When he heard that Fu Yunyan had sent a letter to him, Nangong Yue couldn't wait to open the letter and couldn't help smiling.

This is Fu Yunyan's letter, but it is the handwriting of his brother Nangong Xin.

Nangong Yue can almost imagine the scene where his brother is sitting at the table and Fu Yunyan is dictating with his hand.

In the letter, Fu Yunyan first congratulated him and gave Nangong Yue a peace of mind. She also said that she would help with the preparation of Han Qixia's small ceremony and let Nangong Yue not worry about these things, so she should make the door Take a nap and take a good rest.

In the end, Fu Yunyan added a joke, saying that let Nangong Yue have a son, and she would have a daughter in the future, and the two of them could get married.

In a letter, Nangong Yue could not help but smile and laugh, and the originally depressed mood was a lot easier.

After reading it twice, she collected the letter and said to Bai Hui and Queer: "The two of you are working hard, and you have worked hard. Hurry down and rest."

Bai Hui and Queer smiled and blessed themselves: "Thank you, Princess Shi."

Then the two maids retreated.

Nangong Yue used lunch, and walked in the garden for half an hour to eat, then felt tired and rushed up, intending to return to the inner room for a nap.

After picking the curtain into the room, she was dumbfounded and stopped unconsciously at the door curtain. The sleepy worms flew away in an instant.

This is the time, and the interior has changed a lot.

She placed a beauty couch by the window, re-made the mattress, and changed a lot of furnishings... At first glance, she almost doubted that she had returned to Bixiaotang, familiar and comfortable.

If you look closely, you will find that there is still a difference of three or four points between the house here and Bixiaotang.

In the inner room, Baihui, who had just made the bed, turned around and saluted Nangong Yue respectfully.

Nangong Yue looked at Bai Hui, who had changed to a Nanliang dress, somewhat helpless, and said, "Did I not let you go to rest?"

Bai Hui smiled slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, the slave-servant has already rested." Unlike Queer, she hadn't slept peacefully when she went out. Bai Hui's experience was much more complicated since she was a child. ability.In addition, she is a martial arts person, and her foundation is always better than Nangong Yue and Queer.

Nangong Yue looked at the inner room again, and couldn't help remembering what Bai Hui had said before that she brought some things she used frequently.At that time, Nangong Yue thought it was just some small objects, but now I see the familiar furniture in this room, and I understand it in my heart. I am afraid that this time Baihui and Queer brought several carts!

She squinted Bai Hui with some amusement and some helplessness, but the girl learned to avoid weight and be light.

In this way, the so-called "some medicinal materials" will not be too small.

This time, Nangong Yue also saw many familiar small objects, such as her bronze mirror, a few books she didn't finish reading, her commonly used tea cup...

These bits and pieces are all brought in.

Nangong Yue almost sighed, and once again realized that Xiao Yi was really nervous.

There are more than seven months to come. If Ayi has always been like this, he can't have a good time.

Nangong Yue thought sweetly and with a little trouble, and suddenly looked at it, and saw an eye-catching object placed on the case beside the beauty's couch, and walked past curiously.

Bai Hui looked down at Nangong Yue's eyes and said, "Concubine Shizi, this is what Mrs. Fang brought the slave-servant..."

During the discourse, Nangong Yue sat down on the beauty couch, and then picked up the celadon jar with a large bowl and a high palm on the table.

"Grandpa Fang said that the first princess liked to eat this kind of green plum when she was pregnant with the prince, so the slave-maid brought you a few cans." Bai Hui said as she quickly put a big welcome pillow on Nangong Yue Behind him.

I heard that Mrs. Fang brought it to me. Nangong Yue quickly opened the jar, took the silver spoon from Bai Hui, scooped a green pickled green plum from it and sent it to the entrance...

very sour……

She was sour that she could not help squinting her eyes, but it made people feel refreshed, sour, sweet, fragrant...

She smiled and bent, leaning habitually on the pillow behind her, only to feel comfortable.

Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt relaxed. He felt like he was in Bixiaotang, and he was at ease.

This comfort is not derived from the environment and furnishings, but because of people.

Although the servants in the Nanliang Royal Palace were very dedicated, they were not as comprehensive as Bai Hui and Queer. They were so abiding by the rules of the palace that they were a little indifferent. In addition, they were afraid of her and acted to restrain themselves. What's more, they simply don't know her habits.

Thinking about it, Baihui poured water on her again and put the tea cup into her hands.

Nangong Yue lazily leaned on the beauty couch, looking at the book, eating snacks for a while, drinking tea for a while, and being content.

When Xiao Yi came back, he saw that the inner room had changed greatly, and he guessed that someone from Luo Yue City had arrived. He tickled his mouth and was quite satisfied.

When Bai Hui saw Xiao Yi coming back, she retreated spontaneously after saluting, only to hear what Shizi Ye said to Princess Shizi about your flowers and birds doing things well.

Bai Hui frowned, as if she didn't hear it.

After Xiao Yi sat down on the beauty couch, she put her hand on the case.

He would go out and buy some Nanliang sweets and desserts almost every day and come back for her to taste. Nangong Yue has long been accustomed to it.

This dessert is a kind of Nanliang glutinous rice with a sweet fruit and a little coconut flesh. Nangong Yue feels strange at first glance, but it tastes pretty good.

After Nangong Yue had eaten a little and a half, all the rest went into Xiao Yi's belly.

The king of Zhennan, who likes sweets, ate vaguely and said: "...Ayue, I have found a craftsman to build a horse carriage. Although Nanliang is a barbarous place, the craftsmanship of the craftsman is good and unique. The craftsman said that he can try to reduce the vibration of the carriage, and it will be much more comfortable to sit on than the ordinary carriage. When we go back, take this carriage."

Nangong Yue didn't think about it, Xiao Yi had already thought about it, what else could she say, she could only respond obediently.

Xiao Yi gently touched Nangong Yue’s still flat abdomen and put her palms on her for a while, and asked, “Ayue, when will we be moving?”

Nangong Yue recalled the medical book and said with some uncertainty: "About four months or so."

"When the naughty boy can move, then she should be able to hear our voice?" Xiao Yi asked again.

"Maybe." Nangong Yue replied casually.

Xiao Yi automatically ignored the uncertainties in Nangong Yue's words, his eyes lit up, and said enthusiastically: "Ayue, wait for that time, I'll read a soldier's book for him, OK?"

Xiao Yi is interested in studying for her daughter, Nangong Yue is happy, but, why is it a soldier's book?

She blinked, and suddenly thought of Xiao Yi's joke about cultivating a female feudal lord, wouldn't he be serious?

Nangong Yue had a bad hunch in her heart.

Ai always likes to pit people, this time, would he want to "pit" their daughter?

Xiao Yi hugged her with a smile and said with pleasure, when his daughter grew up, he would teach her to bow and shoot, the sandbox of the map... I heard Nangong Yue's brow twitching, very powerless.

Xiao Yi laughed even more, such a good day, he didn’t want his stinky girl to hurt, and it’s okay for Wang Du’s broken things to tell her later.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly at the thought of flying pigeons coming from Wang Du successively these days.

Speaking of Wangdu, the fraud case continues to ferment and intensify. From the students to the ordinary people, the streets and alleys are discussing this matter, and there is a tendency to be out of control.

In this heavy atmosphere, several undergraduates who ordered the emperor to re-examine the test papers day and night spent three days reviewing all the test papers, re-ranking them, and reporting them to the emperor.

The result of the review made the emperor finally frown slightly.

Compared with the previous list, except for the slight difference in the rankings of some candidates, the overall difference between the two assessments is not much. Compared with today's Huiyuan, Jingzhou Huang and Tai are still the same. For example, the third and fourth places change each other. After the ranking, for example, two people who were originally at the end of the list fell out of the list...

Such subtle differences sometimes depend on the examiner's personal preferences, so they are almost negligible.

The emperor made a big swipe, and gave the will to the tribute courtyard.

Early the next morning, the students learned that the posters were reposted today, and they all heard the news and gathered at the gate of Gongyuan.

In the sight of the students burning hot, the clerks who posted the notice were inevitably nervous, and carefully posted a notice beside the original list...

The students swarmed over like a tide, and the people in the back squeezed hard forward, and they asked the others what the sign said.

Soon, there was a shout in front of me reading out the notice... No one of the students thought that it would be such a result after a few days of investigation. It was quiet for four weeks, and then they whispered and talked with each other:

"This notice says that the emperor has ordered several undergraduates to review all test papers, confirming that there is no favoritism and malpractice in this year's main and auxiliary exams, so the test list will remain the same..."

"How could it be?... This list is a bit wrong!"

"What's wrong?! The emperor would not cover up a few fraudulent examiners?"

"Yeah yeah. It is also commonplace for the so-called talents to drop out of the Imperial Examination system in the past years. In the past years, some people suddenly burst into shock when they tried to..."

"So, no one really cheated?"

"..."

Many students seemed to be poured into a bucket of cold water, their emotions calmed down, and several students outside the crowd began to leave one after another...

At this moment, a slightly sharp male voice suddenly shouted: "No, impossible!"

The students around looked at it in a sound, and saw a young student wearing a blue scholar robe came out of the crowd, turned to face the students, and said arrogantly: "Everyone listen to me! The younger thought this time Science must be cheated!"

The students were all commotion at once, their faces flustered, and no one in the crowd asked: "This Xiongtai, what is your basis?"

Seeing that the storm that was about to subside suddenly reappeared suddenly, the little man's face was not very good-looking, barely suppressing his impatience, and raised his voice and said, "This son, don't believe the female yellow!"

"Of course I am not a vulgar." The blue robe student looked at the young man contemptuously and said loudly, "Dear brother, please listen to the younger brother to say a few words. Since ancient times, imperial examination fraud has been banned repeatedly, but the means of fraud has been for thousands of years. It’s the same as ever, and there are just a few types: joints, gun replacements, counterfeiting, entrainment, plagiarism, volume change, etc., joints are just the most common way."

In fact, what he called "joint joints" is actually to bribe the examiners to participate in the imperial examination, so that they can give their test papers a high score, so that they can be named in the gold list.

Hearing what he said was orderly, the other students nodded frequently, showing their approval.

The blue robe student continued: "The emperor Yingming, ordered several adults to re-examine the test paper, which is equivalent to eliminating the "pass joint" such fraudulent methods, and the remaining gun substitutions, frauds and other practices will only occasionally one or two What the candidates did... This time Enke’s list was so unfair, many talented people fell into the Sunshan Mountains, but those straw bags with no poetry in their stomachs had the title of the gold list. If it was not a "pass joint", then the reason is probably obvious, only There is one remaining..."

Everyone watched him breathlessly, waiting for him to continue talking, but he stopped selling things.

The surroundings were quiet and silent, and many people were suspiciously looking at their friends beside them...until a person shouted thoughtfully: "I understand, if someone digresses, someone must digress!"

This sentence seemed to drop a bomb in the crowd, and the students exploded immediately, and said in a hurry:

"Right, it's a dilemma!"

"Only if the examiner leaks out the questions, can those bales get help!"

"What is the problem, I think it should be the "sell" problem!"

A student hatefully increased the volume on the word "sell", which caused the students around him to be more indignant, yeah, if it was not for "profit", why should the examiners leak the question, this is the "sell question" Correct!

The imperial examination was to choose talents for the country, but it was turned into a tool for his personal gain by some people who were eager for quick success.

Another middle-aged student sighed indignantly: "Insulting Sven! It is really insulting Sven!"

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and students must be given an explanation!"

"Yeah. I must find a way to ask the emperor to investigate and punish me severely, and never let the wind of fraud confuse me in the Dayu government..."

The students were getting more and more excited. The green-robed student in front looked at everyone and shouted with his arms: "Come to the court, let's go to the court!"

One response.

Feeling angry.

Hundreds of students rushed in the direction of the imperial palace like a tide, and the waves of waves waved over, and finally gathered on the square in front of the palace gate, kneeling down and asking for help...

The scene is very spectacular.

This kneel is day and night...

When the sky was bright the next day, the officials of the dynasty came to the palace gate one after another, and naturally they all saw the students who knelt down to ask for help. There were many discussions and their hearts were quite complicated. They all realized that this time the Nangong family was afraid Wonderful...

Many people sighed secretly, and when they came to the Jin Luan Hall, they found that the five prince Han Lingfan had also come. Why he came here is self-evident.

Baiguan's gaze wandered between the five princes and Zhu Yushi. It was in this strange atmosphere that the dynasty began.

Sure enough, Zhu Yushi played again and played the emperor Ming emperor's guesses about the question of the examiner's question. The emperor must strictly investigate the case with Zheng Chaogang, saying that he is powerful and generous.

All the examiners have been involved in divulging the question, and it is all a crime of death.

Immediately afterwards, the five princes entered the ranks, struggling with them, and there was a turbulent wave in Chaotang...

However, Nangong Qin, who was imprisoned in the prison at the moment, knew nothing about the outside. He and his deputy master Kaoli had not seen the sun for many days, and they could only know the day and night from the time when the prison head delivered the meal.

The two adults kept their honors on weekdays, and this time they were imprisoned in this dark cell. Naturally, they suffered a big crime, but both knew that the situation was not at its worst, because they were still able to wear outer robes and live alive. Sitting here, he was not stripped of only his middle clothes or shackles, and the condition of this cell was not the worst. There was still a bed, a table and a chair...

But the two of them seemed to be standing on the bottom of the cliff, as long as a strong wind blew them, they would fall into the deep valley, and they would never be killed again...

"Hey--"

Li Guyang, who was sitting at the table, sighed faintly. In this quiet and deep prison, this sigh became particularly loud.

"I don't know what's going on..." Li Guyang seemed to himself, and he seemed to be asking Nangong Qin.

Nangong Qin of the next cell sat on the wall, closing his eyes, as if contemplating.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at Li Guyang and met with the other party's four eyes. His eyes were heavy and helpless.They were imprisoned in this prison, and they could not do anything about the situation outside.

Li Guyang said with a straight face: "Master Nangong, I believe the adult is a man. Let's call somebody's taboo this time."

Nangong Qin also sighed and said nothing, and this time Li Guyang was also tired of himself.

Li Guyang looked at Nangong Qin thoughtfully, and said: "It seems that Nangong adults already have a guess, can you tell me..." After half of the words, Li Guyang frowned, hesitantly changed his mouth, "count Well, I know too much, I am afraid that even my family can’t keep it. My Li family has always only been a pure minister, never involved in party disputes, I hope the emperor will look at this and let them go back to their hometowns, I hope my Li family will never step into it again Official career..."

Li Guyang said the tone was heavier.

Nangong Qin could only comfort: "Maybe there is room to turn around..." But his tone seemed so empty that he couldn't even convince himself.

Li Guyang smiled bitterly and asked, "Can Master Nangong settle down?"

Nangong Qin nodded. At this time, the sound of footsteps and the voice of the prisoner's head were faintly heard not far away.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a medium-sized prisoner came in with a red-lacquered wooden food container in one hand and a lantern in the other.

"Master Nangong, Master Li," the prisoner greeted them politely, "the little one brought lunch to the two." So he put the food box on the ground outside the cell and took one out of it The tray was then sent into the cell through the gap between the fence doors.

Nangong Qin took the tray, paused for a moment, and then thanked quietly: "Thank you, Zhang Luo."

"Master Nangong, the food is still warm. Please hurry and eat." Zhang Gongtou smiled and then took another tray from the second floor of the food box and sent it to Master Li. The adult greeted a few words.

Nangong Qin's complex gaze stayed on Zhang's back for a moment, and then picked up the tray and walked to the table and chairs in the corner of the cell.While lowering the tray, he looked down at his right palm, and there was a folded note in his palm.

This was Zhang Zhangtou's hand that was jammed into his palm while he was delivering the meal.

Nangong Qin couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Jao's head again. After the other party gave Master Li the meal, he left, and his back was soon swallowed by the darkness of the cell...

Nangong Qin's face is uncertain, the situation at this moment is so severe, once the wrong step is taken, then the entire Nangong Palace will really be lost!

Nangong Qin blocked his movements with his body, and quickly opened the note. There were only a few words on the note, but his eyes suddenly looked big.

This……

Does anyone want to set up a frame to trap themselves?!

He thought intuitively, with his right hand subconsciously exerting a little effort, and glanced at the paper again, his eyes paused for a moment at the edge of the paper, and then quickly folded the paper back according to the original crease.

A bright red seal on the seal is as dazzling as blood, deeply imprinted in the eyes of Nangong Qin...

This is the stamp of the King Shizi of Zhennan.

That is to say, this note was sent by his niece-in-law Xiao Yi, Nangong's life-saving policy.

Nangong Qin's eyes changed a little, his eyes dark and deep...
