Chapter 296 Number One Scholar 3
However, the original owner had never actively used these two secret guards before.
They only protected the original owner from a distance.
"Prepare water, I want to take a bath."
Soon, all the maids filed in. Ning Yan didn't have to do anything and was taken care of. After taking a bath, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and a maid specially trained in the palace gave her skin care, massage and foot massage. Taking care of her nails, Ning Yan was treated so comfortably that she didn't need anything!
After doing this, Ning Yan went to bed to rest.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, Pei Chengyuan had breakfast and went on duty. Ning Yan ignored him and called the guard commander of the Princess Mansion over after breakfast.
Wu Meng, the third young master of the Liguo Palace.
Because he is a concubine, he is not liked by Duke Li and his wife.
He found a job as a bodyguard, and because of his good performance, he became the commander of Princess Rouyuan's bodyguard.
After the princes and princesses of the Xia Kingdom build a palace, they will be equipped with a certain number of guards.
Originally, the princess was supposed to be equipped with three hundred elites.
But, who allowed Rou Yuan to be favored?
The emperor gave her a team of one thousand elites.
She was also given a rich fief, which she could afford even if she had several times more guards.
In addition, the prince also gave his sister many prosperous shops in Beijing and Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, so Rouyuan was very wealthy.
Of course, Ning Yan is now cheaper.
Ning Yan looked at the man whose presence was not strong in the original owner's memory.
It may be because of martial arts training, Wu Meng is very strong!
But he is not exaggeratedly strong, and his facial features are quite attractive, his eyes are firm, his nose is high, his lips are thin but stylish, and he looks tough with an air of unattainable dignity.
Even though he is a bastard, it is obvious that he is well-educated.
"How old is Commander Wu this year? Is he getting married?"
Wu Meng was surprised for a moment, but he still answered truthfully, "Twenty-four years old, not yet."
The mistress of the family was afraid that he would marry a noble girl over her own children, and his father did not agree that him marrying a girl from a small family would not be of any help to the government, so his marriage was delayed.
"Then do you have someone you like?"
Wu Meng shook his head, "No!"
Because he was born as a concubine, his aunt often told him to earn his own future, so he studied martial arts diligently since he was a child and read the Four Books and Five Classics. However, his aunt did not want him to be more famous than his brother and did not agree with his scientific examination at all, so he had no choice but to leave. The road to joining the army.
After all, Duke Li Guofu also granted him a title for military merit, so it would be easier for him to take this path.
But my aunt was also afraid that he would really make military exploits and be more promising than his brother, so she refused to let him go to the frontier to join the army.
In order to make his aunt's life easier, he could only compromise.
Later, after a lot of twists and turns, he became the commander of the princess's bodyguards.
Speaking of which, he should be grateful to the princess, because since he entered the princess's house, his aunt did not dare to molest his aunt.
How could he be in the mood to think about his children's personal affairs when he was living on tenterhooks every day?
He is said to be the commander of the bodyguards, but the commander of the bodyguards of the Princess Mansion is only a sixth-grade general with no hope of promotion.
No lady with a little bit of ambition would fall in love with a bastard like him who has no future.
However, when the princess asked him these questions, did she want to point out a marriage for him?
He couldn't help but pursed his lips, secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the princess. But he found that she was looking at him with eyes that looked at goods, as if she could sell him by the pound in the next second.
Wu Meng quickly looked away, feeling disappointed in his heart.
"I want to send you to the military camp, do you dare to go?"
Wu Meng was shocked. He straightened his back and raised his head, looking directly into Ning Yan's eyes, "Princess, do you really mean what you said?"
Ning Yan: "Is it possible that I came here just to joke with you?"
Wu Meng suddenly knelt down at the princess's feet, "I dare you! I am willing! Please help me, princess!"
"Okay, I will help you take care of everything and send you away in a few days. Go back and prepare."
……
In the evening, before returning home, Pei Chengyuan made a special trip to Jinyu Mantang. He spent a huge amount of money to buy a gold hairpin with butterfly love flowers and rubies. After returning home, he went to the main courtyard and gave the hairpin to Ning Yan like a treasure.
"Princess, I went to Jinyu Mantang to pick this up specially. Do you like it?"
He asked before entering the house. The princess did not go out today, so this gift would definitely be delivered to her heart.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Ning Yan opened the box, took out the gold hairpin and took a look at it. After a moment, she said, "It's okay." She put the gold hairpin back into the box without even looking at it a second time.
Pei Chengyuan, who was waiting happily for the princess' praise, suddenly froze.
how so?
Why did the princess react like this?
Didn't he happily accept any princess he gave as a gift in the past?
"Don't you like it, princess?"
"How much money did you spend on it?"
"Two hundred taels."
Ning Yan's main focus is to make others feel comfortable. When someone asked her, she directly said, "Butterflies are blue, gems are red, and coupled with the gold of the hairpin, this color combination is not up to standard. The rubies are only the size of rice grains or millet grains. It looks like scraps at first glance.
The hairpins are made with ordinary craftsmanship and are not exquisite at first sight. Such hairpins can only be sold at such a high price in the Jinyumantang. If they were exchanged elsewhere, no one would want them for a hundred taels. ”
Pei Chengyuan's face was a little ugly, because he bought this hairpin for one hundred taels of silver. It was not that he didn't want to buy a good one, but that he felt it was completely unnecessary.
In the past, he always gave away candied haws, roast duck, chicken, etc. How much money can he use?
He thought the princess would be very surprised when he suddenly gave her something two hundred taels of silver!
"Well, I'll buy it for the princess next time."
Ning Yan hummed, "Then I'll be waiting for you. Next time, my consort, don't let me down."
No, this is very wrong!
The princess had never treated him like this before!
There must be something wrong!
He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have given away the only golden flower-top hairpin inlaid with precious stones worth a thousand taels in a house full of gold and jade.
The princess has never seen anything good, something that is not unique, how could she like it?
This night was another night for Pei Chengyuan to stay in a low position. He had to think twice before uttering the word "um". He also had to pay careful attention to the princess's expression, for fear that she would be slightly displeased.
Ning Yan didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she was worthless for her original owner. She clearly had a superior status, her father loved her mother and his queen loved her, and the prince and brother doted on her. However, when she got married, she was submissive to a little prince-in-law, and she remained the same until her death. Innocent body.
She was asked to tell her who she was and what she was doing. As a princess, she should be aloof and show the characteristics of a princess. Otherwise, those bitches would think she was easy to talk to and would climb on her head to shit and pee.
However, this can’t be entirely her fault!
The main reason was that Pei Chengyuan was a man who hid his secrets too deeply. Everyone inside and outside the palace thought that he was deeply in love with the princess, and the original owner lived in his gentle trap until his death.
That night, Pei Chengyuan was naturally driven to live in the study by Ning Yan. Didn't he want to protect himself for someone?
