If you want to talk about the Xia family's power in the capital, it should be called "more than enough than the top".

Father Xia, the Zuo Cheng of Dali Temple, is a big man who is beyond the reach of ordinary people, right? But in fact, it is not ranked at all among the Beijing officials everywhere.

Father Xia is an honest person, not good at drilling, more old-fashioned and serious, he has never stood in any line in the court, but he just abides by his duties and does his duty, so he has offended many people, and he has been targeted both inside and outside.

In particular, after the only daughter of Zhongshu Shilang's family was beaten by the board, lost her draft qualification, and was rumored to be the laughing stock of the whole capital, the relationship between Zhongshu Shilang and Xia's father was completely deadlocked.

Zhongshu Shilang is a member of An Youcheng's faction.

How much the Xia family has been bullied by all sides in the past few years, it can be imagined.

Xia Jing's bullying that Xia Qingyang witnessed before was just the tip of the iceberg.

"I've never heard of any of that."

Xia Qingyang didn't expect these things to happen without her knowing.

When she crossed over and saw the injustice, she immediately thought that she must avenge the "original body", but she didn't think that it would bring these follow-up effects to the Xia family.

I knew that I would have used more gentle means then.

"Both the lord and the lady said they couldn't tell you." Mingzhu lowered her head slightly, "Although I have written to the lord to report to them, saying that Niangniang's illness has been cured, and her consciousness is as clear as ordinary people." But in their hearts, you will always be the five or six-year-old girl. They are worried that it will affect you, so no matter how bad they are, they never think to ask you for help. ”

In fact, after the only daughter Xia Yunyin was selected as Changzai, the Xia family had a good life for a while.

After all, no matter what position he is, Xia Yunyin is a royal person. People are worried that in the future, Xia Yunyin will rise step by step, and after becoming a favorite concubine, the Xia family will find them to settle accounts with the queen of autumn.

As for what happened later, there is no need to go into details.

There has been no news of "Xia Yunyin" being favored in the palace, and the Zhongshu waiter also instructed to spread rumors, saying that Xia Yunyin was sent to the cold palace.

"That's why you've always wanted me to compete for favor." Xia Qingyang understood, "You think I'm favored, and the Xia family can take advantage of my situation and live a better life." ”

Mingzhu lowered her head, and acquiesced to Xia Qingyang's statement:

"In addition, you have never asked for 'leave', and some people outside who chewed their tongues said that the Xia family had treated you badly, so you didn't want to go back to have a look."

"Leave?"

Xia Qingyang was slightly stunned, and then dug up the word in his memory for a long time.

That was not long after she had just crossed over. Just after the New Year, one day, Mingzhu carefully asked her if she wanted to ask for "leave" to go back to her home.

Returning to leave means that the concubines of the harem can take three days off every year to go back to their parents' homes to accompany their parents and elders.

Return to the holiday, return home.

I don't know who set this rule for the first time, but there is no doubt that this rule gave the harem women a hope.

But Xia Qingyang has no home to go back to. She didn't regard the Xia family as her home, and even at that time, she was a little reluctant to have a relationship with her parents.

So she told Mingzhu not to mention it again.

…… I didn't expect this to become an article for the outside world to chew on the root of the tongue.

As for Mingzhu, there is one thing to ask for. It's actually about becoming the third child.

Last time, after Xia Qingyang went out of the palace to clean up Cheng Laosan, it stands to reason that Cheng Laosan will be severely sentenced by the government.

However, in fact, even if the eldest princess reported this matter herself, the attitude of the government is very ambiguous. At the time of the first trial, the government only fixed the matter on the false accusation, and did not mention the witchcraft of Xi Deng Guo at all.

Obviously, there is the support and instruction of the Chinese scholar behind this.

Now the result of the matter is that Cheng Laosan not only does not admit that the reconciliation letter was written voluntarily, but also intends to sue Xia Jing.

The day after tomorrow is the final trial, and the situation is very unfavorable to the Xia family.

Mingzhu couldn't help it, so she told Xia Qingyang the truth one by one, hoping that Xia Qingyang could ask Concubine An or the eldest princess to help.

"In that case, then pack up and leave the palace tomorrow."

Xia Qingyang's words made Mingzhu slightly stunned and raised his head: "Tomorrow? ”

"Hmm. The day after tomorrow will be the final judgment. Who should I ask for this leave? Queen or Queen Mother? I don't want to go to the emperor. ”

"No, no, just tell the queen." Mingzhu waved his hand busily.

She didn't expect that Xia Qingyang would agree so easily after what she had been bothering her for several days.

She knew that even if her mother lost her memory and didn't remember anything, she would still miss her flesh and blood affection!

So Mingzhu began to secretly wipe her tears while packing her luggage, while Xia Qingyang took other little palace maids to accompany her and went to Queen Yin's palace to ask for leave.

-

When she heard the word "return to fake" from Xia Qingyang's mouth, Queen Yin was also surprised.

"What's the matter, is it difficult?" Seeing that Queen Yin didn't speak, Xia Qingyang thought that it was a difficult process to ask for leave.

"No, I just didn't expect that you would come to me and ask for leave to go home."

Empress Yin asked Qiu Wei to bring her little red book, and then picked up a pen and neatly wrote a line of delicate small characters on it for approval, "In the past few years, I haven't seen you ask for leave to return home, I thought it was really as rumors from the outside world said, it was the Xia family who treated you badly and made you feel resentful." ”

Now I know that it is because Xia Yunyin has long become Xia Qingyang.

Xia Qingyang smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's really so easy to misunderstand, it's my negligence." If I had known this, I would have gone back more often......"

Before Xia Qingyang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Queen Yin: "Don't say that." I think what the Xia family wants is not to force their 'daughter' to go home to visit them against their will, right. ”

Xia Qingyang paused slightly and did not speak again.

Empress Yin stamped a mark on the small red paper, tore it off when she was done, and handed it to Xia Qingyang: "Okay, let's go back." Don't worry about the situation in the palace, it just so happens that the palace banquet is four days later, and there will be no accident with me and Shuyu in these days. ”

Xia Qingyang nodded: "Then if there is any situation, let the group send a message to me." ”

"Don't worry, I understand."

-

On the way back to the palace, Xia Qingyang was carrying a small red paper in his arms, as if he was carrying something weighing a thousand pounds, and his steps became heavy.

Daojun asked in her ear: "Why, can't you still accept the fact that you are Xia Yunyin?" ”

"Nope. I understand what you mean by 'soul oneness' and things like that. ”

"And what are you struggling with?"

"Well, I'm struggling with it because, for me, the real 'person' should be made up of the memories he has experienced and carried. I haven't experienced everything that Xia Yunyin has experienced, so I can't be considered her. ”

Xia Qingyang understood that Daojun could not understand what she was troubled about.

In fact, if the Xia family were the kind of "bad family" that is common in novels, she would feel very relaxed.

She has always been good at parrying the malice of others, but she will only feel at a loss for those sudden kindnesses.

She is not Xia Yunyin after all, and she cannot replace Xia Yunyin.
