www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
In King Zhennan’s outer study, the aroma of tea lingered, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.
"Master Hou," King Zhennan sat behind the red sandalwood desk. He felt helpless and lost his face. He twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment and said apologetically to Guan Yubai, "Our family is unfortunate. It really makes Hou Hou I’m laughing at you.”
Although Qiao Ruolan's surname is not Xiao, she is still his niece, and it was he who invited Guan Yubai to Qiao Mansion as a guest. However, his niece actually did such a shameless thing, even his uncle was embarrassed. No light!
Guan Yubai, who was dressed in a moon-white robe, took a sip of hot tea, put down the tea cup, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each of them does not become a dragon. If a dragon is like this, it will be even more so. What's more, he is a human being. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, so why should the prince be so harsh on himself?"
The King of Zhennan only felt that every sentence of the official language spoke to his heart, which was many times better than that of his rebellious son!
"The Marquis is still sensible!" King Zhennan sighed.
This An Yihou is really speechless. After coming to Southern Xinjiang, he neither interfered in the military affairs of Southern Xinjiang nor urged them to send troops to Baiyue. He even had some secret affairs between Aunt Mei and Xiao Fang last time. Also helped Zhou Xuan.
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he felt that An Yihou was really good. It was no wonder that his dizzy niece became obsessed with him, as if she had lost her mind.
But...
The King of Zhennan had a thought in his mind. Thinking about it this way, An Yihou was indeed a suitable son-in-law candidate. He happened to have a legitimate daughter waiting for him... At this moment, the King of Zhennan had long forgotten his original scruples and subconsciously asked Said: "I wonder if Mr. Hou has ever been engaged?"
Hearing this, Xiaosi on the side twitched his eyebrows and thought to himself: Why are there so many idlers in Zhennan Palace who like to meddle in other people’s business?
Guan Yubai was slightly startled, half-casting his eyes and said: "No."
He didn't say anything more. King Zhennan was stunned at first. Guan Yubai was already quite old after all, but then he thought of Guan Yubai's life experience and couldn't help but sigh.
However, there is a saying: There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having heirs... After the idea came to King Zhennan's heart, he became a little excited. Just as he was about to speak, Platycodon grandiflorum came in and announced: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are here. ."
The arrival of Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue suddenly diverted King Zhennan's attention. For the sake of his precious grandson, he even looked at Xiao Yi with a gentle expression.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yi would say shocking words as soon as he entered the room: "Father, since Qiao Ruolan is crazy, I might as well have someone send her to Qingyue Nunnery."
Xiao Yi was extremely bored with Qiao Ruolan and called her by her first name, not even bothering to call her cousin.
Qingyue Temple? ! The King of Zhennan frowned slightly. Qingyue Nunnery was said to be a nunnery, but in fact it was almost like a female prison. Mingqing Temple was just a place of poverty, but Qingyue Nunnery was harsh. Those who would be sent to Qingyue Nunnery were either insane or crazy. , or committed an unforgivable mistake... After being sent there, it is basically impossible to come back. I heard that a few years ago, an aunt was taken back by the concubine of the separated family, but the aunt had long been Just like a lost soul, dull and cowardly.
Is this too severe a penalty? King Zhennan was still hesitating when he heard Xiao Yi say again casually: "Father, even Shuyao Women's Academy can't control her, do you have any better suggestions?"
The King of Zhennan wanted to propose "Mingqing Temple", but he swallowed it back. Yes, last time it was Qiao Ruolan who didn't want to go to Mingqing Temple. He couldn't resist the eldest sister, so he sent Qiao Ruolan to Shu. I didn’t expect that she escaped from Shuyao Women’s Home and was kidnapped, making herself crazy...
This niece is hopeless!
King Zhennan rubbed his brows and said tiredly: "It's up to you."
Xiao Yi curled his lips and said rudely: "Father, I'll leave it to you to take care of my eldest aunt..." Although he doesn't mind being a villain, he can't leave his father idle, and he should Let him play some role, right?
Thinking of Mrs. Qiao, King Zhennan’s head began to hurt again.
At this time, Guan Yubai stood up and said: "It is not convenient for Yubai to interfere with the family affairs of the prince's palace. Prince, I will leave first."
"Master Marquis, please help yourself." King Zhennan nodded politely.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Xiao Yi did not intend to stay long, and said again: "Father, you are busy with official duties, so A-Yue and I will not disturb you." He and Nangong Yue came and went in a hurry, and before they sat down, they patted each other. Butt walked away, leaving King Zhennan rubbing his temples irritably. Everything has been going badly recently.
After leaving the study, Xiao Yi wanted to suggest that he go to Qingyunwu where Guan Yubai had a seat. At this time, Baihui walked over quickly and said: "Master, the concubine, the second aunt and grandma are bringing Master Hengbiao." When she heard that the old man of the Lin family was at Mr. Fang's place, she went to Tingyuge first."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Nangong Yue and changed his mind.
"Xiao Bai, how about you come with us to listen to the rain pavilion and sit there for a while?" Xiao Yi suggested.
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, and the three of them walked slowly towards Tingyu Pavilion.
Listening to the sound of chatter and laughter in the rain pavilion, Mr. Fang was taking Nangong Heng’s homework test. Nangong Heng’s serious but unable to hide his milky answers made the two old men burst into hearty laughter from time to time.
As soon as Xiao Yi and the others arrived, Mrs. Fang and the others naturally looked at them. Before they had time to greet them, Lin Jingchen said kindly: "Yubai, come here, I will take your pulse again." ."
Lin Jingchen has always been like this, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. Lin Jingchen diagnoses Guan Yubai's pulse while the others greet each other.
"Ah Yue," Fu Yunyan took Nangong Yue's hand, his eyes lingered on her abdomen for a moment, and sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I can't stay in Luo Yue City to see your baby born..."
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said, "Sister-in-law, are you and Brother Heng leaving?" She held Fu Yunyan's hand with her backhand, reluctant to leave, although she also knew that Fu Yunyan and Nangong Heng were leaving. Staying in southern Xinjiang is just a temporary measure, and you will have to leave sooner or later.
Fu Yunyan pulled Nangong Yue to sit down, and said with some reluctance and nostalgia: "Ah Yue, my family sent someone to pick up Brother Heng today. I plan to send Brother Heng back to Jiangnan first, and then go to the royal capital. ."
Now only Nangong Xin is left in the Nangong family in the capital. Even though his grandmother is taking care of him in the capital, Fu Yunyan still feels uneasy.
Nangong Yue also thought of her brother Nangong Xin, and her mood was a little complicated and solemn.
Seeing this, Fu Yunyan changed the subject with a smile: "Ah Yue, why didn't you go to Qiao's house today? You missed a good show!" Fu Yunyan blinked. She originally thought that Nangong Yue would also go, so she I went over to join in the fun when I had nothing to do, but unexpectedly I got an unexpected "surprise".
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, and immediately guessed that Fu Yunyan was probably talking about Qiao Ruolan, and reflexively glanced at Guan Yubai, who was sitting next to Lin Jingchen.
Fu Yunyan squeezed Nangong Yue's palm, and the two exchanged knowing looks.
Fu Yunyan lowered her voice and talked to Nangong Yue about today's farce in the Qiao Mansion. In fact, Mrs. Qiao was really tricked by her daughter Qiao Ruolan this time!
Obviously, Mrs. Qiao really wanted to find a good son-in-law for Qiao Ruolan, so today at the table of female guests, she talked to the other ladies in a kind manner and introduced her daughter to them, but Qiao Ruolan kept It's sarcastic. Those ladies only thought that Qiao Ruolan was shy...until she heard that King Zhennan and Marquis An Yi were coming, Qiao Ruolan excused herself to change clothes and left the flower hall where the guests were being held.
Originally, if Qiao Ruolan was a guest in Beppu today, her plan might not be easy to succeed. However, in Qiao Mansion, it was too easy for Qiao Ruolan to walk between the inner and outer courtyards. She slipped all the way to the outer courtyard. In front of King Zhennan, Vice General Qiao and all the guests, she expressed her love for An Yihou...
When the news came back to the inner courtyard, Mrs. Qiao and all the female guests were dumbfounded.
The incident this time was too big, and Mrs. Qiao couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. Madams from various houses had heard that Qiao Ruolan was ill before. Some said she was a nymphomaniac, some said she was crazy, but most of them thought it was just a rumor. It was not until today that they found out that Qiao Ruolan was really "sick". Just imagine , even if such a crazy girl is of noble status, which mansion would dare to marry her? !
Due to this unexpected episode, King Zhennan and Marquis An Yi left the banquet midway, and the other guests also left awkwardly one after another. The banquet in Qiao Mansion naturally ended hastily.
"Ah Yue, I see that Miss Qiao is a little weird..." Fu Yunyan reminded implicitly, "You are pregnant, so I might as well not see you in the future..."
Reputation doesn’t matter! If Qiao Ruolan suddenly loses her mind and goes crazy, and the servants on the side fail to stop her, and hurts Nangong Yue and the child in her belly, it will be too late to regret!
A warm current flowed through Nangong Yue's heart, and her black eyes shone with crystal water, and her eyes were a little sad.
Probably only loved ones will always consider themselves...
"Sister-in-law, I can save it." Nangong Yue gave Fu Yunyan a relieved smile. After calming down, she asked, "Sister-in-law, when will you and Brother Heng set off? I'll see you off."
"I plan to leave in three days, but Ah Yue, please don't send me off." Fu Yunyan smiled heartily and patted Nangong Yue's hand, "You are heavy, even if you want to show off, you can't be tired. Have you ruined my son-in-law?"
She winked mischievously, making Nangong Yue burst into laughter, and also attracted Xiao Yi's attention. He frowned slightly, feeling that Fu Yunyan really had bad eyesight.
As the saying goes, "Girls give birth to daughters and mothers raise mothers." Ayue, who has never seen him, has become more and more beautiful since she became pregnant, and her skin is even more radiant? That is of course the credit of his little girl!
"Brother Heng," Xiao Yi squatted down with a smile, touched the top of Nangong Heng's soft hair, and looked directly into his eyes, "Do you like my little sister?"
"Like it?" Nangong Heng nodded vigorously. Of course he liked it, and he also looked forward to his mother giving him a soft and cute little sister.
Xiao Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then pointed at Nangong Yue’s bulging belly and said: "Brother Heng, do you think your third aunt is pregnant with a little sister or a little brother?"
"Little sister!" Nangong Heng blurted out without thinking.
Xiao Yi smiled even more happily and touched the top of Nangong Heng's hair.
Their conversation suddenly attracted everyone's attention, including the two elderly people, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Fu Yunyan shook his head in amusement, A Yi really wanted his daughter crazy.
With a thought in mind, Fu Yunyan turned to look at Nangong Yue and said, "Ah Yue, I remember that your belly should be more than seven months old, right?"
As he spoke, Fu Yunyan's eyes sparkled.
You can determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl in six months of pregnancy. If A Yue’s baby is a girl, then she will have to work harder to give birth to a son as soon as possible!
"Yue'er, how about I check your pulse?" Lin Jingchen also looked at Nangong Yue, a little eager to try.
So, Nangong Yue, no, or rather her bulging belly, became the focus of everyone's attention again. Nangong Yue subconsciously touched her belly, thought for a moment, and finally shook her head.
"Grandpa, no need, as long as he is healthy, everything will be fine!"
Although she and Ayi hope to have a well-behaved daughter first, in fact, whether they are a son or a daughter, they will be their darlings!
"Ah Yue, you are right." Fu Yunyan added with a smile, "Anyway, your and A Yi's child must be smart and beautiful!" However, the temperament must not be like A Yi's...
Fu Yunyan said silently in her heart that Nangong Yue and she had a tacit understanding. They exchanged a look of concern, and then burst out laughing...
In the Pavilion of Listening to the Rain, the sound of voices, laughter and chattering could be heard one after another.
Not only Tingyu Pavilion, Qiao Mansion was also very "lively" at this time. A group of soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army once again surrounded Qiao Mansion. On Xiao Yi's order, they entered the mansion to take someone, and naturally it was Qiao Ruolan.
Seeing that these rude soldiers wanted to capture her daughter, Mrs. Qiao was furious. However, how could the few guards of Qiao Mansion stop the well-trained Southern Xinjiang Army? Qiao Ruolan was still captured. .
Mrs. Qiao could only go to the palace to find King Zhennan, but King Zhennan didn’t want to see Mrs. Qiao at all and turned her away. Mrs. Qiao was just about to make a fuss when Platycodon came. After hearing what King Zhennan said, he said that if Mrs. Qiao continued to make trouble, she would be sent back to Li County.
Mrs. Qiao was afraid. She thought about the last time that King Zhennan said he would not see her and then saw her. Knowing that her brother was angry now, she did not dare to make any more trouble and returned to Qiao Mansion dejectedly.
Qiao Xingyao was very angry after hearing the news. He reprimanded Mrs. Qiao for first causing her to lose her military position, and now she was going to cause trouble. Did she want to cause the Qiao family to be exiled like the An family and the Meng family? Mrs. Qiao didn't expect that this useless man Qiao Xingyao would dare to speak to her like this, so she slapped Qiao Xingyao's face directly. This slap made Qiao Xingyao lose his mind, and he covered his head and started fighting with Mrs. Qiao. The fight between the couple caused a lot of discussion in the city, and naturally some people reported it to the King of Zhennan...
"You said...my king's eldest sister beat my brother-in-law until his nose was black and his face was swollen?" King Zhennan blurted out in disbelief.
Chang Sui responded without squinting, not daring to say anything more. After all, this is the prince's family matter.
The King of Zhennan waved his hand to signal Changsui to step back, and let out a long sigh.
This brother-in-law is really pitiful. He has been suppressed by his eldest sister for decades, but this time the whole city knows about it, and he is afraid that his brother-in-law will not be able to live with it...
What if the brother-in-law is cruel and divorces the eldest sister? Then even if it were him, he would have no reason to stop the eldest sister... The eldest sister would have to return to the palace after being divorced, so wouldn't it be his turn to be tormented by the eldest sister?
In this case, I can only feel wronged to my brother-in-law!
The King of Zhennan stayed alone in his study for a long time and made up his mind.
I have to make it up to my brother-in-law!
So, on the same day, Mrs. Qiao received a gift from King Zhennan - three young and charming maids, which also expressed the position of King Zhennan. Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she fainted on the spot...
Nangong Yue naturally heard about all this, but it had nothing to do with her, so she smiled at most.
On November 13, Fu Yunyan and Nangong Heng set off. It was a long way to the south of the Yangtze River. Nangong Yue was really worried, so she simply let the palace’s motorcade set off with Fu Yunyan and the others. Anyway, she had planned to go to her parents’ home in the near future. As a gift, I moved forward the plan a few days...
Nangong Yue didn’t feel sad for a few days. The child in her belly occupied almost half of her attention. Her belly was getting bigger day by day, and the child’s fetal movements became more and more frequent. From time to time, he moved his hands and feet in her belly. , Xiao Yi is more excited than Nangong Yue every time.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Nangong Yue is too heavy to move, but in order to give birth smoothly, she still insists on walking around the small garden twice a day. Xiao Yi always stays with her every step of the way when she is in the house. Walk with her, talk with her, read to the baby in your belly...
What gave Nangong Yue a headache was that Xiao Yi kept calling Nannan, but what he read to "Nanny" were "One Hundred Battles", "Records of Military Training", "Weaponry"... Anyway Should I read the Book of Songs and Songs of Chu?
Time flies quickly as the two look forward to their child.
On November 25th, the weather became increasingly cold.
A motorcade was speeding along a spacious official road, dust was flying.
When the people on the road saw that the accompanying guards were all officers and soldiers, they all avoided them for fear of being caught.
Kui Lang, who was dressed in a blue brocade robe, was riding on a tall black horse. The whip in his hand was whipping the horse from time to time. Although it was dusty, his brows were full of high spirits.
"Consort!" A woman's reserved and melodious voice came from the Zhu Lun car behind Kuilang. A white plain hand slightly opened the curtain, revealing half of her beautiful face. It was the third princess.
"Princess." Kui Lang slowed down his horse slightly and walked side by side with the Zhu Lun Chai.
"Husband-in-law, we should be able to arrive at Luoyue City in a few days, right?" The third princess's face showed deep tiredness. The trip was tiring, and the third princess could only accompany the emperor on a hunting trip. Summer vacation, no one has ever suffered like this. In the past month, her days have almost been like years. She can only count the days to feel hopeful.
Finally, Luo Yuecheng is not far away!
Kui Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, unable to suppress the joy in his heart, and said: "Princess, we should be able to arrive in four or five days at most."
The last time he walked this road, he was Xiao Yi's prisoner. He was escorted to the royal capital by the Southern Xinjiang Army. After lying dormant for more than three years, he finally had hope of making a comeback...
They are about to arrive at Luoyue City, and they have the imperial edict of Emperor Dayu in their hands. As long as Prince Zhennan and his son dare not rebel, they will have to return the throne of Baiyue to themselves!
Thinking of this, a flash of determination flashed in Kui Lang's cold eyes.
At this time, another tall red horse rode over, keeping pace with Kuilang. The knight on the red horse was a middle-aged man with a short beard, none other than Pingyang Hou - Mingyue. The father of Princess Qu Jiayue.
"Your Highness, Third Princess," Marquis Pingyang bowed his head and said to the Third Princess in the Zhu Lun Car, "there will be a post station in more than ten miles. If you are tired, why don't we take a rest for a day and set off again the day after tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Kui Lang's face, which had already been anxious, changed slightly. Fortunately, the third princess shook his head and said: "No need, Lord Marquis. It's not far anyway. It's better to wait until we get to Luo Yuecheng to have a good rest."
"The princess is right." Kui Lang hurriedly agreed, then rode his horse forward and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, cheer up, there is an inn ahead of you, get to the inn early, you can get more rest tonight..."
Before he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!
On the official road, horse tripping ropes hidden under the gravel were suddenly pulled up. In an instant, the hooves of dozens of horses were caught...
The horses neighed hysterically, and dozens of horses flew out with the soldiers on horseback. In just the blink of an eye, the scene got out of control. People and horses fell to the ground, mixed with the falling and falling of people. Screams.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of sharp arrows were shot from the big trees on both sides of the official road, and they were shot at the carriages and horses on the convoy like a heavy rain.
