Chapter 186
"Your mother's home is not as good as you see on the surface. The old Hou Ye is still guarding the frontier, and he can't easily return to the dynasty. But do you know that there is only one son and daughter under your grandfather."

"The daughter is your mother. She married me, a little-known kid, for the safety of your mother."

"There are only two men in the Hou Mansion, one is your uncle and the other is your elder brother."

"What?" Ji Qingyue was shocked: "Father, big brother... isn't big brother my real big brother?"

Now that he has already started talking about this matter, Ji Chenyuan doesn't want to hide it from Ji Qingyue anymore. Instead of letting his daughter guess about some things, it's better to let her know all the truth, so that she won't be deceived or hurt. .

"Your elder brother is your uncle's son, that is, your cousin. The situation in the Hou Mansion is special. In order to preserve the blood of the Bai family, the old Hou Ye was brought back by your mother and me after he was born. In my eyes, the son of the Hou family was lost and was not found, and the old Hou was heartbroken and took his family to the frontier, but he has not returned yet."

"Father, grandpa wants to do this? Even if he has a title, he shouldn't be so afraid." Ji Qingyue was a little puzzled. The fact that her elder brother was not her own elder brother had already shocked her. , can only make a wise and safe move.

Does anyone want to target grandpa?

She is the most defensive, she only wants to know the situation of her grandfather's family, and when she has the strength, she must help them.

"Your maternal ancestor's family is regarded as a relative of the emperor, and has a blood relationship with the Taizu."

"But now the power in the capital is complicated, and he has [-] troops in his hands. Even if he has made many military exploits before, and now there is no major war, the one above is not happy with his power."

"However, your grandfather married your mother to me, and your uncle did not regenerate. In addition to the missing son, the entire Marquis Mansion has no heirs. In this case, the safety of your grandfather's family is guaranteed. .”

"Now they are living well in the frontier, and there is no need to worry about their lives."

"However, in my opinion, this situation can't last long. The emperor will definitely call him back. A Marquis Mansion without an heir is nothing to fear even if it has military power in its hands."

"But in today's court, the dispute between the two factions is becoming more and more obvious. The old Hou Ye has a higher position and can restrain those people."

"As for your father and me, we are considered to be a forgotten messenger sent by the emperor to help him collect information. It is not an important position, but if we want to keep you, there is no problem, it's just a little difficult."

"Ninny, if you want to go back, father can submit a memorial to go back at any time, and father has the opportunity to transfer back." What Ji Chenyuan didn't say was that he was deeply loved by the emperor at that time, and it can be said that after a few more years of development, he might be able to become everyone's favorite. A powerful minister who dares to ignore.

But in order to marry the Bai family, he voluntarily gave up entering the Privy Council and reached an agreement with the emperor to let him be his outer pair of eyes.

In recent years, the emperor has been well-informed, and he has suffered less grievances in the court, and there is no need to doubt whether the military situation said by the other party is true. With Ji Chenyuan's clairvoyance, the central power has been extremely concentrated.

But the emperor likes to balance, and deliberately disperses power. He pinches the lifelines of the courtiers and watches the courtiers below fight. As long as he can achieve his goal, no matter what these courtiers do, he can tolerate them.

"Father, we can't be in a hurry." Ji Qingyue frowned slightly, and said very cautiously: "If you say that the situation of the grandfather's family has not yet been determined, his identity is there, and unless he surrenders his military power, he will always be there. dangerous."

"But if he surrenders his military power, he will no longer have any support, which means that he has no ability to protect himself at all."

"If you want to change the emperor's view, you need to let your grandfather become his reliance. Only in this way, the emperor can't easily do things against your grandfather."

"Father, you haven't been back to the capital for many years. Although you know some news, it's not complete. We can't act rashly."

"Let's make money first, and wait for the big brother's imperial examination. You should always pay attention to the situation with your grandfather."

"If I can contact them first, I can send him herbs." Ji Qingyue didn't think that going back to the capital would lead to a better life. On the contrary, life in the village was better than she imagined.

It's just that she needs to face a lot of things. After hearing about the situation of her grandfather's family, she can't stop wanting to grow up quickly. She doesn't want to be powerless in the future because of not working hard now.

"Well, baby girl, you're pretty much what I think. I know you're smart, so you don't need to worry about these things, just do what you like to do now."

"Daddy is going to deal with those things. In the past, Old Hou just wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems that the more you keep a low profile, the more opportunities you lose. I still have some things to do."

"Ninny, Dad may have to go out for a while, can you protect yourself at home?" Ji Chenyuan was a little bit reluctant, but now that he has talked about returning to the capital, many things have to be arranged.

Ji Qingyue was a little shocked, and anxiously took his hand: "Father, where are you going? Is it dangerous? How long are you going?"

She even asked a few questions, feeling a little at a loss. She had been at home for so long, and she never thought that Ji Chenyuan would leave. The reason why she dared to do anything was because of Ji Chenyuan's pampering and help.

Once Ji Chenyuan left, there was really no relatives in the family except younger siblings.

Especially the elders, she was a little flustered for a while, and she was more worried about Ji Chenyuan's safety.

"Father, can you not go?" Ji Qingyue held his hand, full of dependence, no matter how independent she was, she couldn't do without the sense of security Ji Chenyuan gave her.

Handsome dad always supports her no matter what she does, Ji Qingyue can't imagine what life will be like after Ji Chenyuan left, she is always a person who attaches great importance to emotions.

Ji Chenyuan stretched out his hand and rubbed her head: "Ninny, don't worry, dad will only go for half a month, and I will leave after the new year. I need to do some things, there is no danger."

"No one but the emperor wants my life. Besides, if the emperor really wants my life, even if I don't go out, I can't hide. So, don't worry, I'm really doing something It's just a matter."

"Father, are you really not in danger?" Ji Qingyue asked worriedly.

Ji Chenyuan snorted deliberately: "Don't you believe in Daddy's strength?"

"Is Daddy so weak in my daughter's mind? It seems that I need to exercise, and I will be the first wherever I go in the future, to protect my daughter and prevent you from any harm."

"Father." Ji Qingyue acted like a baby helplessly, seeing Ji Chenyuan's confident look, and confirmed that he must leave, she slowly accepted this fact.
