The Favoured Medical Princess: 429 old friend

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

In Tingyu Pavilion, Mr. Fang and Xiao Fei sat opposite each other across a torreya chessboard, both looking solemn and attentive.

From that day on, Xiao Fei and Nangong Yue would come to greet each other every morning, and then play chess with Mr. Fang.

Because Mr. Fang can't work too hard, they can usually play for two or three days in a game.

Nangong Yue was not busy today, so she was not in a hurry to leave. She watched quietly and added some tea to them from time to time.

The chess pieces on the chessboard were covered with dense black and white chess pieces. Old Mrs. Fang looked at the chessboard quietly for a long time without making any movement. Xiao Fei, who was opposite him, did not urge him. She was staring at the chess game attentively, as if trying to figure out Mr. Fang's next move.

I don’t know how long it took, but Mrs. Fang’s right hand finally moved and picked up a black stone from the chess basket. Xiao Fei looked at his fingertips with burning eyes... Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fang’s hand was raised. He got up and quickly put the black piece back into the chess basket——

Admit defeat.

Mr. Fang stared at Xiao Fei expressionlessly. Xiao Fei had been playing chess with him for many days. He has never defeated her!

And he has never seen such a person. Does he mean that she is upright, or is she simply stupid?

Isn’t she here to please him? Didn't she want to atone for her mother's sins?

How come she never thought of letting him please him?

Thinking about it, Mr. Fang's expression showed a hint of complexity. Although he didn't appreciate her asking him, looking at this little girl's upright and almost incorruptible temperament, he really felt like he didn't know what to say. His thoughtful niece could actually give birth to such an inflexible little girl!

Probably because of this... my grandson's wife got along with Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei carefully arranged the chessboard and chess pieces, closed the lid of the chess basket, then stood up and blessed her body respectfully: "Grandpa, granddaughter, I won't disturb your rest. I'll take my leave now. ."

Mrs. Fang originally wanted to have a rematch with her, but she beat him to it. Now he couldn't say anything, so he waved his hand casually, signaling for them all to leave.

Nangong Yue suppressed the smile on her lips, saluted Mrs. Fang, and left Tingyu Pavilion with Xiao Fei.

As soon as Xiao Fei came out of the yard, she said excitedly to Nangong Yue: "Sister-in-law, have you noticed? My grandfather said a few more words to me today." She said to herself secretly, as time goes by Seeing people's hearts, as long as he perseveres, my grandfather will definitely understand her intentions!

The smile in Nangong Yue's eyes became even stronger, and she really wanted to rub the top of Xiao Fei's hair.

The two of them returned to Bixiaotang hand in hand. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Huamei came up to them and said a warning.

Nangong Yue frowned slightly. She originally planned to go to the small study room with Xiao Fei, but temporarily changed to the Xihong Hall where the daily directors were.

A little maid wearing a lake-colored Hangzhou silk jacket is kneeling in the middle. The little maid seems to be twelve or thirteen years old, with a slim figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her facial features can be considered delicate and outstanding. Although she was kneeling on the ground, she had a stubborn look on her face, as if she was dissatisfied.

Nangong Yue remembered that this little maid was the third-class maid in her courtyard, named Dong Qing. She was born in a family in the house. She only did some cleaning work on weekdays and could not enter the main house. She was quite flexible and alert. .

As soon as Nangong Yue sat down, Dongqing couldn't wait to say: "Prince Concubine, this slave has been wronged. Please ask the Crown Princess to make the decision for me." As she said that, she quickly glanced at Que'er who was standing aside with her hands hanging down. At a glance, although there was no direct complaint, the implication was already clear.

Quie'er sneered secretly and didn't rush to shout. She calmly took a step forward, turned to Nangong Yue, and reported: "Prince Concubine, today I caught Dongqing talking to the Zijuan girl in Madam's yard..."

Although Zijuan is only the second-class maid in Xiao Fang's courtyard, she is the granddaughter of Grandma Qi. When Mingmou and Mingyue are released, Zijuan will definitely be the first maid.

Dong Qing said hurriedly: "Prince Concubine, this servant is just talking to Sister Zijuan. There is no reason in this palace not to talk to the maids in other courtyards, right?" After a pause, she looked again Que'er glanced at her and said, "This slave has also seen Sister Que'er talking to Mrs. Xu in Madam's yard."

This little girl is really articulate, but it's a pity... Que'er sighed inwardly. She did talk to Mrs. Xu. Not only that, she also talked to Xing'er in Concubine Wei's yard. We also chatted with Hibiscus in the third lady’s yard, but it was just an ordinary social interaction, unlike this Dongqing...

Quie'er said calmly: "Dongqing, why don't you tell the Crown Princess what you said to Miss Zicuckoo? If you don't want to say it, I'll do the same for you."

"Dong Qing won't bother Sister Que'er." Dong Qing said hurriedly. The same words may have different meanings when spoken by different people.

Dong Qing collected her thoughts and said: "Prince Concubine, Miss Zicuckoo just accidentally chatted with the slave about the Crown Princess and said that the relationship between the Crown Princess and the eldest daughter is really good. The slave said a few words with emotion and talked about the Crown Princess. The eldest daughter and I often play the piano and paint together, and even went out together the day before yesterday. In the evening, the Crown Princess asked the small kitchen to cook bird's nest porridge, and ordered someone to give a bowl to the eldest daughter..." The more Dong Qing said, the straighter her back became. Thought: Yes, she didn’t say anything! What she said is not a secret. It is harmless. Don’t all the servants in Bixiao Hall know it? She has neither betrayed nor harmed her master, so what right does Queer have to punish her?

Nangong Yue smiled faintly. If Dongqing readily admitted her mistake, she would think highly of her, but...

At this time, Xiao Fei, who had been sitting silently for a long time, suddenly said: "Dongqing, where did the bracelet on your wrist come from?"

Nangong Yue was a little surprised when she heard this, and glanced at Xiao Fei with a smile. Xiao Fei has indeed made great progress these days, and she can grasp the key points at a glance.

A flash of panic flashed in Dongqing's eyes, and she hurriedly pushed the bracelet into her sleeve, but the green and transparent bracelet immediately slipped down again. Dongqing hesitated and said: "This is what my deceased mother left to me..."

Before she finished speaking, Que'er had already interrupted her coldly: "The objects in the palace are all registered. If you check it, you will know that not everyone can just talk nonsense! You Don’t tell me, I’ll check it and I’ll find out!” This bracelet is of top quality jade, which is not something a little maid can have, unless she stole it!

Dong Qing was even more panicked. This bracelet was given to her by Zijuan, but where did Zijuan’s bracelet come from? Naturally, the lady rewarded it. The jewelry in the Madam's room is all registered. Even if the Crown Princess cannot go to Madam to check, with so many pairs of eyes in the palace, someone will always remember the origin of this bracelet. If someone comes to the Crown Princess to sell it, then...

Dongqing's pretty face turned pale, and she finally realized that she was afraid. She hesitated and said: "Back...back to the Imperial Concubine, this bracelet was given by Miss Zicuckoo to the slave..." Her voice became softer and softer, and finally disappeared into the air. middle.

Que'er looked at Dong Qing coldly, as the saying goes: "No reward for no merit." Since Dong Qing accepted the gift, she naturally knew that the other party had other wishes. Today Dongqing can tell Princess Zijuan what late night snack she had for dinner, and in the future she can tell Xiao Fang when the princess will change her bath and when the prince will return home. Bixiaotang cannot afford to keep a slave who wants to have everything he wants.

Que'er blessed Fu Shen and said, "Prince, my servant has called Dong Qing's aunt over..." and took Dong Qing back.

When Dong Qing heard this, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Prince Concubine, I have realized my mistake! I will never dare to do it again!" Both of her parents are dead. If her aunt takes her back, she will definitely let her. She married her aunt's silly nephew...

Nangong Yue waved her hand, not wanting to hear any more.

Quie'er hurriedly motioned to the two women to come forward, covered Dongqing's mouth, and dragged her down.

Xihong Hall quickly returned to calm. Xiao Fei's expression was a little complicated and she hesitated to speak: "Sister-in-law..."

Nangong Yue stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Fei, come with me."

Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei back to the main room, then took out several orders from a box and handed them to Xiao Fei to read. Xiao Fei glanced at it casually and found that this was the list of servants of Bixiaotang, which also indicated the origins and family relationships of those servants... Xiao Fei didn't know it, and only after taking a look did she realize that the servants of the palace were related. So complex, intertwining a complicated web.

The more complex the relationship, the more complex the stakes.

Xiao Fei looked thoughtful, and Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei with a smile. In fact, as long as there are people, things will not be simple. In Bixiaotang, it is not just Xiao Fang's spy, the second and third bedrooms, King Zhennan, and even Mrs. Qiao are just a measure. Even if I buy some new slaves and bring them into the house, are they necessarily clean? Even if you are faithful today, what about tomorrow?

After Xiao Fei gets married in the future, she will inevitably encounter problems of this kind. It would be nice to let her have an idea now...

"The Crown Princess! The Crown Princess!"

At this time, Huamei's voice broke the tranquility in the small study. Huamei ran into the room with a smile on her face and couldn't wait to report: "His Royal Highness Princess Yongyang and Miss Fu Liu are here!"

Sitting behind the desk, Nangong Yue could hardly believe her ears. She blinked and blurted out in disbelief: "Grandma Yongyang and Liu Niang are here?" She couldn't restrain her joy and stood up.

Baihui on the side saw Huamei losing her composure. She had frowned slightly, but now she was surprised and happy when she heard what Huamei said.

Huamei said hurriedly: "Prince Princess, the carriage has just arrived outside the gate of the palace, and now the concierge is waiting to greet you."

"Sister-in-law," Xiao Fei also stood up and said with great joy, "I will accompany you to welcome Grandma Yongyang and Liu Niang."

The eldest princess Yongyang arrived at Zhennan Palace, and naturally she walked through the main gate of the palace. Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed to Zhengyi Gate.

The woman carrying the carriage knew that the masters were going to welcome distinguished guests, so they all walked quickly. But even so, when they arrived at the Yimen, Yongyang and the others' carriage had already stopped at the Yimen. Outside.

Fu Yunyan was helping Yongyang get out of the carriage.

Nangong Yue hurriedly told her mother-in-law to put down the shoulder carriage, then she couldn’t wait to step forward and shouted loudly: "Grandma Yongyang, Liu Niang!"

There are three great joys in life, and the first one is "meeting an old friend in a foreign country"!

A bright smile couldn't help but bloom on Nangong Yue's little face, which seemed to be brighter than the rising sun in the sky.

At this time, Fu Yunyan also saw Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei: "Ah Yue, Ah Fei!" After saying that, Fu Yunyan quickly stepped forward and hugged Nangong Yue affectionately.

Yongyang from behind looked at these three cute little girls with a smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were piled up with laughter.

After a while, Nangong Yue let go of Fu Yunyan and looked at her deeply. After not seeing her for several months, Fu Yunyan was still the cheerful and neat girl. She seemed to be a little taller, and her figure was as straight as a willow branch, revealing A bit heroic.

Nangong Yue looked at her for a while, and then at Yongyang not far away. The joy on her face could not be concealed, and she said coquettishly: "Grandma Yongyang, you and Liu Niang are coming, why didn't you send them? Can someone send you a letter in advance? I can go and greet you!"

When she left Wangdu with Xiao Yi, she had already prepared herself mentally. After leaving, she would not be able to see her relatives and friends in Wangdu again for many years, or even decades... Unexpectedly, Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan suddenly came to southern Xinjiang!

Like a wanderer who had been away from his hometown for a long time and saw his relatives again, Nangong Yue felt a surge of heat in his heart, his eyes were sore, and his eyes were filled with tears, and his vision was hazy.

Fu Yunyan looked at Nangong Yue with a smile and said, "Of course it's to give you a surprise."

Yong Yang has always believed that he has experienced many life and death separations on the battlefield, but at this time, he could not help but be affected by his emotions. He hugged Nangong Yue lovingly and said with a smile: "Yue'er, look at you, ah Yi must have taken good care of you!"

"I'm fine!" Nangong Yue sniffed and resisted the urge to cry.

"A'Yue, please don't cry." Fu Yunyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of Nangong Yue's eyes, "A'Yi invited us over, not to make you cry." As he said that, Fu Yunyan naughtily The ground blinked.

"Ayi?!" Nangong Yue couldn't hide the surprise on her face. She couldn't help but think of that night when Xiao Yi told her that he had already invited the guest of honor and the chief minister for her hairpin ceremony. She always thought that Xiao Yi was talking about other mansions in southern Xinjiang that he was familiar with, but she didn't expect that he was talking about Yongyang's ancestors and grandsons.

Xiao Fei, who was standing next to her, blurted out in surprise: "Liu Niang, is it the eldest brother who invited you and Grandma Yongyang to come to Southern Xinjiang?!" After a pause, Xiao Fei thought of something and said hurriedly, " Are you here to attend my sister-in-law’s haircut ceremony?”

Nangong Yue’s hairpin ceremony is coming soon, and as Yong Yang, she must be the guest of honor.

It is a great honor for Nangong Yue to have Princess Yongyang as the guest of honor at the hairpin ceremony! Not to mention that Yongyang came all the way from the royal capital, so the closeness was self-evident.

"A Fei, you are so smart!" Fu Yunyan gave Xiao Fei an admiring look, and then looked at Yong Yang complainingly, "A Yue, you don't even know how hateful your grandmother is! You and A Yi leave the capital. A few days ago, Ayi had invited grandma to come to southern Xinjiang to attend your haircut ceremony. Grandma was too tight-lipped and didn’t say anything to me!” When Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and Fu Yunhe left the capital, she I almost burst into tears...

Remembering it, Fu Yunyan couldn't help but pouted, and thought to himself: Doesn't the third brother already know about this? ! If so, she would have to teach him a lesson!

"Ah Yue!" Fu Yunyan took Nangong Yue's arm affectionately and said, "Grandma will be your guest, and I will be your judge, okay?"

Nangong Yue smiled and nodded frequently: "Okay!" Her heart felt warm.

Ayi, this guy, actually kept it secret from me for so many days! Did he want to give himself a surprise?

The haircut ceremony is the most important day in every girl's life, so Nangong Yue is naturally very cautious about it and a little nervous. However, at this moment, when seeing Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan coming all the way for this, this nervousness turned into emotion.

This is what three people think of her. This will be a day she will never forget!

But even so, she and A Yi still have to settle the score. This guy actually kept it secret from her for so long!

"Grandma Yongyang, Liu Niang, I will take you to Bixiao Hall." Nangong Yue personally led Yongyang and Fu Yunyan to Bixiao Hall with a smile on her face, laughing and talking along the way.

Nangong Yue held Yongyang's arm affectionately and introduced the palace and Bixiaotang to Yongyang and Fu Yunyan. Xiao Fei added a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Seeing that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were still so close, Yong Yang secretly nodded, feeling happy for Nangong Yue. Southern Xinjiang is an unfamiliar place for Nangong Yue. As the prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi carries a heavy burden and cannot pay attention to the inner courtyard all the time. With Xiao Fei by his side, Nangong Yue will not be too lonely.

Nangong Yue led Yongyang and Fu Yunyan to the small flower hall to sit for a while. The maids served tea and snacks. The snacks were naturally unique to southern Xinjiang, such as carved plum blossoms, water dumplings, horse rolling, flower cakes, winter melon preserves... …

Quie'er eloquently introduced the names and origins of these snacks to them, and occasionally interspersed a touching story. Xiao Fei was a little emotional when she heard that she, a southern Xinjiang native, seemed to know this. Not as many magpies.

As for Nangong Yue, I have thousands of things to say in my heart. I want to ask how my parents are, I want to ask how my brother is, I want to ask how Nangong Mansion is, I want to ask Jiang Yixi, Yuncheng, and Yuan Yuyi how they are doing recently... There are too many What she wanted to say, she didn't know where to start, and she was even more afraid that if she started talking about it, she would want to cry.

Yongyang just used a little of each at will, and the three girls all ate it with great enjoyment.

Seeing that Nangong Yue had a good appetite, Yongyang smiled and said: "Yue'er, the customs, water, soil, and food in Southern Xinjiang are very different from those in the royal capital. I was originally worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt, but now it seems that you are doing well. "Although Yue'er looks weak and not as vigorous as her Liu Niang, in fact Yue'er's vitality is extremely strong, just like the green radish, even if there is no soil, it can take root and grow in the water!

Seeing Nangong Yue like this, Yongyang could finally feel relieved. She couldn't help but remember that before she and Fu Yunyan left, Lin and Nangong Xin came to the Princess Mansion to pay homage to her. Of course, they wanted her to help them. Nangong Yue brought some things, but on the other hand, she was also worried about how Nangong Yue was doing in southern Xinjiang. She was worried that Nangong Yue would report good news but not bad news... What a pitiful parent in the world!

Fu Yunyan also thought of going with Yong Yang, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, my grandmother and I have escorted you all the way this time. Everyone is eager to help you deliver the royal capital to We have moved to southern Xinjiang... Especially Ah Xin. On the day we set out, he pulled another cart of things to the city gate and told me to bring it to you. Looking at his look, I really wanted to hide in the carriage quietly and follow suit. Let's come together." If Nangong Xin hadn't been the fifth prince's chaperone, he would have definitely come with him this time.

Fu Yunyan tried to convey everyone's longing for Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi in a joking tone, but even so, Nangong Yue's eyes turned red again...

Nangong Yue finally calmed down a little, and then asked everyone about their current situation. Fu Yunyan talked about the past one by one. For example, before they left, Nangong Cheng's belly was already very big, and she was about to give birth. For example, Yuan Yuyi's marriage had not been decided yet; for example, Jiang Yixi was still in charge of Qi Qi for the time being. Feedback from the palace...

When talking about Jiang Yixi, Fu Yunyan naturally thought of Han Qixia and secretly winked at Nangong Yue.

A few days ago, Nangong Yue also received a letter from Jiang Yixi, which naturally mentioned Han Qixia. According to Jiang Yixi, they only told Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan that Han Qixia was still alive, and no one else knew about it.

Nangong Yue understood instantly and understood that Fu Yunyan was asking about Han Qixia's current situation. She nodded without any trace, with a smile flashing in her eyes. Han Qixia must not have expected Fu Yunyan to come...

The three girls secretly exchanged glances and decided to give Han Qixia an unexpected surprise.

While they were talking, a little maid came to the flower hall. Seeing this, Que'er went out and reported back: "Prince Concubine, eldest lady, the prince has just returned to the house. He knows that the eldest princess is here and is heading to Bi." Xiaotang is coming over here."

I am afraid that there are not many people in this huge southern Xinjiang that the King of Zhennan can come to visit in person after hearing the news.

In terms of status, Yongyang is the emperor's aunt and the only eldest princess of Dayu; in terms of seniority, Yongyang is friends with the deceased old Zhennan King, and can be regarded as Zhennan King's elder. In both public and private matters, the King of Zhennan should come to pay homage to Yongyang in person.

After a while, King Zhennan walked towards the small flower hall under the guidance of a maid, and strode into the hall.

Facing Yongyang, King Zhennan was also very respectful.

When Yong Yang was under the command of the old King Zhennan, King Zhennan was still a young man. Even now when he sees Yong Yang again, he still feels as restrained as meeting an elder.

The King of Zhennan walked to the hall and bowed respectfully: "I haven't seen you for many years, but your highness remains the same."

The King of Zhennan also heard from his servants just now that Yongyang came to southern Xinjiang this time to participate in the hairdressing ceremony of the Crown Prince Nangong. It must be said that the King of Zhennan was also greatly surprised.

Although he knew that Nangong was so favored by the Holy Spirit that she was named Princess Yaoguang by the emperor, what he didn’t expect was that Nangong Yue would have such a close relationship with the eldest princess Yongyang, so close that Yongyang wouldn’t refuse. He traveled thousands of miles from the royal capital to southern Xinjiang just for her hairpin ceremony.

For a moment, King Zhennan glanced at Nangong Yue with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite." Yongyang raised his hand and looked at King Zhennan.

For Yongyang, King Zhennan is the son of an old friend. Of course she hopes that he can outshine his master so that his old friend can have successors. It is a pity that King Zhennan did not inherit the wisdom and martial arts of the old King Zhennan. When the old King of Zhennan was still alive, he once sighed to Yong Yang and regretted that when his son was young, he was away at war all the time and could not take his son by his side to teach and guide him well. When the old King of Zhennan realized that something was wrong, It was already too late to try to correct his son's temper.

The King of Zhennan said warmly: "Your Highness, I have ordered people to clean up a quiet courtyard for Your Highness. If you rarely come to Luoyue City, please stay longer."

Nangong Yue frowned slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Yong Yang already say: "Your Majesty, I live in Bixiaotang."

"Your Highness..." King Zhennan didn't look very good. Yongyang is here, but he doesn't live in the palace, but in Bixiaotang. What would outsiders think if they knew?

Yongyang asked calmly: "Your Majesty, I remember that your wife was excommunicated by the emperor. Who is in charge of the palace now?" Yongyang's words can be regarded as knowingly asking. It was the emperor who ordered the Wei family to be Temporarily serving as the middle minister of the palace.

"Your Highness, it's Concubine Wei." King Zhennan showed a somewhat stiff and embarrassed look on his face, and then he remembered the current predicament of the palace. The main wife, Xiao Fang, has no royal title and is currently in confinement, so it is really inconvenient to entertain Yong Yang. Although the concubine Wei is a second-grade concubine who is married to Yudian, she is still a concubine. The palace cannot let a concubine entertain the emperor's aunt, the eldest princess Yongyang, right?

Yongyang naturally saw the embarrassment of King Zhennan, and said: "Your Majesty, I have always disliked red tape, so it would be better to stay here temporarily in Bixiao Hall, where it is easier to get in and out."

Since Yongyang was given the opportunity to step down, King Zhennan no longer forced himself to do so and hurriedly agreed.

Looking at King Zhennan’s confused and indecisive appearance, Yongyang’s face was as dark as water, and she began to feel glad that she had come.

If I don’t come, then who should host the ceremony for Yue’er? Are you counting on Xiao Fang or Concubine Wei?

A Yi looks crazy, but he is actually as considerate as his grandfather.
