He Mulan and Su Hejun had been in the South Garden for too long, and it was noon when they changed their clothes and returned. Although the north side is separated from the south side, the relations between the DPRK and China are intricate and complicated. As soon as the news of the outsiders breaking into the south side came out, the Xianbei people in the north also knew about it.
When they found out that it was Su Hejun, who was waiting for the official Cao (the yamen of the Egret official), the children of the Xianbei clan immediately kept a close eye on each other, but in private they were guessing whether the women of the noble family in the south were showing it to Tuoba Tao. In the middle, otherwise why even Su and Jun are dispatched, and they are not worried about being discovered at all.
In fact, the Xianbei people admire the culture of the Han people very much. Even if they are excluded, there are many Xianbei people who study Sinology, wear Han clothes and think of marrying Han girls as wives. Several Tuoba clans respected the Han people so much that they even wrote their own names in Chinese characters.
In fact, many Xianbei people do not want to marry Han high-ranking people, but people just don't look down on them. There are only a few intermarriages, and most of them don't end well. Over time, Xianbei people will not put their hot faces on their cold butts.
It can be said that if the Han people are willing to marry a daughter or a Xianbei woman, if nothing else, the Xianbei clan who are queuing for marriage will probably be able to line up to the gate of the city, and many are willing to give up their family wealth to betrothed for their heirs.
For a time, many Xianbei disciples were itching in their hearts, and they counted on Tuoba Tao to play the role of "exemplary leadership". As long as Tuoba Tao could marry a woman with five surnames, then they would also have a role model, so they dared to go to each other with the cheek. Try asking for a kiss at home.
Nowadays, it is different from the period of the first emperor and the dynasty. There have long been a large number of Xianbei and Han people intermarrying, and the nobles are holding it up and covering it up, and no one is willing to take this first step.
This time, everyone looked at Su Hejun and He Mulan with more complicated expressions. Some people even speculated wildly whether Tuoba Tao was trying to make Hua Mulan and Cui Hao change their feud into jade silk, and wanted to ask him to marry a Cui family daughter, otherwise why would Su He Jun have to bring Hua Mulan to show his face
Su Hejun didn't know what they were thinking, and maybe they didn't bother to guess. They helped Dugunuo cause a lot of trouble. Su Hejun really has the heart to scold her mother, and He Mulan also knew that she had added to Su Hejun. Trouble, in addition, Su Hejun was a little strange to Wang Muyun, which made her no longer chat and laugh.
All this lasted for a short time, because when noon was approaching, Mrs. Dou was behind.
The Queen Mother Dou is a very legendary woman. Her family is a wealthy family in Hunyuan. When she was young, the construction of a cemetery in her family violated the proper regulations. Originally, many people did it secretly. After a few feet, I used a few more good boxwoods. Originally, as long as no one reported it, no one would care.
But the Empress Dowager's family was originally a big family, which naturally caused a lot of red eyes. As soon as this matter was revealed, it immediately caused trouble. This kind of incident can be big or small. Her family caused a big disaster. She often felt unwell, and was most afraid of this kind of thing, so her father-in-law buried in her family was whipped, and her husband and male were all executed. She and her two daughters survived and were sent to the palace as official servants.
Dou's status as a convicted woman is very low even among officials and servants, but she came from a big family, and she was originally noble and decent, and she has been the wife of the family for many years. Been a prisoner for too long.
Sure enough, Mrs. Dou was literate, quiet and prudent in character, and quickly gained the attention of many concubines and concubines. He also received unanimous praise from top to bottom in the palace. Even the late emperor Tuoba Si became curious. Heart, call her an audience.
Tuoba Si paid attention to Dou's "behavior of pure preparation, advancing and retreating with courtesy". At that time, Tuoba Tao, who was not the prince at the time, was already a sure-fire candidate for succession. Du Concubine had long admired Dou's character and begged Tuoba Si. Dou was given to Tuoba Tao as a nanny, and Dou came to Tuoba Tao's side.
Tuoba Tao was established as the crown prince at the age of twelve, his mother died, and Dou took over. She has a benevolent nature, and treats Tuoba Shou like her own son. Tuoba Tao follows Dou and is loved like a mother. She feels like her own mother to Dou, and has established a deep relationship with her. Because of Dou's Han nationality Identity, has a great affection for Sinology and Han people, and also has great trust in Han Chen. This is all due to Dou.
After Tuoba Tao ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Dowager was named "The Empress Dowager Bao". After a few years, she simply changed from "The Empress Dowager Bao" to "The Empress Dowager", as filial as her mother. Every time he went on expedition, the tiger talisman to mobilize the defense of Gyeonggi was handed over to the Queen Mother Dou. Everyone knew that the Queen Mother Dou could mobilize tens of thousands of troops at any time. Wei's Dinghaishen needle is average.
But now He Mulan followed Su Hejun to greet this legendary figure, but what he saw was just an old lady with excellent bearing. She had gray hair and looked about fifty years old. She didn't need anyone to help her when she walked. , The clothes are also very simple, only with a Xianbei official hat on her head to show her identity.
Before Hua Mulan resigned from office, she had met Empress Dowager Dou many times. When she accompanied her in Taiyan five years (five years before resignation) to go to Liang Kingdom, Rouran Khan Wu Ti once followed his father's example and led an army to attack Dalian. Wei, has gone far south, everyone hoped that Empress Dowager Dou would take the crown prince as refuge, but the old man scolded the generals who stayed behind as "cowards", and personally took up the sword and commanded Chief Secretary Sun Daosheng and others to lead troops to fight against Rou. Ranren quickly repelled Rouran.
At that time, Hua Mulan was a famous general of Ke Rouran. She was ordered to lead her troops to return from the western front. The Rouran people were beaten back before they reached the front line. After being received by the Queen Mother Dou, she led her troops to Liang State again.
As for her resignation, the Empress Dowager Dou also asked her if she would like to stay in the palace, whether she would help her find a suitable marriage, etc. In Hua Mulan's impression, she is a very generous and kind old man, and now she is fifty years old. The Queen Mother Dou is still an old lady who looks generous and tolerant.
"Deceiving Kangxi"
He Mulan was looking at the Queen Mother Dou, but she did not expect that the Queen Mother was also looking at her.
Tuoba Tao never concealed anything from Empress Dowager Dou, and naturally told Empress Dowager Dou that Hua Mulan was a woman. Empress Dou herself is a knowledgeable woman, and naturally she will not have any strange feelings towards Hua Mulan because she is a woman, but she regards Tuoba Tao as her son and Tuoba Huang as her grandson, so she naturally has the temperament of all old people. I just want the best to be at home.
Tuoba Tao didn't have any love for Hua Mulan, and the Queen Mother Dou didn't think it was interesting for such a woman to waste her time in the harem. , the first to throw away the idea that she might be able to have a spark with Tuoba Tao.
She knows her own adopted son, Tuoba Tao likes plump girls with big breasts/fat/hips, preferably gentle and generous, the more beautiful the better, he is very direct and doesn't love you and me.
When Tuoba Tao is destined to have no good fruit here, the Queen Mother Dou is thinking about whether a woman like Hua Mulan is suitable to be a "nanny". Tuoba Huang is almost one year old. According to Tuoba Tao's meaning, it will be over next year. The matter of the establishment of the reserve is about to be announced in 2019, so Mrs. He is definitely going to die, but the selection of the nanny has not yet been decided.
Although Hua Mulan can fight, there are too many people in Great Wei who can fight, but there can only be one person in this world who can be a "mother" for the future emperor.
Whether the "mother" is doing well is directly related to the future of the country, and is more important than a general who can fight wars.
Tuoba Tao didn't seem to mean this, but the Empress Dowager Dou herself was born as a nanny, and knew how difficult it was to sit in this position, and how difficult it was to raise a prince safely. The babysitters of Xianbei people are almost no different from their own mothers, and they can walk inside and outside the palace, so this position must be filled by someone who can be trusted.
She is in her fifties now, and she doesn't know how long she will live. It is impossible to take care of her grandchildren all the time, so she can only hope that there is a smart person who can protect her grandchildren to grow up well.
But Tuoba Tao's harem couldn't find anyone with ordinary status and excellent ability, and those convicted wives were too resentful and didn't dare to use it, and this matter stagnated.
Empress Dowager Dou had such thoughts about Hua Mulan, and when she saw He Mulan, she considered it extraordinarily.
He Mulan felt that the Queen Mother Dou looked at her a few more times, but she didn't pay too much attention, only thinking that she came with Su Hejun, so she would be taken seriously.
But as the Empress Dowager Dou appeared and was greeted by everyone, Empress Dowager Dou smiled and asked people to invite a few girls out, which set off another wave of discussion.
"Princess Wuwei, Princess Shiping, Princess Xihai..."
Several wolf heads led their younger brothers to stand behind the crowd, and their eyes widened in shock when they saw the princesses who were asked by the Queen Mother Dou to be escorted by the palace and guards.
"Why are all the princesses who are to be married come out? Didn't they keep the relatives?"
There are not many Tuoba Tao sisters, and there are only a few who are enough to win over other countries. This time, they are already the most suitable age. Princess Wuwei is only fourteen years old, and she was brought out.
The daughters of the other royal families and other princesses all walked in in a graceful manner, and only then did they enter after the other palace servants. When all the girls from Tuoba Xianbei entered, another girl appeared behind Empress Dowager Dou. It was strange that Empress Dou treated every girl in Tuoba clan before, whether they were princesses or not, they did not show any special closeness. , but alone held the girl's hand and walked steadily into the garden.
He Mulan accompanied Su and Jun to secretly protect the Queen Mother Dou and her group, and was very close to the Queen Mother. When she saw the girl's appearance, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
At the same time, He Mulan was not the only one who exclaimed. Several wolf heads and several people who had passed by Tuoba Tao could not help but look at the beauty carefully, feeling that their eyes were wrong.
"Brother, did I read it wrong? Is that really the Zhao Huangmen? Or his sister?" Several people rubbed their eyes. He stayed in Hua Mulan's medical account for so long, and Zhao Ming Day and night face each other, and naturally recognize his face.
"Maybe it's a sister, but an eunuch's sister is not worth holding hands by the Queen Mother Dou..."
Several wolf heads touched their chins, and their eyes showed thinking looks, "Is it a woman disguised as a man? No, even an ordinary palace maid is not worthy of the Empress Dowager Dowager's treatment. And looking at her clothes, she is even taller than a royal family girl. Wait, it's not worse than those real princesses..."
His eyes widened.
Could it be some troubled princess in the Xia Kingdom
All the people who came to greet Empress Dou were from the Xianbei clan, and the first was the eldest daughter of Bu Liugu's family. She is now twenty-two years old, but she has not yet married. She accompanies her family to the palace and often sees the Queen Mother Dou, and she is not afraid. She takes a few steps forward and asks with a sweet smile, "Which sister is this, she looks so beautiful? Could it be that His Majesty still hides a princess? "
Empress Dowager Dou brought her here to make her identity clear. When Bu Liu Gujia asked, she immediately patted Helian Mingzhu on the back of the hand soothingly, and said in a voice that everyone could hear.
"This is the fourth daughter of King Helian, Princess Mingzhu. When the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, the palace was chaotic, and the palace and Princess Mingzhu changed their identities. Instead of Princess Mingzhu, the palace maid was given to General Di Ziyudi, and Princess Mingzhu took the palace The identity of the person was sent to me. Now that Duke Pingyuan misses his sister and wants to take her back, no matter how much my old woman likes her, I can't delay her gathering with her family, so I have to let her return to her proper identity."
She never exaggerated her words and was always convincing. Although there were many things covered up, all of them were not fools and would not pierce the unfinished words of the Queen Mother Dou face to face.
The Duke Pingyuan of the Xia State established himself as the emperor and seized the Western Qin Dynasty. Everyone knew that he was a rare hero in the world. According to Helianding's status, the Queen Mother Dou called him "King Helian". "Or a "pseudo-emperor", but she still used Helianding's title of duke who was loyal to Emperor Xia back then, naturally because there was a change in it.
Most likely, Helianding had already surrendered to Wei secretly, and Empress Dowager Dou and Tuoba Tao wanted to take advantage of Princess Helian's affair to settle down at this time, forcing Helianding to secretly surrender. In order to surrender on the bright side, the idea of the countries trying to shake Helianding was dispelled.
Anyone who is a little wiser will immediately put on a happy appearance, welcome Helian Mingzhu sincerely, and praise her like a fairy from the sky, and surround her affectionately. Ba Xianbei princesses are still warm.
Only He Mulan was so frightened that her heart was in a mess, looking at Helian Mingzhu, she was speechless.
Helian Mingzhu was dressed in full clothes. She originally had an 80-point beauty, and her appearance belonged to the type of Chinese clothing. This dress suppressed many Xianbei girls. When she looked at He Mulan, there was no Showing a familiar or guilty expression, she just nodded lightly to He Mulan.
"This... what's going on? Isn't she Zhao Ming?"
He Mulan suddenly turned to look at Su Hejun.
"Hahahaha, Your Majesty and I just wanted to see your frightened expression, so we deliberately didn't tell you Zhao Ming's identity. We were right to hide it, your face is really wonderful!"
Su Hejun smiled extremely brightly.
"I know you stopped too. Zhao Ming is a woman, but I didn't guess her identity was wrong, did she? I remember she ran out of your tent crying, hahahaha, did you order another one? Rotten peach?"
He Mulan was stunned, and then saw that the Empress Dowager Dou entered with Helian Mingzhu's hand, and hurriedly followed. As for Su and Jun's joke, she could only keep her voice low and ask why.
There were only a few people who felt something was wrong after hearing about Helian Mingzhu's identity.
"Oh, is she a woman? No wonder, Huo Chang wanted to let her wait on the toilet, but he wanted to beat us up..." Several people recalled the scene at that time.
He originally thought that although he was ashamed, there was an eunuch who had done the same thing as him. Since Chief Huo was not uncomfortable, he probably didn't need to care.
But now the fake man has become a real woman, and...
As long as he thought that he and Huo Chang wore the same pair of trousers, his brother also wore the same pair of pants as Huo Chang, and that he put his nose next to the clay pot to smell if there was any peculiar smell, and wanted to urinate Huo Chang, he would All of a sudden, my mind was broken, and I lost all consciousness.
"How many people? Fool? What's wrong with you?"
Several wolf heads patted his brother's head.
"Brother, you said that if I looked at a girl's legs and put on my pants for her, I almost helped her..." He couldn't say anything about urinating, and after a while he continued, "Uh... I am not to…”
Responsible
Unexpectedly, the faces of several wolf heads suddenly turned gloomy, and patted his brother's head suddenly turned into a braid that grabbed him, and asked sternly: "Did you go to some random place and was designed by someone? You Whose girl did you provoke in Pingcheng?"
He pulled several people on tiptoes, screaming in pain.
"Tell me now!"
"Help me, brother, I'm just asking! Ahhh! Let me go!!"
