Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Shen Wei looked at the bright moonlight, her eyes flashing with a dark light: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, I miss him so much."

The family will soon be reunited.

The eldest brother is a mighty general, the elder sister Shen Qiang is a large landowner who works as a farmer, Shen Wei is a palace concubine and a wealthy businessman, and the younger brother is a new noble in the court.

The Shen family is about to rise.

Of course, Shen Wei had to wake up the Shen family. The Shen family seemed to be in its heyday and had a bright future, but they had to remain sober and rational.

Only by not being greedy for merit and reckless, not being overbearing and domineering, not taking advantage of favor and getting proud, not participating in party struggles, and being loyal to the emperor, can the family remain standing and future generations prosper.

Of course, Shen Wei also had to prepare for the worst - the emperor was ruthless, and Li Yuanjing might also be afraid of the Shen family and attempt to destroy the Shen family and Shen Wei.

Then Shen Wei could only plan secretly, win over court officials, and rely on the military power in Shen Mieyue's hands and her own financial resources to support her son to ascend to the throne.

...

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, like spilled mercury, illuminating the official road leading to Yanjing City.

Shen Mieyue escorted the Yue State delegation and rested at a post station in the suburbs.

The post station was brightly lit.

Even though they were very close to Yanjing City, Shen Mieyue did not relax his vigilance. He arranged for fully armed soldiers to patrol to guard against attacks from bandits.

"Brother, please eat something." Shen Xiuming brought a bowl of pork elbow, walked to the entrance of the post station, and handed it to Shen Mieyue.

Shen Mieyue sat on the wooden stool: "Thank you."

Shen Xiuming smiled and said, "We are brothers, don't be so polite. Mother's carriage should be arriving in Yanjing soon. We will return to Beijing in two days, meet the two sisters, and have a reunion dinner with our family."

Due to a middleman's error in delivering the message, Shen Mieyue mistakenly believed that his entire family was killed by the Vietnamese army, and Shen's mother believed that her eldest son died in the battlefield.

Fortunately, with God's blessing, their family was reunited again.

Shen Mieyue slapped Shen Xiuming on the head and said, "You bastard, you actually got into the bad habit of gambling and caused my third sister to sell herself into slavery."

Shen Xiuming held his head and cried, with a look of regret: "Brother, I have stopped gambling a long time ago! Don't mention the past! Third sister is now the imperial concubine, and maybe she will be the imperial concubine in the future. It can be said that the hardship has paid off."

Shen Mieyue glared at him: "The women in the harem are vicious. Third sister is simple and kind, she wouldn't even step on a grasshopper to death, how can she have a smooth life in the harem?"

Shen Xiuming kept his mouth shut.

There were so many beauties in the harem, and Shen Wei was thrown into the mountains by the emperor for three years, and was not brought back to the palace until half a month ago. It can be seen that the emperor did not care about Shen Wei, and took Shen Wei back to the palace only for Shen Mieyue's sake.

The culprit who pushed Shen Wei into the abyss was Shen Xiuming.

Every time Shen Xiuming thought about it, he wanted to slap himself a few times. He really deserved to die.

He could only work hard to make achievements and improve his official position. The higher his official position, the more support his sister in the palace would have.

"Brother, you are just a military man who has been guarding Liangzhou for many years, but you know the dangers of the harem?" Shen Xiuming asked curiously.

Shen Mieyue's face turned red: "Of course someone told me."

Shen Xiuming: "Who is it?"

Shen Mieyue coughed guiltily: "Don't worry about it."

Of course it was Sun Qingmei who told him.

Sun Qingmei is the daughter of the late General Sun. She joined the army and was as brave as any man. She became a heroic female general and fought in many battles with Shen Mieyue.

Shen Mieyue and Sun Qingmei lived together in Liangzhou City for three years, and Shen Mieyue fell in love with this brave and tenacious woman.

A warrior's mind is straightforward, Shen Mieyue boldly expressed his love and wanted to marry Sun Qingmei. However, after expressing his love countless times, Sun Qingmei politely rejected him, which made Shen Mieyue very depressed.

She obviously likes me, why does she always reject me?

Women’s minds are really hard to understand.

"Report! General, there is a carriage on the official road heading towards the post station!" The patrolling soldier suddenly ran over to report. A plain-looking carriage drove up the official road, startling the patrolling soldier.

Shen Mieyue stood up with a knife in his hand, staring at the carriage vigilantly with his hawk-like eyes.

Where did the carriage come from in the middle of the night?

The carriage stopped, and the soldiers patrolling outside the post station quickly drew their swords. The carriage stopped by the roadside, the gray curtain opened, and a slender figure walked down.

The moonlight was like white frost, illuminating the pretty face of the woman. She was dressed simply and looked beautiful. She looked over timidly and said stiffly, "I am Tan Tairou, looking for Master Yan Yunting. Can you pass the message to me?"

Tan Tairou is here.

Shen Mieyue narrowed his eyes, but still did not relax his vigilance. He said in a deep voice, "Someone, go and ask General Yan to come. He said an old friend is looking for him."

Someone immediately went into the room to pass on the message.

Yan Yunting had already rested in the post station. Hearing the attendant's message, Yan Yunting sat up from the bed.

Is there an old friend coming to see him?

Could it be...Princess Zhaoyang?

Yan Yunting hurriedly got up and dressed, quickly changing into a blue robe and fixing his hair. During the days away from Yanjing City, Yan Yunting missed Princess Zhaoyang and Tan Tairou every day.

But unfortunately, Tan Tairou replied to every letter sent to Yanjing City, but Zhaoyang did not reply to any of them.

The more Zhaoyang refused to believe it, the more anxious Yan Yunting became.

Who could have expected that Princess Zhaoyang would rush to the post station overnight to meet him in advance.

Yan Yunting raised the corners of his lips and hurried out of the post station.

The moonlight was like water, and Tan Tairou was standing alone in thin clothes. Yan Yunting was slightly disappointed, thinking that it was Princess Zhaoyang who came.

But seeing the affection in Tan Tairou's eyes, Yan Yunting still revealed a doting smile.

Time flies, but his Rouer still loves him as always.

"Brother Yunting!" Tan Tairou rushed over happily.

Yan Yunting stretched out his arms and gently embraced her: "Silly girl, why don't you wait for me in Yanjing City?"

Tan Tairou raised her head, tears falling down her cheeks: "I waited for you at home every day. I missed you so much that I secretly harnessed a carriage and came to see you."

The two hugged each other.

Shen Xiuming coughed slightly and reminded Yan Yunting: "General Yan, it's cold outside. Take this girl in to have some hot tea to warm herself up."

Yan Yunting nodded and took Tan Tairou into the post station.

After Yan Yunting left, Shen Xiuming lowered his voice and gossiped about Shen Mieyue: "Brother, Yan Yunting wants to marry Princess Zhaoyang, but he is still having an affair with another woman. Is he planning to have two wives? Will the emperor agree?"

Shen Mieyue was not interested: "It has nothing to do with me."

Anyway, Shen Mieyue only planned to marry Sun Qingmei in this life.

The other men who were hugging him had nothing to do with him.

At this time, a clear voice came from behind, saying lazily: "Men are all bad, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot."

Shen Xiuming turned around and saw a young man in a blue shirt approaching him.

The young man was dressed in the clothes of an envoy from another country. He was tall and slender, with a fair face and a very handsome appearance. When he walked over, the night wind blew up his long sleeves, making him look a bit like a fairy.

But the next moment, the young man sat down on the empty bench, holding a delicious chicken leg in his hand, and started eating it by himself.

The posture of eating the chicken leg was very crude, and his sage-like demeanor was immediately gone.

Shen Xiuming had not had much interaction with the Yue envoy, so he bowed and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

The young man gnawed on a chicken leg and said, "My surname is Mo, and my given name is Xun."

The young man had a pleasant voice, as crisp as a bell.

Shen Xiuming bowed and said, "Master Mo, you are also a man, why are you still scolding men for their bad behavior?"

Mo Xunliang said leisurely: "I just love to scold, don't mind me, believe it or not, I will scold you too."

Shen Xiuming: ...

You Vietnamese men have such a bad temper!

Mo Xun quickly finished a chicken leg, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and continued, "The world is big, and there are countless inferior men like Yan Canjun. I have a friend whose wife passed away. He was so homesick that he went around looking for girls who looked like his wife. This behavior is really disgusting."

Shen Xiuming echoed: "It's really abominable."

His wife is gone, but he's still looking for a replacement. What a scumbag!

Mo Xun stood up slowly, stretched his body, and suddenly turned to ask Shen Mieyue: "General Shen, has anyone secretly followed the delegation along the way?"
