Mu Anzhi wrote a good news note to Empress Dowager Lan, informing him of the good news that his wife was pregnant with twins. After learning about it, Li Yuhua also wrote a letter to Empress Dowager Lan, which was full of superstitious thoughts. From the time she won three big peony lots in Tianqi Temple,
Talking about her fetal dream of unicorns and the sea, it proves from all aspects how blessed she is as a woman with great fortune, a prosperous husband, a prosperous son, and a prosperous family. It is basically invisible bragging. Moreover, as for the letter written by Li Yuhua,
Mu Anzhi’s cheeks were a little hot just looking at his more than 20 years of education. Li Yuhua put down his pen under the lamp with some unfinished thoughts, holding on to his aching waist and said, "Let’s write these for now. It’s better not to write too explicitly, lest anyone be jealous.
.”
"This is already very good." Mu Anzhi pressed Li Yuhua's waist with his fingertips neither lightly nor heavily, "Are you feeling sore?"
"A little bit, just because I sit for a long time." Li Yuhua pointed to the hidden bag, and Mu Anzhi leaned on her waist. Li Yuhua asked, "Have you figured out the names of Qilin and Dahai?"
"After thinking about it, I chose three characters: Qilin, Lin, and Miao. Qilin is an auspicious animal, the male is Qi, and the female is Lin. Sister Yuhua, didn't you dream about the sea? Miao means three waters. This word is for both men and women.
should."
Li Yuhua followed Mu Anzhi's words and told everyone about the origin of Mu Anzhi's naming of his children. Bai Muxiang said, "Your Highness, this name is really well chosen. It not only corresponds to the birth shape, but is also very auspicious."
"I say so." Li Yuhua also felt that her third brother had chosen a good name for her children. She looked at the twins stumbling around in the yard and running like Hot Wheels and said, "If I were born with twins like Aunt Hongmei,
That’ll be fine.”
Bai Muxiang said, "It doesn't matter if you have twins. I heard that the two elders around His Highness the Third Highness went to the temple to burn incense for you and bless you to give birth to a heir apparent."
"Really? Oh my God, I thought they were joking? They actually did it!" Li Yuhua changed into a more comfortable position in the armchair, "The birth of a son is between me and my third brother, what are they so anxious about?
.”
Sitting in the warm winter sunshine, the princess's posture was still straight and upright, "Of course it's urgent. Whether it is private or royal, heirs represent inheritance. Royal relatives are different, for example, I only have a daughter, and the prince's palace does not have a legitimate son.
There will be concubines fighting against each other. For example, our Highness, let alone no concubines, even if there are a hundred concubines, they are not as valuable as the legitimate sons. Everyone who marries into the royal family will face the pressure of the legitimate sons, but not only
Succession by heirs is also related to the stability of the country. For example, Queen Mingsheng, who had great achievements in assisting three generations of emperors and held the title of Empress Dowager, was still in trouble with the Cao family. Although the Cao family was rebellious and Emperor You was confused, Emperor Ruowen
She is the Queen of Mingsheng, how dare Cao Shian commit any crime?"
The princess said, "When the Cao family rebelled, Empress Mingsheng did not pursue any serious investigation. However, the number of prisoners and their family members implicated in the rebellion was as high as ten thousand, and the number of families affected by this was even more numerous. Therefore, sometimes,
The reason why the royal family hopes for a legitimate son is for the stability of the country and the peace of the world."
Aunt Hongmei clicked her tongue when she heard this. She thought, "What's going on in the royal family? It's so different. If Xiao Hua doesn't give birth to a son, it will affect the peace of the world." No, I'll go to the temple to give birth to Xiao Hua'er tomorrow.
Burning pillar and high fever, it would be better if Xiao Huaer gave birth to a son for the first time. This life without a son is simply scary to death.
Princess Xin'an also said, "Legendary sons are born valuable. My wife and Your Highness have a good relationship, so it would be good to have more."
Li Yuhua picked out sour dried apricots with a silver skewer and ate them. While eating, she said, "Well, I made an agreement with Third Brother to have five boys and three girls."
The princess smiled and said, "I will certainly be able to comply with your words."
Bai Muxiang looked at Li Yuhua and was a little greedy eating sour apricots. She also picked a few and put them in her mouth. She felt her mouth watering and was very happy. When the princess saw the two cousins vying to eat the sour apricots, she thought that the Li family was really lucky.
Wow, there is such a capable pair of sisters.
Everyone was chatting about having a baby when Xiaofan, the chamberlain, came in to report, "Your Majesty, a New Year's gift has been sent from the Imperial Capital Chu Crown Prince's residence. Here is the gift list and a letter to Your Majesty."
Yunque stepped forward to receive the gift list and letter. Li Yuhua opened the letter with a smile and casually said to Xiaofan, "Ayao and Xijin are out. General Mu Qing is on duty. He will settle the people first. When Ayao comes back, let them go."
Come and say hello." Li Yuhua had already glanced at the letter and sneered at that moment, "I've seen infatuated people, but I've never seen anyone so infatuated." He handed the letter to the princess, "Auntie, take a look at it too, I'm so happy.
Clear your horizons!”
He turned around and told everyone what the Princess of Chu said in the letter. On the way to the feudal dynasty, Mu Qing brought a musician, which made Mu An extremely unhappy. Mu An was strict with the rules and asked Mu Qing to send the person back.
. Just after settling in Xinyi, Mu Qing actually sent people to bring the musicians to Xinyi.
It is estimated that Princess Chu was holding back her breath when she wrote the letter. She repeatedly asked Li Yuhua to take care of her granddaughter-in-law, Miss Xiao Yaoxiao, so the gift she gave to Li Yuhua was naturally heavy.
After hearing the whole story, Bai Muxiang said, "This charming skill should not be underestimated."
As long as it is the main wife, no one will like the side room, let alone this kind of musician who is not even a side room. Aunt Hongmei said, "How can you live with such a person in the middle? If you ask me, it is better to find a home for this vixen.
.However, this is not our family’s business, Hua’er, don’t let your good intentions lead to failure.”
"If it's so easy, Princess Chu and the eldest lady of the Chu family have already dealt with it. I heard that General Mu regards this musician as half his life, but if he touches a hair of this musician, General Mu will not be able to live." Li Yuhua said.
, "This is the eldest grandson of Prince Chu. Could it be that his life was really killed because of a musician?"
The Princess and Princess Xin'an were both speechless and disdainful. The Princess said, "Because Princess Chu is strong, the King of Chu found such a kind and soft-hearted Crown Princess for the Prince of Chu. If Princess Chu is still here, the Prince of Chu's palace will not have such a concubine."
children and grandchildren."
Princess Xin'an also said, "Back then, all the vassal palaces in the world, the Chu King and the vassal were famous for their strict rules and solemnity, but now such ridiculous things are happening, which is simply laughable. I heard An Li say that Mu Qing's literary talent and martial arts are good, so why is he so obsessed with women?
So confused."
"I just pity Ayao, such a good girl met a blind man." Li Yuhua said.
The princess said, "If the queen pities her, she won't be pitiful anymore."
Li Yuhua doesn't think so. Li Yuhua has a strong temper and can't live without a man. If he meets a man like Mu Qing, it would be better to live quietly alone. But Li Yuhua knows very well that it is not easy for a woman to live alone. The husband and wife support each other and love each other.
It's a good time to be old.
Mu Qing was from a good background and was very capable. Li Yuhua also heard Mu Anzhi praise Mu Qing for his carefulness in his duties. Although he was a bit indecent with women, Mu Qing used his skills. As long as Mu Qing was safe in his duties, Mu Anzhi would also
It was impossible to take care of Mu Qing's backyard. Li Yuhua felt sorry for Xiao Yao. Such a gentle and dignified girl didn't talk much along the way and never stole the limelight from others. With Mu Xijin, the eldest girl, Jiang Xun's wife He Shi
They all get along well.
The princess of the county had news about the eldest girl, and she was very clear about this matter. She told Li Yuhua in private, "There are so many monsters nowadays. I heard from the eldest girl that as soon as the musician came, Mu Qing bought his own house in Xinyicheng.
But instead of picking up A Yao, we put the musician down, and now the musician is taking care of the house like a lady."
Li Yuhua was curious, "How did the big girl know?"
"Mu Qing bought a house, and people he knew were always treated to Anzhai wine. An Li went to have Anzhai wine. Big girl accompanied Nurhan to the training ground every day. You didn't know it. When you came back to tell me, I was really angry.
They were so panicked. They wanted to vent their anger for A-Yao, but A-Yao stopped them." The princess said, "I don't think A-Yao is without ideas. I might as well ask her what she means.
"
"Is it because A Yao and Mu Qing have not been together for a short time that they are not familiar with each other?" Li Yuhua herself is very proactive and good at creating opportunities. She said to the princess, "The generals of the bodyguard have residences in the mansion. Mu Qing's courtyard
It's right next to Jiang Xun's yard. I heard Xiao Qi say that they usually get along in harmony, but I don't see Mu Qing being such a dim-witted thing." He Qi, the maiden name of Jiang Xun's wife He.
The princess said in her heart that if the superiors do something good, the subordinates will imitate it. It is impossible to say that they all learned from the Nine-Five Master.
Li Yuhua said, "Look, aunt, how about I ask His Highness to give Mu Qing a house? But it would be bad if other officials don't understand and become jealous. How about I pay them to borrow the name of Concubine Chu Shizi?"
When it comes to house ownership, if you have an upright person, that house can only be regarded as a private house and an outhouse."
"This is also a method." The princess said, "The empress is really entrusted by the concubine of the Chu Dynasty, so she has to worry about her family affairs like this."
"I mainly see that A Yao has a good temperament." The young woman who is following Li Yuhua, the eldest girl has a biological mother like the princess of the county, and she is Mu Anzhi's direct cousin. In addition, the eldest girl has a straightforward and open-minded personality, and loves to make friends. Mu Anzhi
She is also very kind to this cousin. Mu Xijin is a serious clan daughter. Both brothers and sisters are with Mu Anzhi and Li Yuhua. They entrust their future to the couple, so they are naturally their confidants. He Qi comes from a wealthy family, and her husband Jiang Xun is young and has a prominent position.
, naturally no one looks down upon her. Xiao Yao, on the other hand, was an orphan after her parents died young and had no support from her natal family, so she went to live with her aunt, Mrs. Chu. If Mu Qing’s matter hadn’t caused too much trouble, Concubine Chu would have given this
It was even more difficult for the eldest grandson to find a well-matched marriage. In fact, he was demoted to a lower level, and the family who cared a little for their daughter was not willing to marry a clan member like Mu Qing who was obsessed with female actresses.
What's even more rare is that when meeting a blind husband like Mu Qing, Xiao Yao doesn't feel sad or resentful, manages her life very well, and gets along well with everyone.
Li Yuhua would inevitably love her more.
However, when Li Yuhua asked Xiao Yao about this matter, Xiao Yao's eyes showed gratitude and said, "Thank you for letting me take care of our affairs." Then he said openly, "Now Sister Aqi and I are neighbors, and we live a very happy life.
Okay. As for the matter of the musicians, since my husband is dear to my heart, let me leave it to you. I have a private matter that I would like to discuss with the queen."
"you say."
"When my father was still alive, he was very fond of medicine. When I was still young, my father would hold me on his knee and explain medical books. Later I also read several medical books, but no one gave me guidance, they were all words on paper. Now Dr. Pei is
In the past few days, I have been helping out at the free clinics in the city. To be honest, I want to become a disciple of Dr. Pei and learn medical skills." Compared with mentioning Mu Qingshi, Yun Danfengqing was neither argumentative nor angry. When talking about medical skills,
On the contrary, Xiao Yao's eyes were blazing and her face showed expectation.
Li Yuhua said in her heart that it seemed that A Yao didn't take Mu Qing to heart either. Li Yuhua said, "It's never a bad thing to have multiple skills. What's more, doctors help the world and save lives, which is a supreme merit. If you are willing to learn medicine, it is naturally good.
"
Xiao Yao smiled and bowed, "Then I will discuss with the master about officially becoming a disciple. Your Majesty does not need to come in person when the time comes. I will also send you a message."
"The medical skills of Dr. Xiao Zhang in our mansion are also good. Why don't you go to Dr. Xiao Zhang? They are so close." Li Yuhua said.
"I asked, the Zhang family's medical skills are passed down from ancestors, and there is no precedent for the Zhang family to accept female disciples. Xiao Zhang, the imperial doctor, and Xianggong are both subordinates of His Highness. He felt that it was a bit awkward for me to learn medical skills from him, so I went
I learned from Dr. Pei." Xiao Yao had a smile in her eyes.
"Should I help you with Mu Qing's advice or should you tell him yourself?"
Xiao Yao said as gently as water, "I care about my husband and his infatuation with the musician. How could he not care about my sincerity in studying medicine?"
Mu Qingchu frowned when he heard that Xiao Yao wanted to study medicine, "What kind of medical skills do you want to learn? Even if you learn it, how can a woman show up in public to ask people to diagnose and prescribe medicine? Besides, you are a member of the clan, so you are making people laugh."
Xiao Yao turned over the traditional Chinese medicine book in her hand and said, "That's okay. Why don't I learn how to adjust it? Teach the outsiders how to behave as a concubine?"
Mu Qing's face didn't look good at that time. Xiao Yao put down the book, spontaneously pulled out the hairpin and picked out the heart of the candle. She leaned on the small kang table between her elbows and looked at Mu Qing. The candlelight reflected her eyes brightly, "Mr. sir, I heard
You are a good reader, but you don’t understand the principle of treating each other as a guest. If I make you happy, you have to make me happy. I give you face, and you have to give me face. I respect you three feet, and you have to return it to me.
One foot! This is what we call treating each other as guests!"
Mu Qing looked at Xiao Yao as if he had never known her before, "You, cousin, were you not like this before?"
"In the past, when I lived under someone else's roof, I had to be cautious and put on a show." Xiao Yao stood up, took his hand, and helped him sit on the edge of the kang, "I didn't want to marry you, because I thought you were going to give birth to a musician.
It was so sick that I wanted to die. Later, my cousin came up with this idea and told me every now and then about the kindness my family has given me in raising me over the years. My cousin treated me well, but just for you, she would try anything.
Try, what's more, my cousin is really kind to me. I thought about it, and it would be good to marry you. You are from a good family. Apart from being a bad musician, you are also excellent in reading and martial arts. As long as we treat each other as guests, I will not worry about making a living in my life.
, I can still live a quiet life. But living a quiet life is not easy. If you treat me as a weakling, I will have a hard time in my life. Who would take such a useless person seriously? Cousin, I will act as a front for you.
I will take up all the responsibilities that are mine, but you must also give me the face you should give me, otherwise, I will let you know that I am not someone to be bullied!"
"I have prepared the gift. Tomorrow my cousin will go to the master. After informing the master, he will go to the temple to ask the master to count it as an auspicious day. On the day of my apprenticeship, my cousin will accompany me there to show my face." Xiao Yao.
Patting Mu Qing's hand, he asked him, "How is it?"
Mu Qing felt that he had never known this cousin who had always been gentle and taciturn. At this moment, he knew what it meant to be "a woman's heart is under the sea". He almost withdrew his hand in fear, "Just do what you say."
