These ten days of grounding, Nanling Mo practiced martial arts for two hours every day, made plasters for the old lady in the medicine house in the morning, read books and practiced characters in the afternoon, and studied the "Poison Sutra" in the evening. The ingredients for the meal and the medicinal materials for the bath have also been seen by Mei Xi, so that the birthmark on Nanling Mo's face can be better faster.

Time flies, and the ten-day lockdown has finally passed. At three o'clock on this day, Nanling Mo woke up and practiced martial arts in the courtyard as always. An hour later, Nan Lingmo sat in front of the dressing table to make up, and said to Mei Xi and Mei Qian: "I just lifted the ban today, I should ask my grandmother for peace, I will take Mei Xi and Mama Qian to go, Mei Qian, you stay." ”

Mei Xi said while dressing Nanling Mo: "County Lord, the birthmark on your face seems to be a little lighter!" ”

"It's because you're a good doctor." Nan Lingmo smiled, picked up the rouge and traced the birthmark on the left corner of the eye deeper, and then put on a mask and went out.

Rong Jintang

"The county lord is here." As soon as Mama Jin and Mama Gui helped Mrs. Jiang to the main hall, they saw Nanling Mo kneeling under the main seat.

"Mama Gui, go and help the girl up." Mama Gui said that thousands of people would help Nanling Mo

Nan Lingmo pressed Gui Mama with her hand and said firmly: "No, grandmother, my granddaughter made a big mistake and caused trouble to our palace, and my granddaughter knew that she was wrong and didn't dare to get up." ”

"You girl, yesterday your eldest brother came to ask for peace and interceded for you. For your eldest brother's sake, grandmother will not be angry. It's cold now, how can you freeze to death, get up! ”

"Mo'er, thank you, grandmother." Nanling Mo got up, walked to Jiang Lao Taijun's side, squatted down and asked, "Grandmother, have you used the plaster sent by Mo'er recently?" It's getting colder and colder, and tomorrow will be snowing, and although the snow hasn't fallen yet, it's been cold every day. Grandmother's waist and leg pain should be paid more and more attention. ”

"Good boy, grandmother feels much better." As soon as she talked about this ointment, Mrs. Jiang was happy. Not only does it not have the taste of the previous plaster, but it is also small and convenient, and it does not stain the body, so it is very convenient to handle.

"County Lord, the old ancestor used your plaster, and the old problems on his waist and knees are much better, not like in the past, when it hurt in winter, he couldn't even walk. Now the waist and legs of the old ancestor are even better than the old slave's! Mama Kim replied with a smile.

"As long as my grandmother is healthy, it is my granddaughter's greatest wish." The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and Nanling Mo accompanied her to breakfast, and then said goodbye: "Grandmother, Mo'er wants to go to see her eldest brother, tomorrow it will snow heavily, and the weather will get colder and colder, and Mo'er is a little worried." ”

"Okay, there you go! By the way, take a look at your eldest brother for your grandmother. In three or four days your father will be back, and I hope that your eldest brother will be better by then. ”

Jian Lingxuan

In the warm pavilion, Nanling Xiao leaned on the chaise longue to read a book in the camel-colored big coat, and the rosin incense burned in the warm pavilion, and Nanling Xiao let out two light coughs from time to time. Yan Chuan came in and returned: "Shizi, the county lord has come to see you." ”

After hearing this, Nanling Xiao immediately put down the book and ordered, "Hurry up and invite the county lord to come in, Yanchuan, you go and prepare tea, Yanfeng quickly help me up......"

"Big brother doesn't have to get up, he's getting cold." Nan Lingmo hurriedly said, "Today, my sister came to see the eldest brother because I thank the eldest brother for helping my sister intercede in front of the ancestors, otherwise the palace will be placed in the center of public opinion, and my sister will probably have to be grounded and punished." ”

"You, you can't be so reckless in the future." Nanling Xiao said dotingly.

"Big brother, I heard Mei Qian next to me say that there is Ren Gongzi, commonly known as the 'Yin Yang Ghost Doctor', by your side, why hasn't my sister seen him when she came back?"

"There is something going on in the Medicine King Valley, he went back to the Medicine King Valley, and he will not come out to walk around until the New Year. Besides, it is the luck of the eldest brother to associate with the eldest brother, and the person is not the personal doctor of the eldest brother, how can he follow him every day! Nanling Xiao said slightly.

"Then I'm just worried about my eldest brother's body, my father will be back in a few days, if I see my eldest brother's body and bones are much better, my father will be happy." After two teas, Nanling Mo got up to say goodbye and went out of the house all the way.

Dayan is quite loose on women, and the concubines and men can generally leave the house at any time, and the concubines will go out on the fifteenth day of the lunar month or once every ten days according to the rules set by the major families. Nanling Mo took Mei Xi out of the mansion and made an appointment with Mei Xi to meet in Ji'an Hall, and then went to Huaqi Tower alone.

After entering the secret room, "Miss," Uncle He saw her and greeted her respectfully.

"Uncle He, I can't delay too long this time, you choose what matters."

"Yes, right now, the four halls of wind and rain, rain and snow have entered the preliminary training, and the dark wind has trained very hard, and there have been five or six top-notch ones. In the past two days, three pieces of news have been circulated, all of which are about you, the county lord, one is about how arrogant you are, and the other is about the emperor's intention to welcome you into the palace. The last one is the most mysterious, saying that His Royal Highness King Yun has the will of the first emperor's second marriage, saying that he will give you to King Yun as a concubine, and then because King Yun was seriously injured, the princess died of illness, and the immortal emperor died, and this will has not been made public to the world. ”

"Are you talking about the youngest son of the first emperor, His Royal Highness the King of Yuntian Hongyun?" Nanling Mo was surprised.

"Yes," Uncle He replied respectfully, "but the county lord wants to postpone this marriage?" ”

"No, the county mainly accepts it, and it is better than entering the palace. Uncle He, you go and inquire about the news of King Yun, I need it in the past," Nanling Mo paused, and then said, "In addition, I will inquire about the news of the divine doctor Jiang Xiantong, and send the dark wind to Zhennan Wangfu to deliver the news in three days!" ”

Nan Lingmo took the golden needle handed by Uncle He and left Huaqi Tower in a hurry.

After the heavy snowfall, the weather was a little colder. On the third day of November, Zhennan Wang Nanshen returned to Beijing. As soon as Nan Shen entered Beijing, he entered the palace to face the saint, and sent the deputy general Shangguan Yu to the palace to inform Jiang Lao Taijun that the king of Zhennan would return to the palace in about two moments. The ladies of the royal palace

In a moment, the ladies of the palace headed by Mrs. Jiang were waiting at the gate of the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, far away, the shadow of Zhennan Wang Nanshen entered everyone's sight. Speaking of which, Nan Lingmo hasn't seen Nan Shen for nearly three years. Although Nanshen has a letter back to his home every year, and Nanling Mo is also mentioned, the generals are not in the capital to guard the border, and the opportunity to meet is even rarer.

When he approached the palace, the king of Zhennan saw Mrs. Jiang leading everyone to wait at the gate of the palace. He hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked forward quickly, knelt down on one leg with tears in his eyes, and said, "Unfilial children meet their mothers." ”

The old princess said in a trembling voice with excitement: "Get up, get up quickly." It's good to come back, it's good to come back safely. ”

After King Zhennan got up, he held the old princess's hand tightly: "My son is not filial and can't serve his mother, I don't know if my mother is in good health this year?" ”

The old princess wiped her tears: "Okay, okay, everything is fine with the concubine, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"The concubine/child has seen the prince/father." All the ladies behind the old princess also asked for peace.

"Okay, it's all up, it's freezing, let's go home first!"

"Yes." The king of Zhennan supported the old princess, and everyone followed into the house.

Two quarters of an hour later, Nan Shen, who had changed his armor, came to Rongjin Hall, gave the old princess a big salute, and then got up and sat on the main seat on the right. Below Nanling Mo, Nanling Xiao and the two people took the lead, followed by Concubine Zhang, Concubine Jiang Shu and their children to invite An Da gift to the king of Zhennan.

"Okay, let's all get up!"

Everyone got up and sat down in turn, according to their positions. Nan Shen looked at his family and had mixed feelings. said to Zhang Shi at the bottom right: "Yuechan, you have worked hard for so many years. Concubine Zhang wiped her tears excitedly and said with a smile: "These are all things that a concubine should do." Nan Shen nodded, greeted Concubine Jiang Shu again, and looked at the children.

"Xiao'er's body is better?"

"It's much better, thank you father."

Nan Shen deliberately skipped Nanling Mo and asked how Nanling Mei, Nan Lingce and Nanling Xiang were, and nodded when they saw that they were all good.

"Okay, Mo'er stays, and the others disperse!" Nan Shen said in a deep voice.

Nanling Mo glanced at Nanling Xiao pitifully, Nanling Xiao pursed her lips, winked at her, and then withdrew from Rong Jintang.

When everyone dispersed, Nan Shen helped the old princess into the warm pavilion in the east, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and keep up?!" Mama Kim, you also quit and close the door. Nan Lingmo was bitter when she heard the back, and she followed behind dejectedly and didn't dare to say anything. As soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he knelt down in a hurry.

"Daughter knows her mistake...... Nan Lingmo looked at Nan Shen pitifully, and then looked at Mrs. Jiang, her two eyebrows twisted like two caterpillars.

Seeing her like this, Nan Shen felt funny in his heart, and thought of the meaning of the emperor's words when he was in the imperial study, and sighed helplessly: "Get up!" ”

Nan Lingmo looked at Nan Shen's face cautiously, and said for a while: "Father, ......"

Nan Shen waved his hand, sighed and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Mother, as soon as I entered Beijing today, I went to the imperial study to meet the emperor, and I heard that the emperor meant to welcome Mo'er into the palace after the New Year......

"What?!" The old princess was surprised and said, "Welcome Mo'er into the palace?!" Not to mention that Qingrou also set a marriage contract for Mo'er before, Mo'er has just turned fifteen years old, how can she enter the palace? I probably didn't get married until seventeen or eighteen, and I can't get married according to her age! ”

King Zhennan retorted: "Mother, although Qingrou said that she had a marriage contract with Yong'an Hou back then, she was talking about the eldest daughter of the palace, not the eldest daughter of the palace or the eldest daughter...... What's more, Mei'er is still a concubine, how can she enter the palace? ”

"But how can Mo'er enter the palace like this? Why don't you put Mei'er under the name of the Jiang family? The old princess said hesitantly.

"Mother, my son really doesn't want to let the child enter the palace, our palace is high and powerful, and we will enter the palace...... Think about the first queen's mother's house......"

The old princess was silent for a long time, and said, "Then how can this be good!" The eyes of the saint are already fixed on Mo'er, and I am afraid that Mo'er's marriage will not be decided by us...... Shen'er, is there room for maneuver in this matter? ”

"Mo'er, your mother and concubine only left your brother and sister, your brother is sick and weak, if you enter the palace again, how can your father be worthy of your mother?" King Zhennan sighed, "If you really want to enter the palace, are you willing?" ”

"Father, what is the use of a child who does not want to enter the palace, but who does not want to? Father, the emperor has never seen a child," Nanling Mo said as he took off his mask, revealing the face with the birthmark in front of the prince and the old lady, only to see that the birthmark near the corner of the left eye seemed to be much larger and deeper, and it looked faintly and terrifying. Nan Lingmo said: "Maybe the emperor will give up after seeing the child?" ”

"That's it, the Queen Mother will summon you to the palace in a few days, you must be careful. Stand down, for your father has something important to say to your grandmother. ”

Half an hour later, Nanling Mo left Rongjin Hall with a solemn expression. After another half an hour, King Zhennan also left Rong Jintang and walked towards the study.
