1163 Chapter 469

The scorching sun scorched the earth like a huge stove.

The weather was sultry and sultry, but even so, there were still people coming and going at the city gate of Luoyue City, and the tea shops outside the city were full of people.

"This girl, does your child have a fever?" A green-clothed woman who was a helper took a cup of herbal tea from Ye Yili and handed it to a young woman whose dress was covered in patches.

The young woman was holding a two- or three-year-old boy in her arms. His face was flushed, his breathing was rapid, and his lips were white. At first glance, he was sick.

"My little treasure has had a fever since last night, and the fever is getting worse. I will take him to Luoyue City to see the doctor..." The young woman's cheeks, which were tanned by the scorching sun, were filled with worry, and she carefully fed the boy in her arms to drink. Some herbal tea, my heart is very sad, the family can only get a small amount of money, and I don't know if it is enough to see a doctor.

The woman in Tsing Yi gave a high-five and said, "Sister, you are right, hurry up and take the child to the Lujia Medical Center! After entering the city, go straight along Beili Street for a mile and you will find the Lujia Medical Center. …”

The young woman looked at her with a puzzled expression, and the woman in Tsing Yi hurriedly explained the fact that the Lujia Medical Center had given free treatment to the feverish child at the order of the prince's concubine.

The young woman still couldn't believe it, she blinked and asked, "Eldest sister, what you said is true?" How could there be such a good thing?

"Of course it's true. The notice is posted on the notice board behind the city gate!" The woman in Tsing Yi pointed in the direction of the city gate and said, "Sister, the child's fever can be big or small, you should take the child to the doctor quickly. Hall."

"Thank you eldest sister! Thank you eldest sister!" The young woman picked up the child and stood up, leaned over to thank her, then left the tea shop and hurried away.

The woman in green saw the other party's back into the city, and then put the celadon bowl from which the young woman had drank herbal tea into a copper basin filled with wormwood water, and went to wash her hands and face with wormwood.

Afterwards, the woman in Tsing Yi poured another pot of wormwood water and was about to greet Ye Yili when she saw a familiar figure outside the tea shop, and said with a smile, "Miss Ye, your brother is here!"

Brother... Ye Yili hurriedly looked outside the tea shop, and sure enough, brother Ye Yinming was looking at her with a smile outside the tea shop. Although he was only wearing a simple blue robe, it was Yushu Linfeng.

Ye Yili hurriedly greeted her and said in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"

Ye Yinming smiled slightly and said warmly, "I just finished my errand, and I just wanted to come and pick you up and go home with me."

Before Ye Yili spoke, the plump woman in charge of the tea shop smiled again: "Miss Ye, since your brother is here to pick you up, you should go back first. It's almost time anyway."

Ye Yili thanked the other party, took off her apron again, and was about to leave when she heard the woman in blue just say, "Miss Ye, come over and wash your face and hands with wormwood water before you leave."

Ye Yili's beautiful face stiffened for a moment, but the other party agreed after all because of good intentions. She washed her face and hands, wiped her cheeks with a white towel, and then said goodbye to the women working in the tea shop.

The two brothers and sisters walked side by side towards the city gate, and Ye Yili could faintly hear the women working in the tea shop in the back talking about her brother, saying that Young Master Ye does not need to be educated in Qingmao Academy; Talented, the future will definitely be extraordinary; and also said that Miss Ye is also blessed...

Ye Yili couldn't help but slightly curled her lips, her elder brother was naturally a dragon and a phoenix in the world. In the future, when her elder brother was named on the Golden List, who would dare to look down on their siblings!

After entering the city gate, Ye Yinming asked about what happened just now: "Sister, is there any infectious disease in the city recently?" Otherwise, why would the woman specially greet her sister to wash her face and hands with wormwood water.

Ye Yili's face was as deep as water, and her voice was slightly cold: "Recently, some children have suffered from seven-day rash..."

"Seven-day rash?"

Ye Yili nodded and explained the ins and outs of the seven-day rash, including the fact that the first concubine Nangong Yue ordered the Lujia Medical Center in the city to treat children with fever for free.

At the same time as she spoke, Ye Yili's eyes showed scrupulous disapproval. Although it is said that the free consultation of Nangong Yueling Medical Center is a good thing that is beneficial to the people, but the mentality of the other party has to be considered.

Ye Yili said indifferently: "Brother, controlling the epidemic should always be a matter of the government, and the concubine insisted that she would come forward by herself, it's really..." There is a suspicion of making a name for yourself.

"Sister said yes." Ye Yinming agreed, thinking of Bixiaotang's "a thousand gold buying bones", a violent ups and downs occurred in his heart. From the daughter buying bones to today's free clinic, the prince concubine is just a deceiver!

However, that grandfather is not much better...

Ye Yinming couldn't help thinking of all the things he had heard when he was in the capital, and said coldly: "Although Xiao Shizi has great military achievements, he is arrogant and domineering." He sighed and shook his head, "This family of generals is really rough. Speaking of which, Miss Xiao is outstanding in her studies, she is good and not known to others, she really doesn't look like a child of a general's family..." It's true that she is out of the mud and not stained!

Saying that, Ye Yinming's eyes showed some admiration. After meeting him by chance at the bookstore, he would never forget Miss Xiao, but unfortunately he never got the chance to see her again...

Ye Yili also felt the same as what Ye Yinming said. The tea shop outside the city was set up by Xiao Fei. Before the imperial concubine intervened, no one in Luoyue City knew who the owner of this tea shop was. Xiao Fei His character is noble and pure, and he is also a man who loves literature and dislikes martial arts. He is really a good match for his brother.

It's a pity that Xiao Fei is in a deep boudoir on weekdays and rarely goes out, and it is impossible for her brother to enter or leave the backyard of the palace, so that the two have not had a chance to see each other until now. If Xiao Fei saw his brother's talent, he would definitely be moved by his brother.

Opportunity, just one more chance!

and many more! Ye Yili's brows moved and she thought of something. A few days ago, she accidentally heard a few scholars drinking herbal tea in the tea shop mention that there will be a show after a while.

Maybe it works...

The more Ye Yili thought about it, the more excited she became, and she hurriedly said, "Brother, do you know about the show club?"

Ye Yinming was stunned and nodded.

Wangdu and Jiangnan are fond of writing. From time to time, literati and scholars will gather together to hold large and small poetry gatherings, discuss the past and the present, and express their feelings. If you are lucky, you may become famous and appreciated by nobles; There are many martial artists and few literati, and this show will attract attention in Luoyue City, which will give students the opportunity to show their talents.

Huanxiuhui... Ye Yinming quickly understood what his sister meant, and couldn't help but feel happy on his face. There are not only a group of students and scholars and scholars at the exhibition meeting, but also the families of well-known girls from various prefectures in Luoyue City will also come to the exhibition meeting to see the talents who are full of knowledge and skills. With Xiao Feixiwen's temperament, she will definitely go to the show, so wouldn't she have the opportunity to express her mind directly in front of her and let her see her talent!

But soon, Ye Yinming thought of something again, lowered his shoulders in frustration, and sighed: "Sister, although I admit that I will never lose to others, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to this show..." See you Ye Yili's eyes showed anxiety, Ye Yinming raised his hand and motioned her to wait for him to finish, "Sister, listen to me, I'm afraid you don't know, this show will be a biennial event in Luo Yue City, naturally Not everyone can go. Those sons of noble families will naturally receive invitations to the show; but if ordinary students want to participate in the show, they need to be famous, and they need a person with status. His bailout..." He was just a commoner, who could he ask to bail him? !

Ye Yili's face showed indignation, and she bit her lower lip unwillingly. Her brother is so talented, does he really have to give up a great opportunity that might kill two birds with one stone? !

No, there must be a way!

Ye Yili half lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment... She quickly made up her mind again, a gentle smile overflowed her face again, looked up at her elder brother eagerly, and said, "Brother, you are famous, you only need people to do it. You are your guarantee. Since I taught the five girls in the palace, Concubine Wei has always been kind to me. I can mention it with Concubine Wei, and Concubine Wei will ask the lord to be the guarantee..." The elder brother naturally said You can justifiably participate in the show and meet Miss Xiao.

Let my sister come forward to beg for protection of the side concubine... Ye Yinming hesitated for a moment, wouldn't that make his sister humbly and beg others?

There was a flash of unbearableness in Ye Yinming's eyes, and he said, "Sister, or..." Forget it?

"Brother!" Ye Yili grabbed her brother's sleeve and looked at him with clear eyes, "With your talent, brother, you will definitely shine at the show!"

Ye Yinming was stunned by Ye Yili's firm eyes. After a while, he finally nodded slowly, swearing in his heart: He will definitely let his sister live a good life!

...

When it comes to promoting the show, it is a major event that no one knows about in Luoyue City, and it has recently become the focus of heated discussions in the city.

Unlike several cities located on the southeastern border, which are in a state of anxiety, even if the battle with Nanliang has not yet been won or lost, Luoyue City has already returned to normal after the initial panic.

Maybe it's because Huiling City is still far from here and can't feel the smoke of gunpowder, maybe it's because they believe in the bravery of the prince.

However, for Nangong Yue, who had just arrived, the so-called "show club" was really unfamiliar.

It wasn't until a few days later that a golden cloud pattern post was sent to Nangong Yue that Nangong Yue heard the name for the first time.

Seeing the post, Xiao Fei's little face couldn't hide her excitement, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's Zanxiuhui."

Nangong Yue had a puzzled look on her face, "Exhibition Club?"

She reached out to take the post, and was about to open it when she heard a "meow", Mao Xiaobai came out of nowhere, squatted on the ground, raised her fluffy head, and stared at the mandarin ducks with golden and blue eyes. Da Da looked at Nangong Yue suspiciously, as if asking, what are you looking at?

Nangong Yue didn't even need to show her eyes, Thrush already understood her intentions, picked up Xiao Bai and put it on her knees.

Xiao Fei felt a little itchy for a while, leaned over and stroked Xiao Bai's back, finally remembering that Nangong Yue had only arrived in Nangong Yue a few months ago, thinking that she didn't know about Huan Xiuhui, so she explained, "Sister-in-law. , the show will be held by Wanmu Academy..."

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, "I remember that Wanmu Academy is one of the three major academies in southern Xinjiang?"

There are three major academies in southern Xinjiang. Apart from Qingmao Academy and Ninghe Academy, the last one is the Wanmu Academy. Among them, Wanmu Academy is the most extensive and largest in scale. The repair of the academy is not cheap, so you can come to this academy to study. The students are basically the children of rich or noble families.

However, even so, not everyone can enter. For example, a mediocre sack like Fang Shilei, even if he has a million family wealth, Wanmu Academy will not accept it.

Seeing Xiao Fei looking at Xiao Bai eagerly, Nangong Yue simply sent Xiao Bai to Xiao Fei's arms.

Xiao Fei hugged Xiaobai, scratching its chin gently, and replied: "Sister-in-law, it is this academy. The show will be held every two years, and the mountain chief of Wanmu Academy will open it on this day. In a few halls, many original orphans of famous masters of the past dynasties are on display. These original orphans are either collected by the academy, or voluntarily exhibited by other mansions. I heard that Tang inkstone will also be exhibited at this exhibition. "Fishing the Cold River Snow Alone"." As she spoke, Xiao Fei's eyes shone brightly, and she was obviously impatient to see how excited she was.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to go together?" Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue expectantly.

Anyone can go to the Show Club, they need to get a post from Wanmu Academy. Of course, in the identity of Zhennan Wangfu, it is absolutely impossible to miss this post. In previous years, similar posts would naturally be sent to the main courtyard for Xiao Fang, but now, they are sent directly to Bixiaotang.

Xiao Fei was in high spirits, but it was not only the female family members who would come that day. She was a girl who had not left the cabinet, and she still needed to be accompanied by an elder when she went to similar occasions.

Seeing Xiao Fei's twinkling eyes, Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Sister Fei, then let's go together!"

"Sister-in-law," Xiao Fei smiled happily, a beautiful smile blooming on her little face, "Then we made an agreement!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she made another "mi woo" sound, a soft and coquettish voice, not the same as Xiao Bai's cry. The chubby orange cat stuck out its round head from outside the threshold and looked at Xiao Fei, no, or rather, Xiao Bai on Xiao Fei's knee.

Xiao Bai patted Xiao Fei's hand, then stood up and stretched lazily, before landing lightly on the ground. It walked out of the house slowly, made a "meow" at Xiaoju, and then walked away arrogantly, Xiaoju obediently followed behind it, as if its most loyal follower, the two little guys were lovely The master and servant who looked like a room could not help but laugh.

Relying on their identities, these two little guys are extremely powerful in this Zhennan palace. They strutting back and forth between Yuebiju and Bixiaotang every day. The whole palace has become their territory. They are all offered as masters, and no one dares to neglect them.

Watching the two little guys walk away, Xiao Fei suddenly remembered the topic they were talking about, and continued: "...In addition to displaying some unique calligraphy and paintings at the show, Wanmu Academy will also arrange some interesting things every time. The new activities, such as the last time Dou Lan; the last time to fight Baicao in the mode of winding water and flowing water; another year, I held an antique appreciation, that time, a girl Li picked out a pile of good and bad collections. I came across a misunderstood antique from the previous dynasty—the snuff bottle, which was said to be a tribute from hundreds of years ago, and it was rumored to be a good talk in the show…”

Xiao Fei spoke eloquently, and Nangong Yue also listened with relish, echoing from time to time, she originally planned to accompany Xiao Fei to see, but now even she herself is somewhat interested.

Xiao Fei talked to Nangong Yue with great interest for half an hour, until the two stewards came to Nangong Yue to ask for the right card, and Xiao Fei wisely resigned.

After Nangongyue finished dealing with the trivial matters, another stick of incense time passed. Baihui was about to ask her if she wanted to rest for a while. At this time, Thrush came to report that Concubine Wei was here.

Nangong Yue was slightly surprised, Concubine Wei always "goes to the Three Treasures Hall without incident", could it be that Xiao Rongyu is sick again?

It's just that Xiao Rongyu's seven-day rash has already reached the seventh day, and the rash on her body has already faded, so there should be no more changes.

Queer on the side thought of something, and said: "Princess Shizi, Concubine Wei came to you, maybe it has something to do with Miss Ye... The servant just heard that Miss Ye went to Yulinju early this morning to ask for a meeting. Concubine Wei."

Ye Yili is here? Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, now she doesn't need to take the female red class, what is she doing here?

Whether it's for Ye Yili or not, since the Wei family is here, Nangong Yue didn't bother to guess, and said directly, "Go and invite Concubine Wei to come in."

Nangong Yue sorted out her clothes and went to the main room.

Wei, who was dressed in light blue and tangled with magnolias and beiges, was always elegant and calm. When he saw Nangong Yue coming, he put down the tea cup in his hand.

After the two greeted each other, they both sat down again.

Wei looked a little weak as a person, but she always spoke and did things very easily, and she didn't go around in circles, so she said directly: "Prince Concubine, the concubine took the liberty to come here because of that lady Ye."

Hearing this, Thrush couldn't help but glanced at Que'er quietly, expressing her respect for Que'er with her eyes: Sister Que'er really has a tendency to change her mind?

Que'er proudly puffed out her chest in the eyes of Thrush's reverence, and her expression seemed to say, "I know what I know!"

Nangong Yue looked at Wei shi quietly, waiting for the other party to speak.

Wei Shi paused, stared at Nangong Yue's expression, and continued, "Miss Ye came to the palace early this morning to find a concubine, and said that she would like to ask her to help and talk to the prince, to protect her brother, so that Ye The son is participating in this year's promotion show."

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why did Concubine Side tell me about this?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Wei's eyes, but finally she said decisively: "My concubine wants Miss Ye to enter the palace to serve the prince."

Wei Shi's words were amazing, Thrush almost exclaimed, and even Que'er couldn't hide her surprise.

Nangong Yue's expression was light, without a trace of surprise, and she couldn't see her likes and dislikes, and said calmly, "Concubine Wei, I'm a daughter-in-law, so how can I interfere in the affairs of the father's house."

Wei Shi was stunned for a while, followed by a slight smile, stood up gracefully, and blessed her body and said, "What Concubine Shizi said was that the concubine was reckless. Then the concubine will not disturb the concubine!"

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, "Concubine Wei, go well. Thrush your eyebrows and see off the guest."

Wei Shi came and went quickly, anyway, the purpose of her trip has been achieved!

The reason why Wei came to Bixiaotang was just to test Nangongyue's attitude.

After all, Mrs. Wei had already decided that she would follow the lead of the eldest son. Although the prince concubine is a daughter-in-law, whether the prince takes a concubine or not is not only whether there will be another woman in the prince's backyard, but also may affect the inheritance of the title and the inheritance of the family property. Although Wei Shi just wanted Ye Yili to enter the house and would never let her have a chance to get pregnant, but Concubine Shi didn't know that if she doubted her intentions because of this, it would not be worth the loss for Wei Shi...

Therefore, Mrs. Wei had already made a plan. If Concubine Shi was unhappy in the slightest, she would stop immediately and not bother with Ye Yili.

It's just that Wei Shi never expected that Concubine Shizi didn't put Ye Yili in her eyes at all.

Wei Shi walked out of the room with a skirt and a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Yili is a bit pretentious, and Wei Shi has long felt that she is dissatisfied with Bixiaotang from the tone and attitude of the other party. Wei Shi also made a special investigation later, only to know that Ye Yili had had such a disagreement with the princess. Before coming, Wei Shi thought that the Concubine Shi would either disapprove, or that she would actually use her own strength to attack Ye Yili, but she never expected that Concubine Shi would not care at all.

Too!

What kind of identity is the prince concubine, the illustrious daughter of the famous Nangong family, the dignified princess, in this southern border, is the most honorable woman, and Ye Yili is just a poor and down-to-earth woman, and the prince and concubine that is the cloud Mud difference.

How can people put ants in their eyes!

To put it another way, what Young Lady Ye did and did in front of the imperial concubine might be as ridiculous as a clown jumping on a beam.

This trip didn't come in vain, Wei Shi is now relieved, since the princess doesn't care at all, then she can do it with confidence and boldness!

Wei Shi's ability to get to this point is enough to prove that she is a person who is good at seizing opportunities.

So that day, she successfully invited Zhennan King to her yard.

King Zhennan first visited Xiao Rongyu, who had just recovered from her illness, and played with her for a while, and then went to her house with Wei's company.

Wei ordered someone to serve a bowl of chilled mung bean soup, and said gently, "The weather is hot, Wang Ye, drink a bowl of mung bean soup to cool off the heat. This is made by the concubine himself."

King Zhennan was very useful, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Weier, you should also pay attention to your body, be careful of the heat."

Wei Shi smiled and blessed again: "Don't worry, my lord, my concubine will save you." After speaking, she walked behind King Zhennan, squeezed his shoulders gently, and massaged him to relieve his fatigue.

King Zhennan was so at ease, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes, and he heard Wei Shi softly say behind him: "My concubine saw Miss Ye today, so I quietly probed for the prince..."

King Zhennan was overjoyed, and his scattered spirit suddenly concentrated, "How do you say it?"

Wei's voice was a little hesitant, but she continued, "Miss Ye didn't answer the concubine directly, but only said that she hoped the concubine would do two favors."

help? ! King Zhennan frowned, "What are you busy with?"

A sharp light flashed in Mrs Wei's eyes, but her expression remained gentle, she said slowly, "Miss Ye said that she would like to ask the lord to protect her elder brother, Young Master Ye, to participate in the show, and...she, she wants to Please help me to find out the questions for this year's show."

The first request that King Zhennan can still understand, for him, is just a little effort, but when he heard the second request, his face was not very good.

Although Wei Shi couldn't see his face, he could clearly feel his shoulders stiff. After a while, he heard him say, "This king will ask the mountain chief to ask tomorrow." The voice was gone. Fang Cai's interest seemed a little faint.

The corners of Wei's lips were slightly raised, and she said, "Then the concubine told the good news to Miss Ye."

Ye Yili did come to her today, but she just asked Zhennan King to vouch for her brother instead of asking for questions.

It is not unreasonable for Mrs. Wei to gain a firm foothold in Zhennan Wangfu with such an identity, and she is deeply favored. She knows Zhennan Wang too well. Zhennan Wang likes beautiful women, but the only person who can really make him take it to heart. There is that kind of woman who is "like a white lotus with a noble character", not someone who doesn't know how high the sky is because of his favor...

For King Zhennan, it was not difficult to ask a question from the chief of the mountain. After all, it was not an imperial examination, but a small competition. In order to please the beauty, King Zhennan even took the initiative to ask the mountain chief for questions. But the premise is... on their own initiative and not as a quid pro quo!

However, even though King Zhennan was already unhappy with Ye Yili's character at this time, he was still interested in beauties. Mrs. Wei believed that he would give himself the topic soon, and after that...

Wei Shi couldn't help looking forward to the show.
