Chapter 968 (1/2)
”See the emperor.”
In the imperial study, Nangong Yue bowed his knees and saluted him. After the emperor ordered him to lie down, he stood up.
Her waist was straight, her hands crossed in front of her abdomen. She was dignified and calm, and she did not have the slightest formality for facing the emperor.
All of them had been dismissed by the emperor, leaving only Duke Liu who was close to him.
”Girl Yue.” The emperor's voice calmly asked, ”do you know what I sent you to do?”
Nangongyue was called out in the warm Pavilion of fengluan palace. The empress wanted her to evaluate song Yuci's ”cold plum painting”. When she got out of the warm Pavilion, Xueqin told her that the emperor had summoned her, so she went to the imperial study.
Nangong Yue knew that it was mostly related to Xiao Yi or Zhennan palace, so he asked tentatively, ”emperor, but a Yi is coming back with a great victory?”
”Today, I got a letter from Princess Zhennan.” The emperor looked at her and said, ”you should be blamed for one unfilial parent and two guilty of tongue fault. Please ask me to divorce my wife.”
Nangong Yue's small face turned white. She knelt down and bit her lower lip without saying a word.
The emperor said sternly, ”what do you want to distinguish?”
Nangong Yue said firmly, ”the minister's wife has no fault. Ask the emperor to decide. ”
”How can I decide for you?”
Nangong Yue said forcefully: ”parents are wrong, as children, out of filial piety, dare not argue. But if the minister is wrong, as a king, he can blame one or two of them. ”
The emperor looked at him in silence, and Nangong Yue continued: ”as for the property, the officials and wives did not act cautiously, thus implicating the reputation of the mother and concubine. Mother and concubine have blame, the minister's wife should bear it. However, the minister's wife comes from Nangong family, and the word ”divorce” is too big to make Nangong family's hundred year old reputation suffer from his wife. What's more, there's nothing wrong with the officials and women, and they can't deserve the name of ”seven exits.”
Nangongyue was kneeling all the time, and the Emperor didn't cry out. The imperial study was quiet. Even Duke Liu, who was waiting on the side, could not help sweating. In his heart, he secretly praised the princess's liveliness and showed no fear.
For a long time, the emperor made a voice, still repeated the words just said: ”how do you let me make the decision?”
”The emperor. As a result of the invasion of the southern barbarians, the lives of the people in southern Xinjiang were ruined. The mother and the imperial concubine were kind-hearted. She wanted to pray for the southern Xinjiang in her own body, and hoped that the emperor would grant her permission. ” Nangong Yue's hands crossed, against the forehead, line kowtow ceremony.
Duke Liu was so stupid that he couldn't help but stare at the stone. He thought: the princess is too bold to ask for such a fantastic request.
All of a sudden, the emperor blurted out his laughter and broke the silence. He laughed and shook his head and said, ”my girl Yue, I really don't know how to say you. All right, get up free. ”
”Thank you very much.”
Nangong Yue didn't ask the emperor whether he agreed, but stood up according to his orders.
The emperor asked, ”the imperial edict issued by the empress should not have arrived in southern Xinjiang. Do you know what the princess of Zhennan is for?”
Nangong Yue thought and replied, ”when he was rectifying liuhezhuang, he only took the nephew of the chief administrator, but the chief steward never caught him. He guessed that he might have returned to southern Xinjiang. What's more, more than a month ago, a mother, who was given by her mother's concubine, violated the rules of the Royal Palace and was expelled back to southern Xinjiang by yue'er. There should be nothing else. Even if there is... ” She sighed a little and said, ”maybe it's because of a Yi's recent great victories.”
The emperor pondered for a moment and waved her back.
Nangong Yuefu a gift, out of the Imperial Academy.
”Huairen, what do you think?”
”The emperor.” Waiting on the side of the Liu Gonggong busy said, ”the son of a concubine is really smart.”
”Yes. Smart indeed. ” The emperor nodded slowly and said with a smile, ”even the courage is great.”
Seeing the emperor smile, Duke Liu was also relieved and said, ”that's not true. The princess dared to stay in the epidemic area in those years.”
The emperor nodded with approval and said, ”she is calm and calm, and even the day when the palace changes, she doesn't see any panic. It really made her anxious The princess of Zhennan is acting like this. If she only knows how to cry like an ordinary girl, it will not be her, but deliberately pretended to be. ”
Liu Gonggong laughed twice, but he didn't dare to say more.
After leaving the imperial study, Nangong Yue went back to fengluan palace. He first thanks the empress for letting her enjoy the painting of cold plum. Then he sat down and talked with him as if nothing had happened. Until the queen was tired, he bowed down and left with other wives.
Sitting in a soft sedan chair and leaving the palace gate, Nangong Yue took a deep breath against the cold wind.
Cold wind into the nasal cavity, she hit a thrill, the brain is also instantly clear a lot.
Lily, who had been waiting on the zhulun car, jumped down and took a warm stove. She replaced the one that was slightly cooler in her hand and helped her get on the car.
Zhu wheel car slowly driving, Nangong Yue lazily leaning on, in the heart carefully recalled the situation just in the imperial study, repeatedly confirmed whether his answer had omissions.Baihui just went to the imperial study with her just now. She was just waiting under the porch. Seeing that she has been thinking, Baihui can't help but worry. At this time, she can't help but ask, ”princess, are you ok?”
Nangong Yue raised the corners of his lips and did not conceal the two maids who served him closely. He said faintly, ”the imperial concubine asks the emperor to divorce his wife.”
”What?” Baihui and lily were surprised at the same time and looked at each other. The latter said angrily, ”how can this follow the princess like this? It's just like being naughty and wild!”
Baihui is a little worried to say: ”that emperor won't allow?”
”I am the emperor's gift of marriage. I am going to divorce my wife with these words alone, and the emperor's face will not pass.” Nangong Yue said with a smile, ”the second princess should also know that it's impossible to leave me with this fold, but she wants to give me a power by virtue of her mother-in-law and Princess fan's identity. In the new year's day, the book was openly handed to the emperor. According to the law, no matter if I did something wrong, I would be called by the queen to reprimand me for a second, so as to give her a face. I'm afraid I'll be the laughing stock of the whole king if I'm reprimanded in the new year. It's a pity She didn't choose the time well. The fact that the stepmother encroached on her stepson's property has just come to light, and she will only annoy the emperor by telling a villain first. ”
Hearing that the emperor would not blame Nangong Yue, the two servant girls were all relieved.
Nangong Yue covered the stove and drank a cup of hot tea. The brazier in Zhu Lun's car was so warm that she felt dizzy and sleepy.
Xiaofang's actions undoubtedly gave her an opportunity. The more aggressive Xiaofang was, the more vulnerable Xiao Yi was. Her attitude in the imperial study also clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with Xiaofang's family. Although the emperor valued filial piety, xiaofangshi was only a stepmother, not a mother. Her dissatisfaction with her would not disgust the Emperor, but sent a letter Interest -- a message that there is no harmony between two generations of Zhennan Wangfu.
Since Xiao Yi was weak, the emperor would naturally support him.
That's enough
Nangong Yue gently breathed a breath. She had already done what she should do. Next, it depends on the emperor's intention.
But in any case, Yi's industry has passed the Ming Road. After the new year, she will be able to take it back.
Nangong Yue closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while, until zhulun car stopped at the second gate of Zhennan Wangfu, which was awakened by Baihui.
It was near noon.
Just arrived at the Fufeng courtyard, Nangong Yue didn't have time to change his clothes. Magpie quickly reported that the emperor had a reward.
Nangongyue went to the two gates to meet him. The emperor generously gave five thousand taels of silver, as well as some valuable medicinal materials, silk and jewelry, etc., on the ground that Xiao Yi was on a campaign abroad and could not return to the capital for the Spring Festival.
After thanking him for his kindness, Zhu Xing personally sent the palace people away.
Nangong Yue looked at the box of rewards, and finally put his heart down.
She raised her lips and laughed. She was in a good mood and joked: ”the emperor's reward is really timely. Originally, the annual gift given this year has lost more than 4000 Liang. This is good. It just filled up the pit.”
Lily was stunned. She said something in her mouth. Then her eyes brightened and she said excitedly, ”princess, you are right. We can still earn nearly 800 taels.”
This year is the first time that Nangong Yue sent New Year gifts to other governments as his son's concubine. The white silver flowed out like water, which made Lily feel distressed. Although he also received part of the reward, he still spent more than his income. But now, with the emperor's reward, it was a proper profit.
Joking, the master and servant returned to Fufeng courtyard.
After changing a heavy make-up, Nangong Yue changed into a simple ordinary clothes.
From afar, from time to time, you can hear the sound of firecrackers from the street outside, which is very lively. By contrast, it also seems that the palace is particularly lonely.
On the first day of the lunar new year, nangongyue returned to Nangong house from the palace. Nangongmu, Lin and nangongxin would wait for her in the palace. Nangong mu can take a few days off for the new year's Eve. Therefore, in addition to going out to pay New Year's greetings, the family of four often stay in the courtyard, chatting, playing, writing and painting Very comfortable.
Nangong Yue looks at himself in the bronze mirror, frowning slightly, and his heart is a little empty: I don't know how Yi is now in southern Xinjiang. Is it like her to spend the new year alone No, according to the rules, I can go back to Nangong mansion tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to my parents. Unlike AI, he is really alone.
In the early morning of the palace of flowers, it's no wonder that the mood of the south palace is so low that it's no wonder that they are still in the low mood in the morning.
If there was anything that could distract the princess, Baihui thought about it and said, ”shizifei, all the gifts prepared when I went to Nangong house to pay a new year's visit tomorrow are all ready. Would you like to have a look?”
Nangong Yue said listlessly, ”no need. You can arrange it. ”
The two cousins looked at each other again. This time it was Lily's turn to say, ”princess, or Or... ” After racking her brains, she finally came up with an idea, ”can I show you the sword dance?” The color clothes amuse the host, Lily consciousness also spell.Nangong Yue looked up and down at lily. A smile flashed in his eyes and said, ”since you are free today, why don't you look at the account books for me. There are still several boxes of books in the study
Lily suddenly fell down on hearing this, feeling sad and made all the servants in the room laugh. The atmosphere was much lighter.
Nangong Yue is just joking. It's better to sit in a daze than to look at the account books!
Nangong Yue laughed and said, ”forget it, you guys play leaf cards with me for a while, but I have prepared a lot of silver and naked sons. This year's lucky money will have to be won by your own ability.”
Lily happily said: ”this is good! I'm going to get the leaf card
So, those who take the leaf card take the leaf card, the one who places the table sets the table, and the one who takes the silver nude takes the silver nude. After a while, a room full of people are playing, and there is a little festive atmosphere.
The second day of junior high school is the day when the married daughter returns home. Nangong Yue happily prepares a cart of gifts and can't wait to return to Nangong mansion to visit his parents and brothers. Lin has already known this kind of rumor in Zhennan Wangfu. As soon as he saw Nangong Yue, he pulled her to talk and wished to keep her for a long time.
Next, on the third and fourth day of junior high school, Nangong Yue went to other familiar places to pay New Year's greetings.
In this way, until the fifth day of the ninth day, a ceremony was held in the palace to take out the twenty-five seals and imperial pens which had been sealed up a year ago. This means that from this day on, the emperor will officially begin to deal with the government affairs again.
On the same day, the emperor personally drew up a decree and sent people to the south of Xinjiang at a speed of 3000 Li.
When he got the news, Nangong Yue had just finished his lunch. She smelled the words and said nothing more, but the corners of her lips rose.
”Princess.” At this time, Lily came to report: ”aunt Ye has brought her granddaughter to celebrate the new year for you.”
Nangong Yue naturally remembers this aunt ye, but he didn't expect that the other party was so interested that he specially came to pay New Year's greetings to himself.
Nangong Yue pondered for a while and ordered: ”lily, you take them to the small flower hall.” Although Wu Shou hall is the main hall of the inner house, its layout is too masculine and imposing. Nangongyue himself does not like to entertain guests there. By contrast, the layout of the small flower hall is much more elegant and quiet.
Lily took the order.
Nangong Yue picked up a little bit and took Baihui and thrush to the small flower hall.
Aunt ye and her granddaughter have already sat down in the small flower hall. Lily is talking with them. She is lively, and aunt Ye is familiar with her, so the atmosphere is very harmonious.
As soon as Nangong Yue entered the small flower hall, aunt Ye's eyes immediately looked at her. She quickly stood up and gave a slightly stiff salute: ”I've seen the princess.”
