Kyoto Imperial City, Siyi Palace.

The main hall was covered with thick Persian wool lichen, and the fire wall was hot, and the north wind was blowing outside, but it was warm inside.

The layout of the hall is extremely simple, a small couch, a few, a few pianos, a pair of Fushou copper crane incense burners, curling cigarettes, slowly flowing.

On the purple gold shelf next to the red lacquer carved red sandalwood couch, there is a snow-white, playful and lovely cockatiel. This parrot is Concubine Ning Shu's pet Xiaokui.

Concubine Ning Shu, dressed in a golden brocade dress, sat on the Hu bed, holding a small copper plate in one hand and a copper spoon in the other, and smashed the walnuts on the plate into Xiao Kui's white jade bowl.

There is no doubt that Concubine Ning Shufei is also a beauty. She is not as warm and flamboyant as Liu Yuan, nor is she as dignified and noble as Queen Yang, her beauty is soft and delicate, like a clear spring sweet and sweet, moistening people's hearts and spleens. Especially as he gets older, his eyebrows are becoming more and more gentle, and he is more and more kind-hearted.

There are delicious food, Xiao Kui happily blew a few cheerful whistles, and shrugged off two points of carmine on her little face. Concubine Ning Shufei was amused by its cute appearance, and said, "Look, Xiaokui is more human." ”

Half of the walnuts on the copper plate are set out, and the remaining half is not fed. Concubine Ning Shufei put the copper spoon on the plate, handed it to Ning Yong on the side, raised her hand and gently scratched Xiaokui's neck, and asked, "Second brother is about to arrive in Liangzhou City, right?" ”

"Yes, the second brother and Bai Li Ke are the front and rear feet." I had nothing to do, fiddling with the broken walnuts in the copper plate, "Seventh sister, Queen Yang has revealed such secrets and plates, what is her idea?" ”

Empress Yang not only revealed the purpose of Baili Ke's trip to Concubine Ning Shu, but also frequently courted her.

Concubine Ning Shufei snorted coldly, "What else can you do?" Don't you just want to win me over to deal with Liu Fangzi? ”

Liu Yuan is a native of Tanyang County, and when she and Liu Weifeng are mentioned, Concubine Ning Shu does not call her by name, but only says Liu Fangzi and Liu Fangnu.

Concubine Ning Shufei's index finger stroked the carmine on Xiaokui's cheek, "Not only the second brother, Bai Li Ke, but also Wei Yao, this northwest is lively now." ”

Zhao Xu named Wei Weihu's eldest grandson Wei Yao as Ning Yuan's general, allocated him 5,000 cavalry, and sent him to the northwest to suppress bandits. If Wei Yao's errand is done well, it will not be a problem to add an official to the knighthood.

"Then the second brother is going to the northwest, isn't he meeting Baili Ke?"

Concubine Ning Shu stopped, "Just touch it, it's okay." The second brother is to invite Master Futu to come to Kyoto to promote Buddhism, and it has nothing to do with Baili Ke. As soon as the conversation changed, "If Baili Ke finds the eldest prince, then the good days of the willow fang will come to an end." You see the saint's repeated actions, isn't it all stepping on the willow fang? ”

The suppression of bandits in the northwest has always been the beauty of Liu Weifeng's monopoly. This time, Zhao Xu was unprepared to use Wei Jin, which not only surprised everyone, but Liu Weifeng was also caught off guard.

Ning Yong bowed his head, "Indeed." However, Jiang Kai, the assassin of Liangzhou, is Liu Fangnu's person, if Liu Fangnu gets the news, will he instruct Jiang Kai to ...... the eldest prince?"

"Hah!" Concubine Ning sneered, "If they don't want their heads, just do it." The crime of murdering the emperor's heir, not to mention a small thorn history can't afford it, even the willow fang slave can't afford it. He just wanted to, and he had to weigh it. ”

Ning Yong disagreed, "Seventh sister, the rabbit bites when it's in a hurry." Don't forget, Liu Fangzi can even poison her own daughter, what else does she dare not do? The position of the prince was originally in Zhao Xin's pocket, and he killed a big prince halfway, I am afraid that the willow fang will not sit still. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Ning Shu was silent.

After pondering for a moment, Concubine Ning Shu let out a heavy "hmm" and asked, "Then ...... according to your opinion?"

"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Ning Yong's eyes lit up, "Whether the eldest prince can handle the important task is not yet known. Everything, it's too early to say. ”

Concubine Ning Shu nodded, "Well, what you said is very true. Now, the Yang family is betting on the eldest prince. As for our Ning family...... "Thinking of Zhao Xin's child, he sneered: "If I want my Ning family to bow to that Zhao Xin, I am also unwilling!" ”

As she was talking, the palace maid Hongni came in with two steamed pears and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the Qingzhou pear given by the sage before, the maid told the imperial kitchen to add a little cane pulp and steam it through the water, you can taste it." ”

Concubine Ning Shufei bowed her head slightly, and turned her head to look at Ning Yong, "You love to burn pears the most, take a few back to relieve your cravings when you leave." ”

Ning Yong, "Seventh Sister ......"

Speaking of roasted pears, there is a story. Ning Yong has loved to eat roasted pears since he was a child. Once, after eating two in a row, the nurse would not allow him to eat again. Ning Yong cried and made trouble, but he couldn't ask for half a pear.

He was greedy and took advantage of the nurse's nap, lied to the subordinate people, and secretly ate it on the stove in the warm pavilion. Children are clumsy and impatient, and they can't burn well. Ning Yong dropped the half-burned pears and went to play with something else. In a hurry to leave, the purse fell on the red-hot silver charcoal, and the fire ignited, almost setting the house on fire.

In order to eat a roasted pear, he was beaten and punished. has been punished, but Ning Yong still has a soft spot for roasted pears.

The silver spoon stirred in the clear pear juice, and Concubine Ning Shu felt a little sad, "How can you forget?" You're my favorite fourteenth brother. "If Concubine Ning Shu hadn't said anything, my father would have punished Ning Yong for being grounded for half a year.

The two sisters and brothers coincidentally stopped together and ate steamed pears silently.

After eating, Ning Yong wiped his mouth before saying, "Seventh sister, it's not too late to make plans when you see the eldest prince." You think, in public and private, if the prince wants to stand and stand firmly, he has to rely on us to support him behind his back. When the time comes, you have to help him, and it is too late for him to be happy. As for Yang Xiang's side, he couldn't ask for it. ”

"Hmm. The second brother said that he would not move. I will listen to you and will not make your own opinions. "It's about the honor and disgrace of the Ning family, and Concubine Ning Shu knows the stakes.

"Oh, that's right. The last time the saint came to you to ask questions, did you make it clear? It's all the things that Liangsi's servant did, how can it be counted on your head? I said the same thing with the saints......"

"It's all old. The sage summoned me to ask for details, and then sentenced the maid to be beheaded. ”

Concubine Ning Shu let out a turbid breath, "You, you shouldn't have followed the late prince in the first place." Otherwise, the saints will be more important to you. Sighing, "Speaking of which, you made the wrong bet in the first place." This time we can't repeat the mistakes of the past, we must be cautious and cautious. ”

Zhao Xu admired Ning Yong's literary brilliance, but he did not entrust him with important tasks. Concubine Ning Shufei knocked on the side a few times, but Zhao Xu was unmoved. After a long time, it was inconvenient for Concubine Ning Shufei to say more.

Ning Yong didn't care, "It's okay to have a second brother in the court." As for reuse or not, I don't care. Seventh sister, you must not have a gap with the saint over this matter. ”

"I still don't understand this! I'm not worth it for you, my fourteenth brother, you want to be literary and talented, and you want to be talented. I just hope that the eldest prince is a trouble-free, you can earn face with him, and your career will be smoother. ”
