Chapter 60
Shangguan Yunxi's hands shook and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is this guy's acting pretty good?
In front of everyone, I had no choice but to act affectionate.
"I'm a little bored. I heard that the female guests are in another courtyard. I want to take a look."
The man squeezed her hand a little harder, and the heat in his palm was so hot that she almost melted.
"Then let's go have some fun, don't go too far."
Shangguan Yunxi saluted with great dignity, greeted Erlang Shen and left.
When I got to the door, I let out a sigh of relief. Damn it, it's not fun at all. I might as well go out and have some fun.
She dismissed the maid who was leading the way and strolled along the garden.
The entire Taiwei's Mansion was beautifully decorated, with pavilions and pavilions arranged in an orderly manner, lanterns hung everywhere, and various flowers decorated.
Shangguan Yunxi and Erlangshen specially avoided crowded places to avoid scaring others.
When I walked to a pavilion, someone was whispering.
"The struggle between him and the second prince has been constant over the years. Why did he suddenly come to the birthday banquet tonight? Could it be that while the second prince is not in the capital, he wants to attack the Taiwei Mansion?"
"It's not surprising. Two months ago, the King of Chu defeated Xichuan and captured twelve cities in a row. The emperor directly ordered the second prince to go to the new land to governor."
"This is obviously a battle achievement that King Chu fought for with his life, but in the end he got the advantage of the second prince. Are you the one who can swallow this sigh of relief?"
Shangguan Yunxi paused.
The emperor has not established a heir, and the struggle for heirs among the princes is becoming increasingly fierce. Among them, the most fierce fight is between the eldest prince Qin Yuzhao and the second prince Qin Yuxi.
The eldest prince's biological mother was Empress Chen, who died of illness a few years ago. Later, the emperor established a new empress, Shangguan Chuming's eldest daughter, Shangguan Xueqing.
The second prince they talked about was Qin Yuxi, the son of the emperor and Shangguan Xueqing.
So, is this bitch here with a political mission tonight? Is he going to ruin Shangguan Chuming’s birthday party? Or is he looking for some excuse to vent his anger?
She didn't listen further and quickly left the place.
The partisan disputes in the court are complicated and complicated, and if you don't pay attention, you will lose your head. She doesn't want to lose her head.
Keep walking forward.
We walked to a place that was very beautifully decorated. The sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from a three-story building. Downstairs stood a group of well-dressed female relatives, as if waiting to welcome something.
Shangguan Yunxi asked Erlangshen to squat in the corner together, raised his finger and said "Shh!" to signal Erlangshen to be silent.
She wanted to see what these people were waiting for.
Erlangshen was very smart and obediently obeyed the instructions and lay down, huddled in the shadows, minimizing his presence.
Soon I saw a big eunuch commanding a dozen little eunuchs, carrying three things.
Those things were covered with yellow silk cloth, making them look mysterious.
The eldest eunuch laughed along with him, bowed to the leading lady, cupped his hands, and said flatteringly.
"Madam, these treasures were given by the Queen Mother. Let the Sa family bring people to carry them here to wish the Taiwei a happy birthday. I wish the Taiwei a blessing as good as the East China Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains."
The woman was wearing an orange-gold filigree satin skirt, with a round figure and a bejeweled look. She was Yuezhi, the wife of Shangguan Chuming.
Yuezhi signaled her maid to give the eunuch a purse, complimented him a few times, and then asked him to take him down for tea.
