Originally, Ning Dai stuck to her original intention, didn't want to know anything, didn't want to ask anything, and was very comfortable. But once her curiosity opened a hole, all those doubts and inexplicables were like a flood that had opened a floodgate, leaking out and blocking the way.

It can't be blocked.

The more I shed, the more curious I become.

Ning Dai tried to struggle, not to be blindly curious, not to make things difficult for herself, but in the end she still couldn't persuade her.

She could only give up on herself and say, forget it, just understand it casually.

After making some achievements in her mind, Ning Dai first scanned the surrounding area, and then said to the people around her: "I'll give you a half-day holiday. You can go and play somewhere cool. I'll talk to him in private for a while."

The few who followed Ning Dai immediately recognized the situation and left, but Yuan Zhuo's two guards did not move. They did not leave until they received Yuan Zhuo's signal.

After clearing the place, Ning Dai pushed the tea cup in front of her to the side, folded her hands on the tea table, and then raised her chin to Yuan Zhuo opposite: "Come on, let's continue."

She was acting like she was just listening to a story.

However, Yuan Zhuo didn't know where to continue for a while, and it seemed like there was nothing more to say.

He is in poor health and has been sick since he was a child. Most of the things that ordinary young men can do and play, he cannot do. Even if he thinks in his heart, the people around him will not agree.

Therefore, his relationship with his brothers was also very weak.

In addition, since he opened his mansion early, he naturally has less contact with his brothers, and often he has to hear some news from other people's mouths.

And for him to discuss his brothers in front of Ning Dai, Yuan Zhuo was of course unwilling to do so privately.

After thinking for a while, he spoke again and talked about his parents: "What I heard the most when I was young was probably that my mother-in-law was doted on in the harem after she entered the palace, and my father loved her very much. Perhaps because of this,

Although I am a sick child, among my brothers, my father loves me a lot."

Ning Dai said "hmm" to show that she was listening.

He said that his mother was the most favored person in the harem back then, and Ning Dai believed that, after all, her son's appearance was here, and Ning Dai could imagine how magnificent his mother was.

"Not long after my mother-in-law passed away, my maternal grandfather sent my aunt to the palace. Firstly, she was worried about me as a child who had just born. I was afraid that I would not be able to survive in the palace without my biological mother? And I always lost half of my blood.

With the blood of the Chen family, the Chen family is also afraid that I will outgrow others, become a helper to others, and have no affection for my maternal family. Secondly, it is because the palace needs a daughter of the Chen family, and it is best if this daughter can still

Continue the emperor’s favor.”

This Ning Dai can also understand.

The harem and the former dynasty have always been inextricably linked, it's the art of the emperor.

So Ning Dai blindly guessed: "Then your aunt gave birth to a prince and became a concubine. She must have continued the emperor's favor."

Yuan Zhuo seemed to be thirsty, so he was not busy answering Ning Dai's blind guess. Instead, he reached out and picked up the teapot that was still cooking. Before adding tea to himself, he did not forget to refill her empty teapot.

The teacup was filled with tea, and then he refilled his own cup.

After he finished adding the tea, he picked up the tea cup again and took two slow sips. It was not until he put the tea cup back on the table that he finally seemed to answer Ning Dai's guess just now.

And what about Ning Dai?

People are very patient.

She didn't make any fuss or rush her, she just stared at him with a pair of eyes full of curiosity. Of course, just looking at him didn't count, she had to express something. For a moment, Ning Dai didn't want to spend time showing too much meaning.

Yes, let's just show off and wink.

However, her flirtatious look was indeed effective, otherwise, Yuan Zhuo would probably not have decided to speak so quickly.

Yuan Zhuo leaned back, with a slight smile on his lips, and said lazily: "Everyone says that among the many sisters in the Chen family, my aunt is the most like my mother-in-law."

At the end of the sentence, Yuan Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

But as if he was afraid of being seen by the people next to him, he quickly turned his head away, leaving only a small part of his side facing Ning Dai.

Ning Dai noticed it, but didn't expose it.

In her opinion, his words were more concerning, as they were full of gossip.

So Ning Dai used her own language to transform and modify it.

Therefore, his family relationship is equivalent to that of a widowed brother-in-law and his aunt forming a family again. Before the reorganization, he was the one who was the source of trouble, and after the reorganization, they added a son.

According to the normal routine, his life of being a drag will not be easy.

"Excuse me for asking, is your aunt nice to you? Does your brother want to kiss you?"

Yuan Zhuo was still sitting in the same leaning posture. Others would inevitably look arrogant when sitting in such a posture, but perhaps his sickly temperament was different, and he seemed to have an eye-catching taste.

Ning Dai looked at it and couldn't help but rest her chin with one hand.

Yuan Zhuo looked at a void, and after a moment he opened his lips slightly and said in a low voice: "It's pretty good." At least it allowed him to live until now.

This statement is really unconvincing.

Ning Dai looked at the small side of his face and couldn't help but think of the poor Qin Ce.

Compared with Qin Ce, whose whole body and every hair strand exudes misfortune, the image of Yuan Zhuo, the main character, is completely different.

But in essence..., maybe there's not much difference.

"You..." Ningdai suddenly opened her mouth, said one word, and then stopped suddenly.

"Huh?" Yuan Zhuo looked over.

Ning Dai put down her hand, straightened up, changed her sitting position and waved her hand perfunctorily: "I don't think I need to ask you again if you really don't want to see your brother's problem anymore."

After saying that, he paused and then sighed with an annoyed look on his face: "Hey, if I had known better, I wouldn't have given them a holiday."

Yuan Zhuo twitched the corner of his mouth and asked in agreement, "Do I need to call them back again?"

Ning Dai rolled her eyes.

Yuan Zhuo suddenly smiled innocently.

Ning Dai withdrew her eyes, but the next second, she threw them back again: "I can't help it anymore, I still want to ask you, where is my phone!! Give it to me..."

But then she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was getting better, and she had a way to break it immediately.

People don't know whether to laugh or feel helpless.

However, the two of them had a tacit understanding. After howling for a while, Ning Dai realized that her efforts were in vain, so she naturally stopped talking, and Yuan Zhuo changed the subject accordingly.

This tacit understanding is something that both of them are deliberately avoiding.

It's just that the authorities are confused.

…

Yuan Zhuo didn't seem to care about the situation of his imperial brother, but the old steward obviously didn't think so, so much so that he had to come and report to Yuan Zhuo if there was any news.

Just as Ning Dai had thought when she first heard about her disappearance, Yuan Zhuo, the younger brother of the emperor, really fell hard after falling off his horse.

I've been lying down for three full days and I still don't show any intention of waking up.

During these three days, the old steward gave me three meals a day to report the latest news.

Not only the Ninth Prince's, but also Concubine Chen's.
