King Duan, King Kang and King Huai were simultaneously punished by His Majesty to shut themselves up and reflect on their past mistakes. The news spread like wildfire within half a day.
Just one piece of news caused a small-scale shock in the capital.
From the courtiers and dignitaries to the common people, they all know very well that those princes who left the capital and went to their respective fiefdoms have almost lost the opportunity to ascend to that supreme position from the day they left the capital, and will never return.
The capital is the center of power.
Unless all the princes Your Majesty left in the capital are dead.
But King Duan, King Kang and King Huai are different.
They were kept by the emperor, and the three of them were often asked to participate in or discuss important affairs of the government. Even without thinking, you can imagine that this is a test and test for the three of them. One of them will eventually become the crown prince.
Location.
Among the three, King Duan and King Kang are the most respected. King Duan is backed by the Tang family, and behind him is the civil service group headed by the Tang family. Behind King Kang are many dignitaries in the capital, as well as several aristocratic families.
The strength of the two princes can be said to be equally matched.
Compared with the two of them, King Huai's power is much inferior, but the temporary superiority means nothing. The final result still depends on the emperor's decision. The fact that King Huai can be kept in the capital shows that he is still in the heart of the emperor.
With a high status, it is also possible to become the final winner.
In any case, this was the first time in recent years that three princes were punished at once. Without knowing the reason, it aroused suspicion in the hearts of many people.
Tang Ning didn't care about these things. Shopping with Tang Fairy consumed all his energy.
Shopping is indeed a woman's nature. Tang Yaojiao's family is so rich. When she arrived in the capital, she was like a silly country girl coming to the city. She went shopping all the way. After half an hour, Tang Ning could hardly hold any more in her hands.
"After walking around for so long, are you hungry? Why don't you find a restaurant to eat?" Tangning could only adopt a roundabout tactic. No matter what, she first found a place to rest.
When talking about eating, Tang Yaoyao seemed to think of something and said: "I heard that the natural residence in the capital is very famous. There is also a couplet called "The guest comes to the natural residence, but the guest is from the sky." How about we go there to eat?
,I heard the food there is delicious.”
Although the food at Tianranju is delicious, Tang Yaojing and Su Huhu don't seem to deal with it very much. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Actually, I know a few restaurants that taste pretty good..."
Tang Yaoyao waved her hand and said: "Don't worry, I invite you this time, let's try the difference between this Tianju's food and other restaurants. I seemed to have seen it when I passed by just now, just a little ahead...
…”
After saying that, she walked forward.
Tangning had no choice but to follow her.
He didn't bring the sign, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it out, lest he have to explain a lot to her later.
"The young master is here..." The waiter at the door of Tiantianju obviously knew him and hurriedly came to greet him and said, "How about you call Su..."
Tangning immediately said, "No, just prepare an Accord."
The guy immediately nodded: "Sir, please come with me."
Tang Yaoyao looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Have you been here before?"
Tangning nodded and said, "I've been here twice."
Fairy Tang didn't ask any questions and occupied an entire garden as a restaurant. This was her first time seeing it. She looked around curiously until the guy took them to the Accord on the second floor.
For two people, Tang Ning ordered four dishes. The portions of each dish at Tianranju were not large, so four dishes should be enough for two people.
The food hasn't been served yet, but Su Mei was served first.
Tang Yaoyao looked at Su Mei who walked in through the door. After being stunned for a moment, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Su Mei smiled and asked, "Why can't I be here?"
Tang Ning explained to her, "Miss Su is the shopkeeper of Tiantianju."
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him cryptically, then looked at Su Mei and asked: "Is there something wrong with Shopkeeper Su?"
Su Mei kept a polite smile on her face: "This is the first time Miss Tang has come to our Tianranju. I was worried that they were not thoughtful in anything, so I came over to take a look."
Su Mei was so polite and courteous, but if he targeted her again, it would appear that he was being unreasonable. Tang Yaoyao's expression softened and she said politely: "Has Miss Su eaten? If not, why don't we sit down and have something together?"
In Chen State, this kind of inquiry does not mean inviting someone to stay for a meal, but rather means seeing off a guest.
Su Mei looked at her, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay."
Tang Yaoyao was stunned in his position, his lips moved, obviously he didn't know what to say.
Tang Ning sighed secretly in her heart. Fairy Tang was only a little fairy who was sixteen years old at most. How could she fight against Su Mei, a thousand-year-old vixen? I was afraid that she would not be able to enjoy this meal peacefully.
Four dishes for three people was not enough, so Tangning asked the waiter to add two more dishes.
After the dishes were served, Su Mei gave him a piece of fish and said, "You work hard studying every day. Eat more fish to replenish your body."
Fairy Tang glanced at her, put two more pieces of tofu on the plate in front of him, and said, "Eating more tofu is good for your health."
Tang Ning looked at Su Mei and then at Tang Yaojing.
He really didn't think he had read the bloody novel about the jealousy between the two bedrooms. If he only eats Tang Yaoyao, he will offend Su Hu. If he offends Su Hu, he may fall into her hands at some point. If he only eats Su Hu, he will
Offended Tang Yaoyao, offended Tang Yaoyao, and now he has to fall into her hands. If they take both of them, they will only get worse and he will definitely be strangled to death today.
He didn't eat Tang Yaoyao's tofu or Su Mei's fish. He picked up his chopsticks, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and said, "Sorry, I like to eat white rice."
…
This meal was tasteless. If I had known it, I would have insisted on eating elsewhere. After leaving Tiantianju, Tang Yaojiing no longer wanted to go shopping. Tang Ning carried her things and returned to Hongxiu Pavilion with her.
Tang Yaoyao went back to her room, changed her clothes, and then came over and said: "From tomorrow on, you can study hard in your room. Xiaoyi is still waiting for you to take the No. 1 exam."
The capital was not as good as Lingzhou, but Tang Ning could still chat with Li Tianlan and play cards with Su Mei. Tang Yaojing had no friends and was unfamiliar with the place, so she could only stay in her room.
Tang Ning originally wanted to teach her mahjong, but she said she couldn't disturb his study. Tang Ning mentioned it a few times, and after she refused a few times, he stopped mentioning it.
He remembered buying a few novels on the street and reading them when he was bored, so he threw them to her and asked her to read them first to pass the time. After a while, when Xiaoyi came to the capital, she would not be so bored.
Already.
However, when Tangning visited her room, she found that the books were placed on her table exactly as they were, with no signs of being flipped.
Tangning looked at her and asked, "You don't like watching?"
These are all best-selling novels on the market. It is said that they are selling very well. Tangning flipped through them. The contradictions are obvious, the conflicts are fierce, and the plots are quite attractive.
Tang Yaoyao shook her head, feeling a little uninterested, and said: "It's all the same, it's either a fox fairy or some kind of ghost. Why are the people who encounter fox fairies and erotic ghosts all down-and-out scholars?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because these stories were written by down-and-out scholars."
He picked up the other two books and asked, "Where are these two books?"
"It's boring." Tang Yaoyao glanced at it and didn't even bother to explain.
Only then did Tang Ning remember that these two books were about young ladies who kept themselves to themselves, abided by their wives' morals, and took care of their husbands and children. They were very consistent with the mainstream ideas and core values of feudal ethics.
This is exactly what Tang Yaojiao hates. Having experienced forced marriage, she does not like this method of parents ordering matchmakers to talk to each other, and is even a little disgusted. Naturally, she does not have any sense of substitution.
But this is not a problem. I don’t like feudal ethics and want to watch something fresh, exciting and avant-garde... What’s the problem?
