Chapter 410 My surname is Li, not Xu

Seeing this, the old eunuch Deng Ning quickly followed up cheerfully.

"Eunuch Deng Ning!" The female officer immediately yelled, "Didn't you say anything about them?"

The old eunuch Deng Ning chuckled: "Aunt Zhu, they are all savages from the countryside, and they are used to being free. You wanted to use the rules of the palace to trap them from the very beginning. How could that work? The emperor said it all, treat them , You have to take it slowly, you can't do it overnight. You, you are still too impatient, but you forgot that they are also descendants of King Zhenxi. When King Zhenxi came to the capital, how dare you treat them with such an attitude? "

Aunt Zhu paused and was speechless.

Old Eunuch Denning smiled and shook his head. "Don't bully young people and be poor! What's more, the emperor feels a little guilty towards them now. They just resisted you a little, what's the point? You just bear it!"

With that said, he walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.

Aunt Zhu watched him leave leisurely, but couldn't help gritting her teeth.A young female officer next to her reminded her in a low voice: "Auntie, we should go too."

"Of course I know it's time to go. Do you still need to say that?" Aunt Zhu immediately gave her a hard look, venting the resentment that Li Er had suffered deeply from the old eunuch Deng Ning on her, and then turned and walked out.

The young female officer trembled from being yelled at, and the circles of her eyes quickly turned red.

When the other female officials saw this, they all smiled coldly, and hurried up to surround Aunt Zhu.The young female officer lowered her head and slowly followed behind.

Since it was the emperor who summoned them, of course the chariots and horses from the palace came to greet them.

Sitting in the carriage with the palace logo, the family left the palace and walked towards the palace.

King Zhenxi used to be a very important throne in the court, and was once highly valued by the late emperor.Their mansion was bestowed by the late Emperor Xiwang of the old town, and it was located on a street not far from the imperial palace.

Now coming out of the palace, the carriage immediately entered an extremely wide bluestone street.

Although the avenue was built wide, there were still not many traces of people at this time when the sun was already high.Walking along the way, they could only see a few men who looked like neatly dressed servants running back and forth, and then there was only the sound of wheels rolling and the sound of the coachman whipping his whip.

When the children entered the city yesterday, they were very surprised to see all kinds of shops at the gate of the city.It's just because I was too tired all the way, and I didn't appreciate it very much.At first, they thought they would see something interesting when they went out today, but who knew there was nothing, they suddenly lost interest, and their little faces were full of boredom.

Walking along the street, it took less than a meal, and the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

After the routine inspection, the soldiers guarding the gate let them go.

The carriage passed the first palace gate and stopped. Su Ran's family got out of the carriage, and saw that the old eunuch Deng Ning had come over again.

"Cars and horses are not allowed in the palace, young master, please get on the soft sedan chair!"

Looking in the direction he pointed, there were indeed several soft sedans already placed there.

Li Er shook his head. "No."

"How can I do that? Now the emperor and queen mother are in Kunning Palace, the place is still far away! You have traveled so long, you must have not had enough rest last night, right? The emperor is also reluctant to let you work too hard, so he specially sent The soft sedan chair is here to pick you up." The old eunuch Deng Ning said hastily.

Li Er firmly shook his head. "Let's go by ourselves."

The old eunuch Dengning's persuasion was useless, so he could only nod helplessly. "Okay, let's go then."

However, he still asked the little eunuch who carried the soft sedan chair to carry the sedan chair up and follow them all the way, in case they couldn't walk anymore so they could sit down.

But he still underestimated Li Er and his family.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom—Kunning Palace.

Immediately, a young eunuch came out and shouted in a sharp voice: "My lord ordered that Xu Yuanpu, the descendant of Queen Xuan Zhenxi, have an audience!"

"Young master, please!" The old eunuch Deng Ning hurriedly made a gesture of invitation to them, and stepped aside.

Li Er looked back at Su Ran, Su Ran nodded, and he nodded immediately, and the family stepped up the steps together and walked into the hall.When they entered, they saw a man over 40 years old wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on it.Beside him was an old woman with silver hair. The old woman had a loving face and held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.The two were talking quietly.

After Su Ran's family came in, they immediately turned around.

Li Er lowered his eyes and brought his wife and children forward to salute.

"Get up, get up!" Seeing this, the old woman got up quickly, and called to the people around her to help them up.

But they still got up slowly after finishing the whole ceremony.

At this time, the empress dowager's eye sockets were already wet.He quickly waved to Li Er: "Good boy, come here and let Ai's family take a look!"

Li Er didn't move.

"Bold! How dare you disobey the Queen Mother's order? Don't you die?" A eunuch next to him immediately shouted.

"Presumptuous!" But immediately, the emperor yelled, "The Queen Mother is talking to Queen Zhenxi, how can you interrupt?"

The queen mother also wiped the corners of her eyes quickly. "It's true that the Ai family was negligent. This child is already this old, and he has already passed the age of being a child in front of the elders. Just seeing him, the Ai family thought of more than ten years ago. At that time, he was only so tall. , was brought into the palace by his grandmother, Aijia still remembers her appearance at that time, as if it was yesterday. But who knows, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and everything has changed!"

She sadly recalled the past, which made the eyes of everyone around her turn red.The emperor quickly raised his smiling face: "Queen mother, don't be too sad. Haven't they been found now? Although everyone else in the Zhenxi Palace is gone, they still have their lineage. I will definitely compensate them well, and make up for all the debts owed to Prince Zhenxi's residence all these years!"

"Of course! He has suffered too much these years. Aijia heard about his experience outside and saw him now. The Aijia is so distressed! Thinking back, how handsome he was A child, now..." The Empress Dowager was so sad that tears fell straight down, and she was already sobbing.

The emperor also sighed several times before raising his voice: "Come here, draw up an order!"

"Yes!" Immediately, several young eunuchs came over with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

The emperor said loudly: "Xu Yuanpu is the descendant of the Queen of Zhenxi. I have been looking for it for many years, and today I am able to return to the court. I will return the title of King of Zhenxi and the palace to him. I will reward him with ten carts of jewels and white hectares of fertile land. Thank you!" "

"Grassman Li Yuanpu, thank you for your kindness." Li Er immediately saluted and shouted.

The emperor frowned, and the old eunuch Deng Ning whispered anxiously: "King Zhenxi, your surname is Xu now."

Unexpectedly, Li Er raised his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Caomin has been named Li since he was a child, not Xu. This name was given by his parents, and Caomin dare not change it."

The emperor's face became a little ugly.

Speaking of the surnames of King Zhenxi's family, that is indeed another story.It is said that the old Zhenxi Wang was not originally named Xu, but changed his surname after he recognized General Xu as his adoptive father.But later he lived among the people, married a widow named Li, and then changed his surname with that widow!Although he changed his surname back after returning to the court, his eldest son and eldest daughter still followed his wife's surname Li, and the sons of the two later had the surname Xu.

Later, when something happened to the palace, the branch surnamed Xu was wiped out, and only Li Er, the eldest son, was left. Of course, he was also surnamed Li.

However, isn't he the only one left in Zhenxi Palace now?He didn't even change his last name?And even though he was called Xu Yuanpu in the imperial decree, he still insisted that his surname was Li!

He is defying the emperor's orders openly!

The entire hall fell into a palpitating silence for an instant.

However, no matter how cold the emperor's eyes became, Li Er still held his head high and refused to bow his head.Su Ran and the children just knelt beside him foolishly as if they didn't understand anything.

After a while, Sister Xiao was young after all, and when she noticed the weird atmosphere in the room, she couldn't bear it, so she burst into tears.

When the queen mother heard this, she felt very distressed. "Forget it, the surname Li is Li. Now that they are back, they will have a few more children in the future, and then call the child Xu? Look at you, didn't you agree to compensate them? As soon as he came back, he started to shake his face, look at how you scared the child!"

As she said that, she hurriedly asked someone to bring Miss Xiao to her side.

But Sister Xiao just got tired of being around her father and refused to move.

It was Su Ran who held her hand, and she passed away whimpering.

Such a small child, crying so pitifully, the queen mother felt really distressed when she saw her, so she hugged her and coaxed her gently.

Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to compromise. "Forget it, since you insist, then you can call Li Yuanpu. But, you must give birth to a son as soon as possible, and call him Xu! The blood of Zhenxi Wang Xu's family cannot be broken!"
