Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1222 All-Star Lineup

Yuwen Ye also glanced behind him and said with a faint smile: "My Royal Brother, thank you for the compliment."

After saying that, he stepped back and turned sideways: "My royal brother, please."

When the Crown Prince and the King of Qi arrived, not only did the King of Qin and his people come out to greet them, but the guests in the palace also stood up. When Yuwen Qian and others walked into the palace, everyone knelt on both sides. Yuwen Qian just asked everyone to stand up and said, "I am not the host today, so you don't have to be so polite."

Yuwen Ye welcomed the three of them to the lobby.

Today, the King of Qin moved into a new residence, and many people came to celebrate. No matter they were close to him, or had different political views, or were hostile, they all put it aside for the sake of courtesy, and the atmosphere seemed peaceful. People were not surprised by the arrival of Yuwen Qian and Yuwen Cheng, but the atmosphere became a little weird.

After all, the relationship between the Crown Prince, the King of Qi, and the King of Qin was destined to be not harmonious since the death of Duke Shenwu.

In addition, this time the King of Qin returned victorious from Luoyang, and a group of meritorious officials under Yuwen Ye were given titles and rewards, almost swallowing up half of the court. He himself became the general of the twelve guards, and the entire Chang'an city was in his pocket. Although Yuwen Qian was called the prince, in terms of reputation and merit, he was far inferior to his second brother.

Yuwen Cheng was given the title of General Zhenbei, a title with great fame but little real power.

What's more, the Princess of Qin and the Crown Princess, both majestic ladies who have made many military achievements, are incomparable.

Yu Mingyue's face was cold from the moment she entered the mansion. When she sat in the lobby, she looked around carefully. She still didn't know much about military affairs, so she didn't know much about the personnel arrangements in this mansion. But at this moment, almost all the people crowded in the lobby were Yuwen Ye's confidants, from Shentu Tai to Shan Tong'er, from Shen Wuzheng to Pei Xingyuan, as well as Jiang Wei, Liang Youying, Shi Yuxin, Shi Yutao, Xue Lin, Mu Xian, Cheng Qiao, Gao Feng, Jiang Kesheng, and Yan Buhuai, Dai Junliang, Lei Guo, who had come from various places recently to receive their rewards and titles and congratulate the King of Qin... All of them had made great military achievements.

Yu Mingyue could only describe this scene with a sentence that was far away from her -

All-star lineup.

This made her mood even gloomier.

However, when she thought that they still had a knife in their hands, she felt relieved again. Yuwen Qian, who was sitting next to her, was always gentle and warm. After chatting with Yuwen Ye for a few words, he saw a stumbling figure coming in from the side door. It was his little nephew Yuan Qian. He smiled and waved to him, and looked like he really came to the house to congratulate his brother, without any other thoughts.

Yu Mingyue couldn't understand him. From the beginning, she couldn't understand Yuwen Qian who had become a wandering monk; later, after the death of Duke Shenwu, Yuwen Qian seemed to no longer bother to conceal his hatred for Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi; but ever since the other side won a huge victory at Hulao Pass with a disparity of 3,000 against 100,000, Yuwen Qian's attitude became very strange again. He seemed to accept it all very calmly, but Yu Mingyue didn't know whether this calmness was the result of excessive anger or if he really didn't care.

In short, Yuwen Qian now seemed to her like a person surrounded by a cloud of mist, and she could not see him clearly compared to the past.

At this time, Nanny Feng also walked into the hall with Yuan Qian. Yuwen Qian bent down and looked at his little nephew. Although they seemed to have a close relationship, he seemed to have never seen the child again except for seeing him once in Chengqian Palace when the child was just born and then seeing him a few times at Yuwen Yuan's place.

Time flies, and the wrinkled baby who was swaddled in swaddling clothes can now walk.

Not only that, he was round and strong, with rosy cheeks, a bit like Yuwen Ye when he was a child, but not as round and sharp as him, and his eyebrows and eyes were much softer.

Looking at the child, Yuwen Qian was a little dazed for a moment.

But the smile on his face continued unabated, and even unconsciously added a bit of tenderness: "Yuan Zi... Oh no, you already have a name. Now I should call you Yuan Qian, right? Do you know who I am?"

Yuan Qian had originally been happy to come here because there were so many people, but when he saw him, he immediately stopped. A trace of obvious panic suddenly appeared in his round black eyes. After looking at Yuwen Qian again, he turned around and hugged Nanny Feng's thighs again, like a rabbit that had burrowed into a hole, with only his butt exposed.

Some people in the crowd couldn't help laughing.

Yuwen Ye frowned slightly and stepped forward and said, "Why are you being so shy? Come and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—he is your uncle."

"Hmm."

Xiao Yuanqian twisted his body and refused.

Although Yuwen Ye loved his children, this was in public after all, and there was a hierarchy of seniority. It was not right for his nephew, Yuan Qian, to behave like this, so he reached out again and tried to pull him over.

Now little Yuanqian became anxious and opened his mouth to cry.

Grandma Feng broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't expect that in such a short period of time, two people appeared who made the little ancestor uncomfortable. One of them scared him to tears, and the other made him dare not cry.

At this moment, Yuwen Qian's gentle voice sounded: "Second brother, forget it."

Yuwen Ye turned around and looked at him, only to see Yuwen Qian looking down at Yuan Qian, whose face was red and eyes were filled with sparkling tears, and said with a smile: "You haven't been back for a long time, and Yuan Qian lives deep in the palace and rarely walks around, so we are unfamiliar. It's my fault as your uncle."

Yuwen Ye immediately said, "How can that be true, my brother?"

"But now that you have your own residence, we should still visit each other more often."

"Yes."

Shang Ruyi then breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Nanny Feng. The nurse immediately picked up Yuan Qian, bowed, and turned away.

Although this little episode was not pleasant, it did not affect the mood of the people around him too much. Yuwen Qian glanced at everyone again, smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to gather here. I'm just talking to my second brother. Just do what you need to do."

The crowd then dispersed awkwardly and went back to where they had been sitting.

After hearing what Yuwen Qian said, Yuwen Ye naturally felt reluctant to leave, so he walked aside and sat down. Shang Ruyi sat next to him. The two couples faced each other in silence. Although there was a lot of noise and excitement outside the lobby, the air inside the lobby seemed a little stagnant.

It was Yuwen Ye who spoke first: "What does your Royal Brother want to say to me?"

Yuwen Qian looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to sit down and talk with my second brother. It's been a long time since the three of us brothers sat down and talked like this."

At this time, Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Yes, I remember the last time this happened was the night I gave birth to Yuan Qian."
