40. Pregnant
Since his daughter was established as the queen, Shangguan An's status has also risen, from Yulin Ling to Cavalry Captain, and then to the current Che Cavalry General, his status is above his father, and he has actual military power in his hands, which is a veritable high position. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
- The rank of general of the chariot cavalry is second only to the general and the general of the hussar. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, generals were not often placed, and they were generally awarded seals during wartime, and the war was over, and the general of the chariot and cavalry was no exception. Since the fifth year of Yuanguang, the first emperor has been conquering the four provinces, and the armament is unremitting. And five years ago in Yuan Shuo, Wei Qing rode the general Dianjing Division and the two palace guards. Therefore, the edict of the first emperor took Jin Riyan as the general of the chariot cavalry, and Huo Guang followed this example to hand over the northern army and the two palace guards to his command.
"Your Majesty knows the power of the general of the chariot, why is he unwilling to accept it?"
In the Xiaodang Palace, the eldest princess of Hubei was puzzled and asked the Son of Heaven who insisted inexplicably.
Liu Fuling sighed deeply, glanced at the imperial sister, and said helplessly: "Wait a few more days, right?" ”
The eldest princess of Eyi no longer insisted, wiped her forehead, and was helped up by the palace people.
"The imperial sister's body is not yet at peace?" Liu Fuling asked with concern.
Although the eldest princess of Eyi put on a thick layer of powder, her spirit was obviously not good, but she still chuckled: "It's almost better......"
Seeing her say this, Liu Fuling didn't say more: "...... Take care of your ...... sister"
Looking at the obviously emaciated back of the eldest princess of Eyi, Liu Fuling pursed his lips slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but in the end, all the unspeakable thoughts slowly dissipated after all, and in the low-hanging embroidered hooves decorated by Jin Yuwei, he was still the silent and intelligent young man.

Although the southwest is still unstable, since Huo Guang does not think that the rebellion of a few barbarians needs to use generals to go to war, then the generals in the court can only continue to live a peaceful and idle life.
Shangguan An is no exception.
The general of the chariot cavalry is high and powerful, but in the end, he does not need to be responsible for specific trivial matters, and as for the country's major politics, he is not qualified to participate, so it can be said that he is extremely leisurely.
——From the beginning of leading the chariot and riding the general's seal, the most he did was to hunt and play with Ding outsiders or other nobles, and he didn't do a few things at all.
It was precisely because of this that he had to come to Huo Guang with his head stubborn.
——Who made him half-drunk and half-awake, and responded to the request of Ding Wairen and a few noble sons!
Huo Guang knew that the Shangguan family had other plans, but he had no intention of publicizing the matter, or immediately drawing a line with the Shangguan family, so Shangguan An was still welcomed into the back hall of the Huo family by the family.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Shangguan An didn't see Huo Guang, but saw a pair of mother and daughter who were arguing, and immediately stopped, not knowing whether he should move forward or not.
Jia Cheng also stopped awkwardly and saluted: "Madam...... Ji Jun ......"
- It turned out to be Huo Guang's wife......
Shangguan An glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and lowered his head very respectfully.
——After the death of the Donglu clan, Huo Guang naturally took the mother of his only son as Mrs. Boluhou.
Shangguan An is not the biological mother who has never met his brother-in-law, but he taught his daughter before Beitang...... Although the Shangguan family is not a Shijue Gaomen, Shangguan An has really never encountered this kind of thing......
Hearing Jia Cheng's voice, Xian Ji immediately turned around, and frowned when she saw Shangguan An: "It's Shangguan Langjun...... I heard that Lang Jun is already a general of the chariot cavalry...... If Daji is still ......"
The noble lady in a red brocade dress felt sorry for the deceased, which made Shangguan An's face change suddenly.
- How dare she?!
After all, it was in the Huo family, Shangguan An didn't have an immediate seizure, and he didn't even look up at Xianji. Jia Cheng couldn't help but speak, he said to the hostess very seriously: "Madam, Shangguan Langjun is here to see the general. ”
He is a subordinate, and he can't evaluate the hostess's behavior, so he can only remind him so tactfully.
Jia Cheng is the old man of the Huo family, and Xian Ji doesn't dare to go too far, so she snorted coldly and grabbed her daughter's arm and walked to the west courtyard, making the little girl cry out in pain, and seeing that Shangguan An frowned even tighter.
Jia Cheng shook his head, welcomed Da Ji's husband into the north hall, and let the maid serve in the hall, and then he confessed his guilt and went to report to the head of the family.
Shangguan An thought that Huo Guang must be unhappy to see him, and he must have dried himself for a while, but unexpectedly, after a while, Huo Guang came with his family, only wearing a home coat, and he came in a hurry.
"No need to be polite!" While Huo Guang was seated, he casually signaled to Shangguan An that he didn't have to get up and salute.
Although Huo Guang said so, Shangguan An still saluted in a proper manner before sitting down again.
Huo Guang didn't stop him, but just signaled to Jia Cheng to send everyone out of the North Hall, and then said lightly: "I haven't come to the door for a long time, An must have something important today!" ”
Shangguan An was stunned for a moment, and the wording he had originally thought of was completely useless, so he could only get straight to the point: "Listen to Ding Junyan, my father asked for a knighthood for him the day before yesterday, and the general did not allow ......" Seeing Huo Guang acting like this, how could he dare to mention a few other children of the eunuchs who were nothing, so he could only pull out the eldest princess's private fortune as a topic.
"Exactly!" Huo Guang's face sank, "Non-military merit is not a covenant of the ancestors!" ”
Weng has been a son-in-law for many years, and Shangguan An can't see that Huo Guang has been angry, but if he is entrusted by others, if he can't do anything, he will not have face, so he gritted his teeth and suggested carefully: "So, how about granting an official position like Doctor Guanglu?" After all, he is the one who serves the eldest princess, and he doesn't even have the identity to be called to see him...... It's not like words! ”
As he spoke, Huo Guang's face became more and more ugly, and Shangguan An saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately ended the topic, but it still made Huo Guang furious.
"What do you do on weekdays!" Huo Guang slapped the curly foot paint case in front of him fiercely, and asked angrily, "I came here to see me specifically for this kind of thing?" ”
Shangguan An was taken aback by his angry reprimand, and in addition to being frightened, he was still a little confused by Huo Guang's reprimand.
- Something sounds wrong.
After the angry reprimand, Huo Guang suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Officials and lords are all official weapons of the imperial court, and they choose merit, benevolence, and virtue...... It's not a thing to give someone an identity! ”
Where did Shangguan An dare to refute?
He listened to his teachings without saying a word, only to feel that his ears were buzzing, and Huo Guang's words were completely unintelligible—and he didn't need to understand, anyway, it couldn't be an answer.
After a lesson, Huo Guang also felt tired, after all, the eldest daughter had passed away, and Shangguan An was not a serious son-in-law, so he snorted coldly and finally ended the lesson: "You have the time to think about others, it's better to think about your own family first!" Let's go back! ”
The last two sentences, Shangguan An still heard clearly, immediately saluted and left, and when he left the gate of the Huo family, he remembered that he had returned in vain, and he couldn't help but feel upset, and then remembered Huo Guang's lesson, and a few fragmented words that appeared in his mind made him suddenly have a bad premonition.
"Go home!" Turning over the horse, Shangguan An casually explained, and regardless of the entourage, he raised the whip to drive the horse, and went away, and several entourages reacted for a long time, and hurriedly went to chase their son-in-law.

"What!?"
As soon as he entered the house, before entering the main hall, Shangguan An had already heard his mother's anxious nagging, and the message made him immediately burst into flames.
Syllable!
Shangguan Ji slapped the lacquer case fiercely and taught his son a sharp lesson: "Come in!" What a system to shout and shout about! ”
Shangguan An hurriedly took off his duties and entered the main hall, and asked his father anxiously: "Ah Weng, is the message true?" ”
Shangguan Ji nodded coldly: "The news that the Imperial Physician Supervisor has just come to report in person, there will be no mistake!" ”
He Chongguo, the eunuch, is friendly with Shangguan Ji's wife and father, and he will not lie to them in this kind of matter.
"Zhou Yang Bazi!" Shangguan An gritted his teeth angrily, "I just said that this woman can't stay!" ”
Shangguan Ji's wife also echoed one after another, making Shangguan Ji frown, and scolded the mother and son fiercely: "Is it useful to say this?" The granddaughter can't be favored, and we can still stop the lord from not favoring the harem! Absurd! An'er, your mother is a woman's opinion, are you also confused? ”
Shangguan An did not admit his mistake at all, but he still calmed down his anger and said to his father as calmly as possible: "Whoever the Lord wants to favor, we naturally can't stop it!" However, the eldest son of the emperor cannot be from the Zhou Yang clan! ”
——Zhou Yang Bazi was diagnosed with a happy pulse in the routine pulse request of the Imperial Medical Department.
This is also the proper meaning, judging from the number of times Zhou Yang's favor has been favored, it is strange that there is a pregnancy prescription so far.
Shangguan Jian didn't pay attention to this matter, but his wife kept talking, and now Shangguan An also reacted like this, and he felt even more upset.
"What is there to fight for the eldest son of the emperor! The queen is still young, and she will naturally be the prince when she gives birth to a prince in the future! Shangguan Ji impatiently reprimanded his son.
"A-Weng is wrong!" Shangguan An corrected very seriously, "If it is other harems, it is naturally the case, but who is Zhou Yang's family?" That is the person chosen by the eldest princess, originally as a candidate for the queen, if she gives birth to the eldest son of the emperor, who knows if the eldest princess will support him as the crown prince? ”
Shangguan Ji thought about it for a while, and couldn't help nodding: "What you said makes sense!" ”
Shangguan Ji's wife also said: "That's what I meant. Didn't those ancient books also say, 'The Son is more precious than the Mother, and the Mother is more precious than the Son'? The Bo family and the Chen family were all deposed as childless! ”
Although it is a woman's opinion, it is also quite a bit of strong rhetoric, but the harem affairs are women's affairs, and what Mrs. Anyang Hou said is also true, at least, the lessons from the past are really not far away......
- Those two of them have made a decision......
Shangguan Ji narrowed his eyes and carefully calculated.
- The Son of Heaven is only thirteen years old...... Don't be in a hurry......
- Isn't it?
"In that case, it's better to have one less eighth son in the harem...... Shangguan Ji said softly, "It's just, how to do it?" ”
There was silence in the middle of the main hall.
- Harem ...... It is not a place where courtiers can easily intervene......
“…… I'll go see the general again......" Shangguan An proposed in a low voice, "listen to what he just said...... It shouldn't be a problem......"
"You're from the Huo family?" Shangguan Ji was stunned for a moment, and then asked sharply: "What are you going to do?" ”
"It's okay! It's okay! ......" Shangguan An jumped up and rushed out of the house, where did he dare to tell the truth?
Shangguan An, who went straight out of the house, didn't see the main hall, and Shangguan Ji's face was even more gloomy.
