Chapter 1052 Father, are you going to die?
Royal Palace.
After Ning Fan came back, officials from the entire palace were constantly coming and going. Mu Qingcheng asked in confusion: "Aren't you living in the East Palace?"
"Yes!"
"I'm used to living in the Yong Palace and don't want to move!"
"Don't you want to go to the palace?"
"Why..." Ning Fan looked at Mu Qingcheng and smiled playfully: "Are you so anxious to meet your parents-in-law?"
"You!"
Mu Qingcheng was a little embarrassed, but she would not punch Ning Fan or bite him like other little women.
"Speaking of which, as a junior, I did go to pay my respects!"
"No hurry!"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Ning Fan led Mu Qingcheng to an empty courtyard, settled her down personally, and then came to the attic where Cai Yan was.
Speaking of which, Cai Yan is also due to give birth. There are imperial doctors staying in the past few days. Ning Fan stood in the attic and pondered for a long time, muttering: "It's time to get married!"
"I just don't know if the Ministry of Rites and the censors will scold me without recognizing any relatives!"
"I have to give them a heads-up in advance!"
As he said that, Ning Fan came to the attic. Cai Yan and Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao were all there. The women were sitting in front of the window, and laughter came from time to time.
"Ahem!"
Ning Fan coughed lightly, and Cai Yan was the first to notice his figure and hurriedly stood up.
"Your Highness!"
"You are pregnant, don't move."
"Yeah!"
Cai Yan nodded lightly and sat down again. Ning Fan walked up, pinched Xiao Qiao's face, and teased: "The little girl has really grown up!"
"Your Highness..."
The little girl was still a little shy. After not seeing each other for so long, there was still a slight sense of unfamiliarity.
"Okay, the court affairs have been busy these two days, so I'll leave Yan'er to you two little girls."
"Yes!"
Ning Fan came to the main hall. The Yongwang Mansion has now become a small court. No matter the six ministries in the court or the cabinet members, they all came to visit the mansion after hearing the news of Ning Fan's return.
"Master, the carriages outside the door can't stop. So many ministers have come to the mansion at once, and the main hall is already full!"
Lin Yong came to Ning Fan to complain. It was rare for him, the old housekeeper, to have some free time, but today's scene was too big.
"So!" Ning Fan pondered for a while, and said directly to Lin Yong: "Uncle Lin, go tell all the ministers that my father will hold a banquet in the palace tonight."
"Okay!"
Lin Yong left with a smile, but Ning Fan set off for the palace.
The driver was a woman named Ning Yan!
Speaking of which, Ning Fan has been in the world for five years, and the historical civil and military officials and even the characters in the books and novels he summoned, no matter what, they are all people!
Only the one in front of him, she is not a human!
She is a robot rewarded by the system, but she also has flesh and blood, skin and bones, and has her own independent thoughts, just like ordinary people.
But she is not a human after all.
She can even learn and practice on her own, and she can learn without a teacher. To use the routine in the fantasy novels of the previous life, it is a full-level talent at the beginning.
Ning Fan has personally tested her skills, and now she has the strength of a Tianmen Grandmaster.
However, there is one thing about this cheater, she is invincible!
Ning Fan asked her not to fight back, stand there and take the beating, and even used all his strength, using poison and palm, to knock her away again and again, but she was able to get up intact.
As for burning and boiling, Ning Fan really didn't dare to try. Although Ning Yan, this girl, had no sense of pain, Ning Fan was really a person.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the imperial guards checked the carriage. When Liu Yuan found out that it was Ning Fan, he was also stunned.
"Second brother!"
"Long time no see."
Ning Fan greeted with a smile, but Liu Yuan, Zhao Huaiyuan and others bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Okay, let's stop being so empty-headed between brothers."
Ning Fan walked up to Zhao Huaiyuan and patted him on the shoulder. Since Zhao Changying died on the battlefield, he has grown a lot. Lin Yong said that Old Lady Zhao had arranged a marriage for him.
She is the niece of Xu Chang, the Minister of War, and she is also very handsome.
"When are you going to get married?"
"My father is less than three years old, and my mother has only talked to the Xu family, but she is not in a hurry to get married!"
"Well!"
Ning Fan sighed lightly and said sadly: "I will accompany you to see the old man tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhao Huaiyuan still bowed respectfully. Although Ning Fan told them not to be polite, none of these stinky boys were the second-generation dandies they used to be.
After several years of growth and many changes, they have become capable of being independent.
"Now that the war is about to end, the court has to be busy with rectifying people's livelihood and the problems left over from the countries of Dayan."
"The most important thing is that officials are scarce. You guys should have a good rest after you go back. If you have any ideas, you can talk to me in advance."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ning Fan nodded silently and took the carriage directly into the palace.
Liu Yuan and Su Chi also stepped forward, gently put their arms around Zhao Huaiyuan's shoulders, and whispered: "Your Highness will not forget the Zhao family, and the court will not forget Uncle Zhao."
"Yes!"
...
The palace.
Emperor Yu had also received the news of Ning Fan's return to the court a long time ago. Knowing that he was going to the palace, he had been waiting in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness wants to see you."
Wei Ying passed on his cultivation to Yu Huatian. At this time, he was just an ordinary old eunuch, and his face was also less energetic than before, as if he was in his twilight years.
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
"Announce, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to see you!"
Ning Fan strode into the hall, looking at Emperor Yu sitting in front of the dragon table, his face was full of vicissitudes, and even a strand of white hair appeared on his temples. He was stunned for a moment.
"The great hero is back!"
"Father, how come you are so exhausted after not seeing each other for so long?"
"Your hair is all white!"
"Look at your vicissitudes of life and your hunched figure, you look like an old man farming in the countryside."
Emperor Yu was in a good mood, but when he heard Ning Fan's words, his face darkened instantly.
"Eunuch Wei!"
"Send someone to inform the imperial kitchen that father will host a banquet for all the ministers in Zhengde Hall tonight!"
"Yes!"
Wei Ying nodded, and Ning Fan walked to Emperor Yu and sat down beside him without any sense of restraint.
"Father, I have conquered the Western Regions for you."
"Oh..." Emperor Yu did not react at first, then stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"
"Western Regions...We have conquered the Western Regions as well?"
Emperor Yu's voice was trembling, as if it was a little unbelievable, because the Western Regions were a place that even the Sui Dynasty had never touched!
At most, there were vassal states in the Western Regions paying tribute, and all nations came to pay tribute.
"It has been conquered, and now the Western Regions are also our territory!"
"Hiss!"
Emperor Yu slowly straightened his body, and two lines of hot tears fell from his eyes: "Good, good!"
"Good!"
"I can stand up straight to see my ancestors even in the underworld."
"What!"
Ning Fan exclaimed, looking at Emperor Yu in surprise: "Father, are you going to die?"
