Chapter 1088 395 Intercession (Seven More)

Thinking of the past, Xiao Yi has long since lost the indignation when he first knew the "truth".

He put his arms around Nangong Yue, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, and said interestingly: "I remember when I was a child, there were three major opera troupes in southern Xinjiang. Well, she will call the opera troupe to the house from time to time, and then call me over to see it. There is a song about "Kneeling and praying to God, I want to raise children for my sister" is very interesting! I will take you to listen to it next time. !"

There is no doubt that the "she" in Xiao Yi's mouth is the protagonist of the "drama", the little Fang who "married the elder sister of the long house into the palace as the successor, and raised her youngest son with care."

Xiao Yi said something interesting, and Nangong Yue couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled, "What about later?"

"Before my grandfather passed away, I could see my grandfather from time to time. But since my grandfather passed away, my grandfather never came." Speaking of which, Xiao Yi couldn't help but look a little lonely, "The Fang family is like I've been completely forgotten..."

However, at that time, Xiao Yi was addicted to fun and unscrupulous under the deliberate indulgence and flattery of Xiao Fang. In the first year or two, he occasionally thought of his grandfather who always smiled at him, but later, as time went by, the impression became shallower and shallower...

Until he went to the capital.

The last time he returned to Southern Border, because of the war, he didn't have time to think about anything else.

And this time, he originally planned to take Nangongyue to Fang's house after he settled down, but he had to rush to Kailian City, which was delayed.

After all, Xiao Yi also has a knot in his heart...

Xiao Yi hugged her tightly, and said in a low voice, "...the Fang family has never asked me for so many years, and maybe they have already ignored me."

Nangong Yue knew that he was actually a little timid, and was afraid that the old man of the Fang family would ignore him because he hated him, just like the King of Zhennan.

Nangong Yue leaned on him, and after a while, said softly, "Let's go to Fang's house."

No matter what the reason is, only after taking such a step can it be clearly understood.

"it is good……"

Xiao Yi nodded.

The sadness in Xiao Yi's expression quietly dissipated, even if he lost everything, it doesn't matter, as long as the stinky girl is still by his side, that's enough!

It was rare for his stinky girl to lean on him so actively. Xiao Yi never went against his good luck and clasped his arms even tighter.

Nangong Yue struggled a little uncomfortably, and quickly changed the subject and said, "Ayi... Before you came back, Concubine Wei brought some gifts and congratulations over, saying it was for you." She took the opportunity to get up and sit down. , with a sly smile on his face.

Xiao Yi didn't expose her thoughts, just looked at her with a smile, and saw that she adjusted her clothes, called Baihui in, and brought the gift list.

Xiao Yi glanced roughly at the gift list. Nangong Yue didn't know it, but he knew it. At a glance, he could see a commonality that Nangong Yue didn't see, and said, "These mansions belong to Luo Yue City. It seems that these days There's more fun."

Nangong Yue blinked, understood, and smiled.

In the following days, after the other cities in the southern border received news of his return to Luoyue City one after another, whether it was because of King Zhennan's face or Xiao Yi, they would definitely send congratulatory gifts.

Xiao Yi also laughed, picked Nangong Yue's chin, and teased, "Little girl, I will follow this prince and my lord obediently from now on, and have meat to eat!"

Nangong Yue originally wanted to cooperate, but she couldn't help but fail. Her skill is not enough, and she still needs to practice well.

However, these congratulatory gifts sent to the palace reminded Nangongyue of one thing. In the eyes of outsiders, the palace and Bixiaotang are always one family... Isn't this a waste of my grandfather's thoughts when he was alive, and a waste of that good An East Street gate!

Nangong Yue pondered thoughtfully for a while, and then suggested, "Ayi, since we have returned to the southern border, we should hold a banquet, which is to invite the various governments!"

Xiao Yi immediately understood what she meant. On the one hand, this banquet could test the attitudes of the southern border provinces; on the other hand, it could also allow Bixiaotang to be relatively independent from the palace and communicate with the southern border provinces on its own. , without the need for everything to pass through the king of Zhennan.

"Although it's not urgent, we have to find a suitable opportunity, but the list of banquets can be sorted out earlier." Nangong Yue said again, "Ayi, I'm new here, and I'm very concerned about those noble families and officials' mansions in southern Xinjiang. I don’t know each other well, and there is a relative relationship between them…”

The former Xiao Yi can still answer it, but when it comes to those relatives, he can't answer it. He used to ignore these things when he was in the southern border, and now he has been away from the southern border for many years, and his eyes are blackened. .

Seeing Xiao Yi's embarrassed and guilty smile, Nangong Yue understood and immediately ordered Baihui, "Baihui, go to Concubine Wei and ask for a list." Since Mrs. Wei wanted to show her favor to Bixiaotang, Should seize every opportunity.

Sure enough, Baihui came back with the list given by the Wei family after a while. Nangongyue smiled when she saw it. Wei's work is really organized and careful, and she wrote down the in-laws and relationships between the various houses in detail. Interpersonal communication is obvious at a glance. It is no wonder that the Wei family can compete with the Xiao Fang family in this palace, and is favored by the Zhennan King.

It's not too late to sort out these lists slowly. Xiao Yi has just come back, so he must have a good rest.

Nangong Yue put the list aside and said with a smile that she would cook for him in the evening.

Xiao Yi was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "I'll help you!"

Although every time Xiao Yi fights, the meal will become a mess, but seeing him in such high spirits, Nangong Yue still happily answers: "That's good, you can help me cut vegetables..."

The two were talking, and they were about to go to the small kitchen. At this moment, Queer hurriedly came to report: "Master Shizi, the prince has sent someone to let you come over now."

Xiao Yi waved his hand without hesitation and said, "No."

Naturally, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were all respected in Bixiao Hall. After Xiao Yi's order, Que'er immediately retreated. Of course, she wouldn't say anything like "Shi Ziye can't say it" to the people who came, but she only vaguely stated that the Shi Ziye had just returned, and he was still a little sleepy and so on.

Immediately following, King Zhennan sent three groups of people over. At first, Queer was able to get rid of it on her own, but when she was the last person, she hurriedly went to the small kitchen and said, "Master Shizi. , the lord said that it is to discuss with you about opening an ancestral hall."

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed. It had been more than a year since Nangong Yue had been married, and it was enough that he was trapped in the capital. After returning to the southern border, the matter of opening the ancestral hall and the genealogy was naturally brought up. On the second day after returning to Southern Border, Xiao Yi went to King Zhennan, but he hurriedly dealt with it. Xiao Yi was too lazy to entangle with him, and when he was looking for the patriarch to do this, he was too late to go to Kailian.

just got back...

King Zhennan is going to tell him about the ancestral hall?

"Ayue, I'll come when I go."

Nangong Yue responded with a smile and said, "I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

Xiao Yi's brows were full of softness, and he hugged and kissed her again, and then hurried out of the small kitchen.

In order to hurry back to have dinner, Xiao Yi hurried to the study of King Zhennan in the outer courtyard.

After waiting for the report, he walked in and clenched his fists to King Zhennan who was behind the desk.

"Father."

King Zhennan looked at him silently, thinking that Xiao Yi might have trouble going to Kailian City this time, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to come back so soon.

It's just that, after he came back, he didn't even say goodbye to his father, and he couldn't even invite him three times in a row. He really didn't take himself seriously!

King Zhennan was waiting for a good reprimand when he heard Xiao Yi speak first and said, "Father, when are you going to invite the patriarch to open the ancestral hall?" Now, it will be an auspicious day in three days, and it will be just right."

King Zhennan looked at him with a stern face.

Nangong Shi! Nangong Shi! If it wasn't for Nangong's family tree, I would not be able to invite this son today!

"Father." Xiao Yi frowned and said with restraint, "If you are busy with business and don't have time, my son doesn't mind meeting the patriarch for you."

King Zhennan couldn't help but think of Xiao Fang's words, Xiao Yi's temper is getting more and more erratic now, he is now thinking of quickly giving the family tree to the Nangong family, if he delays, he may do something. His mind is. Anyway, Nangong's marriage was granted by imperial decree, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to. Sooner or later, he would have to go to the family tree.

Thinking of this, King Zhennan finally endured, and said with a stern face: "Although Nangong has been married to our palace for more than a year, this king doesn't know much about her temperament, so I planned to watch her for a year and a half. I will upload the genealogy again. But your mother said that you and the Nangong clan were given the marriage by the emperor, and the emperor's vision is naturally trustworthy for this king. Well, for your mother's sake, this king will personally go to see the patriarch tomorrow, three An ancestral hall will be opened in the future.”

Xiao Fang mentioned it?

Xiao Yi frowned and remained calm.

King Zhennan took a sip of tea and continued: "It's not easy for your mother to raise you up, she's put a lot of effort into your affairs, and she's full of loving motherhood, but it's not rewarded. You are always so unfilial, worthy of your mother. ?"

Xiao Yi has been scolded for a long time since he was a child.

Although he originally proposed the opening of the family tree in the ancestral hall, why did Xiao Fang "intercede"? Xiao Yi naturally won't naively think that she has really "changed for the better", there must be a purpose!

But no matter what purpose she has, the most important thing right now is the stinky girl's family tree.

Nothing can stop it!

In order to avoid extraneous issues, Xiao Yi let King Zhennan talk for a long time without replying. Finally, King Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down...you went to Kailian City, how is the situation, and you haven't reported back to this king yet."

Xiao Yi couldn't help sneering.

For more than a year, the reconstruction of Kailian and Fuzhong has not seen his father worry about it, but now he is thinking about Kailian City. Is it because he is afraid that he will "annoy" Baiyue's envoys by not doing it thoughtfully?

Based on what Xiao Yi knew about King Zhennan, he was sure that he guessed at least seven points right.

Thinking of this, his face was calm and he said, "Father, the city of Kailian has recovered 70% to 80%. The people have returned one after another, and they can live and work in peace and contentment again. I believe that the restoration of the former prosperity is just around the corner."

King Zhennan looked at Xiao Yi with a complicated look. Although Kailian City was no longer under his jurisdiction, how could he really know nothing about the situation of Kailian City? The people under him are quite capable, and manage the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian in a fairly orderly manner. It's just that those people are just as willful and reckless as this villain, and they don't care about the overall situation!

For the sake of the tranquility of the southern border, he opened the city to Baiyue for trade, but Cheng Yu ignored the orders of the king of Zhennan and closed the city gate without authorization.

Xiao Yi was very clear about what King Zhennan had in mind, and said bluntly: "Father, the envoy of Baiyue has returned to Baiyue, and the matter of opening Kailian City is over."

Just went back like this? ! King Zhennan was slightly startled in disbelief.

Baiyue envoy returned? Kailian City was not opened, and Baiyue's army did not force the situation. So, was this villain who resolved the war? What did he say to the Baiyue envoy?

King Zhennan couldn't keep his face down and asked again, so he could only swallow his doubts.

His expression became more and more complicated and tangled. On the one hand, he felt that the eldest son had indeed grown up, and he no longer needed to rely on himself in many places, but on the other hand, he felt that his authority as a father and king had been challenged...

After King Zhennan sorted out his thoughts, he said in a cold voice: "Ayi, Father Wang knows that you are old and have your own opinions, but as a prince, you should focus on the overall situation and not let everything be your own. Small temper, you do things only on a whim, you don't know how to measure, but have you ever thought about a decision of yours, which will affect the southern border..."
