A Thousand Hills

Chapter 396

Mu Yanchun's young life was low-key and stable. Even though he was born with such a prominent status as a prince, he seemed to know how to keep a low profile by nature.He didn't want to worry his mother, his mother was not in good health.His mother, Concubine Su Shu, is no more important than the elder brother's biological mother Zhao Guifei and the third brother's biological mother Xie Guifei. Of course, she is even more inferior to the second brother's biological mother Empress Xian Hu. They all call her queen mother when they mention it.

His mother's status is not high, and Mu Yanchun himself doesn't feel that he is a very outstanding person. The eldest brother is good at riding and shooting, the second brother is good at writing, and the third brother is also outstanding when he was young. Fortunately, he is a younger brother, so he can't compare with his elder brothers It's also normal.Fortunately, although he was not outstanding, his father, Emperor Mu Yuan, treated him very well, and his career as a prince was smooth.The change in Mu Yanchun's life came from Princess Yi'an's first marriage in that year. Years later, the older princes and princesses were allowed to go to Princess Yi'an's house to have New Year's wine.

On that day, he met his future wife, Xie Moru.

When Mu Yanchun was out of the palace, his mother Concubine Su Shu told her that if she could see the eldest granddaughter of the Shangshu Mansion, she should say hello to her. This eldest granddaughter of the Xie family was not an outsider.

When he asked about the reason, his mother's expression was not very good, so Mu Yanchun didn't ask any more questions to avoid her being sad.

In fact, Miss Xie was born in the Xie family of the Shangshu Mansion, and the Xie family is the natal family of Concubine Xie in the palace. Therefore, Xie Moru is the cousin of the third prince's serious uncle's family. Mu Yanchun feels that she is not familiar with her, so she doesn't know what to say , I have to give someone something, I feel embarrassed.Fortunately, he was born with a serious face, said a few words with a wooden face, and when he handed things over, he was a little worried that the girl would reject her.Moreover, I don't know if it's because the girl's hair is combed higher. Mu Yanchun found that the girl from the Xie family seemed to be slightly taller than himself. This discovery made Mu Yanchun a little...cough...and, Miss Xie looks pretty good.

Don't look at Mu Yanchun's stern face, he has always been quite aesthetic.

Of course, the impression of Ms. Xie's appearance was quickly replaced by Ms. Xie's personality, because Ms. Xie did something that day to reshape Mu Yanchun's world view: Ms. Xie made the palace's always arrogant attempt to provoke Her eldest princess, Princess Yongfu, was beaten to death.

Later, when he returned to the palace, his father also lost his temper, and sent Princess Yongfu to Jingxin Nunnery to cultivate her body and cultivate her character.

Arguing with Princess Yongfu can only be said to be courageous, as long as you can risk your life, you don't have to be angry with Princess Yongfu.Of course, even if Xie Jiaqinggui quarreled with Princess Yongfu, he didn't have to risk his life.However, to be able to win the fight with Princess Yongfu is quite capable. In the end, not only did she win the fight, but she also made the fight completely unreasonable. This is really a formidable girl.

Mu Yanchun told his mother privately, "Miss Xie, don't worry at all, she is amazing."

There was a slight smile on his mother's pale face, and she said, "It's so powerful."

"Quite powerful." Thinking about Princess Yongfu's final fate, Mu Yanchun was determined.

Afterwards, his mother didn't mention Miss Xie again until Ximan asked to marry the princess. For some unknown reason, Duke Cheng'en's government tried their best to push Miss Xie to marry Ximan as a princess.His mother was so anxious and worried. In the end, Mrs. Wei Guo committed suicide, and Miss Xie didn't get married, so his mother fell seriously ill.Mu Yanchun knew some of the mother's life experience and Miss Xie's life experience.

Anxiety seems to always accompany the mother's life, a life that cannot be controlled, as indifferent as a mother, but also like all the women in the harem, trying to guess his father's thoughts and likes and dislikes.His mother was especially concerned about the third prince's marriage. Mu Yanchun was a little confused. When he asked his mother, she didn't hide it from him. His mother sighed, "Concubine Xie has a tactful and delicate personality, she won't like Mo Ru."

Mu Yanchun didn't understand, "Concubine Xie doesn't like Miss Xie, so what? Miss Xie doesn't want to be her daughter-in-law."

His mother suddenly asked him, "What do you think?"

Mu Yanchun was a little embarrassed, and kept silent. How could he have the nerve to comment on a girl who has not left the court.His mother asked him, "What do you think she looks like?"

Mu Yanchun's mind immediately recalled the first time he saw Miss Xie, and he said honestly, "Long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, high nose bridge, oval face, very good." He didn't know why, but on this side, he just remembered Xie girl's appearance.Or, it might be because Miss Xie is really a radiant girl.

"What do you think of her temperament?"

"She is a reasonable girl, that is, ordinary people probably can't talk about her." Mu Yanchun also whispered to his mother, "If you ask me, the third brother is not suitable for Miss Xie. Concubine Xie flatters her in front of the emperor's grandmother all day long, thank you The girl is like an enemy of Duke Cheng'en's mansion. Besides, Concubine Xie looks kind, but she is very strong. Not to mention Miss Xie, Sister Yongfu is no better than her. After Miss Xie, I have to find someone who is generous enough to help The third brother is a sensible person, but if you want to say whether to help the relatives, the third brother probably won't do it."

The mother asked, "Do you think there are such people in the emperor?"

Mu Yanchun said, "There should be, but I don't know anyone else except me." He was also quite good at making his mother happy.Mother really smiled and said, "If you can marry Miss Xie, why would you treat her like this?"

Mu Yanchun just said it casually, and when he talked about marriage or something, he felt embarrassed again, and said with a serious face, "Of course, the father, the emperor and the mother decide the matter of marriage. No matter who I treat, I will look at who Reasonable."

"Do you think it's better than something powerful?"

"Don't be afraid of being strong, just be reasonable." Mu Yanchun saw a lot of empress dowager Hu's nonsense when he was growing up. He always believed that the most terrifying woman is not the powerful, but the kind of Queen Hu, who is neither wise nor confused.As long as you are a sensible person, what are you afraid of if you are powerful?

Then, his mother nodded in relief and said, "Yanchun, I will remember what you said today for the rest of my life."

Afterwards, his father gave him a marriage with Miss Xie.Even the first, second and third brothers who were not very close to him came over to care for him once, not to mention the fourth brother who was always close to him.His fourth brother almost dragged him to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, feeling that his future life would be miserable and pitiful after all.Mu Yanchun didn't want others to say that about his fiancée, so he said, "Miss Xie is very nice."

His fourth brother said, "I'm just glad that my siblings are from civil servants."

Mu Yanchun said, "Why, the fourth sister-in-law beat you with a stick?" His fourth brother's father-in-law, Marquis Nan'an, is a famous general.

His fourth elder brother engraved an image of being in charge of the family, "Your fourth sister-in-law listens to me in everything."

Mu Yanchun took a look at his fourth brother. In fact, he and Miss Xie didn't have much time to meet each other after they got married.That meeting was at the funeral of his mother-in-law. Mu Yanchun took the funeral ceremony prepared by his mother to pay homage to him. No way, Tianqi Temple could also meet an assassin.Mu Yanchun asked himself that he was not a timid person, nor was he frightened by the assassin, he, he was frightened by his wife's friend Jiang Xingyun, with that lightning-like sword, the assassin's hand flew into the air, Immediately afterwards, a cloud of blood spurted out from the severed wrist.Mu Yanchun had his own guards to protect him, but he was still speechless by the bloody scene. After the blood was gone, it was his wife's expression that remained completely motionless.

At that time, Mu Yanchun immediately understood that the assassination was expected by his wife.

Then, Mu Yanchun came to a conclusion after being terrified that his wife was not only powerful, but also quite courageous.

But in fact, the wife is actually a kind person.

The four elder brothers got married first, and none of the concubines would set up a porridge shed in winter, and his wife was the first among the concubines.Moreover, the elder brothers who were worried about him before the big wedding can rest. His wife is not vicious at all and cares about him very much, and the relationship with his mother is extremely harmonious.

Not without regret.

They have no children.

In the first year, the emperor's grandmother used this to make trouble.

How can his wife have a disadvantaged temperament, Mu Yanchun has also fulfilled his previous promise to help his relatives instead of his relatives.No matter how prominent the empress dowager's status and how respected her seniority, Mu Yanchun always stood by his wife's side. He could not let this woman down. Even though they were just newly married, it was his wife who spared no effort to assist him after marriage. , for their home, pay a lot.

Mu Yanchun has always believed that the ideas of many men in the world are ridiculous, and many people buy people's hearts. It is really a respect for his subordinates. When you are not happy, because of the word filial piety, you are stingy with respect and maintenance.Mu Yanchun is not such a person. His wife not only manages the palace for him, but also advises him, so that he can gain a firm foothold in the court step by step and stand out, but he is barren. He is reluctant to let his wife suffer like this. wronged.

Although, Mu Yanchun often feels a little inferior in front of his wife's IQ, but because he was not as outstanding as his brothers since he was a child, Mu Yanchun really doesn't mean to be jealous. He always believes that there are many people who are stronger than himself in the world. yes.Occasionally, after a little low self-esteem, he would cheer up, thinking that he was no better than his brothers in anything before, but he was better than all his brothers in terms of marrying a wife.

He and his wife didn't fall in love at first.

At the beginning of their marriage, he was just on duty, and they were busy with how to establish a solid foundation in the dynasty.After he makes a statement and establishes a reserve, and wins the favor of his second brother, he will start to slowly accumulate his prestige in the court.There is no need to have a good reputation for being wise. According to my wife, a reputation for being wise is easy to be envied. It is better to seek the name of being practical than seeking the name of being wise.Mu Yanchun has never been afraid of offending others, and he is not a smooth-faced person.After making friends with the second elder brother, Mu Yanchun has gained a certain political status even though he has not established a reserve and entrustment, and has completely controlled the Ministry of Rites.

At that time, he was just a prince with real power, and he had not yet given birth to great ambitions.

At that time, all he wanted was a slightly fertile fiefdom in the future.

At that time, he never forgot in his life. When he said "living together", the light flashed in his wife's eyes, like a tear that never fell.Even many years later, when the elderly Mu Yanchun learned the truth that they had never had a child, he would always think of that moment deeply, wasn't it, at that time, his wife was faced with such a difficult and unfair choice? .

And it was his father who made such a difficult and unreasonable choice.

How important are children to women?

For the mother-in-law Mrs. Wei Guo, the child is more important than her own life. The mother-in-law would rather commit suicide than let the wife who was not yet mature enough to marry Ximan.

For his father, the emperor of a country, the child is an almost unprincipled tolerance that has not deprived him of the title of prince even though half of the country has been overthrown.

What about his wife?
She likes children so much, and the concubine also wholeheartedly advises them, what if they can have a child of their blood relatives?
When he was young, he just wanted to have a child who inherited their common blood. He would think, based on the blood of him and his wife, how noble and outstanding this child should be.But when he was getting old and his life was about to end, he hoped that he could have a child so that his wife would not be so lonely after he left.

This, the woman he respected and loved all his life, was so lonely.

Hand in hand, they have reached the pinnacle of power, from the concubine to the real power vassal, to the throne in the East Palace, to the supreme emperor. This feeling is so lonely.

And he, and the royal family, are so sorry for her.

I really want to be with you forever, but the heavens don't want to leave the fleeting years.

Then, after I leave, I ask you to hold on to this supreme power and continue walking.

This is his country, and also, her country.

This is, their country.
