Chapter 418 It's the Auntie

Nanny Li slapped her head and said, "Young Prince, you mentioned the voice.

I remembered that the voice of that maid is 60% similar to that of our Empress." "When she came into the room and spoke just now, I was stunned for a moment."

"But then I thought, the world is so big, there are so many people with similar voices, this is not a strange thing, so I didn't think much about it, and put my mind on the meal."

"As for her appearance, I didn't even look at it carefully."

Xia Miaoyuan jumped up from the couch, grabbed Li Ma's clothes with both hands and said, "Not only does she sound like my mother, but her face is also like my mother!"

Li Ma was stunned and murmured, "My little prince, you haven't been away from Beijing for too long and missed the queen too much, so you have hallucinations, right?"

Xia Miaoyuan shook her head like a rattle: "No!"

After saying that, she jumped off the couch, and didn't even have time to put on her shoes. She ran out like a firecracker.

Li Ma hurriedly took her shoes and chased after her: "My little prince, my little prince, don't run! Put on your shoes first."

In the blink of an eye, Xia Miaoyuan had already rushed into the second prince's room.

The second prince had just finished bathing and changed his clothes, and Jin Hu was helping him tie his hair into a bun.

"Miao'er, why can't you change your reckless nature? Knock on the door before coming in." The second prince admonished gently when he saw that it was his sister.

"Second brother, I have something very important to tell you!" Xia Miaoyuan looked solemn, and suddenly rushed into the arms of the second prince.

"What's the matter?" The second prince was a little surprised.

"It's my aunt, my aunt! I may have seen my aunt!" Xia Miaoyuan said seriously.

When the second prince heard the word "aunt", he felt his whole body stiffen, his head buzzing, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Their mother's biological sister, their biological aunt, has been missing since the war in Northern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang and Daxia have been looking for her. But three years have passed, and there is still no news.

He looked at Xia Miaoyuan's eyes in disbelief, grabbed her small shoulders with both hands, and asked word by word: "You mean, you met our aunt, Xiao Zilan?"

Xia Miaoyuan nodded heavily: "I'm not sure if it was her, but it's very likely. Now we need to confirm it."

Seeing Xia Miaoyuan say this, Li Ma's face flashed with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Second Prince, this is it. Just now, the kitchen staff came to deliver dinner to the little prince. The leading maid had a voice and looks like our queen." Li Ma hurriedly explained.

The second prince lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "But, if she is indeed our aunt, why doesn't she recognize us?"

"Maybe she has her own difficulties, or she has lost her memory. Anyway, let's confirm it first!" Xia Miaoyuan tightly grabbed the corner of the second prince's robe.

"Second brother, have you seen my aunt? Do you remember what she looks like?"

The second prince shook his head and said, "I have seen her, but that was ten years ago. I was still young then."

"Now I don't remember what my aunt looks like anymore."

At this time, the second prince's door suddenly knocked, and Sang Qi's voice came in: "Second Prince, is the princess in your room?"

The second prince's eyes lit up and said, "By the way, ask Sang Qi!"

As he said that, he strode forward, opened the door for Sang Qi, and before Sang Qi came in, he pulled her in.

"What's going on?" Sang Qi was startled.

The second prince used the simplest language to tell Sang Qi about Xia Miaoyuan's encounter with the strange maid.

Sang Qi's eyes sparkled with joy: "I remember. I am the Majesty's personal maid, and I have been with her since she was thirteen years old."

"At that time, the Majesty often visited the Third Miss, and I was always by her side."

"Third Miss, I watched her grow up, and even if I haven't seen her for a few years, I will definitely recognize her."

Sang Qi said confidently.

The Second Prince was overjoyed: "Okay, then you go and recognize her."

Because of worrying about Xiao Zilan, the Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan didn't even eat dinner properly. They only took a few bites of rice and couldn't eat anymore.

Li Ma had already asked the servants in the palace, and they said that the slightly older and good-looking maid in the kitchen was named Qiao Yu Niang.

She came to the palace two and a half years ago, and because of her outstanding ability, she was promoted to the head maid in the back kitchen.

Now, she has her own room, which is in the side courtyard where the servants live.

The second prince and his entourage waited until nightfall and quietly slipped out of the kitchen yard.

The second prince and Xia Miaoyuan hid behind a screen wall, while Sang Qi pretended to be strolling around with nothing to do.

After nightfall, except for the servants who served closely, most of them returned to their own residences and prepared to rest.

At this time, there would only be one person on duty in the back kitchen, and the rest of the kitchen maids, chefs, and stewards went back one after another.

Sang Qi patiently wandered around the kitchen for a long time, and finally waited until Qiao Yu Niang came out of the kitchen yard slowly with a lantern.

Sang Qi deliberately dropped the hairpin on the ground, bent over and pretended to look for it.

Qiao Yu Niang came over and saw it. Seeing that Sang Qi was dressed like someone from the mansion, she asked, "What are you looking for?"

Sang Qi continued to act and said anxiously, "I just went out for a walk and my hairpin fell off."

Qiao Yu Niang said, "It's dark here. How can you find it without a lantern? Let me help you."

As she said that, she picked up the lantern and helped to find it.

Just after looking for a cup of tea, Qiao Yu Niang was surprised and said, "There is a silver hairpin here, but you lost it?"

Sang Qi pretended to take the hairpin and looked at it, grinning and said, "This is it, thank you so much, sister."

As she said that, Sang Qi took the opportunity to look up at Qiao Yu Niang's face.

At this sight, Sang Qi was like being electrocuted, and her whole body froze.

Qiao Yu Niang said gently, "Isn't this sister from the palace?"

Sang Qi calmed down and smiled, "Yes, I am the attendant of the Great Xia envoy."

Qiao Yu Niang said seriously, "It's night, the palace is very large, it's best not to go out and wander around, lest you lose your way."

Sang Qi nodded and said in a respectful tone: "Sister, I actually had trouble finding my way back just now. Can you help me lead the way?"

Qiao Yu Niang said in a light tone: "Okay."

Then, she picked up the lantern and walked in front.

Sang Qi stood diagonally behind Qiao Yu Niang and looked at her for a few more times. She was sure that this person was Xiao Zilan.

The two walked for a while, and Sang Qi deliberately said: "This sister is not from Dayue, right? I think the sister looks a bit like someone from Northern Xinjiang."

Qiao Yu Niang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Miss, you have good taste. My father is indeed from Northern Xinjiang, and my mother is from Daxia."

Sang Qi said again: "Then why don't you stay in Northern Xinjiang or Daxia?"
