Chapter 39 You, you, you are treasonous!
Xiangying knelt down and said, "Xiuxiu, tell mother, what do you mean dad is missing?"
Xiang Xiuxiu blinked: "Mother said it, because dad felt that mother was too busy and wanted to leave, so he disappeared."
Xiang Yuanlang waved his little hand: "You remember wrongly. Dad is not missing. He died of illness."
Xiang Yuanxiao interjected: "No way, why do I remember that he was buried alive."
Xiangying opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something but holding back.
Did the original owner do something murderous and silenced and the children saw it?
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Is it okay to let Jie Chen hear it?
However, the child's words gave Xiangying a wake-up call.
At first, she had preconceptions that the three little ones were Jie Chen's children.
But now that I think about it, Xie Chen never admitted it, he just showed some concern for the children.
The original owner had raised so many male pets, and it was unclear whose child it was.
Fortunately, Xiangying didn't care.
No matter who the child's father is, she must be the only mother.
Well, you can’t go wrong, keep it!
The bacon and bamboo shoots are stewed together, and the soup quickly becomes thick, white and fragrant.
Xiangying put the washed fungus in and sprinkled it with salt and white pepper before taking it out of the pot.
The children each had a bowl, paired with a whole sesame pancake, soaked in the soup and ate it with relish.
Xiangying brings a bowl to find Xiangli.
Miss Zheng Er, who had been here during the day, had already been waiting by the wooden cart.
She seemed to be greeting Xiang Li, but in fact she kept staring at the broth in Xiang Ying's hand from the corner of her eye.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince... You and the eldest princess really have a way to eat so well at this time, and the captain doesn't care."
Xiang Li smiled faintly: "It's my sister A Ying who is so powerful, and I have taken advantage of her."
Miss Zheng Er showed an envious expression.
"Your Highness, do you still need someone to take care of you? I think..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiangli looked at Xiangying who was walking over and smiled softly: "Aying, you are here."
Xiangying glanced at Miss Zheng and handed over the soup bowl: "Your injuries are not healed yet. I don't have much meat for you, but you have to finish it."
She also took vitamins and calcium tablets from the space and quietly put them into the bowl to help his injuries heal.
Unexpectedly, Xiangli cared about Lin Lingxiang.
"Miss Lin probably hasn't eaten yet. She was taking care of me just now. If my sister has extra broth, you might as well give it to her along with mine."
Xiangying's red lips clicked: "You haven't eaten yet, but you care about others."
Xiang Li smiled: "Miss Lin has worked very hard to take care of me. I want to thank you properly."
"You can eat without worry, I left a lot for her and the Lin family." Xiangying waved, and Taoxue came over to serve Xiangli and drink soup.
Miss Zheng was nearby and couldn't even say a word.
She could only watch as Xiangying turned and left, and said to please: "Eldest Princess, eldest..."
Xiangying didn’t even look back.
Miss Zheng looked at Xiang Li again, and he still had that gentle look.
They seem very close, but in fact they are very distant.
Miss Zheng threw up her sleeves angrily and left.
There were many Lin family members, so Xiangying simply asked Lin Lingxiang to bring them all around to eat. If the soup was cooked more, they could share more.
I didn’t forget to give some to the seventh princess and concubine Yu.
After Qi Fengyi had just eaten, he leaned against the tree trunk and fell into a daze.
Xiang Qianqian had just come back from Scarface with a bad experience.
Originally, she wanted to continue to cooperate with Scarface, helping them wash clothes and exchange some dry food.
But who would have thought that Scarface would not accept anyone except Xiangying's kindness.
Xiangying asked Taoxue to give Scarface a bowl of soup, and she was so determined to conquer him!
When I came back and saw Xiangying and the others eating from a big pot, they felt even more unhappy!
She clenched her fists angrily and went directly to Concubine Shangguan, the oldest among the exiled prisoners, to make the decision.
Xiang Qianqian didn't believe it, no one could control Xiang Ying.
On Xiangying's side, a group of people were eating and drinking, and while they were talking around the fire, Feng Meiren came weakly.
"Princess..." Her voice was too soft, and Xiangying didn't hear it at first.
Until she plucked up the courage and shouted: "Princess, the old lady calls you over!"
Then, all eyes fell on Feng Meiren, which made timid Feng Meiren shrink back in fear.
Xiangying raised her eyebrows: "Old concubine? Which old concubine?"
"Your Highness, she must be the concubine Shangguan," Tao Xue lowered her voice, "She used to be the eldest maid beside the Queen Mother. She was favored by the late emperor and later became the beloved concubine. After the Queen Mother passed away, she also gained considerable prestige in the palace." Shangguan Taifei, Xiangying's original owner's memory, started to buzz on the radar.
She vaguely remembered that Prince Xuan, son of Concubine Shangguan, held military power in the court because he was a relative of the emperor.
He was the peace advocate. After listening to his words, the emperor made up his mind not to resist.
Looking at Feng Meiren's look, Xiangying didn't bother to embarrass her, and she even knew what Shangguan Taifei wanted to say when she called her.
However, Xiangying today is not someone to be trifled with.
Her attitude was cold: "I'm not going. If you have anything to say, ask them to come and say it themselves."
What concubine? She's not from the Western Zhou Dynasty, so she doesn't recognize him.
Feng Meiren did not dare to disobey and hurried back to deliver the message.
After a while, a group of concubines who had no food to eat and were resentful of Xiang Ying came over supporting a trembling old lady.
Taoxue and the others immediately gathered behind Xiangying, as if they regarded her as the leader.
Concubine Shangguan had silver hair and a gloomy look in her drooping triangular eyes.
When she was in exile, she relied on her nuns to take turns carrying her, otherwise she would have died on the road.
At this moment, Xiang Qianqian was standing behind the old concubine.
As soon as she sat down, Princess Shangguan said solemnly: "Xiangli, Xiangying, you two brothers and sisters are really disappointing. You have not learned the slightest bit of the queen's concept of presiding over the overall situation."
"Especially Xiangying, no matter how estranged you were from us before, now we are all exiled. We are both grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and we are a family."
"If you have extra food, you should share it with us. We are your grandmother, mother-in-law and sisters after all. How can you care about the life and death of outsiders and not care about your family?"
The so-called outsiders refer to the family of Mr. Lin from Qintian Prison.
Facing Concubine Shangguan's accusation, Mr. Lin felt ashamed of the royal family and quickly got up to apologize.
Xiangying held his shoulders and sat back down firmly.
Xiang Li pursed his thin lips quietly, listening to everything Xiang Ying said.
"What family, old concubine? Our country has perished and you haven't figured out the situation yet? From now on, I will help whoever I want to help."
Seeing how tough she was, Shangguan Taifei felt a little angry in the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
"If you are like this, as the only concubine, I have the right to deprive you of your status as the eldest princess. If your father were here, he would definitely agree with my opinion."
"When the time comes, we will not recognize your identity as the eldest princess." The implication is that she will be removed from the royal family.
Xiangying almost laughed out loud.
She stood up and lowered her dark phoenix eyes.
"You, a foot-washing maid, dare to accuse me here just because you have given birth to a son for the royal family?"
Concubine Shangguan's triangular eyes suddenly widened: "How dare you speak to me like that!"
Xiangying's attitude was cold: "You dare to come in front of me and act like an elder. What's wrong with me? I might as well speak more clearly -"
"In terms of orthodoxy, brother and I are direct descendants. Even if you want to be expelled, we will drive you out of the royal family."
"You are worthy of being called an old concubine only if I am willing to recognize you. If I am not willing, then who are you? Who can prove your identity?"
Concubine Shangguan gasped in anger: "Say it again? I am the late emperor's concubine!"
Xiang Ying raised her eyebrows: "The late emperor has turned into dust long ago! And you are a person who can't even enter the imperial mausoleum of my Xiang family even if you die."
"Also, you'd better not mention that useless father. I want to hit him when I hear his name."
"If he really dares to stand in front of me, I will definitely settle the score with him first!"
Concubine Shangguan's heart heaved violently, her breathing was rapid and heavy, and her finger pointing at Xiangying trembled slightly: "You, you... are so rebellious!"
She looked at Xiangli: "Prince, this is your good sister, you still don't care?!"
The smile on Xiang Li's lips was gentle, but his eyes were sober and dark.
"I listen to A Ying."
The soldiers watching the show couldn't help but be happy.
Look at these siblings! The same qi connected with the branches, making Shangguan Taifei half angry to death.
Xiangying: It’s annoying. It’s not like I won’t give you food if you talk nicely. You’re always so smart.
Xie Chen: My wife is so handsome, my wife is mighty, hehe.
Three little ones: It seems our father is not you!
Xie Chen: No hehe.

Let me see who hasn’t voted for Xiangying and Xiechen yet!
