Fortunate Young Gentleman

"How many?"

Tang Ning was stunned and said quickly: "One, one is enough..."

Tang Yu took another bracelet and said: "If it's not enough, just tell me, mother has more here."

"Enough, enough." It was just an accident just now. Why would Tang Ning give bracelets to others? This kind of gift is of great significance. Generally speaking, it is a token of love from a man to a woman, or a heirloom from a mother-in-law to a daughter-in-law...

He put away the bracelet and sat in the yard for a while. It was getting late.

After coming out of the yard, he turned his head to look at Su Mei and asked: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Su Mei looked at him and asked: "Do you think about sleeping every time you see me?"

Tang Ning shook his head and said: "It's just a habit. You are not used to not sleeping."

Su Mei looked at the bracelet on her hand again and said: "I'm not sleepy now."

He came to the front yard and found that the old woman was standing in the yard. After looking at him, she turned around and walked out.

Tang Ning walked into the room, looked at Su Mei and asked, "I offended your master last time, will she leak what happened here?"

Su Mei waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, you just need to take care of the outside, I'm here, nothing will happen."

Tang Ning trusted her 100%, and after hearing her words, he dispelled the last bit of doubt. Su Mei sat down beside the bed and said, "Although there was not much shock in the court during your absence, there were some changes. Now that you are back, you have to understand it."

She had a very accurate control of the court situation, and knew a lot of court secrets that even Tang Ning didn't know. The secret intelligence network was unknown. When Su Mei was talking, Tang Ning sat beside her and listened carefully.

There is a big difference between the courts of Chen and Chu. Although Chu has become increasingly powerful in recent years, the structure of the court is not reasonable. A seriously ill emperor, an incompetent prince, and a strong regent. This structure is extremely unstable. The consequence is that after the death of the Chu emperor, the prince was abolished. During the process of Prince Xin ascending the throne, the entire Chu state experienced considerable turmoil.

However, after the turmoil, with his reputation and ability, Chu is about to usher in a stable development period.

Chen State has no problem of unstable court at all. The Emperor Chen is in his prime and has not appointed a prince. Although the contradictions between Prince Kang and Prince Duan are not small, they are kept within a controllable range by the Emperor Chen. Both of them have experienced ups and downs. After half a year of precipitation, they have become evenly matched again, and no one has obviously won over the other.

On the contrary, Prince Huai, who has always had a low sense of presence, has appeared in the eyes of the public many times in the past six months.

Perhaps Emperor Chen was disappointed with Prince Duan and Prince Kang, so he intentionally supported Prince Huai, who had no background, and entrusted him with several unimportant tasks. Prince Huai handled these tasks properly. Although there was no big highlight, there was no omission.

However, compared with Prince Duan and Prince Kang, Prince Huai has never been competitive. Even if he has no good reputation, he has no negative comments. In recent days, through these things, he has gained some praise.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable. No one knows whether Emperor Chen did it intentionally or wanted to suppress Prince Duan and Prince Kang, but this move still played a deterrent role, making Prince Duan and Prince Kang honest for a long time.

After Su Mei finished speaking, she looked at him and said, "The court situation is changeable. Don't stand on the side before the situation is completely clear."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "I understand."

Emperor Chen is not dead yet, and there is no sign of death. At this time, those who stand on the side early are generally regarded as thorns in the eyes of the other forces and will not have a good end.

The Tang family and some dignitaries are just because the labels on them are too obvious, there is nothing they can do.

He can't stand on the side of Prince Duan, so he can only use Prince Kang to make use of each other.

Su Mei was silent for a while before saying: "However, many people in the court now think that you have been recruited by Prince Kang. If you don't like Prince Duan, you can get closer to Prince Huai appropriately, and you can also shut some people up..."

Speaking of shutting up some people, Tang Ning missed the kiss with Lan Lan, and his thoughts flew to the grove outside Cangzhou City.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Mei still had a lingering smile on her face. She tapped his forehead and asked, "What are you thinking about!"

"Nothing." Tang Ning immediately retracted his thoughts, shook his head, and said, "I'm not familiar with King Huai. If I approach him without reason, he might think I have some intentions. Let's forget it..."

Su Mei looked at him and said, "Forget it, it's getting late. You should go back to accompany your wife. You're distracted here anyway..."

Tang Ning looked at the sky, stood up, and asked, "Do you really not need me to coax you to sleep first?"

Su Mei waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go..."

Not long after Tang Ning left, the old woman came in from outside, looked at Su Mei, and asked: "There is actually someone in this world who has been with you for so long, and can still not have any evil thoughts?"

Su Mei leaned against the head of the bed and said lazily: "Being born with a charming body is not invincible. You can't conquer everyone with just a face."

The old woman said again: "If he doesn't want you, what else can he want from you?"

Su Mei looked at her and asked: "Why can't I want him?"

...

Tang Ning thought about Su Mei's suggestion to keep in touch with King Huai appropriately, and decided to forget it.

He rarely makes friends with purpose. To be a friend, you must at least have a similar temperament and be comfortable with someone, such as Xiao Jue.

In fact, their temperaments are quite different, and their situations are also different. He already has two lovely wives, while Xiao Jue is still an older single who can't find a girlfriend.

Xiao Jue originally came here today to go out for a drink with him, but Tang Ning felt that the weather was cold recently and it would be better to go out for a drink than at home, around the small stove, eating hot pot and drinking wine. If it was snowing, the atmosphere would be even better. .

In fact, Xiao Jue and Tang Ning were the same, they didn't have many friends. Perhaps this was why the two of them were able to chat together.

Lao Zheng had already gone to buy meat to prepare for the evening. Xiao Jue sat across from Tang Ning and said, "Do you know why I can become friends with you?"

Tangning said casually: "Why?"

"Because we were the same before." Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "Now we are the same again..."

The more people lack something, the more they like to show off. Xiao Jue can now be called an upright man, and he never forgets to show off.

Tangning looked at Xiao Ru Xiaoyi and Zhao Man who were chatting harmoniously not far away, looked at Xiao Jue, shook her head and said, "We are different..."

Xiao Jue looked back, with a shocked expression on his face. He looked at him and asked: "Although you are handsome, I am not bad either. You are the first on the A list, and I am the second on the A list. It's so different, I just can't figure out why..."

"Why is no one in the capital willing to marry you?"

Xiao Jue nodded.

As an older leftover man, Xiao Jue is obviously eager to transform into a real man. Unfortunately, he can't announce this to the whole capital. The rumors that spread are too water to be recovered...

What's more, this is not a rumor at all.

He looked at Tangning and asked, "Why do so many women like you? Do you have any tricks?"

"My young father-in-law is here too."

There was a voice next to her. Tangning turned her head and saw Princess Anyang and Zhao Man walking over.

After greeting each other, Princess Anyang looked at Xiao Jue and said, "Tonight I am hosting a banquet at Tianranju, and I have invited many ladies and daughters. Do you want to come with me?"

Princess Anyang is very popular among the younger generation in the capital. Tang Ning thinks that a big reason is that she often holds such banquets, giving these young men and women enough opportunities to get to know each other. If one of them accidentally falls in love with each other, it is easy It can lead to a marriage.

The relationship between Xiao Jue and Princess Anyang has always been good. Obviously, as the biggest matchmaker in the capital, she is already paving the way for Xiao Jue's lifelong events.

Xiao Jue looked at her, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but I won't go to the banquet tonight."

Princess Anyang looked at him and said in surprise: "Are you busy tonight?"

Xiao Jue nodded, pointed at Tang Ning and said, "I want to drink with him tonight..."
