Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 284
Fu Zipei shook his head, "A husband and wife have a hundred days of kindness, and the divorce letter has not been written, how can we drive them away? This will only make Xu An's reputation worse."

"Old General Xu has a straightforward personality. He has dealt with military books and armor all his life. How can he understand these twists and turns?"

"That's right, counting the time, the crown prince should bring that side concubine back soon."

The side concubine is pregnant now, she should go back to her room to rest after paying respects to heaven and earth, and she can't even drink a glass of wine.

Just as he was saying this, suddenly there was a sound of blowing and beating at the door, everyone followed the sound and looked, and sure enough, they saw the side concubine being helped into the mansion by Xi Po.

Although Bei Ao has many etiquettes, he doesn't have to cover his head when he gets married, everything depends on his preference.

The side concubine is pregnant with a baby now, she was afraid that she might not see her stumbling and stumbling feet, so she also gave up her hijab and only wore a hair crown.

Fu Xuanrong looked at the woman carefully for a moment, then smacked her tongue and said, "What a beauty, what a pity, what a pity."

Song Wenzhi also sighed, "With such good looks and a good background, if I ask my father to order and marry in accordance with the rules, today I should not be a side concubine, but a crown princess."

"This kind of thing is like a fish drinking water that knows how warm it is. Maybe the side concubine doesn't care about her status and just wants to stay with His Highness the Crown Prince for the rest of her life." Liu Yuan also expressed her opinion.

"Well, sister-in-law's words are also reasonable. By the way, why didn't you see Yuheng and Yujin?" Those two people have always been close to the crown prince. If they don't come to such a big day, they will be a bit speechless.

Fu Zipei looked at her in surprise, "Don't you know? Marshal Yuheng went to the palace, and his injuries worsened a lot when he went back. He almost went directly to the gate of hell. Yujin has been serving by his side. The prince also said , you don’t need to care about the etiquette, the most important thing is to maintain a healthy body.”

"Tsk, it's a good thing, those two eyesores are gone, I have an appetite to eat."

Fu Xuanrong was shaking her head as she drank the wine, and the front hall had already started to pray to heaven and earth. Although the prince maintained a gentle smile on his face, those who were present knew that he must be in a bad mood.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Xi Po's deliberately raised voice fell in her ears, and Fu Xuanrong glanced at the two sitting in the high hall, and finally saw this old general Xu who had been mentioned many times by everyone.

General Xu's temples were already graying, and there was an obvious scar on his neck, which should have been blown up by enemy artillery during the battle. Just by looking at him like this, Fu Xuanrong knew that this was indeed a strong general.

It's just a pity that all his integrity in this life was ruined by his children.

The crown prince and side concubine kowtowed to Old General Xu, and each offered a cup of tea.

"Father-in-law, please drink tea."

Old General Xu took the tea from the crown prince's hand, but he didn't even look at him, as if he didn't take the crown prince seriously.

Her husband was ignored, and the side concubine looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that General Xu had finished drinking the crown prince's tea, she quickly passed her own cup, "Father, you use tea."

This time, Old General Xu looked at her deeply for a moment, and said with a mixture of sigh and mockery: "Yun'er, as your father, I shouldn't have said these things at first, but after thinking about it, I still made it clear Okay. Dad is old, and I don’t know how many more years he can protect you. You chose this path yourself. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you don’t regret it.”

The concubine's eyes turned red for a moment, "Father, how can my daughter regret it?"

"That's good, there's something that Dad hasn't had time to tell you in the future, so I just want to tell you now."

"Let's talk about it after our daughter's marriage is over. Dad, drink tea first."

"No, the carriage is already ready outside. I don't have much time to delay here. Your brother caused a catastrophe. He should have been imprisoned, but the emperor granted me the grace to take him to Ninggu Temple to face the wall and think about it. I am with him. Time to go."

The concubine's fingers trembled, and she almost dropped the teacup on the ground, "What did you say? Ninggu Temple?!"

That is a more desolate place than the northern border, and it is almost entering the border of the desert. If it really goes there, can it come back in the future? !
"Well, father has been worthy of the people of his family and the country and the Holy Majesty all his life, but he is only sorry for your elder brother. He was used to being debauched in the capital since he was a child. If I don't teach him well, he will really be unable to support the wall for the rest of his life. .”

Old General Xu is old, he may go there someday, and Xu An is his only incense, and when he is about to die, he can't face the ancestors of the Xu family without shame.

The concubine's eyes were full of tears, "Father, what will my daughter do now that you are leaving?!"

She is not stupid, she knows that the prince only married her for the power of the Xu family, if her father leaves, who else can she rely on in the future?

Old General Xu smiled, but his cloudy eyes were full of misery, "I grew up holding you in my hands, and I think I have never treated you badly. As I said just now, this road is yours. I chose it by myself, and I don’t regret it later, since I have done my best, the rest is up to your own good luck.”

Not to mention the courtiers who came to the banquet, even Fu Xuanrong and the others were shocked by this turn of events.

Old General Xu finally took the tea offered by his daughter and drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and left the mansion without looking back.

The prince and the side concubine still kept their original postures kneeling on the ground, but their faces became uglier than the other, especially the side concubine, who was so weak that she seemed about to faint at any time.

This wedding banquet started without being blessed by others, and ended under inexplicable circumstances. All the ministers who came to the banquet felt like they had a fishbone stuck in their throats. They were obviously very uncomfortable, so they had to pretend Make a feast of joy, not to mention the pain.

Finally, when the wedding banquet was over, Fu Xuanrong and his party left the mansion, looking after each other silently for a long time.

"My lord, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Junhao put a fox fur coat on Fu Xuanrong, his voice was cold and arrogant, "Unexpected, but reasonable."

Old General Xu really did not humiliate his status as a veteran of the two dynasties, he could afford it and let it go, and he knew how to do it was the most correct choice.

If he insisted on refusing to hand over his military power at this time, the emperor would only be more on guard against him, and he might end up in a terrible end.

But if he voluntarily handed over his military power in exchange for his son's safety, it would appear that the emperor was too unkind.

Now that he chooses to take his son to Ninggu Temple, the world will praise him for his fatherly heart, and when Xu An comes back, he will be able to change his face and start a new life.
