Chapter 101 Take root in my heart
The two walked towards the Zhaixing Pavilion while talking.

When he was about to reach the Zhaixing Pavilion, Uncle Lu hurried over and said: "Master, it's not good, the second lady from the residence of Ning Yuan from the Ministry of Industry fell into the lake."

Both Shi Jingyang and Cheng Guogong were shocked.

Shi Jingyang frowned slightly, the matter of Ning He's falling into the water in his previous life was investigated by Wu Mingxuan.

Before he went to the border, Wu Mingxuan asked him to drink for him to practice, and Wu Mingxuan told him about it after he was drunk.

Ning He fell into the water because of Sister Yi, and Sister Yi's goal was Ning Wei. By mistake, it was Ning He who fell into the water.

In this life, the marriage contract between the two mansions was cancelled, and Ning Wei will come to the Duke's mansion for a banquet today.

Without a marriage contract, Sister Yi would not be angry with Miss Ningfu.

He thought that Ning He would not fall into the water today.

Okay, how did Ning He fall into the water?

Cheng Guogong asked: "How is it? Has anyone been rescued? Is there any serious problem?"

Uncle Lu leaned forward and said, "He has been rescued, and it was His Highness Chen Wang who rescued him."

Shi Jingyang repeated: "Did His Royal Highness save you?"

Lu Bo leaned forward and said, "Yes, at that time, His Royal Highness Chen Wang came out of the flower hall to congratulate, and happened to pass by the lake."

Shi Jingyang frowned slightly, could it be that the fate of Ning He and Chen Wang was destined by heaven?

Cheng Guogong noticed Shi Jingyang's abnormality and asked, "Brother Le, do you have any doubts?"

Things are still unclear, and no conclusions can be drawn.

Shi Jingyang shook his head and said, "I just feel a little strange."

Cheng Guogong nodded, and said to Uncle Lu: "Let someone find out what's going on."

Uncle Lu bowed in response, "Yes, I understand."

On the other side, Wu Mingxuan took Chen Wang to Purple Bamboo Garden to change his clothes out of caution. "Fourth Master, please come inside."

Lu Ming, King Chen's entourage, said, "Uncle Wu, I'm here. Go and do your work."

Wu Mingxuan leaned forward, and said: "Hot water has been prepared in the washroom, please let Steward Lu wait for the prince to wash first. I will wait at the gate of the courtyard. If there is anything, Steward Lu will call me."

Lu Ming nodded, took the clothes from the servants and entered the room with Chen Wang.

"The bathroom is here, please wash first."

Chen Wang turned and went into the bathroom, and Lu Ming followed him in to serve him.

After Chen Wang took a bath and changed his clothes, he returned to the room just now.

Lu Ming wrung Chen Wang's hair dry with a handkerchief, and then tied it up for him.

Chen Wang didn't say a word during the whole process, and the room was so quiet that breathing could be heard.

After tidying up, Chen Wang asked: "Didn't it be agreed to let Miss Wu fall into the water? Why did you change people?"

The voice suddenly sounded, Lu Ming shook his hands, and replied cautiously: "Master, calm down, I will send someone to investigate immediately."

King Chen stopped talking, Lu Ming carefully arranged the clothes for King Chen, bowed his waist and asked, "Master, do you want to rest here or..."

Chen Wang didn't reply immediately, but walked to the window and looked at a green lotus leaf in front of him.

Lu Ming stood beside him with his hands down.

After a while, Chen Wang turned and walked out the door, and said as he walked: "Go back first, let someone check what happened today, and check Ning Yuanwailang's residence by the way."

Lu Ming bowed and responded: "Yes, I understand."

Chen Wang walked out of the courtyard.

At this time, Cheng Guogong, the son of Cheng Guogong, waited at the door with the son of the Wu family.

Seeing King Chen coming out, Duke Cheng hurried forward to greet him.Said: "It's because the old man didn't arrange well that such things happened in the mansion.

I disturbed the prince, please forgive me. "

King Chen stepped forward to help Cheng Guogong, and said: "Your Majesty is serious. What happened today was just an accident. You don't have to take it to heart."

Originally thought that Chen Wang would make use of the topic to make troubles.

Unexpectedly, King Chen was so eloquent, which surprised Duke Cheng.

Cheng Guogong bowed his body and said, "My lord is generous, I am very grateful. My lord, please go to my study to tell."

When Chen Wang came to the mansion today, he only wanted to see Wu Mingyi, and he didn't want to chat about life with Cheng Guogong, an old fox.

He declined politely and said: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. However, I still have something to do, so I won't stay here any longer. Instead, the king will come to bother you again."

Cheng Guogong said some polite words, and sent King Chen out of the mansion with his family.

When King Chen was far away, Cheng Guogong and his party turned back to the mansion.

Cheng Guogong's son went to the study with Cheng Guogong.

As soon as he stepped through the door, Cheng Guogong's son asked: "Father, what do you mean by King Chen?

Could it be that Chen Wang fell in love with the little lady in Ning Yuanwailang's house?

Otherwise, with so many people present, is it necessary for him, a prince, to jump down to save people? "

Cheng Guogong put his left hand on the armrest, and rubbed the center of his eyebrows with his right hand. Instead of answering his son directly, he asked, "Which girls were by the lake at that time?"

The prince of Chengguo thought for a while and replied: "Mingyi, Mingyao, Jingxing, Jingchen, Xingyu, the third lady from Yang's mansion, the ladies from Li's mansion... more than half of the young ladies who came to the banquet are here. .Father asks what is this for?"

Cheng Guogong said: "Ning Yuanwailang is a sixth-rank official, and the distance between his house and the palace is like clouds and mud, with a distance of one hundred and eight thousand miles.

There is no intersection between the two mansions. Before today, King Chen probably had never seen this little lady from Ning Mansion, so why come to talk about it? "

Cheng Guogong's son blurted out: "What if King Chen fell in love with the young lady of the Ning family at first sight? With a stupefied young man like Chen Wang, he is full of vigor, anything can happen."

Cheng Guogong shook his head, "If Chen Wang really fell in love with Ning's young lady at first sight, then he would not have talked to us in such a good-tempered manner just now in Purple Bamboo Garden.

Chen Wang will definitely blame us for our lack of hospitality, and he will also care about the condition of the young lady of the Ning family.However, Chen Wang did not. "

The prince of Chengguo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Father is right. But, what is the purpose of King Chen today? To gain a good reputation?"

Cheng Guogong waved his hand, "If you don't understand, let's let it go first. Have you checked it out? It's all right, how can people fall?"

Cheng Guogong's son replied: "I checked, it was just an accident. It is said that the second lady of the Ning Mansion likes lotus flowers and wanted to pick one to play with in her hand, but she stepped on her foot and fell into the lake. "

After hearing this, Cheng Guogong was silent for a moment, and said: "The matter happened in our house, and it was because we didn't take good care of it.

Turn around, let Mrs. Li choose some presents, and go to the door to pay for them.Tomorrow, you will also go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find Ning Yuanwailang to apologize. "

Cheng Guogong's son bowed and responded: "Yes, my son understands."

Cheng Guogong waved his hand, "Go down."

After Cheng Guogong's son left, Lu Bo opened the door and came in.

Cheng Guogong told him about the discovery of the "nail" in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, and finally confessed: "Taking advantage of today's incident, I would like to conduct a thorough investigation."

Uncle Lu bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."

On the carriage of the Ning Mansion, Ning He leaned against Mrs. Zhao's arms, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, it really wasn't because my daughter stepped on her foot and fell down.

The daughter felt that someone pushed her hard from behind. The daughter was pushed down, but why didn't Aunt let her tell the truth just now? "

Mrs. Zhao's gaze sank, she looked down at Ning He in her arms, and whispered: "He'er, that's the Duke's Mansion, the queen's natal family.

We were able to go to the Duke's mansion for a banquet today, thanks to the favor of Liu Shilang's mansion.

The water in the big family is deep. If we are a little careless, we don't know who we will offend.

A Niang tells you that when you encounter such a thing in the future, when you don't know who the other party is and what the purpose is, it will always be your own carelessness.

Only by ascribing responsibility to yourself can you pick yourself out.Understand? "

Ning He didn't understand, but seeing Mrs. Zhao's solemn appearance, she nodded half-understanding, "Yes, my daughter understands."

Mrs. Zhao went on to say: "Today's matter is not easy."

Ning He looked at Mrs. Zhao with a puzzled face, "Mother, can you tell your daughter? Why is it not easy?"

Mrs. Xiao Zhao looked down at Ning He and said, "Chengguo's mansion is the queen's natal family, but it was Prince Chen who rescued you from the lake.

King Chen was born to a noble concubine. It is already very strange that King Chen appeared in Chengguo's mansion today, but it is even more strange that he even rescued you. "

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao suddenly thought of something, "He'er, have you met King Chen before?"

Ning He thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Daughter has no impression, probably not."

Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "He'er, who was there when you fell into the water?"

Ning He thought about it, and brought up the people around him when the incident happened.At the end, he said: "At that time, my daughter's attention was on the banquet hall on the other side of the lake, and she didn't pay much attention to the people around her."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't tell what was wrong.

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's silence, Ning He asked in fear, "Mother, the daughter that His Royal Highness Chen Wang rescued today, her daughter's name..."

Mrs. Xiao Zhao sighed, and said: "If His Highness Chen Wang is interested in you, he will carry you into the mansion. If His Royal Highness Chen Wang has no intentions of you, then he will not mention this matter.

Alas, we can only swallow this loss.Fortunately, the other party was His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and no one else dared to bite their tongues.After a while, everyone will forget about it.

These days, you'd better stay in the mansion and live in seclusion, understand? "

Ning He's face was pale, and she said eagerly: "Mother, my daughter should not marry into Prince Chen's mansion, but my daughter should marry Prince Shi. Mother, please help my daughter."

Ning He wiped tears while talking, she was really anxious.

Mrs. Zhao felt extremely uncomfortable seeing her daughter crying, but the other party was a prince, a prince, how could she afford to offend her?
"He'er, that's His Royal Highness Chen Wang, it's the eyeball of the noble concubine, there's nothing Aniang can do about it."

Ning He was so sad that she leaned against Mrs. Zhao, her tears fell like broken beads.

Madam Xiao Zhao hugged Ning He into her arms, and said comfortingly: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang is the prince, the prince.

If you can marry into Prince Chen's Mansion, it will be a good fortune, better luck than marrying into Weiyuan Hou's Mansion.

Silly girl, why are you crying? "

After hearing this, Ning He burst into tears. "Aniang, my daughter only wants to marry Shi Shizi."

Mrs. Xiao Zhao asked while wiping tears for Ning He: "Why?"

Ning He blurted out: "Many years ago, Shi Shizi entered my daughter's heart."

"Many years ago?" Mrs. Zhao asked.

Ning He replied with a crying voice, "Yes, many years ago."

Mrs. Xiao Zhao helped Ning He sit up, "Tell Aniang, what's going on?"

Ning He wiped away her tears, and said: "When my daughter was seven years old, when the apricots were ripe, my daughter was under the apricot tree in our yard, looking at the apricots that were full of trees, and she was so greedy, thinking about how to get the apricots.

Just when his daughter was in trouble, Shi Shizi stood beside his daughter, looked up at the apricots on the tree, then looked at his daughter and asked, want to eat?
The daughter nodded, and Shi Shizi kicked his legs when he heard this, and he flew up into the air, stood on the branch, and picked a large handful of apricots for me.

That was the first time the daughter saw Shi Shizi, and later, whenever Shi Shizi came to look for the second brother, the daughter would join him in the second brother's courtyard.

I don't know when, maybe Shi Shizi picked apricots for his daughter, and Shi Shizi took root in his daughter's heart.

If he doesn't come to the house, the daughter wants to see him.

So, my daughter often went out shopping, to the places he frequented, hoping to meet him.

A Niang, my daughter only has Shi Shizi in her heart, and she only wants to marry him. "

Mrs. Xiao Zhao looked at her begging daughter and couldn't say a word.

She was afraid of seeing her daughter's disappointed eyes.

After a long while, Mrs. Zhao said: "Aniang knows, He'er, don't worry, wait for a while, and see His Highness Chen Wang's reaction in a few days.

If His Highness Chen Wang is planning something today, your father is only a sixth-rank official, and our family has no power or power, so His Highness Chen Wang must not be targeting you.

As long as His Royal Highness Chen does not mention this matter, we will be fine, understand? "

Ning He understood, nodded and said, "Okay!"

On the other side, Ning Guangyan originally wanted to talk to Marquis Weiyuan, but after searching around, he couldn't find Marquis Weiyuan. After inquiring, he found out that Marquis Weiyuan couldn't come today due to business.

After getting the exact letter, Ning Yang looked at the dignitaries who were greeting each other, then looked at himself who was out of place, and said to Ning Guangyan, "Father, let's go back first."

If it wasn't for Zhao Shi's forcing, Ning Guangyan wouldn't want to come. He doesn't like to beg for help with a shy face.

Ning Guangyan's son's words hit Ning Guangyan's heart, and he nodded immediately: "Come on, let's go to Baoping Lane to pick up your grandmother and the others back home.

Ning Yang nodded, "Okay! Let's go."

Therefore, Ning Guangyan took Ning Yang and left early.

However, when Ning Guangyan and Ning Yang went to Baoping Lane, they were stopped outside the door.

Ning Guangyan looked at the servants of the concierge of the Xu Mansion in disbelief, "I'm Ning Guangyan, I'm here to visit my mother, you won't let me in?"

Zhao Tian, ​​the gatekeeper of the Xu Mansion, said expressionlessly: "Madam has ordered that visitors must hold a postcard to enter the house. If they have not handed over the postcard, they can only enter the mansion with Madam's permission."

Ning Yang felt that there was no need to argue with a servant, so he turned to Ning Guangyan and asked, "Does father have a message?"

Ning Guangyan was annoyed: "I decided to come here on the spur of the moment, how can there be a post?"

Ning Yang turned to the concierge and said: "We decided to come here temporarily, there is no post, please go in and report, just say that the master and uncle of Ning's mansion are here to visit."

The gatekeepers stood in a row without moving.

Ning Guangyan was very angry when he received the slight, and said, "Are you going deaf?"

Zhao Tian said: "Our master has gone to the government office, and my wife has gone out for a banquet. At this time, there is no master in the mansion. If the two of you want to enter the mansion, you have to wait for our master to come back. Or you two, please come back and come back another day."

Ning Guangyan asked: "Where are my mother and son? Are they not in the mansion?"
