Qi Yan frowned: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."
Nangong Lie smiled more and more arrogantly, wrapping his arms around Qi Yan's neck.
The two were of the same stature, Nangong Lie leaned forward with the strength of the wine, Qi Yan tilted his head at the critical moment, and Nangong Lie's lips pressed against Qi Yan's face.
Qi Yan suppressed the disgust in her heart and said coldly, "Your Highness, please let go."
Nangong Shunv stood still, Nangong Jingnv took the opportunity to break free, dragged her long palace skirt to the side of Nangong Lie, lifted her leg and kicked him in the crook of his leg.
Nangong Lie frowned in pain, Qi Yan forcefully separated the opponent's arm and took a few steps back.
Nangong Jingnu's pretty face turned pale, she pointed at Nangonglie and shouted sharply, "Nangonglie! Do you know how to spell the word "shame"? You have lost all the royal family's face!"
Nangong Lie licked his lips, his eyes full of enjoyment.
Turning his head to look at Nangong Jingnu, he sneered: "Who am I to be so rude, it turns out to be a little girl. This is not surprising."
"You!" Nangong Jing shivered in femininity, raised her palm and hit Nangong Lie.
"Quiet girl!" Nangong Shunv exclaimed.
However, Nangong Lie, who could not stand still, actually grabbed Nangong Jingnu's wrist firmly, the latter exclaimed in pain, clenched his teeth and stared at Nangong Lie angrily.
Qi Yan rushed forward, grabbed Nangong Lie's wrist, and said coldly, "Sixth Highness, please let go."
Nangong Shunv and Fifth Prince Nangong Da also stepped forward and persuaded respectively, "Sixth, don't let go!"
"Brother Six Emperors, please let go."
The other princes also showed their support and ordered Nangong Lie to let go.
Nangong Lie squinted a pair of drunken eyes and looked around for a week, with a strange smile on his face: "Oh, are you all blind? Didn't you see who moved the hand first?" He let out another cry of pain, and kicked Nangong Lie again.
Nangong Lie laughed: "Have you seen it? This is our arrogant and domineering sister!"
Qi Yan's eyes sank, pressing Nangong Lie's hand holding Nangong Jingnu, pressing on an acupoint in the tiger's mouth, and forcibly breaking Nangong Lie's thumb.
Nangong Jingnu felt the strength on her wrist loosen and broke free. Covering his wrist, he glared at Nangong Lie angrily.
The masked man is skilled in medicine. Although Qi Yan has only learned some skins, he is also proficient in acupuncture points of the human body. He exerted a dark energy on a certain acupoint of Nangong Lie, making the opponent's entire forearm numb.
Nangong Shunv hugged Nangong Jingnv's arm distressedly: "Show me!"
Nangong Lie clutched his drooping arm, his face gloomy.
Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Nangong Lie suddenly kicked Qi Yan!
This foot slammed heavily on the lower abdomen, and Qi Yan took a few steps back before barely stabilizing her body.
"Qi Yan!"
"Sixth!"
Nangong Jingnu supported Qi Yan and asked with concern, "It's okay for you?"
When the second prince and the third prince saw the trouble, they held Nangong Lie from the left and the right, and shouted sharply, "Sixth, don't lose your senses."
"Father is coming, how do you look like this?"
Sweat dripped from Qi Yan's forehead, covered her lower abdomen with one hand and shook her head, staring at Nangong Jingnu with guilt-filled eyes, and asked with a trembling voice, "Is Your Highness alright?"
Nangong Jingnu's nose was sour and her eyes were red: "Don't be afraid, this palace will never give up on this matter."
Nangong Lie shouted: "Qi Yan, right? Ben Gong remembered it."
Nangong Jingnu was about to speak out, but she stopped when she saw Qi Yan looking at herself with pleading eyes.
Qi Yan stood up straight and bowed to Nangong Lie: "This kick is paid for by His Highness Zhen Zhen. Although Qi Yan is a quiet person, if His Highness Sixth Highness hurts Jing Nv in the slightest, this minister will risk death and report to His Majesty."
Qi Yan's voice was not loud but her words were firm. Amber's eyes burst out with a dazzling aura, her thin body was stiff and straight, and she looked at Nangong Lie from a distance without fear.
At this moment, standing beside Nangong Jingnu was not the cowardly Sheng Qiyan, but the son of the prairie tiger, Qiyan Agula.
Nangong Lie forgot to struggle and stared blankly at those amber eyes.
Nangong Wang and Nangong Wei took the opportunity to pull the person away. Just now, Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnu's frowning brows because of the pain, and then clenched her teeth and refused to admit defeat. The anger in her heart spread silently.
For a moment, she forgot that everyone in this hall was the enemy of the grassland, and she couldn't help but take action.
Qi Yan sighed and walked around to Nangong Jingnu, blocking everyone's eyes with her back.
Nangong Shunv came over: "Jingnv..."
Qi Yan's eyes only fell on Nangong Jingnu: "Can you ask the second sister to move?"
"Okay... The emperor is coming soon, my brother-in-law will persuade the quiet girl."
Nangong Shunv left, Qi Yan took Nangong Jingnv's hand: "Rong Chen, let's take a look?"
Without waiting for Nangong Jingnv to answer, Qi Yan lifted Nangong Jingnv's sleeve: there was a faint red handprint on her wrist.
Qi Yan pulled Guangxiu back to its original position in silence, but did not let go of Nangong Jingnu's hand.
Nangong Jingnu showed a rare quietness and meekness, sniffed, and said softly, "Are you okay?"
Qi Yan coaxed softly, "This minister has rough skin and thick flesh, so it's fine."
"Don't worry, this palace will seek justice for you."
"Your Highness."
"Um?"
"This matter..."
Nangong Jingnu grabbed the white and said, "You are not allowed to intercede!"
Qi Yan slowly let go of Nangong Jingnu's hand: "His Royal Highness, listen to the next word of the minister. Next, go back to Weiyang Palace to discuss again, okay?"
Nangong Jingnu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Your Highness, please remember that this matter must not be mentioned to Your Majesty."
"This palace knows."
Nangong Wei and Nangong Wang sent the sixth prince out of the hall, and told the servants to send Nangong Lie back to the house. Seeing that the hour had come, Si Jiu walked to the inner hall.
The people in the hall returned to their respective positions, as if nothing had happened.
"His Majesty is here!"
Nangong Rang's guards of honor first filed out from the inner hall and stood on both sides of the imperial road. Nangong let him walk out accompanied by Si Jiu, wearing a grand nine-dragon court dress.
All the people in the hall knelt down on the ground and shouted, "See Father Emperor."
Nangong Rang stepped up to a high position, sat on the dragon chair and raised his hand: "No ceremony and level."
"Thank you, Father."
Nangong Rang glanced at it and asked, "Where's the sixth?"
Qi Yan heard the clue, and Nangong asked a total of nine sons and three daughters, four of whom did not come.
In addition to the first prince Nangong Ping, there are also Princess Qionghua Nangong Sunu, and the seventh prince Nangong Li.
Why did Nangong Rang only ask Nangong Lie
The second prince, Nangong Wei, replied: "Reporting to the emperor, the sixth brother came here. Because of the sudden discomfort, the son and the third brother sent the sixth brother out of the hall and ordered someone to send him back to the mansion. On behalf of the emperor, "wait for his pain to ease a little, and then come to ask the emperor to apologize"."
Nangong Rang snorted coldly, "That's it."
"I... obeyed the will of God, and I have been on the throne for more than ten years in response to the feelings of the people, and I did not dare to slack off for a day. You are in the blood of the royal family, and you should follow the example of your father: be thrifty and abide by your duties."
"Yes, my son obeys the teachings of the emperor."
"Now the four seas are at peace, and the world is at peace. A few years of recuperation have finally wiped away the poor and weak foundations of the previous dynasty. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the treasury is surplus, there are good generals outside, and there are worthy ministers inside. I have passed the year of destiny, my body If it is not as good as before, if you are fortunate enough to make the people rich, you will have no regrets if you die."
Nangong Wei took the lead and knelt to the ground: "My son, please ask the emperor to protect the dragon's body."
Nangong Rang let out a long sigh and said leisurely: "Although the divine tortoise has an end in its life, the snake rides through the fog and turns into ashes. I, even though I am the Son of Heaven, cannot live forever. You are in my blood, and you must remember my teachings today. . Solid state □ □, must be like this."
"My son, obey the teachings!"
"I have decided to go to Yongzhou to worship the ancestors during Qingming, Wei'er."
The second prince, Nangong Wei, came out and knelt down in the middle of the hall: "My son is here."
"You stay in Beijing to supervise the country for me, and all the other princes and princesses will accompany me."
Nangong Wei was overjoyed and bowed three times: "My son obeys the decree, and he must fulfill his duties and live up to his father's high expectations."
In all dynasties, only the crown prince has the right to supervise the country. This will to Nangong Wei is of great significance.
The second prince's compatriot, Nangong Zhen, also had a happy expression on his face, while the expression of the fifth prince, Nangongda, was still light and did not fluctuate.
The third prince, Nangong Wang, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Let's go, follow me to worship the late emperor."
"Yes."
The former emperor refers to the former emperor of Shang Dynasty. Because Nangong Rang did not "usurp the throne and rebellion", he would visit the former imperial temple every New Year's Eve, and even his own ancestral tomb was not called the emperor's mausoleum, and was still buried in the old site of Yongzhou.
Several servants pushed open the door of the temple together, and Si Jiu took the lead on the imperial steps and sang loudly, "Let's drive to the Tai Temple."
Outside Ganquan Palace, Taipu Temple, which is in charge of the royal guard of honor, and Taipu Temple, which is in charge of patrolling the palace, are already on standby, and everyone boarded the sedan chair and headed towards the Tai Temple.
Gongyangzhong, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, and other officials were waiting at the entrance of the Taimiao Temple, and the three sacrifices and related ritual vessels were ready.
Nangong Rang personally lit Gao incense and inserted it into the cauldron, and took the sacrificial text from Gong Yangzhong.
Everyone knelt down, and Nangong Rang stood alone in front of the Taimiao Temple and proclaimed a splendid sacrificial text.
Qi Yan couldn't help sneering: A usurper who had been a rebel for four hundred years of the previous dynasty, stood in front of the imperial temple of the previous dynasty in imperial clothes to announce the achievements of the previous year and cherish the memory of the previous dynasty
If the ancestors of the previous dynasty were really alive, Nangong Rang would have been struck to death by lightning long ago.
To interpret the hypocrite to this point, Nangong Rang can be described as timeless.
After the sacrifice was over, it was past noon, and everyone had been frozen in this ice and snow for two hours. Nangong waved his sleeves and asked everyone to go back to the palace to bathe and change their clothes, preparing to participate in the evening palace banquet.
Nangong Jingnv and Qi Yan came to the sedan chair, Qiu Ju immediately tied a cape for her, and Chuntao handed the warm stove to Nangong Jingnv's hands.
Nangong Jingnu's fingers rubbed the gold embroidered pattern on the stove cover, and glanced at Chuntao: "Where's the concubine's?"
Chuntao hurriedly knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness forgives your sins, it's the servant's negligence..."
"Not yet?"
Qi Yan persuaded: "The wind is blowing, please get on the sedan chair first, your servant is not cold."
Nangong Jingnu gave Qi Yan her hand stove, tightened her cloak and boarded the sedan chair.
