The Qin family is a bit strange to Xiaoxiao.

"That was the time of the late emperor," Grandmother seemed unwilling to talk about this matter, but she had to talk about it, "The Qin family had been an official for generations. When it came to Qinzhuling, she was already the Minister of the Honglu Temple."

The Yuanlong Dynasty was a dynasty that attached great importance to diplomacy, so the Honglu Temple was an important department of this dynasty. The envoys of the Eastern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians and Western Rong, and even the Chief of the Four Barbarians, had to identify their ranks through the Honglu Temple to get the opportunity to meet.

"The officials of the Honglu Temple later, none of them could compare to the Qin family who was the old man Qin and the Qin family who was committed to diplomatic relations behind him." My grandmother changed her name at some time, and her usual peaceful tone became slightly excited at this moment: "If the Guan family was the steel-like military guarantee of this dynasty, then the Qin family could turn steel into soft fingers in the past, which was the most outstanding diplomatic family in the dynasty. There were many wars ready to go, all under the wisdom of the Qin family for generations, turning swords into jade and silk."

Xiaoxiao was also very excited: "Now you need such an excellent diplomat. Sometimes, a 3-inch tongue can match a thousand troops and a city can be captured."

Although the hope is a little slim, the Eight Banners Army, which is in its bud, may not be able to negotiate just by negotiating conditions.

"What a pity..." Grandmother's eyes were full of regret. "The Qin family's huge building has collapsed, and no one has survived."

Xiaoxiao was frightened when he heard this. Such an outstanding diplomatic clan actually... "What's the crime of the Qin family?"

"Touch the enemy country." Grandmother's tone was faint, but every word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

If you are connected to the enemy country, that is the crime of treason.

This kind of sin is a top-notch sin in any dynasty.

In this dynasty, the whole family will be killed.

"At that time, the court had a bloody storm, and the Qin family was destroyed, and several other important officials were successively demoted. It was not until the new emperor succeeded to the throne, established a new policy, and turned the tide that he had stabilized the storm."

It has only been thirteen years since the founding of the Yuanlong Dynasty, but Xiaoxiao thought that since its founding, the Yuanlong Dynasty has been singing and dancing to peace. Unexpectedly, it was on the verge of collapse of civil strife thirteen years ago, and sometimes it was more tragic than the invasion of foreign enemies.

"The late emperor was in a stupid and unremarkable life, so it would be better if he didn't mention these old things." Grandma looked at the table of delicacies that were getting colder, as if they had become historical events that were unbearable to look back on.

Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and was very glad that he came to this era: "We should be very grateful to have been born in the Qingxi Year."

"The days ahead are long, who can tell them clearly?" After all, my grandmother has experienced too much, and she has a rare and normal heart for the impermanence of the world.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the impermanence of the world that grandparents insist on letting the Tang family "make a living" and help each other at that time.

The beef pot in front of Xiaoxiao was served together with a small charcoal stove. At this moment, it was still steaming. Xiaoxiao put a bowl of beef soup for his grandmother and himself. After drinking a few sips of it, he suddenly remembered his original intention: "Who is Shunhua from the Qin family?"

"The former Minister of the Honglu Temple, Mr. Qin, was her grandfather."

"So, Shunhua is the eldest daughter of the Qin family?! But the Qin family committed a serious crime of treason back then, so how did Shunhua survive?" Xiaoxiao calculated in his mind. More than ten years ago, what age was Shunhua? She was seventeen or eighteen years old? Xiaoxiao really couldn't guess Shunhua's real age now.

"The current emperor, the third prince of the past, used a trick to deceive the world and replace Shunhua of that year with other female corpses, and was able to escape by chance."

"Female corpse?"

"Shunhua was insulted by the female prisoner and tried to hang himself. He was not angry when he was rescued. The third prince moved flowers and trees, replaced Shunhua with other female corpses, and pulled them into the grave and buried them in a burial place."

"Why did the third prince take such a risk to rescue Shunhua?"

"Because the two of them were in love with each other back then, and they were once accused of getting married by the late emperor."

It turned out that Shunhua was the fiancée of the emperor back then, and the kind who loved each other deeply. The later destruction of the Qin family made this marriage shattered.

Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered Shunhua's attitude towards the princess's marriage, that kind of contempt that is worthy of fun: "Go to marry? That's better."

No matter what princess in the dynasty is the daughter born to the priest who replaced her woman. From a selfish perspective, Shunhua may hope that these daughters and their mothers will all die.

Patriotism is even more nonsense to a woman who has been exterminated by the state.

This sense of tearing and dislocation is really a shattering feeling. First, he was exterminated, and then his own man risked his life to save his life. However, this man became the king of a country again.

Shunhua's story is really absurd, sad and heartbreaking.

They are all family members, you are living people, but I am living ghosts. No wonder she said this. To the Qin family, she is indeed a person who should have died, but she lives to this day under the protection of a man.

"Why is the emperor who is not aware of the mediation of marrying Shunhua? He is now the supreme king. Besides, Shunhua and him were accused of marrying him again." Xiaoxiao asked naively.

"The Qin family's case back then was as stern as a mountain, and it was hard to overturn the case," Grandmother shook her head helplessly, "especially, the Xirong was persuaded to surrender by Lord Qin, but soon heard that Lord Qin had been put in prison. He was deeply unfair and simply attacked him in one fell swoop. This was even more wrong and confirmed the Qin family's crime!"

If the Qin family cannot make a case, Qin Shunhua will never see each other.

"Besides, she may not be willing to sit in the back seat." Xiaoxiao speculated that in Xiaoxiao's opinion, part of Shunhua's soul had already left with the Qin family, and those who died unjustly were her close relatives.

"Our Tang family is also unlucky, but it was chosen by the third prince back then." Grandmother sighed, "Your grandfather is in a dilemma and dare not refuse to agree."

"How could we be an ordinary businessman be selected by the third prince?"

"The third prince is a very considerate person. For this reason, he searched the list of missing people about young women in Kyoto. Your third aunt was lost in the night market when she was a child, so our family naturally reported to the official position. Unexpectedly, the third prince saw that page. Perhaps the third prince also wanted to choose a wealthy family for Shunhua." Grandma sighed again, which showed that she regarded Shunhua as a hot potato. "This double-edged sword, our Tang family would rather not have the benefits than take such a big risk."

In this way, the Tang family is equivalent to a woman living in the emperor's residence, and this woman has another identity, that is, the legitimate daughter of the criminal Qin family.

"There are also benefits. The court has been taking care of our business over the years, and it has benefited from Shunhua."

There are naturally disadvantages. To accompany the king is like accompanying the tiger. The Tang family raised a woman who is on the side of the king. One day this woman is unhappy and says a few bad things about the Tang family to the emperor, and the Tang family may be overthrown.

These are nothing. The biggest worry about this matter is that the Tang family and the emperor are keeping a secret together, and Shunhua is the core of this secret and keeping a secret together with the emperor. This is not a good thing of mutual trust. It is simply walking forward with gold, silver and jewelry on the back!

Xiaoxiao was in a bad mood. The Tang family knew that this was a □□, but they didn’t dare to throw it away. If they were to throw it away, they would die faster!

"Who knows this in our family?"

"We three."

"Grandfather, grandmother, and me?" Xiaoxiao's heart was pounding when he heard this. Didn't even my father know about this?

"Others think that is our third aunt. Because she has married someone, she calls her aunt. This aunt is strange by nature and has strange physical diseases, so she has to go out for secret treatment every time she has time to go out for a while."

"But why is this lady so rich? Don't they doubt it?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Not to mention the other side, the pomp of the golden-topped sedan and the team with its own musical instruments is enough to attract doubt.

"I once married a rich man and got a big inheritance." Grandmother downplayed.

In fact, this scam is not too clever, but everyone in the Tang family believed it. Maybe everyone is like Xiaoxiao and dare not ask more questions; or maybe everyone heard that they have a strange disease, so they simply avoided it and refused to ask more questions.

"What should my father say if my granddaughter is accompanying Shunhua today?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"It's not uncommon to say that it's an old lady, and the royal family will have a mysterious figure living in seclusion from time to time. As for your father, your grandfather plans to explain it to him, and someone must know the descendants of the Tang family."

There is one more person who keeps the secret for the emperor.

"Luckily, Shunhua doesn't like socializing. We are always far away from her, but she doesn't dare to neglect her daily life. If something happens to our house..." Grandma seemed unwilling to say anything, so she stood up and walked to the window, opened the window and said loudly: "Remove the table, put the noodles below, cook two bowls of beef noodles."

There was a distance outside: "Yes, old lady."

Xiaoxiao's bowl of noodles was mixed and she scooped a spoonful of peanuts and put them into her grandmother's bowl: "The granddaughter will keep a proper distance from Shunhua, not too far or too close."

Even if the emperor no longer cares about Shunhua and even forgets his former lover, he will never forget the secret kept by the Tang family.

"If our Tang family had another meaning in the eyes of the emperor, perhaps this matter would be diluted." Xiaoxiao expressed his opinion, "For example, our Tang family grasped the lifeline of the economy, thereby promoting the development of the business of the Yuanlong Dynasty, allowing the emperor to look at us differently, and even making him unable to live without our Tang family."

Grandma made up her mind: "Not that simple."

"This time my father reappeared the ten kinds of brocades of Shu Kingdom, and the emperor was very satisfied. If our Tang family could often bring such surprises to the emperor, how could he be willing to give up the Tang family?" Xiaoxiao was more willing to think about things better.

"The Tang family's big house and the second house are both married to officials and businessmen. The emperor also sent congratulatory gifts through Shunhua, which shows that he had never thought about isolating the Tang family." Grandmother also said, "Our Tang family has always been doing business in full swing. What's going on in the end depends on the fate of this family."

The grandparents and grandson ate beef noodles silently for a while, and suddenly said, "Third Prince? Isn't the prince the emperor back then?"

"Not." Grandma seemed reluctant to talk about the past.

It is really hard to imagine the palace coup from that time. Shunhua's distance from the palace may be another kind of luck for him.
