"Yue'er, if I had known that the three princes treated you cousin very unusually, I almost thought he was not helping her but harming her." Yuan Yuyi said with a sigh.
Nangong Yue drank the sweet-scented osmanthus tea again: "It's still too late, probably that's the case." After a pause, she turned sharply and said with a smile, "Sister Xi, the time passes really fast, and more than a month is October 2. It's ten."
She said that Jiang Yixi's pretty face instantly turned red.
Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan glanced at each other, and they both thought of it.
On October 20, Jiang Yixi is about to leave the cabinet!
Fu Yunyan said enthusiastically: "Sister Xi, if there is anything I need to help, don't be polite to me!"
"There is a queen's mother who can help you, where can I get your turn!" Yuan Yuyi pushed Fu Yunyan with her elbow, "Sister Xi, just wait for the bride."
Jiang Yixi blushed like he was about to bleed, saying with a warning: "Sister Yi, there will always be your turn!"
Yuan Yuyi's face was a little calm, and she coughed casually, and then said meaningfully: "Yeah, there were'people' who went to Ronghua Pavilion yesterday to find my mother."
Fu Yunyan immediately realized the taste: "Who?" Thinking that Yuan Yuyi would never mention this topic for no reason, Fu Yunyan suddenly flashed in his head and intuitively blurted out, "Is it Princess Qi?"
I didn't expect to be guessed so easily.The original Yuyi suddenly felt a little disappointed, but she nodded and said: "It's the third uncle. She inexplicably said a lot of proverbial proverbs... The result was driven away by my mother."
Nangong Yue, Jiang Yixi and Fu Yunyan looked at each other, first Fu Yunyan, then Yuan Yuyi, Princess Qi is planning to fertilize the water and not let the relatives offend each other.
Yuan Yuyi glanced at Jiang Yixi and said again: "The third aunt is probably looking for a noble daughter-in-law to press her sister."
Han Huaijun's eldest son's big marriage is imminent, and he is still married to the eldest daughter of the Emperor's government, the queen's daughter's sister-in-law, and the marriage of King Qi's son has not yet been settled. It is no wonder that Princess Qi is anxious.
With Princess Qi's temperament, it is inevitable to choose a wife who can overwhelm Jiang Yixi, but unfortunately there are not many candidates.
In addition, what kind of virtue is Qi Shishi in Wang Du's honors? Who doesn't know, this family has a good family and can't look down on it, and the family is bad, and Princess Qi doesn't look down on it.
"My uncle's eyes are high, but his hands are low." Fu Yunyan's eyebrows twitched. "So, is it true that she has quarreled with Mrs. Wei Guogong these days?" She thought it was an erroneous rumor.
Yuan Yuyi nodded, "Listening to my mother, it was originally the third uncle who took the second daughter-in-law of Wei Guogong, but the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong had not yet married. The eldest daughter said pro, and the two quarreled as soon as they came and went. My grandfather was so angry that she almost fainted..."
Now that Wei Guogong is the mother-in-law's nephew, it's not surprising that Princess Qi will pick Wei Guogong's mansion.It's just that Wei Guogong's eldest girl has a bad life.When she was playing with her cousin at the age of five or six, the emperor had a good joke at the time. As for the golden boys and girls, the two also considered getting married when the children grew up, but the cousin died unexpectedly at the age of nine.
The unlucky thing is yet to come. When Ms. Wei was twelve years old, Mrs. Wei Guogong planned to help her look. Who knows that this was not settled yet, and the other night he fell into the water and died...I don’t know Who was so persuasive that, gradually, Miss Wei became known as the husband and wife of Lian Ke.
Now that she is 16 years old, she hasn't said that she is still in the house.
The personal affairs of Miss Wei were originally the pain in the heart of Mrs. Wei Guogong, but Princess Qi had to step on that pain.
Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan and Jiang Yixi were all dumbfounded. This was just to explore the tone, and the two governments became enemies. This is also regarded as a person who has no ancients and no future.
Princess Qi's ability to offend people is really impressive.
Thinking so, the girls looked at Jiang Yixi with sympathy...
At this moment, Lily came over and told him, "Concubine Shizi and the wine altar have all moved out."
"Can you make wine?" Fu Yunyan could not wait to stand up.
The four girls moved to the backyard.
Osmanthus sugar has been fermented in the wine jar for several days, and brewing osmanthus wine is still the last step. Just open the wine jar and put rice wine or sorghum wine in it.
After all, these sweet-scented osmanthus wine are brewed for the girls, so the basic selection of Nangong Yue is rice wine.
The process of making wine is extremely simple. The only thing to be careful of is the final sealing of the altar. If it is not sealed and leaks, the good wine will be destroyed.
Seeing the wine jars resealed one by one, they were moved into the wine cellar by the maids. Fu Yunyan's saliva could not help but secretly asked, "When will this osmanthus wine be drunk?"
Jiang Yixi said with a smile: "At least one year. Yue'er, am I right?"
At a glance, Nangong Yue nodded, and Fu Yunyan's shoulder collapsed at once, sighing and lamenting: "No? It will take so long a year."
Nangong Yue lost her smile and said: "Have you heard an old saying?'Old wine is old'. This year is already fast. If you keep it in the cellar for five years and drink it again, it will be a good wine."
"Ayue," Fu Yunyan looked at Nangongyue favorably, "My request is not high, one year is enough!"
Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi laughed at her placidly as she watched her puppy, and the small courtyard was full of silver bell-like laughter from the girls, as if even the faint autumn meaning had been dispersed...
"Concubine Shizi." During the talk, Lily blessed her body and whispered to Nangong Yue's ear, "Fang Cai Zhuzi came to say that Shiziye is here with his son, and he will come back later so that you don't wait for him to have dinner Now."
Nangong Yue nodded and waved her back.
Because of the emperor's decree, Xiao Yi and Mandarin Bai will not be noticeable even if they come closer.
Both of them have to spend a lot of time on whether it is for the game or South Xinjiang. Nangong Yue pondered for a while to let Lily bring some sweet-scented osmanthus cake past.
Xiao Yi didn't know that he would have osmanthus cake soon. At the moment, he was in the palace where Mandarin Bai lived, watching a secret letter just sent.
Compared with the intelligence network of the official Bai Bai, Xiao Yi's collection in previous years can be regarded as quite rudimentary, so Xiao Yi simply handed them over to the official Bai Bai.
When Xiao Yi first made this decision, the official language could not help but be amazed, but it was quickly accepted.
Xiao Yi casually put down the secret letter and said, "So, is the Queen Mother's poison from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
The Empress Dowager poisoning, which involves the government, naturally cannot be ignored by Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai. He also ordered people to investigate early. This is just news.
The official Bai said calmly: "Touyou is the tribute of Jiangnan's imperial merchant Chen's family, which already contains the composition of the water hyacinth. It was generally found in some shops in Jiangnan and was found in the Queen Mother. Also That is to say, the problem should be the perfume. I found some of the same perfumes, and they didn't have longevity flowers. After the tribute, the perfume passed only the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only the queen mother in the palace. The queen and the two concubines got each They all have long-lived flowers in their perfumes, so there is the greatest possibility of something going wrong in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
His finger gently tapped on the book case and continued: "I ordered people to check all the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found a very interesting thing. When Dayu was not yet established, Li Peng was the emperor's personal wife. There was a fiance who had a sweetheart. Later, Li Li opened her face and became a house, and then the emperor was established as the prince. Li Bin was born as the prince to bear the emblem because of the birth of the eldest son. He got rid of his slavery. Now Zhang Yan, the chief of the Department of General Storage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is Li's former fiance."
Li Bin is now the mother of the eldest son of the emperor.
"The Chen family's first oil was not included in the tribute in previous years. It was contributed by Zhang Yan. The perfume entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs earlier, and was only offered to the palace at the beginning of the year." Taking a sip of tea, he said, "Although there is no complete evidence, according to my judgment, this matter should be done by Li Peng and the eldest prince."
Xiao Yi nodded, he didn't care who did it, anyway, it was all the sons of the emperor, whichever is the same.For them, more importantly...
"What next?"
According to the original plan between him and Guan Yubai, he would use this matter to add some variables to the successor to win more time for himself.But now...The third prince Han Lingfu has been rejected. If the great prince regenerates the incident, the variables will obviously be much less.
"Let's press this matter down now." Guan Yubai thought about it for a long time, and said, "It's good for both of you and me to know, this handle can be uncovered anytime, anywhere. It’s a good time. I ordered some actions from Jiangnan, Jin Yiwei’s investigation will only come to an impasse... Let this matter leave a thorn in the emperor’s heart for the time being.”
Xiao Yi did not hesitate to agree with the official judgment of Bai Bai.
In the overall picture, the official language Bai often looks farther than him.
For Xiao Yi's unbelievable trust, the official Bai Bai was surprised from the beginning, and now it is quite common.He put down the tea bowl in his hand, and then Feng Feng asked, "Ai, how about South Xinjiang in recent days?"
"General Tian has blocked my father for me. For the time being, the tens of thousands of people in my hands are protected." Speaking of southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi frowned slightly, training soldiers and people's livelihood should be silver, every time I had to rely on a stink It was really hard for her to move together, "As for the Xuanjia Army, she is still practicing. Yao Lianghang and Mo Xiuyu have no experience. I don't expect to be formed within a year or two. Anyway, let them exercise. Right. By the way, the design drawings of Xuanjia that you handed over to me last time were also posted..."
Mandarin Bai Weiwei said: "The best place to exercise an army is never on the training ground, but in actual combat..."
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, "Practice for the time being, there is always a chance for actual combat."
The official language Bai smiled suddenly and continued: "In addition to actual combat, there are more important things for an army."
"Oh?" Xiao Yijian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"
"faith."
Both Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai have high expectations for this Xuanjia Army. Once this army is formed, it means that Xiao Yi has a real soldier in his hands.
This elite soldier will obey him completely from top to bottom, and is no longer the king of Zhennan.
Although Yao Lianghang and Mo Xiuyu are still young and have little experience, it is because of their youth that they have endless energy and fighting spirit.
Since Xiao Yi handed over the formation of the Xuanjia Army to the two of them, the two have grown at a non-fast speed, which can be described as a thousand days.
From dawn to dusk, Mo Xiuyu will, as always, watch soldiers drill on a large drill field.
The shouts came one after another.
In the center of the field, thousands of soldiers were lined up in a huge phalanx. With the orders, the soldiers punched and kicked from time to time...a shout that shook the world, every sound seemed to make this piece The world was shocked.
Just looking at it like this makes people feel bloody.
Mo Xiuyu personally formed this team, and witnessed how it became stronger and stronger. He became well-trained and sharp. However, in just over half a year, it is almost a new look.
At this time, Yao Lianghang appeared at the entrance of the venue, beckoned to Mo Xiuyu, Mo Xiuyu nodded slightly, and then shouted in a rough voice.
The next moment, the soldiers stopped in unison, standing still.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War? Military Dispute" has a cloud: Therefore, its disease is like the wind, its Xu is like the fire, the invasion is like the fire, it is like the mountain, it is hard to know like Yin, and it is like Thunderstorm.
Seeing the soldiers sweating one by one, but full of energy, standing on the spot, not even shaking, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Mo Xiuyu's eyes. Lord's request.
Following that, he ordered the soldiers to run around the field for another thirty laps, and then each returned to the camp to rest.
"Yes, Mo Xiaowei!" The soldiers responded in unison, shouting loudly, and then they ran around the drill field neatly. They all had the same speed, the gap was the same, and it was like a ruler. It seems to come out.
Mo Xiuyu left the training site with Yao Lianghang and went to Tian He's camp. When Tian He saw the two of them, he smiled and beckoned to the two of them to sit down with a few sheets of stationery in his hands.
Mo Xiuyu's gaze paused on the letter paper, and he immediately thought of something, and he said with a happy face: "General Tian, but Lord Shizi has written again?"
"Good." Tian He caressed his long beard, and then handed over one of the stationery to Mo Xiuyu.
Mo Xiuyu took a closer look, and found that it was a design drawing of an armor.The soldier on the paper was wearing black armor, black robe, and black cape.The breastplate was decorated with a hot sun badge, and the waist was equipped with a sword. I can feel a solemn killing spirit.
After careful observation, he found that the black armor was improved and lighter, but it protected the key point...
Mo Xiuyu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, looked up at Tian He, "General Tian, Shizi is planning..."
Tian Heying first said: "Yes, Shizi intends to let the three thousand Xuanjia troops be equipped with this uniform armor and clothing."
Mo Xiuyu and Yao Lianghang glanced at each other with blood in their eyes.Once the Xuanjia Army is equipped with this special armor, it is unique in southern Xinjiang.As long as the armor is seen, the people will know that it is Shiziye's own soldier Xuanjia Army.Each Xuanjia soldier has his own Proud of status... Even the soldiers of southern Xinjiang will be proud of being able to join the Xuanjia Army.
Yao Lianghang thought of something, and hesitantly said: "General Tian, but this armor is made of stainless steel, from head protection to feet, a set of armor must be expensive, right?" I am afraid that this one cannot be a hundred or two, three thousand Man, that is 300,000 two silver snowflakes.
Yao Lianghang felt hurt when he thought about it.
Tian Hedao: "Shiziye said that the old prince left him two ore veins, and one of them is iron ore... Shiziye sent another one hundred thousand two silver this time." At least the initial cost should be enough.
Mo Xiuyu and Yao Lianghang were also very happy. Once there was iron ore, it saved a lot of money at once.But there is a lot of work to be done next...
Shiziye is really too hard. The industry has been occupied by the princess. Not to mention, now we have to work hard to raise money for them.If they don't train this Xuanjia army well, they are so sorry for the prince.
Thinking of this, the three people in the camp were more energetic, and their eyes were full of high fighting spirit.
As the official Bai said, the growth of soldiers requires not only actual combat, but also faith!
They are all looking forward to the return of the prince of the world at that moment, when they will have to use a legendary army as a welcome gift.
The night is getting deeper...
In the King's Mansion of Zhennan in Luoyue City, there was no one sleepy.
Xiao Fei was in his room, his hands spread out a paper imperial edict, his face condensing.
Take the princess's death... not to be kind to her mother, to treat her stepson Xiao Yi harshly, but not to be honored by the princess...
This sentence is like a sharp arrow piercing Xiao Fei's heart. A grandmother opposite her was a little nervous and urged in a small voice: "Madonna, the slave-servant had to return the decree quickly... "If it is discovered by the prince, it is hard to say whether he can save his life.
Xiao Fei looked at the imperial edict in his hands, and his hands unconsciously exerted force.
It turns out so!
No wonder the father’s attitude has become so strange recently. Mingming agreed to her to visit the concubine in Mingqing Temple before, but this decree came.After the father returned to the palace, he immediately changed his mouth and said that it was the concubine who was in the Ming Dynasty. Qingsi prayed quietly and did not want anyone to disturb.
Xiao Fei felt that there was something wrong with it, and in the end he could only blame the emperor's latest decree.
Only this time, the father emperor concealed the content of the decree strictly, and no one said anything.
Therefore, Xiao Fei simply took advantage of the Zhennan King to go out today and quietly ordered people to take out this volume of imperial edict, but at first glance it was a big jump.Rao had originally made all kinds of guesses, but she never thought that this would be written in the Decree.
Xiao Fei took a deep breath and returned the scroll of the imperial decree in his hand to the grandmother. The grandmother was relieved, fearing that she would regret it and quickly retired.
Xiao Fei stood in the same place for a long time without saying a word of humiliation in his always cold eyes.She always thinks that people are upright, how could there be such a concubine! If you let outsiders know that the concubine's death was taken, how would you think of yourself?
No! This matter must not be known to outsiders!
Xiao Fei bit his lower lip slightly, and finally understood why the King of Zhennan avoided it, and the King's Mansion in Zhennan could not be the laughing stock of Southern Xinjiang!
At this moment, only Xiao Fei and her close girl, Tao Yao, were left in the house. Tao Yao looked at Xiao Fei with some concern, "Girl..." Are you okay?
Xiao Fei took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "I'm going to the Ming and Qing Temple quietly. You can arrange it."
Thinking of the fact that the royal prince recently made it impossible for anyone in the royal palace to talk about the princess and the prince, Tao Yao hesitated for a moment, but she knew the nature of her girl best. Once Xiao Fei decided that even the royal princess could not control it.
Tao Yao responded and went out to arrange.
The Ming and Qing Temple is three hours away from Luoyue City.If you want to go back and forth on the same day, Xiao Fei had to hurried out the door the next day before dawn. At that time, even the city gate was not opened, but by virtue of Zhennan Wangfu's waist card, she easily left the city.
The carriage drove all the way and finally arrived at the Ming and Qing Temple at noon.
"Sister Fei!" Xiao Fang heard Xiao Fei coming and smiled, and after a little dressing, he greeted him at the door of the house. "How did you come here? Is it your father..." Concubine?
Xiao Fei wore a lake green tunic, which made her skin beat the snow, and her temperament was cold.
After saluting Xiao Fang, she honestly replied: "My father didn't know that I was here. I sneaked out to see you."
A little disappointment flashed in Xiao Fang's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Sister Fei, you are still the most filial to the concubine." She took out a square and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Fang did not say okay. When talking about the word "mother concubine", Xiao Fei's eyes dimmed slightly, and followed Dayi's awe-inspiring persuasion: "Mother... Dear, you are not dead now. Zhong should also pay attention to some, so as not to be caught in the wrong place."
Xiao Fang's face was black and he stalked his chest in one breath.There is only her and her daughter here, who will talk the conversation between them everywhere! This Sister Fei's speech is still so "just", how could he raise such a daughter!
Xiao Fei didn't pay attention to Xiao Fang's face, and continued: "Mother, I came to want to ask you this time, and now the whole of South Xinjiang is rumoring that you have occupied your brother's industry..." Xiao Fei put the latest The gossip said it in detail, and said what he saw in the decree, and finally asked, "Mother, are these things true?"
Xiao Fang's face is like water, she knows that these things have already been spread, but she heard that the Zhennan king had concealed her death and she was still happy, thinking that maybe the Zhennan king was not a little sentimental to her. ...
Xiao Fang's mind moved quickly.Originally, she was still worried that she could not see the King of Zhennan, and there were no means to use all means. Now it is really heaven to help her. Sister Fei is coming. Maybe she can let Sister Fei do something for her...
Xiao Fang ignored his thoughts and lightly repeated the rhetoric used to deal with the King of Zhennan to Xiao Fei again, trying to minimize the crime on her, "Sister Fei, mother... On behalf of the custody of your grandfather's property, but I really did not want to seize and embezzle your brother's money...... They blame those who swindle, slaves bully!"
Xiao Fei frowned slightly, remembering Xiao Fang's spoiling of Xiao Yi in the past, and nodded with emotion: "So, this matter can't really blame his mother."
"Of course." Xiao Fang felt relieved, and he kept busy.
Xiao Fei sighed and said, "Mother, I have persuaded you a few times. The eldest brother is stubborn by nature. He doesn't know any good or bad, but you don't listen to my advice. You have to waste a mother's heart on him. Now you also see Arrived, this is obviously only a small matter. The elder brother can clearly write to the father and mother in private. You explain the matter clearly, but you have to make trouble to the empress and the queen, and you are killed."
Xiao Fei's sentence has the meaning of "I knew why it was so early" and was so angry that the small Fang's forehead was straightened. If Xiao Fei was her daughter, if she still wanted this daughter, she would almost turn her face. .
After Xiao Fang swallowed Xiao Fei's words with patience, he took Xiao Fei's hand and said: "Sister Fei, now the mother and mother have nothing and can only rely on you. You must help your mother! "
Xiao Fei sighed, "Mother, what can I do, you say it."
Xiao Fang was delighted, and took her daughter to the inner room, walked to the dressing table, opened her jewelry box and took out a white jade hairpin from it.
I saw that the white jade hairpin was the best Hetian jade. The hairpin was shaped like a dragonfly head, and the eyes and mouth were exquisitely cut.
Xiao Fang sent this hairpin to Xiao Fei's hands and slowly said: "It's very simple, as long as you wear this hairpin on your head and go to your father and king to show your face." Xiaofang A corner of Shi's mouth, based on her knowledge of the King of Zhennan, once he saw this hairpin, he would definitely arouse old feelings...
After all, they knew each other in that situation...
Who wanted Xiao Fei to frown, and decisively pushed the hosta back, looking at Xiao Fang with a weird look, and slowly said: "Mother, I am only twelve years old."
Xiao Fang knows her daughter's temperament, and patiently said: "Sister Fei, mother... I just want you to go to your father's head." At most it's nothing but Yi Xiang's kung fu.
Xiao Fei was indifferent, and Yi Zhengzheng said: "Mother, this rule is the rule, the rule is more than everything, and the rule is not a circle. I am only twelve years old, and I can’t wear a hairpin! Of course, if I do, father Don't you think I'm a person who doesn't understand the rules?" Speaking later, Xiao Fei looked at Xiao Fang's eyes with a trace of disappointment.Mother is so unruly, it is no wonder that she will be reduced to today's situation, but she is her own mother...
Little Fang's throat almost spit out blood.
What the hell did she do! The son and daughter are so uneasy one by one, obviously they have planned everything, as long as they cooperate with each other, everything will come naturally, but they will refuse to cooperate!
Not all that she did was for them, as the saying goes: "Mother is more expensive with sons, sons are more expensive with mothers". Only when they are good are they good for children.
Xiao Fang took a deep breath and said to Xiao Fei: "Sister Fei, you have grown so old, did your mother ever ask you? Doesn't my mother only ask you this time?"
If Xiao Fei moved, he quickly said decisively: "Mother, people should know what to do, something to do, and forgive daughters can't promise you."
I begged her in such a low voice, she even... Xiao Fang finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, pointing at Xiao Fei and cursing: "You leave me! I don't have your daughter!"
"Mother, you are in a hurry now. When you calm down, you will know that I am right. Today I will say goodbye." Xiao Feifu was really gone after he was blessed.
As soon as she came out of the room, she heard a banging sound coming from behind, apparently what little Fang was hitting something in a vent.
Xiao Fei shook his head helplessly and said: Mother's temper is still not stable enough.
She pondered for a moment, and she had an idea in her heart.Now that the decree has come down, there is only one way to get the mother out of sin and to return her life.
She must let her brother forgive her mother!
Xiao Fei flashed a decisive decision in his cold eyes.
Tao Yao knows her own girl best. Seeing this, she can't help but have a bad hunch, hesitating and saying, "Auntie, girl..." Don't do stupid things.
Xiao Fei said decisively: "Let's go to the capital."
Tao Yao and another close-up girl, Bai Zhou, froze instantly.
Tao Yao asked cautiously: "Girl, do you want to say something to the prince?"
"No," Xiao Fei waved and said, "We will go immediately."
but……
Tao Yao and Bai Zhou were dumbfounded. They didn't bring silver this time!
The girls in their family have never bothered about the yellow and white things, only think that the silver is too tacky, but how can the silver go to the king without a silver?
