Chapter 5 Who is the Mother?
The sky was dotted with stars, and a full moon floated in the clouds.
As the night grew heavier, the bright full moon was shrouded in layers of mist, never to be seen again.
At this time, there were still a few lights in the Wensi Courtyard of Ning Palace, and stacks of gray and yellow books were placed around the desks.
Several of the books were a little messy, apparently being flipped.
A cardamom woman in a crimson palace dress sat in front of her, quickly fiddling through a dossier covered with words. The clear eyes were faintly bloody because of fatigue.
This woman is none other than Qin Yuanxi herself.
And what I am reading in my hand is the "History of Daning Kingdom" compiled over the years.
said that it is the history of the country, but in fact, most of it is made up of the emperor's daily life, and the remaining half is the state affairs and political affairs of Daning.
"It's really strange, the Ning Dynasty has only been around for more than thirty years, how can it not even be found that little thing......
Qin Yuanxi opened his lips and muttered softly, he had already discarded this book in his hand, and then picked up another one and opened it slightly.
Because of the boredom in my heart, the speed is much happier at this time.
It was only three pages long, but she was attracted by a few lines of words on the paper:
"Emperor Wen, every time I talk to my closest relatives, I am called me, and King Ning is pampered. When he tried to argue with the king, he was angry and said, "You are angry with me, and you are afraid of this king?" Whoever dares to call me in the future, it will turn against you, I am the emperor, and you should be the king of Ning. Shang said with a smile: 'When the time comes, I am the king of Ning, and I will knock on the door of your bedroom every night to disturb your tranquility'. ”
"It's funny, I didn't expect my aunt, who has always been serious, to have such a funny time to lose her temper." Qin Yuanxi pursed his lips and smiled.
After reading this page twice, her eyebrows were always curved, but she suddenly remembered what she was doing here, and she hurriedly turned it over again.
The smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared, but it was the woman's anger that immediately rose, "Damn, why are there all these trivial matters, why is it so troublesome to find a birthday." ”
The three candles on the table are already tears rolling on the golden platform, indicating the passage of time and the depth of the night.
Qin Yuanxi's back was still straight, lined with three-point candlelight, dancing lightly with the firelight, revealing a faint gray and black on the dim hall wall not far away.
……
There was a palace maid guarding the door, looking at the hall from time to time, and inadvertently hiding her face and yawning, with a burst of helpless sighs.
Following a sharp gaze, a few more columns of small characters appeared on the neat yellow rice paper, and Qin Yuanxi's attention suddenly focused.
There was a maid in the ----- palace, Li, and on that day, the heir was drunk and invaded. The emperor was angry and chased away the cold palace, so far no one cared.
At the beginning of the winter of the twenty-third year of Yuanqing, at the beginning of the night, Li died of illness in Qinghan Palace.
At the moment of the morning, the corpse gave birth to a daughter, known to the palace attendants, and reported to the emperor.
The emperor was anxious, and then got a baby, gave the name Lingyue, and entrusted the crown princess Wen to raise him, thinking that he was his biological mother.
"Great!"
"But I found it!"
Qin Yuanxi got up suddenly, the tiredness on his face completely dissipated, and the endless joy and relief that followed.
The wide and heavy snow lotus skirt on her body spread out with her slender figure, and the yellowing candle flame was like a water lily blooming.
"That dead girl is really as I expected, not my mother's own."
"It's really hateful, but a nameless servant, robbed my eldest sister of the love in front of the imperial grandmother, not to mention, the county lord is broad-minded and let her sister, as the county lord, dare to be so casual and arrogant, thinking about it, I am angry, I don't know why the imperial grandmother, who has always been wise and well-known, protects her so much."
Qin Yuanxi bit his red lips, and secretly felt a different jealousy in his heart.
Or... Yes, disgust......
The current crown prince Qin Qichuan, who is also her father, has seven children, of which four daughters are daughters.
Maybe it's because the prince's mother raises and takes care of several grandchildren, Qin Yuanxi and his younger sister and brother are very well-behaved and sensible, and there are also a few young and talented among them.
But these good princes and princesses came out with such an arrogant and domineering freak as Qin Lingyue, which made Qin Yuanxi's eldest sister feel distressed all day.
Hate the son? No, in fact, it should be a little jealous.
Why should such a person snatch a sense of existence in front of her grandmother.
But in the end, Qin Lingyue is her sister-in-law with the same father and mother, no matter how angry she is, she can only sulk in her stomach.
It doesn't work.
A royal grandmother, an aunt and grandmother, plus her father, as the eldest sister, she should look like the eldest sister.
She really didn't dare to move...
Fortunately, Qin Yuanxi accidentally learned some different remarks about her sister from elsewhere before.
It is said that Qin Lingyue's biological mother was not her mother's concubine, but died before she was born.
Yes, it was born to die.
According to hearsay, Qin Yuanxi never believed it, but she was just about her very unpleasant sister, and finally decided to believe it.
She should also believe it, and there is still a little suspicious thing about it, that is, the birth dates of several people.
Yuanqing was born in the twenty-first year of his own life...
Yuan Qing's twenty-second brother Qin Han...
Qin Lingyue in the twenty-third year of Yuanqing......
The mother concubine is so frequent that she is pregnant with a sow...... Phew, this birth is the same as a birthday, a year to play?
Although it is not impossible in terms of time, why is Qin Yuanxi suspicious?
You must know that her father had a very strong relationship with her mother before marrying her mother, and a woman's birth is like crossing the ghost gate, how can her father not let her mother give birth to a child?
What's more, her imperial grandmother also knew that a woman's childbirth was very consuming to her body, and even her daughter waited until her twenties to get married.
For his daughter-in-law, Qin Yuanxi didn't believe that the emperor's grandmother didn't have a heart of love.
With this level of suspicion, to investigate whether Qin Lingyue was born, it was good to ask her mother or father, but if the imperial grandmother really deliberately concealed Qin Lingyue's life that year, it was obviously not easy to ask.
Qin Yuanxi thought about it, and after confirming the authenticity of those bad remarks, he came to Wensi Academy, the place where the history of the dynasty and the emperor's living notes were placed.
Even though these secrets were hidden from outsiders and even the royal family, the birth dates of the royal heirs were recorded.
Therefore, Qin Yuanxi finally spent a lot of time finding the truth tonight.
Carefully arranging the files and books on the table, the corners of his mouth were already filled with a wishful smile.
Now it's okay, not only is Qin Lingyue not a sister-in-law, but her mother is just a vicious and nameless maid who died early, which is the biggest point in Qin Yuanxi's hands.
No matter how much she is the prince's daughter, if Qin Yuanxi deliberately provokes, it will be too easy.
As an emperor, no matter how kind the imperial grandmother treats people, the kind of slave who designed her father to seek an heir will not be able to see it.
Not only my grandmother, but also my father, but also the rest of the people. But the slave and maid were lucky, and when they died, they brought out a daughter.
It is reasonable to be reasonable, the mother is guilty, and the offspring is not guilty, and in the end, for the growth of the baby, he can only be raised by someone for the time being.
But Qin Yuanxi doesn't care about her mother's sins now, whether her daughter is her sister or not, anyway, it blocked her final purpose, Qin Yuanxi took action to punish her father.
She's not ruthless, but she can't stand a sister bouncing around in front of her eyes.
It's time to teach your sister how to respect her elders and follow the rules.
She turned over a lot of books on the table, and Qin Yuanxi never called her maid at the door, and quietly sorted it out by herself.
Until all the books returned to their original places, before I knew it, another stick of incense time had passed.
Qin Yuanxi once again set his eyes on the four books left in front of him.
Suddenly, with an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, his eyebrows jumped fiercely.
"No matter what happens in the future, today should be the starting point of this county lord."
Carefully put all the books into the placket of the upper shirt and wrapped it, blowing out the last light at the corner of the table, Qin Yuanxi took one last look at the hall, picked up the lantern and walked to the door.
