Since Ye Xue and Xuanyuan Aotian met for the first time and separated in Mizong Mountain, Ye Xue thought that she would go to Beijing to compete with Xuanyuan in the triennial competition within the Nangong clan two years later.
Goodbye Aotian.
Things in the world are changing. When Nangong Shuiyao was pregnant with a prince, word spread throughout the country. The Nangong family rejoiced and celebrated all the way, just as they were about to usher in the new year.
The spring is cold and cold.
Luomei and Luolan were packing their luggage for Beijing early, but bad news came from Beijing.
——Nangong Shuiyao has a difficult delivery!
Speaking of which, it is really an incredible thing.
Although Nangong Shuiyao was hit by a little palace maid and gave birth ahead of schedule, she was already ten months pregnant and gave birth to a stillborn baby.
This was a palace secret. When Nangong Xiaoyao told Ye Xue, Ye Xue was extremely surprised. The fetus did not seem to be born or die on the way to life, but died long before that...
…
She was pregnant with a child for sixteen years, and she had been pregnant safely for ten months, but in the end she gave birth to a dead baby. Nangong Shuiyao was heartbroken, and the current emperor Xuanyuan Xinglie was even more painful.
Xuanyuan Xinglie issued an imperial edict, and all the wine shops, teahouses, gambling houses, and brothels of the Qinglong Empire were closed. All over the country, no matter you were a prince, aristocrat, or a commoner, white lanterns were hung up in every house.
The whole country mourns the only child of Xuanyuan Xinglie and Nangong Shuiyao.
The new year passed quietly.
A series of festive events such as funerals and marriages can be held, but all are prohibited for one year.
And the grand martial arts competition held by the entire Nangong clan in the capital within three years was also aborted.
And Nangong Xiaoyao told Ye Xue that the whereabouts of Nangong Qingfeng, the second elder of the Nangong clan, Nangong Wuming and the princess's eldest son, who suddenly disappeared from the General's Mansion in the capital, were also found.
——A pile of bones!
To mourn for the prince, and also to mourn for Nangong Wuming's son Nangong Qingfeng, who is outstanding among the new generation, the Nangong family will not hold this martial arts competition.
Ye Xue has to wait another three years if she wants to appear in the capital openly and openly!
"Three years!" Ye Xue smiled, "That's fine!"
**********
Three years later!
In early spring, the sun is shining brightly and the peach blossoms are brilliant.
Jinling Nangong Mansion was busy early in the morning.
Those who hitched the carriages, those who moved the carriages, those who moved things... People were coming and going, and the sound of people was buzzing.
Nangong Clan, the current head of the Nangong Clan, Nangong Wuming, is located in the capital; Jinling Nangong Mansion is the hometown of the Nangong Clan, and is now managed by Nangong Wuming’s younger brother Nangong Xiaoyao; Changzhou Nangong Mansion is Nangong Wuming’s deceased father, Mr. Nangong
The blood inheritance of the second brother; Mobei Nangong Mansion is the blood inheritance of the third brother of Old Master Nangong.
Therefore, the Qinglong Empire, the first family under the royal family, the Nangong clan, is a power group composed of the three Nangong families.
Nangong Wuming in Beijing, Xiaoyao Dafang in Nangong in Jinling, second room in Nangong Mansion in Changzhou, and third room in Nangong Mansion in Mobei.
This time, a group of people from Jinling Nangong Mansion came to Beijing to participate in the martial arts competition. It was not as grand as in previous years - all the daughters of Nangong Yi were dead, leaving only Nangong Feng, who had been in the family for a long time.
Except for Ye Xue, who has the blood of the Nangong clan, those who came to Jinling Nangong Mansion to compete with me were either outstanding servants, guards, and bodyguards from Nangong Mansion, or people from the world who were attached to Jinling Nangong Mansion.
Nangong Xiaoyao handed over everything in Jinling to his confidant and beloved general Zhang Cheng.
