With the interruption of Xiao Fei's matter, Nangong Yue gradually recovered from the loss after Xiao Yi's departure.
A few days later, Zhu Xing sent another message, saying that Xiao Fei had found her. They originally wanted to send her back to southern Xinjiang, but the girl was stubborn and wanted to "convince people with reason" at first. After the guard couldn't make any sense at all, he simply took advantage of the time to go to the clean room and slipped away.
Nangong Yue's headache became even worse when she heard the words. After all, Xiao Fei is a girl's family, and the guards are all men who are big and thick, and there are always taboos. If she wants to run away, she really can't stop her.
Nangong Yue simply asked Zhu Xing to send a few wives there, and when Xiao Fei was found, they asked the wives to take care of her and send her back to southern Xinjiang.
However, after that, there was no news of the eldest girl.
On the one hand, Nangong Yue asked people to continue looking for her, and on the other hand, she finally pulled herself together.
However, living alone in this empty Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she was really too busy to practice besides Zhongfu, and she didn't even bother to practice the piano.
"Meow!"
A majestic cat meowing outside the window made Nangong Yue put down the notebook in her hand, and leaned against the window to look out. She couldn't help being startled when she saw it, and saw Miao Xiaobai climbed into the yard at some point The camphor tree was standing on the top of the tree, showing off its power to the eagle Xiaohui in mid-air.
"noob!"
Nangong Yue was afraid that it would fall, so she shouted anxiously, Xiaobai turned her head and glanced at her, said "meow meow" arrogantly, exerted force on her hind legs, as if she could fly, and rushed towards Xiaohui .
At that moment, Nangong Yue was dumbfounded, and almost wanted to follow Xiao Yi's example and climb out of the window.
In fact, she did so. Just when she sat on the window rafters and was about to roll over, she saw Xiao Bai, who failed to catch Xiao Hui, turn over dexterously in mid-air, and landed steadily. fell to the ground.
It still seemed very unconvinced, after shaking its fur, it threatened Xiaohui with a "meow-woo!"
Xiao Hui circled and circled in mid-air, suddenly swooped down, pecked Xiao Bai's head, and flew high into the sky.
Xiaobai uttered "Meow!" and ran after him.
Nangong Yue's high-pitched heart sank, so Lily, who was opening the curtain and walking in, stared dumbfounded at her always dignified and virtuous Princess Concubine sitting on the window rafter without any image. squinted.
Nangong Yue smiled a little embarrassedly.
Lily hurried forward to help her down, thinking to herself: This is all the son's fault!
Nangong Yue blinked innocently, and hurriedly changed the subject: "What's the matter?"
Bai He coughed dryly twice, held her smile, and said with a low eyebrow, "Shizi Concubine, Sister Yimei is here."
"Yimi... ah!"
Nangong Yue couldn't help but want to pat herself on the head, and almost forgot about it.
After Yimei reconciled and left, she asked Nangong Yue to decide for her to choose another marriage. Nangong Yue also seriously searched for her, but there was no good candidate. And just a few days ago, Zhou Dacheng came to her, wanting to be a matchmaker for a guard named Sun Ye in the palace, and asked Yimei to marry him.
Sun Ye is twenty-five this year, and was married once when he was seventeen, but Sun Ye's original wife was weak and died five years ago, and she couldn't bear him a son and a half. Moreover, Sun Ye's parents died young, only one younger sister was married, and the family was very quiet.
When Zhou Dacheng said the last sentence, it was very meaningful.
Nangong Yue Chuchu was quite satisfied with what she heard. Sun Ye was a member of the mansion, and he knew everything about him, and Zhou Dacheng came forward to protect the matchmaker. His character should not be much worse.
But thinking of Yimei's previous marriage, Nangong Yue still didn't dare to agree rashly, so she sent someone to ask Sun Ye's neighbors about his usual behavior, whether there are any difficult relatives in the family, and Sun Ye's sister and her husband's behavior so what…
After inquiring about the situation, Nangong Yue called Yimei, told about Zhou Dacheng's media protection, and also roughly talked about Sun Ye's situation. Yimei's reply was still the same as before, saying that everything was up to Nangong Yue .
Therefore, Nangong Yue arranged to meet each other, thinking that if it was suitable, this might not be a good marriage.
No, Yimei is here, but she almost made a mistake about the date.
I've been really absent-minded lately.
Nangong Yue told Baihe, "Let Yimei come in."
Not long after, Yimei came in to invite Ann, perhaps because of her previous marriage, there was not much shyness on Yimei's face, her eyes were clear, and she looked dignified and generous.
Nangong Yue took Baihe and Yimei to the front yard. In the side hall outside Xiao Yi's study, the mother-in-law moved a screen and hid behind it.
After she gave an order, Zhou Dacheng led a young man dressed as a guard into the side hall.
"I have met the concubine." The two saluted Nangong Yue behind the screen together.
"Excuse me." Nangong Yue said, while looking at the young man through the screen, he saw that the young man was about the same height as Zhou Dacheng, with a strong figure and dark complexion. Although he looked like Zhou Zheng, he was very energetic. There was righteousness all over his body, and his eyes were clear and upright.
Nangong Yue nodded secretly, and after asking a few questions, she looked at Yimei and asked her what she meant.
Yimei hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Nangong Yue with clear eyes. She turned her body slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Concubine Shizi, can I ask him a few questions in person?"
Nangong Yue was taken aback for a moment, and then responded with a smile.
Yimei walked out from behind the screen.
Sun Ye was slightly surprised, then looked at her calmly.
"Guard Sun," Yimei looked at Sun Ye with clear eyes, "Do you know that I am a married woman?"
"I know." Sun Ye nodded, "I'm a widower."
Yimei continued: "The reason why I reconcile is because I can't tolerate my husband taking concubines."
"I never thought about taking a concubine." Sun Ye said again.
"But what if I can't bear children?" Yimei asked sharply and sharply, looking at him for a moment, as if afraid of missing every subtle reaction of his, "What will happen to you then?"
"But are you sick?" Sun Ye looked at Yimei seriously, "Which doctor said this?"
"It's not what the doctor said. It's just..." Yimei's complexion was slightly depressed, and she hesitated to speak.
She once went to see a doctor because she had been infertile for many years, but the doctor told her that she was fine, and even the Crown Princess affirmed that she was fine. However, it is a fact that there are no children.
"Since the doctor didn't say it, then what are you worried about?" Sun Ye didn't seem to understand. "The doctor said that my health is fine. Since our health is fine, there will be a child sooner or later. Don't worry."
Yimei stared at Sun Ye dumbfounded, what did she say? It was as if she was in a hurry to have a child.
She became a little annoyed and said: "I mean, what if, what if I fail to give birth to a son and a half..."
"It's simple, just adopt one. My father is an orphan who was later adopted by my grandfather." Sun Ye said solemnly.
Yimei fell silent...the two were relatively speechless.
After a while, Yimei returned behind the screen, while Sun Ye and Zhou Dacheng retreated.
Nangong Yue looked at her with a smile, without urging her, but from the question and answer just now, Nangong Yue could still judge that this Sun Ye's personality was quite free and easy, and she was a good match for Yimei.
Yimei finally showed a trace of shyness on her face, and said in a low voice: "Everything will be arranged by the Crown Princess."
Means, yes.
Lily was even happier than her, her eyes sparkled, she almost jumped up, Nangong Yue also showed relief.
She hoped that this time, Yimei could get a good marriage and forget all the past.
Not only Yimei, but also Baihe, Nangong Yue secretly thought about marrying them both years ago. It's okay for Yimei to say that Lily is going to get married, and as soon as she waits for a maid, one of her places will be vacated, and she has to be promoted again, not to mention anything else, at least she must be loyal and sensible.
Now she has to rely on these big maids for a lot of things, and those second-class maids are also taken care of by them, so Nangong Yue simply asked Lily to pay attention to who can replace her. .
Lily immediately understood what Nangong Yue meant, and she couldn't help but blush even though she was always cheerful.
Nangong Yue's life is quite comfortable, except that she will miss Xiao Yi when she is free.
Sometimes she would go to the study in the outer room, open the map, and wonder where Xiao Yizheng was...
Unlike the peaceful Zhennan Palace, there are always waves in the capital.
After the emperor came back from the Yinglan Palace, he would announce the five princes to the imperial study to watch the government every day, and occasionally handed him some simple notes for review, giving him pointers from time to time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that, except Apart from that title, the emperor has already regarded the fifth prince as a prince and is training him. And the fifth prince is also up to the mark, and has a very good reputation in the court, and he always wins the emperor's praise.
Originally, those courtiers who had already stood in line because of the merit of the dragon also began to secretly think about whether their decision was correct.
Even the three grown-up princes behaved peacefully, unobtrusively. But I don't know if the emperor's attitude towards these three princes is very cold for the sake of peace of mind of the five princes. For this reason, the courtiers have speculated. I am afraid that only Guan Yubai in the royal capital knows that because of the "unresolved" poisoning of the queen mother, the emperor is somewhat wary of these three sons.
The situation in North Korea and China is fairly stable, and even the peace talks with Baiyue are advancing step by step.
Since Xiao Yi was sent out of the capital, Guan Yubai was in charge of the peace talks. Although Guan Yubai was not as strong and overbearing as Xiao Yi, with the appearance of a gentle gentleman, but every time the negotiation ended, the Baiyue envoys who came out of it all had pale faces and dull eyes.
The emperor was very satisfied with the progress of the peace talks, and from time to time he found all kinds of excuses to reward An Yihou's mansion.
In this way, the time gradually arrived in mid-October.
As usual, on the first day of every ten days, Nangong Yue would hand out a sign to the palace to say hello.
First went to the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace, chatted with the Empress Dowager for a while, then went to Fengluan Palace.
Xueqin led Nangong Yue to the East Nuan Room of Fengluan Palace, just when she raised the door curtain, she heard the queen's angry reprimand from inside: "This Princess Qi really doesn't know what to say!"
What happened to Princess Qi? Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and followed Xueqin into the East Nuan Pavilion.
Sitting on the rosewood Luohan bed, the queen said sullenly: "Arrange a room for Brother Jun!? I don't know how she came up with it!"
The more the queen thought about it, the angrier she became. On weekdays, Princess Qi wished that Lord Han Huai, the eldest son of the concubine, would not exist, but seeing that the wedding date was approaching, she went to the palace to tell herself yesterday that she would arrange two rooms for Lord Han Huai so that he could come to Japan in the future. Able to serve the eldest son and eldest mistress.
The empress felt disgusted at that time, and wished that someone would drive her out immediately, but the mother-in-law arranged a house for the concubine, and she couldn't control it even if she was the empress. Fortunately, the emperor later told her that Mr. Han Huai had come to invite the emperor to come forward, completely dispelling Princess Qi's ridiculous idea.
At that time, the queen was glad that Mr. Han Huai was a good boy. Today, Jiang Yixi came to pay his respects, and the queen told her specially, thinking that she could cherish this marriage even more. However, the empress still couldn't hide her unhappiness when she mentioned the unknown princess Qi.
Jiang Yixi naturally believed in Mr. Han Huai. Sitting on the lower armchair, she pursed her lips and said softly with a smile: "Auntie, don't be so angry."
When she was in Changle Palace, Nangong Yue heard the queen mother mention that Jiang Yixi had also entered the palace, so she was not surprised to see her now.
Nangong Yue did not shy away and interjected: "With the protection of the Empress and Brother Han, Sister Xi must not suffer." She winked at Jiang Yixi as she spoke, and Jiang Yixi couldn't help showing a smile on her face. red.
Nangong Yue bowed to the queen.
After the queen bestowed her seat, Nangong Yue sat down beside Jiang Yixi.
The queen took a sip of tea and sighed slowly: "Hey, that means Brother Jun has a good character, otherwise..." She shook her head and looked at Jiang Yixi regretfully... Bastard, in the end it was Jiang Yixi who was wronged. Fortunately, Brother Jun is a good boy. It's a pity that Prince Qi's mansion is too messy, and it's inevitable that sister Xi will suffer some grievances after she gets married.
It's not easy to be a concubine and daughter-in-law, let alone such a concubine.
Jiang Yixi naturally understood the empress' love for her, straightened her back, looked at the empress for a moment and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely live my life well..." I will not let down your caring heart.
Jiang Yixi has already figured it out. After she gets married, she will inevitably face Princess Qi's difficulties and harsh words in her daily life. Such sarcastic remarks and all kinds of mocking eyes can be said to have been tempered.
As long as she and Mr. Han Huai are united, Concubine Qi can only get some lip service. As long as she decides on etiquette, as the eldest daughter of Duke Enguo's mansion, would Concubine Qi dare to do something to her
The Empress looked at Jiang Yixi with a little smile in her eyes again, her niece really did not waste the teachings of her mother, Mrs. En Guogong!
At this time, the little maid respectfully reported: "Empress, the third concubine is here!"
"Xuan." The queen didn't seem surprised, showing a half-smile expression.
But Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi were a little surprised. Logically speaking, the third prince has already opened his residence outside the palace. Except for the first day, the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and the holidays, if there is no important matter, the third prince and concubine don't need it either. Entering the palace to pay respects to the queen, then why did Cui Yanyan come today
Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi exchanged a look, both of them were very interested.
After a while, Cui Yanyan entered the palace under the guidance of the maid, her gaze quickly passed over Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi, and then she kept her eyes fixed.
"Daughter-in-law pays respects to the queen." Cui Yanyan respectfully bowed her knees to salute the queen, and said joyfully, "Daughter-in-law has something special to report to the queen!"
Great joy? What great joy can the Third Prince's Mansion have? Nangong Yue is thoughtful, could it be that...
After giving Cui Yanyan a seat, the empress said: "Third concubine, what good news do you have to share with your mother?"
A strange look flashed in Cui Yanyan's eyes, and she quickly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Mother, side concubine Baiyi has been feeling unwell for the past few days. My daughter-in-law invited the imperial physician to go to the house early in the morning to check the pulse of Baiyi's younger sister. The imperial doctor said it was a happy pulse."
That's true. Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, it was a coincidence.
The empress had already known the "good news" from Nanny Gao, but acted as if she had just heard the good news, and said overjoyedly: "This is the eldest grandson of the emperor and my palace! This good news must be delivered quickly." Someone tell the emperor." She winked, and a little servant rushed to report the news.
The queen inquired carefully about the symptoms and the month of the clothes, and then rewarded some precious herbal supplements and silk cloth, and told Cui Yanyan to take good care of the royal blood.
Cui Yanyan answered one by one in an orderly manner, and thanked her for putting on her clothes, her words and deeds were impeccable.
After having a conversation with the queen, Cui Yanyan took the initiative to leave in a timely manner, went to Concubine Zhang to report the good news, and then left the palace in a Zhulun chariot.
For Cui Yanyan, it was a surprise for Cui Yanyan to suddenly become pregnant.
It was only the third day after returning to the capital, and they hurriedly left the palace to open the mansion. In order to show virtuousness, Cui Yanyan specially gave the best courtyard in the inner courtyard to Bai Muxiao, which made Han Lingfu very satisfied. And Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao also reconciled shortly thereafter. Since then, the two of them have been talking to each other, and Han Lingfu has never been in the room where clothes are placed... For a while, Cui Yanyan almost thought that she Did the plan to share the favor with clothes by clothes failed
did not expect--
Bai Yi was pregnant at this time!
Cui Yanyan can be sure that after she put her clothes through the door, she did not have sex with the third prince. Doubts have answers:
These two people are afraid that they have already made up their minds before putting on their clothes and passing through the door!
It's no wonder that the emperor hastily issued an order to let the clothes go through the door...
Thinking about it, the corner of Cui Yanyan's mouth curled up slightly. Since Han Lingfu can have a moment with Bai Yichunxiao, it means that Bai Muxiao is just like that in his heart, so the third concubine himself must be the one who laughs last.
As for the clothes, Cui Yanyan doesn't pay much attention to them. Although the clothes are a beautiful Xieyu flower, she is from Baiyue. Even if the child she gave birth to is the emperor's grandson, she is nothing, and it is impossible to continue in the future. It is even more impossible for Han Lingfu's Wang Jue to put on his clothes and be promoted as his wife instead of himself!
And if Bai Yi wants to live a stable life in the Third Prince's Mansion, he must rely on himself to compete with Bai Muxiao for favor!
Just for this reason, Cui Yanyan felt that she had to take good care of Bai Yi and let her give birth to a child, so as to make Bai Muxiao sick.
While thinking, the speed of Zhu Luncar slowed down, and the Third Prince's Mansion arrived.
After Cui Yanyan went back to her Fuquyuan to take a shower and change clothes, the sky was already dim, and it was time to settle down again in the morning and evening.
The maid led Bai Muxiao and Baiyi over to greet Cui Yanyan.
Cui Yanyan's eyes paused for a while on the belly of the clothes with a smile, and then looked at the expressionless Bai Muxiao, a smug glint flashed in her eyes.
What's the use of having a good relationship between Bai Muxiao and Han Lingfu, who will let her belly down!
"Greetings to my sister!"
After Bai Yi got off, Cui Yanyan signaled the servant girl to help her up, and said affectionately: "Sister Bai Yi, you are pregnant, so you don't need to be so polite."
After Bai Yi respectfully thanked her, Cui Yanyan said with a smile: "Today I have entered the palace to tell the good news to my father, mother and mother-in-law. Father and mother are very happy, and rewarded a lot of things to Bai Yi's younger sister."
Cui Yanyan's nanny, Mother Lin, immediately signaled the maids to take all the emperor's rewards into the house one by one, and the whole room was filled in one fell swoop.
"Please also ask my sister to thank my father and queen for the clothes." Bai Yi blessed himself again without much gratitude, and was helped by the maid again.
Cui Yanyan quickly glanced at Bai Muxiao, whose face was sinking like water, and felt happy in her heart, and then said warmly: "Sister Baiyi, you have twin bodies now, and your Highness's eldest son in your belly, you must take care of yourself. With such a healthy body, I don’t need to come over to say hello in the future, I just need to rest and take care of my baby.”
But Bai Yi said righteously: "Thank you sister for your caring heart, but the rules can't be broken, how can Bai Yi be proud of being favored." As she spoke, she shyly stroked her flat stomach, looking expectant, "Whether it's a son or a daughter, it's His Highness's blood... Elder sister, Bai Yi thinks that when the child is born, I will send it to my elder sister to raise it. I don't know what my elder sister wants?"
"Sister Baiyi, have you thought it through?" Cui Yanyan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she deliberately reminded, "According to the rules, although concubines are not qualified to raise children, but sister Baiyi, after all, you are a high-grade prince and side concubine. They can raise their children by themselves.”
Bai Yi smiled slightly, and flattered meekly: "Sister is His Royal Highness's concubine, and also the mother of this child. It is a blessing for this child to be brought up by her sister!"
Cui Yanyan curled her mouth and smiled with satisfaction.
Which mother would be willing to give her child to someone else? This gesture of putting on clothes is naturally showing her loyalty to herself!
Regardless of whether the child is male or female, to the third prince, it is his first child. Once this child is raised in his own yard, even if it is for this child, the third prince will definitely come to him often, As time went on, she would not be afraid to cover his heart.
And with this child in my hands, I don't dare to have a different heart when I put clothes on in the future.
This dress is really sensible! It doesn't look like someone...
Cui Yanyan gave Bai Muxiao a cool look, but Bai Muxiao remained silent for the whole time like a sculpture, Cui Yanyan said a few more words to Bai Yi, and then felt that it was extremely boring, so she casually sent them back.
Bai Muxiao returned to her Xinghui Courtyard in silence all the way. After entering the house, she stopped suddenly and remained motionless. The mask she had been wearing on her face instantly shattered, and her right hand unconsciously grabbed the fabric on her chest. .
She thought she was already mentally prepared, and she told herself that she couldn't let outsiders see her jokes... But her heart really hurts! It hurts!
How did she and Han Lingfu get to where they are today?!
"Girl," Bihen looked at Bai Muxiao worriedly, "Actually, Your Highness..."
"Stop talking!" Bai Muxiao interrupted Bihen sharply. What else can Bihen say besides speaking for Han Lingfu... She is tired of hearing these words! She has violated her principles, forgave his betrayal, and backed down step by step, but what did she get in return
It's a bigger betrayal!
At this time, Bi Luo suddenly ran in panting, breathless and said: "Girl, Your Highness is coming!" After a pause, she explained as if thinking of something, "When your Highness returns to the mansion, you can directly You're coming to our Xinghui Courtyard!" His Highness didn't go to the Third Prince's Concubine, nor did he go to the side concubine's, obviously, the people His Highness cares most about are their girls!
Bihen also showed joy, and wanted to persuade Bai Muxiao again, but she was afraid that it would be self-defeating.
While hesitating, Bihen saw Han Lingfu strolling into the courtyard from the corner of his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "See Your Highness." Biluo did the same, only Bai Muxiao remained motionless, with his back to Han Lingfu.
Bihen and Biluo glanced at each other and exited the room.
The room was silent, Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao's back complicatedly, she was thin, thin, but strong. She was obviously so close to him, so close that he could touch it with his hand, but it seemed that he was far away, as if thousands of miles were separated.
"Xiao'er..."
I don't know how long it took before Han Lingfu spit out these two words.
Bai Muxiao turned around slowly, her pair of misty black eyes were so clear and bright, as if weeping or complaining, resentment or sadness.
The look in her eyes made Han Lingfu's heart ache, and he took a step closer to her, "Xiao'er, listen to me..."
"What else is there to say!" Bai Muxiao's eyes became more steamy.
He said that he was framed by Xiao Yi, that's why he had a relationship with Bai Yi Chun Xiao, she understood his difficulties, sympathized with his involuntary, and chose to forgive him, but now
Bai Yi is pregnant!
Once this child is born, it will remind her day and night that he betrayed her! He let other women have his flesh and blood!
This ink dot will remain on their love that was originally as white as paper forever, and it can't be washed off even after washing!
"Xiao'er..." Han Lingfu only felt that Bai Muxiao's pain seemed to be transmitted to him, and he never thought that it was just one day, just one time, that Bai Yi would be pregnant...
It happened at this time that Xiao'er finally forgave him, and finally they seemed to have returned to the sweetness they used to have...
This kid came at such an inopportune time!
In an instant, countless emotions flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and finally he sighed, and said ruthlessly: "Xiao'er, I will ask someone to send a bowl of soup to Baiyi..." Anyway, this child is half of Baiyue blood, It's hard to make a big deal, why should he make Xiao'er unhappy because of this child...
Is he telling the truth? Bai Muxiao looked up at Han Lingfu in disbelief, almost blurting out, but she swallowed the words again.
This must not be said by her...
If she really said it, what would he think of her in the future? Would he think she was a woman with a vicious mind
Bai Muxiao's eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "Your Highness, although I am angry, I am sad, and I am even more sad, but that child is always a small life, and he still has half of His Highness's blood, how can I bear it?" Watching him die young..."
"Xiao'er!" Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao with emotion, his eyes were as tender as water, and his heart was filled with excitement.
In Xiao'er's heart, he is indeed the most important! Xiao'er has always had her own principles, but for him, Xiao'er is willing to back down again and again.
Han Lingfu said with relief: "Xiao'er, don't worry, this child will never affect us.... In the future, we will have our children! Everything about me will be inherited by our children."
When it comes to the moment of emotion, Han Lingfu embraced Bai Muxiao tenderly and affectionately, but he didn't see the gloomy eyes of Bai Muxiao who was buried in his chest.
She didn't expect Han Lingfu to give up so easily without even persisting. Sure enough, to him, children are really different!
If he really cared about her in his heart, shouldn't he think about her
This child is the stain between them!
He keeps saying that he loves her, he keeps saying that he only has her in his heart, but in fact his heart is too big, and there are too many things occupying his mind... and now there is one more.
She will no longer believe his sweet words.
All she can rely on is herself... and rights!
