The emperor and the clan will not allow the royal blood to flow among the people. The emperor's will is for the girl to go to Beijing, have a blood test with other children of King Qin, and then recognize her ancestor and return to the clan.

Of course, this premise is that the girl is indeed the child of King Qin.

If not, the consequences would be disastrous.

Mrs. Zhou kowtowed to Shangguan Ruoli and said, "A commoner's wife would like to pay my respects to Princess Xuan."

The girl also kowtowed and said: "The daughter of the people pays her respects to Princess Xuan."

Shangguan Ruoli raised his head slightly and said, "Get up, you didn't go to the capital?"

The girl said: "People's girls don't want to go to the capital, and people's girls don't want to be relatives of the emperor. People's girls just want to stay here and live the lives of ordinary people."

Shangguan Ruoli looked at Mrs. Zhou with a cold expression and thought, could it be that this woman wants to use the girl's identity to gain some benefits for herself?

In other words, the girl is not the daughter of King Qin at all. The child died long ago. The girl is the child that Mrs. Zhou found for revenge.

Mrs. Zhou seemed to have guessed what Shangguan Ruoli was thinking, and kowtowed hurriedly: "Princess, the common woman also wants the girl to recognize her ancestor and return to the clan, so she can follow her to the capital. Anyway, the common woman is already a lonely old woman, and it is the same everywhere.

But this girl just doesn’t want to go.”

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the girl and said softly: "When you go to the capital, you can live with Mrs. Zhou. With the status of a royal family and the protection of the clan, although you are not rich and powerful, having enough food and clothing is not a problem.

of."

The girl's big eyes were full of tears, but she bit her lower lip and stubbornly refused to let the tears fall. She shook her head and said: "If a common girl wants to be a commoner and not a royal family, they will bully the girl and it will hurt her breasts!"

As a seven-year-old child, she couldn't make any big sense, but her own life experience made her very repulsive to wealthy families.

Shangguan Ruoli thought for a moment and said, "You guys go back first. I will ask the prince to consult with the emperor and the clan before we speak. The royal bloodline is a major matter, and it is not something that King Xuan and I can decide."

In fact, Shangguan Ruoli also had another consideration in making this decision.

The emperor asked the girl to take a blood test before letting her recognize her ancestors. Shangguan Ruoli knew that the blood test was inaccurate. Bai Qingqing's whereabouts are unknown now and there is no way to test DNA. If something goes wrong, wouldn't the girl be more vulnerable?

Unjustly accused.

Moreover, it was King Xuan who discovered this matter. If the girl's blood test goes wrong, anyone with an intention will definitely think that King Xuan has done something wrong in this case.

"Thank you, Princess!" The girl kowtowed and looked up at Shangguan Ruoli, "Then can Nai and I leave here?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "That's not possible for the time being. Tomorrow you will go to the girls' school with the girls. You will read and read with the nanny and learn female red embroidery. Mrs. Zhou will stay and continue to take care of you."

The girl's eyes lit up and she kowtowed: "Thank you so much, Princess!"

She didn't care about reading and literacy. What excited her was Nvhong embroidery. After she learned Nvhong embroidery, she could do some embroidery work to sell, or she could go to an embroidery workshop to work as an embroiderer, so that she could support herself and her mother.

Shangguan Ruoli waved his hand, "You go ahead. If you need anything, you can tell Sassoon or Butler Zuo."

It's better if Bai Qingqing can find her. If she can't find her, she will send the girl to the capital. It's not that she can't support two people, but it's a trouble.

Not to mention anything else, all the five members of the Sun family died at the hands of Prince Xuan's Palace. The death of King Qin was also inseparable from Prince Xuan's Palace. Sooner or later, Concubine Sun would also die at the hands of Prince Xuan's Palace.

The girl is young now and doesn't care about this. But when she grows up, it won't necessarily matter. After all, they are blood relatives, and their bones are broken and their tendons are connected.

Shangguan Ruoli doesn't want to raise a white-eyed wolf, she is not a holy mother. Besides, the girl should be raised by the clan, so what's the point of following her as an uncle?

After returning to the room, Shangguan Ruoli said to Sha Xuan: "Take the time to enlighten Mrs. Zhou and lead the girl to the right path. I am grateful. The Sun family and Sun's concubine raised private soldiers and wanted to rebel. They deserved their punishment. It has nothing to do with King Xuan and me.

"

Sassoon immediately turned serious and said, "Yes!"

He took out a small box from the cabinet and said, "Princess, this is the account book of the seafood factory and the seafood transportation team. Take a look."

Saying that, he opened the box.

Shangguan Ruoli reached out and picked up a ledger and started to look through it. Sassoon poured her a cup of hot tea and went to the kitchen to get her some snacks.

When he met Zhang Shanxing in the kitchen, Sassoon glanced at her and said to the cook: "Are the snacks I asked you to prepare for the princess ready?"

"It's done! It's done!" The cook hurriedly took out a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and a plate of jujube cake from the special basket for the masters, and also took out a plate of crab roe cakes and a plate of walnut cakes from the oven.

The plate is not big, and the pastries are also very delicate. They are small and beautiful and can be eaten one bite at a time.

Sassoon put the snacks in the food box, closed the lid of the food box, and carried it out of the kitchen.

Zhang Shanxing followed from behind, "Miss Sassoon!"

Sassoon turned his head slightly, raising his chin habitually, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Shanxing's face turned slightly red and he stammered: "You, um, can you be my sister-in-law?"

Sassoon frowned and said in confusion: "What sister-in-law? Who is your eldest brother?"

Zhang Shanxing said: "My eldest brother is the steward Zuo!"

Sassoon suddenly realized that she knew that Zhang Shanxing was Zuo Ivy's eldest brother. She just subconsciously thought that Zhang Shanxing was talking about her natal brother.

Huh? Only then did Sassoon remember what Zhang Shanxing said and glared: "You want me to marry that old man Zuo Ivy?!"

Zhang Shanxing felt a little guilty, but still defended: "Brother, why is he an old man? He is only in his early thirties! Besides, you are already close to each other, do you still want to marry someone else? Anyway, sooner or later, you will marry the eldest brother.

It’s better to get married early.”

Sassoon said angrily: "The old cow wants to eat young grass, but he wants to be beautiful!"

She felt that this must be what Zuo Guanjia meant, otherwise Zhang Shanxing would not dare to tell her this with his courage.

Zhang Shanxing saw that Sassoon had misunderstood Butler Zuo and hurriedly said: "This is not what the eldest brother meant. The eldest brother does not want to get married in this life. He has been hurt emotionally."

"What?" Sassoon frowned, suddenly feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

She didn't want to marry Zuo Ivy because he was old and because she looked down on her, but this Zuo Ivy touched her body and lips and didn't want to take responsibility?

This was somewhat unacceptable to her.

Is she so bad? That he doesn't even want to marry her in this situation?

Zhang Shanxing pursed his lips, pulled Sassoon to a deserted corner, and whispered: "Brother, he is also a man of unparalleled talent and learning. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen, won the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, and was dismissed by the county magistrate.

The Lord fell in love with her and made a marriage contract with the county magistrate's daughter. The young lady was beautiful and gentle in temperament. The elder brother fell in love with her as soon as he met her. The two of them also gave each other tokens and made a lifelong promise. But, later..."
