Chapter 281: Xiangye
"In that case, why did the prince's brother choose that girl?"
Meng Xiangye was speechless again, so he had to hug his daughter tightly and patted her on the back gently, "Girl, don't worry, Daddy will talk to that stinky boy for your happiness, and he doesn't know who helped him keep his current status." β
"But, Brother Prince, will he listen to you? He is now bent on going his own way, and he doesn't have the same pity for his daughter as he did at the beginning, and I'm afraid he will show his face to his father......"
"How dare he?!" Meng Hui's face sank, his eyes were slightly cold, "Even if he is the prince, then he doesn't dare to show his face to your father, your father is not only his uncle, but also the prime minister, his current position as the prince is not stable, the old man doesn't believe it, he still dares to show his face to the old man?" β
When Meng Hui said this, Meng Linglang couldn't help but stop crying, and peeked at her father, but saw that her father's face was gloomy, she hurriedly said, "Brother Prince naturally doesn't dare, after all, you are his own uncle, even if he puts on a face to anyone, he won't show a face to you." He knows that you are the best person for him. β
Saying this, Meng Hui's face improved, then patted Meng Linglang's shoulder and sighed, "Daddy just came back, there are still things to deal with, this matter, Daddy will find time to say it." β
Meng Linglang nodded, and then watched Meng Hui leave.
After watching Meng Hui leave, Meng Linglang breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes were red again.
She sat on the threshold and thought repeatedly, she couldn't think of why Shangguan Haoyue would abandon her and marry such a woman.
In terms of beauty, family background, and culture, she is Meng Xiangye's only daughter, and she will not lose to her no matter how she compares.
What is there about her that makes the prince's brother defend her in every way?
From childhood to adulthood, she and Shangguan Haoyue grew up together, they are intimate, they are close to plum sweethearts, they are a recognized couple, she has liked Shangguan Haoyue since she was a child, and she feels that it is natural to be the crown princess in the future.
However, it was like this that she killed a jade candle and snatched away the honor that belonged to her.
Daddy once said that she would sit on the throne of the crown princess, and then after Shangguan Haoyue ascended the throne, she would sit on the throne of the queen.
Daddy said that she would become the most noble woman in Yingguo, and like her aunt, she would become a queen.
She doesn't care how many women Shangguan Haoyue will have and how many concubines he will have, after all, if he becomes the emperor in the future, there should be seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts, she just needs to sit in that position.
As long as they sit in that position, their Meng family will become the first family of relatives, as long as they sit in that position, Dad will always become the head of the hundred officials, as long as they sit in that position, who in the world will not obey their Meng family?
However, now things have suddenly changed, she has not yet sat on the position of the crown princess, someone has sat in that seat, if it is a young lady of the prince and grandson, it is nothing, and she is a disfigured lowly girl, how can they be willing?
Is the prince's brother really obsessed?
That girl is so ugly and despicable, why is he so determined to marry her?
Does he know how dangerous that would be, and that his father would be so disillusioned with him that he would switch to someone else's side?
King Jin, the eldest son of the emperor and the son of the current queen, he is a prince who is eyeing the crown prince, and he can't wait for Shangguan Haoyue to be isolated by everyone, doesn't he know?
Just when he announced that he was going to marry Yuzhu as the crown princess, the king of Jin, Shangguan Haoyan, had already sent someone to secretly meet his father, wanting his father to abandon Shangguan Haoyue and choose to support him.
Of course his father will not agree, after all, Shangguan Haoyan is an outsider to him, and no matter how close he is, he has no nephew of his own, but if the prince's brother insists on doing that, maybe the father will agree to Shangguan Haoyan for the sake of face and the future of his baby daughter, if the father really agrees, so what?
What she likes is always the prince's brother Shangguan Haoyue, the prince's brother who has spoiled her and taken care of her since she was a child!
Meng Linglang hugged himself and sat on the threshold, never figuring it out.
As soon as Meng Hui returned to the study, his entourage stepped forward and said, "Xiangye, today the King of Jin secretly sent someone to give gifts, and he also wrote a letter for his subordinates to pass it on." β
Meng Hui sat down, his face couldn't hide his tiredness, "Bring it, the old man will take a look." β
"Yes."
The attendant handed the letter to Meng Hui, Meng Hui reached out to take it, then opened the letter, looked at it, and then couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Hao Yue, Hao Yue, what do you want your uncle to say about you?" What the hell do you think? β
Looking at Meng Hui's appearance, the entourage guessed the content of the letter, and couldn't help but say, "Xiangye, maybe the prince just has another hidden reason for doing this?" Shouldn't Xiangye have a good talk with the prince? β
"Talk to him?" Meng Hui's face sank, "He didn't take the old man's uncle to heart, do you want the old man to talk to him?" He really thinks that he is sitting in the position of the crown prince? He doesn't look at how many eyes are watching? He also doesn't want to think about how many people will be so excited that they can't sleep? β
"However, even if the public doesn't say it, just by being private, you have to talk to the prince well, after all, that is the lifelong happiness of the young lady, how can the prince be angry with the prince and not talk about it?"
"Presumptuous!" When the entourage said this, Meng Hui's face changed, and his tone sank, "The old man is the prime minister, how can he be angry with the prince?" When you say that, don't you mean that the old man showed the prince his face? β
The entourage hurriedly knelt down, "Xiangye forgives the sin, he made a mistake at the next moment, please punish Xiangye." β
Listening to his entourage's confession, Meng Hui's face softened a little, "Get up!" β
The attendant got up and peeked at Meng Hui, but saw Meng Hui thoughtfully tapping on the armrest of the chair, and then said, "Return the gift, the old man will reply to the letter, and you will hand it over for the old man." β
"Yes."
Shangguan Haoyue is approving the document in the study, after all, he is His Royal Highness the Prince, since he is sitting in this position, he has to share the emperor's worries.
At this time, Yang Ze walked in and saluted Shangguan Hao, who let him get up without raising his head.
After Yang Ze stood still, the corners of his lips smiled slightly, "I was guessed by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the King of Jin heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to marry Jade Candle, so he couldn't wait to give gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion repeatedly, and today is no exception." β
"Hmm......" Shangguan Haoyue replied without jumping his eyelids.
Yang continued, "The prince guessed correctly again, and Xiangye returned the gift. β
Shangguan Haoyue put down his pen and looked up at Yang Ze with a slight smile, "It seems that this uncle, the prince, is really unabandoning the prince!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Shangguan Haoyue continued, "After all, he is a nephew, so he is not in a hurry, but I am not afraid that he will defect." β
"My subordinates think that the prince should have a good talk with Xiangye, Xiangye is your uncle after all, he will understand you and support you."
Shangguan Haoyue continued to laugh and said, "Naturally, if my uncle doesn't understand, then this prince won't take this step." β
At this time, a guard came in to tell him that the jade candle was coming.
Shangguan Haoyue raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Let her in." β
Speaking of which, Shangguan Haoyue and this prospective fiancΓ©e seem to have not seen each other for a while!
Yu Zhu came in with a stack of books and saluted Shangguan Haoyue, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the book you want to read today, and the slave and maid sent it over." β
"Hmm." Shangguan Hao also looked at her, "Let it go!" β
"Yes." The jade candle answered, put the book in the corner of the desk, and then retreated, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid retire!" β
"Wait a minute." Shangguan Haoyue said, "Don't worry, this prince has a lot of official documents to review today, and it is too laborious to grind the ink yourself, you can grind the ink for the prince." β
"...... "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is no longer within the scope of her work.
However, since she is a descendant of the prince's mansion, whatever the prince says is what she says.
So, she answered, stepped forward, stood next to the desk, and then sharpened the ink very seriously.
Yang Ze glanced at it, saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking thoughtfully at the hand of the jade candle grinding ink, and had a trace of conjecture in his heart, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates are retiring. β
"Hmm."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still staring at the hand of the jade candle, like the finger of the jade candle, which is incredibly beautiful.
In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thinking about how a woman in distress could have such a pair of green fingers when she went to the Qinglou and lived in a dilapidated firewood house.
Speaking of which, last time Yang said that Shangguan Haoyan, the king of Jin, seemed to appreciate her very much, veiled, how could he appreciate it?
"You seem unusually well-behaved today?"
Jade Candle kept pointing her fingers, but asked, "Could it be that the slave has not been well-behaved all along?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Shangguan Haoyue looked up at the jade candle, the jade candle was still covered with white veil, and the face behind the white veil was hazy.
"Since you're studying medicine, have you found a way to heal your face?"
Yu Zhu didn't expect Shangguan Haoyue to say this suddenly, his body stiffened slightly, but his fingers didn't stop, there was nothing unusual, after all, the hand that was used to holding a scalpel would not tremble because of such a small tension.
"The slave maid is just studying medical books, not a doctor, but not so powerful, besides, even if the slave and maid find it, they don't dare to try, the current face is ugly, if you get the wrong medicine, let the face hurt even more, so if you accidentally drop the veil, it will definitely scare people to death."
Hearing Yu Zhu say this, Shangguan Haoyue couldn't help laughing, "You are very self-aware. β
After speaking, Shangguan Haoyue picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wanted to continue to approve the document, but he took out the rice paper, thought about it for a while, and then put down the pen, and the two lines of words were completed on the white rice paper overnight.
The pen is turned back, showing chic, the pen is like a god, white paper and black words, extraordinarily distinct.
Shangguan Haoyue looked at the words on his rice paper with satisfaction, and asked with a smile, "How?" β
Yu Zhu looked at the words on the rice paper, and then replied, "They all say that the words are like their people, looking at the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is like seeing the people of the Prince's Palace, they are really chic and uninhibited, and they are full of domineering." β
"Yo!" Shangguan Haoyue raised his eyebrows, "Are you praising Prince Ben?" β
Jade Candle looked at Shangguan Haoyue in surprise, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worthy of praise?" Or do slaves dare to open their eyes and tell nonsense? β
...... "Do you open your eyes and tell nonsense less?"
