The imperial study was extremely quiet, except for the sound of the emperor's "rustling" Zhu pen instructions and chapters, only the sound of breathing.

Li Qian was guarding in front of the emperor, his ears moved, and he looked sideways, and saw a small eunuch outside the hall signaling to him. He arched his hand towards the Emperor and went out without a word.

"What's the matter?"

The little eunuch whispered in Li Qian's ear.

Li Qian nodded, "I know, you can go." ”

The little eunuch called Li Qian a thousand and went to do something else.

Li Qian returned to the emperor and stood as usual.

The emperor did not raise his head and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Qian looked at the folds on the desk, which was not much. He lowered his head, bowed down and said, "It's a matter of Princess He'an's mansion." ”

The emperor stopped his pen, put the red pen on the pen rest, raised his head to look at Li Qian, and motioned for him to continue.

Li Qian lowered his head slightly, "The eldest princess has recognized a niece." ”

The Emperor's eyes widened slowly and he stood up from the dragon chair.

Li Qian didn't say it explicitly, but the emperor knew what it meant. It would not be surprising if it was said that He'an recognized a goddaughter. Li Qian didn't mention that this so-called "niece" was related to the horse, which meant that this child must be Xie Liangying.

"Your Majesty!" Li Qian saw that the emperor was a little out of shape, and hurriedly called out.

The Emperor blinked and sat back down in the dragon chair. He said casually: "Then I have to go and see whose child can enter He'an's eyes." She has always had a high vision. ”

Li Qian smiled lightly: "If you can make the eldest princess happy, Your Majesty must also like it." He added, "The eldest princess was happy to see the child, and she has been living in the eldest princess's mansion for the past few days." ”

The emperor smiled and pointed at Li Qian, "Go ahead, don't stick to today and tomorrow, I have to take a look." ”

Li Qian made a promise and went to make arrangements.

The emperor picked up the pen and continued to give instructions, but after writing a few words, he could no longer calm down. He simply put down his pen and ordered the palace people in the palace to catch up with Li Qian, and asked him to arrange a trip today.

Li Qian didn't think it was strange when he got the letter. On the contrary, it was the previous emperor's appearance that he was not in a hurry, so Li Qian was not sure.

On the way to the eldest princess's mansion, the emperor kept rubbing his thighs with both hands.

Does that kid blame himself? Originally, she could be raised in the palace and had the status of a dignified princess. Although I don't have my mother, I'm still here. But he didn't feel at ease, he couldn't guard her day after all, and the Bai family became the crown princess again, and it was easy to kill a child. If she dies, then her and Yuanyuan's only child will not survive in the world. After a hundred years, how can he have the face to go to see Yuanyuan under the Nine Springs?

The emperor thought about it again, Xie Liangying has never been an unreasonable child, and if you talk to her carefully, you should understand. After I have taken care of the white phase, I can put her back to my side. He'an is also a good person, and he will definitely explain to Xie Liangying before he goes.

The emperor, who was wavering in his heart, lifted the curtain, looked at the street scene worriedly, and calculated in his heart how many roads there were still from the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Looking at the kneeling people in the street, the emperor remembered something again. Xie Liangying knew it too suddenly, and it was a little inexplicable to him. He had been hiding this secret for almost twenty years, and nothing had ever gone wrong. How could I be known by Xie Liangying today? And Ann too, when did she find out? I didn't talk to him at all. Isn't he angry that he didn't tell her?

Li Qian's voice sounded outside, "Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess's Mansion has arrived. ”

The two little eunuchs opened the door, and the emperor got out of the car with Li Qian's support.

The person who knelt on the ground in front of the eldest princess's mansion was pressurized.

"Get up, let's talk."

Li Qian carried the emperor and walked inside.

The emperor was used to coming, he sat down on the top, looked at Xie Liangying and Yang Xingze who were following behind He'an, and sighed. "When did you find out?"

Li Qian made a thousand calls to the emperor and He'an, and took all the palace people in the house to go out and guard outside.

He An turned his head to look at the open door and the palace people in the distance, turned to the emperor and said, "I will know this year." I didn't expect it. She looked at the emperor, "I'll go to the inner room with Aze, you, brother emperor...... Have a good talk with Hotaru. ”

Yang Xingze turned his head before entering the inner room, glanced at Xie Liangying, and then followed behind He An.

Xie Liangying stood in place, twisting her hands. In the past, she often entered the palace and knew the emperor. The two of them often have "chance encounters" in the palace, and now that I think about it, it was probably arranged by the emperor. When there was no such relationship, Xie Liangying felt that he could still talk to the emperor freely. Now that she had opened the window paper, she didn't know how to face the emperor for a while.

The one sitting on it was her biological father, but she couldn't call her father.

The Emperor gestured to a position, "Sit down." Watching Xie Liangying sit down and ask her, "Do you hate me?" ”

Xie Liangying shook her head, "My aunt told me." The aunt said the words very quietly, she was a little afraid that she would exceed the rules, and she was also a little afraid that the emperor would not recognize her. If Xie Shen knew the identity of her granddaughter, she would not be able to call her aunt.

The emperor nodded, "He'an is a kind person, a good aunt, right?" You were sick at the banquet before, and she was more anxious than anyone else. ”

Xie Liangying nodded, "um".

The two of them never spoke again. There used to be endless words, but no one knew what to say at this time. There are countless words in my heart that I want to say to the other party, but when it comes to my mouth, I swallow it again.

The emperor kept rubbing his legs vigorously to hide his heart.

Xie Liangying kept looking at him and asked coldly: "Although my aunt told me a little, there are some things that I still want to ask you face-to-face." ”

Xie Liangying didn't know whether to use His Majesty or his father for the emperor. Calling Your Majesty will be a little raw, and it may make the emperor sad. He An said that the emperor still remembers Princess Jiang. can call the father, afraid that the emperor will blame himself for exceeding the rules before he has a correct name. I just used you.

The Emperor tried to make his expression look kind, trying to squeeze out a stiff smile. "What's the matter, you ask."

Xie Liangying whispered: "I can understand that I didn't save my grandfather's family at that time. But why didn't he save his mother? You ...... in your heart What do you think about your mother? ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were wet, and he should have remembered the events of the year. He took a deep breath, trying to suck back his tears.

"Your mother...... He is a stubborn person. looks like a gentle lady, but she is the same boy in her bones. It was about your grandfather," the emperor smiled, "that is, the literati temperament inherited from my mentor, Jiang Taifu. Before we got married, the first emperor actually didn't agree. There was a time when I wanted to give up......"

The emperor's eyes flickered, and his eyes seemed to reproduce the appearance of Princess Jiang standing in the heavy rain that night, soaking wet. In the rainy night, it was almost impossible to see the surrounding scenery, but the emperor had carved those eyes that were revealing that he did not admit defeat on his heart.

Xie Liangying looked at the emperor intently, even if he was halfway through his words, he didn't continue to urge.

The emperor came back to his senses and continued: "At that time, it happened that the Queen Mother was very ill, and the people of Qin Tianjian watched the stars at night, saying that your mother, who was already pregnant, bumped into her and asked your mother to go out of the palace and go back to her mother's house to live. She was about to give birth at that time, and I was reluctant and worried. It was her and I had our first child. The emperor looked at Xie Liangying gently, "It's you." ”

Xie Liangying was a little embarrassed by him, lowered her head and bit her lip gently.

"But your mother insists on going back to Jiang's house. Hotaru, none of the princes have done it easily, and so do I. At that time, the first emperor was a little sick and confused, and I was not liked by him in the first place, but I only had the position of the crown prince because of the name of the eldest son. What he loves the most is the sixth son of the emperor born by Shan Guifei. At that time, the Sixth Emperor Brother had grown up, and it was time to share power with me. Concubine Shan felt that there was an opportunity, so she united with the courtiers to attack me everywhere. ”

The emperor clenched his fists, "Your mother told me that if she doesn't go back, then she will become an excuse for the courtiers to attack me." She's my wife, and she can't put a scar on me with her own hands. So she went back. It's still Mrs. Jiang's peace of mind, and let your grandmother pick her up. If I had known, I would never see her again as soon as she left this time, and that she would have left anyone behind. He looked at Xie Liangying with teary eyes, "Ah Ying, I'm afraid." You haven't experienced the dangers of that time, you don't know. I'm afraid that once I fall and lose the title of the crown prince, won't Concubine Shan and the sixth son of the emperor be wiped out? After all, I occupy the orthodox name. I'm dead, where can your mother be saved? ”

Xie Liangying was silent, she thought of today's national capital dispute, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Huang Cancan's dragon chair has always been stained with countless blood.

"I don't mention the dispute between the princes, just say that your mother is in the harem. The Queen Mother was ill at that time, and everything in the harem was in the hands of Concubine Shan. It was too easy for her to do anything. I thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to your mother. The Emperor sighed, "The fault is still mine." I didn't expect the Bai family's heart to be so big. I was fortunate to her because of Bai's tears on the night she entered the palace, who knew that she had left such a bane. If she hadn't been pregnant, Bai Xiang would not have given it a go, framing your grandfather's family for treason. ”

Xie Liangying was a little puzzled, "But, something happened to my grandfather's family, don't you also have to be implicated?" Why did Bai Xiang come up with this decision? He only has one daughter, the queen. ”

"That's where the shrewdness of the white phase comes in." The Emperor sighed, "He linked this matter to the Sixth Emperor's younger brother, Concubine Shan. I don't know where he found a Fanbang man, and he took advantage of the victory at the border pass and put him in as a prisoner. After arriving in the capital, people pointed out that Shan Guifei was a beauty trick they deliberately cultivated. The first emperor was old and sick at that time, and this was what he was most afraid of, so he didn't even ask, and beheaded all the people involved. One was his pillow man, and the other was his most beloved son, and his eyes never blinked. ”

Xie Liangying had never heard of these things. He'an has always been well protected by the emperor and the queen mother, and some of them only know a rough idea, not all the inside information. 166 Reading Network
