In the palace of Prince Bin and Fanglan, Xiao Jiuniang was reading the letter. The letter was written by her mother Zhang. In the letter, Zhang told her life in Chang'an and her children's recent situation, and then asked her how she lives now.

At the beginning of this year, Xiao Jiuniang's brother, the king of Liang State, Xiao Cong, was ordered to enter the court and arrived at Chang'an, the capital of Zhou State, with more than 200 civil and military officials. He has been stranded in Chang'an since then and has not returned to Jiangling.

In the early Xia Dynasty, Xiao Cong and civil and military officials accepted a cruel and helpless fact: Jiangling was completely taken over by the Jiangling General Manager of Zhou State, Liang State was destroyed, and the dust was settled.

More than 40 years ago, the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out and the Xiaoliang Kingdom was in a slump. As soon as the Hou Jing Rebellion ended, the Xiaoliang royal family itself had internal conflicts and brothers fought against each other, which led to the collapse of the country.

Emperor Yuan of Liang, who was the capital of Jiangling, was incompatible with his younger brother Xiao Ji, who was in charge of Yizhou. His brothers were in a state of fire and Xiao Yi invited the Wei Kingdom (Western Wei) to attack Shu and lost Shu.

Xiao Yi defeated Xiao Yu, who was in charge of Baxiang. Xiao Yu (Xiao Yu's brother) who was in charge of Xiangyang was desperate and called a vassal to the Wei State (Western Wei). In order to revenge, Xiao Yu led the Wei army south and finally captured Jiangling.

On the day when the city was broken, Xiao Yi, who was ashamed, burned more than 100,000 volumes of ancient and modern classics, was a literary catastrophe, and Xiao Liang's civil and military achievements were completely destroyed.

Xiao Yi and his son were killed, and nearly 90% of Jiangling residents, including officials from Liang State and their families, were taken to Chang'an by Wei soldiers.

It was the cold winter, and more than half of the people were frozen to death on the road to Chang'an. Xiao Feng was supported by the Wei Kingdom to be Emperor Liang, and the ruined Jiangling, which was established as the capital of the country, was actually a puppet.

The news of Jiangling's fall reached Jiankang. Wang Sengbian, the important minister of Liang State who guarded Jiankang, supported Xiao Fangzhi, and the son of Xiao Yi, as the emperor. The Qi State of Gao took advantage of the situation to rob. Wang Sengbian was forced to change the royal family Xiao Yuanming as the emperor, but therefore attacked and killed Chen Baxian.

Not long after Chen Baxian reinstated Xiao Fangzhi as emperor, he replaced him and established the State of Chen. At this point, Xiao Liang's country was the only small place left in the capital of Jiangling.

Since then, the Liang Kingdom of Xiao has survived and passed on to three generations of emperors. Now it has finally come to an end, just like an old man who has been lying on a bed for many years and has suffered from illness. He has finally died.

For the family, the old man left, although everyone was sad, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because there was finally a result, otherwise if they would endure like this, everyone would feel uncomfortable.

For Xiao Jiuniang, it doesn’t matter if Liang State is gone. What she cares most about is the situation of her mother Zhang and her brothers.

Her brother Xiao Cong is now awarded the title of Shangzhu Kingdom and the title of Duke of Ju Kingdom. He is an official in Chang'an and has a good salary.

Her mother, Zhang, was naturally no longer the Empress Dowager, but the Lady of Ju, who also lived in Chang'an.

Xiao Jiuniang's uncles and brothers, as members of the Liang Kingdom, also settled in Chang'an at this time, and each had its own responsibilities or was idle at home. Xiao Jiuniang's younger brother Xiao Yu was "exceptional" because he was not yet twenty years old and continued to study in Xiyang, Huangzhou.

In order for her mother to live better in Chang'an, Xiao Jiuniang took the initiative to bear most of her mother's daily expenses. In fact, she didn't need to do this, because the court gave Zhang a good treatment, but as a daughter, Xiao Jiuniang hoped to be filial.

As the side room of King Bin, she was responsible for managing some of the industries in the royal palace. She not only had "wages", but also "dividends" and the "rewards" given to her by Yuwen Wen. Therefore, Xiao Jiuniang, who is rich and wealthy, "even" her income every month to her mother to subsidize her family income.

Not only that, I also send some precious medicinal materials or sea delicacies to my mother from time to time, including white sugar, refined sea salt, and precious seafood such as kohlb, salted fish, and sea cucumber.

Because Xiao Jiuniang was born in February and was regarded as unknown according to Jiangnan customs, she lived outside the palace since she was a child. She raised her uncle Zhang Ke. She did not receive the care of her parents. She even had the status of a princess, but she lived like a commoner woman. However, she never resented her parents for this.

My father has passed away for many years, but now he is the only mother left. He lives in Chang'an. It is rare for mother and daughter to meet, so he can only contact him by letters. Xiao Jiuniang wants to be filial to the family by subsidizing her family.

After reading the letter, Xiao Jiuniang felt moved for a long time, and then picked up a pen to write a reply.

Now everything is fine and she gave birth to a son for Yuwen Wen. Now the little guy is over one year old, healthy and lively, has learned to walk and starts to babble.

Yuwen Wen is still as good as ever to her, and her children are healthy, so Xiao Jiuniang has no worries and just hopes that her mother will live a safe and safe life in Chang'an and her relatives will be safe and safe.

After putting the letter in the envelope and just handed it over to the maid, Xiao Jiuniang got to report to the front yard, saying that the king had just returned to the house and seemed a little unhappy after reading the account book. She said that she would have a "meeting" in fifteen minutes, so she asked her to prepare quickly.

Of course, it means literally. Yuwen Wen had to talk about serious things at the meeting. Maybe he would get angry about the matter of reconciliation. Xiao Jiuniang didn't dare to neglect her, so she asked the maid to prepare a basket of materials and scrubbed her in a hurry, and then went to the study room in the backyard.

......

In the reception room of the front yard of the Prince Bin Mansion, the princess Yuchi Chifan was meeting guests. As the princess, she had the power to receive guests in the front yard of the Prince Bin Mansion. The visitor was a female guest, and she was also visiting the door so as not to be chewed.

The envoy of Princess Qianjin (known to the outside world as Princess Taiping), Persian Huji Agnes, came from Chang'an and brought Princess Qianjin's handwritten letters and greetings to Princess Feng and his wife.

Agnes wore a veil because of scars on his cheeks. Although it was a bit rude to pay homage to the princess, Yuchi Chifan didn't care. She had troubles with the daughter of the princess, so she was very familiar with Agnes. When they met, they had a lot to say.

What Yuchi Chifan is most concerned about is how the Qianjin Princess is doing recently. Although she often communicates with the other party, if a third party explains the situation from the side, it will be more objective.

Yuchi Chifan was not afraid of the daughter of the daughter lying to her, but was afraid that the other party would report good news but not bad news. He forced himself to laugh, pretended to be relaxed, but was bullied but refused to say anything.

Since the death of the first emperor at the beginning of last year and the new king ascended the throne, the daughter princess was seriously ill, and then moved out of the palace and lived in the princess's mansion in Chang'an City. At this point, it faded out of most people's sight.

When the late emperor was still alive, the princess of Qianjin was respected by the late emperor, so she was treated very well and became the target of flattery by many people.

As the late emperor died, the status of the Qianjin Princess plummeted. Although the treatment and courtesy given by the court were also good, for many people, the Qianjin Princess no longer had "use value", so the neglect of the Qianjin Princess's mansion became inevitable.

Although the daughter-in-law often enters the palace to accompany the young emperor and the young empress dowager, for most people, this once-hot eldest princess is now just an ordinary foreigner.

Now the prime minister has the final say in the court, and the princess of Qianjin has no power. In addition, she has moved out of the palace, which is no longer the best way to please the emperor. But today, when Zi is so young, he even speaks in a difficult manner.

The snobbish people have forgotten the princess of a daughter, but there are two exceptions, namely the King of Bin and his wife.

When the late emperor was present, everyone knew that King Bin kept giving gifts to the daughter princess, or giving gifts to the princess in a dignified manner; when the late emperor was present, King Bin continued to give gifts to the daughter princess, without any snobbishness.

The fate of Princess Qianjin and Princess Feng and his wife is extraordinary, and insiders will not question too much about this. Princess Feng is busy with affairs, so the relationship with Princess Qianjin is all for Princess Feng.

Agnes came here and left Chang'an openly and came to the door openly. Everything was carried out according to the etiquette system, and he was walking straight and sitting straight. Even Li Gang, the chief minister of the royal palace, had no objection.

Agnes not only represented the daughter princess, but also had polite contacts with Princess Bin, but also brought the daughter princess greetings and a request.
