Chapter 229: Uninvited Guest

King Chao's wedding seems to be the end of a series of turbulent events in the past six months, the capital has ushered in a calm since that day after the firecrackers, gongs and drums Emperor noisy, the crown prince abolished is just a stone thrown into the sea, in the case of King Chao in the limelight, even the splash did not appear in the turbulent sea of the capital's magnates.

Just like the situation when the prince was entitled, many people quietly began to transfer their chips, after King Chao took over the position of Xi Zhengai, the left and right of the Chao King side of the three military governors and Shen Ke led by the former central governor's mansion once again ushered in a balance, although only Shen Ke Fan Dongli among the four had the experience of garrisoning the battlefield at the border pass, the other two can only be regarded as Confucian generals who are on paper I strategizing, Wenchen has always been headed by Lu Yi'an, mostly to the prince as hope, the prince abolished, most of the Wenchen also began to transfer the chips.

The prince fell, and the power of the court was shuffled, but on the seventh day, the capital was peaceful, and Zhumen was full of sheng songs every day.

Ning Zhiyuan and Du Yiyi went to Xintonghou on the second day of the letter and the marquis, and stayed in the house for half a day Ning Zhiyuan had to leave because of cabinet affairs, Du Yiyi stayed for a day, and only returned to the house in the evening.

It is already the seventh day after King Chao's wedding, according to the rules, the newlywed bride is going to meet the royal family, Du Yiyi wanted to wait for a few days to go, but today King Chao came to the Rui Palace.

Ning Zhiyuan has been going out early and returning late every day these days, and he rarely comes back for dinner at noon, and the king and his wife came by coincidence, and today it is Du Yiyi who is alone in the house.

The newlywed Yan'er's little couple is you and me are deeply affectionate, although Xiong Daishan does not say much, but the joy and anger are in shape, from the occasional exchange of one or two sentences between the two, her eyes can be seen, she is very satisfied with this marriage.

When King Chao was proud of the spring breeze, he led his wife beside him, and he was even more energetic, Du Yiyi sat in the lobby, and the topic that had been brewed several times had to be swallowed back to his throat in the end.

Ning Chaoge's eyes made her feel uneasy all the time when she greeted her that day, and she always subconsciously wanted to keep a distance from him, so the visit was delayed again and again, and finally waited for the husband and wife to come to the door.

Ning Chaoge chuckled, and from time to time lowered his head and whispered softly to Xiong Daishan, which made Xiong Daishan laugh more than once, but the moment he looked up and glanced at it, Du Yiyi could always feel the unkind gaze.

Mother Xu knew that Du Yiyi must have made an old mistake again, and she was quick-witted, she bowed her head and muttered a few words in her ear, it was the helpless Du Yiyi who suddenly brightened up, looked up with a smile and said to Ning Chaoge and his wife: "It's boring to sit in the lobby, why don't you go to the backyard, let's talk while enjoying the flowers!" ”

Without the shelter of these three walls into the open environment, the feeling in Du Yiyi's heart has finally faded a lot, the peach blossoms in the Rui Wangfu have bloomed and failed, only a few scattered flowers on the branches are still trembling and shaking in the wind, and the red of a place has long been swept away by the family, and there is no accumulation of fragrant flowers under the peach blossom tree, only green grass.

Du Yiyi's comfortable Youzai Youzai followed the two guests, and Mother Xu took the lead in place of her master.

Shuttling through the peach blossom forest with the green and vigorous branches of Fangfei, the topics between Du Yiyi and Princess Chao gradually increased, from landscapes, flowers and birds to celebrities in mountains and rivers, although both of them were just coping with the embarrassment of silence, but the atmosphere was harmonious along the way.

"The peach blossoms are falling, the pear blossoms are blooming, and the backyard of the Rui Wang's Mansion is just a hundred flowers gathering!" From the peach forest that is red and green to the pear blossom forest where the pear blossoms are full of branches, Princess Chao praised with a smile, Du Yiyi has also been to Xiongfu, there are many trees and few flowers and plants, there is indeed no such forest.

"If Princess Chao likes it, plant a piece in the backyard of King Chao's mansion, and wait for the next year, which will be the scene!"

Xiong Daishan smiled shyly, and set her eyes on Ning Chaoge, who was striding in front of her, and her smart eyes flickered, and she saw the two people walking quickly in front of her.

"That's?" She asked suspiciously, pointing to the cyan shirt hidden by the clusters of white pear blossoms.

"That's Qinglan, how can she be interested in coming out to enjoy the flowers today!" The previous sentence is to answer Xiong Daishan, and the latter sentence is Du Yiyi's doubts in her heart.

Xiong Daishan asked, "Qinglan? The second lady of Lord Rui? That's going to be seen. ”

Du Yiyi never belittled Qinglan's identity in front of others, although she was a concubine, but her motives were simple and she had avoided a catastrophe for her, Du Yiyi has always regarded her as a friend, but their men can't share their ears with others like toothbrushes, even if Du Yiyi wants to be good friends with her, she can't get along with her like Mrs. Xintonghou.

"Then I'll introduce you to you!" Du Yiyi stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please, and led the two of them to change the direction of progress and turn into another way.

The breeze is gentle, the sun is warm, today is indeed a good day for basking in the sun, Qinglan, who has been stuffy in the house for several days, rarely walked out of the house and came to the pavilion of the pear blossom forest in the backyard to bask in the sun, but she didn't want to meet Du Yiyi, who led the Chao Wang and his wife, she was more of a second lady in the Rui Wang's Mansion, and how could she not come forward to say hello, Xiong Daishan was just newly married, not those snobbish wives.

Qinglan sat leisurely in the gazebo, Chang's mother, who had been locked up by Ning Zhiyuan for a day because of Ziyue's incident to deliver news to Du Yiyi before, was with Qinglan's intercession for her last time, her attitude towards Qinglan eased a lot, with half a year of coexistence, Chang's mother can also understand what kind of person her master is, anyway, she is already a handful of years, Chang's mother doesn't want to rely on bamboo branches to intrigue again, and it is not difficult for her to be born in the backyard of the quiet Rui Wang's Mansion.

Du Yiyi led the Chao Wang couple through several rows of pear trees and came to the pavilion.

Although it was Du Yiyi who let herself go last time when Qinglan pleaded, Chang's mother still had resentment towards Du Yiyi, and when she saw that it was her, she hurriedly turned her head away and pretended not to see it.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, it was Qinglan, who was basking in the sun with her eyes closed, who opened her eyes, and when she saw the comer, she immediately got up and saluted.

"I've seen the princess, I've seen the princess, I've seen the princess!"

"Get up, the sun is shining today, no wonder you are willing to step out of your room!" Du Yiyi smiled and stepped forward to help her up.

Xiong Daishan stood aside and looked at her, seeing that Qinglan was not the little concubine with heavy makeup and flamboyant makeup as she imagined, she felt a little more comfortable, although she was just newly married, but some problems still had to be considered, her husband Xu Dahe's crown prince in the future is more likely to ascend the throne, although there is only one mistress in Chao Wangfu, but who knows what will happen in the future, she is a new wife, what she is most afraid of is that she will be the same as Du Yiyi.

"Mother Chang said that the pear blossoms in the backyard were blooming, so I wanted to come and see it, I didn't know that the princess was here to meet guests, so I would leave!" Qinglan Yingyingying, Du Yiyi grabbed her hands, and explained with a smile: "Originally, we were over there, Princess Chao wanted to see you, so we just came!" ”

"I don't know what Princess Chao commands?" Qinglan's dark eyes turned, and he bowed his head and asked.

"I met it, just to meet, the second lady is quiet, gentle, beautiful and moving, it seems that Prince Rui is really blessed!" Xiong Daishan glanced at Ning Chaoge with a smile, and saw that he was just looking at the clusters of pear blossoms behind Du Yiyi, and the smile on his face was a little more lost.

Du Yiyi has long been accustomed to someone comparing Ning Zhiyuan's romantic history with herself, if Xiong Daishan has no malice, she will not take it to heart, standing beside Qinglan, she looked at the gazebo.

Princess Xie Luchao praised her, Qinglan was ashamed! Then Qinglan will not disturb the princess to entertain Princess Chao, and Qinglan will retire! ”

How could Qinglan stay for a long time on such an occasion, and bowed blessedly, so he hurriedly retreated.

Du Yiyi didn't speak, and Princess Chao was not easy to trespass, looking at the back of the master and servant leaving in a hurry, Xiong Daishan, who was smiling, was silent for a moment, and her face became a little pale.

"Princess Chao is unwell?" Xiong Daishan has been smiling since she entered the house, and she has never frowned like this, and Du Yiyi, who was looking back and seeing this scene, asked with concern.

"Suddenly a little uncomfortable, I have to borrow your old mother!"

Saying this, Du Yiyi immediately understood, but thinking that he would have to be alone with Ning Chaoge, Du Yiyi said a hundred unwillingly: "It's better for me to go with you!" ”

"I'll go back in a while, and I won't bother the princess! Mother Xu, let's go! Xiong Daishan stepped forward as she spoke, and Xu's mother glanced at Du Yiyi hesitantly, and only after Du Yiyi nodded did she follow.

The peach blossoms have just gone, the pear blossoms are beginning to bloom, and the two white forests are blended together, which is intoxicating like a dream.

At this time, Du Yiyi was not intoxicated with the beautiful scenery, and as soon as Xu's mother left, she and Ning Chaoge were left here.

Speechless, she began to walk back, trying to walk through the forest to the front yard infested by the next person.

Ning Chaoge followed behind without saying a word, and what made Du Yiyi relieved was that after Xiong Daishan left, Ning Chaoge instead restrained his unkind eyes.

Walking out of the peach blossom forest, it is the nine-song corridor, because it is connected with the kitchen in the front yard and the back door, sometimes many people will take this shortcut to carry things to the kitchen, and with people walking, Du Yiyi is no longer worried about stopping.

On the other side of the corridor is a bamboo forest, because there are people here who take care of it every day, and it is not like the bamboo forest in the innermost part of the backyard that is full of fallen leaves and rotting.

There is a stone table in the Jiuqu corridor, Ning Zhiyuan would meditate here when there was nothing to do in the past, Du Yiyi has also been here a few times, every time he listens to Ning Xiao's nagging here, and now Ning Xiao has also had a marriage contract and is bound to learn etiquette obediently in the palace, think about it, it has been two months since he came.

"The fourth brother has been raising flowers and grass in the house for five years, and he has indeed made this back garden good!" Ning Chaoge, who had been silent, smiled and stretched his waist and set up Erlang's legs.

Du Yiyi hadn't been to the backyard of Chao Wang's Mansion yet, and she didn't know how to pay tribute to the past, so she had to deal with it with a smile.

"The fourth brother and sister would like to hear good news?" Ning Chaoge put it on the table of the stone table and glanced at Du Yiyi with a smile.

Good news? Du Yiyi didn't think that Ning Chaoge, who was now at war with Ning Zhiyuan, would bring her any good news, "What good news?" ”

"I heard that Jin Yiwei has been looking for the third lady Ziyue, who was expelled from the house by the fourth brother, and there is no trace of Ziyue for half a month, it is also a coincidence, a few days ago my people in Yaozhou saw a person who is very similar to Ziyue, it is the duty of a courtier to share the worries of his father, Lord Zhu Ge is busy with affairs, how can he keep worrying about the family affairs of our Ning family, so I asked people to bring Ziyue back!"

This is indeed good news for Ning Chaoge, his people were able to meet Ziyue who was closely guarded by Ning Zhiyuan's people in such a 'coincidental' way, and he didn't have to work hard in the past half a month.

"I can't see that the relationship between King Chao and the prince is so good!" Du Yiyi sneered and turned his head, although he could still pretend to be calm on his face, but he had actually begun to panic in his heart, Ziyue was a pawn of Ning Chaoge, and he only blamed himself for being soft-hearted at the beginning to prevent Ning Zhiyuan from forcibly acting on Ziyue's slippery tire, if he was ruthless at that time, he would not let Ning Chaoge gain the upper hand now.

Whether it is Ning Zhiyuan's child or not, it is a life in the end, and if she wants to joke with her life, she can't do such a thing.

"Think of our four brothers, the prince entered the Zongren Mansion, the third brother went to Lingyin Temple, and only the weak fourth brother remained, I, as a brother, don't take much care of him, do you have to regret it when he leaves and returns to the West when he is not confused?" Ning Chaoge smiled smugly, his eyes full of contempt and mockery.

As the biggest competitor, how could Ning Chaoge not care about Ning Zhiyuan's affairs? He mentioned that Ning Zhiyuan's biggest obstacle to competing with him for the throne was to see Du Yiyi's helplessness.

"Then I will thank King Chao for his concern on behalf of the prince! With Mr. Chang here, don't say that you are not confused, even if you live a long life. Du Yiyi read out his fun toy, and said coldly with dislike.

"Then I congratulate Mr. Chang on being able to live the fourth brother to a hundred years in good health, seeing that the fourth brother is now in a group of wives and concubines, I really don't know what it will be like if he sits in the position of the emperor one day?" Ning Chaoge was very satisfied with the speed of his tongue, and spared no effort to attack the sore spot in Du Yiyi's heart.

Du Yiyi gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he couldn't extinguish his arrogant momentum by giving Ning Chaoge a painful blow, so he only blamed Ning Zhiyuan's peach blossom luck for being a little prosperous and falling into other people's tongues.

"There's no need for King Chao to worry! King Chao's newlywed Yan'er, so you have to care more about Princess Chao! Du Yiyi was very annoyed by the feeling of being trampled by a dog but not being able to return the salute, although she knew that Ning Chaoge was deliberately provoking herself, but some negative emotions were still uncontrollably vented.

Ning Chaoge sneered and said, "Fourth brother and sister, what's the matter?" Family, how can you refuse my kindness to care thousands of miles away, it is also fate, if it wasn't for the fourth brother who intervened sideways, the current Princess Chao is you! ”

"Don't worry about King Laochao, I am in harmony with the prince and his wife, yin and yang are wrong, but they are wrong!"

Du Yiyi angrily raised Liu Ye's eyebrows and glared at Ning Chaoge.

"Then I'll have to wait and see, and wait to see that the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister Qinglan Ziyue Ningyi have a happy family!"

Ning Chaoge was not angry but happy, and laughed happily.

Du Yiyi was annoyed by this playful look, and the cold air on his face became more and more cold: "Then please watch King Chao!" You can threaten us with Ziyue, don't think that you can hide from anyone who is your child, the prince can let Ziyue enter the mansion, so he will naturally have the certainty of resolving this threat, the good news of King Chao may not be bad news! ”

Ning Chaoge shook his head with a smile: "We? The fourth brother and sister are really naïve! Ning Yike has been determined to marry the fourth brother since she was a child, you still cherish the purity of the moment, and when she enters the door, she will have to toss! ”

Du Yiyi got up angrily, slapped the table hard and shouted: "Ning Chaoge, you are enough!" ”

"This king has good words to persuade him, how can the four brothers and sisters be angry! Fourth brother and sister, if you are a smart person, you should know what to do! The smile on the corner of Ning Chaoge's mouth became brighter.

"Of course I know what to do! You don't need to point fingers! ”

"Do you really know?" Ning Zhiyuan supported the table with his hands, and his body leaned and slowly approached Du Yiyi, swaying lightly.

Du Yiyi got up in disgust and took a step back, and walked down the steps without looking back, she swore that if she talked to King Chao again in the future, she would hang herself on the southeast branch!

Du Yiyi's back of leaving angrily has gone away, Ning Chaoge did not catch up, today when he visited Rui Wangfu, he took a bad breath, thinking of Du Yiyi's angry and angry expression, his happy mood was as comfortable as drinking a hot tea in the cold winter.

There is never anything he wants to get that he can't get, because what he can't get has long been destroyed by him.

He needs to make some memories before the good things are destroyed.

Xiong Daishan returned to the lobby under the guidance of Xu's mother, and when she saw Ning Chaoge waiting for her in the lobby but did not see Du Yiyi, she looked around a few times in confusion, but she couldn't find Du Yiyi's figure.

When the two left, Du Yiyi did not show up to see each other, or Xu's mother and the housekeeper sent the two out of the door, listening to Du Yiyi is suddenly uncomfortable, Xiong Daishan asked a few words of concern, but also stayed to disturb.

Xu's mother returned to Huaiyuju worriedly, but she only saw Du Yiyi's spirit, Xu's mother is a reasonable person, Du Yiyi must have this excuse to get along with King Chao unhappily, with the current relationship between King Rui and King Chao, although it seems to be harmonious, it is actually a tense relationship, Du Yiyi does not need to welcome King Chao, so Xu's mother, who was chattering in the past, did not ask much.

After Ning Chaoge left, Du Yiyi had been in a daze, Ziyue's question surfaced again, Ning Yi's question was also a procrastination, now Ning Chaoge was in the army, everyone was in the court, and now Ning Zhiyuan's situation seemed to be more dangerous than when the prince was still there, and now the biggest reliance for Ning Zhiyuan was the cabinet and Shen Ke.
