frivolous princess

Chapter 96

For several days, Shangguan Jie never set foot in Xueyuan, and he no longer cared about Shangguan Fuxue's body.It made Xueyuan deserted.

"Master asked someone to tell me that this year's May Festival will not be together. In each courtyard, you can do it yourself." Meng Shi just came back from the front courtyard, stepped into the courtyard gate, saw Shangguan Fuxue's gloomy look, Then he couldn't help sighing, "It is said that people who have killed people can easily calm down as long as they are a little bit unhappy. There has been a lot of trouble in these two courtyards recently, and the general is also cold-hearted. To whom? There's no hope."

"Third aunt, do you think it's right to 'swallow your breath'?" Shangguan Fuxue said absent-mindedly, picking up vegetables one after another.

Mrs. Meng shook her head, and stretched out her hand to help her choose vegetables, "It is said that women are born to accept their fate, follow their father before they get married, and follow their husband when they get married. But I have stayed in this house for a long time, and it's okay to be cold-eyed. Can you step on your own head casually? Even if you are a woman, even a woman with no power or power, you still have self-esteem in your heart. Of course you have to resist when you suffer, otherwise they will treat you as a "soft persimmon" and think you are easy to pinch. Very bullying!"

Seeing that she had the same opinion as her own, Shangguan Fuxue was also not much excited, she curled her lips and said, "But in my opinion, Daddy is also a woman who likes to 'submit'."

"The master is tired of the jealousy among women, so he doesn't want to worry about it. He also has to look at the faces of others when he is in court, and he has his own cares about things. Besides, he has to be busy with military affairs when he is in court. He is already worried about it." Quite a lot. He was already troubled, but if the wives and ladies make such a fuss, he will naturally be annoyed!"

Shangguan Fuxue nodded, "Tell me, is there any way...to make him stop being angry?"

The Meng family thought: "The servants can't guarantee that there will be a way to calm the general down. However, it's May Festival now. I remember the zongzi your mother made before she was alive. The general always likes to eat them. Miss, you might as well learn how to make them." A few, not to mention calming down the general, but to show filial piety."

Shangguan Fuxue's eyes lit up, she felt that this method was good, and immediately cheered up, "Then Third Aunt, hurry up and teach me!"

Mrs. Meng smiled, "I'll go get ready right now, while Miss is getting more energetic!"

At noon, Shangguan Jie had dinner with Mrs. Shangguan.

"Today is the May Festival. Although the whole family can't celebrate it together, there are still things to celebrate this festival." The old lady smiled softly, and raised her hand to signal the servant girl to bring a plate of rice dumplings.

Shangguan Jie glanced at it, without the slightest interest, raised his hand to let the servant girl take the things back, "I eat these things every year, and the taste is the same every year, it doesn't matter if I eat them or not."

The old lady said: "Xue'er learned this after studying with Qing Wan for a long time. Although this look is unattractive, it is a rare gift for children."

Shangguan Jie hung his eyelashes in silence for a long while, and he didn't know what he thought of, "Yun'er was very stupid when she learned to make this thing, and she threw it away several times. Later, I really couldn't see it, so I grabbed one. Eat it, although the taste is not as good as that of Ruixianglou, but it tastes delicious no matter how you eat it.”

As he spoke, he beckoned the maid to bring back the zongzi, picked one up and peeled it, his eyes gradually became wet, "It's been 17 years." As soon as he finished speaking, his throat was choked up badly, and he took a bite. Zongzi, but I couldn't swallow it anyway.

"Since it's been 17 years, let it go."

Shangguan Jie gulped down the zongzi, his heart felt so stuffy, he beat it impatiently, but he didn't intend to let go of the zongzi in his hand.With tears streaming down his face, he just stared at a certain place absent-mindedly, and said in a low voice, "If it were Yun'er, these things wouldn't happen in the mansion."

"Yun'er was shrewd in dealing with things back then, she had both sense and reason, and she cared very much for her mother." The old lady changed her mind and said, "In the past few days, the outside world has said that you are unfair and too partial. As a mother, you understand very well. You will stay in office this time. In Kyoto, Prime Minister Liang must have said something in court. The reason why the emperor has not moved you is because he wants to use you as a handicap. If you touch Liang Muhua, something will happen to Prime Minister Liang, and he will take the opportunity to make trouble .”

"But," the old lady paused, "If the emperor touches you, the Liang family will not be able to last long. If the two wings are cut off suddenly, the government and the people will be in turmoil. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it."

"Your Majesty doesn't keep me open. In fact, he has already cultivated the wings in secret. When the time is right, he will cut them off together with the cold phase." Shangguan Jie's face sank like water, and he took another bite of the rice dumpling, not paying attention to the taste for a while. .

"I don't care how turbulent the government is. My mother only knows that she can mobilize her whole body. If the general's mansion is defeated, we old and weak women and children will be stared at by others. I'm afraid we won't be able to endure the hard life." The old lady said At this point, I was also a little worried, "I think, the reason why you didn't move Liang Muhua that day was because you were worried that your whole family would be affected by a careless move."

"Unfortunately, Xue'er was wronged." The old lady rubbed her eyes distressedly.

Shangguan Jie put the unfinished zongzi aside and wiped his hands, "This child, just like her mother, has a strong temper. I'm afraid this grievance will pass away after a while. Right now, the overall situation is the most important thing. "

"Since you have this consideration, why haven't you seen you doting on Xue'er before?"

When Shangguan Jie thought of this, he showed a bit of shame, "When I saw her before, I would think of Yun'er's death. There was only hatred in my heart, wishing that she would disappear from my eyes. But these days, my thoughts are different, and the more The more I get close to her, the more secure I feel, just like seeing Yun'er. Thinking about it, I did treat her badly before. I don't know if there will be a chance to make up for it after this?"

The old lady stomped the crutch in her hand, "Don't say such depressing words! Since the emperor doesn't move you right now, every day is a day. Why don't you have a chance?!"

"This Mrs. Liang is getting more and more arrogant. In front of so many people, she dares to have such vicious thoughts. My son is afraid that after this, she will be more impatient and do even more rampant things!"

"This Xue'er is getting more and more shrewd. She was scolded by you that day, and she will fight Liang Muhua in the future, so she must not dare to put it on the table again. Looking at the situation for my mother, Liang Muhua might not be Xue'er's opponent. You and I should just turn a blind eye and close one eye, so as to dispel her arrogance."

Shangguan Jie was silent for a while, "Mother, what do you think of Nangong Lieyan?"

The old lady wondered, "Why are you talking about him all of a sudden?"

"My son saw that his feelings for Xue'er are extraordinary. If he can trust someone, he can do everything for Xue'er."

The old lady smiled, "That's not bad. Something just happened right now, so let's wait for the Liang family to calm down."

Shangguan Jie nodded, "When the time comes, I will trouble my mother."

The old lady gave him a smirk, "This Xue'er is getting more and more promising, and I like it more and more in my heart. Although the son of King Chu has only a false title, his family is well-off. Xue'er will definitely not marry her if she marries her." It's a little bit of a loss. This is a great happy event!"

The old lady was overjoyed for a moment, and she couldn't help saying: "If you don't care about the Liang family, I will be the only one who cares about my granddaughter from now on."

Shangguan Fuxue, who was in Xueyuan, didn't know the plan of the two old people at all, and was still unhappy about Shangguan Jie's scolding that day.

Originally, at this time, Shangguan Fuxue was supposed to be in her "beauty sleep", but she was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.Simply turn over and get out of bed, go out to relax.

When she opened the door, she saw Luyi and Meng Shi guarding the door.

"What are you doing at the door?" Shangguan Fuxue asked.

Meng Shi said: "Miss has been tossing and turning, unable to sleep for the past two days, and must get up and walk around at night. Let's keep Miss company and make this long night easier."

"No need." Shangguan Fuxue glanced at them, and went to the courtyard gate alone.

Meng followed up: "Miss, it's late at night, where are you going?"

"The General's Mansion is really boring, I want to go out for a walk." Shangguan Fuxue took two steps, heard the footsteps of the two behind, and turned her head unhappily, "Don't follow! Miss Ben wants to be alone. Quiet!"

Lu Yi was really worried, but Mrs. Meng held her back and said, "Forget it, our young lady is extraordinary, and not just anyone can hurt her. Let her do it. She has also been very bored these two days."

Only then did Lu Yi nod her head, and retreated with Meng Shi.

Shangguan Fuxue climbed over the wall and went to a secluded place.Walking and walking, they arrived at the lakeside of Yangliu Yiyi.

There are fields of lotus leaves on the lake, but it is not yet the season of flowering, and it is dark green at night, which is also dull.

But Shangguan Fuxue likes the mysterious feeling between overlapping layers, which is fresh and indifferent, and also has the serenity of a quiet night.

A black-covered boat was moored by the lake, and Shangguan Fuxue approached it carefully, without hearing the slightest human voice, and quickly asked loudly, "Is there anyone in the boat?"

No one answered.

Shangguan Fuxue was relieved, and she committed herself to get in, and was about to row the boat out with the oars.

But the boat suddenly swayed, and she was stunned when she saw a burly man board the boat.She was against the light and couldn't see clearly, "Who is it?"

The person who came here generously took the paddle in her hand, and took her into his arms, "Leave this rough work to me. It won't make Xiao Xue'er get rough and annoy me in the future."

Although Shangguan Fuxue couldn't see people clearly, she was no stranger to this voice, this tone, and the aura around her.At that moment, he was so annoyed that he broke away his hand and sat down in the canopy in a hurry.

Nangong Lieyan smiled lightly and rowed the boat out, "I heard that Xiao Xue'er got angry that day, and she has been unhappy for several days."

"It doesn't seem to be related to His Royal Highness Prince Chu's business?!" Shangguan Fuxue said angrily.

"How can it not be about this son's business?! He clearly told General Shangguan that day that he should not be unfair in dealing with things. He actually reprimanded you in turn, making you wronged in vain! Of course, this son has an obligation to calm Xiaoxue This lost heart."

Shangguan Fuxue was so depressed that she didn't bother to talk to him.

"Today is May Day, why don't you take Xiao Xue'er to see the excitement of the 'Cao'e Temple Fair'!"

"'Cao'e Temple Fair'?" Shangguan Fuxue frowned. What is it?
