Nangong Yue slept very deeply this time, and when she opened her eyes for an unknown number of times, the inner room was brightly lit, and it was probably already high in the sun.
The sunlight from outside shone in through the translucent window paper, casting a soft halo on the marble floor.
Nangong Yue yawned, sat up from the bed, and looked around blankly.
She was sleepy last night, and she didn't look carefully at the environment here. At this moment, she felt that she was in a completely strange place, and there was no familiar person beside her. It was really awkward.
She got up and put on her clothes, then went to the copper basin beside the bed, wet a white towel to clean her face.
"Clatter..."
A sound of water brought in a court lady in emerald clothes who was waiting outside. She stepped into the room tremblingly, and seeing Nangong Yue washing herself, she was so frightened that her legs gave way, she knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "See … I have met the concubine Shizi. Slave Zhizi, please let the servant serve the concubine Shizi..."
Although the court lady named Zhizi's speech was not very standard, she still articulated her words clearly, her demeanor was humble and respectful, and there was a hint of fear in her tone.
Seeing the other party's uneasy look, Nangong Yue responded with a gentle expression, and asked the time again, and learned that it was already half past time, remembering that Xiao Yi mentioned that he would be back before noon when he was sleepy, and ordered: " It's getting late, let's prepare lunch."
"Yes!" Zhizi quickly accepted the order, her heart that had been hanging in the air finally let go a little bit, but she was still a little nervous.
At the beginning of the year, Dayu's Zhennan Prince's son led troops into the palace. At that time, the servants in the palace were anxious and worried about their own fate. The most desolate thing in the history of coups was their innocent palace servants. Human beings are either executed or sent to the red account and become playthings of the soldiers. There are not a few who are humiliated to death...
But what I didn't expect was that, except for those palace people who were originally serving the nobles who were taken away by the Southern Border Army, the rest of the palace people were only under house arrest in the palace. No, they were not beaten, they were not starved, and no one came to humiliate them... The tragic fate they expected never happened to them at all.
After being frightened for a while, their hearts finally calmed down a little, and they felt that there should be no fear of their lives, so they began to plan to find a way out for themselves.
But the problem is that the prince of Zhennan has already returned to Dayu Southern Border, and no one in the palace needs their service... It wasn't until a few months ago that a Marquis An Yi came, which caused some ripples in the stagnant palace. They thought that Marquis An Yi would choose a group of palace servants to serve him, but in the end there was no movement at all, which disappointed several active people.
This time, it was heard that the concubine came to Nanliang with the concubine, and once again the fire in everyone's hearts was ignited. In order to serve the concubine, many people competed with each other and tried their best.
As for her, she has never worked as a close servant before, and she is a bit older. She just hopes to live a smooth life, and she doesn't want to fight for anything in the past, but she never thought that because she knows a little bit of Dayu Mandarin, It was picked.
Now seeing Zhennan Wang Shizi seems to be quite amiable, presumably as long as she is obedient and serves carefully, Shizi Concubine should not embarrass herself.
Thinking of this, Zhi Zi became more and more careful, and hurriedly went out to order the little maid to prepare meals, then returned to the inner room to serve Nangong Yue, and helped her pull a simple Nanliang hairstyle.
Gardenia's workmanship is ingenious, she pulls it quickly and well, and she wears a few small flowers on her temples. She doesn't need gems and hair accessories, and she looks fresh and moving.
Nangong Yue wore a white magnolia-colored Nanliang dress. The slightly slim dress outlined her slender and exquisite curves. A pair of half-sleeves past the wrists exposed her slender wrists. There was a hint of sassiness in the elegance. At first glance, apart from her pale complexion, she really looks like a girl from Nanliang.
Looking at her completely new self in the bronze mirror, Nangong Yue immediately felt relieved. At this moment, she heard a court lady come hurriedly, and then said in stuttering Dayu words that the eldest son is back.
Before the lady could finish her sentence, Xiao Yi, who was dressed in a blue robe, had strode in. He saw Nangong Yue sitting in front of the dressing table at a glance, and his eyes lit up immediately.
His stinky girl is really beautiful!
Xiao Yi stared at Nangong Yue with scorching eyes, and he couldn't bear to move away. The maids at the side all lowered their heads halfway, not daring to glance around.
Nangong Yue stood up to greet her with a smile, and ordered Chuan Shan.
The two walked out hand in hand and sat down at a round table.
The first dish was quickly placed on the round table. Compared with Dayu's dishes, this Nanliang dish is relatively simple in terms of preparation and taste. It is better in that the colors are very bright and the presentation is very good. I am particular about myself, looking at this table is also pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Yi glanced at it, picked up a piece of burnt red and oily barbecue with chopsticks, and brought it to Nangong Yue's lips, and said, "Ah Yue, I have eaten this barbecue before. It tastes good. Would you like to try it?"
The barbecue was brought to her mouth, what else could Nangong Yue do, she could only open her mouth obediently.
The barbecue is grilled just right, the meat is tender and juicy when bitten down, but...
Nangong Yue frowned subconsciously.
Xiao Yi kept staring at Nangong Yue, naturally he didn't miss every change in her expression, and hurriedly said: "What? Isn't it delicious?" As he spoke, he directly put the barbecue that Nangong Yue took a bite of into his mouth.
Seeing his unabashed appearance, Nangong Yue was a little embarrassed, and said, "I just feel a little greasy."
She glanced at the dishes on the table, probably because the imperial cook in the palace was eager to present all the best dishes, so that the whole table was full of big fish and meat, but lacked priorities, making the dishes a bit greasy.
Xiao Yi thinks about it too, Ah Yue is tired these days, how can he recover after a night of sleep, he should eat some light food to nourish his stomach.
So, he immediately ordered: "Don't withdraw, change to some light and appetizing side dishes."
"No need." Nangong Yue raised her hand to stop her, and the hearts of the maids present were so frightened that they secretly glanced at Nangong Yue in fear, fearing that they would be dragged down because the food did not suit the master's taste...
Several court ladies couldn't help but began to fantasize about their tragic end, only to hear Nangong Yue say with a smile: "Ah Yi, there is no need to withdraw this dish. I won't eat it. Isn't there you?" No appetite, every meal is only too little meat.
Xiao Yi changed his words politely and asked the maid to add some appetizers.
The maids secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took orders to retreat.
It was only tea time, and the maids immediately served three cold dishes and two hot dishes, which was faster than Nangong Yue expected. The chef must have prepared it in advance, fearing that the dishes would not suit the master's taste.
Nanliang's cold dishes are sour and sweet, which suits Nangong Yue's appetite very well. Seeing that she is eating happily, Xiao Yi is also relieved, and moves his chopsticks like a storm.
After his stomach was seven or eight percent full, he slowed down the speed of moving his chopsticks. He looked at Nangong Yuesiwen's eating with a smile, and felt that every movement of his stinky girl was so beautiful and pleasing to the eye. His eyes moved from her red lips to her slender fingers, and then to her jade wrists. Her skin was like jade, which could be broken by blowing...
Xiao Yi felt his teeth itch, and really wanted to go up and take a bite.
Because of the hot weather in southern Xinjiang, girls in southern Xinjiang often wear half-sleeved sleeves to reveal their forearms, not only commoner girls, but also girls of some status, but Nangong Yue grew up in the capital of the king, and she has always been used to long clothes. Long-sleeved, he is used to being able to make no mistakes in his demeanor, this is the first time he saw her wearing a dress with half-sleeves...
I should still take Ah Yue to some places where no one knows them!
Xiao Yi's eyes were burning, seeing that Nangong Yue could no longer enjoy the food leisurely, she couldn't help saying: "Ah Yi..."
Xiao Yi blinked innocently, like a big boy who has been wronged, his peach blossom eyes gleamed, as if he was saying: He didn't do anything, what kind of world is this, no one is allowed to even look at him !
Nangong Yue's eyebrows twitched, Xiao Yi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, there is nothing good in this small place in Nanliang, except for Nanliang horses, which are probably rich in jade."
Is there any woman who doesn't love jade, Nangong Yue's eyes lit up.
Seeing her eyes shining brightly, Xiao Yi continued cooperatively: "There are many emerald veins in the south of Nanliang. There is a jade market outside Wuli City, where people often buy jade and gamble on stones. There is a Jade King competition, if you like it, how about we go and play together?"
"Ayi, I haven't seen gambling stones yet." Nangong Yue clasped her palms together and said enthusiastically, "I still thought that although the flowers in Nanliang are beautiful, but those flower garlands are inconvenient to bring back to southern Xinjiang, so I just Pick some jade and give it to Sister Fei, some younger sisters, and the second younger siblings, they will be very happy."
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue almost couldn't wait.
It's rare to come to a foreign country, Xiao Yi just wants to take Nangong Yue out for a walk, not to bring gifts for Xiao Fei and the others! The smile on Xiao Yi's face froze for a moment, sure enough, all the people who competed with him for the attention of the stinky girl were extremely annoying!
At this time, Zhizi on the side carefully asked if he should withdraw the staple food and serve snacks and fruits.
Xiao Yi responded, and then told Nangong Yue: "Ah Yue, eat more fruits. It's almost June, and Nanliang is hotter than Nanliang here. You have to be careful and watch your body, don't suffer from heat stroke."
"Understood. Mother Xiao." Nangong Yue looked at him amusedly, and responded with a rare playfulness.
Most of the maids serving in the palace didn't understand, but the maid named Zhizi understood it, and lowered her head even lower.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Concubine Shi Zi, do you want Xiao Mama to serve you to take a nap?"
A faint blush appeared on Nangong Yue's face, knowing that he was teasing her, she gave him a coquettish sideways glance.
I don't know if it was affected by his words, but she suddenly felt a strong sense of tiredness welling up, and couldn't help but yawn lazily.
The black eyes that looked energetic at first suddenly became sleepy. She blinked and tried to cheer up, but she was still listless.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help feeling a little worried, and leaned over to examine her complexion carefully, "Ah Yue, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xiao Yi also felt that Nangong Yue woke up several times last night, but she also slept for seven or eight hours, why is she still so mentally ill
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He stood up straight away, put his forehead against hers, and murmured, "I don't have a fever."
But he didn't feel relieved because of this, and said again: "Is it because you are too tired on the road, let's call an imperial doctor to have a look..." After speaking, he raised his voice, "Come here..."
Nangong Yue interrupted him with a smile: "Ayi, I'm fine, I checked my own pulse, I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with it."
Xiao Yi's pretty brows were tightly furrowed, but she didn't believe it. The last time Nangong Yue was poisoned, she also said she was fine, but nothing major happened.
The old adage that a doctor cannot heal himself is indeed true, you still need to hire a doctor to rest assured!
Thinking about it, Xiao Yisui pointed to a court lady with a round face and said, "Go! Hurry up and call the imperial physician!"
"Yes, Master Shizi." The palace maid replied in fear, and ran out of the hall like flying to invite the imperial physician.
Afterwards, Xiao Yi poured tea and water for Nangong Yue, and didn't even think about eating. Seeing Nangong Yue was both moved and helpless, and he could only helplessly reassure that he was really fine. Unfortunately, it was Xiao Yi who exchanged "I It's just disbelief."
After a while, an old doctor with gray hair and beard followed behind the round-faced lady-in-waiting, panting. Seeing his sweating profusely, those who didn't know thought that there was something serious about life and death.
Before the old imperial doctor had time to greet Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi directly ordered in Nanliang dialect: "Quickly ask the concubine Shi Zi for her pulse."
"Please take a pulse?" The old doctor blinked, looked at Xiao Yi foolishly, and asked for instructions, "Master, I don't know why to ask for a pulse?"
Xiao Yi's brows were furrowed immediately, and he stared at the old man like a sword, with a bit of sharpness in his tone: "Aren't you an imperial physician? You don't even know the pulse?"
"This... this..." The old doctor was seen sweating profusely, and his heart was beating wildly. After wiping the sweat with his cuff, he suddenly thought of something, and leaned back tremblingly, "Master, I... I have never learned Dayu's medical skills." Naturally, I don't know whether to "ask for the pulse" or "feel the pulse".
At the end, the old doctor's voice almost trembled. I've heard for a long time that the son of the world has an unpredictable temperament...
Xiao Yi's expression became even colder, and he asked angrily: "Then how do your doctors in Nanliang treat people?"
"Back to the son, the minister and others are all based on the patient's symptoms, boiled herbal medicine and prescribe the right medicine." The old doctor swallowed, and replied with difficulty, his voice became softer and softer, "Or use bloodletting therapy..."
"What's the mess?!" Xiao Yi's complexion became even uglier, his Ayue is fine, what kind of quack doctor wants to do bloodletting on her? !
This quack doctor, Xiao Yi thinks it is unreliable, how can he rest assured that the other party will prescribe medicine for Nangong Yue, if he is not sick and this quack doctor makes him sick, wouldn't he be annoyed to death? !
"Get lost, my son!" Xiao Yi sternly said.
The old doctor responded and ran away in a panic, thankful that he had saved his life.
Nangong Yue on the side was so teased that she burst out laughing.
Unlike Xiao Yi, who has never heard of Nanliang's medical skills, Nangong Yue has a little knowledge of it. Dayu's medical skills have gradually developed over the millennium, and are extensive and profound. However, the medical skills of many neighboring small countries have their own uniqueness in certain aspects. But it is not comprehensive enough, and even has a hint of blind luck. For example, this bloodletting therapy is suitable for fevers, sores, gout, tuberculosis and other fevers. Dayu Medical also uses bloodletting therapy...
However, she believes that Xiao Yi is not interested in listening to her detailing the differences in the pros and cons of medical skills in various countries.
"Ayi," Nangong Yue said seriously, "I'm really fine. Maybe it's because it's hot in Nanliang and I just had a full meal, so I feel sleepy."
Xiao Yi looked at her straight for a while, thinking about it, it's hot, and people are indeed prone to sleepiness.
He took her plain hand, and said in a rare serious way: "Ah Yue, if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me!"
His dark and beautiful eyes looked at her for a moment, remembering that when he returned to Luoyue City in mid-February, what he saw was her sickly appearance, and his heart aches until now.
He never... never wants to see Ah Yue like that again!
He hopes that she will always be healthy and healthy, and always show a bright smile to himself like now...
"Ayi." Nangong Yue clasped fingers with him, "I will pay attention to my body."
She knew what Xiao Yi was afraid of, and she knew that her body was not only about herself, but also about A Yi. Ah Yi was suffering too much, how could she bear to leave him alone.
They will be together forever and ever...
The eyes of the two were lingeringly glued together, Xiao Yi held her in his arms, and after a while, he kissed the top of her hair and said, "Ah Yue, how about we go to the jade market in the afternoon?"
Although Xiao Yi always said that it was wind or rain, Nangong Yue was still a little surprised and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Ah Yi, are you okay today?"
As Xiao Yi, he came to Nanliang, and many generals stationed here should come to the palace to meet him.
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue, and said confidently: "Ah Yue, I came back to Nanliang to bring you to play, Xiaobai is enough for the affairs here."
Seeing him without guilt, Nangong Yue didn't know if she should shed tears of sympathy for Guan Yu. This Ah Yi...
She didn't have a chance to say anything more, Xiao Yi had already pulled her up, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, we are here to play, why do we think so much? Having fun is our first task..."
He spoke eloquently and eloquently, and after talking about it, Nangong Yue was amused by her again.
After talking for a while, Xiao Yi asked people to get the horse ready.
Naturally, one cannot ride horses in the palace, but Xiao Yi has the final say in Nanliang Palace now, he and Nangong Yue went outside the palace side by side.
The palace gates opened one after another again, and when they reached the outermost palace gate, they saw a tall and strong man in his fifties waiting at the palace gate.
"Master!"
The man looked at Xiao Yi with surprise, and strode towards him and Nangong Yue, only to see that there were a few strands of white hair in his temple hair, he was wearing a heavy armor, he was very powerful when he walked, and he looked like a general the wind.
Xiao Yi didn't get off his horse, and greeted the visitor with a smile: "Old General Meng."
Of course Xiao Yi knew the person who came, his name was Meng Yiliang, like Tian He, he was a veteran who followed his grandfather back then, and now he is quite prestigious in the army.
"At the end of the day, I'll see my son." Meng Yiliang cupped his fists respectfully to Xiao Yi as a salute, feeling that he was really lucky today. He had just arrived at the gate of the palace and was planning to see the Shi Ziye. He thought that the palace gate was so heavy that he might not see anyone in half an hour, but he didn't expect that God helped him, and the Shi Ziye came out with the concubine Shi Zi.
"My lord, I will have an 'important matter' to discuss with my lord at the end." Meng Yiliang saw that Xiao Yi seemed to be leaving the palace, so he hurriedly said, and turned down the volume on the "important matter".
Xiao Yi felt a little impatient in his heart. What is more important in Nanliang today than taking his stinky girl out for a walk
He glanced at Meng Yiliang, and said calmly: "What's the matter with Old General Meng, but it's okay to say!"
Meng Yiliang looked at Nangong Yue, who was half a step behind Xiao Yi, and felt in his heart that what he was going to say was a major military matter, how could a woman and child hear it, and besides, this palace gate was not a study room, so how could people come and go? Good place to talk
Meng Yiliang's lips moved, and he hesitated for a moment.
But he was afraid of missing this rare opportunity, and he didn't know when he would find another opportunity to persuade the elder son alone, so he looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he made up his mind and reminded loyally: " Master, you have to be careful of An Yihou."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Yiliang without saying anything.
Meng Yiliang had no choice but to continue: "My lord, that Marquis of An Yi is planning to do something wrong, intending to seize military power in Nanliang and win the hearts of the people. He is clearly trying to empty the lord. My lord, I can't let that Marquis of An Yi do whatever he wants, otherwise it will be hard to win Nanliang might fall into the hands of Marquis An Yi."
