Shen Mieyue half-closed his dark eyes, and suddenly reached out to grab Shen Xiuming's handsome face, his doubts became deeper and deeper, and his eyes widened.
The officials around were terrified and thought the two were having a grudge against each other, so they rushed forward to dissuade them.
"General Shen, we can discuss this!"
"Hey, let Shen Tongpan go quickly. He has thin arms and legs and can't stand your beating."
"What's going on?"
"General Shen, let go, let go! Judge Shen is not a homosexual!"
"No wonder General Shen has not married yet, it turns out he has that fetish... Oh!"
There was a lot of noise all around, and the envoys from the State of Yue were watching the fun.
Among them was a petite envoy from the Kingdom of Yue, who smelled like medicine. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with excitement. He covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "Oh my! A brave general falls in love with a pretty little judge? It's even more exciting than a storybook."
Shen Xiuming was a grown man, but he was grabbed by the face by General Shen. He felt so ashamed and angry. Even though you are a great and powerful general of the second rank, you cannot insult a small official like me in person!
The river wind was cold, and the confusion in Shen Mieyue's eyes became deeper and deeper, his gaze was like a knife: "Your name is Shen Xiuming? Are you from Shenjia Village in Jiangzhou? You have a brother and two sisters?"
Shen Xiuming's face was reddened by the pinching, and he suppressed his temper and replied: "Yes, I am indeed from Shenjia Village, and my brother died early - General, let go!"
Shen Mieyue loosened his hand, his dark eyes staring at Shen Xiuming.
After a while, he seemed to have finally confirmed something. Shen Mieyue's voice trembled, and tears burst out of his eyes with excitement: "Little brother! You, you are still alive!"
Shen Xiuming stood there in a daze, carefully looking at General Shen in front of him.
Looking through his dark skin and ignoring the hideous scars on his face, the General Chen Mieyue in front of him seemed familiar.
Shen Xiuming’s head was buzzing, and he opened his mouth in disbelief: “Big...Brother?”
...
...
Donghua Mountain, the royal villa.
Spring is in full swing and the peach blossoms on the branches are in bloom. Shen Wei, wearing shorts, ran around the yard for a dozen laps, then stopped at the stone steps by the water to warm up and relax her muscles.
By exercising for a long time, Shen Wei's physical fitness has greatly improved. She rarely gets sick and recovers quickly when she does.
In addition, Shen Wei also practices yoga every day, and her limbs are very flexible. When she returns to the palace in the future, she will not be afraid of Li Yuanjing's troubles.
Men are very vicious and most women can't stand them. It was also a skill for Shen Wei to be highly compatible with him in bed.
"Master, great news!" Cai Lian ran into the yard happily.
Shen Wei wiped the sweat from her forehead and crushed a passing grasshopper with her foot, but she wasn't too excited: "Did the emperor send someone?"
Cai Lian nodded quickly.
Cai Lian smiled happily: "Master, double happiness! Your brother is back!"
Shen Wei was confused and didn't react for a long time: "My brother? Which brother?"
Cai Lian: "General Shen Mieyue! This matter has spread all over Yanjing City. General Shen escorted the Vietnamese envoy back to Beijing. When passing through Jiangnan, he found that Shen Tongpan was his brother who had been separated for many years."
Shen Wei's breathing hitched.
I vaguely remember that she seemed to have a brother named Shen Xiuxing. Shen Xiuxing went to the border to join the army, but died unexpectedly in the war, and his body was never found.
"Isn't General Shen's name Shen Mieyue?" Shen Wei grabbed Cai Lian's hand.
Cai Lian said, "People in Yanjing are saying that General Shen hated the bandits of Yue State, so he changed his name to Mie Yue. His real name is Xiu Xing. The emperor learned that you are General Shen's biological sister, and he has sent palace servants to Donghua Mountain to take the queen mother and you back to the palace."
Li Yuanjing is looking for a suitable reason to take Shen Wei back to the palace.
Who could have thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world, Shen Wei is actually Shen Mieyue's biological sister!
Bringing Shen Wei back and reuniting the Shen family would be a perfect reason to return to the palace.
Shen Wei lowered her eyes, thinking: "Shen Mieyue..."
When she was in Prince Yan's Mansion, Shen Wei had heard Li Yuanjing mention it many times. Li Yuanjing's words were full of praise for General Shen. He had also tried to win over Shen Mieyue, but failed.
Now, Chen Mieyue has become the "brother-in-law" of the current emperor by accident. There is no need to deliberately win him over, as they are already a family.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Wei ordered: "Cai Lian, take people to prepare and pack the luggage for returning to Yanjing."
Before returning to the palace, Shen Wei planned to meet the Queen Mother first. She slowly stood up, the calmness on her face faded, and was skillfully replaced with a worried expression.
The spring weather was warm, and there was a gentle breeze blowing in the mountains. Perhaps because she had been with children for so long, the empress dowager had also become childish at heart. Today, the Queen Mother brought her three little grandsons to fly kites on Peach Blossom Hill in the backyard.
When Shen Wei arrived, there were already three beautiful kites in the sky. The Queen Mother handed the kite string in her hand to the old nanny and glanced at Shen Wei: "Come into the pavilion and have a cup of tea."
Shen Wei nodded worriedly.
Not far away, Li Chengtai, who was flying a kite, frowned when he saw this.
The pavilion built in the mountains is in an excellent location. Sitting in the pavilion, feeling the gentle breeze, I could see peach blossoms blooming luxuriantly all over the distant mountains. Nanny Qian brought hot tea and snacks.
The Queen Mother took a sip of Biluochun hot tea and said in a gentle voice: "I already know the news from the palace. You are actually Shen Mieyue's biological sister. The fate in the world is really wonderful."
Before, the Queen Mother was worried that Shen Wei’s family background was too low and she would be attacked by the ministers after returning to the palace. But now, behind Shen Wei is the famous General Shen, who has made great military achievements, and the Shen family has soared to the sky.
Chengtai and Chengyou have such a powerful uncle, and their future will be smoother.
Shen Wei lowered her head, her face was not happy, and she said sullenly: "Since ancient times, ministers who have achieved great success have never had a good ending. I am worried that the emperor is afraid of my brother, and will dislike me as well."
Concubines come from humble family backgrounds and are easily looked down upon.
The concubines' family backgrounds were too high, which made the emperor wary of them.
Think about the famous generals in history such as Bai Qi, Han Xin, Zhou Yafu, etc. Their achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor, and they were feared and killed by the royal family. None of them had a good end.
Today's Li Yuanjing is no longer the King of Yan. He is an emperor who cares about the world. Shen Wei's family is rising day by day. If she arouses the emperor's suspicion, she will not end well.
The Queen Mother put down the white jade teacup, looked at Shen Wei's pretending to be sad, and said unhappily: "I don't know you yet? Don't act pitiful in front of me. You are full of tricks like a beehive, and you are the one with the most tricks."
The embarrassment on Shen Wei’s face flashed away.
During the three years in Taihua Mountain, Shen Wei and the Queen Mother lived together day and night, and the Queen Mother understood Shen Wei's character.
The Queen Mother also admired Shen Wei's intelligence.
Today, if it were any other girl, she would have been so happy that she would have lost her mind if she knew her brother was a general.
But Chen Wei was able to remain rational. Thinking of the disadvantages of "being too successful to be a threat to the ruler", she took the initiative to seek protection from the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has always believed that only a smart and far-sighted mother can raise a smart and sensible child. Only then can the century-old foundation of Qing Kingdom continue smoothly.
Shen Wei smiled obediently: "Mother, please show me a clear way. I don't want the Shen family to become a thorn in the emperor's side, and I want to live to be a hundred years old in peace."
