When Xiao Yi returned to Bixiaotang with a faint smell of alcohol, it was already Haishi. Nangong Yue had already finished washing, lying on the beauty's couch and reading a storybook leisurely.
Seeing him come back, Nangong Yue put down the storybook in her hand and stood up to greet him.
As soon as I saw Xiao Yi in a good mood, I knew that his matter must be done... I don't know who is unlucky today. Nangong Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she had to admit that she was really taught a bad lesson by Xiao Yi, and she was a little gloating about his misfortune.
Xiao Yi pulled Nangong Yue to sit down with a smile and winked at her, "Smelly girl, do you think who I happened to meet when I went out just now?"
Nangong Yue thought about it for a moment, then shook her head honestly.
Xiao Yi stretched out his right hand and rubbed Nangong Yue's soft cheek, and said mysteriously: "I met my uncle."
Uncle... Nangong Yue blinked, isn't that Mrs. Qiao's husband-in-law.
Following that, Xiao Yi told the story of how he and a group of young men "encountered" Qiao Xingyao by chance when they were running horses in the street. Nangong Yue had to hold back tears of sympathy for Mrs. Qiao. Mrs. Qiao has already gotten no advantage from her. Seeing Xiao Yi give her such a big gift tonight, she will probably be so angry that she will lose a few years of her life.
Hey——
Nangong Yue sighed silently in her heart, relying on her own many experiences and lessons, she has already come to a profound conclusion: offending A Yi will not end well, but there are still many people who continue to fight without mercy. ……
"Stinky girl..." Xiao Yi stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of Nangong Yue's divergent eyes, saying with accusing eyes, I was by your side, but you were actually distracted!
Nangong Yue rolled her eyes, clasped her fists boldly, and said with a smile: "Brother, I know how to treat a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. I admire you!"
Xiao Yi raised his chin proudly and glanced sideways at Nangong Yue. His arrogant eyes seemed to say, is this how you express your respect?
As if he was afraid that she wouldn't understand, he pointed at his cheek rudely.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, but she still kissed him on the cheek cooperatively.
The corners of his mouth were raised higher, and he smiled as brightly as a summer flower. The smile from the heart could not help but also infected Nangong Yue, who subconsciously stepped forward to capture the smile at the corner of his mouth.
For a moment, he was stunned!
Nangong Yue quickly stepped away again, her pretty little face was stained with a blush, and her dark eyes were gleaming with water, like a delicate little flower waiting to bloom...
Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly burst into flames, making Nangong Yue even more embarrassed.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the house: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has sent someone to invite you two to go to the study room." After a pause, Que'er added: "I heard that, Just now, the eldest aunt of Qiao Zhai sent Aunt Hu to look for the prince..."
Xiao Yi calmed down as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
Think about it and you will know that Mrs. Qiao sent Aunt Hu to complain to the King of Zhennan.
A sneer appeared on Xiao Yi's lips. Since he had done it, he had already been mentally prepared for his aunt to do this.
Nangong Yue pulled his sleeves and looked at him with a smile.
The coldness on Xiao Yi's body quietly dissipated, and he held her hand, with a smile on his face.
The two lingered for a while, then straightened their clothes and went from Bixiaotang to the palace.
The King of Zhennan was waiting for them in the study room in the outer courtyard. He waited for a long time, until all the midnight snacks were eaten, and the unfilial son arrived belatedly.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue saluted him as if nothing had happened, "I have met my father."
The King of Zhennan frowned when he saw Xiao Yi, and was about to scold him, but Xiao Yi had already taken the initiative and said: "...Father, my son met his uncle on the road today, I really feel sorry for him. Hey——"
The King of Zhennan was slightly startled. His son seemed to have been at odds with him since he was a child, and they would quarrel whenever they met. They had never started with such a domestic conversation like now.
Just before King Zhennan thought about whether to continue scolding, he heard Xiao Yi say: "Father, you also know that my uncle has a good temper, is loyal and honest, otherwise my aunt would not have been there back then. I would insist on marrying him. But when I met him today, my uncle was really haggard. My son couldn’t help but ask a few questions, and then he found out... Sigh."
On weekdays, the King of Zhennan and his brother-in-law had quite a talk. Now when he heard what Xiao Yi said, he couldn't help but become a little worried and asked, "What's wrong with your uncle? Is he feeling unwell?"
"My uncle has lived alone in Luoyue City these years, separated from his aunt, which is really not easy. No one takes care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. But he is busy with official duties all day long and does not care about his body. He occasionally felt cold in the winter two years ago , passed out on the roadside, but fortunately a girl came to his rescue and asked for medical advice, and the danger was saved." As he said, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in fear again, "It's just that the girl didn't wait for my uncle to thank her. He left gracefully, leaving my uncle unable to repay his kindness even if he wanted to." At this point, Xiao Yi paused deliberately and asked, "Father, do you think this is a strange woman who gives kindness without asking for repayment?"
The King of Zhennan nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "She is indeed a strange woman."
"Later, when my uncle went to Baihualou with his colleagues to socialize, he met this girl again. It turned out that she was the shepherd of Baihualou. After asking, my uncle found out that her parents died young, and her uncle and aunt He was cruel and didn't want to take care of the orphan, so he sold her. My uncle couldn't bear the benefactor living in such a place and suffering, so he redeemed her and built a house for her to settle in, which was considered as repaying his kindness. ...The girl He is also a person who repays his kindness. From then on, he made clothes for his uncle from time to time, cooked some side dishes, and asked about his welfare. After going back and forth, they got to know each other. But my uncle was worried that he would be sorry for his aunt, so he never took her with him. Go back home."
King Zhennan listened with rapt attention, nodding from time to time, and the anger on his face disappeared without knowing when.
"So, when my uncle told his son about this, he immediately said that his aunt is by no means a intolerant person. My aunt is usually far away in Li County, so there must be someone here to take care of my uncle. My aunt is so virtuous, I know I'm afraid it's too late to be happy about this, so how can I blame my uncle! After thinking about it, my uncle thought it was right, so he decided to take the girl back to the house, and his son happened to give them a ride on the way." As he said that, Xiao Yi said happily He said, "My uncle also said that he would treat us to a cup of concubine wine in a few days. Father, do you think my son should prepare some gifts?"
The King of Zhennan stroked his beard and agreed: "Although it is a concubine, that girl and your uncle can be regarded as friends in need, and they should be given generous gifts."
"Father, you are absolutely right!" Xiao Yi nodded slightly and asked, "By the way, father, what's wrong with you calling your son and daughter-in-law over?"
The King of Zhennan finally remembered his original intention.
Sister Cai just sent someone to complain to him that Xiao Yi gave Qiao Xingyao a woman. At that time, he was really furious. This son was always good at learning and always liked to learn these evil ways. This was because he wanted to win over his generals and make plans. Did they all hit brother-in-law Qiao Xingyao? ! It's so courageous. It's impossible to say that it was the Nangong who instigated it again. King Zhennan was so angry that he called them over and planned to give them a scolding. Unexpectedly, there was something inside.
Hey, the eldest sister like me is too impatient and doesn’t know how to ask clearly. It’s obviously an elegant matter!
Thinking of this, King Zhennan lost his temper. He gave Xiao Yi a rare smile and said, "It's okay. Your aunt came here today and sent some lychees. She asked you to come and take a few baskets back."
Xiao Yi followed the good example and said, "Thank you so much, father."
After chatting with them for a while, King Zhennan waved his hand and dismissed them.
Although southern Xinjiang is already very hot in May, there is still a hint of coolness in the night. The cool breeze caresses your face, which is very refreshing and comfortable.
Xiao Yi took Nangong Yue’s hand and walked through the garden towards Bixiaotang.
"Smelly girl, you are so powerful!" Xiao Yi said happily.
Nangong Yue’s eyebrows are crooked and her eyes are as bright as stars, “Actually, I have to thank my aunt.”
Nangong Yue originally knew that King Zhennan was a bit confused when it came to dealing with people, but Mrs. Qiao's visit made her feel that maybe he was not just confused, but easy to fool. Otherwise, how could a married aunt be able to easily dictate to her parents' family for more than ten years?
Nangong Yue never thought about completely falling out with King Zhennan. Although their relationship with King Zhennan became somewhat tense after arriving in southern Xinjiang, she also thought about trying to save it, at least not They get noisy when they meet.
So, she thought that if she couldn't make a noise, she could try to fool him, so she let Xiao Yi try.
Xiao Yi was sweet-mouthed and could easily make her parents smile when she was in the capital. But she didn’t expect that a random story could really coax the King of Zhennan?
However, thinking about how Concubine Wei entered the house and how the maids in Xiao Fang's room threw themselves into her arms, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand. Maybe it was this story full of loopholes that made King Zhennan feel real and empathize with Qiao Xingyao, right?
But no matter what, it’s good that they didn’t quarrel... Maybe, as long as Xiao Fang doesn’t provoke them, they and King Zhennan can get along with each other in another way?
As expected, King Zhennan did not pursue Qiao Xingyao's concubine at all. He even brought Xiao Yi to the house for a glass of wine and gave him a generous gift during the concubine banquet.
This signal immediately gave Qiao Xingyao some reassurance, and he was overjoyed. However, Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she almost couldn't take a breath, so she could only reluctantly drink the cup of newlywed tea, and became furious the next day. He rushed to the palace to find his younger brother. Faced with Mrs. Qiao's question, King Zhennan said matter-of-factly: "Sister once said that a head wife should serve as a cook, serve her parents-in-law, and take care of her children. When a man is busy with official duties, it is appropriate for him to have a few interpretation flowers. . If the eldest brother-in-law can have a confidante by his side, the eldest sister can feel at ease in Li County, right?"
The words of King Zhennan were transmitted to Nangong Yue's ears intact. At that time, Nangong Yue was drinking tea and reading the replies from various prefectures, and almost choked on the tea.
She covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
I remembered that my grandfather once said that when the mother-in-law was still alive, Mrs. Qiao often sent beautiful maids to the King of Zhennan. A large part of the reason for the mother-in-law's difficulty in giving birth was probably due to her depressed mood. Therefore, no matter how many concubines Uncle Qiao takes, Mrs. Qiao has nothing to sympathize with.
"... Mrs. Qiao looked extremely ugly when she left, and threatened that she would never come to our palace again."
Quie'er spoke vividly, and the maids waiting on the side all pursed their lips and chuckled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Nangong Yue smiled and handed Que'er a cup of tea to soothe her throat, and then gave her a box of snacks for them to share later.
The maids thanked each other jokingly, all smiling.
While joking, Nangong Yue read all the replies at hand.
These replies come from different mansions. Replying to them means coming back on the day of the banquet.
Some mansions sent people to reply on the same day as the posts were sent, while for others, three or five days have passed... and there is still no reply until now. From this time alone, Nangong Yue can know the attitude of each government very well.
Compared with the plain-grained posts sent out last time, less than a quarter of the replies received so far have been received. Nangong Yue estimates that he will receive some more on the day of the banquet. After all, there are definitely many more people waiting and watching now than those who have already made a choice.
Nangong Yue gave all the posts to Baihui and told her to arrange the seats for the banquet later.
After taking care of these trivial matters and seeing that it was almost time, Nangong Yue got up and went to Yuebiju where Xiao Fei lived.
Xiao Fei recently acquired a new painting and asked her to appreciate it together and identify the authenticity.
She was really too busy yesterday, so she agreed to go there today.
From Bixiaotang to Wangfu, through the garden, you will find Xiao Fei's Yuebiju.
Xiao Fei was happy to be quiet, and Yuebiju had a somewhat winding and secluded feel. But today, Nangong Yue heard a lively noise coming from the front, and unconsciously slowed down.
If it weren't for the three big characters "Yuebiju" standing right in front of her eyes, Nangong Yue would have almost suspected that they were in the wrong place.
Nangong Yue and Bai Hui looked at each other in confusion. Just as they were about to continue walking forward, they saw a little maid walking out of the yard in a panic and faced Nangong Yue and his party.
When the little maid saw that she was the imperial concubine, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the imperial concubine before." She said apologetically, "The girl was still waiting for the servant to get the ladder, so the servant resigned first..."
This little girl was only in her teens, and acted in a fickle manner. Before she could finish her words, she had already run away, which made Baihui shake her head.
What are you doing with the ladder?
Nangong Yue felt even more strange and walked into Yuebiju at a faster pace.
It seems that all the maids and ladies in Yuebiju have gathered in the front yard. No, not only the slaves, but also Xiao Fei is here.
A group of people all looked up and stared at the same place. Nangong Yue silently walked a few steps towards Xiao Fei and the others, following their gaze, and finally knew the source of the commotion.
An orange-striped kitten was lying slightly tremblingly on the upturned eaves of the roof, its limp body huddled up, not daring to move, but making intermittent calls of "meow, meow, meow." The sound was louder and louder than the last.
Xiao Fei was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and said to Tao Yao beside her: "Why haven't you brought the ladder yet? ...Forget it, Tao Yao, go and bring a chair." Xiao Fei said, While observing the surrounding environment, he murmured to himself, "If I lend some strength on the chair, I can climb to that tree, and then from that tree I can climb to the eaves..."
The more she talked, the more she thought it was feasible, but Tao Yao was already sweating profusely. At this time, a little maid in the yard finally saw Nangong Yue and hurriedly saluted: "I have met the Crown Princess!"
All the slaves in the courtyard looked at Nangong Yue, then they all dwarfed and bowed in salute.
"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Fei showed a hint of embarrassment and guilt. The sister-in-law trusted her so much that she gave Xiao Ju to her, but she didn't think much of Xiao Ju.
Nangong Yue stepped forward, glanced around half a circle, and asked: "Sister Fei, what is going on?"
Tao Yao hurriedly explained: "Prince Princess, Xiao Bai just jumped onto the roof, Xiao Ju also followed him, and then he couldn't get down..." Tao Yao felt a little speechless as she spoke. Cats are all very skilled. They can fly over walls and climb walls like martial arts masters. This is the first time I have seen a cat that is timid enough to climb up but cannot get down.
"Meow——"
Another cat meow came, but it was different from the milky meow of the little yellow cat. Nangong Yue looked up and saw Xiaobai squatting on the black tiles, meowing in a certain direction. .
Only then did everyone notice that a gray figure spread its wings and flew towards them. It flew around the little yellow cat twice, getting closer and closer each time. It frightened the little yellow cat and made it tremble even more, as if It looks like it's about to fall off at any moment.
"Little Gray!"
Nangong Yue scolded lightly, and Xiao Hui finally flapped his wings and flew a little further, then stopped at the ridge of the roof, lightly pecked his wings twice, and looked down at the little yellow cat with his proud eagle eyes, as if to say, hum. , The guy without wings is really useless.
"Meow!" Xiaobai shouted at Xiaohui unconvinced, and extended his front paws to wave in the air, giving him a full sense of threat.
Seeing that a cat and an eagle were about to start a quarrel on the roof, Nangong Yue's eyes twitched speechlessly.
At this time, the little maid and another woman who had just moved the ladder panted and moved the ladder. Xiao Fei hurriedly said: "Quick! Get the ladder quickly..."
"Sister Fei, there's no need to go to such trouble." Nangong Yue hurriedly spoke out to stop Xiao Fei, and then gave Baihui next to her a wink.
Baihui understood immediately and said with a smile: "Girl, I have a specialization in the art, so I let my servant come."
Before Xiao Fei could react, Baihui strode forward, looked around, then jumped slightly, first grabbed a thick branch next to her with both arms, and then swung it gently. He jumped onto the branch easily, and then climbed up along the trunk for a while, until he looked at Xiao Ju who was squatting on the eaves.
Although Xiao Ju was so frightened that all the fur on his body exploded, he still recognized Bai Hui and was so docile that he let Bai Hui hug him...
When Xiao Fei and the maids were still worried about how Baihui, who was holding the kitten, would get down, they saw that Baihui had jumped down from the branch lightly and landed steadily on the ground with a somersault.
Following that, Xiaobai nimbly used the tree to get down from the eaves.
Xiao Fei's heart finally fell into place, and the maids around her looked at Baihui in stunned silence, thinking: The Crown Princess is indeed the Crown Princess, and there is really a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon beside her! Sister Baihui usually looks polite and has a steady and generous temperament, but she didn't expect her skills to be even more powerful than the chivalrous heroine in the playbook!
A small disturbance passed, and the maids and women in the yard were quickly dispersed.
Baihui handed the little orange into Xiao Fei's hands, and Xiao Fei held it gently, flicked it on the forehead, and said softly: "You naughty bag!"
Xiao Ju gave a "meow" sound and looked at Xiao Fei innocently with her golden cat eyes, as if she had completely forgotten what happened just now. The cute little look made Xiao Fei blink angrily. It disappeared in time.
Nangong Yue looked at the man and the cat with a smile. It seemed that they were getting along well.
"Meow!"
The cat Xiaobai walked up to Xiao Fei, squatted there and looked up at her. Although it couldn't speak, Xiao Fei miraculously understood its words: Can you return the little orange to me? ?
Xiao Fei leaned over and put Xiao Ju on the ground. Xiao Bai sniffed Xiao Ju, licked it, and then gently patted it on the head with one paw, as if it was a scolding. . Xiaoju said "meow" obediently, and then the two little ones swaggered away.
Xiao Fei withdrew her gaze and looked at Nangong Yue shyly, "Sister-in-law..." At this time, she finally remembered the business of the day, "That painting is hanging in my small study now. Sister-in-law, please go with me." Let me go in and take a look."
With that said, the two of them walked hand in hand into Xiao Fei's small study.
