The title pool responded, so he simply stopped in Xingguang for a day.

Song Xuan used the excuse that he couldn't get out of the barracks, so he only sent his lieutenant general to the city gate to greet him. Ning Xun was not surprised, and went straight into the city.

Approaching the evening, Song Xuan came belatedly and came to visit.

He came by coincidence, and Ning Xun was delayed outside. After listening to the rumor, he thought that he still had to thank him again in person, so he went to the main hall.

As soon as she came over, before she could salute, Song Xuan waved his hand: "Thank you and you will be exempted, but I just have something to ask you about." ”

Rao said this, and the rank pool still bowed.

"Your temperament is not suitable for staying in the palace walls, if you really follow the prince, in a few years, the three palaces and six courtyards will ......" Song Xuan sighed and shook his head: "You have to be wronged." ”

But she only smiled—she didn't want to talk too soon.

But Song Xuan obviously misunderstood what she meant, and said with a hearty smile: "If you are afraid that he will not let him go, in this way, how about I accept you as a righteous daughter?" ”

The emperor was already jealous of Song Xuan's close relationship with the crown prince, if he really accepted her as a righteous daughter, she would have to choose her husband-in-law, but it would never be Ning Xun - he didn't even have to say or do anything by himself, the emperor would immediately think of separating the two.

"General Song's kindness, Lone substitute Chi Xin received." Ning Xun's voice was slightly cold, and before she could turn around, he was already standing beside her, holding the person intimately.

Song Xuan saluted him, then looked up at him, and his words had a deep meaning: "Your Highness, in the past few years, don't come unharmed." ”

Title Chi glanced between the two of them, coughed twice at the right time, and retreated first.

They must have something to say, whether it is good or not, she stays here, and people can't let go.

Because it was not far away, Ning Xun sent her over first. He hugged her and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it, there are no three palaces and six courtyards, not now, and there will be no in the future." ”

"You alone are enough in this life."

Jackie laughed, smoothing out the folds in his shirt, "I know. ”

She deserved it quickly, but he didn't let it go, grabbing her wrist, "Just know? ”

After being together for so long, she has already figured out his temperament - for example, at this moment, it is vinegar, and the reason for vinegar is most likely that she has asked others to marry her.

He scratched the back of his hand twice and said softly, "Me too." Except for Ah Xun, no one else will think about it. ”

As soon as the words fell, I immediately saw a smile on the corner of his eyebrow.

This night, Ning Xun didn't come back until dawn.

At this time, the title pool was sleeping lightly, and as soon as he got on the bed, she woke up slightly, subconsciously leaned into his arms and hugged the person, and only said in a daze: "You are back." ”

She didn't know what the two of them had talked about, and she didn't ask later—she had found out earlier that Song Xuan didn't make any excuses about Ning Xun, but it was because of General Qi's death. He put this fault on Ning Xun, how innocent Ning Xun was, how could he not know it in his heart?

She felt that she had said nothing wrong that day. According to the appearance of the person they described, if General Qi was still alive, he would not resent Ning Xun.

If General Song could use this to untie the knot in his heart, it would naturally be better.

Since Xingguang left, although the road was not fast, it never stopped much.

When spring was in full swing, they returned to Beijing.

The shadow guard hid his body after leaving the northern frontier, and Ning Xun first returned to the East Palace to settle down the title pool, and then went to the Qianzheng Palace.

The emperor was sick with a head wind, and his spirit was inevitably shorter, so he didn't embarrass Ning Xun much, and put the person back in the East Palace.

Immediately afterwards, he made a decree to hold a banquet in three days to wash the dust for the crown prince.

On such an occasion, the saint and the queen mother must be in person, and it is inconvenient for the title pool to show up, not to mention that she is happy to stay in the East Palace with swords and swords on the table.

She has been away for too long, and Cicada Yi has been looking forward to it day and night, and she has easily hoped for people to come back, and she heard that she was injured by blocking arrows for Her Highness, and she was so distressed that she couldn't wait to offer people up.

The title pool was at ease in the East Palace, and there were people to accompany him to relieve his boredom, so Ning Xun was not so brisk.

The banquet is the meaning of the queen mother, saying that it is a reception banquet for the crown prince, but it also invites important ministers in the court, which is more like a celebration. The people are complete - except for Changle, Changle has already gone to the Taoist temple to cultivate, and only wrote a letter to express his heart.

Halfway through the banquet, the queen mother, who was sitting at the top, suddenly mentioned: "If the mourning family is not mistaken, this is the New Year, and the prince should be twenty-two?" ”

Ning Xun smiled, "Grandmother Huang's care, exactly." ”

"There is no one in charge of the harem these years, and it has delayed your marriage."

As soon as these words fell, Concubine Xian unconsciously tensed up - the Queen Mother's words could be regarded as helping her, in case, in case the saint wanted to be established......

But the emperor only confessed a sentence because he was tired of the empress dowager's hard work, and there was no follow-up.

Concubine Xian glanced at the emperor not far away, her expectation was disappointed again, her face was inevitably defeated, and when she looked down, she just happened to meet Concubine Wen's soft gaze, so she could only hide it by drinking.

"That's it." The Queen Mother looked at Ning Xun, "Does the prince have a favorite candidate in his heart?" ”

Ning Xun got up unhurriedly, knelt down in the middle, and said loudly: "Don't hide it from the emperor's grandmother, there is just one person in the grandson's heart." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several eyes fell on him.

Shen Che turned the wine cup in his hand, put it on the desk with a "da", and chuckled.

The Queen Mother was interested, "Oh? "Which girl is it?" ”

Ning Xun glanced at the emperor silently, "The daughter of the prefect of Jingzhou." ”

He had already prepared this identity for the title, and the defense was today. According to the emperor's temperament, if he chooses the crown princess, his identity must not be too high, and the quasi-father-in-law cannot hold real power, but if his status is lower, he can't find a suitable reason - Jingzhou is just right, and there is a layer of cousin and sister relationship, and it is reasonable to know the roots.

As soon as his voice fell, he saw that the emperor's face softened a lot.

The Queen Mother thought about it for a while and remembered that it was the prince's mother's house. Since the death of the queen, the prince's mother's family was sent to Jingzhou, and she did not have much real power in her hands. But after all, the fame is still there, and it is a kiss and a kiss, which is appropriate.

The Queen Mother knew it, but she was not in a hurry to settle down, she only said: "When you find a suitable time, bring people here, and the mourning family will be so lively." ”

Ning Xun replied yes, still with a smile on his face, and got up and retreated to his seat.

The banquet was immediately lively again.

Because Shen Che was there, the county lord of Xining had already drunk a few more cups, and was disturbed by the episode of the prince, so he looked at Shen Che frequently in a state of confusion, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart - since marriage had already been mentioned, if she could take the opportunity to ask the saint for marriage......

Thinking like this, her body had already reacted first, and she stood up from the seat.

It just so happened that the emperor's gaze swept here, and he just complained that he was tired of the queen mother's troubles, and now he saw the county lord who was raised by the queen mother's side get up, so he couldn't help but ask a question-

Before the emperor could speak, Ning Zhen spoke first: "Xining is not strong enough to drink, and if you drink it again, I am afraid that you will lose your honor in front of the emperor." ”

Ning Zhen looked at the palace maid beside Xining, and her expression was cold: "Can't you see that the county lord is drunk?!" How do you serve, and don't you take the county lord down to rest? ”

The author has something to say:

Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-10-03 03:33:48~2023-10-05 01:51:18~

Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 10 bottles of fish roe; 2 bottles of monster meow; Waiting for a lifetime silently 1 bottle;

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

Chapter 101

◎ Rank pool willing. ◎

Xining was stunned by his words, and looked at the Queen Mother as if asking for help. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother also put her hand on the grandmother beside her, and was carried up, "The mourning family is also lacking, the emperor doesn't have to get up, you continue." The old bones of the mourning family are not as good as before. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, there were naturally countless sweet and ingenious people underneath, and as for what Xining was going to do, no one paid attention to it.

The Queen Mother glanced at Xining, deliberately stopped, and waited for her for a moment. No matter how reluctant Xining was, he could only retire and go back with the Queen Mother first.

The Queen Mother shook her head imperceptibly and held the hand handed over by Xining. The female eldest did not stay, she naturally knew that Xining belonged to the Shen family, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to palm her eyes again.

She has to finish Xining's big business, and she can rest assured. Otherwise, when she dies, the child will be left alone. As she gets older, the palace people have to serve her harder, and her body is not as good as a year - since she entered the summer last year, she can obviously feel that her spirit is short.

The Zhenguo Mansion was originally a good destination, but the Shen family had too close contact with Zhen'er, and the prince now knows how to hide Feng, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

If you make the wrong promise, you will be able to go in with the explanation in this life.

Before the dust settled, she was reluctant to take this risk.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, the emperor began to rub the corners of his forehead from time to time, as if his head was blowing again, and he left the table after a while.

The banquet was a lot colder for a while. Ning Mian didn't drink much, but he was already drunk, and came to his eldest brother with a wine jug to toast and congratulate him on his triumph.

As soon as the wine glass hit, Ning Zhen sneered under the crown prince, "The fourth brother is very attentive. ”

After saying this, Ning Zhen didn't want to stay any longer, got up and said lightly: "It's really a brother and a friend, it's good." ”

Ning Mian's face turned pale, and he watched him walk away before he muttered: "The imperial brother has been in the northern Xinjiang these days, and the second imperial brother is quite powerful...... Now that he is talking more and more, he has not stopped a little, and the royal brother should not take it to heart. ”

Ning Xun only smiled and poured him full of wine with his own hands.

The others are in northern Xinjiang, but the rumors in Beijing have not leaked at all, so they naturally know that in the past few months, Lao Si has secretly blocked Ning Zhen a lot.

Although he has rarely appeared in political affairs, Ning Mian has always helped the prince, and no one has felt anything wrong in the past few months.

Ning Xun watched him drink the liquor in the cup thoughtfully.

When did his fourth brother, who has always been timid and fearful, start to be able to resist Ning Zhen?

Ning Mian was so drunk that he was about to fall on the table after drinking this cup, and was carried down by the waiter.

No one was blocking the line of sight in front of him, Ning Xun raised his eyes, and inadvertently just happened to look at Shen Che's position, and happened to bump into his gaze from afar.

The two glanced at each other silently, Ning Xun laughed first, raised his glass to him, and then raised his head and drank it all, and made a gesture of "please" in a thoughtful manner - just looking at the posture, he didn't know that he thought this was the wedding banquet of his big wedding, and the groom was greeting the guests who came to congratulate.

The usual smile on Shen Che's face faded, and after raising his glass in return, he only put the cup on the table.

Ning Xun didn't care, and after dealing with two rounds of courtiers, he also found an excuse and left the table early.

He didn't like these feasts, and even called them bored, and every time he left the banquet, he felt dull and irritable. This time, he came out with brisk steps—knowing that someone was waiting for him to go back, it was naturally different from before.

Four years ago, in the spring of the twenty-first year, when he returned from northern Xinjiang, if there were people waiting for him like this, that period of time might not have been so difficult.

It was because he met her too late, otherwise even if he was tied up, he would have brought someone to his side early.

He waited in front of the gate of the East Palace, counting the stone slabs boredly, and counting them step by step with his head down—until he walked into the pair of dark blue brocade boots in front of him.

She had stepped on it barefoot the night before, and it was piled up under the bed—and only once, and before it was even solid, it was fished back from behind by herself.

Before she could look up, she was already hugged into her arms.

"Why did you come out and wait again?"

Because he returned to the East Palace, she changed her address to him in front of the people: "I want Your Highness to be able to see me at the first glance when he comes back." ”

Ning Xun pinched the back of her neck twice, and laughed softly, "Don't wait any longer." ”

Zhichi intuitively felt that there was a deep meaning in his words, but he couldn't tell the difference for a while, so he was obediently led back by him, and listened to him: "The person in his heart, even if he is not in front of him, can see it." ”
