Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 54
What an unexpected person.

Ying Baoyue stood quietly facing the courtyard gate.

In the silent summer night, the woman's voice seemed to blend into it, just like she could blend into any environment.

Shun can be the wife of a king and marquis, and Ni can make soup with rough clothes and disheveled hair and hands.

Ying Baoyue quietly turned her head and looked at the woman standing in the corridor.

"lady."

The moonlight peeked out from the dark clouds, illuminating the figure standing in the shadow of the eaves.

Wearing a shawl made of coarse cloth, she stood quietly behind Ying Baoyue and watched the girl who was about to leave alone at the gate of the courtyard.

Mu's eyes are soft, as gentle as when Ying Bao met at the beginning of the month, she looks like an ordinary woman.

But it was such a woman who showed a different aura for the first time in the silent night.

Ying Baoyue's familiar yet unfamiliar breath.

Under the moon, the two women just looked at each other quietly.

"Where are you going?" Mu asked.

"Look where I should go." Ying Baoyue smiled at Mu Shi, "I'm afraid something will happen tonight, ma'am, remember to close the gate of the courtyard."

"That's it," Mu Shi was startled but showed a clear but resolute expression, "I see."

Ying Baoyue watched her quietly.

Probably Guichen and Guili will never know that their mother is not as incompetent and weak as they imagined.

Mrs. Mu looked at his son's bedroom with a sad expression, "You...will you come back?"

Ying Baoyue froze for a moment, then lowered her head with a slight smile and said softly, "I also...don't know."

Whether she can find out the reason why she was framed in her previous life, and which path she will choose is unknown until she finds out.

It's just... Looking at the obviously not so simple woman in front of her, Ying Baoyue pursed her lips tightly.

Although I don't know how much she has noticed, but Mu's instinct is different from Gui Li's instinct, this woman should be aware of more things.

After all, she is the daughter of the Mu family.

But as long as you feel it, you can know that she is a trouble, and she still asks...

"I know that your background may be extraordinary, and I also know that you may have other plans," Mrs. Mu looked at the girl under the moonlight and smiled, "but I also have my own eyes for seeing people."

This extraordinary does not mean that the body must be noble, the Mu family never judges people by this.

"I just wanted to tell you."

The first daughter of the Mu family looked at the girl in the yard seriously and spoke solemnly.

"This will always be your home."

Ying Baoyue was startled, looking at the noble woman in rough clothes under the eaves, a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you."

She saluted him.

"I remember."

"Well," Mu Shi also smiled at her, "Everyone has their own secrets, I wish you good luck."

"Thank you, I'm leaving," Ying Baoyue said goodbye to him, then turned and pushed open the courtyard door.

Watching the back of the girl leaving, Mu sighed slightly and was about to turn around, but at this moment the girl's footsteps of pushing the door stopped suddenly.

"Ma'am," Ying Baoyue said with her back turned to her, "some things, if you can't bear it, you don't need to bear it anymore."

Mu's whole body trembled, his feet stood on the ground as if they had taken root, and he stared at the girl's back.

"you……"

"I admire your Gao Jie, you have done a good job so far," Ying Baoyue said, "You have raised a pair of very good children."

"Really?" Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can such a failed and cowardly mother like me be called Gao Jie?"

In the eyes of the world, she is nothing more than a loser in the backyard battle.

Or a loser who takes care of his children.

"You just can't be strong," Ying Baoyue stared at the back of her hand on the courtyard gate.

As the saying goes, a mother is strong, but in adversity, if the mother is too strong, the child will not be strong.

In addition to putting her child in the palm of her hand and pampering her, there is another way to love her child. Ying Baoyue has seen such a parent-child relationship with her own eyes.

From the moment they were rejected by their biological father, the road ahead for Gui Chen and Gui Li as the sons of the family became extremely difficult and dangerous, and Mu's choice was not to protect them for a while, but to pull himself away and force the children into cruelty. environment.

The result is that Guichen and Guili have a stronger ability to survive than their peers.

This was cruel to Guichen Guili, but it was also cruel to this woman.

because……

"In your capacity, you can actually choose another path, can't you?" Ying Baoyue turned her back to the woman, calling out the woman's real title for the first time in her heart.

"Princess Pingyang."

Mu Shi didn't hear the call, but he still kept his eyes wide open for the woman's implication.

"It seems that you heard it from Chen'er? Why does this kid tell you everything?"

What Guichen told her was that her mother refused to help her father's official career and was rejected, and did not mention Mu's identity.

Maybe even Guichen himself doesn't know exactly how noble his mother's background is.

The villagers only regarded her as an ordinary village woman who had been kicked out.

But this village woman is not only the daughter of the No. 1 general of the Great Qin Dynasty, but also the princess who was conferred by the Emperor Taizu at that time.

Ying Baoyue's eyes were dim.

That's right, Mrs. Mu is actually a princess.

In that year, the chariot general Jin Cheng's family perished, and the people in the court were fluctuating, and the generals were all in danger. Emperor Taizu had no choice but to start canonizing the families of the remaining generals.

In order to appease the veterans, the 15-year-old Miss Mu San, the youngest daughter of General Mu, was named the Princess of Pingyang in the name of a model of De Rongyan's meritorious service.

Princess Pingyang, Murongyin.

It was the real body of the deeply hidden woman behind her.

The reason why Ying Baoyue remembered this incident was because there was also a young girl who was canonized at the same time as Mu Rongyin, the princess of Pingyang.

At the age of 13, he single-handedly reversed the No. 40 eight battles between Daqin and Xirong, and the commander-in-chief of the Zhaoyang War, Lin Shubai's apprentice, Lin Baoyue.

She won the first title in her life under the letter of the ministers.

The title comes from the name of that battle, the title "Zhaoyang".

This is the title she was widely known before Shao Si Ming.

Princess Zhaoyang.

……

……

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the two princesses who were canonized at the same time would meet in such a way many years later.

Ying Baoyue didn't expect it either.

The Princess of Pingyang back then was nothing more than a name to her, the fate of the Mu clan had been finalized, and the legend of the thousand-year-old family came to an abrupt end, but after she was reborn, she met the descendants of this family.

"I never won the favor of the fathers of those two children, and the girl laughed at me for being reduced to this point." Mu shi calmed down and said, looking at Ying Baoyue's back.

It's not that she can't get it, but that she didn't choose to do it.Ying Baoyue said heartily.

Gui Chen always thought that his father's temperament changed drastically because of a change of heart and being bewitched by Chu Ji, but she thought it was not that simple.

From Guichen Guili, Ying Baoyue learned that after Chu Ji entered the mansion, Guichang's status in front of His Majesty has risen day by day for some reason, and he has become Ying Hanri's favorite.

Thinking of the unfathomable old woman in Chu Ji's body, Ying Baoyue narrowed her eyes.

Was Guichang doting on his concubine and destroying his wife because of Chu Ji's beauty?

Don't be silly, marriages between aristocratic families are not that simple.

Da Sima Guichang did not change his mind.

It's just that he probably has something more important in his heart.

……

……

The blood moon rose higher and higher in the sky, and when Ying Baoyue was talking to Mu Shi, a luxurious carriage was speeding towards Sima Mansion.

The guard on horseback beside the carriage spoke to a man inside the carriage.

"Master, we'll be arriving soon. Mrs. Steward Li has prepared your favorite dishes for you."

"She has a heart," a middle-aged man's voice came from the carriage, full of admiration.

"Chu'er's advice this time has also played a big role. Your Majesty has indeed bestowed such a favor on Longyan Dayue. I must thank her when I go back. Are the gifts ready?"

"It's all ready." The guard's confidant replied with trepidation.

The man nodded in satisfaction, and the carriage continued to speed.

Moonlight shone on his face through the window frame.

Difficult to distinguish bright and dark.
