A Dachi's matter was put on hold for the time being. Tomorrow is Lily's wedding, and there are still many chores to be busy... Master and servant, Nangong Yue also hopes to make this wedding as perfect as possible.
Lily's wedding made the Zhennan Palace very lively, especially the groom was the guard in the palace, so most of the people had to go to Ren Zinan's place to beg for a cup of wedding wine if they were not on duty. Most of the night.
For Nangong Yue, she was not used to it. After Baihe got married, it seemed that even her Fufengyuan was much quieter.
Baihui was even more unaccustomed to Nangong Yue. Early the next morning, she had just finished serving Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi after breakfast, and she was used to calling Baihe to serve tea, but she was stunned when she just uttered the word "Bai". up.
Her little cousin is already married!
Baihui blinked, her eyes were a little moist.
At this moment, Que'er came into the room and said: "My lord, my concubine, the envoy of Baiyue, Lord A Dachi, came to the door with a greeting card!"
Xiao Yi had already learned about the generous gift from A Dachi from Nangong Yue, and smiled meaningfully.
People are finally here!
Xiao Yi flicked his robe, stood up and said: "Master A Dachi, please sit down in the main hall, I'll go right away."
Xiao Yi changed his clothes slowly on purpose, and then slowly went to the main hall alone.
A Dachi sat alone in the main hall, drank two cups of tea, only to see Xiao Yi appear belatedly.
Of course A Dachi knew that Xiao Yi made him wait on purpose, and he was very annoyed. Xiao Yi was originally his sworn enemy, A Dachi was eager to eat his blood and flesh, but the current situation made him and the eldest prince have to bow their heads. I swallowed my anger.
Right now, the most important thing is to help His Royal Highness return to Baiyue and regain the throne. Everything else is secondary and can be discussed in the future!
Originally, what A Dachi was most worried about was whether Xiao Yi would be unwilling to "flex" because of the generational enmity between Nanjiang and Baiyue, so he sent a small gift to throw stones to ask for directions. flexible.
As long as Xiao Yi is not as hard-hearted as his grandfather, then there is room for everything to be planned!
Just breathing in and out, A Dachi was already thinking a lot.
He took a deep breath, stood up, bowed to Xiao Yi with a smile on his face, and said, "A Dachi has met the son of the Prince of Zhennan, but he has not seen him for a long time, and the son is still so dignified, wise and powerful, with extraordinary strength of character! Before , I may have misunderstood a little bit with the son, but that is also our own master. Now that our two countries have rebuilt the old relationship, the misunderstandings in the past should disappear with the wind. In fact, I have always admired the son. He is a unparalleled man in the world, and my reverence for the son is like the water of the Yellow River...”
Xiao Yi looked at A Dachi with a half-smile, for a Baiyue person, A Dachi's Dayu spoke really well, look at how smooth this idiom is to flatter. I am afraid that many Dayu people will be ashamed of it!
"Master A Dachi really has vision!" Xiao Yi accepted it calmly, and sat down on the master seat in front of him with a sword, "I don't know what advice Master A Dachi came to find this son today. ah?"
In A Dachi's heart, Xiao Yi's every move, every frown and smile is not pleasing to the eye, but on the face there is a warm expression, as if the two have never had any quarrel, and said: "Xiao Shizi , I came here this time to talk about the peace talks with the crown prince. I have already discussed with His Royal Highness the First Prince of Baiyue. No matter what conditions Dayu puts forward, I can agree..." He deliberately lowered his voice , "My son, if the peace talks can be achieved, I, Baiyue, will definitely not treat my son badly, and I would like to present my son with Baiyue's most precious treasure, the national treasure, the clear water pearl."
Kui Lang has spent his blood this time. The national treasure, Qingshuizhu, is a treasure that has been passed down by Baiyue for nearly a hundred years.
"Is this true?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of interest.
A Dachi saw that there was something going on, and hurriedly echoed: "That's natural. His Royal Highness, the First Prince of Baiyue, has always kept his word!"
There was a trace of looseness on Xiao Yi's face, but he soon sighed embarrassingly: "My lord A Dachi, although this son also wants to do something for your lord, for His Royal Highness the First Prince of your country, it's a pity. My lord is one step late..."
Ah Dachi's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know if Xiao Yi was taking Joe, or if something really happened that he didn't know about.
"I wonder if Shizi Xiao can speak clearly?" A Dachi asked cautiously while carefully observing Xiao Yi's expression.
Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice: "As far as I know, the emperor seems to have received a secret report from your country a few days ago... The emperor's attitude has been relaxed, and he intends to settle the matter quickly. , but after receiving the three-thousand-mile urgent secret report, the emperor seemed to be in a hurry again. It's a pity that even this prince has never read this secret report... "
When A Dachi heard that the emperor had received the secret report from Baiyue, he almost jumped up, and a big cold sweat broke out on his back.
The secret report from Baiyue also made Emperor Dayu change his attitude towards the Baiyue peace talks, so what else could it be
The more A Dachi thought about it, the more frightened he became. Emperor Dayu must have known about the civil strife in Baiyue, and about the enthronement of the fourth prince Nuhar. The situation has reached the worst point!
Does that mean they've come to a dead end
A thin layer of sweat oozed from A Dachi's forehead, Xiao Yiming knew what he was thinking, but asked deliberately: "I wonder if Master A Dachi knows it well?"
Ah Dachi's heart was in a mess, and he was helpless for a while, so he could only say vaguely: "Xiao Shizi, I have been away from Baiyue for more than a year, how could I know?"
Xiao Yi pretended to be considerate and smiled: "Master Ah Dachi has scruples in his heart, and this son can understand. Since the lord came to look for this son with all his heart today, then this son will reciprocate and send you a few words..."
He deliberately paused, first stretched out an index finger and said: "Use strength to fight." Then he added a middle finger, "As long as there is a common enemy, it is a friend!" He pursed his lips meaningfully and smiled up.
A Dachi's heart jumped twice suddenly, thoughtfully. That's right, not only the power in Baiyue is the power that His Royal Highness can use, right now, they still have a stronger and more reliable power--
Dayu!
The most important thing is for His Royal Highness the First Prince to endure the momentary humiliation and quickly regain the throne.
A Dachi couldn't stay any longer, he hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Thank you Shizi Xiao for your reminder today, I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent, so I will leave first!"
Xiao Yi didn't intend to keep him either, he ordered Zhuzi to see off the guests, but he himself went back to Fufengyuan in no time.
The stinky girl is going to that shop with Xiao Fei to look at the jewelry today, so he has to follow her!
However, no matter how hurried Xiao Yi was, he was still one step too late. When he returned to Fufengyuan, Nangong Yue had already taken Xiao Fei out.
Xiao Yi looked annoyed, Ah Dachi came at such an inopportune time!
At this time, the green-covered carriage that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were sitting in had already arrived at South Street.
Seeing Xiao Fei lifting the curtain and looking at the street outside the window with great interest, Nangong Yue couldn't help but twitch her lips, thinking that it was the right decision to take Xiao Fei out for a walk today.
Last time, Nangong Yue asked Jinyu Pavilion to make a set of jewelry for her and Xiao Fei, and it was really good. Not only was the style the latest in Jiangnan, but the craftsmanship was also very fine, and it was one of the best in the capital. Originally, Nangong Yue could call the master of Jinyu Pavilion to the palace to look at the jewelry, but thinking that Xiao Fei has been in the capital for so long, except for the Lantern Festival night a few days ago, she has never taken her out for a stroll. , so he simply dragged her out without packing.
The speed of the carriage slowed down quickly, and Que'er lifted the curtain to look out and said, "Concubine Shizi, eldest girl, turn this corner and you will be at Jinyu Pavilion."
Before she finished speaking, the horse outside suddenly neighed anxiously, followed by the voice of the coachman comforting the horse, and the carriage stopped quickly.
What's going on here
Baihui and Que'er looked at each other, at this moment, the coachman's polite voice came from outside the car: "This old man, please make room for us, please let us go first?"
"Why do you want me to let you go?" A rough male voice roared angrily, "Your family didn't build this road? Just because you have a little money, you can do whatever you want?"
The coachman said patiently: "Brother, my road is narrow, it's really inconvenient to turn the carriage around, so please take a step back..."
"I won't retreat, what do you want?..."
The other party was clearly messing around, Baihui frowned, and begged Nangong Yue: "Concubine Shizi, servant girl, go out and have a look."
Baihui picked up the curtain and went out to see what happened, but she didn't want to. She didn't hear her voice, but heard another familiar voice: "Miss Baihui, it's you, what a coincidence." After a pause , He said again, "Brother, when I went to the bookstore in front of me to buy books just now, I saw you here. Half an hour has passed, and you are still here, do you want to blackmail people? … Miss Hui, does this person have trouble with you, do you need to report to the police? Don't worry, I can testify for you."
The rough voice suddenly became angry: "Little brother, why bother to report to the official? Isn't it just to make way? I'll go now, I'll go..."
The man's voice went away in an instant...
The carriage continued to turn and stopped at the entrance of Jinyu Pavilion. Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.
"Mr. Wen." Nangong Yue looked at Wen Yu who was standing in front of the gate of Jinyu Pavilion with a smile and said, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Wen here today. What a coincidence."
"I've met Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao." Wen Yu politely bowed to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, "I just happened to come to buy books at the Dongli Bookstore nearby, and I didn't expect to run into them by chance."
Is it really a coincidence? A sharp light flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes. Since the night of Lantern Festival, she accidentally discovered that Wen Yu might have a "favor" for Xiao Fei, and she couldn't help but think a little more. The king's capital is so big, it's rare for her and Xiao Fei to get out of the house, and they met Wen Yu by chance, which always seemed to be too coincidental. If it wasn't a coincidence, wouldn't that mean Wen Yu carefully planned it...
But no matter what, Nangong Yue always felt that Wen Yu's attitude was a bit too deliberate, and this feeling became stronger now. Is it because Wen Yu grew up in a poor family and was eager for quick success, so he acts a little biased
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue quickly glanced at Xiao Fei who had a calm expression. Anyway, Xiao Fei had no intention of Wen Yu, and they were about to return to southern Xinjiang. Even if Wen Yu was really interested in Xiao Fei, it could only stop This is it.
Nangong Yue was thinking of an excuse to walk away, but she heard a strange male voice suddenly coming from behind:
"Brother Wen! Isn't this Brother Wen?"
No one noticed that Wen Yu's body froze, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei followed the sound subconsciously, and saw a young man in a brocade robe walking towards this side with a face of surprise, and said warmly: "Brother Wen, I met an old friend in a foreign land, I really didn't expect to be here Meeting Brother Wen, is this really fate?"
As he said that, the young master's eyes fell on Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei. Seeing Nangong Yue combing the woman's hair style, he tentatively asked: "Could this one belong to Brother Wen..."
Xiao Fei frowned, quickly interrupted the other party, and said to Nangong Yue: "Sister-in-law, since Mr. Wen has met a friend, we don't want to disturb him."
The young master suddenly showed embarrassment, and heard what Xiao Fei said.
He was about to say no, but Wen Yu suddenly said: "Young master, you must have misunderstood the person, right?"
The few people present were stunned by the words, the young man in brocade robe had an ugly expression on his face, and frowned, "Brother Wen, you and I were still talking about poetry in the Yellow Crane Tower last year, and we were friends, how come it's only been a few months?" At this time, you will turn your face and deny anyone?"
The more Mr. Jin Pao said, the more unhappy he became, and he didn't come to cling to him, so why did this Wen Yu show such an attitude of wanting to distance himself from the relationship!
Wen Yu's complexion froze for a moment, and he said forcefully: "Young master, you really misunderstood the person."
Yellow Crane Tower? Nan Gongyue frowned. She remembered that Fu Yunyan told her before that Wen Yu grew up in Huaibei, but Huaibei and Yellow Crane Tower were nearly a thousand miles away, and Wen Yu was poor since childhood, so how could he miss it? Go to the Yellow Crane Tower thousands of miles away for no reason
Really mistaken
Nangong Yue faintly felt that there seemed to be something wrong, so she glanced at the young man in brocade robe again, and saw that the other party flung his sleeves away angrily, "Hmph, let's treat Yi as blind!"
Mr. Yi left without looking back.
Wen Yu embarrassedly smiled at Nangong Yue, bowed and said, "Let Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao laugh. I won't bother you two." After speaking, he smiled and walked away.
Nangong Yue held back the doubts in her heart for the time being, and entered Jinyu Pavilion hand in hand with Xiao Fei.
As soon as he entered the door, a white and fat middle-aged woman greeted him immediately, and said warmly: "This lady, this girl, I want to see jewelry, so please sit in the VIP room inside."
Although Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei are dressed in simple and elegant clothes, the people in Jinyu Pavilion are used to seeing high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and their eyes are so bright. Just by taking a look like this, they can tell that these two must be from extraordinary backgrounds, so they immediately put The two of them greeted the VIP room.
The jewelry that came along with them was one of the best products in the shop: white jade inlaid with red coral beads and double-knotted ruyi hairpins, red gold filigree bracelets, red gold inlaid ruby and pomegranate flower earrings, red gold passionflower inscription gold collar, emerald Silver octopus chrysanthemum hairpin...
This piece of delicate and beautiful jewelry, if an ordinary girl looked at it, she would definitely not take her eyes off it, but Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei had indifferent expressions.
Seeing this, the woman gritted her teeth and took out another set of jewelry, the whole set of white jade head face, red gold inlaid white jade plum flower hairpin, white jade plum pattern gold collar, red gold inlaid white jade ruby plum blossom earrings, and matching accessories The red gold ring bead nine-turn exquisite bracelet.
The style is fresh and refined, and the white jade is warm and delicate, so it should be the best Hetian jade.
The woman said from the side: "Madam, girl, this is our newest set of jewelry. It was made by a master from the south of the Yangtze River, and it has just been delivered today. It's just... this set must be bought as a set. "
When Nangong Yue saw Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, she knew that she liked it in her heart. She picked up the red gold ring and bead nine-turn exquisite bracelet with a smile, looked it over carefully and said: "It is indeed top-grade. Sister Fei, do you still want to buy it?" If you don’t reach Ji, why don’t you just leave this hairpin with me temporarily, and I’ll give it to you when you reach Ji?”
The implication of her words was that she wanted to bestow all this prestige on Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei knew at a glance that this set of prestige was expensive, and said hesitantly: "Sister-in-law..."
Nangong Yue interrupted her with a smile: "Anyway, it's your elder brother's money, so it's natural to buy jewelry for your younger sister."
"Sister-in-law is right." Xiao Fei thought it made sense, and nodded seriously, "Brother's money should of course be used to buy jewelry for sister-in-law..." As she spoke, she also excitedly helped Nangong Yue pick up the jewelry.
On this day, it was past noon when the two returned home.
After Xiao Yi came back from Wucheng Bingmasi, Nangong Yue told him about meeting Wen Yu by chance.
Although Xiao Yi wanted to marry this girl from the bottom of his heart, so as not to always rob him of his daughter-in-law, but if he married casually, the stinky girl would definitely not agree. Too deliberate, Xiao Yi thinks that in order to please his wife, he has to think what his daughter-in-law thinks...
So, after Xiao Yi returned to his study, he called Zhu Xing and ordered him to send someone to investigate Wen Yu.
However, this is just a trivial matter, and no one cares too much.
Nangong Yue's thoughts were even more focused on Baihe's return to the door of the Three Dynasties...
Lily has no natal family, so the door to return to is naturally the door of Fufengyuan!
When Lily came back, she attracted all the maids from the yard. Before she entered the house, she saw those little maids surrounding her asking this and that, but it was Baihui who rescued her with a dry cough.
"Cousin!" Lily jumped up to Baihui with a smile, not a little more calm just because she got married.
Baihui looked at her nonchalantly, and saw that she was wearing a rose-red sweetheart collar and straight body gown. Combing the double bun, Baihui almost thought that her little cousin was not married.
"Go and pay your respects to the Crown Princess."
The two sisters went into the house together to meet Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue finished her breakfast a long time ago and was waiting in the room, An Niang, Que'er and Huamei were also inside.
Baihe hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Nangong Yue.
Everyone's eyes in the room fell on Lily, but Lily was still graceful, so that Thrush couldn't help but whispered behind her: "Don't you say that the bride is ashamed?" Why is it Sister Lily's turn? There, isn't that the case
Although she spoke in a low voice, everyone in the room heard it, and even Nangong Yue couldn't help but laugh.
Que'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said jokingly, "She's going to be married three times in Taoyuan, what else can she do?"
One sentence made everyone laugh more happily, and the atmosphere in the room was very brisk, Huamei suddenly said jokingly: "Then what should we call Sister Baihe from now on, from Ren Zinan's family?"
After this girl gets married, it seems that she is not herself, and she will be called a so-and-so family.
Thinking of this, the three unmarried maids in the room felt a little complicated, and couldn't help but think of their own "future". Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. This is an eternal truth.
"Why can't they be called Lily?" Lily looked at them strangely, and deliberately joked, "In the future, you should call Brother Lily when you see Alan!"
Everyone in the room laughed again, and Lily salivated and said, "Concubine Shizi, can I have a meal with my cousin, Huamei and the others today? Isn't Huamei just promoted to a first-class servant girl? She should be added to the servant girl The food is it!"
Baihui shook her head speechlessly, and nodded Lily's forehead: "I even told you to learn how to cook!" Cooking by yourself is not good, so I am ashamed to come to the imperial concubine to tell her!
This commotion dispelled the original melancholy in Baihui's heart. Cousin is still her cousin!
Baihe stayed until noon before returning. Although Ren Zinan was working in the palace, he did not sell himself as a slave. Therefore, when Baihe got married, Nangong Yue returned the deed of sale to her. Lily is no longer a servant of the palace...
There are many happy events in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but in the capital, there is a sudden change...
