Chapter IX. 3
On that day, the crown prince Yan Long and the others were bullying him in the imperial garden, splashing basins of water on him.
He shivered with cold, but he didn't dare to resist at all.
Suddenly, a small figure stood in front of him and shouted angrily at everyone, "What are you doing? Why splash him with water? ”
Dugu Yanxiang looked at the girl in front of him who was a little shorter than himself, and was quite surprised. He thought to himself:
"Everyone in the palace knows that the crown prince Yan Long doesn't ask others to protect me, and even the ladies in the palace turn a blind eye to my bullying in order not to provoke the queen. Who is this little girl? Why is it so bold? ”
When the palace maids saw that this little girl was dressed gorgeously, they naturally understood that this was a little master, so they didn't dare to make too much of it, and they all stepped back.
Only Yan Long was the most unscrupulous, he was very angry when he saw that someone was blocking his atrocities, he stepped forward, looked at the little girl and said, "Hmph, where did the little girl come from, she dared to take care of the prince's affairs?" ”
"You're the crown prince?" The little girl asked.
"Exactly, how? Scared, right? Yan Long said triumphantly shaking his legs.
"Since you are the crown prince, you should love your subordinates, lead by example, and not bully the weak, so why bully him?" The little girl pointed to Dugu Yanxiang behind her and said.
Prince Yan Long stretched out his hand to wipe his nose, and said: "This prince is happy, he is a member of my Dugu family, what can you do?" Does it matter? ”
When the little girl heard this, she was slightly shocked, turned to look at Dugu Yanxiang, and asked, "Are you the prince?" ”
"Yes." Dugu Yanxiang replied in a low voice.
Seeing that he replied yes, the girl turned back to Yan Long and said, "Since he is also a member of the Dugu family, then he is your brother, you should love him more, how can you bully him." ”
"Hmph, Prince Ben is willing. Tell you, little girl, you'd better be nosy. Otherwise, this prince will punish you for the nine clans. Yan Long was obviously impatient and said viciously.
"Today's idle matter is decided by the county lord." The little girl showed no signs of weakness.
"You, who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous? Yan Long asked angrily.
"Beixuan Palace, Shangguan Beishang." The little girl replied calmly.
Yan Long looked at the girl again in disbelief, and said, "You are the daughter of the eldest princess?"
"Yes." The girl didn't want to talk to him, and said coldly.
Maybe the queen once instructed the people of the Beixuan Royal Mansion not to mess with it, and the prince Yan Long didn't make a fuss about nothing, but turned around and left.
The little Shangguan Beishang looked at Dugu Yanxiang, who was covered in water behind him, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
Dugu Yanxiang let a little girl see his embarrassment, and he didn't listen to what she said, pushed her away and hurriedly ran away.
How did Shangguan Beishang know, just because of her intrusion, Dugu Yanxiang's world has been shining since then.
From then on, he didn't want to be bullied by the crown prince Yan Long anymore, and began to think of a way to escape, and even sometimes, he could let Yan Long lift a stone and hit his feet, so that he would have a hard time.
The next time I saw Shangguan Beishang was in the evening, the queen mother set up a banquet for the eldest princess to catch the wind, Concubine Yun was friendly with the eldest princess in the old days, and she naturally would be at this banquet, and there was Dugu Yanxiang.
When Shangguan Beishang saw him, he said with a smile: "You are dressed like this, you look much better than the embarrassed appearance in the morning." ”
How did she know that it was the only dress he had ever worn to attend a banquet when he was a child.
Dugu Yanxiang smiled and said: "You are so well-behaved, but you are much gentler than the fierce appearance in the morning." ”
"You, obviously I saved you." Shangguan Beishang glared at him and said.
At this time, the Queen Mother interjected: "Yan Xiang, Beishang, come, come here." ”
Shangguan Beishang and Dugu Yanxiang stepped forward and saluted the Queen Mother: "Grandma." "Grandma."
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, put Shangguan Beitang sitting in her arms on the ground, let the three of them stand side by side, and said: "You three are cousins, Yan Xiang, you are the biggest, you have to protect your brother and sister." ”
"Beitang, Beishang, you also have to respect your brother."
The three of them replied in unison, "Yes." Then they looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled.
Since then, there have been two more people in Dugu Yanxiang's childhood, Shangguan Beitang and Shangguan Beishang.
During the time that the eldest princess stayed in the palace for nearly half a year, Dugu Yanxiang and Shangguan Beitang, Beishang were almost inseparable from each other.
It was the happiest and most worry-free period of his entire miserable childhood.
Half a year later, the eldest princess took Beitang and Beishang back to the north.
Not long after, news came from the north that the lord of Beishang was gone. That night, he covered himself in the quilt and cried all night.
Later, the eldest princess also passed away one after another. The Queen Mother lost her daughter in her twilight years, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, which was naturally full of sadness. I thought about taking the son of Beixuan to Beijing to take care of it by myself, which can be regarded as a little sustenance and comfort for my late daughter!
When the prince of Beixuan came to the palace again, and Dugu Yanxiang went to the queen mother's palace to say goodbye, he recognized it at a glance.
Since then, he has grown up with Beishang, who is dressed as a man.
In the twenty-second year of Rongzong, one day, Shangguan Beitang got off the school and returned to the palace, but met the prince Yan Long on the way.
Over the years, Yan Long has gradually grown up, and his temper has also grown a lot.
He still likes to bully Dugu Yanxiang, so he also dislikes Shangguan Beitang in every way.
On this day, he saw that Shangguan Beitang had caught a grasshopper, so he had to rush to fight for it.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, I am the crown prince, I will inherit the throne of Jiang Guo in the future, give me things quickly." Yan Long reached out and grabbed the small bamboo basket containing the gnats.
"No, this is what I caught, if you want, you can catch it yourself." Shangguan Beitang pinched the small bamboo basket in his hand to death.
"I don't care, as a courtier, you should be polite to the lord and give me the gnat." Yan Long took it by force.
"I won't give it, you are the prince now, and the prince should also have an example of being a prince, how can you compete with me for a grasshopper." Shangguan Beitang also showed no weakness.
"Do you want to give it?"
"Don't give. I want to catch it myself. ”
"You," Prince Yan Long was also angry, and pushed Shangguan Beitang to the ground.
This also angered Shangguan Beitang, he glared angrily, threw the small bamboo basket in his hand to the ground, and stepped on it a few times. trampled the gnats to death.
Seeing this, Dugu Yanlong immediately became furious, he glared at Shangguan Beitang viciously and said: "Don't think that you are the son of the King of Beixuan, you are great, your father is just a watchdog guarding the country for my Dugu family, what is there to be arrogant." ”
"One day, when this prince becomes a great treasure, the first thing I want to do is to take back the military power of your Beixuan Royal Mansion and kill your father and son."
This sentence happened to be heard by Dugu Yanxiang, who had just come over from the thatched house. He looked at the vicious expression of the crown prince Yan Long, and knew that what he said today was not impulsive.
He knows Dugu Yanlong too well, and knows that he is a ruthless person who never leaves room for anything. This was the case when I was young, and it became even worse when I grew up. If he hadn't been careful all these years, I'm afraid he would have been killed a long time ago.
Dugu Yanxiang understands that if Dugu Yanlong becomes the emperor, sooner or later he will kill Shangguan Beitang, and he will definitely not let himself go.
In any case, he did not allow others to touch a single hair of Shangguan Beitang.
So from then on, he began to plan how to kill Dugu Yanlong. Since then, he has understood one thing, only when he has the supreme right can he protect himself and the people around him from bullying.
He wants to be the emperor, and he wants to ascend to the position of the supreme in the world. He wants to make everyone submit to him, and he will not dare to disobey him again.
Fortunately, fate didn't make him wait long. Soon he had the opportunity to kill Dugu Yanlong.
It was during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the twenty-third year of Rongzong, and the Tatars paid tribute to a bloody horse.
Dugu Yanxiang heard that this horse is a rare best in the world, and the sweat is red. If he can subdue such a fierce horse, he must be a true hero.
Dugu Yanxiang had seen this horse once when it was transported into the palace, and it was indeed an extremely rare good horse, and he loved it very much.
But he understands that such a good thing will not easily reach his hands. It will be the prince who will definitely be able to get this thing.
"Dugu Yanlong, that reckless man, can he subdue such a good horse?" Dugu Yanxiang sneered and disdainfully thought in his heart.
In an instant, he suddenly thought of something, yes! Isn't that a great opportunity?
If the crown prince Yan Long can subdue this horse, then he naturally has nothing to say. If he can't, won't he take him down with one move?
Thinking like this, he had already begun to plan a series of plans in his mind.
To do this, it has to be seamless. No one can find out that he has anything to do with it.
So, he thought of a person, Wang Yu, the son of Prime Minister Wang Heng. This prince is a classmate in the same school as him.
This person is stupid and simple, and he has no scheming, so he might as well take advantage of him.
The next day, Dugu Yanxiang invited Wang Yu to run a horse at the racecourse.
Wang Yu naturally saw the bloody horse. He was very happy in his heart, he wanted to surrender to it, but he was rejected by the horse trainer: "Prince Wang, this horse is extremely strong and not easy to subdue, so the emperor specially held a horse training conference, which will be held in three days, and please come back in three days!" ”
"What are you talking about? This son is going to surrender it today, and quickly pull it out. Wang Yu looked at the fierce horses grazing by the stable and said.
"Please also ask the prince to atone for his sins, the slave doesn't dare, if something happens, the slave will not have enough ten heads!" The horse trainer said respectfully.
"You, dog minion, don't you open your eyes to see who is next to me? Don't hurry up and get the horse out. Wang Yu was a little angry.
"The third prince, the prince, don't embarrass the slaves, the emperor has ordered, no one can go to this horse without permission, the slaves really can't afford it!" The horse trainer said in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Dugu Yanxiang hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Forget it, forget it, Brother Wang, let's come back in three days!" ”
Wang Yu was frustrated in the horse training field, and naturally after coming to the school, he praised the sweaty BMW and sneered at Dugu Yanxiang.
"If you want me to say it! These three princes are doing things, alas, it's true, I can't say it! Wang Yu shook his head and sighed, "You said that if the prince is here, then the horse trainer still dares to be disobedient?" ”
