Chapter 125: No More of a Secret
"Of course I know. And ......" Chu Nanyue lowered his eyes slightly, the emotion in his eyes was unclear, "Among the soldiers, some are busy. ”
Qin An didn't dare to ask more, but he had been in the officialdom for a long time, and he could also see the relationship between Wang Chang and Liu Yiyang and Meng Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Come to think of it, there are many more internal struggles in the military department than in the Ministry of Rites.
And what is important now is to enter the palace to meet the emperor and persuade the emperor to dispel the matter of connecting Chu Nanyue and Xu Qingchang as soon as possible.
Chu Nanyue and Xu Qingchang hurriedly finished the trivial matters of the Ministry of Rites and went back to their respective homes.
Although he didn't want to pay attention, Chu Nanxin acted in a high-profile manner, and every time he entered the palace with Dongling Yan, there was some news of movement.
Since becoming a side concubine, it has been another month's work, and Chu Nanxin has run to the palace many times.
I think Chu Nanxin wanted to win a good reputation in order to please Concubine Hui and the emperor.
Chu Nanyue was sorting out the official documents in the mansion, and saw Qingshuang beside her, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing again? Chu Nanyue glanced at Qingshuang.
Qingshuang waved her hand: "No, general, it's the slave who listened to the people who came to the house to talk about it, yesterday the imperial doctor diagnosed it, and Princess Qi was happy." ”
"Really?" Chu Nanyue didn't show any surprise.
"It's true, it's news from the palace." Qingshuang replied.
Chu Nanyue thought for a moment, Dongling Yan and Chu Nanxin had only been married for a month, and this was there, it seems that Dongling Yan was indeed eager to have an heir.
"General, because this is the first of the emperor's grandsons, the emperor and Concubine Hui are very happy, even the queen mother let Princess Qi enter the palace in three days." Qingshuang Road.
"Your Majesty and the two mothers have been looking forward to it for a long time, this is as it should be." Chu Nanyue said.
As for the queen, Chu Nanyue was a little emotional.
The crown prince passed away, leaving no heirs, and even if Donglin Yan is not the queen's parent, but can give birth to the emperor's grandson, the queen is really happy.
"Qingshuang, go and inquire, the adults in the other mansions, do you have any congratulatory gifts for them." Chu Nanyue said.
Qingshuang hurriedly jotted down: "Yes, General." ”
And when it was almost noon, there was a quasi-letter in the palace, and it was no longer a secret that Chu Nanxin had a happy thing.
Just as Chu Nanyue guessed, all the powerful people in Beijing with names and surnames sent congratulatory gifts to Dongling Yan and his wife to please the emperor.
"General, there is another thing, for this matter, the palace will specially set up a palace banquet in a few days to celebrate Princess Qi's happiness." Qingshuang said.
"It's only been a month, and you're going to have a palace banquet?" Chu Nanyue was surprised.
According to the Tanglin precedent, it is generally after March that the news is facing everyone to ask for auspiciousness.
"The emperor attaches great importance to the princess's fetus, so he is in a hurry." Qingshuang guessed.
And although Chu Nanyue didn't reply anything, she felt that it was inappropriate in her heart.
On the day of the palace feast.
Chu Nanyue wore a lake-blue pleated skirt, and the flower and bird patterns were decorated with golden silk threads, but she was noble. And she is rouge and thin, just like her personal nature, and has a lot of wantonness.
Chu Nanyue took Qingshuang to the palace, got off the horse outside the palace gate, and saw Xie Yinhua also walking down from the carriage under the service of the maid.
"Yo, no wonder I heard the crows in the courtyard chirping today, it turned out that I was going to meet General Chu." Xie Yinhua looked disgusted.
"It's amazing that Miss Xie can understand the words of birds." Chu Nanyue is neither humble nor arrogant.
Xie Yinhua didn't react, but the maid next to her had already heard it, and laughed without paying attention.
And after this experience, Xie Yinhua also understood that Chu Nanyue was comparing her with birds.
But you must not blurt out these words, otherwise it will be boring for yourself.
So Xie Yinhua endured his anger and said, "General Chu, now that I came first, I should have entered the palace gate first." I wasn't interested in gossiping with General Chu, so I'll go first. ”
"Wait." Chu Nanyue said unhurriedly. "If it is really Miss Chu who came first, why is the carriage of the Xie family behind the people of my general's mansion instead?"
"You!" Xie Yinhua said annoyedly.
The two argued, Chu Nanyue had no intention of fighting, and could even take the initiative to give in. But Xie Yinhua was disrespectful at the beginning, which made her lose the meaning of repaying grievances with virtue.
Seeing that Qingshuang was already so angry that she wanted to go to Xie Yinhua to theorize, she heard another carriage and horse not far away, which turned out to be Liu Yiyang's carriage.
Liu Yiyang walked to Xie Yinhua by himself, but he didn't look at Chu Nanyue on the other side, and only asked Xie Yinhua: "Miss Xie, I don't know why you stopped here and didn't enter for a long time?" ”
Xie Yinhua didn't have a good temper, but Liu Yiyang Suri touted and flattered her, so she said lightly: "General Chu hasn't entered yet, who can enter this palace gate?" ”
When Liu Yiyang heard this, he walked directly in front of Chu Nanyue and saluted her.
"General Chu, although we are all military officials, the word etiquette should not be lost. Miss Xie is already here, you might as well let her go first, and everyone will look better. Liu Yiyang said.
Chu Nanyue looked at Liu Yiyang, who seemed to be righteous, and couldn't help but feel interesting: "I don't know how Lord Liu is in the military department, but he went so quickly to curry favor with Miss Xie." But I am a first-class general, even if the prime minister comes, the two of us will have to make concessions to each other before we can determine who is first. I don't know where you said that you let Miss Xie enter the palace first, where did it come from? ”
Liu Yiyang was speechless, and he was secretly afraid that Chu Nanyue would know that he had been clinging to Xie Yinhua in recent days, and Fang Cai's righteousness and solemnity would soften in an instant.
This time, it was Chu Nanyue who said politely to Xie Yinhua: "Miss Xie, I'll go in first." Since you two know each other well, it's better to catch up here, and it's not too late to come in again. ”
Saying that, Chu Nanyue had already brought Qingshuang and other maids into the palace.
And that team of personal soldiers was guarding him, even if Xie Yinhua was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say a word.
So Xie Yinhua could only look at Liu Yiyang angrily. Liu Yiyang didn't please anyone, but he provoked Chu Nanyue first.
After entering the palace, the eunuchs in the palace came to pick him up, and Chu Nanyue walked all the way to the palace banquet, and along the way, he saw many other guests.
Since it is a happy event, everyone is also happy to be happy. And the people who are most happy today are the people who stand on the side of Tanglinyan.
Chu Nanyue hurriedly sat down, and after a while, when the guests at the table were almost full, he saw Chu Nanxin enter the hall and was helped to sit on the seat beside Dongling Yan.
"I'm really sorry, I just went to sit in the mother's harem, I don't want to forget the hour." Chu Nan core road.
"Princess Qi's body is heavy. What's more, the queen invites you to sit down? Princess Qi doesn't have to think about it. Some of the ladies next to him spoke one after another.
Everyone knows that Chu Nanxin is now a royal nobleman, and how many people are looking forward to Chu Nanxin giving birth to this child as soon as possible. What's a late arrival?
