After leaving the lotus pavilion, Bai Muxiao walked alone along the lotus pond to a deserted place, until he bypassed a rockery and finally found a clean place.
She casually sat down on a stone bench, leisurely admiring the lotus and carp in the pond, and her mood became more relaxed.
When she was thinking about asking the maid for some bait, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her. She couldn't help but frowned slightly. When she turned her head to look, she saw a slender and handsome man walking towards her at a leisurely pace. The thin lips were raised slightly, and the clear eyes that were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping water looked at him with a smile.
It's him!
Bai Muxiao's heartbeat quickened twice, but immediately calmed down. She stood up and bowed to the visitor without being humble or overbearing: "The daughter of the people has met His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"Miss Bai is free." The third prince Han Lingfu hastily raised his hand, gentle and refined.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Third Prince."
When Bai Muxiao stood up, he took advantage of the opportunity to look at him, but then she looked away decisively, and was about to say goodbye, when Han Lingfu asked softly: "Miss Bai, were you in the lotus pavilion just now?" deliberately?"
Bai Muxiao was stunned, she didn't expect the third prince to ask her this, she didn't want to lie, so she didn't speak, but she heard the other party ask again: "Miss Bai, answer me, did you intentionally express your love in the previous song?" mediocre!"
Bai Muxiao pondered for a while, and finally replied: "Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince."
"Miss Bai, why did you do this?" Han Lingfu's voice was intoxicating like a spring breeze, "Is someone forcing you?" Thinking of her living in Nangong Mansion with her widowed mother, Han Lingfu felt that it was possible, and felt sorry for Bai Mu in his heart. Xiao felt sorry for her.
Bai Muxiao raised her snow-white neck slightly, with a pair of clear eyes as bright as autumn water, she said firmly: "In this world, no one can persecute a commoner girl."
Han Lingfu was a little surprised, and stared at her deeply, "Then why did you do this?"
"I believe His Royal Highness the Third Prince also knows the meaning of this flower viewing party," Bai Muxiao looked at Han Lingfu calmly, "As a civilian girl, if she is selected, she is just a concubine." She said firmly , "But women don't want to be concubines!"
Wisps of sunlight gently shone on her body through the green willows by the pool, casting a faint brilliance on her.
Han Lingfu stared blankly at the girl in front of him, he had never seen such a girl, so independent, so independent, just like the noble and holy white lotus, she was independent from the world, with a character that would rather bend than bend.
Han Lingfu couldn't suppress his inner admiration any longer, looked at Bai Muxiao with burning eyes, and said: "Miss Bai, I have been dreaming of you since the Fang Banquet, and I really can't forget you, so I begged my mother My concubine invites you to come into the palace..." His eyes fixed on Bai Muxiao's face passionately, expressing his affection.
When being looked at by such an outstanding man with such affectionate eyes, which woman can not be moved? Bai Muxiao was so looked at by him that a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she half bowed her head, feeling both surprised and happy.
She never thought that she would receive the flower post because of Han Lingfu, let alone hear such a sincere confession from the other party.
She couldn't help but think of the day at the Fang Banquet, when she danced the sword and Han Lingfu accompanied her. At that moment, she believed that the two of them were in the same heart, but it's a pity...
Thinking about his identity, Bai Muxiao's heart turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Third Prince, for your kindness." Bai Muxiao looked at Han Lingfu deeply, her beautiful face was touched but also full of helplessness.
He really likes himself, right? He has no airs in front of him at all, and even calls himself "I", which makes her feel respected, but his identity is not ordinary after all, no matter how much he likes himself, he doesn't Maybe let yourself become the prince's main concubine, and in his capacity, the future side concubine and concubine's room will be indispensable...
She bit her cherry blossom-like red lips, and said again: "...I will never be a concubine. Please forgive me, Your Highness." She didn't use "civilian girl", but used "I" like the third prince. After finishing speaking, She saluted again, then trotted away without looking back.
Han Lingfu did not catch up, but watched her go with a pair of scorching eyes...
When she could no longer feel the scorching sight behind her, Bai Muxiao finally stopped, looked back with complicated eyes, and finally walked into the osmanthus forest in front of her.
From a distance, Bai Muxiao saw Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan and Yuan Yuyi standing under an osmanthus tree. She was about to step forward, but saw three girls in front of her walking towards Nangong Yue and them. The girl's face was covered with a white veil, and she was wearing a Ruyi satin embroidered multicolored auspicious cloud palace gown. She had a slim figure, and on her head was an exquisite brocade ring and phoenix crown, which shone golden in the sun, making her look gorgeous and noble. Behind her were two court ladies in pink dresses.
Bai Muxiao's gaze paused for a moment on the brocade phoenix crown. This phoenix crown is an accessory that only princesses can wear. Obviously this veiled girl is the second princess.
Bai Muxiao stopped immediately. It wasn't that she was afraid of the second princess, but once she met the princess, she had to salute, and she really didn't like the feeling of kneeling, so she simply hid behind a nearby sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
"My daughter has met His Royal Highness the Second Princess." Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan and Yuan Yuyi saluted the Second Princess respectfully.
While saluting, Nangong Yue's eyes quickly passed over the face of the second princess wearing a veil. The veil completely blocked the face below the eyes of the second princess, and she couldn't see the injury on her face at all.
The second princess glared at Nangong Yue with resentment, new hatred and old hatred came up together. On that day, if Nan Gongyue hadn't ruined his own important affairs, he wouldn't have put all his eggs in one basket and designed Qu Jiayue by mistake, and even forged the enemy of Pingyang Houfu.
The more the second princess thought about it, the angrier she became, she snorted coldly at Nangong Yue, then walked away with her neck raised like a proud peacock.
Nangong Yue and the others didn't take the second princess to heart at all. After the second princess walked away, they got up by themselves and walked outside the osmanthus forest.
"Ah Yue, Elder Sister Yi," Fu Yunyan seemed to suddenly recall something, and lowered his voice mysteriously, "Have you heard about Qu Jiayue being sent back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Fu Yunyan was so well informed and knew about it. Before she could speak, Yuan Yuyi asked in surprise: "Didn't she go to make a kiss? Why did she come back?"
"I heard from my grandmother." Fu Yunyan hastily told the story of the Xirong envoys being ambushed by bandits on the way back to Xirong, and finally said, "Qu Jiayue was sent back to the Pingyang Hou Mansion last night. I don't know what the bandit's plan is."
"Then she's back, make a kiss..." Yuan Yuyi hesitated to speak, frowning slightly.
Fu Yunyan sighed, and said again: "When something like this happened, Qu Jiayue's reputation has been completely ruined. I don't know if Xi Rong wants her or not. Maybe the person for marriage will become the second princess again..."
"You are talking nonsense!" A sharp and familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind the three of them, "How dare you criticize Ben Gong behind your back, come here, give Ben Gong a slap!"
The three of Nangong Yue were startled, and when they looked back, it turned out that the second princess was standing behind them at some point. At this time, the second princess was looking at them fiercely. The thin veil blocked the expression of the second princess, but one could imagine that she was so angry that her face was ferocious. Looking at her eyes, it seems that she wants to eat them!
Seeing that the two maids behind her did not respond, the second princess yelled angrily: "Don't do it yet!" About Qu Jiayue being sent back to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the second princess just learned from the third prince that she was in a bad mood . She was also worried that the candidate to marry Xi Rong would become herself again, but she didn't want Fu Yunyan to express her doubts in such an understatement!
As long as she thinks about going to get married again, the second princess will be afraid and hate again. She has managed to get a replacement candidate. Could it be that in the end it is just a waste of money, losing the wife and losing the army
And what Fu Yunyan said just now was more like stabbing the second princess in the chest like a knife, these people dared to gloat and laugh at themselves behind their backs!
Thinking of this, the second princess was going crazy, no, she was driven crazy by them!
"Slap your mouth?" Fu Yunyan straightened her back and looked at the second princess without fear, "Even my grandmother never hit me, so you want to hit me?" She raised her chin and looked at the princess with provocative eyes. The second princess, "Try to hit me?!" If it hadn't been for the fact that Qu Jiayue was framed by the second princess and got married, Fu Yunyan might have sympathized with the second princess, but the second princess is really insidious and despicable, and she only wanted to escape the catastrophe for herself. It's like a mad dog pulling others to be her scapegoat, it's really despicable!
Fu Yunyan's last sentence completely irritated the second princess. Originally, the second princess just wanted to scare Fu Yunyan, hoping that Fu Yunyan would bow her head and admit her mistake to herself. Unexpectedly, Fu Yunyan would be so ignorant of herself as the second princess!
This made the second princess, who was always arrogant, unable to swallow this breath.
She stomped her feet, pointed at Fu Yunyan frantically, and said, "Catch her for Bengong, and slap her hard!"
The two maids knew that the second princess was mad, so they dared not be negligent, and hurried forward together to catch Fu Yunyan.
Fu Yunyan sneered, and kicked one of the maids' knees first, causing her to fall to the ground with a "plop" scream, then quickly grabbed the right wrist of the other maid, and with a little force, He clamped the opponent with his backhand.
The palace lady screamed in pain, but Fu Yunyan had no heart to pity her, so she threw her to the ground with a push.
Although Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi knew that Fu Yunyan was good at riding and shooting, they didn't expect her skill to be the true biography of Princess Yunyang. They were almost dumbfounded.
Fu Yunyan stood on the spot and clapped his hands handsomely, shook his head and sighed: "That's it, you still want to slap me on the mouth, I really want to hit you."
The second princess was so angry that her brain was congested, she said to the two maids: "Quickly get up with me." The two maids groaned and fell to the ground pretending to be dead.
Fu Yunyan didn't bother to pay any attention to the second princess, and pulled Nangong Yue with one hand and Yuan Yuyi with the other, and left the osmanthus forest swaggeringly.
"It's really useless!" The second princess was so angry that she kicked and kicked the two maids, venting her anger, "What's the use of my palace keeping you!"
The two maids huddled together, although the pain was so painful that their internal organs were about to burst, but neither of them dared to make a sound.
Bai Muxiao who was on the side watched it from beginning to end, and couldn't help shaking her head secretly. This second princess is really arrogant and domineering, unlike her brother.
Thinking of the third prince, Bai Muxiao's eyes were a little tangled, and a ripple appeared in his peaceful heart. She took a deep breath and planned to leave here quietly, but she didn't want an accident to happen--
Hearing a "creak", Bai Muxiao accidentally stepped on a branch and made a slight noise.
In the sweet-scented osmanthus forest, it was originally quiet, so a little noise was particularly noticeable.
"Who, who's there!?" The second princess followed the sound, and when she saw Bai Muxiao, her heart burned instantly.
"Tell me, when did you hide there?" As soon as she thought that Bai Muxiao saw all her embarrassment just now, the second princess would get so angry that her forehead would bulge. Before him, he swung his right hand fiercely, "How dare you hide in the dark and spy on me!"
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap sound suddenly resounded, leaving obvious red palm prints on Bai Muxiao's fair face, which was shocking to watch.
After this slap, the second princess finally felt much more comfortable, and said coldly: "The little lesson my palace gave you today is a good deal for you!" The two court ladies walked away.
Bai Muxiao covered the left side of her face, only to feel a burning pain on her face, buzzing in her ears, humiliation and anger welling up in her heart at the same time...
She stared fixedly at the back of the second princess leaving, her eyes were burning with resentment, her expression was obscure.
For a long time, she squinted her eyes slightly, looked up at the sky, countless emotions flashed in her eyes, and finally turned into firmness and determination!
She has already retreated again and again, but what she got in return was only humiliation, so why should she endure it any longer!
As if she had made up her mind, she strode out of the sweet-scented osmanthus forest.
Outside the sweet-scented osmanthus grove, there were naturally some girls who saw the palm print on Bai Muxiao's face. Although they were curious, no one asked her what happened.
Just like that, Bai Muxiao returned to the Lotus Pavilion in a daze, and first bowed to the Queen, Concubine Zhang and others.
After the queen said her excuse, Bai Muxiao thanked her again with her head half down, turned around and was about to walk to her seat, but at the moment she turned around, the clear five-fingerprint on the right half of her face was just right. It was exposed in the eyes of the queen.
The queen couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Miss Bai, what's the matter with your face?"
"Return to Empress Empress," Bai Muxiao said respectfully, with half-drawn eyelids covering her deep pupils, "The Second Princess said that the daughter of the people was spying on her secretly, so she slapped her mouth as a punishment."
Concubine Zhang, who was sitting on the queen's right, was startled. She was about to say something, but Concubine Liu took the first step: "Miss Bai, it's your fault. You didn't go to enjoy the flowers, and you secretly peeped at the second princess!" The concubine deliberately admonished Bai Muxiao, but a flash of interest flashed in her eyes, waiting to see a good show.
Concubine Li glanced at Concubine Zhang quickly, and said, "Isn't Second Princess recovering from her injuries in Xuehe Palace? Why did she come to Baihuayuan?"
"Going back to the ladies, the folk girl watched the fish by the lotus pond for a while, and then went into the sweet-scented osmanthus grove, but she didn't want to disturb the second princess." Bai Muxiao knelt down slowly, enduring the humiliation, "The second princess said, The daughter is spying on her secretly." She kowtowed deeply, "The status of a civilian girl is low, how dare she spy on the second princess at will, I really don't know that the second princess is in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest."
Concubine Liu sighed: "It's really pitiful for this child. He was just enjoying a flower, but he unexpectedly flew into disaster."
Concubine Zhang blamed the second princess for not being up to date, but she had to find excuses for her: "Empress, although the second princess acted a little impulsively, she is not an unreasonable person, will there be a misunderstanding?"
The queen glanced at Concubine Zhang with a half-smile: "Sister Concubine Zhang, don't worry, I won't wrong the second princess." Then she ordered someone to announce the second princess.
Concubine Zhang groans secretly in her heart. According to the temperament of the second princess, she must have angered Bai Muxiao in all likelihood. It's not working anymore.
After a while, the veiled second princess came, and before she could salute, Concubine Zhang yelled angrily: "Sinister, why don't you kneel down and plead guilty to the empress."
As soon as the second princess saw Bai Muxiao, she knew that this little slut must have gone to complain.
"Mother Concubine, what did my daughter do wrong, why do you want to apologize?" The second princess pointed at Bai Muxiao angrily, "Is it because this lowly maid is talking nonsense? It is clear that she was spying on Ben Gong secretly, and Ben Gong didn't kill her on the spot , is already considered cheap for her, and now she still has to find the queen mother to sue the palace!"
Well, there is no need for witnesses, the second princess herself admitted that she beat Bai Muxiao.
Bai Muxiao stood aside with lowered eyebrows, a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
Concubine Liu shook her head, and said in disbelief: "The second princess's words are different. Although Miss Bai is a commoner, but she was invited by the palace flower post, she is a guest. The guest wants to enjoy the flowers in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. , met the second princess by accident, as the master, the second princess is supposed to entertain one or two well, how could she just beat and kill like this?"
The second princess looked contemptuous: "If I want my palace to entertain her, she deserves it. I don't know what kind of unscrupulous tricks have been used by the little girl. After getting the flower post, she wants to fly on the branch and become a phoenix. It's impossible to reach the sky in one step." ?”
Concubine Zhang heard that the second princess was getting more and more outrageous, the queen's face was pulled down, and she was so angry that she wanted to gag her.
"Shut up." Concubine Zhang stood up and confessed to the queen, "Please forgive me, my concubine, I will go back and teach the second princess well."
Bai Muxiao was still kneeling, watching the second princess's determination to die with cold eyes, and sighed in her heart: How could such a handsome person as the third prince have such an idiot sister
"Mother and concubine should really teach the imperial sister well." Han Lingfu walked in with a livid face. As soon as he received the news that his second sister was in trouble, he hurried over, but he didn't expect that the second princess would hit his sweetheart.
Seeing Bai Muxiao who was still kneeling on the ground, Han Lingfu couldn't help feeling sorry for her. A woman like her should stand nine days away and look down on everyone, instead of kneeling humblely and being trampled by others like she is now. Thinking that the instigator was actually the second princess, Han Lingfu felt a little bit dissatisfied with the second princess.
"Third Brother, what are you talking about?" Second Princess shouted aggrievedly, "How can you help outsiders?"
However, Han Lingfu ignored the second princess, and respectfully bowed to the queen and said: "The emperor's words and deeds are shameless, and I ask the queen mother to punish her."
The queen secretly sighed in her heart: This Han Ling Fu is really not simple, it can be bent and stretched, and it has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist. If he asks for instructions and punishments, it is not good to let the second princess continue to make trouble.
The queen pondered for a while, and said: "As the princess of the royal family, the second princess is arrogant, and she loses her manners in front of the palace. She really does not behave like a royal princess. Then the second princess will be fined and confined for three months, and she will be punished for copying women's precepts. The girls' training was done twenty times each. The second princess' temperament is really out of balance, so I copied the "Diamond Sutra" three times." The queen sighed, "I only hope that this peaceful Buddha spirit can dissolve the pain in the second princess's heart." hostility."
As soon as this remark came out, Concubine Zhang's complexion was not very beautiful, and the queen in her heart was really making use of the problem. And all because of…
Concubine Zhang gave Bai Muxiao a cold look, thinking that this girl is really a beauty!
"Second princess," the queen turned her eyes to the second princess, and said calmly, "I am punishing you like this, are you convinced?"
How could the second princess be convinced: "I'm right."
The queen frowned, too lazy to argue with the second princess, and ordered: "Hurry up and bring the second princess back to Xuehe Palace!"
"Yes, empress!"
As soon as the queen gave an order, two nuns came forward and took the second princess away forcefully.
"Miss Bai has been wronged," the queen said with a pleasant face, "Come here, help Miss Bai to go down, and ask the imperial doctor to treat her..."
Xiao Yi at the side watched a good show boredly, quietly exited the Lotus Pavilion, and went to look for Nangong Yue. He circled half a circle in the hundred gardens, and finally found Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan who were enjoying the flowers beside a few clumps of crape myrtle flowers.
"Cough!" Xiao Yi deliberately coughed to attract their attention.
Yuan Yuyi smiled narrowly, pulled Fu Yunyan and said: "Sister Yan, the flowers over there are more beautiful, let's go and have a look."
Fu Yunyan did not object, but before leaving, she winked at Nangong Yue for a while.
Nangong Yue's cheeks were slightly hot, and when they walked away, Xiao Yi talked about what happened in the Lotus Pavilion just now, and at the end he didn't know whether to remind or conclude: "Stinky girl, that cousin of yours is not simple. "
Nangong Yue didn't expect that after they left the osmanthus grove, Bai Muxiao would be caught in a catastrophe, but the second princess was kicked to the iron plate this time, and she could only admit that she was unlucky when she met Bai Muxiao, who was sure to revenge .
However, to Han Lingfu, Bai Muxiao is indeed true love, even her own sister, the second princess, is not as good as her...
Nangong Yue smiled and said meaningfully: "Of course my cousin is not simple."
As soon as he mentioned his cousin, Xiao Yi couldn't help but frowned. He thought of Fang Si from Zhennan Prince's Mansion. These days, Fang Si wanted to come to the front yard when he had nothing to do. Thanks to his foresight, Cheng Yu asked Cheng Yu to find a few big men. Guarded outside the second door. If you want to leave the mansion, you can go through the side door! No matter if it's Xiao Fang or Fang Si, unless they don't want to be famous, no one can even step into the front yard!
At this moment, Xiao Yi showed off his bravery and martial arts to Nangong Yue, and said loyally: "Don't worry, brat, I will definitely watch over the inner house for you!" As he spoke, his eyes sparkled She looked at Nangong Yue eagerly, as if waiting for praise.
Nangong Yue couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing, the sun fell on her delicate face, she was more delicate than a flower.
Xiao Yi was even more proud, and hurriedly said again and again: "They will stay in the capital for a while, and I will bring them all back to southern Xinjiang soon!"
Nangong Yue looked up at him, "Ah Yi. How did Xiao Fang marry the King of Zhennan?" No matter in the previous life or in this life, all she knew was that Xiao Fang was Xiao Yi's mother's concubine cousin. She and Xiao Yi will return to Southern Xinjiang sooner or later, and there are some things that should be slowly planned. She must not allow Xiao Yi to bear the infamy of killing his father and brother for the rest of his life.
"It is said that my mother and Xiao Fang have a very good relationship, as close as sisters. My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me. Before she passed away, she took Xiao Fang's hand and said that she entrusted me to her. So, Before my mother's affection and filial piety had passed, she came in..."
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, not to mention why when the princess passed away due to dystocia, her concubine sister who was still in her boudoir appeared in the delivery room. Just the death of an orphan, the newly born child should also be entrusted to the child's father, grandfather, taking a step back, and the princess's own parents can be entrusted, why would she entrust it to a concubine?!
Moreover, he entered the door during the hot filial period of less than 100 days after his death? This is too urgent...
Xiao Yi continued with a gloomy expression, "I was brought up by my grandfather. When I was young, I practiced martial arts and learned the art of war with my grandfather. I didn't return to the main courtyard until after my grandfather passed away. At that time, the Xiaofang family treated me very well." , Indulge in my playfulness, causing trouble, causing trouble... Later I realized that it was nothing more than flattery." Having said this, Xiao Yi showed a wry smile on his face.
Nangong Yue felt a little regretful, she shouldn't bring up this topic. Her hand couldn't help pulling his cuff, and shook it comfortingly.
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and he took a step towards her slowly, seeing that she didn't refuse, he took another step...
Xiao Yi would no longer feel sad for such a thing, after all, even if his stepmother flattered and killed him, his father gave up on him, or even regarded his existence as a shame, that's okay, he still has his stinky girl, that's enough!
In this world, only she would be truly anxious and worried about herself.
In this world, all he needs is her...
Xiao Yi aggressively moved another step, looked at her face that was more beautiful under the sun, and involuntarily leaned slightly towards her, his lips brushed lightly on her delicate cheeks...
There was a warm touch on his lips, and Xiao Yi's face and earlobes turned red all of a sudden.
Nangong Yue was stunned, her eyes widened, and she didn't react at all for a while. Afterwards, she only saw Xiao Yi looking at her with an embarrassed expression, as if he was afraid that he would be angry, which made her angry and funny.
The two looked at each other like this, and it seemed that even time had stopped at this moment.
Until a court lady came to look for them to go back, saying that the emperor had arrived at the Lotus Pavilion.
The emperor was here in person, so they naturally wanted to pay their respects.
As the palace maid returned to Lotus Pavilion, Xiao Yi glanced at Nangong Yue from time to time, seeing that she was not angry, he boldly got closer and closer to her. When he was about to arrive at Lotus Pavilion, Xiao Yi finally managed to grab Nangong Yue's finger with his thick skin.
Xiao Yi smiled, his smile was brighter than the sun, then he shook her finger and said softly: "Stinky girl, look there."
Nangong Yue wanted to withdraw her fingers, but when she heard the words and looked over, she saw Jiang Yixi and Han Huaijun talking and laughing all the way, coming side by side. Although they couldn't hear what they were talking, they looked very happy, it seemed Get along well.
Could it be... Nangong Yue's heart moved, her brows and eyes were tinged with a smile, and she didn't bother them, first entered the Lotus Pavilion with Xiao Yi, but before stepping into the Lotus Pavilion, she finally managed to break free from his hand.
Xiao Yi's aggrieved expression made Nangong Yue couldn't help but chuckle.
Inside the pavilion, the emperor and the empress were sitting side by side at the top, seeing Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi both coming in, both of them smiled.
Immediately after Jiang Yixi and Han Huaijun came together, the emperor didn't care, but the empress frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
…
On this day, Nangong Yue, Nangong Cheng and Bai Muxiao did not return from the palace until the sun went down.
After returning home, the first thing the three girls did was to go to Rong'an Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Su, and also to report what happened at the Flower Appreciation Fair today.
When Nangong Cheng said that she won the concubine Zhang's award in the talent show of all the girls, and finally the queen chose her as the leader, Su's eyes lit up instantly; when Nangong Cheng said that the emperor appeared in the lotus pavilion, Su's Finally unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, she interrupted her aloud: "Sister Cheng, did the emperor tell you anything?"
Nangong Cheng nodded, with bright eyes like a clear spring, he replied: "The emperor asked me if I have read any books and what I like to do on weekdays... He also praised my painting "Dragonfly Spotting Lotus", saying that I am worthy of the family. Daughter, she is well-educated and versatile." As she spoke, her eyelids drooped slightly to hide the strange brilliance in her black pupils, her heart beating wildly like a deer. She thought that her performance and answers were impeccable. At that time, both the emperor and the queen should be quite satisfied with her...
Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip shyly. She has tried her best to do everything she can, and I believe that when His Royal Highness King Cheng asks the emperor for a marriage, the emperor will agree, right
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
However, Mrs. Su didn't know Nangong Cheng's intentions. When she heard the emperor greatly praised Nangong Cheng, she said "yes" repeatedly, and there was a hint of ambitious expectation in her cloudy eyes, and said in her heart: Since the empress is so satisfied with Sister Cheng, she must have a great chance to become the princess! In this generation of Nangong Mansion, Sister Yue is already the future Princess of Zhennan. If Sister Cheng can become the prince again Concubine, the Nangong Mansion has truly gained a firm foothold in the new dynasty. I believe that the Nangong Mansion will soon become one of the four great families that everyone praises, and no one will say that they are dying!
From the beginning to the end, Bai Muxiao sat at the side with lowered eyebrows, a little absent-minded. Ever since she bid farewell to the third prince Han Lingfu by the lotus pond, that handsome man has been lingering in her heart.
He is of noble birth!
He is majestic!
He is so talented!
He shares his interests!
he…
He is more sincere to himself!
It's a pity that they are destined to have nothing to do with each other!
Bai Muxiao's black pearl-like pupils darkened, and a faint gloom appeared on her face.
It would be great if he wasn't a prince, she would definitely try her best to make herself good enough to stand beside him...
But he happens to be a prince! Her background is destined to be flawed, and in the eyes of others, she will never be worthy of him!
Hey, since there is no destiny, it is better to forget each other in the world of mortals...
That night, a pair of cousins were troubled by love and couldn't sleep... Early the next morning, two special guests came to Nangong Mansion, and Concubine Zhang sent two nuns from the palace over.
At this time, Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng were paying their respects to Mrs. Su in Rong'an Hall. When Mrs. Su heard that the two nuns were sent by Concubine Zhang, she gave Nangong Cheng a smiley look, and immediately sent Mrs. Wang to greet her in person.
The two nuns looked less than fifty years old. They seemed to be kind and friendly, and they seemed to get along well. After saluting with Mrs. Su and Nangong Yue, they sat down opposite Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue.
"Mother Wu, Mother Hua," even Mrs. Su said politely to the two mothers, with a smile on her face, "I don't know what advice Zhang Concubine has for calling the two mothers over."
Nanny Wu smiled reservedly, bowed her body and said, "Madam, I don't dare to give advice. During the flower viewing party yesterday, Concubine Zhang loved Miss Nangong very much, so she specially ordered two servants and servants to come over so Miss Nangong was familiar with the rules of the palace earlier."
Su's eyes widened. Could it be that Madam Wu's implication was that...
Nangong Cheng's pupils shrank slightly, almost suspecting that he heard it wrong. Why does she need to be familiar with the rules of the palace
Nanny Wu looked at Nangong Cheng with a smile on her face, and said: "Nangong eldest girl is really handsome, standing with the third prince must be a couple!"
When Su Shi heard this, she couldn't hide her joy. Sure enough! Sure enough, Nangong Mansion is going to produce a third concubine!
And Nangong Cheng was struck by lightning immediately! What does Madam Wu mean? What does it mean that he and the third prince stand together as a couple?!
Could it be, could it be that...
Her body shook for a while, she felt her eyes darkened, she fell softly, and finally heard Shuxiang's exclamation: "Miss, you..." Followed, and then she didn't know anything...
"Big sister!" Nangong Yue hurried to Nangong Cheng's side, took her pulse, and told Su, "Grandmother, big sister is a little weak these days, so she fainted for a while, it's not a big deal. "Of course Nangong Yue found out that Nangong Cheng fainted because of the excessive grief of being hit, but this is not something that can be said in front of everyone.
