The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 185

When he returned to Zheng’s house, Zheng Shu still had redness and swelling on his face even after applying the medicine. Aunt Qiu and Zheng Tong were frightened. They both had great expectations for Zheng Shu’s visit to the palace this time. I was fine when I didn’t want to go, but came back with injuries.

Aunt Qiu hopes that her daughter will have great blessings. She can’t help her family education. The only thing she can rely on is this extraordinary appearance. If this is also broken, Aunt Qiu didn’t even have time to cry.

Xiao Han didn’t care about the irritated gazes of Aunt Qiu and Uncle Zheng, and said with a slight smile, “The road in the palace is not peaceful. The cousin and the county lord of Rong’an accidentally fell when they went to the garden to enjoy the flowers, and the imperial concubine asked the imperial doctor. I’ve seen it, and I need to apply some medicine to cultivate for a while.”

When I heard that the slapped daughter was the maid beside the county lord of Rong’an, even Concubine Shu did not say anything to let it go. Aunt Qiu’s face changed. She was Nanning Hou’s beloved daughter, and her mother was the clan princess. Even if she was bullied, the Zheng family didn’t dare to complain, so she could only swallow in her stomach.

“She said I was Hu Meizi, seduce the fifth prince.” Zheng Shu cried and said to her mother when she was in private. When she was beaten, there were palace people by the side, but no one spoke for her, leaving the county lord Rong’an. Invert black and white.

Seeing her daughter’s pitiful appearance, Aunt Qiu felt distressed. She regretted that she let her daughter go into the palace with Yi Xian. The palace was full of nobles. With Zheng Shu’s birth, she was not allowed to step on her foot. She should have wanted it, but was blinded by greed.

“But I saw His Royal Highness the Five Princes in the palace.” Zheng Shu recalled the look of the five princes looking at her in the palace today, which was clearly stunning.

His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince obviously liked her, and the fierce and arrogant woman of County Lord Rong’an was jealous that she was favored by the Fifth Prince, so she deliberately insulted her in private. If you let His Highness know, she would definitely not have a good impression of her.

Seeing her daughter’s shy expression on her face, Auntie Qiu couldn’t help being dilemma. She was afraid that her daughter would be bullied, and she didn’t want to let go of such a good opportunity.

In the Hanzhi courtyard, Xiao Han sent out all his servants, leaving only Qingluo by his side.

What happened to Zheng Shu also scared her pale. Even if she had reminded the young lady to guard against the Rong’an county host, she never thought that the cousin who was arrogant in the house in the past was directly slapped by Feng Luo’s slapped cousin. , Still in the palace of the imperial concubine, the domineering atmosphere is evident. Qingluo didn’t even gloat for misfortune, only worried that the next one would be her own lady.

With her weak body like this, if she was bullied, she would lose half of her life.

Listening to her worry, Xiao Han chuckled lightly, “Don’t worry, your lady is smart and I won’t be bullied.”

Whoever dares to bully her, she must return one by one, without missing anyone.

Qing Luo hesitated, “My uncle, will they be the masters for Miss Shu?” In the past, she didn’t have a good face to Zheng Shu. She was on her side, but her heart and eyes were not bad, and her beautiful face and moon appearance were almost hurt. It was pitiful to look at it, and Rong’an County Lord’s domineering behavior was unreasonable.

Xiao Han said indifferently, “Probably not, Nanning Hou is a nobleman with real power in the court, how can the Zheng family be able to provoke it.” These people in the Zheng family are also soft and afraid of hard temperament, I am afraid that they will be even later. Will not mention it.

Qingluo sympathized with Zheng Shu a little bit in his heart, but ignored the lady’s changes. Before, she had never heard the lady mention anything about the court, and the general and several sons would also avoid the lady and treat her as a flower in the greenhouse. The same pampered.

But they didn’t expect that once the asylum was lost one day, the sword shadows outside would not show mercy to their daughter and sister at all.

Under the lamp, Xiao Han turned over some handwritten notes left by his original father and brother. The property of the Yi family was collected in the Zheng mansion, but many personal relics of his father and brother were treasured by Yi Xia.

Among them, the most valuable is the military book of his father Yi Yunzhang. In the eyes of some people, it is more important than the wealth of the Yi family.

Different from the bravery of the Yi family’s grandfather, Yi Yunzhang is more like a Confucian general. According to outsiders’ evaluations, Yi’s father is proficient in both Wentao and martial arts. Even if he is not in the military, he can still achieve success in the imperial examination and official career, so he leads the army. Since the war, he has been good at strategy and training, and he will win every battle. He has accumulated a lot of fame for the Yi family.

In addition, Xiao Han could find some traces of the old friends from their handwritten notes.

Before entering the palace this time, Xiao Han asked the maid Qingluo to inquire about the five princes returning to Beijing. Qingluo only acted as a young lady who was very positive about her future husband and the five princes, and Xiao Han did not explain. What, let others think so will not doubt anything.

The thing about the fifth prince Zhao Chengwei is a hot spot in Beijing, ranging from gossip to the prince.

And Xiao Han also connected some of the news with Zhao Chengwei’s work for the military supervision half a year ago. Looking at the names that appeared on the handwritten notes, Xiao Han was thoughtful.

…

Concubine Shu and the five princes discussed privately that day, and several generals from the former Yi family were also among the officials who returned to Beijing to report on their duties. Among them was the Huang family.

Huang Yan is still capable of being a man. He has been in the army for nearly 20 years. He has been in the army from a small soldier to an officer. He is not uninspiring, but he was born in a humble beginning. There is only a second-class mansion in Beijing, and the location is not good. Fortunately, there were not many family members who came back to Beijing to report on work, so there was more than enough to live.

He has just returned from the Ministry of War. Whether he will continue to station troops on the border or Dianjingshi’s soldiers has not yet reached a conclusion, and he is also a little anxious. As soon as I entered the house, I saw a few large boxes in the room, and my wife couldn’t stop the smile on her face. When she saw him, she greeted Huang Yan and told Huang Yan that these were all rewarded by Concubine Shu.

Huang Yan was still full of doubts, “Why did the imperial concubine suddenly reward so many things?”

All the capital knows who the concubine Shu and the five princes are. A harem lord and a future prince are favored by His Majesty, even if they can get a little relationship with them, it is a blessing. And just a few days after their family came back, they received such a heavy reward from the imperial concubine. Madam Huang felt very face-conscious, and it was an enviable thing to spread it out.

Huang Yan frowned upon hearing this, “Don’t talk nonsense about this, I’m just a small sideman.”

Mrs. Huang didn’t care, “What’s the matter? I saw it when I was in Liangzhou. The fifth prince wanted to win you over.”

This is also her master’s ability, isn’t it? Even with her, I had the honor to meet the prince several times.

The five princes are indeed gentle and amiable, but what the five princes want is his surrender. Since the death of General Yi, he has been valued by his seniority and the trust of General Yi in the past, and his status in the army has also become important.

“I’ve inquired about it. Before the fifth prince’s wedding, the mansion must have one or two concubine concubines. Our family Zhier had a good birth. If you are willing to work harder, you may not be able to win a concubine. Bit.”

Mrs. Huang’s meaning couldn’t be more obvious, it was already directed at Conglong’s nepotism with his relatives.

“The concubine that your majesty gave to the five princes is the only young girl of General Yi. I was brought up by General Yi. The general is so kind to me and never treated me ill. If I do such a thing, wouldn’t I be pierced in the backbone? “Huang Yan frowned, as if struggling inside.

The Yi family is full of loyalty, and it has been only three years since his death. As a former ministry, he could not take care of the Yi family’s orphans for one or two years. He changed his course and joined the prince’s family. He even sent his daughter to the side room and the future five prince concubine Yi family. The girl is vying for favor, just thinking about it makes people panic.

Mrs. Huang became anxious when she heard this, “The imperial concubine and your majesty are fancying you. It is your blessing. Good birds choose trees to live in. Now everyone wants to drill the doorway of the imperial concubine and five princes. You are so pedantic and straightforward. do what.”

“People are not for themselves, and the heavens are destroyed. Don’t you want to read the favor of the Yi family for a lifetime? You don’t want to think about your career, our daughter’s future prosperity and wealth.” Mrs. Huang said endlessly, “If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop. The imperial concubine is not only rewarded by our family, but the vice general Jiang and the forest department made their daughters black and thin. Even with this thought, the imperial concubine and empress do not appreciate it. Can our daughter fly on the branch to become a phoenix? , But just before you think.”

If her daughter enters the Fifth Prince’s Mansion, their family will definitely be able to stay in the capital, and there will be no need to go back to the border to suffer the wind and sand.

Everyone is selfish. If Yi Xia is a man, they will wait for him to grow up to rejuvenate the general’s mansion and restore the glory of the family, so as to restore their reputation for loyalty.

But now one side is the old love of the deceased benefactor, and the other side is the glorious future of his family. If the will is not as strong as Huang Yan, it is easy to lean towards the latter, and finally made up his mind.

…

Half a month later, the palace made a decree to give Huang Zhi, daughter of Dingyuan General Huang Yan, and Chen Yunzi, daughter of Hanlin Chen Xu, as the five princes’ side concubines, and choose a day to enter the palace. In addition, the Ministry of Defense has issued a transfer order, Dingyuan General Huang Yan stayed in Beijing to be stationed in the military guard of the Beijing division, and his rank was promoted to half rank.

His Majesty’s obvious preference for adding support to the fifth prince makes many people think that the fifth prince Zhao Chengwei is very likely to inherit the throne.

In the Hanzhiyuan, Xiao Han raised his eyes slightly when he heard the news, and then continued to write her letters.
