As soon as Nangong Yue returned to Fufengyuan, Que'er, who was guarding the entrance of the room, eagerly greeted her, and said, "Concubine Shizi, you are finally back!"
Seeing Que'er's strange tone, Nangong Yue frowned and asked, "What happened in the palace?"
Que'er paused for a moment, looked back, and then said in a slightly stiff tone: "It's nothing, you are tired, Shi Zifei, go to the room to rest."
Nangong Yue felt that Que'er was really weird, but she still entered the house, and Que'er hurriedly helped her to draw the curtain. As soon as she entered the inner room, Nangong Yue met a pair of bright black peach blossom eyes. She widened her eyes in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Ah Yi!"
In an instant, I understood everything! No wonder Que'er's tone was weird just now!
Que'er hurriedly stepped back with Baihui Lily and the others, heaving a sigh of relief. She was startled by the sudden return of the crown prince, and she couldn't tell others, so she was in a state of anxiety for the half hour just now, and she kept stretching her neck looking forward to the return of the crown prince.
However, the more anxious you are, the slower time passes...
Xiao Yi was also emotionally moved. He finally hurried back to the capital, thinking of quietly coming to see Nangong Yue before returning to the palace. Who knew that Nangong Yue was not there!
When he ate, she still didn't come back; when he finished washing, she still didn't come back; when his wet hair was half dry, she... she finally came back!
Xiao Yi pursed his lips aggrievedly, and looked at Nangong Yue with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Nangong Yue looked stupidly at the "beauty" who was leaning on the beauty couch in a white coat!
Although he washed up a lot, he still felt tired all over his body after a long journey. There was a circle of fine blue beard stubble on his chin, which made his unparalleled face look a little decadent, as if there was a little more. Very mature.
It seems that every time Xiao Yi leaves, she secretly grows a lot... Nangong Yue thought in a complicated way.
Because she didn't move for a long time and didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Yi felt even more wronged, wrinkled his handsome face, and was about to support himself, but saw Nangong Yue rushing towards him like a swallow returning to its nest.
The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he hugged Nephrite Wenxiang to his full arms, with a smile in his eyes.
That's right!
This is the right way to welcome you!
This is what it feels like to be home!
He is finally home!
Xiao Yi's heart, which had been a little erratic, finally settled down, like a lone boat that had found a harbor, and no longer needed to wander.
"Ayi, you're back." Nangong Yue murmured, her voice was full of coquettishness that she didn't even notice, and she put her nose on his chest, sniffing hard that there was still a trace of wetness on his body. The smell of gas.
Yes, he's back! It's his smell.
Nangong Yue unconsciously clutched the cloth on his body.
"Well! I'm back!" Feeling her joy, Xiao Yi raised the corners of his mouth even higher, and tightened his grip on Nangong Yue...
But at this warm moment, Nangong Yue suddenly struggled in Xiao Yi's arms and pushed him away. Xiao Yi looked at her in bewilderment, but saw her looking at him with a serious face and said: "You are not injured this time, are you?" Last time Xiao Yi came back from Southern Xinjiang with various injuries, including chest injuries. The flesh scar on her body was at least three inches long! The scar has not completely faded until now, every time Nangong Yue sees it, every time she thinks about it, her heart aches.
Xiao Yi was startled, a warm current flashed in his heart, he grinned instinctively, revealing his dazzlingly white teeth... But because of Nangong Yue's dignified little face, he quickly put a smile on his face, and said seriously: "Stinky girl, do you believe me?" I, I'm fine! Absolutely not hurt at all!"
Nangong Yue squinted at Xiao Yi, and that half-smile look seemed to say: Believe you? I don't want to think about who kept it from me last time!
Xiao Yi touched his nose dejectedly, then thought of something, deliberately lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Stinky girl, when I come back from the palace, let you check it like last time, okay?"
Check like last time? Isn't that just unbuttoning clothes and rolling up trousers...
Nangong Yue glared at him pretending to be angry. She cared about him, but it was good for him to tease her!
Xiao Yi didn't care at all, he just felt that his stinky girl was extremely beautiful no matter how she frowns, smiles, angers and angers. He couldn't help but picked her up again, rubbing his chin on the top of her hair.
"Smelly girl, wait for a while when I come back from the palace, you can check it however you want!"
This guy is still making trouble! Nangong Yue pushed him away again, trying to stare at him, trying to show momentum, but her eyes were as red as rabbits, and she didn't have any dignity at all.
She helped Xiao Yi straighten the skirt of his jacket, and said: "Since you want to go to the palace to report to the emperor, you should hurry up."
Although Nangong Yue was also reluctant to chase Xiao Yi away, Xiao Yi had the emperor's order to go out this time, so he should return to the palace first. He went early and returned early so that he could rest earlier.
This trip, although she didn't know what happened, but Xiao Yi's trip to Baiyue must be extremely difficult and dangerous.
Xiao Yi was even more reluctant, he stared at Nangong Yue for a long time, and felt that it was enough for him to survive the next hour, so he sighed reluctantly: "Stinky girl, then I'll go first." Said Then, Xiao Yi put back the stinky robe and left without disturbing anyone.
As soon as Xiao Yi left, Baihui and Baihe entered the room, and there was a hint of ridicule in Baihe's eyes.
In fact, different from last year's offering captives at the Meridian Gate, Xiao Yi needed the emperor's order to enter the city, and there were complicated captive offering ceremonies. This time, Xiao Yi just went to the palace to recover his life and then returned to the palace in a fair manner. However, he couldn't even wait for that time, and insisted on sneaking back to the palace alone, which frightened the poor Que'er.
How could Nangong Yue not understand this, but she was still happy in her heart, her pretty face was slightly flushed, and her face was radiant, as if the fatigue of the day had disappeared in an instant.
Nangong Yue hurriedly ordered Baihui and Baihe: "Quickly order the kitchen to prepare a table of good dishes, and say that the son has returned to the capital, and now he is returning to the saint."
"Yes, Shizifei." Baihui got busy.
When Xiao Yi wanted to come back, the kitchen wasn't the only one that was busy. Lily was about to leave as well, but when she heard Nangong Yue exclaimed suddenly, Lily looked at her in surprise.
Nangong Yue showed a rare shyness on her face, and murmured: "I forgot to tell sister A Yifei about it..." Just now she was only talking to Xiao Yi, she really forgot about Xiao Fei's presence in the capital Get it clean.
It was rare to see Nangong Yue's childish look, Baihe couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said: "Concubine Shizi, this servant will go and inform the eldest girl immediately."
Nangong Yue nodded, and then said: "Also, I don't know if Zhu Xing knows about it, so you should go and say hello."
After Lily responded, she quickly backed away.
The news that the eldest son returned to the royal capital spread throughout the entire palace in the blink of an eye, injecting vitality into the entire palace, and the servants all took action under the command of the steward...
Xiao Fei, who had just finished writing the chess score silently, came over soon after hearing the news and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can do for you?"
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue anxiously. To be honest, Xiao Fei felt a little weird when she thought of seeing her eldest brother Xiao Yi soon. She has always looked at her eldest brother with contempt, even though he defeated Baiyue for Nanjiang and Dayu last year, in her eyes, he is still that useless playboy...
Now that I think about it, what was it that blinded her eyes, no, or blinded her mind, so that she became so blind and so self-righteous!
Thinking of her in southern Xinjiang, the one who was like a frog in a well, the one who didn't hear anything outside the window, Xiao Fei was almost ashamed.
Fortunately, she chose to come to Wangdu this time!
Although her mother Xiao Fang's various actions made her feel ashamed, but it is better than living in a daze like in the past!
Nangong Yue did not hesitate to do everything about Xiao Yi herself. She originally wanted to say no, but the moment she spoke, she suddenly felt Xiao Fei's subtle emotions.
Nangong Yue suddenly realized that Xiao Fei also hoped to do something for Xiao Yi, the eldest brother, right
Nangong Yue immediately changed her words: "Sister Fei, I have ordered the kitchen to make dinner, but your elder brother doesn't know how much time it will take in the palace, so help me go to the kitchen and make some warm food first dishes, and cook a few more dishes that your elder brother likes..." In fact, these things do not require Xiao Fei to go to the kitchen in person, and Nangong Yue is just looking for something for Xiao Fei to do.
But Xiao Fei, who is obsessive, didn't know, she nodded solemnly, already thinking that she would have to ask the kitchen later which dishes can't be kept warm for a long time, and what kind of dishes does her elder brother like? I don't know anything about it.
While blaming herself, Xiao Fei went to the kitchen under Taoyao's guidance...
After two full hours, the sky was already mostly dark. Some of the meat dishes in the kitchen are already so warm that the chef is worried about whether there will be odors.
With the gatekeeper shouting: "The son is back!" The whole house shook again.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei both went to the second gate to greet each other in person, and Xiao Yi couldn't wait, he really wanted to have a good meal with his stinky girl later and whisper something... But who knows, He just rode a horse into the gate, and he was dumbfounded!
He blinked in disbelief, almost wondering if he was hallucinating, and blurted out: "Xiao Fei, why are you here?!" He stared at Xiao Fei, his eyebrows curled up, and he got off his horse.
Xiao Fei was originally looking forward to Xiao Yi's return and was a little apprehensive, but with Xiao Yi's almost questioning tone, that mood disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Fei couldn't help but pouted.
Not to mention anything else, big brother is still the same as before, rude!
My sister-in-law is so knowledgeable and dignified, it's a pity to be paired with such a reckless brother!
Thinking, Xiao Fei frowned slightly, a real lady like sister-in-law, a talented woman from a famous family, should be matched with a graceful and elegant talent.
Hey, it's all because the emperor messed up the mandarin ducks, so that the big sister-in-law's flower was stuck on the big brother's cow dung.
Xiao Fei's look of disdain was revealed unpretentiously, and since she was sensible, Xiao Yi had seen this look a lot... However, the look of dislike this time seemed to be a little different from before. What's different
Xiao Yi didn't have time to think about this, he was really annoyed, when he was in Luoyue City a few days ago, he actually forgot to ask Tian He if Xiao Fei had returned to Southern Xinjiang.
This is all preconceived fault!
He has always known that his stinky girl is by no means the one to be bullied. Last time, Mother Yi was packed and thrown back to Nanjiang by her, so he decided that even if Xiao Fei had not been bullied by the people from the Nanjiang Palace, Chasing back, it is probably inevitable that a fate similar to that of Nanny Yi will be unavoidable.
But who would have thought that Xiao Fei would appear here, and stand side by side with Nangong Yue to greet her... The weirdest thing is that she seems to get along very well with the stinky girl
What happened during his absence in the capital?!
The corners of Xiao Yi's eyes twitched endlessly.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei for a while, and Xiao Yi for a while. The agitation in her heart caused by Xiao Yi's return had dissipated at this moment. She didn't know whether it was helpless or funny.
Is this brother and sister a natural conflict
Nangong Yue was speechless, but she couldn't let the siblings stare at each other, so she said, "Ah Yi, you must be hungry because you have been exhausted all the way. Let's hurry in and have dinner."
When Xiao Yi saw Nangong Yue, his eyes softened, and he responded obediently.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei's complexion softened a little, and she thought: Eldest brother still knows how to listen to sister-in-law, so it's not too hopeless.
The three of them went to the main room of Fufengyuan to eat together. The servants moved very quickly, and the food in the room had already been seated one by one, and they were all steaming hot.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Nangong Yue said: "Ayi, this table of dishes was arranged by Sister Fei. Look, it's all your favorite dishes!"
Xiao Yi casually glanced at the table, and immediately picked out two vegetarian dishes that didn't suit his taste, thinking: cooking is the job of the kitchen, what strength Xiao Fei can use, I don't know what Xiao Fei can do. What kind of poison did the stinky girl play?!
The brothers and sisters had no taste for this feast, Xiao Fei was so cautious that he didn't eat much, while Xiao Yi blindly only cared about filling his stomach... Xiao Fei looked at the graceful posture of his sister-in-law for a while, and then again for a while. The elder brother looked like a cow drinking, and sighed secretly again: the toad really ate the swan meat. Hey, I have to treat my sister-in-law better!
Xiao Yi was almost irritated by Xiao Fei's disgusting eyes again, he endured and endured, and finally endured the meal... When Xiao Fei left, he was urged by Nangong Yue to wash up, and when the maids all When they retreated and there were only the two of them left in the inner room, it was already late at night.
"Stinky girl," Xiao Yi finally asked impatiently, "Why is Xiao Fei still here?"
Nangong Yue knew that he had been suppressed for a long time, so she told about how Xiao Fei got to the capital all the way... When Xiao Yi heard that the girl from Xiao Fei's dignified Zhennan Palace was almost kidnapped on the road, she no longer knew say what. A girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken dares to go out with two maids, and has safely rushed to the capital from the southern border thousands of miles away, her life is good enough!
Nangong Yue continued to talk, and when she finished talking, she said with a smile on her face: "... Sister Fei is actually a good girl. It's rare that she has a good temper, can listen to words, and is well-behaved and sensible. Even if there is something wrong occasionally, let’s teach it well in the future.”
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, and thought to himself: Seeing that Xiao Fei was with the stinky girl who was with him when he was not around, let's try to treat her a little better in the future.
etc!
Xiao Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and Xiao Fei's disgusted look just now appeared in his mind. Does his sister think that she is not good enough for a stinky girl
For a moment, Xiao Yi felt the truth, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
His sister is really not cute at all!
At this time, Nangong Yue talked about the situation in the capital these days.
Finally, she finished her part, and she was a little parched, followed by her while holding up the teacup in hand, while signaling with her eyes that it was his turn.
Xiao Yi started talking about when he saw Tian He in Luoyue City, about them sneaking into Baiyue's Ruijiang City secretly, about how they tempted the sixth prince of Baiyue, about how he coerced the fourth prince to initiate a palace change... Nangong Yue kept smiling. Looking at him, Xiao Yi has never been someone in the pool, she has known this for a long time!
Nangong Yue's eyes were sparkling, with a bit of casual charm.
Xiao Yi's heart became hot, and he held her hand, looking at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
The two looked at each other, warm and quiet.
After a while, Xiao Yi opened his mouth and said directly: "...Stinky girl, we will be leaving for southern Xinjiang soon, and it will take another month or two at most."
Although Nangong Yue is a bit reluctant, this day will come sooner or later. Xiao Yi is an eagle, how could he be willing to be trapped in the cage of the king's capital? From the moment Nangong Yue agreed to marry Xiao Yi, she knew that one day She will go to southern Xinjiang with Xiao Yi.
She hated her parents, brother, friends...
However, she was even more reluctant to part with A Yi!
They will be together forever, forever!
The two held hands, their eyes were intertwined, and everything was silent...
She nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Let's go back together." She didn't ask the emperor if he would let them go, since Xiao Yi said so, there must be an arrangement, she just needs to wait.
After saying this, Xiao Yi hugged her and rubbed against her again, blinked frivolously and said, "Smelly girl, didn't you say you wanted to check for me before?"
He pulled the front of the front, pretending to be a shy little girl, seeing Nangong Yue's forehead twitch, and she stood up silently.
Xiao Yi hurriedly stood up, hugged her slender waist from behind, and said sullenly: "Stinky girl, I miss you!"
The few words made Nangong Yue's heart soften again, and she turned around slowly... Xiao Yi took the opportunity to lean over and kiss her quickly on the other side of the mouth, and then he didn't like it, so he kissed her on the other side , and then again...
Nangong Yue's pretty face was flushed by his kiss, and she pushed him away pretending to be fierce, and said with disgust: "The scum on my face makes me hurt and itchy!" Her eyes are warm and soft, so that No matter how strong that tone is, it has no credibility.
Xiao Yi laughed even more happily, leaned over reluctantly, deliberately rubbed the stubble on her chin against her fair and tender face, and complained with a pout: "Stinky girl, you actually despise me!"
Nangong Yue was tickled by his stubble, and couldn't help laughing, dodging and exclaiming.
The two laughed and quarreled for a while, Nangong Yue's physical strength naturally couldn't keep up with Xiao Yi, and finally nestled in his arms panting, listening to his strong heartbeat quietly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
That regular heartbeat reassured Nangong Yue, only to hear Xiao Yi's voice above her head saying: "Smelly girl, let's go back to Nangong Mansion to celebrate the New Year together tomorrow." Xiao Yi has been away from the capital for several months, and now I finally came back, and I was supposed to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Nangong Yue responded, found a more comfortable position for herself in his arms, continued to lean against him, and said softly: "...we still have to go to Xishangang."
Xishangang…
Both of them knew what Xishangang meant.
"Stinky girl, you have to get up early tomorrow, I'll take you to bed and rest." Xiao Yi hugged Nangong Yueheng and walked towards the bed.
Nangong Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "A Yi, you should rest earlier." Xiao Yi must be exhausted from the journey!
Xiao Yi responded, and said: "I'll just sleep on the beauty's couch." After finally coming back, he didn't want to go to sleep in a deserted room alone!
Nangong Yue lay sideways on the bed, watching Xiao Yi make up the bedding on the beauty couch by self-reliance.
Although there are two pots of fire burning in the room, the weather is cold after all. This beauty's couch is not like the kang burning in the banquet room. Xiao Yi will be cold when he sleeps like this? Nangong Yue's heart softened, and she blurted out: "Ah Yi, are you cold? Or come to sleep on the bed?" As soon as the words fell, Nangong Yue's cheeks "swiped" and turned red, it sounded like she was recommending a pillow mat. But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to change them.
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and he almost wanted to ask "Really?", but he bit his tongue and stopped the words. He wouldn't be right with his good luck!
His peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, he almost couldn't wait to throw the bedclothes on the beauty's couch, and walked over happily.
Nangong Yue's cheeks were hot, and she subconsciously moved inside to make room for him.
Xiao Yi hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed, just took off his shoes, and before he had time to lie down, he heard a soft knock on the door from outside, followed by Baihui's voice: "Master Liu, Eunuch Liu is here, They are in the front yard, saying that the emperor has something important to see you."
Xiao Yi's face was full of grievances, the rare good luck was gone like this.
Nangong Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly urged him: "The emperor is looking for you, go quickly."
Xiao Yi hugged her tightly, took a deep breath in her hair, and rubbed her hair hard, then he refused to let go, "Don't get up, I'll be back when I go."
Nangong Yue's cheeks were still hot, so she just wrapped herself in a quilt and watched him put on his clothes, and warned, "Be careful on the road."
Xiao Yi showed a bright smile, and left in a hurry.
Nangong Yue covered her cheeks with her hands, and a casual smile overflowed her lips.
Xiao Yi soon arrived at the front yard, and then entered the palace with Liu Gonggong.
Entering the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Eternal Life, a burst of warmth rushed over, even Guan Yubai was there.
Before Xiao Yi could salute, the emperor raised his hand to signal him to excuse him, and then said: "A Yi, I just received a secret report from Baiyue."
"Does Baiyue want to go to war again?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but eagerly said, "Uncle Emperor, why don't you send your nephew to fight again, so that they will never dare to break the border!"
The emperor couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You..." Then he sighed and said, "Baiyue didn't go to war, but I just got the news that the king of Baiyue died, and the fourth prince Nuhar inherited the throne."
Xiao Yi blurted out with a look of surprise, "Fourth prince?... the new king of Baiyue?"
The emperor nodded with a gloomy expression, "That's why I called you here."
The emperor gave Guan Yubai a somewhat complicated look. Guan Yubai had told him that day that Dayu could support the fourth prince and control Baiyue in his hands, but he hesitated. Even when Uncle Changping was sent to Baiyue this time, he secretly told Uncle Changping to inquire about the princes of the Baiyue King, and then wait for him to decide which one to support.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the fourth prince really came to the throne. If he had listened to Guan Yubai's words to support the fourth prince, there would be no troubles for Baiyue now! The more the emperor thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he didn't notice Xiao Xiao at all. Yi and Guan Yubai had already exchanged glances, while Guan Yubai slightly nodded to Xiao Yi.
No one knows the emperor of the dragon chair better than Guan Yubai.
The emperor is not a faint king, but the biggest problem is his suspicion and indecision, which is also doomed that he can only be conservative, but difficult to achieve great things. Guan Yubai knew that when he tried his best to propose to him that he could support the fourth prince of Baiyue, he would never agree immediately but would hesitate, or make another choice.
In this way, once the fourth prince really ascended the throne as the king of Baiyue, the emperor would only be annoyed that he didn't make a quick decision, and would not suspect that he and Xiao Yi had done something wrong...
