The concubine is a little evil

Chapter 9

Shangguan Yun asked someone to pour wine for him, and after drinking, he talked about why he stayed in the palace so late today with great interest. "I won't tell you, I'll let you guess first." Shangguan Yun played a child's trick, and everyone at the banquet began to think about it.

"If it wasn't for the emperor to send the prince on an errand?" Li Xiaofu knew what it was, but deliberately didn't say it. The fun of guessing riddles is to know, but also to pretend not to know, otherwise there is no point.

Shangguan Yun said with a smile: "Half right, it's just that you guys have to guess what it is."

"It must be a good thing to see the prince so happy." Lin Yueyan said softly.

Shangguan Yun said loudly: "Yes! Good thing, but what kind of good thing is it? You can't guess." Everyone at the banquet thought with their chins on their hands. Their behavior made Shangguan Xi feel goosebumps. The acting skills of these people were also amazing. That's great, pretending to be so stupid, she stretched out her chopsticks and picked up the edamame.

Today's edamame was fried well, with other side dishes, as well as chili peppers, spicy and salty, very much to Shangguan Xi's appetite, she couldn't help eating a few more mouthfuls, while the others continued to pretend to be stupid.

Shangguan Yun said with a smile: "This king knows that you can't think of it, okay, don't think about it anymore, let this king tell you, the emperor and I discussed the marriage of the princess and Ju'er and Xi'er today."

Li Xiaofu beamed with joy when others were unimpressed. "My lord, is this true?" She almost couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen, which made Shangguan Yun very proud, "Is that true, or is it just chatting?"

"What do you think? Later, the queen also participated in the topic. She was very impressed with Ju'er and said a lot of things that made me proud. Ju'er, you have to work hard and don't let down the expectations of being a father, emperor, and queen."

Shangguanju replied respectfully: "Yes, Father. My child understands." His eyes moved down, and he said in his heart: "It seems that I have made the right move. I have left a deep impression on the queen. She even told me Good words, as long as it continues, the second princess is just something in my pocket. Although the eldest princess is also very good, but the second princess is the queen's biological daughter. It will be more helpful for your future." He glanced at Shangguan Xi, hum!If this fool hadn't gone astray, I'm afraid my road to marrying a wife would still be quite unsatisfactory. This is God's will, and God's will cannot be violated!

Shangguan Ju and his mother exchanged glances, both of them were very happy.

Shangguan Yun praised Shangguan Xi again. Both sons are his darlings. As a father, he doesn't want to be biased. Besides, Shangguan Xi looks very much like when he was young. Own.He let his family eat, and drank wine alone. When he was in a good mood, he almost grew wings behind him.

After the meal, Shangguan Yun left the two sons behind and wanted to have a private meeting, letting the others go ahead.There was worry in Lin Yueyan's eyebrows, but when she met Shangguan Xi's calm eyes, her uneasy heart seemed to calm down a little, and she slowly returned to the room with uneasiness.

There were three father and son left in the hall, Shangguan Yun was not in a hurry to say anything, holding a teacup in his hand, drinking tea and looking at his two sons, his eyes moved to the tea again.It took a long time before he said: "Do you know why I want to keep you?" Interacting with his son also lost the seriousness in front of others.

Shangguan Ju has rules in every word and deed, and he doesn't relax at all just because this is a private meeting with his father. His plays are excellent in Shangguan Xi's eyes. "Report to the father, the child doesn't know, please tell the father clearly."

The eldest son doesn't know, but does the second son need to know?So when Shangguan Yun threw the question to Shangguan Xi, she also respectfully replied that she didn't know.

"You should cherish this opportunity well. This is the emperor's trust in the whole Xiaoyao Mansion. In these years, my military power has been taken away. The emperor has suspicions about the Shangguan family. I know it very well, but this time the emperor intends to have a relationship with Shangguan. Marriage between families is to let go of suspicion, and we have to show sincerity to make the emperor trust more, so that father will have the opportunity to regain the military power and make a career that will not be wasted in this life."

Over the years, Shangguan Yun has been deeply concerned about the loss of his military power.Seizing the military power, letting go of idle officials, and having a higher rank, he has no real power in his hands.He felt that he couldn't do anything, and his heart was almost empty. At this time, the emperor's gesture of kindness undoubtedly gave him hope in his heart. He hoped that after marrying the royal family, the emperor would allow him to command a great army again.

As a man, how can you be willing to waste your whole life.

After hearing what he said, Shangguan Ju and Shangguan Xi obediently said 'yes'.It's just that at the moment of respect, Shangguan Xi couldn't help showing a mocking smile. This Shangguan Yun actually wanted to take this opportunity to take the position, and he couldn't think too much. Maybe the emperor was afraid that you would be unbalanced and use his own daughter. Let's make peace with each other, so that you don't have nothing to think about rebelling, but you don't intend to let you take the military power and threaten the throne again.

"Now that you know what I think, you should work hard, don't let anything happen in the process of marrying the princess, cherish the opportunity, and it will be beneficial to yourself and will not cause any harm."

The two followed Shangguan Yun's instruction and left after he had finished speaking.Shangguan Yun was left alone in the hall, sighing, with an inexplicable joy on his face, he finally kept the cloud open to see the moon, and he no longer had to be this boring prince who faded out of the bird.

Shangguan Ju and Shangguan Xi left the hall together, and went to their respective dormitories. It was just the part where they were walking together. Shangguan Ju had something in his heart to ask Shangguan Xi.He hesitated again and again before speaking, "Xi'er."

"Brother, do you have something to say?"

"It's not anything special, just want to ask if you have any thoughts on what your father said?"

"Idea? Brother, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, as the eldest son of my father, I naturally have to think more about the Xiaoyao Mansion. Today we are also entering the palace. What does Xi'er have for the two princesses? Well, it's just some of my own thoughts. I have to talk to my elder brother earlier. Tell me, don't we fall in love with someone together, and embarrass the father and the emperor."

Embarrassed?Shangguan Xi snorted lightly.I'm afraid it's not that the prince and the emperor are in trouble, it's that someone is worried that she and he will rob the same person.She undoubtedly didn't want to get married, after all, she didn't want to find a woman to watch her, but she didn't want Shangguan Ju to know, why did she let him know?

"The big brother said the same thing, but Xi'er lost his way today, and he forgot everything about the past. It's also possible that he doesn't remember what the princess looks like. I really don't know which one I like. If the big brother is interested, Xi'er won't Just choose." If you know who it is, I'll screw you up!

Shangguan laughed and said, "I don't like anyone either. Xi'er doesn't need to worry too much. Since you haven't seen the princess before, how about this? Tomorrow I'll have someone paint the portraits of the eldest princess and the second princess. You choose one and be the eldest brother." Would you still snatch a wife with your younger brother? Hehe."

"Since elder brother insists on this, it is better to be respectful than obedience."

Shangguan Ju and Shangguan Xi parted ways. Shangguan Xi went back to the room, lying on the bed and recalling the events of the day, he couldn't help but "vomit" tens of thousands of times in his heart, pretending that there are so many Oscar winners and actresses in this house.Will Shangguanju be like this?He said it as if it was great, but who knew what he was thinking.

Shangguan Ju really had concerns in his heart. He was afraid that Shangguan Xi would also have the idea of ​​the second princess. It would be best if she could turn her attention to the eldest princess. It would save a lot of trouble, and Shangguan Ju would have an idea right away.As soon as the brothers broke up, he was busy making arrangements.

The palace at the same time.

The emperor and queen were about to go to bed, and before going to bed, they were talking about their children's marriage. "Your Majesty, how do you plan to match Chi Liang and Han Liang?" This is the biggest problem the couple is currently facing.

Yin Yu asked, "Does the queen have any good ideas?"

Fang Shiqiu said: "It's not a good idea, but I have seen the two young masters with my own eyes. The eldest son is stable and dignified, has the style of a gentleman, has the capacity to tolerate, and is cautious in his words. He is a rare candidate for a good son-in-law. The second son is gentle. Thoughtful, a little younger, but he is also a rare handsome man, and the concubine has heard that he is good at reading and has a certain reputation in the capital, and it is rare that such a rough man as Xiaoyao Wang can give birth to two exquisite sons."

Yin Yu smiled, "Queens seldom praise others, but this time she praised King Xiaoyao's son like nothing else in the world, it seems that she has favored her."

Fang Shiqiu just smiled and said nothing, she just spoke out Yin Yu's heart for him.

"That's fine, good character, a daughter is blessed, and a parent can be at ease. King Xiaoyao has always been my heartache. I took away his military power and I was afraid that he would be angry in his heart, and his relationship with me would be alienated." Get up, get married, hope he can feel better, know that I am not alienating him because of personal reasons, but that the imperial power must be kept in a safe line, it would be best if he understands."

Fang Shiqiu comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't worry, King Xiaoyao is a smart man, and one day he will understand the Emperor's intentions, so don't worry too much. According to my concubine's wishes, I should take a few days off recently, take care of me." Take care of your second daughter."

"What's the matter, Han Liang is not happy?"

"It's not that she's unhappy, she runs out of the palace diligently every day. It's just that there is a conflict in the marriage, and the daughter's family is shy, so she insists on looking left and thinking right. The concubine gave her a week. If there is no good choice at that time, The concubine will decide for her."

Yin Yu smiled and patted Fang Shiqiu's hand. "Go to sleep, it's getting late." The two pulled the quilt and slowly lay down to rest.
