Chapter 12 The Decree
The matter of adoption was settled because of the sudden appearance of King Qin.

Xia Shiheng was unwilling, but he had no good plan. He only used the excuse that Brother Quan was still young, and continued to control the family business of the General's Mansion as the head of the mansion.

Mrs. Xu came to see Xia He once, and after talking about family matters, she changed the topic to Xia Shiheng's refusal to delegate power and embarrassing the third room.

Xia He only comforted her by saying that she had more patience and everything would get better after the first seven days.

But before the first seven days, the General's Mansion received an imperial decree.

Coincidentally, Xia He was taking a bath and changing clothes when delivering the decree, so he missed it.

By the time she packed herself up and hurried to the front yard, it was almost time for a cup of tea.

"One imperial decree? Surely there is only one!" There were clearly two imperial decrees in the last life.

"Miss, that's right. The servant girl asked clearly. It's just one thing." Cui Liu replied. "Besides, I heard that the sixth prince is the one who came to our mansion to preach the decree!"

"Miss." Halfway through the walk, two maids from unknown yards saw her from a distance, and hurried up to salute her.

Seeing the attitude of the two of them, Xia He felt even more uncertain.

If there is only one imperial decree, then is it pointing her to the fourth son of the emperor, Xia Wenqi, to be his side concubine?

After all, if the big family has an heir in this life, even if there is any reward, it will not fall on her second uncle.

"Miss, shall we also go to the mourning hall?" Lan Xin persuaded after following her. "There are too many people coming and going in the mourning hall. I'm afraid some male guests will bump into the young lady. We'd better not go there."

"It's okay. I only said not to go, but I didn't say not to go. That's my own father, and I used to be in common sense." Xia He's speed did not slow down.

When approaching the mourning hall, the voices of several young men could be faintly heard.

"I thought the Great General's Mansion would be in decline just like that! I didn't expect him to become an upstart now."

"That's also smart."

"That is to say. There were no heirs before, and no one died! Now you have a stepson."

"If you want me to say, that stepson is really lucky to have such a great fortune."

……

This is about Brother Quan.

Xia He compared Lan Xin and Cui Liu with a silent jewelry, and the three continued to go to the mourning hall.

According to this, the imperial decree is not for her, but for Brother Quan?Otherwise, how can it be said that it is a great fortune!
The more Xia He thought about it, the happier she felt, and she walked faster,
It's just that the steps are much lighter this time.

Arriving at the mourning hall, Xia He first met her third uncle Xia Shichang.From his words, Xia He knew the truth of the imperial decree.

The imperial decree probably said that Hussar General Xia Guowen led his army to guard the northern border for more than ten years, and he fought hundreds of battles, all of which belonged to Sheji.Because he died in battle and sacrificed his life for the country, he was posthumously named Bo Zhongyi, and his title was hereditary for three generations.

Hereditary for three generations!

Xia He was overjoyed.

In other words, although the imperial decree was given to her father, it was Brother Quan who really benefited.

He is already a loyal uncle.

"Great! We, Brother Quan, will be people with status in the future."

"Yes, yes. This child is lucky." Xia Shichang nodded repeatedly.

Smiling and laughing, it is inevitable that I feel a little lost in my heart.

It would be even more perfect if this title fell on his brother Jun.

After all, Brother Jun is a master.

Xia He could tell at a glance that his heart was biased, so he didn't want to talk to him about it.

"Third uncle, shouldn't the imperial decree be enshrined? Why are you all here at the mourning hall?"

"It has been enshrined." Xia Shiheng pointed inside. "The sixth prince said he would come to offer incense to your father."

"So you all came with me?" As for it!

"Ah."

"Then you guys stay with me! I'll go back first."

Xia Shiheng nodded and urged her. "Well, go back quickly, there are so many people here."

"I'll come back to watch the spirit at night." Xia He said.

"Okay. I'll arrange more guards around here at night. Let Brother Quan accompany you."

"Thank you third uncle."

"Thank you, family." Xia Shichang chuckled.

Ever since brother Quan was adopted by the eldest son, he found this girl more and more pleasing to the eye.

Xia He was about to turn around when a group of people in the mourning hall walked out, surrounded by a handsome young man in a white shirt.

When Xia He saw it, he quickly hid behind Xia Shichang, and Xia Shichang quickly blocked her with his body.

Cui Liu and Lan Xin also stood on both sides of her, blocking her in the middle.

The four immediately stood in their positions and saluted the young man respectfully. "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

The young man walked past them without squinting. His pretty side face made people unable to bear to take a second look.

Xia He is sure that he really just took a second look.

then.

The man stopped suddenly, turned his head, and his eyes met the peeping Xia He unexpectedly.

Xia He was stunned, and immediately bent his head when the corner of the boy's mouth curled into a smile.

"Miss Xia."

The boy's clean and gentle voice sounded.

Xia He wanted to play dead.

There are so many young ladies in the Xia family, God knows who his name is.

As long as she doesn't admit it.

pity.

The third uncle standing in front of her moved, and a pair of creamy white boots embroidered with cloud patterns appeared in front of her eyes.

Xia He had to raise his head.

Seeing the approaching person approaching, she hurriedly took a step back.

Fushen. "Your Highness."

"I still think Miss Xia doesn't know me anymore!"

"How could it be!" Xia He wanted to laugh, but was a little powerless.

The boy seemed to be teasing her for fun.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he took a step back with a smile.

"So, Miss Xia still remembers this hall."

"Of course I remember." Xia He could finally breathe freely. "Last time."

Xia He wanted to thank him for being fair about what happened last time.

But before he could say anything, he heard him say it. "What a coincidence! This hall also remembers the girl."

Xia He could clearly hear a smile in his words.

Why did she have the illusion of being molested!

"Miss Xia, my hall will go to Dongyang Kingdom with the mission tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return for a year or so. You should stay in the mansion and keep your father's filial piety in peace."

"That's natural."

What does it matter to her whether he goes out or not?

What does it matter to him whether she is filial or not?

Xia He felt that he was a little baffled.

The young man smiled and turned around. "The girl take care, see you someday."

"Your Highness, take care."

After he left, Xia He realized that there was no one around him.

When did this all leave?
Were these people too discerning, or did he let it go?
bad guy!
Sure enough, there is no good thing in the royal family, they all depend on their own preferences.

Didn't consider other people's feelings at all.

What would others think if she did this!
Can he afford the loss of her reputation?
Xia He gritted his teeth.

And the certain boy who was blamed by Xia He was in a very good mood after getting into the carriage.

Putting down the curtain, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hehe! He's really an interesting person."

Thinking of the ignorance on her face when he asked her to keep her filial piety just now, he couldn't help being disappointed.

Judging by her reaction, she didn't understand the implicit expression in her words at all.

Fortunately, she has to keep mourning for three years!
