Ping An Biography

Zhang Ning asked casually why Princess Luocheng was in the North Palace before he understood.During the few months when he went to Jiujiang, Yao Ji found a reason to take him here to be raised. "His parents are not here, and she is a girl, so it is not appropriate for her to be raised by her imperial grandfather. (Grandmother Empress Ma is in the cold palace), so I will send someone to take care of her."

Zhang Ning let out an "oh" and thought to himself: Fortunately, Wen Kui's descendant is a girl, otherwise he would have lived to this day?In the Tang Dynasty, Princess Taiping was still Xuanzong's aunt, and her children and grandchildren were all killed when she fell during the battle.

The systems of the Ming Dynasty and the Han and Tang Dynasties were very different. It was very difficult for royal women to get involved in politics. Even if Zhu Nanping recruited a son-in-law in the future, they would not be able to participate in major events, so the threat was almost negligible.But when Zhu Nanping came to Yao Ji's side, he suspected that it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair.Zhang Ning felt a little bit of sympathy in his heart. After all, no matter how distant he was, he could barely be considered his niece. There was only one girl in the third generation of Jianwen's lineage... Whether the second son of Jianwen who was imprisoned in Fengyang had any descendants was unknown. very clear.

Just after breakfast, Zhu Nanping was called to Yao Ji's room.When Zhang Ning heard the servant's report, he immediately turned to look at her curiously.This is the first meeting.

This is a girl who is only eleven or twelve years old, her height is close to that of an adult, and her immature figure is very thin, but at a glance, she can tell that she will be a slim girl, with a well-proportioned body, especially a well-developed neck.But she kept her head buried and said nothing, it didn't seem like the upbringing that a royal and aristocratic female family should have. She didn't even have half a courtesy when she met the elders, even a girl from a wealthy family should not be like this.

Her hair was also combed in a strange way, parted in the middle and rolled up on both sides, but her temples were deliberately long so that her side face was blocked, she looked like she had just woken up from a disheveled sleep.The popular hairstyles for women in this era are either rolled up or rolled up, and the entire face including the forehead is exposed. There are almost no long bangs and diagonally spread styles that completely cover the forehead and eyebrows as in modern times.

Zhu Nanping was wearing a light yellow jacket and skirt, the jacket was not tied into the skirt, and it was a little crooked, giving him a lazy look.But the person who served her was probably at fault, no one would take her too seriously now.

Sure enough, Yao Ji was very upset when she saw her, and her face became serious all of a sudden.Seeing this, a woman next to her hurriedly persuaded her: "The princess's uncle won a big victory in the front, and the whole country is celebrating. Hundreds of people have been invited to the banquet in the palace today. The family members of the relatives, relatives, ministers and generals of Wuchang are all coming. , The princess is the eldest granddaughter of the emperor, how can she not go? Quickly admit your mistake to Madam and go dress up."

Zhu Nanping finally spoke, and whispered, "It's the same with me or without me."

Yao Ji suddenly got angry and said, "What are you talking about?" When she got angry, the people next to her hurriedly bent down.It is rare to see Yao Ji angry, because everyone is careful and courteous in front of her.

Unexpectedly, the little girl standing at the door raised her head boldly, the sideburns that covered her side face slid away, and her cheeks were finally exposed.Because the skin of the face and neck is very white, the shallow scars from the cheekbones to the cheeks are clearly visible, and at first glance they look a bit like freckles.Her eyes are bright and energetic, which seems to be different from what a simple and lovely girl of this age expresses.

"It's not that Ma'am doesn't know what to 'force' me to do?" Zhu Nanping's voice was a little rough.At first, Zhang Ning thought she was a timid girl who was shy and timid, but in fact she seemed quite courageous, and she had never seen such a stubborn person in front of Yao Ji in the palace.After she finished speaking, she also noticed Zhang Ning who was standing beside her, and took a cold look. It is true that there are not many men in the deep palace.

Eleven or twelve-year-old minds should also understand that Zhu Nanping is hostile to Yao Ji, but she is still ignorant after all, and the situation of this matter still allows her a little room for resistance?

Just as Yao Ji was about to have a seizure, Zhang Ning came up and said, "I'll take her to see Zhou Zhouniang and ask Erniang to persuade her. If she really doesn't want to, there's no need to force her."

"Forget it. There are always some people who don't know how to flatter you." Yao Ji said coldly.Zhang Ning moved closer, and whispered, "What are you and her fussing about? What is the need now?" Yao Ji's anger was mostly extinguished with one sentence.

Zhang Ning walked towards the door: "I am your uncle, King Xiang, you should know. Come with me, I happen to be going back too."

Zhu Nanping buried his head and ignored him.After Zhang Ning said goodbye to Yao Ji, he walked out, and she finally followed her quietly, without saying hello when she left.

Two people, one "old" and one young, kept a distance from each other, and walked along the corridor without saying a word. Zhang Ning was still wearing yesterday's military uniform, and the saber at his waist jingled softly against the gold ornaments.Zhang Ning is 27 years old and has an heir, which is nothing in modern society, but it is indeed a pity in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty.He felt that there seemed to be some kind of bond between Zhu Nanping and himself, rather than a stranger whom he met for the first time... But that was all, Zhu Wenkui was not ordered to be killed by him, and Queen Ma was not for him to take revenge, but After all, it can't get rid of the relationship.

After walking for a while, Zhang Ning had nothing to say and said, "You are actually quite beautiful, so you don't need to hide from people."

There was a sneer like a cut from behind, Zhang Ning stopped, turned around and said gently: "There are many girls in the world who are less fortunate than you, and some are born deaf and dumb, or disabled and unable to walk. Even if the facial features Limbs and limbs are good, how can a little girl from a common people's house open her mouth and stretch out her hands, is it not normal to work with adults in the sun and rain, what's the matter if you scrape and burn it? I haven't seen them hiding in the house People... oh, there is such a thing, there are particularly poor places, girls don't wear pants, so they can only stay at home and not come out."

Zhu Nanping didn't pay attention and was teased to laugh: "How can a girl not wear pants, you must be making it up!"

Zhang Ning said solemnly: "Why am I making up nonsense? This kind of thing really happens. My family is too poor and doesn't have so much fabric to make pants. There is no way. So we are already very lucky, we should be content. Let's go." He smiled as he spoke. Then he touched her cheek casually.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Nanping took the initiative to speak: "I have known King Xiang for a long time, and I thought you were a murderous and vicious person."

"I do kill people like hemp, but I don't want to." Zhang Ning said. [

They talked for a while, and soon arrived at Tuesday's mother's residence.On Tuesday, Niang greeted her at the gate. After meeting Zhu Nanping, she had no choice but to hold back some unsuitable words, came up and bowed her knees in a dignified salute, and then asked, "Why is the princess with the prince?"

Zhang Ning said: "I'm going to attend the palace banquet, you dress her up and take her with you."

Tuesday Niang suddenly smiled, and stretched out her hand to greet Zhu Nanping.The two of them stood together, not much difference in height, they looked like sisters for a while, Tuesday's mother was only in her teens, and she was pretty and young, so she really didn't look like an aunt.

Although there are "outsiders" there, Mother on Tuesday couldn't help but ask Zhang Ning where she spent the night when she just came back yesterday, and Zhang Ning told the truth that she fell asleep sitting up in the concubine's room.He asked again, if it wasn't for Zhu Nanping, he might have said something nasty... Considering Zhou Mengxiong, Zhang Ning subconsciously made himself more fond of his wife.

Of course, the most important thing is to get Mother on Tuesday to conceive a child, preferably the eldest son of a male Ding, so that Zhou Mengxiong can better integrate with himself, and life and death are at stake.
