Since Xiao Lige was born, the family began to change the names of the masters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The North Shore Kite is called the Kite Lady. The North Shore Dragon was renamed Uncle Long, but he was too young, so everyone still called him Young Master Long, and Lige was called Miss.

The next morning, Young Master Long went to learn his homework with Mr. Park as usual, and Mrs. Zheng asked Mama Lu to buy a lot of dishes, and made a large table of good dishes in the evening. When the North Shore Dragon came home, his face was red, and Mama Lu knew that he was hungry every day when he arrived at this point, so he ran home, and couldn't help but nag a few words, "Didn't you let Bei Yan bring you snacks? Why are you still hungry? It's no joke to sweat on a cold day." The North Shore Dragon said nonchalantly, "Just go home and change your clothes." Then he asked curiously, "Sister, why are there so many delicious dishes today?"

Kitashore Zheng smiled and said, "Sister will tell you a story tonight." ”

North Shore Dragon's eyes lit up, his sister knew a lot of things that he didn't know, and when he first came to his sister's side, he wasn't very familiar with his sister before, so he didn't dare to ask more. Later, he evaded pursuit along the way, and there was no time to ask. Recently, he did think about asking his sister something about his parents and his sister's parents. didn't expect that he hadn't had time to put it into action, and his sister had already taken the initiative to tell the story. Long Ye secretly made up his mind that he must ask about his parents.

After dinner, the two returned to the east room, played with Xiao Lige for a while, and when she fell asleep, they went to the west room together, and the north shore Zheng asked the north shore dragon, "Do you remember your father and mother?"

Kitashore Ryu was sent to Madame Zheng when he was two years old, and he himself couldn't remember what his parents looked like, and he shook his head dumbfoundedly, "What do they look like?"

From a pile of things that had already been prepared, Bei'an Zheng took out a painting and unfolded it to Bei'an Long, "I know that you are young and can't remember, and my sister has never seen your father, but I have a relationship with your mother, and then I painted her appearance."

The painting depicts a woman, who is dressed in an extremely ordinary way and looks ordinary, but her expression is focused and gentle, and she is holding a child in her arms.

Kitashore Kite pointed to the child on the painting and told Kitanlong to say, "This is you, you were young at the time, and your mother came to me with you in her arms." ”

The North Shore Dragon looked at his mother's focus and gentleness, as if he saw her eyes again, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Is she gone?"

Bei'an Zheng nodded, "You also have a husband now, and you have started to read the book of saints, and you will be six years old in a few months." My sister should also tell you everything about you. Your name is North Shore Dragon, and you have my last name. My mother's surname is North Shore, and I also follow my mother's surname North Shore. My father and your father are uncles and nephews, and your grandfather and my father are brothers. ”

It was the first time that Bei'an Ryu had heard his sister mention these things, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Bei'an Zheng no longer concealed it, "If you want to talk about our family's affairs, you still have to start with the previous dynasty, haven't you recently followed Mr. Park to hear a lot of stories about the previous dynasty? ”

The North Shore Dragon nodded. "Actually, Mr. Park is right, the Zhuluo Emperor's vitality has long been exhausted, and the reason why it can still exist in the next few decades is not only because the forty-seventh generation of Zhuluo is not mediocre, but also because the side branches of the royal family, and the most important thing is that the four ancient families and the four emerging families also control the lifeblood of the normal operation of the entire empire at the same time on the Zhuluo Continent." It can be said that these eight families supported the entire dynasty at the same time. However, as the power of the imperial family to control the entire empire gradually weakened, these eight families became the overlords of each side, and began to rebel against the imperial dynasty of Middle-earth. Let me start with these eight families.

The four ancient families have the bloodline inheritance of the gods during the Great Wilderness period in the legend, and their ancestors are all powerful generals and founding heroes who followed Zhuluo to conquer this country. At the beginning, Zhuluo was divided to the border of the four directions, and promised that as long as they did not betray the royal Zhuluo clan, the descendants of the royal family would never be able to use force against their descendants.

In addition to entering Beijing once every ten years to report on their work, the descendants of the imperial family do not have the right to summon them into Beijing, and they are allowed to bring their own personal guards to Beijing, most of these guards are strong in martial arts, and each has its own specialty, their ability is only their master knows best, and with their ability, no matter where, under what circumstances, to defend a master is more than outstanding.

Over time, the four ancient border families have become four veritable kingdoms, and although the control of the imperial family over them is not absolute, their existence is indeed very effective in guarding this continent.

More than a thousand years have passed, and these stories have become legends, and only the descendants of these five families will know whether they are true or false. But judging from the current situation, although these four families are growing in power on the frontier and their reputation is greater than that of the royal family in the local area, they still serve the royal family loyally.

Guarding the northern border, fighting against the foreign tribes in the snowy region of the Saiwai grassland for generations, the Guigu family who is good at the secret way. It is the most brave and warlike family in the entire empire. Their men were tall and powerful, but they were fierce-looking, and their women were plump and tall and beautiful. According to historical records, the first founding queen of the Zhuluo Dynasty was from the Guigu family, she followed Zhuluo to fight in all directions for many years, and the women's army under her command was very strong. But the strange thing is that in the more than 1,000 years of history of the Guigu family, there is only such a queen, and the emperor of the second generation of the Zhuluo Dynasty is not from the Guigu Empress.

Guarding the western border is the Duan family, a member of the Pengyi tribe who has lived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains for generations. The Duan family knows very well the truth of self-preservation, and it is easy not to have private dealings with people in the royal family. The women of the Pendulum Yi tribe are soft and affectionate, and there are also several famous ** favorite concubines in history, but most of them are not scheming, so they all stop at the status of concubines, and no emperor in the history of the royal family has the blood of the Pendulum Yi clan.

Guarding the border of the East China Sea is the Ji family, the Ji family is quite noble, before the establishment of the Zhuluo Dynasty, it is said that the Ji family has a high status on the continent at that time, and later the ancestors of the Ji family saw that the Zhuluo had the appearance of the emperor, and followed the north and south to discuss. Most of the daughters of the Ji family are fair and delicate, and their appearance is very beautiful, and they are a little more dignified and generous than the women of the Guigu family, so most of the queens in the early stage of the Zhuluo royal family are from the Ji family, and even Zhuluo II is from the daughter of the Ji family.

Guarding the southern border was the Yuan family, and the capital of the Zhuluo Dynasty was located in Yanzhou in the north, on the shore of Zhonghai. The Nanqiu area is the farthest from Kyoto, so the Yuan family is very similar to the Duan family, and they go to Beijing without doing anything, and they are self-sufficient and happy in their own fiefdoms. The Yuan family also once entered the family women to the royal family, but the Yuan family is not handsome enough regardless of the appearance of men and women, and the skin is dark, so most of the Yuan women are not favored, and later, the Yuan family simply no longer sends their daughters to Yanzhou.

Although the four emerging families do not have the blood of gods, and they have only flourished in the past five hundred years, they have a lofty position in the business world, political circles and even academic circles of the empire, so to speak, the four ancient and mysterious families control the security of the borders around the empire, and these four emerging families control the lifeblood of the empire's management.

The Huangfu family started in Yongzhou, their clan is good at reading, and there have been officials in the capital for generations, and now the officials are in the sky, whether it is the three provinces or the six ministries, there are people from the Huangfu family, and the Huangfu family has controlled the state institutions of the imperial court. What's more, the daughter of the Huangfu family has been a nobleman for generations for more than 200 years. In the past 100 years, there have been three generations of queens.

The daughter of the Huangfu family is not only beautiful, but also wise, which is very conducive to competing for favor in the **, coupled with the power of the Huangfu family in the previous dynasty, they can dominate for a long time after entering the palace**.

The Gong family comes from the coast of the East China Sea, which is also a family of talented sons and daughters, and most of their descendants are obsessed with a certain type of academics. Their ancestors were the military advisors of the Founding Emperor Zhuluo, who were known for their wit and genius. After assisting Zhuluo in establishing the imperial dynasty, he politely refused Zhuluo's kindness to pay homage to him and returned to his hometown. But because his descendants have appeared from generation to generation with talented people, the Gong family did not lose their light with his retreat. After so many years of operation, the Gong family now has the leadership of the highest academic institution in the empire, and almost all the high-ranking civil officials in the court are their disciples.

The Jiang family and the Jun family were the richest families in the entire empire. The Chiang family was in the south, controlling shipping and salt, while the Jun family was in the west, controlling coal, mines, etc.

The forty-seventh Empress of Zhuluo came from the Jiang family in the south, although the forty-seventh of Zhuluo was mediocre, but he was not a stupid person, he and the forty-sixth of Zhuluo had already realized that the eight families had become a great threat to the imperial power, but he was also lawless in this situation, and could only try his best to balance the strength of the eight major units, hoping that the imperial family could continue to go further on this tightrope, and also hoped that there would be a capable person among his descendants to reverse the situation.

The Zhuluo royal family has multiplied so far, most of the princes are mediocre, but the princesses and concubines are many smart people. The prosperity of yin and the decline of yang also planted the seeds of disaster for the fate of the royal family. ”

Speaking of this, the North Shore Kite stopped for a moment, and the North Shore Dragon couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that?"

"To the forty-seventh of Zhuluo, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Jiang are very smart people, but unfortunately one mountain can not accommodate two tigers, the Queen Mother originally wanted to control **, but the Jiang family was personally selected by himself when the forty-seventh of Zhuluo was still the prince, and fought against the Queen Mother in **. However, the eldest prince born to the queen was later named the crown prince, and he was raised by the queen mother since he was a child, and he was not close to the queen when he grew up. This crown prince is your grandfather, and you and I are both descendants of the Zhuluo royal family."

Seeing the surprised look of the North Shore Dragon, the North Shore Zheng couldn't help but smile, "Don't divulge this secret, it will kill us." But if this world is still the Zhuluo Dynasty, you should be the prince, and I should be the princess or the county lord. ”

The North Shore Dragon was really taken aback this time, he stared at the North Shore Zheng with wide eyes, "Sister, are you joking?"

Kitashore Zheng Se said, "What my sister told you today, you have to swear that you will not tell anyone. ”

Since the North Shore Dragon came to the North Shore Zheng at the age of two, he is very dependent on the North Shore Zheng and convinced, and without any hesitation, he raised his hand and swore that he would never tell anyone what he heard from the North Shore Zheng today.

Kita'an Zheng continued with a gentle face, "Remember your vow, even your wife and children can't say it in the future." The Zhura Dynasty is a thing of the past, so let it pass. But if, in the future, my sister and I encounter an accident, although your niece is a blood jade master, but she is lonely, you must take care of her as I take care of you. ”

The North Shore Dragon nodded, and then wondered, "What is the Blood Jade Recognition Lord?"

The North Shore Zheng touched the top of the North Shore Dragon's head, "The Blood Jade Recognition of the Lord is the heirloom secret of our royal family, and the reason why our Imperial Family has been in decline since five hundred years ago is because we have not been able to recognize the Lord of the Blood Jade. Our royal family has such a long history, and every night in the future, I will tell you everything I know little by little. In general, it is a good thing for your niece Xueyu to recognize the master, and it will also bring her a lot of danger, and no one else will be allowed to tell you about this matter in the future except for you and me Mama Lu. Speaking of our family, we have to start from the fifteenth year of the forty-seventh reign of Zhuluo. ”
