"Your Highness, the emperor has returned to the palace."

Ning Ke raised his brows and eyes, handsome and bright, the little maid who reported the letter was taken aback for a moment, then quickly lowered her head, for fear that the Fourth Highness would see her blushing face.

Ning Ke smiled lightly, sniffed the little palace maid unintentionally, and said, "Thank you sister, but the emperor probably doesn't want to see me when he comes back, why don't sister talk to me?"

The little maid was even more ashamed, the young man in front of her was clearly not yet of the age of the crown, but she looked like a romantic saint, but she still had such a good skin.

"Slaves...Slaves dare not..."

Saying dare not, but still timidly followed Ning Ke to the inner hall.

Not long after, the consular eunuch came to the East Palace to announce the decree. Before entering the palace, he heard the little maid shyly reprimanded him, and he was trembling all over. Then he remembered to say: "Your Highness, the emperor sent you to the imperial study."

Hearing some rustling noises, it took a long time to hear the answer: "Understood, I'll go right away."

The consul and eunuch went back to report. The emperor had just dispatched a group of academicians, and the prime minister walked out with a livid face. It seemed that the emperor was very angry with him again.The eunuch sent someone to stew a bowl of pear soup, and walked lightly into the imperial study.

The eunuch said: "The Fourth Highness will be here soon."

The eunuch secretly took a look at Ning Jin, seeing that his face was calm, he must have unilaterally crushed Prime Minister Fang, so he took a deep breath.

Ning Jin was still staring at the memorial in his hand, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "What did the Fourth Highness do in the palace?"

"...Reading and practicing swordsmanship. His Highness the Fourth Highness was enlightened early, and he has learned all the six arts, and the young Fu from the Ding Zitang has also started to work with the Fourth Highness. It's just..."

The eunuch hesitated to speak, wondering if he should tell about the fact that His Highness the Fourth Highness often hangs out with the court ladies, but after all, that one is still the master.

"It's okay."

The eunuch thought about it, and thought that Emperor Jing Zhao was dead, and Concubine Shu was always used to the Fourth Highness, and now the only one who can control him is the elder brother, the Emperor, so he said: "Little court ladies are indiscreet and always want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and the slaves are ruthless." I have taught them a lesson, and sent them out of the palace a few times, but the Fourth Highness is still young, so his self-control is inevitably weak, but those little maids are all good at seductive."

"Don't worry about him." Ning Jin put down the booklet and said, "The old concubine's palace has entered the courtesan lady, find a reason to drive her out of the palace."

The eunuch looked at Ning Jin suspiciously, and asked, "But the female officer surnamed Tan?"

Ning Jin nodded, and the eunuch said fearfully, "Miss Tan was sent to the palace by Prime Minister Fang, and the old concubine only stayed in the palace if she liked it. I'm afraid it's not easy to please her old man."

Ning Jin thought for a moment, stopped mentioning this matter, handed him a letter, and said: "This matter is not urgent, please go to Yang Zuodu first, and let her handle the case at hand before coming to the palace to report on her duties."

"The slave obeys the order."

The palace maid brought Sydney pear soup, and Ning Ke followed in. Ning Jin rewarded Ning Ke with the pear soup, and then shunned the servants serving in the imperial study.

Ning Ke glanced at Ning Jin indifferently, and said, "Thank you, Brother Emperor."

Ning Jin picked up the vermilion pen to mark the papers, without looking up at him, he said, "Stop doing profligate things, all the rumors and gossips have spread to me."

Ning Ke smiled: "I would like to follow the emperor's instruction." That's what he said, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Ning Jin was well aware of his little tricks, and Ning Jin recognized the four words of keeping a low profile earlier than he did.

Ning Ke should have known that Ning Jin was aware of the relationship between him and Xie Jinghong. When he came back to the palace, first, he still understood some righteousness, and second, because Concubine Shu was alone in the palace, he was afraid that Ning Jin would not let him go. pass her.

Even though Ning Ke is a demon king in the world, he is very filial to Concubine Shu.

Ning Jin said: "From now on, I will come to the imperial study after finishing my homework. The cabinet scholars are getting old, and they will inevitably be a little stubborn when looking at things. I want to hear your thoughts. In addition, I will ask the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to teach you how to practice sword."

Ning Jin wants him to participate in political affairs?Ning Ke frowned, and said in a deep voice, "My brother doesn't understand what the emperor means."

"You understand." Ning Jin raised his head, "Ning Ke, I hope you will not disappoint my expectations of you."

Ning Ke froze in place for a while, before asking: "Is it because of... He Zhan?"

Ning Jin didn't answer: "Back off."

Dali Temple has just arrested a flower picker, and the person who went to act as a bait is Yang Yingzhao.

That day, Qin Fang watched Yang Yingzhao twist the flower picker out with one hand, his brows were full of heroism, and his demeanor was more domineering than that of a man.

All the worries in my heart turned into anxiety, and I went up to him and asked, "How is it? Where is the injury?"

The flower picker took a bitter look at Qin Fang, and yelled in pain, "My lord, you should ask me first! Who would have thought that this little girl is so beautiful, but she is a crazy woman, what a motherfucker!" What a pity!"

Yang Yingzhao hugged her chest, stretched out her feet and kicked the flower picker to eat dog shit, staring and said: "Get lost!"

Qin Fang went up and rubbed Yang Yingzhao's shoulder, and said, "Jing Rong has worked hard! Thanks to you, otherwise we would not be able to solve the case so quickly!"

The newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple couldn't stand it any longer, and said in a muffled voice: "A message has come from the palace, the emperor announced Yang Zuodu to enter the palace."

Qin Fang was dissatisfied: "Why did you enter the palace again? Is there no one available around the emperor?"

Shaoqing said: "There are so many available people in Dali Temple, we shouldn't bother the commander of Tie Xiaoqi to catch some small thieves and thieves, Master Qin, what do you think?"

say what?He didn't say it!

Yang Yingzhao took the order, bid farewell to Qin Fang in a hurry, and rushed to the palace.

When Yang Yingzhao arrived, Ning Jin was discussing matters with several senior scholars.The consul eunuch invited her to take a walk in the imperial garden.A few days ago, Qin Fang said that she liked Qingzhou Qianyingchun, so she asked Ning Jin for a potted plant. Today, by coincidence, the palace servant led Yang Yingzhao to the Imperial Garden to have a look at the potted plant to see if it suits her.

The potted plants brought in from Qingzhou are difficult to maintain. This winter jasmine was carefully cared for by the master gardener, and it actually bloomed in spring.The small flowers with large star points are exquisite and lovely, dotted among the greenery, very beautiful.Yang Ying greeted her, she couldn't put it down, and she was instructing them to find a suitable time to send them to Dali Temple, when she saw a graceful figure walking through the shadows of many flowers.

The girl was born beautiful, dressed in a pale pink palace dress, a bit more beautiful than Qian Yingchun, walking dignifiedly, like a lotus growing every step of the way.

Except for the maids and concubines of the first emperor, Yang Yingzhao had never seen a woman in the harem before, so she felt suspicious, so she took a few more glances and saw the woman walking towards her and bowed slightly to her.

Yang Yingzhao didn't understand these etiquettes in the palace, so she nodded slightly at her, as if she had seen them before.

The palace man opened his mouth to greet first: "Sister Tan."

"You are the emperor's junior sister?"

Tan Xiuyi was not polite and asked directly.Yang Yingzhao didn't know why this girl who had never met her had a provocative tone in her words, so she asked, "You know me?"

"I don't know, I just heard about it. I heard from the concubine that...the emperor specially moved money from Qingzhou to welcome the spring for you. It seems that the emperor treats you very well. I also work in the palace. I think I will have a very close relationship with my sister in the future." Getting to know each other."

Yang Yingzhao finally smelled the soaring smell of jealousy on her body, and silently felt sorry for being confronted like this, so she said softly: "I don't come to the palace often."

"My sister can get the favor, and it will be a matter of time before the emperor wants my sister to enter the palace."

Yang Yingzhao smiled and didn't answer any more, and she was about to leave, but Tan Xiuyi grabbed her hand and asked: "I know that you have fought with the emperor and planned for him. Even though you are good at fighting, you don't know how to serve someone People. The emperor is busy with political affairs, can't my sister have the heart for him to work so hard, and there is no one around me to talk to?"

Yang Yingzhao: "..." Where did this young lady come from?

"No matter how jealous you are, you should restrain yourself in front of the emperor. Why do you keep so many women who admire the emperor out of the palace? Is your love so selfish?" Tan Xiuyi was about to cry, her eyes flushed .

Yang Yingzhao was speechless for a moment, and in the middle of the stalemate between the two, a young eunuch trotted over to salute the two masters, and then said to Yang Yingzhao, "...uh..." He paused, not knowing what to call He Zhan He Zhan had previously resigned from office, and all the titles of officials and titles were returned. Now he is considered a commoner, but he really dare not call him by his first name.

Yang Yingzhao asked: "What's wrong?"

"That... that one is here."

Yang Yingzhao didn't know who this "that person" was, so he saw He Zhan walking out from the flower path, holding his little Menglan in his arms, wearing a thin mud-dyed green shirt, but he didn't care at all, and looked up at Yang Yingzhao, His eyes lit up instantly, and he shouted, "Yingzhao."

When Tan Xiuyi saw He Zhan, her subordinates gradually relaxed.Yang Yingzhao brushed her away quickly, ran to He Zhan, and said wearily, "Third Uncle."

"What a coincidence, you are also in the palace?"

"Didn't your illness just improve? Didn't you go down the mountain so soon?"

He Zhan said: "The emperor asked someone to send Meng Lan from Qingzhou. I want to take it away and raise it myself. I will come and see him." He rubbed the tip of his nose as he said, "It seems that he is still discussing business, and I can't see him." , if you want to go later, take me with you?"

Yang Yingzhao: "..."

"Sister..." The voice was as thin as a mosquito, and He Zhan noticed that there was someone behind Yang Yingzhao.

He was curious for a moment, and asked, "Huh? Yingzhao, do you have a younger sister? I haven't heard you mention it before."

Yang Yingzhao: "..."

Tan Xiuyi blushed and asked for instructions just now: "I am the female officer next to Old Concubine Meng, and I have met your lord."

"I'm not an adult. It turns out that I'm a female officer... She's pretty, just call me third uncle just like Yingzhao."

Tan Xiuyi didn't know what kind of third uncle this was.

Tan Xiuyi is Fang Yuexiu's distant niece, her family is in Cangzhou, she was raised in a deep boudoir before, and she has never heard of the name of the regent. Although she has little knowledge, she is good at being well-behaved. Fang Yuexiu sent her to the palace to show that The purpose is to let her stay in the palace to serve the emperor.The story of the emperor's recovery of Luzhou spread all over the country. Every day and night, she thought that the person next to her pillow would be a world-class hero, and she felt like a deer bumping around in her heart, both joyful and shy, not knowing what to do.

She knew that this was a rare opportunity, so she recklessly approached Yang Yingzhao just now.

But this woman is not as good looking as her, and her fingers are rough and she doesn't seem like someone who can make soup. It seems that the emperor treats her so well because of his old friendship.She doesn't like Yang Yingzhao, and she doesn't like Yang Yingzhao's third uncle even more.

Yang Yingzhao gritted her teeth, pointed at He Zhan and said to Tan Xiuyi, "This is the person you are looking for. The emperor entrusted someone to find Meng Lan, and brought along a plant of money to welcome the spring."

Tan Xiuyi looked at He Zhan with startled eyes, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

He Zhan tilted his head, and Yang Yingzhao replied, "This is the regent, the emperor's cousin."

Tan Xiuyi was horrified, and hurriedly saluted, "See you, my lord. If the slaves are disrespectful, please forgive me."

After all, Tan Xiuyi was happy in her heart. It turned out that the emperor didn't dote on Yang Yingzhao, but just wanted to be a filial piety, and at the same time gave Yang Yingzhao the money to welcome the spring.

Yang Yingzhao leaned closer to He Zhan's ear, and said in a low voice, "This is the future empress."

He Zhan: "..."

Yes, just as soon as he left the imperial court, a queen empress popped out, which is really strange in the world.

"uncle!"

A group of people turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw the bright yellow figure almost flying over, and the little eunuch behind him couldn't catch up with trots. I am happy, I am all happy to see everyone.

Tan Xiuyi stared at Ning Jin in a daze, forgetting even the etiquette.

Rumor has it that the emperor is indifferent and indifferent, and his prestige is uncertain. Even an old minister like Prime Minister Fang is often overwhelmed by him, but seeing him today is not the case. There is undisguised joy in his handsome eyebrows, which is quite different from the rumors .

Ning Jin stepped forward to hold He Zhan's hand, but He Zhan had no choice but to hold the flowerpot in his arms.Seeing that there were outsiders around, he restrained his expression a little, took the flower pot calmly, held it in his arms, and asked earnestly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He Zhan replied softly: "I'm leaving now."

"So fast? Don't you stay overnight?"

"Xuanjizi is more open-minded than you. I have to ask my grandpa to sue my grandma when I go out of the mountain. If I go back late, I may have to prick me a few more needles."

"Master doesn't dare." Ning Jin's tone was threatening, as if Xuanjizi was really present.

Seeing this, Yang Yingzhao asked for instructions: "Then...do you still report on your work today?"

Ning Jin glanced at Yang Yingzhao lightly: "Come back tomorrow."

Yang Yingzhao: "..." You are cruel.

Yang Yingzhao pushed Tan Xiuyi a little and said, "Good sister, let's go."

Tan Xiuyi shook her head suddenly, and let Yang Yingzhao push her away before she could react.From time to time, she turned her head to look a few more times, and saw the emperor bowed his head and listened to the regent's words, his face was covered with...

Tenderness?

She was just thinking that she was delusional, seeing that the regent wanted to take over the flowerpot, but the emperor seemed to refuse, the two were arguing, but the emperor took advantage of the situation and moved towards the regent's face.Suddenly realizing what the emperor was doing, Tan Xiuyi almost cried out, and looked at Yang Yingzhao in shock.

Yang Yingzhao said: "I don't know where you come from, but 'that' is very stingy, and I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate you. Besides, there is no shortage of servants around my brother, and he wants to be the one who serves."

"He...they...how could..." Tan Xiuyi covered her mouth.

Yang Yingzhao: "Senior brother has never spoiled your reputation. After leaving the palace, you can still find a good family. Miss Tan, people should learn to be smart, and don't say what you shouldn't say."

Ning Jin tried his best to grab Xiao Menglan's seat, hugged He Zhan again and again, and asked about his condition in a low voice.

He Zhan came one by one and told him not to worry.He Zhan only walked with Ning Jin in the Imperial Garden for a while, and then said he wanted to go back.

These few days Ning Jin was busy with government affairs, he would always think of He Zhan when going to bed, tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, now that he saw the real person, he missed him even more.He discussed with He Zhan: "Can't I personally send you to Qingfeng Mountain tomorrow? I... miss Uncle so much."

"The emperor still has business to deal with."

Ning Jin answered immediately: "Uncle is business."

"I can't stay." He Zhan was very firm.

He Zhan said he couldn't stay, so he really couldn't.With a sad face, Ning Jin reluctantly tormented He Zhan for a while, and could only let him out of the palace according to his words.

Even if little Menglan was able to go to Qingfeng Mountain with He Zhan, as the Ninth Five-Year Master, it can be seen that he is not as good as a pot of Menglan.

For a few years, Qingfengshan raised people, and He Zhan's health gradually improved.He is not a person who can take it easy, he always likes to run outside Beijing, visiting the mountains, rivers, vegetation, rivers, seas and lakes of the Yasukuni, as if to make up for his previous regrets.

During the period, Ning Jin always took time to come over, and he would go back before staying for a moment. In the past, He Zhan would still feel lost, and over time he looked away.Ning Jin is the emperor, since he embarked on this path, he should accept all the results, no matter good or bad.

What's more, it's already good.He Zhan is very satisfied.

He rushed back to Beijing from Cangzhou, and he heard rumors about the new emperor from the people along the way. He wanted to take a rest after returning to Beijing and then go to the palace to have a look, but he didn't want to see Ning Jin in the Taoist temple.

Ning Jin seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

The unexpected appearance shocked He Zhan, before he could ask what he was confused about, he asked in a daze, "Why are you here?"

He Zhan brought Ning Jin into Shuixian's room, patted the dust on his body, showed Ning Jin the little thing he brought from Cangzhou, and said with a smile, "It's just right, I don't need to send this to the palace. , just take it with you when you leave."

Ning Jin looked at the enamel doll in his hand, and played with it with a smile. He Zhan sat by the bed and took off his boots, and Ning Jin sat on his side peacefully.

He Zhan was very tired, and he was relieved to see Ning Jin, tiredness seemed to well up on his brows.

He lay on the bed with Ning Jin's leg as a pillow, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Thinking about it, it seems like I haven't seen you for a long time. How long can I stay here this time?"

"How long are you going to stay here this time?"

"Don't go."

"kindness?"

"I'm here to repay the old promise."

He Zhan opened his eyes and opened his mouth to say something, but thousands of words were blocked in his throat, making him unable to say anything.

Ning Jin smiled lowly, even though He Zhan didn't nod his head in agreement, but he didn't say any words of rejection this time, so Ning Jin was content.

"From now on, for the rest of my life... I will be by Uncle's side."

Ning Jin lowered his head and kissed He Zhan's cool lips.

He Zhan closed his eyes, only to feel that everything in this world is empty, only the spring is warm and rainy, the wind is clear and the flowers are thick.

The day is late outside the window.
