Chapter 507 Sensational Figure
Shen Yueyao really found it difficult to digest this news.
After being shocked, Su Xueyi calmed down a bit and said, "That should be the case."
When he first met Yao Niang's parents, he always felt that they did not look like ordinary farmers.
He guessed that perhaps they had hidden identities, perhaps they were hermit masters.
But it is impossible to imagine that their status could be so noble and honorable.
Young Marquis Xiao, now also Marquis Xiao, and the former Princess Yan Ning.
"If not for this, your mother wouldn't have taken out this token."
"Your mother's surname is not Cui, but Yan, and she is the most noble princess in the royal family."
Shen Yueyao's heart trembled. This news was too shocking.
She still found it hard to believe that her mother was a princess.
Her mother hid it too deeply.
I guess no one around here knows.
"Then my father, does he also have an identity?"
Su Xueyi said, "It is said that Young Marquis Xiao and Princess Yan Ning had a deep relationship. If the emperor at the time had not tricked Young Marquis Xiao into dying on the battlefield, Princess Yan Ning would never have gone to marry him."
"Even so, I heard that Princess Yan Ning wanted to commit suicide for love, but for the sake of the then queen and her family, she had to go and marry, but she died on the way."
"So, considering the relationship between Princess Yan Ning and Young Marquis Xiao, if they find each other, they will probably live in seclusion."
"If he were alive, I think many people would be happy."
"At that time, many people in Beijing supported them and said they were a match made in heaven."
Shen Yueyao said: "You know a lot."
Su Xueyi smiled and said, "I heard it from others, I don't know it myself."
"Furthermore, our emperor was not valued in the palace and suffered a lot. Princess Yan Ning protected him for several years when he was a child."
"It was Princess Yan Ning who arranged for my grandfather to teach him. He was already familiar with me at that time and often talked about his aunt, Princess Yan Ning."
"Princess Yan Ning died after I was born, and there was no news of her in the capital, so I never met her."
So even when he went to Xingshan Village to meet Shen Yueyao's parents, he didn't recognize their identities.
At this moment, Su Xueyi was really feeling a little sad.
"I think if the current emperor wasn't a wise ruler and someone Princess Yan Ning had protected and trusted, Princess Yan Ning might not have taken out this token even if we needed someone."
"Because once their identities are exposed, it might cause a sensation."
The two most influential figures of that year.
In the past, Su Xueyi felt deeply regretful when she listened to their legends, and thought how great it would be if these two brilliant people were still alive.
Who would have thought they were actually alive.
Su Xueyi felt an indescribable excitement in her heart.
I wish I could go see them right now.
However, Su Xueyi felt satisfied when she thought about having met them and heard them talk.
And Yao Niang is their daughter.
This made him even happier.
Shen Yueyao was speechless for a long time.
But she looked at Su Xueyi's expression and said, "Why do you look so happy?"
Su Xueyi said with a smile: "Don't you know that your parents were once the most famous figures in the Yan Dynasty."
"Your mother is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Although she is the legitimate daughter of the Queen, she is a most talented woman and a role model for the noble ladies in the capital."
"Your father is a skilled martial artist, well-versed in military tactics. At the age of twelve, he followed Marquis Xiao into battle and became famous in one battle..."
"Your father is also someone I admire."
"I've read your father's articles and feel deeply sorry for never having met him. I didn't expect he's still alive, and I'm so happy."
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, "Isn't he a military commander? How can he write a book?"
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao's silly expression, caressed her eyebrows lovingly and said, "You underestimate the people from the Marquis' Mansion. Your father is a man of both civil and military talents. Otherwise, why did the late Queen carefully select him to be the princess's consort? There must be a reason."
"Although the Xiao Mansion was sealed, my second brother secretly collected several articles written by your father, and I often take them out to read."
"If your father hadn't inherited a marquisate, he would have definitely been the top scorer in the imperial examination."
Shen Yueyao was even more shocked.
"I remember when I was little, my parents didn't like to send my brothers to school. They would teach them to read and write, and teach them some kung fu, but they wouldn't send them to academy. Whenever they mentioned the imperial examinations, they seemed unhappy."
"In the past two years, I no longer reject scientific expeditions."
"Is it because the previous emperor was on the throne?"
"Now that we have the current emperor, my parents will feel more at ease."
Some things that Shen Yueyao couldn't understand before, she suddenly figured it out.
In fact, my parents are still afraid that exposing their identities will bring them danger.
It was Yan Hanxi who sat in that position. He was someone my mother was familiar with and trusted, and she knew that he was a wise ruler, so my parents were not so worried.
Besides, both she and Su Xueyi are now valued by the emperor.
Su Xueyi said, "They were right to do so. The emperors before them would rather kill the innocent than let them go."
"Once we have any information, we will send assassins to do it."
"Before I passed the imperial examination and entered the capital, the emperor did not dare to show his respect for me. At that time, there were also some hostile forces in the court who wanted to undermine the emperor's power."
"Even now, we have to be cautious."
Shen Yueyao nodded in concentration, "I understand. I will put this token in the space."
“That way, no one will know.”
It is safest to put it in space.
"It seems that the power and people my mother left me must be very capable."
“That way we’ll have someone available in Rivers State.”
Su Xueyi felt much more relaxed.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are really amazing.
"But my parents are really generous. Aren't they afraid that the token will be lost?"
Su Xueyi said, "Don't worry, I've arranged for someone to personally deliver the letter and escort the package back personally. Nothing will happen."
Shen Yueyao said: "You are still thoughtful."
"But I think my parents like the peaceful and quiet life they have now. There are not so many trivial matters. She is with my father and sees their grandson every day. She is very happy."
Su Xueyi said, "Yes, it's simple, peaceful and comfortable. There's nothing much going on in the village, and the people are simple and honest."
"Even though my mother misses life in Liuhe Village, the Su family still has to return to the capital."
Some responsibilities cannot be shirked.
They have things to do.
Moreover, Yao Niang wants to do business, so he must be an official to protect her.
Besides, the Su family is there. They are not faking their death nor are they in retreat. Everyone can find out through investigation.
If he wants to protect his family, he can only return to the capital.
It’s just that my father-in-law and mother-in-law don’t want to restore their identities, and they won’t say it.
No one will be told.
Unless one day my father-in-law and mother-in-law bring it up themselves.
Shen Yueyao said: “I know, only in this way can the government be stable, the Great Yan Dynasty be peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace.”
"My mother and my brothers can live well too."
"And Dabao and Erbao will definitely take the imperial examinations in the future."
Their family had no hereditary title, so they could only rely on themselves to pass the imperial examinations.
After Shen Yueyao looked at the token for a while and put it into the space, she said, "I will visit these people according to the address on the letter in the next few days."
