Cut Frost

Chapter 46
"Ningyang, you should be seventeen this year, right?" Emperor Yongping asked Ningyang.

Ning Yang got up and replied, "Yes."

Yu'er gave birth to a crooked wisdom in a hurry, and quietly squeezed a small ice pellet and popped it out, centering on Ning Yang's chest.

As soon as Ning Yang finished speaking, a hiccup burst out, the sound was so loud that everyone in the audience could hear it.

Ningyang's face flushed red.

Emperor Yongping frowned.

Ning Yang hurriedly turned out of the banquet table and walked towards the hall. After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt a dull sound in his chest, and burped again.

Many of the people in the room were secretly smiling.

Ning Yang's face flushed red, neither walking nor returning.

A concubine surrounded by pearls left her seat and walked to Ning Yang's side.

Liu Mei has thick lips, the bridge of the nose is slightly collapsed, and the chin is pointed.

Seeing her kneeling on her knees, she said to Emperor Yongping: "Ning Yang is a little uncomfortable today, so he will lose his honor in front of the imperial court. Please don't blame the emperor."

"Who is this?" Yu'er said.

"Yes, it's Concubine Ye." Fang Qi said.

"Forget it, you are unwell today, go back and rest early." Emperor Yongping waved his hand.

Fanhua and Yujin hurriedly came up to help Ningyang and went back to the inner palace.

"It's dangerous!" Fang Qi patted her chest beside her and said.

Fang Rong was still covering her mouth and snickering.

Xiao Yezhu's expression softened.

However, Ning Jia was still a little trembling, and she couldn't sit up straight, and was slightly crooked.

Looking at Chi Rin again, looking at Ning Jia's side with both eyes, there seemed to be a little sweat on his forehead.

"Oh, two idiots..." Yu'er sighed.

Daoist Tianxuan looked at Fang Qi, Yu'er met his gaze, and she couldn't help shivering.

Now that his mana is restored, he shouldn't be discovered by him, right?
But there was some anxiety in my heart.

"Prime Minister Xiao, why don't you see Mrs. today?" Emperor Yongping turned to Prime Minister Xiao Jin and asked.

Prime Minister Xiao Jin, word carefully.

"My wife has been feeling unwell recently, so I can't come, and I ask the emperor to forgive the sin of neglect." Xiao Jin got up and cupped his hands back.

"It's okay, the seasons change, you have to be careful." Emperor Yongping said.

After a short pause, he suddenly said, "Why do you smell the medicine?"

When everyone heard the words, they sniffed for a while, looked at each other, and said, "There is indeed a medicinal smell."

"Imperial Father." The second prince, Xichang, stood up and said, "My son is developing a new prescription recently. The herbal smell is heavier, which disturbs everyone Yaxing. Please forgive me."

"It turned out to be you." Emperor Yongping said with a smile, "But you like to play with these, what new prescription is it, let's hear it."

"Hemostasis and raw meat, a medicine that can help wounds heal." Xichang said.

"There is no shortage of such medicines in the palace, why study this only?" Emperor Yongping said.

"Although there is no shortage in the palace, the amount needed in the battle is not small. Now my son is looking for several kinds of medicinal herbs, which are both easy to obtain and quite effective. If they can be found, they will definitely alleviate the needs of the army. " Xichang said.

Emperor Yongping nodded and said slowly: "It's rare for the emperor to have such a benevolent heart. If there is such a way, it is my luck to Huan Yue."

Yu'er looked at Xichang from a distance, and it was indeed a sign of weakness.

Xichang was frail since he was a child, and had never learned swordsmanship, riding and archery, but he did a lot of research on medicinal herbs.

"My son should do his best." Xichang said.

"Changfu." Emperor Yongping said, "Give the second prince the chasing moon waist card."

Holding the chasing the moon waist card can freely enter and exit the hundreds of palace gates in the palace.

"This waist card can make it easier for the emperor to go out of the palace to find the herbs he needs." Emperor Yongping said.

Xichang turned out of the banquet table, knelt down in the hall, took the card in his hand, and kowtowed in salute.

The monarchs and ministers recited again, and at three quarters of Xu, the banquet was dispersed.

Emperor Yongping got up first, and everyone knelt down to see him off.

The others also dispersed.

Ning Jia returned to Jianjia Palace, sat alone in front of the window, and stared at the begonia tree in the courtyard in a daze.

Yu'er fell asleep on the Xinghua chair.

Fangrong went to prepare for a bath.

"Three princesses, third princesses..." Fang Qi called out a few times, and Ning Jiafang responded.

"Does the third princess still remember what Miss Xiao said yesterday?" Fang Qi asked.

Ning Jia nodded slightly.

"In this situation, the third princess should make plans early." Fang Qi said.

"I..." Ning Jia said, "I don't know, what should I do..."

"Looking at the situation today, it's really hanging." Fang Qi thought about it and said, "Now, Mrs. Anguo has already opened her mouth, if Concubine Cheng speaks again, I'm afraid something is wrong, we have to think of other ways quickly. ."

Ning Jia did not speak.

"I think Commander Chi's thoughts should also be on the third princess." Fang Qi said, "At the banquet today, Mrs. Anguo said those words, look at Commander Chi, his face instantly turned pale, staring at the third princess. Although he meets less often on weekdays, he also cares about the third princess, and every time he sends gifts to the third princess, everything is sent to his heart, which shows that he is very caring."

Ning Jia looked at the pink begonias blooming in the courtyard, and remained silent.

Fang Qi said again: "If you miss it, you can..."

"Three princesses, you can take a bath." Fangrong pushed the door and said.

Fang Qi closed her mouth and said to Ning Jia, "Three princesses, go take a bath and rest early."

Ning Jia followed the two of them out.

*******
Dark night.

In an inn hundreds of miles away from Jingyue City, in an elegant guest room, candlelight is still bright.

You Jue held a tube of lake ink and pen, sketching a slender figure.

Tang Bo's illness has improved, Liu Mo and the others should not stay in Wuhai Village for a long time.

Yu'er may have left there.

It's a pity that I never asked where they came from and where they were going.

Now if you want to find her as soon as possible, it is necessary for Yusu to find a way.

He dropped ink several times and tore it up several times.

Because every time he thinks of her appearance, he gets angry.

If it wasn't for her obstruction, the tortoise would have long been the soul of my wand!
He put down his pen, opened the window and took a deep breath of the cool night air to calm himself down: The most important thing now is to find her, kill the turtle, and save the master!

************
Yu'er was soundly asleep when she was suddenly woken up by someone.

"Hey, how long are you going to stay here?" a voice said.

"Kurihara?" Yu'er heard the voice, it was Kurihara.

"It's time to go back." Kurihara said, "Aren't you going to let this little princess give you the old age?"

"Go back?" Yu'er said half-awake, "I haven't finished my business yet."

"Then have you thought about what to do?" Kurihara said.

"No." Yu'er stretched out her front paws and rubbed her face.

"Then go out with me for a few days, maybe you can find a good way." Kurihara said.

"How old are you? Why do you want me to accompany you?" Yu'er said.

"It's boring to be alone." Kurihara said.

"Are you bored? You have something to do soon." Yu'er said.

"What's the matter?" Kurihara asked.

"Wait and see, I'll find you when the time comes." Yu'er said.

"It's boring, I won't do it." Kurihara said.

"Then it's up to you." Yu'er said.

"Then give you a chance, don't make me wait too long." Kurihara said.

After that, he disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, before Ning Jia got up, the imperial concubine had already arrived.

Yu'er hurriedly jumped off the bed and got into the cave.

Ning Jia had just settled down, and Concubine Cheng had turned over the Begonia screen and entered the inner room.

"Mother." Ning Jia greeted her and said politely, "Why is it so early today?"

"Have you not woken up yet?" Concubine Cheng pulled Ning Jia up and smiled, "It's mother who came early."

Fang Qi and Fang Rong had brought water in, and Ning Jia cleaned her hands and face inside.

Fangqi picked up the comb and wanted to comb her hair with Ning Jia.

Concubine Cheng took it and said, "I'm coming, you all go out."

Fang Qi, Fang Rong, and Concubine Cheng's maids, Fan He and Lu Lu, left.

Concubine Cheng combed Ning Jia's black hair neatly and neatly, and then inserted the hairpin and bead flowers.

"Ning Jia has grown up." Concubine Cheng looked at Ning Jia in the mirror and said slowly.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Ning Jia noticed that she was a little strange.

Concubine Cheng pulled Ning Jia up, and the two sat side by side on the couch.

Reaching out his hand and gently stroking her soft hair, he looked at Ning Jia with a slight smile and said, "It's time to find you a husband-in-law."

"Mother..." Ning Jia didn't know what she would say, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"The third son of Prime Minister Xiao's family has not married yet. He is about the same age as you and has a good character. What do you think?" Concubine Cheng said slowly, but Ning Jia was shocked when she heard it.

"Mother!" Ning Jia exclaimed, "I, I..."

"He is talented in writing and martial, he is also outstanding among his peers, and he is gentle in nature. He will definitely treat you well." Concubine Cheng said slowly.

"No, no..." Ning Jia hurriedly shook her head.

"Mother knows." Concubine Cheng gently held Ning Jia's hand and said, "You have someone you like in your heart, don't you?"

Ning Jia looked at her and nodded.

"Ning Jia..." Concubine Cheng stretched out her other hand, caressed the top of her head lightly, and said slowly, "You are still young, how do you know what love is. When you two become relatives, you will no longer have any feelings in your heart. someone else."

"Mother, do you know who it is?" Ning Jia looked at her and asked.

"You are my daughter, how could my mother not know?" Concubine Cheng sighed.

"Then, this, why?" Ning Jia said, two lines of tears falling from her eyes.

"At the palace banquet yesterday, you also heard, Mrs. Anguo, she..." Concubine Cheng paused for a while, and then said softly to Ning Jia, "Although something went wrong, it was not decided on the spot, but she I've said it before, I'm afraid that Concubine Ye already has an idea in her heart, and if you argue with her, it will only make your father embarrassed."

Ning Jia heard the words, but did not speak for a while.

"Ning Jia, the Xiao family is the prime minister's residence, and his third son, Xiao Hengqi, is also a dragon and a phoenix. His appearance and character will not lose to him, so you can rest assured." Concubine Cheng said again.

"Mother..." Ning Jia called her softly, stared at Concubine Cheng and moved her lips a few times, but asked, "Concubine Ye, why do you hate us so much?"

When Concubine Cheng heard this, she looked at Ning Jia, but did not answer.

"Can't you tell me?" Ning Jia asked again.

"Alas..." Concubine Cheng sighed, and touched Ning Jia's soft black hair, "It's been more than 20 years. In a blink of an eye, you've grown so old, it's time to tell you."

Concubine Cheng stood up, turned her back to Ning Jia, and continued: "In the battle against Mingdan that year, my Huanyue Kingdom suffered heavy losses. Your grandfather was the general of the hussars at that time. The battle was defeated. Perhaps, it was the only defeat in his life, but it involved a lot of people..."

"Have they all died in battle?" Ning Jia said.

She didn't get an answer immediately. After a while of silence, Concubine Cheng shook her head and said, "No. Although we lost before the battle, there were not too many casualties, just..."

Concubine Cheng suddenly stopped and her voice trembled slightly.

"Just, what?" Ning Jia asked softly.

"At that time, the first emperor was still in power." Concubine Cheng stabilized her emotions, "Suddenly issued a decree to investigate the responsibility of the defeated soldiers, and the generals, generals and generals will be punished for serious crimes..."

"Ah!" Ning Jia was shocked when she heard the words.

　Taking time to revise important parts of another part,

　　Now you can calm down and concentrate on coding this.
