Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Chengqian Hall, the palace of the emperors since the establishment of the Daxia Dynasty, the dragon pattern is a symbol of status.

Eunuch Wang led Princess Duanmin to stop at the door of the study room. The door of the study room was still closed, and there were guards with serious expressions standing outside. Eunuch Wang glanced at the people following Princess Duanmin and bowed. Said: "Eldest princess, the emperor is waiting for you inside."

Princess Duan Min nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.

Shangguan Rui's expression darkened slightly when he heard this, and the sneer on the corner of Princess Duanmin's lips was very dazzling, as if mocking his ignorance. 13acv.

Before the crown prince passed away, he had already started to deal with the power of Prince Wei's residence. At that time, he only wanted to clear the obstacles for his son, and never thought that he would not have that blessing. On the contrary, the crown prince has passed away now, but the gap between him and Wei Wangfu already exists, and Shangguan Hao is not a vulgar person, so how can he not be afraid in his heart.

Shangguan Rui said: "Miss Huang, you don't have to be so provocative. This time you tortured the Prince and Concubine Qin without my order. I will definitely punish you, so I will fine you with one year's salary. Go back to the princess mansion and think about it for three months." .”

Eunuch Wang waited for Princess Duanmin to enter, and closed the door behind him, but did not follow in to serve her.

Shangguan Rui knew that Rong Dahai had to torture Wei Qingluan under the order of Princess Duan Minchang. Of course, in Shangguan Rui's eyes, the reason why Princess Duan Minchang specifically targeted Wei Qingluan was because her surname was Wei, and she was Wei Yanqing's beloved. daughter of the prostitute.

The first emperor had always wanted to choose a good son-in-law for Princess Duanmin, but Shangguanrui, who was supercilious, was not satisfied. This was until Shangguanrui was 25 years old. In the Daxia Dynasty, girls usually married. Shangguanrui This kind of old girl would be an old girl who no one cares about in ordinary people, but as the most favored daughter of the first emperor, she didn't need to care about other people's eyes at all, and flirted with several children from aristocratic families with outstanding family status and good looks. The first emperor just casually said a few words about how she should live in the future or how to live.

She personally ordered Wei Yanqing's wife to be arrested, blocked Wei Yanqing, and said that if Wei Yanqing continued to abuse her wife, she would kill her on the spot. Anyway, as long as she died, the position of the first wife would naturally be given come out.

Today's Princess Duanmin is nearly 50 years old, but her face is still maintained very successfully. Looking at it this way, there is no trace of slack in the skin. The slightly raised Danfeng eyes, the skin as thin as fat, only the corners of the eyes. Some fine lines reveal the vicissitudes of time.

"Ahem——" Shangguan Rui coughed, and he really had nothing to do with this Huangjie, because she has always been willful, "Huangjie, that incident has been going on for so many years, and now that person is gone. Dead, can't you let go?"

"Uncle Huang is a veteran of three generations. In the hearts of the people in the Northwest, the God of War in the Great Xia Dynasty has far more prestige than you, the emperor. Even if he surrenders the military power in the Northwest now, the people sent by the emperor can suppress that group. The general brought out by the emperor's uncle, the Northwest Army probably only recognizes Prince Qin." Princess Duanmin's tone was very leisurely, as if what she said was just ordinary gossip, and she did not provoke the weak foundation of trust in the emperor's heart .

Shangguan Rui waved his hand expressionlessly. Princess Duanmin walked out of the gate of Chengqian Palace slowly with a smile on her lips. As an emperor, no one is not suspicious. The trust of the government will become weaker and weaker.

Princess Duanmin glanced at the emperor, and said: "What did the emperor say? Doesn't the emperor not want to take down Wei Wangfu in one fell swoop?"

Princess Duanmin bowed to Shangguan Rui, but it was not a bowing ceremony. Princess Duanmin was five years older than Shangguan Rui. Because she was deeply loved by the late emperor, there was quite a king of Wei among the princes. Although Shangguan Rui was Her direct brother, the two of them are only connected by blood.

Over the years, the only time Princess Duanmin suffered a setback was when Wei Yanqing, the former Marquis of Weiyuan, suffered.

Until Shangguanrui met Wei Yanqing, the eldest son of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, Princess Duanmin, she was obsessed for some reason, and wanted to marry Wei Yanqing, but Wei Yanqing already had a wife at that time, even two She already has an eldest son, Wei Che.

Two years later, when Princess Duanmin returned to Beijing, she no longer pestered Wei Yanqing, but since then her life has become more and more rotten. In the past, she was just playing flirtatious games with many men, but after that she began to openly tease Wei Yanqing. The government hoarded noodles and became the most maverick woman in Shangjing.

No matter how much the late emperor loved Princess Duanmin, it was impossible for him to confront the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty because of this daughter. In the early court, he reprimanded Princess Duanmin and sent her out of the capital for two years.

"Your majesty, your most trusted Shangguan also lied to you. Isn't the name of a dude he deliberately created to confuse your eyes with all his kung fu? Maybe it's the emperor's uncle's idea. The eldest grandson hides his strength, if there is no dissent, why bother?" Princess Duanmin said calmly.

Princess Duanmin bent her lips, walked directly to a chair beside her and sat down, gently stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingers, with an inexplicable light in her eyes, she suddenly raised her head to look at Shangguan Rui, He laughed and said: "Your Majesty should know Shangguan Jue's abilities too. He has the upper hand against our five hidden guards. You should be very clear about how powerful the royal hidden guards are. Don't you still think that Shangguan Jue is being suppressed by others?" The prince who was abandoned by Prince Qin's mansion is the number one rich man in Shangjing?"

Wei Yanqing is the eldest son of the Marquis of Weiyuan, who was forced to commit suicide by the royal princess, and Mrs. Wei was also seriously injured. This incident can be said to have shocked the court. Ministers who were not pleasing to the eye submitted memorials one after another, criticizing her for not having the slightest air of a royal princess, and Princess Duanmin was almost criticized by everyone.

Princess Duanmin didn't hide what she did. Even if a royal princess has a noble status, forcing others to divorce their wives is really domineering. What's more, the Marquis of Weiyuan is not a family that can be fooled casually. .

Mrs. Wei was also stubborn, and she was not timid about the threat of Princess Duanmin. The situation at that time was beyond consideration, but the result of the incident was that Mrs. Wei was stabbed in the abdomen, and Wei Yanqing killed himself with a dagger, saying that even if he hurt himself, he would definitely not hurt himself. She will not marry Shangguan Rui.

Duan Minchang Princess stood up, with a very calm expression on her face, bowed her body and said: "I will just accept the punishment, Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the Princess Mansion to think about it."

There was no one serving in the study, Shangguan Rui was sitting at the desk and looking at the piles of memorials. He raised his head when he heard the movement, and said: "Miss Huang is here." Then he put it down pen in hand.

Princess Duanmin paused for a moment, and looked up at Shangguan Rui, only to see that his head was slightly lowered, the light and shadow cast a darkness on his face, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

The words of Princess Duanmin made Shangguan Rui's eyes darken. The death of the crown prince has become a pain in his heart. Of course, he also understands in his heart that the princess concubine of Wei Wang may not be the real murderer. After all, no one would be foolish to kill Man also leaves himself on the spot.

These words were originally asked by the first emperor in private, but this conversation was spread for some reason, and everyone in the court knew it. It was the first time that Princess Duanmin encountered something unsatisfactory in her 25 years of success. As proud as she is, she naturally couldn't swallow this breath.

"But you can't directly attack the princess of Qin Dynasty." Shangguan Rui said directly, if he wanted the princess of Wei to be the murderer who killed the prince, then she would be the murderer. There is no need for torture. Princess Duanmin's behavior is more like deliberately targeting Wei Qingluan, but she cannot ignore Wei Qingluan's other identity now. Uncle or Shangguanjue would allow her to target people in Prince Qin's mansion like this.

But Shangguan Rui didn't win all of this for them. To Princess Duanmin, mother and brother are just a title. As long as she lives happily, others are nothing to her.

Because the first emperor liked Shangguanrui and couldn't bear to let her be bullied because of his mother and concubine, the first emperor promoted their mother and concubine, and it was also because of Shangguanrui that the first emperor noticed his son among many sons.

Shangguan Rui got up and got down, looking up at the woman in front of her who had been famous for decades. As a child of the royal family, Princess Duanmin, Shangguan Rui was undoubtedly the happiest. She was happier than all the sons of the late emperor. The late emperor would be suspicious His son, because his son was staring at the seat behind him, but he loved Duanmin the eldest princess endlessly, even Shangguan Rui didn't understand why the late emperor liked his elder sister so much, Even at the beginning, including the mother and his son, they were all in Shangguanrui's favor.

No matter how much the late emperor loved Shangguan Rui, he could not break up a loving couple just because of the waywardness of a princess, not to mention that Wei Yanqing clearly expressed to the late emperor that he loved his wife very much, and that there would be no other women in this life. If he wanted to send Shangguanrui to Weiyuanhou's mansion, he would not compromise.

Seeing Princess Duanmin leaving, Eunuch Wang entered the study room, and saw the emperor sitting quietly on a chair. In the huge study room, the lights cast a lonely shadow on the ground, everything seemed very lonely.

I don't know how long it took before Shangguan Rui raised his head and glanced at Wang Gonggong: "How is Wei Qingluan's body?"

Follow the emperor. "Follow me to have a look." Shangguan Rui walked out as he spoke, and Eunuch Wang hurriedly followed.
