Chapter 1425 730 Chips

The room was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

At this moment, Ying'er walked in quickly with a smile on her face, and said, "Concubine Shizi, Master Shizi is back, and he's bringing Mrs. Lin with him."

Nangong Yue was stunned for a while, then she smiled happily, thrush raised her food box and said, "Prince Concubine, that servant can take less trips."

After a while, Xiao Yi and Lin Jingchen walked towards this side together with a smile, and Xiao Yi could vaguely be heard saying with a smile: "...Grandfather, there is everything in Bixiaotang, as long as you come here... …”

Nangong Yue thought for a moment and guessed something. Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yi entered the room, he couldn't wait to say, "Ayue, my grandfather promised to come to Bixiaotang to celebrate the New Year with us."

"Grandfather!"

Nangong Yue tried to get up with Baihui's support, and greeted Lin Jingchen with a smile. While asking Lin Jingchen to sit down, she also glared at Xiao Yi.

Why did you invite your grandfather over to celebrate the New Year together? ! This guy said it nicely, but in fact it is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows at Nangong Yue, his smile even brighter, and he didn't mean to hide it.

These days, seeing Nangongyue's belly getting bigger and bigger day by day, which means that the day of the birth of the girl is approaching day by day, while Xiao Yi is looking forward to it, he is also more and more worried about whether Nangongyue will be in danger. Having a baby is like walking through the gates of hell...

I had a bad dream last night. After waking up in the middle of the night, Xiao Yi couldn't sleep anymore. Looking at Nangong Yue's sleeping face in the middle of the night, early in the morning, he took the opportunity to go out of the house to visit Lin Jingchen. Please come to Bixiaotang.

In this way, everyone can enjoy a good New Year together with peace of mind and lively. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? !

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi smugly cast a wink at Nangong Yue, thinking that he has done this very beautifully.

Seeing the frowning of the little children, Lin Jingchen stroked his long beard with a smile, and said with a smile, "Ayue, come, grandfather will give you a pulse."

Although Nangong Yue felt that she was fine, but since Lin Jingchen opened her mouth, she immediately stretched out her wrist obediently like a sheep, and the maids on the side couldn't help laughing a bit, probably even the prince could not let the prince show such a thing. Face it.

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became light and warm.

Lin Jingchen took Nangong Yue's pulse with concentration, and after three breaths, she withdrew her hand and nodded with a smile: "Yue'er, you are in good shape, but you still have to remember to move around more on weekdays, so that giving birth won't be too difficult. "

Nangong Yue has heard the truths said by her grandfather many times, and she knows it all, but since she was young, she has been busy, and she is getting heavier and heavier.

She smiled shyly and echoed: "Grandfather said yes, I have gained a lot of weight recently, and the next step is to eat less and move more."

Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue up and down, but he didn't think so.

From his point of view, Ah Yue didn't eat much at all, and besides her big belly, she didn't see any growth... But she still held back her words.

After all, having a child is not like fighting a war. He is a novice, and everything has to be obeyed by his grandfather.

"Grandfather," Xiao Yi flattered and poured water for Lin Jingchen, suggested, "Why don't you make a list for Ayue, stipulating what she eats every day, how much she eats, and how long she goes. What do you think, grandfather? I will. Just watch Ah Yue come according to your instructions." Anyway, from today onwards, he started to rest, just staring at Ah Yue every day.

The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, not knowing whether to say Xiao Yi "has an inch" or "a big talent".

She was about to say something, but who would have thought that Lin Jingchen would nod and agree, "Ayi is a good idea."

So Que'er immediately suggested cleverly: "Then the slave will go to prepare the pen and ink."

It was rare for the maids to think that Grandpa Shizi had come up with a reliable idea. With the list written by Mrs. Lin, they acted according to the list every day, and they felt at ease.

After that, everyone in the room was busy with enthusiasm, and even the list of dishes in Baihui’s hand that recorded the dishes of Bixiaotang these days was used as a reference for recipes, Xiao Yi occasionally interjected, giving I added some foods that Nangong Yue liked to the list, and I didn't forget to give Nangong Yue a congratulatory look.

Nangong Yue endured and endured, but was still amused by him, and burst out laughing.

When Han Qixia entered the room later, what she saw was such a lively scene, and she joined the crowd...

The next day is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, and New Year's Eve is also the last day of the year.

The servants were busy cleaning, pasting door gods, spring couplets, blessing characters, window grilles, and New Year pictures... By noon, the palace was completely new. In the evening, under the leadership of King Zhennan, everyone in the palace began to worship their ancestors. After that, the whole family sat down and had a New Year's Eve dinner. This year, the second and third rooms of the palace were divided. The atmosphere was more peaceful and lively.

This night, everyone watched the New Year together until the firecrackers of the New Year suddenly sounded in the middle of the night, announcing the beginning of the New Year...

On the first day of the new year, the younger generation in the mansion went to pay New Year's greetings to King Zhennan. On the second day of the new year, they went back to their parents' home and on the third day of the new year to visit relatives. However, because of Nangong Yue's weight, he did not go out with Zhou Roujia and Xiao Rongxuan, even the banquet guests of the palace. It was also omitted, so that Nangong Yue had a rare, clean and simple New Year.

For Nangong Yue, the New Year should be like this, with less rules, less etiquette, and just having fun with her relatives and friends.

Since the fourth day of the first year, people from various prefectures have come to visit.

In fact, according to Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue is a person who doesn't need to be seen or ignored, but as the mistress of the house, how could Nangong Yue be so reckless and pick up people to meet some, such as Zhou Roujia's mother Zhou, such as Mrs. Tian and Tian Madam wait.

This is the first time for Nangongyue and Xiao Yi to celebrate the New Year together, and it also allows her to truly see Xiao Yi's clinging skills. Except when Nangongyue goes to see a visiting female guest, Xiao Yi is really inconvenient. Almost inseparable.

On the fifth day of the fifth day, Xiao Yi's group of younger brothers made an appointment in advance to come to Bixiaotang to pay New Year's greetings. Fu Yunhe, Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun, Xu Che, Huang Ergongzi and more than a dozen people came together. .

There are not so many red tape in Nanjiang, so Nangong Yue followed Xiao Yi to meet these young sons.

When these young sons were together, they were always giggling, wishing Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue New Year's greetings at will, and calling them eldest brother and sister-in-law affectionately.

Everyone brought gifts for New Year's greetings. Those who brought dim sum boxes and bacon and deer breasts were considered ordinary. Some people gave a braised pig head known as the best in southern Xinjiang. Some people gave a wolf cub." You son of a bitch." Someone else brought the freshly hunted live geese, and was teased by a bunch of sons if they wanted to come to the eldest brother to propose marriage...

The Bixiao Hall was full of laughter and laughter, and even the surrounding air seemed to be cheered up because of their participation.

After the New Year's greetings, those young masters sat for a while, then left in twos and threes. Some said they were going to another place to pay New Year's greetings; They were in a hurry to find their fiancée, such as Fu Yunhe; there were also some people who had nothing to do anyway, and chatted leisurely for more than half an hour here at Xiao Yi, such as Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun.

But when the man was together, Nangong Yue was not interested in the topics they were talking about. It was either military affairs, alcohol, or riding and shooting... When they started talking about hunting, Nangong Yue had already considered whether it was time to go back to the house. Hiding for a while, but when I looked up, I happened to see a familiar slender figure walking into the yard. The visitor was wearing a moon-white robe and was completely clean. A little jeweled, followed by a little maid carrying a red lacquered wooden food container.

It's Sister Fay! Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Yi, Chang Huaixi, and Yan Xijun in the room also saw Xiao Fei, and they all raised their brows and had different expressions.

Xiao Fei came here naturally to look for Nangong Yue, and she was a little surprised to see Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun also there, but she continued to walk forward generously until she entered the house.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

She first blessed Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, and then greeted the two young masters.

"Young Master Chang, Master Yan."

The two young masters were a little embarrassed, and also got up to greet Xiao Fei: "Miss Xiao."

Chang Huaixi glanced at Xiao Fei quickly, with a stiff expression embarrassed to look directly at the other party, secretly blaming her mother Mrs. Chang in her heart.

Years ago, my mother and third sister Chang Huanwei came to Bixiaotang to meet the prince's concubine. After returning, my mother proudly told my father and him that he wanted to marry Mrs. Xiao for him, and what else did he say to the prince? The concubine made a clear statement, and only waited for Miss Xiao to pass the period of filial piety in the middle of the year... After that, even the third sister Chang Huanwei quietly followed him and told him that a mother does not necessarily have a daughter, she felt that Xiao Da The girl is very good, the meaning of the words can't be more obvious.

And Yan Xijun is not much better than Chang Huaixi. The stupid thing that Mrs. Yan, the mother-in-law, did during the banquet of the King of Zhennan that day had already spread among the southern provinces, and it was inevitable that it would pass into his ears, but, No matter how embarrassed or apologetic he was, he couldn't apologize to Xiao Fei for that incident.

Taoyao, who was following behind Xiao Fei, took all this into her heart, and said to herself: These two sons are true, they are not as generous as their own girls.

Nangong Yue, who was sitting at the top, raised her eyebrows slightly. She probably guessed what was going on, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Fei didn't notice that something was wrong with Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun. As soon as she saw Yan Xijun, she couldn't help but think of the other side's stupid dog. Although the dog was stupid, it was still likable, so she asked casually: " Young Master Yan, how is your eagle?"

Yan Xijun coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said, "It's good."

Then, there is nothing to say.

Xiao Fei and Yan Xijun were not familiar with each other, that is, they just greeted Ying Ying casually, and then ignored him and smiled at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue: "Brother, sister-in-law, I just made some dumplings and brought them to you. Try it."

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is commonly known as Po Wu. According to the custom, dumplings are eaten.

But Xiao Yicai didn't believe that Xiao Fei could make any edible food, so he frowned.

Seeing this, Chang Huaixi hurriedly seized the opportunity and resolutely bid farewell: "Brother, sister-in-law, then A Jun and I will not disturb, and I will take A Jun to my house for New Year's greetings." Chang Huaixi made a random excuse. .

He and Yan Xijun are foreign males. Since Xiao Fei is here, it is inconvenient for them to stay for a long time.

Xiao Yi responded and did not leave them behind.

Then a little maid in Tsing Yi came over and led the two young masters away.

Nangong Yue looked at the slightly stiff backs of the two of them, and hooked her lips with interest. The next moment, she saw Xiao Fei personally present the hot dumpling soup to her, and looked at her expectantly, her dark eyes seemed to be It's like talking.

"Sister-in-law, try these dumplings..."

Looking at Xiao Fei's pure and clear eyes, Nangong Yue couldn't help sighing in her heart, "Sister Fei is really not enlightened! ... But don't worry, Sister Fei is still young, and when she is out of filial piety, she can choose her by herself.

The two young masters left the Bixiao Hall with a complicated look, just in time to see a familiar figure riding out from the gate of the palace.

It's the Marquis of Pingyang!

The two looked at each other.

However, the preoccupied Pingyang Hou did not notice Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun, and rode their horses on the street.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the streets outside were full of lively firecrackers, one after another, the sound of "crackling" firecrackers were full of joy in the ears of ordinary people, saying "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to each other, but these sharp and monotonous sounds Into the ears of Marquis Pingyang, it was just an annoying noise.

The Marquis of Pingyang and the third princess have not had a good year this year. It can be said that it has been the most deserted New Year they have spent in their lives.

When they were in the capital in previous years, as two people, they were naturally surrounded by the stars and the moon, but here it was the complete opposite. The whole Luo Yue city seemed to have forgotten them. No one came to greet them, and no one came to invite them. He was a guest, even the cunning King Zhennan!

They have been in the southern border for more than a month. At first, King Zhennan borrowed hundreds of soldiers and horses to help the Marquis of Pingyang find people. But later, when it came to military power, King Zhennan called everyone by the opportunity of the New Year. When he went back, he just casually gave him some palace guards to help him find it. There are still hundreds of soldiers and horses who can't find any clues, not to mention dozens of guards in the palace, but it's just a drop in the bucket.

The Marquis of Pingyang went to see King Zhennan just now under the pretext of paying New Year's greetings.

Now I just hope that Kui Lang is still alive and waiting for him to save him!

stomping on...

The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed on the bluestone streets, which could be heard endlessly.

After turning a corner, I saw a young man in a blue cloak riding a horse a few dozen meters away. This is...

The Marquis of Pingyang could not help pulling the reins of the puller, feeling that the person who came here seemed a little familiar.

While thinking about it, the dark horse not far away was galloping closer, the young man's upright face became clearer, and the Marquis of Pingyang felt that the other party became more familiar...

Of course, the other party also saw the Marquis of Pingyang. With a sound of "woo", he slowed down his horse and stopped two or three feet away. Then he immediately greeted Marquis Pingyang with his fists and salutes: "Last General Li Yunqi sees the Marquis."

Li Yunqi's expression was a bit complicated. He actually knew that Marquis of Pingyang and the third princess came to Luoyue City last month, but he hesitated again and again. I happened to meet on the way.

Could it be that this is a foreshadowing of God, telling him that it is time for him to make a choice!

"Li Xiaowei!" Pingyang Hou looked at Li Yunqi and suddenly remembered.

By the way, there is such a person, who seems to be a young general who was sent by the emperor to escort the Marquis of Anyi Guan Yubai to the southern border last year.

To the Marquis of Pingyang, Li Yunqi was nothing but a small person, so he didn't even think of this person before.

After Li Yunqi looked around, he lowered his voice and said, "Master Marquis, this is not the place to talk... There will be something to report at the end."

Marquis Pingyang thought that Li Yunqi had been in the southern border for a year, and he knew more about the southern border than himself, and now that he really encountered a dead end, he nodded in response.

Li Yunqi followed the Marquis of Pingyang to the inn, and when only the two of them were left in the room, did Li Yunqi take a deep breath, and resolutely said: "Marquis, I wonder if you know about Marquis Anyi and the Prince of Zhennan. Xiao Yi has a deep personal relationship?"

Marquis Pingyang thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he asked, "Why did you say this? Do you have proof?"

Li Yunqi rationalized his thoughts, and when he was in Yanding City last year, he found that Marquis Anyi and Shizi Xiao had a good personal relationship, and Shizi Xiao also let Marquis Anyi participate in the military and political affairs of southern Xinjiang, etc., and the two often entered and exited together in Luoyue City. I told the Marquis of Pingyang about everything.

Marquis Pingyang's expression became more and more solemn. Before, Mrs. Qiao only told the third princess that Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were very close. Xiao Yi once handed over the military power of Yanding City to Guan Yubai, but Pingyang Marquis only It was thought that after Guan Yubai arrived in the southern border, the Zhennan King and his son secretly gave Guan Yubai some benefit, and they reached some agreement to benefit each other, but now listening to Li Yunqi in detail, it seems that it is not just that simple. .

Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai seem to be close friends? !

Then things are much more complicated. Marquis Pingyang has to consider that Guan Yubai may have other plans when he comes to southern Xinjiang this time...

"Li Xiaowei," Pingyang Hou asked in a deep voice, "Since you know, why didn't you report back to the emperor?"

If he had known this earlier, he would not have come to Southern Border unprepared, and he would not have fallen into a helpless situation now!

Li Yunqi's expression froze for a moment, and he regretted saying it again in his heart.

As Guan Yubai once said to Xiao Yi, Li Yunqi is not a smart person, so he has been hesitant and unable to make up his mind.

For example, at this moment, he began to regret what he said just now, and felt that he was really thankless, and now he was to be blamed by the Marquis of Pingyang, but also offended Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi.

Li Yunqi felt uneasy in his heart, so he could only reluctantly say: "Marquis, this matter is very important, Marquis Anyi and Xiao Shizi are both noble, and there is no 100% certainty of the final commander, so how dare you rashly report to the emperor..."

If the emperor chooses to trust Marquis Anyi and Xiao Yi, then he will become a traitor to sow discord, and his future will be ruined!

The Marquis of Pingyang did not speak for a while, his face sinking like water.

Now it seems that if what Li Yunqi said is true, then the emperor's plan to let Marquis An Yi come to the southern border to check and balance Xiao Yi is probably not only wrong, but also falling into Xiao Yi's arms.

Years ago, the book he sent to the capital only mentioned the disappearance of Kui Lang, but he did not mention Marquis Anyi and Xiao Yi... So can this matter become his bargaining chip? If the Zhenan Palace can stand on the side of Shunjun Wang, Shunjunwang will naturally increase in strength!

The Marquis of Pingyang pondered, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Maybe this is not his crisis, but the biggest gain from his trip to Southern Border!

The Marquis of Pingyang reluctantly suppressed the excitement in his heart, sent Li Yunqi a few words, and told the other party to keep his mouth shut and be careful with words and deeds. Li Yunqi felt that he had escaped the catastrophe, and he almost retreated.

After Li Yunqi left, the Marquis of Pingyang, who had not returned to the inn for an incense stick, went out again and headed towards the Zhennan Palace, but this time he entered not the gate of the palace, but the gate of the East Street of Bixiaotang , The name is called to pay New Year's greetings to Xiao Shizi.

The servants of Bixiaotang naturally did not dare to neglect, and asked the Marquis of Pingyang to sit down in the main hall, and at the same time let someone pass the message.

The Marquis of Pingyang was in high spirits at first, but as time passed, he became more and more impatient.

Several pots of tea have been served, but that Xiao Yi has never shown up!

Just when Marquis Pingyang was about to turn his face, he finally saw a figure in a purple robe walking towards here.

Xiao Yi appeared belatedly!
