It took two pillars of incense to take it, and Xie Ning finally finished telling the cause and effect of King Xuan's design of Qin Feng. With a dry mouth, she poured tea and drank it herself, while secretly combing through the situation, a thought suddenly came to her heart - if she was not so impulsive in front of King Xuan, King An would not suffer this disaster because of protecting her.

After listening to Xie Ning's narration, Pei Xinghai looked out the window with a gloomy face, and after being silent for a long time, he retracted his gaze and said in a deep tone: "Why did His Royal Highness King An look for you to do this?" ”

He lowered his voice very softly, obviously asking a question, but it sounded more like talking to himself. Just as Xie Ning was thinking about it, Pei Xinghai already had an answer, "The bandits in Yandi are very chaotic, and with only three hundred troops, it is indeed impossible to suppress them. King An has been lying on the sickbed for a long time, and there is no one under him, so it is reasonable to ask you for help. ”

Xie Ning nodded and said, "Uncle Pei, according to what you see, should I meet the conditions of His Royal Highness King An?" ”

"Now that you've made up your mind to help, it's okay to make this deal. After all, King An is the prince, and with his help, the female official test will not be a problem for you. ”

Xie Ning touched his nose when he heard this, thinking of his half-baked level, he smiled helplessly.

didn't talk much about the topic of suppressing bandits, Pei Xinghai turned to Xie Ning and said, "Uncle Pei was sent to discuss peace with Miao Jiang earlier, and he didn't take care of you. Before entering Beijing, your father handed over the industrial seal letter of your Xie family in Beijing to me, this matter should be sooner rather than later, it happens that we have time today, let's go and check them one by one. ”

As soon as the word "good" was about to be exported, Xie Ning suddenly remembered the agreement with Qin Feng yesterday, so he shook his head and said: "I will go to King An's Mansion later, and after the training of the soldiers is decided, I will not be able to take care of these shops, I am afraid that I will not be able to make the trip for a while." ”

Pei Xinghai sighed and said: "At present, the Ministry of War is deliberating, my return date has not been decided, if this matter can be completed before returning to Shu, you can also be regarded as having a place to rely on in Beijing, and your father and Uncle Pei and I can worry less." ”

The Xie family's property in Beijing is not rich, but it is just three shops, two granges, and an old mansion, and they are all dowries from the Hou Mansion when Xie Ningniang got married. For so many years, because they were far away in Shudi, it was not clear that these properties were operating or leasing profits. Pei Xinghai wanted to take Xie Ning to check in person, but he was worried that those stewards would see that Xie Ning was young and a big bully.

Sensing Uncle Pei's thoughts, Xie Ning's heart warmed, smiled, and said to dispel his concerns, "Now that I have the support of two highnesses, you don't have to worry about me." ”

"That's right, but Uncle Pei is too worried."

Seeing Pei Xinghai showing a familiar smile, Xie Ning let go of his heart and told him what he had seen and heard after entering Beijing, and only left at noon. But she didn't know that just as she turned to leave, Pei Xinghai put away the smile on her face, and made a cold face, thoughtful.

However, it was said that after Xie Ning left the post house, he walked to King An's Mansion located on Baohua Street. After reporting his name, he was led to the Autumn Garden by a steward at the door.

"Although our prince is not in the mansion at the moment, he has already explained, and ordered us to invite you to sit in the study first."

Hearing this, Xie Ning nodded slightly, took the tea handed by the other party, did not look at the furnishings in Qin Feng's study, and sat honestly by the window, thinking about the specific plan for training.

I don't know how long later, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and the sound of speech came in immediately.

"Qin Xi, a despicable villain, actually used such a shady trick. And that Lord Xiao of my family—"

Qin Feng threw a cold look over, and Xiao Yan, who was walking beside him, stopped talking. Stepping over the threshold, as soon as he raised his head, he happened to meet Xie Ning's gaze, Xiao Yan pulled the corners of his mouth, and greeted her casually, "Sister Xie." ”

After getting along with Xiao Yan a few times, Xie Ning already had some understanding, and because he intuitively felt that he was acting heartily, he nodded with a smile and took the initiative to call: "Brother Xiao." ”

Hearing the change in her title, Xiao Yan grinned, picked up two brocade stools, and walked towards the window where Xie Ning was. Qin Feng frowned without a trace, and under Xiao Yan's urging, he walked over with a cold face.

Sensing Qin Feng's cold expression, Xie Ning only thought that he was worried about the suppression of bandits, so he planned to share his worries, "Your Highness, the little girl already has an idea about the training of soldiers. ”

As soon as Xie Ning spoke, Qin Feng's gaze shifted to the momentum, and when her words landed, he glanced at Xiao Yan lightly, "I have something to discuss with Miss Xie, you can go back first." ”

Touching Qin Feng's implicit coldness again, Xiao Yan, who didn't know why, put away the smile on his face, and said, "Didn't you make an appointment to go out together at night, I'll go outside and sit down." ”

"Whatever you want."

This scene fell into Xie Ning's eyes, but she mistakenly thought that King An didn't want to cause trouble, so that others knew the secret of this military training, and secretly wrote it down in her heart and didn't mention it.

After Xiao Yan closed the door and walked out, Qin Feng walked to the side and sat down, naturally picked up the teapot, refilled a cup of tea for Xie Ning, and said, "How did Miss Xie think about the transaction proposed yesterday?" ”

"The little girl is willing to make this deal with His Highness." Holding the warm tea cup in his hand, Xie Ning's heart was peaceful. In the final analysis, she and Qin Feng are both the same kind of people, and they don't want each other to suffer. Since the two phases are favorable, she might as well give it a try, even if it's to reassure him.

"Okay," Qin Feng raised a light smile, his heart moved, and he said lightly: "Since you and I are determined to cooperate, the queen does not need to be so restrained, and the title of His Royal Highness can be avoided." ”

Xie Ning was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Yes, Dian-" The voice froze, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

"I already have words, you call me Ziyue."

Seeing Xie Ning nodding, Qin Feng's smile was even stronger, and his handsome face, because of the hooked corners of his mouth, made people unable to take their eyes off, like an independent snow lotus on the top of the clouds and mountains, suddenly blooming, "In this way, Miss Xie's name is a little rusty, can I call you A-Ning?" ”

was hooked by a smile from the person next to him, but because he was attracted by the other party, he didn't miss what he said. After a while, Xie Ning suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Qin Feng with an amazing look in his eyes, and said astringently: "You, what do you call me?" ”

In Qin Feng's impression, Xie Ning rarely spoke in such a tone, and he had never had such eyes, his star-like apricot eyes flashed with a little bit of water, and his eyes full of waves were cast on Qin Feng, obviously emotional, but not for him.

"A-Ning." Ignoring the little bit of loss in his heart, Qin Feng stretched out his furrowed eyebrows, raised his head and said gently: "If you don't like it, I'll change your name." ”

Xie Ning shook his head, barely suppressing the moisture in his eyes, but he couldn't suppress the memories that kept churning in his mind, his throat choked, and he couldn't pronounce half a syllable.
