Chapter 62: The Empress is Please
The days passed day by day, and the day when Zhao Zili left Luoyang was getting closer and closer, and he had been closing his door these days, trying to adapt to the surging internal force in his body.
The jade pillow didn't convey more information, nor did it show more special abilities, but no matter how tired it was after every martial arts practice, as long as it slept on it, it would be refreshed the next day, and there would be no trace of fatigue.
On this day, Zhao Zili practiced martial arts in the back mountain as usual.
Gao Xiang walked over and said, "Lord, the queen mother sent someone to summon the news, and wanted to invite you to the palace, and the carriage will arrive later." ”
"Queen Mother, how can you think of me." Zhao Zili was a little surprised, whether it was Zhao Zili before or him now, he had nothing to do with the queen.
"The subordinates don't know, but the queen's face still has to be given."
Zhao Zili was a little embarrassed, the internal force in his body has not been completely tamed now, as long as he is a master, he will definitely be able to see that he is full of energy, how can there be a little weakness.
There are so many masters in the palace that the probability of being discovered is too high.
"But the prince is worried about being discovered?" Qiya said on the side: "This is easy to do, the subordinates have ten fragrant soft tendons here, and the internal force will disappear completely in two hours after taking it, but you must not let people explore, otherwise it will still be exposed." ”
"Hey, Chia, you have this kind of home travel, killing people and goods." Zhao Zili teased.
Chia was a little embarrassed, after all, the drug was a bad method.
"It's just that I'm not poisonous now, and I don't know how effective this medicine is." Zhao Zili ate the ten spices and soft tendons in one bite, and sure enough, a feeling of weakness came out of his body.
"How is the prince, how does he feel." Chia was also very curious, he had been putting this medicine for a long time, and he didn't know if it had expired.
"It's okay, it seems that the golden cicada is still young, and it is not so resistant to poison that has not been eaten."
After a while, the queen's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and Zhao Zili took Ah Ruo to get into the car with Gao Xiang's support.
"Lord Wang, be careful, the slave will catch the car slowly." Nangong Lion, the queen's coachman, and a side of the Nangong family, won the trust of the queen.
"Thank you."
Nangong Shi's heart warmed, don't look at him as the queen's chauffeur and a member of the Nangong family, few people can afford him on weekdays, and I can't imagine that the high-flying Prince Song is so easy-going.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Nangong Shi's driving was really smooth, and Zhao Zili didn't feel too bumpy along the way.
At the gate of the palace, the queen's personal maid Vivien has been waiting for a long time.
When Empress Vivien Nangong entered the palace, she followed the personal palace maid, and her martial arts skills were extremely high, but she admired Nangong Lion, and Nangong Lion also knew that she had never dared to say it because of her humble identity.
Seeing Nangong Shi's carriage coming, Vivien hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
The two glanced at each other, everything was silent, and a sour smell of love spread.
Zhao Zili looked at the two, raised his eyelids, and roared, there is something wrong with these two people.
"Ahem." Zhao Zili coughed, and the two parted embarrassedly.
Ah Ruo walked out of the carriage with Zhao Zili in his arms.
"Lord auspicious, please come with the slave maid, the queen is waiting for you in the imperial garden." Following Vivien's guidance, Zhao Zili entered the palace to see Nangong Ling, while Ah Ruo stayed outside the palace.
Today's Nangong Ling is wearing a dark blue brocade long skirt, embroidered with white plum blossoms, and uses a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist. The jet-black hair is tied into a wishful bun, and only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted.
Although concise, it looks fresh and elegant to the mirror to freshen up. The face is thinly powdered, dressed in a light blue palace dress with silk and double clouds, a newly picked white plum on the head, and only a jasper hairpin is pulled, embellished with thin silver silk beaded tassels.
Walking with lotus steps, he was strolling among the flowers, watching Zhao Zili come over, and said, "Zili is here." ”
Zhao Zili thought to himself, Empress Nangong is really a peerless beauty, no wonder Emperor Wu loves her so much.
"Erchen has seen the queen's mother."
"You're weak, so you don't need to be polite." Nangong Ling glanced at Vivien, who retreated very interestingly.
The two walked to a small pavilion and sat facing each other.
"I don't know what happened to the queen's mother summoning her sons." Zhao Zili asked.
Nangong Lingwan smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you're going to Haining soon, and someone wants you to take care of it." ”
"Oh? Who can't even take care of the queen's mother? This aroused Zhao Zili's curiosity, regardless of whether Nangong Ling was the queen of the Great Zhou, or the Nangong family was also one of the best families in the Great Zhou, who else could she take care of.
"Many people don't know that there is a younger brother in this palace, so you must be the same." Nangong Ling looked at Zhao Zili, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Zhao Zili was stunned, indeed, almost everyone in the world thinks that Queen Nangong is an only daughter, why did she suddenly have a younger brother.
"He is the son of my father Nangong Batian and a demon sect woman, so he can be regarded as a half-brother."
Nangong Ling's words are not shocking, Zhao Zili was blindfolded at that time, this news is too scary.
"When I was a child, I had a good relationship with him and grew up together, but outsiders in the family never knew that I had this younger brother." Nangong Ling's expression was gloomy, he liked this younger brother very much.
"Even so, with the status of the queen and the Nangong family, it won't be my turn to take care of it."
"Because he has left the Nangong family since he entered the palace, and he hates the family for sending me into the palace."
The corners of Zhao Zili's mouth twitched, feeling that this is a sister slave, and then asked: "I don't know where this younger brother is now, why do you want your son to take care of it?" ”
"Your fiefdom is in Haining, and he is not far from you, the Baishi Villa in Lingbi Mountain." Haining and Lingbi Mountain both belong to Jinzhou, and they are only 100 miles together.
"Baishi Villa, Niangniang, your younger brother is Lijian Nangong Jueyu." Zhao Zili was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the famous Lijian turned out to be the queen's younger brother.
Nangong Jueyu, the owner of Baishi Villa, is both good and evil, and the unparalleled form of swordsmanship in the world is only for his own likes and dislikes, and never cares about the so-called good and evil.
"yes, I didn't think you knew."
"Niangniang doesn't know, a group of guards have been recruited from the Erchen Mansion, some of them are from the rivers and lakes, and they often tell the sons and daughters some interesting things about the rivers and lakes, and the name of Nangong Jueyu will also be often mentioned."
Nangong Ling nodded and said, "I see, then you should know that Jueyu is acting a little arrogantly, and the family wanted to see him several times, but he beat him out." ”
Then she shook her head with a wry smile, she was really helpless against this younger brother.
"Erchen understands, the queen mother wants me to use the name of the prince to expel those who have bad intentions and want to use Nangong Jueyu."
Zhao Zili understood, Nangong Jueyu has a special identity, although the Nangong family has done a good job of secrecy, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, once Nangong Jueyu is used or caught by someone with a heart, then there will be a great restraint on Nangong Ling.
But Zhao Zili is different, he can use the name of the prince to drive away those ill-intentioned people in Jinzhou without attracting too many people's attention.
"Officially, this palace will write to him, asking him to cooperate with you, and if necessary, he will hide in your fiefdom."
Zhao Zili was shocked, this is a simple care, it is obvious that he is letting Nangong Jueyu to work under him, is it to spy on him? But there is no need to tell him so much, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this queen mother.
"Niangniang's will, the son will definitely obey, and he will try his best to take care of Niangniang's younger brother." Zhao Zili didn't bother to think about it, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.
Nangong Ling was very happy when she saw that Zhao Zili agreed, took out a small bottle and handed it to Zhao Zili, and said: "This matter is the secret medicine of the royal family, Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill, which is very good for the body, and the palace is only such a small bottle a year, you may be able to help you a little if you take it." ”
"Thank you Niangniang, but the son is disrespectful." Take one pill on the spot, and it tastes sweet and feels good.
The two talked again, Zhao Zili chose to retire, Nangong Ling did not force him to stay, Vivien helped Zhao Zili up before walking the mountain, and touched Zhao Zili's pulse with unfavorable traces.
After sending Zhao Zili away, Nangong Ling changed the kindness just now, and replaced it with a cold style, and the momentum of the queen mother was vividly displayed.
"How is it, how is King Song's health." It turned out that Empress Nangong had been testing Zhao Zili.
"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid just touched the pulse of King Song, although it was very short, but I could still feel that his body was very empty, but there was a force to support him."
"He just ate a snow ginseng jade toad pill, it's strange that he doesn't have the strength."
Vivien nodded and said, "Imperial Doctor Li has been diagnosed and treated many times, and the results are all the same, so I think there should be nothing to hide from his medical skills." ”
Nangong Ling also nodded, obviously agreeing with her words.
Li Shizhen is the first imperial doctor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many people who are bound to die have been saved, if someone shouts that I don't believe in Li Shizhen's medical skills, he will be drowned by the spittle of the people of Luoyang City in an instant.
"Niangniang, is it really appropriate to hand over the little son to King Song?"
Nangong Ling smiled and said, "You don't understand, many things that have happened recently, this palace feels that it has something to do with King Song, but there is no trace of it. ”
Looking at the direction of Lingbi Mountain, Nangong Ling sighed slightly: "Jueyu is arrogant and has offended too many people, just because King Song can't live long, His Majesty's attention to him can be maintained for a few years, and it is most suitable for him to help Jueyu." ”
Vivien nodded and said: "In this case, Your Majesty is currently only handing over all the military and political affairs of Haining to King Song, why don't you add a fire and let Your Majesty seal a few hundred miles more to King Song, so that Gongzi's Baiyu Villa is within King Song's fiefdom, wouldn't it be more convenient." ”
Nangong Ling's eyes lit up: "Yes, you are still smart, and it is not in vain that this palace will take you with you." ”
Vivien was overjoyed and said to Nangong Ling: "It is the honor of the slave maid to solve problems for the mother. ”
And what she thought in her heart was that as long as she made more meritorious contributions, maybe one day the queen would allow him and Nangongshi to do it as soon as she was happy.
Zhao Zili left the palace, and Nangong Shishi drove him and Ah Ruo back to the palace in a carriage.
