The Favoured Medical Princess: 188 Sacrifice to Heaven

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

“I’ve seen my mother-in-law!”

In Jingyang Palace, the third prince Han Lingfu respectfully saluted Concubine Zhang who was sitting on the arhat bed with hollow carved patterns on the screen.

Concubine Zhang lazily raised her hand and waved away the maids in the palace, then said: "Your Majesty, sit down."

Han Lingfu and Concubine Zhang sat across the table, hesitated for a moment, and finally said with difficulty: "The mother concubine asked the son to come over, but because of the incident where the son was scolded by the father yesterday?"

Concubine Zhang’s charming red phoenix eyes were slightly raised and she asked: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

A hint of anger flashed in Han Lingfu's eyebrows, and he said: "Yesterday, I received a secret letter from the envoy of Xirong, asking me to go to Zangchun Tower to have a talk. Who would have thought that after arriving at Zangchun Tower, the two Xirong people ignored him? To say the least, he never said a word of truth, he is so cunning! Not long after I sat down, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division suddenly came..." He explained in a clear and logical manner what happened at Zangchun Tower and the other side of the city last night. I told Concubine Zhang everything about the imperial study.

Finally, he sighed helplessly: "At last, Xiao Yi did not tell his father that my son was meeting with the envoy from Xirong, otherwise he would not only be fined to copy books..."

"Don't you think this is too coincidental?" Concubine Zhang frowned and said thoughtfully, "There are so many brothels in the capital, why did Xiao Yi choose that one when searching for the remnants of the previous dynasty? Went to Zangchun Tower. My prince, do you think Xiao Yi colluded with the Xirong envoy to deliberately lure you to Zangchun Tower in order to frame you?"

"Isn't it possible?" The third prince was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently, "If Xiao Yi has such a powerful city and such skills, does the mother and concubine think that the father will still trust him so much?"

If the people who understand the emperor's thoughts best are probably the princes who are about to reach adulthood, the emperor wants to use them, but he is afraid that their abilities are too strong and they will take away the emperor's rights or even seize them. Take the throne.

The threat of King Zhennan to the emperor is not weaker than that of the prince. The two hundred thousand Zhennan troops are registered with the imperial court. However, King Zhennan is the emperor of southern Xinjiang. Who knows how many private soldiers he has raised? One day, the King of Zhennan will support his troops and stand on his own feet, and even the imperial court may be unable to do anything about it. In this world, when it comes to the people that the emperor is most afraid of, King Zhennan and the future King of Zhennan are definitely at the top.

Concubine Zhang pursed her red lips slightly and admitted that what her son said did make sense. After the prince of Zhennan arrived in the royal capital, he did not do anything serious except hanging out with a group of dandy boys, playing with cats and walking dogs. That is to say, you were lucky on the day of the palace change and got a rescue.

Han Lingfu and Concubine Zhang exchanged a look and both thought of the same place.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "Now my father is very fond of Xiao Yi, and the eldest and second emperor brothers are fighting for Xiao Yi's support. If we break up with Xiao Yi now, it will definitely be harmful but not beneficial. . Xiao Yi should just be warning me this time, otherwise there is no need to let him off so lightly." After all, it would be a big mistake for me to secretly meet with the Xirong envoy. Once he gets to his father, not only will he be exposed to the big The opportunity for the emperor's brother and the second emperor's brother to add insult to injury, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable. No one can guarantee whether the emperor will completely abandon him because of this matter.

Now that the mother-in-law has been demoted from a first-grade imperial concubine to a second-grade imperial concubine, if she continues to displease her father, then the supreme position may really be out of reach for her!

Although he is still unwilling to do so, after weighing the pros and cons, he still has to try to get Xiao Yi to be on his side!

King Zhennan, who can ignore the huge interests that the future King Zhennan can represent!

Thinking in his mind, Han Lingfu narrowed his eyes, made up his mind, and said to Concubine Zhang: "Concubine, since Xiao Yi has taken a liking to Princess Yaoguang, you and the Second Princess should stop. "Speaking of Nangong Yue, a complicated light flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes. He once had some interest in Princess Yaoguang. He felt that with the emperor and queen's favor for her, as well as the Nangong family's appeal among scholars, If he marries her as his concubine, there will definitely be great benefits. Letting Nangong Yue go and get married was really a forced compromise for the second princess and Xiao Yi's marriage... It seemed that now, he really had no choice but to give up on Nangong Yue.

"But your Second Imperial Sister..." Concubine Zhang frowned lightly, still a little confused.

"Concubine, you should persuade the Second Imperial Sister to give up!" Han Lingfu decisively interrupted Concubine Zhang, "In short, I will find a way to get married and will not let the Second Imperial Sister marry Xirong." It is true that many dynasties in the past dynasties have given the title of princesses to the daughters of clan members and ministers for marriage and marriage, but Princess Yaoguang is not the only one who has this distinguished noble daughter!

As he spoke, his face condensed and he said cautiously: "Mother, you must advise the Second Emperor Sister not to have any illegal thoughts. If the personal affairs of the children hinder the grand plans of the children... That’s really a penny gain!”

When Concubine Zhang heard that it would affect the third prince's path to the throne, Concubine Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "Prince, don't worry, your second emperor sister will be persuaded by her mother."

Han Lingfu breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Mother, in fact, if the second emperor's sister really has a deep love for Xiao Yi and wants to marry Xiao Yi, it is not completely impossible for her to have a chance. Empress E's female heroes have existed since ancient times. My father may not agree. The most important thing now is to resolve the marriage difficulties first, and we can slowly plan the rest."

Zhang Feifeng raised her eyes and looked at Han Lingfu with a half-smile. She, the prince, actually used this method of beating her with a stick and giving her a piece of candy on her royal sister! But Huang Er is right, at this critical moment, we still have to take the overall situation into consideration! There is not only one man in the world, Xiao Yi!

Seeing that Concubine Zhang knew what she was thinking, Han Lingfu stood up and said with confidence: "Concubine, the day after tomorrow is the day of worshiping heaven. I still need to fast and bathe in these two days, so I will leave first!"

Concubine Zhang waved her hand casually, "You can go ahead." As for her, she still had to think carefully about how to appease Haoxue...

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day for the emperor to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Nangong Sheng is already married, so in Nangong Mansion, only Nangong Qin, Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue are on the list to accompany him to worship heaven.

The sacrifice to the heaven is held around 4:00 in the morning, but the royal garden is still some distance away from the capital, so everyone in the Nangong Mansion got up early before dawn, and their cars arrived at the palace gate first with the cars of the officials. At the meeting, at this time, the sky just turned white.

It wasn't until the auspicious time for Qin Tian's calculations came that everyone followed the imperial chariot to the royal garden on the eastern outskirts of the royal capital.

An hour later, the carriage finally stopped, and the sound of silk and bamboo music came from outside the carriage, solemn and majestic.

After a while, Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng were helped out of the Zhulun Car by their respective maids. At this time, it was already dawn, and the sky was filled with continuous white clouds, which blocked the early sun, and the weather was slightly gloomy.

Nangong Yue raised her eyes and looked at the sky, feeling that her mood at the moment was just like the weather today, gloomy and slightly irritable. In one day, it will be the date she and Xiao Yi agreed on, but until now, she hasn't made up her mind yet.

For a moment, a childish thought appeared in her mind, it would be great if time stopped completely at this moment...

The hustle and bustle outside quickly attracted her attention. She saw that the entrance to the royal garden was already crowded with people. Every few steps nearby, there was a guard wearing armor. They all had swords at their waists. Each of these guard soldiers They all had cold faces and solemn faces, exuding an aura that would keep others away.

The carriages of hundreds of officials formed a long queue with no end in sight, which was extremely spectacular. The officials and their legitimate children got off the bus one by one according to their rank. As a princess of the first rank, Nangong Yue's Zhulun chariot was not too far behind in the queue. Looking from a distance, she could still see the emperor and the empress walking towards the garden surrounded by hundreds of officials. The two bright lights The yellow figure is particularly eye-catching.

After the civil and military officials, there are the children of those officials. Because men are superior to women, men walk in the front and women line up behind.

Under the guidance of the palace maids, the ladies entered the royal garden one by one. This royal garden covers an area of ​​more than 4,000 acres and is so vast that the edges cannot be seen at a glance. It is mainly divided into two parts: Wanquan Mountain and Dongming Lake. Once entering the garden, You can see small bridges and flowing water, and numerous mountains and rocks. Countless pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, corridors, and pavilions have been built among them.

After walking for a while, Nangong Yue felt countless eyes from all around her falling on her. The feeling of being spied on became stronger and stronger. Two girls even whispered behind her:

"That's the girl from Nangong Mansion."

"Nangong Mansion? Is it the Nangong Mansion that gave birth to Princess Yaoguang?"

"Of course it's Nangong Mansion!"

"..."

Nangong Yue frowned slightly and looked around, not knowing which girl from the house was really unruly.

"I heard that the Nangong Mansion actually wanted to get married to the Jian'an Bo Mansion. Even though the Jian'an Bo Mansion had already rejected the marriage, the Nangong Mansion still shamelessly spread rumors in the capital to try to force the marriage!" The girl's tone revealed this. Deep malice.

Nangong Yue's cold eyes were fixed on a girl in a yellow shirt. It turned out to be an old face, Zhang Yucheng. She was Princess Mingyue's little follower. Unexpectedly, Princess Mingyue still refuses to give up until now!

Zhang Yusheng shrank subconsciously when he saw it, but immediately stared back with a strong but dry look.

A pink-shirted girl next to her glanced at Nangong Cheng with a half-smile, and said sarcastically: "I don't understand how some people have the nerve to attend such a solemn ceremony after something like this happened. "She sighed deliberately and said, "Some people are just thick-skinned than the city walls. With her status, she actually wants to marry Prince Pei."

The blood on Nangong Cheng's face faded completely, and her delicate body was trembling slightly, but she still held on. Didn't she already know that she might suffer such humiliation when she came here? Why should she care about these irrelevant people.

Yesterday, the second aunt came to see her and advised her to get sick, but she still came because only here could she see him... She lowered her head, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

Nangong Cheng lowered her head, completely unaware that King Cheng in front of her was looking at her with affectionate eyes. However, Nangong Yue beside her noticed that when the other party's eyes met Nangong Yue's, At that moment, he seemed to hesitate a little, but in the end he turned away his eyes and continued walking forward with the people next to him as if nothing had happened...

Nangong Yue frowned slightly. She originally thought that Prince Cheng was interested in her eldest sister, but she didn't expect that it was nothing more than that!

If it were Xiao Yi...

Nangong Yue unconsciously curled her lips slightly, a flash of light flashing in her eyes.

If it is Xiao Yi, no matter what happens, even if he is despised and despised by thousands of people, even if he wants to be the enemy of the world, he will definitely stand on his side and will never let himself face it alone. Any difficulty, even the slightest bit unbearable.

Nangong Yue's gaze paused on Nangong Cheng's gloomy eyes, and suddenly said coldly to Zhang Yusheng and the girl in pink beside her: "When will Nangong Mansion marry Jian'an Bo Mansion? This county How come the Lord doesn’t know about this? Where did you hear about it?”

"Do you still need to inquire about this? The news has spread all over the capital." Zhang Yusheng said disdainfully, "I heard that the Second Lady of Nangong even went to the uncle's house in person, but was driven back!" Then she quickly glanced in a certain direction, the familiar red emerald beaded hibiscus beaded flower was so delicate and beautiful...

"Sages say, do not see what is inappropriate and do not listen to what is inappropriate." Nangong Yue shook her head pitifully and advised, "Miss Zhang, although you are not a man and have not received the teachings of the saint, you should also read "Women" carefully. "Commandment" is the answer, especially women's words, otherwise in the future...hey!"

Don't talk nonsense and be overbearing. Choose your words and stop at the right time. This is a woman's speech.

This "talking too much" is one of the seven causes.

Why did Zhang Yucheng not understand? She was so angry that she almost went crazy. She pointed at Nangong Yue and said tremblingly: "You...you actually cursed me to be able to...know..." But she could no longer say the next words. Before she even left the court, she was actually cursed that she would be divorced in the future.

She stamped her feet and said bitterly: "If you Nangong Mansion can do it, are you still afraid of what others will say!"

"You are a girl who talks about marriage affairs. You are embarrassed to say it, but I am embarrassed to listen to it." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth, "The saints say the same thing, what others say, and what others say. Others say the same thing. Believe whatever you say, Miss Zhang, what will happen to you in the future?" As she spoke, she showed deep compassion, and some girls around her also felt deeply after seeing it, not to mention whether Nangong Mansion was If she really wants to get married to the Jian'an Bo Mansion, this Miss Zhang is obviously brainless. She should remind her mother in the future that if she marries into the Mansion, she will make her family angry to death!

Nangong Yue looked at the bright sky, with a solemn expression, calm and composed, and said openly: "Today is the day for His Majesty to offer sacrifices to heaven. The gods in the sky are watching. Right and wrong, everyone has their own opinions." After that, no more. After taking another look at the crowd, he took Nangong Cheng's hand and walked forward, which attracted many admiring looks.

Yes, today’s sacrifice to heaven is being watched by all the gods in the sky, and Princess Yaoguang is so magnanimous, it seems that Nangong Mansion really has a clear conscience.

For a while, many good-looking eyes looked at Prince Jian'an in front of him. People who were acquainted with him had already considered that they would go to Jian'an's mansion to test it out after the sacrifice to heaven. It seems that they have been there again in the past two days. There are more topics to talk about after dinner.

Prince Jian'an quickly glanced in the direction of Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes. After a pause, he immediately walked forward.

On the other side, Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng walked forward quickly. When the crowd thinned out, they slowed down a little.

"Third sister, thank you so much." Nangong Cheng looked at Nangong Yue gratefully and thanked her in a low voice.

Nangong Yue turned to look at Nangong Cheng's beautiful face and said warmly: "Eldest sister, there is no need to be so polite. Sisters in the family do not need to be so polite."

Nangong Cheng pursed her lips and smiled at Nangong Yue, feeling wet in her eyes. She took a deep breath to calm down.

The two of them followed the flow of people and walked towards the altar of sacrifice to heaven. Gradually, the high altar appeared in front of them. The surroundings became quieter and quieter. No one dared to speak casually anymore.

At this time, everyone no longer had the intention to enjoy the scenery. Everyone looked solemn and moved forward slowly, for fear of taking a wrong step and provoking the emperor's wrath.

The Temple of Worship is located in the center of the royal garden, surrounded by ancient pines and carved jade railings.

The emperor and the queen were stepping on the long jade stairs, walking towards the high sacrificial platform. The bright yellow figures formed a sharp contrast with the jade ladder, and under the sunlight It looks so dazzling and dazzling, as if a heavenly being has descended upon it. Just looking at it makes people awe-inspiring.

The emperor and the empress finally stepped onto the middle platform of the Tian Sacrifice Platform. At this time, under the Tian Sacrifice Platform, all the civil and military officials and their legitimate children had also arrived. They knelt down layer by layer like ocean waves and said in unison: "See Long live the emperor, long live the queen, and the queen may live a thousand years.”

For a time, all the officials bowed their heads and knelt down with respectful expressions, and the atmosphere became even more solemn and dignified.

"Pingshen!" The emperor gave the order, and all the people stood up.

When Si Tianjian saw that the auspicious time had come, he whispered to Eunuch Liu. After Eunuch Liu asked the emperor for instructions, he loudly shouted: "Your Majesty, please come to the altar and pray for the people."

The emperor and the empress each took three huge sticks of incense from the servants, held the three sticks, climbed to the highest point of the altar, knelt down in front of the tablet of the Emperor of Heaven, offered incense, and then returned. In the middle level, a grand ceremony of three kneels and nine kowtows was performed, followed by offerings of jade, silk, and wine, followed by a long list of gorgeous and profound blessings, and finally, they were respectfully thrown into the brazier to offer sacrifices to God.

Under the sacrificial platform, the ministers accompanying the sacrifice and their legitimate children stood on the spot, knelt down and kowtowed to the rhythm of the emperor and empress taking three steps and one kowtow. In this way, more than an hour has passed.

But the sacrifice to heaven is not over yet. Next, the emperor, empress, ministers and even everyone present must kneel down and wait for God to reveal something. Only then will God hear their prayers and will continue to bless the people of Dayu!

Everyone was kneeling on the ground quietly and waiting. This time is the most difficult, because we don’t know when God will give us revelations from the sky. Apart from waiting, there is only waiting...

Time passed like this little by little, but the sky never changed at all, and the one who was most worried at this time was probably Si Tianjian. If the celestial phenomena remained unchanged, then today's sacrifice to the sky would become a joke. . Si Tianjian was already sweating profusely from anxiety, but more than an hour later, the sky remained the same as before.

Nangong Yue was already kneeling so hard that her legs were numb, as if they were no longer her own, and her back was even more soaked with sweat.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a girl in a blue shirt on the left front soften her body and fainted. The people around him naturally noticed it, and the defenses of several girls were instantly defeated. Two more girls also had their vision blackened and fainted on the ground.

In normal times, this would have caused a commotion, but at this moment, no one moved, and everyone was still kneeling on the ground motionless. The surrounding palace maids, chamberlains, maids and others did not dare to come up to help. It would be a capital offense to disturb the sacrifice to heaven!

Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Cheng, who was kneeling on her right, and was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to support her. She often exercised on horseback, and her body bones were much stronger than Nangong Cheng's.

Nangong Cheng's pretty face turned pale as expected, and her delicate body began to tremble slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and held on. She weakly curled her lips at Nangong Yue, meaning that she was okay.

When Nangong Yue turned back, her eyes met Xiao Yi in the front right. He was separated from her by a row and about ten people, at least ten feet away. But even so, the two of them were surrounded by each other. When their eyes met, Nangong Yue could still clearly see the deep worry in Xiao Yi's eyes, and her heart warmed, and a smile appeared on her face.

She nodded slightly to him, indicating that she was fine.

At this moment, a cool wind blew on her cheek, and immediately after, a chamberlain shouted in a high voice: "The clouds have dispersed, and God has heard it!"

Everyone looked up and saw that the originally white cloudy sky actually revealed a lot of blue. The white clouds gradually dispersed in all directions. The scorching sun that was originally blocked behind the clouds finally revealed its true face in Lushan Mountain. Spreading scorching light on the earth...

If it were normal, those noble ladies kneeling on the ground might think that the sun would tan their skin, but at this moment, they couldn't think of going in that direction, they just felt that the huge stone in their hearts finally fell.

Si Tianjian was even more happy and shouted loudly to the sky: "The clouds have dispersed and the rising sun is shining on the earth! God has heard the prayers of all living beings and sent blessings!"

Following this, everyone knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to the sky, shouting in unison: Thank you God for blessing me with prosperity.

At this point, the ceremony of worshiping the heaven is completed.

The surrounding maids rushed forward to help their girls, and the girls who fainted had been carried away by several chambermaids in a well-trained manner.

Nangong Yue stood up with difficulty with Baihui's support, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Xiao Yi striding towards her. Her eyes, which were always full of smiles in the past, were hers and hers alone. , nothing else.

Nangong Yue's heart trembled, and there seemed to be a "thumping" in her ears. Something was broken at this moment, and her eyes suddenly became clear.

She shook her head at Xiao Yi from a distance, signaling him not to come over.

Xiao Yi stopped and did not move forward, but his eyes were still entangled with Nangong Yue and refused to move away.

Nangong Yue tried to stabilize her mind, but a storm arose in her heart.

The so-called "one leaf blinds the eye" should be her, right?

When she lifted off the white veil that she had covered in front of her eyes, many things were clearly revealed before her eyes.

In her previous life, she worked so hard for someone who didn't care about her, but ended up destroying herself.

After resurrecting her life, she has never wanted to think about marriage. This is not only to atone for the sins of her previous life, but also to feel that her heart has calmed down. Her biggest goal in this life is to protect her mother, her brother, and her family. As long as If they can do well, then she will be contented.

In the past two years, she seemed to have done well. Her brother survived, her mother was not crazy, her stepmother in her previous life was completely sent away from their lives, and she was named Princess Yaoguang by the emperor... Everything seemed to Everything is getting better and better. As long as Han Lingfu is prevented from ascending to the supreme position, half of the Nangong family will be saved.

But in fact, she was the only one, armed with layers of coats, still staying where she was.

The elder brother is getting smarter and smarter, has friends of his own, and has passed the childbirth examination; the mother is not just locked in Qianyun Courtyard, but is working hard to run the family, facing the ups and downs inside and outside the house; What about yourself?

My time seems to have stayed at the moment of death in my previous life. Both my soul and my mind were blocked there, unwilling to come out again, let alone grow.

She was afraid of being hurt again, so she hesitated in place and told herself that without change, there would be no harm.

But in fact, is this really the case?

In other words, is she really willing to do this?

Does she really want to be like her previous life? At the end of her life, she regrets her past life endlessly, regrets that she did not take that step, and regrets that she missed the most important and precious thing in life!

Maybe she should give it a try, in order to have no regrets in this life! Even if she gets injured again, at least she can be sure——

At this moment, he likes her so much! She is the only one in his eyes!

That's enough...

At this time, the emperor and the empress finally walked down slowly from the rooftop. After three hours of praying, the emperor and the empress were extremely tired, but there was a look of relief on their brows.

The high-spirited hearts of the civil and military officials were a little relieved. The sacrifice to heaven was successfully completed, and they had an explanation to the people of the world. The matter of the Tengu eating the sun could finally be put to rest.

The emperor and empress were escorted to the palace in the garden to rest.

Everyone respectfully sent the emperor off, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief. Some people began to go home, while others walked in twos and threes to various places in the garden. It's a rare trip to the Royal Gardens, so it's natural to appreciate the scenery here.

"Sister Yue, are you okay?" Jiang Yixi walked over with a caring look on her face, accompanied by Yuan Yuyi, the head of Liushuang County. The two of them looked a bit embarrassed. Most of their makeup had been destroyed by sweat, but it was just barely visible.

"I'm fine." Nangong Yue looked at the two of them with a smile. Seeing that they couldn't hide their fatigue, she quickly took out a jade bottle from her arms, "I have some refreshing pills here, Sister Xi, Yi Sister, you all should take one."

The two girls were naturally disrespectful. After taking the pill, Jiang Yixi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Huh? Where is sister Qing?"

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked to the side, and sure enough, Nangong Cheng disappeared without knowing it. She remembered that Nangong Cheng should have helped Shuxiang up before. Later, she was busy paying attention to Xiao Yi, but she didn't pay attention to Nangong Cheng's whereabouts.

The three of them looked around and saw many girls sitting tiredly on stone benches under the shade of trees and taking a nap. Jiang Yixi hurriedly said: "Sister Yue, don't worry. I think Sister Cheng must have taken a rest nearby. This is Royal Garden, nothing will happen."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly and suggested: "Let's go back to the carriage first. I think eldest sister will definitely go to the carriage after she has rested."

Nangong Yue looked around half a circle, and then walked slowly towards the entrance of the royal garden with the two of them, watching the scenery and chatting.

At this time, the missing Nangong Cheng was in a pine forest. Opposite her stood a tall and handsome man, wearing a green brocade robe, a mutton-fat white jade silk gold crown on his head, and his deep eyes were burning. Looking at Nangong Cheng, there was a smile on his lips.

Behind them, Shuxiang was guarding the entrance of the pine forest with a complicated expression. At this time, thinking about all the strange things that happened to Nangong Cheng in the previous period, it was clear that the marriage in Jian'an Bo Mansion was the best, but the eldest girl had always been depressed. She was so unhappy that she even locked herself in her room and cried loudly. On the contrary, the eldest girl seemed to be relieved that the marriage could not happen. If everything is because of the eldest girl and His Highness Prince Cheng...then everything can be explained.

The pine forest covers the sun, and the breeze blows gently, making a rustling sound. The soft and soothing sound makes people relax.

Nangong Cheng looked at the man with a pair of bright eyes like autumn water. Her ears began to turn slightly red, but at the same time, she felt a little frightened and her heart was beating thumpingly. What would he think of her? Was it to mock her, despise her, and spurn her like the rest of the world, or... Nangong Cheng bit her lower lip slightly.

"Miss Nangong, I have heard about you and Jian Anbo's mansion."

What King Cheng said made Nangong Cheng feel as if she had been struck by lightning, her pretty face turned pale. After a while, she mustered up the courage to slowly raise her eyes to look at him. His eyes were as clear as the clear blue sky after the rain. There was no contempt or disgust in them, only joy.

He looked down at her slightly, with clear joy written in his eyes and the corners of his mouth, and tentatively called out softly again: "Chen'er..."

Nangong Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, her pink face was stained with flying clouds, but she did not object.

Seeing this, King Cheng felt reassured. He boldly held Nangong Cheng's hand and expressed his sincere heart: "Cheng'er, you don't know how entangled I have been in the past few days. I tried hard to tell myself that you and Jian'an Prince Bo is a talented man and a good-looking woman. If you marry him, you won't need to leave your loved ones, leave the place you are most familiar with, and go to a foreign land. However, I don't want to give up on you, and I don't want to watch you marry someone else... It wasn't until I heard that the marriage had fallen through that I was relieved." As he said that, he put Nangong Cheng's bare hand on his chest, "I know I'm despicable like this, will you hate me like this?"

Nangong Cheng felt that her cheeks were about to burn, and she shook her head desperately, because like him, she felt relieved when she heard that the marriage was not successful. What she was most afraid of was... Nangong Cheng gritted her teeth. He said with difficulty: "Your Highness Prince Cheng, now I am in the royal capital..." It can be said that she has become the laughing stock of everyone after dinner. Does he still want her like this?

Nangong Cheng couldn't express the rest of this. She could only express her feelings tenderly and sweetly with a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

King Cheng grabbed the big palm of her right hand and exerted slight pressure, and said eagerly: "Cheng'er, why do you think so! This is not your fault at all, what is damnable is those long-tongued women with bad reputations! You In my mind, you are the most beautiful woman. Even the stars in the sky cannot be as bright as you."

Nangong Cheng felt sweet in her heart. The anxiety she had been feeling for the past few days was finally settled. Her sweetheart was indeed not such a superficial ordinary person!

She took a deep breath, but her thoughts were changing in the blink of an eye.

Since she was a child, she has listened to her family's teachings and followed the rules, fearing that one wrong move would ruin her life. But what about now? Even if she is cautious and respectful, there will still be villains causing trouble!

In this case, she will go out of her way once!

The contents of the signature came to her mind again, and she said to herself in her heart that this might be a warning from God, and it was also her last chance!

She mustered up the courage to raise her eyes to meet King Cheng's eyes, and asked shyly: "You... what you said last time..." After a pause, she finished her words quietly but firmly, "King Cheng Your Highness, if you are really interested in Cheng'er, please come and propose marriage. Cheng'er must never have a private relationship with His Highness!" After saying this, she lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at King Cheng again.

King Cheng said slowly: "Cheng'er, please wait for me for a while longer..."

Nangong Cheng’s neck instantly turned bright red, she nodded almost imperceptibly, and then said: "It’s time for me to leave. If I don’t leave, the third sister will be anxious."

King Cheng nodded and stood quietly, watching Nangong Cheng leave.

By the time Nangong Cheng arrived at the entrance of the royal garden, Nangong Qin had already arrived. Now that everyone was here, the driver of Nangong Mansion headed back home.

When I returned to the mansion from the eastern suburbs, the sunset had already set halfway. The fire clouds in the sky burned from the west to the east, dyeing most of the sky red, as if it was on fire.

Nangong Yue stood at the window, watching the sunset bit by bit...

She wants to see him!

Never have I been so eager to see him as I am now!

Although the agreed date has not arrived yet, now that you have made a decision, let’s do it!

Finally, when the sunset completely set, Nangong Yue summoned Baihui and ordered: "Go and find Prince Xiao."

Baihui was startled. It was not uncommon for Prince Xiao to visit, but it was very rare for his own girl to take the initiative to see him...

Reluctantly suppressing the surprise in her heart, Baihui immediately followed the order and left.
