The Wife is First - 73Chapter 73 News
“Hanzhang, don’t blame your father. There are differences between concubines and concubines. For the sake of the peace of the family, some things have to be done. The Marquis of Beiwei was depressed and could not help but drink too much.
“Why did the father say this? How could the son have any resentment against his father?” Mu Hanzhang gave his father a glass of wine. The father is the guide for the son. Even if the father wants his life, he cannot be resentful. Besides, the father is already very fond of his bastard. Not bad.
It has been a rule since ancient times that a concubine cannot inherit a title. During the reign of the late emperor, the legitimate son of the Shouchang family died in infancy. He himself had no direct brothers, so he petitioned to make the concubine his heir apparent. The late emperor took him away without saying a word. Family title. In the final analysis, the inheritance of a title depends on the grace of God. If the emperor is not happy, even if the son of an equal wife asks for the title, he will still take the title from you. Therefore, no matter how outstanding he is, the Marquis of Beiwei cannot take this risk.
Mu Hanzhang knew that for his father, keeping the title left by his ancestors was the most important thing. Only with the title could the family survive, so he, a little bastard, seemed insignificant.
Are there any parents in the world who don’t love their children? When his father taught him marksmanship, he said, “What’s the point of waiting to inherit my title? Hanzhang must be ambitious and earn his own title when he grows up!”
“Hey, you are so kind-hearted.” Bei Weihou’s eyes turned red after drinking, he looked at him and shook his head.
Mu Hanzhang frowned. It was rare to see his father so depressed. Could it be that Mu Lingbao was seriously ill? He asked tentatively: “Why didn’t father go to court today?”
“I always try to protect myself wisely, but in the end I end up stuck in the quagmire,” the Marquis of Beiwei said to himself, “You go back and tell the prince, there is nothing I can do about it.”
When Mu Hanzhang heard this, he couldn’t sit still. It turned out that his father had been nagging him for a long time not to be resentful because of Jing Shao, so there must be some kind of trap in the court today!
He hurriedly said goodbye and left. As soon as he left the Chuihua Gate, he bumped into a person walking quickly in. Mu Hanzhang was knocked staggering. Instead of apologizing, the person put his arm around his waist and pinched him secretly. “Beauty, where are you going in such a hurry?”
Mu Hanzhang’s handsome face suddenly turned red, he raised his head and stared, facing Jing Shao’s seemingly stern face. Looking at his appearance, he didn’t look like he had been wronged. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“I have been to Beiweihou’s Mansion before. How come I have never seen such a handsome person? No, no, no, I will take you back to the palace today!” Jing Shao said this and hugged the man in his arms. He stood up and pretended to sneer twice, “Beauty, don’t roll your eyes. I will divorce my concubine today and stay with you forever. I will declare in the daytime…”
Mu Hanzhang quickly covered his mouth and looked around. Yunzhu had already taken the lead and led the servant to lead the carriage.
Jing Shao stuck out his tongue and gently licked the soft palm. When he saw him move away ticklishly, he couldn’t help laughing and kissed him on the face.
Mu Hanzhang struggled down and straightened his wrinkled clothes: “Why are you so happy?”
“Hehe, because I’m going to marry a marquis and become my concubine!” Jing Shao said with a smile.
Mu Hanzhang frowned and suddenly raised his head to look at Jing Shao, “Master Hou and his concubine, what does this mean?” Could it be that Jing Shao knew that Mu Lingbao was going to die soon? Suddenly he remembered that at that time, he had been thinking about coming back years ago to do a big thing, but later he said that he couldn’t make it in time and asked others to do it. Could it be that… without saying a word, he pulled him and walked out.
Jing Shao didn’t know what was going on, thinking that his princess thought he was embarrassed and wanted to take her away quickly, so he let him pull her and deliberately dragged her backwards. It looked like she was holding a cat that had been reluctant to go out for a walk. Reluctant to walk after touching the ground.
On the way back, Yunzhu naturally drove the carriage back first, and the prince and princess rode Xiao Hei together.
“The prince fell into the water on the 39th day.” Mu Hanzhang turned to look at Jing Shao and said.
“Really?” Jing Shao asked casually and then stopped.
“Do you know?” Mu Hanzhang narrowed his eyes.
“I’ve been with you all this time, how could I know?” Jing Shao said confidently, but it sounded a bit cover-up.
Mu Hanzhang sighed, narrowed his eyes and said, “Why take such a risk for me.”
“I’m just repaying you with retaliation…” Jing Shao said proudly. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that he had let something slip. He suddenly had half a sentence stuck in his throat and did not dare to say it. He looked down and saw his princess raising her eyebrows and smiling softly. , the angry King Cheng turned his horse around and went into a back alley, grabbed the man in his arms, and kissed him ferociously.
After the long kiss ended, Mu Hanzhang panted slightly, with the corners of his eyes turning red. Jing Shao moved up to rub her against her with pity, and said softly: “I will pay back anyone who hurts you ten times or a hundred times!” Soft and low, but more impactful than shouting loudly.
Mu Hanzhang looked at him intently for a while, then slowly stroked his handsome side face: “I no longer resent him.”
Jing Shao turned his head and kissed his palm, knowing that he was afraid that he would do too much: “Don’t worry, Mu Lingbao won’t die, I’m in control of the situation!”
“Then why did you say you wanted to marry a marquis as your concubine?” Mu Hanzhang raised his eyebrows.
“Well…” Jing Shao leaned over and bit an ear, “I’ll tell you tonight.”
The two of them returned to the palace quarrelsomely, and Mr. Yun said that Dr. Jiang was visiting.
Imperial Physician Jiang was Jiang Lang’s father, whom Jing Shao came to see the princess during their wedding. This person has always been unwilling to get too close to the royal family and nobles, but why did he take the initiative to visit today?
The two looked at each other, Mu Hanzhang said a few words in Jing Shao’s ear, Jing Shao nodded knowingly, and they went to the main hall together.
“Doctor Jiang, you’re fine!” Jing Shao politely asked him to sit down without the courtesy of Dr. Jiang.
“Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and I’m here to give you New Year’s gifts.” Doctor Jiang was obviously not very good at this, and his words were a bit stiff.
Mu Hanzhang chuckled and took the things that Imperial Physician Jiang was carrying with his own hands: “You are so polite, old lady. How can the Jiang family and Prince Cheng’s mansion need these false gifts?”
Imperial Doctor Jiang smiled uncomfortably. Last year, the prince said he would help Jiang Lang find a job, but he ended up being sent directly to Prince Cheng’s army. From that moment on, the Jiang family was inevitably tied to Prince Cheng. When he reacted, it was too late: “I came here today because I have something to ask the prince.”
Mu Hanzhang handed Imperial Physician Jiang’s gift to Yunzhu and whispered a few words.
Imperial Physician Jiang said that Jiang Lang’s mother had been in poor health recently and wanted to ask the prince to transfer Jiang Lang back to the capital so that he could serve his mother from time to time.
“What do I think it is? It’s easy to talk about,” Jing Shao said with a smile, “I’ll make arrangements for him after the Lantern Festival, but it’s best to wait until his reward comes down. If he has a higher position, he can arrange a good job. .”
“Then thank you so much, Your Majesty!” Doctor Jiang sighed.
“Jiang Lang is the right-hand man of the prince. Even if he is transferred back to the capital, he will never be bullied by others. Just don’t worry.” Mu Hanzhang said seemingly casually.
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Jiang’s expression, which had just been soothing, could not help but become tense again. The battle for the crown prince is now almost on the table. He doesn’t want to get involved, but Princess Cheng’s words are true. Now, no matter where Jiang Lang goes, others know that he is from Prince Cheng’s army. Once the brand is branded, it will be difficult to break free. Thinking about this, I can’t help but feel a little depressed.
While Zhen was talking, Yunzhu came in holding a box.
“These are some rare medicinal materials that we got in the southwest. We won’t use them if they are left in the house. Dr. Jiang will take them and help Madam recuperate.” Mu Hanzhang motioned to Yunzhu to pass the box over.
“This…” Dr. Jiang wanted to refuse, but the princess had already stopped talking, and he couldn’t say no, so he had to accept it.
When Dr. Jiang answered the call, Mu Hanzhang sat next to his prince and said calmly: “There is a little thing I want to ask you about.”
“Princess, please speak.” The person is short-handed, and everyone said it was a trivial matter, so Doctor Jiang couldn’t refuse.
“The prince of Beiweihou Mansion invited the imperial doctor to see him a few days ago. I don’t know what kind of disease he has?” Mu Hanzhang rubbed the tea cup in his hand and asked slowly, “I heard it is very serious. I’m afraid… …” The last word was drawn out with a slight sigh.
“Princess, don’t be too sad,” Imperial Physician Jiang sighed, “That area is the weakest. I’m afraid it will be difficult to recover from this frostbite. Even Imperial Physician Zheng is at a loss.”
