Chapter 291: Night Owl Nalan
Ji Ning doesn't have much in common with Princess Wenren for the time being, in fact, he can better understand Princess Wenren's behavior of sacrificing part of her justice for the overall situation, because in the eyes of the royal people, the most important thing is the stability of the country's society, and it doesn't matter how many people die or not.
"When is Ji Gongzi going to leave for the capital?" Zhao Yuanrong asked.
"I'm going to start in mid-October, and I'll arrive in Beijing in November, and I have more than two months to prepare for the exam." Ji Ning said.
"Hmm. There is plenty of time to prepare, if Ji Gongzi goes to the capital, if there is anything he needs help, just come to the palace, and the palace will send someone to help! Zhao Yuanrong said, took out a paper envelope that looked like a letter, and put it on the table, "Here is the way to find the palace after arriving in the capital, you take it." Ji Gongzi, take care, the palace will immediately leave to return to the capital and report to the imperial court! ”
Ji Ning remembered Zhao Yuanxuan's mention of someone wanting to assassinate Zhao Yuanrong, he didn't know how to mention it, he said cautiously: "Princess, you have harmed the interests of many people in Jiangnan, it is better to be more careful when you return to the capital on this trip." ”
"Oh? Ji Gongzi's meaning, is someone trying to be unfavorable to the palace? Zhao Yuanrong said with a frown on his forehead.
"Perhaps, it's just an expectation." Ji Ning would not say that this was the conclusive news he got from Zhao Yuanxuan.
"Hmm." Zhao Yuanrong nodded, "What Ji Gongzi reminded is also a little reasonable, there are many ways to go back to the capital, but if someone ambushes him on the way back from the palace, there will always be danger, I don't know what good advice Ji Gongzi has?" ”
Ji Ning Zhengse said: "I shouldn't have told the princess about it, but the princess still set up a few more disguised teams, which makes people think that the princess can return to the capital in the most direct and convenient way, but in fact, the princess can take a detour, or delay it for a few days before setting off, and then go north after exploring the road, or it will make the thieves have no way to start!" ”
Zhao Yuanrong thought about it for a while, and finally she nodded with satisfaction and said, "The suggestion made by Ji Gongzi is exactly what this palace thinks. Ji Gongzi, you said that you would not help this palace, but occasionally ask for your opinion, you can still benefit the palace a lot, if Ji Gongzi can stay by this palace for a long time, how good would it be? ”
This sounds ambiguous, as if Zhao Yuanrong has taken a fancy to Ji Ning.
Ji Ning thought to himself: "Zhao Yuanrong is hinting at me? Or are you sarcastically using such ambiguous words? This woman's methods are so powerful, I can't fall into her way! ”
"The princess has great talents and powers, and she doesn't need to give advice to you in the next ordinary person, so she will retire in the next place." Ji Ning bowed and retired, Zhao Yuanrong looked a little disappointed, and watched Ji Ning walk away.
At this time, behind Zhao Yuanrong, there was a woman wrapped in a black cloak, and said, "Princess, is it credible that this Ji Gongzi said that someone wants to harm you?" ”
"Whether it is credible or not, it is always good to be prepared, this palace has come to Jinling City this time, and the power of the crown prince and the five princes has been quite hit, if they want to harm me halfway, and then frame this matter to the other party, then I will become a victim of the fight between them." Zhao Yuanrong said with a grim expression.
"Does the princess follow what this person said, to set up suspicions, so that the thieves have no way to start?" The woman in the black cloak asked.
"There is no need to set up more, set one, there are officers and soldiers on the road to the north, there should be no major accidents, if something really happens, I believe that with you here, the palace can also get out of danger safely!" Zhao Yuanrong said.
Waiting for the black-clothed woman to retreat, Zhao Yuanrong took the teacup and said to himself: "This Ji Ning's ability is not low, but he is too cautious, even if the two imperial brothers want to fight each other, I don't think they will take the life of my princess to play, right?" You Ji Ning said that I am unscrupulous, I think you are a little dark in your heart, and you will speculate that the royal people will kill each other in order to fight each other? Alas! That's the biggest difference between people! ”

……
After the Luming banquet ended, Ji Ning, Xie Tai, and Song Rui went home separately, and two days later, the Confucian Temple gave the consciousness of the name of the Wen, which can be said to be one of the highest achievements of the scholars of the Dayong Dynasty.
After becoming a lifter, not only did his social status improve, but even the literary name of the Temple of Literature also improved, and his spiritual strength increased, and he was able to begin to write a few small seals. This has no effect on Ji Ning, and he should write as much as he can, and it will not change because of an event similar to a Western religious ceremony.
The name of the Confucian Temple was set on September 17, and Ji Ning had nothing to prepare, what he wanted to prepare now was what he had to bring to the capital.
Books and the four treasures of the study room are to be carried, originally He An and Yu Ling should go to the capital with him, but someone at home always has to be watched and taken care of, so Ji Ning is ready to leave He An at home, and let Yu Ling, a close-fitting little padded jacket, stay by his side.
Because it would only start at the beginning of October, Ji Ning was not in a hurry to settle down.
On the night of September 16, that is, the eve before the name of the Confucian Temple, Ji Ning had just packed up his books and returned to the study, when he noticed that the atmosphere around him was a little solemn, and he felt a pang in his heart: "Is someone coming to assassinate me?" ”
"Don't be afraid, it's me!" In the shadows of the corner, the sound of Nalan blowing snow could be heard.
Ji Ning relaxed a little, he looked at the shadow of Nalan Blowing Snow, and wondered in his heart, in the past, Nalan Blowing Snow used to come back after he slept until midnight, but this time it was still the first half of the night before even Yu Ling's side fell asleep, she came, and the night owl's personality also changed.
"Young master, you can rest first, the slave and maid have also returned to the room!" The sound of the rain spirit was heard outside, and the rain spirit left with the small lantern.
Ji Ning walked to the table and was about to light the candlestick, when Nalan Fuxue came out and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I light the lamp, and I can't talk to Miss Nalan in the dark, right?" Ji Ning said.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we just talked like that without lighting the lights? I...... I don't like light! Nalan Fuxue looked a little weird.
Ji Ning looked at Nalan Blowing Snow, thinking that every time they met before, they were almost in the shadows, and he began to understand Nalan Blowing Snow's character, maybe this was a naturally insecure woman, so she chose to come out in the dark to move. Ji Ning asked for confirmation: "Doesn't Miss Nalan usually go out during the day?" ”
"Hmm. I rest during the day. Nalan Fuxue nodded.
"Rest during the day? Uh, so much sleep? "Ji Ning is full of curiosity about the world of Nalan blowing snow.
"If I wake up, I'll get up and practice." Nalan Chuixue said, glaring at Ji Ning, "Why are you asking so much?" ”
Ji Ning smiled and said, "It's purely curiosity." Miss Nalan, don't forget, you made an agreement before, if I can avenge you, you will give me a slave, you are likely to become a member of my Ji Mansion in the future, I know more about the future family members, do you think it should be? ”
