Most people in the palace only knew that the Queen Mother suddenly fell seriously ill, and did not know that she was thrown into a violent chamber by the emperor. It was not until the death of Queen Mother Wu that everyone knew that the emperor was not the Queen Mother Wu's biological child, but the former emperor's favorite. Born to Concubine Jing Guifei.
An imperial edict naming Concubine Jing as the Cining Xiande Empress Dowager clearly stated that Concubine Jing was the emperor's biological mother.
It was supposed to be a palace scandal that caused an uproar, but because both parties involved were no longer alive, and there was no point in pursuing the case, no one objected to the emperor burying his biological mother with the late emperor.
The Jing family, far away in Longxi, received a secret letter from the emperor long after Empress Dowager Wu admitted that she had changed her son.
The old man of the Jing family was the late emperor's tutor. Due to the death of his daughter, Concubine Jing, he resigned from his post in the court, retired and returned to his hometown, where he opened an academy in Longxi to teach and educate people.
Nowadays, people have been sparse since ancient times.
The old man pays great attention to physical health, and his seventy-year-old body is also very strong. Because he no longer worries about the court affairs, he cultivates his body and mind in Longxi, and he looks much younger than his actual age.
After handing over the affairs of the academy to his eldest son, he set off from Longxi and arrived in the capital after the death of Queen Mother Wu.
The former Taifu, who had always been resolute, hugged the emperor and cried like a child: "You are A Jing's son, are you really A Jing's son?"
In fact, there is no need to ask, Concubine Jing is the old man's only daughter. Concubine Jing has six brothers, but the one whom the old man loves the most is his little daughter.
Concubine Jing died suddenly that year, and the old man's wife couldn't bear the shock of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, so she passed away within two years.
It was not easy for him to get over the pain of losing his daughter.
Rather than saying he is alive, it is better to say that he is torturing himself, trapping himself in the sadness of losing his wife and daughter, and is unwilling to come out at all.
emperor……
The emperor's appearance was sixty percent like that of the late emperor, but the sadness and sentimentality between his eyebrows and eyes were very much like A Jing's.
The old man seemed to be able to sense something and recognized at a glance that the emperor was the son of Concubine Jing and his grandson.
The emperor's eyes were red. He put his hand on Jiang Xinyue's shoulder with a slight force and pushed her to the old man: "Grandpa, these are your grandson-in-law and great-grandson."
In Jiang Xinyue's arms, she was still holding the sixth prince who was already giggling and gibbering without knowing what he was talking about.
The little guy's facial features have grown a bit. They were originally round and neckless, like a fat-headed baby. Jiang Xinyue wanted to call him "Teacher Liu Huan" every time.
The little Zaizai, who is more than eight months old, has a chubby body, and his figure becomes more and more delicate as his facial features grow, showing the heroic spirit of a boy.
As soon as Mr. Jing stretched out his hand to pinch his little face, the sixth prince grabbed his finger and put it into his mouth, laughing: "Ah——"
His cute appearance made Mr. Jing forget to cry. He wanted to take his hand back, but he was afraid of making the little guy cry.
"Little Tuanzi, don't bite my great-grandfather's hand, let go!"
Xiaotuanzi looked at his mother-in-law, then at his grandfather, then reluctantly let go, turned around and asked the emperor for a hug.
He also seemed to be complaining: "Ah wu ah ah eh eh..."
"Oh~"
Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Concubine Mother is cruel to Xiao Tuanzi, isn't she? Come, touch Concubine Mother and ask her not to be so cruel. We are good, aren't we?"
But the current sixth prince still couldn't understand his father's instructions. He turned his back angrily to Jiang Xinyue, and obediently leaned on the emperor's shoulder to act coquettishly.
Mr. Jing stroked his gray beard happily and said, "The Imperial Concubine takes good care of the Sixth Prince, and the Emperor... also takes good care of her."
So, in the final analysis, the imperial concubine is the best!
Jiang Xinyue smiled and shook her head: "The emperor treats me with great favor, like pearls and treasures. I treat the emperor well and reciprocate the favor. It's all as it should be."
She is well-educated and gentle, and is deeply loved by Mr. Jing.
This love doubled after seeing the Sixth Prince.
Emperor Xuanwu took the opportunity to propose: "Grandpa, I plan to make the sixth prince the crown prince. He will be one year old in April. I want my grandfather to continue to be his Taifu. I hope my grandfather can agree."
Jiang Xinyue's eyes lit up. She asked Mr. Jing to be Xiaotuanzi's tutor. Such a good thing was something she had never dared to think of before. This was the late emperor's teacher, and the emperor himself had not received such treatment!
Sometimes, don't think of the emperor as your husband, but as the father of your children. He should be able to win a top ten good dad award.
Mr. Jing is a very close person in the next generation. These are A Jing's son and grandson. How could he not like it?
The emperor looks like A Jing, and the sixth prince looks like the emperor, which means the sixth prince looks like A Jing.
"Okay!"
The old man cried and laughed at the same time: "If A Jing were still here, how happy he would be to see his son grow up so big, start a family, marry a wife and have children!"
Therefore, he wanted to see and get along with his precious daughter more, and make up for the family ties that had been missing in the past few decades.
The emperor...the emperor is A Jing's son!
How could he refuse?
When Empress Dowager Wu died of illness, the palace and the people had to observe mourning for three months. They were not allowed to hold banquets, get married, or wear brightly colored clothes.
Therefore, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor's banquet with ministers was directly cancelled. After the emperor held sacrifices in the royal ancestral hall, he ended his mission.
Without any fanfare, the emperor took Jiang Xinyue, the fourth prince, and the sixth prince out of the palace and headed to the Jiang family.
Su Mansion——
Mrs. Su watched the doctor change Su Erlang's medicine. The white bandage on his back was covered with blood. She was so distressed that she shed tears. Her displeasure towards Jiang Yunxia reached its peak: "You kid, why did you suffer so badly after going out?" You are still hiding the injury, what if something happens? Tell your mother, did you run into a bad guy when you eloped with Jiang Yunxia? Ah Da is dead, who is so cruel, knowing that you are from the capital city? How dare the children of high officials do such a thing?"
She hoped that her son would elope with Jiang Yunxia and ruin her reputation so that she could take the dignified daughter of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi as her concubine.
But she never thought that anyone would get hurt in this incident!
Especially, it was her own son who was injured.
"Mom, there really is no..."
Su Erlang looked tired: "My son was just bored and wanted to go out to Zhuangzi to relax. But Ada got crazy and wanted to steal my baggage. When we were fighting, he drew a knife on me and I accidentally killed him. he."
"Nonsense!"
Mrs. Su pushed him hard: "Don't I know what kind of temper you have? You have always been timid. This time you elope with Jiang Yunxia. This is probably the boldest time in your life. Do you have the courage?" Kill someone?"
"Anyway...it has nothing to do with Yunxia anyway."
Su Erlang lay down angrily and covered his head with a quilt: "Mom and sister, please don't disturb my rest."
The wound hurt a lot.
