In the golden autumn of October, the fragrant osmanthus blossoms. In this fruitful season, Li Yuan also put on the attire of a groom and rode through the streets to welcome his own happiness.

Li Yuan's wedding was very grand. Li Yuan lived in a first-class official position and was the legitimate son of the eldest princess. Now the emperor granted him the marriage and they were happily married. There was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him.

When visiting the church, Tuoba Hong took Shi Miao and their children to watch the ceremony. Li Yuan always dressed very elegantly on weekdays. Today, he was getting married. He was wearing a bright red wedding dress, which made him look even more handsome.

When Shi Miao saw Li Yuan for the first time, his eyes lit up. Seeing the amazement in Shi Miao's eyes, Tuoba Hong got jealous and whispered in Shi Miao's ear: "Miaomiao, does Zhi Heng look good?"

"Good-looking, much prettier than you." Shi Miao deliberately praised Li Yuan.

As Shi Miao expected, Tuoba Hong suddenly turned serious and whispered aggrievedly: "Miaomiao, will I be unhappy if you do this?"

While Tuoba Hong was talking, he peeked at Shi Miao. Shi Miao laughed and quietly took Tuoba Hong's hand and shook it: "But I still like you the most."

When Tuoba Hong heard this, his stern face immediately softened, and the corners of his lips raised: "Oh, someone just likes to say nice things to coax me. It's really perfunctory."

"Then tell me, have you been coaxed?" Shi Miao asked arrogantly.

Tuoba Hong smiled and nodded.

Li Yuan also saw Shi Miao and Tuoba Hong, and then turned to look at the people around him. They will definitely be as happy as His Majesty and the Queen in the future.

In the blink of an eye, 16 years have passed, and Tuoba Chen is already 16 years old. He was taught how to read and write by his Taifu, and Tuoba Hong taught him the emperor's skills step by step.

In more than ten years, Tuoba Chen has grown to the point where he can stand alone. Nowadays, most of the government affairs between the DPRK and China have been handed over to Tuoba Chen.

Tuoba Hong and Shi Miao lived a happy life together.

But the good times did not last long. In Tuoba Chen's year, Tuoba Hong fell ill. Because he was not loved as a child, Tuoba Hong suffered from serious physical deficit.

This illness was unbearable. Before Tuoba Hong died, he passed the throne to Tuoba Chen and closed his eyes in the company of Shi Miao and Tuoba Chen.

The new emperor ascended the throne. As the new emperor's direct mother, Shi Miao was honored as the Queen Mother and took charge of Cining Palace.

Without Tuoba Hong's company, Shi Miao felt empty in her heart, and the smile on her face was much less, and she basically never left Cining Palace.

Three years later, when the mourning period expired, Shi Miao gradually began to appear in the public eye.

Tuoba Chen was established as the crown prince since he was born. He began to go to court with Tuoba Hong at the age of seven. After he ascended the throne, he was assisted by Li Yuan. In three years, Tuoba Chen had completely controlled the entire court.

When Tuoba Chen got his crown last year, Shi Miao began to appear in front of people. She also wanted to see the queen for Tuoba Chen. With the queen by her side, Shi Miao could leave with peace of mind.

Shi Miao held several banquets and invited unmarried aristocratic women. After several visits, nothing seemed to suit his liking.

When Shi Miao was worried, Su Bei, the general of the country, returned to Beijing with his family to report on his work. On the way back to Beijing, he met Shi Miao who was offering incense at Wangshan Temple.

Shi Miao didn't want to attract too much attention, so he dressed casually for this trip. It was March at Wangshan Temple, and peach blossoms were in full bloom all over the mountain. The whole temple seemed to be enveloped by peach blossoms.

Many wealthy people come here to visit. Shi Miao also heard that the scenery here is good, so he came here to visit.

Unexpectedly, in broad daylight, he would encounter bandits who dared to enter the temple and rob him. Because Shi Miao was traveling in casual clothes, he only brought two maids and two servant-like guards with him.

When the bandits first appeared, Shi Miao ordered a guard to return to the capital to seek help, while he tried his best to maneuver around the temple.

General Su and his family happened to be passing by Wangshan Temple and were resting here. When they heard that bandits were causing trouble, General Su rushed over with his son and daughter.

General Su is surrounded by a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Su Zhouning, wields a red tassel gun and dances like a tiger, making the enemy frightened.

The youngest daughter Su Mingyu, although born as a girl, has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and has a nine-section whip that never leaves her body.

When the three of them rushed up the mountain, the bandits were gathering the people in the temple in the courtyard, intending to use them as hostages and demand ransom from their families.

Shi Miao also pretended to be an ordinary person and mingled with his maids and servants, waiting for help from the capital.

The bandit ordered everyone to take out their money and valuable jewelry, and Shi Miao also cooperated very well.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in front of Shi Miao, a bandit suddenly became lustful and wanted to offend Shi Miao, but was killed by the guard directly with his sword.

This time the bandits were furious and wanted to kill Shi Miao.The guard was also seriously injured while protecting Shi Miao. At the critical moment, General Su rushed over.

General Su led his pair of sons and daughters and launched a direct attack on the bandits, causing chaos in the temple. Although the bandits were a ragtag group, they were better in numbers.

For a moment, the three of them were in a stalemate with General Su. Shi Miao asked the two maids to support the injured guard, while he opened his mouth to ask for medicine when Su Mingyu came over.

"Girl, I wonder if you have any gold sore medicine on your body. I want to ask you for some first to save the lives of my guards."

Su Mingyu saw what happened just now and knew that the guard was seriously injured to protect Shi Miao, but she didn't expect that Shi Miao would ask for help just to save the life of a guard.

Because Shi Miao was dressed like a wife from a wealthy family. In Su Mingyu's impression, this kind of people generally regarded their subordinates as ants, but Shi Miao was unexpectedly different.

This made Su Mingyu very fond of Shi Miao. She came to Shi Miao specifically, blocked the bandits who wanted to attack Shi Miao, and handed the gold medicine on her body to Shi Miao.

"Here, this is the best medicine I have. Take it and use it. Move aside to avoid hurting you by accident."

"Thank you girl."

After taking the medicine, Shi Miao bowed and thanked Su Mingyu, then quickly took the medicine to the injured guard and asked the maid to apply it to him.

Yun Shi and others around Shi Miao were released from the palace by Shi Miao when they reached their age. Shi Miao gave everyone generous rewards.

Not long after these two maids came to Shi Miao's side, one was named Kong Yu and the other was named Kong Qing. They were both young and frightened, so they relied on Shi Miao to comfort them.

The two guards who followed Shi Miao out of the palace were assigned to them by Tuoba Chen because he was worried about Shi Miao when he left the palace.

But Shi Miao was worried that Tuoba Chen had no one around him, so he rejected the two elites of the Imperial Guard that Tuoba Chen had chosen, and picked two ordinary guards by himself.

The one who went to report the news was named Li Fang, and the one who stayed to protect Shi Miao was named Chen Jing.

At that time, Tuoba Chen thought that Wangshan Temple was very close to the capital and nothing would happen, so he left Shi Miao alone.
