On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, Tang Ning went to the palace as a guest, and by the way, he took a look at the legendary fiancé of Hebai.

"What about the fiancé of the crane white girl? What about people? I'll see! ”

Before the person arrived, Ming Lanying looked at the beauty who came in with a smile on her eyebrows.

"I'm sitting here, how can I see someone else's fiancé when I come?"

Feng Chun followed behind and smiled, Tang Ning didn't take off his big hat, and directly took two steps forward to salute, his eyes teasing, "How dare you, the people's daughter has asked the princess for peace." ”

"Oops, what are you doing!" Ming Lanying hurriedly got up to help her, helped Tang Ning and went to pull Fengchun, "Get up, how can there be these false things between us." ”

Tang Ning knew that she was unfamiliar with her temperament, so she saluted and teased her, got up according to her strength, and stepped forward to untie the big gong for her in the spring, and Ming Lanying personally served them tea.

The hall was burning and the earth dragon was dry and warm, Tang Ning sighed and leaned back in the circle chair, and did not forget to be polite, "I have not been in the capital for so many big things in the past few months, you have become a princess, how can I sit with you as a small businessman?" ”

"Can't you sit together, don't you also drink the tea I poured and eat the snacks I made?" Ming Lanying glanced at her coquettishly, "Those things have passed, and the identity of this princess is nothing to mention, it's just that it's stained, is it that with this identity, Ah Ning won't play with me?" ”

"How dare you, your identity is not ordinary now, but you have to protect me!"

Ming Lanying raised her chin reservedly, "Of course, whoever dares to bully you and shake your face in the future will tell him that you are a good sister of Princess Yanbei!" The queen's mother personally sealed the three-grade edict, I will directly let the cub bite him, see who dares to make a mistake! ”

Seeing Ming Lanying's proud appearance, Tang Ning and Feng Chun couldn't help laughing.

Tang Ning's temperament will never let herself be wronged, let alone the second lady of the famous Tang family, no one dares to throw a face at Tang Ning with this identity, plus Tang Ning's sister is the imperial concubine, who dares to bully her? Don't die!

But Ming Lanying's words still warmed her heart, there is nothing more comforting than a friend who will stand up for herself, and this friend is also the only princess with a different surname who has been named Mrs. Decree in the dynasty.

"By the way, where is your Ning'er? Crane white, that girl is not there? ”

Tang Ning glanced left and right, there were only the three of them in the hall, Ning'er was the most sticky to Ming Lanying, and Hebai also knew that she would come today, but now she was not there.

Speaking of this, Ming Lanying was happy, "Ning and Shan Zhao played together, Hebai's girl didn't like to stay at home with Shan Zhao, and ran out to play again." ”

Tang Ning also liked Hebai to have fun everywhere and didn't see anyone, but he was surprised that Ning'er and Shan Zhao played together, "Ning'er and Shan Zhao are having a good time?" ”

Ming Lanying picked and chose the things in the Hundred Beast Garden, and only said that it was the cubs that were picked up, Ning'er grew up with the wolf cubs, and now she also likes these animals, and often goes to the Hundred Beasts Garden to feed and play.

"Shan Zhao and Hebai had a misunderstanding, except for the occasional quarrel at the dinner table for three meals a day, they often don't see each other on weekdays, one is soaking in the Hundred Beast Garden, and the other is wandering around and can't be seen."

Tang Ning always felt that something was wrong when she heard it, "You seem to have raised an extra child?" ”

Ming Lanying thought about it, and it seemed that she did think a little.

Hebai was naughty and active, scurrying around, either to learn from Taiyi and them, or to go to Fan Yue for a drink, or to train the Praetorian Guards in the camp of the Praetorian Guard.

Shan Zhao is sensible and likes little cubs, he can soak in the Hundred Beasts Garden for a day, and the two will fight and quarrel when they meet, and the two of them are like naïve ghosts who have not grown up, and they are more naïve than Ning'er.

Ming Lan Ying: "......"

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, and sighed, "Shan Zhao, this kid is indeed quite like Hebai, he is very grinning and loves to laugh, he bought him with a meal, and now he is happy to live in the palace." ”

Tang Ningle was happy, and counted with his fingers, "First of all, you have a Ning'er, Ning'er is well-behaved, sensible and cute, you don't have to worry about everything, but Ning'er is still young and needs to be pulled big; And then you also have a crane white, although crane white is now a female general, but the playful and mischievous nature is still there, and there are a lot of words, just like the second child in the family who wants to get your attention; Now there is another Shan Zhao, although Shan Zhao has just arrived, and he still has a marriage contract with Hebai, but he has obviously integrated into this palace, and he is also a talkative, and he is used to plush cubs, just like the third child in the family. ”

Feng Chun laughed and said: "The princess now has three unconscious monkey children, and the palace is lively." ”

Ming Lanying held her forehead with a headache, "Shan Zhao was a little naïve except for the confrontation with Hebai, but he was fine at other times." ”

Tang Ning smiled, "I haven't seen Shan Zhao yet, since he is now soaking in the Hundred Beast Garden, I'll know when I see him when I have dinner later." ”

Ye Jielu is not in the court now, and the things in his hands have been handed over one by one, he is currently a dissipated prince, but if there is something, he will be called into the palace to help, and the matter of the next empress of the neighboring country is still being discussed in the past two days, Ming Lanying met the golden eagle who was in love a while ago, and asked it to accompany Chunfen to a neighboring country for a honeymoon, and by the way, find out some news.

Maybe today's discussion came to a little result, Ye Jielu came back before lunch, knowing that Tang Ning and Fengchun would come today, he said hello first, changed his clothes and came out to accompany Ming Lanying to entertain guests.

Tang Ning saw that after he came back, he stayed quietly by Ming Lanying's side and served, not at all ruthless outside, and sighed in surprise, after all, she was the person she once liked as a life-saving benefactor, seeing Ye Jielu skillfully serving her good sister drinking tea and wiping her hands and peeling melon seeds, her mood was still a little subtle, a little ...... Cool for the sisters.

The lunch was prepared by Ming Lanying in advance to teach the cook, and before it was ready, Ming Lanying asked Ye Jielu about the discussion, Tang Ning had a special identity, and Ye Jielu did not hide it.

"Someone has been sent to find out the truth, the crown prince is ambitious, and there is also the possibility that she will do it in secret, and it will take some time to confirm, but the borders adjacent to neighboring countries will be more vigilant."

"The borders of the neighbouring countries? Isn't it just a side plug? ”

Ye Juelu nodded, "Yes, the emperor gave me the Biansai fiefdom at the earliest, and it also meant that I should guard the Biansai, the princes and princesses of the neighboring countries are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have always been eyeing our territory, and no matter who is on the throne, it will provoke a struggle between the two countries." ”

As soon as Tang Ning heard it, she knew that it was the royal family of a neighboring country, and it just so happened that she had come back from a neighboring country from this business trip, and she had also heard about it.

"In the fall, it was rumored that their empress was assassinated, but the assassins didn't succeed, and now this is when they start fighting for the crown?"

Ye Jielu shook his head, "It's hard to say." ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, as if she understood Ye Juelu's meaning, "It's just a matter of fighting for the prince, is it terrible to fight for the throne?" ”

Ye Jielu nodded, "Fighting for the prince is the struggle of the prince and the princess, and fighting for the imperial power is killing the king." ”

Ming Lanying was dumbfounded, it was the emperor of this country who was too affectionate, so that she forgot that the emperor family in the world was the most ruthless.

Tang Ning is not surprised at all, she has some business experience in traveling from south to north, and she knows some customs of other countries.

Ming Lanying muttered to herself, "But aren't they blood relatives?" ”

Feng Chun explained: "Neighboring countries do not pay attention to the difference between men and women, whether it is a prince or a princess, those who have the ability can be emperors, each of them will leave a lot of heirs, and the nine sons are already a terrible situation of blood for us, but for neighboring countries, the nineteen sons are just a small scene, not to mention that now the empress is under her knees, counting the twenty-six princes and princesses who have succeeded, and the battle is really a river of blood, and the princess should not be surprised." ”

Ye Jielu knew that Ming Lanying was not a native, so he reached out to hold her hand and squeezed it comfortingly, "They are in chaos, it is also an opportunity for us, the royal family is in chaos, there is no backbone, there is no time to take care of the border city, it is a good time for us to capture." ”

Ming Lanying was stunned for a moment, and Tang Ning smiled, "My grandfather said that the emperors of all dynasties have guarded the country and the country, which is to let the next emperor have more confidence to expand the territory, the territory is vast, the country is rich and the people are strong, which is the foundation of a strong country." ”

Ming Lanying understood, and smiled, "That's right, it's just that Prince Heng tried to collude with neighboring countries to rebel before, and the empress specially wrote to remind her that this person is ......."

The corners of Ye Jielu's mouth raised slightly, "We donated medicine to save her life first, and only then did she refuse Prince Heng and return the favor with a letter, so that she could sit in that position until now, and now the two countries do not owe each other." ”

Ming Lanying suddenly realized that she almost forgot that it was the golden eagle who made a mistake to let them give the medicine first, and the empress returned the favor.

Otherwise, the empress would have colluded with Prince Heng a long time ago, and then cut off the city and then turned around to attack them, they were all emperors, if it weren't for the favor owed to them first, the two countries would have fought when Prince Heng rebelled.

Tang Ning also knew about Prince Heng's rebellion, but she only received a letter from her family and Ming Lanying afterwards, and she had no choice but to write a letter to say hello in a foreign country.

Tang Ning sighed, "I was scared to death when I received your letter, but fortunately you are fine, I will go out for a year, and the capital has almost changed." ”

Ming Lanying smiled and patted her hands, "Listening to the queen mother, your sister's first thought at that time was that she was afraid that you would be affected outside. ”

Tang Ning and her sister have the best relationship, so the Tang family has been turning a blind eye to Tang Ning over the years.

Tang Ning smiled, "She was afraid that something would happen to me outside her nose since she was a child, but then she knew that the queen mother gave birth to the little prince at such a dangerous time, and my sister was surprised and delighted. ”

Ming Lanying shook her head helplessly, she didn't dare to take this credit, as if she remembered something, she turned her head and asked Ye Juelu, "Since the two countries don't owe each other now, why don't we help each other and let the empress owe us favors again?" ”

Tang Ning smiled and nodded her face, "Are you stupid?" The empress is seventy-six years old this year, and even if we help her, she will not be able to sit as emperor for a few years, and her favor will not be enough, so what do we bother to do. ”

Ming Lanying was shocked, she thought that the empress was only fifty or sixty, and she could fight for a few years, but she didn't expect that she would be seventy-six this year!

Ye Jielu poured tea for her, brought it to her hand, and said in a deep voice: "The empress of the neighboring country should have been stabbed by Xing, and she was struggling to hold on, it is useless for us to help each other at this time, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for the opportunity to send troops." ”

Ming Lanying silently took a sip of hot tea and sighed, "I'm really not suitable for these." ”

For national events, she didn't even collect the most basic information, and she still didn't care about these brain-consuming things.

Tang Ning bent his eyebrows, "Just let your man think about this, what do you care!" ”

Ye Jielu was refreshed by this call, and looked at Ming Lanying with bright eyes.

Ming Lanying's cheeks were hot when she was looked at by the scorching eyes that could not be ignored, and she reached out to push Ye Jielu's face away, and diverted the topic, "It's almost time for dinner, go and see if the kitchen is okay." ”

Seeing that she was shy, Ye Juelu turned his head without a trace and wiped a kiss on her fingertips, "Okay." ”

After Ye Jielu left, Tang Ning and Feng Chuncai glanced at each other, and were so sweet that they breathed in by the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Ming Lanying: "......" old face is red!

The subordinates were putting the food on the table, Ye Jielu went to the martial arts field to catch his son and Shan Zhao, Hebai happened to come back with the meal, and Steward Wang came over to invite them to the dining room.

Tang Ning officially met Shan Zhao and had a good first impression of this sunny and cheerful boy who loves to laugh.

Shan Zhao smiled and greeted Tang Ning, and praised Tang Ning's beauty, Hebai couldn't help but pick a thorn in the yin and yang weirdness, and mocked.

"Sister Tang Ning is hearty and generous, you haven't seen such a beautiful girl at the border, right? It's pathetic. ”

Shan Zhao couldn't bear it, and Hebai said three sentences back.

"I have never seen anyone more beautiful than the princess and Sister Tang, I have seen a lot of you at the border, the eyes are average, the nose is average, the face is average, and the martial arts are average, not rare."

"Joke! Blind your dog's eyes can't see the beauty of your aunt! My aunt's appearance is approved by my sister-in-law! Just a crooked melon and cracked jujube like you are not worthy of my aunt and grandmother! If you want to compete, just say it, and when you finish eating, your aunt and grandmother are looking for teeth all over the ground! ”

"Hah! Just you? Master, I'll fight two with one hand! I don't want to stick upside down like you, I am a flower on the border! The princess kindly said that you look like a person, you take it seriously, don't put too much gold on your face, the cub's thick eyebrows and big eyes are beautiful and smooth are better than you! ”

Tang Ning saw how naïve the two of them could be, and the two of them did not misunderstand and dispute now, only purely unpleasant.

From appearance attacks to nail details, even eating is faster than who grabs it, and it is good to boast.

Ming Lanying helplessly pulled Tang Ning and the stunned Feng Chun to sit down, "We eat ours, don't worry about them." ”

Ning Er obediently poured milk tea for the two, "Sister Tang Ning, Sister Fengchun, try the sweet milk tea made by my mother, it's delicious!" ”

Tang Ning took a sip of hot milk tea when she heard this, the milk fragrance was rich, with a greasy tea fragrance, and just the right amount of sweetness.

Tang Ning and Feng Chun's eyes lit up, and Feng Chun admired, "I have accompanied Miss to so many places, and I have also drunk salty milk tea, I feel that it has a different flavor, but I can't get used to it, I didn't find sweet milk tea that is so delicious, it's completely different!" ”

Tang Ning drank most of the bowl first, "Sure enough, what Lan Ying makes is delicious, and you have to have at least two meals a year to be complete!" ”

Ming Lanying couldn't cry or laugh, and used chopsticks to pick up vegetables for the two of them, "Then eat more, otherwise they will be robbed by those two." ”

Ming Lanying gave Tang Ning and Fengchun vegetables, Ye Jielu left her and Ning Er's vegetables, and several people were very happy to eat, and the sound of Hebai and Shan Zhao's bickering became a lively background sound.
