Riding the Pheonix Chapter 280: An Wang
One after another the prey fell to the ground under the bow and arrow.
Xiaotong, who was also dressed in riding attire, clapped her hands happily: "Young Master is great!"
Yang Shu lazily threw the long bow to Ah Xuan and said, "It's either a stupid rabbit or a stupid roe deer. It's not interesting at all. Just fight."
The generals of the family were accustomed to this young master's character, so they left a few guards behind and spread out to chase the prey.
"Awan, I want to drink tea!"
So, the guards laid out felt blankets on the spot, set up cushions, and moved down the stove.
Yang Shu said again: "I'm a little hungry. Let's roast a rabbit."
Xiaotong raised her hands happily: "I'll do it, I'll do it! I just brought the sauce!"
The guards who had just finished their work went to pick up prey and went to the stream to skin and clean it.
Xiaotong followed, leaving only Ah Xuan to guard and Ah Wan to make tea.
Yang Shu leaned on the cushion and whispered: "My Majesty wants me to make an engagement this time. Do you think which family has he chosen?"
Ah Wan raised her head and glanced at him, and said with a bit of disgust: "It must be the Lu family. Madam Prince asked about it several times, and last time she followed Madam Hou into the palace. Humph! I didn't even look at her family. What kind of stuff is it? I want to give it to the young master."
Yang Shu smiled and said: "How can the Lu family like me? My eldest sister-in-law is just a younger sister of the right age, and she won't let her go. I'm afraid it's a relative of hers. For the sake of money, she might I'm willing to marry you." As he said that, he touched his chin, "Maybe it's the Liang family, her aunt and cousin."
Ah Wan's eyebrows were raised: "From top to bottom, there is no official in the Liang family. How dare you think of the young master while relying on a fifth-grade captain to eat and wait for death?"
Yang Shu smiled and said: "In her eyes, I am just a bastard. I am not qualified to live in Bolinghou Mansion. It would be good if a fifth-grade captain is willing to marry me. Well, I might still think that it is Her cousin is generous and doesn’t care about my wife’s life!”
A Xuan thought for a while and said: "This is really something that Mrs. Shizi can do. Moreover, she frequently returned to her parents' home a while ago and had several contacts with the Liang family."
Yang Shu touched his palm: "Then there is no need to run away."
A Xuan added: "But the concubine's wife should be unwilling. Even if she doesn't care about her family status, the Liang family's family tradition is outrageous. I feel that the concubine may want to ask the young master to marry the Pei family."
The Pei family is the concubine’s natal family and Yang Shu’s maternal family.
When it comes to family status, the Pei family is not low. A famous family that has lasted for hundreds of years is, in some respects, even more dignified than the royal family. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu personally asked for the marriage of Pei's daughter for his eldest grandson.
Nowadays, the Pei family also has many nephews and nephews serving as officials in the court, and their reputation is still as good as before. But their attitudes towards Concubine Pei and Yang Shu were very subtle.
The emperor wanted to make Concubine Pei his queen several times, but the Pei family all pretended to be deaf and dumb. They were not very warm to Yang Shu, their grandson, and had little contact with her.
Ah Wan said: "It would be more or less the same if it were the Pei family."
Yang Shu sneered: "Unfortunately, this is impossible."
"Why?" Ah Wan was puzzled.
"Because the Holy Spirit has different ideas from the imperial concubine this time." His eyes darkened, "I think he wants to make Pei's daughter the crown princess."
Yang Shu felt that he was really blind before. He always felt that the emperor treated him better than the prince, but he never thought about the difference.
He was strict with the prince, and it was all business. Isn't it just to cultivate the prince's ability to govern the country? Look at the officials in the East Palace. Which one is not talented? When it comes to choosing a concubine, it is natural to leave the best for the prince.
What about him? He is usually very doted on, asking him to pick out all the delicious and fun things first, and protecting him in every possible way no matter what he does. Such indulgence is nothing but flattery.
Now that he and the prince are both married, the difference can be seen at a glance.
He is really not of the emperor's blood.
This conclusion made him both happy and sad.
A Xuan said calmly: "It's a pity that the prince likes the Lu family and has failed the emperor's hard work."
Yang Shu doesn't want to mention that idiot. Whoever he marries has nothing to do with him. What he is concerned about now is how to stir up pornography.
After pondering for a while, Yang Shu said: "Go and check the location of King An."
Prince An is the title given to the third prince. He is seventeen this year. In addition to choosing a step-concubine for the prince, he also has to settle his marriage.
A Xuan was startled and lowered his voice: "Master! You can't offend Prince An anymore."
The emperor has three adult princes, and the prince has offended them in the early years. King Xin and the prince share their anger. King An had a lot of friction when they were young because they were not much different in age. It was just that Yang Shu later observed his filial piety and stayed at home, and then took over the Imperial City Department. The two had less contact and the relationship eased.
In Ah Xuan's view, easing the relationship with the prince is troublesome enough. If he still offends Prince An, will he be able to survive in the future?
Yang Shu said coldly: "If you want to offend me and not make me feel better, then everyone will have a hard time together!"
……
The girls' laughter echoed in the wilderness, and the light fell at the end. They were free to listen to their words.
"Quick, quick, surround us over there!"
"Over there, don't let me run away!"
"Oh, let's spread out, it's hard to chase."
"That's just mine, don't steal it!"
Mingwei suddenly felt something and turned to look in one direction.
A plump deer emerged from the bushes and ran into their circle stupidly.
Wei Xiaoan cheered: "Deer! I want to shoot it!"
Fang Jinping was not to be outdone: "I want it too!"
"Whoever shoots it is his."
"Okay! Who is afraid of whom!"
The two girls chased her on horseback, and ran away after a while.
Soon, Wei Xiaoan shouted, and there was a "plop" sound of falling to the ground.
The Wei family generals were frightened and hurriedly chased after him.
Ming Wei and Sun Wei also rode over.
"Miss!"
"What are you doing?"
"This is my deer!"
"Presumptuous, this is His Royal Highness Prince An!"
When Mingwei arrived, what he saw was Wei Xiaoan who was being helped up by the maid, and the guards who used to have bright armor.
She went to see Wei Xiaoan first and was relieved when she saw that she was rubbing her leg ~IndoMTL.com~ and there was no expression of great pain on her face.
Looking at the other party again, the person surrounded by guards was a young man wearing a riding costume and a crown.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, with a delicate face and a few freckles on her cheeks, she still looks childish.
The expression is a bit arrogant, but not excessive.
Ming Wei frowned.
Prince An, the third prince, the future Emperor Ling, was the initiator of the ruin of the Northern Qi Dynasty!
When she came to the capital, she did not think about meeting King An. Anyway, this person was removed from the list of emperors by her. When I meet him now, I don't think there's anything special about him.
Yes, he is just an ordinary prince now. His mother's identity was not revealed, and he was adopted by Concubine Xian in his early years. Later, Concubine Xian passed away, and he became even more inconspicuous.
With the Crown Prince and King Xin here, who would care about him, a free king who wants nothing? However, it was he who had the last laugh.
