The Favoured Medical Princess: 621 The country was destroyed
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
A melodious and melodious sound of the piano came out leisurely from an elegant seat on the second floor. At one time, it was like the tinkling of spring water, at another time, it was like big and small beads falling on a jade plate, and at another time, it was like a bird chirping...
A woman in green clothes walked out of the lounge, closed the door quietly, and walked toward the stairs. Before she reached the stairs, she heard a "kick, kick, kick, kick" coming from downstairs. The sound of the building was mixed with the loud voice of an old woman: "I think this piano is played well, very smooth and festive. This girl must be beautiful."
The old woman's voice was full of energy, but you could tell from her choice of words that she must be someone who didn't have a lot of ink in her belly.
"Mother is right." Then another female voice spoke, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
While talking, four female guests walked into the corridor, obviously three generations of grandparents. The woman in green clothes hurriedly stepped aside and let the four guests pass by first.
The leader of the four female guests was an old woman with gray hair on her temples. She was very energetic. She was wearing a pea-green plain t-shirt. Her gray hair was combed into a neat bun, with only a hairpin in it. She wore a bamboo hairpin and a pair of dull silver bracelets on her wrists. She was dressed very simply. Even the waiters in Huanxi Pavilion wearing green clothes were better dressed than this old woman.
In contrast, the middle-aged woman next to the old woman and the two young girls behind her seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds. The middle-aged woman was wearing an indigo-blue precious flower-embroidered turban, and her two The two young girls have somewhat similar looks. They should be sisters. The older sister is wearing a gold-threaded begonia red flower gown, while the younger sister is wearing a peach-red brocade pattern with hanging legs and branches wrapped all over. The materials should be all made of them. Looking at the hairpins, earrings, necklaces, etc. worn by the three of them, they are all exquisite and luxurious.
With these four female guests standing together, the old woman seemed a little out of place.
The woman in green clothes is convinced. Unlike the royal capital and Jiangnan, which have centuries-old families with profound foundations, there are many families in southern Xinjiang who are called "nouveau riche" by some aristocratic families. For example, in southern Xinjiang, The biggest "nouveau riche" in Xinjiang is probably Zhennan Prince's Mansion. It only took a few decades for him to get rich. His ancestors can't tell you how many generations... There are too many families like this in southern Xinjiang!
Some people come out of hard times and want to wear gold and gold and put all their belongings on them, while some people are used to hard times, and even now that their lives are better, they are used to simplicity.
"Sister Wei, do you hear the sound of the piano coming from over there?" The old woman said as she walked quickly towards the seating room.
"Grandma!" The older of the two girls quickly followed up and persuaded softly, "Isn't it appropriate for you to just go over like this?"
"What's wrong?" The old woman smiled disapprovingly, "I listened to her piano and thought it was good, so naturally I should praise her a few times. Sister Wei, you should also learn from this and don't always Playing those tragic songs... sounds weak."
The face of the woman in green clothes changed slightly. Listening to the old woman's tone, could it be that she wanted to... Oops! If this disturbs the purity of several noble people in the elegant seats, it will not be beautiful.
"Old lady, wait a minute..."
The woman in green clothes hurriedly wanted to call the old woman, but she was a step too late. She only heard a "squeak" and the old woman had already pushed the door open regardless, saying: "Excuse me?"
The sound of the piano in the lounge suddenly stopped, and then, the girl named Sister Wei blurted out in surprise: "Shi...Mrs. Xiao?"
The woman in green clothes was startled. Could it be that they knew the imperial concubine? !
Following that, the middle-aged woman also said apologetically: "Mrs. Xiao, I am really annoying."
Seeing Nangong Yue tilt her head slightly, Baihui said gently and politely: "Mrs. Chang, Miss Chang, please sit inside."
The door to the private dining room was closed, and the woman in green clothes breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking toward the stairs.
But Xiao Rongxuan, the second girl in the private seat, was not so happy and secretly glared at the visitor.
She was playing the piano normally, and wanted her sister-in-law to have a good look at her piano skills, so that her sister-in-law would know that compared to her fourth sister, she was a talented woman who was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but unexpectedly, three people ran out in the middle of the process. Cheng Yaojin interrupted her. But since the person who came knew the sister-in-law, he must be someone who could be called by her name, so he could only sit there dignifiedly and smile politely.
Xiao Rongying glanced at her second sister lightly and secretly cheered for the Chang family.
Mrs. Chang didn't notice the sparks between Xiao Ronxuan and Xiao Rongying, and was secretly happy in her heart. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law did a good thing by accident. She was originally worried about her bad luck last time and failed in Bixiaotang. After chatting with the Crown Princess for a few words, I didn't expect that this time I happened to sit in Huanxi Pavilion and bump into her. It seems that my family and the palace are somewhat connected. Today I have to find a way to get my two daughters to get close to the Crown Princess and Miss Xiao.
"I have met the Crown Princess." Mrs. Chang stepped forward to greet Nangong Yue with a smile, her eyes glide over Xiao Fei, Xiao Rongxuan, Xiao Ni and Xiao Rongying without leaving a trace, secretly guessing which one is Xiao. The eldest girl said warmly, "This is my mother-in-law and my youngest daughter, whose maiden name is Huanzhi."
The Chang family? ! A flash of disapproval flashed in Xiao Rongxuan's eyes. No wonder it was like this. I had heard for a long time that Mrs. Chang was from a rural background and she made a lot of jokes in her early years... Now it seems that after so many years, she has not even washed off the mud on her legs. It is so vulgar. rude.
No matter what Xiao Rongxuan was thinking, she could only stand up and greet the Chang family as if nothing had happened.
After seeing each other, Mrs. Chang smiled as soon as she sat down and said: "Prince, I just heard the sound of the piano outside and thought it was very festive and pleasant, so I came over to see which girl was playing the piano. It didn't bother me. The Crown Princess." As she said that, she looked at Xiao Rongxuan with a smile on her face.
Xiao Rongxuan's expression was a little subtle. She didn't know whether to be happy that the other party was praising her piano skills in front of her sister-in-law, or whether she should be disgusted with the other party's vulgar words. It was so festive. She clearly played the song with a melodious voice.
"Mrs. Chang, don't worry, my sisters and I are just resting here." Nangong Yue smiled gently.
Although this old woman with a bold temperament is a bit reckless, she still has her true temperament. She is obviously very different from Chang Huaixi, but somehow she feels that these two grandsons are indeed direct relatives. .
Mrs. Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the imperial concubine was not angry, she said, "Didn't the imperial concubine just go to Anlan Palace to pray for blessings and come here to rest?" The implication is that the four of them have also just returned from Anlan. Come out of the palace to pray for blessings.
Nangong Yue responded with a smile.
"What a coincidence!" Mrs. Chang slapped her thigh generously and smiled, "I heard that the Crown Prince just visited Yanding City a few years ago. I wonder if you have met my grandson? Crown Prince Concubine, my brother Xi didn’t cause any trouble, did he?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Chang was dumbfounded. Her mother-in-law's previous sentence was very convincing. What does this last sentence mean? Did any mother-in-law ask this question? ...Isn't this too honest?
Mrs. Chang's brows twitched silently, and she looked at Nangong Yue nervously, fearing to offend him.
Mrs. Chang is really worried. Although she was the one who decided to let Brother Xi go to the military camp to find a future, Brother Xi is really a man who does whatever he wants and does whatever he wants, especially his stubborn temper, just like his grandfather. Same! She didn't say anything, but for six months, she worried day and night that he would cause trouble there. She remembered that her grandfather had made the old prince angry many times, and he had been beaten with military sticks many times.
Last time my daughter-in-law went to the palace to deliver New Year's gifts, she came back and said that her grandson must have been favored by the prince, but when asked carefully, she couldn't tell the reason. Hey, my daughter-in-law always does things in such a roundabout way, why don't we just ask her directly? ! No need to speculate in secret.
Mrs. Chang's last question made the atmosphere in the elegant seats relax, and Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei couldn't help laughing.
The smile on Nangong Yue’s face grew stronger, and she said warmly: "Mrs. Chang, your grandson has never gotten into trouble, so you can rest assured."
There was an obvious sense of closeness in the words of the Crown Princess. Mrs. Chang finally let go of her hanging heart. It seemed that the mother-in-law made a mistake. In just a few words, the royal family and their Chang family got a lot closer. .
"It's good that we didn't cause any trouble!" Mrs. Chang laughed a few times and thought to herself: The Crown Princess is worthy of being the Crown Princess, she is indeed a neat personality, this is how a woman's family should be! In the past, when they were in the countryside, men were fighting outside, and if a woman was soft-tempered, she would be bullied to the point of being bullied. No wonder the prince has won many battles over the years. This is a wise wife! Well, just like when I was young!
The more Mrs. Chang looked at Nangong Yue, the more she felt that everyone was of the same mind, and she said cheerfully: "Concubine, please tell the prince, you can call me your grandson, but this boy has to be raised rough. Practice hard and practice hard. It's not like the saying goes about jade or other utensils. This boy has been raised so preciously, he is just like a female doll." As she said that, she also deliberately glanced at her daughter-in-law, looking at her often. The lady looked helpless.
"What Mrs. Chang said is that jade cannot be used if it is not polished." Nangong Yue smiled and nodded, thinking: There is another saying, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
"Prince Princess, this is the truth!" Mrs. Chang said excitedly, stroking her palms.
The old man and the young man had very different temperaments, and they actually kept talking for a while... For a while, Mrs. Chang's bold talk and laughter could be heard from time to time in the dining room.
After lunch at Huanxi Pavilion, Nangong Yue and his party headed back home. As soon as they returned to their own yard, Huamei hurriedly stepped forward to report that Zhu Xing had just sent something.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, walked quickly in, and immediately saw a small box placed on the table.
It seems that Zhu Xing succeeded!
Baihui on the side was also staring at the box, vaguely guessing what it was, and looking forward to it.
Nangong Yue opened the box and saw a white porcelain jar with some complicated red patterns placed inside. As soon as he opened the jar, a familiar medicinal smell hit his face. Just from this smell, Nangong Yue recognized that the black ointment in the jar was Wuhe ointment.
Years ago, Nangong Yue asked Zhu Xing to ask Han Huaijun to urge him to arrange the Wuhe anointing, and then the secret guards waited for it. It was not until today that they robbed it from the hands of the Baiyue people who sent Wuhe anointing. Come over.
Huamei looked at Wuhe Cream with a smile, and said with a slight curl in the corner of his mouth: "Prince Concubine, I'm afraid the concubine Baiyi never thought that we were the ones who robbed Wuhe Cream." Thinking that Baiyi knew about Wuhe Cream The angry look when he was robbed made Huamei feel happy in his heart.
There is only a small jar of Wuhe ointment, only two or three kilograms, but it is of great significance to their experiment.
Nangong Yue closed the box and ordered: "Baihui, take this Wuhe ointment to Lin's house and give it to my grandfather."
"Yes, Crown Princess."
Baihui quickly picked up the wooden box again, lifted the curtain and went out, leaving only the string of beaded chains colliding with each other and swaying.
The matter was so important that Baihui didn't delay and immediately came to Dongyi Gate with the small box in hand.
After a while, the groom came over in a green-covered carriage.
Baihui lifted up her skirt and was about to get on the carriage when she heard a serious and old-fashioned voice coming from not far behind: "Miss Baihui!"
This sound seems to be...
Baihui turned around and followed the sound, only to see Aunt Chu, who was wearing an ocher-colored gourd-patterned trousers, slowly walking towards her with a stern face, followed by two young girls. A young maid.
"Aunt Chu." Baihui greeted Aunt Chu gracefully.
After Grandma Chu entered Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue temporarily asked her to take a few new maids who had just entered the house and cleaned the unused yards. The work was relatively leisurely and would not make her homeless. There is work to be done, and there is no suspicion of treating an old servant harshly.
Nanny Chu just came back from the northeast corner. When she saw Baihui here, she seemed to be going out, so she hurried over.
Nanny Chu glanced at the carriage behind Baihui, frowned, and asked: "Miss Baihui, are you leaving the mansion? Why are you leaving the mansion?" Her tone sounded neither happy nor angry. But there was an obvious questioning.
"I am leaving the mansion on the orders of the Crown Princess." Baihui answered the first question, but avoided the second question.
Nanny Chu frowned more tightly and thought to herself: The imperial concubine is too young, and the rules of the imperial family are really lax. How can a maid leave the house at will if she has nothing to do?
"Miss Baihui," Aunt Chu said righteously, "I think that when the late princess was still alive, she had set rules for Bixiaotang. The maids and wives in the inner courtyard were not allowed to show off easily if they did not have a waist card. The palace, lest something happen outside and ruin the reputation of the palace and Bixiaotang."
Although Aunt Chu had just arrived at Bixiaotang a few days ago, she left the house after all. She immediately struck up a conversation with some old people she had known before, and learned a lot about Bixiao from their mouths. Regarding things in Xiaotang, for example, this girl Baihui is the eldest maid of the imperial concubine, and she is also the person who is most valued by the imperial concubine. It is said in the palace that the imperial concubine plans to keep Baihui by her side as the manager of the inner courtyard after she gets married. of. It is evident that the Crown Princess attaches great importance to him.
If you want to gain a foothold in Bixiaotang, you must first conquer this Baihui. Aunt Chu secretly said to herself that as long as she stood upright, even if she sued the Crown Princess, she would still be justified.
Baihui looked at Aunt Chu indifferently, her dark and deep eyes were calm, clear and calm, as if she could look directly into people's hearts.
"Here comes someone!"
She uttered two words, and the woman waiting on the carriage immediately nodded and bowed to greet her.
"Nanny Chu is tired, let's take her to rest." After Baihui gave the order, she got onto the carriage neatly while carrying her skirt.
Nanny Chu was originally prepared, thinking that Baihui would have a quarrel with her, but she did not expect that the other party would act so simply and rudely. It was really...
Nanny Chu still wanted to step forward, but was blocked by the old lady: "Nanny Chu, don't make this difficult for me..." As she spoke, another rough lady came over.
Nanny Chu's face darkened. Today was different from the past. She thought about who would dare to treat her like this when she took care of the prince. It can be seen that if the rules of the inner courtyard are not carefully regulated, sooner or later the etiquette will be messed up and a joke will be made.
You must have a good talk with the Crown Princess!
Although I did not follow the order of the late princess to take care of the prince as he grew up, but it was unavoidable. The late princess would definitely understand me. Now that he is back, he will definitely make up for his helplessness back then and take good care of the inner courtyard for the prince.
Thinking of this, Nanny Chu walked towards the main courtyard of Bixiaotang without hesitation.
But...
I couldn't even get into the yard before I was stopped by the little maid.
Not long after, Magpie came out and said with a smile: "The Crown Princess is resting, and the slaves dare not disturb her."
Nanny Chu frowned and said, "What time of the year is this? The Crown Princess is really..."
"Aunt Chu." Que'er stopped her smile and interrupted her coldly, "The imperial concubine is the master and you are the servant. Aunt Chu still needs to recognize her identity." She said without saying anything. He shrugged and walked away, leaving only the pale-faced Aunt Chu behind.
Que'er returned to the house and saw Nangong Yue lazily leaning on the beauty's couch, holding a travel journal in her hand and flipping through it carelessly.
She whispered back: "Prince Concubine, you are still outside."
"Ignore it." Nangong Yue said nonchalantly.
An old servant like Nanny Chu has a sense of arrogance because she once served the late princess. Only by knocking off her arrogance and letting her understand her identity can she be honest.
It has been nineteen years, and there is no rush for this moment.
"Is Xiao Hui back?" Nangong Yue asked. Xiao Hui has been missing since last night, and he probably went to look for Han Yu again.
This little Hui’s temper has become more and more wild since he went to Yanding City!
It’s all because A Yi got used to it!
Thinking of Xiao Yi, the corners of Nangong Yue’s lips curled up, and her eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Dengli City...
The quiet afternoon passed quietly, the sun gradually set, and the night became darker and heavier.
The night in Dengli City is quiet, but it is different from the dead silence before. The silence now is peaceful silence.
In the garrison mansion, the candles were not extinguished. In the silent night, the firelight danced lively.
Guan Yubai, who had already bathed and changed his clothes, with long black hair hanging around his head, was sitting behind a large desk, looking at a map placed on the desk attentively. Next to the map were several pieces of tissue paper, with some scattered writing on them. Names and some place names: such as Kuilang, Nuhar...Sigelai Mountain, Ruijiang City...
Guan Yubai's slender fingers kept moving on the map. Judging from his concentration, it was obvious that he had no intention of sleeping for a while.
Xiao Si frowned and wanted to persuade him but in the end he refused. He picked up the celadon tea cup that Guan Yubai had in his hand and planned to add some tea to the young master. However, he stopped after taking only one step and looked at him. Looking out the window...
Guan Yubai immediately noticed Xiaosi's strange movement and looked up thoughtfully.
I don’t know when there was a gray shadow in the bright silver moon outside. The gray shadow was getting bigger and bigger, flying closer and lower... You could vaguely see it was a white dove, and there was a gray dove behind it. The eagle follows you like a shadow.
The chubby white pigeon was obviously frightened. Its wings flapped non-stop, and occasionally a few thin white feathers fell down. The gray eagle behind it was obviously playing with the pigeon. Every time the white pigeon After struggling to fly forward a little, the gray eagle deliberately lengthened the distance between them, but then it fluttered its wings heroically twice and caught up again in the blink of an eye...
The poor white pigeon struggled to escape, Xiao Si frowned, this Xiao Hui really knew how to pick the time, and came to bully his own pigeon again!
Xiao Si put down the tea cup, propped it up casually on the window sill, and quickly jumped out of the study.
After a while, he returned the same way, holding a fat white pigeon in one hand, holding a small bamboo tube sealed with wax in the other hand, and handed it to Guan Yubai's hand.
Following that, Xiao Hui also flew over. Instead of entering the house, he stopped on a branch outside the window and looked down at the house.
Little Si did not look at Xiao Hui, but said firmly to Guan Yubai: "Young master, he flew here from Nanliang."
"Cuckoo——" The fat white pigeon seemed to be responding to him. It called softly, its chubby body trembled, and it shrank straight into Xiaosi's arms, trying to avoid the door outside the window. The "cold and terrifying" look really scared the pigeons to death!
Guan Yubai quickly took out the tissue paper from the small bamboo tube, unfolded it quickly, and looked down at it with a faint smile on his lips.
Feige came from Xiao Yi.
On the silk paper, there was a sentence written with flying dragons and phoenixes - Wuli City has been destroyed, and the King of Nanliang has been captured alive.
Wuli City is the capital of Nanliang. In December, Xiao Yi had already arrived at Wuli City, but he still did not attack the city. It was not until all the surrounding cities were cleared that he officially beat the war drum three days ago. .
In just three days, Wuli City was destroyed!
Nanliang is destroyed!
