The old lady's room was filled with a sweet aroma, and there were two plates of newly made begonia cake on the table, a plate of jujube paste filling, and a plate of red bean paste filling.

Seeing Yuan Xi come in, the old lady settled down, and smiled as much as before. Pull Won-hee to his side and sit down, and pull the dim sum to Won-hee's hand: "Eat, eat." ”

Yuan Xi nodded, pinched a piece of jujube paste and took a bite. It was the old lady's handiwork, and she knew it as soon as she tasted it.

The old lady stared at her with a smile for a while, and said, "Xi'er hasn't been back for a long time, and as soon as she comes back, she will bump into this kind of thing." Actually, your eldest sister ......," the old lady sighed, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes. She smiled bitterly: "It's really not that people are old, and if they don't finish a sentence, they will shed tears." ”

Yuan Xi put down the snack and held the old lady's hand, which was hot and seemed to have a low-grade fever. This is true for older people, who have a fever when they are frightened. The old lady didn't let the doctor be called, but just told the little girl to boil a bowl of chaihu soup to drink.

"Now that you're older and about to get married, in fact, a lot of times your grandmother has been thinking about it, thinking about what you looked like when you were born, a little pink group, and now you look more and more like your mother. The old lady raised her hand and touched Yuan Xi's hair: "Xi'er, I called you here today, there is actually something...... Well, how can this be said?"

Yuan Xi didn't know what to do, and Wen Ran looked at the old lady: "Grandmother, can't you tell me something?"

The old lady hesitated for a while, and she was helpless in her heart: "Now that you are about to leave the cabinet, grandmother has one thing in her heart, and she always feels that there is no certainty." Your mother married your father back then, although she was conspired by You's girl, and she had already produced you, but I ......" The old lady said for a long time, and she felt that it was inappropriate, so she waved her hand hurriedly: "Alas, what am I talking about? The older I get, the more confused I become, and I suspect that my granddaughter is coming." ”

She took Yuan Xi's hand and patted it lightly: "You are my granddaughter!"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, she vaguely felt the hesitation in the old lady's heart, was she doubting her origin?

Without waiting for Yuan Xi to react, the old lady still opened her mind and asked, "I just stabbed a few drops of blood from your father's hand, you, can you let grandma have a bottom in her heart?"

The old lady couldn't help but say, poured a bowl of water, took out a glass vial, and dripped Wei Dongshu's blood into the water.

The old lady gave way, and plucked a hairpin with a pointed hairpin from her head. Won-hee frowned as he watched the water in the bowl gradually break and turn light red and invisible.

"I don't have to test it, I already know the results. ”

The old lady looked at Yuan Xi expectantly: "That's?"

"It's not. Won-hee shook his head resolutely.

The old lady sat back for a moment, and her heart was half cold, wasn't it?

"You haven't tried it yet, how do you know the result?" The old lady still refused to believe it, and insisted on asking Yuanxi to prick blood with a hairpin. The granddaughter who has been raised for 16 years, the granddaughter who loves like a treasure, has no blood relationship with herself, and no one can accept this.

Yuan Xi was silent for a while: "The emperor told me that my mother was pregnant with me before she met my father." So I can't be the ...... of the Wei family."

Yuan Xi took the hairpin, still stabbed a drop of blood on his fingertips, dripping in the bowl, and the second drop of blood was ethereal in the water, but he could not merge with the first drop of blood. The old lady looked colder and colder, and she slowly lowered her head and sighed.

"I, can I still call you grandmother?" Won-hee suddenly felt that he had become a guest of the Wei family, or rather a stranger.

The old lady looked up and was silent. Won-hee pursed her lips, she really didn't seem qualified to say such a thing.

The old lady has always cultivated Yuanxi as the successor of the Wei Mansion, holding and protecting it everywhere, and after 16 years, she suddenly found that she had been working hard all along, and it felt like an old tree's hollowed out heart.

"Who is your biological father?" asked the old lady cautiously.

"It is the suzerain of Donglin Prefecture who was executed in the sixteenth year, Shangguan Linqing. Won-hee replied respectfully.

"Oh, that's the son inheriting the father's business now. The old lady sighed.

Yuan Xi looked at the old lady, and the grandmother didn't dare to scream for a long time, and the old lady smiled quite admiringly: "I didn't expect our chicken nest to fly out of the golden phoenix." ”

Yuan Xi's heart was like a knife when he heard this, and he knelt down in a hurry, and the old lady was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Sect Master, you really can't afford to be a kneeling old body." ”

"Grandmother!" Yuan Xi suddenly grabbed the old lady's arm, with tears in his eyes: "Grandmother, you are my real grandmother, Yuan Xi is free and has no mother, you raised me single-handedly, you have loved me for so many years, I know your sincerity." Although I am not your biological granddaughter, I have always treated you as a relative, if you have the heart to love your granddaughter again, your granddaughter will not be able to repay your great kindness in this life. ”

The old lady stiffened for a while, and her voice gradually choked: "Old body, old body is really ......"

"Grandmother, as long as you want, you are my grandmother, I can do nothing, I just ask you not to treat me as a stranger, I am your granddaughter, all my life. ”

The old lady wiped a handful of tears, what kind of bad fortune did she cultivate in her life, and when did she get the good fortune! She raised her hand and trembled and helped Yuan Xi: "Come, good boy, you get up first." ”

Yuan Xi took a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears, and gently stroked the old lady's back with one hand, and the old lady slowed down for a while, and finally came to her senses. Look up at Won-hee, as beautiful and well-behaved as when he was a child.

"Yuanjia offended you just now, don't take it to heart. Although the old lady was a comforting sentence, her words carried some pleading: "Actually, Yuanjia's child is just spoiled, give her some time, she will improve, really." ”

Yuan Xi didn't agree in his heart, but he still nodded approvingly, in order to reassure the old lady.

The old lady looked at Yuan Xi warmly for a while: "I really didn't expect that there was a crown princess in our family." When the old lady thought of Rong Zhan, she liked it in her heart: "The prince likes you, it's really a blessing from several lifetimes." If you want to say that your father and mother were like this, they raised their eyebrows like this. ”

The old lady said, feeling speechless for a while, although Princess Hanzhang married a businessman, but in the end she is still the golden branch and jade leaf of the imperial court, how can she use such an arrogant word as raising her eyebrows?

But Yuan Xi didn't care too much, thinking that he would be able to marry Rong Zhan immediately, and he was very happy. But if it comes too smoothly, it will always be reassuring, yes, it is too smooth, as if there is no hindrance.

"Does the Queen like you?" asked the old lady.

Queen?Yuanxi was silent for a while, and said that she hadn't seen the queen since she came back from Donglin. Last time, the queen was condescending to herself, and she changed her face faster than turning a book. This time it was the emperor's personal decree to marry him, will the queen still be as arrogant as the last time? Yuan Xi didn't know the bottom of his heart, but his first impression in the eyes of the queen was definitely not a good person.

"What's the matter, the queen doesn't like you?" the old lady pulled Yuan Xi: "In fact, every mother-in-law is like this, they pull their sons up like treasures, and in a blink of an eye, they will hand over their sons to other women to take care of, they will be more or less unhappy in their hearts, as long as you are filial to her with logistics, I think the queen will understand." ”

Won-hee snorted.

In the previous life, Xiao Rongshen's mother Liu Guifei was not like this, although she also loved her son, but she could not reach the queen's level. The queen seemed to be a little overly nervous, as if as soon as there was a little unfavorable news for Xiao Rongzhan, she would immediately spread her wings like a hen to protect her child.

As she was talking, Ju Xiang spread a word outside the door: "Third Miss, General Qin came to report that the queen mother had come to the prince's mansion, and passed you to meet in the past." ”

Yuan Xi inadvertently trembled, which frightened the old lady, this has not yet become their daughter-in-law, she has already become a frightened bird, if she gets married, she will not be worried all day long? The old lady hurriedly squeezed Yuan Xi's hand: "Okay, don't be nervous." ”

"Yes, grandmother, then I'll go. Yuan Xi bowed his head slightly.

The door was left and right, and when he saw Qin Shun standing respectfully outside the corridor, his face was a little flustered, and Yuan Xi was inexplicably nervous.

Yuan Xi frowned, Queen, it's just Rong Zhan's mother, and it's not a flood beast, what is there to be afraid of? Yuan Xi calmed down: "Qin Shun, let's go." ”

The queen's Luan car stopped in front of the prince's mansion, and the street was quiet two or three miles away, and the carriage was not allowed to pass at all, and Yuan Xi could only walk along the courtyard wall. The queen's shelf is getting bigger and bigger, and before Yuan Xi enters the prince's mansion, he called the little maid in the palace to search his body, but fortunately Yuan Xi didn't have any daggers and swords on him, otherwise he would have to be arrested by them as an assassin.

When they arrived at the second gate, some little girls came up to search it, and by the way, they took away the hairpin on Yuan Xi's head, and no one with a sharp child was allowed to enter. When he arrived at Rong Zhan's dormitory, Yuan Xi was completely looted, and even the purse containing broken silver was taken away. Yuan Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes, were they worried that they would use five taels of silver ingots to shoot the prince to death?

Rong Zhan leaned on the bed, the queen sat on a log pier next to the bed, Yuan Xi kowtowed, and the queen looked at her, like a golden-bodied Buddha in the temple, the Buddha's light shines, and he looks at all things.

"Chen Wei Yuanxi knocked on the queen's mother. ”

"Wei, I heard the emperor say, why didn't you change your father's surname back to Shangguan in your real surname?" the queen asked.

"Mother, this is the ...... of my father"

Rong Zhan was about to explain, but was stopped by the queen: "Zhan'er, you are also anxious, the queen mother is asking your crown princess, not you." ”

"Yes, if you go back to the queen's mother, the courtier's father's surname is Shangguan, but for sixteen years, she has been raised by the Wei Mansion, so her surname is Wei. The emperor previously instructed the courtiers to wait until all the stable things in Donglin Prefecture, and then let the courtiers recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, so they did not change their surnames. ”

"Oh. The queen glanced at her lightly: "I heard that you have been taking care of the prince here for the past few days?"

"Yes. Yuan Xi bowed his head slightly.

The queen laughed dryly: "That's right, the palace was about to ask you, how did the prince get hurt?"
