www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

After returning to the palace from the Fangyan Festival, the emperor and the queen went to Fengluan Palace together.

At this time, it was the beginning of the lanterns, and the two had dinner together. The emperor rinsed his mouth with strong tea and said with emotion: "Queen, thanks to Brother Yi and Yue Yatou today. They defeated Qibi Samana. It really makes me and Dayu look good." Thinking of the Fang Banquet not long ago, the emperor couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Since the Xirong army approached Feixia Mountain with almost lightning speed, Dayu was unable to resist and retreated step by step. This is the most difficult problem the emperor has encountered since he ascended the throne. He even had to take the initiative to seek peace from Xirong. In order to quell the war, even if the envoys of Xirong were aggressive, he could only endure it! But today, under such absolute weakness, Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai worked together to defeat their arrogance.

Thinking about it, after today, the peace talks should be able to proceed smoothly without being pressed every step of the way!

"There is also An Yihou..." When Guan Yubai was mentioned, the emperor's expression was still a bit complicated. It was difficult for Guan Yubai to still remember to provide advice to the court, but it was a pity that his body... If he could become an official, Xirong What's there to fear? The emperor let out a long sigh, composed himself, and continued: "The same goes for Marquis An Yi. This time I will give credit to all three of them!"

The queen smiled gently and agreed: "What the emperor said is that these children are all extremely outstanding. The sand table battle between Brother Yi, Yue Yatou and General Qibi really stunned all the ministers and concubines. Yes. Your Majesty, you must reward them well!"

"That's natural." The emperor nodded slightly, with a clear smile flashing in his eyes, and sighed, "It seems that Brother Yi has really grown up today and knows that he has shared my worries. In the past, there were still people who said calmly in front of me. Prince Nan likes to cause trouble, behaves eccentrically, is arrogant and domineering, etc. Those people should really let those people see how Brother Yi behaves today!"

The queen echoed and said: "These people just can't see that the emperor loves Brother Yi. It's normal for this boy to be naughty. Now that he has grown up, he will naturally become sensible."

"The queen is right." The emperor sighed, "In a blink of an eye, Brother Yi is now fifteen, and it's time to start a family..." After a pause, he continued, "Zhennan Wang Yuan In southern Xinjiang, he entrusted Brother Yi to me. I must carefully choose a marriage for Brother Yi. By the way, there is also Yue Yatou. Queen, you must also help and pay attention to her."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen smiled like a spring breeze blowing on her face and whispered softly, "I have an idea about Brother Yi's marriage, but I don't know if it is feasible?"

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, seeming to be aroused, "Queen, please come and let me hear it."

The queen smiled and said: "...Your Majesty, have you ever felt that Brother Yi and Yatou Yue are actually a good match? Today they both sang in harmony at the Fang Banquet and fooled the Xirong envoys. Qibi In the end, the general didn’t even know who he lost to, which was really satisfying.”

The emperor did not speak, but slightly closed his eyes, thoughtfully.

Although Guan Yu Bai Xian was in charge of today's Fang Yan Banquet, it would not have been easy to win without the cooperation of Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue. Thinking about it this way, these two children did have some tacit understanding.

Seeing that the emperor did not object immediately, the queen continued: "I, my concubine, this is a perfect marriage. Yue Yatou and Brother Yi have always been close to the emperor. If they get married, these two The couple will definitely be devoted to the emperor in the future. Besides, the Nangong family has poems and books passed down to the family. There have only been civil servants in the family and they have never held military power. Brother Yi will have a good reputation after marrying Yue Yatou. In Zhennan Palace The forces of China will not be of any help."

The emperor considered it and said: "What the queen said does make some sense."

The queen said with a smile: "I am not the only one who feels this way. Even my little aunt mentioned it to me last time when she came into the palace."

The emperor asked with interest: "How do you say it?"

"My little aunt said that you asked her to take care of Brother Yi's marriage, but she has been away from the capital for a long time and doesn't know much about those rich families, so she came over to inquire about it. We talked and talked about it. Yue Yatou, she is very satisfied with Yue Yatou, and said that Yue Yatou has been treating her old wounds from the battlefield recently." The queen paid attention to the emperor's expression, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "She also said that Brother Yi He is indeed a bit naughty and needs a dignified girl to control him."

"Hahaha."

The emperor laughed out loud and said, "My aunt is right. Brother Yi is just a little too naughty. He leads the gang of boys from the capital to fool around all day long, which makes me worry a lot. My aunt can understand. Tou, Brother Yi’s wife should be dignified and dignified in order to be able to control him."

The queen smiled and said as if gossiping: "My aunt also asked me not to tell the emperor yet. She still wants to inquire more and then ask for the emperor's order."

"My little aunt is just too upright." The emperor said gently, "However, Yue Yatou and Yi Ge'er... I haven't thought about them at all. Yue Yatou seems to be a little younger."

The queen smiled and said: "Isn't this just right."

The emperor was startled and immediately reacted. Indeed, if they get married later, Brother Yi can stay in the capital for a few more years and the relationship with them will become closer. Thinking about it this way, Yue Yatou is just the right age...

While they were talking, a young **** came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen, and Concubine Zhang are asking for an audience outside the palace."

The emperor casually ordered: "Let Concubine Zhang come in."

A sarcastic light flashed in the queen's eyes. Of course she knew what Concubine Zhang and her daughter were planning.

Want Princess Xiao Yishang to gain the support of King Zhennan in the battle for the right to inherit the throne?

If they get their way, she and her Xiao Wu will probably die without a burial place!

What's more, Brother Yi is a good boy, even Concubine Zhang's second princess is worthy of him!

The queen snorted coldly in her heart, but continued calmly on her face: "I am actually a little worried... The step-princess in the Zhennan Palace now is probably not a worry-free person, but is afraid of the Zhennan Prince. Under the instigation of the step princess, I will make a bad marriage for Brother Yi."

She sighed, "The affairs of the inner house should not be underestimated. If Brother Yi's wife is inappropriate and encourages Brother Yi to separate from the emperor all day long, then the gain will outweigh the losses. To take a step back, Xiao Fang has her own son. Presumably she hopes that her biological son can inherit the title. But we are not familiar with Xiao Fang’s son at all, and we don’t know what his temperament is. From now on... Brother Yi is so worry-free."

The emperor frowned slightly and thought for a moment. What the queen said did make sense.

Xiao Yi is close to him, but he has no impression of the other legitimate son of King Zhennan. How can he allow the position of King Zhennan to be handed over to others in the future?

Xiao Yi’s marriage must not be decided by King Zhennan.

Thinking about it this way, Yue Yatou is indeed a good match, but after all, the Nangong family was once an important minister of the previous dynasty, so he has to worry...

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and said: "Brother Yi and girl Yue..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, Concubine Zhang, who was wearing a pink palace dress, walked in from outside the palace. She came gracefully and saluted with graceful movements: "I see you, Your Majesty, the Queen."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, he raised his hand and said: "My beloved, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen." Concubine Zhang thanked her tenderly and sat down with a graceful attitude. She looked at the emperor with a pair of loving eyes, "I wonder why the emperor has come to recruit his concubine?" Although she said this, she was thinking about what she heard when she just walked into the palace. I haven't heard everything, but I can already deduce something. It seems that the emperor and the queen were discussing to match up Xiao Yi, the crown prince of Zhennan, and Nangong Yue, the lord of Yaoguang County.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhang felt nervous. It was obvious that Xiao Yi was attracted by her Haoxue first, but she couldn't let Nangong Yue take the lead. She had to think of a way to mess up this matter. .

However, the emperor's next words interrupted her thoughts, and she heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "My beloved concubine, I have already considered it and decided to let Haoxue go to Xirong to get married! As Haoxue's mother Concubine, when you go back, you should advise her carefully and put state affairs first."

Concubine Zhang's beauty turned pale. She stood up suddenly from her seat in shock, knelt heavily on the ground, and said sadly, "Your Majesty, please think twice... Your Majesty, Haoxue, Haoxue is only fourteen. But King Xirong is already fifty years old. Your Majesty, do you really have the heart to let our Haoxue marry someone who can be her grandfather?"

The emperor sighed and said reluctantly: "As a father, I naturally can't bear it, but I am the rich emperor, and I have to do this for the sake of the people of the world and the stability of the country. Haoxue Shen As my daughter, the princess of Dayu, she has enjoyed the most glorious wealth and honor in the world. Now it is time for her to relieve her father's worries and serve the country and the people."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Zhang looked at the Emperor with a melancholy expression and begged, "Your Majesty, please think again, there should be..."

Before she finished speaking, the emperor interrupted her with a stern face: "Okay, I have made up my mind on this matter. At that time, I will let Haoxue write in the name of the queen and marry with the honor of the legitimate princess. You go back." As he said that, he sighed, "I will formally issue the decree in a month, and you can spend time with Haoxue. Whatever she asks for, as long as it is not too outrageous, I will agree to it." After all, The emperor was full of guilt for asking his daughter to get married, so he could only compensate her in honor and material terms.

Concubine Zhang was stunned for a moment, then responded in a low voice: "Yes."

She bowed to the emperor and empress and returned to her Jingyang Palace in a daze.

After the maids were dismissed, Concubine Zhang was alone in the palace, walking back and forth in the palace, lying down on the beauty's couch, and sitting up again, with thousands of thoughts flashing through her mind...

Is her daughter...her only daughter really going to marry an old man?

That was the meat that fell from her body, how could she let it go! How could the emperor be so cruel!

"Your Majesty, the Second Princess is here."

In the midst of sorrow, the palace maid’s report came from outside, and then the second princess’s delicate voice came: “Mother Concubine!”

The second princess, wearing a scarlet dress, flew in front of Concubine Zhang like a butterfly. With a hint of shyness on her face, she said, "Concubine, have you asked my father for me? Xiao Yi, he , He..."

Concubine Zhang looked at the beautiful and delicate second princess and was hesitant to speak, and finally said with difficulty: "Haoxue, your father just called me to Fengluan Palace..." She frowned and couldn't bear to say Looking at the second princess, "... He said that he wants you to go to Xirong to get married. Your father also said that the decree will be officially issued in a month."

"Wha, what?" The second princess seemed to feel like a heavy hammer suddenly hit her head, causing her head to buzz.

She looked at Concubine Zhang in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "Concubine, what did you just say...a marriage?" She was shocked and frightened, and couldn't even speak. Concubine, are you joking with your daughter, right?" She looked at Concubine Zhang with a begging look on her face, and her eyes quickly filled with tears.

A hint of heartache flashed in Concubine Zhang's eyes. Her daughter, whom she had conceived in ten months and raised like a jewel, was the most noble princess of Dayu, but now she wanted to marry far away to Xirong. This was simply to cut out a piece of her heart.

But the emperor has already spoken. If he doesn't obey, he may offend Long Yan. It doesn't matter if she falls out of favor, but the third prince and the third prince will also be affected...

Concubine Zhang frowned and said with difficulty: "Haoxue, this is your father's will. No one can disobey the Holy Order."

One sentence made the second princess seem to have completely fallen into a bottomless abyss!

"No, no, concubine, this is not true. My daughter doesn't want to go and get married..." The second princess burst into tears and cried bitterly, "My daughter doesn't want it! Concubine, you have to help your daughter! You said But you will help your daughter."

"Haoxue..." Concubine Zhang also had tears in her eyes, and she was so soft-hearted that she wanted to agree, but immediately thought of the third prince, she still became cruel and said helplessly: "Haoxue, there is nothing I can do about it, Concubine." Yes, my mother-in-law has already begged your father, but your father...hey..." She sighed longly, "You also know that once your father makes a decision, it is difficult to change it. ."

"No, my daughter doesn't want it." The second princess begged Concubine Zhang, her eyes filled with tears of despair, "Concubine, please help your daughter find a way. My daughter must not get married."

"Haoxue, this matter is not something that the mother and concubine can decide, so just be more open-minded." She took out a brocade handkerchief heartbroken and gently wiped away the tears of the second princess.

The second princess pushed Concubine Zhang away and screamed uncontrollably: "I can't think about this." As she said this, she backed away, looked at Concubine Zhang with disappointment, then turned around and rushed out Jingyang Palace.

"Haoxue." Concubine Zhang shouted anxiously, got up and tried to catch up, but in the blink of an eye, the second princess had already ran out of Jingyang Palace.

Concubine Zhang sat helplessly on the beauty's couch, her pretty face losing its former look.

The second princess ran back to her Xuehe Palace crying bitterly, drove out the two personal maids, locked herself inside alone, and burst into tears.

The two palace maids were blocked from the door and looked at each other, but no one dared to disturb the second princess at will. They could only listen to the goings on in the room.

It started with crying.

What followed was the sound of things being swept away and hitting the ground.

Then there was the sound of heavy objects hitting again.

……

After a long time, it became quiet.

The silence is eerie.

I don’t know how long I have been here, but there was a sound of "ding" in the room. After a long period of silence, the sound seemed to be harsh. The palace maid guarding outside could not help but feel a thump in her heart, and she quickly knocked on the door. , shouted nervously: "Second Princess, Second Princess, please open the door quickly..."

I called several times but saw no movement.

The two palace maids were cruel and pushed the door open.

The scene that greeted them scared them almost to pieces. They saw a piece of white silk hanging on the beam. The second princess held the white silk with both hands and was lifting it up with her chin. At the same time, she kicked with both feet. The stool under his feet was kicked to the ground with a clang.

"Second Princess!"

The palace maid hurriedly rushed into the palace... With a "hiss" sound, the white silk suddenly broke, and the second princess fell from the air.

A palace maid hurriedly rushed over, groaned, and made a human flesh mat for the second princess.

The second princess screamed in pain, tried to get up from the ground, and shouted angrily: "Get out, everyone!"

The personal palace maid pulled her anxiously and shouted: "Your Highness, if there is something that cannot be solved, you have to think about it like this!" No matter what the second princess said, she did not dare to let go. The palace maid whom she used as a meat pad reluctantly got up, ran outside to call more palace maids and attendants, and quickly ordered someone to inform Concubine Zhang.

Not long after, Concubine Zhang hurried over with a pale face. Her hair was messy and she was dripping with sweat.

Concubine Zhang rushed to the second princess, hugged her, and shouted in fear: "Haoxue!"

As soon as the second princess heard Concubine Zhang's voice, she turned her head and cried: "Concubine, what are you doing here? Just let me die."

"Why die, live!" Concubine Zhang said in a loud voice, "Things have reached the point where death is inevitable!" After the training, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but hugged the second princess and cried bitterly, "Hao Xue, why can’t you think about it so hard! Even if you don’t want to think about yourself, you should think about how sad your mother-in-law would be if you were gone! She only has you two siblings..."

"Concubine, don't you want me?" The second princess was still sobbing, "You know clearly that my heart is with Xiao Yi, but you insist on me going to get married, so what's the difference between that and letting me die? Separately."

"Haoxue, if you say this, aren't you going to hurt my mother-in-law? How could my mother-in-law not want you? There's nothing I can do about it!" Concubine Zhang picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugging her She said, "...Mother-in-law promises you that she will definitely find a way to make your father change his mind."

The second princess's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked: "What about Xiao Yi?"

Concubine Zhang said helplessly: "Haoxue, Prince Zhennan... you'd better give up on this idea." She hesitated for a moment, then said, "According to the emperor and the queen, they plan to shake the Princess Guang is betrothed to the prince of Zhennan... It is already very difficult for your mother and concubine to want your father to change his mind and prevent you from getting married. If you want to get this marriage as you wish, I am afraid it will be impossible. ”

Princess Yaoguang! ? The second princess was startled. That Princess Yaoguang, Nangong Yue, who had humiliated her several times? !

At the Fang Banquet, she saw that **** Nangong Yue had been pestering A Yi, and her father actually wanted to grant them a marriage!

How is this possible!

The second princess showed resentment, pulled Concubine Zhang's sleeve, and said bitterly: "Concubine, there is nothing impossible! Just let Nangong Yue go and get married. Anyway, haven't all dynasties had clan daughters, Is the minister's daughter the one who can marry on behalf of the princess? After all, Nangong Yue is also a first-class princess. If she marries to Xirong, she is considered worthy of Xirong!"

"This..." Concubine Zhang was thoughtful. After thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible to let Princess Yaoguang Nangong Yue marry her on her behalf. And it’s still a good idea!

Once Nangong Yue goes to get married, her daughter Haoxue will not only be able to stay in Dayu, but also marry Xiao Yi, the eldest son of Prince Zhennan.

Nangong Yue has a close relationship with the Queen and has excellent medical skills. Ever since the girl and the Queen got on the line, the fifth prince's health has improved a lot. In the long run, he may be able to fully recover. The third prince who is interested in her Quite disadvantageous.

Once Nangong Yue is gone, can the fifth prince still be so lucky to live?

"Haoxue, you are right..." Concubine Zhang put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Concubine I promise you that I will plan well for you..."

"Well..."

The second princess nodded vigorously and buried her head on Concubine Zhang's body.

She knew that the mother-in-law would definitely feel sorry for her, and it was not in vain that she acted in this drama.

……

Nangong Yue didn't know that Concubine Zhang and her daughter had their own ideas at this moment. She was in Nangong Mu's small study, explaining the Fang Banquet to him and her uncle Nangong Qin. Nangong Yue used the same rhetoric, only saying that Guan Baiyu borrowed her hand to do it.

Both of them were frightened by her, and they repeatedly told her not to be so reckless next time, and then they asked her to step back.

Nangong Yue saluted and left, while the two men looked at each other in the study and smiled bitterly. They did not expect that Nangong Yue was so bold and dared to challenge the general of Xirong with only a piece of advice. Nangong Mu was even more worried, thinking: Now her daughter's reputation as "tough" will definitely spread. Will anyone dare to ask for marriage in the future?

Nangong Yue didn't care about what her father was worrying about. On the contrary, she slept very well that night.

Early the next morning, when she went to Rong'an Hall to pay her respects, the reward from the palace also arrived.

These rewards are all given to Nangong Yue and Bai Muxiao to commend them for their outstanding performance at the Fangyan Festival. There are a total of twenty gifts, including silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings... none of them. No, it takes up most of the yard. A large part of it was given to Nangong Yue, and only three to five were given to Bai Muxiao, but even this was enough to make everyone look at this cousin girl with admiration.

After receiving the order, everyone dispersed. Bai Muxiao and Nangong Yun returned to Yueguiyuan with more than a dozen boxes of rewards.

Nangong Yun was smiling from ear to ear along the way. She was probably the happiest person today, thinking to herself: His daughter is indeed the best. As long as you get a chance, you can go straight to the top!

Nangong Yun pulled Bai Muxiao and sat on the beauty's couch with a smile on her face, feeling that her daughter was the best no matter how she looked.

Bai Muxiao smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Mom, my daughter has said before that we will live better and better after leaving the Bai Mansion. Sooner or later, my daughter will earn back half of your dowry for you. ." With these rewards from the emperor, even if she has a firm foothold in Nangong Mansion, the servants in the mansion will probably never dare to neglect the mother and daughter again.

Nangong Yun nodded repeatedly, suddenly thinking of something, and said: "Sister Xiao, yesterday you cooperated with the third prince to show your talents at the Fang Banquet, and now you have received a reward from the emperor, do you think the emperor will treat you Betrothed to the third prince?" Nangong Yun thought happily, it would be great if her daughter could marry the third prince, she would wake up from her dream with a smile.

When that time comes, she will make Baifu spit out everything he ate from her!

Unexpectedly, Bai Muxiao shook his head and said sternly: "Mother, although my mother and I are temporarily staying in Nangong Mansion, our surname is not Nangong after all, but Bai. The Bai family are just civilians now. With me, It is impossible for me to marry a prince as a concubine because of my status. I will never be a concubine!"

Nangong Yun said hesitantly: "Sister Xiao, if she is a concubine, she is not an ordinary concubine."

Bai Muxiao raised her lips slightly in disdain, "No matter how noble you are, she is just a concubine." She said loudly, "Mom, I will never serve a husband with anyone, let alone be a concubine with someone else."

Nangong Yun looked at Bai Muxiao in surprise. Seeing her daughter's resolute expression, her eyes were hot and her heart was filled with self-blame: Sister Xiao must have such thoughts because of the problems she and her father brought to her. The impact of...

Nangong Yun felt guilty and distressed for a moment, and said: "Sister Xiao, don't think too much, not everyone in this world is like your father..." There are many concubines like that. , keeping an extramarital wife, and even competing with others in a brothel... making her days feel like years!

"Mom, don't be sad." Bai Muxiao quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, I will live a good life. Better than everyone else!"

Nangong Yun wiped away her tears and nodded: "Okay, my sister Xiao will definitely live a better life than anyone else." Her daughter has been rewarded and favored by the emperor. Although she is a bit inferior in status, she must choose a good family. Honey, it should be much easier than before. Thinking about it this way, Nangong Yun became a lot more optimistic, feeling that his daughter's future would be bright.

Seeing that Nangong Yun was in a better mood, Bai Muxiao talked about the rewards: "Mom, I want to choose some of today's gifts from the emperor to give to my grandmother, aunts, eldest cousins, and others. Cousins...Mother, please see if there are any you like and keep them first."

Nangong Yun nodded happily and said, "You should pick some for your grandmother and aunt, but not for your mother. If you have good ones, keep them for yourself, and you can marry them to your husband's family in the future. They will also be good-looking things."

Probably only mother can plan for herself wholeheartedly! Bai Muxiao snuggled into Nangong Yun's arms affectionately.

The two mothers and daughters talked about themselves again, and Bai Muxiao personally selected some beads and flowers for several cousins ​​​​and Liu Qingqing, and also selected fabrics for several elders of Nangong Mansion.

Su's fabrics were delivered by Nangong Yun himself, while Bai Muxiao was responsible for several aunts and cousins.

However, when Bai Muxiao came to Qianyunyuan with her maid and a piece of primrose-colored floral brocade, she was told that Lin was meeting guests, so she could only hand the brocade to Lin's eldest maid , said goodbye and left.

Ms. Lin in the main room didn't know that Bai Muxiao had just arrived. At this time, she was entertaining Mr. Qian's wife, Mrs. Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Mrs. Lin had no friendship with Mrs. Zhong, and she was also surprised by Mrs. Zhong's sudden visit.

After the two exchanged a few words, Mrs. Zhong turned to the topic and said: "Second Madam, I wonder if the eldest girl in the house is engaged?"

Nangong Cheng’s marriage was supposed to be discussed with the eldest lady Zhao, but since Lin took charge of the wedding ceremony, Nangong Mansion announced that Zhao was “unable to fall ill”, so Zhong had no choice but to approach Lin. .

Mrs. Lin was stunned, and then she suddenly realized that Mrs. Zhong was here to test the man's secrets. Mrs. Lin's face straightened, she shook her head and said, "Mrs. Qian, this... I have never heard my uncle or sister-in-law mention it."

Ms. Zhong smiled affectionately and said, "It would be great if not. I wonder if the Second Madam has ever heard of Prince Pei of the Jian'an family?"

Lin's eyes lit up. She had a daughter herself, so she knew how to inquire about promising young men in the capital.

The eldest son of the Jianbo Mansion was named Pei Yuanchen, and he was both a martial arts scholar and a civil scholar. Lin had naturally heard of such a young man who was talented in both civil and military affairs. More importantly, the back house of Jian'an Bo Mansion was quiet, and there was an ancestral precept that a man should only take a concubine when he was forty and had no children. It could be said that he was one of the best candidates for a son-in-law in the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital.

Seeing Madam Lin nodding, Madam Zhong said with a smile: "Today I was entrusted by Madam Jian'anbo to come here specifically to say goodbye to Prince Pei and Miss Nangong."

Prince Jian'an Bo, this is a good match. Mrs. Lin looked moved, but she still said politely: "Mrs. Zhong, I have to ask my uncle and sister-in-law about this..."

Ms. Zhong nodded knowingly: "I understand, Second Madam, why not do this, I will come to visit you again tomorrow."

The two said a few more words, and Mrs. Zhong stood up to leave.

After seeing Mrs. Zhong off, Mrs. Lin didn't even bother to rest, so she hurried to Rong'an Hall and told Mrs. Su exactly what Mrs. Qian's purpose was.

Hearing that he was the eldest son of Jian'an Bo Mansion, Su's face showed a hint of joy, but she did not immediately express her position. After all, Nangong Cheng’s marriage should still be decided by her parents, especially with the eldest son’s stubborn temper. If the eldest son doesn’t want to, I’m afraid it won’t work...

Ms. Su pondered for a moment and ordered to invite the eldest master, Nangong Qin.

After hearing this, Nangong Qin was indeed a little satisfied. He nodded and said: "Prince Pei is both civil and military. He is smart and agile. He holds the position of General Zuo Lang of the Royal Forest Army. He can be regarded as a close minister of the emperor. Even the emperor praised him for his ability. He is talented in literature and martial arts, and has a bright future. This is indeed a good marriage."

Seeing that even Nangong Qin agreed, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mrs. Su, "Mother, when Mrs. Qian comes tomorrow, can we make a date to see you?" Although Prince Pei sounded different from all aspects. All are good, but you have to see it in person before you feel confident.

Ms. Su nodded: "Second daughter-in-law, I'll let you make the arrangements."

"Yes, Mother." Mrs. Lin responded with a smile, and then asked a little hesitantly, "Mother, uncle, do you want to ask your sister-in-law about this matter before making a decision?" Mrs. Zhao is Nangong Cheng's biological mother after all. , saying nothing to her is always unreasonable.

"No need." Nangong Qin looked indifferent, "Now your sister-in-law devotes herself to Buddhism and ignores worldly affairs. Just let the second younger brother and sister make the decision."

"That's fine." Now that Nangong Qin had made the decision, Su said no more. Anyway, as long as this great marriage can happen, it doesn't matter who makes the decision.

"Then I'll spare the trouble for my second brother and sister." Nangong Qin's usually serious face revealed a rare smile.

"Uncle, why do you need to be so polite?" Mrs. Lin responded gently, but felt bitter in her heart: This important matter of marriage is related to a woman's life and is not a trivial matter! But the way my sister-in-law looks now... Thinking of Zhao's dull and dull appearance now, Mrs. Lin sighed in her heart and could only worry more.

After leaving Rongan Hall, Mrs. Lin thought over and over again: Although this marriage was ordered by her parents, one should judge others with oneself. If it was Sister Yue's marriage, she would definitely hope that her daughter would be willing to do so. The same goes for my sister.

But after all, I and Sister Cheng are separated by a room, and we are not particularly close on weekdays...

After much thought, Lin found Liu Qingqing and went to Wanqingyuan in Nangongcheng together.

Although Nangong Cheng was a little surprised to see Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Liu coming together, he still smiled and came forward to greet her, and then welcomed her into the house.

When the maid finished serving the tea, Mrs. Lin got straight to the point: "Sister Cheng, your sister-in-law and I came here this time because we actually have something to tell you..." Then, Ms. Lin left the official to the left. The Vice Minister's wife told Nangong Cheng about the marriage proposal, and also explained all the benefits of building the Anbo Mansion and building the Prince of Anbo.

"This is related to your life..." Mrs. Lin said carefully while considering Nangong Cheng's expression, "Although your grandmother and your father both think this marriage is good, I still think it is best. I can listen to your opinion."

Nangong Cheng felt a thunderclap ringing in her ears, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Sister Cheng, are you okay?" Mrs. Lin looked at Nangong Cheng with a little worry.

"I, I'm fine..." Nangong Cheng's voice was like a mosquito groan, and he wrung his bare hands, seemingly at a loss, "It's just too unexpected."

"Sister Cheng, don't worry." Mrs. Lin comforted her softly, "This matter has not been settled yet. It's just that the other party intends to come to propose marriage. Your grandmother and father both think it's good, so they thought about it first. Take a look, if you feel bad, your family won’t force you."

Nangong Qing lowered her head and said nothing, feeling confused.

When Lin saw that Nangong Cheng was silent, she didn't take it seriously. Girls are always thin-skinned about this kind of thing and are embarrassed to say it out loud.

Mrs. Lin said again: "Sister Cheng, if you don't object, then we will make an appointment with Jian'an Bo Mansion, and you should take a good look at Prince Pei."

Nangong Cheng lowered her head even lower, unable to see her expression and eyes. It took a long time before she managed to say one sentence: "Let the second aunt decide everything."

Ms. Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you know when the time is set."

Liu Qingqing also comforted her softly, "Sister Cheng, you don't have to be afraid. We will choose a suitable place to see each other when the time comes, just like we usually go out for fun."

Nangong Cheng said softly "Hmm".

Ms. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Nangong Cheng: "Then let's make this decision for now. Sister Cheng, if you have any thoughts in your heart, don't be shy, just tell me or your sister-in-law."

"Cheng'er understands." Nangong Cheng said in a low voice.

"Then let's leave first." Lin and Liu Qingqing stood up.

Nangong Cheng was startled and hurriedly stood up to see him off.

After seeing off Mrs. Lin and Liu Qingqing, Nangong Cheng returned to the room without leaving her soul. She sat on the Arhat bed and thought about her words blankly, as if she had lost her soul.

But Shuxiang and Moxiang on the side became more and more happy as they thought about it. Shuxiang smiled happily and said, "Congratulations to the girl!"

"Really?" Nangong Cheng responded absently.

Although she didn't know much about Prince Pei of Jian'an Bo Mansion, according to the second aunt, Prince Pei was extremely outstanding even among the noble sons of the royal capital. She also believed that her second aunt would not lie to her.

Being able to marry such a wishful man was probably the dream of thousands of girls in the capital who were waiting to be married, but Nangong Cheng didn't feel any joy at all. Instead, she felt inexplicably depressed and anxious.

It seems like something important has been poached away!

She felt as if a big hole was missing in her heart. Her heart was so stuffy that she could hardly breathe, and her eyes were sore!

"It would be really great if this marriage can happen." Mo Xiang did not notice anything wrong with Nangong Cheng at all, but was very happy for her girl, "That girl will be the prince's wife in the future, and the uncle in the future." Madam."

"Yes, yes." Shuxiang nodded happily.

What kind of prince’s wife, uncle’s wife! She didn't care at all. Nangong Cheng remained silent and twisted her bare hands even more fiercely.

She just wants to be with the person she likes!

People you like! ?

Like a sudden bolt of lightning, Nangong Cheng was shocked and stunned. A majestic man could not help but appear in front of his eyes, holding a peony silk flower, slowly walking towards him...

His Royal Highness King Cheng!

Nangong Cheng bit her lower lip, grabbed the fabric on her chest fiercely, and said to herself, don’t have delusions, it’s impossible!

Since ancient times, it has been the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can she be allowed to make the decision on her own marriage! It is absolutely impossible for her to be with him!

Resign yourself to your fate! Nangong Cheng tried hard to convince herself that her family was already very good and had found her such a well-matched match. Her second aunt and sister-in-law even asked her for her opinion in person, and even promised not to force herself... This was already the home of many girls. You can’t even ask for it!

Everything looked and sounded good, but why did her heart still feel enveloped in a deep sadness...

Finally she couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart, so she leaned on the couch and cried, her cries dull and depressing.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Mo Xiang approached Nangong Cheng and looked at her nervously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Girl, girl..." Shuxiang was also anxious, "Do you want to call a doctor?" He said and wanted to go out in a panic.

"Shu Xiang, come back soon." Nangong Cheng said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, I just don't feel... at ease. Just cry."

Not feeling at ease? The two maids looked at each other. Could it be that the girl was afraid of getting married?

Shu Xiang looked at Nangong Cheng carefully, hesitated and said: "Girl, don't worry, everything is decided by the old lady, the master and his wife..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything." Nangong Cheng looked gloomy and pretended to be nonchalant, "I'm just a little flustered." She secretly clenched her fists.

That's it, just bury it all in your heart!

"You don't need to say too much to anyone about what you just did." Nangong Qing ordered lightly, picked up the half-embroidered embroidery stretcher on the side, and started embroidering again...

Her mind was already flying to the sky, and she pricked her finger three times in just one cup of tea, which made all the maids feel heartbroken.

Shu Xiang and Mo Xiang looked at Nangong Cheng with worried faces and looked at each other, always feeling that something was wrong with the girl.
