At General Mu's mansion, Mu Xue packed her bags and set off for the border with her brother.
She grew up in the border area. There are too many shameless men in the imperial city. She wants to go back to the border and stay away from them.
Mu Qingjue still wanted to persuade his sister to stay.
"Sister's parents asked you to come back because they don't want you to go back. Didn't aunt already ask someone to find you a husband?"
"Brother, you know that the people in the Imperial City have been laughing at me for two years now, saying I'm vulgar and uncouth. Those noble ladies are even more arrogant and look down on me. They won't choose me as their daughter-in-law."
"Except for those who want to get close to the General's Mansion, the rest are people with ulterior motives. In the final analysis, they just want to take advantage of the General's Mansion. I will not give in to their wishes."
"The men at the border are more suitable for me."
As for them not pretending to love me terribly, they actually just want to use me.
Xie Shuchen thought that after ignoring her for a few days, when he came to the general's mansion to find her again, she would rush up to him enthusiastically and look at him lovingly. No matter what he asked for, she would agree.
But in reality, there was only the lukewarm voice of the servant in the general's mansion.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Well, get up. Where's your lady?"
"Your Highness, my young lady returned to the border with the Major General a few days ago."
What! She went back to the border? Impossible, how could she bear to leave me! She was clearly deeply in love with me, to the point of not wanting to marry anyone but me, what on earth had happened?
Xie Shuchen was sulking alone for several days. When Wen Mengyin found out, she had to come up with another plan.
Finally, he set his sights on his own concubine's sister.
After the couple discussed it, they decided that this was the only option.
Wen Mengyan had always been fond of Xie Shuchen and had always fantasized about marrying him as a concubine. Now that Xie Shuchen said a few sweet words to her, she agreed to everything.
"Don't worry, Yan'er. I will never let you down after this is accomplished."
Wen Mengyan snuggled in his arms with a happy face.
"Yan'er believes in His Highness."
In the private room on the second floor of Bainianglou, Wen Mengdie stood by the window and watched the marriage procession leave.
"Host, do you think Wen Mengyan will enter the Ming Palace as a concubine?"
"No, she loves Xie Shuchen so much, she should listen to him and seduce the old emperor to become his favorite concubine."
The original owner of the previous life was the same. Xie Shuchen originally asked her to seduce the old emperor, but she was timid. When she arrived at the palace hall with so many people watching, there was no way she could flirt with the old emperor.
In the end, she had no choice but to obey the arrangement and marry whoever the old emperor pointed to. She was also lucky to have met the ambitious Zhou Mingyan. Everything was automatically delivered to her without her having to deliberately inquire about it.
But Wen Mengyan is different. She is the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Aunt Wan is Prime Minister Wen's true love. So even though Wen Mengyan is also a concubine's daughter, she has been loved since childhood, even surpassing Wen Mengyin, the legitimate daughter.
She is lively, cheerful, bold and enthusiastic, and should be able to do something like flirting with the old emperor.
At this time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister was coaxing his true love.
"Okay, stop crying. It was the emperor who personally ordered Yan'er to marry. You can't let your husband disobey his order, can you?"
“Oh my poor daughter!”
"Master, I'm not blaming you, but I just don't understand why the Emperor suddenly wants Yan'er to marry? There are so many noble ladies in Beichen Kingdom, why does he have to choose the daughter of the Prime Minister to marry? The Prime Minister's Mansion already has no daughter, and I'm so worried about Yan'er!"
It must be the Crown Princess's doing. She knew that the Crown Prince was in love with Yan'er and was afraid that Yan'er would share her favor by entering the Eastern Palace, so she deliberately designed to have her marry. What a vicious mind she had.
In order to make his concubine happy, the prime minister directly promoted his son to the position of Vice Minister of War. Concubine Wan stopped crying instantly and happily went to the main courtyard to show off her power.
But the Prime Minister's wife was so angry that she fell ill in bed.
Wen Mengyin never expected that her father would be so partial. The legitimate son was still serving as a small prefect, while the eldest illegitimate son had already become a fourth-rank official in Beijing. How much did her father want to tell the world that he favored his concubine over his wife!
Wen Mengdie listened to what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion and immediately wrote a letter to Wenxuan who was far away with a smile.
The second brother is narrow-minded. If he knew that his father was so partial to the illegitimate son, he would probably bear a grudge and retaliate.
I'm in a good mood today, so I bought a pig's trotter to take home and eat.
In a small courtyard, the maid saw her come back and hurried forward to take the things in her hand.
"The girl is back."
"Well, is Yi'er crying?"
"No, the young master is very well behaved and just went to bed."
"Miss, I'll go wash the pig's trotters first. Do you want them braised in red or white?"
"Let's make soup."
The little maid happily carried the pig's trotter to the kitchen.
Wen Mengdie went back to the room, removed the disguise on her face, took a shower, and looked at her son who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Gently stroke his face.
Baby, wait a little longer, and I will take you to a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers, and live a peaceful life there, okay?
"The system is paying attention to the movements within the Imperial City."
"Host, rest assured. This system will keep a close eye on the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the cats in those mansions have an affair, they won't be able to escape our eyes."
Wen Mengdie was speechless. There was no need to be so careful.
After sitting on the bed for a while, my son woke up.
I quickly picked him up, changed his diaper, and then gave him some milk.
The child is very cute, with his big eyes smiling at her.
Wen Mengdie's heart also softened unconsciously.
"Oh my, our little Yi'er can even make mom laugh! So cute."
