Chapter 207 Protecting Mother
The old lady took Yunniang back to her room.
The old tutor took Rong Che to the study to drink tea.
The maid pushed the door open and took out a small box from the cupboard. The key was kept by the old lady herself. After the maid left, she handed the key to Yunniang.
"Go open it and take a look." The old lady looked kind.
"The luckiest thing in my life is finding you. I always feel that it was God's will that pushed you to my side." The old lady's eyebrows were gentle and there was a smile in her eyes.
With a click.
The lock opened and Xu pushed open the sandalwood box.
Due to its age and being soaked in blizzards, the swaddling clothes have turned slightly yellow. Xu gently stroked the swaddling clothes with a gloomy look on her face.
"That night, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When I closed my eyes, I felt extremely uneasy. I could even hear a baby crying in my dreams."
"That night, for some reason, I had an extremely strong urge to go out."
"Who knew that I would actually find you."
"You were only wearing a swaddling cloth with an inner pocket sewn inside, and the jade pendant was hidden inside it. Mother was afraid that you would lose it, so she lied to you and told you that the Xu family jade pendant is passed down from girl to girl, not from boy to boy." The old lady joked with a smile.
"When we found you, the maid next to you had already frozen to death. Even your purse was opened. I guess your money was taken away."
"The only things that can prove your identity are the jade pendant and the swaddling clothes."
"I'll give this to you. If your biological mother comes looking for you in the future..."
"Whether you come to look for me or not, I am just a girl from the Xu family." Xu knelt in front of the old lady, resting her head on her knees, with an admiring look on her face.
"I died on that snowy night. It was my parents who gave me a second life. Yunniang will always be a member of the Xu family. Even if mother drives me away, I won't leave." Xu pouted slightly, looking like a spoiled brat.
These words immediately put the old lady at ease.
The old lady touched her hair. It was really not easy to raise such a skinny baby till today.
"Over there... is the Southern Kingdom's royal family." Xu whispered.
The old lady's hand holding her hair paused slightly.
"The relationships in the Southern Kingdom's royal family are complicated. I just hope that you won't be harmed. Your children must work harder and climb to higher positions to protect you." The old lady only felt sorry for her for meeting the wrong person, but was glad that her four children were talented.
After lunch, Xu Yiting called the two brothers Lu Yanshu to the study.
Several children suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
I desperately want to climb up, want to work harder, and want to become the indispensable one in Beizhao.
Only then can they protect their mother.
Lu Chaochao lay at the door, pointing inside the house with an accusing look on his face: "Why don't you let me listen?"
The third aunt stroked her slightly bulging belly and said, "You are still young, this is not suitable for children."
"Hey, let my dog go in and listen?" Lu Chaochao wanted to push Zhuifeng in.
The third aunt shook her head: "Chao Chao and the dog are not allowed to enter."
Bah! Lu Chaochao stomped her feet in anger.
It was not until the evening that the brothers went out with heavy faces.
Chaochao is still young and emotionally unstable. Everyone is afraid that she will lose control and does not dare to offend her with this matter.
"It's against etiquette to live in General Rong's mansion. Let's move back to my mother's house for a while, so that I can accompany her. We haven't lived together for many years." The old lady's eyes were filled with joy.
Rong Che knew it was not right, but he still couldn't help feeling sour.
Xu smiled at him and then agreed with a smile: "Okay, Yunniang misses her mother too."
In the end, only Rong Che left the Xu family sadly.
Before leaving, Xu glanced at him and said, "Open a door in the wall so that you don't have to climb over the wall like a pervert all day long." After saying that, Xu covered her face and left, her cheeks flushed with shame.
Rong Che's eyes were bright and dazzling: "Okay, okay!"
Rong Che couldn't stop smiling, and he left while laughing, like a silly son of a landlord.
The second day.
Before daybreak, the emperor summoned Lu Chaochao to the palace.
Lu Chaochao was frightened yesterday, so he didn't dare take Chaochao away from Xu. He waited until the next day before sending someone to pick her up.
I am afraid that something might happen to Bei Zhao's precious baby.
"What a bastard! He actually attacked my Zhaoyang!"
Fortunately, Princess Zhaoyang had great magical powers and was able to escape from the disaster.
Rong Che did not hide the truth from the emperor. He discovered that the emperor seemed to have an inexplicable admiration for Lu Chaochao. No matter how awesome the thing is, he accepts it well.
The emperor was relieved when he saw that Lu Chaochao did not show any signs of abnormality.
"Tonight, accompany me to persuade the Queen."
"Wan'er is angry with me. Probably, it's because of Concubine Hui. For some reason, she has a very bad impression of Concubine Hui and is prejudiced against her." The emperor sighed lightly.
Although he is the emperor, he is also a mortal and has his own selfish desires.
He gave status to the queen and favored Concubine Hui.
Personally raised the eldest prince and gave him all the warmth and love.
Personally teach the prince, give him the glory he deserves, and the future of Beizhao.
One occupies the emotions, the other occupies the reason.
"Concubine Hui is a very good person. If you get along with Concubine Hui, you will like her too."
"She has a cold personality and seems to be very aloof from people, but in reality, she is very soft-hearted."
Is it possible that she is just keeping you at a distance? 】
"The queen had a deep prejudice against her."
[That's because she always hooks up with the queen, and the queen is worried.] 】
"After the reunion dinner yesterday, Concubine Hui went to pay a visit to her, but she locked her out, which was a loss of face for Concubine Hui. I tried to comfort her with a few words, but she didn't appreciate it." The emperor always felt that the queen had a prejudice against Concubine Hui.
[How can she not be afraid when her husband’s lover always flirts with her? 】
The emperor held Lu Chaochao's hand and talked as they walked.
When talking about the past, the emperor became more talkative and even reminiscent of it.
"Concubine Hui's personality has really not changed in the past ten years."
"She was always rude to me and never tried to please me in the past. It is still the same now." Everyone in the harem flattered the emperor, except Concubine Hui, who was cold and indifferent.
The emperor thought she was real.
The prince scratched his head anxiously. Chao Chao's thoughts made him feel very uneasy.
Everyone came to the gate of the Queen's Palace.
He happened to run into Concubine Hui's sedan chair parked outside the door.
"Hui'er, if the Queen doesn't appreciate it, then fine. Why do you have to suffer in front of her all the time?"
"You bunch of dogs and slaves, why don't you invite Concubine Hui in? It's icy and snowy here. If you get frozen, you will be in trouble!" The emperor felt sorry for Concubine Hui. He saw that there was already a thin layer of snow on her body. He didn't know how long she had been standing in the snow.
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to scold the Queen!" Concubine Hui's eyes were full of seriousness.
The emperor was helpless: "Forget it, forget it. You are still protecting her. She is the master of the palace. You always come to pay your respects and cannot even enter the palace gate. How can this be tolerated?"
The emperor didn't understand either.
The queen was clearly quite sensible and even very lenient towards the entire harem. The only thing was that when he saw Concubine Hui, he avoided her like the plague.
"Come on, I'll take you in today!" The emperor glanced at the nanny.
The nanny who wanted to stop them had to retreat.
[Oh my god, this is Shura Field.] I’ve seen people wearing green hats, but I’ve never seen someone wearing one on himself! 】
"What are you holding in your hand?" the emperor asked casually.
Concubine Hui was holding a food box in her hand.
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "These are the snacks that I personally made for you. They are your favorite chestnut cake and eight-treasure cake."
"You're thoughtful."
"You never send me any, but you often send her some. She really doesn't know what's good for her."
The prince has already started to cover his face.
I can't bear to watch it.
