Chapter 36: A Small Ripple on Her Birthday 4

  "I knew about Dugu Taizi and Nangong Gongzhu. Why didn't you tell me in advance? Such a sudden question, I'm a bit at a loss." Nalan Xianyu and Huangfu Ling walked side by side, Nalan Xianyu's tone was not good.

  "Haha, how could there be anything difficult for Nalan Xinnuo?" Huangfu Lingguan laughed, seemingly trying to gloss over the issue.

  "Or perhaps it's because you're the second prince and you suddenly feel a bit bored, wanting to watch a play." Nalan Xianuo said coldly.

  "Sorry, don't be angry. I just didn't think that much." Huangfu Ling is now in an extremely good mood. Although Nalan Xianyu is a bit angry, his purpose has been achieved, hasn't it?

  "Alright. Tell me about my relationship with them and also the king's brother, Nangong Jin. Why do I need to find him."

  "I'm not very clear about this either. I only know that you used to know Nan Gong Yan before. As for his older brother, I'm not very sure." Huang Fu Ling said vaguely.

  "Never mind. People can't live in the past. I just hope that as my friend, you'll think more about me in the future. If today's events had been prepared for earlier, it wouldn't have been so chaotic even with a good explanation." Nalan Xixi sighed inwardly. Now, it seems to be resolved.

  "Alright." Huangfu Ling let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

  On the second day of the birthday celebration, Nangong Yan claimed that she was unwell and couldn't attend the banquet. She hoped that Huangfu Song would understand.

  Huang Fu Song returned to the princess's body being tight. Later, he also sent an imperial physician to diagnose and treat her.

  Nalan Xixi sat in the seat with some unease, the blow brought to Nangong Yan was really big, if Nangong Jin knew about it, she would be worried.

  "I am truly delighted today." The banquet was halfway through, and the ministers were all slightly drunk. Huangfu Song's face also had a faint red glow. "General Nalan, the pillar of our country's family..."

  "Your Majesty is overpraising." Nalan Xiong didn't know what Huanfu Song suddenly meant by mentioning himself, so he could only helplessly reply.

  "General Nalan, today I'm giving you the authority. All the young ladies from the Liang State who are of marrying age, including any minister's daughter, are yours to choose from. As long as you like her. If you can't make up your mind, I'll help you pick one." As soon as Emperor Huafu finished speaking, the ministers began to flatter and echo in agreement.

  Nalan Xixi was taken aback for a moment, looking at Huangfu Ling with a puzzled face. Huangfu Ling shook his head and spread out his hands, indicating that he also didn't know anything about it.

  The emperor didn't rush to arrange a marriage for his son, but instead actively sought to find a match for himself. Nalan Xianyu thought about it briefly. There was only one reason: Huangfu Song valued her highly and wanted to use their marriage to tie herself tightly to the Liang dynasty, forever bound to serve it. In some sense, this could also be considered a good thing.

  "His Majesty is worried. Speaking of the woman he has a crush on, I actually have someone in mind." Nalan Xingde decided to take advantage of the situation.

  Huang Pu's eyes widened suddenly. What was Nalan Xixi doing? She was a woman, after all. If she were to marry, she would inevitably be exposed.

  "Oh, so General Nalan already has someone in mind. I wonder which family's daughter is the lucky one." Huanfu Song was completely delighted. He hadn't expected that Nalan Xianyu really had someone he liked. This way, it would be easy to keep him in Lianxiang country.

  "She may not be a noble's daughter, nor was she born into an ordinary family, but she is one of the few women who are truly rare in this world." Nalan Xianyu deliberately paused for a moment before glancing mischievously at the back of Huangfu Ling. "She is the maid of the Second Prince, Ruo Yue."

  As soon as the words fell, the banquet hall suddenly burst into a commotion. The ministers were all discussing and saying that the door was not suitable for the house.

  Stunned on the spot as soon as he held her hand. Had he become a pawn in Nalan Xinnuo's hands once again? He had always been forced to play along with her act.

  Huang Pu's face changed from doubt to a pleased smile. Nalan Xianyu, indeed has wisdom and strategy. With Yuan Yue by her side, Father Emperor won't think of ways to make her marry someone else anymore. Yuan Yue is truly the most suitable candidate.

  "A maid......" Huang Fu furrowed his brow, clearly not very accepting.

  "Mo Shuai has said it before. She was born ordinary. Mo Shuai doesn't mind." Nalan Xixi advised.

  "I know, but this birth is not ordinary... it's..." The following words were swallowed back when Huangfu Song met Nalan Xinnuo's gaze. After all, saying such things about someone else's loved one would only provoke them and be disadvantageous to oneself.

  "Your Majesty, please agree to this. I guarantee that Ruan Yue's character and moral integrity are absolutely good. Otherwise, General Nalan would not have taken a liking to her. If Your Majesty feels that Ruan Yue's status is not suitable for marrying the great general, then you can grant her a title such as princess or something similar." Huangfu Ling advised from the side. It seems that this marriage has been settled.

  "What you said makes sense." Huang Fu Song nodded. Only by letting those with feelings end up together will Nalan Xiongno stay wholeheartedly in the United States of Imagine. Moreover, Yuan Yue is a person beside Huang Fu Ling. Then Nalan Xiongno will also definitely stay in the United States of Imagine forever. "Then it's settled. I confer upon Yuan Yue the title of Princess Yuan Yue. Choose an auspicious day and let General Nalan and Princess Yuan Yue get married."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty." Nalan Xixi clasped her hands together and half-knelt down to express her gratitude.

  Huang Pu Ling turned his head and glanced at Wan Yue faintly. Wan Yue also came back to her senses from her daze, hastily knelt on the ground. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

  Nangong Yan's blood and energy attacked her heart. She was already in poor health, and now she was completely bedridden and unable to get up.

  Huo replaced Nangong Yan like Huangfu Song asking to resign and return to the palace for good care.

  As soon as I left the palace gate, I heard the news that Nalan Xianyu was about to get married, which had been circulating widely.

  "When the day is chosen, they will get married. That maid is really lucky to be favored by the general." Woman No. 1 said with a gossipy and envious expression.

  "Attendant. Isn't she a princess?" Woman No. 2 asked.

  "Don't you know? This Princess Wanyue is actually the maid by the side of the Second Prince. The Emperor only made her a princess for the sake of appearances." Woman Number One had an expression that said she knew everything.

  "Ah, that maid is really lucky. I heard General Nalan and the Second Prince are quite close. Maybe that's how she got to know the maid." Woman No. 2 analyzed.

  "It's like... I must have accumulated good fortune from past lives..."

  "What's going on here?" He Xian asked, listening to the discussions around him.

  "How would I know? But I believe the princess." Huo furrowed his brow, feeling that everything was going according to Nalan Xinnuo's own step-by-step plan.

  "What you said is right. We just need to believe in the princess. She absolutely didn't really lose her memory..." He Xian muttered.

  "Keep your voice down." Huo Zhi glared at him fiercely. "Your words are being overheard. If they bring any trouble to the princess, it won't be good."

  He didn't unexpectedly quarrel with Huo, but instead obediently shut his mouth. "To be honest, when I saw Princess Nangong being stimulated to such an extent, the princess still had a calm and unruffled expression. At that time, I really doubted it a bit..."

  "Don't discuss this topic anymore." Huo looked around and said, "The top priority now is to hurry back and let the princess take good care of herself. If Master returns and sees Princess Nangong in this state, we'll both be held responsible."

  "What's wrong? Sniffed a bit. "I miss Master so much."

  He shot him a white glance and didn't say anything.

  "What... marriage..." Nan Gong Jin, who had just left the Medical Immortal Island, was so enraged by Nalan Xian's news that he almost fainted again.

  Murong Taohou stood beside Nan Gongjin, not knowing what to say. This Nalan Xianuo's way of doing things, although different from Shangguan Qinyin, had the same effect - making everyone confused...

  "No way." Nangong Jin's eyebrows slightly furrowed. Then he turned to the two island servant girls who were escorting them and said, "Please send Mother back to Luotian safely." Although they were just servant girls, their martial arts skills were also top-notch. Nangong Jin was very reassured.

  Those two maids nodded.

  "Prince."

  "Mother, listen to me. You go back first. Swallow must be missing you. Anyway, I was going to go to the United States of Fantasy later. Now it's just a bit earlier than expected. After you go back, He Xian and the other two, leave one person in Luo Tian, then let the other two come to the United States of Fantasy to find me. I can't wait any longer." Nan Gong Jin was anxious like burning fire. He wanted to see Nalan Xian Nu. This guy, previously almost became Swallow's husband, now also wants to become the husband of the United States of Fantasy. He wanted to stop him. Women were not allowed either. He would be jealous. Nalan Xian Nu could only stay by Nan Gong Jin's side from now on.

  "Be sure to pay attention to safety and take good care of yourself." Murong Taifei reminded him. Since he couldn't be persuaded, she let him go.

  Huangfu Song set a date for Nalan Xinnuo's wedding on the second day, and they would get married in twenty days.

  "Haha. What a pity. You're being wronged by marrying a woman, ah." Huangfu Ling had been laughing non-stop since he received this news.

  "It's a pity that Yuan Yue has been wronged, marrying a woman." Nalan Xinnuo said lightly. After losing his memory, Nalan Xinnuo had an indifferent relationship with Yuan Yue.

  "For your sake, I can do anything." Yuè bowed her head and replied obediently.

  "Please step aside for a moment, I have something to say to Huangfu Ling." Nalan Xianyu said suddenly.

  She looked up at Huangfu Ling with a glance, waiting for Huangfu Ling's meaning. Because she was Huangfu Ling's dead soldier, only listening to his words.

  Huang Pu Ling nodded her head slightly. Yuan Yue immediately disappeared from their line of sight.

  "Your moon-pulling lightness skill is getting better and better." Nalan Xixi said calmly.

  "Of course. Every day must have progress. Only then can it be considered my Huangfu Ling's dead soldier." Huangfu Ling smiled, with an expression of unwavering confidence on his face.

  "She is also very obedient." Her every move was completely under Nalan Xinnuo's eyes, her loyalty unparalleled.

  "What do you want to say." Huangfu Ling felt something was off. Why did it always revolve around Yuan Yue's topic.

  "Do you know how Yuan Yue feels about you?" Nalan Xixiao asked without hesitation, not out of concern for Yuan Yue, but simply out of curiosity. The more he knew, the more important it was for him to grasp the situation.
