The emperor knew that the daughter of the first crown princess's niece was indeed Ye Xia's, and after Ye Xia's was pregnant, Long Yan Dayue gave Xia Li two golden ruyi, two jade ruyi, and several medicinal materials. He secretly regretted more than once that if Pingping was also a beautiful girl, how good it would be, and he would give her all the best treasures in the world.

The queen also gave Xia Li two jade ruyi, ten palace satins, and two strings of coral prayer beads.

King Ming was even more excited when he knew that he had a cousin who was still alive. It was inconvenient for his cousin to leave the house when she was pregnant, so he personally brought the princess Zhu and his son Liu Guangxi to the Ye family.

In Fushoutang, Xia Li met his cousin Liu Yun again.

This meeting was different from the last time, last time because I was afraid that there would be other people's eyeliner in the Ming Palace, I almost didn't dare to speak, and I didn't even dare to look at it. And here, they are all their own people, and they are much more friendly and casual.

King Ming has a lot of blood relatives, even the Empress Dowager Qi who has always wanted to harm him is his grandmother. His biological father felt sorry for him but pressed him, and several younger siblings and cousins were even more rusty. There is only one cousin who is closer to Lord Anjun, or because of the Ye family.

In his heart, he only regarded his mother's blood relatives as his own relatives. After being sensible, he knew that his maternal grandfather was in the far western frontier and was planning everything for him. Other relatives are suffering in Qiongzhou, far away. I learned last year that my aunt Yang An'an's biological daughter was still alive, and she was still Ye Feng's fiancée, beautiful, intelligent, and inherited from her ancestors...... He felt guilty about these loved ones, who had suffered because of himself and his mother.

He has been hiding his courage for more than ten years, just to sit on that splendid mountain and river, give his mother what she deserves, rehabilitate these relatives, and punish those wicked people who harm others......

Success lies in people, and planning is in heaven. Since hearing about Master Yuhui's criticism, King Ming has strengthened his beliefs even more, and his feelings for Xia Li have become closer.

Xia Li has more respect than intimacy for this cousin of King Ming. This cousin will eventually sit in that position, and whoever sits in that position for a long time will change their mentality. So, put your mindset right.

Xia Ju, who was about to be recorded in Yang An'an's name, also went to kowtow to King Ming, and King Ming gave this "cousin" a set of four treasures of the study room and encouraged him to study hard.

After King Ming and Xia Li said goodbye for a while, the old prince invited him to the side room for a secret talk. The family had dinner in Fushoutang before returning to the palace.

Liu Guangxi's children are still reluctant to leave, he has already played very well with his uncle and Xiong Xiang.

King Ming smiled, "In the future, I have nothing to do with your cousin to go to the palace to play like a bear." ”

Xia Li has a very good impression of this prince's cousin, gentle and courteous, humble and benevolent. Not only to Ye Feng and Lao Guogong, who supported him, but also to his cousin, as well as his wife and children, he had a gentle and elegant attitude.

Because Xia Li couldn't go to Qiu Mansion to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors for the time being, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Qiu Jihong took the Erfang family to Yefu to visit Xia Li and Xia Ju. Originally, Mrs. Qiu still wanted to come, but she was persuaded by Qiu Jihong, afraid that she would be too excited, and then provoke Xia Li's emotional instability and affect the fetus.

They went straight to the hospital.

Ye Feng didn't go out today, and accompanied Xia Li and Xia Ju to wait for guests in the courtyard.

Qiu Jihong's wife, Zeng, is Zeng Lin's cousin. It was precisely because of this circumferential kinship that Xia Ju traveled thousands of miles to find his "true cousin".

Zeng's personality was cool, and he burst into tears when he pulled Xia Li, and said, "God, Lili really looks like your mother." He added, "Although my lord is a younger brother, because my uncle has to wait for your mother and Lu to get married, I entered Qiu's house two years earlier than your mother." Although we have only been together for less than two years, the relationship between the concubine is very good, and she is really a beautiful and gentle good woman. It's a pity that at such a young age, ......"

Xia Li listened, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Qiu Jihong's face sank, and he blamed Zeng's and said, "Look at you, I told you a long time ago, I can't let Lili be sad, you will let her cry as soon as you come." ”

Zeng hurriedly smiled, "Ouch, it's all my fault, when I see Lili, I think of my sister-in-law more than ten years ago." Okay, okay, it's me who shouldn't say that. He pointed to a few children and introduced Xia Li.

Qiu Jihong's eldest daughter is named Qiu Min, seventeen years old, and she is also the eldest girl of Qiu Mansion. is already married, and the child is more than half a year old. Except for Qiu Min, who didn't come, the other three children came. They are their son-in-law Qiu Zhongcong, thirteen years old. The concubine Qiu Zhongyi is eleven years old. The second daughter, Qiu Min, is eleven years old.

Among these juniors, Xia Li was the largest, and she also gave these cousins and cousins a meeting gift.

Zeng pulled Xia Ju to praise a few more words, saying that he was smart, and it was right to go to Xiangjiang Province to find Zeng's cousin. Not only did he survive, but he also found his sister-in-law.

Xia Ju led a few children to play with the two dogs and one bear in the children's house, and Zeng Jihong talked about the things in Qiu's mansion. is mainly about the dowry, after he and Mrs. Qiu's coercion, squeezing, and pressing, Yang Anan's dowry was finally gathered. However, the texture of some of the follow-up jewelry in it is far worse than the original, such as a cat's eye the size of a thumb, but they have replaced it with a little finger-sized ......

Five of the best sets were hidden by the Qi clan, but they were lost. There were also two sets that they gave to Mrs. Qi, that is, the wife of Xian Enhou.

These sets of things are worth a lot of money, and Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Jihong tried their best to get them back.

Xia Li had also thought of this before. The jewelry is not easy to determine, and it is impossible for the size of the Qi family to return it as it was. The dowry list only writes the name of the jewelry, and it is impossible to indicate how big the gemstone is, and how much red gold there is, and some do not even indicate what the specific setting is, which is very easy to exploit.

She had someone send a letter back to Xia before, and also attached a list of Yang An'an's dowry, asking Xia to write down the appearance of the jewelry she remembered. Especially the best jewelry, not only to write out the physical characteristics, but also where to buy it. Xia Ju was Yang An'an's first-class girl before, specializing in Yang An'an's clothes and jewelry.

Xia's letter had arrived two days before. For the sake of solemnity, she also took custody and sent someone to the provincial capital to find the envoy Zeng, who wrote a special letter to prove that what Xia said was true.

She focused on six sets of jewelry, stating their appearance, when and where they were bought, and how much they probably spent.

Xia Li said, "Those who should be asked for must be returned, especially those few good jewelry, which must not be cheap." He added, "I have my mother's letter as proof, and it would be better to have a few more witnesses who have seen the jewelry." ”

"My grandmother and I, as well as a few elderly people, can testify. ”
