An Ning never thought that in this situation, it was Xue Qingshan, the new emperor's favored minister, who would lend a helping hand to her. It's just that in today's situation, An Ning has no choice, and my grandmother is critically ill and is waiting for ginseng to save her life. An Ning was half embarrassed, half guilty, took the thousand-year-old ginseng sent by Xue Qingshan and turned around and entered the courtyard, and in a hurry, he even forgot to say thank you, maybe he was embarrassed to say it.

Things have to start from half a year ago, it was the birthday banquet of King Wei, at that time An Ning was still the daughter of the second grade Taiwei, brocade clothes and jade food, and the scenery was infinite. That is, at the birthday banquet of King Wei, Xue Qingshan noticed An Ning at a glance, and he couldn't take his eyes off it with a casual glance. Even when An Ning left the backyard of the sisters who were surrounded by him and walked alone, Xue Qingshan couldn't help but follow, and something happened with him.

Men outside the back garden of the Wei Wangfu were not allowed to enter without permission, but there were not enough people at the birthday banquet that day, and the subordinates were negligent in taking precautions, so Xue Qingshan took advantage of the loophole. It can't be said that he took advantage of the loophole, because he is dignified and entering, and no one stops him, and he doesn't know that he can't enter. Besides, at that time, he entered Beijing for the first time, and it was also the first time he participated in the birthday banquet of the princes and ministers, and he was not clear about the rules of those families.

The back garden was tortuous, and among the flowers, Xue Qingshan happened to let him meet An Ning who was admiring the flowers, and was about to step forward to talk and introduce himself, but he saw An Ning's face change abruptly, and before he could speak, Qiu Ju, the personal maid next to him, had already opened his mouth and scolded, "Who are you, you dare to trespass in the garden?" ”

Xue Qingshan didn't know what to do, "When did I trespass?" ”

"You ......" Qiu Ju was angry, her face turned red for a while, but she couldn't answer, she had never seen such a shameless and justified person!

"My lord, this is the back garden of the palace, all of them are women's dependents, and foreign men are not allowed to enter without permission!" An Ning kindly reminded. Looking at this person's posture, his facial features are upright, although his clothes are not luxurious, but they are decent, and he thinks about today's birthday banquet of King Wei, the guests who come are officials regardless of rank, size, and Anning is always right to call "adult".

Although An Ning is a modern soul, she has been a captain for many years in ancient times, and under the immersion of feudal etiquette, although she sneers at these door rules in her heart, she still has to be quail-like on her face, otherwise she will drown her by spitting Xingzi.

She shouldn't have spoken, but she kindly reminded her that the person in front of her didn't seem to hear it, but stared at her directly, like a dog seeing a bone, this time An Ning was really annoyed, lifted her skirt and turned around to leave.

Xue Qingshan liked An Ning very much before, but this would be closer, and he was even more attracted, and then he heard the soft and crisp sound of An Ning's pearl falling on the jade plate, and he was stupid for a while, until An Ning turned around and wanted to leave, Xue Qingshan realized his Meng Lang. was about to come forward to explain, but saw Princess Wei leading a group of female dependents to come in front of him.

An Ning was dizzy, if it was really a disaster today, she shouldn't have come to the birthday banquet of Raushzi. The prince of Wei has admired himself for a long time, and when he came to the house to propose marriage, he was rejected, and Princess Wei was dissatisfied, waiting to see her jokes, but now she is in a place with a foreign man, plus a group of female relatives who follow behind, she is afraid that she has ten mouths and cannot say clearly. Before she could come up with a countermeasure, Princess Wei had already seen them, and both sides were stunned.

It was too late to hide, An Ning had to be blessed and greeted, and Xue Qingshan, who was behind him, naturally recognized Princess Wei, so he hugged his fists and saluted.

Princess Wei approached with a group of female dependents, looked at the two of them carefully with a pair of phoenix eyes, and said to An Ning with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Concubine Ben said why can't I see An Ning you at the banquet in the front hall, it's here!" Indeed, this back garden has a good view and is rarely visited, so it is a good place to go! After speaking, he glanced at Xue Qingshan with bad intentions.

Although Princess Wei didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that her words were saying that An Ning was meeting a foreign man privately in the back garden, and the women behind Princess Wei pinched silk handkerchiefs to cover their mouths and snickered, with ill intentions in their eyes.

"The princess is joking, An Ning has long heard that the scenery of Princess Wei's garden is a must in Beijing, and today I just had the opportunity to come in and have a look, but I just happened to meet this lord and the princess came, I want to come to this lord is a distinguished guest of the palace, otherwise how can I enter this back garden?" An Ning took a step closer to Princess Wei and hurriedly kept her distance from Xue Qingshan. Princess Wei didn't say it explicitly, she couldn't explain it easily, so she could only shake the pot, the implication was that I didn't know this person, we just met, and it was none of my business that he entered the back garden alone, it was your palace that was not well supervised!

"Oh? How can a lieutenant from the sixth rank be a distinguished guest of my palace? If he wasn't led, how would he get in? Princess Wei smiled with a meaning, and the implication was that this person was brought in by An Ning.

An Ning continued to pretend to be confused, "Oh, it turned out to be a mere six-rank Taiwei, An Ning has never seen it as the daughter of the Taiwei, and I thought it was a nobleman from the palace!" An Ning originally just wanted to show that a second-rank Taiwei's daughter would not have anything to do with Congliupin's Taiwei, but this sounded like he was laughing at people, but he couldn't take back what he said, and Anning could only secretly regret blaming himself for being quick-mouthed.

The words have already come to this, and Princess Wei is not good at saying anything, she secretly scolded An Ning in her heart for pretending to be confused, but with a peaceful smile on her face, she led An Ning out of the garden.

The brief confrontation between An Ning and Princess Wei had not yet shown his sword and Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but Xue Qingshan seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his face, and the surprise of entering Beijing for the first time, the joy of entering the court for the first time, and the throbbing of young admiration have become a joke at this moment. He was originally born in a poor peasant, and he became a lieutenant because of his military exploits, and he originally thought that he was already young and promising, and he was getting ahead, but here he was just a petty official from the sixth grade......

A small twist and turn no one cared about, but who knew that after the banquet, there were gossips, of course, because An Ning and the prime minister's eldest son had a marriage contract, no one believed that An Ning would let the prime minister's eldest son of the prime minister of the beautiful Jiyue not go to a private meeting with a little captain, everyone just said that Xue Qingshan was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, wishful thinking!

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, who would have thought that the situation would change abruptly, the once small Taiwei has now become the Dingyuan general of the fifth grade, the rank is not high but he is also a royal celebrity, the former Taiwei's daughter is now reduced to a commoner, his father and eldest brother have been dismissed, and all the family wealth has been confiscated.

Half a year ago, a piece of ginseng was worthless to the Taiwei Mansion, but now it is a human life. Because An Taiwei was implicated and dismissed because of the rebellion of King Wei, the family and court officials who were good friends at the beginning are now afraid to avoid the An family. Prime Minister Lin Jia even divorced the An family at the first time, and immediately married Shang Shu's daughter, and the An family was completely gone.
