"Prince Princess, spare your life! Miss, spare your life!"

In the Xihong Hall, a little maid about twelve years old wearing a lilac-colored gown knelt on the cold bluestone floor, kowtowing to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei to beg for mercy.

Xiao Fei looked at the little maid with a deep look. After returning to Yuebi Residence yesterday, she thought about it carefully and felt that the timing of Xiao Rongxuan and Fang Zimo's appearance in Anlan Palace was really a coincidence. How did the two of them know the whereabouts of themselves and their sister-in-law?

After much thought, Xiao Fei concluded that it was impossible for her second sister to find out what was going on in Bixiao Hall. The problem most likely stemmed from her own Yuebiju. So, she carefully checked all the servants in the yard, and found that a little maid named Ruzhi had a thin gold bracelet on her wrist.

After only a few questions, Ruzhi immediately said in fear that he accidentally heard the maids in Xiao Fei's house talking about it, and then quietly leaked the matter to Xiao Rongxuan's maids...

Thinking of this, Xiao Fei's face became as dark as water. Not only was she angry that the maid in her courtyard dared to reveal her whereabouts, but she was also angry that Xiao Rongxuan dared to bribe her maid to find out her whereabouts!

Thinking about what happened in Anlan Palace yesterday, Xiao Fei felt more and more that Xiao Rongxuan was really misbehaving. If this continues, sooner or later, she will bring shame to the girl in the palace!

While I was thinking about it, a maid came outside to report that the second girl was here.

Xiao Fei raised her eyes and saw a maid leading Xiao Rongxuan, who was wearing a pink and purple engraved silk butterfly flower gown, into the hall.

Xiao Rongxuan came to Bixiaotang after being summoned by Nangong Yue, and she was also anxiously speculating in her heart that her eldest sister-in-law and eldest sister were looking for her for unknown reasons... As soon as she entered the side hall, she saw the scene at a glance , his pupils shrank slightly, and he felt a little panic in his heart: Looking at this posture, does it mean that the eldest sister has discovered it? !

Soon, she regained her composure, walked to the hall as if nothing had happened, and saluted Nangong Yue and Xiao Feifu: "I have met my eldest sister-in-law, my eldest sister."

Xiao Fei looked indifferent and did not want to talk around Xiao Rongxuan, so she scolded her straight to the point: "Second sister, what do you mean by selling the maids in my courtyard and asking about my whereabouts!?"

A look of grievance appeared on Xiao Rongxuan's face, she looked at Xiao Fei timidly and said: "Big, big sister... I know it's wrong to do this, but since I came back from the royal capital, I rarely accompany my sister. We were playing together, and then my sister thought about letting people pay attention to where her sister would go." As she said that, her little face drooped, looking pitiful, delicate and aggrieved, "It was my sister who was wrong, but eldest sister, my sister really didn't have any Malice."

In the past, Xiao Fei might have believed it, but now she is not so easily fooled by Xiao Rongxuan's few words.

Xiao Fei's eyes were slightly cold, and there was a hint of sharpness in her tone: "If you have no ill intentions, then what happened in Anlan Palace yesterday?!"

Xiao Rongxuan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Fei again, and felt panicked by her clear eyes.

She took a deep breath and murmured with a look of shame: "Sister, this is my sister's fault. Yesterday, cousin Mo came to play with me and said she wanted to see eldest sister. I lost my words for a moment..." Xiao Rongxuan sighed. , "It's all my fault, I didn't expect something like that to happen... If I had known, I would have..." As she said that, her eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she raised her eyes to look at Nangong Yue , admitting her mistake meticulously, "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, this is all my fault, everything is my fault!"

She looked at Xiao Fei pitifully, feeling extremely aggrieved.

The eldest sister was born as the eldest daughter of the royal family. She has a wife to take care of her, and now she has the favor of her eldest sister-in-law. In the future, her eldest brother and sister-in-law will take care of her, so she doesn’t have to worry about her future!

But what about yourself?

She was just a concubine born to an unpopular aunt in the palace. She also wanted to be friends with her sister-in-law, but she was born in a family and had no idea about the suffering of concubines like them, and she didn't look down on her at all.

Xiao Rongxuan twisted the handkerchief with her bare hands and bit her lower lip.

Cousin Mo is a concubine like her. They have played together since childhood, so she thought that if Cousin Mo could marry her eldest brother, then with Cousin Mo around, she could cheat with him like her eldest sister. It's close. But he didn't expect that things would not develop as he expected.

After all this night, Xiao Rongxuan still couldn't figure it out.

My aunt said that men are always fond of the new and hate the old, and they are greedy for beauty. Cousin Mo is as stunning as her sister-in-law, and she is no less beautiful than her sister-in-law. She is even more beautiful and charming than her sister-in-law. How could my eldest brother not like Cousin Mo? !

As Xiao Rongxuan thought this, tears were about to fall again.

Xiao Fei stood up, blessed Nangong Yue, and said, "Sister-in-law, although the second sister admitted her mistake, she still did something wrong. Please punish her."

It is the duty of a legitimate mother to teach a concubine, but Xiao Fei also knows that her mother may...

Although I am the eldest sister, I cannot punish my sister at will, but my eldest sister-in-law is like my mother.

Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Rongxuan indifferently, and keenly caught the unwillingness in the other person's eyes, which flashed away. Xiao Rongxuan felt that her own words were perfect, but in fact they were weak at all.

However, Nangong Yue was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. In the final analysis, she was just a concubine who had been raised crookedly by her aunt, so it was not worth arguing with her.

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and wrote lightly: "...Second sister will make mistakes. In the final analysis, she has not learned the "Female Commandments" and "Female Training" well, so she should stay in her room for a month and learn the "Female Commandments" ” and “Women’s Training” copied a hundred times, you will naturally understand the rules.”

"Sister-in-law is right." Xiao Fei nodded seriously and said, "It would be good to copy more books, firstly, you can reflect on yourself, and secondly, you can practice calligraphy. I used to think that although the glyphs of my second sister's handwriting are beautiful, they are not very good. My writing power is not enough, and the words I write look weak. I should practice more and write more." After saying that, she looked at Xiao Rongxuan and said calmly, "Second sister, when you finish writing, show it to me. Let me see if your handwriting has improved."

Xiao Rongxuan's face suddenly stiffened and her lips moved. In the end, she did not beg for mercy. She could only lower her head and respond calmly: "Yes, sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

A hundred times of "Female Commandments" plus a hundred times of "Female Training", how long will it take to copy...

The eldest sister still wants to read it, even asking the maid to copy it on her behalf.

At this moment, the tears rolling in Xiao Rongxuan's eyes finally fell uncontrollably.

At this moment, Huamei walked in briskly, knelt down and said: "Prince Concubine, eldest lady, Miss Fu Liu is here."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly and ordered the woman in the hall: "Take the second girl back to your own yard to receive the punishment!"

The mother-in-law responded hurriedly, led Xiao Rongxuan back, and happened to pass Fu Yunyan at the door.

Fu Yunyan glanced at Xiao Rongxuan's tear-stained face, and the old saying came to mind again: You will not survive if you do it!

A good royal girl will naturally have a future as long as she stays calm, but she has to fool around around here.

She was just a concubine, so Fu Quyan didn't pay much attention and went straight in. After meeting Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, he went straight to the point: "Ah Yue, my grandmother asked me to come to you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Fei immediately resigned in a sensible manner, and Ru Zhi was also dragged down by the two women. Zuo, the servant who betrayed the master, was just a slap in the face and sold.

Nangong Yueze and Fu Yunyan went to Yunliyuan where Yongyang's ancestors and grandchildren lived temporarily.

"Yueer!"

As soon as Yong Yang saw Nangong Yue, he affectionately greeted her to sit next to him. Fu Yunyan deliberately pouted and joked: "Grandma, I really doubt that A Yue is your biological granddaughter!" With that, Fu Yunyan was already He sat down on the other side of Yongyang with a smile.

Yongyang gave Fu Yunyan a funny look, and was too lazy to talk to her. He took one of Nangong Yue's hands and said lovingly: "Yue'er, it will be your hairpin gift in a few days, but everything has been arranged. Okay?"

Nangong Yue replied hurriedly and seriously: "Grandma Yongyang, I have already written a post and plan to invite a few familiar families to come and watch the ceremony." There does not need to be many people watching the ceremony, just those who sincerely wish you the best. Can.

Nangong Yue spoke in an understatement, but Yongyang frowned, feeling sorry for Nangong Yue.

The haircut ceremony is a woman's coming-of-age ceremony and one of the most important etiquettes in life.

If Nangong Yue is still in the boudoir, her mother Lin will help her organize everything; if her mother-in-law is a good mother-in-law, she will do her best to take care of it for her, so there is no need for her to do it herself as a daughter!

Yongyang narrowed his eyes slightly, patted Nangong Yue's hand, and said: "Yue'er, I'll arrange your hairpin for you. You just have to be responsible for saluting when the time comes."

Nangong Yue was slightly startled, with surprise on her face at first, and then a smile appeared on her lips. Grandma Yongyang was really kind to herself and A Yi, she was really like her own grandmother!

A layer of tears appeared in front of Nangong Yue's eyes. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, hugged Yongyang's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandma Yongyang, then I will be the shopkeeper of the hands, with Liu Niang and Fei. Sister, I went to play."

Fu Yunyan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Ah Yue, is this what you said? Where should we go to play tomorrow?"

The two girls talked about tomorrow's plans with great interest. Yongyang's eyes were filled with smiles and she sent them to play by themselves while she went to the outer study of the palace.

The chief attendant respectfully welcomed Yongyang into the study, and King Zhennan stood up to greet him. The two sat down on two armchairs by the window. The maid served hot tea and then left.

"Your Highness..." King Zhennan felt a little uneasy and a little wary. Yongyang had never come to see him since he arrived in Luoyue City. So what was it for this time?

Refugees!

Recently, only the refugee incident may have alarmed Princess Yongyang!

Who wants——

Yongyang asked, "Your Majesty, in a few days it will be the hairpin ceremony for the Crown Princess. I wonder if your Majesty has any plans?"

The crown prince’s hairpin ceremony... King Zhennan was startled. He didn’t expect that Yongyang came to him not for the refugees, but for the crown prince’s hairpin ceremony? ! He was a little dumbfounded for a moment. Hairdressing was a woman's business, and it was none of his business. It should naturally be handled by Xiao Fang or Wei.

The King of Zhennan had a headache, so he could only bite the bullet and said that he would ask Concubine Wei to send invitations to the various houses with which he was familiar, and then prepare a few tables...

For the King of Zhennan, the hairpin ceremony was nothing more than dressing his daughter in new clothes, inviting people to come to the palace to observe the ceremony, and then having hairpins inserted by the guests. It's just a small thing to say, just watch the ceremony and have a banquet and then it's over.

Who would have thought that the more he spoke, the tighter Yongyang's brows furrowed.

Nangong Yue is the crown prince, and Wei is just a concubine. It is not in line with the rules for Wei to give her hairpin gift. King Zhennan also forgot a very important point... Yongyang couldn't help but He said in a deep voice: "My lord, Yue'er is the eldest concubine of the palace. On the day she gets her hairpin, she should go to the ancestral hall to worship first. I wonder if your lord is prepared..."

Yongyang asked implicitly. As Nangong Yue, on the day of the Hairpin Ceremony, the heads and elders of the Xiao family clan should be present. What she wanted to ask was whether King Zhennan had informed the date.

The King of Zhennan's face froze when he heard this.

Yongyang immediately noticed something was wrong and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the problem?"

The King of Zhennan hesitated for a moment, thinking that there was no way he could hide this matter. Even if he didn't tell anyone now, Yongyang would know it if he just asked someone. Then he would be disadvantaged, so he replied: "Your Majesty The concubine has not yet entered the family tree, so the ancestral hall..."

Hearing this, Yongyang's entire face darkened. It is not included in the family tree, which means that the Xiao family does not recognize Nangong Yue as their daughter-in-law!

Yongyang said coldly: "Your Majesty, it's been more than a year and a half since Yue'er married Ayi. Your Majesty doesn't want Yue'er to be included in the family tree, but what do you think about this marriage?"

Yongyang's words are quite rude, and he is asking whether King Zhennan is dissatisfied with the marriage given by the emperor!

The King of Zhennan was extremely embarrassed. He originally planned to take advantage of the traitor by entering the family tree, but who knew that the traitor would not obey the discipline, so the matter ended in a stalemate. But this reason cannot always be stated openly.

He had an idea and said in a stiff tone: "Your Highness, according to the rules of the Xiao family, it takes three months after entering the family to be listed in the family tree and become the real daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. The imperial concubine has not returned to southern Xinjiang for a few days... ”

The Xiao family does have this clan rule, and it is not just the Xiao family that has similar clan rules. These families set up this clan rule to see if the newly married daughter-in-law is virtuous and filial, and Nangong Yue has since After marrying Xiao Yi, he has been far away from the royal capital, so although King Zhennan's reason is far-fetched, it is not unreasonable when it comes to going outside.

The King of Zhennan coughed dryly and said without realizing it: "After this period of time, I also feel that the Crown Princess is virtuous and virtuous. I have told the clan leader two days ago that the tenth day of June is an auspicious day. The ancestral hall will be opened on that day."

Yongyang is not a fool, so he naturally knows that King Zhennan is just talking for a moment, but now that things have come to light, it is just for temporary pleasure and will not help the situation.

Yongyang's face was still stern and he said calmly: "In this case, I will feel relieved."

Her tone was light and casual, but she was not angry or intimidating. Just sitting and staring like this, she released a kind of majesty that made King Zhennan break out in a cold sweat, as if he was back to his youth again.

After that, Yongyang told King Zhennan that he would be responsible for Nangong Yue’s hairpin ceremony, and he didn’t sit still for long and stood up to leave.

The King of Zhennan personally sent the person out of the study room...

That night, just after Xiao Yi came back, King Zhennan sent someone over, saying that he would open the ancestral hall three days later, on the tenth day of June, to let the eldest concubine Nangong Yue enter the family tree.

Both Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue knew that it was Yong Yang who probably said something to King Zhennan that made King Zhennan suddenly change his mind. Although Xiao Yi was persuaded by Nangong Yue, he still felt a thorn in his heart about this matter. He didn't want his smelly girl to feel any grievance.

Now the situation is finally clear.

As the time for the hair-raising ceremony approached, posts were also sent out in an envelope from the Palace Affairs Office. All the mansions in southern Xinjiang were in a commotion for the Crown Princess' hair-raising ceremony. Early that morning, a three-person A ten-year-old woman wearing an agarwood-colored gown came to Tian Mansion.

Mrs. Tian is meeting guests in her small flower hall.

Today's uninvited guest is General Tang Qinghong's wife.

In fact, the two families were only casual acquaintances on weekdays, and Mrs. Tian didn’t know why Mrs. Tang would take the liberty to visit.

After the two ladies greeted each other and sat down, Mrs. Tang chatted with Mrs. Tian for a while, and then tentatively said: "Mrs. Tian, ​​in a few days it will be the crown prince's hairpin gift. I yesterday I just heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Yongyang is preparing for the hairpin ceremony of the Crown Princess..." Mrs. Tang's tone was a little complicated. Due to old grudges, her family and the Crown Prince were at loggerheads. Last time, the Crown Princess There was a banquet held at Bixiao Hall. Although I received the message, I didn't go there at all.

But this time is different. This time the hairpin ceremony was performed by Yongyang himself!

Yongyang is not only the emperor's aunt, she also has a special prestige in the Southern Xinjiang army. After all, many of the veterans left over from the Nanwang period in Old Town were once Yongyang's colleagues, and they were very fond of her. Respect. If Tang Mansion doesn't receive the post this time, wouldn't it mean that he will be looked down upon by various governments in the future? !

How Mrs. Tian could not see the entanglement in Mrs. Tang's heart, but she pretended not to know, and nodded lukewarmly: "Yes, I heard that His Highness always treats the Crown Princess as his own granddaughter. This time I have come all the way just to be the guest of honor for the crown prince’s hairpin ceremony.”

Mrs. Tang was shocked. Although she heard that Yongyang did not live in the palace after coming to Luoyue City, but lived in Bixiaotang, she and her husband had also speculated that the prince or the prince's concubine were together. Yong Yang may have a close relationship... But until now, this was confirmed from Doctor Tian's words.

This is not a good time... Mrs. Tang felt a little panicked, so she changed her name affectionately and said: "Sister Feng, do you know if your mansion has received the invitation for the crown prince's hairpin ceremony?"

Mrs. Tian nodded with a smile and said, "I just received the post yesterday." She wisely did not ask back. Looking at Mrs. Tang's look, she knew that the Tang family must not have received the post.

Mrs. Tang was not surprised by Mrs. Tian’s answer. As far as she knew, the Yao Mansion had also received the post, so how could the Tian Mansion not receive it. Tianfu and Bixiaotang are close. Not only is General Tian close to the Crown Prince, but Tian Detao, the grandson of Tian's parents, is also entrusted by the Crown Prince with the important task of sending to the southwest border to appease the people. He left the day before yesterday.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tang also felt a little emotional. Hearing about the merits of this deputy envoy of Xuanfu, the King of Zhennan originally wanted to give it to his nephew Fang Shilei. Who knew that Fang Shilei was unlucky and broke his leg at this juncture... After that, the King of Zhennan wanted to change the job again. It was given to Mrs. Qiao's eldest son Qiao Shenyu, but Qiao Shenyu didn't know what was wrong with him, so he pretended to be sick and refused to go. As a result, he was punished by the prince with thirty army sticks and beaten to bruises. He probably wouldn't be able to stay there for another month or two. . The King of Zhennan was so angry that he handed the matter over to the crown prince, which allowed Tian Detao to take advantage!

Mrs. Tang actually felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't the King of Zhennan consider his own son for such a good job? ! Deputy Ambassador Xuanfu is a sixth-grade military attache, and his son is still a seventh-grade captain. Now he is a big step behind Tian Detao!

The more Mrs. Tang thought about it, the more she felt sour. She talked nonsense with Mrs. Tian and excused herself...

Not only the Tang Mansion, but other mansions that have not received invitations are also anxious, thinking about whether they should shamelessly go to Bixiaotang and ask for an invitation...

Xiao Yi has no control over what happens to the various houses in the city. At this moment, he is in the VIP room of Zhenbaoxuan, the most famous jewelry shop in Luoyue City, looking over and over at the hairpin in his hand, feeling very good.

Looking at Xiao Yi's expression, he seemed quite satisfied. The shopkeeper said cautiously: "Master Wang, the master Wang in our store is the best master in Luoyue City... no, the best master in the entire southern Xinjiang. He came from Jiangnan specially. Invited here, you can see that this craftsmanship is absolutely unparalleled..." the shopkeeper boasted endlessly.

Xiao Yi carefully put the hairpin into the mahogany box on the side. He ordered this hairpin as soon as he returned to Luoyue City, intending to give it to Nangong Yue for the hairpin ceremony.

It stands to reason that Nangong Yue is already married, and the hairpin used in the hairpin ceremony must be prepared by her mother-in-law, but Xiao Yi has no intention of counting on the little Fang family!

Xiao Yi paid the bill readily, put away the mahogany box and left Zhenbaoxuan back to Bixiaotang. However, he learned from Huamei that Nangong Yue had gone to Lin Jingchen.

Xiao Yi went back to the study first to put away the hairpin, then rode out again, this time to Lin's house.

When he arrived at the main room of Lin Zhai, Xiao Yi discovered that not only Nangong Yue was here, but Fu Yunyan and Xiao Fei were also there, plus Han Qixia, the four girls were laughing and laughing.

Nowadays, Xiao Yi is very used to Xiao Fei's everywhere. He strode into the hall and saluted Lin Jingchen with a smile: "Grandpa, I come to your place to eat again!"

Lin Jingchen couldn't help but laugh. Of course he knew that Xiao Yi was here to pick up Nangong Yue, but he nodded cooperatively and said, "Okay, okay! I'll let you try my grandfather's craftsmanship again today!"

Nangong Yue stood up to greet her and said to Fu Yunyan with a smile: "Liu Niang, it is rare for grandpa to cook, so you are in great luck today!"

Fu Yunyan looked salivating, making everyone in the room laugh.

Lin Jingchen stood up, flicked his shirt, and said: "Anyway, we have almost discussed what needs to be discussed. We will discuss the rest after lunch... I will go to the kitchen first to see if there is anything else I can do. Eat, you little girls come and help me, I can't treat you to vegetables." Lin Jingchen joked easily.

Xiao Yi lowered his head and asked Nangong Yue: "Ah Yue, what are you discussing?"

"We were talking about going to the free clinic in Maofeng Town." Nangong Yue said with a smile.

Maofeng Town is a few miles south of Luoyue City, and the town is quite prosperous.

"Grandpa," Xiao Yi looked at Lin Jingchen and said, "Is there anything I can do to help? Don't be polite to me!"

Lin Jingchen smoothed his beard and said with a leisurely smile: "Ayi, we have already made preparations for the free clinic... We still need to prepare some commonly used medicines. Since you are interested, Ayi, wait until noon. After the meal, please stay and help us move the medicinal materials together!" Lin Jingchen summoned Xiao Yi politely.

Xiao Yi happily agreed, as if Lin Jingchen had arranged some nice job for him.

After that, Lin Jingchen went to cook, and several girls also went to help cook. Only Xiao Yi was sternly rejected. Fu Yunyan said directly and rudely: "Ayi, please stop making trouble!"

One sentence made Xiao Yi feel aggrieved, but made Xiao Fei laugh.

On this day, they had lunch at Lin Zhai and prepared most of the medicinal materials needed for the free clinic. Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue left together. At this time, it was almost time to apply.

The girls got on a green-covered carriage, while Xiao Yi rode on dark clouds and snow, heading towards Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

After passing through several streets, there was a sudden noise ahead. Many people on both sides of the street followed the sound and looked over, pointing and whispering.

After a while, I saw a wedding team coming over with loud beats of gongs and drums, and they were beaming with joy.

The groom, who looked innocent, was wearing a bright red groom's robe, with a big red ribbon hydrangea tied on his chest. He was smiling from ear to ear, looking silly.

The coachman let out a sigh and slowed down the green-covered carriage. He was wondering whether he should stop by the roadside and wait for the wedding team to pass by, or simply turn right at the intersection ahead and take another route. . The driver secretly looked at Xiao Yi from the corner of his eye, intending to see how Xiao Yi would decide.

Nangong Yue and others in the carriage also heard the sound of gongs, drums and suonas. Fu Yunyan curiously opened the curtains and looked in the direction of the sedan chair, wanting to see what the wedding and the royal family in southern Xinjiang had to offer. The difference...

The accident happened suddenly at this moment. A familiar female voice suddenly came from the sedan chair more than ten feet away in front: "Stop! Stop the sedan chair for me!"

This shout attracted the curious eyes of the onlookers around, and there was a lot of discussion, and everyone was wondering what happened to the bride!

Nangong Yue and the others in the carriage looked at each other in confusion. The voice sounded familiar. Xiao Fei directly said what everyone was thinking: "Cousin Mo?"
