The world of rebirth

Yangcheng's hunger strike gave him some extra benefits, which was an unexpected gain for him.

Ning Jingxian was afraid that he would be starved, as long as he was in the mansion, he would keep him close by as much as possible, and would find time to feed him when the time came.Moreover, Yangcheng is not like ordinary children who cry and make noises for no reason. He is quiet most of the time, and even being in the same room does not have much impact on his handling of affairs. got used to.

In this way, being able to stay with Ning Jingxian often, Yang Cheng could hear some news from inside and outside the palace.

For example, it made Yang Cheng's teeth itch -- after all, the eldest son of the emperor was Fu Bo, who died before the full moon, and was buried in a small coffin in the imperial mausoleum.

Another example is the one that made him feel a little bit resentful—the original Second Prince—now the First Prince—how lively the Full Moon Banquet and the Hundred Days Banquet were.

There was also some news about which minister in the court was unlucky again, who made a mistake and lost his official position, which made Yang Cheng a little startled by the fierce melee between the court and China, and followed the people in the mansion to discuss the emperor in private. When he wanted to establish a prince but was opposed by the officials, Ning Jingxian went home less and less frequently, and his expression became more and more serious.

Especially as it gets closer to December—the day when the eldest prince turns one year old, Ning Jingxian only came back for a few days in a month. Yang Cheng saw him only a few times, and only saw him frowning every day. Dead, it seems, is getting more and more stressful.

While silently watching the current situation, while practicing kung fu and living his own life, Yang Cheng has unknowingly reached the time when he is about to turn one year old.The Second Young Master of the Ning Mansion he replaced was only a few days older than himself. Although Ning Jingxian was very busy on his birthday on December [-]st, the housekeepers started to prepare for the Zhou ceremony and held a banquet to invite relatives and friends.

Yang Cheng was actually muttering in his heart, he had seen Ning Jingxian arrange people to decorate the house at home for several days, and he also ordered the housekeeper to strengthen the defense of the house.

In Yang Cheng's view, Ning Jingxian's extraordinarily high importance is a bit wrong. He is only the second son. Is a full moon wine worth such a big scene, especially when the girls talked about Ning Jingxian back then? As the eldest son of the direct line, Yun Ting didn't get this kind of treatment, which made him feel even more wrong.

Yang Cheng, who is about to turn one year old, has been keen to evolve towards upright walking, and always breaks free from the arms of nurses and maids to practice walking on the kang.

Ning Jingxian seems to like watching him practice walking, and recently he always gets people to carry him into his room.Although the two father and son were in the same room, Ning Jingxian didn't pay much attention to him. After putting him on the kang, he would write or read a book in front of the desk, and only occasionally looked up at him, with a kind of embarrassment. Yang Cheng smiled furiously.

Yang Cheng himself doesn't know how cute he looks when he's practicing hard now. Although the kang was burned in winter, he is still wrapped up like a ball of cotton balls. Although he can walk a few steps at his current age, he sometimes legs. Falling softly, and then struggling to get up again, like a ball of white and soft meat rolling back and forth on the kang, so repeated, it looks really cute.

This day Yang Cheng was carried to Ning Jingxian's study again, he didn't seem to rest and stayed at home all day.The next day was Yang Cheng's Zhou Catch Ceremony, and it seemed that Ning Jingxian didn't plan to go to the palace again, which made Yang Cheng feel too abnormal.While practicing walking, he wondered where Ning Jingxian spent so much time at home.

While he was guessing wildly, Fu An announced outside the door, "Master, Mr. Fu Chuanfu is here."

"What is he here for?" Ning Jingxian stood up in surprise, frowned, and put the book on the desk.

Fu An said, "Master Fu said that he might not be free to visit the mansion tomorrow, so he specially came to visit the master today, and take a look at the second young master by the way."

Ning Jingxian took two steps back and forth, copying his hands, and ordered, "Master Fu, please come to the study."

It seems to be an "uninvited guest", but to be invited into the study should be a close relationship. Yang Cheng racked his brains to recall the information about the Ning family in his previous life, but it was too old, and there was a life in the middle. I can't remember clearly, but since I have no impression at all, it should be someone who failed to gain a foothold in the court.

Fu Chuan was quickly invited into the study by Feng Songbai, and while he and Ning Jingxian were bowing to each other, Yang Cheng secretly looked at him.

This is a general.

Fu Chuan is a middle-aged man in his 30s, with a square face, thick eyebrows, a short beard, and sharp eyes. He looks shrewd and resolute.Just looking at the way he walks vigorously, Yang Cheng's first impression is that this person is either in the army or a guard in the palace.

Seeing how polite he and Ning Jingxian are to each other, the two of them don't seem to be very familiar friends. How can such a person have such a delicate mind, and even came to visit specially because he couldn't participate in the weekly ceremony of the second son of his colleague, I'm afraid there is another reason.

Sure enough, Yang Cheng's guess was correct, after the tea was served, Ning Jingxian quickly waved away the servants, leaving him only in the room, and the two began to whisper.

Fu Chuan glanced at Yang Cheng who was playing with gadgets by himself with his head down on the kang, "This is your second child, it's a pity that I can't come to Master Ning's house tomorrow to join in the fun. How are you doing?"

"Of course it's already taken care of, Mr. Fu, don't worry." Ning Jingxian looked at his son and smiled, "It's just that Mr. Fu is going to be tired. It's hard work to run errands in this kind of weather."

"It's all for the emperor, so it's hard work." Fu Chuan cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, but his expression became serious, "Speaking of which, there were thieves in the palace two days ago, and Master Ning should also pay attention to the door here. "

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for reminding me." Ning Jingxian looked distressed, "Ever since the emperor decided to appoint a crown prince, there have been constant accidents in the palace. I just hope that it will calm down a little in a few days, so that we can live a peaceful year."

"That's not it!" Fu Chuan sighed, "This time, the emperor is determined to register the crown prince when the eldest prince is one year old. Let's see what excuses those old thieves have to delay."

Ning Jingxian nodded and echoed a few words, and then the conversation between the two turned to discuss some recent news in the mansion newspaper, feeling a little out of words, and soon Fu Chuan found an excuse to leave.

Fu Chuan's inexplicable visit let Yang Cheng know at least two things - the situation of Prince Li and Wen Zhen is not good.

In the past, Yangcheng only learned about this period of history from investigations. This period was almost the time when Wenzhen was cornered by Fumeng Zhuoming's party.According to Da Xia, a child is not considered to be completely immobile until he is one year old, so although Wen Zhen has mentioned several times to establish a crown prince this year, he has been opposed by the court and central ministers for various reasons.

Zuo Shiheng is undoubtedly an old fox, a typical example of seeing no rabbits and not throwing hawks. Before his great-grandson became the prince, although he gave Wen Zhen some help, he did not completely lean towards the emperor.Most of his help to Wenzhen was in the previous dynasty, but in the past few months, there have been accidents in the palace. People who assassinated Wenzhen and the eldest prince appeared in an endless stream, and they were completely preparing to eliminate him physically.

Before the candidate for the crown prince is determined, as long as Wen Zhen dies, his brothers or uncles will be crowned the throne. For this huge benefit, more and more people have been involved in this messy water, and even more than It is only the people of Fumeng Zhuoming's lineage.

Although he knows better than anyone how strong Wenzhen can survive this period, Yang Cheng is still very happy to experience the feeling of experiencing history personally for the first time. Feel the cheerful mood.

Yang Cheng had a sweet dream at night, the dream was full of Wen Zhen, in which he was either assassinated, or imprisoned himself in the Qianqing Palace, beating violently, his face was pale and haggard, and he looked as if he had suffered a great crime.

"Second young master doesn't know what he dreamed about, but he laughed all night yesterday." Zhen Wenxiu wrapped Yang Cheng tightly and said with a smile, "Looking at the little face, I'm so happy, if the master didn't let me carry him to the east courtyard , I really don’t want to wake him up.”

"That's not it! It's rare to see our Second Master so happy when he's not around!" Cuixiang laughed, putting away Yang Cheng's favorite toys and putting them in a cloth bag.She is one of the two first-class maids in Yangcheng. She was originally the maid in his cheap mother-in-law's house. She helped Jinghui, the wife of the Ning family, to manage the house. She was quite respectable in the mansion. Ning Jingxian is ingenious and can read people's eyes. After Ning Jingxian loved Yang Cheng more and more, he was transferred to Yang Cheng's room three months ago.

Yang Cheng was immersed in a sweet dream and really didn't want to wake up. At first he thought that the two of them were going to take him to the front yard, but he didn't expect them to go around and quickly carried him to the east yard. The old Ning mansion is not considered in Beijing. Big, the east courtyard is reserved for the old man Ning Taoxu, because of the existence of the wife of the princess, it is considered the most magnificent courtyard in the mansion.A few days ago, Yang Cheng heard that Ning Jingxian had someone tidy up the east courtyard, and he thought it was his cheap grandfather who was going to Beijing.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, Yang Cheng knew that he had guessed wrong. Although at first glance it looked the same as usual, he had already felt several waves of eyes sweeping over him before stepping into the doorway.

Although he didn't see a Ming post, Yang Cheng was sure that there were no less than ten secret posts nearby.

The old man of the Ning Mansion doesn't have such a big show!

Sure enough, after entering the room, Yang Cheng saw Ning Jingxian standing on the side of the kang with a solemn face, and respectfully said to the young man on the kang, "Your Majesty, this is the second son of my humble minister." Glaring secretly in the direction of Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng only felt his nanny tremble slightly, the hands holding him were trembling.

Zhen Wenxiu didn't dare to aim randomly from the moment she was near the door, especially after knowing who the person in front of her was, she felt even more uneasy. After the Patriarch glared at her, she calmed down, hugged the Second Young Master in her arms, and knelt neatly After coming down, he saluted neatly, and said, "Your servant kowtows to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Excuse me!" Wen Zhen's voice was very cold, and he was wearing a navy blue robe and sitting upright on the kang, with no expression on his face, "Your boy is only a few days away from the eldest prince, this is fate , hug me and let me see."

Zhen Wenxiu quickly got up, lowered her head and hugged Yang Cheng and walked towards the edge of the kang, before she got within five feet, Li Deming stood in front of her and took Yang Cheng over.

Based on Li Deming's understanding of the emperor's mind, since he said he wanted to take a look, he naturally wouldn't want to hug the second young master of the Ning family, so he just carefully placed the child next to the kang table.

Wen Zhen lowered his head and glanced, the infant child was clenching his fists, turning a pair of black eyes to look at him, couldn't help feeling amused, raised his hand and squeezed his face, "This child looks good The appearance seems to be a little bit good!"

Li Deming immediately activated the skill of patting dragon farts, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has the eyes, from the eyes of a villain, this child is somewhat similar to the eldest prince."

Originally, Wenzhen was just an excuse to see this child to give some rewards, to sell some favors to make the Ning family more loyal to him. Where is he in the mood to see a little baby, he just glanced at it casually. Xiang Ning Jingxian, "This baby and the eldest prince are like twins!"

He just said casually, but he didn't know that Ning Jingxian and Yang Cheng were scared to the point of suspension.
