Chapter 14 Quite similar
  Not long after Xiao Tingyun returned to the house, she heard Xiao Qu, the Marquis of Xiao, sent someone to ask her to go to the study.

Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao Laohou did treat Xiao Tingyun differently from his other grandchildren.

Xiao Tingyun could enter Mr. Xiao's study at will, but others could not.

Mr. Xiao Laohou also kept his partiality in his face. If anyone dared to talk too much, he would just send him out to live alone.

Anyway, the Xiao family doesn't have any so-called family training. At worst, Xiao Ding will re-edit the few pages of the family tree.

Xiao Tingyun took Lan Zhi to Mr. Xiao's study.

The old housekeeper Huang Ping was waiting for her. As soon as he appeared, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss Third, you are here. The Marquis is waiting for you."

"Uncle Huang, grandpa hasn't had a drink in the bar these days?" Xiao Tingyun asked with a smile.

Huang Ping's smiling face froze, and his fluent expression seemed to be tongue-tied for an instant, "Well... about this matter, Mr. Hou, I guess... probably... maybe..."

"Xiaoyun!" Suddenly a hearty voice shouted.

The voice was like the sound of nature. Huang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. Don't be surprised if he doesn't come again...

Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

A majestic old man with gray hair and a long beard walked out of the study. It was Xiao Qu, the old marquis of the Xiao family.

Although he is almost seventy years old, he is still energetic, tall and tall, with bright black eyes.

"Bless me, grandfather!" Xiao Tingyun bowed respectfully.

When Xiao Qu heard this, he stomped his feet and felt bad!

There are traps!
  "Haha, Xiaoyun is getting more and more thoughtful." Xiao Qu mustered up his energy to face his granddaughter.

Xiao Tingyun had a smile on her lips, "My granddaughter will definitely pay more attention to my grandfather's affairs."

"Okay, okay...ok..." Xiao Qu said yes while winking at Huang Ping and twitching his face.

He always felt that there was a bit of threat in that "Duo Duo Xin".

Huang Ping looked at Mr. Hou, who was about to sprain his eye, and immediately realized, "Oh, Miss Third, Mr. Hou is looking for you for something. You are not feeling well just after you came back, so why not go in quickly and sit down to rest."

"Ah...yes! Come in and sit down first!" Xiao Qu put his hand on his long beard, put one hand behind his back, and immediately followed the words.

He strode towards the study, a bit like running away.

Huang Ping: Mr. Hou, you are the head of the family! ! !

After Huang Ping happily sent the person in, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't tell me, he is also quite scared...

In the study, there was an imperial chair. Xiao Tingyun was sitting peacefully, holding a cup of tea in his hand and taking a few sips.

The majestic body of the old Marquis opposite him was stuffed into a stool, looking aggrieved. Xiao Qu unnaturally touched his long beard and coughed twice.

Xiao Tingyun raised her eyes and asked with concern, "Grandpa is unwell?"

"No, no!" Xiao Qu immediately replied seriously.

Xiao Tingyun chuckled, "It seems that telling my grandfather to stop drinking was effective. My grandfather has not been feeling unwell these days."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qu quickly retorted, "Actually, I'm still feeling a little unwell today, and I can't just say I can stop drinking this wine!"

Climb——

The teacup was slowly put down, making a slight sound when it was touched. Xiao Tingyun stopped smiling and frowned slightly.

hum-

Xiao Qu knew something was wrong when he saw her like this!
  "Sure enough, you are still feeling unwell. Just now, Uncle Huang asked me to advise you, saying that you drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, and you have been feeling uncomfortable for a long time today. It seems... you have adapted to this moderate amount of drinking, and you should stop it completely in the future. !”

Stop it completely!
  Stop it...

Xiao Qu's scalp went numb after hearing this, and he was so angry that his beard flew straight up, "This old guy knows how to sue me! Let's see if I don't peel off his skin!!"

"Isn't it just a pound of wine!? Is it so serious??"

"Me! -" Xiao Qu was about to say something else, but suddenly he saw Xiao Tingyun staring at him with a half-smile.

You knew you had been fooled!

Xiao Qu changed his expression and said with an apologetic smile, "Grandpa was wrong." Xiao Tingyun was helpless, "Why has Grandpa learned to lie now? Drinking means drinking. It's so inappropriate for Grandpa to be seen like this."

Xiao Qu was so speechless that he became aggrieved and muttered in a low voice, "How can other people see this..."

After all, I am the head of the family, and I am also your grandfather!
  None of the three sons in the family were very respectful to him, and even His Majesty had to give him some face.

In front of this granddaughter, she acted like a child being scolded, how embarrassed she was...

Xiao Tingyun opened her mouth, feeling more helpless after all.

"What does grandfather want from me?"

Xiao Qu thought of his own affairs, straightened his back and his face became more serious.

"After court today, your father and I were suddenly left behind."

Xiao Tingyun's expression condensed, "What did your Majesty say?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qu looked a little strange, "Your Majesty asked your father and said that he remembered that your father was a Tanhualang."

Xiao Tingyun:? ? ?

Xiao Tingyun was a little confused after hearing this?

After working on it for a long time, His Majesty asked this?

"Why do you ask your father this?"

Xiao Qu was also surprised, "Your father said yes at the time, but His Majesty looked at your father again and again, and said inexplicably - It's similar???"

Xiao Qu didn't say that the look in his eyes was like that... as if he was choosing a concubine, it was inexplicably gentle.

He had never seen such a gentle expression on his Majesty.

Although His Majesty is not intimidating in appearance, and can be said to be handsome and handsome, which is rare in Daqi, and he is generally tolerant and kind to others, but he always doesn't like it in his heart. He has a bit of an emperor's coolness and insouciance, which is Tianhuang's natural temperament. He is a noble man, but he has a lot of tricks. It can be said that he can end life and death in just a moment of conversation and laughter.

Especially in the past three or four years, it has become a lot deeper and unfathomable, and one can see into people's hearts at a glance.

"I see your father was also stunned. He must have been quite frightened." Xiao Qu mocked his son with some pride.

Xiao Tingyun smiled, saying that her father was so scared that the old man must be exaggerating.

Her father, Tan Hwa Lang, had always been thoughtful, elegant and easy-going. How could she be so frightened?
  However, His Majesty's behavior is indeed puzzling.

"Your Majesty...what does this mean?" Xiao Tingyun's eyes were confused.

Xiao Qu shook his head and said seriously, "I don't know what your Majesty means. I've asked your father and he has never done anything unscrupulous."

Does this sound like what your father said?

Xiao Tingyun was helplessly amused by the old man, and couldn't help but defend her father, "How could my father be so conscientious? I guess he is saying that you and dad are somewhat similar."

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Qu heard this, he immediately stood up with his brows on his head and said disgustedly, "Your father looks like a girl, so your mother doesn't dislike him. He looks like your grandmother, but not like me."

Looking at her granddaughter's face, she looks similar to her son.

However, the face that is not pleasing to the eye on my son’s face will look good no matter how it looks on my granddaughter’s face!

She is indeed Xiao Qu’s granddaughter!
  Xiao Qu didn't think much about it. After all, His Majesty had never met Ayun, so how could he know that father and daughter were not alike.

No one expected that the old man would reveal the truth at this time...

When he thought about it later, the old man wanted to slap himself twice.

It has to be said that sometimes a query that is just one sentence away from the truth may bring about an unexpected butterfly effect...

"No matter what my father said, he was still a man appointed by the late emperor to be a flower hunter. How could he be so unworthy in my grandfather's mouth?" Xiao Tingyun was speechless and choked.

She doesn't look like a woman in any way, but her grandfather, uncle and third uncle are both tall and tall.

Only my father was born in an elegant manner, more like my grandmother, less imposing as a military general and more like a scholar. Standing among the elders in the family, he seemed a little out of place.

Xiao Qu waved his hand and didn't care whether he looked good or not, but he didn't like it anyway!
  After thinking about it, Xiao Qu suddenly had a bold idea and turned around suddenly.

"Don't tell me that your father had some romantic debts outside, and His Majesty knew about it? Could it be that His Majesty saw the one he raised outside, and came to find him in different ways to remind your father? He was afraid that your father would be secretive and unwilling to listen, so he took me as well. Call me over for training!”

The more Xiao Qu thought about it, the more he thought about it, "If it's true, I have to break his legs!!"
