The Prince's Mansion, don't look at the Gaomen mansion, but it seems very quiet.

Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather, Xiao Xuanliang, is a very strict person, with three sons and three daughters.

Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather Xiao Zhenjia is Xiao Xuanliang's eldest son, and he bears the name of the son of the world, but he is actually a typical rich idler.

In addition to teasing chickens, walking dogs, and playing with women in his life, he has no other hobbies and specialties.

The only advantage is that playing with women is playing with women, and they can still abide by the family rules, except for giving birth to a son with Tongfang before marriage, after marriage, he only gave birth to a child with the Ruan family in the main room, and there are nearly ten concubines, all of which are out.

Grandpa's second son Xiao Zhendao and his youngest son Xiao Zhenye are both literary generals, except for the Chinese New Year, the triennial return to Beijing, or the birthday of the grandfather, they usually take their families to live in the border city and are not in Beijing.

Xiao Qiongzhi's father Xiao Zhengzhen is the second child born to Ruan, originally, Ruan's had a son in front of him, but unfortunately, he was born with dystocia, his body was weak, and he died of illness at the age of three.

Because of this, Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather and grandmother suspected that the Ruan family would not take the child, and the second elder hugged them to their own side after Xiao Zhengzhen was born.

That is to say, Xiao Zhengzhen was not brought up by his grandmother Ruan, and the mother and son spent less time together and had a lighter relationship.

Thirteen years ago, Xiao Zhengzhen was sent to Dongxingguo by Grandpa Xiao Qiongzhi, and followed the mighty general Su Xianda to go to the Yulan Pass in the west of Dongxingguo to help Dongxingguo defend the border.

Six years ago, the Dongxing Kingdom of Xisai Xidi came to attack, and the emperor of the Dongxing Kingdom, Jiang Haocheng, was full of literary talents and martial arts strategies, and he was worried that he had nowhere to fully display it, so he took the opportunity to lead the troops to recruit in person and smash the Yellow Dragon.

Originally, everything was going smoothly, but at the moment when Xidi was defeated and sued for peace, and was forced to sign an unequal agreement with Dongxing to compensate for the city, gold and silver treasures, etc., the close ministers around Emperor Xidi actually played the trick of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin, trying to see the poor dagger.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhengzhen, who was by Jiang Haocheng's side at the time, reacted quickly and pushed Jiang Haocheng away in time to avoid the fatal sword of the close minister, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Afterwards, Jiang Haocheng thanked Xiao Zhengzhen for saving his life and asked him what kind of reward he wanted.

Jiang Haocheng has been in Yulan for more than three years, and has never had the opportunity to go home to visit Xiao Qiongzhi, who was less than two years old at the time.

He replied without hesitation: I have been missing my beloved daughter a lot lately, and now that the border is peaceful, I just want to return to China, and I often stay by my daughter's side and watch her grow up healthy and happy.

It is a tradition for the Lanling Xiao family to favor their daughters, and everyone knows it.

Jiang Hao was happy and immediately agreed.

However, Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather made a rule that all his grandchildren must be adults and have been trained in other countries for more than five years before they are allowed to return to Beijing to live permanently.

Therefore, Jiang Hao did not break the rules, arranged for Xiao Zhengzhen to be the ceremonial ceremony of Dongxing State, and authorized him to be a non-major festival and banquet celebration, and he did not need to go to the court.

Since then, Xiao Zhengzhen has basically stayed in Daxiao to live, and it is very convenient to accompany Chen Lingfeng and Xiao Qiongzhi.

After giving birth to Xiao Zhengzhen, the Ruan family also gave birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter is called Xiao Mingzhu and the son is Xiao Zhengguang.

Among these two people, Xiao Zhengguang and Xiao Zhengzhen have a good brotherhood, and Xiao Mingzhu also has a good brotherhood with Xiao Zhengzhen on the surface, but they are often bad behind the scenes.

What she is best at is saying bad things about Xiao Zhengzhen, Chen Lingfeng, and Xiao Qiongzhi in front of Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather and grandmother, and Xiao Qiongzhi happened to encounter it several times.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, that is, when Xiao Mingzhu was young, he fell in love with Xiao Qiongzhi's uncle Chen Duanwen, pursued it enthusiastically, and begged Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng to get together.

Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng both chose to go with the flow.

This indirectly led to the result of Xiao Mingzhu's relationship, which was a slap in the face - of course, it was not Chen Duanwen who slapped her in the face, but Chen Duanwen's later wife Lou Xinxiu.

Because Lou Xinxiu and Xiao Mingzhu were rivals back then.

At the end of the Shen period, Xiao Qiongzhi returned to the mansion, first went to his Wutong Courtyard to change the uniform clothes of Zhilan Academy, and returned to the clothes and ornaments of the Xiao family in Lanling, who had not been out of the pavilion Chen Lingfeng, and was uniformly equipped according to the rules.

She wore a lake-blue makeup satin embroidered dress, a lotus pink soft smoke and a dark flower pleated skirt, and a autumn-colored silver silk cloth.

The neck is equipped with a string of red agate inlaid with jade jade pendant, and then combed with nine mustaches, decorated with a little emerald red plum bead flowers, sprinkled with gold step shake, lotus lotus tassel.

gave Su Mian a little rouge, painted a little lip red, and took Qingtao to Mei Courtyard to greet Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng.

The rules of the Prince's Mansion are that juniors, as long as they are at home, must greet Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng every day according to the rules.

By the way, I will meet up with my brothers and sisters who also follow the rules and go to say goodbye, and go with them to greet my grandfather and grandmother.

By the way, I met with my uncle and uncle's family, who also followed the rules and went to ask for peace.

Finally, everyone went to greet Grandpa and stayed in his yard for dinner.

Not to mention, such a circle of tossing and turning, especially consumes physical energy, every time I wait for dinner, I am hungry and exhausted, far more than in my memory, in another world, I need to be able to eat and sleep, not fat, not have dark circles.

Ume-in.

Xiao Zheng really played against Chen Lingfeng under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and Xiao Qiongzhi's cousin Xiao Jinjia sat on the sidelines and watched.

He is four years older than Xiao Qiongzhi.

His father is Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather, Xiao Zhengjia, and the son born with Tongfang, named Xiao Zhengliang.

Sixteen years ago, Xiao Zhengliang took his wife and children, and like Xiao Zhengzhen, he was arranged by Xiao Qiongzhi's grandfather to go to Dongxingguo for training.

Jiang Haocheng, the emperor of Dongxingguo, arranged for him to work in the criminal department, which was far less risky than going to the border.

However, when he was trying a case, he offended the defendant with a deep background, and on the way back to Daxiao for the New Year at the end of the year, he was robbed and killed by the defendant halfway, and both husband and wife died, leaving only Xiao Jinjia alive.

Grandpa Xiao Qiongzhi felt that Xiao Zhen's family and Ruan Yulan had no way to teach their children, so at first, he took Xiao Jinjia to him and raised him personally.

Eight years ago, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and he was busy with government affairs, so he had no time to care about Xiao Jinjia, and felt that Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng taught their children well, and fostered Xiao Jinjia by Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng.

Therefore, although Xiao Jinjia and Xiao Qiongzhi are cousins in name, emotionally, they are equivalent to brothers and sisters.

"Zhi'er, come and sit!" Xiao Jinjia looked very happy when he saw Xiao Qiongzhi.

He immediately asked the maidservant next to him to bring another chair from the house.

"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi sat down with a smile and watched Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng play chess with him.

Although Xiao Zhengzhen is known for his resourcefulness, he never seems to be Chen Lingfeng's opponent in chess, and he has always lost.

However, he has always regarded playing chess with Chen Lingfeng as a great joy in life, and every day as long as he is free, he will accompany him to kill a few games.

In this game, Xiao Zhengzhen obviously fell behind again.

After a while, he asked Chen Lingfeng with a smile: "Lingfeng, can you still let me have one?" ”
