"Miss Xiao."
The girls on the second floor stepped forward to greet Xiao Fei.
They looked at Nangong Yue hesitantly. Although they all guessed in their hearts that this young lady was probably the one in the rumors, but since she didn't confess her identity, they didn't dare to rush forward. Who knows what this person's temperament is, if the family likes to play private interviews through micro-services, and is too attentive, maybe they will be disliked.
So they had to pretend they didn't know.
Xiao Fei nodded politely to them, her temperament was cold, and she was not enthusiastic about these girls, she just responded indifferently.
Her indifference did not stop those girls who wanted to talk to her. A girl in a scarlet dress said shyly, "So, Mrs. Xiao is also a frequent visitor to Huanxi Pavilion, but unfortunately I haven't met Xiao when I come here on weekdays. The big girl."
Another girl also leaned in and said, "I have heard for a long time that Miss Xiao has an extraordinary talent. She is also called the Southern Border Shuangshu with Miss Qiao. Today, I can see that Miss Xiao really has an extraordinary temperament."
Although Xiao Fei was not conferred, she was the eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace, and she was as noble as a princess in this southern border.
Seeing that the women who were originally around him were all approaching Xiao Fei like cats smelling fishy, Qiao Ruolan's face was sinking like water, and her eyes were as deep as a black pool.
Again! Every time!
It is said that their cousins are Nanjiang Shuangshu, but in fact, as long as she and Xiao Fei appear on the same occasion, Xiao Fei will always be the center of attention, and it is clear that she is better than Xiao Fei in terms of appearance and talent! In the end, it's just that Xiao Fei's identity is higher than his own, so he just presses him!
Qiao Ruolan took a deep breath, and with a dignified smile on her face, she said warmly, "Cousin Fei, I think it's very interesting for Miss Qin and Miss Hua to compete here, why don't we sisters come and learn from each other, what do you think? How?" She squinted at Xiao Fei, although her expression was not obvious, but her eyes showed obvious provocation.
Xiao Fei frowned, she didn't mind discussing with others, but today she accompanied her sister-in-law and the others to play. She pondered for a while, then refused directly: "Cousin Lan, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient today."
The smile on Qiao Ruolan's face froze, and her eyes flashed fiercely.
Rejecting himself in front of so many people, this Xiao Fei is clearly looking down on himself!
As before, she was always so defiant! It's just because she is the eldest girl of the palace.
Qiao Ruolan lowered her eyes slightly, covering the coldness in her eyes, and smiled nonchalantly: "If that's the case, then next time I have the opportunity to ask my cousin for advice."
Xiao Fei has never been able to ponder what other people mean. Qiao Ruolan said it was "seeking advice", and she also thought it was "seeking advice", so she nodded slightly without modesty, and said, "It's easy to say."
Qiao Ruolan's lips pursed into a line.
Xiao Fei didn't care about her, but turned to Nangong Yue and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to take a look?"
From just now until now, Nangong Yue seemed to carelessly just admired the paintings, but in fact, all the girls on the second floor were talking and behaving in her eyes.
Nangongyue arrived for the first time and didn't know much about the various provinces in the southern border, but the girls' every move, every word and deed can often reflect the family education and character of a family, and it also made her feel in her heart before the banquet in Bixiaotang. It can be considered a bottom.
At this time, seeing that the girls were hesitating whether to come up and say hello to him, Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said to Xiao Fei, "Let's go back to the third floor." Although Dou Hua has not yet decided the winner, but now they are here, Obviously this fight can't continue.
Listening to Xiao Fei calling the little lady a sister-in-law, there was no doubt in the hearts of those girls, it really was that one!
Others were secretly guessing about Han Qixia's identity, especially the girl Qin, who glared at Han Qixia several times angrily, thinking: I don't know what girl from which government is going to play in plain clothes! It caused me to leave a bad impression in the hearts of the imperial concubine and the eldest girl!
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei went up to the third floor again, leaving only the girls on the second floor looking at their backs with complicated eyes.
Some girls regret that they were too hesitant and didn't take the opportunity to discuss with the Concubine Shizi. Even if the Concubine Shizi came to visit Weifu privately, it would not be wrong to call "Young Madam" by herself... It's just that it happened too much. Suddenly, I was completely unprepared!
The lady in Cuiyi served more attentively, and took them to a small hall on the third floor to appreciate calligraphy and painting.
Some of these paintings and calligraphy belong to Mrs. Jiang, some are the calligraphy and paintings left by many girls and wives over the years, and some are some of the paintings and calligraphy collected by Mrs. Jiang. For an hour, I still felt unfulfilled.
The four of them went back to their private seats to have some lunch, and continued to gossip about tea and gossip until the sun went down, and they got into the carriage and left the Huanxi Pavilion.
On the carriage, Han Qixia looked at the two taels of silver in her hand, thoughtfully.
Although Fu Yunyan asked Han Qixia to treat guests as a joke before, it was just a joke. How could Han Qixia really pay for the money? In the end, Nangong Yue pretended to be rich and powerful and asked Baihui to give the money.
Seeing that Han Qixia kept looking at the two taels of silver, Fu Yunyan couldn't help but tease: "Cousin Xia, are you still not willing to spend these two taels of silver?"
Han Qixia raised her head and said solemnly, "Not bad."
Fu Yunyan was stunned, Han Qixia smiled, and said again: "Do you still remember the aunt who was crushed on her shoulder today?... Her family is very poor, and she usually helps people with laundry and supplements, but now she I hurt my shoulder, and I'm afraid I won't be able to work for nearly two months. So I wondered if I should buy something for their family."
Nangong Yue thought for a while and reminded: "Sister Xia, your thoughts are very good, but there is a saying: 'Dou Mian, Sheng Mi Chou', two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to spend a year ."
The other three girls were also thoughtful, Xiao Fei suggested: "Sister Xia, why don't you buy some rice noodles for their family?"
This rice noodle is always needed by every household.
Han Qixia's eyes lit up, she nodded vigorously and said, "Sister Fei, your suggestion is good."
Nangong Yue looked at Fu Yunyan with a smile, Xiao Fei has really improved a lot since he started the herbal tea shop, and got caught up in fireworks...
So, Baihui ordered the groom to divert again, and went to the rice store to buy a bag of white rice before sending Han Qixia back.
The carriage continued to move forward, this time the destination was Zhennan Wangfu.
It wasn't until Han Qixia was nowhere to be seen that Fu Yunyan lowered the curtain by the window, showing a bit of complexity on her always bright face.
She sighed slightly and said, "Just now, I didn't dare to tell cousin Xia..."
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other, Nangong Yue frowned and said, "Liu Niang, but what happened to Prince Qi's mansion?"
Fu Yunyan nodded: "A few days before my grandmother and I left the capital, the Prince of Qi was married..."
"So soon?" Nangong Yue couldn't help showing surprise.
After careful calculation, the marriage between Prince Qi and the eldest daughter of Ning Guogong's residence should only be scheduled for more than a month, so they are married?
What's more, Han Qixia just "passed away". Even if parents don't need to be filial to their children, no family with some rules will prepare a marriage for her brother-in-law during the new mourning period.
Fu Yunyan snorted coldly and sneered: "What's more anxious is that on the third day after the wedding, I eagerly accepted Princess Qi's maiden's girl as the second wife. Cousins and sisters can be considered as kisses!"
Even if it's a kiss, it's too urgent, what's more, although the second room is a concubine, but it is not an ordinary concubine, plus there is a "cousin girl" identity... Curling the corners of his lips, this Ningguo Gongfu endured even this. It seems that this eldest daughter should not be favored.
Fu Yunyan continued: "I also heard that the Cousin girl lived in the Prince Qi's mansion for some time before the wedding of the Prince of Qi... Now, there is a lot of rumors in this capital, saying that the Cousin girl's belly I can't wait!" This Qi Wangfu is the laughing stock of the capital! Hey, it's alright for Cousin Xia to leave, otherwise, the Qi Palace is so filthy, I'm afraid even Cousin Xia will have a bad reputation!
Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, remembering that Fu Yunyan said that Jiang Yixi was still in charge of the central feeder of Prince Qi's mansion, and asked again, "Could it be that the marriage of Prince Qi's son was also managed by Sister Xi?"
Fu Yunyan nodded again: "Yes, Princess Qi is still there to pick and choose. Sister Xi is worthy of being Sister Xi, and she doesn't pay attention at all. The marriage is done beautifully."
Nangong Yue also believes that Jiang Yixi will be able to handle it, but the prince of Qi is already married, and the mid-feeder will have to be handed over to the prince and concubine of Qi sooner or later, and the cousin and aunt in the house will not be safe if you want to come... …These rubbish things make a headache just thinking about them.
Seemingly seeing Nangong Yue's thoughts, Fu Yunyan smiled and said, "Cousin Jun is still smart. On the second day of the prince's wedding, he went to the emperor to invite his family to go out. The emperor hasn't agreed yet, but my grandmother said it. The emperor should agree."
The emperor also knew a lot about the things that happened in Prince Qi's mansion, but Prince Qi was always his brother. As long as it didn't involve rebellion, the emperor would not take it lightly. But the emperor wanted to reuse Han Huaijun, his nephew, and naturally he couldn't let Princess Qi abuse the couple.
Since the family can't be separated, it's a good idea to go out. A smile flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes. It was easy to obtain priceless treasures, and it was rare to have a lover. Jiang Yixi was indeed married to the right person!
At this time, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and the voice of the doorman came from outside the carriage, and they arrived home.
The carriage quickly entered the gate of East Street. The three of Nangong Yue got off the carriage, and Thrush greeted them. After bowing their knees and salute, they reported, "Prince Prince, the eldest girl of the Qiao family is here. She said she is here to greet you, maid, please. She is sitting in the side hall."
Nangong Yue was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Miss Qiao to come to the door so soon after leaving Huanxi Pavilion.
This is quite interesting...
Seeing that she had guests, Fu Yunyan went back to the temporary guest house by herself.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei went directly to the side hall.
Qiao Ruolan had been waiting in the side hall for nearly an hour. Seeing that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei finally arrived late, she stood up with a smile.
When Nangong Yue was seated on the throne, she stepped forward, blessed herself, and said, "Laner has seen her cousin." Then she and Xiao Fei also met.
"Cousin is more polite." Nangong Yue nodded and said with a smile, "I met my cousin today, and I was in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift. If my cousin doesn't dislike it, I will give this bracelet to my cousin." After speaking, she took it off. A gold-encrusted jade bracelet on his wrist.
Qiao Ruolan was blessed again, thanked Nangong Yue, took the bracelet with both hands, handed it to the maid, and said, "Today in Huanxi Pavilion, Lan'er sees her cousin in plain clothes, presumably because she doesn't want to reveal her identity, So I didn't come forward to salute, and I hope my cousin won't take offense."
"Cousin, don't mind." Nangong Yue smiled kindly.
This cousin is good at speaking, no matter what she thinks in her heart, at least she has done much better on the surface than her mother, Mrs. Qiao.
After a few greetings, Qiao Ruolan said to Xiao Fei: "Cousin Fei, I haven't been to Luoyue City for a long time, and I haven't said goodbye to my aunt. A few days ago, I heard my mother say that my aunt was sick, so I wanted to come over to visit, I'm afraid of disturbing my aunt's rest. I wonder if my aunt is feeling better these days?"
The matter of Xiao Fang's slippage was concealed from the outside world. Others only knew that she was seriously ill and bedridden, but Xiao Fei, as a daughter, still knew the inside story. It's not convenient for a girl who hasn't left the cabinet to speak out, so she can only say vaguely: "Mother is getting better, but the doctor said that it will take some time to recuperate."
Qiao Ruolan frowned worriedly, and said, "Then I should go and say hello to my aunt."
Xiao Fei got up and said, "Cousin Lan, I'll go with you to greet my mother."
Qiao Ruolan left with Xiao Fei. After leaving the side hall, she quickly looked back at Nangong Yue, turned her head back thoughtfully, and said to herself: My aunt is sick on the couch, and the concubine is a daughter-in-law, so I can't serve her. It's not right to be sick, so I didn't even go with them to say goodbye... It seems that my mother is right, this prince concubine is very unfilial! Just like her cousin!
Thinking of the recent chaos at home because of the prince's cousin, Qiao Ruolan couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart, but her face remained silent.
Nangong Yue didn't care what Qiao Ruolan thought about her, she went back to her yard, washed and changed clothes.
Xiao Yi had already sent someone to inform him that he would not be back for dinner today, so Nangong Yue did not wait for him, and accompanies Mr. Fang to dinner with Fu Yunyan.
When Liu Shaotou was on the moon, Xiao Yi finally came back in a hurry, still holding a big mahogany box in his arms, and his face was full of joy. The maids immediately left the inner room with interest.
When Nangong Yue saw that he was here to show off, he asked cooperatively, "Ayi, what kind of treasure is in your box?"
Xiao Yi smiled mysteriously, waved to her, and opened the mahogany box.
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up, only to see a wooden repeated crossbow in the box, and dozens of iron arrows in it.
Repeater?
A few days ago, Xiao Yi also said that the continuous crossbow made by the official language will not arrive until the beginning of next month, but I didn't expect it to arrive earlier!
Nangong Yue carefully picked up the repeating crossbow and looked at it carefully.
This repeating crossbow is mainly composed of a crossbow and an arrow box. It is made of wood and bamboo. It is extremely light and easy to hold even by a woman with ordinary arm strength.
Xiao Yi sat down and played with the repeating crossbow, adjusted the strings, put ten iron arrows in the arrow box of the repeating crossbow, and tried the crossbow arms...
Seeing that he was as excited as a little boy who had something in his heart, Nangong Yue couldn't help curving the corners of his mouth, and his eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons with a smile.
"Stinky girl," Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue, his peach blossom eyes shining like stars, "How about we go to the yard to test shoot?"
Nangong Yue was also very curious about the power of this repeated crossbow, and hurriedly responded.
Seeing the masters go out of the inner room hand in hand, Baihui, who was waiting outside, immediately greeted her. When she saw the repeated crossbow in Xiao Yi's hand, she guessed what the master was going to do. While bowing her knees, she asked, "Master Shizi, Princess Shizi, do you want the servants to disperse the servants in the backyard?"
Thinking that the backyard was fairly empty and clean, Nangong Yue nodded in agreement.
Baihui is very efficient in doing things. While telling Queer and the others to go to the backyard, she also ordered Thrush to put a moon-white cloak over Nangongyue's thin dress... When Xiao Yi and Nangongyue came to the backyard, where It was already empty, only Baihui, Queer and Thrush were left.
"Ayue," Xiao Yi asked Nangong Yue eagerly, holding the crossbow, "Where do you think it's better to shoot?"
Nangong Yue thought about it carefully, and was about to speak when Xiao Yi suddenly frowned, turned his head to look at a camphor tree in front of the right, and said sharply, "Who?!"
The answer to him was silence, and there was no sound.
A cool night breeze blew, and the leaves on the camphor tree made a rustling sound, but Xiao Yi's expression did not relax.
Baihui hurriedly said: "Master Shizi, this slave and maid, go and have a look..."
Xiao Yi raised his hand and walked straight over. At this moment, a black shadow jumped out from the camphor tree and fled towards the fence.
Xiao Yi raised his arms, followed by a few chilling sounds of breaking the air:
"Boo! Hah! Hah..."
Several black arrows shot out densely, like thunder, fast like meteors, like Thrush and Queer, they didn't even know what was going on, they had already heard a shrill scream from the shadow, and then from It fell in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The dull crashing sound of the body falling on the cold and hard bluestone slab made several little girls tremble.
Baihui quickly ran to the man in black who was lying on the ground, only to see a dozen iron arrows stuck on his back like a hedgehog, one of which even penetrated deep into the skull and submerged in the back of his head. , An arrow pierced through the brain, and the blood had already soaked his head, his black clothes, and even the bluestone floor below him.
Baihui didn't need to test the other person's breathing and pulse to be sure that this person was dead. Her gaze paused on the arrow on the back of his head, and she was shocked: the power of this repeating crossbow is really shocking.
Baihui calmed down, then shook her head at Xiao Yi who was striding forward: "Master Shi, he's out of breath."
Xiao Yi didn't even glance at her, passed her directly, returned to Nangong Yue's side, hugged her into his arms, said in a soft voice, "Stinky girl, don't look."
At first sight of a bloody corpse, it is impossible to say that you are not afraid at all, but Nangongyue is not an ordinary girl after all. After the initial panic, she quickly calmed down. At this moment, she felt Xiao Yi's heartbeat, and the last trace The fear disappeared. She put her head in his arms and said with a smile, "Ayi, I'm not afraid."
"Xiao An, clean up this place."
Xiao Yi gave an order casually, hugged Nangong Yue and walked back.
When the man in black appeared, Nangong Yue's two secret guards were already at her side. At this time, Xiao Yi gave an order, Xiao An immediately ordered to dispose of the corpse, and Xiao Ying disappeared again. into the dark.
After returning to the house, Xiao Yi hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a bowl of calming tea for Nangongyue, until he watched her drink the calming tea, and then said: "Stinky girl, I will go to the front yard, I will be back soon, you Rest early."
Nangong Yue knew that he was doing it for the man in black, so she nodded and said, "Go, there's Baihui here, it's alright."
Xiao Yi kissed her cheek and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the inner room, Xiao Yi's face suddenly sank, and the whole person exuded a gloomy aura.
Unexpectedly, his Bixiao Hall turned out to be a place where people can come and go at will... It seems that these guards need to be properly rectified!
Xiao Yi originally wanted to stay alive. As long as people are alive, there are means in the army to let him say who ordered them. Never thought that the power of this repeating crossbow was unexpected.
This is indeed a magic weapon!
Xiao Yi's eyes were burning, as if a bunch of flames were dancing in his eyes.
