www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The peace talks between Dayu and Baiyue have started again after being stagnant for several months, and they are progressing very smoothly.
Under the leadership of An Yihou Guan Yubai, the Baiyue envoys repeatedly agreed to various conditions proposed by Dayu, and the peace talks began at an unprecedented speed.
The emperor was also very satisfied with this. After Guan Yubai made the Baiyue envoys docile, the emperor finally summoned the Baiyue prince Kuilang who was in prison.
Kui Lang, who had taken a hasty bath and changed into a brand new robe, walked stiffly into the imperial study.
The emperor looked at Kui Lang calmly, with the arrogance of a superior.
Kui Lang met the emperor's eyes for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully. He took a deep breath, knelt down in humiliation, and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.
"See His Majesty Emperor Dayu, long live long live!"
Kui Lang respectfully laid his forehead on the cold marble floor. This was Dayu's most prudent etiquette, a gift from the emperor and his ministers, and represented Kui Lang's determination to surrender to Emperor Dayu.
The corners of the emperor's mouth slightly curled up behind the case, and his eyes couldn't hide the satisfaction. Kui Lang has his day too!
Back when Kui Lang led hundreds of troops to defeat the Southern Xinjiang Army and lost several cities, the people were displaced and the war became urgent. At that time, how could Kui Lang have thought that he would be where he is today! Now Kuilang, without Baiyue's support, is just a tiger with its teeth pulled out!
The emperor felt happy and said calmly: "No courtesy."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor Dayu." Kui Lang stood up slowly and stiffly. While standing up, he clenched his fists tightly, then bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor Dayu." , I... I am asking to see Your Majesty this time to express my sincerity. From now on, on behalf of Baiyue, I surrender to Dayu and abide by Your Majesty as the emperor!"
Although it was just a few words, for Kui Lang, it almost exhausted all his strength.
He is unwilling, he is unwilling, but he has no other choice.
There is an ancient story in Dayu called "Sleeping on firewood and tasting gallbladder", which tells the story of King Gou Jian of Yue, who worked hard to conquer Wu by lying down on firewood and tasting gallbladder.
Since the King of Yue can do it, so can Kui Lang!
A moment of humiliation is nothing, a moment of patience is nothing, and a moment of torture is nothing. Since Dayu spared his life, it means that he is still valuable, and he also needs Dayu's strength. Come to take back his country, they are just mutually beneficial!
When he takes back what originally belonged to him in the future, then...
Kui Lang thought through gritted teeth, using a bow gesture to block his wolf-like eyes.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction and said repeatedly: "Okay! Okay!"
Of course the emperor also knew that Kuilang was ambitious and would never surrender sincerely, but now he could only use Kuilang to contain Nuhar and Baiyue. As long as Baiyue fights internally, his vitality will inevitably be severely damaged, and then Dayu will be able to enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman.
The emperor smiled and said again: "Kui Lang, please go to Wuyi Pavilion and take a good rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The transfer from the Penal Department Prison to the Wuyi Pavilion meant that Kui Lang changed from a "prisoner" to a "guest". Even the Jin Yiwei who brought him here was very polite to him and personally sent him to the Wuyi Pavilion.
On the same day, the emperor made a decree to hold a palace banquet in the palace tomorrow to celebrate that the peace talks between Dayu and Baiyue had finally reached an agreement.
The decree spread to all the palaces of the third-rank and above princes and ministers in the royal capital in an instant, and naturally also reached the Zhennan Palace.
After sending away the **** who delivered the oral instructions, Xiao Yi returned to Fufengyuan with a complex expression. Nangong Yue also knew the emperor's will from the servants and vaguely guessed something.
After shooing away the maid, they were the only ones left in the inner room.
Xiao Yi knew that he was one step closer to his goal. Now he was only one step away from his goal. The two of them could go home!
However, this also means that his stinky girl has to leave her home, the place she is familiar with, and the people she is familiar with...
"Smelly girl, I'm sorry." Xiao Yi hugged Nangong Yue's slender waist, rested his chin on her thin shoulder, and said in an almost coquettish tone.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm sorry a million times, but he doesn't want to be separated from her!
Xiao Yi hugged Nangong Yue harder and harder, and said to himself in his heart: Smelly girl, I will definitely treat you well and reconcile well...for the sake of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and for the sake of my uncle, I’ll be kind to you for everyone’s sake! I will never let you regret marrying me!
Nangong Yue patted his back gently, one after another, trying to calm his emotions... But in the end, he actually hugged him and refused to let go!
Nangong Yue was just thinking about how to trick him into letting go of his hands, when she heard the voice of a magpie saluting from outside the house: "I've seen a big girl before."
This was followed by Xiao Fei's voice: "Que'er, is sister-in-law here?"
Quie'er hesitated for a moment and said implicitly: "Miss, the prince is here too."
It was quiet outside for a while, and Xiao Fei said again: "Then I will come see my sister-in-law later."
Nangong Yue patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and motioned for him to let her go.
Xiao Yi still wanted to cheat, and he completely disliked Xiao Fei in his heart. This girl Xiao Fei is really annoying. She is a stinky girl who pesters him all day long!
While thinking, he finally let go of Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue straightened her clothes a little and walked out of the inner room quickly: "Sister Fei!"
"Sister-in-law!"
Xiao Fei, who had already stepped out with one foot, turned back in surprise and saw Nangong Yue lifting the curtain and walking out of the inner room with a smile. Her face seemed to be more rosy than usual, as if she were the most delicate girl in spring. The peach blossoms made her couldn't help but take another look.
"Sister Fei," Nangong Yue affectionately took Xiao Fei on her arm and went to the small study, "I just have something to tell you. There is a palace banquet tomorrow. Your eldest brother and I will go to the palace early in the morning. We got up early. , please don’t come over to have breakfast with us, just hide away and sleep a little longer.”
Xiao Fei nodded, and then said seriously: "Instead of sleeping a little longer, I might as well get up early and study! My memory is better in the morning..."
Huamei, who was following them, shook his head silently. The eldest girl’s temperament really puts her at a disadvantage among people she doesn’t know well! It’s really too “upright”!
The day passed quickly with the two of them dancing and writing.
The next day, Nangong Yue had to get up before dawn in order to put on the imperial concubine's makeup.
Looking at Nangong Yue’s sleepy face, Xiao Yi felt a little distressed. On the other hand, she comforted herself by saying that when they returned to southern Xinjiang, the stinky girl would no longer have to get up early in the morning to wear heavy makeup or attend court meetings. Congratulations on the palace banquet!
However, speaking of it, this palace banquet actually has something to do with me...
Thinking about it, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a little guilty, so he became more attentive, gentle, and thoughtful. Que'er and Huamei almost thought that their jobs were going to be taken away by the prince.
Although they got up early, it was already bright by the time the two carriages and horses drove out of the Zhennan Palace. The palace was not far from the palace, but the procedures for entering the palace were cumbersome. More than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and at half past hour, they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony under the guidance of palace officials.
The couch tables for sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony are all set up. At first glance, they are densely packed and neat, and each one looks like it was measured with a ruler.
At this time, many officials and female relatives had already arrived in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. They sat down in their respective seats under the guidance of the palace officials.
Before Nangong Yue's seat was warmed up, she heard a commotion in front of her. Many people in the hall looked towards the door. Nangong Yue also subconsciously looked up and saw a few familiar faces. The figure walked into the hall.
The palace was quiet for a while, and then everyone started whispering among themselves:
"It's His Highness the Third Prince!"
"But why is he here? Didn't the emperor confine His Highness the Third Prince and not allow him to leave the prince's residence?"
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince certainly does not have the courage to disobey the Holy Will. Is this trend going to change again?"
"..."
While everyone was speculating, a woman in green clothes suddenly pointed to a woman in a pink skirt behind her and said, "Look, the one with blue eyes is the one in the rumors?"
"It must be the Baiyue saint wearing clothes!"
The two sentences immediately diverted many people's attention to Chen Yi. At this moment, Wei Yi was following the third prince's concubine Cui Yanyan slowly and with low eyebrows, except for those blue eyes. , is really no different from other Dayu women.
But Nangong Yue's eyes fell on Bai Muxiao on the other side, paused for a moment, and then quickly moved away. In fact, whether Bai Muxiao comes or not has nothing to do with him.
The woman in green clothes said again: "Mrs. Huang, do you think the emperor was angry with the Third Prince because of Baiyue?"
"I don't think it's possible." Another woman hurriedly agreed, "Otherwise, how could His Highness the Third Prince agree to attend the palace banquet as soon as the peace talks were finalized?"
Anyway, the matter was of no concern, and everyone became more and more enthusiastic as they talked. On the other side, the second prince Han Lingguan had a complicated expression. He had spent all his efforts and efforts to get the third emperor's brother into the trap. His father disliked the Third Emperor's brother, but he didn't expect that the Third Emperor's brother seemed to be "resurrected" in a blink of an eye, but he himself was scolded by his father...
The more Han Lingguan thought about it, the more unhappy he became, when he saw the third prince and his party walking towards him.
"Second Emperor Brother!" Han Lingfu bowed his hands to Han Lingguan seemingly affectionately as a courtesy, "Long time no see, Second Emperor Brother, how are you doing recently?"
This seemingly ordinary greeting always sounded meaningful to Han Lingguan at this moment. Several guesses came to mind at that moment: Han Lingfu was just a simple greeting, or was he mocking himself for being punished by his father, or was he What did he know?
No, you can't mess up your position!
Han Lingguan calmed down, stood up, and returned the gift with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Three Emperors, for your care. I can live well as a brother."
"Brother Second Emperor, please don't report good news or bad news!" Han Lingfu was still smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone, "I heard that Brother Second Emperor was recuperating in the mansion before. He must be unwell, right? Second Brother The emperor brother still listened to the younger brother's advice, as the saying goes: 'karma is a cycle, retribution is not good', it is better to accumulate some virtue when doing things! Second emperor brother, don't you think so?"
Han Lingguan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Han Lingfu still knew.
But so what?
He smiled softly and said calmly: "Thank you, Brother Three Emperors, for your concern. If Brother Three Emperors wants to talk to Brother Wei about how to behave, I'm afraid today is not suitable. How about visiting Brother Three Emperors at his house another day? ?"
Han Lingfu keenly caught the flash of strange color in Han Lingguan's eyes, and the suspicions he had been having these days were finally confirmed.
Since Xiao'er returned to his home, he and Xiao'er have reviewed everything that happened during that time together several times, and they soon determined that he must have been set up!
Needless to say, his uncle Pingyang Hou must have played an extremely important role in it, and there must be someone behind Pingyang Hou who was leading all of this.
The eldest prince, the second prince, or the fifth prince and the queen?
After much thought and careful consideration, he and Xiaoer locked the second prince!
However, he really has no solid evidence... Who knows, God will help him. The peace talks between Dayu and Baiyue finally made progress after a year of intermittent progress. In order to show his sincerity to Kuilang, the father, I was specifically allowed to bring my clothes to attend this palace banquet. When the decree arrived at the third prince's residence, Han Lingfu was determined to use this palace banquet to test his second prince brother.
At the moment of confirmation, Han Lingfu almost couldn't control the overwhelming anger in his heart. Fortunately, Bai Muxiao behind him had the quick eyesight and gently pulled his sleeve, finally calming him down in time.
Yes, a little impatience will mess up a big plan!
This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Today, civil and military officials from all over the dynasty will bring their families to attend this palace banquet. If something happens, the father will be furious...
Have you not learned enough lessons?
Han Lingfu looked at Han Lingguan deeply and said meaningfully: "The second emperor brother is right, the future will be long!" After saying that, he cupped his hands and followed the palace people with Cui Yanyan and his party. He sat down behind the couch beside him.
Although the second prince and the third prince only exchanged a few words of homely greetings, the lightning and thunder between the two could not be ignored even by onlookers. Everyone in the palace was confused and confused. , many people were secretly whispering to each other and acquaintances, speculating on what was going on.
When did the second prince and the third prince confront each other?
Could it be related to the third prince being imprisoned?
Although there were many doubts in everyone's minds, no one dared to approach the second and third princes to inquire. Once this matter concerns the royal family, it is better to be careful and avoid suspicion, otherwise they might get involved inexplicably. It’s not worth the loss!
A small commotion was temporarily suppressed before it caused any waves... Soon, more and more courtiers came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, including the eldest prince and his wife, the fifth prince, An Yihou, Qi Hou, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Wang... As there were more people in the palace, everyone's attention was diverted. They started chatting and socializing with each other, and the atmosphere in the palace became more and more lively.
When the hour came, I heard a shrill voice from the little chamberlain: "The Queen has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
Everyone in the hall stood up and bowed to wait. The emperor ascended the throne majestically, and the queen sat down on the phoenix throne next to him. Then, everyone in the palace knelt down and saluted: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress is a thousand years old!"
"Flat body!"
The emperor looked down at the ministers with bright eyes and full of energy. It seemed that he was in a good mood today.
The dispute between Dayu and Baiyue finally found a more satisfactory solution, which can be regarded as solving a major problem of the emperor!
After everyone in the palace took their seats again, the young chamberlain cleared his throat and announced again in a sharp voice: "It has been reported that Prince Kui Lang of Baiyang and all the envoys have come to visit!"
In the eyes of everyone, Kui Lang led Ata Chi and other envoys into the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Then in full view of the crowd, Kui Lang once again knelt three times and kowtowed to the emperor nine times.
This action not only has special significance to the emperor, but also the ministers on the side are also excited. Kuilang represents the Baiyue royal family, and his surrender symbolizes Baiyue's surrender to Dayu!
The emperor raised his hand with a smile and said: "Your Highness Kui Lang, without any courtesy, would like to grant you a seat!" The emperor's offer of a seat also showed that he accepted Kui Lang's surrender.
After Kuilang, Dadachi and other envoys thanked them and took their seats, the emperor said loudly: "My dear lords, today's banquet is to celebrate the restoration of the old relationship between Dayu and Baiyue. Come, let's raise a toast together. , no need to stick to etiquette!"
The emperor drank it all in one gulp, and all the ministers praised the emperor for his wisdom and martial prowess, and for the prosperity of the country...
As people drank and drank, the atmosphere became more and more lively...
After three rounds of drinking, the emperor's face was already flushed with alcohol. The queen on the side frowned slightly, and was thinking about whether to give some advice, when she saw a young chamberlain outside the palace suddenly ran in in a hurry, panting. Shouting: "Your Majesty, three thousand miles urgent! Three thousand miles urgent from southern Xinjiang!"
Suddenly, the entire palace fell silent. The three thousand miles rush must be a major event that can shock the entire Dayu, and it will most likely be two extremes, either extremely happy or extremely sad.
The question is, what big happy event can happen in southern Xinjiang that needs to be rushed three thousand miles away?
Thinking of this, everyone in the palace had a vague premonition. Even Kuilang secretly exchanged a look with Atachi, fearing that this matter might have something to do with Baiyue... Thinking of this , Kui Lang was extremely anxious, feeling as if his whole body was being roasted on a fire.
At first glance, this huge Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of people. Probably only Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai could guess what was going on.
The most important "south wind" they have been waiting for has finally arrived!
After planning for so long and exhausting all my energy, it all depends on this moment!
Eunuch Liu took the official document presented by the young chamberlain, and then carefully presented it to the emperor.
The emperor quickly opened the official document sealed with fire paint and glanced at it. His face turned pale and his body shook slightly.
Eunuch Liu saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly touched the emperor's heart and advised: "Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body!"
The queen hurriedly walked to the emperor's side, asked for help, and asked the imperial doctor to be sent to him.
There is no need to ask, and there is no need for the emperor to say anything else. What he said in a hurry from three thousand miles away from southern Xinjiang is definitely not a good thing.
This year seems destined to be uneventful. The previous turmoil between Lu Shoufu, Gong Zongbing and the remnants of the previous dynasty has not completely subsided, but now there is another incident in southern Xinjiang?
The ominous premonition in the hearts of the officials in the palace became stronger. For a moment, it seemed as if there was a dark cloud hanging over everyone, making everyone breathless...
After a while, the emperor finally regained his breath, although his face was still a little unsightly. Emperor Huo Di stood up and said in a deep voice: "Where are the Prince of Zhennan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Marquis of An Yi, the Marquis of Wei Yang, and the General Zhu..."
The emperor reported a series of names. Although he did not know what was going on, most officials had already guessed from the official positions of these people that Southern Xinjiang was afraid that they would start another war.
Xiao Yi and all the people whose names were pointed out by the emperor all stood up and bowed in anticipation: "I am here!"
"Follow me to the Imperial Study Room!"
After saying this, the emperor stood up in a hurry. Regardless of what the ministers in the palace thought, he strode away directly, as anxious as a gust of wind.
Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai, Chen Shangshu and others also immediately took the lead in exiting the Hall of Supreme Harmony under the guidance of the chamberlain.
For a while, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent, and the original festive atmosphere was gone.
The emperor left suddenly and the situation was unclear. Naturally, the palace banquet could not continue. The queen casually said a few polite words and let the ministers disperse.
Everyone hurriedly left the palace, thinking that when Chen Shangshu and An Yihou came out of the imperial study, they must find out what happened in southern Xinjiang...
In recent years, Dayu has continued to fight, first with Xirong, and later with Beidi, and Southern Xinjiang... Finally, the war calmed down, and the people in the border areas began to cultivate their health. Could it be that they have been peaceful for a year? Will the war begin again?
Outside the palace, all the ministers felt heavy.
