A Thousand Hills

Chapter 260

The correspondence between the fifth prince, Xie Moru, and the couple really opened the eyes of Emperor Mu Yuan. Usually, these two people, the fifth son is afraid of his wife. Over the years, Emperor Mu Yuan worried from time to time whether his fifth son would be domestically abused.Fortunately, the fifth son has been safe these years.Of course, this is Emperor Mu Yuan's worry. In fact, the fifth son has treated Xie Moru as a living treasure these years, and he enjoys it.It's just that neither of these two people seem to be able to talk about love!In the end, hey, it's normal for a newly married couple to talk about love, but this couple, who have been married for many years, can still be "lovely" and "lovesick".

Therefore, people should not be judged by their appearance.

It's strange that his fifth son can play harmoniously with Xie Moru, Neixiu!
Compared with the nasty letters of the five sons and his wife, the letters from the grandchildren are particularly interesting.

After peeking at the family's reply letter, Emperor Mu Yuan felt a lot better, thinking that his fifth son had done a good job in the Qi family, and his grandchildren were all sensible, so a servant from the Palace of Mercy came over to invite Emperor Mu Yuan to speak .

Emperor Mu Yuan asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, she often mentions His Highness the Crown Prince recently."

Emperor Mu Yuan's good mood disappeared immediately, and Emperor Mu Yuan was really upset, but he had to go to see his old lady, and sent his servant, "I know." The son that Emperor Mu Yuan didn't want to mention now is the prince up.Emperor Mu Yuan, the emperor who always aimed to be a "peerless good father", has always cared and loved his sons, especially the prince. In the past, the five sons had a quarrel with the prince because the prince insisted on going to the south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Mu Yuan also reprimanded the fifth son .Thinking about it now, the fifth son is definitely a good son who is dedicated to the country.As for the prince...Emperor Mu Yuan didn't want to miss him anymore.

It is not unreasonable for Emperor Mu Yuan to claim to be a peerless and good father. Emperor Mu Yuan came to the throne when he was young, and he was in charge as a young man. He has been the emperor for these years.However, as the real emperor of an empire, Emperor Mu Yuan knew the importance of the army well.Looking forward 500 years and looking back [-] years, which dynasty emperor can be so generous to let his son get close to his army!
Emperor Mu Yuan's peerless father did just that, what happened?
Even a peerless good father sometimes gets hurt!

The prince hurt his father.

Emperor Mu Yuan has been the emperor for these years, even when facing powerful officials such as the British Duke, he never flinched, let alone failed.Although there were ups and downs along the way, the emperor's career was smooth, and the first big defeat he encountered in his life was all caused by the prince.It's not that Emperor Mu Yuan couldn't clean up the current chaos, but the chaos spread from south to north, and the country's vitality was greatly damaged, not to mention how the history books will judge in the future. Emperor Mu Yuan just thought about his posthumous title after death, and was afraid that he would fight downgraded.

Faint!
It's just dizzy!
The prince's performance in the imperial capital is not bad on weekdays. Emperor Mu Yuan taught the prince how to govern by hand!As far as the Jiangnan matter was concerned, Emperor Mu Yuan agreed to the prince's visit after careful consideration.The criterion for consideration is: when Fujian was defeated, the fifth son cleaned up the mess in the past, and it only took three years to get things done properly, and he also made Jingjiang a ruthless mess by the way.

Even Emperor Mu Yuan, who claims to be a peerless good father, has to admit that he spent far more effort on the prince than on the fifth son.The five sons can manage well, and it is always safe to look at the prince on weekdays. What's more, Jiangnan was sorted out by Wu Guogong, the Marquis of Nan'an. If the prince wanted to go, Emperor Mu Yuan planned it. The prince has been studying in the army for a while, so there will be no problems.

In the end, something went wrong!
Looking at the present, Jiangnan has been corrupted to this point, the prince has disappeared, and once the fifth son is gone, the situation will be stabilized!
In fact, even if Jiangnan was temporarily defeated, Emperor Mu Yuan would not blame him if the crown prince was able to hold on and make a decisive decision to take over the power of Jiangnan and continue to deal with King Jingjiang.After all, King Jingjiang was not easy to get along with, and Emperor Mu Yuan knew it well.Even in wars, no one is ever victorious.

But what about the prince?disappeared.

What a configuration Jiangnan is!
In order to have the Marquis of Nan'an, and the Duke of Wu for the government, Tang Ji, the former governor of Fujian, would go to help him, and even Li Jiujiang and others, even if Emperor Mu Yuan looked down on Li Jiujiang's background, he knew that Li Jiujiang was definitely not a waste, and even Needless to say, the allocation of middle and low-level officials is not a good arrangement.

Even if such an arrangement fails for a while, if the prince has the courage and courage of the fifth son, he will be able to turn the tide.Don't say anything about Jiangnan being dangerous, isn't the fifth son in danger now?The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh. The peerless father used to be partial to the crown prince and did not want him to be involved in danger, but when you are in danger, you can't take the nerd's set of "a son of a thousand gold, he will not sit down" seriously, if it is true " I can’t sit down.” Did the mountains and rivers of our old Mu’s family fall from the sky?

Emperor Mu Yuan was discouraged!

This is only the third generation, the majestic Duke of the Eastern Palace, how could he lose the bravery of his ancestors?
Fortunately, there are five sons, the fifth son is so upbeat, let go to Jiangnan, there is no word "no", he went immediately, and he was very upbeat when he went, not only can do things, but also has a good face.Emperor Mu Yuan made up for the face lost from the prince earlier by the fifth son.

At the thought of going to the Empress Dowager's palace to talk about the prince, Emperor Mu Yuan lost his energy. There is nothing to say about it.Jiangnan was defeated, if you want to run, you should run to Fujian, Fujian has original soldiers and horses!You are the dignified prince, Liu Fufeng and others can't keep you?As a result, you hide your head and show your tail and ran to Fujian, without thinking, Emperor Mu Yuan knew that this was Wu Guogong's idea.Why didn't Wu Guogong be the governor of Jiangnan at the beginning, and Emperor Mu Yuan didn't like his cautious and scheming temperament.Shuzhong is also good, Shuzhong is safe.If there are still problems in Shuzhong, Emperor Mu Yuan doesn't know what to say.It belongs to the old five family, this mouth is broken!Why do you say everything out, it shows that you are smart, doesn't it?

In terms of cleverness, Emperor Mu Yuan has to admit that Xie Moru is very clever, and he can guess that the crown prince is in Shuzhong... But, if you guess it, you guess it, what to say outside!
Of course, Emperor Mu Yuan just complained casually in his heart. It is estimated that Xie Moru was just guessing casually, but the queen mother took it seriously in the end.

Emperor Mu Yuan ordered people to repaint and seal the family letter of King Min's Mansion, and then he got up and went to the Palace of Mercy, knowing his mother Mo Ruozi, Queen Mother Hu really said that the prince is in danger, no matter what Queen Mother Hu said, Emperor Mu Yuan agreed to everything, and coaxed it well Old lady, Emperor Mu Yuan returned to Zhaode Hall.

Princess Wenkang also complained to her mother once, "I told you not to tell the outside world, it's only been a day, and the Manchu Emperor knows about it. Your mouth is too loose." Princess Wenkang is not a mouthful. Broken, what Xie Moru said, she didn't intend to say it outside.Seeing that her mother was worried about the prince, and would cry from time to time, Princess Wenkang whispered to her mother.In the end, if her mother knew about it, it meant that the whole world knew about it.

You said that Princess Wenkang was depressed.

Empress Dowager Hu was still in a daze, and said, "I just talked to the princess, but I didn't tell anyone else." Then she began to babble, "The princess is suffering, the grandson is hurt, and she doesn't have a backbone, I know, How can you tell that child differently. Your emperor brother also said that he will definitely save the prince."

What can Princess Wenkang say?

Instead, Princess Changtai went to the fifth prince's mansion to explain to Xie Moru. Xie Moru ordered the maid to make a pot of winter tea brought by Princess Changtai, but he didn't take this matter to heart, and said with a smile, "It's okay , In fact, I was guessing wildly, whether it is accurate or not, it is also a way, if I can find the prince Yijia, it is my merit. Even if I can't find it, I will do my best."

"Yes. I just hope that the prince will be safe and sound, and it would be better if he returns to the imperial capital sooner." Princess Changtai echoed, and then said, "The matter of the fifth brother is all about you. He is not in the imperial capital, and neither are you." If you dare to let others know, it will be hard for you to be born and catch up with this uneasy time."

The maids who make tea are all dedicated to this job. They take the mountain spring water of the day and cook it now, and then brew the tea with an elegant demeanor.Li Xuan loves tea, and the tea here from Princess Changtai has always been excellent.Xie Moru praised the good tea, and Fang said, "Fortunately, there was no chaos in the imperial capital, and we were safe and sound. On the contrary, Your Highness didn't dare to let the news go, because he was afraid that his road would be uneven. Now that he has arrived in Fujian, There is no need to hide it anymore. It is better for us to be in the imperial capital than for him to be in the south. I just hope that he is safe and sound."

"Don't worry, I think the fifth brother is a blessed one." Princess Changtai joked, "You can know that the fifth brother is lucky just by marrying you."

Xie Moru smiled, "Sister Huang made fun of me."

"When it's a joke, it's the truth." Princess Changtai smiled. She thought so more than once. Princess Changtai is older than the fifth prince, but the royal siblings also grew up together since childhood.When the fifth prince was young, he was mediocre among his brothers, his mother and concubine were not favored, his parents had no one, and his own qualifications were mediocre. To say that the fifth prince changed his luck, it really started when he married Xie Moru.At that time, everyone felt that the fifth prince married a tigress, and they were afraid that life would be difficult.But I don't want to, Xie Moru is great, and Wangfu is also true. Since the fifth prince got married, it is better to go as far as possible.Who would have thought that the fifth prince would be able to have what he is today? What Xie Moru brought to the fifth prince was not just the embarrassment of blood and the sloppy natal family. According to Princess Changtai, it is a pity that Xie Moru was born in a peaceful age. Otherwise, if there are troubled times, I don't know how to disturb the situation.Such a person, not only because of embarrassing bloodlines, but no matter how deficient they are, whoever marries them will be blessed.Of course, only those who know good and bad can have this blessing.If he met someone like the sixth prince, he would have been whipped to death by Xie Moru.It is a blessing to be born to the fifth prince, so isn't it a blessing?Princess Changtai sighed inwardly, started another topic, and said with a smile, "When I entered the palace that day, I met the princesses and princesses who were studying. Only one person."

Xie Moru's heart was moved, and he said the reason, "Miss Huang didn't know something. At first, she chose a companion for Sister Xin. One was the sister-in-law of the fourth sister-in-law, and the other was a girl from Wu Guogong's mansion. The news that came earlier, It is said that Wu Guogong died in battle, and Miss Wu must keep her grandfather's filial piety, so it is not good to be a companion. Miss Wu resigned from her job as a companion, but it happened that the imperial capital was not peaceful a while ago, and all the houses were busy. How could there be time for Sister Xin? Looking for a companion to read, I have been delayed. Now that the rebellious officials have retired, and the imperial capital is stable, I just want to find a companion to read with sister Xin. It is the honorable family of the imperial capital. I know about it Some, it's just that girls of the right age are hard to find. If Miss Huang has a good girl, tell me, it will solve my problem."

Both of them are smart people, Princess Changtai may not know that Miss Wu's family is accompanied by Sister Xin.But Princess Changtai mentioned it unintentionally, Xie Moru doesn't mind hearing what Princess Changtai means.

Princess Changtai smiled, "You are a discerning person, and I don't say those stereotypes. If you don't mean to find a companion for sister Xin to read, I won't mention it." After all, the grandfather's filial piety is only one year. Xie Moru is willing to tell sister Xin to wait for the daughter of the Wu family to give her filial piety, so Princess Changtai will not say much.Seeing that Xie Moru wanted to find another companion for Sister Xin to read, Princess Changtai said, "She is my niece from my grandfather's family. You may not have noticed her. She is nine years old and her name is Wei. The eldest daughter of my cousin Chu Guogong's son, she is older than sister Xin, and she is quite sensible. My aunt went to my house to talk about this the other day. Originally, I thought, if you have other ideas, forget it. You Since you have not been selected yet, I will mention it to you, you can decide whether it is suitable or not, you don't have to look at my face, it also depends on fate." Princess Changtai said politely, not entirely because Xie Moru's temperament is well-known in the whole emperor's capital.After all, although Xie Moru has a bit of a temper, she is not unreasonable. In addition, she and Princess Changtai have always had a good relationship, so Princess Changtai really doesn't have to be so cautious.Princess Changtai is like this for one reason.In fact, Duke Chu's mansion had some friction with Xie Moru before, and speaking of it, it's not that Duke Chu's mansion couldn't feel sorry for Xie Moru.After all, Duke Chu's mansion is not Duke Cheng'en's mansion, so Xie Moru and his ancestors didn't deal with it.However, Duke Chu’s mansion also did a very embarrassing thing. Previously, the Wanmei Palace’s plum tree was lost. Xie Moru refused to give up after taking over the Wanmei Palace, and insisted on digging the tree back.Among them, there is Chu Guogong's mansion.For this matter, Princess Changtai often blamed her family, and felt ashamed for her family to do this.At that time, Duke Chu's mansion returned the tree to Xie Moru very quickly, and paid a lot of money.But because of this matter, Chu Guogong's mansion and the fifth prince's mansion did not move around much.

Now that the fifth prince is getting more and more powerful, Chu Guogong, who is his own uncle, puts his face down and goes to Princess Changtai's house to beg and beg in person. He wants to arrange his granddaughter to be a companion for Xin, so as to ease the relationship between the two families.Princess Changtai didn't respond to Chu Guogong at the beginning, and felt that her uncle's family was not as good as that of Xie Shangshu's mansion, and her uncle's family was simply double-faced.

After all, Princess Fusheng was the one who chose Emperor Mu Yuan to marry Empress Chu.At that time, the relationship between Duke Chu's mansion and Princess Fusheng couldn't be worse.Then, after Princess Fusheng passed away, Duke Chu's mansion turned out to be one of the families who secretly bought the plum trees of Wanmei Palace.

It is completely polite to say "stealth buying", and it is "stealing" if you are not polite!
Be a thief!
Chu Guogong's mansion is shameless, but Princess Changtai still has to.

Princess Changtai didn't want to deal with this matter, so Duke Chu told the truth in a hurry, and Duke Chu was worried, "When Princess Fusheng left, the old officials were just as sorry, but what can we do? There are hundreds of people in the whole family, and thousands of people in the whole family. Clan people." Calling Chu Guogong said that when his family stole the plum tree, it was also to show loyalty to the present.

Chu Guogong begged hard, but Princess Changtai couldn't really ignore her uncle's family, so she reluctantly agreed, but she only agreed to give it a try.Even so, Chu Guogong's mansion is also grateful.

Princess Changtai looked at Xie Moru.

Xie Moru smiled, did not mention the previous matter, but said, "I have met Mrs. Chu Guogong a lot, but I have never been familiar with it. Since the imperial sister's eyesight is absolutely indistinguishable. How about this, when the imperial sister is free , please Mrs. Chu Guogong bring Miss Chu over, let's talk together, let the children meet each other, if we have similar temperaments, it's good to be a companion."

"Success." Princess Changtai agreed immediately, she was also relieved, and said with a smile, "There is no need to pick a time. I will bring my aunt and the others over on the day the children rest."

The two settled the matter.

So, this is the hostess. Although most of the things she takes care of in the imperial capital are trivial matters, many relationships, many favors, and many exchanges, it is among these many trivial matters that gradually become a tacit understanding. .

Sister Xin has long been mentally prepared to be a substitute companion. Xie Moru has already told her that girls from the Wu family must keep their filial piety, and Sister Xin cannot have only one companion by her side.

Therefore, even though she has a good relationship with Miss Wu's family, when Sister Xin sees Miss Chu, the two of them talk to each other, and they can talk together.I also know that they are all from aristocratic backgrounds. Although Miss Chu is going to be a companion, she is also the eldest granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion. As long as it is a normal family, the education of the first daughter will not be bad.What's more, Duke Chu's family is confident that she will be accompanied by Xin's son, which shows that this girl is of good quality.

It was Xie Moru who asked a few words casually. Judging from his words and deeds, there were rules and regulations. It can be seen that his family had carefully taught him since he was a child.

Xie Moru smiled and said to Mrs. Chu, "I like girls the most in my life. Seeing that Sister Wei really hits it off, if Madam is willing, why not ask Sister Wei to stay with me for a few days, and my place will be more lively."

Mrs. Chu did not expect that Xie Moru would keep her granddaughter to stay, but Chu Guogong wanted to ask his granddaughter to compete for the position of the princess of the King of Min. Naturally, he wanted to get closer to the Palace of the King of Min. Hearing what Xie Moru said, there is nothing If she didn't want to, Mrs. Chu smiled earnestly, "It's a blessing for this girl to be able to win your mother's favor."

Chu Wei also saluted, Xie Moru waved her hand to make her sit down, and smiled, "I will live with Sister Xin, your little girl's house, and we will be together as companions."

In the afternoon Princess Changtai said goodbye to Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu said she would send someone to bring clothes to her granddaughter, Xie Moru agreed with a smile.

After leaving the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Princess Changtai invited Mrs. Chu to ride with her. Mrs. Chu showed a puzzled expression when she arrived at Princess Changtai's car. She couldn't figure out whether Princess Xie agreed or not.Mrs. Chu didn't quite understand, and felt anxious, so she inevitably asked her niece, Princess Changtai, for advice.

The relationship between Princess Changtai and her mother clan has always been good, she said softly, "Princess Min has always been meticulous."

Mrs. Chu was afraid that Princess Xie would still remember the matter of Mei Shu, so she lowered her voice, "I heard that Miss Hu and Miss Wu have never stayed in the palace before."

"My aunt also knows it was before." How is the past different from the present, and the uncle's family would not have gone out of their way to send the daughter of the family to the princess of King Fujian as a companion.

Everyone knows that the Prince of Fujian's Mansion is not the same as it was in the past!
The mother clan's speed is already the last train compared to Qi Guogong's mansion and Pingguo Duke's mansion, but it is also good to catch the last train.

It's better than those who can't get a ride.
