The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 14

After Xiao Qingyan's two side concubines left, Xu Changan called his two guards to go out to practice horseback riding, but Xiao Qingyan in the palace was called to the Palace of Longevity by the emperor for no reason.

The Hall of Eternal Life is a palace dedicated to the spiritual throne of the former empress. The emperor called here, but the emperor himself never showed up. Xiao Qingyan really couldn't figure out what his father wanted to do.

The emperor never showed up, and Xiao Qingyan couldn't leave without authorization, so she could only go to her mother's coffin and knelt there all the time, whispering to her mother all the things she remembered when she was a child.

On the other side, in the emperor's Tai Chi hall, the emperor in a bright yellow robe was worrying about the pile of memorials in front of him.This year can be said to be a year full of disasters and disasters for his Xiao family dynasty. Since the beginning of the war in the north at the beginning of the year, the treasury has been strained. However, due to the severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain production has been reduced by about [-]%. If the war continues next year, the lives of ordinary people... …

"Report to the Emperor, His Royal Highness Xian Wang is still in the Hall of Eternal Life, and is now kneeling in front of the spirit of Empress Huiren."

"The virtuous king accepted his concubine yesterday, and this is only the second day. As soon as Maoshi arrives, go to the Hall of Longevity and let the virtuous king return to his mansion." The virtuous king did indeed order him to stay in the palace, and the emperor did not forget about it. Son, he just... It's just that this son has let him down a little bit now.

"By the way, the fathers of the concubines on both sides of King Xian are important officials of the court. You will go to Prince Xian's mansion in person later. I have a reward for the two concubines. You send King Xian back to the mansion together to announce the decree."

"The slave obeys the order."

The fact that Xiao Qingyan was left behind by the emperor but left in the Hall of Eternal Life for no reason soon spread to the successor, and now the successor is worrying about other things, so he has no time to worry about this trivial matter.

"Father, what do you mean by your Majesty? You gave the virtuous king a man and wife, but gave the minister's servant's daughter to that kid as a side concubine. Although the two adults have long surrendered to their father, but now their daughter has become a concubine." After becoming the side concubine of the Xian Wang, you said... will they still be devoted to the second prince?" Afterwards, he was worried about far more than that, although his second prince had not yet reached the crown, but Xiao Qingyan had already entered the court at sixteen, Now the second prince is nineteen years old, but he was dismissed by the emperor to an inconspicuous corner on the grounds that he had not reached the crown yet, and he didn't even need to go to court.

"Your Majesty, why should you be worried? The right and left virtuous kings are no longer qualified to succeed to the throne, so there is nothing to be afraid of now. What you should be worried about now is not the virtuous king, but the Concubine Zhou who is opposing you in this harem, and Prince Jing who has continuously made military exploits." That's right." Ever since the emperor gave Xiao Qingyan a man and wife, Lin Guogong has long put Xiao Qingyan in his heart, and now he is most worried about King Jing, and now the court has already been divided into two factions, and the family of generals who support Prince Jing , and the honorable family headed by himself to support the second prince.As for the Chaozhong Qingliu faction... Humph!The virtuous king they supported has been rejected by the emperor, and now they are all vacillating, like a piece of grass on the wall!snort!

"But I always feel that His Majesty's decision is a bit strange. There is no trace of it." The emperor's cultivation of the eldest prince is completely the model of the royal family's cultivation of future emperors. This is also the reason why most people thought Xiao Qingyan was the candidate for the prince. But the emperor's sudden decision made not only the people in the court, but also the queen herself completely unable to find the reason. She was naturally happy in her heart, but she was still a little worried.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to think so much? You just need to know that the virtuous king is nothing to be afraid of now. As for the concubine bestowed by His Majesty... the virtuous king is His Majesty's beloved eldest son after all. Perhaps it is... to make up for the virtuous king. "Including the title of the virtuous king, if you can't give him the world, you can give him wealth and glory. Your majesty is also benevolent to the virtuous king.

The worry in the queen's heart was persuaded by her father, so she felt at ease, and now the only thing to worry about was Prince Jing.

Xu Changan took his guards directly to the open space on the outskirts of Beijing, which was the Zhuangzi where he lived before.There is a large woodland behind that Zhuangzi, and the terrain in front is relatively flat. It is the best place to learn how to ride a horse.

The two guards following Xu Chang'an happened to be two brothers, one named Wu Ren and the other named Wu Yi, their father was a seventh-rank official, although they were serving as guards in the palace now, their rank was higher than his father's.

"I haven't touched horses since I was a child, so I may be a little slow to learn, so please bother me." Knowing that he didn't have the ability to achieve it overnight, Xu Changan specifically asked him to find a gentler and shorter horse, so that he could learn it easily. Simpler.

Although Xu Chang'an has become a princess, he doesn't have any femininity in him, and he is easy-going. In addition to what happened on that day in Buzhuang, the two brothers of the Wu family actually sympathize with Xu Chang'an, so they really want to help him .As Xu Changan is the princess, they are still the guards assigned to him by the prince. Xu Changan just needs to give orders to him. Now that Xu Changan is so polite, the two brothers feel embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This subordinate is the guard of the princess. The matter is the matter of the two brothers under my command, the wangfei just orders, the last general will not dare to disobey." The two of them took the position of military generals, but they were also inferior to generals, but they are already Xu Chang'an's people now , so he naturally called himself a subordinate to Xu Changan.

"The two of you will teach me more in the future." The reason why Xu Changan chose this place was not only because of the flat terrain here, but also because he wanted to visit his mother, and he also had a thought in his heart, that is, he had bullied her before going to scare her. his servant.Ordinarily, those people should be mother's people, but in order to please Liu Shi, they all followed suit and made things difficult for themselves for no reason. No matter what I do, let them taste the fruits I planted.

For those who don't know how to ride horses, in the beginning, besides a gentle horse, the comfort of the saddle is also very important. Xu Changan had explained to them before, and the two prepared enough things.Helping Xu Changan to sit on the horse, Wu Ren led the horse for a walk in front, and Wu Yi talked to Xu Changan about some precautions in detail.For example, how to hold the reins tightly, what posture should the body maintain when the horse is fast and slow, and in case the horse cannot be controlled, what posture should be used to vault the horse so as to cause the least damage to oneself, etc.

It is late autumn now, and there is autumn everywhere. The grain in the farmland not far away has been harvested, and the leaves of the mountains and forests in sight have also been dyed with color. It is no longer just a glance of green, but there are yellowish and reddish ones. .

Xu Changan looked in the direction of the farm where he had lived for three years, sighed in his heart, and said to Wu Ren in front, "I want to try riding by myself. If we can, let's go here first, and continue tomorrow. Today I want to visit my mother."

"Yes, princess."

The title of princess is really jarring, but Xu Changan knows that this title has brought him the life he has today. If it wasn't for this title, he would still be in that Zhuangzi now, and he doesn't know when Xiao Ming will die. Back to the west.

He didn't know whether it was because he was too talented, or the horse the Wu family brothers found was too docile. After Xu Changan asked Wu Ren to let go of the rope leading the horse, he rode it for a long time without incident.Moreover, according to the instructions of the two brothers, he was able to manipulate the reins, making Mar under him obediently follow the direction he wanted to go.

"Have I learned something?" Xu Changan was afraid before, the autumn hunting is approaching, what if he can't learn it, he didn't expect that riding a horse is much easier than he imagined, it only took an afternoon, he Almost all learned.

Xu Changan was happy, and the corners of his mouth curled up unnaturally, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.The two brothers of the Wu family have been with the princess for some time, and they always knew that the princess is good-looking, but now seeing the smile on the princess's face, they realized that the princess's smile is really good-looking.The slightly upturned corners of the mouth make people want to get close. The princess is too rigid in front of the prince. She always keeps a face and refuses to show any expression. It would be great if the princess could smile in front of the prince. Grandpa Wang will definitely Would love the princess more.

"The concubine is extremely intelligent, and she can learn everything quickly." Xu Chang'an understood everything the two brothers said just now, and he was quite courageous, so he naturally learned it quickly.

Although Xu Changan has never touched horses, he is not a young lady raised in a boudoir after all. As a man, he naturally yearns for horses and swords.Thinking of learning to ride a horse is not only a little scary, but also more exciting, so naturally he learned it very smoothly.

The three of them headed towards the farm not far away, and at this time there was also a carriage parked outside the farm, and a man and a woman alighted from it, both about fifteen or sixteen years old.When Xu Changan and the Wu family brothers arrived at Zhuangzi, the couple had already entered Zhuangzi, leaving only the carriage parked at the door.

Looking at the carriage at the door, Xu Changan had an intuition that the Xu family had come. Thinking of what happened that day, he was so frightened that he ran towards his mother's cemetery!He only had one thought in his mind, could it be that Mrs. Liu couldn't find a way to vent, and came here to find her mother's bad luck, and now the only one they can bully is her mother who has been buried in the ground and cannot resist.

There were more than a dozen servants in this village, and Xu Changan also met a few people along the way, but he ignored them and ran directly towards his mother's grave.

Xu Changan was very sad when he thought of his mother lying alone in this dilapidated farm.His mother was Xu Yongnian's wife, but after being murdered, Xu Yongnian not only condoned the murderer, but also buried his mother in this dilapidated farm on the outskirts of Beijing!He neither sent his mother's coffin back to his hometown for burial, nor did he find a Fengshui place for his mother to build a Lingshan, but he just hastily buried his mother in a dilapidated village.

Cover yourself with a handful of loess, leave your name on a stone tablet, and the surrounding land becomes the resting place of your mother!

"Xu Yongnian!" One day, I will make you pay back a hundred times the pain you inflicted on your mother!Xu Changan felt resentful in his heart, thinking of his poor mother, his eyes turned red, and he walked fast again, accidentally almost fell, but fortunately he was quickly protected by Wu Ren who was right behind him.

"Princess be careful!"

"I'm fine, but suddenly I miss my mother a little bit, and want to visit her grave." Knowing that someone from the Xu family must have come today, Xu Changan was only worried about his mother's tomb, and he didn't care about anything else.He rushed to his mother's grave in a hurry, but there was no one there. After letting go of his worries, Xu Chang'an asked the Wu family brothers to wait a little further away, while he himself knelt down in front of his mother's grave.

"Mother, I taught Liu Shi a good lesson for you a few days ago, and I won't let her be arrogant again in the future. Don't worry, the child will no longer be bullied by her father and Liu Shi."

Knowing what his mother had always expected of him, Xu Changan had no regrets.My mother wants to have a good future for herself, and hopes that she will marry a wife and have children for a stable life.But what if she did what she wanted?My child is also a descendant of the Xu family, and I hate Xu Yongnian so much, why would I still think about carrying on the Xu family's lineage?
