Chapter 360
"What did Grandpa think of?" Seeing his expression, He Lingjiang couldn't help asking.

He Xiangshan pondered slightly, and then said: "If you talk about this family surnamed Mei, I do know one of them, and it has some relationship with the current empress..."

Queen?

He Lingjiang couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "The Queen's mother's family name is Li, although it is also a rich family, but according to the family tree you gave me earlier, the Li family does not seem to have any connection with the rich family named Mei."

He Xiangshan shook his head, and said: "It's not that there is no such thing. In fact, when it comes to the relationship between the two families, it has to be traced back to the previous generation. In addition, the Mei family has always been hidden in the Jiangbei area. Zhou Du's reputation is not distasteful, but it is gradually being ignored by people."

Seeing that He Lingjiang was puzzled, he asked her, "Do you know what the mother's name is today's empress?"

He Lingjiang frowned slightly: "If I remember correctly, the surname should be Zhang. This Mrs. Zhang who married into the top aristocratic Li family is from the Luyang Zhang family, which is also a big family."

He Xiangshan shook his head, and said slowly: "Everyone knows that the queen's mother is named Zhang, but they forget that Mrs. Zhang is only the queen's aunt, not her biological mother."

"Mother?" He Lingjiang couldn't help being surprised, "Isn't the empress from Mrs. Zhang?"

"That's right..." He Xiangshan said, "The empress's biological mother is the concubine of the former Li Guogong. Unfortunately, the concubine's wife encountered dystocia when she gave birth to a daughter. But he couldn't save his own life."

"Ms. Zhang felt sorry for her and lost her mother. In addition, she had already given birth to three sons under her knees, so she was recorded in her name and raised as a legitimate daughter."

The queen inherited her mother's merits, she was born with good looks, and Mrs. Zhang had no daughters, so she really spent a lot of thought on raising her, and she was also one of the best among many noble ladies.

Later, when the first emperor chose concubines for the princes, he fell in love with this daughter of the Li family who had raised Mrs. Zhang since childhood, and matched with the emperor who was still a prince at that time.

But no one expected that the prince and concubine, who were not valued at that time, would become the two most respected in the Great Zhou after many years.

When she became a queen, others would naturally stop gossiping about her not being a real heir to her. In addition, the reputation of the queen's biological mother's natal family has not been well-known in recent years, so everyone gradually forgot about it.

"Then..." He Lingjiang moved his fingertips slightly, "Is the queen's biological mother from the Mei family?"

He Xiangshan picked up the teacup, took a sip and then nodded: "That's right."

"Don't look at the Mei family in Jiangbei, who is indifferent among many families in Dazhou. However, in the previous dynasty, it was a big family with one top and one top. It is valued by the royal family, and talents come forth in large numbers. This family of three assassins, the four generations and five ministers are talking about the Mei family."

"The former emperor married his most beloved eldest princess to the Mei family. At that time, it was the envy of the world."

He Xiangshan sighed faintly: "However, this is also the most glorious pinnacle of the Mei Clan. The princess's marriage is said to be the emperor's favor, but who would have thought that in just twenty years, the previous dynasty would be destroyed. Woolen cloth?"

With the establishment of a new dynasty, this was the icing on the cake, but in the end it became a raging fire.

Unlike a family like the He family, who retreated bravely when the previous dynasty fell, they could still regain their chances in the new dynasty.

Married the princess, and even the descendants of the Mei family have the blood of the former royal family, but there is no way to let go of the light relationship so easily. Even if they cut off their tails in time to survive, they have to retreat to the land of Jiangbei and let themselves disappear in the new dynasty. Within the vision of the upstart.

He Lingjiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "But if the Mei family only wants to be safe and secure, then they should not rely on the aristocratic family of the new dynasty. Then the Li family has made contributions with the late emperor."

"Since the Mei family is known as a family of three assassins, four generations and five ministers, according to the family's temperament and integrity, it is absolutely impossible to ask the daughter of the family to be a concubine for others."

It's a concubine, isn't it a concubine after all?
What's more, at that time, the new dynasty had not long been established, and if the Mei family wanted to be stable, they should hide away from these upstarts.

He Xiangshan sighed: "Who knows? It suddenly declined like this, maybe there is some unwillingness after all..."

Unwilling to reconcile, he wanted to avoid and seek stability, and at the same time, he wanted to use his in-laws to gain a relationship.

As for the truth, only the head of the Mei clan knows.

"Over the past few years, the Mei family has hardly had any sense of presence among the Da Zhou family, so much so that people have forgotten about it."

"but……"

Speaking of this, he said again: "The queen has been in power for more than ten years now. Although she is the daughter of the Li family who was raised under Mrs. Zhang's knees, the blood of the Mei family is flowing on her body. Does the Mei family have any?" Taking advantage of this shareholder wind, if I want to recover, I don't know about it."

He Lingjiang's eyes were slightly deep: "Yes. The more people ignore and forget people, if they want to toss something in the dark, it will be unexpected."

That lady Mei, joined forces with Jingu to take her body.

I don't know, is there any handwriting from the Mei family behind this?

He Xiangshan put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her and asked, "Ling Jiang, why do you suddenly want to inquire about the Mei family?"

Naturally, He Lingjiang couldn't tell him the real reason, so he could only half conceal it and said: "When I was in the barren tribe, my daughter once took down the female star envoy of the shrine."

"I learned from her that there seems to be a lady surnamed Mei who secretly cooperates with the Jingu. Moreover, the behavior of that lady Mei is not from an ordinary family."

"That's why I thought about asking Grandpa, who are the rich families with the surname Mei in our Dazhou, and see if we can find any clues."

"The Mei family and the Shengong?" He Xiangshan couldn't help frowning, "These two have a lot to do with the previous court. Could it be that there is really a secret collusion?"

What a coincidence.

He Lingjiang shook his head lightly: "It's hard to say. After all, this family is not the only one with the surname Mei in this world. It's just..."

She narrowed her eyes slightly: "It happens to be the same as the Jingu Palace, and they all have a close relationship with the previous dynasty, I'm afraid this is the only one."

Yes……

He Xiangshan's heart skipped a beat, could it really be the Mei family?

He looked at He Lingjiang, who was looking down in thought, and asked her, "Are you going to tell the saint about this?"

He Lingjiang shook his head: "No hurry. Grandpa doesn't have to worry about his daughter acting recklessly. Now all kinds of things are just guesses. Whether this Mei family is the one the female star envoy said is still unknown. How to do it, or We have to wait until our daughter investigates first."

This Mei family is, after all, the family of the queen's biological mother.

On the surface it seems to have declined, but who knows how?
She naturally wanted to find out the details before making any plans.
