I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Mu Mingtang's face blushed, and Xie Xuanchen's last words sounded nothing. She also felt that she was justified and pitiful. But combined with Xie Xuanchen's previous sentence, it is a bit unclear.

Mu Mingtang didn't know if Xie Xuanchen just said it casually, or if he really meant something. She was afraid that she would think too much and be affectionate, so she didn't dare to answer the conversation at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm sleepy, go to sleep."

Xie Xuanchen was not surprised by the result. He nodded, stood up and touched Mu Mingtang's hair, and said, "It's not dry yet, wait a while."

Xie Xuanchen's movements were natural, and Mu Mingtang became more and more accustomed to the physical contact between the two, and he didn't feel any difference. She also touched the tips of her hair and said, "I think it's almost done."

"Wait a little longer." Xie Xuanchen said, "The roots of the hair are not dry yet, so it is easy to get a headache when sleeping."

Mu Mingtang nodded. After she finished speaking, she didn't know what to think of, and she chuckled: "I really can't imagine that this kind of thing came from your mouth. You don't worry about everything, you live so rough, you can even notice These ones?"

Xie Xuanchen really couldn't refute this, because his mother said it.

"When I was young, my mother always talked to me. I thought my left ear went in and my right ear came out. I thought I had forgotten it. I didn't expect it to be in my ears after so long."

It turned out that Mrs. Yin said, Mu Mingtang was silent. Speaking of sorrow, she and Xie Xuanchen are married, but no one has seen each other's parents.

In troubled times, no matter how high or low, they are all drifting. Their homes are gone, and now only two of them are left, relying on each other.

Mu Mingtang sighed silently, held Xie Xuanchen's hand, and said: "It's okay, parents want us to live well, we can only live hard and live well, we can be the greatest filial piety to them. Look at the original mother talking about you , Now you tell me again, isn’t this just a heritage."

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, seeing Xie Xuanchen's eyes moved, as if he wanted to say something, he immediately stopped him with a grimace: "I know the inheritance is not used correctly, but that's what it means. You are not allowed to compare yourself to my father. !"

Xie Xuanchen looked at her helplessly: "I don't. It's obviously that you are always making analogies."

What touched Xie Xuanchen was that Mu Mingtang naturally called Madam Yin a mother.

Yes, they are married, and both parents are their own parents. If Mu Mingtang's hall is still there, he will also call the Mu's parents his parents.

Xie Xuanchen suddenly felt regretful. It would be great if Madam Yin could see Mu Mingtang, she would definitely like Mu Mingtang very much. Mrs. Yin gave birth to two sons in a row. The eldest son died at a young age, leaving him with only one child. But he still jumped up and down, getting into trouble everywhere, and from time to time over the wall to play outside, always refusing to let Madam Yin worry.

Mrs. Yin has said more than once that she especially wants a daughter, but unfortunately there is no daughter. If Mrs. Yin could see today, she would love Mu Mingtang very much.

Unfortunately, the most stingy in the world is if.

Seeing that Xie Xuanchen hadn't spoken for a long time, Mu Mingtang asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, the old saying always makes sense. It is said that you should get married first and then start a business. You should get married earlier." Xie Xuanchen sighed slightly and said, "Unfortunately, I didn't understand when I was young. I wanted to go outside and wait for later. When I understand it, it's too late, which only adds to regrets."

Mu Mingtang guessed that he was feeling the death of his parents. Mu Mingtang listened for a while and whispered: "Actually, I did listen to the old man's words. I got married early."

Xie Xuanchen's expression was startled, he heard Mu Mingtang say: "I was only sixteen in the New Year, and I have been married for more than half a year. Even in the eyes of the elderly, it is considered a very early marriage."

Xie Xuanchen understood that he was the only one who got married late. Xie Xuanchen immediately overturned the previous conclusion and said: "That's better according to my original idea. You should go out and venture first when you are young. It will not be too late to start a family after you have seen the sky, or you will be short-sighted and not handle the family relationship."

"But you didn't say that just now."

"How about that?" Xie Xuanchen glanced at Mu Mingtang and said, "I would like to get married soon, but you were only 11 when I was fifteen. How do you get married?"

Mu Mingtang wanted to give Xie Xuanchen face, but she endured it for a while, but still did not hold back her smile.

Xie Xuanchen didn't think before that when he thought of leading the army at the age of fifteen, Mu Mingtang turned out to be an eleven-year-old child, and suddenly his whole body was not well. Mu Mingtang managed to hold back his laugh, and patted Xie Xuanchen lightly, "Well, the arrangement is the best now. Anyway, I don't think you are too old."

"Do you dare to dislike it?" Xie Xuanchen snorted reluctantly, and walked to the bed with Mu Mingtang. After the two closed the bed, Xie Xuanchen asked casually, "What kind of person does your parents like?"

"I am like this."

Xie Xuanchen snorted disgustedly, and had to ask a little more clearly: "I'm asking my uncle."

"Oh, do you ask this? My mother doesn't matter, but my father has a lot of rules, saying that in the future I can't find someone with a glib tongue, I can't find a bad family style, especially a good-looking one."

Xie Xuanchen was calm when he heard the first two, but couldn't sit still when he heard the last one: "Why?"

"He said he looked good-looking like a white face, and he couldn't be trusted in the future."

In fact, Xie Xuanchen didn't specify when he asked "why", but Mu Mingtang directly answered the last one. It's a pity that both of them didn't pay attention. Xie Xuanchen thought about it for a while, and retorted with sincere feelings: "This is based on appearance. Can a person be reliable, and what does it have to do with looks? There are many unreliable appearances, but no one is reliable. Men who look good are especially unreliable because they pay attention."

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. Why did he follow Xiao Bailian's logic?

"No, when did I look like a white face?"

Mu Mingtang sighed and said, "I didn't say anything. You said it yourself. You mentioned it all by yourself. What are you doing to me..."

There was a faint laughter from the curtain, and after a while, Mu Mingtang's voice came out from inside: "I'm not fighting with you, I want to sleep. You let go!"

·

The second day.

Today, Jiang's servants are very cautious on duty, especially the maids and women who are waiting in the main room, all of them are mindful.

Inside the house, Jiang Mingwei is complaining to Mrs. Jiang. When she talked about these things, the more she was wronged, she cried in front of Mrs. Jiang: "That **** has a devilish spirit and has a bad heart. He was a good one and let her abuse me. Yesterday was the first year of the new year, he According to that bitch, he actually said that he would diminish my stewardship!"

This... Mrs. Jiang couldn't speak. Most of the young couples have never met before marriage. Two people who don't know each other get together, and they will inevitably get stuck in their lives. Sometimes, if they do too much, the relationship between the couple will fall apart. When they understand later, it will be overwhelming. Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear her daughter falling into this situation, and married her to Xie Xuanji, who knows everything.

Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji grew up together. In terms of love, I don't know how much stronger than the couple next to them. Not to mention Xie Xuanji's affection for Jiang Mingwei. It is a good start to the game, no matter how you play it, it will not be bad. Mrs. Jiang didn't understand why, things would have progressed to this point.

It was only half a year, and Xie Xuanji lifted his concubines one after another. It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and Xie Xuanji is still a prince, and it is very common to have women around him. But having a concubine is one thing, and being bullied by a very favored concubine is another thing.

Mrs. Jiang asked: "Why did the King Jin talk about the division of family power? He is not a foolish temper. He should not commit such a big thing as doting a concubine and destroying his wife."

Jiang Mingwei was speechless. In fact, she probably knew why. It was not the day of the New Year's Eve palace banquet. She looked a little longer and was suspicious by Xie Xuanji. This kind of thing is a dead end, Jiang Mingwei didn't dare to touch it at will, but Xie Xuanji was caught upright again, which was really tricky.

But how did Jiang Mingwei tell Mrs. Jiang with these words, she still tears in grievances, and said: "I don't know why. Men are so fresh. He has known me for many years, so he can't compare with other young concubines. Feeling? I understand that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife is inappropriate and competing with a concubine, but he crawls on top of me with a stubborn child, and also underestimates my stewardship. Isn't this deliberately giving me faceless?"

When Mrs. Jiang heard these words, her heart was stunned. She really knew her face and didn't know her heart. Before they looked at Xie Xuanji, they only felt that this child was very safe. Who knows that he is actually such a person.

Mrs. Jiang believed it to be true, and really thought of a way for Jiang Mingwei: "If he insists on petting his concubine and destroying his wife, then our family is not a soft persimmon, let him control it. At any rate, your father is the third secretary, in charge of the entire dynasty's finances. You are so deceiving. It just so happens that he is here today, and I will tell your father to talk about him later, and he must not dare to do that again."

Go to Jiang Honghao? Jiang Mingwei panicked suddenly. She deceived Mrs. Jiang by these words. If she stabbed Jiang Honghao, she would be exposed. If Jiang Honghao knew the real reason for the cold war between Xie Xuanji and her... Jiang Mingwei would not dare to think about it.

Jiang Mingwei quickly discouraged: "Mother, father is busy with politics every day, so don't worry about such trivial matters. Although the prince said at the beginning that Lianhan should be in charge of the kitchen and procurement, he can't help him if he doesn't go to the table. , Lianhan went to take Mu Mingtang's words carelessly, and Mu Mingtang was thrown out of face on the spot. Last night, Lianhan had been forbidden, and she cried and begged for a long time with disheveled hair, and the prince ignored her. With Lianhan this The example is first. Now, no one dares to use the idea of ​​stewardship."

It turned out that this matter had been resolved, and Mrs. Jiang frowned secretly. When she heard Jiang Mingwei's words just now, she thought that the concubine was still dancing. Unexpectedly, she had been dealt with by King Jin.

Jiang Mingwei's speech was really upside-down and vague. Mrs. Jiang did not show it, but asked, "Why is it related to Mu Mingtang again? What is going on?"

"Yesterday afternoon, she and Xie Xuanchen didn't know what was wrong, and they suddenly came to our house as a guest. I sat with me for a while, and it happened that the prince also came over with pity. Lianhan, who is incomprehensible, really regarded himself as a character. Yi Ying talked to Mu Mingtang in a peaceful manner, and Mu Mingtang shook his face on the spot. When he went out later, Xie Xuanchen was also very upset, and he clearly reminded the prince to take care of Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard. "Speaking of which, Jiang Mingwei He curled his lips and said sourly, "I said that for so long, he was indifferent, his heart was like iron, but when Mu Mingtang changed his face, he scolded Lian Han. Even the housekeeping rights were finally taken back because of the two next door. , Not because you love me."

It turned out to be so, Mrs. Jiang knew it. Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but remember that when Jiang Mingwei hadn't returned, the Jiang family tentatively proposed to let her adopted daughter replace Jiang Mingwei. Xie Xuanji remained noncommittal until he saw Mu Mingtang giving him a ten thousand blessing through the screen. Xie Xuanji finally let go.

The combination of the past and the present always gives Mrs. Jiang a bad feeling. Mrs. Jiang stopped quickly and didn't dare to think about it anymore. She had to comfort Jiang Mingwei: "Wang An and Princess An are guests, but you are King Jin’s family. How can it be the same? In front of the guests, the prince must naturally set rules. Now, but since the truth is about being close, how can foreigners compare to you?"

This sounded very reasonable, Jiang Mingwei was quickly persuaded, even the inexplicable stalking in her heart was ignored. But speaking of Mu Mingtang, Mrs. Jiang thought of one thing: "Yesterday your father sent someone back to ask Mu Mingtang to return to Ning, but he refused. I heard that Wang An was not feeling well, An Wang is sick again?"

"No." Jiang Mingwei heard the sneer and said without thinking, "He just went to our house yesterday and his complexion is very good, there is nothing uncomfortable."

This... Mrs. Jiang's face was embarrassed, Xie Xuanchen was not uncomfortable, but Mu Mingtang couldn't say that she didn't want to come back? The second day of the second grade was a big day in Guining. Mu Mingtang didn't give a face, slapped his face unscrupulously, and Mrs. Jiang's face became extremely stiff for a while.

Jiang Mingwei felt that it should be her home. Why should Mu Mingtang come back? Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed for a while, seeing Jiang Mingwei still taking it for granted, she sighed in her heart for some reason.

If it was Mu Mingtang, how could he still say such scornful words when he knew that Mrs. Jiang was unhappy? However, Jiang Mingwei is her own daughter after all. Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear to be harsh, and she still tried her best to persuade: "Wei mother knows that you have a high spirit, and you can fight for the strong everywhere. But the husband and wife are not the ones who can fight for the strength. It’s the prince and won’t let you. You deliberately get angry with King Jin, and you will only push people farther and farther. On the contrary, it’s the one next door, who seems to get along well with King An. The mother didn’t say you, but you are To live in the world, you should really learn from Mu Mingtang."

Jiang Mingwei was very dissatisfied with these words, and immediately sneered: "She is just a business woman. What identity is she, and how can she be better than me?"

"Look, you are here again." Mrs. Jiang sighed. Sometimes she really worries about Jiang Mingwei's temperament, no matter what the occasion, as long as she makes her unhappy, she will immediately choke unscrupulously. Mrs. Jiang or her mother, Jiang Mingwei dare to do this. Isn't it even more true for the younger sisters who are inferior to her.

Mrs. Jiang politely persuaded: "You can't just see the body in everything. No one is perfect. Similarly, a person with a low status will have his unique shining points. If you just want to be a free princess, you can rely on your family for the rest of your life. It’s okay to look down on other people if you run rampantly in the house and do good fortune and prestige. But if you want to go one step further, you must restrain your arrogance and narrow-mindedness, explore the goodness of other people, and make good connections.

Mrs. Jiang's words were already a bit heavy. Jiang Mingwei slowly calmed down and found that she was too extreme. In fact, anyone can do it, except that she is not as good as Mu Mingtang, Jiang Mingwei can't bear it at all.

This New Year is a series of crits for Jiang Mingwei, and there is no joy in the unpleasant things one after another. Jiang Mingwei learned from the pain, and determined that this could not be the case.

When she was reborn, she made up her mind to come back to be the queen and queen mother, and she was the mother of the world, but she couldn't hold her breath when she was a princess and ruined her future. Jiang Mingwei walked through the timeline of the previous life and the plot in the book. He held Mrs. Jiang's hand and said: "Mother, my daughter is not filial, and it makes you worry. Don't worry, mother, you won't be like this again."

Mrs. Jiang was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? What do you think of?"

Jiang Mingwei shook her head and refused to say anything. Of course she would not tell Mrs. Jiang if it was about the past life.

Jiang Mingwei carefully recalled the events of her previous life. Although she was in Bei Rong in the previous life and could not hear the news of the Ye Dynasty, she knew that during the four years of Suihe, Bei Rong frequently sent people to inquire about the news in the Ye Dynasty and signed a contract in the middle of the year. It's just that the astronomical annual tribute did not satisfy the Yelv family's appetite. Less than a year after the negotiation, Bei Rong went south to attack the Ye Dynasty.

Jiang Mingwei experienced these things personally, and she remembered them very firmly. This year is the fourth year of Suihe. In other words, this year the North Rong and the Ye dynasty will sign a peace agreement, and by next year, the Ye dynasty will have war.

The previous life Jiang Mingwei was in Beirong, and he did not know what the Ye dynasty was during the war, but when Jiang Mingwei saw the book when he was dying, he realized that the four years of Suihe was the key year for the male protagonist Xie Xuanji to officially make his family and become the new emperor from the prince. .

In this year, there was a fire in Tokyo during the Spring Festival, and it stayed for three days and three nights. The fire spread from Donghua Gate to the Forbidden Palace. With the help of strong winds, one palace caught fire, and countless deaths and injuries were caused by trampling in the palace. The money lost could not be counted. Even the Qingning Palace where the Queen Mother was located was in ruins. .

When the fire broke out, the emperor led all his concubines and princes to look at the lights on the tower. In addition, there were lanterns everywhere in the city, red light filled the sky, and noisy voices. It took a long time for the masters on the tower to learn that there was a fire in the palace.

When the news reached the towers, there was a big uproar. The queen mother learned that her palace was on fire, and was very panicked. The other concubines and princesses were also in a mess, pushing each other, and let the people watch a lot of excitement on the tower.

After waiting so easily to **** the masters to the ground, things are not over yet. At this time, it had been a long time since the fire started. The eunuchs were busy picking up the emperor and all the empresses, and no one cared about the fire. Since there was no person in charge in the palace, the best time to extinguish the fire was missed, and when everyone vacated their hands, the fire could no longer be controlled.

The imperial families could only watch the fire engulfing the magnificent palaces one after another, helpless, they could only passively wait for the fire to burn out and extinguish it by themselves. The dignified empress dowager was so ashamed that she was very embarrassed, and after a long time she was the laughing stock of outsiders. Even Jiang Mingwei, who is far away in Bei Rong, has a sensitive identity, and has heard Bei Rong people compose songs and jokes about the Ye Dynasty royal family.

When there was a chaos on the tower at that time, Xie Xuanji kept protecting the emperor every step of the way, and later the Chuigong Hall was preserved. It was also because Xie Xuanji made a decisive decision to let people demolish the attic next to the Chuigong Hall. Heroes emerge in times of chaos, Xie Xuanji made great contributions in front of the emperor, and then the reconstruction of Tokyo was handed over to Xie Xuanji.

Jiang Mingwei reads the book and knows more. She learned that the fire was not accidental, but that a foreigner came in on the day of Shangyuan and deliberately set the fire. They had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate, but the three and three layers of the Guards were surrounded like iron barrels. They did not find a chance and had to give up.

So this fire was deliberately done by spies, and it is already a contest between nations. Jiang Mingwei couldn't get involved in these national events, and she didn't understand how many foreign forces there are now in Tokyo. She only knew that the four-year Shangyuan Festival of Suihe was the starting point for Xie Xuanji's fame.

It was also from this time that he gradually broke away from the role of his son, and was gradually regarded by the court as a leader, and even the emperor increasingly relied on him. From then on, he was the next emperor's matter, and officially became the consensus of everyone.

This is simply a god-given opportunity. Xie Xuanji has always had a grudge against her. If she showed extraordinary resilience in this accident, wouldn't Xie Xuanji and the Queen all change her view? The Spring Festival is the time for Xie Xuanji to emerge. As Princess Jin, she must also show the ability to match it.

If you can, it's even more prominent than Xie Xuanji.

Jiang Mingwei pondered all the way to the Shangyuan Festival, and drove back to the palace. Soon after Jiang Mingwei came back, Mu Mingtang sat in the mansion and received a message from the Huangmen eunuch.

"The emperor is going to Xuandemen to watch the lanterns on the Spring Festival?"

"Yes." The **** lowered his hands and said, "The officials care about the people and want to have fun with the people on this day of Shangyuan. The empress, empress dowagers and concubines in the harem, important officials and relatives, will all go upstairs and watch the lights together."

Mu Mingtang nodded, did not speak, but turned to look at Xie Xuanchen inquiringly. Xie Xuanchen was not surprised at this, and said: "It's rare that the emperor has such an interest, I know, go on."

The **** responded and was about to retire. Mu Mingtang signaled to the maid behind him: "I have a hard time with father-in-law. Give father-in-law some tea money to moisten his throat."

The **** originally declined, but when he touched his purse, he half pushed and half put it away. He said some good things to Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen before bowing and exiting.

After the **** left, Mu Mingtang asked Xie Xuanchen: "Xuandemen have many eyes, can you stand it physically?"

There is still a maid here, and Mu Mingtang is inconvenient to ask too directly, but Xie Xuanchen still understands, Mu Mingtang is worried that the emperor will take the opportunity to make a black hand. Xie Xuanchen didn't care much about this, the more people there were, the greater the variables, but he was not afraid of his insidious tricks. Even if the emperor had to do his hands and feet, he would not choose one day with so many people.

After all, he died silently, not better than violent death in public? What's more, he now probably understands why he loses his mind and is not afraid of the emperor using force. I really want to start, and I might as well know who's going wrong.

The emperor must understand this, and certainly does not want to confront him head-on. This time, most of the emperors were really pure and wanted to see the lights. I am embarrassed not to call him, so I can only send someone to spread the word.

Xie Xuanchen said: "It is common to watch lanterns on the Shanghai Yuan Festival. It is rare to see this kind of excitement. We can go and see it." After Xie Xuanchen said, what came to mind, he asked, "Have you visited the Tokyo Lantern Festival?"

Xie Xuanchen said that he could go out, and Mu Mingtang immediately relieved. Hearing Xie Xuanchen's question, she looked forward to shaking her head shyly.

Xie Xuanchen understood and said with a smile: "Then just take advantage of this time to take a good look. The emperor and his concubines will visit Xuande Gate in person. This year's Lantern Festival is bound to be more lively than in previous years. You can go shopping all at once."

Mu Mingtang responded. It is true that she hasn't visited the Shangyuan Festival at ease for several years, and the lantern festival in Tokyo is very famous and extremely famous. Just thinking about it, Mu Mingtang has already given birth to many expectations.
