Chapter 24: Deception
CHAPTER XXIV
Escorted by the prince's guards, Runrun and Lu Qinglan returned to the Bachelor's Mansion smoothly.
And the Anguo Marquis Mansion is not so peaceful.
Wu Shao and Wu Xian were surrounded and sent back, and the few family members they brought with them were even beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and they were tied up and followed aside.
As soon as the porter of the Hou Mansion saw this situation, he hurriedly reported the situation inside.
As soon as An Guohou heard this, he immediately came out with people.
As soon as the door opened, Wu Xian felt like he had seen a savior, and wanted to run under the noses of the guards.
The guards wanted to stop her, but the second prince reached out to block her.
An Guohou is not stupid, at this time, let people pull aside the crying girl who was out of breath.
"I've seen Master Hou!" The commander Sun Lie hugged his fist at An Guohou, "On the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, send the princess of the mansion back to the house." ”
The second prince nodded to him and shouted, 'Hou Ye An', which was regarded as a greeting.
In fact, speaking of which, the second prince should call him 'uncle', but the two only occasionally take a photo in the palace during the New Year's holidays, and it is obvious that the second prince really doesn't take his relatives to heart.
An Guohou didn't care about his half-grown child, who didn't know that even the emperor and queen had a headache because of this. What he was worried about was what these two unscrupulous things were doing outside to provoke the prince.
He doesn't care about a prince, but when it comes to the prince, it's a matter of life and death!
Marquis An Guohou clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "I also ask Commander Sun to reply to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to forgive his sins." I will definitely discipline these two children well in the future! ”
An Guohou is more than half a hundred years old, although he is also well-maintained and not very old, but Wu Shao and Wu Xian, the two siblings next to him, do not look like her children, but like his grandchildren.
The second prince's eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed again, "I've been standing for so long, why don't my uncle say that I will drink saliva." ”
As he spoke, he hugged Wu Shao's shoulders affectionately, "Let's go, and take me to see your Anguo Marquis Mansion." ”
Poor Wu Shao was obviously more than a head taller than the second prince, but at this time he had to lower his body to accommodate him.
An Guohou is no longer able to receive the truth, and he is not counting on it, and he can't see the soldiers and Tan Jing.
But the carved beams and paintings in the Hou Mansion are very magnificent, which is more exaggerated than the palaces of several uncles who have been to the second prince. Of course, this is not a positive one, but a derogatory one. There is a smell of soil everywhere in this house, and the gold paint is almost painted all over the place.
After walking around, the second prince returned to the main hall satisfied.
Sun Lie was concentrating on sipping tea, and An Guohou was next to him and stopped, obviously wanting the other party to say good things to his two children, but after all, he didn't know what was going on yet.
Sun Lie's family has some friendship with the Wu family, so he mentioned it softly, "Ling Yan is arrogant and arrogant, which has made our prince unhappy." ”
An Guohou slapped his thigh, this stinky girl! I really can't wait to let people drag Wu Xian over immediately to serve in the family law. He wanted to clean up several times at home with this arrogant and domineering character, and each time he was protected by her brother and aunt, and An Guohou himself loved these children who only got in his later years, so he became more and more spoiled by the two of them.
Sun Lie stopped talking, and then the old monk was calm, closing his eyes, as if he was asleep.
As soon as the second prince stepped into the main hall, he opened his eyes.
The maid served tea, and the second prince knew that this new tea was no worse than the one in the palace. He didn't have anything to say to An Guohou, so he casually said a few words, and then took Sun Lie back to the palace.
An Guohou personally sent the two to the door, and after the carriage went away, An Guohou's face with a little smile immediately tightened.
At this age, he rarely gets angry over trivial things, but when he is really angry, it is always others who suffer.
Re-entered the house, An Guohou pointed to the two brothers and sisters Wu Shao and Wu Xian who were kneeling on the ground and scolded: "Do you know who you have offended?" Two things that don't have long eyes! ”
Mrs. An Guohou also came out at this time, and in front of the people in the room, she said nonchalantly: "My aunt gave birth to it, and it really can't be on the stage." ”
An Guohou's face turned blue again.
If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. An Guohou couldn't give birth and didn't allow him to take a concubine, he would have no heirs in his prime, so that his children haven't grown up to this age?
Mrs. An Guohou seemed to be accustomed to his face, brushed her hair in a neat bun, and instructed the maid: "Go, Yan'er, help Mrs. Me." Don't make me guess anything. He waved his hand in front of his nose with a handkerchief in disgust. Then she walked away slowly, as if it was not her family business, but just a piece of gossip about the long and short west.
Wu Shao was so calm that he only pursed his lips and didn't speak, Wu Xian's face was full of tears, and he still choked up and said: "It's just that I want to buy other people's materials at a high price, what's the matter...... Even if it's a disaster, it's me who broke into it alone, and if my father wants to blame me, I'll blame it alone! ”
Looking at her appearance of 'unreasonable and unforgiving, unreasonable stirring up three points', An Guohou is really angry, this has nothing to do with what happened in the first place, it is only related to her rampant and domineering in the name of 'An Guohou Mansion'! He asked the housekeeper to take the family law at once, ready to give them a long memory!
made such a big commotion, Wu Shao and Wu Xian's biological mother, Aunt Huan, also came out.
Aunt Huan is in her thirties, with a graceful demeanor, and her body and face definitely don't look like a biological mother with two children as old. It may also be because of this that she can stand out among many aunts and become An Guohou's favorite one.
"Master Hou, Master Hou, if you want to beat me, just beat me, it's me who has no way to teach." Aunt Huan didn't cry when she came in, but walked to An Guohou's side, hanging her head and pinching the hem of his clothes.
An Guohou is tall, from his angle, he can just see Aunt Huan's pitiful delicate face and the ups and downs on her chest, and then look at the table She is dressed in light green clothes, and her slender waist is not full of hand, like a freshly blooming lotus. Thinking that the two of them were still messing around in the study the night before, An Guohou couldn't get angry, so he only snorted heavily and brushed his sleeves away.
Aunt Huan also put away her sadness and instructed the maid of life: "Why don't you help my brother and sister up quickly?" ”
The maid responded and helped the two brothers and sisters whose legs had been kneeling until they were numb.
Wu Xian was still sobbing quietly, Aunt Huan felt sorry for her, and personally took her back.
"During this time, I will stay in Zhuangzi and come back when your father is angry."
As soon as Wu Xian heard that he was going to live in Zhuangzi, where birds don't, he stopped doing it at that time, and he was about to be distressed again.
Aunt Huan hugged her and patted her comfortingly, and asked her softly, "Do you want people to plug your mouth and stuff you in the car, or do you want your mother to send you over herself?" ”
Wu Xian was startled, and Aunt Huan reacted at this time, and she used what she did to others on her daughter. Alas, it was she who protected her too well, and she didn't have a long heart at all, which caused trouble. Although it's not a big deal, it's unpredictable, who knows if you will have a bad heart in the future-
And in the bachelor's mansion, it is another happy scene.
The room was full of people, the old lady, Ye Ling, Lu Qinglan, Su Shi, and a few children were all there.
Runrun stood in the middle and told them how the prince had dropped a cup, and so many powerful people came, and he frightened the people who were going to do something to them.
Ye Ling had a headache, last time the prince was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he pretended not to know, and let it run his mouth
'Ruyi's cousin' shouted wildly, shouting that she has now become her own cousin.
Runrun is performing the part where the prince is about to drop the cup, but she forgot what the prince said about pigs and dogs, and it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as everyone can understand it.
Ye Ling coughed lightly and said, "Runrun, my father has told you many times, you can't call your cousin, you have to call your prince." ”
"You don't know how powerful the prince's cousin is. They didn't move when they came in, and the bad guys put down their clubs themselves. ”
Purlin: ......-
In the palace, the crown prince was accompanying the emperor to write.
The emperor wrote the word 'forbearance', and he asked the prince: "Ah Xi, what do you think of the word "I?" ”
When the emperor did not set up a prince in the past, he was also an idle prince who was proficient in 'piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea', and he was quite popular with everyone.
The crown prince said sincerely: "The words of my father, if you say something arrogant, if you don't knock on your jade seal, it can be worth a thousand gold." ”
When the emperor heard this, he shook his head and smiled, "My handwriting is still not good enough, and An Guohou is the real master." ”
The prince was not surprised that his father knew what he had encountered when he went out with his younger brother, but it was strange why his father suddenly said that this marquis was coming.
"After Tai Zu died violently, your grandfather immediately fought for the world, and Lao An Guohou was one of the deputy generals. After your grandfather sat down in the country, he wanted to unload their military power, and he was also the first Marquis of Lao An to take the initiative to put down the tiger talisman. After several changes, the old ministers of the humerus walked and died, and only a few families remained. Among them, the most resentful one is probably pointing out your grandmother's sister with inconvenient legs and feet to An Guohou, who was still a prince at the time...... Throughout, the family did not put up any resistance. Wu'er, do you say that An Guohou's word 'forbearance' is written very well? ”
The emperor deliberately used the titles 'your grandfather' and 'your grandmother' so that the crown prince would not feel too cold. There is no emotion to talk about in the struggle for power. Really speaking, Emperor Taizu is still from a commoner in cloth, and he has gone all the way to the position of the most powerful person in the world, how can he not use some means?
The prince was at a loss for a while, he stood up for Runrun today because he felt that the brothers and sisters of the Wu family were bullying people by being born in the Marquis of Anguo. But it turned out that the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion was repeatedly forced into a desperate situation, and that person was still his grandfather? So what is he doing now, bullying people as a prince? What's the difference with them...... The relationship is like that of an Ouroboros.
The emperor patted him on the shoulder, "Treat this family, my father can only tell you, stay away and be on guard." As for the rest, think for yourself. ”
