After offering tea to Zhennan Wang and his wife, it was the turn of the uncles in the mansion.
Xiao Yi led Nangong Yue to a man in a brocade robe sitting at the head of King Zhennan, and introduced with a smile: "Ah Yue, this is the third uncle."
Xiao Che was only in his thirties, with regular facial features and a short beard. His face looked three to four points similar to that of King Zhennan, but he lacked a bit of the toughness of King Zhennan.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue picked up the teacups and served them together, calling out "Third Uncle."
Xiao Che impatiently took the tea, and gave each of them a red envelope.
"This is Third Aunt."
Xiao Che's wife, Mrs. Xin, drank tea, and politely praised a phrase like "The son and the concubine are both talented and beautiful, and they are a natural match", and then rewarded Nangong Yue with a green jade bracelet. .
At this moment in the main hall, only these four people are eligible to receive a cup of tea from Nangong Yue, and the next thing is to meet the concubines and aunts of King Zhennan.
Nanny Luo led the two of them to Zhennan Wang's side concubine Wei.
Wei Shi is the side concubine of Zhennan Wang, she has a second-rank imperial order, and she is on the jade certificate. It is reasonable for her to be an elder, and it is not too much for Nangong Yue to give her a blessing, but Wei Shi knows her identity and dare not be the son of the prince. The master and the concubine Shizi put on a show in front of them, hurriedly stood in front of them, and avoided them sideways.
"A concubine can't afford to be a grand concubine." With a smile on his face, Wei was gentle and courteous, which attracted Zhennan Wang's admiring gaze.
Then, Wei Shi gave Nangong Yue some Cuifeng hairpin as a meeting gift.
Nangong Yue thanked her with a smile.
Standing behind Xiaofang are several concubines of King Zhennan, among them are Jin and Qiu who have children. Jin was the dowry maid next to Dafang, and was raised as an aunt when Dafang was alive. , has a daughter Xiao Rongxuan, who is only three months younger than Xiao Fei. Looking at this month, you can see that the Jin family is not simple.
The Qiu family was the servant girl who served in Zhennan Wang's study for many years. It was not until she became pregnant with the fourth daughter, Xiao Rongying, that Xiao Fang's identity was corrected and her aunt was raised.
The rest of them didn't show anything.
The aunts are half slaves, so naturally they can't accept the gift from the prince and concubine, so they all obediently bow to Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue.
After that, it was the younger generation's turn.
Xiao Yi lazily looked at Xiao Luan, and said lightly: "Ah Yue, this is my second brother."
Xiao Luan almost didn't jump up at this glance. As soon as he saw Xiao Yi, he remembered what happened that day when he was hung on the city wall. The bloody light seemed to appear before his eyes again, and he could even smell the strong the smell of blood...
Xiao Luan couldn't help shivering, shrank her body, and hurriedly bowed to Nangong Yue: "I've seen my sister-in-law." But he didn't dare to look her in the face.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Xiao Luan has grown from a boy to a thin young man, with a listless expression, drowsy, as if he will close his eyes and fall asleep the next moment. This Xiao Luan, how should I put it, looks a bit like King Zhennan, but his temperament is neither like his father nor his mother, nor like Xiao Yi...
Xiao Fang only wanted to overwhelm Xiao Yi, but neglected her sons and daughters, isn't it just a small loss
Nangong Yue sighed in her heart, and gave Xiao Luan a set of the Four Treasures of the Study according to the etiquette, and the third young master of the second bedroom and the fourth young master of the third bedroom also gave a set of the same Four Treasures of the Study.
Then came the six girls from Zhennan Palace, besides Xiao Fei, the first daughter of the first house, and Xiao Ni, the third daughter of the second house, Xiao Rongxuan, the second daughter of the first house, Xiao Rongying, the fourth girl and Xiao Rongyu, the fifth girl , and Xiao Rongqian, the sixth girl from the third room.
Nangong Yue gave Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni a mutton jade bracelet, impartial.
Xiao Rongxuan, Xiao Rongying and Xiao Rongqian each have a ruby gold bracelet. Xiao Rongyu, Wei's daughter, and Xiao Rongqian from the third room were only two or three years old, so Nangong Yue gave him a longevity lock, but Xiao Rongyu's was a bit heavier.
In this way, after finally recognizing the relatives, Xiao Yi couldn't wait to say: "Father, the son and the concubine are really tired all the way. I think the father didn't prepare a welcome banquet for us, so the son will take the concubine and leave. Rest."
Zhennan Wang nodded slightly with a straight face.
The King of Zhennan is still planning to show off Xiao Yi, so how can he prepare a reception banquet for him! Doesn't this make him even more arrogant
"Ayi." At this time, Xiao Fang spoke, and said with a loving face, "Since you are married, it is not convenient to live in the Ningxia residence in the outer courtyard. Mother thinks that you should live in Tinglan residence for the time being. The concubine Shi Zi came from the north, and the weather in southern Xinjiang is hot, so I'm afraid she might not be used to it, so living in Tinglan near the water is the most suitable." She said and looked at King Zhennan, "What do you think, my lord?"
King Zhennan nodded in agreement, and said: "You are still considerate, A Yi..."
"Father." Xiao Yi interrupted his words with a half-smile, "Father, I'm afraid I forgot, the rules set by grandfather, when the son grows up, he will move to Bixiao Hall and handle affairs alone."
King Zhennan frowned.
Nangong Yue heard Xiao Yi mention Bixiao Hall, it is said that this was planned by the old Zhennan Wang himself.
Bixiaotang has its own Dongyi Gate, which is directly facing the Dongjie Gate, which is like a palace of its own in the palace of the king.
Yimen is the gate of etiquette, which is the second main gate after the main gate, and it is the place to welcome and send off guests.
It can be seen from this that the old King Zhennan really had good intentions and deliberately designed the palace in such a way that he hoped that his son could manage his own Bixiaotang relatively independently and lay the foundation for the succession to the throne in the future.
Xiao Fang naturally would not want Xiao Yi to establish his own family, which means that her son will be farther and farther away from the position of eldest son.
How could she let them live in Bixiaotang
Sure enough, I heard Xiao Fang hurriedly said: "Ayi, it's not that mother doesn't let you live in Bixiao Hall, it's because Bixiao Hall has been vacant for a long time, you came back in a hurry this time, and you haven't had time to repair it. How could you let you live in that kind of place after taking the concubine with you to return to Southern Border after much difficulty." As he spoke, he looked at King Zhennan with an aggrieved expression, as if his good intentions had been let down.
"Father." Before Zhennan King could speak, Xiao Yi cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Bixiaotang was the place where you lived back then. My son doesn't think his mother is ugly, so why would his son dislike you for living there?" What about the place? It’s not too late to wait for the son to live in and then slowly repair it. I only wronged the son’s concubine. But as the saying goes, no matter how dilapidated the Bixiaotang is, the concubine can only live in with her son. You can't let the emperor bestow a princess mansion, and your son will live in the princess mansion as Yibin."
King Zhennan had nothing to say immediately, his daughter-in-law is a dignified princess, and according to the rules, he is qualified to open a mansion independently. Xiao Yi, a rebellious son, has always acted recklessly, if he is really asked to ask the emperor to grant the princess mansion, and then bring his wife to live in the princess mansion, then he will lose all the face of the king of Zhennan!
It's the emperor's fault, why can't Xiao Yi be given an ordinary girl? What kind of princess is given to him, and it's messed up now!
Xiao Fang wanted to persuade him again, but Zhennan Wang said impatiently: "That's enough, A Yi wants to live in Bixiao Hall, let him live there!"
Xiao Fang was afraid of offending King Zhennan, so he finally didn't speak again.
Xiao Yi didn't bother to say anything, he took Nangong Yue to salute, and walked away swaggeringly.
King Zhennan didn't keep them.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue went out of Qianzhongyuan hand in hand, this time Nangong Yue did not sit on the shoulders, but walked together with Xiao Yi, with a woman in Tsing Yi from the palace leading the way.
Xiao Yi was overjoyed, almost impatient to show Nangong Yue the place where he grew up and their future home. But today is indeed getting late, and the days to come are long!
When they got married, he was so anxious to go to southern Xinjiang that he didn't even have time to take Nangong Yue to get acquainted with the mansion in the capital, but this time, he must do his best, this time he must take Nangong Yue well Get acquainted with their new home.
"Ah Yue, I'll take you to Bixiao Hall."
Xiao Yi smiled slightly at Nangong Yue, took her hand, and led her slowly towards the Bixiao Hall on the east side of the palace.
As soon as you enter the Bixiao Hall, you can see the green bamboos in the garden rustling in the spring breeze, with a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere.
Although Bixiao Hall has not been lived in for a long time, it is the residence of the prince after all, and there are still servants who come to clean it regularly on weekdays. It is not as messy as imagined, but Bixiao Hall has been vacant for a long time, even if someone cleaned it , It is also difficult to clean up in a short time.
When I came back this time, it was a light car, and many things needed to be repurchased.
Nangong Yue first asked people to take the two cats, a dog and an eagle they brought to settle down. After the long journey, even Mao Xiaobai, who was so proud and arrogant, was a little unhappy, but Ying Xiaohui spread his wings and flew high. Addiction, showing off to two cats and one dog from time to time.
Nangong Yue didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Hui who was hovering excitedly above her head, so she called Baihui to lead someone to tidy up the inner room of the main house first, at least she could rest first, as for other places, she could tidy up slowly.
After all, she was going to live here for several years, and she had enough time.
In less than half an hour, the inner room had already been tidied up. Que'er and Huamei specially made two beds in the inner room. One was covered with red phoenix quilt and the other was covered with royal blue carp. As for the brocade quilt, one can tell at a glance that the one by the window is for Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi smiled heartily, his salary has undoubtedly improved a lot, at least he doesn't have to live in the banquet room, congratulations! He secretly decided to give these two maids extra monthly money.
After entering the room, Nangong Yue's energy, which she had managed to cheer up, suddenly sank down. She yawned lazily, her face unable to hide the fatigue.
Xiao Yi said distressedly: "Smelly girl, don't rush to pack your things, take a rest earlier."
Nangong Yue rubbed her eyes, and replied, "I don't clean up today, let's have dinner first." Then, Nangong Yue called Baihui and asked her to pass the meal in the big kitchen.
Baihui was about to go out after receiving orders, when Que'er happened to come over and report that dinner had been delivered in the big kitchen.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked her to bring in the food box.
There are six dishes and one soup in the food box, and it is still steaming. When it is opened, it is full of aroma. It seems that it is not a matter of casual handling.
Que'er blessed Fushen, and said: "The nanny who came to deliver the food said it was Concubine Wei's intention. Concubine Wei came to say that the son and the concubine have worked hard day and night, so I won't disturb you today. I will stay for a few days. Come again someday to talk to the Crown Princess."
This side concubine Wei is quite interesting.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, and said, "Go and find out, is it Madam or Concubine Wei who is presiding over Zhongfu in the palace now."
The Xiaofang family has the status of the first wife, but there is no imperial concubine order.
Although side concubine Wei is a side concubine, she has the imperial order of the second rank. In this royal palace of Nuo Da, their identities are actually a bit embarrassing. Concubine Wei was able to bypass Xiaofang's and let the kitchen deliver dinner to them, so obviously she should still hold the power of middle-feeding in the palace.
But no matter what, Concubine Wei is still just a concubine, she wants to take this opportunity to show her kindness to them, right
As a newcomer, Nangong Yue planned to take a look first before talking.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue had eaten together, and the hot water was ready. Nangong Yue yawned and went to the clean room first, to wash up.
The sound of splashing water soon came from the bathroom, Xiao Yi sat lazily by the window, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly uncontrollably.
That's great! The stinky girl followed him home!
After burning incense, Nangong Yue walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair on her head, sat in front of the dressing table, and let Baihui slowly wring her hair dry.
Her hair was black, thick and long, and looked pretty, but it took a lot of time to wring it out... By the end, Nangong Yue was already extremely sleepy, and her head was shaking bit by bit.
Xiao Yi quietly took over Baihui's work and drove her out again. He thinks that his movements are gentle, and his actions are not bad compared to Baihui's. Whoever wants to do it, he heard Nangong Yue say in a sleepy voice: "Ayi, let's go to visit the graves of grandfather and concubine mother tomorrow!"
Xiao Yi's hand paused, and after a while, he replied softly: "Okay!"
Tomorrow, they will go to visit the graves of their grandfather and concubine mother!
He wants to tell his grandfather and mother concubine that he married a good girl, the best girl in the world!
