Qu Le sneered: "He may have heard me call you grandpa, so he followed me. Don't be surprised."
As for A Lang's origin, Elder Lan had also heard Qu Le talk about it. Although he didn't agree with A Lang's behavior of clinging to Qu Le all day long, he didn't really want to fight against each other... Bah! The two of them
What kind of mandarin ducks are they? Anyway, let’s just do this for now. Later, when Alang has fully learned how to get along with people normally, and then talk to them about the truth, I believe they will separate themselves. After all, they are an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. They will spend the whole day like this.
It doesn't look good when they are stuck together. Qule is his granddaughter, so he has to plan more for her.
After sending away the worried Elder Lan, Qule asked Alang to come into the house. She asked: "Are you hungry?"
Alang shook his head and looked at Qule longingly: "You and I will live together."
He meant that he wanted to live in the same room with her, instead of being divided into two rooms like now. Qu Le simply refused: "No."
Alang was very anxious: "Why?"
"Because this is not good. Others will think I am an immoral woman."
Alang asked: "What is, not serious?"
"She is a bad woman. Everyone doesn't like bad women. Do you want everyone to dislike me?"
Alang lowered his head silently: "I don't want to."
Qule was stunned: "Why?"
"I'm the only one who likes you, isn't it good?"
Qu Le was choked, she coughed twice, and said in a pretentious manner: "I can't tell, your desire for exclusivity is quite strong, I'm sorry, I can't live with you forever, there is a lot of crude oil here
, you may not fully understand it now, but you will understand it when you grow up in the future. I am tired and I am going to sleep. Read slowly by yourself. If there is anything you don’t understand, come back after I wake up.
ask me."
Alang had many questions, but he was easy to coax. Seeing that Qule wanted to rest, he obediently did not disturb her and found a corner to read quietly.
After dinner, Elder Lan took Qu Le to the ancestral hall to pay homage to his ancestors. Facing the numerous memorial tablets of his ancestors, Qu Le could not help but sink his mind and kowtowed incense on his head seriously. Elder Lan happily touched his goat’s beard.
: "From now on, you are a member of the Lan family. No matter what happens, our Lan family will make the decision and support you."
Elder Lan added Qu Le's name on the Lan family tree with his own handwriting. After walking out of the ancestral hall, Elder Lan took Qu Le around the elder's building. In the study, Qu Le borrowed two books, namely "The Thousand-Character Essay".
" and "Hundred Family Surnames", she gave these two books to Alang and continued her teaching path.
In the palace of Wushuang City, in the imperial study room, Xiao Feng was carefully reviewing the memorials. There was no one around except Eunuch Xia, who was standing below and waiting quietly.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Eunuch Xia immediately walked over, opened the door, and saw a little eunuch standing outside the door. The little eunuch smiled particularly flatteringly: "Grandpa Xia, the Queen came in person, and said it was done by the Queen herself.
I made hot soup for Your Majesty and came here to serve it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is standing in the yard now. Could you please help me and let me know?"
Originally it was just a small matter, and all it took was a few words, but using money to do things for others only requires a few more words. The little eunuch secretly pinched the silver ingot in his sleeve and kept a smile on his face.
Eunuch Xia said: "Wait."
He turned back, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is here to see you."
Xiao Feng was still reading the memorial without any response. Eunuch Xia just stood silently. It was not until Xiao Feng finished reading the memorial in his hand that he raised his eyes to look at Eunuch Xia and casually uttered two words: "No
.”
Eunuch Xia immediately understood what he meant. He did not want to see the queen, and even if the queen came again in the future, she would not be allowed to see his majesty.
After silently exiting the imperial study, Eunuch Xia walked to the courtyard and bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is busy and has no time to see you. Please come back."
Wang Shuhua lowered her head in disappointment, and soon she raised her head again: "This is the wolfberry and lily chicken soup that I personally cooked. Whether it is the wolfberry or the chicken, I carefully selected it and simmered it for a whole day.
The bones have been boiled to pieces, and everyone said it was very fragrant. Since His Majesty is very busy and I don’t want to disturb you, please help me bring this cup of chicken soup to Your Majesty. Remember to drink it while it’s hot. It won’t be good when it’s cold.
Drink."
Eunuch Xia patiently listened to her words, and took the porcelain cup from the hands of the palace maid behind her. He said: "Don't worry, Madam, my servant will help you bring it. It's windy outside, so you'd better go back first to avoid catching a cold."
.”
If catching a cold and falling ill could get His Majesty's attention, she would do this without hesitation. Unfortunately, Wang Shuhua had already tried this method before, but when the news of her illness was spread to His Majesty's ears, all she got was a word from him.
He said coldly, "Take good care of her", and then she was gone. He didn't even look at her twice.
Wang Shuhua really wanted to grab His Majesty's shoulders and ask loudly, what was his purpose? What on earth did she do wrong to make him ignore her so much?
She is not willing to give in, really not willing to give in!
Eunuch Xia turned around and left holding the porcelain cup. He returned to the royal study, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the wolfberry and lily chicken soup that the Queen has personally prepared for you."
"Here you drink."
Eunuch Xia lowered his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
He held the porcelain cup and went behind the screen, put the porcelain cup on the table, opened the lid, and a strong aroma hit his face. He stirred it with a spoon. The queen was right, the chicken bones had been boiled.
Rotten.
Eunuch Xia was well aware of the Queen's reluctance and the various methods she used in secret. He believed that His Majesty must also be aware of it, so he turned a blind eye to all her efforts to please her.
Eunuch Xia sighed, this is the only way the queen can do in her life. If she can be more honest, she might have a good death, but if she continues to thrash about, I'm afraid she will end up with nothing more than a chicken and an egg, eh, this is all
Damn it!
After he finished the cup of chicken soup, someone knocked on the door again. Eunuch Xia quickly walked to the door and said a few words to the young eunuch outside. Then he came back with a letter.
Eunuch Xia said: "Your Majesty, Liu Changchang sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Concubine Le's parents have been found and they are on their way to Wushuang City. This letter is the result of Liu Changchang's personal interrogation of the Qu family and his wife."
Xiao Feng put down his ink pen and said, "Send it up."
Eunuch Xia presented the letter with both hands. Xiao Feng opened the letter and read it from beginning to end.
Sure enough, Qu Le was not the biological daughter of the Qu family and his wife. It turned out that the Qu family and his wife were domestic slaves of Prime Minister Qu's family. Later, because Prime Minister Qu was convicted and imprisoned, the whole family was beheaded and exiled. Mrs. Qu secretly
His youngest daughter Qu Le was handed over to a pair of domestic slaves, and they were asked to escape with Qu Le and then raise her well. Qu Le was indeed raised, but because of the famine, the pair of domestic slaves
After making money, he sold Qule to the palace.
Xiao Feng put down the letter and pondered for a moment: "Announcement to the imperial censor Song Huaicai."
Eunuch Xia immediately ran out and asked someone to summon Song Yushi.
Not long after, Song Huaicai hurried over. He knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Without ceremony," Xiao Feng paused and glanced at Eunuch Xia, "You go out and guard first. I have important matters to discuss with Song Yushi alone. No one is allowed to disturb me until the discussion is finished."
"Yes," Eunuch Xia bowed his head in agreement and silently exited the imperial study.
When the door was closed again, Song Huaicai straightened his back and said, "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
"I have a private matter that I would like to ask Song Yushi to help me check," Xiao Feng knocked on the desk, "There is a letter here, take it and take a look first."
Song Yushi lowered his head and stepped forward, picked up the letter with both hands, and read it from beginning to end. His face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."
"I want to find out what happened in the Qu family when all the members of the Qu family were massacred." Xiao Feng leaned on the dragon chair and slowly fumbled for the jade ring. His eyes were deep and his tone was meaningful, "I know that you and Le Fei had some friendship.
Her parents and family have suffered such a disaster. If we really want to trace her, I should send someone to arrest her now and hand her over to Dali Temple for disposal. In that case, even if she doesn't die, she will have to shed her skin. I can't bear to see this scene.
, I believe you are the same as me, right?"
The Yushi of the Song Dynasty lifted up his clothes and knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "Qu Cheng was accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. All the men in his family were beheaded, and the women were exiled for three thousand miles. This case shocked the whole country and set off a bloody storm in the court. In Wei Chen's heart
I admire Prime Minister Qu's character. I once investigated this case secretly and found that there was something fishy about the facts. Unfortunately, Wei Chen's power is limited and he can no longer proceed after the investigation reaches a certain level. If Your Majesty can give Wei Chen a chance, Wei Chen is willing
We will do our best to investigate this matter thoroughly and provide justice to everyone!"
"Okay!" Xiao Feng patted the armrest and smiled with satisfaction, "Then I will give you this opportunity! I order you to be the Imperial Envoy to re-investigate this case thoroughly. The government and the public must fully cooperate with your work. If anyone dares
Obstruction will result in immediate suspension and investigation!”
The imperial censor of the Song Dynasty kowtowed: "I obey the decree!"
The two hit it off and reached a preliminary agreement on the matter. When Song Yushi walked out of the imperial study, Eunuch Xia took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Old slave, let Song Yushi go."
"I dare not trouble Eunuch Xia. His Majesty still needs your service. I can go back by myself." Song Yushi bowed his hand to him. Although Eunuch Xia was just an eunuch, most scholars disdained to deal with people like him, but Song Yushi
But he didn't dare to do this. After all, a eunuch who has been with His Majesty for so many years and still has His Majesty's trust must have two brushes in his hand and cannot be easily offended.
Song Yushi said goodbye and left. On his way back, he remembered the appointment decree he had just received from the emperor and couldn't help but smile to himself.
The emperor was a very dignified man, and it was his intention to thoroughly investigate Prime Minister Qu Cheng's collusion with the enemy and treason, but he did not say so directly, and went around in circles to get Song Huaicai to take the initiative to take over this thankless job. However, Song Huaicai knew this clearly.
The job was very hot, but he had no choice but to take it into his arms. There were many reasons, but the most important thing was because he didn't want to see Qu Le being implicated.
Song Huaicai put one hand behind his back, walked steadily, and wore his belt in the wind. Since someone has to take the blame, let him do it! (To be continued)
