Chapter Forty-Three: Father and Son Fight
After dinner, Emperor Ling planned to go out for a walk. was about to leave the door of the inn, but saw Shangguan Xi hurriedly coming from the side.
"The master is in a good mood, why don't you go with the villain?" Shangguan Xi said, looking at Emperor Ling on the side.
Right now, in order not to disturb the people's customs, everyone up and down calls Emperor Ling Shangguan Yan the master.
"If that's what you want, let's go along." Emperor Ling felt that he simply walked around casually, and it was not impossible to bring the official seal.
So, the two went out with two retinues each, a total of four people.
Walking to Xiaoting by the river, Emperor Ling suddenly stopped.
"It seems like it's been a long time since we've sat down and chatted together so calmly." Emperor Ling looked at the stone slab not far away, and then spoke.
"The master is busy with trivial matters, how dare my son disturb." Shangguan Xi said, looking at him unhurriedly.
Listening to the tone of his voice, he blamed Emperor Ling.
"Little bunny. If you don't open the house for three days, don't you? As he spoke, Emperor Ling was about to get up and scuffle with Shangguan Xi.
The two people beside him wanted to intervene, but they were stopped by a gesture from Emperor Ling.
The two left punches and the right kick reactivated the muscles and bones that had been scattered for a long time. After a long time, he sat down on the slate again, panting.
"You kid, you're really ruthless. I dare to do this to Lao Tzu, there are no rules. Emperor Ling said, and he was about to punch again.
Shangguan Xi noticed Emperor Ling's movements, and hurriedly dodged to avoid it.
"Master, your son and I were beaten even worse." Shangguan Xi said, pointing to the two scars on his neck.
Although Shangguan Yan is not as old as before, he used to have excellent physical fitness.
Although he was already sick, Shangguan Yan would not let him see anything. Every punch and kick is a real force.
At present, the two of them are fighting, not only did they not lose the wind, but they also beat their son Shangguan Xi to the point that it is called a nest.
If it weren't for Shangguan Xi seeing that the situation was wrong and knowing how to dodge and fight back, I am afraid that he would have to apply ointment.
"You deserve it, dare to bully you." Emperor Ling said, looking at the chic shape on Shangguan Xi's body. I couldn't hold back and laughed.
"Dad, I used to think you liked Seven. But now I find out that you don't have a favorite son at all. The third brother was sick and didn't pay attention to it. ”
Shangguan Xi felt that he suddenly said the doubts in his heart, but he relaxed a lot.
Shangguan Yan didn't speak, just considered the words and phrases in Shangguan Xi's words. Indeed, he had always liked Lao Qishangguan Mausoleum before.
It is precisely because of this that when he was given the name, he was stained with the word "mausoleum". But in the end, it was his own likes and particularities that hurt him.
So now he won't like any of his sons. Even Shangguan Yao, who has been excluded from public opinion by him, seems to have won his heart, and has therefore been made the crown prince.
But how can the emperor's thoughts be easily told? Emperor Ling didn't pay attention to Shangguan Xi beside him, but turned his eyes to the riverside.
It's summer, and it's rainy season. The noise of the cicadas and the surrounding small bridges and flowing water complement each other.
Compared with the prosperity of the capital, he likes it even more. The simple folk customs, the natural scenery, and the delicate painter carved all this.
Shangguan Xi was originally wandering away from the sky, and suddenly recalled what he had just said and looked at Emperor Ling's face in a speechless manner.
saw that he was still the same light and breezy appearance, except for his sideburns and some dust on his face.
looked at Emperor Ling's gaze, but saw a flat boat slowly rowing in the distance. On the boat is a green cedar girl, who is paddling slowly with sculls in her hand.
Humming an unknown melodious song in his mouth, it was very leisurely.
