Song Gexing

Chapter 91 The sudden appearance of the prince

Zhao Pan'er glanced at Zhao Fang in surprise, looking thoughtful in his arms.

A few days later, Zhao Zhen sent someone to convey the decree and gave Xiao Guanyin a Yanling sword made of hundreds of refined steel. He could wear this sword into the palace without taking it off.

Xiao Guanyin was slightly startled and immediately understood why.

When Zhao Fang stayed in her room that night, he saw her playing with the Yanling knife and looking at him. He couldn't help hugging her and saying, "Don't think too much. There are people watching in our family, but they are not targeting you. It's because my parents are afraid of me." He caused trouble and came to see me specially. Even I don’t know who it is, only that bastard Xiao Zhengzi knows.”

Xiao Guanyin was slightly startled, then laughed and said, "It seems that my husband has broken my parents' heart!"

"Who said that? They are just worrying!"

Zhao Fang didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his beloved wife, but what he said was so false, which made him laugh even harder.

The couple played around for a while and got ready to rest.

Don't think wrongly, it's really just a joke, Xiao Guanyin is still underage.

"Husband, Sister Momo and Brother Ling..."

Xiao Guanyin, who was lying in his arms, hesitated to speak, and Zhao Fang suddenly realized.

Why was she playing with a knife when she entered the house? This was telling herself that she knew there was surveillance at home, but she was not afraid of herself, but worried about Xiao Momo and Brother Xiao Ling.

Patting her fragrant shoulder caressingly, Zhao Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, since Daddy didn't punish them, it means that this matter is over. Our Daddy is the most kind, and he loves you for marrying far away, and won't do it for this. He gets angry over trivial matters."

Xiao Guanyin slept soundly that night, but there was one person who was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and that was Zhao Pan'er.

"Meet the princess!"

Zhao Pan'er went to Meng Xin's place early in the morning. After two years, 16-year-old Meng Xin still hadn't grown much taller. She was less than 1.6 meters tall. When she saw Zhao Pan'er, who was over 1.7 meters tall, she quickly sat down.

Zhao Pan'er seemed to be used to her being like this. He hesitated and said, "Pan'er wants to visit dad today. Please ask the princess for permission."

Meng Xin laughed when she heard this and said, "It is normal for sister Er to return to her parents' home. If there is anything else that is not allowed, let someone make arrangements for it."

Zhao Pan'er thanked her hurriedly. Her father, Zhao Qian, was released from exile in advance after she was adopted as a concubine by Zhao Fang. He did not return to his hometown of Dengzhou, but settled in Bianjing.

Of course, now the name Zhao Pan'er is only called at home, and outside she is Cao Pan'er.

As for Princess Meng Xin, she was also called Sister Pan'er. That was Zhao Fang's request. One of the wonders of the Wei Palace was that his wives and concubines were all sisters according to their age.

This is related to his thoughts from later generations. The family is too tired to call them by the official titles. Of course, the concubines also followed the etiquette and still called them Princess Meng Xin and Little Princess Xiao Guanyin.

In Zhao Qian's mansion, a beautiful woman was waiting to greet the maids and maids who had followed Zhao Pan'er, and the guards outside were waiting for lunch.

Zhao Pan'er, who was alone, sat opposite her father Zhao Qian, both of whom had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Really don't want to?"

After a long while, Zhao Qian slowly asked.

Zhao Pan'er nodded solemnly and said unhappily: "Dad, can't you still let go? It's been so many years, and the enemy is not the Song Dynasty, let alone the Zhao family."

Zhao Qian sneered and said: "Yes, the hatred between our ancestors has nothing to do with Zhao Song, but what about your mother? Is dad wrong? After fighting for Zhao Song for many years, his wife and children were separated."

Zhao Pan'er's eyes turned red, and after a long silence, she looked outside and said, "Didn't dad remarry again? Dad was right at the time emotionally, but he was wrong legally." The father and daughter fell into silence again, and after a long time Zhao Qian finally said Sighing: "Is he good to you?"

Zhao Pan'er looked up at him, nodded gently and said seriously: "He is the husband recognized by my daughter. If it were not for this status, he would marry me as the princess instead of someone else."

"Is that so..."

Zhao Qian sighed again, thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it again as a father. You go back early to avoid arousing suspicion."

These words made Zhao Pan'er sigh softly, realizing that he still didn't touch his father.

At this time, Zhao Fang was in Kaifeng Mansion. He stared at Qian Mingyi with an angry face and said: "A person whose identity cannot be confirmed can let you know that Kaifeng Mansion does not dare to try him. When you impeached me again and again for your courage, Where is it?"

Qian Mingyi is now the Quan Zhi Kaifeng mansion. This descendant of King Wuyue who was born in Qian Wang's mansion was made restless by a person who claimed to be Zhao Zhen's son and dared not interrogate him.

At the end of April in the second year of Emperor You's reign, a young man appeared on Bianjing Street, claiming to be the biological son of Emperor Zhao Zhen and living outside.

Kaifeng Mansion was shocked when they received the news and hurriedly arrested the person to Kaifeng Mansion. However, the man scolded Qian Mingyi on the spot, so frightened that he stood up.

After careful questioning, the man named Leng Qing took out a bellyband embroidered with dragons and phoenixes. Qian Mingyi saw that it was truly from the palace and did not dare to examine it.

When the matter was reported to the court, Zhao Zhen himself was confused. Indeed, he had done that ridiculous thing back then. Whenever he met a palace maid, he would give her a bellyband as a token.

This is still to say that he has been married for many years and has no children. Zhao Fang was only born when he was 28 years old. He had not given birth to a son for more than ten years before that.

When he saw a good-looking palace maid, he started to fuss over her. Later, he was persuaded by the Minister of Admonition in Taiwan and released 247 such palace maids in the second year of Baoyuan.

Leng Qing's mother was one of those people. The second year of Baoyuan was 1039, which was two years after Zhao Fang was born.

Leng Qing is actually just a half-grown child, Qian Mingyi's performance really makes people speechless, he was born as a censor.

Now being questioned by Zhao Fang, he had no choice but to admit his mistake.I admit that the bolder I become in my official position, the less courageous I become.

"Bring him out. Since you dare to say that he is my younger brother, let me see if he looks like me."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Zhao Fang calmly told him that he could still be condescending in Kaifeng Mansion. After all, he was still the governor of Kaifeng Mansion.

Leng Qing was brought up, and at first he squinted at Qian Mingyi arrogantly, then heard him shout: "You haven't paid homage to King Wei yet! Even if you are a real prince, you have to bow your head before King Wei."

Only then did Leng Qing realize that the person standing in front of the hall looking at him silently was Zhao Fang, and he was immediately shocked.

"Brother Leng Qing pays homage to my brother!"

Zhao Fang chuckled and said, "Don't call me brother yet. It won't be too late after I confirm that you are my brother."

"Oh! King Wei doesn't believe that I am the son of an official?"

"Whether you believe it or not is another matter, but of course I can't confirm it with just a bellyband. Tell me your experience in detail, who you married, and where you live. Let the Imperial City Department go and verify it. No one else knows your date of birth." , the old neighbors will naturally be able to inquire about it."

Leng Qing felt a little uneasy when he heard this. He hesitated and said: "My mother died early and my adoptive father is no longer here. I have left home long ago and am studying in a foreign land. Where can I find my former neighbors."

Zhao Fang smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about these. The Imperial City Division wants to investigate a person. As long as he has his origin, there is nothing he can't find. Unless the information is false or all the people from that time are dead, no one can hide it."
