The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang got out of the car together, then looked up at the gate of the palace where the white silk was already hung on it, and couldn't help but look at each other heavily. After receiving the bad news from the little lady of the Wang family, Li Xiu finally decided to visit him. After all, Xuanzang was not here, he was considered a friend.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties quickly came up and saw the couple saluting immediately: "Secretary Wang Renbiao, pay homage to the princess and the princess!"

"Brother Wang, you are still my cousin of the princess. We are all family members. Today, I and the princess suddenly heard the bad news and felt very sad, so I came to pay my respects!" Li Xiu said very politely at this time. At the same time, he was also looking at Wang Renbiao, and saw that the other party was of medium figure, with a straight facial features and a righteous face, and looked like a very square person.

Wang Renbiao was also a little flattered when he heard that Li Xiu was so polite to him and even called him a cousin. You know, he was just an inconspicuous little official in Chang'an City. Although he was nominally the son of Princess Tong'an, his identity not only did not bring him benefits, but also made him restrain him everywhere. Li Xiu was a first-class man in the Tang Dynasty and had a very good personal relationship with Li Shimin. Compared with Changsun Wuji, such a person was simply a difference between heaven and earth compared to him, so he felt a little frightened for a moment.

"Cousin Wang, when I was traveling, I met Qian Niang in the temple. Later I found out that she was the daughter of Cousin Wang and my niece. However, I didn't expect that she died prematurely, which was really heartbreaking, so I came with the prince consort and hoped that Cousin Wang would not be surprised!" Princess Pingyang also spoke softly at this time.

The matter between Xuanzang and Qianniang cannot be exposed. In this way, Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu have to have a legitimate reason to come to pay their respects. If it were just for Princess Pingyang and Wang Renbiao, the unreliable cousin, would definitely not work. So before coming, Li Xiu specifically instructed Princess Pingyang to tell this little lie. Anyway, Qianniang is no longer here, and Princess Pingyang can do anything, and Wang Renbiao will not pursue such small matters.

Sure enough, when he heard that Princess Pingyang had seen her daughter before, Wang Renbiao couldn't help but feel sad, and tears came out again, but he quickly reacted, wiped his tears, and forced a smile to Li Xiu, "Don't blame the princess and princess, the little girl suddenly left, and the lower official was also heartbroken. It was really a bit rude. Please come in quickly!"

At that moment, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang accompanied Wang Renbiao to the mansion. Because Qian Niang was not out of the house, the mourning hall was set up in the inner house. When they came to the mourning hall, they saw a woman holding a boy, lying in front of the spirit and crying. Li Xiu had already learned about it in advance, knowing that this must be Wang Renbiao's wife and son.

Li Xiu and his wife were the first and only guests to pay their respects, but this was enough. At that moment, Li Xiu asked someone to send a quilt to the deceased, which was also the rule of mourning. Then the couple stood in front of Qian Niang's spirit and bowed, while Wang Li next to him cried again, and Wang Renbiao even wiped his tears secretly, but the boy named Yi'er stood there with a look of at a loss.

After the ceremony, Princess Pingyang stepped forward to help Wang Li up and whispered comfort. Li Xiu came to Wang Ren's surface and comforted him a few words. However, the first time they met, there was nothing to say. On the contrary, Princess Pingyang and Wang Li are both women and are both mothers, so there is a natural topic.

However, Li Xiu quickly found the topic because he found that the boy beside Wang Renbiao was looking at him with big eyes open. Li Xiu has always been a person who likes children, otherwise there would not be so many students in the family. So he smiled and bent down and said, "What's your name, child, and how old are you?"

"My name is Yi'er, I'm three years old this year!" The little guy was a little nervous, but when he saw Li Xiu's smile was very gentle, he also plucked up the courage.

"Silly child, when the prince consort asks you for your name, you have to answer your full name!" Wang Renbiao couldn't help but caress his son's head in a doting way. When his daughter died, he only had such a son left. But whenever he saw his son, he couldn't help but think of the happy scene of his family when his daughter was alive, which made him sigh again.

Hearing his father's words, the little guy showed a sudden expression, then turned his head to look at Li Xiu and said again: "My name is Wang Fangyi, is the prince consort your name?"

When Li Xiu heard the question behind the little guy, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The prince-consort is not my name. I am the princess' husband. The princess' husband is the prince-consort. This is also a kind of official position. Wait, your name is Wang Fangyi?"

However, just when Li Xiu spoke at the end, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the child with an incredible look on his face and said, "He only knew that Wang Renbiao had a son in advance, but he didn't know that his son was named Wang Fangyi."

"Yes, my father chose the name of the child himself. Does the prince-consort think there is anything wrong with the name of the child?" Seeing Li Xiu's surprised look, Wang Renbiao couldn't help but ask worriedly. According to Feng Shui, a person's name has a great impact on a person's fate. After his daughter passed away, Wang Renbiao regarded his son as his only hope. Therefore, when he saw Li Xiu's face change drastically when he heard his son's name, he couldn't help but worry.

"Brother Wang misunderstood. There is nothing wrong with Fang Yi's name. It's just that I used to have a friend who also called this name, so I was a little surprised for a moment!" Li Xiu hurriedly covered up.

Of course, Li Xiu would not tell Wang Renbiao that his son Wang Fangyi would be an important figure during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Although this person may not be so famous in history, Wang Fangyi was a civil and military genius. When he was a local official, he could benefit the people. He even invented farm tools himself and could resist foreign enemies when he was a general. The most important Western Region town in the Tang Dynasty, Suye City, was built by Wang Fangyi. No matter which dynasty such a person is placed, he can be called a generation of capable ministers.

However, Wang Fangyi's background implicated him, not only because of the relationship between their father and son and Princess Tong'an, but most importantly, he also had a cousin, the Empress Wang who married Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi. Later, Empress Wang died tragically at the hands of Wu Zetian. Wang Fangyi was also implicated and was eventually exiled to Yazhou to die of depression.

Thinking of Wang Fangyi's life in history and looking at the boy who was only three years old in front of him, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, but then he suddenly thought of another thing and turned his head to look at Wang Renbiao, because he thought that in the original history, Wang Fangyi lost his father at a young age, so Wang Renbiao might not be alive.

"Husband, let's take a look at Qianniang's face!" At this moment, Princess Pingyang suddenly came over and interrupted Li Xiu's contemplation softly. This is also one of the processes of mourning.

Li Xiu nodded when he heard this. Of course, he looked at Wang Renbiao and Wang Fangyi and his son again, and then he walked into the spirit with Princess Pingyang. He saw an exquisite coffin parked inside, and the coffin was not covered. Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang came close to him and saw a young girl lying inside at first glance.

I saw that the other party was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even though his skin had lost its blood color, it still looked quite beautiful. What was even more shocking was that Qian Niang's eyebrows were peaceful, and even a faint smile seemed to be on the corner of her mouth. She seemed to have not felt any pain at all before her death, but instead she was asleep.

"Wuwuwu~, I pay homage to the princess, princess!" At this moment, a maid next to the coffin suddenly stepped forward and saluted Li Xiu and the others. It was the piano playing that he used to go to Li Xiu's house. As Qian Niang's personal maid, even if Qian Niang had passed away, she would guard next to the coffin. This was also what she asked for. Speaking of which, her parents died early and grew up with Qian Niang since childhood. The two had a relationship even more close than ordinary sisters.

"No need to be polite. Your wife has passed away. Don't be too sad to play the Qin!" Li Xiu couldn't help but persuade him with a sorrow when he saw Fu Qin crying.

Wang Renbiao next to him was stunned when he saw that Li Xiu actually knew the maid next to his daughter. However, in such an occasion, he couldn't ask questions, so he could only bury this question in his heart and planned to ask about playing the piano after Li Xiu left.

Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang visited Qianniang's remains, then left the mourning hall, and then talked with Wang Rencai and his wife, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave. However, when she left, Fuqin quietly followed Li Xiu, and then took advantage of Wang Rencai and his wife's inattention, and bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you for the letter. My wife was really happy after reading the letter. Even... she smiled and left very peacefully!"

"You have to be polite. Xuanzang is my friend, so it's time to help him. But your wife is gone. Do you have any plans in the future?" Li Xiu said with some concern at this time. Compared to that Qianniang, he had more contact with playing the piano, so he was also very concerned about her future fate.

"Thank you for your concern for the prince. When the lady left, she specially asked me to take care of the young master, and the master and wife agreed to let me be the young master's maid!" Fuqin said with a sad expression at this time. She was just a little maid and had no long-term plans. However, the royal palace treated her well, so she followed the arrangements of the royal palace.

"It's good. Although your young master is young, he is extremely smart. His future achievements will definitely be extraordinary. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to me!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this. However, at the end, he suddenly thought of Wang Renbiao's fate in history, which made him sigh. He didn't even know how Wang Renbiao died. Even if he wanted to save him, he would probably be powerless.
