It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 214 214. Bloodlines

"Father, the uncle of the Ning family sent me a message."

The Ning family is the surname of Concubine Ning, Ji Changdeng's biological mother.Concubine Ning's beauty was unlucky, and she was lucky enough to give birth to the Ninth Prince Ji Changdeng, who died before living for a few years.

Ji Changdeng has always been unknown, and the Ning family didn't make any big moves.

Now that Ji Changdeng is living in the East Palace, one person is less than ten thousand, but the Ning family's uncle has made some noise.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Longtai understood what he meant, and said calmly: "Appoint people on their merits, and your uncle's family can do whatever they can."

Logically speaking, when Ji Changdeng became the prince, his natal family should also confer a false title as a show of favor, but Emperor Longtai didn't want to do that.

Ji Changdeng himself is the son of Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning is not his favorite concubine, but Ji Changdeng became the crown prince, and her biological mother was directly named a concubine because of her son.It doesn't mean that Emperor Longtai likes Concubine Ning very much.

Moreover, for the sake of Ji Changdeng's future name change, Emperor Longtai simply asked Ji Changdeng to be named under the name of Empress Zhaode.

As the main concubine, he has one more advantage over Ji Changhe.That being the case, the Ning family can no longer be considered a serious natal family, and the Huo family of Dongping County is Ji Changdeng's official natal family.

If the Ning family kept their own place, they would be able to enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth and unparalleled honor and prosperity after Ji Chang ascended the throne.

However, depending on the situation, the Ning family is a little ready to move because of Ji Changdeng.

"Father, some of my son's cousins ​​are getting old, I wonder if my son can back up the gift and express my condolences on behalf of my father?"

Right now it is the time of Princess Fuhui's funeral, Ji Changdeng has also changed into black clothes for mourning, not as graceful and luxurious as before.

Ji Changdeng's eyes were bright and clear, and Emperor Longtai was in a trance when he saw it, and his tone softened a little, "If you want to give it away, you can give it away. At least it is your natal family, so it is feasible to give some face that you should have."

Currently, the Ning family does not have the ability to disturb Chao Gang, and Emperor Longtai has no need to be wary of the Ning family for the time being.

Several cousins ​​of Ji Changdeng are several years older than him. Originally, they planned to marry a local ordinary member's family. Of course, now there is an extra cousin Ji Changdeng who is the prince. The sisters naturally do not want to live a hasty life like this.

Speaking of the Ning family, Ji Shaoyuan has something to say.

"Brother, I wonder if you have met the ladies of the Ning family?"

Ji Shaoyuan is not a person who does not make waves without wind.

Regarding the Ning family, Ji Shaoyuan spent all his time investigating, and saw that although they were a little cautious, but they were honest and honest, they would not cause big trouble, so he was a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, some members of the Ning family simply collected some things that shouldn't be collected outside because of the addition of a prince's grandson.

It can only be said that people are drifting away, and it will be a matter of time before they do stupid things.

Ji Changdeng was taken aback, "I have never met them. Has my sister seen them?"

They're all female relatives, so it's okay to see them.

Ji Shaoyuan smiled slightly, "How dare I call people from the Ning family? I've been very busy these days, and I haven't seen many people, but I heard that they are very popular these days and have a lot of money."

There is no need to speak too clearly, half-hidden is enough.

Emperor Longtai recalled it quickly, with an indifferent expression, "Remind Ning Zhen, don't do things that are easy to discredit the prince."

After all, the Ning family came from poverty all the way, and once they saw wealth, they became more concerned.

It's thanks to them not daring to do bad things that hurt nature and reason, otherwise, Emperor Longtai wouldn't mind coming to warn this batch of imperial relatives as an example.

Ning Zhen, Concubine Ning's older brother.When Concubine Ning entered the palace, Concubine Ning's elder brother got married and had a son. Ji Changdeng had never received any letter or care from the Ning family during these years in the palace.

Foreign relatives and eunuchs are the most taboo thing in all dynasties.

Ji Changdeng himself didn't have much affection for the Ning family. Now that they have caused an accident, Ji Changdeng said in a calm tone, "I asked someone to send a letter. I think Uncle Ning will be obedient."

No matter how stupid Ning Zhen is, he also understands that if he offends the prince's nephew, the Ning family will not have a good life in the future.

"Ning has a lot of family members. If they don't give you some sweets, they won't let it go."

Ji Shaoyuan made an opinion.

Ning Zhen is easy to solve, after all, he is an adult, but it may not be the case for the juniors of the Ning family.Originally, Concubine Ning entered the palace because the Ning family favored boys over girls, and treated Concubine Ning better than Ning Zhen since she was a child.After Concubine Ning turned 12, the parents of the Ning family wanted to use their daughter's dowry as a dowry for their son to marry a wife, and planned to hire an 80-year-old wealthy businessman to make Concubine Ning the No. 18 concubine. Taking advantage of the palace's recruitment of maids of honor, she simply signed up and fled.

Since Concubine Ning entered the palace, she has never been evil to others and has a good reputation.It was purely accidental that she would be favored by Emperor Longtai.

After Concubine Ning passed away, it took a long time for the Ning family to find out about it.The entire Ning family disliked Concubine Ning's "rebellion", and even watched Ji Changdeng coldly.

Who would have thought that when Ji Changdeng became famous, Concubine Ning would also come to the end of her hardships?
The younger generations of the Ning family don't know the grievances between Concubine Ning and the Ning family, they only know that Concubine Ning is their sister-in-law, and that the Ning family has an extra prince's grandson, Ji Changdeng.

Like the Ning family, there are countless people among the people, but the Ning family is a bit better, and they will not kill infants.

In some of the more backward and underdeveloped areas, the phenomenon of drowning female infants is almost a common occurrence.

Emperor Longtai squinted his eyes, "Ning Zhen is mediocre and has no talent, and he depends on his wife's family to support him. These cousins ​​of Laojiu will marry in the future, just give them more money. Concubine Ning was estranged from them during her lifetime, which makes no sense. After death, you can still be intimate with your family."

Even if Concubine Ning was not in the favor of Emperor Longtai, Emperor Longtai still considered some of her ideas.

The Ning family shouldn't be too glamorous, just give them some money and send them away. Anyway, with Ji Changdeng around, no one dares to bully the Ning family.

Of course, if the Ning family handles or arranges the girls at will as before, then Ji Changdeng will not turn a blind eye.

——The story of Concubine Ning, don't repeat it again.

Hearing this, Ji Changdeng took it for granted, "Father is right. The cousins ​​of the Ning family, and the sons and ministers plan to give each of them some silk jewelry as dowry. , Erchen tried to find a way to communicate with the Ning family and cancel the engagement."

The cousins ​​of the Ning family seem to have followed the old line of Concubine Ning. They have been neglected by the family for a long time, and they can only be regarded as victims of the family's rich and noble family.

Ji Shaoyuan interjected, "Why don't I think of a way to meet them."

Give them a grace, maybe the fate will be completely different.

A woman's whole life cannot be all the children's husband's parents.They also have their own world.

It is a supreme honor for the Ning family that Princess Xiangli summoned the cousins ​​of the Ning family.

Ji Changdeng smiled back, "Sister, I'm sorry."

Seeing that the two siblings had reached an agreement, Emperor Longtai laughed loudly, "Very well, I am very pleased that you two siblings have cooperated sincerely."

Although Ji Changdeng was recorded under the name of Empress Zhaode, the two siblings were always half-siblings, and they had no relationship at all before that.

Now, the two live in harmony and have a harmonious relationship, Emperor Longtai is quite pleased.

……

Princess Xiangli sent Aunt Biyue to spread the word that the ladies from the Xuanning family were guests at Princess Xiangli's mansion.

The whole Ning family rejoiced.

The head of the Ning family, Ning Zhen, stroked his beard proudly, "Unexpectedly, our Ning family also had moments when they became prominent, and the spirits of our parents must be gratifying."

It's funny to say that within a few years of Concubine Ning's death, her parents also died of illness, and the cause of death was an incurable disease.

Being tortured badly by illness, this is probably the retribution given to them by Concubine Ning.

Because the Ning family didn't have a lot of money, the burial was done hastily, and they were buried in a random place.

Concubine Ning passed away, and her parents left again. Ning Zhen didn't want to recall the difficulties at that time at all.

Ning Zhen's wife, Haishi, has a shrewd look on her face, she controls the financial resources of the Ning family, she said to Ning Zhen: "Princess Xiangli is the elder sister of His Royal Highness, she will invite the Ning family to be a guest, is it because of the prince's intention? "

Haishi is more happy than anyone else to have a prince's nephew.Back then, when the Ning family hired his wife, Hai Shi, it was because they saw that the Hai family was rich and powerful, with land, servants and houses, so it could be called a landlord.

The Ning family used to work for the Hai family. If it wasn't for Hai's obsession, he suddenly fell in love with Ning Zhen who saved her at first sight, and made a fuss about Ning Zhen. It is estimated that the Hai family would not be willing to agree to this marriage at all.

The Ning family was in decline, and Hai Shi not only had to be busy making ends meet, but also had to support the Ning family's reputation. When she returned, the ridicule and disdain of those sisters was still fresh in her memory.

Now, the Ning family has a grandson who is the prince. She is the prince's aunt. In the future, the Ning family will be relatives of the emperor. Do those sisters still dare to laugh at her?
When Haishi was a girl, she was also a girl with a lot of love and a strong temper.After she got married, her temper became stronger and stronger, and she never restrained herself at all.

When Ning Zhen thought of that unattainable nephew, his heart trembled, "Maybe it's him."

I have never met him before, and I have no chance to see him now.

Ning Zhen was very dissatisfied with Hai Shi's answer, "What is possibility? How noble is Princess Xiangli? Calling Ni'er and the others for no reason, isn't that for the prince's sake?"

Ji Shaoyuan didn't know the Ning family, and the two families couldn't talk about deep friendship.

Except for Ji Changdeng, no one bothered to promote the Ning family.

When Ning Zhen heard this, he thought it was the same reason, so he laughed, "Unexpectedly, the prince is quite fond of our relatives."

Concubine Ning and the Ning family's personal grievances are not clear to others, but Ning Zhen knows it clearly.

Because of this, Ning Zhen was trembling during this time, worried that Ji Changdeng would avenge Concubine Ning.

"Although His Royal Highness is His Majesty's son, in terms of emotion and strength, he is far inferior to the King of Bohai. His Royal Highness's move is to hope that our Ning family will help him."

Haishi is well-informed and understands the court situation.

Ji Changhe, king of Bohai, went to Bohai, Ji Changzheng was abolished, and Ji Changdeng stood out, but he was young and had little experience, so he had a long way to go in the future.

Hai's eyes were vicious, and he pointed out the situation of the Ning family, "The Ning family must be cautious in their words and deeds, and they must not be caught by others."

The Ning family relies entirely on the crown prince.
