The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 21
The breeze is blowing, the flowers are in full bloom, and a round of bright moon hangs quietly in the sky, adding some dreamy mood to such a night.The carved carriage of Jing'an Prince's Mansion galloped past the streets of the imperial capital. On the carriage, tassels made of silk threads swayed endlessly, and a faint fragrance filled the way.

No one knows what Ning Yan was thinking when she walked into the Fengnan Dynasty's palace from Guang'anmen.

The avenue of the palace is paved with granite, with jade pillars and railings on both sides of the avenue. It is the season of peonies in full bloom. Pots of exquisitely blooming peonies are clustered on both sides of the avenue, which is extremely beautiful.Palace lanterns one after another extended on both sides of the avenue, and the entire palace was lit by such lights, bright and dark, exuding the honor and luxury that belonged exclusively to the emperor.

And on such a road, among such peonies, Ning Yan followed behind Nangong Jin and walked towards the imperial garden step by step.He is dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, with a golden crown and hair, and his appearance is imposing. Even the back view has a deterrent power.

Along the way, he was just silent.

Ning Yan has no idea what the reason for coming to this palace banquet is.As for the current emperor Nan Gonghuan, how would he react when he saw her, the so-called daughter of a criminal subject, Ning Yan didn't even know.

However, she likes to gamble.

If she wins, she can be the Princess Jing'an she wants to be.

If you lose, you will die.

A smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth, but unfortunately, he was seen by Nangong Jin who turned around. He snorted coldly and asked, "So happy?"

It is said that a young lady who does not go out of the door and does not step out of the second door, now she just shows her face and enters the imperial capital and lives in Jing'an Palace. Now she has entered the unfathomable and unfathomable Fengnan Dynasty Palace where ordinary people tremble when they hear this word. Can you laugh so inappropriately?

Ning Yan seemed to understand the meaning of Nangong Jin's words, she smiled slightly, "With the prince by my side, Yan'er is naturally happy."

Nangong Jin was taken aback again, this woman seemed to know how to stop him.

Walking forward with a sullen face, he came to the imperial garden.

The imperial garden is built along the water, and the night is beautiful, and the bonfire in the garden shines like daytime.A long red carpet is laid in the garden, and dozens of low tables are placed on both sides of the red carpet in an orderly manner. The tables are filled with delicious delicacies and fine wines...

Seeing Nangong Jin coming, all civil and military officials stood up from the table and saluted, "See you, my lord!"

Even Shen Haoyue, who usually had a close relationship with Nangong Jin, stood up and bowed his hands on such an occasion.

However, Nangong Huan, who was sitting in a high position, was still cynical, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, looking at Nangong Jin with evil eyes: "Young Brother, you are late today."

Nangong Jin didn't give any explanation, just bowed and said: "Long live my emperor!"

Standing in the light, Ning Yan looked at the silver-haired man. He is the emperor of Feng Nanchao?He is so young, so casual and lazy, it seems that apart from the beauties on both sides and the fine wine on the table, everything can't catch his eyes, and this kind of person is the emperor of Fengnan Dynasty who sent troops to break Nuoping City?
Ning Yan was a little fussy and forgot to bow down for a moment.

Nangonghuan tilted her head slightly, and asked with a smile, "Are you Ning Ningyan?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.All eyes are focused on Ning Yan, she is wearing a plum red brocade robe, with a slender waist tied up, and she can't hold it tightly.A head of black hair was gently tied behind her head, fixed with a pearl, and fell down from the top of her head. When the breeze blew, her whole body was like an ink painting, simple, elegant and natural, which was pleasing to the eye.

"As expected of being the number one beauty in the Fengnan Dynasty according to the rumors, she truly lives up to her reputation!"

"That's right, the female relatives we brought today were all carefully selected in the mansion, and some even spent money to buy girls to bring them outside in order to grab the limelight, but these women are comparable to Miss Leng. , really... oh..."

Everyone present sighed.

Ning Ningyan was calm, she saluted gracefully, and said: "Minister Ning Yan kowtows to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Nangong Huan stared at the woman lying on the ground, the daughter of a treasonous official, facing the current emperor, she was so calm and unhurried, without any anxiety...

He raised his hand slightly, and smiled casually: "Miss Leng, excuse me." His eyes swept away, and he said to the eunuch beside him: "Give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Yan stood up and looked at Nangong Jin.

And Nangong Jin didn't seem to take Ning Yan to heart, he sat on the soft chair calmly, his eyes were a little careless.On the seat next to him was General Changning Shen Haoyue, he was still the same, refined and unrestrained, Lan'er sat beside him and leaned back, looking at Ning Yan.

She nodded with a smile, that smile was gentle and gentle, just like the big sister next door.

Ning Ningyan felt a little close to Lan'er in her heart, so she sat on the side close to Lan'er. In this way, Nangong Jin and Chen Haoyue were completely separated by Ning Ningyan and Lan'er.

Nangong Huan straightened her body, and said with a smile: "Today's dinner, I want to shorten the distance between the monarch and his subjects, so you don't have to be cautious, the most important thing is to be happy."

"The emperor is sympathetic to my subjects, and I will always be grateful." Prime Minister Liu stood up and said with a salute.

Ning Ningyan approached Nangong Jin and asked, "This one is the prime minister of Feng Nanchao, Liu Wenshuang? I didn't expect to be so young..." I thought that a person who can be a prime minister should have a 50 even if he is not old and wrinkled. However, this Liu Wenshuang did not seem to be more than 30 years old, but his eyes were calm and cunning, which was not to be underestimated.

Nangong Jin snorted coldly, and said, "Even you know his name? It seems that flattery isn't bad."

Condensing Yan pursed her lips and smiled slightly, gently picked up the jug, and poured a full glass of wine for Nangong Jin.

Then Liu Wenshuang continued: "Your Majesty, although the humble minister is not talented, but the concubine Su Shi was once popular in the entire imperial capital. Today, you might as well let Su Shi attract others first. If you can win the emperor's smile, it will be worth it."

Nangong Huan smiled lightly, opened the folding fan gracefully in her hand, shook the fan, and said, "Okay."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the woman next to Liu Wenshuang. Although she was nearly thirty years old, she was still quite pretty. She was dressed in a goose yellow silk robe and stood up. After blessing her body, she left her seat and walked to the center , and said in a clear voice: "The concubine has made a fool of herself."

Nangong Huan did not answer, but nodded lightly.

Lan'er touched Ning Ningyan's arm, and said softly: "This Su family is best at Kunqu opera, and the timbre and singing are extremely beautiful. Miss Leng, please listen to it."

"Kunqu opera?" Ning Yan was slightly taken aback, as if she didn't understand why.

Lan'er was even more stunned, and then smiled, "Look at me, I forgot that Miss Leng has never been out of the boudoir, how would she know about this pear garden business? Come, Lan'er, please accompany Miss Leng."

As she spoke, Lan'er picked up the jade cup and drank it all in one gulp. Although she looked like a weak woman, she had an innate boldness in her bones.It's just that after being by Shen Haoyue's side for a long time, she may have forgotten what kind of temperament she was and what kind of life she lived before meeting Shen Haoyue...
