When Mu Yuanwen was led into the gate of Prince Su's mansion by his servants, he still felt a little complicated.
A good friend who has been playing together for several years actually got married... Originally, he had guessed which lady he would marry in the future because his friend was so picky.
After Mu Yuanwen came back from the wedding, he was in a daze for a long time.
Although the Wen Dynasty has always had laws about male and female wives, young masters like them have been raised by their families as heirs since they were born, and they have always been educated to marry wives and have children when they grow up. , Those who spread branches and leaves for the mansion, and those who like men, at most take a few male concubines, and almost never have the idea of marrying or marrying a man in their minds.
So when his friend was not clear with Prince Su, Mu Yuanwen gently reminded him to be more careful. After all, Prince Su was the one who bullied others, but at that time, his friend only said that he had his own plans and told him not to worry. He saw that his friend looked happy, and he was not forced by Prince Su as rumored, so he was relieved for the time being.
Although it is really hard to understand why a friend is willing to befriend Prince Su, the smelly and tough guy he hates the most, but the friend can do it if he wants to. Anyway, as two people, they will marry their own wives in the future. In the end, the big deal is that it was a romantic affair when I was young, and it passed away with a smile. How many of the nobles in Beijing have no gossip about the past
But who knew that not long after he let go of his heart, the imperial palace directly issued an imperial decree to grant marriage to the two of them, scaring Mu Yuanwen so much that he rushed to Xinyuanhou's mansion that day, dragging his friend and sighing as if he had lost his soul up.
Marrying Prince Su... That's being a man's wife. Is it the same as playing with a man
Unlike his second son who has a direct elder brother on his head and has no right to inherit the big head, Xie Ming is the eldest son of the Xinyuanhou Mansion and will inherit the entire Hou Mansion in the future.
Once he marries as a male wife, this inheritance right will automatically disappear.
How could any fool would let go of the inheritance rights of a big family and instead go to the back house to be a man's wife who revolves around men
So after Mu Yuanwen heard the news, he always believed that his friend must have been forced to marry Prince Su.
But who knew that after Mu Yuanwen pulled his friend's sleeve and berated Prince Su heartbrokenly, his friend said calmly that he himself agreed to this matter.
So Mu Yuanwen got stuck in an instant, and after looking at his calm friend for a long time, he slipped back to the mansion silently and began to think about life.
He really can't figure it out!
Why did Xie Ming agree to marry a man with such a bright future ahead of him
Even if that man is the most honorable prince in the entire Wen Dynasty, he is not worth it!
The kind of non-deterministic thing about love... Is it important to have the right to inherit a marquis mansion
Besides, even if Prince Su loves him very much now, but he is a man himself, of course he knows that it is difficult for a man to be single-minded. It is almost a common problem of all men to like the new and dislike the old and chase after a beautiful face. As time goes by and the face of a friend ages, Prince Su will change his mind sooner or later.
So Mu Yuanwen stayed at home in such a daze for several months, he didn't even dare to go forward to the wedding of his best friend and Prince Su, and silently huddled in a corner to watch the wedding of an astonishing scale.
After the wedding, Mu Yuanwen slowly accepted the matter, and started to talk to his friend, but after all, the friend is already a husband and wife in someone else's house, and the husband has the kind of temperament that is not easy to mess with , he is a man who is considered a foreigner now to visit, it is not impossible for Prince Su to think more. The family members also advised him not to associate with Xie Ming for the time being, and to see the situation first before talking about anything else, if it makes other people's families unhappy, it is his fault.
So because he was afraid of causing trouble to his friend, he hesitated all the time, and he didn't dare to send a post to Prince Su's mansion.
Unexpectedly, in the end, a friend took the initiative to send him a post.
Mu Yuanwen was led by his servants through the exquisite and majestic pavilions, and after walking for a long time, he bypassed a rockery. There is a tree garden behind the mountain. The leaves of the trees in autumn have begun to turn yellow, which is a bit light. There is a small octagonal pavilion in the center of the garden. In the pavilion stands a round table with some melons and fruit cakes on it. A look of welcoming guests.
Of course, it wasn't these things that caught Mu Yuanwen's attention at a glance, but the handsome figure in a light blue shirt sitting at the table.
Long time no see, Xie Ming seems to be in much better condition than he thought, the arrogance in his brows and eyes shows no signs of being smoothed by life in the back house, his complexion is rosy, and he must have lived a good life after marriage with Prince Su Satisfied, and most importantly, looking at his figure... seems to be a little fatter than before
Mu Yuanwen looked around the person twice, and finally made sure that he was not dazzled. His good friend had indeed gained weight in just half a month after marriage!
As one of the few friends who can have dinner with Xie Ming, he has a deep feeling for Xie Ming's picky eaters, because he doesn't eat well, and his body is delicate. In the long run, Xie Ming's figure is actually a bit too thin, so It has grown a little flesh, but it is more colorful than before.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously asked the doubts in his heart: "The food in Prince Su's Mansion is so good?"
He Yan paused when he heard this, put down the almond cake in his hand, picked up the handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said in a cold voice, "How about you try it later and then you'll know?"
Mu Yuanwen felt that he had said something wrong, touched his nose, and muttered: "You still want to keep me for dinner..."
He Yan: "Oh, forget about being ungrateful, let someone throw you out now."
Mu Yuanwen hurriedly sat down on the stool opposite his friend, got himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, kidding, Mr. Xie has already spoken, how dare you be ungrateful?"
After these few words, the awkwardness that had been going on between the two for more than two months seemed to have quietly dissipated.
Seeing that Mu Yuanwen had already drank two glasses of wine while speaking, He Yan frowned slightly, and reminded: "This wine is old wine just dug out from the mansion, don't drink so much, lest it will be poured on my mansion later , and send someone to carry you back.”
Mu Yuanwen obediently pushed the jug to the side, glanced left and right, rubbed his hands together, approached He Yan, and said in a low voice, "Well, I... have something to say to you."
He Yan knew that he wanted to talk to him alone, so he waved his hand, making all the waiters back away.
Mu Yuanwen moved the stool to his side, swallowed, and asked in a low voice, "Is Prince Su treating you well?"
He Yan looked at the guilty face, and couldn't bear to tell him that since the loopholes in the palace's guards were exposed last time, the new batch of guards were all selected by Prince Su from his own guards. One high, no matter how low Mu Yuanwen lowered his voice, it still couldn't escape their sensitive ears.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, He Yan decided to let him continue to be a happy ignorant person, and replied following his words: "Okay, the prince is very obedient."
Hearing the word "obedient", the expression on Mu Yuanwen's face became a little strange. This, no matter how you look at it, Prince Su's look of being ready to hit someone at any time has nothing to do with being obedient.
But... since his friends are willing to give up their bright future for the sake of feelings, it is not impossible for Prince Su to be very obedient at home
Although he really couldn't imagine what kind of ghost Prince Su would be "obedient"...
After diverting his thoughts for a while, under the urging of his friend's eyes, Mu Yuanwen quickly pulled his thoughts back, and continued to ask hesitantly: "Then... did Prince Su tell you about taking a concubine?"
In the Wen Dynasty, when a man and a wife got married, the mother's family would usually select a few good-looking dowry maids for the man's wife to take to the husband's house to be concubines for the husband, and use them to raise children for the husband's family in the future.
But obviously, the Xinyuanhou's Mansion didn't know what to think, as if they had forgotten this rule, and didn't prepare Xie Ming to marry a maid as a dowry.
Not only that, but I also heard that as soon as Xie Ming entered Prince Su's mansion, he punished the beauties that the emperor gave to Prince Su, and locked them all in the side courtyard, expressly prohibiting these beauties from intruding in front of Prince Su , She didn't hide her jealous face at all!
You must know that in a big family, as the main wife, the most taboo is excessive jealousy, crowding out concubines, and hindering the husband's heirs. Generally, the couple who do this will be quickly rejected by their husband's family. What awaits them is often the reprimand and punishment of the elders in the mansion, and if it is more serious, they will be dismissed directly.
But the situation in Prince Su's mansion is a bit special.
Firstly, Xie Ming has a noble status, even if he no longer has the right to inherit the Marquis of Xinyuan Mansion after he gets married, but Marquis Xinyuan Mansion will be a bargaining chip in his hands anyway, even if he does too much, Prince Su It is also unlikely to divorce someone. After all, divorce is not the same as forced marriage. Forced marriage can barely pass the face, but if you want to divorce your wife after forced marriage, that is really tearing your face apart and enmity with the Xinyuanhou Mansion. up.
Secondly, as the owner of the palace, Prince Su doesn't care about himself as the princess at all! Not only did the prince have no objection to the fact that his husband and wife did not bring a dowry maid, but he also watched Xie Ming clean up the people in his backyard without letting a fart go!
From the daily behavior, it is completely impossible to see that Prince Su is so fearful of internal affairs at home...
It is also incredible.
However, even if Prince Su was afraid of internal affairs and dared not take concubines under Xie Ming's oppression, heirs were a big problem after all. As far as Emperor Wen Xiao was concerned, it was unlikely that no heirs would be born in Prince Su's mansion.
So after Mu Yuanwen received the post, he talked with his mother, Mrs. Anyuan Hou anxiously, and planned to follow the advice given by his mother to persuade his friend to prepare a few concubines for Prince Su that he could control. Well, if Emperor Wen Xiao stepped in to take a concubine for Prince Su, the people who entered the mansion would rely on the backing of the palace, and they might make trouble.
Mu Yuanwen, who bit the bullet and asked his mother about those things in the backyard in order not to be angry with his friend in the future, also worked very hard today.
But he didn't expect his friend to reply carelessly after hearing his question: "No, he doesn't have the guts yet."
Looking at his appearance, Mu Yuanwen felt a little sad, sighed, and said quietly: "Even if the prince dare not, then if the palace...cough cough, you have to make plans early, the people in your hands, It’s quite different from someone else’s insertion.”
When He Yan heard this, his eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "That's something the lord has to consider. If he can't solve it, I'll get along with you at the worst."
Anyway, after the reconciliation, he just happened to be able to go back and continue to be the young master of his Houfu. Although a man's wife is considered to have automatically given up the inheritance rights of the family after getting married, after reconciling with his husband's family, he can still go home to marry a wife and have children , inheriting the family business.
In order to be with his lover in an upright manner, he voluntarily gave up everything in Xinyuanhou's mansion and married him as a man's wife. If Prince Su can't handle Emperor Wenxiao's side, what's the use of this stupid man
Mu Yuanwen was so scared by his words "Harmony" that he gasped, coughed a few times, and said tremblingly: "Mr. Xie, little ancestor, please don't get excited. If you have something to say, speak up..." Can things like Heli be easily talked about
It seems that his good friend, even if he is married, has no restraint at all, his body is covered with thorns, and his willfulness makes people's head hurt.
No... It seems that because of Prince Su's connivance, his temper has become a little more capricious
It's really sad.
But before Mu Yuanwen finished worrying, he heard He Yan suddenly start asking him: "Don't talk about me, you should worry about yourself. Has the second prince pestered you again recently?"
Although He Yan has stayed at home since he got married, as long as he needs it, the servants of the palace will automatically report it to him, so he has stayed in the mansion for so long, but the news is not blocked.
Mu Yuanwen was stunned for a moment by the sudden change of topic, then nodded his head after a while, and replied blankly: "So you know too... Anyway, that's how it is, my house is blocking it, so he dare not come Really, it’s a big deal for me to avoid him.”
In fact, before obsessing over Xie Ming, the target of the second prince was originally Mu Yuanwen. After all, Mu Yuanwen is also a well-known handsome man in Beijing, but when the second prince saw Xie Ming, who was much more outstanding than Mu Yuanwen, he directly She liked the new and hated the old and left Mu Yuanwen behind.
It wasn't until He Yan was beheaded by Prince Su that the second prince remembered that besides Xie Ming, he had another beauty that he hadn't caught before, so he turned around and started pestering Mu Yuanwen wantonly.
He Yan originally wanted to buy a glass of wine for himself, but when he thought of Prince Su frowning and worrying stupidly every time he was drunk, he picked up the teapot beside him and added a cup of tea instead.
He shook the small and exquisite blue and white porcelain cup in his hand, and said casually: "I'm not sure, what can't an idiot like the second prince do? You'd better be careful and bring more people with you."
The second prince's heartless and courageous counselor really didn't dare, but he didn't dare, but someone would push him to dare.
