Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3589 648. Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water (The Queen loves her son eagerly)
  "Greetings to the Queen -"

Marquis Shangguan walked up to the queen and greeted her very politely.

Looking at her polite son, why did the queen say——

"Get up, get up, come on, let me take a good look at you~"

Marquis Shangguan didn't say anything, but stepped forward. The queen vacated her chair, which was an obvious sign that she wanted the other party to sit down.

Before Marquis Shangguan sat down, he made a very subtle move. He actually looked in the direction of Lord Shangguan at the moment when he turned back.

Sure enough, the expressions of the Shangguan princes at this time were very tense, and they were obviously very unhappy with their mother's favor.

When his brother's eyes met his own, he quickly showed a smile. This change of expression showed that his acting skills were second to none.

After all, they are two brothers, and they often interact and conflict with each other on a daily basis. However, some conflicts are superficial, and some conflicts are hidden secretly.

The relationship between the two people is just to maintain a superficial peace, but in fact they have long been inseparable and hate each other to the core.

Although Shangguan Marquis knew that if he cooperated with his mother's love, he would definitely offend his brother in the audience and make his jealousy explode again. However, Shangguan Marquis obviously did not take his brother seriously and sat down very affectionately. On the phoenix chair.

Does this kind of action count as provocation?

Maybe...

"Have you lost weight recently? I haven't seen you for a while. Why do you think you have lost a lot of weight?"

The Empress touched the head of her Shangguan Marquis with great distress. The Empress could not conceal her concern and distress for the Shangguan Marquis who looked slightly haggard.

After seeing all this, Shangguan Zhu was obviously filled with hatred, but with a flattering fake smile on his face, he echoed the Queen's words -

"Isn't it? It's rare that my father is so considerate that he sent his second brother to Western Xinjiang to help the Cao family quell the civil strife. Only the Marquis himself knows the hard work here."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen felt even more distressed and said: "I have heard about this matter a long time ago, and so has your father-in-law. He always arranges so many heavy tasks for you and doesn't care about your health."

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother is not worried about anything else, but her mother who has traveled thousands of miles, not to favor anyone.

But these words were heard by Shangguan Zhu, and he was planning to gain some opportunities for himself.

"Mother, is it because I don't know something? Or my second brother has extraordinary abilities. It would be hard for someone else's father to hand over these heavy tasks, wouldn't it? The princes are willing to share the worries of the father, but... unfortunately, the princes' abilities are limited. This weak body is not as proud as the second brother Chunfeng. He can do everything for his father and the Quan clan, so he can only do his part..."

Look at the hard work and flattering words, that is, he Shangguan Lords can play it, and he plays it so deeply that it is difficult to tell the truth from the lie.

However, this Shangguan Marquis is not a fool. He has been fighting with Shangguan princes for a long time, and he has already known the other party's methods. Every time he gives up and pretends to be pitiful, it is the first step for him to start asking for it. The very vigilant Marquis Shangguan suddenly sat up and said: "It's not a big hassle. The Lord Cao personally picked up and dropped off the whole journey. It didn't take much time and effort. The White Tiger Roaring Yin of the Cao family is really a real person." Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, you can come and go freely, and you will be where you want in an instant. As for helping the other party and assessing the civil strife... My father said that I should go to practice military training. There is no need to take it too seriously. I only blame that The ability of the rebels in Western Xinjiang is too weak, so they can be wiped out without any effort."

Marquis Shangguan deliberately lowered the difficulty of this journey in order to curb Shangguan's desires.

"Is it really?"

But the queen didn't know it, she simply thought that her son was just reporting good news but not bad news, in order to ease her old man's heart.

In addition, before the arrival of Marquis Shangguan, the princes of Shangguan had already visited in advance and deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of Marquis Shangguan's journey to the Western Frontier in order to win the sympathy of the Queen.

People are animals with preconceptions. Which mother doesn’t think about her son? After hearing what the Shangguan princes said, the Queen felt frightened and felt even more sorry for her little son.

And all of this was premeditated by the Shangguan princes, who were rearranging their plans.

Regardless of whether Shangguan Marquis is proving himself or defending himself, the Queen Empress has already realized in her mind that her youngest son usually works too hard, and what he says to her is somewhat watery, but she doesn’t want to let her down. It's just my own concerns.

"Marquis, you are like this again. You are always aggrieved. Is it appropriate for you to die alone?"

As she said that, the Queen's hand just slipped to the area covered by his hair, and when she gently lifted his forehead, this move really frightened the Marquis Shangguan, because he knew very well that he was in this place on the battlefield before. The injury had not healed, and there was still a scar.

In order not to worry his mother, he specially ordered his servants to cut off some of his hair to cover up the scars, because he was very aware of his mother's character of worrying about gains and losses, and if she saw him injured, she would most likely think it over. It’s been a while.

In order to dispel his mother's concerns, Marquis Shangguan thought of all the ways to think of, but in the end...

How did such an obscure thing reach mother's ears?
  Which part went wrong?

Just as Shangguan Marquis was covering it up with his hands, the Queen didn't allow him to cover it up at all, and directly showed the other person's wound and said, "What's going on? Why is there such a big scar?"

The Marquis Shangguan could not argue, and could only explain helplessly: "On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight, and injuries are just a common thing. There is no need to worry about the Queen Mother. The Marquis has already asked the doctor and said that this is a flesh injury that cannot be healed by applying some plaster." It will heal in a few days and there won’t be any scars left.”

Having said this, the Queen Empress would not buy it, and she complained again: "So does your father, why do you always leave these nonsense to you? Even if I have greater power and greater responsibility, I can't do this to you, right? , look at how many scars you have left on your body from traveling around all these years, can you not worry about me?"

As she spoke, the Queen began to shed tears again. Such sincere expression made Marquis Shangguan at a loss.

"Queen Mother, don't cry. I will be careful in the future. The Marquis is too careless. I must protect myself in the future. Today, the Queen Mother is holding a special birthday party for the Marquis. It is a big day, so we can't mess up everyone with such a trivial matter. interest."

With that said, Marquis Shangguan took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped the tears of his mother.
