When Xiao Yi returned to Bixiao Hall with a faint smell of alcohol, it was Hai Shi, and Nangong Yue had already finished washing up, lying on the beauty's couch and looking at the book leisurely.
Seeing him come back, Nangong Yue put down the book of words in her hand and stood up to greet him.
As soon as he saw Xiao Yi in a good mood, he knew that his business must be done... I don't know who is unlucky today. The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and she had to admit that she was really badly taught by Xiao Yi, and she was a little gloating about misfortune.
Xiao Yi pulled Nangong Yue to sit down with a smile, and winked at her, "Stinky girl, guess who I 'coincidentally' met when I went out just now?"
Nangong Yue thought for a while, then honestly shook her head.
Xiao Yi stretched out his right hand and rubbed Nangong Yue's tender cheek, and said mysteriously, "I met my uncle."
Uncle... Nangong Yue blinked, isn't that Mrs. Qiao's husband.
Following that, Xiao Yi told about the "random encounter" with Qiao Xingyao when he and a group of younger brothers were walking on the street, so that Nangong Yue had no choice but to cry of sympathy for Mrs. Qiao. Mrs. Qiao has not been able to get any advantage here, and seeing Xiao Yi give her such a big gift tonight, I am afraid she will be so angry that her life will be short for a few years.
Hey--
Nangong Yue sighed silently in her heart, and based on her own repeated experience and lessons, she had already come to a profound conclusion: offending A Yi will not end well, but there are still many people who are ignorant of life and death...
"Stinky girl..." Xiao Yi stretched out his five fingers and shook it in front of Nangong Yue's somewhat divergent eyes, and said with accusing eyes, "I am by your side, you are actually distracted!"
Nangong Yue rolled her eyes, clasped her fists heroically, and said with a smile, "Xiongtai is well versed in the way of eye for tooth and eye for eye, I admire it!"
Xiao Yi lifted his chin proudly, and squinted at Nangong Yue, those arrogant eyes seemed to say, is this how you show your respect?
Fearing that she didn't understand, he pointed to his cheek impolitely.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, but she still kissed him on the cheek cooperatively.
The corners of his mouth were raised even higher, and he smiled brightly like a summer flower. The smile that came from his heart could not help but infected Nangong Yue, and he subconsciously choked the smile at the corner of his mouth.
For a moment, he was stunned!
Nangong Yue quickly backed away, her pretty little face was dyed with a blush, and her eyes were full of water, like a delicate flower waiting to bloom...
Xiao Yi's eyes instantly burst into flames, making Nangong Yue even more embarrassed.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the house: "Master Shizi, Concubine Shizi, the prince sent someone to invite the two of you to go to the outer study." After a pause, Que'er added: "My servant heard that Qiao's house was just now. The aunt's aunt sent Hu mama to come to look for the prince..."
Xiao Yi calmed down as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head.
Thinking about it, I also know that Mrs. Qiao is sending Mammy Hu to complain to King Zhennan.
There was a sneer on Xiao Yi's lips. Since he did it, he was already mentally prepared for his aunt to do this.
Nangong Yue pulled his sleeve and looked at him with a smile.
The coldness on Xiao Yi's body quietly dissipated, and he turned to hold her hand with a smile on his face.
The two dawdled for a while, and then they dressed up and went from Bixiaotang to the palace.
King Zhennan was waiting for them in the study room in the outer courtyard. After waiting for a long time, the unfilial son arrived late.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue saluted him as if nothing had happened, "I have seen the father."
As soon as King Zhennan saw Xiao Yi, he frowned, and was about to reprimand, when Xiao Yi took the first step and said: "...Father, my son met his uncle on the road today, so I feel sorry for him. Hey— "
King Zhennan was slightly startled. His son seemed to be at odds with him since he was a child, and he would quarrel as soon as they met. He had never had such a homely opening remark as now.
Just when King Zhennan didn't know whether to continue scolding, he heard Xiao Yi say: "Father, you also know that my uncle is a good-natured, honest and honest person, otherwise my aunt would not insist on marrying him back then. I met him. But today, when I met him, my uncle was really haggard, and my son couldn't help but ask a few questions before he knew...hey."
King Zhennan still talks with this brother-in-law on weekdays. Hearing Xiao Yi's words at this moment, he can't help but get worried and ask, "What's wrong with your uncle? But you're not feeling well?"
"Uncle has lived in Luoyue City by himself for these years, and separated from his aunt. It's really not easy. No one takes care of his clothing, food, housing, and transportation. But he is busy with official business all day and doesn't take care of his body. On the side of the road, a girl was fortunately rescued and asked for a doctor and medicine for him, which saved the danger." After speaking, Xiao Yi sighed again in fear, "It's just that the girl left gracefully without waiting for her uncle to thank him. , let my uncle want to repay the kindness without repaying it." At this point, Xiao Yi deliberately paused and asked, "Father, do you think this is a strange woman who does not ask for retribution?"
King Zhennan nodded thoughtfully and agreed, "It's indeed a strange woman."
"Later, when my uncle and his colleagues went to Baihualou for an entertainment, he met this girl again. It turned out that she was a court lady of Baihualou. After asking, she found out that her parents died young, and her uncle and aunt were cruel. He didn't want to take care of the orphan girl, so he sold her. Uncle couldn't bear the benefactor to live in such a place and suffer, so he redeemed the benefactor and set up a house for her to settle in, which was considered a repayment of his kindness. . . . Since then, I have made clothes for my uncle from time to time, cooked some small dishes, and greeted each other. After going back and forth, they got to know each other. It’s just that my uncle was worried that I would feel sorry for my aunt, so I never brought anyone back to the house. ."
King Zhennan was fascinated, nodded from time to time, and the anger on his face disappeared at some point.
"So, when my uncle told his son about it, the son immediately said that his aunt is definitely not a person who can't tolerate people. Aunt is usually far away in Li County, so there must be someone here to take care of you. Aunt is so virtuous and knows about it. I'm afraid it's too late to be happy, how can I blame my uncle! My uncle thought about it and thought it was right, so he decided to take the girl back to the mansion, and his son just took them on the way." Xiao Yi said cheerfully, "Uncle also said that he would invite us to drink a cup of concubine wine in a few days. Father, do you think your son should prepare some gifts?"
King Zhennan stroked his beard and agreed: "Although it is a concubine, that girl and your uncle can be regarded as seeing the truth in adversity, and you should really back up the generous gift."
"Father, you are very right!" Xiao Yi nodded slightly and asked again, "By the way, father, is there anything you asked your son and daughter-in-law to come over?"
King Zhennan finally remembered his original intention.
Fang Cai's sister sent someone to complain to him that Xiao Yi gave Qiao Xingyao a woman. At that time, he was really furious. This son, who is always a good student, always loves to learn these crooked ways. This is to win over his generals and hit his mind. Brother-in-law Qiao Xingyao is gone? ! It's really courageous, I can't say that it was instigated by that Nangong clan again. The king of Zhennan was so angry that he directly called the two of them over and planned to give them a good reprimand. Unexpectedly, there was something else inside.
Hey, my eldest sister is too quick-tempered, and I don't know how to ask clearly, it's obviously an elegant thing!
Thinking of this, King Zhennan was no longer angry, and he smiled at Xiao Yi rarely and said, "It's okay, your aunt came over today and brought some lychees, and asked you to come and bring a few baskets back."
Xiao Yi was fluent in kindness, "Thank you, Father, King."
After talking for a while, King Zhennan waved them away.
Although the southern border in May is already very hot, there is still a hint of coolness at night, and the cool breeze caresses the face, which is very refreshing and comfortable.
Xiao Yi took Nangong Yue's hand, walked through the garden, and walked in the direction of Bixiaotang.
"Stinky girl, you're really amazing!" Xiao Yile said unbearably.
Nangong Yue's brows and eyes were squinting, "Actually, I want to thank my aunt."
Nangong Yue knew that King Zhennan was a little confused in his dealings with others, but Mrs. Qiao's visit made her feel that she might not only be confused, but rather confused. Otherwise, how could a married auntie easily point fingers at her parents' house for more than ten years.
Nangong Yue never thought of falling out with King Zhennan completely. Although their relationship with King Zhennan became a little stiff after arriving in the southern border, she also thought about trying to save it, at least not as soon as they met. Quarrel.
So, she thought, if she can't make noise, she can try to fool her, and let Xiao Yi try it.
Xiao Yi has a sweet mouth. When she was in the capital, she could easily coax her parents into smiles, but she didn't expect that a random story would really coax King Zhennan?
However, thinking about how Concubine Wei entered the mansion back then, and how the maid in Xiao Fang's room fell into her arms, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand. Maybe it's this story full of loopholes that makes King Zhennan feel real and empathize with Qiao Xingyao?
But no matter what, it's good that there is no quarrel... Maybe, as long as there is no Xiao Fang's provocation, they and Zhennan King can have another way of getting along?
King Zhennan really didn't pursue Qiao Xingyao's concubine at all, and even brought Xiao Yi to the door to drink a glass of wine and give a generous gift when he was still at the concubine banquet.
This signal immediately gave Qiao Xingyao a reassurance, and she was overjoyed, but Madam Qiao was so angry that she almost didn't come back, so she could only reluctantly drink the cup of newcomer tea, and the next day, she rushed to the door angrily. The palace went to find his younger brother. Faced with Mrs. Qiao's questioning, King Zhennan said with a look of course: "eldest sister also said that the wife should be the one who cooks for herself, serves her in-laws, and takes care of the children. It's okay for a man to have a few Jieyu flowers when he is busy with his official business. If the eldest brother-in-law can have a confidante by his side, the eldest sister can feel at ease in Li County, right?"
The words of King Zhennan were passed into Nangong Yue's ears intact. At that time, Nangong Yue was drinking tea and watching the replies from various governments, almost choking on the tea.
She hurriedly covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice, and the corners of her lips couldn't help curving.
Thinking of what my grandfather once said, when the mother-in-law was alive, Mrs. Qiao often sent beautiful maids to King Zhennan, and a large part of the reason for the mother-in-law's dystocia is probably because of her depressed mood. Therefore, even if Uncle Qiao accepts more concubines, Mrs. Qiao has nothing to sympathize with.
"... When Mrs. Qiao left, her face was extremely ugly, and she threatened to never come to our palace again in the future."
Queer spoke in a vivid voice, and the maids who were waiting on the side all pursed their lips and chuckled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Nangong Yue smiled and handed Que'er a cup of tea to moisten her throat, and gave them a box of snacks for them to share later.
Several maids joined in and thanked them, all laughing.
While joking, Nangong Yue had read all the replies at hand.
These replies came from different mansions, and if they replied, they meant that they would come back on the same day as the banquet.
Some mansions sent someone back on the day they sent the post, while others had three or five days passed... and still haven't replied. From this time alone, Nangong Yue was able to know the attitudes of the various prefectures very well.
Compared with the plain pattern posts sent out last time, the replies received so far are less than a quarter. Nangong Yue estimates that by the day of the banquet, she will receive some more. After all, there is definitely more to wait and see than to have made a choice.
Nangong Yue gave Baihui all the posts, and told her to arrange a seat later.
After taking care of these trivial matters and seeing that it was almost time, Nangong Yue got up and went to Yuebi Residence where Xiao Fei lived.
Xiao Fei recently acquired a new painting, and asked her to appreciate it together to identify the authenticity.
She was really too busy yesterday, so she said she would go there today.
From Bixiaotang to the palace, through the garden, is Xiao Fei's Yuebi Residence.
Xiao Fei is happy and quiet, and Yuebi Residence has a somewhat winding path, but today Nangong Yue heard a lively noise coming from the front, and unconsciously slowed down her pace.
If it weren't for the three big characters "Yue Bi Ju" in front of her eyes, Nangong Yue would almost wonder if they had gone to the wrong place.
Nangong Yue and Baihui next to her looked at each other in dismay, and were about to continue to walk forward when they saw a little maid hurriedly came out of the yard and faced Nangong Yue and his party.
When the little maid saw that it was the imperial concubine, she hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted: "I have seen the imperial concubine." She said apologetically, "The girl is still waiting for the servant to pick up the ladder, and the servant will leave first..."
This little girl was only about ten years old, she acted in a hurry, and before the words fell, the person had already run away, and Baihui couldn't help shaking her head when she saw it.
What are you going to do with the ladder?
Nangong Yue felt even more strange in her heart, and stepped up to walk into Yuebi Residence.
It seems that all the maids and wives of Yuebiju have gathered in the front yard, no, not only the slaves, but also Xiao Fei.
A group of people all looked up at the same place, Nangong Yue silently walked a few steps towards Xiao Fei and the others, followed their line of sight, and finally knew the source of the commotion.
An orange-striped kitten was lying tremblingly on the upturned eaves of the roof, its limp body shrunk into a ball, not daring to move at all, but intermittently making a "meow, meow, meow" sound. Louder than a sound.
Xiao Fei was sweating profusely, and said to Taoyao next to him, "Why haven't you brought the ladder?... Forget it, Taoyao, go and bring a chair over here." Xiao Fei said while observing The surrounding environment, muttered to himself, "If I borrow a little force on the chair, I can climb to that tree, and then I can climb to the eaves from that tree..."
The more she talked, the more she thought it was feasible, but she didn't see Taoyao sweating profusely. At this time, a little girl in the yard finally saw Nangongyue and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen Concubine Shizi!"
All the servants in the yard looked at Nangong Yue in unison, and then all of them were short and bowed their knees.
"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Fei showed a trace of embarrassment and guilt. Sister-in-law trusted her so much and gave Xiaoju to her, but she didn't like Xiaoju.
Nangong Yue stepped forward, glanced around and asked, "Sister Fei, what the hell is going on?"
Taoyao hurriedly explained: "Prince Shizi, Xiaobai just jumped on the roof, and Xiaoju followed, and then he couldn't get down..." Taoyao felt a little speechless as she spoke, the cats she'd seen were all With extraordinary skills, one by one flying over the eaves and walking the walls, like a martial arts master, this is the first time I have seen a cat that is timid enough to go up but can't come down.
"Meow-"
Another cat meow came, but it was different from the milky meow of the little yellow cat. Nangong Yue looked up and saw that Xiaobai was squatting on the black tile, barking in a certain direction.
Only then did everyone realize that a gray figure in the air was flying towards this side with its wings spread, and it flew around the little yellow cat twice. It's like coming down.
"Small gray!"
Nangong Yue gave a light reprimand, Xiao Hui finally flapped his wings and flew farther, then stopped on the roof ridge, lightly pecked his feathers twice, looking down at the little yellow cat with arrogant eagle eyes, as if to say, hmph, no wings The guy is really useless.
"Meow!" Xiaobai yelled at Xiao Hui in dissatisfaction, and stretched out his front paws and waved in the air, feeling full of threat.
Seeing that a cat and an eagle were about to quarrel on the roof, Nangong Yue's eyes twitched speechlessly.
At this time, the little maid and another woman who had just gone to move the ladder brought the ladder panting, Xiao Fei hurriedly said: "Quick! Quickly move the ladder..."
"Sister Fei, you don't need to be so troublesome." Nangong Yue hurriedly stopped Xiao Fei, and then gave Baihui a wink beside her.
Baihui immediately understood and said with a smile, "Eldest girl, I have a speciality in the arts, so let the servants come."
Before Xiao Fei could react, she saw Baihui striding forward. After looking around, she jumped lightly. First, she grabbed a thick branch next to her with both arms, and then she jumped easily with a light swing. When he reached the branch, and then climbed up the trunk, the whole person looked at Xiaoju who was squatting on the cornice.
Although Xiaoju was so frightened that the fluff all over his body exploded, but he still recognized Baihui, and he was so soft that Baihui hugged her...
When Xiao Fei and the maids were still worried about how Baihui, who was holding the kitten, would get down, they saw that Baihui had lightly jumped off the branch and landed firmly on the ground with a somersault.
Immediately after, Xiaobai also flexibly came down from the eaves through the tree.
Only then did Xiao Fei's heart settle down, and the maids around them all stared at Baihui in stunned eyes, thinking to themselves: Concubine Shizi is indeed Concubine Shizi, and there is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon beside her! Sister Baihui looks at Siswenwen on weekdays, she has a stable and generous temperament, but she didn't expect her skills to be more powerful than the chivalrous girl in the playbook!
A small disturbance passed, and the maids and wives in the yard were quickly dispersed.
Baihui handed Xiaoju into Xiao Fei's hands, Xiao Fei hugged it gently, flicked it on its forehead, and said softly, "You naughty bastard!"
Xiaoju let out a "meow", her golden cat eyes stared at Xiao Fei innocently, as if she had completely forgotten what happened just now, and the sullen anger in Xiao Fei's eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye from that cute little appearance. exhausted.
Nangong Yue looked at the man and the cat with a smile, and it seemed that they were getting along very well.
"Meow!"
Mao Xiaobai walked to Xiao Fei's side, squatted there and looked up at her. Although he couldn't speak, Xiao Fei miraculously understood his words: Can you give me Xiaoju back?
Xiao Fei leaned over and put Xiaoju on the ground, Xiaobai sniffed at Xiaoju, licked it, and then patted it lightly on the head with one paw, as if reprimanded. Xiaoju made a "meow" obediently, and then the two little ones swaggered away.
Xiao Fei retracted her gaze and looked shyly at Nangong Yue, "Sister-in-law..." At this time, she finally remembered the business of the day, "The painting is hanging in my small study now, and sister-in-law will come in with me to see it. Look."
With that said, the two entered Xiao Fei's small study hand in hand and affectionately.
