Chapter 1291: 【V155】Absent from a desperate situation, a family reunion
Chapter 1291 [V155] Resurrection from desperation, family reunion
"Concubine, I'm pregnant."
…
After the rain, the sky is blue.
Out of His Majesty's courtyard, he met Eunuch Yue head-on.
Eunuch Yue is full of injuries, walks with a limp, wears a clean outfit, and looks forward to it.
Ning Yue glanced at him, and he also looked at Ning Yue, smiling respectfully.
Soon, Geng Yan also came out.
He hurried forward and held Geng Yan's arm: "Ma'am, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Geng Yan said, stopped, and looked at Ning Yue indifferently, "This round, I think I lost, but you didn't win either."
"I don't necessarily want to get something, but if the empress loses, it will be considered that I win." Ning Yue said calmly.
Geng Yan smiled coldly: "It's a pity that what you got was far from what you wanted. I am not dead, are you disappointed?"
"Honestly speaking, there is one thing, but after thinking about it, it seems too boring to kill you with a knife. It's like swallowing a jujube whole. You don't taste anything, and everything is over. The empress's fat, I will keep it slowly." Eat slowly, you will be happy just now." Ning Yue whispered next to her ear, "I forgot, you are no longer the empress."
Geng Yan's plain hands clenched tightly: "Sooner or later, I will return to that seat."
"Really?" Ning Yue rolled up her wide sleeves.
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Ning Yue's lips twitched into a sneer: "Okay, wait and see, don't blame me for not reminding you, the cold palace is very windy, be careful of catching a cold."
Geng Yan's body froze, and soon she smiled slowly: "Concubine Changsun, you should worry about yourself, even though you are so close to that seat, but you... will never be able to sit in it for the rest of your life!"
…
After Geng Yan and Eunuch Yue left, Concubine Yan Hui came over with a resentful expression: "She is really lucky! This failed to kill her! How did she become pregnant? Could it be a fake pregnancy?"
When Ning Yue brought Xuanyin back to the courtyard, Concubine Yan Hui had been waiting in the courtyard, so she knew some inside stories.
Ning Yue shrugged and said, "It's true."
"How could it be such a coincidence? This child...couldn't be..." Concubine Yan Hui's meaning is self-evident.
Ning Yue thought for a while, then shook her head: "Judging from the month, she was conceived before departure. For people to succeed, weather, location, and harmony are indispensable. This time, it is indeed her luck and good fortune."
Concubine Yan Hui's nails were almost cut off: "She is such a poisonous woman, why should she still have luck and good fortune? She should have been thrown into the eighteenth hell! She will never be reborn!"
Ning Yue patted Concubine Yan Hui on the shoulder, and said calmly: "I understand your feelings, why don't I want to eradicate her completely? It's just that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, even if she is not pregnant, His Majesty wants to abolish the empress. It's not that easy."
"So, you... knew from the very beginning that she would not die?" Concubine Yan Hui couldn't believe her ears.
Ning Yue looked towards the blue sky not far away, where there was a petrel flying gracefully: "I don't know, I just feel that everything is going too smoothly, it seems that there is some accident waiting there, you can call it a kind of intuition."
"Then when will she die, can your intuition tell you?" Concubine Yan Hui asked unwillingly.
"It won't be too long." She can't wait too long. The baby will be born in a few months. She doesn't want to hold such a fragile baby and enter a palace surrounded by Queen Geng. She wants a clean one. No one, nothing, can threaten her child.
Ning Yue returned to the room, and Dongmei stood by the bed. When she saw her come in, she got up and poured a glass of warm water: "How is it, miss? Did your majesty give the queen to death?"
Ning Yue sighed: "No, good people don't live long and they will live thousands of years."
"Huh?" Dongmei stomped her feet, "That kind of scourge is really a day to live, and a day to scare people!"
Ning Yue said with a smile: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and she won't be free for long."
"It's better to be like this! No way! I have to be a few villains, curse her to death!" Dongmei walked out of the room with a face full of resentment.
Ning Yue shook her head, sat down on the side of the bed, and looked at the complexioned Xuanyin. Now, she no longer cares about who the butterfly was in her previous life, whether it was Empress Geng or someone else, these things have become no longer important. Under such circumstances, he kept his bottom line, did not leave her a corpse, and did not let the child lose his father. She was very happy.
Leaned over, kissed his dry and slightly cracked lips, and licked them with the tip of her tongue, which became soft little by little.
As if sensing her presence, Xuan Yin slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the person in front of him, blurred to the point where only a phantom remained, and after a long time, his vision gradually became clear.
"Yue Yue…"
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was very hoarse.
Ning Yue held his hand, stroked his face and said, "It's me, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"
Xuanyin showed a weak smile: "I dreamed of you."
Ning Yue put his hand on her face and looked at him tenderly: "What did you dream about me? You are not bullying me, are you?"
"I dreamed that there were two of you, one teasing me and the other stopping me..." he said softly.
Ning Yue asked with a smile: "Then... which one did you listen to last?"
"It seems that I didn't hear any of them, and they disappeared."
No wonder when he entered the cave, he was unconscious, and he probably fainted. The "Yueyue" who teased him, needless to say, must be Geng Yan; the one who stopped him was his inner intuition. Ning Yue kissed his forehead in relief: "Is there any discomfort?"
He shook his head slightly: "No, what happened? The two of them... did they join forces to plot against me?"
Ning Yue nodded: "Yes, Island Master Zhao was bewitched by Geng Yan, and promised to help her lead you into the cave. His being bitten by a snake is also a step in the plan..."
Xuanyin was still a little weak, with a hoarse voice: "He is not poisoned by vipers."
"No, it's a phantom snake, which can make people lose their minds in a short period of time." Ning Yue touched his cheek distressedly, "Fortunately, you're fine."
Xuan Yin's eyes darkened, and he said, "I'm so useless."
Ning Yue said softly: "I can't blame you for this. None of us found out that they were colluding together. Do you still remember the last time I told you that the Queen went to see Master Zhao Island? At that time I asked Sikong Shuo, Zhao Island Will the Lord betray us? He said that not all people will betray their beliefs for the sake of beauty. Yes, he did not betray his beliefs, but his beliefs changed. There are always things that we can’t count, What does it matter if you fall down a few times? No one is born to be a king. Every road is made through failure and setbacks. You are the future king of southern Xinjiang. Please don’t reject you because of this frustration Own."
Xuanyin looked at her deeply, feeling an inexplicable agitation in his heart, deep in his eyes, water glistened: "Yueyue..."
Ning Yue leaned over, pressed against his chest, and took his hand to touch her slightly revealing belly: "The road ahead is still very, very long, please cheer up, Your Highness, we both need you."
…
For the sake of the royal family, the king of Nanjiang deliberately concealed the scandal of Geng Yan and Island Master Zhao's dirty court, and punished them for treason. However, in less than one morning, Geng Yan's seduction of Island Master Zhao was like snowflakes , scattered in every corner of Spirit Snake Island.
Needless to say, I knew it was Concubine Yan Hui who did it.
For the first time, the King of Southern Border did not investigate who the rumour-monger was. Perhaps in his heart, he thought it was Ning Yue, so he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes.
Three days later, the king of Nanjiang announced the execution of the two.
Release Zhao Feng from the post of island master of Spirit Snake Island, imprison him in a water prison, and never be redeemed.
Deprived Geng Yan of the Queen's position, relegated to Geng Concubine, moved out of Jiaofang Palace, and after the birth of the emperor's heir, the emperor's heir will be raised by other concubines.
…
Spirit Snake Island and his party ended in this weird, depressing and even ironic situation.
Everyone forgot what the purpose of coming here was, and only remembered that the Geng family was all buried in Spirit Snake Island. And all of this is related to a woman named Ma Ningyue.
On July 28th, the King of Nanjiang handed over Spirit Snake Island to Zhao Feng's eldest son, and then led everyone back to Shengjing. Before leaving, he told Xuanyin to take some treasures with him in case of emergencies.
Xuanyin took ten boxes of gold, ten boxes of jewelry, ten boxes of silver and ten boxes of jade, and gave Ning Yue all the keys and lists.
Ning Yue has her first asset in southern Xinjiang.
When came, Empress Geng was sitting beside King Nanjiang. Now that the Empress is gone, there is only one concubine Geng who has fallen out of favor. King Xuan of Nanjiang accompanied Concubine Yan Hui.
Concubine Yan Hui became the hottest concubine in the palace, and even Concubine Liu Gui's arrogance was suppressed by her.
It was rumored that she would be the next queen.
…
Sikong Shuo never met the king of Nanjiang. Although Ning Yue felt that the king of Nanjiang would not dislike his origin, he still felt that even his own mother was unreliable, let alone his grandfather.
…
Everyone boarded the boat one after another.
During these days, I was busy fighting with Geng Yan, and I ignored Princess Deqing who came to choose her husband.
However, there were no complaints as imagined. Princess Deqing lived a very carefree life. The only disturbance in her heart was the night when Xuanyin was announced to be the grandson of the emperor. She was worried that Xuanyin would become the next queen of southern Xinjiang. , will join forces with the Xuan family to deal with her father. But after thinking about it for a few days, I feel that everyone has their own destiny. If there is such a day, it will be the fate of their Wang family.
The weather was beautiful, and the weather was always sunny and sunny on the way back, which greatly shortened the time to return to Beijing. On the evening of August 12th, the team arrived in Shengjing.
Compared with when he left, Shengjing seems to be more lively. It seems that during the absence of King Nanjiang, Sangong and several princes managed Shengjing very well.
On the street, there is a lot of traffic, the shops are open, the stalls are hawking, pedestrians are rubbing shoulders, children are playing in the alley, and the old man selling candied haws is holding a tall bamboo stick. The straw sticks on the bamboo stick are filled with shiny Candied gourds; the steamer in the steamed stuffed bun shop is steaming, and there are women waiting quietly with their children; on the second floor of Yihong Courtyard, the girls are dressed up in fancy dresses, leaning on the railing to wave to the men on the road, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music , mixed with the singing of actors, came flickeringly in the room... a bustling color!
Ning Yue was lying on the window sill, watching the night view of Shengjing from the gap in the curtain.
Xuan Yin put his arms around her slender waist, and asked dotingly: "What are you looking at so engrossed in?"
Ning Yue opened her eyes wide and murmured, "It's so familiar."
"Ok?"
"Shengjing. We set off from Xiliang in May and arrived in Shengjing in June. After staying for more than a month, we headed to Spirit Snake Island. I worked hard. I lived in Shengjing for no more than forty days, but Xuanyin, I feel like I'm home."
It is more like my own home than Xiliang.
As if I belong here.
Xuanyin rubbed her face: "Little fool, Nanjiang belongs to me, and I belong to you. Of course you have gone home."
Having lived in Zhongshan King for so long, she didn't have such a strange and familiar feeling, but she couldn't let go of every plant, every tree, every brick and every tile in Shengjing.
She likes Shengjing.
"Xuan Yin."
"Huh?" Xuan Yin's big palm stroked her soft waist.
"When I become a queen, can I really take my parents to southern Xinjiang?"
"Of course." Those are your parents, and they are also my parents.
"Where is Niuniu and Xiaobao?"
"I'll take it too." If you like it, the whole Ma family will be moved here for you.
She turned around and hugged his neck: "Then I will be the queen."
Xuanyin smiled lightly, and pressed her lips: "Okay."
"But..." She didn't seem to intend to let him go.
"But what?"
"Will you kill Sikong Shuo?" Ning Yue asked firmly. It's no wonder that she was so thoughtful. It was because this guy was so hostile to Sikong Shuo that he didn't remember that it was his own brother when he did it. Well, Sikong Shuo is not a heinous person, at least, he has always tolerated her and Xuanyin.
Xuanyin pondered for a moment, and said: "If he doesn't pester you, he won't."
Ning Yue sighed weakly.
…
The carriage entered Southwest Street and walked along the river bank. There are many performers and storytellers here. Ning Yue took a look at a few stalls and found that everyone was talking about the Geng family. He also said that the Geng family invited the God of Plague to the house, and in just two months, the big house was tossed and wiped out.
Annihilated?
It seems to be, but not quite.
Geng Yun suffered a stroke and has not recovered so far.
The fourth son Geng died.
Geng Xin was fired.
Geng Wushuang, who was the most amazing and brilliant, became a big joke because of his defeat at the hands of Sikong Shuo.
The most jaw-dropping thing should be the news that Empress Geng, who had been favored for many years, was demoted to Concubine Geng.
The Shengjing No. 1 Family was completely ruined just like that.
The first thing the king of Nanjiang did after he returned to Beijing was to have people copy Geng's family. Yun, Geng Xin, and Geng Wushuang were expelled from Beijing; the third thing was to dissolve the engagement between Huangfu Ying and Geng Yun.
Ning Yue wanted to see Geng Yun's joke, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Geng's house.
Xiao Dezi was very fast, and led a large group of palace servants to pack up Huangfu Ying's belongings.
Geng Yun was sitting in a wheelchair, as thin as a bone. He couldn't speak, so he had to grab Huangfuying's sleeve with difficulty with trembling hands.
The corners of his slanted mouth twitched, and he mumbled something, even drooling.
Huangfuying's eye circles were red, she opened his finger, but that finger seemed to be nailed to her sleeve, she tore the sleeve torn, and ran away.
Geng Yun rushed towards her, fell to the ground, and moved towards the direction she was away from, crawling bit by bit with a trembling body... Tears fell down.
Ning Yue came to see his jokes, but seeing this scene, she was not as happy as she had imagined.
It is true that Geng Yun is a villain, but for Huangfuying, he gave his whole heart.
In this world, the most hurtful thing is not conspiracy, not open guns and dark arrows, but the person you have loved all your life. When he left you, he never looked back.
…
The carriage stopped at the Marshal's Mansion.
Ning Yue was carried off the carriage by Xuan Yin, then looked at another carriage, and found that Sikong Shuo didn't intend to get off the carriage, walked over, opened the curtains of the other carriage, and asked, "Get down quickly, it's here."
"This seat will not go in."
Ning Yue was a little uncomfortable for a while, after all, just before departure, Sikong Shuo had been living in the Marshal's Mansion, how could he not be able to stay when he came back?
Sikong Shuo said: "I bought a mansion in the east of the city."
Ning Yue lowered her eyes: "Then be careful on the road."
"Yes." Sikong Shuo lowered the curtain.
Princess Deqing heard that Sikong Shuo was leaving, so she followed suit.
Ning Yue shook her head, and entered the mansion together with Xuan Yin, thinking that she was about to see her eldest brother and Rong Lin, her mood jumped again.
Rong Qing also heard that his younger sister Xuanyin was returning home today, and had been waiting at the door for a long time, but he was not in good health. When the night wind in August blew, he shivered from the cold. Rong Lin forced him back into the house.
The steward Qiu reported that the young lady and uncle had arrived, and Rong Lin pushed Rong Lin out again.
In the distance, Rong Qing saw the little fan, and the little fan also saw him, his eyes lit up: "Yueer!"
"Brother!"
I thought my younger sister would rush over and throw herself into his arms like before, but my younger sister was so excited that tears were about to come out, but she still walked unhurriedly...
Yes, my sister is pregnant.
How could he forget such an important thing?
My younger sister was conceived in May. Counting the days, it's been more than three months, right? However, it seems that he hasn't gained much weight. Could it be that guy Xuanyin didn't take good care of his sister?
Rong Qing frowned.
The two came to him holding hands, and greeted him and Rong Lin.
He looked at Xuan Yin coldly: "Did you bully Yue'er? You were so thin when you left, but you are still so thin when you come back! Could it be that you have no time to take care of Yue'er as the eldest grandson of the emperor?"
Ning Yue hugged Rong Qing's arm: "I'm not thin, I've gained two catties."
Rong Qing let Xuan Yin go.
"Brother, are your legs better?" Ning Yue asked with concern.
Rong Qing said indifferently: "Same as usual."
Hey, stalactites are obviously useful to Xuan Xiaoying, but why are they useless to Big Brother?
Ning Yue touched Rong Qing's face which was paler than before: "Brother, did you not sleep well? Your complexion is so bad."
Rong Lin took the conversation away: "I'm not too worried about you? For a while, I'm worried that you won't be used to the food on the island, and for a while, I'm worried that you won't be able to stand the weather on the island." He glanced at Xuan Yin, "I'm also afraid of some people. , as the eldest grandson of the emperor, I won't take you seriously."
Xuanyin's mouth twitched, coughed lightly, and said: "Brother misunderstood me, I have always treated Yueyue better than myself."
"The key is not to see how kind you are to me." Rong Lin spread his hands.
Xuanyin: "..."
The family entered the house and ate dinner happily. Seeing Rong Qing sweeping the last bite of the meal into his stomach, Rong Lin heaved a long sigh of relief: "Finally, there is no more cat food."
Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that after she left, her eldest brother had been having trouble sleeping and eating, no wonder his face was so pale.
Ning Yue held the elder brother's hand: "Aren't I okay? There is Xuan Yin, and Sikong Shuo, I am not a child anymore, why should I be so worried?"
Rong Qing smiled: "I know what I shouldn't worry about, but I just feel that you... Forget it, you have come back safely, let's not talk about that."
After dinner, the four of them sat in the tea pavilion and exchanged information about the capital and Spirit Snake Island.
There are not many strange things here in the capital, but the experience of Spirit Snake Island, which shocked Rong Qing and Rong Lin. No one expected that Geng Wushuang's divination was for that reason. Rong Qing figured out the matter of his memory early on, so he wasn't surprised.
Afterwards, Ning Yue talked about the relationship between the Golden Butterfly and the third generation: "...Geng Yan is really perverted! She knew about the Butterfly Queen from Geng Wushuang, and then she pretended to be the Butterfly Queen to seduce Xuanyin! She also turned me into the Butterfly Queen , almost let Xuan Yin kill me. But I am not easy to provoke, after such a scandal, let's see if she still has the face to play in the palace."
Rong Qing's expression darkened after hearing this.
Ning Yue glanced at him, and said: "I know you have had some cooperation with her, and she took good care of you before, if you think I'm going too far..."
Rong Qing interrupted Ning Yue: "It's her who went too far. I don't have any relationship with her anymore. You are my sister. If she dares to bully you, she is my enemy."
In this world, no one can compare to you.
Ning Yue was overjoyed, and even the last trace of unwillingness to kill Empress Geng was gone. The future is long, and there are still many opportunities to deal with Geng Yan. She should not blind herself in hatred. God reborn her for her Make up for the missing gaps.
"By the way, big brother, what's the matter with Geng Yan's fragrance? Why does it have such a great effect on men? Have you ever been poisoned by her?"
Rong Qing said: "I have never been poisoned. I don't know why she has such a fragrance, but the fragrance is not irresistible." He took out a bodhi bracelet from the drawer, "This is made of bodhi roots. Yes, if you wear it, you won't be confused by Geng Yan."
"Sure enough, one thing drops one thing!" Ning Yue took the bracelet and looked over and over, "Brother, how many do you have?"
"There are several strings."
"You and Rong Lin relied on it to avoid the fragrance of Empress Geng?" Ning Yue happily put the bracelet on Xuanyin's wrist, "Okay, you don't have to be afraid of her anymore!" Xiang Rongqing, "No wonder Sikong Shuo is not afraid of her fragrance, is it you who gave it to him?"
"…is not it.
Ning Yue quickly thought of the King of Nanjiang again: "Does Your Majesty have any?"
Rong Qing thought about it carefully: "Probably not, but His Majesty is not much affected by Meixiang at this age."
"So, was he influenced when he was young? Is it because of Geng Yan's charming fragrance that he dotes on Geng Yan so much?" Ning Yue asked.
"In the beginning, yes. After Empress Chen passed away, the number of times His Majesty entered the harem dropped sharply. It wasn't until His Majesty met Geng Yan that the harem became lively again. The charm of Geng Yan's pampering for so many years is also the key. Your Majesty is seriously ill and getting older, the effect of Charm Fragrance has diminished sharply, but after all, it has become a habit to spoil her." Rong Qing explained patiently.
Ning Yue suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
"Is your face okay?" Rong Qing asked worriedly.
"It's already healed." Sikong Shuo's human skin mask naturally peeled off after ten days of application of the medicine, and now her face is her own, "Geng Yan's face should also fall off."
"What about tattoos?" Rong Qing asked again.
Ning Yue looked at Xuan Yin in confusion, the tattoo was on her back, she couldn't see it normally, and almost forgot about such a thing.
Xuanyin stared at him: "It's still there."
"Show me." Rong Qing asked Ning Yue to turn around, lifted the clothes on her back, and saw the lifelike golden butterfly, his expression gradually became solemn.
Xuanyin caught his strangeness: "Is there a problem?"
"No." Rong Qing put down Ning Yue's clothes, "I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"There are butterflies everywhere in the garden, of course you have seen them." Ning Yue said disapprovingly.
Xuanyin frowned slightly.
Rong Qing asked gently: "Does it still hurt?"
Ning Yue smiled and said, "It was quite painful when the tattoo was first applied, but it doesn't hurt now."
Rong Qing paused: "Is there any other discomfort?"
"Which aspect are you referring to?" Ning Yue asked with blinking eyes.
Rong Qing hesitated for a moment, then said: "There are all kinds of problems, such as lethargy, loss of appetite, headache..."
Ning Yue yawned: "I don't have a headache, lethargy and don't want to eat. It's been like this since pregnancy. What's wrong? Is there a problem with this tattoo?"
Rong Qing smiled and said: "No, you are pregnant. Tattoos have some impact on your body. If you don't feel uncomfortable, it means that the impact has passed."
Ning Yue patted her chest: "I was scared to death, I was afraid that this thing would be bad for the fetus."
"No, the fetus is very healthy." Rong Qing touched her cheek, "You are doing very well."
Ning Yue blushed. After living two lifetimes, it was the first time she was a mother, so she was afraid that she could not do well.
Rong Qing patted her hand: "Go and rest with Xuanyin, pregnant women just need to rest more, leave the matter of dealing with Geng Yan to us, don't worry about it anymore, you know? Brother assures you, no one can threaten you The child in your womb."
"Yes!" Ning Yue bid farewell to her eldest brother, and returned to the bedroom with Xuan Yin.
Xuan Yin held Ning Yue in his arms and soaked in a hot bath. Halfway through the bath, Ning Yue fell asleep in his arms. Xuanyin wiped Ning Yue's body, changed into obscene clothes, told Dongmei to stay by the bed, and then went to Rong Qing's room.
Rong Qing was indeed waiting for him.
"Sit down." Rong Qing pointed to the chair opposite.
Xuanyin sat down.
Ning Yue wasn't there, so the two men didn't force their faces to smile anymore. They took off their disguises, and both of them looked dignified.
"What's wrong with Yueyue's tattoo?" Xuanyin asked deeply.
Rong Qing thought for a while: "I can't be sure yet." After speaking, he pushed the wheelchair to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a key, opened a box in the closet, and took out a booklet from the bottom of the box , "Look."
This is an old blue book with a blank cover. It contains some strange mosquitoes and patterns. At first glance, it looks like a picture book sold to children on the streets.
When Xuanyin turned to the last side, his eyes froze.
"Is it similar?" Rong Qing asked.
"It's not just a resemblance? It's exactly the same." Xuanyin Ruyu's fingertips lingered over the pattern, "Did you draw it yourself or..."
Rong Qing secretly sighed and shook his head: "I bought it."
Xuanyin turned another page: "What can a picture book explain? Maybe the tattoo on Yueyue's back is also based on a certain picture book."
Rong Qing said very firmly: "This album is not sold in the market."
Xuanyin shook the booklet in his hand: "Then why do you have it?"
A tangle appeared between Rong Qing's brows, as if he didn't know whether he should mention these things to Xuan Yin, but Xuan Yin didn't rush him, just waited so patiently.
After a long while, Rong Qing finally said: "I found this on Rong Lin when I picked him up. I studied the writing on it afterward, and it was written in the Northern Territory."
"Is Rong Lin from the Northern Territory?" Xuanyin's eyes flashed a hint of surprise.
"Yes." Rong Qing said calmly: "He knows it himself. When I met him, he was already seven years old, and his memory is not too bad."
The relationship between the southern border and the northern region is a bit complicated to say the least. More than a thousand years ago, the Xuanyuan Dynasty unified the world. After Emperor Xuanyuan returned to the west, the princes divided the country into four, which are today's Southern Xinjiang, Xiliang, Northern Region, and Eastern Wu. Soochow is a small country in the desert, and it has little contact with the Three Kingdoms, while the remaining Three Kingdoms maintain their own territory in constant aggression and counter-aggression. It is said that witchcraft does not separate families. The earliest Southern Border and Northern Region were ruled by a pair of princes from the same mother. The two countries are still close, and they have jointly bullied Xiliang for hundreds of years. Gradually, the relationship between the two countries has weakened, and it has been completely broken for nearly a hundred years.
Two years ago, Xuan Yu led an army to attack the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory asked the King of Southern Border for help, but the King of Southern Border refused.
After clearing his mind, Xuanyin said: "What does this have to do with Yueyue's tattoo? Do you suspect that the person who tattooed Yueyue is from the Northern Territory?"
Rong Qing said with a complicated expression: "I'm just guessing, there is no evidence, have you seen that person?"
"No, I was one step behind Sikong Shuo. When I got there, Sikong Shuo dealt with him." Xuanyin tapped his fingers on the table, "But, as you said, that person is from the Northern Territory , isn't it... Geng Yan also colluded with Beiyu?"
"This, still can only be a guess." Rong Qing said with a hint of resignation.
"No matter what country she is from, I won't spare her anyway, but will this tattoo affect Yueyue?" This is what he cares most about. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he is not afraid, but when Yueyue has a headache, he is frightened.
Rong Qing took the album from him, looked at the words on it and said, "That's not an ordinary tattoo."
…
Ning Yue woke up early. Today is the day when Xuanyin entered the palace and officially met with civil and military officials. The King of Southern Border will announce his identity at the Temple of Heaven and grant him the seal of the eldest grandson of the emperor. Since then, he has been worthy of the name. Huangfu agreed.
Ning Yue was dressed neatly. As soon as she went out, she saw Xuan Yin practicing sword in the courtyard, and she couldn't help giving him a look: "What time is it, and you still haven't changed your clothes? Be careful of being late, the imperial censor will scold you!"
Xuanyin raised his eyebrows and smiled, his handsome face flashed a charming beauty under the light of the morning sun: "I won't go today."
"What? Don't go? Why? Has Your Majesty changed his mind?" Ning Yue's first reaction was that Geng Yan used her charming fragrance to charm His Majesty, and let His Majesty favor her again.
Xuan Yin rubbed the top of her hair with a funny face: "Your Majesty has not changed his mind, it is because I want to rest in the Marshal's Mansion for a few days first, and get familiar with the context of the court before going, so that I am not afraid that those old men will be unable to catch up with their moves." .”
This statement...sounds quite reasonable, but for some reason, Ning Yue finds it strange. Ning Yue glanced at him suspiciously: "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Xuanyin said without changing his face: "How is it possible? Even if I want to hide it, I have to hide it. With your sharp eyes, will you not be able to see that I am lying?"
Ning Yue stared into his eyes for a moment, as if, indeed, quite frankly.
The next second, Ning Yue hugged her arms happily: "This is the best! I actually can't bear to have you go to court so early in the morning. How do you understand the context of the court? Reading or...my elder brother will tell you?"
"Rong Qing gave me some letters, I'll read them myself." Xuan Yin pointed to the materials on the stone table.
Ning Yue's eyeballs rolled around, it was even better this way, Xuan Yin could still accompany her while watching.
After breakfast, many people came to visit the Marshal's Mansion, some of them were ministers of humerus who were second only to San Gong. Xuan Yin didn't even think about it, so Steward Qiu blocked them back.
Ning Yue tugged at his sleeve: "You want to understand the relationship between the imperial court. This is a great opportunity. They have all visited, and you can learn a lot from side-by-side. And don't they all say that the emperor and the courtiers? You just happen to , Screen and screen your troops!"
Xuan Yin hugged her to his lap: "I will choose another one later, the beauty is in my arms, let me be a foolish king for a few days."
This...why does it sound so sweet?
You are already an old couple, and you still confess your love?
Shame or not?
Ning Yue snickered.
Xuan Yin stared at her blankly, a little lost in thought.
Lunch is placed under the grape arbor in the backyard. The dishes are still light, but Ning Yue wants to eat hot and sour things, such as pickled fish, hot and sour lotus root, bamboo shoots in sour soup, spicy chicken...
Rong Lin snorted: "You can't eat those with a big belly! He'll get angry!"
"Let the kitchen make one."
"Let the kitchen make one."
Rong Qing and Xuan Yin spoke in unison.
Rong Lin thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he stopped talking.
Ning Yue looked at the two of them with a smile: "Hey, the sun is coming out from the west. When did you two enemies become so in harmony?"
Rong Qing's eyes moved slightly.
Xuanyin blinked.
Rong Lin stretched out his arms and embraced Rong Qing's shoulders: "Who is the Xuan family with Xuan Yin? Don't mess with the mandarin ducks."
Ning Yue smiled sullenly.
Not long after, the hot and sour dishes that Ning Yue wanted were brought up. God knows, since her pregnancy, her eldest brother and Xuan Yin never allowed her to eat these irritating foods, and she was almost out of control.
After eating three mouthfuls of hot and sour lotus root in a row, it was so spicy that my whole face turned red.
Rong Lin looked at her, then at Rong Qing, and said in a low voice, "Really let her eat freely? Such spicy food will cause constipation..."
"Eat, shut up!" Rong Qing said more than Rong Lin in a low voice.
Xuan Yin sat beside her quietly and scooped her a bowl of sweet soup.
"Can you still drink sweet soup?" Ning Yue seemed to have discovered a new world! The eldest brother was afraid that she would gain weight too fast, and she was not allowed to eat too much sweet and greasy food, especially sweet soup, which was almost a forbidden dish. She took a sip and narrowed her eyes in comfort. Then, she tilted her head and looked at Rong Qing, "Is it because I've been away for two months and you miss me so much?"
"Yeah, from now on, don't go out again, and take your elder brother with you when you go out." Rong Qing said softly: "Elder brother is reluctant to part with you."
"I can't bear to part with my elder brother either! I have limited mobility now. When I give birth to a child, we will go traveling around the world together!" Ning Yue ate heartlessly, not noticing the moisture in Rong Qing's eyes.
Rong Qing turned his head: "I'll make it easier for you."
Rong Lin glanced at him, stood up and said, "I'll accompany you."
Ning Yue ate a bowl of spicy dishes, but she was embarrassed to move her chopsticks again, and looked at Xuanyin pitifully: "Can... have another bite?"
Xuanyin's throat slid a bit: "Of course, you can eat as much as you want."
"Xuan Yin, I found that you have improved!" Ning Yue raised her oily mouth and scented Xuan Yin's face. Vegetables, "Tell me what you like to eat, if you don't have it in the house, I'll buy it for you outside."
"Roasted goose...is it okay? The fat ones, the ones that can squeeze out the juice." Ning Yue asked in a low voice. It's super fat again, and my elder brother expressly forbids it.
"Yes, I will buy it for you in the afternoon." Xuanyin said quietly.
Ning Yue felt that life was too good to be true, so she picked up a chopstick of bamboo shoots and fed them into Xuanyin's mouth: "You eat too, I know, you actually like spicy food, but in order to accompany me, you haven't seen it for a long time. Touch the chili."
Xuanyin chewed slowly, swallowed with difficulty, and a gleam of water gradually overflowed from his eyes.
Ning Yue took a glance, and suddenly panicked: "You...what's wrong with you? Are you crying?"
Xuanyin smiled slightly: "No, it's been too long since I ate spicy food, it's too spicy."
