Chapter 83: Marriage

Mu Yumo went to the imperial city to meet the emperor...... I didn't expect that this time the emperor of Chenguo would give Mu Yumo a marriage, the first beauty of Chenguo, and the emperor's favorite sister......

Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty......! Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"

Emperor Chenguo: "Hahaha! Mu Aiqing has a crush on that woman, can she compare to my imperial sister?"

Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty! she doesn't have to compare with anyone, but after the minister pretends to be her in his heart, he can't tolerate other women...... Please also ask Your Majesty to be considerate ......"

Emperor Chenguo: "This ...... Mu Aiqing, it's because you haven't seen this imperial sister of mine, so let's do it! I will hold a banquet for you to meet each other another day, which can enhance your understanding of each other......"

Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty...... I will never look at other women again, even if it is a princess, even if it is the emperor's royal sister, no matter how beautiful it is, it has nothing to do with me...... If the emperor wants to give me a marriage, please give me the beauty of an adult! Give me the woman I like...... The minister does not hide it from His Majesty, after the minister reports the war to the emperor, he will go to Dezhou City to find the woman again, and the minister will not marry her......"

Emperor Chenguo: "You mean that Dezhou City still has to be found? Ridiculous! I still think it is a woman from that family? According to you, it is simply of unknown origin...... How can my general Zhenxi marry a civilian woman casually? If it is a civilian woman, you can't even be a concubine for General Mu......

Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty, now that the war in the west has been peaceful, the imperial court no longer needs a Zhenxi general, I am willing to hand over the military talisman, resign from the post of general, and retire to the mountains and forests......"

Emperor Chenguo was surprised: "Mu Yumo, you actually want to resign as a general for a woman......?

Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty, Yumo has made up his mind, put aside the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and ask Your Majesty to see the love that we grew up with when we were young, and fulfill the righteous brother's ...... this time."

Emperor Chenguo: "Yumo, how can you make such a fool for a civilian woman, this will ruin your good future...... There are so many women in the world, even if you marry my royal sister, you can still marry a lot of concubines...... What's more, when have I ever treated you badly? I promised you my most beautiful sister, what else would you not want? Princess Mei is the first beauty in my Chen Kingdom! I don't hide it from you, this imperial sister of mine has long been in love with you, she is not married to General Muda, I have long wanted to marry her, but before this, the war in the west continued, and it dragged on for 6 years...... I, the imperial sister, have been waiting for you for 6 years, and I will never marry anyone else...... Therefore, Princess Mei is 24 years old this year...... The Queen Mother is also anxious about this matter every day......"

Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty, there are still many good men in the court, and there are also many good men in the family, so you can let Princess Mei choose one by one...... Yumo has lost her relationship with Princess Mei...... Three thousand weak water, I will only take one scoop ......"

Emperor Chenguo: "Yumo, how can you be so stubborn? I have already told you about this, don't you still appreciate it? Don't you care about the friendship between you and me? I need you, you are my right-hand man, can't you understand my hard work?"

Mu Yumo: "Yumo understands! As long as the emperor orders, Yumo is duty-bound, and the ministers can do anything for the emperor...... But Yu Mo implored the emperor, only my marriage is up to me!"

Emperor Chen: "You...... You don't understand at all! Yumo, Yumo, let me tell you the truth, my mother, Empress Dowager Chen, has always wanted to take away your military power, and she is bent on her nephew Chen Youjin being the general of Zhenxi, how can Chen Youjin's waste be reused? He is only suitable for being an empty shelf Hou Ye and raising him as a pig...... As long as you marry my imperial sister, the Queen Mother will have nothing to say, and from then on, the Queen Mother will be able to dispel the idea of taking away your military power......"

Mu Yumo: "Chen Youjin is not completely a wasted talent, he wants to be the general of Zhenxi and give it to him, not to mention that there is no war in the west now...... Your Majesty, Yumo has been fighting abroad for many years, and now if he can marry the woman he likes, what does it matter if he returns to the field?"

Emperor Chenguo: "This is not up to you! your Mu family will not let you choose a wife at will......"

Mu Yumo: "Hasn't the emperor ever met the woman he really love......s?"

Emperor Chenguo: "All women in the world are the same, even if they are women who are all over the country and the city, they are just different in beauty, and the beauties have their own merits, and you will get tired of it if you look at it for a long time...... If you want to say that the woman I love the most, it is your sister Mu Xuening, my concubine Ning, even if she is my favorite woman, I will not spoil her alone...... Yumo, today I will reward you with 300 beauties, bring them back to your general's mansion, and let you have more knowledge...... Wait for me to marry you with peace of mind, and let the first beauty of Chen Kingdom be your general's wife of Mu Yumo!"

Mu Yumo saw that he couldn't convince the emperor of Chenguo at all, and with the dissuasion of others, Mu Yumo had no choice but to retire and leave the palace...... So I went to a friend for a drink......

Mu Yumo felt aggrieved in his heart, and through the drunkenness, he said disrespectfully: "Ye Chen Chen doesn't care about the friendship of the past at all, and now he is completely an emperor, and he is no longer the eldest brother who formed a rebellion with us in the past......"

Lord Ze: "Alas, second brother, you have been at the border for a long time, and you don't know much about the current emperor...... He was already an emperor more than two years ago, and he is no longer the same person as before, and in the future, second brother, you will have to pay more attention to your words when talking to the emperor...... You can't ...... as casually as you used to."

Mu Yumo: "Yes! It's strange why only you came to see me today? Why didn't any of them come to meet me? I sent you a letter before I came back...... Could it be that you are the only one who received my letter?"

Prince Ze shook his head and said, "The third brother has been demoted to a poor county in the north...... The fifth brother was sent by the emperor to the sub-kingdom last year to be a husband and servant to the empress of the sub-kingdom...... Fourth brother, alas, the fourth brother's family was implicated by his side relatives and was raided and exiled to the south...... Now there are only you and me left in this imperial capital......"

Mu Yumo: "What are you talking about? How can this be? Big brother, he is really so ruthless? He doesn't care about the righteous feelings of our six brothers in the past? Why was the third brother demoted? Why was the fifth child sent to the sub-country? How could the fourth child be exiled?" Mu Yumo couldn't accept such a cruel reality at all...... Emotional out-of-control......

Lord Ze: "Second brother, we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to stand these things, so we didn't tell you about these things when you were at the border...... If you leave the war behind and rush back to the imperial city for the third, fourth, and fifth brothers, you will definitely be punished with the death penalty of missing the war...... The third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother fought at the border in order for you to stay at peace of mind, and they all endured not telling you about these things, and exchanged letters with you to report good news and bad news......"

Mu Yumo was stimulated, and with the strength of the wine, he was about to rush into the palace to meet the emperor, wanting to question the emperor face to face...... Lord Ze grabbed him with all his strength and stopped his impulsive and stupid behavior......

Prince Ze persuaded Mu Yumo, and the two continued to drink......

Ze Wangye: "Second brother, you take the time to see your sister Ning Guifei, she has been subjected to all kinds of difficulties by the Empress Dowager Chen in the palace, although she is favored by the emperor and named her a concubine, she has a higher status than other concubines, and her life in the palace is still not good...... Some time ago, the emperor intended to appoint Concubine Ning's son Xi'er as the crown prince, but was strongly opposed by Empress Dowager Chen and others, and the matter was shelved, which made Concubine Ning more difficult in the palace, and now more than 17,000 women in the deep palace all hate Concubine Ning......"

Mu Yumo: "Why is Ning'er so hard? What is the concubine? Why bother to let Xi'er be the prince? Isn't it good to be plain and mixed in the palace, in the future, Xi'er will be a prince, what's wrong with being as clean and carefree as you are the sixth brother?"

Prince Ze smiled bitterly: "Second brother, you don't know, and I, the prince, are not easy to do...... My mother has been suffering in the mausoleum of the former emperor...... If it weren't for my mother, I would have left this place long ago......"

Mu Yumo: "I have persuaded Ning'er many times not to fight for those meaningless reputations, but she has always refused to listen to my brother's advice...... The emperor now has more than 700 concubines, and she is the only one who has been named a noble concubine, can she not make people hold grudges? What's more, this time it was a matter of establishing a prince, and in the end it was shelved again, and she was completely in a dead end......

Ze Wangye: "Sometimes you can't help yourself! If you don't fight for a woman who has entered the harem, sooner or later you will be framed...... My mother is an example of this......"

Mu Yumo: "Sixth brother, it's not bad for your mother to live alone in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and stay away from the place of right and wrong, and she is happy to ......be quiet."

Ze Wangye: "Only when you can escape from this imperial city can you get real tranquility......"

Mu Yumo: "It seems that the emperor has really changed now, and he no longer thinks about the friendship between our six brothers in the past...... Otherwise, he won't lose his trust in you! I remember that he said several times that if he became emperor one day, he would let your mother go...... He forgot all those words at the beginning...... Otherwise, how could the third, fourth, and fifth children end up in the field they are now?"

Lord Ze: "The emperor is already soft-hearted towards the righteous brothers...... It turns out that those brothers have been given too many deaths...... Originally, we had a total of 36 brothers in the bloodline left by my father, but now in addition to the emperor himself, only me and Lord Hua are left......"

Mu Yumo was surprised: "It seems that I have been stationed at the border for 6 years...... The Imperial City has really changed dramatically...... I don't know ......."

Prince Ze smiled lightly: "Second brother still has to get used to the emperor, he is already an emperor...... You can't stand up to him anymore...... Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your Mu family, and you have to take care of your sister Ning Guifei in the deep palace, and your 8-year-old nephew Xi'er......"

Mu Yumo: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, Xi'er doesn't need me to worry, no matter how you say it, Xi'er is also his own child in Ye Chen......"

Lord Ze: "Second brother, don't you know, a month ago, the emperor just killed 3 princes, all of whom were his own flesh and blood...... The crime is that the three princes have a close personal relationship and form a gang...... The emperor is still young, so the most taboo is to be an older, adult but not so peaceful prince......"

Mu Yumo: "Ah......"

Ze Wangye: "That's why I reminded the second brother! Keeping Concubine Ning and your nephew is also protecting your Mu family......"

Mu Yumo: "But I have to make my own decisions about my marriage......! I already have a sweetheart, but the emperor has to force me to marry Princess Mei......"

Prince Ze: "This matter, in fact, the emperor treats the second brother well, Princess Mei is the emperor's sister, the biological daughter of the current queen mother, and the first beauty in Chen Kingdom...... Why not marry her?"

Mu Yumo: "Sixth brother, have you ever had a favorite woman, can you understand my feelings at this time?"

Lord Ze: "This ...... What kind of woman can make you like this, second brother, you have never been so interested in any woman before......

Mu Yumo: "She's very different...... The first time I saw her, I was moved...... Her name is very interesting, it's Rice Worm! I've got a picture of her here, so I'll show you...... It's really beautiful, like a fairy...... She is a very interesting person, if you can spend your life with her, you will definitely not be boring, and you can have a good time with her no matter where you go...... Mu Yumo's wife can only be her! In my heart, with her, I can no longer tolerate any other woman...... The moment I saw her, I had a kind of wish in this life: a couple for the rest of my life, half drunk, half awake and half floating......"

Prince Ze took the scroll, opened it, and frowned: "Second brother, such an ugly woman?

Mu Yumo: "Sixth brother, what kind of aesthetic do you have? You actually say that such a beautiful girl is ugly?"

Lord Ze: "Ahem! I think it's the second brother that has a serious problem with your aesthetics...... The woman in this painting is indeed very ugly! Come on, I'd better take my second brother to visit the Imperial City more! Second brother, you've been at the border for too long......
