Volume 1 The Noise Chapter 23 If You Were a Man

"Slave maid...... The slave didn't see anything! The maid was panicked by his eyes, her whole body trembled with fear, and as soon as her legs were weak, she knelt down and begged for mercy again and again, "Niangniang spare her life!" Lord Ning Xiang spares his life! Slaves, slaves and maids will never say it! ”

"You just dropped two teacups, why do you think this official will kill you?" Ning Zhong smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Zhao Tianyuan didn't speak, and took his hand in a little panic.

Ning Zhong immediately held her, but he didn't look at her, he only smiled and whispered to the maid, "Clean up the ground and go out." ”

"Lord Ning Xiang......" The maid raised her head in response, met his gentle and smiling face, but her heart was inexplicably cold, and she trembled to pick up the porcelain pieces that the tea cup was broken on the ground, but her fingers were cut coldly, "Ah......"

"Fei, you take her out." Ning Zhong didn't want to waste time with her, so he shouted directly from the window, "Go and deal with it, lest others see the wound on her hand and say that the concubine has mistreated the people below." ”

"Yes." He looked at the maid with a dazed and bewildered face, quickly collected the wreckage on the ground with his hands and feet, and pulled the maid and walked out.

The maids in the palace have all been trained in the palace since childhood, except for the attendants in the palace, He has never been in contact with real men, and at this time, he pulled his arm like this, and his face turned red in an instant.

"You're blushing." Fei Fei glanced at her and smiled a little meaninglessly, "It's pretty cute." ”

"Big ...... My lord......" The maid's face turned even redder, and her strength to subconsciously break free from him was much less.

"It's really cute......" Fei Fei smiled softly, and her good-looking face made the maid lose the ability to think in her mind, and she didn't notice what he said next.

"It's a little reluctant to start...... But it's only a little bit ......."

"Won't this be discovered?" Zhao Tianyuan watched Fei pull the maid out, and seemed a little unbearable. "She's been with me for a few years, and she's usually quite ......"

"These are extraordinary times, and we should focus on the overall situation, and we can't afford to make any mistakes." Ning Zhong sighed, "I know that your nature is kind and unbearable, so you can rest assured that I will do these things." ”

Zhao Tianyuan frowned and was silent.

"You have to think about it, if because of your kindness at this moment, we have lost our minds for so many years - is it worth it?" Ning Zhong comforted her with gentle words, but there was a bit of a sense of persuasion, "He sent someone to investigate before, which shows that he is suspicious now...... If we don't succeed, we are likely to die without a place to bury. ”

Zhao Tianyuan: "......"

"You're nowhere near as good as your eldest son." Speaking of Luo Xizheng, Ning Zhong smiled a little helplessly.

"Ah Zheng...... It's been in the Qingyun Palace for the past few days? Zhao Tianyuan was stunned, "Could it be that he-"

"Send this to the Yanding Mission." Luo Xizheng casually handed the freshly written letterhead to Yu An, "Tell him directly, just return to China and hand it over to his monarch." ”

"Yes." Yu'an understood, didn't ask much, respectfully took it and turned around to leave the hall.

"Wait." Luo Xizheng shouted to him, "Regarding the fact that the Yanding Mission is in a hurry to pick up Luo Tangjue, remember to go to the Canglan Hall to inform - you must find a reliable person." ”

It's the Canglan Hall again.

His Royal Highness seems to have been too attentive to the one in the Canglan Hall recently, and he is still the kind that does not hide it.

Although Yu An thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, and only responded in his mouth: "Yes." ”

"In a hurry to take my sister to Yanding?" Luo Liyao was originally embroidering the picture of a hundred birds in her hand, and when she heard this, she almost stuck the needle into her fingers, "How anxious?" ”

"According to the person from Qingyun Palace, it should be the day after tomorrow." Bang Hua was a little puzzled, "It stands to reason that this part of the invitation is only carried out in the six ceremonies of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person, even if the monarch of Sikong only sends an envoy to greet ...... I left the day after tomorrow, but I was too anxious, and now Concubine Yi Niangniang has been facing Yan Ding's gift list in the Internal Affairs Department - His Royal Highness didn't see it, the people from the Internal Affairs Department were busy for half a day just to move the gift into the palace, and they were very busy. ”

"Concubine Yi has a daughter under her sister's knees, and her marriage is naturally to be taken care of - it's just a pity." Luo Liyao looked at the picture of a hundred birds that had only been embroidered in her hand, and said regretfully, "I originally wanted to embroider it for my sister as a wedding gift, but I couldn't catch up." ”

Seeing this, Bang Hua was afraid that she would be sentimental again, so she hurriedly said: "The slave remembers that the rouge cloud silk sent by the Internal Affairs Department was used by His Royal Highness to embroider a picture of Qin Se and Ming, let's use it to restructure it, and make a bed of happy quilts for Princess Tang Jue, okay?" Carmine is festive, and the meaning is good. ”

"That's a good idea, let's take it out later." Luo Liyao put the red silk threads on the case together, "Did the person sent by Qingyun Hall say that why is the Yanding Mission in such a hurry?" ”

"That's not true, but there is one more thing today...... Bang Hua lowered his voice, "Tomorrow is the famous flower banquet in Mochizuki Tower, and this time the rose order was bought by Yan Dingren." ”

"How much did you pay for?"

"Ten thousand taels of gold." Bang Hua was a little speechless, "They bought such a rose order with such a large amount of money, and the slave maid always felt that something was wrong." ”

"Just leave it to Su Luoran to deal with it...... Anyway, with him, he won't lose. Luo Liyao smiled and didn't take it to heart, "Let Su Luoran try to get in touch with that person at tomorrow's famous flower banquet and probe their depths - although I don't know if they will have any other purpose in being in such a hurry, it's always right to be careful." ”

"Yes." Bang Hua responded, "Do you want to contact the branch building over there in Yanding?" The slave always felt that this Yanding person did not participate in his local famous flower banquet, but came to our Tianqi Qiushui City...... If there is any other reason, it must be that there is a plot in Tianqi. ”

"Or something they want, or information they want to know, only in Tianqi can get it." Luo Liyao gently curled up a strand of hair hanging from her ear, "You don't have to contact the people on Yan Ding's side, not to mention that Tianqi and Yan Ding are thousands of miles apart, and it must be too late to come back and forth, just because that person has not concealed his identity as a Yanding person, we know that we can't find out at all." ”

"Your Highness is right...... So what do we do? ”

"You don't have to take any action, since they came to the door to participate in the famous flower banquet, they will definitely tell the truth about their purpose." Luo Liyao looked at her thoughtful appearance, stretched out her hand and nodded her forehead, "Wait until tomorrow, we will naturally know." ”

"Yes, the slave will go and pass the word." Bang Hua gave her a fake look of disgust and said with a smile, "Your Highness thinks very carefully every time - the slave always feels that if His Highness is a man, the position of the crown prince must be His Highness." ”

"Silly girl." Luo Liyao patted her head lightly, "Don't think about these unrealistic things." ”

Banghua grinned, spun around and retreated.

"If I'm a man......" Luo Liyao looked at the picture of a hundred birds in her hand that had not yet been embroidered with a hundred birds, and folded it carefully and put it in the embroidery basket on the side of the table - on the good water-red satin, there was only a lone phoenix.

"Ahem-ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......" Luo Zhuangxi's face flushed sickly, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for the time being because of the cough.

Chu Zhaoying hurriedly put down the medicine bowl in his hand to help him calm down, but when he saw a few bright colors stained between his fingers, his eyes turned red in an instant: "Your Majesty ......"

"Ahem...... Empress...... cough-" Luo Zhuangxi watched the blood spit out from his hand being wiped away by Chu Zhaoying with a handkerchief, and seemed to smile lightly, "It's hard to cough, it's hard for you-cough, cough ......."

"The concubine is His Majesty's wife, and these are just the affairs of the concubine." Chu Zhaoying held his hand, changed the other side of the handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Today, the Yanding delegation has arrived, and I want to pick up Tang Jue the day after tomorrow - Your Majesty will get better soon...... This is the marriage of His Majesty's eldest daughter. At the end, she choked up a little, "Our youngest A-Yao has also grown up, and Your Majesty still has to watch her get married." ”

"Ah Jue and Ah Yao...... Ahem..... I may cough up this body...... It may already be ......" Luo Zhuangxi shook his head helplessly, "It's already not good...... These things ......"

"Your Majesty, don't say such things." Chu Zhaoying trembled and held his hand, "No matter what, the concubine will always accompany Your Majesty...... Always with you. ”

Even if she knows very well that the person in Luo Zhuangxi's heart has always been Zhao Tianyuan.

Luo Zhuangxi seemed to smile and said, "Ahem...... The day after tomorrow, Ah Jue will get married, you can preside over it - my body can't support it...... Ahem, ahemβ€”"

"Good. Your Majesty wants to take good care of your illness, and A-Yao will be in time next month-Your Majesty always said in the past, why don't children grow up yet......" Chu Zhaoying held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, "Now the youngest A-Yao is about to grow up, Your Majesty...... His Majesty also said that he would hold a grand wedding for the two children, Ah Yao and Meng Yan, so that Tianqi would circulate this good story a hundred years laterβ€”β€”"

"yes...... Ahem, ahemβ€”" Luo Zhuangxi coughed up another mouthful of blood, "but what I'm thinking about now is, why A-Yao...... Ahem、Why isn't she a prince.。 ”

"Your Majesty......" Chu Zhaoying was a little stunned, and held his hand harder, "It's the concubine who is not good-the concubine, who failed to teach Yinghua and Yuanjing to become talents." ”

"They are all very good kids...... Ahem - it's just that this throne is not suitable for them. Luo Zhuangxi spit out a sentence with difficulty, which made Chu Zhaoying even more worried.

"Your Majesty has made a decision, so you don't need to dwell on this......" Chu Zhaoying picked up the medicine bowl on the side, tested the temperature by herself, and then fed it to Luo Zhuang Xi, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and now Your Majesty's most important thing is to take care of your body." ”

Luo Zhuangxi swallowed a mouthful of bitter medicinal juice with her hand, a little surprised by her reaction: "My favorite candidate for the crown prince is neither Yinghua nor Yuanjing...... Ahem, you're not worried about being a mother? ”

Chu Zhaoying was lowering her head and stirring the medicinal juice in the bowl, when she heard this, she raised her head and met Luo Zhuang Xi with an inquiring look, although her face was pale due to illness, it was still shining, and she was cold.
