Chapter 20 Doubt

Jiang Chengjia gently took Ning Nanyou's hand, walked towards the hall of the side hall, and said with a smile, "I made soup for Erlang."

Ning Nanyou expressed surprise again and whispered, "The nobles lived in the boudoir, how can they do things about cooking? Your brother is in the mansion, maybe you cook?"

Jiang Chengjia snorted and said disdainfully, "The nobles next to him naturally do not allow him to enter the kitchen, and his fingers are not touched by spring water, but I am different. Since I was a child, my brother wandered around, and there are only two brothers and brothers in the family. My brothers make a living everywhere, and I always have to learn something to share some hardships and sorrows for him."

He felt very funny when she looked down on a noble lady. She said whatever she said, and she was not afraid of it. Her eyes were as clean as a piece of uncensored jade, which made his heart feel much more relaxed, and his whole body was less gloomy.

Jiang Chengjia called Xiaohuangmen to bring the meal she had made in the morning to the hall, and said warmly, "I don't know what Erlang likes to eat, what I did in the kitchen, so I did. Don't dislike Erlang."

The waiter brought the soup to eat. Stewed with almond mushrooms, bacon, fried eggs in the cloud legs, and stewed porridge in tender pigeons, and other dishes were all his favorites on weekdays. Ning Nanyou was secretly suspicious and looked at Jiang Chengjia with a look of inquiry and said strangely, "A Luo is in harmony with me, are these exactly what I like to eat?"

Jiang Chengjia knew that he must have become suspicious again, so a helplessness arose in his heart, "Do Erlang suspect me again? Looking at me with such a strange look, it seems like he is looking at a thief again. I don't want to ask people around you what you like to eat and what ingredients you have in the kitchen, so I do the same. I also like to eat these dishes on weekdays. If Erlang is suspicious, he doesn't have to say anything to me that I believe in my nonsense."

She pouted with displeasure, with a look of grievance in her eyes, and turned around and ignored him. Ning Nanyou sighed slightly, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food and ate it silently.

A fried egg with cloud legs shocked him. Since he was a child, he had never eaten such a crispy and tender egg cake. The cloud legs were fragrant, soft and glutinous, and the aftertaste was endless. Ning Nanyou's eyes shone in and he ate it on his own, regardless of whether Jiang Chengjia next to him was still angry.

Jiang Chengjia naturally heard his movements, but she refused to turn around and eat with him before he coaxed her. Ning Nanyou finally realized that he was wrong, so he quietly moved to her side and quietly served her a bowl of pigeon meat porridge and said, "It's time to have a meal. It's too late. Lady, and so on, we still need to go with me to thank the emperor and pay our respects to my father."

He touched her arm a little unnaturally, and said softly, and he had already pulled his face down and talked to her. Jiang Chengjia naturally knew that he should not continue to be angry with him at this time, so he turned around with a grievance and faced him, and said coldly, "Will the Lord... still doubt A Luo in the future?"

Ning Nanyou sighed, "I have always been so kind, and I don't doubt you. Don't be too careful."

Jiang Chengjia is very good at grasping the position and knows that it is not easy to let Ning Nanyou say this. If he acts coquettishly and obediently, it will backfire.

So she took the porridge that Ning Nanyou had served for her and whispered, "Don't be angry, Erlang, it's true that I'm too forced to you."

She said this softly and felt a little disappointed. She lowered her head slightly and ate the porridge obediently, which made Ning Nanyou feel inexplicably distressed.

He didn't know what to say to her anymore, so he got up and sat back in his seat again.

The two suddenly fell silent.

When Ning Nanyou put down his chopsticks, Jiang Chengjia also finished eating at the same time. The two looked at each other. Ning Nanyou took the initiative to speak, "Let's go, it's time to thank the emperor."

Jiang Chengjia nodded. Ning Nanyou saw that her face was not very good, and suddenly thought about it, stretched out his hand to her and called, "A Luo."

She was a little flattered when she saw him reaching out her hand, and suddenly she was at a loss. Ning Nanyou smiled helplessly, held her hand, and took her outside.

Jiang Chengjia suddenly felt that it seemed that Fu Yang in this life was not that difficult to get along with.

"Thank you today, your brother will go too." He led her slowly back and asked softly on the way. She was slightly stunned and said, "Of course, I want to thank you together."

Ning Nanyou whispered, "But my father won't go, will Aluo mind?"

She frowned slightly and said, "When it comes to father, why doesn't he even show up for our wedding?" She asked curiously as if she didn't know anything.

Ning Nanyou's face immediately became gloomy when he heard her mention this. He turned his head and said expressionlessly, "The day of the wedding is the birthday of Wang Wang's mother."

His tone was obviously dull and without any turbulence. But her heart still trembled slightly. She knew that her pretending to be ignorant had already touched the most painful part in his heart.

But she had to do this. At this time, she was just a pawn that he had tried his best to win over the power and used all means to get. She knew that she was nothing in his heart at this time, and she couldn't even count his wife. He was willing to play with her and respect her, but because he wanted to win over his brother.

She looked embarrassed and guilty and whispered, "I...I'm sorry."

Ning Nanyou sneered, and before her, it was hard to see his face clearly. Then she heard him say, "No need to say sorry to me."

He led her back to the new house, let go of his hand, walked to the next room and closed the door.

Jiang Chengjia stood in front of the room, a little lost. Qianshan followed them all the way and listened to their conversation in a word. Seeing Jiang Chengjia standing in the courtyard in dismay, she sighed slightly, stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "The county lord should change his wedding clothes quickly, it's getting late now."

Qianshan's reminder made Jiang Chengjia come back to her senses. She calmed her eyes, moved her steps, put away all her emotions, and turned to the new house.

Qianshan hurriedly called the maid behind her to follow her and change her clothes.

A moment later, Jiang Chengjia came out of the house and had already changed into the court robes to enter the palace to meet the emperor. The Hou was waiting in front of the door for Ning Nanyou to come out. However, the little yellow gate beside him said to Jiang Chengjia at this time, "Madam Hou... The Lord has already gone to Nangong to pay homage to His Majesty. He told the villain that you don't have to wait any longer, and then follow the villain to go to the side hall of Nangong to pay homage to His Highness."

Ning Nanyou didn’t wait for her?

Jiang Chengjia was a little surprised. She lowered her eyes and started to laugh at herself. She didn't know where she got her confidence, but she actually thought that Ning Nanyou was easy to get along with.

She nodded at the little yellow gate and said with a polite manner, "I'm sorry, my father-in-law, led me to Nangong there."

Xiaohuangmen returned the gift, bent down and led the way in front. Jiang Chengjia was extremely silent along the way, and Qianshan, who was following her, became more and more worried.

The two of them were obviously fine in the morning, but somehow they suddenly became what they are today.

Jiang Chengjia went to the side hall of Nangong to pay homage to the Queen of the City. After giving her a thank-you ceremony, Queen of the City kept chatting about family matters with her in the side hall.

One morning, she didn't even see Ning Nanyou's shadow, so he left her in the queen like this. Emperor Wei also left the city queen in the side hall. Until noon, no palace servants told me that I wanted to have a meal. Jiang Chengjia was angry and his face became increasingly ugly.

The Queen of the City seemed to notice her change, so she said without moving, "The sixth brother and sister are tired. I see you sleepy. Why not go to the front hall with me for meals. Your Majesty and the Marquis of Huaiyin have something to discuss."

Jiang Chengjia reluctantly supported himself and said, "The Empress does not have to care about my concubine, I will wait for you here."

When the Queen of City heard her, she gently locked her eyebrows and said, "If you wait here, I am afraid you won't see him in a day. The close servants beside His Majesty have come to report it, and the Marquis of Huaiyin has returned to the Huai Prince's Mansion."

Jiang Chengjia turned his head and frowned and looked at her, "The Empress said just now that Your Majesty may have important matters to discuss with the Lord, why should you say it again..."

Queen Cheng sighed, "I am afraid that you will be sad, so I just want you to relax a little. But you have to wait for your sixth brother. I can't let you wait in vain."

She opened her mouth slightly, and her words were even more in her throat. Then she sighed, "Since that's the case, I can't refuse the Queen's good intentions. Noon has passed, and I guess the Queen is a little hungry. I will serve the Queen to have a meal."

Jiang Chengjia stood up and bowed respectfully. Cheng Shi looked at her indifferent face and couldn't bear it, but she didn't say anything more. She just responded to express her approval. She took Jiang Chengjia to the front hall.

Jiang Chengjia followed her, with a slight movement in her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and slowly put away the cold face. She had a determination in her heart. She thought, probably, her brother and Emperor Wei were in the front hall at this moment, and she was waiting for Cheng to take her over.

Ning Nanyou did not see her, nor did he not take her to the Huai Palace to pay tribute to the Huai King. He was afraid that the palace that was driven out by the emperor had not appeared yet.

She suddenly understood why Ning Nanyou suddenly mentioned the matter of his brother coming to the palace to thank him this morning, and mentioned King Huai. It turned out that he was waiting for her here. He was testing whether she was a chess piece that the emperor and his brother deliberately inserted into his mansion.

At that time, she did not think deeply. When she heard him mention King Huai, she pretended to hurt his wound without knowing anything. No wonder he didn't even want to wait for her and left her alone and entered the palace.

At this time, she was left alone in the palace, while Ning Nanyou was driven to the Huai Palace by the emperor. This situation was really hard to resolve. It was also ridiculous.

Jiang Chengjia was thinking randomly and followed the Cheng family and came to the front hall.

In the main hall, Emperor Wei was already sitting in the hall.

On the right side of the seat, there was a young boy who was still young but already had a bit of a heroic spirit and extraordinary handsomeness. Jiang Chengjiazhi, the young boy was Ning Wuheng, who was only eight years old. On the right side of the seat were Chengge Cliff and Jiang Chengyi.
