First Lady of the Crown Prince

 Chapter 909 Xiao Ji who needs to be beaten (1st update)

 Imperial palace, royal study.

 Her Majesty, the newly crowned empress, is busy with state affairs.

Shangguan Yan sat on a chair and looked at the pile of memorials in front of him, which was as big as two heads.

"Is it so tiring to be a king...I suddenly feel a little regretful..."

Shangguan Yan gritted his teeth and picked up a memorial.

One emperor and one courtier. The famous person in the imperial study room was originally Zhang Dequan. Now Zhang Dequan followed the Supreme Emperor to the Taiyi Palace. Shangguan Yan promoted an **** named Wu Sixi.

Wu Sixi came in with a bowl of boiled lotus seed soup and came to Shangguan Yan with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have been approving the papers for an hour, please take a rest."

Shangguan Yan placed the brush on the pen holder and leaned back on the chair tiredly: "I have been approving it for an hour, but I haven't seen many mistakes."

Wu Sixi smiled: "Your Majesty has already approved a lot. Besides, you have just ascended the throne, and the civil and military officials of the whole court are pointing at you. You must take care of your dragon body."

Shangguan Yan looked at the lotus seed soup he handed over. Wu Sixi understood, moved the folding bag in front of her, and carefully placed the lotus seed soup in her hand.

Shangguan Yan took a spoonful and was about to drink it when he remembered something and asked, "Has the wedding party set off?"

"Let's go." Wu Sixi said, "We should have left Shengdu by now."

Shangguan Yan sighed.

Wu Sixi smiled but stopped talking.

Shangguan Yan noticed something strange about him and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Ah..." Wu Sixi said with a smile, "The twenty princes who came as tribute from the Jin State... are still arranged in Chuxiu Palace. I don't know how your Majesty plans to arrange them."

 “I haven’t arranged any arrangements for them either…” Shangguan Yan muttered in a low voice, what’s wrong with Jin’s gift? She had to give twenty beautiful men. How could she fill her harem? Her son is so old!

She said sternly: "Maybe all of these people are spies from the Jin Kingdom. You can make your own arrangements and don't let them starve to death."

 “Yes.” Wu Sixi responded with a smile.

He secretly regretted that those men were really handsome. Now that the princess has become the empress, it is reasonable to expand the harem.

 “Your Majesty, Mr. Yanshan wishes to see you.”

 The little eunuch's report came from outside the door.

Shangguan Yan put down the spoon: "Xuan."

Wu Sixi looked at the door, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "Xuan - Mr. Yanshan comes to see you -"

Shangguan Yan glanced at him speechlessly.

Wu Sixi turned around and smiled: "This is my first time, slave."

 It’s a great time to be able to announce people.

 Jun Yanshan entered the imperial study and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty."

Shangguan Yan asked: "Why did the emperor come here today?"

 Jun Yanshan looked at both sides.

 “You guys step back,” Shangguan Yan said.

 “Yes!” Wu Sixi and the eunuchs and maids in the royal study retreated respectfully.

Shangguan Yan saw Mr. Yanshan staring at her bowl, so she pushed the bowl over: "Do you want to eat the lotus seed soup? I didn't move."

Jun Yanshan came to the desk and sat down. He brought the lotus seed soup over and an empty tea cup from the side.

He smiled faintly and said, "To be honest, I am here to say goodbye to His Majesty today."

Shangguan Yan asked: "Are you leaving again?"

Yanshan Jun smiled slightly and said, "I don't have anything to do, Shengdu. I want to take Xiaoxue out for a walk."

Shangguan Yan murmured secretly: "One and two are gone..."

Lord Yanshan paused and said pleasantly: "In addition, I am also here to ask Your Majesty to take back my royal status."

Shangguan Yan looked at him strangely: "Why do you want to take it back? I said you will not pursue the matter of hiding your troops secretly."

"That's not the reason." He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I am not originally from the Yan royal family, but the child of my mother and the Turks."

 “I know.” Shangguan Yan said.

She looked at him for a moment. After experiencing so many life and death situations, her eyes had long lost the innocence and youthfulness of youth, and instead had the perseverance and perseverance of a superior person.

The only thing that remains constant is that she has no intention of beating around the bush when it comes to people she trusts enough.

Yanshan Jun moved his eyes away, looked at the scenery outside the window, and sighed helplessly: "In addition, the emperor brother and I are not half-brothers. The emperor brother is the child that the mother brought from Liu Meiren, who was born that year. After giving birth to a baby girl, Liu Meiren gave birth to a prince. In order to consolidate the throne, the queen mother and Liu Meiren exchanged each other's flesh and blood. Liu Meiren was not blessed and died of illness within a few years. Don't worry, it was not the mother who killed her, otherwise the emperor's brother would not He will be so filial to his mother."

Shangguan Yan was surprised: "There is such a thing...Does he know?"

 Jun Yanshan looked at her again: "Brother, you mean? He should know that Princess Anle is the mother's flesh and blood."

Shangguan Yan recalled: "No wonder he was so close to Aunt Anle and asked me to be filial to her when I grew up."

Lord Yanshan said: "Princess Anle's fiefdom is in Nanjun. It is the richest fiefdom besides your fiefdom back then."

Shangguan Yan looked at him doubtfully: "Why did you suddenly tell me this?"

Lord Yanshan smiled and said, "How could you agree to take back my royal status if I didn't tell you?"

Shangguan Yan said resentfully: "You don't want to be my uncle so much?"

Jun Yanshan spread his hands and sighed: "I have been bullied by you since I was a child. It's not interesting for this uncle to do anything."

Shangguan Yan whispered: "I didn't mean it...who told you to be so unbeatable..."

 “Okay.” Mr. Yanshan said.

 “What’s better?” Shangguan Yan was stunned.

Yanshan Jun put the lotus seed soup back in front of her: "You like to eat lotus seed soup, but you never eat lotus seeds."

Shangguan Yan stared blankly at the lotus seeds he picked in the empty cup: "Do I still have this problem?"

  She was very careful about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she had never paid attention to such details. Wu Sixi asked her what she wanted to eat, and she casually said lotus seed soup.

 But when the lotus seed soup was served, she refused to eat it.

 So it turned out that you disliked the lotus seeds inside?

Mr. Yanshan stood up with a smile: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so I'll leave first."

Shangguan Yan nodded.

Jun Yanshan turned around and walked out of the imperial study. After everyone left, his steps suddenly stopped: "Shangguan Yan, next time we meet again, I will no longer be your imperial uncle."

 …

 The procession of seeing off the bride left Shengdu in a mighty manner.

 Xuanyuan Qi doesn't like riding in a carriage, he rides a horse.

Liao Chen also rode with him.

 Father and son rarely enjoyed the leisure time after their reunion.

The Gu family's grandparents and Tang Yueshan, who originally wanted to ride horses, had to sit in a carriage at this time.

Tang Yueshan had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and a big bag on his head. His left arm was wrapped in a bandage and hung around his neck. There was a pink Page Band-Aid on his face, and a ball of cotton was blocked in his left nostril.

 It can be said to be very miserable.

He said aggrievedly: "I just told the truth, and you beat me up... So many people joined forces to bully me... I don't have martial ethics..."

Gu Chengfeng snorted coldly: "You deserve it! Hiss—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gasped in pain.

 His situation is no better than that of Tang Yueshan.

After his grandfather learned that he was the big thief Feishuang, he repaired him severely. He was also covered in paint and bandages.

Gu Changqing was different. He was neither beaten nor punished, but his faith collapsed. He sat blankly on the carriage, like a puppet that had lost his soul.

The old Marquis glared at the three of them with hatred, and silently covered the gauze on his forehead.

He was also injured. He was too embarrassed. He was in a hurry to leave the scene and slipped and fell. He hit his forehead on the threshold and his head almost split open on the spot.

 In the whole thing, Gu Jiao was probably the only one who was not embarrassed.

She was not affected by the falling horse at all, and she sat leisurely in the carriage, counting the gold that Duke An Guo gave her.

“Are these all mine?” She held a small box and looked at the nine small boxes on the floor.

 Gong An Guo smiled fondly: "Well, it's all yours."

 Gu Jiao is very happy!

She counted the gold attentively, and Duke An Guo looked at her tenderly. The afternoon sun shone in through the open window, and the carriage was filled with tranquility and beauty.

 …

 The road after the beginning of spring is easier to walk than in the dead of winter.

 After a month of long journey, the group finally arrived at the capital of Zhao Kingdom.

This is not just an ordinary marriage, but also the first marriage between the two countries. Xuanyuan Qi, An Guogong, and Liao Chen all went to Zhao State as envoys of Yan State.

Their whereabouts along the way were rushed to the palace by various inns. Emperor Zhao was very excited. This was Yan's first visit. He took it very seriously. He ordered people to go out of the city early to welcome them and set up a reception banquet in the palace.

When the news reached Zhuque Street, Princess Xinyang was practicing calligraphy with Shangguan Qing in the yard.

Shangguan Qing finally realized how harsh his mother was.

 Ten copybooks a day, and no meals until practice is completed.

Hour Xuanping was entertaining his daughter in the yard.

Little Yiyi is five months old. She just learned to roll over a few days ago. She is currently lying on the big bamboo bed, being made to giggle by her father.

"What did you say? The envoy from the Yan Kingdom has arrived? Then, the people from the Duke's Mansion have also arrived?" Princess Xinyang looked at the guard reporting to her at the door. She knew that Gu Jiao lived in the Duke's Mansion.

The guard handed over his hand and said, "To tell you what to say to the princess, Duke An Guo and the young master are here, and so is Shili Hongzhuang."

Princess Xinyang was stunned: "What young master... Shili Hongzhuang?"

The guard also just got the news from the inn. He glanced at Marquis Xuanping who was looking at him as if nothing had happened, and said bravely: "It is said... that the Marquis sent someone to propose marriage to the young master of An Guo Gongfu, and the Duke agreed to this. I brought my son over to marry the young Marquis. Now... now it has spread throughout the capital, saying that the young Marquis is going to marry a man..."

Princess Xinyang looked at Marquis Xuanping, and the brush in her hand broke with a snap: "Xiao Ji!!"
