It’s Liuying!
Nangong Yue whispered in disbelief. It turned out that Xiao Yi went out just now to catch Liu Ying for herself.
Her face was filled with a smile of surprise, and she looked at the fireflies in the glass jar without blinking. She saw the tails of dozens of small fireflies flashing with light as they patted in the jar. The wings fly around, some are arranged in winding curves, and some are scattered and flying freely...
Seeing that Nangong Yue was fascinated by it, Xiao Yi suggested: "Let's put it on the bedside to make a fluorescent lamp."
Who would have thought, Nangong Yue shook her head and said with some reluctance: "Let's let them go. When you want to see them, you can accompany me to the lake to see them."
Although the flowing firefly is beautiful, it does not exist in a jar, but in its own world, with its partners...
Xiao Yi shrugged indifferently. To him, this was just a jar of bugs, as long as his stinky girl was happy.
Nangong Yue carefully opened the lid of the glass jar, and the fireflies flapped their wings and flew out of the jar, flying out the window. After a while, the yard outside was filled with brilliant light.
Nangong Yue looked at it for a while, reluctant to leave, until she felt tired and yawned lazily.
"Ah Yue, it's getting late, you should have a rest." Staring at Nangong Yue's tired eyebrows, Xiao Yi felt heartbroken: Xiao Luan's marriage has really exhausted his stinky girl. She is not fully recovered yet...
Nangong Yue nodded meekly and said, "You too, it's getting late now, and I have to get up early to recognize my relatives tomorrow."
Xiao Yi didn't care at all about acknowledging relatives. Anyway, it was fine as long as his father accepted the tea ceremony from the newlywed couple. What did it have to do with them? !
But his Ayue worked hard for this marriage, and he couldn't cause trouble for her at the last moment.
He agreed obediently, and couldn't help but curl a strand of hair on her cheek with his fingers. Just as he was about to take her to the couch to rest, Que'er's cautious voice came from inside and outside: "Prince Princess , Aunt Zhang on the Second Young Master’s side complained that she had a stomachache and asked someone to go to the Enamel Courtyard to invite the Second Young Master. Fortunately, Grandma Ling reacted quickly and quickly called someone to stop her, so she didn’t disturb the new couple. "This Grandma Ling is the former Nangong. The nun who Yue sent to Zhou Mansion for education is now the nun in charge of Zhou Roujia.
If Zhang Pianpian succeeds, then tonight’s wedding night will not be enough?
Even if Xiao Luan could harden his heart and leave Zhang Pianpian alone, it would inevitably leave a trace of haze in Zhou Roujia's heart.
Nangong Yue frowned. Zhang Pianpian was Xiao Luan's concubine. Nangong Yue originally didn't want to take care of it. She planned to wait for Zhou Roujia to come over and let her handle it. It seemed that he was too polite that even an aunt dared to cause trouble like this.
Nangong Yue was about to speak, but Xiao Yi beat him to it. He raised his voice impatiently and said: "You are still messing around so late! Just send it back to where it came from!"
Que'er outside almost cried tears of sympathy for Aunt Zhang. She probably just wanted to win favor, but she didn't expect to "alarm" the Crown Prince. Since the Crown Prince had spoken, Aunt Zhang would not be able to treat her. Now in the palace, even if the second young master dares to intercede with the imperial concubine, seeing the imperial concubine is like a mouse meeting a cat.
But the problem is that Aunt Zhang used to be a brothel's brothel. If this is done according to the prince's instructions, wouldn't it mean that Aunt Zhang should be sent back to the brothel? The aunt of the second young master of the palace has gone to a brothel. If word spreads, even the palace will become a laughing stock, right?
Que'er thought of it, but Nangong Yue didn't think of it, so she ordered: "Que'er, you go to Enamel Courtyard, pack Aunt Zhang's luggage, and send her to Mingqing Temple at dawn tomorrow."
After Zhang Pianpian goes to Mingqing Temple to "calm down" for a while, he will probably know his identity. After a while, Zhou Roujia will come forward to bring him back, and Zhou Roujia can also be asked to please Xiao Luan. .
"Yes, Crown Princess," Que'er responded before retreating.
The inner room became quiet again, and at Xiao Yi's urging, Nangong Yue went to rest on the couch. Xiao Yize hurried into the clean room, and when he came out wet, Nangong Yue, who was lying on the bed, had closed her eyes and let out a long breath.
She fell asleep!
Xiao Yi felt a pity in his heart, and was soon attracted by her sweet sleeping face. He sat down by the couch, quietly looked at her sleeping face, and sighed with satisfaction in his heart.
I don’t know how long it took for him to suddenly react. After blowing out the candle, he lay quietly beside her, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and made no sound from the beginning to the end. A little sound.
The next day, when the cockcrow sounded, Nangong Yue, who had had a dreamless night, was suddenly awakened and sat up from the bed.
Xiao Yi, who had just put on his robe, hurriedly comforted him: "Ah Yue, it's still early, don't be in a hurry."
Listening to the crowing of roosters one after another, Nangong Yue rubbed her eyes sleepily and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her just waking up, Xiao Yi really had the urge to push her back onto the couch...
What a pity, today is the day for the newlyweds to serve tea.
Xiao Yi curled his lips and had no choice but to have fun by himself, helping Nangong Yue get dressed and wash up. After struggling for nearly an hour, Nangong Yue was able to come out of Bixiao Hall with him and rush to the Guipu Hall of the palace.
For today’s tea ceremony, Guipu Hall has been rearranged again.
Today, in addition to the newlyweds serving tea to the King of Zhennan, all the members of the royal palace and the in-laws also came to recognize their relatives. Therefore, early in the morning, the Guipu Hall was fully occupied, bustling with chatter and laughter.
After King Zhennan and everyone sat down in order of seniority, Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia, dressed in bright red clothes, came hand in hand to offer tea and kowtow. Under the guidance of Mr. Quanfu, the newlyweds paid homage to their elders in turn, and the juniors present met with the newlyweds and gave gifts to each other. This came and went, and the whole morning passed.
Nangong Yue secretly observed Xiao Luan and saw that he was always in a good mood and did not question why Zhang Pianpian was sent away. Nangong Yue was a little relieved. After all, Xiao Luan was not a completely ignorant person, so he and Zhou Roujia would definitely be able to respect each other as guests in the future.
After the family recognition was over, everyone dispersed. Xiao Yi went to the military camp as usual, while Nangong Yue went to Youning Hall to start a busy day.
The foundation of the Zhennan Palace is too shallow, and many of the rules are unclear. For example, for Xiao Luan's wedding, even the amount of money the prince will need to pay has not been determined, let alone other details.
So, she simply set these rules while organizing Xiao Luan's wedding:
When a legitimate son marries a wife, his father-in-law will give him 10,000 taels of silver, which will be used as betrothal gifts, banquets, etc., and then he will purchase two villages and two shops as private property. When the legitimate daughter got married, the dowry was set at thirty thousand taels of silver. As a rule, the amount for concubines and concubines is reduced by half. Of course, this is only a public account, and it doesn’t matter whether there are further subsidies privately.
Nangong Yue looked at the ledger of Xiao Luan’s wedding expenses that the stewards and nuns had given them, listened to their reports one by one, and explained various daily trivial matters in an orderly manner, without forgetting to ask Baihui to draw up the gift list. , prepared gifts and waited for Zhou Roujia to return the day after tomorrow.
In this way, three days passed in a hurry. When Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia returned home with happy faces, a big event finally came to an end. Nangong Yue finally had a little leisure and could laze in her own yard. Inside.
She couldn't help but think of Xiao Yi's words about taking her to Nanliang, and excitedly told Huamei: "Huamei, look for the "Geography of Nanliang" for me."
"Yes, Crown Princess."
Huamei knew the location of various books in the small study. She skillfully found a set of four volumes of "Geography of Nanliang" and delivered it to Nangong Yue.
Southern Xinjiang gets hot early, and Nangong Yue is afraid of heat. It is only May, and ice has already started to appear.
However, because Nangong Yue was weak, Xiao Yi could only put the ice basin in the window to let the wind outside bring in some coolness.
The cool breeze was blowing, and Nangong Yue was lying comfortably on the beauty's couch, reading the "Geography of Southern Liang" with great interest.
Ayi is right. Nanliang has a variety of landforms, including plains, plateaus, swamps, grand canyons, and mountain glaciers... The hotter places are even hotter and colder than southern Xinjiang. The place is a wonderful world of mountain ice and snow.
The more Nangong Yue looked at it, the more she became immersed in it, and a bright smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
The outside world is so vast. Once, she was trapped in the small area of the royal capital, but now and in the future it will be different. She and Ayi can travel all over the country.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue looked forward to the upcoming trip to Nanliang even more.
There was a sound of lifting the curtain, and Que'er came in and said, "Prince Concubine, the second uncle and grandma are here."
Nangong Yue raised her head from the book. After being stunned for a moment, she realized that the second uncle and grandma Queer was referring to was Fu Yunyan, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please come in quickly."
Nangong Yue usually does not meet guests in the small study, but Fu Yunyan is not an outsider.
After a while, Fu Yunyan walked in quickly through the curtain and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, you are done with your work. Shall we go to the Great Buddha Temple together?"
Without Nangong Yue's invitation, Fu Yunyan sat down on an armchair on the other side of the desk, holding his chin in his hands, and continued excitedly: "My mother just told me that she asked someone to inquire, and said The Great Buddhist Temple near Luoyue City is very efficacious, especially the Guanyin there. Anyone who comes to southern Xinjiang will not fail to pay homage."
The Guanyin at the Great Buddha Temple... Nangong Yue was startled. She had been to the Great Buddha Temple. There was indeed a statue of Guanyin there, and it was a statue of Guanyin that gave birth to children. I heard it was very efficacious. Could it be that Madam Fu wanted her brother and sister-in-law to pay their respects?
Nangong Yue’s heart moved, sending her son to Guanyin.
Since the poisoning, her body has recovered to some extent, maybe...
She bit her lower lip, her face flushed with a pink color, and she happily agreed, and then said: "Ayi has a village near the Great Buddha Temple. Let's go and stay in the village one day early. Then go burn incense the next morning."
Fu Yunyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Ah Yue, you have a good idea. Originally, my mother said that the day after tomorrow would be a good day, but on the day of the second young master's wedding banquet, Mrs. An invited My mother and I will be guests at her house the day after tomorrow. Ayue, will you go too?"
Nangong Yue nodded with a smile.
The post from Anfu was handed in long before Xiao Luan's wedding. It was a "relative" meeting, so he naturally wanted to go.
The An family must have heard that there were distinguished guests in Bixiao Hall, but they were suffering from the lack of opportunity to get close, so they waited until the wedding day to send an invitation to Mrs. Fu.
Fu Yunyan raised her eyebrows curiously, "What is the origin of the An family?" Since the An family was invited to attend the wedding banquet of the palace, they must not be unknown people.
Nangong Yue said calmly: "The An family belongs to the four major families in southern Xinjiang like the Fang family, and is the uncle's family of Concubine Ayi."
Since it is Xiao Yi's cousin's family, logically speaking, the relationship is not too far away, but looking at Nangong Yue's indifferent expression, Fu Yunyan certainly knew it. It seems that there is no need to get too close to Anjia.
In this case, there is no need to waste time on socializing. Let mother reject Anjia later.
Thinking about this, Fu Yunyan smiled and chatted with Nangong Yue again until Xiao Yi came back.
Fu Yunyan stood up wisely and said, "A'Yue, I'll go back first, so that A'Yi won't look at me." She stuck out her tongue naughtily, her lively look was like that of her former boudoir.
Nangong Yue was slightly startled, and just as she was about to leave Fu Yunyan alone, Xiao Yi came in through the curtain and said: "A Yue, Liu Niang, I sent someone to call A Xin..."
When Xiao Yi said this, Fu Yunyan, who had already stood up, sat back down and raised his right eyebrow.
Nangong Yue asked on behalf of Fu Yunyan: "Ayi, where is the royal capital..."
"I just got the questions for the general examination." Xiao Yi said directly without being shy.
Spring is supposed to be in March, but this year it is Enke, so it is set in May.
Fu Yunyan counted the days, yes, he will try for three days, and it should be over today.
After a while, Nangong Xin followed Huamei.
After sitting down, Nangong Yue dismissed several maids, leaving only the four of them in the small study.
Nangong Xin looked at Xiao Yi eagerly. Xiao Yi took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Nangong Xin, gesturing for him to read it himself.
Nangong Xin had a vague premonition in her heart, so she calmed down and quickly opened the note, only to see a line of words written on it:
The way of a university is to be virtuous, to be close to the people, and to be righteous.
This is the opening sentence of "The University".
So...
Nangong Xin closed her eyes in disappointment, loosened her fingers, and the note almost slipped from her fingers...
After all, the emperor did not listen to the opinions of his father and uncle to change the Spring Examination questions.
Then what will happen to His Highness the Fifth Prince? !
Can the Emperor find a better opportunity to resist the pressure from ministers and make His Highness the Fifth Prince the Crown Prince?
Or maybe just let it go...
The answer naturally emerged in Nangong Xin's heart, so cruel that he didn't want to think about it anymore...
It was quiet for a moment in the inner room, with only the breeze blowing from outside and the rustling of the branches and leaves.
Nangong Xin looked out at the yard outside through the half-open window in despair. The sky was blue and clear, but layers of haze piled up in his heart. The breeze blew again, causing the hair on his cheeks to fly messily...
Seeing Nangong Xin like this, Fu Yunyan felt heartbroken. Even without reading the note, she could guess that something in the capital must have gone wrong. Fu Yunyan held Nangong Xin's hand and tried to give him strength.
Nangong Yue took the note from Nangong Xin's hand, stared at it and lowered her eyes without saying a word, sighing quietly in her heart: They have done everything they can. Next, the court may not be able to do anything. So peaceful!
Nangong Yue couldn't help but exert a little force on her right hand as she grabbed the note. She felt as if something was pressing on her heart and she couldn't breathe.
"Squeak——"
Xiao Yi suddenly stood up and opened the window next to him. The midday sun shone in and fell on everyone. It was warm, but it could not warm the coldness in their hearts.
"Axin, the situation in the capital is unclear now. Let's just wait and see how it changes, and stay the same to cope with any changes." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes lazily, sat down again, and said, "Anyway, Aunt Fu has to wait. Xiao Hezi will go back after the small betrothal ceremony. These days, you and Liu Niang will live in Luoyue City with peace of mind. I will take care of the affairs of the royal capital..."
"..." Nangong Xin's lips moved slightly, but in the end he remained silent. Now that the emperor has made his choice, the next situation is beyond their control.
Xiao Yi looked north through the window, "As for the royal capital, Ah Xin, you might as well just write and say that your grandfather Yunxing has gone to hospital in Yunxing, and his return date is uncertain, so you can only wait in southern Xinjiang for the time being. ."
Xiao Yi smiled carelessly, as if what he said was an ordinary thing, rather than letting Nangong Xin bully the king.
Nangong Xin’s lips pursed into a straight line, and after a while, she finally responded gently, her voice disappearing in the breeze, as if the breeze outside the window was sighing helplessly...
After sitting for a while, Nangong Xin took Fu Yunyan and left.
Nangong Yue is a little embarrassed. In this conspiracy, there is no doubt that the most innocent person is the fifth prince...
"Ayi." Nangong Yue couldn't help but ask, "Is there really nothing we can do?"
"Let's take a look first." Xiao Yi put a glass of water into her hand, and after seeing her finish drinking it, he said: "Xiaobai should have received Chunwei's test questions by now. He will be there tomorrow. The flying pigeons delivered the message."
Xiao Yi seemed a little careless in what he said. In fact, the internal and external troubles in southern Xinjiang have not been completely eliminated, especially since they have been fighting almost every year in the past few years and are in urgent need of recuperation.
Once the court is in chaos, it will be of no benefit to Southern Xinjiang.
What's more, if one of the two princes succeeds to the throne in the future, he must make plans early.
For this reason, although Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were far away in southern Xinjiang, they had been paying attention to the affairs of the royal capital.
Nangong Yue nodded slightly and reluctantly put away the anxiety in her heart.
There is no point worrying now, the only word is "wait and see".
And just as Xiao Yi expected, when he came back from the military camp the next day, he received a letter from Fei Ge in Guan Yubai.
He quickly took out and unfolded the thin piece of tissue paper. After reading it once, he frowned tightly.
Guan Yubai mentioned in the letter that if someone around the emperor leaks the secret, or if Master Nangong does not act carefully enough, the two princes may know that Master Nangong is working hard to modify the test questions in order to mobilize the scholars. Lin Xuezi supported the establishment of his legitimate son as crown prince. In this way, the Nangong family will become a thorn in their side...
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and shouted: "Zhuzi, go and call Zhu Xing!"
Zhuzi hurriedly responded to the order and went to do it immediately.
Not long after, Zhu Xing was brought in, and Xiao Yi said bluntly: "Go and make arrangements for the people who stay in the capital to do a few things..."
Xiao Yi said everything one by one, while Zhu Xing took note of it carefully and immediately retreated to finish the work.
Xiao Yi read the silk paper twice again, his eyes resting on the last sentence of the letter for a long time: Failure is also spring, success is also spring.
He lit the candle and burned the paper.
A-Yue's body hasn't fully recovered yet, so she still can't let her know about this, so as not to worry her.
He will do it properly...
Xiao Yi mentioned the snacks on the desk that he bought specially to comfort Nangong Yue, left the study and walked towards their yard.
As soon as I approached the main room, I heard a voice coming from inside, "... Concubine, Zhuangzi from Yushu Village just came to say that Xiao Fang is bedridden. Perhaps he has been suffering from the cold recently due to being greedy for cold weather." To. The steward in Zhuangzi has already gone to ask for the doctor."
Yushuzhuang is the place where King Zhennan asked Xiao Fang to "recuperate".
Xiao Yi curled his lips, picked up the curtain and walked in.
Nangong Yue stood up with a smile to greet her, waved Que'er away, and said, "Ayi, Xiao Fang is seriously ill."
She didn't expect that King Zhennan would make a move so quickly, obviously he couldn't wait to get rid of the relationship with Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang's crime was justified, but she just felt sorry for Xiao Fei.
Over the past few days, Xiao Fei has lost a lot of weight, and she needs to change her mood. Otherwise, I'll always be bored and I'm afraid I'll get sick again.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but think hard.
Xiao Yi immediately guessed what she was thinking, and her face turned dark immediately. She was still absent-minded even though he was back! Xiao Yi took her hand with an aggrieved look on his face, shook it gently, then shook it again... and looked at her with sparkling peach blossom eyes.
