The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 144
From a distance, I saw the plaque of the General's Mansion, next to it was the Xu Mansion, Xu Liang was standing in front of the gate of the Xu Mansion, even though he couldn't see his expression clearly because of the distance, Xu Qingluo knew that the other side must be anxious of.

Compared with Xu Qingluo, who actually entered the palace, Xu Liang was more concerned about nervousness than her.

"Is there anything wrong with me?"

Xu Qingluo put down the curtain of the carriage and turned to look at Langcheng.

When he came back, Lang Sheng found a carriage for Xu Qingluo. After all, she had caught the cold in the lake, so there was no way she could get some wind.

"You are fine now."

Lang Sheng took a serious look at Xu Qingluo, and said.

He guessed what the girl was thinking, and stretched out his hand to hold Xu Qingluo's cold hand: "Princess Xinghe's words and deeds this time are too much, and nothing in the palace will be reported."

If the people above didn't want people outside the palace to know about the affairs in the palace, even if blood flowed like a river, they wouldn't leak a little bit.

In the depths of Lang Sheng's eyes was a gloomy look.

Xu Qingluo snorted and said, "That's right, if word of her embarrassing appearance spreads outside the palace, this princess will really become a joke in the capital."

The girl made no secret of her dislike for Princess Xinghe.

Looking at her like this, Lang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and rubbed the girl's dried hair. The soft and smooth touch in his palm made the man linger.

"Luo'er, you are back. Why is it taking so long? Is there something going on in the palace?"

As soon as Xu Liang saw the carriage stop in front of him, he immediately took a few steps forward. When he saw Xu Qing getting off the carriage, the anxiety on his face was reduced by half in an instant. Nothing was as important as the girl's safe return.

"You said you, why did you go to the palace alone while your father and I were asleep, and you didn't know to wake me up, because I didn't wake up, and I forgot to wake up when I fell asleep."

When Xu Liang discussed the prescription with Xu Qingluo last night, he had already decided to enter the palace with her. Although he had never seen the situation in the palace, he knew it must be dangerous. How could he have thought that he would oversleep today, originally he wanted to follow up later The imperial palace, but the imperial palace is obviously not that easy to enter. Xu Qingluo has already entered on behalf of the Xu family, so Xu Liang can't enter.

Fortunately, Xu Qingluo came back safely today, if there is something wrong, how can Xu Liang feel at ease.

Xu Qingluo grabbed Xu Liang's arm: "Father, you are getting older, and it is a natural reaction of your body to sleep more. My daughter just saw that you were too tired last night and wanted you to take a rest. If you want to blame me Blame me."

Xu Liang sighed: "Luo'er, your father and mother are the only daughters like you."

How could he not guess the reason why Xu Qingluo always took the initiative to deal with any accidents? His daughter had already grown up enough to protect the family.

Xu Liang's hand touched Xiang Xu Qingluo's hair.

Xu Qingluo subconsciously turned her head to the side, grabbed one of Langcheng's arms, and showed Xu Liangying a nice smile: "Father, even if you don't believe that I can protect myself, you should still believe in you My future uncle."

Xu Qingluo showed her two snow-white teeth with a smile: "From the time I went out to the time I entered the palace, Ah Cheng has been guarding me every step of the way. No one else can even touch a single hair of me."

"Ah Cheng is a first-rank general, protecting me is a trivial matter."

Xu Qingluo's voice was full of pride. Although he concealed a lot of words, he was not lying. When Lang Sheng was in Jinghu, he really protected her at all costs.

It seems that there is no danger to pass the test, but in fact, if the emperor had a change of mind at that time, both Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo would have despised the royal family and insulted the princess. The crime of treason.

"Although Ah Cheng is a first-rank general, there are many people who can't offend the palace. Luo'er, you should be more careful in the future so as not to cause trouble."

Xu Liang smiled gratefully at Lang Sheng, but at the same time glared at Xu Qingluo. He didn't really want to blame her, but just hoped that she would act more cautiously in the future. Who wouldn't want his daughter to not have the slightest worries and be happy and reckless? life, but he wants his daughter to live well.

First of all, you have to live, and you have to live peacefully, and then there is nothing else.

"Uncle, Luo'er is fine."

Lang Sheng couldn't help but defend Xu Qingluo: "She knows what she does, and what happened before was just forced by circumstances, not Luo'er."

"Sheng'er!"

A woman's voice came from behind, a little old and angry.

"Mother."

Lang Cheng turned his head and saw the woman standing at the gate of the General's Mansion supported by a girl in a yellow skirt. It was Lang's mother.

His face tightened, and he was subconsciously worried about what would happen when Langmu and Xu Qingluo met for the first time. Langmu's dislike for Xu Qingluo was too obvious.

The next moment the man held Xu Qingluo's hand tightly, and brought her together to bow to the woman: "Mother, this is Luo'er, the daughter of the Xu family, and the only woman my son said he would marry."

Lang Sheng never let go of the hand he held with Xu Qingluo. Although the first meeting happened unexpectedly, Lang Sheng decided to introduce Xu Qingluo's identity to Lang's mother first.

"Luo'er met Aunt Lang."

Xu Qingluo could tell Langmu didn't like him at a glance, but when he heard Langcheng's oath-like declaration to Langmu clearly, with a smile on his lips, he saluted Langmu again in the most standard posture. For Lang Sheng, she will give Lang's mother enough respect.

But Mother Lang didn't look at Xu Qingluo who was saluting to her, her eyes fell between the hands of Xu Qingluo and Lang Sheng, her face became more and more gloomy and ugly: "Cheng'er, you are a dignified first-rank general. , even if the people who come and go are not all Confucian scholars, they should not be some random people."

Xu Liang frowned as soon as these nonsense words came out, he didn't expect Lang Sheng's mother to have such a view of Xu Qingluo, he subconsciously began to worry about the future of his daughter and Lang Sheng.

He looked at Xu Qingluo. If his mother-in-law is dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, he has the deepest understanding. Because his mother is dissatisfied with Xu's mother, he and Yunniang have always had a knot for so many years. In Wuzhou City, he figured it out and understood that no matter how much he and Yun Niang are in love, the knot will always exist.

Xu Liang believed in Lang Sheng's sincerity towards his daughter, but he couldn't believe Lang Sheng, a mother who insulted Xu Qingluo in such a way.

If it is really impossible, he would rather not marry Lang Sheng, the most important son-in-law candidate. Marriage is never just a matter of two people, but also a matter of two families.

Xu Qingluo shook her head soothingly at Xu Liang, she believed in Lang Sheng.

After choosing Langsheng, she didn't feel that the future was all sweet, and she was already mentally prepared for the possible difficulties and obstacles in the future.

"Mother, my son said that Luo'er is the only wife that he has identified in his life. Except for Luo'er, the son will not marry anyone else. The son and Luo'er have already lived and retired together. Mother is looking at Luo'er. At the same time, you are looking down on your son."

Lang Sheng raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, his voice was not too intense, it was even calm and calm. It was this calm and calm tone that made it clearer that he was sober at the moment. These words were spoken by Lang Sheng in an extremely sober state .

"You, Cheng'er, you actually talked to your biological mother like this for an inexplicable woman, are you really?"

Lang's mother pointed at Lang Sheng and wanted to say that she was not filial.

Xu Qingluo took a step forward, stood in front of Langcheng, met Langmu's unsuspecting gaze, and paused every word: "General, as a first-rank general in the imperial court, there is more than one person staring at him behind his back, old madam, don't you care How do you feel about Luo'er, please think clearly before you speak, as the general's statement will be ruined, and the future of the Lang family will be delayed."

Xu Qingluo's eyes fell on Huang Yiyi who had been silent beside Lang's mother, and she raised her lips and smiled: "With the general here, there is this magnificent general's mansion. The selection of officials by the court is not only about the ability to choose, but also the virtues." .”

She was telling Langmu and Huang Yiyi that if they still wanted to enjoy the treatment of the old lord of the General's Mansion, if they still wished for the throne of the first-rank general's wife, it was Lang Sheng's reputation that needed to be protected first.

It's not to suppress the arrogance of Langmu and Huang Yiyi all at once, but to set a boundary between the two women at the beginning, how to deal with her according to their methods and abilities, but don't accidentally involve Langcheng body.

There are many people in the imperial court who want to catch Lang Sheng, especially His Majesty on the Nine Layers Throne, who is watching Lang Sheng anytime and anywhere.

A general in charge of the army is a greater threat than any other to a suspicious emperor.

Listening to Xu Qingluo's words and looking at Xu Qingluo's firm eyes, Langmu raised her brows and her face became even more ugly: "What do you mean by ruining Sheng'er's future? How dare you threaten the old man? What do you think you are?" thing."

As for the first-rank officials, in Mother Lang's opinion, no one but the emperor could dismiss her son, not even the emperor could easily dismiss Lang Cheng, who was a great hero who could lead the army at the border and repel those aliens.

The emperor wanted her son to guard the border.

Lang's mother was born in the countryside and didn't have much knowledge, so she recognized this point, but she didn't know that Lang Sheng's position seemed so stable, but in fact, there were many hidden dangers lurking in it.

"aunt."

Huang Yiyi gave Langmu a hand. Compared with Langmu, an old lady in the country, Huang Yiyi, who was particularly eye-catching about the position of the general's wife, communicated around the capital. Although she didn't meet any real ladies, she had more knowledge than Langmu. Quite a lot.

At least she knew one thing, what Xu Qingluo said was right, disobedience is indeed a crime that many people can criticize for officials, and many people will even lose their official titles because of their reputation for disobedience.

What she wants to marry is a first-rank general, and what she wants to be a grand general's wife. If Lang Sheng is no longer a general, what's the use of her fighting for it?

Thinking of this, Huang Yiyi gave Lang Sheng a loving look, and then looked at Mother Lang with uneasiness and worry in her eyes: "Auntie, let's go back, I think my cousin always knows, don't stay here While talking, it would be bad if I really caused trouble for my cousin. Yiyi also heard that there are some imperial censors in the capital who are watching all the officials. They like to impeach officials. Yiyi is the one who feels uneasy if it brings trouble, Aunt, if we have anything to say, it won't be too late to go to the mansion to talk."

Seeing that Mother Lang was moved by her, but still unwilling, Huang Yiyi lowered her voice and added the last sentence: "Auntie, everything is for my cousin's future, because such a woman delayed my cousin's hard work." The future is not worth it."

Lang's mother gave Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo a cold look: "Cheng'er, if you still recognize me as a mother, come back home now."

Lang Sheng tightened Xu Qingluo's hand, his heart was full of bitterness, for such an attitude towards Lang's mother.

Xu Qingluo withdrew his hand from the man's hand gently but firmly, and pushed the man's shoulder: "Okay, I'm back safely now, and you should go back to your house to be filial to your aunt, more in front of her." Give me a few words of kindness."

Seeing that Lang Sheng was still unwilling to leave her, Xu Qingluo wanted to grab her hand again, and said in a low voice.

Looking at the interaction between Xu Qingluo and Lang Sheng, Lang's mother became more and more contemptuous of Xu Qingluo, snorted, turned around and walked towards the general's mansion.

She should have a good talk with her son and tell him what kind of woman is worthy of being together, and what kind of woman can't get along with him at all.

In the past, I only listened to Huang Yiyi and Lang Sheng said that today was the first time I saw her. The moment Lang's mother saw Xu Qingluo's face, her impression of her fell to the bottom.

Xu Qingluo's face is too prosperous. In the eyes of people from Langmu's background, such an overly beautiful woman is not a blessing, but a curse. She grew up in the countryside, married, and had children. She spent most of her life in the countryside. Few, short-sightedness, but one of her crude insights and short-sightedness has been verified several times. She is too beautiful, even an amazingly beautiful woman. Her mind is never purely on men and families. Such a woman has a heavy mind, a big mind, and can't keep it.

Lang Sheng is a general on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, he is fighting with his life. He may not disappear on the battlefield one day. Rather than believing that Xu Qingluo is such an amazingly beautiful woman who makes her uneasy, it is better Believe in your own niece.

"I will definitely let my mother accept you."

Lang Sheng's eyes were full of firmness.

"What if she doesn't accept it?"

Xu Qingluo couldn't help asking, just to tease Langsheng.

"Then I will learn from my father-in-law."

The man lowered his head and brought his lips close to the girl's ear, lowering his voice.

Xu Qingluo stared dumbfounded at the back of the man striding away. This sentence really didn't seem like a man would say it, but when she thought of the man saying such a sentence for her, she laughed again, and the smile was very hearty Xu Liang's uneasy heart was even more uneasy when he laughed: "Luo'er, hey, why are you still laughing, between you and Ah Cheng?"

"Father, Ah Cheng told his mother that he recognized me, and I will say it in front of you now, that I will only recognize him in my life."

No matter how big the trouble behind Lang Sheng is, no matter how difficult it is to stay with him, Xu Qingluo will not back down in the slightest.

-

The once magnificent palace seemed to have encountered robbers. Broken porcelain and pottery were everywhere. Torn into pieces.

"I don't look at these ghost things. I'm a princess, a majestic princess. Why do I still have to look at these ghost things? Come on, come on? Get out of here, princess, I want to go out, come here!"

Princess Xinghe's clothes were disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and she was barefoot like a lunatic yelling among the broken decorations. The echoes echoed in the empty palace. Listening to it in the middle of the night made people feel a little scared.

"Where are all the people dead? Come on! Are you disobedient? Seeing this princess being reprimanded by the emperor, do you think that this princess can't deal with you? Let me tell you, when this princess goes out, this princess will take care of you." The princess must kill you, whoever dares to look down on me, I will kill whoever!"

Princess Xinghe murmured, her eyes became more and more crazy.

"Who are you going to kill?"

A cold female voice came from the open door of the main hall.

"Mother?"

Princess Xinghe was stunned at first, and then pleasantly surprised.

"Mother, mother, you must help me, you must help me clean up that damned woman, you don't know how hateful she is, she actually pulled me into the water, she almost killed me, mother, you have to help me! "

Princess Xinghe grabbed the queen's hand so hard that her nails dug into the queen's flesh.

The queen frowned, waved her hand fiercely, and opened Princess Xinghe: "Are you crazy enough?"

"Mother!"

Princess Xinghe fell to the ground, looking at her mother in disbelief, first her father, then her mother, they all treated her like this.

Her hands even accidentally pressed among the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, dripping blood spread from under her palms, so red, the same color as the blood of those palace maids.

"Mother, I am Xinghe, and I am your favorite daughter."

Princess Xinghe murmured.

"If you are crazy enough, just listen to Bengong, you have thought about it seriously in Changle Palace these few days, and Bengong will find two people to teach you the rules seriously. I hope you will at least know how to restrain yourself when you go out, so that your parents Your Majesty, don't wonder how this palace's stomach crawled out of something like you."

The queen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Princess Xinghe's heart fiercely, she raised her head blankly, and looked at this strange looking mother queen with a cold face: "Mother queen, I am your daughter. "

How can you be so indifferent to me, when I returned to the palace, you were very kind to me.
"It would be great if I had a second daughter!"

The empress no longer concealed the evil in her eyes: "You used to act recklessly, and my palace, which was flamboyant and vicious, was disliked by His Majesty and impeached by officials in the court. I didn't expect that you would still be so hopeless after ten years, and you still don't know how to repent. If you restrain yourself a little, you can help your elder brother a little bit now, but Bengong took you back, not only did you not help Heng'er, but also caused him to be reprimanded by your father, and even the court officials listened When the wind changed direction, you said how can I still love you, my only daughter!"

The queen looked down at Princess Xinghe who fell to the ground: "It's not enough to succeed, it's more than failure."

Princess Xinghe slowly curled up her fists, her eye sockets were red, at that moment she wanted to shout, to grab the broken porcelain pieces under her palm and slit the throat of this woman who called herself Queen Mother, listening Watching the other party scream, listening to the other party's wailing, watching the other party's blood flow out to death.

The queen felt a little cold, and she took another look at her daughter who had fallen to the ground. Looking at the blood dripping from her hands, her expression gradually eased. She even knelt down and held Princess Xinghe's arm : "Xinghe, my daughter, as you said, I only have your daughter and your brother's son, and I don't want to treat you like this, but you have to think clearly, I am the queen now, Your elder brother is now the prince, so you can become the most honorable princess in the palace, if this palace is not the queen, if your elder brother is not the prince, what are you?"

The queen looked at Princess Xinghe's blank eyes, she was dumbfounded, and she was even more annoyed in her heart. This daughter is not only vicious, but also an idiot.

Her other hand gently caressed Princess Xinghe's hair, helping her to comb some messy hair by referring to it, combing it little by little, the queen looked at Princess Xinghe gently: "You are wrong Now, it’s not because of acting recklessly, but because you shouldn’t be acting recklessly when this Palace and your elder brother’s position are still uncertain.”

"Then, how can the seats of the queen mother and elder brother be stabilized?"

Princess Xinghe asked when she heard her own voice.

"Good boy, that's what you should ask."

The queen's smile became more and more sincere: "As long as you learn the proper rules and help the queen mother and your brother wholeheartedly, you will be the real and honorable first princess in the future."

The queen put her lips close to Princess Xinghe's ear: "Don't you want to make things difficult for Mrs. Xu and Lang Sheng? The queen mother can help you think of a way."

-

The queen paced out of the hall, and said coldly to the two palace servants at the door: "Look at the princess carefully, she is thinking carefully inside, remember?"

"His Royal Highness is reflecting in the hall, servants and servants will remember."

"Mother, how are things going?"

The prince hastily stopped the queen, with a look of anxiety on his face.

The queen looked at her son's anxious look, and was a little worried: "How can you be so reckless? You are just a woman. It is really a disaster to let you change color like this before you get it."

"Queen mother, hehe, you are wrong. She is not only a disaster, but also a treasure. Today, for the sake of the Xu family, he even dared to attack those servants of his sister in the palace, in front of the emperor. It is also tough, which shows that the Xu family is really the weak point of Lang Sheng, the appearance of the Xu family is tempting, but what is more tempting is the [-] troops at the border that are implicated behind the Xu family."

The prince narrowed his eyes and said so.

The queen glanced at him, she knew her son's temperament very well, and she didn't want to expose his intentions, although Xu's appearance was a disaster, but the strength in Lang Sheng's hands was not fake: "Your sister has already I agree, and after a few more days of sharpening her temperament, I can start."

"It's just that you are sure that if you accept the Xu family, Lang Sheng will really listen to you, and won't hate you instead?"

The queen was still a little worried.

"Mother, that Langcheng has a deep-rooted affection for the Xu family. As a woman, whoever takes her body, she belongs to that person. When the son-in-law takes over the Xu family, Lang Sheng will throw the mouse at him no matter how unwilling he is. For Xu's sake, he obeyed his son's advice."

"That's good, it's just a pity for your sister."

"Xinghe has provoked too many things recently. Even if some servants in the palace died too much, those old officials in the court heard the news, and my palace was implicated. She was able to make some sacrifices for my palace. an honor."

There was disapproval in the prince's eyes.
