Started to get rich after exile

On the 27th day of the first lunar month, Tang Ning went to the palace as a guest to see He Bai's fiancé in legend.

"Where's Hebai girl's fiancé? Where's the person? Let me see!"

Arriving before people arrived, Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and looked at the beauty who came in through the curtain with a smile.

"I've been sitting here, why would I want to see someone else's fiance?"

Feng Chun followed behind with a suppressed smile, Tang Ning didn't take off her cloak, she stepped forward two steps and bowed in salute, her eyes teasing, "Don't dare, the daughter of the people greets the princess."

"Oh, what are you doing!" Ming Lanying hurriedly got up to help her, helped Tang Ning and went to pull Fengchun, "Get up, there are no such vain things between us."

Tang Ning was very familiar with her temperament, so she saluted and teased her, followed her strength to get up, Feng Chun stepped forward to untie her cloak, and Ming Lanying personally served tea to them.

The burning ground dragon in the hall was dry and warm, Tang Ning sighed and leaned back in the armchair, and said politely, "So many big things happened in the past few months when I was not in the capital, you have become a princess, I am a small businessman How can grass people sit with you?"

"Can't sit with you, don't you also drink the tea I made and eat the snacks I made by myself?" Ming Lanying squinted at her coquettishly, "Those things are over, and there is nothing to mention about this princess's status. It's just to gain fame, so with this status, Ah Ning won't play with me anymore?"

"How dare you, how dare you, your status is extraordinary now, you have to protect me!"

Ming Lanying raised her chin reservedly, "Of course, whoever dares to bully you in the future, just tell him that you are a good sister of Princess Yanbei! The third-rank imperial order from the empress, I will let the cubs bite him directly. Let's see who dares to make a mistake!"

Tang Ning and Feng Chun couldn't help laughing at Ming Lanying's proud look.

Tang Ning's temperament would never let herself be wronged, let alone the second lady of the famous Tang family, no one would dare to shake her face at Tang Ning with this status, and Tang Ning's sister is the imperial concubine, who would dare to bully her? she?Don't die!

But Ming Lanying's words still warmed her heart. There is nothing more comforting than a friend who will stand up for her, and this friend is also the only princess with a different surname who has been appointed as the wife of the imperial court.

"By the way, where's your Ning'er? That girl He Bai isn't there either?"

Tang Ning looked left and right and looked around, there were only the three of them in the hall, Ning'er was the most attached to Ming Lanying, and He Bai knew she would come today, but now she's not here.

Speaking of this, Ming Lanying was happy, "Ning and Shan Zhao went to play together, that girl He Bai didn't like to stay in the same house with Shan Zhao, so she ran out to play again."

Tang Ning also liked He Bai looking for fun and seeing no one around, but was surprised that Ning'er and Shan Zhao got together, "Ning'er and Shan Zhao are playing really well?"

Ming Lanying picked and picked the things about the beast garden, and only said that they were cubs picked up. Ning'er grew up with wolf cubs, and now she also likes these animals. She often goes to the beast garden to feed and play. Shan Zhao is purely a plush fan, he likes milky and fluffy cubs.

"Shan Zhao and He Bai said that there was a misunderstanding. Except for the occasional bickering at the dinner table for three meals a day, the two rarely see each other on weekdays. One is soaking in the beast garden, and the other is wandering around without being seen."

Tang Ning always felt that something was wrong, "You seem to have raised an extra child?"

Ming Lanying thought about it again, and it seemed that she really thought about it.

He Bai was mischievous and active, running around to make trouble, either competing with Tai Yi and the others, going to drink with Fan Yue, or going to the Imperial Guard barracks to teach the Imperial Guards.

Shan Zhao is more sensible and likes little cubs. He can spend a day in the beast garden, and the two of them will quarrel and quarrel when they meet.

Ming Lanying: "..."

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, and clicked her tongue, "Shan Zhao really looks like Hebai, he is carefree and loves to smile, he bought him off after a meal, and now he is happy to live in the palace."

Tang Ning was happy, and counted with her fingers, "First of all, you have Ning'er, who is cute, sensible and cute, and you don't need to worry about everything, but Ning'er is still young and needs to be raised; then you also have Hebai, although Hebai Now she is a female general, but her playful and mischievous nature is still there, and she talks a lot, just like the second child at home who wants to attract your attention; now there is another Shan Zhao, although Shan Zhao just arrived, she still has a relationship with He Bai I have a marriage contract, but I have obviously integrated into this palace, and I am also talkative, and I am used to fluffy cubs, just like the third child in the family."

Feng Chun laughed and said: "The princess is raising three worry-free monkey children, the palace is very lively."

Ming Lanying propped her forehead with a headache, "Except for Shan Zhao being naive when confronting He Bai, he is fine at other times."

Tang Ning smiled, "I haven't met Shan Zhao yet, since he's soaking in the beast garden now, I'll know when I meet him when we have dinner."

Ye Juelu is not in court now, and the matters in his hands have been handed over one by one. He is currently a dissipated prince, but he will be called into the palace by the emperor to help if he has something to do. In the past two days, the next empress of the neighboring country is still under discussion. A while ago, Ming Lanying met the golden eagle, who was in the period of passionate love, and asked her to accompany Chunfen to a neighboring country for a honeymoon, and to find out some news by the way.

Maybe something came to fruition today, Ye Juelu came back before lunch, knowing that Tang Ning and Fengchun would be here today, he said hello first, changed clothes and came out to accompany Ming Lanying to entertain guests.

Tang Ning saw that after he came back, she quietly stayed by Ming Lanying's side to serve him. She didn't look ruthless outside at all. She clicked her tongue twice in surprise. After all, he was someone she liked as a lifesaver. Seeing Ye Jue Lu is skillfully serving her good sister drinking tea, wiping her hands and peeling melon seeds. She is still in a delicate mood, a little... so happy for her sister.

Ming Lanying prepared the lunch in advance and taught the cook to cook it. Before it was ready, Ming Lanying asked Ye Juelu about the discussion. Tang Ning had a special status, and Ye Juelu didn't hide it.

"People have been sent to find out the real situation. The crown prince is very ambitious, and there is a possibility that she is doing it secretly. It will take some time to confirm, but the borders with neighboring countries will be more vigilant."

"The border with neighboring countries? Isn't it a frontier?"

Ye Juelu nodded, "Yes, the emperor gave me the frontier fiefdom at the beginning to let me guard the frontier fortress. The princes and daughters of neighboring countries are not easy-going lamps. They have always been eyeing our territory. No matter who is in power, it will provoke conflict between the two countries. struggle."

As soon as Tang Ning heard it, she knew it was about the royal family of the neighboring country. It just so happened that she came back from the neighboring country for this business trip, so she also heard about it.

"In the autumn, it was rumored that their queen was assassinated, but the assassin failed. Now is this when they start fighting for the reserve?"

Ye Juelu shook his head, "It's hard to say."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, as if she understood Ye Juelu's meaning, "It's nothing more than fighting for the crown prince, but fighting for the throne is terrible?"

Ye Juelu nodded, "The fight for heir is a struggle between princes and daughters, and the fight for imperial power is regicide."

Ming Lanying was dumbfounded, it was because the emperor of this country is so merciful that she forgot that the emperor's family is the most ruthless in the world.

Tang Ning was not surprised at all. With her business experience traveling all over the world, she knew more or less the customs of other countries.

Ming Lanying murmured to herself: "But aren't they blood relatives?"

Fengchun explained: "Neighboring countries don't pay attention to the difference between men and women. Whether it is a prince or a queen, anyone who is capable can become an emperor. Each of their emperors will leave many heirs. It is already a bloodshed for us It's a terrible situation, but for neighboring countries, the nineteen sons are just a small scene, not to mention that there are 26 princes and daughters under the queen's knees, counting the adoptive sons and daughters. The fight is really bloody. Don't be surprised by the princess .”

Ye Juelu knew that Ming Lanying was not a native, so he reached out to hold her hand and squeezed it comfortingly, "It's also an opportunity for us when they mess up, the royal family is in chaos, and they have no backbone, so they have no time to take care of the border city. A good time for us to take over."

Ming Lanying was taken aback, and Tang Ning smiled, "My grandfather said that the emperors of all dynasties guarded the country with their careers, so that the next emperor will have more confidence to expand the territory. The territory is vast. A rich country and a strong people are the foundation of a strong country.”

Ming Lanying understood, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's true, it's just that Prince Heng tried to collude with neighboring countries to rebel, and the queen sent a letter to remind me that this favor..."

The corner of Ye Juelu's mouth raised slightly, "We saved her life first by giving the medicine, and she refused Prince Heng's letter to repay the favor, so she can sit in that position until now. Now the two countries owe nothing to each other."

Ming Lanying suddenly realized that she almost forgot that it was the golden eagle who asked them to give the medicine first by mistake, and the queen returned the favor.

Otherwise, the queen would have colluded with Prince Heng long ago, and then cut off the city and turned around to attack them. They are all emperors. If they hadn't owed them favors first, the two countries would have fought when Prince Heng rebelled.

Tang Ning also knew about Prince Heng's rebellion, but she only received an open letter from her family and Ming Lanying after the fact. She was in a foreign country, so she could only write a letter to say hello in a state of panic.

Tang Ning sighed, "I was scared to death when I received your letter. Fortunately, you are all right. I will only go out for a year. The capital almost changed."

Ming Lanying smiled and patted her hand, "I heard from the Empress that your sister's first thought was that she was afraid that you would be affected outside."

Tang Ning has the best relationship with her sister, that's why the Tang family has been turning a blind eye to Tang Ning leaving the business all these years.

Tang Ning smiled, "She was afraid that something would happen to me out of her eyelids since she was a child, but later she knew that the Empress Empress gave birth to the little prince at such a dangerous time. My sister was surprised and happy. I heard that it was you who gave birth to the little prince. You are a great hero for staying by the empress's side, and your contribution is indisputable."

Ming Lanying shook her head helplessly. She didn't dare to take credit for this. She seemed to think of something, and turned to Ye Juelu, "Since the two countries don't owe each other, why don't we help each other and make the queen owe us favors?"

Tang Ning smiled and nodded her face, "Are you stupid? The empress is 76 years old this year. Even if we help her, she won't be able to sit as emperor for a few years, and the favors are not enough. What are we bothering about. "

Ming Lanying was startled, she thought the queen was only in her fifties and sixties, and she could fight for a few more years, but she didn't expect to be 76 this year!

Ye Juelu poured tea for her, brought it to her hand, and said in a deep voice: "The queen of the neighboring country must have been assassinated, and she is just struggling. At this time, it is useless for us to help each other. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight." Just wait for the right time to send troops."

Ming Lanying took a sip of hot tea silently and sighed, "I'm really not suitable for doing these things."

She didn't even collect the most basic information on national affairs, so she didn't care about these thought-consuming things.

Tang Ning frowned, "Let your man think about these things, what are you worrying about!"

Ye Juelu felt refreshed after being called by this name, and looked at Ming Lanying with bright eyes.

Ming Lanying's cheeks became hot from the scorching eyes that couldn't be ignored, she stretched out her hand to push Ye Juelu's face away, and changed the subject, "It's almost dinner time, go and see if the kitchen is ready."

Seeing that she was shy, Ye Juelu turned his head indistinctly, and wiped a kiss on her fingertips, "Okay."

After Ye Juelu left, Tang Ning and Feng Chun glanced at each other, and the ambiguous atmosphere between them was so sweet that their teeth were sour.

Ming Lanying: "..." The old man blushed!
The servants were putting the food on the table, Ye Juelu went to Yanwuchang to catch his son and Shan Zhao, He Bai happened to come back with a meal schedule, Manager Wang came over and invited them to the dining room.

Tang Ning formally meets Shan Zhao, and has a good first impression of this sunny and cheerful boy who loves to smile.

Shan Zhao greeted Tang Ning with a smile, and complimented Tang Ning's beauty casually, He Bai couldn't help but sneered at him, and made a mockery of it.

"Sister Tang Ning is bright and cheerful. You haven't seen such a beautiful girl in the border, have you? How pathetic."

Shan Zhao didn't hold back either, he slammed three sentences back at He Bai's sentence.

"I've never seen anyone prettier than Princess Wang and Sister Tang. I've seen a lot of people like you at the border. You have average eyes, average nose, average face, and average martial arts. It's not uncommon."

"What a joke! If you are blind, you can't see the beauty of my aunt! My sister-in-law approves of her appearance! You are not good enough for my aunt and me! If you want to compete, just say so, after dinner Did my aunt beat me up and I'm looking for teeth all over the place!"

"Ha! Just you? Master, I will hit two with one hand! I don't want you to stick to me, but I am a flower! The princess kindly said that you look like a human being, and you take it seriously. Don't go too far." I put gold on my face, and Zai Zai with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and pretty lines looks prettier than you!"

Tang Ning had seen how naive the two of them could be. There was no misunderstanding or dispute between the two of them, only pure dislike.

As big as the appearance attack, as small as the details of the nails, even the meal is faster than anyone else, and it is a good boast.

Ming Lanying helplessly pulled Tang Ning and the stunned Fengchun to sit down, "We eat ours, don't worry about them."

Ning'er obediently poured milk tea for the two of them, "Sister Tang Ning, sister Fengchun, try the sweet milk tea made by mother, it's delicious!"

Tang Ning took a sip of the hot milk tea when she heard the words. The milk was rich and fragrant, with a soothing tea aroma and just the right amount of sweetness.

Tang Ning and Feng Chun's eyes were bright, and Feng Chun praised, "I have traveled so many places with my lady, and I have also drank salty milk tea. I think it has a special flavor, but I am not used to it. I have never found that sweet milk tea is so delicious. It is completely different. !"

Tang Ning drank most of the bowl first, "Sure enough, Lanying's cooking is delicious, and I have to come to you for at least two meals a year to complete it!"

Ming Lanying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and used serving chopsticks to pick up food for the two of them, "Then eat more, or those two people will finish it off."

Ming Lanying brought vegetables to Tang Ning and Fengchun, and Ye Juelu left them to Ning'er and Ning'er. They had a great time eating, and the bickering between He Bai and Shan Zhao became the lively background sound.
