Ning Mingjie just mentioned it casually, and asked him to deliver it because of convenience. Since he doesn't want to, he can just send someone else. It's just that Yuxuan's mood seems a little strange today, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny.
After changing the subject and saying a few words, Ning Yuxuan asked him to stay for dinner, and Ning Mingjie agreed.
Wen Wan's side was still worried, her face was full of innocence, she looked extremely pitiful. Rubbing the handkerchief and whispering to Sandalwood: "What will happen when you enter the palace?"
Sandalwood closed the door, and after thinking for a while, she said, "This servant thinks that Master Hou may have some doubts about you, so he wants to take you into the palace to have a look. But there will be no major events in the palace tomorrow, except Princess Kangyuan's birthday. "
It is Princess Kangyuan again.
Wen Wan lowered her eyes, the look in her eyes was dim, and she said after a while: "I see."
Ning Mingjie had lunch in the Hou Mansion, and was taken by Ning Yuxuan to the Ministry of War for a walk. Along the way, he acted like a kind brother who cared about his brother's marriage and family relationship, and helped to persuade him: "Princess Kang Yuan She is the most beloved cousin of the Holy Majesty today, and since she married you, the Emperor attaches great importance to you. How could you ignore the princess’s birthday because of trivial matters? The princess must have been angry with you before going to the palace to celebrate her birthday.”
Hearing what he said, Ning Mingjie pursed his lips: "You want me to go into the palace to accompany her?"
"More than that, you should bring Princess Kang Yuan back to the mansion. The two should cultivate their relationship well." Ning Yuxuan said: "My wife should be taken good care of. There used to be such a person, I didn't just because of Didn't cherish it well, now it's too late to regret it?"
Ning Mingjie glanced at him: "You know that too?"
"Of course, that's why I'm here to advise you now." Ning Yuxuan chuckled, "Pity the person in front of you."
Ning Mingjie frowned slightly. He and Kang Yuan had been married for such a long time, and the two seemed to be on the same page. Except for the time when she sent someone away in Jingzhou and annoyed him, the two of them seemed to have little communication.
Because the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, he also understood the emperor's thoughts, nothing more than relying on him for safety, that's all. Now that the country is stable, he has no other ideas. Zhao Li gave him the opportunity to make contributions, so he will naturally repay his lifelong loyalty.
As for Kang Yuan, thinking about it now, he did owe a debt.
"Then, you can arrange the affairs of the Ministry of War, and I won't let Kang Yuan enter the palace tomorrow." Ning Mingjie said.
"The emperor has prepared a banquet in the palace, how can you let the princess not enter the palace." Ning Yuxuan glanced at him, shook his head and said: "After a few battles, everyone is stupid, you won't wait for the banquet to end Will you go pick her up in person and give the Princess a surprise?"
"Surprise..." Thinking about the gifts she bought at random, and wondering whether she would like them or not, Ning Mingjie sighed and said, "Forget it, don't you also go to the palace to visit the crown prince tomorrow? If the banquet is over, you can ask someone to announce it to you." Let me know from the right door."
"Okay." Ning Yuxuan nodded with a smile, glanced at the jade pendant on his waist, and turned his head away again.
The next afternoon, Ning Yuxuan entered the palace with Wen Wan. Dressed up as a servant, Wen Wan leaned against him and said, "Master Hou, I am really afraid of making mistakes."
"It's okay, you don't need to do anything more." Ning Yuxuan said with a smile: "When the time comes after watching Shizi, just go to Xuanyou Gate and call Mingjie."
Wen Wan was startled, and lowered her head in response.
Ning Yuxuan looked at her amusedly: "Do you know who Mingjie is?"
When others introduced her, they would only say that he was Master Biao, the great general, and they would never say Ning Mingjie's name.
Wen Wan was startled, her hands clenched slightly, she looked up at him in a daze and said: "I don't know."
Ning Yuxuan didn't blame her, and gently turned her ear back for her: "It's Young Master Biao, you met in the mansion yesterday. I'll show you the location of Xuanyou Gate later."
"...Okay." Wen Wan lowered her head and leaned against him, her face pale and she stopped talking.
Mo Yuhou was in a good mood. He entered the palace all the way, went to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay his respects, and went to the Queen's Palace to pay his respects.
Princess Kangyuan said that she was staying with the emperor and queen, but the queen was still hugging and teasing in the palace alone, but the emperor was not there, so she went out to inquire and said that she was meeting Princess Kangyuan in the Zichen Palace.
Take Haohao to the imperial garden for a walk for a while, Wen Wan even praised the cuteness of the little prince, hugged Ning Yuxuan tightly and did not let go, her little eyes were crying redly: "Daddy is here this time and has to go again, next time When is it coming?"
Ning Yuxuan's heart tightened slightly, he hugged him and sighed: "Daddy will come to pick him up soon."
"Really? You're a puppy who lied to you." He squinted his mouth, and was so wronged that he was about to cry. Although the empress is very nice and gentle, but he really wanted to go back to the Hou's mansion, and he hadn't seen his wife for a long time.
"Well, I won't lie to you." Ning Yuxuan rubbed his little head.
"Why did you bring this person here instead of your master?" After taking a good look at Wen Wan, she flinched into Ning Yuxuan's arms: "I miss my master."
The gentle smile was a bit stiff, and Ning Yuxuan whispered: "Next time Daddy comes to visit you, why don't you bring your wife?"
Nodding obediently: "Yeah." Then he put his little hand around Ning Yuxuan's neck, rubbing it vigorously.
It seemed that the hour was about the same, a little eunuch ran all the way over and whispered something in Ning Yuxuan's ear. Ning Yuxuan nodded and said to Wen Wan: "Go to Xuanyou Gate and tell Young Master Biao, he should also go to surprise the princess."
Nodding gently, she walked out stiffly. She has never been to the palace before, if she gets lost, it can't be her fault, right
"This way, please." The little eunuch who just came to report with a smile caught up with Wen Wan and led her way.
Wen Wan couldn't laugh anymore.
Ning Mingjie bought a new gift, wrapped it well and held it in his hand. After Yuxuan talked so much yesterday, he figured it out. Princess Kang Yuan is a nice woman, and there is nothing wrong with being nice to her. She has been too cold all the time, so it would be nice to give her a surprise today.
Wen Wan was led to a place not far from Xuanyou Gate by the eunuch, and she couldn't get lost even if she wanted to, so she could only go forward and salute: "Master Biao, Master Hou said that the time has come."
When Ning Mingjie saw it was her, he nodded: "It just happened that yesterday it was said that you can also go to see Kang Yuan, so it doesn't matter if I take you there, maybe you can think of something when you see her."
Wen Wan shook her head: "This is not good, so rash..."
"No problem." Ning Mingjie said: "Let's go, Zichen Palace is not far from here."
Wen Wan could only bite the bullet and follow.
In Zichen Palace, Zhao Li did prepare a banquet for Kang Yuan, but Peng Yue said that she was not feeling well and did not want to come, so he accompanied Kang Yuan alone.
Kang Yuan drank a lot of wine, his eyes became blurred, he looked at him bewilderedly and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that your marriage letter back then made me not happy at all?"
Zhao Li raised his eyebrows: "Did General Ning treat you well?"
Kang Yuan smiled wryly: "He looks very warm and treats people well, but his heart is not on you, so he is cold no matter what. I have never had sex with him since our wedding night."
Zhao Li was startled and frowned slightly.
Kang Yuan was probably drunk, and he waved his hand to make the palace people retreat, and when he got up, he threw himself into his arms and cried loudly: "Why did you marry me to someone else? Do you like the princess of Yuzhen Kingdom very much? Where is she? Better than me? Your Majesty, Yu'er has loved you for so many years, why did you give Yu'er such a home in the end?"
Zhao Li sat on the thick cushion, unable to move her legs, so she could only let her cry, and sighed: "I am sorry for you."
He promised that there will be no concubine in the Sixth Palace of Pengyue, so naturally he will do it. Although, one day in the future, this promise may be broken because of interests, but if there is one more day, let's try to have one more day.
Kang Yuan cried miserably and looked up at the man in front of him. For the person I have loved for so long, I am willing to win over Ning Mingjie and sacrifice my life's happiness for him, why is he still not moved
Lifting his head and hugging Zhao Li, Kang Yuan cried and kissed him.
Zhao Li frowned, pushed Kang Yuan away and scolded him in a low voice, but Kang Yuan was crying and asked: "Even on Yu'er's birthday, can't the emperor let Yu'er be consummated once? Just treat it, just treat it as a gift for Yu'er." Yu'er's last gift."
The air was hot and dry, Zhao Li looked at the crying face in front of him, sighed, and finally did not push away.
The eunuch guarding outside waved all the palace people back, leaving him alone to guard outside. There was silence all around, and the voices in the hall were not suppressed too much, and came out clearly.
"Yu'er loves you, Your Majesty, Yu'er loves you..."
Ning Mingjie stood outside Zichen Hall, the expression on his face turned cold a little bit, he was holding the box in his hand, his whole body was stiff.
The eunuch next to the emperor saw him and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, General Zhenyuan begs to see you!"
The voices in the hall disappeared in an instant, Zhao Li's clothes were not in a mess, but Kang Yuan's clothes were in a mess, and he hurriedly tidied them up.
"You don't need to report, Eunuch, I'll just wait here for the princess to come out." Ning Mingjie said lightly.
The eunuch was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "General, don't get me wrong, the princess is drinking too much, so she just shouted indiscriminately."
"En." Ning Mingjie lowered his eyes.
The hall door opened, and Kang Yuan stumbled out, looking at Ning Mingjie in great surprise: "How could the general..."
Turning his head again, he saw the gentleness behind him dressed as a servant.
How is this going? Why is Wen Wan with Ning Mingjie? Still here? Kang Yuan was shocked and angry, he didn't care about what he looked like at the moment, his clothes were disheveled, his head was disheveled, and there was a mark on his neck.
Ning Mingjie sneered, turned around and walked back. Throwing the box in his hand heavily, he threw it into the flowers not far away.
Wen Wan followed along with her eyebrows down, she was about to suffer, the princess should not think that the general was attracted by her.
"General!" Kang Yuan panicked, turned his head to look at Zichen Hall, and quickly caught up with Ning Mingjie.
