After listening to Patriarch Mu's report, everyone was silent.

As the emperor and the heir of the Nangong family, since the first generation of emperors, he has had a wish, that is, to return to the outside world. And the heir of King Xiao also has the same wish.

Emperor Nangong pondered for a moment and said to Patriarch Mu, "Continue to protect the good goddess." If there is any further disturbance of the goddess, she will immediately send someone to report it. The Mu clan is old, and it is too hard to come to the capital in person. ”

"Thank you for your care. The old woman is indeed old, and this time she came, and there was another matter to report to the emperor. My Mu clan will be the next patriarch and decided to let Mu Rui serve as the leader. As he spoke, he asked Mu Rui to come forward and bow down.

Emperor Nangong nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Mu clan is also a special existence. They are almost isolated from the world and respect women.

Back then, their ancestor Mu was the maid of the young lady of Nangong. Fleeing with the young lady, he met the goddess on the way, and had some dealings with the goddess.

Later, when she entered the Mountains and Rivers, the people and materials brought in by the goddess from outside were all taken over by this maid. The goddess was seriously injured and hid in the mountains and rivers, which was also discovered by this maid. At that time, the young master of Nangong was still young, and everything was decided by Mrs. Xiao. Mrs. Xiao ordered her to settle down on the spot and protect the goddess until she woke up.

However, until the maid was dying, the goddess did not wake up. At that time, Emperor Nangong ordered her to pass on the mission to her descendants, and designated this area as the land of the Mu clan, and no one else was allowed to enter without permission.

The elderly maid set rules for future generations before she died. Women are not allowed to marry outside, but men are allowed to marry outside. Once you enter the land of the Mu clan, you are not allowed to leave without permission. It is also stipulated that the patriarch is selected from the younger generation, not to be virtuous, but to live longer.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere is a little solemn. The goddess moved, this is great news. According to the records of the Mu clan, for more than 700 years, the goddess has never moved. However, it may just move, and then it will not move for hundreds of years.

The emperor pondered, I don't know whether this matter is good or bad. The goddess has always been just a legend, except for the person who guards the goddess who has seen the true face of the goddess, no one has seen what the goddess really looks like. He hadn't even seen it himself.

The Queen Mother was thinking that the sixteenth of next month would be her sixtieth birthday, whether there was any sign of this.

And Princess Xiao remembered the deeds of "Mrs. Xiao". This is the ancestral deeds that every generation of their Xiao family must know, and everyone is familiar with it and reciting it backwards. If in their generation, the goddess can wake up, then their Xiao family's legacy will be completed.

"Your Majesty!"

There was a eunuch outside the door: "The queen said that the palace banquet is ready." ”

"Got it."

Emperor Nangong exhaled and said to the people in the room: "It's not a matter of a year or two for the goddess to sleep, and now although there is an abnormality, everyone doesn't have to be too excited. Everything, wait until the goddess really wakes up. ”

Then he said to the Mu patriarch: "Your Mu clan, continue to protect the goddess." Before the goddess really wakes up, the matter must be kept secret and not leaked. ”

"Yes, the old woman understands." Patriarch Mu bowed and replied.

"Let's go, go to the palace banquet." The emperor ordered.

In the main hall of the palace banquet garden. The queen, the concubine, the concubine, the eldest prince and his wife, the second prince and his wife, the third prince, the fourth prince, the eldest princess and the concubine, the second princess, and Xiao Shizi are all here.

The second princess, Jiang Manrong, asked, "King Xuan, why didn't Princess Xuan come?" ”

Nangong You replied: "The princess is sick. I was afraid that I would be sick to you, so I didn't come. ”

Jiang Manrong looked very concerned and asked, "Very seriously ill?" ”

Nangong said: "It's okay, it's just a cold." ”

"Oh!" Jiang Manrong looked relieved at this moment, and said, "Thanks to Princess Xuan for recommending the eldest lady of the Ye family to help me, otherwise, I wouldn't be too busy." ”

Nangong said lightly: "It's good if it can be useful." ”

Jiang Manrong covered his mouth and chuckled. She heard the attitude of the third prince towards this matter. Ye Fusheng, that old guy, now that the third prince has recovered, he really offended the third prince in vain. But that's fine, if they are complicit, it's not a good thing for them.

When Xiao Yuhan heard this, he looked at Nangong You, his eyes full of doubts. seems to be asking: Why do you still help the Ye family?

Nangong Youhui gave him a look. What it means: It's a long story.

Xiao Yuhan rolled his eyes: It's a long story again.

Everyone in the hall was waiting, and the emperor, the queen mother, and Princess Xiao arrived. The people stood up and saluted.

"Sit down." The emperor said: "Today is just a family banquet, everyone here is a family, so don't do the same thing as monarchs and ministers." ”

The queen told the emperor: "Princess Xuan didn't come today, saying that she was sick. ”

When the eldest prince heard this, he turned his eyes to look at the queen, his eyes full of disapproval. The queen mother was also too anxious, and before the emperor asked, she was in a hurry to say that Princess Xuan did not come.

"Oh?" The emperor turned his head to look at Nangong You and asked, "What's Wanyan's illness?" Can it be severe? ”

When the queen heard this, the emperor actually called Princess Xuan "Wanyan".

She knew that the emperor attached great importance to family affection, and called her daughter-in-law by her first name, Yayun and Manrong, instead of calling the eldest princess and the second princess. Unexpectedly, Princess Xuan also fell into his eyes and called Wanyan.

Nangong You said: "It's okay, Wanyan just wanted to take care of me, and she caught a cold at night and felt cold." I'm afraid that I'll get sick and angry with everyone. Nangong Youyou always brushes Ye Xiaoyan's good impression in front of his father.

The emperor was very relieved to hear this because of this. He said, well, it's not bad to marry a woman who loves him with all her heart. This Ye Wanyan not only took care of You'er wholeheartedly, but also contributed to the recovery of You'er's legs. He was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

At this time, Princess Xiao also stood up, saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and said: "Xiao Wang Yue suffered from pain and paralysis before, and he only had occasional pain at night before, but recently the pain has become more and more severe, the joints of his hands and feet are swollen, and it is difficult to walk. ”

The emperor was surprised: "So serious? ”

Princess Xiao thought that her husband was suffering from illness, and her heart ached, and she said, "Yes." There are also many famous doctors in Eastern Regions City, all of whom have been invited to see them, but the effect is very small. ”

The emperor said, "I will send the imperial doctor to take a look." Princess Xiao, don't be too sad, take care of yourself, King Xiao will be fine. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

When Nangong You heard it, he threw a look at Xiao Yuhan, meaning: Your father is sick? Is it really that serious?

Xiao Yuhan nodded slightly with a serious expression.

Nangong pondered. Go back and ask Yan'er, she might have a solution. Once the two of them chatted about medical skills, Yan'er's medical skills in that world were really superb, and the potions were also very exquisite. Many treatments he had never heard of. It sounds scary, but I think it's the most straightforward and effective.

The palace banquet proceeded in order, and at the end of the unitary hour, everyone dispersed. Before Xiao Yuhan left, he came to tell Nangong You again:

"Remember, arrange a place for me to live in your house, and I'll be here tomorrow."

"Your father is sick, won't you spend more time with your mother!"

"My father is sick, should I accompany my father and the king, what should I do with my mother?"

Nangong was speechless.
