Empress Xu is the wife of the current emperor Xiao Xuan, the second Empress of Great Qi after Empress Lin, and the biological mother of Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhinan.
A woman who can give birth to such two outstanding children will not be an ordinary person.
The Xu family she was born in, as early as the previous dynasty, was a prominent family with the Xiao family, her grandfather Xu Lin was an official in the same dynasty as the Wuzu Emperor Xiao Lie, after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, Xu Lin was named the king of Xihe County, and was the first governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the Lingyan Pavilion meritorious hero ranked second, second only to Lan Yu.
Her brother Xu Yan, known as the three heroes along with Han Xuan and Duanmu Ruisheng, was listed in the same Lingyan Pavilion as his grandfather, if he hadn't died young, I am afraid that he would have taken over as Lan Yu's cabinet chief assistant at this time.
The daughters taught by such a prominent family are no worse than the princesses of the Xiao family.
As for Queen Xu's own means, Xiao Zhinan, the daughter, knows best in her heart, although others say that she is like her grandmother Queen Lin, who has been deceased for many years, but her methods are learned from her mother.
If you compare your grandmother to your mother.
The grandmother is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, domineering and strong, while the mother is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, hiding needles in the cotton.
Queen Xu doesn't like the young man with the same surname as herself, for many reasons, and the fundamental reason is still a sharp word.
Although the married woman is already regarded as a foreign surname, but in the end it is still towards her own family, Queen Xu's maiden family has no outstanding children, so she will never want to marry her daughter to her nephew, but the Xu family has been deeply involved with the Duanmu family in recent years, and the entanglement of interests is even more indescribable.
Marrying Xiao Zhinan to Duanmu Yu, one can strengthen the connection between the Xu family and the Duanmu family, and the other can appease Duanmu Ruisheng, who is swaying left and right, for the emperor and queen is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, the marriage is almost decided, but the spirit treasure seal that Xu Beiyou asked Xiao Yuanying to bring back made Emperor Xiao decide to put this marriage aside first.
Jun Wu's joke is not an empty word, this seal engraved with the word Lingbao is a promise made by the Emperor of Great Qi to the sect master of the Sword Sect, and a Duanmu family is not enough for Emperor Xiao to break his promise.
Because of this, the attitude of the Duanmu family became unclear in an instant, and even the relationship with the Xu family was a little delicate, which made Queen Xu, who was used to holding everything in her hands, not feel annoyed?
In fact, the fundamental reason is not Xu Beiyou's obstruction, but Xiao Zhinan's unwillingness to marry Duanmuyu, but no matter what, after all, it is her own daughter, and Queen Xu is reluctant to treat Xiao Zhinan, so she can only vent all her anger on Xu Beiyou's head.
Xiao Zhinan has a very good relationship with his aunt Xiao Yuyi, but he has a mediocre relationship with his biological mother, which is not without reason.
Xiao Yuyi and Queen Xu are also not optimistic about Xu Beiyou, but one is from Xiao Zhinan's future, and the other is from the perspective of her mother's family's gains and losses.
Xiao Zhinan never told Xu Beiyou about these things, she didn't want Xu Beiyou to bear too much pressure, but she also had a little selfishness, she was afraid that Xu Beiyou would be frightened, and then retreated.
Now it seems that there is only one Xu Beiyou who is expected to replace Duanmuyu, and if he also runs, Xiao Zhinan really doesn't know how to move next.
Xiao Zhinan knew very well in his heart that in his marriage, it was not his mother who could make a decision, but his father, and his father would not care about the Xu family, nor would he care about the Duanmu family, he only cared about the temple.
In today's temple, Han Xuan is undoubtedly his father's right-hand man, and he is an indispensable person for "inverting blue".
Few people can make that desireless and rigid Han Ge Lao care, Xu Beiyou, as his only adopted son, is counted as one.
At this juncture, Emperor Xiao couldn't help but consider Han Xuan's feelings.
As for how Empress Xu knew about the correspondence between the two, it was actually very simple, Xiao Zhinan out of some considerations, the letter delivery was in the way of the celebrant eunuch, so that it was impossible to avoid the celebrant palm print Zhang Baisui, and Zhang Baisui's counterpart was the eldest aunt's ink book.
In Xie Yuan, Xu Beiyou once met Zhang Baisui and Moshu respectively.
Zhang Baisui was very cold to him, but Moshu was quite gentle.
Xu Beiyou didn't know that Zhang Baisui, who was very cold to him on the surface, actually spoke highly of him, but the seemingly gentle ink book had a lot of criticism for him.
Moshu's dissatisfaction with Xu Beiyou is actually somewhat similar to Xiao Yuyi, she feels that this young man's ambition is too great.
So this time, Moshu stood on Queen Xu's side, and when she accidentally learned that the two had a correspondence, she informed Queen Xu of the matter, hoping that Queen Xu would come forward to end the matter.
Empress Xu did not get angry when she learned of this, let alone summon Xiao Zhinan immediately, but chose to wait and see what happened.
After all, the young man in Jiangnan is not a small person, not to mention his identity as Han Xuan's adopted son, just the reputation of Xu Gongzi in Jiangdu has been spread to the imperial capital.
Queen Xu knew that even if she made a move herself, she would have to do it slowly, and it was best not to use force.
She is also a person from the past, she knows the love and love of young people, the more you oppose it, the more determined they are, if you let it go, maybe you will fend for yourself.
Thinking about it, Queen Xu had a little headache.
This daughter of her has been assertive since she was a child, like the deceased mother-in-law, especially that face, every time she sees it, she will think of what her mother-in-law looked like when she was alive, and in those years, she was very angry in front of her mother-in-law, and she was resentful and had nowhere to vent, so she was not very close to this daughter. It was only at this time that she suddenly realized that compared to the son who carried her high hopes, she didn't put too much effort into her daughter, and it was impossible to talk about understanding the word.
Xiao Zhinan has always known that her mother doesn't like her very much, and her innate self-esteem and pride make her unwilling to deliberately please her mother, and the relationship between mother and daughter can be seen, so when her mother advocated marrying her to Duanmu Yu, she had neither anger nor resentment, and even expected it to be so.
The fifth day of the fifth month of May, Daughter's Day.
On this day, Xiao Zhinan wrote a letter to Xu Beiyou, but the letter could not be sent and was intercepted halfway.
Xiao Zhinan was not completely blind, she learned the news that night, and she was as smart as she quickly figured out the cause and effect, so she didn't continue to write the letter, but just asked Han Ge Lao to send a message to Xu Beiyou.
On the other hand, Xu Beiyou did not receive Xiao Zhinan's letter for a long time, and the few letters he wrote were like sinking into the sea, and they were unprecedentedly suffering from some gains and losses, and he didn't let go until he got Xiao Zhinan's message.
However, Xu Beiyou suddenly missed that unusual woman very much.
It is said that if you don't forget, there will be an echo.
He didn't know where his reverberation was, but he knew he was really tempted.
The feeling came so violently that it was like bursting magma.
Feelings are easy to fall into, but it is difficult to climb out again, especially to climb out unscathed, which is even more difficult, so there is a saying that wielding a sword to cut love.
Xu Beiyou can't wield the sword, let alone cut the love silk that has taken root and sprouted, so he can only go with his heart.
It can be seen that Xiao Zhinan's life in the imperial capital is not smooth, and it is even a little unsightly.
Xu Beiyou made up his mind in his heart to end the Jiangnan affair as soon as possible within one to two years, and then the north god.
Just look at the refreshing one
