Chapter 1016 323 Start

"Yue'er, if I hadn't known that the third prince treated your cousin very differently, I would have thought that he was not helping her, but harming her." Yuan Yuyi said with a sigh.

Nangong Yue took another sip of sweet-scented osmanthus tea: "It's too late, that's probably the case." After a pause, she changed the conversation and said with a smile, "Sister Xi, time flies by so fast, and it will be October 2 in just over a month. It's ten."

When she said this, Jiang Yixi's pretty face instantly turned red.

Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan looked at each other and thought about it.

On October 20th, Jiang Yixi will be leaving the cabinet!

Fu Yunyan said enthusiastically, "Sister Xi, if you need my help, don't be polite to me!"

"With the help of the Empress, where can I get you!" Yuan Yuyi pushed Fu Yunyan with her elbow, "Sister Xi, just wait and wait to be the bride."

Jiang Yixi blushed as if he was about to drip blood, and said with a warning: "Sister Yi, it will always be your turn!"

Yuan Yuyi showed a trace of embarrassment, coughed dryly as if nothing had happened, and then said meaningfully: "Yes, yesterday someone went to Ronghua Pavilion to find my mother."

Fu Yunyan immediately realized the taste: "Who?" Thinking that Yuan Yuyi would never bring up this topic for no reason, Fu Yunyan's mind suddenly flashed, and she blurted out intuitively, "Could it be Princess Qi?"

I didn't expect it to be so easy to guess. Yuan Yuyi suddenly lost her interest, but she still nodded and said, "It's the third aunt. She said a bunch of nonsense words inexplicably... but was driven away by my mother."

Nangong Yue, Jiang Yixi, and Fu Yunyan looked at each other, first Fu Yunyan, then Yuan Yuyi. Is Princess Qi's plan to keep the fat and water from flowing to outsiders, and to offend all the relatives before they are willing?

Yuan Yuyi glanced at Jiang Yixi, and said again: "The third aunt is probably looking for a noble daughter-in-law to be with Sister Yaxi."

Han Huaijun, the eldest son of the concubine, is about to get married. He is still married to the eldest daughter of the Duke of Enguo and the niece of the queen. The marriage of Prince Qi's son has not yet been settled, so it is no wonder that Princess Qi is anxious.

With Princess Qi's temperament, she must want to choose a daughter-in-law for Prince Qi's son who can beat Jiang Yixi, but unfortunately there are not many candidates.

Furthermore, no one among the nobles in the capital does not know what kind of virtue the Prince of Qi is. The good family despise the prince, and the poor family, and Princess Qi does not despise.

"Cousin's aunt has a good eye and a low hand." Fu Yunyan's brows twitched, "So, is it true that she and Mrs. Wei Guogong quarreled these days?" She thought it was a false story.

Yuan Yuyi nodded, "According to my mother, it was originally the third aunt who fell in love with the second daughter of Wei Guogong's family, but the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong's family hadn't married yet. At that time, Mrs. Wei Guogong thought that the third aunt was here. The eldest daughter said that they were kissing, but as a result, the two of them started to quarrel. The third aunt scolded Wei Guogong's wife that she even wanted to marry the two husbands, and she still wanted to marry them in the Qi Wangfu. She had no self-knowledge! Mrs. Guo was so angry that she almost fainted..."

The current Wei Guogong is the nephew of the queen mother's family. It is not surprising that Princess Qi would choose Wei Guogong's mansion, but the eldest girl of Wei Guogong's mansion is not good. For the golden boy and girl, the two families also considered getting married when the child grew up, but unfortunately the cousin died unexpectedly at the age of nine.

The unfortunate thing is still to come. When Wei Dawei was twelve years old, Mrs. Wei Guogong planned to help her look. Who would have guessed that she had not had time to look at each other. The night before, the other party fell into the water and died...I don't know. Who made the words clear, and gradually, Miss Wei got the name of Lian Ke and her husband.

Now she is sixteen years old, and she hasn't talked about others.

Miss Wei's marriage was originally a pain in the heart of Mrs. Wei Guogong, but Princess Qi had to step on the pain.

Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan, and Jiang Yixi were all stunned. This was just a sound of their mouths, and the two houses became a feud. This was considered unprecedented.

Princess Qi's ability to offend people is really impressive.

Thinking of this, several girls looked at Jiang Yixi with a hint of sympathy...

At this moment, Lily came over and said, "Prince Prince, the wine jars have all been moved out."

"Can you make wine?" Fu Yunyan couldn't wait to stand up.

The four girls moved to the backyard.

The sweet-scented osmanthus sugar has been fermented in the wine jar for several days, and the brewing of sweet-scented 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 wines are brewed for girls to drink, so what Nangong Yue chooses is basically rice wine.

The steps of making wine are extremely simple. The only thing to be careful about is the final sealing of the wine jar. If this is not sealed properly and the gas leaks, the jar of good wine will be ruined.

Seeing that the wine jars were re-sealed one by one and then moved into the wine cellar by the maids, Fu Yunyan's saliva could not help secreting, and couldn't wait to ask: "When will this sweet-scented osmanthus wine be drunk?"

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "At least a year. Yue'er, am I right?"

Seeing that Nangong Yue nodded, Fu Yunyan's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and she sighed, "No way? How long will it take a year."

Nangong Yue laughed and said, "Have you heard the old saying? 'Old wine makes good wine'. This year is already fast. If you keep it in the cellar for five years and drink it, it will be a good wine."

"Ayue," Fu Yunyan looked at Nangongyue flatteringly, "My requirements are not high, one year is enough!"

Seeing her wagging their tails like a puppy, Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi were amused by her. The small courtyard was filled with the laughter of the girls like silver bells, as if even the faint autumn mood had been dispelled...

"Concubine Shizi." While speaking, Lily was blessed with a blessed body and whispered in Nangong Yue's ear, "Just now, Zhuzi came to spread the word that Shizi is at the son's place and will come back later, so you don't wait for him to have dinner. already."

Nangong Yue nodded and waved her to step back.

Because of the emperor's decree, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai won't be noticeable no matter how close they are.

Recently, whether it was for the court or the southern border, the two of them had to put a lot of thought into it. Nangong Yue pondered for a while to let Lily bring some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes there.

Xiao Yi didn't know that he was going to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake soon. At this moment, he was in the palace where Guan Yubai lived, looking at a secret letter just sent.

Compared with the intelligence network in Guanyubai's hands, what Xiao Yi collected in the past few years can be considered quite simple, so Xiao Yi simply handed them all over to Guanyubai.

When Xiao Yi first made this decision, Guan Yubai couldn't help being shocked, but he quickly accepted it.

Xiao Yi casually put down the secret letter and said, "So, the Queen Mother's poison came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

The poisoning of the queen mother involved the court situation, so Xiao Yi and Guan Yu naturally couldn't ignore it, and they ordered someone to investigate early, and the news just came.

The official language Bai said calmly: "The head oil is a tribute from the Chen family of the royal merchant in Jiangnan, and it already contains the ingredients of Mosquitoes. The ones bought in some shops in Jiangnan are generally the same as those found by the Queen Mother. That is to say, the problem should be with the perfume. I searched for some of the same perfume, but there was no longevity flower. After the perfume was paid tribute, it only passed through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only the queen mother was in the palace. The queen and the concubine Deshu got some , the fragrances they get all have longevity flowers, so there is the greatest possibility that something went wrong in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

He tapped his fingers lightly on the bookcase and continued: "I ordered people to investigate all the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and found a very interesting thing. When Dayu was not yet established, Li Concubine was the emperor's personal maid. , once had a childhood sweetheart fiance. Later, Li Concubine opened his face and became a concubine. Later, the emperor was established as the prince, and Li Concubine was established as the prince Chenghui because he gave birth to the eldest son. So he got rid of his slave status. And now Zhang Yan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, is Li Concubine's former fiancé."

Li Concubine is the mother of the current emperor's eldest son.

"The hair oil of the Chen family was not included in the tribute in previous years. It was promoted by Zhang Yan. And the perfume entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs early, but it was only donated to the palace at the beginning of the year." Guan Yu sipped lightly. Taking a sip of tea, he said, "Although there is no complete evidence, according to my judgment, this should be done by Concubine Li and the First Prince."

Xiao Yi nodded, he didn't care who did it, they were all the emperor's sons, no matter who was the same. For them, more importantly...

"What should I do next?"

According to the original plan of him and Guan Yubai, he would use this incident to add some variables to the heir apparent to buy himself more time. But now... the third prince, Han Lingfu, has been disgusted and abandoned. If the first prince has another incident, the variables will obviously be much less.

"Let's put it down now." Guan Yubai thought about it for a long time, and said, "It's good that you and I know, this handle can be opened anytime, anywhere, don't be in a hurry, it has to be placed at the very top. It's a good time. I ordered people to move some hands and feet in Jiangnan, and Jin Yiwei's investigation will only lead to a deadlock... Let this matter leave a thorn in the emperor's heart for the time being."

Xiao Yi agreed with Guan Yubai's judgment without hesitation.

In the overall situation, Guan Yubai often sees farther than him.

Guan Yubai's unquestioned trust in Xiao Yi, from the start, has become accustomed to it now. He put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked, "Ayi, how's the Southern Border recently?"

"General Tian blocked my father and king for me. For the time being, the tens of thousands of people in my hands were saved." Speaking of the southern border, Xiao Yi frowned slightly. Wherever money is needed to train soldiers and people's livelihood, he has to rely on stinky girls every time. It was really hard for her to get together, "As for the Xuanjia Army, they are still practicing. Yao Lianghang and Mo Xiuyu have no experience. I don't expect them to be formed within a year or two. Anyway, let them exercise. Yes. Now, the design drawing of the mysterious armor you gave me last time was also sent here..."

Guan Yubai nodded slightly and said, "The best place to train an army is never on the training ground, but in actual combat..."

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, "Let's practice first, there will always be opportunities for actual combat."

Guan Yubai suddenly smiled and continued: "In fact, apart from actual combat, there are more important things for an army."

"Oh?" Xiao Yijian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"

"Belief."

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 elite soldier in his hands.

This elite army will obey him completely from top to bottom, and will no longer be King Zhennan.

Although Yao Lianghang and Mo Xiuyu are still young and inexperienced, they have boundless energy and fighting spirit because of their youth.

Since Xiao Yi handed over the formation of the Xuanjia Army to the two of them, the two of them have grown at a very fast speed, which can be said to be a thousand days a day.

From dawn to dusk, Mo Xiuyu would, as always, be in a huge training ground, watching the soldiers practice.

Cries came and went.

In the center of the arena, thousands of soldiers formed a huge phalanx. Following the shouts, the soldiers punched and kicked from time to time... They sent out shouts that shook the world. The world shook.

Just looking at it like this makes people feel blood boiling.

Mo Xiuyu personally formed this team, and witnessed how it grew stronger little by little, became well-trained, and became full of energy, but in just over half a year, it can almost be said to be completely new.

At this time, Yao Lianghang appeared at the entrance of the venue and waved to Mo Xiuyu, Mo Xiuyu nodded slightly, and then shouted stop in a thick voice.

The next moment, those soldiers stopped in unison, standing still.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War? Military Controversy Chapter" says: Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, as quiet as a forest, invaded as a fire, motionless as a mountain, difficult to know, as cloudy, and moved as thunder.

Seeing those soldiers sweating profusely, but full of energy, standing on the spot, not even shaking, Mo Xiuyu's eyes flashed with satisfaction, this elite army is already quite rudimentary, I believe that in time, it will definitely reach the prince's level. Father's request.

Then, he ordered the soldiers to run another thirty laps around the field, and then return to their tents to rest.

"Yes, Colonel Mo!" The soldiers responded in unison, shouting loudly, and then they ran neatly around the training ground. Each of them had the same speed and the same gap, and they were as neat as measuring with a ruler. Come out like.

Mo Xiuyu left the training ground with Yao Lianghang and went to Tian He's camp. As soon as Tian He saw the two, he waved to them with a smile and motioned them to sit down, holding a few pieces of letter paper in his hand.

Mo Xiuyu's eyes paused on the letter paper, he immediately thought of something, and said with a smile on his face, "General Tian, ​​but the letter from Shizi again?"

"Not bad." Tian He stroked his long beard and handed one of the letter papers to Mo Xiuyu.

Mo Xiuyu took a closer look and found that it was an armor design drawing. On the paper, a soldier was wearing black armor and a black robe and a black cloak. The breastplate was decorated with a scorching sun badge, and there was a sword on the waist. You can feel a solemn killing air.

After careful observation, he found that the black armor was improved and lighter, but it also protected the key points...

Mo Xiuyu couldn't hide his excitement and looked up at Tian He, "General Tian, ​​the prince is planning to..."

Tian He nodded and said: "Yes, the prince intends to make the three thousand mysterious armies wear this uniform armor and clothing."

Mo Xiuyu and Yao Lianghang looked at each other, their eyes full of blood. Once the Xuanjia Army is equipped with this special armor, it will be a unique existence in the southern border. As long as the people see the armor, they will know that it is the Xuanjia Army of Shi Ziye. Proud of identity... Even the soldiers of the Southern Border will be proud to join the Xuanjia Army in the future.

Yao Lianghang thought of something and said hesitantly, "General Tian, ​​but this armor is made of fine steel, from head to toe, a set of armor must be expensive, right?" People, that's 300,000 taels of snowflake silver.

Yao Lianghang felt a pain in his flesh just thinking about it.

Tian He said: "The eldest son said that the old lord left him two ore veins, one of which is iron ore... This time, the eldest son sent another 100,000 taels of silver." At least the initial expenses should be enough.

Mo Xiuyu and Yao Lianghang were overjoyed again. Once there was iron ore, it would save a lot of money. But there is still a lot of work to be done...

It's really hard work for Shi Ziye, the property has been occupied by the princess, not to mention, and now he has to work hard to raise money for them. If they don't train this Xuanjia army well, they will be so sorry for the prince.

Thinking of this, the three people in the camp became more energetic, and their eyes were full of high fighting spirit.

As Guan Yubai said, the growth of soldiers requires not only actual combat, but also faith!

At this moment, they all look forward to the return of the prince, and at that time they will use a legendary army as a welcome gift.

The night is getting darker...

In Luoyue City's Zhennan King's Mansion, there was another person who was not drowsy.

Xiao Fei was in his own room, spreading out an imperial decree with both hands, his face froze.

Taking the imperial concubine's appointment... Being a mother is not kind, treating my stepson Xiao Yi harshly, it is unbearable to be the honor of the concubine...

These words pierced Xiao Fei's heart like a sharp arrow, and a maid across from her was a little nervous, and urged in a low voice, "Miss, this servant has to return this imperial edict quickly... "If the prince finds out, it's hard to say whether he can save his life.

Xiao Fei stared at the imperial decree in his hand, and his hands unconsciously exerted force.

I see!

It's no wonder that the father's attitude has become so strange recently. He clearly agreed with her to go to the Ming and Qing Temple to visit his mother-in-law, but as soon as the imperial edict came, after the father returned to the palace, he immediately changed his mouth and said that the mother-in-law was going to the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Temple meditated and prayed, and did not want anyone to disturb him.

No matter how Xiao Fei thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, and in the end he could only blame the emperor's latest imperial decree.

But this time, the royal father concealed the content of the imperial edict strictly, and no one revealed a single sentence.

So, Xiao Fei simply took advantage of King Zhennan to go out today, and quietly ordered someone to take out the imperial decree, but at first glance, he jumped a lot. Rao had originally had all kinds of guesses, but she never expected that this would be written in the imperial edict.

Xiao Fei took a deep breath, rolled the imperial decree in his hand, and handed it back to the mammy.

Xiao Fei stood in the same place, without speaking for a long time, a flash of humiliation flashed in her always cold eyes. She has always thought of herself as an upright person, how could she have such a mother and concubine! If this lets outsiders know that the imperial concubine's imperial life has been taken away, how will they view themselves?

no! Never let outsiders know about this!

Xiao Fei bit her lower lip slightly, and finally understood why King Zhennan avoided talking about it, and the palace of Zhennan can't be the laughing stock of Southern Border!

At this moment, only Xiao Fei and her personal maid, Taoyao, were left in the room. Taoyao looked at Xiao Fei worriedly, "Girl..." Are you alright?

Xiao Fei took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "I'm going to the Mingqing Temple quietly, you can arrange it."

Taoyao hesitated for a moment when she thought that the prince had clearly ordered no one in the palace to talk about the princess and the prince, but she knew the temperament of her own girl best. Once Xiao Fei made a decision, not even the prince and princess could control it.

Taoyao responded and went out of the house to make arrangements.

The Mingqing Temple was a full three hours away from Luoyue City. If he wanted to go back and forth on the same day, Xiao Fei had to rush out the next day before dawn. At that time, the city gate had not even been opened, but with the help of Zhennan The palace's waist card, she still easily left the city.

The carriage galloped all the way, and finally arrived at the Ming and Qing Temple at a quarter of noon.

"Sister Fei!" When Mrs. Fang heard that Xiao Fei was coming, she smiled happily. After getting dressed, she went to the door to greet her in person, "Why are you here? Could it be your father..." He ordered you to come see your mother Concubine's?

Xiao Fei was wearing a lake green skirt, which made her skin better than snow, and her temperament was cold.

After bowing to Mrs. Xiao Fang, she answered honestly, "Father King doesn't know about my coming here, I sneaked out to see you quietly."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Fang's eyes, but she still smiled: "Sister Fei, you are the most filial to your mother and concubine." She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Fang didn't say it, but when he said the word "mother concubine", Xiao Fei's eyes darkened slightly, and followed the righteousness and persuaded: "Mother... We should also pay attention to some things, so as not to be caught in the wrong place.”

Xiao Fang's face turned black, and a breath was stuck in his chest. There are only her and her daughter here, who will talk nonsense about the conversation between them! This sister Fei is still so "upright", how could she raise such a daughter!

Xiao Fei didn't pay attention to Xiao Fang's face, and continued: "Mother, I came here to ask you something, and now the whole southern border is rumoured that you have occupied the eldest brother's property..." Xiao Fei put the recent The gossip was repeated in detail, and he also said what he saw in the imperial edict, and finally asked, "Mother, are these things true?"

Xiao Fang's face was sinking like water. She knew that these things had already been rumored, but when she heard that King Zhennan had concealed her life and was taken away, she was still overjoyed, thinking that maybe King Zhennan had no affection for her at all. ...

Xiao Fang's mind moved quickly. Originally, she was still worried that she could not see King Zhennan, and she had nowhere to use all means, but now she is really helped. Sister Fei is here, maybe she can ask Sister Fei to do something for her...

Mrs. Fang rationalized her thoughts, avoided the important and said the same rhetoric used to deal with King Zhennan to Xiao Fei again, trying to minimize the charges on her, "Sister Fei, mother... although my dear He took care of your grandfather's property on your behalf, but I really never thought about occupying and embezzling your elder brother's money... I blame those servants for their troubles, slaves and bullies!"

Xiao Fei frowned slightly, remembering Xiao Fang's doting on Xiao Yi in the past, and nodding with emotion, "In this way, it's really not all my mother's fault for this."

"Of course." Xiao Fang felt relieved and hurriedly replied.

Xiao Fei sighed and said: "Mother, I have persuaded you many times, the elder brother is stubborn and doesn't know what is good or bad, but you don't listen to my advice and insist on wasting your mother's heart on him. Now you also see Here, this is clearly just a small matter, the eldest brother can clearly write to the father and mother in private to explain the matter clearly, but he has to make trouble with the emperor and the queen, and you have been deprived of your life."

Xiao Fei's words all contained the meaning of "I knew this earlier, why did I have to do it in the first place", and Xiao Fang's forehead twitched in anger. If Xiao Fei was her daughter, and if she still asked for this daughter, she would almost turn her face. .

After Xiao Fang listened to Xiao Fei's words, she took Xiao Fei's hand and said, "Sister Fei, now my mother and mother have nothing, I can only rely on you. You must help mother! "

Xiao Fei sighed, "Mother, if there is anything I can do, just tell me."

Xiao Fang was overjoyed, 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.

Mrs. Fang handed the hairpin to Xiao Fei and said slowly, "It's very simple, as long as you put this hairpin on your head and show your face in front of your father." Xiao Fang The corner of Shi's mouth twitched, and with what she knew about King Zhennan, once he saw this hairpin, he would definitely evoke old feelings...

After all, the two of them knew each other under such circumstances...

Who would have thought that Xiao Fei frowned, pushed the hosta back decisively, looked at Xiao Fang with a strange look, and said slowly, "Mother, I'm only twelve years old."

Xiao Fang knew this daughter's temperament very well, and patiently said: "Sister Fei, mother... I just want you to walk in front of your father." At most, it was just a stick of incense.

Xiao Fei was indifferent, and said righteously: "Mother, these rules are rules, rules are more than everything, and there is no circle without rules. I'm only twelve years old, and I don't have a hairpin, so of course I can't wear a hairpin! If I do this, Father King Don't you think I'm a person who doesn't understand the rules?" After speaking, Xiao Fei looked at Xiao Fang with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Mother is so unruly, it is no wonder that she has fallen into the situation she is today, but she is her own mother...

Xiao Fang's throat almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.

What the hell did she do! The sons and daughters are so worry-free, they clearly have everything planned, as long as they cooperate in a small way, everything will come naturally, but they just refuse to cooperate!

Everything she does is not for them, as the saying goes: "Mothers are more valuable to their children, and children are more valuable to their mothers". Only when they are good can they be good as children.

Mrs. Fang took a deep breath and said to Xiao Fei, "Sister Fei, has your mother ever begged you when you are so grown up? Can't your mother only beg you this time?"

If Xiao Fei moved, she quickly said decisively: "Mother, people should know what to do and what not to do. I forgive my daughter for not agreeing to you."

Even though he begged her so humbly, she actually... Xiao Fang finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, pointed at Xiao Fei and scolded: "Get out of here! I don't think you are a daughter!"

"Mother, you are angry now. When you calm down, you will know that I am right. Today I will leave first." Xiao Feifu walked behind and really left.

As soon as she came out of the room, she heard a banging sound from behind, apparently Xiao Fang was smashing something in a venting manner.

Xiao Fei shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself: Mother's temperament is still not calm enough.

She pondered for a moment, and had an idea in her mind. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, there is only one way to exonerate the mother and get her official life.

She must make the big brother forgive the mother!

Xiao Fei's cold eyes flashed with determination.

Taoyao knew her own girl best, so she couldn't help but have a bad premonition, she hesitated and said, "Gu, girl..." Don't do stupid things.

Xiao Fei said decisively: "Let's go to the capital."

Taoyao and another personal maid, Baizhou, were instantly stunned.

Taoyao asked cautiously, "Girl, do you want to speak to the prince?"

"No need." Xiao Fei waved his hand and said, "We'll go right away."

But……

Taoyao and Bai Zhou were immediately dumbfounded, they came out without money this time!

The girls in their family never bothered about yellow and white things. They only thought that money was too tacky, but how could they go all the way to the capital without money?
