The next day, Di Lian and Xie Hengxu went out to Yunhou Mansion.

Uncle Liang led the two to the courtyard where Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Cheng lived, and when they entered the house, they saw everyone sitting around the table, and the table was full of delicacies.

Because it was the first day of the New Year, Yun Shili also set up a banquet in the mansion, and the Yunhou Mansion, which was deserted in Suri, was also lively because of the arrival of the three members of the concubine family.

"Susu." Seeing her at a glance, Mrs. Cheng was really surprised, and hurriedly got up to meet her, grabbed Tilian's hand and looked up and down, "It's a pity that you weren't there, and now you're here." ”

Tillian smiled with a smile, "In the New Year, my daughter also wants to pay New Year's greetings to her father." ”

Changye on the side also got up, paced and approached, looking at Xie Hengxu with a pair of bright eagle eyes without blinking, "Yo, this is my brother-in-law, his waist is quite strong and his eyebrows are handsome, but he looks like a dog." ”

Hearing this, Yun Shili couldn't hide his smile, stepped forward and patted Xie Hengxu's arm, seeing that he was motionless with his eyes down, his warm face couldn't help but darken slightly.

"Ah Lian, Zixu, sit down." , generally ask the two to sit down, while turning around and signaling to the scale to take the dishes and chopsticks.

Tillian looked sideways at the silent Xu, and said with a light smile, "I came here today, I have something to say to my father." At this point, he looked at Mrs. Cheng, "Mother, you and the fourth brother will have dinner first, and we will come after talking for a while." ”

Mrs. Cheng heard that she was wise and elegant, so naturally she didn't say much, she nodded with a gentle smile, and glanced at Xie Hengxu lightly.

Listening to her words, it seemed that he did not shy away from himself, Yun Shili bowed slightly, and led the three of them out of the garden and to the study.

At the end of winter, many plums have fallen like snow, in full bloom beautiful and poignant, along the way the red plum and white plum green calyx are endless, but to Yun Shili's study outside, but empty only full of snow, leaving in the corner of the yard that hundred-year-old locust tree branches dead wood cangsen.

Since the death of the old marquis, the old man's study has remained the same, and now he has inherited the title, but he still uses his previous study.

Tillian felt a little emotion in her heart, and followed the three of them into the door with her eyes down.

The four of them sat down in turn, and after a while, Uncle Liang came up with tea, added some silver carbon to the Sanding furnace in the study, and then retreated and brought the door.

Seeing the door close, Tillian looked at the chair facing her on the lower left, who was sitting upright, his eyebrows and eyes lowered in the tea cloud, as if he was leisurely sipping tea.

"Dad, when I confessed my identity to you in Starfall, the second brother once said that Zixu knew the secret of the family, so there was a future, and Dad will now go back to Xia Lan with me to confirm that Zixu will not leak the secret, I brought him here today, we confronted each other, this secret, can I know it now?"

Yun Shili sat behind the bookcase, his blue peach blossom eyes just looked at a few people silently, and he didn't intend to interject.

Putting the teacup in his hand on the small table, he looked at Xie Hengxu who was speechless with a calm face, "You asked so openly and frankly, but his illness was cured?" ”

The eyelids were slightly lifted, the quintessential phoenix eyes and the abyss-like eagle eyes of the concubine Xu looked at each other, Xie Hengxu slowly hooked his lips, "Zhenguo Gong, it's been a long time." ”

'Ding Dong' The sound of the tea bowl hitting the table wood, Di Lian glanced at Yun Shili smoothly, and saw that his gentle face was a little stunned at this time, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head comfortingly.

The white hand in the wide sleeve was slightly shaken, and Yun Shili looked at Di Lian in a daze and winked, and then lowered his eyes calmly, as if he was in meditation.

"Sure enough, you are the son and grandson of the Xie family."

"Zhenguo Gong praised. Actually, you don't have to be so uneasy about chasing Xia Lan about that matter, you know, whether it's true or not, I won't leak it. ”

"Even though you say so, aren't you sitting in front of me today because you still want to verify the truth of things?"

Xie Hengxu's thin lips pursed slightly, looked sideways at Di Lian beside him, and said in a low voice, "It's about Lian'er, I want to know everything in detail." ”

Tilian, who had been listening silently, reacted at this moment, her plain face was a little surprised, and she looked at the two of them with a slight tilt, "It's about me?" Yue's eyes turned to look at Auntie Xu, "Dad, you said that the secret of the Auntie family is related to me?" ”

How is this possible? The so-called secret that can make the Starfall clan nervous so much should not be involved in Xia Lan's daughter-in-law anyway.

Not only Di Lian, but also Yun Shili, who was an observer, was also a little confused, her peach blossom eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the three of them with a solemn expression.

He shook his big palm on the armrest of the chair casually, and he looked at Tillian for a long time without speaking.

Seeing him like this, Xie Hengxu sighed lowly, leaned over to hold Di Lian's plain hand, and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember, the mother and son of the Song family in Qianzhou who entered Beijing for the imperial examination three years ago?" ”

Dai's eyebrows frowned, and Tilian pursed her lips slightly and whispered quietly, "Why did you get involved with the Song family mother and son again?" ”

Xie Hengxu shook her head lightly, put her hand in her palm, lowered her sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and said slowly, "When I was in Dike Huan, I knew that the Song family's mother and son were going to enter Beijing to defect, so I told you about the relationship between the Song family and the Jiang family. ”

Di Lian bowed her head, "You said that the ancestor of the Song family and my great-grandfather are classmates, and the two families of the Jiang and Song dynasties for four generations are also world friends. It's a pity that when the great-grandfather enjoyed the emperor, Song Shengyue's great-grandfather was involved in the palace battle, and the Song family was defeated. ”

Xie Hengxu's phoenix eyes were soft, she smiled faintly, staring at her and whispering, "Lian'er remembers well." What we want to talk about today is the secret of the palace that was banned. ”

Di Lian's heart suddenly tightened, her lips hooked shallowly, and she smiled reluctantly, "Zixu, don't say it, this secret is also related to me." ”

The big palm holding her bare hand tightened slightly, with some reassuring meaning.

"Actually, it's not just you, it's also the survival of the Xie family."

Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and Di Lian turned her eyes to look at the opposite family, "Dad, what do you say, what is the matter, it is related to the life and death of the Xie family, and the survival of the Xie family, the two most powerful military generals on this continent, what will be threatened!" Is it my deposit? ”

Ji Xu's expression was rare cautious and helpless, he closed his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice was low and heavy, "I will make it clear to you today, the matter goes back to the war between the two dynasties a hundred years ago, when Emperor Xiang was a rare Ruiwu Mingjun, he was diligent in the national industry and also had the ambition to dominate the world, the war was too fierce and cruel, so that the people of the two countries were bored and complained, for six years, the whole continent was immersed in the smoke and flames of war, I thought it was a decisive battle that must fight for the king and defeat the king, However, because Emperor Xiang was moved by the female general who led the army, the two countries finally negotiated and ended the most cruel beacon fire in hundreds of years in a friendly way. The woman who is kind, her name is Auntie, she is Su Su yours, her great-grandmother. ”

Yue's eyes widened violently, and Tilian lost her voice, "Auntie! Dad, don't make it up to bluff me, Auntie Qing is the queen of Emperor Xiang, she was posthumously named Empress Ruijia, the Holy Mother of Ansheng after her death, and she is the only woman in the history of Xia Lan who entered the mausoleum with the emperor's funeral, she did not leave a son and a half daughter for Emperor Xiang in her life, this is one of the most regrettable things in the history of Xia Lan, how can it be related to me! ”

"Lian'er." , Xie Hengxu frowned and whispered, tightly clasped her tightened hand, and whispered softly, "You listen slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Auntie Xu's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, slightly condensed, and continued, "Auntie Qing is gifted and intelligent, can write poetry and ink at the age of three, can ride a war horse at the age of five, and will study the military book thoroughly at the age of seven, and can go to war at the age of eight to command the soldiers, at the age of twelve he wears armor, and at the age of fifteen he was awarded the title of a first-class general to protect the country, and he has been famous all over the world since then." This continent has been established since the two dynasties, except for the founding queen of Xia Lan, she is the only female general who transports troops like a god. She has been admired by the world for her life, and her only regret is that she sacrificed her happiness for her family and country, and she was not able to stay with her beloved. She and her relatives were nineteen years old that year, Emperor Xiang for her vacant palace concubine after a single favor, Ying Yuan twenty-four years, Chang Qing gave birth to a son, that is, the early death of the Cheng and the prince, should be twenty-six years, Cheng Qing gave birth to a daughter, but unfortunately the child was born and died, this woman is the royal jade disc contained in the princess Jikang. ”

At this point, Tillian probably guessed what was going to happen next.

Xie Hengxu glanced at Aunt Xu, and then continued to speak, "Princess Jikang died prematurely, and Queen Ji was grief-stricken. Emperor Xiang was silent and sad for nearly three years, and within three years he suffered from heart disease, and he became ruthless and ruthless, as if he had no heart, until someone reported that Princess Jikang did not die by herself, but someone harmed her, Emperor Xiang was furious and ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, and for a time the entire capital was panicked, and many concubines and princes were given to die for a while, and even their foreign families were ordered to be raided and exterminated, and the Song family was dismissed at that time. ”

The quiet moon eyes were clear and waveless, and Tilian looked at him and whispered, "You want to sue me that Princess Jikang is not dead, but was escorted out of the palace by the people trusted by the queen, and she was exiled to the people to survive in peace." ”

Xie Hengxu sighed, nodded slightly, and his dark voice was a little hoarse, "Princess Jikang did not die, but was secretly raised by the Xie family, she is your maternal grandmother, and your mother is not my aunt, but the daughter of Princess Jikang and her beloved. ”

Isn't Mrs. Xie her maternal grandmother? Tillian shook her head vigorously, her face was slightly pale, "No, no, I am very similar to my mother, and I am also six points similar to my grandmother, you lied to me!" ”

"Lian'er." Xie Hengxu's face darkened slightly, he got up and hugged her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I can't believe that my grandfather and grandmother, who have been in love for decades, are not as in love as we see." Grandfather, the love of his life, is Princess Jikang, so he married his grandmother just because she has a similar appearance to Princess Jikang. ”

Di Lian looked at Xie Hengxu in a daze, only feeling that her thoughts were blank and her heart was dull, over the years, Mrs. Xie's natural doting love for her was so real, she must have regarded Xie Lanzhi as her own daughter and herself as her own grandson.

But the facts were dissected and turned out to be so unbearable, the majestic and arrogant Mrs. Xie is the most pitiful person. (To be continued.) )
