The name "Princess of the Chu Yun" sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that Xu Wei had mentioned that the current emperor had three princesses when he was introducing the imperial family of China. The eldest princess was already old and had married to the south of Caiyun and hadn't returned home for many years. The second princess was titled "Chu Yun" and had been unknown since she was young. The youngest princess, Ni Shang, was only found out later that she was Qin Xian'er. Could Qing Xuan really be the legendary princess of the Chu Yun? Then wouldn't she and Xian'er be biological sisters?
Xiao Qingxuan waved her long sleeves and lightly said, "Which palace are you a deacon from? How do you recognize me?"
Miss Xiao's words were tantamount to admitting her identity. Gao Ping excitedly kowtowed. "You really are the princess of the Chu Yun. Princess, this old servant is Gao Ping. Don't you remember me?!"
"Gao Ping?" Xiao Qingxuan muttered to herself. Her brows were slightly furrowed as if she was trying to remember when she had heard this name.
Gao Ping kowtowed on the ground as if he was pounding garlic. His voice trembled with excitement. "This old servant, Gao Ping, has been serving Master and Her Majesty the Empress ever since His Majesty was in the Qian Residence. Back then, when Princess was one month old, this old servant followed Chief Steward Wei and even carried Little Princess. "
Lin Wanrong felt dizzy when he heard this. You old eunuch, my wife saw you as a baby and now you look like a fairy. How could she still recognize you?
Hearing that this eunuch was an old man in the palace, Xiao Qingxuan's eyes were filled with tears. She nodded and said, "So it's an old friend of Imperial Father and Empress Mother. Stand up and talk."
Gao Ping kowtowed and respectfully stood up. He carefully sized up Xiao Qingxuan and emotionally said, "Her Majesty the Empress is kind and virtuous. She is admired by the world and has been very kind to this old servant. Princess and Her Majesty look exactly the same. This old servant only needed one look to know that you are His Majesty's Princess of the Chu Yun. "
"Empress Mother has passed away for many years. It's hard for you to still remember her." Xiao Qingxuan's tears were glistening. Her heart was filled with sadness as she softly sighed. Gao Ping was also deeply moved and wiped a few drops of tears along with her.
It turned out that Qing Xuan was the Empress's daughter. No wonder she had the Empress's waist token. Thinking back to Qing Xuan's appearance and behavior when they first met in Jinling, he finally understood why she was so concerned about the Hu people and national affairs. This was basically her family affairs. Realization dawned on Lin Wanrong, and he couldn't contain his joy. With Qing Xuan and Xian'er, did that mean he had two of the three princesses of the old emperor's family? It would be hard for him not to prosper now!
"Sister, are you really a princess?" Qiaoqiao happily pulled Xiao Qingxuan and asked excitedly.
Luo Ning was from a noble family and knew the etiquette. She quickly bowed and said, "This commoner girl, Luo Ning, greets the princess!"
Xiao Qingxuan held their hands and said with a smile, "We are sisters, there is no need to be so polite. Ning'er, there is no need to be so polite. I have not entered the imperial family for many years and am now an ordinary woman. There is no need to be so formal. "
"Yes, yes, there is no need to be so formal." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
Gao Ping stealthily pulled him to the side and said in a low voice, "Lin daren, when His Majesty sent me to give you your reward this morning, this servant felt that it was a bit strange. After seeing Princess Chu Yun, I finally understood. Presumably, you also know His Majesty's intentions."
Lin Wanrong nodded. I had thought that the old Emperor was worried about the son-in-law, but it turned out that he was worried about his daughter. The old Emperor had given her money and sent her a wet nurse. He had taken better care of her than anyone else.
"Sir, you must take good care of Princess Yun Chu. This old servant will say something that I shouldn't say. Out of the three princesses of our China, she is the one that the Emperor dotes on the most. Please don't let anything happen to her. "
The princess was a member of the royal family. According to the customs of China, even if she was married, the son-in-law still had to perform the etiquette of a ruler and subject. He had to kneel and pay his respects to the princess in the morning and evening. Lin Wanrong snorted disdainfully at this. Kneeling to his wife every day, was he still a man? Fortunately, my Qing Xuan was gentle and frail, unlike those superficial princesses.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile, "Eunuch Gao, don't worry. How can I not feel sorry for my wife? Go back and tell the Emperor that I, Lin San, thank him for his grace. From now on, Qing Xuan will eat, drink, play, and be happy in our home. I guarantee that she will not suffer any grievances. "
Gao Ping also knew this Official Lin's temperament. These few words were enough. He put down the gold and silver items and carefully instructed the maids, midwives, and wet nurses. He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Seeing that everything had been settled, he hurriedly went back to report.
Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning never would have thought that the woman that their eldest brother dreamed of was actually China's most honorable princess. Seeing that they had become sisters with the princess, there was no need to explain the joy in their hearts. The two of them pulled Xiao Qingxuan and asked her all sorts of questions. The laughter of the three women resounded throughout the mansion.
As they chatted, Xiao Qingxuan glanced at Lin Wanrong. She saw that he had a faint smile on his face and didn't know what he was thinking. She pulled his hand and gently said, "Lin Lang, do you blame me for hiding my true identity?"
Looking at Xiao Qingxuan's demeanor and bearing, he already knew that she came from a rich and noble family. However, he didn't expect her to be the Yun Nation's princess, the daughter of the empress, whom the old emperor doted on the most. She was even richer than Qin Xian 'er. However, since Qing Xuan was the legitimate princess of the emperor and empress, how did she fall into the hands of Yu De Immortal Market and almost become a nun? If I had known earlier, I would have directly asked the emperor for her. Lin Wanrong was puzzled and sighed with a smile, "I don't blame you, I don't blame you. Everyone has their own reasons for doing things. Since you hid your identity, you naturally have your own difficulties. Why would I blame you? "
Xiao Qingxuan made a sound of agreement. Tears fell from her eyes as she sighed, "Langjun knows me well. There are many things in this world that have no other choice. Although Qing Xuan was born into the royal family, her fate is miserable and even worse than those common women. " She held Lin Wanrong's hand tightly and smiled with tears in her eyes, "Now that I belong to you, Qing Xuan doesn't dare to hide it anymore. My surname is Zhao, and my maiden name is Qing Xuan. I'm the second daughter of the current emperor of China, and my name is Yun Nation. "
Zhao Qing Xuan, Xiao Qingxuan, and Lin Wanrong suddenly clapped his hands and sighed, "Why didn't I think of it earlier? Your word 'Xiao' is just half of the word 'Zhao'. It's just a simple couplet, but it's puzzling me for a long time."
Xiao Qingxuan shook her head and said with a smile, "Not only that. My mother's maiden name is Xiao Feng-er. I took the word 'Xiao' as my surname to commemorate my mother. Moreover, I've been traveling in Jianghu all these years, so I'm already used to being called Xiao Qingxuan. "
It turned out that her mother-in-law's surname was Xiao. Qing Xuan was very filial. Whether it's Xiao Qingxuan or Zhao Qing Xuan, she's still my first wife, so there's no mistake about it. Looking at Qing Xuan's pretty face that was as beautiful as a flower, and recalling her charm in bed this morning, Lin Wanrong's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. So what if she's a princess? Doesn't she still want a man to dote on her? He secretly pinched her palm and chuckled.
Miss Xiao and him were telepathically connected, so when she saw his lecherous smile, she knew what he was thinking. Recalling her absurd behavior this morning, she blushed and pinched his mischievous hand hard before lowering her head in embarrassment.
Luo Ning didn't know that the two were secretly communicating, so she asked in confusion, "Sister, since you're the supreme and honorable princess of China, why are you in Yu De Immortal Market and being the dean? Don't they know your identity? "
Xiao Qingxuan's expression was gloomy. She shook her head and sighed, "People in the royal family have no choice. Although I'm from a noble family, I'm not as free and happy as the women in the market. From the moment I was born, my fate was already decided. "
Seeing her gloomy expression, Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao quickly and obediently held her hand. Xiao Qingxuan smiled gratefully and gently stroked her hair behind her ear. She calmly said, "Since the two younger sisters are married to Lin Lang, you're not an outsider. Our Lin family is united and loving, and doesn't tolerate secrets. Qing Xuan will tell the whole story. I only hope that the two younger sisters will keep it a secret and don't pass it on to others. "
Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning hurriedly nodded. Lin Wanrong had been in contact with the old Emperor for a long time, so he had some understanding of the secret. Looking at Qing Xuan's expression, he knew that it had something to do with his father-in-law.
"In the past, fuhuang and Cheng Wang fought for the throne, the two younger sisters must know a little." Xiao Qingxuan sighed slightly and said emotionally. She was a princess born of the Empress' di, and her words and actions had a natural grace. The matter of fighting for the throne was taboo in the mouth of a normal person, but when she said it, it was so sincere and sincere that no one would feel any disgust. Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning couldn't help but admire her.
The matter of the two wang fighting for the throne was known to everyone in China. Miss Luo and Qiaoqiao were both well-read women and naturally wouldn't be unfamiliar with it. Seeing the two women nod, Xiao Qingxuan said in a light voice, "I won't hide it from the two younger sisters. In the past, when Huang Zu was on the throne, the one he favored more was Cheng Wang. At that time, Cheng Wang controlled the Ministry of Appointments and had students all over the world. No one could surpass him in his arrogance and it was logical for him to take the throne. But he was naturally suspicious and even though he had the upper hand, he was still worried. He constantly speculated about my fuhuang and sent people to kill each other multiple times. Before I was born, fuhuang and fuhuang had two imperial sons but they were both killed in a plot. My fuhuang was exhausted from her grief and passed away three years after giving birth to me. At that time, I wasn't even three years old and hadn't even seen my fuhuang's appearance. "
Miss Xiao's face was pale, tears streaming down her face. Her two older brothers and fuhuang had all died because of Cheng Wang. This kind of tragedy happened to the beautiful princess of China and it made one's heart ache.
Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao were shocked to hear this. Killing each other was a taboo in every dynasty. Coming from Princess Chu Yun's mouth, it couldn't be false. No wonder jiejie asked us to keep this a secret. The two hurriedly pulled on Xiao Qingxuan's hands and comforted her.
Even though they had known about this a long time ago, when it came from Qing Xuan's mouth, it was even more infectious. Lin Wanrong sighed when he heard this. Her heart ached for Qingxuan, but at the same time, she felt even more respect for the Emperor's father-in-law. Losing one's son, losing one's wife, and having one's family destroyed would have been an unbearable pain for anyone. Yet, he had endured it all. Lin Wanrong had to admit that she could not have done such a thing. If it was him, he would have killed that Cheng Wang hundreds of times over.
Receiving the consolation of the two women, Xiao Qingxuan's pain lessened greatly. She wiped away her tears and continued: "My fuhuang was determined to endure, but this kind of pain wasn't something he could endure. That Cheng Wang was so aggressive and fuhuang's power was weak. Helpless, he could only think of another plan. Coincidentally, Yu De Celestial Market, which has a great reputation among the people, was choosing the next successor and specifically wanted a female baby of noble birth. My fuhuang had just given birth to me … "
Xiao Qingxuan tightly gripped Lin Wanrong's hand, her tears falling like pearls from a broken necklace. Lin Wanrong's heart ached when he saw this and hurriedly pulled her into his embrace. He wiped away the tears on her face and gently said: "It's alright. With hubby here, no one can bully you."
"So the Emperor gave you to Yu De Celestial Market to be the successor? Isn't this harming jiejie's entire life? How could he do this? " Qiaoqiao was simple and pure. Hearing about her jiejie, she felt as though she had been hurt. In her panic, she didn't even bother to wipe the tears on her face as she cried out urgently.
These words were a big taboo. Luo Ning was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly pulled her back: "Don't speak nonsense. The Emperor is jiejie's biological father, how could he not love her?"
"Meimei, don't misunderstand," Xiao Qingxuan shook her head, a thread of determination appearing on her face: "Regarding this matter, Qing Xuan has never blamed fuhuang. On the contrary, Qing Xuan is very grateful to him."
Grateful to him? This time, it wasn't just Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao, even Lin Wanrong found it strange. You were still a baby and as a father, he gave you away. You were grateful to him? What kind of logic was this?
Xiao Qingxuan smiled sweetly and said gently: "Lin lang, if between you and my child, I can only choose one, I will definitely choose you."
Hearing this, Luo Ning was extremely moved. Tears streamed down her face as she said: "Jiejie, I understand what you mean. Son is the flesh that fell from your body. For dage, you are willing to give up your child. The affection between you and dage surpasses everything else."
Xiao Qingxuan nodded faintly and sighed: "After becoming a mother, I can understand fuhuang's state of mind in the past. Sending away one person, he would have absolute power to protect my muhou and our family. Fuhuang had no way out. In this world, there isn't a parent who doesn't love their child. When fuhuang made this choice, not only did he have to endure the pain of his flesh and blood being separated, he also had to bear thousands of years of infamy. The pain in his heart was far beyond what ordinary people could understand. Carrying all the infamy, he protected my mother and my family. If it wasn't for his determination, who knows what kind of persecution my muhou and fuhuang would have suffered. Although it made me endure the pain of loneliness, it also allowed me to be filial to my parents and family. Tell me, should I hate him or should I respect him? "
The others were dumbfounded. Xiao Qingxuan was indeed a phoenix among men. Her reverse thinking went against common sense, but every word she said was on point. The old emperor was also human and had emotions and desires. However, he had the determination and means that ordinary people didn't have. He gave the infant Xiao Qingxuan to Yu De Immortal Market as the successor and sacrificed her life. It was indeed unfair to Qing Xuan, but it was fair to the rest of the family.
"Then how did you find out about your identity?" Luo Ning asked with concern. "Would the people in Yu De Immortal Market dare to make things difficult for you after knowing that you are a princess?"
"Things are not as bad as you think. In order to avoid detection, my identity was kept a top secret in the Sacred Workshop. Only the Court Master and my Master knew about it. " Xiao Qingxuan smiled sweetly. "Father is not a heartless person. When he sent me away, he made a pact with the Sacred Workshop. Before I turned 20 and inherited the Sacred Workshop's legacy, I could go down the mountain to visit my parents every year to show my filial piety. Every year, I would stay in the palace for a month to reunite with my parents. Father had even hired the best teachers to teach me. If it wasn't for this, my mother wouldn't have lasted until I was three years old. I'm afraid she would have died from the pain the moment she sent me away. However, when I was three years old, she abandoned me due to years of illness. This has become my lifelong regret. "
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanrong understood that the old Emperor was stalling for time. He used Qing Xuan to stabilize Yu De Immortal Market, but at the same time, he made her stay with the imperial family. After 20 years of effort, he would eventually come up with a solution. It was no wonder that the old Emperor's face turned ugly at the mention of Yu De Immortal Market. Putting aside the foundation of China, he had long planned to eradicate Yu De Immortal Market for the sake of Qing Xuan. Such forbearance and such methods showed that the old Emperor was indeed scheming, but it was also pitiful.
Qiaoqiao wiped away her tears and said with a sweet smile, "It's all good now. Yu De Immortal Market is gone, and Big Brother is reunited with Big Sister. We have a baby now. Our family can live happily in the future. No one can separate us."
Xiao Qingxuan nodded, her pretty face filled with tenderness. She looked at Lin Wanrong and murmured to herself, "Since the day I became sensible, I knew that I would never be able to be happy in this life. Who knew that I would meet Lin Lang in Jinling. This is the demon in my life. I can't see through it, I can't break it, and I'm addicted to it for life. After leaving the sect, I became a little girl floating in the mortal world. I don't seek immortality or Buddha. I only wish to grow old with Lin Lang and be a happy and unfettered pair of mandarin ducks in the world. We won't rest until we die. Even if we die, we won't rest until we die! "
Although these words were spoken casually by Miss Xiao, each word was sincere and touching. Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao were both sentimental people. Tears flashed in their eyes when they heard this. They didn't know how much good fortune their Big Brother had accumulated to meet such a fairy-like person like Sister Xiao.
Lin Wanrong was extremely touched. He wiped the corners of his eyes hard. 'Damn, if this goes on, I'll be completely conquered by Qing Xuan. This is not a good sign. If a man loses himself, he'll become a love-struck fool.'
"Hahahaha." He hurriedly laughed three times. "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Since my father-in-law misses his daughter so much, Qing Xuan, why don't you choose a time to go back to the palace to visit your relatives and catch up with your father-in-law. At the same time, see if there are any gold and silver treasures in your house that you don't need. You can bring them all back as well. It can also be considered as earning some milk powder money for our baby. Aiya, there's no time like the present. I think we should do it today. It's spring outside and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. It's a good time to visit your relatives. "
The three women were in the midst of being touched. Their mood was ruined by his vulgar interruption. Luo Ning and Qing Xuan rolled their eyes at him. Qiaoqiao laughed. "Big Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? It's been raining since yesterday and it hasn't stopped yet. How can there be spring?"
Xiao Qingxuan shook her head. "Although there isn't any spring outside, I'm afraid his heart is already full of spring. Lin Lang, Mr. Xu Wei knows you and rewards you. He treats you well. I'm going to visit his house later. Do you want to come? "
Lin Wanrong was startled. He hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm not going. I'm not going. I'm definitely not going."
Luo Ning giggled. She looked at him charmingly. "Big Brother, what are you afraid of? If you go with Sister, do you think others will eat you? "
"I don't know who wants to eat me, but I will definitely eat you, you little fox." Lin Wanrong slapped Ning 'er's buttocks. It was perfectly round and tight. It was very bouncy. He then fiercely whispered into her ear.
Luo Ning cried out. Her ears and cheeks were flushed. She hurriedly hid behind Miss Xiao. Her red lips slightly opened. Her eyes were filled with endless amorous feelings.
"If you're not going, then I'll go." Xiao Qingxuan smiled. "Today we're going to the Xu Family. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Xiao Family to meet Lady Xiao, Miss Xiao, and their family's madam. When we were in Jinling, I heard that they took good care of you. We must thank them for their kindness."
I won't let any of them go. Seeing Xiao Qingxuan's indifferent expression, Lin Wanrong was like a mouse whose tail was stepped on. He laughed and hurriedly escaped.
Luo Ning was both angry and amused. "Sister, did he go to the Xiao Family to inform them? If you go tomorrow, you definitely won't be able to see Xiao Yuruo. That Lady Xiao treats big brother very well. "
"It's better not to see her." Xiao Qingxuan was as beautiful as a flower. She unhurriedly smiled and said, "As long as she doesn't come to my Lin Family, it doesn't matter if I see her or not."
Lin Wanrong walked out of the door. He looked left and right. He saw that Xu Wei's residence was extremely quiet. The main door was unlatched, leaving a small gap. It seemed to be specially left open for someone.
This Old Xu is really something. Why did he move next to me? Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their nest. Aren't you making things difficult for Miss Xu? He looked left and right. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, his heart suddenly felt a little itchy. Rabbits don't eat the grass near their nest. I'm not a rabbit. Miss Xu invited me over with good intentions. Although she has some bad intentions, it's not that serious. If I don't go, won't it be a bit rude? I've always been a very polite person.
He was in a very difficult position. On one hand, he felt sorry for Qing Xuan. Under her eyes, he had a rendezvous with another woman. It was really the behavior of a beast. On the other hand, he thought that it wasn't easy for Miss Xu. If he wanted her to say goodbye to her cucumber and eggplant life, he would have to reach out.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't make up his mind. He clenched his teeth and took out a copper coin. He laughed and said, "One toss to determine the winner. If it's heads, I'll walk to the Xu Mansion. If it's tails, I'll take the sedan to the Xu Mansion. If the copper coin stands up … Damn, if that works, I'll strip naked and run ten laps on the street. “
I'll leave my fate to the copper coin. Everything is decided by the heavens. It has nothing to do with me. After pushing all the responsibility away, he calmed down. He flicked his thumb and the copper coin made a series of clanking sounds. It rolled on the ground a few times and ran a long distance before it slowly stopped. It actually stood up!
