Chapter Twenty-Three: Under Heaven
Mu Nianli nodded: "I'll go first, it's not appropriate to always hang around in the harem and others see it." ”
Bai Mu smiled: "No, I don't want others to speculate whether I have a male pet." ”
Mu Nianli raised his eyebrows: "I think others will think you have a good eye." With that, leave quickly.
Bai Mu shook his head helplessly, thought about it, and asked a eunuch to inform the princess.
Bai Mu teased the child, and after a while, Bai Miao arrived. When she saw the child, her expression froze, and then she slowly walked over and asked, "Who is this child?" ”
"Prince." Bai Mu said softly, "Maybe." ”
Bai Yi's fingertips on the side of the bed turned white, she was silent for a moment, and asked, "Your child?" ”
Bai Mu smiled: "It's not important, no matter what, the royal family can be handed over to a person I personally cultivated, at least rest assured." ”
Bai Miao looked at her in surprise: "Who is this child?" ”
Bai Mu thought for a while and said, "If his background is clean, he will be a member of the Bai family in the future." ”
Bai Yi's expression softened a little, and then asked suspiciously, "Doesn't Your Majesty plan to have a child of your own?" ”
Bai Mu smiled faintly: "I don't want to, and no one will give birth to me now." ”
Bai Miao frowned slightly, and Bai Mu continued: "Cousin, there are no relatives in the harem that I can trust, can you take care of the children when I am busy?" ”
"Okay." Bai Miao's eyes lit up, and he looked at the sleeping boy: "Is the name called?" ”
Bai Mu shook his head: "Not yet." But there's no hurry, let's start with a nickname. This child's identity can't be leaked, wait a few years to see if he is qualified to be the heir, and then talk. ”
Bai Miao touched the child's head: "That...... Let's call it Ah Lian, the refining of iron. ”
"Okay." Bai Mu nodded, "I'll go first?" ”
Bai Miao nodded, his eyes gentle: "You should also take a good rest." It was too risky to go on a personal expedition before, so don't risk yourself like this in the future. ”
Bai Mu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dryly: "I know the imperial sister." With that, leave in a hurry.
Bai Mu thought about it and decided to go to the prison to have a look. When she left, she was accompanied only by a eunuch and a guard.
The heavy door was opened, and a rushing smell made Bai Mu subconsciously frown. The smell of rancidity, the smell of excrement, everything, in short, is extremely uncomfortable.
The eunuch who led the way looked at Bai Mu with some uneasiness, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty still wants to continue walking?" ”
Bai Mu nodded: "Let's go." ”
When they walked, the prisoners in the prison either did not lift their eyes, as if they were unconscious; Or just suddenly pick up the door, grab the deadbolt, and look at this side, weird and scary.
Bai Mu was very calm. She used to be a general, how could she not have seen the prisoners in the prison and not be frightened.
All the way to He Shengsheng's cell, the other party didn't have too many injuries, but he was dirty, and then there was a palm print on his face, which was extremely conspicuous. When she saw Bai Mu coming, she was stunned, then quickly lowered her head and pushed her hair to the front.
Bai Mu raised his eyebrows and asked the eunuch to open the door, and then he and the guards obediently walked out a few steps, farther away, just enough to hear the conversation inside.
Bai Mu took a clean small bench and sat down, looked at He Shengsheng, who was silent, and smiled slightly: "What are you doing, are you shy?" Raise your head and show me. ”
This was said very much like a hooligan, and He Shengsheng still did not move.
Bai Mu turned He Shengsheng's face over with a folding fan, and then lifted her chin. Although the face is extremely dirty, the delicate facial features can still be seen.
He Shengsheng's eyes were full of tears.
Bai Mu frowned slightly, put down the fan, and his eyes became cold.
"Don't look at me like that, like I'm a villain." Bai Mu snorted coldly, "Who caused my family to be ruined, and my people were killed and injured countless times?" Do you think you've been hurt greatly? To tell you honestly, you didn't engage in special treatment, you didn't use torture, and you had normal food treatment...... However, it's normal for a pampered princess like you to not get used to it. Not long ago, your father and brother went to war, and they don't care if you live or die, but why do you want to hurt the only person who loves you for someone who doesn't love you at all? ”
He Shengsheng's eyes darkened a little, and then he looked up at Bai Mu with difficulty: "You, do you still admire me?" ”
Bai Mu felt ridiculous, and smiled: "It's not important, right?" Don't play emotional cards with me, you know? ”
He Shengsheng clenched his fists, lowered his head, and said softly: "It's that I can't stand you, and I actually regret it." ”
Bai Mu sighed lightly, "It's you who can't live with my eldest brother and my family." Don't say it, I don't want to see you again in the future, so you can do it yourself. With that, she got up and left.
The treasury was quickly replenished, because of the sharp decline in the atmosphere of corruption, and Bai Mu was not a master who liked to spend money indiscriminately, there was not much need to spend money in the harem, and the funds that could be invested in the war suddenly increased a lot.
Originally, the country was an extremely powerful country, and the depth of the heritage was unimaginable. Therefore, after the equipment was suddenly upgraded, and there was a 'god of war' emperor like Bai Mu, who was praised by everyone, the next war was invincible. As a result, the enemy country had to ask for negotiations.
Bai Mu bluntly refused, saying that the revenge had not been avenged, how could he shake hands with the enemy and talk?! As a result, the army smashed the Yellow Dragon, all the way like a bamboo, and finally completely defeated it a year later.
On the day of the celebration banquet, Ah Lian was exactly one and a half years old, and was held by Bai Yi to eat with Bai Mu in the harem.
Next, I can probably devote myself to cultivating this child.
Bai Mu touched Ah Lian's head, the other party can already call Daddy and Mom and the like, even a simple conversation, obviously quite smart.
Now Ah Lian is called Aunt Bai Yi, and Bai Mu is His Majesty. After all, Bai Mu didn't want the other party to call him father or something, and it was impossible to call him mother, so he just called His Majesty.
"Your Majesty." Ah Lian's voice was soft, and Bai Mu's heart melted when he heard it, and he felt that this kid was really ...... It's so cute, isn't it? "Eat meat."
Bai Mu picked up the meat that Ah Lian gave her, which happened to be a piece of lean meat. She laughed: "Thank you, Ah Lian, Ah Lian will also eat more." ”
Bai Miao looked at Bai Mu and asked, "Why doesn't Amu drink some wine?" ”
Bai Mu waved his hand: "Drinking alcohol hurts your body, and drinking tea is also good." ”
Bai Miao pursed his lips and didn't say much.
Mu Nianli was eating meat on the side, but he didn't drink either.
"Come over here for a while."
Mu Nianli was stunned for a moment, then put down the meat and bones in his hand and walked over.
"I'm leaving," Bai Mu got straight to the point, "I hope you can help Ah Lian and the imperial sister to keep the Bai family's world." ”
