The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 529 Red Yeast Powder (16)
After the Hengluo envoy was settled in the court, Jiang Yan was so angry that he almost used the army to pry open the door of King Ning's mansion.Elder Liu Ge thought over and over again, and stopped him: "Your Majesty, it is about the honor and disgrace of the country. Ning Ci is a person with a heart, so she naturally knows what the consequences of winning or losing will be. Now that her son is young and her husband is unparalleled in love, I'm afraid that if I fail the envoy's challenge, it will lead to some bad results."

Jiang Yan was a little irritable: "Could it be possible that I will eat her? As long as she really fights with strength, even if she loses, I will not blame her!"

Shen Yuanhui stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Hengluo people intend to provoke this time. If they lose, it will naturally hurt the face of the Great Zhou. If they win, it is inevitable that they will cheat and refuse to admit it. They will provoke again and again. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, the son of King Ning I have always doted on Miss Ning, so naturally I don't want Miss Ning to make any mistakes because of such an innocent disaster..."

Ever since Jiang Yan bestowed the marriage, King Ning has also been unwell and hasn't been in court for a long time. When Prime Minister Yang heard Shen Yuanhui's words, he couldn't help but groan: "My lord Shen, it's about the honor and disgrace of the country, so why should this little girl be allowed to act recklessly? Thank you." She is still the representative of Jiangnan who won the competition. With such a heart, even if she wins and becomes the general in charge of the imperial food in the big palace, how can she be expected to serve the country sincerely? The truth is, I think that with this woman's She is no longer worthy of the title of female officer!"

Jiang Yan glanced at Prime Minister Yang, and suddenly changed the subject: "What Prime Minister Yang means is that as long as Ning Ci fights, he will be worthy of the title of female official?"

Prime Minister Yang was justified: "As a citizen of the Great Zhou, it is my duty to face the battle. Whether she is worthy of the title of a female official depends on her personal fortune!"

The banquet was scheduled for five days later, within these five days, Ning Ci was bound to be persuaded to fight.

But what was Ning Ci doing at that time?
It was the turn of spring and summer, and the weather was fine but not so hot. In the back garden of Prince Ning's Mansion, the sound of children playing made the whole palace come alive.

Jixiang and the others entered the palace for the first time. Because Princess Jing suppressed Jiang Xuyang at the beginning, the Jing family played tricks behind their backs, and threw Jiang Xuyang to such a corner where no birds could lay eggs, making him a happy prince, Duan Min Compared with Prince Ning's Mansion, the Wang's Mansion is really far behind by a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Ji Xiang sat in the gazebo, looking at the white marble table in front of him, he didn't dare to replay the teacup.

"I didn't expect Prince Ning's Mansion to be so beautiful." Jixiang didn't read any books, and didn't know any fancy words to describe, but every sentence came from his heart.

Yuan Bao and the others were playing peek-a-boo with Xiao Yuer, and some adults were chatting, Jiang Xuyang said cheerfully: "Your family has spent so long eating and drinking in this prince's mansion, this prince can finally earn some money today, who Don't stop me, Ning Ci, if we don't bring out something decent to entertain us today, we won't leave!"

Liu Minyuan gave him a sideways look: "Then you should hurry up and find the wing, and don't go back!"

Jiang Xuyang glanced at her, there was an inexplicable affection in the eyes of the two of them, Zhang Lan touched Ning Ci's arm, and said with a smile: "Miss Liu made an appointment with the Sixth Prince yesterday, we saw it!"

Ning Ci raised her eyebrows and looked at the two people who were flirting with each other, and said concisely: "You... have an appointment? Come, come, tell us quickly, what are your appointments?"

The two were so ashamed and indignant when they were questioned, they united in the end and pointed their finger at Ning Ci.

Liu Minyuan said: "Ning Ci, aren't you afraid that the emperor will give you a crime of resisting the decree!"

Jiang Xuyang hummed: "What is she afraid of? Now that she has a son, everything is going well. Even if she is taken to the execution ground, this amazing husband will bring her back!"

Jiang Chengye didn't want to get entangled with this idiot at all, and stared at his son who was playing not far away.

Liu Minyuan picked up the topic, and there is no need to cover up the intention of everyone coming here today. The most worrying thing is Jixiang. She held Ning Ci's hand and persuaded her: "We little women and children don't understand Chaozheng, but the lord has told us that this is very powerful. This Hengluo person wants to make trouble for you, and it is not an option for you to just hide!"

Ning Ci smiled, but didn't answer.

Zhang Lan couldn't help but said, "If you had accepted the challenge from the beginning, you would be able to prepare well now. I also heard that the emperor has invited many people to come, right? Ning Ci, is it because you are not sure that you don't agree?" I think no matter what, you should tell the emperor, lest everyone misunderstand you now. Originally, you won the game and became the representative of our Jiangnan. Maybe you will be the first in Dazhou in the future. Female officer, but now you are avoiding it, this matter is related to the honor and disgrace of the country, don't you give others the opportunity to see you splashing dirty water!?"

Ning Ci looked at Jiang Xuyang: "The emperor asked you to be lobbyists?"

Jiang Xuyang coughed twice, noncommittal.

Ning Ci got up slowly, and dragged out a long piece of fine clothes on the ground, she looked at the little fish playing in the distance, and said slowly: "The truth is actually very simple, we only want to live a simple life, this time it is Messenger of Hengluo, who knows what kind of messenger will come next time? If anyone comes to me, I will agree to fight. I am afraid that I will not have a peaceful life in the future. To cling to the goal of a high-ranking person. This precedent is not easy to open casually, once opened, it will not be easy to close."

Thinking about it this way, her plan seemed to make sense.

Ning Ci seemed to have made up her mind, and everyone couldn't force her anymore, so she simply put aside those troublesome things and played happily with a few children for an afternoon, and the day was over like this.

In the evening, Jiang Chengye embraced his daughter-in-law in the backyard to enjoy the shade.

After finally coaxing his son to sleep, the world between these two seemed rare and beautiful.

"Aren't you bothered by this every day?" Jiang Chengye asked casually while playing with her hair.

Ning Ci sighed softly: "I've been bored for a long time." After thinking about it, she asked him again: "Has Yan Yi come back?"

Jiang Chengye pondered for a moment: "It takes ten days to go to Dongqiao casually from here, and it takes five days if you rush a little non-stop. It's not so fast once you go back and forth."

Ning Ci turned around and nestled into Jiang Chengye's arms: "Do you think I'm thinking too much?"

Jiang Chengye smiled: "This matter is complicated, you should think more about it." He raised his hand and pinched her chin, with a smile in his eyes: "Say, shouldn't it be time to discuss terms with Jiang Yan? For example... if you win, you will get married right away."

Ning Ci's response was to give him a "bah".

The two young couples were living alone in the courtyard, when suddenly there was a light cough from behind.

Ning Ci and Jiang Chengye turned their heads at the same time, and saw King Ning standing in the courtyard at some point.
