The Favoured Medical Princess: 426 Enchanting

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

After all these plain-grained stickers were stamped with the seal of "Bixiao Hall", they were handed over to the office and dispersed to various prefectures...

These posts are like pebbles dropped into a lake, creating ripples in circles.

After receiving the post, every government almost exploded.

Since little Fang went to Mingqing Temple to pray for blessings more than a year ago, and Concubine Wei began to give gifts in the palm of her hand, the palace has never entertained guests. Although Mrs. Wei is a second-grade concubine, she is also a concubine and a concubine. She dare not and cannot invite guests to a banquet. Even if Mrs. Wei did so, which main wife would be stupid enough to come to socialize with a concubine? !

Therefore, after the Crown Princess returned to southern Xinjiang with the Crown Prince Xiao Yi, all the palaces were waiting for the Zhennan Palace to hold a banquet to formally introduce the Crown Princess to everyone.

But what they didn't expect was that before they waited for Xiao Fang's post, they got the post from the Crown Princess first!

No, Mrs. Tian from General Tian's Mansion was a little embarrassed as soon as she received the post.

What on earth is going on?

Why are you posting in the name of Crown Princess?

After thinking about it again and again, Mrs. Tian went to Mrs. Tian’s yard and presented the post sent by the Crown Princess to Mrs. Tian.

"Mother," Mrs. Tian looked at Mrs. Tian and said hesitantly, "I heard that since my wife went to Mingqing Temple to pray for blessings in the palace last year, Concubine Wei has been presiding over the blessings for more than a year. Now the crown prince The concubine sent this post...could it be said that the prince concubine is now the head of the palace?"

Mrs. Tian, ​​who was sitting on the Taishi chair, took the post and glanced at it. Her eyes stayed on the chapter of the post for a moment, then she closed it and muttered: "It's hard to say. Concubine Wei was originally ordered to be the head of the family. But. The Crown Princess is the Princess of Yaoguang who has been granted the royal title by the Emperor. Even her marriage was granted by the Emperor, and she is deeply favored by the Emperor."

Mrs. Tian is in a bit of a dilemma. The situation in the palace is unclear now. The Crown Princess posted this post. Should she go or not? If the imperial concubine made the post without permission, wouldn't they offend Xiao Fang if they went to the appointment?

Mrs. Tian probably also saw what Mrs. Tian was thinking, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Boss, wife, do you know what the relationship between your father and the prince is like?"

Mrs. Tian was startled. The entire southern Xinjiang knew that Tian He was close to the crown prince Xiao Yi, and they followed the crown prince's lead.

Mrs. Tian’s eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

Yes, since father-in-law Tian He has made it clear to the outside world that he will follow the crown prince Xiao Yi, then naturally they must unite the front at home.

It’s not like the men outside are looking towards the Crown Prince, while they in the inner courtyard are looking after Xiao Fang, right?

Pleasing both sides is not a joke to outsiders!

Mrs. Tian respectfully blessed Mrs. Tian and said sincerely: "Thank you, mother, for the advice."

Not to mention what Beifu thinks, for their Tian family, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the palace. Now that the Crown Princess has given the invitation, the Tian Mansion will always give the Crown Princess this face. They must go to this banquet!

After thinking about it, Mrs. Tian's mind was made up, and she casually chatted with Mrs. Tian about daily life.

For other royal princes like Tian Mansion, they will definitely go to this banquet. The ones who are really hesitant are those mansions that have not expressed their stance. They are afraid that if they go, they will offend Zhennan Wang and his wife, and they are afraid if they don't go. It made the prince unhappy... These people couldn't make up their minds for a long time, so they quietly went to inquire about the current situation of Zhennan Palace, only to learn that the palace was still headed by Concubine Wei.

The result of the investigation only made them more hesitant. Is it better to go or not to go? !

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have posed a huge problem for them!

Of course Nangong Yue knew what kind of waves her post would cause. It should be said that this was originally her way out.

The banquet day is set for May 28th. After all, there are only about ten days left.

Bixiao Hall has not had a mistress for a long time, and she has not brought many maids and wives from the royal capital. It is not easy to use them, and she has to do many things by herself. For a while, Nangong Yue was so busy that she felt dizzy. of.

It was such a busy few days.

On this day, while she was looking at the banquet menu that had just been drawn up in the small kitchen, Concubine Wei came to tell someone that Mrs. Qiao was here.

Mrs. Qiao is the eldest sister of Zhennan King and Xiao Yi's aunt. Her husband's family is in Li County.

She is an elder after all. Since Mrs. Qiao has come to the palace, Nangong Yue should go and say hello.

It’s just that the timing is interesting...

As far as Nangong Yue knows, Mrs. Qiao is the eldest daughter of Prince Nan and his wife in the old town. When she was young, the Xiao family was not in such a good situation. It could only be said to be an ordinary military household. The old prince led troops to fight outside. She stayed at home with the old princess and her younger siblings. She had a bit of a shrewd temperament and always spoke the truth. The King of Zhennan had listened to this eldest sister's words since he was a child.

Across the small garden from Bixiaotang is the flower hall at the other end of the palace. At this moment, the doors and windows of the flower hall are wide open, and two women are sitting. The younger one is naturally the concubine Wei, and the older one is That one was both unfamiliar and familiar. She seemed to be in her forties, elegant and elegant, and her face was 45% similar to that of King Zhennan, especially the haughty temperament at the corner of her mouth.

Nangong Yue's eyes passed over Mrs. Qiao without leaving a trace, and then rested on the four maids behind her wearing pink skirts. They were all fifteen or sixteen years old, all with enchanting figures and extraordinary looks!

Nangong Yue’s lips curved slightly and she walked in calmly.

At the same time, Mrs. Qiao was also looking at Nangong Yue with a critical look. She saw Nangong Yue wearing a rose red peony dress embroidered with gold thread, which made her skin color crystal clear and girlish. Unique beauty.

Seeing Nangong Yue coming, Concubine Wei bowed and said with a smile: "Concubine, this is my aunt."

Nangong Yue walked into the hall unhurriedly, her manners were dignified, and even the jade pendant on her skirt did not waver at all. She walked to Mrs. Qiao and followed her. She turned sideways and said, "My nephew-in-law, please say hello to my aunt!"

Mrs. Qiao didn't call her, nor did she give her a greeting gift. Nangong Yue suddenly felt clear about her intentions and straightened up.

Mrs. Qiao frowned in displeasure when she saw this. This imperial concubine believed that she was a princess granted by the emperor, so she didn't take their elders seriously. She was simply disrespectful.

Mrs. Qiao sneered: "The Crown Princess is really a busy person."

"Thank you for your care, aunt. I'm a little busy these days." Nangong Yue said as she walked to the opposite side of Mrs. Qiao and sat down on her own.

Mrs. Qiao picked up the tea cup on the side, took a sip, and said with a sneer: "The Crown Princess will be hosting a banquet in Bixiaotang in a few days. She is indeed very busy."

Mrs. Qiao received the post the day before yesterday. When she found out that the post was sent by Bixiaotang in her own name, she became angry.

This niece-in-law is so unruly!

She immediately rushed to Luo Yuecheng from Li County and summoned Nangong Yue directly, intending to teach her a lesson herself.

Nangong Yue nodded with a smile, "Auntie is right."

Looking at her calm look, Mrs. Qiao became angry and said angrily: "Concubine, it stands to reason that you are from the Nangong family and you should be familiar with the training of women. The emperor also named you Yaoguang. Princess, of course you have learned the rules very well. Why did you act like this this time and even hold a banquet in Bixiaotang's own name? Don't forget, your father, the queen, and your mother are all here! Even if you want to have a banquet, This should be a post from Zhennan Palace."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qiao placed her palm heavily on the table beside her, and scolded sternly: "Could it be that just because you are the Royal Princess of Yaoguang and have been granted a marriage by the Emperor? So you can make your own decisions and ignore the rules of the palace?"

From the beginning to the end, Nangong Yue's face remained as usual, with a smile on her lips.

She straightened her back, looked directly at Mrs. Qiao and said, "Auntie, you are serious! I consider myself to be cautious in my words and deeds, and I have never failed to live up to the expectations of the Emperor and the Queen."

This is really confusing right and wrong! Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she almost lost her breath and sneered: "Prince Princess, you went beyond your husband's elders and held a banquet and sent out invitations. Are you still reasonable?"

Nangong Yue responded calmly: "Aunt, my grandparents set up a special ceremonial gate for Bixiaotang, so that the prince can handle the affairs of Bixiaotang independently. When my grandmother and mother-in-law were alive, mother-in-law and concubine were also the subordinates. Posted by someone who entertained guests at the Bixiao Hall. My aunt will never forget it."

An old lady behind Mrs. Qiao quickly lowered her voice and reminded Mrs. Qiao in her ear.

Mrs. Qiao then remembered that that year, not long after the wedding of Prince Zhennan and the Dafang family, the old King Zhennan opened the Bixiaotang for them. Banquet, she naturally received posts.

After more than ten years, she had completely forgotten about this incident!

Mrs. Qiao clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves and was speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was a bit stiff, and no one spoke for a while. Concubine Wei was beside her and her scalp was numb. Neither Madam Qiao nor the Crown Princess could be offended by a concubine like her.

Ms. Wei quietly winked at the maid beside her, and soon a maid came in holding several plates of fruit.

Shi Wei smiled and said: "Prince Princess, these are the lychees your aunt brought today. They are fresh, sweet and juicy. Try them quickly and take a few baskets back to Bixiaotang later."

Mrs. Wei was kind enough to calm down the atmosphere, and Nangong Yue was not an ignorant person, so she cooperated and said: "I have heard from the Crown Prince that the lychees in southern Xinjiang are delicious, and I am finally in luck today." After saying that, She bowed and thanked Mrs. Qiao, "Thank you very much, aunt."

Mrs. Qiao suppressed her anger and reminded herself of the purpose of coming this time.

This kind of new daughter-in-law thinks she is favored, so she is so arrogant that she does not take her elders seriously. She dares to hold a private banquet today. Will she encourage the prince to separate the family in the future? If you don't suppress her submissively, you won't be able to do it again in the future.

Thinking of this, she forced a smile and said, "Although it is too early for the Crown Princess to thank you, as my aunt, I do have a gift to give to the Crown Princess today."

As she spoke, she made a gesture and said bossily to the four maids behind her: "Why don't you guys hurry up and say hello to the Crown Princess!"

The four maids walked out of the queue, walked up to Nangong Yue, and bowed to her respectfully.

Nangong Yue picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened and used the lid to remove the foam. She neither responded nor asked the four maids to get up.

A flash of displeasure flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes, and she said in a bad tone: "Although the Crown Princess has just arrived in southern Xinjiang, she has been married to Ayi for several years, right?"

Nangong Yue said calmly: "Going back to my aunt, it should be a year and a half ago."

"It's been a year and a half." Mrs. Qiao sighed and said righteously, "Prince Princess, don't think that I, as an aunt, talk too much. As a woman, I should be generous and virtuous, help It is a woman's duty to help her husband's family flourish. Concubine, you and A Yi are not very old, so I shouldn't have urged you..." As she spoke, she glanced at Nangong Yue's abdomen. , that look seems to be saying, you've been here for a year and a half, why haven't you seen any movement in your stomach yet? !

Nangong Yue smiled. Although she was not a hairpin, others probably didn't know that she and Xiao Yi had not yet consummated their marriage. But even so, for a married aunt to take charge of the affairs of her nephew's room, she must have stretched her hand too far.

Ms. Wei had long been speculating about why Mrs. Qiao brought four enchanting maids. She thought they were going to give them to King Zhennan, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Qiao was actually targeting the prince.

Mrs. Qiao really doesn’t understand the prince’s temperament at all!

Ms. Wei sighed in her heart and hurriedly smiled and said: "Auntie, grandma, the Crown Princess is still young..."

Seeing that Nangong Yue was still smiling, Mrs. Qiao could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She interrupted Madam Wei directly and snorted coldly: "The Crown Princess can afford to wait, but our Xiao family cannot afford to wait. ! Concubine, our Xiao family has very few heirs. In A Yi's generation, there are only two boys, A Yi and his younger brother. As an aunt, I am really worried for the Xiao family!"

She pointed at the four maids, "As the saying goes, gifts from elders cannot be denied. These four girls were carefully selected by my aunt. They are all good at giving birth and are very well-behaved. Today, I will give them to my nephew. Daughter-in-law. You take her back and let Ayi take over the house. If you are lucky enough to have a son and a half, I will have to call you mother."

Nangong Yue looked at her calmly, with a decent smile on her face, and said, "Aunt, are you done?"

Mrs. Qiao's face turned cold, but she saw Nangong Yue's clear black eyes looking towards her. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but she felt a chill in her heart.

Nangong Yue looked at Mrs. Qiao with a pair of black eyes and said, "My aunt is so kind, please forgive me for not accepting this."

Calling herself from "I" to "this princess", Nangong Yue seemed to have broken away from her status as a junior and sat here with the dignity of a superior princess.

Although Mrs. Qiao is the legitimate daughter of King Zhennan, she was born early and grew up in the countryside. That is to say, she became the noble legitimate daughter of the royal family only after King Zhennan was granted the title of vassal queen. . At this time, sitting in front of Nangong Yue, who had a natural bearing, she unconsciously seemed to be shorter.

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Qiao slapped the table, looked at her angrily, and said forcefully, "Do you have any rules at all to dare to talk to me like this?"

Nangong Yue would naturally not express her gratitude with a virtuous expression to her cheap aunt who came here out of nowhere. With a smile on her lips, she looked at her with a little pity and said: "...I'm afraid my aunt doesn't know something, Xun The inheritance of descendants of noble families is different from that of direct descendants."

Just four words, "There is a difference between concubines and concubines" are enough to explain everything.

No matter how many concubines there are, they are not as noble as a legitimate son. What’s more, there is an iron law in all dynasties: “Concubines are not allowed to take the title.”

Mrs. Qiao indeed forgot that her younger brother was the eldest son. When her father was granted the title of vassal queen, she directly asked him to be crowned prince. Now in the palace, Xiao Yi and Xiao Luan are both legitimate sons, and there is no aunt or concubine in her own palace. How can she still remember the saying that "a concubine cannot take the title".

However, if she doesn’t remember, what does Nangong Yue mean by saying this? Is he mocking her for not knowing the rules and having no knowledge?

Mrs. Qiao's face became a little colder and she said, "It's just one or two concubines. Isn't it possible that the imperial concubine can't tolerate them?"

Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup leisurely, took a sip of tea, and said: "...Eight years ago, there was a case of brothers fighting for the title in the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion. The old Marquis of Chengyi died suddenly in his prime, leaving only one The second brother of the old Marquis of Chengyi, claiming that a concubine had no right to inherit the title, wrote a letter to the clan, asking that the title be inherited by his second wife. This lawsuit lasted for two years, and the relationship between relatives was lost. The scandals were publicized one after another, and finally the late emperor became so angry that he demoted Marquis Chengyi to Uncle Chengyi."

Nangong Yue spoke so clearly that Mrs. Qiao naturally understood the underlying meaning. This imperial concubine was alluding to the fact that she was helping Xiao Luan, so she wanted to disrupt Xiao Yi's inner courtyard...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao's chest felt tight and her face turned dark.

Nangong Yue seemed to think this was not enough. She looked at Mrs. Qiao again with a half-smile, and said pointedly: "Aunt, the indistinguishability between legitimate children and concubines is the source of chaos in the family. My aunt is so virtuous, I don't know how many people there are in the house. Concubine?" She didn't expect to get an answer, so she stood up gracefully and said: "Aunt, I still have some trivial matters to attend to for Bixiaotang's middle minister, so I'll leave first."

With that said, she was blessed and ignored Mrs. Qiao who was so angry that she turned around and left.

The four young and beautiful maids looked at each other and thought: What should they do if the Crown Princess is gone?

Not long after Nangong Yue returned to Bixiaotang, she received the news. Mrs. Qiao threw away her sleeves angrily and left, not even taking the four maids with her.

Concubine Wei naturally did not dare to send the person to Bixiaotang, so she simply told King Zhennan that Mrs. Qiao sent it to him. Mrs. Qiao obviously gave many beautiful maids to King Zhennan in the past, so he didn't think it was strange and happily accepted them.

Nangong Yue heard this interestingly. Although Mrs. Qiao is a married aunt, judging from her words and deeds today, she probably often interferes in her mother's family's affairs.

Today, she came here, ostensibly because of the banquet held by Bixiaotang, but in fact, she was just used to calling the shots. Bixiaotang’s post made her feel embarrassed, so she hurried over. To plead guilty is to take the opportunity to convince herself, so that she can continue to be the leader of Bixiaotang in the future.

Nangong Yue has no control over the affairs of the palace for the time being, but not everyone can step in to Bixiaotang.

This small piece of plain text may bring more temptations than they expected...

Nangong Yue was not affected at all and happily decided on the menu for the dinner. They also drew up a list and asked them to hand it over to the small kitchen, asking them to cook a portion of medicinal porridge, and waited for Xiao Yi to come back before having dinner with Old Mrs. Fang.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yi came back. As soon as he came back, he hugged her and rubbed her coquettishly. Then he said with a smile: "Smelly girl, I just received Xiaobai's letter."

Although Southern Xinjiang and the royal capital are thousands of miles apart, there are flying pigeons between Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai from time to time.

Xiao Yi was in a good mood. He pulled her to sit side by side by the window, took out a piece of tissue paper as thin as cicada wings, unfolded it on his own initiative, and spread it flat on the table.

This is a drawing, and it is also a structural drawing of a Liannu.

Although Nangong Yue knows nothing about weapons or anything like that, Guan Yubai's picture is so detailed that even an illiterate person can see the clues at a glance.

Xiao Yi explained on the side: "After seeing the repeating crossbow presented by the third prince, Xiaobai thought the idea was a bit interesting. After thinking about it carefully and trial-producing it several times, I finally came up with it. The results have been achieved. According to Xiaobai, the firing speed and range of this new crossbow are much better than the original crossbow, and..." As he spoke, he curled his lips and blinked, "It will never fall apart."

Nangong Yue picked up the design drawing of the repeating crossbow and looked at it carefully, feeling very happy in her heart.

This design drawing is so important to Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi continued: "Xiao Bai also said that he has made a few crossbows and is working hard to deliver them to me...I guess they should arrive early next month. Then we can try the crossbows together!" Having said this, the smile on his face became a little brighter, "Originally, although this repeating crossbow requires a lot of iron arrows, we don't have enough money. But now this is not a problem."

The smile on Xiao Yi's lips became even thicker. The Fang family accounts for most of the mineral veins in southern Xinjiang. If he needs iron, he can buy it from Mr. Fang.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi couldn't wait, so he pulled Nangong Yue up and said, "Ah Yue, let's go to Tingyuge... For the sake of my grandson, my grandfather should give me a cheaper price." He said jokingly, "Ah Yue, you have to help me say more nice things later..."

Looking at Xiao Yi's handsome face that seemed to be glowing, Nangong Yue couldn't help but be infected, with a bright smile.
