However, when he saw Xiao Yao holding the memorial and continuing to walk towards Lingyin Pavilion, he said, "Is the emperor here to see His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

"Yeah." Uncle Rong was no longer around, so she came to the Imperial Observatory naturally to find her royal brother.

"You came at a bad time. I went to knock on the door just now, but he seemed to be in seclusion. There are some things he hasn't thought through, and I'm afraid he won't come out for a while." Old Man Ding said with a smile.

Xiao Yao looked at him, "Didn't he just come back from Yime Garden?" He came back with Xie Ying, so why is he in seclusion now?

Seeing Xiao Yao's interest, Old Man Ding simply stopped practicing boxing and pointed to the stone table beside him, "Your Majesty, would you please have a cup of tea?"

It didn't seem to be that cold inside the Imperial Observatory.

There wasn't a big storm, so Xiao Yao didn't think much about it and just sat over and said, "Okay."

After sitting down.

Xiao Yao put the memorial aside and poured tea for Old Man Ding personally.

Seeing her calm and courteous appearance, Old Man Ding was very pleased. She was indeed the empress who was personally taught by Rong Xun. Her demeanor was calm.

Well, I have to say that every one of the children taught by Rong Xun is quite calm and composed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Old Man Ding sat down, he picked up the wine and took a few sips without any hesitation.

Xiao Yao also poured herself a cup, "Master Ding would never show up unless there is something going on. I have some doubts and would like to ask you for confirmation."

Old Man Ding was very satisfied with the taste of the tea, and murmured with satisfaction, "Your Majesty, please ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"Before Uncle Rong left Beijing, he gave a peach blossom hairpin to my brother. Later, on the birthday of Miss Xie Ying, the eldest daughter of Duke Xie's mansion, Miss Xie Jiaojiao received a white jade peach blossom hairpin from an old Taoist priest. It is similar to my brother's peach blossom hairpin except for the different materials. Master Ding, can you tell me the reason behind this?"

She smiled and asked, "Was it arranged by Uncle Rong?"

Old Man Ding stroked his graying beard and said, "That white jade peach blossom hairpin was indeed made by your uncle Rong. It was also personally passed on to Miss Xie by me, the old man, through Miss Xie's second hand."

That's it!

Sure enough, it was not much different from what Xie Yunchu said, but what was unexpected was that it was Old Man Ding who did it personally.

Old Man Ding smiled and said, "It is undeniable that your father and mother have been immersed in love all their lives. They also hope that Your Highness Prince Chen can enjoy the greatest love in the world, become a helper to the emperor, and enable the people of Cangyun to live and work in peace and contentment."

Xiao Yao nodded.

This is what her father told her.

"I am a little disappointing." Xiao Yao said with a little guilt.

Old Man Ding glanced at her and smiled, "You are indeed Xiao Lusheng's children, one by one - haha, other royal families fight for the throne, but you are so good, you are so humble, so interesting, you brothers and sisters have to take turns to sit on the throne."

Xiao Yao didn't care what Old Man Ding said.

There are some things that even Old Man Ding can't say much about.

Before Rong Xun left Beijing, he did everything he could for Su Yun, even arranging Xiao Chen's marriage, and he did his best.

All he wanted in his life was to make Su Yun happy.

"Since Master Ding knows the purpose of my visit to my brother, it is obvious that Master Ding has any good suggestions?"

"I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but since it's something your uncle Rong wants to facilitate, the old man is willing to help."

Xiao Yao was delighted. "Thinking back to the past, when I was just over three years old, my father gave me a memorial and asked me to find Uncle Rong. Step by step, Uncle Rong eventually went back and forth between the Imperial Observatory and the palace.

So I thought, I'll use the same old trick again, and I don't know if my brother will be soft-hearted and help me review the memorials."

Old Man Ding smiled and said, "The emperor was weak back then, so Rong Xun had to give himself an excuse to live on."

really--

The emperor did this because he knew that Uncle Rong favored the queen mother, so he did this on purpose and let her be the bridge so that Uncle Rong would have more reasons to live well.

"But Your Majesty - an upright young man, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."

Xiao Yao asked, "What if I pretend to be sick?"

"Isn't Emperor Xie still here?"

"Then tell my brother, what if Xie Yunchu covets the throne?"

Old man Ding laughed out loud. If Xie Yunchu heard this, he would probably turn into a crying baby.

Xiao Yao also laughed, "I know he won't."

She also hinted to let Xie Yunchu review the memorials, but Xie Yunchu had principles and cleverly avoided it.

He married her under great pressure and definitely didn't want to be criticized for coveting the throne.

"However - although His Royal Highness Prince Chen has a true love, this love is somewhat mysterious." Old Man Ding suddenly talked about what Xiao Yao was most concerned about.

"How mysterious is it?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen seldom leaves the Imperial Observatory. Although that girl Xie can come in, but..." At this point, Old Man Ding looked at Xiao Yao. It could not be expressed in words, it could only be understood.

Xiao Yao was stunned. How could she not understand?

How could my brother, who has practiced for many years, be easily tempted?

Even if you are interested, how can you put it into action?

Therefore, even if there is a marriage, if there is no external force to help, the emperor's brother's fate is likely to die in the womb.

"But Miss Xie has to take the initiative..." Xiao Yao frowned. As a girl, Xie Ying was afraid that she would not be able to bring herself to pursue her brother.

Moreover, how to get Xie Ying to take the initiative to pursue the emperor?

It's really brain-burning!

Old Man Ding saw Xiao Yao's confusion and understood the difficulties: That's right, we should thank the girl for taking the initiative.

Look at his age, yet he still has to get involved in children's love affairs. It is really not good for his Taoist heart.

Old Man Ding saw that the time was right, so he decided to do things one by one: "Then shall we go together to see His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

Xiao Yao nodded, "Yes, please help, Master Ding."

She can now think about how to pretend to be sick.

Although Old Man Ding has a hunched back, his graceful steps do not make him look like a man over a hundred years old.

Xiao Yao quickly followed.

When they arrived at Lingyin Pavilion, Old Man Ding took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, poured out a brown pill and handed it to Xiao Yao, whispering, "Even if you are pretending to be sick, you have to act like one."

Xiao Yao looked at the pill - did she really want to take it?

Old Man Ding nodded: You must eat it.

In that case, then just eat. Anyway, with the relationship between Old Man Ding and Uncle Rong, it is impossible for them to harm her.

After taking it.

Xiao Yao had just taken two steps when she felt sore and weak all over, and even felt sweat starting to appear on her forehead. She looked at Old Man Ding in horror: This is too fast.

Old Man Ding smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Then he went forward and knocked on the door, saying in panic: "Yunyou, open the door quickly, the emperor is very ill."

in the house.

Xiao Chen, who was meditating on the kang, suddenly opened his eyes. Without thinking too much, he strode over and opened the door.

"My brother, my emperor..." Xiao Yao frowned, sweating profusely, and it was obvious that he was seriously ill.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Chen asked hurriedly, then helped Xiao Yao into the house.
