Chapter 100: The Loving Father (Part 1)

"I ...... Am I the biological daughter of the Holy Lord and the noble concubine? Shanshan could barely believe her ears, "I'm not...... Isn't it the cousin of the Jiang family?! ā€

"Yes, you are the cousin of the Jiang family, and you are also the biological daughter of the saint. The Holy Mother is the daughter of our Jiang family, and you are actually the granddaughter of our Jiang family......" The ancestor of the Jiang family stroked Shanshan's cheeks with pity, "Your surname is Xia, and your name is Xia Shan." Now, you are the only princess of our Great Xia Dynasty. ā€

Until she returned to her house, Xia Shan's whole person was still in the clouds.

Her mind kept echoing with the words of her ancestors.

"Your mother has just passed away, and you will go to King Zhao's Mansion tomorrow and kneel for your mother with your brother. After your mother is buried, you will enter the palace with your brother. You are the eldest princess, and your younger brother is the eldest prince. Now the children of the saints are all born to your mother. You and the eldest prince are compatriots, you must take good care of him. ā€

It turns out that the saint who is so kind is his own father......

No wonder as soon as I saw the Holy One, I had a good impression of him.

Xia Shan tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, and didn't take a nap until dawn.

I didn't sleep for a long time, and I was called by the maid.

"Princess Anhe, you are going to drive to King Zhao's Mansion to kneel down."

In front of the bed were familiar faces, but the smiles and expressions on those faces were unfamiliar to her.

Those smiles were more humbling, more respectful, more ...... for her Worship as a god.

The descendants of the Jiang family originally knew that Shanshan's identity was not ordinary, otherwise they would not have been brought up by the ancestor of the Jiang family since childhood.

You must know that the last girl of the Jiang family was personally brought up by the ancestors, and only the current concubine Jiang Gui, the mother of Emperor Zhao of the Holy Xia.

The second girl of the Jiang family who was personally brought up by the ancestor of the Jiang family. It's Jiang Siniang.

And Shanshan is the first girl with a foreign surname who was personally brought up by the ancestor of the Jiang family.

Now I know that Shanshan turned out to be the "missing pearl" of the saint and Wang Guifei. The subordinates of the Jiang family were also relieved.

Such an identity. It is indeed worthy of being raised by the ancestors of the Jiang family himself.

Jiang Siniang walked in from outside the door and blessed Xia Shan: "Princess Anhe, the ancestor ordered me to accompany you to King Zhao's Mansion." ā€

Although Xia Shan is already a princess, she is only a child who is not yet seven years old.

"Fourth sister!" Xia Shan slipped off the bed and grabbed Jiang Siniang's hand, "Fourth sister, will you accompany me?" That's great! ā€

She still called Jiang Siniang according to her previous name.

Jiang Siniang hurriedly said: "Princess Anhe, don't kill Siniang." ā€

"No, it won't." Xia Shan smiled and looked up at Jiang Siniang. "The ancestor said, I am the granddaughter of the Jiang family, so I am still your cousin, and you are still my cousin."

That's not bad.

Jiang Siniang smiled slightly, and said with her head bowed: "Well, just listen to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ā€

Jiang Siniang watched Xia Shan finish washing, helped her change into the princess's plain clothes, and followed her to King Zhao's Mansion.

Wang Yixing stood at the door of King Zhao's Mansion with his hands in his hands, waiting quietly.

Princess Ann's guard of honor came. He walked down the steps of King Zhao's Mansion unhurriedly, bowed down in front of the princess's chariot and said, "Weichen knocks to see Her Royal Highness Princess An He." ā€

Jiang Siniang followed Princess An and sat in the chariot.

She looked in. Then he said to Xia Shan: "Princess Anhe, that's Lord Wang Yixing." After a pause, he said, "It's also your uncle." ā€

"Is it uncle?!" Xia Shan was surprised and delighted, opened the curtain of the chariot, and said with a smile: "Uncle? ā€

Wang Yixing raised his eyes and saw a handsome little girl with big eyes and long eyebrows walking out of the chariot with a smile.

Those beautiful long eyebrows are almost exactly the same as when his sister Wang Qingmei was a child.

Wang Yixing lost his mind for a moment, but quickly arched his hand calmly, "Her Royal Highness the princess is polite." ā€

"Uncle, just call me Shan'er." Xia Shan smiled and blessed a blessing, "You are an elder, you don't need to be so polite to me." ā€

"Even so, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished." Wang Yixing said indifferently, and then naturally took Xia Shan's hand, "Your brother is already waiting for you inside." Come in with me. As he spoke, he also nodded to Jiang Siniang, "Thank you Miss Jiang Siniang for sending An and Princess An." ā€

Jiang Siniang returned the salute and said, "My ancestor asked me to give a stick of incense to the concubine on behalf of the Jiang family." ā€

"Mrs. Fuguo is very polite." Wang Yixing tilted his head sideways, "Your side, please." ā€

Jiang Siniang is now representing the Jiang family, and the identity of the ancestor of the Jiang family is naturally worthy of Wang Yixing's salute.

She nodded, and followed Wang Yixing and Xia Shan into the Zhaowang Mansion.

The Weirui Hall in the inner courtyard of the Zhaowang Mansion has now been converted into a mourning hall.

The eldest brother, who was only two years old and three years old, was dressed in the prince's plain clothes, and knelt in front of Wang Qingmei under the support of the nurse.

Hearing someone coming in, the eldest brother turned around and pouted at Wang Yixing, "Uncle, Ah Chi's leg hurts." ā€

He has never suffered such a great sin since he was born.

From kneeling in the morning until now, my knees are red.

Xia Shan hurriedly walked over, touched his head, and choked up, "He is my brother Xia Chi?" ā€

Wang Yixing nodded, and said with his hands behind his back: "Your mother only left you sister and brother, Shan'er, you will take good care of your brother in the future." ā€

Xia Shan wiped a handful of tears with the back of her hand, nodded and said, "Well, I will." As he spoke, he also knelt down beside Xia Chi.

Jiang Siniang also stepped forward to put a stick of incense on Wang Qingmei's coffin, and prayed silently for a long time.

"Miss Jiang Si, I'm busy here, you ......" Wang Yixing waited for Jiang Siniang to finish the incense, and wanted to ask her what her plans were.

Jiang Siniang said: "When I came, the ancestor instructed me to look at Princess Anhe. If you're busy, go ahead and go about it. I'll help you watch it out here. ā€

It is exactly what Wang Yixing meant.

A smile appeared on his thin face, and he arched his hand: "Then thank you Miss Jiang Si." So saying, he took the steward and turned to leave.

The affairs of the inner courtyard were temporarily entrusted to Jiang Siniang to help with the cooking.

……

In the Qingyuan Hall in the inner courtyard of the Divine General's Mansion, Sheng Siyan sat restlessly on the Arhat bed in the small suite where Ah Cai lived. Silently thinking about what is on your mind.

Zhou Huaixuan walked in from the door. Sit next to her. Grabbed her and hugged her to her chest, "...... What's wrong? ā€

Sheng Siyan rubbed his chest and said in a low voice, "...... How could Wang Qingmei commit suicide by swallowing gold? ā€

Based on her understanding of Wang Qingmei, this woman is definitely not the kind of person who will automatically give up her life.

No matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, Wang Qingmei is a person who believes that "it is better to die than to live".

Zhou Huaixuan squinted at her, "You know everything?" ā€

"Xianbai told me in the morning, and I knew that Wang Qingmei was dead." Sheng Siyan said sullenly.

"Don't overthink it. Wang Qingmei's death was her own fault. It's nothing to do with anyone else. As soon as Zhou Huaixuan saw it, he knew that Sheng Siyan was blaming himself again.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's true? Didn't I force her? Sheng Siyan asked very uneasily.

Because she took action, she pointed the rumors directly at the cousin who was fostered in the Jiang family.

"Is it because of her daughter's affairs that she died to pave the way for her daughter and son?"

"Of course not." Zhou Huaixuan said lightly, "If she is going to commit suicide, she will commit suicide as early as the day when the Holy Lord does not allow her to enter the palace, and she will have to wait until now?" ā€

It makes sense to say that.

Sheng Siyan felt better, got up and said, "I heard that she has made a concubine, and her daughter has been a princess." The son also got the title of the eldest prince. Are we going to Zhaowang's Mansion to put incense on her? ā€

"Do you want to go?" Zhou Huaixuan gently patted her on the back and asked.

"Go." Sheng Siyan looked in the mirror, "The funeral of the concubine." Everybody's got to go, right? "She doesn't want to be too special.

Zhou Huaixuan nodded, "Hand over the post first, and then go when it's set." ā€

Sheng Siyan responded and sent Zhou Huaixuan out.

……

In King Zhao's mansion, Wang Yixing cleaned up a small courtyard in the inner courtyard and came out to live with Jiang Siniang, Xia Shan and Xia Chi, intending to entrust Xia Shan and Xia Chi sisters and brothers to Jiang Siniang to take care of.

Jiang Siniang got the permission of the ancestor of the Jiang family, and also stayed to help take care of the trivial matters in the inner courtyard of King Zhao's mansion.

Wang Yixing read the posts sent by various prefectures in the outer courtyard, and ordered the steward to arrange the time for them to come to worship according to the distance between relatives and relatives in each prefecture, not to get together, and not to have too many people a day and a few people a day.

"Lord Wang, what date do you think this post from the Divine General's Mansion will be arranged?" The steward found the post sent by the Divine General's Mansion and showed it to Wang Yixing.

Wang Yixing stared at the post sent by Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan for a while, and said, "God has sent posts to the three rooms of the mansion, so let them come together." After thinking about it, he said, "Tomorrow will be fine." Ordered to go down, raise a few more braziers in the mourning hall, and replace the door curtain with a leather curtain. ā€

"Huh? Now that spring has begun, do you still need braziers and leather curtains? The steward asked, puzzled.

"If you are ready, prepare, what is the word!" Wang Yixing frowned, drove the steward away, and went to the palace to report Wang Qingmei's funeral.

……

"Well, it's very appropriate for you to arrange it this way, I don't have to worry about it." Emperor Xia Zhao looked at the itinerary written by Wang Yixing and gently put it aside, "There are still many people who come to worship." ā€

"Yes, even the four major princes have sent posts. The minister has already arranged a day for them, a family day, what do you think, Holy Lord? ā€

Emperor Xia Zhao nodded, "It's very proper, just do as you say." ā€

Early the next morning, Emperor Xia Zhao actually came to King Zhao's Mansion and put a stick of incense on Wang Qingmei's spirit.

Xia Shan wore linen and filial piety, knelt beside him with Xia Chi, and kowtowed to Emperor Xia Zhao.

Emperor Xia Zhao walked over, touched the heads of the two of them, and said sadly: "Your mother is gone, so you can live in the palace with your father in the future." ā€

Xia Chi was more familiar with Emperor Xia Zhao, and when he heard this, he pounced on Emperor Xia Zhao and cried: "Dad, Dad, Ah Chi's leg hurts, can you not kneel?" ā€

Xia Shan hurriedly corrected: "You want to call your father!" He added: "This is kneeling for the mother's concubine, how can you say that you won't kneel if your leg hurts?" It's so unfilial! ā€

One board and one eye, very young lady.

Xia Chi was trained by Xia Shan to lower his head, his small body sat on the ground with twitches, his mouth curled, but he didn't dare to cry, and the facial features on his chubby face were wrinkled.

Emperor Xia Zhao couldn't bear it, hugged Xia Chi, and coaxed him softly: "Chi'er is a man, you have to be treated." It is appropriate to kneel for the concubine, even if your leg hurts, you have to kneel, do you hear? ā€

Xia Chi took advantage of the situation and hugged Emperor Xia Zhao's neck, sobbing and choking.

Xia Shan watched in amazement as Emperor Xia Zhao coaxed his younger brother and said, "Father, you can't get used to him!" ā€

Emperor Xia Zhao smiled gently and said, "He's still ...... young."

Just as he was about to continue talking, there was already a maid outside the mourning hall preaching: "The general of the Divine General Mansion Zhenguo and the lady of Zhenguo have arrived!" ā€

This is Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan coming.

Emperor Xia Zhao hurriedly looked up at the door, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

Sheng Siyan helped Zhou Huaixuan's arm across the high threshold, and when he looked up, he saw Emperor Xia Zhao holding a two or three-year-old fat boy, and a six or seven-year-old little girl with pink makeup snuggled next to him, with a very loving fatherly posture.

"You're here." The smile on Emperor Xia Zhao's face flashed, and he said lightly, putting Xia Chi down and letting him kneel with Xia Shan.

Sheng Siyan silently blessed him, "I've seen the saint." ā€

Zhou Huaixuan followed and bowed.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Emperor Xia Zhao hurriedly raised his hand and said, he stared at Sheng Siyan's lowered head, quickly glanced at her from head to toe, and finally said lightly: "You are here, and the etiquette is also fulfilled." Although spring has opened now, the sky has not yet warmed up, and the cold of spring is also very hurtful. Mrs. Zhenguo looked a little haggard, so she better go back and rest early. "Don't let Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan personally incense Wang Qingmei's coffin.
