On November 15th, the Bai family came to report the funeral. Bai Xinming, the eldest son of the Bai family and Nangong Yun's husband, passed away.
At this time in the previous life, Nangong Yue was only ten years old, and no one told her how her uncle died, and her mother's madness was getting worse at this time in the previous life, so she didn't care about others at all. Take things to heart. And later, after she became the third concubine, she heard occasional mentions from noble ladies in the royal capital that this elder uncle died in a rather embarrassing way. Then during the recovery period, he couldn't wait to drag a maid to the bed and lost her life.
Nangong Yue played with the ring pendant around her waist, thinking in her heart: In the previous life, the eldest uncle's three-year filial piety period had not yet passed, and the eldest aunt Nangong Yun returned home with her cousin Bai Muxiao, and she has lived here for a long time... Thinking of Here, a icy smile appeared on the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth.
Although Su felt sorry for her young and widowed daughter, it did not affect Nangong Mansion, let alone Nangong Yue. A few days after she followed her elders to the White Mansion to express condolences, her shop finally opened.
Early in the morning, Nangong Yue went to the shop with great enthusiasm. She never thought that Jiang Yixi brought a few close friends from her boudoir to congratulate her. They also brought congratulatory gifts, which made Nangong Yue feel moved.
"Sister Yue, your shop has opened!" Jiang Yixi took Nangong Yue's hand and congratulated with a smile on her face, "I brought a few good sisters here today, you won't despise us, will you?"
Nangong Yue showed a sweet smile, waved her hands again and again and said, "Sister Xi, what you said really upset me! You are willing to come, I am happy and it is too late! Come and take a look inside."
"Sister Xi, don't be so polite!" A girl in a fiery red silk double nest cloud goose suit couldn't help but interjected. She has a bright appearance, a hearty temperament, and doesn't have too much feminine and artificial air, "Let this girl introduce us to the products here. I have heard from Sister Xi that the skin care products made by this sister Yue are very easy to use." Incredible!"
This is Ye Rongrong, a girl from the servant's family of the Ministry of War.
"That's natural!" Jiang Yixi said swearingly, and pinched Nangong Yue's fair and juicy face, "You can tell by her skin that her products are easy to use."
Nangong Yue smiled inwardly, she was still young, and her mother had inherited fair and delicate skin to her. Naturally, this complexion was good, but Jiang Yixi helped her so much, so naturally she would not try to tear her down.
"Let me see!" The girls came to watch Nangong Yue one after another, all envious.
In order to set off the shop, Nangong Yue specially wore a peach-pink peach-blossom cloud-mist blouse today, without much decoration. But her skin is fair and delicate, like the finest suet jade, it looks slightly transparent when standing under the light, which greatly adds to her beauty.
"This skin... I really have nothing to say!" Ye Rongrong sighed, "If my skin is half as good as yours, I will be satisfied."
All the girls nodded in agreement.
"It's not just that..." Jiang Yixi continued, "Didn't I get acne on my face a few days ago? After applying the ointment that Sister Yue gave me, the acne disappeared, and now there is no trace of it." !"
"Really?" The girls all gathered around Jiang Yixi, scrutinizing her skin carefully. If it is whitening and moisturizing, although they are interested, they also know that it is a long process; and acne is a common trouble at their age, this thing can grow overnight, but it will not disappear for a long time.
The girls all love beauty, and they are meticulous in their observations. Several of them remember that Jiang Yixi did have acne a few days ago, but it disappeared quickly, and now there is no trace on her face.
Now, they finally knew what panacea Jiang Yixi had used.
With this beginning, the girls became interested in Nangong Yue's shop. Looking carefully at the products in the shop, they found that not only the bottles and jars were carefully designed and specially fired, but even the decorations in the shop were very unique. , which caused them to admire Lianlian, and felt that the shop Jiang Yixi recommended this time was really good.
Seeing that they were interested, Nangong Yue hurriedly stepped forward to recommend products suitable for their skin types. Those girls were also generous, and most of them bought a lot of things back home. Some said they used them for themselves, and some said they gave them away. .
In this way, on the morning of the first day Nangong Yue's shop opened, the business was extremely hot, far exceeding Nangong Yue's expectation!
After sending Jiang Yixi and the others away, Nangong Yue also got into the carriage and prepared to go home. After all, she was just a girl in a boudoir, and the shop had just opened, so it would be fine to come over on a whim. If she stayed in the shop to greet customers, even the Lin family would not promise.
The carriage suddenly stopped along the street, Yimei raised the curtain of the carriage and took a look, then said to Nangong Yue: "Miss San, it seems to be urgent for six hundred miles."
"Six-hundred-mile rush?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. At this time, there is obviously only one possibility for six-hundred-mile rush.
"Jiangnan Great Victory! Jiangnan Great Victory!"
A young general riding a war horse galloped along the avenue, and when she heard the words "Jiangnan Great Victory", Nangong Yue couldn't help being overjoyed. Everything was the same as in the previous life, and obviously the next thing would not be too big accident.
…
The urgent news of six hundred miles was sent from the gate of the city to the palace. The emperor was overjoyed, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also congratulated him in the court hall.
On December 20, General Wei Yang, who made the most contributions in this battle, led his army back to Beijing. The emperor issued a decree to confer the title of Wei Yang general officer as first-rank Marquis Wei Yang, and not only ordered the eldest prince to lead a hundred officials out of the city to welcome him, but also specially held a celebration banquet for him in the palace on the first day of the first lunar month. For a while, the newly released Weiyang Hou was in the limelight.
The famous families in the royal capital have all received the imperial decree to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, and Nangong Mansion is no exception. As Nangong Yue knows, except for the old lady Su, Nangong Qin and his wife, and the brothers and sisters of Nangong Sheng and Nangong Cheng, Nangong Mansion is no exception. The Mu couple and Nangong Yue were also allowed to enter the palace by special decree.
This incident caused a stir in Lin's Qianyun Courtyard and Nangong Yue's Mozhu Courtyard. Although in the previous life, it was common for the master of Nangong Mansion to enter the palace, but in the new dynasty, this was the first time. All the maids waited eagerly, wanting to see who was lucky enough to follow the master into the palace to open their eyes.
In the end, Nangong Yue decided to bring Yimei, who had a stable personality, while Lin took Ruyi—Ruyi did not leave Qianyun Courtyard in the end. Shuangshifang can get married, otherwise I'm afraid there will be bad luck. Lin thinks that Ruyi is capable and can keep her for a few more years, so she agrees.
On the day of the palace banquet, a group of people from the Nangong Mansion all dressed in official uniforms and fancy clothes, and set off towards the palace in a mighty manner.
After entering the palace, Nangong Qin, Nangong Mu, and Nangong Sheng went to the Hall of Zhonghe together; while Su Shi, Zhao Shi, Lin Shi, Nangong Cheng, and Nangong Yue and other women's relatives were led to Fengluan Palace where the queen was. .
In front of Fengluan Palace, a gorgeously dressed figure walked past them. It was Qu Jiayue, Princess of the Mingyue Princess. Today she was wearing a palace gown of flowing colorful dark flowers and cloud brocade, with a smoky hibiscus bun on her hair, and a bright red translucent ruby pendant hanging on her forehead, she looked extremely luxurious.
A sharp light flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, and what happened that day at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival came to mind... It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years!
"See Princess Mingyue!"
The female family members of Nangong Mansion immediately saluted Qu Jiayue according to court etiquette.
Qu Jiayue glanced this way and saw that Nangong Cheng was wearing a brocade skirt with golden silk and white patterns of epiphyllum and rain. Although he was not as gorgeous as himself, Nangong Cheng was already bright and beautiful, and he was not much worse than himself for a while.
Qu Jiayue always looked at people sideways, so that she didn't even look at Nangong Yue.
"Hmph!" Qu Jiayue snorted coldly, and walked into Fengluan Palace as if she hadn't seen Nangong Yue and the others.
For a while, the faces of several female family members of the Nangong family were not very good-looking. Su family said in displeasure: Princess Mingyue did such a thing in Fengluan Palace, it's not them who are ashamed, but Qu Jiayue who doesn't know etiquette!
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little complicated in her heart. Princess Mingyue didn't look at herself at all just now, but she cared so much about her eldest sister Nangong Cheng. It seems that the people that Princess Mingyue targeted at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival were also elder sisters, just because they all wore masks, and because of their clothes that day. Similarly, it was my own bad luck that happened by accident! But even if they admit their mistakes, so what, they are settled!
After the maids went to report, they were led into Fengluan Palace to pay homage to the queen.
"The empress is a thousand years old!"
Nangong Yue and her family knelt in the hall to salute the queen, who immediately asked them to stand up.
Taking advantage of the moment when she got up, Nangong Yue glanced at the seat above, and saw a small figure beside the queen, who was the fifth prince. The fifth prince has been staring at Nangong Yue from the moment Nangong Yue entered the palace. Seeing that she finished the salute, he ran down thumpingly, came to Nangong Yue, and laughed, with two small dimples on the corners of his mouth.
"Sister Yue, you are finally here!"
"My daughter has met the fifth prince." Nangong Yue saluted the fifth prince first, and then imitated the tone of the fifth prince and said, "Yes, my daughter is here again!"
The Su family, Zhao family and Nangong Cheng saw that the fifth prince liked Nangong Yue very much the last time they entered the palace, so they didn't care too much. But Lin was surprised and happy for her daughter.
The queen didn't say anything, but secretly ordered Nanny Li to look at the fifth prince.
"Hmph!" At this moment, a cold snort came from not far away, Nangong Yue and the Fifth Prince couldn't help but look around, it turned out to be Qu Jiayue, the lord of Mingyue County.
Qu Jiayue quickly smiled, and said, "Fifth prince, you have a noble status, how can you be with such a mess! Let me talk with you." She said and gave Nangong Yue a disgusted look , I thought to myself: In terms of kinship, she can also be regarded as the cousin of the fifth prince. What kind of thing is this Nangong Yue!
