"How old are you? Why do you want me to accompany you?" Yu'er said.

"It's so boring to be alone." Kurihara said.

"Are you bored? You will have something to do soon." Yu'er said.

"What's going on?" Kurihara asked.

"Just wait and see, I'll find you when the time comes." Yu'er said.

"I won't do anything boring," Kurihara said.

"Then it's up to you." Yu'er said.

"Then I'll give you a chance, but don't make me wait too long." Kurihara said.

After saying that, he disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, before Ning Jia got up, Concubine Chu had already arrived outside.

Yu'er hurriedly jumped off the couch and crawled under the collapse.

Ning Jia had just gotten off the couch, and Concubine Cheng had already turned around the Haitang screen and entered the inner room.

"Mother." Ning Jia met her and said politely, "Why is it so early today?"

"You haven't gotten up yet?" Concubine Cheng pulled Ning Jia up and said with a smile, "Mother is here early."

Fang Qi and Fang Rong had already brought water in, and Ning Jia washed her hands and face in the inner room.

Fang Qi picked up the comb and wanted to comb Ning Jia's hair.

Concubine Cheng took it over and said, "I'll come, you all can go out."

Fangqi, Fangrong, and the concubine's accompanying maid Fenhe, Luxi resigned.

Concubine Cheng combed Ning Jia's black hair carefully and neatly, and then put the hairpin and pearl flowers in place.

"Ning Jia has grown up." Concubine Cheng looked at Ning Jia in the mirror, feeling a little dazed, and said slowly.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ning Jia noticed that she was a little strange.

Concubine Cheng pulled Ning Jia up and they sat side by side on the couch.

He stretched out his hand to gently stroke her silky hair, looked at Ning Jia and smiled slightly, "It's time to find you an in-law."

"Mother..." Ning Jia didn't know what she would say, and felt a little uneasy.

"The third son in Prime Minister Xiao's family is not yet married. He is about the same age as you and has good character. What do you think?" Concubine Cheng said slowly, and Ning Jia was shocked when she heard it.

"Mother!" Ning Jia said in shock, "I, I..."

"His literary and military talents are outstanding among his peers, and he has a gentle nature. He will definitely treat you well." Concubine Cheng still said slowly.

"No, it's not..." Ning Jia shook her head hurriedly.

"Mother knows." Concubine Cheng gently held Ning Jia's hand and said, "You have someone you like, right?"

Ning Jia looked at her and nodded.

"Ning Jia..." Concubine Cheng stretched out her other hand, gently touched the top of her head, and said slowly, "You are still young, so you don't know what love is. When you two get married, you will no longer have any love in your heart.

Someone else."

"Mom, do you know who it is?" Ning Jia looked at her and asked.

"You are my daughter, how could mother not know?" Concubine Cheng sighed.

"Then, why is this?" Ning Jia said, tears falling from her eyes.

"Yesterday at the palace banquet, you also heard that Mrs. Anguo..." After Concubine Cheng said this, she paused and then said softly to Ning Jia, "Although there were some mistakes, it was not decided on the spot, but she

As I have said before, I am afraid that Concubine Ye already has thoughts in her mind, and if you argue with her, it will only make things difficult for your father."

Hearing this, Ning Jia was silent for a while.

"Ning Jia, the Xiao family is the residence of the Prime Minister, and his third son Xiao Hengqi is also a great person. He will not be inferior to him in appearance and character, so don't worry." Concubine Cheng said again.

"Mother..." Ning Jia called her softly. She stared at Concubine Cheng and moved her lips several times before asking, "Concubine Ye, why does she hate us so much?"

Hearing this, Concubine Cheng looked at Ning Jia but did not answer.

"Can't you tell me?" Ning Jia asked again.

"Alas..." Concubine Cheng sighed and touched Ning Jia's soft black hair, "More than twenty years have passed since this happened. In a blink of an eye, you are now so old. It's time to tell you."

Concubine Cheng stood up, turned her back to Ning Jia, and continued: "In the battle with Mingdan that year, our Huanyue Kingdom suffered heavy losses. Your grandfather was the general of the Hussars at that time. He fought bravely and wisely throughout his life. He rarely

Defeated the battle. Perhaps, this was the only defeat in his life, but it implicated many people..."

"Did they all die in the battle?" Ning Jia asked.

She didn't get an answer immediately. After a while of silence, Concubine Cheng shook her head and said, "No. Although the battle was defeated, there were not many casualties. It's just..."

Concubine Cheng suddenly stopped talking, her voice trembling slightly.

"Just, what?" Ning Jia asked softly.

"At that time, the late emperor was still on the throne." Concubine Cheng calmed down her mood, "Suddenly issued an order to hold those responsible for the defeated soldiers accountable, and punish all the generals and generals with serious crimes..."

"Ah!" Ning Jia was shocked when she heard this.

I took some time to revise an important part of another part,

Now you can calm down and concentrate on coding this part.
