When the day of ancestor worship arrived, it was cloudy and misty outside.

Xie Chongxiao set off early, today is a big day.

In addition to offering sacrifices to the ancestors, His Majesty specifically asked Concubine Wan to take the lead in offering sacrifices to the father and son of the Guo family.

When Xie Chongxiao went out, he was stopped by an old member of the Guo family.

"Master Marquis, Master Marquis, you know my identity, why don't you let me stay with your wife." Wang Gu Po begged, "I also want to sacrifice to the old general, and also want to see how my young master was doing. ”

Xie Chongxiao paused.

Everyone thought the young master back then was Qiu Wan.

Now she is known to everyone as the surviving daughter of the Guo family.

Xie Chongxiao pondered for a moment: "Okay."

Nie Huating was dressed plainly today, and the green color made her face look pretty. Looking at herself in the mirror, Nie Huating was a little surprised, "I remember that the late Queen Gu said that I look like the noble concubine Guo Jingrong."

She has never met her family, so she feels a bit sad when she mentions Concubine Guo.

How could being remembered by the emperor be compared to the pain of his father and brother who died unjustly and then committed suicide.

Ah Tang comforted her: "Madam has no relatives, but don't be sad, Madam. I will be with Madam all my life, as well as the Marquis, and Madam has so many friends."

"Ok, I know."

When Nie Huating went out, Xie Chongxiao asked many people to follow him.

It seems that today's events are very grand.

"The only noble concubines around His Majesty are Zheng Guifei and Wan Guifei." Nie Huating said, "Concubine Xuan's life is not easy after all."

"But His Majesty favors Concubine Xuan after all. I don't think anything will happen to Concubine Zheng."

Nie Huating was silent. Concubine Zheng was of course nothing.

She was worried about Qiu Wan, who had deep thoughts.

Ah Tang said regretfully, "Back then, my wife admired Wan Guifei very much."

Nie Huating sighed, he was born in a famous family, and his surviving daughter was pitiful. She was beautiful and intelligent. She originally liked Qiu Wan.

But from what happened to Prince Yan, her child disappeared for no reason.

Qiu Wan is definitely not innocent.

Xie Chongxiao was afraid that she would be sad, so he didn't say it clearly, but A Song was dead after all.

I will never eat delicious crabs again.

Those who came today were all people close to His Majesty. In addition to Xie Chongxiao, Prince Yan's Mansion and the Zheng family, Jiang Suyin was also invited.

When Jiang Suyin saw the two of them, he smiled and said in surprise, "Oh my, my, if I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have seen my eldest brother and sister-in-law. My eldest sister-in-law just had a miscarriage, so she needs to take good care of her."

Nie Huating raised his head and squinted his eyes, "Has my second brother been promoted? Are you so happy?"

Jiang Suyin couldn't hide his smile, "I know I'm mediocre, how can I compare with my elder brother? Haha, the imperial doctor came to my house yesterday to check Yin Zhen's pulse. Yin Zhen is pregnant!"

Jiang Suyin said proudly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm afraid my mother's eldest grandson came out of my room!"

Nie Huating couldn't believe it. Jiang Suyin had hurt Xue Yinzhen so badly and yet she could still give him a child!

"you!"

Jiang Suyin groaned, "Sister-in-law, you are jealous. Come on, we are a family. When the time comes, we will invite you two to the child's full moon banquet. Mother is very happy."

Xie Chongxiao told Nie Huating, "You go in first."

After Nie Huating left, Jiang Suyin looked at his face and said, "Brother, after the child is born, she will be your niece. Why are you so cold and not happy for me? That's right. Brother is a member of the royal family. This He is the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, so it is understandable that the eldest brother would be unhappy."

"niece?"

"Yes." Jiang Suyin said leisurely, "Isn't it good for a daughter? A son is the most heartless. He can send his father to prison and ignore his mother's kindness in giving birth. He is like a white-eyed wolf." Xie Zhongxiao's face turned pale. The atmosphere was tense between the two brothers.

"Brother, don't be angry." Jiang Suyin said with a smile, "I'm not talking about you, but myself. Don't be angry. I used to be a younger brother and I wasn't sensible. I'm sorry for you and my sister-in-law. We are brothers. You But don’t worry about it. From now on, I will live my life and you will live yours. I am not alone now. I have a wife and a daughter, okay, brother?"

Jiang Suyin's face was white and warm, and his words were sincere and touching.

Xie Chongxiao said directly: "No."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Jiang Suyin said from behind: "I'm your brother, why are you so cruel."

I'm afraid she's jealous of him, jealous that he's going to have a daughter.

Nie Huating accompanied Xie Chongxiao to worship his ancestors. Seeing that he looked wrong, he stayed with him.

He grew up in the imperial palace as a child, and he was not closely related to the Jiang family, but he could not call anyone in the royal family his relatives.

Xie Chongxiao's biological father was Emperor Lingzheng. Compared with the previous emperor and the present Emperor, Emperor Lingzheng died at a young age and spent his life fighting with powerful officials and clans.

But she still has some feelings for Xie Chongxiao, her biological son whom she doesn't recognize.

Xie Chongxiao looked at her and said, "This is your first time here. Go and offer incense to your father."

Nie Huating nodded, and after finishing, he knelt beside him again, "Isn't this your first time here?"

Xie Chongxiao seemed to be recalling, "As soon as I could stand, my father and the late emperor brought me here."

"Have you known about your life experience for a long time?"

She knew that with his intelligence it would not be difficult to guess.

"Well, I knew it when I was very young." Xie Chongxiao sighed, "At that time, it was my uncle in front of others, but he told me that I was his son and he wanted to call him Emperor Father."

Nie Huating understood that if this was the case, then the late emperor and the late empress must have known about it for a long time.

Among the three brothers, Xie Chongxiao is the youngest.

Xie Chongxiao knelt straight. He recognized this father more than Jiang Xuyao.

Otherwise, who is his son?

Nie Huating didn't speak, just stayed by his side silently.

Xie Zhongxiao supported her and said, "Get up, don't kneel down."

"I want to be with you."

Xie Zhongxiao laughed dumbly. The atmosphere between the two of them was harmonious, so beautiful that it didn't seem like a human being.

Fate was a little biased towards him, and Nie Huating gave him some bias.

"Actually, among the three brothers, my father was the best to me." Xie Chongxiao said calmly, "The late emperor was already the prince at that time, and his lessons were taught by the grand master, but my father personally taught me riding and archery, and taught me how to read. He took me to his palace since I was a child."

The late emperor actually favored him so much.

"It's not a good thing. When the weather was freezing, my father still asked me to practice one move after another. If I didn't study seriously for a moment, I would get a beating." He now understood, "If he hadn't been so strict I'm afraid I will be raised as a useless person in Jiang Mansion."

"The Marquis has lived up to his expectations."

Both the late emperor and the current majesty understand that it is difficult for Xie Chongxiao to be the emperor, but he is of the same mind as the royal family.

It is the sharpest sword of the royal family and the scabbard of the royal family.

Nie Huating's heart felt cold. Perhaps she was overthinking it. From Emperor Lingzheng to the late Emperor, it was like a game of chess.

The Yang family only left one daughter, the eldest princess. Emperor Lingzheng eliminated all the Yang family except their grandsons Xie Chongxiao and Jiang Suyin.

The late emperor used the help of the Gu family to get rid of the Guo family, and used Xie Chongxiao's help to get rid of the Jiang family, and the Gu family rebelled.

Now among the aristocratic families in the court, only Prince Yan's Mansion, the Zheng Family, and Xie Chongxiao remain.

Then who will be next?
