Cut Frost

Chapter 38
When Concubine Cheng heard this question, her body froze.

"Mother..." Ning Jia called to her softly.

Concubine Cheng was silent for a while, then said slowly: "Ning Jia, you are still young, the affairs of the previous generation should have nothing to do with you."

Saying that, he leaned down and hugged Ning Jia gently, and said softly, "You have suffered all these years."

"What happened to the previous generation?" Ning Jia asked.

Concubine Cheng straightened up, showed a wry smile, shook her head and said, "The past can't be changed, so why bring it up again."

"Mother..." Ning Jia called.

Concubine Cheng put on a smile, pulled up Ning Jia, turned her around, looked at her, and said, "Yes, it looks like my mother when she was young."

Ning Jia also looked at her and smiled.

Concubine Cheng took her hand and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back now."

"Mother, won't you sit for a while?" Ning Jia asked.

"I'm tired, too." Concubine Cheng said, taking Ning Jia to the outside world, "In two days, it will be the Weifu Festival, and there will be a lot of excitement. On the Weifu Festival, we will gather together in the palace and give a banquet. Civil and military officials, you should rest early and restore your spirits."

"Yes." Ning Jia said.

As soon as Concubine Cheng left, a group of snow-white little foxes emerged from the soft collapse.

Ning Jia bent down and picked her up, smiled and said, "Fortunately, you hid in time. If your mother sees it, it will be bad."

However, Yu'er broke free from her embrace, jumped lightly to the ground, turned into a human body, and asked excitedly, "Just now, Concubine Cheng said that there will be a lot of fun during the Weifu Festival in two days, what is it?"

"Oh, there is a Muyun Meeting every year before the Weifu Festival." Ning Jia said.

"What does Mu Yunhui do?" Yu'er asked.

"It's the heirs of the court officials and the imperial brothers. These younger generations will compete with each other in riding, archery and swordsmanship," Ning Jia said.

"Can the juniors of officials compete with the princes?" Yu'er asked.

"Originally, there was no such thing. It was the emperor who said that today the world is in chaos and border battles are endless, and the younger generation must improve day by day and serve the country in the future. Therefore, a small school was specially built in the palace, so that they could be in the palace since they were young. Xiaoxiaochang and the royal brothers will learn about riding, archery and swordsmanship together." Ning Jia said.

Before Yu'er could speak, Fangrong said quickly, "The emperor also asked the princesses to learn some riding and archery skills, and our three princesses can also draw bows and shoot arrows."

When Yu'er heard it, she remembered Ning Jia's practice of swordsmanship, and said with a smile, "Three princesses, your swordsmanship is not bad."

Ning Jia shook her head gently: "I really can't learn..."

"Actually, why does the third princess need to learn these things, as long as Captain Chi can win the crown of the moon this year." Fang Rong said.

"Who is Captain Chi?" Yu'er asked curiously.

"That's it..." Fangrong wanted to say, but Ning Jia hurriedly interrupted her: "Fangrong, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that Ning Jia's face was slightly red, Yu'er remembered that she was alone.

Among the people I saw in the Imperial Garden today, the young captain with a water-embroidered ochre robe, seems to be Chi Lin?
Yu'er understood, looked at Ning Jia with a smile, then turned to ask Fangrong, "Will Mu Yun be fun? Could it be that the sons of those officials are letting the princes, so they don't dare to compare?"

"How come, none of the people who have won the moon crown in recent years are not princes." Fang Rong said.

"Oh, the lunar crown is so attractive?" Yu'er said.

"Of course, not only can you get the hundred taels of gold bestowed by the emperor, but the most powerful thing is that you can get special permission to meet the emperor and discuss matters in the court." Fang Rong said.

Yu'er sneered and said, "It's just a matter of discussion in the previous court, but do you need special permission to meet the emperor?"

"Yeah, you thought the emperor was so easy to see. If the title is not enough, there is no chance at all." Fangrong said.

Yu'er tutted a few times in her heart: This old emperor's pedigree is really not small, I must go to see him today.

At night, when Ning Jia fell asleep, Yu'er jumped off the soft couch, turned into a human figure, leaned over and smiled at Ning Jia, who was asleep, "Finally fell asleep, I'm going to find your emperor father. "

After speaking, he turned around the Begonia screen, walked to the door, gently opened the door, and came out sideways.

Although it was a period of recuperation, it was not appropriate to make a big move, but the terrain in the palace was still a little familiar.

Go out the door and go straight to the Qianping Palace.

This Qianping Palace is where the emperor lives.

The palaces of the princesses are all gathered in Mingde Garden.

Among the princesses, the eldest princess, Ning Huang, had already married Zhou Jiaqi, the eldest son of Shang Shuling Zhou Yuncheng, and her palace was empty now.

The second princess, Ning Yang, lives in Xuyang Palace.

The fourth princess' Amber Palace is not far from the second princess' Xuyang Palace.

Among the princes, except for the prince who lived alone in Danye Palace, the palaces of other princes lived in Xiaoyi Garden.

The prince who was crowned king set up another mansion in the capital.

Now the second prince, Xichang, has been named King Jingheng, and the fourth prince, Ximin, has been named King Muxing.

However, the second prince was still living in the Ningchang Palace of Xiaoyi Garden due to his frail health and illness, and was consulted by imperial physicians.

The third prince died.

So far, there are still five princes living in Xiaoyi Garden.

The emperor lived in Qianping Palace, and other concubines had other palaces.

There are scruples in the daytime, and you can't come out to wander around. Now that the black people are quiet at night, it's the right time.

However, the Taoist priest that night was indeed powerful, and he should not reveal his deeds.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Yu'er quietly sneaked to the Qianping Palace while identifying the direction.

The outer layers of the Qianping Palace were guarded more closely than others.

However, Yu'er easily arrived in the palace.

When I touched the emperor's bedroom, a large agarwood bed was empty.

It's so late and you haven't come back yet?
I heard Ning Jia say that the emperor was diligent in his administration day and night, and often stayed up all night. Could it be that he was still in the Chongqing Hall?

So out of Qianping Palace, go straight to Chongqing Palace.

Chongqing Hall is still brightly lit.

Yu'er sneaked into the hall quietly, jumped on the roof beam, and looked down.

Guo saw a person sitting on the Panlong high-back chair, wearing a golden crown with bright yellow hair and a black embroidered golden dragon robe.

Dare to sit on this chair and dress like this, there is no doubt that it is Yin Muren, Emperor Yongping.

Look at him with thick eyebrows, high nose, thin shoulders and long body, looking at the memorial on the table intently.

Standing next to him is Changfu, a personal servant.

It was finally time to get to the point, Yu'er took out a black bug the size of an ant from her arms.

This little worm is called Wing Chick.

And scratch nowhere to scratch, scratch nowhere to scratch, I wish I could gouge out my heart and lungs.

To remove, just a few drops of honey can lead it out.

Yu'er put the winged chick on her finger and was about to pop it out towards Emperor Yongping, when suddenly someone grabbed her hand.

Yu'er was shocked!

Before he could make a sound, someone covered his mouth.
