"The old minister respects the emperor and the concubine, and respects the concubine." An Guogong raised his wine glass and said to the head, "The old minister is grateful for the kindness of the heavenly family, and he will do it first as a respect!" ”

"Guogong is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and Su Shilang is the nephew of Concubine Li, so his relatives don't have to see him." The imperial concubine deliberately raised the Duke of An Guo before she said this, but Concubine Li was very proud after hearing it, and she didn't hear the tentative meaning of the imperial concubine's words at all.

"The imperial concubine is really tormenting the old minister, the old minister is just a courtier, where is it worthy of being close to Li Concubine Niangniang, but Li Concubine Niangniang is thinking about the old and willing to pity the Guogong Mansion." An Guogong is already seventy years old, and it is said that it is rare for people to live for seventy years, and if he wants to come to Anguo Mansion to go through three dynasties, he naturally has his extraordinary ability.

Ning Zhiyun looked at An Guogong, who was now trembling and kneeling on the ground, and suddenly thought that if An Guogong hadn't stopped him back then, he was afraid that he would have already entered Sumen at that time, and it was impossible to say that he had no resentment at all, but now seeing An Guogong who was still kneeling on the ground in his prime, Ning Zhixuan suddenly seemed to have untied the knot in her heart, and understood that An Guogong was just bent on protecting the lintel and protecting the clansmen, so that Ning Zhigong was not allowed to enter, compared to those villains who were greedy for fame and fortune, If you want to protect your loved ones and keep them safe, it seems to be understandable.

"Grandpa Guo is a veteran of the three dynasties, and his father also relies on Grandpa Guo, and the mother concubine is not so much thinking of the old as conforming to her father's will." Shangguan Jiuxiao heard the tentative meaning between the imperial concubine's words, so he deliberately wanted to clear up the relationship between Concubine Li and the Anguo Mansion.

Although Concubine Li is a little arrogant and domineering, she is not stupid, and she heard the deep meaning of Shangguan Jiuxiao's words, so she hurriedly smiled and held the wine cup and said: "The emperor values the grandfather of the country, so he specially gave the palace to go out of the palace to congratulate the grandfather of the country on his birthday, and the grandfather of the country should remember the emperor's love for the grandfather in the future." ”

An Guogong is now in his prime, and his gray beard trembles on his cheeks, but he still reluctantly kneels down and kowtows to the top and says, "The old minister will never forget His Majesty's grace!" ”

The imperial concubine who was on the throne looked at Duke An Guo, who was kneeling on the ground and was sincerely afraid, the light in her eyes was still sharp, but her tone was becoming softer and softer: "Today is the birthday of the principality, and it is a little difficult to get up and kneel down at every turn." As he spoke, he turned his head to Yunwen and said, "Why don't you go and help An Guogong up." ”

Yunwen is the most faceable aunt around the imperial concubine, and she personally stepped forward to help An Guogong, which can be regarded as giving enough face to the Anguo Mansion.

"Miss." Su Xin looked at Ning Zhixuan's eyes with more and more heavy disdain, knowing that she had always hated such false and false politeness, so she asked, "Miss is going out for a walk, so I can sober up and take a breath, this room is really stuffy." ”

I have to say that Su Xin knows Ning Zhiwen and knows that she can't stand these hypocritical faces, so she wants to accompany her out to breathe.

Now Ning Zhixuan also has no identity as the pavilion owner, and the seats are arranged among the nobles, and not many people will pay attention to the entry and exit.

"Princess, Miss Ning Er and Su Xin have gone out together" Ning Zhixuan had just stepped out of the threshold of Yan Biju with her front foot, and Pa Yun leaned over to Shangguan Yunxin and said, "The slave maid will also accompany Miss to change her clothes." ”

"Brother Yue, Xin'er will go and change her clothes, and she will come when she goes." Shangguan Yunxin watched Ning Zhiyun walk out, and when he turned his head sideways to ask Shangguan Hanyue for instructions, he saw that the latter was looking thoughtfully at Ning Zhiyue's departing back.

Shangguan Hanyue retracted her gaze for a moment, then looked at Shangguan Yunxin and advised, "Go, remember that you go and come back quickly." ”

"Xin'er knows." Shangguan Yunxin said and pulled Pa Yun and ran out happily.

"I'll accompany the young lady to change her clothes, and I'll go to see the imperial concubine in a while."

"I'll change my clothes later." Ning Zhixin's eyes were already looking at the corridor not far away as she spoke, and after a while, Guan Yunxin's figure appeared under the corridor and ran all the way towards Ning Zhixin.

"Sister Ning." Shangguan Yunxin had already run in front of Ning Zhixuan, and happily took her hand and said, "Is Sister Ning waiting for me?" ”

"I knew you'd come along." Ning Zhixin has always known that Shangguan Yunxin is a person who likes to join in the fun, so naturally she will not miss this kind of occasion.

"Sister Ning, Brother Mingsa and Brother Fengming are also here, but Brother Fengming doesn't want Mingsa to be too eye-catching, so he chooses to accompany Mingsa in the teahouse opposite the Anguo Mansion." Shangguan Yunxin approached Ning Zhixin and said in her ear, "Mingsa originally insisted on following me into the mansion, but Brother Fengming persuaded her, so she agreed to stay in the teahouse outside." ”

"Thank you for me, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, thanks to him for taking care of Mingsa all the time." Ning Zhixuan already knew that Shangguan Fengming was interested in Mingsa, but she didn't expect him to be able to think about Mingsa in everything, neither wanting to go against Mingsa's wishes, nor wanting her to be in danger, so she thought of the best of both worlds like waiting with her in the teahouse.

"Brother Fengming is interested in Mingsa." Shangguan Yunxin said as if he had thought of something, and said happily, "After the New Year, my father will entitle Brother Fengming as the king of the county." ”

What was a good thing in the eyes of Shangguan Yunxin may not be a good thing in the eyes of Ning Zhixin now, Shangguan Fengming is only nineteen years old this year, and the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all crowned as the king of the county after they had passed the ceremony of the weak crown. The only exception is Shangguan Hanyue, who is the heir, and Shangguan Qingyu, who has a prominent maternal status, and now Shangguan Fengming, who has a humble status as a concubine, also won this honor, and I don't know how many people hate it behind it.

"Sister Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't I ask my father for a while......"

"Xin'er, it's not a good time for me to enter the palace to accompany you." Ning Zhixuan interrupted Shangguan Yunxin and said, "I believe that soon the emperor will marry the eldest sister and His Royal Highness Prince Heng, and at that time, I will help my mother in the mansion to do a lot of trivial things." ”

"I see." In fact, Shangguan Yunxin was 10,000 unwilling to let Ning Banghua marry into Prince Heng's mansion and become her nominal sister-in-law, but in her heart, she also knew that there were thousands of powerful involvements in it, and it was really not something she could stop by herself.

"Sister Ning, now that Ning Banghua is proud, you have to be careful everywhere." Shangguan Yunxin could not prevent Ning Banghua from marrying into Prince Heng's mansion, nor could he take refuge in Ning Zhixuan in the palace, so he could only tell her to be more careful.

Ning Zhixuan saw Shangguan Yunxin's worried look on her face, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm awake all the time." ”

Shangguan Yunxin was about to say something when she saw Mo Jue coming over, she first saluted Ning Zhixin, and then said to Shangguan Yunxin: "Princess, you have been out for a long time, it is time to go back." ”

Before leaving the palace this time, Shangguan Hanyue made an agreement with Shangguan Yunxin in three chapters, and after coming out, Shangguan Yunxin must obey Shangguan Hanyue's arrangement in everything, otherwise no matter how Shangguan Yunxin begged next time, Shangguan Hanyue would not take her out of the palace again.

"Sister Ning, I'm going back, take care." Although Shangguan Yunxin likes to be petty on weekdays, she also knows that the palace rules are strict, in order to avoid falling into the tongue and not wanting to burden Shangguan Hanyue again, she had to reluctantly say goodbye to Ning Zhixuan.

Su Xin looked at Shangguan Yunxin, who left with Mo Jue, and said, "Although the princess is willful, she still knows how to measure. ”

"How can the person he spoiled with one hand be so ignorant." The children in the palace seem to be noble, but they are far more difficult to live than the children outside the palace, Shangguan Yunxin is also innocent but never forgets to guard the proportions, Shangguan Fengming is also a young man and an old man who is cautious everywhere, which naturally has sinister factors in the palace, and it is inseparable from Shangguan Hanyue's words and deeds.

"Does Miss think it's not easy for the prince?" Su Xin looked at Ning Zhixuan's eyebrows and seemed to be moved, so she guessed that she must have thought of Shangguan Hanyue being separated from her mother at a young age, and she was still too busy to take care of herself, but she still had to try her best to take care of Shangguan Fengming and Shangguan Yunxin.

"I'm also worried about nothing, and his business has nothing to do with me." Ning Zhiwen knew in her heart that today she stepped into the imperial concubine's room, and from then on, she would have cut off all her love with Shangguan Hanyue.

"Miss......" Su Xin looked at Ning Zhixuan's trembling shoulders, and could imagine how tight her fists were clenched under her wide sleeves.

"I'm fine, let's go." Ning Zhixuan took a deep breath, now she has more important things to do, she can't tolerate the soft heart of her little daughter, since she and Shangguan Hanyue have their own things to put down, then let them drift apart in their respective pursuits in the future, until there is no intersection again.

"Brother Yue, why are you here?" Shangguan Yunxin looked at Shangguan Hanyue's gaze clearly looking in the direction where Ning Zhiyue left, she thought that Ning Zhiyun was just having trouble with Shangguan Hanyue, but she didn't know that the decision made by Ning Zhiyue now almost ruined all the possibilities for her and Shangguan Hanyue.

"I saw that you hadn't returned to the table for a long time, so I thought of coming out to see you." Shangguan Hanyue retracted her gaze, and looked at Shangguan Yunxin's gaze that returned to her previous laziness and idleness, "Go back." ”

Shangguan Yunxin didn't know what to do, but Mo Jue faintly felt that Ning Zhixuan couldn't turn back when he stepped out, so he stopped in front of Shangguan Hanyue and replied: "Has the prince really thought about it?" Are you sure you won't regret it? ”

"Brother Yue, but what happened? If there's something, Brother Yue can't hide it from me. Shangguan Yunxin sensed that something was wrong from the seriousness in Mo Jue's gaze, so he asked Shangguan Hanyue uneasily.

"Xin'er, you go back first." Shangguan Hanyue's tone sounded very calm, but those who knew his temperament well knew that this was a sign of his anger.

Shangguan Yunxin rarely sees Shangguan Hanyue angry, in her impression, Shangguan Hanyue has always hidden all her thoughts in her heart, and the idleness and carelessness that she usually shows in front of everyone are just an illusion that confuses people.
