Xiang Xiang couldn't help but cover her sleeves and touch her waist and abdomen, it was indeed stronger than before, since she tampered with the holy decree to canonize herself as Prince Shuo and the princess, and danced for Qi Hui on the high drum, her waist and abdomen swelled rapidly, and her appetite was also very good these days, and she didn't have to bother cooking and boiling water by herself, and her cheeks were round when she saw the world.

"Master Jane, if you talk like this, I think you may not like girls on weekdays." The little queen said bluntly on the side, peeled an orange in her hand, carefully tore off the white tendons, and handed the plump and smooth orange to Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang loves to eat melons and fruits these days, but when Jian Feng said this, he didn't dare to eat them. She was afraid that she would become too fat, Qi Hui came back and was startled, if they were together every day, they would slowly look at the habits, and they would meet again after a long time, or fat or thin, they could see it at a glance.

"Sister, eat it, the doctor said you are too thin." The queen handed it to Xiang Xiang, and said to Jian Feng, "Master Jian, you have to be tactful when talking to girls, even if you want to say that your sister is fat, can you just say that your complexion is better?" ”

Jian Feng frowned, although he tried to reflect, he didn't feel inappropriate, at least he said this to Xiangxiang, it's okay.

Xiangxiang asked Jian Feng to step down, but remembering Mr. Mu's matter, he immediately instructed: "Don't tell Xi Niang first, otherwise she will run away again, and ah, do you know that you just can't speak, which always makes our little cousin angry." ”

Jian Feng stared, his lips moved and he didn't dare to say, after all, the queen was on the side, and on the way out of the middle palace, he muttered to himself: "Isn't it that she didn't like anything when she saw me, so I was welcome." ”

Having said that, he couldn't help but worry about them, whether it was Qi Hui or Shifeng, he still wanted to live in a world full of men, how would Mu Yin live. He didn't look down on women in the army, he just felt pity, but when he said it, Mu Yin's fiery temper made him feel that he was despised.

And at this moment, Mu Yin saw Mr. Mu, an uncle shouted to her tears, Mr. Mu is older than her father, so he called an uncle, and when she saw the elders in the clan, she had a real feeling of recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors, she and her uncle agreed to bring the people in the family who were still on the other side of the mountain back to Beijing, as for the uncle who was hungry for profit, how should the result be when the time came, he could not be soft-hearted.

Mr. Mu left Qi Hui a large number of machine bows and crossbows and artillery, which will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the three armies, and Mr. Mu even left the people left by his son to Qi Hui, telling him that these people are all masters, although they are not enough to fight with the army alone, if they want to infiltrate the enemy camp at a critical moment, they will definitely be useful.

Qi Hui was not polite, but insisted on leaving two people for his uncle, and sent his own people to send his uncle back to the capital, and what he and his uncle said in the end was: "Regardless of whether my cousin lives or dies, Xi Niang is a very important person to him, if my uncle can see Xi Niang, please comfort her." ”

Mr. Mu also returned to the capital with the mood of being able to meet his daughter-in-law, and since he identified the person chosen by his son, he would not mind her background.

The old gentleman got up from the wheelchair, walked into the city with a cane, and walked into the city gate on a pair of legs.

Xiangxiang knew that the Mu family had entered Beijing, and the queen had issued a decree in the name of the emperor to restore the Mu family's former titles and official positions, and the rewards would have to be made up after the war.

The Mu family, which has disappeared for 20 years, has returned in a low-key manner, which has made the courtiers who were afraid of the Mu family let go of their resistance a little. Moreover, at the moment of the war, the life and death of the Mu family's son are unknown, so no one will come to the court to make trouble and entangle with the queen who listens to the government.

But when Mr. Mu saw Xiangxiang and the queen, he said after greetings: "Now that the war is raging, they are watching the court and the royal family, once the battle situation on the front line changes, they will have to go their own way to try to leave and right or win over the two, one is defeated, there will definitely be a new force to rise up, trying to seize the throne or support the one who is paralyzed in the Mingde Palace." The second is to defeat, and will come to invite merit, trying to stand firm in the court when the new monarch ascends the throne in the future. The queen and the princess are at ease at the moment, and after a while, trouble will follow. ”

Xiangxiang said calmly: "With my uncle here, I have more confidence in my heart, we are a woman's family, but it is easy to deal with them." With the support of his uncle behind him, he will definitely be able to wait for Qi Hui to triumph. ”

The queen is not afraid of Xiangxiang, she is not afraid, just what should be said, Mr. Mu symbolically went to the Mingde Hall to "meet" the emperor, but in fact, he didn't even step into the door, he wanted to go back to the palace.

Xiangxiang followed him all the way and told him some family matters, but Mr. Mu smiled and said: "Goodbye princess, I don't dare to shout Xiangxiang again, anyway, there will always be a difference in status in the future, and we don't have to be too rigid about the title." The princess is now extraordinary, and she is no longer the little girl she saw that day. ”

Xiangxiang said suddenly: "It's only been a few months, and my uncle thinks highly of me." ”

Mr. Mu said: "A few months is enough to change a person, but some people can't change it for decades." ”

He took one last look at the Mingde Palace, this place that had abandoned him, he would never set foot again, and the Mu family would definitely do their best to build a more magnificent imperial city for the new monarch in the future.

Outside the imperial city, there were many officials who came to show favor to Mr. Mu, and Mr. Mu left the palace through another gate under the arrangement of Xiangxiang, he didn't want to contact anyone for the time being, and wanted to wait for his son to return, he believed that his son would not die under the landslide.

A carriage arrived in front of the palace, Jian Kaiwen took Jian Feng, and Shen Yan and Xi Niang were already waiting, Jian Kaiwen and Mr. Mu were the old days, and they would see each other again after twenty years, they were already gray-haired, and Mr. Mu had to rely on a wheelchair to move, so he was naturally full of emotion. The two of them went to the door, and there were many, many things to say, but they left Xi Niang, Shen Yan and others behind.

Jian Feng was warm-hearted, afraid that Xi Niang would be left out in the cold, so he ran forward and said to Mr. Mu: "Shibo, this is my cousin, this is ...... Brother Mu's sweetheart, Xi Niang. is also Qi Huiyi's sister to Jin Lan, and she has known Qi Hui for more than ten years and has been taking care of him. ”

His words were obviously hoping to reduce the impact of Xi Niang's fireworks woman's origin, but he didn't know that the old gentleman had already understood and accepted it, and only then did he forget the children on the side when he saw Jian Kaiwen, and then let the next person stop the wheelchair, turn around and take a closer look, and at a glance he could see the difference between Xi Niang and Shen Yan, and the beautiful people couldn't tell the age for a while, but Xi Niang had the arrogance of seeing through the world and laughing at the world, and Shen Yan was calm and quiet, full of the dignity of everyone's ladies, these temperaments soaked in the bones, It doesn't have to be deliberately expressed, and it can often be seen through by a discerning person.

"Uncle Mu." Shen Yan was blessed, and Xi Niang followed her.

Mr. Mu smiled kindly, rolled his wheelchair close to Xi Niang, and said gently: "After that, I will go to the Mujiayuan Mausoleum to pay respects, child, come with me when the time comes." ”

Mr. Mu said this to Xi Niang alone, and Shen Yan had consciously let go of some of it, Xi Niang's face flushed, her eyes were full of anxiety, and Mr. Mu said kindly: "The capital has changed a lot in the past 20 years, and the old man is afraid that he doesn't know the way, so it's good to show me the way." ”

Xi Niang finally said yes lightly, and didn't dare to look at Mr. Mu.

If she marries Mu Qing, Mr. Mu will be her future father-in-law, and she, a woman who wanders in the Qinglou, will also have family members and loving elders. But all this has to wait for Mu Qing to return, and even if Mu Qing returns, they may not be able to be together. Xi Niang always has a mustard in her heart, seeing that they are going to change the day, she, a dusty person, is even less worthy.

Jian Kaiwen stepped forward to push Mr. Mu's wheelchair, the two old men entered the door to talk, Shen Yan happily came to Xi Niang's side, and said softly: "Mr. Mu is so kind, sister, don't worry, Xiangxiang has already said that Mr. Mu knows, I think Mr. Mu has already decided ......"

"Mr. Shen, it's too early, right now." Xi Niang wanted to say cruel words, but thinking that Pang Shifeng and Mu Qing were the same as not seeing people alive and dead and not seeing corpses, Shen Yan had hope for her, that is, she had hope for Mu Qing Pang Shifeng, the words came to her mouth, and said to Shen Yan, "What to do when the aristocratic family sacrifices and sweeps, I don't understand, can Mr. Shen help me prepare together." ”

However, at this moment, thousands of miles away on the border, a great battle was about to break out, because of the landslide and the cracking, so that the enemy could drive straight in, they could not see the imperial army resisting here, and recaptured the previous cities, and wantonly searched for the remnants of the Emperor's * team, it seems that they really died under the landslide as rumored to be.

However, Mu Qing and Pang Shifeng were unharmed, although the earthquake caused them heavy casualties, but they were not at the foot of the mountain at that time, after the disaster, they saw the collapse of the mountain to open a natural passage, so they planned to take the risk and hide the surviving soldiers in the mountain.

Due to the aftershocks after the disaster, the enemy did not dare to go deep into the mountains to search for easily, they spent several days peacefully, and finally there were people who went to inquire about the news to send back the news, Prince Shuo led the troops to come, when the time came, he and the enemy army would attack head-on, Pang Shifeng and Mu Qing led the troops to outflank and encircle from the back two roads, cutting off their back roads.

But now everyone feels that they are dead, and they will not be able to get food and grass to survive the rest of the days, and the days they can hold on are becoming fewer and fewer.

This night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the mountains are exceptionally quiet, and occasionally there will be vibrations that cause panic in people's hearts, and even birds and animals dare not move.

Mu Qing got a pot of wine from his subordinates, and brought it to Pang Shifeng, but Pang Shifeng stood on the mountain rock and looked at the starlight in the distance in the dark night, which was the bonfire lit in the place where the enemy invaded, I don't know if they sang and danced, celebrating the victory without a fight.

"Drinking?" Mu Qing raised the flask and asked, and immediately said, "This pot of wine is turbid wine, and it can't be used to wash the wounds of the brothers." ”
