The Queen Mother has a body of ten thousand gold. You cannot be too careful. Although she has improved a lot now, she is no longer as strong and healthy as before. She basically needs help when she gets up. Two medical women were directly assigned from the Taipei Hospital to provide personal care.

Taking care of her, the imperial doctor would come to the palace every day to check her pulse, and Xiaocao would also come to the palace every now and then to check on her, hoping that the Queen Mother would recover better.

——After the Queen Mother regained consciousness later, she also regretted it very much. She was still willful at such an old age and caused such a thing. Not only did she suffer, but she also affected a lot of people, and nothing else.

Even though he didn't have enough confidence to beg his son for mercy, he finally got the original few personal palace maids back. Emperor Xuanren didn't mean to let go of his own mother, but he would definitely not condone the Queen Mother by adding two other aunts.

Being a willful person, the Queen Mother silently accepted it.

When Xiaocao entered the palace again, Emperor Xuanren looked for her.

Xiaocao has always been a little lacking in emotional intelligence, but her IQ has always been strong. Moreover, as long as she is willing to think about something, she can basically get the answer by contacting multiple pairs of related content, and it is the same now.

After understanding Emperor Xuanren's intention, he had no other ideas except that he felt that the situation in northern Xinjiang was grim.

"It's still worse than the state before the injury. It's still better than most people. Unless you stay awake for several days and use your legs excessively, there won't be any hindrance." Xiaocao said truthfully.

In fact, as a general, it is normal to have injuries on your body. Now, Mu Bei is nothing compared to those who are suffering from hidden injuries. Those people can still lead troops to fight, let alone Mu Bei.

Emperor Xuanren understood this and summoned Mu Bei the next day without concealing his intention.

The mission of the Mu family is to guard the northern border, and Mu Bei has always had the heart to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Originally, he had some doubts about whether his military power would be taken back because of his injuries. Now it seems that Emperor Xuanren is indeed not that kind of person.

The emperor who killed the donkey.

Northern Xinjiang may need him, so Mu Bei is naturally obligated. Moreover, Mu Bei also knows very well that this battle is very crucial, in order to pray for the stability of Northern Xinjiang for decades or hundreds of years in the future. Maybe after this battle, Northern Xinjiang will not need him.

The Mu family is dead, but isn't that what the Mu family wants? If they really get what they want, what will happen if they are disbanded and returned to their fields?

After leaving the government office, Mu Bei returned to the Dingbei County Prince's Mansion and told the old concubine about the matter.

The old concubine was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I will find a matchmaker to talk to the Fang family about this matter."

As Mu Bei is the only child of the Mu family, the old concubine hopes that he can get married and have children as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves of the Mu family to continue the incense. Now the emperor has asked him to get married in advance. She should be happy, but just thinking of this

The reason is that I can never lift my emotions.

The old concubine has been a woman all her life. Not only does she know how much the Mu family has paid for praying for the emperor, but she has also sacrificed a lot herself. She has experienced the loss of her father, her husband, her son, and almost lost her only grandchild. Although she has a respected status,

It is really miserable. Do you want to say that she has no regrets in her heart? That is impossible, but she knows very well that the mission of the Mu family - even if this mission is imposed by the Mu family themselves - is also the mission of many people in Northern Xinjiang.

Therefore, no matter how miserable she is, she will not stop the Mu family from going to the battlefield.

Mu Bei was silent. How should I put it? He could understand his grandmother's thoughts. However, there was probably a feeling that marrying a wife was for the purpose of having children, which made Mu Bei feel some resistance inexplicably. The original wife Guangsi, not

They are in love with each other, but they also agree. It is natural for them to work together for a common wish and give birth to offspring. But it is different now. Occasionally, they even have the treasonous idea of ​​​​cutting off the Mu family. But in the end, they just want to

Think, sanity still exists.

It would be great if the Mu family's mission could be ended with him. Although Mu Bei, like his father and ancestors, believed that the son of the Mu family should stand in Northern Xinjiang for the sake of the ancestors of the Mu family and for Northern Xinjiang.

The common people of Li pray for the land of Qi, but secretly, they still hope that their descendants can have a stable life.

Maybe it can really be settled this time.

After gathering her mood, the old concubine said, "The wedding date has been brought forward. Although there are reasons for the incident, the girl from the Fang family has still been wronged in the end. The betrothal gift should be a little thicker. The Fang family can help as long as it is not excessive.

Just help."

"As for the betrothal gift, it's up to my grandmother to take care of it. The grandson knows about the rest."

The Mu family is rich, and a few more betrothal gifts are just a drop in the bucket.

The father of this girl is the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, a fourth-rank official. She has an uncle who is a local chief secretary and participates in politics. His family status is not low, but Mu Bei has a sense of belonging, so he chooses a wife who comes purely from profit.

, the decree of Taipu Temple in charge of herding horses was subordinate to the Ministry of War, and it was indeed linked to Mu Bei, a military general. The Fang family had needs in this regard, and it was natural for Mu Bei to facilitate it within a certain range.

The old concubine went to Fang's house with a matchmaker and vaguely explained the reason for the early marriage.

To put it bluntly, even if Mu Bei may go to the battlefield soon, I hope he gets married before then. It would be better if he can leave his bloodline, and Mu Bei can feel more at ease. After all, if there is an emergency... Of course,

It would be better if you can walk down safely.

The Fang family originally went to the Dingbei County Prince's Palace for its wealth, prominence and connections. They wanted to get married with the Dingbei County Prince's Palace. There were many people with higher family status than the Fang family. The Fang family was chosen. Many people felt that they were lucky. Now,

Due to the current situation, Dingbei County Prince's Palace wanted to consummate the marriage in advance, so there was no objection on their part.

So things were settled quickly, just half a month later.

This matter spread quickly in the imperial city. There were many people who didn't know why. They were thinking, this is the old lady's fault, so she got married in advance just to be safe? Of course, many officials quickly

After understanding what was going on, he sighed to himself, the Mu family was indeed in the heart of the emperor and had won the emperor's trust.

However, only a handful of big-shot officials knew about the all-out war with Liuqiang. Although the people below had some guesses, they only thought it was no different from usual, so they secretly felt that the Pingjin Marquis Mansion

Although it is not bad, it is still inferior to Dingbei County Prince's Mansion. Now that Dingbei King is ready, he is ready to replace the Pingjin Marquis without waiting for the normal defense change. Tsk...

Of course, there are also those with a keen sense of smell who sense something is wrong. Even if they trust King Dingbei more, King Dingbei’s original wedding date is only a few months later. It seems that there is no need to be so anxious. Therefore, it is most likely that it is from Northern Xinjiang...

The Dingbei County Prince's Palace and the Fang family are both actively planning the wedding. In fact, everything that should be prepared is almost ready. The one that is a little more troublesome is probably the wedding ceremony. After all, the original wedding was in April, and now it is early November, a spring.

One winter, the original one couldn't be used at all. The Dingbei County Prince's Palace wanted to send an embroiderer to help. As a result, the embroiderer from the Internal Affairs Office over there went directly to the Fang family. The Fang family naturally didn't have the face to do so, but it was all because

Because of Mu Bei, the Fang family was flattered and overjoyed.

——This is also the compensation given by Emperor Xuanren to Mu Bei.

Mu Bei personally went to the Fang family to make a betrothal gift. Although the betrothal gift was not as generous as Wei Tingyu had prepared before, it was still more than 99% of other families. Mu Bei's attitude was also respectful, and it could be said that he had done enough for the Fang family.

face.

However, a fourth-grade official has a son-in-law who is a super-ranked king, and his attitude is quite good. This young minister of Taipu Temple, Mr. Fang, can be said to have a glowing face. He is very proud of himself. How many people didn't take him seriously at first.

Everyone took the initiative to talk to him, and many of them were complimentary. Including Mr. Fang's direct boss, they all became more kind and even hinted that he was getting old and it was time to retire and return to his hometown.

Mr. Fang had always been ambitious, but this time it became more vivid. He felt that when his boss retired, the position of Taipusi Minister would definitely be his. However, there was a saying that "Extreme joy brings sorrow". After Mr. Fang originally went to the Yamen,

I went for a drink with my colleagues to show off, but was called back by my family midway, and the news I got was like a bolt from the blue...

The girl from the Fang family, the fiancée of King Dingbei, ran away the day after she was hired by the Prince of Dingbei County and escaped from the engagement!

Mr. Fang's vision turned black and he almost fainted, "This evil girl, this evil girl——"

Mrs. Fang cried until her eyes almost swelled into walnuts.

The Fang family was in chaos, but they didn't dare to say anything. They just hoped that they could find him and smooth things over.

"Look, look for me immediately, we must find him!" Mr. Fang was almost murderous at this moment.

Mu Bei had given the Fang family a lot of face, and even the emperor had asked about the wedding. There were only a few days until the official wedding date. If the bride-to-be ran away at this time, not to mention angering the Prince of Dingbei County, the emperor would probably have to directly

Condemnation, which originally had great glory, may fall into the mud in a blink of an eye. Not only Master Fang cannot accept it, not even the Fang family can accept it.

"Mom, what happened to my little sister? How could she do such a thing?"

Miss Fang's biological brother failed to study, so he found connections to fill a small vacancy in the Jiucheng Army and Horses Department. After originally getting engaged to the Prince of Dingbei County, he had already jumped three levels. Now it is considered a certainty that he will be the next one.

, at least before the fourth level, it should have risen quite quickly, and I have tasted the benefits. I used to treat my sister just like me, but it can be said to be a 180-degree change. I don’t give away anything delicious and fun. Now my little sister

After playing like this, he could be said to be furious and furious.

After Mr. Fang was initially angry, he finally calmed down and began to ask what was going on.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault..." Mrs. Fang blamed herself extremely, and then told the cause and effect intermittently.

But it turned out that before getting engaged to Mu Bei, this girl Fang was also discussing a marriage to Mrs. Fang's natal nephew. It was a typical cousin discussion. As a result, the imperial court issued a new law prohibiting collateral blood relations within the fourth generation.

They were getting married. The marriage was about to take place, and as soon as the decree came out, it was natural that it would become illegal. Who would have thought that these cousins ​​​​had a deep love for each other.

That was a legal requirement, and it was no different. Later, the old concubine of the Prince of Dingbei County wanted to find her granddaughter-in-law. Because the requirements for family status were not so high, the Fang family also thought about it. Although they felt that there was little hope, they still looked for connections.

Together.

I originally thought that the old concubine would find someone who was a little older and could get married earlier. After all, King Dingbei was already quite old, and the Prince of Dingbei County had no descendants, but the age was more suitable. Basically, it was because of the heart rhythm.

Those who break off the engagement will have some troubles, especially emotional entanglements. After all, the guard between men and women is not so strict after the engagement. The old lady simply found someone who has not been engaged yet and is a little younger, so she can wait patiently for another year or two.

Years old, I didn’t expect to be picked up by the Fang family in the end.

Mrs. Fang knew what her daughter was thinking. After all, after the marriage was ruined, Miss Fang cried a lot. It was a sure thing, and for the Fang family, Dingbei County Prince's Palace was like a good marriage with smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. Mrs. Fang persuaded her daughter with good words.

, let’s pretend that the past thing didn’t exist. In the future, she will marry into the Dingbei County Prince’s Palace, and she will become the Princess of the County after passing through. Many people will envy her.

Miss Fang was originally a very lively girl, but after getting engaged to Mu Bei, she became more and more silent. In the past year and a few months, she had proposed to break off the engagement with King Dingbei several times, but her mother was rejected.

She was suppressed, but one time later, her father and brother found out about it. They turned against each other mercilessly, scolded her severely, and made her kneel in the ancestral hall. After that, Miss Fang seemed to no longer fight, and let her learn something

They all study hard, which is good in the first place. After all, marrying into a county prince's palace is no better than other families. The head mother of the family needs to be able to support her.

Who would have thought that, on the surface, he had learned to be good, but the reason for learning to be good was just to make the family relax their vigilance, but in private, he was still in contact with that cousin. This person has a rebellious mentality, and he was separated suddenly, and he looked more and more like

As fate would have it, the two of them had long planned to elope, leaving home and going outside. No one knew they were cousins, so no one could stop them from getting together.

The planning was almost complete, but who knew the wedding date would actually be moved forward.

She simply refused to do anything, and Ms. Fang used the excuse of offering incense to pay off her wish. She was supposed to go out in a few days and it was not suitable to go out at this time. However, Mrs. Fang couldn't stand her daughter's pleading and agreed. After agreeing, her daughter ran away.
