Crossing the East Palace

Ning Junchi brought two of his cronies and returned to Chang'an non-stop ahead of time.

He was rushing back at this time, apparently because he wanted to catch up with Tang Luojin's birthday.

Unfortunately, I still missed it.

Ning Junchi held Tang Luojin's hand, looked at the rising sun slowly in the eastern sky, and said with regret: "I always wanted to come back soon so that I could celebrate Xiao Qi's 25th birthday, but it's a pity to hurry up , still missed it."

Tang Luojin didn't take it seriously, and stood at the gate of the city with Ning Junchi, and said, "It's okay, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Ning Junchi listened, thought about it, and smiled.

"Yes, there will be many opportunities in the future."

The two looked at each other with a smile, and they looked at each other, neither of them willing to take their eyes off.

For Ning Junchi, he had been tempted by Tang Luojin early on, but the timing was not right. There seemed to be a thousand mountains between him and Tang Luojin. Even if Tang Luojin was the only one in his heart, the two could not together.Therefore, after 12 years, he finally got Tang Luojin's response to him.

It was too difficult to obtain, and Ning Junchi cherished it even more.Therefore, even after driving around the clock for several days, Ning Junchi still couldn't bear to close his eyes, for fear of losing sight of Tang Luojin.

But to Tang Luojin, Ning Junchi was a very different existence.In his previous life, he didn't have time to talk about love. After time travel, because of Ning's change of son, he had to tense up and struggled for his own survival.As for liking?No matter how nice Ning Junchi was to him at that time, he never thought of anything else.When Qing Huan told him about Ning Junchi's thoughts, Tang Luojin's first thought was how to use Ning Junchi's thoughts for him to benefit him better.

Even at that time, Ning Junchi had always been very kind to him.

Tang Luojin already had the emperor's mind, and subconsciously began to calculate.Even the most precious sincerity of the other party.

Fortunately, although Tang Luojin had the emperor's calculations, she was always open-minded, and because of the memory of her previous life, in addition to power, she also wanted the word love in her heart, so she plotted against Ning Junchi in a fair and honest manner. And Ning Junchi also accepted Li's scheme.In this way, after so many years, the two finally had the opportunity to join hands again.

Naturally, he also had to look at Ning Junchi more.

However, it didn't take long for the two of them to look at each other before they heard Chang Qu coughing hard.

The two turned their heads to look at Changqu at the same time.

Chang Qu tried hard to restrain his urge to roll his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, Duke, look at me, there are people coming to the city over there. Let's, let's go back to the palace quickly."

The two looked into the distance, and sure enough someone was driving a donkey towards them.

Tang Luojin knew that these were people from the village who came to catch the morning market.

"Then," he thought for a while, took a step back, so that he would not look up so obviously, and looked at Ning Junchi, "Uncle, will I go back to the palace with Zhen... or will I go home first?"

Ning Junchi smiled and squeezed Tang Luojin's hand: "Xiao Qi forgot what uncle said just now? Uncle and Xiao Qi can't be separated for a moment. Xiao Qi just agreed to uncle. It's just that uncle at this time Is it convenient to enter the palace with you?"

When Ning Junchi returned to Chang'an City as the border marshal, the first thing he did was naturally to see the emperor and report the border matters.It's just that in order to meet Tang Luojin in advance, Ning Junchi used a double to follow behind, and rushed over by himself without stopping.

However, since he came back early, Ning Junchi didn't really want to show up early - he wanted to spend a few more days with his little Qi in private, and then wait for the people behind to arrive before appearing in front of everyone.

After hearing this, Tang Luojin felt that the idea was good, and said, "Uncle forgot, I am now the emperor." As the emperor, he can easily do the "small matter" of smuggling people into the palace of.

So the group quietly returned to the palace.

When the first emperor was there, he liked to stay in the Zichen Hall when he was in court on weekdays; he also liked to stay in the Zichen Hall when dealing with political affairs and daily living.

The Zichen Hall is huge in size and magnificently furnished. There are gardens, rockery, horse farms, etc. in the hall. It is not surprising that the first emperor lived in the Zichen Hall and handled government affairs in the Zichen Hall.

Tang Luojin's habit is different from that of the first emperor.

He likes to stay in the Zichen Palace when he is in court and dealing with government affairs.However, for ordinary living, he likes to stay in the Sunshine Hall next to the Zichen Hall.

As the name suggests, the Sun Palace is the palace that receives the most sunlight in the palace.The inside of this palace is very warm, and the Sun Palace and the Zichen Palace are very close, but it is not considered a harem. If it is locked at night, the harem cannot enter, and neither can people from the Sun Palace.Tang Luojin liked living here.

"Uncle has also been to the Sunshine Palace. Uncle thinks, how about you and I living there?" Tang Luojin planned to live with Ning Junchi, and it was inconvenient for him to leave the palace, so he naturally thought about it. For starters, let Ning Junchi move into the palace.

——Even if they are like this, there will be some gossip outside.

However, Tang Luojin didn't care about them, and Ning Junchi didn't care about the mere gossip they had been able to bear with each other for more than ten years.

"Sunday Palace?" Ning Junchi thought about it, and said, "It's not bad. It's very warm there, and Xiao Qi lives there, and his body will gradually get better."

Tang Luojin said: "These things come second. It's just that when uncle comes back, he can help me and teach the emperor's younger brother."

Tang Luojin has been on the throne for four years, and now the emperor's younger brother is almost five years old, just the age to teach him well.Tang Luojin originally planned to teach him personally, but he was always busy with affairs, so he didn't have time to teach a child.Now that Ning Jun has come back late, he can help him teach this child, so that the two can get close to each other - so as to avoid future troubles.

Ning Junchi naturally smiled and nodded.

Although Tang Luojin wasn't in a particularly good spirit because she didn't rest all night, she didn't intend to miss the morning court.When they arrived at the Riyao Palace, Tang Luojin told Ning Junchi to take a nap after washing up, and when he finished his morning court, he would come back and sleep with him.

Ning Junchi didn't rest for several days and nights in order to hurry, so he didn't reject the idea.After all, only when he's rested can he do other things he's wanted to do for a long time, can't he?

But even so, Ning Junchi still did not forget to tease Tang Luojin with a slightly hoarse voice: "Sleep together? Xiaoqi, uncle has been waiting for so many years, I am afraid that if Xiaoqi just climbed into uncle's bed, uncle will not be able to bear it." .”

Rao Tang Luojin never showed any expression, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Uncle is wrong, I didn't climb on Uncle's bed, but Uncle came to my bed. So..." He also lowered his eyebrows. The voice said, "For some things, it's better to see the real trick in bed."

Then he quickly turned and left.

Ning Junchi burst out laughing;

Is there a real trick in bed?

Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, have you forgotten that in this world, there are very few disciples who can beat their master.What's more, he kept several hands early.Seeing the real trick in bed... If that's the case, then he won't be polite at all.

Ning Junchi thought about the scene of Tang Luojin being caught by him, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. ——After all, he was on his way, and he didn't close his eyes for several days and nights. Even if he is an iron man, he must rest now.

In the early court, all the courtiers found that although Emperor Tianrui was not in a good spirit today, the blue and black eyes could not be covered, but he was in a very good mood, just like a rainbow after the rain, very strange.

They even discovered that Emperor Tianrui actually laughed today!

Laughed!

Think about it, ever since the first emperor passed away, Emperor Tianrui had been busy with state affairs when he came back from the frontier, when did he smile so happily?

But just now, they all saw Emperor Tianrui smiling!

how could be?how can that be possible?

Could it be that Emperor Tianrui encountered something rare in a hundred years?

Although the courtiers were dying of curiosity, they only thought about it silently in their hearts, and they didn't dare to show it at all.

It's just that after the next court, many people slowly gathered around Cheng Engong and Cheng Engong's son, as if they were planning to make a fool of themselves.

——After all, for them, one of these two is the emperor's grandfather, the other is the emperor's younger uncle, and they are all close friends and elders of the emperor. It makes no sense for the emperor to be so happy that they don't know, right?

In fact, Ning Shan and Ning Junyu really had some guesses in their hearts.

Yesterday was the Longevity Festival, Emperor Tianrui suddenly disappeared after the Longevity Festival, and never came back after disappearing; and yesterday... was also the day when Ning Junchi was about to return to Chang'an City.

Others may not know, but they are very clear about how deeply Ning Junchi's thoughts on Tang Luojin are.

Be it Ningshan or Ning Junyu, after they knew about Tang Luomin and Ning's death, they would feel a little pimple about Tang Luojin more or less in their hearts, but Ning Junchi was different.

Ning Junchi has always been able to distinguish right from wrong. As far as Ning Junchi is concerned, if the Ning family changed sons first, it means that they made mistakes first.Since the Ning family made mistakes first, and made mistakes again and again, they deserved to die, and Tang Luomin did the same. Tang Luojin avenged her father, so what was wrong?And Ning's death... Hehe, should Tang Luojin be responsible for the fault of Ning's daughter killing Ning's daughter?

Ning Shan and Ning Junyu looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

With an idea in mind, Ning Shan and Ning Junyu did not leave the palace immediately, but waited outside the Zichen Palace, wanting to see Emperor Tianrui again.

But Emperor Tianrui had already gone to the Sunshine Palace to catch up on sleep.

The two had no choice but to continue to wait until noon, when Xiao Jing appeared in front of them with a strange expression.

"Your Majesty is still sleeping... But, please come with us, someone... wants to see you."

As soon as Xiao Jing's words came out of his mouth, Ning Shan's heart skipped a beat.

This confused guy!

How can you save him from living in the emperor's palace like this?Living in this way, how should outsiders treat the two of them?That's all for the emperor, the world dare not blatantly say that the emperor is not good, but what about Ning Junchi?Wouldn't Ning Junchi's reputation be ruined?

Ning Shan thought so, when he saw Ning Junchi who had just woken up in the study and was preparing to eat, his face immediately changed.

"Bastard!" Ning Shan scolded, "Since you're back, you should enter Chang'an City in a fair manner, and hand over a message to the emperor. How can you be so cowardly and cowering in this palace? What's it like?"

Ning Shan was really in a hurry, scolding Ning Junchi, his face flushed red.

Ning Junchi only looked at him with a smile, not annoyed.

Seeing Ning Junchi's appearance, Ning Junyu sighed in his heart, so he had to persuade Ning Shan: "Father, don't worry, the third brother is here, maybe...just staying here temporarily? When the rest is over, why don't you go home and live there?" The third brother is the Duke of Xin, and Xiao Qi is the emperor, they have different rulers and ministers, and the third brother is not a relative of the emperor, how can he live in the palace for nothing?"

As he spoke, he winked at Ning Shan.

Ning Shan came back to his senses and looked at Ning Junchi, as if he wanted Ning Junchi to give him a definite answer.

Ning Junchi saw the eyes of his father and fourth brother, and only smiled: "Father and fourth brother have been waiting outside for so long, I think I'm hungry, let's eat quickly." Then he served soup for the two of them himself.

Ning Shan's face suddenly changed: "Are you really unwilling to go home? Do you really want to live in the palace in such a vague way? Do you really want to accompany the emperor like this? For this reason, you don't even want the Ning family! Your reputation is not important If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, what about the Ning family? Does the Ning family mean nothing to you?"

Ning Jun slowly filled the soup, and then looked at Ning Shan seriously.

"Father, do you remember how old Junchi is this year?"

Ning Shan was taken aback.

Ning Jun said slowly: "Junchi this year, [-] out of [-]. Xiaoqi this year, [-] out of [-]. Whether Junchi or Xiaoqi, we are not too young."

"Then, so what?" Ning Shan's face was slightly livid, "Even so, you two are uncles and nephews, and you are also monarchs and ministers, so you shouldn't do such inappropriate things?"

Ning Junyu seemed to be aware of it.

Ning Junchi sighed, looked at Ning Shan and said, "Father still doesn't understand Junchi."

Ning Shan seemed about to get angry.

"Jun Chi came here, so he didn't ask for much. When he was young, he looked forward to family reunion. However, his father, grandfather and elder brothers fought all the year round and rarely returned home. After a long time, Jun Chi will not do this. This cannot be realized. When he was a teenager, Jun Chi wanted to fight on the battlefield and serve the country like his father and brother, but... his father and brother wrote a letter, asking Jun Chi to stay in Chang'an for the rest of his life, and never have to think about things he shouldn't think about. "

Ning Junchi raised his lips slightly sarcastically: "But, that thing that shouldn't be thought about is something that my father and brother have always told Junchi, the thing that Junchi should do the most, and something that Junchi should never forget in his life."

Ning Shan was slightly embarrassed.

Ning Junchi continued: "When he gets older, Junchi will stop thinking about those things. Instead, he wants to keep the place in Chang'an for the Ning family. However, my father doesn't trust me very much. The staff in Chang'an were divided into half and handed over to the second sister, so that Jun Chi could use the remaining half of the staff to complete all the tasks."

Ning Shan remained silent.

"Although it is difficult, it is not difficult for Jun Chi." Ning Junchi said, "It's just that after all these things, there is only one person left in Jun Chi's heart—"

"Xiao Qi." Ning Junchi looked at Ning Shan, and there was a meaning and threat in his eyes that Ning Shan could not understand, "In order to get Xiao Qi, Jun Chi spent 12 years before finally being able to join hands with Xiao Qi."

"If someone destroys us, then, no matter who that person is, I will not show mercy to him."

"After all, from the time I was nine to 34 years old, the person who stayed with me the longest was not you, my father, but Xiao Qi. My Xiao Qi."
