The rain is coming, the wind is filling the building
Nangong Shunvxiu blushed, pushed away Ji Ya and supported her body to sit up.
Ji Ya stood up from the bed and said with a smile, "You are here too?"
Qi Yan raised her arm and bowed, "See Niangniang."
Nangong Jingnu hurried to the bedside and took Nangong Shunv's hand: "Second sister, is it okay for you?"
Nangong Shunv shook her head: "Ya Niangniang just wanted to touch Ben Gong's head to see if it was hot..."
Ji Ya took the conversation and continued: "I accidentally stumbled on this board!" Pointing to the footsteps in front of the bed, he continued: "We don't have this kind of thing in the grasslands, and I still haven't gotten used to it when I came to the palace for a few months. "
Nangong Shu Nu blushed and nodded: "That's it."
Seeing that Nangong Shu was only wearing her tunic, Qi Yan said, "My minister, go for a walk in the yard."
Ji Ya sat next to Nangong Shunv, raised her hand and touched her forehead: "It's basically not hot anymore, just drink a few more soups."
"Thank you, Lady Ya."
"Then you sisters talk to me, and I'll go back first."
"Little sister, can you send Niangniang Ya for my sister?"
Nangong Jingnu got up but was pressed back by Jiya: "No need, I'm leaving."
…
After Ji Ya left, Nangong Jingnu also raised her hand and taped Nangong Shunv's forehead: "What did the imperial doctor say?"
Nangong Shunv glanced in the direction of the entrance of the hall, grabbed Nangong Jingnv's hand and asked, "What rumors have you heard these days when Ben Gong was sick?"
"The elder brother is gone, and the royal father banned the sixth brother and released Li Zhaorong from the palace."
"Hey... Ben Gong also heard about this, what about the other side?"
"What is the second sister referring to?"
Nangong Shunv pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Is there anything the Taiwei's mansion has to say?"
Nangong Jingnu shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, do you want me to help you find out?"
Nangong Shunv leaned on the cushion: "No need, it's nothing to worry about. Otherwise, the emperor would have summoned this palace long ago."
"What happened?!"
Nangong Shu Nu took a deep breath: "I stabbed Lu Zhongxing with a hairpin."
"what?!"
…
It turned out that one day after Nangong Jing's birthday, Lu Zhongxing came to the princess' mansion very drunk and rushed to the study despite the maid's dissuasion to have a theory with Nangong Shu.
Nangong Shunv was worried that Lu Zhongxing was talking nonsense after drinking, so the maid listened to it and sent the servants back. I wanted to talk to Lu Zhongxing calmly, but he would say a lot of filthy words.
Nangong Shunv was not speculative when she saw it, and she was completely disappointed with this man, and planned to order the servants today to not allow him to enter the palace again.
As a result, Lu Zhongxing dragged her back as soon as she reached the door of the study, pressed her to the bookshelf, and asked her with red eyes why she wanted, begging for dissatisfaction...
Nangong Shunv was extremely frightened, and suddenly remembered what Jiya told her to pull off the golden hairpin on her head and stab Lu Zhongxing's neck, blood sprayed on Nangong Shunv's face, and she was completely panicked.
Lu Zhongxing stumbled away clutching his neck, Nangong Shunv sat on the ground with her legs limp as she looked at the drop of blood that stretched to the door.
Then he brought the water basin in person, took care of the blood on the ground, sweated and was blown by the cold wind, and was frightened, and fell ill that night.
Nangong Shunv sighed softly: "The next day, Niangniang sent me an order to accompany her in the palace. The servant who sent the order might tell Niangniang the news when I saw that I was seriously ill, and she would come that afternoon."
Nangong Jingnu stared blankly at her second sister, speechless for a while.
Nangong Shunv said again, "Niangniang Ya comes when she has time these days. Thanks to her, I feel a lot more at ease. At least she doesn't dare to go wild in Lu Zhongxing."
"It's all my fault... I should have come to see the second sister earlier."
Nangong Shunv burst into a pale smile: "You and your brother-in-law can be reconciled as before is what the second sister hopes to see most, and Ben Gong's illness is not a serious problem."
Nangong Jingnu said angrily: "Lu Zhongxing is too much, what qualifications does a foreign minister have to treat the princess like this?"
Nangong Shunv sneered: "It's nice to enjoy the cool under the big tree, do you think that the concubines in the world are as gentle and courteous as a brother-in-law? He is the son of the Taiwei's mansion, with a noble status and eyes above the top, but this palace is not favored. It's just a princess, what's there to worry about?"
"Second sister!"
Nangong Shunv patted the back of Nangong Jingnv's hand, and said weakly, "Bengong is not strong enough, don't argue with Bengong, just listen to me."
"Um."
Nangong Shunv sighed faintly: "I used to hold it all the time, but now I look back and think about it, but I just don't know what to do. These things... I have always understood this, but I just hide it in my heart and refuse to mention it to anyone. This time, I saw it, but since ancient times, women have paid attention to three obedience and four virtues. Although our three sisters were born in a royal family, there are many things that we can't help ourselves. Although the eldest sister is not directly born, she is the eldest daughter. She has a free and easy temperament, plus Concubine Shangli's mother's family is distinguished, and it's different. I don't need to say it. If you are not the first-born or the eldest mother, you are not favored. Marrying the son of a powerful official family, bumps are inevitable. You... "
Nangong Shunv took a few breaths and continued: "You are the most honorable princess in the inner court, favored by your father and emperor, and your brother-in-law is a gentle and courteous, and will surely be happy in your life. But what the second sister wants to say today is to advise you to cherish it. Brother-in-law, this To tell the truth... Ben Gong can't see through him. Maybe it's because he's been in bed for a while and he's just thinking about it. I always feel that my brother-in-law is not as simple as it seems. The Japanese Palace on your birthday had a few words with him at the Lake Heart Pavilion. …”
Nangong Jingnu's heart tightened: "What did the second sister tell him?"
Nangong Shunv thoughtfully replied: "Zuo is just trying to persuade her to cherish the people in front of her, but I feel that he didn't take my words into his heart, and there was a dispute over this... Forget it. Don't say this, but he knelt in public in the main hall. I advise you to drink less, Ben Gong thought about it for a few days and always felt that what he did was different from what he showed, I don’t know if I was thinking too much.”
Nangong Jingnu seemed to understand, but she instinctively chose to trust Qi Yan and explained: "Second sister doesn't know something, Qi Yan is actually a very proud person. Although he does seem to be a little stern at times, he treats me well. It's excellent, and I would never have done that if I hadn't really cared about it."
Nangong Shunv couldn't help but sigh: the authorities are crazy.
If you are really proud, how can you kneel in public? But she thought about it for a few days and couldn't figure out what purpose Qi Yan would have. He had already married the most expensive princess in the Wei Kingdom, and the glory and wealth were endless, what else could he not be satisfied with
Seeing that her second sister didn't speak, Nangong Jingnv thought it was Qi Yan's opposition that made Nangong Shunv feel grumpy, and shook her arm: "Second sister, if there is anything wrong with Qi Yan, I will apologize for him, We are reconciled as before, and he treats me very well, so don't be angry."
Nangong Shunv saw Nangong Jingnv's shy expression and the suspicious blush on her cheeks, and asked, "Little sister, you..."
"Huh?" Seeing the searching gaze of the other party, the kiss between her and Qi Yan suddenly flashed across Nangong Jingnu's mind, and her face turned red.
Nangong Shunv's heart was clear, and most of her doubts went away: since these two have already performed the ceremony of Duke Zhou, maybe it's just her own delusion.
Nangong Shunv said again: "I heard that the red light in front of the princess's palace was hung for several days?"
Nangong Jingnu's eyes widened: "How did the second sister know?"
"It was the concubine Yafei who told this palace."
"How did she know?"
Nangong Shunv couldn't help laughing: "I must have heard from others, maybe it's the father?"
Nangong Jingnv couldn't sit still at all: "What? Father also knows!?"
Nangong Shunv took her little sister and sat down: "What's so strange? The maid in charge of the palace will record the important events in the house and report it to the inner court division on the 15th of every month. You are the jewel in the palm of the father's father, and he naturally cares more about you. Some."
Nangong Jingnu covered her flushed face: "Qiu Ju is also true! What is this big deal?"
"Of course it's a big deal. It's the biggest thing in the princess' house. Don't blame her. She just acts according to the palace rules."
Nangong Jingnu's cheeks were hot, she simply rushed to Nangong Shunv's side and buried her head on the pillow.
Nangong Shunv looked relieved, although she has come this far, she has no regrets to see her little sister happy.
She caressed Nangong Jingnu's back and said softly, "However... it shouldn't be too frequent to hold a lamp, you have to learn to control it."
Nangong Jingnu bounced off the bed and waved her hands again and again: "No, no, he and I were on the morning of the next birthday..."
Nangong Shunv stared blankly at her little sister, her expression a little broken, always dignified and self-controlled: "Morning?"
Nangong Jingnu was embarrassed. She didn't realize that she and Nangong Shunv were not thinking the same thing at all.
He said, "I won't tell you!" After that, he hurried out.
…
Qi Yan was standing under the pavilion. The afternoon sun shone on her body, casting a thin halo on her body. When she heard the voice, Qi Yan turned her head and smiled slightly, which made Nangong Jingnu look a little crazy. .
"Why did Your Highness come out so quickly? Why don't you chat with the second sister for a while?"
The temperature of Nangong Jingnu's cheeks rose again, and she walked quickly to Qi Yan and felt the concern in the other's eyes, her heart pounding like a deer.
She grabbed Qi Yan's arm and shook it: "Second sister bullied me~."
Qi Yan chuckled and raised her hand to wipe away the thin sweat from Nangong Jingnu's nose: "The weather has turned cold these few days, go back and remind Qiu Ju to bring a cloak out."
"You don't even ask why the second sister bullied me?" Nangong Jingnu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural: isn't she acting like a cocoon
Qi Yan smiled and took Nangong Jingnv's hand: "His Royal Highness is generous and will not be angry."
Nangong Jingnu just went down the steps: "You're right."
The two left hand in hand, but Jiya came out from behind the rockery.
She just stood here and said to Qi Yan, there was no maid at the door to serve Ji Ya, so she pushed open the door of the dormitory directly.
An exclamation came from behind the screen, and Nangong Shun scolded, "Who?!"
"it's me."
Nangong Shunv asked suspiciously while putting on her clothes, "Niangniang Yafei?"
"Well, I was going to leave, but when I thought of coming here to see you today, you went back without saying three words. Wouldn't it be a loss?"
Nangong Shunv sighed softly: "Miss Yafei, please wait, I'll be fine right away."
Nangong Shunv was sweating lightly, and was about to wipe it off. Just after taking off her clothes, Ji Ya left and returned.
Nangong Shunv came out of the screen and sat opposite Jiya, who handed over half of the oranges she had just peeled.
Nangong Shunv: "Thank you."
Ji Ya ate the remaining oranges in one bite, swallowed them and said suddenly, "I won't be coming from tomorrow."
"Empress Yafei doesn't have to do this, you don't have to tell me such trivial things as an elder."
Ji Ya smiled: "I never regarded you as a junior."
Looking at Ji Yaying's glittering eyes, Nangong Shu was at a loss for words, but she didn't know what to pick up. She has been with Jiya for so long, but she still can't get used to her straightforwardness.
Ji Ya swept over half an orange in Nangong Shu's hand: "Why don't you eat it?"
Nangong Shunv had no choice but to eat the oranges under the watchful eyes of Ji Ya, and Ji Ya said again: "You and your concubine have made such a fuss, haven't you thought about clutching?"
Nangong Shunv frowned slightly: "What is the meaning of Niangniang Yafei?" Nangong Shunv did have this idea, but the other party's prominent family background is too involved, and it's not a glorious thing...
Ji Ya ignored it and continued: "Don't rush to answer me first, think about it carefully. If you want, I can help you... "
Ji Ya boarded the carriage back to the palace, and Qi Yan's words rang in her ears.
She deliberately hid behind the rockery and waited for Qi Yan, just to ask Qi Yan's next plan.
The Nangong royal family has died of an imperial heir, and Ji Ya concluded that Qi Yan will not do it again in the short term.
As a result, Qi Yan did not answer this time. She stared at Ji Ya with a cruel look in her eyes and a deep smile.
A possibility flashed in Ji Ya's heart, and she felt that Qi Yan's move was too bold, she asked: "You want to move the Taiwei's mansion?"
Qi Yan was undecided.
Ji Ya was extremely angry and roared: "You promised me that I would save Nangong Shun until the end!"
Qi Yan raised her hand and broke off a dead branch, and said coldly, "Don't worry, His Highness Zhen Zhen will definitely be able to protect her." It was equivalent to acquiescing to Ji Ya's speculation.
That's why Ji Ya will go and return. She gave Nangong Shunv a choice, and the key is in her own hands.
That night, a red light was hung in front of the bedroom of Princess Zhen Zhen's mansion again.
In the darkness, Nangong Jingnu hesitated for a long time, then she mustered up the courage to pull Qi Yan's sleeve.
"Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu got into Qi Yan's arms and felt shy in her heart. Would Qi Yan think she was "shameless"? But I miss him so much...
Since the first intimacy, Nangong Jingnu felt that her heart was growing like grass, and her thoughts spread wildly.
Sometimes when Qi Yan was by her side, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
"Qi Yan..."
"Yes."
"Can you... can you be like that day, that day..."
Qi Yan's breathing stagnated, and she rolled over and overturned on Nangong Jingnv's body. Nangong Jingnv's heart was pounding, and the next moment finally came what she was expecting.
With the previous experience, Qi Yan became a lot more proficient, and quickly kissed each other deeply.
It's just a little more domineering than the last time, occasionally tearing at each other's lips with her teeth, Nangong Jingnu grabbed Qi Yan's shirt and fell deeply into this kiss.
The next day, Qi Yan went directly back to the private house and wrote two letters of worship to Qian Yuan.
One was sent to Xie An's mansion, and the other was sent to the mansion of the second prince, Nangong Wei, to the guests in the mansion: Gu Feng, Gu Chunshu.
It's been a few months since the last goodbye, it's time to meet the old man for a while.
Just after noon, Gu Feng appeared in the private room on time.
He bowed respectfully: "Gu Feng has seen the concubine."
Qi Yan returned a flat salute: "Brother Chunshu, please take a seat. Today, I just call my name for the sake of my fellow member, Brother Chunshu."
"Don't dare, let's call you Mr. Qi."
Qi Yan looked at Gu Feng and said with a smile, "Brother Chunshu is refreshed, he must have made a big splash in the Second Highness's mansion?"
Gu Feng's brows raised, and although he deliberately restrained himself, he still revealed his pride, and bowed his hands to Qi Yan: "Young Master Qi is too famous."
Qi Yan said straight to the point: "To be honest, I invited Brother Chunshu to come here today to sell a favor."
"Oh? What does Mr. Qi say?"
"Speaking of it, it's not a big deal, but I just heard a few small talk from the person beside the pillow. I'm here to transfer brother Chunshu."
"Master Qi, please speak."
Gu Feng couldn't help sitting up straight, Princess Zhen Zhen's favor is known all over the world.
"As a royal minister, I shouldn't be involved in these things, I just hope Brother Haruki will be tighter and don't send me out."
"Young Master Qi, don't worry, you are very strict!"
Qi Yan said with a light smile: "My highness entered the palace a few days ago to greet him. Hearing that your majesty seems to be a candidate for the crown prince is quite distressed.
"Is this true?!"
Qi Yan chuckled: "His Royal Highness chatted with me, but I didn't hear it with my own ears. Brother Haruki, please go back and think for yourself."
…
Qi Yan walked out of the Peony Building and walked directly to the Xie Mansion, and when night fell, the Third Prince Nangong looked over.
"Brother-in-law said there is something important to discuss?"
"Yes, I met a friend last year's Shangyuan Festival, with the surname Gu, the first name Feng, and the word Chunshu. He entered the palace examination in the same year as the minister, but his ranking was not good, so he sought a position of staff in the Second Prince's Mansion."
Nangong Wang frowned, some dislike Qi Yan's association with Nangong Wei's people.
Qi Yan took the initiative to explain: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, this minister is only loyal to His Highness. This time, this minister has obtained an important piece of information from Gu Feng, and I also ask His Highness to prepare early."
"what?"
"According to Gu Feng, the Second Highness has frequently met privately with Lu Boyan, the eldest son of the Taiwei's Mansion, and only takes him alone and orders him to guard outside the door. It seems that he is talking about something important..."
Nangong Wang thought for a while and then figured it out: "You mean the second child is colluding with the Taiwei's mansion?"
"It is very likely that now that the old affairs of China are being brought up again, the eldest prince's remonstrance from the courtiers has become more and more frequent. Although Lord Taiwei recently said that he was ill and avoided the court, his words are still very important. Lord Lu, as a hero of the founding of the country, It is His Majesty's sworn brother, if he also stands by His Highness, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to His Highness."
Nangong Wang gritted his teeth with hatred: "The second child has always been on good terms with the two sons of the Taiwei's Mansion, and at the birthday banquet, he was very courteous to Zhuohua's concubine.
"The second prince has already made the first move, and His Highness is a little passive when it comes to making friends with the elders of Lu. It is better to retreat and find a new way, and invite Zhuohua's concubine to have a good word in front of Taiwei Lu. Even if he refuses to support His Royal Highness, it is good to remain neutral. ."
