Chapter 1: Reluctantly
"Girl, girl! Oh no, the old lady has set you up! ”
The little girl Forsythia ran into the yard in a panic, and shouted loudly as soon as she entered the door.
It's a very delicate yard, but it's not an exaggeration to say it's luxurious. I saw a pattern of butterfly love flowers embroidered on one of eight screens, which was really exquisite.
And behind the screen, a girl in a concubine-colored dress came out, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.
Although he is only thirteen years old, he is already a peony that is about to bloom, which can be seen to be amazing in the future.
She is the girl in Forsythia's mouth, the ninth girl of the Ning family, Ning Zhi.
"It's a marriage, it's not like you're scared like this, grandfather loves the junior the most, is it possible, and you can't make me a fool?" Ning Zhi smiled, it was really like a hundred flowers blooming.
She didn't walk in a hurry, and she didn't see any hurry, as if the little girl Forsythia was just making a small joke with her.
It's really free and graceful.
"Oh, girl! He's not stupid, but he's crazy! You don't ask who it is! It's the second prince! It's the second prince, girl! Forsythia stamped her feet urgently.
At this moment, Ning Zhi was finally a little surprised: "Is it him?" ”
Second prince Pei Heng? That's not a good candidate.
It's not that he's bad, it's that his personality is not very good, and it's a bit too crazy to say that it's too much, but it's uncertain, and it's certain that he gets angry every minute. I don't know how many times I've heard of beating people to death.
However, Ning Zhi is not very worried.
After crossing over to this house, she found that although this family also has countless problems, the house fights endlessly every day. However, there is an advantage to this family, the elders really love the juniors.
The eldest patriarch, Ning Zeli, that is, his grandfather, although he is a 100% traitor, he is really a person who loves his juniors. Never do anything to marry daughters and granddaughters.
As a ninth girl, she knows very well that the sisters and brothers above are really good marriages.
Oh yes, the Ning family is ranked together regardless of gender. This point alone is to look at the younger generation.
Although, in this ranking, there are concubines, and concubines are indeed not as favored as concubines, but in terms of marriage, they are all the same.
It's nothing more than that the marriage threshold of the concubine is lower.
And as the most favored nine girls, she is not worried that her grandfather will pit her at all.
"If that's the case, let's go ask my grandfather." Ning Zhi said slowly.
Forsythia was in a hurry, but she had to nod.
While Bai Zhi smiled, she was busy waiting for the girl to walk to the study in the front yard.
It was noon, and the cicadas chirped one after another, but they walked through the corridor, and it was not too hot, at least not in the sun.
In the study in the front yard, Ning Zeli was sitting.
Ning Zhi walked in, saluting meticulously, with normal steps, normal face, and no good etiquette.
Even the swing of the skirt and the jade pendant on the skirt are not messed up.
After listening only to the soft sound, there was the girl's beautiful voice: "Greetings to grandfather." ”
Ning Zeli was a little helpless and a little proud.
This is his best granddaughter, and only she can exchange life for the second prince.
He wanted her to be well.
"You, you, you, you are young, so old, you obviously came to ask your grandfather about things, but you are so calm." Ning Zeli said with a smile.
"But there's nothing uncontrollable, I just want to know, it has to be him?" Ning Zhi sat down and asked.
"Still...... Our family doesn't lack anything, but right now, we still have to listen to the emperor, right? Ning Zeli smiled: "Moreover, your aunt, you also know." The prince has no children......"
Ning Zhi's aunt is the crown princess.
And His Royal Highness the Prince, who is fifty and one this year, has not had a son or a daughter so far.
The second prince is the only prince besides the crown prince. He was only seventeen years old.
Whether the crown prince succeeds to the throne or the crown prince cannot succeed to the throne, this second prince with an eccentric temper has an eighty percent chance of winning the throne.
"I know what my grandfather said, but ...... Grandfather also knows that the country of the Great Jin Dynasty does not know if it can survive until that time. Ning Zhi shook his head.
That's right, the Ning family is powerful, and there are hundreds of officials in the family, almost all of whom are corrupt officials.
Grandfather Ning Zeli, even more ...... Traitor.
The emperor was almost pampered.
Now, it is also because of the favor of the Ning family that there is this opportunity, after all, it is an indisputable fact that the prince has no children. It is also an indisputable fact that the prince is old.
The second prince, Pei Heng, is only seventeen years old and in good health.
However, the Great Jin Dynasty has long been riddled with holes. The rebellion of the Northern Ta tribe has been twenty years, but it has never been extinguished.
The border passes have been fighting all year round, and the people are struggling to make a living, and they are almost unable to survive by various taxes for many years.
Bandits are everywhere in the south, and officials and businessmen collude all over the country......
All it takes is a fire, and this decaying country will fall with a bang, and when the time comes, what use will the royal family have?
Of course, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and this country has become like this, not only because of the emperor's inaction, but because three generations of emperors are not a good thing.
"The Ning family can be greedy and treacherous, but they can only swear to the death with the Pei family. If there is really a day, grandpa wants to send you away, and grandpa himself is bound to live and die with the Pei family. Ning Zeli rarely said grandpa, thinking that this was not elegant enough.
But at this time, I feel that grandpa is more kind.
"Grandpa thinks, I'm following that...... The second prince who is not very good, can he live well? Ning Zhi tilted his head, not entangled.
"The other women of the Ning family, grandfather doesn't know, but you must be able to Zhi'er. Don't just learn from your aunt. Ning Zeli said.
"Since grandfather thinks it's okay, then so be it." After all, if Ning Zhi was unwilling, the Ning family still had a way to ask the emperor to change the holy decree.
Traitors......
"Lu Guogong! Which girl in your family is going to marry this temple? The main hall also took a look, and if it didn't look good, ask my father to change the holy decree as soon as possible! ”
With an arrogant voice, I saw a man in brocade push open the door of the study. Pei Heng has a bad temper, and he is very irritable when he listens to the holy decree today.
The father decreed, but he didn't make it clear which girl from the Ning family was. Is this for the Ning family to choose for themselves? He is a dignified son, but he still wants to call the Ning family the master?
The butler and the two servants followed, and they really wanted to cry without tears, and they couldn't stop it!
These two princes, nothing else, kung fu is really good!
This is extremely rude, even if it is a prince, he can't break into the mansion of a prince.
In stark contrast, it is Ningzhi.
She just got up slowly from her seat, and then bowed, full of rules, meticulous, with a natural sense of beauty: "The Second Highness is fine, I don't know Ning Zhi's appearance, but can I still satisfy the Second Highness?" ”
Actually, before Ning Zhi spoke, Pei Heng had seen her, and she hadn't seen her before, and she often attended banquets.
"Is that you? It's barely. Pei Heng snorted deliberately.
