The Empress Road is ready for everything
With Nangong Sunu, the big Buddha sitting in town, Qiu Ju felt a lot more at ease.
Although Nangong Sunu has been married for many years, her status in the inner court is very special. First of all, her status as the eldest daughter, coupled with the strength of her husband's family, so far-off marriage not only did not weaken her influence, but made her more important.
Qiu Ju let out a long sigh of relief, and invited the two highnesses to the main hall for a while, served tea and cakes in person, and then went to the bedroom to wake up Nangong Jingnv and Qi Yan.
In the bedroom, Nangong Jingnv completely forgot that her two sisters were going to see Qi Yan today. She was really tired during this time, and she managed to steal the rest of the day. Qi Yan's body recovered, and the relationship she guarded finally opened up and saw the moon, and she couldn't afford it anymore.
Lying beside Qi Yan wrapped in a quilt, Qi Yan also put one hand on the quilt, the two of them just looked at each other, and they smiled knowingly when they looked at each other.
Qi Yan felt distressed for Nangong Jingnv, raised her hand to caress her face, slid her thumb across Nangong Jingnv's eyes, and said with pity, "How long has it been since Your Highness had a good rest?"
Nangong Jingnu smiled and said, "Aren't you also thin? It seems that you need to make up for it."
…
Qiu Ju came to the door again, and listened to the sound that there was no sound inside, so she dared to knock on the door: "Master Consort, Your Highness... is it up?"
Nangong Jingnu: "Damn!"
Qi Yan: "What's wrong?"
Nangong Jingnv: "Big sister and second sister are coming to visit you today! How could I forget about this!"
Nangong Jingnu called to the door, "Wait a minute."
Qiu Ju: "Yes."
Nangong Jingnu glared at Qi Yan: "Don't turn around yet?"
Qi Yan blinked, "Oh" and turned her back.
Nangong Jingnu looked around and found that her middle clothes had actually fallen on the ground, so she went barefoot to the cabinet to find a new one, and heard Qi Yan say slowly: "His Royal Highness, just let Sister Qiu Ju come in and serve, in the morning Qiu Sister Ju has already been here." The implication is that you have seen everything you should see, so you don't need to hide it.
Nangong Jingnu's movements froze, her face blushed directly to the base of her ears, but her silver teeth clenched, but there was nothing she could do.
After Qi Yan said this, Nangong Jingnv was even more embarrassed to let Qiu Ju come in to serve her, so she brought Qi Yan a new set and threw it on the bed: "It's all your fault! Big sister and second sister must have come!"
Qi Yan smiled "hehe" and came behind the screen with her clothes in her arms. The two changed their clothes and prepared to leave the bedroom, but Nangong Jingnu found Qi Yan's eyes looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.
On Nangong Jingnv's snow-white neck, there were several red and purple marks the size of copper coins. Qi Yan naturally knew the reason, but she didn't expect Nangong Jingnv's skin to be so delicate. She was not very gentle last night. Yes, there are traces left.
Qi Yan originally wanted to remind Nangong Jingnu, but was afraid of making her angry again, thinking: Qiu Ju should remind her, right
So, Nangong Jingnu wore two or three hickeys without realizing it, and followed Qi Yan out of the bedroom.
Nangong Jingnu: "Big sister and second sister are here?"
Qiu Ju: "Yes, your two highnesses are in the main hall. Your highness...?"
Nangong Jingnu: "Huh?"
Qiu Ju looked at Qi Yan out of the corner of the eye, and felt that the concubine should have told His Highness that she kept talking to the master's displeasure, so she closed her mouth.
The closer to the main hall, the more cramped Nangong Jingnu became. It was already noon, and she only woke up at this hour.
If only the second sister came, it would be fine, but the eldest sister with a spicy style also came, I am afraid that she could not avoid this teasing.
Entering the main hall, Nangong Su Nu was eating melon seeds, and Nangong Shu Nu sat quietly opposite.
Nangong Jingnu: "eldest sister, second sister."
Qi Yan also raised his arm and saluted: "My minister, Qi Yan. See your two highnesses."
Nangong Sunu: "Brother-in-law doesn't need to be polite, it's all from his own family. I heard that you are ill, are you feeling better?"
Qi Yan: "Thank you eldest sister for your concern, I'm much better now."
Qi Yan is both a foreign minister and a man. Although the two highnesses came to visit her, she just accompany the last seat to exchange a few words, then she found an excuse to retreat and left the space to the three sisters. Say something to yourself.
As soon as Qi Yan stepped out of the temple gate, Nangong Sunu immediately came to her senses. She had already seen the marks on her little sister's neck. As a visitor, she naturally knew what it was.
Because Qi Yan didn't have much to say, it was hard to wait until the person left, so naturally he had to ask some questions.
Nangong Jingnv saw that her eldest sister's eyes were shining, and she knew something was wrong, but unfortunately, before she could think of a countermeasure, Nangong Sunv grabbed her: "Little sister, sit here!"
Nangong Sunu was pregnant, but Nangong Jingnu did not dare to break free, so she obediently sat beside Nangong Sunu.
Nangong Shunv looked at the direction Qi Yan was going away, and made an excuse: "You all sit first, I'll go back when I go."
Nangong Jingnu: "Second sister! What are you going to do? I'll accompany you!"
Nangong Shunv's expression was a little unnatural, and she whispered, "Are you going with me, too?"
Nangong Su Nv took Nangong Jing Nv's hand: "Second sister, hurry up and come back, what are you going to do? Stay here with me, how can you treat guests like this? Let Ben Gong sit for so long, and you have to Can't you just hang me here?"
Nangong Jingnu turned her eyes for help to her second sister, who pretended not to see it and hurried out of the hall.
There were only two sisters in the hall. Nangong Su Nu put down the melon seeds in her hand and asked excitedly, "Are you tired last night?"
Even though Nangong Jingnu was already prepared, this question is too blatant! Nangong Jingnu's newly recovered cheeks suddenly turned red.
Nangong Sunu met her and liked it so much that she held her belly in one hand and patted the back of Nangong Jingnu's hand with a hearty laugh. Her greatest joy in life was to make fun of these younger brothers and sisters, but now they are all grown up , and they are too old to hold their own identities, and Nangong Sunu doesn't want to play with them anymore.
Nangong Jingnv: "I've been to accompany the concubine Liang for the past few days, and I haven't slept well."
Nangong Sunu: "What is there to be ashamed of? Most of the secret words of women's boudoirs are like this. You can't hide it from me!"
Nangong Jingnu heard the word "women" and felt a strange feeling in her heart. Although she had already combed the hair accessories of married women, it was only after last night that she completely classified herself as women.
Thinking of Qi Yan's tenderness and the intimate interaction between the two this morning, Nangong Jingnu couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.
Nangong Sunu was very pleased: her younger sister had no mother since she was a child, and the so-called eldest sister was like a mother: she was only worried that her younger sister was not familiar with customs, which would destroy the harmony between husband and wife.
Nangong Sunu asked again: "My brother-in-law's recovery from a serious illness is so intense, it doesn't matter to your body, right?"
Nangong Jingnu: "Eldest sister! I have said nothing!"
Nangong Sunu stretched out her index finger and tapped Nangong Jingnu's neck: "Who are you lying to? These traces were not left by my brother-in-law, did you bite them yourself?"
Nangong Jingnu was stunned for a while, as if remembering something, she covered her neck with her hands, blushing and lowered her head.
Nangong Sunu stopped teasing her when she saw this, and said something about being a wife, and said earnestly: "It's not that the eldest sister is making fun of you, but I sincerely hope that the two of you can be well. Although the three sisters are It didn't come from a mother's womb, but it has the same blood in the end. The inner court is not an ordinary family, and there are so many things that bind us. Second sister... I don't care, as long as she is happy, I can rest assured. But you have to remember, we are both princesses and women, you have to be careful about how to get along with your husband, and the balance between princess and wife must be done well. You can't blindly control the concubine, and you can't hold it high above."
Nangong Jingnu felt the teaching very much, and wrote it down carefully.
Nangong Jingnu: "Eldest sister, there is something I want to tell you."
Nangong Sunu: "Yes."
Nangong Jingnu: "Yuanjun, he... was poisoned."
Nangong Sunu: "I heard the second sister say, has the murderer been found out? You have to know whether the other party is targeting you or your brother-in-law."
Nangong Jingnu: "I only need to ask the elder sister's opinion after finding out. The imperial doctor said that the pastry was poisonous, and Yuanjun said that the pastry was given to him by Ding Fengshan."
Nangong Su Nu: "Ding Fengshan? Oh... Is that the only son of Ding Yi, the nephew of Duke Zhen Guo Lu Quan?"
Nangong Jingnu: "Yes, it's him."
Nangong Sunu: "What are you going to do about this? Let's talk about it first."
Nangong Jingnv: "Of course I don't intend to let him go. It is a capital offense to murder the royal family and relatives out of love and reason. A small servant in the Ministry of Industry has really eaten the guts of a bear's heart and a leopard. It's just that I'm worried... Ding Fengshan There is someone behind the instructions, and the Ding and Lu families share weal and woe, the Taiwei's mansion has just completed the transition between the old and the new, will it be too sensitive to deal with the Ding family at this juncture?"
Nangong Sunu chuckled and replied, "In my opinion, not necessarily, now the Lu family's limelight is the same for a while, and the military talisman passed down through the dynasties and dynasties, their Lu family is the only one in the ancient times, and they won this honor. The Lu family will be more cautious in the short term, so you can deal with it boldly, report the truth to the fifth, and when the news reaches the Lu family's ears, not only will they not protect the Ding Mansion, but they may even kill their relatives righteously."
Nangong Jingnu suddenly realized: "Eldest sister is right, why didn't I think of it."
Nangong Su Nu came over and said in a very low voice, "If you care about it, you will be messed up. Besides, you are just a princess, and you still have to be the fifth to make the decision. What are you afraid of? A woman who cares about her husband has nothing to do with it. What's wrong, I'd be surprised if you don't make a fuss. The more you act like a woman, the less suspicious you will be. The things you seek must not be revealed until the last minute. Here You didn't have to worry too much before."
Nangong Jingnv's eyes widened: "Eldest sister... You agreed?" A few days ago, Nangong Jingnv had already told Nangong Sunv about her, and the other party said that she needed to think about it.
Nangong Sunu sighed: "Bengong just didn't expect you to have such a great courage, since you can trust me, the big sister, how can I let you down? Besides... Except for you, our brothers will all come to the throne. It may not be able to accommodate the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Even if I see that Ben Gong's position as a general can be kept, it will not be passed down. Ben Gong always has to think about Fu'er and the child in his womb. After it's done, don't forget Just keep your promise."
