Chapter 1315

A melodious and melodious sound of the qin came out leisurely from a private seat on the second floor. At one time it was like a ding dong of spring water, at another time it was like a big bead falling on a jade plate, and at another time it was like a bird chirping...

A woman in green clothes came out of her private seat, quietly closed the door, and walked towards the stairs. Before she reached the entrance of the stairs, she heard the sound of going upstairs from downstairs. Mixed with the loud voice of an old woman: "I think this piano is played well, very smooth and festive, this girl must be beautiful."

The old woman's voice was full of anger, but from the words she used, it could be heard that she must be someone with little ink in her belly.

"Mother is right." Then another female voice sounded, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

During the conversation, four female guests walked into the corridor, apparently three generations of grandparents. The lady in Cuiyi hurriedly stepped aside and let the four guests walk past first.

The head of the four female guests was an elderly woman with gray hair on the temples, and she was in good spirits. I saw that she was wearing a pea-green plain robe, her gray hair was combed into a neat round bun, and only a bamboo was inserted into the bun. Hairpin, wearing a pair of dull silver bracelets on his wrists, dressed very simply, even the little girls in green clothes in the Huanxi Pavilion dress a little better than this old woman.

In contrast, the middle-aged woman beside the old woman and the two young girls behind her seemed to be of extraordinary origin. The appearance is somewhat similar, it should be sisters, the sister wears a gold-lined begonia red makeup flower robe, and the younger sister wears a peach-red brocade pattern with hanging branches and branches everywhere. Look at the material, it should be from Jiangnan years ago. The fancy style that just came, and the hairpins, earrings, collars, etc. that the three of them wore, they were all exquisite and luxurious.

The four female guests stood together, and it seemed that the old woman was a little out of place.

The woman in Cuiyi was very clear. Unlike the royal capital and Jiangnan, there were many centuries-old families with profound background. In southern Xinjiang, there were many people who were called "upstarts" by some aristocratic families. For example, the largest family in southern Xinjiang. The "nouveau riche" is probably the Zhennan Wangfu, and it has only been a few decades since their fortune, their ancestors can't tell how many generations... There are too many people in the southern border like this!

Some people come from hard times and wish to wear gold and gold, and put all their belongings on their bodies, while some people are used to hard times, and they are used to being simple even if they are better now.

"Sister Wei, did you hear the sound of the piano coming from over there?" The old woman said as she hurriedly walked towards the elegant room.

"Grandmother!" The older one of the two girls quickly followed, and persuaded softly, "It's not appropriate for you to just go over like this, isn't it?"

"What's wrong?" The old woman smiled disapprovingly, "I listened to her piano and thought it was good, so naturally I should praise her. Sister Wei, you should also learn something, don't always play those sad songs. It's...it's exhausting to hear."

The woman in Cuiyi's complexion changed slightly, listening to the old woman's tone, could it be that she wanted... bad! If this disturbs the purity of several nobles in the elegant seat, it will not be beautiful.

"This old lady, wait a minute..."

Madam Cuiyi hurriedly wanted to stop the old woman, but she was a step too late, only to hear a "squeak", the old woman had already pushed open the door recklessly, and said, "Excuse me?"

The sound of the piano in the elegant seat stopped abruptly, and then, the girl named Sister Wei blurted out in surprise, "Mrs... Mrs. Xiao?"

The lady in Cuiyi was stunned for a moment. Could it be that they knew the princely concubine? !

Following that, the middle-aged woman said apologetically, "Mrs. Xiao, it's really annoying."

Seeing that Nangong Yue nodded slightly, Baihui said warmly and politely, "Mrs. Chang, Miss Chang San, please sit inside."

The door of the seat was closed, and the lady in Cuiyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk towards the stairs.

However, Xiao Rongxuan, the second girl in the elegant seat, was not so happy, and glared at the visitor secretly.

She was playing the piano well, and wanted her sister-in-law to have a good experience of her piano skills, so that her sister-in-law would know that compared to the fourth sister, she was a talented girl who was good at both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she ran out three Cheng Yaojin halfway through. interrupted her. But since the person who came to know her sister-in-law, she must be someone who deserves a name, so she could only sit in the same place dignifiedly, smiling politely.

Xiao Rongying glanced at the second sister lightly, and secretly applauded the Chang family.

Mrs. Chang didn't notice the spark between Xiao Rongxuan and Xiao Rongying, and was overjoyed in her heart. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to do a good thing by accident. She was worried about the bad luck last time, and she couldn't be with the concubine in Bixiaotang. After saying a few words, I didn't expect that this time I came to Huanxi Pavilion to sit for a while, and I bumped into it like this. It seems that there is still some fate between the family and the palace. Today, I have to find a way to make the two daughters, the prince and the concubine and the big girl Xiao get close to each other.

"I've seen Concubine Shi." Mrs. Chang smiled and went up to greet Nangongyue, her eyes slid over Xiao Fei, Xiao Rongxuan, Xiao Ni and Xiao Rongying without a trace, secretly speculating that she didn't know which one was Miss Xiao. He said warmly, "This is the concubine's mother-in-law and young daughter, her name is Huanzhi."

Chang family? ! A flash of disapproval flashed in Xiao Rongxuan's eyes. No wonder she was so vulgar. I heard for a long time that this old lady was from the countryside. rude.

No matter what Xiao Rongxuan thought in her heart, she could only stand up and greet the Chang family as if nothing had happened.

After seeing each other, Mrs. Chang smiled as soon as they sat down: "Concubine Shizi, I heard the sound of the piano outside just now, and I thought it was very festive, so I came over to see which girl was playing the piano, but it disturbed the princess. ." Saying that, she looked at Xiao Rongxuan with a smile on her face.

Xiao Rongxuan's expression was a little subtle. She didn't know whether to be happy with the other party's praise of her piano skills in front of her sister-in-law, or to dislike the other party's vulgar words.

"Don't worry about Mrs. Chang, my sisters and I are just here to rest." Nangong Yue smiled gently.

Although this bold-faced old woman was a bit reckless, she did not lose her temperament. She was clearly different from Chang Huaixi, but somehow made her feel that the two grandchildren were indeed the grandchildren of direct relatives.

Mrs. Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Concubine Shizi was not angry, she said, "Could it be that Concubine Shizi just went to Anlan Palace to pray for blessings and came here to rest?" The implication is that the four of them also just came out of Anlan Palace to pray for blessings. .

Nangong Yue responded with a smile.

"It's a coincidence!" Mrs. Chang slapped her thighs and smiled, and said, "I heard that Concubine Shizi just went to Yanding City a few years ago. I don't know if you have seen Lao Shen's grandson? Concubine Shizi, my family Brother Xi didn't get into trouble, did he?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chang was dumbfounded. The mother-in-law said the first sentence in a human-like manner. What does the last sentence mean? Did your mother-in-law ask that? ...that's too sincere, isn't it?

Mrs. Chang's brows twitched speechlessly, and she looked at Nangong Yue nervously, lest she would make the other party unhappy.

Mrs. Chang is really worried. Although she made the decision to let Brother Xi go to the military camp to fight for his future, Brother Xi is really a master who can do whatever he wants, especially the stubborn temper, just like his grandfather! She didn't say it. For the past six months, she has been worried day and night that he will cause trouble there. Thinking that his grandfather did not make the old prince angry, he didn't know how many times he had been beaten by a military stick.

The last time my daughter-in-law went to the palace to give a New Year's gift, she came back and said that her grandson must have been reused by the son-in-law. Hey, my daughter-in-law is always doing things like this, can't I just ask the words directly? ! Forget about trying to figure it out in the dark.

Mrs. Chang's last question loosened the atmosphere in the seat, and both Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei couldn't help but laugh.

The smile on Nangong Yue's face became even stronger, and she said warmly, "Mrs. Chang, so that Sun never got into trouble, you can rest assured."

Concubine Shi's words showed an obvious meaning of closeness. Madam Chang's heart that was hanging in the air finally let go. It seemed that her mother-in-law made a mistake, and a few words even made the palace and their Changfu a lot closer.

"It's fine if you don't get into trouble!" Mrs. Chang laughed a few times, thinking to herself: Concubine Shi is worthy of being a Concubine, she is indeed a neat temperament, a woman's family should be like this! In the past, when they were in the countryside, men were fighting outside, and if women were soft-natured, they would ensure that no one would be bullied. No wonder Shi Ziye has won many battles over the years, this is the wife and sage! Well, just like when I was young!

The more Mrs. Chang looked at Nangong Yue, the more she felt that everyone was of the same kind, and she said cheerfully, "Concubine Shizi, please tell Shizi, even if you call your grandson, this boy should be raised rough and trained hard. Practicing, isn't there a saying that says jade or something. This boy is so precious, he's not like a girl." She also deliberately glanced at her daughter-in-law, giving Mrs. Chang a look on her face. have no choice.

"What Mrs. Chang said is that if you don't cut jade, you can't make a tool." Nangong Yue nodded with a smile, and said in her heart: There is one more sentence, an old man in a family is like a treasure.

"Prince Concubine Shi, that's the reason!" Mrs. Chang touched her palm excitedly.

This old man and the young man have very different temperaments, and he actually went on talking for a while... For a while, I only heard Mrs. Chang's outspoken laughter from time to time in the elegant room.

After having lunch at Huanxi Pavilion, Nangong Yue and his party headed back to the house. As soon as they returned to their yard, Thrush hurriedly stepped forward to report that Zhu Xing had just delivered something.

Nangong Yue raised her brows slightly, stepped in quickly, and saw a small box on the table at a glance.

It seems that Zhu Xing succeeded!

Baihui on the side was also staring at the box, vaguely guessing what it was and looking forward to it.

Nangong Yue opened the box and saw that there was a white porcelain jar depicting some kind of complicated red pattern inside. As soon as the jar was opened, a familiar smell of medicine rushed to the face. From this smell alone, Nangong Yue recognized that the black ointment in the jar was Wuhe ointment.

A few years ago, Nangong Yue asked Zhu Xing to ask Han Huaijun to urge him to arrange Wuhe ointment, and then the secret guards waited for the rabbit. Until today, it was robbed from the hands of the Baiyue people who sent Wuhe ointment.

Thrush looked at Wuhepao with a smile, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly: "Prince Shizi, Concubine Qiyi, I'm afraid we would never have thought that the people who stole this Wuhepao were us." That look of anger and despair made Thrush feel happy in her heart.

There is only a small jar of Wuhe paste, only two or three kilograms, but it is of great significance to their experiment.

Nangong Yue closed the box and instructed, "Baihui, send this Wuhe paste to the Lin house to grandfather."

"Yes, Concubine Shizi."

Baihui neatly picked up the wooden box again, picked up the curtain and went out, leaving only the string of beads that collided with each other and swayed endlessly.

The matter was very important, Baihui did not delay, and immediately came to Dongyimen with the small box.

After a while, the groom came over in a blue-covered carriage.

Baihui lifted her skirt and was about to get into the carriage when she heard a serious and old-fashioned voice not far behind: "Miss Baihui!"

It sounds like...

Baihui turned around, followed the sound, and saw Madam Chu, who was wearing an ocher-colored gourd-patterned bei, walking towards her slowly with a straight face, followed by two little girls who were only seven or eight years old. .

"Mother Chu." Baihui gracefully greeted that Mama Chu and blessed her body.

After Mother Chu entered the Bixiao Hall, Nangong Yue asked her to bring a few new ones into the residence for the time being. The little maids who had just taught the rules to clean up those unused yards were fairly leisurely, so that she would not be left with nothing to do. , and will not be too harsh on old servants.

Mother Chu just came back from the northeast corner. When she saw Baihui here, she came over as if she was about to go out.

Mother Chu glanced at the carriage behind Baihui, frowned, and asked, "Miss Baihui, are you going to leave the house? Why are you leaving the house?" obvious question.

"I'm going out of the palace on the orders of Concubine Shizi." Baihui replied to the first question, but avoided the second question.

Madam Chu's brows furrowed even tighter, and she thought to herself: Concubine Shizi is too young, and the rules of this imperial court are not strict.

"Miss Baihui," Madam Chu said righteously, "I think that when the previous princess was alive, she set up rules for Bixiaotang, and the maids and wives in the inner courtyard should not leave the house easily without their waist cards, lest they If something happens outside, it will ruin the reputation of the palace and Bixiaotang."

Even though it was only a few days before Mother Chu came to Bixiaotang, she left the mansion, and she immediately chatted with some old people she knew before, and learned a lot about Bixiaotang from their mouths. For example, this girl Baihui is the eldest maid of the imperial concubine, and she is also the person who is most used by the imperial concubine. In the palace, it is passed down that the imperial concubine plans to wait for Baihui girl to stay by her side as the head of the inner court after she gets married. The empress dowager's attention to him is evident.

If you want to gain a foothold in Bixiaotang, you must convince Baihui first. Mother Chu secretly said to herself that as long as she stood up for a word of reason, even if she sued the prince and concubine, she would still be justified.

Baihui looked at Madam Chu lightly, her dark and deep eyes were calm and calm, as if she could look directly into people's hearts.

"Come on!"

She spat out two words, and the woman who was waiting for the carriage immediately nodded and greeted her.

"Mother Chu is tired, take her to rest." After Baihui ordered, she quickly got on the carriage with her skirt on.

Mother Chu was prepared, thinking that Baihui would fight with her, but she didn't expect the other party's actions to be so simple and rude, it was really...

Mother Chu wanted to go forward, but was stopped by the old woman: "Mother Chu, don't make it difficult for slaves to do it..." During the conversation, another rough woman also greeted her.

Mother Chu's complexion sank. Today is different from the past. When she was taking care of the prince, who would dare to treat her like this. It can be seen that if the rules of this inner court are not well rectified, sooner or later, the etiquette will be messed up and a joke will be made.

Be sure to talk to the princess well!

Although I did not follow the order of the first princess to take care of the prince and grow up, but it was a last resort, and the first princess would definitely understand herself. Now that he is back, he will definitely make up for the helplessness of the past, and take good care of this inner courtyard for the prince.

Thinking of this, Mother Chu walked towards the main courtyard of Bixiao Hall without any hesitation.

But……

He couldn't even enter the yard, so he was stopped by the little girl.

After a while, Que'er came out and said with a smile: "Prince Concubine Shizi is resting, and the servants do not dare to disturb him."

Madam Chu frowned and said, "What time is this, and the prince concubine is also very serious..."

"Mother Chu." Que'er smiled and interrupted her coldly, "Concubine Shi is the master, you are the servant, Mama Chu still needs to recognize her own identity." After speaking, she dismissed her without heeding. The sleeves went away, leaving behind only the pale-faced Mother Chu.

Que'er went back to the house and saw Nangong Yue leaning lazily on the beauty's couch, flipping through a book of travel journals in his hand carelessly.

She replied softly: "Prince Shizi, people are still outside."

"Don't worry about it." Nangong Yueman said indifferently.

An old servant like Chu Momo, who had served the previous concubine, had a bit of arrogance of his own. Only by destroying her arrogance and letting her know her identity would she be honest.

It has been nineteen years, and there is no rush at this moment.

"Has Xiao Hui come back?" Nangong Yue asked, since last night, Xiao Hui has not been seen, and it is estimated that he will go to Han Yu again.

This little Hui, since he has been to Yanding City, his temper has become more and more wild!

It's all for Ai to get used to!

Thinking of Xiao Yi, the corners of Nangong Yue's lips curled up, and her eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Dengli City...

The quiet afternoon passed quietly, the sun gradually set, and the night became heavier.

The night in Dengli City is quiet, but it is different from the dead silence before, and the silence now is a quiet silence.

In the garrison, the candles were not extinguished, and in the silent night, the flames jumped lively.

Guan Yu, who had already showered and changed his clothes, was sitting behind the huge book desk with his long black hair in white. Place names: such as Kuilang, Nuhar... Siglai Mountain, Ruijiang City...

Guan Yubai's slender fingers moved on the map from time to time. Seeing his concentration, it was obvious that he had no plans to go to bed for a while.

Xiao Si frowned and tried to persuade but in the end he didn't. He picked up the celadon tea cup in Guan Yubai's hand, and planned to add some tea to the young master, but he only took a step before he stopped and looked out the window. ...

Guan Yubai immediately noticed Xiao Si's change, and looked up thoughtfully.

There was a little gray shadow in the bright silver moon outside. The gray shadow became bigger and bigger, flew closer, and flew lower and lower... It could be vaguely seen that it was a white dove, and there was a gray eagle behind it.

The chubby white dove was obviously frightened, its wings flapped and flapped, and occasionally a few thin white feathers fell, and the gray eagle behind it was obviously amusing the dove, and every time the white dove struggled forward After flying a little, the gray eagle deliberately lengthened the distance between them, but then it vibrated its wings twice in a heroic manner, and caught up again in the blink of an eye...

The poor white pigeon was desperately trying to escape, Xiao Si frowned, this little gray really knows how to pick the time, and came to bully his own pigeon!

Xiao Si put down the tea cup, propped it on the window sill at will, and nimbly flew out of the study.

After a while, he went back the same way, holding the fat white pigeon in one hand, and holding a small bamboo tube sealed with wax in the other, and handed it to Guan Yubai.

Immediately after, Xiao Hui also flew over. Instead of entering the house, he stopped on a branch outside the window and looked down at the house.

Xiao Si didn't even look at Xiao Hui, and said to Guan Yubai with certainty, "Young Master, it's from Nanliang."

"Cuckoo—" The fat white dove let out a soft cry as if responding to him, its bulging body trembled, and shrank straight into Xiao Si's arms, trying to avoid the "cold horror" outside the window. "The eyes really scared the pigeons to death!

Guan Yubai quickly took out the silk paper in the small bamboo tube, unfolded it quickly, and looked down at a glance, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

The flying pigeons came from Xiao Yi.

On the silk paper, there was only one sentence written in a dance of dragons and phoenixes - the city of Wuli has been destroyed, and the king of Nanliang was captured alive.

Wuli City is the capital of Nanliang. In December, Xiao Yi had already marched under Wuli City, but he had not attacked the city until all the surrounding cities had been swept away, and the battle drums were officially sounded three days ago.

In just three days, Wuli City was broken!

Nanliang country is dead!
