If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 473 Imperial Master

The Empress Dowager summoned Mu Chengtian into the palace and gave him a severe scolding.

"I will set off for Wudao Mountain tomorrow, but you are causing me trouble." The Empress Dowager smashed the teacup in her hand on Mu Chengtian's head.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you ask the prince to divorce the princess?"

"She has been dignified and polite every year, and has been with the Regent through thick and thin. The young couple finally have a good life, and as a mother, I don't want to make things difficult for them. It's your turn to speak up."

"You want the Mu family to be defeated by you, right?"

Mu Chengtian had a big bump on his forehead from being hit, and he didn't even dare to touch it, "Aunt, I was wrong, please don't be angry."

"Tell me, what do you want to do!" asked the Empress Dowager angrily.

"I don't plan to do anything, I just want to find a marriage for Baozhu." Mu Chengtian said.

The Empress Dowager sneered, "You don't care so much about your two sons, but you dare to offend the Regent by making such a request for your niece."

Mu Chengtian held the Empress Dowager's hand and said, "Aunt, please don't be angry. Baozhu is also my daughter."

"Don't mention your dirty deeds. What you and your son did was inhumane. If you wanted to succeed the throne, you shouldn't have discussed it with Zhong. She came to the palace early this morning just to divorce you." The Empress Dowager said unhappily.

"Aunt, please don't agree to it. I will definitely coax her when I go back." Mu Chengtian said quickly.

He sighed, "I know I'm sorry to Mrs. Zhong. She has hated me all these years. The late emperor trusted me and the Mu family before, but now... Aunt, let me say something disrespectful. You are going to Wudao Mountain. How can the new emperor and Queen Mother Ruan still tolerate the Mu family?"

The Empress Dowager was deflated by his words.

"As long as you behave yourself, the Mu family will live in peace." said the Empress Dowager.

Mu Chengtian said, "As parents, we all hope that our children and grandchildren will have a bright future. It doesn't matter if I retire, but my son..."

The Empress Dowager looked over coldly, "Which son are you planning for a future for?"

"Of course it's my son and Zhong's." Mu Chengtian said immediately, "Brother Qing is neither good at literature nor martial arts, so find him a job in the future."

"Aren't you taking him to the military camp for training?" asked the Empress Dowager.

Mu Chengtian treated his three sons equally, except for Mu Zhiqing, the son of Tian, ​​who was lazy and gluttonous in the military camp. He relied on the fact that he was the young master of the Mu family to snatch the military merits from his subordinates.

Mu Zhifeng and Mu Zhijie were willing to endure hardships and had no airs in the barracks, starting as small soldiers.

Mrs. Zhong taught her two sons very well.

Mu Chengtian's heart is made of flesh and blood, so when he sees his more outstanding son, he will of course be partial to him.

"He is not suitable for the military camp." Mu Chengtian didn't want to say anything bad about Mu Zhiqing in front of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "You can't help her."

“……”Mu Chengtian rubbed his eyebrows.

"You've made such a fuss that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will get angry with you. After giving you a beating, they will give you a date and then give your son a chance. Is this your plan?" asked the Grand Empress Dowager.

Mu Chengtian smiled and said, "This will definitely be the result."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Are you willing to hand over the military power?"

"Aunt, do you want me to rebel?" Mu Chengtian asked back, "If the Mu family rebels, will we have a chance of winning?"

If it weren't for Fu Jinyuan, he might still want to hold on to the military power.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Just keep it in mind."

……

Queen Mother Ruan naturally also heard about this. That day she rewarded Shen Suian with a lot of jewelry and silk. She wanted everyone to know that she liked Shen Suian as her daughter-in-law and she absolutely supported her.

At the same time, Fu Jinyi also issued an imperial decree, inviting Old Master Shen to be his imperial teacher and also granted him a mansion with five entrances.

From then on, the Shen family no longer lived in the regent's house in the royal capital, but had their own mansion granted to them.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor both supported Shen Sui'an, which was basically a slap in the face to Mu Chengtian.

I originally thought that this matter would displease the Empress Dowager, after all, the Mu family is the Empress Dowager's maiden family.

Who would have known that when the Empress Dowager set out for Wudaoshan, it was the Regent Prince and his wife who personally saw her off all the way to the suburbs.

"I'll be waiting for you at Wudao Mountain." The Empress Dowager held the hands of Fu Jinyuan and his wife and said this with a smile.

Shen Sui'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Empress Dowager did not blame them for not giving the Mu family face.

Jiang brought her son to visit Shen Sui'an.

"I was really nervous. I was worried that the Empress Dowager would blame you." Jiang said in a low voice.

"The Royal Grandmother is a broad-minded person." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"I have something to tell you." Jiang took out a letter, "A letter from Yao'er."

After Shen Siyi and Shen Mingyao were sent back to Kyoto City, they lived peacefully for a few days. Then Shen Siyi went to the Ding family every day and asked Ding Zhongxuan to marry her again.

Mrs. Ding was so angry that she had her husband driven away. Later, when she had no other choice, she reported the matter to the authorities.

After several times, Shen Siyi finally calmed down.

"No one would have thought that Shen Siyi could actually get married to the He family and become the concubine of Marquis Jingning."

Shen Sui'an was listening to what was said intermittently.

After hearing the latter part, she sat up straight in shock, "What? Shen Siyi became He Hongkui's concubine?"

"Yes." Jiang snorted coldly, "She has really learned everything from her aunt. All she has learned are methods that are not worthy of being shown on the stage."

"It's still unclear who will find whom." Shen Suian sneered.

Everyone in Kyoto City knew Shen Siyi's reputation. Given He Hongkui's current status and position, it was not a proud thing for him to take Shen Siyi as a concubine.

"Is Sister Yi going to cause any trouble again?" Jiang was a little worried.

Shen Sui'an thought of Wang from the Jingning Marquis' Mansion. She was not a good person. Now that Shen Siyi had entered the He family, would she be able to get away with it under Wang's control?

It's just dog eat dog.

"Very good." Shen Sui smiled happily.

"Sister Yi will have a hard time in the future."

Jiang clicked her tongue and said, "Tell me what's going on?"

Shen Sui'an briefly recounted what Wang had done, leaving Jiang dumbfounded.

"I have also met Wang, and I never thought she was such a hypocrite, so vicious." Jiang sighed.

"Let's not talk about them. Is it going well for grandfather to be the imperial tutor to the emperor?" Shen Sui'an asked. She didn't expect that Fu Jinyi would let her grandfather be the imperial tutor.

Jiang nodded, "There's nothing different, except that more people have visited our home recently."

"I'm just worried..."

"Are you worried that they will see their father, and afraid that outsiders will know that my father is a fool?" Shen Suian asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, mother. If anyone sees it, they will see it."

Shen Jianglin is less worrying now than in normal times.

Given her and Fu Jinyuan's current status, it is not appropriate for them to have a too powerful family, but the current situation is just right.
