On the afternoon of the day after watching the military training, King Ning received two baskets of honeydew melons from Dianzhong Province.

"The prince, the prince said, since you like to eat honeydew melons, you should finish eating these two baskets of honeydew melons. Don't waste the thoughts of your prince." The leading eunuch smiled, "His Royal Highness also said, if you like After eating, any melons will be delivered to you first."

King Ning looked at the two baskets of melons, his calf trembling a little.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." King Ning asked his servants to carry the two baskets of melons into his yard and sighed a long time. Although he likes to watch the excitement, he was really unintentional this time.

How can he finish eating so many honeydew melons?

With the prudent eyes of the prince, if he knew that he would distribute these honeydew melons to his servants, he might be able to send four baskets of melons tomorrow, and people would stare at him to finish eating.

"Come here, take out the clothes for this king to do errands."

Hearing the word "doing", King Ning's attendant eunuch was a little worried and hesitated: "The prince, Concubine Rong said that you are not allowed to do this kind of thing again."

"This Wang Wen is not successful, Wu is not enough, he can't do anything, and he can't be a little hobby?" He waved his hand impatiently, "Go go, go quickly."

The attendant eunuch feels distressed. Others' hobby is poetry and painting. The prince of his family is special. He likes to put on bunting clothes and mixes with the market stalls to buy things. When he is fine, he likes to talk to the old lady who sells vegetables.

Concubine Rong has been scolded and beaten, but the prince's problem can't be corrected.

The subordinates had no choice but to change into coarse cloth clothes and pretend to be a vendor and put the stall together with the prince to protect his safety.

King Ning put the little horse away and greeted the nearby vendors skillfully.

"Wang Old Second, it's been a long time since I saw you come out to set up a stall. The family has made a fortune?" The vegetable vendor who sells bamboo shoots next to him pointed to the sky.

"A few days ago, my brother found a rich daughter-in-law, and the family has become richer." King Ning put his hands in his sleeves and said proudly, "My sister-in-law is very nice. I bought a big house for my family. I can’t help but miss the big guy again, so I came out and set up a stall to pass the time."

"Oh, good thing." The bamboo shoot vegetable vendor said enviously, "If I were you, I would be a master at home. What kind of vegetables are I selling?"

"Why do you love your own business?" King Ning arranged the honeydew melons neatly. "What's going on recently? Tell me about it?"

"I think you are not here to sell vegetables, or you are bored at home and come to talk to us." The fish-selling couple next to them smiled, "Don't tell me, there are so many new things that have happened recently."

King Ning is very popular in the food market. First, he never robs other vendors for business. Second, the stalls he buys are often not used. He doesn't mind if others borrow and use them. Third, he gives away the things he can’t sell. To the big guys, very generous.

The most important point is that when you talk to him about gossip, he listens very carefully, so that people who talk about gossip feel very fulfilled.

King Ning’s question immediately caused everyone's sorrow. In the afternoon, there were few customers in the food market, and everyone was dozing off idle. It would be great to be able to chat to pass the time.

So the man who said that the man is not a thing, stealing food outside with his wife on his back. Who said that the mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law harshly, causing her daughter-in-law and her son to reconcile.

The most exciting thing is that the Dong family’s son, who originally belonged to the Western family, listened to Wang Ning with gusto, and opened a few melons to share with everyone on the spot, allowing everyone to eat and talk.

"I recently heard a small piece of news. Don't spread it out. It has something to do with the nobles in the palace. It will be lost if you spread it out." The bamboo shoot vegetable vendor has a mysterious look, which suffocates everyone's appetite.

The face of King Ning’s guard, who pretended to be a vendor, changed. King Ning handily divided a piece of melon to the vegetable vendor: “Quickly tell, we are all ordinary people. Even if we want to spread it, there is no noble person to listen to us.”

"You can blow it hard, you are a bamboo shooter, can you know about the nobles?" The fish-buying woman sighed, "I think you just want to cheat Wang Er to eat melons."

The bamboo shoot vegetable vendor was unhappy, and said: "Do you know the princess?"

"You know, isn't it the emperor's daughter?"

"The emperor’s sister, that is also a princess." The bamboo shoot seller said, "I have a relative who pours Yexiang to the rich man’s house. The other night, he saw a man in black from the princess’ house. Jumping around. The man in black looked tall and moved so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Huh!" The vendors suddenly felt energetic, "Could it be that it belongs to the princess..."

The people at the bottom level usually have no fun to entertain. Hearing someone's troubles becomes their after-dinner conversation. If it is about the nobles, then they will be more interested.

"I heard that the princess's husband was still a famous and beautiful man in Beijing, but he was still cucked." Everyone thought about how the princess secretly had a tryst with the little white face. Tolerate this kind of thing?"

Seeing these people talk more and more nasty, King Ning hurriedly said: "Don't guess, maybe you are a little thief who wants to steal from the princess mansion?"

"Which little thief will enter and exit through the side door?" the bamboo shoot seller affirmed, "There must be a problem here."

Infinite guesses poured out of King Ning's heart, and he smiled and nodded: "You make sense."

"And my relative has seen it more than once." The bamboo shoot seller mysteriously said, "but my relative said that yesterday afternoon, the man in black was taken away by the Dali Temple. Maybe it was the scholar who knew he was caught. The princess wore a green hat, but she couldn't get angry, and she didn't dare to lose her temper at the princess, so she could only let people arrest the adulterer."

"You mean, the adulterer, the adulterer, was taken away by the people from Dali Temple yesterday afternoon?" King Ning didn't dare to eat melon now, and the melon in his hand was scared.

"Then there can be fakes?" The bamboo shoot seller said, "My relatives were very impressed with the adulterer. When the Dali Temple arrested someone, he recognized it at a glance. But the adulterer looks quite ordinary, too. I don’t know what the princess is fond of.

I don’t know if can do it, but Ning Wang’s heart is full of turbulent waves, and he can’t even listen to the parents who are most interested in him. He found an excuse to leave the food market, went home and changed clothes and ran into the palace.

In the Chenyang Palace, Emperor Changlong was reading a secret report.

"The hawksbill prince died of illness." Emperor Changlong handed the secret report to the prince. "I remember the three princes of the tortoiseshell kingdom, who were also born by the Queen of the Palace?"

"Yes, He Yuanting and the prince were both born of the queen. When the hawksbill prince died, he was the only son." The prince looked at the secret report, and the hawksbill prince died half a month ago. Does He Yuanting, who stayed in the capital of Dajin at this moment, know? this matter?

If he knew, then he was too calm.

In the impression of the prince, He Yuanting was a gentle prince, except for the merits of his appearance, there was almost no shining point. If he doesn't speak, no one can notice him.

"Father, didn't we leave the Jinpo envoy as a guest?" The prince put the secret report on the table and said slowly, "As the master, you can't treat the guests favorably, so we also leave the tortoiseshell envoy to live in the capital. Month."

Emperor Changlong smiled and cursed: "Are you trying to piss off the three tortoiseshell princes?"

"The son is kind enough to keep them as a guest, so why is he angry?" The prince laughed, "The Hawksbill Kingdom didn't want us to summon them some time ago, but in the next month, we will summon them every three or five times."

"You make sense, just do what you want." The Emperor Changlong knew that the prince wanted to hold the trip of the three tortoiseshell princes in order to find out what happened recently, so he didn't intend to block his plan.

"Your Majesty, King Ning, please see me."

"Xuan." Emperor Changlong sighed. This second son usually doesn't like to look for him. He will only come to please him when he wants something to eat or if the money is not enough.

All day long, there is no right thing to do, nothing to do, nothing left to eat.

"Father." King Ning walked into the hall and saw that the prince was also there. He hurriedly said what he had heard, and said by the way: "I think there is a problem with Prince Xie."

"Where is the vendor who sells bamboo shoots? Did you ask who his relatives are?" Emperor Changlong's expression changed slightly, even his sitting posture changed.

"Of course the vendor who sells bamboo shoots is in the vegetable market." King Ning looked at his father blankly, as if wondering why he asked such a stupid question.

Emperor Changlong took a deep breath and silently reminded himself that this is his own son, and he cannot scold or beat him. He is so angry that there is no one to replace him, so he must be calm and restrained.

"Come on, go to the vegetable market and find the bamboo shoot hawker, and immediately protect him and his relatives." Seeing that his father was so angry, the prince got up and walked to the door to summon Jin Jiawei. Delay. In addition, try to cover up your whereabouts as much as possible, and you can't get mad."

"Yes!" Jin Jiawei retreated.

Hearing the order from the prince, Emperor Changlong finally calmed down a bit. Fortunately, he still had a sober son, otherwise he would be so angry that he would die young.

When the prince came back, Ning Wang cautiously said: "Third prince, thanks to the melon you sent, I can inquire about this news."

"The prince sent you a honeydew melon. What does it have to do with you hearing what the hawker said?" Emperor Changlong looked at King Ning suspiciously, "What did you do?"

The prince glanced at the hesitant appearance of Brother Erhuang, smiled and took a sip of the teacup, just like the son of elegant who did not stain the world.

"Father, son... son..." King Ning dare not say.

Emperor Changlong no longer paid attention to him, and directly announced King Ning’s attendant eunuch in: "For you, what are your masters doing recently?!"

When the attendant eunuch saw Emperor Changlong, his legs were weak in fright, but he did not dare to betray his master. The whole person was shaking like grass in the cold wind.

"Father." After seeing the trembling of the master and servants, the prince said lazily, "The second emperor has always been safe and won't cause any major trouble. If it weren't for the second emperor today. We still can’t hold onto such a big deal. You should not punish him for his meritorious deeds this time.”

Emperor Changlong took a deep breath, and didn’t want to punish his second son in front of his third son, so he said, “Don’t just sit idle all day and not do business. Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Engineering to learn how to do things. The Ministry of Engineering is busy with food and seeds. You will also follow the selection process."

To King Ning, this news is tantamount to a thunderbolt. He pleaded on the spot: "Father, do you think that your son is the kind of person who does business? For the sake of the adults of the Ministry of Engineering, please take your life back."

Emperor Changlong: "..."

What did he do in his last life to have such a cub?

Finally, amidst the roar of Emperor Changlong, King Ning walked away crying and took a job from the Ministry of Industry. His sad and lonely figure is like commemorating his passing leisurely life.

"Father, calm down." The prince exchanged a cup of tea for Emperor Changlong. "Look, it's getting late, and the son thinks..."

"Don't think about anything. You don't want to go anywhere until the memorial is approved." Emperor Changlong said ruthlessly. "My daughter-in-law, I cheered for you to marry me, and the jewelry and jade in the private library were also moved to the East Palace by you. What else do you think?"

The prince smiled and said, "I think you should be hungry. Would you like to have dinner?"

Emperor Changlong: "..."

Thinking of his son caring about his body, but he lost his temper towards him, Emperor Changlong felt a little guilty, his tone softened, and asked Zhao Sancai to prepare dinner.

After the dinner was over, the prince continued to smile and said: "Father, in a few days, the banquet to the nations will be over, and the summer will follow in a blink of an eye. After summer is over, winter is not far away."

"What do you want to say?" After eating, Emperor Changlong's mood has stabilized.

As a tired old father, he has been accustomed to his sons, so he has a wealth of experience in calming emotions.

"Should you help your son to urge the Qin Tianjian to let them figure out a happy day that is suitable for everything, so that the son and Princess Fushou will get married?"

"Didn't you have run to the Qintian Supervisor several times in the past few days?" Emperor Changlong sighed. He knew that the third son had suddenly become so patient, and he must have asked for something.

"Without your order, they are very lax in doing things." The prince said, "I think August is very good. It is a good time for both lukewarm and lukewarm days."

Emperor Changlong nodded helplessly: "I will discuss this with Hua Aiqing and Wei Aiqing."

"Thank you, Father." The prince had achieved his goal and sat in a chair obediently, helping Emperor Changlong to finish reviewing the memorial.

"Father, the night is deep, you should go back to the bedroom to rest." The prince put down the Zhubi, rubbing his hands and said, "I heard that some envoys sent a lot of beautiful gems this time, and my son wanted to make some gemstone clothes for his wife. , Look..."

"roll!"

How wicked he was in his last life, only to be fathers to these stinky boys in this life?

"Thank you Father, I will go and pick gems." As Da Jin's thickest cheating old man, the prince smiled and walked to the Emperor Changlong private library.

Emperor Changlong: "..."

The author has something to say: Excuse me, how to judge the unhealthy trend of the Dajin royal family?

Prince: Thank you for your invitation. Just out of the Imperial Study, I am in the emperor's private library. It's cool to chew the old for a while, and it's always cool to chew the old.
