Fortunate Young Gentleman

Princess Anyang wore Xiaoru's clothes for no other reason than Qing'er and Xiu'er were playing in the water and accidentally splashed her clothes.

She and Xiaoru had similar body shapes, so Xiaoru took one of her own clothes for her to change into, which led to the misunderstanding.

Tangning let go of her wrist and apologized for the mistake, saying, "Sorry, I mistook the princess for Xiaoru..."

Princess Anyang was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She knew Tangning didn't mean it, but she was indeed flirted with. If it were someone else, they would have paid a heavy price by now, but the person in front of her was of a different identity and it was impossible to punish him...

She waved her hand in annoyance and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving. I'll have someone send Xiaoru's clothes to her later."

Tangning shook his head. He couldn't blame Princess Anyang for wearing Xiaoru's clothes. He just blamed him for being reckless. Although their body shapes were similar, if you looked closely, you could still tell the difference.

"Sister Anyang, I have dried your clothes for you..." Su Ru walked out of the inner courtyard and saw that only Tang Ning was standing in the courtyard. She was surprised and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, where is the princess?"

"She went back first because of something." Tang Ning looked at the clothes in her hand and said, "The people from the princess's mansion will come over later. Let Qing'er give the clothes to them."

Su Ru nodded and said, "I'll go to the gatehouse to inform them..."

Tang Ning took the clothes from Su Ru's hand, held her in his arms, and said, "Let the maids do these things. Even if she is a princess, you shouldn't serve her..."

Su Ru leaned quietly in his arms and said embarrassedly, "I used to do it before. Now I feel uncomfortable all over my body when I'm free..."

Su Ru and Tang Yaoyao are different. She was not born in an official family, not a rich girl, and not like Zhao Man and Li Tianlan, who were born in the royal family and had endless wealth and glory since childhood.

Accustomed to the hard life, she learned to wash clothes and cook since she was a child. She has been with Tang Ning and taken care of his daily life for more than ten years. Even now, she does many things that should be done by the maids herself, and never asks others to do it.

Most of the time, Tang Ning reads books or writes memorials in the study, and she quietly waits by his side to serve tea or just sits aside and watches quietly.

For her, accustomed to the hard life, this kind of rich life will be a bit constrained and uncomfortable. She has not adapted to it in two years, and she is afraid that she will not adapt to it in the future.

Tang Ning hopes that she can enjoy happiness, but does not want to constrain her. It is better to leave it to her to choose.

He gently stroked her hair and said, "Then it's up to you, as long as you like it..."

In the rare leisure time, she spent a few moments with Xiaoru. When Zhongyi and Tang Yaoyao came out from behind, she was embarrassed to sit in Tang Ning's arms again.

Tang Ning did not continue to sit in the yard. According to the old beggar's secret book, she started a new day of exercise.

No matter how high the official position is or how much money one has, it is not as good as having a good body. These days, Tang Ning has become more and more aware of the importance of having a good body.

Su Mei goes to Tianranju to practice during the day and practices at night. She does not slack off at all for the sake of her family's future. Tang Ning cannot be a burden to her.

His talent is not as good as Tang Yaoyao, Su Mei, or Xiao Xiao. The old beggar clearly told him that it is a lie that hard work can make up for one's shortcomings. He will never become a top master in his life. However, Tang Ning no longer cares about these things. He does not expect to become like the old beggar or Lao Zheng. With the third, fourth, and fifth wives around, can he still let others bully him?

Zhao Yuan stood in the yard holding a few books, looking at Tang Ning who was doing strange movements, and asked curiously: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Tang Ning replied: "Practicing Kung Fu."

Zhao Yuan saw his strange movements and asked: "What Kung Fu?"

Tang Ning explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "If you want to marry many princesses in the future, you will need this kind of Kung Fu."

Zhao Yuan thought about it, threw down the book, stood behind Tang Ning, and started to learn in a serious manner.

Emperor Chen asked him to teach Zhao Yuan to read, but in fact Tang Ning never taught him anything from beginning to end, so he could not be considered his teacher.

He had a university scholar to teach him in the palace, and he was not short of royal education, so he naturally didn't need to teach him.

What's more, as a young prince who did not participate in the fight for the throne, he didn't benefit much from learning too much.

It would be better to play until he came of age, and then marry all his sisters from the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the Bai family, and then the family would go to the fiefdom to live a leisurely life.

Seeing Zhao Yuan practicing in a good manner and full of energy, Tang Ning did not have the heart to tell him that children want everything, but adults have to make choices.

He can only choose one girl from the Wang family, Zhang family, or Bai family.

The granddaughter of the prime minister can be the queen or the princess, but if the granddaughter of the prime minister becomes the princess, he will not have to think about the legitimate daughters of the Zhang family and the legitimate daughters of the Bai family.

The Zhang family has had university scholars for generations, and is a real family of poetry and literature. With only one daughter, the Zhang family feels wronged to marry the crown prince, let alone to be her concubine?

As for the Bai family, the general of the East Gate Guard is surnamed Bai. Few women from military families are concubines, and women from military families are strong-willed. Most of them will not allow their husbands to take concubines, which can be seen from Xiao Jue.

Zhao Yuan felt the strangeness in Tang Ning's eyes, looked at him, and asked nervously: "Sir, do you have anything to say to me?"

"No." Tang Ning shook his head and turned to walk into the study.

Zhao Yuan always felt that he wanted to say something bad. He looked at him anxiously, picked up the books, and chased him in.

Zhao Yuan didn't come to the Tang family to play with Nannan, but to ask Tang Ning questions.

Tang Ning was a little strange. Most of his questions were about the governance philosophy of the ancient sages. In recent days, Zhao Yuan's frequency of asking such questions has obviously increased a lot.

It's not that Tang Ning didn't understand, but as a marginal prince, there was really no point in learning these things. But Tang Ning couldn't tell him that he couldn't be an emperor in this life, and wasted his time on this, it would be better to play house with Wang's sister...

Zhao Yuan was obviously not interested in these things. After asking a few questions, he yawned and said, "Sir, I'm sleepy..."

Tang Ning pointed to the bed in the study and said, "If you're sleepy, take a nap."

Zhao Yuan fell asleep on the bed. Tang Ning was sitting in the study. He hadn't turned a few pages of the book when Zhao Man walked in from the door. Just as he was about to speak, when he saw Zhao Yuan on the bed, the happy expression on his face was immediately retracted. He was originally running towards Tang Ning, but his steps slowed down a lot.

She sat next to Tang Ning and whispered, "I heard from people outside that Prince Duan is going to be the crown prince?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "If there are no accidents in the next two years, His Majesty should make him the crown prince."

In terms of status in the eyes of Emperor Chen, none of the princes can compare to Prince Duan. Now that even Prince Kang has been demoted, Prince Duan has no rivals.

Zhao Man knew about the grudges between Tang Ning and the Tang family and Prince Duan, and asked with some concern: "Will my father pass the throne to my brother, Prince Duan?"

"That's not necessarily true." Tang Ning shook his head and said: "As for the throne, who knows what will happen until the end? In the early Tang Dynasty, when the crown prince was still alive, Prince Tai of Wei and Prince Ke of Wu competed for the throne. They had many supporters behind them, but in the end, the three of them didn't have a good ending, and the young Prince Jin got the advantage?"

After Tang Ning finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He turned his head subconsciously and saw that Zhao Yuan, who had clearly fallen asleep just now, had woken up at some point, staring at him with clear eyes. How could he be sleepy?

He looked at Zhao Yuan and asked: "Aren't you sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore."

Zhao Yuan remained lying on the bed, looking at them, and said: "Sir, sister, you continue talking, don't worry about me..."
