239 Old Stories (2)

Hearing her ask, Xiao Nansheng was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

His father had a total of five sons, but only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the second prince brother at that time had the strength to compete for the position of the lord of the country, and the other two royal brothers had no intention of doing this, as for the youngest, he was born outside the palace since he was a child, and he was only taken back to the palace by his father when he was seven years old.

Later, if Yu Feilong hadn't taken the initiative to find him and said that he was willing to support him to become the lord of the country, then his fate might just be a victim of others competing for power.

The past is vividly visible, as if it happened yesterday, but it is a pity that the person who gave him the greatest help back then has now become the biggest obstacle to his governance.

After Wu Zi came out of his mind for a while, he remembered to answer Qu Wurong's question, and said self-deprecatingly: "I was the youngest at that time, and I had the least power in my hands, so it was not worth mentioning at all!" ”

Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong didn't ask anymore, but just motioned for him to continue with his eyes.

"Brother Erwang has always been a fiery temper, even if he has been out on the border for so long, he has not changed at all." Xiao Nansheng changed his posture and continued, "He is used to being free in the border city, and he originally had no intention of becoming the lord of the country, but after that happened, he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completely carried it. ”

After that, it is easy to guess, a perennial frontier, the prince who holds the power of the army, and the prince who has been strategizing in the court for many years, the two sides began a confrontation for more than two years in order to compete for the position of the lord, and there are foreign enemies who are eyeing the opportunity to invade, and in those two years, the entire Bailiao country can be described as internal and external troubles, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has suffered a catastrophe that has almost been wiped out.

Hearing this, Qu Wurong was probably able to guess the result, the snipe and the clam competed for the benefit of the fisherman, and Xiao Nansheng should be the fisherman who benefited in the end.

"What does this have to do with you asking me for help?"

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet!" Xiao Nansheng looked at her with a smile, "Aren't you curious at all, why did the two of them fight to the death, but it was I who finally ascended to the throne of the country?" ”

Qu Wurong glanced at him and said sharply: "You yourself said that the fish died and the net was broken, so the cheap one was naturally picked up by others." ”

Hearing her words, Xiao Nansheng couldn't help laughing, "You're really smart!" After speaking, his words suddenly changed, "It's just that cheap is not so easy to pick up!" ”

Although Yu Feilong was only a general under his second brother at that time, he had already established a good position in the army, he saw that the two princes had exhausted all their strength in order to compete for the position of the lord of the country, and knew that even if one side was lucky to win in this way, it would also lose the hearts of the people, so he set his eyes on Xiao Nansheng, who was the youngest at the time and had no power.

So he took the initiative to find Xiao Nansheng and offered that he was willing to support him to become the next lord of the country, and the only condition was that he would marry his sister.

Xiao Nansheng understood in his heart that Yu Feilong put forward this condition in the hope that after he became the lord of the country, he would be able to canonize his sister Yu Ruyi as the queen, so that their future children would be sons-in-law, plus there was an uncle who held military power, and after Xiao Nansheng was a hundred years old, the position of the lord of Bailiao Country would be none other than that child!

Although he knew what kind of calculations he had in mind, Xiao Nansheng couldn't resist the temptation of becoming the lord of the country. Because his father is not a Ming monarch, and he grew up among the people since he was a child, he is used to seeing the sufferings of the people, and he once secretly imagined that if he could one day become the lord of the Bailiao Kingdom, he would definitely try to make his people live a stable and prosperous life!

So in the end, he agreed to Yu Feilong's conditions and married Yu Ruyi into the door, and Yu Feilong really did not break his promise, and when His Royal Highness the Prince and the second prince fought and lost both, he led his subordinates to revolt, so that the second prince lost a big help and was defeated, and pacified the rest of His Royal Highness the Prince, and finally eliminated the public opinion and helped him to the position of the lord of the country.

In fact, Xiao Nansheng also has his own plans in his heart, he and Yu Feilong are just using each other, what he wants is the position of the lord of the Bailiao Kingdom, and what Yu Feilong wants is an heir with their Yu family bloodline.

It's just that Yu Feilong is too conceited, and he feels that Xiao Nansheng was weak in the court at that time, and if he didn't support him behind his back, he would probably become a victim of the competition between the two factions, so he must be grateful to himself, even after becoming the lord of the country, he can only rely on him, and he didn't expect him to go against his will at all.

After Xiao Nansheng became the lord of the country, he did not canonize Yu Ruyi as the queen, but married Xiao Qiaoer, who grew up with him since childhood, and gave the position of queen, which was most valued by the Yu family, to this woman who had nothing to do with the previous dynasty, so there was a rift between him and Yu Feilong.

For his move, Yu Feilong was very angry in his heart, but he was helpless, after all, the condition he proposed at the beginning was only to let Xiao Nansheng marry Yu Ruyi, and did not explicitly require him to canonize Yu Ruyi as the queen.

After listening to him talk about these old things, Qu Wurong finally understood why he had traveled thousands of miles to Daliang to ask for help, presumably most of the forces in the Bailiao Kingdom had been controlled by that jade general, even if he wanted to do something, he was afraid that he would be powerless.

After a moment of silence, Qu Wurong asked, "Do you want me to help you deal with General Yu?" ”

Xiao Nansheng glanced at her and did not answer either "yes" or "no".

In fact, Qu Wurong could understand his mood at this time, after all, Yu Feilong was also kind to him, if it weren't for Yu Feilong, he might have lost his life in the turmoil five years ago, let alone become the new lord of Bailiao Kingdom; But now the person who put him in the position of lord of the country has become a stumbling block to him, and even threatens his position at any time!

Therefore, Xiao Nansheng was entangled at this time, he wanted to get rid of the hidden danger of Jade Feilong in order to protect himself, but he was unwilling to bear the charge of ingratitude, so he could only let others do it for him.

Thinking of this, Qu Wurong didn't wait for his answer anymore, and nodded directly: "I can help you." After a pause, she continued, as if remembering something, "But I need time." ”

"I understand." Xiao Nansheng nodded, "I'm not in a hurry for a while." ”

The situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, and Yu Feilong has been working hard for so many years, and his power has long spread all over the Bailiao Kingdom, just to understand the relationship between them, Qu Wurong will need a lot of time, and he doesn't expect to be able to solve this big problem in a day or two.

Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong showed a satisfied expression, and then made another request: "Also, if you want me to help you do things, you can't lock me up in the palace all day." ”

"No problem!" As if expecting her to make such a request, Xiao Nansheng agreed without even thinking about it, "When you want to leave the palace, send someone to come and tell me, and I will let Tianming follow you." ”

Xu Tianming is his personal guard, and he is also the best kung fu in the entire Bailiao Palace, since Qu Wurong wants to help him do things, then he naturally has the responsibility to protect her!

"Hmm." Qu Wurong nodded, "Do you have anything else?" ”

After solving a matter on his mind, Xiao Nansheng's mood was also much more relaxed, and when he heard her ask, he waved his hand casually, "No, you go back first." ”

Coming out of the imperial study, Qu Wurong took Huang Li and walked in the direction of Yuxin Palace, and when he passed by the imperial garden, he saw Xiao Qiao'er walking out angrily from a distance, and a group of palace maids chasing her behind her, everyone looked very worried on their faces.

was hesitating to go up to say hello, but Xiao Qiao'er saw them first, and the expression on her face instantly turned from cloudy to sunny, and she waved at her with a smile, "Sister Qu!" ”

Qu Wurong stepped forward and gave a salute, "I've seen the queen!" ”

"Sister doesn't have to be polite!" Seeing this, Xiao Qiao'er hurriedly helped her up, and looked in the direction she had just come, "Sister, did you just come out of the lord?" ”

Qu Wurong nodded, "Yes!" ”

"I envy you!" Xiao Qiao'er retracted her gaze, with a hint of melancholy in her tone.

"Envy me?" Hearing her words, Qu Wurong showed a puzzled look, "What is there about me that can make the queen envious?" "Her position as the master of the harem is the envy of some people, right?

Xiao Qiao'er sighed lightly, "I envy that you can all help Brother Sheng, unlike me, I don't understand anything." ”

She grew up with Xiao Nansheng since she was a child, and later after Xiao Nansheng was accepted into the palace by his father, they were separated, originally thought that there would never be a day to see each other again in this life, but when she was thirteen years old, Xiao Nansheng suddenly let people find her, and took her to live in the capital, and later married her into the palace, and gave her her her surname, giving her supreme glory.

Xiao Qiao'er has a very simple personality, thinking that entering the palace is just staying with her beloved, but after she really arrived at the palace, she found that it was not the same as she imagined, Xiao Nansheng married three more ladies after her, each of whose families are important in the court, only she has neither knowledge nor background, so she can't help him at all.

Qu Wurong didn't know these things, but when she heard Xiao Qiao'er's low tone at this time, she felt a little unbearable in her heart, and after thinking about it, she asked, "I heard that the queen has a baby?" ”

Hearing her mention her child, the loss on Xiao Qiaoer's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she took the initiative to take her hand to touch her lower abdomen, "Yes, it's been more than two months!" ”

Her love came and went quickly, and Qu Wurong couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, this queen is really simple-minded! "The queen gave birth to the little prince smoothly, didn't she help the lord of the country?"

Xiao Qiao'er was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then laughed, "Sister is really good at talking!" ”

This incident made her worry and blame herself for a long time, but now Qu Wurong's words dispelled the haze in her heart, and she couldn't help but like the person in front of her from her heart, and was about to pull her to talk for a while, but she heard her personal palace maid Zi Kite remind softly: "Niangniang, we have been out for a long time, and we should go back, otherwise the lord of the country will know that he will punish the slaves and maids again!" ”
