Chapter 176
There was only a small boat parked by the lake, and Shangguan got into the boat, stood on the bow of the boat, and waved his hand behind him: "You don't have to follow, just on the shore." ”
"General, the identity of the other party is unknown, and the subordinates are not at ease."
"It's an old man." Shangguan's firm eyes, his gaze had already moved to a place not far away, this courtyard, he had stepped into it for the second time in his life, how could he not know the identity of the other party.
As the boat drifted, he vaguely seemed to see a woman standing slim, revealing in the broken shadow of the light veil. Wearing a dark purple palace dress, standing upright under the eaves, her skirt is embroidered with a vivid unicorn, she stands on top of the unicorn, obviously perceiving the auspicious atmosphere, but there is no peace of mind.
The boat docked, Shangguan calmly stepped in, an octagonal pavilion, blue sky and clear water, the same side of the world, but the mood is leisurely different.
There was a tea set on the table, tea was already boiling on the small stove, the woman turned her head and smiled slightly, it was beautiful, Shangguan arched her hand: "Shangguan has seen the Eagle Princess." ”
The woman's smile was undiminished, refreshing and refreshing, and her red lips were lightly opened: "I haven't seen you for many years, General Shangguan's demeanor is still the same, and he is favored, this ceremony, this palace can't afford it." "It seems to be a joke, but it's actually tentative.
"The Eagle King's status is noble, and you can naturally afford it."
"General Shangguan, please take a seat."
"Eagle Princess, please come down, is there something important?" The Eagle Princess has lived here alone for a long time, and in the name of recuperation, she rarely asks about the affairs of the world, and lives a life of isolation. Although they are childhood friends, they also know how to defend men and women, and the grievances between the Eagle King and the Eagle Princess over the years have been heard by Shangguan and it is inconvenient to participate.
"For an old coming-of-age thing." Although the Eagle Princess is nearly forty years old, her skin is very well maintained, and she is still as graceful as a girl.
Shangguan sat on his knees, sipped the tea in the cup, and said indifferently: "Listen to me." ”
"General Shangguan should know that Bengong and Xi'er, that is, the second aunt of Murong Mansion, are close friends in the boudoir, and both Bengong and Xi'er admired you back then, but you and Xi'er were in love, and Bengong was promised to the Eagle King. At the beginning, the palace has always thought that you will give Xi'er happiness, so I bless you from the heart, but I never thought that General Shangguan returned from the side of the fortress, but he has already started a family, after many years, this palace wants to ask, has General Shangguan ever regretted the original choice? ”
It's a question, but it's a yes. How can Shangguan's mood at this time be defined by regret, when he faces the love of his heart face to face again, years of forbearance have collapsed, but she is no longer the little girl who fell in love with herself, she is a wife and a mother, he can only watch from afar, and the taste of heartache is not comfortable.
The Eagle Princess looked at the sadness overflowing on Shangguan's face, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, it was really a man who didn't flick his tears, if she wasn't there, he would cry bitterly, but then, she wanted to make him more painful, this is what he owes Xi'er, her good sister has lost too much for this man, how difficult and sad these Xi'er are, she will let this man return a hundred times and a thousand times.
"You are going to the battlefield, how dangerous that war is, the world knows, Xi'er disregarded his name and had a husband and wife with you, but what did you do? During the period of recuperation, I didn't know how to respect myself, and I actually got involved with other women, even if I did, I married back as a wife, you said, what face do you have to see Xi'er again, a few days ago, you actually questioned Xi'er for the daughter of the shameless husband, you still have to talk about how far Xi'er has become. ”
The Eagle Princess's tone was tinged with monstrous anger, and it was no longer the plain water it had been at first. They are all partners who grew up since childhood, the second aunt and the eagle princess have the same disease, so many years, the two cherish each other, complain to each other, at this time, how can they not hate, it is these negative men, they trample on the beauty of life unbearable.
"Enough, really enough." Shangguan put his head between his knees, his hands covering the gap between his cheeks, and his shoulders trembled violently. A calm and calm Shangguan general finally broke down and cried, and the feelings that had been suppressed in his heart for many years were vented, and his forbearance finally changed the regret of his life.
"Not enough, do you know that Xi'er wants to commit herself to Murong Qian? Because she is pregnant with your child, she is reluctant to beat it, so she can choose to marry, who will accept a flawed woman who is still pregnant with someone else's child. Xi'er begged me here, it was I who talked privately with Murong Qian, reached an agreement, and Xi'er successfully married into Murong Mansion as a concubine, although Xi'er married Murong Qian, but never let Murong Qian touch her all these years, and you, actually took the fish eye as a pearl, such an unbearable woman, but you have been like a jewel for so many years. ”
The Eagle Princess didn't seem to intend to let go of General Shangguan, with her back to the wood carving, facing the calm lake like water, the Eagle Princess, looking down at the sad Shangguan General who was kneeling on the ground, had no mercy, she knew today, why bother in the first place.
"What do you say? Fei'er and Jin'er's twins are my daughters, but after I returned to Beijing, I checked their birthdays, and the days didn't match. Shangguan looked at the Eagle Princess in horror, and the shock in his eyes made him stunned.
"How could Murong Qian let the outside gossip outside, Xi'er went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs when she gave birth, and only came back half a year after giving birth, and the child's birth date was postponed for half a year. The palace also got some interesting anecdotes today, it is reported that Shangguan Bai is not your own person, Shangguan General is good - temperament, with a green hat on his head, he has been living a prosperous life, this palace is really sighing to himself. ”
"Since the Eagle Princess already knows, please keep her mouth shut, that woman is still useful now, and she can't be aware of it in the slightest."
"General Shangguan is so amorous, using this method to protect her really makes the palace look at her."
"Now that the matter of the Eagle Princess is over, Shangguan will leave."
"Slow, there is still one thing in this palace today, which is entrusted by the Eagle King." Wenxin School
"Oh, the princess and the Eagle King haven't seen each other for many years, and it seems that it is also a rumor outside."
"This is not the general's bother, Ah Fu in your mansion is the concubine of that woman, who killed that family, of course, that little guy was also killed by him, the Eagle King asked the palace to bring a word, if the general is not in the way, he can come forward to settle this matter."
"No need, let them take care of what they do."
"General Shangguan is unexpectedly unkind to the point where he is now."
"There is some kind of tacit understanding between the princess and the prince, and it is inconvenient for Shangguan to say more, please ask the princess to tell the prince that Shangguan is only loyal to the court and the emperor."
"What a courtier who is loyal to the king and serves the country, is it possible that you think that this king is going to force you to rebel." The Eagle King took broken steps, and a black python robe slowly walked out from behind the screen.
Shangguan was a young man who practiced martial arts and had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, if he hadn't been blinded by Xi'er's affairs, how could he not feel that there was a third person here, he got up and arched his hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Eagle King." ”
The Eagle King looked at the Eagle Princess, and his affectionate gaze did not win the Eagle Princess's favor.
"Brother Shangguan, Brother Xian has the intention of helping, why refuse people thousands of miles away."
"If you have violated the law of the country, you will hand it over to the yamen to deal with, the kindness of the Eagle King, Shangguan will understand it."
"Since Brother Shangguan said it, Brother Xian will no longer force it, if you need Brother Xian, you will do your best to help."
The two of them were cold, and Shangguan went away in a small boat.
The Eagle King turned around and looked at the Eagle Princess fixedly: "After so many years, you still can't let go?" ”
"Eagle King, please come back." The Eagle Princess's distant and indifferent tone caused the Eagle King to sigh.
There was a commotion from the entrance of the courtyard, followed by the sound of fighting weapons colliding, the Eagle King stared at the Eagle Princess with burning eyes, as if he didn't care about what was happening in front of him, the Eagle Princess looked back and swept towards the silver water, "That girl, you better tell her the truth as soon as possible." ”
"The child is still young, and I am worried about hurting her." The Eagle King frowned slightly, and his heart was heavy.
"It's sixteen, if you had let her know the truth earlier, maybe she wouldn't have developed the current appearance, a young lady in the specifications, is so ridiculous. My name cannot be tainted with this filth, and if you can't fix it, I don't mind telling the world who she is. ”
"You really can't forgive me, isn't it normal for this world to have three wives and four concubines?"
"Yes, especially with your noble status, it is normal for side concubines, concubines, and concubines to be concubines, but you just wanted that woman and gave birth to this evil seed, over the years, I let her be in my name, and it has been full of our husband and wife."
"One day husband and wife, I want to know, where was the child you conceived and gave birth to in October? That's in my blood, too. ”
"This is not a matter of bothering the prince, he is very good, as for Xi'er's matter, I have told General Shangguan truthfully, you don't need to use these to blackmail me in the future, if you really think about the relationship between husband and wife, give me a piece of paper and a letter of departure, and there will be no more ties."
The Eagle King's clenched fists trembled slightly, and the green tendons on his temples burst out, "Do you really want to do this?" ”
Princess Eagle felt his monstrous anger, and did not have the slightest fear, "The prince will not go over again, if that little girl is injured, she will take the blame." ”
The voice in the words was still there, the Eagle King had already flown away, a few water streaks were flooded, and the Eagle King could no longer be seen, and the noise stopped abruptly.
The Eagle Princess stood in the pavilion, staring at the sky in the distance for a long time, she had not left here for more than ten years, it was not that the Eagle King wanted to trap her, it was that she herself did not want to see the outside world, she used to happily think that she had someone who loved her, she had a child, and looked forward to a better future, but that woman, the person she hated all her life, her most beloved man not only had a head and tail with that woman, but also gave birth to a child. She didn't hate, she wouldn't let him see her child, let alone let them recognize each other. No, I don't think about it for the rest of my life.
