The Favoured Medical Princess: 453 distressed

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

Most of the female relatives in the hall stood up in surprise and saluted Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi strode across the threshold and her eyes fell on Yong Yang’s right hand. Seeing that the white jade hairpin was still firmly in her hand, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and grinned: " Fortunately, I came back in time!"

Xiao Yi was holding a mahogany box in his hand. He opened the box. Inside was a hibiscus flower woven with fine gold wire. The stamens were inlaid with rubies, which was lifelike. Three strings of golden tassels hung from the edge. Under the sun, Bu Yao shines brightly and dazzlingly.

This is the hairpin he specially customized for Nangong Yue's hairpin ceremony. It has been kept in the study room. He originally wanted to wait for Nangong Yue's hairpin gift to give her a surprise that day. I was in a hurry to go to Huiling City this time, and I didn't have time to say a word to her... Fortunately, I finally caught up!

Yongyang smiled and said: "Okay, let's use the hairpin you prepared for today's hairpin ceremony."

The female relatives whispered to each other, with expressions ranging from envy to emotion.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess really have a deep love for each other. Looking at the Crown Prince’s dusty appearance with blood stains on his body, it is obvious that he didn’t even have time to change his clothes after leaving the battlefield, so he rushed back to Luoyue City all night long. For the crown prince’s hairpin gift!

This priceless treasure is easy to obtain, but it is rare to find a lover.

The imperial concubine’s birth, appearance, knowledge, and status are all good, and she is married to such a good son-in-law, so she is perfect... Now all we have to do is wait for her to add a grandson to the imperial concubine. The next generation of the Nanwang Mansion is considered to have a daughter.

For a time, several eyes slid over Nangong Yue’s flat abdomen, all thinking about the same thing...

At this time, King Zhennan coughed dryly and said: "Your Highness, please hold a wedding ceremony for the Crown Princess, so as not to miss the auspicious time."

After a word, the open hall became quiet again. The maid brought an arm chair. Xiao Yi saluted Yong Yang and King Zhennan and then sat down. Nangong Yue also sat on the table.

After this small disturbance, the hairpin ceremony continued, but the atmosphere in the open hall had an indescribable smell. Several ladies glanced at Xiao Yi from time to time, only to see him looking at it without blinking. Yongyang inserted a hairpin for Nangong Yue, and then Xiao Fei, the person who praised her, gave her the hairpin.

In this way, the initial addition ceremony is completed!

But the hairstyle ceremony is not over yet. After that, Nangong Yue will go to change the skirts together with Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan.

The moment she walked out of the open hall, she couldn't help but look back at Xiao Yi to make sure he was still there. When she turned back, she met Fu Yunyan's clear eyes with a hint of teasing.

Nangong Yue coughed awkwardly, lowered her head and walked forward.

After a while, Huamei came and whispered outside the screen: "Prince Concubine, the Crown Prince asked my servant to tell you, don't worry, he won't leave now..."

Nangong Yue, who was changing her underwear on the other side of the screen, turned red for a moment, as if she was about to bleed. Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan, who were changing her clothes on the side, couldn't help exchanging a look of laughter. Xiao Fei managed to hold back her smile, but Fu Yunyan smiled so hard that his eyes and mouth looked like three crescents, with a deep smile in his eyes.

After changing into plain clothes and skirt, Nangong Yue returned to the open hall. Under Xiao Yi's burning eyes, she continued to perform the second and third addition rituals... It took a full hour, and the entire hairpin ceremony was completed. It's done.

The guests came forward one after another to bow and congratulate, and there was a small banquet after the hairpin ceremony. Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan helped greet the guests bravely, and with the presence of the eldest princess Yongyang, Nangong Yue was shameless and did not show up. After apologizing and leaving, he and Xiao Yi, who had just finished talking to King Zhennan, went to Tingyuge to report to the two grandfathers that they were safe, and then returned to their house.

The maids had already prepared a bathtub and hot water in the clean room... After a while, the sound of water rushing came from the clean room.

Nangong Yue quickly ordered the maids to prepare meals. The food they picked were all Xiao Yi's favorites, except for some meat and sweet snacks. There is no need to cook it specially, because there is a small banquet today, and the kitchen is already prepared.

Dishes and snacks were served like water, and the whole table was filled in no time.

After a while, the sound of water stopped, and Xiao Yi, wearing a moon-white robe and covered with thick water vapor, came out.

With just one glance at him, Nangong Yue vaguely understood.

On weekdays, he would put on his middle coat and come out after bathing, but today he put on his outer robe——

Xiao Yi will leave soon!

Nangong Yue felt a little sad and distressed in her heart.

On the day he left for the expedition, Xiao Yi promised that she would definitely come back when she had her hair done, and he did it.

Huiling City and Luoyue City are far apart. Even if they travel day and night, it will take at least more than two days, just for her hairpin ceremony.

He has to leave again before he can take a good rest...

He always puts her in the most important position.

But Nangong Yue only felt distressed, feeling distressed for him working so hard.

She also understood that this was his intention!

Nangong Yue smiled, as bright as spring breeze and rain, and said: "Ayi, you must be hungry! Eat something quickly!"

Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue deeply. Although she didn't say anything, he knew that she understood.

His little girl is always so smart and considerate!

Make him often feel guilty for not being able to give her the best!

The year before last, as soon as the two got married, he rushed to southern Xinjiang; now, he almost didn’t even catch up with her haircut gift...

Xiao Yi sat down at the table. With this action, he lowered his eyes slightly and hid his thoughts.

While he wolfed down the food, he said to himself that he should be nicer to the smelly girl!

While he was eating, Que'er came in holding Xiao Yi's silver armor. The blood stains on it had been carefully cleaned by several maids, and the armor was polished until it shined.

After Queer put the armor aside, he retreated silently, leaving the last moments before parting to his two masters.

Xiao Yi swept away the food on the table. When Nangong Yue saw a little sauce left at the corner of his mouth, she picked up a handkerchief and couldn't help but move over to wipe the corners of his mouth.

She was about to retreat, but her right wrist holding the handkerchief was grabbed by Xiao Yi. With just a slight effort from him, she lost her balance and bumped into his generous and warm embrace.

Xiao Yi hugged her soft body tightly in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her hair. His breath was filled with the familiar fragrance, so gentle, warm and cozy. This was her breath. Her smell!

He wants to remember this smell firmly. Next, he will not see his smelly girl for a long time!

What to do? ! He hasn't left yet, but he already feels like he's starting to miss her!

Damnable Nanliang people!

A strong murderous aura flashed through Xiao Yi's eyes, but there was a sense of grievance in his movements as he hugged her delicate body and rubbed it lovingly.

After a while, he slowly said: "Stinky girl, wait for me to come back!"

Nangong Yue buried herself in his chest, paused for a moment, and then responded with one word: "Yes!"

It seemed as if something was lingering in her heart, twisting around and seeping... In the quiet inner room, the only sounds left were the breathing and heartbeat of the two of them, one after another. , The heartbeats merged into one beat at some point, and the breaths were entangled together, regardless of each other.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Yi finally made up his mind to let go of Nangong Yue. Needless to say, Nangong Yue knew that he had to leave.

"Ayi, let me put on the armor for you." She looked up at him and smiled slightly, hoping that her smile would be reflected in his eyes and stay in his mind.

Xiao Yi nodded, and Nangong Yue hurriedly took out the soft armor she had made.

Last time Xiao Yi left in a hurry and didn't let him put it on. Fortunately, it's not too late now.

Nangong Yue carefully helped him put on the gold silk armor, and then put on the silver armor. His movements were a little unfamiliar, but he was meticulous and solemn.

The armor is a battle suit that will protect A Yi for her on the battlefield, and will also bring her A Yi back to her.

Xiao Yi watched Nangong Yue’s every move and expression intently. He wanted to stay a little longer, but he knew he had to go!

Huiling City has temporarily relieved the siege, but the Nanliang army is still approaching, and he must return to take charge of the overall situation.

There are also Yanding City, Yongjia City and Dengli City...

This time Nanliang is coming with force and he should not be easily defeated. He still has several tough battles to fight...

After Nangong Yue put on the last breastplate for him, she pulled him to her dressing table and gave him two small porcelain bottles. The quantity is not large, so you can take it with you first. I am adjusting the prescription and asked Baihui to find a few shops. After Zhu Xing checks their background, he will order people to start mass production."

Nangong Yue did not expect that he would come back, and originally planned to have Zhu Xing arrange for someone to deliver it after making some patent medicines.

Xiao Yi stared blankly at the porcelain bottle in her hand. She had already prepared these things without even opening her mouth. The stinky girl and she really had a clear understanding of each other.

In this hot summer, heat-relieving and miasma-relieving medicines are really necessary for the army and can save many lives.

Xiao Yi put the porcelain vase into his arms, suddenly leaned over and hugged her waist again, pecked her pink lips hard, and then strode away through the curtain.

Nangong Yue did not catch up, but just stared at the swaying bead chain on the spot, her heart gradually calming down.

No need to say goodbye, she knows her Ayi will come back safely!

She just needs to protect the family for him and be his strongest backing...

Nangong Yue stood quietly for a while, then called the maids in, redressed, and went to the banquet in the small flower hall.

She walked very slowly. When she reached the small flower hall, all her thoughts were hidden in her heart, and there was nothing strange on her face.

At this time, I heard a familiar female voice coming from inside: "...Cousin Fei, I heard that you have been giving tea and medicine outside the North City Gate during this period, benefiting the people, and I also deeply appreciate it. I feel that I want to do my best for the people in the city."

Nangong Yue's brows moved, and she recognized Qiao Ruolan's voice, and her pace quickened a bit.

Qiao Ruolan was sitting next to Xiao Fei, wearing a pomegranate red and gold-covered mandarin, a peony bun, inlaid with jade and red gold, Guanyin was distracted, and she inserted large pearls and green flowers, which looked jewel-like and bright. people.

She looked at Xiao Fei with a smile, calm and generous, but there was a hint of aggression in her eyes.

Does Cousin Lan want to give tea and medicine with me? Thinking of this, Xiao Fei couldn't help but frown slightly. In the past two days, she had received too many posts. Those posts were full of beautiful things, but in the end, she couldn't escape the word "for name". I'm afraid Cousin Lan's real intention is nothing more than this, right? Thinking of this, Xiao Fei frowned slightly and remained calm.

Seeing that Xiao Fei was silent and silent, the smile on Qiao Ruolan's face became even brighter and she said: "Cousin Fei, I have also accumulated some private money in my daily life. Please accept it so that I can do something for the people in the city. What I can do." As she said that, Qiao Ruolan winked at the maid beside her, who took out a banknote from a purse, took a few steps forward, and presented it to Taoyao next to Xiao Fei.

For a time, all the eyes in the small flower hall were focused on Xiao Fei and Qiao Ruolan. Some ladies showed admiration, but some had half-smiles, thinking: If Qiao Ruolan really wants to do good deeds, , you can definitely find Xiao Fei quietly in private. After all, they are cousins, so it is easy to meet in private. Why do I need to mention it in public? I am obviously trying to gain a good reputation.

Qiao Ruolan looked at Xiao Fei with a smile on her face. When she learned that Xiao Fei opened the tea shop outside Beicheng two days ago, she actually didn't agree with it. This cousin has always been aloof and unkind since she was a child. Now that she is getting older, she knows how to seek fame and reputation. She just gives some tea and some medicine to the untouchables. What's the big deal?

She can also get money.

Qiao Ruolan raised the corners of her lips. Her mother was right. With just five hundred taels of silver notes, she could gain a reputation in front of Princess Yongyang and gain a reputation as a benevolent person. It was really profitable. No harm done.

Qiao Ruolan's earlobes couldn't help but feel a little hot when her mother also said that the grandson of Princess Yongyang was now in southern Xinjiang, had military merit, had a good family background, and was not married yet.

Qiao Ruolan originally thought that Xiao Fei would accept it immediately, but unexpectedly, Xiao Fei remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Fei raised her eyes and looked at Qiao Ruolan, her eyes were clear and firm, and she said unhurriedly: "Cousin Lan, please forgive me for not accepting this bank note!"

One sentence caused silence in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The family values ​​​​face. Qiao Ruolan and Xiao Fei are cousins. No matter how unwilling Xiao Fei is, in such a large public, she will only agree to it. Unexpectedly, Qiao Ruolan has encountered a "hard nut" .

A flash of admiration flashed in Yongyang's eyes, and she sighed in her heart again: Sister Fei is really not like her father and mother!

Qiao Ruolan almost suspected that she had heard wrong. After being stunned for a while, she felt angry, annoyed and resentful in her heart. She felt that everyone's eyes were like needles pricking her body. Mrs. Qiao beside her was even more angry and her cheeks turned red. She was almost bleeding. She never expected that Xiao Fei would be so disrespectful to her daughter. This was equivalent to not giving face to her aunt.

Mrs. Qiao really wanted to slap Xiao Fei **** the face and teach her the rules!

She glanced at the eldest princess Yongyang and held back, then heard her daughter Qiao Ruolan say aggrievedly: "Cousin Fei, why did you refuse my good offer? Although the five hundred taels of silver are a little short, But in the end, it was all my intention..." She sighed with disappointment, and said righteously: "Cousin Fei, I thought you were sincerely giving out free tea and medicine for the people in the city, but I didn't expect you to do so. They are the kind of people who are just trying to gain fame and reputation!" The implication is that Xiao Fei does good deeds to gain a good reputation, not sincerely, so she refuses to accept her money, fearing that her name will be shared with her.

As soon as this statement came out, several ladies and girls at the banquet showed their approval. After thinking about it, what Qiao Ruolan said was exactly what they were thinking, but they didn't say it clearly.

Fu Yunyan was about to speak angrily, but a voice rang out one step ahead of her, "Cousin Lan..." She saw Nangong Yue crossing the threshold and walking in, smiling and saying: "I was just here I heard at the door that my cousin planned to use the saved monthly money to do charity in the city and give tea?...My cousin really had a heart. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to save the five hundred taels of silver..."

Nangong Yue smiled meaningfully, and Mrs. Yao deliberately let out a chuckle and covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

The Crown Princess’ words are really narrow-minded!

But that's not it. Even in a wealthy family like theirs, the monthly money of a legitimate daughter is only three to five taels of silver. Five hundred taels would not cost anything but save eight years.

The female relatives in the banquet stood up one after another. Nangong Yue walked straight to Yong Yang. After bowing her knees and saluting, they all blessed her again.

Nangong Yue smiled, raised her hand and said, "No courtesy." Then she sat next to Yongyang.

After the ladies sat down, Nangong Yue smiled again and said, "Sister Fei, this is your fault. Since Cousin Lan has the intention to do good, we should fulfill her kindness."

Could it be that the Crown Princess is just living in the mud and doesn't want to get into trouble with the eldest aunt in the palace? Some people couldn't help but guess this, and then heard Nangong Yue continue to say with a smile: "Cousin Lan is compassionate and touching, but..." She hesitated to speak.

Qiao Ruolan glanced at Xiao Fei provocatively, and then said: "Sister-in-law, tell me what you want to say. Since it is to do good, Laner should do her best."

Nangong Yue smiled decently and said: "Recently, the tea shop is a little short of manpower due to the large number of people who come to ask for tea and medicine. Since Cousin Lan is so kind, why not go and lend a hand and help."

Qiao Ruolan's expression changed and she blurted out: "Cousin-in-law, does she want me to serve tea and medicine to those untouchables?"

Nangong Yue instantly suppressed her smile, "Cousin Lan, what you said is wrong. Sister Fei and I often go to the tea shop to serve tea and deliver medicines. If we can go, can't you? Or maybe Cousin Lan thinks that as long as we go, Taking out some unused private money counts as accumulating a good reputation?" The corners of her lips curled up slightly, "But, I don't know where Cousin Lan saw that our palace is short of these five hundred taels of silver?"

This time it was not just Mrs. Yao who laughed sullenly, even Mrs. Tian had a smile on her face.

Even a few people who had not thought about it at first, such as Xiao Ni, finally realized that it was a lie that my cousin did good deeds, and it was true that he wanted to use this mere five hundred taels to gain a good reputation for himself. The Qiao family obviously wanted to gain fame, but instead they scolded the girls from the Xiao family. My cousin may have forgotten that half of the Xiao family's blood is flowing in her own body...

It’s not surprising that a girl from a wealthy family has her own petty thoughts, and no one would care too much about it. However, having petty thoughts and treating others as fools are two different things.

Most of the guests here relied on the Crown Prince Xiao Yi, so they were not afraid of Mrs. Qiao, and pursed their lips and smiled lightly.

Qiao Ruolan's face was extremely ugly. What could she say? Was she willing to serve tea and medicine to those dirty untouchables, or was she saying that the palace was short of her five hundred taels of silver? No matter what you say, it's just a joke.

At this moment, she even complained about her mother. If her mother didn't insist on doing this, she wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Mrs. Qiao also looked ugly, but she knew she must not fall out now. Princess Yongyang was still sitting there watching!

Mrs. Qiao looked very considerate and said: "Sister Lan, today is the princess's hairpin gift. If you want to do good deeds, you can't overwhelm the guest. Wait two days and come back to meet your cousin and sister-in-law. Tell me."

Qiao Ruolan bit her lower lip, forced a smile, and said, "It's Lan'er who was rude."

Nangong Yue didn't want her hairpin ceremony to be ruined, so she accepted it as soon as it was ready. Without saying anything more, she generously sifted wine to Yong Yang and other elders.

The maids are serving dishes and snacks one after another...

After using the table, Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Ruolan stood up to leave first, and then everyone else went home one after another.

Xiao Fei helped Nangong Yue see off the guests. After a while, the small flower hall was already empty. Yongyang stayed until the end. Just as she said, she took care of Nangong Yue’s hairpin ceremony from beginning to end. As good as it gets.

Nangong Yue asked Xiao Fei to go back and have a good rest, and personally sent Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan back to Yunliyuan.

While walking on the road, Yongyang held Nangong Yue’s hand distressedly and asked: "Yueer, do you regret it?"

Nangong Yue shook her head without hesitation, with a smile reaching her eyes, "Grandma Yongyang, I am very happy."

Although she and Xiao Yi have been together less and more apart since they got married, and they are inevitably involved in some disputes and incidents whether in the royal capital or in southern Xinjiang, but with Xiao Yi's unreserved sincerity Treat her with no regrets in her life!

Yongyang smiled, patted the back of her hand gently, and said nothing.

The Hairpin Ceremony is finally over...

The days will return to peace, but, Xiao Yi is on the battlefield protecting his family and country, and Nangong Yue naturally does not want to spend his days leisurely at home.

She already has a plan. At this stage, the only thing she can do is to make some standing medicines for the troops on the front line.

There is no small matter in the army. Early the next morning, Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei and Fu Yunyan went to Linzhai in the southwest of the city. Han Qixia came to the gate to greet them personally.

The four girls laughed and went to the pharmacy to see Lin Jingchen. As soon as they lifted the curtain, they smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Nangong Yue's nose twitched slightly, thoughtfully, she smiled and said, "Grandpa, your medicine is almost ready."

The porcelain bottle Nangong Yue gave Xiao Yi contained the medicine she usually made to relieve heat and miasma, and her newly prepared prescription had just been shown to Lin Jingchen two days ago. Yesterday, after Nangong Yue sent Yong Yang back to Yunli Hospital, she went to Tingyu Pavilion to flirt with Lin Jingchen, and Lin Jingchen asked her to come over today to try the medicine.

Lin Jingchen, who was wearing a green t-shirt, was standing by the medicine stove. As soon as he saw Nangong Yue and the others coming, he left the pharmacy and said with a smile: "It's hot inside, let's talk outside." With that, he put a The small box was handed to Nangong Yue, with a few brown pills in it, "Yue'er, this is a batch I just made this morning."

Pharming medicine is not achieved overnight. Lin Jingchen adjusted it according to Nangong Yue's recipe. In just two days, he had already trial-produced several batches of pills.

Nangong Yue took out a pill, looked at its color and smell, and then asked: "Grandpa, what do you think of my prescription?"

Speaking of medicine, Lin Jingchen said seriously: "Yue'er, the idea of ​​your recipe is pretty good. Those herbs do have the effect of relieving summer heat, and there are more of them in southern Xinjiang. They are better than the anti-summer medicine we usually make. The price will be much cheaper, but the medicinal properties of Qingluo fruit are too strong, which may be somewhat harmful to the body..."

Nangong Yue listened attentively to Lin Jingchen's detailed analysis without being impatient. Completing a new prescription is not like settling accounts. It is either right or wrong. It requires countless trials and attempts, so there is the story of Shen Nong tasting a hundred herbs. And listening to Lin Jingchen's tone, she knew there was something to her recipe.

Sure enough——

Just listen to Lin Jingchen continue: "I tried it in the past two days and found that if I add a small amount of dreamgrass, the medicinal properties of Qingluo fruit can be suppressed. Although it will take a few more trials to grasp the amount, But it should still be useful."

"This is really great." Nangong Yue said with joy, "Grandpa, Dreamweed is not a rare medicinal herb in southern Xinjiang. As far as I know, there are many in the mountains outside the city. I will order someone right away. Go find it." So we can work harder to develop new pills!

Without Nangong Yue’s instructions, Baihui took the order and left, and quickly ordered her servants to find the Dream Grass.
