Chapter 35: The Old Story Revisited 2
The two most proud protégés of Mrs. Zhang's life are Yanchang Emperor Yan Tian and Ouyang Ye's father, General Ouyang. One has become the master of Yan Country, and the other has defended the territory of Yan Country, and having such a protégé is the greatest blessing in Zhang Cheng's life.
It's just that the old general Ouyang lost his wife at a young age, and he never married again, and he was busy with military affairs on weekdays, Ouyang Ye and his sister Ouyang Xining were thrown by the old general Ouyang in Zhangfu and handed over to Mrs. Yurong to take care of them since they were young. In Ouyang Ye's heart, Mrs. Yurong is no different from his mother, and Zhang Feiruo grew up with Ouyang Xining and Ouyang Ye since she was a child, just like Ouyang Ye's sister.
Ouyang Xining has been the crown prince and concubine that Yan Tian pointed out to Yan Bo since she was a child, because of Ouyang Xining, Yan Bo and Ouyang Ye have had a good relationship since childhood.
In this way, when Yan Bo played with Ouyang Xining and Ouyang Ye, it was inevitable that he would sometimes bring Zhang Feiruo, and after coming and going, Yan Tian and Zhang Feiruo became acquainted.
Ouyang Ye and Zhang Feiruo are the same age, Yan Bo is one year older than Ouyang Xining, and three years older than Ouyang Ye and Zhang Feiruo.
Yan Bo is not worthy of the title of "Brother Prince", any interesting things on weekdays will be distributed to Ouyang Xining, Ouyang Ye and Zhang Feiruo without hesitation, if sometimes the three of them accidentally break into any trouble, no matter how big the guilt is, it is the black pot on Yan Bo's back.
For this reason, Yan Bo was also reprimanded by Yan Tian many times, saying that he was the dignified prince of Yan Guo but did not look like a prince, and he only knew how to behave all day long, and Yan Bo was even punished by Yan Tian and thought about it behind closed doors. But after the punishment, Yan Bo still played with Ouyang Xining, Ouyang Ye, and Zhang Feiruo, and Yan Bo was still alone when he did something wrong.
The four of them have always had a good relationship in childhood, Yan Bo and Ouyang Xining, Ouyang Ye and Zhang Fei can be said to be real childhood sweethearts and bamboo horses, Yan Bo and Ouyang Ye are brothers who are like siblings......
"Then I really want to thank Your Highness for taking care of the past so much! Your Highness really deserves to be a good son of the noble concubine! This style of behavior is simply the same. It is really beyond people's reach! Presumably, the noble concubine should be very pleased to have such a 'heroic' son as His Royal Highness! But since I have said this, then I have to ask, why didn't I see that His Royal Highness also cared about the past? If it weren't for His Highness's insistence on going his own way. If you refuse to listen to Aunt Rong's advice, why would you invite such a catastrophe!!" Ouyang Ye didn't appreciate Yan Bo's magnanimity at all, because he had nowhere to vent his resentment that had been backlogged for five years!
For what happened five years ago, Ouyang Ye has always felt. If Yan Bo hadn't listened to Mrs. Yurong's dissuasion at that time, he would have to marry Zhang Feiruo as the prince's side concubine, and Zhang Feiruo would not have died in the raging fire of the prince's East Palace.
Ouyang Ye even felt that since Yan Tian, His Majesty, wanted to defend Yan Bo wholeheartedly, and refused to give the Zhang family and Zhang Fei a justice, then this justice would be up to him Ouyang Ye to ask for!
Mrs. Yurong treats Ouyang Ye and her sister Ouyang Xining like a parent and daughter, even if Ouyang Ye's love for Zhang Feiruo is not said, just saying that Zhang Feiruo is the only daughter of Mrs. Yurong, Ouyang Ye feels that he must seek justice for Zhang Feiruo. Because he is worthy of the grace of Mrs. Yurong's nurturing and caring for him!
In the past five years, as long as Ouyang Ye sees Yan Bo, no matter what the occasion, he will find all kinds of ways to oppose Yan Bo, whether it is cynicism or drawing a sword, Ouyang Ye has never retreated once because Yan Bo is the prince of Yan Kingdom.
Even above the court, there was Emperor Yanchang Yan Tian and the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs of Yan State, Ouyang Ye still targeted Yan Bo as if no one was around. Again and again, even Yan Tian and the ministers of civil and military affairs were accustomed to it.
"Ouyang Ye, why should the old grudge between you and me involve my mother and concubine!" Listening to Ouyang Ye's sarcasm about the imperial concubine, Yan Bo's anger rose to a higher level.
For what happened five years ago, Yan Bo knew that he was wrong. But who knows, how would he want to cause such a result?
In the past five years, Yan Bo has always thought: All of them are suffering, so who can he tell about his suffering?
Because of that incident, all the attendants of nearly 100 people in the Prince's East Palace were killed with rods, and dozens of them were attendants who had been serving Yan Bo since childhood. There are old people who watched Yan Bo grow up. There are also young eunuchs who have been sent to Yan Bo since childhood, and they are all people who have served Yan Bo's food, clothing, and sleeping since childhood, and accompanied Yan Bo to grow up. However, such a close servant was implicated for no reason and died in Huangquan, Yan Bo was also heartbroken!
Just because of that incident, the husband and wife who were originally in love with the plaice gradually became estranged. In the past two years, Ouyang Xining has been reluctant to see Yan Bo. Ouyang Xining put all his thoughts on how to help Empress Lu Xun manage the Six Palaces and teach his young son Yan Chenyu.
What's even more excessive is that during the day, as long as Yan Bo is in the Prince's East Palace, Ouyang Xining will find all kinds of reasons to run to the palace of Queen Lu Xun or other mothers, and when Yan Bo leaves, Ouyang Xining will come back. At night, even if Yan Bo and Ouyang Xining slept in the same bed, Ouyang Xining was unwilling to say a word to Yan Bo.
Just because of that incident, Ouyang Ye, a brother who has been like siblings since childhood, and Yan Bo have turned against each other, and they have been against Yan Bo everywhere for five years, pressing step by step, but Yan Bo can't scold or beat, because Yan Bo knows that Ouyang Ye has resentment and anger in his heart, and Yan Bo knows that the source of this resentment is him.
He was wrong, but was he really so wrong?
With a sneer, Ouyang Ye said in a cold tone: "Your Highness, didn't you forget the despicable things that your highness did back then?"
"You ......" was sarcastically ridiculed by Ouyang Ye in such a yin and yang weird way, Yan Bo didn't know how to answer for a while. Ouyang Ye is going to turn over the rhythm of old accounts!
But he saw that Ouyang Ye looked at Yan Qingqiu, who had been standing quietly staring at him and Yan Bo opposite him, his eyes softened, but his tone was still cold: "Princess, she should have enjoyed the supreme glory and wealth in Yan Country, and enjoyed the favor of Her Majesty and the Empress Mother, if it weren't for the gift of the noble concubine, how could she have come to this point?
As soon as Ouyang Ye's words fell, Mrs. Yurong, who had never spoken on the side, suddenly shouted: "Ouyang Ye!"
Looking at Mrs. Yurong who was standing beside Yan Qingqiu, Ouyang Ye, an iron-blooded general who had been honed in the army for more than ten years, actually had a little red eyes: "Aunt Rong, I don't have as much patience as you, I can endure it for so many years without pursuing it." I said back then, as long as His Majesty doesn't give the Zhang family justice to Ruo'er for a day, I won't give up for a day. But I also know when it's time to rein. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yurong became even more annoyed: "Then what do you want to do when you say these things today! These are all things in the past, everyone has forgotten about them, why do you mention them again and again!"
Being reprimanded by Mrs. Yurong like this, Ouyang Ye became even more sad: "Forgot? Ruo'er is your only child! Ruo'er is gone, the most distressing and uncomfortable person is you! Can you really forget? Yes, I didn't want to mention these old things to hurt your heart, but look at him!" Ouyang Ye raised his hand to Yan Bo and said angrily: "Today is the princess's wedding day, if it weren't for his mother, why would the princess come to this point! But he came to marry the princess, what kind of heart do you say he has!"
"No matter what kind of heart he has, you can't mention the past in front of the princess!" At first, Mrs. Yurong was still a little angry, but as soon as the voice changed, Mrs. Yurong was also a little choked: "Whether it is Ruo'er's business or the princess's own business, which one is the princess's sad thing, you have mentioned it again and again, the most sad thing is not me, it is the princess!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Ye put down the hand pointing at Yan Bo, turned to look at Yan Qingqiu, and said in the same choked tone: "When I first met the princess, although she was only four years old, she was so lively and cheerful, with the same intelligence as Ruo'er, you also know how much Ruo'er likes her! At that time, the princess would still follow behind me and Ruo'er, calling me 'Brother Ye' and Ruo'er 'Sister Ruo', but now? Just because of the concubine Niangniang, the princess can no longer speak, and she can no longer appear in front of people openly, just because she can't let the people of Yan know that their favorite princess is actually a mute! You, and I both knew that she poisoned the princess, but there was no evidence, and because of the high power of the Da clan, His Majesty was helpless against her, and let her be in the six palaces, under the eyes of the queen for so many years!"
"Ah Ye, don't say it, these are old things, I've forgotten about it, I really forgot about it......" was reminded by Ouyang Ye again and again, and the past began to be projected one by one, and Mrs. Yurong at this moment no longer had so much strength to reprimand Ouyang Ye, she just begged Ouyang Ye not to say it again, really stop talking about it......
When Ouyang Ye heard this, he said angrily: "Aunt Rong, you are always so cowardly, that's why Ruo'er will ...... As the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, he really deserves to be the son of Daxi, and he has learned all the despicable methods of his mother and concubine! If it weren't for him, how could Ruo'er be buried in the fire and have no bones! Okay, don't talk about it, let's just say that the princess is married today, and he still has the face to give the marriage, (to be continued.) )
