Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Chapter 273

How can the world be safe if the family is not in harmony

After hearing Nangong Sunu's strategy, Nangong Jingnv felt a sense of rejection in her heart.

It is true that the eldest sister's scheme can indeed solve the problem, but it reveals the ruthlessness of the superior, Nangong Jingnu is very clear: she can't treat Agula like this.

In Nangong Jingnv's heart, she and Agula are equal, but...

Today, there is a problem with their perspective, and...the people that Qi Yan trusts, she doesn't trust.

The disappearance of the Marquis of Bei'an gave the court a huge advantage in the public opinion of the confrontation between the North and the South. If it was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous, even far greater than the harm to the court from Sifang Bank and Luobei.

It is also clearly written in the handbook left by his father: the reason why he was able to ascend to the throne was simply because of the word "people's heart". Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. With the prestige and popular support accumulated by the prime minister for more than ten years, the family can reach the sky in one step...

Out of respect for her elder sister, Nangong Jingnv did not reject Nangong Sunv's proposal on the spot, but she had already made a plan in her heart: she would rather not agree to Qi Yan from the beginning, and never use such a method of obedience and transgression to deceive her she.

The two sisters chatted for a while, and Nangong Sunu talked a lot about the Pearl Palace, which made Nangong Jingnu miss Qi Yuxiao a little...

Ever since he had a problem with Qi Yan, he seldom went to the Pearl Palace, and to avoid embarrassment, he also avoided Qi Yuxiao's greetings twice a day.

Nangong Sunu was sent away, and Nangong Jingnu came to the Pearl Palace.

The servant informed: Qi Yuxiao was practicing calligraphy in the study, so Nangong Jingnv ignored the servant's libretto and walked to Qi Yuxiao's study alone.

The door opened, and Qi Yuxiao was writing something on the desk with a brush, but he didn't raise his head when he heard the voice: "What's the matter?"

Nangong Jingnv found clues from Qi Yuxiao's reaction. According to the inner court regulations: the master's study and bedroom are two forbidden places, and any palace servants have to tell them to enter, but judging from Qi Yuxiao's reaction... ...It is clear that she is used to outsiders' "pushing in through the door". Nangong Jingnv speculates that the palace people in the Pearl Palace do not seem to be so disciplined...

This has absolutely nothing to do with the age of the master. I think that I moved to the Weiming Palace early in the past, but there was such a thing in my memory. In the end, it was just those servants who thought that Princess Yanyang was surnamed Qi, and she His father was abandoned by the empress, and his life and death were unknown, so he began to deceive the lord.

Nangong Jingnv squinted her eyes: I never thought of denying this daughter.

Seeing that the visitor was silent, Qi Yuxiao raised his head after finishing the last stroke of the word, and saw that it was actually his mother standing at the door, put down the brush, went out of the desk and knelt on the ground: "My son, please see the mother." .”

Nangong Jingnv was a little surprised. The former Yu Xiao could hardly kneel down when she saw her. Although she sometimes showed fear, she only dodged instead of bowing down.

Nangong Jingnu: "Get up."

Qi Yuxiao: "Thank you, Queen Mother." After getting up, he hung his head and shoulders beside the desk, with a well-behaved appearance.

Although Nangong Jingnv felt that this was a sign of Qi Yuxiao's progress, she felt a sense of loss in her heart. When she was Qi Yuxiao's age... she never showed respect to her father when she saw her father. After driving away, he came galloping, threw himself into his father's arms, and occasionally pulled his father's beard.

Nangong Jingnv found the best teacher for Qi Yuxiao, asked her to study with children from aristocratic families to accompany her, and trained Yu Xiao completely according to the prince's standards. She hoped that when she grows up, she can become a unique Wang Zuozhi. Instead of instilling those "monarchs and ministers" ideas into such a young child early.

Nangong Jingnv came to Qi Yuxiao's desk, looked down and was in a daze...

Although Qi Yuxiao's handwriting is still immature, Qi Yan's strength of character can already be seen from the strokes... And this article?

The title is impressively: On the exchange of banknotes for salt quotations, the argument is very mature and it is not something a child of this age can write. Nangong Jingnv immediately became suspicious. Could it be that some people want to use Qi Yuxiao's hand to convey something?

How dangerous is the government affairs?Qi Yuxiao is not yet old enough to participate in politics, if this article gets out, it will cause trouble for her, and I will never allow such a thing to happen!

Nangong Jingnv picked up what Qi Yuxiao wrote: "Who taught you this? The master in the study?"

Qi Yuxiao shook his head, stared at his toes without saying a word.

Nangong Jingnv became even more angry, and directly tore up the article in her hand: "Go and close the door!"

Qi Yuxiao: "Yes..."

Nangong Jingnv sat at the main seat and looked at Qi Yuxiao: "What did the master teach?"

Qi Yuxiao: "'Three Hundred Thousand' "The Analects", "Disciple Regulations", "Filial Piety", "Book of Rites", I have finished explaining yesterday, the master said: I will test the interpretation of "Book of Rites" tomorrow, let myself Pick one."

Nangong Jingnv was silent again, looking at the little person in front of her, she sighed for a while.

The book "Book of Rites"... was taught by Qi Yan back then, with a total of 49 chapters. Qi Yan first forced himself to recite the whole text without knowing the meaning, and then explained and explained each one to himself after he had memorized it thoroughly.

Looking back... it was only seven or eight years ago, but he was much older than Qi Yuxiao.

Nangong Jingnu: "Which one are you going to choose?"

Qi Yuxiao: "No.30 article."

Nangong Jingnv raised her eyebrows: "The Doctrine of the Mean?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Qi Yuxiao's eyes. She deliberately said "No. 30" instead of "The Doctrine of the Mean" because she had the intention of making things difficult for Nangong Jingnv, but she didn't expect the other party to blurt it out.

Qi Yuxiao was a little frustrated and said "Yes."

Nangong Jingnu: "This one is relatively deep in "Book of Rites", why did you choose this one?"

Qi Yuxiao bit his lip, the resentment in his heart surged uncontrollably, and he replied bravely: "What's wrong with the mean? In my son's opinion, the mean is the key to life. If you want to survive in this world, you can't live without it." No way!"

Nangong Jingnv was stunned, and instantly understood what Qi Yuxiao said: She is a princess, who can hurt her?Isn't this talking about yourself as an empress?

Nangong Jingnv originally wanted to be gentle, so she tried Yu Xiao's knowledge first and then led her to understand: the danger of this article, seeing Qi Yuxiao's thorny allusion to herself, she no longer has the heart, Nangong Jingnv Angry and laughing: "Oh? Do you think someone in the inner court will harm you?"

After Qi Yuxiao finished speaking, he also regretted a little, the mother emperor finally had time to visit him, how could he say such unfilial words?

However, Qi Yuxiao's eyes turned red when he thought of his father.

Qi Yuxiao: "I just feel that if you have the 'three virtues' in your heart, you will be cautious in your words and deeds. If you don't stand out in everything, you won't be jealous. Even if you don't stand out among thousands of people, you won't lose your life!"

Nangong Jingnv: "Presumptuous! Is this the knowledge you learned? So good knowledge that you screw it up like this, and use it to hurt people?"

With a "plop", Qi Yuxiao knelt on the ground, but looked up at Nangong Jingnv with red eyes, and said angrily: "Is what my son said wrong? If my father understands the meaning of the word 'moderate', how can he suffer?" To this end?"

All the harsh words were choked in her throat. Nangong Jingnv stared blankly at Qi Yuxiao who was kneeling in front of her, seeing her eyes full of forbearance and tears, and felt belatedly: What she did to Qi Yan What he did not only hurt Qi Yan, himself, but also the child's heart.

It wasn't until this was Nangong Jingnv that she realized later: No wonder I felt that the article I tore up just now looked familiar. Is this the test paper that Qi Yan would take back then?It turns out that Yu Xiao just silently wrote Qi Yan's article...

Family country, family country, family country world... I have managed this small family and the world into a mess.

Nangong Jingnv had a hard time to describe, she could only sit in a chair and lose her mind for a while...

Seeing his mother like this, Qi Yuxiao regretted it too much, but it was more because of the backlog of grief from his father's "uncertain life and death", so he burst into tears.

Nangong Jingnv came back to her senses, she sighed and got up and squatted down in front of Qi Yuxiao, raised her hand and hugged Qi Yuxiao who had grown a lot into her arms: "Okay, don't cry."

Qi Yuxiao was very sad, grabbed the corner of Nangong Jingnv's wide sleeve, and cried bitterly: "Mother, has father not been found yet?"

Nangong Jingnv succumbed to Qi Yuxiao, and almost blurted out the truth for a moment, but swallowed the words back. Although doing so was cruel to the child, but...

After all, Yu Xiao is a child, even...somewhat like herself when she was a child, Qi Yan's forbearance and sophistication have not been learned by her at all, if she knows that Agula is still alive...tomorrow she will definitely become a happy bird Little sparrow, even if you don't mention it to anyone, someone who cares will see it.

Even if you are despicable, Qi Yuxiao's sadness... is the best shield to protect Qi Yan, children will not lie.

Nangong Jingnu: "Stop crying, I will definitely find you."

Nangong Jingnv picked up Qi Yuxiao and wiped her tears with a hand with difficulty: "It's getting heavier."

Qi Yuxiao groaned twice, trying to wipe away the tears, making Nangong Jingnv's heart ache again, although this child...is only Qi Yan's blood relative, but he watched her grow up, and he was destined to die in this life. With no descendants, Yu Xiao is his only child.

Nangong Jingnu: "I... just happen to have nothing to do, so how about spending half a day with Yu Xiao?"

Qi Yuxiao sucked his nose and actively wrapped his arms around Nangong Jingnv's neck, resting his head on Nangong Jingnv's shoulder: "Well, I don't study, I don't test knowledge."

Nangong Jingnv couldn't help laughing, this child... really looks like herself.

Nangong Jingnu: "What does Yu Xiao want to do?"

Qi Yuxiao: "Ride a horse."

Nangong Jingnu: "Okay."

……

On the way to the ranch, the mother and daughter took a carriage together. Seeing Qi Yuxiao hesitate to speak for a few times, Nangong Jingnv asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Qi Yuxiao lowered his head, put a pair of small hands on his lap, mingled together: "Emperor Mother, I have a question..."

Nangong Jingnu: "Speak."

Qi Yuxiao: "Is father really the prince of the grassland?"

Nangong Jingnu: "...Yes, your surname should be 'Qiyan'."

Qi Yuxiao: "Where is the minister... considered a 'little bastard'?"

Nangong Jingnu frowned: "Who said that?"

Qi Yuxiao shook his head first, but couldn't bear Nangong Jingnv's questioning several times, and finally revealed the truth: "Marquis Zhonglie."

At that time, the second son of the Zhen Guogong's mansion: Taiwei Lu Zhongxing, died in the line of duty to support the empress's ascension to the throne. After Nangong Jingnv ascended the throne, she secretly sealed Lu Zhong as the hereditary replacement of the loyal marquis, and built a small temple next to the Taimiao to enshrine the meritorious officials. Today This Marquis Zhonglie was Lu Zhongxing's son, a little older than Qi Yuxiao, and was born to Lu Zhongxing and his concubine in the outer house.After Lu Zhongxing's death, Nangong Jingnv made an exception and gave this child the identity, and adopted her under the knee of Zhuohua Princess Nangong Shunv. Counting it... Qi Yuxiao still called Zhongliehou "cousin."

Nangong Jingnu: "Who else said that?"

Qi Yuxiao: "No, Zuo is just those few people who are friends with Marquis Zhonglie, but they don't dare to say it in front of my son, so I can't hear me talking behind my back."

Without waiting for Nangong Jingnv to speak, Qi Yuxiao took the initiative to say: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to be the master of the sons and ministers, and they can talk freely. Every time I knock their heads full with an inkstone!"

Nangong Jingnv beckoned, Qi Yuxiao sat next to Nangong Jingnv, Nangong Jingnv embraced Qi Yuxiao's shoulders, and asked softly: "As a child of an aristocratic family, it is rude to speak hurtful words. You don't have to worry, I have a way to punish them, and I won't implicate Yu Xiao."

Qi Yuxiao shook his head resolutely: "Actually, my son told my father about these things."

Nangong Jingnu asked unexpectedly: "What did she say?"

Qi Yuxiao's eyes darkened, and he replied: "Father said...the only ones who can go to the study room with the sons and ministers are the children of the Humeru family of the imperial court. To support, I want my son to show his courage and set an example, not to sue, and embarrass the mother. The father also mentioned Zhongliehou in particular, and the father said... Zhongliehou's father died for the country, and the child without his father's protection will inevitably be perverse Some, it is only because of lack of protection that they are forced to live like a bully, not to be bullied..."

After a pause, Qi Yuxiao continued: "So... If I hadn't made my minister anxious, I would not normally beat Zhongliehou with the inkstone, but would beat his followers instead."

Nangong Jingnv was filled with emotions. If calculated carefully, Marquis Zhonglie and Qi Yuxiao could be regarded as blood feuds...

After all, Lord Zhen Lu Quan was one of the culprits who destroyed the grassland back then, but he didn't expect Qi Yan to teach Yu Xiao like this...

Recalling her defense against Qi Yan today, Nangong Jingnv tortured herself again: Did she take Qi Yan too lightly, so she doubted it?
