Chapter 43: And the Mud

The painting was not ultimately sent to the Zhenguo Mansion. Ning Guogong pressed down. He sat on the top and said majestically: "If you draw wrong, if there happens to be someone similar to these eyes, there will be an unjust, false and wrongful case." ”

He shook his head, "It's not right. ”

The feast bell knew that the painting was going to be confiscated. It is true that more is better than less, and she understands this truth. The fifth girl sighed, but there was nothing to be done, everyone in the family had to listen to her father.

Then it's none of their business. She picked up the teacup and drank tea, hiding her eyebrows and eyes, so as not to let people see her regrets.

The feast bell secretly looked at the third cousin at this time. She noticed that the third cousin had a strange look on his face and eyes after his uncle said, "This matter is not appropriate".

What does that look like...... It's a lot like sir. It's like a gentleman thinking about things.

Ay! She's so stunned!

She withdrew her gaze and lowered her head, trying to restrain herself from looking at her third cousin. But I still couldn't hold back, and I looked at it like a thief sneakily: It's still like ah.

Ning Shuo didn't notice the gaze of the feast bell. He sat in the chair and said nothing, but remembered his father's evaluation of Ning Guogong.

"A loyal minister, but also a middle minister, for the prince, it is not credible and cannot be co-opted, but one day the prince's affairs are in his hands, don't worry, he will stand in the middle and the mud, and will not betray the prince."

"Then what if King Jin's affairs come into his hands?"

"Naturally, I will also be with the mud, and I will not betray King Jin."

This kind of temperament is actually not only reflected in state affairs, he is also the same at home - he has been in the Li family and the old lady for so many years, and he has recently been forced to make a choice.

Ning Shuo also took a sip of the teacup: I don't know the grievances of the Sui family, whether he knows it or not, if he knows, will he reveal some news?

He was thinking about things, but he didn't notice the feast bell. But he was extremely sensitive to her gaze, and as soon as he put down the teacup, he immediately saw her eyes.

He was a little helpless: fortunately, he gave birth to an excellent appearance, which made such a sneaky act soft and glutinous, coquettish, cute and naughty, otherwise it must be a thief's eyebrows.

He was helpless, and the feast bell felt even more like it. She was inexplicably happy and empty-hearted, and quickly stopped looking at it, still a little embarrassed in her heart - always seeing her cousin as a gentleman was actually disrespectful to her cousin.

Because it will make her pour her feelings for her husband into her cousin. For example, just now she felt that her cousin looked like a husband, and when her cousin looked at her, it was as if her husband looked at her, and she couldn't help but think of her cousin as a husband.

In this way, she hoped that her cousin would be more like her husbandβ€”her cousin liked to eat bean cakes, and his husband did not, and now that his cousin was taking a piece of bean cakes to eat, she wanted his cousin to put down the bean cakes.

- Don't eat it, sir doesn't like it.

She was startled by the thought that popped into her head. It turned from embarrassment to self-blame and embarrassment. My cousin is so good, she is offending people with this thought.

She felt that her sins were so heinous and culpable that she couldn't lift her head. It's hard to be ashamed.

Although Ning Shuo didn't know why she was suddenly like this, she was a little funny. She has been like this since she was a child, when she feels that she has made a mistake, she hangs her head down and does not look at him, and the greater the mistake she makes, the lower her head hangs.

Now that they're all older, how can they look like a child. But for a moment, she felt that she had made a mistake?

Seems to have been watching him all the time? What did you do to be sorry for him?

He remained silent and said, "Father, since this is the case, then let the Zhenguo Mansion solve it by itself, it's not good for us to meddle too much." ”

Zhen Guogong nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

So they scattered, walked, and the five girls went out with the hand of the feast bell. If you want to go out, you naturally have to look at the road, her head was raised, she didn't look at him, she hurried out, and when she passed by him, she also quickened her pace and walked a few steps quickly, and her steps were floating, and she was very embarrassed.

Ning Shuo was really curious: What did this girl do to lose so much?

But you can't ask at this time. He put down his teacup, straightened his sleeves, and stood up to leave. As soon as he got up, he was stopped by Ning Guogong and said, "Shuo'er, you and Chen'er are both staying." ”

Fourth Young Master Ning's single name is a morning character.

Second Young Master Ning naturally stayed, and it became the opinion of the men in the mansion on today's birthday banquet.

Ning Guogong didn't ask them about their speculation about the man in black today, but asked himself: "King Jin and Princess Jin didn't come to the birthday banquet today, what do you think?" ”

Second Young Master Ning: "I heard before that the old lady of Zhenguo Gong didn't do a birthday banquet, and my son thought that the reason why Zhenguo Gong chose not to do it was because he was afraid of causing more trouble, after all, now the prince and the king of Jin are fighting in full swing, and there are too many things that can be born at a birthday banquet." ”

For example, if it is bigger, the emperor doesn't like it, saying that it is extravagant and extravagant, and if it is smaller, the emperor doesn't like it, saying that it is pretending - these are all words that the emperor scolded for the prince's birthday banquet.

So Zhenguo Gong simply didn't do it, who knew that the emperor wanted him to do it for his old mother?

The emperor personally sent gifts, all the princes went, and the big and small officials also went, but the king of Jin did not go, but the people of the king of Jin and his faction went a lot.

Fourth Young Master Ning said, "Is King Jin expressing his dissatisfaction with His Majesty?" ”

Second Young Master Ning frowned, "Father, I still think that His Majesty is trying to make trouble. If he is dissatisfied with the prince's talent and virtue, it would be good if he abolished the king of Lijin. But he didn't abolish the prince, and after the family was destroyed, he supported the prince who had lost one of his arms to fight with the king of Jinβ€”β€”"

"In this way, the crown prince and the king of Jin already hate Your Majesty. If King Jin doesn't go today, isn't he expressing dissatisfaction with His Majesty? ”

Ning Guogong sighed, "Yes...... King Jin didn't even hide it. ”

Fourth Young Master Ning took a deep breath, "Father, didn't you say that Your Majesty is the most wise and martial artist?" How could he be like this...... So ......"

So mediocre.

He didn't dare to say it, but Ning Shuo said it for him in his heart.

Ning Guogong noticed that his expression moved, so he took the initiative to ask him, "Shuo'er, tell me your opinion." ”

Ning Shuo didn't hide it, he said: "Father, there is no master in the harem yet. ”

Ning Guogong originally just wanted to hear his opinion, but he didn't pay attention to it, so he picked up the teacup and drank tea to moisten his throat. Who knew he was coming with such a sentence.

He almost choked and looked up, "What did you say?" ”

Ning Shuo: "Father, since the death of the first queen, His Majesty has never had a queen, even if King Jin is so favored, his biological mother is still only a concubine." ”

Ning Guogong's face was solemn, "And then?" ”

Ning Shuo: "Your Majesty is always kind to the crown prince and the king of Jin, it seems that there is no rhythm, but if you think about it, there are actually some rules that can be explored. ”

He said: "When the crown prince is weak, Your Majesty will grace the king of Jin, and when the king of Jin is weak, Your Majesty will grace the prince...... This time, let the Zhenguo Mansion hold a birthday banquet, it is His Majesty's grace to the prince, such a grand event, His Majesty heard about it in the deep palace, and he will be very pleased, and he will definitely feel pity when he hears that King Jin did not go and is alone at home. ”

Fourth Young Master Ning frowned, "If King Jin doesn't go, how can he feel pity?" Isn't it time to be angry? ”

Ning Shuo shook his head, "No, only pity." ”

Ning Guogong's face turned red when he heard this. He has been in the court for a long time, and he is His Majesty's confidant, how can he not know His Majesty's thoughts? His Majesty's mind was just as Ning Shuo said.

He thought that even Chao'er was wrong, and the other two should be wrong.

Who knew Shuo'er was right. He said: "Indeed, Your Majesty's temperament should still be pity. And as long as the King of Jin is 'weak' well, I am afraid that the concubine can get the position of queen. ”

Fourth Young Master Ning was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Ning Guogong looked at Ning Shuo, Ning Shuo: "What else can the King of Jin seal?" There is no identity left as a son-in-law. Otherwise, if he continues to fight, his glory will always be suppressed by the prince, and those who follow him will be shaken. ”

Fourth Young Master Ning's face turned angry when he heard this, "What about the prince?" Didn't this move shake the prince's military heart? ”

Ning Shuo's voice became colder and colder, "Your Majesty doesn't care. If you care about it in the future, it's good to abolish the queen again. ”

The concubine has a human life on her hands.

Ning Guogong found that his son was actually not staying, not to mention not staying, he was simply extremely smart!

Okay, okay, he said, how could his son Ning Guogong be stupid, sure enough, he grew up and became enlightened.

"But how do you think of these things?" he asked. ”

Shuo'er has never met His Majesty, nor has she ever been in contact with the affairs of the court.

Ning Shuo: "Your Majesty, the temperament and grievances of the crown prince and the king of Jin have been discussed many times in private in the school, and everyone knows it. Moreover, the son is just pushing himself and others. ”

Ning Guogong was curious, "Oh? Push yourself and others? ”

Ning Shuo: "Yes, the son has watched his father's methods between his grandmother and mother for more than ten years, and he has also seen a little way, so he naturally knows. It's nothing more than giving my mother a string of beads this time, and a bracelet for my grandmother next time. ”

Ning Guogong: "......"

Cough!

He scolded: "Nonsense! ”

He didn't. It's just a means.

Ning Shuo said lightly: "Why doesn't Your Majesty think like this? He didn't know what he was doing wrong, he thought it was just a means, and it was right. Moreover, he also felt that he loved the prince and the king of Jin very much, just as his father felt that he respected his grandmother and mother very much. ”
