Mu Ran walked to the hall dignifiedly, and Ying Ying bowed down. The overlapping palms were close to the gilded green bricks, and as soon as the faces that kowtowed down were lowered, the warmth in the fire dragon in the bricks suddenly surged onto his face, trying his best to restrain the dizziness in his brain, and Qin Nanxi was like a ritual.

"Get up, raise your head, and let this palace take a look." Concubine Xiao Gui's voice came from above her head, and there was already a big palace maid on her right hand to support her.

"Sure enough, it's a crystal person" Concubine Xiao Gui's slender eyelashes were slightly cut, and a surprised and satisfied smile appeared in her eyes that were smoky and rainy.

When Qin Nanxi heard this, she bowed down and bowed again: "The courtiers are frightened, disdainful and ugly, and ashamed of the noble concubine's praise!" ”

But the noble concubine didn't seem to think it either, and said to the ladies below with a smile: "As the saying goes, there is a saying that the eighteenth change of the female college is really not a lie. Bengong remembers, when this child was a child, he was a yellow and thin little person, and he hadn't seen him for a few years? It's like a flower and a jade! ”

The noble concubine's words were kind, and the words seemed to be inadvertent, but Xiao Luomei, who was on the side, was shocked, and hurriedly smiled: "It is a great blessing for my sister to be praised by the noble concubine!" It's just that my sister has always been thin and weak, and she has been lingering in the boudoir a lot in recent years, and she has been slowly raising, so she can't often enter the palace to ask for peace! ”

Concubine Xiao Gui rolled her eyes, patted Xiao Luomei's hand and said with a smile: "This palace just wanted to blame you for being a sister-in-law, and you little monkey blocked these words!" ”

Xiao Luomei hurriedly bowed down and said, "The courtiers don't dare."

Concubine Xiao Gui shook her head, took her up lovingly, and said with a smile: "My relatives, get up." As he spoke, he looked at Qin Nanxi again, looked at her carefully, but said to Xiao Luomei: "Mei'er, no wonder your younger brother has been thinking about it for so many years!" Such a lovely girl, this palace also likes it very much! ”

Qin Nanxi, who had been standing quietly in the hall, heard this, and unconsciously clutched the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and his mind was awe-inspiring.

Xiao Luomei looked at Qin Nanxi's figure sadly, tried her best to raise the corners of her lips, and said with a deliberate smile: "Concubine Gui doesn't know, my sister and Brother Chong have known each other since childhood, and the two of them are frolicking together, so they are naturally much more intimate than ordinary people." It's just two or three years ago that the two of them were brothers, and it was really unseemly! ”

"It turns out that there is such a period of past between the two of them, no wonder that as soon as Chong'er's child came to the palace, he was long, and he was short, and he chattered endlessly." Concubine Xiao Gui seemed to be complaining, but the smile in her words was bright, but the gaze that fell on Qin Nanxi was also full of interest.

"That's exactly what the concubine said! There is a way to be a good couple, but I am afraid that if I go through the entire Chang'an City, I can only find such a crystal-like person as Miss Qin, who is worthy of a character like the third young master of the country! The bloated lady in red took the concubine's words skillfully and considerately. In and out of her words, she was obviously praising Qin Nanxi, but in fact, she was praising Situ Chong as having nothing in the sky and in the earth.

Concubine Xiao Gui has been childless all her life, and the most beloved is her sister's youngest son Situ Chong, so when she heard this, she felt even more ironed in her heart, and the smile on the corner of her lips was a little deeper than Fang Cai.

"The courtiers are terrified!" Qin Nanxi bowed his head to the ground again, responding ruthlessly. Fang Cai had already made a plan in her heart, but now when she really had to face it, she was calm and indifferent.

"Yesterday, Nanhai County sent a string of white beads, and the palace looks at things well, so give them to Xi'er, and also take a good intention!" The noble concubine Yin Yin looked at Qin Nanxi and said with a smile. Before she finished speaking, she saw a palace maid in white come up with a bullying plate painted with gold on a red background.

In the lacquer plate, there is a thick layer of red satin with changing streamers, and on the red satin, there is a string of white bead bracelets. The white beads are the size of a finger's belly, the grains are round and full, the color is smooth and white, lying quietly on the red satin, like a lovely baby who does not know the world, in a pool of silent killing blood.

Qin Nanxi got up and looked at the lacquer plate in front of him and the string of beads in the plate. I suddenly got distracted and remembered. I only feel that the white bead in front of me is also extremely rare and precious. It's just that on his blue and white thin wrist, it is not as good as the bright red and lovely begonia red after all.

Seeing that she was silent, a strange silence flashed in the hall. Immediately, the lady in red giggled again: "Such a noble day, such a good bead, and a pair of beautiful people, isn't it just the good intention of the beads?" Speaking of which, Lord Qin is really blessed! Not to mention that the son married the daughter of the uncle, this little daughter got the blue eyes of the concubine again, and she was the matchmaker herself, she really envied a woman like a concubine! ”

When the concubine heard this, she said happily: "The marriage is already predestined, and the palace is just promoting its success!" However, in my private heart, I really hope that the two of him will unite as soon as possible! ”

Before her smiling words fell, all the women in the temple had already stood up and bowed, praising and congratulating.

Xiao Luomei also bowed at the feet of the noble concubine, falling into Qin Nanxi's eyes, her heart flowing, there was pity, distress, comfort, and admonition.

Qin Nanxi knelt down with the crowd and was about to kowtow, when she heard Xiao Luomei hurriedly remind her: "Sister, this is overjoyed, and I forgot to thank you!" Nanxi, don't thank you yet! ”

Qin Nanxi pursed her lips and smiled, bowed her head, then straightened up, knelt down in the hall, raised her gaze that had been falling, and looked up.

I saw Concubine Xiao Gui on the couch smiling at the corners of her lips, her eyes were cold, and she was quietly waiting for her surrendered thanks, Xiao Luomei on the side looked sad and worried, and in a pair of bright eyes, the light of consolation couldn't help but cast.

Qin Nanxi looked at it for a moment, kowtowed to the ground again, and said clearly: "The courtiers are terrified, it is a great fortune to be favored by the noble concubine, and I should be grateful for the grace of heaven." It's just that the courtiers are ugly, and they really don't dare and can't climb to the Guogong Mansion, and they hope that the concubine will have mercy and take back her life. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, and they resisted in public, and she clearly didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely weird, and in the silence where the needles could be heard, Qin Nanxi could even hear his beating heartbeat. It's not that she's not afraid, it's that she really can't respond to this decree.

She clearly knew that on the day Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, the thousand five armor warriors held the armor on the palace, and only then did they deter the scribes of the dynasty who were full of doubts and unwilling to surrender. And these people all take their father Qin Zi'an as the banner leader. At that time, in order to soothe the old ministers and win the hearts of the people, Emperor Longqing was particularly gracious to Qin Zi'an, who abolished the crown prince and the prince, without a trace of blame, so Qin Fu was not implicated in the East Palace.

It has been nearly a year since Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, and many of the old ministers in the court have also been washed away by the unscrupulous Uncle Xiao. Now, there is only one Qin Mansion left, like a lonely bamboo in the wind, difficult to be independent. Because Qin Zi'an's reputation was too blazing, and he was already in his last years, the emperor and Uncle Xiao simply left him aside and ignored him. I thought that when he was exhausted, the remnants would naturally disappear.

No, some nursery rhymes and prophecies have been circulating among the people recently, and there are even rumors that the Son of Heaven is going north out of Amiri Mountain, which is spreading. Emperor Longqing, who was not on the right throne, was inevitably restless, and he was anxious to win the hearts of scholars and literati, so he thought of matching Qin Nanxi with Situ Chong.

But Qin Zi'an has a hard style, and the government and the opposition are famous, and Emperor Longqing is afraid of giving a marriage decree, but he is disrespected by Qin Zi'an's disobedience, and in the end, his reputation is earned by him. The emperor asked Concubine Xiao Gui to act. Even if it doesn't work out, there's room for manoeuvre. Concubine Xiao Gui loves Situ Chong very much, so she is naturally happy to see it. Hence this is where we are today.

Qin Nanxi adheres to his heart, there is only one person in his heart, he originally wanted to resist the order, but when he went out early in the morning, he got his father's instructions, so he resisted the order in public, and he was much calmer.

At this time, she looked at Concubine Xiao Gui, who was high above, and saw that the smile on the corner of her lips was faint, but the cold light in her eyes was getting worse, staring at her, as if looking at the child's willfulness, and said: "Oh? The young lady said, look, why don't you dare? What does it mean not to? ”

Qin Nanxi kowtowed again and got up and said calmly: "The noble concubine is graceful, although the courtiers are sparse, but they have also heard the sage say: The nature of heaven and earth, people are precious. The journey of a person is greater than filial piety. Filial piety is a matter of affection, and if you live, you will pay respect, raise you to be happy, and be sick to be worried. Now that my father is dying and sick, the courtiers don't dare to think about him, they just want to be filial to their knees. ”

Concubine Xiao Gui's expression changed slightly, and then she said lightly as usual: "Oh, this is what Miss can't do?" So what if you don't dare? ”

Qin Nanxi bowed his head and bowed, got up and said: "The noble concubine atoned for her sins, in the autumn of the eighth year of Shaoping, the first emperor gave marriage by decree, and gave the courtiers and daughters to Situ Yi, the general of Zhenyuan." Although the courtiers and General Situ have not yet performed the ceremony, they finally have a holy marriage contract. Although the general has sacrificed his life for the country, the years are short, and the courtiers dare not forget it. And between General Situ and the three princes...... The courtiers really didn't dare to think in vain! ”

Everyone present was shocked, holding their breath, and the hall was as quiet as a ghost for a while. Concubine Xiao Gui's eyes were negligent, and she sneered: "Sure enough, it's a girl from the Qin family, this body bone is indeed unusual!" ”

After a moment of silence, the noble concubine sighed leisurely again, and said lightly: "Miss Qin's filial piety is pure, she is really an example, and she should be commended!" It's just that serving under the knees is just a small filial piety after all. Lord Qin is dedicated to the country, Miss might as well go to Ruoshui Nunnery, chant scriptures every day, and pray for God to bless Dachu. Ling Zun is single-minded, and he will be gladly moved, and the illness will naturally be cured without medicine! ”

When Xiao Luomei heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She expected that Concubine Xiao Gui would punish Qin Nanxi's public rebellion, but she never expected that she would order her to enter the nunnery as a nun, and accompany the ancient Buddha and green lanterns for a long time.

But seeing Qin Nanxi kowtowing slowly, he said lightly: "Courtier, Concubine Xie Gui, Longen!" ”
