And this rumor has always accompanied Wei Youqing, and many people think that he is the emperor's fortunate minister. Wei Youqing has always ignored such boring people and boring things, but he didn't expect his wife to think like this.

Wei Youqing stared at Li Taoyao for a long time, and his expression turned cold: "It's not what you think." He said and felt hurt, "I've known you for so long, you suspect that I am that kind of person?" ”

"I didn't doubt you," Li Taoyao hurriedly explained, "It's just Your Majesty he..."

"Say no more!" Wei Youqing said angrily, "Don't speculate on Your Majesty at will. ”

"Where am I speculating, these are obvious facts." Li Taoyao was also angry, "This is what everyone knows." After she finished speaking, she felt that the strength was not enough, and added, "You know it yourself, you told me before." ”

Wei Youqing was a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect Li Taoyao to turn out what she said before to gag herself.

Wei Youqing didn't want to look at Li Taoyao's aggressive gaze, he closed his eyes and muttered for a long time, just wanting Li Taoyao to stop mentioning this matter, frowning and whispering:

"He and I are brothers, the Empress Dowager Duanci, and my aunt. Having said that, is it enough to solve the doubts in your heart? ”

Li Taoyao was silent, she knew that her father had specially sent the patrol department to check Wei Youqing's details, and knew that the Wei family was from Fujian, and was exiled because he was involved in a corruption and fraud case.

And the Wei family was not the mastermind of the ink corruption case, but was just implicated. It is precisely because of this that Li Chengsi rehabilitated the Wei family, and because of Wei Youqing's contribution to the transformation of Pearl Island, Li Chengsi made that exile land Wei Youqing's permanent fief.

But now Wei Youqing said that the Empress Dowager Duanci was his aunt, Li Taoyao didn't understand, why did the Patrol Department check him out that year, but there was no report mentioning that Wei Youqing was the cousin of the Fourth Emperor Uncle?

Either Wei Youqing is lying now, or the Wei family's life experience itself is fake. Li Taoyao was frightened by her own speculation, if so, who is Wei Youqing?

If the Empress Dowager Duanci is the Zhu Liang royal family of the previous dynasty, then is Wei Youqing also a Zhu Liang royal family? But aren't all the Zhu family dead?

Li Taoyao breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was not difficult to find out about the affairs of the Zhu family in the previous dynasty, and now in the Li Xuan Palace, there are many people who have been serving the royal family, and the Chen family is one of them.

Two days later, Li Taoyao picked a sunny day, took gifts, and took two little babies to see Chen Yachun.

Chen Yachun has never been married, there are only two little apprentices at home, and he is not at home at this time. Li Taoyao motioned to her mother with the children to take the two children to play in the yard so that she could talk to Chen Yachun.

Chen Yachun saw Li Tao's retreat, and she didn't know what she wanted to say. Li Taoyao said that when he entered the palace a few days ago, His Majesty liked An Lan and Ruyi, and succeeded An Lan as his son, and gave An Lan the surname of the country.

Chen Yachun has served in the palace for many years and is used to seeing these so-called favors. She didn't value the emperor's favor for An Lan, but she felt that Li Taoyao's mother and son had another layer of protection.

Chen Yachun saw that Li Taoyao didn't come to find herself because she had some quarrel with Wei Youqing, let go of half of her heart, and saw Li Taoyao's face unswerving, wondering if Li Taoyao didn't like Li Chengyu to succeed An Lan?

Therefore, Chen Yachun smiled and said: "Tao Yao, your Shatuo Li family has always had the custom of accepting a righteous son and recognizing his godfather, which means to express closeness." Like that Guanlan, didn't he recognize the young godbrother as his father-in-law? Youqing also has a father-in-law.

Now that Anlan has His Majesty as his godfather, what a good reliance he has. In the future, the identity of An Lanyan's eldest son will be more stable, and you and Ruyi's mother and daughter will have a good place to rely on. In this way, even if Guanlan is capable, we don't have to be afraid. ”

Li Taoyao smiled: "What the godmother said is very true. It's just that His Majesty wants to keep An Lan in the palace to be raised, but the young man is reluctant. Fortunately, His Majesty later withdrew his order, and the matter passed. Godmother is well-informed, it turns out that this custom of receiving a righteous son is actually a custom unique to our Shatuo Li clan? The former Zhu Liang royal family, didn't they like this? ”

Chen Yachun was very happy when she heard that Wei Youqing loved An Lan so much that she didn't even care about the emperor's words, and she was also very interested in listening to Li Taoyao talk about ancient rites.

"Not necessarily, it's just not as many as the Shatuo Li family." Chen Yachun glanced at Li Taoyao, thinking that Li Taoyao was the Li family after all, and Zhu Li was such an enemy who did not share the sky, it was not appropriate for him to put the two families in an equal position to comment, so he smiled again:

"Don't say that the Zhu family was defeated by Grandpa Gao's subordinates back then, even now, where are they where we are now wise and martial, and they can't be compared together."

Li Taoyao smiled quietly: "Needless to say, Grandpa Gao, of course he is a god who is both civil and military. A few days ago, I was at Concubine Zheng's place, and I saw the portrait painted by Grandpa Gao for the Empress Dowager Duanci, like a living one, which was too expressive. ”

"Yes, this Empress Dowager Duanci was really beautiful when she was young, and she was a good person. It's a pity that my life is not good, I lost early. I heard that the saint is also a talent today. ”

"I heard that this Duanci Empress Dowager is a princess of the Zhu family......" Li Taoyao tentatively led the topic in the direction she wanted, plus Chen Yachun couldn't think of Wei Youqing's identity anymore, these things were stories from a long time ago, and Chen Yachun naturally didn't doubt it.

Li Taoyao continued: "I heard that the mother's family of the Empress Dowager Duanci, that is, the Zhu family royal family who surrendered, all the people died? ”

Chen Yachun sighed and said, "Almost, the male protagonist over the age of sixteen heard that he was decided." The rest of the women, children, house slaves, were exiled. They are all pampered people, and I heard that there is a newborn child in it, where can this survive. ”

Li Taoyao then became interested, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, let her voice maintain a flat curiosity, and said, "You just said that there is a newborn child in it?" ”

"Yes, that child, I heard that it is the child of the youngest son of the Zhu family, the youngest son of the Zhu family, who was only fifteen years old at the time, and it was also the Empress Dowager Duanci who begged Grandpa Gao, saying that they were not adults, so the family of three was exiled together."

"And then?"

Not long after, I heard that they were all sick and dead. The Empress Dowager Duanci died, and Grandpa Gao also died. I remember that year, your father was only eleven or twelve years old, right? At the beginning, it was Empress Dowager Zheng who managed the government. Later, the emperor got married, and the government slowly returned to your mother. The Zhao family, no one dared to mess with it at that time, but now it's gone. ”

"Yes," Li Taoyao remembered Zhao Feifei's words and his miserable experience, and muttered sadly, "The Zhao family hasn't even survived a single chicken now." ”
