One hundred and ninetieth chapters intrigue (10)
On the third day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Zhenguan, everything is appropriate.
Ning Wen was lying in his pavilion, with two plates of seasonal fruits placed beside him, eating beautifully, finally, he was so relaxed. He lived a comfortable life.[]
On that day, Li Ke was rescued by Wang Xi. The one who was about to assassinate him was Lu Sheng, who had been stabbed twice before. Li Ke was also destined to be lucky. Most people's hearts were on the left, and Sheng Lian also went to the chest. Unfortunately, Lu Sheng was an exception. His heart was the opposite of ordinary people. He grew on the right, and these two swords did not hurt the vital points, but he lost a little blood. Lu Sheng didn't have the energy to chase his wife and children at that time. At the same time, he was also afraid of being followed. He was unconscious for a while. When he woke up, he saw Li Ke in a daze. He felt a stream of blood coming to his head, and took out a short knife from his arms and slashed directly at Li Ke.
The King of Shu was chopped down and blood was flowing. At that time, Wang Xi was stunned and had to send Li Ke to the clinic and report the case to the street patrol. Then it was a furious and all kinds of people flocked to him, so the whole incident also surfaced.
So Li Ke was under house arrest and Ning Wen was dismissed from office, including the head of the Weapon Supervisor, the commander of the artillery battalion, the professor of Hongwenguan, etc.
Ning Wen smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and looked at the dazzling sunshine outside the pavilion, and still felt that there should be an air conditioner or something, but I was afraid it would be very hot at night.
The door of the inner room creaked and opened. Yu'er was giggling and wondering what she was smiling. Behind her was Princess Changle and the second girl who was pregnant for seven months. Xiaowen shuttled between several women, happily smearing his mother's nose.
The three women walked up to Ning Wen, and Yu'er helped Ning Wen add tea and complained:
"The cool pavilion was occupied by Langjun alone!"
Ning Wen smiled, sat up, hugged Xiaowen and put it on her. This kid is almost one and a half years old. His mother gave him good food. She felt very heavy when she held it in her hand. It was probably about twenty pounds.
"Careful, do you understand? Your husband is called casual! Hehe."
Xiaowen sat on Ning Wen and felt uncomfortable. He crawled down, wiped Ning Wen's thighs, turned around and rolled onto the grass beside him.
Changle is now half of the owner in Ning Wen's family. Although no one dares to talk too much, he understands it in his heart, especially Sangouzi and Lao Guo, who have exchanged eyes when they have nothing to do these two days. The resentment is quite strong, just like Ning Wen found a tigress to go home.
Ning Wen smiled knowingly when he looked at Changle. When he remembered this, Ning Wen also thanked Changsun Wuji for fighting with his son Changsun.
That day, he heard that Li Ke was cut down and had been sent to the Imperial Hospital. Changle, Gaoyang, and Li Zhi rushed over to visit him. Ning Wen took Yu'er back home, and he was confused and restless. He didn't sleep all night. When he got up early the next morning, Ning Wen put on his official clothes, hung a fish bag, and sat down on the county van and arrived at the residence of Duke Zhao.
Changsun Wuji sat upright in the middle hall. As a junior, Ning Wen bowed to Changsun Wuji very humbly. It was the first time that he was with Changsun Wuji so close. Ning Wen felt that this person was not as majestic as in the court, but had a seriousness towards his younger generations.
"Your father and I are old friends. Now the boy from the Ning family is so old, and time is unforgivable!"
Changsun Wuji sighed as soon as he arrived, making Ning Wen a little less restrained.
"Uncle Changsun is in his prime, so where does the years come from are unforgivable!"
Ning Wen didn't know how to greet Changsun Wuji, and he couldn't speak well.
"Haha, the Ning family boy doesn't have to be restrained. If you have something to say, it's okay. As long as I can help, I won't stand by and watch your father's face!"
As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, Ning Wen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed:
"Uncle Changsun, Ning Wen said it straightforwardly that Princess Changle and Ning Wen have been in love for a long time. When he heard that Your Majesty was going to marry Changle to Uncle Yu's beloved son, Ning Wen dared to ask Uncle not to accept this matter!!"
Ning Wen also took the initiative. Li Ke would definitely mention this matter. If he was later, he would probably have no chance.
Changsun Wuji was not very surprised, and he smiled bitterly, picked up the tea, took a sip of tea silently, raised his head, looked at Ning Wen, but didn't say anything. Ning Wen was at a loss and sat there awkwardly, waiting for Changsun Wuji to reply.
In a quarter of an hour, Changsun Wuji put down the tea bowl and asked in a low voice:
"I heard that the boy from the Ning family already has two wives and concubines. How could he fall in love with the princess again? Could it be that Ning Wen plans to divorce his wife and marry again?"
Ning Wen shook his head and told Changsun Wuji very bluntly that there was nothing he could do about this, and Changle was unwilling to live with a person who divorced his wife and remarried for the rest of his life, and he had no intention of being Chen Shimei.
"Who is Chen Shimei? I have never heard of the prince-in-law with this name in my court!"
Changsun Wuji touched the beard under his jaw, a little confused.
"Oh, that's right, Ning Wen also read it from miscellaneous books. Just say that, just a metaphor."
Changsun Wuji nodded suspiciously, disbelieving Ning Wen's words, and he had already reported them under his real name. Changsun Wuji was a little suspicious of his memory and planned to take time to ask if there was any prince-in-law named Chen Shimei.
"Your Majesty has this intention. The so-called orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. If Ning Wen really has this intention, why didn't someone ask His Majesty to propose marriage? Why did he find me here?"
"To be honest, I don't feel at ease if I don't give a sure letter!"
Ning Wen knew that he could not hide it from Changsun Wuji, so he just told Changsun Wuji that what he thought.
Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji no longer pretended and told Ning Wen bluntly.
"I'm afraid this matter is not as easy as you think. It's better to think that this matter is to be an official in the same court as your father, so this matter is aborted. It's just that your Majesty is unpredictable, so I can't say anything."
Changsun Wuji finally let go. Ning Wen got Changsun Wuji's accurate letter and was also happy. After chatting for a few more words, Ning Wen got up and said goodbye. Just as he walked out of the door, he met Changsun Chong.
"Haha, is Ning Wen?"
Changsun Chong was still wearing bright clothes, his purple robe and a pair of maroon boots, which made Ning Wen’s eyes lit up. This guy has the potential of a shemale!
"Haha, it's Ning, is Brother Changsun in front of me?"
"Haha, Brother Ning, it's my little brother. Come on, I'm planning to go to your mansion. This is just right, let's have a good chat!"
Changsun laughed at him, held Ning Wen's shoulder, and was about to take Ning Wen into the hall.
"Brother Wei just met Uncle Changsun, why don't we go to Hongyulou to sit?"
Ning Wen was a little surprised. He had always been unfamiliar with him and nodded in Hongwenguan. Is this guy so enthusiastic? Ning Wen had to invite him to take a seat at Hongyue Tower.
"Forget it in that place, why don't we sit in the Qujiang Painting Boat, and the river will be cooler now!"
So Ning Wen followed Changsun Chong to a pleasure boat on Qujiang. As soon as he sat down, Changsun Chong said with a smile:
"Haha, Brother Ning, I'm afraid I'll ask Brother Ning for a drink when I happened yesterday!"
This guy was almost killed by Li Ke yesterday. As for how he came to life, there was such a lively person. Ning Wen really didn't know, so he asked:
"By the way, Brother Chong, didn't you say what happened yesterday?"
Changsun Chong looked at Ning Wen strangely, burst out, laughed again, and said intermittently:
"Hahaha, that's right, I'm also in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I pretend, I'm pretending, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"
"Why did Brother Chong pretend to be dead?"
Chapter completed!
