Chapter Forty-Six: The Black-bellied Emperor

Nian Mansion, West Wing Partial Courtyard.

Qianqian stood in front of the courtyard, craned her neck and looked left and right, just heard a voice from Fumei's yard, why couldn't she sit still in the house, she was always afraid that this An Zhimei would come up with some ideas, and it would be difficult for Nian Yingxi to come.

A shadow slowly walked towards the courtyard from a distance, and Qianqian, who was carrying a lantern, saw that it was Nian Yingxi, and hurriedly trotted forward, checking left and right, "Miss, why did you come back?" Is something wrong? ”

Nian Yingxi was confused by Qianqian's successive questions, "Why is this?" ”

Seeing that Nian Yingxi didn't look like she had been wronged, Qianqian put her heart at ease, smiled and shook her head, "I just heard a voice from the second aunt's yard, and I thought that the second aunt was grinding the master again to be embarrassed for Miss, but now that I see that Miss is doing well, I am relieved." ”

Nian Yingxi was stunned for a moment, through the hazy candle flame, looking at the sincere anxiety on Qianqian's young little face, her heart warmed a little, thinking that she was going to leave soon, she couldn't help but take her hand, and asked seriously, "Qianqian, I may not stay here for a long time, don't ask me where I'm going, don't ask me what I'm going to do, I just want to ask you a word, if I plan to leave with you, are you willing to follow me?" ”

"Miss ......" Qianqian was a little confused, her round eyes were full of doubts, but soon she firmed up her expression and tightened Nian Yingxi's hand, "Where Miss goes, Qianqian will go, as long as Miss doesn't dislike Qianqian's clumsiness, Qianqian is willing to follow Miss for the rest of her life." ”

"Silly girl." Nian Ying smiled and touched her head, turned around and pulled her towards the courtyard together, "I won't marry you, where did I come from." ”

"Qianqian is willing to follow Miss and never marry!" In fact, she planned to follow Nian Yingxi for a long time, but she didn't have time to say this sentence, and then when she wanted to say it, she was a little afraid and didn't dare to speak, in her heart, the current Nian Yingxi is brave and strategic, and she is no longer the fish and meat that was slaughtered at the beginning, she was afraid that Nian Yingxi would dislike her clumsiness, so her heart was suppressed.

Nian Yingxi naturally knew the meaning of Qianqian's words, but she had always disliked heavy topics, so she deliberately distorted and said, "Since you express your love like this, I can reluctantly accept it." ”

Qianqian opened her mouth in surprise, unable to keep up with Nian Yingxi's quick jump of thought.

Nian Yingxi smiled at her thief, stretched out a hand, and raised Qianqian's chin with contempt, "Although it is not a national fragrance, it is also fresh and elegant, let me taste you first, if you serve well, maybe I will marry you in the future." As he spoke, he suddenly touched Qianqian's waist with his hands up and down.

At this time, Qianqian understood that Nian Yingxi was joking with her, and at the same time, her face was red and her ears were red, and she hurriedly fled, "Miss, you are really bad!" ”

"Am I bad? I haven't eaten it yet, why are you broken? Nian Ying smiled happily and chased after Qianqian.

"Hahaha——! Miss don't, don't scratch, I was wrong, wrong. ”

"If you know it's wrong, come to bed! Ha ha! ”

"Hahaha......!"

Under the moonlight, from the courtyard of this year's mansion that was ignored by everyone, there was a continuous sound of cheerful laughter, such cheerful laughter, not only pierced the darkness of the night, but also made the little maids passing by nearby also infected. A soft smile hung on his face.

When he was a child, Pinghu Palace.

In the quiet study, Yu Wenze kept wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and from time to time raised his eyes to sweep Xuan Yuehuai, who was sitting behind the desk, and his heart couldn't go up.

He was summoned by the guards of the King of Pinghu in the middle of the night, not to mention that there was not even a sedan chair along the way, he was sandwiched in the middle by two guards and flew all the way, and after arriving at the Pinghu Palace, the Prince of Pinghu didn't say a word, just sat behind the desk and looked at the scroll, almost as if he had become transparent.

About half an hour passed, and it wasn't until Yu Wenze was already sweating and about to collapse that Xuan Yuehuai buttoned up the scroll and raised her eyes, "Lord Yu came in the middle of the night, it was really hard." ”

Yu Wenze, who was in the fugue too empty, suddenly heard this voice, and was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the chair, trembling his legs and hurriedly getting up, coughing lightly and said, "The prince of Pinghu is serious." ”

"Sit down." Xuan Yuehuai stretched out her finger and pointed to the chair behind Yu Wenze, with a smile on her face, "Actually, it's not a big deal to find Lord Yu today, but when this king went to visit the imperial brother in the palace today, he saw that the imperial brother was depressed, I don't know if Lord Yu knows why?" ”

Yu Wenze was a clever man, thinking to himself, except for being in the court, he had not been summoned privately for a long time, and now that the emperor was depressed, how could he know?

Xuan Yuehuai saw that Yu Wenze didn't speak, smiled and said, "This king heard that the imperial brother recently asked Lord Yu to draw up a holy decree, saying that it was for Lord Yu to find an auspicious time to send out, and I want to send this holy decree for a long time, so this king thinks that this holy decree will be delayed too slowly." ”

Even if Yu Wenze is stupid, he finally understands this time, in fact, when he heard that he was asked to send someone to send it at a time, he was very puzzled, generally the Ministry of Rites only cares about the intention of marriage, and does not care about auspicious days, but then he thought that since the emperor said so, he will respond first, and then when the emperor thinks it is appropriate, he will naturally come to urge him.

It's just that he waited for so many days, and he didn't wait for the father-in-law around the emperor, but waited for the most trusted prince around the emperor.

Xuan Yuehuai looked helplessly at the screen on her side, and urged helplessly, "Why didn't Lord Yu speak?" ”

Yu Wenze nodded, "Back to the prince's words, Xia Guan was just counting auspiciousness." ”

"Oh?" Xuan Yuehuai hooked her lips and smiled, "I don't know if Lord Yu can calculate it?" ”

"Tomorrow is a double day on the lunar calendar, it is appropriate to break ground, it is suitable to get married, it is suitable to be promoted, and it is difficult to find three suitable only in Japan, so tomorrow will be a day of destiny." After Yu Wenze finished speaking in one breath, he couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable in his anxious heart, to be honest, since this holy decree was prepared, he really hadn't slept for a day, not only to block the temptations of all directions, but also to carefully keep the holy decree, it was like a year.

Xuan Yuehuai smiled and nodded, "Then tomorrow there will be a lot of labor." As he spoke, he clapped his hands and let the guard at the door in.

As soon as Yu Wenze saw that these two guards were the two who had just picked him up, his head suddenly became bigger, and he glanced at Xuan Yuehuai, who had locked his eyes on the scroll again, and bitter water was dripping in his heart, and it seemed that he was going to be sent back by flying again.

It wasn't until Yu Wenze was taken out of the courtyard by the two guards that Xuan Yuehuai threw down the scroll in his hand again and smiled helplessly at the screen, "If the imperial brother wants Yu Wenze to announce the holy decree, just send someone to pass it on, why bother so much?" ”

Xuan Yining, who was still dressed in black, walked out of the screen, looked at the dark night outside the window and smiled faintly, "If I send someone to go, it reaches Nian Gengrong's ears, even if the holy decree is written on Nian Yingxi's name, he will definitely think that it was I who received the news that his third daughter had been married, so I changed the candidate to Nian Yingxi, I don't like to look at the opponent proudly, so I want to make Nian Gengrong's old fox startle, I will be comfortable." ”

Xuan Yuehuai was made to cry and laugh by this set of rhetoric, "Brother Huang, after so many years, you still pay so much attention to the process, if the process is not exciting, even if you win, you will feel bored." ”

Xuan Yining picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip gently, stretched his long eyebrows, and revealed the deep light in his eyes, "This is a boring world, if there is no stimulation of the process, wouldn't it be more like a year?" ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Xuan Yuehuai said, and suddenly winked at Xuan Yining slyly, "I think my future sister-in-law is very interesting." ”

Xuan Yining's hand holding the teacup paused, and after just a moment, he directly diverted the topic, "Tomorrow's morning morning, remember not to delay." With that, he got up and jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Xuan Yuehuai said to Xuan Yining to leave, it has become commonplace, and she didn't even have the effort to be surprised, she got up and walked out of the study, and walked slowly towards her yard.

Nianfu.

The morning sun dispelled the thin mist and painted the whole land with a warm yellow.

Nian Gengrong, who had just left the court, returned to the Nian Mansion, and was just about to go to breakfast, when he heard a report from the little maid, saying that the Li family's dowry had been delivered to the door.

Nian Gengrong nodded, and ordered the little servant to call An Zhimei and Nian Yingchun to the main gate, and then he walked towards the gate of the mansion first.

When Nian Gengrong walked to the door of the mansion, the door of the Nian Mansion had been piled up with a small hill of dowry gifts sent by Li Liansheng himself, and the crowd around him was even more overcrowded.

Li Liansheng, who sent off the guests overnight and bought the wedding gift overnight, and personally sent it, walked out when he saw Nian Gengrong, and hurriedly took a few steps forward with a kind smile, "In order to show my heart, I deliberately rushed early in the morning, and I hope I didn't disturb the rest of my in-laws' house." ”

This 'in-laws' made Nian Gengrong a mixture of joy and sorrow, and the matter has come to this point, so he can only nod lightly, "The in-laws have worked hard, can we go into the house and have a cup of morning tea together?" ”

Li Liansheng rushed early in the morning, of course, he was afraid that after a long time, Nian Gengrong would regret it, but now when he heard Nian Gengrong's change of words, he was naturally overjoyed, "Then disturb the in-laws." ”

"Who's your in-laws?" Nian Yingchun, who came out with An Zhimei in his arms, roared angrily, looked at the dazzling dowry, and even more lost his temper, and stepped forward in a few big steps, and pushed the dowry that had been placed on the ground, and began to step on it directly.

"This ......" Li Liansheng was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Nian Gengrong.

Seeing that there was still a crowd outside, Nian Gengrong couldn't get angry for a while, so he could only sink his face and cough angrily.

"Chun'er!" An Zhimei saw Nian Gengrong's face, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Nian Yingchun, although she was not reconciled, but this matter was already a certainty, if she continued to mess around like this, I was afraid that Nian Gengrong would be punished with her.
