Chapter 1077: 384

When Xiao Yi came back, it was already past lunch time, and Nangong Yue had already eaten it, but thinking that Xiao Yi didn't know when he would come back, he ordered the small kitchen to simmer chicken soup. Hot chicken noodle soup.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yi came back, he ate something.

This time, he was starving, and he ate three bowls in one go, and then he burped comfortably.

Nangong Yue looked at him amusingly, handed him an elegant handkerchief, and asked him to wipe the corners of his mouth which were still stained with soup.

Xiao Yi took another sip of tea and rinsed his mouth before he said: "Ayue, tomorrow morning, I will go to Kailian City with Xiaohezi and the others... Don't worry, it will be alright, I will be there in a few days. will be back."

He looked at Nangong Yue for a while, feeling a little guilty. In fact, he had planned for a long time that he would go to Kailian City, but he thought that Nangong Yue had just come to the southern border with him all the way, and he was still unfamiliar with the place, so he was about to go out...

"Ayi, don't worry." Nangong Yue covered the back of his right hand with a smile, without the slightest displeasure. As a prince, Xiao Yi naturally has something he should do. Furthermore, compared to last year's Baiyue trip, this time he just went to the nearest city of Kailian.

She is not the kind of person who is so delicate that she has to rely on Xiao Yi for everything. What she wants to be is his backing, his home, not his obstacle or his weakness.

Nangong Yue looked directly at him without evasion, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Ayi, I will wait for you at home!"

Her slight smile seemed to cast a stone in the lake of his heart, and ripples appeared. Xiao Yi's heart was agitated, and he finally couldn't help taking her into his arms.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for! What more can I ask for!

With his stinky girl, he has a wife, relatives, confidants, and—

care!

Grandfather said that a soldier should not be afraid on the battlefield, but he must also be concerned. There is no concern, like a sword that only knows how to hurt people, there is no return.

Fortunately, he has his stinky girl...

The masters are yours, and the maids have long since retired.

There are not many things to prepare for Xiao Yi's trip, and there are not many things to say... These things, Nangong Yue has always done it herself, and only let the maids do it.

The next day, before dawn, Xiao Yi got up. He wanted to be quiet, but the two of them slept in the same room and Nangong Yue was awake again. How could he hide from her? Watching her get up sleepily.

Anyway, I didn't go out to see guests, so Nangong Yue only wore a simple brush, wore a light plain robe, and had breakfast with Xiao Yi.

With the experience of Xiao Yi's two trips before, Nangong Yue and the maids are already familiar, and everything is arranged in an orderly and orderly manner.

After Xiao Yi finished eating, Nangong Yue went to Dongyimen to send Xiao Yi off in person, then fell asleep again, and didn't get up until Chen Shi.

Now there is no need to go to Xiao Fang's place to save the morning and evening, Nangong Yue leisurely started to manage the affairs of Bixiaotang.

The little maids chosen yesterday, An Niang has already taken them to teach the rules, and they will not be of any use for a while. This time they brought fewer people when they came back, so they could only work harder for the time being.

Nangong Yue explained that Baihui will pay double the monthly payment this month.

As soon as this good news passed on, both the old servants they brought, and the servants who had stayed in Bixiaotang to watch the courtyard were all very happy, especially the servants of Bixiaotang, who were very happy with the new master. His temperament is still a little worrying, but I didn't expect that Concubine Shizi would be so generous in her actions without saying anything else! This is a great advantage that nothing can compare to!

For a time, the hearts of the people were settled, and they worked a lot harder.

Although Xiao Yi also took Nangong Yue around the Bixiao Hall two days ago, it was like watching flowers on a horse, so she walked again today with Baihui and Queer, intending to see what else What areas need to be renovated or replaced.

Bixiaotang has been idle for many years, and naturally no one will bother to arrange and adjust the furnishings here. For example, some red sandalwood furniture, mahogany furniture, etc., because they are well maintained, they seem to have more charm than those new furniture, but some of the furnishings are just It is obviously a bit outdated, such as the screen in the banquet room, such as a floor-to-ceiling vase in the small flower hall somehow missing a corner, such as the paper on the wall of the council hall is a little moldy...

Thrush carefully recorded everything Nangong Yue said, and this writing actually filled a list.

After Nangong Yue glanced at the list, she said thoughtfully, "I remember that there should be several screens in Yi's private library, as well as some large and small vases... Baihui, you and Thrush will run for a while. Come and see what fits and replace it quickly."

Baihui responded, and then looked at Thrush. The two of them went to see that private library of Shi Ziye last time, and it was a mess. Inventory. This is no small project.

Next, Baihui, Queer, and Thrush called a few of them. They brought their mother-in-law from Wangdu and spent two days sorting out Xiao Yi's private treasury in Ningxia Residence. What should be lost is lost, and it can be repaired. Just make up for it, and all the other intact items have been moved into the warehouse on the side of Bixiaotang.

The speed of a few maids was quite fast. It didn't take long for Nangong Yue to get the new account books of the private library from Baihui. Compared with the two old account books of the private library, Baihui and the others specially marked them. Some things were discarded, and some things were forgotten to be included in the book at the beginning, so there were more.

In fact, among the things in the booklet, there are not many things that can be used in Bixiaotang. Most of the things in this private library were given to Xiao Yi by the old town Nanwang, and some of them were saved by Xiao Yi when he was in the southern border. , but he was young at that time, and most of his savings were weapons, the four treasures of the study, fur, and some fresh and interesting gadgets. There were actually very few things that were really valuable.

Looking at the old account book, Nangong Yue seemed to see how Xiao Yi was saving his belongings little by little, just like a swallow holding a branch little by little and then building its own nest. kind of fun...

Seeing Nangongyue's uncontrollable expression from time to time, Que'er suspected that Concubine Shizi was not looking at the same thing she saw, so she and Baihui couldn't help looking at each other.

Such a big disturbance in Ningxiaju naturally reached Xiao Fang's ears, and Xiao Fang immediately thought that this might be a great opportunity for him.

So when King Zhennan came to the main courtyard for lunch, Mrs. Fang deliberately asked, "My lord, I heard that the concubine was busy arranging the Bixiao Hall for the past two days, and I thought about it. Shouldn't we open the big warehouse and send some things to Bixiaotang?" Xiao Fang's mother's attitude seemed to be thinking about everything for Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue.

Based on Xiao Fang's understanding of King Zhennan, King Zhennan never cares about "trivial matters" such as opening the warehouse, and he will probably do it as soon as he opens his mouth.

Unexpectedly, King Zhennan's face was sinking like water, and he didn't speak for a while.

Mrs. Fang couldn't help being anxious. She didn't say it in a beautiful scene, but really hoped that the king of Zhennan would agree to open the big warehouse of the palace, because only in this way can there be a reasonable excuse for Concubine Wei to correct the warehouse. Once the card is handed over, after handing it over, it is up to you if you still haven't returned it. Could it be that Concubine Wei still dared to ask for the right card from her main room? !

With the precedent of the warehouse, she will naturally be able to get back the right to feed back little by little.

Mrs. Fang rationalized her thoughts, observed King Zhennan's face, and said softly: "My lord, Bixiao Hall has been empty for so many years, there must be many things that can no longer be used. Shizi and Shizi The concubine finally came back, so they have to make their stay more comfortable and wishful."

King Zhennan's face was even colder, and he was still unhappy that Xiao Yifei was going to Kailian City.

"Don't worry about them." Zhennan Wang Yu said sneeringly, "they have always had big ideas and have their own opinions. We parents are obviously well-intentioned, but this child is unwilling to appreciate it, so it can only be left to them. I smashed my head and bleed myself."

Little Fang never thought that King Zhennan would react like this, and the corners of his eyes twitched. But with such a great opportunity, it was really unwilling to let her give up on her.

"My lord, the prince is young..."

"It's eighteen years old, it's not too young!" King Zhennan interrupted Xiao Fang in a cold voice, "Madam, this king knows that you have always had a loving heart for that Nizi, and think about him in everything. But how is that Nizi? For you, you have also seen it. As the saying goes: 'There is no kindness in life' Worry about it! In the future, Madam will not take care of the affairs over Bixiaotang, and let him and the concubine live their lives by themselves... When they suffer, they will regret it!"

Zhennan Wang kept talking, making Xiao Fang almost unable to speak, and he couldn't say anything when he was suffering.

In other words, what else could Xiao Fang say?

She could only give up this plan unwillingly for the time being, and think about whether there is any other way.

She can't believe it anymore, she can't take back the central feed of the palace!

While Xiao Fang was unwilling, a visitor was also welcomed in the Bixiao Hall, which was still being sorted out.

This was the first person in the palace to visit after the reopening of Bixiao Hall, except for Xiao Fei.

When she heard Queer's report that Concubine Wei asked to see her, Nangongyue raised her eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.

Others may not know the origin of the side concubine Wei, but she knows it all too well. Although Xiao Yi gave Wei a "opportunity", it is definitely not a simple person for this woman to be able to change from a "thin horse" to a second-rank concubine of Zhennan Wang.

Nangong Yue straightened her clothes, got up and said, "Please ask Concubine Wei to go to the East Room."

"Yes, Concubine Shizi." Que'er led the order away.

When Nangong Yue arrived at Dongci, Mrs. Wei was sitting on an armchair, and she was holding a little girl about two or three years old who was carved in pink and jade.

Mrs Wei wore a moon-white gauze dress with dark flowers on the front, black blue silk wrapped in a peony bun, and only a white jade hairpin on her head. It looked beautiful and moving, like a spring water. If it wasn't for her wearing a woman's hair accessories, she would be more like a girl in a waiting room. It's no wonder that over the past few years, she has been able to firmly grasp the heart of King Zhennan and take charge of the central feeder of the palace.

Before Nangong Yue could approach, Mrs. Wei put Xiao Rongyu down, stood up, and bowed her knees gracefully and gracefully: "Prince Concubine."

Nangong Yue also returned the salute with a smile.

Xiao Rongyu imitated Mrs. Wei's appearance, and blessed her body with non-standard movements. She shouted in a sweet voice, "Hello, sister-in-law." The little girl was born mellow and lovely. The movement of her body was even more shaky, which made Nangong Yue's eyes tinge with a smile. She reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile, "Hello, Sister Yu."

Nangong Yue noticed that Xiao Rongyu was wearing the golden locks she gave last time around her neck, and she knew Wei's intentions very well.

The two sat down as host and guest, and Nangong Yue ordered the maid to get some easy-to-grow cakes.

At this time, Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "Concubine Shi, I should have come to say hello earlier, but I just thought that Concubine Shi came from thousands of miles from the capital, and the journey was exhausting, and secondly, I must have to pack up these days, but it's just I'm here to cause trouble for the princess."

Nangong Yue also smiled slightly and said politely, "Concubine Wei has a heart."

Wei Shi looked around and praised attentively: "Prince Shizi really is ingenious, this Bixiaotang was empty before, and Liao was very quiet, but now it's so elegant and quiet that I don't recognize it. already."

Nangong Yue has just sorted out the sevens, sevens, eights, and eight, and the Dongci room is actually similar to the original, except that a few vases are placed on the high-footed table in the corner, and a few blooming camellias are inserted... But in Wei's mouth, it seemed that Nangong Yue had repainted the house, replaced all the furniture and rearranged it.

Nangong Yue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she smiled and said nothing.

The maids served two plates of cakes. Nangong Yue took a small piece and handed it to Xiao Rongyu, "Sister Yu, try this."

Xiao Rongyu smiled innocently. She turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Wei. Seeing Mrs. Wei nodding at her, she reached out to take the cake and said tenderly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Wei shi has been paying attention to Nangong Yue, and she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she sees the tenderness in her eyes looking at Xiao Rongyu.

It seems that this princess is still easy to get along with.

Wei Shi was a little worried at first, worried that if the princess was as cunning and mean as Madam said, it would be troublesome.

But Wei Shi can't help it. She knows her identity. Although she is favored by King Zhennan now, she has no family background and no support. Under Fang's hands, I am afraid that they will not have a good life.

She can only survive on the side of the prince.

Wei brought Xiao Rongyu here, also to show his goodwill to Nangong Yue. She thought to herself that it has been almost two years since Concubine Shizi married, and most brides at this age like children.

Seeing that Nangong Yue was kind to Xiao Rongyu, the smile on Wei's face became a little more sincere.

"Prince Concubine," Wei said with a smile, "Concubine Shizi, I heard that you have lived in the north since you were a child, and the taste of the children in the north is very different from our southern border. I don't know how well you use the meals in the palace these days. ?"

Nangong Yue smiled, noncommittal.

After coming to the Zhennan Palace, the three meals a day were delivered by the big kitchen, and each dish was served according to the sample, but it was done meticulously, and there was no cutting corners. In fact, Nangong Yue had asked people to open the small kitchen in Bixiaotang for a long time, and occasionally asked the cook brought from the capital to open a small stove, but the cost could not be taken from the public, and Bixiaotang could only pay for it.

Nangong Yue didn't care about these trivial expenses, but she had guessed seven or eight points about Wei's implication.

Sure enough, Mrs Wei continued to smile and said: "...I wanted to find a cook from the north, but I couldn't find it for a while. The princess is just here, so I can't let you use something that doesn't suit your taste. During the meal, I thought, if the Concubine Shi is accompanied by a cook, can I trouble the Concubine to open a small kitchen, of course, all expenses will be paid from the public."

Not to mention the taste for the time being, it was always inconvenient to pass meals from the big kitchen of the palace. Nangong Yue had planned to wait a while to find an opportunity to propose that the daily expenses of Bixiaotang should be separated from the palace of the palace. Now Concubine Wei first mentioned the matter of opening a small kitchen, and Nangong Yue naturally would not refuse, showing an embarrassed look, and said, "I am indeed not used to the dishes from the south... Then I would like to thank Concubine Wei. Kindly."

Wei's smile deepened, and she hurriedly said, "Concubine Shi is being polite. If there is something wrong with the concubine, I hope Concubine Haihan."

With a smile on Nangong Yue's lips, she said, "I see that Sister Yu is so cute. Concubine Wei will bring her to visit me more in the future."

Wei Shi was overjoyed, "That's natural! It's a blessing for Sister Yu to have your sister-in-law to love her."

Wei Shi knew that she was still busy arranging Bixiao Hall, so she didn't stay much, and after a few words of greetings, she took Xiao Rongyu to say goodbye.

After she left, Thrush said with a smile, "Concubine Shizi, the servant will go to let the small kitchen draw up tomorrow's menu."

These days, Concubine Shizi didn't eat much and lost weight! Gotta let the little kitchen do some good cooking!
