Chapter 11: Royal Gossip

Sheng Weiqiao returned to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu with a red face, and he was glad that no one saw the flaws along the way, so he hurriedly told Lu Qi and Lu Jin not to talk out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two maids nodded again and again: "The slaves and maids haven't seen or heard anything today!"

"It's cheap!" Sheng Weiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the scene he accidentally bumped into today, he was ashamed, but he no longer had the courage to find trouble with Sheng Sleeping Crane, so he had to curse silently in his heart: Next time it falls into my hands, I will give you a good look!

Thinking of this, he looked down and saw the unicorn jade pendant in his hand, he couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "This jade pendant is not an ordinary thing, so let's take it to my aunt to see!"

After a while, Xuan Yu Mansion, Xuan Yu Feng frowned, looked at the unicorn jade pendant sent by his niece, and said, "Is this really the thing in the outer room?"

"I saw him with my own eyes, how can I be fake?" Sheng Weiqiao looked forward to, "Auntie, can you see the problem?"

"It's a big problem!" Xuan Yu Feng put down the jade pendant and said with a solemn expression, "It's useless to tell you about this kind of thing - Cui Xuan, you immediately call someone to go to Feng's mansion and invite Qiao'er and her father over!"

Sheng Weiqiao was very dissatisfied with being looked down upon by her aunt, so she hugged her arm and shook it vigorously: "Auntie hasn't said it yet, how do you know it's useless to tell me? Besides, I got this jade pendant!"

"This thing, it's very likely to come from Chang'an!" Xuan Yu Feng couldn't stand her entanglement, and revealed some tone in the end, "The style of the carver, it seems to be from the Great Inner - if this jade pendant is really owned by the outer room, either his biological mother has an extraordinary background, or, he is not of the Sheng family's bloodline, and his own background is extraordinary!"

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she muttered, "But since the outer room has come back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, if his biological mother is really noble, relying on her power, it is not impossible to force your mother to give way to her! Why delay until his son is seventeen years old, and send him back alone? I thought, or the latter is more likely!"

"But if that outer room is not my father's child, and he has a very high status, why do you want to go to my house and be my father's son?" Sheng Weiqiao asked puzzledly, "How could my father agree?"

"So I'm going to invite your father to come over and talk!" Xuan Yu Feng frowned, "After all, your father also stayed in Chang'an back then--I'm not your mother, how do you know what he did and made friends with during his time in Chang'an?!"

While prevaricating her niece, she felt that her heartbeat was gradually accelerating: Nanfeng County was far away from Chang'an, and Xuan Yujia was a squire who concentrated on business, so he naturally didn't care too much about the court.

But when Sheng Lan asked to marry Feng Yulu, the Feng family suffered a loss in the marriage announced to the Feng family, in order to find a good home for the youngest daughter, but specially sent someone to Chang'an to check his reputation!

Xuan Yu Feng remembered that when the people sent to Chang'an came back, in addition to telling Sheng Lanci about his performance in Chang'an, he also said a few words in passing: "I heard that the Shu sisters, who were born as dancing girls in the Son of Heaven, still don't think about government politics. The queen mother hung the curtains, and everything was entrusted to her brothers, and the clan and courtiers were deeply troubled by this. For example, His Majesty's younger brother, King Gaomi and others, gave advice several times and asked the Son of Heaven to govern himself, but the Son of Heaven sat in the palace for a short half a day, so he couldn't help but run back to the harem to find the Shu sisters, and called King Gaomi and others so helpless!"

The old lady of the exhibition listened curiously, and said: "The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, what kind of beauty does not have it?" The Shu sisters are overwhelmed by the country and the city, how can the Son of Heaven even ignore the government for them?"

"Old lady, you don't know, when the little one was in Chang'an, I heard a rumor: the Son of Heaven has been childless since his marriage, a few days ago, Jin Meiren finally had a happy day, it is said that this is a great thing, right? Even the Queen Mother is so happy as if something, guess what?" The next person saw that the master mother was interested, and said playfully, "The Shu sisters are not happy, and they put on a face for the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven can't hold it, so they directly ask someone to give Jin Meiren a bowl of abortion and fetal medicine! You said that the Son of Heaven spoils those two people so much that they don't even care about the heirs, not to mention the government, right?" ”

Speaking of this, he was stopped by Feng Li, the head of the Feng family, and asked everyone to continue to discuss the marriage between Feng Yulu and Sheng Lanci, and not to digress.

…… Now that Xuan and Feng think about it, they can't help but be suspicious: "It's been more than ten years! It is said that instead of falling out of favor with the passage of time, the Shu sisters have become more and more proud, and last year they even forced the Empress Yuan to commit suicide -- and the Son of Heaven still has no children under his knees, because the Shu sisters have nothing to do, and no one else is allowed to continue the heirs for the Son of Heaven! Even if the Son of Heaven himself was stunned by those two, how could others watch that the Son of Heaven had no heir? That Sheng Sleeping Crane ...... Is it possible...... Is it the prince who was secretly sent out of the palace?!"

It's just that Xuan Yu Feng thought far away, but after a while, Sheng Lanci, who was invited over, glanced at the unicorn jade pendant when he entered the door, and smiled: "The sleeping crane gave it to the good girl?

Xuan Yu Feng: "......"

She calmed down for a moment before asking, "Is this what Sleeping Crane got in exchange?" Such a good jade pendant, but I don't know what treasure to get in exchange?"

"It's not a good thing for him to exchange for jade pendants. Sheng Lanci said with a smile, "It's just luck - the market by the sea, you also know it, eldest sister, it's also a touch." ”

Sheng Weiqiao heard it in a fog and was about to ask a question, but Xuan Yu Feng seemed to understand, turned his head to her and said, "Qiao'er, you go to your cousin's place and take a look, he has recently made some interesting things, maybe you will like it too." ”

"What do you like!" Sheng Weiqiao stood up slightly aggrieved and said angrily, "It's not that you want to drive me away!"

Xuan Yu Feng would think about things, ignoring her little temper, Sheng Lanci immediately felt distressed, the obedient girl was long and short, coaxed her all the way out of the door, and accompanied her to talk under the porch, confirming that his obedient girl was not angry, then nodded and sent her away, turned around, and complained dissatisfiedly to the eldest sister-in-law: "If you want to break away from the obedient girl, don't act so obvious! The obedient girl is so smart......"

"Such a big child doesn't learn all day long, that's what you're used to!" Xuan Yu Feng said impatiently, "If I hadn't been beaten from time to time, this kid might have looked crooked—forget it, if I don't tell you this now, I just ask you, this jade pendant is really in exchange?"

"Otherwise, the sleeping crane can rest in a place where the obedient girl can see it, let alone ask the obedient girl to show it to the eldest sister!" Sheng Lanci also said with a straight face when she heard this, "When I first returned to my hometown, in addition to the fact that my family was really inseparable from people, in fact, I also saw that the situation between the DPRK and China was wrong, and I didn't want to get involved in right and wrong, so I took this opportunity to leave--Could it be that more than ten years have passed, do you still have to take the initiative to wade into troubled waters? For the sake of the obedient mother and daughter, I can't take this risk!"

Xuan Yu Feng is right to think about it, Sheng Lan was born in the imperial examination, entered the Hanlin, and the Sheng family and Ning Weihou are friends in the court. If he is tired of being a squire and wants to become a squire, there is no need to take the risk of raiding the family and getting involved in the affairs of the royal family.

However: "This jade pendant is from Ouchi, and those who can use it are either clans or eunuchs, and there are no such people near our Nanfeng County! How can it appear in the seaside market?"

"There's a reason for that. Speaking of this question, Sheng Lanci sighed, stroked her short hair, and then continued, "Do you know about the major events at sea not long ago?"
