Chapter 30 04 First Battle

The wedding of An and Wang was almost unanimous in the court, and they all strongly opposed it.Some people have middle-aged children, looking forward to marrying into the royal family to fly to the top of the branch, some people stick to the ancestors' etiquette, and bluntly say that Xiaofeng is not worthy of the position of princess, and some people follow the trend.In short, after Anhe Wang's marriage was settled, only Anhe Wang's mansion in the capital was full of joy, and the other places were filled with gunpowder.

However, the imperial decree was issued by the emperor. At the beginning when he felt sorry for his son and made the decree, he had already thought of the consequences today. The emperor resisted the pressure and urged the officials to count all the reasons. pressed down.

Shangguan Yuanjing got married happily and got his wish on the night of the wedding.

After getting married, Shangguan Yuanjing really made a lot of progress in his behavior as he said before. He went to court on time every day, served in the official department, and worked diligently. He sometimes went to Dongyu and other places to control floods, and sometimes went to border areas to practice Soldier, he never forgets his responsibility, which comforts the emperor's uncomfortable heart.However, what displeased the empress was that no matter where he went, he had to take Xiaofeng with him.

Five years later, the two went from respecting each other as guests to loving each other. While raising their eyebrows, Shangguan Yuanjing poured his life's love into one person, and Xiaofeng's cold heart gradually warmed up.

After another year of spring breeze, Shangguan Yuanjing rushed into the garden excitedly. After five years of marriage, he became more and more like a child.Xiaofeng was taking a nap on the couch, and the peach blossoms he had just finished painting were placed on the low table beside him. The moment Shangguan Yuanjing saw him, he stepped lightly and tiptoed into the gazebo.

The weather was still a bit chilly, Shangguan Yuanjing pulled up the thin blanket and covered Xiaofeng's body, Xiaofeng frowned and woke up leisurely.

"Did it bother you?" Shangguan Yuanjing lowered his head and kissed the corner of his lips, and asked.

Xiaofeng shook her head, stretched out her hand to hold Shangguan Yuanjing, "What did the emperor say?"

Shangguan Yuanjing rolled his eyes, and said with a sad face: "Father, don't allow..." Xiaofeng's face flashed with disappointment, Shangguan Yuanjing felt a pain in his heart, and quickly laughed, "I'm lying to you!" I lied to you! I asked for my life so many times, how could I still not agree, my father has already agreed!"

"Really?" Xiaofeng was pleasantly surprised, but she was still a little uncertain.

"Of course." Shangguan Yuanjing touched his forehead. After all these years, he still couldn't bear to see him feel a little lost, even if he teased him, "I will be given a one-month leave after my mother's birthday is over. We can go wherever we want where."

Xiaofeng smiled slightly, "I haven't seen Qingyan for a long time." Qingyan knew that Shangguan Yuanjing was really interested in him for kidnapping Xiaofeng, but she didn't expect that he would marry him. Qingyan has also been here in the past few years Twice in the capital, planning his dream of opening a green and red building in the capital, but he just thought about it, he made Jiangnan his home, and he couldn't do without it.Since Xiaofeng went to Beijing with Shangguan Yuanjing, he has never been back to Jiangnan. He has always hoped to go back and have a look. Shangguan Yuanjing knew what he was thinking and tried hard to find a vacation.

But Shangguan Yuanjing didn't think much about Xiaofeng and Qingyan being too close, as soon as the two met, they were like old lovers, which made Shangguan Yuanjing very angry, but even if he didn't want to, the daughter-in-law of the palace is the biggest, Shangguan Yuanjing still came over and said: "We can go to more places this month, and plan where else you want to go. It doesn't matter if you come back later." Thinking that he could stay in Jiangnan for more than half a year at the beginning, but now You have to report when you go to the door, it's really not what it used to be.

Xiaofeng shook her head, "Just go and meet Qingyan."

Shangguan Yuanjing hugged Xiaofeng into his arms, "My concubine, I have something to say... I don't seem to have heard you say it yet."

"What?" Xiaofeng looked at him suspiciously.

"I like you, I love you... What about you?" Shangguan Yuanjing was beating his heart. He wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but Xiaofeng's temper has always been tepid, and he was afraid that he would not get it. the result you want.Xiaofeng's smile unfolded little by little, he snuggled into Shangguan Yuanjing's neck, and said softly: "Need to say? Me too."

Shangguan Yuanjing's mood suddenly soared to the sky. He copied Xiaofeng's painting on the short table with his big hand, and praised loudly: "Aifei's painting is really getting better and better, and I am quite everyone's spirit, hahaha!" Shangguan Yuan Jing couldn't help laughing as he said that.

The queen's birthday is coming soon, and although Xiaofeng doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, she still wants to attend.Although he is married to King Anhe, he has no mother's protection and a bad background. Xiaofeng has no sincere supporters in the palace or court. Of course, he doesn't need it either. With Shangguan Yuanjing's love, no one dares He didn't respect him, but Shangguan Yuanjing still had a grudge about it.

On the day of the birthday, there was a lot of excitement in the palace and court. The prince has never left since he returned to the court five years ago. With the emperor sitting in the court and the prince assisting, it can be said that the world is peaceful and the people are happy.After the birthday passed, Shangguan Yuanjing was happily preparing for the long trip with Xiaofeng. The two of them didn't need to bring many things and manpower, so they wanted to stop and see more. However, the day before the two were ready to go out One day, Shangguan Yuanjing was announced into the palace by a decree.

In the main hall, the emperor and the crown prince had serious faces. Shangguan Yuanjing was worried. After paying his respects, he asked, "Father, why is Xuan Erchen here?" , Why recruiting him into the palace at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of time.

The emperor glanced at him, pushed the map in front of him forward, and said, "The Southern Qi is invading."

"What?!" Shangguan Yuanjing was taken aback, he grabbed the map, "Where?"

"Pingcheng, just came to report that Nanqi has already left Pingcheng and is going inside to commit crimes." The emperor said.

Northern Qi and Southern Qi belonged to the same family, but a hundred years ago, one of the feudal lords was dominant and seemed to be self-reliant. The emperor at that time did not have much military power, so he could only promise a lot of preferential treatment and married the princess to the Yun family. The family has long been uneasy about being a vassal, and raised troops to attack the northern capital. However, after a great battle, neither side could find peace. The Yun family established itself in the south and established the Southern Qi to fight against the Northern Qi. .

"Rebellious officials and traitors! How dare you invade my frontier!" Shangguan Yuanjing was furious, wishing he could kill the thief.

"I heard that the people who lead the troops of the Yun family are quite good at fighting and know the art of war very well. This time... I'm afraid they came prepared." The prince said.

"Where is General Zhen Guo? Why didn't the father send someone there?" Shangguan Yuanjing asked urgently.

The emperor sighed, "I invited you here just to discuss this matter behind closed doors, whether we can send General Zhen Guo to fight against the enemy."

"Father Emperor..." Shangguan Yuanjing didn't know why, the general of Zhen Guo was brave and good at fighting, and of course he should be sent in such a critical situation, what are you waiting for.

Shangguan Yuanjing didn't understand, but the crown prince did. He had a sad face and said, "General Zhen Guo has a large army in his hands, and he has become more and more defiant in recent years. If the last 40 troops are handed over to him, I'm afraid he will become the second Yun family. "

Shangguan Yuanjing was stunned, is there no one available?

"Father..."

"Father! I have been at the border for several years, and I know the terrain there is deep and deep. Please let me go and wipe out the rebels!" The prince knelt on one knee and begged for orders.

The emperor's face was dark and bottomless, and after a long time, he said slowly: "You get up first, this matter... I have made a decision." He looked at the superior officer Yuan Jing, and said: "Jinger, I want you to go."

"Me?" Shangguan Yuanjing was taken aback. Although he had been to the border, he had never fought a war. How could he be competent.

The emperor said: "You are brothers. When the crown prince succeeds in the future, you will be his best help. Therefore, instead of losing the military power to others, it is better to hold it in your own hands. If something happens in the future, you two brothers, We must support each other to protect our rivers and mountains!"

"Father!" The crown prince kowtowed, for his father's kindness and painstaking care.

Of course, Shangguan Yuanjing would not shirk such an important matter for his family and country. He knelt beside the prince, clasped his fists and said, "My son...will not disgrace my life!"

The emperor wrote a secret letter to Shangguan Yuanjing, asking him to take it to the southern military camp to hold the tiger talisman. Shangguan Yuanjing carefully put it away, bowed and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, the emperor suddenly stopped him, Said: "The battlefield is in danger, your princess... don't take it with you." He was afraid that Shangguan Yuanjing would be distracted and encounter danger.

Shangguan Yuanjing stopped, but said: "Father, my son promised to be with him no matter where he is."

The emperor opened his mouth and said slowly: "...Go."

The plan fell through, and Shangguan Yuanjing returned to the palace with no hesitation. The military situation did not allow him to distinguish carefully, so he simply talked to Xiaofeng and waited for his answer. Xiaofeng didn't hesitate, ordered someone to pick up the prepared things and planned to set off , the two mounted their horses and ran out of the city with a few people. Shangguan Yuanjing was in a panic, and wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Xiaofeng several times, but Xiaofeng was affectionate and focused, and didn't seem to want to listen to his explanation.

After walking for a long time, the two arrived at a post station. After the repairs were completed, Shangguan Yuanjing turned around, but Xiaofeng was nowhere to be seen. He was flustered and hurried out to look for it. horse.

Shangguan Yuanjing stepped forward hesitantly, and called out, "...Xiaofeng, I..."

"Have you eaten yet? Eat more, we'll be on our way later."

Shangguan Yuanjing's eyes were sour, and he stepped forward to hug Xiaofeng, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I promise you......"

"My lord, the state affairs are big, but the family affairs are small. Since I married you, I should share joys and sorrows with you, weal and woe."

Shangguan Yuanjing leaned against Xiaofeng's cheek, "After this incident, I will no longer ask about court affairs, and will only be with you."

Xiaofeng said lightly: "What you said... don't go back on your word."
