Chapter 59: The Palace Banquet Garden
Qingmao went from the princess getting up to the time she returned home, and told the whole story. After speaking, he slammed his head on the ground: "Please punish the prince!" ”
After listening to Nangong You, he thought of the fight between the three women that Duan Haoqi talked about in the restaurant, it turned out to be Ye Xiaoyan and Qingmao.
Nangong asked Qingmao: "Do you know martial arts?" ”
Qingmao replied: "Slaves and maids used to be jugglers, and they practiced from the age of four until they were thirteen years old. ”
"Are you practicing external skills?" Nangong You asked.
"Yes, I know a little bit about fur." Qingmao replied.
"From tomorrow onwards, I will ask the wind to teach you external skills. Learn from him. ”
Qingmao was surprised, and said hesitantly: "The prince doesn't punish the slave and maid? ”
Nangong said: "The princess asked this king not to punish you." You should thank the princess for her love for you. Learn from the wind and protect the princess in the future. ”
"Yes!" Qingmao kowtowed heavily. Tears couldn't help but fall out. Growing up so big, no one has ever stood up for her. What a noble person the princess is, in order to defend her today, she actually fights with others. She is a slave and maid, and her life is like a mustard, and she is really not worthy of the princess. Qingmao secretly swore in his heart that he would protect the princess to the death in the future.
Nangong You turned around and asked Hurricane: "You said, you saw Lu Junjie stop the princess outside the door?" ”
"Yes." Tempest replied.
"Do you know where that red-clothed maid is?"
"My subordinates don't know. However, the subordinates guessed that it might be from the Lu Mansion. ”
Nangong pondered. said, "You go check it out." Don't let people know that it was the princess who fought today. ”
"Yes."
Nangong You felt a headache and a distress. He knew that Yan'er had a strong temperament, and sometimes she was arrogant and unreasonable. However, the princess fought and smashed people with a stool, if this was spread, how would Yan'er pretend to be gentle and virtuous in the future. Ah, no, Yan'er is gentle and virtuous.
Nangong Yu finished understanding what had happened and returned to the bedroom. Ye Xiaoyan lay on the bed with her eyes open.
"Why don't you sleep?" Nangong You asked.
"What time is it? Isn't it time to get ready to enter the palace? Ye Xiaoyan asked.
"If you're not well, don't go."
"What's the matter, in case the emperor and queen ask."
"I'll help you out. Just lie down and rest. ”
Ye Xiaoyan really doesn't want to get up now, thinking that she has to deal with those people when she goes to the palace, since this is the case, she won't go.
At the beginning of the palace dinner, most of the people in Shen Shi were basically reached. Nangong You came to the palace banquet garden at the end of Shen Shi, and the official palace banquets in the palace were held here. The last time there was a banquet in the Imperial Garden, Nangong You heard it and knew that the queen didn't pay attention to it. But it is also said that he is a crippled prince, and Yan'er is an unfavored concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the queen does not take the couple in her eyes at all. Probably because of this, the emperor placed the canonization in the main hall of the previous dynasty and when all the ministers were still present at the end of the court meeting. It's kind of compensation.
Nangong You has not been close to these people in the palace since he was a child, or rather, he is not close to these blood relatives of his. Except, of course, for the emperor. On the contrary, it is more like a family with King Xiao's family. Especially Xiao Yuhan.
At the age of eleven, he went to study at the Eastern Regions Chengshan River Academy, Xiao Yuhan was the same age as him, and they enrolled at the same time. At that time, in the academy, the two of them naturally formed a party with the highest status. Both are gifted and noble, and disdain to be in the company of others. Others, on the other hand, wanted to be with them, but they couldn't fit into the circle of these two. Only Duan Haoran, who occupied the relationship with his relatives, and had a dead face, insisted on inserting it. However, Duan Haoran only studied in the college for one year, and his grades were too poor, so he failed the study abroad exam in the second year and left the college.
The learning system of Shanhe College is to first choose a subject and be admitted to it. Then at the end of the year, there will be a study exam, after which you can continue to stay in the college, choose another subject, study again, and take the exam again. As long as you can get by, you can keep learning. If you choose a subject and don't study hard, you can't pass the year-end exam, so you can only be discharged.
At that time, Nangong You and Xiao Yuhan were not only able to pass every year, but they were either the first or the second, for six consecutive years.
For most people, it's good to be able to read until the third year, and it's rare to get four or five years. They don't have to say six years, even another seven or eight years are okay. It's just that learning is only the foundation, and in the end, you have to live your own life, and you can't keep learning. Therefore, Nangong You returned to the capital when he was sixteen years old.
Nangong You stood in the garden in a daze for a while, and suddenly, a hand slapped him from behind.
"Why are you standing here alone?" Xiao Yuhan asked, "What about your princess?" ”
"She didn't come." Nangong You turned around.
"Didn't come? At lunchtime, you said that there was an emergency, could it be that something happened in your house? ”
"No, Yan'er is sick."
"Yan'er?" Xiao Yuhan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "You love this Yan'er of your family very much." ”
"Yan'er is the princess."
"Oh." Xiao Yuhan also thought that Yan'er was Nangong You's favorite concubine.
Xiao Yuhan said: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, why was it the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was married, but the second lady who got married?" ”
"It's a long story."
"It's this sentence again, can't you make a long story short?"
"To put it short, it's to marry my sister instead."
Xiao Yuhan was choked and said, "This is too short, let it be a little longer." ”
Nangong You said: "I was seriously injured and disabled more than a year ago, and my health is better this year, my father urged me to get married, and the Ye family wanted to regret the marriage, but they didn't dare, so they used their second daughter to marry my sister instead." ”
Xiao Yuhan was surprised: "The Ye family actually dares to do this!" ”
"Father's approval." Nangong You said: "Ye Fusheng is an old slippery head, he went to the emperor in advance to cry and beg, as long as the emperor does not object, he is not a bully." ”
"Then," Xiao Yuhan was indignant for Nangong You: "Then you willingly accept it?" ”
"I'm a waste, it's the same to marry anyone."
"Aren't you okay now?"
Nangong You's face spread a warm smile and said, "It is precisely because I am married to the second daughter that my legs can be good." ”
"The second miss of the Ye family is a miracle doctor?"
"It's not." Nangong looked around, saw that there was no one nearby, leaned close to Xiao Yuhan and whispered, "Second Miss, it's a soul from another world. ”
He couldn't resist sharing the secret. told Mama Rong before that she wanted Mama Rong to maintain Ye Xiaoyan, and she was quick for a while. Now I say with Xiao Yuhan that the meaning is different, this is to share the secret. The only person in this world who can share this secret with him is Xiao Yuhan.
When Xiao Yuhan heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Nangong You continued: "The real Ye Mansion's second lady, Ye Wanyan, died on the day she got married, and now she is living in her body is a soul from another world, Ye Xiaoyan. ”。
"You, you, you, you." Xiao Yuhan trembled his fingers and pointed at him: "You have been with a dead man?" ”
