"Dong Ning, have you really decided?"

Peilan was also there. After listening to Dong Ning's thoughts, she said anxiously: "But we can't get any more of this, you Jinghong brother and sister, I and your fifth brother..."

"Sister Pei, I'm almost eighteen years old."

Dong Ning was also a little sad. He was playing with the little monster staring at her with big eyes and blinking in the cradle. The leader patted Peilan's hand and said to Dong Ning: "Regarding Zuo Bing, your brother's evaluation is: complicated, non-chi Zhongwu, I don’t want you to entangle him too much—"

"Do you think I like him?" Dong Ning whispered and shook her head, "I like him and I am very grateful. I am grateful to him for helping Brother Jinghong, but it's not like you like Brother Jinghong... I'll be Brother Fan Being a good friend with him... I just wonder why he suddenly had to draw a line with me... In this way, I understand it, it is the instruction of Brother Jinghong..."

The leader groaned slightly and said: "This is just one. I think that if Zuo Bing really wants to associate with someone, he won't be blocked by any external force."

"Yes, I think so too," Dong Ning thought for a while, nodded and smiled, Peilan was strange, sister. Niang didn't have any discomfort, she still smiled at Mimi.

"So, I agree with your idea... just do what you want."

It was just the words of the leader that really surprised her.

But what surprised her even more was the subsequent dinner.

During the banquet, Caining asked with a smile intentionally or unconsciously, "Alice, when will this grand ceremony be held? If it is within a month, Caining will ask for this cup of wedding wine before returning to Xixia."

This time, General Lang rushed back from the border to attend, and his expression changed slightly. Many courtiers also looked at the woman beside the emperor with concern.

The queen, the back position is suspended. Who else will be canonized besides one person who is above ten thousand people?

The Shangguan smiled in surprise and was about to speak. The leader looked at Cai Ningfeng with her eyes tilted, and looked at herself with a smile, knowing that she was deliberately embarrassed, and the Shangguan replied in shock: "The emperor and the empress are a young couple, we are in distress. The emperor has said that , The queen will not have a wife anymore in this life. This book will be after the ceremony, I am afraid that it will wait for the new emperor to succeed, the emperor will be counted down for a hundred years, it’s not good, how dare you be a princess? century?"

Cai Ning was suffocated and could not speak for a while.

Qiao Chu smiled, did not speak any more, and the rest has nothing to do with her. Seeing the gaze that General Lang handed over was solemn and grateful, she nodded and smiled.

The ordeal between her and Shangguan Jinghong has passed, but there will be new twists and turns in the future. The most expensive and most bitter emperor in the world, there are many new officials at the moment. After Shangguan Jinghong succeeded to the throne, they have changed a lot of new blood. They are the people who were shocked by Shangguan, but also because they were the people who were shocked by Shangguan. The concubine is not a good thing. Everyone is afraid that she will make trouble. It is also bad for the active emperor and the survival of the fittest.

And Cai Ning's affection for Shangguan is something that everyone can see. Yan Hou is not at peace now. Yan Hou's meritorious service is overpowering and selfish. He uses his own soldiers to help Dongling. If Yan Hou and his son do not oppose him, he will soon be banished by Yan Hou and his son. It is a difficult situation. The Emperor Tian Khan of the Di country was faint and his ruling power was in chaos. King Yan had already formed an alliance with Mengjing Great Khan, the largest power of the Di country. No one knew what they would do after the alliance. Although Tanglin’s national strength was prosperous, after the war, it was very worn out soon after the war. The marriage between King Xia and Princess Yinping has become a cloud, but if Shangguan Jinghong can marry Caining and marry Xixia again, Tanglin’s power will be more stable. By the time the Japanese military recovers to its heyday, it will be possible to pursue a greater vision.

At this time, the ministers were very eloquent, but they were incontrovertible. General Lang was grateful and said: "Weichen thank the emperor and grandmother. Niang Da's kindness, the Lang family must be remembered."

Many young officials were more worried about this concubine after hearing the words, believing that she was deliberately obstructing the concubine.

King Ning never concealed Peilan's affairs. The leader heard Peilan say in the past two days that among these officials are two new officials from the Ministry of Justice, one is Zhou Lei and the other is Lin Rui. The two are particularly aggressive. They impeached her several times and persuaded the emperor to resume the draft. Expand the harem. Had it not been for Shangguan Jinghong to see that these two talents had learned well, they would have been sent to prison long ago. She deliberately observed her words and expressions. Seeing that the two young men in the audience had sharp eyebrows, they looked at her calmly for several times and understood that it was those two people.

Shangguan Jinghong in the boudoir didn’t mention these things to her. She knew that he didn’t want her to worry about these things. These days, he was more vigorous with her about feeding little monsters, saying that she was in poor health. Let the breast. Mother feed it. She couldn't bear to bear it, squinting with him.

She just assumed that she hadn't seen the movements of these two people. Shangguan Jinghong's eyes were only sharper than the others. How could she not notice the actions in the hall, and her eyes suddenly became cold.

Cai Ning said at this time, "The emperor, Cai Ning has an unsympathetic request. I have been upset recently, but the doctor of Xixia couldn't find out what happened. When I came to Tanglin, I also asked the palace doctor to see I can't tell the result. The emperor is a great power player. After the banquet, can I ask the emperor to take a trip to Caining's palace and give Caining a doctor?"

Shangguan glanced at the leader ridiculously, lowly, look, you don't take me seriously, but many people take me seriously.

The leader smiled back, "You can give her a positive answer, so that your courtiers don't think I'm jealous."

Zhou Lin thought she was trying to discourage the emperor, so she stood up and played: "Mother, mother, Princess Caining is a distinguished guest of Tanglin. The emperor treats the princess as a way of hospitality. Niang. Niang Mingjian."

The leader smiled helplessly, but she didn't say anything. Now think about it, some of the accusations of favoring concubines in Chinese history did not come from this way?

Officials who agreed with Zhou Lei and Lin Rui also all rose up at this time, saying please mother Niang Mingjian. It was Ning Wang Zongpu and others and some veteran officials secretly saying something was wrong, Ning Wangfang stood up, Shangguan Jinghong had already taken the case, and laughed coldly, "I don’t know when the people in this hall who want to learn from them became concubines instead of concubines. I!"

Everyone was shocked, and they dared not say anything for a while. Zhou Lin and the two also trembled: "The minister dare not."

"I don't like those courtiers who are disrespectful to me. Since you don't have me in your eyes, you don't have to stay here anymore. Xia Haibing, pull them down and cut them!"

Xia Haibing was startled, but he didn't expect Shangguan Jinghong to spare these two young men several times, but this time he was so cruel. Then I thought that it must be because the leader was in the hall, and the Shangguan was frightened by his disrespect to her, killing chickens and cursing monkeys, and no longer allowed others to talk nonsense in front of the leader.

He is the leader of the Forbidden Army, where the law enforcement is located in the palace, and knowing that the Shangguan is shocked, he can't say anything, so he immediately called the Forbidden Army to come forward and detained the two.

The two men were also young men. They were still respectful to Shangguan Jinghong. At this time, they rushed to scold the leader. King Ning and Zongpu curse secretly in their hearts, but they finally pleaded with other officials who pleaded.

General Lang opposed, and said coldly: "In front of the emperor, how can you wait to say something! This sin of disrespect, you should kill!"

Zuo Bing came out and sang black face at the same time.

Dong Ning looked at it and thought to herself, this Chaotang's affairs are really complicated, and people's hearts are even more complicated, whether Zong Pu or Zuo Bing.

At this time, the leader hurriedly asked each other, saying: "The emperor, Min'er's ceremony for his heirs is coming soon, is it okay to save the two adults for Min'er?"

She held his hand tightly under the table, and did not ask for other reasons such as the two adults in the heart of the emperor, but straightforwardly used the little monster to intercede.

Shangguan Jinghong stared at her for a long while, and finally agreed, his eyes were like a knife, "This time I look at the prince, not as an example!"

Zhou Lin and two were frightened, and like many officials, they watched the leader for a long time, and they were surprised and suspicious. They were young and energetic, but they weren't confused to the point that they would rather not die because they were the leaders. Whether the leaders were sincere or fake, they immediately thanked them and discussed it after all struggles.

Princess Caining watched with cold eyes, feeling uncomfortable. She has reached the age of marriage. King Xixia mentioned her marriage many times. She wanted to put Shangguan down, but she couldn't marry herself to another man. You can say, Shangguan. Jinghong is another dream besides seizing the throne.

She took a glass of wine, walked to Shangguan Jinghong, and said quietly: "The emperor still remembers the previous appointment with Caining."

To everyone's expectations, Shangguan Jinghong didn't excuse him, and took the wine she handed over, "Xi San, I will follow the princess."

The leader was also slightly startled when he heard that, Caining looked at her and laughed softly.

*

The night was very deep, Shangguan Jinghong had not returned to the sleeping hall, the little monster had fallen asleep in the dark, with bubbles in his mouth.

The leader remembered his faint words before leaving, saying that if I forget the time, you come to me, I will come back immediately, and led the four beauties to the palace where Cai Ning was staying.
