have to!Is she masochistic?
Several people greeted each other, He Lianshu's eyes fell on Xu Jiao's face lightly, "You asked me to help you with two things earlier, but the second one doesn't need to be far away. Mr. Du and your father used to be My best friend, Mr. Du knows many things about your father in detail, but even though I know about it, I can't answer for you on my behalf, and I have to come back and discuss with you before I can answer you."

Xu Jiao raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the middle-aged scribe next to Helianshu, who was dressed in civilian clothes and had a beautiful beard. It turns out that this Mr. Du has such a great background?Not only He Lianshu's husband, the eldest princess' old friend, but also with her, oh no!To be precise, it should have such a relationship with Jing Yue?
Sensing her gaze, Mr. Du raised his eyes to meet her, smiled warmly at her and said, "The last time we met was a bit hasty, and I didn't know you were the daughter of Brother Jiuyi at that time, otherwise I should have some noise with you That's right, I'm sorry."

Xu Jiao was a little ashamed. It seems that He Lianshu never told Mr. Du that she was a fake Li Daitao. Although she has played Jingyue for a long time, she can't take it for granted because she is proficient. She is not guilty at all!Especially the one standing across from him is cheap father's best friend.She is more than a little guilty!

"Mr. is serious. I was in a hurry last time. I don't know the relationship between sir and my late father. It's juniors who are rude. Please don't refuse, sir. You should be worshiped by juniors first." Xu Jiao said, squatting Pulling back his knees, he bowed deeply to Mr. Du.

Mr. Du did not refuse, accepted her junior gift, smiled and raised his hand and said, "Don't stand still, sit down and talk!"

He Lianshu clenched his fists at the eldest princess, "The princess entrusts me to help investigate the past of her parents. I have invited you, sir, and please Your Highness to stay, to be a witness, and to make more additions."

"So this is the one who asked Bengong to help you?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, and glanced at He Lianshu and Mr. Du who had already sat down calmly, without revealing any joy or anger. After a while, her eyes fell on Xu Jiao's face. , Seeing the slight anxiety in her expression, the eldest princess raised her red lips and said with a bright smile, "Since it is about my daughter, I will keep it. I also want to hear about the past, so I have to give it to you." Jiao is in charge, don't be fooled by your clever words and expressions."

After the eldest princess finished speaking, Xu Bu walked to the nearby armchair and sat down, with a dignified sitting posture, a slightly raised chin, and a calm and natural royal arrogance, without anger and prestige.

Xu Jiao silently glanced at the eldest princess, and then at Mr. Du who was holding a teacup and drinking tea calmly. He never thought that there would be such an atmosphere between the two, and he glanced suspiciously at Helian Excuse me, are you sure these two won't get into a fight after a while?

He Lianshu didn't seem to see her wink, and when he turned his gaze back, those servants who knew the wink offered refreshments, and then walked out of the hall almost silently, and closed the door considerately at the same time.

The light in the flower hall dimmed by two points, and there was silence everywhere. Once the door was closed, it became a secret room, which is really suitable for telling ghost stories, oh no, it's about the past.

Xu Jiao and He Lianshu sat next to Mr. Du and the eldest princess on one left and one on the right. Xu Jiao quietly straightened his back, sat upright, looked at Mr. Du calmly, and acted like a well-behaved and sensible junior.

"I heard from A Shu that you want to know the cause of your father's death, and the relationship between the eldest and the second wife in your house?" Fortunately, Mr. Du is not pretending to be forceful. Leaving Xu Jiao, straight to the point.

"Yes. It is said that my father is amazingly talented, but he died young. No one has ever mentioned the cause of his death. It seems to be a secret, but as his daughter, I don't want to be so confused. Besides, my mother treats the elder Fang's attitude is very strange. So, I have to figure out these things, and ask my husband to enlighten me." Xu Jiao bowed to Mr. Du and said frankly.

"Your father is a genius in painting. He became famous at a young age and is sought after by thousands of people. The fame and fortune that others may spend their entire lives pursuing, he has already obtained it very early, and in the eyes of others, he obtained it very easily. Fortunately, he is a clear-headed person, and he has truly managed to not be surprised. He likes to paint, but he is only immersed in the world in the painting, which is pure and straightforward. However, his talent and simplicity have finally become I took his death talisman." Mr. Du's tone was full of embarrassment.

Mr. Du's admiration and regret for the cheap father in the short words are complicated, but they are also simple and clear, but Xu Jiao doesn't understand, "Why?"

Mr. Du did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the eldest princess.

Xu Jiao felt something in his heart, and he and He Lianshu both looked in the direction of the eldest princess.The latter was not the least bit different, and was still as before, with a straight back, an upright and elegant sitting posture, and an air of calm and majestic full of royal bearing.

"Jiuyi was born in Jingfu. At that time, your grandfather was not yet in the position of minister, but he was also a mainstay in the court. He was valued by the late emperor and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. The late emperor also liked calligraphy and painting. The first famous painting in Jiuyi was a painting. Go back to the picture of Shengri seeking fragrance that you drew when you accompanied your grandfather to the palace for the spring banquet. When the late emperor saw it, he was very appreciative. The late emperor not only valued Jiuyi's talent, but also liked his temperament, so he often took him with him , eat and sleep together, and even the word Jiuyi was chosen by the late emperor for him. Because Jiuyi was also very handsome, there were many rumors at that time."

What she said was cryptic. If Xu Jiao was an aboriginal and raised in a boudoir since she was a child, she might not be able to understand it, but she didn't. She was obsessed with novels about love between men and men for a while, so how could she not understand?It's no wonder that Mr. Du wanted to take a special look at the eldest princess just now, the first emperor is her real father.However, Xu Jiao earlier thought that the eldest princess was her cheap father's confidante, and after Mr. Du appeared, she felt that she had misjudged her, but now the eldest princess' father and her cheap father...do you want to be so heavy-handed? ah?

Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped by in Xu Jiao's heart, but he still had a cute and cute face on his face. Mr. Du probably felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at her, coughed twice, and then continued, " On the surface, Jiuyi is very proud of his talents, he never pays attention to these ordinary things, and naturally he doesn't care about these rumors. No matter how bad the rumors are, he doesn't take it seriously, and he still does what he wants Later, because of his calm demeanor, there were fewer rumors, especially after he got married. The husband and wife were deeply in love with each other. Don't let him stay in the palace anymore, this way, the rumors will gradually subside."

"Who knows, that year, the late emperor reverted to his old ways and suddenly ordered your father to accompany him in the palace. This time, he stayed in the palace for a full month."
