Xiang Yeqi naturally remembers...... There is such a thing as a sister in the original owner, but how many there are and what are they called, which is another matter.

For example, a family with red walls and green tiles like Xiangfu attaches much less importance to the concubine than the concubine, and it is strictly disciplined, and before getting married, almost no one is seen, even the sister of Xiang Yeqi is no exception.

I met one of them by chance, it was Xiang Yeqi who had just been fished out of the pool, and happened to meet a cousin who played the piano until his fingers were bloody and blurred, but he was still very numb to change the medicine.

"It's not that I made it my heart to let them climb your high branches, it's just that your father left early, and your uncles really don't have anything to do, so there's no way around it. Therefore, if you meet any dignitaries and want to take a concubine, or want to marry their heirs, you must remember to introduce them to them. ”

The old lady broke her heart for her heirs, although most of the time, it was indescribably counterproductive.

"They are indeed not as smart as you, but there are so many children in the Xiang family, how can you find a second one if you are as smart? It's not like looking for a needle in a haystack, but this one by one, it's not inferior to the ordinary Miss Gaomen, and her appearance is two or three points worse than you, four or five points, and the most important thing is to be empathetic and talented. ”

Xiang Yeqi could hear that Xiang Old Lady's idea was serious, otherwise with Xiang Old Lady's arrogant temperament, she would not have held herself so high.

didn't step on two feet, it was the last conscience of the old lady.

"Grandmother, it's not that I don't want to help you with this, it's really Your Majesty now...... Check these things closely. Xiang Yeqi pretended to drag the chair mysteriously and approached the old lady for a few minutes, "Because some adults have many concubines, they are suspected of corruption and bribery by His Majesty, and they are being investigated. At a time like this, even if someone dares to take a concubine, wouldn't it hurt them to send my sisters over? ”

Xiang Yeqi moved out this secret news of the court, and was so frightened that the old lady gasped, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked to confirm: "What you say, can you take it seriously?" If you don't want to agree to this, that's it, but you must not bluff me with this! ”

"Look at what you said, what am I doing to lie to you about this kind of thing? If I don't want to help you do this, wouldn't it be better if I just agreed and didn't take it seriously? I can trick you into trusting me, liking me, and not having to do anything. ”

In this way, Mrs. Xiang was really coaxed by Xiang Yeqi clearly, and sighed sadly: "It's a pity, I'm afraid that the marriage of your younger sisters has to be opened slowly." Thanks to you for reminding me, this is a mess! ”

Xiang Yeqi smiled knowingly, and moved the chair a little closer: "Grandmother, can I ask you something?" ”

"What's going on, it's so mysterious?"

Old lady Xiang was still immersed in the emotion of being pulled by Xiang Yeqi, Rao is eyes could see at a glance that Xiang Yeqi didn't have any thoughts that were beneficial to her, and Xiang Old Lady still felt that Xiang Yeqi at this time was particularly pleasing to the eye, so she didn't shirk it: "Anyway, what do you want to ask?" If your grandmother knew, she wouldn't hide it from you. ”

With the permission of the old lady, Xiang Yeqi breathed a sigh of relief, and under the suspicious gaze of the old lady, he pondered for a long time how to ask this question.

And this question that Xiang Feng chose to avoid mentioning as much as possible, will Xiang Lao Madam tell him truthfully.

"Does grandmother know about my mother?"

I don't know if it's because her question to Yeqi is too general, or because the old lady wants to play such a round of Tai Chi with Xiang Yeqi, Xiang Lao Madam paused, and asked, "What's the matter with your mother?" If you don't tell me what it is, how do I know what to tell you? ”

"The cause of my mother's death."

Xiang Yeqi's expression suddenly became solemn, and he was shocked to find that he was in a strange chill, like soaking in an icy pool, so that Xiang Yeqi felt that he was in an illusion for such a moment. But the desolation faded away, replaced by a memory that was strange to the night.

It was probably the memories of the original owner, but what was it about, Xiang Yeqi felt that he had to listen to Xiang Lao's reply for a while.

"What is this for?"

Old Madam Xiang's face looked even more bleak than the situation she had just come from, especially Old Madame's expression looked particularly unnatural: "Who mentioned these things to you?" ”

"I thought of it myself."

Xiang Yeqi took Xiang Feng out very firmly, not daring to waver.

"Is that really what you want to ask?"

The old lady Xiang still looked at Xiang Yeqi's face with suspicion, and when she saw Xiang Yeqian nodding firmly, Xiang Lao Madam opened her mouth a little reluctantly: "The poisonous wine given by the Queen Mother herself, the people next to her want to save her, and they can't compete with the Queen Mother, right?" ”

The reason why she explained a lot of irrelevant past was because she was afraid that if Xiang Yeqi heard this rather cruel fact, she would blame Xiang Fu for not doing it, but hated Shang Xiang Fu, so she took Xiang Fu out from the beginning.

"I know what you said, I want to ask you, why did my mother offend the Queen Mother, and ...... How long did you live? ”

Even Xiang Yeqi felt that his question in the second half was a little ridiculous, but if that memory was wrong, why did it appear in his mind?

"It's just some innocuous crimes, it wouldn't have been so angry that the Queen Mother would have been so angry, let alone give her a glass of poisoned wine......" Xiang Old Lady seemed to remember something, and her face was solemn, "It's because the Queen Mother wants your mother to enter the palace as a concubine, but your mother is arrogant and refuses to enter the palace, and she is in a hurry, so she hastily married your father, how can this not be a good girl?" It's a blessing that it doesn't involve home, it doesn't involve you! ”

Old Madam Xiang hated her daughter-in-law who almost implicated the entire Xiang family, and she didn't hide how disgusted she was for it, and sneered: "The Queen Mother gave her a cup of poisonous wine, but she didn't directly ask for your mother's life. ”

Looking at it this way, the memories that Xiang Yeqi suddenly remembered can be consistent with this past.

In that memory, Xiang Yeqi could see his child-sized palm, and he was holding a piece of lotus cake, and was led to a small courtyard by the maid.

There are a lot of potted plants in the courtyard, vast but not empty, almost every corner is full of delicate small objects, and by the pool there is a rocking chair with his back to him, and the back of a woman dressed in lotus root powder clothes is also reflected in Xiang Ye's eyes at this time.

The man next to the rocking chair held her hand, and the sun and Xi should have been a very warm picture.

But Xiang Yeqi always felt that this represented a farewell.

Xiang Yeqi, who peeped at this memory, didn't seem to be controlled by her own thinking, she could only watch from aside, listening to the man's stubbornness, and said with a smile: "Take Miss back to rest, Madame is tired today, and I will talk to her tomorrow." ”

But the "tomorrow" in this memory, the entire Xiangfu is lifeless, with a single white lantern hanging on the eaves of every place, and even a frost-white paper money hanging on the potted plant.

How desolate.

Out of sympathy for the original owner, or empathy for this memory, Xiang Yeqi doesn't mind letting the Queen Mother know that holding power does not mean that she can do whatever she wants.

"Old lady, the little boy has just woken up."

The maid came to report to the old lady that she recalled Xiang Ye'er's thoughts that she didn't know where she was, and reminded the old lady again: "Heng'er has woken up, stay any longer, I'm afraid it's going to be dark, you take Heng'er first, go back early." ”

"It's fine."

Xiang Yeyan replied in a daze, and when she reacted, Xiang Changheng had already been hugged by the big girl of Xiangfu, so she simply hugged Xiang Changheng in her arms and said goodbye to the old lady: "I'll see you another day." ”

Being able to get so much out of the mouth of the old lady Xiang, Xiang Yeqi was never expected, but after all, she gained a lot, and she was in the right mood.

Walking out of the main gate of Xiangfu, because the weather was still a little hot, before Xiang Yeqi got into the carriage, he first tied up the curtains of the carriage to ventilate.

This happened to be convenient for Xiang Changheng, who was the most curious at this age, and the scenery outside the carriage was a little blurry, so he could poke his head out curiously and point to the candy man stall outside the carriage.

"Do you like it?"

Xiang Yeqi asked.

"I like it."

Xiang Changheng nodded obediently, his eyes were always looking at the street scene that he had missed, and at the little sugar man stall that was almost invisible.

Seeing that there was still some time before it was dark, Xiang Yeqi simply stopped the coachman, turned around and turned back a short distance, hugged Xiang Changheng to the candy man stall, and coaxed people to be happy: "Which one does Changheng like?" Sugar people will have a toothache if they eat too much, if you like it, I'll buy it for you another day, but today, you can pick two. ”

Probably because of the early death of his mother and the fact that his father is often not around, although Xiang Changheng is at an age that even a dog hates, he still interprets the words obedient and sensible to the extreme.

Even if every colorful sugar man in front of him was enough to attract his attention, Xiang Changheng swallowed his saliva, hiding the greed that flashed for a moment in his heart, and after making a choice, he pointed to the two puppy-shaped sugar men that he liked the most: "This, and this, thank you, sister, Heng'er likes my sister the most." ”

Xiang Yeqi handed the copper plate to the smiling vendor, and then took off two puppy candy men of different colors and handed them to Xiang Changheng's left and right hands: "Come." ”

Just holding it in his hand, Xiang Changheng could smell the sweet smell on the sugar man, and once again swallowed his saliva, and handed one of them to Xiang Yeqi's hand to Changheng: "To my sister." ”

If Xiang Yeqi wants to eat, naturally she doesn't need to grab Changheng's top baby, but Xiang Changheng's heart, she can't always shirk it.

But just as she was about to take the sugar man from Xiang Changheng's hand, she was hit on the shoulder and almost fell to the ground......
