Sandalwood incense curls up in Rongxitang.
This incident was quite oolong, but Dingguo Gong Xie Heng had a stern face, and he still believed that he had a heart attack, because he had lived for twenty-eight years, and his heartbeat had never been so abnormal, it must be a heart attack precursor.
The little girl is still young and doesn't understand. Once she suffers from a heart disease, it is difficult to heal.
Duke Dingguo frowned, the aura around him condensed again, and the evil spirit in his body unconsciously released a bit, and the forceful aura struck, making everyone present feel uncomfortable.
Mrs. Xie frowned slightly uncomfortable.
"You can't hide your illness from the doctor. I'll find another imperial doctor to diagnose it tomorrow." Dingguo Gong Xie Heng sensed something was wrong, and immediately restrained the evil spirit on his body. careful.
Mrs. Xie stared at her son with a startled expression. She never thought that this son was more rotten than rotten wood. To say he was rotten wood was to praise him.
Fortunately, girl Ningbao is smart and clever.
If my son continues to make trouble, I'm afraid everyone will know about it and let outsiders see it as a joke.
"Ahem, Ah Heng, in fact, you are really not sick. You have to trust Imperial Physician Chen. He has superb medical skills and is best at treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases." Mrs. Xie said helplessly.
Jiang Ningbao, who was laughing happily at the side, stopped laughing immediately when he heard that Ding Guogong wanted to find another imperial doctor, secretly said that he was not good, and quickly corrected his attitude, and said solemnly: "Master Guo, the old lady is right, actually We are not sick, before explaining, I would like to ask the Duke, when did you have an abnormal heartbeat?"
Speaking of the latter, Jiang Ningbao's extremely beautiful eyes were full of anticipation. Although she had a faint guess in her heart, she would be happier if Duke Ding said it himself.
Unaware that Jiang Ningbao had dug a hole, Duke Ding Xie Heng's eyes fell on the little girl's delicate and ruddy face, his brows were furrowed, he looked at her expressionlessly, and remained silent.
"Is it about me?"
Jiang Ningbao raised her fair and delicate face, with a sly smile on her lips.
Duke Ding nodded slightly, with a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, he said softly: "Yes." It is true that every time his heartbeat is abnormal, it is related to the little girl.
There are oddities.
Mrs. Xie was drinking tea and watching the show, so she knew that Ningbao girl had a way. Huang Momo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was Miss Jiang Si. The Duke grew up without a maidservant by his side. They were all guarded by strong young servants.
"In fact, every time my heartbeat is abnormal, it is also related to the Duke." Jiang Ningbao said in a soft voice with the corners of her lips curled up, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes exuded a pleasant atmosphere.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked at her intently, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly thumped, and his heart seemed to be filled with something, soaring.
Heart disease came again.
"Grandpa, do you know what it means to be in love with each other, that is, the heart will beat for each other." Jiang Ningbao smiled, with a narrow explanation, and deliberately raised her slender and beautiful hand to her heart, a faint fragrance The wind blew by, Jiang Ningbao strolled up to Ding Guogong, and said softly.
"It's like when I get close to you now, my heart thumps, thumps, and beats wildly, a little anxiously."
The fragrance from the woman's body floated into the tip of her nose, Duke Ding Xie Heng looked down at the little girl in front of her, her heart seemed to be beating faster, as if it would pop out of her heart if she didn't pay attention.
The little girl is right.
His brows gathered together again, the lines of his face were a little cold and hard, and he uttered a sentence expressionlessly: "So the love between two people is equal to an abnormal heartbeat."
Jiang Ningbao's smile froze and choked, but her fighting spirit increased. They are all people who have never talked about relationships. Why is she so excellent in theory and experience, but Ding Guogong is like a novice in relationships.
It is all thanks to the modern nine-year compulsory education.
A touch of pride emerged in Jiang Ningbao's heart, and he explained in a gentle voice the deep meaning of the love between two people and the heartbeat just for you, but he didn't notice that the eyes of Duke Ding's evil spirit gradually became deeper and deeper, with a faint glimmer of light Pass.
"My lord, so you are really not sick, so you don't need to go to the imperial doctor for diagnosis." After Jiang Ningbao satisfactorily popularized the science, he concluded.
Duke Ding took a deep look at the little girl.
"Um."
But he secretly thought in his heart, the little girl knows a lot, so he reacted like this because he likes the little girl. A faint joy appeared in Xie Heng's heart. Decided to ask Xie Qi and the others at that time.
Listening to Ningbao girl's serious explanation and fooling her son, Mrs. Xie was not displeased, but couldn't help laughing. She took a sip from the teacup and swallowed the smile in her mouth. Mother Huang was also smiling.
"Aheng, take Ningbao girl out for a walk." Seeing that the sun was shining outside, Mrs. Xie hurriedly created a chance for her son to get along.
So the cold and innocent Dingguo Gong Xie Heng led the little girl to his yard.
The two maidservants following behind, Chunxi and Chunle, looked at each other in dismay, and heard from Housekeeper Zhao that this is the courtyard where Duke Dingguo lives, so the girl came directly into the house before she got married.
"Isn't that good?" Chun Le said in a low voice with a hint of worry on her lovable smile.
Chunxi smiled helplessly, and replied in a low voice: "The Holy Majesty bestowed a marriage, the wedding date has been set, and the girl knows it well." Chunle only came to the girl yesterday, so she doesn't know her well.
Since Butler Zhao came to withdraw from the marriage, the girl changed from her usual docile and pleasant personality, and she did a lot of outrageous things.
Now the capital is full of rumors about the girl and Duke Ding.
It's just a matter of entering the house. With the character of the Duke, he would never do anything out of character, but it's not necessarily the case for a girl who is getting more and more courageous. It is the Duke who Chunle should worry about.
"My lord, is this the yard you live in?" Jiang Ningbao observed the yard curiously. The yard occupies a large area. The flowers, plants and trees have been carefully pruned by the gardener at first glance. It is neat and beautiful. There is a large training ground, which is very suitable for Ding Guogong.
Duke Ding said in a low voice, "Yes." Then he habitually walked to the small training ground in the courtyard.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes lit up, and she followed up with the corner of her skirt. Her soft face was full of eagerness to try. She hadn't touched it for a long time, and she felt a lot rusty. This time, the red whip was placed on the carriage and she didn't bring it. She can try herself skill.
"My lord, how about we have a discussion?"
The black-clothed personal guards in the yard all cast their gazes at Jiang Ningbao, their eyes full of astonishment, that a slender and weak woman like Miss Jiang Si wanted to compete with the Duke.
Duke Ding took a look at her slender and weak body, especially the waist that he held tightly, just a light touch could hurt her slender waist, he looked away unnaturally, and protruded six words coldly.
"You can't, you'll get hurt."
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyebrows, and a bright smile curled up on the corner of her mouth: "Is it okay, the Duke will know if you try it?" After saying that, her figure moved, and her right hand suddenly turned into a palm knife and attacked Duke Ding. The moves are fierce and vigorous.
Ding Guogong's eyes showed a wave of fluctuation and astonishment, he didn't expect the little girl to be so powerful.
This knife is not a show at first glance.
Dingguogong's tall and straight body stood still, his strike was as fast as lightning, and he reached out and grabbed the little girl's arm in an instant. Jiang Ningbao was not a fuel-efficient lamp. When his body turned around, his slender hand sank and grabbed Dinggonggong's arm. The action is done in one go.
In an instant, the two had exchanged several moves.
The surrounding black-clothed personal guards opened their eyes wide, looking at the two intertwined black and light blue figures on the training ground in disbelief.
Fourth Miss Jiang actually knows martial arts.
Chunxi covered her face, the girl revealed her cruel nature so quickly, Chunle was extremely shocked, her lovable smile was in a daze.
"The girl knows martial arts?"
"That's right, the girl's whip is also very good. Mr. Zhang, a big man, was thrown away by the girl's whip." It was all exposed, and Chun Xi didn't need to hide it.
Fortunately, the girl is going to marry the Duke of the State, and the marriage is bestowed by the Holy Majesty, so she doesn't have to worry about being divorced again.
Chun Xi secretly rejoiced in her heart.
The black-clothed guards with sharp ears twitched their mouths when they heard the conversation between Chunxi and Chunle. It turned out that Miss Jiang Si only looked weak and weak on the outside, but she was so cruel on the inside.
He also sent a big man flying with a whip.
Jiang Ningbao fought heartily on the martial arts field. Duke Ding is really a good opponent, but unfortunately the opponent didn't try his best. It seems that there is a big gap between her and Duke Ding. It is the Duke who is letting her go.
Still, it's a good opportunity.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes fluttered, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, she cried "Ah", and Miaoman's delicate body fell to the ground...
Dingguo Gong's heart trembled suddenly, and he immediately withdrew his strength, flew over quickly, and stretched out his big hand to catch her, but Jiang Ningbao took the opportunity to pull her, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.
In the posture of female over male.
The guards in black and Chunxi Chunle were all dumbfounded.
Jiang Ningbao, who was pressing on the hard body of Duke Dingguo Xie Heng, had a slightly messy bun, with a few strands of hair scattered, panting slightly, dripping with sweat, and a thin layer of blush on her fair cheeks, beautiful and charming , it is hard to take your eyes off.
The little girl was delicate and soft, with her fragrant body pressed against him, and the mind of this tough and handsome man, Ding Guogong Xie Heng, went blank for an instant, and a strange numbness spread all over his body, and his whole body froze. Living.
Neither is it moving, nor is it not moving.
The ears were quietly stained with a blush.
The two were silent for a moment.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes were as bright as the stars, looking at the handsome and resolute face of the prince below him, he smiled coquettishly, and his clear and melodious voice showed a hint of complacency.
"My lord, I won."
What catches my eyes is the proud and charming appearance of the little girl, with a bright smile, so bright that people can't close their eyes, a faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose, Ding Guogong's breath is short, his heart beats like a drum, and his eyes are unconsciously stained A layer of dark color.
"Well, you won."
Duke Ding's voice was as cold and deep as ever, but this time, it was a little more hoarse than before.
The black-clothed personal guards were so startled by this sudden change that their eyeballs almost dropped. They didn't expect that the mighty and invincible Dingguo Guild would be crushed by Miss Jiang Si.
With their eyesight, they had already seen that the Duke was giving way to Fourth Miss Jiang, and they could see clearly that Miss Jiang was cheating, but the Duke's reaction left them dumbfounded.
Chunxi and Chunle: "..."
Especially Chun Xi, who really looked like that.
Although there were only two maidservants in the yard, the guard in black and Chunxi Chunle, Jiang Ningbao was embarrassed to press on Duke Ding again, stood up blushing, took out a plain handkerchief from his cuff and wiped the pimples on his face. Sweating slightly, he smiled sweetly at Duke Ding who was on the ground: "Master Ding, please give me your advice in the future."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ningbao stood aside and bowed her head to straighten her messy clothes. Thinking of her bold action just now, Jiang Ningbao's heart beat violently and her cheeks burned badly.
Chunle wanted to go there, but Chunxi grabbed her sleeves, Chunle was taken aback, and looked at Chunxi in bewilderment.
"Chunle, in the future, when the girl and the Duke are together, let's not get in the way, and just pretend we didn't see it." Chunxi looked at Chunle helplessly, not to mention that the girl was standing beside the girl who was full of evil spirits, and said The girl definitely doesn't want them to go there at this time.
Chunle: "..."
Not far away, Ding Guogong stood up from the ground expressionlessly, and patted the dust on the black brocade robe. He looked calm as usual. If you look carefully, you will find that Ding Guogong's movements are a little stiff. His eyes fell on the beautiful and fair side face of the little girl, and there seemed to be something extra in his eyes.
"it is good."
Jiang Ningbao was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Grandpa Guo was replying to her, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up, she took a deep breath, and the heat on her cheeks faded a bit.
At this time, Steward Zhao came to the main courtyard, holding two exquisite postcards in his hands, and bowed his hands to the two of them from afar.
"I have met the Duke, Miss Jiang Si."
"Is there something wrong?" Duke Ding Xie Heng said coldly.
Steward Zhao replied respectfully: "If you return to the father-in-law, two days later, Princess Rui will hold a flower viewing banquet. I just sent someone to send a post, and when I learned that Miss Jiang Si is also at the house, I sent the post to the subordinate. Hand it over to Miss Jiang Si."
After finishing speaking, he strode forward, resisting the evil spirit leaking from the Duke of the country, and respectfully presented two exquisite invitation cards.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng stretched out his big hand with strong bones, and took the invitation card in his hand.
"And my post?"
Jiang Ningbao hadn't received an invitation to a banquet for three years, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while. She moved to Duke Ding's side, and a look of surprise flashed across her fair and ruddy face. Princess Rui actually sent an invitation post to her.
"Well, yours." Duke Ding Xie Heng handed one of the invitation cards to her.
Jiang Ningbao opened it curiously. It was really her name on it. She couldn't help showing a smile. In the capital, who knows that Princess Rui is the most keen on holding various banquets.
Every time Princess Rui held a banquet, the invitations were extremely sought-after.
In the final analysis, there were so many descendants of noble families, officials and eunuchs, and young talents who participated in Princess Rui's banquet, that many boudoir daughters were proud to receive the banquet invitation from Princess Rui.
With the status of Uncle Changning's residence, even when his parents were still there, he never received an invitation from Princess Rui.
"Master, can I go?" Jiang Ningbao asked with a smile as she raised the invitation card in her hand.
In fact, she is not interested in the so-called banquet, but Jiang Ningbao is quite interested in the flower viewing banquet held by Princess Rui. A few days ago, Princess Rui also held a peach blossom banquet.
This peach blossom feast is a turning point in Jiang Ningbao's fate.
The male protagonist Xie Jingyi rescued the female protagonist Yang Shuqing, which caused a series of turmoil.
In the book, there are always various accidents in Princess Rui's flower viewing feast.
There are good ones and bad ones.
But Princess Rui didn't care at all, she was just keen on holding banquets and couldn't control other people's behavior, and those who attended the banquet knew this.
"If you want to go, go, if you don't go, refuse."
Except for palace banquets, Dingguo Gong Xie Heng, who had never participated in any kind of banquet, glanced at the little girl who seemed to be moving on purpose, her cold voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.
Sure enough, it was the answer of the Duke.
Domineering.
Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly: "Then I'll go and have a look. It's the first time I received a post about Princess Rui's flower viewing party, so I have to go anyway."
"Um."
Grandpa Xie Heng squeezed the invitation in his hand.
Every time he received a post about Princess Rui's banquet, Duke Ding would throw it in the corner and never attended it. This time, Duke Ding hesitated for a while, whether he wanted to accompany the little girl.
But when he thought of the little girl's skills, and there were many delicate and expensive boudoir daughters at the banquet, Duke Ding Xie Heng decided to throw away this invitation.
Steward Zhao at the side was about to step back after delivering the post, and glanced at the Duke's brocade robe, hey, he didn't see it dazzled, why did he seem to find that the Duke's brocade robe was dirty.
Wait, Butler Zhao's eyes widened. Miss Jiang Si's face was flushed, her bun seemed a little loose, a few strands of hair were scattered, and the light blue dress was also stained with some dust.
What the hell happened
Butler Zhao glanced at the black-clothed guards around him, asking questions in his eyes. All the black-clothed guards turned their faces away. Butler Zhao was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
"My lord, why is your robe dirty?"
Duke Dingguo Xie Heng cast his eyes on the little girl next to him, and fell silent. Jiang Ningbao showed him a bright smile, brushed the loose hair around his ears, looked back at Butler Zhao, and smiled softly back. road.
"Steward Zhao, I just had a discussion with the Duke."
Butler Zhao: "..."
Fourth Miss Jiang was so soft and weak that she dared to compete with the Duke, but it was a pity that she didn't see the scene of the competition. Steward Zhao was curious and regretful at the same time.
"Miss Jiang Si is really amazing." Steward Zhao praised sincerely, and after a few words with Jiang Ningbao, he handed over to the Duke and left. As the chief housekeeper of the mansion, there are too many things to be busy.
Near noon, Jiang Ningbao was left in the mansion for lunch again by the enthusiastic Mrs. Xie before returning. When returning, there were a few more black-clothed guards.
These black-clothed personal guards came to get the medicinal wine.
After half an hour's journey, Jiang Ningbao returned to Changning Bo's Mansion, and personally led people to take out five altars of medicinal wine from the wine cellar and handed them to the black-clothed guards. After they left, Jiang Ningbao returned to the house.
Chunle brought tea with a pleasing smile on her face.
Chunxi on the side couldn't help but said: "Girl, the peach blossom banquet turmoil a few days ago hasn't passed yet. Why did Princess Rui hold a flower viewing banquet again? It used to take at least a month or two to hold it, but this time it didn't come. Half a month."
Jiang Ningbao smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "It's well known that Princess Rui likes to hold banquets, so there's nothing strange about it."
"Girl, are you really going to Princess Rui's flower viewing feast?" Chunxi asked with a troubled expression.
Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes."
"Didn't my aunt say she didn't want to go and then she refused? This servant still remembers the last time the young prince asked the girl to be his concubine in the 108th room." Chunxi said indignantly.
"Chunxi, don't mention the past again." Jiang Ningbao laughed dumbly, but Chunxi didn't say anything, she really forgot that handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.
I don't know if this young prince who likes beauties still likes the heroine Yang Shuqing.
At this time, a woman's voice sounded outside the door.
"Girl, the old lady invites you to the Shoujin Hall."
The corners of Jiang Ningbao's eyes were slightly raised, and she glanced at the exquisite invitation post on the low table, then at the long dress with a little dirt, got up and went to the inner room to change into a clean and elegant floral dress, and then put on Chunxi and Chunxi Le went to the Shoujin Hall together with a few servant girls.
On the way, I met a lot of servants from Changning Bo's mansion. After three years, I saw Miss Jiang Si leading a group of maidservants to the Shoujin Hall again.
Who would have thought that Miss Jiang Si would have such a great fortune.
In the Shoujin Hall, Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting upright in the high hall, saw her fourth granddaughter stepping into the hall. Although she felt uncomfortable, she still showed a kind and loving smile on her face. She greeted Jiang Ningbao to sit at the bottom of her head, and called her confidant maid Red apricots for tea.
Mrs. Jiang's attitude was too enthusiastic, and Jiang Ningbao's delicate and soft face showed a flattered look just right, but her heart was greatly raised.
"Si girl, I heard that you have received an invitation to Princess Rui's flower feast?"
Hearing the words, Jiang Ningbao had a guess in his heart, nodded and admitted with a smile: "It is true."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed with joy, and she said kindly: "In this case, after two days, you can take Wu girl and your second cousin together."
Mrs. Jiang felt quite regretful, the fifth girl's marriage was scheduled early.
Concubine Rui's flower viewing banquet, there are many noble daughters and young talents in the world, and even the princes and princes will appear. On high branches.
As for the marriage, isn't it possible to withdraw the marriage
Although the second grandson said that his status was a bit low, who could say anything about feelings? The second grandson was handsome, and maybe a noble girl would fall in love with him.
Mrs. Jiang was thinking about her wishes in her heart.
With such a small request, Jiang Ningbao nodded and agreed.
Two days later, before departure, there was one more person who went to the Ruiwang Mansion to participate in the flower viewing banquet—Zhang Zhan who was thrown away by her whip. This time when Zhang Zhan saw her, he was still polite and smiling. But with a touch of alienation and politeness.
Jiang Ningbao: "..."
It was the first time to attend the flower appreciation banquet of Princess Rui. Jiang Ningbao wore a long dress with silver-red dark flowers and plum patterns, and a gold hairpin was inserted obliquely on her head. Huge and round night pearl.
Ye Mingzhu is a rare treasure in the world. I heard that this golden hairpin was one of the betrothal gifts from Duke Dingguo.
Half an hour later, the two carriages finally arrived at the street where Prince Rui's Mansion was located. Both sides of the street were already parked with carriages of different sizes.
These carriages all have the marks of their respective families, whether gorgeous, low-key, or simple... The stewards of Prince Rui's Mansion are busy welcoming the guests.
When Jiang Ningbao's carriage with the logo of Changningbo Mansion arrived, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Coincidentally, the carriage of the young lady of Anyuan Hou Mansion also happened to be oncoming.
The carriage of the Fourth Miss Jiang of the Changningbo Mansion and the carriage of the eldest daughter of the Anyuan Hou Mansion collided head-on, and finally stopped at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion at the same time.
One is the future Mrs. Dingguo, Xie Shizi's former fiancée, and the other is Xie Shizi's current fiancée.
Thinking of the former relationship between these two people, many people in the surrounding carriage were excited, and they poked their heads out to watch the show.
Who will get off the carriage first and enter Prince Rui's Mansion first
