In October, it was rainy and rainy. Donghe Eldest Princess's Mansion. Qingluan is alone in the courtyard sweeping the fallen leaves.

In the Broken Leaf Pavilion in the north of the court, a woman in white quietly flipped through the mountains of folds piled up on the table. On the round table of red sandalwood in front of the desk, a cup of tea that had already been cooled was placed.

She subconsciously picked up the cup and took a sip, only to realize that the water was already cold. Just as he was about to call Qingluan to come and make tea, he saw the little girl running quickly through the small building and the rockery corridor. "Princess, the Chongwenguan University Executioner Ru An Xing has arrived."

After thinking for a moment, Ning Yan said in a deep voice. "Please go to the drunken flower building and wait, I'll be there in a while."

Qingluan took the order. The woman got up, stretched, rubbed her eyes, and sighed. Only then did he slowly get up and walk towards the drunken flower building.

In the distance, I saw a woman in plain white clothes but graceful and noble, with thousands of manners, walking from under the flower stand. Xing Ru'an immediately put down the teacup and bowed: "The old minister has seen the eldest princess!" A hand dragged him steadily and smiled: "Lord Xing doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." Qingluan, look at the tea! ”

Ning Yan sat in the first place and said with a smile: "This new tribute to the dragon well before the rain, Lord Xing is still used to drinking?" ”

Xing Ru'an is a scholar of Chongwenguan who was personally promoted by the first emperor, and is deeply trusted, and he is also a minister of orphanage. When he was young, he was also a beautiful man who was famous in Kyoto, and he was suave. However, since marrying his wife, he has changed his past style and has become a well-known wife in Kyoto. In addition to reading, his only hobby is tea drinking. It is said that half of his monthly income is spent on buying tea, buying tea utensils, boiling tea and drinking tea, and he is an out-and-out tea addict.

The tea idiot got up and said, "In the end, it is new tea, mellow and sweet in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste." I don't know how much better than the old minister who drinks old tea on weekdays. ”

Ning Yan smiled and said, "That's it, Qingluan." When I left, I sent a jar of Longjing before the rain to Lord Xing to take back and taste it slowly. Xing Ru'an heard that he was grateful and said, "Thank you princess for the reward." However, the old minister's visit today is another important matter. ”

"This palace probably knows what Lord Xing is doing here." Ning Yan casually picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Is it for the emperor's homework recently?" ”

Xing Ru'an said worriedly: "Princess Mingcha, Your Majesty has been spending time having fun recently, and she has wasted a lot of her studies. The old minister admonished him many times, but His Majesty never took it to heart. If it's a peaceful and prosperous world, it doesn't hurt. But now the shape is severe, and the old minister really doesn't know what to do? But please teach the eldest princess. ”

Ning Yan shook the tea in the cup leisurely, sighed, and said, "Lord Xing, this palace knows that you are worried about the country and the people, and you are worried about my Donghe. However, in many cases, the number of lives is determined by heaven, and it is not ordinary manpower that can be changed. And what we can do is do our best to protect him, whether the building topples down or not. ”

After that, the words changed sharply: "Of course, before that, this palace still hopes that Lord Xing can be cautious and not give up easily." Even if it is a piece of rotten wood, as long as it is carved well, it may not become a pillar. She smiled at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were faint. But the smile didn't really catch the eye.

Xing Ru'an looked at the young woman and remembered the delicate white figure in the beacon fire outside the Wuji Hall six years ago. At that time, she was decisive in killing and had a cold temperament. Now that the court has been overturned over for many years, the aura has become more restrained and deep, as if all the edges and corners have been put away.

With a thin shoulder, she carried the weight of the entire Donghe, and there was only this strange woman through the ages. couldn't help sighing: "Old minister, listen to the eldest princess!" ”

Ning Yan smiled: "At present, the shape of the moon is unknown, and the palace will leave the palace to personally supervise the battle." The court and the emperor's palace were entrusted to Lord Xing together, presumably the lord would not let the palace down. ”

"The current situation in Donghe is already dangerous, with no unscrupulous generals and no strong soldiers. has to bother the eldest princess to go out in person, and the old minister is really ashamed and angry. Only by sending her body to Donghe, the first princess has no worries. Xing Ru'an got up excitedly and bowed to the end.

Ning Yan got up, walked down the steps and helped Xing Ru'an up with a smile: "Unscrupulous general, fortunately, there are still ministers like Lord Xing and Lord Wei." Hongu is indeed relieved a lot. ”

Xing Ru'an and Wei Yan were both lonely ministers of the first emperor, and they had also fought against Yu Jin for many years. Unlike Xing Ru'an, who is a standard nerd, Wei Yan is still quite skillful. This person is enthusiastic about power and scheming, and he is very thoughtful, and he is also deeply liked by the first emperor. However, Yu Jin gradually grew bigger with the strength of his sister Queen Rui, and he appointed himself the right minister and began to ****. The first emperor had no choice but to protect Wei Yan as the left minister, in a vain attempt to play a role in countervailing. However, Yu Jin didn't even pay attention to the emperor, let alone a left prime minister, so he was suppressed everywhere.

During the state funeral, Wei Yan's family was pressed by Yu Jinguan in the palace in the western suburbs. As soon as Ning Yan ascended the throne, she abolished the system of left and right ministers, respected Wei Yan as the prime minister, and personally went to the western suburbs to welcome Wei Yan back to the palace. Since then, Wei Yan has been dedicated to assisting Ning Yan.

It can be said that in six years, Donghe can have the current situation that is quite peaceful on the surface, and Wei Yan is really a great contribution.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――-――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It rained lightly for a few days, and by the time the sky cleared, it was already November.

On this day, the sky was as blue as a lake, with the occasional boat-shaped white cloud floating in the sky. The golden sun shines on the earth, making the already majestic and gorgeous Donghe Palace even more colorful.

After the court meeting, Ning Yan took Zheng Yu, who wanted to escape, back to Zhangqing Palace. Duan Ye took a group of little eunuchs to close the door tightly and hide far away. When she entered, the eldest princess had a bad face, and it seemed that a storm was indispensable.

"What did I say a few days ago? Did I tell you to read a good book? As the king of a country, he doesn't even know how many cities I have in Donghe? Ning Yan stood in front of the bookcase, and several books fell to the ground with a "snap". "I think you've really learned badly in the past few years."

A young man dressed in bright yellow stood in the huge palace with a pale face, silent.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself: "Do you know that you are fourteen years old this year?" Do you know what I was doing when I was fourteen? Back then, after I left Master, I wandered alone on the rivers and lakes. When I was fourteen years old, I had been to most of the castles not only in Tohwa, but even in Nanbu. And what are you doing? Gardening? Paint? What I want in Donghe is an emperor who can shoulder a thousand heavy burdens, not an idle painter! ”

"I asked Master Xing to give you a lecture, hoping that you can learn some truth about governing the world from his full stomach. He is the first person in my Donghe to learn, and no one can compare. She chuckled weakly, "Zheng Yu, I have promised Master's dying request, and I will support you to ascend the throne at the age of sixteen." If you don't grow any more, how can I explain to her? ”

Her face was not much better, pale without a trace of blood, and the glory of her whole body seemed to have lost its color in an instant. She sat down on the steps and buried her head in her arms.

Zheng Yu looked up at her, her glass-like eyes full of sorrow. He took a step, step by step, towards Ning Yan, towards the slender and pale man in the lofty and huge palace. That was his deepest attachment.

He said softly word by word: "Sister Huang, it's Yu'er who is not good." Yu'er promises to listen to Mr. Xing's words well, learn the principles of governing the country well, and will definitely be a good emperor? He squatted in front of the woman with his head buried, and gently leaned his head over, and his handsome and slightly immature face had a kind of confidence and perseverance that he had never felt before.

Hearing this, Ning Yan moved slightly, and slowly raised her head to look at the face that was close in front of her. habitually touched his head, but he was dodged by one side.

A familiar smile slowly appeared on her face: "So, then I'm relieved." In the same way, I will not check your homework today. Wait for me to come back from the Yuesanguan to test you. ”

"Yuesanguan? You're going to go in person? Zheng Yu's face changed suddenly.

Ning Yan nodded, got up, and dusted off her clothes.

"No, you are not allowed to go!" The boy stopped in front of her, looking excited.

Ning Yan didn't look at him, picked up a book that was still on the ground just now and handed it to him. "See for yourself!" After that, he called Duan Ye and asked him to come in to serve tea.

Grandpa Duan slowly pushed open the door and poked his head in. I saw that the emperor looked at the music with a stern expression, and the eldest princess ...... I just happened to be looking at him for a long time. immediately smiled on his face, and trotted all the way up with the tea to the case.

"Princess!"

Ning Yan took the teacup, squeezed the lid, blew again, and then took a sip slowly. glanced at him: "The temperature is just right, when did Grandpa Duan make the tea?" ”

Duan Ye said with a smile: "The slave has been waiting outside, and it is estimated that the princess and the emperor have chatted about the same, so they let Xiao Anzi go to the bubble." ”

Ning Yan smiled meaninglessly: "Grandpa Duan is really a delicate person. ”

"How dare a slave be a ......" As he was saying, Zheng Yu put down the fold heavily, making Duan Ye tremble.

Zheng Yu turned his head to look at Ning Yan: "Sister Huang, do you have to go?" ”

"You already have the answer in your heart, why are you asking me again?" Ning Yan said slowly, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and gradually cast her eyes on the vast sky outside the house.

"There is bound to be a war between Nanwu and Donghe, but not now. As far as I know, Nanwu has not been peaceful recently, and Emperor Xi has many heirs in his life, and there are not one or two who want this throne. Except for the deposed prince, the third prince, the ninth prince, and the twelfth prince are all people who have a very high demand to become princes. The one who led the troops this time was the Nine Princes, who were not very liked by Emperor Xi, probably because he wanted to exchange his military exploits in annexing Donghe for Emperor Xi's favor, and also added weight to him to become the crown prince. ”

"In other words, Nanwu is still too busy to take care of himself, if we help the Ninth Prince Xiao Rin ascend to the throne as a condition, we can exchange it for the elimination of the current battle of Yuesanguan." Zheng Yu pondered.

Ning Yan gave him an approving look. "That's right, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Just take what you need. Donghe's armed forces have always been weak, so it is just the right time to reorganize the army. ”

"That'...... What if Xiao Rin turns his face and denies his account after ascending the throne and attacks me Donghe again? ”

"There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends. A war between the East and the South is inevitable, what I need now is time, and if the war comes a moment later, I will have a better chance of winning. Ning Yan touched his head, but he avoided him again. So Yu'er, there's a lot more to learn. ”

The sunshine from the west slanted through the carved window lattices of the Zhangqing Hall fell in, revealing mottled shadows underground. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves outside the temple fell all over the sky, paving all the way, as if telling the fleeting time. Ning Yan slowly stood up and walked into the fallen leaves in the sky, the wide palace clothes wrapped around her thin and slender body, and there was an indescribable loneliness. Zheng Yu looked at the woman blankly, distracted.

Imperial sister, I used to think that as long as I didn't look so good, you would always be by my side. But I didn't expect it to make you so hard. In that case, let me protect you. In my own strength, keep you by my side.
