Chapter 349: Shame

Perhaps he didn't know how to face Xia Qianwei and Xia Yihai, Xia Changfeng only left a few words in the letter, and then left this mansion full of endless sad memories.

And Xia Yihai said that the outside is his future, so he didn't mention it anymore.

Wen's body was handed over to the government, and there was a woman present to testify, and the previous gossip was immediately self-defeating, setting off an uproar, leaving only a sigh.

But the next day, a carriage from the palace stopped at the gate of the general's mansion early.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general!" I saw the father-in-law of the imperial front holding a scroll of holy decree in his hand and greeted Xia Yihai in front of him.

After experiencing the events not long ago, the Xia Mansion looked at the smiling face of his father-in-law at this time, but he was angry.

The old lady's temples turned much whiter overnight, and at this moment she was supported by Xia Qianwei, and leaned over to answer the order with a puzzled look.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, recently the border court is in an emergency, the small foreign country has repeatedly violated the border, in order to promote the prestige of our country, educate the state of Fanbang to be brutal, and declare the benevolence and righteousness of Zhen, I hereby appoint Huaihua General Xia Yihai as the general of the town army, temporarily stationed in Beijing to standby, Wangqing encouragement, live up to my trust, and admire this. ”

Xia Yihai couldn't help frowning, Your Majesty has named him a second-rank general, but there is no need for him to lead the troops to the border, just stay in Beijing and stand by?

Xia Yihai thinks that he has assisted General Zhenguo in handling military affairs over the years, and he has not made great contributions, isn't His Majesty's move equivalent to promoting him for no reason, there is such a good thing in the world?

"The general of the town army still doesn't thank you?" the father-in-law squinted slightly, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Xia Yihai thanking him, he reminded him funny, and the burly man in front of him came back to his senses.

"The last general will thank the emperor!"

Without waiting for Xia Yihai to ask something, the former father-in-law opened his mouth in an envious tone, "The general has a good daughter!

As soon as these words came out, everyone only felt extremely strange, but Xia Qianwei didn't know why a thought flashed keenly in her mind, she immediately went up to her father-in-law's hand and stuffed the ingot and rewarded silver, "There is Father-in-law Lao, I don't know which sister won this honor?"

I saw that this father-in-law looked at Xia Qianwei's face deeply, and remembered that he had often heard the saint mention this Yongle county lord during this time, so he naturally accepted the reward and said with a smile, "Naturally, she is the ninth lady of your mansion, and now she is Your Majesty's Lan Meiren, and she is also the old lady Xia and the general of the town army." ”

The old lady only felt a chill on the soles of her feet, Lan Meiren?!

So during this period of time, Xia Xiang was nowhere to be found, did she enter the palace and serve the emperor......? Where did she get the guts, where did she get the cheeks?!

Xia Yihai's eyes changed suddenly, he lowered his head and looked at the holy decree in his hand, and suddenly realized.

My missing daughter has become a person in the emperor's harem, but I am afraid that this general of the town army is just a plausion given by His Majesty in order to block the mouth of the Xia family!

A daughter is exchanged for a second-rank general, Xia Yihai doesn't want to imagine how rash His Majesty was when he drafted this holy decree.

What the hell is going on? Xia Xiang is a sinner in the General's Mansion! Xia Yihai never thought that one day, the emperor's grace would become a great shame for their Xia family!

The father-in-law in front of the emperor clearly saw the indescribable strangeness of the expressions of everyone in the Xia family, and he wondered in his heart, why shouldn't this great thing be such a reaction?

"Lan Meiren has been weak since she was a child, and she is afraid that she will not serve the emperor well. Xia Qianwei, who was the most calm, smiled calmly, but the former father-in-law replied with a deep meaning, "The county lord of Yongle doesn't have to worry, Lan Meiren is deeply liked by His Majesty, and her exquisite and well-behaved people are pitiful, and Your Majesty also said that if the county lord misses his sister, he can often enter the palace to accompany him." ”

Hearing this, the old lady immediately came back to her senses, and a strong uneasiness grew bigger and bigger.

Today's holy words sound unintentional, but in fact, there is a heart, my father-in-law came to read the holy decree today, I am afraid that he still wants to come to probe the wind and try his granddaughter's wishes, right?

Xia Yihai only felt that his sanity was about to get out of control, if it weren't for the old lady secretly pulling it, I was afraid that he would have unceremoniously sent this father-in-law out of the house!

Xia Qianwei was unmoved, but the father-in-law in front of her tirelessly mentioned the grace of Concubine Li's mother back then, as if as long as Xia Qianwei nodded at this moment, she would be able to become the second Concubine Li tomorrow, and even more!

"Father-in-law!" Xia Yihai finally couldn't help it, he was about to speak out to stop this impatient father-in-law with a calm expression, but who knew that the other party seemed to be aware of his intentions, but smiled open-mindedly, "By the way, Your Majesty has given a table of good wine and food, please enter the palace to reunite with Lan Meiren, I believe that the general thinks of the girl, it is better to set off with the miscellaneous family." ”

What? Natsuka still has the face to see them?!

"Please wait a minute, father-in-law, I'll prepare first. Old Madam Xia replied one step ahead of Xia Yihai, and then with a gesture of a look, the old housekeeper respectfully invited the former father-in-law into the carriage and waited outside.

"How can this be reasonable!" Xia Yihai only felt that the blood in his body was flowing backwards, and he looked at Xia Qianwei nervously and heavily, "Qianwei, you go back to the house to pack your baggage, and send you out of Beijing for your father!"

Of course, Old Madam Xia knew Xia Yihai's worries, but she was afraid that if she entered the palace this time, her granddaughter would not be able to come out!

"Father, don't be impatient, Qianwei must accompany him today. ”

"Why?" the crowd was stunned.

"The holy decree is clearly written, I want my father to stay in Beijing and stand by, if Your Majesty is unhappy and sends my father to the border to suppress the invading barbarians, the Xia family will completely become a fish on the sword. ”

Xia Changfeng was no longer in the mansion, only a group of female dependents remained, Xia Yihai's face turned pale, and he immediately understood that the situation of the Xia family was extremely dangerous!

Therefore, this general of the town army is a knife hanging over the head of the Xia family, and when it falls depends on His Majesty's mood!

If the Xia family is ruined, how long will she be favored?!" The old lady slapped her thigh hatefully, as if she thought that this idea was blown by the wind on Xia Xiang's pillow.

Otherwise, how could the king of a dignified country do such a thing, openly and secretly snatch the daughter of a courtier who still has a marriage contract!

Xia Qianwei knew in her heart that Xia Xiang was only adding fuel to the fire at most, how could she have such a great ability to influence the emperor's decision.

"Father, grandmother, Qianwei is still safe at the moment, today is not necessarily a Hongmen banquet, after all, Your Majesty still has to take care of the mood of General Zhenguo. ”

Xia Qianwei's words reminded everyone that even if the entire Chen Kingdom knew that she was about to divorce the Leng family, but now, she was still Leng Yuhan's fiancΓ©e, no matter how stupid Emperor Chen was today, he would not dare to do such a ridiculous thing that would have been stinking for thousands of years.

After a period of silence, the old lady took a deep breath, and her mood had regained her calmness, "In that case, I will also enter the palace with you to meet this good granddaughter of the glorious ancestors!"
