44. Family Affection

When Xiang'er woke up, she found herself lying on a mat, covered with tulle on both sides, the room was full of flowers, the furnishings were luxurious and exquisite, and her hands were wrapped in bandages, her head was a little painful, and her body was weak. She thought, "Where am I? Master? What about Sister Xue? Where is my mother, Brother Chang Xuan?"

A maidservant girl walked into the house, and when she saw her appearance, she shouted for joy, "Miss, you are awake." Handing over a bowl of decoction and medicine, Xiang'er had no master, let the maid feed her the medicine, wipe her sweat, and asked, "This sister, where am I now?"

The maidservant replied respectfully: "The place where the young lady is located is the Juan Courtyard where the local Chiluda Flower used to live, and the princess and the county lord stayed here. ”

Xiang'er let out an "ah" and asked, "Where are my master and Sister Xue again?"

The maidservant said, "When they saw that you were safe, they went away first." ”

Xiang'er was in a hurry and said, "Why didn't they wait for me? Do you know where they went? Did they say they were coming to me?"

The maidservant smiled and said, "Miss Jin Zhiyuye, your identity is different from before, they won't leave you alone." The implication is that Goshawk and Xue Binghan must have a heart to please Xiang'er.

Xiang'er turned over and said, "I have to go find them quickly!"

The maidservant was startled and persuaded: "Miss, you have just woken up, your injuries have not healed, if you are gone, the princess will have to pick my skin." ”

Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly heard someone outside the house say softly: "Xiang'er, you kid, why don't you cherish yourself so much?"

Xiang'er followed the prestige, only to see Chang Xuan supporting Princess Jiangtang and slowly walking into the room. Xiang'er hesitated for a moment, didn't know what to call her, and said, "I have to go to my master and sister." ”

Princess Jiangtang looked at Xiang'er infatuatedly, and suddenly began to cry, her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears fell like rain. His expression was extremely sad. Xiang'er's nose was sour, tears burst out of her eyes, and she said: "I haven't known it, and I still can't believe it, I clearly remember my mother's appearance, how can I be your daughter, auntie?"

Princess Jiangtang said: "Child, you lie on the bed first, don't get tired, I'll tell you slowly." ”

Xiang'er hesitated a little and sat on the bed. Princess Jiangtang sat down on the edge of the bed, and the maidservant obediently retreated, closing the door, leaving only Xiang'er, the princess, and Chang Xuan in the room.

Princess Jiangtang stretched out her hand to caress Xiang'er's face, and combed her hair, both mother and daughter felt strange, but the family affection was natural, and they felt very happy, and they just wanted to be so affectionate forever. There will never be a separation again. Chang Xuan stood beside him, smiling and looking relieved.

Princess Jiangtang said: "My name is Nan Yue'e, if you don't call me my mother." Just call me Aunt Yue. ”

Xiang'er didn't know how to answer, just stared at her, Nan Yue'e smiled sadly, and said, "Although I am the princess of Jiangtang. But in fact, he and I are not really husband and wife, and he has not touched my body for decades. Your true father. is named Duan Yinbao, and he is a world-famous master today. ”

Xiang'er was shocked, her eyes were dark, and she almost fainted, Chang Xuan hurriedly pinched her, patted her Baihui and Lingtai acupoints, and helped her stabilize her mind, Xiang'er shouted: "My father will never be Duan Yinbao! He is a big villain, his father is called Wen Dongliu, and he is a talented person with a university question." ”

Nan Yue'e said: "Silly boy, have you seen your father, Brother Duan, why do you call him a villain?"

Xiang'er remembered Duan Yinbao's appearance before he died, he was unusually kind to herself, she was puzzled and puzzled at that time, and at this moment she was even more at a loss, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Nan Yue'e was about to meet Duan Yinbao, and King Jiangtang promised to marry Duan Yinbao, but he married himself and became the princess of Jiangtang. Xiang'er had overheard Duan Yinbao talk about the experience back then, and once she mentioned it at this moment, she understood it.

Nan Yue'e said: "After I gave birth to you, my body was weak, and I immediately passed out, and I only had time to look at you. Then you somehow disappear, and soon after, another baby returns. I was disturbed when I saw that the baby looked different from you, but I thought I had lost my eyes. Later, I secretly asked those maids and wet nurses, but they couldn't be determined. Although I have suspicions, my energy is weak, and I have no time to study it in detail, and then Dong Yao she gradually grew up, and I raised this child wholeheartedly, and I always thought that she was my own flesh and blood, until today, God is pitiful, let you and my mother and daughter reunite"

Xiang'er recalled what Duan Yinbao said, which was in line with what Nan Yue'e said, and she saved Nan Yue's life with blood, so far there was no doubt in her heart, and she completely believed Nan Yue'e's words. Seeing Nan Yue'e crying hard, she hugged her hard and cried in a low voice: "Mom, you are really my mother." ”

Nan Yue'e was overjoyed, kissed Xiang'er the cheek, and said: "My good daughter, you have been wandering for so many years, suffering and suffering, and feeling so uncomfortable for your mother, from now on, you will stay by my side, and you are not allowed to go anywhere, I will let you enjoy all the glory and wealth, and dress you up beautifully, and everyone praises you." ”

Xiang'er panicked for no reason, and thought: "Am I going to stay with my mother for the rest of my life? Master, Sister Xue, what should they do? But mother, she is lonely and weak, if I don't accompany her, what should she do? And Chang Xuan's brother "looked at Chang Xuan and felt attachment.

Chang Xuan said: "Princess, there is a great difficulty in it. ”

The princess turned her head and said, "What's the difficulty?"

Chang Xuan said: "Miss Xiang'er has no name, if she stays here, she is only afraid of causing gossip." ”

Nan Yue'e said angrily: "This matter has long been known by Dong Yao and Timur! You said it in public at the time, why did you have no scruples, but now you are afraid?"

Chang Xuan said: "I was anxious to save the princess's life, and I wanted your mother and daughter to meet, so"

Nan Yue'e was angry for a moment, stunned for a long time, and said softly: "I don't blame you for this, Xiang'er's life experience, let's make up excuses for the time being, I guess those subordinates don't dare to talk more, hmph, although I am usually polite to them, but if they chew the root of their tongue indiscriminately, won't I kill people?"

Chang Xuan knew that this Nan Yue'e was also quite favored in front of Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan often quietly went out of the palace and had a tryst with Nan Yue, King Jiangtang took advantage of his wife's relationship to enjoy all the glory, and his status was as stable as Mount Tai, he deliberately turned his eyes open and closed his eyes to this ugly thing, and was polite to Nan Yue, and never dared to offend him a little. King Jiangtang may still think that Xiang'er is the daughter of Kublai Khan, but instead worship her as a pearl.

Thinking of this, Chang Xuan nodded humbly and remained silent.

Xiang'er remembered the county lord of Dong Yao again, and asked, "What about Sister Dong Yao, will she be angry with her mother?"

Nan Yue'e smiled bitterly: "She is not my biological daughter, and I don't know who dropped the bag, but this little girl is very pleasing to me, so I naturally want to treat her well."

Chang Xuan suddenly looked out of the house, smiled slightly, then turned his head, and the princess asked, "Chang Xuan, what's wrong?"

Chang Xuan said: "It's nothing, it's a trivial matter." ”

Nan Yue'e said: "Xiang'er, I will first wronged you, recognize you as my goddaughter, from now on, I will be doubly good to you, make up for my careless mistakes in the past, and repay you for saving your life." ”

Xiang'er was reluctant to part with her, and she was reluctant to Chang Xuan in front of her, nodded, and said, "Can you pass on my master and Sister Xue to come to meet me?" This matter is too important, I can't help but tell them. ”

Nan Yue'e said: "The habits of the two of them are too heavy, but their martial arts are indeed extremely high, far better than those pus-filled guards in the palace, so let's recruit them into the mansion, reward them with an official position, and let them stay with you, what do you think?"

Xiang'er smiled: "They will definitely refuse, but you might as well give it a try." ”

Chang Xuan said: "The villain will go and arrange this matter for the princess and the county lord." ”

He retreated out of the house, through the promenade garden, past an attic, and was suddenly firmly grasped by four or five guards, pressed to the ground, and they gagged his mouth with rags, tied tightly, and sent him to the attic, and with a bang, the guards threw him to the ground, he snorted, raised his head, and saw the lord of Dongyao County with a fierce look in his eyes, looking at him deadly, and said fiercely: "Chang Xuan, you dog slave, but you are impatient?"

Chang Xuan's eyes were calm, and he shook his head, Dong Yao saw him like this, his anger was even hotter, and he shouted: "Beat me hard!" She was usually very fond of Chang Xuan, but at this moment, when she learned that he betrayed her, she hated from love, and she gritted her teeth even more, eager to split his body into five horses and make him torture to death.

Chang Xuan suddenly spit out the rags, turned around, bypassed the guards, and came closer, the rope on his body was already loose, Dong Yao was shocked, he didn't know that he had such a clever trick, and said angrily: "Are you rebelling?

Chang Xuan said: "Lord Dongyao, princess, she is not a stupid person. If you suddenly torture me, whether I live or die, she will know that you have a ghost in your heart. ”

The county lord of Dongyao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be a ghost in my heart?"

Chang Xuan looked at the guards behind him, and Dong Yao immediately woke up and shouted, "You all go downstairs for me!"

The guards withdrew according to their words, and Chang Xuan said: "You have been cared for by the princess since you were a child, you are pampered, you have a straightforward temperament, you don't know how to deceive me, I have always been polite to you, and the princess also loves you like her life." But if thou hurt me, the princess will know that thou hast eavesdropped outside the house."

Dong Yao screamed, shook his head desperately, and said, "I didn't, I didn't!"

Chang Xuan said: "Once she knows about this, she will be jealous of you, and it will be difficult for you to please her in the future, and even worse, she will gradually look at you unpleasantly, thinking that you are resentful of her, and you will be able to imagine the consequences." ”

Dong Yao covered his ears, stomped his feet and said, "I don't listen, I don't listen to your nonsense, I don't know anything." ”

Chang Xuan smiled and said softly: "Sister of the county lord, this is a smart person, sometimes, pretending to be stupid and swallowing your anger is the best policy." The better you treat Sister Xiang'er in the future, the happier the princess will be, and not only will you not suffer, but you will benefit more from it. ”

Dong Yao pursed his lips and couldn't help but sobbed quietly, Chang Xuan smiled: "Good boy, good boy, what are you crying about? He held Dong Yao in his arms, the smile on his face became more and more cheerful, and his face became a little less human. (To be continued.) )
