Cute concubine has three treasures: husband hugs and holds high

Chapter 29 The Story of King Mu

"No!" He refused mercilessly.

"Brother Prince, because of you, he doesn't even listen to the words of the princess-to-be. If you don't accompany me, I will go after Yuwen Xianan now." The women passing by covered their faces and peeked.

The reason why he came to the city gate was not because Yuwen Jingyin asked him to take Yuwen Xia Nan back.However, seeing that the little baby is here, if he takes action against Yuwen Xia Nan, the consequences can be imagined.

But the little baby is not here, and he doesn't plan to do anything to Yuwen Xia Nan.Take Yuwen Shanan back?The princess he fancied wants to do a show for others to see, and he can still see it.

"Yuwen Xia Nan's sister wants to take Xia Nan back?" Qin Xiaoxi's mood was a little delicate.

Yan Wuchen looked at her crystal-clear purple eyes, and smiled, "Yeah, smart little baby, guess if I will help the Crown Princess?"

"You can't." After thinking for a while, combined with the appearance of His Royal Highness the crown prince standing and not planning to move at this moment, Qin Xiaoxi's impression of Yuwen Xia Nan's sister improved a little.

Yan Wuchen smiled, "So smart. Does that little baby want to go home now, or go to the teahouse with me?"

After being praised, Qin Xiaoxi chose the latter.

The market gradually became lively.Yan Wuchen always had a faint smile, and talked to the little girl beside him in a soft tone.Of course, I didn't intend to deliberately avoid it.

He chatted from the secrets of the palace to the anecdotes and strange things in the world, but he didn't ask her to respond.

It looks like you're having a fight?Could it be because he chose Yuwen Jingyin?
With a helpless smile, Yan Wuchen said, "Little baby, there are only two candidates for the crown princess - one is your second sister and the other is Yuwen Jingyin. And since you have become Princess Mu, I absolutely cannot marry your second sister. This is related to the peace of Xia Nanguo in the future, so I'm sorry..."

In fact, whoever he marries as his wife is his freedom, and he has no need to apologize.But he happened to meet a little girl who softened his heart.

Why did the topic change so quickly?
Qin Xiaoxi glanced at him, and said in a puzzled tone, "Why can't you marry someone else?"

She was finally willing to talk to him.Yan Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief, and explained patiently, "Because I am the prince, the future king of Xia Nanguo. And the future queen of Xia Nanguo must come from a big family. This is a political check and balance. The two biggest Xia Nanguo The family is the Qin family and the Yuwen family. They also have a certain right to speak in the court. When I first ascended the throne, I had to have the support of the Qin family or the Yuwen family to quickly secure that seat."

"Then why can't you marry the second sister?"

"Because you have become Princess Mu. If the Qin family produces a princess, then the Qin family will overwhelm the Yuwen family. All along, the Yuwen family and the Qin family have suppressed each other. Once which family gets more rights If there are too many, the other family must be dissatisfied. The dissatisfied family may do something excessive to maintain its position. The Yuwen family now holds part of the military power, so it cannot be offended."

Qin Xiaoxi nodded with a half understanding.Although she can play some tricks, but... she can't think of so many.My brother hasn't had time to teach her these things... She can only half understand the rules of this world.

"So, no matter how stunning the other family's women are, the crown princess is not their turn."

"Brother Prince, why do you want to be a prince. Listen to me, being a prince is very tiring." Qin Xiaoxi asked, her eyes flickering with puzzlement.

Why be a prince?Yan Wuchen shook his head, a bit of confusion appeared in his eyes.Entering the eyes, the children are laughing and playing, the women are shopping slowly, and the hawkers are yelling. In fact, he should prefer this kind of life, but he just likes it.

"Because... my mother is the queen, and I am the son-in-law. I was born to bear these burdens."

From the beginning of his memory, people around him told him that he was the future king, and over time, he subconsciously thought that he was the future king.His father taught him the emperor's art when he was very young, he must learn it, otherwise he will not be able to eat.Although his father didn't canonize him as a prince before, he already enjoyed the treatment of a prince.He has to help his father deal with political affairs every day, and he is very tired, but...he has no right to complain.

Yan Wuchen led her into a restaurant.

"Xiaoer, a private room." Throwing down a silver ingot, Yan Wuchen said indifferently.

The shop waiter agreed and led them to a separate small private room on the second floor.

"Bring in a portion of all the delicious food from your place." Yan Wuchen said.

"Okay, wait a minute."

There was tea in the private room, Yan Wuchen poured a cup of tea and brought it to Qin Xiaoxi's hand. "Drink the water obediently."

Qin Xiaoxi curled her lips, took a sip from the teacup. "Brother Prince, what are we doing here?"

"Let's see if I'm lucky, if I can meet that storyteller who is famous in the imperial city within a few days." Yan Wuchen smiled.

Storyteller?Qin Xiaoxi thought for a while, and a handsome man appeared in her mind.To be honest, in terms of appearance, the storyteller is not comparable to the prince's brother, but the storyteller's voice is not comparable to the prince's brother.That kind of voice that makes people trust him willingly has fascinated thousands of girls.

"Brother Prince is prettier than him." Qin Xiaoxi said seriously.

"Well, I'm just bored and want to listen to it. If you want to know anything else, you can ask me."

Whether King Mu will teach her these things, he doesn't know, but he thinks it is necessary for her to learn them.After all, she is Princess Mu, and she also has to deal with people in the palace.People in the palace are sinister. If she wants to learn how to survive in the palace, she must first know how people live in the palace.He, the prince who lives in the East Palace, can be considered to have survived very well in the Palace.

"Then, brother prince, can you tell me about King Mu." After all, she is the one who will live together in the future, so how can she not know him well.Although she had known him for a long time, she knew almost nothing about him.

"Mu Wang?" Yan Wuchen raised his eyebrows in surprise, but still nodded, "Yes, but I may not know much."

"King Mu is two years older than me. Before I was born, he had already lived in the palace. As far as I can remember, I knew his existence. His mother and concubine are not from a powerful family. At that time, I didn't like him very much, so his status in the palace was not high at that time, and it could even be said that he was bullied by others."

"Later, when I was eight years old and King Mu was ten years old, King Mu won the love of his father with a poem, and the poem was spread to the people, and he was also loved by the people. King Mu became a genius. At that time, my mother , that is, the queen told me that I must be careful of King Mu. After all, King Mu is the eldest son, and I am the eldest son. According to the rules of etiquette, we may all become princes."

"Later, I was 81 years old, and when King Mu was 13 years old, King Mu went to the frontier and repelled the Arctic Kingdom. At that time, King Mu's name was resounding throughout Xia Nanguo. After King Mu returned to the country, he was named King Mu by his father. Unfortunately, When King Mu returned to the palace, all he could see was the corpse of his mother and concubine. The emperor father only valued King Mu, so at that time, his mother and concubine were not buried with honor, and the emperor did not even order the cause of death to be investigated."

"The queen mother saw that King Mu was pitiful, so she asked the emperor to adopt King Mu to her name, and the emperor agreed. At that time, the queen mother returned to her Wutong Palace and called King Mu over. I heard the queen mother said to King Mu, Either drink the medicine, or wait for the same fate as his mother and concubine to fall on him. I saw King Mu drink up the black medicine held by the maid in one gulp." Yan Wuchen took a sip Tea, there is a bit of unbearable brow.

"Later, I asked the maid, and the maid told me that after drinking the medicine, King Mu would never have any children of his own in this life. It is impossible for the father to appoint a man without offspring as the crown prince. Therefore, King Mu lost the battle for the crown prince. Qualifications."

"Mu Wang adopted his mother, and the mother really treated Mu Wang well. That bowl of medicine was probably the worst thing the mother did to Mu Wang. Since then, the mother has raised Mu Wang like her own son. However, King Mu still doesn't want to be called Queen Mother."

"Probably that's it."

"I think, I know why King Mu doesn't want to call the queen mother queen." After sorting out her thoughts in her mind, Qin Xiaoxi smiled slyly.

"Oh? Why?" Yan Wuchen was curious.

"When you told the story just now, you were talking about King Mu, not Big Brother." Qin Xiaoxi put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Xiao Er brought into her mouth, looked into his eyes and smiled.

Those purple eyes seemed to see through everything.Yan Wuchen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Well, what the little boy said makes sense." No matter when and where, all he can call is Mu Wang coldly, not big brother.Because the queen mother told him that there was no close relative in the palace, and it was also King Mu whom the queen mother called him.He couldn't even call him big brother, so how could he expect King Mu to call him queen mother?

"Mu Wang's mother and concubine died. I listened to my mother's words and stayed with him day and night, maybe to monitor him. To be honest, I have never seen Mu Wang cry. Later, Mu Wang lived in Wutong Palace. I asked him, his mother and concubine died. Isn’t he sad? I still remember his answer, it seems to be the longest sentence he ever said to me.”

Glancing at the little girl who was listening seriously, Yan Wuchen suddenly shut up, drinking tea and eating cakes leisurely.

Qin Xiaoxi yelled in confusion, "Brother Prince?" Her voice was soft, with a hint of coquettishness.

"..." He seemed to have no choice but to say nothing, and it was rare for her to be coquettish to him, "Let me repeat what he said to you."

He cleared his throat, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of solid ice. However, his eyes could shoot out through the ice, because his eyes were even colder. "Why are you crying? If I cry, can my mother and concubine come back? If I cry, can I know how my mother and concubine died?
