Too much honor
The mother and daughter both put on their riding clothes and ran on the racecourse for most of the day.
Nangong Jingnv has not been riding for a long time, and her riding skills have become a lot rusty. At first, Qi Yuxiao had the upper hand. Looking at the sassy appearance of the little guy galloping on the grass, Nangong Jingnv couldn't help but sigh with emotion: The bloodline nature is really a magical thing.
Although she intends to train Yu Xiao, she has never hired an equestrian master for her. The little guy's ability to have such riding skills is entirely due to her own efforts, or more importantly... the unique grassland blood flowing in her body.
During the game, Nangong Jingnv also chatted with Qi Yuxiao a lot. Although Yuxiao is smarter and more sensible than children of the same age, she is still only a child after all. What happened—unsurprisingly, those palace people in the Pearl Palace acted as slaves and bullies!
There are several servants who often use "supervision" for His Highness to study, get up early and wait for excuses to trespass into Qi Yuxiao's study and bedroom. Not long ago, Nangong Jingnu was worried that Qi Yuxiao would be bullied and just rewarded, and she was so young. The child's frequent replacement of her personal maid is also not conducive to her growth. Maybe there is still the power of the previous princess in the inner court. If they are mixed into Yu Xiao's side, it will be bad.
Lingzhi and Xiancao Nangong Jingnu, who served next to Qi Yuxiao before, disliked them for being cowardly and unconcerned, and sent them to the clothes-washing bureau to do rough work. It's been a few years, so it's better to call them back, after all, they are well-informed. Yes, and after years of experience, he will naturally cherish the opportunity to serve Princess Yanyang even more.
However, Nangong Jingnu also felt that doing this would only cure the symptoms but not the root cause...
The twilight was four close, and after playing for most of the day, the mother and daughter drove back to the palace. Yu Xiao was so tired that she fell asleep on the lap of Nangong Jingnu.
Nangong Jingnv looked down at the little guy, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from Qi Yuxiao's forehead, Nangong Jingnv thought for a long time and made a decision.
The next day, Nangong Jingnv bypassed the courtiers and issued an imperial decree through the procedures of the Internal Court Division: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict said: Princess Yanyang is wise and prudent, and fulfills her filial piety. I live in the side hall of Ganquan Palace, and I will teach it myself. I appreciate it."
This is what Nangong Jingnu thought of, the solution to the root cause.
The service of Immortal Grass and Ganoderma Lucidum alone is not enough. Only by bringing Qi Yuxiao under his lap and raising him personally can not only ensure her safety, but also make those who bully her dare not do it again.
Now that Yu Xiao is still young, she may not understand the true meaning of "little bastard", but as she grows up day by day, this trauma will accompany her to grow up...
However…
Although Nangong Jingnu tried her best to make this matter look like a family affair in the harem, the courtiers still exploded as soon as the news came out. Now Xing Jingfu is not in the civil service group, but Lu Boyan is following the lead. After receiving the news, Lu Boyan immediately gave five of the six Shangshu books. A message was passed on, asking them to accompany him to the palace immediately, which naturally skipped Qin De, who was already a minister of military affairs.
Teaching by the emperor himself is not something that can be easily conveyed with the word "honor". Throughout history, almost every prince who was raised by the emperor himself was one of the heirs to the throne when he grew up, and more than half of them were become the next king.
Back then, the reason why there was no objection to Nangong Jingnv keeping Nangong Jingnv under his knees was that Nangong Jingnv was the only direct descendant, and the mother who lost his mother at a young age was also a princess, and courtiers all watched the marital relationship between Yuan Empress Ma and the late emperor. In my eyes, but today is different from the past: since there is a female emperor first, then the next female emperor can also be a princess!
Although the life and death of the Marquis of Bei'an is uncertain, as long as the Empress does not marry a new husband for one day, Qi Yuxiao, the princess who was given a golden certificate and a jade letter by the late Emperor, can be counted as His Majesty's eldest daughter...
How can there be any family matters related to the State Reserve
Besides, almost all the old officials knew that Princess Yanyang was not born to His Majesty, but was born to the Marquis of Bei'an.
As soon as the imperial decree came, the ministers who had come to see them less than half a day ago knelt in groups outside the imperial study and asked to see them.
Nangong Jingnv had a plan long ago, and after ordering the bead curtains down, she invited these "loyal" courtiers to the imperial study.
The mark left by Qi Yan on her neck has not dissipated, which must not be seen by the courtiers.
Nangong Jingnu: "What are you talking about, Aiqing?"
Lu Boyan took the lead in holding a jade wattle: "Your Majesty, I have come here today because I have doubts about Your Majesty's decree to bring up Princess Yanyang under my knees, and I came here to find out the holy will."
Nangong Jingnu nodded indifferently, her eyes swept away, and she asked indifferently, "All of you are here for this?"
After a few breaths of silence, the ministers said yes.
Nangong Jingnv: "This is just a family matter. Are your lords' hands stretched too long?"
Lu Boyan: "Your Majesty's statement is wrong. As the saying goes, the family and the country are all under the heaven, and the affairs of the king are the affairs of the state. Which of the princes who can be raised by the kings in all dynasties and dynasties is not one of the candidates for the state heir when he grows up? So... "
The Minister of the Ministry of Housing, the oldest, came out and said: "Old ministers are bold, please think twice. Even if your Majesty loves Princess Yanyang, you don't dare to ask what ministers you will reward, but the honor of the emperor's personal upbringing is the identity of Princess Yanyang. , I'm afraid I can't bear it!"
The Minister of the Household is not Lu Boyan's person, but a man of righteousness who sincerely considers the court. All the veterans of Qi Yuxiao's life experience are aware that the Minister of the Household is worried that the Nangong family's world will fall into the hands of foreigners.
Nangong Jingnu: "If you can't bear it, it's up to what I said, and... Yuxiao's golden book and jade scorpion was given by the late emperor. Since it has been included in the genealogy... I hope that there will be no more issues regarding the identity of Princess Yanyang in the future. carry."
Lu Boyan: "Your Majesty, this world belongs to the Nangong family. Princess Yanyang has no royal blood. I hope Your Majesty think twice."
Nangong Jingnv chuckled, she was waiting for Lu Boyan to say this.
Nangong Jingnv: "Speaking of which... Although Zhonglie Hou was adopted by Princess Zhuohua, he did not go to the fief with Princess Zhuohua, but stayed in the capital, right?"
Lu Boyan: "Yes."
Nangong Jingnu: "Marquis Zhonglie is young, who is teaching him now?"
Lu Boyan: "Go back to His Majesty, and he will be raised by his wife personally, and the minister will also inspect his homework from time to time."
Nangong Jingnv: "Oh... Is that so? How did I hear that Marquis Zhonglie didn't study hard in the study room, and gathered a few children from aristocratic families to bully others and speak madly?"
Lu Boyan's face froze, and he replied bravely: "I don't know. But I believe this... Maybe there is something else hidden."
Nangong Jingnu said slowly: "I remember that this child was adopted by your knees before, and after the Hou Zhonglie sacrificed his life for the country, I brought this child back to the ancestral line, and it's only a matter of the past two years, right? ?"
Lu Boyan: "That's right."
Nangong Jingnu: "So who taught that Marquis Zhonglie scolded Princess Yanyang as a 'little bastard' in public?"
Lu Boyan's face changed completely, and the rest of the ministers also understood a little when they heard Her Majesty the Empress say so.
No one in the field is a well-read Confucian, who attaches the most importance to the upbringing of children from aristocratic families. Even if someone is dirty, he will never hurt others. This is the creed that most scholars in Wei Kingdom uphold.
Even though many people's thoughts are similar to those of Marquis Zhonglie, it is still an insult to let them scold them directly.
Lu Boyan: "Your Majesty, this is a big matter, and I hope Your Majesty will look into it."
Nangong Jingnu snorted coldly: "What? Lu Pushe suspects that I can't arrange a child?"
Lu Boyan: "I dare not..."
Nangong Jingnv: "After the Marquis Zhonglie is young and he is a hero, I don't want to embarrass him, but Princess Yanyang is also the princess of the royal family who was given the golden book and jade by the imperial father. You should know the consequences of the investigation. I also don't want to destroy the good relationship between our two families, so, in order to prevent people from making unkind words in the future, I decided to bring Princess Yanyang under her knees and bring her up in person. Pushe and weigh yourself."
One sentence put Lu Boyan into a dilemma: Lu Zhongxing has only one son, and Nangong Jingnv has made it very clear. The reason why she brought Yuxiao to the palace to raise her personally is because Yuxiao was abused by Hou Zhonglie. , but Nian will not pursue it after the other party is loyal.
The guilt of insulting the royal family is not small. If he knows the cause and effect and continues to make trouble, Lu Boyan will definitely bear the infamy of disregarding his brother's orphan.
Lu Boyan: "Chen, I will ask you clearly when you go back. If the matter is true, you will be strictly disciplined. Thank you Your Majesty for Hong En."
Nangong Jingnv: "In this case, all the adults should go back to their respective houses. The imperial decree has been issued, and you have no jokes. Please don't think too much about the Qing family. Hope the royals are insulted."
…
At night, Nangong Jingnv came to the forbidden area of Ganquan Palace. Qi Yan was very surprised. She thought she would not see Nangong Jingnv again after a while.
Nangong Jingnv brought a food box, and the two had dinner together in Qi Yan's bedroom. Nangong Jingnv took the initiative to mention what happened after she left, Qi Yan listened quietly, and replied: "I also feel that, Yuxiao's identity is not suitable for His Majesty to raise him personally."
Nangong Jingnu: "But Yuxiao is your blood relative after all, and I really love this child, and I don't want her to be wronged."
Qi Yan sighed softly and replied, "Sometimes being wronged is not a bad thing, and..." Qi Yan stopped talking in time when she saw Nangong Jingnu's slightly changed face.
Qi Yan felt that Yuxiao's life experience and the environment she was in were destined to suffer grievances all her life.
And... As the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, the honor of being brought up by the emperor himself is too much, and it is not suitable for a child of impure blood such as Yu Xiao, but Qi Yan sees Nangong Jingnu's face and can't hide her loss, and she knows that The other party was kind, so he didn't say any more.
Qi Yan: "Since the imperial decree has already been issued, Jun Wu joking... I will ask Your Majesty to pay more attention in the future."
