Chapter 1 Life

"I don't know the blessing, but for the sake of flesh and blood, if you want to revenge after being rich and noble in the future, you will come to me." Xu quietly whispered this sentence when he helped Mu Biwei get into the car.

Mu Bi, dressed in plain clothes, paused, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She shook off her hand with a smile and wrapped her skirt. The thick satin-embroidered dark thunder curtain immediately fell down to cover the sight of outside the car. The palace car was about to drive towards Miyagi. Because it was early and cold, there were no pedestrians on the road, only a few A few people bid farewell in front of the door, and it seems more and more unspeakably cold. Mu Bicheng is 13 years old and usually gets along well with this half-sister, and now he can't help feeling a little.

He subconsciously chased a few steps and shouted, "Sister--"

"Little Langjun is about to stop!" Xu's face was sad and didn't say anything, but he stared at the old servant next to him by wiping tears. The old servant was understanding and quickly came forward to hold Mu Bicheng and lowered his voice to persuade him urgently, "Xiaolangjun is reluctant to give up the second wife, but now the second wife has been edicted to enter the palace, and Xiaolangjun will harm the second wife!"

Mu Bicheng struggled and said angrily, "Who doesn't know that she is greedy for women and hates the new and the old? Sister has finally escaped the last selection but why she wants to go in? What kind of blessing is this..."

"Shut up!" Xu finally couldn't listen and shouted with a calm face, "If you don't want to kill your sister and kill our whole family, just roll back to the room and think about it behind closed doors!"

"Mother, the selection has passed. What do you want to go to the palace?" Mu Bicheng was shocked by Xu's sudden scolding and stopped struggling. He let the old servant pull him to the door of the house, but he still asked unwillingly, "Sister's ancestor has only passed away for less than half a year. How can she enter the palace?"

Xu ignored him with a cold face, and walked inward faster and faster under his feet, but Mu Bicheng was stubborn and followed her chatter all the way. Finally, he simply pulled her sleeve outside Shen Taijun's yard and said angrily, "Mother told me!"

"That's enough!" Although Mu Bicheng is Xu's biological son, he is so aggressive, or for the daughter of Mu Qiyuan's match, Xu couldn't stand it and said harshly, "What's the use of telling you?" Since it's useless, what if you know it? Besides, people have gone to the palace. Where did you get so much nonsense?

Mu Bicheng rarely saw his mother so angry. First, she was shocked and weakened, but then he did not accept it and said, "Now that my father and brother are guarding the border gates, and the man who stands at home is naturally me. Why can't I know the reason for such a big event as my sister entering the palace?"

Xu laughed angrily: "Your father..." She just said this, but the dispute between mother and son has shocked Shen Taijun to send someone out to see: "Madam, Lao Taijun heard Xiaolangjun's voice. Please go in with Xiaolangjun!"

Shen Taijun was born in a Yedu family and has a virtuous reputation. She is gentle and does not admire power. Since the Min family entered the door, she has never asked about the inner court. Even Xu, the stepdaughter-in-law, got the right to be a housekeeper the day after the wedding, so she is extremely respected. Hearing that she was disturbed, Xu had to hold back her heart and nodded. He said, "We're going in now."

Mu Bicheng reluctantly followed Xu and entered the door. The main hall was as warm as spring. Shen Taijun was wearing an indigo jacket and an autumn pleated skirt. His hair was covered with gorgeous hair behind his head and two or three red gold flat hairpins were inserted diagonally. His face was very haggard and he was sitting silently. After their salute, they didn't ask why they quarreled at the door, but said, "Biwei has left?"

"In my mother's words, the second wife has left." Xu said a little gloomyly.

Shen Taijun sighed, grabbed a brocade handba in his hand, and whispered, "So Qi'er and Bichuan are almost back?"

Xu understood what she meant and just said blankly, "What did your grandmother say? Aren't father and brother at the border? What did they come back for? Do you want to send sister? But my sister has gone to the palace now!"

"Did I just hear that you are arguing with your mother outside just for your sister to enter the palace?" Shen Taijun did not answer his question but asked rhetorical.

Mu Bicheng frowned: "Go back to grandma, that's right!"

"Since you want to know so much, you don't have to ask your mother, let me tell you." Shen Taijun said lightly.

Xu couldn't help blurted out, "Mother, let me talk about it!"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, he will know sooner or later." Shen Taijun said indifferently, "Besides, this matter can't be said to be your fault."

Mu Bicheng looked at Xu and hesitated a little, but Shen Taijun had already said, "Last month, Rouran invaded the Xuelan Pass. Before that, there were Rouran's spies in the Xuelan Pass who quietly ambush down. Now it is three feet of snow. Rouran took advantage of the snowy night to rush to the gate, and opened the door inside and outside... ..."

Although Mu Bicheng is young, he also knows the importance of Xuelan Pass to Beiliang, and his face suddenly changed!

Shen Taijun continued faintly: "The war is very tragic. Xuelan Pass resisted for a day and two nights or lost it. Fortunately for our family, although your father and brother had minor injuries, they withdrew from Xuelan Pass with the remnants - because of the heavy snow blocking the reinforcements' trip, on the third day, they left Xuelan The garrison in Bayi City, which is the nearest Guan, arrived, and it took five days for the two sides to finally take back the Xuelan Pass back, but Guanzhong has been captured and devastated - most importantly, Xuelan Pass went to a group of traveling Yedu teenagers not long before the softly entered the invasion, all of which died in this loss of customs, in which there is one , is He Ronghua's own brother who was very selected after entering the palace last year.

Seeing that Mu Bicheng was stunned, Shen Taijun closed his eyes and continued to say: "Originally, with your father's former credit and the sponsorship of the court, although Xuelan Pass has been lost for several days, since it has been recaptured, it is just a demotion or reprimanded by the imperial edict, He Ronghua is now getting the emperor. Heart..."

Mu Bicheng had just scolded her for being greedy for beauty. Of course, he knew how much the new emperor Beiliang listened to the favorite concubine now, and he unconsciously changed his face: "So sister..."

"Your aunt, whom you have never met, used to be the concubine of the former emperor. By chance, she saved a mother in the palace. The mother risked her life to spread the news and returned the favor - He Ronghua cried for her brother for two hours in front of today. Now she promised her on the spot to wait for the situation of Xuelanguan to be determined, and immediately flew to the crane guard. Hurry to capture your father and brother back and let He Ronghua deal with it. Now they are all in the prison of Yedu. Shen Taijun said indifferently, "At that time, whether you, the eldest son who is not in Xuelanguan can escape or not, it all depends on He Ronghua's mood. However, according to the mother, Ronghua is such a younger brother with the same father and mother, and he only has only one mother's sister. Now he is gritting his teeth and vowing that he will let my herdsmen out of this house... ”

Mu Bicheng opened his mouth.

"The only vitality of our family is your sister." Shen Taijun said lightly, "Today, I'm serious, so I listen to He Ronghua's words. You also know your sister's appearance! If it hadn't been for the fact that her ancestors' filial piety had not been eliminated when she came out to enrich the court, I'm afraid she would have gotten a place in the palace now. Now she has sent her to the palace to protect our herdsman. Although this idea was born by your mother, it was also agreed with me to save the family by giving up one person - such a practice is not sorry to anyone, that is It's the same for you. If your sister wants to resent it, there's nothing you can do. If your father and brother are gone, even if He Ronghua no longer pursues our daughter-in-law, what do you think can be done by the criminal's family? I only have your father's son, and the son of the shepherd's family is thin. If something happens to him, your mother alone is a woman who has something inside and outside these days. You are too young to help, but don't say those childish words to make her worry-free, you know?

Although Shen Taijun's tone was light, it made Mu Bicheng speechless. He had to stand up and bow his hand to receive the training and whispered, "Sun'er, I understand. Thank you for your advice."

"You go down first. I still have something to say to your mother." Shen Taijun taught Mu Bicheng a lot of words in one breath, and he was also a little tired and waved his hand tiredly.

After sending away Mu Bicheng, Xu knelt down in front of Shen Taijun despite several maids around him and sobbed, "I'm sorry, sister!"

"How can this be your fault?" Shen Taijun looked at her and sighed, waved back the maid, and then said, "The stepmother is embarrassed - how have you looked at Biwei and Bichuan over the years? What's more, Xuelan's such a thing involves the harem, and now she has such a temperament! If you don't send Biwei to the palace, do you want us to watch the shepherd's family like this? Since her surname is Mu and she has such a good appearance, this is also my Mu family. You don't have to think too much about it. That's all for this matter. Prepare well. Qi'er and Bichuan will certainly be released in the next two days. Xuelan Guan is originally miserable, not to mention that the prison is wet and depressed. Maybe there is the care of the He family. ...Don't cry! Even if Min is still alive, he should do the same! What's more, now it's Qi'er and Bichuan. One of them is Biwei's biological father and the other is her mother's brother. What can Min's life say?

Xu just leaned down in front of her and cried and refused to get up. Shen Taijun frowned and then realized that there was a trace of helplessness on his face: "Bichuan's sex. Zi is indeed a little stubborn. Just tell him that I came up with this idea and tighten his mouth. If he has any fire, just ask him to fire me!"

Even if he control the mouth of the Mu family, if Mu Biwei can be favored after entering the palace, he may not be able to meet Mu Bichuan. At that time, how the truth will be naturally clear. Compared with his mother's biological sister and his stepmother who has been resisted by him, Mu Bichuan will believe that he does not even ask this question. Instead of making Mu Bichuan more angry to know the truth in the future, it is better to directly admit that Mu Bichuan himself is also one of the reasons why Mu Biwei entered the palace. At this time, Mu Qi will suppress it at home, which is better than Mu Bichuan who does not know when he will attack in the future. So Shen Taijun's idea is not reliable at all.

But for the sake of Shen Taijun, Xu could only take the opportunity to close her tears and said, "It's useless for my daughter-in-law. I want my mother to worry like this."

"Children are all debts." Shen Taijun looked faint and couldn't see the joy and anger, but he only saw fatigue. He said leisurely, "Just live day by day."
