"all… "
The childish voice sounded in Yuan Yuyi's ears, who was in a daze.
She was startled, and then realized that the little guy called "Auntie".
The little guy is calling her!
Yuan Yuyi looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief, couldn't help but bowed her head and kissed the little guy's delicate cheek, and praised: "Brother Yu is so smart!"
The little meat ball tilted the cat's head and waved the little meat hand at her. Yuan Yuyi leaned over obediently, and then heard "what's the matter", the little guy kissed her on the cheek back and forth , then raised the rattle in his hand, and looked at her eagerly.
Yuan Yuyi looked at him, took the rattle tentatively, and turned it around a few times. The little guy immediately showed his face and gave her an encouraging smile, while she took a tambourine and shook it occasionally.
"Boom boom boom..."
The regular sound of the rattle reverberates in the room, occasionally mixed with the crisp bells of the tambourine and the joyful laughter of the little guy. Yuan Yuyi is busy coaxing the little guy, and has long since left behind the trace of loss and melancholy .
Que'er and the others looked at it amusedly, and thought: It seems that after the prince, the little grandson used "a beautiful smile" to win over a "subject under the skirt" who was willing to "spend a lot of money" for him.
The little guy got hungry after playing for a while, and his mother-in-law waited on him to eat. The little guy was well-bred, and he stopped playing when he was eating. He concentrated on eating his milk soup, and occasionally looked at him with curious big eyes. Looking at Nangong Yue and the others in the room.
"Sister Yi," Nangong Yue said to Yuan Yuyi in a gentle voice, "I have someone clean up the guest house, you go to wash up first, take a rest earlier, we will talk tomorrow if you have anything to say. The shape is similar, she still has some new clothes that have just been made and haven't been worn, and I will send them to you later... "
Yuan Yuyi was a little embarrassed, but she was not polite to Nangong Yue, and accepted it frankly. With their many years of friendship, there is no need to say much about many things, Yue'er's kindness and consideration are just in my heart.
Afterwards, Yuan Yuyi followed Thrushcross to the guest house to settle down, and Nangongyue asked Baihui to report to Zhennan Wang, wanting to keep Yuan Lingbai and Yuan Yuyi in the palace. Zhennan Wang heard that it was Yuncheng The prince and girl from the princess's mansion came to visit, and agreed immediately.
After a while, the entire palace knew that there was a distinguished guest from the capital. Since the third princess came to southern Xinjiang, there had been no distinguished guests in the palace for a long time. The servants were all busy and there was a little commotion.
The next day, Yuan Yuyi, who had a good night's rest, became much more energetic. Together with Yuan Lingbai and Nangong Yue, she greeted King Zhennan. While Zhennan Wang was in full bloom, he couldn't help feeling: Didn't you say that you are close to Zhu Zhechi? How come that Nizi's friends in the capital are more talkative than him!
Logically speaking, after meeting Queen Zhennan, the brother and sister should go to visit the third princess who is also in Luoyue City, but both of them coincidentally did not mention this matter, as if they didn't know that the third princess was also in the city.
The Yuan brothers and sisters lived in the palace with peace of mind. Yuan Yuyi was fine, and could chat and play with Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Xiao Yu. In comparison, Yuan Lingbai was extremely boring. Thinking that neither the elder brother Xiao Yi nor Fu Yunhe were in Luoyue City.
Nangong Yue also knew this, so she called Han Qixia together on the fifth day of November, and they all went to Anlan Palace for a stroll.
The brothers and sisters of the Yuan family who had never been to the Mazu Temple saw everything very fresh, excited and joyful, and even the turmoil in the capital was so far away that it seemed to be something from a previous life.
First worshiped Mazu, and then enjoyed some scenery in the garden in the backyard of Anlan Palace. The sun was almost noon, and everyone went to the west wing, intending to eat some vegetarian dishes.
While talking, everyone walked slowly, leisurely and leisurely.
Facing the comfortable autumn wind, looking at a few friends, Yuan Yuyi's uneasiness and uneasiness that had come thousands of miles away disappeared in the wind. She looked at the blue sky with a smile and sighed: "Nanjiang, it's so wonderful!"
Compared with the royal capital, it is not an exaggeration to say that Southern Xinjiang is a paradise.
Saying that, Yuan Yuyi looked at Han Qixia, and said with emotion: "Cousin Xia, it's fortunate that you came to Southern Xinjiang."
Otherwise, even if Han Qixia escaped Kui Lang, there would still be the new king of Xiye...
Han Qixia also knew why Yuan Yuyi came to southern Xinjiang, and her expression was somewhat sad.
Thinking of the royal capital and the court, Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but sighed, and talked about Han Huaijun leading troops to the western border; the emperor's stroke; the king of Shunjun framed the fifth prince; The thing about the king poisoning the emperor...
Yuan Lingbai added a few words from time to time, each of these things was really unpleasant, and even the atmosphere around him became dull...
During the speech, the West Wing Room appeared in front of everyone, and the tempting aroma of food wafted out from the courtyard with the breeze, making people move their index fingers and subconsciously quicken their pace. At this moment, a person wearing A middle-aged woman with grape-colored silk beige just came out of the yard.
Before Nangong Yue and the others could react, the woman had already blurted out in surprise: "Shizi Concubine, Miss Xiao!" She stepped forward courteously to greet them, beaming with joy, "What a coincidence!" Yes, whatever you ask for! ... It seems that even Mazu Niangniang is on the side of their Chang family.
"Madam Chang." Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei returned the salutes respectively.
This woman is Chang Huaixi's mother, Mrs. Chang.
Mrs. Chang looked at the other people who were following Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei without any trace, and immediately found that the Yuan Lingbai brothers and sisters were a little unfamiliar, and she secretly wondered who they were, and they seemed to be very close to Shi Zifei and the others. .
Could it be that the concubine Shizi is looking for Miss Xiao
Mrs. Chang couldn't help but have this thought in her heart, but she quickly vetoed it, no, if they saw each other, it should be accompanied by the man's elders.
Mrs. Chang was relieved a little, and greeted Xiao Fei enthusiastically: "Miss Xiao, my sister Wei was talking about you with my concubine yesterday. Sister Wei said that she hadn't seen Miss Xiao for a long time. Miss, if Miss Xiao is free, she often comes to play with Sister Wei..."
Xiao Fei also had a good impression of Chang Huanwei, so she responded solemnly: "I'll send greeting cards to the family when I'm free."
Mrs. Chang had already prepared a lot of words, and wanted to lure Xiao Fei to come to play with her at home, but she didn't want it to be so easy, she narrowed her eyes with a smile, and hurriedly agreed. Seeing that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei had guests, she wisely didn't stay any longer and left immediately.
Xiao Fei glanced at Mrs. Chang's back, and was about to continue walking, but suddenly thought of something, so she stopped before taking a step.
She remembered!
The Chang family was on the list that the sister-in-law gave her last month. She still remembered that the fifth son of Chang had entered the rookie camp, just like the owner of the Harrier Eagle...
Looking at Xiao Fei who was belatedly aware, Yuan Yuyi covered her mouth and snickered, vaguely aware of something, after all, she was also taken by her mother Yuncheng to experience similar situations several times.
"Yue'er," Yuan Yuyi leaned into Nangong Yue's ear and whispered, "Is that the one you chose for younger sister Fei?"
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, and said implicitly: "I've seen a few, and they're all good. I haven't decided yet..."
In other words, the Chang family is just one of several families selected. Yuan Yuyi raised her eyebrows with interest, looked at Xiao Fei again, and jokingly said: "Yue'er, you are not as old as me, but you seem to have raised a big daughter. Sure enough, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother... "As she said, she said with some emotion, "It's really not easy to be in charge of the family. It seems that I'd better marry the youngest son..."
Although Yuan Yuyi deliberately lowered her voice, they were so close that Yuan Lingbai and Xiao Fei could hear them clearly.
Yuan Lingbai couldn't help but twitched his brows, his younger sister never knew how to be ashamed.
In the next moment, Xiao Fei said with concern: "Sister Yi, I think so too."
Seeing Xiao Fei's serious look, Yuan Yuyi laughed out loud, and the crisp laughter echoed around...
Seeing this, both Nangong Yue and Han Qixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They both knew that Yuan Yuyi's marriage was not going well, and they were also worried that she had a grudge. Now they are all at ease.
The two of them quickly exchanged glances, since Yuan Yuyi came to Nanjiang, they should take her to have fun. When a woman is alive, how many times can she have the opportunity to travel thousands of miles away and enjoy the scenery of foreign lands!
"Sister Fei, you are so caring, even if Yue'er takes care of it for you, she would be happy, unlike some people..." Yuan Yuyi said, looking at Yuan Lingbai meaningfully. Mother Yuncheng didn't know how many ladies she had arranged for her second brother, but ah, this wild horse just didn't like it.
For a moment, Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei and Han Qixia all looked at Yuan Lingbai.
Yuan Lingbai shrugged his shoulders innocently, whoever asked his mother to choose were all ladies from great families, all of them were rigid and boring, if he wants to get married, he must find someone to hit it off with! Otherwise, wouldn't that harm other girls
"Forget it, second brother, don't harm other girls." Yuan Yuyi shook her head and sighed to express her brother's heartfelt feelings. She came all the way to southern Xinjiang, and she knew how unreliable Yuan Lingbai was... Her second brother Still a child who hasn't grown up!
The girls couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Lingbai snorted lightly, looking like "he's an imposing man too lazy to argue with mere little girls". How could these little girls understand him! Compared with getting married, he is more like going to the military camp to go to the battlefield like Fu Yunhe and Han Huaijun... But his mother just disagrees and insists on keeping him at home!
However, now that he has come to southern Xinjiang, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and his mother can't control him anymore. This is a great opportunity!
Thinking about it, Yuan Lingbai's eyes were shining brightly, he glanced at Nangong Yue quietly, and planned to talk to his sister-in-law when he returned to Bixiaotang.
While chatting and laughing, a group of people entered the wing room to enjoy vegetarian food...
When they left Anlan Palace and returned to Bixiaotang, it was already past time, and everyone went back to their respective places. Only Yuan Lingbai quietly came to Nangong Yue for advice, and told his passion for joining the army, and finally Said: "Sister-in-law, can I count on you?"
He looked at Nangong Yue eagerly, like a little milk dog wagging its tail, and Nangong Yue really couldn't bear to reject him.
"Abbe, I can't decide this matter..."
Seeing that Yuan Lingbai suddenly turned into a lethargic little milk dog, Nangong Yue continued: "I have to write to your elder brother."
The next moment, Yuan Lingbai's eyes became sparkling again, and he solemnly begged Nangong Yue, which meant that his life and future would be entrusted to his sister-in-law, etc., and finally he was happy Nangong Yue couldn't stop laughing when she left.
On the same day, a gray carrier pigeon flew out of Bixiaotang...
After getting Nangong Yue's guarantee, Yuan Lingbai felt at ease, and practiced martial arts obediently every day in Bixiaotang's martial arts arena... until five days later, on the tenth day of November, another one was welcomed in Bixiaotang. As a white carrier pigeon, Baihui quietly sent a note to Yuan Lingbai. Yuan Lingbai was overjoyed and left Luoyue City that day...
Afterwards, Luoyue City returned to its original calm, and every day was nothing more than family matters.
No one expected that on November 15th, a storm hit without warning, and an imperial decree was rushed to the Zhennan Palace, which shocked the entire palace——
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Today there is Xiao Shi, the eldest daughter of the King of Zhennan, who is well-educated, dignified and virtuous, gentle and graceful, and specially conferred the title of Princess Xiping. She will be married to Xiye soon. I respect you!"
Seeing the imperial decree, King Zhennan, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei had different expressions, and the hall was silent for a while.
The King of Zhennan looked at the imperial decree in shock, and then he was convinced that the emperor wanted his eldest daughter to marry Xiye...
Marrying Xi Ye is naturally not a good thing, but resisting the decree is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan. King Zhennan frowned slightly, and looked at Xiao Fei who was at the side with some hesitation.
After the initial shock, Xiao Fei quickly calmed down, and resolutely said: "Father, there is no need to make things difficult. As the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace, my daughter should naturally bear corresponding responsibilities while enjoying the glory. Since the emperor The decree is for my daughter to marry Xi Ye, so let her go."
Xiao Fei's dark eyes were calm and calm, and it seemed that there was a kind of maturity beyond her age. She said to herself in her heart that if she didn't go to get married, she would be against the decree, and she must not implicate the Zhennan Palace for her own sake.
"Sister Fei, you have grown up and become sensible." Zhennan Wang looked at Xiao Fei with satisfaction, only feeling that this daughter was not like her bold mother, Xiao Fang, but more like herself, knowing that she was thinking of the palace.
At this time, Nangong Yue said: "Sister Fei, you go down first, your father and brother are the ones to decide this matter."
Xiao Fei didn't ask any further questions, and Fushen resigned.
Nangong Yue watched Xiao Fei go away, then solemnly blessed Zhennan Wang, and said seriously: "Father, my daughter-in-law thinks this matter is not easy..."
"Shizifei, you mean..." Zhennan Wang raised his eyebrows suspiciously, isn't it just a marriage? What could be more simple
Nangong Yue said unhurriedly: "Father, think about it, there are so many noble girls in the capital, and they want to pick a girl to marry, and it's everywhere. This somehow fell on Sister Fei, and the daughter-in-law thinks I'm afraid there's a reason for this."
Hearing Nan Gongyue's words, King Zhennan felt a little strange, with a dignified look on his face, he nodded and said, "Yes, there are so many clans to choose from in the capital, why did you choose Sister Fei?" The more Nan Wang thought about it, the more he felt that what Shi Zifei said was right, there must be something strange in it.
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and she half-closed her eyelids and said: "Father, now that Xiye is committing crimes, my Southern Border Army has gone to support Western Xinjiang, and the war is still going on. At this time, our Zhennan Palace should be careful to avoid suspicion... Daughter-in-law thinks Well, if Sister Fei is married to Xiye, the relationship between our Zhennan Palace and Xiye will be unclear."
The King of Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and his heart trembled: What the Concubine Shizi said was that once Sister Fei married Xiye, it would mean that their Zhennan Palace and King Xiye would become in-laws.
Nangong Yue quickly looked at Zhennan Wang's thoughtful face, and continued: "Father, my daughter-in-law is afraid that this is the emperor testing our Zhennan Palace, whether we have..."
unruly heart.
Nangong Yue didn't say the last four words, but they had already surfaced in King Zhennan's heart.
That's right, the emperor has always been worried about their Zhennan Palace, that's why he kept the rebellious son in the capital as a hostage for so many years... In this case, the emperor still asked the girl from the palace to marry Xiye, so isn't he afraid of the Zhennan Palace? Taking this opportunity to connect with Xiye, will they join hands with each other in the future? !
The emperor has always been suspicious... By the way, the emperor must be "throwing stones to ask for directions"!
"This matter must not be dealt with!" Zhennan Wang blurted out eagerly, his back was wet in an instant, and he was even more afraid for a while.
If their Zhennan Palace accepted the imperial edict and immediately agreed to the marriage, the emperor would definitely think that their Zhennan Palace had disobedience and wanted to collaborate with the enemy Xiye!
"Snapped!"
As soon as the King of Zhennan slapped the table, he said in a dignified voice: "Our Zhennan Prince's Mansion is loyal to Dayu and the imperial court, and has no second thoughts. The girls of the Prince's Mansion will never marry barbarians."
As he said that, he looked at Nangong Yue with admiration, and stroked his beard. It's still the concubine Shizi who thinks clearly!
When you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous man!
Nangong Yue looked at King Zhennan with admiration and blessed him again: "Father Wang is wise."
After a pause, Nangong Yue changed the subject and said with a hint of a smile: "Father, brother Yu has been thinking about my father recently, and every time I play the single-skin drum my father gave me, I call him Zuzu. Later, my daughter-in-law asked the nanny to hug Brother Yu to greet you..."
As soon as Nangong Yue mentioned the single-skin drum, King Zhennan seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I promised Brother Yu that I would give him a whole set of various skin drums, and I already prepared them yesterday. Here it comes, I will send someone to Brother Yu later." Saying this, King Zhennan couldn't wait to present the treasure to his grandson.
The smile on the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth deepened, and she said: "Then my wife thanked the king for Brother Yu."
The thrush at the side lowered his brows and pleasing to the eye, trying hard to hold back a smile, seeing the concubine concubine coaxing the prince into obedience, completely following the concubine's wishes, this is really more exciting and interesting than the playbook.
After Nangong Yue left the hall, she told Xiao Yu to play with his grandfather in the outer study of the palace. Of course, the more important purpose was to divert Zhennan King's attention so that he would not "think wildly" when he was too idle.
Nangong Yue herself went to Yuebiju to meet Xiao Fei.
At this time, the night had already fallen, and the moon and stars were thin in the night sky. The silver moonlight softly sprinkled on the yard, illuminating the way forward for the sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
In southern Xinjiang in November, the night was already a bit cold, both of them wore thick cloaks, Xiao Fei looked a little serious in the night wind.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about..."
Xiao Fei thought that Nangong Yue was here to comfort her, but she didn't want Nangong Yue to take out a ball of orange fur from the cloak, hand it to Xiao Fei, and interrupt Xiao Fei's words.
Xiao Fei was dumbfounded holding the warm orange.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei without blinking and said: "Sister Fei, you are right. As a daughter of the royal family, while enjoying the glory, you should also bear corresponding responsibilities. But, it's not yet time When you take responsibility...it's not a question of whether you want to get married." Her few words were meaningful.
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue suspiciously, confused, and the little orange in her arms let out a "meow", as if asking questions for the master.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, looked up at the silver full moon in the night sky, and said, "Sister Fei, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, our Zhennan Palace has always been a thorn in the Emperor's side..."
Xiao Fei tilted her head, half understanding. On the surface, she understood what the sister-in-law said, but she didn't understand how it had anything to do with whether she was married to Xi Ye.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei again, and said seriously: "Anyway, Sister Fei, you don't need to worry about this matter, just leave everything to your elder brother."
Under the night sky, Nangong Yue's eyes were shining brightly, as if they were brighter than the moon, Xiao Fei nodded involuntarily, only to hear her sister-in-law's smiling voice piercing into her ears through the cold night wind:
"As the prince of the royal family, this is the responsibility of your elder brother!"
