Wei Jian and Chen Huang stood in the forest, looking ahead blankly, pursed their lips, and said, "This, this may be a misunderstanding..."
Chen Huang said solemnly: "Then Pingyang hugged his neck and kissed his face. Is it a misunderstanding?"
Wei Jian sighed, lowered his head, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I can't explain this..."
"How courageous!" Chen Huang gritted his teeth and said, "You already have so many wives, and you still dare to provoke my princess. Is there any man in this capital who is more lustful and bold than him?"
Wei Jian lowered his head, glanced at him vaguely, and said nothing.
"What a royal disgrace!" Emperor Chen waved his sleeves and said, "Go back to the palace!"
"Ah?" Wei Jian's expression was startled.
Although His Majesty was angry, he did not go over directly. Lei Lei's angry questioning was really unexpected.
"They are not embarrassed, but I am embarrassed!" Chen Huang said with a dark face, turned around and walked into the forest, returning along the original road.
At the gate of the garden here, I saw Emperor Chen walking out shortly after entering. The guard at the gate bowed and said, "See your Majesty!"
Emperor Chen glanced at them and said, "Don't tell anyone about my visit today, including the princess!"
Several guards had doubts on their faces, but they could not disobey the king's orders, so they immediately bowed and nodded: "Yes!"
Chen Huang returned to the imperial study in silence, and Wei Jian followed him step by step, feeling uneasy in his heart.
There were only two people in the royal study, Chen Huang and Wei Jian. He stopped, sighed, and said, "I haven't seen Man'er smiling so happily for a long time..."
Wei Jian lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Huang looked at him and asked: "Don't you talk a lot of nonsense when talking about that kid? What's wrong today? You're mute?"
Wei Jian raised his head and said angrily: "Your Majesty, this old slave has misjudged the wrong person. I didn't expect that Mr. Tang relied on your Majesty's favor to pacify the south of the Yangtze River and the northwest, and made great contributions to the country.
I already have several wives and concubines, and I have an affair with the princess, and I blatantly defy the royal majesty. This old slave feels that this matter must be severely punished!"
"Oh?" Chen Huang glanced at him and asked, "What kind of severe punishment?"
"Not killing him is not enough to establish authority!" Wei Jian said: "Capture him immediately and put him in jail, and he will be executed on another day!"
"Cough, cough!" Chen Huang coughed a few times, looked at him and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
Wei Jian looked confused and said, "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"If I kill him on another day, who will I use to kill him in the future?" Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "The threat from the Western Region has not been eliminated, the grassland has not been stable for a long time, Guizhou has become more and more chaotic, and Xifan has taken the opportunity to spy on you. At this time, you
If I kill him, who else in the court can replace him?"
Wei Jian smiled coquettishly and said, "Everything is entirely up to your Majesty's decision."
Chen Huang was silent for a long time and said: "I owed Man'er too much before..."
He looked at Wei Jian again, gritted his teeth and said, "Go and summon Tang Ning for me!"
…
In Zhao Man's garden, Zhao Man leaned on Tang Ning's chest. The breeze blew her black hair, tickling Tang Ning's face.
Zhao Man held his hand, drew circles on it, and asked, "When are we leaving?"
What she envied was the upright situation with her sweetheart, not like this, just leaning on his arms and hiding from everyone.
Tangning stroked her hair and said, "It's almost over."
Tang Yaoyao has already arranged for the caravan to go to the grassland. For Tang Ning, the grassland is undoubtedly a better place to settle than Guizhou. It will take some time for them to take root there.
When Su Mei comes back, they can actually set off, and they don't really have to wait until the three-year period with Wanyan Yan is over. If everything goes well with Su Mei, this time can be compressed to within one year.
Zhao Man sighed and said, "It would be great if my father could agree..."
Tang Ning smiled and said nothing more. Even if Emperor Chen knew about it, he would not let their affairs be made public. He cared more about the royal family's face.
When Tang Ning and Zhong Yi returned home, they were surprised to see Wei Jian at Tang's house.
When he saw Tang Ning, he smiled and said, "Master Tang, you are finally back..."
Tang Ning looked at him and said in surprise: "Mr. Wei, this is..."
Wei Jian said: "Your Majesty has summoned us and asked Mr. Tang to follow us into the palace."
It is already the time for the Yamen, and Emperor Chen always likes to summon others during the Yamen and the rest of the court, without taking into account the mood of his ministers.
Generally speaking, if it was a general summons, Emperor Chen would send a eunuch at random. As long as Wei Jian came out of the palace in person, there must be something big going on.
Nothing major happened in the court recently. Tang Ning got on the carriage, looked at Wei Jian, and asked, "I wonder why your Majesty is looking for me this time?"
"Your Majesty didn't say..." Wei Jian shook his head and said, "We don't know either, and we don't dare to ask..."
As Chen Huang's personal little cotton-padded jacket, he follows Chen Huang all day long. It's strange that he doesn't know.
Tang Ning took out an apple from her sleeve and asked with a smile, "Manager Wei, do you want to eat the apple?"
After a while, two people sat on the carriage, each chewing half an apple. Tang Ning looked at Wei Jian and asked, "When General Manager Wei left, was Your Majesty happy or angry?"
Wei Jian took a bite of the apple and said, "Your Majesty is very angry..."
Looking at Wei Jian's eyes, Tang Ning had a bad feeling in her heart. Wei Jian looked at him and asked with a smile, "Master Tang is very knowledgeable. We have a question to ask Master Tang."
Tang Ning said: "Mr. Wei just said it's okay."
Wei Jian smiled and said, "I wonder if Master Tang prefers a son or a daughter?"
Which man doesn't want a well-behaved little princess? Tangning did not hesitate and said, "My daughter."
Wei Jian thought for a while and said, "If Mr. Tang has a daughter, and suddenly one day, Mr. Tang sees her lying in the arms of a man, what will you do?"
Tangning said, "It depends on when it is."
Wei Jiandao: "I am in my prime years, and I am waiting to be married..."
Tangning continued to ask, "What is a man like?"
Wei Jiandao: "He is a handsome young man with a handsome appearance and a dignified appearance."
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "You can't look at the outside when looking at a person, you have to look at the inside."
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Inside, he is the same as Mr. Tang. He is knowledgeable about the past and present, and has great talents. At a young age, he holds great power and is a hero of the world..."
…
"Both male seniors should get married, and female seniors should get married." Tang Ning sighed and said, "Daughters will eventually get married. As long as they really like her, of course I will be happy."
Wei Jian looked at him and asked, "What if, like Mr. Tang, he also has four wives and concubines at home?"
Tangning's face darkened and she said, "Let me see if I don't break his legs!"
After he finished speaking, his expression was startled, and he slowly looked at Wei Jian. Wei Jian smiled slightly, looked away, took a bite of the apple, and said, "This apple is so sweet..."
