"Did you ask anything?" He stood quietly in front of the window, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, the tea was clear tea, nothing was added, but it was fragrant and rich, better than the Xu You tea he had drunk before.

This tea is said to be roasted, and recently it suddenly appeared in the market in Gangnam, and it quickly won numerous praises. In particular, tea merchants are very good at grasping people's hearts, for those wealthy aristocrats, launched a luxurious top packaging, it is said that a pound of tea, after the ingenious packaging, actually sold to a sky-high price of 16,800 yuan, but there is still a price out of the market, if you want to buy, you have to book. For a time, the wealthy families in Jiangdong rushed to buy this new tea called dragon tongue, making this tea a new favorite of the upper class society in Jiangnan recently, and another toy for the open and secret struggle between the high families. Even his governor's office has recently received a lot of this kind of tea, which is said to be hard to find. Although this tea is too expensive, he has to admit that after drinking it, he fell in love with it. Not only does the tea taste very good, but the packaging has really taken a lot of thought, celadon bottles and purple clay pots with sandalwood boxes, as well as the unique painting of the tea picker, and the calligraphy of the Wang Youjun font, all of which are worth playing with and collecting, but the tea merchants are used as tea packaging, and the means are really amazing.

Xiao Meiniang also held a purple sand teacup, but at this time, she had no intention of tasting this good fragrant tea. She was a little stunned, and looked at her husband silently, feeling that he seemed familiar and strange. The two have been married since the second year of the emperor's reign, and it has been 16 years now. Even their eldest son, Yang Zhao, officially married the daughter of Cui Hongdu, the head of the march, and the daughter of Cui Hongsheng, the younger brother of the marching commander, and Cui Hongsheng, the Shangzhu State, as the princess of Henan. In the blink of an eye, although the years have not left any traces on her, she is also thirty-two years old this year, two years older than her husband, and she will soon become a grandmother. But she still feels like she doesn't know her husband sometimes.

For example, a few days ago, she never knew that her husband had an illegitimate child named Yi Feng outside before marrying her.

The first time she heard about this matter, when she heard this name, Xiao Meiniang's whole body stiffened, and there was a surge of anger in her heart.

Xiao Meiniang is the princess of Houliang, but Houliang is just a small court in a corner of peace, and the Southern Liang almost collapsed when Hou Jing's rebellion was encountered, and finally the land of Jiangdong was occupied by Chen Baxian, and the Xiao family took refuge in Jiangling to establish a small court of Houliang. It is completely dependent on the protection of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to survive, and in fact, it is a puppet of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so that the princess of the court is not noble. What's more, because she was born in February, she was even sent out of the palace when she was very young, and she grew up in her uncle's family, which was not too good, and she did not have fine clothes and food, but on the contrary, she often worked herself. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Sui wanted to choose a princess of Houliang as a concubine for King Jin in order to win over the wealthy families in Jiangnan, and none of the other princesses of Houliang was suitable for King Jin's birthday, it would not be her turn to become the princess of Jin.

Xiao Meiniang, who has such a background, has long known that it is common for men of high-ranking nobles to raise illegitimate children outside the house, let alone people with such status as King Jin. I think that today's crown prince Yang Yong and his favorite Yun Zhaoxun first met outside the palace, and even gave birth to Yang Yan, the current king of Changning, outside the palace, and finally took the Yun family, who is only the daughter of a craftsman and the illegitimate daughter of a craftsman, back to the palace. She was angry that her husband had never mentioned it to her, and she hadn't thought of it at all.

When they got married, she was sixteen and her husband was only fourteen, who would have thought that only a husband of this age would already have an illegitimate child outside? But now that I think about it, I was a little careless at the time. How many children of high-ranking families, not all of them have been twelve or thirteen years old, and the family has begun to arrange big girls to help them with personnel. I want my husband to be the prince of Yanmen County at the age of twelve, and he was named the king of Jin at the age of thirteen, and when he got married at the age of fourteen, he was already tall and mighty, and he was suave. Most of the children of the Guanlong nobles learned to bow horses since childhood, and they were obviously more precocious than the children of Jiangnan. I didn't think it was surprising that I had communicated with people earlier. After all, many aristocratic men were married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it was impossible for them to be ignorant of the affairs of men and women until they got married.

But the husband never told him that he had an illegitimate child outside before marriage.

A few days ago, the guards of the palace brought back a woman named Ji Yao, and her husband took a fancy to this woman. At first, she thought that her husband had taken a fancy to this woman's young beauty, and she thought it was a little strange. After all, firstly, the father and the queen mother are the most disdainful of the princes' favorite concubines, and secondly, the husband is indeed not very feminine, he has too many things to do, and he does not spend much energy in this regard. In addition to her, there are also several concubines in the palace of the King of Jin, such as the two princesses of Nanchen who were rewarded to the King of Jin after Ping Chen, and the sister of the county lord Xiao who came from Nanliang like her, but usually her husband rarely goes over, and it is impossible to suddenly fall in love with a young foreign woman.

However, the husband handed the woman over to her, saying that he wanted her to take it with him and find a way to probe her. Under her questioning, her husband finally told the reason. This woman named Ji Yao is related to a man named Yi Feng, and the man named Yi Feng is likely to be his illegitimate son who was lost sixteen years ago.

Sixteen years ago, it was the year they got married, the second year of the emperor's reign.

This incident hurt her deeply, she never thought that in the year they got married, her husband's illegitimate children would be two years old.

The husband only revealed this, saying that Ji Yao was likely to know Yi Feng's whereabouts, and Yi Feng was very likely to be the son he lost back then, and also said that Yi Feng might be in danger now, so she could find a way to get close to Ji Yao, so as to inquire about Yi Feng's whereabouts. But as for who Yi Feng's biological mother was, and why Yi Feng lost it back then, he didn't say a word.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Xiao Meiniang has been trying her best to quietly inquire about the affairs of the year among some old people in the Jin Palace. There are some old people in the Jin Palace, who have followed their husbands since they were not married. But what surprised her was that no one had heard that King Jin had ever had an illegitimate child outside, let alone that this illegitimate child was lost sixteen years ago. Speaking of the past more than ten years ago, there was an old female steward, saying that a major event happened in Daxing City before the marriage of King Jin, when the crown princess Yuan took her son home to save her relatives, the road encountered a snowstorm, suffered a car accident, and the prince and the princess's sister-in-law fell out of the car and was trampled to death by a frightened horse. According to the steward's recollection, the emperor's grandson's name was Yang Lin, and as soon as he was born, he was extremely loved by the two saints in the palace, and was even called the emperor's grandson by the saint himself. She still remembers that after the accident of the imperial grandson, the crown princess was depressed and unhappy, and since then she has been at odds with the prince, and the two saints in the palace are even more sad and angry, severely punishing a large number of people, and later even issued a gag order to strictly prohibit mentioning the untimely emperor and grandson. So much so that later, many people didn't know that the prince and the princess had a very popular son-in-law with the second saint.

This result made her even more puzzled, how many things were hidden in the second year of the emperor's reign, why the old people in the Jin Palace's mansion didn't know about her husband's illegitimate son, and even a member of the royal family like her didn't know that the prince had a concubine with the princess Yuan in addition to the ten concubines, and even won the love of the two saints.

Yi Feng and Yang Lin, why did these two brothers die early?

That night, she plucked up the courage to ask her husband in person in bed.

Then, it was the first time in the sixteen years that the two had been married, and her husband, who had always been gentle, blackened her face.

"Never ask this question again." His tone was as cold as ice, "Don't mention the things of the past to anyone again, you just need to know that Yi Feng is my flesh and blood." Xiao Meiniang was a little frightened at the time, and she promised him that she would never mention it again in the future.

No matter who this Yi Feng is or why he has such a name, it doesn't matter. Obviously, Yi Feng is very important in the eyes of her husband, and seeing that he cares so much about this illegitimate child, it shows that he may have deeper feelings for Yi Feng's biological mother.

"This girl is very vigilant, I tried hard to get closer to her, and tried several times to find out about Yi Feng, but she pretended not to know. But I can tell that she knows Yi Feng and definitely knows each other. Xiao Meiniang said, "Maybe give me some more time, I can try to get closer to her." Or, why didn't Your Highness sue her directly, saying that you are Yi Feng's father, maybe things will be much simpler"

"Yi Feng is my son, and this matter cannot be revealed." Yang Guang interrupted him, "He is my son, but after all, he has been separated for many years, and besides, I can't be sure that this Yi Feng is the Yi Feng I am looking for." Also, now is the critical time for us to compete with the crown prince for the throne, and we must not make the father and the queen unhappy because of this matter, you know, the queen mother is the last thing to see such things as spoiling concubines and illegitimate children. ”

"You'll go and ask again tonight, and if she still won't say anything, that's it."

"His Highness plans to give her to Yang Su?" Xiao was a little surprised. This Ji Yao seems to have an unusual relationship with Yi Feng, and may even be Yi Feng's woman. How could her husband give her to Yang Su, if she met Yi Feng in the future, how would she explain this?

"It's just a woman!" Yang Guang's evidence was cold, "It is very important to win Yang Su's support, if things can be successful, in the future, a hundred thousand women who are better than this woman can be given to Yi Feng." ”

Xiao Meiniang was shocked by her husband's eyes, and she couldn't speak for a long time. But she also understood in her heart that there was no turning back when she opened the bow, especially what her husband was doing now, only success and failure were allowed. Once it fails, even if it is the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, it will be the same catastrophe at that time. As her husband said, if that Yi Feng is really the child that her husband lost back then, then at most when things are successful in the future, her husband will double the compensation for him.
