Chapter 83
Mu Yumo went to the imperial city to meet the emperor... He did not expect that this time the reward of Emperor Chen would give Mu Yumo a marriage, the number one beauty in Chen, and the emperor's favorite sister...
Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty! Never! I already have a lover... I would like to take back my life!"
Emperor Chen Kingdom: "Hahaha! Is that woman Mu Aiqing liked? Can she compare to my emperor sister?"
Mu Yumo: "Your Majesty! She doesn't have to compare with anyone, but after I pretended to her in my heart, I can no longer tolerate other women... Please understand your Majesty..."
Emperor Chen: "This...Mu Aiqing, you have never seen this emperor girl before. Let's do this! I will hold a banquet to let you meet again the other day, which can enhance your understanding of each other..."
Mu Yumo: "Emperor... I already have someone in my heart! I will never fall in love with other women anymore, even if it is a princess, even if it is the emperor's sister, no matter how beautiful it is, it has nothing to do with me... If the emperor wants to give a marriage, please be a beautiful woman! Give me the woman I like to marry... I will not hide it from Your Majesty. After reporting to the emperor, I will go to Dezhou City to find that woman again. I will not marry her if I don't marry her..."
Emperor Chen: "You mean Dezhou City? You have to look for it? Absurd! I thought it was a woman from that family? According to what you said, it was simply unknown... How could my general Zhenxi marry a commoner woman casually? If it was a commoner woman, it would not even be a concubine for you General Mu..."
Mu Yumo: "Emperor! Now that the war in the west has been settled, the court no longer needs a general in the west. I am willing to hand over the military talisman, resign from the position of general, and retire from the mountains and forests..."
The Emperor of Chen Kingdom was surprised: "Mu Yumo, you actually want to resign from the general for a woman? It's ridiculous! It's simply ridiculous..."
Mu Yumo: "Emperor, Yumo has made up his mind. Putting aside the relationship between the king and the ministers, I would like to ask Your Majesty to see the friendship we grew up together when we were young, so that we can make the loyal brother of Yiquan this time..."
Emperor Chen: "Yu Mo, how could you make such a fool for a commoner woman? This will ruin your bright future... There are so many women in the world. Even if you marry my princess, you can still marry many concubines... What's more, when did I treat you badly? I betrothed my most beautiful sister to you, what else do you want to do? Princess Mei is the number one beauty in Chen Country! I don't hide it from you. My princess has long liked you. General Mu will not marry. I have long wanted to marry her. However, the wars in the western region have been going on for 6 years... My princess Mei has been waiting for you for 6 years and 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: "Emperor, there are many good men in the court, and there are many good men in the aristocratic families. Princess Mei can choose one by one... Yumo has no chance with Princess Mei... Three thousand waters, I only take one scoop..."
Emperor Chen Kingdom: "Yu Mo! How can you be so stubborn? I have already talked to you about this, don't you appreciate it? Do you not care about the friendship between you and me at all? I need you, you are my right-hand man, can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"
Mu Yumo: "Yu Mo understands! As long as the emperor gives orders, Yumo is unruly, and I can do anything for the emperor... But Yumo begs the emperor, but I will only decide my marriage!"
Emperor Chen: "You...you don't understand at all! Yu Mo, Yu Mo, tell you the truth. My mother, Empress Dowager Chen, has always wanted to seize your military power. She wants her nephew Chen Youjin to be the general of the west town. How can Chen Youjin be reused? He is only suitable to be an empty marquis and raise it as a pig... As long as you marry my imperial sister, the Empress Dowager will have nothing to say, and the Empress Dowager will be able to dispel the idea of seizing your military power from now on..."
Mu Yumo: "Chen Youjin is not completely a useless talent. He wants to be the general of Zhenxi to give him the same thing. He Kuan has no war in the west now... Emperor, Yumo has been fighting outside for many years. If he can marry his favorite woman as his wife, what's the harm in retiring his family?"
Emperor Chen: "You can't help but choose your wife at will..."
Mu Yumo: "Have the emperor never met a woman he truly loves when he comes back? He is so unwilling to understand Yumo's current wish..."
Emperor Chen Kingdom: "The women in the world are the same. Even women who are fascinated by the whole country are just different. Beauties have their own strengths. They will get tired of them after watching them for a long time... If you want to say that the woman I love the most is your sister Mu Xuening, my Concubine Ning. Even if she is my favorite woman, I will not favor her alone for this... Yu Mo, today I will reward you 300 beauties and take them back to your general's mansion to give you more knowledge... Wait for me to give you a marriage for you, and let the number one beauty in Chen Kingdom be your general's wife of Mu Yu Mo!"
Seeing that Mu Yumo could not convince the Emperor of Chen, and with others dissuading him, Mu Yumo had no choice but to leave and leave the palace... and went to find a friend to drink...
Mu Yumo felt aggrieved, and while drinking, he said rudely: "Ye Chenchen did not care about the friendship he had back then. Now he is completely an emperor, and he is no longer the elder brother who has been a charity with us in the past..."
Prince Ze: "Oh! Second brother, you have been in the border for a long time and don't know the current emperor... He was an emperor more than two years ago and is no longer the same person as before. In the future, you should pay more attention to your words when you speak with the emperor... You can no longer be as casual as before..."
Mu Yumo: "Yes! It's strange why are you the only one who came to see me today? Why are you the third, fourth, and fifth, and the others not coming to greet me? Before I came back, I specially sent you a letter... Could it be that you the only one who received my letter?"
Prince Ze shook his head and said, "The third brother was demoted to a poor county in the north... The fifth brother was sent to Ziguo by the emperor last year to serve as a husband's servant for the queen of Ziguo... Fourth brother, alas! The fourth brother's family was implicated by his family's relatives and was confiscated and exiled to the south... Now the only one of you and me is left in this imperial capital..."
Mu Yumo: "What did you say? Why is this happening? The eldest brother is so ruthless? He doesn't care about the past friendship between our six brothers? Why is the third brother demoted? Why is the fifth brother sent to Ziguo? How could the fourth brother be exiled?" Mu Yumo could not accept such a cruel reality... his emotions were out of control...
Prince Ze: "Second brother, we are afraid that you can't stand these things, so when you were in the border, we didn't tell you these things... If you left the war for the third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and fifth brother, you would definitely be punished with the death penalty of missing the war... Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, in order for you to stay at the border to fight war, they endured not tell you these things, and would not tell you about the good news when you exchanged letters with you..."
Mu Yumo was stimulated and rushed into the palace to meet the emperor with the alcohol, wanting to question the emperor in person? He was obviously looking for death... Prince Ze tried his best to catch him and stop his impulsive and stupid behavior...
Prince Ze advised Mu Yumo, and the two continued to drink...
Prince Ze: "Second brother, take time to see your sister Concubine Ning. She has been harassed by Empress Dowager Chen in the palace. Although she is favored by the emperor and named her concubine, she is higher than other concubines. Life in the palace is still difficult... A few days ago, the emperor intended to make Concubine Ning's son Xier the crown prince, but was strongly opposed by Empress Dowager Chen and others. This matter was put on hold, which made Concubine Ning even more difficult in the palace. Now more than 17,000 women in the deep palace hold grudges against Concubine Ning..."
Mu Yumo: "Why is Ning'er doing this? What kind of concubine? Why do you want Xier to be the crown prince? Wouldn't it be enough to just be in the palace? In the future, Xier will be the prince, and what's wrong with being as clean and free as you are as sixth brother?"
Prince Ze smiled bitterly: "Second brother, you don't know anything. It's hard for me to do... My mother has been guarding the tomb of the late emperor and suffering... If it weren't for my mother, I would have left this place of failure..."
Mu Yumo: "I have advised Ning'er many times not to fight for those meaningless titles. She never 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 concubine. Can people not hold a grudge? What's more, this time it was the matter of becoming a crown prince again, and in the end it was put on hold again. She has completely entered a dead end..."
Prince Ze: "Sometimes you can't help yourself! If you don't fight for women who enter the harem, you will be waiting to be framed sooner or later... My mother is an example..."
Mu Yumo: "Sixth brother, it's not bad for your mother to live alone in the tomb of the late emperor to guard the tomb and stay away from the place of right and wrong, and she's happy to be quiet..."
Prince Ze: "Only by being able to escape from this imperial city can you be truly quiet..."
Mu Yumo: "It seems that the emperor has really changed now. He no longer thinks about the friendship between us and the six brothers we had in the past... Otherwise, he would not have broken his trust in you! I remember that he had said several times that if one day he became the emperor, he would let your mother go away... The emperor had forgotten all those words at the time... Otherwise, how could the third, fourth, and fifth, end up in the current land?"
Prince Ze: "The emperor is already ruthless in dealing with the sworn brothers... It turns out that too many of those brothers were sentenced to death... The bloodline left by the father was originally 36 brothers, but now except the emperor himself, only Prince Hua is left..."
Mu Yumo was surprised: "It seems that I have been stationed in the border for 6 years... the imperial city has undergone earth-shaking changes... but I don't know at all..."
Prince Ze smiled slightly: "The second brother has to get used to the emperor who is already an emperor... He can't contradict him anymore... Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to consider your Mu family, and you have to consider your sister Ning Guifei in the deep palace, and your 8-year-old nephew Xier..."
Mu Yumo: "I don't have to worry about the tiger poison. Xi'er doesn't have to worry about it. No matter what, Xi'er is his own child..."
Prince Ze: "Second brother, you don't know. A month ago, the emperor just killed three princes, all of whom were his own flesh and blood... The charge was that the three princes had close personal relationships and formed cliques... The emperor is still young, so he is most taboo to the older prince who is already an adult but not so peaceful..."
Mu Yumo: "Ah..."
Prince Ze: "It's because of this! I reminded my second brother! It's also to protect Concubine Ning and your nephew...”
Mu Yumo: "But I have to make the decision on my marriage myself! I have to contradict the emperor... I already have a lover, but the emperor insists on forcing me to marry Princess Mei..."
Prince Ze: "In this matter, the emperor treats you very well with your second brother. Princess Mei is the emperor's sister, the biological daughter of the current empress dowager, and the number one beauty in Chen Kingdom...why not marry her?"
Mu Yumo: "Sixth brother, have you ever had a woman you like? Can you understand how I feel at this time?"
Prince Ze: "This...what kind of woman can make you like this, second brother? Second brother, you have never cared about any woman so much before..."
Mu Yumo: "She is very different...I was moved by the first sight... Her name is very interesting, it is Mi Chong! I have a portrait of her here, let me show you... It's really beautiful, like a fairy... She is a very interesting person. If she can spend her life with her, it will definitely not be boring. No matter where she goes with her, she can live a good life... Me! Mu Yumo's wife can only be her! Since I have her in my heart, I can no longer tolerate any other woman... The moment I saw her, I had a wish for this life: a pair of people for a lifetime, half drunk, half awake and half floating..."
Prince Ze took the scroll, opened it and frowned: "Second brother, is this ugly woman? I'm confused you like this?"
Mu Yumo: "Sixth brother, what kind of aesthetics are you? You actually say that such a beautiful girl is ugly?"
