Plans were made in advance to secretly take her to the Liquan Sect and raise her in the Xiang Mansion in Kyoto.
He forged his identity and claimed that she was the daughter he had been raising in the country, calling her Xiang Ning'er.
From then on, Xiang Ning'er jumped from a maid to the eldest lady of Xiang Mansion and Xiang Yang's sister.
Because of her unparalleled beauty, she was called the most beautiful woman in Great Xia by the noble princes in the capital.
There was an endless stream of royal family members and dignitaries coming to the mansion every day to propose marriage, but without exception, they were all rejected by Xiang Tianxing.
Later, when Situ Wen drafted a girl, Xiang Tianxing seized the opportunity and sent her to the palace.
Relying on Xiang Ning'er's unparalleled beauty, she quickly won Situ Wen's favor.
In addition, Xiang Ning'er is thoughtful and knows how to observe words and emotions.
There are Xiang family members outside who provide suggestions and support secretly.
A few years after entering the palace, she was named a concubine.
Xiang Ning'er lived up to Xiang Tianxing's expectations and cooperated in the palace many times.
He helped the Xiang family eliminate many opposition forces and also won a lot of benefits for the Xiang family.
From then on, this family became famous in the Daxia court.
And Xiang Tianxing is also very satisfied with his daughter.
At that time, Xiang Ninger had almost forgotten her original identity.
I really feel that I am the eldest lady of the Xiang family and the most favored concubine of Daxia.
But as time went by, this illusion was shattered.
As Xiang Yang grew up, he gradually coveted Xiang Ning'er.
For this reason, Xiang Tianxing scolded him severely several times, but he was young and energetic and couldn't listen to it.
Every time I secretly enter the palace to meet Xiang Ning'er, I will test it out.
If Xiang Ning'er hadn't firmly refused every time and brought out Xiang Tianxing to suppress him, Xiang Yang would have succeeded long ago.
With a faint sigh, Xiang Ning'er leaned against the bed helplessly.
For so many years, I have been nothing more than a tool of his Xiang family.
Even though she is now a royal concubine, in the eyes of her Xiang family, she is just a maid.
Xiang Tianxing stopped Xiang Yang because he was afraid of being exposed and ruined his own plan.
When one day they gain power, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the fate of being taken over by Xiang Yang.
The Xiang family has long been disobedient, and Ning'er had already guessed this.
I just don’t know whether they want to take over the government or replace it.
If you think about it carefully, if the power of the Jia family is cut off by them again, then there will really be no one in the entire court who can compete with the Xiang family.
Now, Xiang Tianxing is serving as the prime minister of Zuo, his younger brother Xiang Tianyou is the minister of the Ministry of War, and the censor of Zuodu is his wife's brother.
Several other ministers also had close relations with him.
Some time ago, the Beiyuan people suddenly mobilized a large army and launched a massive attack on Yunzhou.
However, the Qiaonuo tribe near Liangzhou, for some unknown reason, has remained on hold.
Situ Wen had no choice but to transfer 80% of Daxia's main force stationed near Zhongzhou to Yunzhou.
The remaining 20% were transferred to Liangzhou for defense.
Kyoto now is extremely empty.
There are only 10,000 royal guards left, 40,000 forbidden troops, plus 20,000 garrison and patrol battalions.
Moreover, three of the four forbidden armies are now controlled by members of the Xiang family.
As well as the Kyoto Garrison Department and the Patrol Department, almost all of them are members of the Xiang family.
If there is really a rebellion, the only ones the emperor can mobilize are the Ying Yang Army from the Royal Forest Army and the Forbidden Army.
Xiang Ning'er smiled helplessly, no matter what, she was just someone else's tool.
How can there be love in the royal family? Xiang Ning'er doesn't care whether they rebel against Situ Wen or not.
All she cares about is whether she can live well.
If the Xiang family really takes over the world in the future, she doesn't care about committing to Xiang Yang again.
Anyway, I am nothing more than a spent flower. As long as I no longer live the hard life of being a servant, nothing else matters.
I just think about it occasionally and feel a little unwilling...
...
The next morning, Nan Yanxi, who had slept on the floor all night, was standing on the deck refreshingly, blowing the sea breeze.
As the red sun rises slowly from the sea level, the warm sunshine finally drives away the cold and dampness on the sea.
A flock of seagulls is surrounding the back deck of a passenger ship.
Nan Yanxi curiously went over to take a look and found that the net set by the boat boss at night had been harvested.
There were a lot of big and small fish, and the boat owner and his small child were happily dragging the fishing net.
Turning around, I saw Nan Yanxi, and the captain of the ship happily saluted him.
"Guests, sit down and there will be fresh fish to eat soon..."
"Hahaha... Okay, thank you to the boatman!" Nan Yanxi smiled and returned the gift, then turned around and returned to the cabin.
At this time, the two girls of the Mo family had just gotten up and were dressing up.
Nan Yanxi gave a few instructions and then came to the cabin.
Not long after, the boatman came to the cabin with several plates of freshly prepared sea fish: "Guests have been waiting for a long time, don't dislike it..."
Nan Yanxi hurriedly took it, picked a little with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. She couldn't help but praise: "Oh, it's so delicious!"
"Thank you very much, boatman. I will calculate the money for you later."
When the boss of the ship heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Guests, please don't do this. You are really insulting the villain."
"Thanks to the guest for saving his life yesterday, otherwise, the little man would have been miserable."
"It's just... it's just... I have something to ask for, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
Nan Yanxi happily picked up a piece of fried fish steak and took a bite.
Taste it slowly in your mouth. It is crisp but not greasy, fresh but not fishy, and there are not many thorns.
I thought to myself, I don’t know what species this sea fish is, it’s really delicious.
As for what the boss of the ship just said, Nan Yanxi didn't think much about it, and immediately said: "But it doesn't matter!"
When the boss of the ship saw this, he was immediately overjoyed. He pulled the little baby beside him and the two of them knelt down in front of him.
This startled Nan Yanxi who was concentrating on tasting the dishes.
He quickly put down his chopsticks and reached out to help him: "What...what is this...please get up quickly!"
"Guest!" The captain of the ship bowed deeply to Nan Yanxi: "I saw early in the morning that my guest is not a mortal."
"Today I have an unkind invitation. I hope the guest can take my child away!"
"Ah?" Nan Yanxi was stunned when he heard this: "Why is this?"
The boat owner cried loudly: "Guest... you have also seen that it is not easy for people at the bottom to make a living."
"This child has lost his mother since he was a child, and he follows a bad old man like me to make a living on the sea."
"I have been bullied so much. The officials came and bullied me again. The sea kings came and bullied me again."
"The little old man is incompetent. He will be like this for the rest of his life, but the child is still young."
"I really don't want him to suffer the same fate when he grows up."
"That's why I dare to ask, my guest, please take him away and make him a servant who works in front of and behind the horse. All he needs to do is give him a stutter."
"This... this..." Seeing the emaciated old man kneeling in front of her begging, Nan Yanxi didn't know what to say for a moment.
I wanted to refuse, but I really couldn't open my mouth.
Turning to look at the dark and skinny child, Nan Yanxi asked softly: "How old is your child?"
