Mu Mingtang had long thought about who the child would resemble, but when he was born, he found out that it was a boy. The maids all said that the child looked like Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Xie Changan was just born, but he was already stronger than other newborns. On the third day of the baptism, many people came to watch the ceremony, including the wives of the Xu family. When Xu Wuniang was playing with the child, her finger was caught by the child. She immediately exclaimed, "Aiyo, this boy is quite strong. He's good at martial arts."
Only Mu Mingtang, who could already foresee the future, sighed with a headache.
Sure enough, this boy was very much like Hsieh Hyun-chen. He was only three months old, but his destructive power was already amazing. Mu Mingtang was very angry because of him. Every night when he came home, he would scold Hsieh Hyun-chen, "Look at you, it's all your fault. Even Changan is learning from you."
Hsieh Hyun-chen thought that Xie Changan was disobedient, so why was he the one being scolded?
Hsieh Hyun-chen did not dare to make Mu Mingtang angry, so he agreed to everything. Although Mu Mingtang said that he disliked the child, he actually doted on him very much. Even Hsieh Hyun-chen came to the house whenever he was free. Even if Xie Changan was sleeping, he would silently watch him for a long time.
The two of them were both only children when they were young. They never coaxed their younger siblings. Now that they had a child, they cherished it as much as anything. That night, Mu Mingtang sent the wet nurse and the maids away. He sat on the bed with the child in his arms and played with him with Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Mu Mingtang wore red jade earrings today. Children liked bright colors. When he saw the earrings swaying, he could not help but grab them. Xie Changan's strength was similar to Hsieh Hyun-chen's, but he did not know how to control it. Once he grabbed something, he would not let go. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the earrings, causing Mu Mingtang to suffer.
Hsieh Hyun-chen immediately grabbed Xie Changan's hand and pried open Xie Changan's fingers one by one. After Hsieh Hyun-chen rescued the earring from Xie Changan's hands, he immediately hugged this devil and lightly patted the back of Xie Changan's hand as a punishment. "Even I can't bear to touch it. How dare you bully your mother?"
After Mu Mingtang regained her freedom, she quickly rubbed her earlobes. She was still in pain. When she saw Hsieh Hyun-chen hitting Xie Changan, she immediately hit Hsieh Hyun-chen unhappily. "What are you doing?"
Hsieh Hyun-chen put the rascal who was competing with him on the couch and went over to rub Mu Mingtang's ears. "I'll teach him how to get along with his wife in the future."
After Hsieh Hyun-chen finished rubbing, he gently blew on her earlobe. "Does it still hurt?"
Mu Mingtang's ears were a sensitive area, especially her earlobe. When he suddenly blew on Mu Mingtang's back, she felt an electric current.
"I'm fine. The child is still here. Don't touch it."
"That's easy." Hsieh Hyun-chen immediately stood up and handed the child to the wet nurse and maidservant outside. When he came back, he firmly pressed Mu Mingtang onto the couch. "Now that the child is gone, can I touch it?"
Mu Mingtang hadn't done anything for a long time. She was tickled by his breath. "Don't be naughty."
As Hsieh Hyun-chen spoke, he picked up Mu Mingtang and strode to the bed. "I haven't started yet."
This winter, Hsieh Hyun-chen had a stable life. Both the north and the south were peaceful. Youzhou's livelihood was gradually on the right track. After a winter of training, the army was finally in shape. In the first month of the lunar year, he was even happy to have a son.
He was living in peace and contentment here, but other places were in turmoil. In Dongjing, the emperor was seriously ill. At the beginning of spring, he caught a cold and passed away after a few days. In the end, Xie Xuanji stood out from the other princes and ascended the throne. He appointed his first wife, Jiang Mingwei, as his empress, and Princess Wanyan Duo as his imperial concubine.
Perhaps Xie Xuanji wanted to disperse the bad luck, so he chose to name his reign as Qingping.
After Xie Xuanji ascended the throne, he rubbed his palms and wanted to get rid of his "rebellious" cousin. In the fourth month, he went on a punitive expedition against Hsieh Hyun-chen. Hsieh Hyun-chen finally found an opportunity and led his troops to meet the enemy.
In this battle, Hsieh Hyun-chen fought directly to the Yellow River and approached the capital, Dongjing. When the Northern Tribes saw this, they felt that they had a chance. They secretly approached the border and wanted to seize the opportunity to take back Youyun and the other prefectures. The Xu Army was stationed in the north and quickly stopped them. When Hsieh Hyun-chen heard the news, he put down Dongjing, which was within reach, and returned to the capital to deal with the Northern Tribes.
When the Northern Tribes heard that Hsieh Hyun-chen had returned, they were so frightened that they immediately retreated. On the other hand, Dongjing was also frightened. In the past two years, Dongjing's fengshui had not been good, so it was frequently frightened. Xie Xuanji was frightened by the repeated attacks. While Hsieh Hyun-chen returned to the north to deal with the Northern Tribes, he hurriedly gave the order to move the capital.
When Jiang Mingwei followed the ship to the south, she felt very conflicted. In this life, Dongjing did not fall, but in the end, Xie Xuanji's capital became Lin 'an.
The original plot had clearly collapsed, but sometimes, the trajectory of history was still frighteningly similar.
Hsieh Hyun-chen and Xie Xuanji were both unwilling to change their titles. Both felt that the other was a traitor. Later, when Xie Xuanji moved to the south, the people decided to use Yanye and Yanye to distinguish the two regimes.
After a year, the Northern Tribes also had a coup d 'état. Yelv Yan successfully fought his way out and ascended the throne. He made Xiao Siyi his empress. At this time, the two empresses, one in the south and one in the north, were both acquaintances of Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang. His subordinates advised Hsieh Hyun-chen to also proclaim himself emperor, but Hsieh Hyun-chen shook his head and said, "There is no hurry."
Yelv Yan and Xie Xuanji probably forgot that Prince Qiyang had another title, the Emperor's Terminator. Hsieh Hyun-chen was a person with a slight compulsion. The emperors of the Later Jin, Later Shu, and Southern Tang had all died at the hands of Hsieh Hyun-chen. Since he had already collected three titles, he might as well be Prince Qiyang for a few more years and collect all the emperors in the world. How good would that be?
The Northern Tribes, Northern Tribes, and Southern Tribes ruled for three years. In the year that Hsieh Hyun-chen officially rebelled, he no longer used Dongjing's era name, but created his own era name, Zhangwu. In the fifth year of Zhangwu, which was also the fourth year of Qingping, and the fourth year of Xie Xuanji's capital, Hsieh Hyun-chen sent troops to conquer the Northern Tribes.
Yelv Yan knew that this battle would not be easy, so he personally led the troops and fought to the death with Hsieh Hyun-chen.
This was the first time that the two of them faced off against each other after five years.
Yelv Yan believed that he was good at both civil and military affairs, and he almost became the emperor with the greatest contribution in the history of the Northern Tribes. However, all of this was stopped by Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Perhaps the light in the world was fixed, and if one person was too dazzling, the others would be overshadowed. Yelv Yan believed that he was also a hero of his time, but because of Hsieh Hyun-chen's existence, when people mentioned Yelv Yan, they would only think of him being beaten to a pulp by Hsieh Hyun-chen, and finally running away in the dark of the night.
How could Yelv Yan be willing to accept this?
In the south, Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei were also paying close attention to the situation in the north. Later, the news spread to Lin 'an Palace, and the Northern Tribes, which had dominated the grasslands for a time, was destroyed.
Yelv Yan was killed by Hsieh Hyun-chen, and Xiao Siyi committed suicide in the imperial harem. It was said that before Xiao Siyi died, she laughed loudly and shouted the name of the Princess Consort of Qiyang, Mu Mingtang.
When Xiao Siyi was young, she was arrogant and insufferably arrogant. She followed Yelv Yan to Tokyo to negotiate peace, and in the palace, she met Mu Mingtang, who was still the Princess Consort of An.
Xiao Siyi and Mu Mingtang hit it off very well, and before she left, Xiao Siyi even told Mu Mingtang that they would meet again in the future.
In the end, her words came true.
When Jiang Mingwei heard that Yelv Yan was dead, he did not know why, but he felt a sense of loss. Yelv Yan and Xiao Siyi were both dead. These two people had brought him endless suffering in his previous life, but in this life, Jiang Mingwei was not happy at all when he heard the news of their deaths.
The Northern Tribes had been destroyed, and Lin 'an was not far away.
The Northern Tribes had been destroyed, and Xixia was next. When Xie Xuanji moved south, Taiyuan and other places naturally submitted to Hsieh Hyun-chen. Xixia's national strength could not be compared to the Northern Tribes, and not long after, Dang Xiangren was also destroyed.
At this point, the north was unified, and all of it belonged to Hsieh Hyun-chen.
Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei clearly knew that it was their turn.
This feeling was too terrifying, and Xie Xuanji panicked. He did not care about his face and wrote a letter to Hsieh Hyun-chen to ask for peace, trying to call on Hsieh Hyun-chen's remaining brotherly love. Xie Xuanji suggested that Nanye and Beiye were originally one family, and that they should use the river as the border to rule the world together.
When Hsieh Hyun-chen received the letter, he did not even finish reading it before tearing it up.
Who wants to rule the world with you? He can do it alone.
In the 6th year of Zhangwu, which was the 5th year of Qingping in Nanye, just after the Lantern Festival, Mu Mingtang personally took the armor and fastened it on Hsieh Hyun-chen.
All these years, whenever Hsieh Hyun-chen went to war, Mu Mingtang would personally put on the armor for him. She would put on the armor for him and send him to the battlefield. After wearing it so many times, Mu Mingtang was very familiar with it.
Hsieh Hyun-chen looked at his wife and suddenly remembered five years ago, when Dongjing was in danger and he finally heard that he could regain control of the military. Mu Mingtang did the same, personally putting on the armor for him. However, at that time, her actions were still very unfamiliar. He did not expect that so many years had passed.
The number of soldiers under his command had gradually increased from eight thousand to a million, and Mu Mingtang's actions had also changed from unfamiliar to familiar.
So, it had been five years.
Hsieh Hyun-chen suddenly became naughty and hugged Mu Mingtang's waist, unwilling to cooperate. Mu Mingtang's movements were stopped, and she said helplessly, "They are still waiting for you outside. If you have the nerve to make three hundred thousand people wait for you, then continue to fool around. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen was a person who could not be said. The more she said, the more excited he became. He was even more unwilling to let go. Mu Mingtang was tormented by him to the point that she had no choice but to hug him as he wished. Just like five years ago, she whispered, "I will wait for you to come back."
"I hope that there will be no more wars in the future. I hope that I will never have to put on the armor for you again."
Hsieh Hyun-chen also hugged her tightly, "Okay."
Hsieh Hyun-chen hugged Mu Mingtang's waist tightly, then finally picked up his sword and strode out. Mu Mingtang stood in the hall and watched as Hsieh Hyun-chen pushed open the door against the sunlight and walked out. The sunlight shone on his body and reflected the sparkling starlight on his silver armor.
Only by deterring strong enemies from the outside and suppressing the feudal vassals from the inside would he be worthy of the title of Wu 'an. When Mu Mingtang had just married him, the Northern Tribes and Western Xia were all around, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were still in the hands of foreign tribes. But now, the North was unified, and Youyun had returned. Cattle and sheep were everywhere, and the common people lived and worked in peace. Only the Southern Court, which was separated by a river, was still struggling at death's door.
Mu Mingtang's eyes seemed to be glistening with tears, but it seemed that other people had seen wrongly. Worthy of the title of Wu 'an. Her young man had done it.
Hsieh Hyun-chen set out with the army. After they left, Youzhou seemed to have suddenly become much quieter. Xie Changan was already four years old, and was at his naughtiest age. After his father left, there was no one to teach him how to use the sword. He also did not dare to rub against his mother, for fear that he would accidentally hurt her. Xie Changan was bored, so he pestered Mu Mingtang to tell him stories.
Mu Mingtang had a headache over her overly energetic son, but Hsieh Hyun-chen had always felt that Xie Changan was well-behaved and obedient. Compared to when he was young, Xie Changan was simply a harmless baby. Now that Hsieh Hyun-chen was gone, no one could control the little prince. Only in front of Mu Mingtang could Xie Changan behave for a little while.
Mu Mingtang could not persuade her son, so she could only rack her brains to tell him stories. "Today, I'll tell you stories about the constellations."
When Xie Changan heard about the constellations, he immediately lost interest. "The stars don't move. What's the use of listening to these stories?"
"Why is it useless?" Mu Mingtang reproachfully tapped her son's forehead and held him up to look at the sky. "Do you remember the first sentence of the Thousand Character Classic? Heaven and earth are black and yellow, the universe is desolate and vast. The sun and moon waver, the stars and constellations spread out. The stars of heaven and earth are the first of the characters, and the North Star is the first of the stars. "
As Mu Mingtang spoke, he pointed to the most dazzling star in the sky. "Do you see the brightest North Star? Now, your father is also under this star. When you look at the star, you see your father."
Xie Changan seemed to understand. "Then, if I talk to the star, can my father hear me?"
Mu Mingtang nodded and hugged his son tightly. "Yes. Why don't you tell him? "
When Mu Mingtang pointed out the constellations to his son, in the Imperial Palace of Lin 'an, thousands of miles away, the dim starlight shone through the doors and windows. There were no lights inside, so it looked like a ghost.
A palace servant stumbled in. "Empress, Prince Qiyang has crossed the river!"
Now, the Imperial Palace of Jiang Mingwei was in a mess. It was impossible to see the empress's bedroom. She fell and sat among a pile of curtains. When she heard the palace servant's words, she slowly raised her head. "He has already crossed the river?"
"Yes! Empress, His Majesty has already escaped from the palace gate with the imperial concubine. You should also run! "
Jiang Mingwei was stunned when she heard this. She immediately laughed. "He ran away. I can still stay in the palace, but he has already run away with Wanyan Duo …"
Jiang Mingwei smiled and tears fell. Her life was so sad. She had no favor and her husband was fickle. On the eve of the city's fall, her husband left her and ran away with his favorite concubine.
The person who led the army to attack the city was the young man she admired when she was young.
Jiang Mingwei staggered to her feet. She stood at the window and saw the dim starlight outside. Only the North Star was bright and threatening.
"Hsieh Hyun-chen." Jiang Mingwei slowly read the name. Suddenly, she smiled bitterly. "Xiao Siyi called out Mu Mingtang's name before she died. I didn't expect that when it was my turn, it would be the same. Goodbye."
She finally understood that there was no such thing as a script in this world. There was no such thing as a male lead. In her previous life, the book she read before she died was only from the perspective of Xie Xuanji. It was a legend that was glorified by later generations.
Because Xie Xuanji was the emperor, the author of the book boasted about Xie Xuanji. But in this world, how could there be a unique and immortal male lead?
In the end, Jiang Mingwei jumped into the lake wearing the empress's robes. In her previous life, she drowned. In this life, she would die the same way. But at least she had the empress's robes to accompany her.
Hsieh Hyun-chen effortlessly opened the palace gate. His silver armor shone with a cold light. After a while, his confidant ran out from the back of the palace. "Prince, the empress of Nan Ye is dead. The emperor and the imperial jade seal are gone."
Hsieh Hyun-chen was not surprised by this result. "Sure enough, after so many years, he still chose to run away. Go after him, he can't run far. "
"Yes!"
The confidant accepted the order and left. Hsieh Hyun-chen stood in the gentle and elegant palace. He still felt that his prince's palace was pleasing to the eye.
He raised his head to look at the starry sky. He couldn't help but wonder what she and the child were doing right now.
The next morning, the confidant who had split up to look for Xie Xuanji returned with news. "Prince, the emperor of Nan Ye is dead."
"How did he die?"
The confidant seemed to pause for a moment. With a subtle expression, he said, "He was killed by his foreign imperial concubine."
Hsieh Hyun-chen smiled when he heard this. It was unexpected, but reasonable. Xie Xuanji had been fickle in love all his life. In the end, he died at the hands of a woman. There was a beginning and an end.
Hsieh Hyun-chen reached out his hand and asked, "Where is the imperial jade seal?"
The confidant bowed and respectfully presented a bright yellow cloth bag. Hsieh Hyun-chen opened it and looked at it. There was a scratch on the corner. It was undoubtedly the imperial jade seal.
Hsieh Hyun-chen wrapped the imperial jade seal again and carried it out. When he passed by everyone, he said, "From now on, you are not allowed to mention Nan Ye. There has always been only one Ye Dynasty in the world. "
Everyone knelt down and replied loudly, "Yes! Congratulations to Prince for unifying the world. "
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't turn back and walked out in large strides. His warhorse was parked outside the throne room. Hsieh Hyun-chen mounted the horse and immediately galloped down the palace road. The sound of the horse's hooves clattered as it ran towards the north. "Return to the capital."
The army went south to conquer Nan Ye. In less than three months, they returned victorious. Everyone in the army was jubilant. The atmosphere on the return trip was completely different from when they came. Everyone was in a different mood. They were all in the mood to pay attention to the flowers on the side of the road.
Unknowingly, spring had already arrived.
Xu Qilang followed by Hsieh Hyun-chen's side. He was already married and had a son. His son was only one year younger than Xie Changan. When he thought about going home to see his wife and son, the rough man became gentle. Xu Qilang saw a tree of unknown flowers on the side of the road. It was red and looked very lively. He was curious and asked, "The flowers on this tree are very beautiful. What's its name? "
Hsieh Hyun-chen casually glanced at it and said lightly, "Haitang."
Xu Qilang only said it casually. He didn't expect anyone to answer him. He looked at Hsieh Hyun-chen in disbelief. "Prince, you even recognize flowers?"
"It's enough that I only know Haitang." Xie Xuanchen was fine just now, but at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly spurred his horse and rushed out of the group. In an instant, he left the large group behind. "Take your time with the army. I'll go back to the city first."
Among thousands of flowers, only Haitang was known.
In the spring of March, a fast horse rushed towards Youzhou City at full speed. The person on the horse was wearing silver armor and a red cloak. He was riding a white horse. He was even more beautiful than the spring sun.
His Haitang flower, the love of his life.
He had returned.
"I Became the Male Lead's Sister-in-law". End of text.
The author has something to say: Another book has been written. I always felt that "Sister-in-law" hadn't been written for long, but it had already been serialized for three months. The word count has already reached five hundred thousand.
This is probably the book with the least female heart that I've ever written. I was very happy the entire time I was writing. In the beginning, I only wanted to write a life saving story. Later, Hsieh Hyun-chen's personality became more and more complex. It was like he had come back to life. He was hibernating, struggling, sinking, planning, reviving, and rebelling.
Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang's themes are very similar to "Hard to Remove the Emperor's Grace". They are both in troubled times, with flowers as the theme. They are both paranoid and morbid. But "Sister-in-law" is much more relaxed than "Hard to Remove the Emperor's Grace". I was also very happy when I wrote it.
What kind of person is Hsieh Hyun-chen? He became famous at a young age. When he was born, he had the things that many people pursued for their entire lives. But when he was at his peak, he suddenly fell and was almost completely destroyed. I'm used to seeing protagonists steadily walk up a slope step by step. I'm suddenly curious. What would happen if a person fell from the peak?
The story of Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang is the story of a genius who fell from the peak and climbed back to the peak step by step.
In fact, Mu Mingtang's life experience is similar. When she was young, she was pampered by her family. Her family was destroyed overnight. The two of them reunited at their darkest and lowest point. It's just that Mu Mingtang came out of it faster than Hsieh Hyun-chen. In the beginning, it was Mu Mingtang who supported Hsieh Hyun-chen. When Hsieh Hyun-chen untangled the knot in his heart, Hsieh Hyun-chen took the lead in their relationship.
Falling down isn't scary. Ups and downs aren't scary. Being unable to recover from a setback is scary.
Hsieh Hyun-chen gave me the biggest surprise, especially in the later part of the story. He was ambitious and capable. He also fell down and hesitated. But in the end, he overcame his inner demons and faced his past self. In the story, his biggest enemy wasn't the emperor or foreign enemies. It was always himself. Another surprise was their emotional scenes. When I wrote the scenes between him and Mu Mingtang, I didn't get stuck. I even laughed as I wrote.
The young man and the young woman were brave. The hero and the beauty were bound together by life and death.
I really didn't want to say goodbye to Hsieh Hyun-chen and Mu Mingtang. But the battle between Xing Chen and He Haitang had come to an end. In the beginning, Mu Mingtang called Hsieh Hyun-chen Prince of Qiyang. So let's leave the story on the last day that Hsieh Hyun-chen was Prince of Qiyang.
There were a few more chapters to wrap up the Chen and Tang duo after they ascended the throne. There was also a chapter about Tian Tian's previous life. This was the author's usual seamless start. The next book, "Saving the Beautiful and Strong Tragic Man 2," had saved 30,000 words and was 4.16 pages. This time, it was a xianxia novel. The male lead was a beautiful and strong tragic man who was even more tragic than Hsieh Hyun-chen. The female lead was the legendary Daddy Heavenly Axiom. I look forward to everyone's visit!
Finally, I humbly request the author to add this book! I clicked to add this author, September Wildfire, a super obedient author who loved to write melodramatic New Year stories. She updated every day at a fixed time. As long as you were reading her, she would write about it!
Thank you to every reader who subscribed, voted, commented, and gave me nutrient solution. Thank you for your company during these three months of ups and downs!
