Princess Anyang wore Xiaoru's clothes not for any other reason, but because Qing'er and Xiu'er were playing in the water and accidentally splashed her clothes.
She and Xiao Ru had a similar body shape, so Xiao Ru took a piece of his own clothes for her to change into, which led to the misunderstanding just now.
Tangning let go of her wrist and apologized for what she had just done. She said apologetically, "Sorry, I mistook the princess for Xiao Ru just now..."
Princess Anyang was a little embarrassed. She knew Tangning didn't mean it just now, but she was indeed treated lightly. If it had been someone else, she would have paid a heavy price. But the person in front of her had a different identity and it was impossible to punish her...
She waved her hand a little irritably and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving. I'll have Xiaoru's clothes delivered to you later."
Tang Ning shook her head. She couldn't blame Princess Anyang for wearing Xiao Ru's clothes. She just blamed him for being reckless just now. Although the two of them have similar body shapes, if you look closely, you can still tell the difference.
"Sister Anyang, I have dried your clothes for you..." Su Ru walked out of the inner courtyard and saw Tang Ning standing alone in the courtyard. She asked in surprise: "Brother Ning, where is the princess?"
"She has gone back beforehand." Tangning looked at the clothes in her hand and said, "The people from the Princess's Mansion will come over in a while, just ask Qing'er to hand over the clothes to them."
Su Ru nodded and said, "I'll go to the concierge to let you know..."
Tangning took the clothes from Su Ru's hands, held her in her arms, and said, "Just let the maids do these things. Even if she is the princess, you don't have to take care of her..."
Su Ru leaned quietly in his arms and said sheepishly: "I was used to doing it before, but now that I have some free time, I always feel uncomfortable all over my body..."
Su Ru and Tang Yaoyao had different preferences. She was not born into an official family, and she was not the daughter of a wealthy family. Unlike Zhao Man and Li Tianlan, she was born in the royal family and had endless wealth and splendor since she was a child.
She was used to living a hard life. She had learned to do laundry and cooking since she was a child. She had been with Tang Ning and took care of him for more than ten years. Even now, she still does many things that a maid should do.
No false hands.
Most of the time, when Tang Ning was reading or writing in the study, she would stand by silently, serving tea and water, or just sit and watch quietly.
For her, she was used to a hard life, but this kind of wealthy life would be a bit restrictive and uncomfortable. She has not adapted to it in two years, and she may not be able to adapt to it in the future.
Tangning wanted her to enjoy happiness, but she didn't want to restrict her. It was better to leave her to make her own choices.
He gently stroked her hair and said, "That's fine, as long as you like it..."
In her rare free time, she was tender with Xiaoru for a moment. When Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao walked out from behind, she felt embarrassed to sit in Tang Ning's arms again.
Tangning did not continue to sit in the yard and started a new day's exercise according to what was written in the old beggar's secret book.
No matter how high your official position is or how much money you have, it is not as good as having a good body. These days, Tang Ning understands more and more the importance of having a good body.
Su Mei went to Tiantianju to practice Qigong during the day and practiced Qigong when she came back at night. She did not relax at all in order to have a good place for her family in the future, and Tang Ning could not be a burden to her.
His talent is not as good as Tang Yaoyao, not as good as Su Mei, and even worse than Xiao Xiao. The old beggar told him clearly that hard work can make up for weakness. He will never become a top expert no matter how hard he practices in his life. But Tang Ning no longer cares about this. He
He didn’t expect to become like the old beggar or Old Zheng. With three wives, four wives and five wives around, could he still be bullied by others?
Zhao Yuan stood in the yard holding a few books, looking at Tang Ning who was doing strange movements, and asked curiously: "Sir, what are you doing?"
Tang Ning replied: "Practice."
Zhao Yuan saw his strange movements and asked, "What kind of exercises do you practice?"
Tang Ning explained in an easy-to-understand manner: "If you want to marry many princesses in the future, you will need this kind of skill."
Zhao Yuan thought for a while, threw down the book, stood behind Tang Ning, and started to learn in a decent manner.
Emperor Chen asked him to teach Zhao Yuan how to read, but in fact, Tang Ning never taught him anything from beginning to end, so she couldn't be considered his teacher.
He has a great scholar in the palace and there is no shortage of royal education, so naturally there is no need for him to teach.
What's more, as a young prince who did not participate in the seizure of the heir, he had learned a lot, but there was not much benefit.
It would be better to play until he reaches adulthood, then marry his Wang family sisters, Zhang family sisters, Bai family sisters, etc., and then the whole family goes to the fiefdom to live a leisurely life.
Seeing how well Zhao Yuan was practicing and how energetic he was, Tang Ning couldn't bear to tell him that a child wanted everything, but an adult had to make a choice.
He can only choose one girl from the Wang family, Zhang family, or Bai family.
The granddaughter of the Wang Xiang can be a queen and concubine, and she can barely be a princess. But if the granddaughter of the Wang Xiang becomes a princess, he will not think about the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family and the legitimate daughter of the Bai family.
The Zhang family has had bachelors for generations, and it is a real family of poetry and calligraphy. For such a daughter, the Zhang family feels aggrieved to marry the prince, let alone to be her concubine?
As for the Bai family, General Dongmenwei's surname is Bai. It is rare for a general's daughter to become a concubine, and most of the general's women will not allow their husbands to take concubines because they have strong personalities. This can be seen from Xiao Jue.
Zhao Yuan felt something strange in Tang Ning's eyes, looked at him, and asked anxiously, "Sir, do you have something to say to me?"
"No." Tangning shook her head, turned and walked into the study.
Zhao Yuan always felt that he wanted to say something bad, so he glanced at him in a panic, picked up the books, and chased after him.
Zhao Yuan came to the Tang family not to play with his daughter, but to ask Tang Ning questions.
Tang Ning was a little surprised. Most of his questions were about the sages' ideas on governing the country. These days, Zhao Yuan has been asking such questions much more frequently.
It's not that Tang Ning doesn't understand, it's just that he is a marginal prince, and there is really no point in learning this. But Tang Ning can't tell him that he can't be the emperor in this life, and waste time on it. He might as well play house with the Wang sister.
…
Zhao Yuan was obviously not interested in these either. After asking a few questions, he yawned again and again and said, "Sir, I'm sleepy..."
Tangning pointed to the bed in the study and said, "If you feel sleepy, just take a nap."
Zhao Yuan was lying on the bed and fell asleep. Tang Ning was sitting in the study. After turning a few pages of the book, Zhao Man walked in from the door and was about to speak. When she saw Zhao Yuan on the bed, the happy expression on her face immediately disappeared.
When he came back, he was originally running towards Tang Ning, but his pace slowed down a lot.
She sat next to Tang Ning and asked in a low voice, "I heard from people outside that Brother Duan Wang is going to be the crown prince?"
Tangning nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens in the past two years, His Majesty will probably make him the crown prince."
In terms of status in Emperor Chen's mind, none of the princes can compare with Prince Duan. Now that even Prince Kang has been demoted, Prince Duan has no rival.
Zhao Man knew about the grievances between Tang Ning, the Tang family and Prince Duan, and asked with some concern: "Will my father pass the throne to brother Duan Wang?"
"That's not necessarily true." Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Who knows what will happen to the throne until the end. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when the prince was still there, Wei Wangtai and Wu Wangke were competing for the throne, and the support behind them
There are so many people, so don’t the last three of them have a bad end and take advantage of the young King Jin?"
After Tang Ning finished speaking, she suddenly felt something strange in the atmosphere. She turned her head subconsciously and saw that Zhao Yuan, who had been asleep just now, had woken up at some point and was looking at him with eyes that were so clear that there was no trace of sleepiness.
meaning?
He looked at Zhao Yuan and asked, "Aren't you sleepy?"
"Suddenly I'm not sleepy anymore."
Zhao Yuan kept lying on the bed, looked at them, and said: "Sir, Sister Huang, please continue talking, don't worry about me..."
