Xu had more for dinner, Ning Zhao was a little supportive, so Jin Yuan took her to walk around the house, the high courtyard wall couldn't stop the cold wind, came out of the warm room, and drilled into the collar one by one.

Jin Yuan hugged the big coat on Ning Zhao's body, and wrapped the person tightly in his arms, and Ning Zhao felt better.

Jin Yuan's trip this time was not long, and Ning Zhao was busy again, so he felt that Jin Yuan came back in a blink of an eye, so he didn't realize that he missed it before, but Jin Yuan was different, the time was not long, but whenever he left Ning Zhao's side, he couldn't help but miss it.

Jin Yuan didn't know when he became like this...... So clingy?

Thinking about it, Jin Yuan laughed and took Ning Zhao into the pavilion, when they had nothing to do, they both liked to come here to sit.

In summer, you can enjoy the pond and the ice on the lake.

But it will not be long before winter, and the pond is barren, and there is really nothing to enjoy except the cold wind howling.

Fortunately, Uncle Liu knew that the two of them liked to eat here, so he drew a thick curtain around the pavilion and set up a soft collapse table, except that there was no warmth in the house, it was not bad.

"It's time for the two of them to come back, right?" Ning Zhao sat on the soft couch, leaned on Jin Yuan's arms, and asked.

Jin Yuan knew who the two people in her mouth were, and nodded: "At most, I will be able to go to Kyoto the day after tomorrow." ”

"But what's the news?" Ning Zhao was a little interested and asked, "Although I am in Kyoto, I have not heard much about this, so you can tell me about it." ”

Ning Zhao really wanted to know what happened to the two brothers Murong Cheng.

Since he will return to Kyoto immediately, it means that the matter of Zhigu Village has been dealt with, and a lot of things must have happened during this period, and Ning Zhaoquan should be happy.

"Quite a few." Jin Yuan smiled slightly, and then looked at Ning Zhao with a faint light.

Raising his hand to caress Ning Zhao's slightly cool cheek, Jin Yuan hugged Ning Zhao again, making Ning Zhao warmer, and then said unhurriedly: "The closing of Zhigu Village is not a big matter, but it is cumbersome, not to mention other small things, but there are some small episodes during this period, which is very interesting." ”

"Oh?" Ning Zhao looked up at her and asked, "What is the episode?" ”

"The political envoy of Zhigu Zhai is a descendant of an old-school family, and his relationship with the royal family is very delicate." Jin Yuan said: "This political envoy is the same as most officials, he is not good or bad as an official, and there are no major mistakes, but he also follows the trend. ”

The old-school family is indeed a very subtle existence.

Some of them are ranked as the third duke, and some of them have the merit of being a dragon, and the old emperor has to be wary of them on the one hand, but also rely on them. Everyone understands such subtlety, and Murong Cheng and Murong Ji naturally understand it.

It is precisely because they understand that they each look up to that high position, once people have the heart to fight, they will naturally look for help, and starting from the family is the best way.

"Murong Ji, the king of Chu, is fine, he still has his own mother and concubine to help him, and the prince is different." Jin Yuan said.

Everyone knows that this prince was born miserably, he has a father and a mother but has never been favored, and he is not as pleasing as his own sister the fourth princess.

But why, this is all a royal secret, some people want to listen, and some people completely ignore this unappreciated His Royal Highness the Prince.

Murong Cheng's situation is very embarrassing and dangerous, and now he is hanging on the cliff, as long as Murong Ji makes a slight movement here, he is like a frightened bird.

The political envoy of Zhigu Zhai was born in the family, and he was naturally contaminated with the style of the family, his eyes were above the top and he didn't mention it, and he also took people to put dishes on the plate, the two of them went on this trip, Murong Ji was flattered and treated favorably by this person, and Murong Cheng was nominally still the prince of the East Palace, how could he look at it.

What's more, this line of work was an opportunity for the two of them to behave in front of the old emperor and prove their abilities, and Murong Ji was a political envoy to help, so Murong Cheng naturally would not sit idly by, and let the credit be taken by Murong Ji alone.

"Another henchman under the political envoy." Jin Yuan rubbed Ning Zhao's hands and said, "I am cautious and cautious on weekdays, and I have followed the political envoy for many years, and the political envoy can be said to have a lot of trust in this person......

It's one thing to be trusted, but this henchman is not willing to be a henchman in this life, and he will never come out, and it just so happened that two royal relatives came during the period, and this person is definitely a great opportunity for himself to get ahead, so he will naturally not let it go.

Murong Cheng didn't mention anything else, but he was very good at winning over people with a heart, such as Ning Hong, as well as the likes of Master Chen, the imperial historian.

Murong Cheng saw that this henchman had a side mind, he was very happy, a person has a desire at all, it is the biggest weakness, as long as you give a small benefit, you can obey you.

The henchmen learned that the political envoy made an appointment to meet Murong Ji, the purpose was to squeeze out Murong Cheng, and he provoked between his words, saying that the closing of Zhigu Village was Murong Ji's work alone, but Murong Cheng wanted to intervene sideways and make an obstruction.

Murong Ji had already had displeasure in his heart, when Murong Cheng robbed him in front of Jin Yuan, he already had a pimple in his heart, and now he was provoked by the political envoy, and this pimple turned into a thorn.

Although Murong Ji has always been gentle and polite, and does not have a royal frame, it does not mean that he can tolerate a thorn in his heart and take root.

The political envoy saw his thoughts at a glance, and he was very happy in his heart, and wanted to curry favor with Murong Ji, so he used the change of power to stumble Murong Cheng.

But this matter turned his head and was stabbed by that henchman to Murong Cheng, Murong Cheng was furious, and he also used his connections, and the two fought directly from the surface, and the relationship was sharply bad, so they had to tear their faces.

"Just for such a trivial matter, the two of them did this?" Ning Zhao laughed, feeling more and more that Murong Cheng had no brains.

Murong rarely participates in intrigues, and it is understandable that he will be used once, but Murong Cheng, a person who has a great treasure in mind, will actually be hooked up by this little thing.

"Murong Cheng's position is embarrassing now." Jin Yuan also smiled and said, "Xu is too anxious. ”

Worry?

Ning Zhao snorted coldly again.

In his previous life, he was really blind, and he thought that Murong Cheng was good everywhere, but he didn't want this to be a fan of the authorities at all, and he beautified Murong Cheng too much.

Looking at it now, it's just a mediocre talent who loses his rules when he's in a hurry. Murong Cheng wants to be the emperor? It's a fool's dream.

"Then again." Ning Zhao remembered Murong Ji.

Murong Ji was kind to himself in his previous life, but he didn't accept this kindness at the time, in other words, Murong Ji was not a bad person, but soft-hearted, too merciful.

And because the mother concubine was not born well, she was taught to be too pedantic in terms of identity and etiquette since she was a child, can such a person be a good emperor? "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is too merciful, and he is not the best candidate for the throne." Ning Zhao finished adding his words.

Hearing this, Jin Yuan fell silent, his eyes in the dark didn't know where to look, but there was a faint light, which made him even darker.

Ning Zhao didn't want Jin Yuan to answer, Wu Zi continued: "The prince in the palace can compete for the throne, there are only these two people at the moment, but these two are not the best candidates for the throne, and I don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart. ”

"I don't know what the emperor thinks." Jin Yuan took a deep breath of cold air, suddenly smiled, reached out and pinched Ning Zhao's cheek, and said with a smile: "I only know that it has passed the second watch, and it is time for Madam to rest." ”
