Prime Minister Deng has two daughters, one is Deng Junqi, who is a concubine, and the other is Deng Xiang, who was born to his mother Zhang, and he usually rests at Zhang's place, so he sees Deng Xiang frequently.

But now these two daughters are really different, Deng Xiang is spoiled by the Zhang family arrogantly, relying on herself to be a concubine lawless, playing all day long, and not thinking of making progress.

But Deng Junqi is completely different from her, she knows her identity as a concubine, so she usually doesn't go out of her aunt's yard much, works as a female worker at home, reads poetry and books, and occasionally plays with caution.

"It's Dad who didn't protect you." Prime Minister Deng lowered his head slightly, and his voice was a little choked.

"Dad, don't say that, my daughter is already very content." Deng Junqi was completely panicked, she knew that today's father was different from usual, but she didn't expect it to be so different.

"Actually, you weren't born to your aunt." Prime Minister Deng took a deep breath and sighed: "I told you now that I was afraid that you would be sad, but I have to say it now." ”

"What?" Deng Junqi was stunned for a moment, a little unacceptable, and a stiff smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Are you kidding me?" ”

"Not a joke." Prime Minister Deng glanced at Deng Junqi, and said: "Your biological mother was the county lord of a small border country, and that year the emperor sent me to the envoy, and we met, I was on the mission for five years, and we fell in love for a long time, just as I was about to marry her home, the relationship between the two countries suddenly became bad, and I was forced to return to China, and she did not strictly prohibit any contact with me, so ...... We had to separate. ”

If the two countries are on good terms, the marriage between the countries is the icing on the cake, but if the relationship between the two countries is bad, the marriage will inevitably be opposed by the royal family and even the whole country.

"It's not that Dad didn't want to take your mother away from home, but there are too many worries around us, her parents are in the hands of the royal family, and my relatives are also in the imperial capital, we can't put our relatives in danger for our own selfish desires."

"I know, Dad." Deng Junqi nodded.

Prime Minister Deng smiled with relief, and sighed: "Later, I wanted to wait for the relationship between the two countries to ease up a bit, and then mention this matter with the emperor, but the two countries saw that the conflict of interests was getting bigger and bigger, and other countries were obstructing it, and even a war might break out. ”

"And then!" Deng Junqi began to accept this fact, and couldn't help asking, "Can my mother marry her?" Where is it now"?

Prime Minister Deng shook his head, "I don't know any of this, but not long after my letter was sent, a wandering Taoist priest came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and handed you over to me, you were only more than two years old at the time, and you still had your mother's hairpin on your body, she didn't leave me any words, but I knew she wanted me to take good care of you......"

Deng Junqi was silent, unmarried and pregnant, which was a great shame for a woman, but her mother not only did not abandon her, but gave birth to her, which shows that her mother really loves her father.

Prime Minister Deng didn't know what was at stake, he hung his head in annoyance, and was quiet for a long time before he spoke: "I know that Zhang's temperament is domineering, you are not her biological child, if you are fostered under her name, life will be difficult, although it is a concubine, but compared to these fathers, I hope that you can grow up happily, and do not be constrained by the secular framework in the future, to pursue what you want to do." ”

"So my father rarely meets me and doesn't care much about me, just so that I don't attract the attention of the Zhang family?" Deng Junqi understood that her father had always loved her.

Prime Minister Deng smiled lovingly, and softened Deng Junqi's head dotingly, "But Dad still didn't expect that even so, the Zhang family still thought about you, and it was Dad who failed to protect you." ”

Deng Junqi shook her head, "What's the matter, Dad is already good enough for Qi'er!" ”

She knew that the wife of this powerful minister was either given by the royal family himself, or it was finalized by the elders of the clan, and the wife chosen not only matched by the family, but also married at one point, the two families would be inextricably linked, and the whole body would be affected by a single hair, and the wife should not be easily divorced.

But now that her father is willing to seek justice for herself, and does not hesitate to go against the entire family, what is she not satisfied with?

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I will hand over the Zhang family to the elders of the family to deal with, and it will make trouble for the emperor, she will not end well, as for your aunt......"

Prime Minister Deng is not a fool, if Deng Junqi's aunt really really protects her, Deng Junqi will never be harmed, but it is obvious that the aunt is obviously in the same boat as the Zhang family in this matter.

"My aunt is also forced to do so, forget it, Dad, she has raised me for so long after all."

At first, Deng Junqi felt that her life experience was unbelievable because she couldn't accept the fact that her aunt was not her own mother, and for so many years of living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, her aunt has always been very good to herself, no different from her own child, everything is for her sake, and even thought about using her family relationship to help her find a good marriage, which is already benevolent and righteous for an adoptive mother.

She smiled with relief, "My aunt has a child, she is still a boy, if she doesn't help Zhang's family, Zhang's family will not let my aunt's child survive, I understand all this, I am not her biological child after all." ”

Deng Junqi thought that a large part of the reason why her aunt was so good to herself before was because she was her only reliance in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Deng was silent, and finally nodded, "Okay, Dad listens to you." ”

……

On the other side, Sinan walked all the way to the palace after coming out of the main hall of the previous morning, she wanted to go back and make up for a good night's sleep, she stayed up almost all night last night, and her dark circles were about to come out, who knew that she was stopped by the people beside the prince halfway through.

"Miss Sinan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to talk about the East Palace."

The guard's tone couldn't help but say, there was no room for refusal, and Sinan knew that this trip was a must.

East Palace.

Walking along the long vermilion corridor, Song Yixian is sitting in the small pavilion in the center of the lake drinking tea and watching the scenery, and the picture is very comfortable.

The palace people led her to the small pavilion and left, Sinan raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Yixian, and teased: "The puppet prince is quite comfortable, I really don't understand, what is the use of you having to have that real power, isn't it fragrant to eat and drink in the East Palace all day?" ”

Song Yixian smiled, "If it's really like what you said, where is the man's revenge?" What is the future of the country? ”

Sinan was speechless, she was a person who was brainwashed by the thoughts of contemporary stinky young women, her lifelong pursuit was to live a leisurely life like a salted fish, she had planned to do well in modern times, and when her father and grandfather let her become independent from the army, she traveled around by herself and lived a free life......

She sighed, said that she didn't want to conspire with each other and didn't bother to argue with Song Yixian, and asked instead, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"I heard that the prime minister's matter was resolved this morning, and it's all your credit." He went straight to the point and got straight to the point, "Did you tell Deng Junqi?" ”

Sinan raised her eyebrows slightly, she really likes this way of chatting, what to say, don't beat around the bush, guess and guess.

"Yes, but it will take some time to convince the prime minister, give her a few more days."

"It's fine." Song Yixian is not an unreasonable person, and he can also use the identity of a puppet prince to live in the deep palace for so long, which is enough to see how strong this person's forbearance skills are.

"And what are you going to do now?" He asked, and poured a cup of tea for Si Nan, "Are you going back, or continue to take it in the Land of Water for a while." ”

Sinan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "These things are not for the prince to worry about, I have my own purpose for staying here, this prince doesn't also know, you just need to know that this purpose is harmless to the country of water, and it is enough to be harmless to you, and I don't want to say anything else." ”

After saying that, she put down the teacup, turned around and waved her hand, "See you another day, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Song Yixian smiled slightly, and raised his glass to Sinan's back, "See you another day." ”
