Qiao Ruolan also saw the person clearly at this time, and her expression froze.
That was a tall and handsome young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his handsome wheat-colored face. Although his appearance was quite handsome, compared with the man who had been dreaming about in her heart, he was a world away. How can the light of fireflies compete with the bright moon!
This person is here. Could it be that he is the servant of An Yihou? ! Qiao Ruolan thought.
Feng Xing casually cupped his hands and asked, "I wonder if Miss, what advice do you have?" He had secretly followed the Nanliang people for a long time, and had met Qiao Ruolan a few times, and he couldn't help but have a look at her in his eyes.
Qiao Ruolan said with an air of dignity: "I am the cousin of the prince's palace. My kite broke its string and flew here. I want to look for it." As she spoke, she stretched her neck and looked at the other side of the arch bridge. On the other hand, she just let her look through the autumn water, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see coming out.
The kite is broken?
Feng Xing squinted his eyes. Although the rules in Southern Xinjiang were not as strict as those in the Royal Capital, the inner and outer courtyards were clearly separated, and men and women were different. Now that this cousin appears here, I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not with the kite, but with...
A cunning light flashed in Feng Xing's eyes, and he said casually: "The wind is blowing from the southeast today, and the kites will blow here. Could it be that..." He raised his finger and pointed to the southwest of the palace, "Could it be that..." Did the girl just release kites over there in the school grounds?"
The school ground is at the other end of the palace, far away from Qingyunwu, but Fengxing doesn't care. He clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and said reluctantly: "Although the girl was kidnapped, she has a good reputation. Flaws, but she is still the cousin of the prince and the prince’s niece. Presumably the prince will not let the girl not get married. Why should the girl be so worried about getting married that she has to go to the school grounds to find a husband by herself?!"
"Presumptuous!" Qiao Ruolan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she scolded fiercely, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes: He, how could he know that he had been kidnapped?
How could Fengxing be frightened by Qiao Ruolan? He grinned and said: "Although the girl came to pick up paper kites, it's not good for us to be alone now. The girl was kidnapped for two days and two nights, and her reputation Forget it if I don't have it..." He sighed and said plausibly, "I am from a good family, and I can't let a girl ruin my reputation! If the prince insists that I marry a girl, that will be troublesome!"
He really knew... Qiao Ruolan's body was trembling slightly, her face was pale, she was ashamed and annoyed.
After returning home safely, her mother told her that no one knew about her being abducted, so she tried her best to pretend that the nightmare had never happened, unwilling to recall or think deeply... But She had completely forgotten that An Yihou knew very well that she was kidnapped. After all, it was An Yihou who saved her...
Qiao Ruolan bit her lower lip, her lips almost devoid of color.
Will An Yihou look down on her? Will he despise her like this little boy?
The more Qiao Ruolan thought about it, the more she felt panicked and uneasy, and couldn't help but look across the lake again.
Seeing this, Feng Xing crossed his arms over his chest, leaned lazily on the handrail of the stone arch bridge, and said: "...I heard that General Tang who went to rescue the girl that day happened to be a widower and was about to renew his marriage. In fact, the girl also Even though I have had physical contact with General Tang, if you are really worried about getting married, why don’t I help the girl tell the prince, and the girl might as well get married directly!"
"You...what are you talking nonsense?!" Qiao Ruolan's face turned pale with anger, and she blurted out, "Mrs. Tang is obviously fine..." If looks could kill, Feng Xing would have died a hundred times.
How did Feng Xing know about General Tang’s family affairs? He was just talking about it. Hearing the words, he didn’t feel ashamed at all. He scratched his head nonchalantly and said, "I did it, it doesn’t matter. , you can be the second wife first! Seeing that General Tang is not too young, if his wife goes early, the cousin will still have a chance to straighten her up. General Tang has a beautiful concubine, and the cousin will not worry about not being able to marry her. It’s really the best of both worlds!” As he said that, he nodded vigorously, as if it was the right thing to do.
Qiao Ruolan's beautiful face turned blue and white for a while, and she felt a fishy sweetness in her throat. Tang Qinghong's rough and rude husband is old enough to be her father, but this slave dares to utter such arrogant words and ask himself to be Tang Qinghong's concubine!
This is unreasonable, really unreasonable!
Qiao Ruolan didn’t even think twice and slapped her away...
How could Fengxing be so stupid as to let her hit him? He quickly took half a step back, avoided it, and said with a smile: "Hitting is love, scolding is love, is the girl flirting with me?" It's a pity that falling flowers have feelings and flowing water has no intention, so I can only live up to the girl's good intentions."
"Who's fighting you..." Smoke was coming out of Qiao Ruolan's head. After saying four words, she couldn't say the rest.
After being bullied to this point, Qiao Ruolan felt aggrieved, and tears rolled in her eyes.
Fengxing showed no sympathy for her, and said with an unchanging smile: "The girl is still nostalgic, but you want me to help the girl propose marriage to General Tang?"
Seeing that what he said became more and more outrageous, Qiao Ruolan stamped her feet fiercely, threw up her sleeves and walked away.
Dou Kou was at a loss and hurriedly followed, shouting: "Girl, wait a minute, slave..."
Qiao Ruolan, who left angrily, didn't notice at all. Deep in the cobblestone path not far behind, Lily and Huamei watched the scene from beginning to end.
The two maids watched Qiao Ruolan go away, and then exchanged funny looks. Having Feng Xing take action, no, speak out, saved them a lot of trouble.
Now that the trouble is solved, Baihui doesn't plan to stay long, and is about to call Huamei to leave together, but when she turns her head, her eyes just meet Fengxing on the stone arch bridge in front, and the two of them look at each other unexpectedly.
Fengxing leaned on the armrest of the arch bridge and winked at Baihui. It was obvious that he had discovered the existence of the two girls.
Baihui smiled slightly and said hello.
Baihui and Huamei returned to the inner courtyard and invited Xiao Ni out of the small garden in a friendly manner. Xiao Ni was still a little hesitant, as if he was worried that Qiao Ruolan would not be able to find him for a while, until his mother-in-law reported that Qiao Ruolan After returning to the house, he followed them and left.
Then, the two maids returned to Tingyu Pavilion together to return their orders to Nangong Yue.
At this time, the sun has risen, and the sunlight shines through the treetops and casts a mottled light and shadow on the Octagonal Pavilion, which is peaceful and peaceful.
"Yu Bai!" In the Octagonal Pavilion, Mr. Fang was holding a piece of paper in his hand and said excitedly: "It turns out that the repeating crossbow that can fire ten arrows in a row was designed by you. This is really Yu Guo's design. It’s beneficial!”
While he was speaking, Baihui walked up to Nangong Yue and lowered her voice and simply said: "Prince Concubine, my cousin has returned home."
Nangong Yue nodded and said nothing more.
"Mr. Fang has given you the award." Guan Yubai smiled slightly, "I just made some slight improvements on it based on the predecessors."
As far as Guan Yubai is concerned, he just improved the repeating crossbow, which looked fancy but was of no use, so that it could be truly used on the battlefield.
Leave aside Lian Nu for the moment, the piece of paper that Mr. Fang held in his hand made him even more amazed. This piece of paper contained a special metal smelting method, which could be used to obtain the same metal as iron in a cheaper way. Metals with the same hardness, which means that if successful, the biggest problem of Liannu can be solved - the low cost.
In fact, as early as the improvement of the repeated crossbow, Guan Yubai began to try how to reduce the cost of the repeated crossbow. It took two years of hard work to achieve this result.
The reason for handing over the smelting method to Mr. Fang is because the Fang family owns most of the mines in southern Xinjiang and is rich in various mineral deposits. Coupled with the Fang family’s century-old heritage, they naturally have very outstanding forging masters. This smelting method can be improved so that it can be put into use faster. Secondly, Mr. Fang is A Yi's biological grandfather. This matter is a secret and must be left to a reliable person.
"Yubai." Mr. Fang said solemnly, "I will have someone try it immediately. Once there is a result, I will send someone to inform you." He knew that this matter was of great importance, and added, "Don't worry, it will definitely Nothing will be leaked out."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Guan Yu bowed in vain.
"Yu Bai, you are too polite." Mr. Fang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This matter is not only for you and Ayi, but also for Southern Xinjiang and the people of Southern Xinjiang... "Only when the military strength of southern Xinjiang becomes stronger can it be a sufficient threat to foreign enemies, and the people of southern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang can have a stable life and not be bathed in the flames of war all year round.
Guan Yubai said they had never seen Southern Xinjiang in the past, but Mr. Fang’s generation had survived the turmoil in Southern Xinjiang. They had experienced the turmoil in the previous dynasty and witnessed with their own eyes how the old Zhennan King The barbarians were expelled, and Southern Xinjiang became more prosperous and stable step by step...
Mr. Fang can best understand the hard-won stability and prosperity!
Mr. Fang didn't say much, just hit the mark. But the deep feelings revealed in his eyes and expressions couldn't help but also infected the people around him. For a moment, the Octagonal Pavilion was quiet...until a familiar eagle cry sounded, and Xiao Hui was seen flapping his wings towards this person. Bian flew over, circled around the Octagonal Pavilion and the courtyard, suddenly shot straight into the sky without warning, and then swooped down suddenly. The fierce momentum couldn't help but attract everyone's attention, and they stared blankly. It shows its air dominance.
Xiao Hui seemed to notice that he had become the focus of everyone, and let out an even louder eagle cry, hitting the sky.
Sitting on the tree, Xiao Si stared at Xiao Hui in the air, but he was gearing up and staring at its every move. His usually expressionless face became a little more lively.
Thrush narrowed his eyes and whispered in confusion: "What's wrong with Xiao Hui? It's like a peacock spreading its wings!" This was clearly showing off his flying ability!
When Nangong Yue heard this, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Hui's look in the morning that accused her of liking the new and hating the old. She lowered her eyes, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help laughing. Is this little guy here to compete for favor?
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled.
Xiao Hui performed in the air for a long time, but when he looked back, he found that Nangong Yue was not looking at it at all. He was so angry that he suddenly swooped towards a sycamore tree, shocking several sparrows and chickens flying around. One breath...
"簌簌簌簌..."
The sound of swaying branches and soaring birds can be heard from several yards away.
"Prince Princess, look at me, the birds in this house will be scared away by Xiao Hui sooner or later." Huamei said teasingly.
Nangong Yue said with some humor: "I see it is still unhappy about the carrier pigeon. Huamei, go and prepare some of its favorite raw venison. I will feed it during lunch. Coax it."
Mr. Fang looked at the sun and said, "It will be noon so soon. Yu Bai, you might as well stay and have lunch with me."
Guan Yubai readily agreed, "Then I'll be disrespectful."
Nangong Yue heard this and said with a smile: "Grandpa, the official son, I will go and have someone prepare lunch first."
She stood up, bowed, and then retreated.
After returning to her house, Nangong Yue quickly made a lunch list and asked someone to take it to the small kitchen.
Mr. Fang has been poisoned for more than ten years and is still relatively weak. Nangong Yue has always been very careful about his meals. After meals, he will add a cup of soup and some warming herbs. Now there is an extra Guan Yubai also needed warmth and nourishment, so he prepared an extra portion of soup and added a few more northern dishes.
After finishing all this, Baihui reported in detail the two or three things about Qiao Ruolan and Zhiyuan...
Hearing that Qiao Ruolan, a girl who had not yet left the court, dared to go to Qingyunwu alone, Nangong Yue could not help but show a trace of anger on her face, "You mean that Miss Qiao's trouble today was for the sake of the official?"
Baihui nodded: "Yes, Crown Princess. Fortunately, Fengxing came forward today..." Otherwise, with Qiao Ruolan's temperament, Baihui would inevitably use some tough methods, and might even attract Mrs. Qiao. In the end, it might make it difficult for Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue’s lips pursed into a straight line.
She did not expect that Qiao Ruolan would fall in love with Guan Yubai. Could it be because of Guan Yubai's "life-saving grace" to her?
So, does Mrs. Qiao know about this?
Previously, based on Mrs. Qiao’s words and deeds, it was clear that she had set her sights on Fu Yunhe as her future son-in-law, but now...
What on earth are these mother and daughter quarrels about?
Nangong Yue stared thoughtfully, her eyes dark, like a deep black pool.
Bai Hui also has a face as deep as water. With the young master's character, talent, appearance, and demeanor, it is not uncommon for girls to admire him. But Qiao Ruolan was too presumptuous. She came to the palace as a guest, but she used the third girl Xiao Ni as a cover, and then secretly ran to the outer courtyard to "encounter" the young master... She didn't want to be her best friend, in case the young master was implicated. That is a crime worthy of death!
"The Crown Princess," Baihui said again, "Miss Qiao Biao left in anger today, and she must have had delusional thoughts."
"Who is the official son, how could he be plotted by this little boudoir girl." Nangong Yue sneered and said, "It's just that Miss Qiao behaves so misbehaved, she still needs to be disciplined. Qiao Mansion I can’t control the mess, but don’t damage the reputation of our palace.”
Baihui covered her lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my servant once heard a country saying, 'If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being missed.' Don't you see that this is the case?"
What Baihui said was interesting, Nangong Yue couldn't help but chuckle.
A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she had an idea in her mind, and said, "Let's wait until the prince comes back in the evening."
Bai Hui understood this and sent someone to the concierge to tell him that when King Zhennan returns to the palace, he will come immediately to inform him.
On this day, it was not until halfway through Youshi that King Zhennan returned to the palace.
The sky became dark much earlier than midsummer. At this time, it was already dark, and the pale silver moon in the dark sky could be vaguely seen.
Platycodon led Nangong Yue and Baihui into the outer study room.
"My daughter-in-law has met my father." After Nangong Yuefu saluted, she ordered Baihui to give a list to Platycodon, who presented it to King Zhennan, "Father, this is my second uncle. I would like to ask my father to see the candidate for my marriage." Nangong Yue said with a low eyebrow, very virtuous and respectful.
The King of Zhennan scanned the list roughly. There were six girls on the list, all of whom were born in prestigious mansions in southern Xinjiang. He not only recorded the girl’s family background and ranking, but also listed her temperament and conduct. It's very careful, and you can tell that a lot of thought has been put into it.
Seeing the satisfied look on King Zhennan's face, Nangong Yue continued: "Father, my daughter-in-law thinks that the girls from these families are all very good. I plan to wait until the day of my father's birthday banquet to take a closer look and see. Which girl is more suitable for my second uncle?"
"Prince Princess, you have done a good job in this matter." King Zhennan was deeply satisfied and secretly praised her again: She is indeed a girl from a famous family, and she does things appropriately. Thinking back to the time when he asked Xiao Fang to choose a concubine for Xiao Yi, Xiao Fang chose all kinds of things. He didn't even think about the disciples who were worthy of Zhennan Prince's Palace, and her concubine niece... King Zhennan now feels disgusted when he thinks about the third room of the Fang family.
He coughed dryly and taught earnestly, "As the eldest sister-in-law, you should take care of your younger siblings. I will leave Brother Luan's marriage to you."
Nangong Yue felt blessed and said respectfully: "Thank you very much, father, for the compliment. My daughter-in-law will definitely live up to her father's trust."
King Zhennan nodded. He wanted to signal Nangong Yue to step back, but he heard her say hesitantly: "Father, some things have happened in the house recently, which is really hard for my daughter-in-law to talk about. But if we don't talk about it, , and it really hurts the face of our palace..."
When he heard that it was related to the palace’s reputation, King Zhennan frowned and asked, “What happened?”
Nangong Yue said hesitantly: "It has something to do with cousin Qiao."
The King of Zhennan frowned even more tightly. He had always loved Qiao Ruolan, his niece, and felt that she was well-educated and talented. But since the incident with the Nanliang spies, the King of Zhennan has had a huge impression of her. He feels that she is too frivolous for a girl. If she hadn't been pushy and ostentatious, how could she have given the people of Nanliang a chance to take advantage of her? machine!
The voice of King Zhennan was obviously unhappy, "What did she do again?"
"Today, cousin Qiao came to the palace to play with her third sister. Later..." Nangong Yue started from receiving the report from the mother-in-law in the small garden, and continued until Qiao Ruolan left the second door and went to Qingyunwu. "Fortunately, she was The people around An Yihou stopped him, otherwise..."
Her tone was impartial, she just spoke straightforwardly, and did not directly point out who Qiao Ruolan was for, but King Zhennan was not a fool, so he didn't understand, and his face became darker and darker, so dark that it was about to drip with ink.
What does his niece think of the palace?
Fortunately, she didn't succeed, otherwise what would An Yihou think of Zhennan Palace? ! Will An Yihou think that all this is his own intention? !
If Qiao Ruolan were here at this time, King Zhennan would probably smash a cup out.
As Nangong Yue spoke, she secretly observed the expression of King Zhennan, and sighed: "Father, cousin Lan was kidnapped by the Nanliang people before, which caused an uproar in the city. Although you, my father, are compassionate, The news was suppressed and not spread, but many people are still secretly speculating, and it has not stopped yet." After a pause, she continued righteously, "Cousin Lan should really take this as a warning and be careful in her words and actions. Instead of continuing to act so willfully just because you clean up her mess. There are no absolutes in this world. If there is another chance, where will the reputation of our palace be?!"
The King of Zhennan frowned and thought: The imperial concubine is right. If she hadn't happened to be bumped into by An Yihou, Qiao Ruolan would have ruined her reputation long ago. She finally escaped a disaster, but she was still so unaware of the seriousness. It had only been a few days before such a scandal happened again. If this continued, sooner or later, Zhennan Prince's Palace and herself, the dignified Prince of Zhennan, would be implicated. face!
"Prince Princess, you are reminding me about this." King Zhennan said solemnly, "It seems that I have to ask my eldest sister to control Sister Lan."
"Father," Nangong Yue said, "My daughter-in-law thought it would be better to send Cousin Lan to live in Mingqing Temple for a while."
