Li Shaluo bit her lower lip, and took a quick look at Xiao Yi.
The prince of Zhennan who is called "Killing God" in the rumors in the streets and alleys is so good-looking. Nanliang is mostly a rough guy with a skin like black charcoal. Thinking about it, the candidates for her son-in-law that the family selected for her are really one in the sky and the other in the bottom, and they cannot be compared at all.
The concubine of the Prince of Zhennan is really lucky.
Thinking about it, Li Shaluo's eyes were envious, but she immediately covered it up.
Many people around were whispering to each other and guessing, they didn't know who this young couple were noble people, so the girl from Gu Na's family came to this jade market to get on line with them.
Xiao Yi heard a thing or two from the comments of others, and said two words to Nangong Yue concisely: "Huang Shang."
Merchant profiteering. After Nangong Yue thought about it for a while, she understood, and she stopped talking to this girl, turned her head to Xiao Yi and said, "Ah Yi, let's take a look, I still want to pick some jade to bring back to Luoyue City." Nangong Yue pondered in her heart , I want to pick a piece of jade with a good water head, customize a brush washer and bring it back to Xiao Fei.
Xiao Yi responded immediately.
The two of them ignored Risaro as well, and walked forward while talking.
Li Shaluo was not discouraged because of this. For her, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she must not let it fall by the wayside.
My father also said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is not a failure until the end!
What's more, what she is facing now is not an ordinary person, but the new owner of this Nanliang land, so a temporary defeat is nothing.
Thinking of this, Li Shaluo cheered up, ran up again, and said sincerely: "My lord, wait a moment, please listen to me. Although it is presumptuous, I actually want to do business with you." See Xiao Yi Ignoring her, he continued, "I wonder if you have heard of the name of Nanlianggu's family? Our family has always been famous for breeding good horses. We have hundreds of horse farms, and the Fenglei horse farm outside Wuli city is even more famous. Liang's largest horse farm, all the horses are one in a hundred horses."
The Guna family started by raising horses. Since the last head, the Guna family has provided war horses exclusively for Nanliang, so not only has they accumulated a large amount of wealth, but even though they are merchants, they also have a lot of people in Nanliang. little prestige.
Military horses are very attractive to any side. Although the Gu Na family has an excellent advantage in this way, they are not the only ones raising horses in Nanliang. Especially after Nanliang's subjugation, the Gu family's status was embarrassing, and it might be taken over by other families, and the Gu family might really be doomed.
It's not just her, her two elder brothers also know this.
Li Shaluo even heard that her eldest brother was trying to please an old general of the Southern Border Army recently. She was complaining that she was one step too late, but she never expected that Prince Xiao would come to Wuli City at this time, and she was even more so than her elder brother. Knowing the whereabouts of Xiao Shizi one step earlier... This is a great opportunity, she must try to persuade Xiao Shizi to agree to purchase war horses from the ancient family.
Even though Xiao Yi ignored her, Li Shaluo didn't feel embarrassed, and followed Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue all the way, saying: "My lord, the Fenglei Racecourse is not far from here, if you don't believe me, you can go and have a look." She said respectfully , "I also hope that the young master can give the ancient family this opportunity. The ancient family will not let the young master down."
She clicked to the end and didn't continue talking, for fear of making Xiao Yi impatient.
At this time, Nangong Yue stopped.
Li Shaluo was overjoyed, and was about to speak, when Nangong Yue stopped to talk to herself, but picked up a palm-sized jade stone from a stall beside her, and started to play with it.
Li Shaluo thought about it, and said: "Young master, madam, I think you two must be people who love jade, but most of this jade market is just vulgar. From what I see, only the Jade King can be worthy of the two... She took out the piece of white wool again, and said, "It's like this one. You two are new to the jade market, why don't you stop for a while?"
Her eyes shone with confidence.
You can't rush to do business for a while, you have to do it step by step.
Even if the business cannot be negotiated with Xiao Shizi today, she still has to impress him.
Although it was not the same as the original plan, since Prince Xiao and Concubine Shizi came to the jade market, they must have some interest in the wool that can sell precious things.
Nangong Yue was indeed a little curious. They had been shopping here for so long, and they hadn't seen anyone offer a treasure yet.
Seeing Nangong Yue stop, Xiao Yi also followed suit.
Seeing this, Li Shaluo smiled deeper, and gave the raw material to a stone-cutting master, and said, "Keep the stone."
The master responded, and hurriedly opened the knife.
The crowd of onlookers leaned forward and let out an exclamation.
"See you green!"
After this knife cut, one can see an attractive green, the emerald green is rich and gorgeous, but crystal clear, the green is right, the green is thick, and the green is gorgeous...
"This is the best!"
One person blurted out, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, and the others also stood up, whispering to each other.
The others were amazed, but Li Shaluo was relieved a lot.
This piece of wool was taken out of the storehouse in the mansion before she went out, but before the stone was opened, the amount was always somewhat uncertain, and she was not relieved until this moment.
"Keep driving."
Li Shaluo said decisively, and the master continued to cut down the knife, and as the knife went down, the most vivid green color was revealed.
The hands of the stone-opening master almost trembled. Some woolen material was green at the first cut, but maybe it was just such a small piece of green, but this piece of woolen material was different. The emerald in it was at least as big as a baby's fist. See It is so green that if there is no flaw in the whole emerald, then...
The master cut the knife faster, everyone around gasped, and someone said excitedly: "This... this should be the dragon stone emerald? It is the best of the best among emeralds!"
"Yes, yes, this jade quality is at least worth a thousand gold, enough to compete for this year's Jade King."
"The girl from the Gu family is really not simple!"
"..."
Li Shaluo finally let go of the huge stone in his heart, and said respectfully: "The Gu Na family would like to present this piece of jade to the son and wife."
There was an uproar around, judging by the color of the head of water, it is worth a thousand dollars, the Gu family is really bold.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly. She was also very interested in watching it just now, especially the tense atmosphere around her was a little infected. Witnessing the birth of a piece of top-quality jadeite with her own eyes is really a good experience.
But it is enough to read it.
This emerald is indeed the best, she has no shortage of good jade, this priceless emerald is not as good as the two small jades just now in her eyes.
She smiled and said: "Young lady's eyesight is really good. This piece of jadeite does have the image of a Jade King. Congratulations, young lady." After watching the excitement, she was a little tired, and said to Xiao Yi: "Ah Yi, let's go back Let's go." Then, he asked the stall owner to pack up the piece of jade he just picked.
Xiao Yi's gaze was focused on Nangong Yue all the time, seeing her tired face, he naturally responded quickly.
"My lord, madam." Seeing this, Li Shaluo was a little anxious for a while, and blurted out, "Look at this..."
Xiao Yi glanced at her with a half-smile, although his attitude was casual, his eyes were as sharp as an arrow.
It's one thing for a businessman to be persistent, as long as he can coax Ah Yue to be happy, he doesn't care, but if he doesn't know how to measure it, it will be annoying.
Xiao Yi's gaze made Li Shaluo lower his head in fear, and subconsciously took half a step back.
She was a little reconciled, bit her lip, and wanted to speak, but when she looked up, she saw Xiao Yi was helping Nangong Yue onto the horse.
They originally rode out one by one, but seeing Nangong Yue's listless look, Xiao Yi was really not at ease, so he quickly got on his horse and rode with her, and rode away as soon as he caught the horse's belly, leaving only Roll Flying dust.
Li Shaluo stood there in a daze, she had to admit that she had failed.
She was silent for a while, then cheered up again, and told herself: Today she is not too defeated.
She once heard the rumors that the concubine Shizi was the first-rank princess of Dayu, she was so jealous that Xiao Shizi had no other concubine, and some people even said that Xiao Shizi only chose it for the sake of Emperor Dayu. The imperial concubine is so tolerant.
However, she found that whether it was the way Shizi Xiao carefully helped the concubine on the horse, or the way the two looked at each other from time to time, there was an indelible tenderness, which obviously did not match the rumors.
That being said, maybe she could try another way.
Back then, the ancestors of their Gu Na family also relied on perseverance to earn this family business. Since her blood also has the blood of her ancestors, then she can do it too!
Xiao Yi in the front led Nangong Yue out of the jade market. He deliberately slowed down his horse and rode towards Wuli City, while the mare that Nangong Yue rode followed consciously behind Xiao Yi's. After dark clouds and snow.
Tread Tread...
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, Nangong Yue yawned lazily.
"Ah Yue..."
Xiao Yi called out, wanting to ask her how she felt, but found that she was breathing evenly and long...
Nangong Yue actually fell asleep on the road.
Xiao Yi's brows were tightly furrowed, he can now be sure that something is wrong with his stinky girl!
I remember that it was the same when she was not recovered from the poisoning last time, she always seemed like she didn't get enough sleep... Could it be because of the fatigue of the recent journey, so that the poison repeated
The more Xiao Yi thought about it, the more worried he became, but the imperial doctor in Nanliang was really useless, and he didn't dare to let those quack doctors treat Ah Yue... Wait!
Xiao Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he was really confused.
Those quack doctors in Nanliang Palace are indeed unreliable, but there are also military doctors in the barracks. Even if those military doctors are better at sword wounds, their medical skills are much more reliable than those quack doctors.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi carefully adjusted the position for Nangong Yue, so that she could lean on him comfortably, and the speed of the horse became more stable.
The two went straight back to the Nanliang Palace, passed through the nine palace gates, and came to the Yuexi Hall... From the beginning to the end, Nangong Yue was in a drowsy sleep.
Xiao Yi carefully carried her down, and under the different eyes of many palace people, he personally sent Nangong Yue to the inner room, and gently placed her on the bed.
Nangong Yue, who was still drowsy at first, trembled when she touched the bed, and suddenly woke up.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked around in a daze, as if she couldn't figure out why she was here, followed her eyes to wake up, and said blushingly: "Ayi, I fell asleep?"
As she said that, she felt a little embarrassed, how could she be like a child, falling asleep as soon as she said she was sleeping.
"Just fell asleep for a while." Xiao Yi responded without making a sound. Anyway, no matter how much he told Ah Yue, she felt that she was fine, so why not call the military doctor quietly first.
Nangong Yue was helped by Xiao Yi to sit up, she remembered something, and asked, "Ah Yi, where are the two pieces of jade I won from betting on stones?"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, with a doting smile on his face. He poured out the two small pieces of jade from the purse he carried with him, stroked the top of her hair tenderly and said, "Don't worry, how dare I forget your things!"
Nangong Yue smiled coquettishly, played with the two small jade stones and said, "This piece of carving pen support, and this one, I have to think about it carefully..." Although the quality of these two pieces of jade is average, but along the jade If you engrave the texture on the surface, you should still be able to make a good gadget.
Xiao Yi took one of the jade stones the size of a finger, and then took out a carving knife out of nowhere, and deliberately diverted Nangong Yue's attention: "I will carve the brush holder for you now."
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up immediately, and her eyes were attracted by his movements.
Xiao Yi casually sized up the jade, and skillfully carved it with a carving knife...
Nangong Yue watched Xiao Yi's pretty fingers flying without blinking. A Yi's sword looks really good, whether it's a flying knife, a carving knife, a long knife, or a kitchen knife...
The corners of her mouth curled up, and her smile deepened.
In the inner room, it was quiet, only the sound of the breathing of the two, the sound of the carving knife on the jade, and the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind outside...
Unknowingly, all these are intertwined and turned into a peaceful lullaby.
Nangong Yue yawned, and felt her eyelids becoming heavy again. She closed her eyes and tilted her head...
Almost in the next moment, Xiao Yi held Nangong Yue's head firmly, and could feel her warm breath on his palm, warm and regular.
Ah Yue fell asleep.
Xiao Yi's eyes were darker and darker, and he lightly supported Nangong Yue to lie down, this time, he didn't disturb her at all.
Her pink lips moved, as if she had fallen into a deeper sleep.
Xiao Yi stared at Nangong Yue who was asleep for a moment, then turned around and walked out through the curtain.
A group of maids guarding outside hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't even look at them, he called a soldier over and said, "Go to the barracks and call me a military doctor!"
"Yes, Master Shizi." The soldier hurriedly clasped his fists and took the order away.
Xiao Yi then returned to the inner room of the Moon Breath Palace. Amidst the sound of strings of beads shaking, Nangong Yue didn't feel anything, and fell asleep by herself.
Xiao Yi sat down by the couch, holding one of her plain hands, the worry and fear that could not be concealed in his eyes...
At this moment, he no longer has the usual unruly and wanton; at this moment, he looks so lonely, like a lonely little boy.
He wanted to hold Nangong Yue's hand tightly and tell her not to leave him, but he was afraid that his excessive force would wake her up and frighten her.
His lips moved, and he said silently: Ah Yue, you must be fine!
In the inner room, quietly, heavily...
I don't know how long it took, and Zhizi's blunt voice came from outside: "My lord, Doctor Li is here."
As if struck by lightning, Xiao Yi suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Let him in."
After a while, there was a sound of hurried steps coming from outside, and then a sound of curtains being raised. Zhi Zi led a middle-aged man in his forties into the room.
This military doctor Li was of medium height, wearing a plain blue robe, his skin was tanned and rough, and he looked weather-beaten. He obviously came here in a hurry, and his breathing was still a little unsteady at this time.
He quickly walked up to him, cupped his fists and saluted: "I have met the son of the world."
Seeing that Xiao Yi was well-behaved, while Nangong Yue was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, he guessed that the concubine Shi Zi was feeling unwell, and he became even more nervous.
Everyone in the southern border army doesn't know that the Shi Ziye and the Shi Zifei are deeply in love, and the Shi Zifei has excellent medical skills. If this is a disease that the Shi Zifei can't cure herself, can she do it herself
The more Dr. Li thought about it, the more guilty he felt.
Xiao Yi got up and ordered: "Please take a pulse for Shi Zifei."
Hearing this, Zhizi hurriedly took the little scorpion to the side of the bed, but Li Junyi could only bite the bullet and stepped forward. Before he could feel his pulse, cold sweat was already dripping down his forehead.
After sitting down, he took a deep breath, collected himself, and stretched out three fingers to rest on Nangong Yue's bright wrist...
At this time, the inner room was surprisingly quiet, Zhizi held her breath unconsciously, and Xiao Yi even stared at Li Junyi's every move, paying attention to every change in his expression.
Li Junyi calmed down and felt the pulse under his fingers.
Smooth exchanges, like balls on a plate, should refer to smoothness, there is a sense of maneuvering and advancing between exchanges.
For Li Jun, who is a military doctor, this pulse is so familiar yet unfamiliar, it almost makes him wonder if he has made a mistake.
This matter is of great importance, and it cannot be wronged!
Doctor Li frowned slightly, and carefully confirmed it again.
Seeing Doctor Li's expression was a bit wrong, Xiao Yi's heart became more disturbed, and he thought: Is there really something wrong with Ah Yue...
At this moment, Doctor Li finally withdrew his hand, stood up, turned around and clasped his fists at Xiao Yi again, and said solemnly: "Master, I have checked the pulse of my concubine, my concubine has slippery pulse."
slippery pulse? ! Xiao Yi froze for a moment, what is the slippery pulse...
Doctor Li hurriedly put his words to the point: "Congratulations to the son, the concubine is a happy pulse."
happy pulse!
These two words echoed in Xiao Yi's ears repeatedly, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at Nangong Yue who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
His stinky girl is pregnant!
In an instant, many images flashed through his mind, and even explained many of the strange things about her during this time. No wonder she especially likes sweet and sour food recently, no wonder she hates greasy food recently, no wonder she has become more and more eccentric recently. The easier it is to get tired, no wonder she fell asleep while sitting up recently...
On the one hand, Xiao Yi suddenly realized, on the other hand, he was elated, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
The court lady Zhi Zi also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was not ill, and it was a great happy event. The eldest son and the imperial concubine were in a good mood, which was also good news for the former slaves in the palace.
After a while, Xiao Yi remembered to ask Doctor Li: "How is the concubine's health?"
The concubine's womb may be the future grandson, the next generation heir of the Zhennan Palace. Doctor Li didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly replied: "The concubine's body is recuperating well, and her pulse is very stable now. , It seems that it has been about a month."
If it was an ordinary pregnant woman, Doctor Li would just prescribe a dose of anti-fetal medicine to make her feel at ease, but now that the pregnant woman is Shi Zifei, he dare not prescribe it casually.
Xiao Yi waved his hand casually, and asked Li Junyi to go down, and Zhi Zi also went down with interest.
Xiao Yi sat down beside Nangong Yue again, and held her hand again, as if touching a peerless treasure.
To this day, he still feels like a dream.
Xiao Yi foolishly pinched himself... It hurts so much, it's not a dream!
Ah Yue is really pregnant! I am going to be a father, and Ah Yue is going to be a mother!
That little Ah Yue is now in Ah Yue's belly...
Thinking about it, Xiao Yi couldn't help stretching out his other hand, and gently covered Nangong Yue's abdomen, the corners of his mouth turned up again foolishly, his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons when he smiled.
Xiao Yi suddenly lay on his side on the bed, holding Nangong Yue's slender waist with one hand, looking at her sleeping face without blinking, his heart was warm, peaceful and warm.
God has really treated him too kindly!
With Ah Yue and their children, what more could he ask for? !
