MTLNOVEL Chapter 117 The imperial edict arrives
Xiao Jing listened to the clanging gongs and drums and hurriedly said to Yuan Chuyi: "The imperial envoy who announced the decree should have arrived. Go back and change clothes quickly to prepare for the decree."
"Oh."
Yuan Chuyi hurriedly carried the plate and followed him back to the house to change clothes. After they changed and came out, the head of Xishan Village was already crowded with villagers who came out to watch the fun. At the same time, a group of people playing gongs and drums had also crossed the bridge and arrived at the head of the village.
Xiao Jing took Yuan Chuyi's hand and walked out to greet him from a distance.
The leader of the group of people beating gongs and drums saw Xiao Jing standing out among the crowd, and immediately stopped the people, and then went to the carriage to whisper. The carriage stopped immediately, and a tall and thin young man wearing an official uniform and an official hat, with a face like a crown jewel, lazily came out of the car.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but smile when he saw the person coming, and stepped forward to salute and say hello, "Prince Yu!"
Nangong Yu looked lazily and looked at Xiao Jing carelessly, sizing him up with a ruffian smile on his face, "Prince An, long time no see! I have to come to this remote place to see you."
"Prince Yu has traveled thousands of miles to come here." Xiao Jing said with a smile, and looked at Nangong Yu, "The prince is dressed like this, is he the imperial envoy for drought relief?"
Nangong Yu was filled with pride, "That's not true! Of course, I came here specifically to see you." He looked behind Xiao Jing, "Didn't I say that you are married and have children? Where are your wife and children?"
Xiao Jing hurriedly led Yuan Chuyi away, "This is my wife Yuanshi. Madam, this is the Holy Emperor's younger brother, Prince Yu!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he smiled and saluted, "See you, Prince Yu!"
All the villagers behind her also knelt down in a hurry, "See you, Prince Yu!"
Nangong Yu laughed and waved his hand, "No courtesy, no need to be polite, get up quickly."
He looked at Yuan Chuyi without any airs and saw a gentle smile on her pretty face, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning. The temperament on her body is fresh and refined, like a fairy unstained from dust descending into the world, dignified and elegant. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and wisdom, as well as confidence and calmness. She exuded a unique charm that made him unable to look away.
"It is said that there are beauties in the north, peerless and independent. Look at Qingren City and then look at Qingren Country. This beauty from the south is also beautiful!" Nangong Yu laughed and said, "If the emperor knew that King An married such a Beauty, I can certainly understand why you are willing to hide in this deserted village and enjoy your happiness."
Xiao Jing laughed, "Thank you so much, King Yu for your praise!"
Nangong Yu looked at the first day of the Yuan Dynasty and then looked around, "Didn't I say that I gave birth to a pair of twins? Where is the child? Where is the child? Let me take a look!"
Xiao Jing was ashamed, "The child has just been born, so it is not suitable to be exposed to the wind outside. He is at home. If King Yu wants to see the child, he might as well move to his humble residence."
"Lead the way, lead the way!" Nangong Yu said, fanning himself. Although it has just finished raining, the weather is still hot.
"King Yu, please come this way!" Xiao Jing hurriedly led Nangong Yu to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
The villagers of Xishan Village never imagined that they would be lucky enough to see a prince in this life. They all stretched their necks and crowded together to watch the fun.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Xiao family, Nangong Yu suddenly felt much cooler. When he entered the flower hall and saw two fat and white children lying side by side in the crib, he was immediately overjoyed. His face was filled with joy and he dropped his fan. He squatted next to the crib and reached out to pinch the child's face.
"Oh my god, why are they so cute? Their chubby little faces are so easy to pinch!" He smiled happily.
The two children looked at him with big eyes, obviously dissatisfied with him pinching their faces, and their little faces twisted.
Xiao Jing looked at the child who was clearly feeling uncomfortable. He couldn't help coughing and said, "I heard from the old man that children's faces cannot be pinched. If you pinch them, they will drool. Even if they are older, they will drool!"
When Nangong Yu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "It must be fun for the Prince An's son to bleed, hahaha..." He went to pinch it again.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing muttered softly.
Nangong Yu obviously didn't hear his muttering and still teased the child. But the child refused to obey. He flattened his mouth, kicked his calves, and clasped his hands, looking like he was about to cry because of his grievances.
Nangong Yu's heart couldn't help but jump, and he hurriedly retracted his restless hand, "If the baby doesn't cry, I won't cry anymore, and uncle won't squeeze it anymore!" He said hurriedly, took out a small brocade box from his arms, and took it from inside He took out two exquisitely made solid gold longevity locks and said, "Look, uncle brought you a gift. Don't cry!"
He carefully hung the longevity lock around the child's neck and looked at Xiao Jing, "This is a gift from the emperor."
Xiao Jing hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nangong Yu raised his eyebrows, nodded at the child's face, stood up, and said in a serious voice: "The Holy One has a decree, and Prince An will accept it!"
A young general hurriedly delivered a brocade box to Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu took out the bright yellow scroll with a jade scroll in the box.
"Wei Chen accepts the order!" Xiao Jing hurriedly led his family to kneel down to receive the order.
Nangong Yu opened the scroll and read loudly:
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. I am pleased to hear that King An recently received a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. It is indeed a blessing to our dynasty..."
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she listened to Nangong Yu read a long speech eloquently. She was confused, but she heard three points clearly. First, the emperor said that King An had made great achievements in guarding the border over the years, and she had also worked hard to give birth to the twins. They specially named her the First Grade Lady, their son Xiao Yanxi as the Crown Prince of Prince An, and their daughter Xiao Jinxi as the Princess of Changle. Secondly, she and Xiao Jing had to wait until next spring, when the weather becomes warm, to bring their children back to the capital. The third was a bunch of rewards whose names she couldn't remember.
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness." After Nangong Yu finished reading, Xiao Jing immediately accepted the order and kowtowed to express his gratitude. His voice brought Yuan Chuyi out of his daze.
She just gave birth to two children, and she was able to get a royal title and follow Xiao Jing's rank!
"Congratulations, sister-in-law!"
Nangong Yu came over with a smile on his face again.
Xiao Jing stood up and took the imperial edict, and helped Yuan Chuyi get up, "Thank you so much, Prince Yu! It's hard work for the prince to come all the way to announce the edict."
Nangong Yu laughed, "Be polite to me! If it weren't for this imperial edict, I wouldn't be able to leave the capital! Now I'm fine, I can finally come to this southwest place and have a good look!"
As he spoke, a scent of fragrance wafted over, and he couldn't help but sniff, "What smells so fragrant? What's so delicious!"
He followed the scent and looked around, and finally saw the plate of peanut cakes he had brought out before the first day of the Yuan Dynasty on the small square table nearby. He rushed over in three steps and two steps, picked it up, smelled it, and looked at Xiao Jing, "What kind of snack, the fragrance is so unique! Can you eat it?"
"This is what my wife baked for me before. I haven't eaten it yet. If King Yu doesn't mind, of course he can eat it!" Xiao Jing said with a slight smile.
Nangong Yu was not polite. He immediately lifted up his clothes and sat down. He took a piece and put it in his mouth and took a bite.
As soon as he took the peanut cake into his mouth, his eyes immediately lit up, "Wow! What kind of snack is this? It's crispy, crispy and fragrant. It's much more delicious than the snacks made by the royal chefs in the palace!" He ate it squeakingly. He opened his mouth like a rabbit's mouth and couldn't stop for a moment, "Is there more? I still want to eat, this is not enough!"
