Fair Lady

Shuyao led the excited Fourth Princess and Princess Yue to Mingyue Garden, but she was full of thoughts.

When she was about to turn around and leave just now, she glanced at that Shizi Ning. She didn't know if he recognized her. She was hiding behind the branches and leaves at that time, and she was at a high place, so she shouldn't be able to see clearly, right?

Shuyao really didn't want to get involved with those complicated grievances in the backyard. At that time, she would rescue Qi Haoning, just because she knew that Black Eagle was not a good person, and she had an excellent lurking position and it was easy to make a move.

She didn't tell her elder brother about it, she was worried about being scolded. After all, Black Eagle is a well-known vicious killer in the world, a careless and very dangerous one.

Ning Shizi seemed to see the doubt in her eyes, put his index finger on his lips at the angle of turning his back on other people, looked at her with a half-smile, then quickly put down his index finger, and gave a "cough", as if it was just a natural He blocked his cough with his fist.

She blinked...

Does this mean that the two agreed to keep each other secret?

That's right, she was concentrating on aligning her head that day and didn't hear what Heiying said clearly, but she still heard something like "side concubine", which meant that it was a side concubine in their house who wanted to kill Prince Ning?

Now that there is no proof of death, he can't do anything about that side concubine, so naturally he can't startle the snake, he also hopes that the matter will not be made public, right?

Thinking of this, Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time lamented that these rich and powerful families are glamorous on the outside, but on the inside they are... No wonder Princess Yue was raised in the Palace of Compassionate Ning since she was a child.

In the study, Qi Haoning took out the scroll, Shujie carefully picked out the sealing wax, and opened the note.Sure enough, it was Jin Xida's handwriting, and the content was still simple: Congratulations Jie'er, everything is well, I have a surprise for you when I return to Beijing, adoptive father.

Shujie smiled: "The adoptive father should be far away now, right? When I brought the letter, let alone twenty to thirty days ago, I knew that I had passed the exam? The foster father is really..." I have too much confidence in him right?

Qi Haoning also said with a smile: "Where is it on the [-]th or [-]th? I went out of Beijing with Uncle Jin a few years ago. At that time, he was very proud and said that you must be named on the gold list. Maybe you can enter the top three in both civil and military affairs." Haha, it turns out that Brother Xia, you are more powerful than Uncle Jin expected."

Shujie smiled humbly: "Senior Ning is admirable, thank you for bringing us the letter, the adoptive father went so far alone, it is really worrying." Although Jin Xida must report good news but not bad news.But a letter came back saying it was safe.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Yong Jin knocked on the door outside: "Young Master, Young Master Yu has arrived.

Shu Jie happily introduced to Qi Haoning: "It is true that he is the second place in both civil and military subjects, and he is also bold. He is only 17 years old. Ning Shizi, let me introduce you to each other."

After chatting with Qi Haoning for a while, Shujie realized how much he looked like Yu Zhengran.It's the eyes, and the aura between the eyebrows.Especially when not smiling.

"Okay, yesterday the emperor was still saying that the talents entering the list this time, especially the top three, are better than the previous ones. Let me ask you for advice." Qi Haoning is kind and good. The emperor and his father really asked him to work with these talents more. Make friends, saying that he was taught to be withdrawn by Zhao side concubine before.The empress dowager and the emperor have said these words before, but he always believed what Concubine Zhao said, "You are still young. You have a noble status, and the prince is not in the capital. It is better to avoid dealing with those people. Wait for the prince It’s not too late to take you out to socialize when you’re back. You must put on airs to those servants and palace servants, and don’t make people think that you are easy to deceive.”

However, on that day, when he suddenly returned to the capital, he happened to hear that concubine Zhao was teaching his third younger brother Qi Haoxiang: "In the ethnology, you should communicate with your classmates more, and when you enter the palace with your second brother, treat your imperial grandmother, the emperor's mother, and the emperor." The people around Uncle must be kind, to make them like you, to think that you are easy to get along with, and not to give people an image of aloofness."

When the two of Shujie arrived at the banquet hall, most of the guests had arrived, and the Shinke Scholars were gathering around several examiners to listen to their instructions and experiences.Seeing the two of them coming in, they had to salute Qi Haoning.

Qi Haoning waved his hand to stop him: "Don't be too polite! I'm also the guest who came to congratulate you today. You are the protagonists, the civil and military talents that the emperor's uncle valued. The emperor's uncle asked me to take the martial arts exam in three years. It seems that you are asking for advice today." experience."

All Jinshi hurriedly clasped their fists and said: "Young Master Ning, you are welcome, everyone learn from each other."

The current civil and military examiners present here, the left and right prime ministers, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Lord Niu, and the Tang University scholar all nodded secretly: They all said that Prince Yong's son has an aloof personality. It seems that he is just young and easily shy. After traveling to the southwest, he grew up quickly, and Prince Yong was still very good at fighting, and he taught his son to do better.

Yu Zhengran has been looking at Qi Haoning since he came in, and he doesn't know why, but he just feels kind, and feels a different feeling surging in his blood.

It was a strange feeling, but it made him feel good.What's even more strange is that he also felt this way a few days ago.

When I came out of the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace that day, I met the Fourth Princess and Princess Yue happily chasing after her. Princess Yue didn't pay attention to her feet, stepped on a pebble, and rushed forward...

He didn't even think about it at the time, Fei stepped forward and grabbed the little girl, checking her nervously to see if she was hurt like never before.

Princess Yue smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you, big brother."

At that time, he only felt that his heart was about to melt, and he still despised himself. Could it be that he likes little girls all the time?However, the feeling towards Princess Yue seems to be very different from the feeling towards Little Fairy, that kind of feeling can't be put into words...

Unexpectedly, seeing Princess Yue's elder brother, Prince Yong's son, today, he felt the same feeling again.What special magical powers do these brothers and sisters possess?Their father is his worst enemy, he should have hated them!

Perhaps feeling the "enthusiastic" gaze, Qi Haoning's gaze also went up to meet him, but he didn't recognize him, but, uh, this person has a pair of red phoenix eyes that are very similar to Yue'er!

Shujie also noticed the eye contact between the two, and led Qi Haoning to Yu Zhengran's side, and introduced, "Shizi Ning, he is the Yu Zhengran we mentioned just now."

Qi Haoning was very happy: "Brother Yu, Brother Xia said that you also use swords, and you are also good at using double swords. Can you guide me in the future?"

Yu Zhengran almost blurted out: "Of course." Then he was startled, he was frightened by his "enthusiasm".what happened to him?Are you ready to use this Ning Shizi in your heart? "As long as Ning Shizi likes it, I am willing to discuss with you."

"Okay." After all, Qi Haoning was only a boy who had just turned 15 years old, and said excitedly, "That's great, my father said that my swordsmanship is more than strong, but not charming enough. Brother Yu, you need to give me your opinion."

Yu Zhengran still replied directly without thinking: "Okay, I'll take a look when the time comes. The most important thing in practicing swordsmanship is to be in the same mind, so that the sword can be used at will. That is, the unity of human and sword. However, you are young. There is one reason." Although he himself had reached a certain level of swordplay when he was [-] or [-] years old, what's the difference?He is a person with a special mission, and he has been practicing swords every day since he was three years old.

Shujie was also very happy to see the two of them talking happily. On the way here, he had a feeling.Ning Shizi and Yu Zhengran must get along well.

Glancing at Zhen Dagui and Zhen Kebao who looked uncomfortable in the corner, Shujie patted Yu Zhengran on the shoulder, "You guys talk, I'll go over there and have a look."

No matter what, Zhen Dagui was a guest invited by their post, and he was the nominal uncle of Yao'er and Wen'er, and they had been in contact with each other for the past two years.

Entered the summer house.Tang and Zhen Kemin went to the inner courtyard, and Zhen Keyu also went to look for Shuwen.And Li Jingui, who came with him, had already gone to greet and talk with the Jinshi he knew, so he didn't care about Zhen Dagui and Zhen Kebao.

The Zhen family is also considered a wealthy family, and often holds banquets in Daming Prefecture, and occasionally invites some local officials, so it cannot be said that they are ignorant.

However, there are only two kinds of guests in the summer house today, one is Xinke Scholars, and the other is extremely wealthy people.What kind of princes, generals, princes, university scholars... just pick one out and they are all big shots. How can small merchants like them dare to cling to them?

Zhen Kebao didn't dare to say anything at all.This battle was much more powerful than the last time when Zhen Zirou’s anniversary ceremony was held in Xia Zhai in Yulin County. Squinting eyes are stingy to give them father and son.Moreover, he sincerely believed that it would be better for him to follow Zhen Dagui, and he must not let people know that he belonged to the eldest son of the Zhen family and came from the Zhen residence in the famous prefecture city.

Zhen Kebao sighed secretly, in the capital, now, let alone the three brothers and sisters of Shujie, he felt that he had become so unbearable in front of them.As if they were in the clouds and he in the mud.His wife was right, he was out of his mind, so he followed his grandmother and parents to be self-righteous.If they had established a good relationship with the three brothers and sisters of Shujie early in the morning, how could their Zhen family be rich and proud now?

Look at the second uncle's house, many guests came to visit them only when they saw that they were close to Xia's house.A while ago, Zhen Kemin's marriage was also settled, and it turned out that Mrs. Weiyuan Hou set up the match, and she was the bastard son of a fifth-rank official family.Although he is a concubine, there are only two sons in that mansion, one concubine and one concubine, and the relationship between the two brothers is very good.The concubine's aunt went there very early, and she was brought up and educated by the principal's side since she was a child, and she was also a promising one.

Although Zhen Dagui is not at ease, but maybe he has lived in the capital for a long time. Occasionally, there will be important customers in his embroidery workshop, and he will also need to deliver goods to some palace or marquis. He is not as exaggerated as Zhen Kebao.What is the most in Beijing?Most officials.

Zhen Dagui even thought it was a bit ridiculous: Eldest Brother Yifang usually has an arrogant "big family" posture, but when he comes to a bigger scene or meets a bigger official, he becomes extremely timid.Otherwise, when Yen Zirou and Murong Ziye made peace back then, they wouldn't be so frightened that they would immediately announce that they would sever ties with Yen Zirou.

At that time, he really felt ashamed, the Zhen family was incapable of protecting the girl, so how could he sprinkle salt on her wound?It's a pity that the Zhen family didn't have his turn to speak.

What he could do was to ignore the warnings of his parents and Zhen Dafu, sneak to the Murong Mansion, and bring back Zhen Zirou as his natal brother. He didn't want his sister to be bullied, and to be alone under the mocking eyes of a group of onlookers Come out from Murong Mansion. (To be continued.
