Chapter 974

The night was very deep, and Nangong Yue fell asleep.

Since Xiao Yi left, a lot of things have happened to Wang Du one after another. All along, she has been supporting herself and taking precautions step by step, so that she can't sleep well at night. However, as the day of Xiao Yi's return is approaching, all the pressure on her shoulder seems to be swept away, and her mood can not help relaxing. Especially in these two days, she can feel the dawn.

Just tonight

Nangong Yue was confused. Somehow, she seemed to feel something rubbing her cheek. Her eyebrows moved and murmured vaguely: "Xiaobai..."

"Meow --"

the cat's soft voice made Nangong Yue wake up in a flash. She opened her eyes, on a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes, shining in the dark, just like a pool of light.

He looked at her with a smile and purred again.

It's him!

Nangong Yue suddenly sat up and looked at him foolishly. He seemed to have no reaction for a moment.

Are you dreaming?

Xiao Yi see her for a long time no response, a will Nangong Yue in the arms.

His familiar and unfamiliar warm chest made Nangong Yue feel sour. She felt that her eyes were hot, and a layer of mist appeared before her eyes.

She buried her face on his shoulder, and a thousand words turned into six words:

"a Yi, you are back!"

Yue's, not from the high side of the palace, I'm holding my slender waist

Nangong Yue took a deep breath and surrounded her with his arms. When he smelled the faint smell of sweat on his body, he felt that his heart was steadfast. She said to herself, he has come back, what do you have to cry!

"Princess, do you want water?" Lily, who was on duty outside, heard the movement of the house and opened the door gently. When he saw the two people embracing each other by moonlight, he was shocked and almost called out. Her voice had reached her throat, and her lips were covered with her hands.

She opened her eyes in disbelief and said, "the world, the son of a son?"

The lily looked at the half opened ribbed window, and it was silly.

He used to like to sneak into his girl's boudoir. That's all. Now they are all married. The palace is still the residence of shiziye himself. Why don't you like to go through the main gate and prefer to climb the window? She almost scared her to death. She thought it was a disciple!

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue looked at each other as if there were no others. Nangong Yue's face was filled with a bright smile and said, "Yi, why are you back at this time?"

Although in terms of time, it's almost time for Xiao Yi to arrive at Wangdu, but the city gates are closed in the middle of the night

Xiao Yi said: "we arrived at the post station in the evening. I left them there and sneaked back." He looked at her with burning eyes, as if to say: praise me quickly.

Nangong Yue said as he wished: "I am so happy."

Xiao Yi's smile was more brilliant, and her eyes were shining like bright stars.

Xiao Yi is thinner and longer than a few months ago. His eyes are deep, mysterious and bright. After this experience in southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi seems to have grown up for several years. The whole person seems to be much more mature.

Nangong Yue asked, "Yi, when are you going?"

"Before dawn." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "in the morning of tomorrow, I will give the book to the emperor. After the emperor has determined the day of offering captives, I can come back! This time, I won't go any more. I won't go anywhere. "

Nangong Yue nodded hard. She suddenly thought of something and called out in a hurry Lily, lily. "

The lily, who had retreated silently, pushed open the door and said, "prince princess?"

"Go and prepare some food. Besides, the small kitchen should also be equipped with hot water so that people can send some water in..." After that, she pauses and says, "just say I'm hungry."

Xiao Yi came back without the imperial edict. Although the emperor would never investigate him at the moment, it would be a good deal in the future if anything happened. Although the people in this yard are reliable, it's better to be careful.

Lily also understood her meaning, nodded to answer the promise, then retreated.

"Yi, you need something first." Nangong Yue took him to sit down with a smile and said, "you didn't have a good meal all the way." No wonder they're all skinny.

Xiao Yi looked at her wrongly. He wanted to hold her all the time than to eat.

He looked at Nangong Yue with his burning eyes. Then he could not help laughing and saying, "Yi, I miss you so much."

This sentence is almost equivalent to a panacea, which makes Xiao Yi's hard work disappear after his long journey. The whole person seems to be in a daze, and his face is full of silly smile. If the generals in southern Xinjiang see this silly appearance, I'm afraid even his eyes will be shocked.After a while, the meal was ready. In a hurry, only a bowl of noodles was prepared. At the same time, chicken soup was always simmered in the small kitchen. Although it was only a simple noodle, it also smelled delicious. Xiao Yi was really hungry. All the way, he was so busy that he couldn't even live in the post station. He had to eat dry food to satisfy his hunger every day. In order to return to Wangdu as soon as possible, he could not get anywhere with so many people. He walked for twenty-five days.

Xiao Yue takes out the hot water and passes it out of his hand.

The sound of the water came from inside, until this moment, Nangong Yue began to have a sense of reality, Xiao Yi really came back.

I don't know when, the sound of the water in the inner room stopped. Xiao Yi changed into a clean and brand-new middle coat and came out with a head of wet hair. Knowing that this was made by Nangong Yue himself, Xiao Yi was very precious in his clothes. When he came out, he still laughed and stroked with his hands.

Nangong Yue looked at the middle coat, but his sleeve was a little short, so he had to change it.

Lily had already consciously retired, and Nangong Yue picked up a white towel to help him wring his hair.

At this time, it was the third quarter of Yinshi. At the moment of Mao, the gate of the city would be opened.

Nangong Yue is very reluctant to give up, but still take the initiative to say: "you should go."

Xiao Yi turned around, his arms around her waist, and refused to leave. Nangong Yue couldn't help smiling. He pushed him away. Facing his aggrieved expression, he passed the coat which was full of sweat and sticky mud with a smile and said, "put it on quickly If you ask for an early order, you can come back. "

"No Xiao Yi refused without hesitation. The middle coat was sewn by his smelly girl. How can it be dirty! "I'll go and replace the old one." Without waiting for Nangong Yue to hold him, he hurried to the clean room, changed his middle coat, held it out and put it away. Then he put on his coat and reluctantly said, "then I'm leaving..."

"Well..." Nangong Yue gently answered, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Xiao Yi gazed at her. Suddenly he leaned over her lips and gave her a kiss. Then his earlobe became red and he ran away from the window.

Nangong Yue looked at the half open window and gently stroked his lips with his fingers. His gentle smile went straight to the bottom of his eyes.

Nangong Yue's life became more and more absentminded. Until the morning of the third day, she finally got the news from Zhu Xing that she would offer captives at noon gate three days later.

That is to say, in three days, Xiao Yi will be able to go home in good faith!

Nangong Yue couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth, and his mood became clear in an instant. At this time, magpie came to the outside of the house and said, "princess, Fu Liu is here!"

The smile on Nangong Yue's face was even stronger. Fu Yunyan came here specially this time, and he must have learned the news of Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe's return. As expected, Fu Yunyan said happily as soon as he entered the door: "ah Yue, do you already know the matter of offering captives at noon gate three days later?"

Nangong Yue naturally nodded.

Fu Yunyan said with envy: "my grandmother told me that several times during the emperor's reign, the ceremony of offering captives at the Meridian Gate was held several times. The scene was magnificent. This is the first time since the emperor ascended the throne. Unfortunately, only civil and military officials can go to the Wumen square and watch it with their own eyes." Even if they are officials, only those who are qualified to go to the early Dynasty and above can go, so Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan must not be able to go.

Fu Yunyan wrinkled her small face, showing a trace of regret, but she soon regained her spirits and said, "I've thought that although we can't go to the Meridian Gate, we can go to the south gate to welcome them back to the capital. Ah Yue, what do you think? "

Nangong Yue touched his hands and readily agreed, "liuniang, this is a good idea." It would be great to watch Xiao Yi come back!

Lily also made fun of it and said, "the prince and the third son of Fu personally escorted the great prince of Nanman into the capital of the king. It must be very majestic."

"That is!" Fu Yunyan said more and more excited. "My grandmother said that on that day, the emperor would send the fifth prince to take several important officials out of the king to meet elder brother Yi and third brother. I estimate that in the early morning, the south gate and the South Street will be cleared and closed. At that time, many people will come to watch and offer captives. Therefore, we'd better book a teahouse or a restaurant on the South Street, and then we can have it on the second floor The elegant seats on the third floor by the window are sitting leisurely and waiting for them to enter the city No way

With that, Fu Yunyan stood up impatiently and said, "ah Yue, since I can think of this idea, others will also think of it. I reckon that those teahouses and restaurants will be full of customers. We'll have to go and fix it up. "

Nangong Yue was also very excited. He stood up and said, "Liu Niang, I'll go with you."

The two girls said to do, let Baihui Lily prepare an ordinary green carriage, with only two bodyguards, and went out with light clothes

Half an hour later, the carriage came to the south gate. Nangongyue and Fu Yunyan glanced around and immediately chose a teahouse named Laiyun teahouse.

The waiter in the teahouse heard that they had come to reserve a seat and bowed his head and said with a smile, "my guest, you are very lucky! Three days later, it was reported that the king's son of Zhennan wanted to go to Wangdu to offer his captives. Many guests came to reserve the elegant seat in the morning three days later. Now, there is only the last one left on the second floor facing the South Street... ""I ordered it!" Fu Yunyan forthrightly takes out a silver naked son. The waiter is more happy to see her, and leads them to the shopkeeper, and gives Fu Yunyan the wooden card that represents the reservation.

It was less than a cup of tea. Fu Yunyan managed the business well. Seeing that Lily said, "Miss Fu Liu, I must open a shop to do your business in the future."

shows between the lines of the lily, but Fu Yunyan doesn't care. "Since we have a right attitude, we must first start to be strong." With a wave of her big arm, she said again, "let's go to the elegant seat on the second floor and step on it by the way."

Four people with the second floor, that elegant seat is the nearest to the stairs, usually if you want to be clean, generally will choose the end of the corridor, but this time there is no choice. After entering the elegant seat, Fu Yunyan and Lily immediately ran to the window to see and were very satisfied.

The location of this elegant seat is really good, with a wide view. Not only Xiao Yi can see them once they pass the gate, but also they can see them go far away.

Although they had finished their business, the girls were not in a hurry. They drank some tea and used some snacks in the elegant seats, and then they left to transport the tea house.

After leaving the teahouse, nangongyue and Fu Yunyan got on the carriage again and planned to go back to Zhennan Wangfu. However, they did not expect that the coach had just arrived at the intersection of Nandajie and Tangren street, and the speed suddenly slowed down. It was almost impossible to walk. After waiting for half a cup of tea at the intersection, the carriage walked out of the town for about ten feet.

The driver's embarrassed voice came from outside: "world Young lady, there are many people around in front of you. It seems that they are watching the excitement... "

Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan looked at each other and listened to each other. They found that there were bursts of gongs and drums in front of them, "Dong, Dong, Dong". The sound of gongs and drums was shocking. Could it be that someone wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, which attracted passers-by to watch the scene.

Lily was most interested in watching the excitement and said eagerly, "princess, I'll go down and have a look..." The voice has not dropped, the person has no shadow.

Next, the carriage was still moving forward slowly, like a turtle crawling. Fu Yunyan yawned with boredom. Fortunately, Lily came back soon, but she said angrily on her face: "princess, this is ridiculous! It's ridiculous

Nangong Yue eyebrows slightly wrinkled, she has not had time to speak, Fu Yunyan has been unable to help asking: "how?"

Lily took a deep breath and said in a high spirit: "the one who was just playing gongs and drums was a steward of Prince Qi's mansion. He took a sedan chair and went all the way, shouting that they were going to Nangong mansion to meet the second girl and give them the son of a concubine! He really attracted a lot of good people by shouting all the way. It seems that they really want to go to Nangong mansion! "

It must be a bad intention for the prince of Qi to behave like this!

Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan are both angry at the sight of Lu, but Nangong Yue still has a trace of confusion in his heart. How could Nangong Yan get involved with the prince of Qi?

Nangong Yue frowned slightly. Thinking of this delicate time point, he doubted that Princess Qi would suddenly do something so harmful to others and self-interest. Was it because she made her shameless a few days ago that she bit people like a mad dog in order to retaliate, and Nangong Yan suffered a lot?

Or did Nangong Yan really have some unknown "connection" with the Qi palace?

Nangong Yue was stunned. What he had forgotten suddenly came to mind again. On that day, she met Nangong Yan outside the study of Nangong mansion. However, Nangong Yan didn't even say a word, so he ran away in a panic. Now I think it's really weird that night of Nangong night

Seeing Nangong Yue's face a little dignified, Fu Yunyan said, "ah Yue, you don't have to take care of me if you have something. It's the same for me to go home myself."

"Liu Niang, I'm not in a hurry." "Princess Yue sent me back to the palace immediately Although she wanted to go back to Nangong mansion, she couldn't just leave Fu Yunyan alone.

Fu Yunyan, seeing Nangong Yue's firm tone, said nothing more. He could only comfort him by saying, "ah Yue, don't worry too much..."

"I understand." Nangong Yue said lightly, "Princess Qi is really a trouble, but even if she is a real princess, she has no ability to force Nangong mansion to give my second sister to her son as a concubine." But Princess Qi did it. She was stupid enough to vent her anger, or was she really

Nangong Yue's eyes were slightly heavy and thoughtful.

After Fu Yunyan was sent back to Princess yongyang's mansion, nangongyue's Qingpeng carriage went to Nangong mansion again.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the Hutong, she heard a lot of noise in the carriage. When she lifted the curtain and looked out, she could see that there were many good passers-by around the gate of Nangong mansion, pointing and whispering to Nangong mansion.

In the center of the crowd, a thin middle-aged man was yelling at the gate of Nangong Mansion: "I'm not proud of you! What a shame! Isn't your Nangong mansion a home of etiquette? Is this your way to treat guests? We have a large number of princesses. If you are willing to let our son take you two girls as concubines, you will be satisfied. "

The porter of Nangong mansion frowned and said impatiently, "steward Li, our two wives have already said that you are not welcome. You'd better go, or I won't be rude to you! " Let this mad dog continue to make trouble in front of the house, and in the end, he may become himself!"What do you want to do?" Li is in charge of the matter, but the rascal straightened his chest and said, "I'm from Prince Qi's mansion. Do you dare to beat me? It's clear that the girls from Nangong mansion and my son in law are in love with each other, and they have to rely on us all Ah

He didn't finish his words, he screamed. I don't know who kicked him in the back of his back and fell him to the ground. He was in a mess.

"Who?" "Do you know that I am..."

When he turned back, he saw two men standing behind him. One of them didn't want to listen to Li Guanshi's nonsense. He stepped on his back rudely. After Li, he saw the blue skirt coming into his eyes. A servant girl said faintly, "teach a good lesson, tie up the people and send them to Jingzhao mansion." She looked down at Li Guanshi with a trace of disdain on her face. "How dare you dare to make trouble everywhere in the name of Lord Qi's residence, and destroy the reputation of Lord Qi's residence. It's just a matter of life and death!"

Li Guanshi's heart thumped. If he really became a liar in the name of Prince Qi's residence, he would have been beaten in vain. "Do you dare to hit me?" he cried in a panic? I'm in charge of Prince Qi's residence! Princess Qi sent me here... "

"Shut up!" Baihui interrupted him coldly and said in a high sounding voice, "I didn't expect that you would destroy the reputation of Princess Qi with unrepentant efforts. We have said that Princess Qi has always been virtuous, virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable. Even if the royal family of Qi really wanted to take concubines, how could she play gongs and drums like a joke? "

Baihui said that, the onlookers were also worried. This is the prince's house of Qi. If you take a concubine, you can take a concubine. You can carry a small sedan chair to the mansion. Why do you have to beat gongs and drums to get everyone to know it? This is not an ordinary small family. It's a big fuss!

After thinking about it carefully, people's eyes on steward Li became strange. Nowadays, the swindlers are really brave. Even the names of "Pro Prince's Mansion" and "Pro Princess" are also borrowed.

Now that they knew it was a liar, they all felt a little boring, and they gradually dispersed.

As for the official Li, after being punished by the staff for twenty, he was sent to the Jingzhao Mansion by the bodyguards

At the same time, nangongyue's Qingpeng carriage has quietly entered Nangong house through the side door. When she got off the carriage at the second gate, she saw that Yan Niang in Lin's yard had been informed and was waiting there. She saluted and said, "third aunt, you can come back. Second lady, they are all in Rong'an hall now. "

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, while following Yan Niang to Rong'an hall, he asked, "what is going on?" Since Lin specially sent Yan Niang to wait for herself, she should want to give herself a wind in advance.

Yan Niang told the story in a low voice.

it turns out that after Nangong Yan went to the chrysanthemum feast in the Duke of Enguo last year, several wives in other places seemed to think of Nangong mansion and the second girl who came out of the commoner one after another to visit Nangong Mansion for their sons or young sons. Nangong Qin entrusted Nangong Yan's marriage to Lin and Liu Qingqing. After carefully selecting among several families, he finally selected the third son of Zhongyu historian. After getting the consent of Nangong Qin, he took Nangong Yan to Bailong temple to see him in person. The result was not bad. Both sides were satisfied. They felt that they were both ten, regardless of their family background and appearance Match up.

Speaking of this, Yan Niang sighed, "this look is about to change the Geng tie and make a marriage. Who knows that Princess Qi sent someone to come to the door early this morning!"

Princess Qi?! Nangong Yue willow eyebrow micro Cu, suddenly have a bad premonition. Nine times out of ten, it's not good to have a relationship with Princess Qi.

"What did Princess Qi send for?" she asked in a deep voice

"The princess of Qi sent a mother to say that she would take two girls as concubines for the prince of Qi." Even if Nangong Yan, the second girl, was born out of the common family, she was also the daughter of Nangong Qin, the patriarch of Nangong family. What's more, Nangong family never had a concubine. Even if the emperor wanted to take two girls as side concubines, Nangong Qin would not agree, let alone a son of Qi Yes.

After a pause, Yan Niang continued: "the second lady refused on the spot. However, it still reached the old lady's ears. I was so angry that I thought it was really damaging to the face of Nangong mansion. So I called the second girl to rebuke her, and asked whether the second girl and the prince of Qi were really giving each other in private. How could Princess Qi come to Nangong mansion to make such a request for no reason? "

Nangong Yue's lips pursed into a straight line, and a faint irony flashed in his eyes. Su always loves face most. Nangong Yue is not surprised that he will make such a response.

"What did the two sisters say?" Nangong Yue asked.

"The second girl said that on the day when she saw each other in Baima temple, she happened to meet the prince of Qi and suddenly fainted, so she kindly called the monks to carry him away She didn't say a word with the prince of Qi from the beginning to the end. But who knows that a few days later, her maid Wanqing went out to buy something for her, but she was caught by the people sent by the prince of Qi. She sent a letter to Wanqing and asked her to give it to the second girl. Of course, Wanqing was confiscated, but she did not dare to go out of the mansion for many days. It's been more than two months. The prince of Qi didn't move any more. He thought it was OK. Who knew that Princess Qi would send someone to come to her door all of a sudden... " While Yan Niang was talking, they had already arrived at the gate of Rong'an hall, and Su's servant girl met her.However, at this time, Nangong Yue is relieved. As long as the two sisters stand upright, the rest of them have their own family to make decisions with her!

The servant girl led Nangong Yue to the East. As soon as she went in, she saw that Nangong Yan was kneeling on the ground motionless. Her slender figure was straight and thin.

In addition to Nangong Yan, Lin, Huang, Gu and Liu Qingqing also arrived and sat on the armchairs on both sides.

"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Yan's younger sister..." It's ridiculous that they are all sons of the king of Qi!

Su's anger was still hard to calm, and her lips pursed into a straight line. She also knew that Nangong Yan might be innocent, but it was also true that Nangong Yan had damaged the reputation of Nangong house. If today's events are publicized, the Nangong mansion will certainly become the topic of leisure in the capital of the king!

Huang's face was gloomy, and he hated Nangong Yan to death. As the saying goes, "flies don't bite the seamless egg". If Nangong Yan was not careful enough, how could he have made such a delusion in the heart of the prince of Qi! If this thing is spread out, how can my daughter Lin get married!

Nangong Yue went to Nangong Yan and asked Su's family An'an first.

As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, Su's face was a little slow, indicating that she was exempt from ceremony.

Nangong Yue didn't sit down in a hurry. He leaned over and tried to help Nangong Yan by his side and said, "two elder sisters, get up quickly."

Nangong Yan hesitated to look at the Su family and did not get up.

Nangong Yue knew Su's thoughts and said to her: "grandmother, according to her granddaughter, it is clear that the prince Qi's house is deliberately refuting the face of our Nangong family. It has nothing to do with the second elder sister. If we blame the second sister, we will only let outsiders see jokes." She frowned and hesitated. "Grandmother, my granddaughter thinks it's better to leave this matter to uncle. It's ridiculous that Princess Qi did this thing, which always makes people feel that there is something hidden in it... "

Yes, she thought. If Princess Qi really wants to take a concubine for the prince of Qi, she will send someone to say it quietly. Is it possible that she did it on purpose?

At this time, Liu Qingqing also exhorted: "grandmother, granddaughter-in-law thinks that the third aunt is right. The third uncle will be back in three days Do you think that some people can't bear to see Nangong family's prosperity now? "

This sentence made Su's face loose. The third uncle made a great contribution this time, which was also a credit to their Nangong family. People would inevitably be envious. In this way, Yan's sister is really innocent!

Thinking of this, Su immediately decided that their Nangong house must not show weakness to outsiders! Let Princess Qi be proud!

Su Shi showed a loving smile and looked at Nangong Yan and said, "Yan sister, get up quickly. My grandmother will make the decision for you." She behaved like a good grandmother.

Nangong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up with the help of Nangong Yue.

With Su's kindness, he said to Nangong Yue: "Yue son, you should go back early. The third uncle is coming back. There must be a lot of things to do in these heavenly king's houses. In a few days, you will come back with the third uncle. "

"Thank you very much Nangong Yue answered with a smile. Lin did not give up some, personally sent Nangong Yue to the second gate.

After saying goodbye to Lin, Nangong Yue returned to the palace.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, she wrote a long letter to Zhou Daxing and ordered him to hand it over to his uncle Nangong Qin.

In that letter, Nangong Yue first apologized, and then explained in detail several disagreements between her and Princess Qi. He mentioned that the princess of Qi was so powerful that she sent people to take concubines. Maybe he wanted to revenge himself by humiliating Nangong house!

The letter was sent away, but Nangong Yue was still a little upset. I don't know if this incident will have any bad influence on Nangong Yan's marriage

"Princess Shizi, the big kitchen in the outer courtyard has drawn up a menu for three days. Would you like to have a look?"

At this time, Baihui's voice interrupted her thoughts. Nangongyue took over the menu and said, "let's go to my Chuang Tzu to pick up some fresh fruits and vegetables..."

"Yes

"What's more, the palace has been cleaned up and hung with new lanterns. On the day of the son of God's return, let all the people change into new spring clothes... "

Nangong Yue told me one by one
