Returning to Xuanpinghou Mansion, Yu Xijiao first went to tell Yu Ruiwen about Yu Zhuqing. When he heard that the person had gone away, Yu Ruiwen sighed and shook his hand. After raising this eldest daughter for so long, she can now marry Xu Cheng, so she followed
After Xu Cheng left, he felt worthy of his old friend.
"Father, I'm going to see my elder brother." Seeing the mixed emotions on Yu Ruiwen's face, Yu Xijiao stood up.
"Go." Yu Ruiwen nodded, thought for a moment, and when Yu Xijiao was about to step out, he suddenly asked, "How about the daughter of Ming Xiang?"
"Ms. Ming is very nice, father, don't worry." Yu Xijiao knew he was worried about Minglan and smiled.
Yu Ruiwen breathed a sigh of relief. Ming Xiang was a good person, but he didn't know about Ming Xiang's daughter. Fortunately, his younger daughter and Ming Xiang's daughter were familiar with each other.
Now I heard that he is indeed a good character and I am very satisfied.
"You go and see your eldest brother first. Princess Mingqing in the palace just now came to see your second sister. If you are free, you can go and see her later." Yu Ruiwen said casually.
Princess Mingqing? Zhang Wanyin?
Yu Xi suddenly stopped and asked, "What brings Princess Mingqing to the mansion?"
"I heard that your second sister was seriously ill, so I came here to have a look. Mrs. Zhou said that she is a kind person, and she looks very gentle and generous." Yu Ruiwen said.
Originally, he was worried about Princess Mingqing, fearing that she would come to find trouble, but Mrs. Zhou said that she and her second daughter were very speculative. The second daughter specially ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch and put it in the second daughter's yard.
Princess Mingqing's status was unusual. Although she was here to see her second daughter this time, Yu Ruiwen felt that it was a good thing for her younger daughter to befriend her. Originally, he was wary of Princess Mingqing. After all, she would be Princess Duan in the future.
The second daughter was the concubine of Prince Duan, and now she sounded like a pretty nice person, so she asked Yu Xijiao to come over and have a look.
"You can come out of the palace at will?" Yu Xijiao was surprised.
"I heard that I came here to see your second sister with the Queen Mother's permission." Yu Ruiwen said, "You have seen your eldest brother, and he goes over to accompany you even if you don't have anything to do. He is always someone who is close to the Queen Mother. I heard that he is very favored.
, I have been raised by the Queen Mother since I was a child."
"Father, Jiao'er wants to ask about the Marquis of Zhennan." Yu Xijiao retreated instead of advancing and sat down in front of the chair again. Since she was talking about Zhang Wanyin, she asked her father how much he knew about the Marquis of Zhennan.
I vaguely feel that what happened in my previous life is related to the Zhennan Hou Mansion. This layout is very big...
"What does the Marquis of Zhennan have to say?" Yu Ruiwen stretched out his hand, picked up the tea, took a sip and put it down.
"Father, my daughter wants to ask about the old Zhennan Marquis, who is Princess Mingqing's biological father." Yu Xijiao was worried that she had no place to ask. Since her father mentioned it, she could just talk about it.
"How come you, a kid from a family, are asking about things about Nanhou in the old town?" Yu Ruiwen pointed with his hand and scolded with a low smile.
"Father, just tell me, I have seen Princess Mingqing before in the palace, and I always feel that...it seems not simple." Yu Xi said coquettishly.
"Isn't it simple?" Yu Ruiwen asked again, "Why is it not simple?"
The second daughter would have to make a living in front of her from now on, and Yu Ruiwen suddenly felt uneasy.
"I don't know, I just don't think it's easy." Yu Xijiao shook her head.
"You kid, you're talking nonsense, there's nothing simple about it." Yu Ruiwen thought that was what Yu Xijiao said, and he put his mind down again.
But the heart that was put down at the next moment was immediately lifted up again.
"Father, my daughter feels that... the behavior of this princess is very similar to Mrs. Qian." Yu Xijiao thought about it and described it seriously.
Yu Ruiwen's heart skipped a beat. What was Mrs. Qian's impression on people? She was basically generous, decent, fair, and her character was beyond words.
He has thought so for many years.
"Father, please tell your daughter about the Nanhou of Old Town. Why did Princess Mingqing raise her in front of the Queen Mother?" Yu Xijiao said.
"Princess Mingqing's father was the former Marquis of Zhennan, and died among the rebels of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After her father's death, because there were no heirs, the title fell to her uncle." Yu Ruiwen did not shirk this time, thinking
I thought about the words.
"Father, what happened to the old Zhennan Marquis? Why did he die among the Southern Tang rebels?" Yu Xijiao became more and more curious, her eyes widened with watery eyes, and she looked at Yu Ruiwen quietly, urging silently.
He continued.
"I really don't know why the old Zhennan Marquis died in the Southern Tang Dynasty." Yu Ruiwen said with a bitter smile. He was the most useless Xuanping Marquis and couldn't get involved in this kind of thing, but he secretly inquired about it later.
I received some news, "I heard that he accepted the emperor's order at that time."
"Accept the emperor's order and go to the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Yu Xijiao pursed her lips.
"That should be the case." Yu Ruiwen said vaguely, his face darkening, "The previous royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty formed an alliance with our Jin Dynasty."
"How powerful is the Nanhou of Old Town?" Yu Xijiao thought for a moment and asked, "You went to the Southern Tang Dynasty without taking many people with you. Are you more powerful than other generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
In fact, the title of Marquis of Zhennan is just a title. Their martial arts may not be very good in their generation. It can even be said that they have abandoned martial arts and embraced literature. However, the emperor abandoned other generals and only sent one Marquis of Zhennan, which is quite suspicious.
Already.
"I don't know the specifics. I only heard that he went to the Southern Tang Dynasty and wanted to protect the legitimate branches of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was ordered by the emperor, but he died there in the end. In the next few years, Mrs. Zhennan Hou also
After her death, the Queen Mother adopted the young girl and named her the Princess of Mingqing. After that, she was raised in the palace for several years and then sent back."
Yu Ruiwen said.
"Father, is Old Zhennanhou really sent by the emperor?" Yu Xijiao doubted.
Yu Ruiwen shook his head: "I don't know, some people say that, but some people say that he just entered the Southern Tang Dynasty by mistake, and some people say that his identity was unknown when he died. He doesn't know where he died or what he was doing.
, it’s quite sad to be left with a girl alone.”
The Marquis of Zhennan changed hands, and the daughter he left behind may not have a good life. If the palace had not taken her away, she might not even have lived until the end of the year.
"Father, if the Marquis of Zhennan is really sent by the emperor, will the emperor reward him first?" Yu Xijiao tilted her head slightly, looking more and more curious.
"Award the reward first?" Yu Ruiwen didn't understand for a moment.
"Just give some large banknotes as a reward first, and then send the person out?" Yu Xijiao said more carefully.
"A large banknote? If it is really given by the emperor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should have records." Yu Ruiwen thought for a while and said, although he is not a director, he still has a position, and sometimes goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although he does not
Some routines are very clear on how to help with things.
"Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Yu Xijiao's heart moved.
Yu Ruiwen looked at Yu Xijiao and said, "Jiaoer, what are you suspecting?"
"Father, I don't suspect anything. I just feel curious about Princess Mingqing. In the future, the second sister will enter Prince Duan's Mansion. She is the future Prince Duan's Mansion. She will deal with our mansion even if she doesn't know it. Just like this time, she came here specially.
, and the Empress Dowager agreed, others will only think that the people in Mingqing County treat everyone well."
Yu Xijiao smiled.
Yu Ruiwen nodded: "People from the royal family should be more careful."
"That's what father said." Yu Xijiao stood up, "I'll go see my elder brother first."
Having said this today, it won't be too abrupt if I mention it next time. Even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has records, I'm afraid it's hard to find the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs more than ten years ago.
She suspected that Zhang Wanyin was the person behind the scenes that Ninth Grandma said. Many signs showed that Zhang Wanyin and the person behind the scenes overlapped, but she didn't know what Zhang Wanyin wanted.
There were some small details that she couldn't figure out.
However, the most likely one is Zhang Wanyin, the jade pendant in Zhang Wanyin's hand, and she is also asking if she has a jade pendant...
When Yu Xianyi heard that Yu Xijiao was coming, he hurriedly invited her in.
Yu Xianyi was not well and was still half leaning on the couch. When he saw Yu Xijiao coming in, he put down the book in his hand and asked Yu Xijiao to sit down.
The boy brought tea.
"Did Zhu Qing leave?" Yu Xianyi asked as soon as he sat down.
"Already left." Yu Xijiao smiled and asked uneasily, "Brother, didn't we talk about peace talks? Is the border still so dangerous?"
"Basically nothing major happens now. The two families are in peace talks." Yu Xianyi smiled.
"Since it's a peace talk, why would something happen to my eldest brother?" Yu Xijiao asked, frowning.
Seeing her delicate little face slightly wrinkled and looking troubled, Yu Xian was happy and said, "It's okay. Maybe it was just targeting me alone, not because of the war."
"Against eldest brother alone?" Something flashed through Yu Xijiao's mind, but she didn't catch it, so she asked subconsciously.
"It's just a guess. If the assassin is not caught, no one will know." Yu Ruiwen stretched out his hand and pressed her head, "Okay, don't think about it too much. It's all over. It doesn't matter."
"Brother... don't you care?" Yu Xijiao hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously.
"Do you care if I'm useless?" Yu Xianyi understood her words and burst out laughing, "How come a kid cares about so many things and doesn't care whether he grows taller or not?"
In fact, Yu Xijiao has grown very fast during this period, and has grown much taller than when she returned to Beijing. Her stature is no different than that of the daughters of the aristocratic families in Beijing.
"Brother, have you never thought about who would assassinate you?" Yu Xijiao bit her lip and said, this brother didn't feel good before, he was indifferent to her, and even gave her gifts. He was really indifferent to her.
It was only when we met that I realized that my previous feeling was not right, and what my grandmother said was true.
Big brother is really good to me.
The identity of brother and sister disappeared immediately after the first two days of life, and now they are just like real brothers and sisters who grew up together.
"Grandma is investigating this matter." Yu Xianyi said vaguely, not intending to elaborate on this little sister.
"Brother, did you know that the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan came to our house to visit our second sister today?" Yu Xijiao rolled her eyes and said suddenly.
"The daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan?" Yu Xianyi didn't remember who it was for a moment.
"She is the daughter of the old Zhen Nanhou, the current Princess Mingqing, who is raised in front of the Queen Mother, and will marry Prince Duan in the future." Yu Xijiao added a lot of explanations for fear that Yu Xianyi might not understand.
"The daughter of the old Zhennan Marquis, the future Princess Duan?" Yu Xianyi understood now and seemed to have thought of something. The smile on his face gradually faded and he asked.
