Daughter of Hou's Mansion

When Shangguan Jue pulled Shangguan Li over, his face was a little embarrassed. If he was able to face Qingluan calmly before, it was because he didn't know what happened in Shangjing. Now he has understood the whole process. , I feel more ashamed.

Qingluan opened the food box, inside was the noodles that the woman in the kitchen had just made, sprinkled with fragrant sesame sauce, Shangguanjue said flatteringly, "Aluan, how do you know that I like to eat this?" Politely picked a bowl directly.

It was already noon, and at this time, big pots of rice from the barracks were delivered. Of course, there were also many caring lunches like Shangguanjue who had wives and love.

Qingluan knew that he was a close talker, so he didn't bother to talk about him, so he took another clean bowl, picked one and handed it to Shangguan Li who was at the side.

"I don't know what you like to eat. There is also the stewed beef stewed by the whole sister-in-law here. It tastes good. Do you want to try it?" Qingluan asked with a smile when she saw that Shangguanli had been silent.

Her kindness made Shangguan Li feel even more uncomfortable, and he said guiltily, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Qingluan was stunned, and then realized where Shangguanli's guilt came from, and said: "Second brother, you are you, they are them, and I will depend on your care after I arrive in Stone City."

Even Concubine Xiao and the Chen family planned Shangguanjue's life, but he still regarded Shangguanli as his younger brother. Shangguanjue's kinship was already weak, so he cherished the only one who regarded him as a relative. Brother, naturally she is also grateful to him.

Shangguan Jue patted Shangguan Li on the shoulder and said: "Okay, if you really feel guilty, I will leave this place to you in the afternoon, and I will accompany your sister-in-law well."

Shangguan Li was taken aback for a moment, and replied repeatedly: "Brother, you can go, I'll just watch over here."

Only then did Shangguan Jue smile in satisfaction, then turned his head and blinked at Qingluan.Qingluan was very helpless towards his behavior. Anyway, he is now a general of Yicheng. He thought that he could at least be more stable than before. Unexpectedly, he was still the same as before, but Shangguanli still looked extremely admirable. What's the point? Worship, but just a ruffian.

When the stomach was full, the work of tidying up was handed over to Bai Tian, ​​and Shangguan didn't even use the carriage, so he just pulled Qingluan away.He probably didn't put on airs among the defenders, and when the two of them left, they were greeted with a lot of good-natured whistles.

Shangguanjue responded with a cheeky face, anyway, these people were jealous of her, so Qingluan's face was so hot that she would have no face to face anyone in the future, this Shangguanjue's cheek is still so thick.

When she finally left those playful gazes, Qingluan couldn't help but step on Shangguanjue.

Shangguan Jue knew that Qingluan was actually shy, but he really liked teasing Qingluan like this from the bottom of his heart, he howled exaggeratedly, and said: "Aluan, you must have learned this trick from sister-in-law Quan, brother Quan Such a brave general on the battlefield is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees Mrs. Quan, he must have some tricks."

The women in Stone City are hot-tempered, even those who hold a rolling pin and chase their husbands all over the city are not uncommon, and sister-in-law Quan is even more outstanding in all kinds of ways. What women want to control is to be aggressive, which can be said to completely overturn the women's school that Qingluan has learned before.

Although the two of them are now dressed in typical Northwesterner's clothes, their demeanor and temperament still cannot be separated from their childhood upbringing, coupled with their good looks, they are already eye-catching when they walk on this street. It attracts everyone's attention.

Qingluan has never been so embarrassing for her age, so she quickly took two steps away from Shangguan, acting like she didn't know him.

How could Shangguan Jue make her wish come true, followed up, stuck to Qingluan's side, and called out in a drawn out voice: "Lady—"

Qingluan blushed enough to bleed, and he could be even more ashamed.

"Miss, don't you ignore me." Shangguan Jue followed Qingluan step by step with a look on his face that I knew I was wrong.

Seeing this, the peddler who knows how to do business laughed and said: "This little brother has offended the young lady, why don't you buy a gift to please the young lady, maybe the young lady will not be angry."

Shangguanjue was in a good mood, and he responded with a smile. He took Qingluan's hand and said, "You can choose whatever you like, my wife. I just paid my wages today and bought flowers for my wife. Don't be angry, my lady."

Qingluan was helpless by his faceless rascal, and gave him an annoyed look. Although he was terribly embarrassed, this kind of freedom and playfulness never existed in Shangjing.

"Miss, look, what do you like." Shangguan Jue really brought her to the hawker's stall.

The hawker hastened to use his sharp tongue. Looking at the man's behavior, he knew that he loved his wife. As long as he talked to the little lady, he was afraid that the business would fail?

In fact, the things on the stall were very rough, and even the maids in the mansion wore them better than this one, but Qingluan still picked out a wooden hairpin carved with a beauty pattern.Shangguanjue quickly picked it up, pinned it on Qingluan's hair, and said with a smile: "It's pretty, it's really pretty, how much does it cost?"

The peddler was slightly disappointed that Qingluan picked the wooden hairpin, but he still maintained an attitude of not being offended, and said with a smile: "Little lady has good eyesight, this is carved from high-quality red sandalwood, look at how cheap the pattern is carved , I also have fate with the two of you, so I will sell it at a lower price, eighty yuan."

This was probably the cheapest thing Shangguanjue had ever bought. He took out a small piece of silver from his purse and threw it directly to the peddler. He said "don't look for it" and the peddler couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear.Shangguanjue pulled Qingluan forward, with a series of blessings from peddlers behind him.

"Miss, don't be angry, the husband knows it's wrong." Shangguan Jue said in Qingluan's ear with great interest.

Qingluan had nothing to do with his sudden madness, so he had no choice but to follow him.

The streets in Stone City are not long, but it was already evening when they returned to their yard in such a busy way. Shangguanjue carried a lot of things in his hands, which didn't cost much, but they were all the characteristics of the Northwest.

This is the first time Qingluan has had such a good time shopping after arriving in Stone City, bargaining with the hawkers, or buying some food directly, eating while shopping, everyone here is like this, and no one will accuse you of being like this Her behavior was not in line with the virtues of a lady, and she was accompanied by Shangguan Jue. When she got home, Qingluan Baixi's face was flushed and looked very healthy.

He returned home early in the daytime, and waited for the two of them at the door. Seeing that they both had smiles on their faces, they hurriedly took all the big and small bags in their hands.She still held the letter from Shangjing in her hand, but at this moment she was a little unwilling to disturb the pure happiness of the two of them by the disturbances of Shangjing.

After dinner, Bai Tian finally handed over the things to Shangguan Jue.

In the letter, all the battles during the period of going to Beijing are clearly written, even the matter of the emperor's direct dismissal of the report is also mentioned above.Seeing that Shangguan Jue suppressed the expression on his face, Qingluan waved away the serving maid and served the tea himself.

Although she really wanted to stop paying attention to those intrigues in Shangjing from now on, but according to Shangguan Jue's status, it was impossible to stay away from them completely, as their relatives were still there.

"What happened?" Qingluan sat across from Shangguanjue and asked when he saw that his expression was slightly gloomy.

"Shangjing is going to be in chaos." Shangguan Jue subconsciously clenched the letter in his hand, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that man's body to collapse so quickly. Is he really about to die? ?

Regarding Shangguan Rui, Shangguan Jue's mood is very complicated. In his childhood, Shangguan Rui replaced his father's role. When all his relatives ignored him, only he and the Empress Yuan really took care of him.

Even if the two of them sent him back to the mansion later, he never blamed them, because he also knew that for a royal family, life is more involuntary, and many things are not what they want .

Later Shangguan Rui ascended to the throne, and his reputation as a dandy had already spread throughout Shangjing. Although Shangguan Rui often reprimanded him, he was more indulgent. At that time, he knew that when he became a king Afterwards, life was even more uncontrollable by him. He doted on him, but also feared him, so he never showed anything in front of him, and continued to live his absurd life.People in the royal family have never had any real feelings. Father and son, brother, mother and son are all inferior to power.

This was a sentence that Shangguan Rui once sighed when he was young, and later he actually taught him a lesson with his own actions.

But even with such impure feelings, after seeing the news that he was critically ill, he still felt depressed and uncomfortable. At the same time, he felt that he seemed to have been blinded by obsession, and his body had reached this point. At this point, he has to push the baby to the position, which is completely disregarding the safety of the court.

How many young masters in the previous dynasty had good results when they came to power, let alone a child who was still in his infancy, how could he become a monarch if he didn't know his temperament?There is also the ambitious Jiang family. Once the baby is in power, whether the court is Shangguan or Jiang, the old man actually agreed to his request.

What kind of bullshit regent, the old man has been wise all his life, but he was confused when he was about to grow old. Is it so easy to be a regent? If he is not careful, he will be said to control the government. In the future, even if the child grows up , and will not miss his kindness.

Shangguan Jue gritted his teeth and said: "The plans of the Jiang family are really not small, no wonder they dare to be so arrogant." Qing Tian hit his Aluan day and night, for the Jiang family, he must avenge this revenge.

Qingluan clapped her hands and said, "Don't be angry, what should we do now?"

"First completely take over the military power in the Northwest. This is the headquarters of our Prince Qin's Mansion, so it cannot be handed over so easily." Shangguan Jue said immediately.

Today's Great Xia has constant internal and external troubles, and only with power in his hands can he be invincible.

Qingluan nodded and said: "Sister Xiner was thrown into limbo by the emperor. It has been so long before I received the news. I don't know how Sister Xiner is doing now?" The emperor is almost dead, No matter who will ascend the throne in the future, it will not be a good thing for a concubine like Wei Xiner who has no foundation.

Thinking about how Sister Xin'er had to enter the palace at the beginning, but now wants to ruin her life for such a man, Qingluan feels it is very cruel when she thinks about it.

"Aluan, it may not be a good thing for Xiner to be in the cold palace now, even the empress would not intentionally embarrass a beauty who fell out of favor in the cold palace. Now that the harem is in turmoil due to the emperor's illness, Xiner avoids it, but can save herself " Shangguan Jue said.

"But what if the emperor dies?" It's a good thing to avoid it at this time, but once the emperor dies, a concubine like Qingluan will either be buried or sent to the temple to become a monk. be treated like this.

Qingluan's words chilled the atmosphere in the room a bit.

After a moment of silence, Qingluan took Shangguanjue's hand and said: "Shangguanjue, is there any way you can bring sister Xin'er out? I really don't want to see her life ruined like this. She can hide her name as long as she leaves After getting out of that cage, she can still have her own happiness."

Shangguan Jue thought for a while before saying: "Don't worry, I will send a message back, if it doesn't work, I'll ask Senior Brother to go."

Qingluan nodded, with Murong Yurou's superb kung fu, it is not difficult to rescue a person from the palace, as long as she can rescue sister Xin'er.

"By the way, Shangguanjing has already made a marriage arrangement with Jiang San. Since the emperor made his grandfather the regent and Lu Guogong as the auxiliary minister, it is just to make the two sides restrain each other. Together." When Qingluan left Shangjing, the second room made a marriage arrangement with the Jiang family without telling the old prince. Although the emperor's current health is not good, it is still very easy to mess up a marriage.

Shangguanjue sneered and said, "Erfang's heart is too big, he just wants to get on the boat of Jiang's family, and he doesn't even think that they are all surnamed Shangguan, they are already the most honorable people in the Great Xia Dynasty, why bother to pursue other people?" , the emperor has ordered the princess to marry Jiang San, and it is useless for Shangguanjing to marry into the Jiang family."

As Qingluan said, it is impossible for the emperor to do nothing, because he still has two sickly daughters, which will come in handy, and Shangguanjing will not be able to compete with the princess for husband-in-law no matter what.

The Jiang family desperately wanted to establish a relationship with Prince Qin's Mansion. First, they wanted to be an official, and then they turned their attention to the second room. Do they really think that their Prince Qin's mansion is a piece of dough, and let them frustrate and flatten it?
