Now that he is living a good life, she wants to go see her son, but she doesn't dare.
How could a son possibly believe that a woman younger than him could be his biological mother?
She could only bless him silently from a distance and watch him ascend to a high position and become an emperor whose name would go down in history.
"Your grandmother will be very happy to know that you are living well now."
Gu Yunshu said as she picked up some food for Xiao Xier.
Xiao Xier opened her mouth obediently and let her feed her, "I want to eat that meat."
"Okay, I'll pick it up for you."
"I also want to eat spicy fried lamb."
Gu Yunshu hesitated, "This is very spicy, it might make you cry. Are you sure you want to eat it?"
"If you want to eat it, it has to be spicy enough to be fragrant and delicious."
Gu Yunshu picked up a piece of spicy fried lamb slices and gave it to her.
Seeing that Xiao Xier didn't cry because of the spiciness, her little mouth seemed to be red from the spiciness, and her whole face turned peach pink. She looked very pretty, like a real beauty.
Gu Yunshu raised her hand to touch Xiao Xier's fluffy little head, but considering the difference in status between them, she quickly withdrew her hand.
Alas, although it is good to be reborn, I cannot get close to my relatives.
"Miss Gu, thank you for dining with me. I enjoyed this lunch today."
Gu Yunshu smiled, "Then, little princess, next time you come to Jintai Tower, I will come and have dinner with you."
Xiao Xier blinked and said, "Okay, it's settled. I'm going back too."
Gu Yunshu sent Xiao Xier onto the carriage and watched it go away and return to the private room.
Nan Yin followed in and said cheerfully, "Isn't what this servant said correct? The little princess likes you. If we become good friends with her, Prince An's Mansion will soon know about it and will probably stop helping the Second House."
Gu Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "The second branch won't be able to remain arrogant for long. Arrange someone to keep an eye on the second branch. Now follow me to the south of the city."
When they arrived at the street in front of Fang's house, Gu Yunshu glanced at the closed door and then asked the driver to drive away.
Two blocks away from Fang's house, Gu Yunshu stopped the carriage, took out a letter from her bosom, and signed it with her seal.
"Nanyin, put on your veil and find a beggar. Ask him to deliver this letter to the Fang Mansion."
What?
Nan Yin was shocked. Nan Song said that Prince Dehe lived in Fang Mansion. It was not enough for her young lady to get to know the little princess, she also wanted to get to know the prince!
It turns out to be her daughter. She has found a good backer!
But the little princess likes her young lady, so what reason does the prince have to support the eldest branch of the Gu family?
No matter what, the young lady will definitely find a way to make the prince appreciate her.
"Okay, Miss. I'll be there right away."
Half an hour later, a little beggar with a pale complexion and patches all over his body knocked on the door of Fang's house.
"Where did you come from, little beggar? Go away!"
The little beggar stuffed the letter into the servant's arms and ran away.
"Hey, don't run!" The servant instinctively pushed the letter out, but the little beggar ran too fast and the letter fell on the stone steps.
The servant picked up the letter, glanced at the signature on it, looked around vigilantly, and entered the Fang Mansion.
"Miss, the letter has been delivered."
Gu Yunshu nodded and said, "Let's go back."
Inside Fang Mansion.
Dongfang Yinyin and Xiao Xier sat opposite each other, with colorful fruits and vegetables piled in front of them.
"Master, could it be that you predicted my arrival and made preparations in advance?"
"Hehe..." Dongfang Yinzhang handed her the peeled kiwi.
"You four brothers and sisters will come to see Master sooner or later. Master has already prepared a variety of snacks. Eat these thirst-quenching fruits and then have some snacks."
Xiao Xier shook her head. "I can't finish it all by myself. I'm thinking of packing it up and bringing it back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion for my parents to eat."
She came out to shop, how could she go back empty-handed?
"Okay, okay, take everything back, and bring some snacks too."
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Xier glimpsed Nie Ying entering the courtyard from the corner of her eye, "Master, I have to go back now. I've been away for a long time, and my parents must be missing me."
"Okay, Master, I'll take you there."
Bai Yi quickly took people to pack the fruits and vegetables on the table and put them into Xiao Xier's carriage.
Dongfang Yinzhang looked at the fully loaded carriage going away and said to Bai Yi, "Prepare some more fruits and snacks, and ask the chef to make more of Xiaoxi'er's favorite dishes in the next two days."
"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be returning to the palace tomorrow, and Master Xi will not be coming again."
"When Xiao Xi'er was leaving just now, I did a mental calculation and it turned out that she would be coming back more frequently in the next two days..."
＊
"This is the letter that the little beggar just delivered to the Fang Mansion."
Xiao Xier took the letter from Nie Ying's hand. The four characters on the seal were exactly the same as the ones that her master had written casually that night at the imperial mausoleum.
This font is also used in Gu Yunshu's study.
This kind of font does not appear in the entire set of seals.
How could Gu Yunshu know the handwriting of her master's casual handwriting?
Xiao Xier can be sure that Gu Yunshu is Shangguan Ruian.
"Nie Ying, there's nothing for you to do here anymore. Take your people and leave. Yun Shuang will protect me. You don't need to follow me."
"Young lady, I am following the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"My father asked you to protect me secretly. Didn't he also tell you not to let me find out about you?"
"This..." Nie Ying was extremely confused. They had been secretly following him and had never been discovered. How did Master Xi find out?
"Since I've discovered you, there's no need to follow me secretly. Go back. By the way, don't tell my father about what happened today, otherwise!"
"Yes! I understand." Nie Ying broke out in a cold sweat. Although Master Xi was just a child, she was inexplicably afraid of her.
After the carriage drove away, Nie Shiyi said, "Boss, are we really not going to follow? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given us instructions."
