Chapter 1 Marriage
"Duanmu! Give Miss Ben a thump in the leg. The girl sat on the stone bench with an arrogant tone, this is the second lady Mu Qingxi, who looks beautiful and beautiful, and her singing voice is crisp and tactful.
"Yes, Second Miss." People dressed like thick girls moved back and forth in the courtyard.
"Duanmu! Go and help me take the kite off the tree. Standing under the big tree and pointing to the top of the tree is the third lady, slender and radiant.
"Yes, Miss Four." Immediately take the ladder and climb the tree to reach for the kite.
Duanmu has been submissive since he was sensible, surviving hard in Mufu, and living a subordinate life as a young lady.
Duanmu is the third lady of Mu Mansion, and her mother is a rough girl in the house, because of her outstanding appearance and some intelligence, she was treated differently by Mu Zhongtian, a bachelor of Hanlin, but it is a pity that her status is low, and she is pregnant before marriage, and the old lady of the Mu family heard that she can't tolerate her, so her mother hanged herself when Duanmu was six years old.
Duanmu's mother has been miserable all her life, she has never been recognized by the Mu family, Duanmu has never been treated well, and now six out of ten have never had her own Mu family surname, and she has been named after her mother's surname since she was born. Mu Fu has been begging for children for many years, but he has five talented and beautiful daughters.
The Imperial Study
The emperor was reviewing the chapters, and looked at the ministers below from time to time, "My third son is nearly thirty years old, not to mention the princess, there is not even a room for a concubine, I am also very anxious, I don't know which Aiqing can share my worries." β
The four of them immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The ministers are incompetent. β
Then the four of His Highness were silent.
The Emperor continued to pretend to approve it, "Lord Yuwen? β
Yu Wenhao of the Military Aircraft Department, "Back to the emperor, the minister has a daughter, but she has already been married." β
Prime Minister Zuo Shu's eyes glanced around, and the four ministers also had daughters in their own and Mu Zhongtian's family, the youngest daughter was not yet six years old, and their eldest daughter was about to arrive, so they had to think of excluding their own daughters, "Back to the emperor, there are five daughters in the family of Lord Mu, and the eldest is only eighteen, and at the beginning of this year, he was matched with the eldest son of the household servant's family, and the youngest is eleven or twelve years old. β
"Oh?! Lord Mu? "Pretend to be surprised.
Mu Zhongtian of the Hanlin Academy was trembling and sweating profusely, "The ministers γγγand ministers are not talented, and I am afraid that they are not worthy of the three princes." β
Yu Wenhao immediately understood the emperor's intentions, "The emperor must set the family matter, and the prime minister must not be offended." β
hurriedly echoed it, "How come, I heard that Lord Mu's daughters are all talented and beautiful, do you think that the prince is not worthy of your daughter?" β
Mu Zhongtian knelt down with a thud, "The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare." β
The emperor also tried his best to be the emperor, "Alas~ Aiqing, don't talk nonsense, how can Mu Aiqing." β
The emperor can be said to be forced to marry with a face, "I believe that Aiqing's daughter must be one in a hundred, and tomorrow morning I will wait for Aiqing's table, and it will be an auspicious day in half a month, and I will get married immediately." Aiqing won't refute my kindness. β
Mu Zhongtian burst into tears, "The ministers are grateful." β
The four of them left the imperial study
"Congratulations to Lord Mu for receiving this holy grace."
The three people outside the hall spoke coldly, Mu Zhongtian had no idea, and none of the four daughters in the family could bear to push into the fire pit.
When he returned home, he summoned his wife and daughter to discuss who would be sent to the third prince by the holy decree this time.
Mu Qingxi ran over delicately, "Daddy called us here to take us out to play?" β
Mu Zhongtian frowned, and Mrs. Mu became anxious, "What's wrong with the master." β
"The emperor wants to choose a concubine for the prince from our family."
Mrs. Mu was overjoyed, "This is a good thing, grandpa, from now on, we will be relatives of the emperor and the country." β
Mu Wanxi rushed forward, "Yes, Daddy, this is a good thing, my sister and I went to the palace to win glory for our family." β
"Shut up, what do you know, these three princes led troops to fight at the age of thirteen, and they were injured in their early years, and they hurt their origin to the point that they are not a long-lived and hundred-year-old lord, but they are afraid that their daughters will pass, and it will be difficult to add anyone if they want to have children and grandchildren."
Mu Zhongtian shook his head and sighed, "What's more, these three princes are tyrannical and cruel on the battlefield, I don't know how many old and weak women and children have died at his hands, as long as it is a battle he has fought, it must be full of corpses." β
Several daughters lost their faces and figured out how to exclude themselves.
"He has been on the frontier for six years, and no one has ever committed, and it is very terrifying to hear that this man has a beard and a hideous face."
Mrs. Mu's tears immediately welled up, "Isn't that the emperor going to harm our daughter?" β
"Nonsense needs to be spoken, so as not to be taken by the handle."
Mu Qingxi threw herself to Mu Zhongtian's leg, "Daddy, I won't marry." β
Mu Wanxi didn't want to fall into the fire pit, "Daddy, I won't marry." β
Mu Chengxi didn't know when he walked in, "Didn't the two sisters always want to marry a royal nobleman, how did they hear that the three parents were ugly, so they didn't marry?" β
Mu Chengxi is the youngest daughter, cold and indifferent, holding poetry and books all day long, and looking down on the calculations of the little woman's family the most.
The four sisters of the Mu family looked at each other harmoniously, but in fact, they couldn't see each other as good as others.
Mu Qingxi looked at Mu Chengxi, "What you said is light, you don't have to marry, Dad~I won't marry~"
Mu Wanxi saw Mu Chengxi holding books all day long, hating her for not fighting for her mother.
"Master, you can't push your daughter into the fire pit."
Mrs. Mu and the two women wept and cried, howling and screaming.
"I'll marry."
The eyes of several people quickly gathered on the somewhat dirty and thin man at the door.
Mrs. Mu immediately came to her senses.
Duanmu knelt on top of the hall, "Master, madam, I'll marry." β
Mrs. Mu immediately grabbed this life-saving straw, "By the way, master, isn't this girl also the daughter of our Mu Mansion." β
Mu Zhongtian was a little hesitant, he didn't admit it because of his face, and suddenly he had an extra daughter, but he was afraid that the emperor would not be able to explain it, "This~"
Mrs. Mu followed Mu Zhongtian for many years and saw through the concerns at a glance, "Master, Mu Fu gave birth to her and raised her, she should also reciprocate, and she herself is the daughter of the Mu family, so she is not a bully." β
"I'm afraid it is."
"Master, that's the third son of the emperor, marrying such a meritorious prince, cheapening her."
Mu Qingxi hurriedly echoed her mother, "Daddy, let her marry." β
Mu Wanxi just wanted to exclude herself, "Yes, Daddy." β
"Master~ Are you willing to give up our daughter."
Mu Zhongtian thought about it, he and this woman really have a father-daughter relationship, and they can't have a good time here, so it is better to go to the palace to enjoy Qingfu, "Okay, tomorrow I will report to the court to give marriage." β
Wedding cards were quickly distributed everywhere.
During this time, Duanmu lived the most privileged life in the past sixteen years, with his own young lady's room, good food, drink and clothing, the name of the Mu family, and his own girl.
Duanmu sat in front of the window, "Mother, Mu'er is getting married, and Mu'er will no longer be called by the Mu family; But Mu'er can't accompany her mother here, don't blame her mother. β
On the day of the wedding, the prince of Nangong led the mighty welcoming team to Mufu, picked up the dressed Duanmu, and held a grand marriage ceremony, worshipping heaven and earth!
In the new room, Duanmu sat on the edge of the bed, and the bride explained to Duanmu the matters that need to be paid attention to at night in the cave room, Duanmu's cheeks were slightly red, "Thank you, Mother Zhang, I remember." β
The bride girl quit the new house, Duanmu sat and waited until the second half of the night, Duanmu knew in his heart, "He won't come." β
Duanmu sat all night, the sky was just bright, Duanmu took off the hairpin ring, took off the wedding dress, changed into regular clothes, combed his hair in a bun, and waited early to meet some of the husbands who had never seen each other.
The rooster crows to report the dawn, the next person is ready to come to dress up for Duanmu, the next person is ready to push open the door, and Duanmu opens it first.
The maid hurriedly said goodbye, "Say hello to the princess." β
Duanmu was a little uncomfortable, "Well, okay." β
"Let's freshen up the princess."
Duanmu didn't adapt to this sudden respect, "No need, Wang~"
"Come in."
Duanmu incredulously followed his subordinates into the inner room.
This is the first time Duanmu has seen Nangong Yi, Nangong Yi is tall and majestic, guarding the frontier all the year round, making his complexion bronze, and the beard on his face, accompanied by the war and wind and sand in the frontier, with a fierce vicissitudes of life.
Duanmu didn't know how to speak, "When did you come in?" β
The girl got busy, waited for Nangong Yi to wash, and set up a meal in the house.
Nangong Yi didn't answer Duanmu's question, "This king was drunk last night, and there is Princess Lao." β
Duanmu had long been accustomed to obedience, and he neither refuted nor felt strange, "This is a matter within the status of a concubine." β
Nangong Yi finished washing, "You guys go down." β
"Yes." The maid exited the room.
Duanmu was a little at a loss.
Nangong Yi was really hungry when he looked at the food, "Sit down and eat." β
Duanmu was a little restrained, "Yes." β
Nangong Yi lives outside the Saiwai all the year round, and there are not so many rules for eating, so he eats by himself, "Your name is Mu Yunxi." β
"Yes."
Nangong Yi stopped his chopsticks, "You're a little afraid of me." β
"No, I'm not used to it."
Nangong Yi continued to eat, "I didn't hear that the Mu family has a daughter like you." β
Duanmu finally picked up the chopsticks, "The concubine usually doesn't go out much. β
"Better not lie to me."
Nangong Yi put down his chopsticks, pulled up Duanmu at once, and held it in his arms, "Don't be afraid." β
Duanmu wanted to believe Nangong Yi very much, but the fear in his eyes was still difficult to hide, "I'm not afraid." β
Nangong Yi hugged Shu Yuanjun to the side of the bed, "Close your eyes, sit down, don't move no matter what you hear, don't look." β
Duanmu obediently sat on the edge of the bed, his hands nervously grasped the sheets, his eyes were tightly closed, and the sound of ping-pong and ping-pong in his ears kept coming into the room, the sound of heavy objects smashing furniture, and the sound of unbearable pain.
"Who sent you. Say! Nangong Yi didn't expect that these people had been hidden at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
The only seriously injured living mouth regarded death as if it were home, did not say a word, and committed suicide by biting on the poison that had been hidden in his mouth for a long time.
Nangong Yi summoned his personal guards, "Do your best!" β
