Chapter 227: Apologies
When Nan Anhou heard Emperor Chu's words, his eyes widened in surprise.
Originally, the three of them, father and son, came to ask for guilt, thinking that Emperor Chu had always been kind and had always been kind to the clan, so they took the initiative to come to ask for guilt, and they should not be punished heavily.
He really didn't expect that Emperor Chu not only did not lower the punishment, but also said that the eldest son would go to the palace guard to report after returning to the imperial capital.
You must know that the pennant guards under the command of Emperor Chu are mainly responsible for guarding the palace, which is closer to Emperor Chu.
Only a very small number of the clans and high-ranking disciples in the imperial capital will enter the imperial examination, and the Jinqi Guard and the Palace Guards have always had a higher chance of coming out because they are under the direct management of Emperor Chu.
Nan Anhou originally wanted to wait until the eldest son became an adult, and then think of handing the fold to Emperor Chu to ask for a seal for the eldest son.
Today, the fourth son caused such a disaster, almost harming Emperor Chu and Princess Zhaoyue, but he didn't expect that Emperor Chu would take the initiative to let his eldest son enter the palace guard.
Nan Anhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly took his two sons to thank Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu asked them to calm down, and when Nan Anhou was about to leave with his two sons, Emperor Chu asked Nan Anhou to take his eldest son to wait outside, leaving Nan Anhou's four sons to question.
Nan'an Hou didn't know why, but he also obeyed Emperor Chu's words and took his eldest son to wait outside the camp.
"What do you say Your Majesty wants to ask your brother? Do you have to let our father and son come out? Nan Anhou stood outside for a short while, and he couldn't help but whisper to his eldest son. Your brother is a nest, and he rolls around at home on weekdays, but he is afraid that he will tremble again when he sees His Majesty, and he can't say a whole sentence. ”
His eldest son didn't answer him, just stood quietly by Nan Anhou's side.
After a short while, Wu Chuan, who was beside Emperor Chu, personally led Nan Anhou's four sons and sent him out of the camp to his father and brother.
"Brother." As soon as he saw his father and brother waiting outside, he immediately let go of Wu Chuan's hand, trotted all the way to Nan'an Hou's eldest son, and showed him the bag of things he was holding in his arms. "You see, this is a reward from His Majesty."
With that, he raised the thing in his hand as if offering a treasure.
Nan Anhou's eldest son cooperated to look down, and the younger brother was accompanied by a bamboo refined box, and the younger brother couldn't wait to lift the lid of the box, which was full of preserved fruits and candies, which were not the styles that can be seen in the ordinary market.
"Your Highness thinks that the little young master in the house is innocent and cute, and dares to admit his mistakes, the little young master is young, and His Majesty rewarded the little young master with these foods." Wu Chuan spoke at the right time. "Your Majesty asked me to send off the Hou Ye and the two young masters away."
"If you don't work for the waiter Wunei, our father and son will retire." After listening to Wu Chuan's words, Nan Anhou's hanging heart finally fell, Wu Chuan's identity was known to everyone, and the second and third rank officials in the court were polite when they spoke to him.
The ancestor of Nan'an Marquis has meritorious service and has won such a title, but it has been in decline for a long time. It was easy for the eldest son to get the blue eyes of Emperor Chu, and the Marquis of Nan'an became more earnest when he spoke to Wu Chuan, who had served Emperor Chu for many years.
Speaking of which, Nan Anhou only regretted that he didn't expect Emperor Chu to come to such a hand, and he didn't bring anything suitable to reward people by his side. Thinking that Wu Chuan had been by Emperor Chu's side for many years, what kind of good things he hadn't seen, he ruthlessly ripped off a piece of jade Jue from his waist and sent it to Wu Chuan.
"Hey, what is Master Hou doing?" Wu Chuan's eyes were very sharp, and he knew at a glance that the jade jue in Nan'anhou's hand was by no means ordinary.
As the first close servant of Emperor Chu, Wu Chuan can serve Emperor Chu for many years, and he must not be greedy and stupid. On weekdays, whether it is an official of the DPRK and China, a harem concubine, there are always people who send him money and things. Within the scope allowed by Emperor Chu, he was not soft on what he should have collected, and he would not take more than anything that should be taken no matter how valuable and rare it was.
Although there are still some things to investigate in the future of this matter, Nan'anhou's father and son are indeed out of suspicion, and Emperor Chu just left Nan'anhou's four sons for questioning, which is to make a final confirmation. Nan'an Hou is inconspicuous in a place like the imperial capital full of powerful people and clan relatives, but now his eldest son is favored by Emperor Chu and personally wants him to enter the palace guard, and it is indispensable to look up and not look down in the future.
Wu Chuan and Nan Anhou refused a little before accepting the piece of jade. However, he did not accept things in vain, since he received the gift of Nan Anhou, he stayed and said a few more words to him.
"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and after yesterday's events are still safe and sound. But Princess Zhaoyue suffered a lot, the princess is His Majesty's beloved daughter, Nan Anhou don't forget that the princess is the best. ”
Nan Anhou thanked Wu Chuan for his reminder.
It's just that this time he only brought his two sons out, and the ladies of the family didn't come together, Princess Zhaoyue should still be in bed recuperating since she was injured, and it was really inappropriate for her family to have only three men to visit.
And the eldest son of Nan'anhou, who had been silently following his father with his younger brother who was twittering, did not speak leisurely until the father and son had entered their own tents.
"Father, Princess Zhaoyue's concubine was born in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion, and her mother is the Duansu County Lord of the Xianwang Mansion." The eldest son has never said much, but he has always said important things.
As soon as the eldest son reminded him, Nan Anhou immediately remembered. The successive Nan'an Marquis have not made much progress in their careers, but they are all very good at being people, and because of their origins in the clan, these noble relatives have always maintained a good relationship between him and his wife. It is precisely because of this that even though the Marquis of Nan'an has been in decline for several generations, he still retains the title of the Marquis of Nan'an.
King Xian, like the eldest princess of Yongshou, is a very face-saving elder in the clan. Such a relationship, Nan Anhou is naturally laborious to maintain, he has a good relationship with the prince of Xianwang, and his wife and the two princesses of Xianwang's mansion are also often in contact.
It was inconvenient for their father and son to see Princess Zhaoyue, but it was not difficult to see her concubine.
Nan Anhou sat and thought about things by himself, and the eldest son coaxed his younger brother during this period and asked the attendants in the palace to take him out to play. Waiting for his younger brother to be taken down, Nan Anhou's eldest son ordered someone to prepare a gift and put it beside him, and then sat next to Nan Anhou.
So when Nan Anhou finished thinking about it himself, and was just about to turn his head and say a few words to his eldest son, he found that the eldest son had already prepared all the things that should be prepared, and he was waiting for his own speech.
Nan Anhou took his eldest son to Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan's camp outside, and asked the maid outside to go in and spread the word that it was Nan Anhou and his son who asked to see the horse.
When Lu Lin came in to speak, Duan Shaolan was sitting at the head of the bed talking to Xiao Xuan.
"Nan Anhou and his eldest son are coming to see you?" Xiao Xuan tilted his head and looked at Duan Shaolan, a little puzzled.
Duan Shaolan knew the inside story, when Xiao Jun left, it was sent out by Duan Shaolan, and Xiao Jun revealed to him that the wild bee colony was alarmed by the four sons of Nan Anhou. Therefore, yesterday, Nan Anhou's eldest son and fourth son were taken away by the Jinqiwei for questioning, but they were sent back that night.
"The reason why the wild bee colony was alarmed and attacked your group yesterday was because the four sons of Nan'an Hou shot down the beehive while playing." Duan Shaolan knew that Nan'anhou had a good relationship with Xianwangfu, and Mrs. Nan'anhou and Duansu County Lord had been friends for many years, and even Emperor Chu didn't say anything at the moment, so he should still give Nan'anhou face. "I want to come to Nan'anhou because I knew that you were injured and came to apologize, but I heard that there was no female dependents in Nan'anhou Mansion this time, and it was difficult for him to see you as a man, so I wanted to see me."
"Then go and meet him." Xiao Xuan leaned against the head of the bed, and the wound on his body from the bite of a wild bee was still faintly painful. However, I heard that the incident was caused by a ten-year-old child, and Xiao Xuan didn't say anything.
Xiao Xuan's tent was very large, with four separate rooms, and at this time, the maid of the princess's mansion led Nan Anhou and his eldest son to one of the rooms.
"I've seen a colt." As soon as he saw Duan Shaolan, Nan Anhou immediately got up.
"Uncle doesn't have to be polite." Because Mrs. Nan'anhou has a personal relationship with the Duansu County Lord, and Nan'anhou is from a clan, he is also the cousin of the Duansu County Lord, so Duan Shaolan and Nan'anhou are also familiar with each other. "I'm a junior, but I can't stand my uncle's courtesy, uncle and Brother Xin sit down."
Nan Anhou's eldest son has a single name, and because of the close relationship between the two families, his riding and archery was also studied with Duan Shaolan with Duan Lian, the righteous son of Zhenguo.
"Yesterday's incident caused Princess Zhaoyue to suffer innocently, I really can't rest assured, so I brought Brother Xin over to apologize." Nan Anhou said guiltily to Duan Shaolan. "The ladies of the family didn't come with them, so it was not convenient to meet the princess. I had to say sorry to you first, wait until the spring hunt is over and return to the imperial capital, and then let my wife come to the door to talk to the princess in person. ”
"His Royal Highness King Yi told me about the matter, but it was just a child who was naughty, and he made a mistake." Duan Shaolan shook his head and said. "The princess's injuries are all minor injuries, and it will be okay to recuperate for a few days, and the princess also instructed me when I came out, saying that this matter will just pass."
"The princess is really Your Majesty's beloved daughter, and she is as broad-minded as Your Majesty." Nan Anhou said and hurriedly asked people to bring up the gifts they brought. "Right now in the paddock, these things are given to the princess, and I apologize."
"I'll let my uncle take what he brought." Duan Shaolan knew that Nan Anhou was sensitive and a little timid, if he didn't accept things, he would have to make up how many things Nan Anhou would have to make up after he went back. "Brother Xin and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and yesterday I heard that you won the first place in the spring hunt, congratulations."
"Thank you, brother." Nan'an Hou's eldest son had a very good relationship with Duan Shaolan when he was young, but he was a little alienated after Duan Shaolan joined the Jinqiwei, and he always admired Duan Shaolan very much.
