Madam, protect me!

After Li Nuo finished his meal and was about to return to the Criminal Department, he passed by Ning'er in the Song Mansion.

She was holding a sword in her hand and looked very tired. Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck tightly to her cheeks.

Li Nuo really underestimated her before.

I thought her martial arts practice was just for three minutes, but looking at it now, she even worked harder than Mu'er.

Li Nuo had no intention of going to the Criminal Department in the afternoon.

But in the morning, it was said that "we know each other a lot, but we are different from each other" and "we go together with the same heart and sleep in the air of Chang'an". In the afternoon, the old friend who had been reunited for a long time was left alone in the Ministry of punishment. The poem was very emotional, and only the remaining Half a minute.

But there was nothing going on in the Criminal Department. Li Nuo sat opposite Li Anning, practicing calligraphy in boredom.

Li Anning watched him practice for a while, then stood up and said, "If you really have nothing to do, come and go for a walk with me, just to see how the Anti-Theft Department is doing now..."

A moment later, Li Nuo and Li Anning were walking side by side on the streets of Chang'an.

Time can dilute everything.

After not seeing each other for a month, when she walks on the streets of Chang'an again, she will not behave in an unconscious manner.

But Li Nuo was a little uncomfortable with it, because in the past month, when he walked outside, he always held hands with his wife.

Before Li Anning left Chang'an, the Anti-Theft Department was already on the right track.

A month has passed and nothing has changed in the Anti-Theft Department.

But elsewhere, the changes are indeed quite big.

On the streets of Chang'an, there are obviously more young people dressed as students.

The four-year imperial examination is coming soon, and in the next few months, young talents from all over Daxia will gather in Chang'an.

Some students from other places will come several months in advance in order to adapt to the environment in Chang'an.

At this time, Chang'an is also the busiest time.

Li Nuo walked slowly on the street and said: "Next, I will prepare well for the imperial examination, so I won't go to the Ministry of Punishments very often..."

As he was talking, he realized that Li Anning had not followed.

Li Nuo turned around and found her standing next to a tea stall.

Li Anning stood next to the tea stall. Several guests at the tea stall were drinking tea and chatting.

"Tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, Miss Phoenix or that Miss Song?"

"Nonsense, of course it's Miss Phoenix. I've met both girls. Although Miss Song is also very beautiful, her figure is much different from Miss Phoenix's. Miss Phoenix's waist, tsk tsk..."

"I don't agree with you. Although Miss Phoenix is ​​beautiful, she comes from a dusty place. In terms of temperament, Miss Song is better and deserves to be called a peerless beauty."

"I still stand with Phoenix Girl."

"I stand with Miss Song."

…

Listening to these people's discussions, Li Anning sighed softly in his heart.

She had only left Chang'an for a month, and Song Jia and Fenghuang were already fighting over who was the most beautiful woman in Chang'an.

She is no worse than them, but she is not even qualified to be mentioned.

Forget it about Song Jiaren.

She was so good to him, but in his heart, she was still not as good as Phoenix.

Li Anning admitted that from a man's perspective, Phoenix is ​​indeed very attractive.

But it’s still hard to avoid feeling disappointed.

Ahead was Yuyin Pavilion, and Li Anning saw a veiled figure standing at the door from a distance.

She heard that the Phoenix now was no longer the Phoenix a month ago.

Now, if you want to see her, you have to spend fifty taels of silver.

I'm afraid, only someone can casually see her beauty under the veil.

Fenghuang stood at the door of Yuyin Pavilion. She had been waiting here for a while.

When Li Nuo passed by Yuyin Pavilion just now, she received the news.

He hadn't been to Yuyin Pavilion for a month. At first, she thought it was because he was worried about the rumors outside and that his wife would be angry.

But for a whole month, he didn't even stop outside Yuyin Pavilion.

She gradually realizes that things may be more serious than she thought.

In her eyes, he had an exceptionally good temper.

The good one doesn't look like the son of a powerful man, let alone the son of a traitorous minister.

The last time she secretly spread rumors about the two of them, he wasn't angry.

But this time... it seems different from last time.

She didn't know if he was trying to avoid suspicion or...

Seeing Li Nuo approaching, she hurried up to meet him.

But Li Nuo just glanced at her lightly and walked straight ahead without stopping.

That indifferent gaze made Phoenix's steps pause and his heart sink.

broken.

This time I'm afraid it's really self-defeating.

Looking at the figure fading away, a trace of regret emerged in her heart...

…

Li Nuo was walking on the street, and Li Anning quickly caught up with him and said, "Didn't you see that Phoenix just said hello to you..."

Li Nuo said: "I saw it."

Li Anning was surprised and said, "You ignored her when you saw her?"

Li Nuo said calmly: "Do you want to deal with it if you see it?"

Li Anning was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Did you quarrel?"

Li Nuo didn't answer her.

It's not really a quarrel.

He just prefers to get along with simple-minded friends like Li Anning.

Madam, Mu'er, and Her Royal Highness the Princess are all simple-minded people. After spending time with them, they become too lazy to deal with people with complex thoughts.

Of course, even though he was used by her, he would not take revenge.

After all, his shooting department can light up, and Nightingale plays a vital role.

Li Anning suddenly felt much better.

When returning to the Ministry of Justice, she was humming all the way.

When she entered the yamen, she couldn't wait to ask: "When did you quarrel?"

Li Nuo glanced at her: "Why are you asking this?"

Li An Ning said: "I'm curious, wasn't it fine last time..."

Li Nuo continued to practice calligraphy and said casually: "It's been a few days since you left."

Li An Ning's pretty face showed surprise. From a few days after she left to now, doesn't it mean that he has ignored Fenghuang for almost a month?

Based on her understanding of Li Nuo, he rarely takes things seriously on weekdays.

It can make him ignore people for a month.

This must not be an ordinary quarrel.

She looked at Li Nuo and asked tentatively: "Are you going to ignore her forever? It's normal for friends to quarrel, and it won't get to this point..."

Li Nuo said lightly: "She is not a friend."

Li An Ning was not as happy as she imagined when she heard this, but felt a little uneasy.

I don't know what Fenghuang did to make him say such a thing.

He has such a good temper, but he can be so ruthless. If I do something wrong in the future, will he treat me like this?

She looked at Li Nuo and asked tentatively: "We are friends, right?"

Li Nuo looked at her speechlessly.

How could she ask this question?

The relationship with Li An Ning cannot be simply summarized as friends. She is not only a friend, but also a fellow traveler, a military advisor, a temporary boss, and an ex-wife in a sense. Not a beloved, but also a relative.

Li Nuo looked at her and said: "It's okay, it's too much..."

Li An Ning stretched out her little finger and said: "Then let's make a deal first. Friends, quarrels are quarrels, but you are not allowed to break up!"

Based on her actions that are the same as Mu'er, Li Nuo believes that the two will never break up.

He hooked his fingers with Li An Ning, and then said, "After leaving the court today, let's go to the Song Mansion for dinner together, just as a welcome party for you."

Li An Ning smiled and asked, "I have no problem, but your wife won't be angry, right?"

Li Nuo said, "As long as you don't feed me in front of her..."

Li An Ning's pretty face turned red, raised her hand and patted him lightly, and said shyly, "Don't mention this matter again!"

In the name of a friend, inviting Li An Ning to dinner at home, of course, the wife will not be angry.

He didn't spend this month in vain.

At noon, Li Nuo mentioned this matter to the wife.

In fact, Li An Ning and the wife are very similar in some aspects.

Equally powerful.

Equally not very educated.

In this regard, Li An Ning is better, at least she knows more words, but she knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, just like the wife.

In terms of lack of talent, they still have a common language.

After leaving the court of the Ministry of Justice, Li Nuo returned to the Song Mansion with her.

The second time Li An Ning had dinner at the Song family, the atmosphere was much more harmonious than the first time.

There was no misunderstanding, nor was there any embarrassment.

It was as natural as a family.

During the meal, she found that Mu'er's voice was not right. After asking, she learned that she had caught a cold. After dinner, she specially returned to the princess's mansion and brought the female doctor from the mansion.

The female doctor in the princess's mansion used to treat the concubines in the palace.

She used the medical Qi to circulate in Mu'er and Ning'er's bodies, and they became lively again.

This move greatly narrowed the distance between her and the two sisters, and they were pulled to play house together.

Li An Ning is worthy of being Li An Ning, and she can play with two six-year-old children.

Seeing that the curfew was about to come, Li Nuo walked to the table and said, "It's getting late, Sister An Ning should go back, and you should go back to your room and sleep."

Finally, I met another big sister who was willing to play with her. Song Ning'er said, "You can let Sister An Ning sleep at our house tonight..."

It was possible before.

But the Song Mansion is short of quilts these two days.

He and his wife can only sleep on one quilt.

Li Nuo looked at the position of the bed and was slightly stunned.

How could there be two quilts?

He looked at his wife and asked, "This quilt... was sent by Butler Wu?"

Li Nuo complained in his heart.

Didn't he tell him in the morning?

He was really unreliable when he was needed!

Song Jiaren shook her head.

She didn't know who sent this quilt. When she went out, there was an extra quilt on the bed when she came back. It might be sent by the maid in the mansion.

Li Nuo thought about it, walked to the bed, picked up a quilt, and said to Li An Ning: "Curfew is coming soon. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in time. Why don't you sleep here at night? I'll help you make the bed..."

Li An Ning looked at the quilt in Li Nuo's hand, and then looked at the only quilt left on the bed.

She shook her head without hesitation and said, "No, I'm used to my own bed. Let's go back to the Princess's Mansion. It doesn't matter if there's curfew. Have you forgotten who I am? They don't dare to stop me..."
