The queen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Concubine Xian: "After Concubine Zhengui's incident, Ningcui was transferred to Penglai Island."
"Supervisor of purchasing."
Penglai Island is a temporary palace. Although it is deserted, it is also relaxing. There is no fighting, and purchasing is a lucrative job.
Your Majesty has not been away for a few years, but all kinds of things need to be prepared at all times.
It takes a long time to prepare, so even if it is not used, it should be expired and replaced... Those who are familiar with the matter know the tricks involved.
The King of Nan'an looked at Concubine Xian suspiciously.
The master was convicted, but the servant who testified against him got a lucrative job?
Concubine Xian cursed inwardly but did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down to protest her innocence.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you two looking at me? I know nothing..."
Fortunately, the King of Nan'an was not focused on this. He looked at the nanny and the little prince.
"I was negligent before. You are a loyal person, so just take the prince to live in his original palace..."
The maid kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wisdom! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wisdom!"
She had given away all her things before, just wanting to meet His Majesty in person and plead for the little prince, but she couldn't see him.
When all hope was lost, the little prince received a red gold necklace with many treasures.
Thanks to this collar, he was able to find a way out and escape...
Back in the palace, the nanny clasped her hands together and silently thanked God and Concubine Zhengui.
"My queen, is it you who is in heaven and sent the fairy to deliver the collar to save the little prince and this servant?"
"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect your Highness..."
Concubine Xian was furious when she returned to the palace.
I wanted to kill that little thing with one hand, but who knew that by some strange combination of circumstances, that little thing would come out from the cold palace again?
"My lady, what should we do now?"
Concubine Xian took a sip of tea and glared at the nanny who came to ask for instructions.
"What should I do? I can't move now!"
"There are so many eyes watching him. If anything happens to him, everyone will suspect me!"
"Not only can you not move, but you also have to protect that little thing."
Concubine Xian's eyes turned vicious.
The child is only five years old, there is still a long way to go... There are more than three or two children who died in the palace...
After calming down, Concubine Xian was full of doubts: "Where did that red gold and multi-treasure necklace come from?"
"Why does your majesty attach so much importance to that thing?"
I am even willing to release the little thing from the cold palace for this...
"I also find it strange..."
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Tianwu summoned Ao Chengji, the imperial attendant, and asked him to take back many rewards.
From fruits, food, coal briquettes, diapers, to all kinds of good things that you have to snatch to buy in state-owned stores...
Everything you need.
The main idea is "If it's not convenient to give it to you openly, give it to your grandson."
All the major families were also jealous: Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is now at its peak!
The stuff is not expensive, but it is thoughtful enough.
How does this look like a reward from the emperor?
This is totally a New Year's gift!
It seems that the eldest grandson of Ningyuan Marquis who "failed to succeed to the throne" has a bright future!
For a time, all the major families began to inquire about Ao Chengji's marriage intentions.
Princess Cui felt a headache after hearing this: Does her word count regarding Ao Chengji's marriage?
After finding out that His Majesty was not with her mother-in-law, she went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.
Zhan Yunfu was also stunned when she heard this: "Are these people so anxious?"
Cui Junjun was also helpless: "What do you think we should do? Should we reject the other party directly? Or should we drag it out first?"
Zhan Yunfu pondered: "It's not appropriate to refuse directly..."
"My stepson will eventually get married. If I refuse now, it will be difficult to ask for marriage in the future..."
"Let me ask His Majesty what he means."
After all, he is a descendant of the royal family, and when it comes to important matters such as marriage, no one dares to act on their own without Fu Zhonghai's final decision.
This is what Lady Cui meant: it’s not easy for her, a widowed daughter-in-law, to ask directly.
"Then I'll trouble you, Grandma..."
It was not until Fu Zhonghai had seen Ao Chengji off that he saw Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun coming to pay their respects with the twins, looking tired.
Fu Zhonghai thought they stayed up too late last night: "If you are too tired, don't come. We are family, why do we need to go through all this nonsense?"
Fu Chenan sighed, and followed the etiquette to pay New Year's greetings to his father. After that, he explained: "Dad, Miaomiao was almost lost last night."
Fu Zhonghai jumped up in surprise: "What?"
Fu Chenan explained the whole story, and Fu Zhonghai was at a loss.
He looked at the child who was naive: admonish? Beat or scold? Teach?
The child is too young, no tricks can be used!
Sister Miaomiao didn’t come back with any animal hair on her body, she just lost a collar?
Wait… a collar!
Fu Zhonghai stared at Fu Chenan and said, "That necklace was made in the palace, with Tao Tao's style. I asked someone to draw the pattern and ask around..."
No matter where you find it, you can trace it back to its source.
Fu Chenan agreed in a deep voice: "I have asked someone to do it."
"If this stuff leaks out, we can still find it and follow the clues to find the source."
"But what if this thing is collected by someone?"
After all, there is a phoenix carved on it. Ordinary people know that this thing has an astonishing origin and may not dare to sell it.
What if it is melted into gold ingots?
The three adults were silent again.
It was Xiao Yingchun who sighed and comforted the Fu family father and son: "Don't think too much, just find out first..."
Worrying won't solve the problem.
The family set up the meal, and after breakfast, Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan packed up and took the children back to Wolong Villa.
Emperor Tianwu wants to date, his son and daughter-in-law need to be sensible and not take up their father's personal time...
As soon as Xiao Yingchun returned to Wolong Villa, she began to pack the gifts she would take to her uncle's family today.
The snacks made by the imperial chef were served in wooden boxes; the tiger bone wine was directly served in five-jin glass bottles...
Xiao Yingchun put a lot of thought into it.
After picking up the gifts, Xiao Yingchun drove the car, taking Fu Chenan and the two treasures to her uncle's wife's house.
The aunt had been looking forward to it for a long time. When she saw Xiao Yingchun and the others coming, she immediately came to greet them happily...
In the living room, the colorful crystal chandelier that almost touched the head was replaced with a simple large round lamp that was closer to the ceiling.
"Mao Wei and his wife bought a new house and are renovating it..."
As the uncle spoke, he expressed special gratitude to Xiao Yingchun and his wife.
"If it weren't for your care over the past year, Maowei wouldn't know when he would be able to afford a new house..."
Xiao Yingchun smiled and continued, "That's because my cousin and uncle are all very kind and take good care of me. They also took good care of my parents in the past."
"Besides, you are working for me now and doing your best. You should be paid for your work. This is only natural. ..."
While Fu Chenan was chatting with his uncle, Xiao Maowei and others, Sun Lihua discussed parenting tips with Xiao Yingchun and played with the children at the same time.
My aunt was busy in the kitchen.
When it was time to eat, Xiao Yingchun opened one of the two large glass bottles of wine: "Uncle, this is bone-tonifying wine."
"Don't ask me what it's made of. It can definitely relax the meridians and activate the collaterals. It's also very effective for rheumatism. Just drink it and tell me when you're done..."
Tiger bone wine is a prescription specially formulated by the Imperial Hospital, and it is made by soaking it in a whole set of tiger bones.
Because tiger bones were not considered medicinal materials in that era, Xiao Yingchun was afraid of causing trouble for his uncle and his family, so he didn't dare to say it directly.
But both uncle and Xiao Maowei understood: if Xiao Yingchun doesn't say it, then it can't be said.
Of course they were happy that Xiao Yingchun was so thoughtful.
At the dinner table, the aunt talked about what happened during the two days when Xiao Yingchun was away and told Xiao Yingchun about her grandfather's family.
"Your uncle's matter started to ferment yesterday, and now it has become a big deal... I think he will be punished." (End of this chapter)
