The Favoured Medical Princess: 708 Renjun (second update)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Nangong Yue and several maids beside her listened carefully from beginning to end, especially Huamei, who wanted to take a pen and record everything.
It turns out that this little doll has so much to pay attention to. Nangong Yue thought to herself that although she had not started sewing intimate clothes for her daughter, she had already prepared two pieces of clothing.
She thought for a moment and said: "Concubine Wei, I just sewed two small clothes a few days ago. Can you help me take a look. If there is something wrong, I can change it early."
The corner of Wei's mouth curled up, and she naturally agreed.
Without Nangong Yue's instructions, Baihui immediately went into the inner room and took out two small clothes, and respectfully presented them to Concubine Wei.
The child will be born in the early spring of next year, so Nangong Yue specially sewed two small jackets. One was bright red, embroidered with golden carps; the other was pink, tender and tender, like that The peach blossoms in early spring are like peach blossoms.
Ms. Wei was a little dumbfounded.
Not to mention the red color, which is suitable for both men and women, but this peach pink color is clearly for female dolls.
What does this mean?
Could it be that the Crown Princess already knew that her baby was a daughter?
I heard that the Crown Princess has extraordinary medical skills. Could it be that the Crown Princess has some secret method to know in advance whether the child in her belly is a boy or a girl? ...Otherwise, it would be too weird for the prince to "curse" himself to give birth to a daughter before he has any grandchildren.
Ms. Wei couldn't help but glance at Nangong Yue quickly, and saw her eyes looking at her expectantly, with no unusual expression on her face.
Also, the Crown Princess is the first child. Even if it is a daughter, it is a good thing to have a son in the next child.
Mr. Wei said to herself in her heart, and on the surface she continued to gossip about these two little coats calmly... It wasn't until the maid came to report that Fu Yunyan was here that she took the initiative to leave.
Of course Fu Yunyan did not come alone. There was a boy over three years old with her, and behind him was a woman in blue who looked like a nanny.
The boy was wearing a blue brocade robe with willow branches, his black hair was meticulously combed, and his round face was handsome and cute. Although he arrived in a strange place, the little guy still kept his eyes on the ground as he walked, showing good upbringing.
Nangong Yue's eyes couldn't help but focus on the little guy, lingering, feeling a little surprised.
When she left the royal capital, Nangong Heng was only one year old and hobbled, but now he is completely different. His face is rosy and he is full of energy. He can no longer be seen as the premature baby who almost lost his life.
It turns out that this little guy looks neither like his father nor his mother, but somewhat like his uncle Liu Qingyun.
As the saying goes, a nephew is like an uncle.
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue felt better, raised the corners of her mouth, looked at the little guy and said, "This must be Brother Heng."
Even Fu Yunyan, who is usually informal, subconsciously softened his tone when facing a three-year-old child and said, "Brother Heng, this is your third aunt."
Nangong Heng took a few steps forward, bowed to Nangong Yue, and said in a sweet voice: "My nephew, please pay my respects to the third aunt."
His gestures and words are very appropriate, but they are done by a child, which always makes people look a little funny, as if the heart is touched by a soft feather.
Nangong Yue almost couldn't help laughing. Brother Heng not only looks like Liu Qingyun, but also has some similarities in his words and deeds.
"Brother Heng, no gift. Come here, let me see you." Nangong Yue beckoned him over, rewarded him with a gold necklace inlaid with jade, put it on for him with her own hands, and rewarded him again A set of four treasures of the study.
Nangong Heng thanked Nangong Yue obediently, which made Nangong Yue even more happy. He asked him a few questions and learned that Nangong Sheng had already started to help him with enlightenment, and the little guy had memorized the "Three Character Classic" by heart.
After Nangong Yue gave him a few casual testimonials, he asked Huamei to take him and the nurse to play.
In the east room, only Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan were left.
After the child left, the room felt quiet for a moment, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Nangong Yue said: "...Ayi told me that my brother has returned to the capital."
Fu Yunyan forced a smile, with a hint of helplessness in his expression, and said: "Axin set out more than a month ago. Counting the days, he should have arrived too..."
When Butler Wu sent Brother Heng to Southern Xinjiang all the way that day, he also brought a letter from Nangong Mu to Nangong Xin. After Nangong Xin read the letter, he immediately became red-eyed and wanted to intervene. Wings flew back to the capital, but finally held back.
As a member of the Nangong family, no one is qualified to be willful when the family is in crisis, let alone make unnecessary sacrifices.
Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu sent Nangong Heng to Southern Xinjiang from the royal capital in order to preserve the blood of the Nangong family. Nangong Xin and Fu Yunyan must protect Nangong Heng, and at the same time retain some strength for the Nangong family to plan for the future. thing.
Those days were extremely painful for Nangong Xin. He often had trouble sleeping all night long, and Fu Yunyan certainly saw this.
It was not until later that Nangong Xin learned that the fraud case was over and Nangong Qin had cleared his grievances. He finally couldn't help but rush back to the capital alone, leaving Fu Yunyan and Nangong Heng to temporarily stay in Luoyue City.
Looking at Fu Yunyan's slightly tangled brows, Nangong Yue gave her a reassuring smile and said comfortingly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. The overall situation in the royal capital has been decided. Uncle Zhaoxue is safe at home. My brother will be fine if he goes back this time."
Fu Yunyan also understood this truth in her heart, but the capital was too far away. She was alone thousands of miles away, so she was always worried about what might happen.
"Ah Yue, you are right." She smiled in relief, and then laughed at herself, "Fortunately, you are back. It's a bit unfounded for me to think about things by myself."
She stuck out her tongue, looking as playful as she did before she was married.
The atmosphere in the room became relaxed. After Fu Yunyan smiled, he suddenly thought of something and changed his words: "No, it's not 'you' who are back, it's 'you' who are back." She was thief. Looking at Nangong Yue's flat belly, her face was stained with flying clouds.
Nangong Yue did not answer Fu Yunyan's words, but picked up the tea cup on the side to cover up her shyness.
Fu Yunyan didn't care, and said to himself: "Hey, it seems I have to work hard."
Huamei and Queer, who were waiting on the side, both twitched their brows. They had a premonition that the second uncle and grandma were going to say something shocking again.
Sure enough——
Fu Yunyan said enthusiastically: "Ah Yue, as I said in my letter last time, if you give birth to a son and I give birth to a daughter, from now on the two families will be married at the fingertips of each other, and we will continue to kiss each other. Do you think that's okay? ”
Don't let A Yi hear this... Nangong Yue's mouth froze and she said helplessly: "What if I give birth to a daughter?"
Fu Yunyan waved her hand casually and said: "Then I will try my best to have a son. If a female college student holds a gold brick, I don't believe that I can't give birth to a son in three years!"
There was silence in the room, and Huamei and Queer almost "sympathized" with Nangong Xin, who was far away in the royal capital...
While he was talking, a maid came to report that Xiao Yi was back.
So, Nangong Yue asked someone to call Nangong Heng back from the next door room and let Xiao Yi meet him.
Nangong Heng bowed to Xiao Yi in an upright manner: "I have met my third uncle..."
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly picked up by a pair of strong arms, and the ending sound turned into a low cry. However, he had been taught to understand etiquette since he was a child, so he immediately kept silent and pursed his lips together. The black eyes are sparkling.
The Book of Rites says that a gentleman embraces his grandchildren but not his sons.
Since Nangong Heng could remember, his father Nangong Sheng had never held him like this. Ever since he learned to walk, his mother had rarely allowed his wet nurse to hold him and walk. For him, this was the first time that he had been hugged by an adult. With the man in his arms like this, his field of vision suddenly became much wider.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked curiously at the strange third uncle in front of him.
"Brother Heng, you have grown taller." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
It has only been two years, but this little baby has grown a lot even before he reaches his knees. Will he grow this tall when he is more than three years old?
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Nangong Heng thanked him seriously, making Xiao Yi laugh.
Xiao Yi playfully flicked Nangong Heng’s forehead and said, “You grew taller yourself, why are you thanking me?”
Nangong Heng was only three years old after all, so he was a little at a loss for the moment.
Nangong Yue helplessly helped her little nephew and said deliberately: "Ayi, put Brother Heng down quickly, you scared him."
Xiao Yi shrugged, thinking: Boys can't be frightened so easily.
But he still put Nangong Heng down obediently, as if he just saw Fu Yunyan beside him, and said with a smile: "Liu Niang, I have sent someone to watch over at the capital, and Axin will be safe. You Just have fun with A Yue in southern Xinjiang with Brother Heng."
As Xiao Yi said this, he winked at Nangong Yue diligently.
Fu Yunyan read the letter from Wangdu and knew that the whole family was safe thanks to Xiao Yi in this fraud case. She couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard what he said.
Nangong Heng looked back and forth at Xiao Yi and Fu Yunyan in confusion. He didn’t understand what the adults were talking about. He could only vaguely understand that they were talking about Wangdu and his second uncle...
Nangong Heng pursed his lips. It had been a long time since he had seen his father and mother kiss.
He half lowered his head, hiding the longing in his eyes, and was about to cry...
……
Speaking of the Royal Capital, although the fraud case has come to an end, for the Nangong Mansion, the turmoil this time has not subsided.
After Nangong Qin wrote to resign for the third time, the emperor repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail, and finally "helplessly" agreed.
The emperor's imperial edict was personally delivered to Nangong Mansion by Eunuch Liu. He affirmed Nangong Qin's achievements over the years, rewarded him with a lot of fertile land, gold, silver, and cloth, and allowed him to resign and return to his hometown.
This holy decree caused an uproar in Nangong Mansion. It was not until this moment that the Su family knew that Nangong Qin had resigned from office and was leaving the capital with his whole family. She almost fainted.
She finally waited until the fraud case was revealed, and thought that the Nangong family would be more prosperous. Unexpectedly, her son would resign and return to his hometown at this time!
The more Su thought about it, the angrier she became. After Eunuch Liu left, she immediately became furious and scolded Nangong Qin for being unfilial, and even more resolutely stated that she would never return to her hometown.
In the end, it was the two grandchildren, Nangong Sheng and Nangong Xin, who continued to persuade. The Su family also knew that Nangong Xin was still the companion of the fifth prince Han Lingfan, and would continue to stay in the royal capital and accompany the fifth prince. The prince went to Mount Tai to worship heaven, and then he felt a little calmer. In Su's heart, she felt that the Nangong Mansion was retreating temporarily. After the fifth prince ascended the throne in the future, the Nangong family could still return to the royal capital.
After finally appeasing the Su family, Nangong Mu, Nangong Xin and Nangong Sheng followed Nangong Qin to his study.
The four pillars of the Nangong family all looked tired. After the four of them sat down, they were speechless for a long time.
After a while, Nangong Qin just said: "Axin, this time you go to Mount Tai to worship the heaven with the Fifth Prince, but you have to be careful." He rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was weighed down by a mountain.
Ten days later, the fifth prince Han Lingfan will go to Mount Tai to worship heaven on behalf of the emperor. Nangong Xin, as the fifth prince's companion, will also go with him.
Since ancient times, Taishan Sacrifice is a ceremony that only emperors can perform to worship gods and earth. The emperor asked the fifth prince to go on his behalf, which naturally showed his deep expectations for the fifth prince. However, thinking of the current situation in the court, Thinking of this fraud case, neither Nangong Qin nor Nangong Mu could be optimistic about the future of the fifth prince.
"Uncle, my nephew knows." Nangong Xin bowed cautiously. Looking at Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu, a feeling of reluctance and farewell arose spontaneously, and then said, "Uncle, father, eldest brother, you guys I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off when I leave."
Nangong Mansion has decided to leave the royal capital in September and return to his hometown. At that time, Nangong Xin is probably still on the way back from his trip to Mount Tai, and it will definitely be too late to see his family off.
The study room was filled with a touch of sadness, and in addition, there was also a sense of powerlessness.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Nangong family is a century-old scholarly family. Whether in the court or in the scholarly community, they have a power that cannot be ignored. However, how do they know that the Nangong family is just a small boat in the stormy sea? In the storm of heirloom, any wave can completely crush the Nangong family.
Nangong Qin Youyou sighed and frowned slightly. After a while, he asked seriously: "Axin, what do you think of His Highness the Fifth Prince?" His wise and deep eyes looked at Nangong Xin for a moment.
After Nangong Xin was stunned for a moment, he replied respectfully: "Back to uncle, my nephew thinks that His Highness the Fifth Prince is humble, diligent and studious, polite and virtuous, and has a good example of a king..."
Nangong Qin raised his hand to signal him to be silent, and then said: "Axin, I know everything you said." As he spoke, his tone became more cautious, and the air became solemn. "Axin, you are the companion of His Highness the Fifth Prince. You have been friends with His Highness for many years and have been together day and night. You must have some experiences that others do not have. There are no outsiders here. Please tell me your own views."
Nangong Xin hesitated for a moment. As a friend, the fifth prince was impeccable, but as the future emperor, he...
Thinking about it, Nangong Xin's eyes were a little complicated. After a while, he said: "Uncle, His Highness the Fifth Prince is gentle and gentle, which is his greatest advantage..." He swallowed hard, "But on the contrary, Same thing."
On the contrary, his gentle temperament is also the fifth prince's biggest shortcoming.
As a prince, Han Lingfan's modesty prevents him from using means to fight for power. For him, what he gains is a blessing; what he loses is a fate.
If the world is clear and the court is stable, after the fifth prince successfully ascends the throne, he will definitely become a king who rules the world with benevolence and conquers the world with virtue, and will be praised by the world for his benevolence.
However, all this is based on the premise that "the world is clear and the court is stable." Once the court is in turmoil, the fifth prince's gentle methods may not be able to deter the court. Otherwise, the king will be weak and the ministers will be strong. , and even the power is lost...
Nangong Qin Ziran understood Nangong Xin’s unfinished words, sighed in his heart, and said, “That’s true.”
The fifth prince has a modest and tolerant temperament, and is more regal than the current emperor. However, his gentleness may lead to a situation similar to that of today's court.
Nangong Qin has always felt that it is orthodox for the fifth prince to succeed to the throne, but now, even he feels that it is too difficult for the fifth prince to successfully succeed to the throne.
Taishan's sacrifice to heaven can show the emperor's determination, but the emperor's determination is always unable to overwhelm the courtiers' eagerness to move.
Nangong Qin let out a long sigh and didn’t say much. He just warned: “Axin, from now on you must be cautious when you stay alone in the capital... If anything happens, just go quietly. Ask your sister-in-law’s brother to help.”
"Yes, uncle." Nangong Xin responded.
Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu looked at each other, and then Nangong Mu said: "Axin, if you find that the situation is uncontrollable, you might as well persuade the fifth prince to go to southern Xinjiang to seek medical treatment."
Nangong Xin was stunned for a moment. What uncle means is...retreat?
Seeing Nangong Qin slightly tilting his head at him, Nangong Xin thought for a moment and bowed again.
The study fell into silence, a deathly silence...
