Chapter 62: His Royal Highness the Prince of the Moon (29)
Rong Jing: "...Oh."
After a while, the two said goodbye.
Mr. Nan also returned to Nanfu.
Mrs. Nan happened to have something to discuss with him, but he waited for a long time and didn't see her speak.
"Madam? What's wrong?"
Mrs. Nan still needed some time to prepare, so she talked about other things.
"His Majesty's birthday banquet will be held in a few days. I'm debating whether to take Nan Qianqian there. She is now considered the seventh prince's concubine. If I don't take her, I'm afraid there will be a scandal. If I take her, what will happen?
I don’t know what trouble will happen when the time comes.”
Mr. Nan said coldly: "There is no need to take her there. It's just gossip. Whoever wants to talk can just talk."
Mrs. Nan nodded, she had this intention as well.
only……
She looked at her husband in front of her. Although he was old, he still retained the handsome and extraordinary demeanor of the past.
"Madam, do you have anything else?" Mr. Nan, a couple who has been sleeping together for many years, naturally saw right away that she still had something to say.
Mrs. Nan's cheeks were rosy and she spoke in a low voice: "Xiao'er told me today that she wants a younger brother or sister. She...she is also afraid of getting married and I will have no one to accompany me..."
Mr. Nan was stunned, and then coughed a few times unnaturally: "Ahem...since Xiao'er wants it, then...just obey her."
He said seriously, and Mrs. Nan raised her eyes slightly, looking at him with her gentle, watery eyes.
Mr. Nan got excited and carried Mrs. Nan to the couch.
"The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly now, isn't it good?"
"Nothing, I'll take a rest today. Besides, Xiao'er is in such a hurry, shouldn't we hurry up?"
As soon as he moved his daughter out, Mrs. Nan was speechless.
For a while, the fire was burning, and the Nanda people were also working very hard.
Nan Xiao knew that she would have a younger brother or younger sister soon. When she went to greet Mrs. Nan in the past few days, she saw a bright red face and a lot more smiles on her face.
Of course, the relationship with Mr. Nan is becoming more and more affectionate. Nan Xiao is even rewarded with a big bowl of dog food from time to time.
Rong Jing hasn't come to see her in the past few days, and she doesn't know what she is busy with.
Today is His Majesty's birthday banquet, so the palace is naturally hosting a grand banquet.
Nan Xiao was dressed in a plain white dress, dignified and elegant, quiet and gentle, and followed Mr. Nan and Mrs. Nan into the palace for the banquet.
Surprisingly, Nan Qianqian also came over. She took Rong Qi's arm and walked in openly, and glanced at Nan Xiao proudly.
Nan Xiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.
What is this worth showing off about?
Xiaobai was a little angry.
[Originally, Mrs. Nan had people lock her up tightly, but in the end, she used a dagger to hold the maid who brought her food hostage, then left the Nan Mansion, and then got on Rong Qi's carriage. ]
Nan Xiao said: "Rong Qi helped her?"
[Yes, otherwise, with her ability, she would not be able to get out at all. By the way, host, she actually has another purpose in coming to this palace banquet. 】
"What purpose?"
Speaking of this, Xiaobai stomped his feet angrily.
[Host, you don’t know how shameless she is! She plans to compose a poem at this palace banquet and wants to make herself famous through this method. In fact, she is plagiarizing other people’s things. Bah, disgusting! 】
Previously, at a small palace banquet, Nan Qianqian used this trick to compare poetry with the original owner, causing the original owner's reputation as the most talented woman to plummet.
In front of everyone, she said intentionally or unintentionally that the original owner only had a good skin and no talent at all, and the reputation of the most talented woman was given to her because of her pity.
This kind of humiliation made the original owner, a noble lady, dignified and steady, but she couldn't help crying on the spot.
After that, the original owner stayed at home depressed and did not dare to go out, and fell into self-doubt for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Nan Qianqian was not satisfied yet and wanted to continue to harm her.
Nowadays, it is the birthday of Emperor Tiansheng. The banquet for hundreds of officials is grander than before. There are also many civil servants. What they love most are poems and songs.
Nan Qianqian's reputation was not very popular before, but it was suppressed by overwhelming scandals.
Naturally, all the civil and military officials looked down upon her, but this time it was different.
A look of determination flashed in Nan Qianqian's eyes.
This time, she wants to make the world's literati bow down to her talent, and make them all fall under her pomegranate skirt.
She wants to prove that she is much better than Nan Xiao, who only has beauty and pedantic thoughts.
Nan Qianqian had learned the lesson twice and did not dare to take it lightly this time. She had been preparing for a long time and recited the ancient poems day after day. She was so uneasy that she copied a copy and hid it in her sleeve.
Rong Qi's purpose of helping her is self-evident. If she can really become famous at this banquet, wouldn't half of the civil servants in the court just obey his orders?
Nan Xiao didn't have time to care what Nan Qianqian wanted. She just wanted to see if Rong Jing was there, but she couldn't find anyone after searching around.
Mr. Nan on the side saw through his daughter's thoughts.
"Your Majesty does not like His Highness the Crown Prince, so every time His Majesty holds a birthday banquet, all the princes and princesses are present, but His Highness the Crown Prince is not allowed to come."
Nan Xiao said calmly: "Emperor Dog, there are so many things going on."
When Mr. Nan heard her words, he almost lost his composure and trembled. He whispered: "Be careful what you say."
I thought I could see the little fool at this party, but I didn't expect to see him.
Nan Xiao is very unhappy now.
Someone happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Sister, I'm going to marry the prince and become the princess in a while. I heard that life in the prince's house is very difficult. I don't want to be so poor that I can't blame you. It's better to go back to your parents' house and cry."
Nan Qianqian finally found a point that was better than Nan Xiao, so she naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to ridicule.
She had just heard that the so-called prince had no real power. No, he was not even qualified to attend the banquet.
Seeing that the person Nan Xiao was going to marry was not as good as her, and that she was going to be in the limelight today, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Nan Xiao yawned lazily and began to reply casually.
"Oh, thank you very much, sister. My sister has been locked up in the yard these days, and she hasn't heard a thing, right?"
Nan Qianqian looked at her doubtfully.
"I heard that the seventh prince already has many concubines. Once my sister gets married, she will have many older sisters as companions. It's really enviable."
"You're talking nonsense, brother Qi won't-"
"Oh, by the way, there is Aunt Liu who has a very promising belly. She gave birth to a concubine's eldest son for the Seventh Prince a few days ago, which is equivalent to having a child as soon as her sister gets married. This is such a blessing."
Nan Qianqian was so angry that she wanted to curse on the spot, but she held it back at the critical moment. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
She didn't believe a word of what Nan Xiao said.
Rong Qi was very kind to her, and he never mentioned that he had any concubines in his house, so it was a helpless move for her to become a concubine.
The more she thought about it, the more Nan Qianqian felt that Nan Xiao did it on purpose, just to see her make a fool of herself in public.
But she didn't. She would only be the center of attention at this banquet!
Nan Qianqian showed a smile that was determined to win, picked up the glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp, her actions were very heroic.
Xiaobai was very excited at this moment: [Host, host, when you were talking to her just now, what did you put into her cup while she was not paying attention? 】
Nan Xiao smiled and said, "Some medicine that will make her feel very happy."
