After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince
Chapter 19 Cuju Tournament 1
The two elders have always known their daughter best. Their daughter has always been naughty and ignorant, but today when Helan Xuenuo said this very solemnly, they took her words seriously.
They exchanged a glance, and Madam Helan's expression grew serious. "Actually, not long ago, your father and I bought a mansion in Liancheng. The yard isn't large, but it's just the right size for our family of three and a dozen servants. If that day comes, we'll definitely keep us safe, but only if you're safe, too."
Helan Xuenuo felt a little sad, and her eyes became moist. It turned out that her parents had already planned a way out. After the death of the crown prince, the emperor had not appointed another heir. Unexpectedly, the emperor died suddenly, which also led to the subsequent Hengyang Palace throne seizure incident.
It was only because of her that her parents took this dead end.
This time she wants to choose a good way out for her parents so that they can live the rest of their lives in peace.
Her clenched fists unclenched again.
He picked up the bowl of buttery chicken soup in front of him and drank it all.
"Xiao Zhu, quickly add another bowl for Nuonuo. It's rare that Nuonuo has a good appetite."
"Okay, old general." Xiao Zhu picked up the bowl and walked to the ginseng chicken soup, scooped a bowl and placed it in front of Helan Xuenuo.
"I'm almost dying of fullness." After drinking the second bowl, Helan Xuenuo touched her bloated stomach and felt uncomfortable.
At this time, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere changed from serious to relaxed.
Seeing her father and mother smiling at her, Helan Xuenuo felt very warm.
After Helan Xuenuo finished her meal and left.
The old general and the old lady's expressions grew heavy. The old general sighed, "Nuonuo has grown up and will think about us now."
He lamented his daughter's growth, and also lamented his daughter's growth.
"Yes, she was still a playful child a few days ago, but now she has really grown up with her words. I used to worry that the Helan Mansion would attract jealousy and that someone would definitely have their eyes on Nuonuo, so I arranged this marriage for her early on to protect her from any unnecessary bad relationships. Now it seems that Nuonuo sees things more clearly than we do, and we won't have to worry about her in the future."
The old lady held the old general's hand, and as she said this, her brows relaxed from their original slight frown, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The old general nodded, patted the old lady's hand, and said with emotion, "However, Di'er is a thoughtful child. When I raided the Qi Mansion on the orders of His Majesty, I believe she must have resentment and misunderstandings. I will have a good talk with her someday. She is very stubborn. I just hope she can find a good place in the future, and our fate with her will come to an end."
The old lady nodded and smiled, then covered her mouth and laughed again.
The old general was a little confused.
The old lady said, "I didn't expect a rough man like you to think so much. You have made a lot of progress under my guidance over the years."
The old general laughed heartily. After pausing, he looked at Madam Helan tenderly, "My dear Madam, I still hope to have your guidance in the future."
Old Madam Helan smiled knowingly and stood up. The old general also stood up. The two held hands and walked towards the courtyard hand in hand.
Helan Xuenuo slept soundly until she was woken up by Xiaozhu in the morning. "Miss, it's too late."
Helan Xuenuo just remembered that today was the Cuju match with Shen Yinzhen. If she arrived a little later, Shen Yinzhen would really think she was scared.
Two maids brought a basin of water. Helan Xuenuo washed her face, found a light dress to put on, and chose a green lotus skirt. She then used her sleeves to gather them up, so that the two big sleeves were no longer so troublesome.
This Cuju match was held in the Ju area of the imperial palace. Cuju was a sport loved by men, women, young and old in Donglai State. This sport was also introduced from Mengnan State and has since become the national sport of Donglai State.
Helan Xuenuo didn't listen to a single word Gu Shicheng said during his lecture today. She was only thinking about how to deal with Shen Yinzhen. She glanced at Shen Yinzhen from time to time, and Shen Yinzhen also secretly glanced at her a few times and rolled his eyes at her.
Before the game starts.
Behind the second prince came the third prince, the prime minister's legitimate son Huang Jiuyuan, and other young masters from aristocratic families.
Huang Jiuyuan is the man Shen Yinzhen loves, Huang Xie'er's biological brother from the same mother. He is extremely handsome, and even Helan Xuenuo is deeply shocked when she sees him. Although she has seen Huang Jiuyuan several times in her previous life, she couldn't help but find him eye-catching when she saw him in this life. He was wearing a red waisted robe that was as eye-catching as himself, and walked in a swagger beside the third prince.
After receiving Helan Xuenuo's gaze, he raised his eyebrows at Helan Xuenuo and looked at her with a teasing look.
Helan Xuenuo was startled, swallowed her saliva and looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.
Huang Jiuyuan is a famous playboy in the capital. He goes to Yunxiang Pavilion every day to have some fun. When the madam there sees Huang Jiuyuan, her face is full of smiles, knowing that the God of Wealth of Yunxiang Pavilion has come.
Helan Xuenuo glanced over and found that Shen Yinzhen was staring blankly in the direction of Huang Jiuyuan. Her gaze stayed on Huang Jiuyuan and then she looked at Gu Yanli a few times.
She couldn't help but think that in her previous life, Shen Yinzhen did marry Huang Jiuyuan as his principal wife as she wished, but Huang Jiuyuan had more than a dozen concubines, and these dozen concubines were united as one, so Shen Yinzhen could not compete at all. This news also came from the servants in the Huang Mansion.
However, the Huang family did not have a good ending either. After Huang Xie'er, the legitimate daughter of the Huang family, married the third prince, the Huang family also followed the third prince Gu Xingzhi in making plans. As a result, the third prince was defeated in the Hengyang Palace Incident, and he and Huang Xie'er both died.
The Huang family could not escape the disaster. The male members of the family were exiled to an extremely cold place, and the female members of the family were sold.
Prime Minister Huang and his sons and daughters-in-law were all arrested and executed.
Huang Jiuyuan and Shen Yinzhen also died under the executioner's knife.
Helan Xuenuo thought of Shen Yinzhen's fate and couldn't help but feel that this woman was pitiful and hateful. She shook her head, and this action fell into Shen Yinzhen's eyes.
Shen Yinzhen rolled her eyes at her.
When the competition started and the teams were divided, there were many different opinions, and everyone wanted to be on a team with someone they knew.
Shen Yinzhen pulled Wen Yulan to team up with Huang Jiuyuan, but Huang Jiuyuan kept dodging her.
At this time, Gu Yanli came to Helan Xuenuo and said softly, "Miss Helan, how about you and I form a team?"
Helan Xuenuo raised her voice and asked loudly, "What? Second Prince, you want to join my team?"
The Second Prince smiled slightly and nodded, "That's right."
Helan Xuenuo looked at Gu Yanli, feeling embarrassed to refuse but also unwilling to be on the same team with him. At this moment, Qi Didi tugged at her sleeve and smiled at the Second Prince. "I've heard that the Second Prince is very good at Cuju and once defeated the envoys of the Mengnan Kingdom who were skilled in Cuju. If the Second Prince joins us, we will surely be as powerful as gods. We will naturally welcome him."
Gu Yanli remained calm after being praised, his eyes seemed to be fixed on Helan Xuenuo's face, never moving away. He was waiting for Helan Xuenuo's answer.
"Second Prince, we also want to invite you to join our team." Shen Yinzhen came up at some point and stood beside the Second Prince, with a look of arrogance on his face, as if he was afraid of being defeated.
Just now when the second prince was talking to Helan Xuenuo, Helan Xuenuo deliberately raised her voice so that Shen Yinzhen could hear. Shen Yinzhen had a bad habit since she was a child and loved to snatch things from her.
