496, Princess Chu's revenge
The guests were politely sent out of King Zheng's mansion by Zhu Chuyu and returned home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOverall, this wedding banquet of Na Fang Concubine was a success on the surface. Except for the cave room, when the bridegroom was suddenly found...... Of course, the latter is unknown to outsiders, so it is still successful.
Sitting in the carriage back to the Chu Palace, Nangong Mo leaned on Wei Junmo and couldn't help but bow his head and laugh, and at the same time there was a little deep regret. Wei Junmo held her with one hand and asked puzzledly, "Flawless is in a good mood?" Nangong Mo nodded again and again, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. Wei Junmo squinted at the unstoppable smile on her lips, it seems... I'm really in a good mood.
"What did Flawless do? Can't you tell me? Wei Junmo asked.
Nangong Mo blinked, "Please." ”
Wei Gongzi did not hesitate to abandon his self-esteem, "Please." ”
Rolling his eyes, it was so easy to compromise, and there was no sense of accomplishment at all.
Leaning over to approach Wei Junmo's arms, Nangong Mo whispered a few words. Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows, speechless for a while, "You... To dispense this medicine? "Wei Gongzi thinks about whether to be more obedient to Flawless in the future, this medicine is simply a man's nightmare. But at the same time, I felt a little displeased that Flawless actually prepared this medicine for Xiao Qianwei in person.
Nangong Mo shook his head, "Of course not, even if I think about it, it's too late." ”
"That's..."
"Senior brother, of course." Nangong Mo betrayed the conspirators without hesitation, "The person who bought the incense was the person next to Xiao Qianjiong's staff, and the senior brother was very unhappy about this." "The String Song Boy was deeply unhappy that such an elegant medicine could be used in such an obscene place. Of course, if the string song boy himself is used by others, it is not indecent.
Wei Junmo raised his sword eyebrows, "Are you moving your hand or a string song?" ”
During the entire banquet, Nangong Mo never approached Xiao Qianwei. But she went out halfway, was that time enough for her to put the medicine on a few side concubines?
Nangong Mo smiled and said, "Let's do it together." Xian Ge was responsible for throwing some of the medicinal powder into the wine jug used by Xiao Qianwei. Many of the people present drank it, but it didn't matter, even if it was found out by the imperial doctor, it was just an ordinary medicine to strengthen the body. And Nangong Mo was responsible for sprinkling the other part of the medicinal incense on Xiao Qianwei's way to the backyard. And that night, the only man who drank the pot of wine and went to the backyard was Xiao Qianwei alone. Zhu Chuyu also drank it, but she was a woman, and the medicine had no effect on her.
"I heard it's going to snow tonight." Nangong Mo said leisurely. The already very light medicinal fragrance will soon disappear when it is covered by snow and eroded by water vapor. Just like the incense that turned into sandalwood in the heart of the stove of Heishinsai, there is not the slightest trace.
Wei Junmo took her in his arms and stroked her silky hair, "Still angry?" ”
Nangong Mo snorted lightly and said, "I'm not so stingy, it's just that as a sister-in-law, for the sake of his health, it's better to let him cultivate his body for a period of time." ”
"His body doesn't need to be cared for flawlessly, it's good for flawless to care for me." Wei Jun said unexpectedly.
Nangong Mo looked at him with a smile, "You want to try it too?" ”
“……”
Leaning on his thick and warm arms, Nangong Mo closed his eyes and rested contentedly.
Dare to pry her corner? She didn't even pry into his own corner!
Back at the Chu Palace, Nangong Mo rested contentedly. I didn't feel affected by the events of the day today. The next day, he also took Wei Junmo to the Changping Princess Mansion to pick up the two children, and at the behest of Emperor Taichu, he took the two children into the palace to ask for peace, and he was completely idle waiting for the New Year. It's just that when she saw Xiao Qianwei's haggard and gloomy look that she obviously couldn't hide, Princess Chu secretly smiled more happily.
His Royal Highness King Zheng did not accept the four side concubines at all, and the boundless ambition of Yanfu naturally attracted the attention of many people. However, everyone is very busy when the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the gossip of the Huang family is not so good-looking, so everyone can only secretly guess in their hearts.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, and it has already reached the first year of the Taichu.
This day is the Lantern Festival in Jinling City, on the day of the Lantern Festival, there is no curfew in Jinling City, and the people in the city can play freely on the street. At night, the entire Jinling City is more crowded and lively than in the daytime.
Nangong Mo and the two walked hand in hand at the lantern festival in the city, and people passing by passed by them, and they couldn't help but pay attention. After the New Year, Jinling City is still cold and steep, Nangong Mo walked in the crowd wearing a short cloak, looking at the crowd around him, he couldn't help but wonder. Her beautiful face shone in the dim candlelight, still radiant.
"That's a lot of people." Nangong Mo was a little amazed, she also had a Lantern Festival in Jinling a few years ago, but there didn't seem to be so many people at the Lantern Festival.
Wei Junmo held her waist with one hand, separating her from the passing crowd, and said: "February is the city of my father's emperor, and the beginning of March is Enke Chunfu, many people have already felt Jinling years ago, but you didn't pay attention." "At this time, it is difficult to go out and the car and boat are inconvenient, especially for students in some remote places, just entering Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, it may take several months, and if you are not careful, you may miss the examination date. Therefore, many people will take precautions and arrive in Jinling in advance, and they can rent a cheap courtyard in the city or live directly in an inn if they have money. You don't have to worry about it, you can also review your homework more, which is naturally the best of both worlds.
Nangong Mo was a little surprised, "Is that so?" "Although it is indeed inconvenient for cars and ships in this era, it is not inconvenient for Nangong Mo. After all, if she was alone, it would be more than enough for a fast horse to gallop from south to north for more than ten days. But I don't know that more people who read can't afford to buy horses, and even if they can, they may not be able to stand the pain of fast horses. There are many people who can't even afford to rent a horse-drawn carriage, so they can only walk to Jinling. It was not uncommon to walk on that road for three to five months.
"Envoys from various countries have also arrived?" Nangong Mo asked.
Wei Junmo shook his head slightly and said: "Only the envoys of South Vietnam arrived, who arrived last night, and only entered the palace this morning to meet my father." ”
Nangong Mo stopped, groaned slightly, and asked, "I arrived yesterday, and I only entered the palace today to meet my father?" Didn't you even send your credentials in advance? "Although it is said that guests from afar should not let people enter the palace immediately to meet or something, whether a guest should pay a visit to the host and whether the host should work the guest are two different things. The general procedure should also be to send someone to inform in advance so that the Ministry of Rites officials can be ready to meet them. Then Emperor Taichu issued an edict to ask the guests to rest first, and then summon Yunyun the next day. Wei Junmo said indifferently: "Father didn't say anything, they stayed at the inn last night, and they were invited to the inn today." ”
Nangong Mo shrugged, this kind of thing Emperor Taichu and Wei Junmo and the people in the court are naturally measured, and they don't need her to worry about anything. However, he also had a bottom in his heart about the attitude towards the South Vietnamese envoys.
Sure enough, there were a lot of Confucian scholars at the Lantern Festival, most of these people were born in poverty, and they rushed to Jinling early in addition to Wen Shu, but there were also many people who were still trapped in life. So such a day is naturally inevitable to come out and earn some silver taels. There are not many people who are good at making a living, so most people are only good at calligraphy and painting, so there are many people who set up stalls to sell calligraphy and paintings. First, you can earn some silver taels, and secondly, if you can be blue-eyed by nobles, it is naturally the best.
Seeing the two coming hand in hand, many people's eyes couldn't help but light up. Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw it in his eyes, and looked sideways at Wei Junmo and said with a smile: "It seems that you should still wear a mask and go out again." These people obviously recognized Wei Junmo's identity, and they naturally looked forward to him being able to stop in front of their stalls. It's a pity that Wei Gongzi is obviously not interested in these calligraphy and paintings.
Wei Junmo looked down at her and smiled lightly.
Seeing the two of them walking over, the people who were left behind couldn't help but show a little disappointed.
"Flawless!" A crisp voice came from the crowd, and Nangong Mo turned around, and saw Xie Peihuan, Qin Xi, and Shang Nian'er actually standing together and looking at them with a smile. The two stopped, and the three of them immediately walked over, Shang Nian'er smiled: "Just now we were still talking about maybe we could meet you, but I didn't expect to really meet you." ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Second sister-in-law, it's rare that you are also free." ”
This is not Nangong Mo's ridicule, after returning to Jinling, Shang Nian'er was really busy. Originally, there were children in the family, and Shang Nian'er had to take care of two families alone. During the Chinese New Year, I simply added Nangong Xu's three families to spend it together. So much so that since returning to Jinling, Shang Nian'er hasn't come out to play much. However, Shang Nian'er is behind the door, although she doesn't look as lively as Xue Xiaoxiao, she still has a lot of perseverance in her temperament, Shang Rong's mansion and Nangong Hui's mansion have made her take care of it in an orderly manner, even Nangong Mo has to admit that Nangong Xu chose a very good wife for Nangong Hui.
Shang Nian'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she said helplessly: "You also come to make fun of me, who makes me not as capable as your subordinates, so I can only do everything myself." ”
"Xi'er, your body ......"
Qin Xi was wearing a cloak made of white fox fur, and her thin little face was even more petite and lovely against the white velvet fur. Qin Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm so good, I'm worried about you." ”
The four of them said a few words, and Nangong Mo also saw that someone standing beside him made the three of them a little uncomfortable. He looked at Wei Gongzi in embarrassment and blinked his eyes. Wei Junmo looked at her calmly for a moment and said, "You guys go around, I'll pick you up later." ”
Nangong Mo felt a little guilty in his heart, Wei Junmo was already very busy, and finally found time to accompany her to the Lantern Festival today, and even the two children were deliberately thrown at home, and the result was ......
Wei Junmo touched Nangong Mo's face and shook his head silently to show that he didn't care.
Xie Peihuan and the three of them were also a little embarrassed, Xie Peihuan said: "My seventh brother and Qin Gongzi are sitting in the front of the champion building. "A few of them actually went out with their brother and met each other.
Wei Junmo nodded, turned around and left.
Wei Junmo's departure made Xie Peihuan and the three of them breathe a sigh of relief. Nangong Mo was helpless, "You guys are too exaggerated." Qin Xi smiled and said, "Mo'er, you don't understand......" Nangong Mo couldn't feel Wei Gongzi's momentum at all, but it didn't mean that they couldn't feel it. There is such an imposing facial paralysis standing on the side, let alone playing, even if you want to chat happily. Even if Wei Junmo didn't look at them at all, they would easily feel like a lot of thorns in their backs.
Shang Nian'er and Xie Peihuan nodded in unison.
Therefore, it is really not without reason that Wei Gongzi's peach blossom luck is not very good. Thinking about it this way, Lin Han, who dares to calculate Wei Gongzi, is simply a heroine. The fourth brother was well-looking and gorgeously dressed in the crowd, but he did not attract any unsightly people to harass. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, a brick smashed down will also smash three officials, two relatives of the emperor, and five relatives of officials and relatives of the emperor. This kind of appearance and clothing temperament, as long as the eyes are okay, you know that it is not an ordinary person.
Qin Xi said happily: "It's the first time I've come out to visit the Lantern Festival by myself, let's go quickly." ”
The three of them nodded one after another, very sympathetic to the days when she was forced to stay out of the door since she was a child. Hand in hand, the four of them walked lightly through the crowd, watching the gorgeous lanterns and various stalls hanging on both sides of the street from time to time.
In the window on the second floor of a restaurant on the side of the street, a young man and woman stand side by side. The man was in his twenties, with a slender body and straight eyebrows, slightly darker than the common people in Jinling City, although he was wearing a costume from the Central Plains, it was easy to see that he was not from the Central Plains. Another woman is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, a golden jewel between her eyebrows, a dark blue long dress, a thin waist, and slightly curled hair, which is more exotic.
Both of them were nodding at the four women who were walking away on the street downstairs, and the man raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect it... This Great Xia is really as beautiful as a cloud. You can easily see four unique styles. He spoke Mandarin fluently, but with a somewhat odd accent.
The woman frowned slightly, and said in another language: "Brother, those four are not ordinary women. Didn't you hear? The women just now called it Flawless. ”
"So what?" The man was unimpressed.
A trace of helplessness flashed in the woman's eyes, "Before I came, didn't my brother hear anyone mention it?" Princess Chu, named Nangong Mo, has flawless words. ”
The man waved his hand impatiently and said, "The people of the Central Plains are really troublesome, and it takes so many tricks to choose a name." But... That's the princess of Chu? What a beautiful woman. It is very different from those soft and weak Central Plains women. The woman snorted lightly: "That man just now should be the King of Chu, brother, you are not his opponent." Be sure not to mess with him. ”
The man rolled his eyes, "Isn't it just right?" You are interested in the King of Chu, I am interested in the Princess of Chu, let's cooperate. ”
The woman shrugged, glanced at the flow of people who could no longer see Nangong Mo and the others, and said, "I don't think it's useful to cooperate with you." On the contrary, it may anger the king of Chu. "She is not a brother who can only use her hands and not her brains, and the men of the Central Plains value their women very much. Don't say what happened to you, even if you are looked at a few more times, you may get angry. Working with him? She's not crazy.
