Jia Cong followed Yindie and soon came to a secluded courtyard. The inner courtyard of this Ning Guofu is very large, and there are many courtyards, and Jia Cong has never been to this small courtyard.

When I came to the house, I glanced around, and the interior was quite warmly arranged, which showed that it had put a lot of effort into it, and it should not be a temporary arrangement, it was estimated that it had been prepared a long time ago.

It can be seen that You Shi has long considered the two light bulbs, and this girl is quite thoughtful.

Seeing Jia Cong coming, You Shi greeted him with a smile and helped him take off his coat and hang it on the hanger. Then he pulled him and came to the side and sat down.

"Brother Cong, this place is relatively secluded, no one will find it, even if the movement is bigger, it's fine, it's safer than my yard." Jia Cong smiled dryly: "Let my sister-in-law bother, you still have to worry about this kind of thing." "You Shi heard this,

"Poof" laughed out loud.

"If I don't have more snacks, where can I get my turn, with those little girls around you, where will you think of me, a half-old." Jia Cong smiled: "Sister-in-law said that you are not worse than them at all, but more exciting than them." I was going to look for my sister-in-law in the afternoon, but the second sister and the third sister were also there, but you did it yourself, and I can't blame me at all. You Shi stretched out his finger and pointed at Jia Cong's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You have no conscience, I have to find you a woman with all my strength, and you still complain about me, the second sister and the third sister are rare beauties, it's really cheap for you." Speaking of which, You Shi is still very attentive to himself.

Since he called Ning Guofu, he found a wet nurse for himself and a woman for himself, which can be regarded as painstaking.

Jia Cong has always treated her as an eldest sister-in-law and has no other ideas. I thought that I would get along like this, but I thought that God would make people, so I actually slept in the wrong room and slept with this sister-in-law.

This is the same, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't remind himself. Jia Cong is not a hypocritical person, since he has done it, he will admit it, there are just multiple women, and it is nothing.

Since then, the two have maintained this relationship, and because they are secretive, they have not been noticed.

Jia Cong smiled: "Knowing that my sister-in-law is good to me and thinks of me everywhere, I am very grateful in my heart, and I will definitely thank my sister-in-law later, and I will definitely make my sister-in-law satisfied." When You Shi heard this, his face flushed slightly.

This guy said it so deeply that it made people feel a little nostalgic. Bai Jia Cong glanced at him and said: "It's good that you know, my sister-in-law is old after all, and I can't stay with you for long, as long as you like it and you are happy, my sister-in-law has nothing else to ask for." When one day people are old and yellow, and they are not treated well by you, my sister-in-law will come here alone to care for the elderly. Jia Cong said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there won't be that day, with me with you, you won't be lonely." In the future, the house will become more and more lively. You Shi said: "I don't believe what others say, but I still believe what Brother Cong says." Jia Cong laughed and said, "It seems that I still have some weight in my sister-in-law's heart." You Shijiao smiled: "It's not just a bit weighty, in my sister-in-law's heart, there is only your position." It's not early, let's rest early, and you'll have to leave early. Silver Butterfly, come over and give the prince a wide coat. Yindie answered, walked into the house, blushed, and stripped Jia Cong's clothes············ An hour later, Jia Cong left the small courtyard and returned to his own courtyard.

After another moment, the satisfied You Shi cleaned up and returned to her courtyard with Yindie.

······ Early the next morning, Jia Cong removed his arm and quietly got out of bed. Qingwen also got up, served him and cleaned up briefly, then came to the yard together and began to exercise.

During this time, Jia Cong has been exercising non-stop, every day. It's just that Lin Daiyu and the others are missing at this time, and I don't know if they are up, they used to practice with themselves.

After an hour of exercise, it is time to freshen up and eat. After breakfast, I took a little rest, and told Ping'er and Mandarin Duck to send the gifts they brought back to everyone in the house one by one.

Jia Cong has just returned, and he has to walk around many places, so he doesn't have time to send everyone in person. However, Jia Yu still has to go there in person.

With a gift, he came to the East Road Courtyard, Jia Yu's residence. At this time, Jia Yu hadn't gotten up yet, and was still sleeping with his little wife.

Mrs. Xing got up, looked at the gifts sent by Jia Cong, and talked with Jia Cong with a smile on her face.

Jia Cong still wanted to enter the palace and give gifts to Emperor Longqing, so he didn't stay longer and left. Back in Ningguo's Mansion, the gifts for Emperor Longqing had been prepared, and four carriages were loaded.

In addition to some specialties and handicrafts of Goryeo and Wa, I also made two tuna of about 1.5 meters and some fresh crabs.

It's autumn now, and it's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the season to eat crabs. In addition, he also prepared a cart of gifts for Dai Quan, ready to be sent to his home together.

There's a woman of her own, who is now pregnant with Rokka, pregnant with her own child, and I don't know what the situation is now, do you think about yourself?

Jia Cong took Li Biao, Qingwen and others, as well as two teams of guards, and drove five carriages to the gate of the palace.

Let Qingwen take a carriage and go to Dai Quan's house. Jia Cong himself waited in front of the palace gate, waiting for news from the palace.

Although he is the Duke of Ning Guo, it is impossible for him to enter the palace casually, and he needs the permission of His Majesty or the Empress.

A moment later, Dai Quan hurried to the palace gate. looked at Jia Cong for a while, and said with a smile: "Ning Guogong is not harmed, I haven't seen you for a few months, Ning Guogong is even more energetic." Jia Cong also smiled and said: "There is Manager Lao Dai, this is some of the souvenirs I brought back from overseas, I specially honor Your Majesty, and I also ask Manager Dai to receive it." In addition, I have prepared some and sent them to my home. When Dai Quan heard this, he secretly praised it in his heart.

Jia Cong, this kid is just going to do things, not to mention how much money is spent, this intention alone is very rare. It's a pity that he was too young and didn't know how to keep his head up, and as soon as he was born, he was radiant, overwhelmed all the generals, and made monstrous contributions, making everyone jealous of him.

If you can be more modest, and then you will do things like this, then Your Majesty will not be afraid of him, and he will reuse him with all his might, and he will definitely be even more powerful than now.

It's a pity that all this can't be done again, everything is fate. Maybe we can only wait for the new monarch to succeed to the throne before there will be a comeback, right?

Hey, this ability is too strong, and it's not a good thing, but fortunately, His Majesty has a good impression of him, and there is still a friendship.

"Then thank you Ning Guogong, hurry up and follow me into the palace, Your Majesty is still waiting for Ning Guogong." Jia Cong nodded and entered the palace with this Dai Quan.

As for the gifts brought, they were also handed over to Dai Quan's subordinates. The two walked all the way, and Dai Quan asked, "Ning Guogong, did you really go to sea?" Jia Cong said: "Well, my father did go to sea this time, Manager Dai, is there any major event in the DPRK and China recently?" Dai Quan looked around and said in a low voice: "It's not a big deal lately, but Your Majesty is very interested in your whereabouts, and you have to think about how to answer." In addition, I said something for you, which aroused Your Majesty's suspicion, Your Majesty is afraid that you will be difficult to treat in the future, and it should be unlikely that you will be reused. Jia Cong nodded silently, he had already guessed this result, and he was not too surprised.

"I know, thank you for the reminder, it's okay, I can also have a peaceful life and do some things I like to do." Seeing that it was almost time to arrive at the imperial study, Dai Quan shut up, took a step ahead, and led the way in front.

Soon came to the imperial study, Jia Cong bowed to Emperor Longqing above.

"Minister, Jia Cong, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Looking at Jia Cong below, Emperor Longqing felt a little complicated and a little relieved.

Anyway, the current Jia Cong is still very close to himself, and he has not forgotten himself when he goes to sea this time and comes back.

After looking at Jia Cong below, he spoke: "Let's be flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Cong stood up and stood aside. Emperor Longqing said: "Jia Aiqing, I heard that you went to sea this time, I don't know if it's true?" Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty really sees thousands of miles, and expects things like a god, the minister did go to sea this time, and he also followed a caravan to go to the country of Wa and then to the country of Goryeo, which is considered to have a long insight." When the minister came back this time, he also brought back some specialties from there, and some seafood, and brought some filial piety to His Majesty. When Emperor Longqing heard this, he smiled and said: "Jia Aiqing has a heart, I heard that the sea is very dangerous, I don't know if it is true?" Jia Cong said: "Back to Your Majesty, the biggest danger at sea is the stormy weather, catching up with the storm, it is very dangerous, in the face of nature's heavenly might, we human beings are too small, we can't resist at all, and we are almost dead." However, those experienced crew members who go to sea all year round can avoid stormy weather. Emperor Longqing nodded, which was similar to what he knew.

This kid is really bold, not only went to sea, but also went to other countries, which is impressive.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Jia Aiqing, what are your plans to come back this time?" ”

"Intended?" Jia Cong was stunned, remembered what Dai Quan had said to him, and after a little contemplation, he understood what Emperor Longqing meant.

Perhaps, this is another test of yourself, right? Thinking of this, Jia Cong couldn't help but feel a little tired in his heart, he now has no position or power in his hands, can he use this to defend himself?

Besides, he never thought in his heart about betraying Da Chu. Many of the means prepared by themselves are just for self-preservation.

Your Majesty has so many hearts, this is really a companion like a tiger. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart, even so, then I should be a rich man for a lifetime.

Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister just came back this time, I want to have a good rest, and then I will start to prepare for next year's wedding, and after I get married, I will have to live with peace of mind." In the next few years, the ministers will be very busy, ready to marry a few more daughters-in-law, find a few more concubines, and have a few more children, so that I can have a successor to Ning Guofu. This time I went out, I saw the luxurious life of many rich and noble families, and the ministers were a little envious when they saw it, and they had the idea of being a rich idler, and enjoyed the glory and wealth. Emperor Longqing's eyes were strange, and he looked at Jia Cong for a while.

There was some noncommittality in his words, and I didn't even believe it. But he still smiled and said, "You kid, this is too unmotivated, right?" How old are you, you just want to live such a life, don't you think about serving your country again? Jia Cong smiled and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I have a vast territory and a lot of talents, no more than me, no less than me, not a lot less, and the ministers have also served the country, and now they are considered famous, it's time to enjoy life." "Emperor Longqing

"Hmph" and said: "If you want to be lazy, I won't agree, but your age should also be ready to get married, so it's up to you for the time being, and after a while, I will arrange an errand for you." Jia Cong hesitated slightly, and then arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order, thank Your Majesty." Emperor Longqing asked some more about the situation of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, and Jia Cong also answered them one by one.

During this period, Dai Quan went out for a while, and returned after a while, standing beside Emperor Longqing and stopping to speak.

Emperor Longqing glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?" Say something? Dai Quan arched his hand and said: "Back to the master, just now the queen sent someone over to say that I heard that Ning Guogong had just returned from overseas, and wanted Ning Guogong to tell me some interesting stories overseas, so I came to ask Your Majesty if you can allow it." Hearing this, Emperor Longqing frowned.

Then it stretched out again, and the queen stayed in the palace all the year round, and it was understandable that she was curious about some things outside.

Even if it's yourself, aren't you very curious about those things? Thinking of this, Emperor Longqing said: "Jia Aiqing, since the queen is curious about overseas things, you can go and tell her about them, it is rare for her to be interested in these things." Jia Cong felt a burst of criticism in his heart, the queen was interested in overseas affairs, but in him as a courtier.

is so blatantly looking for himself, there is no one except the queen, and this courage is really not ordinary.

Sometimes I feel that this girl's courage is much greater than herself. He said respectfully: "Minister, obey the order, minister, retire." Jia Cong took a few steps back, then turned around and left the imperial study, followed the people sent by the queen, and went to Cining Palace.

······ Hearing that Jia Cong was back and came to the palace, the queen moved her mind. At this moment, Concubine Chen, who heard the news, also came to the door.

"Sister, I heard that Ning Guogong came to the palace, how about you find a way to find him?" The queen glanced at Concubine Chen and said: "I'm thinking of a way, since he is back, there will be opportunities in the future, didn't His Majesty agree last time to let him be the commander of the forbidden army, are you still worried that you won't see him?" Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it for my sister's sake." The queen didn't quarrel with her anymore, thought about it, and shouted outside: "Xiao Anzi, go to Your Majesty, just say that the palace wants to hear some interesting stories and anecdotes overseas, and ask Ning Guogong to come over and tell the palace." ”

"Yes, master, the slave will do it."
