Going east along the way, Ning Yuxuan has already made arrangements for the affairs of the court, and he is not just going to play, but someone has already returned to the capital in secret, so he needs to go to meet them.
Just thinking that since Ji Man followed him, except for the southern tour, he hadn't spent a few days leisurely looking at the scenery, and he was really worried about leaving her alone in the capital, so Ning Yuxuan took her on the road together up.
Ji Man's stomach has been five months old, and it has stabilized a lot. The doctor also told her that the fetal position is very upright and it will be a good birth. In view of the good experience of giving birth last time, Ji Man decided to ignore the doctor's words and give birth as he should. In the sanitation conditions of ancient times, there were people who gave birth to a child and died. If you can be safe, you don’t ask for anything else.
Several of Ning Yuxuan's cronies were brought on a boat, except for Gui Bai, they were all officials from the six ministries who came alone. Every day, I look at Lord Hou and Jiman's fairy couple, lie on the deck at night to watch the stars, and sit on the boat with a fishing rod to fish on a whim during the day.
"Why can't I catch it?" Ning Yuxuan pulled up the fishing rod for the nth time, looked at the empty hook, was puzzled, and reloaded the bait.
"Because the boat is moving forward, it is much faster than the fish, so naturally it cannot be caught." Sitting next to him, Ji Man said calmly.
Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows: "Then why do we still fish?"
Ji Man turned his head and smiled at him: "I want to see if it will be boring to do boring things with Master Hou."
All the officials peeping from behind were a little speechless, really bored.
Mo Yuhou laughed, and continued to throw the bait back into the river, and sat idly with her, watching the sunset gradually sinking in the distance, without saying a word.
Ji Man rested her head on his shoulder, squinting her eyes at the glow of the sky. It turns out that as long as the person you like is around, you will never be bored. She used to laugh at the foolishness of people in love, but it turned out that whoever came here would become a fool.
The boat docked in a bustling town, and Ji Man took Ning Yuxuan to the market. There were many people in the market, so Ning Yuxuan simply reached out to hold her hand. The two walked side by side in the crowd, walking slowly and calmly. Everyone around them hurried back and forth, only these two seemed to have come out for a walk after dinner. The people couldn't help but stop and look at them enviously.
Talented and beautiful, they are really a good match.
The cronies followed behind, and Gui Bai felt that it was necessary to go back at night to remind Lord Hou that it was nothing to let so many people go out with them, and it was normal not to bring family members with them, but it was a bit strange to be so affectionate with his wife in front of a single person. inappropriate!
It made him want to get married too, Gui Bai desolately picked up the mirror on the side stall and looked at himself, he was already twenty and two, it was time to get married, otherwise Lord Hou would have a second child soon , he is still alone, alas...
Ji Man wanted everything she saw, but she restrained herself. She only carried thirty taels on her body, so she only bought twenty taels of gadgets, and took them back to the boat to play slowly. Although in ancient times it was normal for women to use men's money, but since I met Ning Yuxuan with modern requirements, I must always be strong and independent as a modern woman.
However, Ning Yuxuan was a little unhappy, with a dark face all the way. When he was packing up on the boat, he sat in front of her and took out a bronze peacock hairpin: "Didn't you like this very much just now? Why don't you let it go?" I bought it for you?"
He also saw that she only brought thirty taels, and the hairpin cost fifteen taels, so he touched it twice, pretending not to like it, and then put it back. He was right there at the time, so it was completely treated as if he didn't exist, right
It sucks to feel unwanted.
Ji Man laughed twice, took the hairpin and put it on his head: "Does it look good?"
Ning Yuxuan snorted and stopped talking, and after being sullen for a while, he said unhappily: "It looks good."
Straightening his face, Ji Man kissed him, and said with a smile, "Just look good. I'm very happy that you noticed something I like. Thank you, Lord Hou."
Ning Yuxuan calmed down a little, but still hummed twice, stretched out his hand to touch the bronze peacock, pursed his lips and said, "I hope I can be your reliance, so you don't have to be so tired all the time."
Jiman bowed his head in reflection. I do have shortcomings. Every man has a hero complex. A woman who is too independent can easily lose a man. It is better to make this man feel that he needs him.
Let's change slowly, he is getting better and better, and she is also getting better and better.
Gui Bai was about to come in and tell Master Hou to take care of other adults' emotions, when he stepped in, he saw his master Hou kissing his wife on the forehead.
Immediately, he was so scared that he withdrew his feet, thought for a while, took a look at himself in the mirror bought from the market, and walked away with a sigh.
The boat traveled thousands of miles and docked at the riverside. Someone in black clothes and hat got on the boat and entered the cabin.
"Mingjie." Ning Yuxuan smiled and said, "I finally saw it."
Ning Mingjie took off his hat, and his face looked much softer: "I never thought that Zhao Zhe would let you out of Beijing."
"He has to let it go." Ning Yuxuan said with a smile: "I just hope that I will not be here, and I can take back the power. Unfortunately, there is no way to recover. How about Yuzhen?"
"I asked you to come this time because I don't trust anyone. You have to send someone back to the capital. By the way, read the letter from the king of Yuzhen Kingdom."
Ning Yuxuan was shocked, but his expression remained calm: "Why would the king write a letter?"
"Probably because in the past six months, I kidnapped the princess of Yuzhen Kingdom." Ning Mingjie said with a straight face: "And I can't send it back."
Ning Yuxuan didn't understand what it meant that he couldn't send it back, but when he mentioned the princess of Yuzhen Kingdom, he thought of Pengyue. Yuzhen Kingdom should hate Song Dynasty, because Pengyue is their cherished princess, and they even borrowed soldiers to help Zhao Li win the throne.
In the battle between Yuzhen Kingdom and Song Dynasty, it is impossible for Song Dynasty to lose, after all, there are many adults in the land. The defeat report at the frontier is nothing but falsehood. In Ning Mingjie's hands, he already holds the military power of 180,000 troops.
That was his last weapon to hold Zhao Zhe off.
Ning Mingjie had already put the letter on the table, Ning Yuxuan carefully opened it and read it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Yuzhen Kingdom is the capital of love, right? In-laws are a more important relationship than blood relatives. Princess Yuzhen has a crush on Ning Mingjie, and King Yuzhen is willing to let Ning Mingjie make some concessions, borrow troops, borrow land, or even cut off the city, as long as Ning Mingjie is willing to marry Pingxin go back.
Are you kidding me, if Ning Mingjie marries Ping Xin at this pass, what excuse would he use to make the emperor hand over all the military power in his hands
Ning Mingjie was indeed here to fight, but he just used some means to kidnap the princess to force Yuzhen to surrender. Yuzhen retreated hundreds of miles, but the princess couldn't send her back. If you kill it, something will happen, but if you keep it... it's also a disaster.
Holding the heart is better than holding the moon, a machete with three rings smashed on the table, and threatened that Ning Mingjie would not marry.
Ning Mingjie, who has experienced several unhappy marriages, has already looked down on it, but war is the most important thing, and it is best if Yuzhen Kingdom is willing to cooperate. At worst, send the princess back to the capital first, and then let's sit down and discuss cooperation
Okay, so this cooperation has to be discussed carefully, first find someone to send the princess back. If something happens if the delivery is not good, then Yuzhen will settle the account with Pengyue's account for all the efforts of the country. If it is delivered well, he will be what you say the battle situation in the pass over there is.
After reading the letter, Ning Yuxuan stroked his chin and looked at Ning Mingjie for a long time before saying, "My cousin's face is really valuable."
Ning Mingjie's face turned dark, and Ning Yuxuan coughed lightly and said, "Then hand it over to me. Also, these are some clean volumes of imperial edicts with jade seals on them. You put them away."
Both of them understood what to do next, and they whispered about the confidential matter, Ning Mingjie put on his hat again and left.
"That's right." Before leaving, Ning Mingjie turned his head, looked at Mo Yuhou and said, "I heard that Sang Yu is pregnant again, congratulations."
Ning Yuxuan nodded with a smile, and said: "She is resting in the side room next to her, do you want to say hello?"
Ning Mingjie thought for a long time, then turned his back with a chuckle: "Forget it, I don't need it."
Might as well not see.
The boat turned around and was about to return to Beijing. This trip came out at the right time as Mo Yuhou planned. During the month of his absence, Zhao Zhe had visited the harem once, and there happened to be four concubines among them, all of whom were sent by him.
When nothingness took it away, he left four bottles of treasures for him, which were four flavors of spices, mixed together, it was chronic poison. Even imperial doctors would not be able to find out, but it is a rare treasure in the world.
It's not wasted.
He can still control the important affairs of the court when he goes back, and be a minister of the country in a low-key manner, waiting for the emperor to weaken day by day, and he will control the overall situation day by day. Looking at the fourth prince who had been neglected in the corner of the harem, he sat on the dragon chair and played with a slingshot.
In other words, he would not ascend to the throne according to his family precepts, but he could unseat the last emperor who had a grudge against him.
When Ji Man woke up, she saw an angry and happy girl sitting beside the bed. Seeing her eyes open, he kept staring at her curiously.
"My name is Pengxin, what's your name?"
"My...name is Ji Man." Ji Man was a little sleepy, seeing such a familiar yet unfamiliar person, he really didn't know what was going on.
Mo Yuhou came in with soup, glanced at Ping Xin, for some reason Ping Xin was a little afraid of him, and consciously stepped aside.
"We came here just to pick her up." Ning Yuxuan sat tenderly by the bed and fed Ji Man the soup, "She is the princess of Yuzhen Kingdom."
Ji Man choked on a mouthful of soup, and couldn't help but look at him again.
No wonder it is familiar, it looks somewhat similar to Pengyue, but it is more aggressive than Pengyue.
Wait, take Princess Yuzhen back? Ji Man opened his eyes wide and looked at Ning Yuxuan: "The battle with Yuzhen is over, isn't it?"
"Fight." Ning Yuxuan said seriously: "Just fight for another month."
