218 The First Conflict
In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother had been waiting for them for a long time. The two of them knelt down to salute and then hurriedly had people help them up. They pulled them to their sides one by one and took a good look at them.
"The Ai family finally saw you getting married." The Queen Mother patted Shangguan Jue's hand with emotion, then pulled Qingluan to her side and said, "You can never leave Jue'er in a situation like that. It shows that you are a caring person.
You are a good and righteous boy. Jue'er will be left to you from now on. He is a good boy and he will definitely think of you."
Qingluan could sense that the old queen mother truly loved Shangguan Jue, so she agreed with a smile.
The Queen Mother asked the palace attendants to present the meeting gift she had prepared, which was a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants.
Two more maids brought soft cushions and placed them in front of the old prince and Concubine Xiao. Qingluan raised her eyebrows. The tea should have been served to her father-in-law, but unfortunately her father-in-law and mother-in-law died young and could not drink it.
This cup of daughter-in-law tea, as the old prince is Shangguan Jue’s biological grandfather, this kneeling
She deserves to be offered tea, but Concubine Xiao and Qingluan are not willing to kneel down to this old flower. They can give her a cup of tea because she is the old prince's woman. To put it bluntly, she is now
She is still a concubine, but a concubine, so how can she be worthy of being kneeled down by the direct lineage Shangguan Jue?
"Shuzhou?" The territory of Daxia emerged in Qingluan's mind. Shuzhou is in the southwest of Daxia. It is surrounded by mountains. Because there are many ethnic groups gathered there, the place is not easy to manage. Not only is it difficult to collect taxes,
, and there have been civil unrest and riots from time to time.
None of the governors who came to take charge of Shuzhou had any good results. The previous one had his head cut off in his sleep. The murderer has not been found so far. The emperor took the prince of Wei to that place. To put it mildly, it was for training.
To put it mildly, it means exile.
Qingluan said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, we will live a good life in the future."
Qingluan was amused by his strange description. The description of the monsters in Prince Qin's Mansion was really apt.
"Prince Qin's Mansion controls the most elite army of the Great Xia Dynasty. No one in power would be relieved. It's not just because of him. Back then, my father was too sharp.
It must be said that the old man’s Northwest Army is so powerful.
My father was already a general at that time, so how could he be hit by a stray arrow so easily?" The look on Shangguan Jue's face was heavier than ever before. Some things he thought would be forgotten if he didn't uncover them, but unfortunately those wounds were too deep.
It still hurts every time.
The two of them got on the carriage, and Shangguan Jue asked, "Is there someone at Kunning Palace giving you a hard time?"
Qingluan looked at Shangguan Jue's gloomy look, and thought that Shangguan Jue had been in and out of the same house with the Crown Prince of Wei many times. The relationship between the two people must have been unusual, so this time the prince would feel bad for him.
Only the Crown Prince of Wei was allowed to go to Shuzhou alone, so the people who stayed behind were naturally hostages. Qingluan pursed her lips. To be honest, she only had a cold word in her mind about her impression of Prince Wei, and his face had no emotion.
Someone once saved his life. Such a person is born to be proud. Even though he has an idiot father, he still shouldered the responsibility of Prince Wei. Qingluan admired such a person in his heart.
"It's impossible to find out. There were too many people who wanted him dead at the beginning." Shangguan Jue shook his head. When his father died, he was still in his mother's belly. When he grew up, those things could no longer be investigated.
.
When the carriage drove into Prince Qin's palace, Shangguan Jue straightened up, put on his signature ruffian smile, and said: "Let's go, it's time to fight monsters next."
Such uninterested words made Qingluan's heart twist, and he said with a slight force of his fingers: "Shangguan Jue, tell me, are you looking like this to show the people in Prince Qin's palace or to satisfy the people above?
?”
"Do you know who did it?" Qingluan felt a little sorry for him. Power and money are always the most hurtful things.
"The emperor asked Prince Wei to go to Shuzhou. There was a riot there some time ago. The emperor asked him to calm down and garrison Shuzhou." Shangguan Jue said after a long while.
Only then did this idea come to Qingluan's mind. Shangguan Jue kicked over the maid who was handing over the soft mat without blinking an eye: "Are you blind? Even if you want to kneel to me, I should go to the clan.
kneel."
"Only the Crown Prince of Wei is going, and everyone else in the Palace of Wei, including the Crown Prince and his concubine, are staying in Shangjing." During these days, the emperor has been constantly weakening the power of the Crown Prince of Wei, and found a few innocuous reasons to express his anger.
Due to the party of Prince Wei's princes, the originally well-established Prince Wei's Mansion suddenly became cold. Many people even drew a clear line with Prince Wei's Mansion for the sake of self-protection. Who knew that this was just the beginning.
"What about Prince Wei's Mansion?" Qingluan asked. Prince Wei was the most popular candidate for the crown prince. The emperor must have considered his identity at one time. However, in the end, this nephew was not as good as his own son. If the emperor had no son,
Under the circumstances, there is nothing wrong with Prince Wei becoming the crown prince, but now that the emperor already has a biological son, if Prince Wei keeps eyeing the throne, he will be a treacherous official and traitor.
"The Aijia hopes that you can be harmonious and beautiful in the future."
Shangguan Jue curled his lips in a self-deprecating tone: "I've learned this a long time ago."
After chatting with them for a while, the Queen Mother asked them to leave and came to the palace early in the morning. There were still a lot of relatives in Prince Qin's palace waiting for them to recognize them.
But Qingluan also knew in his heart that it was precisely because of his outstanding abilities that Shangguan Rui was afraid of him, worried that one day he would compete with his prince for that position.
The old prince patted the table hard. Concubine Xiao was already full of children and grandchildren at this age. Even if she was not Shangguan Jue's biological grandmother, they all lived in the same mansion. What's more, Shangguan Yu's family was still sitting there. He
Isn't this trying to cause disharmony in the family by not giving Concubine Xiao face?
"Am I making trouble? Aren't you confused? Is she worthy of my prince's cup of tea?" Shangguan Jue pointed at Concubine Xiao with a look of disdain on his face.
Shangguan Jue couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words. He raised his head suddenly and met Qingluan's calm eyes. He always knew that this girl was smart and her vision was not limited to the backyard of the house, but he didn't expect her to be like this.
of keenness.
"Shangguan Jue, you should know that there is never any family affection in the Tian family." Qingluan took Shangguan Jue's hand and comforted him.
The old prince didn't expect that Shangguan Jue would do something stupid today, so he couldn't help but said with a serious look on his face: "What are you making a fuss about?"
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Qingluan asked worriedly when he saw Shangguan Jue's face darkened and his appearance was different when he followed the palace. 13acv.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here. Your Majesty and Concubine Xiao have been waiting for a long time." The speaker was a mother who was about forty years old next to Concubine Xiao. She was wearing a sky-blue trousers and looked quite respectable.
, the person who can speak in such a situation is probably a slave, a person who can reach the sky with one hand.
It had only been three years since Shangguan Rui ascended the throne, and what Shangguan was most wary of was the person in charge. Facts have proved that an incompetent person who ascended the throne of Prince Qin's palace lived a much more wanton and happy life than an outstanding person who ascended the throne.
His tone was very calm, but Qingluan could feel the hatred in his tone. How could he not hate it? That man was his biological father. Qingluan didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to open his arms and hug Shangguan.
Absolutely.
"Empress Jiang is a virtuous and virtuous person, so she will naturally not embarrass me." Qingluan said. There was no apparent embarrassment, but seeing Jiang Yao in Kunning Palace, Qingluan's heart felt a little heavy. If she guessed
That's right. Not only is this woman very scheming, but she is also very skilled. Such a person is naturally feared.
Concubine Xiao was about to cry, but she held back her tears and forced out an embarrassed smile.
Below them in order of age are Shangguan Yu, Feng and the children in their room. Compared to Shangguan Jue, the population is really bleak.
From the moment the prince was born, the fate of the prince of Wei to be suppressed was a foregone conclusion.
Qingluan never thought that Shangguan Jue would get angry like this. Looking at the angry faces of Shangguan Yu and his family, he felt even more uncomfortable for Shangguan Jue. These people were bullying Shangguan Jue and left him alone.
Help.
When the two of them entered, it was already full of people.
There was the sound of a carriage running across the road, and during the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke, they just cuddled up to each other quietly. There was so much helplessness in this world.
Sitting on the top seat was the old prince, and this time sitting next to him was Concubine Xiao. She was wearing a sapphire blue trousers, with a slight smile on her face, and she was looking straight.
Looking at the two of them kindly, if someone who didn't know better really thought she was Shangguan Jue's biological grandmother.
Ning Li was so generous. When Shangguan Tan was mentioned, Shangguan Jue's eyes showed a hint of admiration. Although he had never met him, this did not prevent a boy from admiring his father from the bottom of his heart.
The maid was so frightened that she could not speak after being kicked by Shangguan Jue. The originally joyful atmosphere suddenly became stiff.
"She can't afford it, so I can. Kneel down, because you don't want your wife to enter the clan anymore." The old prince glared. This kid's temper can't be defeated. He's such a bastard.
Shangguan Jue's face darkened, and his hands hanging on his sides could not help but clenched into fists. He was threatening him. The old prince can now be said to be the most senior elder of the Shangguan family. Qingluan, as the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family, her name
You have to join the clan to be considered
She has officially become Shangguan Jue's wife. The old guys in the clan have always disliked her. If the old guy intervenes, something might happen. But if he is asked to kneel to that old woman, his tone is too...
How to swallow it.
