Early the next morning, Wan Yin took the portrait and went home again, Xiao Gardenia could speak, and had dealt with many eunuchs in the palace, and the relationship was not bad, Rong Yuxuan had always been favored, and Xiao Gardenia effortlessly asked Yuji's whereabouts in those two days.

"Back to Niangniang, Yuji left the palace on the fourth day of the seventh month, saying that there was an emergency at home."

"It's really as Niangniang deduced, now I'm waiting for Huanyin to come back." Bizhu said on the side.

At noon on the third day, Wan Yin finally returned to the palace and walked hesitantly in front of Tang Ningnan.

"What did your mother say?"

"Mother said, "This is the man."

"That's true." Tang Ningnan took a breath.

Wan Yin fell to her knees with a bang: "Niangniang, my brother has always been kind, and he has never seen Niangniang, so he will never frame Niangniang." ”

"You get up, this palace doesn't mean this, your brother must have been taken advantage of, and now it's the person who looks at the concubine." Tang Ningnan said.

"Niangniang, it's Concubine Hua again, it's too much for her to frame you again and again, let's tell the emperor to go up and arrest Yuji and torture him, he will definitely be able to spit out the truth." Bizhu said indignantly on the side.

"No, you forgot, what have we been holding out until now? The Sima family's power is so strong for a day, no matter what kind of situation Hua Concubine falls in, she has a chance to get up, and we can only endure it as much as we can before we can kill Hua Concubine with one blow. Tang Ningnan's tone was deep, and Bizhu rarely saw such a scheming expression appear on her master's face.

"The emperor has arrived." Outside the door, Su Mingdu's announcement sounded.

"Because you go down first, the palace will not tell the emperor about this, don't worry."

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."

"People are crammed into one room, what is new?" Feng Feihan sat straight on the seat next to Tang Ningnan.

"It's all trivial things in the palace, find someone to ask, I haven't taken care of it before, and now I'm a concubine, of course, I have to lead by example, why are you here today, didn't you approve it in Chaohui Hall at this time in the past?"

"I came here to tell you about going south to Penglai Island in August."

"Penglai Zhou? Why did the emperor suddenly think about going there? Tang Ningnan asked.

"The rebellion of the Mata army has been decided, and the four seas have been peaceful, and I want to visit the people and see what kind of life my subjects in Penglai live."

"The concubine has never been to Penglai, and she has only followed the emperor to Jizhou at the farthest." Tang Ningnan was thoughtful.

"Then the emperor is going south this time, who are you going to take with you?"

"You are naturally indispensable, in addition to you, you must also be accompanied by the imperial historian Zhao Ke, and the concubines and concubines of the palace have also stayed in the palace for a long time, and I plan to take the queen, concubines and concubines with me."

"The queen mother and Tang Xi's sister are also going, so the concubine will be accompanied by someone along the way." Tang Ningnan looked happy, "By the way, the emperor, the concubine remembers that she has to go to Penglai to pass through Ruchuan, so if you bring Yunshang and Kuang Yan, it will also be just right for Yunshang to meet Kuang Yan's parents." ”

"I didn't expect that, Su Mingju."

"The minions are here." You send someone to Luofu to ask if August Yunshang has time to go south with me.

"Yes, the minion will go."

"That's good." Hearing that the emperor asked Feng Yunshang to go too, Tang Ningnan blossomed, "Now the three of us can get together and play together." ”

Feng Feihan looked at Tang Ningnan's happy smile, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a curved arc.

In the past few days in the capital, it has rained for a long time, but the weather has not cooled down, and it is still hot and stuffy.

Seeing that the dark clouds were oppressing, as if it was going to rain again, Tang Ningnan ordered someone to take Chang Geng Qiming's nest in the small attic to the side hall, and he asked Xiao Gardenia to move a small table and a small recliner, sit under the porch, and eat dried fruits slowly.

The dried fruits were offered by the Tamabe, including walnuts, raisins, and even almonds, and Bizhu put the dried fruits on a plate divided into several portions, added some almonds and peanuts and melon seeds, and cut cantaloupe and watermelon and set them aside.

Si Liang didn't know where to run out of nowhere, jumped onto Tang Ningnan's lap, Tang Ningnan picked up the jerky from the table and fed it.

Seeing the joy of eating four taels, Tang Ningnan raised it above his head, "Four taels are so fat!" ”

Siliang seemed to understand Tang Ningnan's words, moved his beard, and struggled to jump off Tang Ningnan's hand.

Tang Ningnan looked at Siliang's back, which was more fat than before, touched his belly, as if he also had a small belly, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't talk about you, I'm fat in the palace." ”

Bizhu hid her face and chuckled on the side, and was reprimanded by Tang Ningnan: "What are you laughing at, eat more raisins, stick your mouth to see how you can laugh." ”

"Hahaha." Bizhu couldn't cover her laughter when she covered her mouth, "Niangniang, you are confused, how can raisins be sticky to your mouth, you have to use glutinous rice to stick to them." ”

"Glutinous rice?"

Tang Ningnan tilted his head, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Bizhu, do we have sweet potatoes, purple potatoes or anything like that in our kitchen?"

"A few days ago, Mo'er came back with some sweet potatoes and purple potatoes, what are you asking for?"

"Of course it's food?"

"Eh, aren't sweet potatoes and purple potatoes both used to steam rice? Can you still eat it directly? ”

"Not really." Tang Ningnan smiled ostentatiously.

With his own memory, he described it to Bizhu, which is the kind of purple potato that is boiled and pressed into a puree, mixed with glutinous rice flour, and then kneaded into a small ball that can be stored for several days.

When you want to eat, take it out and cook it, pour some milk tea, sprinkle with red beans and raisins or something.

Bizhu's hands are skillful, based on Tang Ningnan's oral narration alone, it was really made, and the purple sweet potato balls were small and lovely.

So I asked Bizhu to make milk tea, put it in the ice book, let it cool completely, add the boiled purple sweet potato balls, and then sprinkle the watermelon and cantaloupe cut by Bizhu, isn't this the ancient version of milk tea?

Sure enough, drinking iced milk tea in the summer, sitting in the yard and watching the rain is very pleasant.

Tang Ningnan held the porcelain bowl containing milk tea, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he watched a figure walk in from the door of Rong Yuxuan from a distance, the sky was very gloomy, and the rain was very heavy, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but Tang Ningnan knew that it was Feng Feihan at a glance

"Why did the emperor come here when it rained." Tang Ningnan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Feng Feihan saw this, sped up his pace and walked to the bottom of the corridor, and pressed Tang Ningnan back, and Su Mingju, who was behind him, couldn't keep up with the umbrella.

"Concubines see the emperor." Tang Ningnan bowed.

"It's raining outside, why sit here and follow me in." Feng Feihan said.

"Ning'er." Feng Feihan pulled Tang Ningnan to sit down in the room.

At this time, he suddenly opened his mouth to call Ning'er, and Tang Ningnan faintly noticed something strange in his heart.

"Your Majesty, are you here to tell me something?" Tang Ningnan stared at Feng Feihan's eyes and asked.

Feng Feihan moved his Adam's apple, took Tang Ningnan's hand, and said, "Ning'er, just now Miaojiang's spies came to report that the place where your mother and her clan lived was attacked by a sneak attack, and there were heavy casualties. ”

"How so? Your Majesty, didn't you say that the queen mother would not be harmed? ”

Tang Ningnan tightened his pupils, and the hand that was grabbed by Feng Feihan trembled.

"I'm sorry Ning'er. It was my misjudgment that I released the news that I was going south to Penglai Island early in the morning. ”

"How many people in the clan survived?" Tang Ningnan didn't listen carefully to what Feng Feihan said, she only cared about how many people were killed now.

"It's okay for your mother to be protected by others, but none of the thirteen men after the break were spared."

Tang Ningnan turned his head and closed his eyes tightly.

Although Feng Feihan said that he would protect them thoroughly, how could someone with a heart deliberately calculate and hide?

In the past few days, he has lived so leisurely, he actually forgot the lives of more than 30 people in Miao Jiang, and he didn't ask at all, although he really had no feelings for them, but when he thought of the thirteen young people in Miao Jiang, they may have died because of their own laxity, Tang Ningnan's heart was full of guilt.

"Ning'er, don't be too uncomfortable, it's not good for me, I will definitely send more people to protect those who escaped." Feng Feihan looked at Tang Ningnan's painful expression, and was a little panicked.

But now is not the time to feel guilty, Tang Ningnan opened his eyes, to find the root cause, to avoid such a thing from happening again is the key.

"Your Majesty, did you say that this happened not long after you said that you were going south to Penglai Continent?"

"Yes, it didn't take five days for it to happen."

"Since Tang Ningzhi and I tore our faces, the people of the concubine's mother clan have been equivalent to a bargaining chip, maintaining the relationship between Miao Jiang and Da Liang, and now they are openly attacking the concubine clan, it seems that they don't care about turning their faces with Da Liang anymore."

Tang Ningnan's sudden composure surprised Feng Feihan a little, and she felt that maybe it was Mifei's death that made her heart stronger, and she was able to push aside the duckweed and only grasp the key to the matter.

"I think so, too."

"Being able to know your movements so quickly proves that there are thieves among the emperor's close ministers, and the concubines think that they and Miao Jiang will rebel on this journey south to Penglai Continent."

Even if Feng Feihan thought of this in his heart, he didn't expect such an inference to come out of Tang Ningnan's mouth, in the past, he only thought that she was just a little clever and smarter than ordinary women.

But after getting along for a long time, Feng Feihan found that she was not only clever, but also able to understand the overall situation and have a long-term vision, these two points undoubtedly increased Tang Ningnan's weight in his heart, but what really fascinated Feng Feihan was Tang Ningnan's attitude towards life.

Every time I open the door of Rong Yuxuan, I can see her sitting in the attic with a smiling face holding a cat, and she can always find some new tricks to make his eyes shine.

made him feel that this harem was not only intrigued, but also Rong Yuxuan's side was bright.

Feng Feihan thought for a moment in his mind and said, "Then do you think that the move of going south to Penglai Continent still needs to continue?" ”
