"Elder-in-law" migraine

When the banquet was over, Ashina and Aji were already drunk, Duan Yixian sent someone to help him out of the palace and got into a carriage. He rode his own horse and went back to Prince Yi's mansion together.

Ever since Ashinalan married into Prince Yi's mansion, there was finally an extra mistress in the mansion, and someone took care of all the affairs in the mansion.

As soon as the group stopped in front of the palace, someone greeted them immediately. Duan Yixian got off the horse and asked someone to help the drunk Ashina Aji out of the carriage. Ashinalan was already waiting in the main hall.

Ashina Aji saw his younger sister at a glance, swept away the hand that was holding him, walked unsteadily in front of Ashina Lan, and patted her on the shoulder, "Sister, you're here, but it's okay .”

Ashinalan married and came to the Central Plains for several months, and finally saw her family. She was very happy, but seeing Ashina Aji's drunken appearance, she couldn't help frowning, "Why do you drink so much wine?"

Duan Yixian sat down on the chair beside him, took a sip of tea, and felt that his brain was a little clearer before replying, "Everyone came to toast, and I drank too much before I knew it. It's getting late today, so go to bed first , you brothers and sisters will catch up on the old days tomorrow."

Ashinalan nodded, and called the servants, "Prepare some hot water for my brother to take a bath, and then send it to the guest room to rest."

The servants helped Ashina Aji down, only Duan Yixian and Ashinalan were left in the main hall, Ashinalan walked up to Duan Yixian, and said softly, "Your Highness, let's go back to rest too?"

Duan Yixian got up and took Ashinalan's shoulders, "I smell like alcohol all over, go take a shower first, go back to your room and wait for me."

Ashinalan nodded in agreement, looked at Duan Yixian shyly and timidly, then turned and walked towards the room. Duan Yixian stood behind her and sighed softly.

It has been several months since the wedding, and some people have fixed their eyes on Ashinalan's belly, because although Duan Yixian is not the prince, but because he is the oldest among the princes and the first to get married, once Ashinalan is happy , that is the legitimate grandson of the emperor.

Duan Yixian also knew this truth, but he didn't take any action.For several months, he either slept in the study under the excuse of being busy, or went back to the room after Ashinalan fell asleep. Perhaps Ashinalan also had doubts in his heart.

It wasn't until late at night that Duan Yixian returned to the room, opened the door and found that Ashinalan was not asleep, and was waiting for him on the couch. Duan Yixian closed the door with his hand back, blew out the candle, "Go to sleep." Lie down beside Ashinalan.

In the dark, a pair of gentle hands covered Duan Yixian's chest, Duan Yixian was stunned for a moment, but still did not respond, Ashinalan leaned his head on his chest, and asked softly, "Your Highness, are you busy in court these days? "

Duan Yixian gave a vague "hmm".

"A few days ago, I went into the palace to visit my concubine mother. What the concubine mother said was that we should have a baby sooner." Ashinalan breathed on Duan Yixian's face, and his voice was soft.

Duan Yixian didn't answer, but suddenly heard Ashina Lan chuckle, and then felt the people around him sit up, "If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness, nothing happened on our wedding day. His Highness didn’t marry me at all, just because I was the daughter of Turkic Khan, as he said in front of my father Khan, was it, Your Highness?”

Duan Yixian sat up, with a flat tone, "If I say yes, what are you going to do?"

Ashinalan shook his head, "I am a woman of a foreign race and married to the Central Plains alone, what can I do?"

"Isn't your elder brother sleeping in the study room? You can go to him, explain everything to him, and ask him to take you away." Duan Yixian got up, lit the candle on the table, sat down by the table, and saw Ah Shi Nalan sat on the bed wearing a tunic, his face was no longer as gentle as before.

"If I have that kind of thought, I'm afraid His Highness will make me unable to speak again before I walk out of this room." Ashinalan chuckled, "What's more, the relationship between me and my brother is also very serious. It's not as deep as it seems, how can there be so much brotherly love, isn't your Highness clear about this?"

Duan Yixian smiled, "I misread you."

"Your Highness is not mistaken. In fact, I am indeed... to Your Highness, but you married me because I am the daughter of the Turkic Khan, so why not marry you because you are King Yi. I thought I could be you with peace of mind." My princess, but these few months..." Ashinalan said quietly, "Since this is already the case, why don't we cooperate?"

Thin lips raised slightly, Duan Yixian looked at Ashina Lan with great interest, "How to cooperate?"

"Did Your Highness know about the custom of adoptive marriage in Turkic? That is, one day in the future when my father Khan dies, the elder brother who succeeds Khan can continue to marry my mother?" Ashinalan said softly.

"I've heard of it once or twice."

Ashinalan sighed, "Actually, my mother was just a court lady in the previous dynasty. She was granted the status of a random princess and sent to Turkic marriage. Over the years, she has not had a good time there. Now my father Khan is still alive. Well, one day in the future my father Khan will be gone, I'm afraid her life will be even more difficult."

Duan Yixian glanced over Ashinalan's face, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Ashinalan bit his lower lip, and finally said, "I want Your Highness to promise that no matter what you become in the future, I will be your wife. If one day in the future, Your Highness has absolute status, help me My mother took her back to the Central Plains."

"Then what good am I?"

Ashinalan slightly raised the corners of her lips, "Didn't your highness marry me to gain the support of the Turks? As long as my father Khan is still alive, I can guarantee it. Besides, having a smart and cooperative Princess Yi is also a windfall Bar?"

Duan Yixian stared at Ashinalan for a while, then got up quickly, "In this case, the princess should rest early, tomorrow, the news of Princess Yi's happiness will spread throughout the palace, presumably the princess doesn't care?"

"nature."

Duan Yixian took one last look at Ashina Lan, turned back and extinguished the candle, got up and left the room.

Ashinalan sat alone in the dark for a long time, then lay down to rest again.

Duan Yixian went back to the study room, as soon as the lights in the study room were lit, someone knocked on the door, and then Fu Sheng pushed the door open and came in.

Duan Yixian glanced at him, "Did you hear what was said just now?"

"This subordinate didn't do it on purpose, it's just that it's my turn to be on duty tonight, please don't blame the master." Fu Sheng said seriously.

Duan Yixian glared at him, "Don't pretend to me. Now that I heard it, I will find a reliable imperial doctor to come to the mansion tomorrow. I was worried about what to do about this matter, but I didn't expect this Ashina Lan to really make me feel sick. Accident."

Fu Sheng hesitated for a while and said, "The master means to let the princess have a fake pregnancy? If that's the case, why don't you really... have a child of your own?"

"What's the use of having a child if the parents don't agree?" Duan Yixian said lightly, "But from now on, we should send someone to keep an eye on Ashinalan, so as not to make any mistakes with her."

"My subordinate understands."

Duan Yixian poured water for the two, and handed Fu Sheng a cup, "I asked you to send someone to check Ashina Aji, is there anything special?"

"It's almost the same as the rumors. Ashina Aji's mother died early, but because he was the youngest son and his martial arts skills are superb, he was favored. If there is something special, it is probably that this little prince... is very masculine." Fu Sheng said laughed.

Hearing this, Duan Yixian shook his hand holding the teacup, "Are you sure?"

"What's so uncertain about this kind of thing? This is a well-known secret in the Turkic Dynasty. It is also said that he likes handsome boys the most. In Turkic, someone in Turkic specially captured or bought him from the Central Plains to curry favor with him. " Fu Sheng took a big mouthful of tea and said.

Duan Yixian immediately remembered the way Ashina Aji looked at Ren Zhi at the banquet, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Seeing this meaning, Duan Yimo should have known Ashina Aji's hobby for a long time, no wonder he specially invited Ren Zhi He went to his mansion.

"My seventh brother is well-informed. Ashina Aji will definitely go to Chen Wangfu for a banquet in the past few days, and he will also send people to follow, but you must be careful. The last time I suppressed Duan Yimo who was carefully raised by Duan Yimo, this sum He will never forget the debt." Duan Yixian leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again, "How about Ren Zhi?"

"Ren Zhi doesn't know why he insisted on sending someone to investigate the village where Concubine De lived in her early years. I have already sent someone to look for it, and I will send back any news."

Duan Yixian frowned and didn't speak any more. Although he was not very clear why Ren Zhi suddenly targeted Concubine De, but the two had known each other for many years, even if they couldn't understand his thoughts, Duan Yixian could still support him.

Fu Sheng looked at Duan Yixian hesitant to speak, Duan Yixian looked up at him, "Just say what you have to say."

"The subordinates just feel that as Ren Zhi is getting older, his body will always change again, and if he stays in the palace, the possibility of his identity being discovered will be greater... Should we prepare a way out for him?" Fu Sheng There was worry in his tone, in his mind, Ren Zhi had always been like his younger brother, and he couldn't help but think more about him.

Duan Yixian nodded, "I see, I will think about it, and I will step up my actions as soon as possible. He reminded him to be careful. In addition, send someone to contact the master to see how he is in contact with the former ministers."

"This subordinate understands, then... I'm stepping back." Fu Sheng turned around and left the study, Duan Yixian sighed deeply by himself.

Why doesn't he worry about letting it go, but now he can't do anything, only if he realizes what he wants in the future, can he exchange for the safety of all the people he cares about.
