Chapter 139
Chapter 139
“Prince Shang, I’ve heard of your name for a long time!” Nan Gong Wen acted as if he did not see Nan Gong Qian, and walked towards Shang Xin who was getting off the horse carriage and greeted him. He could not help but praise the rumours in his heart.
It was rumored that the Crown Prince of Shang, Shang Wuxin, was a peerless handsome man in the world. At that time, Nangong Wenqing had disdained him; after all, as a prince, what kind of person had he never seen before? However, when he saw Nangong Wen today, he knew that there really was a type of man that could captivate one’s heart just by looking at him.
Towards Nangong Wen’s direct gaze, Shang Wuxin had a trace of disgust in her eyes, but it was concealed very well. Nangong Qian blocked Nangong Wen’s gaze, which seemed like he was looking at an item, and said to him, “Third Imperial Brother!”
The person Nangong Wen hated the most was his second royal brother, Nangong Qian. Regardless of whether it was Nangong Qian’s appearance or his current fame, Nangong Qian wanted to kill him. He wanted to kill his biggest enemy every single time, but the people who tried to assassinate him would never be heard from again.
“Oh, it’s King Qian. I wonder why King Qian is returning with Prince Shang?” Only this New Year’s Eve did the crowd realize that Prince Qian did not participate. Later on, they investigated and found out that he was not in the capital, and just when they were preparing to do something, he came back.
Nangong Qian directly said to Prince Shang, “Go to my mansion and tidy up first. Tomorrow will be my royal father’s birthday celebration. Does Crown Prince Shang think that it’s good?” Outside, Nangong Qian had returned to being that cold and emotionless Prince Qian.
“Very good, then I’ll have to trouble you with this!” Shang Xin spoke to Nangong Wen, “Third Marquis, I’ll be leaving first!” With that, he got into the carriage with Nangong Qian. Regardless of whether it was Nangong Wen or the officials who came to welcome him, both of them did not consider it at all. Moreover, she could see that if she followed Nangong Wen into the palace now, there would definitely be someone waiting for her.
When Shang Xin and Nangong Qian sat in the carriage, Nan Gong Wen’s face suddenly became gloomy, “Ha! The Crown Prince of Shang, Shang Wuxin, really did not care about face at all! You actually dare to not give face to this king in Nangong Country… ”
“Third Prince, don’t be angry. Prince Shang can tell at a glance that he is just a young child without any hair. Since the Third Prince is in the Nangong Country, will he have any chance of punishing Prince Shang?” An official said fawningly.
When Nangong Wen heard this, he understood what was going on. He looked at the shadow of the carriage as it left with a sinister look in his eyes.
“From now on, be more careful when you meet Nangong Wen. He doesn’t have a man’s heart. You’ve humiliated him today, he’ll find trouble with you as long as you’re in Nangong Country. No matter what happens, don’t worry!” Nangong Qian frowned as he spoke, feeling a little disgusted at the appearance of these people disturbing his relationship with Crown Prince Shang.
Shang caressed Whitey’s fur and said carelessly, “Huh? However, I realized that Nangong did not give Nangong Wen face. ” Shang Wuxin had also seen Nangong Qian’s overbearing and forceful attitude. Even if it were his own brother, he would not feign ignorance.
Shang Wuxin did not realize that he was addressing me as me, but Nangong Qian realised that he did not show it, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
“Even if I give him face, my fight with him will not end! “From today onwards, there will only be one Emperor in the Nangong Country!” “No matter what, I have to be careful in the future!” Nangong Qian broke his ambitions in front of Prince Shang. In Nangong Qian’s heart, the rascal Crown Prince Shang was not only disobedient, he also liked to be in danger, which was why he kept reminding him.
“I understand!” I understand, but I don’t know if you listen.
His eyes widened as he looked at the straight and respectful manner in front of the entrance of the Palace. Shang did not think that these people were here to welcome the return of the Prince of Qian, but they were all looking at him.
One must know that every time Prince Qian returned to the palace, he would always keep a low profile. However, this time, they had already received an order from the Crown Prince Shang to come to the palace, and these orders had caused their subordinates to be somewhat afraid of what the Prince Qian was up to. Thus, they had diligently stood at the entrance to the mansion to greet him.
Nangong Qian was very satisfied with his subordinate’s tactful attitude. He said directly to the people in the mansion, “This is Crown Prince Shang. From now on, he is my equal!” This sentence not only startled the subordinates, but also shocked Shang Wuxin.
At this moment, everyone from the palace knew that Prince Shang had taken a liking to him. Lowering their heads, they all thought to themselves that Prince Shang would have to diligently wait upon him in the palace.
Shang Tong was in no mood to follow Nangong Qian into the palace. The mansion’s width was not inferior to the crown prince’s mansion. The entire mansion’s layout was cold, hard, and luxurious. Moreover, there was no color in the palace that was inferior to the crown prince’s mansion.
After all, he was a guest who had just arrived at the palace and should go to the guest room to rest. However, Shang Tong still observed Nangong Qian’s chamber, Nangong Qian’s chamber was much larger and colder than his own, and other than the desk and other necessities, there was nothing else.
“You will stay here from now on. There are no maids in the mansion. If you need any help, just let your servant girl serve you!” Nangong Qian poured a cup of water for Crown Prince Shang and said, completely ignoring his obsession with cleanliness.
Shang Wuxin suddenly put down the teacup she had just picked up, “This is inappropriate, I will just check into the guest room!” Actually, Shang Bin still had another layer of worry, if Nangong Qian also lived here, she would not be mad, after all, men are usually even more scary than women when it comes to being narrow-minded.
Nangong Qian stood up and walked outside, “Don’t worry, I live in the neighboring chamber. Of course …” If you don’t invite me, I’m still willing to sleep with you! ” Although he was burning with desire at night, he was willing to do so.
On the other hand, Nangong Qian helplessly smiled as he walked out of the hall. Thinking about the future of this hall that he had lived in for so many years, where Prince Shang would live, where there would be traces of her scent, Nangong Qian was in a good mood.
It was already early in the morning when Shang had woken up. He stood guard outside the sleeping quarters, not allowing anyone to get close to the sleeping quarters. After all, he had to conceal his identity as the crown prince of the crown prince’s residence well.
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Shang unintentionally walked out of the sleeping quarters and was led by a servant into the main hall. He saw Nangong Qian, who seemed to have been sitting there since a long time ago.
“Why don’t you have your meal first?” Shang was not in the mood to idle around in the Crown Prince’s Palace, so he had the habit of sleeping lazily, forgetting that she was living in the Palace, moreover he was just a guest, from the looks of the attendants’ eyes one could tell that they must be thinking something, it was indeed rude of him.
Nangong Qian personally placed the chopsticks and bowls in front of Prince Shang, “No rush, let’s wait for you to have a meal together!”
Shang had no idea that Nangong Qian was a male chauvinist and did all this for him, so he did not put on airs and started to eat. The two of them started preparing to enter the palace early in the morning. After all, Shang didn’t have the intention to come here to congratulate the Emperor.
Entering the magnificent palace of the Emperor, Shang Wuxin lamented the fact that no matter which country’s palace it was, it was always bright yellow in color and was extremely luxurious. Very few people would be able to guard their hearts in a palace like this.
“King Qian has arrived!”
“The Crown Prince of Shang has arrived!”
Nangong Qian and Shang were not in the mood to walk side by side into Nangong Country’s great hall. King Qian was dressed in a long purple robe with golden stripes. His handsome face that seemed like it was carved out of jade was imposing and imposing.
His long hair was like ink, and only had a black jade hairpin. His handsome face was extremely enchanting, his eyebrows were like willow leaves, his eyes were like jade lakes, his white jade face, pink lips were like beauties, and when he lifted his hand, it was as if he was in the beginning of a love affair.
“Father!” Nangong Qian’s face was ice-cold and his entire body was surrounded by estrangement.
Shang Xin stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting, “Shang Xin Dong greets the Emperor!” Their attitude was neither servile nor overbearing but it was not without politeness. It was different from Nangong Qian’s ice-cold attitude, but rather the elegance and elegance in his bones. The two of them clearly had different temperaments but they stood there harmoniously.
He wore a bright yellow dragon robe with a small gold dragon embroidered on the collar and cuffs. On his square face, there were thick eyebrows that hung down onto his not too big eyes, and his not-so-strong nose bridge had a slightly broad nose, thick red lips, and the teeth in his mouth were clean and white. Seeing this, Emperor Nangong Shang felt that his father was definitely too handsome, and most importantly, Emperor Nan Gong actually had such a handsome son.
“Alright!” Nangong Emperor looked down at Prince Shang’s eyes, which were filled with admiration and affection. However, that expression of appreciation was just a facade. The more outstanding Crown Prince Shang was, the less benefits he would have in the future.
“Quick, look at Prince Shang!” The Nangong Emperor ordered, “Emperor Shang is blessed, to actually have a son like Prince Shang!”
Shang Bin sat on his throne, while Nangong Qian sat on his throne. Looking at how the Emperor was ignoring him, he felt discontent in his heart. However, his expression was gentle, “The Emperor has such an outstanding son, so he must be envious, Father!”
Nangong Qian didn’t look at Prince Shang who was sitting at his lower body, but he felt a warm feeling in his heart as he listened to Prince Shang’s faintly discernible intention to protect him. After so many years of being strong, he could destroy anything, so no matter what happened, no one would fight for him. Even his own royal sister thought that he was born like this, but now there was a young man who didn’t think of himself as that tough and ruthless Humble King, only a man who needed fairness. Although Crown Prince Shang’s method seemed somewhat childish, his heart was beating faster.
Nangong Emperor looked at Crown Prince Shang with a slightly unpleasant expression. However, he discovered that Crown Prince Shang’s gaze was extremely sincere and that there was no other reason for him to be worried. It was just a simple flattery.
“Haha, our sons are all good men!” The Emperor of Nan Gong led the way, it was clear that he did not want others to praise the Humble King, nor did he want him to praise the Humble King.
In his eyes rolled a deep ocean so deep that it looked like it was rolling in his sea. In his heart, Shang Tong felt that Nangong Qian was hurt by his father’s words, so he couldn’t help but think that Nangong Qian was moved by her actions, hence, Shang Dong was so stunned that he continued his sentence, “Indeed! However, from what I see, the few children of the Nangong Imperial Clan are the most important ones. I have truly admired them for a long time! ”
Only then did Nangong Qian look down at Crown Prince Shang, wondering why Crown Prince Shang was defending him like this today. Although he was so happy that he wanted to laugh a few times, in his heart he was thinking, “Could it be that Crown Prince Shang likes the weak?” After all, Han Xuanhao had been playing the role of a little white flower by the crown prince’s side all this time. However, Nangong Qian felt that if he became like that in front of Crown Prince Shang, Nangong Qian would feel pain everywhere.
Just as the Emperor was about to chase the annoying Prince Shang out, a report rang out.
“The crown prince of Qing Country, Qing Kui, has arrived!”
“The little princess of Qing Country, Wood Garden Princess, has arrived!”
Just as he finished speaking, he saw two people enter the hall, the man in front was around 27 or 28 years old, he was dressed in purple robes, but he looked like a rather handsome man, but when compared to Nan Gong Qian who was also dressed in purple, he was incomparable. This man was not very tall, but his face was filled with light, making him difficult to deal with.
The girl following Qing Kui was around ten years old, unlike the last time when Shang Guan saw her in a sorry state and looking weak. The current Qing Mu Yuan was dressed in a delicate pink dress, and even though she wanted to hide it, she still peeked at Prince Shang from time to time because she was still young. Her watery eyes sparkled like crystal, and her long eyelashes flickered from time to time as she looked at the God in her heart. Her smooth and plump forehead was like jade, and her small and perky nose was so beautiful that it made one want to pinch it. Her cherry red lips were like dewdrops on a morning flower, glistening and moist. Her round chin was so small that it was just right. It was possible to see how beautiful this girl would be when she grew up.
He was infatuated with even such a young child, and Nangong Qian then looked at all the other girls in the hall, and sure enough, they were all flirting with Crown Prince Shang. As for why no one was flirting with Nangong Qian, it was because Nangong Qian’s reputation in the Nangong Country was not close to that of a woman, and no one knew how many girls who wanted to seduce him would have no consequences, with so many proof of his existence, who would still dare to rush up to him like that?
“Qing Guo greets the Nangong Emperor!”
“Qing Nation’s Qing Mu Yuan greets the Nangong Emperor!”
After the two of them bowed, they sat down. After they sat down, the wooden garden would occasionally peek at Prince Shang sitting opposite of them. Shang Wuxin, of course, noticed the little girl and smiled. This girl had always been one of his admirers. However, he hadn’t seen her grow very fast in a few months. Furthermore, this person could now be considered his subordinate.
At this moment, the empress of Nangong State, who was also the mother of Minamiya, spoke up, “King Qian, you’re no longer young. You should get married now. This empress has already seen the first-rate daughter of the emperor, and being your first wife is even more of a match for her family!”
Nangong Country’s Minister’s daughter was a fool who was almost thirty years old. Empress Nan Gong’s words were meant to slander Nangong Qian. Shang could not help but sigh as to why these vexed women were always blabbering about things.
“Aiya, isn’t the daughter of the Minister already thirty years old? Empress, it’s not just chenqie who says so. Prince Qian is praised by everyone in the military. If people knew that the emperor had actually given the princess’ daughter to Prince Qian, I wonder what the citizens would think of the emperor? “
