Crossing the East Palace

"Be good. Xiaoqi, be good."

When Ning Junchi said this, his dark eyes kept looking at Tang Luojin.

Tang Luojin: "..." Isn't that what he just told his little nephew?Why did Ning Junchi still tell him?

It was as if...he was the same age as his little nephew.

So Tang Luojin pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ning Junchi stood beside the horse, looked at him for a while, smiled slightly, and led the horse, becoming a groom for real. Tang Luojin sat on the horse, and he stood beside the horse, and left.

Tang Luojin frowned slightly, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse - no matter what, there are some things that must be made clear.

only--

He waved to Zhu Keshan behind him.

Zhu Keshan quickly stepped forward: "Your Highness?"

"Go to Qing Huan and tell him that Gu will not visit him today."

Tang Luojin met Qing Huan when she was three years old. Although the age difference between the two was huge, and their identities were even more different, Tang Luojin inexplicably liked to run to Qing Huan.

Ever since he left Chang'an three years ago and returned this time, Tang Luojin has never had time to see Qing Huan.I was thinking of going to have a look today, but I was cut off by Ning Junchi.I can't go again.

Zhu Keshan said: "Okay. I will go there in person."

After all, he turned the horse's head and left.

Ning Junchi continued to lead the horse forward.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Tang Luojin said suddenly: "This is not the way to Ningfu."

When Ning Junchi heard Tang Luojin talking to him, he was very happy in his heart. He turned his head and said, "You can't say that. We will not go to Cheng'en Gong's mansion this time, but to my Xin Guo Gong's mansion."

The Ning family has two families.

One is the title of Lord Xin Guo handed down by the ancestors of the Ning family, and the other is the title of Duke Cheng En obtained because the queen married into the palace.

The former was inherited by Ning Junchi, while the latter was still on the top of Ningshan Mountain, and the position of heir was given to Ning Junyu who was on the border.

Ning Junchi had been living in Cheng'en Gong's Mansion before. Tang Luojin went to look for him when he was a child, and he also went to Cheng'en Gong's Mansion, so he always thought that Ning Junchi would take him to Cheng'en Gong's Mansion, but Ning Junchi Chi took him to another place.

Tang Luojin stopped talking.

But Ning Junchi continued: "Although Cheng'en Gong's mansion is good, it is already the fourth brother's place." Not only he now moves to live in Xin Guogong's mansion every now and then, but also the second brother, although he lives every day In Cheng'en Gong's mansion, he taught Ning Junyu's seven children together with him, but the second brother also bought another house early outside Cheng'en's mansion.Occasionally, when I sneak away during the day, I also go out to live in my own house.

——Although the second brother did not inherit the title of the family due to guilt, after many years of fighting, the monthly money given to him by the family, the reward from the emperor, the gifts specially given to him received over the years, and the war... All these things add up, and the second brother also earns a lot of money.It's not surprising to have a house outside.

Tang Luojin thought that although the brothers of the Ning family were united, they each bought a house.This is not necessarily a bad thing for the court.

Just as he was thinking about being lost in thought, Ning Junchi continued: "Uncle always wants to take Xiaoqi to his own home."

Tang Luojin was startled, and looked down at the man who led the horse for him regardless of his status.

Ning Junchi smiled slightly and looked at him gently.

Tang Luojin was slightly dazed.

He knew about Ning Junchi.Although Ning Junchi seemed to smile often in front of him, in front of others, Ning Junchi didn't have much expression on his face compared to him.It's just maybe because he has developed facial paralysis in order to pretend to be stupid since he was a child. Since Ning Junchi discovered this, he often smiled in front of him.

Tang Luojin could probably guess that Ning Junchi did this because he hoped that he could be more casual and happy like a normal person.

But when Tang Luojin was kicked out of the house by her father because of "half coming out" in her previous life, she was not so casual.He was arrogant at the time, and although his father misunderstood him, he didn't intend to explain anything.After all, at that time, he had just discovered that he didn't seem to be so repulsive to men and women.But he would choose a man or a woman as his partner in the end. He didn't know it at the time, so he just tried his best to transform himself from the rich second generation of local tyrants who were kicked out of the house into the first generation of local tyrants, who endured hardship and worked hard on their own.

Although the suffering was really bitter, his life was not in danger at that time, so although it was hard, he would still laugh and be annoyed.

But after time travelling, when Tang Luojin was still a baby, the queen refused to let him go.Tang Luojin didn't want to die, she didn't want to die, so she could only treat herself as a fool, and the queen didn't bother to do anything at that time.The fool pretended to be a fool for a long time, and when he was able to recover, he was afraid that the world would regard him as a "monster who was about to be burned", so he had to spend a year or two to gradually make himself more and more normal.

After such a long time, it is not bad for Tang Luojin to keep her heart calm. As for ordinary people's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys... For Tang Luojin's current status, it would make people around her less expressive on weekdays. People were in awe of him, and since that was the case, Tang Luojin naturally had no intention of changing it.

Emperor Tianyuan thought that his little Qi was born this way, when he just brought Tang Luojin back, he tried a few times but gave up.Probably in Emperor Tianyuan's heart, since Tang Luojin was born like this and has the status of a prince, it's okay to be expressionless.Forcing him to laugh like an ordinary person might be a kind of torture to Tang Luojin.

But Ning Junchi never gave up.

Ning Junchi changed from not liking to laugh, to often smiling in front of Tang Luojin, just to let Tang Luojin relax a bit.

Tang Luojin didn't know where Ning Junchi found these.But even so, for him, there are still too many things between him and Ning Junchi. Maybe Ning Junchi is really magnanimous, he can think about everything, and he can let go of some things, no Transfer the anger of the queen and the twelve princes to Ning Junchi.

However, Tang Luojin's status determined that he must sit in that position.

He knows he can't lose.Since you can't lose, as a prince, but you don't have a son or a son, it's not good.

In particular, Tang Luojin discovered that after the Twelve Princes, in Emperor Tianyuan's harem, only one court lady was pregnant at the beginning of the year.If the palace lady's child was born, it happened to be seventeen or eighteen years younger than him, so it would be fine for him to take it over and raise him as a son.However, the maid's child was gone.

Tang Luojin frowned slightly.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to adopt his father's youngest son.

Also, father's body...is it really bad again?Otherwise, how could there be fewer and fewer princes and daughters in the imperial father's harem?One must know that although Emperor Tianyuan was not flirtatious, he still had the same thoughts as ordinary men at this time - he liked to have many children and grandchildren.He had grown up, even if Emperor Tianyuan gave birth to a son, he would not mind, but there was no news from Emperor Tianyuan's harem for a long time.

Tang Luojin was originally thinking about the things between herself and Ning Junchi, but after thinking about it, she thought about her father's harem and the twelve princes who had left.Master Baiye said that when a foreign star came to the world, he would inherit the throne ahead of schedule.Does that mean that the father died early because of his poor health?And the youngest son that the father would have originally disappeared because of the twelve princes?And he originally...was actually possible to adopt his father's youngest son?

Since Emperor Tianyuan was a Ming emperor, he was not pedantic.If he "failed" to conceive the concubines of the Eastern Palace for many years, and then proposed to let Emperor Tianyuan's youngest son be the "Emperor's younger brother" in the future, Emperor Tianyuan might not seriously agree.And he and Ning Junchi, maybe it's not impossible.But now...

If his father is really seriously ill, he can't ignore his father.Especially, the father is never willing to embarrass him, but he is willing and able to embarrass Ning Junchi.

The dog is in a hurry and wants to jump over the wall. Although the twelve princes are reborn, they are not smart. If the twelve princes say this, maybe he only needs to face the matter of getting married and having children, but Ning Junchi... …

Tang Luojin was in a daze for a while, he always thought that he only had use and gratitude to Ning Junchi, and had no other affection.But now it seems...

The horse stopped suddenly, and Tang Luojin stretched out a hand in front of him.

"Come down?" Ning Junchi raised the corners of his lips and said, "Or, uncle will carry you down? Like... before?"

Tang Luojin dismounted expressionlessly.

Standing at the gate of Duke Xinguo's mansion, Tang Luojin didn't go in, but with a wave of his hand, he drove everyone to a distance of four or five feet, and stood with his head bowed.

There are some things that he has to say now.

"Grandmother and father, these few days, are..."

Before Tang Luojin finished speaking, Ning Junchi interrupted him.

"Is Xiaoqi afraid that my uncle will feel bad for you for the sake of the queen and the twelve princes?" Ning Junchi looked leisurely, but spoke faster than usual, "A mistake is a mistake. The second sister and Min'er are confused and afraid Xiao Qi has suffered so much, they should have compensated Xiao Qi for Xiao Qi's position. What's more... Min'er is young, even if he doesn't have the status of a son-in-law, Xiao Qi may not be able to be the prince. It is compensation, It's still over."

Ning Junchi's eyes kept staring at Tang Luojin, as if he wanted to see the young man's thoughts from the young man's face.

"This is yours. Uncle will personally write a letter to persuade father. If His Majesty allows it, uncle will personally go to the border and explain this matter to father in detail. Importantly, father will never be unfaithful to Da Tang, nor will he be unfaithful to Xiao Qi because of this. Xiao Qi can feel at ease about these things."

Ning Junchi was always thinking about how to persuade Tang Luojin.

He had a hunch that if he didn't say these words, the young man in front of him would say something he didn't want to hear and didn't want to hear.

"Uncle." Tang Luojin said slowly, "Gu has already decided that next month, Gu's East Palace will welcome two good consorts."

Ning Junchi only clenched his fist slightly, and said: "Does Xiao Qi want that position? Uncle is not talented, but he is willing to do anything for Xiao Qi. If Xiao Qi is really worried, next month, uncle will find a way Let Junyu come back, and uncle will go to the border in person to take over the military power, and help Xiaoqi successfully get that position. So, why is the marriage... so necessary?"

Tang Luojin avoided Ning Junchi's gaze, and said to himself: "I gave my uncle a painting when I was alone, do you remember? That painting, I was alone, I gave it to the wrong person."

"Please uncle, return the painting to Gu."

In this way, they will have no more entanglements.

Tang Luojin was thinking this, but Ning Junchi suddenly moved and started fighting with him.

Tang Luojin: "..." What does this mean?

However, his subordinates continued to make moves. The guard not far away saw him and was about to rush forward with a knife, but Xiao Jing waved his hand and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness and Xin Guogong should be practicing boxing. When we were at the border , Your Highness and Duke Xin often fight like this! This is called hello!"

Tang Luojin, who was not injured by Ning Junchi's punch, but was powerless to fight back: "..."

At this moment, Zhu Keshan was telling Qing Huan about Tang Luojin's absence.

Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and sent Zhu Keshan away.

When he returned to the room alone, his expression changed when he saw the woman coming out from behind the screen.

But the woman said: "Your Highness won't come? It's a pity."

Qing Huan said: "Qing He, get out of here immediately!"

The author has something to say: Do you still remember Qing He?It was Qing Huan who was with Qing Huan back then, Qing He danced and Qing Huan played the piano.But Qing Huan stayed by Tangtang's side all the time, and Qing He later married Cong Liang (of course the article hasn't had time to mention this)~~ and it's really not too cruel~~ she won't be too cruel to her uncle
