Baili Feng and Baili Hua are the two younger brothers of Queen Baili. The elder one is in his early 50s and the younger one is 48 years old.
Although the two men had been exiled to a wild land for many years, exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and their skin was dark and rough, they were still in good spirits.
Everyone sat down in the flower hall, and several young men and women came over to greet them.
Baili Feng introduced them as his own children, Xia Zhengqi's cousins.
Because when they were exiled, Baili Feng and Baili Hua were still unmarried. After arriving at the place of exile, the two brothers got married when they were already old.
He married daughters from ordinary local farmers' families.
Therefore, their children are also very young.
Baili Feng has a son and a daughter. His son, Baili Ming, is 22 years old, and his daughter, Baili Ning, is 20 years old.
Baili Hua has one son and two daughters. His son Baili Xin is eighteen years old, his eldest daughter Baili Ying is sixteen years old, and his youngest daughter Baili Yun is fifteen years old.
[Alas, my cousins have all suffered. Although they are children of wealthy families, they grew up in a cold and harsh place.]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at his cousins and sighed.
Huh? Who's talking?
Baili Feng, Baili Hua and the five children were all stunned.
It's a shame they don't have good living conditions and don't receive the education that children from wealthy families receive. Fortunately, they're still young, so it's not too late to start learning now.
Xia Zhengqi listened to his daughter's thoughts and nodded slightly in agreement.
Baili and his son were stunned again.
Judging from the voice and tone, it seemed that the little princess said it, but when they looked at the little princess, they found that she was holding an apple and eating it, and didn't say anything at all.
Could it be that he was too excited to see the Emperor and Empress and was hallucinating?
The queen hurriedly asked several cousins to sit down.
"My two uncles, I have already investigated the case of the Baili family. It is confirmed that it was a false accusation. The injustice of the Baili family can finally be cleared." Xia Zhengqi said while suppressing his emotions.
Baili Feng and Baili Hua's eyes instantly turned red, and the two old men almost cried.
"We, the Baili clan, followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world and have always been loyal to Daxia. How could we betray our country for money?" Baili Feng said with difficulty, tears in his eyes about to burst out.
"Back then, it must have been that traitor who framed the Baili family!" Baili Hua said angrily.
Does Grandpa Uncle also know what happened back then? Does he know that it was the Jiang family who framed him?
Baili and his son heard the strange sound again.
Could it be the voice of the heart? The voice of the little princess?
Baili Feng and Baili Hua glanced at each other, then nodded in understanding. They then glanced at the servants standing by, finding no expression on their faces.
Could it be that people who are related to the little princess by blood can hear her inner voice?
Such a young princess seems to know a lot of things. Is she a fairy who has descended to earth?
"Second brother, don't talk nonsense." Baili Feng said to his brother to cover up his previous gaffe.
Xia Zhengqi's face showed guilt: "I have already found out who was behind the murder of the Baili family, but now is not the best time to eliminate the root cause."
"However, I promise you today that I will bring the person behind this to justice. Just wait and see, uncles."
Baili Feng and Baili Hua nodded.
"I have already drafted an edict to restore the Baili clan's title, and have my eldest uncle inherit it."
Baili Hong, the old man of the Baili family, followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. He was a founding hero of Daxia and was named Duke of Weiguo by Emperor Taizu.
Of course, the Baili family was framed and convicted, and their titles were revoked.
"Uncle, I know of your great reputation as a frontier garrison commander. Right now, the position of Minister of War is vacant. I would like to invite you to take over."
Baili Feng's eyes were already filled with tears. He bowed and said, "I am willing."
"As for my uncle, I have already conferred upon you the title of Marquis of Anyuan."
"Recently, spies have been active frequently, and foreign forces have even infiltrated the imperial palace. I plan to form an army specifically responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial palace, called the Akabane Army." Xia Zhengqi said as he turned around and shook Baili Hua's hand.
"I intend to hand this matter over to my uncle and let you be the general of the Akabane Army."
Baili Hua was also very excited after hearing this.
Baili Feng and Baili Hua's wives were both from peasant families and had never seen such a scene before. They were so moved that they burst into tears and didn't know what to do with their hands and feet.
Xia Zhengqi's cousins were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
It was only after Eunuch Debao reminded them that several people bowed and expressed their gratitude.
[I'm so moved!] Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but shed tears.
[In the book, the Baili clan was unable to redress their grievances until the end.]
[Both of my uncles were outstanding men, and their children were also good, but they were buried in the countryside.]
Later, after Grand Tutor Jiang attempted to usurp the throne, he increased taxes, causing great hardship for the people. Liang forces then invaded the capital. Unable to bear the sight of the Great Xia Empire in ruin, the two uncles raised the banner of rebellion and assembled an army of 20,000 men.
[They searched hard for the royal bloodline and wanted to restore the orthodoxy of Daxia, but the process was extremely difficult.]
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but recall the plot in the book.
The Baili righteous army rose up to resist the Jiang Dynasty. Although they were popular among the people, their strength was limited and they were eventually suppressed in a bloody manner.
The Baili clan was eventually completely slaughtered.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect that the Baili family had such an epic experience in the previous life.
