After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242: My shoulders have never been a decoration

The night is as cold as water.

Nan Baoyi took a bath, changed into a pear white dress, and tied a piece of red silk at the end of her hair. As soon as she stepped out of the threshold, she saw little Ah Ruo sitting quietly on the steps, lowering her head and weaving a garland of begonias.

She sat next to the little guy and touched his head: "Are you still sad about what happened during the day?"

The little guy shook his head: "Mommy, Uncle Four Emperors taught me that life is short and don't feel sorry for unworthy people, so I no longer care about the Xu family's affairs."

Nan Baoyi held her face in her hands: "Then what are you worried about?"

The little guy heaved a decent sigh: "Sister Pei's family is ignoring me again. I plan to give her a garland knitted by myself and give her a good coax, just like my father coaxed my mother-in-law. I passed by the palace a few days ago. At that time, I heard my father say to you that I miss you like crazy. Mom, I think I miss you like crazy too."

Nan Baoyi choked.

This little kid, does he know what "thinking like crazy" means?

It's also my fault for the second brother. He said nothing but love words. It's not good for children to learn from them.

She said seriously: "As a child, it's okay to apologize in a serious manner, but it's not good to say those words."

She called the guard from the East Palace and sent him to deliver the wreath to the Pei family.

Ah Ruan was relieved and said in a childish voice: "Aniang, are you still sad for your great-grandmother?"

Seeing that Nan Baoyi was silent, he took the initiative to hug her and comforted her: "Great-grandmother has just become a child, but she is still great-grandmother! Let's take good care of her, just like she took care of us when we were children! Auntie, from now on I can play with her with my uncle!"

Just turned into a child...

Nan Baoyi suddenly burst into tears.

She looked at the little guy. He had a very handsome smile and his crooked eyes were full of warmth, like stars on a winter night and fireflies in summer.

She hugged the little guy, feeling moved and fond of him.

Late at night, Ah Ruo was taken to bed by her grandmother. Nan Baoyi was still sitting on the steps, looking up at the stars in the sky. The autumn night was cold, and she couldn't help but rub her arms.

While she was lost in thought, a thick cloak was draped over her shoulders.

She looked over and saw that her second brother had arrived at some unknown time, lifted his robe and sat next to her.

He said: "I heard that my grandmother was sick, so I came over to take a look."

Seeing that Nan Baoyi was silent, his eyes darkened a little.

When he was in Jinguan City in the past, he had made a vow that if his little girl didn't want to work hard, then he was willing to hide her under his wings and pamper her and take care of her.

If she wanted to use her own power to soar into the sky, then he would be willing to let her fly.

Now, his little girl is probably tired from flying.

It's time for the canary to fly back to her golden nest.

He put his arms around Nan Baoyi's head and let her lean on his shoulder.

He whispered: "Nan Jiaojiao, my shoulders have never been for decoration."

Nan Baoyi was stunned.

She looked at the man. His jawline was strong and beautiful, showing nobility and coldness that she had never seen in the past. His brows were like mountains.

It looks very calm and reliable.

There were several hard-to-find small scars on his forehead, and going down his collar, she knew that there were many old and new wounds on his body, all of which were the result of his military exploits in the past years.

Her second brother is an upright man.

Nan Baoyi's eyes were moist.

She leaned on his shoulder tiredly: "Second brother..."

Autumn insects rustle.

It's quiet tonight and the moonlight is beautiful.

"Seal the Queen?!"

Da Sima Mansion.

Mrs. Xu, who was fair and plump, had just coaxed her daughter to sleep. When she heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Can someone like Nan Baoyi really be a queen?! Her crimes have not been cleared yet, she -"

"Shut up!"

Xu Yueshan was so angry that he wished he could give her two slaps: "What the emperor told me personally, can it be false?! The imperial edict to become the queen is on New Year's Eve. The emperor asked you to set an example for the wives and take the lead in establishing a good relationship with her. Build momentum for her to become queen in the future! Look what you have done, do you want to piss me off?!"

Mrs. Xu's lips trembled and she staggered back two steps.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "Isn't she still outside the palace? How about I send someone to give her some gifts? We got a new pair of gold and jade Ruyi a while ago, why not-"

"Idiot! Do you think the Nan family cares about our little treasure?!"

Xu Yueshan was so angry that he beat the table.

He lifted up his robe and sat down, drinking a large bowl of cold tea in one breath: "Today is different from the past. Now the city of Chang'an is not decided by Queen Shen, nor by the noble family, but by the new emperor! The new emperor has the final say! Who is hiding in the apex of my heart? Isn’t it Nan Baoyi?! I’m giving you the opportunity to cling to you, and you’re going to be in a hurry! I’m afraid my future will be ruined by you!”

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale as she poured tea for him tremblingly: "My husband is the emperor's right-hand man, how could the emperor do it because of a woman?"

Seeing that she had no regrets, Xu Yueshan was so angry that he threw the bowl of tea in her face and left angrily.

Mrs. Xu's legs weakened and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.

After staying for a moment, she burst into tears.

Xu Wanwan was awakened by the quarrel between her parents, dragged her pillow over, and said in a childish voice: "Mom, who bullied you?"

Mrs. Xu was crying and saw her daughter standing under the light, well-behaved and cute, with a fair and delicate face. She must be a rare beauty when she grows up...

She suddenly remembered something.

She quickly wiped away her tears and hugged Xu Wanwan into her arms: "My mother is so Wanwan... In the future, you have to fight for my mother-in-law with His Highness... I will think about it tomorrow." The other way around is to send you to the Imperial College to study..."

Xu Mansion was in a commotion.

On the other side, the Li family ancestral hall.

Li Sesu couldn't believe it: "Female title?!"

During this time she was kept in the ancestral hall.

She made a huge joke at the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet, and also made great decisions, so that all the children who lost their fathers during the war went to Li's Academy to study, which caused the family to spend a lot of money. Her father was so angry that he punished her. Copying Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall and thinking about my mistakes behind closed doors.

A silk gauze lamp stood in the corner, its light and shadow dim, illuminating countless tablets.

There is a girl sitting under the silk gauze lamp.

Her little face was just hidden in the shadow cast by the gauze curtain. She crossed her legs and was eating melon seeds. The golden bells hanging around her waist and wrists made a crisp sound with the sound of eating melon seeds.

Li Sesu sat on the bed not far away, holding the quilt tightly with both hands: "Nan Baoyi is so virtuous and capable that he can be named queen?! The emperor, the emperor is so good, every time I see him from a distance , I can't help but be conquered by him... Every time I hear about his illustrious achievements, I will be particularly admired and moved... He is so good, how can she deserve it?! I don't accept it!"

Veins popped out on the back of her fair hands, and her face was full of reluctance.

The girl under the gauze lamp spit out the melon seed shell and sneered: "So what if you don't accept it? Can you still kill her?"

When the word "kill" was mentioned, the girl's hand holding the melon seeds felt a little unnatural, and the shadow of the eyelashes falling on her cheeks flickered quickly.

He is also a person who deals with the Five Elements and Bagua.

She knew that some people were blessed by heaven, and anyone who hurt her would definitely die.

But she made a deal with the woman in the cold palace, she must take Nan Baoyi's life, and she was unwilling to harm her own fate, so she secretly came over to encourage Li Sesu.

"Kill her?" Li Sese murmured, frowning slightly, "I, I have never killed anyone."

"If you don't dare, you can borrow someone else's hand." The girl said with a smile, "She offended not only the aristocratic family, but also the poor family? The aristocratic family bowed their heads to the imperial power, but how can the tough-minded children of the poor family be willing to do so easily? Surrender, if someone fanned the flames... Those words she used to humiliate a poor family member when criticized in the palace are still fresh in my mind."

,

A poor family will not call Jiaojiao aggrieved. There are people in Jiaojiao's humble family.
