Your Majesty will suffer

After Zhengdan passed, from the second day to the fifth day of the first day, from the emperor to the courtiers, they could finally have a few days of leisure.

These two days the official family was also in good spirits, they called two or three people including Nan Gongji and Yun Xi into the palace for a drink, but unfortunately the luck was not good, after a few days they all lost to one of the official family!

Nan Gongji then joked: "Does the official family know that I am down and out, and offer to help me?"

When Yue Ling was in a hurry to lose, I occasionally felt annoyed, but only the next day, I forgot all about it again, and announced him to enter as usual.

In this way, the days passed very quickly, and it was the fifth day in a blink of an eye.On this day, the clan was entertained in the palace.Nan Gongji is a foreign minister, so there is nothing else to do at the clan banquet!However, when the late emperor was there, in order to show his closeness, he was reserved at the clan banquet every year, which meant that he was regarded as the clan's son and nephew.Since there is a precedent, Yue Ling grandly called him in on the same day.

Entering from the Donghua Gate, it is not far from the Zichen Hall where the banquet is held.Nangongji was in a good mood, and he was doing it just to make fun of him, and after a while, he arrived in front of Xuanyou's gate.

Ling Qi suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Isn't that King Yu?"

Nan Gongji was confused for a while, and said: "Which King Yu?" Turning his head to look.

Ling Qi said in a low voice: "Which king of Yu is there? He won't be granted until after the next year, so I forgot about it..."

Nan Gongji turned around and looked at him, "If it wasn't for the friends not getting together, in this year, the friends would gather together."

Ling Qi said lightly: "After all, he is Yudi. Now that he has met, the gentleman must be more respectful."

Nangongji smiled indifferently, without saying yes or no.To be honest, although he and Yue Zhi are old acquaintances, they are not familiar at all. Even if they meet now, they are still strangers.Naturally, Nan Gongji is not a narrow-minded person, besides, time has passed, and Yue Ling has long since ignored what happened back then, so why should he care about it as an outsider?Therefore, if His Royal Highness Prince Yu is willing to smile away his grievances, he, Nan Gongji, may as well go along with the flow.

Although the two are siblings, looking at them now, Nangong Ji really can't see any similarities between them: Yue Ling is weak and weak, but the young man in front of him is tall and strong, he seems to be about the same size as Nan Gongji!

Just as he was thinking wildly, the man approached and made him cough lightly. Nangong Ji knew what he meant, and leaned over to make a bow.The young man stopped and looked at him with an indescribable expression.After a while, with a flick of the big sleeve, there seemed to be a "hum" from the nose, and he didn't turn his head back inside!The master and servant were left looking at each other.

After a long time, Wen Lingqi sighed quietly: "This is another enemy."

Nan Gongji smiled slightly, with a sense of helplessness: "We are enemies in the first place, why do we say 'too many'?!"

The two masters and servants continued to move forward.Fang entered from the side door in front of Chongzheng Hall, and bumped into someone!

That Gong'e looked rather alarmed, but when she raised her eyes to see the person she bumped into, she seemed overjoyed, and said, "Mr.

After Nangong Ji mentioned it, she really felt familiar.

Without waiting for him to think about it carefully, the woman said: "I am from Song Meiren's Palace, and I will look for hairpins in the garden later..."

Nangong Ji smiled and said, "Exactly."

Seeing that he recognized him, Gong'e hurriedly took out something from her sleeve and presented it: "Sister Zhichun said that Mr. Lang is a warm-hearted person, please keep this item for a while!"

Nangong Ji was very confused, but he didn't allow him to ask carefully, Gong'e had already stuffed the blue cloth into his hands, and said in a low voice: "If the servant girl can't come to retrieve it today, I will trouble you to find an opportunity to return it. In the Palace of Beauty, they say that Yingqiu entrusted her." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ling Qi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, don't wade into this muddy water. I don't think this is an easy matter." After saying this, he signaled him to look forward.

But seeing a few people coming from afar, meeting each other face to face, they seem to have only a few words, so they take Yingqiu away.

Nangong Jining raised her eyebrows in thought.Seeing those people walking away, he handed the things in his hands to Ling Qi, saying: "This thing, and the jade hairpin from last time, with your eyes, can you tell whether it came from the palace?"

He asked him to take it and open it, pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "Jade is a good jade, and it can fetch a good price in the market, but this quality is still somewhat different from the forbidden ones."

Nangong Ji nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you to go."

In the afternoon, the official family went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, and all the clan relatives accompanied them to drive around the garden.

After Nangongji entered the garden, he intentionally slowed down, and after a while, he fell behind.A lot of winter jasmine flowers bloomed in the garden again, Nan Gongji stopped in front of the flowers and admired them carefully.After a while, there was movement behind him, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that the person he invited had arrived.

In this place, Nan Gongji didn't want to waste time chatting with her, so he ordered her to take out the jade hairpin and jade bracelet early in the morning, which seemed to surprise the woman quite a bit.

Order him to get straight to the point: "Because I see that these two things don't look like those in the palace, I return them to Song Meiren! Otherwise, the current beauty will probably be separated in Lin Zhaoyi Palace."

These words are not a small deterrent, but after hearing this, Chun couldn't get up on the ground, crying: "My wife has nothing to do with this matter, so I ask you to raise your hand high."

Nangongji never saw a woman cry in his life, and he was afraid of making a big commotion, so he hurriedly ordered him to help her up, saying: "That's all, since I brought this thing with you, I won't make things difficult for you , As for your Mrs. Song, whether she has anything to do with this matter or not, I am an outsider, so I have no way of asking." After speaking, he ordered her to return those two things to her, which meant that they would leave early, so as not to cause complications.

Unexpectedly, Ling Qi refused to follow, and even persuaded him: "Your Majesty has good intentions, but you must be on guard. The truth of this matter is still unknown. If you teach someone to bite us in the future, you will be a good person in vain."

Nangong Ji caressed his forehead for a while: "According to you, what should I do?"

Make him turn to Na Zhichun and say: "Originally this matter has nothing to do with my lord, so it's okay to be ignorant, but today's matter forced us to be involved. If so, please tell me the whole story. No matter what happens, we can still take precautions early."

Hearing this, Nangong Ji thought it was true: No matter what, he was already involved in this dispute!What happened in the morning, I don't know if anyone was suspicious, but I let people go so casually at the moment, if there is any twists and turns afterwards, there is no room for argumentation!

Seeing this, Zhichun knew that she couldn't do it today, so she had to follow the wishes of the two of them and tell the inside story roughly.In fact, Nan Gongji had already guessed seven or eight points, it was nothing more than the palace's tight budget and had to sell some jewelry to maintain it.

After hearing Zhichun's words, Nan Gongji said: "The sold items are not belongings in the palace, why do you sneak around? It makes people suspicious!"

Zhichun wanted to speak but stopped.Ling Qi told her on her behalf: How is Song Meiren the lord of the first palace? , It is inevitable that there will be waves on the ground again.

Nan Gongji thought about it, but it was the same reason, only one thing was not clear, so he said: "I heard that Song Meiren... She also has some family background, how can she be short of money?"

Zhichun's face was mournful, as if there was something hard to say, he pondered for a while, but only said one sentence: "It's hard to say!"

Nangong Ji thought that it was a bit difficult for someone to come here to ask, so he waved his hand and said, "That's the end of this matter." He ordered him to return the jade hairpin and jade bracelet.I only want to get these two things, even if I give them away, the income may not be enough for her to spend in the palace for a few days!Then he said casually: "It's always like this, and it's not a long-term solution. Don't beauties think of other ways?"

Zhichun said: "What can we do? Our women can only embroider flowers in their spare time. I asked, but the embroidery takes time and doesn't cost much... Although my wife is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But I can't exchange money..." In the words, he seemed to think of something suddenly, so he took out something and said, "Lang Jun, how about this fan?"

Nan Gongji took it over and looked at it, then said with a smile, "Although it is a fake, this painting is fascinating."

Zhichun nodded hurriedly: "Lang Jun is very right, this is my wife's handwriting! My wife has been learning painting since she was a child, and she is especially good at this fan. Although the workmanship of this fan is a bit rough, it is very good to make a casual gift during the New Year's day." Good. People often ask my wife to paint!"

Nangong Jiwen's heart seemed to move, and said: "This painting, if the fan bones are replaced, and the handwork is more delicate, it will be no different from that Japanese fan (1)!"

Make him mutter to the side all the time, Nangong Ji will let him go, and only think about his affairs.

Just now when he saw the fan painted by Song Meiren, he suddenly had an excellent plan, and he couldn't wait to discuss it with Li Qi: This Japanese fan is originally from overseas, so it is really rare!According to the current market conditions, a good Japanese fan can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars!It is extremely rare for this Song beauty to be able to paint this fan as well as the real Japanese fan. If the workmanship is further refined, if you want to get it in the market, no one will care about it!

Note:

(1) Japanese fan: It is said that the Japanese Japanese fan is the forerunner of Chinese folding fan craftsmanship.Song Guo Ruoxu's "Pictures and Knowledge" Volume [-]: Folding fan, "Use crow green paper for it, and paint the country's nobles and nobles, mixed with women's pommel horses, or near the water as a golden sand beach, including lotus, flowers and trees, water birds, etc. The embellishment is exquisite. It is also made of silver clay in the shape of clouds and moonlight. It is very cute. It is called a Japanese fan, which originally came from the Japanese country. It is especially secret and cherished in recent years, and the classics get it.”This is the record of the Japanese fan painting art, which was introduced to China in the Song Dynasty.Because it was rare at that time, the price was quite expensive.
