Chapter 133
"Before the king ascended the throne, he had an original wife, Dai, but not long after they got married, the war broke out. The king fought with the army, fought everywhere, and served under the emperor of the Central Plains for a period of time. Until the end of the war, Datong After the establishment, he did not get together with Mrs. Dai for a few days, and Mrs. Dai passed away. Therefore, the king appointed the current Queen Wu." Ma Qinge recalled what her father Ma Chuo had said to her.

Xu Jiatong didn't know much about this past, and didn't even know Dai's existence.She only knows that although Datong is a vassal state and obeys the orders of the Central Plains Dynasty, it occupies the rich and prosperous Jiangnan, which is even richer than the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is self-contained.

Even the titles in the palace are different, just like the daughter of the Central Plains Emperor's daughter is a princess, and the daughter of the King of Datong should be the county head, but she is actually called a princess.

And the concubine of the king should not have four concubines such as Guifei, Shufei, Xianfei, and Defei, but Datong also has them.

Such irregularities are a symbol of Datong's status.Even the luxurious system of the Phoenix Palace has greatly exceeded the norms that should have been, and the Central Plains Dynasty just turned a blind eye.

However, Zhao Yu, the king of Datong, is not the master who puts his nose on the nose. In front of the special envoys sent by the Central Plains Dynasty over the years, the etiquette and rules that should be there are not lost at all. How did you interfere.

"The king's original wife's surname is Dai? Now the Dai clan doesn't do much, but they stayed in their hometown back then? Is Master Dai related to the Dai clan?" Xu Jiatong asked.

Dai Yuanguan's rise was very abrupt, and after he succeeded, he was able to secure the title of the richest man in the world with only his weak body, so he had to suspect that he had other backers.

Ma Qinge shook her head lightly, and said regretfully: "I don't know about this, I only know that the king and Mrs. Dai are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship, but Mrs. Dai has no heirs, and the princes of the current king are all born by the concubine. There is no official in the Dai clan. When Dai Yuanguan first showed his talents, some people speculated that he was a descendant of the Dai clan, but there is no definite evidence for this."

There is no evidence, but no one denies this, especially after Dai Yuanguan became famous, no one came out to refute the rumors, which is particularly suspicious.

Xu Jiatong felt that he had misunderstood his words, and hurriedly said, "What happened 15 years ago?"

Ma Qinge also reacted, and continued: "When the king was fighting, it was not the current Queen Wu who served by his side, and all the rules and decency were thrown aside during the war. What's more, Queen Wu was not a queen at that time. The eldest son and second son That is to say, it crawled out from the belly of another concubine. Fifteen years ago, Queen Wu finally gave birth to a prince, Xing Qi, who is the current Sheng Wang Zhao Yuanshen."

"The current King Xiang is also born of Queen Wu. Since he and King Sheng are born of the same mother, why are they at odds?" Xu Jiatong had never inquired about King Sheng before.

Ma Qinge sighed: "This also has its origins. When Datong was first established, not all places stopped fighting, and the king still often sent his own troops to conquer. His Royal Highness Sheng Wang was less than three years old, and the king brought him here. In this way, year after year passed, and King Sheng was even given to the enemy country as a hostage by the king. When he returned, he was already 12 years old. When he was two years old, Queen Wu gave birth to The twelve princes, King Xiang, and King Xiang stayed with Queen Wu and grew up in the palace. The two of them naturally think and do things differently, and they will naturally drift apart as time goes by."

"Queen Wu saw their quarrel, she was in a dilemma, or...supported one of them." Xu Jiatong felt that Queen Wu should favor King Xiang.

This is the closest relative who has always been raised by his side, King Xiang is the youngest son, and now in Datong, King Xiang's reputation is even better, so it is natural that Queen Wu loves him more.

"You've already thought of it, and you still ask me? Queen Wu is naturally partial to King Xiang, especially...you don't want to tell others this." Ma Qinge lowered her voice.

Xu Jiatong nodded: "Sister, don't worry, if you leave this door, you will forget a lot of things you said."

"My mother once told me that Queen Wu and the king are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface. The king raised King Sheng by himself and raised him. He has been tempered more by him."

Keeping Sheng Wang Zhao Yuanshen by his side is also because he is afraid that he will be influenced by Queen Wu.Then when raising him, it is inevitable to give him a lot of influence, making him different from Queen Wu.

"But it's meaningless for Queen Wu to do this. King Sheng is the eldest son, and he was favored by the king and raised him personally. He was a proton and sacrificed his life for the country. His status is hard to shake." Xu Jiatong said.

The implication is that even though Queen Wu doesn't like King Sheng, she still has to respect him. After all, if there is no accident, he will be the son of the future, even the king.

"This is where the strangeness lies. After King Sheng returned, Queen Wu accompanied the king to greet her. She was expecting it wholeheartedly, but when she saw him, she said that King Sheng was not King Sheng or his son. The most important ministers are all witnesses, and the king is also a witness. If King Sheng is not King Sheng, who would he be? Queen Wu also felt that it was probably because they had been separated for too long. , so she took back what she said before. But after that, her love for Sheng Wang was far worse than the love she had for her son before they met." Ma Qinge was also puzzled by this past incident.

"His Highness Prince Sheng has been with the army for more than ten years, has Queen Wu met him? Even if he hasn't met, they should pass the letter, right?" Xu Jiatong didn't understand how this misunderstanding came about.

Ma Qinge said: "I also asked my father. My father said that he didn't know about Sheng Wang when he was a child, but he didn't have it during the two years when he was a proton."

"I haven't seen him for so many years, and I haven't heard much. Queen Wu should have thought that when we met, she hardly knew her son, so why would she be so surprised?" Xu Jiatong felt that there must be something else wrong.

Maybe Queen Wu was really too surprised by the changes in her son at that time, so she spoke out.

But since she had accepted the fact later, why didn't she correct this mistake and make up for the long-lost mother-child relationship?
"Maybe it's because I miss you too much, but because I'm close to my hometown. I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, just remember not to get involved. Mr. Dai is from King Sheng's faction, and he has done a lot for King Sheng." Ma Qinge Let's get down to business.

"If Master Dai is really from the Dai clan, he must be someone trusted by the king. It is only natural for him to stand by the side of King Sheng. But don't worry, I will only help Master Dai with the affairs of the Jinxiu Workshop, and will not participate in other matters." Many." Xu Jiatong assured.

Although she knew that she would never just focus on the affairs of Jinxiufang, and that Dai Yuanguan would definitely let her participate more, she still promised so.

Ma Qinge has already helped so much, she can't drag her down anymore.

"In this way, my third sister Xu Jialan is actually two years older than His Royal Highness King Xiang?" Xu Jiatong silently calculated in his heart, and was silently startled.

Xu Jiatong originally thought that both Sheng Wang and Xiang Wang were much older than her and Xu Jialan.

Unexpectedly, King Sheng is the same age as him, and King Xiang is even younger. At this age, he should not walk much outside the palace, so how did Xu Jialan get on with him...
