The Favoured Medical Princess: 736 Rebellion
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The hall was so silent that it was as if you could hear a pin drop.
Pingyang Hou clenched his fist unconsciously, his eyes as dark as the sea.
Obviously the two young men in front of him did nothing and said nothing, but Marquis Pingyang felt as if there were two unreachable mountains standing in front of him.
In his heart, he probably still thinks too highly of himself, thinking that he has eaten more salt than these two young people have eaten rice, so that he has always underestimated them before...
Since Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai are ambitious and capable, then these two people may have already considered what he just said. They are likely to be far more strategic and powerful than they thought. Unfathomable...
Recalling the death of Kui Lang, Marquis Pingyang's pupils shrank. The military report sent to the royal capital clearly stated that the Southern Xinjiang Army had arrived at the Baiyue Capital. However, after he arrived at Luoyue City, he found that there was no sound in the city. None, or the military report is false...
Or, could it be that Baiyue has fallen into the hands of Zhennan Prince and his son? !
The more Marquis Pingyang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
He looked at Xiao Yi again. At this time, his eyes were filled with unconcealable fear.
This Prince Xiao is really hidden too deeply and is too difficult to deal with...
The Marquis of Pingyang took a deep breath and tried again: "Your Majesty, Dayu is very ill now. Do you dare to ask your Majesty if he is interested in helping the court to 'clean up the government'?"
The last four words of Marquis Pingyang were almost squeezed out from between his teeth, and his body could not help but stiffen.
"Purge the government" is a euphemism. What he really wants to ask is whether Xiao Yi intends to rebel? !
No matter whether Xiao Yi really intends to rebel, this question may anger him!
Xiao Yi curled his lips and smiled, his smile seemed to be full of interest, but there seemed to be a coldness in it, making Marquis Pingyang even more nervous.
"What does the Marquis think of my southern Xinjiang?"
Xiao Yi asked with a smile, with disdain in his heart: The sky is high in their southern border and the sea is vast. He and Xiaobai are free here. What is there about Dayu that he should worry about? !
But his simple nine words had another meaning in Pingyang Hou's ears.
How about southern Xinjiang? ! How can this remote place in Southern Xinjiang compare to the royal capital and the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River!
Pingyang Hou felt happy. As long as Xiao Yi was dissatisfied with his current situation, it was his chance to persuade him; as long as Xiao Yi was willing to support Prince Shun, the court would be in a different situation!
After Pingyang Hou pondered for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I think that your Majesty is so heroic..."
But when he was halfway through his words, he was suddenly interrupted by an elegant male voice:
"Who in Dayu do you think can be the wise master of me and the Crown Prince?!"
Guan Yubai's warm eyes looked directly at Marquis Pingyang, with a faint smile still on his lips, as if what he was talking about was not some important matter in the court, but some elegant matters such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Hearing this, Marquis Pingyang's eyes widened in disbelief, his eyebrows were filled with shock, and the word "ridiculous" almost came out of his mouth.
The implication of this official language is clearly that of the princes of Dayu, neither he nor Xiao Yi likes them, and neither of them is a master!
Guan Yubai is so brave!
What he said is almost treasonous!
However, what makes Pingyang Marquis even more incredible is that Guan Yubai spoke for Xiao Yi without any hesitation or scruple, as if what he meant was what Xiao Yi meant, and Xiao Yi...
The Marquis of Pingyang looked at Xiao Yi again. This Prince Xiao was overbearing and arbitrary and would not be easily swayed by other people's words, but Guan Yubai could represent him, and Xiao Yi's expression seemed to be taken for granted.
He seems to have made another mistake.
This realization caused Pingyang Hou to feel a storm in his heart.
He originally thought that Guan Yubai had surrendered to Xiao Yi, just like he had surrendered to Prince Shun. The two had a master-slave relationship, but it was not until this moment that he realized that he was wrong.
The two people seem to be on par, and the relationship between them is by no means as simple as I thought before!
Pingyang Hou was confused and confused, his mind was as confused as a mess, and he couldn't sort it out.
He came to Bixiaotang this time to leave a way out for himself, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
He revealed such a big secret that Xiye was about to attack, but still got nothing, but it was still not enough to please Xiao Yi.
Is he just going to leave like this?
Pingyang Hou felt very unwilling, but he didn't know what else to do.
I still need more chips!
Pingyang Hou left with a lot of worries. He had to think carefully about what to do next.
Fortunately, he still has time. He still has some time before the emperor's next decree arrives in southern Xinjiang...
Pingyang Hou felt like a prey being roasted on charcoal fire. He knew that there were blazing flames on all sides, but he was trapped in the fire and had nowhere to escape!
He can only hope that time will pass a little slower, a little slower...
On the contrary, King Zhennan was very anxious and just hoped that life would go by as quickly as possible. In another twenty days, he would be able to hold a full-moon banquet for little Jin Sun.
In the King of Zhennan’s longing day and night, winter turns to spring and with the coming of spring, flowers bloom on the branches and everything flourishes.
Finally it was March 20th, and the King of Zhennan calculated that the days were almost there, so he immediately sent out invitations, inviting all the prefectures in Luoyue City to come to the palace on March 25th to attend the double full moon banquet of his grandson.
There was an instant commotion in all the mansions in Luoyue City. The palace was finally going to hold a banquet for the grandson. He wanted his grandson to be well in the future, so all the mansions began to rack their brains to figure out what full-moon gift to give to the grandson. .
After King Zhennan sent out all the posts, Que'er learned of the matter and hurried to Bixiaotang to report to the imperial concubine.
"The post about Double Full Moon Wine was sent out this morning?"
Nangong Yue was helping the little guy tidy up his swaddling clothes. She couldn't help but be startled and raised her eyes to look at Magpie'er.
Quie'er responded: "Your Majesty ordered the office to write a post last night and sent it out early in the morning."
"..." Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi hesitantly. She and Xiao Yi had discussed it. They originally planned to wait an extra month for the 100-day banquet, but King Zhennan disrupted the original plan. plan.
Xiao Yi directly hugged the baby in Nangong Yue's arms, patted him to coax him to sleep, and said casually: "Ah Yue, just pretend you don't know. Whoever posted the post will be the one to entertain him!" As long as you don't Let Nangong Yue worry, Xiao Yi doesn't care at all what his father does.
Nangong Yue thought for a while and said, "Since my father has posted, let's move the banquet in advance." After all, King Zhennan is rushing to hold a banquet for the sake of the baby, so just follow King Zhennan's wishes.
Xiao Yi always followed his wife's advice, and when the imperial concubine spoke, he immediately followed her advice and acted according to his wife's ideas.
Time passed in the blink of an eye and a few days passed. On March 25th, Nangong Yue was finally able to give birth to her second baby.
Baihui and the others had boiled hot mugwort water for their master early in the morning, and poured it into the waist-high bathtub bucket by bucket. After a while, the steaming mist had filled the surroundings, accompanied by the faint scent of mugwort. The medicinal fragrance penetrates the tip of the nose.
Nangong Yue almost couldn't wait to soak herself in the hot water, feeling that her whole body came to life.
Although she had never taken a bath like this in the past two months, she still wiped her body with a white towel dipped in warm water and changed her clothes every day. Even so, she still felt uncomfortable, as if she had been in trouble He was sweating profusely and his whole body was sticky.
She washed three buckets of water and soaked herself till she was red, and then she felt relieved.
Although it has only been two short months, her figure has already recovered a lot. Except for her chest being a little plumper and her lower abdomen still bulging, other parts have basically returned to pre-pregnancy, and her complexion is even better than before. , white and rosy, thanks to this short period of time, Lin Jingchen came from time to time to check her pulse and prescribe medicines one after another.
Quie'er and Huamei quickly helped Nangong Yue put on a brand new rose-red butterfly embroidered silk jacket, and helped her dress up...
Xiao Yi watched with interest as the maids dressed up his imperial concubine. He was also a little eager to try it, but he still had some self-awareness about his craftsmanship. Thinking that the future was long, he restrained himself.
Although it is not yet past time, the guests who came to attend the double full moon banquet early in the morning have begun to arrive one after another. The maids come from time to time to report the situation in the palace, but Xiao Yi is not in a hurry at all and nestles leisurely in Bixiao. In the hall, since this banquet was hosted by his father, it was up to him to take the trouble to receive the guests.
Today's banquet for male guests was held in the main hall on the first floor of the Xingsu Building in the palace.
General Tang and several other middle-aged generals loyal to King Zhennan have arrived and are surrounding King Zhennan, exchanging compliments. This one congratulates King Zhennan on getting his eldest grandson, and the other one says, "The birth of a grandson." On that day, the sky was auspicious, and the descendants must be blessed." Another said, "When the descendants grow up, they will be as wise and wise as their ancestors." and so on... Each of them said that the face of Zhennan King was red and beaming with joy.
As time passed, more and more visitors came. When it was about time, the young generals also arrived in twos and threes, and the table was bustling.
As soon as they came out, Xiao Yi and Lily, who were holding bright red silk swaddling clothes, arrived. They suddenly became the focus of everyone, and the Xingsu Building instantly became commotion.
The King of Zhennan originally thought that the rebellious son had come too late, but as soon as the precious golden grandson appeared, he lost all anger. He hurriedly waved for someone to carry the golden grandson to his side, and received compliments from the generals. I praised them from head to toe, from fingernails to hair...
The King of Zhennan was finally satisfied, so the child was carried to the young generals. In an instant, he was surrounded by three layers inside and three outside.
Fu Yunhe, who was on the third floor, raised his voice and said, "Brother, my nephew is so beautiful!"
"That's right, that's right." Yu Xiufan immediately agreed with a smile, "I think his eyes and nose look like his big brother's, as if they were carved from the same mold!"
"And the face shape..."
Those young generals were exaggerating one by one, completely unaware that the faces of a certain father and son were a little stiff, or rather gloomy.
The King of Zhennan glanced at the young generals displeasedly. He felt that none of these young men had eyes. His precious golden grandson was only a little like Xiao Yi, a rebellious son, and more like his grandfather. !
Xiao Yi was equally displeased and felt that his younger brothers had bad eyesight at such a young age. It was obvious that A Yue had worked so hard to give birth to the brat, so of course he looked more like A Yue!
The Xingsu Building was noisy and full of joy, but the round white dough in the swaddling clothes was bold. He looked at everyone with a pair of black and white eyes curiously, without being frightened at all.
Immediately someone complimented Xiao Shisun in a very eye-catching manner, which made King Zhennan and Xiao Yi proudly puff up their chests, and also made many soldiers in the Xingsu Tower secretly They exchanged a look.
No one in the army knows that the prince and the prince have always been at odds with each other, but now the father and son, who seemed like enemies in the previous life, actually seem to have a much harmonious relationship...
It seems that with the birth of the little grandson, the Zhennan Palace will usher in new changes. As for Southern Xinjiang and the Southern Xinjiang Army, only when the Zhennan Palace is stable can they be stable and prosperous!
The generals were very worried, and soon they were drinking and fist-fighting, and the atmosphere became more and more lively. Baihe and the others also took advantage of this and quickly carried the little grandson to the inner courtyard. After meeting with Nangong Yue, the group of people waited Then he went to the flower hall where the female guests were entertained.
In the flower hall, all the female guests had already taken their seats. Xiao Fei and Zhou Roujia were keeping filial piety to the little Fang family, so they avoided coming out to meet the guests. The guests were the concubine Wei and Mr. Xiao's wife Xin.
The arrival of the two hosts made all the female guests stand up and bow to Nangong Yue first. Then Mrs. Tian, Mrs. Yao and others came directly to greet Nangong Yue. The conversation naturally revolved around the precious little girl. Guys turn.
One look at the young grandson's white, fat and strong appearance, and he knew that he was well-raised. The ladies were very maternal, and they praised him one after another.
Seeing these ladies and girls surrounding the radiant Nangong Yue and the baby like stars over the moon, Mrs. Qiao, who was sitting beside her, looked unhappy, but she could only force out a stiff smile.
She originally thought that the palace’s delay in holding a full moon banquet was because this grandson was either weak and sick, or was short-lived... Unexpectedly, the child seemed to be very well, and her younger brother, King Zhennan, was beaming with joy today. It seems that even his nephew Xiao Yi will gain the favor of his younger brother because of the birth of his grandson, and from then on "chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".
The more Mrs. Qiao thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and a thick haze flashed in her cloudy eyes.
At the same time, Mrs. Tian and others quickly sat down around Nangong Yue. Mrs. Tian sat on the right side of Nangong Yue and looked at the baby who had fallen asleep soundly in Lily's arms. Mrs. Tian Da said jokingly from the side: "Mother, you see, my little grandson is really like a mountain that collapsed before him, but his appearance remains unchanged. He will be as brave as the grandson in the future. I am blessed in southern Xinjiang!"
Flattery! Mrs. Qiao glanced at Mrs. Tian with disdain, curled her lips, and thought to herself: A little baby can't even speak, can't walk, how can it see any tricks!
It's a pity that no one cares about what she thinks. Madam Tian agreed with her daughter-in-law with a smile, then turned to ask Nangong Yue: "Prince Concubine, has the little grandson chosen a name?"
The simple question made Nangong Yue dumbfounded, and her whole body felt like it was struck by lightning.
She forgot to name the baby!
She was actually led astray by A Yi again. She completely forgot to give their baby a name, and A Yi called the baby "stinky boy" every day.
Nangong Yue glanced at the sleeping baby apologetically, and said to Mrs. Tian with some embarrassment: "...The Crown Prince hasn't given him a name yet."
The ladies thought that this grandson was the next generation heir to the palace, and of course the name had to be chosen carefully, but they didn't care.
The maids Baihui and Queer secretly breathed a sigh of relief. On the other hand, they could not help laughing. The prince's concubine is meticulous in everything else she does, but once her grandson is involved, she will follow the prince's lead and act foolishly. They didn't know whether to lament that the prince's ability to "make trouble" was profound, or to sigh that the prince's concern would lead to chaos.
After the female guests congratulated each other, the banquet officially began. One by one, the maids wearing green and blue dresses came in holding a red lacquered wooden tray, and began to serve the dishes with well-trained and agile movements. .
Halfway through the dish, a little maid came running up panting, bending her knees and saying: "Prince Concubine, the third princess is here... coming this way."
When she thought of the posture of the third princess, the little maid was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, but there were so many guests in the room, and she didn't know whether she should say something or not.
For a moment, there was a commotion in the flower hall, and the female guests all looked at each other. These three princesses were distinguished guests. Logically speaking, they should naturally go out to greet them.
But the Crown Princess...
Recalling that since the third princess came to Luoyue City, the prince concubine had never taken the initiative to visit the third princess at the inn. Obviously, she had her own considerations, so the female relatives did not dare to act rashly. Only Mrs. Qiao was happy in her heart, and her eyes were filled with resentment. There is some gloating in it.
Soon, a young and pretty woman walked into the courtyard aggressively and strode towards the flower hall.
There was another commotion in the hall, and all the female guests looked shocked.
The young woman was wearing a flawless snow-white dress, with a simple crescent moon bun on her head and a white flower. She was dressed in pure white without any other colors.
Of course, the discovery of Kui Lang's body has already spread in Luoyue City. Everyone also knows that the third princess is now a widow, but she wore such a mourning dress and rushed to attend the wedding ceremony of her little grandson. A full moon banquet is clearly a sign of bad intentions.
Most of the female guests were surprised and confused. Mrs. Tian, her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Yao secretly exchanged glances, intending to act according to the opportunity.
Soon, the third princess stepped into the hall, and her eyes immediately locked on Nangong Yue at the main table, her eyes cold and decisive.
Ever since she came to southern Xinjiang, she has been perfunctory by the Zhennan Palace again and again, so that now that Kui Lang is dead, she, the princess, is not only reduced to a widow, but may also become the abandoned son of her father at any time...
Every time she thinks of this, the third princess feels uneasy.
She can't sit still and wait for death. She came here today to take this opportunity to put pressure on the Zhennan Palace in front of the Southern Xinjiang Palaces and let them deal with Baiyue. Only in this way will she be able to stand in front of her father in the future. She can show off her merits and let her father see that she is not useless.
"Prince Concubine!" The third princess said coldly with a sullen face and full of righteous indignation, "The Zhennan Palace despised the imperial court, did things poorly, and killed me..."
Unfortunately, Nangong Yue was not interested in listening to her at all.
"Haitang," Nangong Yue calmly interrupted the other party and ordered, "The palace does not welcome uninvited guests, and I will not see off my concubine!"
"Yes, Crown Princess." Haitang eagerly accepted the order, "Madam, please."
Haitang deliberately showed off his skills. He just dodged and appeared like a ghost in front of the third princess who was a few feet away. Then he extended his hand to make a sign of invitation.
"How dare you, humble maid!" the third princess scolded with a gloomy look.
However, her strong-willed appearance didn't work on Haitang at all. Haitang grabbed the third princess's wrist, clamped the opponent like an iron pincer, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm rude..."
"Bold!" This time, Mrs. Qiao stood up and pointed at Haitang in disbelief, "How dare you, a cheap maid, be rude to the princess?!" This was simply lawless.
"Mrs. Qiao's words are wrong." Mrs. Tian said with a smile, "Her Royal Highness the Third Princess is a widow. She should avoid an occasion like today..." She smiled kindly, but everyone was stunned. From what I heard, I knew she was scolding the third princess for not knowing etiquette.
The third princess was so angry that her forehead floated. These southern Xinjiang people are indeed barbarians!
"Your Highness, please calm down." Mrs. Qiao comforted the third princess, glared at the culprit Nangong Yue, her eyes almost bursting with fire, and then ordered the nun beside her, "Quickly go find the prince..." She didn't believe that King Zhennan would let the Crown Princess drive away the third princess.
But the mother-in-law had only taken half a step when she was stopped by a woman. Nangong Yue looked at Mrs. Qiao and said calmly: "Since the eldest aunt wants to say goodbye, the nephew-in-law will not stay."
The implication is to see off guests.
In the flower hall, it was quiet again.
Nangong Yue didn't care at all, and ordered without hesitation: "Inherit the order of this concubine. From now on, the Zhennan Palace will not accept the invitations from the Third Princess."
She spoke casually, but her tone was decisive, making people dare not question the determination in her words.
The third princess was stunned. She didn't expect that in the public eyes, Nangong Yue would dare to ignore her request and even issued an expulsion order for her own princess. She clearly wanted to ignore the royal family's face.
Is there another rebellion in Zhennan Palace? !
