"Cousin Xia."
Yuan Yuyi smiled, pretending to be relaxed and comforted, "Don't worry, you are the eldest daughter of Prince Qi's mansion, and no one will be your turn. Most of the clan daughters are concubine daughters."
That being said, Yuan Yuyi herself was a little scared.
A few days ago, I didn't know what the emperor's uncle was thinking, but he suddenly announced her mother into the palace and asked about her marriage. Fortunately, her mother did not agree, and it is said that she gave the emperor's uncle a hard time, which made the emperor's uncle give up his mind.
Fortunately, the worst step was not taken!
Although there will always be a girl who wants to marry Kui Lang, for Yuan Yuyi, it is still fortunate that that person is not herself.
Han Qixia didn't say anything more, only there was a bit of sadness between her brows.
Yuan Yuyi took her by the arm, and continued: "... Last time, the court also said that sister Fei should go to marry her, but now there is nothing to say?... Maybe in the end, no one will have to make a kiss." That's the best!
Han Qixia finally smiled and nodded slightly.
At this time, the flower hall arrived, and everyone sat down one by one. After eating, the guests went back home one after another...
Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi deliberately stayed until the end, so Fu Yunyan had the opportunity to have a conversation with them, and then personally sent them to the second gate to leave.
Saying goodbye to Yuan Yuyi, Nan Gongyue stepped on her Zhulun cart, and immediately met a smiling face, Xiao Yi graciously brought cushions, and brought tea and water. Looking at the current hour, there is no doubt that he must have just slipped out of the Wucheng Bingma Division just now.
Baihui was sent to sit on the shaft of the chariot, and the Zhulun chariot started slowly. After taking care of Nangong Yue thoughtfully, Xiao Yi told her an interesting news--
The King of Zhennan issued an order to open Kailian City to exchange business with Baiyue.
Nangong Yue couldn't help being dumbfounded when she heard the words, and Xiao Yi smiled and nodded at her.
Anyway, it's her own father-in-law, Nangong Yue really can't ask if there is something wrong with his mind, but... why is this dignified Zhennan king so unreliable in doing things!
Obviously, the last time it was because King Zhennan opened the Fuzhong and Kailian cities without authorization, he led wolves into the house and caused a catastrophe. In less than two years, he actually made the same mistakes again
Although he knew that Xiao Yi must be swaying in the dark this time, Nan Gongyue still didn't know what to say if King Zhennan acted so rashly.
Xiao Yi's peach eyes were shining brightly, and he said with a smile: "My father wanted to negotiate peace with Baiyue, so I asked Nuhar to propose conditions to open Liancheng to facilitate the border trade between the two countries, and my father agreed quite readily. "
Even if it is his own father, Xiao Yi has to say that as a feudal lord guarding the border, the current Zhennan King cannot afford this responsibility. He was too short-sighted and too weak.
When making the plan back then, Xiao Yi also considered that if his father did not act as he expected, maybe his journey back to southern Xinjiang would not be too smooth. However, the fact is that every step Zhennan Wang took was as they expected.
Xiao Yi felt an indescribable feeling, a little ironic, but also a little helpless...
He smiled lightly and said: "Let's wait. The next step is to wait for the emperor's decision, and it must be soon..."
Not long after, Zhu Luncar entered the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Zhu Xing was standing in front of the second gate, and when he saw them coming back, he rushed up to greet them, "My lord, Eunuch Liu is here, and the emperor declares that you will enter the palace immediately."
Xiao Yi nodded to Nangong Yue, and said: "I'll come as soon as I go." Saying that, he got off the Zhulun carriage and went to the front yard with Zhu Xing.
Eunuch Liu waited for him in the front yard with a scorched face, he didn't care to say anything, and brought him into the palace together.
"I've seen Uncle Emperor!"
Xiao Yi walked into the imperial study room, saluted the emperor with a smile, his attitude was very casual, like a nephew.
"A Yi, get up!" The emperor looked down at Xiao Yi, and various thoughts emerged in his heart, which was extremely complicated.
Just an hour ago, he received a secret report from Southern Xinjiang, and he also knew that King Zhennan had made a new stupid thing, which made him angry and anxious.
The king of Zhennan led the wolf into the house. If the southern border is lost because of this, Nanliang and Baiyue can drive straight in, and Dayu is in danger!
The emperor couldn't help but think of Guan Yubai's suggestion, and hastily announced Xiao Yi.
He had actually thought about it for a long, long time, but he just couldn't make up his mind, and the matter had come to this point, he had to make a decision.
The emperor looked deeply at Xiao Yi, his lips moved slightly, but he still had some hesitation in his heart.
Xiao Yi didn't seem to notice the emperor's entanglement, he stood up briskly, looked directly at the emperor without hesitation, and asked with concern: "Uncle Emperor, you seem to be in a bad mood, but you haven't slept well these days? "
The emperor couldn't help feeling warm, he was the emperor, and his sons, like the eldest prince, second prince, and third prince, all grew up and had their own thoughts. Now in their minds, I am afraid that their father is more of a king than a father. They may have other thoughts about their words and deeds, even if it is a word of care, rather than pure concern.
But Xiao Yi...
The emperor looked at Xiao Yi with a somewhat casual smile, perhaps because the King of Zhennan was unkind, Xiao Yi has always been very close to himself, treating himself like a king like a father, and even disregarding his own safety when his life was at stake Saved my own life... Even if I let him go back to the southern border the year before last, he obediently returned to the capital without a trace of dissatisfaction.
Yes! Such a child, how can I worry about him!
Thinking about it, the emperor's eyes softened a lot.
Whether it's A Yi or Yue girl, both of them are the best children!
Until this moment, the emperor finally made up his mind and said loudly: "A Yi, look at me!"
Xiao Yi raised his eyes to meet the emperor's four eyes, he looked calm on the surface, but only he himself knew that his heartbeat was speeding up beside his ears...
"Ayi, tell me, are you willing to go back to Southern Border and defend the territory of Southern Border for Dayu and me?" The emperor looked at Xiao Yi without blinking, and asked cautiously.
Xiao Yi's heartbeat quickened several beats.
The moment has finally come!
Xiao Yi settled down, bowed meticulously, with a rare solemnity on his face, and said: "Uncle Emperor, although my nephew is not sensible, he also knows that Nanjiang is the southernmost line of defense of my Dayu, and guarding Nanjiang is my town. The Wangfu has been passed down from generation to generation since the grandfather, and there is Nanjiang, and there is Zhennan Wangfu!"
If there is no southern border, what is the use of the emperor's Zhennan palace!
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and laughed again, patted his chest confidently and said, "Uncle Emperor, don't worry. With my nephew here, even if he grows three heads and six arms in Baiyue, he will bow down to me, Dayu, and let the emperor Uncle, rest easy!"
When the emperor heard it at first, he thought Xiao Yi had grown up and became sensible, but then he saw that he became arrogant again, and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, his mood became lighter because of Xiao Yi's few words.
The emperor waved his hand: "You go back, and Yue girl pack up early. Tomorrow, I will formally issue an order in the early court."
"Yes, Uncle Emperor."
Xiao Yi solemnly saluted again and exited the Imperial Study Room.
The palace is full of other people's eyeliner, Xiao Yi can only continue to suppress his emotions, until he rides his dark cloud and snow at the gate of the palace, the whole body relaxes and gallops wildly.
"Da da… "
The horses ran faster and faster. At first, Zhuzi's horse could barely keep up, but after turning two streets, the distance between the two of them became farther and farther... Zhuzi yelled helplessly from behind: "Shizi Lord! Wait for me!... Grandpa!"
It's a pity that even if he yelled out his voice, he could only watch the back of his family's grandson as he passed away...
Xiao Yi returned to Zhennan Prince's Mansion as quickly as possible, jumped off his horse, and went straight to Fufengyuan.
Ever since Xiao Yi was hastily announced by Eunuch Liu, Nangong Yue has been waiting anxiously. As soon as she heard that Xiao Yi was back, she quickly got up and greeted her. With a sound, a slender figure rushed in like a frightened wind.
"soy Mujer!"
He hugged her tightly and turned around excitedly!
His movements were so fast that he was caught off guard, Nangong Yue subconsciously let out a low cry, and put her arms around his neck.
Needless to ask, Nangong Yue also knew that Xiao Yi's behavior must be because his wish came true.
The emperor allowed them to return to southern Xinjiang!
Xiao Yi has been a hostage in the capital for nearly six years, and these six long years have transformed Xiao Yi from a twelve-year-old young boy into the current confident and smiling young man.
For Xiao Yi, these six years are really too long and not easy.
In the previous life, Xiao Yi escaped from the royal capital in embarrassment, hiding for several years like a bereaved dog.
But in this life, he justifiably returned to Southern Border!
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's eyes turned sore, she knew that he should be happy for her A Yi, but she just couldn't help feeling sorry for him, who would love A Yi except herself!
At this time, Xiao Yi finally had enough trouble, stopped and stopped circling. Nangong Yue buried her head in his chest feebly, and deliberately complained: "A Yi, you made my head dizzy."
Xiao Yi showed a childlike smile, and said flatteringly: "Smelly girl, can I hug you to a chair and sit down?"
Nangong Yue snuggled into his arms, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, "It's okay, I'll just stand for a while."
Xiao Yi gently hugged her slender waist, put his chin on the top of her hair, and after a while, said: "Stinky girl, we can go back!" As for being subject to anyone, he has to go back.
"En." Nangong Yue responded softly, listening to his steady heartbeat, feeling the joy that emanated from him unconsciously.
This day Xiao Yi was as excited as a child, he had endless words to say, and the two of them stayed up almost all night, talking until dawn.
At dawn, Xiao Yi hurried into the palace for the morning court.
Nangong Yue originally wanted to catch up on returning to the cage, but thinking of Xiao Fei, she decided to wait for Xiao Fei to come over.
As soon as Chen Shi came, Xiao Fei appeared in a hurry.
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue pulled Xiao Fei to sit beside her, "I have something very important to tell you,...the emperor asked me to return to southern Xinjiang immediately with your elder brother."
Xiao Fei was stunned, she couldn't believe her ears, and surprise appeared on her face.
Great! My sister-in-law is going back to southern Xinjiang with her!
Xiao Fei had long been worried that she might not be able to stay in the capital for long, even if she dismissed Nanny Zhang this time, there would be a next time... If her father insisted on her returning to southern Xinjiang, she would have no choice but to obey.
Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law could go back to southern Xinjiang with her.
The more Xiao Fei thought about it, the happier she became, and she gushed, "Sister-in-law, that's great! After returning to southern Xinjiang, I'll take you to visit Luoyue City. Although Luoyue City is not as prosperous as the royal capital, it is also the largest town in Southern Xinjiang. The famous 'Three Treasures'…”
Hearing Xiao Fei speak with enthusiasm, Que'er, who was serving at the side, couldn't help but shook her head. The eldest girl only thought about the princess concubine going to southern Xinjiang, and she probably forgot the prince completely.
Nangong Yue was a little absent-minded. Once the emperor formally issued an order this morning, I am afraid that her parents and elder brother will soon know that she and A Yi are going back to southern Xinjiang.
And Liu Niang, Sister Xi, Sister Yi and the others...
Nangong Yue's eyes were stained with a faint emotion.
After much deliberation, Nangong Yue still planned to go to Nangong Mansion in person after the morning court, so she mentioned it to Xiao Fei after breakfast.
Xiao Fei also saw that something was wrong with Nangong Yue's mood, and after saying yes, she left Fufengyuan, thinking in her heart: sister-in-law must be reluctant to leave the capital... I have to remind my elder brother to treat him well Sister-in-law!
Nangong Yue changed her clothes and calculated the time to go out, but Que'er hurriedly came to report and said, "The concubine, the second master, the second madam, and the second son are here!"
It is self-evident why father, mother and elder brother came to Zhennan Palace at this time.
After Nangong Yue was stunned, she immediately went to the second gate to meet her.
"younger sister!"
"Yueer!"
As soon as Lin saw Nangong Yue, she stepped forward excitedly, holding her hand tightly, and there was already a thin layer of mist in her eye sockets.
Nangong Xin's expression was also full of reluctance, tears glistened in a pair of bright and clear eyes.
In fact, Nangong Xin heard what the fifth prince said about Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue's going back to Southern Xinjiang soon, so he hurried out of the palace to inform his parents.
Nangong Xin never thought that her sister would leave the capital and go to another place thousands of miles away.
This is not to say that officials are sent out, and they can return to the capital once their term of office expires in a few years.
Xiao Yi is the son of the Zhennan Prince, and will inherit the position of the Zhennan King and Fanwang in the future. The Fanwang guards a southern border. Even the current Zhennan King has only visited the capital once after he ascended the throne today.
Perhaps, in the next many, many years, I will never see Ah Yi and his sister again!
Thinking of this, Nangong Xin's eyes were as red as a rabbit.
In comparison, Nangong Mu seemed much calmer, but his tightly clenched fists had already revealed his true heart.
Nangong Mu always knew that sooner or later his daughter would follow Xiao Yi to the southern border, but now Zhennan King is not yet forty, and the Spring and Autumn Period is in full swing. Stay in the capital...
Nangong Mu thought that even if his daughter would leave the capital with Xiao Yi one day, it would be many years later, not now...
This day came so fast!
The daughter is not yet fifteen years old, and before she reaches the age of Ji, she will leave him and the Lin family and go to southern Xinjiang. They will even miss the important day of their daughter Jiji!
Thinking of this, Nangong Mu could barely restrain his emotions, but Lin's tears could not help but fall from the corner of his eyes...
"Mother, don't cry." Nangong Yue hurriedly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away Lin's tears, her voice trembling slightly, "You cry, I want to cry too..."
"Okay, okay, mother don't cry..." Although Lin said so, tears still flowed down her cheeks involuntarily. This is the daughter she conceived in October. This is the daughter she raised like a jewel. She never planned to let her marry far away... But it's not as good as God, maybe all of this is the arrangement of fate. !
Lin hugged Nangong Yue and whimpered, Nangong Yue patted her on the back lightly, and Nangong Mu and Nangong Xin were at a loss.
After crying for a while, Lin's mood eased a lot, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said: "Yue'er, let's go to the room to talk."
Nangong Yue led them to Fufengyuan, but when the family sat down in the banquet room, Lin had thousands of words and didn't know where to start.
First of all, Xiaofang, although she has been deprived of the imperial concubine's imperial order, she is still the daughter's serious mother-in-law. With the status of mother-in-law, it is too easy to embarrass her daughter-in-law; In addition, if there is an emergency for her daughter in the future, she will not be able to take care of it... Even the grandson in the future, I don't know how many years it will take to see her.
Thinking about it, another layer of tears appeared in Lin's eyes.
"Mother," Nangong Yue took Lin Shi's hand, and comforted her softly, "I will take care of myself, and there is A Yi!" The corners of her mouth curled up, and she gave Lin Shi a bright smile.
Lin looked deeply at her daughter, and when she mentioned Xiao Yi, she couldn't restrain her smile, and her eyes shone like obsidian. In an instant, Lin understood that to her daughter, A Yi is her most important person right now! Just like her husband Nangong Mu is her most important person.
Girls are outgoing!
At this time, apart from being sad, Lin's heart was full of emotion.
As long as Ah Yi and his daughter Qin Se are in harmony!
Mrs. Lin sighed, and there were countless words in her mind to ask: "Yue'er, it's hot in southern Xinjiang. You have lived in the north since you were a child, and you may not be used to it when you go to the south. Be careful of the acclimatization. There are also things in southern Xinjiang. I'm afraid you won't be used to it, so I'll prepare some food for you to store. I'm afraid you will bring a lot of things on this trip, so you have to pack them up early, and don't wait until you're ready to grind your guns... "
As soon as Lin started talking, her mouth was dry, and in the end, thousands of words turned into a sigh: "Yue'er, you must take good care of yourself in southern Xinjiang!" Shi choked up and wanted to cry again. She holds it in the palm of her hand, and the daughter she raised like a pearl like a jade is about to leave her...
At this time, the voice of Lily saluting outside came: "I have met the son."
The arrival of Xiao Yi suddenly diverted the attention of the whole room.
Nangong Mu and Nangong Xin had a lot to say around Xiao Yi, and it can be summed up in one sentence--
Take good care of Nangong Yue!
After seeing off her parents and elder brother, Nangong Yue called Baihui, Que'er, and Thrush into the house, and even An Niang came over.
"You all must know that my son and I will leave the capital soon. I called you here today mainly to ask what your plans are, whether you want to stay in the capital or follow me and son."
After all, Southern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away, not to mention Baihui, Que'er and Huamei also have relatives in the capital, so they may not want to go to that distant foreign land. Although Nangong Yue is the master, if she insists on asking them to go with them, the slaves have no right to object, but the relationship between master and servant has been divided for many years, and Nangong Yue always hopes that you can love each other and end well.
"Of course the servant is following the concubine." Huamei said without thinking, "Anyway, the servant has no relatives and no reason." In fact, Huamei has brothers. Her stepmother gave her a half-brother. The relationship was completely broken long after her stepmother sold her.
Followed Que'er and said with a smile: "Shizi Concubine, I will follow you. I have already made a plan, and I will be your mother in charge like Sister Baihui."
Baihui's face froze for a moment, although this magpie used to talk as much as a magpie, but she was not so presumptuous, and after being with Lily for a long time, she even learned to speak without shame.
Que'er blushed slightly, she was from an unmarried girl's family, of course it was a little embarrassing to say this, but what she thought in her heart should always be known to the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine could also help her arrange things...
