His mother was a princess of noble birth.
He had no impression of his father, Duanmu Guangyun... He was born into an ordinary country gentry family, with a tradition of farming and reading. He had some background, but was not rich at all.
Duanmu Guangyun can be said to be an elite child of the Duanmu family that has only appeared for many generations. Not only is he good at reading, he is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition, he has a free and easy personality and is upright. His demeanor is truly admirable.
Her filial piety and career were both smooth, and she was chosen by the princess to marry. The income and reputation she brought to the Duanmu family were considerable! But she didn't expect...Guo Huiyi died young.
Such a talented person who supported his family died young.
Duanmu Hui had no support from his paternal family, was extremely irritable, and had caused too much trouble in the capital. The princess had no choice but to send him to her eldest brother.
His uncle, cousin and younger cousin were all very kind to him, so Duanmu Hui did not go astray.
However, things are different when he is older than when he was a child. In the army inherited from his maternal family, ability means power, and power means benefits. He has older cousins above him and younger cousins below him. If he is too outstanding and controls too much, he will squeeze out what belongs to them.
My uncle took the trouble to train me, I can't take over his position...
So, he took advantage of his mother's remarriage to return to the capital and never went back. However, he had to find a job! But a high salary was unrealistic. A low salary, how could he bear it? After struggling for a while, he happened to save Aunt Yi Bai, and through Qi Wu and Wen Yu, he met the Crown Prince and his grandson.
After two conversations, he followed the two princes wholeheartedly and made considerable contributions in secret.
He followed the right person. The new emperor treated him as his confidant and handed over the "private goods" in the hands of Duke Xingguo to him.
But it makes him happy!
Outside, he looked like he was not surprised by the favor, but in his own yard, he turned over and over again! He took it and ignored it! He devoted his whole body and mind to it, often soaking in the camp, and spent less time in the capital.
He stayed in the camp for another two months, and when he came back, he got another "surprise"...
This surprise was given by his mother, the princess...
She, she, she, she... at the age of over 40, is pregnant!
After hearing this news, Duanmu Hui's face was as red as a grocery store. If it wasn't for his mother, he didn't know what he would say! He was really angry and annoyed. He went to tell his mother, but when he saw his mother, he was shocked.
Although the princess was not beautiful before, she had a unique temperament and a wide range of hobbies. She could ride a horse and dance, and lived a rich and leisurely life. Therefore, she maintained a good figure and looked particularly young!
Now… he was almost unrecognizable.
The princess was lying on the bed, her face was sallow, her hair was disheveled, and she was as thin as a piece of paper... She might have just vomited, and the room smelled extremely bad!
"How did you become like this?" Duanmu was anxious and blurted out this question.
He doesn't know how to be affectionate, filial and considerate! He looked at the princess with disdain...
During this period, Princess Huiduan really felt that life was worse than death, but seeing her son like this, she actually smiled, "Surprising, right? Surprised?"
Duanmu Hui couldn't believe it: "How old are you and you're still trying to make the old tree bloom? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Princess Huiduan glared at him and didn't even have the energy to scold him, "Stop talking, I feel so uncomfortable. I didn't expect it..."
"Why didn't you find a doctor to solve it earlier?" Duanmu Hui asked!
"Shut up!" The princess endured the discomfort for a while, stroking her belly and said, "Do you... want a brother or a sister?"
"I want a club!" Duanmu had just sat down, but he jumped up again, pointed at her angrily and said, "Look at you now, you still think you are a little girl! You are an old woman, don't you know? Don't you know what to do about this matter?"
Princess Huiduan was furious, thinking: Do you know what to do? How old are you? What man of your age doesn't have a wife or concubine? I don't even know if you are a homosexual!
But even if you are a homosexual, you should bring one back to me!
I have so many words in my heart to mock him and scold him! But I am afraid that even if I use all my strength, I can't say more than two words, so I can only say: "You... shut up."
Don't even think about it anymore! Close your eyes and lie there, motionless.
"Do you really want it?" Duanmu Hui paced around the room angrily.
He was so scared! The crying, smelly baby appeared in front of him. He shuddered. No! Really no! "How old is it? I'll think of a way... Yes, I'll go find Lao Huang!" After saying that, he rushed out.
"Wait..." Princess Huiduan was unable to call him back.
Duanmu Hui hurried to find Song Shang. Song Shang always had Doctor Huang with him, and Doctor Huang was quite powerful.
As soon as they met, he took me to Doctor Huang's house.
Doctor Huang smiled bitterly: "I went to see it a long time ago! As soon as our Duke's wife got the news, she took me there."
Duanmu Hui was anxious and angry, "She is already forty years old? What is going on? If I had married earlier, she would have been a grandmother! This is simply outrageous! Old Huang, you need to think of a solution quickly!"
"How can this be something I could think of?!"
Song Shang calmly picked up the tea. Yao's pulse was out, it was a boy. Doctor Huang said that the pregnancy was good.
He will have a son soon!
And Duanmu Hui... was serving tea to Song Shangle, but his hand started shaking and the tea spilled.
Doctor Huang looked solemn, "The princess is less than two months pregnant, but the reaction is indeed too strong. At this age... it is not good for her. The first time I went back, I told her after the examination that it should be resolved in time... The Duke's wife also advised, but the princess refused to listen!"
"Refused to listen?!" Duanmu Hui jumped up, "Then you should force her to drink the medicine... Why didn't you notify me?" Duanmu Hui shouted at Song Shang.
Song Shang looked bitter: "Can you please be reasonable? What position do I have to speak? Besides, what's the use of knowing? As long as the princess agrees, Doctor Huang can also think of a way, but can you convince her?"
Duanmu held his head, "What should I do?" Suddenly an idea came to him, "I'll go find Wen Yu! It's all her uncle's fault!"
…
The court dispute also affected the families of ordinary people. My cousin's wedding date was postponed, and the bride will be marrying in the next two days.
In a few days, Zhuzhu will also get married...Zhuanzhu and Wenyu will be busy with everything.
Moreover, the new emperor kept Qi Wu around, and no one knew what he was doing. Anyway, he was not at home all day...
Wen Yu is the newly crowned wife of a duke. Her husband is the emperor's "little brother" and she is the queen's "little sister", so there are many people who want to get close to her.
Today I finally got some free time to stay at home and gain weight, but then someone came to report: General Duanmu wants to see you!
"He's back! Hey, Princess... please come in!"
Duanmu came in with a dark face. When Wen Yu saw him like that, she felt worried for him.
"Wen Yu, you have the right idea. Tell me what we should do?" Duanmu Hui was not polite either.
Wen Yu was speechless. A successful and brutal man came to me and asked me: My mother is pregnant, what do you say? Oh! What a jerk.
"I've known about the princess's affairs for a long time. I brought Doctor Huang to her house at that time. Doctor Huang's opinion was not very appropriate, but, look at the princess... We talked for a long time, but she didn't listen!"
Duanmu Hui looked up at the sky, "What should I do? I haven't seen your uncle yet, what did he say?"
"My grandmother and second uncle from my mother's side expressed surprise and worry. They told the princess that they would listen to her in everything. If she wanted this child, they would be devoted to her and add a strong note for her in the family tree.
If the princess doesn't want it, they will understand. They will find the best doctor and put the princess's health first. "
Duanmu Hui snorted, and thought of Wen Feng, regretting it greatly! If he had intervened earlier, his mother would not have married him, and there would not have been all these troubles.
"But the princess herself is willing! Doctor Huang and I have been arguing until our lips are worn out. But she just smiles and won't listen to a word. What can we do?"
Duanmu Hui said: "Then..."
Wen Yu interrupted him: "I wanted to write you a letter. But the princess has made up her mind, what's the point of you coming back? If you can persuade her, you can also find a way now!"
"Why are you in the same tune as Song Shang?"
Duanmu Hui got no support from Wen Yu and returned home.
Old Mrs. Wen and Wen Feng both came back, and as expected, they repeated what Wen Yu had just said.
Old Madam Wen also stated that if the princess gave birth to a son for the Wen family, most of the Wen family's assets would be handed over to this son.
Duanmu Hui snorted coldly: "Although the Wen family is not poor, I don't care about their little family property!"
Old Madam Wen added, "If it's a daughter, the Wen family will ensure that she grows up in luxury and gets married with a grand wedding."
Duanmu Hui was a little distracted...
He knew his stubborn nature and was afraid that he would never have children in this life. If his mother gave him a brother or sister...
No! My cousin's children, when they cry, it's like a demonic sound piercing my brain. The key is... they can't be beaten! He is desperate!
So, he ignored the Wen family and went to his mother's room, forcing her to "solve it quickly!"
But the princess ignored him completely. When she felt he was annoying, she would say, "Oh, oh, I can't take it anymore..."
