Chapter 1388 693 Daughter

"Ayi, which horse did you choose last?" Nangong Yue asked thoughtfully.

"Deller's house."

Xiao Yi's answer was replaced by Nangong Yue's puzzled eyes. She really knew very little about Nan Liang.

Even if she has a heart, it's a pity because she doesn't understand Nanliang language, and although Gardenia knows some Taiyu dialect, she is only half a bucket of water. Besides, Gardenia is just a little palace maid who knows everything about Nanliang. Also very shallow.

Nangong Yue was about to sigh, thinking of Baihui and the others deeply. With them here, she wanted to know something. If she gave her an order, they would naturally find out for her, and they would often give her some unexpected surprises... ...It's not like she's in Nanliang now, she's really helpless with no one available.

At the same time, Xiao Yi carefully explained to his concubine: "There are three major horse merchants in Nanliang. In addition to the ancient merchants who are the imperial merchants, there are also the Dele family and the Mori family who came to present horses this time. The Gu Na family, relying on their status as royal merchants to supply horses to the Nanliang army, overwhelmed the other two to death. Now that the Nanliang kingdom has fallen, the ancient family has an embarrassing position and has been kept away by many merchants. Therefore, in just half a year, it was There is a faint momentum of being caught up by the Dele family."

Nangong Yue frowned slightly as she played with the jade carving in her hand thoughtfully.

Xiao Yi didn't like to see Nangong Yue frowning. He told her this just because she asked, so he replied, that's all, he didn't want her to make suggestions, and he didn't want her to worry.

He raised his right arm, stretched out two slender and beautiful fingers to smooth the tangle between her brows for her, and reassured: "Ayue, since Xiaobai said it was an accident, then treat it as an accident..."

As he spoke, he pressed his entire right palm on Nangong Yue's forehead, exerting a slight force to make Nangong Yue lean back into his arms.

His chin was pressed against the top of her hair, and his tone was casual, but in those beautiful peach blossom eyes, there was a bit of coldness, two points of sharpness, and three points of killing intent.

Nangong Yue couldn't see his expression, so he heard him say in a gentle voice, "Ayue, if you frown again, be careful that our nannies like to frown when they were born." As he spoke, a soft voice appeared in his mind. The little girl frowned seriously, and to be honest, she was quite cute.

After Xiao Yi said this, Nangong Yue hurriedly raised her brows, and the little couple looked at each other silly and smiled.

Hearing that Xiao Yi was always full of daughters and daughters, Nangong Yue couldn't help but said, "Ayi, what if it's not a daughter..."

Having children and having children is not something they can decide with empty words.

Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly, he couldn't imagine that there would be a stinky boy coming to snatch Ah Yue from him, and this stinky boy could act coquettishly at Ah Yue, be held in his arms by Ah Yue, take good care of...enjoy Xiao Yi's whole face turned dark with the treatment he had never enjoyed before, and he emphasized, "I said it was nan-nan, it was nan-nan!"

Nangong Yue frowned speechlessly, trying to tell his son's advantages: "Ayi, Nan Nan is going to get married." And the son can stay by his side.

Although Nangong Yue didn't say the second half of her sentence, Xiao Yi understood her unfinished words and said disdainfully: Yes, the stinky boy has grown up, and he still has to stay at home!

Still a good daughter!

Xiao Yi's thoughts became firmer, and he said, "Who said that we are going to get married? Why is my precious daughter Xiao Yi getting married? It's just a matter of recruiting!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. As long as he recruited nan-nan, he could stay in Bixiaotang forever.

Yi is in a whim again. How many men who are willing to join the family can match their daughters? ! Nangong Yue's brows twitched again, and she felt as if she had started a not-so-good topic. A Yi always said that wind is rain, and he often took things that shouldn't be taken seriously.

Xiao Yi kept talking: "The world is really boring, what to get married, what to get married, what to inherit the incense, I see, as long as the two love each other, everything is a small matter. If it is me, for Ayue you, even if it is a marriage, it doesn't matter. of!"

While he was talking, he also seized the opportunity to show his loyalty, making it difficult for Nangong Yue to say anything, and he was almost worried. His daughter seemed to be worried about getting married before she was born.

Nangong Yue tried weakly to turn the tide: "Ayi, the reason why they let their daughter be married is because there is no incense at home..."

"Isn't Nannan our incense?" Xiao Yi said excitedly, "In fact, a daughter is not worse than a son, just like Ayue, you are very capable. Our family Nannan will definitely inherit the advantages of the two of us. How many men can be compared to her?! As long as she has the ability, there is nothing she can't do, even the king of Zhennan can be!"

He said it casually, but after he said it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he became even more excited, "Ayue, Nanjiang has me in charge, and Xiaobai is her adoptive father. I said that our daughter can be Zhennan. King, she can be!"

This Taiyu, no, plus several generations of previous dynasties, there is still no female vassal king!

interesting! Xiaobai will definitely find it interesting!

Seeing Xiao Yilin's peach blossom eyes shining like obsidian, Nangongyue didn't know what to say, she wondered what she said wrong, so that her daughter had not yet been born and had to carry the heavy responsibility of Nanjiang.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but bowed her head and stroked her still flat stomach, silently apologized to her daughter in her heart.

Nan Nan, I'm sorry, but it's the mother who can't control your father... Wait, how could she be misled by Xiao Yi! Probably a son!

Xiao Yi languidly leaned back on the back of the chair, looking at Nangong Yue with joyful and tangled eyes from the corner of his eyes, his heart was occupied by a rippling warmth like a hot spring...

"Susususu..."

Under the scorching sun, the wind was hot, dry and stuffy.

For the first time, Xiao Yi, who was in a good mood, felt that the dull summer wind didn't seem so annoying anymore.

The weather is getting hotter day by day. A few days ago, Nangong Yue dared to sit in the water pavilion in the back garden during the day. In the past few days, she almost spent her day in the Moon Breathing Hall where several ice basins were placed.

Nangong Yue is afraid of the heat, but for Xiao Yi, the weather at the moment is still a long way from the hottest time in the southern border, and he goes in and out under the sun every day.

Although there are official words in charge of most of Nanliang's political affairs, since Xiao Yiren is here, he can't really let go. He still went to the barracks from time to time, met with generals from time to time, and had some military affairs to deal with from time to time... and the 3,000 good horses that had been purchased earlier were also quickly delivered to the barracks by the Dele family members three days later.

Each of the 3,000 secluded cavalry soldiers was assigned a horse. According to the requirements of the official language, all the secluded cavalry battalions must groom and feed their horses in person after training every day. First, let the horse adapt to the new environment. He also came here to let the horse get to know the new owner and accompany him to support his relationship.

Although it seems that there are extra things in the training, but every soldier in the Youqi battalion is in good spirits, and the preciousness of horses, whether it is the ordinary people of Dayu or their soldiers of the Southern Border Army, is very important. With deep experience, it is not an exaggeration to say that these three thousand horses are worth a lot.

More importantly, these war horses are still their partners, and they will fight side by side with them in the future to kill the enemy together. Even at the critical moment, their comrades may not be able to arrive in time, but their horses will always accompany them. beside...

It's just that this blood-simmering turmoil didn't last long. Soon, many soldiers of the Youqi Battalion found that the new horses seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Within two days, the horses became sick one after another, and the symptoms were not too serious. It looks like it's not acclimatized.

At first, I didn't pay too much attention to it, I just let the veterinarian come over to take a look. However, as time went by, the war horses that were not acclimatized did not recover, but there were a few more horses.

It is a trivial matter for a war horse to fall ill because of the environment, but it is strange that so many war horses have fallen ill in a short period of time.

I do not know since when, a rumor appeared in the army, saying that Marquis Anyi purchased sick horses as war horses in order to enrich his personal pockets.

It was Xiao Yi's decision to purchase war horses from the Dele family that day, but in the rumors, it became the Hou Anyi who insisted on purchasing horses from the Dele family.

This statement was only circulated in a small area at first, but gradually, for some reason, almost the whole army heard about it. Those soldiers who had followed Guan Yubai to defend Yanding City and beat Yongjia City were nothing more than that. They still knew Guan Yubai as a man and did not believe the rumors.

However, the soldiers who were recently transferred from Luoyue City were very unfamiliar with the official language. These rumors came from among them, and as the rumors became more and more intense, a feeling of resentment and dissatisfaction was in their hearts. breed...

In this regard, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai did not see any comfort and explanation.

Both of them seemed to stay out of the matter, and ignored the matter at all, allowing the rumors to continue to ferment in the army.

Meng Yiliang, who was in charge of military horse affairs, followed the veterinarian worriedly to see the sick horses, and shook his head and sighed when he came out.

Afterwards, Meng Yiliang went to plead guilty to his son Xiao Yi, saying that he had failed to perform his duty, so that a large number of the military horses he purchased fell ill...

Hearing the report, Xiao Yi evoked a smile and said, "This prince really gave him a high look."

Guan Yu teased Han Yu who was standing on the arm of the armchair with a smile, and said, "General Meng didn't seem to be trying to give the Dele family a chance to offer horses, but I misunderstood."

On that day, when he was frightening the horse, Guan Yubai discovered that the white horse should have been fed with licorice grass. This grass is very similar to the hay that horses eat on weekdays. They are mixed and fed, and basically they will not be seen. from.

Licorice will not cause substantial harm to horses, but when the horse's body temperature rises, it will become more excited and even irritable.

To test a horse, you need to run, the body temperature of the horse will naturally rise, and it is natural for the shock to occur.

On the surface, it seems that someone deliberately led them to choose the horse of the Dele family, but Guan Yubai felt that the matter might not be so simple, so he ended the shocking horse with an accident and planned to wait and see.

Unexpectedly, there really was a "change".

"Ayue is right." Xiao Yi smiled and said casually, "This General Meng's picture is not too small..."

Although he was smiling, there was a sharp edge in his eyes.

No matter what Meng Yiliang planned, he dared to attack Xiaobai, don't blame himself for disregarding his grandfather's friendship with these old subordinates.

Xiao Yi leaned back on the armchair and looked out the window.

Nanliang in June is the blazing sun. I don't know how long Meng Yiliang can kneel on his knees. He wants to learn from others' "loyal ministers' straight advice", so how can he not "complete" him? !

Meng Yiliang, who was outside the Sunlight Hall, was dizzy on his knees. He had reached the age of knowing the destiny. Although he was well maintained on weekdays, he was not as good as the young man. He will come over to comfort him in person, and he can also take the opportunity to advise, so that the prince can see his loyalty.

did not expect……

Lord Shizi actually made him kneel all the time!

Meng Yiliang felt resentment in his heart, but now he is kneeling here in the name of apologizing. Unless the prince sends someone to invite him, he can only kneel.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and Meng Yiliang was dripping with sweat. He probed to look at the Sunyao Hall. Although the door of the hall was closed, he knew that Marquis Anyi must be inside! It must be An Yi Hou Qiaoyan, who coaxed the prince.

What a traitor!

Meng Yiliang thought angrily, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his face.

Now, he can't step down a bit...

It's just that if the sun goes on like this, he may not be able to hold it anymore... By the way, Meng Yiliang's thoughts moved, her body crooked, and she fell down.

The matter of Meng Yiliang's fainting was quickly reported to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi sneered and said slowly: "General Meng is very old, the sun is shining outside today, go pour him a bucket of cold water, cool down. I just said that this prince is grateful for his loyalty to the Lord, and can't bear to let his loyalty go to waste, so I won't call him up."

After saying that, Xiao Yi waved his hand.

"Yes, Lord Shizi!"

The soldier led the order to retreat without mentioning it, and said with a white smile, "Ayi, you don't have to vent your anger for me."

Xiao Yi laughed unbridled, "Didn't he want to be loyal and famous, this prince has fulfilled him. Let's not mention this..." He changed the subject and said, "Those maids from Ah Yue should be here these two days. , I asked Zhu Xing to prepare some good tea and bamboo wine, and I'll bring it to you later..."

Xiao Yi expected that, on the same day, Baihui and his party arrived at Wuli City smoothly.

When Gardenia replied back and forth with blunt Dayu words, Nangong Yue's face lit up with joy, but she was not surprised.

On that day, she and Xiao Yi traveled all the way to the mountains and waters, and it took them ten days to get to Wuli City. If you speed up the horse, it usually takes seven or eight days. If you count the time, they should be there in the next few days. .

Soon, a palace maid led the two maids.

Along with Baihui, there was Queer. Both of them looked like servants of the past. When they thought that Nangongyue was pregnant but in Nanliang, a place she didn't know well, and there was no one around to serve, The two maids were furious.

This time, they went all the way, and both of them were tired. Baihui seemed to be better, and there was already a dark shadow under Que'er's eyes.

This tiredness disappeared the moment he saw Nangong Yue.

Que'er was refreshed, and she couldn't hold back her excitement and shouted, "Prince Prince!"

She accelerated her steps excitedly, and while salute Nangong Yuefu, she looked at Nangong Yue's abdomen with burning eyes.

Begging for the stars and looking forward to the moon, the imperial concubine finally has a small grandson!

If I had known that Concubine Shizi would go out with Shiziye alone, they would have descendants, and Shiziye and Shizifei should have come out for a walk long ago.

Baihui, who was one step behind, was not in a hurry, and looked at Nangong Yue calmly from the back. Seeing that her complexion was good, and her cheeks even became a little plump, she finally felt relieved.

Queer chatted with Nangongyue about trivial matters. For example, this time she drew lots with Thrush and Ying'er, and then she got the chance to come to Wuli City, while Thrush and Ying'er stayed in Bixiao. The housekeeper... made Nangong Yue laugh.

During the conversation, Baihui walked to Queer's side, Queer glanced at Baihui, returned rationally, stuck her tongue out, and took a half step back.

"The slaves and maids greet the prince." After Baihui bowed respectfully, she began to report the business in an orderly manner, "Prince Prince, the servants specially brought some things you often use according to the instructions of the prince, as well as other items. Some herbs..."

Queer smiled and said, "Concubine Shizi, don't worry, Lord Shizi also ordered to bring the best doctor in Luoyue City with you, so don't worry about everything, just take care of your baby."

In the letter Xiao Yi sent to Luoyue City, he devalued those imperial doctors in Nanliang as worthless, and specially asked Zhu Xing to find the best doctor and ask Baihui and the others to bring them together. And Baihui specially prepared a large carload of medicinal herbs, and brought most of the commonly used medicinal herbs she could think of.

What else can Nangong Yue say, these days she has been too careful to deal with Xiao Yi, who is already the top two.

In addition to this "helplessness", there is more joy in her eyes.

With Baihui and Queer, her life will definitely be much more comfortable. These two girls have served her for so many years, and they are very clear about her preferences. Sometimes, she doesn't even need to say anything more. Expression, these girls all know what she means.

In contrast, the maids in Nanliang Palace treated her respectfully, but were mostly sincere and fearful, often making Nangong Yue feel like an executioner who killed people without blinking an eye.

Baihui continued: "The lord was very happy when he learned that Concubine Shizi was pregnant, and said that it was the most important thing to let Shiziye and Concubine Shizi not rush back to Luoyue City, and the most important thing was to have the baby sit firmly. Concubine, don't worry about the trivial matters in the mansion, Concubine Wei is in charge of it temporarily."

Nangong Yue was also impatient to take care of the internal affairs of the palace, and just wanted to take care of the Bixiao Hall, so she replied lightly.

"Prince Prince, it's even better if you're not in the palace..." Que'er said meaningfully from the side.

As soon as Nangong Yue heard it, she knew there was something in Que'er's words, and raised her eyebrows to ask.

Queer said excitedly: "Prince Concubine, the person sent by the lord to Xing'an City to inquire about Miss An San came back not long ago. The lord seemed very satisfied, so he instructed Concubine Wei to prepare the things he had set, and to ask for Ansan's marriage. The daughter is the successor."

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She originally thought that Xiao Yi would leak the bottom of the An family when King Zhennan sent someone to investigate. Now it seems that Yi does not want to end this matter so easily.

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's brows were dyed with a smile, and she took it as a joke.

She picked up the teacup on the side to moisten her throat, and asked, "Baihui, what's going on in the palace recently?" Otherwise, Concubine Wei should help Xiao Fei's housekeeper.

A look of complexity flashed in Baihui's eyes, and then she replied, "Princess Shizi, Mrs. Fang's 'illness' got worse a few days ago. When the slaves left from Luoyue City, they heard that she had been in a coma for several days..." Looks like he'll be dying soon.

After a pause, Baihui continued: "The eldest girl asked her to go to the temple to pray for her mother, the lord promised." Speaking of Xiao Fei, Baihui's expression was inevitably a little solemn... Unfortunately, no one can choose their own birth mother.

Nangong Yue was silent, feeling a little embarrassed in her heart, and felt heartache for Xiao Fei at the same time.

With Xiao Fei's intelligence, she must have guessed what Xiao Fang's "disease" was.

Mrs. Fang is Xiao Fei's biological mother. The blood of the mother and daughter can't be broken, but Mrs. Fang committed an unforgivable crime, making Xiao Fei unable to intercede for her, and now Xiao Fei can only pass In this way, filial piety to the mother.

It's really embarrassing for Sister Fei.

Speaking of Xiao Fei, even the two maids were silent for a while. The room was silent for a while, and the air was a little dignified...

Baihui didn't want Nangong Yue to be worried, so she changed the subject and said, "Concubine Shizi, the second aunt and grandmother ordered the servants to send a letter to Concubine Shizi."

Saying that, Baihui took out a letter from her sleeve and presented it to Nangong Yue.
