319 Chapter 308-Side Concubine

In July, the capital of the capital is very hot.

Nangong Yue has become a little lazy, so she loves to nest beside the ice basin without leaving the house.

This summer is much hotter than in previous years. Most people used the ice basin as early as the end of May. In July, the hoarded ice was not enough. Wangdu's ice price was thousands of miles a day. Almost reached the peak in several years.

Xiao Yi knew that Nangong Yue feared the heat. In addition to the hoards in the ice cellar in the palace, he ordered people to go out to buy ice early. Seeing that the ice in the palace had just been used for a little while, a few more cars were delivered.

Nangong Yue's heart was warm, and he happily commanded: "Put half of it in the ice cellar, and send the other half to Nangong Mansion. Heng Brother is young, last time my mother said that he has been sleeping hot every night lately. , The house is buying ice everywhere, this time is just right."

Queer responded with a smile and hurried to do it.

Not long afterwards, the two women brought in the newly added ice basin, and after placing it, they lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and passed the Baihui who was coming in.

"Shizi Princess." Lily came in with a red post and blessed her body. "The gift list for the second prince has been prepared. You can see it is still appropriate."

Nangong Yue took it and glanced.

In ten days, the second prince will leave the palace to open the palace, and the time set by the ancestral palace for the third prince is in September.

Nangong Yue's lips were slightly hooked and said, "The prince opened the house, and it is not convenient for me and Shizi. The gift will be a little heavier... I remember there was a green glazed ceremonial incense burner in the storeroom, just add it to it. ."

"Yes." Lily responded, but did not retreat, but replied again, "Princess Shizi, only the Bai family sent a post, saying that a few days was the birthday of the white girl, and I wanted to invite Princess Shizi to go."

"Please me?" Nangong Yue said with a smile. "It's a loss that they can figure it out... Well, after the Jinxin meeting, the Bai family paid much attention to my cousin."

Nangong Yue does not have to think about it, knowing that such an invitation will definitely not be Bai Muxiao's own wish.I am afraid that the Bai family would like to make a face for Bai Muxiao through his cousin of the imperial concubine. After all, after the third prince opens the government, Bai Muxiao will be carried in.

"Go back for me."

Lily responded, and then said a little indignantly: "The White Girl is just entering the Prince's Mansion as a concubine, and wants you to make a face."

"This is not necessarily the case." Nangong Yue smiled and shook her finger. "Cousin Bai has done a good job this time. I'm afraid the Emperor will give her some face."

Lily said in surprise: "Sister Feizi you mean..."

"My cousin Bai is probably going to be the concubine in the position of side concubine this time." Nangong Yue said indifferently, she knew that for Bai Muxiao, there was not much difference between side concubine and concubine. Bai Muxiao always wanted the position of a wife.She paused and said with great interest, "Look at the three princesses who are not smart this time."

Lily's eyes widened, her curious eyes filled with curiosity.

Nangong Yue satisfies her curiosity altogether, saying: "If the three princesses are smarter, follow the trend and take the initiative to ask for the position of Bai Muxiao as a side concubine, and the three princesses might miss her one or two Score well, otherwise, even if she disagrees, it is impossible to change this result."

Lily said with a sense: "The slave-maid suddenly felt that the third princess was pitiful." Knowing that the husband's heart was on other women, he still had to pretend to be virtuous and ask him to come back for him, "That princess, you Do you think the Three Princesses really have to ask?"

Nangong Yue said casually: "Well, in her present situation, only the three princes can please her in order to win his heart. Even if she can't think of this, I'm afraid her mother will come to persuade her."

As Nangong Yue guessed, Cui Yanyan, the concubine of the third prince, sent away her mother's mother and sat in silence for a long time.

Grandma Lin looked at her distressedly and was about to step forward to comfort her. Cui Yanyan sighed and stood up and said, "I'm going to Fengluan Palace."

"Big girl..."

"Mammy, I remember all the words you persuaded me last time." Cui Yanyan's lips sneered, "If Ruo Muxiao's position is too low, I'm afraid that she will also dress up If they can’t fight, the two will always be evenly matched."

Cui Yanyan straightened his waist and said, "No matter what they fight, I am the upright, imperial concubine!"

"You are right, madam." Mammy Lin said comfortingly, "His Highness the Three Princes will one day think of your good."

Cui Yanyan lowered her eyes slightly and said, "...Let's go."

...

Therefore, as soon as Han Lingfu returned to Minghua Palace at night, he saw Cui Yanyan who was waiting for him in front of the study.

Han Lingfu was a little irritated because of the heat. When he saw Cui Yanyan, he was even more annoyed. Without looking at her, she went straight to the study.

Cui Yanyan hurried in, facing Han Lingfu's impatient glance, she forcibly restrained the sourness and anger in her heart and relaxed her voice. A sage said: "His Royal Highness, the concubine is thinking that we will leave the palace soon Yes, I went to see the Queen Mother today."

"See the queen?"

"Yeah." Cui Yanyan stepped forward and said with a smile, "The concubine thought, after the opening of the house, the white girl is about to enter the house..."

When he heard the words "White Girl", Han Lingfu looked awkward, his eyes pierced Cui Yanyan like a knife, and said sharply, "What do you want to do?"

"Your Highness, you misunderstood." Cui Yanyan quickly excused, "The concubine was thinking that the white girl entered the house as a concubine. It was really low, so she begged the queen to raise a place for the white girl."

Listening to her saying this, Han Lingfu was very happy and asked busyly: "What do you say?"

"My mother should do it." Cui Yanyan smiled like a flower, as if the queen should be a matter of importance to her. "After we open the house, the white girl will enter the house as a side concubine."

Han Lingfu was immediately ecstatic. Although he knew that Xiao'er had made great achievements this time, he would probably get rid of the fate of concubine.He had planned to find an opportunity to mention it with the Queen Mother, but Cui Yanyan did not expect that this time she was so informed and informed. It is naturally more appropriate for her three concubines to speak than herself.

Han Lingfu was satisfied and nodded, "You have worked hard this time. Your love is in the lead."

Cui Yanyan concealed the bitterness in her heart, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is so bad, you and I are husband and wife. The concubine also hopes to share your labor and worry. The white girl is talented, beautiful, and her confidante, The concubine also likes her very much."

"Just know it," Han Lingfu said, "You are your three princesses, and the palace will not treat you badly."

Cui Yanyan bowed his knees and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing that Han Lingfu was full of joy and good mood, she said carefully, "His Royal Highness, you have a meal? A few fresh fish were sent to the palace today. , The concubine did the kitchen, Your Highness..."

She just made a big deal for herself today. When Xiaoer enters the house when she is coming... Although Cui Yanyan does not dare to treat Xiaoer badly, after all, she is in the house, if she can take care of one or two more points is also good.

Thinking of this, Han Lingfu felt that Cui Yanyan's face could not be swept too much and said, "I'll take dinner with you."

Cui Yanyan was overjoyed. This was the first time that Han Lingfu had dinner with herself since beating her into the palace. She was about to order people to prepare meals quickly, and heard Han Lingfu say: "When did the empress queen say that she will die?"

Suddenly Cui Yanyan's heart was cold, his hands covered in his sleeves clenched tightly into a fist, and his nails were deeply stuck in the meat, but there was no trace of a smile on his face, saying: "The mother said, these two days Will make a decision..."

Han Lingfu was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to see Xiaoer's happy smile after hearing the good news.

With Han Lingfu's eager anticipation, the queen's empress's purpose was finally delivered, and Bai Muxiao was set up as the third concubine's side concubine.

The whole Baifu seems to have been infused with vitality. There is light on the upper and lower sides of the Fuchu, and there is wind on the walk. It feels that the prospect of their Baifu is bright.

That's the third concubine!

Side concubine is different from concubine, but it can be on the jade, even if it is a girl of the official family of the fourth or fifth grade, it is not so easy to want to enter the third prince's house as side concubine!

Since Bai Muxiao returned to Baifu from Nangongfu, he has always lived in the small courtyard in the northwest corner of Baifu.It has always been deserted and inaccessible, and those who can avoid it are avoided, but now they are very different. .The maid and wife who are good at drilling camp come to the yard from time to time to chat with Bai Muxiao's maid. When Bai Muxiao mixed with her face, she was wondering if she might be caught by the elder girl, and she could also be married Go to the House of the Three Princes.

Not only the layman, even the old lady Zhou's care for Bai Muxiao, every day is to ask for warmth, as if Bai Muxiao has always been her most beloved granddaughter, as if the discord and unhappiness in the past few years have never been happened before……

No, early in the morning, Bai Muxiao went to Zhou's house to please Zhou, and Zhou immediately smiled and attracted Bai Muxiao, "Sister Xiao, come here!"

Looking at Bai Muxiao's moon-white dress, Zhou again said: "Sister Xiao, you are about to marry into the third prince's palace, how can you still dress so neatly?" Zhou Shi held Bai Muxiao lovingly 'S right hand is very intimate.

Since Zhou is going to play Zu Zi Sun Xiao, Bai Muxiao also said cooperatingly: "Thank you grandma for caring. Xiao'er is naturally at home in her own home." She thought ironically, it was impossible to be like Yu Shi and Bai Muyan put on their brains when they saw something good? They thought they were rich, but they didn't know that they were just vulgar upstarts in the eyes of those who are really precious!

And, it's just a side concubine. What's the difference between side concubine and concubine? I never want it... but no one can understand it.

Zhou's smile was more kind, and he patted Bai Muxiao's hand and said: "Stupid child, the so-called'women are happy for themselves', you are dressed nicely, that is also the face of His Royal Highness." Said, she To the big girl beside her, said, "Green Pearl, hurry and get my jewelry box."

"Yes, old lady." Lvzhu was busy taking her orders, and after a while, she brought a large box of jewelry.

Zhou let Green Pearl open the jewelry box, and after looking at it, a bit of reluctance flashed in the turbid old eyes, but he quickly told himself in his heart that he could not bear the wolf.

As soon as she was cruel, she took out a phoenix sheep fat white jade bracelet in the box and put it on Bai Muxiao's left wrist. She said with a smile: "Look, this bracelet really matches our sister Xiao."

At first glance, this phoenix sheep fat white jade bracelet is the best sheep fat white jade. It is warm and delicate, and the carving is fine. It engraves a few vivid phoenixes, which are scattered and beautiful.This jade bracelet is obviously valuable.

Bai Muxiao also had to admit that this jade bracelet was indeed good-looking and blessed him: "The granddaughter thanked her grandmother."

Zhou still felt heartache, but smiled on the face: "Sister Xiao, this phoenix sheep fat white jade bracelet is a tribute, but it was rewarded in the former time palace. After so many years, this jade quality is getting more and more Yuerun. In the past, your second aunt and your second sister came to discuss it, but I didn’t give it. Sister Xiao, you are about to marry into the third prince’s palace, and there must be some decent jewelry to support the scene."

"Grandma Xie has a caring heart." Bai Muxiao thanked Zhou again, and thought a few thoughts, but he thought in disdain: Does Zhou really think that she is rare in these things?

Seeing that Bai Muxiao had gotten something good, she was honored and humiliated, and she behaved gracefully. Zhou couldn't help but sigh: It's no wonder that this granddaughter was so blessed that she got the eyes of His Royal Highness.It's like Bai Muyan coveting her good things every day, entangled for this for a while, entangled for that for a while, the eyelid is really shallow! It's no wonder that you will be fooled by money, deceived, and lost your virginity. With Bai's face...

Thinking, there was a flash of disgust in Zhou's eyes, but soon he and Bai Mu Xiaoxu came home casually.

What happened in Zhou's house soon spread to Yu's ear in Yushengyuan.

Unlike the joyous atmosphere outside the courtyard, the entire Yusheng courtyard was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

"What are you talking about?" Yu's eyes widened in anger, and he angered at a little maid, "The old lady gave the phoenix sheep fat white jade bracelet to the elder girl?"

The little girl said in a low voice: "Mother Rong, who is serving in the old lady's room, said so."

Yu's glance in the direction of the inner chamber. The fist was tightly clenched into a fist on the side of the body. He flicked back the little maid, then lifted the curtain and entered the inner chamber.

In the inner room, Bai Muyan, dressed in a white tunic, lay haggardly on the bed. The whole person was thin, her cheeks were even slightly recessed, and her eyes were indifferent.

Yu's teeth gritted fiercely, and there was anger in his heart.

At the beginning, Zhou Mingming promised to give the white jade bracelet with phoenix and sheep fat to Bai Muyan for dowry, but now he turns upside down.

Yu took a deep breath, walked quickly to Bai Muyan's couch and sat down, looked at her with distress, and asked softly, "Sister Yan, what do you think?"

Yu's heartache was terrible. Her daughter, once exuberant, was as charming as a blooming flower, but now she withered ahead of time because of that little bitch, and now she looks like this man is neither ghost nor ghost.

These days, whenever he thinks about this, Yu's tossing and turning, never sleeping at night.

Bai Muyan on the bed looked at the top of the mantle tentacles as if unheard of.

Yu was very distressed. Although she blamed her daughter for not being sensible, she was easily deceived, but that was her own daughter after all.Sister Yan is lying here as dead as life, but Bai Muxiao, who has harmed her, is very beautiful, and she has become the concubine of the third prince.The world is too unfair!

Yu's heart was as painful as crying blood.She stroked Bai Muyan's cold cheek and was about to open again. The curtain was opened, and a chunky mother walked quickly into the inner room, but it was Yu Ma's confidante Guo Ma's mother.

She saluted Yu's respectfully, and said meaningfully: "Second lady,'person' has been found."

A corner of the mouth of Yu's mouth, a flash of cruelty flashed in his eyes, like a wolf like a viper.

She patted Bai Muyan's hand lightly, and her expression became motherly gentle again, whispering: "Sister Yan, the mother will definitely avenge you!" She must fall into Bai Muxiao's little bitch Eighteen layers of hell, never supernatural!

"Mother!" Bai Muyan, who was originally a puppet, came to life at once, and she burst into intense hatred in her eyes.

Even if Bai Muyan was so stupid that she believed that Pan Lang would marry her, the fool would be wiped away in a day of waiting.Instead, he hated Bai Muxiao, who wanted to eat his flesh and lick his blood.

"Mother, I'm going to let her die better than life!" Bai Muyan gripped Yu's sleeve violently, as if a ghost from hell.

Yu's teeth gritted and said: "Sister Yan, you can rest assured. Your suffering, the mother must let her come back one by one! She wants to marry into the Three Princes' House innocently? Huh, dream!"

She soothed Bai Muyan softly, and then took Grandma Guo to leave Yushengyuan...

As the days passed, the summer heat did not subside, but instead became more intense.

Fortunately, the big households added more ice basins, but those civilians who were busy with their livelihoods could not rest for a long time. For a time, there were many more people in Wangdu who suffered heat stroke due to the heat.

Nangong Yue and her grandfather Lin Jingchen discussed the preparation of some herbal teas and put them in Bai Cao Lu in Lin Ziran's medical hall for free drinking.

The effect of this medicinal tea is excellent. From word to word, there are a lot of people who come to Baicaolu every day to ask for medicinal tea.

Lin Ziran ordered people to find a big pot. A pot of herbal tea was placed in front of Baicaolu and cooked. Anyone who came and went could use it.

In this scorching heat, the second prince opened the house. Like the eldest prince, the emperor only rewarded something ordinary, but no lord.The imperial court wondered whether they would wait until the day of the establishment of the crown prince.

Sacred and unpredictable.

Not only was the princes not knighting, but also peace talks with Baiyue.

Due to Xiao Yi's undisputed strong attitude, the peace talks were shelved unconsciously, and even Xiao Yi was impeached several times in the early dynasty for the name of poor management, but the emperor did not care, even even once. After impeachment, you will appreciate some fruit snacks to the King's Mansion in Zhennan.After two visits, the imperial envoy, who had no eyesight, also saw the emperor's intention.

Xiao Yi's peace talks are in harmony with the Holy Spirit!

Dayu is not in a hurry, but Baiyue is more anxious, but in the face of Xiao Yi's unwilling attitude.

Soon it was the end of July, and the sweltering heat was still there. In the palace of Zhennan, Nangong Yue lay lazily on the beauty couch, and Xiao Yi fanned herself diligently, with a pot of chilled fruit on hand.

The two laughed casually and unconsciously mentioned Jin Xinhui, who had just passed by.

Fu Yunyan showed his style at the Jinxin meeting, but Yongyang was a little dissatisfied, especially after hearing that she was almost attacked by her clothes, she even felt that she was not good at learning.In the words of Yong Yang, if you change yourself, you will have to use your own way to give back to your own body, and let the sneak attacker break his hands and feet, which will allow him to continue to jump.

Therefore, Yongyang simply took the overjoyed Fu Yunyan to the military camp outside the city and said that he wanted to have a good experience.

Recalling that Fu Yunyan learned from his own words in Yongyang's tone, Nangong Yue was overwhelmed. By the way, she also learned from Xiao Yi.

As long as Xiao Yi sees her happy, she naturally rejoices. The two hesitated for a while. Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something and said: "Smelly girl, when I talked about your cousin last time, I let people check Now..."

Nangong Yue was stunned first, and then remembered that he should have said the word Bai Muxiao made at the Jinxin meeting, and asked: "But there will be results."

"I couldn't find someone who ever wrote it." Xiao Yi finished, seeing Nangong Yue disappointed, he added, "However, I went to ask Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai said that he really did not see in any book. After the poetry that your cousin had done, he still believes in his own judgment. Xiaobai said that it is not difficult to learn if she really knows whether she really has the truth, just find a chance to try one or two, there must be result."

"Exploration?" Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "So how can you try?"

"Xiao Bai said..."

"Shiziye, Shizifei."

The voice of Lily outside the door interrupted the words of the two, and then he heard the report. "A grandfather Liu came in the palace. Please ask the princess to go to the palace immediately and say yes... The queen mother seems to be bad."

Nangong Yue was shocked and exchanged glances with Xiao Yi. When he saw him, he nodded and said, "Lily, prepare the medicine box for me. I will clean up and leave."

The lily outside the door hurriedly responded, and Xiao Yi said, "Don't worry, smelly girl, I will go into the palace with you."

Nangong Yue held his hand and nodded.

The two soon entered the palace with Grandpa Liu, Nangong Yue went to Changle Palace, and Xiao Yi couldn't enter the harem and could only wait for her outside.

Just before the palace gate of Changle Palace, a maid of the great palace greeted her anxiously and said, "Concubine Shizi, you can come here. Come with the slave-servant."

Hurrying into the main hall of Changle Palace, the queen mother's bedroom behind the main hall, the emperor was guarding the outside, pacing back and forth anxiously. "Yue girl, go in and see."

Nangong Yue finished the ceremony and quickly stepped into the inner room.

There were several pots of ice in the inner room, exuding a burst of coolness, which did not seem to be in the scorching heat.

The arrival of Nangong Yue attracted the attention of the Taiji doctors. The Taiji Zheng Wutai doctor, who was more familiar with Nangong Yue, hurried forward and said anxiously, "Concubine Shizi, do you need to diagnose the pulse of the queen mother first?"

Nangong Yue nodded and approached the Queen Mother's couch.I saw the old lady who was still healthy and lying there with her eyes closed. Her face was pale and there was no blood, her forehead was covered with sweat. Wan Xin was wiping her carefully.

Wan Xin stepped back and asked Nangong Yue to check the pulse for the queen mother.

After a while, Nangong Yue let go of her finger and said to Wu Taiyi: "The queen mother should be hot."

"Several of us are diagnosed in the same way." Wu Taiyi said sadly. "Due to the heat, he prescribed a prescription. But the queen mother did not see sober, but the pulse was weaker." So, Wu Taiyi was also worried. Is the diagnosis wrong?

"It should be correct." Nangong Yue thought, "I still have trouble for Wu Taiyi to show me the prescription."

Someone immediately handed over the prescription. Nangong Yue looked closely and was about to speak. A figure broke in from the outside and shouted anxiously in his mouth: "Mother."

"His Royal Highness Princess."

The people in the inner room saluted one after another, and the visitor was the Princess Yuncheng.

"Yue girl." Yuncheng rushed over when she saw Nangong Yue, and said, holding her hand, "how is the mother?" said while looking at the queen mother lying on the couch, her tears were uncontrollable. Flowed down.

Nangong Yue comfortably took her hand and said, "Yue'er is discussing the condition of the Empress Dowager with the doctor. Please also ask your highness to be safe."

"Cloud City. Don't disturb Yueyatou and Taiji, let me go outside and wait." The emperor also came in with Yuncheng, so that she could only pull her out.

Nangong Yue frowned slightly and said, "It would not be wrong for the Queen Mother to be a hot summer. It's just that in my opinion, you are too heavy to prescribe Wu Taiyi."
