At sunset, it's time to have dinner.
After Nuan Nuan and others left the imperial study, they walked out of the palace together.
After leaving the imperial study room, the dusk was like water, and a cold wind blew by. Even though the chrysanthemums in the yard were vying for beauty, it made people feel inexplicably desolate.
"The weather is getting colder." Nuan Nuan murmured while looking at the sycamore trees rustling in the wind.
Nalan Jinnian took the warm hand and felt that her hand was a little cold, so he put the cloak on her arm on her body.
Nuan Nuan looked at him: "I'm not cold!"
"Put it on, it will get colder and colder as the sun goes down."
He had asked Eunuch Lin to prepare this cloak in advance because he was worried that the warmth would make him cold.
Nuan Nuan gathered his cloak and thought of something. He said to the Seventh Prince, Prince An and Prince Ning: "Seventh Prince, the two crown princes thank you for delivering the list in time."
The Seventh Prince waved his hand: "Why are Aunt Seventeen so polite? We are happy to be able to help Aunt Seventeen and General Wang!"
Prince An: "This is what it should be. If my father hadn't forgotten where the list was hidden, General Wang wouldn't have suffered so much injustice."
Wang Xiao waved his hand: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. With the Emperor's trust and your help, the general will not suffer any grievances at all!"
Nalan Jinnian expressed his doubts: "How did you find that bracelet?"
Nuan Nuan also thought that the bracelet was given to her by Prince An. She originally found that the bracelet was hollow and was about to study it, but something happened to delay her. Then she left the capital and forgot about the bracelet when she came back.
Aster should have put it away for herself. After all, the bracelet was rather gorgeous and heavy, not suitable for a girl of Wen Wen's age.
Upon hearing this, Prince An said: "The Anguo Palace was surrounded by heavy troops, and General Wang's steward insisted that General Wang had embezzled money from the former treasury. In the morning, many officials clamored to seize the Anguo Palace every day. What a coincidence! I think someone from an enemy country is taking action against An Guogong's family.
Just in case, I was worried that someone in the house had been tricked and hid things from the previous dynasty's treasury without knowing it. I was worried that things would get out of control and the emperor would order the house to be confiscated, so I asked Duke An and his wife to seize the house. All the houses were taken out and inspected. I also reminded Mrs. An Guogong that some jewelry, such as hairpins and bracelets, can be made hollow and equipped with mechanisms, and some notes or other things are hidden inside. Search them carefully to make sure they are not missed. Then Princess Hui'an, the maid named Ziyuan next to you discovered that the bracelet was hollow, but she couldn't open it, so she gave it to me, but I couldn't open it either. I knew it was the bracelet my father gave to you. He said that this was not something from the previous treasury, so there was no need to worry. "
"At this time, my mother sent a message to me, saying that my father remembered where the list was! It was in the bracelet he gave to Princess Hui'an! Then we took the bracelet and returned to Prince An's Mansion to ask my father The king opened it and took it into the palace!"
Hearing this, Nuan Nuan felt that it was dangerous!
Otherwise, you will miss the opportunity to know the list again.
Nalan Jinnian gave Prince An a rare compliment: "Well done."
I know to let people from An Guo Gongfu check it myself in advance.
The most important thing is that during this period, they should stay in Anguo Duke's Mansion.
Of course, the three of them also have their own selfish motives, and Nalan Jinnian also knows it.
But no matter how selfish you are, it can't defeat the friendship of providing help in times of need.
Nuan Nuan couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the list we had been looking for for a long time was actually in my hands!"
Fortunately nothing happened!
Otherwise it would be strange if she didn't vomit blood!
She was rarely this negligent.
Prince Ning smiled and said, "You can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here."
Prince An protested after hearing this: "I have put in a lot of effort, okay?"
He also wanted to get more credit in front of Princess Hui'an and ask her to help him put in a nice word in front of Miss Jingmei!

The group returned to Duke Anguo's Mansion for dinner.
At noon, the heavy troops surrounding Duke Anguo's mansion had withdrawn. Wu also knew that Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian were back, so she had someone prepare a sumptuous dinner for them to eat when they came out of the palace.
This dinner was naturally a great pleasure for both host and guest.
Everyone had a little drink. Wang Xiao didn't drink because he had to rush to the border of Xihua overnight.
Wang Xiao ate in a hurry and returned to the general's mansion. He met with some stewards and explained some things before riding away directly.
Wang was heartbroken to see her eldest brother running around like this at such an old age, but she also knew that this was inevitable.
Although Wen Jiarui had learned from Xia Xuan that Wen Chun was okay, he was still worried. After dinner, he called Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian to the study to talk, mainly to ask about Wen Chun.
The Seventh Prince, Prince Ning, and Prince An can finally go back to sleep in their own mansion tonight. These days, they have been living in Duke An's mansion to support them.
Nuan Nuan sent the three of them out of the mansion, but Prince An walked out of the door of Duke An's mansion, excused himself to go to the toilet, and then ran in, leaving the Seventh Prince and Prince Ning to go first.
The seventh prince looked at the back of Prince An, holding his abdomen, and said to Prince Ning with an ambiguous expression: "Guess whether Yichen went back to use the toilet."
Prince Ning was a little drunk. He shook his head and felt dizzy: "He must have gone back to find Miss Wu!"
The Seventh Prince nodded: "Yes, haha... He finally can't hold it in any longer! I'm so envious!"
There is a woman I like pursuing.
Prince Ning nodded: "We will leave for Beiming in a few days. If he doesn't decide early, won't he be afraid that the swan meat is about to fly away from his mouth?"
The seventh prince nodded:
"How about we take a look secretly?"
Prince Ning thought for a while and nodded: "Okay!"
So the two of them walked in again.
When Prince An came to the Chuihua Gate, he asked the gatekeeper to call Wu Jingmei out and said that he wanted to ask her about pottery.
During these days, Prince An had been living in An Guogong Mansion. In order to have more contact with Wu Jingmei, he thought of asking Wu Jingmei to teach her how to make ceramics.
The servants could often see the two of them learning pottery in the yard.
So after hearing this, the woman who was guarding the door immediately went to invite Wu Jingmei.
Wu Jingmei returned to her yard after dinner, took a bath, and prepared for bed.
At this moment she was soaking in a wooden barrel full of rose petals.
At this time, a maid knocked on the door and said, "Girl, the lady guarding the door said that Prince An has something to ask you."
Wu Jingmei was slightly surprised: "Now? What else does he have to do so late??"
The maid replied: "It seems to be about pottery."
