The Favoured Medical Princess: 691 Gift

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

Mammy led Bai Muxiao to Dongcijian, and there was a little maid in front holding the curtain for them.

Along with the clear sound of the curtain being raised, a familiar male voice could be heard coming from the house: "...Ming'er, my mother-in-law is unwell. Tomorrow the king will accompany you to your parents' home to visit your mother-in-law."

The maiden name of Princess Chen is Chen Xiu Ming, and the word "Ming'er" refers to Chen.

Except Han Lingfu, who else in this county prince's palace dares to call Mrs. Chen like that? !

The corners of Bai Muxiao's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. It turns out that Han Lingfu is also there!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Mother will be very happy to know." Mrs. Chen responded meekly, with a bit of flatterment in her tone.

While talking, Bai Muxiao walked into the East Room and saw Han Lingfu and Chen sitting together on the Arhat bed. There was only a small table between them. The couple seemed to respect each other as guests. .

Bai Muxiao continued to step forward without revealing anything, and first saluted the two of them respectfully, and then carefully abided by her duties as a concubine and served tea and water to the two of them, "Your Majesty, Princess, Please drink tea." There was nothing wrong with her behavior.

Ms. Chen felt proud and deliberately talked to Han Lingfu about returning to the Chen Mansion tomorrow. Han Lingfu suppressed the reluctance in his heart, picked up the teacup offered by Bai Muxiao to cover up the impatience at the corner of his mouth, suppressed the irritability in his heart and continued Dealing with Chen...

After talking to Mr. Chen about some insignificant trivia, Han Lingfu suddenly frowned, his heartbeat in his chest sped up two beats, and a strong sense of fatigue suddenly came over him.

He wanted to rub his eyebrows, but couldn't help but yawn lazily.

He has been feeling a little out of sorts lately, feeling indescribably uncomfortable. Han Lingfu couldn't help but think: Maybe it's time to find an imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse...

Seeing the tiredness on his face, Chen said sagely: "Your Majesty, you have just come back. You must be tired." After saying that, she looked at Bai Muxiao and said calmly, "Sister Bai , Why don’t you help the prince to rest!"

Ms. Chen's tone was very scornful, a bit condescending, as if she was giving orders to a maid.

"Yes, Princess." Bai Muxiao humbly agreed without any dissatisfaction.

Bai Muxiao left the main courtyard with Han Lingfu, and the two of them went all the way to Xinghui Courtyard.

It was still late at this moment, and the sun in the sky was still a little bright. However, there were many trees and plants in the Prince's Mansion, and the thick green shade covered most of the sun. The surrounding area seemed remote and peaceful.

"Xiao'er, did you go to Nangong Mansion just now?" Seeing no one around, Han Lingfu asked, "What is the current situation in Nangong Mansion?"

Bai Muxiao nodded and sighed: "Your Majesty, Nangong Mansion is just pretending to be noble after closing its doors to thank guests." After a pause, a faint sarcasm flashed in her eyes, "I guess they will wait a few days. It’s time to come and beg you, Your Majesty.”

Han Lingfu was not surprised and said: "The Nangong family has always been ignorant of good and evil."

As he spoke, Han Lingfu looked forward. The sun shone through the dense shade of trees and cast a mottled light and shadow in front of him. There was a hint of mystery in the silence.

"Now that they are not forced to a dead end, for the sake of face, they have to pretend to be noble and maintain the so-called scholarly character. But when they know how powerful it is, they will naturally come to ask for help."

Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao with tenderness, and said tenderly: "Xiao'er, don't worry, I will avenge your humiliation no matter what!" Thinking of everything in the past, Han Lingfu flashed with hatred.

Han Lingfu spoke affectionately, but Bai Muxiao knew very well that even if Han Lingfu really wanted to take revenge, it would not be for her, but for the Nangong family's humiliation of him.

This man will also say some nice words to make her happy.

But on the surface, Bai Muxiao looked moved and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern for Xiaoer."

Bai Muxiao looked up at Han Lingfu affectionately, her eyes were like autumn water, as graceful as orchids in an empty valley, making Han Lingfu unable to look away.

"Xiao'er..." Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao infatuatedly, their eyes locked together, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

The maids and Xiao Lizi wisely kept a distance from their masters.

Han Lingfu couldn't help but hold Bai Muxiao's hand, and was about to suggest that the two of them go for a walk in the garden, but a wave of tiredness hit him again, and he couldn't help but yawned twice in succession.

Seeing this, a strange light flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, but she looked at Han Lingfu with concern and said: "Your Majesty, have you been worried about official duties these days? Why do you have to take care of your own body?"

Han Lingfu yawned again and said nonchalantly: "I'm fine. Xiao'er, I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well in the palace for the past two days. What I miss most is the soup you made with your own hands. It's like It's like I'm addicted to it..." he said jokingly.

He originally said it unintentionally, but after the words came out, his thoughts moved.

He seemed to be shaken suddenly, and all his fatigue disappeared.

He suddenly remembered something. When Kui Lang was discussing cooperation with him, he mentioned that Wuhe ointment could make the Five Emperors addicted and unable to extricate themselves. Could it be... Could it be that I am also...

Han Lingfu's eyes flashed. These days, he would use the soup made by Bai Muxiao almost every day, but if he didn't use it for a day, he would lose his energy. This time he was left in the palace and did not come back for two whole days, and the symptoms became more obvious... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. Over the years, he has been accustomed to being patient and keeping a calm expression.

"As long as the prince likes it. Then Xiao'er will wash his hands and make soup for the prince tonight with his own hands to thank the prince for venting his anger on Xiao'er." Bai Muxiao playfully blessed Han Ling with a beautiful smile. People are like beautiful women.

On normal days, Han Lingfu would have become more and more affectionate as he looked at her, but at this moment, he was a little frightened.

Bai Muxiao continued without realizing it: "When the Nangong family is convicted, although the married daughter will not be implicated, my cousin Yue's life will not be easy." In his words, it is inevitable that there will be a hint of emotion. A hint of expectation.

It was like the flowers as white as snow were suddenly stained with dust.

Han Lingfu stared at the smile at the corner of Bai Muxiao's mouth without blinking.

The fine sunlight shines through the gaps in the shade of the trees, casting mottled light and shadow on the beautiful couple, making their faces half-dark and half-dark, revealing an inexplicable weirdness...

The weather in the Royal Capital is sunny, and the blue sky is cloudless. In the far south, Wuli City, the capital of Nanliang, is also sunny, and it is three points hotter than the Royal Capital.

In the back garden of Nanliang Palace, in a water pavilion that is transparent on all sides, crisp music swirls, mixed with the rhythmic sound of tambourines.

In the center of the water pavilion, a girl with honey-colored skin and a white magnolia dress is spinning her body gracefully and quickly, so fast, so steady, and so light, like a top, and like she is spinning among the flowers. , like white butterflies dancing on the water.

As the music became more intense, she continued to spin faster and faster, as if her whole body was about to fly.

After a burst of rapid clang, the music suddenly came, and the girl stopped. Her steps were still so steady, her eyes were clear, like a still sculpture, only the corners of her forehead were slightly shining. The sweat beads showed that she had danced wantonly just now.

"Silent as a virgin, moving as a jumping rabbit, wonderful!"

A clear female voice sounded with a smile, and a beautiful woman in pink clothes was sitting on the side of the water pavilion. Her fair skin was in sharp contrast to the honey-skinned dancer.

Xiao Yi, who was dressed in an indigo robe, sat next to her, looking at her with a smile, feeding her a plum from time to time, reluctant to look away.

Although the dancer could not understand Dayu's words, she saw that Nangong Yue's face was full of smiles, and she must be in a good mood, so she stepped forward, opened her skirt, and bowed slightly to thank her. That exotic face showed a generous smile to Nangong Yue, without blushing or breathing.

Nangong Yue ordered Gardenia to reward the dancer with a few pieces of silver, and then had her taken away.

Nangong Yue watched the other party leave with some emotion, and said: "Ayi, with her ability, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it in less than ten years."

The dance of their Dayu is softer and slower, which is completely different from the passion and unrestrainedness of this Nanliang dance, so Nangong Yue finds this Nanliang dance a bit fresh.

Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously and said casually: "Isn't it just a few turns? What's so difficult?" As he said that, he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

Zhi Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue guessed that he was probably going to "offer" a dance and hurriedly tried to change the subject.

She was about to stand up, but in the next moment, Xiao Yi stood up alertly, one step ahead of her, and happened to hold her arm, carefully helping her up.

"Ah Yue, do you want to go back to Yuexi Palace?" He asked diligently.

Nangong Yue pointed to the support railing on the west side of the water pavilion with a little helplessness and said: "Ayi, I want to go over there to feed the fish."

As she spoke, her brows twitched. Ever since it was confirmed that she was pregnant, in the past few days, as long as Xiao Yi was by her side, he would look like this, either hugging or supporting her, as if he was Like a fragile enamel doll, especially during the first two days in the house, she had almost no chance to get off the ground.

In fact, when she first learned that she was pregnant, Nangong Yue, who was a mother for the first time, was a little nervous, but in the past few days, she has become much calmer.

She was in good health all the way from southern Xinjiang to Nanliang on horseback. Apart from lethargy, she had neither nausea nor vomiting as mentioned in medical books, nor dizziness and fatigue. It was obvious that the child was very healthy and well-behaved.

Maybe she is really as well-behaved as A Yi thought.

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly, unable to hide the look of anticipation.

Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly. Although he wanted to say that he could carry her there, with A Yue's shy temperament, he probably wouldn't be willing to carry her around in broad daylight.

He didn't want to challenge A-Yue's limits, so he had to work hard to make A-Yue adapt little by little.

Xiao Yi secretly planned in his heart.

What is this guy doing? ! Nangong Yue twitched her brows and said again: "Ayi, didn't you agree with Mr. Guan yesterday that you were going to see the horses? Go quickly." Nangong Yue said almost urging him.

In order to purchase war horses for the Youqi Camp, the army began to select major horse dealers in Nanliang last month and selected a few.

Today, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were going to take a look in person to decide from whom to purchase war horses.

Xiao Yi pouted, it's a good thing he described it as "beautiful", otherwise when a man makes this expression, it would be so awkward that it would make people's skin crawl, but on his face, it only looked pitiful.

How could he not know that Nangong Yue was deliberately changing the subject, but the horse watching thing had been agreed upon long ago, so he couldn't just accept Xiaobai's appointment temporarily.

Xiao Yi hesitated and walked away, looking back three times.

Nangong Yue leaned against the railing and fed the fish, looking at the koi carp swimming happily in the pond. Even her heart calmed down and she felt very relaxed.

After a while, a palace maid in a blue dress walked over quickly and respectfully reported in harsh Dayu dialect: "Prince Concubine, the Gu Na family has sent a congratulatory gift." After saying this, the palace maid respectfully raised her hands with her hands. The gift list was presented, "Prince Princess, this is the gift list."

Nangong Yue just raised her eyebrows slightly, without any surprise on her face.

In the past few days, not only the Gu Na family, but also the major families in Nanliang have sent congratulatory gifts one after another after hearing that the new owner of the Nanliang territory came to Wuli City.

Nangong Yue casually took the gift list and looked at it casually.

Like other gift notes that have been sent recently, the gift notes are written in Dayu's script. However, compared to the slightly awkward writings sent by some people, the handwriting on this gift note is elegant and straight, which is considered acceptable even in Dayu.

Recalling the fairly fluent Dayu dialect spoken by the girl from the Gu Na family, Nangong Yue thought, maybe it was written by the girl Lisa Luo.

Nangong Yue quickly scanned the gift list and paused for a moment on a certain gift——

Jade carving of Qilin sending his son.

Qilin is a benevolent beast that symbolizes good luck. According to "Shiyiji", it is said that on the eve of Confucius's birth, a Qilin wrote a jade book on his home, which said "The descendants of Shuijing will decline and become kings of the Zhou Dynasty." Since then, there has been a saying that "Qilin sends his son".

Thinking of the child in her belly, Nangong Yue's lips curled up slightly. This unicorn sending a child had a good metaphor.

"Bring this 'Qilin Sending Son' to me for a look." Nangong Yue ordered.

The palace maid was startled for a moment and responded hurriedly.

In the past few days, the major families in Nanliang have rarely sent gifts to the palace. However, no matter how valuable the gifts were, the Crown Princess only glanced at the gift list and ordered them to store it in the treasury. Unexpectedly, today But I made an exception for the Guna family.

Nangong Yue gave the order, and the palace people naturally did not dare to neglect it. They opened the box as quickly as possible and took out the jade sculpture of "Qilin Sending His Son".

The oily green jade carving is placed on red velvet cloth. It is no more than the size of a fist and is very delicately carved. On the back of the unicorn sits a boy holding a lotus. The lines are smooth and meticulous, capturing the charm of both. , the majestic unicorn is in sharp contrast with the naive boy, which looks very interesting.

This jade carving is extremely delicate, whether it is a unicorn or a boy, you can see the unique rhyme,

The quality of the jade carving is as smooth and delicate as silk, full of water and full of fluorescence. It is clearly the dragon stone emerald worth thousands of gold.

The jadeite dragon stone is a rare treasure among jadeites, so naturally it is not available everywhere!

Nangong Yue thought of something, raised her eyes thoughtfully, and then picked up the emerald jade carving and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, looking at the size and water head, it should be the one that opened at the jade market that day. The piece of dragon stone emerald that came out was carved from it.

I didn’t expect that the girl from Gu Na’s family put a lot of thought into it.

Nangong Yue raised her lips slightly, a smile flashing in her eyes.

The emerald jade was not taken away that day because she had no shortage of good jade, but she liked the "Kirin Giving Son" jade carving very much.

Seeing that Nangong Yue liked it, Gardenia joked a little stiffly from the side: "Prince Princess, this 'Qilin Sends a Child' is auspicious and pleasing, do you want a slave to help you place it in the house?"

Nangong Yue nodded, held it in her hand and played with it again.

After returning from the Jade Market that day, Nangong Yue asked someone about the Gu Na family, and found out that the Gu Na family used to be the largest imperial merchant in Nanliang, and they used to provide military horses for the former Nanliang army. It's just that since the fall of Nanliang, the Gu Na family has changed from imperial merchants to ordinary merchants, and because they once provided military horses for the Nanliang army, even if Xiao Yi did not target them, their current status has also become It's a little embarrassing.

It’s no wonder that Lisa Luo deliberately arranged that chance encounter and went to great lengths to give this great gift.

I don’t know if there are any horse dealers like this or that one here today.

Speaking of horse selection, at this moment, the racecourse in the northwest corner of Nanliang Palace is bustling with people, and the "horse" heads are buzzing.

A total of three horse dealers came today. They were selected after several rounds of screening, and each brought dozens of good horses.

At this time, there were at least nearly two hundred horses in the racecourse, plus the head of the horse dealer and a group of Southern Xinjiang Army soldiers guarding the racecourse, making the racecourse very lively.

The arrival of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai immediately attracted everyone's attention. The heads of the three horse dealers all came in person, and their faces could not suppress the look of anticipation and anxiety.

Now that the Nanliang Dynasty has died, the territory of Nanliang has returned to the prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi. For them, if their horse can be selected by Prince Xiao, it will be a great opportunity for their family, and maybe they can do it again. The glorious rise of the Guna family back then.

"Your Majesty, please come this way."

Meng Yiliang, dressed in armor, followed Xiao Yi respectfully. In the past ten years, Meng Yiliang has been in charge of war horses in the Southern Xinjiang Army, including this selection, so he also came with him to select horses today.

At this moment, the horses of the three horse dealers have been surrounded by wooden fences. The lines are clearly separated, and it feels like the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.

"Your Majesty," Meng Yiliang said, pointing to the fence closest to the entrance, which contained about forty black horses. "These are the horses sent by the Gula family. The fence in the middle is It must be the horse from the Dele family, and the horse that is farthest away is the horse from the Ai Xi family. Sir, the Dele family has the best horse farm in Nanliang. As the saying goes, a good horse comes from the legs. Sir, look, this The black horse of the Dele family has a well-proportioned physique and strong limbs. At first glance, it is a good horse with great strength and good running."

Meng Yiliang talked confidently and seized this opportunity to show off his strengths in front of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi kept smiling. Even Meng Yiliang could feel his good mood and spoke even harder.

Xiao Yi responded casually, glanced roughly around the racecourse, turned to Guan Yubai and said, "Xiao Bai, let's take a look."

Of course Guan Yubai had no objection, so the two of them started looking at the dozens of horses from Gula's house.

Today's three horse dealers can stand out in several rounds of screening. Their horses are naturally high-quality horses and are also qualified as war horses. But what Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai chose this time were not ordinary war horses, but ones for the Youqi camp.

This time, Guan Yubai plans to buy 3,000 good horses first.

After that, they will need more war horses...

More war horses mean burning money. Even if Xiao Yi has no idea about silver, he still knows that even though he has taken back the property given by his grandfather and has an additional silver mine to his name, he may not be able to catch up with his burning money. The speed of money.

We still need to find ways to make more money...

Guan Yubai could see what he was thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "When the taxes in Nanliang come up this year, our money will be much easier."

Taxes? !

Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up.

He was used to living a hard life with little money to spare, and he had forgotten that things were no better than before. The land of Nanliang already belongs to him, and the annual taxes are a large amount of income, which is more than enough to buy a few horses!

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said boldly: "Xiao Bai, you can choose, it doesn't matter if you buy them all!"

Guan Yu smiled and shook his head.

While talking, the two slipped around the fence of Gula's house and came out again.

Meng Yiliang, who was standing by, saw that Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were so familiar with each other. A trace of gloom flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it again. He stepped forward and said: "Master, Mr. Hou, in front of you is The Dele family's horse..."

Meng Yiliang led the two people into the second fence.
