Chapter 32: Becoming a King
"I'll give it to you." Rong Li said generously.
"I don't want it, I have to manage the trouble, you might as well send me money directly." A-Ning said disgustedly.
"It's all yours when the time comes." Rong Li said incomprehensibly. This was the end of the execution on the execution ground, because the criminals were already dumb, so even if the pain was very great, it did not make much noise. On the contrary, the ministers who watched from the sidelines were all like vegetables, and many of them vomited after watching it for a while. But when they finish vomiting and are not given the original position by the Jinyi guards, they are bound to watch the punishment to the end. The ministers all knew that this was Rong Li's order, and they shuddered with resentment in their hearts, even those brocade guards who obeyed orders were a little more afraid of Rong Li.
"Let's go after eating, you should go back to your lunch break." Rong Li said, A-Ning nodded, she was also a little tired after coming out all morning.
Rong Li arranged the cloak for A-Ning and took her hand and walked downstairs, just in time to meet King Cheng who was dining on the fifth floor.
"Yo, look at who this is, Xiao Qi is here to see his own achievements, looking at those courtiers who are usually high, because of your words, is it very fulfilling." King Cheng looked at Rong Li and said meaninglessly.
"That's just Uncle Chenghuang's idea, and if you break the law, you should be punished. The reason why the courtiers dared to bend the law for personal gain was sometimes because they did not know the laws of our court deep enough, so they did so. As a member of the royal family, it is natural to have the obligation to urge the courtiers to be strict with themselves at all times, and it is naturally a sense of accomplishment where the obligation comes from. Rong Li said, his expression cold.
"The emperor's nephew's eloquence is also good, ah, this king hasn't seen a little beauty by your side, but this beauty looks a little young, and the emperor's nephew's taste is quite heavy."
"Taining has seen Uncle Cheng." Seeing that King Cheng had shifted the topic to her, A-Ning saluted and said, otherwise her dissolute uncle wouldn't know what to say.
"It turned out to be Taining, and the king said that the little girl of which family was so cute. You can come out to shop, it seems that the imperial sister has raised you well. It's just that next time I don't want to go out with Xiao Qi, thanks to the royal sister, I am so relieved, next time I come out to play and find Uncle Cheng, this king knows a lot of interesting places. "As soon as King Cheng talks about playing, he talks about it.
"Thank you, Uncle Chengwang, if it's okay, my cousin and I will go back first." Aning said.
"Okay, okay, then you guys are busy, and this king will stay here for a while." King Cheng said. A-Ning saluted again before leaving with Rong Li.
"Uncle Cheng Wang still has this temperament, he is already nineteen years old and still alone, is the emperor's uncle just letting him go?" Aning asked. King Cheng is only 19 years old and even younger than many of his sons today, so at the beginning, the emperor was also distressed that his younger brother had no mother after he was born, and he always raised King Cheng as a son.
At the beginning, King Cheng was also a good boy who was motivated, but the teenager became more and more disappointing. behaves more and more like a madman, but his own talent has not been improved, and it looks a little grotesque. And he has become a keen player, often no longer in Beijing, as long as the emperor mentions marriage, he will run away. Therefore, even the emperor has no choice but to let him, thinking that he wants to marry after a few years of maturity.
"What if you don't do this, you can still see people like this, if you are in a hurry, Uncle Huang should disappear again. Anyway, he's still young, and he can play for a few more years. Rong Li said that he always didn't pay much attention to other people's affairs.
Rong Li saw A-Ning enter the princess's mansion before leaving, and he still had something to deal with.
"I'm back, why did I change my clothes?" As soon as A-Ning came back, he came to the main courtyard of the princess's mansion to see Princess An.
"Oh, when you get dirty while eating, you change it out." A-Ning said very naturally, without lying, blushing at all.
"Oh, I'm tired, go back and rest, and remember to come over for dinner." The eldest princess of Anguo glanced at A-Ning and sent her back for a lunch break.
"Your Highness knows what happened to the county lord?" Mama Qian asked with a smile.
"Bengong doesn't know her yet, it must be Xiao Qi who took her to eat it secretly, I'm afraid that the smell on her body is heavy and Bengong will find out about it." The eldest princess of An Guo smiled helplessly.
"If Your Highness knows, why didn't you say it?"
"If someone else asked, but Xiao Qi's words are still relieved, even if you eat something irritating, you must have added warm and tonic herbs, and you must have drunk something to nourish your stomach before and after meals, and it is no big deal. That child is the most careful boy this palace has ever seen, even the horses of the year were not so careful and thoughtful. "The eldest princess of Anguo has a posture of mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.
"In the afternoon, Mingfang and they should arrive, they have worked hard all the way, prepare for them, and when they come back, they don't have to rush to me." After chatting with Mama Qian for a while, the eldest princess of Anguo also went to take a nap.
Mingfang and Mingyan are the big palace maids who have followed her since childhood, this time they are in a hurry to return to Beijing, and some important things are still in the future, Mingfang and Mingyan are in charge of this, anyway, there is Qian Mama by her side, and she doesn't have to worry about no one to serve.
"Oh ......" Ah Ning slept for more than an hour before waking up, looking at the turquoise tent, smelling the fragrant quilt, sleeping on the soft bed, everything was so perfect.
"County Lord, but I'm awake." Ling Xia looked at A-Ning's cute movements of smelling the quilt and asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's still comfortable in my own home, although it is also arranged according to my preferences in the Yasukuni Mansion, but I feel a little uncomfortable that something is missing. I don't even sleep soundly here, it stands to reason that I've been away from here for several years, and my body still has such memories of this place, I'm really a nostalgic person. A-Ning happily lay on the bed.
"It is normal for the county lord to have such thoughts, although the Yasukuni Mansion also belongs to His Royal Highness and the lord, but the county lord has lived there for a limited time since he was born. Moreover, the Guogong Mansion is full of people, and it is difficult for the county lord to find a sense of belonging. Ziyun came in and heard A-Ning's words and said.
"That's it, it's better to be here, but the two aunts Mingfang and Mingyan are back, and they seem to hear it at noon." Aning asked.
"Well, the two aunts have already returned, and someone will send the county lord's favorite gadgets to the yard later." Ziyun said.
"I remember a few freshly made clothes a while ago, which I haven't worn yet, and I'll find them out and send them to my seventh sister later. She's shorter than me and dresses more appropriately. Aning said.
