Huan Rong

Chapter 25

Huan Rong's illness lasted until mid-May.

It's not that he doesn't want to recover, but Princess Nankang is suppressing him, not allowing him to recover easily.Ever since, Huan could only listen to his mother's words and continue to lie on the couch to take care of himself.

During her son's recuperation period, Princess Nankang went to Taicheng three times, each time leaving with an empty car and returning with a full load.Until recently, the Empress Dowager Chu trembled when she heard the word "Eldest Princess".All it takes is to hang a sign in front of the gate of Taicheng: Princess Nankang and Huanfu vehicles are not allowed to enter!

Yin Kang hopes to reshape the relationship with the Huan family, even if they can't get married, at least they don't become enemies.It's a pity that Mrs. Yin dragged her sick body to the door several times, but Princess Nankang didn't see her at all, and there was no reply to the letter sent to Gushu.At this point, Yin Kang completely stopped being friends with the Huan family, but he did not get too close to Yin Juan.

Yin Juan and Yu Xi were grasshoppers on the same rope, sooner or later they were crushed to death by Sima Huan.Yin Kang thought he still had eyes, so naturally he would not follow Yin Juan to seek death.

Huan Rong didn't know much about political right and wrong before, and he wasn't very interested, but now he forced himself to understand.

After going through all kinds of things before, he is very clear that if he wants to survive in this era and avoid being crushed to death like an ant, he cannot do everything according to his heart.

By the end of May, Princess Nankang still did not allow Huan Rong to leave the capital.Gushu's Huanda Sima got the news and sent someone to send a letter in his own handwriting.

Princess Nankang swept her eyes, sneered, and threw it aside.

"Who is the messenger?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's Xi Canjun."

"Xi Jingxing?"

Knowing that it was him, Princess Nankang was not polite at all, and ordered to be sent away on the spot, without even seeing him.

"Boom away, he is not allowed to enter the door again!"

"Mother, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." Huan Rong tried to persuade her, but now is not the time to completely tear her face apart.

"It doesn't matter if it's right or not, it's better to be more comfortable." Princess Nankang said, "Xi Jingxing said something in front of the old slave several times, thinking that I really didn't know? Not tying him into the mansion is already giving the old slave face!"

Huan Rong was silent.

"One more thing," Princess Nankang paused, and lowered her voice, "I entered Taicheng a few days ago, and I learned from the Queen Mother that your father will lead the army to the Northern Expedition next year."

"Northern Expedition next year?"

"Yes." Nankang Gonghu said solemnly, "The Di people are fighting with the Xianbei Hu. No matter who wins or loses, the north will be in chaos. It is a rare opportunity for the court. If he can't see this, he is not Huan Yuanzi."

Huan Rong sat up straight, knowing that Princess Nankang hadn't finished speaking.

"If you lose this battle, your father will only lose some reputation and lie dormant for a while, and no one can do anything to him. If you win, even if it is only a small victory, Jiankang City will change."

change of weather?

Huan Rong couldn't help being terrified to speculate on the meaning of Princess Nankang's words.

He knew that Huan Wen's rebellion was unsuccessful, but who can guarantee that history will not turn a corner 100%?In the event of a sudden change and Sima Huan really ascended the throne, even if it was only one day, it would be enough for their mother and son to die several times.

"Huan Yuanzi has no heart."

In the eyes of Sima Huan, everyone in the world can play chess.

Common people, royal princesses, and biological children, in his opinion, there is no difference.

In the early years, when Princess Nankang married into the Huan Mansion, she thought she would be a good husband.

The results of it?

The hypocrisy was uncovered, and the reality only made her feel cold.

"Going to Yandu here may not be a way to escape. Try to make friends with Xi Fang, and guard against Lu Ben who is from the Xifu Army. Don't believe any news from your aunt, especially your father's words!"

"promise!"

"The gold, silver and silk I prepared for you are more than enough to feed an army of a thousand people."

Princess Nankang held Huan Rong's hand and said firmly: "Remember, don't worry about grandma, you must take care of yourself! If Jiankang really changes, immediately unite with the princes and kings of the Overseas Chinese Commanderies, and embrace the city in the name of protecting the Jin Dynasty. Save!"

Huan Rong's surname is not Sima, but his mother is the princess of the Jin family. She is of the same generation as the Queen Mother and has a natural alliance with the Sima family.If you can gain a firm foothold in Qiao County, you can gather a lot of strength, not to mention a hundred responses.

The key is whether Huan Rong can control it.

"Mum..." Is my mother asking him to rebel, or is she coercing the emperor to order the princes?

"This is a last resort." Princess Nankang clenched her fingers and said in a deep voice, "If your father ascends to the throne, he will never let our mother and son go, let alone your concubines."

"Mother, don't worry, son will learn the lesson!"

Things have reached that point, if you don't resist, you will die, and there is still a way to survive.Instead of compromising, it is better to leave a name in history with great vigor.

Huan Rong took half a step back and saluted solemnly.

"Since your father sent Xi Jingxing to deliver the letter, I'm afraid there will be no further delay. Seeing that June is approaching and the rainy season is approaching, leaving a few days earlier will avoid trouble on the road."

"promise."

Huan Rong bowed again and left the inner room.

Princess Nankang sat alone in front of the couch with her back straight, hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, her expression showed a bit of sadness.

The setting sun poured in through the window, reflecting half of the room in a hazy yellow.

After a long time, Princess Nankang finally moved, her long sleeves suddenly swung across the low table, and all the cups and lacquer plates rolled down.The cooled tea splashes on the ground, leaching out a little bit of shadow.

"Huan Yuanzi, one day, one day!"

Mrs. Li stood in front of the door, waved away the servants, and gently opened the door.

The lotus steps move lightly, and the hem of the long skirt flows like colorful clouds.

Walking in front of Princess Nankang, Mrs. Li knelt down slowly, her jade arms relaxed, and she embraced Princess Nankang in her arms.

"Sister, Mr. Lang will be safe and sound."

Princess Nankang closed her eyes tightly and her breathing was slightly stagnant.A moment later, two lines of tears fell from the corners of the eyes, and fell into the clothes room without a trace.

Taihe three years, May Gengzi

The day before Huan Rong's departure, several carriages suddenly stopped in front of Huan's mansion.The health servant came forward to report that the motorcade came from Gushu, and in the carriage was Sima Daofu, Huan Ji's wife and Huan Rong's second sister-in-law.

Sima Daofu is the second daughter of Sima Yu, who was first named the county head.Later, due to the marriage with the Huan family, the Empress Dowager Chu made the rest of the princesses of Yao County.

Huan Ji and Sima Daofu have been married for several years, but they have never had a son or a half daughter.

One is that Huan Ji knew early on that Huan Da Sima was thinking about it, and he had no intention of getting close to his first wife, let alone keeping his children.Secondly, Sima Daofu looked down on Huan Ji, and was always lukewarm towards his husband.The relationship between the two can be described as "respect each other like ice".

Huan Ji was accompanied by Sima Huan's garrison aunt, but Sima Daofu was not willing to accompany him.However, the situation could not be controlled by others, and when I received a letter from my own father, I could only follow obediently.

The concubine who caught Huanji was pregnant, deliberately made a fuss, and hurried back to Jiankang.I made up my mind, finally found an excuse, and never went back to Gushu in the short term.

Princess Nankang frowned immediately when the maidservant reported it.

"Why did she come back?"

Princess Nankang has never liked her daughter-in-law.But the person has already returned, so he can't be blasted out directly.

"Gua'er, you go back first."

Don't like Sima Daofu's character Meng Lang, Princess Nankang doesn't want her son to meet her at all.Unexpectedly, the latter figured out her character, and went straight to the door without waiting for the maidservant to come to invite her, and came in with a smile to salute.

"Auntie."

According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, the mother-in-law is called Agu, and the mother-in-law is called Grandun.

Huan Rong didn't have time to go out, and was blocked indoors by Sima Daofu.She was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the "aunt" she was talking about was Princess Nankang.Fortunately, it is from the husband's family.If counting from her natal family, the daughter-in-law calls her mother-in-law "sister Cong", then the seniority is really messed up.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiao Lang has grown up."

Princess Nankang was unwilling to talk to her, but Sima Daofu didn't care at all.Seeing Huan Rong beside her, her almond eyes shone slightly, and two dimples appeared on her plump cheeks, which was truly glamorous.

"Sister-in-law."

Huan Rong took half a step back, dodging a gust of fragrant wind blowing on his face, and bowed upright.

Strictly speaking, Sima Daofu's facial features are excellent, even if he doesn't meet the current aesthetics, he is still an out-and-out beauty.It's a pity that her temperament is gaudy and her behavior is a little frivolous.It's okay to look at it alone, but it was compared to the mud in front of Princess Nankang.

Huan Rong suddenly understood why her mother didn't like her and didn't even bother to say anything.It's hard not to feel bad about having such a relative.

"I heard that Xiao Lang is sick, and he hasn't recovered in half a month, is he better now?"

"Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, it's okay now."

Sima Daofu's eyes were presumptuous, which made people very uncomfortable.Huan Rong didn't want to say much, and excused that he was leaving tomorrow and had something to deal with, so he saluted and exited the room.

It wasn't until his back disappeared that Sima Daofu looked away, and smiled sweetly at Princess Shangnankang's cold eyes.

"Auntie's beauty is as deep as a fish's eye, and as a bird's sight flying high. Xiao Lang looks like Auntie, and his character is extraordinary, which is really enviable."

Princess Nankang frowned in displeasure, Sima Daofu didn't dare to really offend her, so he quit as soon as he saw it, explaining the reason for his return this time.

"Auntie, Huanji treats me like this, I really can't stay in Gushu!"

While speaking, Sima Daofu took out a towel and pretended to wipe away two tears.

Captured the information in her words, Princess Nankang said solemnly: "What did you just say? That old slave returned to Gushu to dispatch troops, and sent people out several times to deliver letters?"

"Yes."

Sima Daofu twisted his body, seeing that Princess Nankang was not in the mood to listen to her complaints, he couldn't continue crying.

"When you come back, just stay there and live in your original yard. Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Murong are pregnant. The person you bring back is good. Don't go there if you have nothing to do."

"promise!"

Sima Daofu blessed himself and saluted, his heart blossomed with joy.

She wasn't Huan Ji, so she didn't want to trouble those two.Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, she will not continue to bother Princess Nankang any longer, so she gets up and leaves, and orders the servants to tidy up the living room.

Thinking about Sima Daofu's words, Princess Nankang was uneasy.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Unable to grasp Sima Huan's true intentions, he could only prevent in advance, increasing Huan Rong's guards to 50, and ordering his loyal servants who had followed him for many years to protect him when traveling.

"Be sure to protect your husband well!"

"promise!"

"Sister." Mrs. Li happened to come over, and when she heard the arrangement, she suggested, "Why don't you invite Xi Canjun to go with Mr. Lang? My sister wrote a letter and sent it to my aunt, I think the husband will not object."

"Let him go with you?"

Mrs. Li leaned close to Princess Nankang's ear and said in a low voice, "With him accompanying me, it's just a good time to protect the Lord from disaster."

Xi Chao went back to Jiankang to deliver the letter, but he did not leave after that, presumably because of malicious intentions.That being the case, why bother to be polite to him.Forget about Huan Da Sima Ansheng, if you have any bad intentions, the ready-made "human shield" will be delivered to your door, and you don't need to use it in vain.

Hijack court officials?

Who cares?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were eager to see Sima Huan deflated, and Xi Chao's relatives would applaud him.

Princess Nankang understood and made a decision on the spot, and the fate of Xi Canjun was finalized.

unwilling?

Straight into the carriage, if you don't go, you have to go.

If Huan Rong was more ruthless, he would be directly awarded to the official Xi Chao, and he would be detained in Yandu County without paying any price, Da Sima Huan would not want to make money.

The so-called smashing the feet first before the magic skill is accomplished, probably this is the case.

Knowing that the number of entourage has increased, including Xi Chao, Huan Rong rolled his eyes, admiring his mother and Aunt Li.Sending away the little boy, stuffing the jade pillow hidden under the couch into the bookcase, Huan Rong patted his hands on the couch to rest, it was a rare night without dreams.

In the early morning of the next day, the predecessors of the Huan Mansion neighed loudly.

Nearly fifty large carts lined up in a long line, and each cart was equipped with several healthy servants.Fifty guards stood on both sides. Huan Rong was dressed in a deep blue dress and wore a Ge scarf, bidding farewell to Princess Nankang.

"Aunt, take care."

After three bows, Huan Rong straightened up.

The young man is handsome, elegant and personable.When boarding the carriage, the long sleeves fluttered with the wind, and the tail of hair brushed over the shoulders, reflecting the high-hanging sun, like a beautiful scene engraved in time.

The convoy left Huanfu and went along the road to the pier.

The carriage was extremely heavy, and the wheels pressed against the road, leaving ruts half a finger deep.

Halfway through the road, the carriage stopped suddenly.Huan Rong was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard a charming voice from outside the car: "Mr. Huan is very handsome, I admire him very much, I hope I can see him."

The child opened the window curiously, and immediately opened his eyes wide.

Huan Rong leaned over and also froze on the spot.

At some point, the convoy was surrounded by crowds.Especially the carriage he was in had almost three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by little ladies.Visually, there are no less than dozens of people holding silver hairpins and wearing rings, their eyes are bright, and they are ready to fight.

"Lang Jun?" The boy's face turned pale.

"Don't talk, let me think about it." Huan Rong's face turned even paler.

On the Shangsi Festival, Xie Xuan and others are the protagonists, and Huan Yi even disperses the firepower.

Today he was traveling alone, if he didn't show up, he was afraid that he would be stuck here all the time, if he showed up... Thinking of the hairpin rings in the hands of the little ladies, Huan Rong couldn't help shivering.

With so many sharp silverware flying head-on, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no danger to life.
