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

After arriving at Yulin Palace, Xiao Yi reluctantly said goodbye to Nangong Yue.

"Greetings to Princess Yaoguang." The palace maid curtsied respectfully to Nangong Yue and said, "The queen is in Peach Blossom Pavilion. Please lead the princess and Miss Bai over."

Lily rewarded her with a silver nude. The palace maid thanked her and led them towards the Peach Blossom Pavilion.

Nangong Yue and Bai Muxiao had nothing to say and walked forward in silence until they met Jiang Yixi.

Since returning from the hunting palace, Jiang Yixi has basically stayed at home and recuperated in the mansion. This is the first time Nangong Yue has seen her outside the Duke of Enguo's mansion since the last time.

Coming with Jiang Yixi today were her two concubines. After they saluted Nangong Yue, they consciously took a step back.

Nangong Yue glanced at the two people. Whether it was admiring flowers in the palace last time or accompanying her to the hunting palace, these two concubines from the Duke of Enguo's mansion had never appeared before. She didn't know that the queen specially wanted to do this this time. What was the plan to summon them?

However, these had nothing to do with her, and Nangong Yue didn't pay much attention to them. She just laughed and walked side by side with Jiang Yixi.

The Peach Blossom Pavilion is located directly east of Yulin Palace, in the center of the peach blossom forest. It is the blooming period of peach blossoms at this time. Looking around, you can see peach blossoms in full bloom, from white to pink to bright red, blowing in the breeze. Caressing it, it ripples gently like waves, making the Peach Blossom Pavilion particularly beautiful.

At this time, some girls had arrived and were chatting with the queen in the Peach Blossom Pavilion. When she saw Nangong Yue, Jiang Yixi and others, the smile on the queen's face immediately became more sincere. She waved to them and said: "Sister Xi and Yue Yatou are here. Come and talk to me."

The girls who were originally surrounding the queen all stood up, saluted Nangong Yue, and then stepped away, leaving space for the two of them. Jiang Yixi is the Queen's niece, and Nangong Yue is the only princess in this dynasty with a fiefdom. Although the girls are a little envious of them being close to the Queen, they also know their identities.

Jiang Yiyou, who came with Jiang Yixi, frowned slightly. She is also the queen's niece, but every time the queen sees her, it is as if she has not seen her. It is not because she is a concubine! That was all before, but now that her eldest sister has done that, the Jiang family still has to rely on themselves if they want to get married! Otherwise, why would they be specially called here? It is obvious that they want to marry into the prince's clan.

Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi saluted the queen, sat down next to her, and talked with her.

The emperor gave the queen enough face. Today, only the emperor and the empress came to Yulin Palace, and no other concubines accompanied them.

Not long after, more and more girls arrived. Except for Jiang Yixi, several girls that Nangong Yue had befriended did not come this time. Instead, many concubines from various provinces came, and even Qiu Lie did not come with them. The concubine who went there must have been specially summoned by the emperor to the queen to be given to several princes as concubines.

Nangong Yue calmly turned her gaze to Bai Muxiao, who was sitting there with her eyes attentively, as if she didn't care about everything around her.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the queen said with a smile: "At this season every year, the peach blossoms in Yulin Palace are the most beautiful. I specially invite you to come and have a look this time. If nothing happens, just look around. Let’s take a stroll.”

The girls seemed to have thought of something, and a blush appeared on their faces. They stood up demurely, resigned to the queen, and exited the Peach Blossom Pavilion with the most perfect manners.

"Sister Xi." The queen said softly to Jiang Yixi, "You should go for a walk too. You must be bored staying in the house these days, so Yue Yatou can stay with me to talk. ”

Jiang Yixi felt blessed and said, "Yes." Then he also withdrew.

Nangong Yue knew that the Queen must have something to say if she left her behind. Sure enough, after Jiang Yihou went out, the Queen directly pulled her to sit next to her and teased with a smile: "Girl Yue, I am I heard that Brother Yi came here with you today. Could it be that Brother Yi went to Nangong Mansion to pick you up?"

Nangong Yue smiled and nodded, the tips of her ears turning slightly red.

"It would be great if you two can get along beautifully." The Queen patted the back of Nangong Yue's hand and said, "If Brother Yi doesn't miss you and will never leave you in the hunting palace in the future, you must come and tell him I, I will make the decision for you."

Nangong Yue was not shy at all, and thanked her frankly: "Thank you, Madam."

The queen liked her magnanimity and calmness very much, nodded with satisfaction, and changed the topic and said: "...It's a pity for your sister Xi. I regret now that I didn't arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty," Nangong Yue said bluntly, "From what Yue'er sees, this is also God's will. If Sister Xi really decides to get married early, it may not be a good thing."

The Queen sighed and said with some relief: "...No wonder Sister Xi and you are so close, you are the only one who would say such a thing to me."

Nangong Yue said unabashedly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor and Your Majesty granted Yue'er a marriage to A Yi. Naturally, I hope that Sister Xi will also get a good marriage."

The queen was silent for a while, seemed to have made up her mind, and asked directly: "I once heard that when Sister Xi was seriously ill, Brother Jun stayed outside the palace where she lived for several days. Yue Girl, tell me the truth, is this happening?"

Nangong Yue was slightly startled. Whether it was the inner palace or the harem, whether she was a wife or a concubine, some things she liked to say in roundabout ways. The Queen seemed to have accomplished something by asking about Jiang Yixi and Mr. Han so directly and calmly. What do they mean?

Thinking of this, Nangong Yue simply said without concealing anything: "It is true. Mr. Han was very worried about Sister Xi. After Sister Xi fell into a coma that day, Mr. Han even broke into the house regardless of the possibility of contracting the epidemic. ”

Nangong Yue paid attention to the queen's expression as she spoke, and was slightly relieved when she saw a hint of joy in her eyes.

Jiang Yixi is the eldest daughter of the Duke's palace. She was originally the best candidate for marriage, but now she has spoiled the heir. If she gets married again for the sake of marriage, she may not have a good life in the future. The queen obviously still felt sorry for her and wanted to find a good marriage for her, so that at least she wouldn't have too much misery in the second half of her life.

The queen nodded slowly, having already made a decision in her heart, she smiled and said to Nangong Yue: "You should also go to the Peach Blossom Forest for a walk, otherwise, I am afraid that Brother Yi will come to ask for someone from me. ”

Nangong Yue smiled sheepishly and said, "Then Yue'er will leave first."

The Peach Blossom Pavilion soon became quiet. The queen thought for a long time and said, "Aunt Gui, accompany me to the peach blossom forest."

Nanny Gui responded, helped the queen stand up, and left the Peach Blossom Pavilion.

Today is not only for the princes to choose concubines, but also for them to take concubines. Since ancient times, the emperor has married virtuous wives and taken concubines for sex. The emperor does not want to wrong his sons, but also hopes that they will be satisfied. It's just that men and women are on guard. Girls will still wear thin veils on their faces when visiting the peach blossom forest.

So, various encounters happened in the peach blossom forest.

Similarly, it also happened in the most remote corner of the peach blossom forest. I saw two graceful men and women standing face to face. The woman was wearing a long crimson skirt with large plum blossoms embroidered on the cuffs. Her skirt was decorated with Made of special materials, it looks particularly elegant and moves with the wind, making her as delicate and refined as a fairy descending into the mortal world.

Han Lingfu, who was wearing a moon-white robe, tall and tall, with a gentle face, looked at her intently, the admiration in his eyes obvious.

Every time I see Bai Muxiao, she will have a different style. Sometimes she is as flamboyant as a raging flame, sometimes as pure as a white lotus, and sometimes just like now, she is as ethereal as a fairy, and she can always be in Han Lingfu's. It left a deep mark on his heart, and he could no longer forget her.

"Xiao'er." Han Lingfu looked at her lovingly and tried to hold her hand, but Bai Muxiao broke away.

Bai Muxiao took a step back, looked directly at him and said, "Third Prince, please respect yourself."

"Xiao'er?" Han Lingfu asked in confusion, "Why are you doing this?"

Bai Muxiao stood proudly and said, "Your Highness, since you want to marry the princess, you don't need to have anything to do with me anymore." She came at Han Lingfu's appointment and just wanted to make things clear to him. . Bai Muxiao knew the purpose of coming to Yulin Palace today. He was about to marry his wife, and that person would definitely not be her.

Speaking of this matter, Han Lingfu was also slightly unhappy. If it weren't for the rumors in the market, how could the emperor have brought forward the adoption of the concubine?

"Xiao'er." Han Lingfu said with some disapproval, "How could you be so impatient and make this matter so public? If not for this, my father would not have decided on my marriage in a hurry."

Bai Muxiao looked at him in disbelief and blurted out: "Your Highness, you think that I am responsible for the rumors in the market?" She laughed sarcastically: "Your Highness really doesn't understand me, Bai Muxiao. ... Since you are with Your Highness, In your eyes, I am such a person, so we don’t need to mention the original agreement again!”

Bai Muxiao said, flicking his sleeves, turning around and leaving.

It's okay if others don't believe her. Unexpectedly, even Han Lingfu misunderstood her. In this case, it’s okay not to want this relationship!

When Han Lingfu saw this, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly stepped forward to hold her and said, "Xiao'er..."

Bai Muxiao struggled desperately, but couldn't get away from him, so she simply gave up, looked at him calmly, and said angrily: "What else do you want, Your Highness?"

"Xiao'er, I was wrong." Han Lingfu completely put down the prince's dignity and said, "I shouldn't have misunderstood you."

At this time, Han Lingfu also felt that he was too unworthy. Bai Muxiao was so noble, just like the snow lotus on the iceberg. He had begged for a long time before she agreed to become his concubine. How could she be like those Rouge fans usually do whatever they can to cling to the prince.

Bai Muxiao is a little soft-hearted. Han Lingfu is the prince, and his status has always been superior. However, in front of him, he has never put on any airs, and has always stood on an equal footing with himself. Bai Muxiao can be sure that he really likes her, but it's a pity that in the eyes of the world, they are not suitable for each other.

Bai Muxiao's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed softly and said, "Whether Your Highness believes it or not, I am not responsible for the rumors."

"I believe it." Han Lingfu said hurriedly, "Of course I believe you." As he said, he explained, "I was just too anxious. My father sent me to reprimand me the day before yesterday. After that, I I heard that the Queen has decided to go to Yulin Palace... Xiao'er, I really just want to marry you!"

Bai Muxiao said quietly: "Why bother, Your Highness? We are so incompatible..."

"No!" Han Lingfu said quickly, "Of course we are worthy, you believe me, even if my father proposes marriage this time, as long as we don't get married for one day... No, even if we get married, I will not give up. , I will let you marry me legitimately and become my concubine!"

"Your Highness." Bai Muxiao said righteously, "Xiao'er does not want to serve the same husband with others."

Han Lingfu's face darkened.

"Your Highness, Xiao'er is destined to have no connection with you."

Han Lingfu took her hand and said with a slight pleading, "Xiao'er, if you give me some more time, there will definitely be another way!"

Bai Muxiao lowered his head in silence, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

"Xiao'er, my love for you will never change."

Han Lingfu spoke tenderly and sweetly, and Bai Muxiao gradually softened her heart and couldn't help but give him a smile.

Neither of the two noticed that their every word and deed had fallen into the eyes of others. Not far away from them, Nangong Yue was watching the scene with relish, while Xiao Yi on the side was watching He looked at her face, reluctant to move his eyes.

Nangong Yue knew that the two would definitely meet privately in Yulin Palace, so she asked Xiao Yi to keep an eye on Han Lingfu for her. When she arrived, she happened to see Bai Muxiao express his unwillingness to serve with others. Kazuo, judging from this, the timing is just right now.

"Ayi." Nangong Yue pulled Xiao Yi's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

As long as Xiao Yi is with her, it doesn't matter where he goes.

The two left quietly, and thanks to Han Lingfu finding such a remote place, no one noticed their coming and going.

Nangong Yue blinked at Xiao Yi and said, "Do you know where the emperor is now?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "You come with me."

Xiao Yi didn't ask her why she wanted to trick the third prince, and he didn't care about her intentions at all, which made Nangong Yue feel very comfortable.

Nangong Yue had no intention of hiding it, and took the initiative to speak: "I ordered people to spread the rumors in the capital these days, and they are not false. Originally, I was too lazy to get involved in this matter, but, my white cousin In order to marry the third prince as his concubine, I wanted my eldest uncle to adopt her as his daughter. The Nangong family was already living in trepidation in the Dayu Dynasty, and such behavior would only make the emperor jealous. And..." She made no secret of it. He said, "I don't like the Third Prince and Bai Muxiao."

Xiao Yi has never taken Han Lingfu seriously, not to mention that he almost framed the stinky girl to get married. Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but secretly calculate how one day he would trick Han Lingfu again to make his stinky girl happy.

While the two were talking, they saw the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe admiring flowers with the queen not far away.

The two people walked over and saluted the emperor, and then heard the emperor say to the queen in a good mood: "Look, queen, these two children are really well matched."

The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's your choice for marriage."

The emperor laughed and said, "That's right. I really envy King Zhennan for having such a good daughter-in-law."

"Uncle Emperor." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "You will have your own daughter-in-law soon. My nephew just saw the third prince talking to a girl there, and they seemed to be a good match. ."

"Oh?" the emperor said with great interest, "Which girl is it?"

Xiao Yi said matter-of-factly: "How can my nephew recognize any other girl? A Yue will be unhappy!"

The emperor was slightly startled, then Long Yan laughed happily and said jokingly: "I didn't know that this Yue girl is still a Hedong lion."

Nangong Yue lowered her head shyly, and glared at Xiao Yi unconvinced. This childlike attitude made the emperor even more happy to see it, and she said in a good mood: "Queen, why don't you come and see it with me? Look, who is the girl who chatted happily with the Third Emperor'er? If it's suitable, just follow the Third Emperor's wish."

"Of course it's good." The queen agreed meekly, "Brother Yi and girl Yue will come with us for a walk."

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue naturally agreed and walked with them.

While talking, the emperor and his entourage walked towards the other side of the peach blossom forest. They did not expect to find Han Lingfu. After all, the peach blossom forest was so big that it would not be easy to meet by chance. With these two It’s not bad for children to enjoy flowers. However, under Xiao Yi's intentional or unintentional guidance, they still walked in the direction of Han Lingfu.

Not long after, through the dense peach blossom forest, the emperor took the lead in seeing Han Lingfu's back. Sure enough, he was with a girl.

The emperor was in a good mood, made a silent gesture toward the others, and walked over quietly.

Xiao Yi blinked at Nangong Yue, looking like he was begging for praise. Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, pulled his sleeve and shook it gently. Xiao Yi suddenly beamed.

"...Your Highness, if the emperor does not agree with your marriage, just give up. Even among the people, marriage is not a matter between two people, but a matter between two families." Bai Muxiao's voice accompanied The wind spread, "Xiao'er doesn't want this matter to affect His Highness's future."

"Xiao'er, you are so lucky to think about me!" Han Lingfu raised his voice slightly and said sincerely, "But I treat you just like you treat me, so how can I give up so easily?"

"Your Highness, please listen to Xiao'er." Bai Muxiao sighed softly and said, "The Emperor's favor is very important to Your Highness. It is not worth it to offend Long Yan just for Xiao'er."

"Of course it is worth it." Han Lingfu said affectionately, "Xiao'er, no matter what I do for you, it is worth it. Even if my father disagrees, I will not give up..."

"Won't you give up?"

The emperor's angry voice made the two of them startled. When they turned around, they realized that the emperor had arrived without knowing when, and they didn't know how much they had heard. Han Lingfu's face turned pale, and before he could speak, he saw the emperor looking at him angrily and saying, "Have you completely forgotten what I said to you the day before yesterday? Just for such a woman, you actually want to disobey me?"

Disobedience!

If he accepted this reputation, how could a prince who was personally criticized by the emperor as "disobedient" become a prince, or even ascend the throne as an emperor in the future?

Han Lingfu was completely panicked and hurriedly knelt down and said in panic: "I don't dare!"

Bai Muxiao also knelt beside Han Lingfu, lowered his head slightly and said nothing. She knew her identity, and at this time, she was not qualified to speak.

"Don't you dare? I think you are obsessed with this despicable woman and have turned a deaf ear to what I said!" The emperor's cold voice reached Bai Muxiao's ears, and her body was shaking slightly. The trembling was not because of Long Yan's anger and fear, but because of humiliation! She never thought that one day she would kneel on the ground so humbly and let others insult her without mercy. The emperor didn't even look at her, as if she was just a humble ant and was not taken seriously by him at all.

She thought her uncle's previous scolding was the ultimate level of humiliation, but compared with now, it was nothing.

In front of the royal family, her face and dignity are not worth mentioning at all!

"Please forgive me, father." Han Lingfu's forehead touched the ground, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

"Forgive me?" the emperor said with a sneer, "How do you want me to forgive you? In other words, what are you guilty of? You keep saying that it is worth doing anything for this woman, but I don't I agreed to your marriage, but why are you doing this?"

"Father."

After the initial panic, Han Lingfu quickly calmed down.

Obviously the emperor has heard what he said to Bai Muxiao. If he denies it blindly, it will only leave an impression in front of the emperor that he dares not do what he should do, which is not good. It’s better to admit it! Thinking of this, Han Lingfu raised his head, looked at the emperor in fear and said: "Father, I am guilty, but I am indeed happy with Miss Bai. I dare not deceive my father."

Bai Muxiao was a little stunned. She endured the humiliation and knelt here. She originally wanted to see what Han Lingfu would choose. She didn't even expect Han Lingfu to resist the emperor for her, but he did it. , he really had to do it! ... Bai Muxiao felt warm in her heart. For the first time, she felt that she shouldn't reject him repeatedly for the sake of identity, status, and the fact that she couldn't marry him as his first wife. Maybe she should step back and give their future a chance.

"Your Majesty." Bai Muxiao spoke, her voice soft but firm, "People's daughters know that people's daughters are not worthy, but emotional matters cannot be affected by identity and status. People's daughters..."

No matter how eloquent she was, the emperor was not willing to listen to another word, and ordered with a look of disgust: "Slap your mouth."

The waiter responded and stepped forward with a merciless slap.

Bah!

The soft and crisp voice sounded in Bai Muxiao's ears, which hurt her heart.

This is not just the pain in the cheek, but the pain all the way to the bones, flesh and blood, and soul...

Bai Muxiao bit her lower lip to prevent her tears from falling.

"Father." Seeing Bai Muxiao being beaten, Han Lingfu's heart ached. He walked forward on his knees, kowtowed heavily and said, "It's my fault. Please don't blame Miss Bai." ."

The emperor looked disappointed. He was disappointed that the prince he was proud of would fall in love with a girl whose status was obviously inconsistent with his. It was a taboo for a king to do something to her when he knew it was forbidden. However, the emperor was somewhat appreciative of his undeniable attitude. He thought that his son was just too young to be so easily obsessed.

The queen on the side looked at this scene and also noticed the change in the emperor's expression. She suddenly spoke to persuade: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The third emperor is still young after all. As the saying goes, 'If you know how to be lustful, you will admire Shaoai.' Wait. After we get married, everything will be fine." She said with gentleness to Han Lingfu who was kneeling on the ground, "Third Emperor, you are too ignorant. If you really like Miss Bai, please ask your father to grant her the gift of love. That’s it for you, why bother making it like this.”

The emperor frowned and said, "Queen, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty," the queen said with a smile, "Although Miss Bai has a low status, it is difficult for her to be the prince's official concubine, but she may be suitable as a side concubine."

The emperor said disdainfully, "For a little civilian girl to want to be the prince's concubine, she is simply overestimating her abilities."

Bai Muxiao's hands were clenched tightly into fists, and her rounded nails pressed firmly into her palms.

Every word spoken by the emperor and empress was like a knife cutting through her heart, causing her heart to bleed.

Are these the so-called nobles? In their eyes, I am so insignificant! Once upon a time, she didn't care about the so-called identity and status, and she once thought that she could get everything she wanted with her own wisdom and hands. However, now, this cruel reality is telling her that she is too naive!

Her cheeks hurt, but her heart hurt even more. Her dignity was being trampled on by them, peeled off layer by layer, and exposed.

"Your Majesty." The queen still said gently, "If a concubine is not suitable, why not take a concubine? The third emperor has grown up, and there must be someone around to serve him. Since the third emperor likes her so much, Just give her to the Third Emperor."

If she was just a concubine, her identity and status would not matter. The emperor thought for a moment and asked, "Xiaosan, do you really like her?"

"Yes, Father." Han Lingfu said sincerely, "My son is sincere to Miss Bai."

The emperor glanced at Bai Muxiao who was kneeling on the ground with disgust, and said casually: "In that case, I will make her my concubine to you. I will take her into the palace after you open a palace and marry the princess."

Concubine?

Bai Muxiao couldn't believe her ears.

Her life was decided so easily, and she was just a concubine? !

"No!" Bai Muxiao said reluctantly, "Your Majesty, how could you do this..."

"Huairen, I don't want to see her." The emperor interrupted her and ordered, "Take her down and let the Bai family discipline her well so that she will not cause trouble in the prince's backyard without knowing what to do in the future."

The emperor did not know that Bai Muxiao had returned to Nangong Mansion with her mother. She was busy with everything, so she had no time to care about where a little girl lived. The queen knew something about it, but she didn't intend to remind him. She just stood beside the emperor with a smile.

Eunuch Liu waved his hand, and two servants immediately came up, covered Bai Muxiao's lips and dragged her down, and soon disappeared into the peach blossom forest.

The corners of Nangong Yue's lips raised slightly. Bai Muxiao was so naive, so naive that he didn't even understand the distinction between superiority and inferiority! In her previous life, Han Lingfu protected her, but now Han Lingfu couldn't protect her at all!

Everything is different from the previous life!

Since Bai Muxiao doesn't want to be a concubine, let her have a taste of being a concubine!

The emperor glanced at Han Lingfu, who was still kneeling, and said to the queen: "Queen, go back to Peach Blossom Pavilion and decide on their marriage today."

The queen responded gently, "Yes."

The emperor and the queen returned to the Peach Blossom Pavilion, while Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue went to the Peach Blossom Forest with their acquiescence.

Not long after, after the emperor and empress had reached a consensus, a palace maid summoned the girl, the prince, and the clan back in the peach blossom forest.

The emperor issued an order on the spot and appointed a principal concubine and a side concubine for each of the three princes. He also selected two concubines for each of the three princes. Even Han Lingfu was no exception. The emperor did not give Bai Muxiao to Bai Muxiao. He, and reduced the number of his concubines.

Then the emperor looked at Han Huaijun with a smile and said: "...and Brother Jun, you have reached the marriageable age, how about I point you to the queen's niece, Sister Xi?"

The emperor was startled when he heard that the queen wanted to allocate Jiang Yixi to Han Huaijun. After all, Han Huaijun was just a concubine, but considering that the two of them were indeed talented and beautiful, he readily agreed.

Han Huaijun's face showed unspeakable joy. He stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Han Huaijun, thanks the Emperor for his kindness."

The emperor smiled heartily, looked at Jiang Yixi again and said, "Sister Xi, are you willing?"

Jiang Yixi has feelings for Han Huaijun, but she knows that her children are in trouble, so how can she harm him... She hesitated for a moment, and was about to stand up, but Jiang Yiyou, who was sitting next to her, took a step forward and said with a look on her face He held her hand in panic and said, "Sister, you must not be confused. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The queen suddenly felt something was wrong and was about to speak, but the emperor stopped her and frowned: "What did you say?"

Jiang Yiyou seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and said at a loss: "My daughter, my daughter..."

"Say!"

Jiang Yiyou immediately knelt down in fear and said hesitantly: "I dare not deceive the emperor. My eldest sister has lost her health due to the epidemic. Her heirs will be difficult in the future. How can she be worthy of the clan... If I can't hide it... Retribution, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Jiang Yiyou's voice was like thunder on the ground, ringing in the ears of everyone in Taohua Pavilion.
