142 Past

When King Qiyang came out of the Millennium Courtyard, he called Mama Du to the study in the front yard to talk, and he went to the front yard by himself, but he did not go to the study, but towards Jiang Bai Courtyard.

Jiangbai Courtyard is the study of the prince of Qiyang in the front yard before his death, since the prince is gone, it has been sealed, and there are two small servants in the courtyard every day who are responsible for sprinkling and cleaning.

Sometimes King Qiyang will come over to take a look when he thinks of it, so King Qiyang entered Jiangbai Courtyard, and the little guy didn't feel strange, he just thought that King Qiyang missed his son, but King Qiyang didn't go to the study, but asked the little guy to call the steward to open the treasury.

The things in the treasury are all the old things of the prince of Qiyang before his death, and the little guy is a little strange, but he doesn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly goes. After a while, the steward hurried over and opened the storeroom.

King Qiyang entered the storehouse, asked where the calligraphy and paintings were located, and rummaged through, and soon he found an old painting from a pile of paintings made by the prince of Qiyang.

It is a picture of a lady, the woman in the painting has no makeup, standing near the river, her appearance is quite gorgeous, that is, after more than ten years, the picture scroll has been a little yellow, and the color of the clothes and decorations in the painting has faded, but the king of Qiyang can still see at a glance, the woman in the painting and the five girls Su Yingluo of the Su Mansion that he saw when he was in the Great Power Temple that day have seven or eight points of appearance.

The prince of Qiyang is not a greedy and lustful person, and the old things of the prince were all cleaned up by the king of Qiyang himself, and he found such a painting in the study of the prince of Qiyang. And the woman in the painting is even more lifelike, because he has never heard his son mention such a woman, and the woman in the painting is by no means the concubine of the son in the palace of the county king, so when the king of Qiyang saw that painting, he was inevitably a little surprised, looked at it a few more times, and was extremely impressed.

When he saw Yingluo in the Great Dao Temple that day, he inexplicably felt that there was some kindness there, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Today, I saw Yingluo's younger brother Su Jinghua in front of the general's mansion, and saw that Su Jinghua looked exactly like his son, and King Qiyang suddenly thought of this painting.

Now he slowly unfolds the scroll, and the more he looks at the painting, the more he feels that the person in the painting is like Yingluo.

Thinking of Yingluo's age, King Qiyang guessed that most of the people in this painting were Yingluo's mother.

This Su Wu girl heard that she was a concubine, so her biological mother should be Su Dingwen's concubine.

Su Dingwen's concubine became the person in the painting of the prince of Qiyang, and Su Yingluo's younger brother looked exactly the same as the prince of Qiyang, and according to Su Jinghua's age, the prince of Qiyang happened to be in Suizhou because of the private salt case.

In this case, in fact, the facts are already in front of him, and King Qiyang's hand holding the scroll trembles a little.

His eyes are slightly hot, he is not a person who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, he has always attached great importance to his two sons-in-law, and the Qiyang Royal Mansion thinks that he started with military merits, so he naturally hopes that his two sons can inherit the mantle of his ancestors, so he brought both sons to the frontier, but he never expected that the two sons would never come back.

Today's third son is a sick man, he has never practiced martial arts since he was a child, and it can be expected that as soon as he dies, the Qiyang Mansion will not live up to its name, and it will be ruined from then on.

This is not what King Qiyang wants to see, now the most lacking thing in the Qiyang Mansion is the heir, Su Jinghua is a child of unknown origin, and King Qiyang also feels that God blesses the Xiao family, so that the heroic eldest son can leave such a little blood.

And he looked at Su Jinghua's long hands and feet, his body was agile, he was really a martial arts material, and he was not too old, and he still had time to educate now.

And he was really sad when he looked at his old wife, now that he has this child, he must be able to get better and be comforted.

King Qiyang thought about it, closed his eyes heavily, put away the scroll, held it in his hand, walked out of the treasury, and hurried towards the Millennium Courtyard.

Walking out of the Jiangbai Courtyard, he suddenly paused again, thinking that he still found the concubine room that the prince of Qiyang brought back from Suizhou to ask, maybe the concubine would know what happened in Suizhou back then, and it would be appropriate to tell the old wife about it when he figured it out.

King Qiyang thought, turned around and walked to the study again, when he arrived at the study, Mama Du was already waiting in the study, she had heard the intention of King Qiyang to call her over, and replied respectfully: "When the prince came back from Suizhou, he did bring a concubine Aunt Cui, but after bringing it back, I didn't see how the prince liked it, as if he had only been there once or twice, and then he left it." After that, the prince went to the frontier with the king of the county. After the prince died, the princess of the county entered the palace to ask for grace, let the princess return to the sect, and then ordered the slaves and maids to marry off the prince's three-room concubines. That Aunt Cui because she didn't have any relatives in the capital, the old slave made the decision to match her to a steward in the Zhuangzi of the county king's mansion, and now she should be the steward lady in the Zhuangzi, if the county king wants to see her, the old slave will send someone to call her over. ”

King Qiyang said in a deep voice: "No need, which grange is it?" ”

When Mama Du heard what King Qiyang meant, she seemed to be looking for it in person, and she was slightly stunned for a moment, and then she said: "It's the grange of the county king's mansion at the foot of Marven Mountain in the western suburbs." ”

King Qiyang asked again: "Is that Aunt Cui from Suizhou?" How did you get to Brother Lan'er? ”

Aunt Cui is her son's concubine, and there is no reason for her father to pay attention to her son's concubine, so King Qiyang does not know Aunt Cui's situation, and Mama Du is a confidant of the princess of the county, and she naturally knows everything about the inner house, so she replied neatly: "This Aunt Cui said that she was from Suizhou, and her family suffered a disaster and was saved by the prince. ”

When King Qiyang heard this, he felt that there must be something strange in this, as soon as he came, his son was not inseparable from women, how could he casually save a woman and stay by his side, and he was not the one who had never seen a woman. If you bring it back again, it means that you must like it, but just now Mama Du said that Aunt Cui is not liked by the world, and the Communist Party has only been there once or twice, isn't this contradictory.

The more King Qiyang thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he asked Mama Du to retreat, he walked around the study, then wrapped up the painting and strode out of the study, and called his entourage to beat his horse to Zhuangzi in the western suburbs.

That Aunt Cui married Jin Yi, the steward of the grange, and gave birth to two babies over the years, and the people on the grange called her Aunt Jin.

When King Qiyang arrived, Jin Yi, the steward of the grange, naturally greeted him in front of the village, and learned that King Qiyang wanted to see his mother-in-law, so he was stunned for a long time, and then hurriedly ordered someone to hurry up and call Aunt Jin over.

Aunt Jin didn't know why King Qiyang wanted to see her, she was a little trembling when she arrived at the study, and after bowing her head and kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, she didn't dare to raise her head when she heard King Qiyang speak, only her heart was shocked.

And King Qiyang sat behind the desk and looked at the kneeling woman in the room, and saw that she was wearing a ginger gown, tied in a round bun, with two pieces of gold and silver jewelry on it.

He pondered for a moment before he asked, "I called you here to ask you something, and you raised your head and answered." ”

Aunt Jin's heart tightened when she heard this, she raised her head, and saw King Qiyang's solemn face, and her heart became more and more unstable.

King Qiyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said, "Do you know Su Dingwen, the prefect of Suizhou?" ”

King Qiyang had already thought clearly on the way to the grange, that Su Wu girl looked similar to his biological mother, and Su Wu girl was Su Dingwen's concubine, which means that when his son met the woman in the painting, the woman was already Su Dingwen's concubine and already had a daughter.

And he wasn't sure if the Aunt Cui brought back by his son knew what happened back then, the best way was to explore first and see if this Aunt Cui knew Su Dingwen.

If Aunt Cui knew Su Dingwen, then most likely she also knew Su Dingwen's concubine, maybe she would be able to know why Su Dingwen's concubine was secretly married to her son Zhufetus, and Su Jinghua was left.

At this moment, when King Qiyang asked, he stared sharply at the golden lady, but saw that her face showed a look of consternation, and then a trace of panic and weakness flashed, and he actually hung his head, and then said: "The slave doesn't know what the prefect of Suizhou is." ”

King Qiyang looked at Aunt Jin with a careful look on her face, how could he believe what she said, snorted coldly, and said: "You don't have to be nervous, the king of this county is just asking you about the past, you answer honestly, no matter what the secret is, the king of this county will not pursue the past." The answer is good, the king of this county will still bring your man, I heard that you gave birth to two boys? If you answer well, ask for any grace for your two boys, and the king of this county will satisfy you. But if you dare to hide from the king of this county and let the king of this county find out, don't say it's you, even your man and children will be severely punished! Do you understand? ”

King Qiyang's voice was not loud, but he had a kind of majesty and murderous aura honed by the battlefield all over his body, Aunt Jin's body trembled, and she lowered her head for a while, and the king of the county would not see her for no reason, and he would definitely not ask Su Dingwen for no reason, but I was afraid that the king of the county would know what would be like this.

Thinking about it, she didn't dare to deceive anymore, and said: "If you go back to the county king, Su Dingwen, the prefect of Suizhou, and the slave maid are known, but that was more than ten years ago, and he was not the prefect at that time, but the county lord of Qingfeng County under the jurisdiction of Suizhou." ”

King Qiyang smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and said, "Very good, the king of this county will ask you again, how did you know this Su Dingwen?" ”

Aunt Jin hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The slave maid was once employed by Master Su, so I have also met Master Su a few times. ”

King Qiyang said: "There is a painting here in the king of this county, you can take it over and see if you know the person in this painting." ”

As he spoke, he handed the scroll out, and Aunt Jin hurriedly got up, bowed to the bookcase, raised her hands and carefully took the painting.

She slowly unfolded the painting, only glanced at it, and suddenly her face turned pale, and her hand was out of strength, and the scroll almost fell to the ground.

Just as his mind was floating, he heard the voice of King Qiyang sound.

"Looks like you know the man in the painting! So my son obviously had a dewy marriage with the woman in this painting, why did you bring it back to the house later? Who are you? Don't tell the truth yet! ”

Aunt Jin knelt on the ground with a puff when she heard this, but she cried and said: "The king of the county spares his life, it was not the slave maid who deliberately deceived the prince back then, it was my wife who instructed the slave maid to do that!" Slaves and maids are all ghosts, which deceived the prince, the slave and the maid know that it is wrong, the slave and the maid should not be greedy for glory and deceive the prince, the slave and the maid know that it is wrong, and beg the prince of the county to see that the slave and the maid are also considered to be the women of the prince, spare their lives. ”

When King Qiyang heard this, he remained silent, and said, "You can tell the story of the year in detail, so that the king of this county can decide whether to spare you." ”

Aunt Jin talked about the events of the year, but it turned out that she was Su Dingwen's personal maid in the outer room of Jiyao.

And that Ji Yao was originally a well-known Qing Qi person in Suizhou, once Su Dingwen and his colleagues went to the flower boat, this Ji Yao was on the boat, at that time there were a lot of Qing Yao and ** women on the boat, but Su Dingwen alone ordered Ji Yao to accompany him, and some people were embarrassed to send Yao during the banquet, or Su Dingwen to solve the siege.

At that time, although Su Dingwen was only a small seven-grade county order, he was born in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and there were naturally officials who wanted to make friends.

Ji Yao was placed in a house not far from the Qingzhou River at that time, although Su Dingwen loved Ji Yao very much, but he had no intention of taking Ji Yao back home.

Xu is Jiyao knows that Su Dingwen has a childhood sweetheart's wife in his family, and he just covets her to be beautiful and fresh, not sincere. Therefore, she gave birth to a daughter for Su Dingwen, but she still didn't really love Su Dingwen in her heart.

Su Dingwen is greedy for Ji Yao's beauty, but he is also afraid that his wife Song will find out, so he does not often go to Ji Yao's house.

Ji Yao has nothing to do, and she is not a woman who does not leave the door and does not step out of the door, she is more courageous and restless than ordinary women in the house, so she often takes her personal maid after nightfall, and sneaks out of the back door to the Qingzhou River not far away to relax.

And Jiyao and Qiyang Wang Shizi met for the first time by the Qingzhou River, at that time Qiyang Wang Shizi went to Suizhou to investigate the case of smuggling salt, at that time, few officials in Suizhou were innocent, these officials had killed a Qincha, Qiyang Wang Shizi as the second Qincha, his arrival was like throwing cold water in the oil pot, Suizhou immediately fried the pot, Qiyang Wang Shizi's errand was destined not to be easy.

Rao is the prince of Qiyang is cautious and cautious, and he has martial arts, but the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, or he is hit, and when the king of Qiyang was injured and fell into distress, he fled to the vicinity of the Qingzhou River and met Jiyao who was there to relax.

So a scene of a beauty saving a hero was staged, and then the prince of Qiyang went to Qingzhou River to wait for Ji Yao, just to thank him.

When Jiyao rescued the prince of Qiyang, he concealed his identity and only said that he was a widow.

Now that we get along again, one is a beautiful son with a clear appearance and a noble demeanor, and the other is a beautiful woman with excellent color and art.

Later, the two met three times by the Qingzhou River, the prince of Qiyang Wang Shizi was a young jinshi, literary and romantic, that Jiyao is a famous Qing people, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the two talk about poetry and songs, talk about calligraphy and painting and chess skills, naturally become more and more familiar, quite a confidant.

Until one day, the prince of Qiyang finally completed his errand and was ready to return to Beijing, and asked Ji Yao if he was willing to follow him to the capital, Ji Yao woke up from a sweet dream, she really loved the prince of Qiyang, but she had already given birth to a daughter with Su Dingwen, as a mother, how could she ruthlessly leave her daughter and leave with the prince of Qiyang?

What's more, she lied to the prince of Qiyang, saying that she was a widow, and now let the prince of Qiyang know her true situation, how unbearable it will be.

Therefore, she rejected the prince of Qiyang, but because of sadness, both of them used some wine that night, which was originally a concubine, and suffered from the aphrodisiac effect of wine.

Afterwards, Ji Yao came to her senses first, she couldn't leave her daughter and leave with the prince of Qiyang, and she was afraid that after the prince of Qiyang knew that she had a night of dew marriage with her, the two would become more and more involved, and she was even more afraid that after her true identity was known by the prince of Qiyang, he would be disgusted with her, she would rather let him feel that the two were destined to have nothing to do, and he would be able to leave some good memories in the future.

Therefore, Ji Yao that night made the personal maid at that time green screen, that is, Aunt Cui took off her clothes and lay down with the prince of Qiyang. With such an opportunity, the green screen is naturally happy.

According to Ji Yao's thoughts, the prince of Qiyang is an arrogant person, if he wakes up and finds that he actually touched her maidservant, he will definitely have no face to face her, and he will suffer her rejection, so naturally he will not explore Ji Yao's identity again, let alone worry about her again.

In this way, the prince of Qiyang took away her maidservant, while Jiyao continued to be Su Dingwen's outer room, and the two returned to their respective tracks as if they had never known each other.

The fact is just as Ji Yao thought, the prince of Qiyang woke up and found that he was lying with the green screen, and sure enough, he didn't bother Ji Yao much anymore, leaving only Yinliang to buy the green screen and return to the capital with the green screen.

And the green screen became Aunt Cui of the Qiyang Palace, she never had contact with the previous people after she arrived at the County Palace, so she didn't know that Ji Yao was pregnant with the child of the prince of Qiyang afterwards, and she encountered dystocia and passed away when she was still giving birth to this child.

King Qiyang naturally wouldn't tell SΓΉ Jiyao about these things, and when he heard her make it clear what happened back then, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "So that's the case." ”

Aunt Jin fell to the ground and begged for mercy again: "King Mingjian, although the slave maid deceived the prince of the county back then, the slave maid didn't have any harmful intentions. And the slave always felt that the prince knew about the night, although he brought the slave and the maid back to the capital, and gave the slave and maid the name, but he never touched the slave and maid, although he went to the slave and maid twice, but he only talked for a while, and the conversation was also about the lady. ”

King Qiyang was not surprised when he heard this, what kind of person his son is King Qiyang still knows, where is that kid who is drunk and doesn't know anything, most likely because he saw that Ji Yao had a dew marriage with him, and he also covered it up, and would rather let the maid act than follow him, which made that Ji Yao's heart, and he didn't dwell on it anymore and just left with the green screen.

Ji Yao was pregnant afterwards, and his son had returned to the capital afterwards, and most of that Ji Yao deceived Su Dingwen that the child was from the Su family, and this was the case that Su Dingwen later took a son and a daughter born in the outer room back to Su Mansion.

Su Jinghua is the blood and blood of the Xiao family, this child must return to the Qiyang Palace, but his life experience must be done, and he cannot be recognized as a traitorous son, the Qiyang Palace cannot afford to lose this person, his son is dead, and he can no longer be abused and condemned for this matter.

What's more, if Su Jinghua is recognized with such an identity, he will not be able to stand up to the door in the future, and he will be made fun of by the world for a lifetime.

So the things of the year can't be spread at all, although this Aunt Jin didn't know that Ji Yao was pregnant and gave birth to a child back then, but in the future, there will be an inexplicable young master in the Qiyang Palace, and Aunt Jin will definitely be able to understand.

King Qiyang pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "You confessed quite thoroughly, but you always deceived my son, how can the gate of the county king's mansion be able to enter by deception?" Thinking that you have repented, you will be lenient, so let's not stay in this capital, go back and pack your things, and go to Zhuangzi in Fengzhou with your boys. Don't worry, when you get there, your man is still in charge, but don't come back to Beijing again, understand? ”

Aunt Jin is very satisfied with her life now, for fear that her life will be affected because of the deception of the prince of Qiyang back then, and when she heard that the king of Qiyang just let their family leave the capital, she was suddenly surprised.

King Qiyang waited for her to go out, suddenly got up, put away the picture scroll again, and strode out of the study, and rushed back to the Qiyang Palace.

When he returned to the Qiyang Palace, it was already slightly dark, and the lanterns had been hung in the millennial courtyard of the county princess Tang.

King Qiyang arrived at the corridor, but he didn't wait for the people to react and said loudly: "Everyone retreats to the courtyard and waits!" ”

After that, he opened the curtain and entered the house, at this moment it was the time for Tang's dinner, Gui Mama and a few maids were waiting in the house, Tang saw King Qiyang come in and put down the chopstick, frowned coldly, before speaking, King Qiyang said: "I have something important to tell you, let Mama Gui stay outside the door, and everyone else retreats outside the hospital." ”

The Tang clan is not a confused person, seeing that King Qiyang is really a big deal like this, he also let go of the unhappiness in his heart for a while and nodded at Mama Gui.

After the two teas, Tang's irrepressible cry came from the room, one after another, mixed with the persuasion and relief of King Qiyang, and when Tang calmed down, it was already more than half an hour later.

King Qiyang personally rubbed the towel and handed it to Tang, who wiped the tears on his face, but stood up and said, "What about the child?" I'm going to meet the kid, I can't wait a moment! ”

As she spoke, she was about to call the maid to serve and change her clothes, but King Qiyang persuaded her by saying something evil, and Tang promised not to act recklessly, but she was in a hurry, and said, "What are you going to do?" When will that kid come back! That is the bloodline of our Xiao family, why stay in the Ding'an Hou Mansion and let others suffer! What the hell are you doing here? I'm ugly to say the front, if you don't recognize this child for the sake of your concubine, then I will fight my life to enter the palace to ask the saint to be the master! ”

King Qiyang frowned and said, "Look at you, that's my grandson, the only bloodline left by Brother Lan, how can I not recognize it?" If I don't recognize him, how can I tell you about this, and how can I only see Su Jinghua this morning, and I will figure it out at this time? When the two children had an accident, I also hated to replace them, that was also my sister-in-law, the sister-in-law who I personally taught with pain like an eyeball, you hate me for bringing my two sons to the battlefield, but I failed to protect them, I don't blame you, but you shouldn't say such things to break my heart. ”

Hearing this, Tang's face turned slightly red, and he said, "What Su Jinghua, that's Xiao Jinghua!" Since you said that you want to admit it, then you can tell me your plan and give me a deadline. ”

King Qiyang knew that his old wife was anxious, and after hearing this, he pondered for a moment before saying: "You can't be in a hurry about this matter, otherwise there will be endless troubles, so let me think about it first." ”

Tang also knew that what King Qiyang said was right, so he endured it and endured it before saying: "Okay, you hurry up and think about it, I won't force you, but before that, you have to ask me to meet the child." ”

King Qiyang didn't stop him this time, and said, "It's easy to say, then Su Jinghua ......."

As he spoke, he saw Tang glaring at him, and suddenly changed his words, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jinghua, his sister is very much loved by Mrs. Zhenwei's Mansion, and often goes to Zhenwei's Mansion as a guest. ”

Tang nodded again and again when he heard this, got up excitedly, and said, "There is no need for tomorrow, I will change my clothes and go to the General's Mansion." ”

King Qiyang shook his head helplessly when he saw her like this, it can be seen that although his wife's eyes were red and swollen from crying for a while, she didn't know how much more energetic than when she saw her this morning, and she couldn't help but blush for a while, so she only shook her head but didn't stop her.
