"Meet the concubine mother!"
In the Jingyang Palace, the third prince Han Lingfu respectfully saluted Concubine Zhang who was sitting on the five-surrounding screen carved with carved arhats on the bed.
Concubine Zhang lazily raised her hand and waved away the maids in the palace, then said: "Your Majesty, sit down."
Han Lingfu and Concubine Zhang sat across the case, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke with difficulty: "Mother concubine called Erchen to come over, but because of the matter that Erchen was scolded by the emperor yesterday?"
Concubine Zhang's charming red phoenix eyes raised slightly, and she asked, "Emperor, what's going on?"
A glint of anger flashed across Han Lingfu's eyebrows, and he said, "Yesterday, I received a secret letter from the Xirong envoy asking Erchen to go to the Cangchun Tower to have a talk. Who would have thought that after arriving at the Cangchun Tower, the two Xirong people talked about it?" He didn't tell the truth, he was extremely cunning! Not long after my son sat down, the people from Wucheng Bingmasi suddenly came..." He clearly explained what happened in the Cangchun Building and the Imperial Study Room last night. Tell Concubine Zhang exactly.
In the end he sighed helplessly: "Finally, Xiao Yi didn't tell my father that my minister was meeting with the envoys of Xirong, otherwise my minister would not just be punished for copying books..."
"Don't you think this is too coincidental?" Concubine Zhang frowned, and said thoughtfully, "There are so many brothels in the capital, why did Xiao Yi search for the remnants of the previous dynasty to find the Cangchunlou I’m gone. Huang’er, do you think Xiao Yi colluded with the envoys of Xirong to deliberately lure you to the Cangchun Tower in order to frame you?”
"Impossible?" The third prince was stunned, and said disapprovingly, "If Xiao Yi has such a city and such a skill, does the mother concubine think that the father will still favor him so much?"
If it is said that the ones who understand the emperor's thoughts best are these princes who are about to grow up. The emperor wants to use them, but he is afraid that they will be too powerful and will take away his emperor's rights, or even take away the throne.
And Zhennan King's threat to the emperor is not weaker than that of the prince. The 200,000 Zhennan Army is registered by the court, but this Zhennan King is the emperor of the southern border. Who knows how many private soldiers he has raised. The Southern King supported his troops to stand on his own, and I am afraid that even the imperial court would be helpless for a while. In this world, when it comes to the people the emperor fears the most, Zhennan King and the future Zhennan King are definitely at the top.
Concubine Zhang pursed her red lips slightly, admitting that what her son said was indeed reasonable. After the prince of Zhennan arrived in the capital, he didn't do anything serious except hanging out with a group of dandies, teasing cats and walking dogs. That is to say, the day of the palace change was lucky, and I got a rescue.
Han Lingfu and Concubine Zhang exchanged glances, and they both wanted to go to one place.
He pondered for a while, and said again: "Father is very fond of Xiao Yi now, the eldest brother and the second brother are trying to win Xiao Yi's support, if they break up with Xiao Yi now, it will definitely do a lot of harm and no benefit. Xiao Yi This time, it should just be a warning to me, otherwise there is no need to let it go like this." After all, it was a big mistake for me to meet with the envoys of Xirong in secret, and if I go to the emperor, it will not only hurt the elder brother and the emperor The chance of the second emperor's brother falling into trouble, and the king's heart is unpredictable, no one can guarantee whether the emperor will completely abandon himself because of this matter.
Now that the concubine mother has been demoted from a first-rank imperial concubine to a second-rank concubine, if she provokes the disgust of her father, then the supreme position may really be out of her reach!
Although he was still very unwilling, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still had to fight for Xiao Yi to stand on his side!
King Zhennan, who can ignore the huge interests that the future King Zhennan can represent!
Thoughts were spinning in his heart, Han Lingfu narrowed his eyes halfway, made up his mind, and said to Concubine Zhang: "Concubine Mother, since Xiao Yi has taken a fancy to Princess Yaoguang, you and Second Sister Huang should stop." Nangong Yue, a complex light flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes. He used to have some interest in Princess Yaoguang. As a concubine, she will definitely have great benefits. Letting Nangong Yue go to marry is really a compromise for the marriage between the second princess and Xiao Yi... It seems that now, he really has no choice but to give up Nangong Yue.
"But your second imperial sister..." Concubine Zhang frowned lightly, still a little bit tangled.
"Mother and concubine, you should persuade the second sister to give up!" Han Lingfu decisively interrupted Zhang Fei, "In short, regarding the marriage, I will find a way, and I will not let the second sister marry Xirong." There are quite a few women from the clan and ministers who have been conferred as princesses to marry and marry on their behalf, but this prominent lady is not just Princess Yaoguang!
As he said that, his expression froze, and he said solemnly: "Mother Concubine, you must persuade Second Sister Huang to stop having any wrong thoughts, if some private affairs of the son and daughter hinder the son's grand plan... then it is really because of it." Small loss is big!"
As soon as she heard that it would affect the third prince's road to succession, Concubine Zhang gritted her teeth and said: "Prince, don't worry, with your second sister, the concubine mother will persuade her."
Han Lingfu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Concubine Mother, in fact, if the second sister really has a deep love for Xiao Yi and wants to marry Xiao Yi, it is not because she has no chance at all. Ehuang and Nvying have existed since ancient times, but father may not I will not agree. The most important thing now is to solve the difficulty of reconciliation first, and we can slowly plan the rest."
Concubine Zhang hooked her phoenix eyes and looked at Han Lingfu with a half-smile. She, the emperor, actually played the method of hitting a stick and giving a candy to his imperial sister! But what the emperor said is right, at this critical moment, we still have to take care of the overall situation! There is not only one man in this world Xiao Yi!
Seeing that Concubine Zhang knew what was in her mind, Han Lingfu got up with confidence and said, "Concubine Mother, the day after tomorrow is the day to sacrifice to heaven. I still need to fast and take a bath in these two days, so I will take my leave first!"
Concubine Zhang waved her hand casually, "Go ahead." As for her, she still has to think about how to appease Haoxue...
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day when the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven.
Nangong Sheng was already married, so only Nangong Qin, Nangong Cheng, and Nangong Yue in Nangong Mansion were on the list of driving to sacrifice to heaven.
Worshiping the sky was held at about 6 o'clock in the morning, but the royal garden was still some distance away from the capital, so before dawn, everyone in Nangong Mansion got up early, and their cars arrived at the gate of the palace first to meet with the cars of the officials. At this time, the sky just showed fish belly white.
It wasn't until the auspicious time of Qintian's supervision arrived that the crowd followed the royal driver to the royal garden in the eastern suburbs of the capital.
An hour later, the carriage finally stopped, and the sound of silk and bamboo music came from outside the carriage, solemn and majestic.
After a while, Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng got off the Zhulun carriage with the help of their maidservants. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sky was covered with continuous white clouds, which blocked the first sun, and the weather was slightly cool.
Nangong Yue raised her eyes to look at the sky, and felt that her mood at this moment was the same as today's weather, gloomy and slightly irritable. One day later, it will be the day she and Xiao Yi agreed upon, but until now, she still hasn't made up her mind.
For a moment, a naive idea appeared in her mind, let time stop completely at this moment, that would be fine...
The hustle and bustle outside quickly attracted her attention, and she saw that the entrance of the royal garden was already crowded with people, and every few steps there were guards from the Imperial Forest Army in armor, all of whom had swords on their waists, and each of these Imperial Forest Army guards had expressions on their faces. Cool, with a solemn face, exuding an aura that idlers should not approach.
The carriages of hundreds of officials formed a long queue, with no end in sight at a glance, which was extremely spectacular. Officials and their legitimate children got off the bus one by one according to their grades. Nangong Yue is the owner of a first-rank princess, and the Zhulun car she was riding in was not too far behind. She could see the emperor and empress walking towards the garden surrounded by officials. The yellow figure is particularly eye-catching.
After the civil and military officials, are the children of those officials. Because men are superior to women, men are in the front and women are in the back.
Under the guidance of the court ladies, the ladies entered the royal garden one by one. The royal garden covers an area of more than 4,000 mu, so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance. It is mainly divided into two parts: Wanquan Mountain and Dongming Lake. Once you enter the garden, you can see There are small bridges and flowing water, mountains and rocks, among which countless pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, corridors, and pavilions have been built, which look magnificent and magnificent, making people dizzying.
After walking for a while, Nangong Yue felt that countless eyes fell on her, and the feeling of being peeped became more and more intense, and two girls even whispered behind her:
"That's the girl from Nangong Mansion."
"Nangong Mansion? Is that the Nangong Mansion where the Princess Yaoguang came out?"
"Naturally it is Nangong Mansion!"
"..."
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, following the sound, she didn't know which prefecture's girl was too unruly.
"I heard that the Nangong Mansion actually wanted to marry the Jian'anbo Mansion. Obviously, the Jian'anbo Mansion had already rejected the marriage, and the Nangong Mansion had the audacity to spread rumors in the capital to try to force the marriage!" The girl's tone revealed deep emotion. malicious.
Nangong Yue's icy eyes fixed on a girl in yellow shirt, she was still an old face, Zhang Yuchen, she was the little follower of Princess Mingyue. Unexpectedly, even now, Princess Mingyue still refuses to give up!
Zhang Yuchen shrank subconsciously when he was watched, but immediately stared back forcefully.
A girl in a pink shirt next to her glanced at Nangong Cheng with a half-smile, and said sarcastically: "I really don't understand what happened, how some people have the face to attend such a solemn ceremony." She intentionally Sighing, she said, "Some people have a thicker skin than a city wall, and based on her status, she actually wants to marry Prince Pei."
The blood on Nangong Cheng's face faded completely, and her delicate body trembled slightly, but she still held on. Didn't she know that she might suffer this humiliation when she came here? Why should she care about these irrelevant people.
Yesterday, the second aunt came to her to persuade her to get sick, but she still came, because only here was the only way she could see him... Her head was half down, and there was a hint of complexity in her eyes.
Nangong Cheng lowered his head, completely unaware that King Cheng in front of him was looking at her with affectionate eyes, but Nangong Yue beside her noticed it. When the other party's gaze intersected with Nangong Yue, he He seemed to hesitate a bit, but in the end he cast aside his gaze and continued to walk forward with the people beside him as if nothing had happened...
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, she thought that King Cheng was interested in the elder sister, but she didn't expect that it was nothing more than that!
If it's Xiao Yi...
Nangong Yue unconsciously curled her lips slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
If it was Xiao Yi, no matter what happened, even if he was spurned and despised by everyone, even if he wanted to be an enemy of the world, he would definitely stand by his side and never let himself face any difficulties alone. Even the slightest unbearable.
Nangong Yue's gaze paused on Nangong Cheng's gloomy eyes, and suddenly said coldly to Zhang Yuchen and the girl in pink beside her: "When is Nangong Mansion going to marry Jian'anbo Mansion? Did you know it happened? Where did you hear it from?"
"Do you still need to inquire? There are rumors going up and down in the capital." Zhang Yuchen said disdainfully, "I heard that the second lady of Nangong went to the uncle's mansion in person, but was driven back!" She said quickly Glancing in a certain direction, the familiar red jade drop bead hibiscus bead flower is delicate and charming...
"The sage says, don't look at injustice, don't listen to injustice." Nangong Yue shook her head sympathetically, and persuaded, "Miss Zhang, although you are not a man and have not been taught by a sage, you should read "The Precepts for Women" carefully. Yes, especially women's words, otherwise in the future... hey!"
Don't talk nonsense and domineering, but choose words and stop when the time is right, it's a woman's talk.
This "talking too much" is one of the seven.
Why Zhang Yuchen didn't understand, she was going crazy with anger, pointing at Nangong Yue and tremblingly said: "You...you actually cursed me to be...to be..." She couldn't say the following words anymore. After being cursed, he will be abandoned.
She stomped her feet and said bitterly: "You Nangong Mansion can do it, why are you still afraid of others talking about it!"
"You're a girl whose family is full of marriage. You're ashamed to say it, but I'm too embarrassed to listen to it." Nangong Yue's mouth raised a cold smile, "The sage said, what people say, what others say. What others say, What do you believe, Ms. Zhang, if you are like this, what will you do in the future?" During her words, she showed a deep sense of pity, and some girls around her felt it when they saw it, not to mention whether Nangong Mansion really wanted her. Married to the Jian'anbo Mansion, this Miss Zhang is obviously out of her mind, and she still needs to remind her mother in the future, if she marries into the mansion, she will be mad at her family!
Nangong Yue looked at the bright sky with a solemn expression, calm and composed, and said frankly: "Today is the day for His Majesty to sacrifice to the sky. All the gods in the sky are watching. Right and wrong, everyone has their own opinions." With one glance, he walked forward holding Nangong Cheng's hand, which attracted many admiring eyes.
That's right, today's sacrifice to the sky, all the gods in the sky are watching, and Princess Yaoguang is so magnanimous, it seems that Nangong Mansion really has a clear conscience.
All of a sudden, there were a lot of good things looking at the son of Jian'anbo in front of him. Those who were acquainted with him had already considered going to Jian'anbo's mansion to test it out after offering sacrifices to heaven. topic.
Prince Jian'an quickly glanced in the direction of Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, after a pause, he immediately walked forward.
On the other side, Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng walked forward quickly, and then slowed down a little when the crowd thinned out.
"Third sister, thank you very much." Nangong Cheng looked at Nangong Yue gratefully, and thanked in a low voice.
Nangong Yue turned her head to look at Nangong Cheng's beautiful face, and said in a gentle voice, "Elder sister doesn't need to be so polite, sisters in the family don't need to be so polite."
Nangong Cheng pursed her lips and smiled at Nangong Yue, feeling her eyes wet. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
The two walked towards the altar of worship with the flow of people. Gradually, a tall altar appeared in front of them, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter. No one dared to speak casually anymore.
At this time, the crowd no longer had the heart to enjoy the scenery, everyone looked solemn, and walked slowly, for fear of taking a wrong step and provoking the wrath of the emperor.
The Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven is in the center of the royal garden, surrounded by ancient pines and carved with jade.
The emperor and the empress were stepping on the jade steps, walking on the long jade ladder, and walking towards the high altar. The bright yellow figure formed a sharp contrast with the jade ladder, and it looked as if under the sunlight. It is gorgeous and dazzling, as if heaven and man have descended, just looking at it like this makes people awe-inspiring.
The emperor finally walked up to the middle platform of the Tiantai, and at this time, under the Tiantai, civil and military officials and their legitimate children were all present, kneeling down one after another like waves, and said in unison: "See Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live, long live, long live, thousand live for the queen."
For a moment, all the officials bowed their heads and knelt down, with respectful expressions, and the atmosphere was even more solemn.
"Pingshen!" The emperor gave an order, and all the talents got up one after another.
Seeing that the auspicious time had come, Si Tianjian said something to Eunuch Liu in a low voice. After Eunuch Liu asked the emperor for instructions, he shouted loudly: "Please ask the emperor and queen to go up to the altar and pray for the people."
The emperor and the empress respectively received three huge sticks of incense from the servants, held the three sticks of incense, climbed up to the highest point of the altar with three steps and one knock, knelt down in front of the tablet of the Emperor of Heaven to offer incense, and then returned to the middle level for three rows. Kneeling and kowtow nine times to salute, then offer jade silk and sacrificial wine, and then read a long series of gorgeous and profound blessings, and finally throw them into the brazier respectfully as a sacrifice to God.
Under the sacrificial platform, the accompanying ministers and their legitimate children stood in place, knelt and kowtowed following the rhythm of the emperor's three steps and one kowtow. In this way, more than an hour has passed.
But the sacrifice to heaven is not over yet. Next, the emperors, queens, ministers and even everyone present must kneel down and wait for the revelation from the heavens. Only then will the heavens hear their prayers and continue to bless the people of Dayu!
Everyone knelt on the ground and waited quietly. This time is the most difficult time, because I don’t know when the heavens will give us enlightenment. Apart from waiting, there is only waiting...
Time passed like this little by little, but the sky never changed a bit, and at this moment, the most anxious person was probably the Si Tianjian. If the sky remained unchanged, then today's sacrifice to the sky would become a joke. Si Tianjian was already sweating profusely from anxiety, but after more than an hour, the sky remained the same.
Nangong Yue had already knelt down until her legs were numb, as if they were not hers anymore, and her back was drenched with sweat.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a blue-shirted girl in the front left and fainted. The people around naturally noticed it, and the defenses of several girls were instantly defeated by this, and two more girls were blinded and fainted to the ground.
Normally, this would probably cause a commotion, but at this moment, no one moved, and everyone was still kneeling on the ground motionless. The surrounding maids, servants, maids and others dare not come up to help, disturbing the sacrifice is a capital offense!
Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Teng who was kneeling on her right, and was a little worried that she would not be able to hold on. She often rides a horse for exercise on weekdays, and her bones are much stronger than Nangong Teng's.
As expected, Nangong Cheng's pretty face was pale, and her delicate body had already started to tremble slightly, but she still gritted her teeth for support. She weakly hooked the corners of her lips to Nangong Yue, meaning she was okay.
When Nangong Yue turned her head, her eyes happened to meet Xiao Yi who was in the front right. He was separated from her by a row, and there were more than ten people apart, at least ten feet away, but even so, the two looked at each other. At that time, Nangong Yue could still clearly see the deep worry in Xiao Yi's eyes, her heart warmed up, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
She nodded slightly to him, indicating that she was fine.
Just at this moment, a cool wind blew on her cheeks, followed by a servant shouting in a high-pitched voice: "The cloud has dispersed, the heavens heard it!"
Everyone looked up, and saw that the sky that was originally covered with white clouds revealed a lot of blue, and the white clouds gradually spread out in all directions. The scorching sun that was originally blocked by the clouds finally revealed its true face, facing the earth without hesitation. Casting a scorching light...
Normally, those noble ladies kneeling on the ground would think that the sun would tan their skin, but at this moment, they couldn't think of that, and only felt that the boulder in their hearts had finally fallen.
Si Tianjian was even more delighted, and shouted loudly to the sky: "The dark clouds have cleared, and the rising sun will shine on the earth! God has heard the prayers of all living beings, and sent blessings!"
Then, all the people kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times to the sky, shouting in unison: Thank God, bless me.
At this point, the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is considered complete.
The surrounding maids rushed forward to help their own girls, and those girls who fainted had already been carried away by a few well-trained servants.
With difficulty, Nangong Yue stood up with Baihui's support, but out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Xiao Yizheng striding towards her. Those eyes that were always filled with smiles in the past were only her, and only her. bystander.
Nangong Yue's heart trembled, and there seemed to be a "pound" in her ears. Something was broken at this moment, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
She shook her head at Xiao Yi from a distance, signaling him not to come over.
Xiao Yi stopped his steps and did not continue to move forward, but his gaze was still entangled with Nangong Yue, and he refused to move away a little.
Nangong Yue tried hard to stabilize her mind, but a storm arose in her heart.
The so-called "one leaf blinded" should be her, right
When she lifted the layer of white veil that she covered in front of her eyes, many things were clearly displayed in front of her eyes.
In her previous life, she worked hard for a person who didn't care about her, but in the end she destroyed herself.
After being reborn, she has never wanted to think about marriage anymore. This is not only to atone for the sins of the previous life, but also feels that her heart is at peace. Her biggest goal in this life is to guard her mother, her elder brother, and her family. , then she is already contented.
In the past two years, she seemed to be doing very well, her brother survived, her mother was not crazy, her stepmother in the previous life was completely sent away from their life, she was named Princess Yaoguang by the emperor... everything seems to be getting better and better The better, as long as Han Lingfu is prevented from ascending to the supreme position, the Nangong family will keep half of it.
But in fact, only she, armed with layers of coats, still stays where she is.
The elder brother is getting smarter and smarter, has his own friends, and has passed the childbirth test; the mother is not only locked in the shallow cloud courtyard, but is working hard to run the house, facing the ups and downs outside the house; what about me?
My own time seems to be stuck at the moment of death in the previous life. Both the soul and the mind are blocked there, and I don't want to come out again, let alone grow up.
She was afraid of being hurt again, so she hesitated in the same place, telling herself that if there is no change, there will be no harm.
But in fact, is that really the case
Or, is she really willing to do so
Could it be that she really wants to be the same as her previous life, and at the end of her life, she regrets the past life, regrets that she didn't take that step, and regrets missing the most important and precious thing in life in this life!
Maybe she should give it a try, so that she will have no regrets in this life! Even if she gets hurt again, at least she can be sure--
At this moment, he loves her so much! He only has her in his eyes!
That's enough...
At this time, the emperor and empress finally stepped down slowly from the altar. After praying for three hours, the emperor and empress were also extremely tired, but there was a look of relief on their brows.
The high-hanging hearts of the civil and military officials also relaxed a little, and the sacrifice to the sky was successfully completed, and they had an explanation to the people of the world, and the matter of the Tiangou eating the sun can finally be exposed.
The emperor and empress were surrounded and went to rest in the palace in the garden.
Everyone respectfully sent the emperor away, and then they all heaved a sigh of relief. Some people started to return home, while others walked around the garden in twos and threes. It is rare to come to the Royal Garden, so it is natural to appreciate the scenery here.
"Sister Yue, are you okay?" Jiang Yixi walked over with a concerned face, and Yuan Yuyi, the lord of Liushuang County, was beside her. The two of them also looked a bit embarrassed, most of the makeup on their bodies was destroyed by sweat, but they could barely be seen.
"I'm fine." Nangong Yue looked at the two of them with a smile. Seeing that they couldn't hide their fatigue, she quickly took out a jade bottle from her bosom, "I have some refreshing pills here. Sister Xi, Sister Yi, all of you Eat all of them."
The two girls were naturally disrespectful. After taking the pill, Jiang Yixi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Huh? Where's sister Cheng?"
Nangong Yue was taken aback for a moment, then looked to the side, and sure enough, Nangong Yue had disappeared without a trace. She remembered that Nangong Cheng helped Shuxiang up before, but she was busy paying attention to Xiao Yi later, but she didn't pay attention to Nangong Cheng's whereabouts.
The three of them looked around and saw many girls resting tiredly on stone benches under the shade of trees, Jiang Yixi hurriedly said: "Sister Yue, don't worry, I think Sister Cheng must have a rest nearby, this is the royal garden, It'll be fine."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and suggested: "Let's go back to the carriage first. I think big sister will go to the carriage after resting."
Nangong Yue looked around again for half a circle, then walked slowly towards the entrance of the royal garden with the two of them, chatting while watching the scenery.
But at this time, the missing Nangong Cheng was in a pine forest. A tall and handsome man was standing opposite her, wearing a blue brocade robe and a golden crown of suet, white jade, and silk. His deep eyes were looking at Nangong. Cheng, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Behind them, Shuxiang was guarding the entrance of the pine forest with a complicated expression. At this time, thinking about the various abnormalities of Nangong Cheng during the previous period, it was obvious that the marriage in Jian'anbo Mansion could not be better, but the eldest girl was always depressed. Tao Tao cried loudly in the room alone. On the contrary, the marriage failed, and the eldest girl seemed relieved. If everything is because of the eldest girl and His Royal Highness King Cheng... then everything can be explained.
The pine forest covers the sun, the breeze blows gently, and there is a rustling sound. The soft and soothing sound makes people relax.
Nangong Cheng stared at the man with a pair of bright eyes like autumn water, and the base of his ears began to turn red slightly, but at the same time, he felt a little panic in his heart, and his heart was beating thumpingly. How would he look at her? To ridicule her like the world, despise her, spurn her, or... Nangong Cheng bit his lower lip slightly.
"Miss Nangong, the matter between you and Jian'anbo Mansion... I have heard about it."
King Cheng's words made Nangong Cheng feel like being struck by lightning, and her pretty face turned pale. After a while, she summoned up her courage and slowly raised her eyes to look at him. His eyes were clear, like the clear blue sky after the rain, there was no contempt, no disgust, only joy.
He looked down at her slightly, his eyes and the corners of his mouth were clearly filled with joy, and tentatively called again softly: "Teng'er..."
Nangong Chengyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his face was stained with clouds of clouds, but he didn't speak out against it.
Seeing this, King Cheng was determined, he boldly held Nangong Cheng's plain hand, and said sincerely: "Cheng'er, you don't even know how entangled I have been in the past few days, I tried my best to tell myself that you and the son of Jian'an are worthy Male talent and female appearance, the right family, marrying him, you don't need to leave your relatives, leave the place you are most familiar with, and go to a foreign land; but, I don't want to give up on you, I don't want to watch you marry someone else... until I heard The marriage failed, so I was relieved." Then, he put Nangong Cheng's bare hand on his chest, "I know I'm mean, would you hate me like this?"
Nangong Cheng felt her cheeks were burning, and shook her head desperately, because she, like him, felt relieved when she heard that the marriage failed. What she was most afraid of was... Nangong Cheng gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "His Royal Highness, now I am in the capital..." It can be said that he has become the laughing stock of everyone after dinner. With her like this, does he still want her
Nangong Cheng couldn't say anything about the latter words, and could only use a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak to express her heartfelt affectionately.
King Cheng grabbed her right palm and exerted a little force, saying eagerly: "Cheng'er, why do you think that way! It's not your fault at all, it's those villains and gossips! You are in my heart Zhong is the most beautiful woman, even the stars in the sky are not as bright as you."
Nangong Cheng's heart is sweet, the dust has finally settled in her heart that has been uneasy for the past few days, her sweetheart is really not such a superficial ordinary person!
She took a deep breath, but in the blink of an eye, her mind was spinning.
Since childhood, she has followed the teachings of her family and followed the rules, fearing that if she makes a wrong move, her life will be ruined. But what about now? Even if she is cautious, cautious and submissive, there will still be villains causing trouble!
That being the case, then she will go out of her way once!
The content of the signature appeared in her mind again, and then she said to herself, this may be a warning from the heavens, and it is also her last chance!
She plucked up the courage to raise her eyes to King Shang Cheng's, and asked shyly, "You... what you said last time..." After a pause, she finished speaking in a low voice but firmly, "His Royal Highness, if you really If you are interested in Cheng'er, please come to the door to propose marriage. Cheng'er absolutely cannot give or accept privately with His Highness!" After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, so ashamed that she no longer dared to look at King Cheng.
King Cheng said slowly: "Teng'er, please wait for me for a while..."
Nangong Cheng's neck turned bright red in an instant, he nodded imperceptibly, and said: "I should go. If I don't leave, the third sister will be in a hurry."
King Cheng nodded and stood still, watching Nangong Cheng leave.
When Nangong Cheng came to the entrance of the royal garden, Nangong Qin had already arrived. Now that everyone was here, the drivers of Nangong Mansion drove back home.
When we returned to Fuchu from the eastern suburbs, half of the setting sun had already set. The fire clouds in the sky burned from the west to the east, dyeing most of the sky red, as if it was on fire.
Nangong Yue stood by the window, watching the sunset slowly...
She wants to see him!
I have never wanted to see him more urgently than now!
Although the agreed date has not yet arrived, but since the decision has been made, let's do it!
Finally, when the sun had completely set, Nangong Yue summoned Baihui and ordered: "You go and find Shizi Xiao."
Baihui was startled, it's not uncommon for Xiao Shizi to visit, but it's very rare for her own girl to ask to see her...
Barely suppressing the surprise in her heart, Baihui immediately took the order and left.
