Volume 1 The Wind and Snow Into the Purple Terrace Chapter 2 The Mu Family
Yecheng, the capital of the Northern Liang Dynasty, is the capital of the former Wei Dynasty, the Mu family rose because of military merits in the former Wei Dynasty, and was deeply trusted by the Wei Emperors of the past dynasties, when the Wei Shenwu Emperor was in power, the three Xiongguan between Rouran and the Central Plains were guarded by the Mu family, but the Shenwu Emperor enjoyed the longevity of the immortal, and the Shenwu Emperor was worried that the young son and the young girl were not supported before his death, and the edict ordered the elite generals of the Mu family to return to Ye to support his son to ascend the throne.
I don't know that the shepherd's family is halfway there, but I received an urgent report - Rouran Starry Night is coming, flying to Cangmang Pass, the soldiers are trapped and choking the cloud pass, and the vanguard is pointing to the Snow Blue Pass, the last barrier in the Central Plains! The head of the Mu family was shocked, and after a short discussion, it was decided to let Mu Chi, the eldest son of the long house, and his son Mu Xun lead 3,000 people to continue to rush to Yedu to support the young emperor, and the rest rushed back to help.
ββWhen the reinforcements rushed back to Xuelan Pass, the Choke Cloud Pass was crumbling, because the Mu family wanted to encourage the army, and the family members all lived in the Choke Cloud Pass, at this time, the Mu family asked for help from the nearest Bayi City, and galloped to the aid of the Choke Cloud Pass in the starry night, but they didn't want to be ambushed, and they were almost killed and wounded!
The night before the arrival of the three thousand Mujia troops who continued to rush to Yedu, they first received the news that the only young son of Emperor Shenwu had died violently, and the royal family then fought for the throne in chaos, and the father and son of Mu Chi were worried about their families and the responsibility of guarding the land.
Mu Chi led 3,000 elites to come back to help, just in time to catch up with the Mu family and civilians in the Rouran Wrapping and Choking Cloud Pass to storm the Snow Blue Pass, Mu Chi personally shot his wife and mother to show his determination, 3,000 people died in battle, and waited for the Bayi reinforcements!
From the previous Chaotai Shizan, there was only one Mu Xun left in the Mu family of four generations of towns and three passes, and Dan Xin was the grandfather of Mu Biwei.
Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty was the former Wei prime minister, and the Mu family is also a world friend, after Gaozu established the Northern Liang, he took care of Mu Xun, not only hired the daughter of the Yedu family Shen as his wife, after Mu Xun died early due to illness, the special edict ordered his son Mu Qi to enter the palace for Ruizong to read, in order to show the loyalty of the Mu family.
Therefore, although the Mu family has two generations of single transmission, but the family has always had a clean and upright reputation, especially Mu Qi is deeply favored by Ruizong, but does not admire the prosperity of Yedu, when the eldest son Mu Bichuan was still in infancy, he invited himself to inherit the spirit of the ancestors, continue to guard the snow blue pass, and only return to the capital once in a few years, but also won the praise of the government and the opposition.
Otherwise, after Mu Biwei's biological mother, Shangshu Ling Min Rugai's beloved daughter Min went to Min, Mu Qi would not be able to marry the daughter of the Xu family of the Yedu Wang clan as a continuation.
Speaking from the heart, the Xu family is not bad as a stepmother, since entering the door, Mu Bichuan and Mu Biwei who are out of the Yuan with the Min family have always been on the heart, in the end, the daughter of the family, if it is a continuation of the string and the concubine in front of the concubine, Shen Taijun looked at it and didn't say it, it was passed out, and the Xu family also lost face, the Xu family was defeated because of the support for the King of Jiqu and Ruizong's struggle for the throne, and now Emperor Taining is the son of Ruizong, since Ruizong succeeded to the throne, the Xu family has been doing low and small restraints over the years, so as not to give political opponents any handles, Thus completely decaying.
Moreover, when the Xu family just entered the door, Min Rugai had not passed away, and the pair of children left by his daughter often had to be taken to the Min Mansion to live in a small place, and now that such a thing happened to the Mu family, for the sake of the family, Mu Biwei is the Xu family's biological child, and may not be able to get out.
It's just that the stepmother is not as good as the biological mother, and she is usually estranged, and now it is the Xu family who has come forward to talk about it, thinking of the reputation of being heavy on color and light on virtue today, and has been entering the palace, Mu Biwei's anger and resentment are still difficult to settle.
The carriage stopped suddenly, Mu Biwei's thoughts were interrupted, and she listened to the waiter outside the car and said in a suppressed voice: "Mu family lady, in front of you is Zuo Zhaoyi and Sun Guifei's chariot, and please get out of the car to greet her." β
Emperor Taining thirteen ascended the throne, three years of national filial piety was the end of the year before last, the national filial piety was over, the Empress Dowager Gao issued an order to select, in order to continue the imperial lineage, as a result, the first time to choose more than a dozen beautiful official girls, Taining Emperor Wu felt dissatisfied, after a year he personally ordered to choose again, and therefore, the new emperor fell a reputation of heavy color and light morality, and legend has it that he likes the new and hates the old, and now the oldest in the palace is only two years before the palace, but has completely lost favor for more than a year has not seen him......
Now that there is no queen in the palace, Zuo Zhaoyi Qu is respected, but it is rumored that the most favored among the palace concubines is the noble concubine Sun, one of the three ladies, but I didn't expect that I had just entered the harem, and I hadn't seen Emperor Taining yet, but I met these two first, and I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence?
Mu Biwei listened to the words of the chamberlain, and hurriedly got out of the carriage from the curtain that was lifted, but saw that on the spacious palace road, I don't know when the snowflakes were raised, and the two rows of palace ladies in the distance surrounded by two gorgeous chariots were coming from the mighty river, Mu Bi glanced at it slightly, and found that the two chariots were actually walking side by side, and unconsciously pursed her lips - Liang Chengwei system, the left and right Zhaoyi in the harem are second only to the queen, and the position is the same as the left and right prime ministers, but the noble concubine is one level lower than Zuo Zhaoyi, and when she was outside the palace, she heard that her grandmother Shen Taijun, who had a decree and wanted to enter the palace to celebrate every New Year's Day, mentioned it, Because Taining did not establish a queen, so now the palace affairs have been ordered by the Empress Dowager Gao to let Zuo Zhaoyi take care of it - although this Qu family does not have the respect of the queen, but the queen's affairs, which shows the status in the harem, but now Sun Guifei is openly parallel to it, if it is not for the fact that these two people are like sisters, Qu specially promoted the Sun family, then it is just the opposite.
Walking very slowly, according to the rules, Mu Biwei got out of the carriage and knelt down on the side of the road from a distance to see Qu and Sun's ceremonial drive, and after a cup of tea, Mu Biwei had already felt the snow under her knees melt and seeped into her robe, and the corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of the corner of Gong E's skirt brushing in front of her, and an elderly palace man stood up and asked, "Gu Changfu, who is this girl?" How will it be here? β
"If you go back to the middle envoy, this is a girl from the herdsman's family, and His Majesty issued an edict yesterday to let her enter the palace to meet her, so she will be here." The attendant who took Mu Biwei into the palace replied respectfully.
But he heard the envoy in the center say, "Is it?" She's going to see His Majesty? Then you are taking the wrong way, Your Majesty is not on the side of Jique Palace now, but in the Qilan Hall of Pingle Palace, you are not good at going this way. β
Gu Changfu seemed to be taken aback, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "I see, thank you for being in the middle!" β
"It's okay, I just saw this girl kneeling on the ground from a distance, and the noble concubine said that most likely you still think that Your Majesty is still in Jique Palace." There seemed to be a smile in the words of the center, Gu Changfu thanked him again and again, Mu Bi knelt silently, and listened to a woman's calm command for a while: "Get up, since there is an edict, Gu Changfu has taken someone with him." β
The voice was smooth and quiet, with a convincing bearing.
"Thank you, mother." Mu Biwei didn't dare to raise her head at will, and in the corner of her eyes, she saw a chariot passing in front of her, and she didn't know if it was Zuo Zhaoyi or Sun Guifei, so she thanked her vaguely, because it was the end of winter, and there was a thick barrier on all sides of the chariot to shelter from the wind, but no sound came out.
When the two groups of people were far away, Gu Changfu helped Mu Biwei up, his eyes were strange, and he said, "Mu family lady, our family will send you to Qilan Palace." β
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, ......what is this Qilan Palace" Mu Biwei saw his expression, knowing that there must be something different, seeing that there was no one left and right, he hurriedly took one of the purses prepared by the Xu family before going out, stuffed it into his sleeve, and asked in a low voice.
Gu Changfu was not embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "If it is a lady from another family, it is okay to see it in the Qilan Palace, but you are the lady of the Mu family...... The person who lives in this Qilan Hall now is He Ronghua! β
Mu Biwei's face suddenly changed slightly!
If it weren't for He Ronghua's sake, although the Mu family is now not as good as Ruizong's, Min Rugai has also passed away, but the He family counts up to four generations, and was still a lowly businessman in the former Wei Dynasty. Originally, it was trying to teach the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it was necessary to marry high, before the Empress Dowager Gao personally ordered to enrich the harem, because the mother's filial piety was not full of just missed, which made the He family strangle, Emperor Taining added again, the He family celebrated with their foreheads, and sure enough, the He family's posture was overwhelming the girls, and the Taining Emperor was happy to see it, and he was registered on the spot as a woman, and entered Ronghua half a year ago. The Mu family, which is always valued by the Yedu family, also had to embark on the road of offering women to the palace.
ββListening to the answer between Gu Changfu and Fang Cai's envoy, it is obvious that Emperor Taining originally planned to summon Mu Biwei in the Jique Palace where he lives, and the king openly summons the daughter of an unselected courtier, but does not go through the queen mother or Zuo Zhaoyi, who is acting as the queen, this is no longer courteous, but the news that Emperor Taining arrived at the Qilan Hall made Mu Biwei's heart sink, could it be that He Ronghua is so favored, but Emperor Taining was moved by her again and regretted it?
This is not possible!
Mu Biwei has not all gone to the base in her heart at the moment, how much resentment is there, but she is not unable to distinguish the severity, if this will still be at home, it will be fine, now that everyone has entered the palace, how can there be no rumors outside the palace? If she can't stay, even if the Mu family is willing to continue to take her back, the Mu family is finished, she won't be able to end well, even if the Mu family doesn't fall, this will enter the palace like this - going back is a lifelong end!
Again...... His father and his brother......
Mu Biwei, who got back into the carriage, gritted her teeth secretly.
No matter what battle He Ronghua prepared in the Qilan Palace, today she must let Emperor Taining fall in love with herself and open her mouth to keep people!
