The Favoured Medical Princess: 313 Zhongchang
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
As the lone boat gets closer, the sound of the xun becomes clearer and clearer. It is simple and resentful, full of vicissitudes of life and desolate, revealing the deep pain of lovesickness and lingering sadness.
This song "Sauve Acacia" is originally a piano piece, but now it is played by a xun, which makes it seem more sad and miserable. The resentful music makes the listener's heart tremble.
Not far away, the three young masters by the lake were already fascinated by what they heard. Among them, the young master in blue brocade robe looked at the woman in the lone boat with burning eyes, and blurted out: "Isn't that one the best? ..."
"The Saint of Baiyue, the dressmaker!" the friend replied without thinking.
"It's the sound of nature! It's really the sound of nature." The blue-robed young man tapped his palm with the handle of the fan and praised it profusely.
The three of them all followed the figure laying out the clothes with their eyes obsessively...
As Ye Guzhou gradually approached Yue Ban Pavilion, the sound of the xun gradually became softer and ended with a long sigh, as if even the air around it trembled.
Baiyi put down the xun in his hand and looked towards the moon pavilion.
Zhengyi also followed the Holy Master to Yinglan Palace. Because the peace talks had not made any progress and Kuilang was still in prison, they and their group could only stay in Dayu for the time being, and the return date was uncertain. This time the emperor came to Yinglan Palace to escape the summer heat, so he simply took them with him.
At this time, because of the blowing of the xun, the veil on the face was lifted, and the beautiful facial features were exposed to the air. The blue eyes, beautiful nose, and cherry lips were so perfect that there were almost no flaws. She is confident that most men will be fascinated by this peerless face...
However, when she discovered that Xiao Yi was also in the pavilion, her face suddenly froze.
But soon, she adjusted her mentality and said as if nothing had happened: "I have seen Mr. Hou and Shi..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yi casually interrupted: "Xiao Bai, who is this woman? Could it be..."
Even if Xiao Yi doesn't understand music theory, he can still hear that Chen Yi is expressing his heartfelt feelings in the song "Sauvignon Blanc"!
Xiao Yi supported his head with his hands and leaned on the stone table, looking like he was sitting upright. He said nonchalantly: "Is it possible that you hired a prostitute to entertain you?"
The corner of Xiaosi's mouth curled up slightly, suddenly feeling that Prince Xiao had become a little cuter again.
Zi Yi almost couldn't hold on, his palm-sized face was so stiff that it looked like he was wearing a mask, and in his blue eyes there was not only anger, but also embarrassment and hatred.
Damn it! It’s Xiao Yi again!
He actually compared himself to a prostitute!
Zhui Yi glanced at Guan Yubai quickly, with tenderness in his eyes, but found that the other person was drinking tea leisurely and not looking at him at all.
Does it mean that he has no intention of him? ……Will not!
Cai Yi said to himself firmly in his heart, calmed down, and regained his composure, but his charming voice was a little stiff: "Zhang Yi has met Prince Xiao, and Prince Xiao is really good at joking."
She wanted to talk about this topic as if nothing happened. If she were an ordinary person, she would just go with the flow, but it happened that she met Xiao Yi.
"It turns out she is a saint." Xiao Yi deliberately showed an expression of sudden realization, "The saint is veiled every day, and I really didn't recognize her for a moment."
Of course Zhang Yi knew that Xiao Yi was talking nonsense. He once showed off his appearance at a palace banquet, and his dress was different from that of Miss Dayu. How could Xiao Yi not know his identity! He is clearly humiliating himself!
Bai Yi held back his anger and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are really a noble man who forgets things."
"No wonder." Xiao Yi glanced at the almost distorted face of Chen Yi, shook his head and said, "My prostitute in Dayu has always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Naturally, she will play and sing some lively songs during the wine fight. How could he be so disappointed and play such an unlucky piece of music!"
In an instant, the little face of Zhengyi turned red and he looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief.
He dares! How dare you say that you are not even as good as Dayu's prostitute...
This was the first time in her life that Zhang Yi suffered such a shameful humiliation. She couldn't help but look at Guan Yubai again, hoping that he would reprimand Xiao Yi.
Who knew that Guan Yubai's expression was still light, and his usual light smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
In the past, this innocent smile made Cheng Yi's heart flutter, but now it turned into a sharp arrow and pierced her heart fiercely. He didn't have her in his heart, not only that, he didn't even see her in his eyes!
The latter is even more humiliating than the former.
At this time, Xiao Yi said lazily: "If the saint girl wants to play the piano and play music, I can introduce you to some benefactors. Look, there is someone waiting for the saint girl over there. . As for this, don’t worry about it. It’s really unlucky to listen to this kind of music while drinking.”
As Xiao Yi spoke, he waved his hand lightly, as if he was dismissing the servant.
The hands hidden under the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, staring at the two of them.
She thought that being put in a prison car and brought to the king was the biggest humiliation she had ever experienced in her life, but it was hard to compare with today.
Xiao Yi, she will not forgive him!
And Guan Yubai, she must make him face her existence! She must leave an everlasting mark in his heart, but she doesn't believe that she can't win him over with her own charm!
In the Yueban Pavilion, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were talking and laughing to themselves. Until the boat she was riding in went away, no one bothered to look at her.
In the moonlit night, Chen Yi's sea-blue eyes were terrifyingly dark, just like the undulating sea on a stormy night.
Until they returned to Yanyu Pavilion, which was specially arranged for them and the Baiyue envoys, Zhang Yi's mood was still difficult to calm down.
"Your Highness the Saint." When Adachi saw her coming back, he glanced behind her subconsciously and said with some confusion, "Why are you back so early? Could it be that the news we got is wrong? Isn’t Guan Yubai there?”
Zhang Yi walked in without saying a word.
"Your Highness the Saint?"
Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said, "That Xiao Yi ruined my good deeds."
"Xiao Yi again?"
If you want to ask Baiyue people who they hate the most, there is no doubt that the name "Xiao Yi" will definitely be the first. Not only did he ruin their Baiyue plan and capture His Highness the First Prince, he was also aggressive in this peace negotiation. He was simply a scoundrel!
Zhang Yi bit her red lips and said decisively: "If it wasn't for that Xiao Yi who got in the way, how could I have failed? Xiao Yi..." She slowly let go of her clenched fists, poured herself a glass of water, and took a sip. After drinking it, he finally regained his composure and said, "Last time I went to see His Highness, His Highness said that Xiao Yi was vicious and cunning. With him around, the peace talks with Dayu would be hindered this time. Your Highness asked us to try to get rid of him. Him."
"Getting rid of him is not easy... When we were in southern Xinjiang, we set up ambushes several times, but we only caused him some moderate injuries." Adachi said coldly: "This man's father hates his mother. I'm afraid even his biological father would like to get rid of him and get rid of him quickly. No wonder he has such a violent temper."
"Everyone has weaknesses. Xiao Yi should be no exception..." Bai Yi said thoughtfully, "From what I can see, he and his Crown Princess have a very good relationship. They go in and out together. Very loving."
Ada narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That Princess Yaoguang?"
It has been less than half a year since the Baiyue envoys came to the capital. They came with intentions. Naturally, they also spent time investigating the noble families of the capital. Xiao Yi and his eldest concubine were gifted by the imperial decree. The matter of marriage is not a secret, so I will naturally find out as soon as I inquire about it.
Zhui Yi nodded and said: "Whether Xiao Yi and Princess Yaoguang's love is for the emperor to see, or it is true, this is the only thing we can use for the time being."
"Ha." Adachi sneered, "Your Highness the Saint, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. That Princess Yaoguang has shown your face many times, and you just want to take the opportunity to take revenge. ."
Zhang Yi's face turned pale and he quickly said: "I just..."
"Your Highness the Saint. Please remember the purpose of our coming to Dayu this time. Your life, my face, and our dignity are not important." Atachi looked at her coldly and saw that her face was getting paler. Then he continued, "That's it this time. Now it seems that Princess Yaoguang may be the only breakthrough..."
Zhang Yi took a breath, but his face was still a little ugly.
She is a high-ranking saint in Baiyue. If the eldest prince hadn't thought that she was unfavorable at the Jinxin Conference and simply handed over the peace talks to Ah Da, how could he have allowed him to humiliate her like this!
A Dachi was secretly proud in his heart, but did not reveal anything on his face, and asked: "Can you find out from the third prince of Dayu why the emperor suddenly came here to escape the summer heat?"
Zhang Yi said patiently, "The third prince only said it was because the Queen Mother suffered from heatstroke."
Adachi nodded and said noncommittally: "In short, we can't stop it from the Third Prince. We are weak in Dayu. Although the Third Prince doesn't seem to be favored by the Holy Spirit now, he might be able to help at the critical moment. Let’s give it a try.”
Bai Yi wanted to say that she was not a prostitute who came here to seduce men, but thinking of the eldest prince's order, she could only respond with a dull "yes".
Zhang Yi suddenly remembered something and said: "Speaking of the third prince, his confidante Miss Bai is the cousin of Princess Yaoguang. And the relationship between the two cousins does not seem to be harmonious. , that Miss Bai..." She recalled her several encounters with Bai Muxiao, and said, "She is not a simple person. I have an idea, maybe we can use it..."
……
To Dayu, the Baiyue envoys were just a small barbarian country.
The emperor kept them in Dayu, and the warm hospitality was just to show the demeanor of a great country. No one would pay attention to how they were doing in the palace. The same goes for the emperor. Ever since the Queen Mother was diagnosed as poisoned by Nangong Yue, all his thoughts have been on the Queen Mother.
Guan Yubai once analyzed for him that the three sons who were most likely to poison the Queen Mother were the emperor's heart-broken after hearing this.
The emperor kept in mind what Guan Yubai once told him that the Queen Mother's poison was so secretive that even if a large-scale search was conducted with great fanfare, the truth would probably not be found. It would be better to remain calm and let the poisoner relax his vigilance. Uprooted.
So, in the name of summer vacation, he brought the Queen Mother to the Yinglan Palace, and also brought his three troubled sons with him.
Although the Queen Mother's health has improved recently, the irritability in the Emperor's heart is still difficult to understand.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Zhennan is here."
At this time, a young **** came to report. The emperor nodded, and Nangong Yue was welcomed in.
The queen is also in the study. Ever since Nangong Yue got married, the emperor usually would not see her alone. If it was inconvenient for others to be there, he would specially call the queen over to avoid suspicion.
Nangong Yue greeted the empress. The emperor waved his hand for her to stand up and said, "Girl Yue, come here and see if there is anything wrong with these things." As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Liu immediately praised her personally. A tray came out. On the tray were the candied fruits that the Queen Mother loved to use, the balsam that the Queen Mother used to use, the incense that was burned in the Queen Mother's palace, etc. There were a lot of things on it.
These were all sorted out by the emperor when the Queen Mother was sorting things out in the palace, hoping that Nangong Yue could identify them.
"Yue'er, I'm rude." Nangong Yue stepped forward and took them one by one carefully, looking at the color and smell.
The emperor watched nervously, hoping that she could see the poison, but not hoping that it would be the case... In fact, he hoped that all this was just Nangong Yue's misdiagnosis. His sons were not so bold, and even family ties were sacrificed for the sake of the throne. Don’t read it.
Both the emperor and the empress had complicated moods, and they waited uneasily.
Nangong Yue was holding a box of hair oil in her hand and had been sniffing it for a long time. Then she raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, this is it."
The emperor's heart skipped a beat, "This...is poisonous in it?"
"There is a plant called mohan grass in this oil. This plant is generally non-toxic and has a nice fragrance, but if it is put together with the longevity flower, it will produce a very... A slight toxin. This kind of toxin is harmless at first, but it will be fatal only if it is exposed to it for many years." Nangong Yue paused and said, "Yue'er didn't find the longevity flower in these things, so I can't tell whether this oil is It’s what poisoned the Queen Mother.”
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally said: "So, if there is a longevity flower, it is probably among the things that the Queen Mother has daily access to?"
Nangong Yue nodded and said: "That should be the case. Otherwise, the Mohan grass alone will not be effective."
"I know. I will ask people to look for it again...you should step back first."
Nangong Yue was blessed and retreated. The moment the main door closed, she vaguely heard the emperor instructing Eunuch Liu: "Let Lu Huaining check carefully, where does this oil come from? Who else had it passed through when it was delivered to the Queen Mother's Palace, and the Third Prince..."
Nangong Yue walked forward slowly until the door closed behind her.
After leaving Fushou Pavilion, Nangong Yue saw Xiao Yi waiting for her not far away. Nangong Yue smiled and walked over.
Xiao Yi walked faster than her, strode up to her, and held her hand.
Nangong Yue's eyes were full of smiles, "Ayi, why are you here?"
"I'll take you back."
Xiao Yi's palms were warm, and there were still thin calluses from years of martial arts training in them, which made Nangong Yue feel at ease.
The two walked side by side, talking and laughing, with smiles on their faces.
Lily and Baihui walked knowingly about ten steps away from them.
They came to the bank of Yueban Lake together. Nangong Yue asked Lily to ask the palace maid for some fish food, and sat by the lake with Xiao Yi.
Nangong Yue threw out a handful of fish food and saw many fat koi swimming around, vying for food. Xiao Yi looked at them with a strange look on his face, suddenly smiled and said: "Smelly girl, don't look at how fat these fish are, they are unpalatable."
Koi...eat?
Nangong Yue blinked, having difficulty connecting the two words.
Those who can afford to raise koi are wealthy families, so they shouldn’t be hungry enough to eat them, right?
Xiao Yi pointed at the lake and said: "...especially the golden and meaty ones, which are difficult to eat."
"That's the golden dragon and phoenix koi." Nangong Yue said knowingly, "This kind of fish is very valuable. Such a fish costs thousands of taels of silver, and it's priceless." As she said that, she was a little curious, " Is it really not delicious? Could it be that the cook didn’t cook it well?"
"I lit the fire and roasted it myself." Xiao Yi said cheerfully, "At that time, I had just finished observing my grandfather's filial piety, and I returned to Zhennan Palace. I don't know why I had a quarrel with my second brother. After pushing him down, my father punished me by kneeling in the ancestral hall and starving me for three days and three nights. I was so hungry that I slipped out and stole fish from the lake to eat. This fish is unpalatable!"
Looking back now, when he first quarreled with Xiao Luan, his father didn't actually care. It was Xiao Fang who was always "begging" for him. The more he "begged", the angrier his father became, and finally he was fined. Fortunately, he was naive enough to think that Xiao Fang was a good person. He was simply stupid.
Things that happened in the past have not left any ripples in Xiao Yi’s heart. Now I say this just because...
Nangong Yue rested her head on his shoulder. The two of them were so close that they could clearly feel each other's warm breaths.
Xiao Yi was overjoyed, he knew that the stinky girl would feel sorry for him the most.
Xiao Yi's hand reached out and hugged her waist.
Nangong Yue's body froze. After all, she was in public, and she didn't know if anyone would pass by... She struggled for a long time, but finally did not break away.
Xiao Yi seemed to be encouraged and leaned down to kiss her cheek.
The lips touched the cheek, and the warm touch made Xiao Yi feel nostalgic.
At this time, there was a faint sound. Nangong Yue's face turned red and she quickly pushed him away. Xiao Yi looked annoyed and stared in the direction of the sound.
I saw Lily standing twenty steps away from them with a low eyebrow. It was only then that she walked over and blessed her body and said: "The Crown Princess, it is Miss Yuan and Miss Fu Liu. Come this way." Lily didn't want to come out at this time from the bottom of her heart, but if she didn't come out, it would be too late.
While talking, Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan turned around a path and came over. When they saw Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, they were very happy. The latter waved his hand and said: "Brother Yi, A Yue, you guys Feed the fish here. No wonder we didn’t find you when we went to Jingyuezhai just now. We thought you had gone to the Queen Mother.”
Nangong Yue still had a blush on her face. She had forgotten that she had made an appointment with Fu Yunyan yesterday to go to the Queen Mother to pay her respects. She quickly stood up and pretended to be nonchalant and said: "...you are going to Changqiu Palace now, I I'll go with you."
Xiao Yi looked aggrieved and quietly hooked her little finger.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled. She shook his finger and said softly: "I'll ask the Queen Mother for your blessing and then go back." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and her cute look made Xiao Yi's heart almost melted.
Nangong Yue smiled softly, let go of his hand, and walked towards Fu Yunyan and the others. The three girls walked towards the Changqiu Palace together.
At the same time, at the entrance of Yinglan Palace, a green-covered carriage arrived with dust.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted up from the inside. Bihen was the first to get off the carriage, and then carefully helped Bai Muxiao out of the carriage.
Bai Muxiao was dressed in a simple moon-colored dress. She didn't have too many jewelry on her body, only a few elegant beads adorned her temples.
"Xiao'er!"
Han Lingfu had been waiting there early. As soon as he saw her, he rushed forward eagerly and looked at Bai Muxiao in front of him with burning eyes.
His Xiao'er is still so beautiful and refined, different from those vulgar and pink ones with heavy makeup.
"See Your Highness." Bai Muxiao bowed to Han Lingfu gracefully, and Han Lingfu hurriedly helped her up.
Bai Muxiao raised his eyes and looked at Han Lingfu, looking at his affectionate eyes shining with light like cold stars. These eyes were still the same as before, only looking at himself.
What else can I hope for? Her eyes were as tender as water.
The two looked at each other silently. At this moment, without the need for words, Han Lingfu understood that the little grudge between them had disappeared...
After experiencing setbacks and tribulations again and again, he and his Xiaoer can finally be together openly!
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu felt hot in his heart, and his eyes seemed to be burning.
A faint blush appeared on Bai Muxiao's face, but he did not look away shyly and looked at him calmly, which also attracted another burst of admiration in Han Lingfu's heart: His Xiaoer is indeed different from Those coquettish women!
After a while, Han Lingfu finally made up his mind to break the warm and quiet atmosphere and said: "Xiao'er, you have worked hard all the way. You first come with me to Lanzhuzhai to pack your bags, and then I will take you to Changqiu Palace to meet you. Queen Mother."
Lanzhuzhai is the temporary residence arranged by Han Lingfu for Bai Muxiao in the palace. Although their names have been decided, she has not yet passed through, so it is not convenient for her to live directly in his Linhua Palace.
In fact, logically speaking, Bai Muxiao, an unmarried concubine, does not need to go to greet the Queen Mother, but Han Lingfu hopes that Bai Muxiao can please the Queen Mother, who is the most noble in the harem. Woman, if the Queen Mother likes Bai Muxiao, then whether the Queen or Cui Yanyan wants to embarrass Bai Muxiao, they must consider it.
Han Lingfu took a deep look at Bai Muxiao, full of confidence. His Xiaoer is beautiful, smart, independent...different! Putting aside the jealousy of those women, who wouldn't like her?
After Bai Muxiao hurriedly changed into a set of clothes at Lanzhuzhai, she followed Han Lingfu to Changqiu Palace.
After the palace maid in green clothes entered the palace to report, she soon came to greet Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao.
While waiting outside the palace, Bai Muxiao heard the girl's voice talking and laughing inside, and knew that there must be a young girl accompanying the Queen Mother inside. It wasn't until she entered the Toji Room that she discovered that there were quite a few people inside, and most of them were familiar faces.
The Queen Mother is wearing an apricot-colored Ruyi moiré quilt and is sitting on a rosewood Arhat bed. On the armchairs at the bottom are the three princes Cui Yanyan, Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan. There is also another A girl of eleven or twelve years old, she looked a little unfamiliar but she was somewhat similar to the emperor. Seeing the nine phoenixes embroidered on her peach-colored dress, Bai Muxiao immediately guessed that this little girl must be the third princess.
Bai Muxiao remained calm and lowered her eyes slightly. After Han Lingfu saluted the Queen Mother, she also saluted the Queen Mother respectfully: "See you, the Queen Mother, a thousand years old."
The Queen Mother signaled the two of them to excuse themselves, and then her eyes fell on Bai Muxiao, with a hint of displeasure flashing in her sharp eyes.
Although it was the first time for the Queen Mother to meet Bai Muxiao, it was not the first time that she heard the name of this girl. She knew that she was the third prince's concubine who had not yet married.
After all, we haven’t passed the door yet...
This name was dishonest and unruly, but the third prince personally brought her here to pay his respects.
Even if they really wanted to recognize each other before passing through the door, it would be the third prince’s concubine who would bring this white girl over! He shouldn't be allowed to get past the third prince's concubine.
Thinking about it, the Queen Mother glanced at Han Lingfu indifferently, feeling that he was still young and too young after all, and acted a little excessively. There are no rules, there are no distinctions between concubines and concubines, and even before the concubine enters the house, there are signs of instability in the back house, which is really not a good sign.
Afterwards, Bai Muxiao saluted everyone present according to their status.
Hearing Bai Muxiao call Nangong Yue her cousin, the Queen Mother's eyes softened a little, and she said to Nangong Yue: "Girl Yue, is this Miss Bai your cousin?"
Nangong Yue was about to lean over to reply, but was preempted by Cui Yanyan, the third prince's concubine: "The Queen Mother, that's right." She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, pretending to be affectionate and smiling, "From now on, grandson-in-law and Zhennan They can be considered relatives in the palace." She glanced at Nangong Yue with a half-smile, and when she turned to the Queen Mother, she smiled without any grudge, but she had already made a note of Nangong Yue in her heart. If it weren't for Nangong Yue, how could Bai Muxiao, a daughter of ordinary people, be so lucky to know the third prince and fall into his eyes? !
Nangong Yue naturally saw that there was a knife hidden in the other person's smile, but he didn't take it seriously at all. What does the family affairs of the Third Prince's Mansion have to do with her Zhennan Prince's Mansion? When Bai Muxiao passes the door, you can fight.
————————Digression——————
Well, as Guan Yubai once said, this emperor has a good face, is indecisive, has a soft ear, and is a bit confused in doing things. Although he is not a faint king, he is definitely not a wise king! Therefore, in terms of his attitude towards the Baiyue envoys and the clothes, it is really not the author's random writing... Please do not use the standards of a wise king to consider some of the stupid things he did.
