Jing Yi was "virtuous", but Xiao Ting didn't want her to lower her figure too much. He turned around and stuttered: "No, you, you are a golden branch and a jade leaf. You can just treat them perfunctorily. Don't force yourself to respect them... Especially my mother, she often scolds me. If one day she speaks rudely to you, just take it as a warning and don't bother with her."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ting turned back.

"Mrs. The third son is very worried." Recalling Liu's care for her, she saw that she had eaten less in the morning and picked up buns for her several times after eating. Jing Yi's expression couldn't help but feel a little gentle.

When Xiao Ting heard this, he was relieved for her and felt wronged for himself. His mother liked her good son the most. The fourth princess is so good, and her mother was not happy yet, so how could she think that everyone else was in the palace?

Thinking of his mother, Xiao Ting suddenly remembered something, lowered his head and took off the jade pendant on his waist, looked around, and then quickly handed it to Jing Yi. His tone was unprecedentedly solemn, "I heard from Mingxin that this was left to you by Concubine Zhuang. It was useless to put it here, so you should keep it."

Jing Yi looked at the familiar jade pendant and reached out to take it, "Thank you."

Her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, but Xiao Ting guessed that she was sure to be satisfied with his considerateness, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up. Just as she was about to ask about her situation at home last night, she suddenly saw a few figures turning around the other end of the corridor. The leader was the queen, followed by a woman in a civilian.

"It's the queen." Xiao Ting reminded in a low voice.

Jing Yi turned around and saw the queen and his party, and immediately said to Xiao Ting: "Let's go to see each other. If the queen asks, she will say I lost my jade pendant and ask if you have picked it up." They were standing alone here, and they must find a suitable reason.

Xiao Ting didn't think so much, but he knew that Jing Yi's arrangement must have her reason, so he nodded and agreed.

Jing Yi turned sideways and asked him to go first, after all, Xiao Ting was the princess at this time.

Xiao Ting couldn't help but squint her. The man pretended to be so similar, where did he put him?

But he still walked in front obediently, and deliberately slowed down when Jing Yi whispered a reminder behind him.

"Jingyi has met her mother."

As he got closer, Xiao Ting tried hard to recall the actions of several princesses when they saw the queen saluting, and bowed their knees awkwardly. Fortunately, he often saw many people in the palace and could barely fool them. As for the queen, he could naturally see the problem of the fourth princess's gift, but when he thought of the people behind him, the queen understood the "negative" of the fourth princess.

When Jing Yi was greeted, the queen did not ask why the two of them got together and introduced the woman in a civilized state to the two children: "Jing Yi, Tingsheng, this is the wife of the Duke of the People's Republic of China."

Jing Yi was shocked all over, and he endured it without showing any disobedience. He then stepped forward and went forward like an ordinary junior to Gao, the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom, who was also her grandmother, and bowed lightly, "My junior Xiao Ting, I pay my respects to the Duke of the Kingdom."

Gao didn't look at "him" at all, but only stared at Xiao Ting, who was the princess. He met the face that looked like his daughter, and the confusion and doubt in the little girl's eyes. Gao couldn't suppress the longing and bitterness in his heart, so he stepped forward and hugged Xiao Ting, hugging him tightly, "Jing Yi, I am your grandmother..."

Xiao Ting was stupid.

Jing Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the fine cloth clothes on his grandmother's body. His face was calm and his heart was overwhelmed.

"Tingsheng..." the queen called her softly.

Jing Yi raised his eyes, and the queen raised her chin to the room, and then said to Xiao Ting, who was held by Gao, who looked calm, "The Duke's wife has not entered the palace for a long time, so she must have a lot to say to you. Jing Yi will accompany you with peace of mind. It's not too late to come to see the Queen Mother after you finish recounting the past."

After saying that, he walked up to the room first.

Xiao Ting held Gao with both hands and tilted his head to ask Jing Yi for help.

Jing Yi had no choice but to look at him with guilt, and glanced over Gao in a vague way, then turned around and left with the queen.

"The Duke's wife is here?" The empress dowager was teasing Chun Ge'er on the couch. She was shocked when she heard that Gao was here.

The queen nodded and explained softly: "Mother, the Duke's wife burst into tears when she saw Jing Yi. The son and minister dared to make decisions and asked Jing Yi to accompany her in the corridor to reminisce about the past, and then let them come to pay your respects later."

"It should be, it should be." The Empress Dowager did not care about the false gifts, and turned her head to look at the glass window, feeling sighing in her heart.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded for more than 300 years. In the two generations of the late emperor and his son, the national strength was not as good as before. Although the empress dowager was a wife and mother, she could not speak against her conscience. The late emperor and his son had no achievements in governing the country, and his son was better. The late emperor lost his ambition and led to years of wars on the frontier. It was entirely up to the old Duke of the National Guardian Xu Ying. He was able to fight and lead troops with the current Duke of the National Guardian Xu Guang, and he saved the Great Zhou from danger many times.

After Xu Ying died of illness, Xu Guang became the first brave general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Xu family's descendants were not prosperous. Xu Guang and Gao had married for so many years, and only gave birth to one son and one daughter. The emperor was confused and fell in love with the beauty of the Xu family's daughter. He used means to force others to enter the palace and appointed him as Concubine Zhuang. He tried every means to make Concubine Zhuang happy and please her. After three or four years, the emperor probably felt that Concubine Zhuang had a daughter for him, so he most probably treated him sincerely. He actually sent someone to fire a secret arrow while the Xu family father and son Zhan Yang resisted the Huns.

As a result, Concubine Zhuang not only did not forget her old friend, but instead followed her in sadness.

Just when Concubine Zhuang died, Xu Guang's only son was killed in battle because of the lack of Zhan Yang, the powerful general on the battlefield. The emperor quickly sent her nephew Xiao Boyan to reinforce, and at the same time ordered no one to inform Xu Guang of Concubine Zhuang's death. Xu Guang endured the pain of losing his son and fought with the Huns. Three months later, he finally learned on his way back to Beijing that his only daughter was gone.

As soon as Zhan Yang died, Concubine Zhuang followed him. He could hide his "death of illness" from others, but he could not hide it from Xu Guang and his wife. When he returned to the capital, Xu Guang entered the palace wearing armor to meet the saint. Before the emperor could reward him with merits, Xu Guang first proposed to resign from his post and no longer wanted to serve the emperor. The emperor refused to allow him, so Xu Guang ordered people to remove the plaque in front of the Duke's Mansion, and never went to court again, and became a commoner.

Xu Guang did not come to court, and the emperor could not escort him, so he had to waive Xu Guang's official position, but the title was still preserved. Even if there was no plaque in front of the Xu family, everyone would call it the Duke of Guarding the Country.

In the past ten years, Xu Guang and his wife have never stepped into the palace. The Empress Dowager pity the Fourth Princess and invited Gao to the palace to accompany their granddaughter in the name of the Fourth Princess. She invited him several times, but Gao did not come once. It is said that Xu Guang stopped him and his wife refused to recognize their royal children.

This time I heard that the Fourth Princess fell into the water, so Gao couldn't sit still, right?

The Empress Dowager sighed softly. Xu Guang was a hero of the Great Zhou. If possible, she really hoped to let Xu Guang return to the court through the Fourth Princess. There were too many hidden dangers in the frontier, and there were a lot of civil officials in the Great Zhou, but there were only a few generals who could take action. If it weren't for the three nephews and the three of them who were fighting for the best, I would probably...

With mixed thoughts, the Queen Mother touched Brother Chun'er's head and looked at the young man on the ground again.

Jing Yi stood silently in front of the couch, his eyes drooping, as quiet as a green bamboo in the deep mountains and old forests.

"Tingsheng must study hard and must not be naughty anymore." The empress dowager again instructed. The battlefield was dangerous. She sincerely hoped that her three nephews and grandson would devote themselves to literature, not learn from the two brothers above, and work hard on the battlefield with all their passion.

Jing Yi responded absent-mindedly.

In the yard, after the initial helplessness, Xiao Ting quickly calmed down. He had grandmother and mother at home, and concubine Rong's aunt and queen mother in the palace. Over the years, Xiao Ting had already become familiar with how to deal with the joys, sorrows and sorrows of his elders.

If Gao was an ordinary old lady, Xiao Ting would definitely not bother to pay attention to it, but Gao was the grandmother of the Fourth Princess...

Since the fourth princess liked him, he also looked at the fourth princess' body. If he changed his body back in the future, Xiao Ting would definitely be responsible for the fourth princess. At that time, the fourth princess' grandmother would also be his grandmother. Sooner or later, he would have to coax him.

"Grandma, I'll help you sit there?" Gao's tears kept flowing. Xiao Ting took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, and suggested softly. He is now a girl, speaking softly, with a very nice voice, and he is sincere and filial, which sounds particularly cool.

Gao couldn't believe his ears very much, stopped tears, and looked up at his granddaughter.

Her husband hated the emperor and refused to recognize his granddaughter with royal blood. When his daughter left, Gao's feelings for his granddaughter were very complicated, but year after year, although Gao had never entered the palace after hearing her husband's words, he could not help but send a maid to inquire about everything about the Fourth Princess.

It is said that the fourth princess is cold-hearted. Gao used a hunger strike to force the old man to let her into the palace to visit her granddaughter who fell into the water. On the way, he was worried that the fourth princess would not recognize her, but he did not expect...

"Jingyi, I have neglected you for so many years. Don't you blame me?" Gao asked with tears in his eyes.

When Xiao Ting heard this, the smile on his face immediately faded.

For the sake of the Fourth Princess, he was willing to treat Gao as an elder, but Xiao Ting was not very happy when he thought of the deserted furnishings of Ganlu Palace and the great beauty who developed a cold and frosty temperament, which contained the "credits" of Xu Guang and his wife.

Fu Gao sat down, Xiao Ting stood aside with a calm face, looked into the distance and said, "What are you looking for me?"

The granddaughter was angry, and Gao could not sit still. He quickly stood up again, held Xiao Ting's arm and said, "Jing Yi, I heard that you fell into the water. How is it? Have you recovered? Have you been injured? "

Xiao Ting sneered, pushed her hand away and said, "Fortunately, I'm lucky, I'm not dead."

The water he and the Fourth Princess fell the night before yesterday. Gao did not appear all day yesterday. He has just come now, so it is obvious that he is not too concerned.

Gao heard the resentment of her granddaughter, but she couldn't say anything about her suffering. She thought about it after receiving the letter yesterday. The old man was unsure of life and death. If she told her granddaughter truthfully that her closest grandfather would not love her, how disappointed would her granddaughter be? No, if she had not been ignorant for more than ten years, her granddaughter would have been disappointed for a long time, so how could she have to wait until today?

"Jing Yi, grandma, I'm sorry for you..." Before he finished speaking, Gao's tears fell again.

Seeing that she was crying and blamed herself, Xiao Ting was probably sincerely regretful, so he felt a little reluctant and helped Gao sit down again and sighed: "Don't cry, it's windy here, don't dry your face."

Gao nodded repeatedly, wiped his tears, and looked at Xiao Ting with his eyes as if he wanted to make up for the past ten years.

Xiao Ting sat aside, showing her with his eyes closed.

"Look exactly like your mother, no wonder he doesn't like you." After finally seeing it, Gao said bitterly. Emperor Yanqing, the current emperor, forced her to ask for her precious daughter, but also made her poor beauty. Her granddaughter looks like her mother. The emperor may think of the evil he committed once when he sees it, and of course he doesn't like it.

Xiao Ting heard a lot of gossip about Concubine Zhuang. He was a man and could understand the emperor. The woman he loved pretended to be someone else in his heart. No one would feel comfortable, let alone the Nine Five Lords who wanted to be in the wind and rain. But that was the outsider who used to be just watching the fun, but now he has become a "fourth princess", so Xiao Ting complained to the emperor a little.

No matter what, the fourth princess is all his biological daughters. The fourth princess fell into the water and the emperor didn't come to see him. She was too cruel.
