu, the third princess of Yi'an, and one has not seen it, I don't know if it is Princess Yihe of Cailing Palace or Princess Yiling of Bihexuan is also rushing anyway; There was another one standing dumbly on the periphery, the daughter of King Rong.

"Let it go! Why are you stealing our balls? It's clearly ours! Zhong Xiyan desperately protected the ashiju in his arms, and shouted angrily to the other three people who grabbed the ball.

Zhong Yin retorted, "What do you mean it's yours?" The food and clothing you eat and wear here are all given by my father and queen mother, and the father and queen mother are ours, so this ball is also ours, so why can't we take it? When you were studying with the old man Taifu, didn't he teach you what it meant to be a host and a guest and what to call a monarch and a minister? ”

"How can you say that, Master Taifu!"

"Are we wrong?" Zhong Shu said disdainfully.

"There is an old saying that 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die', this princess is just borrowing you a ball, this is not too much!"

Zhong Xitong on the side was so anxious that he cried, "Brother, you let it go, give it to them!" We don't want it. ”

"I won't let it go, this is ours, why should I put it?"

Zhong Xitong cried and stepped forward to pull his brother's shirt, "Brother, let it go!" We don't want it, we've had enough, let Sister Yin and Sister Shu take it to play. ”

"Xitong, don't cry, this is ours, I will never give it to them!"

Three fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, a thirteen-year-old boy, one foot bow, I don't know if these princesses are too delicate or the boys are too strong, and they don't even know whether they win or lose.

"Zhong Xiyan, let it go, if you don't let go of this princess, you will be called someone!" Zhong Yin said angrily, and then looked sideways at the trembling palace maids next to him, "You waste, don't you help this princess snatch things!" ”

"I am the prince of King Rong, which of you dares to touch me!"

"Can't you hear the orders of this princess!"

"Brother, you give it to them! Give it to them! ”

........

Ning Qin'er and Wutong stood at the exit of the corridor not far away, and did not walk over, but they did not leave either.

Until Zhong Yin said that he wanted to ask the palace maid next to him to help.

Ning Qin'er frowned, then walked over and said with a loud smile, "If you don't mind, let me judge who this ball should be given to?" ”

All the sounds and movements stopped abruptly, and their eyes were focused on Ning Qin'er at the same time, and the palace maids next to them were already sweating, and they were finally relieved.

Zhong Yin and Zhong Shu have all seen Ning Qin'er, and the other one is Princess Yiling of Bihexuan, who has never seen Ning Qin'er, but he can probably guess it.

"Yes!" Zhong Yin looked at Ning Qin'er, smiled in response, and then let go of his hand, and let the other two let go as well, as if he was absolutely confident that Ning Qin'er would give them the ball.

"Who are you?" Zhong Xiyan asked.

Ning Qin'er smiled lightly, "It's the one who can tell you what is fair." ”

Zhong Xiyan was silent for a while, chose to believe Ning Qin'er, handed the ball to Ning Qin'er, and said two words to her, "Fair." ”

Ning Qin'er smiled and nodded, and took the ball from Zhong Xiyan's hand.

Then, without hesitation, she turned around and handed the ball to Zhong Yin.

Zhong Xiyan's face turned pale in an instant, unbelievable.

Zhong Yin took the ball, looked at Ning Qin'er and said, "Thank you!" It really saved this princess a lot of trouble! This princess remembers you a favor! ”

The three of them looked at Zhong Xiyan, laughed contemptuously twice, turned around and left happily.

Zhong Xiyan looked at Ning Qin'er who suddenly intervened angrily, her eyes were almost murderous, "This, this is the fairness you gave us?!" ”

Ning Qin'er smiled and shook her head, "I didn't say I wanted to be fair to you!" ”

"What do you mean by that? You just said ......"

"What I just said is: I'm the one who can tell you what is fair, but I didn't say I'm going to give you fairness, am I?"

"Hypocritical woman!!" Zhong Xiyan looked at Ning Qin'er, snorted coldly, then took his sister's hand, turned around and left.

"His Royal Highness the Little Prince!" Ning Qin'er shouted, "The word fairness has always been something that only capable people can have. ”

Zhong Xiyan stopped and turned to look at Ning Qin'er, "Is this the reason why you are unfair to us?" ”

"Do you know why I gave them the ball? Because now you, you and your sister, where you are, your identity and status, you are destined not to get the justice you want! At least not now, if you get it now, then you will only lose more fairness in the future because of this! ”

"I don't understand!"

Ning Qin'er smiled and shook her head, "No, you understand!" You just don't want to understand, you want to use your own strength to change this, but unfortunately you don't know that in front of you, your little strength is as humble as dust and as small as an ant. ”

"That's what you're trying to tell me?"

"Yes, but not all, believe me, fairness will come, not too far away!" Ning Qin'er smiled and said, "I live in Nianxin Palace, if you have something, you can go to me, you can go to play if you have nothing to do, Princess Yixin is often there with me, I heard her mention you, your relationship seems to be pretty good, right?" ”

"Sister Ru often goes to your place to play?" Zhong Xitong said curiously.

Ning Qin'er leaned over and touched Zhong Xitong's hair, and said with a smile, "You can also come, I am the only one living there, the place is very big, there are delicious and fun things, and no one bullies you!" Do you want to come? ”

Zhong Xitong nodded immediately, shook Zhong Xiyan's arm and said happily, "Okay, good!" Brother, shall we go to this sister's place another day? ”

Zhong Xiyan's face was a little uncomfortable, nodded stiffly, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said, "You can't call me sister!" ”

"Huh? Why? Zhong Xitong didn't know why.

"To be called...... Call Uncle! ”

"Uncle...... Aunt? ”

"It turns out that His Royal Highness knows who I am?" Ning Qin'er asked with a smile.

"I don't know who you are, but I know who the master of the Nian Xin Palace is! The whole palace knows about it. ”

"But your sister doesn't know!" Ning Qin'er smiled lightly.

She ...... She doesn't count! ”

"Why doesn't she count?"

"Because she'....... She、Anyway, she can't count! ”
