Chapter 1046: 353 Letter

In the banquet room, the brazier with silver frost charcoal burned warmly, Nangong leaned against Luo Han's bed and flipped through the gifts presented by Bai Hui.
The gifts sent by the provinces this year are a little richer than before. Nangong Yu thought it might be because the last Jin Yiwei came to search but let it go, so that Wang Du up and down deeply realized that Xiao Yisheng's family was very strong. Will deliberately take advantage of the New Year to set up some friendship.
It is naturally impossible for people in officialdom to send tacky silver tickets directly, but the total number of pearls, jade, and decorations is quite a lot. Just pearls, they are as big as thumbs, white and round. There are also some precious medicinal materials, whole pieces of fur, and even some mansions took the effort to send Liangju sword ...
The gift-giver was very obedient. Although the gift was precious, they still grasped the degree, so Nangong Xiong accepted it.
As Xiao Yi's proton identity, it is too taboo to be too "clean and honest".
Nan Gongxi returned the gift list to Bai Hui, and smiled and instructed: "Take some pearls and give the big girl a hoodie."
Bai Hui responded and said with amusement: "Shi Zifei, Wang Duli recently opened a new Jinyu Pavilion. It is said that they came from Jiangnan. There are many new styles in Jiangnan. Would you like to play a set? "
Jiangnan's style is very exquisite, but also more fashionable. It has always been the favorite of girls.
"Okay. Then I'll be with my sister-in-law." Nangong Ai was in a good mood. "You asked their master to come to the palace tomorrow, and I'll pick a look. By the way, help Yimei fight with your cousin. One as a dowry. "
Both Yimei and Lily have decided to marry after the year. Originally, Nangong Yan meant that there were many things this year. If Lily got married, she would be even more busy. She would only be wronged and set the date. After the Lantern Festival, Yimei and Lily married together.
Lily waiting to hear the dowry or something, was not shy at all, but said cheerfully: "Slave thanked her for his concubine."
Bai Hui couldn't help glaring at her, and said, "This girl doesn't look like a girl at all!"
Seeing this, Nangong said ridiculously: "Don't stare at her anymore, all the sisters are married, you as a sister, I have to give you a good look."
Bai Hui's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said, "... the slave went down first."
Nangong Aunt stopped teasing her, and said with a smile: "Come on. By the way, go to Zhu Xing and see if Shizi comes back."
"Yes……"
Bai Hui responded quickly, and retreated out as if escaping. As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Zhe and Mi Er were preparing to report.
There is no need to report this time, Nangong Xi beckoned to her, and said, "Sister, come in."
Xiao Yue entered the house and said in doubt: "Bai Hui's face is so red ..." She didn't delve into it. After asking for safety, she said to Nangong Luo a little embarrassedly: "Dao, help me see the needle Come on. "Then he hesitated to hand a piece of parcel.
Nangong Yan looked intently, his corners of his mouth tilted.
Xiao Yan's personality is undoubtedly reflected in her stitching. Each stitch is neat and neat, as if measured with a ruler. The length and spacing are almost the same. Although it looks rigid, it looks at Nangong. In my eyes, I found it very interesting. Anyway, the girls in Wangfu don't need to live on the female red, they can learn enough. After they get married, they can make the husband's purse lining or something.
When Lily saw Nangong Yan with a smile, she couldn't help but took a look at it, and she couldn't help it. After a long time, I also think that the old girl is quite fun.
Seeing a little embarrassment in Xiao Yan's manner, Nangong Yan said busyly: "Sister, you have perfected your stitching. Next, I will teach you how to embroider a simple pattern?"
Xiao stunned, and was a bit surprised: "Dasao, don't you say that there are 20 kinds of stitches commonly used in embroidery?" She only learned five or six these days.
Nangong 玥 explained to Xiao 霏 with patience: "My sister, although there are many kinds of stitches, but just like we learn calligraphy, if you haven't practiced the proper script, you can practice the theory of crazy grass. Although I teach you these days It ’s just the basic stitching, but it ’s almost enough to embroider some of the simplest flowers.

Xiao Min nodded thoughtfully.
Nangong Yan took a pre-drawn drawing from the rattan box, and pointed at the three white plums on it, and asked Xiao Yan: "Sister, please pick a line for this white plum."
Xiao Yan blinked, and said, "Da'er, isn't it just the white line?" Do you still need to pick?
Bai Hui was busy sending the embroidery thread basket to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked dumbfounded and counted innocently: "One, two, three ... five! Five kinds of white?" White actually had Five!
Nan Gongxuan explained, "This is still relatively small. This is the embroidery thread I bought in the Yuxiu Pavilion of Wangdu. If it is in Jiangnan, the ladies there like to use the embroidery thread of Jiangfang Liufang Pavilion. There are nine as many as white! "
Xiao Yan listened lingeringly, and after a while thoughtfully returned to God, and said, "Also, otherwise, how did the ancients say:" Mei Xuxun Snow is three points in white ", and this white is naturally divided into numbers. Seed! "
Nangong Yu nodded with a smile, Xiao Yu was talented and intelligent, but he used to be a bit repulsive to the female red. Now, once the mentality changes, it is all right.
What Xiao Yan thought of, his eyes fell on the embroidery shed where Nangong Yu was embroidering. It was a ready-made men's robe. Nangong Yu was embroidering bamboo leaves on the corner of the robe. The shape of those bamboo leaves obviously matches the purse of the previous days.
Xiao Min reached out and picked up the embroidery shed. A closer look revealed that she did what she thought—before, she thought that it was just two bamboo leaves with slightly different colors. But now I just found that every bamboo leaf has There are subtle natural color gradients, which are detailed to the leaf veins.
"Dasao, your embroidery skills are really ingenious." Xiao Yan praised.
I do n’t know when I came in. When I heard it, I smiled and said,
That ’s natural. The embroidery technique of Shi Zifei was learned from our second wife. For teaching, the acupuncture is its own ... "
Xiao Yan looked at Nangong Yan's eyes with a hint of envy.
It turned out that Dasao's embroidery skills were learned with her mother. At that time, Aunt Nangong must have explained and demonstrated patiently and patiently like Dasao now teaches herself ...
There was a warm picture of a loving mother and daughter in Xiao Min's mind.
And her mother never taught herself these, whether it is female red or housekeeper, even if it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is also the mother who asked her to teach ...
Not only herself, what did she teach her second brother Xiao Luan? The second brother is at this age, and he ca n’t do anything without knowing how to drill into the fat powder pile all day long!
There was a sorrow of grief on Xiao Yan's face.
What was she doing at that time? Are you busy killing big brother?
"My sister ..."
Nangong Yu looked at Xiao Shen, who was a of thought, and Xiao Ye came back to her, and said, "Dao, so much white, I really do n’t know which one to choose. I ’d better take the embroidery and go outside Compare it with the white plum on the plum tree. "
This idea is absolutely brilliant. Lily's eyes brightened and she said quickly, "Sister, please go with you."
Talking, Xiao Yan really went out with Lily and looked at Nangong Xu with a smile.
Although it is still cold in winter, the Fufeng courtyard is full of laughter, as if even the cold wind has been scattered a lot ...
Xiao Ye had been with her for dinner before leaving, and the cold outside was very strong. Nangong Yu specially told her to bring her a freshly baked hand stove and send her back to the yard. Nangong Yu leaned on Luo Han's bed and continued to embroider the new robe. It's almost New Year's Day, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things in recent days, and there is still some time in the evening.
Seeing that another bamboo leaf was about to be embroidered, Bai Hui returned from the front yard, and reported joyfully: "Sir concubine, grandson sir."
A joy in Nangong's heart, he quickly put down his embroidery shed and took the letter.
After reading the letter, the smile on her face thickened a bit, and said, "Ai is coming back soon. She should be able to catch the Lantern Festival."
The girls in the house also rejoiced. Their girls had been married for two years, and each year was a New Year alone, and even they were somewhat aggrieved for her. Finally, this year's grandfather can accompany the grandfather's reunion dinner.
Xiao Yi's letter read a lot and said a lot, mostly just what he usually eats, eats and lived, everything has been said one by one, Nangong Ai is not annoying looking at all, his lips are always filled with warmth Smile.
Although Xiao Yi's letter did not mention what Baiyue was doing, since he was going to come back, presumably, the matter of Bai Bai is over ...
Nan Gongyu thought of the Baiyue envoys who were living in the Wuyi Pavilion. These Baiyue envoys who were in the wind and rain in Dayu seemed to have not had a good year ... they should also receive the news soon Right?
As Nangong Yu expected, a secret letter was sent to the Wuyi Pavilion where the Baiyue Mission lived temporarily the next morning.
There were a few words in the secret letter, but it was astonishing--
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince died, the Baiyue king died, and the fourth prince Nuhar ascended the throne!
How is this possible! ? Atacchi looked at the secret report in his hand, and couldn't believe his eyes. As soon as his feet were soft, he collapsed on the chair, and the secret report in his hand slipped.
Another chunky ambassador was busy picking up the secret papers on the ground. At this look, he was almost soft-footed and said incredulously, "Impossible?"
Ada murmured: "How is this possible with the second and sixth princes?"
It is false to say that Ada Chi had never worried that the second emperor might have a different heart after taking power. But when he was in Dayu, he could only comfort himself by saying that the second and sixth princes were the same mother's emperor. Their feelings with the big prince were not ordinary after all.
Atachi thought that the second prince might ascend the throne, and that the third prince might force the palace to seize power ... but how could he be the most incompetent and most powerful prince? And in the process, the four princes murdered three princes!
What happened to Baiyue, and things will develop to this point?
As Achi thought more and more panicked, he was almost restless.
The ambassadors to Dayu this time are all from the grand prince, Queron, so all peace talks are based on the premise of returning to Quelang.
But now that the fourth prince Nuhar has ascended to the throne, where should he place the great prince? !! In case the new king ... no, it is the pseudo-king who sent a new envoy, so what are they? !!
Atacchi settled himself and said to himself that now the Emperor Dayu must not know the news, and he must act as soon as possible.
If you can rush to the peace talks before the Emperor Dayu learns the news, and then let the big prince return to Baiyue as soon as possible, with the power and influence of the big prince in Baiyue, it would be hard to say ...
Unfortunately, the third prince's mansion has been closed by the emperor, and he can't count on it.
Nowadays, he can only go straight into the palace and go directly to the palace to see Emperor Dayu!
After making up his mind, Atachi immediately set off from Wuyi Pavilion and went to the palace to see the emperor.
The emperor also wanted to see what tricks Baiyue could play after banning Primary Three, and he didn't hang Ada Chi, and immediately saw him in the Imperial Study Room.
After Ada Chi respectfully performed the ceremony of Baiyue's eunuch, he opened the door to see what came out of the mountain: "His Majesty Emperor Taiyu, I would like to see His Royal Highness, My Baiyue, and please Her Majesty.
According to the emperor's previous will, Baiyue envoys can see Kui Lang on the first and fifteenth of each month, but today is neither the first or fifteenth day. Even on December 15th, they did not see Kui Lang.
The emperor's long silence caused Atachi to grit his teeth. He knew that Emperor Dayu might not have agreed to his request so easily. He was also psychologically prepared and had to pay a price for it now ... Time is running out, but now is the time to fight!
Adachi took a deep breath and resolutely said: "As long as your Majesty allows me to see His Royal Highness, I can agree to any peace negotiation conditions."
Adachi bowed his head respectfully, waiting for the emperor's answer, but did not see a faint light in the emperor's eyes after the royal case.
Prior to that, Anyi Hou Guanyubai said that there may have been a problem in Baiyue's country recently, so Baiyue was anxious to settle the peace talks and bring Kui Lang back to Baiyue to calm down the civil strife, so that these incidents occurred. It seems that it is true. Even Baiyue became more anxious than before ... What happened in Baiyue?
Counting time, Uncle Xuan Ping has arrived in Baiyue, and news will come soon after thinking about it.
There was silence in the Imperial Study Room, and the emperor had not spoken for a long time, which made Ada's heart more and more nervous. He had already stepped up. If the emperor did not agree, what should he do?
It was just a matter of fingertips, Atachi was already sweating and holding his breath.
The emperor groaned and said lightly: "Okay, I'll let you go to the prison department to see Kui Lang." The tone was flat and could not hear the mood.
Atachi couldn't care less about the emperor's mind, but felt relieved and thankful. Afterwards, he retreated under the guidance of the small internal servant.
After half an hour, Atacchi finally went to jail.
Although Kui Lang hadn't seen the sun for a long time in the prison, he always knew the time. On the fifteenth day, Achachi didn't come, he felt something wrong, and came suddenly today ... Is there anything to do? Nothing?
After patiently waiting for the jailer to go away, Kui Lang hurriedly asked, "What happened ?!"
Atachi hurriedly first reported the content of Baiyue's secret guarantee to Kui Lang ... and also told him what conditions he had paid before he was put in jail at the Department of Penalty. Finally, he also reported on the recent Dayu Chaotang. Incidents have also been falsely accused one by one, especially the fact that the three princes' palaces were sealed and the three princes were banned.
Kui Lang was not a smooth and proud son since childhood. When the concubine of Baiyue Wang was in power, his great prince was also humiliated. He had to be reckless, and could not bear it. He finally survived the intrigue in the palace , Not only took charge of the Baiyue regime, but also overhead King Baiyue. But at this moment, even if Kui Lang thought he had seen countless storms, he could not help but change his face.
How did that happen? !!
Now I really have internal and external problems, and I am isolated!
The repeated bad news made him look pale for a few moments.
But he still had a lot more calmness than Atacchi. After he settled down, he first praised: "Atacchi, you are doing it right! No matter what the price is at this time, take the peace talks down first!" He must return as soon as possible. Baiyue! This is the most important point.
Kui Lang's eyes were dark and deep, but extremely firm.
Atachi was relieved, as long as His Royal Highness did not blame him for being good at advocating.
Kui Lang again said: "Ada Chi, the sixth emperor was not mentioned in the secret paper?"
Atta was stunned. Before being shocked by the information in the secret newspaper, he had forgotten His Highness Six.
Atachi shook his head.
Kui Lang's face was gloomy. Since the sixth emperor was not mentioned in the secret paper, the six emperor must have survived, so why could he not prevent Nuhar from gaining power? Could it be that……
Kui Lang felt a rough sea.
He needs time, he must return to Baiyue as soon as possible to be able to turn the tide.
Baiyue is his, he must not allow Baiyue to fall into the hands of others!
...
After coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Atachi went to see the emperor again, hoping to speed up the peace talks, and even proposed that Baiyue could agree with the terms laid down by the last ease, and the only condition was to return to the great prince Kui Lang He also mentioned that if Dayu needs protons, the prince is willing to send Dayu with his own eldest son as a proton.
Such conditions are considered very advantageous.
If it had been before, the emperor would have promised immediately, but now ...
The emperor hardly considered it, and refused on the grounds that he was about to celebrate the New Year.
The conditions were not fulfilled. Atachi returned to Wuyi Pavilion with a loss of heart, and could only comfort himself by saying that the emperor did not disagree, it was just a New Year ...
On the one hand, the emperor was perfunctory. Although from Atacchi's reaction, he was almost certain that something had happened in Baiyue, but he still had to wait until the unanimous news from Bo Xingping to decide how the peace talks would proceed. One of his sons had been folded in their hands, and he let go of Baiyue, he was unwilling.
On the other hand, it is also a rule to seal pens and treasures in the New Year.
So, on December 29th, after the closing ceremony of Feng Bao's pen-writing ceremony, the court was relieved immediately, not only was Yu Bi able to take a good rest for seven days, but they also worked hard for a year, especially this year. The last two months of this year have been really good, and finally I can take a breath by the New Year.
Last year, Nangong Yan spent the year alone, and this year, although Xiao Yi was still absent, anyway, Xiao Yan was with her in the palace, and some people talked and laughed, but there was still a youth festival atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve, a lot of red lanterns were hung in the royal palace of Zhennan, and the deafening firecrackers sounded one after another on the streets and in the neighborhood, as if the air was filled with strong annual flavor.
Nangong Xiu took Xiao Yan together and sat down on the teacher's chair in Wushoutang. The clerks and maids in the royal palace all stepped forward to salute. Lily and Tonger were in charge of rewarding, and sent two baskets of copper coins. . With the generous rewards, people are naturally beaming, and laughter, hoe, gratitude, and firecrackers are intertwined for a while, and even Wushoutang, which is empty and deserted in this week, is lively.
Followed by, the New Year's Eve dinner began to come on the table one by one, dazzling and fragrant.
In addition to the ordinary dishes, each of them put a plate of white fat dumplings in front of them. The dumplings just out of the pan were steaming with white gas, making the index finger move at a glance.
This is not the same as southern Xinjiang. Xiao Xun blinked unexpectedly.
On the side of the cloth, Lily explained with a smile: "Big girl, we in the north are different from you in southern Xinjiang. This New Year is a must to eat dumplings."
Nangong Dingding said: "Sister, you must eat this dumpling slowly!"
Xiao Yan blinked suspiciously, and nodded obediently.
Seeing Nangong Yan slowly chewing and swallowing, Xiao Yan, although he didn't know what it was, was also affected, and slowly eating patiently ... Bai Hui and Lily who were serving at the table secretly exchanged a look.
When the fourth dumpling was eaten, Xiao Yan heard a creak in her mouth just after taking a bite. Her eyes almost glared, her lips moved a few times, and finally she spit out a yellow-orange-orange coin.
Nangong Yu and Bai Hui laughed out loud. Bai Hui explained with a smile: "Sister, you and Shi Zifei's two plates of dumplings, only this dumpling has copper coins in it. Blessed. "
Xiao Min looked at the people around him, and instantly understood that this copper coin was intentionally placed in her plate of dumplings. There was a smile on her face.
After having a lively dinner, the two went to put out fireworks together. The boxes of fireworks in the Zhennan Palace were made by the most famous shop in Wangdu. The fireworks released were particularly gorgeous, one after another as huge. The chrysanthemums bloomed in the dark night sky, eclipsing the stars and Yinyue.
This release was near midnight, the time when the new year and the old year were handed over, and at the moment when the new year was approaching, the whole king was boiling, firecrackers were endless, and the night sky was filled with blossoming fireworks, even the people around him were there. Cheers:
"Chinese New Year! Chinese New Year!"
Joy is louder than loud, lively than loud!
Bai Hui and Lily, who accompanied Nangongyu and Xiao Yan, were the first to pay New Year to the two masters, and followed Xiao Xiao to Nangong Yan, and got a red envelope.
"My sister, this is New Year's money!"
Nangong looked at Xiao Yan with a grin, Xiao Xiao's face showed a touch of shame, but he accepted it in disrespect. Although the father and mother also gave her New Year's money when the New Year was celebrated in previous years, the elder brother and the second elder brother never did.
Dasao was not as old as he was, but thought so thoughtfully.
What Xiao Min thought of, suddenly said, "Ma'am, are you going to be late this year?"
Nangong nodded his head, and Xiao Yan couldn't understand it, "I'll be stunned by June ..."
When a woman is 15 years old, she will hold a ceremony and represent a woman.
When Dasao's birthday arrives, she must give a good gift, but this time ...
Xiao Xie took out a plum-red purse from her arms with a bit of embarrassment. The workmanship was just neat, and the three white plums in the corners were barely embroidered enough to catch the eye, but this was already the best she could do!
"Thank you, sister!" Nangong Yan took it with a smile, and praised, "Sister Huang really made great progress." Just looking at it like this, Nangong Yan knew that it must have taken a lot of effort to embroider Xiao Yan. .
Xiao Yi smiled, and said in a hurry: "Dasao, go and rest. You will go to the palace to attend the congratulations tomorrow morning. If you don't sleep, you may not sleep."
In fact, Nangong Ling could not sleep for a few hours, and she had to get up when the first chicken rang.
In the early morning of the New Year's Day, Nangong Xiu went to the palace as usual;
On the second day of the new year, she returned to Nangong with Xiao Xiao ...
Because Xiao Yi was absent, Zhennan Wangfu closed her door to thank her guests, but she let her relax a lot.
In this way, it was until the day when the Princess Yang Yong's Mansion warmed up.
According to Fu Yunyan, Grand Princess Yongyang wanted to take this opportunity to formally introduce Wen Yu, the grandson who had been separated for many years, to the capitals of Wangdu ...
