little wife

Chapter 65

Seeing Ning Luo, Jing Yun almost rushed up and grabbed her hand, looked it over carefully from top to bottom, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I...I'll be fine...don't be like this..." Ning Luo whispered, pulled her hand out of his palm in embarrassment, and glanced at Emperor Sheng He.

"Okay, you can take Luo'er back to the mansion. If you are absent-minded, you can't do anything." Emperor Sheng He glanced at him and said expressionlessly, then turned around and walked forward with a group of people.

Jing Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Shenghe's footsteps paused, but he didn't stop, and disappeared in the shadow of the trees on the path after a while.

Jing Yun stood in place and watched his back leave, then took Ning Luo and left the palace quickly.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion had been waiting outside the Xihua Gate. Sitting on the carriage, Jing Yun took Ning Luo into his arms and asked in a low voice, "Isn't Imperial Concubine Mei embarrassing you?"

Ning Luo shook her head, and Jing Yun's pale face softened a little, and she solemnly told: "Remember, if someone invites you to the palace next time, you must excuse your illness and delay it, even if you can't, you can't wait." Send someone to tell me immediately."

Ning Luo said honestly: "This... Mei Huang Guifei asked me to go... There is no danger..."

"Who knows what will happen in the palace," Jing Yun said coldly, "In the palace, they are the king and you are the minister, and it is not a matter of a word to deal with you. Even if it is not obvious, can't they secretly plot against you ? Do you think that my mother's affairs were as simple as being drunk and having sex? Imperial Concubine Mei is Zhao Daiyun's cousin, if she did anything..."

Ning Luo shuddered, and only then did she feel a trace of fear.

"So, did you beg His Majesty?" Her heart was sour. For her, Jing Yun actually begged Emperor Shenghe to return to the palace to bring her out. She could imagine Jing Yun's worries and struggles at that time.

Jing Yun was silent for a moment, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "How can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves? I originally wanted to ask the Crown Princess for help, but I just bumped into her coming out of the inner palace, so I asked her." Ann, she nodded and went to the East Palace, I didn't even have a chance to ask for an exit."

Ning Luo broke free from his embrace immediately, and said with a worried face, "Yes, the news about Jiang Biyue sending him away has been widely spread. Did this offend His Highness the Crown Prince?"

She told all the things in the palace in detail, and looked at Jing Yun anxiously: "You tell me, what should I do?"

Those eyes were clear, and the pupils seemed to be dotted with ink. Jing Yun didn't speak, but just stared at her for a long time, and then slowly kissed her eyelashes.

"Hey... let's get down to business..." Ning Luo smiled and wanted to dodge, but Jing Yun grabbed her neck and let him play with her eyelashes with his lips.

After a long time, Jing Yun took her into his arms again, and said lightly: "Today in the court hall, the crown prince and King Ding fought over who should receive the mission. He can do small things for him; the prince said that he is in good health these days and is willing to serve His Majesty."

Jing Yun seldom talked about state affairs in front of her, but today he brought it up for the first time. Ning Luo couldn't help thinking for a moment and asked, "Then who does His Majesty prefer?"

Meeting the reception envoys, especially the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, means representing Da Chen on behalf of the emperor, with supreme glory. Since King Ding was punished that day, he has acted much more safely, and these days he has been reused by Emperor Shenghe again. After doing a few errands, he is in the limelight. It seems that he really has the ambition to compete with the prince.

"Your Majesty asked the two of them to receive the Northern Zhou Mission together with the Minister of Honglu Temple, and I led Habayashi Qianwei to personally take charge of the escort," Jing Yun said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is... between the Crown Prince and King Ding Thin mud."

Ning Luo's heart tightened, and she immediately grabbed Jing Yun's hand: "What about Yang Yan?"

"You say he has ambitions, but you can't see it from the current situation. After all, his biological mother came from a humble background and is the youngest son. If he has the heart to fight for the heir, I'm afraid His Majesty will not tolerate him." Jing Yun pondered. said for a moment.

Several thoughts flashed through Ning Luo's mind. If Jing Yun treated Yang Yan so lightly, he might lose his chance.After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Then what if... both the crown prince and Prince Ding are in danger?"

Jing Yun was startled, and froze immediately while holding her hand, and said solemnly after a while: "I understand, I will pay attention."

Ning Luo asked cautiously: "You...won't you ask me why I made such an astonishing remark?"

Jing Yun looked at her looking like a little daughter-in-law and smiled: "Why do you ask? My Luo'er is a fairy who came down to earth, and she can know her past and present lives just by pinching her fingers."

Ning Luo was annoyed: "I'm talking business with you, why are you still joking?"

Jing Yun smiled and stared at her with steady eyes, "Luo'er, I'm not kidding, we are husband and wife, you can say whatever you want or don't want to say in front of me. Even if it's nonsense ghosts and gods, from Luo'er What comes out of my son's mouth is also words of gold and jade."

"Brother Jing..." Ning Luo stared at him blankly, and suddenly buried herself in his chest.

Jing Yun caressed her back lightly, her voice was gentle but steady: "Don't worry, Luo'er, they fight for theirs, we take ours, we just have to wait and see what happens. If His Royal Highness is against you because of this rumor I have a grudge in my heart, so let's find a way to get out of this place as soon as possible, and let them grab the supreme position."

Jing Yun's actions have always come from rules, not to mention the affairs of the court, which cannot be controlled by the women in the back house. Ning Luo had only heard a few sporadic words in his previous life. She doesn't know the unpredictable changes in the end of the family raiding, let alone so many variables in this life, so don't disturb Jing Yun's mind anymore.Since then, she has calmed down and never cared about those gossips.

The Northern Zhou mission lived in the Sifang Pavilion when they entered Beijing. Prince Yang Zhan and Ding Wang Yang Hao were ordered by the emperor to lead the officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to meet the mission, and held banquets in the East Palace and Dingwang Mansion respectively. The brothers seemed to hold back a lot of energy, and in front of outsiders, they showed a dignified, gentle and wise appearance, showing the demeanor of the old crown prince.

Every day when he returned to the mansion, Jing Yun would tell Ning Luo some interesting things during the day, and he became more and more vigilant to the Northern Zhou Mission: "The general's surname is Lu Mingyi, and he is the No. 1 general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He is extremely powerful, and he is the in-law of the current Northern Zhou emperor, if he wants to watch the military performance of the imperial army today, he is afraid that he wants to spy on the military situation."

"Did you see it later?" Ning Luo asked while pinching his shoulder.

Jing Yun smiled: "How could it be possible to let him see, let the Habayashi Army make a casual battle to fool him tomorrow. But the deputy envoy next to him should not be underestimated, that person's name is Xie Junchun, from the Northern Zhou family The son of the son, just became a son-in-law last year. It is rumored that he is cruel and merciless. He was originally to assist the little prince. After the little prince lost his life for no reason, he followed the eldest son to protect him all the way to the position. He has the merit of a dragon. These days Every day he would go out in a light car and tour around the capital, not knowing what kind of medicine could be sold in the gourd."

Ning Luo was stunned for a moment, the name sounded familiar, she thought for a moment and suddenly changed her face: "It's him!"

She still remembered the bad news that Ning Heng was defeated and died. The general who led the army in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was Xie Junchun. After defeating Xie Junchun, not only regained the lost ground, but also shot him off the horse with an arrow and almost killed him.

"You know him too?" Jing Yun looked at her thoughtfully.

Ning Luo settled down and said: "Yes, I have heard my father and elder brother mention him. This man is full of tricks, you must be more careful."

"Madam, don't worry, let him be as cunning as a fox, as long as he is in my big Chen capital, he will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of his husband." Jing Yun said confidently.

Ning Luo gave him an angry look: "Bragging."

"Why is this bragging? It's like looking at your wife, and you can tell what's on your mind right now." Jing Yun said seriously.

"What am I thinking, you should tell me." Ning Luo snorted lightly.

"Madam thought in her heart, 'My husband is really good, this person is nothing to worry about as a clown, he will definitely be my husband's defeat', do I mean it?" Jing Yun said jokingly.

Ning Luo looked at him silently, her eyes were bright and shining.

Jing Yun's throat tightened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Madam looks at me like this again, I will be rude to my husband."

"Since you are the roundworm in my stomach, then guess what I was thinking?" Ning Luo tilted her head playfully.

Jing Yun raised his hand to embrace her, but Ning Luo got short and got out from under his armpit, and hid behind the pillar after a few steps and made a face at him: "Didn't you guess it?"

It's a pity that there is only such a small space in this room, Jing Yun teased her around twice like a cat catching a mouse, and threw her on the bed in one fell swoop: "Are you still naughty?"

Ning Luo ran out of breath, begging for mercy repeatedly: "No, Brother Jing, please forgive me, your shoulders haven't been rubbed yet, I'll beat your legs..."

As soon as Jing Yun raised his hand, the gauze curtain poured out, wrapping the two of them in it, and a sweet murmur came, Clover and Yingxiang who were waiting on the side had already retreated, and closed the door with blushing hearts.

Ning Luo was late again when she woke up the next day. Fortunately, the Eldest Princess had her set of rules for asking for peace. According to her, Taoism pays attention to following one's will. The blood is the most beneficial, she doesn't like to let the juniors come over early in the morning, but likes the family to talk at night around the fire after dinner.

Today Ning Luo has made up her mind to go to the silk shop to buy some fabrics for Jing Yun to buy some summer clothes.Ever since she embroidered a sachet for Jing Yun that day, Jing Yun hung it on her waist almost every day. She finally understood why her mother embroidered clothes for her father every year even if she was not in good health. All stitched with love.

But before they left the house, a servant handed over a greeting card. Ning Luo saw that it was Ning Xuan!
Surprised and delighted, she hurriedly invited someone in.

Ning Xuan came here in the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion this time, accompanied by Chalcedony and an unknown maid, and behind her were two father-in-laws. Ning Luo invited the two father-in-laws to serve tea in the side hall, while she and Ning Xuan sat in the flower hall and chatted about the daily life.

I haven't seen her in nearly half a year, and Ning Xuan's complexion doesn't look too good, her face is much thinner, her complexion is also slightly pale, and only her eyes are shining with joy.

"Ninth sister, I begged the lord to come out for some air, and the lord let me see you." Ning Xuan happily took her hand, "How are you doing these days?"

Yang Yan is so kind, is this a trick?She glanced at the two maidservants beside Ning Xuan, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is very kind to me, but you, why do you look so thin?"

Ning Xuan was stunned for a moment, and the circles of her eyes turned red, and she forced a smile after a while: "Girls look better when they are thinner."

Ning Luo winked at Lvsong, and Lvsong immediately stepped forward and said to the two maidservants: "Sisters, come with me to the small kitchen to have a look, I wonder what snacks Madam likes to eat on weekdays, so save me from taking wrong."

Seeing Chalcedony and the others leave, Ning Luo's face darkened: "Sister Seven, is that Zhao Daiyun tormenting you?"

Ning Xuan's lips trembled slightly, and she forced a smile and said: "She only has this little trick, I avoid her if I can, and let her humiliate, beat and scold a few times if I can't avoid it, and the patience is over."

"What about Yang Yan? After all, he is a married couple, but he just watched Zhao Daiyun spoil you like this?" Ning Luo said angrily.

"You can't blame the prince," Ning Xuan hurriedly explained, "he has his difficulties. After all, she is a concubine, and the prince can't stay in the mansion all day to protect me. I can't help him. I'm too useless."

"You still speak for him..." Ning Luo stroked his forehead. If a man really wants to protect someone, what else can he do?

"Really, the lord is very kind to me," Ning Xuan revealed a dreamlike smile, "You don't know, the lord is an indomitable hero. With the world in mind, jealous of evil..."

Ning Luo stared blankly at her chattering there, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. Maybe this is because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Marriage is something like a person who knows whether drinking water is warm or not. Ning Xuan just likes it.

"Nine Sisters," Ning Xuan paused for a moment, her eyes showing a bit of pride, she stroked her lower abdomen, "I have a happy event to tell you, I... am pregnant."
