Chapter 1046 (1/2)
During the banquet, the fire pot with silver frost charcoal was burning warmly. Nangong Yue leaned on the Luohan bed and turned over the gift bills from the various governments presented by Baihui.
This year, the gifts sent by the government were more generous than before. Nangong Yue thought that it might be because the royal guards came to check it last time, but he let it go. Wang Du deeply realized Xiao Yisheng's strong sense of justice, so he took advantage of the Spring Festival to set up some friendship.
It is impossible for officialdom to send silver tickets directly, but pearls, jades and ornaments are quite a lot. Pearls alone are as big as thumbs and round. There are also some precious medicinal materials, whole pieces of fur, and even some mansions have paid great attention to send the sword of a good horse
The gift givers were very clever. Although the gifts were valuable, they still grasped the degree. Therefore, Nangong Yue took them.
Xiao Yi's proton identity, too ”honest and clean” is a big taboo.
Nangong Yue returned the gift list to Baihui, and said with a smile, ”take some pearls and give the big girl a cover.”
Baihui answered, jokingly said: ”Princess Shizi, recently a Jinyu pavilion has been opened in the royal capital. It is said that it comes from the south of the Yangtze River. There are many new styles of Jiangnan. Do you want to have a suit of it, shizifei?”
The style of Jiangnan is exquisite and fashionable. It has always been the favorite of ladies and ladies.
”Yes. Then I'll have a suit with Fei's sister. ” Nangong Yue was in a good mood, ”you ask their master Fu to come to the Palace tomorrow. I'll pick out the appearance. By the way, help Yimei and your cousin get a dowry. ”
Yimei and Baihe both decided to get married after the new year. Originally, nangongyue meant that it was before the new year, but this year there were many things to do. If lily married, she would be more busy. She could only aggrieve them. After the Lantern Festival, Yimei and Baihe would get married together.
The lily, who was waiting on the side, heard the dowry, and was not shy at all. Instead, he said happily, ”thank you, my servant.”
Baihui couldn't help but stare at her and said in her heart: this girl doesn't look like a girl at all!
Nangong Yue could not help joking and said: ”you don't stare at her. All the younger sisters are married. You are the elder sister. I have to take care of you for a while.”
Baihui's face turned red all of a sudden, busy way, ”...” The maidservant went down first. ”
Nangong Yue also did not tease her, said with a smile: ”go quickly. By the way, I'll go to Zhu Xing's to see if the son of heaven has written back. ”
”Yes...”
Baihui hurriedly answered and retreated as if escaping. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiao Fei standing outside the door and magpie who was preparing to report.
This does not need to report, Nangong Yue waved to her and said, ”Fei sister, come in.”
”Xiao Fei's face went into the room She did not go into it. After asking An'an, she said shyly to Nangong Yue, ”sister-in-law, please help me to see the needling.” With that, she hesitated to hand over a piece of handkerchief.
Nangong Yue fixed his eyes and turned his mouth.
as like as two peas, the character of Xiao Fei is all the same on her needles. Every stitch is like a ruler. It is almost the same length and spacing. Although it looks a little stiff, it is very interesting to see in the eyes of Nangong. Anyway, the girls in the palace don't need to live on the needlework. They have learned enough. They can make a purse lining for their husband after they get married.
Lily see Nangong Yue smile, can't help but also came to see a look, is also can't help laughing. After a long time, I also think that big girl is very interesting.
Seeing Xiao Fei's behavior showing a trace of embarrassment, Nangong Yue said, ”Fei sister, your needling is very good. Next, I'll teach you how to embroider some simple patterns?”
Xiao Fei Zheng Zheng Zheng, some accidents: ”sister-in-law, you don't say embroider flowers is commonly used, there are 20 kinds of needling?” She's only learned five or six in the last few days.
Nangongyue patiently explained to Xiao Fei: ”Fei sister, although there are many needling techniques, they are just like we learn calligraphy. How can we practice wild grass if we can't practice orthography well. Although what I have taught you these days is just the most basic needlework, it is almost enough to embroider some of the simplest flowers and plants
Xiao Fei nodded thoughtfully.
Nangong Yue took out a drawing drawn in advance from the rattan frame, and then pointed to the three white plums on it and asked Xiao Fei, ”sister Fei, you should pick a line for this white plum.”
Xiao Fei blinked and said, ”sister-in-law, isn't it white line?” Do you still need to choose?
Baihui sent the basket of embroidery thread to Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei looked silly and counted it in the past: ”one, two, three Five! Five white? ” There are five kinds of white!
Nangong Yue explained on one side: ”this is not enough. This is the embroidery thread I bought in the jade embroidery Pavilion of Wangdu. If it is in the south of the Yangtze River, the boudoirs there like to use the embroidery thread of Liufang Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River. There are nine kinds of white embroidery thread there!”
Xiao Fei could not help but think about it for a while. She said, ”well, if it wasn't, how could the ancients say, 'the snow in meishuxun is three points white'. Naturally, the white can be divided into several kinds!”Nangong Yue nodded with a smile. Xiao Fei was intelligent, but in the past, she was a little repellent to needlework. Now, once her mentality has changed, she is able to do it.
Xiao Fei thought of something, and her eyes fell on the embroidered shed where nangongyue was embroidering. It was a man's robe that had been made. Nangong Yue was embroidering bamboo leaves on the corner of the robe. Looking at the color of the robe and the shape of the bamboo leaves, it was obvious that it matched the purse of the previous few days.
Xiao Fei reached out and picked up the embroidery shed. After a close look, she found that it was just like what she thought - before, she thought it was just two bamboo leaves with slightly different colors, but now she has found that each bamboo leaf has a subtle natural color gradient, which is meticulous to the vein.
”Sister-in-law, your embroidery skill is really wonderful.” Xiao Fei was full of praise.
Magpie son did not know when also entered the room, smell speech, smile way: ”that is nature. She learned her embroidery skills from our second wife. She invited the master from Liufang Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River to teach her embroidery skills. Her needlework is a set of her own... ”
Xiao Fei looks at Nangong Yue's eyes with a trace of envy.
It turns out that sister-in-law learned her embroidery skills from her mother. At that time, Nangong's aunt must have explained and demonstrated patiently, needle by needle, just like sister-in-law now
In Xiao Fei's mind, a warm picture of loving mother and goddaughter appeared.
But her mother never taught herself this. Whether it was needlework or housekeeper, even if it was music, chess, calligraphy and painting, her mother asked her husband to teach her
Not only her own mother, she taught her second brother Xiao Luan what? The second elder brother is at this age, but he doesn't become a martial artist. All day long, he knows to drill into the powder pile!
Xiao Fei's face is full of sadness.
At that time, mother, what was she doing? Busy killing big brother?
”Sister Fei...”
Nangong Yue looked thoughtfully at Xiao Fei who was shining. Xiao Fei came back to her mind and said, ”sister-in-law, there are so many white flowers. I really don't know which one to choose. Why don't I take the embroidery thread and go outside to compare with the white plum on the plum tree.”
That's a fantastic idea. Lily eyes a bright, busy way: ”big girl, maid with you to go.”
Said, Xiao Fei really and Lily together went out of the room, looking at Nangong Yue laugh unceasingly.
Although it is still a cold winter, the Fufeng courtyard is full of laughter, as if even the cold wind has been dispelled a lot
Xiao Fei has been accompanied by her after dinner. The cold outside is very strong. Nangong Yue specially instructs magpie to bring her the hand stove that has just been burned, and send her back to the yard. And Nangong Yue leaned on the Luohan bed and continued to embroider the new robe. The new year is coming. There are a lot of miscellaneous things recently, and there is still some time in the evening.
Seeing that another bamboo leaf was about to be embroidered, Baihui came back from the front yard and reported happily: ”princess, the prince has written.”
Nangong Yue's heart a joy, busy put down the embroidery shed on hand, took the letter.
After reading the letter, the smile on her face grew stronger and said, ”Yi will be back soon. It should be able to catch up with the Lantern Festival. ”
The servant girls in the house were also happy. Their girls had been married for two years. Every year, they had been celebrating the new year alone. Even they had some grievances for her. Finally, this year, shiziye can have a reunion dinner with his wife.
Xiao Yi said a lot in his letter. Most of them were just his daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. He said everything one by one. Nangong Yue was not bored at all. His lips were filled with warm smile.
Although Xiao Yi didn't mention how Baiyue was in his letter, since he wanted to come back, it must have been a matter of baipai
Nangong Yue thought of the Baiyue envoys who were living in Wuyi hall. It seems that the Baiyue envoys who are stirring the wind and rain in Dayu will not have a good year They should be getting the news soon, right?
As Nangong Yue expected, the next morning, there was a secret letter sent to the Wuyi hall where the Baiyue envoys lived temporarily.
However, the second emperor and the fifth son of the emperor died!
How could that be possible!? Adachi looked at the secret report in his hand. He couldn't believe his eyes. As soon as his feet were soft, he collapsed on the chair, and the secret message in his hand slipped down.
Another stout emissary picked up the secret report on the ground. At this glance, his feet were almost soft, and he said in disbelief, ”impossible, right?”
Adachi murmured, ”how can it be possible to have the second prince and the sixth prince
It is false to say that atachi had never worried that the second prince might have different ideas after he took power. However, when he was in Dayu, he could only comfort himself by saying that the second prince and the sixth Prince were the same mother emperors of the great prince. After all, their feelings with the great prince were different.
Adachi thought that the second prince might ascend the throne, and worried that the third prince might seize power But how could he be the most incompetent and powerless fourth prince? And in this process, the fourth prince also murdered three princes!
What exactly happened to Baiyue that would lead to this situation?
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. He was almost at ease.All the envoys who came to Dayu were from the Party of the great prince kuilang, so all the peace talks were based on the premise of returning to kuilang.
But now that the fourth Prince nuhar has ascended the throne, where will the eldest prince be located?! In case the new king No, it's the puppet king who sent new envoys. What are they?!
Adachi calmed down and said to himself that emperor Dayu must not have known the news, so he must act as soon as possible.
If we can talk about the peace talks before emperor Dayu gets to know the news, and then let the great prince return to Baiyue as soon as possible, with his influence and influence in Baiyue, it's hard to say
It's a pity that the third prince's house has been granted by the emperor now, and there's no hope for it.
Now I have to go straight into the palace to see emperor Dayu!
After making up his mind, Adachi immediately set out from Wuyi hall and went into the palace to see the emperor.
The emperor also wanted to see what kind of tricks Baiyue could play after he banned the junior three. Without drying Adachi, he immediately met him in the imperial study.
