After these plain-textured posts are stamped with the seal of "Bixiaotang", they will be handed over to the affairs department and dispersed to the various prefectures...

These posts are like pebbles falling into the lake, ripples appearing one after another.

After receiving the post, almost all the prefectures exploded.

Since more than a year ago, Mrs. Fang went to the Ming and Qing Temple to pray for blessings, and Concubine Wei began to feed in the palm of her hand, the palace has never entertained guests again. Although Mrs. Wei is a second-rank side concubine, she is also a side room and a concubine, and she does not dare and cannot post a banquet for guests. Even if Mrs. Wei posts a post, what kind of main room would be foolish enough to come to the door to socialize with a concubine. !

Therefore, after the princess and the prince Xiao Yi returned to the southern border, all the palaces have been waiting for the Zhennan Palace to hold a banquet and post to officially introduce the prince to everyone.

But what they didn't expect was that they didn't wait for Xiao Fang's post, but waited for the one from Concubine Shi!

No, Mrs. Tian from General Tian's Mansion was a little embarrassed when she received the post.

What the hell is going on here?

How can you post in the name of the princess?

Mrs. Tian thought and thought, but she went to Mrs. Tian's yard and presented the post sent by the princess to Mrs. Tian.

"Mother," Mrs. Tian looked at Mrs. Tian and said hesitantly, "I heard that since Mrs. went to the Ming and Qing Temple to pray for blessings in the palace last year, Concubine Wei has been in charge for more than a year. This post... Could it be that the palace is now headed by the prince's concubine?"

Mrs. Tian, ​​who was sitting on the chair of the master, took the post and glanced at it. Her eyes stayed on the chapter of the post for a moment, then she closed it, and said in deep thought, "It's hard to say. The Yaoguang County Master, who was appointed by the emperor, even the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, and he won the favor."

Mrs. Tian was a little embarrassed. Now the situation in the palace is unknown. The princess sent this post, should she go or not? If the imperial concubine made a post without authorization, then if they went to the appointment, wouldn't they offend Xiao Fang?

Mrs. Tian probably also saw what Mrs. Tian was thinking, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Eldest daughter-in-law, do you know how your father's relationship with Shi Ziye is?"

Mrs. Tian was stunned, the entire southern border knew that Tian He and the prince Xiao Yi were close, and the prince was the first to follow.

Madam Tian's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

Yes, since the father-in-law Tian He has made it clear to the outside world that he will follow the prince Xiao Yi, then it is natural for them to unite the front.

It's not like the men outside are facing the prince, but their inner courtyard is going to go to the little Fang's family, right?

To please both ends, this is not for outsiders to see a joke!

Mrs. Tian submissively blessed Mrs. Tian, ​​and said convincingly, "Thank you mother for the suggestion."

Not to mention what Beppu thinks, for their Tianfu, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the Wangfu. Since Concubine Shizi posted a post, Tianfu always wants to give Concubine Shizi this face, and they are bound to go to this banquet!

After thinking about it, Mrs. Tian's heart was settled, and she talked with Mrs. Tian at will.

For other princely parties like Tianfu, this banquet is bound to go. The ones who are really uncertain are those who have not expressed their opinions. They are afraid that they will offend Zhennan Wang and his wife. If they don’t go, they are afraid of offending the prince. Unhappy... These people couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they quietly went to inquire about the current situation of Zhennan's palace, but learned that the palace is still headed by Concubine Wei.

The result of the detection only made them more hesitant, whether to go or not to go? !

The prince and the prince's concubine presented them with a huge problem!

Of course, Nangong Yue knew what kind of waves her post would create. It should be said that this was originally a road stone she cast.

The date of the banquet is set for May 28th. It's only ten days.

Bixiaotang has not had a mistress for a long time, and she has not brought many maids and wives from the capital, so she is not easy to use, so many things have to be done by herself. For a time, Nangong Yue was a little confused.

It's been a busy few days.

On this day, she was looking at the table menu just prepared by the small kitchen, and Concubine Wei came to spread the word that Mrs. Qiao was coming.

Madam Qiao is the eldest sister of King Zhennan, Xiao Yi's aunt, and her husband lives in Li County.

After all, who is the elder, since Mrs. Qiao came to the palace, Nangong Yue should go and say hello.

It's just that the timing is interesting...

As far as Nangong Yue knew, Mrs. Qiao was the eldest daughter of the old town Nanwang and his wife. When she was a child, the Xiao family was not in such a situation. It can only be said to be an ordinary military household. The old princess brought her younger brothers and sisters at home, and her temperament was a bit savage and she said nothing. Zhennan Wang listened to the elder sister's words very much when he was young.

Across the small garden from Bixiaotang is the flower hall on the other side of the palace. At this moment, the doors and windows of the flower hall are wide open, and two women are sitting. The younger one is naturally Concubine Wei, and the older one is , both unfamiliar and familiar, she looks more than forty years old, graceful and luxurious, and her face is four or five points similar to that of King Zhennan, especially the arrogant temperament on the corner of her mouth.

Nangong Yue's eyes swept across Madam Qiao without a trace, and then stopped on the four maids behind her who were wearing one-color pink dresses.

The corners of Nangong Yue's lips curved slightly, and walked in quietly.

At the same time, Mrs. Qiao was also looking at Nangong Yue, her eyes showing a critical look, she saw that Nangong Yue was wearing a rose red embroidered gold thread peony dress, which made her complexion crystal clear and showed the unique beauty of a girl. .

Seeing Nangong Yue coming, Concubine Wei hurriedly bowed and said with a smile, "Concubine Shizi, this is my aunt."

Nangong Yue walked into the hall without haste, with a well-mannered manner, and even the jade pendant that pressed the skirt did not shake at all. She walked over to Mrs. Qiao and followed, turned her body sideways, and said blessedly, "My niece greets my aunt!"

Mrs. Qiao didn't wake up, and she didn't give a greeting gift to recognize her relatives. Nangong Yue was as clear as a mirror to her intentions, so she straightened up.

Mrs. Qiao frowned unhappily when she saw this. This prince concubine, who believes that she is the prince of the emperor, does not care about their elders, she is simply disrespectful.

Madam Qiao sneered: "Princess Shizi is really busy with other people's affairs."

"Thank you aunt for your love, I'm a little busy these days." Nangong Yue said as she walked across from Madam Qiao and sat down by herself.

Madam Qiao picked up the tea cup aside, took a sip, and said with a sneer, "Concubine Shi will have a feast at Bixiao Hall in a few days. She is indeed very busy."

Mrs. Qiao received the post the day before yesterday. When she knew that this post was sent by Bi Xiaotang in her own name, she became angry at that time.

This niece is so unruly!

She immediately came to Luoyue City from Li County, and directly asked Nangong Yue to call over, intending to teach her a lesson herself.

Nangong Yue nodded with a smile, "Auntie is right."

Seeing her calm appearance, Madam Qiao became angry and said angrily, "Prince Concubine, it stands to reason that you are from a family of Nangong, and you should be familiar with the female commandments, and the emperor has named you the master of Yaoguang County. Then the rules are naturally learned very well. Why did you act so Meng Lang this time, and even held a banquet in the name of Bixiaotang. Don't forget, your father and mother are all here! Even if you want a banquet, it should be the town The post of the Nanwangfu."

Speaking of which, Mrs. Qiao slammed her palm on the table on the side, and reprimanded fiercely: "Could it be that because you are the Yuguang County Master, and the marriage conferred by the emperor, you can do it yourself. Do you think that the rules of the palace are not taken seriously?"

From beginning to end, Nangong Yue's face was as usual, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

She straightened her back and looked directly at Madam Qiao: "Auntie is serious! I admit that I have always been cautious in my words and deeds, and I have never lived up to the expectations of the emperor and the empress."

This is really black and white! Madam Qiao was so angry that she almost missed the call, and sneered: "Princess Shizi, you have gone beyond your husband's parents and held a banquet to spread invitations, do you still have reason?"

Nangong Yue responded calmly: "Aunt, grandfather and grandmother specially set up a ceremony gate for Bixiaotang, just to let the prince handle the affairs of Bixiaotang independently. When grandmother and mother-in-law were alive, mother-in-law also posted on Bixiaotang. Xiaotang has entertained guests. Aunt will never forget it."

An old lady behind Mrs. Qiao hurriedly lowered her voice and reminded Mrs. Qiao in her ear.

Mrs. Qiao just remembered that in that year, shortly after the wedding of the prince of Zhennan and the Dafang family, the old Zhennan king opened the Bixiao Hall for them. At that time, the Dafang family held a banquet in the Bixiao Hall. Naturally received posts.

After more than ten years, she had already forgotten about it!

Madam Qiao's fist was tightly clenched in her sleeve, and she was speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was a little stiff, and no one spoke for a while. Concubine Wei's scalp was numb when she heard it. Whether it was Mrs. Qiao or Concubine Shizi, it was not her concubine who offended her.

Wei Shi quietly gave the maid next to her a wink, and soon, a maid came in with a plate of fruit.

Wei Shi smiled and said, "Prince Prince, this is the lychee that your aunt brought today. It's sweet and juicy. You can try it, and bring a few baskets back to Bixiaotang later."

Wei's kindness eased the atmosphere, and Nangong Yue was not an ignorant person, and said cooperatively, "I have heard from the prince that the lychees in the southern border are delicious, and today I finally have a good time." She said that, she owed I thanked Mrs. Qiao, "Then I would like to thank my aunt."

Madam Qiao held back her anger and reminded herself the purpose of this time.

This kind of new daughter-in-law, who thinks that she is favored, is so arrogant that she doesn't take her elders seriously, and she dares to hold a private banquet today. If you don't press her to be obedient, you can get it in the future.

Thinking of this, she smiled reluctantly and said, "Although it's too early to say thank you, Concubine Shizi, I, as an aunt, do have a gift to give to Concubine Shizi today."

As she spoke, she made a gesture and said arrogantly to the four maids behind her, "Why don't you guys hurry up and greet the princess!"

The four maids walked out of the queue, walked to Nangong Yue, and bowed their knees respectfully to her.

Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup as if nothing had happened, and used the tea lid to remove the tea foam, neither answering nor asking the four maids to get up.

A look of displeasure flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes, and she said in a bad tone, "Although Concubine Shizi has just come to Southern Xinjiang, has it been a few years since she was married to Yi?"

Nangong Yue said lightly, "It should be a year and a half since I returned to my aunt."

"It's been a year and a half." Madam Qiao sighed and said righteously, "Concubine Shi, don't think I'm a talkative aunt, as a woman, she should be generous and help her husband's family. It is a woman's duty to open up branches and loose leaves. Concubine Shizi, originally you and Ayi are not very old, so I shouldn't have urged..." As she said that, she glanced at Nangongyue's abdomen with her eyes. As if to say, you have been here for a year and a half, how come there is still no movement in your stomach? !

Nangong Yue smiled. Although she was not yet married, others probably didn't know that she and Xiao Yi had not married yet. But even so, for a married aunt to actually take care of the affairs of her nephew's room, her hand is too long.

Mrs. Wei has long been speculating about how Madam Qiao brought four enchanting maids here. She thought she was going to give it to King Zhennan, but she didn't think that Madam Qiao was targeting the prince.

Madam Qiao really doesn't understand the temperament of this prince!

Wei Shi sighed in her heart, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Great auntie, the princess is still young..."

Madam Qiao saw that Nangong Yue was still laughing, and the anger in her heart could not be suppressed any longer, so she interrupted Mrs. Wei directly, and snorted coldly, "The Concubine Shizi can't wait, our Xiao family can't wait! Concubine Shizi can't wait! , our Xiao family's children are weak, and in A Yi's generation, there are only A Yi and his younger brother two boys, my aunt is really anxious for the Xiao family!"

She pointed to the four maids, "As the saying goes, the gift of the elders is irresistible. These four maids were carefully selected by my aunt. They are all well-behaved and well-behaved. I will give them to my niece today. You Take it back and let Ayi take the room, if you are fortunate enough to have a son and a half daughter, you have to call you mother."

Nangong Yue looked at her calmly, with a decent smile on her face, and said, "Auntie finished?"

Madam Qiao's face turned cold, but she saw Nangong Yue's clear black eyes looking at her, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but she felt a chill in her heart.

Nangong Yue looked at Madam Qiao with her black eyes, and said, "Aunt's kindness, please forgive the princess."

Claiming to have changed from "I" to "This County Lord", Nangong Yue also seemed to have broken away from her status as a junior, and sat here as a high-ranking County Lord.

Although Mrs. Qiao was the direct daughter of King Zhennan, she was born early and grew up in the countryside. It was only after the King of Zhennan was enfeoffed by the vassal that she became the noble daughter of the royal palace. At this time, sitting in front of Nangong Yue, who had a natural air, she unconsciously seemed to be a little shorter.

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Qiao slapped the table, looked at her angrily, and said firmly, "Do you still have any rules, dare to talk to me like this."

Naturally, Nangong Yue would not express her gratitude with a virtuous face to the cheap aunt who came here for no apparent reason. She smiled and looked at her with a little pity and said, "...I'm afraid my aunt doesn't know something, the son of an aristocratic family. Inheritance, descendants and concubines are different."

Just the four words "Different from descendants" are enough to explain everything.

No amount of concubines can be as noble as a direct descendant, and what's more, there is an iron law in all dynasties that "concubine shall not be rank."

Mrs. Qiao really forgot that her younger brother was the eldest son, and the father had to be the queen of the vassal, so he directly asked to seal the prince. In today's palace, Xiao Yi and Xiao Luan are both direct sons, and there is no concubine concubine in her own mansion. How can she still remember the saying that "concubine can't be a prince".

However, she didn't remember either, what did Nangong Yue mean when she said this, was she mocking her for not knowing the rules and having no knowledge?

Madam Qiao's expression turned a little colder, and she said, "It's just one or two concubines. Could it be that the concubine can't tolerate it?"

Nangong Yue leisurely picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the tea, and said, "...Eight years ago, there was a case of brothers competing for the title in the Houcheng of Chengcheng. The second brother of Marquis Chengyi, in the name of the concubine who has no right to inherit the title, wrote to the ancestral mansion, requesting that the title be inherited by the second house. One after another, it was publicized, and finally, in a fit of anger, the late emperor issued a decree to demote the Hou Chengyi as Uncle Chengyi."

Nangong Yue said so plainly, Madam Qiao naturally understood the meaning behind her words. This imperial concubine was implying that she was helping Xiao Luan, so she wanted to disturb Xiao Yi's inner courtyard...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao felt stuffy in her chest, and her face was so dark that the clouds covered it.

Nangong Yue didn't seem to think it was enough. She glanced at Mrs. Qiao again with a half-smile, and said in a meaningful way: "Auntie, there is no distinction between direct descendants and concubines. ?" She didn't expect to get an answer either, so she stood up and said, "Auntie, this county master and Bixiaotang's media feeder trivial matters need to be dealt with, so I'll leave first."

Saying that, she was blessed, and she ignored Madam Qiao who was so angry that she turned around and left.

And the four young and beautiful maids looked at each other and thought to themselves: the princess is gone, what should they do?

Not long after Nangong Yue returned to Bixiaotang, she got the news, Madam Qiao angrily flicked her sleeves and left, not even taking the four maids with her.

Concubine Wei naturally did not dare to send people to Bixiaotang, so she simply told King Zhennan that Mrs. Qiao sent it to him. Mrs. Qiao obviously sent Zhennan King's beautiful maid in the past, so he didn't think it was different, and accepted it happily.

Nangong Yue was interesting to hear that although this Mrs. Qiao was a married aunt, judging from her words and deeds today, I am afraid she often interferes in her parents' affairs.

But today, she came here, on the surface, it was because Bixiaotang held a banquet, but in fact, she was just used to being the master. Bixiaotang's post made her feel embarrassed, so she hurried to ask the guilt. She just wanted to take the opportunity to convince herself that she could continue to be the master of Bixiao Hall in the future.

Nangong Yue can't take care of the affairs of the palace for the time being, but this Bixiao Hall is not for everyone to walk.

The temptation brought by this small plain tattoo may be more than they expected...

Nangong Yue was not affected at all, and the menu was settled happily. He also drew up a list and asked them to hand it over to the small kitchen, and asked them to cook a medicated porridge, and then waited for Xiao Yi to come back and then go to have dinner with Mrs. Fang together.

However, Xiao Yi came back at three o'clock when she came back, hugged her as soon as she came back, rubbed her coquettishly, and then said with a smile, "Stinky girl, I just received a letter from Xiaobai."

Although Nanjiang and Wangdu are thousands of miles apart, there are flying pigeons between Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai from time to time.

Xiao Yi was in a very good mood, he pulled her to sit side by side by the window, took out a piece of silk paper as thin as a cicada's wings from his arms, took the initiative to unfold it, and spread it out on the table.

This is a blueprint, and it is also a structural drawing of a repeating crossbow.

Although Nangong Yue knew nothing about weapons, Guan Yubai's picture was so detailed that even an illiterate person could see the clues at a glance.

Xiao Yi explained from the side: "After seeing the repeating crossbow presented by the third prince, Xiaobai felt that this idea was a bit interesting. After careful consideration and trial production a few times, it finally came to fruition. According to Xiaobai, the firing speed and range of this new crossbow are much better than those of the original crossbow, and..." As he spoke, the corner of his mouth twitched and he blinked, "It will never fall apart."

Nangong Yue picked up the design drawing of the repeating crossbow and looked at it carefully, and was overjoyed in her heart.

This design drawing is so important to Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi continued: "Xiao Bai also said that he has made a few, and he is sending them to me quickly... I guess they should be able to arrive at the beginning of next month, and then let's try the crossbow together!" , The smile on his face grew a little more, "Originally, although this continuous crossbow needs a lot of iron arrows, we don't have enough money. But now this is not a problem."

The smile on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth was even stronger. The Fang family accounted for most of the mines in the southern border. He needed iron, so he could ask Mrs. Fang to buy it.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi couldn't wait. He pulled up Nangong Yue and said, "Ayue, let's go to Tingyu Pavilion... For my grandson's sake, my grandfather should give me something cheaper." He joked. He said, "Ayue, you have to help me say more good things later..."

Looking at Xiao Yi's handsome face that seemed to be glowing, Nangong Yue couldn't help but be infected, with a bright smile.
