Tang Ning got up a full hour later than usual because he annoyed the Holy Maiden when he got up in the morning.

After a simple wash, it is time to make a nutritious meal for the two ladies.

The Great Elder seemed to have something important to discuss with Su Mei, and they were waiting outside early in the morning, and while Tang Ning was cooking, the two talked secretly in the study for a long time, and did not leave until noon.

When they were talking in secret just now, the others had already eaten, Tang Ning kept one for her, brought the meal to the study at this moment, helped her set the dishes and chopsticks, and then sat down opposite her and asked, "What did the Great Elder say to you, I don't seem to have a good face." ”

Su Mei picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of food before saying: "There is some chaos in Yunnan, and someone in the court wants to make a move against Qiandi." ”

Qiandi used to be the territory of the Liang State, and the Liang State at that time had dozens of state capitals, including the Guizhou and Yunnan regions, and although the territory was not as large as the Chen State and the Chu State, the strength should not be underestimated.

Later, after the fall of the Liang State, the Guizhou Land was controlled by the Wan Gu Sect, and the rebels who destroyed the Liang State established a new dynasty in the Yunnan region, because they rebelled at that time and were unpopular with the people, and after the re-establishment of the regime, there were also a series of residual problems.

Now that they don't even have stability in Yunnan, how could they suddenly want to make a move on Qiandi, Tang Ning looked at Su Mei and asked, "Someone is stirring up right and wrong in Yunnan?" ”

"Who else can there be besides Uncle Gongsun?" A sneer appeared on Su Mei's face, and she said: "They still have a lingering opinion of the forces of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, in a vain attempt to stir up right and wrong between Yunnan and Guizhou, let us help her destroy the regime in Yunnan and restore the Great Liang......"

Gongsun Ying and Bai Jin, in order to recover the Liang Kingdom, really did everything, Tang Ning finally settled down in Qiandi, and his two children will also be born this year, so they won't watch them stir up the wind and rain around.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a Western Tibetan Plateau between Yunnan and the Western Regions, Tang Ning would have ordered the army to level Yunnan first.

"I'll take care of this." Su Mei gave him a reassuring look and said, "She wants to drag us into the water, but it's not so easy." ”

Tang Ning never doubted the combat effectiveness of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect members, although they were not many in number, but in this deep mountain, they were completely their home field, and with the favorable factors of the innate environment, they could almost be invincible.

In order to quell the chaos caused by Yunnan on the border, Su Mei took a few elders to Banzhou, and Tang Yaoyao was also busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and rarely went home.

Both of them are idle temperaments, and they both have great power in their hands, it is impossible to be a canary in a cage, and they can teach each other at home with peace of mind, and what they do is what they like, and Tang Ning went with them.

As a result, two of the four ladies in the family are pregnant, and two are away from home, Tang Ning takes care of them during the day and sleeps alone at night.

This is nothing to him, although Tang Ning is also a normal man, he can't talk about sitting still, but he can also control his **, but he likes it, and he mentioned it twice these days to let Qing'er serve her for her, but Tang Ning refused.

Although this little girl has passed her twenties, in Tang Ning's eyes, she is still that girl who is in a hurry, and whenever she thinks of those things, she will always feel a little awkward in her heart.

Zhong Yi gently stroked her still very flat lower abdomen, and said, "Qing'er was originally a maid in the room, does Xianggong think that she can still marry someone else?" ”

Tang Ning said: "She's still too young......"

Zhong Yi shook his head and said: "That's what Xianggong thinks, Qing'er is not young, you know, she is only one year younger than the concubine......"

"Then ......" Tang Ning knew that he couldn't use modern thinking to measure some customs here, thought for a while, and said: "Then Qing'er must be willing, even if she is a maid in the room, we can't force her." ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Xianggong, you are so smart, you can't see through the girl's mind, Qing'er's mind has long been with you......"

……

In the small courtyard, under a lush tree, Qing'er and Xiu'er sat side by side on the swing, swaying for a while.

Qing'er looked up at the sky and muttered: "I don't know if Miss is a boy or a girl in her belly, my uncle is now the emperor, if Miss gives birth to a boy, she will be the prince in the future......"

Xiu'er looked at her and quipped, "Isn't that Qing'er also a concubine?" ”

Qing'er panicked, glanced at her, and said, "What are you talking about......"

"What I said is true." Xiu'er was glared at by her, and said innocently: "I heard your young lady talking to your aunt yesterday, and said that you should be bed......"

Qing'er's face turned red, and she hurriedly said: "You, what nonsense are you talking about......"

Xiu'er sighed and said, "But my uncle said that you are too young...... but the two young ladies have already married him when they were younger than us......

When Qing'er heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her originally reddened face immediately revealed a little pale.

Xiu'er put her arm around her shoulders and comforted: "Oh, don't think nonsense, my uncle must like you too......"

Qing'er sat on the swing, her mood was a little low, and Xiu'er's face showed remorse, she really shouldn't have brought up this topic just now.

At this moment, Zhong Yi walked in from outside, looked at Qing'er, and said, "Qing'er, come over for a while......"

Qing'er immediately jumped off the swing, ran to Zhongyi, helped her, and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?" ”

Zhongyi looked at her and whispered a few words in her ear.

Qing'er was stunned, and then her face turned red, and she suddenly became a little at a loss.

Zhongyi looked at her and said, "It's okay, if Qing'er doesn't want to, just treat it as if Miss didn't say it, if you have a favorite husband candidate, Miss and Uncle will make decisions for you......"

"No, no ......" Seeing that the young lady misunderstood what he meant, Qing'er almost cried, hurriedly wiped her tears, and said, "Qing'er is willing, Qing'er is willing to ......"

After finding that Mrs. was gone, Qing'er stood in place, as if she was about to cry, Xiu'er hurriedly ran over and asked with concern, "What's wrong, what's wrong, why are you crying......?"

"It's okay......" Qing'er wiped her tears, her face turned red again, and she immediately ran away with her head down.

Seeing the great contrast between her before and after, Xiu'er couldn't help but freeze in place, shook her head and said, "What, inexplicable ......"

……

Xiao Ru's due date is next month, Tang Ning calculated the time, wrote a letter, and planned to send it to the Western Regions tomorrow and hand it over to Mr. Xu.

This time he went to the Western Regions, although it was just an unexpected gain to become the master of the Western Regions, but after coming back, Tang Ning felt more and more that with this identity, the very difficult problems in his eyes were immediately solved.

After writing the letter and watching Xiaoru Xiaoyi fall asleep, he went back to his room and prepared to rest.

However, no sooner had he taken off his coat than there was a knock at the door.

Tang Ning walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Qing'er standing outside the door, wearing a thin dress, her little face was red from the cold, obviously standing here for a short time.

Today, she didn't comb her buns, but pulled up her hair, and put a touch of powder on her face.

At this moment, looking at the lovely person in front of him, Tang Ning realized that the little maid had really grown up.

"It's cold outside, come in and talk." Downing took her hand and walked into the room before closing the door.

Qing'er folded her hands together, stood there a little cramped, looked down at her toes, and whispered: "Uncle, little, Miss......"

Xiaoyi mentioned it to him today, Tang Ning was naturally mentally prepared, he rubbed his hands warmly, held her cold face, and asked, "Has Qing'er really thought about it?" ”

Qing'er looked up at him, her eyes gradually became firm, and she said seriously: "Qing'er, Qing'er likes her uncle......"

Tang Ning took a deep breath, his expression gradually became serious, and said, "Actually, my uncle has wanted to prove one thing to Qing'er for a long time......

Qing'er's little face showed a blank look and asked, "What's the ......?"

……

Inside the room, the candle flame suddenly went out, and above the sky, dark clouds obscured the moon.
