Chapter 161 Hesitant to Speak
After the banquet, they returned to Qiyun Palace. Asui didn't see Yun Wan, so he went to wash up obediently, then climbed onto the bed in the side hall and prepared to go to sleep.
He is now an independent little adult.
Yesterday, His Majesty promised Asui that as long as he didn't look for A Niang today, he would let A Niang accompany him for the whole day tomorrow.
Asui, who was full of anticipation for tomorrow and had been happy all night because of seeing his aunt, yawned, felt sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
He didn't know that tomorrow it would not be his mother who would accompany him, but he would be the one accompanying his mother.
Because his mother had overindulged in sexual activities and needed to catch up on some sleep, Asui could only do his homework quietly by her side.
He was cheated.
........
A few days later, Lin Xiu entered the palace, and the first thing she said when she saw Yun Wan was -
"Is Asui the emperor's child?"
Yun Wan was shocked.
"Aunt, you........" How do you know?
Her face was full of astonishment.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu sighed and understood what was going on.
Seeing that there was no one in the hall, she opened her heart and said, "Don't make excuses to me. The Lord Wei who accompanied you to my house that day was actually the emperor, right?"
She looked determined.
"When I saw little Asui at your birthday party that night, I felt he looked familiar. My eyelids kept twitching. When I got home, the more I thought about it, the more I felt they looked like father and son."
Women's intuition is always accurate. The more Lin Xiu thought about it that night, the more she felt something was wrong and she didn't sleep all night.
After struggling for many days, she sent someone to pass a message to Yun Wan, and then went to the palace in person to confirm it clearly.
She frowned and recalled, "Although my aunt only met Lu Fenglan once, she has a good memory. Asui doesn't look like him."
Lin Xiu doesn't have much special ability, but he is good at judging people. Asui's eyebrows, eyes and bones don't look like Lu San at all.
Seeing her thorough analysis, Yun Wan smiled helplessly: "I can't hide it from you, aunt has a good eye."
It's considered an admission.
Lin Xiu was stunned: "God is really like this?!"
Yun Wan nodded, "A Sui is your Majesty's child."
After the shock, Lin Xiu was filled with worry and asked anxiously, "What on earth is going on?"
Yun Wan: "This is a long story—"
Lin Xiu interrupted her anxiously: "Then make it short. I'm listening carefully."
"Five years ago..."
There was nothing to hide, so Yun Wan simply told her the whole story.
The more Lin Xiu listened, the uglier her expression became. "This damn old woman! She's completely devoid of conscience!"
She was a person with a gentle temper, and only became a little tough after her husband's death. At this moment, she even wanted to kill someone.
Sweeping with rage, Lin Xiu wanted to pick up a knife and chop Old Lady Lu a few times.
Seeing her extremely angry, Yun Wan, the person involved, calmed down and comforted her: "Aunt, please don't get angry. Getting angry is harmful to your health. All this is in the past. They can't hurt me now."
"It's not worth it to get into trouble for those people's anger."
Lin Xiu held her hand affectionately, eyes full of heartache: "Awan has suffered so much over the years, it's all because of those heartless people!"
Yun Wan smiled faintly and shook her head. Now those people could no longer move her heart.
Lin Xiu wiped the corners of her eyes, calmed down her inner emotions, and asked with concern: "Does His Majesty know about this?"
Yun Wan: "He knows, but outsiders don't know yet."
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good to know."
She was afraid that the emperor was unaware of the situation, and if he found out one day, he would be furious and accuse Yun Wan'an of deceiving the emperor, and would dislike her and her son.
"Did he say when he would announce Asui's identity to the public, and about recognizing his ancestral roots?"
As long as her identity is clear, A Wan will be completely free from all ties with that family.
It was because Asui became the prince that others could do nothing no matter how jealous they were, and Awan was able to gain a firm foothold.
As for who Asui's father is, Lin Xiu doesn't care much. As long as he is her niece's daughter, it's fine.
"We were still planning it a few days ago, but now..."
Yun Wan lowered her eyes and smiled, then told her, "It should be about time. I plan to find a suitable time to confess to Asui."
Lin Xiu agreed: "We should tell the child the truth, so that he won't be sad and angry when he finds out he was kept in the dark. Ah Sui is very smart."
Yun Wan: "I understand what my aunt said."
But she didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
.......
"Young Master, why are you looking at me? Do you have something to say to me?"
Jiang Fusheng, who was holding Asui's hand and personally sending him to take today's academic exam, noticed that he looked at him from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and couldn't help but ask.
Asui stared at him for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head.
He had a lot of questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
And what he should be thinking about now is the exam.
Thinking he was worried about the exam, Jiang Fusheng said lovingly, "Young Master, don't be nervous. Just keep a calm mind and perform as usual. With your ability, you will definitely be among the best."
It's just an academic test, it can't be a problem for his little prince.
Asui nodded.
When they were almost at the Hongwenguan, two carriages drove into the palace corridor. The carriages were gorgeous and luxurious, and the saddles were even embellished with gems, giving off an air of luxury.
The accompanying servants and coachmen wore peculiar clothing and headgear, had soft features, and a slightly darker complexion.
"Eunuch Jiang, who are they?" Asui asked curiously while standing on the side of the road.
He seemed to have never seen anyone's carriage dare to drive into the palace.
Glancing at the license plate on the car, Jiang Fusheng explained, "It's the Prince of Pingnan and his family."
Who is King Pingnan?
"Prince Pingnan has been guarding the southern border for ten years and returned to Beijing this year to report on his work." Jiang Fusheng said simply.
Jiang Fusheng didn't know much about this king of a different surname whom he hadn't seen for ten years.
However, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the capital again soon.
Asui thought the decoration and patterns on the carriage were very special, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at it, thinking that he could tell his mother about it when he got back.
Unexpectedly, the satin curtain of the carriage behind was suddenly lifted, and a chubby, round face appeared. It was a young boy.
He stared at Asui with contempt and a bad attitude:
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out!"
Jiang Fusheng's eyes suddenly changed. How dare the uneducated bastard speak to his little prince like that?
Remembering the child's face, he waited until the carriage passed by and then he lowered his head to comfort Asui: "Don't take it to heart, young master. We won't bother with such rude people."
Ah Sui hummed, "I understand, I'm not angry."
This kind of person has no manners.
Jiang Fusheng was full of love and personally sent him to Hongwenguan.
Anticipating that Prince Pingnan's family would enter the palace and that he would be in the imperial presence, he said softly, "Go ahead. I'll have someone come pick you up later."
When Jiang Fusheng returned to the imperial court from Hongwenguan, he saw two carriages under the steps in front of the palace, and he had an idea in his mind.
A hearty voice came from the hall, and he personally brought a pot of tea to the tea room before going in.
After seeing the Prince of Pingnan's family, Jiang Fusheng fixed his eyes on a boy of about seven or eight years old, dressed in brocade clothes, and said in surprise:
"Oh, it's the young prince of Prince Pingnan. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me!"
