Ning Ji reacted for a moment, the Xianyan King had three sons, Yan Yunzhou was the second, and there was also a deceased son, and the eldest lady in Yan Hewen's mouth should be the former princess.

Ning Ji wiped his hands, or was about to ask Yan Yunzhou, if this thing was really from the princess, I am afraid that the next person would not be able to ask for it directly, or Yan Yunzhou would come forward, and it was best to let him see if it was made of agar powder.

Before entering Yan Yunzhou's house, Ning Ji deliberately changed into a clean coat, which could cover the smell of garlic, Yan Yunzhou at this moment appeared in the room again two dark-faced men disguised as small servants, at first glance, they were people in the army, he was about to quit immediately, but as soon as he showed up, he was already seen by Yan Yunzhou, Yan Yunzhou slightly hooked his hand and ordered some cold tea on the side, Ning Yun looked at the house, and there was not even a small servant who was waiting, he had to go forward to change the hot tea.

I heard the man with a somewhat rough face standing in front of Yan Yunzhou speak:

"Lord Wang, King Jingjun secretly sent some grain and grass, there is no problem after next month, but the follow-up is also difficult, and there are many complaints in the army because the court has repeatedly not paid food, before Li Hong and others deliberately talked about the serious illness of the prince in the army, and now some people in the army are fluctuating."

Since Yan Yunzhou defeated Beimu three years ago, the imperial court has been in arrears for the supply of grain and grass in the north, this time it is the longest, and it is winter, and there are rumors that Yan Yunzhou is seriously ill, and many guards in the north are kicking at the moment.

Although there is still some distance between the north and the capital, the news that Yan Yunzhou was given marriage a while ago still reached the border pass, and another person next to him continued to speak, his tone full of anger:

"Lord Wang, this time the one in the palace is too much, and he actually gave you a marriage to a big evil star, which clearly wants to kill you."

When he heard the three words of the Great Evil Star, Ning Blame's hands shook, how could his reputation spread now? Yan Yunzhou raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Qi, who was shrinking his sense of existence on the side, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes:

"The one in the palace is not looking forward to the death of this king for a day or two."

"Lord Wang, you must be careful of the prince of the Hou Mansion who came over, I heard that people from the Hou Mansion of Ning'an have often entered the palace recently."

The person who spoke was Wu Shen, the deputy general who had followed Yan Yunzhou for many years, and the Wu family also had some connections in the capital, and there were also mentions in the capital in ordinary family books, and it was not uncommon for him to know that Ning Anhou often entered the palace, Ning Yi frowned, and it seemed that the cheap father had done a lot of things for the emperor during this time.

Ning blamed the fact that he had been unkempt and unkempt for the past few days for the experiment, and he was wearing some coarse cloth clothes, and he was afraid that those gorgeous clothes would be damaged, so Wu Shen only regarded him as a servant in Yan Yunzhou's room, and he didn't associate him with the Hou Mansion Great Evil Star at all, and he was still telling Yan Yunzhou to be careful of him.

Ning Qi poured the tea and was about to put it on the table in front of Yan Yunzhou, when he saw the man reach out to take it, he handed over the tea cup with both hands, Yan Yunzhou lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and casually pointed at Ning Qi and said:

"This is the prince of the Marquis of Ning'an, the concubine married by this king, these are the two lieutenants of this king, Wu Shen and Lu Ming, the first time they met, you can also get to know each other."

For a moment, these six eyes looked at each other, Qi Qi was shocked, is there anything more embarrassing than the scene where you say that people are evil stars in front of others? Wu Shen didn't bite his tongue, Lu Ming's eyes widened, and Ning Ji looked at the two generals who were staring at him subconsciously and said:

"Hey."

After saying this, he himself died, damn it, what is he talking about?

Two people on the other side...?

Yan Yunzhou half-turned his head and blocked the smile on his lips with the teacup, but Ning Zhi was the first to react, and hugged his fists to salute:

"The two generals are polite, and my father of the Hou Mansion sells his son for glory..."

Ning Yao's experience was simply sad to see tears, he was treated badly to grow up, and when he grew up, he became a bargaining chip on the scumbag father, a prince of the Hou Mansion is not as good as a subordinate, plus he can serve in the house Compared to the prince, the background is also clear, the two lieutenants immediately lowered their precautions against Ning Qi, both of them got up and greeted Ning Qi, the martial artist is more straightforward, once he determines that there is no problem, the attitude is also very enthusiastic:

"There are many offends, don't take it to heart, I brought a lot of good wine from the border pass, wait a minute, I'll have people send it to the princess."

The corners of Ning's lips twitched, and the princess of GodTM...

When it was almost dinner, Yan Yunzhou left the two deputy generals to eat in the mansion, and when he was at the table, he spoke:

"The matter of food and salary will be decided in a few days, you can go back with confidence and tell the generals in the army that the king's body is fine, don't worry."

Ning Ji looked at Yan Yunzhou and naturally didn't say anything, he suddenly felt that Yan Yunzhou was also very difficult in this position, sighed and buried himself in eating, after the meal, the two generals went to the side hall to rest, and Yan Yunzhou instead waited for someone to change his clothes and tie his hair and wear a crown:

"The prince wants to go out?"

Yan Yunzhou changed into a wide-sleeved tunic with dark moire, which made his waist thinner, and then he turned around:

"Coming to me for something?"

The two lieutenant generals didn't bother to ask Ning Qi why he came over, he was busy during the day for the past few days, and Ning Qi remembered what he wanted to ask and said:

"Oh, I want to ask the prince if there is a plate of snacks in the house that day that is a little transparent, and there are plum blossoms on it? Who did it? ”

Ask for dim sew? Yan Yunzhou thought for a moment before remembering what Ning Ji said.

"It was brought over when Ji'er came over that day, maybe it was made by my sister-in-law, what's the matter? Do you like to eat? ”

Ning Ji was a little hesitant, the defense of men and women in this era is still very serious, and he went directly to ask Yan Yunzhou's widowed sister-in-law for a snack is really not a very good thing:

"Lord Wang, I want to know what the raw materials of that snack are, it's best to bring some, can you ask the prince to send a female envoy to help me ask the eldest lady?"

Ning Qi often asked for some strange things, there were so many garlic in front of Yan Yunzhou It was much easier for Yan Yunzhou to accept this dim sum raw material.

"I'm going to my sister-in-law's yard, you can follow along."

Ning Ji looked at Yan Yunzhou's outing, is he going to Haitang Garden? However, he didn't meddle and asked Yan Yunzhou what he was going to do, and was about to go out with him, when he saw Yan Yunzhou turn around and look at him and speak:

"Go change your clothes, don't be rude."

Now, although Yan Yunzhou is in charge of the house in this Flame King's Mansion, Yan Yunzhou also respects his eldest sister-in-law very much, because he has never been married before, so the middle feed in the mansion is still in charge of the eldest lady, but she rarely goes out, and most of the time on weekdays is in Haitang Garden.

Ning Qi went back to the room and asked Tao Yue to help him find a snow-blue tunic to change into, and straighten his hair before going out with Yan Yunzhou.

Although they all live in the same house, perhaps in order to avoid suspicion, the eldest lady's Begonia Garden and Fenghua Courtyard are far apart, almost one is in the east and the other is in the west, Yan Yunzhou has an injury in the leg, and there is a sedan chair outside, after Yan Yunzhou sat in, he still hooked his hand at the person who looked inside outside, and Ning Yi immediately sat in.

Begonia Garden is very fresh and elegant, there are two snowmen piled under the plum tree in the yard, simple and cute, Yan Yunzhou's sedan chair has just fallen at the gate of the yard, and two children ran out of the house, the girl is wearing a red jacket, a circle of white rabbit fur on the neckline, a round face, eyes like black grapes, behind her is a boy who is half a head taller than her, wearing a dark blue coat, and his eyebrows and eyes are very heroic.

"Second uncle, second uncle is here."

Ning Zhi got off the sedan chair and helped Yan Yunzhou, Yan Yunzhou just came out of the sedan chair The two children ran to him, the little girl was young and very slimy, and when she came over, she pulled Yan Yunzhou's sleeve, but the eldest son of the eldest brother behind Yan Xincheng already had a bit of an adult's appearance, although he still wanted to come up with that look, but he still saluted Yan Yunzhou in a proper manner:

"Second uncle."

He loves Yan Yunzhou's two eldest brothers very much, and he personally inquired about Yan Xincheng's riding and archery kung fu before the injury on his body recurred, but there was nothing he could do about the little niece who was pulling his clothes and didn't let go, and it was the first time that Ning Ji saw such a relaxed and warm smile on Yan Yunzhou's face.

When I went in with the two children, I saw a woman in the hall with her hair in a bun, only a simple hairpin ring and an elegant woman, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, but there was a fixed color that could not be concealed, she looked a few years older than Yan Yunzhou, this was the first time Ning Ji saw Yan Yunzhou and greeted people:

"Sister-in-law."

The original princess Cheng Qingqian and the prince of the Flame King Mansion have known each other since childhood, and Yan Yunzhou's eldest brother is five years older than him, so when Cheng Qingqian got married, Yan Yunzhou was still a hairy boy who was making trouble everywhere, and now he never imagined that the person who supported this Flame King Mansion would be Yan Yunzhou in the end.

"Jin Chu, is your body better?"

Yan Yunzhou's character was at the beginning, but now that it is counted, there are very few people who can call this name.

"Much better, sister-in-law, this is Ning's fault."

Yan Yunzhou's tone of introduction was quite natural, Cheng Qingqian looked over, although she didn't deliberately inquire about the things in Yan Yunzhou's yard, but she also knew about such a big thing before, but Yan Yunzhou specially brought someone over today, she didn't expect it, Ning Ji was also stunned, and didn't even know what it was called, Yan Yunzhou looked sideways:

"This is my sister-in-law."

Ning Yi could only follow along:

"Sister-in-law, polite."

Cheng Qingqian looked at the appearance between the two, pursed the corners of his lips, and raised his hand to let the two sit down:

"It's all a family, you're welcome, Jinchu, it's good for you to send someone over to talk about the birthday banquet, why do you still have to run by yourself when it's so cold outside."

Birthday party? Ning Qi didn't know what the two were talking about, Yan Yunzhou sat in the next position:

"Sister-in-law, this time I will send the post to the officials of the various provinces in the capital, there will be a lot of people coming, and I will have to bother my sister-in-law when the time comes."

"It's nothing, I'm idle on weekdays, it's just that you don't want to hold a birthday banquet every year, why this year?"

Cheng Qingqian's words were a little late, and it was difficult to hide her worry between her eyebrows, Yan Yunzhou's physical condition she also knew, he didn't like these vulgar etiquette in the past, and he didn't forget it when he celebrated his birthday at the border in previous years, or he was too lazy to handle this, this morning Yan Hewen came over to spread the word that Yan Yunzhou was going to hold a birthday banquet this year, she thought she had heard it wrong, and then the uneasiness in her heart was even greater, she was afraid that Yan Yunzhou felt that it was not good to have any other thoughts.

Cheng Qingqian's voice fell, and even Ning Yi looked at Yan Yunzhou, is Yan Yunzhou going to have a birthday? Although he didn't know how Yan Yunzhou had spent his life in previous years, from what he had learned during this time, he could guess that Yan Yunzhou's personality was not like a person who would put on a banquet for his birthday every year.

In an instant, his mind flashed the pictures of those family members in countless wards celebrating the last birthday of terminally ill patients, although he had been a doctor for so many years, but every time he saw such a picture, Ning Ji couldn't be indifferent in his heart, could it be that Yan Yunzhou wanted to give himself his last birthday? His eyes unconsciously brought a little sadness, sympathy, worry and disapproval.

Yan Yunzhou just put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Cheng Qingqian and Ning Qi's frowns, and knew that they were thinking of a fork, and he sighed a little funny:

"The northern military expenses of the imperial court have been reluctant to allocate for a long time, and even if they will give it later, they will always have to wait for a while, which of the courtiers I invite to the banquet will not give me this prince as a gift?"

Cheng Qingqian...

Rather...

Is this preparing to hold a birthday banquet to collect gifts to make up for military expenses? Ning took a sip of the tea on the side, and secretly sighed that the worried emotion he had just now was really a waste of emotion and a mistake.

Cheng Qingqian relaxed:

"I see, you just post a post, and the birthday banquet in this house will be handed over to me."

Before leaving, Yan Yunzhou spoke:

"By the way, sister-in-law, Ning Ji said that the exquisite dim sum you made before was delicious, do you want to ask?"

Cheng Qingqian looked at it, and would rather blame... These words were said as if he were greedy:

"Sister-in-law, I want to ask if that thing is made of a kind of powder? Anything else? ”

Cheng Qingqian asked the personal maid next to him to take the leftover pastries from the last time:

"This is made with foreign vegetable powder, Ning Gongzi likes to eat more, so take more."

Ning Qi immediately went to check the pastry, agar powder is a kind of gum extracted from the red algae cauliflower, it is indeed called foreign cabbage powder in some places, his eyes lit up after seeing it, originally he was worried that if he wanted to make an agar petri dish, he might need to find the cauliflower, but now it is no effort to get it.

"Sister-in-law, do you still have this cabbage powder? Can I bring some back? ”

"Naturally, I have a lot of this stuff here, and I'll have someone send it to your yard."

Rather than be satisfied.

In the early court of the next day, because Li Qi ordered the three imperial historians to go to the north to investigate Li Hong's matter yesterday, it was regarded as a public refutation of Yan Yunzhou's face, but this seemed to be the emperor's reply, but many people were waiting for Yan Yunzhou's reaction.

Just when the courtiers were whispering, it was played again:

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan Yunzhou sent the officials in the palace to start playing."

Li Qi clenched his fists tightly, he didn't believe it, Yan Yunzhou still dared to prevent them from going to the northern realm according to the three imperial histories? As long as he goes, if Yushi really dies in the north, then the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will inevitably criticize Yan Yunzhou, and the spit of the group of people in Yushitai alone can drown Yan Yunzhou, if they can come back, then the investigation result of these three Yushi must be that Zhou Mu's death has nothing to do with Li Hong and others, and Li Hong's death can at least pull down the Yanbei general who is on the fold.

Yan Hewen walked to the court hall with the fold in his hand as he did the day before, knelt down and saluted the saint of the day, the moment he appeared in the court on behalf of Yan Yunzhou, the courtiers in the government hall were all looking at their noses and noses, and when they saw him, they knew that this matter might not be good, Li Qi looked at him coldly:

"What else does Prince Flame have to play today?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan played the impeachment of Gao Bin, Gao Cheng, and Ji Lin, because these three adults are in the position of imperial history but failed to carry out the responsibility of picketing hundreds of officials."

When his question fell, Wei Zhenhe spoke:

"Prince Yan has been recuperating for a long time, yesterday His Majesty just sent three imperial historians to the north to investigate, and today Prince Flame impeached the three imperial historians, what is this intention? As a first-class prince, Prince Yan disrespects His Majesty and is arbitrary, what is his intention? ”

Yan Hewen was not frightened by him, his face did not change for a moment, he unfolded Yan Yunzhou's fold, and said loudly:

"There are two reasons for the impeachment of the three imperial histories, one of which is that the first emperor ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and now His Majesty has succeeded to the great unification, and there is still the queen mother in the palace, even if the palace is built, the queen mother should be respected first, and Gao Bin wrote in March this year to bewitch His Majesty to build Zixuan Pavilion for the noble concubine, and did not first repair the Yunhua Palace where the queen mother lived.

Yan Hewen held the fold and spoke again:

"Second, the soldiers in the north are bitter and cold, and the household servants ignore the suffering of the border soldiers who are hungry, and bewitch Your Majesty to press the military expenses in the north, and spend a huge amount of money to build the Imperial Palace, the three imperial histories, one has never advised His Majesty, and the other has not picketed the courtiers, and the two crimes are also, and the two crimes should not be forgiven.

Yan Hewen closed the fold, Li Qi's face was so heavy that ink could drip out, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were once again silent, Yan Yunzhou's two crimes, although they were impeaching these three imperial histories, but in fact they were openly slapping His Majesty in the face.

In the first half of the year, it is a fact that His Majesty repaired the palace for the noble concubine, disrespecting his mother, and violating filial piety, but he can't avoid this one, the first emperor is indeed the most benevolent and filial piety, not to mention that although the current Empress Dowager Su is closed, the Su family behind her is still there, and Mrs. Su is still in the court, this crime has no room for refutation at all, no one thought that Yan Yunzhou would talk about the ancestral etiquette.

The second item, which is the impeachment of the three imperial histories, that is to impeach all the people who drum that His Majesty built the Imperial Palace, and even point the finger at Your Majesty, everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knows what His Majesty is dragging military expenses for, but there are some things that cannot be said on the surface.
