Chapter 9 How to Trade
The carriage galloped, and the wind blew away the curtains. Jiang Nian Qingjun's face was clear under the moonlight, but he was not drunk at all.

The aroma of wine seemed to flow in the carriage, and Ning Yuezhao was shocked by his sudden words.

Before Ning Yuezhao opened his mouth, Jiang Nian said again: "Your Majesty is seriously ill now, it is impossible for her to let His Majesty be with that person. The imperial physician ordered that His Majesty's illness should not be stimulated. His Highness has always been filial, so what should be done should not be used." I come to teach you. I know that His Highness never likes me, and what I want is nothing more than the glory of the Jiang family. You and I take what we need, how about being a nominal couple?"

Ning Yuezhao narrowed her eyes and looked at him: "Is it just for the sake of glory and wealth? Then why did you do so many things before?"

Jiang Nian distanced himself from her and leaned his back against the wall of the carriage, "Your Highness, even if it's an act, don't you put your heart into it? Shouldn't we set an example for the world? Or do you think that a pair of princesses and concubines who seem to be divorced from each other will be the best in the future?" The empress and husband of the emperor are more popular with the people?"

His words seem reasonable, but they give people an indescribable sense of contradiction.Ning Yuezhao was not in a hurry to make a decision, and said, "I'll think about it."

The air in the carriage seemed to be frozen, and neither of them spoke anymore, and just like that, the carriage wobbled to the gate of the palace.Ning Yuezhao got off the carriage directly and entered the palace without looking back.

When the heavy door closed in front of his eyes, Jiang Nian took a deep breath and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.

It was slightly cold in the palace late at night, probably because of the alcohol, but Ning Yuezhao felt his head was a little heavy.

Qingchi was getting impatient waiting in Jinxiu Palace, he kept pacing up and down in the square in front of the palace, saw Ning Yuezhao and Yan Mo from a distance, and ran towards them like flying, " Why did His Highness come back so late, the servants are all anxious to death! Huh? It smells like alcohol, have you been drinking?"

It's okay not to mention wine, but when it was mentioned, Ning Yuezhao remembered what Jiang Nian said just now.She didn't answer Qingchi's words, but instead quickened her pace, leaving a distance between the two of them.

Qingchi was confused and could only look at Yan Mo, "Wu Mu, what's wrong, Your Highness?"

Yan Mo looked forward and did not speak.

Qingchi stomped his feet angrily, "I'm also confused, how can I expect to get something out of your stupid mouth!"

After finishing speaking, Qingchi followed Ning Yuezhao's pace.

But Ning Yuezhao sat in the palace for a while, but chose to change clothes and go to the Dragon Hall.

The empress knew about Ning Yuezhao's leaving the palace. At this time, she was being served with medicine, and when she saw Ning Yuezhao coming, she immediately felt better, "Azhao, how did you enjoy yourself outside the palace today?"

"Of course I'm happy." Ning Yuezhao had already sorted out her mood at this moment, smiling like a flower.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, "When your father was in power, he often went to the people."

Ning Yuezhao said: "Isn't there an envoy? Why go there by yourself?"

"The envoy is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he may be bribed. It is better to listen to it in person." The queen shook her head, "Jiang Nian is capable of both literature and martial arts. I am relieved to have him accompany you out of the palace. .”

The smile on Ning Yuezhao's face froze a little, and then she showed her face and said, "How can I always bother Jiang Qing."

"Azhao, I know that it will be difficult for you to let go of An Chen for a while, but he is destined to be your imperial husband." The queen caught the flashing expression on her face and said solemnly, "If you are willing to marry An Chen Jiang Nian is married, after you give birth to a son-in-law, I will not object to you accepting An Chen again."

The queen made a concession, but Ning Yuezhao was stunned. Did she want An Chen to be her face?

Among the aristocratic daughters in Daxing, there are quite a few who accept face heads. Apart from her mother, all the empresses of the past have more or less received face heads.It's just that according to the ancestral system, if the empress wants to accept the face head, she needs to give birth to a direct descendant with the emperor's husband first, and the person who becomes the head face must also take lifelong infertility drugs to maintain the purity of the royal blood.

Because becoming the face of the empress means that there will be no successors, except for those who are presented to please the king, almost no one is willing to be the head of the face.

"No!" Ning Yuezhao flatly refused, she did not want An Chen to make such a sacrifice.

The empress gave her a meaningful look, "Today An Chen entered the palace with Imperial Physician Fu. I saw that he was in a daze and made a mistake. It's probably because you have avoided seeing him recently."

"What's wrong with him?" Ning Yuezhao asked nervously, "Did the empress punish him?"

The queen's face turned cold, and she snorted, "Why don't you ask me if there is any damage first?"
Ning Yuezhao knew that she had hurt her mother's heart in a hurry, so she hurried to make amends, "Is the mother hurt?"

The queen didn't speak, and turned her back to her.

Bitao, who was serving at the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and said aloud: "When Doctor An was administering acupuncture to His Majesty today, he pricked several wrong acupuncture points in a row, and they were bleeding! Your Majesty's face lost all color at that time. It took a quarter of an hour to slow down. His Majesty was soft-hearted and did not punish Imperial Doctor An."

After hearing Bitao's words, Ning Yuezhao felt even more guilty, and immediately knelt down, "I know I was wrong."

The queen didn't turn around, but said coldly: "He is the person on your heart, if I punish him, you still don't know how to make trouble with me!"

Seeing that her mother refused to forgive herself, Ning Yuezhao kowtowed again, "Mother, the child really knows his mistake."

The queen couldn't bear it, she turned around, "You child!"

Bitao hurried to help Ning Yuezhao, "Your Highness, get up quickly, Your Majesty will not blame you."

The queen sighed, "He is on duty at the side hall tonight, you go and explain to him clearly. Some people just want to be with them for the rest of their lives. You are not him, let him decide for himself. "

Ning Yuezhao felt her nose was a little sour, and originally wanted to tell the story she heard today to make her mother happy, but it ended up like this.

"Go, I'm a little tired." The queen showed a little tired look on her face.

"The minister there will take his leave first."

Looking at the back of her daughter leaving, the queen let out a long sigh.

After leaving the apse, Ning Yuezhao felt like every step was filled with lead.

"I'm going to the Piandian, looking for An Chen." Ning Yuezhao waved his hand, stopping Qingchi and Yanmo from following up.

Ning Yuezhao walked along the corridor with complicated thoughts, while Qingchi and Yan Mo kept some distance away from her.

From a distance, Ning Yuezhao saw the dim yellow light from the side hall, and she could imagine An Chen reading a book under the light.She really wanted to rush up to see if the actual scene was the same as her imagination, but reason stopped her.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the breeze is blowing, it should be the best time to tell her heart, how can she come up with those decisive words?

She couldn't say goodbye heartily, and couldn't bear her mother's sadness, that's why she had been avoiding An Chen for the past few days.

Just when Ning Yue was full of worries, An Chen actually walked out from the side hall.

Under the moonlight, he was still dressed in white clothes better than snow, but his frown lightly showed that he had not had an easy few days.

Ning Yuezhao likes An Chen to wear white clothes the most, so he is the only one in the Imperial Hospital who has the privilege not to wear the old-fashioned imperial medical gown.

His voice was still as gentle as before: "Azhao, you are finally willing to come to see me."

Ning Yuezhao lowered her head, a little afraid to look at him, she really couldn't say those words.

"It's very windy here, Azhao come with me and sit inside." An Chen smiled and took her hand.

Unlike Jiang Nian's warm palms, An Chen's hands were always slightly cool, but she liked the coolness even more, and she couldn't stand the heat.

The furnishings of the side hall are relatively simple, and the two sit opposite each other across a round table.

"Azhao, is there any fun outside the palace?" An Chen spoke first, and those clear eyes seemed to be shrouded in a light mist at the moment.

Ning Yuezhao felt a twitch in her heart, and explained unconsciously: "Have you heard it all? I saw that Empress Dowager seems to be very interested in folk storytelling recently, so I wanted to listen to some, and tell Empress Empress when I come back. Make her happy."

An Chen reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, "I didn't hear about it, I saw it."

Ever since An Chen entered the imperial hospital, the empress gave him a house outside the palace, allowing him the right to enter and leave the palace freely.Therefore, An Chen usually lives outside the palace, so it is not impossible to see her and Jiang Nian enter the Tingfeng Teahouse.

Ning Yuezhao wanted to explain, but she felt powerless, "There were so many people at that time... So, anyway, it's not what you think..."

An Chen gave her a reassuring look, and then said guiltily: "I made a mistake today and hurt Your Majesty. Your Majesty didn't punish me, which makes me feel even more sorry."

Seeing him like this, Ning Yuezhao felt distressed again, "Emperor Mother is generous, even the palace servants who make mistakes are rarely punished, you just do your best in the future." I think he came today because he saw her and Jiang Nian's outing this afternoon. It's only when the two are in the same pair that they feel restless.

An Chen shook her head, and held Ning Yuezhao's hand again, "You ignore me, I'm in a mess, so I can't concentrate. Ah Zhao, don't ignore me, okay?"

Ning Yuezhao looked into her eyes, and humbleness and begging could be read in those clear eyes.She was a little moved, but she couldn't ask those words for a while.

An Chen paused, as if she had made up her mind, "I know that Ah Zhao's son-in-law must be Master Jiang. I know I came from a humble background, so I don't dare to expect to stand side by side with you. I just want to see you every day." gone."

Ning Yuezhao felt as miserable as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis.The Empress really had a clear mind, she could see everyone's mind clearly, before she let herself come over, she probably knew An Chen's mind already.

"An Chen is an imperial doctor, so naturally he can come often to check my pulse, and I can see it when the time comes." Ning Yuezhao felt that his friendship was too deep, and she couldn't bear to wrong him after all.If possible, she would rather that he marry a virtuous wife and live an ordinary but comfortable life.

"No!" An Chen stood up abruptly, holding her shoulders, "You know what? My mind is full of you and Mr. Jiang holding hands today. I think I'm going crazy! Ah Zhao, I don't Please, as long as I have a place by your side, I won't be so sad!"

Ning Yuezhao trembled all over, and her voice trembled, "You are willing to be my face-to-face, but I don't want you to be my face-to-face!"

An Chen hugged her and said, "I don't feel wronged, you are not me, so don't make choices for me, okay?"

Ning Yuezhao let him hug her, greedily smelling the fragrance of the medicine on his body, her nose was sore, but this time, the tears stayed down.

Sensing the strangeness of the person in his arms, An Chen quickly let go of her, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away tears, "Azhao, it's my fault, please stop crying, okay?"

Ning Yuezhao didn't speak, but let herself cry a lot.

The empress has now allowed her to accept An Chen as the face-to-face in the future, but this does not mean that the two of them will be able to stay together unscrupulously in the future.The ancestors of the Jiang family were heroes in the founding of the country, a century-old family, and their influence in the court was intertwined. How could the descendants of the direct line be allowed to be wronged in the royal family?Besides, although Jiang Nian said it nicely, who knows what his real thoughts are. When he ascends to the position of imperial concubine in the future, he will be the master and An Chen will be the slave.

"I'm sorry." Ning Yuezhao finally pushed An Chen away with a cold face, wet tears still hanging on his face.

An Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, and he reached out tremblingly, trying to wipe away her tears, but she avoided her.

In order not to give herself a chance to repent, Ning Yuezhao quickly got up and left.

There was a thunderstorm, and there was a lot of wind and rain outside the window.The lights in the side hall were flickering, and Yi Ren was with him a moment ago, but now there is only one person facing Gu Ying.
