The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 6

Ning Yuezhao turned around quickly, not daring to look at An Chen again, those dazed but slightly absent-minded eyes hurt her heart, fearing that if she continued to look at him, she would be unable to hold back, and would hug him desperately and not let go.

Every step after turning around was as heavy as lead.

When she returned to her Jinxiu Palace, Ning Yuezhao didn't care about the mountain of papers, climbed directly onto the bed, and fell asleep.

When Ning Yuezhao woke up, the sun was already in the west.

Ning Yuezhao stretched, feeling that the fatigue accumulated in the past few days had disappeared.

Qingchi in the outer room heard the movement and came in to wait for her to freshen up.

Considering that it was getting late now and there was no need to summon foreign ministers, Qingchi gave her a simple bun.

"Who is waiting in the East Palace today?" Ning Yuezhao asked casually during the dressing process.

Qingchi paused for a moment before inserting the hairpin completely into her hair.

"It's Master Jiang."

"Jiang Nian?" Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly. Also, the imperial decree had been issued for several days, and he should have reported to the Imperial Academy.

Thinking of the Queen Mother's words, An Chen's last look, Ning Yuezhao suddenly didn't know what mood to use to face Jiang Nian.

Forget it, what should come still has to come.

After simply perfecting it, Ning Yuezhao went to the front hall to process the notebooks. Today, because of the special circumstances, she moved all the notebooks to the study of Jinxiu Palace to read.

A temporary table was set up in the study for the officials who were only waiting on duty.

When Ning Yuezhao stepped into the study, Jiang Nian was already sitting there.

"My minister, see Your Highness the Princess." Seeing Ning Yuezhao approaching, Jiang Nian hurriedly got up to perform the ceremony of a monarch and minister.

Ning Yuezhao didn't ask him to get up immediately, but walked to the desk in the middle without looking sideways, sat down slowly, and said, "Stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Nian stood up calmly, without any discomfort.

Ning Yuezhao felt very displeased with Jiang Nian at the moment because of what happened to An Chen during the day, and wanted to pick something up, but Jiang Nian was so calm that she had nowhere to get angry.

It doesn't matter, Jiang Nian entered the East Palace for the first time to assist the prince in drafting the edict, so there must be some unfamiliarity, and he will find something wrong later, and it will happen, it is best to let him die to be a son-in-law. Do not think.

The memorials on the case piled up like a mountain, and Ning Yuezhao picked up a notebook and read it, and found that the notebook had been sorted out, completely according to her usual reviewing habits.

Ning Yuezhao half-closed the folder, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Nian, and their eyes met.At this time, Jiang Nian put away his cynical look, his eyes were full of seriousness, and there was a faint smile.

Ning Yuezhao withdrew her eyes in a hurry, reached out to pick up the Langhao brush, the cinnabar in the inkstone had been ground, and the thickness was moderate.The Langhao brush dipped in cinnabar wrote vermilion comments on the booklet.

The world is so big, after one batch is approved, another pile will come.Every time Ning Yuezhao finished reading a stack, Jiang Nian replaced the newly sorted booklets, took the ones she had reviewed and went back to his seat to draft the imperial edict.

From the beginning to the end, the two did not exchange a single word, but they cooperated seamlessly, and Ning Yuezhao, who was devoted to government affairs, did not have the thought of being critical.

It was not until the end of the hour that the papers were approved. Ning Yuezhao glanced at the hourglass, and it was finished half an hour earlier than usual.

It must be because there are fewer notebooks today than in the past, Ning Yuezhao thought so.

Qingchi brought a midnight snack to the front hall and put it on the table, "I finished reading it so early today? It seems that there are more books than usual!"

Ning Yuezhao, who was exercising her shoulders and neck, almost froze when she heard the words, and gave Qingchi a hard look.Over there, Jiang Nian was still drafting the last imperial edict, when he heard Qing Chi's voice, he smiled faintly and buried himself in writing again.

Knowing that he had said something he should not have said, Qingchi took the soup bowl and handed it to Ning Yuezhao graciously, "Your Highness, this is the cassava gnocchi specially made for you by the small kitchen. They said that it was late at night and the glutinous rice is not easy to digest. , and tapioca flour was used instead, try it.”

Seeing her being so doggy, Ning Yuezhao didn't bother with her any more. She scooped one up with a spoon and found it was really good, so she asked, "Is there any more?"

Qingchi said: "Yes, do you want another bowl?"

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, "Give Jiang Qing a bowl."

After leaving the last edict, Jiang Nian stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Ning Yuezhao glanced at him and lowered her head to eat the gnocchi. She felt that she was crazy, why was she so kind.

It is also an honor to be rewarded with food by the emperor.But in Jiang Nian's view, it was just a bowl of supper, without the flattered and respectful attitude of others, he ate it as soon as he took it, and ate it faster than Ning Yuezhao.

Ning Yuezhao: ...

Ning Yuezhao pressed her twitching forehead, "Qingchi, send Mr. Jiang out of the palace for me."

"Wei Chen retire."

The palace in the middle of the night is quiet and lonely.

Qing Chi carried a palace lantern and walked in front, while Jiang Nian followed behind her.

"Aunt Qingchi."

Jiang Nian suddenly yelled, Qingchi staggered and almost fell, but fortunately he stood still.

"What's the matter?" Qing Chi's voice sounded like the eve of a storm.She is the same age as Ning Yuezhao, but she has been in the palace for many years, with high seniority and high status. Newly entered palace maids and eunuchs, or palace people who fawn on her will call her this respectfully.She usually feels quite comfortable with this title, but she is not calm when faced with this man who is obviously a few years older than her calling her that.

"Your Highness seems to hate me a little..." Jiang Nian said in distress, "Do you know why? Aunt Qingchi."

Qingchi's heart was already going crazy, and he said coolly: "Maybe you are not likable, my lord!"

Jiang Nian didn't take it seriously, "Really? Everyone thinks that I have a good family background, good looks, good character, and good knowledge. Women in the imperial capital who want to marry me are all lined up outside the city gate."

"Really." Qingchi continued to sneer, and then stuffed the palace lantern into his hand, "In this case, the amazingly talented and beautiful Mr. Jiang can definitely leave the palace by himself, and the slaves will leave first!"

After finishing speaking, Qingchi shook his head and left.

Jiang Nian was not angry either, he walked around alone with the lantern, and met a sleepy court lady hiding under the corridor.He showed his identity, and cleverly expressed the fact that he entered the palace for the first time, was unfamiliar with the route, and lost his way.

The little maid suddenly saw a man who looked better than Pan An coming to talk to her, she was both surprised and happy, and when she heard that this man was the famous Xinke champion Lang, she was even more happy, and immediately volunteered to send him to the palace. at the door.

The little palace maid who had just entered the palace was always very curious about such a big man, and she chattered endlessly along the way, and Jiang Nian answered all her questions with a very good temper.

At the palace gate, Jiang Nian thanked her again.The little maid watched him walk out of the palace gracefully and stood where he was, without recovering for a long time.

When Qingchi returned to Jinxiu Palace, he angrily told Ning Yuezhao about Jiang Nian, scolding him for not knowing what to do!
Ning Yuezhao felt much more at ease after hearing this, "I don't know who told me triumphantly last time, who just entered the palace now, who would dare to call her 'aunt' respectfully."

Qingchi was out of breath, "Your Highness, you didn't hear his tone, it was clearly intentional, he just wanted to laugh at me!"

Ning Yuezhao thought about Jiang Nian's temperament, and the latter was indeed more likely.So, she also echoed and scolded Jiang Nian, "This guy doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and has no one in his eyes. It's better to get lost and be killed by the guards as an assassin on the spot!"

"I came back too soon, I should find some people, wrap him in a sack and drag him to a dark place to beat him up!" Qingchi was still indignant.

Jiang Nian, who had already returned to the Chiang Mansion over there, was taking a comfortable bath when he suddenly sneezed several times.

"Did you catch a cold?" Jiang Nian touched his nose and asked.

Here, Ning Yuezhao and Qingchi did not wait for the news that Jiang Nian was accidentally killed by a guard. Instead, another rumor quickly spread in the palace the next day.

That night, Jiang Nian entered the palace to wait for the imperial edict, and acted properly, which pleased Her Highness the Princess, and Her Highness even rewarded Jiang Nian with his supper.

When this rumor reached Ning Yuezhao's ears, she was not calm anymore.

On this day, Ning Yuezhao went to Shenglong Hall to visit the queen as usual.However, the strange thing is that just in the front hall, I heard talking and laughing from the back hall.

Ning Yuezhao felt very shocked, she clearly heard the voice of the mother emperor mixed in, you know, since her father left, she has never heard her mother's hearty laughter.

With doubts, Ning Yuezhao stepped into the apse.

But I saw the queen leaning on the pillow, half lying on the bed.A round stool was placed in front of the bed, and Jiang Nian was sitting there, not knowing what to say to the queen, which made the queen and the maids serving in the palace laugh out loud.

"The sons and ministers see the mother emperor."

"Azhao is here, come and sit." Seeing Ning Yuezhao coming, the queen smiled and beckoned her to sit by the bed too.

Jiang Nian stood up and saluted, "My minister joins Your Highness the Princess."

Ning Yuezhao sat down on another stool moved by the maid, and said with some displeasure, "Why are you here?"

"His Royal Highness, it's my turn to enter the palace today." Jiang Nian replied while kneeling.

The empress said: "It was the decree from Zhenchuan that Jiang Qing entered the palace earlier and came to the Dragon Palace to talk."

Seeing that the empress was obviously going to help Jiang Nian, Ning Yuezhao couldn't say anything, "Let's get back down."

The queen said: "I am a little tired, Jiang Qing will go to the front palace first, and the others will retreat first."

Soon, only Empress Ning Yue Zhaohe was left in the palace.

"Azhao, what do you think of Jiang Nian?" the queen asked lightly.

Ning Yuezhao felt that this question was so difficult to answer, she instinctively wanted to answer, not so good, arrogant, self-righteous, and narcissistic!But smelling the bitter medicinal fragrance in this room, she finally said nothing.

The queen sighed inaudibly, "I have read all the imperial edicts he drafted. The words and sentences are exquisite, and he understands the meaning. It is really not easy to reach this level when drafting for the first time. With time and practice, He will surely become a good material to assist the country."

"I admit that Jiang Nian is indeed talented. I feel that to give full play to his talents, he doesn't necessarily have to be the emperor's husband. It's the same for him to be in the cabinet." Ning Yuezhao plucked up his courage and said this sentence talk.After finishing speaking, she did not forget to look carefully at the Queen's expression.

"Azhao." The queen called her suddenly, "In my life, I only regret betraying your father for nine years. Even if Xiao Pingyuan never betrayed me because of concerns about the family, I would still choose your father in the end."

Ning Yuezhao was shocked.
