Chapter 1479 784 Official Slaves

In the inner room at night, when no one is talking, it is especially quiet.

The sound of the wind, the swaying of branches and leaves... and even the occasional babble from Xiao Yu in his sleep seemed to be amplified several times.

Queer carefully tucked the quilt for Xiao Shisun, and her curiosity was picked up, and she asked amusingly: "Princess Shizi, does this Mr. Guan have someone with a 'story'?"

Nangong Yue caressed the little guy's chubby cheeks that were dyed with peach blossoms, and the scenes in Hanshi Street flashed in his mind, nodded, and said, "Remember when I was seven years old, in Jiangnan I once heard my mother mention this Mr. Guan..."

Nangong Yue said this, Thrush and Que'er both looked over with curious eyes, as if "I want to move the stool over to eat melon seeds and listen to the story".

It happened ten years ago, when Nangongyue was seven years old. For Nangongyue, who was reborn, it was a long, long time ago.

She rationalized her thoughts and spoke in a succinct manner.

Ten years ago, there was a barbarian who came across the sea, looking for people to teach chess skills in Jiangnan area. In just a few months, he defeated a group of chess masters in Jiangnan, which shocked the Jiangnan chess world. Later, this person was even more in Jiangnan. Puyao Temple set up a chess game to seek defeat and defeat, which attracted the whole city for a while...

One day, Guan Jinyun, who went to the Puyao Temple to offer incense, heard about this incident by chance, and broke the chess game that stumped countless talented chess players, making the Nayi people willing to bow down. Mr Kwan".

Later, there was also a young and energetic talent who wanted to challenge Guan Jinyun, but was refuted by Guan Jinyun with the sentence "chess is a matter of self-cultivation, not a technique of competing for strength", which was once refuted by many literati Praise, I feel that Mr. Guan has a noble character...

This Mr. Guan is not only good at chess, but also has a humble heart and does not show his edge easily. After that, I only heard that she had discussed chess skills with several famous chess masters, such as Zen Master Shengshan and Li Ruomo. Chess skills are quite appreciated.

Nangong Yue's voice was gentle and elegant in the gentle night wind, and the maids were fascinated by it.

When the room was quiet again, Thrush said with emotion: "Princess Shizi, this Mr. Guan has the feeling of being a hero in a female middle school..."

yes. Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows. She still remembered how she felt when she heard her mother talk about it when she was a child, so she still remembers this person after many years...

It is late at night, and no matter how thrilling the day is, it turns into calmness and sleepiness at night, and everything falls into a slumber until dawn comes again...

Early the next morning, Xiao Rongyu came to Bixiaotang to greet Nangongyue. The new-looking little girl seemed to have clear eyes and a radiant expression, obviously she had completely shaken off the shadow of yesterday.

Nangong Yue and the little girl talked about Baihui going to Huanxi Pavilion to send a thank you gift to Mr. Guan yesterday, and they exchanged a few words with her before sending her back. As for Xiao Xiaoyu, she didn't care from beginning to end. His fifth aunt, his attention was drawn to something outside the window.

"Meow--" He leaned on the window and called out to the cat Xiaobai, who was sleeping on the branch. Unfortunately, Xiaobai didn't move like a mountain. He curled up into a fluffy white fur ball on the sturdy branch, watching people look at him. Feeling a little itchy.

"Meow meow!"

The milky and milky cat meowing reverberated in the house, Nangong Yue, who was working as a girl red, put down the needle and thread in her hand, and began to think about whether to divert the little guy's attention, but he suddenly changed his words: "Auntie …”

The little guy excitedly waved his small fleshy palms out of the window, and his body trembled slightly. Nangong Yue had no doubt that if he were bigger and more active, he must have climbed out of the window.

While thinking about it, Nangong Yue followed the little guy's gaze and looked out, thinking that it was Xiao Fei or a few other sisters coming, but she didn't want the yard to be empty at all.

"aunt……"

The little meat group cried out again, and Nangong Yue looked at it again, and then suddenly realized that the little guy was looking at the sky.

In the blue sky, a white dove flapped its wings and flew in the direction of Bixiaotang. It flew closer and closer. It should be a carrier pigeon in the house...

Nangong Yue was stunned and suddenly realized.

It turned out that the little guy was not called "Auntie", but "Cuckoo", the pigeon that called "Cuckoo".

Thinking about it, she was a little funny, but also had a vaguely ominous feeling in her heart. Looking at the direction in which the carrier pigeons flew, it seemed that they came from the north. Could it be from the capital...

After half an hour, the doubts in Nangong Yue's heart were answered.

With the sound of "cooing" and the sound of picking the curtains, Baihui quickly walked into the Dongji room with a chubby white carrier pigeon.

The pigeon caught Xiao Xiaoyu's attention at once, and it cried "coo" again, one after another with the voice of the pigeon.

Thrush took the pigeon and immediately held it in front of Xiao Shisun to play with, while Baihui handed a letter folded into a long strip to Nangong Yue, and said respectfully: "Prince Concubine, this is Butler Zhu. I just received the biography of the flying pigeons from the royal capital..."

Nangong Yue gave Baihui a funny look. Zhu Xing had already read the letter, so there was no need to bring the carrier pigeons. Baihui's unnecessary actions were naturally to please Xiao Xiaoyu.

Baihui didn't look sideways, she was calm as usual, as if she didn't see Nangong Yue's playful eyes.

Nangong Yue raised her hand to take the secret letter, and her eyes fell on the letter in her hand. Since Zhu Xing deliberately asked Baihui to hand it over to him, it must be because he thought there was something about her in the letter. Things you must know...

Nangong Yue took a deep breath, quickly opened the letter, and looked down at ten lines...

This is……

Nangong Yue only looked at a few lines, and then her eyes widened, her eyes and expressions showed a look of shock.

This letter is mainly about the matter of Han Huaijun, saying that the emperor has received the book sent by Weiyuanhou from the western border, and on the fourth day of December, he issued the imperial decree to punish the Qi Wangfu. Han Huaijun was convicted of treason and excommunicated, and Jiang Yixi...

Nangong Yue's speed in reading the letter slowed down unconsciously, and the expression on her face became more and more complicated and solemn.

"Sister Xi will come to the southern border soon..." Nangong Yue stared at the letter and muttered, like a statement and like a sigh.

Although he was about to reunite with an old friend whom he hadn't seen for several years, there was no trace of joy on Nangong Yue's face. In the current situation, she really couldn't smile.

Baihui, Que'er, and Thrush on the side all looked at each other in dismay. From Nangong Yue's expression, the maids vaguely guessed that something big might have happened in the capital...

Only Xiao Xiaoyu played with the white dove without worry, and for a while he screamed "coo gu", and then moved his arms up and down to imitate the flight of a white dove, and then gently touched the delicate white feather of the white dove with his small meat claws. Twice, just like he usually touches the cat at home.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but read the secret letter in her hand again, engraving it in her heart word by word, her fingers exerting force unconsciously, and her whole body was even more rigid.

Long before the emperor's second stroke, Nangong Yue could vaguely sense from the emperor's actions over the years that since she and Xiao Yi left the capital, the emperor seemed to be getting more and more confused...

But judging from this time, the emperor seems to be really obsessed with the devil, no, or he has fallen into the devil's block!

If it was the previous emperor who regarded her and A Yi as his children and nephews, the emperor who still had benevolence, Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi would never have been pushed to such a "desperate road"...

Maybe my guess is correct...

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue's brows knit together, and a dim light flashes in her eyes.

Nine times out of ten, these are the aftermath of the emperor's stroke!

This time, Han Lingguan secretly gave the emperor a heart attack, which caused his stroke to recur. After that, he was in a coma for more than 20 days. The emperor's stroke this time was much more serious than the first time. If he was able to wake up, half of it was an imperial physician. The other half is the way of luck.

Even if she hadn't checked the emperor's pulse, she could roughly guess that his body was at the end of the line... If the emperor was willing to listen to the doctor's advice and rest well, and if the emperor was willing to hand over the government to the fifth prince, he might be able to drag it on for a while. Years, but the emperor couldn't let go, he still wanted to hold the power firmly in the palm of his hand...

Hard work, overthinking, anger and sorrow... These are the taboos of stroke, but the emperor has committed every kind of thing. If this goes on, it will only make his condition worse and worse, leading to tangled emotions and extreme temperament. , go his own way and fall into a vicious circle, unable to extricate himself!

Loyal words are hard to listen to. The emperor today probably won't listen to advice anymore. He can only figure it out on his own. However, with his condition, his brain will only become more and more blocked. Is it possible for him to wake up?

Nangong Yue smiled bitterly, she actually already had the answer in her heart...

Next, what kind of situation will the capital and the court go to? !

Nangong Yue felt as if something was pressing on her heart, and it became heavier, and a sigh could not help overflowing from her lips and teeth.

Hey, I just feel sorry for Sister Xi.

Before Xiao Yi's expedition, he told Nangong Yue that Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi might come to settle in the southern border... If the emperor ordered Han Huaijun to be charged with treason and demoted Jiang Yixi as an official slave.

According to Xiao Yi's original plan, Jiang Yixi will denounce the emperor's right and wrong in the street on the day of receiving the decree, and refute Han Huaijun's treason as nonexistent. Ye Dajun has been fighting back to Liuquan City, what is the crime of treason!

As long as Han Huaijun's treason is not convicted, Jiang Yixi can naturally avoid being punished as a slave, and after that, he can leave the capital openly... But he didn't expect that Jiang Yixi finally chose to escape.

"Death escape" means that she bears the status of "official slave" when she died, and she has no relatives or "Jiang Yixi" in the future. She is equivalent to abandoning her past, her roots...

This is definitely not an easy choice.

Based on Nangong Yue's understanding of Jiang Yixi, she could vaguely guess why Jiang Yixi chose to take this road.

Jiang Yixi didn't want to implicate the Duke of Enguo because of her, nor did he want the emperor to anger the queen and the fifth prince because of her...

This is my own sister Xi!

Thinking about it, a touch of sadness emerged in Nangong Yue's heart, mixed with a bit of sigh...

The room was silent for a while, and even the surrounding atmosphere became a little dignified and depressed because of Nangong Yue's silence.

After a long time, Nangong Yue finally put down the letter paper in her hand, her eyes that had been slightly slack gradually regained focus, and ordered, "Baihui, go and arrange for someone to clean the house on Guanzhi Street..."

The house on Guanzhi Street was the one that Nangongyue looked for for Han Huaijun and Jiang Yixi. She had already thought about it, but she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that it would not come to this point...

Nangong Yue settled down and continued: "Also, I will pick some safe people from Bixiaotang's family to serve, and make sure Sister Xi and the others... feel at home."

When the last four words were spoken, Nangong Yue felt a slight bitterness spread in her mouth.

Jiang Yixi came alone, and the people who served around him in the past would definitely not be able to bring along, and his family members were thousands of miles away. Even if the daily expenses were the same as before, everything would be different...

After Baihui responded, she led the order to retreat.

Nangong Yue casually threw the silk paper full of words into the brazier. The fluffy silk paper was swallowed up by the flames in the blink of an eye, turned into ashes, and merged with the coke in the brazier.

In the sound of the flames burning, the room became quiet again, and only the sound of "gugu" sounded occasionally...

Seeing that the carrier pigeons were "ravaged" by Xiao Xiaoyu, Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, thinking that these carrier pigeons were bullied so badly by Xiaohui and Hanyu on weekdays. Somewhat pitiful, he asked Thrush to let go of the carrier pigeon.

Xiao Xiaoyu couldn't bear to part with his little friend. He looked at the direction the carrier pigeon was flying away and cried "coo", but this was because he begged his aunt.

As soon as Xiao Fei entered the room, she heard the little guy call "Auntie", her face couldn't hide her joy, and after greeting Nangongyue, she asked smugly, "Brother Yu, are you thinking of your aunt?"

She walked to Xiao Xiao Yu's side, gently touched the top of his soft hair, and shook his warm little hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The little guy was distracted when he saw his aunt, raised his arms coquettishly and motioned for his aunt to hug him.

Xiao Fei was flattered and hugged the little guy on his lap, feeling sweet in his heart, and it took a while to remember the business of the trip.

"Sister-in-law, I received a post from Yuanxi Pavilion, saying that there will be a chess meeting today." Xiao Fei said and motioned to Taoyao to present a post with a lake-colored cloud pattern to Nangong Yue, "Sister-in-law, what do you want? Don't come with me?"

Xiao Fei said, a pair of dark and clear eyes shone brightly, obviously very interested in this chess game.

In fact, Nangong Yue also received this post. She originally wanted to go, but since it is a chess meeting, it will definitely take a lot of time to play a game.

Playing chess is about quietness, and the place where you play chess should not be noisy. Xiao Yu is still under one year old, so it is inevitable that he will be noisy, so naturally he cannot take it with him...

After thinking about it, Nangong Yue had no choice but to decline Xiao Fei's invitation: "Sister Fei, Laba is coming soon. The palace is busy with affairs, and I have to take care of Brother Yu, so I won't go."

As soon as the little guy on Xiao Fei's knee heard his name, he responded, "Mother?"

He tilted his head and looked at his mother, as if asking, what did the mother ask him to do?

When Xiao Fei heard the words, she was a little disappointed, but she didn't persuade much. She said thoughtfully, "Sister-in-law, when I come back, I'll talk to you about the chess meeting in detail..."

"Sister Fei, if you see a good chess game, why don't you come back and show it to me?" Nangong Yue said with a smile.

Xiao Fei hurriedly agreed, and still felt a bit regretful in her heart. The chess club in Huanxi Pavilion will definitely attract many female family members who are good at chess in the city. Moreover, I heard that Mrs. Jiang invited Guan, a chess master from Jiangnan, this time. Sir, if you can discuss with Mr. Guan, it will definitely benefit a lot. Xiao Fei has already thought about recording more chess records in the chess club and showing them to Nangong Yue...

Thinking about the chess master Mr. Guan, Xiao Fei remembered another thing, so he said again: "Sister-in-law, I heard that Mr. Guan, who is temporarily living in Huanxi Pavilion, is the savior of the fifth sister, and the fifth sister said that she also I want to go with me and come to the door in person to thank Mr. Guan for saving his life."

Xiao Fei's words already had the demeanor of the eldest sister. As the eldest sister, she should take care of her younger sister, whether it is outside the house or the house.

Nangong Yue nodded in response with a smile.

Xiao Xiaoyu also nodded his head like his mother, Xiao Fei bowed her head and looked at the little guy in his arms who was smiling and showing eight grains of rice. reason.

Little nephew grow up quickly! Aunt can play with you.

Xiao Fei held the little guy's hands and asked solemnly, "Brother Yu, when you grow up, will your aunt teach you how to play chess?"

Poor little Xiao Yu didn't know what his aunt was asking at all, he just smirked and held her hand like Xiao Fei did.

For Xiao Fei, it meant that the little nephew agreed. She happily kissed his white and tender cheek, and she knew that the little nephew had the best relationship with her.

Then, in exchange for a kiss from the little guy.

Seal for proof! Xiao Fei laughed even more.

Looking at the pair of aunts and nephews who were playing together inexplicably, Nangong Yue had long been surprised by her son's ability to be familiar with all kinds of familiarity and be kind.

Anyway, she was sure that her son was definitely not like her...

Xiao Fei stayed in the Bixiao Hall for about a stick of incense again. After looking at the time, she was about to leave. She planned to return to the Moon Biju to pack up and then go to the Huanxi Pavilion...

On this day, sisters Xiao Fei and Xiao Rongyu did not return to the palace until Shen Shi, and when they came back, they came to Nangong Yue's courtyard first.

After going out for a long time, the two girls, one big and one small, did not look tired at all. Instead, they were radiant and energetic. The eyes of the two girls were shining like cold stars.

On weekdays, Xiao Fei and Xiao Rongyu are very different in age, and they can't play together. The sisters are neither strong nor weak. I didn't expect to go out together today, but they became a lot closer.

"Sister-in-law."

After showing the ceremony to Nangongyue, the two sisters sat down and talked to Nangongyue about the chess meeting.

"Sister-in-law, look!" Xiao Fei impatiently handed a chess sheet to Nangong Yue to see.

Nangong Yue looked at this chess score, first recognized it from Xiao Rongyu's chess score from the somewhat childish script, then carefully examined the chess game, and said thoughtfully, "Sister Fei, it's you who holds the black piece. ?"

Xiao Fei stroked her palms with a smile: "Sister-in-law still looks like a torch."

Go is respectful of holding the black piece. When the black piece is moved, the black piece will go first, and then the black piece will have a great advantage.

What Xiao Fei's chess skills are, Nangong Yue knows best, but the white player can win with a two-and-a-half advantage, which is indeed an extraordinary chess skill, which is rare among women in the southern border and the capital.

"Is that Mr. Guan who is playing white?" Nangong Yue asked again.

Xiao Fei nodded again, her eyes glowed, and she took out three more chess scores, "Sister-in-law, look at these three more."

These three chess scores are obviously recorded by Xiao Fei, but the chess game seems to be a lot duller. The person holding the white piece should be the one Mr. Guan, and this should be the guide chess... Nangong Yue raised her brows slightly, and Xiao Rongyu couldn't help it. He liked it: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Guan's chess skills are really brilliant, and at the same time playing chess with three girls, he is still calm."

While Xiao Rongyu spoke, her eyes showed admiration, and Xiao Fei also complimented: "There is a saying: 'Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books', this Mr. Guan's ability to see the overall situation is beyond my ability. In the past two years, I felt that my chess skills had stagnated, and I really benefited a lot today.”

Xiao Rongyu, who was beside him, seemed to have thought of something, with a hint of shyness on his face, and said, "Sister-in-law, Mr. Guan said that the winter in southern Xinjiang is much warmer than that in Jiangnan, and he plans to stay in southern Xinjiang for some time..."

After a pause, Xiao Rongyu bravely said her request: "Sister-in-law, can I invite Mr. Guan to come to the palace to be a lady and teach me how to play chess?"
