Chapter 1389
As soon as she heard that it was Fu Yunyan's letter to her, Nangong Yue couldn't wait to open the letter and couldn't help but smile.
This is Fu Yunyan's letter, but it is the handwriting of his elder brother Nangong Xin.
Nangong Yue could almost imagine the scene where her brother was sitting at the desk and writing, while Fu Yunyan was dictating with his hands behind him, and the wife sang and the husband followed.
In the letter, Fu Yunyan first congratulated her with joy, and told Nangongyue to take care of her baby with peace of mind. She also said that she would help organize Han Qixia's small ceremony, so that Nangongyue should not worry about these matters, just go out. Be lazy and take a break.
At the end, Fu Yunyan jokingly added that if Nangong Yue gave birth to a son, and she gave birth to a daughter in the future, the two of them could kiss each other.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing after seeing the letter, and her originally gloomy mood was much more relaxed.
After reading it twice, she put away the letter and said to Baihui and Que'er, "You two are tired and exhausted. Hurry up and rest."
Baihui and Queer smiled and said, "Thank you, Concubine Shizi."
Then the two maids withdrew.
Nangong Yue had eaten her lunch and walked around the garden for half an hour to digest her food. She felt tired and planned to go back to the inner room to take a nap.
After picking up the curtain and entering the house, she was dumbfounded, and unconsciously stopped at the curtain, and all the sleepy bugs flew away in an instant.
After so much work, the interior has changed a lot.
A beauty couch was placed by the window, the mattress was remade, and a lot of furnishings were changed... At first glance, she almost suspected that she had returned to Bixiao Hall, familiar and comfortable.
If you take a closer look, you will find that there are still three or four points of difference between this place and the house in Bixiaotang.
In the inner room, Baihui, who had just made the bed, turned around and bowed respectfully to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue looked at Bai Hui who had changed into a Nan Liang dress and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to rest?"
Baihui smiled slightly and said, "Prince Shizi, the servants have already rested." Unlike Queer who has never slept peacefully when she went out, Baihui's experience has been complicated since she was a child, and she has long been trained to sleep with her eyes closed. ability. Furthermore, she is a martial artist, and her foundation is always much stronger than Nangong Yue and Que'er.
Nangong Yue scrutinized the inner room again, and couldn't help but remember what Bai Hui had been saying before that she brought some of her frequently used things. At that time, Nangong Yue thought it was just some small objects, but now, looking at the familiar furniture in this room, she understood in her heart. I am afraid that this time Baihui and Queer brought several big carts of things!
She was amused and helplessly gave Baihui a sideways glance, but this girl has learned to avoid the heavy and take the light.
In this way, the so-called "some medicinal materials" will not be too small.
This time, Nangong Yue saw many familiar objects, such as her bronze mirror, several storybooks she hadn't read yet, and her usual teacup...
All these little bits and pieces were brought here.
Nangong Yue almost sighed, and realized once again that Xiao Yi was really nervous.
There are still more than seven months to come, if A Yi has been like this, he will have a hard time.
Nangong Yue thought both sweetly and a little annoyed, her eyes suddenly stopped, she saw a strange object placed on the table beside the beauty's couch, and walked over curiously.
Baihui followed Nangong Yue's line of sight and said, "Prince Prince, this is what Mrs. Fang asked the servant to bring..."
During the conversation, Nangong Yue sat down on the beauty couch, and then picked up the celadon jar with the big mouth and the palm of the hand on the table.
"Mr. Fang said that the first princess liked to eat this kind of green plum the most when she was pregnant with Shizi, so I asked my servant to bring you a few jars." Baihui said, and quickly put a big welcome pillow on Nangong Yue. behind.
I heard that Mrs. Fang specially brought it to me, Nangong Yue hurriedly opened the jar, took the silver spoon handed over by Baihui, and scooped a green pickled green plum into her mouth...
very sour……
It was so sour that she couldn't help squinting her eyes, but it made people feel refreshed, sour, sweet, fragrant...
She smiled and rolled her eyes, leaning against the pillow behind her habitually, only to feel comfortable all over.
Nangong Yue let out a long sigh of relief, only then did she relax, and she felt at ease as if she was in Bixiaotang.
This comfort is not derived from the environment and furnishings, but because of people.
Although the maids in the Nanliang Palace served with all their hearts, they were not as thorough as Baihui and Queer. The maids here were a little sluggish because of their observance of the palace rules. In addition, they were afraid of her, and they were restrained in doing things. What's more, they don't know her habits at all.
While thinking about it, Baihui poured her water again and put the teacup into her hands.
Nangong Yue slumped lazily on the beauty's couch, looked at the book, ate snacks for a while, and drank tea for a while, enjoying herself.
When Xiao Yi came back and saw the greatly changed inner room, he guessed that someone from Luo Yue City must have arrived, and the corner of his mouth twitched, quite satisfied.
Seeing Xiao Yi coming back, Baihui saluted and left spontaneously, only to hear what the Shizi said to Shizi, your flowers and birds are doing a good job.
Baihui's brows twitched as if she didn't hear it.
After Xiao Yi sat down on the beauty couch, he put the things in his hands on the table.
He would go out in person almost every day to buy some Nanliang's desserts and come back for her to try, and Nangong Yue had long been accustomed to it.
The dessert this time is a kind of Nanliang glutinous rice with a sweet fruit and a little coconut pulp. Nangongyue thought it was weird at first glance, but when I tasted it, it actually tasted good.
After Nangong Yue ate half of it, the rest went into Xiao Yi's belly.
The prince of Zhennan, who liked sweets, vaguely asked for credit while eating: "...Ayue, I have already found a craftsman to build a carriage. Although Nanliang is a barbarian land, the craftsman's craftsmanship is good and unique. The craftsman said that we can try to reduce the vibration of the carriage, and it will be much more comfortable to sit than a normal carriage. When we go back, we will ride in this carriage."
What Nangong Yue hadn't considered, Xiao Yi had already considered it. What else could she say, she could only answer obediently.
Xiao Yi gently touched Nangong Yue's still flat abdomen, put his palm on it for a while, and asked, "Ayue, when will we move?"
Nangong Yue recalled the medical book and said unsurely, "About four months."
"When Nan Nan can move, then she should be able to hear our voices, right?" Xiao Yi asked again.
"Maybe." Nangong Yue replied casually.
Xiao Yi automatically ignored the uncertainties in Nangongyue's words, his eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully, "Ayue, wait until then, shall I read the military book to Nannan?"
Nangong Yue is happy that Xiao Yi is willing to read books for her daughter, but why is it a military book?
She blinked, and suddenly thought of Xiao Yi's joke that he wanted to train a queen. He wouldn't take it seriously, would he?
Nangong Yue had a bad premonition in her heart.
Ayi has always liked to cheat people, but this time, is he going to "hack" their daughter?
Xiao Yi hugged her with a smile, and said happily, when his daughter grows up, he will teach her to bow, horse, ride, shoot, map sand table... Hearing Nangong Yue's brows twitching, she is extremely powerless.
Xiao Yi laughed even more. It was a good day like this. He didn't want his stinky girl to hurt his mind.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly when he thought of the flying pigeons that came from the capital one after another these days.
Speaking of Wangdu, the fraud case is still fermenting and intensifying. From those students to ordinary people, the matter is being discussed in the streets and alleys, and there is a faint trend of getting out of hand.
In this heavy atmosphere, several university scholars who were ordered by the emperor to recheck the examination papers worked day and night to spend three days re-evaluating all the examination papers, re-ranking them, and reporting them to the emperor.
The result of the review made the emperor finally slightly stretch his brows.
Compared with the previous list, except for the slight difference in the ranking of some candidates, the overall difference between the two scores is not big. Compared with the current section, the Huiyuan is still Jingzhou Huang Hetai. For example, the third and fourth places are exchanged for each other. Ranking, another example, two people who were originally at the bottom of the list fell off the list...
Such subtle differences, sometimes depending on the examiner's personal preferences, are almost negligible.
With a wave of the emperor's pen, he gave the Gongyuan a decree.
Early the next morning, when the students learned that the bulletin was reposted today, they all came and gathered at the gate of the Gongyuan.
In the eyes of the students who were about to burn with scorching heat, the little official who came to post the notice was inevitably a little nervous, and carefully posted a notice next to the original bulletin...
The students swarmed over like a tidal wave, and the people at the back pushed hard to the front, while at the same time asking others what was written on the notice.
Soon, someone in front shouted and read the notice... None of the students thought that after a few days of investigation, it would turn out to be such a result, the surroundings were quiet, and they followed the crowd and whispered:
"The notice says that the emperor has ordered several university scholars to review all the exam papers and confirmed that there is no favoritism and fraud in this year's main and auxiliary exams, so the list of exams will remain the same..."
"How could it be? ... This list is not quite right!"
"What's wrong?! The emperor won't cover up a few fraudulent examiners, right?"
"Yeah, yeah. It's not uncommon for so-called talents to fail the imperial examinations over the years. In previous years, there were also people who suddenly made a blockbuster during the examinations..."
"So, is there really no cheating?"
"..."
Many students seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water, their emotions calmed down, and a few students outside the crowd began to leave one after another...
At this moment, a slightly sharp male voice suddenly shouted: "No, impossible!"
The surrounding students followed the sound, and saw a young student in a blue scholar's robe walking out of the crowd, turned to face the students, and said in a righteous manner: "Everyone, listen to me! The younger brother thinks that this time the favor There must be some fraud in science!"
The students suddenly became agitated, their faces were uncertain, and no one in the crowd asked, "This brother, what's your basis?"
Seeing that the wind and waves that were about to calm down suddenly began to wave again, the little official's face was not very good-looking, he barely suppressed his impatience, and said in a high voice, "This son, don't be rude!"
"Of course I'm not lying." The blue-robed student glanced at the clerk contemptuously, and said loudly, "Brothers, please listen to what the younger brother has to say. Since ancient times, fraud in the imperial examinations has been banned repeatedly, but the methods of fraud have not been used for thousands of years. It is inseparable from the original, there are just such a few types: joint joints, gun substitution, fraud, entrainment, plagiarism, change of volumes, etc., joint joints are just the most common way."
What he said about "passing the joints" was actually the students taking the imperial examinations bribing the examiners to give them high marks on their exam papers in order to be named on the gold list.
Listening to what he said in an orderly manner, the other students nodded their heads frequently, with expressions of approval on their faces.
The blue-robed student continued: "Your Majesty is wise and ordered a few adults to recheck the test papers, which means that the fraudulent method of 'joint joints' has been ruled out, and the remaining methods such as spear substitution and fraud will only be occasional one or two. What the candidates did... This time Enke's list is so unfair, many talented people are named Sunshan, but those who have no poems and books in their stomachs are named on the gold list. If it is not 'connecting joints', then the reason is probably obvious. There's only one left..."
Everyone looked at him with bated breath and waited for him to continue talking, but he stopped short.
The surroundings became quiet, and there was no sound. Many people looked at their friends in disbelief...until one person shouted thoughtfully: "I understand, the question must be leaked by someone!"
This sentence seems to have dropped a bomb in the crowd, and the students exploded immediately and said in a loud voice:
"By the way, it's a leak!"
"Only if the examiner leaks the questions, can those bastards be helped by gods!"
"What kind of leak, I think it should be a 'sell' question!"
A student resentfully increased the volume on the word "sell", which made the surrounding students even more indignant. Yes, if it wasn't for "profit", why would those examiners leak the question? This is simply "selling the question". right!
The imperial examination was to select talents for the country, but it was turned into a tool for his personal gain by some eager for quick success.
Another middle-aged student sighed angrily: "It's insulting to Sven! It's really insulting to Sven!"
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and an explanation must be given to the students all over the world!"
"Yeah. We must find a way to ask the emperor to investigate and punish severely, and we must not let the wind of fraud disturb my Dayu officialdom..."
The students became more and more excited. The green-robed student in front looked around at everyone, raised his arms and shouted, "Sue the imperial court, let's sue the imperial court!"
A hundred calls.
The crowd was outraged.
Hundreds of students rushed towards the direction of the palace like a tide, like waves of waves slapping past, and finally gathered in the square in front of the palace gate, all kneeling and begging for orders...
The scene was spectacular.
This kneeling is a day and a night...
When it was dawn the next day, officials from the previous dynasty came to the palace gate one after another. Naturally, they all saw these students kneeling and begging for their orders. They talked a lot, and their hearts were quite complicated. They all realized that this time the Nangong family might not wonderful...
Many people sighed secretly. When they came to the Golden Palace, they found that the fifth prince Han Lingfan was also here. Why he came is self-evident.
Baiguan's eyes wandered between the Fifth Prince and Zhu Yushi, and in this strange atmosphere, the early court began.
Sure enough, Zhu Yushi played again, and played the students guessing that the examiner sold the question one by one to the emperor, asking the emperor to strictly investigate the case to lead the way, and the words were loud and powerful.
All the time, the examiners involved in leaking questions are all capital crimes, and there was an uproar in the whole dynasty!
Immediately, the fifth prince came out and fought with him, and there was another stormy sea in the court...
However, Nangong Qin, who was imprisoned in the sky prison at this moment, knew nothing about the outside world. He and the deputy chief Kao Li had not seen the sun for many days, and they could only know the day and night from the time when the food was delivered from the head of the prison.
The two adults are usually pampered, but this time they were locked in this dark cell, naturally they suffered a serious crime, but both of them knew that the situation was not at its worst, because they could still wear their outer robes. Sitting here, I haven't been stripped to the top of my shirt, nor shackled, and the conditions in this cell are not the worst, anyway, there is a bed, a table and a chair...
But the two of them are like standing on the edge of the bottomless cliff. As long as a strong wind blows, they will fall into the deep valley, and they will never end...
"Hey--"
Li Guyang, who was sitting at the table, sighed quietly, and in this silent and deep Heavenly Prison, the sigh became especially loud.
"I don't know what's going on outside..." Li Guyang seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Nangong Qin.
Nangong Qin in the next cell was sitting facing the wall, eyes closed, as if in deep thought.
Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at Li Guyang, and met the other's eyes, his eyes were heavy and helpless. They are locked in this prison, and there is nothing they can do about the situation outside.
Li Guyang said sternly: "Lord Nangong, I believe in the person of the lord, who is the taboo we recruited this time."
Nangong Qin Yi sighed and remained silent, saying that Li Guyang was also tired of himself this time.
Li Guyang looked at Nangong Qin thoughtfully, and said again: "Lord Nangong already has a guess, can you tell me..." Halfway through his words, Li Guyang frowned and changed his words hesitantly, "It's okay. I know too much, I'm afraid even my family can't keep it. My Li family has always been a pure minister and never involved in party disputes. I hope the emperor will take this into account and let them go back to their hometown. I hope my children from the Li family will never step into career..."
The more Li Guyang spoke, the more serious his tone became.
Nangong Qin could only comfortably say, "Maybe there is still room to turn around..." But his tone seemed so empty that even he couldn't convince himself.
Li Guyang gave a wry smile and asked, "Has Lord Nangong settled down?"
Nangong Qin nodded. At this moment, the sound of footsteps and the voice of the prison guard were faintly heard not far away, and the two fell silent.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a medium-sized prison head came in with a red lacquered wooden food container in one hand and a lantern in the other.
"Lord Nangong, Lord Li," the head of the cell greeted them politely, "I'm here to bring lunch to the two of you." After speaking, he put the food box on the ground outside the cell and took one out of it. The tray was then sent into the cell through the gap between the fence doors.
Nangong Qin took the tray, paused for a moment, and then calmly said thanks: "Thank you, Prison Zhang."
"Lord Nangong, the food is still hot, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." Chief Zhang smiled, and then took out another tray from the second layer of the food box and sent it to Lord Li. The adults exchanged a few words.
Nangong Qin's complex eyes stayed on the back of Prison Zhang for a moment, then picked up the tray and walked to the table and chairs in the corner of the cell. While putting down the tray, he looked down at the palm of his right hand, and there was a folded note in his palm.
This is what the head of Prison Zhang stuffed into his palm just now while he was delivering meals.
Nangong Qin couldn't help but glanced at the head of Zhang Zhang again. After the other party gave Master Li a meal, he left, and his back was quickly swallowed by the darkness of the cell...
Nangong Qin's expression was uncertain. The situation at the moment was so severe that if he took a wrong step, the entire Nangong Mansion would be doomed!
Nangong Qin blocked his movements with his body, and quickly opened the note. There were only a few words on the note, but his eyes suddenly widened.
This……
Could it be that someone wants to set up a situation to frame themselves? !
He thought intuitively, his right hand exerted a little force subconsciously, and looked at the note again, his eyes paused for a moment on the edge of the note, and then quickly folded the note back according to the original crease.
A bright red seal on the seal was as dazzling as blood, deeply imprinted in Nangong Qin's eyes...
This is the seal of the Prince of Zhennan.
In other words, this note was sent by his niece-in-law Xiao Yi, the life-saving policy of the Nangong family.
Nangong Qin's eyes changed a few times, his eyes darkened...
