Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Seeing Li Hong coming in, Li Xi's first reaction was to crawl into Wei Yu's arms.After digging for a while, I realized that it shouldn't be him who felt guilty, it should be the scumbag father!

Xiao Fu Wang was confident: "Shouldn't you knock on the door when you enter your daughter-in-law's house?"

Li Hong... was almost sent away.

Fortunately, Zheng Jiarou was there to put out the fire, so the king of a country didn't shamelessly beat up his freshly baked son at the "daughter-in-law"'s house.

The calmest one was Wei Yu.

He calmly invited everyone to sit down, lit up all the candles in the house, boiled water and made tea, and served them to the three...elders one by one?

If Zheng Wei is also considered an elder.

Seeing his calm appearance, everyone's turbulent mood also calmed down a little.

Li Xi sat cross-legged on the bed, folded his arms, and looked like a debt collector, "Tell me, how did you give birth to me!"

Li Hong: "..."

Otherwise, you will be killed!

"It's not cheating. Eldest sister had you before she married into Cui's family." Zheng Kongjia, the furious sister-in-law, was the first to lose her temper. , in the end it is..."

Compromised for Li Hong's safety.

When mentioning that year, Li Hong still felt uneasy, "That night, you already decided to marry Cui Yuan, didn't you?"

Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.

Zheng Jiarou held back tears and nodded.

That night seemed as long as 100 years to her.

The ancestral hall is very dark, the candles are dimly lit, and hundreds of memorial tablets are placed high in the niche cage, as if there are ghosts whispering.

Those people surrounded her, arguing with reason and family rules, and persecuting her with so-called "benevolence, righteousness and morality".

Patriarchs of five surnames and seven families rarely gathered together, waiting for her to nod.

These people would rather their daughters die at home than allow them to marry poor families. There is one more rule in the Zheng family's family rules——

Women do not marry the royal family.

If Zheng Jiarou decides to marry Li Hong, the reputation these people have maintained for generations will collapse overnight.So, they would rather exchange it for something else.

That night was so short again.

Zheng Jiarou made the last fight, she gave up her reserve, boldly and passionately seduced Li Hong, and spent a hearty night with him, which was also their first night.

He solemnly proposed to marry him.

She agreed.

In the next few years, Li Hong's joyful and cautious appearance appeared before her eyes from time to time, which often made her heart ache.

"What's that expression on your face? Don't act like you've been betrayed. Did you know that at that time, the eldest sister already had a will to die?" Zheng Wei's brother-in-law's soul was burning.

Back then, the reason why Zheng Jiarou was so decisive and enthusiastic was because she knew that it would be the only time for them, and she would die calmly with this beautiful memory.

When she got on the sedan chair, she hid the dagger that Li Hong gave her in her sleeve.Originally, he thought of stabbing it into his heart when he left the door of the Zheng family, so as not to disgrace the name of the Zheng family, and not to implicate the Cui family.

Unexpectedly, Cui Yuan discovered her intentions, and when helping her into the sedan chair, he took away her dagger, the golden hairpin on her head, and everything that might hurt herself.

Most importantly, he said a word to her: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

The "big brother" in Cui Yuan's mouth is Li Hong.

Cui Yuan entered the palace at the age of six and became the companion of King Ding. King Ding followed Li Hong's ass since he was a child.

Zheng Jiarou lived in the palace for a few years and was also acquainted with Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan didn't lie to her, he didn't touch her on the night of the bridal chamber; after that, he stayed in the study for more than a month.

Even so, Zheng Jiarou still didn't intend to live.She would rather die and let Li Hong see a tomb than find out that she was married to his good friend when he came back.

That day, she finally touched a pack of rat poison, drank it, but vomited it out again.

It was Li Xi who saved her life.

Li Hong didn't feel joy at all because his lover kept the so-called "chaste" for him. On the contrary, he was only angry and distressed.

He would rather Zheng Jiarou and Cui Yuan know each other and cherish each other, and raise their eyebrows together, rather than just being a decoration and guarding the vacant room for more than ten years.

"Cui Yuan, how dare he!" Li Hong gritted his teeth.

No wonder she has been childless all these years, it's not that she can't have one, but that Cui Yuan neglected her!

"Brother Yuan also has a sweetheart." Zheng Jiarou said softly.

It was the biological mother of Cui Yu and Cui Lanxin. Because of her humble background, the Cui family did not allow her to marry her.Being able to marry Zheng Jiarou is not only Zheng Jiarou's luck, but also Cui Yuan's.

Therefore, it is impossible to say who takes advantage of whom and who neglects whom.

"Sister Yun has twins. Lan Xin has been raised in my room since she was born. You have met that child, and she is very sensible." Zheng Jiarou never said a bitter word, facing her lover and parent-child, she seemed calm and content.

Li Xi was a little distressed, and couldn't help but leaned over and hugged her.

A trace of panic flashed across Zheng Jiarou's face, but she couldn't hold it back after all, her eyes turned red.

Li Hong was sour.

He wanted to hug too, but he had no face.

"How did those old things persecute you back then? What terms did you exchange with them?"

Li Hong couldn't be more clear that Zheng Jiarou is by no means a weak character, on the contrary she is strong and strategic, her mind and vision are not inferior to any man.

Zheng Jiarou shook her head and said calmly: "It's nothing, I just take into account the Zheng family's rules and cannot marry into the royal family."

"I don't believe it!" The Empress Dowager also used this excuse to fool him for more than ten years, "Rou Rou, why can't you tell me? Tell me, and I will avenge you!"

Zheng Wei couldn't listen anymore, and said sarcastically: "Do you still think she is for yourself? She is for you!"

"Brother Yu." Zheng Jiarou shook his head.

"Anyway, those people were old and dead back then, and the saint would not do anything to them. You don't have to hide it for them, elder sister."

Zheng Jiarou continued to shake her head, refusing to let him speak.

She didn't hide it for those people, she just didn't want Li Hong to blame herself.

Li Xi leaned close to Wei Yu's ear, and asked "quietly" in a voice that everyone could hear, "Does Brother Shuyun know?"

Wei Yu also said "quietly": "I think it's for the enthronement edict of the saint."

Since the founding of Daye, Turkic tribes have repeatedly violated borders, harassed people, and plundered caravans, and Daye people hated him deeply.

Li Hong has Turkic blood, if he wants to become emperor, not to mention courtiers and military generals, even an ordinary scholar in Daye can scold him bloody.

Zheng and Cui are representatives of great Confucians in Shandong, and they are also objects of yearning and respect for scholars all over the world. The edict written by the head of the Zheng family and signed by ten great Confucians is enough to appease the people of Daye.

Li Xi's mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately discovered the problem: "At that time, Prince Li was not dead, and my grandpa was there, why did those old men threaten... the county lord with an edict."

Phew, I almost wanted to call my mother.

"The 'old man' in your mouth includes your great-grandfather." Zheng Wei

He gave him a blank look.

Li Xi pouted, I haven't recognized it yet!

Li Hong's eyes were all on Zheng Jiarou, he gritted his teeth and said, "Rourou, tell me, I want to hear it from you."

Having said that, there is nothing to hide.

Zheng Jiarou sighed softly, and said: "At that time, the first emperor had already decided to abolish the crown prince."

"And Ah Zhen."

"The sage should know that King Ding's old illness has not healed, and he has relapsed repeatedly. Even if there is no such war, I am afraid..."

Can't live to be 30 years old.

"There are two younger brothers." Li Hong said.

Although those two people are not as talented as Ding Wang Xiong, they are more suitable than him.

"It was the empress dowager who persuaded the first emperor, not because you are her adopted son, but because those two princes, no matter which one takes the throne, they will not treat you kindly."

Li Hong was taken aback.

The empress dowager's love for him has never been less than that of King Ding, or even more.

Li Xi suddenly thought of something, and couldn't wait to say: "Look, grandma is so kind to you, everything she did back then was for you."

Li Hong had a bad feeling, "What do you want to say?"

"You are so stupid." Li Xi rolled his eyes, rolled on the bed before Li Hong hit him, and hid behind Wei Yu.

Li Hong is not stupid, he has already thought of it.

As for the edict, without the intervention of the Queen Mother, Zheng Jiarou could not do it alone.And later, Li Xi would be sent to Prince Ding's Mansion, which was also the Queen Mother's decision.

"So what if I know it's my grandmother who sent me away? Anyway, I won't blame her old man. My grandmother is so kind to me, she can't possibly harm me."

Li Xi glanced at Li Hong, and said leisurely: "I just don't know if others will become white-eyed wolves."

Li Hong's heart was originally agitated, full of anger and guilt, and almost fell into madness like he did back then.

As a result, being disturbed by Li Xi's few words, the remorse, self-blame, and desire for revenge are all gone, and I just want to beat my son.

Wei Yu said at the right time: "The prince really can't blame the empress dowager. The empress sent you to Prince Ding's mansion, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

As a result, after King Ding stayed, he kept his title of prince.

Secondly, they preserved the Forbidden Army Soldier Talisman and Imperial City Order of Prince Ding's Mansion.

If the king has no queen, this token will have to be handed over to the other two princes, even if they are killed by Prince Li, they will also be handed over to their sons.

At the same time, it is for the saints.

If there were no soldiers from the imperial city and 40 imperial troops to sit in Chang'an, Li Hong would not be able to secure his seat even if he managed to ascend the throne.

Three times, for Li Xi.

The son of Prince Ding, who inherits the title of prince, is in charge of the imperial guards and government soldiers in the capital. He is very honored and favored. This is much more noble than the title of a prince whose origin is unknown.

That's why Li Hong agreed to send his son to Prince Ding's Mansion.

Since he was a child, he has been troubled by his birth, bullied and humiliated, and he doesn't want his son to do the same.

"Why don't you leave me in Cui's house? Without a real father, it's okay for me to be with my mother!" Li Xi looked at Zheng Jiarou aggrievedly.

Zheng Jiarou's heart was broken, "I don't know where my mother-in-law got the news, and she decided that you are not Brother Yuan's blood. When I was pregnant, she drugged me several times in an attempt to make me conceive. If Brother Yuan didn't play tricks, I wouldn't May be successfully produced..."

Recalling those panic-stricken days before, Zheng Jiarou couldn't help crying, "How dare I leave you in Cui's house?"

"So that's how it is." Li Xi grabbed Wei Yu's belt and understood her immediately.

Li Hong gritted his teeth, "I want to kill that old godly woman, if I dare to murder the emperor's heir, the entire Cui family will be buried with me!"

"Dongyue last year, she has already left." Zheng Jiarou wiped away her tears, and turned to comfort, "Think about Brother Yuan, as well as accumulating blessings for Xiaobao, so don't worry about it."

Li Hong snorted coldly.

It is impossible not to care, Cui family, Zheng family, he will not let go of any of them!

still have a question--

"Mother...do you know that I'm not her own?" The mother Li Xi mentioned refers to Princess Ding, the Yang family.

Li Hong nodded, "The reason why my mother made this plan back then was to find out that Mrs. Yang had the idea of ​​'changing sons'."

When Yang was waiting for Orchid to give birth, the Queen Mother was also waiting.

What they didn't expect was that Hu Ji also knew about Yang's trick, so she took the oxytocin medicine cruelly, gave birth to a baby first, hid it in the firewood room, and found a baby boy who had just landed from the people, pretending to be a baby boy. Claiming that she gave birth to twins, she wanted Yang to take the baby boy away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the staff assigned by the Queen Mother replaced the baby boy with Li Xi.

Zheng Wei took a deep breath.

So, the person he saw in the firewood room was not a maiko who had an affair with the soldiers, but a concubine of Ding Wangji?

The little baby he took away was not an illegitimate daughter of an unknown father, but the serious concubine daughter of King Ding, Lord Daye? !

He only knew half of this matter before.

And Li Hong happened to know the other half.

"Later, I ordered people to search for the baby girl that Orchid gave birth to, but they couldn't find it." Orchid also died of poison.

That day was too chaotic, Zheng Jiarou, Yang's family, and Hu Ji gave birth successively, the remnant party of Prince Li was not cleared up, and even gangsters took the opportunity to do evil, Chang'an was in chaos, no matter how thorough the plan was, it couldn't be foolproof.

Zheng Wei said in a daze: "Sage, do you still remember that I gave you a baby girl and said that her mother was my savior, if it wasn't for her, Xiaobao wouldn't have stayed in Fuwang's mansion smoothly..."

Li Hong responded: "Didn't you make it up indiscriminately, in order to let the Queen Mother raise your child?"

"I was only ten years old at the time, where did the child come from?"

"Who knows, you guys from aristocratic families have always been duplicity."

Zheng Wei was furious, "Okay, I won't say anything, I won't tell you that if there is no such child, it would be Xiaobao that I took away that night!"

That's why he said that with that child, Li Xi could stay in Prince Fu's mansion smoothly.

Li Hong's face changed, "You mean, that child was taken away from the palace?"

Zheng Ni didn't need to answer, he already knew the answer, and looked at Hu Jiao suddenly.

He has always known that there is such a person beside Li Xi, and he also remembers that it was Zheng Wei who threw it to the queen mother at the beginning, and he never cared about it. He never thought that it would be the daughter of King Ding, his own niece.

Li Xi was shocked for a while, then jumped up suddenly, stepped on the bed and ran over, grabbing Hu Jiao's hand.

"Little Pepper, don't be angry. Grandma and uncle don't know, and I don't know, otherwise I won't deny you."

Hu Jiao let out an "oh" and said blankly, "I know."

After finishing speaking, afraid that they might not understand, he added another sentence: "I already knew."

Everyone: ? ? ?
