Chapter 156: Birthday
Shangguan Huan fought for the country, escaped death countless times, and established countless military achievements. Even though the faint monarch was reluctant to accept his strength, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and under the noses of the people, he did not dare to swallow his military exploits, and he had to grit his teeth and reward him with hatred and fear. So although he is ranked ninth, he is the prince with the highest status. Even if the emperor withdrew his military power, the prestige he had fought for over the years was still undiminished.
Meng Yuxuan, as his princess, is naturally higher in rank than other princesses. Therefore, when she put on the gorgeous princess dress, the whole person was stunned. She grabbed the neckline that was so tight that she couldn't breathe, looked at Shangguan Huan sadly and said, "Do you have to wear it like this?" I couldn't breathe. ”
Shangguan Huan looked at her appearance and couldn't help but smile. At this time, he was also wearing a formal suit, and with a strong body, he wore a gorgeous outfit as sharp as armor. He put his arm around her waist and said, "If you don't like it, let's change our usual clothes." We're going through the motions anyway. ”
"No, I can't. If I don't play by the rules, that faint gentleman has even more reason to pick on your thorns. Meng Yuxuan took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.
"Dad, mother......" Shangguan Xi walked in from outside.
Shangguan Xi was the child of the former prince, but no one had ever told him. He always thought that he was Shangguan Huan's child. I was going to attend my birthday today, and Shangguan Huan thought about it for a long time and decided to tell him about it. Otherwise, let him hear the news from other people's mouths, maybe he won't be able to stand the blow. When he told Shangguan Xi the news, Shangguan Xi was silent for a long time. He saw sadness in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Shangguan Huan will not comfort people, and when he is at a loss, Shangguan Xi has already controlled his emotions. His personality is like that of his biological father, and he was born with leadership qualities. This is also the reason why Shangguan Huan wants to cultivate him.
"Xi'er, if you don't want to go......" Meng Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Xi's clothes and felt distressed for him.
It's really strange that the clothes of this era have to be worn in so many layers. The more valuable the status, the more clothes you wear. Although each piece is as thin as light yarn, it can't withstand the large number! Fortunately, Shangguan Xi practiced martial arts for a while, otherwise he would not be able to bear the weight of his clothes.
"Mother, I want to go." Shangguan Xi looked up with a small face and a serious expression. "I want to see what the man who killed my dad looks like."
"You're young, those things aren't for you to think about." Meng Yuxuan hugged him and said with pity: "Your revenge, your father will revenge." ”
Shangguan Xi took Meng Yuxuan's hand and looked at her with worried eyes: "I'm not my father's child, can I still call you mother?" ”
"Who says you're not? You will always be your father's child and your mother's child. You can call us that way for as long as you want. Meng Yuxuan touched his little face and said.
"Mother." Shangguan Xi whimpered: "Xi'er is afraid that you don't want me anymore." ”
"Fool. How could my mother not want you? You are your mother's favorite child. Meng Yuxuan wiped away her tears for Shangguan Xi. Xi'er, you'll have to follow me later. It's dangerous in the palace, and we weren't going to take you there. But the faint king didn't know what to do, and a holy decree forced us to obey the arrangement. You take a pill now, this pill can cure all kinds of poisons, so that they can't hurt you. ”
Shangguan Xi obediently took the pill. Meng Yuxuan and Shangguan Huan also ate. A family of three rushed to the palace in a horse-drawn carriage.
At the gate of the palace, the forbidden army stopped their carriage. When they saw that the person inside was Shangguan Huan, they immediately let them go.
"I've seen the Nine Princes." The forbidden soldiers gave a respectful military salute.
Shangguan Huan smiled lightly: "Are you all right?" ”
"Don't worry, your subordinates are all fine." One of them said with tears in his eyes: "The subordinates have been waiting for the prince to come back, and they have finally arrived. ”
"I'm going to drink with you another day." Shangguan Huan said to a few people.
"Yes." The crowd responded in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Meng Yuxuan only felt that those people were very familiar, and opened the curtain to look at them. When those people saw Meng Yuxuan, they also felt familiar. It wasn't until the carriage was far away that one of them patted his forehead and said, "I remember." Isn't that lady inside the pregnant woman we let go of last time? Do you remember? She disguised herself as a palace maid and entered the queen mother's palace through the back door. It's just, how could she be with the Nine Princes? ”
"Are you stupid? Today is the emperor's birthday, and she is wearing the princess's formal dress. Since she is with the Ninth Prince, of course she is the princess. The other said with an ugly face: "The emperor actually ...... to his daughter-in-law"
"Shhhh Don't die! The most stable forbidden soldier next to him said: "Don't talk about this matter again, our prince will not have face if he says it." ”
"We actually saved the princess." The tall forbidden soldier wiped his cold sweat and said, "If we hadn't been soft-hearted at that time, maybe the princess would have fallen into the clutches of the devil." Fortunately, my conscience was still there at that time, otherwise I would have to apologize with death today. ”
"As long as the prince gives an order, we must take the prince's head as a horse. Fuck the emperor......"
"But there is nothing we can do with the few of us. Recently, everyone has gone their separate ways, the prince has returned, and many brothers who have been assigned to other places do not know. We're going to bring the news to them. They will be happy to know it. ”
When the forbidden soldiers thought of Meng Yuxuan, the latter also thought of them. She took Shangguan Huan's hand and told her what she had met last time.
Shangguan Huan heard this and said with relief: "I must thank them well another day." They were originally my subordinates, and because of my involvement, the good generals were demoted to the forbidden army. In the military camp before, they protected me and embraced me, but now they have saved Xuan'er. I must repay this kindness. ”
"Hmm." Meng Yuxuan lifted the curtain, looked at the luxuriously decorated palace and said, "We have come in." Be careful from now on. ”
As soon as Meng Yuxuan's words fell, a eunuch said outside: "Prince, princess, little prince, please get off the carriage." ”
Shangguan Huan got out of the carriage first, then held her hand and took her down. Finally, he said to Shangguan Xi, who was standing in the carriage, "Come." ”
Shangguan Xi threw herself into Shangguan Huan's arms, and there was a brief relaxation on her little face.
"The Ninth Prince, the Ninth Princess has arrived." The eunuch at the door saw their family of three appear, and said in a loud voice.
In the palatial palace, a pair of eyes stared at the three of them. The gorgeously dressed ministers and ladies had suspicious eyes in their eyes, bowed their heads and whispered something. The whole palace is full of people, sitting in the place where they should be sitting according to their rank. A eunuch came and took them to the front position.
Meng Yuxuan looked around the entire palace, and in the face of the eyes of those strangers, she sat down with Shangguan Huan.
This was the first time she had seen a royal family other than the Faint King. Shangguan Huan ranked ninth, and there were eight brothers in front of him. The former crown prince died a few years ago, the fifth prince died young, and now there are six brothers left. Because Shangguan Huan had the highest merit, all six brothers sat behind him.
Of course, Shangguan Huan is not the one who sits first. Sitting in the first place is Princess Ziyang's family. That is, Shen Chenzhi's father and mother and Shen Chenzhi. Meng Yuxuan and Shangguan Huan's seats were next to Shen Chenzhi. Opposite them was Prime Minister Li Cheng's family, and Meng Yuxuan could see Li Ye when she looked up.
Shangguan Xi sat between Shangguan Huan and Meng Yuxuan. Shangguan Huan quietly held Meng Yuxuan's hand below, looking at her expression from time to time.
Meng Yuxuan understood Shangguan Huan's thoughts. Seeing Li Ye, she was indeed a little uncomfortable. However, I had expected to see him here, so I was already trying to control my emotions. Li Ye's eyes kept looking at her, even if Shangguan Huan was here, he didn't move a bit.
Meng Yuxuan didn't dare to stare at him. She was afraid to see the emotions she didn't dare to face. Now she has no way to give him hope.
"Mother, why does the good-looking person on the other side keep staring at you?" Shangguan Xi raised his little face and asked curiously.
"He's not looking at his mother, he's looking at Xi'er. He thought Xi'er was cute. Meng Yuxuan touched Shangguan Xi's little face and said.
"Brother Ye, you're so early." A woman in red sat next to Li Ye, approached Li Ye and said, "What are you looking at?" Why ignore me? Who is that man? ”
The woman in red looked at Meng Yuxuan opposite, frowned and said, "Isn't that Uncle Nine?" Is that the one next to her her princess? I heard that he was from a low background. It's really a fox, and it's not a serious woman when you look at it. However, Uncle Nine's identity must not be picky. ”
"County Lord, you insulted your uncle and your aunt. The Nine Princes have made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, and if it weren't for him, this country would have existed in name only. You have been able to live a happy life for so many years, and that is because the Nine Princes are desperately fighting the enemy on the border. How can you say that about your own uncle and aunt? Li Ye turned his head and looked at the woman in red with an expressionless face, that is, the eldest daughter of the third prince, the county lord Linglong.
The lord of Linglong is a concubine and has always been deeply loved. This is the first time that a man has refused to give her face in front of everyone, and at that moment she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. She had red eyes and said in shame, "What's wrong with insulting him?" Who doesn't know that his mother is a fox, obviously married, and seduced the emperor. I don't know if he's my serious uncle! I don't want to recognize such relatives. Brother Ye, you actually scolded me for an outsider. I am the lord of the county, a royal prince and nobleman, how can I compare with those who are of unknown origin? ”
"The county lord is angry." Prime Minister Li didn't want to participate in the conversation between the two juniors, but seeing that the county lord of Linglong was crying angrily by Li Ye, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know anything, so he had to come forward to play a round. Ye'er was also worried that the county lord would be hated, so she reminded the county lord. The influence of the Nine Princes in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer the martial artist who had nothing at the beginning. Now more than half of the military generals in the court are loyal to him, and some of the ministers have also surrendered to him. ”
