At the banquet, the women in the palace were drinking sweet plum wine and full of delicacies. They talked and laughed at each other from time to time.

And the center of all the women's dependents is nangongyue.

Already more than a stick of incense, Mei's aunt standing on one side wriggled with embarrassment.

Other aunts could not help but look at her. Aunt Mei was sent in by Madame Qiao. Although she was serving her wife, her real intention was known to everyone.

In those days, when Madame was not banned, they had to set a rule of five hours a day. Now it's just a stick of incense. They don't believe that she can't stand. Hum, she just wants to be spoiled.

Aunt Mei adjusted her standing posture, supported her forehead, and shook her weak body as if she were going to fall at any time.

Once, twice, three times There were many girls on the table, who also saw it, exchanged a look in the dark, and they were all silent.

The banquet continued to be bustling on. Half an hour later, the maids took down the dishes on the table and offered hot tea to the owners.

Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and sipped it gently. Then he turned his head to Wei, who was sitting on her left hand side, and said, "Wei side imperial concubine, her mother has been lingering on the bed recently, so that the new aunt has been out of line and is really out of line! Wei side imperial concubine, can only annoy you hard, let that new aunt go to your yard every day to set up the rule of two hours. "

On hearing this, Aunt Mei's face showed a trace of disbelief. She blurted out: "princess, I'm the king..."

"Bold." Magpie's son scolded lightly, "in front of the prince's concubine, my aunt should call herself 'maid'. According to the rules of the palace, my aunt will go to get the five handkerchief for a while."

Aunt Mei bit her lower lip and seemed unconvinced. Even her eyes were dim, and she looked pitiful.

Nangong Yue said in a slow and slow way: " I'd like to trouble you, Wei side imperial concubine, to appoint a nursing mother. "

Wei had already seen Aunt Mei's unruly and frivolous manner, but she had always kept a low profile, so she did not open her mouth to reprimand. Since Princess Shizi proposed it, she immediately bowed over and said, "what the princess said is that I must teach Aunt Mei the rules well, so as not to lose the face of the palace."

Nangong Yue nodded and said with a smile: "the taste of the tea duck is good today. But the new cook is in the palace?"

Wei side imperial concubine smiles and caters to the way: "the son imperial concubine you say to be right..."

No one paid attention to a mere aunt.

At this scene, everyone saw this scene and couldn't help but murmured: the imperial concubine is worthy of being a concubine. Even the new aunt who has been very popular recently does not give a little face.

The banquet ended peacefully.

When he came back to the yard, Nangong Yue didn't want to move at all, and soon fell asleep.

When Baihui and thrushi came on duty early in the morning, Nangong Yue didn't wake up. As soon as an Niang saw them, she immediately pulled them aside and asked in a low voice, "how are you?" An Niang has always been concerned about this matter. However, as soon as she came back yesterday, the two maids were sent away by the princess. It was not convenient for her to directly ask the princess

Just three words, no head, but Baihui but understand, one side of the thrush also understand, the surface of a Feixia.

Baihui looks as usual and nods.

As soon as she nodded her head, an Niang's heart hung in the air was put down. She worshipped with her hands together. She muttered, "you should protect the princess from getting pregnant with her grandchildren as soon as possible."

Since the big marriage between shiziye and shizifei, an Niang has been carrying on her heart: at first, she was afraid that she was young and impulsive and couldn't control herself. She was still young, and it was not good for her to settle down too early. I didn't expect that shiziye had a heart and waited patiently for more than two years When the imperial concubine finally got to the hairpin, the prince went out to fight again, and the matter of the round house had to be put aside first.

This time, it's done!

Now, when the imperial concubine gives birth to lin'er, he can be completely relieved It's wrong for sun Shi to take care of himself!

An Niang looked at Baihui and thrush, their eyebrows frowned. These servant girls are still too young. How to know how to take care of the baby still depends on themselves!

Seeing that an Niang's face changed and changed between the fingers, and finally left with ambition, Baihui and thrushi could not help but look at each other, and then laughed.

I don't know what happened.

Nangong Yue, who was still sleeping, didn't know about it. She had been sleeping until the sun went up.

After several days of driving, riding horses and fighting with Baiyue people, Nangong Yue was tired physically and mentally, and his muscles were sore. He didn't feel much when he just came back yesterday. However, after sleeping all night, his body aches like wild weeds, which made her not want to move.

After struggling in the quilt, Nangong Yue slowly rang the small copper bell beside the bed.

When the door opened, the maids who had been waiting outside swarmed in to wait on her to get up and wash.In a hurry to eat too early, Nangong Yue asked magpie son to get the name list of the servants of the palace, and went to Tingyu pavilion with Baihui.

The servant girl ushered her to the east room. As soon as old master Fang saw her coming, he quickly put down the new seal stone in the book, waved to her and said, "ah Yue, come here and sit down."

Although the winter days in southern Xinjiang are better than those in Wangdu, old master Fang is old and weak after all. A basin of charcoal fire has been set up in the room, which is warm.

Nangong Yue asked Ann with a smile.

Old master Fang looked up and down at Nangong Yue, and his wrinkled face squeezed out lines of smile, which made his eyes narrowed. "Ah Yue, you are tired and thin. Next, you can take good care of yourself. I'll go back and have a good rest for a while. I can't finish the chores in the palace. Don't be tired of yourself... "

The old man's heart warmed Nangong Yue. In this palace, perhaps only old master Fang could make her feel this kind of elder's love for his younger generation.

"Thank you for your concern. I know that." He sat down beside the old master.

Nangong Yue had just invited An'an yesterday, so he was driven back to have a rest by the master Fang Tai. He didn't talk to him about yandingcheng. However, knowing that old master Fang must have been very worried about him, she began to smile and say, "grandfather, can you know about the victory of Yi?"

"Know, know!"

Speaking of this, old master Fang was more happy.

Before Nangong Yue left, he told Zhu Xing to report every good report to old master Fang immediately. Therefore, although he did not leave home, he was very clear about the victory of yandingcheng. He had to read every good report several times.

"Grandfather, you don't know how to fight!" Nangong Yue's eyes, like bright stars, said, "ah Yi, he's so powerful..."

She talked about the battle of yandingcheng vividly. She talked about how Xiao Yi pretended to lead 20000 troops to Yongjia city. She talked about how Nanliang army came under the city, but ran away in confusion. Instead, she was ambushed. Finally, the 10000 troops led by Xiao Yi waited for work and almost all of them were killed!

In order to make old master Fang happy, Nangong Yue deliberately picked up some parts of Xiao Yi and said in detail how brave Xiao Yi was, how skillful he was in fighting, how energetic he was It was as if she had witnessed the scene on the battlefield. In fact, even if she had not witnessed it, Xiao Yi showed it to her for several times.

Old master Fang's eyes were beaming, and the whole man seemed to be several years younger.

"Well done! Well done Although old master Fang was old, he was still bloody. He patted his hand on the table and said, "we should kill all these Nanliang people who have killed so many people in southern Xinjiang!"

Looking at the old man's happy appearance, Nangong Yue's mouth is also higher and higher, and his face is filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart.

Old master Fang asked her a lot about yandingcheng, and Nangong Yue answered them in detail one by one.

Naturally, it is good news but not bad news. He only talked about Xiao Yi's bravery, but he didn't mention the big and small, shocking old and new scars on his body.

Old master Fang was addicted to listening to it. His face was smiling and wrinkled. He said with pride: "good, good! If his mother and concubine knew that Yi was so capable now, she would be very happy Mr. Fang's face darkened at the mention of his early death.

Nangong Yue said along: "I'll go to my mother's concubine and tell her the good news." The mother concubine is the one who gave birth to Yi. Although they can no longer be filial to her, it is proper to offer incense and report peace to her.

Old master Fang nodded with relief, and asked, "is Yi going to Yongjia city now?"

Nangong Yue nodded with a smile. He did not dare to mention that Xiao Yizheng led his troops to venture into Nanliang. He only said, "now our army is in the ascendant. Even if yikaluo can't get out of Licheng, as long as there is no food and grass to keep up with him, sooner or later he will not be able to survive. When the battle is over, Yi will be back. It will be only a month or two at most. "

Old master Fang was smiling. His grandson is coming back. Maybe he will have a great grandson soon. This day is really better.

God let him lose his wife and daughter in his early years. After suffering for so many years, he finally did not treat him badly in his later years!

Nangong Yue continued to say: "I'm sorry In a few days, I will give a small gift to the Zhou family, so I will come back first. " "Here she is Grandfather, I got a piece of ore on my way back... "

She took a look at Baihui, and the latter took out a thing wrapped up with a green veil and handed it to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue unfolded the veil, exposed the gray ore, and sent it to Mr. Fang: "would you please help me palm my eyes..."

Before Nangong Yue finished his words, old master Fang looked at the ore and said, "this Is it salt mine? " With that, he took the ore in his hand and examined it. He picked out some stone chips with his fingernails, put them on the tip of his tongue, and then firmly nodded, "this is indeed a salt mine."Salt mine!?

Nangong Yue suddenly realized.

Even in Dayu, salt was strictly controlled by the imperial court, and salt tax was one of the main sources of tax revenue for the Ministry of household. Smuggling salt is a crime of death, but is it profitable or is it a constant stream that some people are willing to take risks in order to make a country rich and invincible.

So is Dayu, not to mention Baiyue, which is located inland.

Baiyue does not rely on the sea on all sides. Even if there are lake salt, well salt and mineral salt, they are not inexhaustible. They are short of salt, and the benefits of a salt mine are incalculable.

It is no wonder that they have to take such a big risk to seize the salt mine of the Fang family. They have been mining in the name of the Fang family for more than ten years. Even now, they are not willing to give up.

Old master Fang keenly felt that Nangong Yue's mood was not right and asked, "ah Yue, what's wrong with this ore Is someone holding the ore to cover you? "

Nangong Yue hesitated for a moment and asked, "grandfather, do you still remember that the fangs have a mine on siglaishan?"

Siegley hill?

Old master Fang's eyebrows moved and stroked his beard thoughtfully I remember that more than a decade ago, it seemed that someone had come back and said that a vein had been found in the siglaishan area. I remember that I asked the manager Wu, who was in charge of the mine at that time, to hire some long-term workers to dig there to see whether it was a poor ore or a rich one. "

There are many Fangjia mines. If it is only a poor mine, old master Fang will not pay attention to it, and it is not worth spending manpower and material resources to mine.

After that, in the impression of old master Fang, he never got a reply from siglaishan. It seems that the mine is too poor to mention. Old master Fang didn't care much. For Mr. Fang, who owns most of the mines in southern Xinjiang, it's good to remember a name.

What's more, it happened more than ten years ago.

Thinking of the ore that nangongyue just took out, old master Fang seemed to understand something and asked, "ah Yue, is this ore from siglaishan?"

Nangong Yue nodded.

"It's a salt mine!" Mr. Fang was very surprised.

Salt mines are rare and can bring even more value than iron ore.

But if the salt mine had been mined in siglaishan, why did he have no idea?

No, he didn't know. Why did Nangong Yue notice this mine more than ten years later Old master Fang did not dare to go down.

Nangong Yue knew that old master Fang's suspicions would inevitably be attracted. But if she wanted to follow siglaishan down, there was no doubt that she would get the support of old master Fang. At least siglaishan was in the name of the Fang family, and maybe there was an account book in earlier years. Old master Fang is the owner of the Fang family. If you want to read this account book, you can't hide something from him.

Nangong Yue looked at the old master Fang without any taboo and said: "I'm afraid My grandfather, now the salt mine of siglaishan is in the hands of Baiyue, and the salt mine of siglaishan is in the hands of Baiyue. I don't know exactly how it is She only said about Baiyue and concealed that it might be related to the death of the former Princess and the old prince.

Old master Fang is also a person who has experienced the wind and rain. He calmed down after hearing the speech, nodded slightly and said, "if you want to find out what you want to ask, you can talk to my grandfather."

"That's natural." Nangong Yue answered with a smile, and then climbed up the pole. "Speaking of it, there is really a place for you to help. When I came back this time, I got 250 stone iron ore, and I want to ask my grandfather to make a batch of iron arrows. "

Old master Fang was old, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble to his grandson. Now, Nangong Yue said that he wanted to trouble him, but he was very excited. Especially, the iron arrow was still needed by his grandson in the battlefield. Without saying a word, he immediately agreed.

Nangongyue pretended to exaggerate about how he cheated these iron ores from Baiyue people, which made old master Fang laugh. His anxiety just caused by siglaishan also disappeared with the laughter.

Accompanied by old master Fang, he took lunch together. Nangong Yue asked him to have a peaceful pulse and opened a dose of tranquilizing soup. After watching him use it, he left Tingyu Pavilion.

When she got back to the yard, magpie had put the register on the desk in her small study.

The roster records the basic information of every servant in the palace: whether he was born or bought, his name, age, where he was on duty, and so on. The establishment of Zhennan Wangfu is only 20 years old. Even if the family has the largest number of children, it will reproduce to the third generation. From time to time, the palace will buy some servants to come in.

These records are too simple.

In particular, there is no record of the parents of the children who used to work in their posts.

Nangong Yue looked at the register casually and asked, "magpie, who are the women you talked about yesterday about Aunt Mei?"

Magpie son two steps forward, said: "excuse me for your impoliteness."

She turned over a few pages and pointed out a few names. They were the first group of servants in the palace. In addition to their names and monthly money, the roster only recorded the date and price of their purchase and where they were currently on duty.Nangong Yue closed the register and said, "I'm telling you that from today on, all the servants of the palace will be collected and the register will be re registered Specifically, just as we did in the palace of the capital. " After a pause, she added, "not only servants, but also aunts."

"Yes, princess."

Magpie bowed down with the register on her knees.

Nangong Yue could only comfort himself not to be anxious. Since someone had done it in those years, there must be traces to find! She has enough time to check it out!

Nangongyue's order was quickly passed down. Although people were talking about it, they didn't dare to have any objection. However, those aunts were more responsive, and those who had been out of favor had already fallen out of favor. Those who were in favor complained to Zhennan king that they had been despised and asked Zhennan king to make decisions for themselves.

For this reason, the king of Zhennan called Nangong Yue in the past and asked about one or two.

"Father Wang, whether it is yandingcheng or Luoyue City, we have found the spies planted in Nanliang." Nangong Yue said without looking askance, "my daughter-in-law thinks that we should not be careless. If Nanliang people sneak into our palace, it is a big problem. It's better to check it first than to worry about it all the time. "

The words were reasonable and reasonable. When Zhennan Wang thought that there might be some spies from Nanliang people in his palace, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He made a decision and asked nangongyue to make a good investigation.

With the words of Zhennan king, things would be easier to handle. Nangong Yue gave the full power to Que'er and thrushu. After a rest, he looked over the invitation cards from various government offices, and refused all of them on the ground that he was tired and needed rest. When he failed to get close to Nangong Yue, the government was disappointed and immediately said that they did not dare to disturb the rest of the imperial concubine. Instead, they sent rich gifts to meet the wind.

In just two days, a new warehouse was full.

Baihui, who was registered in the gift list, raised her mouth. She still remembers that when the imperial concubine first came to southern Xinjiang, these residences were still watching. After only a few months, she had completely changed her attitude. She could be regarded as having a firm foothold.

After resting for two days, Nangong Yue takes over the counter card sent back by Xiao Fei and takes over the Zhongfu of Zhennan palace again.

On the fifth day of December, Zhou Dacheng came back three days ahead of schedule with two hundred iron ores. On that day, these iron ores were sent to Fang's smelter for work day and night.

On the sixth day of December, Xiao Hui flew into Bixiao hall and brought back a good report --

Xiao Yi led his troops to rush into Nanliang from the poisonous black swamp, and captured five cities at one stroke, and forced Nanliang capital.

There was only such a simple sentence in the newspaper, but Nangong Yue read it again and again in his mouth, and his face was filled with joy.

Calculate the time, just and Xiao Yi separated for ten days, her heart is always missing him.

Nangong Yue's lips were full of smile. After a long time, he threw the good report into the fire pot

"Princess, here comes Miss Han."

At this time, the voice of Baihui came from the door, accompanied by Nangong Yue's saying, "let sister Xia come in quickly". Han Qixia hurried in. She was dressed in ordinary blue cloth, and her face was filled with anxiety. As soon as she met, she said, "yue'er, I seem to be recognized..."

Nangong Yue was surprised and asked, "who is it?"

"Yes..." Han Qixia took a deep breath, a drum for the airway, "is the saint of Baiyue, put clothes."
