The Duchess of Anguo was a beautiful decorative vase in the palace of the former queen mother, and like other clan girls who were elected to the palace, everyone went to Yanshou Palace every ten days and a half to ask for peace, and they were given a seat together, and they were rewarded with some tea and fruit snacks.

They knew their identities and their "usefulness" in the palace, so they were very peaceful, obediently greeting and thanking each other, and obediently sitting aside to watch the family pleasures that only belonged to the real royal family.

That's right, the first queen mother would not be lonely even if she didn't have them, and there was no shortage of flattering princes and princesses under her knees, those real dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, when they were in the Yanshou Palace, they were also like the grandchildren of ordinary people, and they were taken by their mothers, saying flattering and beautiful words, and flattering their grandmothers.

Among them is the current saint who was still the prince at that time.

According to the impression of the Duchess of Anguo, the current saint was not conspicuous when he was the prince, except for being particularly good-looking, there was no impressive advantage, Duchess Anguo only remembered that most of the girls who lived in the palace with her were secretly in love with this particularly beautiful prince, but that's all, no one expected that he would be the emperor in the end.

But it's nothing, unexpected things always happen, Duchess An Guo herself didn't expect that after she left the palace, the first time she went out, she met a tall and handsome young man on the shore of Bibo Lake in Beijing. She didn't expect that this young man who fell in love with her at first sight by the lake would be Mu Chengyi, the eldest son of Anguo Mansion, and the future Anguo Gong.

The door is not the right household, even if the two are happy, what's the use?! She's a clan girl......

However, she didn't expect that the young man she loved would break the Mu family's consistent tradition for her, kneeling in front of her parents and begging them to agree to marry a clan girl. She didn't expect that she would get married less than a year after leaving the palace, and since then she has become one of the highest-ranking noblewomen in Beijing.

Most of the clan girls who were sent to the palace to accompany the former queen mother will leave the palace when they become adults, and the girls raised in these palaces have excellent rules, and they have the name of the queen mother's personal upbringing, and most of them will marry well after leaving the palace.

It's just that marrying a good marriage is two different things from marrying the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo, when the big families in Beijing thought that the Duchess of Anguo Li would follow the consistent tradition of the Mu family, find a side branch girl of the big family outside Beijing, or find an ordinary official girl with a weak background in Beijing to be a daughter-in-law! Unexpectedly, the former An Guogong and his wife would really compromise and agree to their son marrying a woman from a clan.

The daughter of the clan married into the Mu family, and the happiest thing was the royal family. As soon as the former Anguo Duke and his wife nodded and agreed to their son's marriage, the former emperor couldn't wait to raise Prince Li, so that he could change from an unappreciated clan branch to a prince, and the current Duchess of Anguo also hurriedly married into the Anguo Mansion with the title of county lord in less than a year after returning home, and became the chief daughter-in-law of the Anguo Mansion.

The marriage was in a hurry.

Mu Chengyi, who was still the eldest prince of the Anguo Mansion, was already twenty years old, he went to the battlefield at the age of eighteen, and returned to Beijing at the age of twenty.

Second, even if the Mu family is not in a hurry, the emperor is also in a hurry. The Holy Ancestor's testament, An Guogong and his wife finally relented and agreed to hire a daughter-in-law from a clan girl, and the emperor was eager to urge the marriage to be completed immediately, for fear that An Guogong would change his mind again.

Mu Chengyi's marriage was done in a hurry, and not long after his new daughter-in-law left the palace, she didn't even have time to embroider the dowry, and everything seemed to be in a hurry. But the two young couples who were newly baked back then didn't care, as long as they could be together, they didn't care about anything.

Mu Chengyi returned to the border four months after getting married, and his young wife stayed at home alone with her mother-in-law, waiting for her husband to return from the border every day.

And that's just the beginning.

A few years later, when their eldest son Mu Tieyi was born, the former Duke of An Guo had died on the battlefield, and Mu Chengyi took the title and became a new generation of Duke An Guo.

Before Tieyi was born, there were changes in the northern border pass, Mu Chengyi went to the front line in Yanzhou overnight, and his beloved wife A Luo gave birth to a child alone, and it was not until Mu Tieyi turned one year old that Mu Chengyi came back from the border pass.

Fortunately, in the past few years, the situation in the north has gradually stabilized, and An Guogong's expeditions are not as frequent as before, so he has more opportunities to stay by his wife's side, and he has the opportunity to watch his little daughter Hongshang be born with his own eyes.

Being the daughter-in-law of the Mu family is actually very hard. Duchess An Guo knew it on the first day she got married. She is bitter, and her mother-in-law and concubines are actually even more bitter. Their husbands guarded the northern border pass of the Great Zhou, guarding the first line of defense of the Nineteenth Department of Rong Di of the Great Zhou, and every time they went out, they fought with their lives, and maybe that parting would be the eternal secret.

She also knew why her in-laws would agree to marry her, a clan girl.

Although Mu Chengyi is the son of the head of the Anguo Mansion, he is also an ordinary general at the border of the north, as the Mu family guarding the north, he may not know which day, he will leave his life in the north, this is his fate as a Mu family, he must accept it.

Because of this, although Lao An Guogong and his wife were not satisfied with their daughter-in-law's background, they did not strongly oppose the marriage of the daughter of the clan. They hope that at least in marriage, their son will be happy.

Duchess An Guo knew in her heart that she was also grateful for her in-laws' understanding and fulfillment, so although she was a clan daughter whose mother's family was in Beijing and had a father who had been crowned a prince, she was still like other daughters-in-law of the Mu family, and had few contacts with her mother's family.

When he was young, he lived in the palace, and soon after he got out of the palace, he rarely interacted with his mother's family after marrying, and for nearly 20 years, the Duchess of Anguo and Prince Li were really not close, and she got along with her parents for a long time, and even had not been with her mother-in-law for a long time.

In recent years, the northern border has been stable, An Guogong was ordered to return to Beijing, and her mother's family treated her more and more politely, she occasionally accompanied her husband back to her mother's house once, and was treated like a guest by her mother's family.

Therefore, over the years, Duchess An Guo has walked around her parents' house less and less, and naturally she rarely brings her children to the door, so the iron clothes and red clothes have grown so big, and they really rarely go to their grandfather's house, and they are really not familiar with those uncles, aunts, cousins and sisters of their grandfather's family.

Going to her grandfather's house to pay homage to her birthday, for Hongshang, it seems that there is not much difference from going to other people's homes in Beijing to pay homage to her birthday, in short, she is happy, as long as she can go out with her mother, she is very happy.
