Volume 1: Peach Blossom Chapter 15: Willow Peach Overture (5)

There are a few pedestrians on the streets, and from time to time, a group of night patrol soldiers will pass back and forth.

Cloaked in the twilight of the stars, Shangguan Qi returned to Prince Rong's mansion with a little tiredness. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhengrong Courtyard, he was stopped by Princess Rong's personal grandmother and knelt down to pay respects.

"The old slave Li Xiao's family sees the prince of the world, and the prince of the world is blessed with Jin'an!"

Shangguan Qi's eyelids twitched, his dry lips opened and closed, and he asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Get up, where is the concubine...... Is there anything to command? ”

Mama Li stood up slowly, and replied with a kind face: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the princess wants you to go over, and she has something to say to you." ”

"Okay, I know, wait a minute, this son will wash up and go over." Shangguan Qiyun responded lightly.

"Yes, Lord Shizi. The old slave retires! ”

Li Xiao knew the temperament of this prince, and he didn't say anything to him, so he happily knelt down again and saluted, singing and retiring.

Shangguan Qi sent Mama Li away, strode forward, and went straight to the clean room. I didn't leave any extra eyes to pay attention to the movements of the other servants in the courtyard. All his senses were clamouring at his discomfort, and there was no place in his body that was not uncomfortable.

He was so irritable that he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't wait to bathe and change his clothes immediately, and wash away the dust and sweat smell of his body. As if this is the only way to feel that he is not a walking dead. He doesn't understand what is going on with him, he can still give what he wants at home, but once he is outside, when the conditions of foreign things do not allow, what does he pay attention to?

Shangguan Qi sometimes feels that he is too hypocritical, but he allows himself to be hypocritical when he should be. Since the conditions of foreign objects allow, why should he wronged himself! And when you can't pay attention to it, you grit your teeth and endure, stay up, and bear it. At that time, as long as you can't die, the big husband can bend and stretch, and the survival of the fittest is the battlefield!

And in those years, during the period when he was leading troops to fight outside, he didn't know how he carried it at that time! Afterwards, even he couldn't believe it. He really could endure the appearance of himself not bathing for ten days and a half, covered in blood and sweat - stains and dust staining his whole body. Sometimes they don't even have the conditions to drink water and water, and even their hands are dirty or even bloody when they take food, and they ...... You can take the rough noodles and bite like that, and eat them without disgust.

Fortunately, he survived after all! Although he has been pampered since he was a child, he lives a fine and luxurious life. But fortunately, he will judge the situation and know what he should do when and when. It's like -- he never tolerates it when he should be careful and meticulous, and he will definitely endure it when he should eat rough and ugly.

And his name as a patriotic general is that he is not afraid of hardship, tiredness, dirty, difficulty, and death on the battlefield! In addition, it is his innate military talent and strong perception of danger, and his keen insight, judgment, and decision-making ability to the situation. And, enough wise mind and the palace to cultivate him carefully for several years. Even, there is no lack of luck. This pile by piece, stacked with weights, has made today's patriotic general - Shangguan Qi.

Rongwangfu, Jiaheyuan, Yuxiu Pavilion

Under Zizhu's report, Yang Jinggang learned the news that Shangguan Qi had returned to the house. She immediately assigned Zizhu to intercept the man, hoping to bring the man to her Yuxiu Pavilion. But before Zizhu went, the little maid who was sent out to inquire came back to report that the prince had returned to Zhengrong Courtyard.

There was no way, Yang Jing could only tell Zizhu to go to Zhengrong Courtyard to ask for someone again. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zizhu arrived at the back door of Zhengrong Courtyard, she was stopped by two dedicated guards. Zizhu was so good at talking that she agreed to help her pass it on. As a result, she waited for almost a cup of tea, and only waited for a dismount. Shi Ziye's harsh criticism was very hurtful, and he didn't leave any affection for Yang Jing.

The original words of the prince were: "Go back and tell your concubine that you still want to live well in the palace, so you will stay in Jiaheyuan in peace, don't play tricks and tricks, try to challenge the bottom line of tolerance of this prince, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" ”

Zizhu was very nervous and brought the words to Yang Jing, and Yang Jing was deeply shocked after hearing this. Can't believe her ears, she confirmed to Zizhu in disbelief, "Zizhu, did you really hear it right?" How can it be! He ...... He actually ...... Say that about me! She shook the purple beads vigorously as she spoke.

Zizhu looked at Yang Jing's devastated appearance, and felt a little stunned. Her shoulder was grabbed by Yang Jing and hurt, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and said in anticipation...... Concubine Niangniang...... It's true! He did say so, the slave didn't dare to deceive you! ”

Yang Jing let go of the hand that was holding Zizhu's shoulder, sat on the edge of the carved shelf bed in despair, and muttered, "He said so about me!" He said I, how could she say that about me! How can it be? ”

Yang Jing's side was hurt a lot because of the man's words. On Shangguan Qi's side, the man washed and dressed, and without even taking a sip of tea, he hurried to Princess Rong's courtyard. At this time, it was already two o'clock, and he had to go early and return early, trying not to delay his mother's bedtime.

Rongwangfu, Ningtaiyuan, Rongningtang, Erya Pavilion

Gorgeous and exquisite gauze curtains hang vertically, and exotic flowers and plants are scattered all over the house. There are two oversized gold-wire birdcages hanging on the high pole of agarwood, and in the cages are a pair of golden-bodyed, red-winged, red-tailed, red-billed thrushes, which are rare in the world, and a pair of black-bodyed, golden-winged, red-billed parrots. Shangguan Lu was tending to a pot of rare red-hearted orchids, and she was personally wiping the dust of the flowers and leaves. Occasionally, I talked and laughed with Wei Xu's two grandmothers and two big girls, which was quite leisurely.

But when he thought of Prince Rong's pre-marital acceptance of his son and Mrs. Weiguohou's visit, his attitude was noncommittal. Princess Rong's brows couldn't help frowning. Wang Ye's health has deteriorated in recent years, and he has been bedridden almost all year round since last winter. Maybe it was because of his limited mental strength, or maybe it was his trust in his son, he didn't ask anything, and only said a few words lightly - Wufeng was already an adult, and he knew what he was doing. At the same time, persuade her not to interfere too much and to trust her son. No matter how bad the situation is, at most the name is flawed, and the color makes the mind dizzy.

"Slave maid, see the prince of the world, the prince of the world is blessed with Jin'an!"

"Old slave, see the prince of the world, the prince of the world, the blessing of Jin'an!"

Outside the Erya Pavilion, a series of untidy greetings sounded. As soon as Shangguan Lu heard it, he knew that it was Shangguan Qi who had come.

Seeing that her son had come to look for her, Shangguan Lu no longer fiddled with the pot of orchids. She handed the handkerchief with three points of moisture in her hand to the big girl beside her.
