Chapter 248 Destroying Rong Xinyue's plan
The fifth prince put Xiaojuzi in his arms, holding Maomao in his hand, not daring to breathe, concentrating and holding his breath to listen to his sister's voice.
What's the matter? Sister, please tell me, it's killing him.
[Judging from Rong Xinyue's competitive temperament in the book, if she fails to court the prince, she will definitely try to climb a higher branch.]
[So, for a man with a higher status than the prince, could she go for the emperor?]
Xia Miaoyuan had a bad feeling in her heart.
Holding Hua Ni'er, she turned around and ran to the main palace road on the left.
When she ran to that palace road, a young eunuch who worked as a servant in the Qianqing Palace happened to pass by.
"Hey!" Xia Miaoyuan waved and called him.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?" The eunuch bowed respectfully.
Xia Miaoyuan asked seriously, "I want to ask you, where is my father? Where did he go after reading the papers?"
Calculating the time, Emperor Mingxi should have finished reading all the papers.
The eunuch said, "The emperor went to Kunning Palace to see the Empress first, and then came to the garden with the Empress."
"They are now tending to the flowers in the greenhouse. I just came from the greenhouse. I was sent out to get something."
"If you two want to find them, just go to the greenhouse."
After the eunuch finished speaking, Xia Miaoyuan waved at him and signaled him to leave.
Knowing that Emperor Mingxi was now with the Empress, she felt relieved.
"Fifth brother, let's go to Yu Garden right now."
The fifth prince nodded, carried Xia Miaoyuan onto Maomao's back, and trotted.
In order to take a shortcut, the two walked in from the exit of Yu Garden.
As soon as the brother and sister entered Yu Garden, they heard a gentle female voice singing a ditty.
Xia Miaoyuan frowned and followed the sound, only to see a woman in a light red dress singing and dancing.
The singing was soft and melodious, very pleasant to the ear, the dancing was graceful, and the figure was slender, quite alluring.
Xia Miaoyuan took a closer look and found that it was the second Miss Rong, Rong Xinyue.
[Okay, you scheming girl, you green tea, you really came to the palace today for my emperor father. 】
The Yu Garden is very large and has multiple entrances and exits. The place where Rong Er is dancing at the moment is the exit that people in the palace like to go out after visiting the Yu Garden.
Therefore, anyone who visits the Yu Garden at this time will most likely run into Rong Er when walking out after visiting.
And Emperor Mingxi's greenhouse is near the entrance of the Yu Garden.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Mingxi and the Empress have not discovered Rong Er, who is attracting many people.
【You are really scheming. You have found out the whereabouts of the Emperor Daddy and danced at the exit on purpose. 】
【This is clearly an attempt to seduce my Emperor Daddy! 】
【If you seduce the Emperor Daddy today and he takes you into the harem, then no matter how much my brother the Crown Prince likes Sister Rong, he will not be able to marry her. 】
【As an emperor, you can take two aunts and nieces as concubines, but you cannot marry two sisters separately from the Crown Prince no matter what. 】
【Rong Xinyue, you have such a vicious heart! 】
After deducing Rong Er's plan, Xia Miaoyuan was so angry that his teeth itched.
After listening to his sister's thoughts, the fifth prince already understood 70% of it.
It turned out that one of the Rong sisters was going to marry the prince as a concubine, and this Miss Rong Er was deliberately making trouble and wanted to seduce their father to become a concubine.
The fifth prince also felt that this Miss Rong Er was really hateful.
Their father already had many concubines, and his mother could only see his father a few times a month. But this woman actually wanted to seduce his father and stay in the palace. If that were the case, wouldn't his mother's life be even more miserable. There are so many men in the world, why only stare at his father. The fifth prince became more and more angry as
he thought about it . "Sister, do you think she wants to seduce father?" The fifth prince looked at Xia Miaoyuan and said. [Ah? I didn't expect that the fifth brother has become so smart now! ] Xia Miaoyuan was a little surprised to see that the fifth prince saw through Rong Er's plot at once. "I think so." Xia Miaoyuan nodded. "Crown prince and second brother are both of marriageable age, but they are not in the palace. The rest of the brothers are still young." "So, she must be coming for father." Xia Miaoyuan analyzed to the fifth prince seriously. The fifth prince said angrily: "It's really hateful!" Xia Miaoyuan smiled slyly: "Should we teach her a lesson?" "Okay!" The fifth prince responded happily. Xia Miaoyuan was in a dilemma, holding his chin: "But what should we do?" The fifth prince narrowed his eyes, gently tilted his head, and thought hard. Suddenly he slapped his head and said, "I got it! I have an idea." The Fifth Prince led Xia Miaoyuan out of the Yu Garden quietly, and then turned around and came to a row of low houses behind the Yu Garden. "What is this place?" Xia Miaoyuan asked in confusion. "This is a house for some eunuchs who do rough work. Those who live in it are all old eunuchs who are shameless or very old." The Fifth Prince explained. Xia Miaoyuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had never known about this place. It turned out that it was for those marginal people in the palace to live in. While the Fifth Prince was talking, he put his face against the window paper and looked inside, as if he was looking for something. After searching for a while, the Fifth Prince stopped, then pulled a hairpin from Xia Miaoyuan's head, poked the door lock a few times, and the lock opened. The house here is very shabby. The lock on the door was also broken, and it was the simplest kind. It was easily opened by poking it with anything. "What are you doing? Stealing?" Xia Miaoyuan's eyes widened in shock. The fifth prince smiled wickedly: "Of course not." Xia Miaoyuan tried to stick his head in, but was stopped by the fifth prince: "Just sit on the deer and don't go in."
The fifth prince opened the door and walked in pinching his nose.
Xia Miaoyuan smelled a strong stench coming out from inside.
After a cup of tea, the fifth prince came out, followed by an old eunuch.
The old eunuch reeked of alcohol, her eunuch uniform was old and dirty, and her hair was messy.
Her face was dark, and it was unknown how long she hadn't washed it.
"Where do you say the person is? At the west gate?" The old eunuch opened her dry and bloodless lips and asked vaguely. The
fifth prince smiled and said, "Yes, at the west gate, waiting for you. She is wearing a light red dress."
Before the fifth prince finished speaking, the old eunuch started walking and hurried to the back door of Yu Garden.
"What?" Xia Miaoyuan was a little confused.
At this time, she had many questions in her mind, but the fifth prince's eyes were always following the old eunuch, and he seemed to have no energy to explain to her.
"We will follow quietly from behind." The fifth prince whispered.
After that, he handed Xiaojuzi to Xia Miaoyuan to hold, and he himself held the furry Hua Nier.
The brother and sister walked to the back door of the garden, found a very thick old tree, and hid behind it.
After a while, a sharp scream was heard.
