In October, it rained continuously.

Princess Donghe's Mansion.

Qingluan was cleaning fallen leaves alone in the courtyard.

In the Broken Leaf Pavilion in the north of the courtyard, a woman in white was quietly looking through the mountains of memorials piled on the table.

On the red sandalwood round table in front of the case, there was a cup of tea that had already cooled down.

She subconsciously picked up the cup and took a sip, only to realize that the water was already cold.

Just as he was about to call Qingluan to come and make tea, he saw the little girl running over quickly through the Chuihua Building and the rockery corridor.

"Princess, Sir Xingru Anxing, the great scholar of Chongwen Hall, has arrived."

After thinking for a moment, Ning Yan said in a deep voice.

"Master Xing, please go to Zuihua Xiaozhu and wait.

I will be there in a moment."

Qingluan took the order and went down.

The woman stood up, stretched, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he slowly got up and walked towards Zuihua Xiaozhu.

From a distance, I saw a graceful, noble and graceful woman in plain white uniforms walking from under the flower stand.

Xing Ru'an immediately put down his tea cup and bowed down: "I have met the eldest princess before."

He held him firmly with one hand and said with a smile: "Master Xing, there is absolutely no need to be polite.

Please sit down.

Qingluan, watch the tea."

Ning Yan sat at the head of the table and said with a smile: "Master Xing is still used to drinking this new Yuqian Longjing."

Xing Ru'an was a well-educated scholar.

He was a bachelor of Chongwen Hall who was personally promoted by the late emperor.

He was deeply trusted and was also the minister of Tuogu.

When he was young, this man was also a handsome man well-known in Kyoto, and he was charming and charming.

However, after marrying his wife, he changed his past behavior and became a well-known strict wife in Kyoto.

Besides reading, his only hobby is tea.

It is said that half of his monthly salary is spent on buying tea, buying tea sets, making tea and drinking tea.

He is an out-and-out tea addict.

The tea addict stood up and bowed his head and said: "After all, it is new tea.

It has a mellow and sweet taste and a long aftertaste.

I don't know how much better than the old tea that I usually drink."

Ning Yan nodded and said with a smile: "That's it, Qingluan.

When I leave, I will give you a jar of Yuqian Longjing for Mr.

Something important happened."

"I probably know what Mr.

Xing Ru'an said worriedly: "Princess, you have noticed that your majesty has been obsessed with having fun recently and has neglected a lot of his studies.

The old minister has repeatedly advised me, but your majesty has never taken it to heart.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, it would be okay.

But the current situation is serious, and the old minister is really I don’t know what to do, but please give me some advice.”

Ning Yan slowly swung the tea in her cup and sighed: "Mr. .

And all we can do is try our best to protect him, no matter whether the building collapses or not.”

After saying that, the topic changed: "Of course, before that, I still hope that Mr.

Xing can be cautious and not give up easily.

Even if it is a piece of rotten wood, as long as it is carefully carved, it may not be unable to become a pillar."

She smiled at the corner of her mouth, Light eyes.

But that smile didn't really catch my eye.

Xing Ruan looked at this young woman and remembered the delicate white figure in the flames outside Wuji Hall six years ago.

At that time, she was decisive in killing and had a fierce temperament.

Now, after many years of changes in the court, the charm has become more restrained and deep, as if all the edges and corners have been put away.

Only this amazing woman from the ages can carry the weight of the entire Donghe with a thin shoulder.

I couldn't help but sigh: "Old minister, please just listen to the eldest princess's orders."

Ning Yan smiled: "The situation at Yue San Pass is currently unclear.

I will not leave the palace to supervise the war in person.

The court and the emperor have entrusted it to Lord Xing.

I believe you will not let me down."

"The current situation in Donghe is extremely dangerous.

There are no good generals and no strong soldiers.

I have to bother the eldest princess to personally take action.

I am really embarrassed and angry.

Only by sending Donghe with my body, the first princess will have no worries."

Xing Ruan stood up excitedly and said, Bow to the end.

Ning Yan stood up, walked down the steps and helped Xing Ru'an up.

She smiled and said: "Unscrupulous generals, fortunately there are ministers like Mr.

Xing and Mr.

Wei.

I really feel at ease."

Xing Ru'an and Wei Yan were both trusted ministers of the late emperor, and they also contended with Yu Jin for many years.

Unlike Xing Ruan, who is a standard nerd, Wei Yan is quite skillful.

This man was enthusiastic about intrigues and meticulous, and he was also deeply liked by the late emperor.

However, Yu Jin gradually grew stronger with the strength of his sister, Queen Rui, and proclaimed himself the Right Prime Minister.

The late emperor had no choice but to ensure that Wei Yan became the left prime minister in an attempt to play a countervailing role.

However, Yu Jin was not even looked down upon by the emperor, let alone a left prime minister, so he was suppressed everywhere.

During the national mourning, Wei Yan's family was imprisoned in the palace in the western suburbs by Yu Jin.

However, as soon as Ning Yan came to power, she abolished the system of left and right prime ministers, respected Wei Yan as the prime minister, and personally went to the western suburbs to welcome Wei Yan back to the palace.

After that, Wei Yan devoted himself to assisting Ning Yan.

It can be said that Wei Yan really contributed the most to Donghe's seemingly peaceful situation in six years.

It rained lightly for a few days, and when the sky cleared up, it was already November.

On this day, the sky was as blue as a lake, with a few boat-shaped white clouds floating in the sky.

The golden sunshine shines on the earth, making the already majestic and gorgeous Donghe Palace even more brilliant.

After the court meeting, Ning Yan grabbed Zheng Yu who wanted to escape and returned to Zhangqing Hall.

Duan Ye led a group of young eunuchs to close the door tightly and hid far away.

The eldest princess had a bad look on her face when she entered.

It seemed that a storm was inevitable.

"What did I say a few days ago?

Did I ask you to read the book carefully?

As the king of a country, you don't even know how many cities I have in Donghe?"

Ning Yan stood in front of the book case, and several memorials fell to the ground with a bang. .

"I think you've really learned badly in the past few years."

The young man in bright yellow stood in the huge palace with a pale face and said nothing.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself down: "Do you know that you are fourteen years old this year?

Do you know what I was doing when I was fourteen years old?

Back then, after I left my master, I wandered around the world alone.

When When I was fourteen, I visited not only Donghe, but even most of the cities in Nanwu.

What are you doing growing flowers and painting?

What Donghe wants is an emperor who can shoulder a huge burden.

Not an idle painter.”

"I asked Mr.

Xing to give you a lecture because I hope you can learn some principles of governance from his rich knowledge.

He is the number one scholar in Donghe, no one can compare with me."

She chuckled weakly, "Zheng Yu, I promised Master's dying instructions and will support you until you become the throne at the age of sixteen.

How can I explain to her if you continue to make no progress?"

Her face didn't look any better, it was pale without a trace of blood, and the glory of her whole body seemed to have lost its color in an instant.

She sat on the steps and buried her head in her arms.

Zheng Yu looked up at her, his glassy eyes filled with sorrow.

He stepped forward and walked towards Ning Yan step by step, towards the delicate and pale person in the magnificent and huge palace.

That is his deepest attachment.

He said softly one word at a time: "Sister Huang, it's Yu'er's fault.

Yu'er promises to listen to Mr.

In front of the woman with his head, he gently leaned his head over.

There was a kind of confidence and perseverance that he had never seen before on his handsome and slightly childish face.

When Ning Yan heard this, she moved slightly and slowly raised her head to look at the face that was very close to her.

I tried to touch his head out of habit, but he turned aside to avoid me.

A familiar smile slowly appeared on her face: "In that case, I'll be relieved.

Likewise, I won't check your homework today.

I'll test you when I come back from Yuesan Pass."

"You have to go to Yuesanguan in person."

Zheng Yu's expression suddenly changed.

Ning Yan nodded, stood up, and dusted off her clothes.

"No, you're not allowed to go."

The young man stopped in front of her, looking excited.

Ning Yan didn't look at him, picked up a memorial that was still on the ground and handed it to him.

After saying "See for yourself", he called Duan Ye and asked him to come in and serve tea.

Eunuch Duan slowly opened the door and poked his head inside.

The emperor was looking through the memorials with a serious expression, while the eldest princess was looking at him leisurely.

He immediately put a smile on his face and trotted up with the tea in hand and put it on the table.

"Princess" Ning Yan took the tea cup, stroked the lid, blew on it again, and then took a slow sip.

She glanced sideways at him: "The temperature is just right.

When did Eunuch Duan make the tea?"

Duan Ye said with a smile: "I have been waiting outside.

I guessed that the princess and the emperor were done chatting, so I asked Xiao Anzi to go have some fun."

Ning Yan smiled inexplicably and said, "Eunuch Duan is such an exquisite and clear person."

"How dare you be a slave?"

Just as he was saying this, Zheng Yu put down the memorial with a heavy voice, which made Duan Ye tremble all over.

Zheng Yu turned to look at Ning Yan: "Sister Huang, do you have to go?"

"You already have the answer in your heart, why do you ask me again?"

Ning Yan said slowly, taking a sip of the tea in the cup, and gradually cast her eyes towards the vast sky outside the house.

"There is bound to be a battle between Nanwu and Donghe, but not now.

As far as I know, Nanwu has not been peaceful recently.

Emperor Xi had many heirs in his life, and there are not just one or two who want the throne.

Except for the deposed prince, The Third Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Twelfth Prince are all those who have a strong desire to become the crown prince.

The one leading the army this time is the Ninth Prince, who is not very popular with Emperor Xi.

He probably wants to gain Emperor Xi's favor with his military exploits in annexing Donghe. , which also adds weight to his becoming the prince.”

"In other words, Nanwu has too much time to take care of itself.

If we help the Ninth Prince Xiao Lin ascend the throne of God as a condition, we can in exchange for eliminating the current battle at Yuesanguan Pass."

Zheng Yu thought.

Ning Yan gave him an approving look.

"That's right, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Everyone just takes what they need.

Donghe's military force has always been weak, so this is just the right time to reorganize the army."

"Then what if Xiao Lin turns his back on him after ascending to the throne of God and attacks Donghe again?"

"There are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent friends.

A battle between Dong and Nanwu is inevitable.

What I need now is time.

If the war comes later, I will have a better chance of winning."

Ning Yan touched his His head was dodged by him again.

"So Yu'er, you still have a lot to learn."

The west-slanting sunlight fell in through the carved window lattice of Zhangqing Hall, revealing mottled shadows on the ground.

A strong wind blew by, and the leaves outside the hall fell all over the sky, paving the road, as if telling the story of the fleeting time.

Ning Yan slowly stood up and walked into the sky full of fallen leaves.

The large palace clothes were wrapped around her thin and slender body, and she felt unspeakably lonely.

Zheng Yu stared at the woman blankly, lost in thought.

Sister Huang, I used to think that as long as I didn't behave so well, you would always be by my side.

But I didn't expect it would be so hard for you.

In this case, let me protect you.

Use my own strength to keep you by my side.
