When Ning Jun opened his eyes for the third time, he had no choice but to accept a delightful fact. He was no longer the same person as before!
To put it bluntly, he had transmigrated!
At this moment, he was lying on the bed. The room was filled with ancient furniture, all of which revealed exquisite luxury.
The yellow rosewood bed under him was painted with black paint and gold. The surrounding curtains were embroidered with gold, and the bed board was carved with all kinds of dragons, phoenixes, flowers and plants.
Looking outside, there was a bronze tripod with a Taotie beast face pattern in a big red sandalwood carving case on one side of the room. There was a royal poem plaque hanging on it. On the left side was a golden table clock and a silk inlaid jade incense tube. On the right side was an elevated jade necklace and a blue glazed goose neck vase.
On the other side of the wall, there was a dazzling array of porcelain and jade artifacts, and occasionally a few books.
Just as he was about to look elsewhere, he heard someone in the room say softly,"Your Highness is awake!"
Wangye? Ning Jun couldn't help but lift up the red and gold bedding and found that the moon-white mid-dress he was wearing was embroidered with a golden dragon pattern. He got up and walked out of the screen. There was a red sandalwood Arhat bed carved with Kui dragon patterns under the window in front of him. There were a few pillows and couches. He didn't have time to look carefully.
Then, from behind the green gauze cabinet, many girls carrying gold basins, silver cups, towels, and other things passed by. They all wore a few gold hairpins and beads on their heads. They wore vermilion silk jackets and long dresses embroidered with gold of the same color. On the outside, they wore rose-red necklaces embroidered with gold, which made them look very beautiful.
Ning Jun clicked his tongue in admiration. It was indeed worthy of being a prince's house. The furnishings here and their clothes had the aura of a royal family.
A girl came over with a cup of hot tea. Ning Jun glanced at her, then turned his body and showed off his goose face. She was so obedient that she allowed him to pluck her. Seeing her, his mouth went dry. He took the hot tea and drank it in one gulp.
Just as he was about to put down the teacup, another girl came over with a bowl. Ning Jun hesitated awkwardly for a moment before using the remaining half of the bowl to rinse his mouth.
Then, two more girls walked over. One of them was carrying hot water, and the other was wringing out a handkerchief. She was about to go forward and wash Ning Jun's face.
Ning Jun was still a little shy. He quickly took it and applied it to his face as if he was still in a dream.
He closed his eyes. The past experiences of this body were still vivid in his mind. Perhaps it was only for a moment or a long time. When the handkerchief on his face was almost cold, he wiped it fiercely a few times.
So he was called Ning Jun, the younger brother of the current emperor, conferred the title of loyal prince!
He had only seen this title in Dream of the Red Chamber.
No matter what, a new day for Ning Jun had begun.
He threw the handkerchief over, and the girl followed him, turning and leaving with her sisters one by one without so much as a cough.
Not long after, another group of girls dressed similarly came in, holding a Yi Shan crown, a red silk dragon robe, and a dragon-patterned jade belt.
Ning Jun did not need to do it himself. They had already skillfully helped him put it on.
Two other girls carefully moved over a dressing mirror that was about two feet wide and three to four feet tall. It was surrounded by sandalwood carvings of cloud dragons.
The Ning Jun in the mirror was indeed as handsome as jade. His eyes were like bright stars, his sideburns were like knives, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his nose was like hanging gall, he was gentle and elegant, full of spirit, and had an imposing appearance. How could he let Pan Wei and the others be the only ones who were beautiful?
Ning Jun secretly praised. This was how a royal family should be!
After a while, a few more girls came in. They were holding plates, bowls, spoons, and chopsticks. They were all made of specially supplied imperial porcelain or gold and silver, and they were inlaid with jewelry.
Two of them set up tables and chairs, one carried rice, one put down chopsticks, and one fed soup.
On the table were rouge rice porridge, a few plates of tofu skin buns, chicken marrow bamboo shoots, hibiscus bird's nest, braised wind belly, steamed lamb with milk, and a cup of rose dew.
Ning Jun sat alone, holding his chopsticks, not knowing where to start.
He was the only master in the entire wangfu. Now that he was twenty years old, not to mention wangfei, he didn't even have a talented person, a servant, or a lady! He had wasted so many spots.
Ning Jun looked at the girls beside him one by one. Everyone who saw them lowered their heads as low as they could.
"Why? Am I that scary?" Ning Jun asked unhappily.”The word 'lonely' was said very naturally.
Still, no one spoke.
Ning Jun frowned." It seems like you have a lot of opinions about me!”
The girls in the room knelt down in panic and said in a trembling voice,"Wangye, this servant knows her mistake!"
Ning Jun put down his chopsticks heavily." Don't tell me I can eat people?”He pointed at a random girl.
The girl only kowtowed on the ground." Your Highness, this servant…this servant…" She really couldn't find anything wrong. She was simply frightened by the look in his eyes.
Ning Jun suddenly felt bored. He casually ate some porridge and threw his chopsticks away." Get up!" Tell me, where did you go wrong? When he said it, he added his name, lest he forgot it later!”
The girl didn't dare to raise her head and said in a sobbing tone,""Replying to your highness, this servant Lan 'er shouldn't…look at your highness. This servant knows her mistake!"
So her name was Lan 'er.
Then, the girl next to her continued,"This servant Zi 'er, I shouldn't have forgotten to put food in his highness' bowl…this servant knows my mistake!”
Zi 'er?
The third girl did not seem to be nervous anymore." This servant Cheng 'er, the pouch I embroidered for His Highness is not done yet. This servant knows her mistake!”
Could it be that all the maids in the wangye's house were named by color?
As Ning Jun was thinking about this, the next girl stole a glance at him and hurriedly lowered her head again." This servant is ugly. I fell asleep on duty yesterday…This servant won't dare to do it again!"”
Ning Jun looked at this ugly child curiously. He had a delicate and pretty face, but he had to be called this name?
"This servant Yin 'er, last night this servant and Chou' er were in the same class. This servant knows her mistake!" The two girls were smaller than the first three. They seemed to be named after the twelve earthly branches?
"Alright, alright!" Ning Jun cursed in his heart how simple and crude the person who named them previously was!
"What's the matter today?"
Lan 'er quietly took half a step forward." Your Highness, do you want Qiguan to serve you?”
Qiguan? Ning Jun suddenly sat up straight and felt his hair stand on end.
With him, King Zhongshun, and Qiguan, how could he not know that he had arrived in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber?
There were the Twelve Beauties of Jinling here!
Ning Jun smiled and his eyes shone with a strange light.
No wonder it felt so familiar! Thinking of this, Ning Jun laughed proudly."Alright! Wonderful!"
The servant girls in the room retreated a little, each of them twisting the handkerchief in their hands tightly. Someone sent a message to bring Qiguan over.
At this time, Ning Jun was still immersed in joy and could not extricate himself. Since this one was a loyal and obedient prince, then did this one rob the Jia family? Or should he rob the Jia family?
Ning Jun held his chin and thought carefully. He didn't know what year it was now, so he asked casually,"Have you heard that the Jia family of the Ningguo Prefecture in the Divine Capital held a funeral?”
Lan 'er and the others looked at each other. After a while, she replied,""These servants have not heard of any funeral in the Ningguo Manor these few years.”
If there really wasn't, then who knew if Qin Keqing had entered the Ningguo Manor?
Ning Jun looked at the sky and muttered to himself,"It's time to plan properly."
He walked out of the green gauze cabinet. In the second room, there was a sitting couch in the north and a window in the south. The sitting couch was decorated with a back pillow with a red embroidered cloud dragon holding a birthday. On the left and right red sandalwood tables, there were a sapphire Ruyi and four treasures of the study.
There was a table on the kang beside the window, and there was a chessboard on it. It seemed that someone had been playing chess just now, and the chess pieces had not been put away.
Further ahead was a multi-treasure grid inserted screen mirror door. On all sides were hollowed out miscellaneous grids, or books and cauldrons, or vase flowers and bonsai, the style was not limited to custom.
Chou 'er hurriedly went forward and swiped open the message, opening the mirror door.
Ning Jun felt vast and cheerful when he walked out. A red sandalwood throne inlaid with jade was placed on the steps in the middle of the three-bay room. Behind it was a marble landscape screen with incense on both sides.
There were six armchairs with marble stamens facing each other, separated by paint. Ning Jun looked to the east. It was an exquisite black door painted with gold. There was a screen of flowers and birds blocking the door.
The servant girls stood in two rows in the hall. Ning Jun wanted to sit on the throne.
A eunuch wearing a black gauze hat and a narrow-sleeved shirt with a flower collar led a person in.
Ning Jun looked up and saw that this person was quite handsome. He was charming and gentle. If one did not look closely, one would think that he was a woman. This was the famous Qi Guan.
When he saw Ning Jun, he quickly walked forward." This servant Qiguan pays her respects to Your Highness!”As he spoke, he was about to kneel and kowtow.
Ning Jun waved his hand." No need." Why are you here?"
Lan 'er had mentioned his name in the room just now, but Ning Jun did not listen to what she said after that.
Qiguan cupped his hands and took a few steps forward. A smile blossomed on his face like a spring flower." Reporting to Your Highness, this servant thought of a nice song yesterday and wanted to sing it for Your Highness to appreciate." Your Highness, please approve!"
Ning Jun looked at him up and down, but he was wondering if his predecessor had had an overly intimate relationship with him.
Perhaps it was his problem that Prince Zhongshun did not even have a princess at his age?
Ning Jun didn't have any ill feelings towards people like them, but Nanfeng Huanchong was definitely not one of them.
Hence, Ning Jun's expression was unfriendly." Why are you listening to music so early in the morning? Don't you have anything to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another official wearing a green robe and black gauze walked in. He seemed to be the chief historian of the prince's residence. He cupped his hands and smiled."Your highness, the carriage has been prepared. Your highness, please tell me when we are leaving.”
Ning Jun quickly put a hand on his forehead to hide his embarrassment and said vaguely,"Have you gone over there to take a look?"
"Xianyou Palace has been prepared," the chief steward said, his hands hanging low. This time, His Highness was ordered by the Empress Dowager to offer incense and pray for the Retired Emperor. How could those Taoist priests dare to neglect? Even the Dao Records Department's Perfected One, Final, was personally waiting there. If not for the Empress Dowager being merciful and not allowing the people to be driven away, Xian You Palace would have already become a forbidden area.”
Ning Jun thought for a moment. It seemed like there was such a thing. He still remembered that the Empress Dowager had specially instructed him to be sincere and not to disturb the people.
"This time, when we go out, we don't need any ceremonial guards. Just let a few people follow me. In case the Empress Dowager said that she was showing off again.”The last sentence slipped out of Ning Jun's mouth. It was obvious that he usually said this.
"Your Highness is right," the chief historian said with a smile."I'll pass down the order now. Only Commander Ji will lead a small team of lieutenants to protect you."”
Ning Jun nodded." Then go!"”After taking a few steps, he turned back and said to Lan 'er and the others,""Change my clothes!"
They went around the screen from the east room and entered. After a while, they took out a sapphire blue silk dress and a handkerchief to change for Ning Jun.
Ning Jun then left the hall. There was a connecting building outside the partition, and there were couches in both the east and west rooms.
On both sides of the main hall, there was a veranda with mountains, a wing room with deer tops, and a penthouse with carved beams and painted buildings. There was a rockery in the courtyard with begonia and banana planted on the corners.
When they saw Ning Jun come out, the maids and old women all bowed to him.
After walking through a hall, it was the main hall of the residence. It extended in all directions and was magnificent. Ning Jun did not take a closer look.
Along the way from the Inner Barrier Gate and the Inner Rites Gate, the Inner Three Gates, the Inner Hall, the Warm Pavilion, the Great Hall, and the Rites Gate to the main courtyard, there were about twenty guards dressed in ordinary clothes, with swords at their waists and black boots on their feet. They were all leading horses.
The leader must be Commander Ji. With one hand on his sword, he trotted over and cupped his fists."Your Highness, this subordinate is ready!”
"Yes!" Ning Jun was still a little nervous, but he stepped forward to take the reins. He stepped on the stirrups nimbly and mounted the horse. The reflexes of his body covered up the dullness of his mind.
After leaving the corner gate, Ning Jun reined in the reins. There was a golden plaque on the gate of the five beast-headed rooms, with the words "Imperial Order to build the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion" written on it. The two stone lions in front were lifelike, as if they wanted to pounce on someone.
