Listening to the story of the eldest princess of Pingyang, Qin Luan felt her guilt, but she also knew that it was not the eldest princess's fault.

In turbulent times, when a young child experiences the pain of war, she will be self-reliant, and she will also rely on those around her.

Her own mother died early, and it was difficult for the little girl not to feel good about her stepmother who treated her gently.

Comparing hearts to hearts, Qin Luan and Aunt Lan have a deep relationship, which is also the reason.

Aunt Lan is an old friend of her mother and lives very close; And the stepmother to the eldest princess is to see each other day and night, living together.

This family affection has been played by Yan for nearly 20 years.

It was the Yan family who failed the eldest princess and the first prince.

"The death of the emperor's brother, my father has doubts in his heart, otherwise, he would not have asked Lin Xuan several times." The eldest princess said.

Lin Xuan never let go.

It's not that they don't trust the first emperor, but that no one has a choice.

The throne is to be inherited, Zhao Li will ascend the throne, the physical condition of the first emperor cannot compete with the Yan mother and son, the fetus in the womb of the crown princess does not know the gender, and it is not a good idea to hold a young child for a year in the clan at that time......

Once there is internal turmoil, the Great Zhou will be in chaos.

And in order to keep Zhao Lin's widow and create more possibilities for the future, he must let Zhao Li believe him.

Lin Xuan insisted that Zhao Lin's death was an accident, saying that the prince told him to be conscientious to Da Zhou and to assist the young Zhao Li.

In the first eight years of Qingyuan, Lin Xuan always held the military power in his hands.

The same is true for the eldest princess.

She told Yan about the sadness of her father's death, and never mentioned doubts.

In the following years, she gradually distanced herself from the former harem on the grounds of "my father died, I am no longer a princess who can do whatever she wants", "the eldest princess and the princess, act differently", and no longer mention Guiwei.

She is also reassuring the Queen Mother and the Emperor about her.

"The death of the imperial brother hit my sister-in-law very hard, she gave birth to you earlier," the eldest princess looked at Lin Fan and said, "I will take you back and hand you over to Lin Xuan, and he will grow you up as a son." ”

Lin Fan's fingers clasped tightly in his palm and asked, "Then my mother, is she still alive?" What kind of person is she? ”

"Sister-in-law, she ......," the eldest princess spoke, but did not continue.

For a short time, she didn't know how to describe the crown princess, a woman who could make her say for three days and three nights, not in a few words.

"Her name is Fang Yu, the orphan daughter of the Fang family in Wancheng." Lin Zhi spoke on behalf of the eldest princess and said the simplest.

Wancheng was burned in the war, and few of the people in the city survived.

The mother entrusted the orphan, handed Fang Yu to the maid, and begged her to take the child to join her sister.

"Her sister is Dou Yan."

Qin Luan didn't know this name, but Lin Fan was very familiar with it.

"Grandmother?" Lin Fan asked in a low voice.

Lin Zhi nodded.

Dou Yan married into the Cheng family.

This Cheng family is the same clan as the Cheng family from the current Queen Cheng, but it was out of five suits early.

Queen Cheng has been passed down from generation to generation with the fragrance of books, and the other has produced many generals, seeking all kinds of vitality in the troubled times.

Dou Yan has a daughter, named Cheng Qiao, who is Lin Fan's mother.

His biological mother and adoptive mother are cousins who have grown up together since childhood.

Lin Fan thought that this was also a reason why the mother was willing to send away her daughter who was pregnant in October.

Lin Zhi continued: "When Ah Yu fled, he was stabbed in the back and survived, but he couldn't practice martial arts like us. ”

Guiwei is still martial, Cheng Zhi is very active, but he did not ignore his cousin who couldn't participate.

Fang Yu reads history and soldiers, is proficient in algorithms, and has a good account, and is the general manager of Guiwei.

When Zhao Guiyou led the troops into battle, Fang Yu sat in the rear, dispatched grain and grass, and coordinated the cooperation of Guiwei and other combat forces.

"She's very good," the eldest princess smiled, very astringent, "I only brought you back to the capital at that time, but she was missing, neither Lin Xuan nor I can look for her with great fanfare, and I can't tell if she is still alive......"

Lin Fan lowered his eyes.

He was ready for his biological mother's death, but the fact that his life and death were unknown still made him worry.

Qin Luan glanced at Lin Fan and asked, "The first prince and the crown princess, are there any old things left?" ”

The deceased is gone, and if there are some relics, it is also a kind of comfort.

Just like herself, when she was a child, she loved to hold her mother's clothes and sleep, and no one would take them.

The eldest princess of Pingyang got up and didn't call anyone in to help, she went into the inner room by herself and waited for a while before coming back.

Qin Luan saw that she had an extra wooden gun in her hand.

The wooden gun was very short, and in the hands of an adult, it was a toy.

"This is made by the imperial brother himself," the eldest princess handed the wooden gun to Lin Fan, "He made it for you." ”

Lin Fan looked at the wooden gun in a daze and slowly took it.

After learning that his wife was pregnant, Zhao Lin was so happy that he spent an afternoon chopping wood and polishing the handle of the gun.

Zhao Gui laughed at him: "You know it's a son?" ”

Zhao Lin Zhile: "Your daughter's family, don't you also dance with knives and guns every day?" Just practicing marksmanship, and dividing sons and daughters? ”

In a word, Zhao Gui was blocked.

Zhao Gui didn't give up, and wanted to tease his brother, and paid attention to the process of making wooden guns throughout the process.

Then, she saw Zhao Lin untie a small tuft from the red tassel of his shiny silver spear and tie it to the wooden spear.

"How do you give a child something that has been stained with blood?" Zhao Gui asked.

Zhao Linman didn't care: "Who doesn't get bloody?" Sooner or later, my child, don't be afraid, and won't be afraid! ”

So arrogant and confident.

Lin Fan listened to the story of the wooden spear, his eyes were heavy, staring at the cluster of red tassels.

It has been collected by the eldest princess for twenty years, and it is no longer as bright as it used to be.

Lin Fan stretched out his hand and picked it up with his fingers.

Light and weightless.

But his heart sank.

For example, his brave and warlike father handed over this cluster of red tassels to him after a long time.

His biological father is still very strange to him.

However, at this moment, Lin Fan thought, he seemed to be, one step closer to him.

The eldest princess of Pingyang looked at Lin Fan and did not disturb his contemplation.

It wasn't until Lin Fan raised his head again that the eldest princess said: "I told you everything I know, and the Marquis of Yongning is also fully entrusted, now, you know all the answers, what do you want to do?"

You don't have to answer immediately, you can't understand this matter in a few words, you can sleep well when you go back and think slowly.

Once you've figured it out, come and tell me.

Whatever the answer, I accept it, because you are the son of the royal brother.

I used to do as I wanted, and neither my father nor brother screwed my temperament, nor told me what I had to do or what I couldn't do, and I wouldn't use it to screw you.

As long as you think about it yourself, I support it. ”

Lin Fan clenched the wooden gun in his hand, and nodded solemnly with the eldest princess.
