The Return of the Demon

Ning Ziming was being polite to a group of officials.

He accidentally saw Ning Chen, and immediately smiled with a smile on his face, waving to Ning Chen, "Chen'er, come here quickly!"

He wanted to call Ning Chen over to make him look happy.

Ning Chen really got over it.

"Hello, gentlemen!"

Ning Chen leaned over and saluted, and then said: "I would like to thank all of you for speaking up in the court. If there is a chance, Ning Chen will definitely come to thank you!"

"Ning Yinyi is so polite. This is what we should do."

"Yes, yes, we are all working for His Majesty. We cannot just watch Ning Yinyi die unjustly."

"Ning Yinyi is talented and is the reincarnation of the Poet Immortal... If you don't mind, you are always welcome to be a guest in my house."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Okay, definitely! Let's keep in touch with each other more in the future."

When Ning Ziming saw this, he smiled broadly and immediately said, "Chen'er, from now on..."

Before Ning Ziming could finish what he said, Ning Chen turned to look at him, "Who are you? Am I familiar with you?"

Ning Ziming's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

Ning Chen clasped his fists towards the others, "My lords, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, and said to Gao Ziping and others next to him: "Some people are so shameless. They are scum who abandon their wives and children. They have the nerve to lick their faces and have a relationship with me. It's true that people don't know how to be ugly, and horses don't know." Long face."

Gao Ziping and others nodded seriously. Geng Jing asked them to investigate Ning Chen, so they knew a little bit about Ning Chen's family affairs.

Ning Ziming's face turned blue and white, which was wonderful.

The officials looked at him strangely... abandoning his wife and children?

"We all know that Mr. Ning's wife is the Prime Minister's daughter. How can we talk about abandoning his wife and son?"

"I heard that Mr. Ning only has three sons. Which son is this Ning Chen?"

"I have met all three of Lord Ning's sons, but there is no Ning Yinyi at all... Lord Ning, who is Ning Yinyi's mother? I have never heard of Lord Ning taking a concubine?"

"Hey, Master Ning, don't leave, let's talk some more..."

Ning Ziming had a dark face and quickened his pace.

Treason, this bastard is so treasonous, I want to kill him... If his political enemies find out that he abandoned his wife and son, and read his book, with His Majesty's favor towards Ning Chen, he, the Minister of Rites, will have done his job. .

How could he give birth to such a bastard? Ning Ziming cursed in his heart angrily.

"It seems that Ning Yinyi doesn't want to see Mr. Ning as his father."

"I remember that someone visited Mr. Ning before and said that he abandoned his wife and children, but this matter never came to an end."

The officials looked at Ning Ziming's back, their eyes flickering, and they thought about going back to investigate this matter... maybe they can sell Ning Yinyi a favor by then, and Ning Yinyi might give him a masterpiece when he is happy. .

Ning Chen gave General Chen a poem, which raised General Chen's reputation by several levels.

Today I sent His Majesty two more poems, and Your Majesty was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

If you can give yourself a poem, you will be remembered forever.

At this time, Emperor Xuan was already writing quickly in the imperial study room.

What he wrote was exactly the two lines of poetry that Ning Chen flattered him with.

After finishing writing, Emperor Xuan looked at it for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became... Wen Neng can bring peace to the world with his pen, and Wu Neng can ride his horse to determine the world. These two lines of poems are simply tailor-made for me.

Then, he took up his pen and added a line of small characters at the end, which read: Ning Chen presents it to His Majesty Emperor Daxuan.

He looked at it and still felt dissatisfied... He added the word "kneeling" before the word "gift", so it became... Ning Chen knelt down and presented it to His Majesty Emperor Daxuan!

In this way, others would feel that it was not because he, the emperor, was boasting, but that he really could not afford such praise... But Ning Chen knelt on the ground and could not get up. As an emperor, he was considerate of his ministers, so he reluctantly accepted it.

"Quansheng, frame these two poems and hang them behind my dragon chair."

Eunuch Quan said hurriedly: "Yes, I will do it now!"

On the other side, Ning Chen and Gao Ziping were walking out.

"Ning Yinyi, please stay!"

Someone called him from behind.

Ning Chen and others looked back and saw a little eunuch running over panting.

"Father-in-law, is there something wrong?"

The young eunuch hurriedly said: "Ning Yinyi, His Highness the Crown Prince invites you!"

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned to Gao Ziping and others and said, "Then you go back first."

Gao Ziping nodded.

Feng Qizheng winked and lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget, the Jiaofang Secretary is here tonight."

"I won't forget... After I meet the prince, I will go to the Supervision Department to find you."

Ning Chen followed the little eunuch to a pavilion.

The prince is sipping tea.

Ning Chen rubbed his arms, feeling that the prince was not in his right mind... He went to the pavilion to drink tea in such a cold weather. How could a normal person do this?

"Ning Chen, congratulations!"

The prince smiled gently.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ning Chen bowed perfunctorily.

What I was thinking in my mind was, does my exoneration have anything to do with you? In the court, this guy didn't even fart.

"Ning Chen, if you can get away with it this time, in addition to the mercy of the father and the intercession of the civil and military ministers, you also have to thank one person."

Ning Chen asked curiously: "Who?"

"Huai'an."

"Who is Huai'an?"

Prince: "???"

"Huai'an is the ninth princess."

Ning Chen looked confused, "Ninth Princess? I don't know her. Why is she begging me for mercy?"

The prince was speechless, "You have seen her, once in Zhuangyuan Building, and once when I sent you off last time when you went to Zhenyuan County."

Ning Chen thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Is it the little girl with you? So she is the Ninth Princess?"

The corner of the prince's mouth twitched slightly. Only Ning Chen dared to call the Ninth Princess a little girl.

"Yes, she is the Ninth Princess, the most beloved princess of my father."

Ning Chen looked puzzled, "Why did she plead for me?"

"I asked her to go...You killed the uncle with a knife, and my father was in a bad mood those days. I didn't dare to go, so I asked Huai'an to plead for you."

Ning Chen looked at him strangely, you didn't dare to go, so you pushed your sister out?

The prince smiled bitterly, "You don't know, father often scolds me for being stupid, sometimes three times a day, how dare I go? Father loves Huai'an the most, so it's most appropriate for her to plead for you."

Ning Chen wanted to laugh. It seems that this prince is not easy to be, and his life is quite miserable.

"The most important point is that Huai'an is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. She knows what kind of person the uncle is? That's why she went to plead for you."

Clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment? Ning Chen thought to himself, I won't see her, right? I didn't offend her, she saw me with her nose not a nose, her eyes not eyes.

The prince took a sip of tea and smiled, "I think you should say thank you to Huai'an in person!"

Ning Chen nodded, no matter what? The ninth princess did plead for him, no matter if it was useful or not? She has a good heart, and this kindness must be remembered.

"Okay, if there is a chance, I will hold a banquet to thank the Ninth Princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince smiled and said, "No need to wait for a chance... If you want to thank me, I will take you to see Huai'an now."

Ning Chen was slightly startled and asked in surprise, "How can I, an outsider, enter the harem?"

"It's okay for me to accompany you..." The Crown Prince said and stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Huai'an."
