Chapter 1386 691 Gifts

Mammy led Bai Muxiao to the east, and there was a little maid in front of them who picked the curtain for them.

With a clear sound of picking the curtain, a familiar male voice could be heard from the room: "...Ming'er, mother-in-law is not feeling well. Tomorrow, the king of Japan will accompany you back to your mother-in-law's house to visit mother-in-law."

Princess Chen's boudoir name is Chen Xiuming, and this "Ming'er" is called Chen's.

In this county prince's mansion, other than Han Lingfu, who would dare to call the Chen family like that? !

The corners of Bai Muxiao's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of mockery. It turns out that Han Lingfu is there!

"Thank you, my lord. Mother will be very happy knowing that." Chen shi replied in a docile manner, with a bit of flattery in her tone.

During the conversation, Bai Muxiao walked into the East Room and saw that Han Lingfu was sitting on the bed of Luohan with Chen Shi. There was only a small desk between the two. The couple seemed to respect each other like guests.

Bai Muxiao continued to step forward without showing any strangeness, first bowed respectfully to the two of them, and then thoughtfully kept her duty as a concubine while serving tea and water for the two of them, "Your Highness, Princess, please have some tea. ." She couldn't pick a single fault in her manner.

Chen was proud of himself and deliberately talked to Han Lingfu about returning to Chen's house tomorrow. Han Lingfu suppressed the reluctance in his heart, picked up the tea cup offered by Bai Muxiao to hide the impatience on the corner of his mouth, and pressed the irritability in his heart to continue talking to Chen. deal with……

After talking to Chen Shi about some trivial matters, Han Lingfu suddenly frowned, the heartbeat in his chest quickened by two beats, and a strong tiredness suddenly hit.

He wanted to rub his eyebrows, but he couldn't help yawning lazily.

Recently, he has always been in a state of low spirits, and has an indescribable discomfort. Han Lingfu couldn't help thinking: Maybe it's time to find an imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse...

Seeing the tiredness on his face, Chen Shi graciously said, "Your Highness, you must be tired just now." After speaking, she looked at Bai Muxiao and instructed lightly, "Sister Bai, don't you? Help the lord to rest!"

Chen's tone was very contemptuous, showing a sense of superiority, as if he was instructing a maid.

"Yes, Concubine." Bai Muxiao obeyed, without a trace of dissatisfaction.

Bai Muxiao left the main courtyard with Han Lingfu, and the two went all the way to Xinghuiyuan.

At this moment, the sun in the sky is still a bit hot, but there are many trees and plants in the palace of the county king, and the dense green shade covers most of the sun, and the surrounding looks remote and peaceful.

"Xiao'er, did you go to Nangong Mansion just now?" Seeing that there was no one around, Han Lingfu asked, "How is the current situation of Nangong Mansion?"

Bai Muxiao nodded and said with a sigh, "Your Highness, Nangong Mansion closed the door to thank guests, it's really pretending to be lofty." After a pause, a faint sarcasm flashed in her eyes, "I think they should come in a few days. I beg you, my lord."

Han Lingfu was not surprised and said, "The Nangong family has always been ignorant."

As he said that, Han Lingfu looked forward, the sunlight cast a mottled light and shadow in front of him through the dense shade of the trees, and there was a mysterious taste in the quietness.

"They haven't been cornered yet. In order to save face, they have to pretend to be lofty and maintain the so-called literati style, but when they know how powerful it is, they will naturally come to the door."

Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao tenderly, and said tenderly, "Xiao'er, don't worry, I have to repay you for the humiliation of the past!" Thinking of what happened back then, Han Lingfu flashed a hint of hatred.

Han Lingfu spoke affectionately, but Bai Muxiao knew clearly in her heart that even if Han Lingfu really wanted to take revenge, it was not for her, but for the humiliation of the Nangong family.

This man would also say something nice to make her happy.

But on the surface, Bai Muxiao looked moved and said, "Thank you for your kindness to Xiao'er."

Bai Muxiao raised her eyes to look at Han Lingfu affectionately, her eyes were like autumn water, like an orchid in an empty valley, making Han Lingfu unable to move her eyes.

"Xiao'er..." Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao madly, their eyes glued to each other, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

The maids and Xiao Lizi kept a distance from the masters wisely.

Han Lingfu couldn't help holding Bai Muxiao's hand, and was about to suggest that the two of them go for a walk in the garden, but a wave of tiredness struck again, and he couldn't help yawning twice.

Seeing this, a strange light flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, but she looked at Han Lingfu with concern and said, "Your Highness has been troubled by official business these days? Why do you have to take care of your own body!"

Han Lingfu yawned again and said nonchalantly, "I'm fine. Xiao'er, I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well in the palace for the past two days. What I miss most is the soup you made with your own hands, it's like eating it. It's like an addiction..." he said jokingly.

He originally said that the speaker had no intention, but after the words were spoken, his mind moved.

He seemed to be jolted violently, and his tiredness disappeared.

He suddenly remembered something. When Kuilang was discussing cooperation with him, he mentioned that Wuhe Paste could make Wuhuangdi addicted and couldn't help himself. Could it be... could it be that I am...

Han Lingfu's eyes flashed, these days, he used Bai Muxiao's own soup almost every day, and as long as he didn't use it for a day, he would be in bad spirits. This time, he was left in the palace and did not come back for two whole days, and the symptoms were even more obvious... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart. He has been used to forbearance and calmness for many years.

"It's good if the lord likes it. Then tonight Xiao'er will wash her hands and make soup for the lord, and thank the lord to vent her anger for Xiao'er." Bai Muxiao playfully blessed Han Ling with her blessed body, smiling beautifully, her whole body like jade human-like.

If it was on weekdays, Han Lingfu would look more and more affectionate, but at this moment, he was a little scared.

Bai Muxiao continued without noticing: "When the Nangong family is convicted, although the married daughter will not be implicated, I'm afraid my cousin Yue's life will not be easy." In the words, there was inevitably a trace of expectation. .

It was like the snow-white flowers were suddenly stained with dust.

Han Lingfu stared at the smile on Bai Muxiao's mouth without blinking.

The fine sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on the pair of people through the gaps in the shade of the trees, reflecting the two people's faces are half-bright and half-dark, revealing an inexplicable strangeness...

The weather in the capital was clear, the blue sky was cloudless, and in the far south, the capital city of Wuli, which was in the cool south, was also sunny, and it was three points hotter than the capital.

In the back garden of the Nanliang Palace, in a water pavilion that is transparent on all sides, crisp music revolves, mixed with rhythmic tambourines.

In the center of the water pavilion, a girl with honey-colored skin and a white magnolia dress was spinning her body gracefully and quickly, so fast, so steady, and so light, like a spinning top, and she seemed to be among the flowers and on the water. Dancing like a white butterfly.

As the music was loud, she was still spinning faster and faster, and the whole figure seemed to be flying.

After a rush of clanging strings, the music came abruptly, and the girl also stopped, her steps were still so steady, her eyes were clear, like a static sculpture, only the slight sweat on her forehead could I saw that she had danced wildly just now.

"Quiet like a virgin, moving like a jumping rabbit, wonderful!"

The crisp female voice sounded with a smile, and I saw a beautiful pink-clad woman sitting on the side of the water pavilion, with fair skin, which formed a sharp contrast with the honey-skinned dancer.

Xiao Yi, in an indigo robe, sat beside her, looked at her with a smile, fed her a plum from time to time, and was reluctant to look away.

Although the dancer didn't understand Dayu's words, but seeing the smile on Nangong Yue's face, she must be in a good mood, so she stepped forward, opened her skirt, and bowed slightly to thank her. That exotic face showed a generous smile to Nangong Yue, neither blushing nor panting.

Nangong Yue ordered Gardenia to reward the dancer with a few silver nudes, so she was taken away.

Nangong Yue watched the other party leave, and said with some emotion, "Ayi, with her ability, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it without ten years of hard work."

Their Taiyu dance is soft and slow, which is quite different from the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness of this Nanliang Dance. Therefore, Nangongyue sees this Nanliang Dance with a certain freshness.

Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously, and said casually, "Isn't it just a few laps? What's the problem?" As he spoke, he thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

Knowing that Xiao Yiru Nangong Yue guessed that he might want to "offer" a dance, she hurriedly tried to change the subject.

She was about to get up, but in the next instant, Xiao Yi stood up alertly, one step faster than her, just holding onto her arm and carefully helping her up.

"Ayue, are you going back to the Yuexi Palace?" He said earnestly.

Nangong Yue reluctantly pointed at the fuban on the west side of the water pavilion and said, "Ayi, I'm going there to feed the fish."

As she said that, her brows twitched. Since it was confirmed that she was pregnant, in the past few days, whenever Xiao Yi was by her side, he was like this, either hugging or supporting him, as if he was a fragile person. The enamel dolls are generally average, especially when she is in the house for the first two days, she has almost no chance to go to the ground.

In fact, when she first learned that she was pregnant, Nangong Yue, who was a mother for the first time, was also a little nervous, but after a few days, she has calmed down a lot.

She rode all the way from Nanjiang to Nanliang in good health. Apart from drowsiness, she had neither the nausea and vomiting described in medical books nor dizziness and fatigue. Obviously, the child is very healthy and well behaved.

Maybe she is a well-behaved daughter as A Yi thought.

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue couldn't help but curl up at the corner of her mouth, unable to hide her anticipation.

Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly, although he really wanted to say that he could hug her, but with A Yue's shy nature, he probably wouldn't want to hug her in broad daylight.

He also didn't want to challenge Ah Yue's limit, he still had to use water to make Ah Yue get used to it a little bit.

Xiao Yi secretly planned in his heart.

What the hell is this guy doing? ! Nangong Yue's brows twitched and she said, "Ayi, didn't you agree with the official yesterday that you want to go to see the horse? Hurry up." Nangong Yue said almost urgingly.

In order to purchase war horses for the Youqi Camp, the military began to select the major horse dealers in Nanliang since last month, and picked out a few.

Today, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai are going to visit in person to decide who to buy war horses from.

Xiao Yi pouted, thanks to his description of Zhang Li, otherwise, ordinary men would make goosebumps when they make this expression, but on his face they only looked pitiful.

How could he not know that Nangong Yue was deliberately changing the subject, but the matter of seeing the horse had already been agreed, so he couldn't temporarily let go of Xiao Bai's appointment.

Xiao Yi dawdled and walked back three steps.

Nangong Yue leaned against the bar to feed the fish, watching the koi swimming freely in the pond, even her heart calmed down, very leisurely.

After a while, a palace maid in a green dress walked over quickly and respectfully replied in jerky Da Yu language: "Prince Prince, the ancient family has sent a congratulatory gift." After speaking, the palace maid respectfully presented it with both hands. The gift list, "Prince Prince, this is the gift list."

Nangong Yue just raised her eyebrows slightly, without a trace of surprise on her face.

In the past few days, not only the ancient family, but the major families in Nanliang have sent congratulatory gifts one after another when they heard that the new owner of Nanliang's territory had come to Wuli City.

Nangong Yue took the gift list and looked at it casually.

Like other gift lists that have been sent recently, the gift list is written in Dayu's script. However, compared to the slightly awkward words sent by some people, the handwriting on this gift list is beautiful and correct, even if it is in Dayu, it can be regarded as a hand.

Thinking of that girl from the ancient family's standard and fluent Taiyu dialect, Nangongyue thought, it must be from the girl Lishaluo.

Nangong Yue quickly glanced over the gift list, and paused for a moment on a certain gift——

Kirin presents a jade carving.

The unicorn is a benevolent beast, symbolizing auspiciousness. According to the records of "Supplementary Notes", it is said that on the eve of Confucius's birth, a unicorn spit out a jade book in his home, which wrote "the descendants of the water essence, the decline of Zhou and the king of Su". Since then, there has been a saying of "Kirin sending children".

Thinking of the child in her womb, the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth curled slightly, this unicorn giving a child is a good metaphor.

"Show me this 'unicorn gifting child'." Nangong Yue ordered.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded.

In the past few days, the major families in Nanliang have not seen less gifts to the palace, but no matter how precious the gift is, the prince concubine just glanced at the gift list and made them store it. I didn't expect that today is for this. The ancient family made an exception.

Nangong Yue gave an order, and the palace servants naturally did not dare to neglect, and they opened the box at the fastest speed and brought the "unicorn sending son" jade carving.

The emerald jade carving with oily green is placed on the red velvet cloth, but it is the size of a fist, and the carving is very delicate. On the back of the unicorn sits a boy holding a lotus flower. The lines are smooth and delicate, and it captures the charm of both. The contrast between the unicorn and the naive boy looks very interesting.

This jade carving is extraordinarily delicate, whether it is a unicorn or a boy can see the unique rhythm,

The jade carving is as smooth and delicate as silk, full of water and full of fluorescence.

Jade Dragon Stone is a rare and rare treasure in jade, and naturally it is not something that can be obtained anywhere!

Nangong Yue thought of something, raised her eyes thoughtfully, and then picked up the emerald jade carving and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, looking at the size and water head, it should be the one that was opened in the jade market that day. Carved from dragon stone emeralds.

Unexpectedly, the girl from the ancient family still spent a lot of time.

Nangong Yue curled her lips slightly, a little smile flashing in her eyes.

The emerald and jadeite were confiscated that day because she was not short of good jadeite, but she liked this "unicorn gifting child" jade carving.

Seeing that Nangong Yue liked it, Gardenia bluntly said, "Concubine Shizi, this 'unicorn sending a child' is auspicious and pleasing, but do you want a servant to help you put it in the house?"

Nangong Yue nodded, grabbed it in her hand and appreciated it again.

After returning from Jade City that day, Nangong Yue asked someone about the Gu Na family, and knew that the Gu Na family was the largest royal merchant in Nanliang, and used to provide military horses for the former Nanliang army. It's just that since the collapse of the Nanliang Kingdom, the ancient family has also changed from a royal merchant to an ordinary merchant, and because of the fact that they once provided military horses for the Nanliang Army, even if Xiao Yi did not target them, their current status has also changed. A little embarrassed.

No wonder Lisha Luo deliberately arranged that encounter, and gave this gift with all her might.

I don't know if there is this ancient or that one among the horse merchants that came here today.

Speaking of horse selection, at this moment, the racecourse in the northwest corner of the Nanliang Palace is bustling with "horses".

A total of three horse dealers came today. They were selected after several rounds of screening, and each brought dozens of good horses.

At this time, there were at least nearly 200 horses in the racecourse, plus the head of the horse dealer and the soldiers of the Southern Border Army guarding the racecourse, making the racetrack very lively.

The arrival of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai immediately attracted everyone's attention. The three horse merchants all came in person as their families, and their faces couldn't hold back their anticipation and anxiety.

Now that the Nanliang Dynasty is dead, and the land of Nanliang has belonged to Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan The glory of the rise of the home.

"Master Shizi, this way please."

Meng Yiliang in armor respectfully followed Xiao Yi. For the past ten years, Meng Yiliang has been in charge of war horse matters in the Southern Border Army, including this selection, so today he also accompanies him to select horses.

At this moment, the horses of the three horse merchants have been surrounded by wooden fences, and they are clearly separated.

"Master Shi," Meng Yiliang said, pointing to a fence closest to the entrance, which contained about forty black horses, "This is a horse sent by the Gu La's family, and the fence in the middle is surrounded by morality. The horses of the Le family are the furthest away from the horses of the Aisi family. Lord Shizi, the Dele family has the best horse farm in Nanliang. As the saying goes, a good horse comes out of the lap. Look, Shizi, this Dele family has the best horse farm in Nanliang. The dark horse is well-proportioned, with strong limbs, and at first glance, it is a good horse with great strength and good running."

Meng Yiliang talked confidently and seized this opportunity to show his strengths in front of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi kept smiling, even Meng Yiliang could feel his good mood, and he said it even harder.

Xiao Yi responded casually, glanced around the racecourse roughly, turned to look at Guan Yubai and said, "Xiao Bai, let's take a look."

Guan Yubai naturally had no objection, and the two of them looked at the dozens of horses in the Gula family.

Today's three horse dealers can stand out in several rounds of screening, and their horses are naturally high-quality horses, and they are also qualified as war horses. But what Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai chose this time were not ordinary war horses, but to be used by the Youqi Camp.

This time, Guan Yubai plans to buy 3,000 good horses first.

After that, they will need more horses...

More war horses means burning money. Even if Xiao Yi has no idea about silver, he knows that although he has taken back the property given by his grandfather and has another silver mine under his name, he may not be able to keep up with the speed of burning money. .

Still have to find a way to open up a little bit of money...

Guan Yubai could see what he was thinking at a glance, and said with a smile: "When Nanliang's taxes come up this year, our money will be much easier."

tax? !

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up.

He was used to the hard life of being stretched thin, and he forgot that now is not as good as before. The land of Nanliang is already his, and the annual tax is a large amount of income, and it is more than enough to buy a few horses!

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said boldly, "Xiao Bai, you can choose, it doesn't matter if you buy them all!"

Guan Yubai smiled and shook his head.

While the two were talking, they slipped around the fence of Gula's house and came out again.

Meng Yiliang, who was at the side, saw Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were so familiar with each other, a gloom flashed on his face, but he quickly suppressed it again, and stepped forward and said, "Master Shizi, Lord Hou, in front is the Dele family. The horse..."

Meng Yiliang led the two into the second fence.
