December 12th is the day when Nangong Yue and Mrs. Zhou made an appointment to go to the Heavenly Palace to pray for blessings.
In the early morning, the warm winter sun shone down lightly, shining on the body warmly.
Early in the morning, in front of the Tianshang Temple, the largest Mazu Temple in Luoyue City, the incense was in full swing as usual, and the believers came here religiously to offer incense.
Nangong Yue didn't want to make a move, so he and Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni traveled in an ordinary blue-covered carriage, while Xiao Luan rode a tall white horse to the side. Today's Xiao Luan was wearing a purple The flowing cloud bat pattern woven gold robe, a black hair tied high with a silver crown, and the horse's hooves flying, it seems to be quite sassy.
Coupled with the several guards accompanying them, they were all tall and mighty, and they drove all the way, attracting a lot of curious eyes. Those believers and commoners were secretly speculating that they didn't know which big family's sons and daughters came to buy the incense. .
The servants of the palace had come to Tianshang Palace three days in advance to say hello, so Mrs. Cheng was waiting there early, and when she saw the carriage came, she hurriedly greeted her.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate, and the maid carefully helped Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Ni out of the carriage.
"Mrs. Xiao, Second Young Master Xiao, Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao, please come in." Aunt Cheng bowed respectfully, because she had been warned in advance and did not dare to reveal the identities of Nangong Yue's group.
Under the guidance of Miaozhu, the group went to the west wing.
Aunt Cheng walked ahead, her heartbeat still beating.
I heard that the second prince of the palace and the newly-married lady Zhou are coming here to pray for blessings. Aunt Cheng is naturally very favored. If it wasn't for the people in the palace who told the prince and concubine not to disturb the people, Aunt Cheng really wanted to seal the temple today, so as not to lose her eyes. The person accidentally disturbed the noble.
After thinking about it, Aunt Cheng deliberately sealed the West Side Hall and the West Wing, and did not allow unrelated people to enter and leave at will. She only hoped that today's prayers would go smoothly.
In the future, the news of Zhennan Wangfu coming here to pray for blessings spreads, and the incense in the Tianshang Palace will definitely be more prosperous!
Thinking about it, Aunt Cheng smiled until her eyes narrowed, and enthusiastically led Nangong Yue and the others into the courtyard gate of the west wing, and said, "Mrs. Xiao, Madam Zhou and the others are inside..."
As soon as you enter the yard, you can see a small bamboo forest on the right front. Outside the bamboo forest is an octagonal pavilion. At this moment, several female relatives of the Zhou family are waiting in the pavilion.
Although the agreed time is now, but everyone in the Zhou family dared to make Concubine Shi and Second Young Master Xiao wait for a long time, they had already arrived half an hour earlier.
According to the rules of Nanjiang, on the day of prayer, the female relatives of both parties will be present. The second room of the Zhennan Palace is a widow, and the third room has no direct daughter, so Nangong Yue only brought Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni. As for Zhou Mansion, in addition to Zhou Roujia's mother and daughter, Mrs. Lu also came with her two daughters on Tuesday. As soon as they heard the movement outside the hospital, the five people in the Zhou family got up and walked out of the octagonal pavilion to greet them.
Zhou Rouhui, who was at the back, looked at Xiao Luan in disbelief, her nails almost pinched into her palm. She stared directly at Xiao Luan, she had heard that Xiao Luan was ignorant, she had heard that Xiao Luan was idle, she had heard that Xiao Luan was greedy for beauty... I didn't expect him to be so handsome and handsome, and he was the second son of the palace... Why does Zhou Roujia have such good luck!
In an instant, the original hesitation in Zhou Rouhui's heart disappeared, a flash of decisiveness flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her eyes to follow as if nothing had happened.
"I've seen your mother-in-law." Xiao Luan gave Wang's salutation generously, looking like a man.
"No ceremony, no ceremony." Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, with a hint of embarrassment in her words.
It was the first time she saw Xiao Luan. Although she had already heard a little about Xiao Luan from her daughter, she was still a little uneasy. She was afraid that the second son of Xiao, who had a favored concubine in the house, would marry this family. There was an opinion on the marriage, and it was only now that he saw Xiao Luan's calm expression, he was secretly relieved.
As long as this Second Young Master Xiao has no objection to the marriage, the fear is that he is unwilling at first, and then gradually turns into disgust...
Thinking of her torment in Zhou Mansion for so many years, a trace of bitterness appeared in Wang's heart, and she said to herself in her heart that as long as her daughter was doing well, it would be fine. It doesn't matter if Second Young Master Xiao is unreliable, as long as the daughter looks to the imperial concubine and gives birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, no one else can surpass her in this life! ...just a favored concubine, how can you find the waves in the palace.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Wang felt a lot more relieved, and exchanged a few words with Xiao Luan.
Everyone saw the ceremony one by one, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone's performance at this moment was elegant and decent.
Nangong Yue looked at the time and said, "The auspicious time is almost here, second brother, Miss Zhou, you should also go to pray."
Xiao Luan glanced at Zhou Roujia, and answered quickly and neatly, Zhou Roujia bowed her knees, and her fair cheeks were stained with crimson.
Under the guidance of Aunt Cheng, the group moved to the West Side Hall. From a distance, they saw the four fans of the Side Hall were wide open. There was a one-person-high Mazu statue in the hall, with bright colors and lifelike eyes. The kind smile in the middle makes people look at peace.
Nangong Yue, Wang Shi and others stopped outside the hall and watched Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia walk side by side towards the hall. They were probably a little nervous, and their backs were slightly stiff.
Zhou Roujia was really nervous, she just felt her heart pounding, but when she walked over the threshold with her skirt, Xiao Luan's voice suddenly came from her ear: "The flower cake you made is delicious."
The steps under her feet paused for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Luan.
He was looking at her, and their eyes met for a moment in mid-air.
Smelling the smell of the incense in the hall, Zhou Roujia calmed down, smiled slightly, and said, "You make it up like Xiao Hui."
Xiao Luan's eyes lit up and said complacently, "I think so too." He knew that she must have vision.
While talking, the two walked into the side hall, stopped in front of the futon, and knelt down together, praying silently with their hands together.
Hope they will grow old together in the future!
Hope they have more children in the future!
Hope they are safe and sound in the future!
...
After kneeling three times and nine kowtows to the statue of Mazu, the two walked out of the side hall again.
At this moment, the tension from before has faded away, as if the two of them suddenly had a little secret in common just now, as if they had a common tacit understanding, the atmosphere between the two was much softer.
Looking at this pair of beautiful people, Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile. She understood the meaning of the custom of Nanjiang. Before getting married, wouldn't it be wonderful to ask the young couple to make a wish for a common future?
Nangong Yue thought eagerly that when Ayi came back, the two of them would also come to pray together.
Seizing the opportunity, Mrs. Lu hurriedly accosted Nangong Yue, covered her mouth and praised, "Concubine Shizi, sister-in-law, these two children are really talented, aren't they?!"
Hearing this, Zhou Rouhui in the back shrank her pupils and stared at Lu Shi in disbelief. The disappointment at that moment was as if she had been betrayed. She gritted her teeth secretly, thankful that she lived in the long house recently, so she never had the opportunity to tell her mother what she thought...
Nangong Yue just smiled and didn't answer Lu's words.
Wang Shi was also silent. If it was the previous Wang family, he would definitely help to smooth things out, but since the incense incident, Wang's heart has been completely cold, and finally he has seen through this younger brother and sister. , this kind of person is not even worthy of her ignorance...
Be polite to her, she will only think that she is easy to bully!
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue and Wang Shi were so disrespectful to him, Lu Shi's expression froze for a moment, but he could only continue to smile as if nothing had happened.
In the stiff atmosphere, Zhou Rouhui asked in a coquettish voice, "Concubine Shizi, auntie, mother, can I go to the temple to worship Mazu?" She smiled slightly, trying her best to show her most beautiful smile, charming and lovely.
When Zhou Rouhui said this, Zhou Roujin immediately agreed, "I want to go too."
Since it is rare to come to the Mazu Temple, Nangong Yue originally planned to let the girls go to worship, and said with a smile: "Sister Fei, Sister Ni, let's go to worship together." She also wanted to pray for Ayi and the Nanjiang Army. , I hope they come back victorious soon.
Following, several people also entered the temple to worship Mazu and asked for a lottery, not to mention why each asked.
By the time they came out of the side hall, it was almost noon, and Aunt Cheng took them back to the west wing, where a few help-workers hurriedly served a table of fast food.
The female relatives sat at a table, and the only man, Xiao Luan, was led to the next yard for dinner.
Although the vegetarian food in the Tianshang Palace is not bad, it is still a little worse than the Anlan Palace. While eating, Nangong Yue thought that maybe she could go to Anlan Palace with Han Qixia and Xiao Fei someday.
When Su Zhai was halfway through, Zhou Rouhui whispered in Lu Shi's ear, and then stood up with a shy look on her face, obviously going to the clean room.
Zhou Rouhui took the maid out of the wing, and everyone continued to enjoy the vegetarian food. After the meal was eaten, Zhou Rouhui had not come back. Nangong Yue's heart moved, and she gave Baihui a wink without a trace.
Baihui had followed Nangong Yue for so many years, she immediately understood what her master meant, and quietly withdrew.
After a while, Baihui came back, and Fu Er whispered in Nangong Yue's ear, Nangong Yue's lips pursed into a straight line, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Some people! It's really not going to die until the Yellow River!
Nangong Yue picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, then went out of the wing under the pretext of changing clothes.
The subtle changes in Nangong Yue's body were not concealed from the eyes of the group, and everyone else looked at each other in dismay.
Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Lu Shi suddenly thought of something and looked to his right. It must have been too long for Sister Hui to go to the clean room...
Her sharp eyes suddenly looked at Zhou Roujin on the other side, but Zhou Roujin's eyes were half-drooping, and she seemed a little uneasy.
Lu's heart sank instantly. She really wanted to ask Zhou Roujin what her sister did, but she was afraid of Wang's and Zhou Roujia's presence, so she couldn't ask.
Under the guidance of Baihui, Nangong Yue strode towards the yard next door.
"Prince Prince, this way."
Baihui led Nangong Yue into the courtyard, and then walked towards a wing on the west side of the courtyard.
At the door of the wing room, a maid in a blue dress fell unconsciously to the ground. It was Zhou Rouhui's personal maid. She was ordered by Zhou Rouhui to take care of her here. stunned.
Nangong Yue's master and servant ignored the maid and were about to cross the threshold when they heard Zhou Rouhui's sweet and sweet female voice coming from the room: "Second son, I feel so uncomfortable..."
"Miss Tuesday, where's your maid?" followed by Xiao Luan's voice, "Forget it, since you're not feeling well, I'll call a doctor for you."
"Second son, wait!" Zhou Rouhui raised her voice slightly excitedly, "Actually... Actually, I have always... always admired the son!"
Nangong Yue's brows furrowed even tighter, she strode across the threshold, her footsteps paused, and her small nose moved slightly.
At this moment, the house is filled with a faint incense aroma, which makes people feel stunned. This smell is...
Nangong Yue's face turned gloomy, this Zhou Rouhui is really brave!
Not only did she hook up with her future brother-in-law, but she also ordered such lowly incense sticks. If this allowed her to succeed, the reputation of both the Wangfu and Zhoufu would suffer!
Nangong Yue continued to walk forward, Baihui was about to pick a curtain for Nangong Yue in front, but Xiao Luan said again, "You said you like me?" Xiao Luan's tone was a bit strange, "Miss Tuesday, I Xiao Luan admit it. Merry but not lewd, what do you think?"
"Then... of course." Zhou Rouhui said hurriedly.
It was quiet inside.
This Zhou Rouhui may have misread Xiao Luan... Nangong Yue hooked the corner of her mouth with a smile, and nodded slightly to Baihui.
With the sound of bead chains colliding, a man and a woman in the room all looked in the direction of the door curtain.
"The world... the prince concubine!"
Zhou Rouhui blurted out in disbelief, the panic in her eyes could not be concealed: How does the third sister do things! How could it be the imperial concubine, it shouldn't be...
Nangong Yue looked at Zhou Rouhui with a half-smile, but at this moment, Zhou Rouhui's right hand was firmly grasping Xiao Luan's right arm, her chest was against Xiao Luan's arm, and she was just about to give her a hug.
It's a pity that Zhou Rouhui probably hasn't understood Xiao Luan's words until now.
Zhou Rouhui must have inquired about Xiao Luan beforehand, knowing that Xiao Luan had a concubine in the house before she got married, so she dared to give her arms so boldly, thinking that since Xiao Luan was greedy for beauty, as long as she was a little flattering, she would It is easy to take the bait, and when the raw rice is cooked, in order to protect the reputation of the two families, she will be able to marry into the Zhennan Palace on behalf of her sister.
But she was smart enough to not understand Xiao Luan's temperament at all.
Xiao Luan may be playful, ignorant, or incapable, but that doesn't mean that he is virtuous.
Although Xiao Luan had Pian Pian in the house, this Pian Pian was also carried as a concubine with the permission of the elders.
It is not uncommon for children of noble families to have several concubines in the house before their big wedding, but Xiao Luan takes concubines before he gets married. Some people who are strict in family style or love their daughters must have some thought in their hearts when choosing a son-in-law, but There's nothing wrong with that either. At most, there are two sentences about being young and romantic, which are innocuous.
However, he just got married with Zhou Roujia, and Zhou Rouhui came to hook up with him. If the two of them really got along, it would be a scandal with the sister-in-law. It's not romantic, but obscene!
In an instant, Nangongyue's mind was already spinning, and sometimes he had to be thankful that Xiao Fang's defeat in this life was too early, and it did not affect the behavior of the two brothers and sisters Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei too much.
Xiao Luan didn't expect his sister-in-law to appear suddenly, and saw himself "pulling" with a woman. Even if he always considered himself to be suave, he would inevitably show embarrassment, so he avoided Zhou Rouhui's hand.
Xiao Luan coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and wanted to explain, "Sister-in-law, I..."
"Second brother, this room is not clean, so come out and talk." Nangong Yue gave Zhou Rouhui a meaningful look.
Does the princess know? ! Zhou Rouhui shrank, bent down and lowered her head. She was so ashamed that she almost wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. She was in despair, but she had no way out!
All she can grasp now is Xiao Luan's pity!
"Second son!" Zhou Rouhui stepped forward again and tried to hold Xiao Luan. This time, Xiao Luan was prepared and stepped back for fear.
Baihui dodged and stood between Zhou Rouhui and Xiao Luan. She grabbed Zhou Rouhui's right wrist and said without any hesitation, "Miss Tuesday, I'm offended!"
She was expressionless, looking at Zhou Rouhui like a torch, and there was no trace of apology on her face.
Zhou Rouhui wanted to slap Baihui in the face, but she could only look at Xiao Luan pitifully: "Second Young Master, I'm real..."
She didn't have a chance to finish her words. Seeing that she was ignorant, Baihui simply slapped Zhou Rouhui on the back of her neck. Zhou Rouhui rolled her eyes and fell down softly.
The next moment, a hysterical voice sounded: "Sister Hui!"
A ginger-colored figure flashed by, Lu Shi rushed over excitedly, knelt on the ground, looked at Zhou Rouhui nervously, and called out, "Sister Hui! What have you done to Sister Hui?" She was almost aggressive. Staring at Baihui.
Not only Mrs. Lu came, but also several other people from Zhou's residence - Mrs. Wang, Zhou Roujia and Zhou Roujin all came, except for Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni.
Zhou Roujin looked at the scene in front of her and was a little dumbfounded. She brought her mother and eldest sister on time. Why did things seem to be wrong?
Xiao Luan glanced at Zhou Roujia nervously and a little guilty, and said to herself: She won't misunderstand, right? I didn't provoke her sister! Although I like beautiful women, I also know what to do and what not to do!
Nangong Yue looked at Mrs. Lu and said lightly, "Mrs. Tuesday, you should ask Ling Ai what exactly did she do? What is she doing with a sachet containing 'Peony Spring' on her body as an unmarried girl?" The incense of "Peony Spring" is enough to ruin the reputation of all the girls in the Zhou Mansion.
Peony spring? ! Xiao Luan suddenly realized, no wonder when Zhou Rouhui approached, he smelled a sweet smell and felt that he was hot all over... Thinking about it, he showed disgust, covered his nose and took a few steps back.
Lu's face was as pale as paper, and her heart sank: How could Sister Hui do such a silly thing! ... This matter was originally unfounded and unsubstantiated, and it could be fooled with just a few words, but with Peony Spring, it's hard evidence.
Lu Shi was in a hurry, but Zhou Rouhui was her daughter after all, a piece of flesh cut from her body, how could she let people ignore it.
Lu Shi was in a turmoil and wanted to try to fool her, but Nangong Yue had no interest in talking to her at all. This mother and daughter were like a raccoon dog. After all, Zhou Rouhui is just learning and doing well.
Nangong Yue instructed Baihui: "Baihui, you 'personally' take Miss Tuesday to 'General Zhou'! Let General Zhou give us an explanation for Zhennan Wangfu." She deliberately emphasized certain words.
Hearing this, Lu's face became even more ugly, and he blurted out, "No, no!"
Mrs. Lu hurriedly looked at Mrs. Wang and Zhou Roujia, and begged: "Sister-in-law, Sister Jia, please beg the eldest concubine, we are always a family, and Sister Hui is still young, she will know it's wrong!" His eyes were flushed red, and before he knew it, tears filled his eyes.
Know wrong?
Some people will never be content and will never know wrong.
Wang shi looked away and looked at Nangong Yue with a blessing: "It made the princely concubine laugh."
In an instant, Lu Shi's whole body almost collapsed.
It would be better if the Wang family could be tougher. Nangong Yue didn't say any more. With a simple gesture, the servants of the palace quickly took everyone from the second room of the Zhou family away.
When such a thing happened, Wang Shi was ashamed and ashamed. She just wanted to go back quickly. This time, no matter what the master said, she must seek justice for her daughter!
Thinking of this, Mrs Wang curtseyed again and said goodbye embarrassedly.
Wang Shi and Zhou Roujia were about to leave, Xiao Luan hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but stopped Zhou Roujia: "Miss Zhou..."
