Chapter 172: The marriage is set, the imperial city changes

Zhou Yi cursed all the way, but Nangong Muyan ignored him and dragged him into his room, slamming the door.

"Nangong Muyan, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yi looked at the man in front of him and straightened his clothes that were torn to pieces, and then he found that he was dragged into a room.

There was a bed in the room!

Zhou Yi was immediately terrified, covering his collar with one hand and pressing his belt with the other, and retreated to the door: "Don't even think about it!"

Nangong Muyan smiled slightly, looking at Zhou Yi's appearance of a chaste and unyielding man, she wanted to beat him up.

"You misunderstood," Nangong Muyan said with a grin, "Don't worry, I won't sleep with you this time. I just want to talk to you about our marriage."

"I won't listen!" Zhou Yi refused to communicate and said firmly, "I won't marry you either. Give up on this idea! A woman like you--" "

I'm pregnant." Nangong Muyan interrupted him casually.

Zhou Yi's words came to an abrupt end, his eyes widened suddenly, he couldn't believe what he heard, and after a while he found his voice again: "Pregnant, pregnant,...pregnant?"

Nangong Muyan's smile faded and he nodded seriously.

"Me, me, me... mine?"

Nangong Muyan wanted to hit someone again. She took a deep breath and silently repeated "Be calm and live a long life" in her heart several times before she spoke: "I am not a water-loving Yanghua person. I have only had it with you."

And I have only had it with the person in front of me in my two lifetimes.

"How is it possible? Didn't you drink the contraceptive soup?"

He handed the medicine to the waiter at the time, asked them to boil it and send it up, and then went home by himself. He didn't see Nangong Muyan drink the bowl of medicine with his own eyes.

"I drank it," Nangong Muyan knew that Zhou Yi was suspicious of her, and explained: "If I didn't drink it, why would I go to the trouble of asking you to buy it?"

"Then what's going on..."

Zhou Yi was stunned, his hands covering his waist and collar fell down powerlessly, and something in his eyes was broken.

"Who knows?" Nangong Muyan sighed and said helplessly: "I just found out that I'm pregnant today, and then my mother threatened to die. I had no choice but to tell you."

Zhou Yi was silent, lowered his eyes, staring at Nangong Muyan's flat belly motionlessly, feeling as if he was being teased by fate.

Nangong Muyan looked at him, and he was indeed much thinner than before. Before, this man looked kind of heartless and stupid, but now that he was thin, his edges and corners were clearer, and he looked like a mature and stable man. Nangong Muyan

also knew that Zhou Yi hated her, and all this was an unprovoked disaster for him.

Thinking of this, she felt a rare sense of guilt in her heart.

"After you marry me, I won't care about you. You can have as many concubines as you want, okay?" Nangong Muyan promised solemnly.

Zhou Yi looked up at her, curled his lips, and said self-deprecatingly: "We in the Zhou family don't have the rule of taking concubines."

"Then why don't you buy a house and keep one outside?" Nangong Muyan suggested sincerely: "Don't let them find out, I can cover for you." "

Shut up, I don't want to talk to you about this, let me be quiet for a while." Zhou Yi was in no mood at all.

Nangong Muyan shut up obediently, hugged his arms and waited for Zhou Yi to recover from the huge shock.

After waiting patiently for a long time, the person in front of her finally spoke, his voice so soft that it sounded like a whisper: "Nangong Muyan, you are such a bastard, why are you so bad? Did I owe you in my last life..."

Nangong Muyan: "..."

In this world, Zhou Yi is the only one who can scold her in front of her without making her want to kill him.

After a while, Zhou Yi sighed deeply, as if he had made up his mind, raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Muyan and said: "I will marry you, but there are some things I need to make clear to you in advance."

"Three rules, I understand, you tell me."

After all, she owed him, Nangong Muyan's tolerance for Zhou Yi was extremely high.

"First of all, you are not allowed to bully my parents."

Nangong Muyan nodded quickly: "Of course."

"My family has many houses in the capital. After you marry me, you can pick one you like. My parents will not live with us. You officials have many rules. My parents are definitely not used to it."

"Okay, okay!" Nangong Muyan wanted it very much. She didn't want to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Secondly, you can't have bad thoughts about your sister-in-law anymore. Stay away from her and Liu Di in the future, and don't do evil again."

"Okay." Even if she wanted to do something to Jiang Ning now, it would not be easy.

"Then...you are not allowed to bully me."

Nangong Muyan had a heart attack. In Zhou Yi's heart, what kind of vicious woman was she?

"Especially, you can't force me to do that with you again..."

Zhou Yi continued, and Nangong Muyan's breathing stagnated and her blood pressure soared.

It turned out that in Zhou Yi's eyes, she was not only as vicious as a snake, but also a lecher...

"...Anyway, I will be the father and you will be the mother in the future. We will live in peace and raise the child well."

This sounds like a human word, Nangong Muyan thought.

"I promise you."

After the two of them made their words clear, when they returned to the living room, the parents of both parties had already discussed the wedding date and were discussing the time for the engagement.

Seeing Nangong Muyan and Zhou Yi walking in side by side, four pairs of eyes looked over with concern. Of course, they mainly looked at Zhou Yi, after all, his resistance just now was too obvious.

"We have already agreed," Nangong Muyan saw through everyone's thoughts, "We will get married."

Nangong Ya and Luo Siyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Hong Yuanping and Zhou Zhili looked at their sons, then at Nangong Muyan standing beside them. Even if they wanted to say something, the timing was not right, so they could only swallow it.

"Then the two relatives, Zhou Yi, please stay at the mansion and have a simple meal later. Getting married is not a trivial matter. We are all arranging the wedding of our children for the first time, so we need to communicate more to avoid any omissions."

Luo Siyi suggested with a smile, and the Zhou family naturally had no objection.

"Prime Minister Nangong, Prime Minister Nangong!"

A sharp voice came from outside the hall, followed by hurried footsteps. When they looked, Lao Zhong led a pale-faced, beardless man wearing eunuch clothes and holding a whisk.

"Eunuch Liu!"

Nangong Ya looked at the eunuch who was close to the emperor, and immediately came up to him and asked, "What happened?"

Eunuch Liu was stunned by the number of people in the room, and avoided answering. He just said anxiously, "My lord, please follow us into the palace!"

"Okay!" Nangong Ya agreed, and turned around and said to Luo Siyi, "Siyi, please entertain us."

"Well, go ahead." Luo Siyi nodded.

Nangong Ya bowed to Zhou's father and mother with an apologetic look on his face, and quickly left with Eunuch Liu.

Nangong Muyan looked at Nangong Ya's back as he left, and always felt that something big was going to happen. It was not until five days later, when the bells rang in the imperial city, and she, as a family member of an important official, entered the palace in mourning and knelt in front of the Taiji Hall, that she realized that her premonition was right.

At that time, Jiang Ning was still bending over on the hillside of Fuling Temple to water the seedlings.

Two men wearing gauze hats and official uniforms rode horses galloping over. Jiang Ning saw from a distance that they tied their horses at the foot of the mountain, and walked towards Fuling Temple without stopping for a moment.

After a moment, the two figures appeared again, and the sound of bells began to be heard from the mountains, one after another, very regular, like an eternal chant.

The two men got on their horses and went away. Jiang Ning stood in the vegetable field and suddenly remembered some of the contents in the pile of idle books she had read:

"Whenever there is a national mourning, all temples, monasteries, nunneries, and courtyards within a hundred miles of the capital must ring 30,000 bells..."

"The people of the imperial city must wear plain clothes for a hundred days, and they are not allowed to play music or get married..."

"If there are matters such as sacrifices, court greetings, and imperial examinations, they will be suspended for one month..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning hurriedly carried the empty bucket up the mountain.

The imperial examination was suspended, and she wanted to go back to find Liu Mingan.

The drum beats seemed to hit people's hearts. Jiang Ning looked at the startled birds in the woods and felt that she saw "a storm is coming".
