Chapter Twenty-Six: Help
Tang Feng didn't expect that he and Zhou Suizhi would cooperate so tacitly this time, and before she could contact the courtiers here, he had already taken the lead in attacking and completely pulled Song Ren away. She couldn't help but think of what Feng Xianji said, could it be that Zhou Suizhi's wife was really Miss Xu Er? At that time, she just thought that Feng Xianji was cheating her, but now it seems to be somewhat credible.
The Xu family has been a general for generations, and it can be said that they are loyal to southern Xinjiang. His clansmen, both men and women, can fight on horses, and they are the leading generals in southern Xinjiang, and they are also very beautiful families back then. In the last battle between Great Xia and Southern Xinjiang, almost all the children of the Xu family died on the battlefield, and they truly achieved the horse leather shroud. In Tang Feng's memory, Miss Xu Er also participated in the last battle with her father and brother, and her name was also written on it when the battle report came.
That night, Tang Feng did not go to bed early after copying the Buddhist scriptures, but sat in the study and waited for someone.
At the end of the day, the begonias arrived as scheduled.
"How?" Tang Feng couldn't help but get up for the first time, and looked at Haitang anxiously, "Can you inquire about the result?" ”
Haitang is still the same, reached out and took out a painting from her arms, patted it in front of Tang Feng, she said, "You asked me to check Zhou Suizhi, but his foundation is too clean and there is nothing suspicious, only this one, you will understand it when you see it." ”
Begonia's tone was a little deeper, losing its previous liveliness and frivolity, and it sounded a little depressed.
Tang Feng seemed to realize something, hurriedly unfolded the painting she brought, and after seeing it completely, she was stunned on the spot.
"We all thought she was dead, but we didn't expect her to be like you, sneaking into the capital of Great Xia all these years, and having children with the courtiers." Begonia's voice was a little hoarse, and her words were not as fluent as usual, as if she was suppressing some emotion.
Tang Feng looked at the painting in front of him, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"It's really her, it's really her......" She trembled a little as she pinched the drawing paper, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
Eight-year-old Feng Yu is not easy to recognize, because the child has not opened, even if he has seen it before, he can connect Feng Yu and Tang Feng. But the thirteen-year-old Xu Er is very recognizable, when she followed her father and brother to the battlefield, she was already a young general who could defeat ten with one enemy, and her eyebrows and eyes had already matured, even in the past seventeen years, it would not change much.
Tang Feng fell back to the chair in frustration, and after a moment, she lowered her head, covered her face with drawing paper, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
Tang Feng didn't know whether Xu Er should be happy or sad if she was alive. After all these years of crawling in the dark and carrying a heavy load, she has already turned herself beyond recognition. Knowing that Second Sister Xu had lived the same life as herself in the past seventeen years, her heart was like being wrapped in a fine needle in an instant, and she couldn't cry in pain.
They have no home or country, they are exiled and wandered, and they never dare to announce their origins in a dignified manner. But whenever she was awakened at night, she always had a sense of happiness, glad that she had to bear all this. She always felt that her father and mother had been reunited in heaven, and her brothers and sisters might have been reincarnated, and those people in southern Xinjiang who were affected by the war no longer had to leave their homeland and be chased by the war. When she thought about it like this, she was relieved, she came to avenge their revenge, she complained about their grievances, and it was good that the burden of all this was on her shoulders alone.
But today, when she knew that Second Sister Xu was still alive, she understood that someone was suffering with her in the past seventeen years of pain and resentment.
"Princess......" Begonia unconsciously stepped forward, gently took her in her direction, and let her lean on her.
"I have inquired, Xu Er has not committed to Zhou Suizhi, she has been doing well over the years, and Zhou Suizhi loves her very much." Haitang knew where her heart knot, and softly comforted, "She didn't suffer like you, don't worry......" Speaking of this, Haitang also choked up. is obviously the pearl of the southern Xinjiang royal family, but she has to deal with a man who killed her entire clan for many years, whenever she wakes up at night and sees the enemy's sleeping face, how depressed and painful should she be? She never said this, but it doesn't mean that these people behind her won't think about her and feel sorry for her.
Tang Feng turned around and hugged Begonia's waist. She pressed her face against her waist, her cry crushed to her throat like a wounded little beast.
I don't know how long it took, Tang Feng's emotions finally calmed down.
Haitang personally twisted the veil to wipe her face and asked her, "Do you want to arrange for you to meet?" ”
"Does she know who I am?" Tang Feng asked with red eyes. If not, how could Zhou Suizhi help her? But she thought about it again, Zhou Suizhi didn't know the identity of her and the second sister Xu, did he mind?
Haitang said, "Zhou Suizhi's person is unfathomable. I've bothered to find out more details after so many days, if you want to know more accurate information, you can only find a way to contact Xu Er, she will definitely help you. ”
Tang Feng hesitated a little, "I don't know what Second Sister Xu thinks, if she has lived comfortably and happily all these years, I don't want to bother her anymore." ”
"The hatred of the country and the family, she will definitely not leave it behind." Haitang said firmly, "Who is she?" Xu Er, a female general who can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen, will she put down our hatred and live with Zhou Suizhi in peace! ”
Tang Feng smiled bitterly: "I hope she will." At least...... Some of us are truly happy. "The scene of chasing and laughing in the palace is still vivid, and many of the girls and teenagers running and frolicking in the garden have long been hidden in the ground with a handful of loess, and she and the second sister Xu are still alive.
Haitang was speechless, and couldn't speak for a while.
Yes, they all hope that the people of southern Xinjiang will engrave the hatred of destroying the country in their hearts and never get along with the people of Daxia. But this is not the case, after Southern Xinjiang was conquered by Great Xia, it has long been included in the territory of Great Xia, and the southern Xinjiang people and the Great Xia people have been integrated in the past seventeen years. Except for those who have experienced the hatred of life and death, who will remember these old stories? Who would let these occasional dregs affect the peaceful days of today?
Tang Feng has long accepted the rules of the game. On the point that Great Xia destroyed southern Xinjiang, she could only admit that her country was too weak to resist Great Xia, whose military strength was far superior to hers. What she has been unable to let go of all these years is the fact that Great Xia killed the surrendered southern Xinjiang royal family. It was Emperor Xian who gave the order to slaughter, it was Song Ren who wrote to Emperor Xian to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and it was Xu Hua who negotiated between the two countries to deceive the royal family into surrendering to save his life...... She didn't let go of any of them.
Tang Feng flattened the portrait in his hand, gently stroked the woman's heroic eyebrows, and said in an indescribably soft tone, "See her." "If she wants to find an old person to talk about the terroir of her hometown, she will wait patiently here, and if she does not want to be broken the peaceful life, then they care for each other from afar.
The Xu family has done too much for the royal family and the people of Southern Xinjiang, and they are worthy of anyone. Xu Er was happy no matter how she chose.
Begonia hugged her and was full of emotion. Those who say that the princess is insidious and vicious are because they have not seen such a side of her, and she is obviously gentle enough to turn a hard and cold heart into a soft cloud in the sky.

Zhou Xiangfu
Mrs. Zhou, who is also the second Miss Xu in their mouths, is also looking for a suitable reason and scene to meet her princess. She knew that with the princess's shrewdness and carefulness, she would definitely be able to see that this matter was fueled by Zhou Suizhi from behind. But she wasn't sure if the princess would be able to target her, or if she was just suspicious of Zhou Suizhi.
Seeing that his wife was so entangled, Zhou Suizhi naturally couldn't sit idly by. Kindly appeased her and told her that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was a good time, and the imperial concubine would return to the palace from Xiaoling for one night to observe the New Year with the emperor, and then officials above the fifth rank could bring their relatives inside.
"Didn't the little emperor stop him?"
"The first emperor has just died, and he still doesn't dare to hang his mother in Xiaoling for the festival."
Xu Er breathed a sigh of relief and finally sat down calmly. When she saw her husband looking at her with concern, her heart warmed, she held his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I won't be abducted by the princess." ”
Zhou Suizhi shook his head, "It's okay, if you run, I'll follow you." ”
"What about the kids?" Xu Erren smiled.
Zhou Suizhi has the momentum of a strict father, "The big one can already go out and stand on his own, and the small one can barely follow him." ”
They have been married for more than 10 years, the eldest is eight years old and the other is five years old, and they are both skin monkeys who climb trees to catch birds and go down to the river to catch fish. It stands to reason that a child taught by a literati like Zhou Suizhi should not be a bear child with a tiger head, but he can't stand a lady at home who can use eighteen weapons, and the children are a little crooked.
Xu Er couldn't help laughing, snuggled sideways into her husband's arms, hugged his waist and said, "Being a father is really much more ruthless." ”
"No way, the tree doesn't go straight if it's not pruned."
"Huh?"
"Of course, it's not that the lady doesn't teach well, it's that their own qualifications are too poor." Zhou Suizhi's iron mouth was broken.
Xu Er squinted his eyes and listened to the weird. Although she didn't say that she taught her children badly, she always felt that "her qualifications were too poor" and that it was her reason. It can't be the reason why he, the Tanhualang of the year, is now the second assistant of the cabinet, right?
She didn't ask, and if she asked, Zhou Sui categorically put the "pot" on his own head. Over the years, she has been indulged by him to the point that she can't find the north.
——
Soon, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the little emperor really sent a car to take Tang Feng back to the palace. Although it was not as good as the six horses she used to drive back then, but under the eaves, he didn't use a green sedan chair to welcome her.
When they arrived at the Taihe Palace, everyone watched the familiar woman step in from outside the palace gate, not only sighed in their hearts that this year, the emperor has changed, but it is still her who can attend such an occasion in the harem.
