The night is cold as water.
In the nameless mansion next door to the Ning Mansion, the servants were busy walking around, and another person was sent from the kitchen to ask Wang Quan tentatively, "This dish is hot again, isn't the lord yet to pass the meal?"
Wang Quan hurriedly stopped him, and he didn't know how many times he repeated: "The lord hasn't ordered yet, let the kitchen wait!"
With an answer, the people in the kitchen went back again.
Wang Quan went around another corner, and sure enough, he saw someone standing outside the door, Chu Fei patted the door, still begging for mercy: "A Nuan, I was wrong, I shouldn't hide this from you, let me in Bar."
The house was brightly lit, but nothing was said.
Wang Quan just walked over and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is the wangfei still alive?"
Chu Fei glanced back at him, the meaning is self-evident. If Ah Nuan was relieved, why would he be locked out of the door and laughed at by others
The servants around the house have all been driven away. In the eyes of others, they only know that their prince and princess are having trouble for some reason, but no one knows that their prince is locked out by the princess and not allowed to enter such a shameful thing. . The only one who knows is Wang Quan.
Wang Quan said in a low voice, "My lord, if you take it easy, maybe the anger of the princess will disappear?"
Chu Fei stared: Is his soft clothes not enough
He turned his head and continued to pat the door again, begging: "A Nuan, you let me in, look, there are so many people outside, I am a dignified prince, but they all saw jokes, and said that Wang Quan, in my heart I still don't know how to arrange me, my face as a prince is gone, A Nuan, don't you think?"
Wang Quan's eyes widened, he never expected that their prince would even use him as a shield. But how dare he arrange their prince
There was still silence in the house.
Chu Fei had to change his routine: "A Nuan, look, it's getting late, the kitchen has already prepared dinner, you haven't eaten anything yet, and I'm hungry. If you are hungry, not only will you be tired, but I will also feel very distressed. If you are really going to be angry, at least eat your dinner first, and then continue to be angry when you are done, okay?"
There was still no movement in the house.
Chu Fei was about to be disappointed when suddenly he heard a creak, and the light inside leaked out. He suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked inside, and sure enough, he saw Ning Nuan standing at the door with a stern face, and his face was not good-looking.
Chu Fei didn't mind either, and immediately leaned over and said earnestly, "A Nuan, do you feel hungry? I immediately ordered the kitchen to bring dinner."
He said, and immediately turned his head: "Wang Quan!"
Wang Quan got the order and ran out in a hurry.
The servants of the palace moved quickly, and when the two walked to the dining room to sit down, the table was already full of dishes. Chu Fei served her dishes diligently: "A Nuan, try this, it's all you like."
Ning Nuan's face was stern, the chopsticks avoided what he was holding, and he was silent.
Chu Fei was embarrassed, but his attitude was still as diligent as before. After dinner, he followed Ning Nuan back step by step, and when Xiang Tao closed the door, he quickly got in.
"A Nuan." He leaned in front of Ning Nuan and showed a smile to please: "If you are angry, you can throw your temper on me, don't hold it in your heart, be careful that you will damage your body."
Ning Nuan gave him a cool look and raised his eyebrows again.
Chu Fei immediately said, "I promised you everything, and I have told you everything I have kept from you."
"Before we got married, the lord didn't tell me this." Ning Nuan said softly, "If it wasn't for the lord who leaked his words this time, how long would he want to hide from me?"
Chu Fei embarrassed: "I don't really want to hide from you."
Ning Nuan's voice was still soft; "Your Highness has already made such a plan a long time ago, but now, looking at it, you have already made preparations for a long time. Before I got married, I asked Your Highness something, but His Highness kept it from me and said it was to wait. Tell me after you get married..."
The more Ning Nuan spoke, the more guilty Chu Fei's expression became, and the lower his head became.
"...Looking at what the lord means, it seems to me that he is deliberately trying to hide it from me. After I got married, the lord was relieved and willing to tell me about it."
"Nuan, that's not what I meant. I just... just... "
"Just what?" Ning Nuan asked him softly.
Chu Fei's aura was as low as the dust, and he said in an earnest voice, "I'm just worried, you know too much, and it will hurt you."
Ning Nuan showed no anger on his face, but his tone was still soft: "Then what the lord means, if I don't know anything, this matter will have nothing to do with me? As the prince's concubine, if the prince does something wrong , how can we clean up the relationship. The lord hides it from me, and plans to wait until the matter can't be covered, and then tell me?"
Chu Fei said regularly: "I didn't mean that either..."
"Then according to the prince's intention, when are you planning to tell me about this?"
Chu Fei thought for a while, then tentatively said: "I originally planned to let you know in a few days..."
Halfway through his words, Ning Nuan suddenly turned a face, and immediately frightened him back with the remaining words that he had not finished speaking. As soon as Chu Fei choked, the courage he had just mentioned immediately dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and there was nothing left.
"I remember something else."
Chu Fei trembled in his heart: "A Nuan, say it."
"My lord asked my brother to go to Qingzhou, is it really to do some business in Qingzhou?"
"Naturally." Chu Fei pretended to be calm and said, "You have also read the accounts, and you should know that some of the money in this account was earned from Qingzhou. If you don't believe it, just reconcile the accounts."
"Then how does the lord let brother and Miss Yang befriend?"
"She is the leader of the Qingzhou Mountain Bandit, and it is also for the convenience of making friends with her, so as to save her trouble."
"really?"
"Exactly!"
Ning Nuan nodded and asked softly, "Then when the lord proposed to kiss earlier, he promised my father that if something happened, we would definitely protect our Ning family. What my father said was what the lord told me today. How many people in our Ning family, it seems that I'm the only one who doesn't know the prince's plan?"
"..."
Chu Fei immediately broke out in cold sweat.
…
Ning Lang saw the palace carriage drive out with his own eyes, but when he went out the next time, he saw the same carriage driving back and stopped at the door of the next door.
He wondered in his heart for a long time, and thought it was his mistake, until he casually mentioned it to Jiang Yunlan during dinner, Jiang Yunlan suddenly said: "I forgot to tell you that the mansion of the Xu family next door was given to King An. I bought it, I saw it last time, after he got engaged with A Nuan, he secretly climbed over the wall and climbed into A Nuan's yard, but luckily I found him."
Ning Lang was shocked: "What? It turns out that King An has always lived next door?!"
"Well, I just moved back a few days ago."
"No wonder I went to Prince An's mansion several times, but every time I couldn't meet Prince An. It turns out that he moved to the next door." Ning Lang grimaced; "If I knew this, I ran to the next door and beat him up. Paused."
"I heard you say that their carriage is back? This handsome mansion can't live anymore, and come to live next door again?"
Yang Zhen suddenly said: "I heard someone talking today that there are assassins in the palace."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Ning Lang took the lead in saying: "There are assassins again? The palace is so dangerous, how can A Nuan be allowed to live there?"
"No wonder, it turned out to be an assassin, then the palace must not be able to live anymore, no wonder they have to come back here again." Jiang Yunlan suddenly realized: "I don't know if they will live for a few days, if they live for a long time, I will go tomorrow. Find Ah Nuan."
Ning Yanting nodded.
Ning Lang couldn't wait so long.
After he had dinner, he talked to Yang Zhen and ran out. It was already curfew time outside, but fortunately, the temporary house was next door, and he arrived within two steps. The gatekeeper knew him, went in and notified him, and Wang Quan walked out quickly.
Wang Quan led him inside, and as he walked, he cautiously said, "Young Master Ning is inside, if you see anything, don't make a sound."
Ning Lang wondered, "What happened?"
Wang Quan nodded vaguely.
Ning Lang immediately became nervous: "Could it be that my sister was injured? I heard that your palace has sent an assassin. Could it be that she accidentally injured her?"
"It's not the princess." Wang Quan was even more vague: "It's our prince."
Hearing that it was Chu Fei, Ning Lang was half-hearted.
It wasn't until he was taken into the backyard that he realized what had happened.
I saw a person kneeling in front of the house door, and when Ning Lang got closer, he saw that it was Prince An. Chu Fei knelt outside the door, with a washboard from the laundry maid under his knees. He bowed his head and arched his back, looking lost.
Ning Lang was startled, and then he couldn't help laughing out of schadenfreude: "What happened, the dignified Prince An is actually kneeling here? If people see it, I'm afraid the whole capital will laugh at you tomorrow."
Chu Fei raised his eyes and glanced at him sullenly, without saying a word, he quickly retracted his gaze, and knelt down with drooping eyelids.
There is no one else around here, all the servants have been driven away, and only a few of them saw him like this. Chu Fei rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, after leaving the gate of the palace, no one knew that he was punished for kneeling. In front of outsiders, he was still the glorious King An.
Ning Lang stood beside him and laughed twice. After he stopped laughing, he was about to ask him what happened when he heard a creak. He raised his head and saw Ning Nuan standing at the door.
"Ah Nuan." Ning Lang said happily, "I heard that you are here, so I will come to see you."
Ning Nuan nodded, gave him a deep look, and turned sideways to make way for him: "Brother came just right, and I have something to ask my brother."
Ning Lang: "..."
For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
