The envoy of the Tang Dynasty took back the hot reply, and sure enough, there was a flying word "ke" behind it. The envoy of the Tang Dynasty twirled his beard and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is in high spirits during happy events, and this word is also written with high spirits." He took the word "Ke" from the letter.
The bank note was handed to the staff, "Hurry up and get the money back."
The staff accepted the bill and immediately went to collect the money. Thinking about it, it's no wonder that the prince was happy to spend money like water. Even ordinary people would be very happy when they knew they were getting twins, not to mention that they were the head of the prince's house and the prince and the princess.
Give birth to a child.
Due to the Lord's tendency to be confused by joy, Du Changshi had to go and remonstrate, "Your Highness has allocated 50,000 silver in the past two days. If Your Highness continues to be so lavish, we will suffer from the northwest wind by the end of the year."
"
With a smile on his face, Mu Anzhi advised Du Changshi with a bad face, "Look at the look on your face, Xiao Du, sit down and say, should I allocate so much money? Okay, okay, I understand, I won't allocate them tomorrow."
He looked like he was following the good deeds, but I don’t know if he listened to it. Du Changshi had no choice but to laugh, "I know that His Highness is happy, and I am as happy as Your Highness. Your Highness has given too much reward now, and when the prince is born, he will still have to pay for it."
How should I reward you? Your Highness, please bear with me for the time being."
"Okay, if there is another official document asking for money tomorrow, I will consider it." Mu Anzhi sighed with a sense of superiority, "Xiao Du, you haven't gotten married yet, so you don't understand the joy of becoming a father."
Du Changshi thought to himself, who will get married in the future and not have children? His Highness probably suppressed it because there has been no news about the marriage for several years. However, Du Changshi was really curious and quietly asked Mu Anzhi, "Your Highness, we will have two children this time."
"If you have any secrets, please tell me."
Mu Anzhi smiled brightly. Although he wanted to teach Xiao Du, Mu An's way, "It should depend on family blood. Sister Yuhua's family has a tradition of twins. Aunt Hongmei is the twin of dragon and phoenix, but not everyone can do it."
So, you see, Sister Muxiang doesn’t have twin children. So, let’s look at opportunities.”
Mu Anzhi took a sip of milk tea happily, "I don't know if sister Yuhua will give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, or two brats. The two little girls are not bad either. The girls are both beautiful."
Du Changshi was so angry that he couldn't help but stare, "Your Highness!"
Mu Anzhi didn't know why, "What's wrong?" You look like shit.
Du Changshi said seriously, "The princess has a dream about the unicorn, which is a good omen, and she will definitely give birth to a prince! Your Highness, please don't speak out!"
Mu Anzhi disdained Du Changshi's behavior, curled his lips and said to him, "If you say that, I can't even get two girls. Look at this ignorant look. If there were no girls in the world, wouldn't all the men be beaten?
Bachelor. If you look down on girls, my daughter must be as outstanding as my son."
"I also hope that the princess can give birth to a son as soon as possible!" Du Changshi also said, "Tomorrow I will go to the temple to burn incense for the princess!"
Mu Anzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, it must be as you said, Xiao Du. A son will be a son, and a daughter will be born later. When Xiao Du has a son, maybe we can be in-laws again."
Du Changshi was modest, "How dare a dog climb up to the princess?"
Mu Anzhi laughed, "You should have a wife first and then talk about the dog."
Du Changshi really couldn't stand Mu Anzhi's arrogance, so he asked him, "Your Highness, you like children so much, why did you bother to delay consummating the marriage with the princess for a whole year?"
Mu Anzhi was shocked, "How did you know?"
"Although the Empress Dowager has always been partial to Your Highness, she has not gone out of her way. But at that time in the paddock, the Princess was suddenly given the title of Princess again. Your Highness once again looked like you had done something wrong. You didn't come out all day, so you stayed with the Princess.
I'll find out after I inquire a little bit." Du Changshi teased, "I thought His Highness was dissatisfied with the Empress."
"It's nothing." Mu Anzhi firmly refused to admit it. He was justified. "My marriage to sister Yuhua is different from you. We didn't know each other very well before. Suddenly we became husband and wife. We have to get along for a while and have feelings.
It's so easy to have children. Don't think about it, how could I be dissatisfied with sister Yuhua."
Du Changshixin said, "It's impossible for you now. The princess's mother-in-law and her family are all around you. If you do something outrageous again, your mother-in-law's family won't let it go. Mr. Bai is only a high-ranking official!"
After teasing Mu An for a while, he finally got out of his mouth and Mu An laughed at him for not having a wife. Du Changshi reminded, "The princess is pregnant with twins. Your Highness might as well write a memorial in his own hand and send it back to the capital, and also let the Queen Mother
The empress is delighted."
"That's true," Mu An said, "The first memorial should have been sent to the imperial capital."
Royal study room.
On the most embarrassing day of Lu Guogong's life, Emperor Mu Xuan handed Lu Hou's letter to Lu Guogong, "I have not opened this letter. The third child's note said that Wen Jia has not read it either. I can't help him with his temper.
If you have anything to say to me, I will talk to him. Take the letter back."
Duke Lu Guogong received the letter with a relaxed look on his face, "I was thinking that His Highness the Third Highness would become a vassal, so I sent him a letter to give him a few words. He has not been in contact with me for many years, and I also thought that he would not necessarily read this letter.
But as an uncle, I always worry about it in my heart. Now that the fold of the Creed to His Highness the Third Highness has been returned, I am finally relieved. It can be seen that Wenjia and the Third Highness are in harmony with each other and get along well with each other."
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "That's right. The old man is complaining about the shortage of ordnance in Northern Xinjiang. Please ask the imperial court to allocate some. What do you think?"
"There has been no war in Northern Xinjiang in recent years. There are about 100,000 soldiers in service. There are enough soldiers stationed on the border. I think the soldiers and armor are old things from the past. In the past few years, Northern Xinjiang has become a little uneasy. I think it is because of the long-lasting peace and people's hearts have changed.
"I asked the Ministry of War to start preparations, and I hope to allocate funds as soon as possible next year," Lu Guogong said.
"Okay, let's do it like this." Emperor Mu Xuan sent Duke Lu down.
At that moment, the chamberlain whispered, "Duke Lu Guo has gone to the East Palace."
Emperor Mu Xuan stood up and said, "Go to Ci'en Palace."
Ever since Mu Anzhi's family became a vassal, Empress Dowager Lan has encouraged the Crown Princess to learn palace affairs. However, the Crown Princess is pregnant now and cannot be too tired. Therefore, most of the palace affairs are still in the hands of Empress Dowager Lan.
When Queen Mother Lan saw the emperor's son coming over, she was naturally happy and said with a smile, "Did you smell the good lamb here?"
"Isn't that true? I heard from the people in the Department of Internal Affairs that the sheep in the northwest are very fat this time." After Mu Anzhi settled in Xinyi, he wrote a greeting note and sent it back to the messenger along with Lu Guogong's private message to Lu Hou.
There are also many things from the Xiaojing Palace. But most of them are local things from the northwest. Although they are not worth much, they are also Mu Anzhi's wishes.
"Of course Ashen picked up the best fat sheep and sent them over. Yuhua said in the letter that they bought the fat sheep from the tribe in northern Xinjiang on the way to Xinyi. He said that the sheep drank snow water from the Tianshan Mountains.
When grown up, the taste is better than the ordinary northwest sheep." Empress Dowager Lan smiled and pulled the emperor's son to sit with her, "The Yuhua letter said that everything is fine, but what does Ashen say in the book? The place in Xinyi is colder and bitter.
"
"It's nothing. They just arrived and settled in the old northern Xinjiang palace. It saved a lot of money to build the palace." Emperor Mu Xuan said.
Queen Mother Lan said mysteriously, "But there is a happy event that Ashen probably didn't tell the emperor."
"What's the matter?" Emperor Mu Xuan was actually not in a good mood, but seeing his mother looking like she was really having a great event, he couldn't help but become interested.
"Yuhua said that on the second day after she arrived at the palace, she had a particularly auspicious dream at night. She dreamed of a unicorn rising in the clouds and riding in the mist, wading through the water. She asked the older female relatives, and they all said it was a dream about her fetus." Lan.
The Queen Mother put down all her worries and asked Emperor Mu Xuan, "Do you think this is a good dream?"
"Qilin sending a son is naturally a good dream!" Emperor Mu Xuan smiled, "If this dream can be fulfilled, the mother will be relieved."
"It's not just me, don't you worry about it?" Ordinary people's children have been without children for three years, and the family has to worry, let alone the royal family.
"It's useless to worry about it. The third child has such a temper and he doesn't want concubines." Emperor Mu Xuan naturally wanted to have more children. "The mother only prepares rewards for her great-grandchildren. I think this matter is indispensable."
Although people often create auspicious dreams and dream of having a baby, no matter whether the dream is true or false, as long as the emperor and grandson are real, it is a happy event! Emperor Mu Xuan smiled, "It seems that I need to drink a few more drinks."
"I'll let someone boil the wine." Queen Mother Lan said, "Winter has not yet entered here, and the snow and ice has already arrived in northern Xinjiang."
This evening we had dinner at Ci'en Palace. Emperor Mu Xuan did not summon his concubines at night, so he went to bed in the side hall of Zhaode Palace. The prince mentioned Lu Guogong's visit to the East Palace at night, and offered Emperor Mu Xuan some medicinal tea for gargling his mouth.
He said, "My uncle showed me the letter. I heard that my father and my third brother didn't read it, so I opened it and read it."
Emperor Mu Xuan rinsed his mouth and asked, "How?"
"My guess is not very different. They are all words that make Lu Hou and his third brother get along well." The prince said.
"you guess?"
"The Marquis of Lu and the Duke's office have always been indifferent. Even if my uncle wrote a letter, he would not be able to say anything out of line. And it was just when the third brother was about to leave the vassal. What could he have written if he didn't write these words?" The prince's words made Emperor Mu Xuan wonder.
With a smile, the prince said, "I just feel that uncle's letter is a bit redundant."
"Where's the excess?"
"He and Marquis Lu have not been close in these years, so why write such a letter to mention Marquis Lu at this time? Marquis Lu is a meritorious prince in the court. He has been in the court for many years and he knows his importance. In terms of status, both of them are court officials.
The official position of the middle and important minister and Marquis of Lu is on par with my uncle, so I don’t need this point."
Emperor Mu Xuan smiled, patted the soft couch next to him, and the prince sat down. Emperor Mu Xuan held the prince's hand and said, "In those days, the Lu family brothers were known as the two heroes of the Lu family. Your uncle Lu Boxin had outstanding military exploits. All the old and new nobles were impressed.
"
"People in the world are different. When Xiaobao was a child, he was lazy in studying. I once asked him, if you can't read this book, what will you do in the future? Xiaobao told me that his mother is the eldest princess and his uncle is the emperor. He always
Dui's cousins are all princes, and he is not very good at reading, but they all live a good life." Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Xiaobao looks a little stupid, but he is actually a rare transparent and open-minded character. Some people are naturally easy to accept comparisons with others.
It is common sense in the world that you are strong, and there are people outside you, and there are mountains outside the mountains. But some people are different. Although Zhong Ming never said it, I know that back then, some people said that the Lu family was a double hero, but the names were not true. These names
The nickname is just a rumor among the people, but he has always cared about it."
"He hopes the world will understand that there is more to the Lu family than just Lu Boxin, and he is no worse than his brother."
