Chapter 247 The Second Miss Rong is missing

Xia Miaoyuan was shocked when she heard the words "Princess Rong, the Second Miss Rong".

"What are you talking about?" Xia Miaoyuan poked her head out and asked the two maids.

"Your Highness, please be kind. We are not hiding here on purpose!"

The two maids were hiding behind the corner door to chat quietly and avoid work. Suddenly they were discovered by Princess Anguo and were immediately frightened.

Thinking that the princess had caught them being lazy and wanted to punish them, they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xia Miaoyuan explained in a baby voice: "I'm just curious about what you are talking about. I don't mean anything else."

"I won't punish you."

Hearing the princess say this, the two maids were relieved.

"I was just talking about Concubine Rong's niece, the second daughter of Lord Rong, the Minister of Rites. She came to the palace today with the old lady of the Rong family." A palace maid simply summarized.

Xia Miaoyuan was surprised: "Come to the palace?"

The palace maid nodded: "Yes, it is said that they came to the palace to see Concubine Rong."

[Oh no, Rong Er must not come to the palace just to see Concubine Rong. ]

Xia Miaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly thought about what Rong Er might do next.

[No matter what, we must take the initiative first. Find Rong Er first, and then watch her. If she makes trouble, this princess will punish her. ]

The fifth prince received too much information in a short period of time, and it was a bit difficult to calm down.

He tried to recall the person who was the niece of Concubine Rong, but he had no impression of her at all.

It was really strange. What was my sister worried about? Could it be that the second daughter of the Rong family was a bad person?

"Sister, shall we go?" The fifth prince stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Xia Miaoyuan's eyes.

"Let's go to Concubine Rong's palace and find Hua Ni'er to go to the Yu Garden to play together."

Hua Ni'er was a yellow and white dog, and was a pet of Concubine Rong.

Hua Ni'er was very friendly, especially liked to play with children. Xia Miaoyuan and several younger princes liked to play with Hua Ni'er.

"Okay!" The fifth prince agreed readily, and turned around with Maomao on his leash and went to Concubine Rong's Cuixi Palace.

The fifth prince certainly understood that his sister didn't want to play with the dog at all, but must want to go to Concubine Rong to find out something.

However, he would obey his sister's ideas unconditionally. Who said his sister was a fairy who came down to earth?

It would not be wrong to listen to fairies.

Soon, the brother and sister arrived at Cuixi Palace.

Rongpin had no children and was always close to children. She was very kind to the princes and princesses born by other concubines.

Xia Miaoyuan and other little princes would occasionally come to Cuixi Palace to play, waiting for Rongpin to feed them delicious food.

Therefore, when the eunuch guarding the gate saw that it was the fifth prince and the little princess who came, he was not surprised at all. He let them in immediately after announcing it.

After the brother and sister paid their respects to Rongpin, the fifth prince said, "Madam Rongpin, we want to take Hua Nier to the Yu Garden for an outing, is that okay?" Rongpin

came over happily, rubbed Xia Miaoyuan and the fifth prince's heads, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

"Madam, there are guests here today, so I won't keep you for snacks. You can have fun with Hua Nier, but don't play too late."

Xia Miaoyuan took the opportunity to look inside the house, but saw that there was only an old woman sitting in Rongpin's inner room.

[Strange, didn't they say that Miss Rong and the old lady came together? Where are the two Rongs? 】

Xia Miaoyuan blinked her big eyes and asked Rongpin: "My queen, who came to see you?"

Rongpin smiled and introduced to Xia Miaoyuan: "It's my mother and my niece from my mother's family."

"Is that old lady your mother?"

"Yes."

"What about your niece? Miao'er wants to see if your niece is as beautiful as you."

Rongpin was overjoyed by Xia Miaoyuan's high-level compliment.

"Miao'er is really good at talking." Rongpin covered her mouth and laughed. "

My second niece is a little stubborn. Today, while she is in the palace, I asked Gui Ma to take her to the Imperial Hospital to see the imperial physician."

【Going to the Imperial Hospital? 】Xia Miaoyuan's brain turned quickly.

【No, no, it's not easy for her to enter the palace. With her personality, she will not give up and be honest after being rejected by the prince. 】

【She is definitely going to do something naughty. 】

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan said goodbye to Rongpin.

The brother and sister took Hua Ni'er and left Cuixi Palace.

The brother and sister walked slowly towards Yu Garden with their three pets.

Xia Miaoyuan walked with Hua Ni'er, without riding Maomao. They walked very slowly, and Xia Miaoyuan's steps seemed to be deliberately slowed down, as if he was a little hesitant.

"Are we going to Yu Garden now?" asked the fifth prince.

The fifth prince saw what his sister was thinking, but it was not easy to expose her.

Xia Miaoyuan wanted to say that she would go to the Imperial Hospital first, because she really wanted to find Rong Er right away.

However, she had just gone to Cuixi Palace under the excuse of looking for Hua Ni'er. What excuse could she find to go to the Imperial Hospital now?

Xia Miaoyuan was feeling embarrassed when suddenly he saw a maid coming towards him in a panic.

They looked closely and found that the maid was none other than Aunt Gui who was beside Concubine Rong.

"Aunt Gui, what's wrong with you?" The fifth prince asked first.

Aunt Gui stopped, gasping for breath while holding her chest, her face full of panic.

Obviously, she must have run past just now.

"It's the little princess and the fifth prince." Aunt Gui forced herself to salute.

"Did you see a girl in a light red dress passing by here just now?"

"It's a strange face, not from the palace."

Xia Miaoyuan tilted his head and asked, "Are you talking about Concubine Rong's niece?" Aunt

Gui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, her eyes lit up, "Yes, it's her. Did Your Highness see her?"

Xia Miaoyuan shook her head: "No."

The light in Nanny Gui's eyes went out instantly.

The fifth prince said: "Empress Rong said, didn't you take her to the Imperial Hospital? Did you lose her?"

Nanny Gui's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat: "I was originally taking her to the Imperial Hospital, but when we were almost there, she said she wanted to go to the bathroom, so she went to the official room. I waited for her outside, but she didn't come out after waiting for a long time."

"I went in and saw that she was not inside."

"I guess she was curious about entering the palace for the first time, so she ran away to play."

The fifth prince looked at Nanny Gui sympathetically and said: "Then go and find her quickly. If you can't find her, ask Empress Rong to send more people to help find her."

Nanny Gui nodded with a bitter face, hurriedly left, and ran off to find someone again.

Xia Miaoyuan was stunned and fell into thought.

[Today is a day off, the Crown Prince is not here.]

[Rong Er finally made it to the palace, he must have inquired clearly before entering.]

[So, she definitely didn't come for the Crown Prince.]

[Then, could she be?]
