Chapter 12: The Fifth Rib
Ye Xiaoyan brought hot water to Nangong You's hands. Help him wipe his fingers one by one. At this time, Steward Zhou came to the door of the bedroom and reported inside:
"Lord Wang!"
"What?" Nangong asked.
"Father-in-law Xia is here, pass on the queen's mother's message, and set up a banquet in the imperial garden tomorrow, please bring the princess to arrive."
"Got it." Nangong Yu replied.
Steward Zhou turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Nangong You shouted to stop him.
"What does the prince command?"
"You send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you will say that the Queen has summoned the King and the Princess to the palace tomorrow." Go back to the door and go back another day. ”
"Yes." Steward Zhou was ordered to leave.
Ye Xiaoyan winked at Nangong You, with a puzzled expression: "Go back?" ”
Nangong You scratched her little nose: "Come back in three days, have you forgotten?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan suddenly realized that she really forgot.
Ye Xiaoyan asked, "Why did the queen suddenly summon us into the palace?" ”
Nangong Yu said: "It's not sudden. Originally, we should have entered the palace on the second day of the wedding, but my father was exempted from entering the palace to thank us. I guess that sooner or later the palace will summon me. Originally, I thought that you had an injury on your body, and you shouldn't go back in three days, so I used the excuse that you hadn't entered the palace yet. Since we will be summoned tomorrow, let's wait until the summons is over before 'returning to the door'. ”
Speaking of this, Nangong You was a little worried and asked, "Your injury, is it okay to enter the palace?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan said: "No problem. ”
Nangong You was still a little worried, and her eyes fell on her chest. It was as if his gaze was an X-ray machine and he could see through the chest.
Ye Xiaoyan looked into his eyes and then at his chest. Asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Nangong You frowned, pursed her lips, and asked, "Which rib are you injured?" ”
"The fifth rib on the left."
"Where's the fifth rib?"
Nangong You stretched out his hand, wanting to confirm where the fifth rib was.
Ye Xiaoyan took his hand and touched the position of the fifth rib.
Nangong You was very careful and didn't dare to touch it, but just wanted to confirm the location of the fifth rib.
Ye Xiaoyan is in line with the attitude of human skeleton education.
Well. Right. No problem. That's what they think.
Nangong squeezed his hand upward, avoiding the fifth rib and touching the position above the fourth rib. Seriously, he said, "Well, I see." I won't touch your injured ribs later. ”
Ye Xiaoyan looked down at the big hand on her chest, and realized it. Is this called luring a wolf into the house? Or is it called a thief?
Nangong You pinched it twice, laughed, and put it away. I didn't really want to do anything. Ye Xiaoyan glared at him in annoyance.
The two joked. Nangong You said seriously: "Tomorrow, my father should also come, and I will give you a 'book'." When the time comes, you will have to bow three times and bow nine times, you hurt ......" He was a little unsure whether Ye Xiaoyan would be able to do it when the time came.
"Registered?" Ye Xiaoyan doesn't understand the etiquette of this world very well.
Nangong Yu said: "I am a first-class prince, and you are naturally a first-class prince and princess." The princess has a seal. ”
"Oh!" Ye Xiaoyan understood.
She thought for a moment, and then asked, "First-class princess, what is your status?" ”
"The status is second only to the queen."
"Higher status than harem concubines?"
"Yes."
"What about the crown princess?"
"This dynasty has not yet canonized a crown prince, and there is no crown princess."
"And what if there is a prince?"
"Before the crown princess officially became the queen, you had a higher status than her." Nangong Yu touched her head and said.
Ye Xiaoyan grinned: "Then I only need to salute the emperor and empress in the future, and others don't have to salute?" ”
"Yes." Nangong looked at the little woman in front of her dotingly. Seeing her sharp smile that seemed to be so cheap, he was a little happy and a little sad in his heart. All he can bring to her is identity. As for the rest, he sighed inwardly.
Ye Xiaoyan asked curiously: "How many first-class princes are there in our dynasty?" ”
Nangong You stretched out his finger and compared: "Two." ”
"Two?" Ye Xiaoyan was very surprised. How can there be so little.
Nangong You said: "The imperial title is not hereditary. Each next generation, one level down. After three generations, if the descendants do not fight, there will be no knighthood. ”
Ye Xiaoyan was surprised: "Then our son, can't he inherit your title?" ”
Nangong You pinched her little face and said with a smile: "Where is our son?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan smiled dryly: "There will be one in the future." Then he asked, "Who is the other prince of the first rank?" ”
Nangong Youdao: "King Xiao." ”
"King Xiao?" Ye Xiaoyan said she hadn't heard of it.
Nangong You said: "King Xiao is an exception. The title of the Xiao family is hereditary. ”
Ye Xiaoyan was curious: "Why is the Xiao family so special?" ”
Nangong said: "According to the royal history books, our emperor was raised by Mrs. Xiao. Madame Xiao married her daughter to the emperor and supported him to become the first emperor of the Kai dynasty. The first son they gave birth to was surnamed Nangong and inherited the throne of the Nangong family. The second son they gave birth to, changed his surname to Xiao, and was named the first-class prince 'Xiao Wang', which is hereditary and has been inherited to this day. ”
"Oh! It turns out that King Xiao is actually a member of the Nangong family! Ye Xiaoyan understood.
She then asked, "Then King Xiao, where is it?" ”
Nangong Youdao: "In the Eastern Regions." After Mrs. Xiao supported the emperor to consolidate, she went to the Eastern Regions to establish the 'Shanhe Academy'. King Xiao also followed Mrs. Xiao to the Eastern Regions, where he lived ever since. ”
"Shanhe Academy?"
Ye Xiaoyan searched for the knowledge reserves in the original owner's memory. found the original owner, it was completely a straw bale. My mind is empty, it's really a good fish tank for fish farming. The original main door is not out of the second door, except for the little things at home, the outside world knows very little.
"Well, I studied there for six years." Nangong You said.
"You've been to school!" Ye Xiaoyan laughed and quipped.
Nangong glanced at her.
Suddenly, he was also curious, and asked, "Is there also an academy in the world you used to be in?" ”
"Yes! A lot. The list goes on and on. ”
"You also went to school?" Nangong asked curiously.
Ye Xiaoyan glanced at him: "Nonsense! I don't go to school, where did I learn my medical skills? ”
"How many years have you been studying?"
"I'll count." Ye Xiaoyan counted with her fingers. Six years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and eight years of bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies in college.
After counting, Ye Xiaoyan stretched out her two hands in front of Nangong You, stretched out her five fingers, flipped the back of her palm, and said:
"Twenty years!"
Nangong You's eyes widened, not convinced: "Liar, right?" ”
"Humph!" Ye Xiaoyan tilted her little head and snorted proudly. Believe it or not.
Nangong pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how old are you?" ”
"Uh......" Ye Xiaoyan was stuck. She was embarrassed to say she was 31 years old.
So she sloppily and said, "A little older than you." ”
Nangong You looked at her as if she was hiding something, and asked, "How much bigger?" ”
"A little."
"How much is a little bit?"
"It's just a little bit anyway."
