"Say, you fell asleep and didn't hear it."

"What did you say, brother?"

Ning Xuanli didn't answer this question, but said, "Since I didn't hear it, forget it, I'll tell you when I have the opportunity to tell you later." ”

She didn't bother anymore, just nodded and followed Ning Xuanli up the mountain.

The National Temple is located on the top of this Wolong Mountain, but there is a viewing tower with an excellent view halfway up the mountain, at a glance, Ning Zimo can faintly see the capital far away from this National Temple, a piece of silver, Ning Zimo saw a large piece of red plum at the foot of the mountain, and exclaimed: "Brother, look over there." ”

Ning Xuanli looked in the direction of her finger and praised, "Temperamental." ”

"Where is there a person, there are only plum blossoms, I don't know what variety?"

"I'm talking about the people who plant plum blossoms. Let's go, it's not early, if you delay any longer, you won't be able to reach the National Temple before dark. ”

Ning Zimo glanced back with some reluctance, and said dissatisfiedly: "No, I will also open up a vacant space in the backyard to catch up with Ming'er, and ask the craftsmen to cultivate soil and plant red plums in the bones, and when it comes to winter, it will be called a good look." ”

It was indeed dark when the group of four people arrived at the top of the mountain, and it seemed that the little monks of this national temple all knew Ning Xuanli, so they hurriedly walked up and said, "Son, you are here, you will be closed in a quarter of an hour at night." ”

"The snow road is not easy to walk, and this is just in time."

After Ning Xuanli said this, he led Ning Zimo to the temple gate first, and seemed to have come many times, and led Ning Zimo to the meditation room in the backyard with a familiar car, and said in a general manner: "Every time I come to this Wolong Temple, I live in this meditation room, and then these people left this meditation room to me alone, just in the northwest corner, you can see a large piece of pine and bamboo, and then go to the front is a Wolong Pavilion, from the pavilion to see the past, the scenery is extremely beautiful." ”

Ning Zimo sat down, and when Yu Nu saw that the young lady was a little tired, she immediately put down the package on her back, squatted in front of Ning Zimo, and beat her legs.

Ning Xuanli also noticed it, and said to the little monk who was following him, "Huiyuan, you take these two down to rest and rest." ”

The jade slave received Ning Zimo's eyes, and didn't say any more.

Yu Nu walked halfway, looked back at the door that was tightly closed by Young Master Yan, and asked with some concern: "Just now I looked at this young lady's face and looked a little wrong, although she was cold, how could she be so pale." ”

"Don't worry, our young master will take care of Miss, Miss's face is very fair on weekdays."

When Yu Nu heard this, he didn't think much about it anymore, but he was still a little uneasy, and followed the little monk with a twisted brow.

Ning Xuanli squatted in front of Ning Zimo and gently beat Ning Zimo's legs: "You rest here for a while, I'll have someone bring vegetarian food later, you're hungry, right?"

"I'm not hungry, but I feel sick to my stomach, and I don't know how to do it, by the way, the sixth prince, when will you go?"

"There's no rush there, by the way, I'll introduce you to a master early tomorrow morning."

"What master? Brother, do you mean that you want me to see through the red dust? Do you want me to cultivate my mind and body? ”

The corners of Ning Xuanli's mouth hooked up a helpless smile, nodded her nose, and teased: "If you see through the red dust, what should I do?" This master of disguise is amazing, and I asked him to help us. ”

Ning Xuanli took out a stack of paper from the burden that Xiao Jiu put just now, Ning Zimo thought it was the design of the future palace of the six princes, but he saw a portrait of a woman, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and when he saw who was on the portrait, his face was not good-looking.

After a while, he said: "I also said that I don't want to marry her, and I still take her Danqing with me when I go far away, both front and side, and the painting is so expressive, it is three points more beautiful than a real person." ”

"Yes, the person who painted these pictures loves this woman to the extreme."

When she heard this, she didn't know where the breath came from in her heart, and she ignored people with a cold face.

"This painting was painted by the prince, he was in the post station every day, and by virtue of the appearance of the incense he had seen in the past, he could outline the very appearance of the incense. Xiaoba said that the son's study is full of fragrant danqing. ”

The more Ning Zimo listened, the more wrong he became, and he asked suspiciously, "So what?" What do you bring with you? ”

"You'll know tomorrow morning, I see that your face is pale and tight, I'll go find the jade slave to show you."

Ning Zimo shook his head and said, "After walking for so long in the afternoon, the jade slave is tired enough, let her rest for the night and talk about it later." ”

The brother and sister said something else, and soon someone brought dinner, this time it was a little fat man, who seemed to be very happy to see Ning Xuanli, and said with a smile: "Son, you are here again, our abbot has already explained, saying that next time you come, you must let me go and talk to his old man." ”

"Okay, after dinner, I'll go to see the abbot, and I'll bother the little master to go and talk first."

"Okay, then I'll not bother for now."

The little master put down his things, nodded at Ning Zimo as a salute, and then left.

It's dark and tight, and the Prime Minister's Mansion here is actually not quiet, and the big girl Shuangxi, who has been taking care of Liuxiang, is sneaking in the kitchen at the moment, secretly pouring the medicine given by the prince into Liuxiang's favorite soup.

People who do bad things are always scared in their hearts, even if the slightest wind and grass outside can scare her.

Although it was winter, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands trembled even more, but she still poured all the medicinal powder into the soup, and then stirred it with a spoon, afraid that others would see something.

After doing it, he took a quick look around, and found that no one was relieved, and immediately changed his head and walked out of the kitchen.

"Sister Double Happiness, Sister Double Happiness."

As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen, someone called out to her, she had some reflexes, and immediately looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that it was the guy who was doing chores in the kitchen, and reprimanded at the same time: "Where have all the people in your kitchen gone?" Miss Yan wants to drink some soup, why don't you have any dinner? ”

"Oh, Sister Shuangxi, you don't know, just now the housekeeper called all the people in Miss Yan's small kitchen to the master's yard to help, I heard that General Ning is here, and the master is entertaining."

Shuangxi snorted coldly: "I look at the kitchen that has been simmering since the morning, no one is looking at the fire, Miss loves to drink, you are so careless?" ”

"Oh no, I'm not back. Sister Double Happiness, don't be angry. ”

The man had a flattering smile on his face, and Shuangxi's heart was not here: "Since General Ning is here, Miss will definitely not need this soup later, but it can't be wasted, Miss will definitely use a bowl before going to bed, so you can prepare it first." ”

"Yes, yes, the little one is starting to look at it at this moment, Sister Shuangxi is relieved."

When Shuangxi heard this, he walked away with his nostrils turned to the sky, and when he arrived at Liuxiang, he saw Miss Yan grooming there, and hurriedly came to him.

"General Ning is here, my father asked me to go to the front hall for a banquet, where did you go at this juncture?"

"The slave maid just came back, and I also heard that General Ning was coming, so I helped Miss you go and take a look, and I thought that Young Master Yan was also here, so I thought that General Ning came over alone."

This Liuxiang was still full of shyness and thought that she was going to see her lover in a while, but she didn't expect that the person didn't come, and suddenly it seemed like a deflated ball, and she asked a little unhappily: "If Xuanli didn't come, where did he go?" ”

"Miss, this slave doesn't know."

Although Liuxiang was a little beautiful in her heart, she still went to the front hall for a banquet.

Liucheng is extremely polite to Ning Guodong, half because Ning Guodong himself is a high-ranking person, the most important thing is that he is about to become a family, the two giants of literature and martial arts are now married, and the two big ropes are now twisted into one, which is even more overwhelming, making the situation in the court one-sided, and the eyes of all court officials are on these two families.

In the past, General Ning belonged to a neutral posture and had no interaction with any prince, but this was not the case with the prime minister, who secretly supported the three princes, and now most officials are waiting to see if this General Ning will also support the three princes, if this is the case, everyone must faintly feel that the prince is probably going to be abolished.

There is an undercurrent in Kyoto, but this Liuxiang doesn't know much about this, but she just tries her best to be a lady at the banquet, trying to please the future father-in-law.

But Ning Guodong always has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, and this time he seems to have come purely for official business, and he talked with Prime Minister Liucheng for a long time in the study, and what he said was about receiving Yanbei's envoys.

The emperor recruited these two people into the palace this afternoon, handed over the safety of the banquet three days later to Ning Guodong, and handed over the matter of handover and negotiation with the envoys to the prime minister.

When he came out of the palace, it was not early, so he left Ning Guodong to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in order to better discuss the reception of the envoys of Yanbei.

And the prime minister asked with some concern at the moment: "Brother Ning, you said that in previous years, the reception of foreign envoys was a matter of the Ministry of Rites, but how did it fall on my head this year, what do you think about the emperor?" ”

Ning Guodong didn't think a lot like this, or in other words, he didn't understand the twists and turns in it, and said casually with a big wave of his hand: "The emperor's holy will, how can I guess as a courtier, what the emperor asks us to do, we just do it." ”

When Prime Minister Liucheng heard this, although he frowned and didn't worry about anything, he didn't plan to continue, looked at the sky and said, "Brother Ning, please, dinner should be ready, and after it's finished, the younger brother will send you back." ”

Ning Guodong nodded and walked side by side with Prime Minister Liu.
