Hsieh Hyun-chen thought that he was too experienced and confidently said, "I know that you're uncomfortable with the matter of taking in a concubine. When I left, I didn't think in this direction. Later, I realized that you were worried about this matter. "
When Mu Mingtang heard Hsieh Hyun-chen mention taking in a concubine, she was clearly startled. When Hsieh Hyun-chen saw her expression, he knew that he was right. He held Mu Mingtang's hand. Mu Mingtang wanted to pull away, but he didn't let her. "Mingtang, look into my eyes."
Mu Mingtang looked into his eyes as if she was bewitched.
Hsieh Hyun-chen's eyes were beautiful. The lines were beautiful, and they shone brightly. Especially that mole, it was just right. If it was more, it would be softer, and if it was less, it would be lighter. "They followed me only because I climbed up. But in the beginning, I almost died in the prince's mansion. I almost had to bear the reputation of a madman and end my life. When I almost couldn't live anymore, it was you who kept telling me to live. My life ended in the third year of Suihe. Now, every day, every year, I'm living for you. "
"Maybe you don't understand what you mean to me. When I was in the abyss, the only person I could see was you. When I was young, I loved power and was ambitious. But now that I've died, the world, the army, and power are not important to me. My only obsession in this life is you. "
Mu Mingtang was shocked by these words. She didn't think that Hsieh Hyun-chen's feelings for her were so deep and complicated. Hsieh Hyun-chen looked deeply at the person in front of him. Every stroke of her eyebrows, every frown, and every smile made him crazily yearn for her. He even wanted to integrate her into his bones and blood. That way, he would never lose her again.
Hsieh Hyun-chen suddenly reached out and hugged her. It was as if he could only be sure that he truly had her when he touched her. Hsieh Hyun-chen couldn't wait to age in an instant so that he and Mu Mingtang could grow old together. That way, he wouldn't have to live in fear anymore and wouldn't have to worry about any setbacks for the rest of his life.
In his darkest days, a young girl covered in starlight walked to his side and softly said: "Prince, I am Mu Mingtang."
Later, it was also her who rushed out from the crowd and hugged him, saying, "He's just sick, he's not a sinner."
After that, her eyes were full of stars as she looked at him with trust and determination. "Of course I believe you. You are my savior, my hero. "
For the sake of Mu Mingtang, Hsieh Hyun-chen lived until the end of the year to celebrate the New Year with her. He lived until the following spring to look at the begonias with her. Later on, he became greedier and greedier. He wanted to look forward to a long, long time. He wanted to have children with her and never be separated again.
Hsieh Hyun-chen hugged the person in his arms tighter and tighter. The more he used, the more he restrained himself. He used too much strength because he was afraid that if he let go, she would disappear. He restrained himself because he was afraid that he would use too much strength and hurt her.
Such a delicate existence, ah. Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't know what to do with her.
"I swear on my life that I will not have a second woman in this life. Even if I have to find you for all of my lifetimes, I will have you. If you are not married, I will go to your family to propose marriage. If you are engaged, I will steal the bride on the day of your wedding. If you are already married … … then I will steal you from another man's hands. "
Mu Mingtang listened and her shoulders slowly relaxed. She gently hugged Hsieh Hyun-chen back and said: "Of course I believe you. I will always believe in you, my savior, my unparalleled hero. "
As Mu Mingtang said this, she almost cried. Hsieh Hyun-chen was afraid of losing her. Wasn't she the same? When she was young, she couldn't see people that were too stunning. When she was twelve years old, she was ignorant and didn't know what it was, but she saw a dazzling young man. Her young hero was handsome, strong, and indomitable. He wore armor and rode on a white horse. It was as if he was going to be like this for the rest of his life.
From that moment on, she couldn't be moved by anyone else. After being engaged to Xie Xuanji for a year, everyone else praised Xie Xuanji for being a gentleman. However, when Mu Mingtang looked at him, she couldn't put her feelings into him.
No matter how good Xie Xuanji was, what did it have to do with her?
Mu Mingtang never thought that she would be able to see Hsieh Hyun-chen again in this life. At first glance, she fell for him. At second glance, she became Hsieh Hyun-chen's wife.
The heavens treated her so well. When I was young, I liked you. For the rest of my life, I liked you.
When Hsieh Hyun-chen heard Mu Mingtang cry, he let go of her and carefully wiped her tears. "It's okay. It's my fault. Don't cry."
Mu Mingtang smiled through her tears. She glared at him. "What did you do wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to admit your mistake?"
With tears in her eyes, she looked at him with a smile. The light in her eyes seemed to be rejecting and seducing him. Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't even think and said, "If you cry, it's naturally my fault. If you're unhappy, it's all my fault. "
Sweet words. Mu Mingtang smiled and glared at him. She wiped her tears and was a little embarrassed. "I didn't want to cry. It's just that my emotions have been fluctuating too much recently. I can't help it."
"Huh?" Hsieh Hyun-chen was puzzled. "Why are you fluctuating so much? Did someone provoke you? "
After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished speaking, he realized that Mu Mingtang was looking at him with a half-smile. Hsieh Hyun-chen felt that something was wrong. He instinctively felt that he had missed something again.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mu Mingtang said, "I had something to say to you just now, but you insisted on saying it before me. You even said that you knew what I was going to say. Since you already know, I won't tell you. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen frowned. He still couldn't figure out what he had missed. He carefully coaxed Mu Mingtang. "What's wrong?"
Mu Mingtang sat upright. She lowered her eyes and glanced at him coldly. "I was going to say that I'm pregnant."
Hsieh Hyun-chen was stunned. His entire body, from his brain to his limbs, was in a daze. After a while, he felt that he was slowly coming back to life. At this moment, he realized that his arm was still wrapped around Mu Mingtang's shoulder. He didn't even dare to move his arm. "You're pregnant? Then when I hugged you just now, did I use too much strength? Are you feeling uncomfortable right now? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen finally understood why when he returned, the servant girls looked at him as if he was a dangerous person. Hsieh Hyun-chen thought about the destructive power he had since he was young. He thought about how he didn't control his strength and felt that he should be separated.
Mu Mingtang watched as Hsieh Hyun-chen went from being completely stunned to being happy, and then to being very careful. He was afraid that he would accidentally hurt her. Mu Mingtang laughed and pushed Hsieh Hyun-chen. "It's not that exaggerated."
However, Hsieh Hyun-chen hurriedly held Mu Mingtang's hand. He didn't even dare to speak loudly. "My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. If you want to hit me, tell me. Don't hurt your own hand."
Mu Mingtang was helpless. She thought that the servant girls were already frightened enough. She didn't expect that Hsieh Hyun-chen would be even more frightened. She didn't want to pay attention to this person who had lost his mind. She stood up. "Don't be stupid. I'm not made of porcelain. How can it be that serious?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen saw her stand up and hurriedly went forward to support her. He was even worried about Mu Mingtang standing on the ground by herself. "Are you tired standing on the ground? Do you want me to carry you? "
Mu Mingtang angrily glared at him. "Are you done? I already said that I'm fine. Don't bother me. "
After Hsieh Hyun-chen learned that Mu Mingtang was pregnant, he immediately acted as if he was facing a great enemy. He was even more noisy than the servants in the prince's residence.
Ma Chong and his advisors were in You Zhou taking in the household register and redistributing the land. From the moment they opened their eyes to the moment they went to sleep, they were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. They were exhausted here, thinking that if they could hold on for a few more days, everything would be fine when Hsieh Hyun-chen came.
In the end, they waited and waited. They waited for a whole month, but Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't come.
Ma Chong was also puzzled. It would take a month to travel 500 miles from Zhending Prefecture to You Zhou.
Ma Chong couldn't help but send someone to Zhending Prefecture to ask. After asking, he found out that the princess was pregnant. Hsieh Hyun-chen was accompanying the princess to prevent the miscarriage.
Ma Chong, who was so busy that he could only sleep for two hours every night and couldn't even go home, spat angrily.
At the beginning of August, Hsieh Hyun-chen finally brought Mu Mingtang to You Zhou. They only needed to spread cotton on the road.
In fact, Mu Mingtang had been pregnant for three months in July. Normally, after three months, the fetus would be stable and wouldn't be easy to miscarry, so she would be safe. However, Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't listen. He insisted that Mu Mingtang rest in the same place for another month. After repeatedly confirming with the young Daoist that Mu Mingtang wouldn't have any problems on the road, he carefully brought Mu Mingtang on the road.
Hsieh Hyun-chen had already ordered people to tidy up the prince's mansion on the road. As soon as Mu Mingtang entered the door, even the hot water was ready.
Hsieh Hyun-chen planned to settle down in You Zhou, so the prince's mansion, the government, and the yamen had to be prepared. You Zhou was originally an important place, so the government and other things were ready-made. Only Hsieh Hyun-chen's mansion took a little more effort.
Although the emperor had already abolished Hsieh Hyun-chen's title, Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't care at all. In Hsieh Hyun-chen's words, Xie Rui's throne was stolen. Why would Hsieh Hyun-chen need his title? Someone tried to suggest that Hsieh Hyun-chen should become emperor, but Hsieh Hyun-chen refused. Although his tone was light, his attitude was very firm. "It's not time yet."
When was the time? Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't say, so the others didn't ask. They still addressed him as Prince Qiyang. Although Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't want to become emperor, the preparations for the imperial court couldn't be delayed. Everyone understood that in the future, You Zhou would be the capital of the new dynasty.
Hsieh Hyun-chen's decision to set You Zhou as the capital was actually not approved by a few advisors. There was no other reason. It was too risky.
You Zhou was less than 100 li away from Juyong Pass. For a country's capital, this distance was too close. If the border was lost, the capital would be in danger.
Hsieh Hyun-chen insisted. "It's precisely because it's close to the border that we have to set it here. If we're too far away, we won't know the hardships of war. Only by setting the capital here can we force the emperor and his subjects to work hard and be prepared for danger. "
When the advisors heard this, they secretly sighed that Hsieh Hyun-chen was really crazy. They knew that they couldn't persuade him, so they didn't try.
However, after the center of power was moved to You Zhou, because everyone knew that the Northern Tribes were not far away, they all worked hard.
It was also because of God's favor. During this period of time when Hsieh Hyun-chen was the most troubled, the Yelv Yan in the north was suspected by Empress Dowager Xiao because he indirectly caused the death of Hsieh Hyun-chen. In the south, the Emperor of Dongjing was critically ill. Xie Xuanji and his brothers were fighting for the throne. The ministers were also busy choosing sides. For a time, no one had the time to go on a punitive expedition against Hsieh Hyun-chen.
When they finally thought of Hsieh Hyun-chen, You Yun and the other places had already harvested the wheat and planted the second year's wheat. Hsieh Hyun-chen had effortlessly absorbed the 300,000 soldiers of Zhongshan and Hejian. Now that they had harvested the grain, they had soldiers and grain. They could be considered to have gained a firm foothold.
The Northern Tribes and Dongjing beat their chests and stomped their feet. However, it was too late for regrets. The Ye Dynasty and the Northern Tribes had both suffered great losses this year. In the first half of the year, they had been at war. In the second half of the year, they had been at war. Now that the weather had turned cold, it wasn't good for marching. Neither side dared to rashly start a war. They could only bide their time and wait for the winter to recuperate before making any plans.
Mu Mingtang was pregnant and spent the winter peacefully. Hsieh Hyun-chen ran to the prince's mansion whenever he had time. He personally saw Mu Mingtang's stomach grow bigger day by day. He was curious and nervous. "Why is he so big? Is this normal?"
Mu Mingtang immediately rolled her eyes at him. "Can't you say something nice?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't dare to provoke Mu Mingtang. He coaxed her gently. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Don't be angry. Take care of the baby. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen coaxed her and went along with her. He seemed calm and strong. However, Mu Mingtang found that as her pregnancy grew, Hsieh Hyun-chen began to lose sleep every night.
Sometimes, Mu Mingtang's legs would cramp at night. When she moved a little, Hsieh Hyun-chen would wake up.
Mu Mingtang knew that he was afraid.
Hsieh Hyun-chen even regretted letting Mu Mingtang get pregnant. He privately asked the young Daoist about women giving birth. After hearing the young Daoist talk about the dangers of giving birth, he really didn't want this child anymore. He was really looking forward to having a child. However, the premise of all this was that this child would carry his and Mu Mingtang's blood. If the child's arrival would bring danger to Mu Mingtang, he would rather not have it.
He didn't dare to imagine what the world would be like without Mu Mingtang. Just thinking about this possibility was enough to make him extremely terrified.
Hsieh Hyun-chen became more and more nervous. When Mu Mingtang saw this, she was speechless.
Just by looking at Hsieh Hyun-chen's appearance, she would think that something was wrong with her. Actually, her pregnancy had always been very good.
During Mu Mingtang's pregnancy, she paid attention to recuperating and staying calm. Everyone who saw her said that she was doing well. Hsieh Hyun-chen was the only one who couldn't feel at ease. He thought that he hid it well, but in fact, he couldn't eat or sleep well for two months. When Mu Mingtang was about to give birth, he didn't even dare to go out of the house.
One morning at the end of the first month of the New Year, Mu Mingtang gave birth to a son. Both mother and child were safe. It was only then that Hsieh Hyun-chen felt that his feet were on the ground again. He held the fragile baby in his arms in a panic. After thinking for a long time, he named him Xie Changan.
Hsieh Hyun-chen's name was Chen, Chen, or the North Star Star. Xie Yi named his son after the Emperor Star, hoping that his son would achieve great things and become outstanding. However, Hsieh Hyun-chen named his son Changan.
