Chapter 75: Getting What You Want
Tossing and turning, sleepless night.
Nan Jinyu got up with a pair of panda eyes, looked at the tray on the table, and muttered in her heart.
Xiao Chen, that demon, is he afraid that others won't know what he has to do with him? I chose the same material for the clothes......
"Girl, this is sent by Yebai early in the morning, please be sure to wear this dress to the palace today."
Tsing Yi listened to her tossing and turning over all night, and naturally understood what she was struggling with.
As soon as the talisman comes out, the master doesn't know how long it will be, if the relationship between the two is undecided, there will naturally be no good result, even if His Majesty points to the marriage, I don't know when it will be the return date......
"Well, that's it."
Nan Jinyu bowed, Xiao Chen has always been cautious in doing things, since he let himself wear this clothes, he must have his intentions, not necessarily because she is wearing too cold on weekdays, which makes him feel dull.
After washing and changing clothes for breakfast, and explaining the marketing plan of the Green Tip store for next month, Nan Jinyu finally felt a little sleepy.
"Tsing Yi, what time is it?"
"It's almost time, girl."
Tsing Yi replied truthfully, if a message came out from the palace, it would be almost there.
While the master and servant were talking, there was a commotion at the door.
"Miss, Miss! Someone is in the palace! ”
Green Tip trotted in all the way, out of breath and down the airway.
As soon as she walked outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion, she saw a carriage coming from the palace, so she hurried back to deliver the message.
"Let's go."
Nan Jinyu tidied up her clothes, put on the Dongzhu hairpin on the table, and greeted her unhurriedly.
"Ahem! This is the courtyard where Miss Nanda lives? ”
Gonggong Gui stood at the gate, looking at Qingfeng Yuan's eyes with disgust.
This place looks like a place where the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion lives, and it is larger than the courtyard of ordinary people, and at first glance I thought it was the subordinate room of the Guogong Mansion!
"Back to my father-in-law's words, yes!"
Mama Ning followed behind and laughed, muttering in her heart.
Although Nan Jinyu's girl helped Miss Jinse yesterday, it is impossible for Miss Guanyu to change her opinion today, why did someone come to the palace to announce the decree?
"This is the eldest lady of the Nan family?"
Gonggong Gui glanced at the woman who came out in front of him, and his dim eyes suddenly lit up.
There are rumors in the market that the Nan family is a beauty, I thought that Nan Jinyu used some small means to provoke the Hou Shizi of Yongning and the king of Jiangyang County to fight, I don't want the real person to be so beautiful!
"Exactly."
Nan Jinyu saluted slightly, and her eyes swept over the eight little eunuchs who followed behind Gonggong Gui, and she understood a little in her heart.
This Gonggong Gui should be the great eunuch in front of the emperor, and this pomp and battle is really as Xiao Chen expected!
"Nan Jinyu takes the order! Spread His Majesty's edict, so that the daughter of the Nan family, Jinyu, should quickly enter the palace to participate in today's palace banquet. ”
After Gonggong Gui finished speaking, his eyes fell on the Nanhu Dongzhu on Nan Jinyu's head, and his eyes were shining.
Don't talk about this Yanjing, it's the whole Dayan, the person who can take such a big Dongzhu as jewelry doesn't think about it except His Royal Highness King Qin, this girl is really not simple!
"The courtier, Nan Jinyu, obeys the order!"
Nan Jinyu saluted, and saw that Grandpa Gui's gaze was still on his face, and he was slightly stunned, "Grandpa Gui, shall we set off now?" ”
"Oh? Yes! Let's go......"
Only then did Gonggong Gui come back to his senses and lead the way.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet entered the palace Nan Jinyu went with the mentality of hiding and watching the show, but as a result, Nan Jinning's calculations were in the limelight, and he instantly became the popular fried chicken in Yanjing!
This time it was different, she was sent into the palace by Emperor Cheng Xuan, and she became the target of public criticism before she arrived, but she didn't know what was going on......
Xu was because the carriage followed the forbidden army in front and back, and the speed and rhythm of the march were not the same as in the past, and the pedestrians avoided the carriage and horses and retreated, and entered the palace unimpeded.
"Miss Nan, it's here."
Outside the carriage, there was the voice of Gonggong Gui, which was a reminder.
"There is Father-in-law."
Without waiting for Nan Jinyu to get out of the car, the sound of communication was transmitted from the bottom of the steps into the main hall of Hanyuan Palace, and the echoes were bursting, showing the formality of this occasion everywhere.
A moon-white figure walked up the white marble steps, and it was not real from a distance.
Everyone held their breath, and their eyes widened to see what a beautiful face this woman who had provoked everyone to fight for it.
The person who came just often wore the jade hairpin, the plain face was not shocked, but it was clear and attractive without powder, and the starry eyes were slightly constricted like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, so that the color of the three thousand powders was lost.
"Courtier, Nan Jinyu, knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Walking to the middle of the main hall, Nan Jinyu saluted dignifiedly, but muttered in her heart.
All the courtiers are wearing court clothes, and according to the position of the official department, even Xiao Chen's demon rarely passes on the indigo court clothes, where is this palace banquet?
"You are the eldest daughter of Nan Aiqing's family?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and his sleepy face was a little more radiant.
The rumors are true, they are really alike!
"Back to Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter is Nan Jinyu."
Nan Jinyu lowered her eyes and said, thinking to herself what happened to her? Can you be famous in this Hanyuan Palace?
"Get up and speak."
Emperor Cheng Xuan pondered for a moment, glanced at the few people who were blushing in the face, and said with a smile: "I have encountered a problem, why don't you talk about it with the girl of the Nan family, how to solve it?" ”
"Your Majesty, please say that the courtiers will do their best to share your Majesty's worries."
Nan Jinyu said that her heart was not good, and she secretly glanced at Xiao Chen.
Among the courtiers who were all navy blue, the big demon was the most eye-catching, because he was so immortal that he wore the diamond hair crown that he gave him yesterday with a blind man's titanium alloy eyes......
"The military reports on the Northwest Frontier are frequent, and the alien races have repeatedly invaded and harassed the border people. The tiger charm has not been released, and the general has retired, saying that he wants to marry a wife and have children, and no longer lead troops to fight, should he be punished or rewarded? The heirs of the two major families fought just to grab a woman, should it be fulfilled or killed? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan's words changed, his face was solemn, as if he was angry.
"This ......"
Nan Jinyu swallowed her saliva, and her eyes quickly swept over the king of Jiangyang County and the prince of Yongning, seeing that their faces were extremely bad, and they seemed to understand something.
In front of the palace, these two people are just afraid that they are crazy, right? What the hell is going on?
"What? Didn't you just say that you shared my worries? Scared? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan glanced at Xiao Chen, and saw that his eyebrows did not move, and he looked like an old monk was settled, and the anger in his heart did not come to one place.
A few years ago, he asked him to marry a wife, but now he doesn't even want a tiger talisman in order to marry a princess, not to mention whether he agrees or not, who has the ability to take over the 300,000 troops in the northwest who are in danger?
"If Your Majesty wants to hear the foolish opinion of the courtiers, please first atone for the sins of the courtiers discussing the government in vain."
Nan Jinyu straightened her back, neither humble nor arrogant.
Emperor Cheng Xuan wanted to force her to make a choice, but he didn't know how to answer this multiple-choice question to satisfy his old man?
"Huh? I forgive you for your innocence! ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect her to really dare to answer.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The courtiers thought that the easiest of the three things was the last one, and it was common for them to be young and frivolous, and if they killed the heirs of the two families because of this, it was really unreasonable......"
Nan Jinyu smiled and began to talk serious nonsense.
"Poof!"
"Ahem......"
Laughter rang out from all directions, softening the solemn atmosphere in the hall.
Since ancient times, emperors have really been the same, threatening people's lives at every turn, she is really afraid!
Nan Jinyu's neat look is just not to accept Emperor Xuan's words!
Why did the King of Jiangyang County and the Marquis of Yongning fight to kill her? Shouldn't these two snakes with abnormal brain circuits be taken in?
"Uh-huh! What about the other two? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan couldn't say that he wanted to kill her, but his face was not as ugly as before.
Looking at this character, you know that she is cunning, no wonder even King Qin thinks she is good.
"The alien race on the northwest border is coming, and the plan is nothing more than two! First, for grain, this summer is hot and drought, the northwest region is getting more and more serious, there is no harvest and there will be a famine in winter, because they can't hold it back before the autumn, and they want to fight the autumn wind to prepare for the winter; Since the closure of the border horse market three years ago, the materials that could have been exchanged have become more and more scarce, coupled with the frequent civil wars of many tribes, in recent years, there is probably no shortage of land and everything is lacking for border aliens. ”
Nan Jinyu pondered for a moment and analyzed the situation concisely.
There is no doubt that the national strength of this era is strong, but the closure of the border and the interruption of trade are not necessarily a good thing, and the history is always strikingly similar, and there are many lessons to be learned!
"Go on."
Emperor Cheng Xuan frowned slightly, glanced at Xiao Chen, and saw that his eyebrows were still calm and calm, and he was slightly surprised in his heart.
He thought that Xiao Chen was interested in the power of the Bai family in the southwest, so he was always hesitant about the matter of marriage, but when he looked at it today, it seemed that this might not be the case.
"If you want to have a stable border, you can try to restore the border horse market, and make rules so that people of different races can live and work in peace and contentment, do business and do business, and live a prosperous life, so that no one can think of living in exile and fighting wars."
Ignoring the surprised glances around her, Nan Jinyu spoke very calmly.
"The thirteen nomadic tribes in the northwest seem to be huge and complex, but in fact, there are only three major tribes as the leader, and the leaders of the two major tribes are the brothers of the in-laws, and the situation is relatively balanced, as long as they find a way to break the balance of one of them, they can be plunged into a long-term civil war, and then the thirteen major tribes will not have time to fight for themselves, where will they have the strength to start a war?"
The crisp sound echoed in the main hall, and the lively noise suddenly disappeared, and the Hanyuan Hall was so quiet that you could hear it clearly when a needle fell on the ground.
Is this the eldest lady of the Nanguo Mansion? This little girl's idea is strikingly consistent with the conclusion that the old men have come to after arguing and refuting for many days and nights!
"What if there is a war? Is it possible to let the Duke of Nanguo go into battle to kill the enemy? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan suddenly leaned forward and sat up straight, and a sense of oppression came to his face.
"If Your Majesty has a better candidate in his heart, the rise and fall of the family and the country is the responsibility of the husband, no matter who it is, these are the foolish opinions of the courtiers."
Nan Jinyu saw that he started digging a pit again, and she didn't plan to answer his words.
"Do you hear that? King Qin! A woman can talk about the rise and fall of her family and country, why don't you want to take charge of Shuaiyin again and go to the northwest? Do you really want me to drive this old bone to conquer it personally? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan roared at the case, completely angry.
"Father's words are serious, you haven't passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, how can you get the old word? The sons are just old and haven't married a wife yet, because of their uncertain temperament, and the father doesn't want to fulfill the sons, so why don't you invite the two guys who can get cheaper? Erchen saw that they were so powerful in fighting, and it was the same if they wanted to fight. ”
Xiao Chen replied lazily, not taking the threat of Emperor Cheng Xuan into account at all.
He didn't mention the matter of going back on his word in front of the courtiers, and he agreed to his own affairs, but he still thought about it every day?
Do you really think he's such a good talker?
"You, you, you! Are you really going to be angry? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan glared at Xiao Chen angrily, and then looked at Nan Jinyu with a calm and expressionless face, and suddenly felt that this girl seemed to be too calm, and she looked a little infiltrating.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is slightly older than His Royal Highness King Qin, and he has never married a wife, do you also consider Weichen when you come first?"
The king of Jiangyang stepped forward with a smile and made a big salute to Emperor Cheng Xuan.
"Your Majesty, if the matter of marrying a wife is arranged according to age, it will inevitably teach people to laugh off their big teeth, since people have already come, why not ask Her Majesty herself?"
Yongning Hou Shizi took a step forward, his gaze stayed on Nan Jinyu's face, and he said calmly.
She is so smart in ice and snow, how can she not see that King Qin is reluctant to go on the expedition for Sister Luoying?
When the holy woman came to the court, please stay in Beijing for more time, and His Majesty even allowed her to live in the palace of the Shifting Flowers, which was also done by the King of Qin......
"Listen! Listen up! You young people are getting more and more unorthodox! ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and pointed at Nan Jinyu for a long time and said, "Girl, who do you have a crush on?" Hurry up and get married! Save me from being so angry with them every day! ”
"This ......" Nan Jinyu glanced at the three people in front of the hall with a confused expression, and hesitated: "Your Majesty let the courtiers choose?" What if the choice is not good? ”
I've seen the prince choose a concubine, but I've never seen a woman choose a husband!
Emperor Cheng Xuan really doesn't play cards according to the routine, but this strange brain circuit is also quite strange!
"It's a big matter, Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Nan Guogong finally opened his mouth, but this was not said in vain.
"Humph! What else should I do? Nan Aiqing, do you choose? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan raised his eyebrows, and Lao Tzu was so willful that everyone really broke out in a cold sweat.
"Weichen doesn't dare!"
Nan Guogong sighed, looking at Nan Jinyu's expression became more and more incomprehensible.
I hope she is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, after today, Nan Jinyu will be inextricably linked with the Bai family, the balance of the situation is broken, and everything seems to be back to the starting point.
"It better be!"
Emperor Cheng Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes turned to Nan Jinyu, and his smile was quite penetrating.
"Choose, by the way, the other two's affairs will be solved together, I have never seen a woman with such ability, since you stabbed this basket, it is impossible to only get the benefits and ignore the consequences."
"The husband is not guilty of his crimes, and His Majesty said so, and the courtiers can't be chosen."
Nan Jinyu was sincerely frightened, but she complained wildly about this old fox in her heart.
Where is it difficult for Emperor Cheng Xuan to choose? He's obviously using himself as a shield!
"Don't choose it, do you? Then don't regret it, Nan Jinyu......"
"Father!"
Xiao Chen suddenly took a step forward and dragged the stunned Nan Jinyu to his side, looking like he was at home, "Hu Fu Erchen took it, but there is a please." ”
"Do you dare to talk to me about the conditions? You kid have stiff wings, don't you? ”
Emperor Cheng Xuan said angrily, thinking that he seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and it was difficult to pick out what he said.
"Erchen volunteered to guard the northwest border, and he did not return to Yanjing without an edict, but he asked to marry Jinyu, the daughter of the southern family, and went out with the army."
"Uh......"
Nan Jinyu was completely stunned now, what kind of operation is it to return to Beijing without an edict! Is this demon crazy?
"Have you thought about it?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan didn't seem surprised that he did this, and his complexion miraculously eased.
"It's not that Erchen doesn't want to go on the expedition, but he can't give up her, if he gives someone to Erchen, naturally there is no reason to refuse."
Xiao Chen said unhurriedly, this move was not a move he had to take, but after meeting her, everything changed.
Since he can't rest assured of himself, he has unloaded his military power and returned it, it is nothing more than that he is afraid that the power of the Southwest Bai family will belong to him, which directly threatens his status as a precious prince......
"Uh......"
Nan Jinyu rubbed her eyebrows, feeling that she really should wear a mask and come again, this impact and lethality are really a bit beyond the range of her cheeks!
"It's right!"
Emperor Cheng Xuan waved his hand impatiently, glanced at Bai Dutong, who was always silent, and said, "What do you think of Bai Aiqing?" ”
"Your Majesty! Weichen's niece has been lonely since she was a child, and now she can be favored by His Royal Highness King Qin, and Weichen is happy for her in his heart! ”
After Bai Dutong finished speaking, he also smiled at Nan Jinyu, the kindness was outrageous.
"In that case, do you have something to say, Nanjia girl?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan rolled his eyes, he even met with Nan Jinyu last night to marry King Qin, why is he very happy now?
"The courtiers were flattered."
Nan Jinyu grinded her teeth and said expressionlessly.
This demon has a high-sounding label of self-labeling, how can she still say no?
"Son-in-law, thank your father, and the emperor will be fulfilled!"
Xiao Chen smiled rarely, and pulled Nan Jinyu to salute.
"Jinyu, the eldest daughter of the Nan family, is smart and quick-witted, and she is crowned the lord of Tianqing County, and she is married to the King of Qin, and she will get married on a certain day."
Emperor Cheng Xuan said very reluctantly, but the words he said made everyone lose their big teeth.
What a blessing this Nanjia girl is, she actually got the title of county lord when she met her, although Tianqing has no fiefdom, she is not as powerful as the county lord of Nanyang, but this title alone can envy a large number of people......
"Your Majesty and courtiers thank you for your reward, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Nan Jinyu herself was still in a daze, completely unaware of what was going on, or what it was!
Xiao Chen saw that she couldn't figure out the situation, and whispered in a low voice: "The wife of the pacification envoy has always had a title, but there has never been a lady who has been named the county lord." ”
