Chapter 308: Where to Float (Part II)
Princess Taiping's Mansion, the main hall flower hall.
After the end of the matter of the foreign domain, Quan Ce can be regarded as truly free, he is the supreme governor of the Beiya, nominally under his command, in essence on the same level as him, the generals who each lead an army, Li Duozuo, Tuoba Siyu, are often close to people, and the subordinate generals Huli and Wu Bingde are their own line, not only do they not plan to make waves for the time being, but they don't have to spend too much energy, go to the government office for a walk, sit in a festival, order their subordinates to settle down to their own duties, act according to the old rules, and leave by themselves.
His first stop was here, to meet Princess Taiping, and after resigning from the position of the commander of Princess Yi, he was no longer a subordinate official of Princess Taiping, although the two belonged to aunts and nephews, and the relationship was close to the day, whether they were officials or not, it didn't matter too much, but according to the etiquette of officialdom, he still had to go through.
"What is the relationship between Shangguan Wan'er and you?" The two of them sat together, but Quan Ce didn't even have a glass of water in front of him, and Princess Taiping opened her mouth to question.
She stared at Shangguan Wan'er Sigongfang's outer house for a long time, and she had never seen the shadow of Quan Ce, but the two of them were able to stay quiet, communicate with each other, and join forces to get rid of Zhou Renliang and complete a series of dazzling political operations, so that Quan Ce successfully returned to the court and jumped to the prominent position of Beiya, obviously, she underestimated the tacit understanding and channels between Quan Ce and Shangguan Wan'er, and they have long been more than just a ** relationship.
Quan Ce did not hesitate, and blurted out, "Auntie, if it weren't forbidden, Wan'er would be my wife, and now it is impossible to hold hands due to the current situation, although Wan'er has not said it explicitly, but she has kept the festival for me, and the power struggle between the DPRK and China is still cruel, it is a misfortune, but also a great luck, and the two of us can use swords and swords to tell their feelings in their hearts"
"Slap" Princess Taiping smashed the tea cup in her hand on Quan Ce, got up angrily, and the green tendons on her forehead jumped violently, "Okay, what a affectionate and righteous Quan Langjun, you know that your aunt and Shangguan Wan'er are not on good terms, but you said this in front of your aunt, are you afraid that your aunt will live too long?" ”
The tea cup smashed on Quan Ce's shoulder, shattered into several pieces, and the boiling hot water flowed on his body, Quan Ce did not avoid it, lowered his head, and his voice was a little choked, "Auntie, the child can say these words, where is there anyone besides you?"
Mother Princess Yiyang is soft and timid, most afraid that he will be inappropriate, and she said this, I am afraid that it will kill her, and the rest of the elders either do not know the affairs of the court, or have other intentions, people of the same generation, all rely on him, he can open his heart, say these words, really this is the only one, he didn't want to say, only in his heart, Princess Taiping asked, the heart of the floodgates opened, the emotions were surging, but he couldn't hold it back.
Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, seeing him sobbing silently, it was a pity that overshadowed the sourness and anger, there are lovers who cannot become dependents, and they can't even see each other, painstakingly and lonely in the court, dealing with open guns and hidden arrows, saving their lives, and dedicating themselves to the benefit of the country, they can only lick their wounds silently, and they can't even see a person who digs out their hearts.
Princess Taiping was speechless, leaned over and hugged his head tightly in her arms, "It's all my aunt's, it's hard for Da Lang."
Quan Ce's mood came suddenly, and as soon as his reason returned, he reined in, and he had no intention of forcing Princess Taiping to change her opinion of Shangguan Wan'er, the contradictions between women are always difficult to explain, as long as they don't make trouble on the surface, it doesn't matter, he gently patted Princess Taiping's shoulder and back, and helped her up, "Auntie, the child is fine, come today, although it is a resignation, if the aunt needs it, just command, the child will go all out"
"Hmph, you dare to try if you are disobedient" The corners of Princess Taiping's eyes were slightly moist, she reached out and wiped it, snorted lightly, clapped her hands, and there were already maids, singers, and dancers who came in like flowing water, and Quan Ce's desk was full of food and drinks, and the lyrics and songs were played, but it was the Queqiao Fairy who was born outside Anximen.
"You bad-hearted thief, you just make people tears for fun" Princess Taiping leaned on him, closed her eyes and sighed, and pursed the corners of her plump mouth, "What about Your Highness Qianjin, why does she move around so often with Princess Yiyang's Mansion?" ”
"For revenge" Quan Ce was not polite, his left arm was slightly raised, supporting the plump body of Princess Taiping, and his right hand was flying chopsticks, munching on the desk, "Wen Changjie died in Wu Chenghe's scheme, and the princess was determined to make him pay the price, so she found the child to borrow her strength, and threatened that I would not help her, so she followed the example of the assassin and fought with her life, and the child was helpless, so she responded, originally just pulled Wu Chengsi off the horse, but His Royal Highness Qianjin was still unsatisfied, and he wanted to take Wu Chenghe's life, so he dragged it down"
"You're so talkative?" Princess Taiping listened quietly, with a long snort, and she sounded like she had fallen asleep, but she suddenly opened her mouth to ask, pointing to the incompleteness of the power strategy.
Quan Ce smiled bitterly and said worriedly, "At that time, His Royal Highness Qianjin had already been deposed as a concubine, kneeling on the ground and inviting himself to be a slave, and the child couldn't bear the grinding, so he agreed" Seeing Princess Taiping's quiet and peaceful face, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Aunt rest assured, the child knows how to measure, abides by etiquette, and has never been regarded as a slave."
Princess Taiping's eyebrows were loosened, and the corners of her mouth turned up, "I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness Qianjin cherished the royal status the most, and she had been domineering in the past, but I really couldn't imagine that she would give you the gift of a master and servant, what kind of scene was born?" Giggles"
Quan Ce glanced at her strangely, but was glared back by a glance, Princess Taiping changed to a more comfortable posture and continued to lean on him, "It's good to eat, what are you looking at?" ”
Princess Taiping looked at his squirming Adam's apple, listened to his chewing sound, snorted slightly, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soundly.
Quan Ce put down his ivory basket and sat quietly, motionless.
In the evening, Quan Ce and Princess Taiping returned to Princess Yiyang's mansion together, and Li Jing, the eldest son of Li Sujie, the king of Yu, also left the Shendu and returned to Mianchi, and he would be honored tonight.
Visitors are like clouds, there are very few surnames Li, but there are more Wu family members, Dingwang Wu Youji, Anping Wang Wu Youxu, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi are all family members, Prime Minister Dou Lu Qinwang, Ouyang Tong, Di Renjie and others also have the good of the family, but they only come with their sons, the power of the central government, or the court officials who have always been friendly, either come by themselves, or send their sons and nephews to come, Liang Wang Wu Sansi is to let the eldest son Gaoyang Wang Wu Chongxun pay tribute on his behalf.
Nanyang Wang Wu Yanji also came, he is still not married, but he has opened a mansion, and Wu Chongxun and Wu Chongmin and others sit at the same table, there is a polo match in Shenduyuan to fight side by side with foreign domains, and they are all young boys, Wu Yanji is square and gentle, Wu Chongmin is pragmatic and steady, although Wu Chongxun is a little arrogant and resentful, but he is not ignorant of good and bad temperament, and soon chatted together.
During the banquet, Wu Chongxun deliberately drank a few more cups with Li Jing, and after getting acquainted, he inadvertently mentioned, "I heard that there is a warlock in the palace of King Yu, who is good at face-to-face, and has a unique way of medicine, I don't know if it's true?" ”
"If His Royal Highness refers to Zhang Jingzang in Jizhou, then there is indeed someone else" Li Jing did not hide his secrets, "but he did not live in the palace for a long time, he stayed for half a month, and he has already traveled all over the world"
"I see" Wu Chongxun laughed and stopped mentioning it.
Quan Ce listened to it very well, it is not surprising that Wu Chongxun asked for medical advice, he calculated for Wu Yanxiu that day, injured his kidneys, and had a lot of unfavorable intercourse, he was concerned about Zhang Jingzang.
The word warlock always makes people uneasy.
