Chapter 90 I know
In the South Xia country, the long and sultry summer has come, but this is an extremely unusual summer for the South Xia country, because their queen is terminally ill and seems to be unable to survive until autumn. All the people are guessing who Emperor Xia will pass the throne to. According to the rules of the Southern Xia Kingdom, the throne can only be inherited by women, and now there are four people who are eligible to inherit the throne.
The eldest princess Xia Ruo, who is over 30 years old but has been unmarried, is not married. Although she is a woman on the battlefield, she has made dozens of achievements alone.
Xia Ziyan, the third princess, has been married, and Xia Ziyan owns the four major money banks of Xia, and Xia has always been taken care of by her. Although she is only 25 years old, she is already a business genius who has been admired by many veterans who have been struggling in the market for decades.
The fourth princess Xia Xue was named Snow because she was born in winter and there was a rare snow in Southern Xia that year. The 19-year-old princess is as quiet and calm as snow.
The sixth princess Xia Shang has left the palace to travel around the world since she was ten years old. The reason why she returned to Nanxia this time was because she heard that her mother was seriously ill, so she had to come back. The most annoying thing about freedom is the palace, so even if Emperor Xia passed the throne to her, she would not hesitate. Reject.
Of course, no one knows that Xiaobei, who has been accompanying Emperor Xia at this moment, is actually the child of Emperor Xia and King Jinheng, and Emperor Xia is also very painful. She really wants to pass the throne to this child who has lost mother's love and father's love since childhood, but Nanxia has not given the first example of passing the throne to men since ancient times, and if it is public What an insult to the Nanxia royal family.
In the imperial garden, Emperor Xia sat casually on the stone bench but was immediately stopped by Xiaobei and said, "The stone bench is cool."
Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor told you not to blow the wind." Zhu Xia, a female official, also said, "Your health is not completely good."
"No, I want to see the sun. People in the room are almost moldy. Xiaobei, do you like it here?
"I like it." Xiaobei said, "Your Majesty, you are very kind to me, and Zhu Xia is also very kind to me."
"Do you have a good one?" Emperor Xia suddenly asked, "If not, I will choose a few from the princes and nobles for you."
"Huh?" Xiaobei didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only be stunned there.
Although Zhu Xia did not know the relationship between Xiaobei and Emperor Qi, she could vaguely see that Emperor Xia cared about Xiaobei and cared about Xiaobei very much. Obviously, her monarch wanted to leave the young man in front of him in Nanxia: "Yes, Xiaobei, you are also of marriageable. The women in Nanxia are as gentle as water. Don't miss it. ."
"No." Xiaobei shook his head and said, "I want to go back to Qi. How can I get married here?" And I heard that the prince doesn't seem to be in good health. Xiaobei wants to stay in the State of Qi to take care of the prince.
"Does the prince treat you well?" Xia Di asked.
"Well, although Xiaobei is only a humble slave, the prince never thinks so. In the past, I really hoped that the prince was my father, but that was impossible." Xiaobei said sadly, "But it doesn't matter. Xiaobei is living happily now."
Emperor Xia was silent. She tried her best not to let the tears in her eyes flow down. Zhu Xia secretly glanced at Emperor Xia and affirmed that Xiaobei must have something to do with Emperor Xia. Could it be that... Zhu Xia shook her head and erased that idea from her heart, which was impossible.
For a long time, Emperor Xia said slowly, "Zhu Xia, go down first. I have something to talk to Xiaobei alone."
"Yes."
After Zhu Xia left, there were only Xia Di and Xiao Bei. Xia Di slowly held Xiao Bei's hand and said calmly, "Xiao Bei, I want to tell you one thing. You are the child of King Jinheng and me, and I am your mother.
"I know." Xiaobei said in a very calm tone, "I know you are my mother, and I also know that the prince is my father."
Xia Di obviously didn't expect that Xiaobei had known the truth of the matter and asked in surprise, "You, do you know?"
Xiaobei nodded and said, "Many young people are drunk. I heard him say what he said."
"Since you know why you don't recognize me?"
"You must have had the trouble of abandoning me, and then I stood in front of you alive, but you still don't recognize me, so I think maybe you must have an unspeakable secret that you can't recognize me. In this case, why should I break this peace?" Xiaobei said, "If the State of Qi knows that I am your child, it is bound to cause another dispute. Similarly, Nanxia will not be peaceful. I don't want to involve the two countries because I am alone."
Hot tears dripping down, and Xia Di choked and couldn't say anything. She hugged Xiaobei and said intermittently, "Yes... I'm sorry..."
Xiaobei's face was full of tears. He clenched his teeth and tried not to cry. Growing up in the Divine Moon Palace, he is much precocious than children of the same age. Although he is lively and cheerful on the outside, he is an extremely slender child on the inside.
In the distance, Xia Shang, the sixth princess, saw her mother crying with Xiaobei in her arms, and there was a trace of doubt in her heart. Why did her mother cry with Xiaobei in her arms? She wanted to go there, but finally changed her direction and walked towards the palace of the third princess Xia Ziyan.
"Sister, I just saw my mother crying with Xiaobei in her arms." Xia Shang sat carelessly on the chair, took a pear and nibbled it without peeling it.
Xia Ziyan, who was looking through the account book, raised his head and asked, "So what?"
"What's the reason? I asked my mother why she cried with Xiaobei in her arms. Don't you think it's strange?"
"How do I know why? You can ask your mother directly, and you are probably the only one who dares to call your mother in the palace."
"Cut!" Xia Shang stuck out his tongue and said, "What's so beautiful about your account book? ? Every time you come, you are reading the account book. Don't you feel annoyed!"
"I'm not looking at the account book."
"It's not an account book, what is that?"
"Money."
"I'm really defeated by you. If you keep your mouth shut, it's money. I said you were about to get into the eyes of money."
Xia Ziyan closed the account book and said seriously, "Little sister, have you heard of Baoqing Pavilion?"
"Baoqing Pavilion? I've heard of it. Isn't it just the Chamber of Commerce of the State of Qi? I also heard there that the owner of Baoqing Pavilion seems to have just become the financial division of the State of Qi.
"I really want to see him when I have a chance."
"Sister, you are a married woman."
Where do you want to go? I just think that a person who can establish such a large chamber of commerce as Baoqing Pavilion in just a few years is a talent. Xia Ziyan said, "He is completely a business genius. I must meet him when I have a chance."
"Since you want to see others so much, just go to Cangguo."
"Why?"
Xia Shang threw the finished pear core to the ground and said, "According to my source, Qi Guo Finance Division is on the way to Cang Guo, so as long as you wait in Cang Guo, you will definitely see it."
"Forget it, it's an eventful time now. I'd better see him again when I have a chance." Xia Ziyan looked at the pear core on the ground and said dissatisfiedly, "Can you stop throwing it away? It's very dirty."
"Cut, when did you become like Xia Xue, cleanliness fetish?"
"This is not a cleanliness fetish, but a rule."
"My rule is to break all local rules and be free." Xia Shang said, "Do you know? The snowy mountains of Lu are beautiful, stretching for thousands of miles, and the blue moon mountains of Cang. There are many rare animals like spring all year round. I originally wanted to go to the Divine Moon Palace in the State of Qi, but it's a pity that people are not allowed to visit there, but the century-old Lausang wine is very delicious, which is simply the best.
"I wish you could be so free after you get married. You are also 16 years old to get married." Xia Ziyan said.
"No, Xia Xue is 19 years old and hasn't got married yet. Why do you want me, the young one to get married first?" Xia Shang said with an unhappy face, "I don't want to get married. After getting married, I'm too unfree. I don't want to get married for the rest of my life."
Xia Ziyan said with a smile, "That's impossible."
"Well, I won't get married anyway."
