The hand that covered Feng Xi's mouth paused, and Qi Xiao looked at Emperor Sheng De in surprise, but did not say anything at the first moment.
Emperor Sheng De was not surprised by this, but Feng Xi looked up at him, her bright eyes full of curiosity.
As a book wearer who has read the first two physical books, Feng Xi knows Qi Xiao's family situation very well.
His father, Qi Yuan, was a genius tomorrow, a lifelong friend of Emperor Sheng De, and a loyal minister and general of Da Zhao.
One of the eldest and second brothers is definitely dead in the battle, and there is no news about the other. The eldest sister-in-law Bai Yi and the second sister-in-law Sun Qingzhi also have distinct personalities.
As for the family of moths in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, I'm afraid they are also secretly brewing something terrible.
But only Qi Xiao's mother, Mrs. Qi Xiao, who accompanied her husband on the road to hell, is rarely mentioned in the text or in the reality she is experiencing today.
Except that the other party seemed to be very fond of Xie Wanyin, where did she come from? Who is in your natal family? Not to mention Feng Xi, Qi Xiao didn't seem to be too clear when asked by Emperor Sheng De.
As expected, Qi Xiao quickly shook his head and said to Emperor Shengde:
"My eldest brother and my second brother only know that our father and mother met when we were young, and we have a very close relationship. Although my mother is weaker than ordinary people, she is quite knowledgeable in medical skills. When my sister-in-law was young, she accepted her as an apprentice. As for where she came from. , let alone me, even the eldest brother and the second brother don’t know..."
"I think Yuan Ming also reminded you three brothers not to inquire about Xiao Ling, right?"
Emperor Sheng De smiled casually, and the Xiao Ling he spoke of was none other than the then Marquis Jingyuan's wife.
"It is said that there are beauties in the southern country. They are as beautiful as peaches and plums. I remember that when your mother was about the same age as Xi'er, she overwhelmed your father. How smart and cunning is your father? He couldn't walk at that time. Damn, he’s just like those idiots from aristocratic families.”
Talking about his brother's embarrassment back then, Emperor Shengde suddenly felt like the playboy prince who didn't understand the world when he was young.
According to him, Qi Yuanming and Xiao Ling met during a spring outing.
At that time, he insisted on dragging his brother out of the city, saying that he wanted to go to the village of a certain aristocratic family member to drink, enjoy flowers and hunt. If Qi Yuanming didn't go, he wouldn't go either.
"Although your father is usually serious, he was a bit of a playboy when he was young, especially when it came to horseback riding and archery..."
Emperor Sheng De spoke a lot intermittently, with a rare smile on his face that was free of sadness.
Therefore, Feng Xi and Qi Xiao did not rush him, and just waited for him to talk about Qi Yuanming and Xiao Ling's appearance.
Fortunately, he is an emperor after all, and he has long been accustomed to talking about the key points without talking nonsense, so he quickly got to the key point:
"The snow-colored brocade dress looks like autumn water. It is a kind of leisurely clarity that I cannot describe to you. Your mother is not a mortal. Yuan Ming and I knew it the first time we saw her."
"So, who is my mother? Is she the 'immortal' you call her?"
Slowly letting go of the hand covering Feng Xi's mouth, only Feng Xi understood the complexity in Qi Xiao's tone.
No, Feng Xi, who caught the opportunity, immediately opened the microphone and said:
"Have you seen it? Let me just tell you that Long Aotian like you cannot be seen frequently. No matter how bad your bloodline is at the beginning, you can still come back noble in the end. How do you say that..."
After thinking about it, Feng Xi patted her thigh and said:
"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty!"
Qi Xiao: "..."
Emperor Shengde: "?"
Covering Feng Xi's mouth again, Qi Xiao nodded to Emperor Sheng De and signaled him to continue.
Emperor Sheng De looked at Qi Xiao, then stared at his unlucky daughter for two seconds. Seeing that she was really well-behaved, he continued:
"Didn't I tell you before? The fairy Taizu met once found a destined person in Jokhang, and your mother is one of the descendants of those destined people. Unexpectedly, your mother is not only good at medicine, but also I also had martial arts skills at the beginning."
Quickly skipping the acquaintance between Qi Yuanming and Xiao Ling, Emperor Sheng De jumped directly to the time when the two were discussing their marriage.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, but the two of them have been going around behind his back since they first met. He wants to follow his good brother to watch the fun, but he can't stand that kid Qi Yuanming...
Seeing that the indignant Emperor Sheng De couldn't come up with an adjective for a long time, Feng Xi took Qi Xiao's hand out of kindness and said:
"You value sex over friends. There is no humanity in people of the opposite sex. Women are winter clothes, and brothers are the limbs of a centipede."
Emperor Sheng De: "..."
After holding it for a second, two seconds, three seconds... Emperor Sheng De nodded:
"you're right."
Qi Xiao: "..."
Fortunately, Emperor Shengde quickly found the main thread and continued:
"Remember, when your eldest brother and Bai Yi were discussing marriage, wasn't there a commotion in Shengjing? Your parents were the same at that time, and the commotion was even bigger."
According to Emperor Shengde, Xiao Ling has always been unwilling to reveal her origins, so in the eyes of most people in Shengjing, the only thing she can show off is her face.
Although the Qi family at that time was not as prominent as the later Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, or even as good as the fake one now, there were a lot of twists and turns inside.
"We all know that your father is Mr. Qi's adopted son, but this adopted son is a figure that even your uncle can't match. Therefore, in the eyes of Mr. Qi, your father's marriage is just a bargaining chip used to please other official wives."
Emperor Shengde didn't have a good look when talking about the people of the Qi family.
Mr. Qi is a good man, but his wife and children are really bad.
However, this old man has a soft ear and cannot control these two people most of the time.
Fortunately, he later arranged for his servants to talk to the two people about some things. For example, if Qi Yuanming married a wife with a prominent family background, he would not be able to steal the family property from them in the future, bully them, etc...
Without the obstruction of the two troublemakers, the young lovers finally got together and moved out of Qi's house together.
"Not long after they got married, your mother's mother's family came to visit. One of them is your grandmother, and the other is your mother's senior brother. They call themselves the Xiao family, and they have lived in isolation in the mountains for generations. There is no time in the third middle school. , your mother came to Shengjing just because she went down the mountain to travel privately."
"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies? Bah, the General and the Seven Fairies?"
Emperor Sheng De glanced at his unlucky daughter expressionlessly and continued:
"I don't know what your grandmother said to your mother. Anyway, when she left, your mother burst into tears and kowtowed to the ground for thirty-six times. It was useless no matter how hard your father tried to stop her. There used to be a little cinnabar between your mother's eyebrows. But it disappeared after that day.”
Similarly, after that day, Xiao Ling never used his martial arts again, and just lived his life peacefully as a mortal.
"It wasn't until your father passed away that your mother sent a letter to me when she was dying, telling me that she was a descendant of the Xiao family, that is, the descendant of the destined person that the fairy was looking for."
