Nangong Yue quickly glanced at the piece of paper and immediately grasped the key.
The emperor is going to take action against Southern Xinjiang!
Nangong Yue subconsciously squeezed the silk paper with her bare hands, feeling a little sad. For a moment, she thought of many things that happened in the royal capital before, and the emperor's love for her in those years...
No matter what the emperor’s purpose was, when he was in the royal capital, the emperor was not bad to her, just like an elder who was a family friend... But she didn’t expect that she would end up like this!
Xiao Yi didn’t know what Nangong Yue was feeling. Looking at Guan Yu, his white eyes flashed slightly and said, “Xiao Bai, the new camp will be here soon in the next two days!”
This time, before the two of them set off from Xiye back to southern Xinjiang, they had ordered the soldiers of the Xinrui Battalion to rush back to southern Xinjiang. Days, they should arrive in the next two days.
"No more than three days at most." Guan Yubai said lightly.
The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth curved into a smile, "When the hussar general arrives, I will go and meet them in person."
A mere 10,000 troops still want to take over southern Xinjiang? ! The emperor and Han Lingfu overestimated Dayu and underestimated Southern Xinjiang!
There was a hint of ridicule in Xiao Yi's eyes, but he was even more eager to try.
This little incident did not cause many ripples in the house, and soon faded away in the scent of tea...
After Guan Yubai took a sip of the hot medicinal tea, he put down the celadon tea cup in his hand and said, "Ayi, it's time for me to go back to Xiye..."
Before Guan Yubai finished speaking, Xiao Yi received a disapproving look.
"Xiao Bai, it's not up to you to make the decision!" Xiao Yi leaned lazily on the back of his chair and shook his index finger with a smile, "It's up to the Lin family's grandfather to make the decision. He agrees to let you go, and I will never stop him. Here!"
Baihui raised her eyebrows slightly. Although the prince was unreliable most of the time, his words at critical moments were much more effective than slaves like them. The young master's journey back to southern Xinjiang with the prince must have been day and night. With the prince's body, it is naturally not a serious problem, but the young master is different...
Guan Yubai wanted to say something else, but Xiao Yi beat him to it.
"Brat," Xiao Yi suddenly raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at their brat and said, "Do you want your adoptive father and Han Yu to stay and play with you?"
Little Xiao Yu nodded without thinking: "Father, Han Yu, let's play!"
Xiao Yi's words seemed to remind the little guy. He looked at Guan Yubai with burning eyes, and said with hope: "Hanyu, play!"
The little guy's cute look is enough to melt icebergs, not to mention the elders who love him.
Soon, Han Yu was summoned, followed closely by Xiao Hui. The little guy was almost overjoyed and felt very proud.
On this day, the little guy had lunch at Qingyunwu, and it was not until nap time that he yawned and returned to Bixiaotang for his parents.
For the little guy, life has become much more interesting since daddy came down from the painting.
Xiao Hui stays at home every day and flies away for a few days without being seen again. Han Yu also has Han Yu to play with him.
Dad would also take him out to play, catch cats for him, and throw him up and fly... It seems that a long time ago, there was someone who played with him like this.
These thoughts just flashed through the little guy's head, which only thought about eating, drinking and having fun every day, and he was busy continuing to play with his father.
The happy time passed very quickly, and the three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning that day, the three thousand soldiers of the Xinrui Battalion returned to the Luoyue City Camp in a mighty manner. Xiao Yi, who had received the news a long time ago, went to the camp to greet him in person. The big fanfare was obviously to welcome him. All the soldiers returned in triumph.
There was a quiet stir in the camp. Except for King Zhennan, everyone in the army was curiously speculating on where the Xinrui Battalion had returned from and what great achievements it had made.
At the same time, Nangong Yue was not idle, entertaining guests in Bixiao Hall.
There is one school captain and five generals from Wei Qian in the 3,000-year-old battalion. Today, Nangong Yue specially invited the female relatives of these six families to visit Bixiao Hall.
Nangong Yue entertained many female guests in the Ya'er Hall. Many of the guests were very familiar with Nangong Yue, such as Mrs. Hua, Mrs. Tian Da, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Chang and their daughters-in-law. Everyone was chatting with each other, and the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious.
"The Crown Princess," Mrs. Yu said with a smile, "I see that the kapok in this yard is blooming really well, and it is as red as fire! I look at it as well as the peonies and camellias."
It's February, and it's the time when kapok blossoms in the early spring breeze. The bright red flowers add a lot of color to the courtyard.
"Yes." Mrs. Tian immediately responded, with a bit of temptation, "I am tacky. They say purple is elegant and yellow is noble. I don't think it can compare to this bright red, which is festive and prosperous. ”
Although they were talking about flowers, they were still thinking about it in their hearts, and they didn't know why the Crown Princess was inviting them to this banquet.
These ladies are also shrewd and have vaguely guessed what they have in common with the people present today——
New Talent Camp.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and reassured them, "Mrs. Tian is right, I think this kapok tree is orange and red, it is indeed very festive." Then, she ordered the maid to fold a few kapok sticks and put them in the bottle .
After hearing what Nangong Yue said, the female guests all felt confident, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
At this moment, a little maid came over quickly and said: "Prince Concubine, Mrs. Yan is here."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly stiffened, and the female guests all looked at each other in shock.
Mrs. Tian raised her eyebrows, with a flash of disapproval in her eyes.
The time written in the invitation sent by the Crown Princess was Si hour, and now it is already past half time. It would be too late for Madam Yan to arrive, which would be too embarrassing for the Crown Princess.
This Mrs. Yan claims to be a stickler for rules, but in fact she is very shallow. It’s no wonder that the Yan family’s legitimate sons and daughters are all incompetent...
However, Mrs. Yan’s arrival also confirmed Mrs. Tian’s suspicion that the Crown Princess’s banquet today should be related to the Xinrui Camp!
After a moment, another little maid ushered in a middle-aged woman wearing a sapphire blue quilted silver gourd trousers, it was Mrs. Yan.
The other ladies looked at Mrs. Yan with a half-smile but then looked away, either drinking tea or chatting.
In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Yan walked up to Nangong Yue with her head held high, followed closely by a woman wearing a dark-colored eight-tuple Ruyi floral brocade gown with a humble expression.
This woman looked like a grandma, but she was dressed more expensively than a grandma, which attracted curious looks from several ladies and girls. Mrs. Chang seemed to have thought of something, and raised her lips sarcastically.
Nangong Yue looked at Madam Yan’s master and servant indifferently, her eyes paused on the woman for a moment, and she vaguely remembered where she had seen this person...
"I have met the Crown Princess." Mrs. Yan said happily, "Please forgive me for being late, Crown Princess."
The female guests secretly exchanged glances with different thoughts.
Nangong Yue did not intend to argue with Madam Yan, and directly ordered the maid to take Madam Yan to the table and sit down.
Now that everyone is here, Nangong Yue talks about today's business with a smile: "The prince often praises Hua Xiaowei, Mr. Yu Weiqian, Mr. Chang Weiqian, Mr. Tian Weiqian, Mr. Yan Weiqian and Mr. You Weiqian with me. They are all young heroes! This time, the errand that the prince ordered them to do was done very well."
Nangong Yue's two words revealed a lot of information. The female guests were all happy. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi were still hundreds of generals before, and they went out with the prince for just four days. Yue has been promoted to President Wei Qian. Since the errands have been done well, it seems that the Crown Prince will reward them based on their merits in the future. Therefore, one can imagine the reason why the Crown Princess invited them here this time.
As a woman, the wife regards her husband as the most important thing, and the mother regards the son as the most important thing. In other words, both are prosperous.
After that, the entire Xiayou Hall seemed to become heated, and the female guests could not stop smiling.
Nangong Yue smiled and praised the ladies for their skill in raising their children, and also rewarded Young Madam Hua and Young Madam Tian each with a set of red gold headscarfs.
The Crown Princess is now the most distinguished woman in southern Xinjiang. The two young ladies were overjoyed to receive the award from the Crown Princess, knowing that their husband-in-law must have a bright future.
In this joyous atmosphere, only Mrs. Yan's expression was very stiff, and her lips pursed into a straight line.
When Nangong Yue praised her for her skill in raising her son, Mrs. Yan suddenly stood up, attracting several probing glances.
"I am not worthy of the compliments of the Crown Princess." Mrs. Yan pretended to be virtuous, but to outsiders, she looked a little bit smiling.
"It seems that my concubine is not responsible for Brother Jun's success." Madam Yan pulled the woman next to her in a dark dress, "This is Brother Jun's aunt, and now Brother Jun Following the Crown Prince, he has made great achievements, and it is Aunt Sun who should be rewarded by the Crown Princess."
The woman was pulled forward by Madam Yan without warning. She was a little at a loss, but when she looked at Madam Yan, she looked even more respectful. She felt that her madam was really humble. She was just a slave, so how could she dare to be a godson? Well done.
There was an uproar all around. Mrs. Tian and others felt that Mrs. Yan was simply a demon. She actually brought a concubine to the banquet of the Crown Princess, and also wanted the Crown Princess to reward an aunt? !
Mrs. Yan looked at Nangong Yue with her head high and her chest high, with a sneer on her lips, not caring about other people's eyes at all.
She has been very unhappy in the past few months.
She comes from a noble family, is virtuous and knows etiquette. After marrying into the Yan family, she has taken care of her husband and raised her children for decades, and managed the Yan family properly, but what will she get in exchange? !
Just because Yan Xijun Yan has made some small contributions and gained the appreciation and support of the Crown Prince, the family gradually began to have a tendency of not distinguishing between the concubines and the concubines. Three days ago, after the Crown Prince’s invitation was delivered, General Yan actually returned the favor. He whimsically proposed that Aunt Sun should be promoted to the second wife, which was clearly meant to disturb the legitimate concubine, and she was so angry that she became ill for three days.
Mrs. Yan originally did not plan to come to Bixiaotang today, but General Yan found out and rushed to her yard to scold her and ordered her to come over.
When she got married and obeyed her husband, she had to listen to General Yan, so she came, but she felt a little unwilling to do so. In a fit of anger, she even brought Aunt Sun with her...
Mrs. Yan looked at Nangong Yue with a flash of ridicule in her eyes.
She would like to see how the Crown Princess behaves. If the Crown Princess condescends to treat a concubine today, it will lose the face of her and the palace. But if the Crown Princess thinks that Yan Xijun's mother is a concubine, Negligence and neglect will inevitably hurt Yan Xijun's self-esteem and plant a thorn in his heart.
Nangong Yue watched Madam Yan’s expression change several times with a half-smile, and Madam Yan’s thoughts were known to everyone on the road.
Since Mrs. Yan has the "meaning" to praise this Aunt Sun, then she should be "kind-hearted" to help her!
Nangong Yue looked Aunt Sun up and down, suddenly smiled, turned around and whispered to Baihui. After a while, Baihui came in front of everyone, holding a tray covered with red velvet cloth. On the red velvet cloth, there is a red gold bird holding a pearl and shaking it.
Compared with the red gold heads and faces that Nangong Yue gave to several ladies, this red gold bird holding pearls is naturally inferior. The female guests immediately guessed who this step was prepared for and secretly exchanged it. A look, waiting for a good show.
Is the Crown Princess going to...Mrs. Yan naturally thought about it, her face turned pale and her eyes widened.
Nangong Yue's smile remained unchanged, she stroked her sleeves and said softly: "Mrs. Yan, this time Mr. Yan Weiqian has made a great contribution. Logically speaking, Aunt Sun can also receive a reward as a biological mother. In this case, It is only right for me, my concubine, to give you a reward or two for the prince first."
"Prince Princess, this is against the rules!" Mrs. Yan's face changed drastically and she blurted out without thinking. Aunt Sun nodded frequently on the side, as if to say, Madam is right.
The whole hall was silent, and several ladies looked at Mrs. Yan with almost sympathy. This Mrs. Yan really had no self-knowledge and no ability to judge the situation!
Nangong Yue said unhurriedly: "The former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was in charge of the third son of the common people. He was the number one scholar in high school twelve years ago and is now the Minister of Taichang Temple. I asked for a third-grade imperial edict for my biological mother; Jiang Yunhai, More than a hundred years ago, he was the concubine of Duke Pingguo of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was a second-ranked scholar in high school and a second-rank official. Because of his merits in water control, he asked his biological mother to be granted a second-rank imperial edict..."
Nangong Yue cited several examples from the present to the present. The main prerequisite for these concubines to be able to apply for the title of aunt is naturally that the aunt is already appointed, and the wife of Guan Shangshu is appointed from the first rank. The Duke of Pingguo’s Mansion in the Northern Wei Dynasty was of the first rank...
According to the rules, concubines must not be messed with, but to say the least, the principle that mother is more precious than son has never changed.
The more Mrs. Yan listened, the worse her face became, and her heart sank little by little.
She is the wife of a second-grade general, which means that as long as King Zhennan says a word, Aunt Sun can be made a third-grade imperial wife at any time!
Thinking about it, Mrs. Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt fear, uneasiness, and anger in her heart.
Aunt Sun has not been favored by General Yan for many years, but this year, because Yan Xijun has begun to make a difference, even the general has treated Aunt Sun favorably. If she really gets the prince's reward, I am afraid the general will ignore it Because of his own obstruction, he wanted to make her his second wife...
Mrs. Yan didn’t say anything, and Aunt Sun didn’t dare to accept it. Baihui held the tray and walked up to the helpless Aunt Sun, and said directly: “Aunt Sun, you still haven’t thanked the imperial concubine!”
How can anyone refuse the reward given by the Crown Princess?
Aunt Sun shrank, hurriedly blessed her body, and said with a slight trembling: "I thank you, my concubine."
Mrs. Yan's face looked even more ugly, with bulging veins on her forehead and back of her hands. Her mouth opened and closed but she could no longer speak. She felt unwilling to do so. She felt that the Crown Princess had done something wrong, but from the rules, she could not refute...
Her face was red with embarrassment, and her back was like a gleam, and she felt that the ladies around her were whispering, making fun of her, mocking her, and scorning her...
In this somewhat weird atmosphere, a little maid in green clothes walked in quickly, knelt down and said: "Prince Concubine, the stage is ready."
Nangong Yue stood up, stroked her skirt gently, and ignored Madam Yan, directly calling Madam and the girls to listen to the play.
The girls came out of the far hall in twos and threes and walked past Madam Yan without squinting. No one paid her any attention. After a while, only Madam Yan and Aunt Sun were left standing in the hall, stunned. There, everything was empty.
The female guests chatted and laughed as they followed Nangong Yue towards the small garden. From a distance, they could see the stage set up by the lake in the small garden. The stage had already been decorated and decorated with lights.
"Ladies and girls, please come this way."
The maid led the female guests towards the Linshui Pavilion by the lake.
When passing by the lake, Nangong Yue's steps suddenly stopped, which attracted the attention of the female guests and followed Nangong Yue's gaze.
Not far away, in a pavilion by the lake, a young girl wearing a pink and purple hood was sitting on the railing, scattering fish food into the lake casually with her right hand.
Nangong Yue’s eyes were full of smiles and she said to Que’er: “Go and invite Miss Yuan to come over and watch the show together.”
