. Bu Yi felt awe-inspiring when he heard Queen Xiao’s question. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that he was rough, but he was fine, and he was not a rough person at all. When Queen Xiao reminded him, he felt that Xiao Dapeng’s face was indeed injured, and there were still many. If he said it was ugly, it was because his injuries improved and there were scars. As for the beard, he rarely saw him repair it since he saw this father.

"My father is a rough man and has no brides because he does heavy work and there are some scars on his face." Xiao Buyi hesitated a little.

The uncle thought that what kind of work should be done with his face? This boy was ambiguous and vague, which made people unable to tell the truth. He was eager to find Xiao Dapeng at first, but then he lost his normalcy. After he regained his rationality, he felt that Xiao Buyi's current attitude seemed to want to pretend to be a royal relative, which made him be cautious.

Yuan Lan said in surprise: "Empress, I heard that when you were a child, you had a cousin named Xiao Dapeng?"

He was very surprised, but Xiao Buyi had already decided that Yuan Lan was doing a show. When he went out to the frontier, Yuan Lan gave Yuan Qiaoxi's Geng letter to Xiao Buyi, he regarded himself as his father-in-law and almost asked about Xiao Buyi's ancestors for the eighth generation. Xiao Buyi said his father's name because Xiao Dapeng and Yuan Lan had no intersection at all. Yuan Lan was so surprised now that of course he was pretending. It turned out that he had already known that the Empress had a cousin named Xiao Dapeng. He tried every means to find himself in the palace and talked about his heroic deeds like gossip, just hoped that he could get some kinship with the Empress and take a path of development.

Queen Xiao nodded, "Indeed, when I was young, I had a cousin named Xiao Dapeng, but I was separated and kept searching for it, but I had nowhere to go."

Xiao Buyi bowed and said, "Empress, I believe Xiao Dapeng and his father are not alone."

"How can I explain this?" Queen Xiao was a little surprised, "Have your father told you what happened in the past?"

Xiao Buyi and Xiao Dapeng have been together for less than a year. I am afraid he is confused and worried. So I didn’t ask many things. When I heard Queen Xiao ask, I could only shake my head and say, “My father is taciturn and has never told me about the past.”

Queen Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Then how do you judge that Xiao Dapeng I mentioned is not your father? Sometimes, the name is a duplicate, but after my cousin and I have been separated for many years, there is a lot of changes."

The uncle did not believe that it was so clever. Xiao Buyi's father was Xiao Dapeng who knew Xiao, but when he heard what Empress Xiao said, he hesitated. Xiao Buyi stood up and bowed: "Empress, first of all, my father is a rough man, how could he know the queen's body of a thousand gold? Secondly, although the Queen is in the deep palace and is promiscuous, I believe that there are not many people who know the Queen's real name and background. If my father really knew the Queen and knew the Queen's miss, how could he still stayed at Gu Han and not recognize the royal relatives?"

Queen Xiao shook her head and said, "What you said seems to make sense. But there must be many things you don't know." She suddenly sighed quietly, full of helplessness, "Although my cousin is very good to me, if she knew that I became the queen, she would not recognize each other."

Xiao Buyi was stunned, "How can the Empress explain this?"

Queen Xiao waved her hand and said, "Buyi, sit down and talk first." Her tone was gentle, as if she treated Xiao Buyi as a relative, "Brother, sit down, too."

The uncle nodded and turned his seat. Queen Xiao felt sad in her tone, "Bu Yi, what did you say that your father is a rough man, how could he know me like a body of gold? This sentence actually has a big problem. You said that there are many people who know my background. I don't think you know it. Do you know my name?"

Xiao Buyi was a little ashamed, "Buyi really doesn't know. There is something wrong with what she said just now. Please don't be surprised by the Queen."

Empress Xiao smiled and said, "You child, being cautious is a good thing, but you are too cautious. No matter whether you are royal relatives or not, with Brother Yuan here, I heard that he intends to betroth your daughter to you, so why would I blame you?"

Xiao Buyi was sweating a little, but he didn't expect that Yuan Lan was so close to the queen, so he was just right.

She also called Brother Yuan, and Yuan Lan bowed and said, "Empress, now you are a body of gold. Why do you say that Brother Yuan can't afford it?"

"There are no outsiders here, it's okay." Queen Xiao said gratefully: "Some people will help me, and I will never forget it in my life. Brother Yuan, if I had to be you back then, I would have died long ago. How could I have the glory of today? But you have never taken credit, which has moved me even more."

Yuan Lan smiled and said, "The Empress and Mother of the World. Even if I don't have me, I must have helped me. I was just a simple task."

Queen Xiao shook her head, but said nothing more. She looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "Buyi, I am not a body of gold, but I am also an ordinary person. Whether I have a good fate or not, it is hard for ordinary people to imagine..."

She took the initiative to tell Xiao Buyi about her private affairs, on the one hand, because she trusted Yuan Lan and loved the house. On the other hand, she also felt that Xiao Buyi made her feel friendly. Otherwise, after chanting the poem "Snow" in the beginning, she would not have smiled to relieve Xiao Buyi.

"I was born in February. Jiangnan customs say that children in February are all ill-fated and will also affect their parents." Empress Xiao said softly, as if she was talking to herself, "So as soon as I was born, I was given to my distant relatives. At that time, I met my cousin Xiao Dapeng..."

Xiao Buyi was ridiculous and felt sad for Queen Xiao’s parents. Her parents just because of superstition and fear of being implicated, so they had to send their daughter away. Could it be that all the gentry are so tough? Queen Xiao is gentle and thought she was like this in nature, but she did not expect that she was born with a acquired hardship.

"Although my adoptive parents' family is poor, they are very nice to me." Queen Xiao whispered: "My cousin regards me as her biological sister. She never lets others bully me. She always beat me up and she is bleeding. My cousin's love for me will never be forgotten in my life..."

"After an accident happened, there was a fire at home, and my adoptive parents died. My cousin burned me hard to save me. Later, it dispersed and never met again." Queen Xiao seemed to be reminiscing and regretful, and came to her senses and asked: "

Where is your mother?"

"I, I have no impression of my mother." Xiao Buyi said. He heard the queen say it simply, but the content is definitely not simple. There was a fire in the house. Both adoptive parents died. The queen and her cousin Xiao Dapeng were separated. There must be something bizarre about this, but the queen didn't want to say it, and no one dared to force her to say it.

"Oh?" Queen Xiao was a little disappointed and said a little bit: "I'm confused. I don't know about your affairs. When my cousin and I were separated, he was underage."

"Empress!" The uncle called out, reminding her not to reveal too many things. Queen Xiao asked persistently, "Who is your father around you recently? I remember he had a partner at the beginning..."

Xiao Buyi's heart moved, "My father farmed for a living, and there were a few friends around him, one of whom was Xue Buren, and some of whom was..."

Before he could finish speaking, Empress Xiao stood up suddenly. Luo Ding whistled and said excitedly: "What did you say? His name is Xue Buren?"

Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "Yes, Queen. What's wrong?"

The uncle was also excited and asked anxiously, "Who is unkind, but unkind and unrighteous?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head and told the truth, "No, how could anyone call the name of Buyi Dibu, which is Buyi Dibu, benevolent and righteous. My father said that since childhood, some people said that his wife's kindness was, but when he read too much, he became Buren. He seemed to be an orphan."

He denied what the uncle said, only thought that the uncle would be disappointed. Unexpectedly, the uncle laughed and actually came over to hug him, and said happily: "That's right, your father Xiao Dapeng must be the Empress's cousin."

Empress Xiao also stood up, not moving for a long time, but her body trembled slightly. She thought that she was quite excited, but Yuan Lan looked very happy. He was so scheming and knew that if Xiao Buyi wanted to develop, it would be impossible to go on the right path for a while, so she wanted to go to another way. He knew that Xiao Buyi's father was named Xiao Dapeng, and also knew that Empress Xiao's disbanded cousin was also named Xiao Dapeng, so she came to make a relationship. She thought that even if she was not a relative, it would be no problem to ask for an official for Xiao Buyi with the thanks from Empress Xiao. He didn't want to find a local official for Xiao Buyi, but what he didn't expect was that things were so coincidental that Xiao Buyi was really a royal relative!

Looking at Xiao Buyi's surprise, the uncle of the country explained: "Just now, I was afraid that others would mistakenly recognize him, so I said that he was unkind and unrighteous. If he pretended to recognize his relatives, I think he would agree with him. Only those who truly recognized his relatives would refute what I said. I only believe that Buyi, you know nothing about the past, but your father concealed some things. Buyi, he really had good intentions, probably because he wanted you to be an ordinary citizen. But a man in a civilian had great talents, so he would not be called a civilian.

Queen Xiao also walked down slowly and said excitedly: "Yes, the kindness of the woman, that's what I told Xue Lao Er. He is an orphan and has been at his cousin's house since he was a child. Later, it was changed to Bu Ren. If it weren't for his son, how could he know this allusion? Bu Yi, if I count it like this, I would call you a nephew."

Queen Xiao walked to Xiao Buyi and slowly grabbed his hands, and tears filled his eyes, "Buyi, do you know that I have been thinking about where my cousin went. Since the fire and I were separated from him, I have been raised by my uncle. Although I have been separated for many years, I have never forgotten his childhood help!"

Queen Xiao is not pretentious, but true feelings are revealed. This time, the uncle did not stop him, but just stepped aside, looked a little disgusted, and said a few words to Yuan Lan in a low voice. Yuan Lan also looked sighing, but her eyes were a little joyful.

Xiao Buyi was stunned at this time. He never thought that he had a background from a counterfeit village. Questions came up in an instant. If his father was the queen's cousin, why didn't he recognize his relatives? Was the incident of the fire accident accident accident or was it deliberately done by someone? But after Xiao Huang Benpiao's Astronomy www.piaotian.com.c'n, he decided that he was her nephew based on his two names. It would be a bit too arbitrary?

But this scene is really unreasonable without saying a few words. Xiao Buyi’s surprised expression this time was not pretending, “Isn’t the Queen the Queen my aunt? I am just a commoner. How dare I climb up?"

Queen Xiao laughed, but tears burst out, "Silly child, what's the point of not being able to do this? I was in your house back then, but I didn't see my cousin laughing or dislike him! My cousin suffered all the hardships for me. I am just afraid that his literary talent will be abandoned long ago. Fortunately, he cultivated you. Buyi, you are both civil and military, and you are famous for your servants. It's not in vain that cousin's literary talent and ambition back then. But over the years, you have suffered."

She wanted to cry again when she said this, but her uncle walked over with a smile, "Sister. You found out today that you were in the place of your cousin. It was a big joy. Why are you always so sad?"

Queen Xiao smiled and said, "It's been decades, but I didn't expect to find my cousin's whereabouts. Buyi, your father is okay now, right?"

Looking at Queen Xiao’s somewhat nervous look, Xiao Buyi knew that she was really concerned about Xiao Dapeng, and suppressed her question and said, “He is in his prime, but it’s okay. But he has been silent for a long time, so I don’t dare to ask him. He has farmed for many years and lives for farming. He lives far from the east. Now that the road is blocked with heavy snow, it’s not easy to come.”

"Oh?" Queen Xiao's eyes were a little disappointed and murmured: "It's a problem to block the road with heavy snow. I'm just afraid he doesn't want to see me."

Xiao Buyi couldn't ask too much. It was just like a dull man. Queen Xiao said with relief: "No matter whether your cousin wants to see me or not, Buyi, you have grown up and become a human being. You are able to take on a great responsibility, and finally made the Xiao family proud. I don't think people will look down on you in the future. Being a proofreader is really a bit insignificant. I'll see if you can talk to the emperor..."

Before she finished speaking, a palace servant hurried over and said, "Report to the Empress, the Guardian Shaoqing Li Yuan, who asked for a meeting."

Queen Xiao was stunned for a moment, "What did he ask me for?" The palace servant looked a little embarrassed. Queen Xiao was in a good mood and waved her hand and said, "Is he only one person coming in?"

"With the Wei Wei Shaoqing, there are Li Shimin and Qianniu prepared Chai Shao. Li Yuan was afraid that the queen would not like many people, so he just asked him to see him." The palace servant returned.

"Let them come in together."

He smiled and waved his hand, "I haven't seen Shimin for a long time. Did Xuanba?"

"Go back to Empress, no." The palace man shook his head and said.

Queen Xiao nodded and stopped talking. She smiled and took Xiao Buyi's hand and sat down and said, "Buyi, sit down. Li Yuan is not bad, you can talk."

Xiao Buyi was ridiculous and cried, and did not expect that the great Emperor Gaozu was just a good person in Queen Xiao’s mouth, so he could talk about it. From this point of view, although Queen Xiao was arrogant, there was no one intimate to relieve his worries.

When Xiao Buyi heard the words "Li Shimin", he was shocked and thought that Li Shimin had finally appeared. However, Li Shimin now should not be considered old. I wonder if he was restrained or a young man.

Looking out of the hall with expectant eyes, he saw that Li Yuan was the wrinkled face. The two boys behind him were as elegant as they were. Chai Shao and Xiao Buyi knew each other, but the other boy did not let him go, but he had a hint of courage compared to Chai Shao's light fur and slow belt.

When Li Yuan and the other two were all surprised when they saw Xiao Buyi sitting next to Empress Xiao, Xiao Buyi was just a proofreader, how could she have such honor to sit next to the Empress? But Li Yuan knew the way to be a minister and didn't want to ask more questions. When Li Shimin saw Xiao Buyi, he just looked at him and couldn't help but look at him for a few more times. When he saw Xiao Buyi smiling at him, he didn't understand his intentions. He only felt that he was full of kindness and smiled.

Li Yuan was about to kneel down and salute, but Empress Xiao waved her hand and said, "The Li Qing family doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down."

Li Yuan said that he was a big boss. It was a courteous manner to show his tribute to Empress Xiao, but he and the emperor were cousins, so it was a bit awkward to kneel down to the queen. When he heard this, he would just say thank you and give a deep gift.

Empress Xiao smiled and gave the seat, which surprised Li Yuan a little. He just wanted to tell what he wanted while the queen was in a good mood, but when she saw Yuan Lan and Xiao Buyi were there, she was difficult to speak for a while.

Yuan Lan had long seen Li Yuan’s embarrassment. Of course, his businessman understood the power and stood up early and said, “Queen, I have been here for a long time, now…”

Queen Xiao waved her hand and glanced at Xiao Buyi, "You go and rest with Buyi first, and I will have something to do with you later."

Yuan Lan knew that she would not have anything important, but just wanted to talk to Xiao Buyi. His purpose was unexpectedly smooth, but he was satisfied.

The palace maid took Xiao Buyi and Yuan Lan out to rest, but Li Yuan was still calm. When Queen Xiao looked over, she said: "Empress, it's cold recently. Xuanba's health has been missing day by day. He has not come to pay tribute to the Empress. Please forgive me."

Although he was forgiven for his crime, his eyes flashed. Queen Xiao asked with some concern: "If you don't come, don't come. What's the point? Xuanba has been sick for many years, and the imperial doctor is helpless and doesn't know what to do."

Li Yuan coughed softly. "The weather is cold, and the old minister occasionally gets cold. I ask the Empress to take care of the phoenix body." He said a few words, just thinking about how to start. Empress Xiao had already seen his meaning and smiled and said, "Li Qing family, Shimin Xuanba and I were both in love with each other at first sight, and saw them grow up. Although you are a minister and I am the queen, this private friendship is clear. If you have something to do, you might as well just say it. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Before Li Yuan could speak, Li Shimin had already stepped forward and knelt on the ground, his eyes were already red. He cried and said, "I would like to ask the Queen to save Gao Shilian's life."

Empress Xiao was slightly stunned, "What's wrong with Gao Shilian? Shimin, get up and talk."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I would like to ask the Empress to agree to Shimin's request, otherwise Shimin..."

"Shimin, don't be rude." Li Yuan shouted in a deep voice: "Are you threatening the Empress?"

Queen Xiao reached out to stop Li Yuandi and scolded him, frowned slightly, "Shimin, say something slowly. I will of course do my best if I can. But I have limited abilities."

After hesitating, Li Shimin stood up and said hatefully: "Report to the Empress. The cause of the incident is because of the dog thief Hu Sizheng."

Empress Xiao said in surprise: "Huosi's political tyranny is not a crime, hasn't he been killed by the emperor?"

"Although Huo Sizheng died, he has caused many people to implicate him." Li Shimin said sadly: "Empress, Gao Shilian Uncle Gao had contact with him before, but he didn't expect the Emperor..."

"Shimin." Li Yuan shouted sternly.

Li Shimin coughed and changed his tone, "Empress, because of Hu Sizheng, Gao Shiwang was also implicated. A few days ago, he accidentally contradicted the emperor. The emperor remembered the matter of Hu Sizheng and had already put him in the death row. He asked the empress to be punished on a date. He also asked the empress to be kind and persuade the emperor to say goodbye. Now Gao Shiwang is in his life. I am afraid that only you can persuade the emperor in the world, and ask the empress to be kind."

Queen Xiao frowned and was speechless for a long time.

***

Xiao Buyi and Yuan Lan arrived at a room early to rest. Yuan Lan asked the palace maid to wait outside the door, closed the door and lowered his voice, "Bu Yi was really tight-lipped, but it was a pleasure to congratulate him, and he actually recognized the queen's marriage."

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yuan, I am not keeping my mouth shut. It's really because my father has never told me about this."

Yuan Lan was a little surprised, just stared at Xiao Buyi, stared for a while before saying, "Is the queen true that she said this?"

"What's true or false?" Xiao Buyi was very surprised.

"The queen said that your father didn't want to see her. Didn't you hear that?" Yuan Lan shook her head and said.

"Why don't my father want to see the queen?" Xiao Buyi asked.
