Chapter 118 See you at the old place
After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Tangbao planned to visit each palace according to the previous plan.
Following the principle of going wherever he went, the first place the little guy saw was Zhongcui Palace.
Upon hearing that the person living inside was the Second Princess's mother, Empress Xian, Xiao Tangbao, who was humming a tune in the phoenix chariot, suddenly became silent.
Soon, she shrank back into the corner feeling a little guilty, "Quick elbow, quick elbow, keep elbowing forward!"
She made Second Aunt lose face in public. Second Aunt was so angry that she fainted that day. She was embarrassed to see Empress Xian.
After walking for another two cups of tea, Xiao Tangbao went to Yuxiu Palace as his first stop.
Upon hearing that Princess Zhaoning had actually come, Concubine Li dropped her teacup, lifted her skirt and trotted out to greet her, without even having time to put on a cloak.
Seeing that the little guy actually came in a phoenix chariot, she was slightly surprised, but she quickly realized that it must be the Queen Mother's intention.
This Princess Zhaoning is really favored!
Concubine Li was born in a family of military generals. She had never been subject to so many rules since she was a child and had a lively personality. She opened the car door and was about to hug Tang Bao.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that the little one's car was filled with treasures. Some of them were things she recognized and were the ones the emperor cared about the most. There were also a few waist badges that looked like tokens given to her by several ministers in the court.
Thinking of her daughter who had not gone out for many years and was becoming increasingly depressed, Concubine Li thought that since the little princess was so likable, her son would definitely like her too. It would be great if the little princess could visit her son's princess mansion!
Thinking of this, she looked at Xiao Tangbao as if she had seen a savior, her eyes shining, and she couldn't wait to reach out and grab her.
"Princess Zhaoning is so beautiful. Come on, let me hug you, hug you."
"Ah~" The little guy was frightened by Concubine Li's sudden grab.
Those who knew her would think that this noble lady was the emperor's concubine. Those who didn't would think that she was here to steal the child!
Xiao Tangbao felt that she might not be able to withstand Concubine Li's enthusiasm, so she shrank into the corner and said:
"Wo wo wo wo, wo, I'm here to deliver an invitation! Granduncle said that he will hold a start-of-school banquet for Tang Bao in a certain hall tonight! Tang Bao, Tang Bao invites Concubine Li to the banquet!"
Eunuch Shen, who was walking with her, noticed that Concubine Li looked a little hurt and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "The young princess has been too frightened recently, and it's not directed at you, the queen."
At this time, Concubine Li also saw the bruises on little Tangbao's face. She heard that this child was always injured. You can imagine that such a soft little guy would be scared to death by seeing a bug. How could he not be overly frightened?
She didn't go to the zoo that day and didn't see Xiao Tangbao taming the tiger.
Even if people heard about it later, they just thought it was an exaggeration and that it was becoming more and more outrageous as it spread.
"Please forgive me, Eunuch Shen. I have no ill intentions..." Concubine Li suddenly felt that she had been a little reckless just now and felt quite embarrassed.
"Well, I was so excited that I scared the child! I received the invitation. Please quickly carry this gift from me to the little princess and go to the next place!"
Eunuch Shen: “…”
lift?
Oh, in such a short time, what kind of gift did Concubine Li prepare for the princess that required carrying?
He turned around suddenly and saw a group of people carrying a row of boxes and placing them in front of him.
When I opened it, it was full of silver, estimated to be tens of thousands of taels.
He was immediately shocked by the generosity of Concubine Li.
He quickly leaned over to the car window and said to Xiao Tangbao, "Your Highness, looking at the palace, Concubine Xiao has always been the most affluent. After the court's several fundraising efforts, the other concubines are now living in poverty."
After a pause, he reminded her, "Your Highness, this silver is probably all that Concubine Li has!"
Tang Bao's eyes widened after hearing this. She had already made people spend all their wealth in one trip, so if she came again, wouldn't someone die?
The little fellow quickly ordered to accept only half of the silver, and timidly walked to the carriage door, opening his arms towards Concubine Li: "Concubine Li, you are so beautiful! Hug me!"
Li Fei: *`(°ヮ°)? ”`-**
Concubine Li got to hold the little girl as she wished, and she was so happy that she glanced at the bruises on her face, and gave up the thought of kissing her on the cheek. She just dared to hold her firmly.
"Since the silver has been given to the little princess, please keep it well. Otherwise, keeping it with me will only make people hate you."
"If the little princess can remember the kindness of her step-grandmother, she might as well talk to the Queen Mother and His Majesty and ask them to find a suitable marriage for the Third Princess. She is also requested to visit the Third Princess's residence more often."
She smiled bitterly, as if she saw her own daughter through Tang Bao, with a trace of heartache in her eyes and tears flashing faintly.
"Your third aunt is Grandmother's daughter. She's really timid and dull. Grandmother is worried about her. She's really afraid that she'll drive herself crazy one day!"
Seeing that Concubine Li was sad, Xiao Tangbao hugged her neck and gently kissed her on the face -`つ_つ`
"Don't be sad, Grandmother. When Tang Bao finishes the important things in his hands, he will definitely go to see Third Aunt and play with her!"
Concubine Li looked at the serious little girl and laughed. She raised her hand and gently scratched her nose. "What serious matter could a tiny little girl have?"
"I don't have..." Little Tangbao wrinkled his face, seeming anxious.
She leaned over to Concubine Li's ear, shielding her voice with her small hand and whispering, "How did Tang Bao end up in Qixiang Palace when he wasn't sent home two days ago? I hid in the closet and heard that the Imperial Concubine had an appointment with a man to meet tonight in the old place in the cold palace!"
"Tang Bao is going to check tonight to see if that man is the one who captured Tang Bao! Just let your stepmother know the secret by herself, and don't tell anyone else!"
"But... Grandmother, where is the old place in the cold palace?"
Concubine Li looked at Xiao Tangbao in shock, her pupils dilated in an instant.
Looking into those mysterious grey eyes, she particularly believed that what Tang Bao said was true.
In this case, Concubine Xiao was really cheating on the emperor!
Could it be that... the fifth prince is not the emperor's son?
Oh my god! Mommy mommy!
Concubine Li had a look of sudden enlightenment on her face, and thought to herself, no wonder all the princes and princesses had gray eyes, but only the fifth prince Yun Yi had eyes that were so dark that it was scary.
I just wonder if the little princess will encounter any danger when she goes to catch the adulterer tomorrow...
If something really happens, it would be a waste of such a good child!
The goal was achieved, and Xiao Tangbao was ready to leave, but Concubine Li refused to take back the silver she had carried out.
The little fellow took note of this gesture of affection, and secretly said that he would erect a monument for Concubine Li by a bridge in the future, and gave her a peace amulet as a return gift.
After returning to the phoenix chariot, Tang Bao immediately ordered to go to the next place. It didn't matter whether they accepted the gifts or not. She must try to tell every queen about her important matters.
A few hours passed in a flash...
The maidservant, Ghost Xia Ying, floated out faintly, looking at Xiao Tangbao with a confused expression: "Your Highness, why didn't you just tell the ladies that Concubine Xiao's adulterer is Minister Jiang Zhong?"
