Chapter 898 Move it all away?
“Grandmother, as for my eldest cousin’s marriage, it’s up to him to make the decision. Besides, my eldest cousin’s wife hasn’t done anything wrong before, she’s just a bit too spoiled.”
Reminded by Mu Xin Nuan, the old lady immediately thought of the commotion Fang Shi caused when Li Hao Ran was sent to the border that year.
Thinking about it now, I feel so ashamed!
As a military general, when the country is in trouble, she doesn't think about letting her husband go out to protect the country, but only thinks about cuddling with her. That's really petty.
With this in mind, the old lady made up her mind that she would never take another member of the Fang family as a second wife.
"The key is that as long as they treat the child well in the future and are kind and compassionate, that's enough." Mu Xin Nuan thought for a moment and ultimately decided to consider her little nephew's feelings.
The old lady nodded. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Feng'er, why don't you and Haoran invite the Emperor to the study for a talk?"
Duanmu Chuze glanced at Mu Xin Nuan, "Alright, Nuan, let's have lunch here today, what do you think?"
"Really? Aze, aren't you in a hurry to return to the palace?"
Duanmu Chuze chuckled twice, "Since I'm accompanying you, there's no need to rush back. It's rare that I don't have many matters to attend to today, so I'll stay a little longer."
“That would be great. You should go to the study with your uncle. Your grandmother feels uncomfortable with you here.”
After Duanmu Chuze left, the old lady grabbed Anuan's hand and asked, "Have you been speaking to the Emperor like that all along?"
Mu Xin Nuan was stunned for a moment, then realized something and nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "We've always gotten along like this since we got married. After he ascended the throne, I thought about whether I should change things, but I never expected that it would anger him."
The old lady nodded reassuringly, "So the Emperor truly cares for you. In that case, you must be a good mistress of the six palaces and never let anyone find fault with you again."
"Yes, Grandma."
Lady He had just heard the Empress call the Emperor by his name, something she had never heard before.
Let alone the emperor, even in ordinary families, it is extremely rare to hear a wife call her husband by his given name.
"Are your second cousin's pregnancy symptoms obvious right now?"
Mrs. He shook her head. "I don't feel too bad, but I don't have much of an appetite right now."
"Second cousin-in-law, listen to me. A pregnant woman shouldn't eat too much. Otherwise, she might suffer a lot during childbirth."
The old lady nodded, "Anuan is right. It's okay to eat more, but you must remember to take walks often after six months to make it easier to give birth."
"Yes, grandmother."
Mu Xin Nuan talked with Madam He for a while and felt that this second cousin-in-law was much more sensible than the previous Madam Fang.
At least, he didn't have that arrogant air about him.
"Grandmother, do you miss my eldest cousin? Should I speak to the Emperor and ask him to be transferred back?"
“Absolutely not! Ah Nuan, we all know what kind of place Yanzhou is. The Emperor trusts him, which is why he was transferred there. This is his good fortune.”
"Grandma, but my eldest cousin can't stay single forever, can he?"
"Yes, I'm also struggling with this issue. We definitely can't accept the Fang family's daughter anymore. Sigh, let's wait and let your aunt make the decision later."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "Grandma still needs to pay more attention to my eldest cousin's marriage."
Let's leave this matter aside for now. Mu Xin Nuan knew the difficulties her maternal grandmother and aunt were in, so she didn't bring it up again.
Duanmu Zonghua quickly brought out a large pile of good things from the armory, and even when Zi Yi offered to help carry them, he was unwilling.
Duanmu Zonghua, with his short legs, would carry out several items from inside and place them in the courtyard, then run back again to bring out a giant sword.
The sword was taller than him, and he practically dragged it along the way.
"Your Highness, isn't that enough? If you keep moving, the armory of the General of the Nation's Mansion will be completely emptied," Zi Yi said with some reluctance.
"No. My maternal grandfather has many weapons."
"Good boy! Let's see how much you can take. As long as Zonghua takes a liking to it, Grandpa will give it to you." The old man laughed heartily.
Zi, standing to the side, felt that her little master was being a little too greedy.
Is your palace armory really lacking these things?
Zi Yi looked very frustrated, staring at the mountain of weapons piled on the ground. How was he going to explain this to the Emperor?
Is it said that the young master is greedy for money?
Is this inappropriate?
But if we don't say it this way, how else can we say it?
If the young master keeps moving, he will really empty the armory of the General of the State's mansion.
"Your Highness, would you like to come here often?" Zi Yi finally came up with a solution, squatted down, and asked patiently.
"Yes, I want to." Duanmu Zonghua thought about it carefully, then nodded heavily.
"Think about it, if you come back again and all these weapons are gone, how will you learn martial arts from your uncle?"
Duanmu Zonghua tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Bring it over again."
Zi Yi rubbed her forehead. "Your Highness, don't you think that's a waste of time? Why don't you just leave these things here and not bring them again next time? Wouldn't that be better?"
After thinking about it carefully, Duanmu Zonghua realized that what he said made sense.
"Okay, I'll leave those for now. This one, this one, and that one, I'll take with me."
"Yes, Your Highness. Then I will put the rest in."
"Okay, put it in."
Zi Yi finally managed to persuade the Crown Prince so that he wouldn't embarrass himself too much in public.
"By the way, Father has always said that he wanted to find a fine dagger for Mother. But he has never found one. So I brought it out today to give to Mother."
"Good, Xiao Zonghua is indeed a filial son. Excellent!"
When the maid came to find them, she said that the First Madam's walnut paste was ready and invited the First Prince to come and try it.
The old man couldn't bear to let go of Duanmu Zonghua, so he carried him to the old lady's place.
Why didn't you go to the study?
"I can't bear to part with Xiao Zonghua. You didn't see how he looked in the armory just now, but it broke my heart."
"Grandfather, did he choose your favorite weapon?" Mu Xin Nuan teased.
The old man glared at her. "As long as Zonghua likes it, he can have anything he wants! There's nothing I wouldn't give him. I just saw him carrying so many things and running around, and I was worried he'd get tired."
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled, "So, Grandfather really has Zong Hua now and doesn't recognize me as his granddaughter anymore."
The old lady gently patted the back of her hand, "You silly girl, you're even competing with your own son for his affections!"
