==Chapter 173==

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang......"

Mu Mu swept in like a whirlwind, followed by a few little attendants who ran out of breath. Ruan Ronghai had already heard the movement inside, and hurriedly greeted him. He glanced over, and the attendants stopped at the door, and Mu Mu ran past him and ran inside, followed by a white-haired puppy at his feet.

Now in this Zichen Palace, only Mu Mu is the only one who can enter the back dormitory without being informed. The king of benefits can also, but the king of Hui has always understood etiquette, even if he comes to see Emperor Chengyuan, he must order someone to pass it on first.

Mu Yuanzhang is also here today.

When Mu Mu ran in, he was sitting in front of the dragon couch and talking to Emperor Chengyuan.

Since King Hui stepped down as the crown prince, his body seems to have gradually improved, although it is still the same as before, it has not deteriorated anymore, and it can be regarded as the only comfort for the current Emperor Chengyuan, especially after so many things have happened.

Mu Mu had seen Mu Yuanzhang, and when he saw that this imperial uncle was also there, he hurriedly stopped, greeted Mu Yuanzhang, and saluted Emperor Chengyuan.

"What are you doing in a hurry? I'm not afraid of falling. ”

Emperor Chengyuan's tone is not good, but those who are familiar with his temperament can know that this is already his softest attitude. In the past, only Mu Yuanzhang could see this side, but now there is another Mumu.

Mu Mu is a child's temperament in the end, and when he suddenly saw that there were other people in Emperor Chengyuan's bedroom, it was inevitable that he would be restrained for a while, so he would respectfully salute Mu Yuanzhang and Emperor Chengyuan. At this time, the etiquette is just a matter of etiquette, in his mind, what should be done has been done, so he regained his child's temperament, ran to the dragon couch of Emperor Chengyuan, climbed on the edge of the couch, and said in a milky voice: "Grandpa Huang, didn't my grandson tell you yesterday that I will bring you the wine today." ”

The chubby milk baby, white and tender, with a pair of big eyes with baby blue, is like a glutinous rice dumpling, which makes people's hearts melt when they see it.

Emperor Chengyuan originally wanted to maintain his majesty in front of King Hui, but he couldn't pretend to be able to do it at this time, and his face showed a strange softness, as if he wanted to go soft, but it was forced to be majestic, which made people want to laugh when they saw it.

He craned his neck to look, but from his angle he could only see a little white hair.

Seeing this, Mu Mu hurriedly bent down to hug the wine and wine, and wanted to show it to Emperor Chengyuan.

The physique of the wine is not large, and it has not grown longer since it was more than a year old, and it is only about a foot long. But Mumu is only a little more than two years old now, and even if he is not very physical, it is a burden for him. He hugged it very hard, and his little face was red, but fortunately, Jiujiu was an obedient puppy, even if Mu Mu held it a little uncomfortable, it was honest and did not struggle.

"Ouch, my little master, how can you come, the old slave will help you hug it." Ruan Ronghai hurriedly came up to offer his courtesy.

Mu Mu avoided it, and stubbornly wanted to show Emperor Chengyuan the wine by himself.

"Grandpa Huang, look, this is wine, isn't it very well-behaved and obedient."

Emperor Chengyuan glanced at the dog with good skin and nodded: "It's not bad, Grandpa Huang saw it, you have little strength, and you can't hold it now, so put it down quickly." ”

Seeing that Emperor Chengyuan said this, Mu Mu put down the wine.

Mu Yuanzhang laughed on the side: "I didn't expect Mu Mu to be so smart and clever at a young age. ”

"This kid is good." Emperor Chengyuan nodded in agreement.

Mu Yuanzhang sighed: "This child is growing up so fast, the child remembers that he was only so old that he couldn't even sit steadily." I didn't expect it to grow so big in just the blink of an eye. ”

Mu Mu looked at Mu Yuanzhang curiously.

"Uncle Huang, have you ever seen Mu Mu when he was so old?" He learned from the prince to make a gesture, and his childish question made people laugh even more.

Mu Yuanzhang nodded, and said to Mu Mu warmly: "Yes, Mu Mu was only so old at that time, but you were still young at that time, and you couldn't speak, so you definitely don't remember." When you were young, Uncle Huang still hugged you. ”

Mu Mu frowned, unable to imagine what he would be like when he was 'so old'. Because of this, he glanced at Mu Yuanzhang several times, and always felt that this imperial uncle was lying to him, how could he be so small, isn't it about the same age as wine.

Xiao'er couldn't hide anything on his face, and a few people present knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, Mu Yuanzhang suddenly burst into laughter, and even Emperor Chengyuan couldn't help laughing.

Mu Yuanzhang coughed lightly, stopped laughing, and said to Emperor Chengyuan: "It's not too early, the child will retire now, and come to see his father tomorrow." ”

Emperor Chengyuan nodded and told him: "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, you are not in good health, so don't go out less, so as not to blow the wind." I'm fine, don't always worry about me. ”

Mu Yuanzhang didn't distinguish with Emperor Chengyuan, just nodded and responded.

Let Futai push out of the Zichen Palace, Mu Yuanzhang got into the chariot and went to Tong'an Palace.

On that day, the two rebels committed rebellion, and the palace on Penglai Mountain was burned down, so he temporarily moved to Tong'an Palace to live. Emperor Chengyuan has already ordered someone to rebuild Penglai Mountain, Mu Yuanzhang wanted to refuse, but Emperor Chengyuan insisted, and he couldn't say anything.

In fact, let Mu Yuanzhang see that he is not a prince after all, and it is still not suitable to live in the palace, but Emperor Chengyuan insisted, and he was afraid of stimulating his father, so he could only acquiesce.

Seeing the smart and clever Mu Mu, Mu Yuanzhang missed his daughter who he hadn't seen for a while, and couldn't help but let Futai urge him to go faster.

When he arrived at Tong'an Palace, he went directly to a side hall on the west side. Ruan Ling'er was breastfeeding the child with her arms, and when she saw Mu Yuanzhang coming in, she hurriedly blushed and avoided it.

"Is Anke okay? Did it bother you? "An An is the little life that Mu Yuanzhang gave to his daughter, taking the meaning of righteousness, peace and joy.

Futai pushed Mu Yuanzhang to the couch and went down with Xiang'er. Ruan Ling'er was not so embarrassed at this time, straightened the tulle handkerchief on her chest, and replied: "My daughter is very obedient and has not made trouble with her concubine." ”

Now this breastfeeding thing is done by Ruan Ling'er herself, in fact, it is not difficult for Mu Yuanzhang to find two nurses. But in order not to leak the news, plus Ruan Ling'er loved the child, knowing that Jiu Niang was also feeding Mu Mu personally at that time, she took it all in.

Seeing that her daughter was full, Ruan Ling'er hugged her upright, gently patted her on the back, burped her, and coaxed her for a while before putting her in the car on the side. An An is only three months old now, and it is the time to eat and sleep, lying in the car and letting her mother shake for a while, and then fell asleep deeply.

Mu Yuanzhang kept watching Ruan Ling'er's movements with soft eyes, and only after seeing his daughter asleep did he say softly: "I have wronged you." ”

Ruan Ling'er understood what Mu Yuanzhang meant, and smiled softly, "The concubine is not wronged, An An is also the daughter of the concubine, and the concubine will take her by herself, which is as it should be." Anyway, the concubine has nothing to do on weekdays, if His Royal Highness doesn't let the concubine take An An in person, the concubine will feel wronged. ”

"Wait, when the time comes, our daughter won't have to hide like this."

Ruan Ling'er knows the pros and cons of this, she has always been a supple and tolerant person, and she has always been what Mu Yuanzhang says, so she nodded and said, "The concubine understands." ”

"Penglai Mountain has already begun to be repaired, I originally wanted to move out of the palace, but I didn't let my father look like it."

"Father is also worried about you."

Mu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly: "I understand, I always feel a little out of place. After a pause, he said: "I want to wait for the Penglai Mountain to be repaired, so I begged my father to go and live there with us." ”

Ruan Ling'er looked at him in surprise, and instantly understood what he meant, and said, "Actually, it's pretty good." ”

"Yes, my father's dragon is not in good health and can't be tired, so it's better to simply retire and retire to live in retirement, so that we can do our filial piety as sons. I didn't think it before, but it only happened after I stepped down from the crown prince, in fact, life can be very easy. Presumably, without those troubles in the future, our life will be more pleasant. ”

"Listen to Your Highness."

"In the future, I will guard you and my daughter, and we will be a family of three and Lele, just like the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister. I really hope that my body can support me for a few more years, and I can see An An grow up, get married, and have children......" Mu Yuanzhang sighed, with a longing light in his eyes.

Ruan Ling'er hurriedly said: "Your Highness will definitely live a long life, you see that your body is much better now than last year." An An is still young, she can't live without her father, concubine, concubine... Nor can I do without His Highness......"

Mu Yuanzhang patted her back soothingly, and said softly: "I will definitely live a long life, if I don't see An An grow up, how can I leave willingly." And I can't bear to ...... you."

I never felt that it was a beautiful thing to be alive before, I only felt that it was a heavy burden, very tired, very tired, but now I wish I could live a long time. No wonder people say that people's hearts are unpredictable, who would have thought that it would take less than a year for him to change his mind.

Ruan Ling'er leaned quietly in Mu Yuanzhang's arms, looking at her daughter in the car, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

She thought they would be happy, they would.

*

After the two concubines were exiled from Beijing, everyone's eyes couldn't help but be on the harem.

Since the defeat of King Zhao and King Cheng were captured, Empress Xiao and Concubine Liu Guifei were imprisoned in their respective palaces. Now that the curtain has gradually fallen, presumably these two will not be pleased, you must know that if there was no cooperation between these two inside and outside that day, King Zhao and King Cheng would not have attacked the palace so quickly.

As expected, Emperor Chengyuan soon issued an order, stripped the two of them of their titles, demoted them to concubines, and filled the court.

This result is not surprising, Emperor Chengyuan's methods have always been so ruthless, in fact, directly giving death can preserve the last dignity of the two. Fill the court? I'm afraid that in the future, I will only be better off than dead.

But so what? Nobody pays attention to that.

Xiao Shu and Liu Shu naturally made trouble for a while, but Emperor Chengyuan didn't see them, and the people below also knew that these two had no room to turn over, and the two of them would not have the respect they had before.

Cheng Wenjing's wedding date was originally scheduled for August, but there was a change in Beijing, so it could only be postponed.

Now that the dust has settled, the Cheng family has not been involved, and they have begun to talk about their daughter's marriage again.

Ning Zefeng has no elders, and his home is not in Chang'an City, so the Cheng family can only help manage the trivial matters of the wedding, but fortunately, the Cheng family treats Ning Zefeng like their own children, and they don't pay attention to anything.

Jiu Niang now lives in the palace and has a big belly, but her only friend is married, and she wants to show up. not only added makeup to Cheng Wenjing in advance, but also attended as the crown princess on the wedding day.

For the Cheng family to marry their daughter into such a family, it is natural that some people will talk about it or watch jokes in private, it can be seen that the crown princess treats Cheng Wenjing so kindly, and this kind of joke-like discussion disappeared almost overnight.

Yes, the daughter of the Cheng family is indeed not very well married, but who can say that people will not be good in the future. If there is no accident, this princess is the queen in the future, and with such a relationship, the future of the son-in-law of the Cheng family is not worried.

So many critical words and strange eyes, all turned into admiring eyes, Cheng Wenjing's wedding day, the scene was very lively, and the furniture of people with heads and faces in Chang'an City came.

The Wang family also came, but their faces were astringent, and their words and deeds were very low-key. Although the Wang family was not involved in this case of rebellion against the king, due to the identity of Mrs. Wang, the Wang family was also sealed for nearly half a month, until it was confirmed that the Wang family had nothing to do with the rebellion case, and the ban was lifted.

During this time, the Wang family was very lively, and they all exploded. As the daughter of Princess Changping, Mrs. Wang's family was sealed because of her, so she naturally became the target of public criticism. Mrs. Wang's explanation was useless, and she was sick on the couch, and at the same time, the housekeeping power was also taken back by Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's status in the Wang family has plummeted, and many people in other rooms want to encourage Wang Hu to divorce his wife, if it weren't for Mrs. Wang giving birth to two sons and a daughter, one of whom is the eldest son of the Wang family, and another daughter Although she is not the crown princess now, she is still Princess Hui, this time she is really divorced.

After this series of blows, Mrs. Wang has aged dozens of years out of thin air, who may she blame? can only complain.

At this time, witnessing the festive and noisy scene of the Cheng family, Mrs. Wang smiled on her face and felt astringent in her heart.

She couldn't help but think that if there was no Xiao Ru to make trouble, she insisted on letting Shiro marry Cheng Wenjing, I am afraid that this qiē in front of her should belong to her son. With this level of relationship between the Cheng family, those people in the Wang family will always be scruples, and Mrs. Wang will not ignore her own face, and she will not be robbed of her stewardship.

And his Shiro will not be decadent because he married the daughter of the Xue family, and his future is uncertain.

Yes, this time the case of rebellion against the king involved many people, and the Xue family was also involved. The head of the Xue family, as the head of the household, used the power in his hands to seek personal gain for the king behind him. The king fell, and the fate of the Xue family was not much better, although it did not end up with a full family beheaded, but the whole family was exiled.

With the temperament of the Wang family, they naturally want to fall into the well, and try their best to let Wang Shilang divorce his wife so as to clear up the relationship. Wang Shilang is usually a very gentle person, but this time he rarely persevered and did not divorce his wife. But because of the relationship between the Xue family, he was implicated and lost his official position not long ago, so he could only stay at home, and he had long since lost his original spirit.

A deafening burst of firecrackers rang out, and the clamor of people poured out into the front yard.

A well-dressed servant woman walked up to Mrs. Wang and said, "Mrs. Wang, the groom has come to greet him, and my wife invites you in." ”

Mrs. Wang pressed the sourness in her heart, nodded with a forced smile, and followed the servant woman inside.

In the hall, Cheng Wenjing was dressed in a dark cyan large-sleeved Zhai robe, woven with Zhai pattern five grades, and wore a flower hairpin, five trees, two temples and five treasures. At that time, the wedding was the most important event in life, and you had to wear the dress that matched the best of your class. Of course, this is only for the wives of official families, or women with their own titles, and ordinary daughters are not included.

Ning Zefeng, as a guerrilla general of the fifth grade, Cheng Wenjing naturally has a corresponding life dress. Of course, for a military general who came to Chang'an from the border pass, the Ministry of Rites naturally did not pay attention to it, even if he acted according to the regulations, it would be procrastinating. However, with this relationship between the Cheng family, and Jiu Niang personally greeted her, the Ministry of Rites sent Cheng Wenjing's life clothes over early.

Wearing the wedding dress, Cheng Wenjing's whole person seems to be much more stable. Today she wore makeup, snow cheeks and jade cheeks, Qiong nose and red lips, and there was a brightness that she didn't have in the past.

"Dad, mother......"

Cheng Wenjing held a green gauze fan in her hand, and looked at the Cheng family couple sitting in the first place with teary eyes. Cheng Jiyang is okay, he is a man after all, but his face is full of excitement, and Mrs. Cheng has already cried, frequently wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, today is your big day, don't mess with your makeup."

"yes, it's time to be happy."

"The crown princess is still here, don't make people laugh."

Some female relatives on the side persuaded one after another, these people are some of the relatives of the Cheng family, and they are here to marry today.

Jiuniang took a silk handkerchief and handed it into Cheng Wenjing's hand, and quipped: "It's rare that I came to give you a wedding today, don't scare the child in my belly." ”

After Jiu Niang's joke, Cheng Wenjing burst into tears and laughed, took the handkerchief and dipped the tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Jiuniang ......"

Jiuniang patted her hand comfortingly: "Okay, I can't stay for a long time, and when there are more people, my body will not be convenient." You're good, it's a relief to your uncle and aunt, don't be sad, it's not that you can't come back in the future. ”

The two said a few more words, Jiu Niang nodded to everyone, and left surrounded by a group of palace attendants.

The rest of the people put on an envious smile again, and said to Cheng Wenjing one after another, saying that she is really blessed, with a close friend like the crown princess, and a good life is ahead. He also boasted that the Cheng family and his wife would raise a daughter, and so on.

Outside, there was another burst of firecrackers, and there was a commotion from afar, but it was the groom who came to pick up the bride. Cheng Wenjing was also surrounded by all the women, covered her face with a fan, and walked out of the door on the red carpet.

For a while, the scene was noisy again, with congratulations, congratulations, exclamations, and begging for red envelopes.

Wang Shilang, as a relative of the woman's family, was naturally present at this time, he stood in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the woman's family.

It is said that the crown princess is also here today......

But Wang Shilang didn't see the beautiful shadow.

His face couldn't help but show a touch of sourness, and then he disappeared again, forcing a smile.

With the same expression as Wang Shilang, there was also Mrs. Wang, who looked at the qiē in front of her astringently.

Who is to blame? I can only complain.

……

Cheng Wenjing and his wife only stayed in Chang'an City for ten days, and then they had to rush to Huiguan, Ning Zefeng asked for leave to come to Chang'an to marry, and naturally wanted to go back when the time came.

On the day Cheng Wenjing left, Jiuniang didn't send her, she felt that she probably couldn't stand that kind of farewell occasion, and now her body is not convenient, so she only let the people around her send a lot of things over.

At the same time, the Xiao family has finally finished handling all the affairs, and it is time for the family to help the spirit back to Lanling.

Outside Chang'an City, in the Xiao family's convoy, the people who looked back at Chang'an City were not alone.

Xiao Siniang also followed her family back to Lanling this time, at this time she was calm, in fact, it was good to go back to Lanling, presumably she would have a new start there......
