I saw the overwhelming splendid river lanterns on the moat. People on both sides of the bank saw it and sighed, "What a luxurious scene."

The rich and powerful would only place a hundred or so lanterns for their loved ones.

It is really rare to spend as much money as the regent.

Many people and women cast envious glances.

Mu Tingxue stood at the end of Fuu Bridge, looking at this grand scene, she couldn't help but be stunned. She said, when she gave the lantern to Yan Yang just now, why didn't he give it back? He was waiting here!

Strong joy and emotion surged into my heart.

"Gee, it's nice to be young."

A familiar voice came from his side.

Mu Tingxue turned her head subconsciously, and it was her uncle Yan Xi.

He was in good spirits, and there was no trace of illness on his face. He was smiling and came to put the river lanterns with his aunt Mu Chuyao.

They can be regarded as a pair of red sunset couples.

Mu Chuyao greeted the eldest princess and said she was going to a roadside lantern shop to buy a new style fish shadow lantern.

Mu Tingxue and Yan Xi stood side by side, and the uncle and nephew looked at the gorgeous river in the distance.

"Brother-in-law and aunt are very affectionate now." Going round and round, it can be regarded as a positive result.

"My uncle was a romantic bastard when he was young. He always felt that the wife at home was not good, so he looked for help from outside the family." A look of shame appeared on Yan Xi's face, "It was Yan Yang who woke me up. He was still young at that time. Very knowledgeable, but deeper than my uncle."

Mu Tingxue was a little surprised: "Oh?"

Is there still such a thing as the past?

Yan Xi narrowed his eyes, looked at the river with sadness, and said softly: "Your Highness also knows that when I was young, I spent all the time in a brothel and had a close relationship with an oiran who was good at singing and dancing. She was like an interpretive flower and was understanding. , and passionate, which is completely different from the dull and polite wife at home. I was deeply infatuated with Hongye, and even agreed to her request to redeem her life and bought her an outhouse. "

Mu Tingxue listened quietly.

original.

Renqing's mother escaped from suffering for a time and became her brother-in-law's concubine.

But she later died of severe syphilis as a low-level prostitute.

"After Hongye became a concubine, one day she suddenly expressed the hope that I would take her back to the Yan family, even as a concubine or maid, so that she could at least see me every day."

Yan Xi suddenly laughed bitterly, "But mother, your grandmother, immediately rejected this request. Not only did Hongye strictly prohibit Hongye from entering the house, but he also confiscated all my property deeds outside, including the place where Hongye lived, and directly I kicked her out. I was punished by family law and was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for one month and was not allowed to leave."

Mu Tingxue understood: "Hongye has lost his place of residence, his source of income, and he has no other livelihood skills. He can only return to Xiaoxiang Shuiyun Pavilion?"

Yan Xi nodded: "At that time, I was punished by my mother and locked up in a small dark room. I didn't know that she was pregnant."

Mu Tingxue originally sympathized with Renqing's biological mother.

But after hearing this, I discovered something was wrong.

A woman from a brothel was pleased with the handsome second son of the Yan family, who was extremely powerful in Yundu. She redeemed herself and became a foreigner. If she is content with the status quo and has no ambitions, then Mrs. Yao Guo's gentle and virtuous temperament will definitely not take the initiative to make things difficult for her. Hongye only needs to survive until her grandmother dies, and she will be able to get rid of the danger and have a life of wealth and peace of mind.

But she was not satisfied with being an outsider, she wanted to enter the house.

Only then did the tragedy happen.

This means that your heart is as high as the sky, but you are stuck in the mud, and your life is as thin as paper.

"Due to the pressure from my family, I basically severed my relationship with Hongye. I heard that she fell into prostitution again, which made my heartache. Three years later, I was responsible for handling a major court case and went to Songzhou in the south for half a year. I heard that Hongye came to visit again. My mother was very angry and casually asked Yan Yang, the eldest grandson next to me, what he thought of this matter."

Yan Xi's expression became solemn, "The regent, who was still a child, only replied that husband and wife are the first of the five ethics. After husband and wife, there are father and son, brothers, friends, monarchs and ministers. The wife gives birth to children for her husband, and continues The most important thing is to provide incense for the clan. Concubines, maids, and prostitutes are objects of pleasure. They can be put away, given away, or exchanged for horses. Never let them despise the principal wife! "

Mu Tingxue's pupils shrank violently.

My husband is a pure man from ancient feudal society. It is not surprising that he would treat prostitutes, concubines, and concubines this way.

Even, judging from the background of the times, there is no problem with his three views. You can't use modern standards to ask him.

But these words——

At that time, did it reach the ears of Hong Ye, who was begging for help outside the door and was about to die of illness?

Did the three-year-old wolf cub Renqing hear it?

"When I came home from a business trip, I was very ashamed when I heard what my nephew said." Yan Xi sighed deeply, "After that, I began to reflect on myself, began to re-examine my wife, and tried to get along with her as much as possible."

Mu Tingxue felt as if she had knocked over the tasteless bottle in her heart.

She finally knew the reason why Renqing was hostile to Yan Yang.

Why, he tried his best to return to the Zhenbei Army and go on an expedition with the Regent!

I'm afraid he wants to take revenge secretly.

"My aunt is back." Mu Tingxue said goodbye to Yan Xi and went to find the child's father.

That compartment.

Yan Yang and Li Yuan have finished their fight.

Cousin Yuan was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He was lying on the ground, still cursing.

"I have something to tell you."

Mu Tingxue walked over anxiously, took her husband's hand, and dragged him to her boat.

The two were able to be alone.

Yan Yang thought that his wife was moved by the ten thousand lanterns, so she pulled him into the boat and gave him a kiss as a reward.

But who knows——

When my wife opens her mouth, it’s about politics.

"When we send troops to the north tomorrow, you must not take Renqing with you. There is a mountain of work in the household department, and you can't do without him."

"Forehead……"

The small flame of anticipation in Yan Yang's eyes extinguished.

"Did he come to see you?"

"found."

Yan Yang answered truthfully, "However, since it is Madam's wish, I won't take him with me in this battle."

Mu Tingxue was reassured and breathed a sigh of relief: "Just let Zhaoyi go out with you."

"The imperial court also installed a civilian official as a supervisor to accompany the army. He used civilians to control military force and restrain me."

When this matter was brought up, Yan Yang couldn't help but frown, his tone bored.

"Who?"

"The newly appointed Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, Li Junxin."

No general would like the civil servants sent by the imperial court to accompany him and monitor him, pointing fingers from the side.
