Chapter 303: Worried
In the Protector's Mansion, the family sent off the eunuchs who came to issue the decree, but the atmosphere was a little solemn.
The old man sat in the first place, and his face had always been a little thoughtful.
In the early years, when he was bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield, he was unfortunately cut off by an enemy general, and he endured hunger and cold in the wilderness for several days, almost dying.
Although he was rescued by his subordinates, he fell into the problem of the old cold leg, and when it was gloomy and rainy, the remaining leg and the joints of the body always had indescribable soreness and discomfort.
Therefore, after the eldest son, Meng Tang, returned, he gave up the position of Guogong to his son, and he would only come forward when there was something important in the family.
Today's protector Meng Tang is in the prime of life, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a burly figure, a dignified appearance, and a great general's demeanor, even if for so many years, there is no war in the northwest, the world is peaceful, and he has never led troops to go out again, but the good habits he has developed every day still keep his figure in the most fit state.
His face did not show a smile because his eldest daughter was assigned to marry the sixth prince who was now the most important emperor in the dynasty.
However, the ladies talked about it with relish, and felt that it was a matter of course for the eldest daughter of the Protectorate Mansion to marry the sixth prince, so they didn't understand why the two heads of the family were worried.
"Father, husband, it is a good thing that Yue'er can be assigned to marry the sixth prince, why are you so unhappy?" Meng Guanyue's biological mother, Feng Yuyao asked puzzled.
The old man sighed deeply, did not answer, and only said to his wife: "I'm tired!" β
The old lady immediately got up and found the little guy who carried the sedan chair. helped him into the sedan chair and left with her husband first.
"Congratulations to my father and mother!" Meng Tang immediately got up, and Feng Yuyao and another thin woman in gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes, but with no frowns, also immediately sent them off.
As soon as the two old men left, Feng Yuyao became much more casual, and approached Meng Tang's side intimately, continuing to solve.
Meng Tang subconsciously glanced at the other woman, turned sideways without a trace to avoid Feng Yuyao's arm that was about to hug her, and looked at the woman with a little flattery: "Ru Yan, if you are tired." Let's go back and rest! β
The woman named Ru Yan seemed to be in a trance. I realized that my husband was talking to me, and pulled the corners of my mouth, wanting to smile, but I thought that I hadn't smiled for many years. I'm afraid that laughing is even more ugly than crying. It can only be perfunctory. said hello like a ghost, and under the service of the maid, Shi Shiran left.
watched his wife's thin back gradually move away. As a dignified prince, Meng Tang always has a sense of powerlessness, for so many years, he has felt guilty and wants to compensate her, but in the face of her indifference and alienation, there is also a trance as if he was unintentional, he can only sigh secretly.
Feng Yuyao looked at her husband's gaze and followed the back that was so thin that it seemed to fall down when the wind blew, she was jealous in her heart, but with a look of regret on her face, and said reasonably: "My sister must have seen that Yue'er has a good home, but her child is still uncertain about life and death, and it is inevitable that her heart will hurt, so my husband will go over to accompany my sister later!" β
Meng Tang retracted his gaze because of this, and said with a wry smile: "At this time, she must not want to be alone with me even more!" Forget it, let's go and accompany her another day! β
Feng Yuyao hid the smugness in her eyes, for so many years, she is no longer the young and jealous person she was at the beginning, she already knows how to control her husband's heart, and experience her gentleness and thoughtfulness with open-mindedness, and win a reputation as virtuous in the Guogong Mansion.
What about the flat wife, she can also firmly grasp the power of the entire Guogong Mansion in her hands.
And her Guanyue is also a competitive child, after an accident last year, the original impatient and domineering personality has been fully hidden, and now it is not only her right-hand man, who helps her take care of all the things in the backyard.
At the same time, he also won a good reputation, and was favored by the emperor and married the six princes.
Although their national mansion is already under one person and above ten thousand, who doesn't expect their children's status to be permanent in the future, orβthe mother of the world!
Hiding the pride in her heart, Feng Yuyao still asked the previous question: "Husband, you and your father don't seem to be satisfied with the emperor's marriage, why is this?" β
After retracting his attention from his wife, Meng Tang took his wife's hand and slowly walked out of the main hall and walked towards the small garden in the backyard.
"The emperor's marriage is naturally the glory of our country's mansion, and it is also the glory of Yue'er, and my father and I are not dissatisfied!"
"Then why are you and Dad worried?" Feng Yuyao was even more puzzled, since she was not dissatisfied, why did she look so unhappy.
"Yu Yao, you forgot, the identity of the third brother and daughter-in-law!"
Lao Guogong fought on the battlefield when he was young, and he got together less and separated more with his wife, and only had one daughter after he got married in his early years, and only after returning from the battlefield ten years later did he give birth to three sons and two daughters in a row.
The youngest son is married to Princess Fangqin, the eldest daughter of the current saint, that is, the sister of the sixth prince.
"Are you worried about seniority?" Feng Yuyao smiled and said, "The emperor is wise and wise, he naturally thought of the trick, since the emperor doesn't mind, why should we be subjects if we are subjects!" β
"It's just one thing, the main thing is the tense situation right now!" Meng Tang said worriedly.
Feng Yuyao smiled and said: "Husband, are you thinking too much, now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, where is the situation tense!" β
Meng Tang didn't care about the short-sightedness of his wife, after all, they were deep house women, so their knowledge was naturally shallow.
"Now the emperor is in his prime, but the princes are gradually growing up, and the court and the harem are already fighting openly and secretly, and the dark tide is surging, planning to establish a prince!"
Feng Yuyao was slightly stunned, frowned, and said: "Is the husband worried that the six princes will not be able to compete with other princes, and they may end up badly at that time, and they will suffer for Yue'er?" β
Meng Tang was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: men and women always have different ideas and opinions, and the issues they consider are not at the same point.
He also wondered that he was talking about the court with a woman in the house today, and he was really confused.
"Okay, you go back to the backyard to rest first, I still have things to deal with, and I'll accompany you in the evening!"
"Hmmm! Then I'll ask the kitchenette to cook some of your favorite dishes waiting for you! Feng Yuyao showed a shy look.
She is only about thirty years old, she is extremely heavily maintained, her complexion is ruddy, and her body is graceful, which is the most unique period of charm, and it is also the age when she is most eager for her husband's love.
And although Meng Tang has two wives and three concubines, he is not too indulgent on weekdays, so he doesn't have many days in the backyard.
Today, she was naturally very happy to get his words.
The husband and wife were saying goodbye in the garden, but they saw a little girl with a gray face suddenly emerge from the flowers. (To be continued......)
