Shen Yanxi sent someone to keep an eye on Nalan Baiyao. After the spy reported her actions, the owner of the restaurant immediately came to apologize to Nalan Baiyao.
However, the jade pendant was not something that Nalan Baiyao wore around her waist or anywhere else. It was not something that could prove her identity as a princess. Then why did the boss look so servile? One had to know that the One Square Tower was a place where high-ranking officials and nobles fought to go. Even the Nalan family's royal family had to give some face.
Obviously, there was something going on between the shop owner and Nalan Baiyao.
Hearing this, Nalan Baiqiong only yawned.""After walking so much and eating and drinking to your heart's content, it's time to sleep.”
Shen Yanxi had no choice but to let the scout continue to keep an eye on them and report any movements.
They had been investigating this building for a long time, but they had not found the boss behind the scenes. Could it really be Nalan Baiyao? If that was the case, this place should be an important stronghold, so he had to be even more careful.
After returning to the palace, he couldn't help but go to Tang Xue's place. Nalan Baiqiong suppressed his sleepiness and coaxed her again and again. He changed the topic to Nalan Baiyao and diverted Tang Xue's attention. He only left Tang Xue's place after an hour.
What a controlling and suspicious woman.
How could they know that Nalan Baiqiong did not care about the throne at all? As long as she found a foolproof way out for herself, whoever wanted to be the second empress could do so. She could even die suddenly.
However, no one would believe it.
He still needed some time to slowly manage it.
Nalan Baiqiong yawned and rested on the carriage.
What a busy day.
Seeing Nalan Baiqiong and Shen Yanxi return, Shen Jingmin heaved a sigh of relief and asked Shen Yanxi carefully,""I said that you and His Majesty went to the Second Princess's residence, right?”
Shen Yanxi nodded.”Moreover, she had coincidentally discovered that there were officials in Nalan Baiyao's residence. She had secretly left some people to investigate and should be able to obtain some information. To Shen Yanxi, this was a true blessing in disguise. She was not like Nalan Baiqiong, who was satisfied after eating delicious food.
Glancing at the sleepy Nalan Baiqiong, Shen Yanxi instructed someone to prepare hot soup for Nalan Baiqiong to rest.
After leaving the palace, she realized how boring it was in the palace. Every day, she would either approve official documents or enjoy the flowers and take a walk. Other than maintaining her interest in delicious food, Nalan Baiqiong had no interest in anything else.
Since Shen Jingmin was here to accompany him to relieve his boredom, Nalan Baiqiong asked her if she knew any fun games.
"Pitchpot, Shuanglu, Liubo…" Shen Jingmin introduced them one by one and showed Nalan Baiqiong around. She even asked her sister in confusion," Didn't Your Majesty play before?”
Shen Yanxi didn't say anything. She just smiled and asked Shen Jingmin to play with her. Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask.
However, these games were still too boring for Nalan Baiqiong. With a flash of inspiration, Nalan Baiqiong asked Xie Yi to bring a pen and paper and draw a mahjong map."Zhen remembered a game I saw in a random book. Let the craftsman make it according to the pattern and Zhen will teach you how to play.”
Xie Yi accepted the order and left. By the time Nalan Baiyao's wedding day arrived, mahjong had already become popular in the palace, and people outside the palace began to play as well.
Nalan Baiqiong had added something fun for others, but he could not play much because of the book that forbade him from playing. He only said that Shen Jingmin had occasionally read it when she came to Longsheng Hall to copy books. The Emperor found it interesting, so he made it for the palace maids to pass the time, so that they would not have to work too hard on their daily service.
In the blink of an eye, it was Nalan Baiyao's day of marriage. Nalan Baiqiong had transmigrated for three to four months, from the valley rain to the summer heat.
The betrothal gifts from the Tang family had already been sent to the Martial Gate. The banquet in the palace was held in the Loyalty Palace Hall, hosted by Nalan Baiqiong. Nalan Baiyao had stayed in the palace yesterday. She had not left the palace where she lived before the princess manor was established. At this time, she should be bowing at the Empress Dowager's place. Soon, she would go to the Loyalty Palace Hall.
The men of the Tang family had also arrived at the Unity Hall. Nalan Baiqiong saw Tang Tianyuan. He was twenty years old this year and looked somewhat similar to Tang Jinchuan, but he was more high-spirited and flamboyant.
The joyous music gradually drew closer. Nalan Baiyao and Tang Tianyuan had come out of the Empress Dowager Palace and were heading towards the Zhonghe Palace.
Joy was played in the Loyalty Palace Hall. Tang Tianyuan and Nalan Baiyao held each other's red hair and slowly walked in to salute Nalan Baiqiong. Nalan Baiqiong's heart was stirred when he saw this. He had never worn a wedding dress before.
"Yaoyao, I sincerely hope that you can be happy.”
Nalan Baiqiong's words were very touching, but Nalan Baiyao only replied indifferently,""Nalan Baiyao thanks Your Majesty for your kind words.”
After bowing, Nalan Baiyao returned to the princess's manor first. Tang Tianyuan still had to go to the Stacked Ebony Palace to meet Tang Jinchuan before returning to the princess 'manor. The ceremony was considered complete. Tomorrow, the Empress Dowager would hold a banquet to entertain the Tang family's madams and young ladies. Nine days later, Nalan Baiyao and Tang Tianyuan would return to the palace again. The princess would return to her peaceful state, and the marriage would come to an end.
Nalan Baiqiong sincerely hoped that Tang Tianyuan could live up to his brother's trust and let Nalan Baiyao understand that the country could not compare to a beauty. The two of them could live a life of deep love and no longer assassinate each other.
After sending off the members of the Tang family, Nalan Baiqiong could not wait to return to the Asahi Palace. She pulled three palace maids and guards together to form a table of mahjong.
"Your Majesty, your addiction is too strong.”Shen Yanxi felt helpless.
"You're the only one who isn't addicted. You see, the Empress Dowager doesn't bother me anymore. I heard that she plays mahjong every day.”Using a set of mahjong to subdue the Empress Dowager was a pleasant surprise.
When Nalan Baiqiong played mahjong, she would drag anyone she saw into the game. In the past, she was the one who killed everyone. The palace people gradually understood the way to play and gradually lost less miserably. However, they rarely won against Nalan Baiqiong. Even if they won, it was only a small win.
The guard facing him today looked simple-minded, but he was actually an expert. After four rounds, the other two had already lost all the silver that Nalan Baiqiong had given them. Nalan Baiqiong himself only had a little left.
"High, really high." Nalan Baiqiong fired a shot and pushed the cards after losing everything. She asked the guard," Do you think you've been practicing every day?”
The guard rubbed his head in embarrassment and replied,""Your Majesty, this is the first time I've come to Asahi Palace.”
"First time?" Nalan Baiqiong was in disbelief." You just learned it after hearing the rules? And so powerful?"
"I still don't know the first two rounds, but there are only a few cards here. I'll remember them after looking at them a few more times.”The guard replied cheerfully," I heard that if I win against His Majesty, all the silver will belong to him. Is that true?”
"It's true." Although it was a little painful, Nalan Baiqiong still waved his hand and gave it all to him.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:55AM
