After a thrilling night at the Beijing Night Market, the next morning, the sunlight was like a veil, shining through the carved window lattices of the Zhennan Palace, outlining mottled light and shadows in the courtyard.
The dewdrops on the flowers and plants sparkled like tiny crystals.
The four children, Nan Jinyi, Nan Jinyu, Nan Jinxuan and Nan Jinyao, gathered in the courtyard early and excitedly shared their adventures of last night.
"Brother, when you throw that ball, those bad guys turn pale with fear!"
Nan Jinyao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Nan Jinyi with admiration, her little face flushed.
Nan Jinyi scratched his head, raised the corner of his mouth, and said proudly: "Of course!
However, this time, thanks to everyone's efforts, we were able to rescue those children. ”
Nan Jinyu replied with great interest: "That's right, when I trapped them with the water curtain, they were all dumbfounded and called us monsters, hahahaha!"
The children chatted with each other, and their cheerful laughter echoed in the courtyard.
At this time, the palace steward came hurriedly, followed by a palace eunuch.
The eunuch looked respectful, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "The emperor has ordered that Nangong Yan, the Prince of Zhennan, Bai Linglong, the Princess, and their daughters should immediately enter the palace to see the emperor."
Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong looked at each other, understood, and nodded to indicate that they knew.
The family packed up quickly and followed their father-in-law to the palace.
The carriage was driving slowly on the streets of the capital. Outside the window, people of different surnames were coming and going. The shops on the street were very busy, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another.
But Nangong Yan's family was thinking about entering the palace, secretly guessing the emperor's intention of suddenly summoning him.
As you step into the palace, the majestic and magnificent palace comes into view.
The vermilion palace walls are tall and majestic, and the glazed tiles shine golden in the sunlight.
They were led to the imperial study, where the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne. When he saw Nangong Yan and his family come in, he smiled warmly and said, "My son, I heard that you were attacked by human traffickers at the night market yesterday. Are the children all right?"
Nangong Yan quickly knelt down and saluted, and responded respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, father, the children are all safe.
This time, thanks to their intelligence and bravery, they not only protected themselves, but also rescued many abducted children. ”
The emperor's eyes were full of admiration, and he nodded and said, "You are worthy of being my grandchildren. You are so responsible at such a young age. You will definitely be great in the future!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the queen hurried in, her eyes concerned, and walked straight to the children, holding the hands of her grandchildren, looking them up and down, muttering, "Let the royal grandmother see if they are hurt anywhere.
These bad guys are so evil! ”
The children stood obediently and answered the queen's questions one by one. For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study was warm.
As everyone was talking, the Queen Mother, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, walked into the imperial study with Liu Ruoli.
Liu Ruoli has a graceful figure and beautiful appearance, but there is a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
When the Queen Mother saw the four children, a smile immediately appeared on her face and she walked quickly forward.
Upon seeing this, Nan Jinyi and the other three bowed in unison: "Greetings to Grandmother."
The sound is clear and loud.
The queen mother's face was full of love. She picked up Nan Jinyao and gently stroked her head: "My dear great-grandson, I love you more and more as you grow older. Great grandmother loves you very much."
Nan Jinyao smiled sweetly and leaned intimately in the Queen Mother's arms.
Liu Ruoli stood aside, but her eyes were always glued to Nangong Yan, with undisguised admiration in her eyes.
She turned her gaze to Bai Linglong's four children, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
In his heart, he thought viciously: "Why did Bai Linglong marry Nangong Yan and give birth to so many children?
These children are nothing but stumbling blocks in my way.
If it weren't for them, Nangong Yan's favor and the honor in the palace would have belonged to me. Only I am worthy of bearing Nangong Yan's child. They all deserve to die! ”
During the greetings, Liu Ruoli caught a glimpse of Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan smiling at each other. She felt jealous and couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh, I heard that the princes and princesses in the palace showed their skills yesterday and rescued many children. They are really heroes when they are young.
It's just that the world is complicated, and some people just love to be in the limelight, and they are not afraid of causing any trouble. ”
Bai Linglong's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness when she heard this, but she still smiled and responded slowly: "Miss Liu, you are too kind, but we are just children who have justice in our hearts and cannot bear to see innocent children suffer.
Miss Liu, on the other hand, usually stays at home, so naturally she doesn't know the difficulties of life in the market. ”
Liu Ruoli was choked and her face turned pale and red, but she didn't know how to get angry.
After everyone exchanged greetings, the palace maids served fragrant tea.
Liu Ruoli gracefully picked up the teacup and took a sip.
At this moment, Bai Linglong quietly used her special powers to mix a kind of powder that made people fart and have diarrhea into Liu Ruoli's tea.
Not long after, Liu Ruoli felt a churning in her stomach and an irresistible urge came over her.
Her face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but due to the occasion, she had to endure it.
"Poof——" A loud fart sound suddenly rang out, instantly breaking the silence in the room.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Liu Ruoli. Her face flushed red and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"What's going on here?"
The Queen Mother looked at Liu Ruoli with a puzzled look on her face.
Before Liu Ruoli could open her mouth to explain, a series of farts rang out, each louder than the last.
Nan Jinyi couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly covered his mouth, his shoulders still shaking uncontrollably.
Nan Jinyu blushed and whispered to Nan Jinxuan, "Could this aunt have an upset stomach? Why is it like a firecracker? It stinks so bad."
Nan Jinxuan suppressed his laughter and gently poked Nan Jinyu: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao 뀞 can hear it."
Nan Jinyao wrinkled her nose and said in a baby voice, "That auntie stinks. Yaoer doesn't like it."
Her voice was clear and childish, and it was particularly loud in this slightly awkward and quiet atmosphere, causing everyone to laugh.
The emperor also looked helpless, looking at Liu Ruoli and said: "Miss Liu, what did you eat?
If you feel unwell, you should go back and rest first. ”
The Queen Mother also looked displeased and waved her hand: "Ruoli, you should go back first and come to pay your respects another day."
Liu Ruoli felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She covered her stomach and ran out in embarrassment.
Before he even reached the palace gate, he felt a strong urge to defecate. He had no time to find a toilet and made a fool of himself on the way.
The palace maids and eunuchs all looked at him sideways but did not dare to laugh out loud.
Liu Ruoli covered her stomach and staggered away from the imperial study. With every step she took, she felt everyone's eyes on her.
As soon as she turned a corner and made sure no one saw her, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Bai Linglong, you bitch!
As for Nangong Yan's family, they made me look so ugly today, I will not be your lord if I don't take revenge! ”
The scene just now kept appearing in her mind, her face flushed red, and her anger almost swallowed her: "That little bitch Bai Linglong must have done something wrong and tampered with the tea.
And Nangong Yan, he just watched me make a fool of myself, pretending to be a gentle and gentleman on weekdays, but in fact he doesn't take me seriously at all!
Those little brats are no good either. They are so smug. I'll teach you a lesson in the future! ”
The more Liu Ruoli thought about it, the angrier she became. Her steps became more and more hurried. When she passed a bush, she fiercely kicked the stone bench next to her. With a "bang", the stone bench did not move at all, but her foot was in so much pain that she cried out, "Ah!"
She gasped and nearly fell down.
"Why am I, Liu Ruoli, inferior to Bai Linglong?
In terms of family background, I am also a lady from a famous family; in terms of appearance, I am even more beautiful like a fairy.
Why did she marry Nangong Yan and enjoy wealth and splendor, with children around her?
I should be the mistress of Zhennan Palace, and those seats for children should be for me, the child! ”
Liu Ruoli gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment, "Bai Linglong, just wait for me.
I will definitely let you have a taste of what it's like to lose something, let Nangong Yan fall at my feet, and let your whole family pay the price for today's humiliation! ”
She limped on, but the hatred in her heart grew, and she even began to think about how to take revenge.
"I will find an opportunity to expose Bai Linglong's true colors in front of the Queen Mother, saying that she is jealous and poisonous;
She also had to find ways to sow discord between Nangong Yan and her, and make the couple turn against each other.
As for those kids, hmph, I will let them know the consequences of offending me! ”
Liu Ruoli was plotting a vicious plan in the background, and didn't pay any attention to the road ahead. He almost bumped into the oncoming eunuch.
After resolving the little incident with Liu Ruoli, the Emperor and the Empress invited Nangong Yan and his family to have dinner in the palace.
Soon, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother also arrived.
The Grand Concubine was gentle and generous. When she saw Bai Linglong, she took her hand and walked aside, whispering, "Sister-in-law, I have something I want to ask you for help.
I have been married to the emperor's mansion for a long time, but I have never conceived a child. I am very worried. I heard that my brother and sister-in-law are excellent doctors and have miraculous medical skills. Can you help me find out the reason? ”
Bai Linglong smiled and nodded, motioning for the Concubine Tai to sit down, then gently held her wrist, closed her eyes, and sensed her physical condition.
After a while, Bai Linglong opened her eyes, took out an exquisite jade bottle filled with spiritual spring water from her sleeve, and handed it to the Grand Concubine: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your body, just your blood circulation is a little blocked.
This bottle of spiritual spring water has the effect of nourishing the body and regulating qi and blood. If you take it every day, I believe you will get good news soon. ”
The Queen Mother took the spiritual spring water, her eyes full of gratitude: "Really?
Thank you so much, my sister-in-law. If it is really as you said, I will definitely thank you generously. ”
Bai Linglong waved her hands quickly: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
Everyone moved to the imperial kitchen, where a table was filled with sumptuous dishes.
The delicacies are delicious and the aroma is everywhere.
We sat together, enjoying the food and talking about the world.
The children were also lively and cheerful during the feast. Nan Jinyi told about his adventures in the night market in vivid detail, making the emperor, empress and others laugh.
Nan Jinyu demonstrated a new and interesting magic trick he had learned, using magic to manipulate water droplets to change shape in the air, which drew bursts of amazement from the crowd.
Nan Jinyao was like a happy elf, moving around the table and bringing endless joy to everyone.
Nan Jinxuan spoke to his elders in a gentle and elegant manner, showing his composure.
The whole banquet was filled with laughter, warmth and liveliness.
After the banquet, Nangong Yan's family said goodbye to the emperor, empress and others.
Walking out of the palace, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, and the family's figures were stretched out long.
After experiencing all these things, whether it was the thrilling rescue in the night market or the small episode in the palace, the children cherished each other more and made Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong have more expectations for the future.
They know that there may be more challenges in the future, but as long as the family works together, no difficulties can stop them.
Back at the Zhennan Palace, the children were still excitedly discussing the interesting things that happened in the palace today, especially Liu Ruoli's embarrassing moments, which made them laugh so hard.
Bai Linglong looked at the children with an innocent smile, full of warmth.
Nangong Yan walked up to her and gently held her hand: "Thank you for your hard work today."
Bai Linglong looked up at him and smiled: "As long as the family is safe and sound, everything is worth it."
As the night deepened, the lights in the Zhennan Palace went out one by one, and the entire mansion was immersed in tranquility, as if to draw a perfect end to this fulfilling and wonderful day.
