The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

Duanmu Xuantong said that the position of Minister of the Ministry of War will always be reserved for Qiu Mu, so he will be fully responsible for this war against the barbarians in the palace.It was summer, and there was a flood in the south, and he had to worry about flood control and insect infestation, plus state affairs, so he was really busy.

He Yin and Nan Xiao discussed matters with him in the Imperial Study Room. As for Nan Xiao, he was one of the few who knew about Nan Xiao's life experience.Although he was always wary of him, in his opinion, this brother-in-law was the best candidate to succeed the prime minister. When He Yin was dismissed and returned to the field, he would make Nan Xiao the new prime minister.

While talking, the guard said outside: "Your Majesty, someone from Yueluan Palace said that the queen is here to invite you."

Duanmu Xuantong rubbed his forehead, He Yin and Nan Xiao looked at each other, and then Nan Xiao asked: "Your Majesty, I should avoid it first?"

"You don't need to go." After Duanmu Xuantong finished speaking, he said to the guard: "Tell this servant that I will go find her when I'm done."

Yu He Yin glanced at Nan Xiao, who smiled at him.At that time, it was He Yin who proposed to investigate Nan Xiao, but the result was nothing.This smart man can also guess what's going on, but since the emperor just let it go, it means that this Nan Xiao is harmful to Xue Country.

He, an outsider, should not bother with matters concerning the royal family.

After the discussion, Duanmu Xuantong was a little tired and leaned on the back of the chair.He is only 15 years old, still a child, and has little experience in many things. Although he is already very good, he always feels that he is not as good as his father. [

The eunuch came in with tea, put it on the table, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen is still waiting for you."

Duanmu Xuantong sighed again, knowing what she wanted if she didn't go.These days, she always wants to go out for a walk, find various reasons, say that she wants to visit her eldest nephew (Duanmu Xuanrui's son), visit her father and queen mother to fulfill her filial piety, and visit the northern war situation. He didn't agree.This time, it wasn't another excuse.

Not long after, another group of ministers came, and Duanmu Xuantong discussed matters with them.It wasn't until evening that he took a breath and was about to eat when a eunuch walked in.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician came to report just now, saying that the empress is ill, and there is nothing serious about it, just take the medicine and take a rest."

Duanmu Xuantong paused for a moment, and then remembered that the servants from Yueluan Temple had come here at noon. Could it be that they told him that Mu Xue was not feeling well?

Duanmu Xuantong felt a little guilty, and didn't care about eating, so he hurried to Yueluan Hall.The servants were all happy to see him coming, Qingyu and Baihe greeted him and said: "The queen is not asleep yet, she is lying down."

"What's wrong with the queen?"

"I don't know where the stomach hurts. The imperial doctor said... Maybe it's because of boredom."

Duanmu Xuantong frowned slightly, and entered the inner room, only to see Mu Xue leaning on the pillow, lowering his eyes and refusing to greet him.He sits on the edge of the bed.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were not feeling well? The servant came at noon, and I thought you were going to discuss something with me again."

"It's because I've annoyed you too many times, and every time you seem very embarrassed, so I'm too embarrassed to say anything. I think if you have time, you will come."

"Are you all right?"

"It doesn't hurt now."

After Mu Xue finished speaking, she raised her eyes, but there was some confusion in those clear eyes: "The queen mother once said to me that we can be together when we are married. But it is very difficult for me and you to meet each other." On the one hand, why did we get further apart when we became close?"

"Because we are not ordinary couples, we are emperors and empresses."[

"So I have some regrets. My character is not suitable for such a life. You must be very angry when I say that, but it is true."

"Don't think about it so much, just take a good rest."

What she seemed to need, wasn't rest.After Duanmu Xuantong left, his heart was very heavy.His worries are gradually becoming reality, and Mu Xue has already begun to regret it.

Walking to the door of the imperial study, the guard hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Highness Xiaoyuan is waiting inside."

Duanmu Xuantong's spirit was lifted, and he hurried into the study.Qiu Mu was about to salute him, but he supported him first: "Brother Xiaoyuan, it's great that you can come."

Qiu Mu looked at Duanmu Xuantong's agitated expression, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "I'm always a little busy, and it hurts to see you busy. Leave the affairs of the Ministry of War to me, and you can relax."

"Brother Xiaoyuan, that's great."

"I'm not returning to the Ministry of War, it's just that I will leave after this war is over."

"leave?"

"Let's talk later."

Duanmu Xuantong sighed lightly, he didn't ask any more questions, but just grabbed Qiu Mu's hand and said with a smile, "Let's have dinner together."

These days, very depressing, finally have a happy thing.I had dinner with my eldest brother, and the two brothers took a walk in the garden.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't always compare yourself with your father. You have done a great job."

Duanmu Xuantong smiled wryly: "Father came to the throne at the age of 16, surrounded by dissidents, he survived just as well. And what about me? Father left me such a prosperous country and clear court, but I failed Do it."

"I still say the same thing, you did a good job, it was you who demanded too much perfection."

Duanmu Xuantong smiled again. In fact, there are still many things that are not as good as his father, such as the control between the court and women.Duanmu Xuantong looked at Qiumu, and asked gently: "Brother Xiaoyuan, haven't you visited elder sister?"

Qiu Mu looked forward, without a trace of expression on his face, he just said lightly: "I turned her into a devil, so I have no face to see her again."

"She hasn't gone out yet. Nan Xiao told me that the second sister also began to suspect what happened, and so did Qiu Yi. It's always strange."

"Really? Yi'er didn't tell me."

"He is very similar to you. He is worried that you will be unhappy, so he only told his uncle."

Qiu Mu also just said lightly: "Shi Lin and Nan Xiao have paid a lot, and I feel sorry for them. They care about these two children more than their own children."

Indeed, Nan Xiao and Duanmu Shilin are very concerned about the meaning of autumn and autumn hope. Thinking of this, his view of Nan Xiao has also changed a lot.Nan Xiao really loves Duanmu Shilin very much, and he also likes children very much.

Qiu Mu went directly to the Ministry of War, and he was still sitting in the imperial garden.The wind blows slowly, and I can finally feel a bit of coolness.The night is no longer scary because of the moonlight.The gentle moon is like a mother's hand, caressing her face gently, although there is no warmth, she can feel tranquility.Duanmu Xuantong looked at the sky, the bright moon, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Royal father, queen mother, where are you now?Must be very happy.Thinking of this, Erchen's heart will be much calmer, at least under the moonlight, there will always be people close to him who feel happiness, so Erchen's gloom at the moment becomes unimportant.
