The third prince originally had an idea, but he hesitated and could not make up his mind to do it.
In this silent night, he smelled the fragrance of gardenias, saw the lingering men and women, and felt the taste of freedom.
He was completely determined.
Ning Guzhou only saw the dowry brought by the third prince for Ning Changping on the second day.
Those dowries were prepared according to the highest standards for Princess Dayan, and the things inside are extremely precious:
Pearls as big as pigeon eggs in the South China Sea, coral trees as tall as one person, precious calligraphy and paintings by famous artists in the past dynasties, extremely exquisite tapestry...
In addition to these treasures, there are also some extremely exquisite objects.
Ning Changping was a little surprised when she saw these dowries. She pulled Ning Guzhou's sleeve and asked, "Brother, what does Emperor Cheng Ming want to do?"
"He gave me such a large dowry without incident. Is there some conspiracy?"
"Is there any secret manipulation in these dowries? What kind of poison is hidden in them?"
Ning Changping was very close to Emperor Cheng Ming when she was young, and she had a strong admiration for him.
But when she saw the death of Concubine Yu with her own eyes, her admiration for Emperor Cheng Ming completely disappeared.
Over the years, when she was alone and quiet, she would occasionally think about the things in Dayan Palace.
Her brain was not very good before and she couldn't understand many things.
When I think about those things now, I have a completely different feeling.
Although Emperor Cheng Ming treated her much better than ordinary princes, when she and Ning Guzhou fought their way out of the palace that night, Emperor Cheng Ming showed no mercy to her.
It was also after that time that she no longer regarded him as her father, but as an emperor.
She has seen a lot of Machiavellian tactics over the years, and even if she doesn't use her brain normally, she has been affected by it.
Ning Guzhou said softly: "He should want to compensate you, and he shouldn't be very good at poisoning."
"If you are worried, ask your sister-in-law to check all these things for you later."
The third prince chuckled lightly when he heard these words.
I'm afraid that Emperor Cheng Ming himself would not have thought that Ning Changping would react like this when he saw these dowries.
Ning Changping looked at him and said softly: "If Changping is worried, let someone check it out."
Ning Changping bit her lip lightly. She was not disgusted with this brother who had taken care of her several times in the palace before.
She saluted Third Prince Yingying and said, "Thank you so much, Third Brother. You have worked hard this time."
The third prince smiled slightly: "It's not hard, I'm actually very happy to be able to leave the capital to give you a dowry."
He reached out and touched Ning Changping's head and said, "Changping has really grown up."
Xiao Tiandou looked at him warily and said: "That is, I will protect my aunt from now on, and no one can bully her!"
Sweet Pea did not attend yesterday's dinner.
He came after a long journey, saying that he was going to make the marriage bed for Ning Changping. He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he ended up lying on the bed and fell asleep.
Because he slept soundly, Hua Xinyu didn't let anyone wake him up, but let him continue sleeping.
He slept until this morning. As soon as he woke up, he came to play with Ning Changping, and then he met the third prince coming with someone to deliver the dowry.
He knew from others that the third prince was his third uncle, but he also heard people say that Ning Guzhou did not have a good relationship with his brothers.
Ning Changping suspected that Emperor Cheng Ming would poison her dowry, while Xiao Tiandou was pregnant with the third prince and wanted to bully Ning Changping.
He likes his little aunt Ning Changping very much and no one can bully her.
This was the first time the third prince saw Xiao Tiandou, and he recognized him at a glance as Ning Guzhou's son.
He smiled and said, "Are you the little Sweet Pea?"
He had a chat with Ning Guzhou last night and knew Xiao Tiandou's nickname.
Xiao Tiandou glanced at him and said, "That's right."
The third prince said warmly: "I am your third uncle."
Xiao Tiandou said quietly: "My surname is Zhong, not Ning."
Tang Miaoxin went to Guiqian with him in her arms, and after giving birth to him, he followed Tang Jiuge and adopted Guiqian's surname.
After Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin reconciled, Tang Miaoxin once asked Ning Guzhou if he wanted to change Xiao Tiandou's surname.
Ning Guzhou refused directly. He thought it was good for Xiao Tiandou to be named Zhong.
The third prince was a little surprised when he heard this and turned to look at Ning Guzhou.
Ning Guzhou nodded slightly: "Xiao Tiandou is the eldest grandson of Prince Gui Qian, so his surname is naturally Zhong."
After the third prince was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Emperor Chengming's idea of merging Guiqian into Dayan was probably completely ruined.
The third prince had heard something about the grudges between Emperor Cheng Ming and Tang Jiuge. When they were young, the two men could be said to have been at each other's throats.
Emperor Chengming had been planning his whole life, but the result was just making wedding clothes for others.
He was usually very well-groomed, but it was almost unprecedented for him to laugh uncontrollably like this, and everyone looked at him.
It took him a long time to stop laughing and said: "I'm sorry, I just thought of something very funny, and I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I made you laugh."
After he finished speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xiao Tiandou and said, "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for meeting you."
"I usually wear this jade pendant by my side, so I give it to you today."
Seeing his gentle expression, Little Sweet Bean felt that there was something wrong with the way he laughed just now, but everything else was fine.
He could not feel any malice from the third prince, but he was not sure whether he should accept the gift or not.
He turned to look at Ning Guzhou, who looked at the third prince: "Third brother, wouldn't this jade pendant be inappropriate?"
He recognized the origin of the jade pendant. It was a jade pendant given by Emperor Chengming when Prince Dayan was born, symbolizing the prince's identity.
The third prince said warmly: "What's inappropriate about this? No matter whether Little Sweet Dou's surname is Zhong or Ning, he is still your son."
Ning Guzhou nodded slightly and said, "This is your third uncle's wish, just accept it!"
When the third prince gave this jade pendant to Little Sweet Dou, he recognized Little Sweet Dou's identity.
Although Xiao Tiandou's identity does not need to be recognized by the third prince, Ning Guzhou will not refuse his kindness.
Xiao Tiandou then glanced at the Third Prince, accepted the jade pendant and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle."
The third prince felt very rare when he saw Xiao Tiandou protecting Ning Changping.
He said warmly: "I am Changping's brother. I will not hurt her, I will only protect her."
Xiao Tiandou glanced at the Third Prince warily, doubting his words.
The third prince did not explain to San Tiandou that the bad things in the Dayan royal family could easily make people wary.
Ning Changping got married in a large house that had been prepared in the first city.
Although she only stayed here temporarily, the things inside were well prepared.
It can be seen that the first city was carefully prepared and arranged.
She felt warm in her heart when she saw the little sweet bean protecting her.
