Chapter 253 Thank you for your gift
Although some people were happy and some were worried, in general, the birthday party was a success, and there was no verbal dispute between King Meng and Fu Mingyue.

After the crowd dispersed, Ning Xiyao took Jinyan back to the room, and took out something from his arms with a smile.

"Time is short, I don't have time to prepare better ones, I will give you this as a birthday present today, and if you get something good in the future, I will definitely give it to you." Ning Xiyao handed the things he took out to Jin Yan.

Jin Yan took a closer look at this thing, it was a very delicate silver hairpin with a delicate peach blossom pattern on the hairpin head, it turned out to be a peach blossom hairpin.The workmanship is indeed exquisite and beautiful, but Jinyan has never paid much attention to jewelry, so she felt that this peach hairpin was similar to the jewelry given by the prince, so she didn't take it seriously and accepted it calmly.

Seeing Jinyan's expression of no joy, Ning Xiyao said again: "I know you don't care much about gold and silver jewelry, and you usually dress up simply. How could I give you useless things. This is not an ordinary hairpin. There is something hidden in the hairpin handle."

Ning Xiyao took the peach hairpin and demonstrated it to her.The handle of this hairpin has a wide face, which is as wide as ordinary hairpins, and there is no abnormality.But Ning Xiyao moved in a peach blossom stamen on the head of the hairpin, and a sharp knife edge quickly popped out from the handle of the hairpin.Jinyan looked at the sharpness in surprise, while Ning Xiyao was looking at her with a smile on his face, seeming very satisfied with her reaction.

"Your safety is what I care about most. You don't like to be confined in the mansion, and you don't like many people to follow you. But I don't feel at ease when you go out to play and no one follows you. If you encounter any danger, there is a Things for self-defense are also good. This small knife is hidden in the hairpin, and ordinary people can’t see it at all. Even if you meet bad people, you don’t know that the hairpin on your head is a sharp weapon. I think, in times of danger, maybe This might help a little bit.”

Jin Yan looked at the silver hairpin more carefully now, she remembered how to open the knife edge, and Ning Xiyao just said that because of the rush of time, she didn't prepare anything particularly good, but it was only in two days To create such an exquisite hairpin with a small knife embedded in it, how can it be said that there is no preparation for this effort.I'm afraid that the human, financial and mental effort consumed in it is rare.

Jinyan was very grateful for Ning Xiyao's kindness, the gift was so extraordinary that she could no longer accept it as an ordinary jewelry.

"Thank you for your gift. I will definitely wear this peach hairpin often."

"It's a blessing not to be shelved by you." Ning Xiyao joked.

Jinyan knew that he was saying that those little daisy ornaments were locked up by her and she didn't use them. He gave her more than that, but she didn't use them very much. For Ning Xiyao, it was inevitable that she felt disappointed.So this time, Jinyan gave her enough face. Anyway, it is something that is helpful to her own safety, and it is not bad to wear it often.This time, Ning Xiyao got what he deserved.

The public opinion in the capital instantly turned. Everyone heard that only the princes were invited to the birthday party of Princess Jin, including the prince and King Ling who were caught in the public opinion before.Ning Xiyao intentionally spread the news about the brothers and sisters at the birthday banquet, and everyone knew that the relationship between King Min and Prince Lingwang was not that bad, and they were not affected by the rumors at all. Get along without any embarrassment.

And just after the birthday banquet, Jin Yan even went to the Prince's Mansion to visit the Crown Princess generously. During the period, she also met the Ling Wang in the Prince's Mansion, and the Ling King even sent Jin Yan back to the mansion. Everything seemed very natural.That's why everyone believed that rumors were just rumors, and there was no ambiguity between Princess Jin and King Ling.

On the contrary, all kinds of food that appeared in the birthday banquet were spread to the streets and alleys. In addition to barbecue, the cakes, egg tarts, and juices specially made by Jinyan caused a sensation for imitation.Jinyan made no secret of this, made the production method public, and earned a lot of reputation for a while, who would say that Jinyan is wrong.

Soon into May, I don't know if it was because of the better weather, the emperor's body began to recover, and his spirit recovered seven or eight points.

Unexpectedly, once the emperor's health recovered, he secretly issued two orders.He ordered Ning Xiyao and the prince to go to two cities in the south of the Yangtze River to inspect.

Because of the prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River, it is easy to produce some corrupt officials.Recently, the problem in Jiangnan has become more and more prominent. It seems that it is easy to lie when the emperor is dying, but in fact, the emperor has always kept this matter in his heart.Not only the emperor, but Ning Xiyao also commented on Jiangnan's affairs in the memorial many times.With the help of Ning Xixiao, the prince also mentioned it.

Before, the emperor's condition was not optimistic and his spirit was poor, so he delayed.After finally getting well, the Jiangnan officials must be strictly investigated.He sat in the middle of the capital and told the crown prince and Ning Xiyao to investigate officials in two different towns, and they were not allowed to bring any Beijing officials with them. Except for the guards who could protect them, they were like going deep into the south of the Yangtze River alone.

Ning Xiyao was fine, but the crown prince was in trouble.You are not allowed to bring any think tanks, not to mention Shangguan He, even Ning Xixiao.He has never been in charge of it alone, and it is inevitable that he will need the help of the Beijing officials to make suggestions. If he is asked to go there alone, how can he think of an idea.

But the emperor announced them into the palace without any warning, and then gave them a secret decree. He didn't give them any more time at all, and ordered their entourage to go back to the mansion to tidy up, and set off quietly that night, and separated them from each other. A close friend of the emperor will be installed.Since they received the secret decree, they have never returned to their own gates.

The emperor arranged this way, of course, to prevent the two of them from making preparations, and to prevent someone in Beijing from passing news to Jiangnan.Ning Xiyao understood in his heart that the emperor specially asked him and the crown prince to investigate the Jiangnan affairs, and also intended to test them.If things are done well this time, it will be of great benefit to the selection of the throne in the future.

He was not afraid of going to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection, but when he thought that he would not see Jin Yan for a long time, he felt very worried.It's rare to get along with Jinyan better recently than before, but we have to be separated for a while. What will Jinyan do when he is not around?He hasn't subdued Jinyan's heart yet, will something happen to her and Ning Xixiao while he's away?Or, he always felt that Jinyan wanted to escape, would she take the opportunity to escape?

Ning Xiyao seemed to be more worried about Jinyan than about Jiangnan.

When the sun rose the next day, the government officials in central Beijing knew that King Min and the crown prince had been sent on business by the emperor, but the emperor only mentioned it clearly, and did not even say where they were going on business.But how could the officials stop there and investigate again in secret, even Shangguan He also investigated, but this time they couldn't find out.Even if he tried to contact the prince, he couldn't.
