15 Get rid of your father!
"Could it be that your father got into some romantic trouble outside and His Majesty found out? Could it be that His Majesty saw the girl he kept outside and came here to remind your father in various ways, fearing that your father would pretend to obey but secretly disobey, so he called me over to be reprimanded!"
Xiao Qu felt that he had discovered the truth, and the more he thought about it, the more he became biased. "If it's true, I will break his legs!!"
As he spoke, Xiao Qu was about to stand up, his whole body majestic and imposing, "He has let your mother and your three brothers and sisters down, I will break his legs right now and kick him out of the house alone!"
"Don't worry, my grandfather will open the ancestral hall tomorrow to remove your father from the family name. I will give you four mothers a separate page and record your mother as my, Xiao Qu's, biological daughter. You are still my biological grandchildren!"
The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Xiao Tingyun had no choice but to hold him back and said, "Grandfather, wait a minute! Don't you know what kind of person father is?"
Xiao Qu was afraid that he might hurt his granddaughter if he used too much strength, so he stopped and said, "Who knows what he did when he was studying abroad?!"
"Father has always been strict with himself, and he has an unwavering love for mother. Grandfather, don't think too much about it." Xiao Tingyun found it a little funny. Although it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines in this dynasty, the love between father and mother, who were a couple for their entire lives, was more touching.
This is also the love she hoped for.
Xiao Qu pondered for a long time and had a headache. He simply waved his hand and said, "I don't care what your father is like. Anyway, I only recognize the four of you. Now I want to hear your opinion on what His Majesty said?"
Xiao Tingyun didn't say anything, just deep in thought, his eyelashes fluttering slightly, the hot steam from the tea dyed his face, adding a bit of color.
My uncle and elder brother were also in the court, but they chose to call grandpa and father.
He just asked about his father's background as a third place scholar, and the problem was definitely about his father and grandfather.
It's similar...
Appearance...or something else?
In terms of appearance, my father does not resemble my grandfather.
My father and my grandmother look somewhat similar, but there is no reason for Your Majesty to ask about my grandmother's affairs.
Among her father's children, she is the most similar to her father, but she has never seen His Majesty, so his conclusion should be based on what he saw in the portrait.
A man, especially a man who controls the world, looking at a portrait of a woman...
Xiao Tingyun's heart skipped a beat and his eyes darkened.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tingyun suddenly felt uneasy. Her mother hinted that she was planning to choose a husband as soon as possible.
His Majesty's question at this time made it hard for her not to think too much, and the blood color just now faded a little.
Does Your Majesty intend to have the Xiao family's daughter enter the palace?
But what is the reason?
Check and balance or exploit...
Logically, she should be the second sister, but my father's official position is higher than my third uncle's, so my chances are even greater.
Suddenly feeling a headache, Xiao Tingyun raised his hand and pressed his forehead.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?" Xiao Qu's face suddenly became serious.
"Nothing." Xiao Tingyun forced a smile, hoping that he was just overthinking it.
There are many ways to understand similarity. It is possible that you meet an old friend who is similar to your father.
However, she really should consider her marriage as soon as possible.
If you cannot choose a satisfactory one, you may not be able to make your own decisions in the future.
But being satisfied...is not that simple.
"Since His Majesty has not said it explicitly, let's just pretend that nothing happened." Xiao Tingyun lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"That's what your father said, so it doesn't seem like a big deal." Xiao Qu nodded, speaking in a childish tone, "Since it's here, let's make the best of it. Your Majesty is not so blind as to know what's good for you, so just don't go crazy."
Xiao Tingyun: ...
Although my grandfather verbally disliked my father the most, he was also the one he valued the most.
Xiao Tingyun thought for a moment and then asked, "Has anything happened at the border recently?"
"No." Xiao Qu didn't know why his granddaughter mentioned the border, and still shook his head slightly.
Xiao Tingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That was good...
It shouldn't be what she thought.
*The next morning
Xiao Tingyun had just finished washing up and was eating a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and a few side dishes.
Lu Zhi talked about the Fourth Miss Xiao Tingxue with some emotion, "The Fourth Miss has finally recovered these days. I heard from the maids...it seems that the Fourth Miss's fall into the water this time is related to the Second Miss."
Xiao Tingyun scooped up a spoonful and tasted it slowly.
Hearing what Luzhi said, he didn't react at all. He just said "hmm" and put down the bowl of porridge, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Seeing this, Lanzhi stepped forward and handed over a bowl of tea.
The tea was just warm enough, Xiao Tingyun lightly pinched the tea lid with his fingertips, and the refreshing tea fragrance escaped.
Xiao Tingyun drank two sips and then stopped. Luzhi asked someone to take away the remaining food.
"I remember there is a hundred-year-old ginseng in the warehouse. Please find it and send it to Fourth Sister later." Xiao Tingyun took the wet handkerchief from the maid, wiped his hands, and said while lowering his eyes.
"yes."
…
Inside the palace walls, the glazed tiles shone in the moonlight, and the imperial guards performed their duties in an orderly, solemn and dignified manner.
Inside the Yanhua Palace, there were servants kneeling on the ground. The leader held a silver plate in his hand and knelt cautiously, begging, "Your Majesty, could you please turn over the cards?"
Pei Yuning sat in the hall, the candlelight was bright, holding a jade pen, and quietly wrote a word on the memorial, "Yes."
He closed it and threw it aside, then picked up another one and opened it slowly.
The eunuchs below were sweating profusely, and the eunuch Li Peijiang, who was holding the silver tray, couldn't help smiling bitterly in his heart.
Is it easy for him?
It is said that the chief eunuch of the Jingshifang is a good job with a lot of benefits, and the ladies in the various palaces have to give him some face.
But no matter how good this job is, the protagonist has to appear on stage before the song can continue!
It just so happens that this master of our family has only two princes and two princesses since he ascended the throne.
It was actually because the Empress Dowager forced her into the harem that she got it.
I heard earlier that Your Majesty often visited Guanghua Temple, and the Empress Dowager was afraid that Your Majesty would cut off worldly ties and enter Buddhism.
Your Majesty is pure-hearted and has few desires, but it is hard for him, who is on duty.
Not to mention the Empress Dowager, the ladies in the harem all looked upon him with a bad eye and blamed him for not doing his job well.
After kneeling for another half a minute, Li Peijiang swallowed his saliva and his hands shook a little.
He winked at Zhang Quanfu beside him: Brother, please help me!
Zhang Quanfu stood there calmly: Don’t look, don’t look, it’s ugly, I can’t help…
Li Peijiang: ...This heartless old thing! Don’t fall into his hands again!
It’s a knife whether it’s horizontal or vertical, so just die!
"Your Majesty, please..."
Pei Yuning said calmly, "Back off."
"Hey! I'll take my leave!"
Li Peijiang was waiting for this sentence. After hearing it, he responded immediately, and then took a few young eunuchs with him without any delay.
When he stood up, he glared at Zhang Quanfu, then pretended to be miserable and walked out of Yanhua Palace.
After going out, he reached the corner and immediately handed the silver plate to the eunuch next to him. He stood up and smiled: Hey, done!
Zhang Quanfu watched his smooth movements and the corners of his mouth twitched.
