  Chapter 1275 [V138] Dreaming back to the previous life

  At nightfall, the island owner held a reception banquet for everyone. The banquet location was in the forest, surrounded by mountains, facing the sea, and the scenery was excellent.

  Worried that Ning Yue would have an unpleasant reaction at the banquet, Dongmei specially asked Zhener to sew a mint and orange peel sachet for Ning Yue.

   "It's well embroidered." Ning Yue looked at the lifelike peony on the sachet and praised it.

  Dongmei smiled and said: "Zhen'er embroidered, but the servants don't have this skill. Come, change into a skirt."

   "The belly seems to be getting bigger, this one is tight." Ning Yue's skirt couldn't be pulled up.

"The stomach seems to be growing fast these days. I have to solve the problem here quickly, or I will show my pregnancy." Dongmei helped Ning Yue take off her skirt, took out scissors and needle thread, and stretched her waist place an inch.

"Let's show the pregnancy, let's say it was conceived in April." Ning Yue said indifferently. Even so, she also understands that it is best to avoid unnecessary troubles, so it is better to hide it. It's safer, with a glance in his eyes, "Where's Zhen'er?"

   "My uncle's middle coat was torn during the washing process. She embroidered well, and the servant asked her to sew it up and sent it to my uncle." Dongmei bit off the end of the thread, "Miss, try again."

  …

   Zhen'er took the sewn clothes and went to the courtyard next door. The servants recognized her as Ning Yue's and let her in. She knocked on the door: "My lord, your clothes."

"Come in."

   Zhen'er pushed the door and entered, and found that Princess Deqing was there, and hurriedly bowed: "Your servant knocks on the princess."

   "Pingshen." Princess Deqing glanced at the clothes in her hand, "Aren't you the maid of the princess?"

   Zhen'er was taken aback, not knowing how to answer.

   Xuan Yin smiled lightly and said: "There is no one around me who knows how to needle and thread, so I will trouble the princess of the county."

Princess Deqing recalled that the two lived so close to each other, but she was placed next to the Queen of Nanjiang, saying that she was given such an honor because she valued her, but she felt weird, as if she was being deliberately followed by the two of them. The feeling of being apart.

  Collecting her mind, she said: "There is no shortage of servants around this palace. Last time, the princess of the county gave me a maid. If there is a shortage of servants..."

   "No need, I have to find several opportunities to bother the princess, right?" Xuanyin said with a half-smile, anyway, he admitted Sikong Shuo's thoughts on Yueyue in front of Princess Deqing, so he wasn't afraid to sit down.

  Princess Deqing's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm here to inform you about the dinner, nothing else, I'm leaving first."

   "Princess walk slowly."

  After Princess Deqing left, Zhen'er went to Xuanyin's side: "My lord, where do you put your clothes?"

   "On the bed."

   "Yes." Zhen'er put away her clothes, "My lord, will my servant wait for you to change?"

   "No, you step back."

   Zhen'er was startled again, but she didn't dare to refute, Fushen said: "Yes, this servant will leave."

   Xuanyin unbuttoned the buttons one by one.

   Zhen'er turned her head, glanced at it, and thought to herself: With such a noble status, why do you still do these trivial things by yourself? Even if she is not wanted, Xiao Lizi or those court ladies should do it for her!

   Zhen'er reported back to Ning Yue, including meeting Princess Deqing.

Ning Yue didn't say anything, she straightened Zhuhua in front of the mirror, but Dongmei who was beside her said displeasedly, "What is Princess Deqing thinking? I'm going to find my aunt again... Cough, Mr. Zhongchang, she really likes someone Eunuch?"

   "It's all about relying on it." Ning Yue no longer cared about Princess Deqing's petty thoughts, "As long as she doesn't cause trouble, don't care how clingy she is to Sikong Shuo."

  Yes, it is Sikong Shuo who is sticky, not Xuanyin. When Xuanyin and Sikong Shuo return to their respective seats, she may be happy to find such a small oil bottle for Sikong Shuo.

  After finishing dressing, Ning Yue took Dongmei and Zhen'er to the banquet location.

  The banquet was held in the open air, with coconut lamps hanging around, looking from a distance, like rounds of small bright moons; everyone sat on the ground, with a long small square table in front of them, and a huge bonfire was set off in the open space in front of them. Flame stuck out his dragon tongue excitedly, and danced with the handsome men and beauties of Spirit Snake Island.

Along the way, Ning Yue met many girls from Spirit Snake Island, and found that they were dressed very lightly, with sleeveless blouses, slender arms exposed, and no complicated hair buns, either loose or tied up. Two simple braids.

   "Miss, they are so strangely dressed!" Dongmei couldn't help but said with a smile.

   "In their eyes, I'm afraid we are dressed strangely." Ning Yue shook her head amusedly, and met several residents on the island.

   Concubine Liu Gui entered the table early, and when she saw Ning Yue, she hurriedly waved.

  Ning Yue sat down next to her: "Your Majesty is in a good mood."

"What's the interest, I can't sit still in the room, I can't sit still!" Concubine Liu Gui picked up the teacup, but the maid brought a coconut with a bamboo tube, Concubine Liu Gui waved her hand, "I can't get used to this. "

  The maid looked at Ning Yue again.

  Ning Yue smiled: "Give it to me."

  The maid gave the coconut to Ning Yue.

  Ning Yue took a sip, the taste was light and sweet, with a faint sour taste: "It's a bit like sugar cane, but not so sweet."

   "Coconut candy is sweet." The maid took out a small plate of black candy from the tray.

  Ning Yue ate a piece of it. Coconut and milk were smelted together. It was very hard at first, but after slowly melting, there was a rich coconut and milk fragrance, sweet but not greasy: "It's delicious!"

  The maid and her companions were amused by Ning Yue's foodie appearance, and they covered their faces and smiled.

   Concubine Liu Gui sighed: "How can you still eat? I am almost dying of worry."

  Ning Yue finished eating the candy in his mouth, still not satisfied, and picked up another piece: "Is your mother still worried about Geng's fifth child?"

   "I have a lot to worry about."

  The fifth son of the Geng family, the empress of Nanjiang, Concubine Yan Hui, the third prince, and those other princes who watched King Xuan fight with others, who is not the thorn in her eyes?

"Your Majesty, there is a saying that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Instead of worrying so much, you should think about how to get along with His Majesty. You will have more chances to get close to His Majesty, and you will have more chances to blow pillows for King Xuan." It's meaningless to fight back and forth, unless you want to force the palace to rebel, otherwise who will inherit the great rule is not an imperial decree of the king of Southern Xinjiang? She fought with the Geng family not to fight for the position of empress for Xuanyin and herself, it was just that there were too many personal grievances between each other. Of course, she would not tell Concubine Liu Gui these things.

Concubine Liu Gui said distressedly: "You don't want to be close to Your Majesty when you are in this palace? But I don't know what's wrong. Ever since I left Shengjing, His Majesty has ignored me. How long has it been? Bengong, tell me, did I do something wrong to make His Majesty unhappy?"

   It's not that you have done something wrong to offend His Majesty, but that His Majesty has the opportunity to approach Xuanyin openly, so naturally there is no need for you to be the mouthpiece in the middle.

  Ning Yue blinked, and said: "Your Majesty has always been cautious in her words and deeds, so she should not have angered Your Majesty."

   "What is that for?" Concubine Liu Gui frowned, "I know, it must be the queen! That woman has occupied His Majesty's favor for so many years and never let go!"

  Ning Yue put down the candy in her hand: "Has the queen been favored since entering the palace?"

   Concubine Liu Gui gave a sour hum.

   "Then isn't she pretty?"

Concubine Liu Gui thought thoughtfully: "A woman who can enter the palace is naturally not too bad in appearance, but if she is beautiful... she is not as attractive as Concubine Li Shun." She said, looking down at the third seat The pretty and charming Concubine Li Shun, although Concubine Li Shun has been ill, she was born with a beautiful appearance, "The beauty of the queen...is indescribable."

   At one time, she said she was not as beautiful as Concubine Li Shun, and at another time she said her beauty was indescribable. Is it good-looking or not?

   Ning Yue soon had an answer.

   "Your Majesty is coming—the Queen is coming—"

  Accompanied by Xiao Dezi's high-pitched and shrill voice, the King of Nanjiang walked over with the Queen of Nanjiang from a short distance away, and everyone stood up one after another, bowing their heads to greet them.

  Ning Yue secretly aimed at the Queen of Nanjiang.

  The night was deep and the sky was full of fire. She was dressed in a golden palace dress, like a phoenix bathing in fire, walking towards them step by step with elegant and steady steps.

  The light of the fire reflected on her young skin, and her eyelashes were slender.

  His pupils are like glass, shining with a shimmering luster, with a faint attraction, making people unable to turn their eyes away when looking at her.

   Concubine Liu Gui patted Ning Yue.

  Ning Yue returned to her senses and lowered her eyes.

  The Empress of Nanjiang walked past Ning Yue, her steps paused.

  Ning Yue felt a coercion pressing towards her, pressing down on her head like Mount Tai, making her almost unable to straighten up.

  The queen of Nanjiang didn't say anything, and walked away.

   "Sit down!" Nanjiang King said kindly.

   Concubine Liu Gui let out a long sigh of relief, and pulled Ning Yue to sit on the seat. The moment the queen stopped in front of her, she almost thought she was going to die.

   This woman...is really scary!

   "How is it? Is she pretty?" To cover up her embarrassment, Concubine Liu changed the topic.

  Ning Yue's aesthetics is obviously different from that of Concubine Liu Gui. Concubine Liu thinks that Concubine Li Shun's style of Jiangnan style is the most beautiful, but she thinks that the Empress of Nanjiang looks like a heavenly being. No wonder Huangfu Ying was born so outstanding. But the appearance of the queen of Nanjiang is even higher than that of her daughter. It's just that the Queen of Nanjiang's aura is too strong, ordinary people, who would dare to stare at her?

  The queen of Nanjiang sat down beside the king of Nanjiang, and after a while, the island owner and princes also joined the table.

  The island owner has three sons in total, one of them is Mr. Jun who had bumped into Ning Yue earlier. Mr. Jun's scalp was peeled off by Xuan Yin, probably to cover up the scars, and he wore a hat.

   When entering the table, he saw Ning Yue sitting next to Concubine Liu Gui, but was so stared at by Xuan Yin's vicious eyes that he didn't dare to move, and sat obediently in his seat.

   Probably because he knew what happened during the day was embarrassing, so he didn't tell others. If he was asked, he would only say that he accidentally scratched his scalp, so no one present knew that he had had a quarrel with Ning Yue.

  If he didn't say it, Ning Yue wouldn't say it either.

  The owner of the island is a thin man who is nearly fifty years old. He is sitting on the right hand side of the king of Nanjiang. Seeing how he is talking and laughing with the king of Nanjiang, he should be familiar with him. The king of Nanjiang glanced at Ning Yue, and whispered something to the island owner. The island owner's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ning Yue's stomach without hesitation.

  Ning Yue subconsciously covered her lower abdomen.

  The island owner smiled brightly. Obviously, he already knew about her pregnancy.

   "I heard that the owner of the island is the apprentice of Empress Chen." Concubine Liu Gui said with emotion.

  Ning Yue pricked up her ears.

   Concubine Liu Gui said with a half-sigh: "This Spirit Snake Island was not called Spirit Snake Island before, it was changed after Empress Chen bought it."

   "This island also belongs to Empress Chen?" Ning Yue asked in surprise.

   "What is it called? Does Empress Chen have other islands?" This time, it was Liu Guifei's turn to be surprised.

   Seeing that Concubine Liu Gui didn't know about Empress Chen's betting on an island in Shengjing, Ning Yue tactfully jumped over: "I heard that she has a shop in the capital, but I didn't expect there to be an island outside."

   Concubine Liu Gui was relieved, and said: "This island is the dowry of Empress Chen, and the owner of the island is an apprentice that Empress Chen accepted when she was young.

   No wonder the king of Nanjiang told the island owner about her pregnancy, Ganqing is not an outsider.

  However, the king of Nanjiang suddenly brought people to Spirit Snake Island, is it really just for fun?

   Before Ning Yue could figure out the answer, the Nanjiang Dynasty waved her over there.

  Ning Yue walked over.

  The king of Nanjiang introduced to the island owner: "This is the princess of Xiliang County."

  That expression clearly means that this is my grandson-in-law.

   Said to Ning Yue again: "Uncle Zhao."

  Ning Yue obediently called Uncle Zhao.

The owner of the island smiled happily, and said: "The princess of the county is a rare visitor. This is the first time I have come to Spirit Snake Island. Uncle Zhao has nothing to give, so I will give you a small gourd to play with." He took out a thumb from his arms The size of the golden gourd.

  The expressions of Mr. Jun and his two elder brothers changed instantly.

   Ning Yue is embarrassed to ask for it.

  Nanjiang King said: "Your Uncle Zhao asked you to accept it, so you accept it."

  Ning Yue accepted the golden gourd: "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

   "So good!" The island owner praised Ning Yue a few more words, and Ning Yue returned to her seat with the golden gourd in hand.

  The island owner looked at Xuanyin on the other side.

  Nanjiang King sighed: "That is a stubborn donkey, don't think about it, he won't come over."

  On the other side, Eleven Niang asked Princess Deqing: "Princess, there are many princes here today. Which one do you like? The three sons of the island owner's family are also very handsome."

  Xiaoqing squeezed Eleven Niang and shook her head.

   Eleven Niang stuck out her tongue.

   "I don't care how you choose the permanent attendant." Princess Deqing got up, saluted the Nanjiang King and Nanjiang Queen, and returned to her yard.

   "Why did the princess leave?" Dongmei asked in bewilderment, "Don't choose a consort?"

  Princess Deqing is not a complete fool, at least she is smarter than Guo Yu. On the surface, the king of Nanjiang pulled out the princes for her to choose, but at the same time pushed out the son of the island owner. Isn't that too obvious? It's normal for Princess Deqing to feel uncomfortable.

   "I have been busy choosing a son-in-law for Princess Deqing these days, but I have neglected the princess of the county. Fortunately, the noble concubine has done my best as a landlord for my palace and Your Majesty."

   It was the Empress of Nanjiang who spoke. Her voice was clear and light, like a mist covering a mountain stream, ethereal and ethereal.

   Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile: "It is the duty of a concubine to share the worries of the empress, and I dare not take credit for it."

   "The reward should still be rewarded, Your Majesty, what do you think?" The queen of Nanjiang smiled.

  Nanjiang King nodded: "What should the queen appreciate?"

  The Empress of Nanjiang said with a faint smile: "The concubine just got a set of East China Sea Night Pearls, so it would be a perfect gift for the noble concubine."

   Concubine Liu Gui bowed her body: "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."

  The queen of Nanjiang said again: "The noble concubine has always been considerate, your majesty has been in poor health recently, so at night, the noble concubine will come over to take care of you?"

  Is this asking her to serve His Majesty?

  Oh my god, do you want such a good thing?

  Concubine Liu Gui's eyelids twitched with excitement.

   Concubine Yan Hui and Concubine Zhang Li rolled their eyes a few times in amusement.

   Concubine Li Shun let out a long sigh of relief, she was afraid it would be her again!

  The banquet was getting better and better, and the scene became very lively.

   Concubine Liu's seat was moved from the seat next to His Majesty, and she chatted happily with His Majesty Yan Yan, and Ning Yue took the order.

  Geng Wu stood up, walked to the female guest table, and first toasted Concubine Li Shun.

   Concubine Li Shun took a sip, and the sixth prince over there came over and said, "I drank it for my concubine mother." She drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.

  Dongmei gossiped and said: "Miss, the sixth prince doesn't seem to be born to Concubine Li Shun, right? So filial."

"My mother is not as old as my adoptive mother. Besides, his biological mother is a court lady, so how can she be more noble than the empress of the palace? His only way out is Concubine Li Shun. Without Concubine Li Shun, those officials have no confidence to be loyal to him." Ning Yue said lightly. Then, he weighed the weight of the sixth prince in his heart. The sixth prince is neither close to the lineage of King Xuan nor the lineage of the Queen. He is relatively neutral. In terms of background, he is worse than King Xuan; in terms of connections, he is weaker than the fourth prince. Going to waste time on him.

  Dongmei said again: "Look, look, Concubine Shun's shoes fell off, and he knelt down to wear them! He is really filial!"

  Ning Yue said with a smile: "You have been paying attention to these all day long."

   "It's boring!" Dongmei laughed.

  Over there, Geng Wu finished respecting Concubine Li Shun, and came to Ning Yue's table with a wine glass: "Do you want to show me some face, ma'am?"

  He said one wife to another, as if deliberately reminding the two of their encounter on the street.

  Ning Yue is not suitable for drinking now, she smiled and said, "I don't drink with children, especially dishonest children."

Geng Wu showed a charming smile that only belonged to young teenagers: "Madam said that, I was wronged. Last time I was on the street, I didn't deliberately hide my identity. Madam, you didn't ask me, did you? If you did , I will definitely tell the truth."

   "Really?" Ning Yue said with a faint smile, "Anyway, it's over, so you can say whatever you want."

"Madam really refuses to drink my toast. Is it because of what happened in the afternoon? If it is because of this, I will be even more wronged. I have already reminded Zhao Sange not to provoke you. He didn't listen to the advice, and neither did I." Way." Geng Wu said innocently.

  Ning Yue sneered: "Aren't you a prophet? Then you didn't expect that I would reject you before you came to me to toast?"

  Geng Wu smiled: "Of course it counts, but people's fate can be changed. If you reject me, can't I think of a way to change this situation?"

   "You want to change your fate against the sky?" Ning Yue smiled colder, "Nonsense!"

"Is it nonsense Madam seems to understand better than me?" Geng Wu approached Ning Yue, so close that his lips almost touched Ning Yue's ears, "I dare not drink the wine I'm toasting, but it's actually because of your belly. The flesh and blood in the middle?"

  Ning Yue suddenly changed color!

   Geng Wu hissed: "Don't be afraid, I won't say anything."

   "Who are you?" Ning Yue gave him a wary look!

Geng Wu smiled innocently: "I am the fifth son of the Geng family. Madam can call me Geng Wushuang. Forget it, let me be called Wushuang. The full name seems too unfamiliar. Is the divination I made for Madam accurate last time? Do you want me to count another divination for Madam?"

   "No need!" Ning Yue didn't want anything to do with this little monster!

  Xuanyin came over, took the cup in Geng Wu's hand, crushed it into pieces: "If you don't want your head to become like it, get out of here!"

  Geng Wu's expression froze, he smiled meaningfully, turned and left.

  But he didn't go back to his seat, but stood by the bonfire in the center of the venue, let the light of the fire shine on his green and immature handsome face, and said: "Everyone be quiet, I have something to say."

   Everyone looked at him.

He said with a smile: "It's my first time to come to Spirit Snake Island, and I'm with the envoys from Xiliang. I heard that Master Sikong Shuo from Xiliang is good at the art of dunjia. Counting Wang's imperial spirit, this is how Xiliang's dynasty changed. He is unparalleled and dare not compare himself with Lord Sikong Shuo. He only hopes to take this opportunity to compete with Lord Sikong Shuo. I hope His Majesty will agree with the island owner. .”

  His Majesty and the island owner both showed a hint of embarrassment, this Sikong Shuo is Xuanyin at all, how can he know the skill of Qimen Dunjia? Isn't it obvious that you are ashamed? Disgrace is a small thing, but it is a big thing to lose face.

  Dongmei hurriedly lowered her head. Oops, she was hit by her crow's mouth! The shameless Geng Wushuang is really fighting with her uncle!

  The third son of Zhao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, father, we have all seen these spells before, so we have responded to the request of the fifth son Geng. Let us open our eyes!"

   "Yes, Your Majesty! Let's see!"

   "Weichen also wants to broaden his horizons!"

   "Father, just promise Geng Wushuang!"

  Everyone said something to each other, and they were all full of expectations for this exchange.

  Ning Yue and Xuan Yin stood side by side, with their wide sleeves hanging down, covering their hands, but Xuan Yin could feel a thin layer of sweat from Ning Yue's palm.

"He really cares about pennies and bucks. He provoked me first, but he just gave him a warning, and he will make you look ugly in public! I have a hunch that he can be sure that I am pregnant, and that you are Xuan Yin ! He wants to expose you!" Ning Yue said coldly.

  Xuanyin doesn't believe that a 13-year-old yellow-haired boy who has only seen one side can be better than Geng Yun's insight. Geng Yun can't see him through, so can Geng Wushuang?

  But that guy's demeanor is determined to win, and he seems to be sure that he can't win. If it is the real Sikong Shuo, of course he has a chance to win...

   Is Geng Wushuang really a prophet?

   Xuan Yin said: "A child's intuition is relatively sharp, maybe he just suspects, and maybe he wants to take the opportunity to confirm his guess."

   "Left foot."

  Geng Wushuang's voice appeared at the same time as Xuanyin's left foot stepped forward.

   For a moment, the scene was silent.

  Xuan Yin's eyes moved, and he raised his lips and said: "Young Master Geng is so kind, how can I not respond? How does Young Master Geng plan to compare?"

  Geng Wushuang smiled and said, "What does Lord Sikong want to do?"

   "I don't care."

   Ning Yue was sweating inwardly, this is a braggart, but she is really calm!

  Geng Wushuang's eyes revealed a hint of inquiry: "Then let's ask someone to put different fruits in the box. Let's guess and see who can guess correctly."

   Xuanyin smiled lightly: "Okay."

  Ning Yue squeezed the veil tightly, she couldn't help but not be nervous, it's really that Xuanyin doesn't have the ability to see through, lucky enough to be able to catch one or two...

   "What should I do, miss? Will my uncle reveal something?" Dongmei was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

  Ning Yue settled down: "I don't know, let's wait and see." This is not a conspiracy, and she can't do anything about it.

  Xuanyin asked Xiao Lizi to bring the gossip compass over, so he had to put on a show.

  The maid brought two boxes over.

  Geng Wushuang said to Xuanyin: "Master Sikong, let's talk first."

   Xuanyin raised his hand: "You are a junior, so I will naturally let you go, you come first."

  Geng Wushuang casually pointed to the box on the right and said, "Cherries."

  The maid opened the box and took out a plate of bright red and juicy cherries.

  Everyone applauded loudly.

   "It's your turn, my lord." Geng Wushuang couldn't wait.

   Xuanyin drew a few circles on the gossip compass casually, and said, "Coconut."

  The maid opened the box and took out the fruit plate. It was indeed a coconut, and there was another burst of applause.

  Geng Wushuang took a deep look at Xuan Yin, Xuan Yin raised his eyebrows, and laughed so much that the branches trembled.

  The maid presented two sealed boxes.

  Geng Wushuang pointed to the box on the right and said, "Grapes."

  The maid takes out the grapes.

   Xuan Yin didn't even raise his eyelids: "Watermelon."

  The corner of the maid's mouth twitched, but she still took out the tray from the box. It was indeed a sliced ​​watermelon.

  Dongmei was dumbfounded, tugged at Ning Yue's sleeve and said, "Miss, when did my uncle become so powerful?"

  Ning Yue opened her mouth: "Yes... There must be someone to help you."

  The king of Nanjiang glanced at the island owner with satisfaction, and the island owner smiled without saying a word.

   Later, Geng Wushuang and Xuan Yin guessed for five more rounds, and they all guessed right.

  The King of Nanjiang laughed: "Okay, you are all people with profound skills, so there is no need to compare any more. If you compare again, the sky will be brighter."

Geng Wu accepted it when he saw it: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Anyway, Lord Sikong will not leave Southern Border for a while. I have the opportunity to ask him another day. Today, let's enjoy the banquet prepared by the island owner for us." Bar!"

  The island owner smiled heartily: "This kid really can talk!"

  Geng Wu turned around and cupped his hands at Xuan Yin: "My lord, let me go."

   Xuanyin smiled lightly and said, "Admit it."

Ning Yue secretly thought, this kind of competition is actually very simple, just guessing the contents of the box, there are many ways to do it, use internal force to pry open a crack, or smell the smell, you can get a glimpse of the answer, Geng Wuruo intends to prove Sikong Shuo's identity , shouldn't choose such a simple competition.

   "Bagua compass is a good thing, I wonder if my lord can let me see it." Geng Wushuang asked suddenly.

  Xuanyin's eyes flashed a trace of vigilance, and the eyes locked on Geng Wushuang. For a moment, his heart turned a thousand times, but he still said openly: "Little Li, show me the gossip compass to Mr. Wushuang."

  Little Lizi pouted, and presented the gossip compass in front of Geng Wushuang.

  Geng Wushuang's face quickly showed a trace of solemnity, and his fingertips lightly brushed the hexagram eyes of the gossip compass.

  Little Lizi shouted: "Don't touch it! You won't be able to afford it if you break it!"

   This is the baby of his lord! Even the king of Yin County has never played it!

  Geng Wushuang withdrew his hand and smiled brightly: "I've always wanted a gossip plate of my own, but unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable material. One day, if Master Sikong gets tired of playing, I'll exchange it with you for my family heirloom."

   Xuanyin smiled coldly: "This thing can't be given away casually." If he did, when Sikong Shuo woke up, he would have to kill him.

   "I'll just say it, you don't have to worry about it." Geng Wushuang shrugged.

  Speaking as if Sikong Shuo is so stingy and unwilling to bear the pain to give up his love, he is also exchanging a family heirloom, and it is not for nothing.

  Xuanyin is completely immune to this trick, anyway, he is not Sikong Shuo, no matter how bad his reputation is, he sneers and turns his face away.

After that, it was the men and women on the island who brought everyone entertainment. Occasionally, a few aristocratic masters came to have a few wrestling fights, which made the atmosphere more lively. reappear.

  Ning Yue's gaze has been lingering on Geng Wushuang and the Empress of Nanjiang. The two have their own affairs and have no communication, but Ning Yue understands that if the Empress of Nanjiang hadn't been secretly dealing with it, Geng Wushuang might still be comprehending the way of heaven in the Taoist temple.

  Geng Wushuang is the secret weapon of the Empress of Southern Xinjiang. It will never be effective until the critical moment, but once it appears on the stage, it will be extremely lethal. But tonight is very strange, Geng Wu let Xuan Yin go so easily, it's not like the Geng family's style of stepping on everything.

  After the banquet was over, Ning Yue went back to the yard, worried about the banquet, and walked into Xuanyin's residence through the back door.

  Xuanyin was about to find Ning Yue, when she saw her coming by herself, he quickly hugged her into his arms, and rubbed her: "Is the banquet okay? Is there any discomfort?"

  Ning Yue tore off the sachet that Dongmei embroidered for her: "With this, I don't have such a serious reaction."

   Xuan Yin casually threw the sachet on the table: "You came to me in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

   "I'm thinking about Geng Wushuang, there are too many mysteries about him..." Ning Yue couldn't figure it out, "By the way, how did you guess the fruit in the box today? Did you smell it or look it out?"

   Xuan Yin smiled softly: "You think I have Rong Qing's dog nose, and I still smell it?"

   "Then you tampered with the box?"

   "No." Xuanyin shook his head.

   "What's going on?" Ning Yue asked.

   Xuan Yin raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what's in the box at all, so I just picked it up!"

  Ning Yue opened her mouth: "That's okay?" Thinking of something, she suddenly realized, "I see, it's Island Master Zhao!"

   Xuanyin gave her a look that guessed right.

  There is a secret compartment in those boxes, and all kinds of fruits are placed in the secret compartment. If Xuanyin’s guess is different from the one on the secret compartment, the maid will secretly replace the fruit.

   "What about Geng Wushuang? Did he really guess right?"

   Xuanyin stared: "As far as the fruits placed on the hidden grid are concerned, he did guess all of them correctly."

  So wicked! Ning Yue frowned: "Then did he figure out that there are other fruits hidden in the hidden compartment? And did he figure out that Island Master Zhao cheated for you?"

   Xuanyin caressed Ning Yue's soft belly: "I don't know."

  Ning Yue pressed his hand and said thoughtfully: "This Geng Wushuang is really a mystery! He even said I was pregnant!"

   Xuan Yin's eyes turned cold: "He threatened you with this?"

   "That's not true. Even if there was, I'm not afraid. I firmly insist that the child was conceived in April, and no one can say anything."

  In April, Xuanyin and Sikong Shuo hadn't exchanged identities yet. They were loving couples, and it was normal for them to have crystallized love.

  Paused, Ning Yue came again: "But having said that, if Geng Wushuang is really so good, why didn't he continue to compete with you? Do some games where Island Master Zhao can't cheat?"

Xuan Yin's other hand slipped into her clothes: "Because he didn't want to prove whether I was Sikong Shuo at all, in other words, he didn't care, what he cared about was whether Island Master Zhao really stood by me. side."

  Although he was unwilling to get involved in the struggle for imperial power in southern Xinjiang, from the first day he came back, he had no way to retreat.

"What a cunning Geng Wushuang! He actually thought of this trick to force Island Master Zhao to reveal himself!" Knowing that Xuan Yin couldn't guess correctly, he chose a match that Island Master Zhao could participate in, obviously because he wanted to see what Island Master Zhao would do. Will not cheat for Xuanyin. Ning Yue took out the golden gourd from Island Master Zhao, "This is from Island Master Zhao. When he gave this to me, the faces of his three sons all changed. I guess it is a very important s things."

   Xuan Yin squinted his eyes: "The old man actually gave it to you?"

  Ning Yue glanced at him: "Old man? You mean grandpa?"

  Xuanyin didn't refute this grandfather as usual, picked up the golden gourd and said, "Do you know who originally owned this island?"

   "I heard from the imperial concubine that it belongs to my grandmother."

   "Then do you know why Island Master Zhao and the others have been guarding the island and haven't interacted with the outside world for many years?" He said serious words, but his hands moved irregularly inside Ning Yue's clothes.

  Ning Yue's body became weak from being rubbed, she sat on his lap, closed her eyes slightly and said, "If you say guard, then you are guarding something... what is it?"

   "Treasure."

   "Ah—" Ning Yue was suddenly touched by his sensitive place, and she cried out in shock, "Speaking of serious business, can you stop being a hooligan?" After a pause, he said again: "You just said treasure?"

  Xuan Yin had already untied her clothes, kissed the very tempting place under her collarbone, and said: "There are more treasures than underground palaces, this little gourd is the key to the treasures."

   Ning Yue was stunned, the underground palace was full of gold, and jewels could be seen everywhere, more than the underground palace, so what does it look like to be rich? No wonder the island owner's son's expression turned pale. He was probably wondering, why did his father give such an important thing to an outsider?

   "Do you think we want it?" Xuanyin asked while kissing her.

   "Yes, it's your grandmother's dowry, why don't you want it? If you... feel embarrassed, just share it with Huangfuyan and Huangfushan... Hiss... Take it easy!"

   "If you want it, you have to seize the throne."

   Xuanyin's words made Ning Yue's body freeze suddenly. How could she forget the lessons of her previous life when she was happy? Xuanyin was the emperor of Southern Border in his previous life, and he has been avoiding this path all his life, is he still going to repeat the same mistakes? She has no objection to Xuan Yin taking back what belongs to her, but if these things include the queen from her previous life, she would rather destroy everything selfishly!

  Feeling the strangeness of the person in his arms, Xuanyin asked softly: "What's wrong?"

   "Xuan Yin, has Grandpa talked to you about the throne?"

   Xuanyin didn't answer her, but looked at her fixedly, and asked, "Do you want to be a queen, Yueyue?"

  He avoided his own question, so the king of Nanjiang did reveal his meaning in this regard? Ning Yue squeezed her fingers: "If you really become the emperor, will I be the queen?"

   Xuanyin smiled: "Fool, you are not the queen, who is the queen?"

  Ning Yue's eyes moved: "If the emperor and me, you can only choose one, what would you choose?"

   Xuanyin's smile faltered for a moment, then he rubbed her hair and said: "There is no such choice, I want it."

  …

   Late at night, cool wind

  Geng Wushuang sat under the plane tree, stroking the strings.

Eunuch Qin stood by his side with his whisk raised, until he had finished stroking a song, and then said with a smile: "Island Master Zhao has given the key to Ma Ningyue, and just now... the meaning of this must be that the fifth son is more important than the slave." I understand, the empress asked the servant to ask the fifth son, how is the fifth son's affairs going?"

  Geng Wushuang took out a white cloth, wiped the strings and said, "Tell your empress that Xuanyin will not ascend to the throne of God."

  …

  Ning Yue and Xuan Yin fell asleep, the sachet exuding the fragrance of orange and mint, shone slightly by the moonlight.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Do you feel like you are reincarnated every time you go to Weiyang Palace! The slaves can't keep up!" Xiao Dezi chased after the young emperor, "It's better to serve the late emperor, who never ran away! You... Hey! Your Majesty, please wait!"

   "I can't wait any longer!" The young emperor turned his head, with an uncontrollable smile on the face of the ice cube that had never changed for thousands of years, "She called me to eat!"

   "Isn't it just a meal? As for making you so excited?" Xiao Dezi almost couldn't catch up.

  The emperor rushed all the way into Weiyang Palace.

  The woman was undressing, when she saw him, she cried out in surprise.

  He hugged the woman into his arms and rolled onto the bed. The heavy dragon robe quickly pressed the woman's skin into red marks, and he turned sideways distressedly: "I hurt you again, didn't I?"

  The woman looked at him with wide watery eyes.

  He hooked his lips into a smile, and took her lips into his mouth: "I miss you, Queen."

  The woman didn't speak, but timidly accepted his kiss. His big palm caressed her slender waist and smooth back.

  The sun shines through the window ridge, shining on a pair of entangled figures, and also on the lifelike butterfly on her back.
