The Favoured Medical Princess: 357 Wushuang

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

The emperor simply gave Xiao Yi the secret report sent by Xuan Pingbo.

In the secret report, Xuan Pingbo wrote that there was a mutiny in Baiyue, and that the second, third, and fifth princes killed each other. The King of Baiyue died in anger after hearing the news, so that Nuhar, the only fourth prince who was not involved, was He took advantage and became the new King of Baiyue.

Xuan Pingbo wrote in detail the Baiyue mutiny and the entire process of Nuhar's rise to power. The words were sonorous, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes. If Xiao Yi hadn't been in Baiyue at that time, he might have believed it. But now, Xiao Yi couldn't help but think interestingly: This Uncle Xuan Ping is really unspeakable! Presumably, he was afraid that he felt that he had failed to complete his errands and would offend the emperor, so he made up such a story? The compilation is quite interesting. Xuan Pingbo really has the talent of a storyteller!

Xiao Yi immediately read the secret report as a script. After reading it, he said to the emperor seriously: "Uncle Emperor, as far as my nephew knows, the fourth prince of Baiyue is the most stupid and reckless among all the princes. Why? Will he ascend to the throne?"

The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"My nephew always feels that something is not right." Xiao Yi frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment, "However, my nephew has not spent much time in southern Xinjiang, so his knowledge may not be accurate..."

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "Yubai, what do you think?"

"I think what Prince Xiao said is reasonable." Guan Yubai said in a clear voice, "If the fourth prince of Baiyue is relied on alone, no matter how chaotic the situation in Baiyue is, it is unlikely that he will win the throne. Moreover, According to Xuan Pingbo's letter, the sixth prince of Baiyue should still be alive. The sixth prince is the legitimate son. If there is a legitimate son, how can he have a common son who is not very outstanding."

The emperor nodded slightly, feeling that Guan Yubai's words were very reasonable.

"So..." Guan Yubai thought and continued, "If I remember correctly, besides me Dayu, there is also Nanliang adjacent to Baiyue." As he said, he looked at Xiao Yidao , "Does Prince Xiao know about Nanliang?"

Xiao Yi said casually: "I don't have a deep impression. I just remember that when my grandfather was still alive, he seemed to mention that the new king of Nanliang was very ambitious. Fortunately, there is still Baiyue between Dayu and Dayu, so it didn't have much influence."

Xiao Yi's words made the emperor frown even more. After a while, he asked solemnly: "...Could it be that Nanliang is trying to trick Nuhar in the dark? He wants to control Baiyue... ...is it bad for me, Dayu?"

"This is just my guess." Guan Yubai said worriedly, "But if this is true, it is not good news for Dayu."

"You are right, Yubai. I was negligent." The emperor couldn't help but become irritated, and once again regretted not listening to Guan Yubai earlier. If he had ordered people to go to Baiyue earlier to control Nuhar first, and then support him to rise to power, Baiyue would now be a vassal state of Dayu. How could such a problem still arise?

The emperor asked eagerly: "What should we do now?"

Guan Yu Bai Siyin said: "In my opinion, the key now is to find out whether Nanliang is causing trouble. Since Uncle Xuan Ping is in Baiyue, the emperor can send a secret letter to him. Ask Xuan Ping Bo to investigate this matter... I hope I am just overly worried."

The emperor nodded hurriedly and said, "What you said makes sense. I will immediately send someone to inform Uncle Xuan Ping."

The emperor was really anxious. He quickly asked Eunuch Liu to prepare pen and ink. He even wrote a secret letter in front of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai and asked Eunuch Liu to write it and send it to Uncle Xuan Ping in Baiyue. , after doing this, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he remembered something again, and said thoughtfully: "So, last time Atachi came to see me in such a hurry, he probably got news from Baiyue." The emperor couldn't help but sneered. Said, "I guess it's not that simple."

Guan Yubai said unhurriedly: "The Baiyue envoys who came to Dayu should be from the eldest prince Kuilang, and now that the new king has left the eldest prince and ascended the throne, these envoys will naturally be Anxious."

"These southern barbarians are too comfortable staying in Dayu." Thinking that his son was bewitched by Baiyue and actually framed his courtiers and collaborated with the enemy, the emperor had no good impression of Atachi and others. Previously, due to the demeanor of a great country, he could only endure it forcefully, but now, since Baiyue has a new king on the throne, there is no need for him to tolerate these people anymore!

The more the emperor thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he shouted directly: "Huairen, please pass on my words and send all the Baiyue envoys from Adachi to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and keep them company with Kuilang."

Before Eunuch Liu could respond, Guan Yubai spoke first and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter should be slowed down."

The emperor was surprised and said: "How do you say that?"

"I think it's better to wait until Uncle Xuan Ping receives the news from Baiyue before making a decision." Guan Yubai was elegant, his voice was gentle, and he said with an inexplicable persuasiveness, "If Baiyue is now I am really being controlled by Nanliang. Who will you support, Your Majesty... King Nuhar of Baiyue, or the current eldest prince Kuilang?"

The emperor was startled at first, but then he understood the meaning of Guan Yubai and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If Baiyue falls into the hands of Nanliang, Nanliang can cross Baiyue and start a war with Dayu at any time. In this case, Kuilang is a good bargaining chip for Dayu. Dayu can support Kuilang on the grounds that the current King of Baiyue is a false king and the real King of Baiyue, Kuilang, asked Dayu for help. In this way, he stands on the highest moral point and can defeat Baiyue without spending a single soldier. Internal fighting, as long as Nanliang does not integrate Baiyue, it will not be able to go to war with Dayu.

Wonderful! It’s really wonderful!

Guan Yubai's resourcefulness is truly amazing.

The emperor nodded with a smile, "What Yubai said is true. As for the peace talks with Baiyue, I still leave it to Yubai...and Ayi, you two are responsible for it together."

Both of them bowed and accepted the order, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor thought about it again and felt that it would be safer to leave this matter to Guan Yubai, so he felt relieved, with a smile on his face, and ordered Eunuch Liu: "I feel a little hungry, let the imperial kitchen Bring some late-night snacks...Ayi, Yubai, it’s so late, you can use some together.”

Xiao Yi looked like he was about to cry, could he leave? It’s been a long time since he’s seen his stinky girl, and she hasn’t had enough hugs yet… And it’s rare that he’s so lucky today!

No matter how displeased Xiao Yi was, he would already be young by the time he returned to the palace.

Xiao Yi entered the house quietly, not wanting to disturb Nangong Yue, so he had no choice but to sleep on the kang in the banquet room.

He looked into the inner room through the partition window. Although he couldn't see anything in the darkness, he still couldn't help but feel sad for himself: It was rare for the stinky girl to let him sleep on the bed. It was all because the emperor was so good at picking the time... …

Obviously the kang was very warm, but Xiao Yi still felt far less warm than the smelly girl holding him.

He was tired after all, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep. However, he only slept for a short time before he opened his eyes habitually.

For so many years, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would get up at around 10:00 every day and go to the school to practice martial arts and then have breakfast. Today is no exception.

After practicing martial arts, although he was sweating profusely, he was in high spirits. It was impossible to tell that he had been tired from traveling for so many days.

After bathing and washing as quickly as possible in the west room of the study room, Xiao Yi, who was covered with moisture, was about to go out. Suddenly he remembered something, so he ordered Zhu Zi to rummage through the cabinets in the study room. Finally, he left the room. A blue-purple stone inkstone was found in a box that had been locked for an unknown number of years. The stone was delicate and tender, with unique stone grains and edges covered with stone holes. The craftsman who made the inkstone cleverly used the grains of the stone itself to create the inkstone. There is a carp carved on the ground, and you can tell at a glance that it is a top-grade Duan inkstone.

Duan Inkstone is known as "the best inkstone in the world". I think a scholar like my father-in-law would like it, right?

Xiao Yi curled his lips, picked up the square stone inkstone and returned to Fufengyuan happily, thinking that he should quickly take it to the stinky girl to see.

His steps were very brisk, with a faint smile on his lips. At this time, the stinky girl might not have gotten up yet, so he could stay in bed with the stinky girl for a while, talk, and maybe even take the opportunity to steal a scent... …

His smile froze the moment he lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.

Nangong Yue has already stood up and is sitting in front of the dressing table. Baihui is helping her dress up. It doesn't matter. He can just kick Baihui out. The question is why is Xiao Fei here? !

This time, he finally controlled his mouth.

But even so, he couldn't control his eyes. When Xiao Fei met Xiao Yi's eyes, he frowned.

Seeing that the brother and sister were looking at each other with disgust, Nangong Yue hurriedly explained: "Ayi, sister Fei comes here to have dinner with me every morning."

Xiao Yi responded lightly, thinking: Now that he is back, if Xiao Fei is sensible, she should know that a small break is better than a wedding, and she should not disturb their relationship as husband and wife.

Xiao Fei looked at Xiao Yi without blinking, meaning, I am here to have breakfast with my sister-in-law, not with you!

The two brothers and sisters just met and stared at each other, which made Nangong Yue feel a little helpless and a little funny. She was about to invite them to have breakfast together when her eyes suddenly noticed the stone inkstone in Xiao Yi's hand, and blurted out in surprise: "Could this be a Duan Inkstone?"

As soon as she heard the word "Duan Inkstone", Xiao Fei's eyes sparkled, staring at the square stone inkstone.

Xiao Yi then remembered the business again and hurriedly presented the treasure: "Ah Yue, look! This is an inkstone I got by chance a few years ago. I just suddenly remembered it and turned it out. ”

Nangong Yue looked at the square Duan inkstone carefully and praised: "This square inkstone is delicate, delicate, moist, dense and solid. It is Laokeng inkstone, the top grade among Duan inkstones, and the most precious among inkstones."

"Sister-in-law, is this the fish-brain jelly mentioned in the book?" Xiao Fei came over and pointed to a piece of white with yellow and slightly green on the inkstone.

What fish brain jelly? Xiao Yi was confused. Isn't this talking about the inkstone? How did you get involved with fish brain?

Nangong Yue pondered and said: "The "History of Duanxi Inkstones" said: A kind of angry lump, like the moon in a clear pond, is called fish brain freeze." She observed the inkstone hall carefully for a while and sighed, "It's as white as clear clouds, ready to disperse when blown; pines are like wadding, ready to rise when touched. This should be the best fish brain jelly."

When Xiao Fei heard this, she became even more excited: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the top-grade Duan inkstone produces ink quickly, the ink produced is fine and smooth, and the writing is smooth without damaging the pen. The color of the written words remains unchanged for a long time. That is the ink of a scholar. It’s a treasure that scholars flock to!”

Although Xiao Yi heard it half-understood, he at least knew that this Fang Duan Inkstone was definitely a treasure. He smiled attentively and said: "Ah Yue, I give this Fang Duan Inkstone to my father-in-law, what do you think?" Will his father-in-law like it?

Nangong Yue was stunned. It turned out that Xiao Yi turned out the square inkstone specifically to give it to Nangong Mu. Nangong Yue subconsciously looked at the Duan Inkstone in her hand, then smiled slightly, as warmly as water, nodded and said affirmatively: "Father, he will definitely like it! He will still use it every day!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi smiled even more happily, and her face shone brightly.

In Xiao Fei's memory, Xiao Yi has always looked cynical. He has never seen him smile so brightly. He was stunned for a moment and looked at his brother in a daze.

At this time, Lily came in through the curtain, coughed dryly, and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss, breakfast is ready!"

The three of them went to the main room for breakfast. After that, Xiao Fei returned to Xia Yuanyuan, while Nangong Yue went to the second gate with Xiao Yi. When she saw a carriage full of gifts, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. , looked at Xiao Yi and said silently: This is too much!

Xiao Yi puffed up his chest and said plausibly: "It's rare for me to go to Jiangnan, so naturally I should do my best for my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

What he didn’t say was that he actually had a guilty conscience!

He is about to abduct the precious daughter of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the precious sister of his uncle has gone to southern Xinjiang. When they find out, no matter how many gifts they receive, they may not be able to exchange for a smile...

In this complicated state of mind entangled with guilt, Xiao Yi rode Nangong Yue's Zhulun chariot to Nangong Mansion.

"The third aunt and the third aunt's grandma are here to pay New Year's greetings!"

The servants rushed away, happily unloading boxes of gifts one after another out of the carriage.

Nangong Sheng, Liu Qingqing and Nangong Xin came to greet them at the second door in person. When they saw the two people getting out of the car, Nangong Xin took a few steps forward excitedly, "Sister, Ayi!" As he said this, Nangong Xin looked Xiao up and down. Yi, "Ayi, you're taller and thinner again! How about Jiangnan? I often hear my mother say that the water towns in Jiangnan are so beautiful, but it's a pity that my sister and I haven't been there yet..."

Jiangnan... Xiao Yi glanced at Nangong Yue quickly, thoughtfully.

The group of people filed into the inner courtyard chatting and laughing. Naturally, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi had to go to Rongan Hall to pay their respects to Su. Coincidentally, there was another son-in-law, or future son-in-law, who came to pay New Year's greetings today. To be more appropriate.

In the main hall, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting on an armchair to the left of Huang. He was wearing a blue robe with white piping and elegant cloud patterns embroidered on it, which matched the pattern on his head. Mutton-fat jade hairpins complement each other. His facial features were handsome and charming, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling all the time. His smile was a bit frivolous like that of a romantic young man, but it was not annoying.

Ms. Huang looked at her future son-in-law with a smile. She was obviously in a good mood. The only flaw was probably that her daughter Nangong Lin was still trapped in Zhuangzi and could not even return home for the Chinese New Year this year... and after her daughter got married, she would have to Forced to leave the house.

Thinking of this, Huang's heart throbbed.

Ms. Huang was originally locked up in her own yard, but when she heard that Cheng Luo was coming, she made a scene. Mrs. Su, who was celebrating the New Year, was afraid that she would do something embarrassing, so she reluctantly Just let her come.

Opposite the Huang family, on the left side of the Su family, sat Nangong Mu and his wife. When they saw Xiao Yi entering the house with their daughter, they all looked happy, but the one who was more excited than them was another person.

"Brother!" When Cheng Luo saw Xiao Yi, he stood up a little excitedly. This call attracted the confused eyes of everyone in Nangong Mansion. The eyes seemed to say, how did Xiao Yi become this person? Cheng Luo's eldest brother?

Nangong Yue had a smile on her lips. She was already used to it when all the dandy boys in the capital called Xiao Yi "big brother".

On the way to Rongan Hall, Xiao Yi had already heard Nangong Sheng mention the marriage between Cheng Luo and Nangong Lin and the fact that he was currently in the mansion. Therefore, Xiao Yi was not surprised to see Cheng Luo and agreed with a smile. One sentence: "I didn't expect you, Xiaoluozi, to become my fourth brother-in-law. It's a coincidence."

Cheng Luo glanced at Xiao Yi with fear. Seeing that he was not displeased, he smiled again, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, this is such a fate!" Speaking of which, Cheng Luo felt a little scared. At first, when he heard Cheng Luo was so frightened that her mother actually asked the second girl of Nangong Mansion to marry her. Cheng Luo was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair... He couldn't afford to be his eldest brother's second brother-in-law! Just be a fourth brother-in-law!

"Brother," Cheng Luo said enthusiastically and warmly, "I didn't know you were back from Jiangnan. Please let me and Abai take care of you when you are free." Fortunately, my mother urged me last night. He came to Nangong Mansion to pay New Year greetings, otherwise he would never have met his eldest brother!

Seeing that her future son-in-law seemed to have a good relationship with Xiao Yi, Huang was extremely happy and felt more and more that this marriage should belong to her daughter Nangong Lin.

After that, Xiao Yi paid New Year's greetings to the Su family and Nangong Mu and his wife one by one, and Nangong Yue also greeted the elders. As soon as everyone sat down, the maid came to report again: "The eldest master and Mr. Li are here. ”

Master Li? A flash of doubt flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, who is this? Could it be...

She vaguely guessed something, and looked at her mother Lin beside her with questioning eyes. Lin nodded slightly, confirmed her guess, lowered her voice and whispered a few words in her ear, roughly the following. The position-rich young master's name is Li Cheng'en. He is sixteen years old today. He has a widowed mother at home and is a student of his eldest uncle Nangong Qin. He is young and has already become a civil servant. He is obviously very talented and will take part in the Jinke Examination. . Nangong Qin felt that this student had good academic skills and good character, so he tried a few words... He and Nangong Yan had just exchanged invitations yesterday, and now this Mr. Li can be regarded as half son-in-law of Nangong Mansion.

Nangong Qin quickly entered the house under the guidance of the maid, followed by a young man of medium height, wearing a simple blue robe, which was about 70 to 80% new. It seemed that his family was relatively poor. His appearance is just that of a serious scholar, with a hint of arrogance typical of a scholar in the corner of his mouth. It's no wonder that he is already a prostitute at the age of sixteen and is the best among his peers.

Under Nangong Qin's introduction, Master Nali greeted everyone one by one. When it was Cheng Luo's turn, he stood up directly with a smile, casually cupped his hands and said, "I've met my second brother-in-law!"

In contrast, Li Chengen is obviously very serious, and his every move is full of courtesy: "I have met my fourth brother-in-law."

Cheng Luo looked at Li Chengen, then at Xiao Yi, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the eldest brother-in-law didn't come today, otherwise the four sons-in-law of Nangong Mansion would have gathered together." He paused. Finally, he suggested, "The eldest brother-in-law has inconvenient legs and feet. There is a saying: 'It's better to choose a day than to hit it'. How about the three of us go to Jian'an Bo Mansion to visit him later? Brother, second brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Brother? What is this name? Isn't Prince Zhennan the third uncle of Nangong Mansion? Li Chengen frowned slightly, feeling that Cheng Luo was a little ungrateful. What's more, when visiting someone else's house, you naturally have to send a greeting in advance. If you rush there like now, wouldn't you become an uninvited guest?

He was just thinking about whether he should mention something implicitly, but he heard Xiao Yi already laughing and saying: "Xiao Luozi, you have a good idea. I haven't seen my eldest brother-in-law for a long time, but today I came here specially to Grandma, as well as father-in-law and mother-in-law are paying New Year greetings, how can there be any reason to leave just after sitting down?"

That's pretty much it... Li Chengen's eyes softened a little, and it seemed that Prince Zhennan wasn't too ridiculous. Unfortunately, the next moment, Xiao Yi continued: "I'm free tomorrow. How about we go and have a drink with the elder brother-in-law tomorrow? It's also a surprise for the elder brother-in-law."

"Brother is right." Cheng Luo has long been accustomed to following Xiao Yi's lead and hurriedly agreed.

Li Chengen's lips had already pursed into a straight line and he glanced at Xiao Yi quickly. It has been long heard that the Prince of Zhennan is dissolute, frivolous and rude. It seems that the rumors may not be groundless!

I am a scholar, and these two are nobles. After all, they are very different people. From now on, I should keep an appropriate distance from these two brothers-in-law! After all, Nangong Mansion is from a Shilin family, so why do they always marry nobles... It's really disappointing.

What Li Chengen was thinking was unknown to others.

After everyone sat in Rongan Hall for a while, Su Shi did not stay with Nangong Yue and the others much, and sent the second bedroom and his family to Qianyun Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Yi diligently ordered his servants to bring out the gifts he had carefully prepared one by one: the purple clay pot, Biluochun and Duan Inkstone were for Nangong Mu; silk, jewelry, embroidery thread and so on were for Nangong Mu. For Lin; as for Nangong Xin, it was a dragon tongue bow.

His kindness made the three of them smile, especially Nangong Mu, who was as happy as Nangong Yue expected. He couldn't put it down and played with the square inkstone, praising it: "It feels as warm as a child's skin when you press it. It is soft and tender but not slippery, beautiful and colorful; if you hold it for a while, you will feel the water in your palm... Ayi, this square Duan Inkstone is really too precious!" As he spoke, there was a hint of tangle on his face, and on the one hand he felt uncomfortable He should accept such a treasure, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to give it back to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi naturally saw it and said sweetly: "Father-in-law, as the old saying goes: 'Red pink is given to beauties, swords are given to martyrs.' Naturally, such a good inkstone should be given to someone like my father-in-law who loves and cherishes inkstones. !"

One sentence made Nangong Mu smile from ear to ear. This inkstone alone allowed him to play with it for nearly half an hour, carefully appreciating every stone pattern, every texture, and Feel...

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and opened the gift Xiao Yi gave her. When she saw the silk embroidery threads in the box, she couldn't help but said happily: "This, this is the embroidery thread from Jiangnan Liufang Pavilion." Let’s go!”

As the saying goes, "It's hard to buy a piece of embroidery," Mrs. Lin looked radiantly at the large box of embroidery thread.

Nangong Yue was a little surprised. Xiao Yi actually knew that his mother liked the embroidery thread from Liufang Pavilion? She looked at Xiao Yi and asked with her eyes.

Xiao Yi blinked innocently, which meant that he took a detour to Jiangnan and quickly bought a lot according to the preferences of his father-in-law and mother-in-law... There were many things bought, so naturally they would suit people's needs. .

The family sat together and talked endlessly. Nangong Yue and Lin talked about nvhong and the housekeeper. They also talked about her recent teaching of nvhong to Xiao Fei. When they talked about Yimei Lily’s life, they He was about to get married... and Xiao Yi and Nangong Mu's father and son talked about Jiangnan, discussing court, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although Xiao Yi did not dare to compare with his father-in-law and uncle who came from a family of poets and calligraphers, he had studied for many years and learned a lot. After many years, he was still right. Xiao Yi even played a game of chess with Nangong Mu, but of course he lost. He was used to losing to Guan Yu in vain, and besides, losing to his father-in-law was nothing to be ashamed of. He even felt that he had flattered his father-in-law, and after surrendering to his son, he flattered his father-in-law very much.

Nangong Mu only felt that although Xiao Yi's chess skills were only passable, he was still good at chess.

On this day, when the two returned to Zhennan Palace, the sun had already set in the west, but they both tacitly agreed not to change their original plans. After returning to Fufengyuan and changing into plain clothes, Then he left the house again.

This time, the destination is the Western Hills outside the royal capital.
