Volume 1: Above the Temple, Chapter 125: The Father's Son's Conversation Again (Part II)
Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a satisfied face, and did not hide the pride and relief in her heart...... After staring straight at it for a long time, I saw that the corners of Mu Qingen's eyes were slightly moist, and he murmured in his heart: "Xin'er, Huang'er has grown up, except for the eyebrows and eyes that are the same as you, even the wisdom and wisdom are with you...... You can rest easy over there. β
"Father." Mu Qiuhuang looked at Mu Qingen with a concerned expression.
Mu Qingen came to her senses when she heard this, and said with a loving face: "I'm fine, but I suddenly remembered your mother." I'm glad that you've really grown up today, and I'll be able to explain to your mother when I go there......"
"Father." Mu Qiuhuang called softly, but he didn't know what to say.
Everything he is today is due to his father's deep affection for her mother, although he has no memory of his mother in his mind, but after all these years, his mind also fantasizes about the appearance of a perfect mother...... For the affection between his parents, he felt good from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, he thought of Princess Changling again, and he had already planned to tell his father about the connection between Princess Changling and the palace. But at this point, he was a little hesitant. The reason is just as said before, Princess Changling and his father have also had a husband and wife relationship for more than ten years, and he has to admit that Princess Changling has done an impeccable job in the position of "wife", and to a large extent fulfilled the responsibilities of a wife for her mother...... His father could never forget his deceased mother for so long, let alone Princess Changling, who got along with him day and night? He couldn't bear to spoil the beauty between husband and wife in his father's heart, no matter what, Princess Changling's affection for his father should be true, this can't be faked...... But if he didn't say it, what if his father would be hurt because of it?
"What are you thinking?" Just when Mu Qiuhuang was in a dilemma, Mu Qingen suddenly asked.
"That's it! I still mention that I am going to go out to travel the rivers and lakes later, and I am not in this Hou Mansion, so it is good to let my father have a vigilance in his heart. β
After making up his mind, Mu Qiuhuang said carelessly: "The incense on my aunt's body is the same as the incense on the little emperor's body. β
Sure enough, after Mu Qingen heard this, the smile on the corner of her lips gradually faded, and her face slowly became heavy.
Mu Qiuhuang didn't dare to disturb when he saw this, and through his father's performance, he knew that his father didn't know anything about this matter before.
After a long time, Mu Qingen raised her head and looked at Mu Qiuhuang, and said seriously: "In the more than ten years since she married Beiyu, she has never failed me. β
"The child knows that the child has no other meaning, just to tell his father that my aunt has treated me very well for so many years." Mu Qiuhuang also said sincerely.
When Mu Qingen heard this, he also glanced at Mu Qiuhuang gratefully, and said calmly: "Do you remember what your father told you a year ago?" β
Without waiting for Mu Qiuhuang to reply, Mu Qingen continued to repeat the words of the past: "Huang'er, remember that no matter what decision you make in the future, your father will support you...... You have to remember that you are the heir to Beiyu that your father has chosen from beginning to end. β
"Hmmm! Remember, child. Mu Qiuhuang nodded.
Regarding the matter of Princess Changling, the father and son talked about it briefly, and they didn't waste too much foam on it.
As in the conversation between the two, up to now, Princess Changling has never done anything that failed Beiyu, let alone sorry for their father and son. And in order to marry Mu Qingen, she was even more "Golden Palace wept blood and broke with the first emperor", regardless of whether there was a conspiracy behind this matter, at least she had a great merit at that time, because she prevented a big war from happening. What's more, Mu Qingen is a long-term lover. Since he can never forget his deceased wife who has been dead for many years, for the affection between him and his deceased wife, he established Mu Qiuhuang as the son, even when Mu Qiuhuang's qi sea was abolished, he still never moved the idea of replacing people; He has been able to retain the position of the "wife" of his deceased wife for so many years. But at the same time, it is precisely because he is a long-term lover that he actually has an apology for Princess Changling in his heart. Not to mention that there are some grievances in being a wife as Princess Changling, Princess Changling has fulfilled the duty of a wife since she married to Beiyu for so many years, which makes him feel ashamed; Mu Qiulin is also his biological son, but he does not treat these two sons equally...... In my heart, this is not fair to Princess Changling's mother and son.
And Mu Qingen also made Mu Qiuhuang's words very clear, no matter what he does in the future, Mu Qingen will support him.
The heart that Mu Qingen gave him was very heavy... It's heavy.
β¦β¦
"By the way, father, I'm going to travel in a few days." Mu Qiuhuang opened his mouth and said, breaking away from this heavy atmosphere.
"When was the decision made?" Mu Qingen asked.
"I made a decision before I came back this time." Mu Qiuhuang explained: "On the one hand, as I said before, if I travel abroad, I can ease the princes' wariness of us, and on the other hand, the child still has some private affairs to deal with, and I have to go to the rivers and lakes. β
"Hmm!" Mu Qingen nodded and said, "Where are you going?" β
"The child may have to go to Tingzhou first......" Mu Qiuhuang said the whole thing about Ji Ruoxue's possible appearance in Tingzhou City.
"Hmm." Mu Qingen advised: "Anyway, the matter between you and Miss Ji still has to be handled properly, at least before the marriage is withdrawn, she is still your nominal fiancΓ©e, then you have to be responsible for her safety, and you have to send her back to Qinlu safely." β
"The child understands." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and agreed.
"By the way, has Mr. Gu sent any news back?" Mu Qingen asked.
"At present, there is no news about Mr. Gu in Dongxue, but with Mr. Gu's skills, there should be no problem." Mu Qiuhuang replied truthfully, since he witnessed the whole process of besieging and killing the Sword Immortal, Mu Qiuhuang also had a deeper understanding of the title of "Sword Immortal", and he didn't think that in Miao Jiang, he could find so many masters to besiege and kill Gu Chenyuan at the same time.
"It's good to have Dongxue keep an eye on it, if we can pull Mr. Gu into our camp, then the momentum of my Beiyu Marquis Mansion will go further...... After all, there are only a few people at the level of Sword Immortals, and the relationship between Dao Sword Immortal and Xilie Marquis Mansion is needless to say, and now there are only Crazy Sword Immortals and Qinglian Sword Immortals left. Mu Qingen continued.
"Hmmm! The child understands that in the child's planning, Miao Jiang was going to go. Mu Qiuhuang replied.
Mu Qingen continued to ask, "I see that you seem to have a close relationship with the Buddha of Futu Temple?"
"Well, Wuxin is a friend of the child, and at the same time, the Daozi on Wudang Mountain, the Qingya Daoist also has a good personal relationship with the child." Mu Qiuhuang said.
"Really?" After hearing this, Mu Qingen thought for a while, and said: "I don't object to you befriending both Buddhism and Taoism at the same time, but you have to remember that the great monks of the Buddhist sect are far from being as compassionate as they say, and they will not be soft when they really do things of selfishness and killing...... Also, although they have a good reputation in the Central Plains over the years, and there are many believers, they belong to the foreign Hoover after all, and the origin is long and the overall strength inheritance is still not as good as the native Taoist, you have to choose well in this, don't affect your judgment because of personal emotions. β
"Father, don't worry, there will be a clear separation between public and private." Mu Qiuhuang assured, then thought about it and said, "By the way, when the child went to the imperial capital this time, he also met the national teacher, that is, the Daoyan ancestor of Longhu Mountain......
After listening to Mu Qiuhuang's explanation, Mu Qingen commented: "Longhu Mountain naturally has real talent and real learning, and it is enough to call it a miracle if Boya Zhenren can make a judgment for six hundred years in one sentence." It's just that the change of dynasties and the rotation of the sun and the moon are all fixed numbers. Since we have inherited Zhang Xian's favor, we still have to be partial in our hearts. However, these don't need us to interfere too much, between Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain and even Buddhism, the relationship between the three of them is like today's court and princes, and they will also decide a high and low ......" Speaking of this, Mu Qingen paused and reminded: "Remember, no matter what you say, the divine right can only be a subsidiary foil, once they are not satisfied with their duties, then they will kill mercilessly." You know, once theocracy and politics are combined, it is extremely terrible, because they have faith, and people with faith are generally not afraid of life and death, and do crazy things......"
"Remember, child." Mu Qiuhuang nodded in response.
"Hmm." Mu Qingen nodded, he was also extremely relieved about Mu Qiuhuang's comprehension and acting skills, after some warning, he believed that his son would do everything beautifully.
Mu Qingen stared at Mu Qiuhuang for a while, and then advised: "You still have to bring enough guards around you when you go out this time, I want to allocate another thousand blood phoenix flags to you, and you also bring the 'Charm and Spirit', and the Pavilion Slave also brings a few ......."
"You don't have to be so excited, right?" Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled, you must know that this time when he went to the imperial capital, the guards around him were only Ling Hu Ji and his three hundred personal soldiers.
Mu Qingen shook his head and said, "This time is different from last time. Let's take it, although now the sword fairy has been cut off, but now that you are above the bright side, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some people who are not afraid of death, and in other words, if you say that change will change, once the sky changes, you are in the whirlpool, and everything still has to be careful...... As for the power in your hands, let's hide it for now! After all, they are in the shadows, and they can be used as surprise soldiers in the future. β
"Alright! Thank you father. Mu Qiuhuang nodded and agreed, although he didn't plan to use his private power, but after his father reminded him, he was suddenly surprised.
Mu Qingen smiled and said, "Don't be busy transferring, don't worry, no one else knows about this matter except for me." You have to trust their abilities......"
Mu Qiuhuang was also relieved when he heard this, the "they" in Mu Qingen's mouth referred to the Blood Phoenix Banner that went to Mangdang Mountain with Mu Qiuhuang at the beginning, of course, they have now been removed from the Blood Phoenix Banner.
β¦β¦
Before going out, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, ...... second brother?"
Mu Qingen stared at him and smiled strangely: "I didn't think you could endure it forever?" β
Mu Qiuhuang smiled when he heard this.
Mu Qingen replied: "He will continue to go to Loulan with the third child." β
"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang was also relieved when he heard this.
