Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]
Chapter 413 Six Golden Flowers - 6
Lixie moved very quickly. He hired a scholar to teach them enlightenment. Under the pressure of tuition fees, Cai Chengen and the two little beggars who changed their names to Cai Pengyun and Cai Taihong studied very seriously. Prepare food and clothes, and inspect the market to see what they can do to make a living. The most important thing is that Lao Caitou wants to find some work that he can do, let alone Lao Caitou. Shops that make handicrafts can receive tools and materials from the shopkeeper. After taking them home and making them, they will be charged on a piece-by-piece basis without paying any cost. Lao Caitou can earn two to five renminbi for each item according to the complexity of the craft. money.
So here in Xihuai Lane, Lixie and the others have entered a very formal life mode, reading books, making handicrafts, and of course, Lixie would stroll outside Xuanpinghou's mansion every evening at dusk. He wanted to break into Yaoyao's boudoir, but he felt that if he broke in, he would be treated as a disciple by Yaoyao, so he had no choice but to hold back his feelings and slowly wait for her chance to go out.But the time was wrong, during this time Xuanpinghou Mansion was at the cusp of the capital, and the female relatives were not going out, so he had no chance to see her at all.
In the tea house opposite the dental shop two streets away from Xihuai Lane, the steward of the dental shop carried a stack of ledgers to report the accounts to the master, and the steward left after reporting the affairs of the dental shop.
The young man in white brocade clothes, with his back to the stairs, was thinking about something while looking at the water drops falling from the eaves. He was 17 years old, and most men in this dynasty married around 20 years old, so he was not very old, but he It's a prince, get married and start a business. This is an old saying. Only after he gets married, the courtiers will not look at him as a child. He thinks that the second brother is a bit stupid. If the second brother decides to choose a concubine last year and gets married this year, he You can accumulate capital faster than his younger brothers, but he postponed it. Are you stupid or not?
Not long after, a young man in black came up from downstairs. After bowing and saluting, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it is not easy to find out about Cai Jianian. He is a beggar who wandered to the capital from other places five months ago. A few months ago, he was rescued by Lao Caitou and Cai Chengen because of a dispute over food among beggars, so the three of them hugged together. Not long ago, Cai Chengen fell ill and had a severe fever. At that time, they lived in a room outside the city. The ruined temple, Cai Jianian and Lao Cai were desperate, and took Cai Chengen to Dr. Lin in Liujiazhuang to see a doctor. Under Dr. Lin's treatment, Cai Chengen's fever disappeared the next day. It is said that Cai Jianian entered Wangfengshan and followed Wangfengshan. The pheasant was handed over to Dr. Lin. That afternoon, Cai Jianian went to the city and sold a 50-year-old ginseng in a drugstore.
The subordinate in black paused and said, "According to Cai Jianian himself, he was a beggar when he was ten years old. I can’t find out what happened a month ago, and these sporadic things were leaked to those beggars by Cai Jianian himself.”
After the subordinate in black finished speaking, Young Master Jinyi waved his hand, and said after a while: "I see, do you have a chance to get in touch with him? Maybe you can find some marks on his body? For example, a more obvious birthmark."
"The subordinates are incompetent. Brothers can't get close to Cai Jianian. He seems to be very vigilant. Brothers dare not approach him within five meters, otherwise they will definitely be discovered." The subordinate in black said in shame.
He hurriedly said again: "However, Your Highness, Cai Jianian's behavior these days is quite strange. He sent two little beggars to supervise the Xuanpinghou Mansion before. I went to Tantuo Temple that afternoon, but at that time Tantuo Temple had deputy commander Wencang and other Xuanyi guards surveying the terrain, and the brothers didn't go in. I don't know who he met after he entered Tantuo Temple. In the past few days, In addition to inviting a scholar to teach them how to read and practice calligraphy, he would go around the Xuanpinghou Mansion every evening."
"Huh, Xuanpinghou Mansion?" Young Master Jinyi turned around, his face was that of the Third Prince, he asked in surprise: "What is he related to the young lady of Xuanpinghou Mansion?"
The subordinate in black shook his head repeatedly, and the third prince was pacing in the room. After a while, he glanced at the sky outside and said, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The prime minister's mansion is the right prime minister Cai Wenlun Cai's mansion. Cai Xiang is the grandfather of the third prince. The third prince's mother and concubine Xianfei is Cai Xiang's concubine daughter. The third prince feels that after investigating for so long, he can't find out why. Let's leave this matter to my grandfather.
Cai Xiang is over [-] years old, healthy and full of energy. He is writing big characters in his study. Calligraphy is the most calming. Whenever Cai Xiang feels restless, he will write a few big characters. Under the influence, he will soon be able to calm down.
Under the guidance of the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the third prince came to the study room. He walked into the study room quietly and stood quietly at the side, admiring his grandfather's calligraphy.
Everyone in the world admires grandfather's calligraphy, and the third prince is also honored.
Cai Xiang stopped what he was doing, picked up the warm wet towel on the table, intervened, and asked, "Your Highness, what do you want to see me at this time?"
He poured two cups of tea and handed one to his grandson. He picked up a cup and took a sip of tea, motioning for his grandson to sit down and talk.
The third prince smiled and said, "Can't I visit my grandfather if nothing happens?"
"Haha, you kid will go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, don't write ink, talk about things if you have something to do." Cai Xiang laughed, it was mid-afternoon, how could his grandson come to him if he had nothing to do?
The third prince immediately turned serious, and got down to business, and told the story of how he discovered Li Xie back and forth, Cai Xiang's expression was quite solemn.
"Grandfather, I'm afraid you will have to check it out. I won't be able to find out more."
"The family is unlucky!" Cai Xiang immediately sighed, gripped the teacup tightly, and put it heavily on the chair beside him.
How dare the third prince answer the words, this is his uncle's business, his grandfather can reprimand his uncle, but he must not say anything bad about his uncle.
Cai Xiang has only one son, that is, Cai Xingjin. He is usually busy with official duties and has no time to teach his son, so his son is doted on by his old wife. I passed the Juren examination, and then failed again.Of course, it's all good, anyway, his old bones are strong, as long as he raises his grandson, the Cai family will never fall.
Cai Xingjin is not considered a womanizer, but besides his wife Luo, there are several other women in the backyard. Among them, the woman Jiang brought back from Jiangnan is the one he loves the most. He especially loves this Aunt Jiang. Forget about his wife and son, if he is not in charge of the family, it is not his turn to make decisions in the Cai Mansion, otherwise the life of the Luo family and his son may be difficult.
About 16 years ago, Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Jiang were pregnant at the same time, with a difference of ten and a half months. However, Mrs. Jiang’s child was a little younger, but they were born on the same day when they gave birth, and Mrs. Luo’s child was the eldest. , Aunt Jiang's child is young.
Of course, if this is the case, that’s all. Anyway, with Cai Xiang here, Aunt Jiang can’t make trouble. One year later, on the day of the child’s first birthday, the whole house celebrated the Zhou banquet for the two young masters. At that time, the three-year-old Cai Jiaming disappeared. After searching the entire Cai Mansion, the child seemed to have disappeared.
Cai Xiang made many investigations, and finally found that the child was carried out of Cai's mansion, and followed up many times in the capital, but he could not find out the whereabouts of the child.
Aunt Jiang fainted several times. She killed her son and was taken away by someone sent by the Luo family, but this is so strange. Cai Xiang did investigate and found out that it was related to the mother next to the Luo family. Unfortunately, the mother was interrogating Shi bites his tongue and commits suicide. There is no definite answer to whether this matter was directed by Luo Shi.
Even though the Luo family said with a livid face that she was not the one who did it, she has two sons by her side, why would she kill a mere bastard?But the bad reputation of endangering the concubine still falls on Luo Shi.But this is another family scandal, and there is no final evidence to prove that it was done by the Luo family, so the Luo family was not severely punished.
Over the years, the Cai Mansion has not given up looking for the third young master Cai Jiaming, but has found nothing, but Aunt Jiang's status in the mansion has not been affected, she has almost been favored by Cai Xingjin, and later gave birth to a daughter, Now they are ten years old, but the three of them are like a family of three. Cai Xingjin has forgotten the serious wife Luo, and even the eldest son Cai Jiachang is not liked by Cai Xingjin. Received the care of Cai Xingjin.
Cai Xiang got some clues about the third grandson from his grandson, so he naturally wouldn't give up. Although he didn't want to see Aunt Jiang, he still couldn't ignore his grandson, so he arranged for someone to investigate.
But this is really a bit of a coincidence, his surname is also Cai, and he is also called Cai Jianian. If he is really his grandson, it will save the trouble of changing his name.
The third prince returned to the palace after leaving the prime minister's mansion. When he went to the harem to pay his respects to the concubine Xian, Emperor Jing Yuan happened to be there too. He originally wanted to tell his mother and concubine about it. Emperor Jing Yuan also knew a thing or two about the family affairs. Cai Wenlun was not the prime minister 16 years ago, but he was also a second-rank official at that time. Everyone with connections in the capital knew this.
"I just said why you have been around a beggar recently, so that's how it is." Emperor Jing Yuan said seriously, what happened around his son, only he didn't want to know, there was nothing he couldn't know.
The third prince broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He scratched his head with a smirk on his face: "If Cai Jianian is really the third cousin, grandfather can rest assured."
Concubine Xian had a proper smile on her face from the beginning to the end, at this moment she said: "The concubine hopes that the child will be Jiaming, and it will take care of my father so that he won't worry about it all the time."
Emperor Jing Yuan nodded, Cai Xiang's family affairs had nothing to do with him, he was in a good mood today, and immediately had a meal with the concubine Xian, accompanied by the third prince, the family of three enjoyed themselves happily.
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't return to the bedroom until it was dark, and he didn't call his concubine to attend the bed. Now he is not in the mood and is still waiting for Wencang's investigation results.
At around Xu time, Emperor Jing Yuan was about to rest. Wen Cang in black came in from the outside with two black-clothed guards in black, and Li Deying, the chief executive, stood guard at the door of the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Xuan Yiwei who went to Jinling is back." Wen Cang had already looked through the report book in his hand, it was a folded book made by two guards, and he presented it to Emperor Jing Yuan with both hands.
Emperor Jing Yuan couldn't wait to pick it up and flip through it. After flipping through, he frowned.
"So we have to ask Aunt He whether that girl is my child." Emperor Jing Yuan said quietly, and after a while he said again: "But that girl looks so much like the third younger sister, so it's no wonder she's not my child."
Wen Cang's expression became a little embarrassed, and the two guards buried their heads very low. In fact, it's best not to get involved in such private matters as His Majesty's.
Back then, Emperor Jingyuan stayed in Fengpei County, Jinling for two days on a business trip. The local county magistrate didn’t know his identity. He went with his cousin and turned into his cousin’s younger brother. For Li Wuye.
In the current Cheng'en Gong Mansion, the Li family in 14 years was also a wealthy and powerful family. Emperor Jing Yuan and his cousin were warmly received by the county magistrate the night they arrived in Fengpei County.
Of course, today, Emperor Jing Yuan has long forgotten the beauty's name and appearance, he only knows that she looks pretty good, and he enjoys this beauty when he is slightly drunk.
Two days later, Emperor Jing Yuan and his cousin left Fengpei County. The next day Xuanping Hou Luobang came to Fengpei County because of something. He was also warmly received by the county magistrate and enjoyed the grace of the beauty. However, he was delayed because of the things he had to do. It was relatively long, so he stayed in Fengpei County for a month. During this month, the beauty served her. When he was about to leave, the beauty was pregnant, so he had no choice but to bring the beauty back to the capital.
At that time, it was the intense period of seizing the heir. Emperor Jingyuan was on a business trip, and Luo Bang was taking advantage of his position to work for his boss. There was a wharf in Fengpei County, and he was picking up a fleet of ships, so he waited for a month. Only then did he finish everything, but he was working for his boss. Before returning to Beijing, his boss and his loyal master were locked up. He was affected a little and was temporarily kept at home, and then it was the beginning of the new year The first emperor passed away in February, and the current emperor ascended the throne as emperor and changed Yuan to Jingyuan. He still waited until the end of the year to return to his original post, and was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War five years later.
The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was hanging in the sky early. The streets and alleys of the capital were very lively, and the birds on the branches sang songs that people couldn't hear.
After the early court, Emperor Jing Yuan called Luo Bang to stop him. Facing this courtier at this moment, Emperor Jing Yuan felt a little guilty. After all, he raised his daughter. It's much better to go downhill.
Luo Bang's heart was flustered, and now that he saluted, he felt as if he had finally arrived!
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't know how to speak, and said directly: "Zi Fang, I don't seem to have been to your house, how about Zi Fang entertaining me at your house today?"
Zifang is Luo Bang's character, and Emperor Jing Yuan's kind language made Luo Bang feel like an enemy, but he could not refuse the emperor's request.
"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"
Immediately, Luo Bang led the emperor back to the Marquis' Mansion. This time, the Xuanyi Guards were still protecting the Emperor's personal safety, but there were not many of them. Except for Wencang, they were among the more than 20 Xuanyi Guards. good hand.
Luo Bang knew that the emperor was a drunkard, and he didn't mean to drink. He guessed that it had something to do with his daughter, so after returning to the Hou Mansion, he asked the housekeeper to serve tea, and sent all the servants of the Hou Mansion back. The entire Xuanping Hou Mansion The front hall was protected airtight by Wen Cang and others.
Emperor Jing Yuan sipped his tea, thinking about how to speak?
And Luo Bang's whole body was tense, he was waiting for the emperor to speak.
And Luo Chuyun, who was originally cultivating himself, was suddenly informed by the system: [Host, the emperor is in the front hall of the Hou Mansion at this moment, but this system cannot get close. I don't know what the emperor and your father are talking about. 】
Luo Chuyun's heartbeat suddenly became abnormal. She adjusted her clothes a little, checked her makeup, and walked towards the front hall, but she was stopped by the butler before she could walk out of the second door.
[Fuck, why are these rules so strict? 】The Gongdou system said that it can still be fun in this way?Although he knew that the ancient rules were strict, his previous two hosts were smooth sailing, so why is it not easy to work in this great dynasty?
Luo Chuyun's face was dark, and the butler said nervously: "Miss, I'm sorry, the master is entertaining distinguished guests at the moment, so please come back, miss."
Luo Chuyun had no choice but to turn around and go back, but she sent her maid Yuan Xiang to watch not far away.
As for the front hall, a quarter of an hour passed. Emperor Jing Yuan tapped his knees with both hands, coughed several times, and finally said: "Zi Fang, not long ago, I saw your fifth daughter in Tantuo Temple. She is really a lovely girl." girl."
Luo Bang's face was paralyzed. When the emperor spoke, he was ready to listen. When he heard the emperor's words, his expression became more tense. He couldn't help but want to scold the emperor for being old and shameless. haven't grown up yet...
"That girl is so cute." Emperor Jing Yuan said several times of cuteness one after another, and then said: "There is such a cute little girl who looks exactly like my third sister in this world, I like it very much."
Emperor Jing Yuan stopped talking here, he looked at Luo Bang with a smile on his face, and Luo Bang was still thinking about the emperor's words carefully, let's not mention cuteness for the time being, everyone has a different opinion, although the fifth girl is a bit worrying, but the father doesn't care. If you think girls are ugly, the fifth girl is really cute.
But what does 'look exactly like my third sister' mean?Luo Bang felt that he couldn't understand, he frowned and looked at Emperor Jing Yuan, and finally said: "Your Majesty, you have something to say."
Emperor Jing Yuan coughed, put his fist on his chin, and said softly: "I can't even believe that a strange little girl looks exactly like my third sister, so I investigated Wu Yatou's life experience, ahem, and found that Wu Yatou should be My child."
Finally said these words, Emperor Jing Yuan looked at Luo Bang's face cracked and changed suddenly.
Luo Bang immediately got up from the kneeling state, his whole face was black, his breathing was uneven, and his fists were tightly clenched. He turned and walked out of the front hall, called the butler over, whispered a few words, and asked him to go to Miaoyun Xuan invited Aunt He to the front hall.
Aunt He didn't know, so she had to come when the master summoned her. Before he arrived, Luo Bang looked at Emperor Jing Yuan, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please rest behind the screen."
As an emperor, this was the first time that Emperor Jing Yuan felt guilty towards his ministers, and naturally he would not refuse Luo Bang's request.
When Aunt He came to the front hall, she felt weird in her heart. What happened to the five-step guards outside?The guard in Xuanyi is definitely not from the Hou Mansion, it is from the distinguished guest brought here, but why did the master ask her to come see the distinguished guest?Thinking of a possibility, Aunt He felt sad. Could it be that more than ten years have passed, and she still wants to go back to the old way?
She slowly entered the front hall, only seeing the master, she bowed to the master, "My concubine greets the master."
Luo Bang stared at her with a cracked and weird expression. It took him a long time to calm down and asked, "Mr. He, let me ask you, is Wu'er my child?"
What he said immediately made Aunt He's face pale, and she slowly fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground with a panicked expression.
Luo Bang then bent his knees, stared at Aunt He, and asked word by word: "Yes, or not?"
Aunt He's lips trembled, and she said after a while, "Probably not."
"What does it mean should not be?" Yes is yes, no is no, why should it not be?
Aunt He simply closed her eyes, took a deep breath before opening her eyes, stared straight ahead, her eyes were out of focus, and said: "Master should know the origin of this concubine, who was originally bought by the county magistrate to serve all distinguished guests. Two days before the master arrived in Fengpei County, two distinguished guests came. My concubine waited on one of them named Li Wuye. After serving him for two days, he left. After the master arrived in Fengpei County, the county magistrate again Sending a concubine to serve the master, one month later the concubine became pregnant, at the time the concubine thought it was the master's child, after all, the concubine served the master for a month..."
Luo Bang frowned, Mr. Li Wu?His Majesty is indeed ranked fifth, and Li is the Queen Mother's surname, so Li Wuye is His Majesty today.
"But after Manman was born, she didn't look like Master. The older she got, the more she didn't resemble Master. Only then did I realize that Manman was not Master's child." Aunt He kowtowed and said with trembling voice. She fell to the ground with a sincere voice. He begged: "Please don't drive my concubine and Manman away, my concubine and Manman have no other place to go."
A third person coughed in the room, Emperor Jing Yuan turned around and walked out from behind the screen, Aunt He didn't dare to look up, she kept kneeling on the ground.
Luo Bang's face was paralyzed, he bowed to Emperor Jing Yuan, lowered his eyes, and then took a step back slightly.
"Ahem, Zifang, I'm sorry, I asked you to help me raise my child for more than ten years." Emperor Jing Yuan's small eyes fluttered and fell on Aunt He who was on the ground.
Aunt He was shocked. When she looked up, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face. She looked at Luo Bang in panic. At this moment, in her mind, Luo Bang was more trustworthy.
Emperor Jing Yuan helped Aunt He up, Aunt He was completely at a loss, she didn't know how to place her hands, she moved her steps, and moved a little away from Emperor Jing Yuan.
At this moment, Aunt He hasn't found out the identity of Emperor Jing Yuan yet. She just thinks that Manman's biological father named Li Wuye has found him. As for how he found him, she hasn't had time to think about it.
Luo Bang didn't know how to respond to the emperor's words. Could it be that you are welcome?He is not so forgiving, even if he is the emperor.
"Manman, I must take it away." Emperor Jing Yuan's expression became a little serious, one is because of his own flesh and blood, no matter what, he has to take care of himself, and the other is for the queen mother, he hopes that the queen mother will take care of her after seeing Manman. , the mood can get better, not as addicted to the past as it is now.
At this moment, Aunt He understood what Emperor Jing Yuan said, she covered her mouth in shock, and at a loss, she had no choice but to look at Luo Bang, Luo Bang's face was paralyzed, what could he say?
Luo Bang's eyes drifted away, his mind was full of memories about Manman, and it was only at this time that he realized that Manman before the age of five did not have many memories in his mind.
In fact, he was partial. If she hadn't been mischievous, he might not have remembered that he had her as a daughter.
"I asked someone to bring Wu'er out." His voice was choked up, and then he walked out of the front hall and called the butler. The butler dispatched again and came to Furongxuan, bringing Luo Chuman who had been competing with the bamboo flute all along.
Manman followed the housekeeper to the front hall, but the housekeeper stopped at the second door, and her two maidservants were also stopped. She poked her head and took a look, her head was confused, her eyes rolled around, what did the old man think again? do what?
She jumped into the front hall and saw the people in the room with their mouths wide open and their eyes rolling. They knelt down and saluted slowly: "My daughter, see Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
Both Emperor Jing Yuan and Luo Bang looked at Aunt He, and Aunt He reached out her hand before coming over to help her daughter up and to the side.
"Manman, Auntie is going to tell you something." Auntie He didn't know how to speak. She never thought that this matter would be exposed, so she never thought of telling her daughter, unless she was dying. Might have told my daughter about it.
Manman felt that the atmosphere among the emperor, the old man, and the aunt was a little weird. She looked suspiciously at the emperor, then at the old man, and finally her eyes fell on the old man, and she winked at him. What happened?
Luo Bang lowered his eyes, he was indeed biased, but it cannot be said that he had no feelings for Wu Yatou, thinking that she was not his daughter, he also felt sour.
Aunt He thought it over and over again, but she didn't know how to speak, it was too sudden.
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't urge him, anyway, he had one day, and he would bring his daughter back to the palace today. As for the series of problems that would arise, that was not a problem.
"Manman, Auntie wants to tell you one thing, that is, you are not the master's own daughter, you are His Majesty's own daughter." To be honest, Auntie He was still a little erratic about the fact that her daughter suddenly became a princess. The status of a concubine in the Hou family is already very noble, but she doesn't want her daughter to be the emperor's daughter, she is a real princess.
Manman's small mouth opened even more rounded, and the expression on her face became more exaggerated, "Auntie, are you joking? Why am I not the old man's daughter? Even if the old man is always biased, he can't deny me!"
She laughed, and the laughter spread far away. The housekeeper at the second gate and Yuan Xiang at the gate of the inner courtyard could hear it clearly, but seeing the expressions of the three people in the room were a little embarrassed and very serious, she gradually put them away. smile.
She came in front of Luo Bang, pouted and patted Luo Bang's arm, mumbling: "Old man, what are you talking about? Auntie is joking, right? Even if you don't like me, you can't sell me? I Knowing that you despise me, despise my aunt, I will please you without Aunt Mo, and despise me, I am not as beautiful as my third sister... It's fine if you despise me, but don't make such jokes, okay? Even if you despise me, I don't despise you It's alright..."
Luo Bang lowered his head, and his arms were bulging where he couldn't see. He actually wanted to reach out and hug this chattering girl, and he wanted to say that he didn't dislike her...
Emperor Jing Yuan moved his lips...
Manman pursed her mouth, sat down on the ground, and began to cry loudly, with tears and snot running down her nose, while crying and burying Luo Bang and Emperor Jing Yuan.
"I knew that you have so many daughters, old man, not one more than me. You must have thought I was annoying and wanted to send me away a long time ago. It's too much if you don't see me, but you want to give me away. Still Your Majesty, you have sons and daughters, why do you want to snatch other people's daughters... woo woo woo..."
Aunt He secretly glanced at Emperor Jing Yuan and Luo Bang, both of them looked very conflicted, at this moment, she didn't know what to say, it was her fault, but what could she do?
If you don't hide the master, what will happen to her and Manman?She herself is in prison, but she doesn't want her daughter to fall into that kind of situation. It is a stain on a woman's life, and no matter how hard she washes it, she can't wash it off.
Aunt He was sold to the county magistrate by her mother and elder brother. If the county magistrate had not bought her, she would have fallen into a brothel. I am afraid that her fate would be worse than falling into the hands of the county magistrate. She is very grateful to the master for the situation. When she was pregnant, she always prayed for the child to be the master's child when she was pregnant. She went out so that no one would expose her, but unexpectedly, Manman's life experience was exposed.
After Yuan Xiang heard Fifth Girl's voice, she immediately ran back to the yard to report to her own girl. Luo Chuyun was so angry that Five Buddhas ascended to heaven and there was nothing he could do, because she couldn't get out of the backyard.
[System, what do you think His Majesty summoned that girl Luo Chuman for? ] Luo Chuyun gritted her teeth and said authentically, no matter how she guessed, she couldn't guess.
The Gongdou system also faltered at this time, and it said wearily: [Host, I'm sorry, where the emperor is, this system can't get too close, so I can't know what they are talking about. 】
Luo Churan, Luo Chuyu, and Luo Chulan also learned from the maid that a distinguished guest came to the mansion, and the master called Aunt He, mother and daughter to meet the guest, is this strange?
In the backyard of Marquis Xuanping's mansion, everyone from the old lady Lu Shi to the maids are curious, what did the master ask Aunt He and Fifth Miss to do when the master sees a distinguished guest?
Aunt He picked up the handkerchief, knelt down/stood down and wiped her daughter's face, her face was full of tears and snot from her sleeves, she didn't look like a lady from the Hou family at all, her eyes were swollen.
Manman hiccupped from crying, and the crying finally quieted down, but Emperor Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Don't cry anymore?" It's annoying, but at the moment he thinks this girl is quite interesting.
Aunt He hugged her daughter in her arms, leaned into her arms, and sobbed, "I want to cry!" Then the voice was amplified several times, and the corners of Emperor Jing Yuan's mouth twitched.
Luo Bang's lips moved, this time he had calmed down, and he knelt on the ground: "I have neglected the princess before, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
What answered him was Manman's crying that suddenly increased, "Did you want to kick me out a long time ago?"
"I don't dare!" Luo Bang said in a deep voice, some things are precious only when they are missed, but if they are lost, they are lost, and there is no way to make up for them.
Emperor Jing Yuan frowned slightly, took two steps, and came to Aunt He's side. He bent slightly, patted Man Man's head, and asked, "Isn't it good to go back to the palace with me?"
Manman pursed her lips, grabbed her aunt's skirt, and looked at him with her small eyes: "Do I have to go with you?"
Emperor Jing Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of a smile: "For sure, to be my princess, you are the jewel in my palm."
"What about my aunt?" Manman looked up at her aunt, she hugged her tightly, and said nervously, "I won't be separated from my aunt."
Emperor Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Of course, I will make your aunt a concubine." It's not a queen, it's just a concubine anyway, it's not a big deal.
Manman leaned on her aunt's shoulder and glanced at the old man, tears streaming down her face, then turned her head to look at the new biological father, wiped away her tears, and nodded: "Okay."
Now that the little girl was settled, after Aunt He and Man Man had changed their clothes and put some makeup on their faces, Emperor Jing Yuan took the mother and daughter back to the palace.
As for Manman and Aunt He's belongings, let Luo Bang send a servant girl to tidy them up, Wencang will keep them, and just bring them into the palace when the time comes.
However, Manman's four servant girls, Caifeng and Caishuang, will enter the palace together. Caiwen and Caiyan have family members in the mansion, so they will not be brought into the palace.The servants served by Aunt He's side only brought the unencumbered mother. The two servant girls and other servants of Miao Yunxuan were not taken away. After all, they were from the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and they had family members in the Hou Mansion. Palace is not suitable.
So here in Xihuai Lane, Lixie and the others have entered a very formal life mode, reading books, making handicrafts, and of course, Lixie would stroll outside Xuanpinghou's mansion every evening at dusk. He wanted to break into Yaoyao's boudoir, but he felt that if he broke in, he would be treated as a disciple by Yaoyao, so he had no choice but to hold back his feelings and slowly wait for her chance to go out.But the time was wrong, during this time Xuanpinghou Mansion was at the cusp of the capital, and the female relatives were not going out, so he had no chance to see her at all.
In the tea house opposite the dental shop two streets away from Xihuai Lane, the steward of the dental shop carried a stack of ledgers to report the accounts to the master, and the steward left after reporting the affairs of the dental shop.
The young man in white brocade clothes, with his back to the stairs, was thinking about something while looking at the water drops falling from the eaves. He was 17 years old, and most men in this dynasty married around 20 years old, so he was not very old, but he It's a prince, get married and start a business. This is an old saying. Only after he gets married, the courtiers will not look at him as a child. He thinks that the second brother is a bit stupid. If the second brother decides to choose a concubine last year and gets married this year, he You can accumulate capital faster than his younger brothers, but he postponed it. Are you stupid or not?
Not long after, a young man in black came up from downstairs. After bowing and saluting, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it is not easy to find out about Cai Jianian. He is a beggar who wandered to the capital from other places five months ago. A few months ago, he was rescued by Lao Caitou and Cai Chengen because of a dispute over food among beggars, so the three of them hugged together. Not long ago, Cai Chengen fell ill and had a severe fever. At that time, they lived in a room outside the city. The ruined temple, Cai Jianian and Lao Cai were desperate, and took Cai Chengen to Dr. Lin in Liujiazhuang to see a doctor. Under Dr. Lin's treatment, Cai Chengen's fever disappeared the next day. It is said that Cai Jianian entered Wangfengshan and followed Wangfengshan. The pheasant was handed over to Dr. Lin. That afternoon, Cai Jianian went to the city and sold a 50-year-old ginseng in a drugstore.
The subordinate in black paused and said, "According to Cai Jianian himself, he was a beggar when he was ten years old. I can’t find out what happened a month ago, and these sporadic things were leaked to those beggars by Cai Jianian himself.”
After the subordinate in black finished speaking, Young Master Jinyi waved his hand, and said after a while: "I see, do you have a chance to get in touch with him? Maybe you can find some marks on his body? For example, a more obvious birthmark."
"The subordinates are incompetent. Brothers can't get close to Cai Jianian. He seems to be very vigilant. Brothers dare not approach him within five meters, otherwise they will definitely be discovered." The subordinate in black said in shame.
He hurriedly said again: "However, Your Highness, Cai Jianian's behavior these days is quite strange. He sent two little beggars to supervise the Xuanpinghou Mansion before. I went to Tantuo Temple that afternoon, but at that time Tantuo Temple had deputy commander Wencang and other Xuanyi guards surveying the terrain, and the brothers didn't go in. I don't know who he met after he entered Tantuo Temple. In the past few days, In addition to inviting a scholar to teach them how to read and practice calligraphy, he would go around the Xuanpinghou Mansion every evening."
"Huh, Xuanpinghou Mansion?" Young Master Jinyi turned around, his face was that of the Third Prince, he asked in surprise: "What is he related to the young lady of Xuanpinghou Mansion?"
The subordinate in black shook his head repeatedly, and the third prince was pacing in the room. After a while, he glanced at the sky outside and said, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The prime minister's mansion is the right prime minister Cai Wenlun Cai's mansion. Cai Xiang is the grandfather of the third prince. The third prince's mother and concubine Xianfei is Cai Xiang's concubine daughter. The third prince feels that after investigating for so long, he can't find out why. Let's leave this matter to my grandfather.
Cai Xiang is over [-] years old, healthy and full of energy. He is writing big characters in his study. Calligraphy is the most calming. Whenever Cai Xiang feels restless, he will write a few big characters. Under the influence, he will soon be able to calm down.
Under the guidance of the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the third prince came to the study room. He walked into the study room quietly and stood quietly at the side, admiring his grandfather's calligraphy.
Everyone in the world admires grandfather's calligraphy, and the third prince is also honored.
Cai Xiang stopped what he was doing, picked up the warm wet towel on the table, intervened, and asked, "Your Highness, what do you want to see me at this time?"
He poured two cups of tea and handed one to his grandson. He picked up a cup and took a sip of tea, motioning for his grandson to sit down and talk.
The third prince smiled and said, "Can't I visit my grandfather if nothing happens?"
"Haha, you kid will go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, don't write ink, talk about things if you have something to do." Cai Xiang laughed, it was mid-afternoon, how could his grandson come to him if he had nothing to do?
The third prince immediately turned serious, and got down to business, and told the story of how he discovered Li Xie back and forth, Cai Xiang's expression was quite solemn.
"Grandfather, I'm afraid you will have to check it out. I won't be able to find out more."
"The family is unlucky!" Cai Xiang immediately sighed, gripped the teacup tightly, and put it heavily on the chair beside him.
How dare the third prince answer the words, this is his uncle's business, his grandfather can reprimand his uncle, but he must not say anything bad about his uncle.
Cai Xiang has only one son, that is, Cai Xingjin. He is usually busy with official duties and has no time to teach his son, so his son is doted on by his old wife. I passed the Juren examination, and then failed again.Of course, it's all good, anyway, his old bones are strong, as long as he raises his grandson, the Cai family will never fall.
Cai Xingjin is not considered a womanizer, but besides his wife Luo, there are several other women in the backyard. Among them, the woman Jiang brought back from Jiangnan is the one he loves the most. He especially loves this Aunt Jiang. Forget about his wife and son, if he is not in charge of the family, it is not his turn to make decisions in the Cai Mansion, otherwise the life of the Luo family and his son may be difficult.
About 16 years ago, Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Jiang were pregnant at the same time, with a difference of ten and a half months. However, Mrs. Jiang’s child was a little younger, but they were born on the same day when they gave birth, and Mrs. Luo’s child was the eldest. , Aunt Jiang's child is young.
Of course, if this is the case, that’s all. Anyway, with Cai Xiang here, Aunt Jiang can’t make trouble. One year later, on the day of the child’s first birthday, the whole house celebrated the Zhou banquet for the two young masters. At that time, the three-year-old Cai Jiaming disappeared. After searching the entire Cai Mansion, the child seemed to have disappeared.
Cai Xiang made many investigations, and finally found that the child was carried out of Cai's mansion, and followed up many times in the capital, but he could not find out the whereabouts of the child.
Aunt Jiang fainted several times. She killed her son and was taken away by someone sent by the Luo family, but this is so strange. Cai Xiang did investigate and found out that it was related to the mother next to the Luo family. Unfortunately, the mother was interrogating Shi bites his tongue and commits suicide. There is no definite answer to whether this matter was directed by Luo Shi.
Even though the Luo family said with a livid face that she was not the one who did it, she has two sons by her side, why would she kill a mere bastard?But the bad reputation of endangering the concubine still falls on Luo Shi.But this is another family scandal, and there is no final evidence to prove that it was done by the Luo family, so the Luo family was not severely punished.
Over the years, the Cai Mansion has not given up looking for the third young master Cai Jiaming, but has found nothing, but Aunt Jiang's status in the mansion has not been affected, she has almost been favored by Cai Xingjin, and later gave birth to a daughter, Now they are ten years old, but the three of them are like a family of three. Cai Xingjin has forgotten the serious wife Luo, and even the eldest son Cai Jiachang is not liked by Cai Xingjin. Received the care of Cai Xingjin.
Cai Xiang got some clues about the third grandson from his grandson, so he naturally wouldn't give up. Although he didn't want to see Aunt Jiang, he still couldn't ignore his grandson, so he arranged for someone to investigate.
But this is really a bit of a coincidence, his surname is also Cai, and he is also called Cai Jianian. If he is really his grandson, it will save the trouble of changing his name.
The third prince returned to the palace after leaving the prime minister's mansion. When he went to the harem to pay his respects to the concubine Xian, Emperor Jing Yuan happened to be there too. He originally wanted to tell his mother and concubine about it. Emperor Jing Yuan also knew a thing or two about the family affairs. Cai Wenlun was not the prime minister 16 years ago, but he was also a second-rank official at that time. Everyone with connections in the capital knew this.
"I just said why you have been around a beggar recently, so that's how it is." Emperor Jing Yuan said seriously, what happened around his son, only he didn't want to know, there was nothing he couldn't know.
The third prince broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He scratched his head with a smirk on his face: "If Cai Jianian is really the third cousin, grandfather can rest assured."
Concubine Xian had a proper smile on her face from the beginning to the end, at this moment she said: "The concubine hopes that the child will be Jiaming, and it will take care of my father so that he won't worry about it all the time."
Emperor Jing Yuan nodded, Cai Xiang's family affairs had nothing to do with him, he was in a good mood today, and immediately had a meal with the concubine Xian, accompanied by the third prince, the family of three enjoyed themselves happily.
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't return to the bedroom until it was dark, and he didn't call his concubine to attend the bed. Now he is not in the mood and is still waiting for Wencang's investigation results.
At around Xu time, Emperor Jing Yuan was about to rest. Wen Cang in black came in from the outside with two black-clothed guards in black, and Li Deying, the chief executive, stood guard at the door of the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Xuan Yiwei who went to Jinling is back." Wen Cang had already looked through the report book in his hand, it was a folded book made by two guards, and he presented it to Emperor Jing Yuan with both hands.
Emperor Jing Yuan couldn't wait to pick it up and flip through it. After flipping through, he frowned.
"So we have to ask Aunt He whether that girl is my child." Emperor Jing Yuan said quietly, and after a while he said again: "But that girl looks so much like the third younger sister, so it's no wonder she's not my child."
Wen Cang's expression became a little embarrassed, and the two guards buried their heads very low. In fact, it's best not to get involved in such private matters as His Majesty's.
Back then, Emperor Jingyuan stayed in Fengpei County, Jinling for two days on a business trip. The local county magistrate didn’t know his identity. He went with his cousin and turned into his cousin’s younger brother. For Li Wuye.
In the current Cheng'en Gong Mansion, the Li family in 14 years was also a wealthy and powerful family. Emperor Jing Yuan and his cousin were warmly received by the county magistrate the night they arrived in Fengpei County.
Of course, today, Emperor Jing Yuan has long forgotten the beauty's name and appearance, he only knows that she looks pretty good, and he enjoys this beauty when he is slightly drunk.
Two days later, Emperor Jing Yuan and his cousin left Fengpei County. The next day Xuanping Hou Luobang came to Fengpei County because of something. He was also warmly received by the county magistrate and enjoyed the grace of the beauty. However, he was delayed because of the things he had to do. It was relatively long, so he stayed in Fengpei County for a month. During this month, the beauty served her. When he was about to leave, the beauty was pregnant, so he had no choice but to bring the beauty back to the capital.
At that time, it was the intense period of seizing the heir. Emperor Jingyuan was on a business trip, and Luo Bang was taking advantage of his position to work for his boss. There was a wharf in Fengpei County, and he was picking up a fleet of ships, so he waited for a month. Only then did he finish everything, but he was working for his boss. Before returning to Beijing, his boss and his loyal master were locked up. He was affected a little and was temporarily kept at home, and then it was the beginning of the new year The first emperor passed away in February, and the current emperor ascended the throne as emperor and changed Yuan to Jingyuan. He still waited until the end of the year to return to his original post, and was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War five years later.
The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was hanging in the sky early. The streets and alleys of the capital were very lively, and the birds on the branches sang songs that people couldn't hear.
After the early court, Emperor Jing Yuan called Luo Bang to stop him. Facing this courtier at this moment, Emperor Jing Yuan felt a little guilty. After all, he raised his daughter. It's much better to go downhill.
Luo Bang's heart was flustered, and now that he saluted, he felt as if he had finally arrived!
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't know how to speak, and said directly: "Zi Fang, I don't seem to have been to your house, how about Zi Fang entertaining me at your house today?"
Zifang is Luo Bang's character, and Emperor Jing Yuan's kind language made Luo Bang feel like an enemy, but he could not refuse the emperor's request.
"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"
Immediately, Luo Bang led the emperor back to the Marquis' Mansion. This time, the Xuanyi Guards were still protecting the Emperor's personal safety, but there were not many of them. Except for Wencang, they were among the more than 20 Xuanyi Guards. good hand.
Luo Bang knew that the emperor was a drunkard, and he didn't mean to drink. He guessed that it had something to do with his daughter, so after returning to the Hou Mansion, he asked the housekeeper to serve tea, and sent all the servants of the Hou Mansion back. The entire Xuanping Hou Mansion The front hall was protected airtight by Wen Cang and others.
Emperor Jing Yuan sipped his tea, thinking about how to speak?
And Luo Bang's whole body was tense, he was waiting for the emperor to speak.
And Luo Chuyun, who was originally cultivating himself, was suddenly informed by the system: [Host, the emperor is in the front hall of the Hou Mansion at this moment, but this system cannot get close. I don't know what the emperor and your father are talking about. 】
Luo Chuyun's heartbeat suddenly became abnormal. She adjusted her clothes a little, checked her makeup, and walked towards the front hall, but she was stopped by the butler before she could walk out of the second door.
[Fuck, why are these rules so strict? 】The Gongdou system said that it can still be fun in this way?Although he knew that the ancient rules were strict, his previous two hosts were smooth sailing, so why is it not easy to work in this great dynasty?
Luo Chuyun's face was dark, and the butler said nervously: "Miss, I'm sorry, the master is entertaining distinguished guests at the moment, so please come back, miss."
Luo Chuyun had no choice but to turn around and go back, but she sent her maid Yuan Xiang to watch not far away.
As for the front hall, a quarter of an hour passed. Emperor Jing Yuan tapped his knees with both hands, coughed several times, and finally said: "Zi Fang, not long ago, I saw your fifth daughter in Tantuo Temple. She is really a lovely girl." girl."
Luo Bang's face was paralyzed. When the emperor spoke, he was ready to listen. When he heard the emperor's words, his expression became more tense. He couldn't help but want to scold the emperor for being old and shameless. haven't grown up yet...
"That girl is so cute." Emperor Jing Yuan said several times of cuteness one after another, and then said: "There is such a cute little girl who looks exactly like my third sister in this world, I like it very much."
Emperor Jing Yuan stopped talking here, he looked at Luo Bang with a smile on his face, and Luo Bang was still thinking about the emperor's words carefully, let's not mention cuteness for the time being, everyone has a different opinion, although the fifth girl is a bit worrying, but the father doesn't care. If you think girls are ugly, the fifth girl is really cute.
But what does 'look exactly like my third sister' mean?Luo Bang felt that he couldn't understand, he frowned and looked at Emperor Jing Yuan, and finally said: "Your Majesty, you have something to say."
Emperor Jing Yuan coughed, put his fist on his chin, and said softly: "I can't even believe that a strange little girl looks exactly like my third sister, so I investigated Wu Yatou's life experience, ahem, and found that Wu Yatou should be My child."
Finally said these words, Emperor Jing Yuan looked at Luo Bang's face cracked and changed suddenly.
Luo Bang immediately got up from the kneeling state, his whole face was black, his breathing was uneven, and his fists were tightly clenched. He turned and walked out of the front hall, called the butler over, whispered a few words, and asked him to go to Miaoyun Xuan invited Aunt He to the front hall.
Aunt He didn't know, so she had to come when the master summoned her. Before he arrived, Luo Bang looked at Emperor Jing Yuan, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please rest behind the screen."
As an emperor, this was the first time that Emperor Jing Yuan felt guilty towards his ministers, and naturally he would not refuse Luo Bang's request.
When Aunt He came to the front hall, she felt weird in her heart. What happened to the five-step guards outside?The guard in Xuanyi is definitely not from the Hou Mansion, it is from the distinguished guest brought here, but why did the master ask her to come see the distinguished guest?Thinking of a possibility, Aunt He felt sad. Could it be that more than ten years have passed, and she still wants to go back to the old way?
She slowly entered the front hall, only seeing the master, she bowed to the master, "My concubine greets the master."
Luo Bang stared at her with a cracked and weird expression. It took him a long time to calm down and asked, "Mr. He, let me ask you, is Wu'er my child?"
What he said immediately made Aunt He's face pale, and she slowly fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground with a panicked expression.
Luo Bang then bent his knees, stared at Aunt He, and asked word by word: "Yes, or not?"
Aunt He's lips trembled, and she said after a while, "Probably not."
"What does it mean should not be?" Yes is yes, no is no, why should it not be?
Aunt He simply closed her eyes, took a deep breath before opening her eyes, stared straight ahead, her eyes were out of focus, and said: "Master should know the origin of this concubine, who was originally bought by the county magistrate to serve all distinguished guests. Two days before the master arrived in Fengpei County, two distinguished guests came. My concubine waited on one of them named Li Wuye. After serving him for two days, he left. After the master arrived in Fengpei County, the county magistrate again Sending a concubine to serve the master, one month later the concubine became pregnant, at the time the concubine thought it was the master's child, after all, the concubine served the master for a month..."
Luo Bang frowned, Mr. Li Wu?His Majesty is indeed ranked fifth, and Li is the Queen Mother's surname, so Li Wuye is His Majesty today.
"But after Manman was born, she didn't look like Master. The older she got, the more she didn't resemble Master. Only then did I realize that Manman was not Master's child." Aunt He kowtowed and said with trembling voice. She fell to the ground with a sincere voice. He begged: "Please don't drive my concubine and Manman away, my concubine and Manman have no other place to go."
A third person coughed in the room, Emperor Jing Yuan turned around and walked out from behind the screen, Aunt He didn't dare to look up, she kept kneeling on the ground.
Luo Bang's face was paralyzed, he bowed to Emperor Jing Yuan, lowered his eyes, and then took a step back slightly.
"Ahem, Zifang, I'm sorry, I asked you to help me raise my child for more than ten years." Emperor Jing Yuan's small eyes fluttered and fell on Aunt He who was on the ground.
Aunt He was shocked. When she looked up, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face. She looked at Luo Bang in panic. At this moment, in her mind, Luo Bang was more trustworthy.
Emperor Jing Yuan helped Aunt He up, Aunt He was completely at a loss, she didn't know how to place her hands, she moved her steps, and moved a little away from Emperor Jing Yuan.
At this moment, Aunt He hasn't found out the identity of Emperor Jing Yuan yet. She just thinks that Manman's biological father named Li Wuye has found him. As for how he found him, she hasn't had time to think about it.
Luo Bang didn't know how to respond to the emperor's words. Could it be that you are welcome?He is not so forgiving, even if he is the emperor.
"Manman, I must take it away." Emperor Jing Yuan's expression became a little serious, one is because of his own flesh and blood, no matter what, he has to take care of himself, and the other is for the queen mother, he hopes that the queen mother will take care of her after seeing Manman. , the mood can get better, not as addicted to the past as it is now.
At this moment, Aunt He understood what Emperor Jing Yuan said, she covered her mouth in shock, and at a loss, she had no choice but to look at Luo Bang, Luo Bang's face was paralyzed, what could he say?
Luo Bang's eyes drifted away, his mind was full of memories about Manman, and it was only at this time that he realized that Manman before the age of five did not have many memories in his mind.
In fact, he was partial. If she hadn't been mischievous, he might not have remembered that he had her as a daughter.
"I asked someone to bring Wu'er out." His voice was choked up, and then he walked out of the front hall and called the butler. The butler dispatched again and came to Furongxuan, bringing Luo Chuman who had been competing with the bamboo flute all along.
Manman followed the housekeeper to the front hall, but the housekeeper stopped at the second door, and her two maidservants were also stopped. She poked her head and took a look, her head was confused, her eyes rolled around, what did the old man think again? do what?
She jumped into the front hall and saw the people in the room with their mouths wide open and their eyes rolling. They knelt down and saluted slowly: "My daughter, see Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."
Both Emperor Jing Yuan and Luo Bang looked at Aunt He, and Aunt He reached out her hand before coming over to help her daughter up and to the side.
"Manman, Auntie is going to tell you something." Auntie He didn't know how to speak. She never thought that this matter would be exposed, so she never thought of telling her daughter, unless she was dying. Might have told my daughter about it.
Manman felt that the atmosphere among the emperor, the old man, and the aunt was a little weird. She looked suspiciously at the emperor, then at the old man, and finally her eyes fell on the old man, and she winked at him. What happened?
Luo Bang lowered his eyes, he was indeed biased, but it cannot be said that he had no feelings for Wu Yatou, thinking that she was not his daughter, he also felt sour.
Aunt He thought it over and over again, but she didn't know how to speak, it was too sudden.
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't urge him, anyway, he had one day, and he would bring his daughter back to the palace today. As for the series of problems that would arise, that was not a problem.
"Manman, Auntie wants to tell you one thing, that is, you are not the master's own daughter, you are His Majesty's own daughter." To be honest, Auntie He was still a little erratic about the fact that her daughter suddenly became a princess. The status of a concubine in the Hou family is already very noble, but she doesn't want her daughter to be the emperor's daughter, she is a real princess.
Manman's small mouth opened even more rounded, and the expression on her face became more exaggerated, "Auntie, are you joking? Why am I not the old man's daughter? Even if the old man is always biased, he can't deny me!"
She laughed, and the laughter spread far away. The housekeeper at the second gate and Yuan Xiang at the gate of the inner courtyard could hear it clearly, but seeing the expressions of the three people in the room were a little embarrassed and very serious, she gradually put them away. smile.
She came in front of Luo Bang, pouted and patted Luo Bang's arm, mumbling: "Old man, what are you talking about? Auntie is joking, right? Even if you don't like me, you can't sell me? I Knowing that you despise me, despise my aunt, I will please you without Aunt Mo, and despise me, I am not as beautiful as my third sister... It's fine if you despise me, but don't make such jokes, okay? Even if you despise me, I don't despise you It's alright..."
Luo Bang lowered his head, and his arms were bulging where he couldn't see. He actually wanted to reach out and hug this chattering girl, and he wanted to say that he didn't dislike her...
Emperor Jing Yuan moved his lips...
Manman pursed her mouth, sat down on the ground, and began to cry loudly, with tears and snot running down her nose, while crying and burying Luo Bang and Emperor Jing Yuan.
"I knew that you have so many daughters, old man, not one more than me. You must have thought I was annoying and wanted to send me away a long time ago. It's too much if you don't see me, but you want to give me away. Still Your Majesty, you have sons and daughters, why do you want to snatch other people's daughters... woo woo woo..."
Aunt He secretly glanced at Emperor Jing Yuan and Luo Bang, both of them looked very conflicted, at this moment, she didn't know what to say, it was her fault, but what could she do?
If you don't hide the master, what will happen to her and Manman?She herself is in prison, but she doesn't want her daughter to fall into that kind of situation. It is a stain on a woman's life, and no matter how hard she washes it, she can't wash it off.
Aunt He was sold to the county magistrate by her mother and elder brother. If the county magistrate had not bought her, she would have fallen into a brothel. I am afraid that her fate would be worse than falling into the hands of the county magistrate. She is very grateful to the master for the situation. When she was pregnant, she always prayed for the child to be the master's child when she was pregnant. She went out so that no one would expose her, but unexpectedly, Manman's life experience was exposed.
After Yuan Xiang heard Fifth Girl's voice, she immediately ran back to the yard to report to her own girl. Luo Chuyun was so angry that Five Buddhas ascended to heaven and there was nothing he could do, because she couldn't get out of the backyard.
[System, what do you think His Majesty summoned that girl Luo Chuman for? ] Luo Chuyun gritted her teeth and said authentically, no matter how she guessed, she couldn't guess.
The Gongdou system also faltered at this time, and it said wearily: [Host, I'm sorry, where the emperor is, this system can't get too close, so I can't know what they are talking about. 】
Luo Churan, Luo Chuyu, and Luo Chulan also learned from the maid that a distinguished guest came to the mansion, and the master called Aunt He, mother and daughter to meet the guest, is this strange?
In the backyard of Marquis Xuanping's mansion, everyone from the old lady Lu Shi to the maids are curious, what did the master ask Aunt He and Fifth Miss to do when the master sees a distinguished guest?
Aunt He picked up the handkerchief, knelt down/stood down and wiped her daughter's face, her face was full of tears and snot from her sleeves, she didn't look like a lady from the Hou family at all, her eyes were swollen.
Manman hiccupped from crying, and the crying finally quieted down, but Emperor Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Don't cry anymore?" It's annoying, but at the moment he thinks this girl is quite interesting.
Aunt He hugged her daughter in her arms, leaned into her arms, and sobbed, "I want to cry!" Then the voice was amplified several times, and the corners of Emperor Jing Yuan's mouth twitched.
Luo Bang's lips moved, this time he had calmed down, and he knelt on the ground: "I have neglected the princess before, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
What answered him was Manman's crying that suddenly increased, "Did you want to kick me out a long time ago?"
"I don't dare!" Luo Bang said in a deep voice, some things are precious only when they are missed, but if they are lost, they are lost, and there is no way to make up for them.
Emperor Jing Yuan frowned slightly, took two steps, and came to Aunt He's side. He bent slightly, patted Man Man's head, and asked, "Isn't it good to go back to the palace with me?"
Manman pursed her lips, grabbed her aunt's skirt, and looked at him with her small eyes: "Do I have to go with you?"
Emperor Jing Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of a smile: "For sure, to be my princess, you are the jewel in my palm."
"What about my aunt?" Manman looked up at her aunt, she hugged her tightly, and said nervously, "I won't be separated from my aunt."
Emperor Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Of course, I will make your aunt a concubine." It's not a queen, it's just a concubine anyway, it's not a big deal.
Manman leaned on her aunt's shoulder and glanced at the old man, tears streaming down her face, then turned her head to look at the new biological father, wiped away her tears, and nodded: "Okay."
Now that the little girl was settled, after Aunt He and Man Man had changed their clothes and put some makeup on their faces, Emperor Jing Yuan took the mother and daughter back to the palace.
As for Manman and Aunt He's belongings, let Luo Bang send a servant girl to tidy them up, Wencang will keep them, and just bring them into the palace when the time comes.
However, Manman's four servant girls, Caifeng and Caishuang, will enter the palace together. Caiwen and Caiyan have family members in the mansion, so they will not be brought into the palace.The servants served by Aunt He's side only brought the unencumbered mother. The two servant girls and other servants of Miao Yunxuan were not taken away. After all, they were from the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and they had family members in the Hou Mansion. Palace is not suitable.
