Chapter 333 Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "You have done a good job. What's your crime?"

"As the leader of my guards, you live in such poverty. I failed to supervise you!"

"You are loyal because you do not accept bribes. Your parents are bedridden all year round, and you serve them by their bedside. This is filial piety."

"Nie Liang listens to the order!"

Nie Liang was shocked and said hurriedly, "I accept the order!"

Emperor Xuan spoke slowly, "Nie Liang has fulfilled his duties, is loyal and filial, and is rewarded with 500 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver... and his annual salary is increased to 5,000 taels."

"In addition, his younger brother serves his parents and has a high moral character. He will be appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy and will start work on a certain day!"

Nie Liang was so excited that his face turned red, and his eyes were red. He kowtowed to thank him:

"I, thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

At this time, the person he was most grateful to was not Emperor Xuan, but Ning Chen.

Ning Chen's move was too smart, killing three birds with one stone.

First, his younger brother failed in the exam many times, which was a pain in his heart.

Now, his brother has an official position and an income.

Second, his family's difficulties have been solved.

Third, His Majesty has seen his loyalty.

Ning Chen, how can I repay you?

......

At this time, Ning Chen was in Luohuang Palace, making up a story for the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess listened with great interest.

"Why does White Snake like Sun Wukong? He is a monkey?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Because White Snake is also a monster, she is a big white worm."

The Ninth Princess was puzzled, "How did a big white worm become a princess?"

"Because this happened in a country full of monsters, and to monsters, humans are aliens."

The Ninth Princess said, "Why doesn't White Snake find another worm? It's really strange to fall in love with a monkey."

"Because monkeys are powerful and can change in many ways... The most important thing is that monkeys have a stick that can grow bigger and smaller."

The Ninth Princess seemed to understand, "So White Snake likes sticks, what a strange hobby."

"Don't you like it?"

The Ninth Princess shook her head.

Ning Chen had a sly smile on his face, "You will definitely like it in the future."

"Why?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "You will understand in the future!"

"What happened in the end?"

Ning Chen said, "In the end, Sun Wukong felt that the royal family had too many formalities, and Bai Niangzi bullied him every day in the name of the princess... Sun Wukong became a monk in anger, traveled around the world, punished evil and promoted good, and was finally honored as the Fighting Buddha by everyone."

"Princess, we are married. If you bully me in the future, I will also become a monk... so that you will be empty during the day and empty at night."

The Ninth Princess was a little shy, her face flushed, "I won't!"

"Then can I not greet you three times a day in the future?"

"No, this is the rule."

Ning Chen was upset all of a sudden, "Look, look... You're bullying me with your princess status before we're even married... If we're married, I'll be bullied to death by you?"

The Ninth Princess was a little anxious, "I didn't! This... This is the royal rule."

"We're married and we're husband and wife. The husband greets his wife every day. I'll be laughed at if I go out... I also want to save face. You don't want me to be laughed at if I go out, right?"

The Ninth Princess thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Then greet twice a day!"

Ning Chen shook his head, "Pay once every three days!"

"No, at least twice a day."

"Twice a day, I'm afraid my body can't take it!"

"Ah?"

Ning Chen's expression froze slightly, and the conversation went off track.

"Let's discuss this after we get married... There's one more thing. When we have sex in the future, can I not ask for permission?"

"You, you..."

The Ninth Princess was a virgin, and when she talked about this, she blushed with shame and couldn't speak properly!

Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay! Let's discuss this matter after we get married... I have another thing. After we get married, can I take a concubine?"

The Ninth Princess stood up, one hand on her waist, and the other pointing at Ning Chen, "Don't go too far, okay?"

Ning Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, I'm really not going too far... Yudie's father was wronged, and His Majesty has rehabilitated her."

"Think about it, she will leave the Jiaofangsi after the rehabilitation. She is a weak woman, without relatives, and is helpless... If I don't care about her, where can she go?"

The Ninth Princess was stunned, "Her father was wronged?"

Ning Chen nodded, "She is very pitiful, the princess should take it as sympathy for her... In the future, you will be the wife, she is a concubine, and she has to listen to you in everything."

"Think about it again. If you don't let me take her home, I will feel guilty and feel sorry for her... This will affect our relationship in the future."

"Princess is beautiful and generous, and kind-hearted. You will definitely understand me, right?"

The Ninth Princess is very unhappy!

"Let me think about it?"

Consider? That means there is a chance... Ning Chen hurriedly said: "Princess, let me tell you another story about a widow chasing the sun... No, it's the story of Kuafu chasing the sun, right?"

......

After leaving the palace, it was already afternoon!

The Ninth Princess has shown signs of loosening up about bringing Yudie back to the mansion.

If she works harder, the Ninth Princess should agree.

Ning Chen was in a good mood, riding his beloved Diao Chan, and came to the Supervisory Department.

He went to find Geng Jing first.

"Sir Geng, can you help me?"

Geng Jing said: "Say... do you want to borrow some money."

Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "Lend me five thousand taels of silver."

Geng Jing: "???"

"Did I not express myself clearly just now? How about I say it again?"

Ning Chen said seriously: "Urgent."

Geng Jing looked helpless, "When do you need it? I don't have enough on me, I'm afraid I have to go home to get it."

"Huh? That's not right, His Majesty has rewarded you with so many things, how can you be short of silver?"

Ning Chen laughed, "I was just kidding, just to see if Lord Geng is righteous enough?"

Geng Jing was speechless, "Boring!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "But I really have something to ask Lord Geng... Liu Zhichen was beheaded at the beginning, but the male members of the Liu family were exiled, and the female members were sent to the Jiaofang Division... Can you help me check and see if you can find other people in the Liu family?"

Geng Jing nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll send someone to help you check right away!"

"Thanks... Friendly backup!"

After chatting with Geng Jing for a while, Ning Chen left the Supervisory Division.

He came to the Jiaofang Division and had to tell Zi Su the news of Emperor Xuan's pardon.

"Ning Lang..."

Seeing Ning Chen, Yudie was not as happy as before, but very nervous.

"Ning Lang, are you going to send Sister Zisu back to the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"

Zisu also stared at Ning Chen nervously.

Ning Chen pinched Yudie's fair face and smiled, "Your Majesty has pardoned Zisu, and she will be free from now on."

Happiness came too suddenly, and the two of them were stunned for a moment!

After a while, Yudie's eyes turned red, "That's great, Sister Zisu is finally free!"

Zisu was also so excited that her eyes turned red, and she cried with joy!

She looked at Ning Chen, "What about Zhirou?"

Ning Chen sighed, looked at Yudie's expectant eyes, and hugged her in his arms, "I'm sorry! You still have to stay in the Jiaofangsi for a while... But it won't be long before you will be free again."

Although Yudie was a little disappointed, she could understand... Ning Chen told her that His Majesty would not pardon her before she married the Ninth Princess.

Anyway, she has been in the Jiaofangsi for so long... There is no rush at this moment.
