www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
At dawn, Nangong Yue quickly explained some trivial matters in the palace under Xiao Yi's urgent gaze.
Then the two went to Dongyi Gate together.
Fu Yunyan and Nangong Xin were already waiting there, and the group of carriages and horses quickly left the East Street gate and headed all the way to Zhuangzi outside the city.
Zhuangzi is not too far away, and the carriage drove there for more than an hour. I took a short rest and ate some farm food in Zhuangzi. In the afternoon, I went boating and fishing, and made a fire to grill fish. It was so leisurely.
Looking at Nangong Yue's leisurely and brisk look, Xiao Yi became more and more looking forward to the next trip to Nanliang. It's a pity that there are no hot springs in this village...
Because they had to go to the Great Buddha Temple early tomorrow morning to burn incense sticks, Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan returned to Zhuangzi to rest early that night.
On the second day, the four of them got up earlier, and the sky was just white, and they were already riding lightly on horseback to the Great Buddha Temple.
In fact, Xiao Yi had already sent people to greet the Great Buddha Temple and sent people to keep an eye on it. They were bound to get this incense stick.
When they arrived at the foot of Litong Mountain, it was not yet fully dark, and there were already many believers on the road.
This is not the first time for Nangong Yue to come to the Great Buddha Temple. She took Fu Yunyan to the Guanyin Hall to pay homage to Guanyin.
The front of the Guanyin Hall was empty. A seven or eight-year-old novice monk was standing outside the hall, craning his neck to look around from time to time. When he saw Nangong Yue and his party coming, he smiled and greeted them, and put his palms together in a salute: " Best wishes to the donor."
The little novice monk secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Crown Princess and the others came early.
Yesterday, the Crown Prince sent someone to send a message, saying that the Crown Princess was coming to Guanyin Hall to burn incense, so they must stop others and not allow them to mobilize troops, lest the Crown Princess see the flaw.
Since the prince and his concubine were traveling in plain clothes, it was of course inconvenient for the host to come and greet them, so he sent himself to guard them here. The other monks in the temple were also very nervous, fearing that someone else would come early...
Buddha said that all living beings are equal. In this holy land of Buddhism, if we insist on stopping believers from offering incense, wouldn’t it be considered a blasphemy against the Buddha? However, Zhennan Prince’s Mansion and the others can’t afford to offend the Great Buddha Temple!
The little novice monk is still young, and his behavior will inevitably reveal unnatural abnormalities. Nangong Yue immediately noticed the strangeness of the other party and glanced at Xiao Yi thoughtfully. Could it be him...
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue with a smile, without any guilt. As the crown prince of Zhennan, doesn't he even have the privilege of holding incense on the head of his concubine?
Nangong Yue glared at Xiao Yi, in a quiet place like Buddhism, now was not the time to argue with him.
The young novice monk almost couldn't wait to lead the four people into the hall. The maids helped light the incense and then handed it to the masters. The four people knelt devoutly on the four futons in front of the Guanyin statue.
Nangong Yue knelt down in front of the Guanyin statue with her hands clasped together and prayed devoutly.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, she is not just doing it temporarily. She came to ask for it last year.
Can we give her and A Yi a little baby now?
Both boys and girls, as long as it is their child, it is their most precious baby!
The corners of Nangong Yue’s mouth were slightly raised, and a fat baby seemed to appear in front of her eyes smiling brightly at her...
After a moment, she opened her eyes. At this time, Fu Yunyan beside her had just asked for the signature, and excitedly went to find someone to interpret it with Nangong Xin.
"Donor, can you ask for a lottery?" The young novice handed the lottery tube to Nangong Yue again.
Nangong Yue responded, took the bamboo stick, then held the bamboo stick reverently and shook it, and a bamboo stick fell out of it.
Baihui hurriedly leaned over to pick up the bamboo stick and handed it to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue stood up with the support of Xiao Yi. She took Xiao Yi with her and went to the side to find the old monk to interpret the signature.
After the old monk squinted at the bamboo stick, he handed them a piece of paper with a signature written on it-
Peach red willows and green willows fill the mountains in spring,
Spit out strange flowers and love to hurt people.
Flowers will surely bear fruit,
The storm swept away the golden wheel.
Nangong Yue read it silently, as if she understood the meaning of the signature, her pretty face was filled with flying clouds.
Huamei came over curiously, took a look, and said in surprise: "Young lady..., this is your signature!"
If the imperial concubine gets the signature, that means Bixiaotang will have a grandson soon!
Huamei put his hands together and said Buddha in a pure voice.
Even though Xiao Yi was not a Buddhist, he was overjoyed when he heard that it was a lottery. He felt in his heart that this great Buddhist temple was indeed somewhat efficacious.
I can actually see that I and Ah Yue are going to have a little Ah Yue soon!
Xiao Yi was in a good mood and boldly ordered to add five thousand taels of sesame oil money to the Great Buddha Temple. The little novice monk narrowed his eyes with a smile and hurriedly led Baihui to donate the sesame oil money...
After that, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue walked leisurely towards the forest of steles. Fu Yunyan and Nangong Xin went there first after untying the lot.
Xiao Yi held Nangong Yue’s hand without hesitation and walked on the path among the bamboo forests. Surrounded by lush green bamboos, it was as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world except for the bamboos...
"Ah Yue," Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue beside him with a smile as he walked, "There is nothing going on at the military camp for the time being. Let's set off tomorrow." Thinking that starting from tomorrow, we can get rid of those things Xiao Yi's eyes sparkled among the followers surrounding them, blooming with brilliance.
Nangong Yue's steps stagnated, and she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yi in confusion, slightly raising her eyes in question.
"Ah Yue, you are not sixteen yet, why are you so forgetful?" Xiao Yi deliberately touched the top of Nangong Yue's hair and reminded, "Nan Liang, didn't we agree to go to Nan Liang together? Is it cold?"
Nangong Yue blinked slowly, almost suspecting that she was hallucinating.
She agreed to go to Nanliang with Xiao Yi, but she thought that was a plan for at least one or two months later. How could Xiao Yi leave just like that!
Nangong Yue resisted the urge to hold her forehead and said patiently: "Ayi, Aunt Fu, brother and sister-in-law are still here."
The implication is that if there is a guest at home, the master will abandon the guest and suddenly travel far away!
Xiao Yi, however, showed no self-reflection. He tapped Nangong Yue’s forehead and said, "Ah Yue, you are just too stuck on details." He shrugged and said confidently, "You are one of our own anyway! Moreover, Xiao Hezi also prepared a house for getting married. If Aunt Fu, A Xin and the others don't want to live in Bixiaotang, they can just live at Xiao Hezi's place!"
Anyway, Mrs. Fu is Fu Yunhe's mother, and Nangong Xin and Fu Yunyan are Fu Yunhe's brother-in-law and sister. It is reasonable for them to move in with Fu Yunhe.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi quietly, and what he said seemed to make sense. But judging from her years of knowing Xiao Yi, if she is led away by his fallacy, there is no way she can return to the right path. It's best to stick to your principles from the start.
Xiao Yi didn’t expect to convince Nangong Yue so easily. He blinked, and his pair of twinkling peach blossom eyes turned pitiful. He shook Nangong Yue’s hand coquettishly and said: "Ah Yue, if it’s too late, you won’t be able to go again!”
The Huameis who were following dozens of feet away could hardly bear to look at them. How come it was the wife who acted coquettishly between the couple, but when it came to their master, it was the other way around?
Thanks to the prince, the ability of a dignified seven-foot-tall man to act coquettishly and behave is simply better than that of cats Xiaobai and Xiaoju!
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue without blinking, his eyes like cold stars seemed to be filled with a layer of water.
Nangong Yue sighed helplessly, defeated by Xiao Yi.
When he saw Nangong Yue nodding, Xiao Yi immediately raised his lips and smiled. If this was not a Buddhist holy land, he really wanted to pick her up and spin her around a few times...
It's okay, he just remembers it first!
Looking at Xiao Yi's sly smile, Nangong Yue's eyelids twitched and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Before she had time to think about it, she heard Fu Yunyan’s shout from the forest of steles ahead: “Ayue, Ayi!”
Fu Yunyan waved vigorously to the two of them, and Nangong Yue walked over quickly. Afterwards, the four of them visited the Forest of Steles in the Great Buddha Temple, and went to worship in other halls. After some vegetarian meals, they left the Great Buddha Temple together and returned to Bixiaotang.
Tomorrow will leave for Nanliang. As soon as Nangong Yue returned to the courtyard, she asked the maids to unpack and said that she would prepare some clothes for the trip.
The maids opened several camphor wood boxes in the inner room. The little maids were all very excited, wondering who would be able to go out with the Crown Princess this time.
However, when they heard that the Crown Princess was going out alone with the Crown Prince without them, they were almost frightened.
Baihui was still calm, but Huamei stuttered: "Shi... Concubine, do you want to go to Nanliang with the prince?"
This Nanliang is hundreds of miles away from Southern Xinjiang. Who will serve the Crown Princess along the way? !
Counting on the prince?
It’s good if he can take care of himself!
Nangong Yue also had a headache at first, but thinking about how rare it was to go out with Xiao Yi, she was more willing to obey his wishes. After all, you have hands and feet, why are you worried that you can’t wash yourself and make a bed? It's just a little troublesome to comb my hair...
She nodded with a smile and said: "Huamei, find me some riding clothes."
Huamei never questioned Nangong Yue's orders, but at this time, she couldn't help but want to persuade the Crown Princess.
Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Yi said enthusiastically: "Ah Yue, let me help you pick out some clothes."
Looking at the room full of maids, he felt that these girls were really an eyesore, so he waved his hand and said, "All of you, please go down."
The maids looked at each other and asked the prince to help the prince's concubine pack her clothes. Isn't this causing trouble?
But the master gave the order, and the imperial concubine did not object. The maids had no choice but to obey the order and retreated one by one. Baihui, who was left at the end, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Master, imperial concubine, Qiao." The eldest lady came an hour ago..."
Baihui had no chance to say anything further, so Xiao Yi waved his hand again impatiently. His aunt's arrival is nothing new. It's just an annoyance to his father. What does it have to do with them? !
Baihui was blessed again and respectfully left the inner room.
Finally his ears were clean, Xiao Yi glanced around the open camphor box, took out a set of crabapple red riding clothes from one of the boxes, and said: "Ah Yue, this suit is good, it matches yours." Skin color."
Nangong Yue is already very familiar with Xiao Yi's taste. Anyway, the brighter the color, the more he thinks she looks good in it. I didn't even think about it. They were traveling in plain clothes when they went out, so of course they couldn't be too ostentatious.
But...
Nangong Yue stared at Xiao Yi's face, which was even more beautiful than a woman's. Perhaps the most ostentatious face was his, right?
Or, just let him wear a curtain hat to cover his face along the way?
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue flashed a sly smile in her eyes and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Yi blinked suspiciously. Why did he feel like he saw a hint of..."disgust" in A Yue's eyes?
Nangong Yue felt something was wrong with Xiao Yi's expression, and smiled nonchalantly: "Ayi, how about we both prepare the same clothes?"
One sentence successfully diverted Xiao Yi's attention, and he thought to himself: This is a good idea, so that when they go out, others will know that the stinky girl is his!
He was about to speak, but his eyebrows moved and he looked in the direction of the door curtain. The next moment, he heard Baihui's voice ringing outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Platycodon is here. Please pass on the prince's order. You two go to the outer study."
Xiao Yi frowned, it was really troublesome.
He was about to say no, but Nangong Yue spoke first and said, "Ayi, let's go over and take a look." After saying that, she put down a lake-colored riding outfit in her hand and winked at Xiao Yi. blink.
Just now Baihui talked about Mrs. Qiao, and now King Zhennan has called them over again. It’s clear what is going on.
Xiao Yi curled his lips, and the two of them exchanged knowing glances.
Xiao Yi lingered on Nangong Yue for a while, and then the two of them went to the outer courtyard of the palace together, until they came to the outer study of King Zhennan.
In the study room, Mrs. Qiao was indeed there, sitting straight on a mahogany armchair by the window, with a straight face and cold eyes on Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue.
The two of them pretended not to see anything and stepped forward as if nothing had happened.
After seeing the ceremony, King Zhennan asked them both to sit down in a good mood, then glanced at Mrs. Qiao, indicating that she would start the conversation.
Mrs. Qiao took a slow sip of hot tea and then said: "Ayi, the Crown Princess, now Brother Luan's mother is divorced, your father is in his prime, and there is no one around to take care of him..."
Sure enough...
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes, secretly laughing: Mrs. Qiao must be too impatient. It had only been a day since the An family's banquet, but she couldn't wait to bring them in. She didn't know what the An family had promised her.
Mrs. Qiao held her airs and continued in a serious tone: "There is no mistress in this huge royal palace, and it will not be possible to spread the word. It is only right that the relationship should be renewed as soon as possible."
The King of Zhennan nodded slightly as he listened. His eldest sister finally thought about him recently!
If King Zhennan takes the initiative to bring up the matter of the continuation of his relationship with the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince, it will inevitably appear that he is a little impatient. It is really appropriate for the eldest sister, Mrs. Qiao, to do the talking.
The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth were slightly raised. He always looked cynical, so that Mrs. Qiao couldn't see his emotions for a while.
"I wonder if my father and aunt have anyone in mind?" Xiao Yi asked directly.
The King of Zhennan cleared his throat and tried to speak in a normal tone: "Ayi, just now your aunt just said that the An family intends to marry their legitimate daughter into the palace, what do you think?"
A flash of amusement flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes, her eyes were bright, and she thought to herself: If a father wants to continue his marriage, can his son and daughter-in-law stop him? If Xiao Yi dared to stop her, she would dare to make this matter a big deal!
Mrs. Qiao was waiting for Xiao Yi to object. The more Xiao Yi objected, the greater the gap between father and son. Then King Zhennan would remember how kind her eldest sister was to him!
Xiao Yi thought with his toes and knew what Mrs. Qiao was thinking. The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened, revealing a sarcasm that was not easily noticed by others, and said: "As long as the father is satisfied, what will A Yue and I do?" There will be opinions!"
Nangong Yue responded respectfully, with her usual low eyebrows and gentle eyes.
Mrs. Qiao was dumbfounded for a moment, and almost pinched herself secretly. Is this still her eldest nephew who opposes his father in everything?
The King of Zhennan was also a little surprised, and rarely showed a satisfied smile towards Xiao Yi.
Since marrying the imperial concubine, this rebellious son has become much more sensible and understands the difficulties of his father. No wonder the saying goes, if you get a good wife, you will prosper for three generations, but if you get a bad wife, you will destroy the whole family. This daughter-in-law really made the right mistake by making all the mistakes!
The King of Zhennan stroked his beard and said: "The crown prince will help take care of the matter of resuming the string."
Xiao Yi had a calm expression on his face and said with a smile: "Father, the Crown Princess and I are going to go out soon. Let's make arrangements after we come back."
"Okay, I'll wait until you come back." King Zhennan was in a good mood and agreed with a smile.
He didn’t think that Xiao Yi would deal with him. His son didn’t have any other advantages, but he had a straightforward temper. Method.
Thinking of the beauty he saw in An Mansion that day, a gleam of passion flashed in his eyes.
Mrs. Qiao on the side frowned and thought: That's it! She finally understood that Xiao Yi wanted to delay time!
Her eyes flashed, and she said to King Zhennan with a smile: "Brother, it's just a renewal, there is no need to be grand. Since A Yi has no objection, let's settle the matter as soon as possible. If A Yi and the Crown Princess want to go out, , I can also help take care of it first..."
King Zhennan’s heart moved. The eldest sister was right. Even if the Crown Princess is not here, the eldest sister can help with the wedding arrangements first. Then when Xiao Yi and the Crown Princess come back, they can hold it directly. It's a wedding.
Nangong Yue is already very used to the Zhennan King's temperament.
She smiled slightly and said tactfully: "Aunt, my father's renewal is a major matter for the palace, and my niece-in-law thinks we can't rush it." After saying that, she bowed to King Zhennan, "Father, the three sons of the An family The girl grew up in Xing'an City and just arrived in Luoyue City recently. Her daughter-in-law has no idea about her character... Father, the daughter-in-law thought it would be better for her father to send someone to Xing'an City to inquire about her, so as not to end up like Aunt Mei. Like...old things happen again."
Nangong Yue reminded implicitly, and deliberately directed King Zhennan's eyes to glance at Mrs. Qiao.
When he thought of Aunt Mei, King Zhennan's heart jumped suddenly. The heart that had settled down a little after divorcing Xiao Fang was once again high, as if he had returned to the original panic.
Yes! Aunt Mei was not sent to the palace by the eldest sister for Xiao Fang... but she almost caused a huge disaster to the palace!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan couldn’t help but clenched his right hand into a fist.
Although it was not clear in the end whether the eldest sister had anything to do with this matter, it was the eldest sister who took the initiative to bring up the matter of continuing the relationship this time. Wouldn't this An family girl have any problems?
The king of Zhennan couldn't help but become suspicious.
Originally, King Zhennan had ordered Mrs. Qiao not to enter the palace again, but today she was waiting for him at the door of the palace early in the morning, and successfully coaxed him into welcoming her into the palace by renewing her relationship.
But now that he thought about it more carefully, King Zhennan felt that there was something fishy about it.
The eldest sister is a bad person who can't afford to be early without any benefit. She spared no effort for this matter. Could it be that the An family promised her some benefits?
Thinking of this, King Zhennan’s eyes became dim.
Mrs. Qiao knew nothing about Aunt Mei, and she didn’t even know that Aunt Mei had been burned to the point of being burned to death. She thought that this person was just her husband in the palace. As for my aunt, she naturally didn't notice that there was something wrong with King Zhennan's expression.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said to King Zhennan in a sinister manner: "Brother, your daughter-in-law is too lenient. This is the first time I have heard of a daughter-in-law taking care of things in the father-in-law's house. , if you spread the word, you won’t be afraid of being laughed at. Zhennan Palace is not big or small.”
The King of Zhennan did not respond. He looked at Mrs. Qiao with a heavy gaze, like a sharp sword, as if he wanted to see her through. Mrs. Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She carefully recalled what she said and recognized her. Everything he said was on the side of King Zhennan, so there was no problem at all!
