Chapter 237

When the carriage stopped in front of Qifeng Palace, it was already completely dark.

Just as Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao got off the carriage, Bi Tao came up to greet him, and said with a blessing, "Your Majesty, Your Highness."

Ever since Zhu Yun and Lan Sha were trained to serve Ning Yuezhao close by, Bitao has concentrated on taking care of the complicated affairs in the palace, so there must be an accident when she came to see her in a hurry.

"Auntie, what's the hurry?"

There was a little anxiety on Bitao's face, but her voice was calm, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, let's go inside the hall before we talk. It's a mess outside."

Ning Yuezhao nodded, and took Jiang Nian's arm into the hall.

Because they don't know when the two will return to the palace, they are afraid that the food will be cold if they cook early, so they ordered to go to the imperial dining room to prepare dinner at this moment.Bitao was able to take advantage of this gap to report the matter to the two of them.

"The 23rd of next month will be the Qianqiu Festival. Today Honglu Temple presented the roster of officials attending the Qianqiu Banquet, but..."

The so-called Qianqiu Festival is the emperor's husband's birthday.Last year, because of the late emperor's death, Jiang Nian's birthday coincided with the late emperor's funeral, so there was no Qianqiu Banquet.

In April of this year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Honglu Temple announced the Qianqiu Festival.At that time, although Ning Yuezhao didn't see her own intentions clearly, she still insisted on organizing this year's Qianqiu Festival.

Jiang Nian always felt that God took a nap to steal his own time.In a mentality similar to that of an old man who does not have a full life span, he has not had a birthday since he was 14 years old.

When Ning Yuezhao enthusiastically mentioned the plans for the Qianqiu Festival, Jiang Nian refused to hold the Qianqiu Festival on the grounds of saving palace expenses.

But Ning Yuezhao insisted, "You have enriched the Ministry of Internal Affairs with so much money, and the burden on the national treasury has been greatly reduced now, why don't you spend some money to celebrate your birthday!"

It's not easy to make her disappointed, Jiang Nian can only stop objecting to this matter.

Seeing that Bitao was hesitant to speak, Ning Yuezhao took the notebook she handed over. It was a long memorial filled with densely packed names, and one name was highlighted separately. Ning Yuezhao read it all at once. out.

"What's the meaning of Honglu Temple! I never ordered King Kangyu to enter the emperor's capital to celebrate the emperor's husband's birthday!"

The single ticked name is none other than Ning Ziyi, the eldest son of King Kangyu Ningheng.

Bitao sighed softly, and just as she was about to speak, Jiang Nian said, "Just now I read the seal before leaving the palace, it was presented by the Minister of Honghe Temple, saying that it was King Kangyu who played a memorial to Honglu Temple and got a piece of paper. A Phoenix tree from Nanyang, 'the leaves are like the feathers of a flying phoenix, the flowers are like the crown of a red phoenix', which means auspiciousness, so I want to present it to celebrate the Qianqiu Festival."

Although King Kangyu is a vassal king, he cannot leave the fief without an edict, otherwise it would be treasonous and disrespectful.Because he had an army in his hands, the late emperor deliberately left a will before his death so that he would not have to leave the fief for the funeral.Now it was only the emperor's birthday, and he couldn't bear to act again.This time he thought of a roundabout way to let his son enter the imperial capital.

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, her eyes filled with coldness, "It's just a tree, how rare it can be, and I'll offer it. Just because Jiangnan is far away from the imperial capital, let him send someone to send a congratulatory gift. Don't bother the world, God is gone."

"No." Jiang Nian shook his head, "It's not an option to avoid him all the time, it's better to see what tricks he is going to play. Since it seems that he is not afraid of killing his eldest son in the imperial capital, we have nothing to fear, let him come. "

Ning Yuezhao looked at him sideways, with hesitation in her eyes, "What if..."

Jiang Nian held her hand lightly, with a smile in his soft eyes, "Haven't we never seen a poinciana before? Since it's so rare, let him take a look."

Previously, Jiang Nian was not interested in the Qianqiu Festival, but now that he is interested, Ning Yuezhao can't bother him anymore, so he won't argue with him anymore.

"Prince Kangyu's son is allowed to attend."

"Yes." After finishing the business, Bitao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Qingchi?"

Bitao and Qingchi have also been together for a long time in the palace. Now that Qingchi is an official of the imperial court and Bitao is busy with palace affairs all day long, the chances of the two seeing each other are greatly reduced, but their concern remains the same.

It took almost an afternoon for the two of them to go out of the palace today, and Bi Tao instinctively felt that something serious happened.

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, "Qingchi's hand is just dislocated, and the imperial doctor has already helped her reset it. It will be fine after half a month of recuperation."

Only then did Bitao feel relieved, but she couldn't help worrying, "Why is this child so miserable? Ever since he took the imperial examination, things have happened one after another."

Jiang Nian raised his lips with a half-smile, "Qingchi's grievances, I will get back for her one by one."

There are always a few jumping clowns who love to jump around, and Jiang Nian is always willing to help these people who are not willing to die.

Seeing Jiang Nian's faint smile, Bi Tao shivered for no reason.

How can it make people feel as cold as ice when it is a smile that is as warm as a spring breeze?

At this time, the imperial dining room had already prepared the dinner, so Bitao had no time to explore the confusion in her heart, so she asked someone to serve Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao for dinner.

After dinner, Fu Liao came to administer acupuncture and medicine to Jiang Nian as usual.

Looking at Fu Liao's frown, Ning Yuezhao couldn't help feeling a little nervous, "How is it?"

Fu Liao glanced at her, and slowly said two words, "It's all right."

Every time she saw Fu Liao showing a dignified expression, Ning Yuezhao couldn't help asking.Fu Liao was able to answer patiently at first, but now he usually dismisses her with two simple words.

"How long will it take for my hand to recover?" Jiang Nian asked calmly with his left hand on his right arm.

Fu Liao took a deep breath, "I have come up with a solution in the past few days, which may help you recover soon!"

"What is the solution?" Jiang Nian's voice was still calm.

"The other injuries on your body are already healed, but the meridians on your right shoulder are a little tricky. I was thinking today, what would happen if you used your true energy every day to open up these meridians?"

He also knew about Jiang Nian's current situation. It was rumored that the imperial husband's martial arts were useless, and it was difficult for him to even write with a pen.Although the situation was far less serious than the rumors, the rumors intensified every day his right arm was bad.Although the two of them are in the same mind now and will not be swayed by outside rumors, but their identities are special, and their mouths make money, sometimes it is inevitable that they cannot help themselves.

After hearing Fu Liao's words, Jiang Nian's starry eyes lit up.Because Fu Liao told him not to use his right arm, he never used force during this time.Although he also thought about practicing swords with his left hand, once he uses foreign kung fu, he will inevitably need to cooperate with his right arm to maintain body balance.But the internal force is different, it only needs to run cross-legged in the body.

"You can give it a try, there is no loss anyway." Jiang Nian's voice was relaxed.

Fu Liao nodded, pointing out his damaged meridians, and the way to move the zhenqi that he had explored during this period.

Jiang Nian listened very seriously. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was also anxious about this matter in his heart.

At this moment, the palace servants came in to report that it was Lu Ji who asked to see him.

Seeing that the matter was almost finished, Fu Liao resigned.

Ning Yuezhao saw that it was getting late, so she sent someone to send the memorial to the study of Qifeng Palace, and she went to review the memorial first.

Looking at the back of her leaving gracefully, Jiang Young smiled and shook his head.

After entering the hall in response to the imperial edict, Lu Ji lifted his robe and knelt down, "My minister sees the emperor."

"Be flat."

Jiang Nian took a closer look at Lu Ji, and saw that he had already swept away the haze in the Library Pavilion just now, and there was a little smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

"It's rare that you figured it out so quickly." Jiang Nian's voice was flat with a hint of approval.

Lu Jijun blushed slightly, "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me. If you hadn't persevered back then, how could you be as close as you are now with Your Majesty?"

Jiang Nian smiled, his eyes full of complacency that was too late to hide, "Tell me about what you found in Zangshu Pavilion today."

"The ladder was tampered with!" Lu Ji knew that Jiang Nian intended to test himself, so he said very firmly, "The thief's method is very subtle, and some white wax oil was dripped on the wooden ladder."

Jiang Nian's smile remained unchanged, "Not bad."

Lu Ji is now a veritable governor of Shuntian Prefecture, so he began to focus on punishment and punishment, and his primary ability is to discern the details.

"Before entering the palace, I have already told Mr. Zhou to seal up the Library Pavilion, and the contents inside must not be moved."

Jiang Nian nodded approvingly, "You did a good job."

Lu Ji sighed softly and shook his head, "The minister is incompetent, the thief is too cunning, he just estimated how many wooden ladders Qingchi would have to climb to reach those books, a small drop of wax oil will not attract Qingchi's attention, and because When Qingchi slipped, almost all the wax on the wooden ladder was scraped off."

It was Lu Ji who found some extremely small, white powdery congealed things on the ground around the wooden ladder. After careful inspection, he found that it was wax oil.

"If you don't observe carefully, you won't pay attention to the white wax oil on the wooden ladder. Moreover, the library is not a forbidden place, and there is no registration for entry and exit. It is difficult to find out who tampered with the ladder in a short time."

Jiang Nian said softly: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. It's just that Qingchi wrote for me, and I was hated by some people. It's not the first time this kind of thing happened."

Lu Ji frowned, "Could it be that Xu Miaoyun again?"

In the last Chunwei fraud case, that Liu Ying was probably framed by Xu Miaoyun, but Liu's father and daughter chose to commit suicide, and they did not have any evidence to identify the Xu family.

According to Xu Miaoyun's temperament, she definitely wouldn't let it go.

Lu Ji recalled the scene at that time, his voice suddenly turned cold, "It's not Xu Miaoyun, it's that Feng Shiyang!"

"No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't escape the hunter." Jiang Nian still looked like an old god.

When Ning Yuezhao left the hall just now, he did not go to the study immediately, but caught up with Fu Liao.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Fu Liao felt a little uneasy when he saw that she waved away others and came to chase him alone.

"Zhen..." Ning Yuezhao blushed, and said hesitantly, "During the past six months, my husband and I have been sleeping almost every night, why haven't we conceived yet?"
