Chapter 363 Question
A night of passion.
The next day, he did not wake up until noon. After breakfast, Xie Guimo accompanied Chen Tang to pay his respects to the old lady.
After all, it was Chinese New Year. The old lady forced herself to get up from her sickbed, but her complexion was very bad. "The old prince didn't even come back to Beijing for Chinese New Year. What on earth was he busy doing out there?"
Chen Tang knew a little bit about what the old prince was busy with, after all, she had stayed in Jingyang Palace for four years in her previous life.
The old prince helped the court train a cavalry. There were not many of them, only two thousand men, but their combat power was amazing. In his previous life, Xie Guimo was invincible on the battlefield, and this cavalry made a great contribution.
The old prince likes to lead troops to fight. It is impossible for him to leave the cavalry without training and return to Beijing for the New Year. The soldiers also have wives, children and elderly people, and they can endure it. He should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers when spending the New Year in the barracks.
But the old prince did not reveal these things to the old lady, and the prince and Xie Guimo did not tell them either. Chen Tang would certainly not tell the old lady either, and she probably would not believe it even if he told her.
The younger generations paid their respects, and the old lady gave red envelopes to each of them. Like the princess, the one in Chen Tang's belly also received a share.
The red envelope given by the princess was three thousand taels, the prince gave five thousand taels, and the old lady gave one hundred taels each. There are many young people in the Jingyang Palace, so it cannot be said that the old lady gave less.
The old lady forced herself to get up from the bed, but she couldn't hold on for a while. In addition, Chen Tang was pregnant, and Xie Guimo didn't like her to stay in Wutong Courtyard for too long, so she left after sitting for a while.
The court was on holiday for seven days, and the prince did not have to go to the military camp, so he stayed in the Peony Courtyard. As for Concubine Jiang, she was still in the courtyard accompanying Jiang Huier. The prince asked her to go and stay for a few more days. What could Concubine Jiang do? It was she who said that Jiang Huier was lonely and needed someone to accompany her, so she could only swallow her anger.
On the first day of the new year, they had lunch and dinner at the princess's place, and continued to visit the lantern festival in the evening. The next day, Xie Guimo accompanied Chen Tang to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Chen Tang hasn't been back to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion for some time. The old lady looks fine, but Chen Xian is "dead", the second wife is gone, and the second master's legs are broken. He can only use a wheelchair and can no longer serve as an official in the court. Maybe the old lady has come to terms with it. After all, Chen Xian committed a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of her clan, and it is not easy for the second master to survive.
In addition, Chen Tang blocked the news about the second house, and no one deliberately mentioned the second house in front of the old lady. The old lady knew Chen Tang's temper. If she continued to think about the second house, the second master would not only lose his legs, but also his life.
Chen Xing was found and brought up very well. The old lady finally let go of the worry that had been hanging on her mind for more than ten years and enjoyed the joy of having her children and grandchildren around her.
In addition, Shen Xing recognized Envoy Lu and Madam Lu as his adoptive father and mother.
General Lu and his family had arrived in Beijing a few days ago. Young Master Lu and Shen Xing went a hundred miles away to greet them. On the day of their arrival in Beijing, Shen Sui and Xiao Huan went to Shili Pavilion to welcome them.
You thank me and I thank you.
The Pingyuan Marquisate thanked the Lu family for raising Shen Xing, and Envoy Lu thanked Xiao Huan and the Pingyuan Marquisate for helping the Lu family overturn the case.
They are all grateful people and get along very well with each other.
Shen Sui saw that the girl from the Lu family was good, two years younger than Lu Xing, and the age was suitable, so he secretly asked Shen Xing if he wanted to arrange a marriage for him. This scared Shen Xing, "What is father talking about? That's my sister!"
Although he was not a biological child, he never knew that he was not a biological child of the Lu family until something happened to the Lu family.
In his eyes, she was his biological sister.
It’s a pity my father would dare to marry my own sister.
Shen Sui wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two families, but Shen Xing didn't mean to do so, so he didn't force it. He just asked Shen Xing to recognize General Lu and his wife as his adoptive father and mother. General Lu and his wife were very happy, and so was Shen Xing.
Everyone is happy.
The Lu family treated Chen Xing well, and the old lady, the daughter of the Lu family, treated her as her own granddaughter, and the two families were as close as one family.
Xie Guimo accompanied Chen Tang back, and everyone in Pingyuan Marquis's mansion was happy. The old lady gave red envelopes, one thousand taels per person, and Shen Sui also gave one.
Chen Tang said, "Grandma looks much better."
The old lady smiled and said, "Your father has someone to succeed him. Grandmother has no regrets. She only hopes to live a few more years to see your second brother get married and have children."
Chen Tang said, "Grandmother will live a long life."
The fourth wife said, "That's right. Not only will we see the second young master get married and have a great-grandson, but also a great-great-grandson."
Everyone was talking to each other, and the old lady's face was so wrinkled with laughter that several wrinkles appeared on her face.
Xiao Huan and Princess Roujia also came back. Because Princess Roujia was adopted and Xiao Huan became a daughter-in-law, they could only return to Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion on the second day of the New Year and go to Prince Duan's Mansion on the third day. Prince Duan and Princess Duan did not care about this.
Everyone had lunch together, it was very lively. After lunch, they sat for another half an hour before returning to Prince Jingyang's Palace.
On the third day, we went to the Jiang family, on the fourth day, we went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, and on the fifth day, we took a day off. Then it was the sixth day, the day for the court to attend court.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has a clan, and neither Xie Guimo nor the prince revealed what they found. Chu Yi and the others knew about it, but they didn't tell anyone. With the reaction of the Marquis of Changping, Xie Guimo didn't even feel comfortable sending secret guards to protect him. Whoever dared to make a noise everywhere, if he brought disaster to Old Master An, he would become a sinner.
Therefore, at the morning court session that day, the prince reported to the emperor that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had found the clan relatives, and he asked the emperor to allow the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to adopt an heir. All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
Several old ministers knew that the old Duke of Zhenguo was separated from his family when he was young, and later wandered around and joined the army. He then made many military achievements, won high honors all the way, and was granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister.
I also know that the old Duke of Zhenguo had been looking for his relatives during his lifetime, but now that both the old Duke and the Duke of Zhenguo are dead, it is really not easy to find them. It also makes people doubt whether what they found is real, and whether someone with ulterior motives coveted the title of the Duke of Zhenguo and deliberately impersonated him.
The emperor also had this concern, "Prince Jingyang, are you sure that the people you found are relatives of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"
King Jingyang said, "I have no doubt about it."
"Is Prince Jingyang so sure?" a minister questioned.
Prince Jingyang looked at the emperor and said, "The people are waiting outside the palace gate right now. The emperor will know it as soon as he sees it."
The minister objected, "How can a commoner like you enter the Council Hall to see the emperor?"
Prince Jingyang looked at the minister and said, "It is common for a commoner to enter the Council Hall. It is nothing surprising."
The emperor said, "Then summon him to the palace. I really want to see why Prince Jingyang believes it so firmly."
Xie Guimo accompanied Old Master An and waited outside the palace gate.
The eunuch came out to convey the order, and Xie Guimo led Old Master An into the palace.
As soon as Old Master An entered the Council Hall, the ministers who had seen the Duke of Zhenguo almost popped their eyes out. They had seen people who looked similar, but never one who looked so similar.
This man and the Duke of Zhenguo are clearly different in temperament, one is a scholar while the other is a martial artist.
Just based on this face, what else is there to doubt?
Marquis Changping stared at Old Master An's face and asked, "Isn't this a disguise?"
Prince Jingyang laughed when he heard this. "Two generations of Zhenguo Dukes fought hard to build this family business. Do you think that the Marquis of Changping would easily give it to an unrelated outsider?"
