Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Qi Yan breathed out a sigh of relief, and said: "In that case, please take a bath and change your highness, and I will leave first."

A trace of reluctance slipped across Nangong Jingnv's heart: "You go."

Qi Yan got up, bowed and said: "Your Highness, please stay." After speaking, he took the bottle of Dieda wine on the table and retreated.

It wasn't until the sound of the palace door closing that Nangong Jingnv suddenly remembered that Qi Yan was injured.

Nangong Lie's kick kicked Qi Yan's lower abdomen heavily, and his pain was still in front of his eyes.Nangong Jingnv got up suddenly, hurried to the door of the bedroom and stopped again. The hand that was about to push the door also stopped in front of the door, and finally slowly retracted.

Not only did he not control his emotions well and lost his temper with Qi Yan, but he even forgot to ask if he was hurt...

Also, that pedantic, rigid, polite and extremely fearful of death... being so humiliated by Brother Six, he doesn't know how to sort out his emotions?

Qi Yan returned to the side hall and asked the maid to bring hot water.After locking all the doors and windows and checking repeatedly several times, he went around the screen and took off the cumbersome palace attire after a lot of trouble.

Wrapped under the inner garment is an exquisite figure that is different from that of a man: fair skin, slender waist, and a flat chest are all women's specials.

The medicine given by the masked person restrained the development of her feminine features, but could not change her bones and figure.

Qi Yan stepped into the steaming tub, and the swaying water made the head of the wolf king on his chest come alive.

Qi Yan scooped up hot water one after another and splashed it on his face, then grabbed a clean cloth and soaked it in water, and repeatedly wiped his own cheek - the spot that Nangong Lie had kissed.

Suppressing the surging disgust, it didn't stop until the skin became hot.

Qi Yan let out a long sigh of relief, closed her eyes and leaned tiredly on the bathtub, and put the warm clean cloth on her forehead.

The hot water gently wrapped her body, dispelling the winter chill and accumulated fatigue from several days, but Qi Yan was not really resting.

Everything that happened today was reflected in her mind, everything recorded through these eyes.

The scenes were extremely detailed, and even the movements, expressions, positions of each prince, even the color of their palace attire and the accessories on their waists were clearly remembered.

Apart from the necessary pleasantries, Lu Zhongxing, the second son of the Taiwei Mansion, only talked with the two princes of Concubine Hui: Nangong Wei and Nangong Zhen.

The three of them looked very familiar, but judging from the standing position of the fourth prince Nangong Zhen, the inadvertent movements and expressions, they were simply a "vassal" of the second prince.

The third prince Nangong Wang didn't talk to anyone the whole time, but he was very decisive and active when facing the sixth prince Nangong Lie, and when the arrogant Nangong Lie was "subdued" by Nangong Wang, he didn't even have the slightest resistance.

Nangongda, the fifth prince, and his mother Xianfei.

As Nangong Jingnv said: He has a harmonious relationship with his two younger sisters, and he treats Lao Jiu and the two young princes very gently.

The prince Nangongbao and the ninth prince Nangongsi have been holding hands since they entered the palace. Although they are not born of the same mother, their relationship is very good.

Qi Yan also discovered another thing: Nangong Shunu and Lao Jiu seem to be quite afraid of Nangong Lie, what happened between these few people?

Qi Yan sat motionless in the bathtub, her hair was loose, her cheeks were powdery, and her expression was blurred by the steam. No one could have imagined that she was planning something extremely meticulous.

Qi Yan slowly opened her eyes, took off the cloth on her forehead and put it in the water to wash it carefully, her amber eyes sparkled with the water waves.

Qi Yan looked at the turbulent water stirred by her, and raised the corners of her mouth.

After tonight, the old Nangong thief was fifty-one, but he still refused to establish a crown prince.

It is probably because all the sons under his knees are not descended from the direct line, and the eldest son Nan Gongping has a low status, and none of the other sons can stand out, overwhelming the existence of his brothers.

It is impossible to follow the ancient system of the eldest son, and it is impossible to select virtuous persons; no matter who is established, it will cause grievances from other princes.

In the Qing Dynasty, Yongzhou worshiped the ancestors, and the second prince was left to supervise the country, also with the intention of testing.

There are still more than three months before the Qingming Festival, and there are only two months left excluding the travel time.

The most anxious person is the third son of the emperor, Nangong Wang.

Here's your chance!

……

Qi Yan got out of the tub, wiped off the water stains on her body carefully, and changed into normal clothes.Go to the table, pick up the Dieda wine, go to the window, and pour the wine into several flower pots.

She didn't want to erase the pain that kept her awake, but Dieda wine must be used.It would be best to leave some smell in the hall...

At dusk, the servant came to pass the decree: The New Year's Eve palace banquet is about to begin, please bring your son-in-law to the banquet.

When Nangong Jingnu and Qi Yan came, all the princes and princesses including Nangong Ping came, except for the younger Laojiu who was exempted from the New Year's Eve feast.

It was the first time Qi Yan saw the eldest prince Nangong Ping, and he looked like he should be in his thirties, with a neatly trimmed mustache on his lips, sitting quietly in an inconspicuous corner.

The seventh prince, Nangong Li, was sitting opposite the Eldest Prince, sitting in the last seat on the other side. Nangong Sunu, who was pregnant with Liujia, was sitting with her son-in-law, and was talking with Nangong Shunv next to her.

"Big sister!" Nangong Jingnu was extremely happy, dragging her long palace attire and walked over quickly.

"Your Highness, slow down." Princess Qionghua's son-in-law carefully supported Nangong Sunu, who smiled and took Nangong Jingnu's hand to look up and down, and said with relief: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and my little sister has grown into a slim girl." Big girl."

"Big sister~Jing Nu misses you so much, when did you come? This time I will stay in Beijing for a few more days."

"Chen Qiyan, see Your Highness Qionghua, eldest brother-in-law."

Nangong Sunu turned to look at Qi Yan: "This is Jingnu's son-in-law, right?"

"Yes."

"Raise your head and let me take a look."

"Yes." Qi Yan raised her head slowly, keeping her eyes down to avoid staring at each other.

Nangong Sunu took a closer look: "Sure enough, it's as my second sister said: dignified appearance, gentle and courteous."

"Your Highness is overrated."

Nangong Sunu withdrew her gaze, looked at Nangong Jingnu and replied: "My son-in-law and I also arrived at noon. Father is sympathetic to the fact that I am pregnant and Youzhou is far away, so this year's pilgrimage was originally exempted. But Your brother-in-law said that etiquette cannot be broken, and he has not been in Beijing for three years. In addition, the climate in Youzhou is bitter and cold, and this is my first child. The meaning of the son-in-law and this palace is: stay in Beijing to give birth The emperor agrees."

Nangong Jingnu was overjoyed, and carefully stroked Nangong Sunu's stomach: "Is it a nephew or a niece?"

Nangong Sunu smiled lovingly: "It will take a few months to find out."

Qionghua's son-in-law looked at Qi Yan and said: "I heard that my brother-in-law is very talented. In this general examination, he overwhelmed all the students to win the position of Huiyuan. He is only one step away from entering the "Sanyuanlu?"

"Sanyuanlu" is a book that has been circulated since the previous dynasty and was compiled by the court.It records the biographies of Enke's students who have won the first place in the Chunwei Township Examination, Qiuwei Palace Examination, and Golden Palace Examination.

Qi Yan raised her head slowly, her eyes swept over Lu Zhongxing who was standing behind Nangong Shunv.

I don't know if this Qionghua son-in-law was intentional or unintentional: Qi Yan came from a poor family, but he beat the eldest son of the Taiwei's mansion, Lu Boyan, in the test. Time has passed and it is not appropriate to mention it again, besides, people from the Taiwei's mansion were present.

"Brother-in-law is overrated, it's just a fluke."

The other party chuckled: "Oh? My brother-in-law was lucky enough to win 'two yuan and one flower'. Are you saying that the students in the capital are miserable?"

Now everyone could hear the other party's sexuality, Qi Yan remained silent.Nangong Sunu frowned slightly: "My son-in-law."

"Forgive me, Your Highness, but I can't speak."

Nangong Su Nu smiled apologetically at Qi Yan, and explained: "My son-in-law was born in the army, and I hope my brother-in-law will not take offense if he is rash and abrupt."

"My servant dare not."

Nangong Shunu took Nangong Sunu's arm: "Sister must be tired after standing for a long time, right? Shunu helps you sit down."

"Second Sister Lao."

Nangong Sunu sat down, and said to Nangong Jingnu: "Young sister and brother-in-law should also join the table, and the Japanese Palace will invite you and Second Sister to a banquet instead."

"Ah."

After taking her seat, Nangong Jingnv turned her head and glanced at Qi Yan. Seeing that the other party's expression was indifferent, she moved her leg to touch Qi Yan without showing any emotion.

"Your Highness?"

Nangong Jingnv went to Qi Yan's side, lowered her voice and said: "Brother-in-law is always outspoken and has no malicious intentions, so don't take it to heart."

Qi Yan nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness."

After a pause, Qi Yan asked again: "I just heard from Eldest Sister that her residence is not in the capital?"

"My eldest sister's residence is in Youzhou."

Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat: Youzhou is not the old land of Wei State.After the fall of the grassland, Nangong Rang divided the north of Luoshui into eleven counties in Kyushu. The current Youzhou was the territory of the Wei Ke tribe, the three great royal families in the grassland.

"Youzhou? Is...in the north?"

"Well, the eldest brother-in-law is the second son of the general's mansion in Zhenbei. General Zhenbei was made a hereditary marquis by his father because of his outstanding military achievements. Not long after the eldest sister and her husband got married, the eldest son of the general's mansion passed away due to illness. Zhenbei The general has only two legitimate sons, and the father made an exception to let the elder brother-in-law inherit the title, and allowed the elder sister and the elder brother-in-law to go to Youzhou together."

Qi Yan quickly flipped through the file in his heart: General Zhenbei Shangguan Yuan, since the previous dynasty, he has led troops to station on the Luoshui River to defend against pirates.It was one of the few ministers in the previous dynasty who did not support Nangong to proclaim him emperor.

Nowadays, most of the military officers in the court and the generals from all over the country are students of the Taiwei Mansion, but this Shangguan Yuan is a former colleague of Nangong Rang and Lu Quan, and has the capital and prestige to stand up to Lu Quan.

Just because he didn't fully support Nangong Rang to proclaim himself emperor, the new dynasty gradually faded out of the center of power...

Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she smelled something unusual.

"Your Highness, do you dare to ask the eldest brother-in-law's name?"

"Shangguan Wu."

Qi Yan silently kept this name in her heart, and said with a sneer: "The old thief Nangong is good at tricks, and his tricks are really superb.

The eldest daughter, Su Nu, married into the mansion of the hereditary general, and the second daughter, Shu Nu, married into the mansion of the Taiwei, who commanded the world's soldiers and horses.

Did Shangguan Wu's elder brother really die suddenly?

So, did Shangguan Wu Shicai say what he said to Lu Zhongxing on purpose?
