Gong Yuhai talked so eloquently that Pei Yuanchen's entire face turned black, thinking: Shameless, this is really shameless!... This kind of person is actually a dignified second-rank general soldier, which is really a shame for Dayu!
Cheng Luo has long been "knowing the elegant meaning of listening to string songs", this General Gong is here to give them a skinny horse!
On weekdays, it's not uncommon for them to send a maid to each other, so Cheng Luo didn't make too much fuss.
He couldn't help but looked at the three "righteous daughters" carefully again, and saw that although they stood dignifiedly and looked like ladies of every family, they had bright eyebrows, rolling eyes, and every frown and smile seemed to be full of embarrassment. The coquettishness of words.
It really deserves to be a thin horse in the south of the Yangtze River! Cheng Luo praised him in his heart. When Gong Ruhai finally finished speaking, he smiled and cupped his hands at the other party: "Mr. Gong, you're not welcome, my nephew?" He winked at Gong Yuhai frivolously.
Hearing that Cheng Luo was willing to accept it, Gong Ruhai immediately beamed with joy, and hurriedly said: "It's my daughter's blessing to be able to follow Nephew Cheng Xian!" He immediately changed his name to call Xian nephew affectionately, and looked eagerly at Xiao Yi and Pei Yuanchen , Xiao Yi still had the usual frivolous smile on the corner of his mouth, but Pei Yuanchen's face was as deep as water, even if he didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was displeased.
Before Gong Yuhai came, he had already inquired about the tempers of these three young masters, and knew that compared to Xiao Yi and Cheng Luo, Pei Yuanchen was more rigid and upright, but even if Pei Yuanchen refused to accept it today, as long as Xiao Yi and Cheng Luo accepted it, then he would also It's almost done... especially Xiao Yi.
Gong Yuhai looked at Xiao Yi expectantly.
Xiao Yi raised his brows slightly, grinning to reveal a mouthful of white and neat teeth, glanced sideways at the three adopted daughters, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gong, is Ling Ai really willing to follow this son without a name?"
There's drama! Gong Yuhai's eyes lit up, and he quickly echoed, "That's natural. It's their blessing to be able to follow Shizi."
"Then what if I want all three of my sons?" Xiao Yi raised the corners of his mouth even higher, looking at Gong Yuhai with a half-smile.
Unexpectedly, the heir of Zhennan Prince was really as unrestrained as the rumors. Gong Yuhai was overjoyed, but he glanced at Cheng Luo hesitantly. Who would have thought that Cheng Luo had already responded boldly: "Since big brother likes it, then let big brother do it all." yes."
Although Pei Yuanchen on the side didn't say anything, he faintly felt that something was wrong. Before he and Xiao Yi became in-laws, the two had no contact with each other, and only heard from other people how Xiao Yi was so dandy and useless, but in the past few years, with the increase in contacts between the two, Pei Yuanchen can at least be sure that Xiao Yi Yi is definitely not a simple playboy, and judging from Xiao Yi's daily relationship with his third aunt, he really doesn't look like the kind of person who is greedy for beauty...
Pei Yuanchen continued to watch quietly.
"Gong Yuhai." Xiao Yi asked Gong Yuhai again with a smile on his face, "If Ling Ai will follow my son in the future, will she have to listen to my son and not have the slightest objection?"
Gong Yuhai smiled knowingly and flatteringly, and said flatteringly: "That's natural. The so-called 'marrying and obeying your husband' means that if you are with Xiao Shizi, you will be Xiao Shizi's person. Naturally, you have to listen to Shizi in everything, and there is no second word!"
With a wink from him, the three charming righteous daughters behind him immediately saluted neatly: "I have met my son."
"Then I'm relieved!" Xiao Yi nodded in relief and smiled wickedly.
Seeing this smile, Cheng Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he began to express sympathy for Gong Yuhai in his heart: based on his understanding of the elder brother, every time the elder brother smiles like this, someone must be in trouble!
really--
Xiao Yi said casually: "My son appreciates Zongbing Gong very much, let's do a favor today and give these girls to Zongbing Gong!"
What?! Gong Yuhai couldn't believe his ears, he was almost dumbfounded.
Xiao Yi, however, seemed not to have seen it, he cupped his hands frivolously and continued: "This son here wishes Gong Zongbing and Ling Ai to have a happy marriage for a hundred years from now on, and to have a precious son soon..."
The room was completely silent, and no one could make a sound.
Even Pei Yuanchen, who can't get used to Gong Yuhai, doesn't know what to say. He just thinks that the second brother-in-law's style of behavior is really shocking. He doesn't shy away from worldly eyes. No wonder he has such a reputation in Wangdu!
Gong Yuhai's heart was up and down, and now he hated Xiao Yi almost to death, his old face was flushed red with embarrassment, and his forehead was even more bulging. This Zhennan prince is really hateful, even if he is unwilling to accept the beauty, there is no need to humiliate himself like this!
How can I say that I am also a dignified second-rank general soldier!
If it weren't for the fact that his current situation was too bad, Gong Yuhai would almost have a fit, but now he could only swallow his anger.
He took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said lightly: "Master, you are really good at making jokes."
He couldn't stay any longer, so he made an excuse and hurriedly left with the three adopted daughters.
Although he lost a beautiful woman for no reason, Cheng Luo's mood was not affected at all, and he continued to drink with Xiao Yi and Pei Yuanchen heartlessly, only listening to his witty remarks, and he could talk about any topic. With his mouth open, the atmosphere in the private seat has never been cold.
After the three of them had lunch together in Guiyuan Pavilion, Xiao Yi and Cheng Luo sent Pei Yuanchen back to the mansion first, and then they separated and went back to the mansion respectively.
Xiao Yi couldn't wait to go back to Fufengyuan, and excitedly raised the curtain and entered the small study.
"I'm back."
At this time, Jiang Yixi had already left, Nangong Yue was talking to Baihui and Que'er in the study, and the two maids were holding a peach pink dress.
Seeing Xiao Yi coming, the maid immediately put away her skirt and retreated tactfully.
"Ayi, you're back." Nangong Yue smiled and got up to meet him. He felt a little drunk all over, but his eyes were very clear. Presumably, he didn't drink too much.
Xiao Yi nodded, and said with great interest: "Smelly girl, you made new clothes? The color looks bright, please show me next time you wear them."
"It was made for Sister Fei." Nangong Yue explained with a smile, "The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and Sister Fei usually dresses more simply and elegantly, so I thought about the Lantern Festival so I asked the sewing room to make her a suit." The bright colors should correspond to solar terms... "
It's Xiao Fei again... Xiao Yi's face was a little stiff, and he accidentally thought of the same thing with Lily: Isn't the stinky girl being too kind to Xiao Fei? This is raising a daughter... Bah, bah, he won't have Xiao Fei is such an unlovable daughter!
Seeing his disgusted look, Nangong Yue couldn't help smiling, and also felt a little helpless.
It has to be said that the two brothers and sisters are quite alike, especially the look of disgust in their eyes.
No matter what, it takes time to get in. Nangong Yue was not in a hurry, and said with crooked eyes: "Ayi, you also have new clothes, which I made by myself, and there is still a gap. I will let you try to get them together tomorrow." does not fit."
Hearing that Nangong Yue made it for him by herself, Xiao Yi's peach blossom eyes sparkled immediately, his proud look seemed to say that the stinky girl is really the best for him! Xiao Fei and others should stand aside!
This Ah Yi is actually fighting for favor with his sister. The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curled up slightly uncontrollably, and she said again: "A Yi, did you have a good time with your eldest brother-in-law and fourth brother-in-law today?"
When she said this, Xiao Yi immediately remembered the business, and said with a smile: "Okay! Of course, someone generously gave us a skinny horse." Xiao Yi blinked while talking, as if to say, stinky Girl, I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts!
Skinny horse? Nangong Yue thoughtfully said: "That person's surname is Gong, right?"
How did the stinky girl know? Xiao Yi couldn't hide the astonishment on his face, and looked at her stupidly.
Nangong Yue found the answer from his expression, and repeated to Xiao Yi what Jiang Yixi said when he came to her this morning.
Xiao Yi snorted coldly, and said: "This princess Qi really dares to keep anything dirty and smelly in Prince Qi's mansion... Sometimes she regrets it."
Nangong Yue asked curiously: "What did Mr. Gong do?"
"It's not about the remnants of Jiangnan's former dynasty..." Xiao Yi never kept anything from her, and told everything in detail.
Xiao Yi returned to southern Xinjiang this time under the guise of going to the south of the Yangtze River to search for the remnants of the previous dynasty, so naturally he couldn't come back without finding anything. Although he didn't go to Jiangnan to investigate in person, he also sent someone to do it. The remnants of the former dynasty were indeed hidden in the south of the Yangtze River, and they supported the former emperor Murong Hua as the false king, and established a small imperial court in Xuzhou, Jiangnan, and the guard under Gong Yuhai's jurisdiction was in Xuzhou. Incompetent responsibility. This time, Gong Yuhai did not know where he got the news that the emperor planned to rectify the south of the Yangtze River. He came to the capital during the Chinese New Year and walked around, thinking that someone could help him if something happened.
However, Xiao Yi told Nangong Yue that Gong Yuhai was not just incapable of governing, even a few years ago, when the imperial court failed in foreign wars, Gong Yuhai didn't know if he had a brain twitch, or he wanted to have both sides, and he was open to the people of the former Murong family. Turning a blind eye, it wasn't until later, after two victories against Beidi and Nanman, that he gradually alienated them.
It was precisely because of this that Gong Yuhai made more stupid things when he felt guilty.
The emperor has always been wary of those people from the Murong family in the previous court. Over the years, if anyone gets involved, he will never be soft-hearted.
What's more, Gong Yuhai was really jumping up and down, I am afraid that most of the mansions in the capital have already been given away by him as a "righteous daughter".
If those who took in women knew that Gong Yuhai was involved in the case of the remnants of the previous dynasty, I'm afraid they would really be as Jiang Yixi said, and they would be eager to separate themselves from him.
Seeing Xiao Yi's look of wanting to show off, Nangong Yue looked at him very cooperatively, and pretended to be worried and said: "...Then, did the Master bring that 'Girl Gong' back?"
Xiao Yi was amused by her, hugged her, and rubbed her face vigorously, making her giggle, trying to hide in a hurry, but how could he hide, Xiao Yi was in his arms, very satisfied Then he boasted complacently: "I was having a good drink with my elder brother-in-law and Xiao Luozi..." Then, Xiao Yi vividly talked about the anecdotes about that General Gong and his adopted daughters...
When Nangong Yue heard that Cheng Luo originally planned to accept a Gong girl, she couldn't help shaking her head inwardly: Cheng Luo can make friends with Xiao Yi, there must be no major problem with his character, but now he is not determined, so he will make a wife Before entering the door, Tongfang was pregnant, and even accepted the woman sent by others so easily. Nangong Lin tried her best to get this marriage, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for both of them...
"... Therefore, this son is a good person and will do it to the end. He gave the three 'Gong girls' to Mr. Gong, and wished them a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
Nangong Yue was dumbfounded, and then burst out laughing with a "puchi".
Xiao Yi was even more proud, his expression seemed to say, don't praise me!
Nangong Yue patted him down, and praised him without hesitation: "Ah Yi is awesome!"
Xiao Yi was still not satisfied, and looked at her with blinking eyes, Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and leaned over to give her a kiss.
That's right! This is the correct way to praise him! Xiao Yi feels that he must work hard to get more benefits!
…
Gong Yuhai's ostentatious delivery of "benevolent daughters" everywhere quickly attracted the attention of officials, and the emperor just started to write and seal, and he was impeached early in the morning. It was not only Gong Yuhai who was impeached, but also those who accepted " The family of righteous daughters.
Naturally, the family who took in the "adopted daughter" would not be indifferent, so they took advantage of the situation to argue for a few words, but finally let it go.
Gong Yuhai thought that he would be able to send the "adopted daughter" to the position, and he was relieved for a while when someone spoke up for him. However, he never dared to go to the gate of Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Gong Yuhai didn't come to the door, so he couldn't wait to come to give gifts.
Ever since Xiao Yi returned to the capital, there has been an endless stream of people visiting Zhennan Palace every day. Originally, Nangong Yue could excuse some unnecessary visits on the grounds that the eldest son was not in the mansion, but once Xiao Yi came back, such an excuse was unreasonable. Xiao Yi thought it was troublesome to socialize, so he simply left his errands and took Nangong Yue with him. Huangzhuang.
This time when I went to Nangong Yue, I originally wanted to bring Xiao Fei with me, but Xiao Fei really wanted to enjoy the pastoral scenery in spring, to see if it was as beautiful as those poems wrote. But the elder brother didn't come back after going out for so long, Xiao Fei felt that the elder sister-in-law would really like to spend some time alone with the elder brother, so she refused on the grounds that she wanted to read at the mansion.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue spent three days leisurely in Huangzhuang, and just after returning to the mansion, Xiao Yi was announced by the emperor into the palace.
Nangong Yue went back to Fufengyuan by herself, and after a little freshening up, she got a report saying that Xiao Fei came to pay her respects.
I haven't seen her for a few days, but Nangong Yue misses her quite a bit, so she hurriedly let her in.
"Sister-in-law." Xiao Fei still bowed respectfully first, then a smile appeared on her small face, and she looked at Nangong Yue shyly.
"I was just about to ask Que'er to call you over. I brought you some things back from Zhuangzi." Nangong Yue waved to her, asked her to sit beside her, and called Que'er to fetch the things bring it.
Que'er brought an unremarkable box, opened the box, inside was a pitch-black stone, this stone was round and smooth, not any precious jade, the only strange thing was that there were natural white marks on the surface of the stone, just like a tree The old pine is entrenched, which is very elegant.
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she asked with a hint of excitement in her voice, "Sister-in-law, what kind of stone is this?"
Nangong Yue smiled and said: "There is a hot spring in your elder brother's Huangzhuang. This is a natural stone raised in the hot spring. I think this one is very unique. I think you will like it, so I brought it back and can use it for making Paperweight."
"I like it very much." Xiao Fei held the stone in her hand, her face was full of joy.
Born in the royal mansion, the girl who grew up in rich clothes and jade food has any precious jade jewels that she has never seen or used. But compared to those, Xiao Fei prefers this elegant stone in her hand, she just thinks that her sister-in-law knows her best!
The joy on Xiao Fei's face was undisguised, and the smile on Nangong Yue's lips deepened, and she said: "Your elder brother also went to hunt some wild game, you can have dinner with us today."
Xiao Fei hurriedly nodded and agreed happily.
They were chatting happily here, when Que'er reported outside the door: "Elder Concubine, the Second Concubine is here."
Nangong Yue was slightly taken aback. They had just returned to the mansion, and the second concubine came to the door. It's too coincidental, isn't it a coincidence? And it's really inappropriate to come to the door rashly without handing over the greeting card in advance.
Nangong Yue thought for a while, and then ordered: "The second concubine, please go to the flower hall first, and I will come later."
Que'er retreated in response, Nangong Yue said to Xiao Fei: "Sister Fei, you can go with me."
Nangong Yue changed her clothes and went out with Xiao Fei.
The second prince Su Qiaoyi is the eldest daughter of Su Zhijing, a scholar of the Imperial Forest Academy, and his father's family is very noble. In terms of appearance, she is far inferior to the glamorous beauty of the other two princes and concubines, she can only be considered delicate, but she has a bookish air, which makes people feel good when they look at her.
Seeing Nangong Yuejian coming, Su Qiaoyi didn't have the slightest arrogance of being a prince and concubine, and stood up very amiably. She was pregnant, wearing a slightly baggy dress, and her cheeks were a bit rounder than when they met last time.
"Your Highness, Second Prince and Concubine." Nangong Yue bowed her knees slightly, and saluted her as equal, while Xiao Fei respectfully blessed her. Before Xiao Fei could fully salute, Su Qiaoyi quickly pulled her up with a smile and said, "Daddy Girls don't need to be polite."
After the three of them sat down, the maids served tea, and then stepped back to serve them with low eyebrows.
"Concubine Shizi, it's a bit presumptuous to come here today without submitting a post." Su Qiaoyi said with a hint of apology, but also a little embarrassed, "Actually, I told my servants to wait nearby, so I just got a report saying you He Shizi has already returned to the mansion, so he came here rashly, it is really reckless."
Nangong Yue didn't expect her to be so frank, and said bluntly that she deliberately ordered people to wait for them to come back.
If Xiao Yi hadn't told her that Guan Yubai deduced that the second prince Han Lingguan was the one behind everything about the incident in the capital, Su Qiaoyi's attitude would have made her feel good, but now it is another A little more vigilance.
With a smile on her lips, Nangong Yue said in a social manner: "My son and I went to live in Huangzhuang for a few days, and brought back some green leafy vegetables, which were grown by Zhuangzi himself. Since your highness is here, why don't you bring some back with you?" Bar."
Su Qiaoyi responded with a smile: "That's good. The concubine and his wife are deeply in love with each other, which is really enviable."
Nangong Yue lowered her head pretending to be shy.
But at this time, Su Qiaoyi said with some concern: "It's just..." She glanced at Nangong Yue, and hesitated to speak.
Nangong Yue waved her hand in understanding, and the maids who were serving in the room retreated one after another, leaving Baihui alone.
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and asked, "Is there anything your Highness wants to tell me?"
"This matter is a bit complicated. I am a few years older than the concubine, so I will call you sister. Sister, you must not be angry." Su Qiaoyi said with a sigh, "A few days ago, the prince Did you go to the south of the Yangtze River?" Seeing Nangong Yue looking at her in surprise, she hurriedly continued, "Everyone in the capital knows about this. Just yesterday morning, a censor impeached the emperor and said, When the son was on business in the south of the Yangtze River, he accepted an oiran who was respected by others, so he used the emperor's order to frame the court's official."
Nangong Yue showed an unbelievable expression in cooperation, while Xiao Fei who was beside her pursed her lips in obvious displeasure.
Su Qiaoyi did not hide the worry on her face, and comforted her repeatedly: "Sister, don't worry, you don't know the truth of the matter yet. It's just..." She paused for a moment, and then said vigorously, " Now there are rumors all over the capital that the prince has brought the man back and placed him in the outer house."
Nangong Yue didn't speak for a long time, and it took a while before she said: "... I, I... Thank you, Your Highness, for letting me know." Her voice was hoarse, as if she was too shocked to speak, more like she was forced to hold back her tears.
"My sister is gone now." Su Qiaoyi said gently, "The last time I met my sister at the aunt's flower viewing party in Yuncheng, I hit it off right away. My Highness came back yesterday morning and told me about it. Thinking about coming to remind my sister, I also hope that my sister won't think I'm troublesome."
Nangong Yue lowered her head and said in a low voice: "...Of course not."
Su Qiaoyi persisted and continued: "My Highness said that he believes in the son's character, and will definitely express his feelings for the son in front of the emperor. I think the matter will come to light soon."
Nangong Yue nodded, but did not speak.
Su Qiaoyi probably knew that she was in a bad mood, so she got up and left without saying anything, and repeatedly asked her not to see her off. Nangong Yue followed good manners and only asked Baihui to send her out of the second school.
"Sister-in-law." As soon as Su Qiaoyi left, Xiao Fei couldn't bear it any longer. She came to Nangong Yue's side and said worriedly, "Don't be angry. When elder brother comes back, I will definitely talk about him! Eldest brother , Brother, he is simply too outrageous!"
Nangong Yue's heart warmed up, but she smiled on her face. Xiao Fei was a little puzzled by her smile, and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you not angry?"
Nangong Yue smiled calmly, "Why should I be angry?"
"But the Second Princess said..."
"Sister Fei." Nangong Yue took her hand and sat beside her, and said persuasively, "What is the relationship between the second princess and me?" Without waiting for her to answer, Nangong Yue continued, "She is not my girlfriend My close friend is not my relative, but just a bystander, so why should I doubt my husband because of a few words from a bystander?"
Not to mention that Nangong Yue knew that Xiao Yi was only taking a detour to Jiangnan this time, but actually went to Baiyue, even if Xiao Yi really went to Jiangnan on business, she would never be suspicious of Xiao Yi because of outsiders' rumors.
"I have been married to your elder brother for more than a year. I know how your elder brother is, so I trust him." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "If you believe in someone, you have to believe in him wholeheartedly. You don't have to worry about others. This trust has been hurt due to opinions.... Sister Fei, the matter of the court cannot be explained simply by 'right' and 'wrong'. Your elder brother went to Jiangnan on business this time, maybe he offended some people, As a result, he was framed by others. How about the details, I will ask when your eldest brother comes back."
Xiao Fei stared blankly at Nangong Yue, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and there was no trace of displeasure or suspicion on her face. She couldn't help being moved, thinking: Is my sister-in-law trusting her elder brother wholeheartedly...
"Sister Fei, you are the eldest daughter of the palace, you have to think a lot about everything, and you can't just act on impulse, or act according to your personal likes and dislikes." After Nangong Yue made a point, she praised again Said, "You did a good job just now, and you didn't act impulsively in front of the second concubine."
Xiao Fei lowered her head in embarrassment. After all, she is not as safe as her sister-in-law, and she still has a lot to learn.
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly, thinking to herself: What is the purpose of Su Qiaoyi's visit today? Is it to sell herself well, or does she have ulterior motives... On the one hand, she told herself not to worry, but on the other hand, she seemed to be Leading myself to believe that Xiao Yi really has to raise a foreign room...
This question was half answered after Xiao Yi came back. According to Xiao Yi, he didn't know who leaked out the matter of going to the south of the Yangtze River under the imperial decree. Mr. Gong knew that he had offended Xiao Yi. I am afraid that in the future It's even worse, and I don't know who came up with the idea, so I found a censor to impeach Xiao Yi, and it's better to strike first...
