Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Grandma Sun is the dowry girl of the empress dowager, the palace is deep, and she is the only one alive among the four dowry female officials.

Having accompanied the Empress Dowager for many years, Grandma Sun can be said to be a more precious figure in the Palace of Compassion and Peace than any eunuch or nunnery in charge.Furthermore, she was from the Marquis of Changxin's mansion, and she was more kind to Ning Heng than others. The Queen Mother sent her here because she was afraid that others would hurt the face of Marquis Changxin.

After Ning Heng left, she straightened up, turned her head to look at the eunuch in charge of the palace who had collapsed on the ground and the servants kneeling all over the room, calmed down the surprise in her heart, and her face remained normal.She stood up and ordered the eunuch in charge of the hall to be taken away, and then the hall was cleaned up, and then Nanny Sun turned to the silent children in the hall.Naturally, after apologizing and pleading guilty, and ordering the palace servants to wait on him carefully, he left on the pretext of business affairs.

Everyone knew that she was going to clean up the eunuchs in charge of the palace, so they couldn't help looking at Ma Chao.

"What are you looking at me for?!"

Ma Chao roared angrily, the expression on his face was no longer the shortness of breath he had faced Ning Heng before, and he gritted his teeth.Seeing that he was very angry, everyone turned away their eyes and started discussing for fear of being angered by him.

One person wondered: "Who was that just now? Didn't Ning Heng never get close to the clan? Today he did it to save face."

They still had lingering fears about the scene just now, and whoever was present didn't understand that Ning Heng's punishment for that little eunuch was actually to kill a chicken for the monkey to see.

Needless to say, it is really scary for a person who is usually silent to get angry.Just standing there so straight, with cold eyes sweeping over, is more frightening than the severe scolding of the elders in the family.

No wonder old people are biting dogs and don't bark, the speaker thought secretly.

"It seems to be the grandson of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the Zhu family. It has only been a year since he returned to Beijing, and he is a classmate with Ning Heng. I also wonder why he protects such an unknown thing."

The Zhu family has a very high reputation in the Dajing Army, and its reputation is shocking to the outside world, but in the eyes of Luo Jing's literary and Confucian family and the royal family, they are all ordinary people.

This perception has been around for a long time. After all, the son of the Zhu family has been in the frontier for a long time, so the Luojing family's contacts are naturally shallow.It has been less than a year since Zhenbei Hou's mansion was moved to a first-rank hereditary military marquis, and the old master is very low-key in Luojing. Zhenbeihou's mansion is not valued by Luojing's children, so it will not treat Zhu Dingbei as a northerner. The native monkeys who came back from Xinjiang paid attention to them.

Ma Chao said: "The fake girl raised by the Zhu family is a waste in Luojing. Do you think he can do anything in the future? Will he be able to fight the enemy or become an official in the court? Ning Heng's vision is getting worse and worse. I really don't know what it means to be with these trash all day long!"

The clan can still see the overall situation clearly, but how can such words be put on the bright side?

This was something that violated the holy will, and everyone dared not answer his words, and hurriedly grabbed the people next to them and started talking and laughing, which was regarded as exposing this problem.

Not to mention Ma Chao's embarrassment and resentment, when he left the palace gate, Zhu Dingbei bent over with a smile.

"The Marquis of Changxin is so majestic, haha, it really opened my eyes, I admire, I admire!"

Ning Heng supported him to prevent him from falling, and smiled slightly when he heard the words, but his expression was still serious, and his anger still persisted: "They bullied you."

"How can it be?" Zhu Dingbei grabbed his shoulders nonchalantly, and said, "A bunch of bastards, their buttocks are up to the sky, I don't want to bother with them. But you, you are not afraid of making fun of a little eunuch for nothing. you."

"You deserve it."

Zhu Dingbei didn't understand, after staying in the Compassionate Ning Palace for so many years, how could he still not know the rules of hospitality in the palace?

If it wasn't for someone's instruction or the eunuch in charge to curry favor with the descendants of the Marquis of Yuanning's mansion, how dare they humiliate Changsheng with something without specifications?In his opinion, those clan children in the palace were an eyesore, and the eunuch in charge was even more unforgivable.

Zhu Dingbei squeezed his shoulder to calm him down, and then said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Ning Heng saw him working hard on tiptoe, took his arm from his shoulder and held it in his palm, and said to him: "I heard that you are coming, so I went to the front hall to look for you."

"Hmm." Zhu Dingbei knew that he must have heard that he was summoned by the Queen Mother, so he hurried back.I couldn't help but be touched by his concern for myself, and said with a smile: "I knew you must be boring staying here, brother, it's interesting enough, so I'm here to relieve your boredom."

Ning Heng laughed, and after listening to Zhu Dingbei's nonsense, he arrived at the courtyard where Ning Heng lived.

He turned around and dismissed the servants who were waiting on the side, and ordered to take care of the situation of Ci Ning Palace so that Zhu Dingbei could meet up with the old lady and leave.

Ning Heng lived very close to the main hall, and it could be seen that he was very favored here, whether it was the staff serving in the courtyard or the various precious ornaments.Zhu Dingbei was about to tease him a few words, but remembering that he had been so honored by the empress dowager since he was a lonely child, he swallowed the words in time and asked him what he was doing these days.

As far as he himself is concerned, it has nothing to do with filial piety, and if he has been with his grandmother for a long time, it will be very boring.Besides, he just had a face-to-face meeting with the Queen Mother, the palace rules are so big, Ning Heng is used to being free in the Marquis Mansion, so he must be uncomfortable.

After listening to Ning Heng's words, he realized that he had made a big mistake.

In addition to greetings and meals in the morning and evening, Ning Heng also read his medical book of unknown origin in the room, or went to the imperial hospital to ask for advice, and lived a very comfortable life.

He finally understood that this person really did his own thing, and it didn't make any difference to him where he lived.

Zhu Dingbei regained his composure in front of him, sitting on the couch with his legs crossed in a shapeless manner, took a sip of the tea served by Lord Changxin himself, and said: "You are at ease, I will walk here for a while, I don’t want to come here anymore.”

He took his embarrassment in meeting the empress dowager as a joke and told Ning Heng, who naturally understood that the empress dowager's attitude towards him would not be very sincere and kind.

This stems from the current emperor's fear of the Zhu family.

Since the Zhu family's ancestral grave a hundred years ago, only female relatives have entered the tomb. The sons and daughters died in battle or died of old age on the battlefield. Like ordinary soldiers, they all burned their dead bodies and buried them everywhere.

This is Zhu Jiaerlang's destiny and destination.

Old Hou Ye was the first head coach of the Zhu family who was ordered to return to Beijing to take care of his life. As the grandson of Zhu Dingbei, everyone with a discerning eye knew that although he was an honor of the family, in fact he was not the hostage of the Zhu family army in Luojing?Emperor Zhenyuan still trusted and relied heavily on the Zhu family, but the emperor may have the intention of cutting power and changing hands for this huge century-old army.

Ning Heng didn't show his worry, he patted his head comfortingly, and shouted for people to bring all kinds of melon and fruit snacks.

Zhu Dingbei lowered his voice and winked: "I'm really not full from this palace banquet. It's the same as what Lou Er said. The craftsmanship is much worse than yours."

The dimples on Ning Heng's cheeks were faintly visible, and he heard him say again: "Hey, I'm hoping that our Shuisheng will soon be a teacher and enjoy the blessings."

Zhu Dingbei didn't notice the change in his mood, and he talked about their mutual friends with great interest, saying that they went to Zhenbeihou's mansion to pester him, and joked about Qin Xi being stared at for endorsement and beaten.Then he said: "Qin Xi and Lou Er made an appointment with me to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. They said that the market was very lively that day. It's a pity that you can't come out."

After a pause, he confirmed, "Are you returning home on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month?"

Ning Heng nodded regretfully.

The Empress Dowager cared for him very much, this was his last relative in the world, Ning Heng was grateful for her upbringing, and was willing to serve him with a filial piety.

Seeing his disappointment, Zhu Dingbei patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll bring you a lamp, don't dislike me for my lack of vision. We'll come to the Hou Mansion to play with you after you leave the palace."

Ning Heng's birthday is on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and he was worried about what to give, this Lantern Lantern just solved his problem.

Ning Heng didn't care about this, and instead asked, "Are you yourself?"

Seeing Zhu Dingbei's doubts, Ning Heng said without blinking: "They are noisy."

"Mother, hello!" Zhu Dingbei laughed loudly, "You, you are right. But if those few hear it, they will definitely cry all night. Hey, you don't know that Lou Er really looks like a little girl. A few days ago, I accidentally broke his water dragon car, and tears fell on the spot, which scared me, and I dare not offend the second young master again."

Seeing that he never left others, Ning Heng felt a little unhappy, but when he heard his voice and saw him laughing, it was nothing to be unhappy, so he also smiled.

That night the Queen Mother listened to the cause and effect before going to sleep, and only said indifferently: "That kid Ma Chao is still so reckless."

Even though there was no sign from him, it was a fact that the head eunuch saw that he had broken the rules of the Compassionate Ning Palace with his winks.Or... to see the Queen's face.

A cold light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.

The next day, after eating breakfast, the Empress was sent away, and the Empress let Ning Heng come forward, and asked him in a warm voice: "Did Ah Heng compete with the grandson of the Marquis of Yuanning last night, or was he protecting the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

The queen mother also raised Ning Heng and knew his temper well. Ning Heng didn't like probing or beating around the bush.He doesn't lie, and he doesn't talk too much. The queen mother is more accommodating to him, so she never talks with him.

Ning Heng knew that she would ask, so he lowered his eyes and replied, "Longevity is very good."

"Changsheng...is that child's baby name. It seems that Ah Heng is really close to him." The queen mother was startled, this was the first time hearing him praise others from this child.

Ning Heng was raised under her knees, and because of his temperament, he was not close to the princes and princesses, and he didn't have many friends in the school.Even when he grew up with him, the twins of the Lou family who were valued by him clashed with the grandson of Yuanning Hou. He spoke out to help and protect the two, but he never intervened to seek justice for them.

She thought that this child's nature could not be changed, that he was not pro-party and selfless, but she didn't expect that he would show off his power for someone who had been with him for less than a year to support the other party.

Ning Heng nodded, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I know how to measure."

The queen mother smiled when she heard the words, Ning Heng understood her attitude towards the Zhu family, but also valued her friends, so last night she only made a fuss about the eunuch in charge of the palace and didn't make a fuss about Ma Chao.

"Aheng, you have always been sensible, and the Ai family is not worried. It's just that the children of the Zhu family should stay away in the future. It is good for you and that child."

She spoke softly, but looked very serious.

Ning Heng frowned, he knew better than anyone else that the Queen Mother's decision was right.

The lonely Marquis Changxin can make friends with anyone, but the Patriarch of the Ning family has to be cautious when dealing with others.It is a sin for Ning Heng to get close to the person whom the emperor cares about.

Ning Heng looked up at the empress dowager in the high position, his eyes changed a few times, and finally his expression became firm.

"My queen, he's just a child."

The queen mother was taken aback, looking at the stubborn Ning Heng in front of her, she couldn't help feeling sad.

That's right, the grandson of Zhenbeihou's Mansion is only a nine-year-old child, so why not Ning Heng.

The tragedy in the Ning Mansion was caused by the former emperor. She owed her natal family, her elder brother, and her nephew too much.When she loved Ning Heng so much, why didn't she seek peace of mind for atonement?

How dare she say that how much of this love and maintenance is to win the hearts of the Ning family for the royal family.

The Empress Dowager has honed her mind in this deep palace, even Ning Heng has a hard time not caring about his interests, and not really treating him as an ordinary child.This is too heavy and too cruel for Ning Heng.Besides, the child's feelings are pure, and her worries are imposed on Ning Heng, which really shouldn't be.

Thinking of this, the queen mother smiled and said: "I like this child, he is a good boy. Ah Heng, the Ai family does not object to your association, but you must remember your identity... Do you understand what the Ai family means?" ?”

Ning Heng nodded, his expressionless face was clear and cautious beyond his age.
