Shangguan Shu pretended not to hear Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts.
The children were too busy being excited to notice.
When the children heard that Wei Fu was back, they were extremely happy. Shangguan Qingwan said excitedly, "Uncle Wei Fu is finally back!"
Shangguan Qiyou asked curiously, "Who is Uncle Wei Fu?"
Shangguan Bailin replied, "Uncle Wei Fu is my mother's cousin. He was the awe-inspiring Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition of the Great Chu, commanding three hundred thousand troops. This time, he led an expedition to Tubo and won a resounding victory. When he returned to the capital, he said that he had passed through the Dayuezhi and, in the process, had wiped out the remaining Xiongnu."
Shangguan Chengjing asked doubtfully, "Didn't the Xiongnu... get destroyed by... Daddy?"
Shangguan Bailin: "It's true that the country was destroyed, but suddenly a Xiongnu king's illegitimate son appeared among the people, calling himself the Eighth Prince. He raised the royal flag and gathered many Xiongnu remnants, intending to restore the country."
Shangguan Qingwan frowned, "What is the relationship between this Eighth Prince and Hu Yanxue?"
Shangguan Bailin knew that Shangguan Qingwan wanted to ask whether this so-called eighth prince was the son of the previous Xiongnu king or the son of the successor Xiongnu king.
So he replied: "He should be Hu Yanxue's brother and Zhao Ziyin's uncle!"
Shangguan Qiyou, still unaware of the royal secrets, was dumbfounded when he heard this. "Second brother, last time you told me that Zhao Ziyin and Hu Yanxue weren't siblings? How come her brother is her uncle?"
Shangguan Bailin glanced furtively at Shangguan Shu, then called the brothers and sisters over to him, leaning forward and whispering, "They, the Xiongnu, are not like us Central Plains people. They don't have the custom of 'marrying the father's wife after his death, and marrying the brother's wife after his death.' That's why Aunt Huai'an married the previous Xiongnu king and later became his son's concubine!"
"Huyanxue is the daughter of the former Xiongnu king, and Zhao Ziyin is the grandson of the former Xiongnu king!"
Shangguan Qiyou looked at Shangguan Bailin with admiration, "Second brother, you know a lot..."
Shangguan Bailin was usually modest, but he couldn't help but feel complacent when he saw his younger brother praising him. He wanted his younger brother to admire him even more. "Of course, I, your second elder brother, am well-versed in history and current affairs!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the carriage is ready. I will take you to the palace!"
The thought of leaving the Zhenguo Mansion where they had grown up filled their hearts with reluctance. Shangguan Qingwan said goodbye to Shangguan Shu, "Daddy, we are leaving... You must come visit us often..."
Shangguan Shu nodded heavily.
I feel mixed emotions.
Shangguan Chengjing, Shangguan Bailin, and Shangguan Qiyou also came forward to pay their respects and bid farewell.
Shangguan Qiyou then waved to Shangguan Qingyue, "Yuer, let's go..."
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Qingyue pouted and waved at them with tears in her eyes, "You guys go find mother first. Yue'er won't go for the time being..."
[Yue'er wants to help mom here with daddy. Yue'er will take good care of Jiji! ]
Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingyue sniffed, afraid that she would really cry, she turned her head and huddled in Shangguan Shu's shoulder, leaving the back of her head to the children.
The kids were immediately shocked.
How could they bear to leave behind their most beloved little sister?
Shangguan Qiyou was the first to say angrily: "If my sister doesn't leave, then I won't leave either!"
Shangguan Bailin: "That's right!"
Shangguan Qingwan said in embarrassment: "If we don't leave, what will happen to mother?"
The children were in trouble again.
Shangguan Shu sighed, glanced at the ill-intentioned little scoundrel in his arms, and advised: "Go find your mother first, and Daddy will go back and persuade Yue'er..."
Hearing this, the children looked at each other and nodded reluctantly.
Then he got in the carriage and left.
Watched the carriage leave.
Shangguan Shu's indifferent expression suddenly dimmed, and his tall figure standing at the door looked particularly desolate.
Some things seem easy when you just think about them, but once you actually experience them, you find that it is not the case at all.
He originally wanted to rebel for Zhao Yao and take revenge on Zhao Ying...
But their children are innocent...
Just being separated from them felt like pieces of his heart were being cut out.
Not to mention Zhao Ying...
Shangguan Shu suddenly realized that he did not blame Zhao Ying or hate Zhao Ying as much as he had imagined. At least at this moment, he regretted it deeply.
If it weren't for Zhao Ying's purse and her instructions, he really didn't know what crazy thing he would do now.
Shangguan Shu took a deep breath, and the cold air that filled his stuffy chest made his breathing a little smoother.
He suddenly felt fortunate that his little Yue'er did not leave and did not leave him alone, even though the girl had ulterior motives.
Shangguan Shu gently stroked the back of Shangguan Qingyue's head and said softly, "Yue'er, Daddy will take you to dinner."
Shangguan Qingyue was in low spirits, his chin resting on his father's shoulder, his mouth flat as a duckling's.
"Even if you give me a feast right now, it won't make up for the psychological trauma of not being able to see my mother..."
Shangguan Shu smiled, "What a pity! Daddy asked the kitchen to roast a fresh lamb leg. It's a lamb leg that's only one month old!"
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up.
Shangguan Shu continued, "Daddy knows Yue'er misses mommy, but how can she have the energy to miss you when she's hungry? Eat first, then miss her."
[That makes sense...]
Shangguan Qingyue's little hands grasped his father's clothes, his mouth moving around but no sound came out, "Then Daddy, let's go!"
"Um!"
The father and daughter, who depended on each other, returned to the yard.
…
On the long street, the victorious army returning from the Western Expedition was in full swing.
The flags with the word "Wei" printed on all four sides fluttered in the wind.
The people on both sides rushed to shout their welcome.
Wei Fu was dressed in armor, riding on a black horse with a clear and majestic appearance. He looked majestic and majestic, with a hint of murderous aura from the battlefield on his body.
He had a handsome and tough face, deep features, and narrow eyes that were slightly cold. He didn't look like an easy person to get along with, but those who knew him knew that General Wei Fu was basically a good person except for his sharp tongue and unethical behavior.
Not only is he a good man, but he is also one of the only two handsome men in the Chu State.
The chief military general of the Great Chu was undoubtedly Shangguan Shu, who commanded a million soldiers and horses in the south, fought for several years, and made great military achievements.
Wei Fu was not to be outdone. He led an army of 300,000 to the west and annihilated the western part of the Chu.
Since ancient times, it is easy to find gold, but difficult to find a good general. It is a great fortune for an emperor to have a general who is invincible in every battle, but Emperor Jianxi has two!
Emperor Jianxi would almost wake up laughing in his dreams!
Ten years ago, the territory of Great Chu was only a few thousand miles, but these two people doubled the territory of Great Chu!
There were many young girls in the crowd on both sides, who blushed silently as they looked at the unruly and heroic general on horseback.
Everyone knows that this brave and warlike General Wei is nearly forty years old, but he has never married. For many years, he has not even had a concubine.
Many officials in the court wanted to marry her, but were always frustrated.
Shangguan Shu also introduced his two younger sisters to him.
