The Wife is First - 93 Chapter 93 Fighting

“The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is flat, and there is basically no danger to defend the Huainan area. This is a reward for nothing!” The fourth prince paced in Fengyi Palace, “Mother, I must get the command of the attack on Huainan this time!”

He then nodded. Now that Jing Yu is coming of age, he needs to make meritorious service as soon as possible so that he can be crowned the king in time: “If I had known that Southeast was so easy to fight, I should have let you go. I heard from Emperor Hongzheng that the Southeast King was unlucky for himself. , was killed by his concubine, Jing Shao took the southeast without any effort at all.

The two people in Fengyi Palace here were excited, fearing that others would take the lead, and the atmosphere in Beiwei Hou Mansion was also tense.

“What’s going on?” Mu Hanzhang hurriedly walked in and asked his father who was sitting aside.

Marquis Beiwei frowned, but his eyes could not hide the hope: “Maybe it will be soon.”

Mu Hanzhang watched the girl hurriedly come in and out, listened to the screams of pain that escaped from the inner room from time to time, clasped his hands together, but didn’t know what to do.

“Don’t be afraid.” Jing Shao, who insisted on following, saw that his princess was so nervous and hurriedly walked over and hugged him, “I heard that the second pregnancy went smoothly. My mother didn’t waste any effort when she gave birth to me.”

Mu Hanzhang glanced at him: “How do you know?”

“Everyone in the palace said so. It is said that Dr. Wenpo heard my crying within a quarter of an hour just after he entered,” Jing Shao said proudly.

“The prince must have been very thin when he was a child.” The third lady who came to join in the fun couldn’t help but interject after hearing this.

Mu Hanzhang glanced at his third aunt with a flattering smile, and then at Jing Shao.

Jing Shao didn’t seem to hear the third lady’s words at all, and continued to tease his princess: “That’s why my father said that I am a lucky star, and I will definitely make Dachen have good weather.”

Xiaoshao is 90%, and there is a phoenix coming to the instrument. Maybe the young Emperor Hongzheng really liked this son, Mu Hanzhang thought in a daze, it was hard to imagine that Jing Shao would be thin and small when he was a child: “Then what were you like when you were a child?”

“I was fat when I was a kid.” Jing Shao puffed up his cheeks and tried to look like a fat man.

“Haha…” Mu Hanzhang was finally amused by him. He reached out and poked his bulging face, and the top-heavy nervousness disappeared.

The third lady was pushed aside in embarrassment and sat back down again.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, Jing Shao was afraid that his princess would be tired from standing, so he hugged him and leaned against him. For the first time, Mu Hanzhang did not refuse intimate behavior outside. Even though he was no longer so nervous, he still felt uncontrollable fear in his heart. Women had to go through hell once they gave birth to children. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if his mother had any shortcomings. The steady arms around his waist and the warm chest against his back gave him great courage, as if he didn’t have to worry even if the sky fell.

“Guwa Guwa…” A crisp cry broke through the silence in the room. The Marquis of Beiwei suddenly stood up from his seat, but he couldn’t go in, so he just paced back and forth in front of the inner room door.

Po Wen came out with a happy face: “Congratulations, Mr. Marquis, you are a young master!”

“Really!” Mu Jin seemed to be several years younger all of a sudden, with a smile that couldn’t be hidden on his usually calm face.

Jing Shao patted the excited person in his arms and asked, “Is Mrs. Side okay?”

“Everything is safe, Madam,” Po Wen said hurriedly, “Thanks to the care she received over the past six months, Madam is in good health.”

Mu Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and now a smile appeared on his face. Jing Shao took advantage of others not paying attention and quickly kissed the curved corner of his mouth.

Not long after, Mrs. Wen went in and carried the clean baby out. Mu Jin took the soft quilt very excitedly, and Jing Shao and his wife also moved over to take a look curiously. His little face was wrinkled up, his skin was red, his eyes were closed, and he couldn’t tell what he looked like. However, the third lady praised loudly: “He looks so handsome, just like Han Zhang when he was a child!”

When Mrs. Beiwei Hou heard that it was a son, her face turned gloomy. Now when she heard the third lady’s words, her face became even more ugly.

Jing Shao stared at this freshly baked brother-in-law for a long time, but he didn’t see how she looked like his own princess. The wrinkles looked like Defu’s bun face, but he didn’t dare to say this.

Mu Hanzhang glanced at Madam Beiwei Hou who had not opened her mouth to award the servant, and said with a smile: “Father hasn’t named my brother yet.”

“It’s called Dragon Scale! Hahaha…” Mu Jin lifted his youngest son up and looked at it, and was satisfied with it.

The last of the nine treasures is “Lingmo Dao Yi, called Dragon Scale”.

Mu Hanzhang nodded. When he grows up, his first name can be “Ling Mo”, which sounds elegant and nice, but Dragon Scale is a bit stiff, so from now on he will be called Linger.

The servants all reacted after hearing this, and came forward to congratulate one after another. Marquis Beiwei said happily: “Reward! Each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver!”

“Thank you, Mr. Marquis!” The servants immediately beamed with joy. Usually when someone is added to the house, the young lady will be rewarded with one tael, and the young master will be rewarded with 2 taels. As expected, this young master is the most favored.

When Mrs. Beiweihou heard this, she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. She deliberately delayed it for a while so that the servants could see clearly who was the mistress of the house. Unexpectedly, Beiweihou would speak first, and the men of the Mu family simply did not speak. I don’t know the rules of rewards in the mansion at this time!

Mu Hanzhang glanced at Mrs. Beiwei Hou calmly and thought that when he went to Jiangnan in a few days, he would have to keep Ge Ruoyi here to take care of Lin’er.

On the way back, Mu Hanzhang kept a smile on his face.

“If you don’t want Lin’er to seize the title of Marquis Beiwei, you can actually let him inherit your title.” Seeing how happy he was, Jing Shao also curled his eyes.

“How can that be done? Marquis Wenyuan is not hereditary.” Mu Hanzhang shook his head. His younger brother was just born, so it is not certain what path he will take in the future. It is too early to say now. As long as he can grow up safely, he will good.

The joy of the Marquis of Beiwei obviously could not spread to the court. When he went to court the next day, Mu Hanzhang immediately concealed the smile on his face as soon as he entered the palace gate and walked in as calmly as water.

“Father, I am willing to go!” When it came to attacking Jiangnan, the fourth prince couldn’t wait to stand up.

“Although Huainan is not as vast as the southwest, it is better because of the fertile land,” the Minister of War frowned and said, “The King of Huainan has accumulated experience over several generations and is well-equipped. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with.”

“Then according to Sun Shangshu’s wishes, who should be sent there?” Emperor Hongzheng’s eyes were dark, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

“I believe that the Huainan fiefdom is extremely important, and for the sake of safety, I should send King Cheng there.” The Minister of War said calmly.

“I believe that although the fourth prince is young, he is calm and decisive, and is worthy of a big responsibility. There is nothing wrong with sending the fourth prince there.” The Minister of Punishment said.

Mu Hanzhang glanced at Jingchen calmly and continued to lower his eyes without saying a word.

“The fourth prince is about to come of age. He should have some experience. In my opinion, this Huainan rebellion is a good opportunity!” The talkative Yongchang Bo was thrown to Dian Tibet, and Mao Guogong had to speak in person. It is not surprising to say these words due to his identity.

There was an argument in the court for a while, and Emperor Hongzheng remained silent. When the time was almost up, he stood up and said, “That’s it for today. We will discuss this matter tomorrow.” After that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Everyone couldn’t guess what Emperor Hongzheng meant. It had been a few days since the news about Jiangnan came back, but the emperor had not lifted the ban on King Cheng. So everyone speculated whether he would not interrupt King Cheng this time, but today’s situation , and it seems that he does not intend to send the fourth prince there.

“Is the emperor waiting for King Cheng to admit his mistake?” After leaving the main hall, the two officials whispered.

“What mistake did King Cheng make?” Another person frowned.

“I heard that he had a stubborn temper and contradicted the emperor.” The speaker looked around and said, “In my opinion, the emperor still prefers Cheng Wang. Today, the four princes all said that, but they didn’t get a single accurate word. .”

The fourth prince who was passing by on the high platform could not help clenching his fists when he heard the discussion below, and turned around and walked towards Fengyi Palace.

Mu Hanzhang and Jingchen looked at each other, then turned and left tacitly.

“Hanzhang, do you want to go back with your father to see your brother?” The Marquis of Beiwei was still immersed in the joy of winning an old man.

“Father.” Mu Hanzhang responded and winked at him.

The Marquis of Beiwei realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly suppressed his smile: “What does the prince mean by this mission of attacking Huainan?”

Mu Hanzhang sighed: “The prince has been very anxious in the palace, and he hopes to use this excuse to get his confinement lifted.”

After hearing this, several officials passing by looked at each other. When Bei Weihou raised his head, they hurriedly bowed their heads and left.

That night, Emperor Hongzheng stayed at Fengyi Palace.

“Your Majesty, Yu’er is about to reach adulthood, but he has not made any achievements. His two brothers have been crowned kings, so it’s time to give him a chance to practice.” He then carefully served Emperor Hongzheng to take off his coat, thinking of his son today. He looked so angry that he couldn’t help but frown secretly. Jing Yu took this matter too seriously, maybe the emperor didn’t let go just because he didn’t like his anxious look.

“Conferred the title of king?” Emperor Hongzheng glanced at his successor, “Isn’t Jingrong not granted the title of king yet? Why are you so anxious?”

Can that be the same? The queen secretly gritted her teeth, still smiling gently: “Jing Yu is the legitimate son after all. Although there is an order of birth, there is still a difference between legitimate sons and daughters.”

When Emperor Hongzheng heard this, his expression immediately turned cold: “Is there any difference between concubine and concubine?”

The queen was shocked. Could it be that she was wrong? Suddenly a flash occurred in his mind, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: “The royal family does not pay attention to this, I have made a mistake.”

Emperor Hongzheng himself was not the daughter of an empress. He hated anyone who mentioned the difference between his concubine and his concubine. He glanced coldly at his descendant who lowered his head. When Empress Yuan was there, all concubines and concubines were treated equally.

“I just feel that King Cheng was a little complacent after breaking two vassals in a row. Now he dares to contradict the emperor. If he is released because of the war, I’m afraid…” He then glanced at Emperor Hongzheng carefully. His expression did not finish his words, but everyone could hear the meaning behind his words.

Emperor Hongzheng didn’t say anything this time. He just glanced at Jihou for a few times, then turned and walked to the bed: “If Jingyu wants to fight, let him come over and tell me personally tomorrow morning.”

Jihou’s eyes lit up, he responded, and hurriedly asked someone to tell the fourth prince to wait at Fengyi Palace before the court tomorrow morning, and ordered the eunuch in charge to open a side door for him.

“I heard that a message was sent from the palace last night, asking the fourth prince to go to Fengyi Palace before dawn,” Mu Hanzhang said to Jing Shao while tying the belt of his middle coat. He turned to look at him and suddenly blushed. , “You, you should wear some clothes.”

The weather was hot, so Jing Shao got out of bed and helped his princess get dressed. There was no one else around, so he walked openly and naked. When he saw Jun Qing’s handsome face, he couldn’t help but said proudly: “Why are you so shy? It’s not like you’ve never seen her before.”
