After Ning Sheng abdicated, he took Lin Hua, Ning Xu, and Ning Yang to play everywhere. Sometimes Ning Min would also take him to play with him when he had free time. He really enjoyed the happiness of family and was much happier than being an emperor.
But after all, after being the emperor for so many years, there are still occupational diseases. The surrounding area is so chaotic. Seeing that Ning Yan didn't take advantage of the chaos to conquer some places, he felt uncomfortable.
At this time, Ning Yan was having a headache for Longzhou. Tuoba Tao seemed to have no intention of attacking Longzhou, but he continued to destroy the surrounding areas, making Longzhou have to rely on relief. Although it is not impossible, after all, it is better to be self-reliant, and it is also right to rely on relief. The drag of Kun Yu Kingdom was just a place that was finally conquered. After losing two cities, he didn't want to lose another city, but Longzhou had become a useless place. Ning Yan was having a headache whether to give up.
Ning Sheng came over with some displeasure, and Ning Yan stood up quickly:
"Why are you here, Father? But what's wrong with you in life?"
Ning Sheng sat in the chair and said with a bad expression:
"I don't have it in life, but I have it in my heart."
Ning Yan thought for a while and didn't understand:
"My son is stupid, I hope my father will make it clear."
Ning Sheng snorted:
"I think you are also stupid. The surrounding area is so chaotic. If you don't take the opportunity to gain more territory, are you planning to stay here?"
When Ning Yan heard that it was because of this, his heart dropped and he said with a smile:
"Father, I also want to fight, but we don't have enough troops. Even if we defeat it, we won't have that many troops to defend it. Instead, it will expose our shortcomings of insufficient troops and allow other countries to take advantage of it."
Speaking of this, Ning Sheng thought of the two lost cities to the east again, and became even more annoyed:
"Don't tell me this is why the east side lost two cities!"
Ning Yan hurriedly reassured:
"Father also knows that Tuoba Tao is a good player on the battlefield. The emperor's aunt has discussed with us a long time ago. She feels that Longzhou and Qianyang are not safe, but she doesn't know how to defend them. Sure enough, this time Tuoba Tao Tao actually dug a road in the mountains and attacked Qianyang by surprise, so that Chencang and Qianyang were lost, and his troops..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Sheng stood up and slapped the case, making Ning Yan look at him confused:
"Hmph! What kind of surprise attack! I think it was Xun who threw it away on purpose! Is she in league with Tuoba Tao?!" Fu sat down again and looked at Ning Yan seriously. "You haven't found out who Xun wants to support to ascend the throne in these years." ?"
Ning Yan looked at him and sighed secretly:
After so many years, why is the father still holding on to the emperor's aunt and not getting out of the horns yet?
But you can’t say that on the face, doing Tai Chi:
"Father, the emperor's aunt has been inactive for the past few years, and I can't find out."
"No action? Did you notice something? What a fox!" After thinking about it, he glared at Ning Yan dissatisfiedly, "I told you not to call me Huang Aunt anymore. That woman has nothing to do with us anymore. Why are you still calling me Huang?" Auntie! You just don’t watch out for her and let her take advantage of you!"
Ning Yan nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I have remembered this time. Father, please rest assured."
After mumbling a few more words, Ning Sheng left. Ning Yan felt a headache and pinched his eyebrows. Eunuch Hao poured him a glass of water:
"Your Majesty, please rest. General Lezheng, Master Zhuo, General Wang, and General Shi are all over there in Longzhou. They must be fine. Don't worry too much." He put the water in front of his hand. "Master Zhuo doesn't want the emperor to drink too much." For tea, the old slave poured the emperor a cup of water."
Ning Yan thanked him, drank half a glass of water, and said to Eunuch Hao:
"What kind of demon do you think my father is obsessed with? The emperor is so kind, why do you hold on to the emperor and won't let go?"
Eunuch Hao glanced at Ning Yan. In fact, he didn't know why, but since the emperor asked, he had to answer:
"The Emperor may have his own concerns."
Ning Yan listened to Eunuch Hao's advice and went to bed for a while. Only he knew how much help Xun had helped. At least with Xun here, he didn't have to worry about the east side.
Ning Fang has been busy hitting the back of his head these years, almost to the point of hitting the Buddha's head. Now that Longzhou is under siege, he is very worried about Xun, but Xun's words, "There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart, and there is no greater sorrow than silence." He didn't know how to get close to her, and he didn't understand how wrong he was to let her say this.
After finally having some free time, I dragged my tired body back to the palace. When I was walking to the main courtyard, by some strange coincidence, I ended up in the courtyard where Hyun originally lived.
This courtyard has not been maintained due to anger with Xun. Over the years, it has become dilapidated. Since the divorce, Ning Yu has never been here again. Seeing it like this today, it made her feel panicked.
In the past, this was his favorite place. There was always laughter and laughter in this courtyard, which always allowed people to let go of the fatigue and dissatisfaction of the day. But now there is only dust, and the dilapidated scene seems to express the owner's grievances.
Sighing, he walked in. Apart from being covered with thick dust and tangled in spider webs, the furniture looked pretty good. After all, it was for the royal family, and the materials must be the best. However, some of the furniture fell to the ground, as if As if they were being robbed, I picked them up one by one and put them away.
Suddenly, something flashed under a cabinet by the wall. Ning Yan leaned down to dig under the cabinet and took out a jade unicorn. He remembered that it was the first time he organized a rally. Hyun bought it for him when he went to the border for inspection. He found that the unicorn was not there. He didn't want to look for it, because He was holding his breath at the time, and he didn't expect it to be under the cabinet all the time. He probably overturned the table and rolled it inside.
After wiping away the dust and stains on it, a beautiful unicorn appeared vividly in front of Ning Xin's eyes. He remembered the feeling of the rough skin scratching his palm when Xun gave it to him. His heart ached a little. He really wanted to go back. At that time, if I could go back, I would never get angry at Hyun and want to have a good talk with her, but there was no if.
Ning Fang rubbed his heart:
What should I do? Hyun, teach me what should I do.
After sitting here for a while, I felt even more tired. I returned to the main courtyard and asked Jiazi to make a box for Qilin. Then I went to the palace to see the children.
When he was approaching Ruluoji's palace, he heard the laughter of children coming from inside, which dissipated a lot of gloom. He didn't let the palace lady inform him, so he went in secretly, wanting to see how these meat buns were playing so crazy. of.
Suddenly a small figure flashed past his eyes. Ning Xin's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly dodged into the bushes on the roadside and quietly approached the children.
In the past few days, there were many children in the palace. Ning Shu brought Tu Xiheng and her two sons Tu Xiye and Tu Xihan back to visit their relatives. It happened that Ning Cheng and the others were also there, so she brought her three children to the palace. Wan, Ru Liang, Ru Luo Yi, Ning Min's several grandsons and granddaughters are all there. There are nearly twenty children, big and small, as well as the concubines, who sometimes come over to tease the children, so Ru Luo Xi The palace was as lively as a market.
At this time, Yao'er was breathing heavily with her hands on her hips, and glared at Tu Xiye and Tu Xihan who were climbing on the tree and smiling at her:
"What are you two doing climbing so high?!"
Tu Xiye smiled and said:
"Sister can also climb up."
Yao'er rolled her eyes. She really liked the clothes she was wearing today. If it weren't for this clothes, she would definitely have climbed up to take care of these two brats.
Having nothing to do with them, he said to the others:
"Those of you who are brothers and sisters don't know how to show mercy to my sister. You run so fast that I can't catch her."
Ru Liang smiled and said:
"So, you have to continue to climb on the wall and shout red lights, green lights, and white lights."
Yao'er pointed at him and said out of breath:
"Brother Liang, you bad guy, when I grow up, I will arrest you first! Let you climb the wall and scream too!"
Ning Xu smiled and said:
"You have grown up, and Ru Liang has grown even bigger, but you still can't catch him."
Yao'er rushed to Luo Yi and said coquettishly:
"I know that Brother Yi is the best to Yao'er. Yao'er can't run away anymore. What should Brother Yi do?"
For example, when Luo Yi was about to go out, he was pulled back by Ning Cheng:
"You can't spoil her like this. You can't just satisfy her request just because she's acting coquettishly. If you really marry her in the future, that's fine."
Ruo Yi blushed instantly and stuttered a bit when speaking:
"Who, who, who said I want, want, that, marry her?"
Yao'er stomped her feet angrily and shouted to Ning Cheng:
"Are you still my eldest brother? Am I your biological sister?! Did I steal your steamed buns or your water?"
Ning Cheng did not answer her words. Ning Meng smiled and said:
"You stole our meat and ate it."
Yao'er choked and said that he did grab a lot of meat during lunch.
Ning Ping smiled and said:
"Are you speechless? After eating so much meat, how can I not let you have a good run?" (To be continued)
