Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 76
"Why are you following me?" Ning Erlan looked at the half-grown boy kneeling on one knee with a calm expression. If it weren't for those clear and transparent eyes, she might not know who he is.But she could never forget those eyes.It was the boy she had rescued in the critically ill camp outside the city.

But unexpectedly, their fate did not end after she stepped out of the tent, and this time she saved his life in the stream again.

"You saved me, and I will serve you." The boy had already changed into ordinary clothes, and his black hair was tied up with a piece of silk, but this still couldn't cover up his pair of beautiful eyes like stars in the dark night. head.

Because some of the rotten flesh on his face was cut off at that time, the new skin growing on his face completely covered this handsome face that gradually opened up, but this did not hinder his future recovery.

"So you followed us all the way?" She didn't know where the boy's obsession came from, and she didn't know his identity, if she rashly kept him by her side...

"Yes. It starts when you go out of town."

"If you really want to follow me, then you take it." Ning Erlan looked at the firmness in the boy's eyes, sighed softly, took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and poured out a pill.

The boy didn't ask much, took the pill, and took it without hesitation.

Ning Erlan nodded slightly with eyes flashing. "From now on, your name will be Xiran. From now on, you will be my bodyguard. How old are you this year?"

"13 is old."

Ning Erlan nodded and asked Xinyue to tell Ning Guoan that Xiran was Li Si's nephew and would follow them to the imperial city.Ning Guoan naturally knew who Li Si was, and it happened that the Ning Mansion suddenly lost so many people, so he nodded and agreed without saying much.

But when she was about to get into the carriage, she met Wei Lingxiao's black eyes.

With a flash in her eyes, Ning Erlan lowered the car curtain.

She didn't know why she agreed to keep Xiran by her side, but the clarity in his eyes made her nod her head in a strange way, but if he was really a secret agent or a relative who wanted to harm her, she also had the one that made his life worse than death. Ability!

Since the assassination of the ruined temple, the journey has been fairly peaceful, at least where they can see it.Of course, she was not mistaken for the smell of blood that had not completely dissipated in the air a few miles away on the second day of the assassination, and the remaining intestines and liver even after being washed by the rain.Perhaps on the night they were frightened, an unexpected fierce battle took place in this area.

However, none of that has anything to do with her, an ordinary person.All she has to do is live her little life without hearing or seeing.

"Miss, we're going to the imperial city!" The excitement on Xinchen's little face who lifted the curtain of the car and looked out couldn't be concealed.

Ning Erlan opened her slightly hazy eyes. "It's finally here."

Ning Erlan lightly lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the upright figure no matter how tall she was.The imperial city is indeed the most prosperous and magnificent symbol of the Great Qin Dynasty. Just the majestic city walls that reach into the dangerous peaks, and the thick red city gates that are superimposed by several people are daunting.

Outside the city gate, civil and military officials in official uniforms and the common people who came have already stood on both sides of the city gate one by one.

"Welcome King Ling, the Second Prince returns to the city." When the team approached the city gate, they heard deafening shouts.

Ning Erlan in the carriage raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words, when did the second prince catch up with their team, or he was always in front of them, and they didn't know it at all?

Standing at the head of the hundred officials was a man in his fifties wearing a red and black official uniform, his eyes were a little cloudy but the bottom of his eyes was bright.

Wei Ziming, who was dressed in white Tsing Yi, got off his horse, even after running around for days, his gentle face did not show fatigue. "I'm sorry, Prime Minister Zuo went out of the city to meet you."

Wei Lingxiao's eyes fell on Wei Ziming lightly, and after a glance, he also got off his horse. After a few pleasantries, only a few hundred people remained in the team of thousands of people to follow into the city.

Although the Ning Mansion has made some contributions in the fight against the plague this time, these contributions are not enough in the eyes of those powerful people.So after everyone entered the imperial city in a mighty way, the people who followed the Ning Mansion were completely ignored.

Although Ning Guoan was annoyed, he also knew that this imperial city was not a place he could make mistakes, so he could only bring his people to the mansion he bought before to live temporarily in resentment.

The temporary Ning Mansion is located on a street in the North District, which is quite a distance from the center of the imperial city.

I heard that this house was originally bought by a merchant who used to do business in the imperial city, but now he has moved to the Jiangnan area, so the house has been left unused.

Although the house looked old from the outside, it was well protected inside, and the courtyard door showed no signs of peeling paint.

"Everyone pack up and go to rest." Finally arrived at the imperial city of dreams, but the people who had already been stimulated by what happened on the road were not very interested. After listening to Ning Guoan's explanation, they all went back to their own. The yard went.

Ning Erlan chose a relatively clean courtyard to live in. She explained that after she arrived in the imperial city, Li Si, Wan Laoqi and others would set off, and Guan Furan would go to work, and it would probably take a month or two. To be able to come back here.

Thinking of this, she fell asleep in a daze.

"Miss, miss, get up quickly, the master sent a new dress for the miss, and said that someone from the palace came just now, and asked the master to attend the celebration banquet tonight." Xinyue called Ning Er softly. Lan.

Ning Erlan opened her eyes and got up, stroking her dizzy head. "Going to the palace to attend the banquet?"

Xinyue nodded. "Yes, the master asked the lady to dress up quickly."

Ning Erlan stood up, glanced at the dresses in the tray, nodded, and sat down in front of the dressing table for them to fiddle with.

After an hour, Ning Erlan felt that her scalp was about to be ripped off by two maids.

Looking at the powder puff in Xinyue's hand, Ning Erlan dodged subconsciously. "There's no need for this one." The feeling of smearing your face like a zombie and falling powder when you talk is really a bit nauseating.

"But Miss..."

"Okay, the time is coming, let's go out quickly."

Ning Erlan stood up, did not turn off the maids of the two, and went out first. When they reached the gate, Ning Guoan, the old lady, Ning Shuangyu and others happened to be walking towards this side.

Ning Guoan definitely attaches great importance to this banquet. Just his silver-gray sky silk Confucian gown can be seen that the sky silk is not ordinary, even if you have money, you can't buy it. The three horses in Ning Mansion are still Ning Guo Ann bought it by accident when she was out.

Ning Shuangyu and Ning Qingyan dressed up even more, and the clothes on their bodies were among the best even in the imperial city. After coming out of the prison, Ning Desheng, who looked a lot more honest, was wearing fine silk and white robes Also extremely rare.

Ning Erlan sighed in her heart, did her father feel inferior?Just arrived in the imperial city and wanted to make enemies for yourself?It's the first time he showed his face in the noble circle, so ostentatious, even if it was to save face, those noble people had never seen anything good, and Ning Guoan's behavior made them feel that he didn't take them seriously.

It's a pity that Ning Guoan was overwhelmed by joy, how could he think so much.

Ning Shaoliang and Ning Caixin were still young and were left in the mansion. Aunt Lin and the others had insufficient status and could only stay obediently. Wen, who was supposed to go with her, pushed her away on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Ning Mansion is half an hour away from the Imperial Palace. Taking advantage of this time, Ning Erlan ate some pastries in the car. Everyone knows that those banquets are not places for people to eat.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, they had to get off the carriage. Their identities were not enough to enter the gate of the palace in a carriage.

Ning Erlan followed behind Ning Guoan without looking sideways, but from the corner of her eye, she took a rough look at the layout of the palace in front of her.

The tall palace walls reminded her of the flood control dams she had seen in her previous life. People walking underground felt an indescribable sense of insignificance. The road leading to the banquet was paved with smooth bluestone.They walked through a pillar and stepped onto a long corridor with beautiful scrolls carved on the top.

From time to time, palace people walked by, but they didn't take a second look at them, just nodded to the palace people who led the way.

They didn't know how far they had traveled all the way, and they finally came to the open-air back garden where the banquet was held. They said it was the back garden, but it was better to say that it was a wide open space in the back garden.There is a high platform at the farthest point in the banquet hall, and on both sides of it are lined with tables that follow the trend.

And their position is at the very end of the case...

There were already quite a few people in the banquet hall, Ning Guoan used his eyes to measure who he was going to strike up a conversation with first, and left after finding the target.

Only the old lady and them were left.

"Which family is this lady from, why haven't I seen it before?" A lady in a satin, plain, snow-floral dress came forward and said to Ning Erlan and the others with a gentle smile on her face.

The old lady raised her eyes to look at the woman, and saw that although she was wearing a good brocade, it was not as good as theirs, so she smiled. "Madam, this is our first time attending a palace banquet."

The lady was not angry at the old lady's indifferent attitude, but smiled gently. "I heard from my master that the emperor granted Ningfu, the richest man in Shancheng, as an imperial merchant. I think this old lady should be Mrs. Ning."

"Exactly, we are the family members of the Ning family of the imperial businessman bestowed by the emperor." After being recognized, the old lady felt more face, and felt that their Ning family had some status in the imperial city, otherwise it was the first time they came to the palace banquet How did someone recognize them?The smug look on his face was even more revealed.

Several women of similar age who followed the lady looked at them without any trace.

"But having said that, this is the first time Mrs. Ning has participated in such a grand banquet, right? It's not your fault, this imperial city is not comparable to those small towns that are not eye-catching. You should pay attention, Mrs. Ning , Hehehe..." A lady of about the same age, with thin eyes and thin lips followed by the lady's left hand said kindly.

"Madam Tian, ​​don't talk nonsense, let's go to the garden over there to have a look, and don't disturb the old lady." The lady stopped Madam Tian's words, just nodded to the old lady with a smile, turned and left.

How could the old lady not be able to understand the meaning of those words after living for half a lifetime, she was really mad at her!

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! The Ning Mansion is an imperial business bestowed by the emperor, these people, these people..."

"Second Prince, King Ling is here..."
