"Princess!"
One of Xiao Fang's maids, Ming Jing, hurried in with a sad look on her face.
"Have you heard what happened in the house?" Xiao Fang sat on the rosewood chair and took a sip of tea. As soon as she entered the house, she felt that something was wrong. The house was decorated with lights and red silk hanging high, and everyone was beaming with joy. It looked like there was a happy event going on.
"My servant inquired and said that the emperor granted a marriage to the prince and Princess Yaoguang of Nangong Mansion." Mingjing carefully observed the words and expressions, fearing that if she was not careful, the princess would turn her anger on her.
"What?! When did this happen? Why didn't I know?" Xiao Fang was stunned. This news was no less than a bolt from the blue, completely disrupting her original plan.
"Back to Princess, it was just over a month ago." Mingjing said calmly.
Little Fang's eyebrows furrowed slightly. They were on the road more than a month ago. No wonder they couldn't get the news in time. It's a pity that I arrived a step too late. I didn't expect that the emperor would move so quickly!
Fang Ziteng, the fourth girl of the Fang family on the side, felt her heart was hit hard. She followed her aunt all the way to the capital just to marry her cousin Xiao Yi, but now...
"Aunt..." She looked at Xiao Fang with eager eyes, "My cousin has been granted a marriage, what should I do?" She came here to be the Crown Princess of Zhennan, but now this Crown Princess Her position was snatched away by Princess Yaoguang, what should she do?
Just go back in despair?
How about that? If we go back like this, won't we make the aunts and concubines at home laugh out loud?
"Sister Teng, don't be impatient. Wait until I ask you clearly." A flash of displeasure flashed in Xiao Fang's eyes, but she still said patiently.
Fang Ziteng had no choice but to hold back.
Xiao Fang asked Mingjing again: "Have you ever inquired about the identity of Princess Yaoguang?" This is what Xiao Fang is most concerned about. The imperial edict has been issued and cannot be changed, so the woman's family background is obviously It's still important. She was in southern Xinjiang, and she really looked down upon the noble daughter of the royal capital - she was blinded.
Ming Jing hurriedly replied: "Princess, she is the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Nangong Mansion. She is the third daughter of the sisters in the mansion. She is twelve years old..."
"Only twelve!" Xiao Fang smiled reassuringly.
Her eyes flashed, this was not bad, as this would make Xiao Yi's wedding late for several years. The later his legitimate son comes, the better it will be for her.
Then, Xiao Fang thought of something again and asked: "Nangong? But that Nangong Mansion!" Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know that one of the four great families that was once famous in the world has become more and more popular after the fall of the previous dynasty? , the Nangong family fell into decline... Unexpectedly, there was a princess now. Could it be that the emperor had become more fond of the Nangong family again?
Ming Jing hurriedly explained the current positions of the two masters of Nangong Mansion in the imperial court, and how Nangong Yue got the position of princess.
When Xiao Fang heard that Nangong Yue had cured the fifth prince and the emperor, she couldn't help but be surprised: "She is only twelve years old, but she has such great medical skills?"
Mingjing said: "Back to Princess, I don't know the specific situation. I only heard that Princess Yaoguang's grandfather is known as the best doctor in the world."
"Grandfather of the miracle doctor?" Fang Ziteng couldn't help but sneer, "I don't think it's the medical skills, but the medicine that he has done."
Little Fang nodded in agreement. She also felt that Fang Ziteng's guess was reasonable.
Fang Ziteng gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt, she must have fallen in love with my cousin. She had the audacity to ask the Emperor for a marriage by curing the Fifth Prince and the Emperor."
Little Fang was thoughtful. If this is the case, then Princess Yaoguang has nothing to fear. The princess with a different surname is not a princess, and her family background is in decline. Even if the emperor and the fifth prince were cured and granted the title of princess, and the emperor granted marriage, no matter how much affection they had, they were almost used up.
Xiao Fang finally showed her face and said: "Mingjing, go and invite the prince here, saying it is for the marriage."
Mingjing responded and exited the room.
Fang Ziteng became even more anxious. She went over and shook little Fang's hand affectionately and said: "I don't care, aunt, you must help me. You promised my parents that you would let me marry my cousin and be a wife." The crown prince's concubine. Now that it's like this, you have to find a way to help me!"
Little Fang's eyes were slightly cold, and she looked at Fang Ziteng warningly, and said: "Brother Yi will be here soon, hold it for me, and don't show your crazy girl look. If you dare to embarrass me, Don't blame me for being rude and throwing you back to southern Xinjiang."
Fang Ziteng was so agitated by Xiao Fang's sight that she hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, aunt, I will act like a lady and won't embarrass you." She flattered Xiao Fang. Fang smiled. Even if she couldn't become the Crown Princess of Zhennan, she still couldn't offend the princess's aunt.
Xiao Fang's expression softened a little. After all, she is her biological niece and she always listens to her words. Besides, there is still use in keeping her.
"Don't worry, if you can't be the crown prince's concubine, can't you still be the side concubine?" Xiao Fang looked at Fang Ziteng with gentle eyes. Originally, with Fang Ziteng's status, it was indeed a bit high to be the crown prince's concubine, but being the side concubine was a matter of course!
"Concubine?" Fang Ziteng exclaimed in disbelief, "No, aunt, I don't want to be a concubine." She came here to be the prince's concubine, how could she be a concubine?
Little Fang stretched out her green onion jade and pointed at Fang Ziteng’s forehead. She hated iron and said, "Can a concubine compare with an ordinary concubine? Besides, after you became Brother Yi's concubine, didn't you Can you still think of ways to correct it?"
Fang Ziteng looked at Little Fang in confusion, obviously not understanding. The emperor has granted marriage, and the position of the crown prince's concubine is occupied. How could she straighten herself up? ...It won’t kill Princess Yaoguang, right?
"Auntie, do you have a way to prevent Princess Yaoguang from entering?" She looked at Xiao Fang expectantly.
Little Fang’s eyebrows were raised coldly: “What nonsense are you talking about? The imperial edict has been issued, how can we not let Princess Yaoguang in?”
Fang Ziteng suddenly looked disappointed.
"But it is not impossible to straighten the concubine." Xiao Fang said slowly, "Princess Yaoguang is still young, and she will have to wait for a few years before she can enter the house. You can enter the house before her. Become the crown prince's concubine, capture the crown prince's heart, and give birth to a son. In the past few years, you have tried to find ways to firmly control the crown prince's backyard. After a few years, even if the crown prince's concubine comes in, you must Keep her from getting involved." A flash of light flashed in her eyes, "When the time comes, I will help you, and you have a son, won't the Crown Princess be in name only?"
Fang Ziteng nodded thoughtfully.
"Besides, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will return to southern Xinjiang sooner or later..." Xiao Fang deliberately showed a worried look and said meaningfully, "The Crown Prince is such a delicate and noble daughter of the royal capital. I don’t know if I can adapt to life in southern Xinjiang. I hope nothing happens..."
Fang Ziteng's mind immediately became active. Yes, if the Crown Princess cannot adapt to Southern Xinjiang and is gone, it will be her chance! No matter what happens, there will always be a way to deal with her if there is a hint of viciousness in her eyes!
Little Fang’s lips curled up, thinking: Princess Yaoguang appeared out of the blue, disrupting her plan.
Hmph, she wants to come in? Okay! Then he would give her an opponent first, an opponent who would like to take her place.
By then, Xiao Yi's backyard will definitely become chaotic. The more chaotic the better. If my niece really takes action, she will really kill two birds with one stone!
Little Fang picked up the tea cup, and the white smoke curled up, blurring her eyebrows and covering up all her thoughts and calculations.
"Princess," at this time, Mingjing came in to report, "the prince is here."
Little Fang put down the tea cup in her hand and glanced at Fang Ziteng. Fang Ziteng immediately sat upright with a virtuous and dignified look, but her eyes couldn't help but look outside the room.
Wearing a light cyan embroidered silver peach blossom brocade robe, Xiao Yi walked in with a spring breeze on his face.
"I've met my concubine." Xiao Yi saluted, "I haven't seen you for a long time. My concubine looks good."
"Brother Yi," Xiao Fang said with a loving look on his face when he saw Xiao Yi, "I haven't seen you for a while, and you have lost weight! You can do nothing in the royal capital. Are you okay? Are you getting used to food and clothing?"
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Okay, everything is fine, the emperor also gave me a daughter-in-law." He smiled with bright eyebrows, his face was shining, and he looked very satisfied.
Fang Ziteng looked at Xiao Yi with eyes closed, not knowing whether to resent or regret: Such a beautiful young man should have been his!
She couldn't help but remind: "Aunt..." Don't be busy with the deep love between mother and son. You should introduce yourself.
"By the way," Xiao Fang said to Xiao Yi with a smile, "Brother Yi, this is your fourth cousin from the Fang family. You met her when you were children. Do you still remember her?"
"I've met my cousin." Fang Ziteng tried her best to act like a lady among everyone, and looked at Xiao Yi gracefully.
Xiao Yi ignored her at all and said directly to Xiao Fang, "My mother-in-law came at the right time. The emperor has granted a marriage to my son, so I can help my mother-in-law to make the decision for my son."
Seeing that he didn't even glance at her from the corner of his eyes, Fang Ziteng suddenly became furious: He ignored such a beautiful woman in front of him and only thought about making a decision to a little girl. ?
"Well, should we wait until your father writes a letter before we talk about this?" Xiao Fang pretended, "It must be approved by your father."
"I have already sent a letter to my father, and now my father should have received the news." Xiao Yi said in a good mood, "What's more, this is the eldest concubine chosen by the emperor for me. Father How can you disagree?" He looked at Xiao Fang with a meaningful look, "Or does the mother and concubine think that the father has other plans and wants to disobey the holy will?"
"How could this happen?" Xiao Fang was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, "The marriage given by the emperor, the prince knew it was too late to be happy, so how could he be dissatisfied?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and urged: "In that case, mother and concubine should quickly pick a date and make a decision."
"Brother Yi, Princess Yaoguang is still young, so there's no need to be so hasty." Little Fang smiled, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. How can it be so easy to get her to do something!
"Yes, cousin, what my aunt said is right!" Fang Ziteng couldn't help but screamed, but then she immediately remembered her image as a lady and said softly, "Cousin, why do you need to be in a hurry?" She tried to show her most perfect smile and make secret glances at Xiao Yi, but in the end, she was just flirting with a blind man.
Xiao Yi responded coldly: "This is a marriage given by the emperor. Our palace did not follow the holy will and step up the preparations. Could it be that we are dragging it out for a year and a half? Besides, the mother-in-law has just arrived. The king always has to go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen. If the Queen asks the mother-in-law about her plans for this marriage, what will the mother-in-law say? She doesn’t know anything about it and has no plans at all?"
Fang Ziteng was startled and said somewhat uncertainly: "Auntie has just arrived? The Queen will not push her in such a hurry, right?"
Xiao Yi sneered: "What the Tian family handed over to me, how can I say it was forced?" As he said that, he looked at little Fang with a worried look on his face, "Mother concubine, Miss Fang has just arrived in the royal capital. This Those who don't cover their mouths can easily get into trouble, so they should be sent back to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible."
Fang Ziteng was dumbfounded. She had just arrived in the royal capital and her **** was not yet warm. Why was she sent away? How can this work?
She looked at Xiao Fangshi as if asking for help. Now the only one who could make the decision for her was Xiao Fangshi.
Little Fang felt that Fang Ziteng couldn't speak, but Fang Ziteng was still useful to her, so naturally she couldn't let Xiao Yi do what she wanted.
"Your cousin is young and new to the capital. She doesn't know the rules. I will teach her well..." She said and glanced at Fang Ziteng.
Fang Ziteng stepped forward, pretending to be weak and pitiful, and said quietly: "Cousin, I will be obedient, please don't drive me away, okay?"
Xiao Yi was too lazy to look at her, and just said to Xiao Fang: "Concubine, this marriage was given by the Holy Emperor. Since Concubine has arrived in the royal capital, of course she wants to express her attitude, so what else can be done than to start preparations as soon as possible? Is this marriage more secure?" He looked at Xiao Fang with burning eyes, "Are you right, concubine?"
Of course Xiao Fang couldn't say it was wrong, so she could only say against her will: "Brother Yi is right." She felt gloomy in her heart, and felt like she was being led around by the nose. This feeling was unpleasant and made her feel sad. I was vomiting until I was bleeding.
"Since the mother-in-law thinks it's right, let's go to Nangong Mansion tomorrow."
"Why don't you wait until I have an audience with the Queen..."
"What the mother-in-law said is, let's do it in three days."
Three days from now? ! Xiao Fang still felt that it was too urgent. After some bargaining, the date was set for ten days.
"Then just listen to Concubine Mother," Xiao Yi was finally satisfied and said beamingly, "Thank you for your trouble, Concubine Mother."
Little Fang felt even more disgusted. She didn't listen to her. Although it was impossible to refuse the marriage, according to her plan, it would have to be delayed for another three to five months for those who had not yet entered the door. Nangong made a show of force!
Xiao Yi's wish came true, so he naturally didn't want to stay for a moment longer and left with satisfaction.
When Fang Ziteng saw Xiao Yi leaving, he quickly excused himself from Xiao Fang, held up his skirt, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Cousin, cousin..." Fang Ziteng caught up with him in three steps and two steps at a time. He ran up to Xiao Yi and handed him a plain purse embroidered with wisteria flowers. Her white jade-like cheeks were covered with red clouds, "Cousin, this is for you. It contains mint to refresh your mind. My cousin will definitely need it."
She pretended to be soft, but Xiao Yi's ears gave rise to goosebumps. His pace did not slow down even half a minute, but instead sped up a bit, as if avoiding the plague.
Fang Ziteng grasped the purse in her hand tightly, feeling angry and annoyed in her heart: her cousin was too disrespectful to her. Even if he refused to accept it, what would happen if he said a few nice words?
In southern Xinjiang, many men begged her to look at him, but she didn't even bother. Now that she has lowered her stature so much, this Xiao Yi actually...
Fang Ziteng was filled with hatred, but when she thought of Xiao Yi Zhennan's identity as the crown prince, she felt that it would be a pity to give up... Besides, before she left Southern Xinjiang, she had already given up her lofty words to her mother!
Hmph! She didn't believe she couldn't defeat Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi left the inner courtyard in high spirits, came to his study, and immediately asked someone to call Cheng Yu.
Not long after, Cheng Yu came over sweating profusely, thinking in his mind: Today the step princess has arrived, and the prince called him here at this time, but he didn’t know what was important.
"Cheng Yu," Xiao Yi ordered sternly, "find a few more people to keep a close eye on the inner courtyard. Don't let those blind people wander around!" He lived in the outer courtyard. There are people cleaning from time to time, but almost no one goes there. But now that Little Fang is here, he has to keep an eye on the inner courtyard for the stinky girl, lest inexplicable people make the inner courtyard a mess.
Cheng Yu had a black line on his face and was a little speechless: The prince called him here in a hurry, just for this? When did he, a counselor, have to take charge of the inner courtyard of the palace? It was so pitiful that he couldn't find any place to complain!
Because the other brothers will definitely say to him in an envious tone, the prince really values you!
As for Xiao Fang, as soon as she arrived in the royal capital, she handed the sign to the palace. She waited for another day before receiving the news from the palace. After dressing up properly, she entered the palace on a canopy-covered chariot. .
As soon as Xiao Fang entered the main hall of Fengluan Palace, she saw the queen sitting at the top wearing a big red phoenix robe, and a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old sitting below.
Little Fang didn't dare to look at her, and bowed down to the queen in a polite manner.
The queen asked Xiao Fang to stand up and sit down, then she said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Princess Zhennan came into the palace to pay her respects to me, and it just so happened that Yue Yatou also came today." She turned to the little girl beside her and said, "Girl Yue, this is your future mother-in-law, why don't you go up and greet her."
Little Fang's eyes flashed slightly, and then she realized that the person sitting there was Nangong Yue, Princess Yaoguang.
Nangong Yue stood up and bowed to Xiao Fangshi, "Yao Guang has seen the princess." The reason why she was in the palace today was that it was the day to take the emperor's pulse. After taking the pulse, she took care of her. Fengluan Palace greets the queen. I didn't expect to meet Xiao Fang.
Little Fang looked at Nangong Yue carefully. She was wearing a carmine red dress with fluttering butterflies embroidered on the skirt. The embroidered shoes under her feet were inlaid with rice-sized pearls, forming an exquisite magnolia shape. She looked at It makes people feel lively yet elegant.
Little Fang hurriedly said softly: "Princess Yaoguang is exempt from the courtesy."
Nangong Yue took advantage of the moment she stood up to look at Xiao Fang, the second concubine of Zhennan Wang.
She had never met Xiao Fang in her previous life. In this life, she had only met her from afar at the New Year's Palace Banquet more than a year ago, and had not left much impression on her.
Little Fang is well-maintained and looks like she is only in her early twenties. She does not look like she has a teenage son at all. She has willowy eyebrows and red lips, a rosy complexion, and a charming look in her eyes. No wonder King Zhennan loved his step-concubine extremely much.
"She is indeed pretty and lovely. No wonder the emperor betrothed the princess to our brother Yi. She is truly a talented man and a beautiful woman!" Xiao Fang's eyes became softer when looking at Nangong Yue, "I didn't expect to be here today. Meeting Princess Yaoguang..." As she said this, she took off a red agate bracelet from her hand, "Come on, Princess, this is a meeting gift for you."
Nangong Yue raised her head and glanced at Xiao Fang timidly, then turned to look at the queen shyly, looking at a loss.
Contempt flashed through Xiao Fang's eyes. The Nangong Mansion was nothing more than that. The dignified daughter-in-law and the imperial title princess acted as if she had never seen a big scene since she came out of a small family.
The queen didn't think too much. She just thought that Nangong Yue was nervous and shy because of meeting her future mother-in-law. She showed a loving smile and said: "Girl Yue, since the princess gave it to you, you accept it. That’s it.”
Nangong Yue thanked her softly, accepted the red agate bracelet, and put it on her hand.
Little Fang took the opportunity to praise a few words, then took Nangong Yue’s hand and asked her how old she was, then asked her if she had read the Women’s Commandment, and then asked her what she likes to do on weekdays... Nangong Yue is red Face answered a series of questions from Xiao Fang, either nodding or shaking his head, or making a soft "hmm" sound. Only a handful of them answered more than three words.
Little Fang became more and more satisfied. Such a soft and shy Crown Princess was too good to support the Zhennan Palace. Xiao Yi is truly "blessed" to have such a concubine!
The emperor and the empress must have their intentions in choosing such a concubine for Xiao Yi.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Xiao Fang's heart, and she thought to herself: Could it be that because she was afraid of the power of the Zhennan Palace, she deliberately found such a girl to be assigned to Xiao Yi?
The more Xiao Fang thought about it, the more it made sense, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt. She kept holding Nangong Yue’s hand, and said something to the queen to express her gratitude to the emperor and the queen, and thanked them for choosing such a person for Xiao Yi. The well-educated Crown Princess burst into tears with gratitude.
Seeing the happy appearance of the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the queen was also smiling. Naturally, she would not take Xiao Fang's words seriously. Who wouldn't do this to make fun of the situation?
Nangong Yue stayed in the palace with Xiao Fang for nearly an hour, and finally returned home tired. She did not bother to go back to Mozhu Courtyard to rest, but went to the study to find Nangong Mu first.
They were the only father and daughter in the study. After Nangong Yue saluted Nangong Mu, she went straight to the point: "Dad, the palace may be about to choose concubines for the princes."
Nangong Mu was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Sister Yue, are you sure? Your uncle is in the Ministry of Rites and didn't hear him talk about this matter."
"Dad, when I went to the Empress's place today, she was looking at a roster. I glanced at it quietly and saw that it basically contained the names of ministers of third rank or above and the legitimate daughters of honorable families." Nangong Yue He frowned lightly and speculated, "The princes in the palace are almost the same age, so the possibility of choosing a concubine for them is relatively high. Dad had better tell the uncle that no matter whether the family is willing or not, it needs to be done as soon as possible. Good plan."
Nangong Mu nodded cautiously: "I understand."
"The daughter resigned first."
After Nangong Yue saluted, he left the study and went directly to Qianyun Courtyard.
As soon as Mrs. Lin saw her, she pulled her to sit down with a smile, "Sister Yue, are you exhausted? Go back and take a good nap later." As she said that, her eyes fell on Nangong. On the red agate bracelet on Yue's wrist, Mrs. Lin clearly knew her daughter's jewelry. When she saw the unfamiliar bracelet, she asked, "Did the Queen reward you again?"
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue shook her head, and then told Mrs. Lin about meeting Xiao Fang in the palace.
Lin's eyes darkened slightly, and after pondering for a moment, she said seriously: "Sister Yue, you are already engaged, so you are not allowed to wander around these days. Since Princess Zhennan has arrived in the royal capital, I will definitely go back to southern Xinjiang after completing the small wedding ceremony. Just stay in the courtyard for me, and at least drive out Prince Xiao’s two sets of clothes. I will ask An Niang to pick up the size from Zhennan Prince’s Mansion in a moment." /
After chatting with Ms. Lin for a while, An Niang returned shortly after she returned to Mozhuyuan with the measurements given by Zhennan Palace.
Nangong Yue just glanced casually, but frowned slightly.
While she looked at the size carefully, she recalled Xiao Yi's figure, and couldn't help but sigh: If she were to follow this size, she would definitely make a fool of herself!
It's impossible for Xiao Yi's people to give her the wrong size. Needless to say, it must have been the little Fang who did it on purpose.
As for the intention, it was just to make her look embarrassed in public and take the opportunity to give herself a blow.
However, I'm sorry, Xiao Fang is destined to be disappointed.
A faint smile appeared on Nangong Yue's face. The sunlight filtered through the hollow window lattice and shone on her white jade-like side face, as if sprinkled with a layer of broken gold, setting off her moist apricot eyes. As bright as glass.
Nangong Yue ordered to Baihui: "Baihui, go find Prince Xiao and tell him that I want to make him two sets of clothes and ask him for the size."
Baihui frowned and nodded understandingly.
Not long after, Baihui came back, and immediately after, Nangong Yue also started preparing to sew clothes for Xiao Yi.
For a while, the Mozhu Courtyard was very lively. The maids helped Nangong Yue choose clothing materials. One said azure was good, and the other said bright red was festive. You and I argued for a long time.
Later, Nangong Yue paid attention to it herself, chose moon white and purple ones, and cut the clothes by herself.
From then on, Nangong Yue rarely stepped out of the courtyard except for studying in the morning and dusk.
While Nangong Yue was being detained in her room and sweetly making her first piece of clothing for Xiao Yi, Nangong Mansion was in an uproar because of the Queen's floral invitation.
At that time, Nangong Yue happened to be taking the last stitch. After hearing Que'er's report, she couldn't help but look surprised, "You mean cousin Xiao also received the flower invitation?"
"Yes, girl." Que'er was also puzzled. "Because of this matter, the third lady made a big fuss, thinking that someone in the palace must have made a mistake. This flower post should be for the fourth girl. Yes."
The Queen issued a flower invitation and invited ministers of third rank and above, as well as the unengaged eldest daughters and some concubines of noble houses to attend the flower viewing party on the first day of August.
Although it is not stated clearly, everyone can guess that its purpose is to help the princes choose concubines. The legitimate daughter will naturally have the opportunity to become the concubine. As for the concubine, if she is chosen, she can only become a concubine. .
Nangong Cheng and Bai Muxiao were the recipients of floral invitations from Nangong Mansion.
Even Bai Muxiao is there, but Nangong Lin is anonymous. No wonder Huang is anxious.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows. She guessed that the palace would choose concubines for the princes, but she didn't expect that it would be held in the form of a flower viewing party.
I asked my father to bring a message to my uncle before, but I don’t know what his plans are.
The hustle and bustle outside the house did not cause much ripples in Nangong Yue's heart, and soon she was diverted by her lifelong events.
Although the marriage between Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi was granted by the emperor, these six rituals cannot be omitted and must be completed step by step according to the rules. Considering that the wedding will have to wait until Nangong Yue gets her hairpin, the three rituals of nacai, asking for names, and naji are performed first, which is a small ceremony. Nacai and asking for names are just formalities. This is a marriage given by the emperor, and the horoscope is naturally It's extremely appropriate, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the emperor's face?
In a blink of an eye, Najib's day came. Early in the morning, Xiao Fang dressed up carefully, visited Nangong Mansion in person, and prepared a cart full of gifts.
As soon as they arrived at Nangong Mansion, Xiao Fang was personally welcomed to Rongan Hall by Liu Qingqing. Everyone in Nangong Mansion was already waiting in the main hall, including today's protagonist Nangong Yue.
When everyone saw Xiao Fang, they were almost blinded. They saw her long hair pulled into a flying moon bun, wearing a gilt filigree dotted with emerald beads and a phoenix step, and a pair of red gold inlaid with emeralds on her ears. She wears gourd earrings and wears a pine-colored butterfly dress with gold embroidery, which is both rich and gorgeous.
“I’ve met the princess!”
Everyone bowed their knees and saluted Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang paused deliberately, then raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why do future in-laws need so many courtesy? Let them all be exempted."
Although everyone knew that Xiao Fang was trying to get Qiao, they didn't dare to show their anger on their faces. Only Huang secretly snickered and thought: It seems that Nangong Yue's marriage is superficial, and this stepmother is also a mother. , I’m afraid the step princess will have a lot of troubles in the future!
Thinking of this, Huang's depressed mood these days finally calmed down a lot.
"Princess, please take a seat!"
Because the rank of Princess Zhennan was higher than that of the Su family, the Su family gave up the throne to the little Fang family, and the little Fang family sat down unceremoniously, and everyone took their seats one after another.
Following Xiao Fang's eyes, he fell on Nangong Yue and said with a smile: "Princess Yaoguang, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing lately?"
Nangong Yue leaned forward, looked shy, lowered her head slightly and said: "The fluctlight is very good, thank you for your concern, Princess."
Xiao Fang immediately looked away and said to Mingjing: "Mingjing, why don't you hurry up and send me all the small wedding gifts."
"Yes, Princess." Mingjing saluted and hurried to the door of the hall, followed by four maids who walked in holding four boxes of small wedding gifts. The first box contained gold necklaces, gold bracelets, gold hairpins, etc. gold jewelry; the second box contains jadeite jewelry such as Ruyi; the third box contains bright red embroidered clothes; and the fourth box contains various fine fabrics, including very rare Yun brocade.
Although this small wedding ceremony cannot be said to be particularly grand, it is complete. Mrs. Lin nodded slightly in her heart. Mrs. Fang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Old Madam Nangong, Second Madam Nangong, this is really rude. The princess was in a hurry when she came to this trip, and she never thought that the emperor would actually grant a marriage to Brother Yi, so she prepared in a hurry, which made the in-laws laugh."
"No, the princess is so polite." Su Shi said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a strange maid in blue hurriedly ran in, her face turned pale and she saluted: "Wang...Princess, it's not good!"
Little Fang was proud, but pretended to be angry: "Mingmou, how are you talking! What's wrong with this wonderful day?"
Mingmou bowed again and said in a panic: "Princess, please forgive me. It's the pair of live geese that are gone!"
Everyone in Nangong Mansion was shocked, and Mrs. Lin even had a bad premonition.
"Gone?" Xiao Fang frowned, but said deliberately, "Why did this beautiful wild goose disappear?"
"Princess, it's not that she's missing, it's... it's..." Mingmou thought again and again, and couldn't use the word "dead", so she could only change it to another way of saying, "It's because she ran out of energy!"
"What?!" Xiao Fang was so angry that he started to scream, "Those pairs of live geese were specially given by the Crown Prince to hunt today as a gift. How can you say that you are out of breath?"
"I don't know what's going on, this slave." Mingming lowered his eyes and said aggrievedly.
The live goose used to make the ceremony actually died! This news was like a flat thunderclap, which made everyone unable to recover. The maids present hurriedly covered their mouths to stifle their exclamations.
The goose laying ceremony in Naji is usually done with wooden geese because geese are rare. However, in order to show respect for the Nangong family, Xiao Yi personally hunted a pair of live geese and brought them back as a gift.
But when the small decision was made, the pair of live geese died. It was really unlucky!
