Come to extraordinary times

"This matter starts with the battle of Xia La's succession 42 years ago." Grandpa assumed the posture of making a long speech.

Oh, at that time Daddy was not born yet.I was also very interested in this story, and I sat up on the bed writhing, my blue eyes rolling.

"42 years ago, the change of Shala Palace attracted the attention of two continents. The royal inheritance method of the Shala royal family is different from that of our Qingtian Empire and the Ama Empire. The princess there also has the right to inherit, and there may also be a Shala totem. At that time, it was quite an exception. Emperor Xia La had nineteen children in total, of which five sons and four daughters had the right to inherit. This is a relatively rare situation, and generally there will be no more than five people who have the right to inherit the royal family at a time."

oh?So how many totems of the father's seven children and four princes have the right to inherit?

"At that time, Emperor Shala was seriously ill, and the prime minister was in power. Crown Prince Shala, Xuli Karui, was worried. There were several princes and princesses who had the right to inherit, and they were also very powerful. At that time, he was close to the prime minister. The prime minister persuaded the prince to force the palace and win The throne is in order to avoid uneasiness all day long. Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xia La belongs to the fourth princess, and the matter of persuading the prince to force the palace is also a conspiracy discussed by the fourth princess and the prime minister."

"Unexpectedly, the prince forced the palace and ended up in complete defeat. The fourth princess brought several princes and princesses to execute the prince on the spot in the name of protecting the father. I thought I could occupy the important position in the palace and become the next prince, but the mantis catching the cicada, the yellow The bird is behind, the third prince has already bribed the prime minister, mobilized the imperial guards, captured the fourth princess in one fell swoop, put several princes and princesses under house arrest, and at the same time put Xiandi Emperor Xia La under house arrest."

"There are nine sons in the Xiala Empire who have the right to inherit, but most of the other princes and princesses have followers. The third prince was born to the same mother and concubine as the tenth prince and the sixteenth princess, and they are relatively close. Besides, only the third prince has a totem among the three. The tenth prince and the sixteenth princess became followers of the third prince."

"However, what no one expected was that the naive princess fell in love with her bodyguard, but that bodyguard was the eighth princess Xuanli? Kari had arranged to spy by her side long ago. The sixteenth princess couldn't bear the pain of her lover. I begged and promised, and secretly released the eighth princess. In less than a month, the eighth princess summoned people and entered the palace under the name of 'King Qin'."

"Hey——" Grandpa sighed, "It was a bloody night. The eighth princess rushed into the palace with the assembled troops, not only did not let the third prince go, even the several princes and princesses who were under house arrest together were not spared." Let it go. Those few princes and princesses who have the right to inherit are impossible to let go, but the princes and princesses who don’t have the right to inherit are also implicated because of the different people who follow them. In the end, only two sons and one daughter are left, all of whom are the followers of the eighth princess. Although the sixteenth princess was asked to let go because of the guards, she committed suicide because she couldn't bear the self-condemnation."

"Concubine Han's mother, Princess Shanli, was the No. 19 child of Emperor Shala, the youngest princess, because she was only six years old at the time, and did not have the opportunity to participate in the Shala Palace change that year, but because she was also a It is impossible for the eighth princess to let her go as the princess who inherits the totem. Fortunately, Princess Shanli's mother and concubine have long been known as foresight, and she was prepared when the prince changed. Let the dowry maid, Lankao, take Princess Shanli and escape from the palace in the chaos."

"In order not to arouse the suspicion of the eighth princess, Princess Shanli's mother and concubine found a young maid as a substitute, launched a small fireball and ignited the palace. When the eighth princess arrived, she happened to see Princess Shanli's mother and concubine holding the unconscious The little princess sang in the fire, so she no longer doubted it. Soon after, the first emperor Xia La died of illness, and the eighth princess succeeded to the throne."

Grandpa pursed his lips, maybe he was a little thirsty after telling the story, and the father was also a careful person, so he greeted Little Six to bring him some tea.

Grandpa took a sip of tea and continued: "The servant girl Lankao took Princess Shanli out of the palace and fled to Khiva Continent according to the previous arrangement. I got a ship bound for the mainland of Khiva. Unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly, and that ship encountered pirates."

Wow - pirates?Grandma has so much experience!

"Lan Kao and Princess Shanli were captured on a pirate ship. Everyone knows that the royal court ladies are one in a hundred, so Lankao is also very beautiful, so he was dedicated to the pirate leader Helaman. Although Princess Shanli's mother and concubine are not born Big family, but also a scholarly family, who has been knowledgeable since he was a child, and grew up together as a maid beside the lady. Lankao is also a very temperamental and beautiful woman with rich knowledge. Heilaman fell in love with Lankao as soon as he saw her. I want to marry her as my wife. Considering that there is no destination to flee with Princess Shanli, and it will be difficult, it is better to give the princess a stable environment, so he agreed to marry the pirate leader Helaman."

"Because Lankao followed Princess Shanli's mother and concubine since she was a child, she has never been married, so she is naturally a virgin. She was discovered by Heilaman on the wedding night. After asking, she said that Shanli was only her sister's daughter. The family suffered a disaster and fled here. Sheila So Man loves Lankao even more, treating Princess Shanli as her own daughter."

"Princess Shanli grew up in the pirate world. Because Princess Shanli is beautiful and cute, when she was not yet full, the people who proposed marriage had already stepped on Helaman's threshold. Although Princess Shanli is lively and good Wu, but it may be the impression she had when she was a child. She insisted on marrying a gentle and knowledgeable man. However, in the pirate world, who doesn’t talk about force? Several people who are all sword masters proposed to her, but she Not at all disturbed."

"She's a mischievous guy." Grandpa smiled and glanced at me, "It's a bit like the Seventh Prince."

where?I stared at him with wide eyes, I'm so good!

"In her full year, she left a letter saying that she was going to find her other half, so she sneaked on a boat to go to the mainland of Khiva to buy things, and went to Khiva, where she was 12 years late. mainland."

"Princess Shanli disguised herself as a man and entered the Ama Empire after landing." Grandpa smiled, feeling a little nostalgic.

"At that time, I was following the order of the late emperor to go to the Ama Empire with the Prime Minister at that time. Although I was only a low-level official at the time, because of family reasons, the Prime Minister took great care of me. At that time, I often stole Running out of the embassy to hang out and that's where I met her."

"Although Princess Shanli grew up in the world of pirates, she was well protected by Helaman and Lankao, and the pirates loved her very much and never let her participate in operations. In addition, Helaman has extraordinary abilities. A fighter-level character, he is also very strict with pirates. Fundamentally speaking, Princess Shanli is actually a kind little girl who doesn't know anything about the world."

"I met her when she was chasing a thief and bumped into me. Although she is also an entry-level swordsman, when the thief stole the money from her, she didn't react at all. When she reacted and chased, she ran into me. When I stood up, the thief had no idea where he had gone."

"Later," grandpa laughed again, "she relied on me, saying that it was because of bad luck that she met me that she was penniless. I was so entangled by her that I had no choice but to accept her as a book boy I found out that she was a woman later, and then I took her back to Qingtian Empire, because I was already married, she could only be my concubine, and she agreed. On the wedding night, she told me that she It is Princess Shala who has the right to inherit the totem, but she has no intention of participating in any political power, and only hopes to return to the pirate world in the future."

"Later, she wrote several letters to report her safety, but she never received a reply. Because she was afraid that Lankao and Helaman would not forgive her for sneaking away and never returned, she dared not go back. Later she gave birth to Han'er A daughter, I didn't know until the day of the baptism that Han'er also had Shala's royal totem, because we didn't have any idea of ​​wanting to seize power from Shala, so we didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that the Seventh Prince also had an inheritance totem .” Grandpa finally finished telling the story.

"That's right," Father Huang said, "Only those who have the totem mark on their bodies can be passed on from generation to generation. It is impossible for the offspring without the totem mark to have the totem mark."

"Then..." Grandpa might still want the emperor to make a statement.

"I don't blame you for this, so don't spread it out."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Grandpa knelt down again.

"Xiao Aiqing, there is no need to be too polite. But look, the Seventh Prince has the right to inherit the totems of two empires. Is it good or wrong for him?"

"Your Majesty—" Grandpa stood up slowly, "From the perspective of the country, this is not a bad thing. According to the report from the spies in the Shala Empire, Queen Shala has three sons and two daughters, and only one daughter has a totem symbol and is weak and sick. , Shara rumors say that this is the retribution of Queen Shara's kinsman. If the daughter with the totem died of a critical illness, in the name of the Seventh Prince, we may simply take over the Shara Empire, which is also an unexpected joy ah."

"Yeah——" Father walked back and forth a few steps, "That's true."

He turned to look at me, my round eyes were staring at him.Father came over and picked me up, "Xiaoyi, father will help you snatch the Shala Empire for you to play with?"

Really, what is this, is it really for me to play?But grandpa looked at us with wide eyes in disbelief!

Forget it, just follow his words, if the emperor really wants it, I won't object, anyway, I don't have the right to say no, don't I?It's better to follow his words, he will pamper me longer if he is happy.

"Father, Xia La, Xiao Yi's." Oh, it was a baby voice again.

"Haha..." Father lifted me up, turned around a few times, even laughed, and even teased me, it seems that father is really happy, then he is really a very ambitious person!

However, my grandfather also showed signs of jaw dislocation, probably because he couldn't believe his father's smile. I also heard from my mother and concubine that my father is a thousand-year-old ice, and no one has ever seen him smile.In fact, I thought in my heart that his smile sounded nice, um, he looked nice too.
