"It's not a big deal. Do you still remember what your parents told you about the noble people back then? That was the grandmother of Wang Dingbei, who has a different surname. She is now the old concubine of the Prince of Dingbei County. King Dingbei inherited his father's title.

King Ding of the North has made great contributions to the Northern Territory by pacifying the Qi Dynasty. Today, he made an exception and granted a king with a different surname. He was promoted to the same title and beheaded after five generations. The first King of the North died a few years ago due to an old illness. His wife had a deep relationship with him and soon followed him.

Gone, and now King Dingbei is his eldest son, still stationed in Northern Xinjiang. Prince Dingbei first had no children, only one son and one daughter. King Dingbei was only in his early twenties, but he had already married, and his wife followed him in Northern Xinjiang.

, and this girl is only fourteen years old now, and she has been granted the title of Princess Changning as an exception. According to the old concubine's wishes, if Princess Changning is one or two years older, she will marry her to your fourth brother.

Nowadays, the huge Dingbei Prince's Palace only consists of two people, the grandfather and the grandson. I probably feel guilty now. The Dingbei Prince's Palace is constantly favoring me, and I get a lot of rewards every new year. Princes of the royal family rarely have this honor.

Many people are eyeing Princess Changning. I don’t know how much benefit this girl will get from marrying her home, but I estimate that she has the greatest chance of marrying into the royal family in the end."

Xiaocao was not in the mood to listen to this at the moment, but since her mother had said it, it must not be useless. She tried her best to listen calmly. She had no other thoughts for the time being, so she just felt that this old concubine was so pitiful.

.

In fact, Mrs. Han also wanted to distract her daughter's attention, so she said so much. Seeing that she was much calmer now, she breathed out softly and continued, "Our family has always been in contact with the Prince of Dingbei County. Although the old concubine

It is not suitable for the princess to come to our house, but the New Year's Day celebrations have never been interrupted. There are large and small banquets at the Dingbei County Prince's Palace. In ten times, our family will attend seven or eight times. Today, I also sent a generous gift. Come over in two weeks.

Riniang took you to see the old concubine. If it hadn't been for her, it's unclear whether my mother, your fourth brother, or even your eldest sister would have survived."

Xiaocao nodded, "It should be."

"Maybe we can ask the old lady to help."

Xiaocao was startled, and then said: "Mom, I will find a way to repay the favor you owe me in the future."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Han hugged her and touched her head. "To say that the old concubine is also a woman who cannot be compared with other women. It is said that when she was young, she accompanied her husband on the battlefield and even saved her husband.

, he is quite capable in riding and shooting, but he is also a poor man. He lost his father and his mother when he was young, lost his husband in middle age, and lost his son in his old age. Most of all, because he was injured, he only had one son, and his only grandson is still in danger.

In this place, I am always on tenterhooks and cannot stop." Han sighed sincerely.

So this old concubine is more pitiful than expected.

"According to the holy favor of Dingbei County Prince's Palace, it shouldn't be difficult to let King Dingbei return to the imperial city, right?"

The single word "Qi Chao" means "respect", so the title of the prince is single word, and the title of the county prince is double word. However, it is usually called a certain king or a certain king to show respect. Ordinary people can understand it at a glance. It's just that the plaque of the prince's palace,

Whether it is the prince's palace or the county prince's palace is clearly written.

"It is indeed not a difficult task. However, the old concubine said that guarding Northern Xinjiang is the mission of the Mu family men. It is said that the ancestors of the Mu family were once a powerful family in Northern Xinjiang. However, a few decades ago, foreigners invaded the Qi Dynasty and the Mu family was

After killing the whole clan, only a few bloodlines will be left."

There is a blood feud, so it’s no wonder. “The old concubine is an amazing woman.”

"Who says it isn't? But, Xuan'er, have you ever thought that the matter may have nothing to do with Crown Prince Wei."

"It doesn't matter, you'll know once you confirm it. If it's not him, it will always be someone else. No one would give such a big gift for no reason." Xiaocao lowered his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because of overthinking or intuition. Xiaocao always said

I feel that this Crown Prince Wei is related to Ting Yu. Anyway, let’s meet him first.

At this moment, Wenren Taibo opened the curtain and came in, smiling: "What are you two talking about in private, mother and daughter?"

Han stood up and said, "Are you done?"

Wenren Taibo responded, his eyes fell on Xiaocao, and he saw something was wrong with her expression, "What's wrong with Xuan'er?"

"Dad, I'm fine. Mom, please talk to Dad in detail. I'm going back to the room." He squatted down and was about to leave. He paused again and took the brocade box on the table. "Mom, give me this.

Keep it."

"Okay, you can take it." Han didn't bat an eyelid at such a valuable thing and let Xiaocao take it, which shows that in this mother's heart, foreign things are not as important as her own child.

Wenren Taibo was confused. After hearing Han's explanation, he was shocked at first, and then he couldn't help but frown. This matter was indeed a bit tricky, and he had more thoughts. For example, what would happen to that priceless bracelet?

Could it be something of unknown origin, placed in the Wen Renjia by chance just to temporarily divert the enemy's attention? Or, could someone want to use this thing to frame them and the Wen Renjia? All these things, it should be said that it is a mixed bag.

In officialdom, there are always unconscious conspiracy theories.

Seeing his solemn expression, Mrs. Han couldn't help but ask. When she learned her husband's thoughts, she was shocked, "No way?"

"Who can be sure about this kind of thing?"

"It's still reluctant to let our family go temporarily. Who would be so generous as to frame our family?"

"My dear lady, the ultimate target may not be us, and the purpose of the frame-up may not be the real frame-up. Some time ago, another war broke out in northern Xinjiang, and King Dingbei made great achievements again. The people in the palace of Dingbei County are not happy, but the holy favor is too heavy.

The old concubine is simply a clear and decisive person. Given that Prince Dingbei only married the daughter of an ordinary military commander's family, not a noble daughter of a high-ranking family, none of Princess Dingbei's mother-in-law's family is in the imperial city, so she just left her alone.

Chukong Mansion, looking at the entire Kaiping Imperial City, Dingbei County Prince's Mansion has the best relationship with our family."

Mr. Han was frightened when he heard this, "So, maybe the matter is directed at Dingbei County Prince's Mansion?" I had just mentioned Dingbei County Prince's Mansion to my daughter before, and now the trouble might fall on him. Is she a crow's mouth?

"In other words, it is for Princess Changning. To a certain extent, King Dingbei is a lonely minister. In order for the royal family to better win over him, it is almost certain that Princess Changning will marry into the royal family, but to whom she will marry?

But it’s hard to say. He framed her, showed her kindness, and then asked Princess Changning to marry her."

"If this is the case, the people behind this must be too aware of our family. Even if Princess Changning marries into the royal family, this candidate must be approved by the old concubine. Why should the old concubine trade the future happiness of her only granddaughter?
