The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 3 childhood sweethearts
She was fascinated by Jiang Nian's sword dance... Ning Yuezhao's brocade shoes stopped, and she suddenly felt powerless. Is this maid blind?She was so angry that she couldn't speak, okay?

But I heard the Queen whisper: "Really? I was born in a famous family, and he is both civil and military. I knew that Jiang Nian was a good boy."

"Your Majesty, I feel that there is no one better than Jiang Zhuangyuan in the Daxing Dynasty. If a woman can marry him, her life will be worthwhile."

This court lady was very good at talking, she clearly grasped what the empress was thinking, and expressed it cleverly.

Sure enough, the empress was overjoyed after listening to Longxin, and ordered someone to reward the palace lady.

The court lady got a big reward, and left happily, but when she retreated to the door, she saw Ning Yuezhao standing outside the door with a displeased expression on her face, she was so frightened that her legs gave way, and she knelt down, "Servant... see Your Highness... ..."

Ning Yuezhao knew that these little maids and eunuchs like to observe her preferences and report to the queen, and the queen will be rewarded if she finds out.Usually she wouldn't bother with them, but what the maid said today was totally inconsistent with the facts.

Glancing at the shivering court lady kneeling on the ground, Ning Yuezhao's vermilion lips moved slightly, and she only said one word, "Get lost."

The maid immediately didn't dare to delay any longer, she almost scrambled out of Rising Dragon Hall.

"Is Ah Zhao here?" The queen's voice came from the bedroom.

Ning Yuezhao calmed down her emotions and stepped into the room.What came to the nostrils was the lingering smell of medicine in the Hall of Rising Dragon. The Queen was half lying on the pillow, her face was still pale, but she was in good spirits.

"See Queen Mother."

"You don't need to be too polite, sit next to me." The empress waved to her.

Ning Yuezhao sat down by the bed, took the Queen's hand, and asked, "The Queen looks good today, so why don't you go to bed so late."

The Empress laughed and said: "I am very interested in the Qionglin Banquet, so I just wait for the people to report it, and I am reluctant to sleep. Besides, you are a filial child, you must come to see me, so just wait, it's okay."

"I'd rather see your mother rest well. If you always have to wait until your arrival before going to bed, I won't dare to visit you at night from now on."

"You child!" The queen shook her head helplessly, "I promise you, there will be no next time."

Only then did Ning Yuezhao smile with satisfaction.

The queen said again: "Azhao met Jiang Nian today, what do you think?"

Hearing this name, Ning Yuezhao was a little unhappy again, so she could only say: "It's not very good, I'm proud of my talent, and I'm a sensationalist."

"You child, what you say is not what you mean." The queen smiled and patted her hand lightly, "I met him when I was picking up scholars in the Golden Palace. He is indeed a rare talent. If he can be your husband-in-law, I will Even die in peace."

Ning Yuezhao had also read Jiang Nian's article, and had to admit that it was a rare literary talent.But she already had her own heart, and no matter how good Jiang Nian was, he couldn't catch her eyes.What's more, seeing him made her feel unhappy.

"Emperor Mother, the ministers now only want to put the country and the country as the most important thing, and don't care about the children's personal relationship."

The Empress's way of nature, she is just making excuses, it doesn't matter, there will be a long time to come.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Ning Yuezhao left in fear of disturbing the queen's rest.

The spring night was still a bit chilly. Ning Yuezhao stepped out of the Ascending Dragon Hall, but Qingchi and Yan Mo were not seen. There was a slender white figure waiting for her under the long corridor.

Even in the dark of night, she recognized who it was at a glance.

Ning Yuezhao walked slowly to that person, and softly called out, "An Chen."

Under the bright red palace lanterns, An Chen was dressed in white clothes, and his already handsome appearance added a touch of femininity. Coupled with his half-closed eyes at the moment, it aroused infinite pity.

An Chen said: "See Her Royal Highness." He was about to kneel down, but Ning Yuezhao stopped him.

"What is the relationship between you and me, do you still want to perform these vain rituals?" Ning Yuezhao was a little angry.

An Chen turned his face away, the long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, "What is my identity, how dare I talk about love with His Highness, when His Highness and Jiang Zhuangyuan get married, I can give An Chen a place in the palace Thank goodness already."

It turned out that he had also heard about what happened tonight, and Ning Yuezhao was furious again when he thought of those little maids and eunuchs who made up and assigned her indiscriminately, but this one had to be coaxed first.

Ning Yuezhao took a step forward, tugged at his arm, and jokingly said, "Doctor An looks like this, but are you jealous?"

Hearing what she said, An Chen blushed.Ever since the Empress fell ill, an imperial doctor had to be on duty every night in the side hall of the Ascending Dragon Hall. It happened to be his turn tonight, and after hearing the words of the maids and eunuchs, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, so he went to this corridor to wait for her.Now that she has taken the initiative to show her affection, An Chen is naturally not good at taking Joe anymore.

"sorry."

"Fool!" Ning Yuezhao wrapped his arms around his waist, pressed his face against his chest, and greedily inhaled the bitter fragrance of herbs on his body, "The Queen Mother wants Jiang Nian to be my son-in-law, and she is currently ill. , I don’t want to provoke her, so I can only deal with it slowly. It’s fine if others misunderstand me, but if you are angry with me, what should I do? What’s the point of me insisting on it?”

An Chen hugged her tightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Ning Yuezhao and An Chen met six years ago. At that time, on the Qingming Festival on the eighth day of March, she followed her mother to the Taimiao Temple to worship her ancestors. After completing the tedious rituals, she rested in the palace.

She was only ten years old at the time and was very playful. She took her bodyguard Yan Mo and ran to the back mountain to play. Just in time, she ran into a boy who was a year or two older than him, and was hanged from a tree by a middle-aged man and beaten.

The boy was skinny and his frail wrists were bloodstained by the rough hemp rope.The clothes on his body were also torn by the thick thorns, revealing the scars of turning flesh.However, the middle-aged man had no intention of stopping at all. He beat the boy fiercely while cursing, "Kill you little bastard!"

Ning Yuezhao was furious at the time, "Stop!"

The middle-aged man turned his head and saw that it was a little girl. He raised his hand and wanted to smoke her too.

Yan Mo, as the bodyguard personally selected by the empress, how could this rude man touch Ning Yuezhao's clothes.

When the boy was rescued, he was exhaling more and breathing less.

In the end, Ning Yuezhao asked Yan Mo to hang the middle-aged man on a tree, and she picked up the thorns and beat him hard to relieve her anger.

Ning Yuezhao asked Yan Mo to carry the boy back to the palace. The queen was very angry at her behavior of leaving the palace privately and bringing an outsider back, but after seeing the scarred boy, she also felt compassion and sent a message to the imperial doctor. Come and treat him.

The empress ordered someone to investigate the boy's life experience. It turned out that the boy's mother was a widow, and she couldn't live anymore, so she took him to remarry to that middle-aged man. Apart from a few acres of Susukida at home, this man likes to drink heavily and drink. He wanted to hit someone when he was drunk, and the boy and his mother were often beaten by the man.Then the man fell into the habit of gambling, and lost the house, several acres of Susukida, and the boy's mother.Without a foothold, the middle-aged man nestled on the mountain. His hands were itchy and he had no money to gamble, so he simply hung up the boy and beat him.When Ning Yuezhao and Yan Mo ran into each other, the boy had already been hanged and beaten for two days, and the imperial doctor said that if it was too late, he might even die.

The boy was in a coma for three days and three nights, and Ning Yuezhao surrounded the boy every day except eating and sleeping, even though she was still young at that time and couldn't help much.

After the boy woke up, he shrank in the corner of the bed like a frightened deer, not speaking, and he did not dare to eat what was brought to him, let alone drink medicine.

Maybe it was Ning Yuezhao who saved him, and the boy only got close to her, but in the end Ning Yuezhao coaxed him to take the medicine and some food.

After the boy recovered from his injury, he only dared to talk to Ning Yuezhao, and was silent the rest of the time.

Seeing that the boy's identity was fine and Ning Yuezhao was a playful age, the empress acquiesced in allowing the boy to stay in the palace.

Later, Ning Yuezhao had a high fever once, and the boy was extremely nervous.After being treated by the imperial doctor, Ning Yuezhao recovered, and the boy remembered this scene in his heart.

He who never spoke, knelt in front of the imperial doctor, and spoke for the first time in front of everyone, "My lord, please accept me as an apprentice, I want to study medicine."

This boy is An Chen, and that imperial doctor is Ling Fu Yuan, the current imperial physician of the imperial hospital.

Together for six years, the friendship between Ning Yuezhao and An Chen has already surpassed that of playmates.But An Chen's humble background has always created a gap between them.

"If I didn't choose to study medicine back then, I would have chosen to pursue an official career." An Chen said apologetically, "If I were the number one scholar in high school today, you wouldn't have to be so embarrassing."

Ning Yuezhao patted him on the back lightly, "Just do what you like and don't think too much about it."

Even if An Chen chose to study and become an official, the empress could not have preferred him to be her husband.Jiang Nian is the top scholar in the new discipline, with a great reputation, the empress is more interested in the Jiang family behind him, a century-old family, the son of powerful officials.What the queen wants is someone who is strong enough to assist her in guarding the country.

An Chen rubbed his chin on her shoulder, didn't speak, and said silently in his heart, what I like is to keep you safe for the rest of your life, even if your hand rejuvenates, so what, it can cure diseases but not the country.

"Ahem..." Qingchi interrupted the two embarrassedly, "Your Highness, it's time to go back to the palace."

She also didn't want to be this ignorant person, it's just that the two of them have been together for such a long time, so they will inevitably attract others' attention.

Ning Yuezhao was reluctant to leave An Chen's embrace, "I'm leaving."

An Chen nodded and watched her leave reluctantly.

The next day, all the officials found that the queen, who had been ill for a long time, was in a rare spirit.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Ning Yuezhao stood quietly beside the empress, and she was also happy to see the empress's complexion improved.

"Everyone is flat." The queen on the dragon chair raised her hand to support her, "Now that the ranking of the top three scholars in the imperial examination has been determined, it is time to confer official positions as usual. What's your opinion?"

As soon as the empress said this, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay. There are old rules to follow regarding the awarding of the top three Jinshi's official positions, so what else is there to discuss?
However, all the people in the court are human beings. Pay attention to the performance of the empress dowager yesterday, and everyone will understand——

The queen wants to elevate the position of the champion of the new department, so that he can help him to the top!
As a result, officials from the same team as Jiang Qixi immediately came out, "His Majesty, I think that this year's first-class Jinshi is an extremely rare talent, why don't you make an exception to improve your rank so that you can reuse it!"

Someone took the lead, and someone below immediately followed suit, "My minister thinks that the rank of a first-class Jinshi can be raised by half a rank, and Shu Jishi and other Jinshi can still be awarded officials according to the usual practice."

The queen pondered for a while, and felt that it was not easy to improve too much, so she was about to accept it.

Ning Yuezhao hurriedly said, "Emperor Mother, I think it's wrong!"

　Please support us a lot, thank you!
