Chapter 030: A Temptation to the Great General

"The eldest princess, the fourth prince, the eldest lady, because the emperor summoned her, Ah Xiyan can only retire first, please forgive me."

Since it was summoned by the emperor, Ah Xiyan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed.

"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Xi Yan, then you hurry up and go to the imperial study with Gonggong Hai? Sister, I'll come back to see you another day. Besides, don't call me the eldest princess in the future, you have to call me sister. You know? ”

The eldest princess didn't mind helping Ah Xiyan up and said, and pretended to be dissatisfied again.

"Got it, sister."

Seeing that the eldest princess repeatedly emphasized, Ah Xiyan had no choice but to compromise.

"Child, since it was summoned by the emperor, let's go quickly. Slow down on the road. Have time to come to the General's Mansion to play? Don't call me the eldest lady in the future, it's better to call me aunt with Yuyao. When the time comes, my aunt will cook for you and entertain you with the best food. ”

The eldest lady Ye Qingli said reasonably, and was extremely reluctant to send an invitation to A Xiyan.

"Okay, auntie, take care of your body, Xi Yan will go to see you when she is free."

When she heard the eldest lady say that she would cook for her personally, Ah Xiyan also replied warmly in her heart.

I don't know why, Ah Xiyan has a very good impression of the eldest lady she met for the second time, and she feels very close, so naturally she can't bear to refuse her kindness.

"Since the eldest sister calls you Sister Xiyan, and I am two years older than you, then you will also be my sister in the future. Then there is no need to be polite, it seems to be raw, and you can call me the fourth brother in the future. It just so happens that I also have something to say to Grandpa Hai, so I'll go with you to see him, right? ”

The fourth prince, Chu Xiaoyao, also replied generously.

"Okay, fourth brother, let's go then."

Although Ah Xiyan felt a little awkward to call the fourth prince brother, she didn't want to make him lose face in front of the eldest princess and the eldest lady, so she had to reluctantly agree.

After finishing speaking, Ah Xiyan walked in the direction of the gate of Weiyang Palace.

And after hearing Ah Xiyan call him the fourth brother, the fourth prince also smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, obviously satisfied with Ah Xiyan's performance.

Seeing that Ah Xiyan had left, the fourth prince hurriedly looked at the eldest princess and eldest lady beside him who saw Ah Xiyan leave, and said politely: "Thank you eldest sister and eldest lady for coming to the palace to visit me, I am already fine, don't worry." When I'm ready, I'll take Sister Xiyan to the Horse Mansion and the General's Mansion to see you another day. The eldest sister and the eldest lady took care of themselves, and Xiaoyao also left first. ”

"Fourth brother, you are recovering from a serious illness, do you still have to pay more attention to rest? Since you still have something to do, I won't talk to you more, just be busy with yours. ”

The eldest princess also replied politely.

"Yes, Xiaoyao, I am relieved to see that you wake up. It's just that your face looks bad, so you still need to rest more. When it's completely good, Xichen should almost come back, and when the time comes, I'll come to the General's Mansion to play? ”

The eldest lady glanced at the face of the fourth prince and said with concern.

"Okay, eldest sister, eldest lady, I see. So I'm leaving? ”

The fourth prince nodded in agreement.

After speaking, he turned to look at A Xiyan and chased after him.

When the fourth prince accompanied Ah Xiyan to the gate of Weiyang Palace, he saw Haigong waiting for Ah Xiyan there.

"See the Four Princes, see Miss A."

When Gonggong Hai saw the four princes and A Xiyan walking out of the Weiyang Palace, he hurriedly saluted.

"Ah Xiyan has seen Grandpa Hai."

Ah Xiyan bowed and saluted back.

"Excuse me, Grandpa Hai."

The fourth prince enthusiastically helped Gonggong Hai up, and after whispering in Gonggong Hai's ear that he didn't know what to say, he said goodbye to Ah Xiyan and returned to the Changqiu Palace.

And Ah Xiyan followed Gonggong Hai to the imperial study.

……

When the eldest princess and the eldest lady of Weiyang Hall saw the four princes leaving Weiyang Palace, they also glanced at each other and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the emperor's edict came in time.

Otherwise, they really don't know how to face the questions of the four princes, but they are a little worried about the emperor's deliberate summoning of A Xiyan in the imperial study.

Because they both know very well that the emperor usually encounters tricky things and doesn't want too many people to know, so he summons the minister in the imperial study to discuss privately.

And the emperor had just seen Ah Xiyan in the palace of the four princes before, and at this moment, he suddenly summoned Ah Xiyan urgently, which was inevitably a little unreasonable.

In addition, the emperor personally appointed A Xiyan as the chief imperial doctor, which could not help but make the always sensitive eldest lady feel that something related to the disease should have happened, otherwise there was no need for the emperor to summon a imperial doctor to discuss together.

And the eldest lady still remembered one thing, that is, her husband, the great general A Hongfei, sent someone to inform the mansion after the morning dynasty that he was left in the imperial study by the emperor to discuss the government, and he couldn't go back to the house to have lunch with her as usual at noon, so the eldest lady had no appetite alone, and simply ate a little food, so she came to the gate of the general's mansion to see the young woman passing by because she missed Ah Xiyan extremely much again, so as to relieve the pain of lovesickness for her daughter.

In other words, after A Xiyan goes to the imperial study for a while, she will definitely see Ah Hongfei, that is, her biological father.

Then it is very likely that she will soon find out her background!

Because Ah Hongfei personally named his daughter Ah Xiyan, and it was a peace charm jade pendant that he ordered, as long as the two of them met and introduced each other through the emperor, even if Ah Xiyan felt that it was just a coincidence that General A had the same surname as her, Ah Hongfei would not think so.

He will definitely inquire about A Xiyan's life experience in front of the emperor by the way, so as to confirm whether the other party is his daughter who has been missing for seventeen years.

And Ah Xiyan had already begged the emperor to help her investigate her life experience, so that the sharp-minded emperor would probably remember that Ah Hongfei did have a daughter who was kidnapped seventeen years ago, but after too long, everyone forgot about it.

At that time, the emperor will definitely ask Ah Xiyan to show General A Hongfei the peace talisman jade pendant she hung around her neck, and everything will be revealed.

Ah Xiyan will learn about her background on the spot, that is, she is the eldest lady who was kidnapped by gangsters when she was born in the General's Mansion seventeen years ago.

In this way, it is bound to disrupt the plan that the eldest lady and the eldest princess discussed before, that is, before understanding Ah Xiyan's attitude towards her biological parents, it is a safe way to temporarily not recognize each other.

Because the eldest lady is worried that in this way, although with the mediation of the emperor, A Xiyan can directly recognize A Hongfei, but the eldest lady feels that such recognition is likely not to be made willingly by A Xiyan.

After all, in front of the emperor, even if A Xiyan has more questions and dissatisfaction, it is inconvenient to question in front of the emperor, but there is always a knot in her heart, and before this knot is opened, even if she reluctantly recognizes each other, they live together, but they only recognize each other on the surface.

Afterwards, she will definitely continue to secretly investigate the truth about her abandonment, and in this process, if there is any misunderstanding, or even if she is misled by someone with a heart, maybe she will not even have a chance to explain, Ah Xiyan will say goodbye, and it is not impossible to never see her again.

The reason why the eldest lady has such concerns is because she herself feels that her daughter was abducted back then was quite strange.

The truth inside may be completely unthinkable to her.

She always felt that the daughter of the heavily guarded General's Mansion was kidnapped by gangsters just after she was born, which made it unbelievable to anyone.

And the eldest lady calmed down and thought about it carefully in the past few years, and found that her husband A Hongfei behaved a little strangely when he told her that her daughter had been kidnapped by gangsters, as if he already knew his daughter's whereabouts but was unwilling to look for it.

Although Ah Hongfei seemed to have sent people out to look for his daughter everywhere at that time, it always felt like he was just trying to comfort her, and it ended hastily not long after.

And every time the eldest lady asked her daughter about the progress of what she was looking for, Ah Hongfei still perfunctory a few words to her at first, but later she simply behaved extremely impatiently, and even deliberately avoided this matter, and gradually alienated her.

So the eldest lady suddenly felt that Ah Hongfei was afraid that there was something to hide from her.

Maybe his daughter's disappearance has something to do with him, and even the so-called kidnapping by gangsters is just an illusion, but she really can't guess what happened to make her husband bear to abandon her own daughter?

It's a pity that although the eldest lady has had such suspicions in her heart in recent years, she can't find evidence to prove her suspicions that have been buried in her heart for many years.

And Ah Xiyan was suddenly summoned by the emperor in the imperial study at this moment, and it happened that her husband A Hongfei was also in the imperial study, and the eldest lady felt that maybe she might use this opportunity to test her husband A Hongfei.

If Ah Hongfei took the initiative to recognize Ah Xiyan on the spot in the imperial study, and personally brought Ah Xiyan back to the General's Mansion, it would mean that Ah Xiyan's so-called abduction by gangsters had nothing to do with him, and she misunderstood him a lot.

But if Ah Hongfei didn't recognize Ah Xiyan on the spot in the imperial study this time, and even didn't mention to her when he returned to the general's mansion that he met Ah Xiyan in the imperial study, it would be enough to prove that Ah Hongfei was weak and didn't dare to recognize Ah Xiyan, his daughter.

That shows that he deliberately sent his daughter away while she was unconscious for three days.

Therefore, the eldest lady decided to go back to the General's Mansion first, and when her husband Ah Hongfei left the imperial study and returned to the mansion, she only needed to see if he had returned to the mansion with Ah Xiyan.

After making this decision, she said to the eldest princess beside her: "Yu Yao, my aunt is tired and wants to go back to the General's Mansion to rest." ”

"Okay, auntie, then Yu Yao will send you home, right? It's time for me to go back to the Pony Mansion. After a few days of your health, Yu Yao will take you into the palace to visit Sister Xi Yan. ”

The eldest princess, Chu Yuyao, hurriedly held the eldest lady's arm and replied.

Afterwards, the two of them left the Weiyang Palace, first went to Xiangfeng Palace and chatted briefly with Concubine Shuniang about what happened before, and then left the palace in a carriage together......
