The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 8
Xiao Er graciously took them to the private room on the second floor, and went down to serve tea.

"Let go, how decent!" Just now, he didn't pay attention and took advantage of him, but now Ning Yuezhao came back to his senses, and slammed his hand away.

Then Yan Mo, who followed, drew out his sword and pointed at Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian showed no fear on his face, "There were a lot of people outside just now, it was the humble minister who offended His Highness, but the humble minister did not have any malicious intentions, guard Yan needn't be like this." After speaking, Jiang Nian stretched out his hand and flicked lightly on the edge of the sword.

Yan Mo didn't care at first, but soon a numbness spread from the tiger's mouth to his entire arm. In order to avoid the embarrassment of the sword falling to the ground, he had to try his best to put the sword back into its sheath. Because of the paralysis, his right hand could only hang down by his side, motionless.

Jiang Nian was still smiling, "Thank you, Guard Yan, for your mercy."

Ning Yuezhao felt strange and wanted to say something.At this time, Xiao Er came up with a teacup and snacks, "You two guests, sit down quickly, and the Zhou Yi pot will be on the stage soon. This is tea, please use it slowly."

Forget it, Ning Yuezhao stopped thinking about what was wrong just now, sat down side by side with Jiang Nian, and concentrated on looking at the table downstairs.

I don't know, how did the father pass on among the people?

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray long gown slowly walking up to the central platform on the first floor. This man was dark and thin, with a Chinese character face and mustache, quite comical.But I saw that he was holding a small purple clay pot in one hand, the body of the pot was already very black and shiny after playing with it for a long time.

Zhou Yihu stood still on the stage, and the purple clay teapot was placed on the table in front of him.

A pot of tea, a story, these are his rules.

After clearing his throat, Zhou Yihu began to tell the story.

"Last time, I mentioned that the imperial husband is about to go to war, but the empress will see him off in the future, so the imperial husband can only turn around lonely and go to the frontier..."

Because the empress is still in power, Zhou Yihu's story does not specify which dynasty it is in, but anyone who is older knows that he is talking about the story of the empress of the Daxing dynasty and her deceased husband.

Jiang Nian had roughly introduced the story to Ning Yuezhao.

It is said that this imperial husband's previous life was the Qingyang Emperor in the sky, the king of the three realms.At a heavenly banquet, Emperor Qingyang met the Empress's previous life, Nine Heavens Xuannv.Nine Heavens Xuannv and Emperor Qingyang fell in love with each other at first sight, and they fell in love with each other during the conversation.

Nine-Tian Xuannv's senior brother, Feng Ping Shangxian, has admired her for a long time, but Nine-Tian Xuannv has always kept a distance from him. Feng Ping is jealous when he sees the two having a happy conversation.

Feng Ping broke the seal of the ancient evil god, and Emperor Qingyang exhausted his divine power to seal it again in order to save the common people.The divine body of Emperor Qingyang fell into a deep sleep, and the last trace of spiritual consciousness descended to the mortal world to cross the catastrophe.

Jiutian Xuannv also followed Qingyang Emperor, but Feng Ping tricked Jiutian Xuannv into drinking Mengpo soup in the name of farewell, forgetting the past.

In the human world, Nine Heavens Xuannv was reincarnated as the empress, Emperor Qingyang became the husband of the emperor, and Feng Ping was the general who was childhood sweetheart with the empress.

Originally, according to the destiny, the empress and the imperial husband are husband and wife in this life, working together to create a prosperous and prosperous world, and then they will overcome the catastrophe together and ascend to the throne.However, because Feng Ping intervened to obstruct and destroy the relationship between the empress and her husband, although the two finally became husband and wife, they did not agree.

Ning Yuezhao glanced at Zhou Yihu, who spoke with eloquence, "This guy is pretty good at making things up."

Jiang Nian was carelessly peeling the peanuts, and before he knew it, the peanut shells had piled up into a hill, "The common people, that's what they like to hear."

Jiang Nian pushed the peeled peanut kernels in front of Ning Yuezhao, "It's true, it's false, it's false, it's just for fun."

Ning Yuezhao, who has always been used to being served by others, was not polite to Jiang Nian, and started eating directly, "I don't know if Zhou Yihu has enmity with the Xiao family, this Fengping is simply useless."

At this moment, Zhou Yihu was preaching, "On the battlefield, the two armies fought against each other. The emperor took the lead, with a silver gun in his hand, and the enemy could not get close to him after several sieges. The general who holds the military power originally intended to fight on the battlefield The general put the emperor's husband to death, so the general took advantage of no one's attention and shot a cold arrow. The emperor who was killing the enemy in front of the battle fell off his horse because his horse was injured. Wanting to know what happened next, Let's listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yihu picked up the teapot that had been placed on the table earlier, and drank a pot of tea in one gulp.

Jiang Nian smiled, "History is always written by the victors. Besides, in life, how can you not be burdened by family relationships?"

Ning Yuezhao looked at him sideways, thoughtfully, "If you were, would you marry a woman you don't love for the sake of your family, and carefully curry favor with her?"

"I won't." Jiang Nian peeled a peanut for himself, "I will only marry the woman I like."

Ning Yuezhao felt her heart beating fast, "Then what are you going to do when my mother bestows a marriage?"

"Of course it's thanks to Lord Long En!" Jiang Nian said with a smile.

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't marry a woman you don't love because of your family background?" Ning Yuezhao's eyes widened. How could this man backtrack?

Jiang Nian tossed the peanut kernel up, then ate it with his mouth, and then said slowly: "I thought it was obvious to express my heart to the princess at the Qionglin Banquet, but it seems that the princess didn't understand, so the minister had no choice but to say more." Once." He paused, then looked at Ning Yuezhao seriously, "I, Jiang Nian, only love Ning Yuezhao in my life!"

Ning Yuezhao seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt, and she remained silent for a while.

Yan Mo, who had been standing quietly by the side, also showed a surprised expression, while Jing Ming showed an excited expression. He did not expect that the person in front of him turned out to be a princess disguised as a man, and his son actually confessed his love so boldly.

Seeing that Ning Yuezhao was silent, Jiang Nian boldly stretched out his hand to hold her hand and say something, but unfortunately, a light knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

But I saw a girl with a double bun, holding an empty tray in her hand, standing by the door with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you two guests, if you think my father's speech is not bad, you can reward me with some money! "

It turned out that he was here to ask for a reward for Zhou Yihu. Jiang Nian often came here, and he was familiar with this kid for a long time, so he gestured to Jing Ming.

Jing Ming took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the tray, "Here, our son rewards you."

The little girl didn't leave after thanking her, but looked at Ning Yuezhao timidly, "Does this young master think my father's speech is not good?"

"How could it be?" Ning Yuezhao smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, the child came in time, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with Jiang Nian's confession.After finishing speaking, Ning Yuezhao looked at Yan Mo, but Yan Mo smiled back at her wryly, he has no money with him either!

The little girl continued: "Young Master, if you feel that my father's speech is not good, you can tell me, and I will ask him to correct it. My father is also a scholar, but my mother is ill, so he has no choice but to rely on it to make money. ..."

"Okay!" Jiang Nian interrupted the little girl, and gestured to Jing Ming again, "I have been saying the same lines for many years, and I don't know how to change them."

The little girl took another bounty from Jingming, said some auspicious words, then stuck out her tongue at Ning Yuezhao, and bounced away.

Jiang Nian said: "When I first came here to listen to books, this little girl also said the same thing."

Ning Yuezhao smiled and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to the palace."

"It's a rare time to come out, don't you want to stop shopping?" Jiang Nian tried to persuade him to stay.

"I'm tired." After speaking, Ning Yuezhao stopped looking at Jiang Nian and walked out, while Yan Mo followed her closely.

Jiang Nian had no choice but to walk a few steps quickly to her side, "Alright then, I'll take you to the gate of the palace."

At this time, Ning Yuezhao had already reached the stairs, and was about to reject Jiang Nian, when someone shouted, "Huh? Isn't this Jing Chen?"

This man was dressed in a dark green long gown embroidered with silk, and his facial features were fairly regular. Around his waist was a carp leaping dragon gate pendant carved from suet and white jade. He was shaking a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be unrestrained. .

Jingchen is Jiang Nian's nickname.

There seemed to be a fire burning in Jiang Nian's heart, which made him restless, but his face remained calm, "Brother Chuyun."

"Jingchen is too boring. Everyone invited you to get drunk today. You said that you will enter the palace today to wait for the imperial edict. It turned out to be an excuse!" This person's name is Lu Ji, and his character is Chuyun. A Jinshi, with good grades in the imperial examination, was hand-picked as a scholar of the Imperial Academy.His father is Lu Jiansheng, Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he is a concubine, he is more favored than his son in the family.

At this moment, Lu Ji had an expression of "you lied and I caught you and see what you can do", while Jiang Nian remained the same and responded to all changes.

"Jing Chen?"

A few more young people came over. They were all Jinshi in the same discipline as Jiang Nian, and they came to say hello.

"You can't run away now, let's get drunk!" Lu Ji stopped Jiang Nian's shoulder, and then looked at Ning Yuezhao, "This brother also looks familiar, have we met somewhere?"

In fact, Ning Yuezhao didn't have much impression of these people. On the day of the Qionglin Banquet, most of the scholars glanced at her from a distance, and who dared to stare at Her Highness the Princess all the time.In addition, Shu Jishi had to study in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and after three years passed the examination before he could stay in the capital, and these people were not eligible to go to the imperial court.Furthermore, Ning Yuezhao who was in full attire that day and Ning Yuezhao who was in men's attire now, there is still a difference in appearance.

"This is my distant cousin. It's a pity that Chunwei failed the rankings. I didn't do it on purpose today, but my cousin is going back to his hometown tomorrow. I want to practice for him today, so I'm sorry." Naturally, Ning Yuezhao's identity cannot be revealed here, Jiang Nian can only lie casually, and fortunately these people did not recognize her.

Ning Yuezhao said generously: "I don't care, cousin, you can go drunk with your colleagues, I will go back first."

After finishing speaking, she wanted to leave, but Lu Ji grabbed her arm, "Don't, Jingchen's cousin is also everyone's brother, let's get drunk together, and we will practice it for you together!"

Ning Yuezhao pressed Tiao Tiao's temple, this man is called Lu Ji, right? Three years later, she must send him to a small border county as the county magistrate!

Jiang Nian walked between the two of them, and separated them calmly, "This is the best of both worlds, cousin, come with us!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Nian turned to look at Ning Yuezhao, and said in a low voice, "These people are either the concubine scholars of the present department, or the top three Jinshi scholars who are still waiting to be assigned official positions in the official department. Why don't you take this opportunity to investigate?"

Because of the noise in the teahouse and Jiang Nian's back was facing the others, Lu Ji and the others couldn't hear what he said.

Thus, a group of people arrived at Zuijinzhao Restaurant in a mighty manner.

In the private room, before the dishes were all served, Lu Ji had already toasted one by one with the jug in his hand. It could be seen that he was a man with long sleeves and a good dancer.

"Brother Lin Xian, I would like to offer you a toast. I wish you three consecutive championships in the next year, and you will be named on the gold list!"

Jiang Nian lied to everyone that Ning Yuezhao was his distant cousin named Lin Yue.

Ning Yuezhao could only pick up the wine glass, "Borrow a good word from Brother Lu."

Lu Ji came to Jiang Nian's side, "Jing Chen, I heard that the Queen loves you very much, it seems that it won't be long before we will call you Prince Consort!"

Jiang Nian suddenly suppressed his smile, "There is no sign of horoscope, you are all Jinshi, disciples of the emperor, don't learn from those ignorant women and children who are chasing after wind and shadow."

Lu Ji didn't take it seriously, "Come on, it's not in the Imperial Academy right now, why is Jing Chen so serious."

Before Jiang Nian could speak, someone at the same table said: "Brother Jiang is not unreasonable to be cautious. I heard that Her Royal Highness has a close relationship with Doctor An of the Imperial Hospital."

Another person said: "I know this doctor An, who was rescued by Her Royal Highness seven years ago. The two are childhood sweethearts, and their friendship is very good!"

Lu Ji said disdainfully: "What is the rank of the imperial doctor, what is Jing Chen's status, even if the empress does not choose Jing Chen, it is absolutely impossible to choose an imperial doctor from a humble background."

Jiang Nian glanced at Ning Yuezhao, and saw that she was holding a wine glass in her hand and pursing her lips slightly, apparently Lu Ji's words made her unhappy.So, he could only speak out, "The selection of a son-in-law by the Tian family is something that we ministers can discuss arbitrarily, let's talk about something else."

Lu Ji was originally a person with an exquisite mind, but he could still talk freely when changing the topic, and the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly became lively again.

Listening to their high-spirited talk, Ning Yuezhao also had some calculations in her heart.

At the end of the banquet, Lu Ji was unavoidably drunk, but the other people were still sober, and everyone said goodbye to each other at the gate of today's drunkenness.

Lu Ji, who had already laid it all on the boy, still did not forget to encourage Ning Yuezhao, "Hi... Brother Lin Xian has a smooth journey, three years later, let's get drunk again... well, if you don't get drunk, you won't return..."

"Thank you brother Lu for your good words..."

Soon, everyone left, leaving only Ning Yuezhao, Jiang Nian, Yan Mo and Jing Ming.

At this time, it was already dark, and the willows were on the moon.

Ning Yuezhao looked at Jiang Nian, who had blurred eyes, and said to Jing Ming, "Send your son back to the mansion, and Yan Mo and I will go back by ourselves."

"No!" Jiang Nian, who was already a little drunk, strongly objected, "I brought you out, so I must send you back!"

Ning Yuezhao was helpless, and based on the principle of not haggling with drunks, she stopped insisting.

Same as when they came, Yan Mo and Jing Ming sat outside the carriage.

In the dark carriage, Ning Yuezhao felt a little out of breath, and Jiang Nian, who smelled of alcohol, approached her and said in a very firm tone, "Your Highness, would you like to make a deal with me?"
