Zhennan Palace.

Zhu Dongjun was lying on the bed with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The old doctor squinted his eyes to feel his pulse, and it took half a cup of tea.

After hearing the news, Zhu Yijun who came over saw the injury on his younger brother's face, and the beautiful eyes that were exposed outside the veil slightly sank, stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my younger brother?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's just some skin trauma, but..."

"But how?" Zhu Yijun asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" The old doctor opened his eyes, stroked his gray beard with a smile, shook his head and said, "My old man seems to have signs of taking Ruanjin powder in his body, it doesn't matter, just rest for two days."

Zhu Yijun arranged for the housekeeper to send the old doctor out of the house, turned around, his eyes darkened, and said, "What trouble did you cause outside?"

"I'm wronged, my sister——hiss!" Zhu Dongjun was most afraid of making his sister angry, so he sat up in a panic, moving too much and hurting his wounds, he gasped in pain, and it took him a long time to relax Overwhelmed, he said aggrievedly: "Since I came back from Prince Ning's mansion last time, I have stayed at home peacefully. Yesterday Song Yanming and Chen Yunliu invited me out for a drink. I thought that King Ning was recuperating in the mansion recently, so I accepted them." Who would have thought that these two bastards would dare to harm me—”

"It's not them." Zhu Yijun interrupted him, "These two people have a very close relationship with you, and they definitely won't do this trick. Think about it again, but who else have you offended?"

"Except for King Ning, who else have I offended?" Zhu Dongjun grumbled, "Sister, why don't you always believe me? When I got into trouble with King Ning, it was King Ning who did it first. Said to give Hongmei to him, but he was still entangled, and even said to find someone to beat me to death... I am not a wimp, he threatened me like this, can I not beat him?"

Zhu Dongjun was just a 16-year-old boy at that time, young and vigorous, how could he stand up to Xiao Mian's provocation?

Zhu Yijun understands his younger brother's character, and knows that he is not a temperament that makes enemies easily, so this is strange, who did it?

He comforted his younger brother, returned to his boudoir, and silently counted in his heart a few people who had trouble with the Zhu family, but after careful consideration, it didn't seem like these people did it. It seemed that he just wanted to make brother suffer a little bit, and didn't intend to kill him.

And King Ning——

He analyzed King Ning's character. This person has a domineering personality and acts extremely arrogantly. Except for the queen mother and the emperor, even the queen, concubine and a few princes are not in his eyes. He fought openly and aboveboard, and never used such third-rate methods. This is the only advantage that can be found in him, and it doesn't seem like he did it, but——

Ever since he almost beat someone to death at a palace banquet last time, King Ning changed his previous attitude, first he let himself and brother off without hesitation, and in the end brother came to plead guilty, and he did it lightly, doing things like this, It made him a little unpredictable.

Zhu Yijun wanted to send someone to investigate the matter, but Adi didn't even see the person who beat him, and he didn't know where he was. This made him unable to start investigating, so he could only investigate Adi first. Wine restaurant.

The restaurant where Zhu Dongjun eats wine is called "Jiuxiang", and the owner behind it is Prince Ping.

Prince Ping's surname is Xiao, and his father, King Ping, was the brother of the late emperor. King Ping loves money and likes to study how to make money. This is in the era of scholars, farmers, businessmen, what a good prince can do, and he likes to be a merchant.

King Ping was not ashamed but proud. His son King Ping inherited his "advantage" of loving money like his life, and even doubled the family property several times out of blue.

At the same time, he was also a popular man in front of the emperor.

why?

Because most of his assets were contributed to the treasury.

Faced with such a person, Zhu Yijun wanted to investigate 'Jiuxiang', so naturally he couldn't make it clear.

Ning Zhi on the other end swept away the gloom in his heart, and asked the palace maid to send a message to the Queen Mother, saying that he had something to discuss.

The Empress Dowager was afraid that her son would bring up the past again, so she avoided seeing Ning Zhi.

Ning Zhi sees that he can't do it once, then invite him again, or not, he thought for a while, and asked the maid to tell the Queen Mother that if he didn't come, he would enter the palace himself.

The queen mother, who was reluctant to bear her son's hardship, finally came.

Seeing the Queen Mother again, she was quite haggard.

Lying on the bed, Ning Zhi blamed himself a bit: "The son is unfilial, he actually made the empress so sad."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, and said melancholy: "It's God's will, that's all! Empress Mother, I'm not going out, and I want to go back to the fief."

"How can this be done? Your body can't withstand a long journey." The queen mother was overjoyed at first when she heard her son say that she would not go home, and then she couldn't sit still when she heard her son said that she was going back to the fief. Thieves and bandits are infested, and the fiefdom is not as convenient as the capital.

The queen mother took all the dangers that could be imagined into consideration, but Ningzhi remained unmoved, and said bluntly that he would either become a monk or return to the fief, and implicitly said that Jiangnan is a good place, which is very suitable for him to cultivate his body.

The Queen Mother was well aware of her son's stubborn character, and knew that there was no room for maneuver this time, so she had no choice but to go back and think about it.

After returning to the palace, she had a long secret talk with the emperor. In the second hall, the emperor changed Ningzhi's fiefdom from the Huainan River region to Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice.

Ning Zhi got what he wanted, a rare smile appeared on his face, and then he ordered the housekeeper to pack up his things and leave as soon as possible.

On the night before departure, the emperor gave him two secret guards. The queen mother was still worried about her son, fearing that her son who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River would secretly become a monk behind her back, so she sent ten beautiful beauties overnight!

Ning Zhi: "..."

When he didn't see the beauty, Ning Zhi didn't realize it. After all, it was his first time to visit the ancient times, and after he came, he either fell asleep or slept all day long, so naturally he didn't pay attention to Xiao Mian's backyard. See you now Seeing the beauty sent by the Queen Mother, it suddenly occurred to me that there seemed to be three concubines living in Xiao Mian's backyard? !

Ning Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked the housekeeper to inform him that those who were willing to follow quickly packed up and set off tomorrow morning, and those who were not willing to go, he was willing to let them go, and would even subsidize the dowry.

The time given by Ning Zhi was too short, and the three concubines couldn't believe it, so when Ning Zhi was pushed onto the boat the next day, all three concubines were with him.

Women in ancient times had no human rights, especially in a position like Xiao Mian, so Ning Zhi would not embarrass a few women just because of such a trivial matter.

He looked at the restless woman, and knew that this was a problem left by Xiao Mian, so he ordered Yuan Bao to arrange a rest room for the three women. As for the other ten beauties, Ning Zhi coughed for a while, The queen mother took it back early in the morning.

Starting from the capital, it takes about seven days to go to the south of the Yangtze River by boat.

Ning Zhi strengthened his soul power to repair his body at night, and was pushed by Yuan Bao to move around the deck during the day.

The imperial physician who accompanied him secretly marveled at King Ning's physical recovery ability, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just reduced the daily medicine silently, then sat on the deck and looked sadly at the sky, thinking of his colleagues far away in the capital.

Seven days later, the ship arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and his health was slowly improving.

He took the [-] soldiers given by the emperor, refused to see the officials in the Jiangnan area on the grounds that he was unwell, and then went straight to his mansion with the troops.

Xiao Mian's emperor brother is very interesting. In Xiao Mian's memory, the emperor dotes on him very much, more than the emperor's own children. But in those days when Ning Zhi was lying unable to move, this emperor My brother only came to see him once, and the purpose of coming was to test whether he really wanted to become a monk or not.

The emperor changed his fiefdom from Huainan to Jiangnan. He didn't know what happened in it for the time being, but he guessed that it should be related to the queen mother.

But this time when he came to Jiangnan, the emperor not only gave him two secret guards, but also generously sent him five thousand personal soldiers. This was the first time in the history of this world.

Ning Zhi didn't bother to guess the mind of the superior. After all, he was sloppy with the Buddhist character design, so naturally he was not afraid of whether those personal soldiers were loyal to him, as long as the person close to him was his own.

He stayed in the mansion for a month, during which an official visited, and he asked the housekeeper to tell him that he was here to recuperate from his injuries, and the person who came here understood the hint and naturally would not bother him again.

Located in a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, few officials have clean hands.

Ning Zhi has a high status and has soldiers in his hands, so he doesn't need to be afraid of these officials at all, and he has not violated the interests of these people, so these people will naturally not come to disturb him.

Everyone lived together peacefully until Ningzhi recovered——

The first thing he did after he recovered was to hide his identity and go to the school under the pseudonym Ningzhi.

In the school, he met a student named Wang Qingyuan. This Wang Qingyuan was a man with a deep heart.

When he participated in the first provincial examination, there was a fight in the inn where he stayed. One of the red-eyed people picked up the bench and missed the opponent with one blow. Instead, he smashed Wang Qingyuan's head, so he missed the first provincial examination.

For the second rural examination, he remembered his previous lessons and rented a quiet courtyard with others, but on the night before the rural examination, he did not know what he ate by mistake, which caused him to vomit and diarrhea, so that he missed the rural examination again.

Next year will be his third time to participate in the provincial examination.

He now has a shadow over the township examination, but he has nothing to do with the unknown danger.

But Ning Zhi knew that Wang Qingyuan would give up participating in the township examination next year, and instead join the Zhennan King to work for the Zhennan King. At the same time, he would have a sadistic relationship with 'Zhu Yijun'.

That's why Ning Zhi wanted to come to Jiangnan.

Ning Zhi invited Wang Qingyuan to drink a few times, the two of them cherished each other during the conversation, and gradually became confidantes.

March [-]rd is the day when Yangzhou Baihualou chooses the oiran.

As a romantic talent, the students in the school were discussing this matter early in the morning.

Wang Qingyuan came to look for Ning Zhi, talked about this matter with great interest, and said that he had already written a poem, and he only wanted to give it to the oiran at night.

Nowadays, literati like to go to brothels and write poems and lyrics for brothel girls. This is an arty trend, and it is also because it is sung by Qingguan, which can make the owner of the poems famous.

Wang Qingyuan obviously had the same idea.

Ning Zhi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, I wish you the honor to be the guest of the oiran in advance."

Wang Qingyuan asked curiously: "Brother Ning, your literary talent is higher than mine, why don't you join me? Could it be that you also look down on those women?"

Ning Zhi shook his head, "That's not the case. I write lyrics and poems only for hobby, not for fame. Besides, I'm not interested in the oiran. Three beautiful concubines are enough!"

"That's how it is." Wang Qingyuan learned that Ning Zhi had a beautiful concubine in his family, so he stopped persuading him and instead invited him to go boating by the lake.
