The masters in the Ning Mansion stayed up all night, and when they got up for breakfast the next day, everyone's eyes were clearly blue and black.
Everyone has things in their minds, and they don't even eat breakfast.
Ning Yanting still had official business, so he went out early in the morning, leaving Jiang Yunlan and Ning Lang at home, turning his head to look next door from time to time, worried.
Yang Zhen was the most calm person among them. The two paced back and forth in the room, and when she sighed repeatedly, she sat on the side eating oranges, extremely calm.
"I don't know how Ah Nuan will think after returning." Ning Lang said worriedly, "I don't know if An Wang can persuade her, but she must not think about it..." Before he finished speaking, he started He was slapped by Jiang Yunlan.
Jiang Yunlan scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ning Lang shrank his neck and did not dare to say any more.
Jiang Yunlan also sighed: "I couldn't sleep all night, so I was worried that A Nuan would not agree. This is so good, why did Wang An leak his mouth and let A Nuan know about it. Now it's better, she is angry, I don't know if I can persuade me."
Why they agreed to King An was naturally because of their previous life, but A Nuan didn't understand. Among them, only A Nuan didn't know anything, but she was really worried that A Nuan would not be able to think about it.
I don't know if An Wang can convince A Nuan...
Jiang Yunlan thought about it, and looked outside the house worriedly, only to see people rushing by outside.
"Madam, His Royal Highness Prince An and Miss An are back!"
Jiang Yunlan was shocked and stood up quickly. She got up to meet her, and she saw Ning Nuan and Chu Fei walking in. She looked at Ning Nuan carefully. Ning Nuan looked good, and she didn't know if she was still angry about what happened yesterday. Jiang Yunlan looked at her several times and saw that there was no anger on her face, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Let go of half of my heart.
She looked at Chu Fei again. On the contrary, Chu Fei's complexion was rather ugly, and his eyes were dark. At first glance, it seemed that he hadn't slept well last night. Compared with Ning Nuan, he seemed to have a sudden Someone who knows a great thing.
"Ah Nuan?" Jiang Yunlan sat down with her daughter nervously, and said hesitantly, "Last night..."
"Mother, I already know, the lord has explained it to me clearly." Ning Nuan nodded, his face no longer the anger of yesterday: "I also told the lord, if anything happens in the future, he should not do it again. If you hide from me, so do you, if you hide anything from me, I will be angry."
"Of course." Jiang Yunlan said quickly, "My mother will tell you everything in the future, and I will never hide it from you again."
Ning Nuan nodded and agreed.
Jiang Yunlan didn't expect her reaction would be so dull, and she was a little stunned for a while.
"Ah Nuan, that's it... You don't ask anything else?" Jiang Yunlan asked tentatively, "Have you figured it out?"
"I have already married the prince, and the prince's meaning is naturally mine," Ning Nuan said.
Jiang Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief, and the half of her heart that was hanging in the air fell to the ground. She gave Chu Fei an admiring look, even a little admiration. Her daughter, she naturally knows best. When Ah Nuan lost her temper yesterday, even she was taken aback. In front of Ah Nuan, she didn't even dare to let out the air. I didn't expect An Wang to be so powerful. Not only comforted A Nuan, but even made A Nuan accept this matter.
On the other hand, Ning Lang was also worried all night. Now that Ning Nuan said this, he finally felt relieved.
As soon as he relaxed, he returned to his usual sloppy appearance, as if he had suddenly forgotten the anxiety of last night.
He just opened his mouth to say something, but Ning Nuan's eyes suddenly fell on him. When he opened his mouth, he still had the same soft tone as yesterday.
"Brother, I heard that you are practicing martial arts with your sister-in-law recently?"
"Yeah." Ning Lang didn't notice it, and said happily, "Ah Nuan, I'm not boasting, I'm so much better now than before, even Yang Zhen has praised me several times. I can beat several bandits now. Now, I've grown a lot more than before. A Nuan, if King An bullies you in the future, come and call me, and I'll beat him up for you, and he won't dare to fight back."
Chu Fei: "..."
Ning Nuan responded with a half-smile but not a smile: "That brother is already very powerful now?"
Ning Lang was stared at by her, and there seemed to be some admiration in his eyes when he looked at her, and he raised his chin arrogantly and said proudly, "That's natural!"
Next to Yang Zhen eating the orange, he opened his mouth and swallowed the remaining half of the orange, his face was a little horrible.
Ning Nuan still said in a low voice: "My brother has been practicing for so long, but I have never seen his greatness. Now it's just right, you and I are free, why don't you let me see the results of my brother's training for so long? ?"
How could Ning Lang refuse, he immediately responded.
Even with Jiang Yunlan's expression, she couldn't bear to look directly.
In the courtyard of the Ning Mansion, Ning Lang went to change into a light bunt, his eyes swept across the Nursing Home, his eyes were eager to try: "Who will come first?"
"They certainly wouldn't dare to hit my brother." Ning Nuan said, "Let the lord come."
Chu Fei walked out, still wearing a fancy dress, and he didn't even put on light clothes like Ning Lang.
As soon as Ning Lang saw him, his chin lifted higher. "Are you really coming?"
Chu Fei nodded.
Ning Lang was even more excited.
Ever since he returned to Beijing, he has been looking for an opportunity to beat An Wang, but he didn't think that after such a long time, he didn't even find an opportunity. Don't beat An Wang all over the floor looking for teeth!
Ning Lang moved his hands and feet and rushed up immediately.
When he rushed up, Yang Zhen had already turned her head away, and it didn't take long for her to hear the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground. Needless to say, Ning Lang must have been knocked to the ground.
In the past, it was just a few breaths.
Chu Fei clapped his hands and stood back, only Ning Lang lay on the ground with a dazed expression.
Ning Nuan was disappointed: "This is the result of my brother's training for a long time?"
Ning Lang: "..."
He struggled to sit up: "A Nuan, this seems a little wrong..."
"I see that my brother is full of nonsense. My brother has to follow his sister-in-law to become a bandit and a general. I see that the three-legged cat of my brother doesn't have to go to the battlefield. It's better to stay in the cottage and fight tigers."
It was the first time that Ning Nuan said such sharp words, and Ning Lang was so shocked that he couldn't lift his head. He sat on the ground slumped, and he couldn't accept it. He had been studying hard and practicing hard for so long, but he still couldn't pass the three moves under King An. These three tricks, I don't know if King An let him.
When everyone was gone, he still sat on the ground and couldn't get up.
Yang Zhen walked over helplessly and patted him on the head: "How long have you been studying, and you want to beat An Wang?"
"Is he very powerful?" Ning Lang asked. He had beaten King An several times before, but each time King An never fought back. Now that he thinks about it carefully, Ning Lang doesn't even know how powerful King An is.
"I look at him, it looks like he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has practiced martial arts for so many years, and it's only a few months before you can count on it. If you want to beat him, it's better to dream faster." Yang Zhen patted again soothingly. He patted him: "But if you study hard from today, you might be able to beat him in a few years."
Ning Lang was full of expectations for this goal. He was about to nod his head in response, and then asked cautiously, "Is that you, or is he?" He doesn't know how powerful An Wang is, but he has asked for advice on how powerful Yang Zhen is. of.
Yang Zhen patted his head again: "Almost."
Ning Lang fainted again.
After being hit by Chu Fei once, Ning Lang really cheered up. That's what Ning Nuan meant.
Even though he had already stood in King An's team, Ning Lang was not too serious. He was born with a lack of heart, and he didn't even know what would happen in the future. In fact, he was very at a loss for everything. When Ning Nuan came back yesterday, he heard that he was practicing martial arts with Yang Zhen, but he was not very diligent, so he thought of taking this opportunity to remind him.
Sure enough, as soon as he was provoked by An Wang, whom he hated, Ning Lang immediately became diligent. When he patted his butt and stood up and let Yang Zhen help him in training, he was only waiting for the battlefield to help Yang Zhen. Don't hold back Yang Zhen. Listening to Yang Zhen's retelling, he said that he took the initiative to mention that he had to practice for five hours a day, which was really harder than when he was studying before.
And after the palace was settled, Ning Nuan and Chu Fei returned to the palace.
Knowing that Chu Fei was going to do such a big thing, Ning Nuan pulled him again and reconfirmed the matter. This time, it was not only the whereabouts of many things in the palace's treasury, but also Chu Fei was preparing in private. How many, how many ladies need her to contact and befriend.
Ning Nuan also asked him, "My lord has given me everything. If there is a place where money is needed, what should I do?"
Chu Fei raised his head and said, "Take it from the account, do you still stop me?"
Ning Nuan asked again: "I looked at the accounts in the palace before, and it seems that there is no prince's expenditure in these areas in these accounts?"
Chu Fei was triumphant and pointed it out to her in person.
Chu Fei has a good face. Every time he goes out, he must decorate himself from the hair to the toes. Every time Ning Nuan sees him, he is not dressed in brocade clothes, even if it is the carriage he travels. Luxurious and flamboyant, even other princes in the capital can't compare, plus he has a lot of money and a wide range of hobbies. Because of this, he spends a lot of money every month to decorate the facade, which is a huge expenditure.
It was also Ning Nuan who had just married, and only saw the flow of water in the accounts. She knew that King An spent a lot of money in this area, so she didn't care too much. In addition, King An really looked like this, so she let him sneaked in. After a long time, when she even knew exactly what was in King An's wardrobe, she couldn't hide it.
Chu Fei said: "In order to settle this account, the housekeeper has spent a lot of time."
Ning Nuan: "…"
"Ah Nuan, look at this account, although I spent so much on the account, I actually didn't have it." Chu Fei said with a bit of grievance: "Others also say that I spend extravagantly, but how can I be like this? People, compared to before, have cut down on food and clothing a lot."
Ning Nuan: "…"
Ning Nuan looked at the priceless gem on his crown, and really couldn't see where he was saving money.
"In the future, the lord will not have to bother to hide it from me." Ning Nuan finished checking the accounts, and still had some concerns: "If the lord wants to do things, it is fine now, but it will cost a lot in the future. According to the lord's plan, this It will cost a lot of money in the future, according to the output of Wang Ye’s industries, it is fine now, but it may not be able to sustain it later.”
Chu Fei thought for a while and said, "Then I'll look for a few more opportunities."
He has advantages that others do not have, and these opportunities are not difficult for him.
"A Nuan, wait for me to think about it, and then organize some more, and then you can take a look."
Ning Nuan nodded. Then she said again: "Then, lord, when will we enter the palace?"
"What are you going to do in the palace?" Chu Fei frowned subconsciously. Since there were no outsiders, the disgust on his face was undisguised: "Entering the palace is not good, but will be disgusted by others."
"But in the eyes of others, the prince is also favored now. If we don't go to see the queen mother, others will accuse us." It was the prince who asked the queen mother for instructions in advance, so that they did not need to be greeted, but after so many days, if the queen mother has not been seen, it is their fault.
Chu Fei was reluctant, so he had to agree.
It was the first time that Ning Nuan stepped into the palace. She was held by Chu Fei's hand and did not dare to look around all the way until she was taken into the Queen Mother's bedroom by him, and she asked the Queen Mother to be safe.
"This is Princess An." The Queen Mother's tone was light: "Look up and let Aijia take a look."
Ning Nuan raised her head as she said.
She finally saw the queen mother, and she was reminded by Chu Fei earlier. Now when she sees the queen mother, she doesn't dare to reveal too many emotions, but she can't help but observe the queen mother a few more times. She had seen Jiang Yunlan's appearance when she saw Yang Zhen. Needless to say, she was overjoyed, and she was even more loving, but when the Queen Mother saw her, her face was full of joy.
It looks like a princess who has seen her beloved son.
Ning Nuan let her finish it, and quickly lowered her head.
"I heard that Concubine An's appearance was outstanding, and now I see it, and it's true." The queen smiled: "It's no wonder that when Prince An saw Concubine An, he ran over excitedly and said that he wanted to marry you as the concubine."
Ning Nuan was neither humble nor arrogant, and didn't let them see anything on the face.
Chu Fei stopped him: "The queen mother, the emperor's sister-in-law, and A Nuan's face is thin, so don't make fun of her."
"I just got married, and Prince An knew that he was going to protect the princess." The queen smiled and said, "On weekdays, I have never seen Prince An protect a person like this."
"That's natural, A Nuan is my princess, those people are not." Chu Fei said proudly: "I protect A Nuan, that's right and proper, what does other people have to do with me?"
"The prince and others are all your nephews, not others." The queen said.
Chu Fei was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face faded a little, but he still pretended that he didn't understand what he was doing, and said, "My royal nephews are older than me, where do they need me to protect them? The royal sister-in-law is also I underestimate the prince and the others."
The queen smiled and said nothing.
Ning Nuan could hear that the queen had something to tell King An, but she didn't know why, but she didn't mention it, perhaps because she was there. They did not leave soon. The queen mother and the queen wanted to drag them to stay for lunch. After a while, even the emperor, the prince and others came, and the crown prince followed behind and gathered in the queen mother's palace. , looking at the lively, like a family banquet.
The emperor also had something to look for Chu Fei, and soon found an excuse to call him away, and the prince and others also followed. In the blink of an eye, only a few female relatives remained in the palace.
As soon as King An left, the Queen Mother and Queen immediately turned their attention away from Ning Nuan. The two were talking to the Crown Princess, and they looked as affectionate as grandparents and grandchildren. Ning Nuan blinked and didn't feel embarrassed, but secretly took everyone's faces into his eyes, and he also had concerns in his heart.
By the time they had lunch in the palace and came out of the palace, it was already afternoon, and the sky was not too early.
As soon as he left the palace gate, Chu Fei's face immediately sank.
Inside the carriage, Ning Nuan asked him, "My lord, what happened?"
Chu Fei's face was not very good-looking: "It's a matter of the academy."
"Academy?"
"As you know, spring is coming soon." Chu Fei rubbed his forehead and said, "No matter whether it is Qingshan Academy or Bailu Academy, the students there are now facing me. There are two major academies in the capital, and some of them will Many people have passed the imperial examinations and will enter official careers in the future. So they are thinking about going to the academy."
"You're thinking about going to the academy?"
"Now in their eyes, I am in the position of Wuxin, but those students are very obedient to me. If any of them can use my hand to build a good relationship with those students, after those students enter the court, it is not them. Are you a chess piece?" Chu Fei said: "Zhu Hanshan is smart, he has to understand Yuan, and if he wants to come to Chunwei, he also has a good ranking. Many people say that he has the talent of the champion. Countless people came to him. But he is already Master Xue's prospective son-in-law, so he was spared this."
Compared with Zhu Hanshan, who doesn't know what his future will be like, it is natural that Xue Gongli, the minister of the Ministry of War, is more attractive.
"Can the emperor also help?" Ning Nuan asked; "Several princes want to win over the prince, but the emperor doesn't object?"
"He was so happy to see that my nephews had a fight, and the one who could win in the end was naturally the most powerful."
"Then what is the prince's plan?" Ning Nuan: "The prince keeps refusing, I am afraid it will make the emperor unhappy. If it arouses the emperor's suspicion, it will be bad. Now the battle between several princes is getting more and more fierce, since the prince has an advantage in his hand. If you don't give an answer to something that people are concerned about, I am afraid that several princes will also stare at the prince."
Chu Fei naturally knew about this kind of thing.
When he became friends with the two academies, he had already thought about this possibility. In Qingshan Academy and Bailu Academy, the most valued students are not only those students who will pass the exam in the future, but also many children of noble families in the capital. As the two most famous academies in the capital, almost all the young men in the capital are here. Behind these people, some people have already stood in line, but some people, like Xue Gongli, have always been neutral.
It's just that he doesn't want to accept what's already in his mouth and let people spit it out.
"A Nuan, don't say, this, what about you? How do you get along with the Queen Mother and the others?"
Ning Nuan said truthfully: "As the prince said, the queen mother and the others don't seem to like me either. When the prince was there, the queen mother and the queen were very enthusiastic towards me. After the prince left, they changed their attitudes."
"They don't even want to pretend that."
"The prince wanted to win over the prince, and the concubine also made a gesture of goodwill to me. Before leaving the palace, he also invited me to go back to the palace to accompany her. The prince didn't let go. I think he wanted me to persuade the prince."
"But Ah Nuan and I are of the same mind, how could they be deceived by them." Chu Fei was proud.
Ning Nuan smiled.
By the time they arrived at the palace, there were already several presenters in the palace. They were all sent by several princes. They all wanted to win over King An, so they all thought of giving gifts secretly, and they all used the same excuse. The New Year is almost here, come here to give New Year's gifts.
Chu Fei was used to seeing good things, so he just glanced at it lightly, and indifferently asked the butler to put these things in the storeroom, and ordered the butler to prepare the New Year's gift as in previous years, without favoring anyone.
There is another thing that deserves Chu Fei's attention.
According to the memory of his previous life, after the new year, after the spring season, there will be a situation in Qingzhou soon after the spring.
Therefore, while Yang Zhen and Ning Lang were both in the capital, he went to them several times, and told them about Qingzhou in detail. Only Ning Lang and him knew about the rebirth, and Ning Lang was confused in his last life. Even the big things that happened in Qingzhou are only a vague impression, I don't know how. Chu Fei excused that his own people had heard some news, and told Yang Zhen and Ning Lang to start preparations earlier when they returned.
Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is approaching now, and he ran diligently to the Ning Mansion, and it was not too conspicuous. Because he had to bring Ning Nuan every time, when outsiders mentioned it, they would say that Ning Nuan was homesick, while Prince An spoiled the princess and followed her in everything.
Let Ning Nuan get some good words for nothing.
As for the academy, it's almost New Year's Eve, and it's finally time for a holiday. Perhaps because of this reason, even the princes who were entangled with King An in the past relaxed a little and stopped entanglement. Chu Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, just waiting for the new year to roll up his sleeves to deal with it.
The day they got married was a few years ago. Because it didn't take long, the capital was covered with snow several times, and red lanterns were hung up in every household. Busy new year things. And Ning Nuan is also very busy, not only to prepare the New Year's gift for the family, but even the accounts in the palace will be liquidated by the end of the year. There are many affairs, although there are butlers and Xiangtao to assist, but Ning Nuan is the first to get started , also a little nervous.
In the hustle and bustle, it was finally the New Year.
