Chapter 113: Each Takes What He Needs
"Hmph! Old man, don't think I don't know what you are thinking.
The abacus beads are about to fall on my face.
She just wants to control me. They are just two women. I want to see how big a storm she can stir up.
The queen was so shrewd and calculating, but she still went crazy in the end.
I want to see what your Song family's daughter is capable of."
Eunuch Wang knew what the emperor was thinking.
Everyone just takes what they need, and there's nothing you can do about it sitting in this position.
There is a need to balance the court, the harem, and multiple forces.
Sometimes the emperor is also helpless, just like the previous queen.
It can be seen that the emperor still loves the late queen very much, but the late queen has no status or background.
So we can only make room for others, which makes things difficult for the King of War and the princess.
Yun Shuang and others woke Nangong Xue up early in the morning.
After all, as the Princess of War, clothing is very important, and it takes a long time to wear just the princess's outfit.
Alas! Nangong Xue sighed deeply.
She had no choice but to get up. Really, the old emperor was celebrating his birthday, but he prevented her from sleeping in. It was so annoying.
You still want her to give you a nice gift? You’re dreaming.
As soon as Yun Shuang and the others saw the princess' pouting mouth, they knew she was unhappy.
Immediately coaxed.
"Princess! You can't be unhappy today. We can't let others catch us.
How many people dislike our palace and are waiting to find something to hold against us?"
"Okay, I get it. I won't bring shame to Prince Zhan's Mansion outside.
Just help me comb my hair and put on my clothes, I can do the rest myself."
"I don't agree with the makeup you guys are wearing. I don't want to be looked at like a monkey's butt."
"Princess, you can't say the word butt casually."
"knew."
Yunshuang quickly combed Nangong Xue's hair into a nice bun. Nangong Xue looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
It is solemn yet elegant and grand.
Wearing a hairpin on the head adds a bit of beauty?
Several people saw the princess take out bottles and jars and tinker with them.
In a moment, she looked like a completely different person. Was this still their princess? Beautiful, so beautiful.
Especially this makeup, it looks like she has no makeup on, but it is particularly beautiful.
Big eyes, long eyelashes, and a high nose bridge.
I didn’t expect the princess had such skills. No wonder she looked down on them. It seems they are going to be unemployed.
Dongfang Chen wore a dark green coat, a crown of hair, and a belt around his waist with a lifelike dragon pattern on it.
There was a faint smell of ambergris on his body, and he had a handsome face and a tall figure.
I wonder how many young ladies from aristocratic families will be attracted? Fortunately, fortunately, this person is wearing a mask.
However, Dongfang Chen did not plan to wear a mask today, and it was time to show his true face.
Nangong Xue glanced at Dongfang Chen and pouted, looking unhappy.
"Hmph! Ah Chen! You're being so showy, are you planning on taking in a few more concubines? Do I have to make room for you?"
Nangong Xue's mouth curled up high, obviously she was jealous.
Dongfang Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Princess, don't worry, you will always be the only princess in my house.
I'm not trying to be ashamed. I wore the mask before because I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Now that I have a princess, others should avoid me when they see me.
I also don't want others to say that you married a disfigured person. Although the speaker may not mean it, the listener may take it to heart. I don't want you to suffer the slightest injustice."
Nangong Xue: "Achen! I know you feel sorry for me, but we don't need to care about other people's thoughts and opinions.
Those people are just sour grapes because they can't eat them. Anyone who dares to complain will be criticized.
This princess will make her speechless for the rest of her life."
The butler interrupted their conversation.
"Your Highness, Princess, it's getting late. The carriage is packed and we can set off."
"Um."
Yun Shuang and a few others followed Nangong Xue, took the prepared things and got on the carriage.
For a party like this, you definitely need to prepare a few extra sets of clothes just in case.
The secret guards followed Dongfang Chen to protect him at all times.
The maid had one carriage, and Dongfang Chen and his partner had one carriage.
The carriage was shaking as it drove along, and Nangong Xue almost fell asleep, when they finally arrived at the palace gate.
Phew. Phew.
The carriage stopped because there were so many people that it was surrounded and unable to move.
The guards had to clear the way so that the carriages could travel normally.
Today is the Emperor's Christmas, so nothing can go wrong.
Everyone entered the palace one after another, and as luck would have it, they ran into the Nanman, Persia, Tianqi, Loulan, and Miaojiang.
When Princess Miaojiang saw the carriage from Prince Zhan’s mansion, she immediately wanted to catch up.
But he was stopped by the Royal Guards.
"Princess Miaojiang, please obey the rules. There are too many people here today, and I'm afraid you might get hurt."
"Humph! Are you afraid of hurting this princess? Why don't you get out of here right now? Who are you? How dare you stop me?"
"Princess! Please don't embarrass me."
"What's wrong with you, guard? Do you want to die?
Why don’t you understand me? I told you to get out of the way and don’t block my way.
Otherwise, I will let you taste the poison."
"Princess, please don't embarrass me. It's my duty."
"Humph! I'm going to embarrass you, what can you do to me?
Who told you to be so ignorant? You should have stopped the War King's carriage when you saw him."
The captain of the guards lowered his head and said nothing. Would he dare to stop the War King's carriage? He didn't want to live anymore.
He has a few brains that are quite difficult to handle.
The Northern Yan envoy team.
Nangong Xuan looked at Nan Qinghuang with disdain.
"Royal brother! How can this Miao princess be so shameless? She keeps pestering my brother-in-law. How thick-skinned must she be? I'd be mortified if it were me."
Nangong Fan: "Royal sister, let's not meddle in other people's affairs, Miaojiang has ulterior motives.
I'm afraid this surrender isn't that simple. I have a feeling these people are up to something bad."
"Royal brother! Should we alert the War King?"
"You are still too naive. The War King might have received the information before us.
You think his intelligence bureau is a vegetarian, but it can be said that the entire world's movements are in his hands.
Others may not know his power, but this prince knows it all.
The Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion is known as a know-it-all. There is nothing in the world that he doesn't know."
"Royal brother! Are you sure that the War King is the head of the Tianji Pavilion?"
Nangong Fan: "Of course I am sure that he is the head of Tianji Pavilion, and he has more than one identity.
As far as I know, Caiyun Tower, Bilanxuan, and Anyou Pavilion are all under the control of the War King.
Especially the Dark Pavilion, which is the largest killer organization in the world.
And it is spread all over the world, so you can imagine how powerful it is. I really admire the King of War.
He was able to gain a foothold in the military on his own and create such a large force."
