"Miss Xiao."
The girls on the second floor stepped forward to salute Xiao Fei and say hello.
They looked at Nangong Yue hesitantly. Although they all guessed that this young lady was most likely the one in the rumors, since she did not confess her identity, they did not dare to rush forward. . Who knows what this person's temperament is like. If he just likes to do private interviews in private, and is too attentive, he might even get offended.
So, they had to pretend not to know.
Xiao Fei nodded politely to them. She had a cold temperament and was not warm to these girls. She only responded with a few words.
Her coldness did not stop those girls who wanted to talk to her. A girl in a scarlet dress said sadly: "It turns out that Miss Xiao is also a frequent visitor to Huanxi Pavilion. It's a pity that I can't come here on weekdays." I met Miss Xiao."
Another girl also came up and said, "I have heard for a long time that Miss Xiao has extraordinary talent and learning, and that she and Miss Qiao are known as the twin sisters of Southern Xinjiang. Now that we meet today, Miss Xiao really has an extraordinary temperament."
Although Xiao Fei has not been granted a title, she is the eldest daughter of Zhennan Palace. In this vast southern border, she is as noble as a princess.
Seeing the girls who were surrounding him move towards Xiao Fei like cats smelling fishy smell, Qiao Ruolan's face was as dark as water, and her eyes were as dark as a black pool.
That’s it again! It happens every time!
It is said that their cousins are twins from southern Xinjiang, but in fact, as long as she and Xiao Fei appear on the same occasion, Xiao Fei will always be the center of attention. It is clear that she is better than Xiao Fei in terms of appearance, talent and temperament. Excellent! In the final analysis, it's just that Xiao Fei's status is higher than hers, so she just puts pressure on her!
Qiao Ruolan took a deep breath, with a dignified smile on her face, and said softly: "Cousin Fei, I think it's very interesting for Miss Qin and Miss Hua to compete here. Why don't we sisters also come and compete? , what do you think?" She looked sideways at Xiao Fei, although her expression was not obvious, there was obvious provocation in her eyes.
Xiao Fei frowned. She didn't mind discussing with others, but today she was accompanying her sister-in-law and the others to play, so how could she not distinguish between priorities. She pondered for a moment and then refused directly: "Cousin Lan, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient today."
The smile on Qiao Ruolan's face froze, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.
Rejecting herself in front of so many people, this Xiao Fei clearly looks down on herself!
As before, she always looks so arrogant! It's just because she is the eldest girl in the palace.
Qiao Ruolan lowered her eyes slightly, covering up the coldness in her eyes, and smiled nonchalantly: "In that case, I will ask my cousin for advice next time I have the opportunity."
Xiao Fei has never thought carefully about the meaning of other people's words. Qiao Ruolan said it was "asking for advice", so she also thought it was "asking for advice", so she nodded slightly and said without humility: "That's easy to say. ”
Qiao Ruolan's lips pursed into a thin line.
Xiao Fei didn't pay attention to her, but turned to Nangong Yue and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to take a look again?"
From just now to now, Nangong Yue seems to be just admiring the paintings without caring, but in fact, the words and deeds of all the girls on the second floor have fallen into her eyes one by one.
Nangong Yue has just arrived and doesn’t know much about the various provinces in southern Xinjiang. However, every move, word and deed of these girls can often reflect the family’s upbringing and character, which also makes her banquet at Bixiaotang Before that, I felt I had some idea.
At this time, seeing those girls hesitating whether to come up to say hello to her, Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said to Xiao Fei: "Let's go back to the third floor." Although the fighting painting has not yet decided the winner, but now they Here, it is obvious that this fighting painting cannot continue.
Hearing Xiao Fei call the young lady sister-in-law, those girls had no doubt in their hearts, it was indeed that one!
There were still people who were secretly guessing about Han Qixia's identity, especially Miss Qin, who glared at Han Qixia several times angrily and thought: I don't know where this girl is from, but she insists on traveling in plainclothes! This caused him to leave a bad impression in the hearts of the Crown Princess and the eldest girl!
Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei and the others went up to the third floor again, leaving only the girls on the second floor looking at their departing figures with complicated eyes.
Some girls regret that they were too hesitant and did not take the opportunity to get close to the Crown Princess. Even if the Crown Princess came for a private visit in private, there would be nothing wrong with calling her "Young Madam"... It's just something to blame. It happened so suddenly, I was completely unprepared!
The woman in green clothes was even more attentive and took them to a small hall on the third floor to appreciate calligraphy and paintings.
Part of these calligraphy and paintings belong to Madam Chiang, some are calligraphy treasures left by many girls and ladies over the years, and some are some calligraphy and paintings collected by Madam Chiang. They really have their own merits, and Nangong Yue and the four of them were among them without knowing it. After spending nearly an hour, I still feel that I still have more to say.
The four of them went back to their seats to have some lunch and continued to drink tea and chat until the sun went down, then they got on the carriage and left Huanxi Pavilion.
On the carriage, Han Qixia looked at the two taels of silver in her hand, thoughtfully.
Although Fu Yunyan asked Han Qixia to treat him as a joke before, it was just a joke. How could he really ask Han Qixia to pay for it? In the end, Nangong Yue acted like she was rich and asked Baihui to give her money.
Seeing that Han Qixia kept looking at the two taels of silver, Fu Yunyan couldn't help but said jokingly: "Cousin Xia, are you still unwilling to spend these two taels of silver?"
Han Qixia raised her head and said seriously: "Not bad."
Fu Yunyan was startled, Han Qixia smiled, and said: "Do you still remember the aunt whose shoulder was crushed today?... Her family is very poor, and she usually helps with laundry to supplement the family income. , now that she has injured her shoulder, she is afraid that she will not be able to work for the next two months. So I thought about buying something for their family."
Nangong Yue thought for a while and reminded: "Sister Xia, your thoughts are very good, but there is a saying: 'If you pay for your kindness, you will gain your hatred'. Two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person. annual expenses."
The other three girls were also thoughtful, and Xiao Fei suggested: "Sister Xia, how about you buy some rice noodles for their family?"
This rice and noodles are always needed by every household.
Han Qixia's eyes lit up, she nodded vigorously and said, "Sister Fei, this is a good suggestion."
Nangong Yue looked at Fu Yunyan with a smile. Xiao Fei has indeed made great progress since she started building that herbal tea shop, and she is like a firework...
So Baihui asked the groom to change his route and go to a rice store to buy a bag of white rice before sending Han Qixia back.
The carriage continued to move forward, this time its destination was Zhennan Palace.
Until Han Qixia was no longer visible, Fu Yunyan lowered the curtain by the window, revealing a somewhat complicated face on his usually bright face.
She sighed slightly and said: "Just now, I didn't dare to tell cousin Xia..."
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other, Nangong Yue frowned and said: "Liu Niang, what happened to Prince Qi's house?"
Fu Yunyan nodded: "A few days before my grandmother and I left the capital, the prince of Qi had already got married..."
"So fast?" Nangong Yue couldn't help but show surprise.
After careful calculation, the marriage between Prince Qi’s son and the eldest daughter of Ningguo Duke’s mansion should have been scheduled for more than a month, and they are getting married now?
What's more, Han Qixia "passed away" just now. Even if parents don't have to observe filial piety for their children, no family with some rules will prepare a marriage for her brother who is a compatriot of her mother during this new period of mourning.
Fu Yunyan snorted coldly and said mockingly: "What's even more anxious is that on the third day after the wedding, he eagerly took Princess Qi's maiden girl as his second wife. The cousins are also kissing each other!"
Even if they were to kiss each other, it would be too hasty. What's more, although the second wife is a concubine, she is not an ordinary concubine. In addition, there is a "cousin girl"... Nangong Yue is smiling. The corners of his lips curled up in a non-smiling way. The Duke of Ning could even tolerate this. It seemed that the eldest daughter was not favored.
Fu Yunyan continued: "I also heard that the cousin happened to live in Prince Qi's Mansion for some time before the wedding of Prince Qi...Now, there is a lot of rumors in the capital, saying that the cousin The girl's belly can't wait any longer!" This Prince Qi's Mansion is the laughingstock of the capital! Hey, it’s good that Cousin Xia is gone, otherwise the Prince of Qi’s Mansion will harbor evil and evil, even Cousin Xia will have a bad reputation!
Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, remembering that Fu Yunyan said before that Jiang Yixi was still in charge of the middle minister of Prince Qi's Mansion, and asked again: "Isn't it possible that Sister Xi also handled the marriage of Prince Qi's son?"
Fu Yunyan nodded again: "Yes, Princess Qi is still there to pick and choose. Sister Xi is indeed Sister Xi. She simply ignores her and manages the wedding beautifully."
Nangong Yue also believes that Jiang Yixi can handle it, but the prince of Qi is already married, and sooner or later the middle child will be handed over to the prince of Qi's concubine. In addition, the cousin aunt in the house will not be a safe person. Damn...these messy things give me a headache just thinking about them.
Seemingly sensing Nangong Yue's thoughts, Fu Yunyan said with a smile: "Cousin Jun is still smart. On the second day of the prince's wedding, he went to the emperor to ask for his family to be released. The emperor has not agreed yet, but I Grandma said that the emperor should agree."
The emperor also knew a lot about the scandalous things in Prince Qi's palace, but Prince Qi was always his brother. As long as it didn't involve conspiracy, the emperor would not take action easily. But the emperor wanted to reuse Han Huaijun as his nephew, so naturally he couldn't let Princess Qi mess with the couple.
Since we can't separate the families, it's a good idea to live outside. A smile flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes. It's easy to get priceless treasures, but it's rare to find a lover. Jiang Yixi has indeed married the right person!
At this time, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and the concierge's voice came from outside the carriage, saying that they had arrived home.
The carriage quickly entered the East Street gate. When Nangong Yue and the others got off the carriage, Huamei came up to greet them. After curtsying, he reported: "Prince Concubine, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family is here. She said she came to say hello to you. , my servant asked her to sit in the side hall."
Nangong Yue was a little surprised. She didn't expect Miss Qiao to come to the door so soon after leaving Huanxi Pavilion.
This is very interesting...
Seeing that she had guests, Fu Yunyan went back to the guest house where he was temporarily staying.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei went directly to the side hall.
Qiao Ruolan has been waiting in the side hall for nearly an hour. Seeing that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei finally arrived late, she stood up with a smile.
When Nangong Yue sat down on the main seat, she stepped forward, blessed herself, and said, "Lan'er has met my cousin." Then she met Xiao Fei.
"My cousin is so polite." Nangong Yue nodded and said with a smile, "I met my cousin today and I was in a hurry and didn't prepare a meeting gift. If my cousin doesn't mind, I will give this bracelet to my cousin." As she said that, she Then he took off the gold and jade bracelet on his wrist.
Qiao Ruolan was blessed again, thanked Nangong Yue, stepped forward to take the bracelet with both hands, and handed it to the maid, and said: "Today in Huanxi Pavilion, Lan'er saw her cousin walking in plainclothes, so she must have wanted to After his identity was exposed, he didn’t come forward to salute, hoping that my cousin wouldn’t be offended.”
"Cousin, don't worry about it." Nangong Yue smiled kindly.
This cousin is quite eloquent. No matter what she thinks in her heart, at least she can do much better on the surface than her mother, Mrs. Qiao.
After a few words of greeting, Qiao Ruolan said to Xiao Fei: "Cousin Fei, I haven't been to Luo Yuecheng for a long time, and I haven't said hello to my aunt. A few days ago, I heard my mother talking about my aunt who was bedridden, so I wanted to come over. I’m visiting, but I’m afraid it will disturb my aunt’s rest. I wonder if my aunt is feeling better these days?”
The matter of Xiao Fang's miscarriage was kept secret from the outside world. Others only knew that she was seriously ill and bedridden, but Xiao Fei, as her daughter, still knew the inside story. A girl who had not yet left the court found it difficult to speak out, so she could only say vaguely: "My mother is getting better, but the doctor said she still needs to be nursed back to health for a while."
Qiao Ruolan frowned worriedly and said, "Then I should go and say hello to my aunt."
Xiao Fei stood up and said, "Cousin Lan, I will go with you to pay my respects to my mother."
Qiao Ruolan left with Xiao Fei. After leaving the side hall, she quickly looked back at Nangong Yue, turned back thoughtfully, and thought to herself: My aunt is ill on the bed, and the princess is a daughter-in-law. However, it was not right to go to attend to the sick, and he did not go with them to pay their respects... It seemed that my mother was right, this imperial concubine was very unfilial! Just like her eldest cousin!
Recalling the recent commotion at home because of the prince's cousin, Qiao Ruolan couldn't help but feel angry, but she didn't show any emotion on her face.
Nangong Yue didn't care what Qiao Ruolan thought of her, so she went back to her yard, washed and changed clothes.
Xiao Yi had already sent someone to inform him that he would not be back for dinner today, so Nangong Yue did not wait for him and had dinner with Mr. Fang together with Fu Yunyan.
When the moon rose above the willow branches, Xiao Yi finally came back after a long journey, holding a large mahogany box in his arms, with unmistakable joy on his face. The maids immediately withdrew from the inner room.
Nangong Yue saw that he was just here to show off, so she asked cooperatively: "Ayi, what kind of treasure do you have in this box?"
Xiao Yi smiled mysteriously, waved to her, and opened the mahogany box.
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up, and she saw a wooden repeating crossbow placed in the box, with dozens of iron arrows placed in it.
Liannu?
A few days ago, Xiao Yi said that the Guanyu white-made Liannu would not arrive until the beginning of next month. Unexpectedly, it arrived earlier than expected!
Nangong Yue carefully picked up the repeating crossbow and looked at it carefully.
This repeating crossbow mainly consists of two parts: the crossbow and the arrow box. It is made of wood and bamboo. It is extremely light and can be held by a woman with average arm strength with ease.
Xiao Yi sat down and played with the repeating crossbow, tuned the strings, loaded ten iron arrows into the arrow box of the repeating crossbow, and tried the crossbow arm...
Seeing that he was as excited as a little boy who had found something he liked, Nangong Yue couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and his eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons.
"Stinky girl," Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue, her peach blossom eyes as bright as stars, "How about we go to the yard and try shooting?"
Nangong Yue was also very curious about the power of this repeating crossbow and hurriedly responded.
Seeing the masters leaving the inner room hand in hand, Baihui, who was waiting outside, immediately came to greet them. As soon as she looked at the repeating crossbow in Xiao Yi's hand, she guessed what her master was going to do. While bowing her knees and saluting, she asked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you want me to disperse the servants in the backyard first?"
Thinking that the backyard was still empty and clean, Nangong Yue nodded in agreement.
Baihui worked very efficiently. While telling Que'er and the others to go to the backyard, she also ordered Huamei to put a moon-white cloak on Nangong Yue's thin dress... When Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue arrived in the backyard By that time, the place was empty, with only Baihui, Queer and Huamei left.
"Ah Yue," Xiao Yi asked Nangong Yue eagerly, holding a repeating crossbow in his hand, "where do you think the best place to shoot is?"
Nangong Yue thought carefully and was about to speak when Xiao Yi suddenly frowned, turned to look at a camphor tree in front of him on the right, and said sternly: "Who?!"
What responded to him was silence, no sound at all.
A cool night breeze blew, and the leaves on the camphor tree made a rustling sound, but Xiao Yi's expression did not relax.
Baihui said hurriedly: "Master, please go over and take a look..."
Xiao Yi raised his hand and walked straight over. At this moment, a black shadow jumped out from the camphor tree and fled towards the wall.
Xiao Yi raised his arms, and then there were several frightening sounds that broke through the air:
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Several black arrows were shot out densely, as fast as thunder and as fast as meteors, like Thrush and Magpie. They didn't even know what was going on, but they already heard the black shadow let out a shrill scream. , and then fell from mid-air.
"Boom!"
The dull crashing sound of flesh falling on the cold bluestone floor made several little girls tremble with fear.
Baihui quickly ran to the man in black who fell on the ground, and saw a dozen iron arrows stuck on his back like a hedgehog, one of which even penetrated deeply into the skull and was embedded in it. An arrow pierced the back of his head, and blood had already soaked his head, his black clothes, and even the bluestone floor beneath him.
Baihui was convinced that the person was dead without testing the person's breathing and pulse. Her eyes paused on the arrow on the back of his head, and she was shocked: the power of this repeating crossbow was really shocking.
Baihui composed herself, and then shook her head at Xiao Yi who was striding towards him: "Master, he has run out of energy."
Xiao Yi passed her by without even looking at her, returned to Nangong Yue, hugged her into his arms, and said in a soft and soothing voice: "Stinky girl, don't look at her. ”
It is impossible to say that you are not scared at all when you first see a **** corpse, but Nangong Yue is not an ordinary boudoir woman. She calmed down quickly after the initial panic. At this moment, she can feel Xiao Yi's heartbeat. , the last trace of fear disappeared. She put her head in his arms and said with a smile: "Ayi, I'm not afraid."
"Xiao An, clean up this place."
Xiao Yi gave a casual order, hugged Nangong Yue and walked back.
When the man in black appeared, Nangong Yue's two secret guards were already guarding her. At this time, Xiao Yi gave an order, and Xiao An immediately took the order to dispose of the body, while Xiao Ying Faded into darkness again.
After returning to the house, Xiao Yi hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a bowl of calming tea for Nangong Yue. It was not until he watched her drink the calming tea that he said: "Smelly girl, I'll go to the front yard and I'll be here soon. Come back and rest early."
Nangong Yue knew that he was talking about the man in black, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead. Baihui is here, it will be fine."
Xiao Yi kissed her cheek before walking out.
As soon as he stepped out of the inner room, Xiao Yi's face suddenly darkened, and his whole person exuded a gloomy aura.
Unexpectedly, his Bixiaotang turned out to be a place where people could come and go at will... It seems that these guards need to be rectified!
Xiao Yi originally wanted to stay alive. As long as he was alive, the army had plenty of means for him to tell who instigated it. He never thought that the power of this serial crossbow was unexpected.
This is indeed a magic weapon!
Xiao Yi's eyes were burning, as if there were a bunch of flames dancing in his eyes.

Happy Princess Day, girls!
