Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 345 Unspoken rules of the royal family (three more)
The royal family's secrets are so well hidden that even Ning Xiuyuan is completely unaware of such a past.

According to what he said, now His Majesty is not lustful for women, and there are really not many concubines in the harem. Of course... he has fewer heirs, and he can be regarded as an emperor who is particularly ascetic in history.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that there are always times when you are so young and frivolous. After all, based on the years when the black robe celestial master became famous, he should be a few years older than Li Yuqi.

In this way, it becomes even more weird. It doesn't make sense that this is the eldest son of the royal family, but he is treated like this...

Ning Xiuyuan didn't seem surprised, and explained that he might not be the eldest son.It is far more difficult for the heirs of the royal family to truly grow up than everyone imagined. This celestial master is lucky and survived. Who knows how many of those died in infancy?

After finishing speaking, he smiled again, with a slightly cool smile, and asked Ji Wuyan, "Ordinary children are given names by the elders at the full moon and entered in the family tree, but the prince only has a name when he is three years old. Do you know his intention?"

Ji Wuyan was a little uncertain, and his heart trembled slightly, "Before three years old, it is easy to die young, so...is it even necessary for a name?"

"Well. If a concubine with no status is pregnant, she will usually keep it secret for as long as she can. This is because she is worried about someone's murder. Even if the fetus is born safely, the prince is too young and has no ability to protect himself. It is very easy Died." Ning Xiuyuan poured a cup of tea and handed it over, the weather was getting colder, Ji Wuyan's hands were always cold, so he got used to handing her a cup of hot tea, and then continued, "The royal family actually encourages this This phenomenon... the law of the jungle started from the moment they were not formed, and only those who survived the ups and downs were eligible to participate in the final competition."

The morning wind blows in, bringing a little coolness, and it seems to be swirling around the neck.

Ji Wuyan subconsciously exerted force on the fingertips holding the teacup. How should I describe the coolness rising from the cracks in the bones?After a long while, she murmured, "It's as if... a group of beasts without consciousness and emotions are locked inside... they compete with each other with the most primitive instinct..."

It's like...not human.

Although the Ji family is also a big business, known as the emperor of the south of the Yangtze River, they are simple-minded and love each other.Really glad.

"What do you want to do?" Ning Xiuyuan patted her on the head, chuckled and relieved, "You have never had a chance with that place in your life. Although our Ningguo Mansion has a high position and authority, there are no intrigues. Everyone divides the work. It's very clear that no one will fight fiercely for a certain position... Even if they fight, no one can beat your husband."

"Why is it my husband..." Ji Wuyan's eyes were slightly embarrassed, and she avoided her eyes in embarrassment.

With this interruption, the atmosphere was not as sad as before. She lowered her head and sipped the tea in her hand. After a while, she nodded and concluded, "The imperial palace...is really not a place for people to stay."

"After all, power is deceiving. The scene of standing in a high position and responding to all calls, life and death, makes people's blood spurt just thinking about it."

"It's also..."

The cool breeze is blowing, and it is rare to have a good time in the quiet courtyard. One is holding a teacup and sipping leisurely, while the other is playing chess with herself, while still not forgetting to add some hot tea to her teacup from time to time to even out the temperature .

Ji Wuyan, on the other hand, had to point fingers at Ning Xiuyuan's left and right from time to time, but kept waving her hands at the chess pieces handed over to her—playing chess with Ning Xiuyuan was a painful memory, and she never wanted to experience it again. .

When Ziqiu came in, what he saw was such a gentle scene. The scene was so gentle that Ziqiu, who had just heard the story of "Yesterday's concubine's birthday banquet had twists and turns" from the streets, almost cried with joy... It's so good, everything is fine .

"What's the matter? Stand there stupidly." Ji Wuyan turned her head and called her.

Only then did Ziqiu come to his senses as if he had just woken up, "Oh! Miss Ruoshui is here, and she asked to see you at the door. She said she came to thank the girl for saving her yesterday, and she came to get back the Fuxiqin that I left behind."

Ji Wuyan pointed to the room, "Send it there. You don't have to thank me, just say that I slept late last night and I was still asleep." Ning Xiuyuan was just in the middle of playing chess. It's really unnecessary to come over to say thanks, and then let people go into the house to hide.

What's more, to bring up what happened yesterday, it will inevitably involve her previous "useless exhortations".

Ziqiu sent the piano out with her arms in her arms, but was told that Ruoshui followed the ancient house into the mansion.

Ziqiu has never had a good impression of Ruoshui. The girl has helped her many times, and she just doesn't appreciate it, but she has done bad things... This desire to chase after the ancient house is obvious. It was like this when I lived in the house before, and it is still like this now.

So he handed the fuxiqin directly to the concierge, saying that he had to rush to serve the girl, and asked the concierge to send it to her.

The concierge naturally agreed.

On the other side, it's not the mansion that the ancient house let people enter, it's just a girl's house, looking at you pitifully and aggrieved, with water in her eyes, like an angry little daughter-in-law, she has something to say to you... If Fearing that they would cause trouble if they spoke evil words at each other, they had no choice but to let her go.

After serving tea, I sat in the courtyard with the courtyard door wide open. The usually elegant and dignified man showed a little impatience in his eyes, and said dryly, "Since Miss Ruoshui has something to do, it's okay to say it."

Polite, rusty, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"I..." She lowered her head, biting her lips, she was a bit embarrassed to speak, and after a while, she said in a low voice, "I... I messed up yesterday's banquet."

The ancient house came back from outside, and this matter is now spreading outside, so he naturally heard about it.Hearing this, she showed no expression, and responded lightly, "Yes. But Miss Ruoshui should go and explain this to Chaoyun."

"Me! I explained it to her last night, and I just came to explain it to you..."

"That's not necessary. The matter has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to explain it to me."

"Yes!" Ruoshui looked up anxiously, "Before the banquet, I asked you, you asked me to pick a piano piece that was not wrong or brilliant, but I didn't believe it, so I will prove it to you You see, I can do it! I, I...but I still..." The voice became more and more depressed, even the brows and eyes were lowered, looking at the fingertips resting on his knees, he felt a sense of powerlessness spreading to his limbs ...

"At that time in the hall, I only had one thought... that was, I was worried that you would blame me. Even though you reminded me, I, I didn't listen..."
