Tuoba Huang made a disciple salute to He Mulan, and He Mulan didn't want to accept it, but Tuoba Huang knelt down and got up, so she didn't even have time to avoid politeness, so she accepted this gift for life.

"This is a courtesy, the general deserves. Wait for the general to come home and understand. Tuoba smiled brightly, "In the future, please ask General Hua to take care of me more, my father often mentions your character, let me learn from you." ”

He Mulan wanted to bend down and talk to the little Tuoba Huang, but his waist was a little painful, so he simply squatted down and said to Tuoba Huang: "Does Your Highness want to learn martial arts?" The last general's knowledge is not as good as Cui Hao's, but the last general's martial arts are very demanding on the body, and His Royal Highness's roots and bones may not be suitable. ”

A Danzhuo's rough skin and thick flesh are suitable for inheriting her mantle, and Tuoba Huang can only learn some life-saving skills with her.

"I don't know what's going on, I want to be close to you as soon as I see the general, obviously I haven't seen it a few times before." Tuoba Huang smiled innocently: "But I invited the general here, not so that the general could teach me martial arts, but in the hope that when the general was not in the army, he would often come to the East Palace to accompany me." ”

It's only a five-year-old kid!

Were ancient children so precocious?

At such a young age, you know the friendliness of brushing around the corner?

He Mulan looked at Tuoba Huang in surprise.

"Since my brother was born, there have always been ladies in various palaces spying on him, and I listened to Wang Xianren's advice to carry my younger brother to the East Palace, and these people still kept appearing. I'm young, I haven't lived in the East Palace for long, and the number of officials in the East Palace is not large, and I have to supervise the country, so I'm always worried that something will happen to my younger brother......"

Taka Akira's face was full of worry.

"The guards in the East Palace are not as good as the Su Guards, not even Yu Linlang, and I hope that the general will teach / guide more, General Hua's martial arts are known all over the world, and the general himself will teach, I think it will be safe at least."

He Mulan was confused, but this request was not a difficult matter, the guards of the East Palace were all selected by Tuoba Tao, and they were not so lame, Tuoba Huang said this, nothing more than hoping that she would often enter the palace to deter one or two, so that the young people would not dare to enter and leave the East Palace.

Also, the East Palace where Tuoba Tao once lived was more broken than the harem and the West Palace, and the walls of this palace were short, thinking that it would be as simple as she and Tuoba Tao to see those noble ladies sneaking into the palace, and even being able to kill a way out, which shows how terrible the palace defense loopholes of this Wei State are.

When Tuobatao's grandfather Tuoba Shao and his favorite concubine Mrs. Helan quarreled in the palace, Mrs. Helan sent a letter to her son saying "Your father wants to kill me", her son Tuoba Shao only gathered a dozen cronies, moved a wooden ladder in the dark night and climbed over the palace wall, directly entered the Tian'an Hall where Tuoba Jue lived, and killed Tuoba Shao with a knife in his hand.

The defense of the East Palace was not as good as it was then.

Thinking that this doll, who had just reached the age of five, had already begun to think about her own safety, as well as the "pain of losing her mother" that he had said to Shan Zhuo in her previous life, He Mulan couldn't help but sympathize with this child and nodded to him cautiously.

"In the end, I will often enter the palace, if Your Highness has anything to order, don't be polite."

When Tuoba Huang heard this, he immediately laughed happily, clapped his hands and asked, "I heard that the things played outside are different from those in the palace, can you bring me something new?" ”

When He Mulan heard Tuoba Huang's request, he scratched his face in embarrassment: "This ...... The last general doesn't know what to play outside, so he will wait for the last general to inquire. ”

Tuoba Huang nodded, not worried about He Mulan's perfunctory treatment of him at all, and after discussing the time to enter the palace, Tuoba Huang called "Sister Wang", and Wang Muyun came out of the back room.

It's only been a few months, Wang Muyun already has a mature color, and he is even more beautiful, and he also exudes a kind of maternal brilliance, which is completely different from just pretending to be familiar with He Mulan into the study.

Tuoba Huang raised his head and continued to explain to He Mulan: "There are many people in the palace, and I am afraid of causing trouble for the general, so I asked the Wang family's sister to help. Sister Wang is delicate and virtuous, I like her very much, and I hope the general will not be surprised. ”

"In fact, it doesn't have any impact on my reputation, it's Wang Xianren's ......"

"It's okay for me, I just blocked the mouths of many people in the palace. I don't know how many ladies in the harem are worried that I will fly into the harem one day......" Wang Muyun smiled indifferently, "Anyway, I don't plan to get married, General Hua doesn't mind." ”

Here, Wang Muyun straightened his clothes, deliberately messed up his temples, and sent He Mulan out of the study. Since the palace people could not stay with the ministers for a long time, it was only a quarter of an hour from the time He Mulan entered the study to the time he left.

He Mulan's waist seemed to be pulling tendons, and he couldn't help but be a little cautious when he crossed the threshold, and somehow he felt something, and suddenly turned his head, only to see the little Tuoba shaking his body in a gorgeous costume, standing alone in the dim palace room, unspeakably lonely and depressed, and some couldn't take a step.

"General?"

Wang Muyun opened his mouth curiously to urge.

Hermulan's foot, which was already about to take a step, suddenly retracted and turned back to Tuoba.

Tuoba was stunned, a little unclear.

"I heard about Mrs. He's thing when I came......" He Mulan pinched the hem of his clothes unnaturally, not knowing how to comfort him.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to mourn, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good, and Mrs. He is so gentle and virtuous, there will be no resentment in his heart under Jiuquan."

Tuoba lowered his head suddenly, and Mullan didn't have time to see the expression on his face.

After a while, Tuoba's small shoulders suddenly trembled, and He Mulan was even more worried in his heart, and began to complain that he was so dead, why did he have to talk about it before leaving.

"I know." Tuoba shook his shoulders, and his voice was muffled, "The general has a heart." ”

He Mulan sighed, finally didn't say anything, and followed Wang Muyun out of the palace without looking back.

***

After leaving the palace, He Mulan first went to the Flower Mansion, which was not far from the palace. Coming back early this morning, Yuan Fang had already returned home with some treasures exchanged in Beiliang, she was worried that the flower father and mother were waiting at home, and assigned Na Luohun back, if it was not too late today, she could rush back just in time for dinner.

Took the sword from the gate of the palace, rode Yueying, He Mulan returned to his heart like an arrow, when he saw the familiar gate of Changping Fang, He Mulan showed a smile on his face, because there was a family waiting for her at the gate of the fang, as soon as he saw her back, he immediately ran back to report.

He Mulan rode wildly, ran all the way back to the door, and met the flower father and the flower mother with the flower and the wooden support to go out to greet him, the flower father was like countless times before, leaning against the door, waiting for He Mulan to come up and greet him with a happy expression.

"Grandpa, grandma, brother, I'm back!"

With a wave of his hand, He Mulan jumped off his horse and rushed forward.

The flower father nodded happily, and the flower mother went up to hug her and began to shed tears again: "Why is it dark again?" What's the deal with the wound on the face? They said that you were blown away by the wind in the desert, I just don't believe it, you are such a good boy, how can God be willing to take you away......"

The flower mother wiped her tears indiscriminately.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Peace and security! ”

After a year of fear and fear, the flower mother has already thought about it all, what wealth and glory, what status is respected, all rely on Hua Mulan to win by life. At the beginning, her husband couldn't join the army, and her daughter had already sacrificed once, and now she can't get out, this is the debt that their whole family owes to their daughter, if the daughter really has anything in case, then their whole family is a sinner.

Whether it is rich or rich, or the title of Mrs. Hua, it is all something outside the body, as long as the family is happy together, it is a better day than anything else.

Seeing He Mulan's current appearance of black charcoal, Hua Mu felt guilty and guilty in her heart, and while sobbing, she followed He Mulan inside, and said in a chattering voice: "After you left, your colleagues always came to visit at home, for fear that we would be wronged in Beijing. After Hua Mutuo's child learned to read and write with You Envoy Jun, he talked less than before, and no one said anything about me in my heart, and your grandfather couldn't beat a fart with eight bars. Your sister gave birth to another son, and wanted me to go to Woye to see her, but how dare I go, she didn't know about your situation, so I had to find an excuse to shirk it, and I don't think I can hide it for long......"

She hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, and she couldn't stop talking as she grabbed her hand. In fact, the flower mother did not have much to say, since He Mulan left, the flower father and the flower mother have been closed, and there are no outsiders.

Di Yefei later went to dig coal, and several people followed Gu Bi to Beiyan, and there was no one to talk about in Beijing.

He Mulan smiled and listened to the mother of flowers, who was also a reserved person, and could urge them to hurry up to eat in a daze, while Hua Mutuo followed behind He Mulan in silence, as if he didn't know what to say.

Na Luo Hun and Chen Jie looked at the closeness of Father and Mother Hua to He Mulan with some envy, as soon as they left Beiliang, they returned to Pingcheng, and they haven't gone home to see it until now, they miss their parents at home, and their expressions can't help but bring out some, so that He Mulan is a little apologetic, and they are ready to wait for the soft matter to pass, and let them go home to rest for a while.

Arriving at the banquet hall like this, He Mulan looked around the hall, frowned and asked, "There are a lot of new maids in the family?" ”

She remembered that she had never bought a maid, and she was served by Rouran's servants.

"I didn't buy it, it was sent by your friend named Du Shou, we can't push it off no matter how much we refuse." Hua Mu said a little embarrassed: "He asked us for one thing, and after we agreed, he sent many slaves and maids over, and I don't know where your friend lives, and he can't go back." ”

Du Shou?

陛xià?

"Du Shou has been here before?"

He Mullan was shocked.

"When?"

"About half a year ago." "One night I suddenly knocked on the door, and I looked embarrassed, and I remember that you said that he was a noble man who had brought you with him, and that he had brought so many gifts to visit our house at that time, so he let him in." ”

The Mother of Flowers nodded.

"A good lad and always very polite. Hey, I'm already married, and my family is still messy......"

Otherwise, it is a good match for my Mulan.

The more He Mulan listened, the more confused he became, and Na Luohun and Chen Jie were even more confused.

"I promised him not to talk nonsense, otherwise it would kill people. When I'm done eating, I'll tell you again. The flower mother whispered in her daughter's ear, as if she was glad that others could value them and entrust such a big thing.

So, He Mulan ate a supper without knowing the marrow, and was led to the main courtyard by the flower mother.

"Mother, isn't this my own yard?"

He Mulan looked at the Mother of Flowers strangely with a mysterious expression, and then looked at the maidservants who kept curtsieving her along the road. "Why do I get so many maids in my yard......"

She lowered her voice: "Aren't you afraid that my identity will be exposed?" ”

Hua Mu looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to this, so she also lowered her voice and said: "These maids were sent by General Du later, don't you know, half a month ago, General Du came down in desperation and asked for help from us......"

Mullan's eyes widened.

Can Tuoba Tao still be cornered?

"He told us that he got a beautiful concubine, his temperament is supple and his stomach is also angry, and he became pregnant as soon as he entered the door, but his wife in the family is too fierce, and he has always wanted to kill this beautiful concubine, he has protected it for a few months, and he is about to go on an expedition, and he is worried that the concubine will die at home, so he wants to entrust the concubine to us, and when she gives birth to a child, she will raise it here first, and then take it back when he comes back from the war......"

The flower mother couldn't help but shake her head when she said this.

"Hey, it's also a hard-working child, haven't you seen his concubine, beautiful like dripping water, I've never seen a woman who has just given birth be so beautiful, no wonder General Du is willing to risk offending his wife, and pulled down his son to beg us for protection."

He Mulan swallowed, and suddenly had a bad thought.

Just gave birth, beautiful concubine......

Except for what fierce wife, there seems to be only one person right.

He Mulan's heart was like a mess, seeing that the main courtyard was already in front of him, the flower mother stuck to He Mulan's side, and continued to explain in a whisper: "This lady is also miserable, she didn't even have a confinement when she was sent, I heard that she was kicked out by her wife, and her son was also snatched away by her." The rest of our house hasn't been cleaned up, and we can't wait for people to do confinement, so I will give her the side courtyard next to your house first. When General Du first came, this lady had nightmares every day, crying for her own child, hey, it was also a bitter life......

The mother of the flower is soft-hearted, and the father of the flower is even more compassionate, and it is a little unacceptable to talk about this.

"I heard that the wife thought that she died outside so she didn't trouble her, if she knew that she was still alive, she would definitely send someone to kill her, and we didn't dare to expose her identity, and we said that your clan sister was abused by her mother-in-law and came to Beijing to take refuge, and I don't know how long we can hide it."

He Mulan followed the flower mother into the side courtyard, and saw two maidservants standing under the corridor, and when she saw that they came, she didn't even change her expression, so she immediately went back to pass the word, and the lady there quickly invited them in.

Generally, women will not let men into the room during confinement, even if it is not a blood room. This "Du Shou's wife" actually saw her, and I am afraid that she already knew that she was a woman from "Du Shou".

Hua Mu and He Mulan entered side by side, did not smell any bad smell in the room, but there was a faint smell of melon and fruit, a plump woman leaned on the head of the bed, saw He Mulan come in, a little embarrassed to chin the head.

"I'm not feeling well, and I can't see the courtesy, which makes General Hua smile."

The shape of the face and eyes are almost poured out of the same mold as Taka Huang.

He Mulan felt a little spinning for a moment, so he turned around and walked out of the room in spite of it, and took a few big breaths into the sky before he was relieved.

His Majesty didn't kill Mrs. He!

Mrs. He is in her house!

Still doing confinement!

When the flower mother saw He Mulan running out, she smiled apologetically at Mrs. He, and leaned forward to her daughter with concern, and asked her in a low voice, "Are you scared?" Is she General Du's concubine? ”

He Mullan closed his eyes and nodded.

"Yes."

"Hey, it's all true, huh? How can there be such a vicious woman in this world, what is the origin of General Du Shou's wife, and is she not afraid that General Du Shou will be separated from her because of this? I have seen a lot of wives and concubines who are not in harmony and end up making the family restless, and they are also evil, General Du Shou is dignified, why do you want so many women to go to the house......"

He Mulan was amused by Hua Mu's words, shook his head and said: "That wife is really big, even General Du doesn't dare to slack off, and he works hard to serve her every day. ”

Knowing that Tuoba Tao could not ruthlessly kill the person who gave birth to two children for him, and knowing why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to give a big gift before she left the palace, He Mulan only felt that the future of this country was very bright.

A person with an open heart and a person with benevolence and filial piety will not embark on the path of a faint king, right?

"Huh? Could it be the noble daughter of the Xianbei Eight Clans? You want to know that if you save this lady, will it cause you trouble? ”

The Mother began to show some regret.

"It's not the daughter of the Xianbei Eight Clans, but it's more troublesome than that."

He Mulan let out a sigh of relief, but his heart was inexplicably relaxed.

"That wife's surname is Wei."

It is the main room of Tuoba Tao, and the Great Wei State is also.
