5. Accidental overboard
Liang Jing hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't make any more trouble." Now the country is unstable! …”
Ning Qiwei interrupted Liang Jing's words and said with a light smile: "Prime Minister wait for the result with peace of mind, I won't come nonsense." ”
The Imperial Study Room was set up as an examination room for more than 20 people.
Ning Qiwei walked up to the dragon chair in the center and sat down. Liang Jing and the chief examiner sat in a few seats under the steps of the dragon chair in turn.
Suddenly, the children rushed into the imperial study under the guidance of the attendant who had gone to call them. Children are listed in descending order according to their age.
Ning Qiwei looked at the children who were seated one after another, and she couldn't help but smile: the youngest of the children who took the exam was not as tall as the chair they were sitting on now. It's not that, though, and that's not the point. What she needs is their scheming and untapped malleability.
The chief examiner maintained order in the examination room, and Ning Qiwei said to all the children present: "I have a question, if you think of the answer, raise your hand to answer." Each of you only needs to raise your hand once to have a string of rock sugar gourds, if you answer correctly, add two more strings, okay? ”
All the children looked at Ning Qiwei in disbelief, and at this time, a childish child's voice came from a corner: "My mother said that if you eat too much rock sugar gourd, you will lose your teeth." ”
Ning Qiwei followed the voice and looked over and saw clearly the person who spoke, Liang Rui.
Ning Qiwei was thinking about giving him a charge of disobedience, when Liang Jing opened his mouth to reprimand: "Rui'er, don't mess around." Hurry up and make amends to the emperor. Ning Qiwei's words reached her throat but swallowed back, she looked at Liang Rui coldly. Liang Rui bit his lip and stood up from his seat, Liang Jing scolded: "Liang Rui, come to the emperor and kneel." ”
Liang Rui obediently walked up to Ning Qiwei and knelt down, but Liang Rui bit his lip from beginning to end.
Liang Jing is the crown prince, that is, Ning Qiwei's former teacher. Ning Qiwei didn't look at the monk's face and looked at the Buddha's face, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a smile against her will: "The prime minister is too worried. Liang Rui: Just a joke, I won't take it seriously. Liang Rui returned to his seat. The exams have begun. Liang Rui bit his lip and walked back quietly.
With the temptation of rock sugar gourds in front, the children enthusiastically raised their hands to answer the questions. Ning Qiwei's questions were all questions of court etiquette, although many children raised their hands to answer, but few answered correctly.
Ning Qiwei's scoring criteria for the chief examiner: the articles in the first round are selected in the correct font in block letters, and the score is calculated by the number of correct answers. If both are the first, they will be elected to the Imperial Study.
The sunset is about to set on the other side of the mountain, and there is such a beautiful scenery in the inner garden of the palace: many ministers of the court led a group of children holding large sugar gourds to walk on the aisle under the tall palace wall.
The day after the conferment of the title was the day when the emperor was exempted from the court. Ning Qiwei slept until three strokes in the morning before waking up. After Ning Qiwei was dressed neatly, Xu Changcai told Ning Qiwei: "The county lord of Ningrong has been waiting for the emperor in the imperial study for a long time. Ning Qiwei nodded: "Oh, I know." ”
After Ning Qiwei had breakfast, she went to the imperial study. Ning Qiwei strolled all the way, and Xu Chang followed her quietly. Ning Qiwei felt that time passed very leisurely. In a few moments, they were outside the gate of the imperial study. What caught Ning Qiwei's eyes was a beautiful picture: a little girl in a white gauze skirt stepped on a dragon chair, holding a brush and bowing her head slightly, and was engrossed in writing something. The girl's naturally fair complexion and snow-white gauze skirt blend perfectly.
Ning Qiwei motioned to Xu Chang not to make a sound. Ning Qiwei tiptoed around behind the girl. She reached out and tickled the girl. The little girl was caught off guard by the sudden attack, startled, and staggered and fell from her chair. Ning Qiwei was shocked, she quickly pulled the girl.
But Ning Qiwei's strength was too small, and she was also taken to the ground by the girl. Ning Qiwei thought that she would definitely fall very painfully this time, but she didn't expect them to fall on Xu Chang, who came over. Xu Chang lay under them and coughed, but they laughed happily.
Ning Rong's arrival not only reduced Ning Qiwei's workload, but also Ning Qiwei had a good playmate, and Ning Qiwei no longer felt that the palace was so boring. In their spare time, Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong would go to the imperial study to fish and play in the water between the imperial study and the Shiso Palace, sometimes they went to the Yugong Palace to go boating on the blue lake, and sometimes they went to the imperial garden to see strange movements and flowers. Their lives are not comfortable!
It was still an ordinary day, Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong finished processing the dossier at hand, and they played together in the "Xanadu". "Xanadu Garden" is another name given by Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong to the beautiful path between the imperial study and the Shiso Palace, which means a rare beauty in the world, and this nickname is only known by Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong.
Ning Qiwei is particularly fond of eating grilled fish, especially the fish she grills herself. The "Xanadu" stream is vertical and horizontal, and the fish are fat. Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong often fish here.
The afternoon sun was a little lazy, and of course Ning Qiwei would not let go of this good opportunity to fish. Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong came to their "paradise" again, where the breeze was gentle and the shade was heavy, which was really cool. Ning Qiwei didn't like anyone to disturb them, so she let Xuchang leave, leaving only Ning Qiwei, Ning Rong and a few children not far away.
At first, Ning Qiwei and Ning Rong sat on the stones by the stream, dangling their legs and quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait. The breeze was blowing, and Ning Qiwei felt bored and was about to fall asleep. Ning Qiwei held on to prevent herself from closing her eyes. Later, Ning Qiwei couldn't hold it anymore, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Ning Qiwei slept deeply, and her body slowly softened in the direction of the flowing stream. Ning Qiwei slept soundly, she was not aware of the danger at all. Ning Qiwei had no obstacle in front of her, and her body poured uncontrollably into the stream.
With a "plop", Ning Qiwei's whole person fell into the stream, Ning Rong turned his head and looked, no, the emperor fell into the stream. Ning Rong shouted for help: "Come on!" The emperor fell into the stream. Come on..."The content sounds a little funny, but the voice sounds dangerous. The children's guards, who were standing not far away, heard the call and hurried over.
Ning Qiwei, who had been sleeping deeply, was thrilled by the cold stream water, and she woke up. At this time, Ning Qiwei realized her situation, oh no, she can't swim! Ning Qiwei hurriedly struggled and shouted for help, Ning Qiwei opened her mouth, and the stream water immediately poured into her mouth. The stream was not very deep, but it was enough to drown a child like Ning Qiwei.
The children's guards, who hurried to stand by the stream, looked at the stream that was enough to submerge their bodies, and none of them dared to act rashly. At this moment, a boy as big as Ning Qiwei in the uniform of the Imperial Forest Army jumped into the stream. He swam to Ning Qiwei with all his might. When he swam to Ning Qiwei's side, he freed up one hand to wrap around Ning Qiwei's waist. Ning Qiwei felt in a daze that a warm little hand was holding her, and Ning Qiwei's desire to survive was aroused. Ning Qiwei wrapped her hands tightly around the other party's waist.
He held Ning Qiwei in one hand, and with the other hand, he had to push away the flowing stream. Ning Qiwei felt as if they had been spinning in place. Ning Qiwei hurriedly looked around, hoping to find a support. The hard work paid off, Ning Qi saw the long rattan with good toughness on the bank, Ning Qiwei shouted loudly to Ning Rong by the stream with all her strength: "Quickly tear off the rattan." ”
Ning Rong fell into the stream from Ning Qiwei, and she was so frightened that she cried. Ning Rong listened to Ning Qiwei's words, and she hurriedly went to pull the rattan. The child guards standing by the stream hurried over to help Ning Rong. They quickly tore off a long rattan stick, and Ning Rong commanded them to stretch the rattan to Ning Qiwei who was struggling in the stream. Ning Qiwei and the others tightened the rattan, and the child guards by the stream struggled to pull Ning Qiwei ashore.
As soon as Ning Qiwei came ashore, she collapsed and fell to the ground. The boy who saved Ning Qiwei seemed to be too tired, and he lay directly on the ground. Ning Rong quickly ran towards Ning Qiwei, and then Ning Rong hugged Ning Qiwei and cried. Those child guards also walked towards Ning Qiwei. And the boy who saved Ning Qiwei was left aside.
After Ning Qiwei's strength recovered slightly, she struggled to stand up. Ning Qiwei slowly walked towards the boy. Ning Qiwei really wanted to know who saved her quickly? Ning Qiwei walked over to the boy lying on the ground, and she squatted down. Ning Qiwei took off the boy's official hat that covered half of the boy's face. Oh, it's him, Liang Rui! A complex emotion flowed in Ning Qiwei's heart.
Ning Qiwei looked at Liang Rui's tightly closed eyes, and Ning Qiwei subconsciously reached out of Liang Rui's nostrils. Liang Rui's breathing was steady, but Ning Qiwei obviously felt that Liang Rui's face was hot. Ning Qiwei put her hand on Liang Rui's forehead to test the temperature, Liang Rui's forehead was hot and hot.
At this time, Xu Chang came with the guards under the leadership of the two child guards. Xu Chang looked at Ning Qiwei, who was soaked and his clothes were still dripping, and Liang Rui, who was lying on the ground. Xu Chang collapsed to the ground in fright.
In the Shiso Palace, there are flickering candles in several palace lamps. The palace ladies stood guard neatly. Liang Rui was lying on the phoenix bed in Yunniyi. Yun Niyi and Ning Qiwei sat on the edge of the bed. Liang Jing stood beside Ning Qiwei. Yun Niyi said with concern: "It's late. Prime Minister Liang rested earlier. The doctor said that Liang Rui was just infected with wind and cold. No big deal. Liang Jing said: "Queen Mother, Liang Rui asked the minister to take it back." How could Liang Rui occupy the queen mother's bedroom. Yun Niyi said: "Prime Minister Liang is afraid that Liang Rui will be mistreated. "This... The minister retired. After Liang Jing said this, he saluted Yun Niyi and Ning Qiwei. Liang Jing left in hiding.
After Liang Jing left, Yun Niyi said to Ning Qiwei beside her: "Wei'er, you don't seem to pay much attention to Liang Rui. What a good boy. Today thanks to him for saving you. Ning Qiwei looked deeply at Liang Rui who was lying down: "Erchen just take him with him." Yun Niyi nodded with satisfaction.
In the cold winter of Layue, Ningfu Kingdom slept in the snow. Yun Niyi held up a big belly and wandered at the gate of the Zisu Palace. Yun Niyi looked at the snow-white world outside the door, arousing her nostalgia for the warm winter in the south of the Yangtze River.
