Bai Xianyu smiled faintly.

"But why did the Imperial Master appear here?" Aunt Jiang's courtyard is very simple, and she lives alone. The entire courtyard is decorated in the same way as the inner palace, and is much smaller than the house where the master lives.

"I came to the imperial mausoleum to pray for blessings, but it's not yet time to formally pray. I have heard for a long time that the late emperor was kind and virtuous. The two had a deep love for each other and were a model of loving couples. I have never heard that there are people in the imperial mausoleum who served the late emperor.

The old people came one after another, and they happened to have nothing to do, so they came looking for someone to chat with."

Aunt Jiang did not doubt that he was there. She smiled and invited Bai Xianyu to come in and sit down. "The Imperial Master has asked the right person. Back then, Your Majesty... No, look at me, I'm old and confused. Back then, I was serving the late Emperor's pen and ink.

Because she saw how smart I was, she asked me to serve her. Since then, thanks to her care, I have stayed by her side for more than ten years."

Bai Xianyu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, "Mr. Jiang is so awesome."

"The Imperial Master has punished my slave. I have been sent to the palace since I was a child. I am sorry to say that I have already regarded the palace as my home. I have treated me like my sister. I am also grateful for his kindness. I have been to the late Emperor successively.

After he passed away, he asked himself to guard the imperial mausoleum, and he did so for decades."

Decades are not a long time, and there are so many decades in life. But when Grandma Jiang mentioned it, she still smiled. It can be seen that she did live an unforgettable time in the palace.

, I still miss him with tenderness.

What he said to Aunt Jiang was mixed between true and false. Bai Xianyu also grew up listening to the stories of the late emperor and the two men since he was a child. But I heard that Mr. Shu always used the same rhetoric, and the real secrets of the palace were unknown to outsiders.

She didn't know, but now that she met someone who knew the real inside story, she couldn't help but become a little interested.

Bai Xianyu crossed his legs and raised his lips and said, "Mommy is also a very affectionate person. I think if I have a spirit in heaven, I will feel very happy."

Aunt Jiang smiled heartily and said, "I don't know how long it has been since anyone came here. If the Imperial Master is tired or bored while praying, you might as well come here to rest and talk to me."

At her current age, she has become more and more lonely. After all, the palace concubine living here is the master. The master she used to serve was the queen. The other palace concubines also have their own servants to serve them, and she is the only one living here alone.

this.

"What does the Imperial Master want to know? Why don't you tell me?" Aunt Jiang was busy. Although the room was simple, it was very clean. After a while, two cups of tea were served.

Bai Xianyu reached out to take the teacup and shook it lightly, "Isn't the relationship between Princess Jing'an and His Majesty the current one very good?"

Aunt Jiang seemed not to have expected that he would ask this, as a recalling expression appeared on her face, "Princess Jing'an..."

She seemed to have thought of something interesting and laughed out loud, "At that time, she was still Princess Jing'an. Speaking of which, Princess Jing'an was the first and only princess of the late emperor and the emperor. On the night she was born, the emperor and the emperor were both present.

After staying in the palace for a night, she was given the title as soon as she was born. Later, the late emperor couldn't put it down and kept her by his side. He wanted to take Princess Jing'an back to the palace one after another, but the late emperor still lied..."

Bai Xianyu listened quietly, as if he had also seen the childhood of Princess Jing'an.

"The current Holy Emperor was still the eldest prince at that time. The eldest prince and Princess Jing'an were about the same age. When he was a child, he looked much younger than Princess Jing'an. He looked like a premature baby. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that Princess Jing'an was the imperial sister."

"The eldest prince..." The young man suddenly paused, "Speaking of which, did the late emperor never establish a prince?"

The empress's son is not a prince at birth, but also needs to be canonized by the emperor. Since ancient times, the emperor's eldest son has been established as a prince, but Emperor Wu Xuan did not do so, which also caused a huge turmoil in the court.

"Yes, but the situation is different. The late emperor was busy with government affairs earlier, and there was only one concubine and one concubine in the harem, with few heirs. Although the eldest prince does not have the title of prince, everyone has acquiesced in it."

Bai Xianyu thought thoughtfully, "What did the late emperor think of Emperor Wu Xuan?"

"The late emperor loved Emperor Wu Xuan very much, even more than the first and the last. It's fair to say that they are fair." Aunt Jiang smiled and said: "The first emperor seemed to favor Emperor Wu Xuan more, and the first and last favored Princess Jing'an more. In the past, Jing'an

The princess was also quite jealous. Although Emperor Wu Xuan was weak at that time, he always gave in to his sister. Although Princess Jing'an was willful, she would still protect Emperor Wu Xuan at critical moments. They have a very good relationship."

The relationship is very good...

In fact, we can get a glimpse of it from the current attitude of Emperor Wu Xuan towards Princess Jing'an.

"Just like an ordinary people's home."

Bai Xianyu took a sip of tea, and a cool feeling passed down his throat, "Does Grandma Jiang know about the Yingluo Orb?"

"Of course I know."

"certainly?"

"Yes, that is my favorite flower." She smiled. "I like to play with flowers and plants. There are many flowers and plants planted in the palace, but my favorite is the Yingluo Pearl."

Bai Xianyu frowned, her guess was indeed correct, this Yingluo Orb was related to the succession, but why did Emperor Wu Xuan avoid this kind of flower like a snake and a scorpion now?

Something must have happened.

"You just said that the late emperor liked Emperor Wu Xuan more. What about Xianlian? Why didn't he like him that much?"

Aunt Jiang smiled and shook her head, "They say parents are impartial, but in fact only they know it in their hearts... But they are all the same flesh and blood, no matter how partial they are, it may not be the case when Princess Jing'an was a child.

After raising her for too long, I think I became more fond of Princess Jing'an one after another. Although I didn't say it with my words, my eyes can't deceive others."

Bai Xianyu smiled meaningfully.

She is lying.

If Emperor Wu Xuan and his wife were really so kind and filial to each other, then at the Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival, Li Changning only mentioned a pearl, and was deprived of the title of princess by Emperor Wu Xuan, and even demoted An Guifei. Could it be that he was missed?

Mother?

This doesn't look like it.

Such an attitude seemed like there had been some grudge in the past. Although it was a bit harsh to use this word between mother and son, Emperor Wu Xuan did indeed behave like this.

"What is the Imperial Master thinking about?" Seeing his silence, Grandma Jiang stopped.

The boy's lips were red and his teeth were white, and he looked very harmless. "I didn't think about anything. I just thought of one more thing that I forgot to deal with. I have to go back now. If I have time, I can come back to bother you again."

"Feel free to come, feel free to come." The woman sitting opposite him said with a smile, "The Imperial Master is still too polite."

Bai Xianyu smiled and took one last look at the furnishings in Aunt Jiang's room.

No matter what the purpose of her lies, one thing is certain.

Aunt Jiang really respected Xianxian very much, otherwise she would not have stayed here for so many years.

So what she said was probably to protect Xian Lian's interests, or the people Xian Lian cared about.

Bai Xianyu thought to himself, is it Princess Jing'an?
