The three generations of the Mu family talk about things in the old lady's room, which is generally an important matter.

Mu Zhen's father Mu Sheng was talking: "King Zhao is a prince, and he is very favored by the saints, but now he doesn't even have a son. After getting married, Zhen'er will be the princess of Zhao, as long as she gives birth to a son, she will be the eldest son of the prince of Zhao and will be the prince in the future. Zhen'er will live well for the rest of her life. ”

Her mother, Chen, also seemed to see that Mu Zhen was sullen, and then she also looked at Mu Zhen and said softly: "You are not very old, and you don't understand a lot of things." People will change, and what you value now, in a few years you will understand that it is because of your youth and ignorance. Listen to your father's words, and you won't suffer. ”

When her parents spoke, Mu Zhen usually didn't answer rudely, but now she didn't respond to anything.

Somehow, she didn't feel happy at all, and her heart was flustered. But she didn't rebel either, this kind of thing should have been decided by her parents, everyone is like this, Mu Zhen has no reason to resist...... Daddy and mother spoke to her first, and she was already very fond of her. Maybe they think that their daughter is going to marry off and become a member of another family, or even become a princess, so they treat Mu Zhen much more politely.

Like Mu Zhen's younger brother Mu Bin, he doesn't even have the qualifications to come to discuss, and he doesn't know anything. He was only ten years old, but who he wanted to marry, his grandmother and his father had already decided.

At this time, Mrs. Geng said: "Since the emperor has sent someone down to say it, can Sheng'er still refuse?" The eunuch claims to be looking for you to consult, but if you don't follow the emperor's wishes, the emperor will definitely be unhappy. ”

"Mother has a point." Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Besides, this is a great thing for Mu Fuben!" If the Mu Mansion marries the royal family and the Marquis of Xincheng, the Mu family's future situation will be very different. Why did the son rebel against God? ”

Mu Zhen listened, and didn't dare to say half a word. My father and mother also ignored her, probably thinking that she was too shy to speak.

Old Madam Geng said in a deep voice: "The King of Han probably left in June last year, and now it is only February, and I heard that he is about to pacify the kingdom of Annan......"

When Mu Zhen heard King Han, her ears also felt a little more refreshed, and she held her breath and listened. She had been keeping her head down just now, and she couldn't help but look up at her grandmother at this time.

Old Madam Geng hesitated slightly, and finally whispered after looking around: "Is the emperor worried that the power of the Han King in Yunnan is too great?" ”

Mu Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "In the morning, my son suddenly heard the eunuch talking about marriage, and he thought about it like his mother. But after thinking about it, the son felt that there was another possibility. ”

"Oh?" The old lady said.

Mu Sheng said: "There is ambition in the four seas, and there is a son-in-law Han Wang who can fight well." So the saint may have wanted to use the king of Han elsewhere...... For example, Mongolian. In this way, the king of Han will change his title. Yunnan is located on the border, and someone must guard it, and now that Jianwenjun has collapsed, the saint may have remembered the Mu family again. ”

Old Madam Geng nodded frequently after hearing this: "This also makes sense." ”

Mu Sheng said: "No matter what, the only way out for our Mu family now is to gain the trust of the imperial court." My mother and my wife had no objection to this matter, and I returned to the palace as soon as possible. ”

Mu Zhen's grandmother and mother-in-law almost didn't hesitate, and they all agreed. As for the person involved, Mu Zhen, it seems that she doesn't have much power to speak.

Her little hands clenched the corners of her skirt tightly, and for a moment, her teeth bit hard, her eyes glazed over, and she raised her head with her chest straightened...... But in an instant, she hung her head again weakly.

That year, my mother took their sister and brother to hide in Tibet, and they couldn't live in fear; That year, my father stayed at home and waited for the sake of his family. Mu Zhen still remembers the desperate expression with a hint of hope in her father's eyes, and the determination to be the last to be for the family.

Mu Zhen never felt that her father was ruthless. She was so upset that sometimes she even felt that what her parents said was right.

It's not that she didn't disobey her father, she used to secretly go out to watch a play and meet her cousin Geng Hao, which was not something that made her father and mother happy. But Mu Zhen didn't have so many scruples, and at that time she always thought that she could be like Cui Yingying in "The Legend of the West Chamber...... But the later results made Mu Zhen understand that most of the things that her parents opposed were not good things in the first place!

Rao thought so, Mu Zhen's mood was still very depressed.

After the family discussed it, they left Mrs. Geng's room. Mu Zhen can't even remember how she got out. She was as drunk as she was, and she was completely confused......

Spring blooms in February, and the weather in Yunnan is very bright. The sun outside the room was bright, but Mu Zhen still felt that the sky seemed to be gray. Even the flowers she usually likes bloom beautifully, but now she dislikes the red, white, and green branches that are too complex in color, making people dizzy.

In fact, being the princess of King Zhao or the concubine of King Han is nothing to compare, and everyone in the Mu family has never considered it. And Princess Zhao Wangxiu may not be able to have the final say, Mu Zhen understands that most of this kind of thing is decided by her parents, and it cannot be proved that King Zhao is unkind.

Mu Zhen couldn't convince herself, she was very confused. Ever since Mufu was in danger, she hadn't thought about her personal affairs until she was going to get married.

She had one thing hidden in her heart, that time she saw King Han in private, and took off her clothes in front of him. When Mu Zhen thought about it, her face immediately began to burn again...... King Han promised not to speak out. Because of this, you can't let go of King Han and resist King Zhao who has just been mentioned?

It was supposed to be just a transaction. Although Mu Zhen also values Qingyu, just because of this, she must be committed to him for the rest of her life. That doesn't seem to be the case.

Mu Zhen remembered a lot of messy clips. The first thing that came to mind was a recent encounter, when the King of Han had a conversation with her father in Shen Yuan before he set out for Annan. King Han said seriously that he wanted to think for all the people in the world, and Mu Zhen understood that her father didn't believe such words; Mu Zhen believed King Han's eyes.

That wonderful feeling came to Mu Zhen's heart again, and she felt not only benevolence and compassion, but also something awe-inspiring......

and that confused "dedication", Mu Zhen was very ashamed when she thought about it, but she was not uncomfortable at that time. King Han's gaze was full of pity and gentleness. Thinking of this, Mu Zhen felt even more shameless, and her chest also made a "bang" sound. At that time, the king of Han quickly avoided his gaze, and his surprise and worry made him raise his hand to help her pick up her clothes, as if he was in sight.

In a trance, Mu Zhen seemed to be upstairs in the pear garden...... King Han held the assassin's sword with his hand! The big firm and steady hand, dripping with blood. Mu Zhen still has a heart palpitation when she thinks about it.

I don't know when she felt very safe and relieved by King Han's side. She remembered the reassuring feelings, and she remembered the gentle looks...... The thought of being a princess and princess can't keep her from being lost; Because once she became Princess Zhao, she could no longer feel that peace of mind and gentleness.

So when I recalled, the blandness of the first meeting seemed so interesting. At that time, Mu Zhen thought that she could fool him by pretending to be a man, and stupidly called herself a little brother.

It's as if it's back to the carefree days of a few years ago. Mu Zhen remembered all kinds of past events, wiped her tears, and laughed alone, her heart still hurt so much that she couldn't help herself.

That's when she realized that she didn't need to find the reason and think about why she was the way she was. That time her reputation was damaged, and she thought that she was sacrificing herself for the whole family of Mufu; However, if it weren't for the fact that she already had that person in her heart, would she really do it?

Mu Zhen used to be interested in Geng Hao because she had long known that she and Geng Hao had a marriage contract; And she likes the play of "The Legend of the West Chamber" too much, she yearns for the beautiful scene in the play, as if she is imitating the story in the play.

Zhu Gaoxu broke in, but told her to be unprepared. Everything quietly began, progressed, and ended, and Mu Zhen didn't even know when her heart began to change slowly......

How nice it would be if people could only think about themselves, if they could make their own decisions!

…… Xiping Hou Musheng couldn't wait to meet the eunuch in the palace again.

The two of them sat down as guests, and Mu Sheng pretended to be calm and said: "The people of the Mu family all say that they must not live up to the holy Longen, I think so. Don't dare to refuse the grace of God. ”

The eunuch smiled indifferently, nodded and said, "Our family understands, we will leave Yunnan tomorrow and return to Beijing to resume our lives." ”

Mu Sheng said: "My father-in-law finally came to Yunnan, I sent someone to accompany my father-in-law to walk around, and it would be okay to return to Beijing in a few days." ”

"Xipinghou is kind, our family understands it. The emperor's errand matters. The eunuch waved his hand and muttered for a moment, as if he had something to say.

Mu Sheng saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything immediately.

Sure enough, the eunuch spoke: "Our family has long known that Xiping Hou would reply like this. ”

Mu Sheng said: "Yes." I didn't hesitate, I just wanted to tell my mother. ”

The eunuch said again: "Then why don't you send Ling Gongzi to live in Beijing for a while?" The son is in Beijing, and he can be accompanied by the emperor and grandson, reading and riding horses together, just like the King of Qianning and Prince Yiwen (Zhu Biao, the first year of Yongle changed "Emperor Xiaokang" to "Prince Yiwen") are as close as brothers, which is also a good story. ”

The eunuch became more and more polite, and said with a flattering tone, "If you can meet Zhang Fu's daughter, you can get to know each other first, haha!" ”

Because the eunuch was smiling, Mu Sheng was also smiling ugly...... His heart was immediately like a mirror.

What is the companion, Mu Bin went to Beijing to be a hostage at all. Mu Sheng guessed from this that the King of Han might really be retitled and moved out of Yunnan; At that time, Mu Sheng was dominant in Yunnan, so it was necessary to send his son to Beijing as a hostage!

Mu Sheng was a little reluctant, Bin'er was only ten years old, and he was still not very sensible. Mu Sheng was not very relieved that he would go far away.

But now that it's here, what is the alternative? Send Mu Bin to Jingshi, and there may be a holy decree. Mu Sheng felt that hesitation was useless, so he nodded immediately and said with a heart: "This is a good thing!" ”
