Yindu, Ningfu.

Ning Zhi looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help frowning.

After a while, Ning Feng walked in, patted the snowflakes on his shoulder, and said to Ning Zhi, "Father, what's wrong?" The third still doesn't listen to persuasion? ”

"Not really, Song'er hasn't mentioned it since she came back from the Kong family." Ning Zhi said helplessly, and he didn't know whether to be happy or not.

Ning Feng nodded, it was not difficult for him to speculate that Ning Song was deflated, after all, the Kong family was in charge of the Guozijian, and there were naturally many people staring at such a sensitive position, once something went wrong because of the marriage, it would be a disaster for the Kong family.

"Then father, what are you ......," Ning Feng asked puzzled.

Ning Zhi handed the letter to Ning Feng, "This is a letter from Hu Tongxun, the doctor of the Agricultural Division, asking you to go to Zhenbao Zhai, saying that someone wants to see you, and he also said that he has a special identity." ”

Ning Feng took the letter and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, "Those who can invite a banquet in Zhenbao Zhai must be either rich or noble, and those who can have a relationship with Lord Hu must be officials from the DPRK and China." ”

"The old man thinks so too, but this identity is ...... special," Ning Zhi muttered, and suddenly looked at Ning Feng, "Could it be a royal ......?"

At this moment, Ning Feng's expression was solemn, and he frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, then they still don't give up on our family." ”

"But since it was Lord Hu who spoke, it must not be a big disaster, what the father means, you should go and have a look." Ning Zhi said helplessly.

Ning Feng nodded thoughtfully, "Dad, don't worry, the child has his own sense of proportion." ”

To be honest, Ning Feng was still a little worried, after all, if he had something to do with the royal family, it wouldn't be simple, if it weren't for that, Ning Xiaochuan wouldn't have been forced to run away from home.

……

Jumbo Zhai.

Ning Feng was invited, when it came to the Spring Festival, Zhenbao Zhai was also very lively, there was an endless stream of diners, the first and second floors were already crowded, and the fifth floor, which symbolized identity and status, was elegant and elegant, exceptionally quiet.

Under the leadership of Zhenbao Zhai Xiaoer, Ning Feng was taken to a small cubicle, saying that it was a cubicle, but it was not small, there were guest rooms, study rooms, and banquet halls inside, and it was golden and bright, at first glance, I couldn't believe that this was an inn.

As soon as Ning Feng walked in, he heard a clear voice from a man, "Lord Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you wouldn't come." ”

Ning Feng was taken aback by this voice, and as the owner of the voice behind the screen slowly appeared, Ning Feng hurriedly bowed his hand, "Xiaguan Ning Feng greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Hahaha." Gao Yuan politely helped Ning Feng up, "Lord Ning is polite, please take a seat." ”

I was really guessed, it was really a member of the royal family, or His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that this banquet is not so simple.

"Lord Ning doesn't have to be restrained, I know that because of the matter of Ning Xiaochuan Gongzi, there may be some misunderstanding between you and me, here I will first confess the guilt, Ning Xiaochuan Gongzi's matter is not the intention of this prince."

Gao Yuan raised his glass to apologize, but Ning Feng didn't know how to respond, and he could only get up to accompany the wine, "Your Highness is polite, Xia Guan never blamed His Highness." ”

"Lord Ning, I remember that Master Kong Zhenqing once said that you have the talent to enter the court, but now you have retreated from the court, it is not a pity, in the eyes of this prince, a talent like Lord Ning is now serving the country, and he should not be idle at home." The plateau is not hidden, and when it comes up, it goes straight to the point, but it is also calm.

Ning Feng arched his hand and smiled, "His Royal Highness the Prince's suggestion, the lower officials will keep it in mind, but now you also know the situation in the court, as a member of the Ning family, if I am in the court, I am afraid that many people will be unhappy." ”

Gao Yuan smiled knowingly and continued, "If there are talented people in the world who think like you, then wouldn't there be no one to use in my Dafeng?" ”

"Your Highness, don't blame, Xiaguan Ning Feng is not as noble as the master said, just an ordinary person with a family, feelings and life, you can't put life and death aside like those sages, and look forward to Your Highness Haihan." Ning Feng bowed and turned around to leave.

"Lord Ning stays." Gao Yuan stopped Ning Feng, sighed, and said helplessly, "I really hope that you can return to the court, not because of this prince, nor because of my father, but because this great emperor needs you."

If you still have any concerns, I can help you, for this, you don't have to have any psychological burden, as for how your Ning family will go after that, this prince will not interfere, how about it? ”

Gao Yuan's words surprised Ning Feng a little, he looked back at the crown prince Gao Yuan, and after hesitating for a while, he arched his hand, "Xia Guan has thanked the prince, if His Royal Highness has nothing else to do, Xia Guan will retire." ”

Gao Yuan bowed slightly, "I hope Lord Ning can think about it when he goes back." ”

"Yes!"

Ning Feng retreated, and after leaving Zhenbao Zhai, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly speculated in his heart, what does this Gao Yuancheng mean by such a play?

While the royal family sent people to recruit the Ning family, they secretly planned to get rid of the Ning family, which made Ning Feng couldn't help but be confused, could it be that the current royal family has contradictions in addition to the crown prince and the second prince, and their Ning family is the center of gravity of this contradiction?

Thinking of this, Ning Feng himself couldn't help but shake his head, when today's methods are vicious, coupled with the existence of Zhongfu, no one is allowed to disobey him, these are just his wishful thinking.

After Ning Feng left, behind the screen, Hu Tongxun walked out and bowed his hand to Gao Yuan, "Your Highness, the second son of the Ning family is thoughtful, and his joy and anger are invisible, plus his relationship with Prime Minister Guan Cheng's son-in-law, I am afraid that he will not accept your love." ”

Gao Yuan sighed slightly, and looked back at Hu Tongxun, "It's okay, I've already said it, no matter what, he will remember this after that." ”

"Your Highness, the matter you asked the old minister to inquire about over there has already been a clear inquiry, except for Yu Gongming and Wei Zhengol, the other disciples are more or less related to the Qin family, and some students with good abilities do not appear on this list." Hu Tongxun arched his hand and said.

Gao Yuan sneered, "This grandfather, he really took Prince Ben as a child, and he really dared to use Prince Ben's hands to cultivate his power." ”

"Your Royal Highness, as far as the old minister knows, this Yu Gongming and Wei Zhengol have something to do with the fifth young master of the Ning family, so do you want to pay attention to it." Hu Tongxun continued to say.

Gao Yuan slowly calmed down, got up and said, "Yu Gongming and Wei Zhengol, Prince Ben has already heard of it, and Prince Ben also knows about their relationship with Ning Xiaochuan, so there is no need to be taboo, okay, this time there is Lord Laohu, if you didn't help Prince Ben come up with ideas, Prince Ben really didn't know how to deal with it." ”

Hu Tongxun arched his hand in a sneer, "It is the duty of ministers to share worries for His Highness." ”

The matter of Gao Yuan's departure from the palace soon spread to Gao Zhen through the Zhongfu.

Gao Zhen can be said to have high hopes for this prince, especially after learning that his body is getting worse day by day, he knows what he will face once he sits in this position.

Gao Zhen was lying on the soft couch, and the queen's grandson Changping said this to Gao Zhen without a word, which was nothing more than some words about the long family and the short in the family.

At this moment, Han Zhongxuan came in, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the queen and Gao Zhen talking, and he was embarrassed to speak again.

Fortunately, Gao Zhen saw the embarrassed Han Zhongxuan and said, "Is there anything important about Gonggong Han?" ”

"This ......" Han Zhongxuan looked at Gongsun Changping next to him, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Gao Zhen coughed twice, got up and said, "Queen, I still have some business to do, so I won't accompany you, and I'll come back later." ”

Gongsun Changping got up, his demeanor was dignified, and he chuckled, "Your Majesty is busy with business, your Majesty must pay attention to your body after hard work, don't be tired, the concubine is waiting for Your Majesty here." ”

After Gao Zhen nodded slightly, he left with Han Zhongxuan, and after Gao Zhen left, the queen was obviously displeased, frowned and said, "Hey, Your Majesty really doesn't trust anyone." ”

……

Yin Du was covered with wind and snow, Han Zhongxuan hurriedly put on a cotton robe for Gao Zhen, walked in the corridor of the palace, looking at the snowflakes that were fluttering, Gao Zhen said, "Father-in-law Han said, what's wrong?" ”

Han Zhongxuan bowed his hand slightly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the East Palace not long after the Taishi looked for him, and went out of the palace to find Hu Tongxun. ”

"Hmm."

Gao Zhen showed a rare smile when he heard this, "This prince has finally grown up, and now I can worry less about it." ”

"Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to find Hu Tongxun, he also met Ning Feng, with all due respect, the old slave said bluntly, is it a little inappropriate for the prince to see Ning Feng at this time." Han Zhongxuan frowned and said.

After hearing this, Gao Zhen stopped, leaned on the fence, grabbed a handful of snow, and said softly, "If it is said that seeing Ning Xiaochuan is because of the Taishi, then seeing Ning Feng this time is his own idea, Ning Feng is a great talent, if it can really be used by the prince, it is also excellent, even if it doesn't work, it will not affect our plan." ”

Han Zhongxuan was even more confused, "But Your Majesty, behind Ning Feng is the Ning family, this Ning family is in the northwest, like a fierce tiger, can the prince really be able to suppress this tiger?" ”

"Even if it's a tiger, I have to make him lower his head, it's really not good, even if the prince cuts his love, he has to get rid of this tiger." Gao Zhen's face changed, and he could be regarded as expressing his attitude to Han Zhongxuan here.

That is, as long as the Ning family is threatened, no matter who it is, even if the prince comes forward.

Han Zhongxuan heard the meaning of Gao Zhen's words, and nodded knowingly, "The old slave understands." ”

Gao Zhen threw away the snow in his hand, clapped his hands, and pulled the cotton robe behind him, "It's been another winter." ”

Han Zhongxuan silently followed behind Gao Zhen, because he found that Gao Zhen's hands were shaking just when he was pulling the cotton robe.
