The Favoured Medical Princess: 512 containment

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

Nangong Yue knew that Mr. Fang must have figured it out, so she smiled slightly and added: "...Actually, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the prince to take in another girl from the Fang family. As the saying goes, 'the way of the emperor is checks and balances' It's a technique'. In fact, the same is true for the back house."

The fourth member of the Fang family married a girl to the King of Zhennan, so the little Fang family was "useless" to the Fang family. Xiao Fang could not care about the other concubines of King Zhennan, but she had to care about the girl from the Fang family. After all, her current status was taken from that girl from the Fang family. Although the little Fang family is not favored, she still has the status of a legitimate wife. It will be difficult for the new girl from the Fang family to overpower her for a while. In the end, there will inevitably be a situation of mutual restraint...

In this way, Nangong Yue has no worries that Xiao Fang will regain the favor of King Zhennan in a short period of time. If her grandfather's health allowed, she might really be able to go to Yanding City...

Nangong Yue felt a glimmer of expectation in her heart, and a blush appeared on her face.

She smiled slightly, looked at Mr. Fang without blinking, and said: "Grandpa, Ayi and I brought you to Luoyue City to help you recuperate and help you live a long life. How do you like it? Just live your life how you want. Those people you don’t want to see, just don’t see them. Don’t force yourself for me, Ayi, and the Fang family!"

Nangong Yue's words came from the heart. Mr. Fang lay on the bed for more than ten years, spending the most painful days without any dignity. Nangong Yue thought about it and felt heartbroken for the old man.

Now that he has finally survived that disaster and saved his life, for both Xiao Yi and himself, being alive is already a great blessing. Why bother to force it because of some external nothingness? You live so hard!

According to her opinion, Mr. Fang should live a more flamboyant and wanton life than a young man now!

Mr. Fang stared at Nangong Yue blankly for a while, a mist rising in his turbid eyes.

He turned his head away and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, I suddenly feel hungry. How about you accompany me to eat some food?"

Nangong Yue also smiled and nodded in agreement, and then Baihui immediately went to order the maids in Tingyu Pavilion to prepare the meal. The maids secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to themselves: The imperial concubine took action and indeed defeated the old master in one fell swoop.

Nangong Yue drank some soup and ate some fruits with Old Mrs. Fang, then pushed the old man for a walk to eat, and then returned to his yard.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the courtyard, Huamei quickly came up and said: "Prince Concubine, the eldest lady is here, and she is in the Dongci room now." After a pause, Huamei added, "Slave I originally wanted to listen to Yuge's report to the Crown Princess, but the eldest girl said that she had nothing to do and would just wait for you here... But the slave looked at it and it seemed that the eldest girl had something on her mind."

Nangong Yue nodded and followed Huamei to the East Room.

Wearing a light green trousers with precious flowers and silver threads, Xiao Fei was sitting on an armchair by the window, reading a book in her hand, but the focus of her eyes was not on it. I didn’t fall into the book, and I don’t know what I was thinking about.

"Sister Fei..."

Nangong Yue called out softly, and Xiao Fei suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly put down the book in her hand as if waking up from a dream, stood up, and said: "Sister-in-law."

Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei's hand and sat down side by side. The maid served tea and fruit snacks to both masters.

"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue said with a smile, "didn't you say you would go to the piano store to look at the piano in the afternoon? Are you satisfied with that piano?" Xiao Fei heard that the owner of the piano store got a new famous piano in the morning, and she immediately became patient. I couldn't stand it anymore, and after lunch I hurried out of the house to see Qin.

Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the piano, with a hint of shyness on her face, and said: "I didn't see the piano..." She hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "Sister-in-law, I happened to hear someone talking about Miss Zhou in the piano store."

Xiao Fei's eyes darkened, remembering the disdainful tone of those girls in the piano store, saying that Zhou Roujia shamelessly threw herself into the arms of Young Master Xiao, and even other girls from her family came to answer the question. Everyone was frothing at the mouth as they spoke, as if they were there to see it with their own eyes.

It was only a few days before my father's birthday banquet, and the incident between the second brother and Miss Zhou had spread a lot. It is estimated that many mansions in Luo Yuecheng already knew about it!

A woman’s name is like a piece of white paper. Once stained with ink, there is no possibility of cleaning it off...

Xiao Fei clenched the book in her hand, feeling a little complicated for a moment, feeling sympathy and pity.

"Sister-in-law," she couldn't help but ask Nangong Yue in a low voice, "Miss Zhou... what will happen to her?"

Xiao Fei’s question is actually not complete. The complete answer should be——

What would have happened to Miss Zhou if she had not married her second brother?

Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea without saying anything. If this marriage fails, I am afraid that there are only four choices waiting for Miss Zhou. Either she will enter the palace as a concubine, or she will be the companion of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha from now on, or she will have a piece of white silk and a glass of poisonous wine, or she will stay away from home. If Difa gets married, don’t even think about returning to Luoyue City again in this life...

For a girl in her prime, every ending is so cruel!

At this time, Que'er, who was dressed in a lake-blue mandarin jacket, came in from the outside. He knelt down and saluted: "Prince Concubine, regarding the matter of Miss Zhou, I have already contacted the servants of General Dingyuan's Mansion, as well as the Zhou Mansion. I checked into my relative’s house..."

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. After Zhennan King’s birthday party, she ordered Que’er to inquire about the situation of the Zhou family and Miss Zhou’s daily temperament, behavior, preferences, etc. She didn’t expect Que’er to be so quick. There is news, this girl is getting more and more efficient in her work.

Nangong Yue said in a deep voice: "Come and tell me and the eldest lady."

Que'er collected his thoughts and talked about the affairs of Zhou Mansion in an orderly manner.

The deceased Mr. Zhou was a striker under the old prince and had two sons with his wife. Sixteen years ago, when the old prince put down the Baiyue Rebellion, Mr. Zhou and his eldest son went to the battlefield together. The eldest son of Zhou made great achievements by killing Baiyue General, but he died of his injuries in the end.

After that battle, the old prince asked Zhou's eldest son to be granted the title of General Dingyuan of the fourth rank, and he was succeeded by his second son, who could be favored for three generations.

Due to the early death of his eldest son, Mr. Zhou mourned that he had no heirs and offered incense to him, so he ordered his second son to marry the widow of his deceased brother, the orphan Wang from his subordinates, as his eldest wife.

"...Wang was not favored after marrying General Zhou. I heard that General Zhou only entered the Changfang courtyard a handful of times. In addition, the Changfang had no children, so her status in the Zhou family was very delicate. Now The head of the Zhou Mansion is the second wife, Mrs. Lu."

Nangong Yue still knew a thing or two about these things. She nodded and signaled Que'er to continue.

"The eldest daughter, Mrs. Wang, lives in seclusion on weekdays. She only leaves home on the first and fifteenth day of every month to go to the Buddhist Temple to offer incense and eat food. On weekdays, Miss Zhou often accompanies Mr. Wang to copy Buddhist scriptures and bring them to worship. , It is said that Miss Zhou has an excellent hand in regular script, which she learned by copying Buddhist scriptures."

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

A girl of this age is interested in copying Buddhist scriptures? Is Zhou Roujia here to accompany her mother, or is she really addicted to this? It's not that Le Zhong was inappropriate in copying Buddhist scriptures, but that Xiao Luan had a wild temper. If Zhou Roujia was too dull, they might not get along.

Nangong Yue thought: "Can Miss Zhou know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows?"

"It seems not possible." Que'er replied, "Miss Zhou rarely leaves the house, and no one has ever seen her riding a horse."

The girl from Jiangmen does not know how to ride, and she and Xiao Luan no longer share the same hobbies... Nangong Yue has a headache, she does not want to bring together a pair of enemies.

Furthermore, judging from the situation of the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou must have a soft personality, otherwise she and her daughter would not have reached the point where they are retreating again and again. Miss Zhou is Under his mother's upbringing, he must have a good temper, but in Xiao Luan's yard... that is not something that a soft-tempered person can control.

If things go wrong and Xiao Luan's family is weak and the common people are strong, then it will be like the third family of the Fang family without any rules and regulations.

This marriage may not be appropriate.

Nangong Yue was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "What was the attitude of the Zhou family after the birthday banquet that day?"

"... The servants of the Zhou Mansion are all rumoring that after Miss Zhou returned from our palace, she slapped Miss Zhou." Que'er paused and then said, "After that, General Zhou slapped Zhou The eldest girl was called to ask the reason, but the eldest girl Zhou only said that the **** Tuesday soiled her dress during the birthday banquet, which made her lose face. In the end, the eldest girl Zhou was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days." At this point. , Que'er couldn't help but look puzzled, wondering why Zhou Roujia didn't complain to General Zhou.

Nangong Yue smiled. She put down the tea cup in her hand, thought about it and said, "Let's do this... I have heard that Miss Zhou has extraordinary piano skills. I got a new piano score. Que'er, please write it for me." I sent a post to Miss Zhou, asking her to come to the house to give me a review in three days." Last time at King Zhennan's birthday banquet, she only said a few words to Zhou Roujia, and expressed her gratitude to Miss Zhou. I don’t know much, but it’s better to meet again...

"Yes, Crown Princess." Que'er bowed her knees and responded.

"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Fei was thoughtful at the side, hesitantly hesitating to speak.

Perhaps she didn't know what husband and wife were like in the past, but since she saw her eldest brother and sister-in-law getting along, Xiao Fei felt that a so-called husband and wife should be congenial, understand each other, tolerate each other, and support each other just like the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The second brothers Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia are very different in every aspect. If they get married because of the accident at their father's birthday party, will they hate each other in the future? But if he didn't do anything, then Zhou Roujia...

Thousands of thoughts in Xiao Fei's heart finally turned into a helpless sigh, and she could only ask Zhou Roujia to come over first before making any plans. Xiao Fei suddenly remembered that when she went out to the piano store, she happened to meet her second brother who was also leaving the house. Judging from his sneaky appearance, he must have gone out to play without telling his father... Even though he is such an old man, he still has no intention. Lungless!

Thinking about it, Xiao Fei frowned.

Quie'er quickly retreated, and that same day, a red and gold-gilded post was sent from Bixiao Hall to General Dingyuan's Mansion...

As soon as this post was sent, Xiao Hui flapped its wings and came back. Before the maids could tell Nangong Yue, it had already roared and swooped into Nangong Yue's yard, and then stopped on the window sill. Looking at Nangong Yue in the room without blinking.

"Xiao Hui!" Nangong Yue stood up in surprise, walked towards the window, and couldn't help scolding, "You bad boy, you finally know how to go home!" Ever since Xiao Hui went out with Guan Yubai, After the trip, he became more and more wild. He chased Guan Yubai and the others every day, and the time he went out was getting longer and longer. This time, he didn't come back for more than two days...

Nangong Yue counted the days and estimated that Guan Yubai would arrive in Yanding City. Xiao Yi left Xiao Hui behind, so he was not too worried.

Xiao Hui cried out, seeming to be defending himself.

The thrush on the side noticed with sharp eyes a small bamboo tube tied to Xiao Hui's right paw, and said hurriedly: "Prince Princess, look..."

Nangong Yue's eyes also fell on Xiao Hui's paws. This kind of small bamboo tube is usually tied to the legs of homing pigeons. The key is that the style of this small bamboo tube is too familiar to Nangong Yue.

"It's A Yi's letter!"

Nangong Yue's eyes lit up, and she quickly untied the small bamboo tube from Xiao Hui's claws.

She opened the small bamboo tube and took out the silk paper folded into long strips.

The maids in the room secretly exchanged glances, some of them couldn't help laughing: The prince is still so unexpected, he actually used an eagle as a homing pigeon!

For a while, the maids looked at Xiao Hui a little strangely. In the past, they clearly felt that there was a hint of ferocity unique to birds of prey in Xiao Hui's proud golden eyes, which made them dare not get too close, but today But I feel that Xiao Hui looks like a large pigeon, and looks much cuter and more approachable.

Nangong Yue had a smile on her face. She unfolded the tissue paper anxiously and looked down quickly.

Xiao Yi expressed his longing for her in hundreds of words at the beginning of the letter, and mentioned that Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia were in Yanding City. Then he changed his tone and stated categorically that he did not spoil Xiao Hui. It was only because of his careful teaching that Xiao Hui could achieve great success. Then he boasted about how Xiao Hui successfully caught the enemy with one blow. I arrived at a carrier pigeon and intercepted a secret letter from Nanliang...

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Xiao Hui who was parked on the window sill, raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing: It turns out that such a thing happened on the day Xiao Hui brought back the white bamboo tube. , which is quite a coincidence.

She also knows that Xiao Hui likes to tease the homing pigeons at home very much recently, so that every time the homing pigeons fly back home, they are all jumping up and down. Unexpectedly, this "hobby" of Xiao Hui's "hobby" turns out to be a coincidence. Such a "military merit" was achieved. This time, A Yi felt proud for a while!

The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth turned up higher and higher, and she continued to look down. Xiao Yi had written two full pieces of paper. Nangong Yue read very quickly at first, and then gradually, slower and slower, almost reluctantly. , it took me a full cup of tea to finish reading the two letters.

Nangong Yue read it carefully twice more, and then ordered Huamei to light a candle and light the corner of the first piece of letter paper...

Huamei looked at the letter paper burning into ashes bit by bit, and vaguely guessed that the prince's letter this time might contain military information.

Nangong Yue had a deep look in her eyes, and she carefully put another piece of letter paper into the box, locked it, and ordered the maids to get some raw venison as a reward for Xiao Hui.

After feeding Xiao Hui and sending it to play on its own, Baihui and Ying'er came into the house. Baihui held a phoenix in her arms, while Ying'er held several packets of oil paper wrapped in it. of snacks, the sweet smell of the snacks faintly wafted out through the oil paper.

Nangong Yue looked at the two of them. After Baihui knelt down and saluted, he placed the Phoenix Tail Qin on the piano table beside him and said, "Prince Concubine, the Bai's shop happens to be near the piano store. I remember their house. The sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake and rose cake were very good, so I bought some and they were freshly baked and still warm."

The incident with Zhou Roujia had affected Xiao Fei's mood, and she felt a little unhappy until she left. Nangong Yue thought about the piano Xiao Fei mentioned, so she simply asked Baihui to buy it.

Nangong Yue is also a person who understands the piano, and she can tell it is a good piano at a glance. She calmly sat down in front of the piano case, plucked the strings with interest, and tried the sound.

The sound of the piano is clear, smart and elegant, like a slowly flowing stream...

This phoenix-tailed harp is indeed top-grade, and I’m sure Sister Fei will like it!

The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth were slightly raised, and she looked at the piano in front of her with a smile. Her hands were also itchy. Why not go to the small garden with Sister Fei tonight, play the piano to the moon, and let Baihui perform a sword dance? ...Moon, piano, sword dance, beauty, well, they are suitable for painting!

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue glanced at Baihui quickly. Baihui inexplicably felt that her master's eyes were a little strange, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

A heartbeat is worse than an action. Nangong Yue immediately stood up and said, "Let's go to Yuebiju."

She put on a gauze gown outside and put on her makeup. Then she ordered Que'er to send some snacks to Tingyu Pavilion, while she took Baihui and Qin with her and planned to cross the small garden to the palace.

In the past few days, chrysanthemums and camellias of all colors have been blooming, colorful, and the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance. When the wind blows, it blows in your face and lingers in your nose.

From a distance, Nangong Yue saw several little maids hiding by the rockery, whispering to each other, not knowing what they were saying.

Bai Hui frowned and thought to herself: These girls are becoming more and more unruly. They even hid in the small garden to avoid laziness. How unbecoming!

One of the little maids happened to glance over here, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly patted the other little maid next to her. Soon, the little maids all looked at Nangong Yue and Bai Hui. They all turned pale and fell to their knees in fear.

Baihui got Nangong Yue's signal, scolded them for a few words, and ordered them to leave.

Just as she was about to look away, she caught something out of the corner of her eye. She quickly looked around and saw a man and a woman talking in a pavilion not far from the rockery. Could it be that those little maids just now were still watching? Isn’t it exciting? !

Nangong Yue also saw it, narrowed her eyes slightly, and motioned for the two maids to follow her.

The three of them walked quickly towards the octagonal pavilion.

The pavilion is built beside a small lake. Under the sun, the lake water is rippling, the waves are moving, and it emits a dazzling light. In the pavilion, the boy was wearing a purple brocade robe with cloud patterns, and the girl was wearing a goose-yellow trousers with green calyx and plum blossoms. Both of them were handsome and looked as beautiful as a picture scroll.

But Nangong Yue frowned slightly, why are they two here?

The young man was dressed brightly, but he looked extremely embarrassed. He was sweating and stammered: "Sister...that..."

The pretty girl had a straight face and said righteously: "Second brother, you are already fifteen years old, why are you still so careless and heartless in doing things... This matter is now The whole city has made it known that Miss Zhou’s reputation has been damaged. What are you going to do?..."

Xiao Fei was talking eloquently, while Xiao Luan in front of her was crestfallen, with an earthy face, like a child who had been taught a lesson by his elders... Suddenly, he saw Nangong Yue walking towards them not far away, her eyes As soon as the light came on, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly called out: "Sister-in-law!" I breathed a sigh of relief. My sister-in-law is here. My sister must be embarrassed to continue to lecture him. Moreover, with her temperament, she must Will you say a few nice words to him?

Xiao Fei originally had her back to Nangong Yue, but when Xiao Luan called her, she turned around.

"Sister-in-law." She then saw the phoenix tail harp in Baihui's arms and thought of something. Could it be...

Nangong Yue strolled into the pavilion and said, "Sister Fei, I was going to Yuebiju to find you, but I didn't expect to see you here."

Xiao Luan felt happy and wanted to take the opportunity to leave: "Sister-in-law, since you have something to do with your sister, I will leave first."

While speaking, he quickly walked around Xiao Fei, suddenly stopped and said: "...Anyway, one person does the work and the other takes responsibility!" After saying that, he almost ran away from the pavilion.

Xiao Fei looked helplessly at his retreating figure. As a younger sister, she could advise her brother, but she couldn't force him to do something.
