Chapter 124:

Before Ning Shuo's verdict came out, Ning Lang and Yang Zhen couldn't wait, and were ready to go back to Qingzhou.
It also takes several days for them to get from Beijing to Qingzhou. When they settle down in Qingzhou again, they write back to Beijing, one after another. By the time the letter is sent back from Qingzhou to Beijing, a long time has passed, even Ning Shuo's verdict has come down.
Even if Ning Yanwen and the second wife pleaded again, everyone in the Ning family never let go. The old lady was confined in the yard and never went out. Everyone didn't know if she had any way to contact outsiders, but until Ning Shuo's judgment came out, things didn't turn around.
On the day the verdict came out, Ning Nuan sent a letter to Ning Lang, earlier than Ning Lang's letter. Although Ning Shuo intended to harm others, he still did not do any substantial harm. He neither succeeded in poisoning Ning Lang to death, and later abducted Ning Lang and failed to do anything. Therefore, he was not sentenced to death. But it will be imprisoned for many years. As for when to come out and what treatment will be given in prison, it is another matter.
Ning Shuo was always calm, as if he was not worried about anything, he was not afraid of anything. It was not until the judgment came out that the second lady cried out at the gate of the office, and he finally realized that there was no sign of his allegiance, or even hesitate. Abandoned him, he panicked.
It's just that the matter has been decided, even if he is not reconciled, it is useless, he can only be forced into the cell.
Ning Nuan is still a little curious: "The prince is going to decide to support the third prince?"
"What's wrong with this?" Chu Fei grinned, "I will only move more and more in the future. I only have academies now, but I can still walk around. Waiting for a long time, let alone other princes, the emperor also I can't see it. Now I support the third princes openly. No matter what I do in the future, I can use the third as an excuse.
"But if the prince makes such a decision rashly, the third prince will not immediately believe the prince."
"I know. But I don't believe him either." Chu Fei said, "I grew up in the Queen's Palace. The third child's mother is Jingfei. They all thought I would support the prince. I didn't have a deep friendship with the third child. , I suddenly supported him, everyone else would find it strange, let alone him."
"How can the prince gain the trust of the three princes?"
Chu Fei took a deep look at her, "A Nuan, haven't you guessed this?"
Ning Nuan looked at him suspiciously.
"In this imperial palace, no matter you are dealing with anyone, you have to be separated from your heart. Even if you want to get close to others, you have to hide it, and dare not say anything." Chu Fei said, "I won't If you need to be good with the third one, I just need to give the third one a reason to let him know that I have no feelings for him."
Ning Nuan responded thoughtfully.
"A Nuan, what did Ninglang give you before and let you keep it until now?"
Ning Nuan thought for a while, there are quite a few such things.
Ning Lang was playful when he was a child, but he always thought about her, and always remembered to bring her gadgets every time he came back from the house. This habit has not changed. The food went into the stomach immediately, but many weird gadgets were left behind, and they are still kept in a box by Ning Nuan.
Chu Fei prepared something like this.
A long time ago, it seems to be carefully kept by the owner, with children's toys with Jiangzhou characteristics.
The birth mother of the three princes was Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing came from the Jiangzhou family, but unfortunately, Concubine Jing passed away early.
When the third prince received such a thing, he was stunned for a moment. When he opened the letter sent with the toy, he finally understood. Chu Fei said in the letter that he had received help from Concubine Jing when he was a child, and because he remembered Concubine Jing's kindness, he would help the third prince at this time. As for what the specific help was, Chu Fei murmured in the letter, and the three princes didn't care about it. The Concubine Jing had passed away, and there was no way to check her.
What the third prince wanted was just a reason.
As for the toy that Chu Fei sent along with the letter, he was really familiar with it. Such a Jiangzhou-style thing was the only one in the entire palace that he had ever had, and it was given to him by his mother and concubine. As for whether such a thing had appeared in King An's hands, he didn't remember clearly. All he could remember was that he was not close to King An.
But what if his mother and concubine did contact King An?
In the palace, the three princes also knew something vaguely. For example, although the emperor and the queen mother loved King An, it was not what it appeared to be. Perhaps it was the onlooker, especially after leaving the palace and building a mansion. After entering the court, he could see clearly. Many times, it was clear that they had caused misfortunes, but their father would always find King An to carry them. If you really love it, how can you be willing?
Under such circumstances, the queen and the emperor did not give their sincere efforts. King Xu Shian also noticed something and was moved by the occasional help of his mother and concubine, and even treasured a small toy until now. Although not close to him, it is not impossible for his mother and concubine to reach out and help him.
Anyway, he also used King An.
Instead of letting his silly emperor uncle be used by others, isn't it better to leave this benefit to yourself?
The three princes quickly suppressed the doubts that were still in their hearts, and soon established a bridge of cooperation with An Wang.
Ning Nuan remained silent for a long time after learning about it.
Chu Fei said, "A Nuan, your family has always treated you well, so you may not understand. In the palace, even children know that they can't just make friends with others. Excellent, but she is not my mother concubine either."
In this palace, no matter how young the prince was, even if he was born without a mother, there was still an emperor father. He knew how his emperor brother was, and he was good to all children. Before his nephews grew up, they were loved by the emperor.
He is the only one who has neither a concubine nor a father.
If you say that the royal family doesn't believe in feelings the least, they also believe that feelings can involve someone. Not to mention that he was originally such an example. If it weren't for being restrained by feelings, where would he have helped his nephews carry one after another without complaint.
The third prince saw him so that he would believe what he said.
Ning Nuan still didn't understand. She can get through at one point on weekdays, but today she is rarely at a loss. She doesn't understand why the third princes believed Chu Fei's words so quickly, and Chu Fei was so sure that the third princes would believe it.
If you don't get along day and night and see it with your own eyes, where can you just trust a person you don't know every day?
Even if I received a little favor when I was a child, can this little favor be remembered for so many years?
After all, Wang An is the emperor’s younger brother. Regardless of his back, the pretenders are good. Not to mention that Concubine Jing has never done such a thing. Even if she did it, perhaps it was to please Wang An and the emperor, like There must be a lot of people who please her like this, why is Concubine Jing remembered like this?
Ning Nuan could really not understand.
She was loved by her parents and her elder brother since she was a child. Until now, Jiang Yunlan and Ning Yanting hold her in their palms. Even when Ning Lang went to Qingzhou, she always thought about her and sent her a lot. Things from Qingzhou. Ning Nuan also felt their care and love, and only then worked hard to give back their feelings. She is an emotional person, but affection is also divided into objects, such as Ning Qing, even if she grew up together, she will not be half distracted by her, because Ning Qing has never treated her sincerely.
Seeing her rare confusion, Chu Fei smiled and said, "A Nuan, look, even if it is unreasonable to you, the third child still believes it. You just listen to me. No one knows them better than I do. People."
Ning Nuan had no choice but to stop mentioning it.
Although she was puzzled, she also had to admit that the third prince really believed in Chu Fei. After Chu Fei showed his good intentions this time, the third prince expressed his gratitude and also took the initiative to reveal some of his cards in his hand.
The three princes kept a low profile for many years, but they were not without achievements in the DPRK. His power in Jiangzhou was even beyond Chu Fei’s imagination. There were many officials from Jiangzhou in the DPRK, most of whom were his people. Many are neutrals, and some are even the prince and the eldest prince who are wooing them. No one knows that they actually took refuge in the third prince.
During the ceremony, Chu Fei also revealed to him some things about the prince and the eldest prince.
He has some secret guards in his hands. Among those secret guards who are very good at collecting information, Chu Fei has collected a lot of things about these princes in private. Now he picks and chooses and sends some of the three princes to show his favor. , Also let the three princes see his benefits.
The three princes were really surprised.
"Uncle Emperor, I never knew that there are these capable people under your hand? Don't even the emperor know?"
Chu Fei nodded.
The three princes searched.
Chu Fei said: "In order to protect oneself, one has to hide some hole cards in his hands."
But now for the third prince, he even took out his hole cards. Chu Fei hinted.
The third prince really understood.
As for these hidden guards, Chu Fei also explained in detail when talking to Ning Nuan.
"Do you remember that my mother and concubine had a good relationship with Master Huizhen before?" Chu Fei said, "Before my mother and concubine entered the palace, she was fortunate to do a small favor for Master Huizhen, and she has become acquainted with Master Huizhen since then. These people of mine were also found by the great monk before. They used to be my mother's concubine's people. They were not handed over to me until I left the palace to build the mansion. According to him, it was before my mother's concubine died. Please ask him about it. Master Huizhen told me that I couldn't tell anyone, because it was my mother and concubine's dying entrustment, I didn't talk to the emperor and queen mother."
Unexpectedly, he was guarded by these people in his previous life, and he could escape from the capital to Yunshan Temple. Even if he didn't escape death in the end, he still had to thank Master Huizhen.
Now it seems that this is the last guarantee his mother and concubine left him.
When Chu Fei said it, she was also a little embarrassed.
"Thanks to Master Huizhen." Ning Nuan said gratefully: "If it weren't for the powerful characters in the hands of the prince, I am afraid that the prince would not be able to walk much now."
Chu Fei couldn't help nodding.
Since he was young, Master Huizhen has indeed helped a lot. When Concubine Shu passed away, he was still in his infancy. He could not remember anything, let alone speak. Fortunately, Concubine Shu was agile and explained everything to Master Huizhen, and Master Huizhen has remembered everything for so many years. , And still stand behind him.
Even in his previous life, until the last moment, even if the soldiers and horses surrounded Yunshan Temple, Master Huizhen didn't let go of him. He went out by himself and took the glass of poisoned wine.
...
On the ninth day of February, the first exam in Chunwei began.
This time Zhu Hanshan was already living in the capital, and he didn't even need the Ning family to help. The Xue family took over everything.
Miss Xue was very nervous, no matter whether she was married or not, every day, the Xue family’s carriage would stop at the door of the small courtyard where Zhu Hanshan lived. Miss Xue would bring soup every day, better than Zhu Hanshan’s examinee. Even more nervous.
Jiang Yunlan originally wanted to help, even if he couldn't help Zhu Hanshan, it was okay to help take care of Mrs. Zhu when Zhu Hanshan was busy. But Miss Xue took it all over, and sent an extra maid to look after Mrs. Zhu, and she was obediently handling everything, so that Jiang Yunlan couldn't pick out a mistake, and couldn't intervene.
Seeing that Miss Xue was so nervous, Jiang Yunlan had to give up, and turned around to tease Mrs. Xue, making Mrs. Xue helpless.
On the opening day of Chunwei, the Xue family’s carriage brought Zhu Hanshan to the entrance of the examination room, and Miss Xue put Yiying in his hands, her eyes worried and firm.
"A Nuan said, you will definitely pass the exam. Mrs. Ning said, you will definitely pass the exam, even my dad said the same." Miss Xue trembled nervously, but her mouth still said firm words: "You Don't worry, you will definitely pass the exam."
I wish Hanshan helpless.
Miss Xue has been given countless tonic soups recently, and his complexion is much better than before. The other candidates lost a lot of weight when they were preparing for the spring season. He fell well, his waist was thicker, and even last year's clothes did not fit.
Zhu Hanshan took the things and nodded firmly: "I will definitely pass the exam."
Miss Xue let out a long sigh of relief, and then soon began to worry that he would be arrogant and complacent, and the whole person was even more nervous than before.
She watched Zhu Hanshan enter the examination room, and waited outside until there was not even one candidate, then she got into the carriage, and hurriedly went to Wangan's Mansion to find Ning Nuan.
Ning Nuan had been prepared early in the morning and sat in the room waiting for her. When she heard the maid's announcement, she was not surprised at all.
As soon as Miss Xue entered the door, she immediately grabbed her hand and said nervously, "A Nuan, I wish you son, he has already started the test..."
Ning Nuan expertly comforted: "Now that the trial has begun, you have to wait at home for nine days before you can wait for Master Zhu to come out. Within these nine days, you won't see Master Zhu's person. Nothing like this. If you are nervous, it’s better to have a good rest, so that you don’t have to be tired and sick before Master Zhu is out of the examination room. If this is the case, Master Zhu will definitely feel sorry for you when he comes out.
Miss Xue couldn't help being shy, but she still couldn't help but worry and said: "For nine full days, I heard my father say that the environment here is not good. I wish my son is not in good health. In the past years, many candidates were sick. Falling inside, what should I do if Mr. Zhu is also sick?"
Ning Nuan: "..."
Ning Nuan comforted her again: "Master Xue has already taken care of it, and this stuff has been prepared. Master Zhu's health is much better than before. He has survived the previous examinations, let alone this time."
Miss Xue nodded, and then asked, "What if?"
Ning Nuan had to divert her attention.
She took out the newly made jewelry from the box. Sure enough, Miss Xue's attention was quickly diverted by the jewelry.
"A Nuan, is this from King An again for you?" Miss Xue said in awe-inspiring manner: "His Royal Highness An treats you very well. I heard from outside that His Royal Highness An is the one who loves you the most. He wants everything good. Hold it in front of you, even my father mentioned it to me."
Ning Nuan was a little embarrassed to be said.
She whispered; "The prince is just too public."
"So what, in the capital, I don't know how many people envy you." Miss Xue said with a longing look: "If I wish my son can treat me like this in the future..."
"I wish you son has always treated you very well."
Miss Xue's face turned red.
Zhu Hanshan was aloof, but he was sincere and sincere to Miss Xue. When Master Xue offered to make a marriage appointment, he immediately agreed. Miss Xue was still a little worried. Later, when Zhu Hanshan was unwilling to accept her kindness, Miss Xue even more. Is worried. Until later, Jiang Yunlan came forward and asked Zhu Hanshan to move from Zhujiacun to the capital. Since then, Zhu Hanshan's attitude towards her has suddenly softened a lot.
She was far away before, and she couldn't see it, but now she is close, but she feels it. Zhu Hanshan has a lot of money, but he is still copying books to earn money. Part of the money he earned is used for household purposes, and part of the money he earns is kept by Mrs. Zhu. But every time he gets money, he always thinks about buying things for her. . There are many things hidden in Miss Xue's room.
Even now, Zhu Hanshan is willing to express his feelings, Miss Xue will not misunderstand him, and can feel his inferiority and hesitation even more.
Miss Xue blushed, lowered her head, wringed a veil in her hands, and whispered: "After the hall has tried it, Lord Zhu and I will want to...and so..."
"It's about to get married," Ning Nuan continued.
Miss Xue's face was even redder, this time from blushing to the base of her ears, even her fingertips were flushed.
Ning Nuan smiled and said, "I will definitely prepare enough gifts for you."
Miss Xue was too embarrassed to say a word.
When Ning Nuan was teased, she suddenly forgot the previous tension. When she came out of Prince An's Mansion, she finally remembered again, but she was full of her own marriage, and she was not as nervous as before.
After the 9th, the entrance to the examination room was wide open, and the Xue family's carriage was waiting outside early, watching Zhu Hanshan emerge from the inside, and the servants immediately greeted him.
Zhu Hanshan glanced behind them subconsciously.
The subordinate smiled and said: "Mother Zhu, our master sent a minion to pick you up, and our young lady is also waiting in the mansion!"
I wish Hanshan immediately ashamed.
Last time, he went directly to the Ning’s home after taking the test. This time he went straight to his home in the capital.
After nine consecutive days of the test, he was exhausted, he went back and washed it quickly, and immediately fell asleep. When I woke up, I finally took care of myself again, got in the digging cart waiting outside, and went to Xue's house.
And the Xue family, not only the Xue family, but also the Ning family, and Wang An are here.
Everyone congratulated him in advance, and Zhu Hanshan said, "I feel very confident in this test."
Master Xue frowned: "Don't be careless."
Zhu Hanshan should havetily.
Everyone in the Ning family praised it sincerely, especially Ning Yanting, who nodded in agreement.
In his last life, Zhu Hanshan won a good ranking, and even later passed the number one in the exam. In this life, he said he was confident, so he must be very confident!
Wait for a try and put on the list, and sure enough, he won the Huiyuan.
The last homecoming examination was a solution to the yuan, and this time I won the Huiyuan again. This is a double win!
I wish the old lady almost fainted happily when she heard the news, and after she calmed down, she repeatedly said that the Buddha blessed her. And Master Xue was also full of joy on the face, no matter how the Zhu Hanshan Palace tried, just winning two yuan is already a very praiseworthy thing! This is his future son-in-law!
Naturally, Ning Nuan did not forget to write to Qingzhou.
Qingzhou also prepared things early and sent them over. Last time it was a tiger skin, this time it was a fox skin, but the fox skin was a bit ugly, and looked a little miserable when he died.
Ning Lang said in the letter that this was what he had hunted for the first time, relying only on himself, without asking anyone to help.
Zhu Hanshan collected it carefully, and wondered: "Didn't he hit the tiger skin last time?"
Ning Nuan sighed, and did not reveal his brother.
The hall test will be followed immediately after the meeting.
This time, Miss Xue was really nervous. She took Ning Nuan’s hand. No matter how Ning Nuan persuaded her, she couldn’t calm herself down. Whenever she heard something outside, she would immediately rush out. When she found it had nothing to do with Zhu Hanshan At that time, they will come back disappointed.
After finally waiting for Zhu Hanshan to finish her exam, she finally felt relieved.
And the results of the palace exam came out soon.
Zhu Hanshan won the champion like in his previous life!
Ning Yanting and Jiang Yunlan were prepared long ago. Ning Nuan had listened to them countless times and was also psychologically prepared. Only wish the old lady, when they heard the news, they couldn't believe it. The person holding the report confirmed it several times. It wasn't until the answer was affirmative several times that she took a breath, and this time she passed out.
Everyone was in turmoil for a long time. I wish the old lady a long time to wake up.
Xu was because of the happy event. This time her complexion was very good, as if she had disappeared from years of illness and her face was full of joy.
I wish Hanshan won the champion!
If you have to understand the Yuan in the country test, you can get the Yuan in the test, and add a champion, that is to win the triple!
Three yuan and the first!
In the past few decades, no examinee has had such honor, and for a while, everyone's attention has fallen on him.
For Zhu Hanshan, in addition to the champion, there is another major event in life before him.
As Miss Xue said earlier, after the palace exam, he and Miss Xue were finally married.
