Chapter 156
Shangguan Huan fought on the battlefield for his country, escaped from death countless times, and made countless military achievements.Even though the Hunjun was unwilling to accept his strength, he did not dare to engulf his military exploits in front of all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and under the eyes of the people, so he had to reward him with gritted teeth, hatred and fear.So although he was ranked ninth, he was the highest ranking prince.Even if the emperor withdrew his military power, his reputation over the years remained undiminished.

As his concubine, Meng Yuxuan's rank is naturally higher than other concubines.Therefore, when she put on the gorgeous princess dress, the whole person was dumbfounded.She grabbed the neckline that was so tight that she couldn't breathe, looked at Shangguan Huan sadly and said, "Do I have to wear it like this? I can hardly breathe."

Shangguan Huan couldn't help laughing when he saw her appearance.At this time, he was also wearing a suit of formal attire. With a strong figure, he wore a suit of gorgeous clothes to look as sharp as a suit of armor.He put his arms around her waist and said, "If you don't like wearing it, let's change into our usual clothes. Anyway, we're going through the motions."

"No. If I don't follow the rules, that stupid king will have more reason to pick on you." Meng Yuxuan took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions.

"Father, mother..." Shangguanxi walked in from the outside.

Shangguanxi is the former prince's child, but no one has ever told him.He always thought he was Shangguan Huan's child.Shangguan Huan was going to attend his birthday today. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to tell him about it.Otherwise, let him hear the news from other people's mouths, maybe he won't be able to bear the blow.When he told Shangguanxi the news, Shangguanxi was silent for a long time.He saw the sadness in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Shangguan Huan can't comfort others. When he was at a loss, Shangguanxi had already controlled his emotions.His character is like his biological father, and he is born with leadership skills.This was also the reason why Shangguan Huan wanted to train him wholeheartedly.

"Xi'er, if you don't want to go..." Meng Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Xi's clothes and felt sorry for him.

Clothes in this day and age are really weird to have so many layers.The more expensive the status, the more clothes you wear.Although each piece is as thin as a gauze, it cannot stand up to the large quantity!Fortunately, Shangguanxi had practiced martial arts for a while, otherwise he would not be able to bear the weight of his clothes.

"Mother, I want to go." Shangguanxi raised his face with a serious expression. "I want to see what the man who killed my father looks like."

"You are so young, those things are not what you think about." Meng Yuxuan put her arms around him and said pitifully, "Your father will avenge you."

Shangguanxi took Meng Yuxuan's hand and looked at her with worried eyes: "I'm not my father's child, can I still call you mother?"

"Who said you weren't? You will always be your father's child and your mother's child. As long as you want, you can always call us that." Meng Yuxuan said while touching his small face.

"Mother." Shangguan Xi whimpered, "Xi'er is afraid that you don't want me anymore."

"Fool. How could Mother not want you? You are Mother's favorite child." Meng Yuxuan wiped away tears for Shangguanxi. "Xi'er, you have to follow me closely later. The palace is very dangerous, and we didn't plan to take you there. But that stupid king didn't know what he was planning, and an imperial decree forced us to obey the arrangement. You eat now One pill, one pill that cures all poisons so they can't hurt you."

Shangguanxi took the pill obediently.Meng Yuxuan and Shangguan Huan also ate.The family of three rushed to the palace in a carriage.

At the gate of the palace, the forbidden army stopped their carriage.When they saw that the person inside was Shangguan Huan, they immediately let them go.

"I have seen the Ninth Prince." The imperial guards saluted respectfully.

Shangguan Huan smiled lightly, "Are you all okay?"

"My lord, don't worry, all the subordinates are fine." One of them said with tears in his eyes, "The subordinates have been looking forward to the return of the lord, and finally they have waited."

"I'll meet you guys for a drink another day." Shangguan Huan said to several people.

"Yes." Everyone responded sonorously.

Meng Yuxuan only felt that those people were very familiar, so she opened the curtain and looked at them.When those people saw Meng Yuxuan, they also felt familiar.When the carriage went far away, one of them patted his forehead and said: "I remember now. Isn't the lady inside the pregnant woman we released last time? Do you remember? She entered the queen mother's palace through the back door disguised as a court lady. But, she How could you be with the Ninth Prince?"

"Are you stupid? Today is the emperor's birthday, and she is wearing the official dress of a princess. Since she is with the Ninth Prince, she must be the princess." Another person said with an ugly face: "The emperor actually treats his daughter-in-law..."

"Shh! Don't die!" The most stable guard next to him said, "Don't talk about this matter again, our lord would be ashamed to say it."

"We actually saved the princess." The tall guard wiped his cold sweat and said, "If we hadn't been soft-hearted at that time, maybe the princess had fallen into the clutches of the devil. Fortunately, my conscience was still there at that time, otherwise I would have died today to apologize."

"As long as the prince gives an order, we will follow the prince's lead. Fuck the emperor..."

"But we alone can't do much. Recently, everyone has split up. The prince is back, and there are many brothers who have been sent to other places without knowing it. We have to bring this news to them. They will be very happy when they find out. happy."

When the guards thought of Meng Yuxuan, the latter also thought of them.She took Shangguan Huan's hand and told what happened last time.

After hearing this, Shangguan Huan said with relief: "I must thank them well some other day. They were originally my subordinates. Because of my troubles, good generals were demoted to the forbidden army. In the past, they protected me and supported me in the barracks. Now They saved Xuan'er again. I must repay this kindness."

"Yes." Meng Yuxuan lifted the curtain, looked at the luxuriously decorated palace and said, "We have already entered. Be careful from now on."

As soon as Meng Yuxuan finished speaking, an eunuch said outside: "My lord, my concubine, little prince, please get off the carriage."

Shangguan Huan got off the carriage first, then held her hand and led her down.Finally, he said to Shangguan Xi who was standing on the carriage: "Come."

Shangguan Xi threw herself into Shangguan Huan's arms, and there was a momentary relaxation on her small face.

"Ninth Prince, Ninth Concubine is here." The eunuch at the door saw their family of three appearing and said loudly.

In the magnificent palace, pairs of eyes stared at the three of them.The well-dressed ministers and wives had suspicious eyes, lowered their heads and said something quietly.The entire palace is full of people, sitting where they should sit according to their grades.A eunuch came and took them to the front.

Meng Yuxuan looked around the entire palace, facing the gazes of those strangers, she followed Shangguan Huan and sat down.

This was the first time she saw a member of the royal family other than Hunjun.Shangguan Huan ranked ninth, and there were eight older brothers in front of him.The former prince died a few years ago, the fifth prince died young, and now there are only six elder brothers left.Because Shangguan Huan had the highest achievement, all six elder brothers sat behind him.

Of course, Shangguan Huan was not the one sitting first.Sitting in the first place is Princess Ziyang's family.That is, Shen Chenzhi's parents and Shen Chenzhi.Meng Yuxuan and Shangguanhuan were seated next to Shen Chenzhi.Opposite them was Prime Minister Li's family, and Meng Yuxuan could see Li Ye when she looked up.

Shangguan Xi sat between Shangguan Huan and Meng Yuxuan.Shangguan Huan quietly held Meng Yuxuan's hand from below, watching her expression from time to time.

Meng Yuxuan understood Shangguanhuan's thoughts.Seeing Li Ye, she was indeed a little uncomfortable.But I had expected to see him here, so I was already trying to control my emotions.Li Ye kept looking at her, even though Shangguan Huan was here, he didn't move a bit.

Meng Yuxuan didn't dare to stare at him.She was afraid to see emotions that she was afraid to face.Now she has no way to give him hope.

"Mother, why does that good-looking person across from you keep staring at you?" Shangguanxi asked curiously, raising his face.

"He's not looking at Mother, but Xi'er. He thinks Xi'er is very cute." Meng Yuxuan touched Shangguan Xi's small face and said.

"Brother Ye, you came so early." A woman in red sat next to Li Ye, approached Li Ye and said, "What are you looking at? Why are you ignoring me? Who is that person?"

The woman in red looked at Meng Yuxuan who was opposite, frowned and said, "Isn't that Uncle Jiu? Is that next to her princess? I heard that she is from a humble family background. She really has a vicious look, and she doesn't look like a serious woman. But with Uncle Nine's status, he must not be picky."

"Princess, you are insulting your uncle and your aunt. The Ninth Prince has made a lot of contributions to the court. If it weren't for him, this country would have existed in name only. You can live a happy life for so many years, that is Because the Ninth Prince is fighting the enemy desperately at the border. How can you say that about your uncle and aunt?" Li Ye turned his head and looked expressionlessly at the woman in red, who was the eldest daughter of the Third Prince, Princess Linglong.

Princess Linglong is the prostitute's daughter and has always been loved by her.This was the first time a man didn't give her face in front of everyone. At that moment, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.With red eyes, she said in embarrassment: "What's wrong with insulting him? Who doesn't know that his mother is a foxy girl, who is obviously married and seduces the emperor. I don't know if he is my decent uncle! I just don't know. Don't recognize such relatives. Brother Ye, you actually scolded me for an outsider. I am the princess, a serious royal family, how can those people with unknown origins be able to compare?"

"Princess, calm down." Prime Minister Li originally didn't want to participate in the conversation between the two juniors, but seeing Princess Linglong crying in anger from Li Ye, he could no longer pretend that he didn't know anything, so he had to come forward to smooth things over. "Ye'er was also worried that the princess would be hated by others, so he reminded the princess. The Ninth Prince's influence in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer the warrior who had nothing at the beginning. Now more than half of the generals in the court are loyal to him. Some civil servants also surrendered to him."
