296 Banquet
Manager Bai's words made Prince Qin's face freeze, and then he smiled miserably: "We are all descendants of the Shangguan family after all. I don't want to speculate about him like that, but the emperor's family has been the most ruthless since ancient times, and I have to work for the Prince of Qin's family."
Thinking about this, Lao Bai, if the emperor really goes that far, you should rush to the northwest and give this letter and things like this to Jue'er."
Manager Bai's face turned pale. What the old prince was holding was a unicorn pattern made of fine copper. It was only the size of a palm and its tentacles were cold. Manager Bai's heart also felt slightly cold. He knew that this was a piece of unicorn that the old prince had left for the Prince Qin's Mansion.
The last talisman for survival.
"Father, I'm coming in." Shangguan Yu's voice came from the door.
Manager Bai put the things away and then turned to open the door.
After the old prince's accident, Shangguan Yu directly asked for leave and came to the study every day. Shangguan Yu was also in his forties, so it was not easy to do this.
When Shangguan Yu came in, he was holding a bowl of steaming medicine, which he had brewed himself.
"Father, drink the medicine." Shangguan Yu brought the medicine to the old prince's bedside.
The old prince glanced at Shangguan Yu, drank the medicine in one gulp, and then said, "Actually, we can just let the kitchen do these things."
Shangguan Yu put the empty bowl aside and then said with a smile: "Father, you have been in the northwest all the time. Even if your son wants to serve you and be filial, there is nothing he can do. Now that you are back, these are what a son should do.
"
A gratified smile appeared on the old prince's face.
"It's just father, is there something strange about the horse startling thing? You have been on the battlefield for so many years, and riding a horse has become as instinctive as eating and drinking. What's more, that's Mo Yun. How can a horse startle a horse on a good road?
What?" Shangguan Yu glanced at the splinted leg and looked like he wished he could bear this pain for the old prince.
The old prince shook his head and said: "I am already old, and my legs are no longer very flexible when I was in the northwest, so I fell off the horse. The horse has been checked, and since Lao Bai said it is okay
It’s strange, it’s just an accident.”
Shangguan Yu glanced at Mr. Bai who was standing by and felt a little chilled in his heart. They were father and son. They were supposed to be the most trusting people in the world, but his father clearly believed in Mr. Bai more than his son, Prince Qin.
There are many things in the government that he, the master, is not as clear about as Mr. Bai, a slave.
"Uncle Bai has been with you for so many years, and he has lived with confidence." Shangguan Yu said with a gentle face, then changed the subject and mentioned the situation in the northwest, "Father, now Beirong is busy with civil war. In the short term,
There shouldn’t be that many troops to attack Daxia, shouldn’t Ah Jue and Li’er be back?”
"How could Jue'er, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, leave the Northwest so easily? If you want Li'er, just let him come back." When the old prince heard this, he became a little unhappy. It was not easy for the military power of the Northwest Army to be restored.
After being handed over to Shangguan Jue, it will not be so easy to get them out this time. What's more, the emperor has made it clear that he doesn't trust him very much. The northwest is the headquarters of the Qin Prince's Palace. If something happens in the future, he can
Let Shangguan Jue do well.
When Shangguan Yu saw that the old prince was angry, he showed a look of panic on his face: "Father, please calm down. Of course my son understands that a man has ambitions in all directions. Li'er likes to wield swords and guns when he is urinating, and he wants to be like his grandfather.
I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to let him come back now."
"Then just stay in the northwest with peace of mind. That place can train people." After the old prince said this, he closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to say more.
Shangguan Yu then stood up and said, "Father, have a good rest. Come back when my son has dinner."
The old prince nodded, and Shangguan Yu turned around. The gentle and gentle look on his face was instantly replaced by a ferocious look. Sure enough, in his mind, he only had direct descendants. Shangguan Jue became the commander-in-chief of the northwest. His son
His son was just a general in Stone City, and the difference was huge. He considered everything for Shangguan Jue. Did he ever think about them? They were also his descendants. If he didn't like them so much, why did he give birth to him in the first place?

*********************************
On March 15th, the weather turned warm, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the Marshal's Mansion. Everyone in Yuancheng's house had received invitations.
Mrs. Wu and Wu Ruoshui went out together, but they did not bring their two concubines with them this time.
On the carriage, Wu Ruoshui looked at Mrs. Wu who didn't look very good, and knew that Mrs. Wu still had a grudge about Yao Wenjun being beaten by the people from the Marshal's Mansion. She thought about it and said: "Mother, my cousin's injury is not...
Isn't it a big deal? If he hadn't been unruly to the girl in the marshal's house, he wouldn't have suffered this crime. Now that you are here, why should you look unhappy? This will make people think that father is against you.
Prince Qin, what do you think?"
When Mrs. Wu heard this, a trace of annoyance flashed across her face. The injuries were not serious. Before, she really thought that Yao Wenjun just suffered some flesh injuries, but two days ago, the people around Yao Wenjun came to report hesitantly, saying that it was
Yao Wenjun turned out to be inhumane, which for Mrs. Wu
It is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Yao Wenjun is the only child of their Yao family. Although there are many women on weekdays, because they have not yet been married, there are naturally no children left. Once they are inhumane, it means that their Yao family will have no descendants.
Okay, how can she explain this to her parents?
"You don't understand!" Mrs. Wu's tone was a little bit angry. She knew that her daughter had a crush on Prince Qin, so she wanted to please him blindly. She turned her elbows outward, which made Mrs. Wu feel more and more dissatisfied.
Wu Ruoshui frowned slightly. Ever since she became sensible, Mrs. Wu had never spoken to her in this tone. After all, Mrs. Wu was her biological mother in name, and she did not want to offend her.
After thinking for a while, Wu Ruoshui said aggrievedly: "Mother, are you angry with Ruoshui?"
Wu Ruohui seldom acted coquettishly in daily life. She was proud, independent and independent. Even Mrs. Wu often regarded her as an adult unconsciously. At this time, when she saw her daughter's eyes red with grievance, Mrs. Wu suddenly
When she came back to her senses, she realized that her daughter was always hers, so could she really give up her mother for a man?
"Ruoshui, mother is not angry with you, it's just that you don't know that your cousin's body not only has those external injuries, but also..." Mrs. Wu couldn't say the next words at once, and she couldn't say it to someone who was not yet married.
My daughter said those inhumane words.
A trace of surprise flashed across Wu Ruoshui's eyes, so what must have happened to Yao Wenjun's body to make her mother so angry?
"But mother, you should know that your father wants to have a good relationship with the Crown Prince of Qin now. If you show anything now, it will inevitably make your father angry." Wu Ruoshui said softly, she knew that for Mrs. Wu,
, Wu Xiao’s opinion is still very important, so she pulled Wu Xiao out to suppress Mrs. Wu.
"Okay, mother is not the kind of person who doesn't care about importance. She will not be rude when she arrives at the Marshal's Mansion." Mrs. Wu waved her hand. The most important thing is that the best doctor in Yuancheng cannot find out the reason why Yao Wenjun is inhumane.
, it seemed that she couldn't do anything anymore after being beaten that time. This kind of problem was something she couldn't talk about, and she couldn't even ask him about the crime.
The carriage drove into the Marshal's Mansion in silence.
At the second gate, there are maids leading the way.
This is the first time that the Marshal's Mansion has opened its doors for a banquet. The previous owner of the Marshal's Mansion was Prince Qin. Since there was no hostess in the mansion, such banquets were rarely held, and even if they were held, female guests would not be entertained.
However, Chen Shu's stay in the northwest was only half a year, and he returned to Beijing dejectedly before even the beds in the mansion were warm.
Although Qingluan didn't go out in the winter, it didn't hinder her planning for the entire mansion. She added people when they needed to be added, and trained them when they needed to be trained. Although these newly bought maids and wives were not like those in Prince Qin's Palace in Beijing.
They are suitable, but these ones from Yuancheng are not bad.
When Wu Ruoshui helped Mrs. Wu get out of the car, several families happened to arrive on the other side.
As the most talented and beautiful woman in Yuancheng, Wu Ruoshui naturally has many fans around her. At this time, the two girls following her were one named Su and the other named Wan'er. Their father was a subordinate of Governor Wu.
On weekdays, Wu Ruoshui is almost worshiped as an idol. The other person's surname is Fang, whose name is Siyu. His father has the same official position as Su Wan'er's father. Following Wu Ruoshui, he is somewhat different from Su Wan'er.
Feel.
Although Wu Ruoshui may not look down on these girls in her heart, she enjoys the feeling of being looked up to, not to mention that today she needs to find out about Wei Qingluan through these people.
Wu Ruoshui's eyes narrowed when he thought of the news he had learned from going to Beijing. Wei Qingluan, the legitimate daughter of Weiyuan Hou Mansion, when she first married Shangguan Jue, Shangguan Jue's life and death were unknown, so there was nothing like that between them.
This kind of blind marriage involves a certain amount of emotion.
However, in Shangjing Wei Qingluan was really dead, and even had a tomb. She really didn't believe that the Prince of Qin didn't mind the ruined reputation. Maybe the Prince of Qin didn't even know what was going on in Shangjing, so he did it.
Accepted Wei Qingluan.
No matter what, Wei Qingluan still has some abilities. Otherwise, how could she, a woman who has accepted the three obediences and four virtues since she was a child, dare to make dangerous moves, escape to death, and follow the prince of Qin after coming to the northwest.
