The emperor fell into deep thought.
The Prince of Zhennan has been operating in Southern Xinjiang for decades. Although it is still a wealthy country, the emperor believes that if he randomly sends someone there, he will never be able to control the military power in Southern Xinjiang, and may even arouse the fear of Prince Zhennan. , if the King of Zhennan once rebels and colludes with Baiyue, he will be in great danger.
There is only one person who can legitimately take charge of southern Xinjiang in place of King Zhennan - the crown prince Xiao Yi.
The emperor spoke slowly, "Xiao Yi?"
Guan Yubai said calmly: "What the emperor said is true."
The emperor lowered his eyes slightly and tapped the imperial case thoughtfully with his index finger. After a while, he said: "But, I am a little worried..."
Guan Yubai smiled lightly and said: "Then Your Majesty, are you also worried about King Zhennan?... I understand your concerns. However, King Zhennan has been at odds with Xiao Shizi and his son for a long time. As the saying goes, a mountain It is difficult to tolerate two tigers. Only by restraining each other can the stability of Southern Xinjiang be maintained. But now, Prince Xiao is in the royal capital, and King Zhennan is the only one in Southern Xinjiang. Your Majesty, you are beyond your reach, which is the most disadvantageous to Dayu. ”
"Yu Bai makes sense." The emperor nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe it's time for A Yi to return to southern Xinjiang..."
The emperor kept Xiao Yi in the royal capital as a hostage, perhaps at first to make King Zhennan afraid, but as time went by, he also discovered that King Zhennan didn't care about his son, so he used it as a hostage. It actually doesn't mean much anymore. Comparatively speaking, it is more important for Xiao Yi to get close to him and Dayu, so that when he inherits the Zhennan Palace in the future, he will not be separated from Dayu.
This goal has actually been achieved.
Maybe it’s time to let Xiao Yi go back...
The emperor said hesitantly: "It's just his imperial concubine..."
Should Nangong Yue stay in the royal capital, or should she follow him back to southern Xinjiang?
"Your Majesty. Once Xiao Shizi returns to southern Xinjiang this time, he will probably not be able to come back in a year and a half like last time. Xiao Shizi and his concubine have a deep love. If the two places are separated, I am afraid that he will be in southern Xinjiang. I won’t be able to stay in Xinjiang for a long time. Doesn’t this go against your will?”
The emperor was thoughtful.
"The Crown Princess was born in the Nangong family, and her parents and relatives are all in the royal capital. For Prince Xiao and the Crown Prince, this is a concern." Guan Yubai said lightly, "To take a step back, if the Crown Princess is If Prince Xiao really stays in the capital, after Prince Xiao returns to southern Xinjiang, King Zhennan will find him a concubine because he has no one to serve him. I'm afraid you, the emperor, have no reason to stop him. In this case, There’s probably no point in leaving the Crown Princess alone in the capital.”
Yes. The emperor nodded,
Not only that, the emperor also wanted to think more. If Xiao Yi really took the concubine directly after returning and had children, as time goes by, the deepest relationship between husband and wife will be forgotten, and he will be a bad person in vain.
Now, the entire Nangong family is in the royal capital. Even if Nangong Yue goes back with Xiao Yi, this relationship cannot be given up casually. On the contrary, with Nangong Yue here, the Nangong family will become Xiao Yi's concern is a kind of containment in itself...
It would be a mistake to talk too much. Guanyu Bai stood with his hands tied and didn't say anything more.
The emperor remained silent for a long time and waved his hand before Guan Yubai retreated.
The imperial study became quiet again, and the emperor stayed alone for a long time...
Eunuch Liu who was standing by was a little worried. After he hesitated several times, the emperor finally stood up and said, "Come with me for a walk."
Eunuch Liu accompanied the emperor out of the imperial study. In fact, the emperor just wanted to relax and sort out his troubled thoughts. He walked aimlessly around the imperial garden and arrived at the upper study without knowing it.
The third prince was trapped in the palace, and the fifth prince was taught by a learned man alone. Therefore, there were only the eldest prince, the second prince and some clan members in the study room. The two princes are old and only need to come to the study every three days.
The emperor looked outside for a while, then went in with a thought.
Everyone saluted and said hello, and the emperor called the two princes over after saying a few words casually.
The eldest prince Han Lingqi and the second prince Han Lingguan respectfully stepped forward and bowed their heads.
"Boss, Second Brother, what do you think of the recent events in Baiyue?" The emperor looked at the two princes and asked in a deep voice, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face.
Han Lingguan knew that the emperor was testing them, and this was his chance.
Han Lingguan glanced at his brother quickly and saw that he was sweating profusely and unable to reply at all.
The eldest prince is nothing but a fool and is nothing to be afraid of!
Han Ling collected his thoughts, took half a step forward, bowed and replied: "Back to my father, in my opinion, Dayu should support Kuilang to compete with the new king Nuhar." Seeing the emperor showing satisfaction. , Han Lingguan continued, "I thought that I could marry Kuilang to show Dayu's closeness to him, and also to let the uncertain forces in Baiyue know what Dayu's heart is."
The emperor was indeed testing them.
He had already chosen the fifth prince as his crown prince, but the crown prince would also need the support of a wise king in the future, so the emperor wanted to use the Baiyue incident to test them.
What Han Lingguan said was that the former was in line with the emperor's thoughts and was consistent with Guan Yubai's suggestions, which made the emperor quite satisfied with his son.
Just a marriage... something the emperor didn't expect.
"Father." Han Ling observed Yan Guan's expression and continued, "Since I, Dayu, have supported Kuilang, Kuilang will be the King of Baiyue in the future. I think we should ensure that the next King of Baiyue has My Dayu’s bloodline, in this way, I, Dayu, can truly control Baiyue.”
The emperor nodded slightly in thought, and then asked: "Second brother, who do you think is the best choice for family?"
Han Lingguan lowered his head, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he replied respectfully: "Back to my father, the eldest daughter of Zhennan Palace is in the capital, and I think it is best to marry her."
The emperor was thoughtful: "The eldest girl from Zhennan Palace..."
After pondering for a long time, he said: "I still need to think about this matter again." After saying that, he looked at the eldest prince, "Boss, do you have any ideas?"
Han Lingqi was secretly happy that his father did not agree with the second emperor's brother's idea. Unexpectedly, the question suddenly came to him, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while. If he agreed to the marriage, he would not be able to show his ability at all with Zhuyu, the younger brother of the second emperor, in front of him. But if he objected... I don't know what his father's opinion was. If he answered wrongly, would he offend his father?
The more the eldest prince hesitated, the more speechless he became, and his face turned red with anxiety.
The emperor naturally saw his entanglement in his eyes and was extremely disappointed. The eldest prince can't even express his own opinions, so how can he be used!
On the other hand, the Second Emperor is indeed a malleable person, and may be able to assist Xiao Wu in the future.
The emperor waved them off, stood up and walked out of the study room, thinking about the feasibility of a "marriage" in his mind.
The eldest prince was secretly relieved when he saw that the emperor did not reprimand him.
As for Han Lingguan, he believed that the emperor would definitely agree to the marriage, but it would never be done at Zhennan Palace.
In front of his father, he must perform well, but he is at a time when his glory is obscure, and being too outstanding is not beautiful. This slightly flawed advice is just right.
Moreover, once the marriage is publicized, the eldest girls in Zhennan Palace will be eager to make a marriage arrangement to avoid getting married. In this case...
Han Lingguan almost couldn't wait.
That evening, Zhennan Palace received an uninvited guest, it was Fu Yunyan.
As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan got straight to the point and said in a low voice: "A Yue, I heard a news... about A Fei."
Seeing Fu Yunyan's anxious expression, Nangong Yue did not dare to be rude, and quickly asked the maids to retreat, and asked cautiously: "Liu Niang, what is going on?"
Fu Yunyan collected his thoughts and frowned: "Ah Yue, don't panic after hearing this. I just heard what my cousin Yu said today. You also know that cousin Yu is working in the Lifan Academy. Today In the afternoon, I heard the Nanman envoys whispering secretly that the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace was about to get married to their eldest prince Kui Lang, and they could still have a wedding drink in Dayu..."
Nangong Yue's heart trembled. There was no smoke without fire. If there was no reason, those Baiyue envoys would not dare to make it up out of thin air.
Did the emperor really mean this?
"Ah Yue, I don't know whether this is true or not. Anyway, you and Ah Fei should be careful." Fu Yunyan said worriedly. After all, this is not the first time that Dayu has made peace with a barbarian. With the precedent of Qu Jiayue and Xi Rong, it always makes people a little uneasy.
"Liu Niang, I understand, thank you very much." Nangong Yue nodded, feeling a little confused for a while.
"Then I'll go back first." Fu Yunyan stood up hurriedly and said, "In a few days, it will be my hair extension ceremony. If I don't go back, my mother will whisper about me again."
Fu Yunyan hurriedly left again, leaving Nangong Yue alone in the study room, thinking quietly.
When it was time to hold the lantern, Xiao Yi returned to Fufengyuan, and Nangong Yue immediately told him about Fu Yunyan's visit.
"You said Wen Yu told Liu Niang about this?" Xiao Yi sat upright with his legs crossed, extremely lazy.
Nangong Yue nodded and said, "I thought about it for a long time this afternoon...Mr. Wen, did you specifically remind us through Liu Niang's words?"
Wen Yu accidentally heard that the emperor wanted Xiao Fei to get married. Since he was a foreigner, it was not convenient for him to visit, so he pretended that he had not mentioned it and asked Liu Niang to give them a heads up. This can be said to be out of good intentions. But maybe Wen Yu has been overly deliberately trying to please Xiao Fei these days, which made Nangong Yue a little preconceived, and she always felt that Wen Yu was not as simple as pure good intentions this time.
Xiao Yi thought for a while and suddenly asked: "What will you do if that girl Xiao Fei is really going to be sent away for marriage?"
Nangong Yue said without hesitation: "Stop it."
“What can’t be stopped?”
"Then the only way is to quickly make a reliable marriage, which is better than marrying Kui Lang..." Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Is this the reason for Mr. Wen?"
If you think about it carefully, if Xiao Fei is really in danger of getting married and they are unable to stop it, then it is undoubtedly the safest way to make a marriage arrangement before the emperor issues the decree. Putting aside the slight doubts in Nangong Yue's heart, Princess Yongyang knew everything about her house and was the best candidate for the marriage.
Is this the reason for Wen Yu?
Nangong Yue frowned slightly. She had just felt that Wen Yu acted inappropriately in the past. If Wen Yu really had such thoughts to remind them this time, it would mean that he was not acting inappropriately, but was doing something for them. The personnel department is too calculating.
Xiao Fei has a simple mind, and Nangong Yue becomes more and more certain that Wen Yu is definitely not a good match!
"Bad girl, actually you don't have to worry." Xiao Yi said casually, "No matter who gets married, it won't be Xiao Fei's turn. Xiao Fei is the eldest daughter of Zhennan Palace after all, so she will be used to marry her. , The Emperor may be worried that our Zhennan Palace will one day be connected with Baiyue due to marriage ties. This is definitely not a good thing for the Emperor and Dayu."
Xiao Yi was obviously more far-sighted than himself when it came to matters in the court. Nangong Yue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
As long as Xiao Fei doesn’t get married!
"Speaking of Wen Yu... smelly girl, do you still remember the Mr. Yi you mentioned last time?"
Nangong Yue nodded.
Xiao Yi touched his chin and said casually: "Later, I ordered someone to check. His name is Yi Jiangxiu. He is a civil servant. He rented a second-level courtyard in Guoer Hutong to study. However, he is already better. I haven't been back for a while..." He had almost forgotten about this matter, "I asked Xiao Hezi... Before grandmother Yongyang recognized her relatives, she sent someone to check carefully. Wen Yu's There is no problem with the origin."
Nangong Yue nodded when she heard this. If she hadn't found out clearly, how could she have recognized her grandson casually in a dignified princess's house and the eldest princess Yongyang was such a woman.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue sighed slightly and said: "... Mr. Wen may be just too eager for success. Maybe he needs to find an opportunity to talk to Grandma Yongyang. ... I hope I think too much, Use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."
Xiao Yi is not happy!
How can his stinky girl be a villain? If he wants a villain, he should be Wen Yu!
Xiao Yi has decided that he will continue to investigate. Even if he digs out all eight generations of Wen Yu's father's family, he still has to prove that his stinky girl is a gentleman!
……
On February 28, the emperor stated in court that he would grant Kui Lang a marriage, and would select the legitimate daughter of an official of the third rank or above in the court as a princess, and marry Kui Lang as the Queen of Baiyue. Later, Princess Yuncheng was summoned into the palace and hurried back home with an angry look on her face.
Everyone in the mansions of officials of third rank or above in the DPRK is in danger.
This gift of marriage is said to be the "Queen of Baiyue", but firstly, Kuilang had a legitimate wife and legitimate son in Baiyue. Secondly, now the new king of Baiyue is Nuhar, and Kuilang himself is If Dayu is just a hostage, what future will he have if he marries him?
After several days of deliberation at court, Marquis Pingyang proposed that the eldest daughter of Zhennan Palace should be the one to show off. As soon as this statement came out, it was echoed by many. On the same day, the emperor summoned Marquis An Yi to discuss the matter, but no further news came out.
Both the government and the public could not help but speculate on the holy will.
The whole of February passed in a state of chaos, and March arrived in the blink of an eye.
The fifth day of the third lunar month is Fu Yunyan’s haircut ceremony.
As early as February, Mrs. Fu came to her door in person to ask her to be the appraiser for the hairpin ceremony.
Generally speaking, the praisers are usually the sisters of people with hairpins. Fu Yunyan has both biological sisters and cousins. In this case, Mrs. Fu invited Nangong Yue, which shows the close relationship between the two families. .
Nangong Yue naturally agreed happily to this.
On such an important day for Fu Yunyan and Hairpin, neither Princess Yongyang nor Mrs. Fu would neglect it. Early in the morning, when Nangong Yue's carriage arrived in front of Princess Yongyang's mansion, she found that several luxurious carriages and black carriages with flat roofs had stopped at the door.
Que'er raised the curtain at the window and took a look, and said: "Prince Princess, it seems that everyone wanted to go together and came early."
The people who came to attend Fu Yunyan's hairpin ceremony were basically from people who were close to him. It was no wonder that they came early. In addition, the guests all came with gifts, and the brocade boxes were covered one by one. He was brought into the princess's mansion, which made the carriage move even slower...
It was already a stick of incense later when Nangong Yue's Zhulun chariot drove into the princess mansion.
Madam Fu personally greeted the guests at the second gate. When Nangong Yue got off the Zhu Lun Chai, she saw Madam Fu talking to Yuncheng, Yuan Yuyi and her daughter.
Nangong Yue hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Today, the Princess Mansion was packed with guests. Madam Fu was very busy and could only exchange a few words with them. Soon, a stewardess greeted Nangong Yue and the others to the main hall.
In the main hall, the female family members of the princess palace and some of the ladies and girls who came to watch the ceremony were already sitting there chatting and laughing. Yongyang was sitting on the grand master's chair. She usually dressed simply, but today she was also dressed very grandly. Her honey-colored outfit and golden trousers all over her body made her look radiant, as if she were several years younger.
Fu Yunyan, the hairdresser of Ji Li, was talking to a lady. She was wearing an improved fiery red Hufu, and the fitted skirt made her tall and slender. She was a martial arts practitioner, and just standing there so casually exuded a spirit that was different from the other girls around her, as dazzling as the rising sun.
As soon as he saw Nangong Yue and his entourage coming in, Fu Yunyan immediately looked at them with warm eyes and came over to salute.
Others also came forward to greet Yuncheng...it took a while before the greetings were finally finished.
Fu Yunyan looked at Yun Cheng, Yuan Yuyi and Nangong Yue calmly and said with a smile: "Aunt, Cousin Yi, Ayue, I will trouble you today. I will treat you to a drink another day."
When she said the first half of the sentence, Mrs. Fu nodded slightly, feeling that her daughter was sensible, but the second half of the sentence instantly made Mrs. Fu's face darken.
In addition to Nangong Yue in charge of the hairpin ceremony and the admirers of the hairpin ceremony, today’s guests of honor are Princess Yuncheng, and Yuan Yuyi is Yuan Yuyi. The three of them can be said to be the most important people in this hairpin ceremony besides Fu Yunyan. . No wonder Fu Yunyan said this.
"Liu Niang," Yun Cheng held Fu Yunyan's hand with a smile and teased, "I am waiting for your wedding wine!"
All the female relatives in the main hall couldn't help but laugh, and the originally somewhat reserved atmosphere became warmer.
After a while, a grandma came over to remind me that the auspicious time had arrived.
Everyone took their seats. Yuan Yuyi held a rosewood tray covered with a red velvet square scarf. In the middle lay a red gold phoenix inlaid with rubies and dongzhu. Then, Nangong Yue assisted Yuncheng and personally inserted the walking stick into Fu Yunyan's hair.
This is the end of the ceremony.
Fu Yunyan tilted his head unaccustomedly, and saw that the steps were extremely delicate. The red-eyed golden phoenix held the east pearl, hanging down the silk bead chain. The phoenix tail was agile and lifelike. When Fu Yunyan moved a little, the golden pearl The chain tassels hung on her jade cheeks, making her look even more charming as a daughter.
Mrs. Fu watched from the side, tears flashing in her eyes. Sometimes I think my daughter is ignorant, but sometimes I think my daughter is growing up too fast... Time flies, and even Liu Niang is getting married!
Next, everyone moved to the flower hall.
Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia walked behind hand in hand, with smiles in their eyes. Looking at Fu Yunyan walking in front of Yongyang, her whole body seemed to be shining, like a blooming flower. Begonia flower.
Nangong Yue sighed: "Liu Niang is so glorious today!"
Yuan Yuyi nodded and asked: "Ah Yue, when is the marriage between Liu Niang and your brother set?"
Nangong Yue was stunned. Thinking of her brother's marriage, she smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, "August 22."
When talking about marriage, Han Qixia's face showed obvious sadness.
Nangong Yue noticed it keenly and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Xia, are you worried?"
As far as she knew, Princess Qi was only concerned about her son's marriage and completely forgot about the fact that her daughter was about to get her haircut. The last time she heard Jiang Yixi mention it, she was a little sad.
Han Qixia twitched the corners of her lips, her smile was a little forced, and she said as if unintentionally: "I was just thinking about who would marry the prince of Baiyue... I heard that most of them would choose a girl from the clan."
Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi looked at each other. Han Qixia is the daughter of the clan. Is she afraid that she will be singled out?
