Ming and Qing Temple?

King Zhennan frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Nangong Yue said calmly: "Father, when General Tang sent Cousin Lan back that day, some people saw it, and before that, the whole city was looking for a girl... I'm afraid it won't last long. Sending Cousin Lan to the Ming and Qing Temple can also avoid the limelight. What’s more, the Ming and Qing Temple has always been enshrined by the palace, and Cousin Lan can’t suffer much when she goes there. "

Ming and Qing Temple...

King Zhennan was slightly moved, but he was still worried and remained silent.

"Father," Nangong Yue said with some difficulty in speaking, "Today, cousin Lan entered Qingyunwu privately. Although she didn't see him as Marquis Anyi, she was stopped by the people around Marquis Anyi. This matter..."

King Zhennan's heart skipped a beat. Yes, he almost forgot. If he didn't explain this matter, in case An Yihou misunderstood... Maybe he thought he wanted to use his niece to come here. To win him over, if he accidentally penetrates into the emperor again...

The more Wang Zhennan thought, the darker his face became.

Nangong Yue stood with her brows down, it was too much, so she didn't persuade her any more.

After a while, King Zhennan nodded slowly and said, "...Prince Prince, just do what you want."

Nangong Yue bowed her knees and agreed.

Now that the purpose of this trip was achieved, Nangong Yue resigned.

After returning to Bixiaotang, she asked Que'er to pass the order, and fined the two old women who did not guard the door with three months' monthly money and five bamboo boards.

Then, Nangong Yue instructed Baihui to invite someone over tomorrow morning—

Xiao Ni.

Nangong Yue sighed quietly and went to the small study.

So, early the next morning, Xiao Ni, who was confused, was led by Baihui to Nangong Yue's yard.

Xiao Ni is a girl from the second room. She is not close to Nangong Yue on weekdays, but only maintains a polite relationship. She was also a little surprised why Nangong Yue suddenly asked her to come over.

Baihui picked a curtain for Xiao Ni in front of her, Xiao Ni's pace stagnated outside the curtain for a moment, then she calmed down and walked into the eastern room without rushing.

Nangong Yue was sitting on the Arhat bed, wearing a long silver-red robe and pulling loose Zhu'er, her beautiful face appeared more delicate and softer than usual in the morning light.

It was obvious that the other party's expression was calm, but for some reason, Xiao Ni felt a little uneasy in her heart. Although she was the second-in-law's direct daughter, her father was a concubine and passed away early. In this palace, she seemed to be lower than other girls, so she was a little sensitive.

"Sister-in-law." Xiao Ni stepped forward, and Yingying was blessed.

Nangong Yue asked Xiao Ni to sit down with a smile: "Third sister, please sit down."

Nangong Yue was also looking at Xiao Ni. The girl in her golden age was wearing a peach pink butterfly and flower makeup. She didn't put any makeup on her face, so she was radiant enough, but there was a hint of embarrassment between her words and deeds. .

Xiao Ni sat down on a rosewood armchair beside Luohan's bed, and Thrush made tea and snacks.

Xiao Ni straightened her back and asked politely, "I don't know if my sister-in-law called me here, but what's the matter?"

Nangong Yue's clear eyes met Xiao Ni's, and she said slowly: "Third sister, why did you and your cousin Lan go to the small garden to put paper kites yesterday?"

Xiao Ni was stunned and replied, "Cousin Lan suggested it. She said that the small garden had a good view and was the best place to put paper kites. I didn't have anything to worry about, so I went with her."

Yesterday, after the two of them arrived at the small garden, the mother-in-law of the small garden said that Yuanxin Lake was removing duckweed and asked them to go to the back garden to put paper kites, but Qiao Ruolan felt that they were just putting up paper kites anyway, and they did not go boating in Yuanxin Lake. , why is it so troublesome. Xiao Ni thought about it for no reason, so she went in with Qiao Ruolan.

Could it be that my sister-in-law called me here to be unhappy about this?

Xiao Ni lowered her eyes and squeezed the handkerchief in her hand.

She knew that her eldest sister-in-law was strict and strict, and if it was normal, she wouldn't know that the small garden was closed and she would go in, but Cousin Lan was a guest, so she couldn't make Cousin Lan feel that the palace was deliberately neglecting her. What's more, it's just a trivial matter. Sister-in-law must have made a big fuss.

Nangong Yue saw Xiao Ni's expression and knew that the little girl didn't know what was wrong. After she took a sip from the tea cup, she continued to ask: "Since you are putting paper kites in the small garden, what's wrong with your cousin Lan? Will you go to the outer courtyard?"

Xiao Ni couldn't help thinking of Qiao Ruolan's performance at that time, and also vaguely felt a little weird, and replied cautiously: "Later, cousin Lan's paper kite suddenly broke off the line and flew out of the fence. I originally wanted to find someone to help cousin Lan find it. Zhi Yuan, but cousin Lan insists on going by herself..."

Cousin Lan had just left, and the maids Baihui and Thrush also chased after her. After that, Qiao Ruolan never came back, but there was a message from the mother-in-law that Cousin Lan had returned to the house.

Did something happen that you don't know about? !

That's why the sister-in-law asked herself to come over and ask her guilt?

Xiao Ni couldn't help feeling a little wronged: Even if Cousin Lan did something wrong, what does it have to do with her! Her mother taught her sisters to be both honored and disgraced since she was a child, but Cousin Lan's surname is Qiao and her own surname is Xiao, so they are two families.

Xiao Ni is still young, even if her temperament is calmer than that of the second girl, Xiao Rongxuan, she is still a little girl who has nothing to do with it.

Nangong Yue sighed quietly.

As the saying goes, there are no rules and no circles. Since she ordered the small garden to be sealed, Xiao Ni wants to go in and play, and she has to ask her permission first. But come to think of it, the palace used to be evacuated according to rules, Xiao Ni didn't realize this.

Just talking about what happened yesterday, Xiao Ni was tricked but didn't realize it, which made people angry and funny. You must know that Xiao Ni is the girl of the Zhennan Palace. Even if she is a commoner, she is destined to be unable to be alone. She is always so ignorant of world affairs.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and I saw Thrush walked in with an eagle paper kite in hand.

Xiao Ni subconsciously heard the sound and looked at the sound, and at a glance recognized that Zhi Yuan was the one of Qiao Ruolan, and sure enough—

"Prince Prince," Thrush said with a smile, "Biao girl's paper kite has been found. It was found by the old woman in the outer courtyard in Jiang Yuexuan."

"Jiang Yuexuan?" Nangong Yue raised her brows pretending to be puzzled and muttered to herself, "Jiang Yuexuan and Qingyunwu are far apart, why did cousin Lan go to Qingyunwu?"

Qingyunwu? ! Xiao Ni's pupils shrank, recalling all kinds of things from yesterday, her face was pale, and her dark eyes instantly dimmed.

Cousin Lan actually went to Qingyunwu? !

I see! I see!

Cousin Lan didn't care about the third brother's homework at all, all she did was to test the residence of Marquis An Yi, and she performed one good show after another in front of her.

Xiao Ni didn't know whether to be angry or ashamed, her whole body trembled slightly.

It's unreasonable, Qiao Ruolan did such a shameless thing, and even took herself as a guise! ... Sister-in-law shouldn't think that she knew about it, and she even helped Qiao Ruolan, right?

Xiao Ni looked at Nangong Yue uneasily, and saw that the other party's expression was calm, as if she was just chatting with herself.

"Thrush, go and take this paper kite to Qiao's house and deliver it to Cousin Qiao in person. In addition, you can bring a few more wives with you and do what your father ordered yesterday." Nangong Yue said Naturally, it was the matter of sending Qiao Ruolan to the Mingqing Temple.

"Yes, Concubine Shizi." Thrush hugged Zhiyuan and hurried away.

Xiao Ni looked at Nangong Yue anxiously, feeling uneasy.

"Third sister," Nangong Yue said with a smile, "I recently got some new bead flowers. See if you like them, and pick a few back."

While she was talking, Queer came over with a carved mahogany box.

Xiao Ni's high-hanging heart relaxed a little.

Queer opened the box with a smile on his face, only to see that the small box was full of jewels, and there were all kinds of delicate pearl flowers, coral turquoise beeswax pearl flowers, golden dot emerald pearl flowers, butterflies, garnet pearl flowers, and southern pearl flowers. Bead flowers... Xiao Ni has never seen many bead flowers in the southern border, making her dazzled.

Xiao Ni looked at Nangong Yue's face and saw her nodding with a smile at her, so she cautiously picked three bead flowers from the box, then got up and thanked, "Thank you, sister-in-law." As she spoke, a shy expression appeared on her face. smile.

To Xiao Ni's surprise, Nangong Yue didn't talk about yesterday's incident again. After a few gossips, she ordered Que'er to send her back.

It was not until she stepped out of the Bixiao Hall that Xiao Ni was completely relieved, thinking to herself: Sister-in-law, is she reminding herself?

After returning, Xiao Ni hesitated for a long time, and finally walked into Qiu's yard and told her mother exactly what happened.

Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "Your sister-in-law is a good person."

After all, they are separated from each other, and their second room is an orphan and a widow. If the princess is unhappy because of what happened yesterday, she can be punished. But she was concerned about Sister Ni's face, and just taught her a little bit. Concubine Shizi is now in a stable position in the palace, and the second room can't help her, so she doesn't need to use this to win over the second room, it can only be said that what she does is really for the good of Sister Ni.

"Sister Ni." Qiu said seriously, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Xiao Ni lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

She also thought a lot on the way back. She also felt that it was strange that Cousin Lan had to go to the small garden to put paper kites in the garden, but she did not stop her. Instead, Cousin Lan used herself to achieve her goal... Fortunately, nothing happened yesterday. , otherwise, the mother and the third brother will embarrass themselves. Mother is right, she is too naive.

"After returning to the room, copy the "Women's Instructions" and "Women's Commandments" ten times each." Mrs. Qiu was always strict with her daughter, "Don't go out before your uncle's birthday banquet."

Xiao Nifu agreed.

Seeing her daughter's expression a little embarrassed, Qiu sighed and pulled her to his side and sat down.

Nangong Yue didn't know how the second room would teach her daughter, and she didn't plan to ask.

As far as she is concerned, as long as Xiao Ni knows that she can't do things as she wants in the future, it will be fine. After all, Xiao Ni is still young and her temperament is not bad. She can still teach her. Today, it seems that she is enlightened.

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, as long as you can grow, it's worth it.

After looking at the account book for a while, Thrush who went to Qiao's house came back. As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Prince Prince, this servant did not finish the errand."

Nangong Yue raised her hand and said, "Get up and answer."

Thrush stood up and said carefully, "After the servant went to Qiao's house, she personally handed Zhi Yuan to Miss Lan Biao, and asked her to check the wind direction when looking for Zhi Yuan in the future, don't go to the wrong place..."

At that time, Qiao Ruolan's face was blue and white, and she almost threw the paper kite in her hand.

Then, Thrush conveyed the order of King Zhennan and sent her to the Mingqing Temple.

This time, Qiao Ruolan was really panicked, and she refused to leave until a maid called Mrs. Qiao over when she saw the opportunity...

Thrush lowered his head and said, "...Later, Mrs. Qiao ordered the slaves to be driven out, and she came to the palace angrily."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly, she was not surprised, or expected. If Mrs. Qiao let Qiao Ruolan go to the Mingqing Temple without making any noise, she would feel strange. Nangong Yue deliberately asked people to go to Qiao's house early to "send them off" because at this time, King Zhennan was still in the mansion.

"Magpie. Go and see."

Nangong Yue didn't say anything, but Queer knew it well, so she bowed her knees and left.

An hour later, Que'er came back and replied with a full smile: "Princess Shizi, after Mrs. Qiao went to the study, she cried, made trouble, hanged herself, and cried for the old prince and the old princess to come, and finally the prince came. I got a headache and finally agreed to Mrs. Qiao not to let Miss Qiao Biao go to the Mingqing Temple, but to send her to the Shuyao Women's Court."

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Shuyao Women's Court?"

Que'er replied, "My servant went to inquire, this Shuyao Women's Academy was first established by a talented woman who was watching over the widow. Later, she also invited many widows from scholarly families to be female gentlemen there. , Shuyao Women's Academy has made a name for itself. Some dignitaries and dignitaries want to invite female gentlemen, and they will choose from there. The rules of Shuyao's Women's Academy are very strict. Obediently, there are still many daughters left by the wife's wife who do not want to discipline their first wife, and they will also send them to Shuyao Women's Academy..."

Nangong Yue listened, and the corner of her mouth curled into a half-smile.

This is also the result of the compromise of King Zhennan.

In fact, it is better to go to the Ming and Qing Temple than to go to the Shuyao Women's Court.

The Mingqing Temple was enshrined by the palace, and Qiao Ruolan would not suffer much when she went there. Mrs. Qiao would come back to King Zhennan from time to time, and she would be back in ten days and a half at most.

But since the Shuyao Women's Court was the result of the compromise of King Zhennan, don't even think about coming back for a while.

It's a pity that Mrs. Qiao couldn't understand, she had to make a noise with King Zhennan, like a shrew.

Mrs. Qiao made troubles in front of King Zhennan in big and small matters. No matter how deep the relationship between sister and brother is, I am afraid that it will be tossed away.

She will not realize the crisis until the day when King Zhennan no longer obeys her...

It made no difference to Nangong Yue whether Qiao Ruolan was sent to the Mingqing Temple or the Shuyao Women's Academy. When Kikyo came to convey King Zhennan's order to prepare the carriage, Nangong Yue did as she was told.

On the same day, Qiao Ruolan got on the carriage and was sent to Shuyao Nursing Home.

As for whether she is willing or crying, Nangong Yue can't control it.

Nangong Yue stroked her skirt and got up to go to the pharmacy.

The antidote for miasma this time is entrusted by the official language, and it also involves the war ahead, and the stakes are very important, so Nangong Yue and Baihui are both cautious, and even the small things like buying herbal medicine are explained to Baihui to do it in person .

The pharmacy was filled with all kinds of herbs, from the poisonous silver snake root grass, poison hemlock, black brain grass to the non-toxic Salicornia, and so on.

There are many, many combinations of these herbs, and they must be tried again and again...until an antidote to the miasma toxicity is tested.

This will be an extremely complicated and difficult process, and it is likely that after hundreds of trials, there may not be discoveries.

Nangong Yue knew that they were busy next time, so both of them wore deerskin gloves-most of these herbs were highly poisonous, so care must be taken to avoid direct skin contact with the herbs.

After looking around in the pharmacy, Nangong Yue had a rough plan in her mind. First, she ordered Baihui to smash the poisonous hemlock, while she herself went to concoct the silver snake root grass.

Silver snake root grass gets its name from its root like a silver snake. Its leaves are non-toxic, but its roots are highly poisonous.

Nangong Yue removed its leaves, leaving only its roots, and divided it into two parts, one was freshly mashed, and the other was concocted. First soaked in ginger juice, then steamed for a stick of incense, then taken out and let it cool. Slice them, fry them in a pan, and let them cool down for later use...

As soon as Nangong Yue got busy, she was engrossed. She was so busy that she didn't know what year it was... until there was a series of strange creaking noises from outside the room, and Thrush came in with two cages. There were more than a dozen gray mice in the cages. The cage was scrambling, making creaking noises from time to time, and many girls were getting goosebumps when they heard it. Ying'er and several little maids watched from a distance, not daring to approach, with a look of admiration. Look at thrush.

Thrush didn't feel anything at all, looked at the cage in his hand and said with a strange expression: "Sister Baihui, what is there to be afraid of mice? It's so small, it should be afraid of us, right?" Thrush is a girl from a farmer. It is also common to catch voles from the fields to eat when I was a child.

Baihui's expression was also a little stiff, but she had always been used to it and remained calm.

At this time, Nangong Yue put down the tamping rod and jar, and looked over, stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that more than an hour had passed unknowingly, and it was almost noon by the sun.

Nangong Yue took off the deerskin gloves on her hands, rubbed her aching arm, and instructed: "Baihui, go get some dry swamp mud and soak it in water, and then give it to these mice in an appropriate amount to see how many doses will cause poisoning. The symptoms, how many doses are enough to kill..." She said carefully, and the two maids listened intently...

This day passed quickly in a busy day.

Nangong Yue tried to concoct every poisonous weed, and let Baihui and Thrush eat the mouse.

The result was unexpected—

"Prince Prince, those mice are dead." At dusk, Baihui and Thrush came to report together.

While talking, the two handed over the lists they had recorded. Each piece of paper was densely written and accompanied by a lot of simple icons.

Nangong Yue leaned against the window and read the pages carefully. Baihui recorded the various reactions of each poisoned rat after taking the herbs before and after concocting them. Naturally, there are many subtle differences that need to be carefully pondered. ...

In fact, in addition to this, there is a more important point. The herbs that are being tested are all bought from pharmacies. Although they are the same as those brought by Guan Yubai, the ones brought by Guan Yubai are the same ones brought by Guan Yubai. What grows on the edge of the poisonous swamp may have different medicinal properties... but there is no way to do it now, I can only try it first.

Time passed quickly, and the night was getting darker. Nangong Yue put down those orders and yawned sleepily.

No matter how urgent it is, the weight of medicine is about life, and it cannot be prepared in an instant.

In the next few days, there was one more thing in Nangongyue's daily life. She was busy all day and lost weight. Not only a few maids, but even Mrs. Fang felt distressed and persuaded her to do more. Take a break.

Nangong Yue replied with a smile, but she turned her back and kept busy. After all, it would be the birthday banquet of King Zhennan in three days. error.

However, it has been almost two months of preparation, and everything is in place. It can be said that everything is ready.

The birthday of King Zhennan is a major event in Southern Xinjiang.

In the capital, there is also a major event, that is, the establishment of the crown prince has officially been put on the agenda.

The emperor's only direct son, the fifth prince, Han Lingfan, had more homework every day, and the emperor would even come to the school in person for one or two exams.

Therefore, recently, every time it comes to Youshi, the clear and clear voice of a young man will be vaguely heard from the imperial study room, "...In ancient times, those who wished to be virtuous in the world must first govern their country. If you want to cultivate your body, you must first correct your mind. If you want to correct your mind, you must first be sincere in your mind. If you want to be sincere in your mind, you must first make your knowledge…”

The little maid led a young man in a lake-colored robe into the imperial study. The young man stood tall, with an indescribable elegance, just like the character in the painting.

It was the third prince Han Lingfu.

He looked at the young man who was talking to the emperor, a sullen look flashed in his eyes, but he immediately returned to his suave appearance.

After the young man finished answering, the emperor brushed his beard with a smile and said, "Little Wu, that's not bad. As Taifu said, your homework these days have been very beneficial."

The young man was the fifth prince, and he thanked the emperor in a hurry.

At this time, Han Lingfu stepped forward and bowed to the emperor: "See the father!"

"No ceremony." The emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe raised his hand and looked at Han Lingfu with a faint gaze.

Han Lingfu naturally noticed the indifference and alienation of the emperor's attitude, and his heart sank: Although he said that he was released by his father, his father obviously still remembers the previous events, even if he impatiently tried to please him, his father The emperor's attitude was only a little better.

Han Lingfu's eyes darkened, he calmed down, and said with a smile, "Father, the cook in Erchen's mansion has recently fiddled with some new food, and Erchen immediately brought it to Father."

Recently, the emperor's appetite was not good, so Han Lingfu thought of a way to send some fresh food to the emperor to taste.

The food that Han Lingfu recently sent is indeed quite novel. The emperor heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Bring it up."

Han Lingfu hurriedly handed a celadon jar to Eunuch Liu.

After Eunuch Liu accepted it, he did not present it to the emperor immediately. Instead, he opened the lid and picked out a small plate. After being tried by a special poison eunuch, he put it on the emperor's bookcase.

The emperor looked at the golden things in the celadon jar with interest. It was fluffy and delicate, and the aroma of meat with a strong sweetness came out, which made people move their index fingers.

The emperor asked curiously, "Little San, does this food have a name?"

"Meat floss." Han Lingfu hurriedly replied, "It's made of pork."

The emperor picked up a small silver spoon and scooped it into his mouth, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. After tasting another spoonful, he put down the silver spoon and praised: "Not bad, not bad. Little San, give me a good reward to the chef in your house."

Seeing that the emperor's expression softened a lot, Han Lingfu was overjoyed and said respectfully, "If the emperor likes it, it is the blessing of the cook in the son's palace."

The emperor let out a hearty laugh, Han Lingfu was about to take the opportunity to say something, but he saw the emperor raised his hand to greet Han Lingfan and said, "Xiao Wu, come and try this meat floss too."

When Eunuch Liu saw it, he immediately offered Han Lingfan a silver spoon.

Han Lingfan scooped a spoonful of golden meat floss from the celadon jar. After tasting it, he smiled and said, "Father, my son also thinks that this meat floss tastes really good, very appetizing. Father, why not try it with porridge. It must be pretty good."

"Xiao Wu, your proposal is good," the emperor smiled and brushed his beard, then instructed Eunuch Liu, "I want to have porridge tomorrow morning."

Han Lingfu watched helplessly as the emperor and Han Lingfan sent a father and son with filial piety, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he felt a little unwilling. Obviously he brought the meat floss to the father, but the fifth emperor insisted on stealing his limelight.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, a small servant came in and said, "Your Majesty, the servant brought the second son of the Nangong family and was waiting outside."

The emperor smiled at Han Lingfan: "A Xinke is here, let him in quickly."
