Listening to Lord Rong's words, Mrs. Rong couldn't help but say angrily: "What is this kid Tang Ning?" People are bigger than officials! ”

Mrs. Rong is not wrong in what she said, Tang Ning is the commander of the second grade, and Lord Rong is the master of the Hanlin Academy of the third grade. Because of the strong martial arts, the Great Zhou did not have the saying that they were noble and cheap.

However, after all, it is more difficult for a literati to be promoted to an official than a martial artist, and a civilian is in charge of internal affairs, and his power is greater than that of a military attache of the same rank.

Although the head of the Hanlin Academy was much inferior in terms of real power, he was the most noble official in the court.

Master Rong smiled and said: "What's wrong with the official university, he and Xuan Yatou have an equal relationship, and they can be regarded as my sons and nephews." ”

Mrs. Rong is just joking about her husband, and if she really wants to be outside, it is impossible for Lord Rong to call Tang Ning this kid.

And Tang Ning is really going to meet Lord Rong, and he should also call Lord Rong respectfully.

Under the intervention of Mrs. Rong, the Rong Mansion did not really get cattle and sheep up the mountain. But the butler of the princess's mansion brought two calves and two sheep up the mountain overnight.

Before the emperor went up the mountain, the cattle and sheep ran up first.

Although Xiaoxiao had the heart to cook sheep and slaughter cattle and feast Tang Ning to force the second half of the poem, it could only be postponed temporarily. Because the next day the emperor was going to climb the mountain.

The emperor's imperial drive has not yet set off from the palace, and the mountain is already crowded. The cultural relics and nobles who came to Fangshan Villa have gathered at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the emperor's imperial car.

Tang Ning naturally couldn't avoid vulgarity, and came down the mountain early. Scholars and other important officials of the imperial court were not present, they were still sitting in the palace, and after the emperor's royal car arrived in the palace, they would temporarily move the affairs of the yamen to the palace.

The two highnesses came down from the mountain, and at once they were like the stars and the moon. The emperor has not yet established a prince, and no one knows that he will eventually ascend to the throne.

But in any case, in such a situation, it is always wrong to greet him impartially and say a few kind words.

Tang Ning didn't go up to salute, but shrank aside as usual. He didn't make it up, believing that the second prince didn't care about it.

As for the eldest prince, he didn't believe that the eldest prince would come up and find a reason to humiliate him after suffering such a big loss! Moreover, there are two princes here.

is reasonable, the two princes will not watch the eldest prince humiliate him. So he stood silently on the edge as usual.

Although Tang Ning stood silently on the edge, he could still clearly feel the people around him pretending to look at him inadvertently from time to time.

This is not surprising, after all, the conflict between Tang Ning and the eldest prince has long been no secret in the circle of the capital.

The eldest prince greeted the officials who came to greet him with a modest smile on his face, and the second prince also had a modest smile on his face.

But there was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the second prince, because in the past, his eldest brother would never have such a modest smile on his face.

It seems that the defeat of the last Lichu turmoil has changed the eldest brother a lot, and setbacks can always promote people to grow. However, the modest smile on the face of the eldest brother was a little unnatural.

Not only was the second prince surprised, Tang Ning stood on the edge and kept paying attention to the star-studded eldest prince and the second prince in the crowd, and he was also very surprised when he saw the smile on the eldest prince's face.

Tang Ning also understood that the loss of the Lichu turmoil made the eldest prince feel the pressure, so he had to make some changes.

Although these changes are not necessarily from the bottom of the heart, at least they are not as domineering as before.

Tang Ning couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, if the eldest prince had been like this earlier, how could the relationship between him and the eldest prince have reached this point today.

Now he has to blend into the muddy waters of Lichu, looking at the humble smile on the face of the eldest prince, Tang Ning always feels a little ironic.

But no matter how modest the smile on the face of the Great Prince is, it will be difficult for him and the Great Prince to go back to the past, because no matter how much the rift is repaired, it will not be the same as it was at the beginning.

Just as Tang Ning was thinking like this, the eldest prince's eyes swept around, sweeping over where Tang Ning was, although the eldest prince had a modest smile on his face, Tang Ning still condensed in his heart.

Because he was afraid that the eldest prince would make some trouble, to be honest, he didn't want to go toe-to-toe with the eldest prince on such an occasion, but he didn't want to be humiliated.

The eldest prince had a smile on his face and looked in the direction of Tang Ning, and the attention of the surrounding officials was already on the two princes, so they all noticed.

There was a sudden silence around. There were more eyes around Tang Ning, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, hesitating whether he should step forward to pay his respects.

With so many people's eyes wandering between him and the eldest prince, it seemed a little unreasonable for him not to go up to salute. Tang Ning didn't mind stepping forward to greet him, but he was worried that the second prince would make some trouble.

After all, this was the first day of the emperor's vacation in Fangshan, and Tang Ning didn't want any conflict with the eldest prince. Rather than break out into something unpleasant, it is better not to go up to the courtesy.

Just when Tang Ning made a decision and was about to turn a blind eye to the gaze of the eldest prince, the smile on the eldest prince's face became more and more vigorous.

The eldest prince smiled and beckoned to Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "Tang Ning! ”

The smile is getting bigger and bigger, but it is also getting more and more fake, Tang Ning sighed in his heart, it seems that some things can't be avoided after all.

Although the eldest prince always had a smile on his face, Tang Ning didn't believe that the eldest prince would smile and hate. If the eldest prince had such a mind, he would not have made such a fuss with him.

But since the eldest prince greeted him with a smile, if Tang Ning didn't go to see him, it would be Tang Ning's.

As the eldest prince greeted Tang Ning with a smile, the surroundings became quieter. The eyes of the officials present showed a variety of emotions.

Some are worried, some are gloating, and some are indifferent......

Tang Ning's brows immediately relaxed, a light smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards the eldest prince. Compared with the modest smile on the eldest prince's face, the light smile on Tang Ning's face was much more natural.

This is something that Tang Ning has honed over the years, no matter what the real emotion in his heart is, he can put a natural smile on his face.

With all kinds of eyes from the officials, Tang Ning walked towards the eldest prince and saluted very solemnly: "Xiaguan Nanshan Battalion Commander Tang Ning, meet His Royal Highness!" ”

Whether it is from the smile on his face or from the etiquette of the salute, Tang Ning will never find the slightest mistake.

From the eldest prince looking at him with a smile on his face and greeting him with a smile, Tang Ning's heart was full of vigilance. No matter what the eldest prince is doing, Tang Ning has to put his posture out.
