Chapter 1370 676 Continuation

Mrs. Qiao naturally knew that the An family was the uncle's house of the former princess Dafang, but she had no contact with the An family. How could Mrs. An come to visit suddenly? !

Although it was strange in her heart, Mrs. Qiao still asked the maid to bring people in.

After a while, the maid came with a plump middle-aged woman. Mrs. An was wearing an amber woven gold gourd pattern robe, and a silver gilt inlaid tourmaline dotted green hairpin on her round bun. It looks graceful and luxurious.

After the two greeted each other, Mrs. Qiao asked Mrs. An to sit down.

After the maid hurriedly brought tea to the guests, Mrs. An took a sip, and immediately praised the good tea attentively before entering the topic: "Excuse me, Madam, I took the liberty to visit the mansion today, and I came here to invite you. From your house..." She made a gesture, and the close-fitting maid immediately handed over a golden post with both hands.

A mama took the post and presented it to Mrs. Qiao.

Mrs. An continued with a smile: "Mrs. Qiao, we are new to the An family, and we are very unfamiliar with the various palaces in Luoyue City, so we want to use this peony banquet to invite everyone to the palace for a chat, so that we can get to know each other well. , I can have a little fun in the second place." After a pause, she said again, "My son Rui will be studying at the Lezhi Academy in Luoyue City in the future, and I also want to take this opportunity to get to know the young people from various prefectures. It will be easier to move around in the future.”

While Mrs. Qiao opened the post and watched, while listening to Mrs. An's explanation of her intention, the other party personally came to send her a post to show her respect, and Mrs. Qiao was very useful in her heart.

Madam Qiao nodded reservedly: "If I have time, I will definitely visit."

Looking at Mrs. Qiao's tone, she should have agreed. This is also a good start. Mrs. An was relieved, and she flattered Mrs. Qiao diligently, praising her for her well-kept, well-mannered family, and her outstanding children...

Seeing Mrs. Qiao's expression of joy, Mrs. An took advantage of the situation and continued to say: "Ling Ai is both talented and beautiful, and she is like the phoenix of the world, hey, if my unfilial daughter has half of Ling Ai and Shi Zifei. Mrs. Qiao, to tell the truth, my three daughters are already fifteen years old, and they have not yet made a marriage, but she is very high-spirited. She is not a hero and won't marry. I am really worried about being a mother. ."

Originally, Mrs. Qiao thought it was very useful to hear the other party compliment her daughter, but when she heard that the other party picked up Nangong Yue in an uninteresting manner, Mrs. Qiao became more and more angry, and then heard the other party say that her daughter wanted to Marrying a hero or something, I couldn't help laughing sarcastically, thinking to myself: Does this Mrs. An still want Miss An San to marry Xiao Yi as a side concubine? ! Simply short-sighted!

Thinking, Mrs. Qiao stroked her sleeves and said sarcastically, "Mrs. An, even if the concubine in this world is so good, it's a pity that she is jealous and can't tolerate the concubine's room. Xian! She's really a jealous woman, but she has an unsatisfactory belly. She has been married to the prince for several years, and she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter. I really don't understand how the Nangong family brought up such a daughter, what a century-old family? It's just the name!"

Mrs. An's face froze for a moment. She didn't expect Mrs. Qiao to say such words in front of her. Now she is in a dilemma and dare not respond at will. She also blamed her for omission. She should have inquired about it first. It turned out that Mrs. Qiao was at odds with the concubine.

At this time, Mrs. An could only secretly rejoice, fortunately, her family did not plan to send her daughter to be a concubine to the prince, otherwise wouldn't it offend the prince's concubine? !

Mrs. An laughed dryly, and said implicitly: "Master Shizi and Concubine Shizi are still young, so it must be the time..." Then, she quickly changed the subject and said, "At last, Master Shizi has Shizifei to take care of him, unlike the prince. "..." She deliberately sighed, "Your Majesty's daily schedule is full of opportunities, and there is no one who is willing to serve, so what is it! Your Majesty should renew the string as soon as possible."

Although Xiao Fang was divorced, how could there be a lack of servants beside King Zhennan, from the concubine Wei, down to his concubines, who took care of King Zhennan thoughtfully. .

Madam Qiao was stunned for a moment, and she finally recalled it for a moment, and looked at Madam An.

It turned out that the An family did not go to the prince's side concubine, but they were looking for the successor of King Zhennan!

Madam Qiao twitched the corner of her mouth and said casually, "Yes. Zhennan Wangfu should have a serious mistress soon."

Mrs. An was delighted and wanted to continue the test, but Mrs. Qiao had already changed the subject, and Mrs. An was not forced, so she had to follow her words to talk about clothes and jewelry. After sitting for about half an hour, Mrs. An said Offer to say goodbye.

Watching the other party's back go farther and farther, Madam Qiao suddenly said, "Show me the An family's gift list."

Mammy responded, took a gift list from a little maid, and said respectfully, "Please also ask Madam to take a look."

Mrs. Qiao responded and quickly scanned the gift list. She immediately showed disdain, put the list aside, and instructed lightly, "Just put it in the warehouse."

It's just an ordinary four-color ceremony, and I want to ask her to do things and get the throne of the king of Zhennan! Really big appetite!

Madam Qiao picked up the celadon tea cup beside her, and gently used the tea lid to remove the tea leaves floating on the surface. Mammy went down to do errands, but after a while, she came back in a hurry, holding a small box in her hand.

The mama gave a wink, and the little girl who served in the room withdrew.

"Madam," Mammy opened the box and presented the contents to Mrs. Qiao's eyes. She whispered, "There is another box here. The An family didn't write it in the gift list. Please take a look."

There appears to be a deed in the box.

Madam Qiao took out the deed paper, thinking it was just a title deed for a few acres of land, but she didn't want to...

This is……

Madam Qiao was slightly stunned, this was actually a deed from a bank.

This Anjia is really a big handwriting!

Mrs. Qiao exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the An family would be so painstaking and willing to pay for the mere position of successor."

Mammy smiled and said: "Madam, it also depends on who is the successor, that is the prince, although it is the successor, as long as the prince asks for the seal, it is also a princess with a high-ranking appointment. Although this An family has some money, it is in decline. Now, to put it in a bad way, the An family's daughter can become the prince's successor because he has climbed up the An family."

Madam Qiao smiled reservedly, nodded and said, "The An family and the Fang family belong to the four major families in the Southern Border, so it would be a good idea for the daughter of the eldest daughter to marry into the palace as the successor."

Saying that, Madam Qiao glanced at the deed paper in her hand again. Since this An family is so interesting, they want the throne of the king of Zhennan, so they give it. Anyway, the younger brother always wants to continue the string. It is better to marry someone who is willing to show his favor than to marry someone who is against himself.

She didn't want to be another "Nangong Yue", to add to herself from time to time.

Later, when the girl from the An family passed by, she would have a helper in the palace.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Qiao's mouth curled into a smug smile, and even the hot tea in her mouth felt a lot more mellow.

On April 29th, Mrs. An once again entered the gate of Qiao’s house. On the same day, Nangong Yue accompanied Mrs. Fu to Tian’s house early in the morning, and asked Mrs. Tian to be a matchmaker to go to Lin’s house for Fu Yunhe. Propose marriage.

The Fu Lin family had already agreed on this marriage, and Mrs. Tian could sell one of the two families just by making a trip. Naturally, she agreed without a word.

Everything went very smoothly. On that day, the Fu Lin family exchanged Geng Tie.

After Han Qixia died, she never thought of going back to the capital, so even though she recognized the girl of the Lin family, she didn't change her name, but just called Lin Jingchen "grandfather". But nowadays, the Fu family is an honorable person, and the emperor always has to ask about the origin of Fu Yunhe's wife. Furthermore, even if they lived in the southern border for many years after their marriage, there would always be a day when they would return to the capital... The name Han Qixia became inappropriate.

So, before Mrs. Fu went to the southern border, Lin Jingchen officially recognized Han Qixia under the name of the Lin family, and her name was also derived from the "child" of the Lin family, calling it Lin Zixia.

On the Geng post that Mrs. Fu got, her name was Lin Zixia.

The two families already knew the bottom line, and accepting and asking for names was just a situation. Mrs. Fu came here this time with the intention of leaving after completing the small ceremonies, so she chose the nearest auspicious date, June 20. .

While Mrs. Fu was eagerly preparing for the small appointment, she and her daughter and son-in-law stayed at the Bixiao Hall with peace of mind.

Fu Yunyan had been to the southern border, and she knew a lot about the interesting places in Luoyue City. She had a restless temperament. Seeing that the big thing was done, she dragged Nangong Xin around all day long. Today, I will go to Anlan Palace to worship Mazu and eat vegetarian food; tomorrow I will go to Zhulizhai to buy books, paintings, and solitary books; the day after tomorrow, I will go to the city to enjoy the mountains and water... Among them, I also eat all the famous restaurants and shops in the city. When looking for food suitable for long-term storage, Fu Yunyan just waved his arm and asked them to pack several copies, intending to bring them back to the capital as gifts to relatives and friends.

Nangong Yue looked envious, but Xiao Luan was getting married soon, even with Xiao Fei's help, she was too busy to get away.

Finally, she took a long time, just as Fu Yunyan wanted to go to the theater, so she went with them to the Cheng Family Theater.

In addition to being invited to sing at the banquets of those famous mansions, this Chengjiaban also plays in the Chengjia Theater in the city every few days on weekdays. With its reputation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard to get a ticket. . However, with the name of Bixiaotang, Nangongyue naturally got a few tickets easily. Fu Yunyan was so excited after each wonderful martial arts scene that he applauded, saying that the literary dramas in this royal capital were really boring.

After watching four scenes in a row, she reluctantly left with Nangongxin and Nangongyue, and she was still a little unfinished, and said, "Axin, Ayue, this Cheng Zisheng is really extraordinary. , look at his somersault, and the gun that makes..."

Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Anyway, you still have to stay in the southern border for some time. In a few days, let's ask Sister Shangxia to come together."

Fu Yunyan responded with a smile.

During the conversation, the three of them left the theater and saw a familiar figure walking towards them in front of them.

"Ayi!" Nangong Yue greeted her with joy, Xiao Yi took advantage of the situation to hold Nangong Yue's plain hand without hesitation, showing a bright smile.

"Ayi, here you are. Let's go have some lunch together." Nangong Xin suggested with a smile.

Xiao Yi replied with a smile: "Just in time, let's find a place to sit down and talk... This morning, I received a biography from the flying pigeons from the capital."

He said it vaguely, but the other three people present knew that the biography of flying pigeons should be about "chunwei".

In an instant, the originally laid-back atmosphere became a little dignified, only Xiao Yi still had a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, making Nangong Xin unable to see whether it was good news from the Royal Capital or...

It is not convenient to speak here, so Xiao Yi casually mentioned a sentence, saying: "After the uncle handed over the memorial, the emperor has not heard back. Since six days ago, he has been kneeling in front of the imperial study... Today should be the seventh It's day."

indeed.

It is already the seventh day.

After leaving the morning court, Nangong Qin still knelt outside the imperial study, begging to see the emperor.

In the imperial study, it was quiet at the moment, only the emperor occasionally made a "chacha" sound when he was reading the memorial, the sound of putting down the pen, the sound of pondering... The atmosphere was slightly solemn.

Eunuch Liu waited for the pen and ink. After hesitating and hesitating, seeing that the emperor was just finishing his pen, he cautiously said: "Your Majesty, Lord Nangong is still outside, and has been kneeling for more than two hours. Would you like to meet?"

The emperor took another memorial, and while reading it, he said softly: "I know that he is for Xiaowu, but Chunwei is the pillar of the chosen country. Since the matter is big, how can you change the question if you change it."

The emperor's tone was almost sighing, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or talking to Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu has been serving the emperor closely, and he understands the emperor's many frustrations best, and agrees: "The emperor is right. Spring is very important."

The emperor closed his eyes and ordered, "Huairen, let Lord Nangong go back."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu respectfully obeyed, and followed him out of the imperial study to spread the word.

Nangong Qin Zheng, who was still wearing a court dress, knelt with his back straight and kneeled under the eaves of the imperial study. When Eunuch Liu came out, he looked up at him.

Eunuch Liu sighed helplessly, bowed and said, "Lord Nangong, the emperor said it, please come back."

Nangong Qin's expression was gloomy. Ever since he handed over the memorial, the emperor had been avoiding him. Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, he had no choice but to use the stupid method of kneeling. But sure enough, day after day it was still unsuccessful.

After a while, Nangong Qin finally stood up with difficulty and said politely, "I'm bothering father-in-law."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left under the guidance of a small servant. He didn't know if he had been kneeling for a long time. His back and steps were slightly stiff when he left.

After Nangong Qin walked several dozen feet away, he couldn't help but look back in the direction of the imperial study with a complicated expression.

Now half of the people in the court and the opposition have requested the emperor to change the prince. It is obvious that the princes of Shunjun and Gong are uniting for a common enemy, and they want to force the emperor to make up his mind.

This time, A Yi clearly handed over a good idea. As long as the emperor follows the trend, he will be able to turn the tide, but the emperor is still reluctant to make up his mind to this day. Although there is indeed something wrong with Chunwei's temporary change of the question, the right of the two evils is the lesser... The descendant is the orthodox, no matter what, I must fight again!

Seeing him stop, the little servant shouted remindingly, "Lord Nangong..."

Nangong Qin smiled apologetically and continued to walk forward. After walking out of a palace gate, he saw a couple in front of him walking towards this side surrounded by a group of palace servants. The young man at the head was dressed in purple brocade robes with purple gold on his head. Guan, it seems that Feng Shen is handsome, and it is Han Lingfu, the king of Gongjun.

And the young woman beside him was wearing a bright red dress, her face was radiant, obviously it should be the new Princess Gongjun. Looking at the direction they came from, it seemed that they had just come from the harem.

After Nangong Qin saluted the two of them, they continued to go outside the palace.

On the other side, Han Lingfu walked forward as if nothing had happened, his eyes half drooping, a little dark and unclear.

He had long heard that Nangong Qin had come to kneel and beg outside the imperial study every day for the past few days, and his father had kept it a secret.

What is Nangong Qin thinking? !

Han Lingfu's fists were clenched in his sleeves. Based on his knowledge of the Nangong family, the people of the Nangong family were all pedantic people who didn't know what to do, so maybe they wanted to support the Fifth Emperor again!

Although the Nangong family is quite prestigious among the Shilin students, since they don't know what to do, they are always reluctant to support themselves, and they still want to be right with themselves, so they should just be ruined.

I can't give it to the Fifth Emperor for nothing!

Han Lingfu's mood was ups and downs, and his steps inevitably sped up a little, so that the Princess Chen, who was next to him, fell behind half a step and called softly, "Your Highness..."

Han Lingfu suddenly came back to his senses and smiled softly at Chen Shi, which made people feel like a spring breeze, and Chen Shi's face was dyed with a glow.

The two got married yesterday. Today, they came to the palace to greet the empress according to the rules. Naturally, they entered the palace early in the morning, but it was not until just now that the emperor let someone say that there was time to enter them.

After the announcement, the two entered the imperial study, and bowed three times to the emperor. The emperor gave a few words of admonition at will, and then rewarded the new daughter-in-law. After that, Han Lingfu and the Chen family left the palace gate.

After Mrs. Chen got on the Princess Zhu's carriage, Han Lingfu turned on his horse, and the chariots and horses were escorted by several guards from the Prince's Mansion all the way to Prince Gong's Mansion.

stomping on...

Han Lingfu, who was riding the horse in the wind, couldn't help but think of Nangong Qin's incident again. This matter can't be delayed any longer... A stern look flashed in his eyes.

Boom!

Suddenly, his heartbeat accelerated by two beats... He couldn't help frowning slightly, but then his heartbeat returned to normal, as if the abnormality just now was just his hallucination, but his throat was a little dry, which made him want to go to Xiao'er. , Drinking a bowl of hot soup stewed by Xiao'er, the body and mind can relax naturally, as if there are no worries.

Last night was his and Chen's wedding night, so I couldn't go to Xiao'er to rest, let's go again tonight...

Thinking about it, he couldn't wait, his tongue subconsciously licked his dry lips, and his breathing seemed to be a little short. He caught his belly and quickened his speed.

After a stick of incense, they arrived at the Gongjun Palace and went straight into the main courtyard.

The two side concubines were there early, waiting to kowtow to the princess of Xinjun and offer tea.

It was not as turbulent as when offering tea to Cui Yanyan, but this time the tea offering went very smoothly. Han Lingfu, who was on the side, looked at the harmony between his wife and concubine. He was smiling all the time, but that smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, and the unwillingness in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, clamoring for it to erupt...

Yesterday, when the new princess entered the door, she knelt down to greet her, and today she is going to kneel and serve tea in public again, and suffer the humiliation of kneeling.

One day, she wants them all to pay double for the humiliation she suffered today!

Bai Muxiao's eyes drooped slightly, but the smile on her face became more elegant.

After the tea was served, Han Lingfu casually explained to Chen Shi, and Han Lingfu, who had an appointment with someone, hurriedly went out.

There were only three women left in the house.

Chen Shi was still smiling for a moment, but when he picked up the tea cup the next moment, his smile had turned cold, and he glanced sharply at the two side concubines.

Although the clothes are stunning, Chen shi did not pay attention to it. She has already inquired about it, or, in other words, who in the palaces of this capital does not know that Prince Gong and this white side concubine have been arguing since before their marriage. Entanglement... So far, the princesses of the county have changed their terms, but the prince Gong's love for this white side concubine is no less than before, and it is even rumored that Cui Yanyan was mad at this!

But she will never be as stupid as Cui Yanyan. She is a dignified princess, is she afraid that she will not kill a side concubine? !
