[Tiansheng Long Song] Cinnabar

Tiansheng Emperor's birthday banquet.

As soon as Ning Shizheng took the seat, each of them was in a hurry to come on stage and sing a play.Concubine Chang Gui immediately spoke, wanting Ning Shizheng to give Yao Yangci, the daughter of Prime Minister Yao, to Ning Sheng, but he neither agreed nor denied it.

Seeing this, Ning Yao proposed to present a song and dance to congratulate Ning Shizheng on his birthday, and let Ning Yi play the piano as a companion.Ning Shizheng agreed, but ignored Chang Guifei and the others.

Joy, dance, and Ning Yao also danced.Except for the sound of the zither and singing, the whole hall was silent, the broad sleeves fluttered like the colorful clouds, the jeweled jingle bells on the head swayed, and when the music was loud, he bowed his head up and down, his waist was as soft as a willow .

The singer's singing voice is graceful, Ning Yi's piano sound is brilliant, Ning Yao only concentrates on dancing, thinking to himself, everyone thinks that Ning Yao is not very favored, and he is not good at dancing since he was enlightened late in the Six Arts Poems and Books.Although Ning Shizheng was favored by her eloquence, she knew how to restrain her edge and catch her opponent by surprise.

After the dance, a slightly warm wind blows through, and there is a unique fragrance in the hall.Seeing Ning Shizheng's slightly puzzled expression, Ning Yao smiled and said, "That's right, it's the scent of neem flowers, which is exactly what I've tuned."

Concubine Chang Gui's smile froze for a short time, she said: "The neem flower is just a cluster of wild trees, how can it compare with Jingui's ambergris."

"The fragrance of neem flower is simple yet charming, it's all good." Ning Shizheng laughed.Concubine Chang Gui looked at the carving with a sneer on her delicately made-up face.

The prince's present is over, and according to the birthday banquet process in previous years, there will be opportunities for the ladies of each family to show off their talents. This is also an unwritten practice in the palace - in the past, the princesses of the princes were mostly selected on similar occasions.

Neither Ning Yi nor Ning Ji married a concubine, so today can be regarded as a prestige for them.

Ning Sheng smiled and said: "Today, I will invite Luan Pei out to see who is lucky enough to go. As for the Sixth Prince, Father rewards you a lot on weekdays, so don't be stingy."

Ning Yi kept smiling and remained silent, raised his eyes to glance at Feng Zhiwei who was in the table, and then put the jade around his waist on the jade tray, and heard the clear and crisp sound of pearls and jades colliding in the silence of the hall.

The hearts of countless people jumped up, especially Hua Gongmei, the excitement gradually faded away, pretending to be arrogant, and sat down firmly.

"In the past, it was just a matter of reciting poems and making pairs. Today, the concubine came up with a good idea for the princes and young ladies to have fun." Chang Guifei suggested, "Your Majesty will come up with the topic, and the ladies and princes will write separately. How does His Majesty feel about solving the problem with one word?"

Ning Yao poured a glass of wine and took a sip, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.Concubine Chang Gui came up with tricks to ask Ning Sheng to marry a daughter from a famous family, but she didn't know that Ning Shizheng was the most afraid, and she would definitely not let Ning Sheng marry a powerful family daughter as she wished.

Hua Gongmei was the first to get up to participate, standing in the center of the crowd with her head held high and a smile on her face, her eyes slowly flicked across the seats, the women who met her eyes were a little uneasy and shrank subconsciously.

"Since it's a fun event, naturally my daughter will also participate." Ning Yao blessed his body and said loudly, "Brother Wang, don't you blame your sister for interfering with your lifelong events?"

"It's all for fun, I know you are the most fun, so it's okay!"

After Ning Shizheng said the topic, everyone hurriedly spread paper and ink.The scrolls were sealed and handed in, and Ning Shizheng read them one by one.

Ning Yao smiled, with a hint of sarcasm, raised his eyes to see Hua Gong's eyebrows diagonally across from him, his brows were beaming with joy, his face flushed with excitement.On the other hand, Yao Yangci, the daughter of Prime Minister Yao, became interested and looked calm.

The hall was brightly lit, illuminating Ning Shizheng's expression clearly, most of the time he was calm, suddenly he picked up a scroll and looked at it.

Ning Yao looked a little suspicious, then smiled, and said: "Today's topic is not bad. I am the daughter of the Tiansheng Dynasty family, and she is very talented."

"Top three!" Zhao Yuan reported. "Tanhuajuan, Yao Shi, the daughter of Prime Minister Yao."

"No. [-]!" Zhao Yuan grinned, bowed and replied, "Emperor Concubine Ningyao!"

Ning Yao thanked Ning Shizheng for his kindness, but Shao Ning at the side didn't dare to say anything, he was not good at learning, he knew that he was not destined for the top three, but he just didn't resent her being so prominent.

Ning Yi poured himself a drink, with a relaxed and contented demeanor, and a little bit of gloating.

"The number one scholar, Zhiwei Feng!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Ning Yao smiled proudly, and glanced at Hua Gongmei, who had lost her soul because she missed the top three. She slowly returned to the table, and sat down on the table with a graceful posture.

"It's just for fun." Ning Shizheng smiled, "But you play in the boudoir, what are you doing seriously?"

He raised his glass with a smile and respected Ning Yao from afar.

Ning Yao raised his eyebrows, bowed to his superior, and refused to say a word.

Ning Yi, you owe me another favor.

Ning Yi poured wine for himself, but the glass of wine was still on his lips and he didn't drink it.

"It's just that everything else is fine. It's just that the concubine just took a look. This Sheng'er is written with the same character as Miss Yao." Concubine Chang Gui smiled coquettishly, pointing her eyes at Ning Sheng. "It's really destined."

Yao Yangci got up to accept the blessing, and suggested to read the answer written by the prince next to him. Sure enough, another scroll had the same word.

After Ning Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Ning Qi, his eyes were full of threats, and Ning Qi replied timidly: "My son also mentioned the same word."

Ning Yao sneered, "I'm afraid this is not a good match from heaven, and you're just trying to force it?"

Zhao Yuan saw that Ning Shizheng's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly dealt with him, suggesting to continue to watch the princes presenting gifts.

Ning Yao and Zhe Liu met the birthday ceremony and came to Ning Shizheng to bless him: "My daughter is less talented and less educated than my elder brothers, so I embroidered a picture of longevity, wishing my father a blessing like the East China Sea, and a life longer than Nanshan!"

"Okay!" Ning Shizheng applauded, "Yao'er's craftsmanship has been passed down from Jieyu, so it is naturally a masterpiece!"

Afterwards, Wang Cairen and Ning Qi presented gifts, the two were obsequious, their steps were a little staggering, the mother and son reluctantly smiled and knelt down to Ning Shizheng's blessing, and ordered him to present a birthday gift.

The birthday gift in the box is not something else, but the golden chamber.Ning Qi hurriedly knelt down to intercede, and said: "This is not a congratulatory gift prepared by the concubine mother, I hope the emperor will find out!"

The maid hurriedly knelt down, saying that she might have taken it by mistake.

Ning Yao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this was Chang Guifei's good show today, and muttered with a smile: "It's really interesting."

Concubine Chang Gui's eyes lit up, she grasped the pain of the two and said relentlessly: "How dare you imitate the golden chamber, intending to rebel?"

"Imperial Concubine, this golden chamber is not meant to be imitated. If Brother Seventh King intends to rebel, how could he deliberately expose it to others?" Ning Yao drank the wine in his glass, stood up and knelt down, "I hope the emperor will see clearly. .”

Wang Cairen panicked, crying and shouting: "The concubine didn't do anything, nothing!"

"Did you really do nothing?"

Ning Yi raised his eyes and gave her a gloomy look, which alone made her completely collapse.Naturally, Wang Cairen knew that Ning Yi was talking about Concubine Yan 18 years ago, but Ning Qi interrupted, begging her to stop talking.

Suddenly, the sound of a zither sounded outside the hall.Wang Cairen calmed down, and in just a moment, he was driven mad by the guilt in his heart, and exclaimed: "She is back! It's not me! I didn't mean to harm you! It was Concubine Chang! It was her instruction!"

Ning Yao sucked in a long breath, and smiled angrily, she underestimated her sixth brother, now Concubine Chang Gui couldn't protect herself, she must have forced Ning Sheng to do something.A mocking smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she raised her eyes to stare at Ning Yi.

Amidst a burst of crying, Ning Shizheng suddenly leaned forward, his face was pale, the gold cup in his hand was gone, and it fell at the foot of the table.

As soon as Ning Shizheng fell, everyone could not help but think, if the holy charioteer returns to the west, who will sit in the supreme seat behind him?Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, whose name is written?

Feng Yunxuan was full of commotion, and Ning Yi, who was supposed to take action the most, was completely silent.Ning Yao also imitated his plans to go back to the mansion, ignoring all the movements in the palace, so as to save himself from getting involved in right and wrong.

"Your Highness."

Ning Yao was getting on the carriage from the palace gate to leave, but one person stopped the princess's mount, cupped his hands at the people inside and said, "Yan Huaishi, the housekeeper of the Caomin Wei Mansion, is here to convey the words of Wei Xueshi."

Ning Yao gathered the cloak on his shoulders, and said impatiently, "What orders does Bachelor Wei have?"

"Wei Xueshi said, today is a sleepless night, there will be many uninvited guests coming to Qingming Academy uninvited, the bachelor invites His Royal Highness to sit in Qingming to protect the overall situation."

"I haven't lost my anger yet, but I'm dispatched." Ning Yao still had a sullen face, and his tone was cold. "Forget it, one yard is worth one yard, and this account will be sold out slowly in the future."

After nightfall, the mountains are gloomy and cold, only Qingming is still shining brightly with lanterns.Ning Yao and Zhe Liu rushed all the way back to Qingming, just in case Ning Sheng and his party took advantage of Ning Shizheng's illness to revisit the idea of ​​Jin Kui Yao Lue, they didn't delay for a moment, and it was already late at night when they arrived.

Zhe Liu stepped forward and knocked heavily on the door, and waited several times before someone opened the door, and it was Gu Nanyi who opened the door.

"Why did it take you so long to open the door, you clumsy grandson?"

Ning Yao picked up the bamboo hat and light gauze, pushed open the door fiercely, cursed at Ninja as soon as he got angry, and only saw the figure clearly after the words slipped out of his mouth.I saw Gu Nanyi with a calm expression, standing with folded arms and looking at her.Ning Yao knew that he was being impolite, so he quickly covered his mouth, swallowed saliva, and waited until he regained his composure and corrected his airs a little before talking to Gu Nanyi.

"Why are you here?"

"Help." Gu Nanyi still cherishes words like gold.

Ning Yao stepped into the threshold, so she walked in, but Gu Nanyi followed in two or three steps, blocking her way.

"What are you doing here?"

"Your scholar Wei begged me to come, I can't refuse." Ning Yao stubbornly raised his head to look at him, his tone was a little provocative, Gu Nanyi, who was looking backwards with piercing eyes, was embarrassed, and turned away from her The eyes and cheeks were red and hot, as if they were on fire.

It took Gu Nanyi a while to suppress the blushing on his face, he lowered his head and said, "Let's go."

"Did Feng Zhiwei hide the key to the Golden Chamber in Qingming Academy?" Ning Yao's tone was serious this time.

"Well, Tianzi Academy, it must be safer."

Ning Yao shook her head, "Brothers of mine are not fuel-efficient lamps." She glanced at Gu Nanyi, "For the sake of safety, I must stay with you at all times, for my safety and also for The safety of the Golden Chamber.”

Ning Yao came over suddenly, Gu Nanyi always avoided people three feet away, never liked people getting too close, this was the first time he didn't dodge.Gu Nanyi was nervous and at a loss, and saw the veil fluttering with the breeze, and the pretty face behind the veil was getting closer and closer, Gu Nanyi closed his eyes with a snap.

Ning Yao just leaned into his ear and said: "You have a good idea, hurry up and lead me the way."

Opening his eyes and seeing that Ning Yao had already walked ahead, Gu Nanyi couldn't help but laugh, laughing at himself that he really underestimated Ning Yao. He felt that Ning Yao had feelings for him that were different from those of a master, servant and friend, but it was just that he thought Ning Yao too much. Frivolous, she is the emperor of the Tian family, how can she do such a rude and hooligan thing.

Ning Yao returned to the courtyard where he originally lived, sat on the Arhat couch and spread the ink on the paper, glanced at Gu Nanyi standing outside the curtain from time to time, biting the tip of the pen, and outlined Gu Nanyi's face stroke by stroke.She held her chin and looked at Gu Nanyi greedily, complaining about this idiot in her heart, didn't she know how to explain what happened before?If he said it, she would believe everything.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and the outsider reported that Ning Sheng sent Shao Ning to Qingming Academy.Gu Nanyi looked back at Ning Yao, Ning Yao who was hidden in the dark, his expression on his face was blurred by the light, he just nodded.

She rolled up her sleeves, stared deeply at Gu Nanyi for a while, "You don't have anything to say?"

Gu Nanyi stared at Ning Yao dumbfounded, he didn't know how to explain it, as if he was wrong no matter what he said.

"Your Highness..." Gu Nanyi made a deep bow, and he had already attached all his apologies and shame, and he could not afford to bow deeply for a long time.

"I just want you to explain, can't that?"

"I should follow my teacher's order to protect her well, and I will do my best not to allow others to hurt her." Gu Nanyi's voice was bright and powerful, "But I promised to protect His Highness, and I will do my best not to let others Hurt you every bit."

Ning Yao smiled helplessly, "It's as if you didn't say anything, that's all, I won't force you."

After speaking, she stepped into the bedroom and never looked back.
