There are red gauze curtains, there are obviously people on the second floor, and the scenery is quite beautiful. In broad daylight, there were also people in pairs, playing behind the curtain.
There were quite a few people surnamed Nie in the court, and Ning Mingjie didn't think too much, and followed the people in front of him.
Walking around the street was boring, and Pengyue immediately yelled to go to the school grounds. The school field is usually a place for military training, not far from the outskirts of the city. Ji Man thought of what Ning Yuxuan said about the princess liking military generals, and he exclaimed in his heart, is Mo Yuhou an official of the Central Intelligence Agency? Damn you really know everything.
Ning Mingjie has an official position, so he can naturally take them there. But Ji Man walked around the school grounds with Pengyue for a while, and unexpectedly saw a person who was most unlikely to appear here.
A group of imperial guards were training, shouting loudly, playing with swords, guns and sticks in full force. The princess watched with gusto, Ji Man turned his head and saw a person sitting beside the training ground.
Or rather, a wooden wheelchair was parked.
The second prince quietly looked at the people who were training on the field, without any expression on his face, but there was a strong aura of envy around him, which made people feel pitiful.
Pengyue is not blind, so naturally he saw him after following. Looking at the python robe on the man, he was curious, and pulled Ji Man's sleeve and asked: "Is there a prince in your country who is disabled?"
Ji Man nodded: "That's the second prince, who doesn't come out very often, and always stays in the palace. His legs are said to be like this from birth."
Pengyue weighed the long whip in his hand, inexplicably wanted to go over and say a few words to him, but the man in the distance acted as if he didn't see them, turned his wheelchair and left straight away.
"Dignified prince, how can you show up on the school grounds if you have nothing to do? Since you showed up, why did you leave?" Pengyue frowned, and said very dissatisfied: "Men in Song Dynasty like to play hard to get?"
This princess really has her own complaint system. If you say you understand what they mean, it’s fine. Why do you have to understand so much
Ning Mingjie came over and gently reminded them that it was time for them to leave. The school grounds are not a zoo, so if you come in and have a look, you should leave.
As soon as Pengyue came out of the school gate, he was muttering: "If he wants to talk to me, he can just say it directly. What does it mean to leave without showing his face? Although I won't marry a lame man, it's good to make friends Well."
Ji Man laughed: "The princess mainly wants to make friends with the second prince, so just go to the prince's mansion and find him."
"Who wants to find him." Pengyue snorted twice, rolled his eyes and looked around for a while and said: "There is nowhere to go, and I am tired from walking, how about going to one of your houses to rest first?"
"Isn't the princess going back to the palace?" Er Rong asked.
"The imperial concubine said that I can live in your house." Pengyue looked at Er Rong and asked, "Where is your house?"
Ning Errong was bored, can I go to someone's house and not talk about it like a gift. Princess Pengyue is not bad, but her tone of voice is too arrogant.
"Sangyu's Marquis Moyu's mansion is bigger than my house." Er Rong pouted and said, "Princess, let's go there."
"Don't you welcome me?" Pingyue flattened his mouth: "We walked together for so long today, and you always squint at me from the corner of your eye."
Ji Man could tell that the princess had something to say. Although he was a little proud, he had no bad intentions, and there was a bit of grievance in this sentence.
But if you go back to the palace and say that, then Errong will be miserable, and it is no fun to neglect the distinguished guests.
"Errong is not in a good mood today." Ji Man said quickly: "Just go to Nie's Mansion, I just won't go back tonight, I will talk to you for a while."
"Do you want to sleep with me?" Princess Pengyue asked.
"There are enough rooms, the princess can sleep by herself." Er Rong said.
Pengyue lowered her eyes and hummed: "It's so far away from home, I haven't slept well. If you can, you can sleep with me, and I won't eavesdrop on any whispers."
Ji Man was amused by her and nodded. Ning Mingjie glanced at her and said, "Order someone to go back and inform Lord Hou."
"That's right, so that he doesn't worry." Er Rong looked at her enviously and said, "I heard that you and your cousin have been in a good relationship recently, Qing Yun and I are relieved."
Ji Man laughed twice, the relationship is good, she hasn't seen Ning Yuxuan's face for a few days, and almost forgot what he looks like.
When they went back to Nie's Mansion, Pengyue couldn't help but asked again: "Has the Second Prince been out of favour?"
Ning Mingjie said: "Forget it, his mother and concubine passed away early, and the emperor didn't pay much attention to it. A princess can't choose such a son-in-law."
"You say you don't choose if you don't choose?" Pengyue snorted lightly, and stopped to rub the long whip in his hand.
Ji Man's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Ning Mingjie.
Ning Mingjie had a faint smile on his face, and turned his eyes to look elsewhere.
The Nie Mansion knew that they were going to entertain the princess, and they were well prepared. When Errong brought Ji Man and the princess in, Ning Mingjie left first.
Walking through the Shanshui Gallery, Pengyue always had a look of surprise on his face: "Your house is too exquisite."
The small courtyard is naturally different from the splendor of the imperial palace, but it has more charm. Er Rong smiled and pointed to the pond under the gallery, "Lotus will bloom here in summer, and Qingyun planted them for me."
"Are you your husband?" Pengyue was a little envious.
"Yes." Mentioning Qingyun, Er Rong smiled slightly: "He treated me very well, he gave this lotus pond, and he also built the embroidery building over there for me."
"Such a man is the right one." Pengyue shook off all the maidservants, walked a little jerkily, and said lively and authentically: "My father, the king, asked me to marry a powerful and powerful man, but I No, I just want to marry someone who treats me well."
"That's a good idea." Ji Man nodded and said, "As long as it's not a man who is so poor that he only has vain dreams and can't even support himself, other men don't need to be rich, as long as they treat you well, they can marry."
Pengyue looked at her and smiled: "It's rare for you to think so. Does your husband treat you so well?"
Ji Man paused and shook his head.
Peng Yue made a pity expression, looked at Er Rong and said: "It can be seen that a good husband is hard to find now, you should cherish it."
Er Rong nodded and lowered his eyes slightly.
"Young lady."
As soon as he stepped into the embroidery building, a maid came up to salute. Er Rong nodded, and asked softly, "Where is the young master?"
The maid glanced at Ji Man and Peng Yue, and said in a low voice, "I haven't come back yet."
Ji Man looked at the sky, it was time to finish work and go home for dinner at this point, what did Nie Qingyun do
There was no surprise on Errong's face, he turned his head and smiled at them, "Alright, the three of us can sleep together tonight."
Ji Man frowned slightly: "Isn't brother coming back at night?"
"Well, he's busy recently." Er Rong walked upstairs without looking back.
Holding the moon, he looked at Errong and then at Jiman, and then went upstairs, not treating this place as someone else's home at all. Mrs. Chen brought a few concubine daughters over to ask Ann. Pengyue thought it was troublesome, and just met with her, before she could say a word, she said that she was sleepy and wanted to rest.
Mrs. Chen left unhappily, and even glanced at Er Rong when she left.
Er Rong lowered his eyes and said nothing.
It was getting late, and Nie Qingyun really didn't come back. Ji Man asked people to add a lot of stoves in the house, and the three of them were not too cold in their pajamas.
"What's the matter with you and brother?" Ji Man finally pulled Er Rong and asked straight to the point.
Pengyue pretended to sleep on the bed, covering her eyes with her little hands. Ji Man really wanted to remind her that she heard the sound from her ears, but Er Rong in front of her was obviously about to cry, and she didn't care about other things.
"It's nothing, the usual thing is that your brother is going to take a concubine." Errong said with a smile, but tears fell, and quickly wiped it with a handkerchief: "It's my narrow-mindedness, always thinking that he can live forever Just look at me alone. But I have nothing to do for a year, and my mother-in-law insisted on him taking a concubine, and he... didn't object."
Pengyue sat up "scrambling" and said with wide eyes, "I haven't had a child for a year, so should my husband take a concubine? My father and emperor are only my mother's queen, and I haven't married a concubine for so many years."
Talking about this with a princess I just met today, Ji Man was worried that she would resist, but after a look, this little girl has a strong sense of gossip. After all, it is a princess who wants to take root in the Song Dynasty, and Ji Man thinks it is naturally good to have a closer relationship.
"There are few people in Yuzhen country, and monogamy is the folk custom." Ji Man said softly, "It's not like Song Dynasty, where three wives and four concubines are common. There are many people and the land is big. After men pursue power, money and land, they will naturally pursue all kinds of things. All kinds of women."
Pengyue said unhappily: "Didn't you just say that Er Rong's husband is very kind to her today? Why do you want to take a concubine again?"
"In a man's mind, there is no conflict at all between being nice to a woman and having many women at the same time." Ji Man pouted and said, "I thought my brother would be an exception."
Er Rong's eyes were red, and he was silent for a while before laughing again: "I figured it out too, if you take a concubine, just take a concubine, I can't occupy him for the rest of my life. But... I told him not to fall in love with other people, but he said I was making trouble for no reason." .”
Ji Man rubbed her temples, she really didn't want to talk about who was more unreasonable, men and women, but it seemed that there was a problem in the marriage between Er Rong and Qing Yun.
It's only been a year, and Nie Qingyun was a little reluctant when he married Er Rong. Has it finally exploded now or what
The old lady has passed away, and the connection between the Ning and Nie families has suddenly become much weaker, and now there are only a few relationships between her and Er Rong Qingyun. If you still can't get along well, what will happen in the future
Maybe she did something wrong too. If Nie Qingyun really didn't like Er Rong, she shouldn't have helped make good things happen. Marriage without love is a dead end, and no matter how hard you struggle, you can't live long.
"Where does brother usually go?" Ji Man asked suddenly.
Er Rong pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "How do I know, he only said he was busy and didn't come back, and he didn't know where he would go."
"Then send someone to follow." Peng Yue enthusiastically proposed an idea.
