55. Tanuki for the prince (7)

As soon as Lord Bao, who was full of worries, came out of the palace, he met the eighth prince at the gate of the palace.

"See the Eighth Prince!"

"Lord Bao, please get up." The eighth prince smiled and helped up Lord Bao, who bowed down: "Lord Bao has worked hard, can this trip be smooth?" ”

"Thank you for your concern," Master Bao replied with a smile: "Chenzhou's predicament has been solved. ”

The eighth prince remembered what he saw on the street yesterday, and couldn't help but be very curious: "Yesterday, this king happened to meet the wife of Zhan Escort on the street, saying that he was escorting Mrs. Bao to Kaifeng Mansion. This king wanted to see him, but he didn't have the opportunity to see him because of many inconveniences on the street, so I don't know if Lingtang is good? ”

As soon as he heard the words of the Eighth Prince, Lord Bao suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Back to the words of the Eighth Prince, the old lady is fine." ”

"That's good," the eighth prince nodded: "Master Bao has just come back, so let's go back and settle down first." Another day, the king went to the mansion to meet the old lady. ”

"Bao Zheng is waiting for the eighth prince."

Master Bao returned to Kaifeng Mansion, washed up briefly, and went to see the old lady; And Yu Xiaoyu saw Master Bao come in, and it was estimated that they had something to discuss, so they quickly found an excuse to hide.

"Sister Yu," Wang Erya finally had a chance to see Yu Xiaoyu: "I finally saw you." ”

"Erya," Yu Xiaoyu smiled and took Wang Erya's hand: "Are you in a hurry to find me?" ”

"No," Wang Erya shook her head: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, it's weird." ”

"Little girl," Yu Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to hug Wang Erya: "I miss you too!" ”

"Sister Yu," Wang Erya pulled Yu Xiaoyu to sit in the gazebo: "Isn't it fun outside?" Are you not all happy? I really want to hang out, too! ”

"Next time you have a chance, let your brother take you out." Yu Xiaoyu winked at Wang Erya: "Otherwise, you just hurry up and get married, and if you get married, you will have a chance to go out......"

"Sister Yu," Wang Erya covered her face and stomped her feet: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”

"What ...... I say" Looking at Wang Erya's shy appearance, Yu Xiaoyu shook his head, pulled down Wang Erya's hand with a smile, and compromised: "Okay, okay, look at you, I won't say it." ”

"Sister Yu," Wang Erya looked around cautiously and asked softly, "May I ask you something?" ”

"What's the matter," Yu Xiaoyu followed Wang Erya and lowered her voice, leaned over, and looked cautious: "So mysterious?" ”

"It's the old lady who came with you yesterday," Wang Erya looked left and right: "Is she really Lord Bao's mother?" I don't think it's like it, but I don't know who to talk to. Just now, my brother came back, and I went to ask him what was going on. But he wouldn't let me ask more, and kicked me out! ”

"Little girl, look at your gossip." Yu Xiaoyu tapped Wang Erya's head: "Of course she is Lord Bao's mother, Lord Bao himself has admitted it, what else is there to doubt." Don't think about it all the time. ”

"But, Sister Yu, don't you doubt it at all?"

"What do I suspect?" Yu Xiaoyu simply pretended to be confused: "What is there to be suspicious?" ”

Wang Erya said puzzledly: "Wasn't Master Bao raised by his sister-in-law?" Haven't you really heard of Sister Yu? It is said that Lord Bao's mother threw him away when he was born; Later, it was his sister-in-law who picked him up and raised him with his own children, so Master Bao always called his sister-in-law sister-in-law. You can't really haven't heard of it, have you? ”

"It's just rumors. By the way, when Lord Zhan came back that day, it seems that you, Xiao Ke, and a sister asked him to bring something over, how did you know that he was back? ”

"That day, it was a coincidence. At that time, Sister Xiaoke and Sister Cui came to look for me," Wang Erya was quickly changed by Yu Xiaoyu: "I happened to meet Master Zhan coming back, so we asked him to bring some food to my brother and them." ”

"Hmph, I hurt you in vain," Yu Xiaoyu pinched Wang Erya's face with pretended to be angry: "If there is something delicious, you don't even think about me......"

Wang Erya rubbed her face and retorted in a low voice: "You have Master Zhan with you, why do you need us to think about it." ”

"You mean I'm a friend who is heavy on sex?" Yu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Erya and stood up: "Okay, I'll find a place to reflect." ”

"Sister Fish......"

"Okay, I won't tease you," Yu Xiaoyu smiled and rubbed Wang Erya's head: "I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Sister Yu is going to eat for the sky?"

"Of course not," Yu Xiaoyu blinked: "Now Shopkeeper An must be holding the account book, waiting for me to throw myself into the net, I am not stupid, let's get away for a few days." ”

Two days later, the eighth prince visited Kaifeng Mansion and met Lord Bao's mother; The next day, Mrs. Bao sat in a small sedan chair accompanied by Xiaoyu and was escorted to the Nanqing Palace by Zhanzhao - just because Di Niangniang of the Nanqing Palace wanted to see Mrs. Bao's mother very much, so she invited Mrs. Bao to the Nanqing Palace for a while; And Yu Xiaoyu, as Mrs. Bao's personal maid, also went to the Nanqing Palace with Mrs. Bao.

After Zhan Zhao sent people to the gate of the Nanqing Palace, he left directly; And Yu Xiaoyu stayed by the old lady's side and entered the Nanqing Palace.

At this time, Di Niangniang, whom Yu Xiaoyu had seen and admired very much, was anxiously walking around the flower hall, waiting for the arrival of the old lady.

"Princess," the eighth prince sat aside and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, people will come in a while." ”

"Lord Wang," Di Niangniang looked at the eighth prince with a tepid attitude, and was very angry: "How can I not be in a hurry? I ask you, is everything you said yesterday true? What the hell is going on? By the way, what about Rong Rong? Where did she run away again? The early morning one was gone......"

"Okay, okay," the eighth prince put down the teacup: "Princess, you are in a hurry and ......"

At this time, the head of the Nanqing Palace hurriedly walked in and informed the Eighth Prince and Di Niangniang that the old lady Bao of Kaifeng Mansion had arrived at the Nanqing Palace and was waiting outside the flower hall.

"Hurry up, please!" The eighth prince also stood up.

"Hurry up, please come in," Di Niangniang was even more anxious: "What are you still doing standing here, hurry up and invite someone!" ”

The chief manager retreated, but he wondered in his heart: where is the mother of this adult, and even the princess, who has always been calm, wants to see her so urgently?

Yu Xiaoyu helped the old lady, entered the flower hall under the guidance of the head of the Nanqing Palace, and met the eighth prince and Di Niangniang.

As soon as she saw the old lady, Di Niangniang was stunned for a moment, and then tears flowed down: "The ...... Emperor"

The eighth prince hurriedly waved his hand and let the chief manager retreat; Yu Xiaoyu blinked, quietly took a few steps back, and planned to withdraw with him, away from this matter of right and wrong.

"Mrs. Zhan will stay here and wait!" The eighth prince broke Yu Xiaoyu's illusion when he opened his mouth, and Yu Xiaoyu stayed in the flower hall.

"Yes," the old lady also said, "This matter, the fish girl must know sooner or later, so stay here now!" ”

"Yes, Yu Xiaoyu obeyed." Yu Xiaoyu replied weakly, and then stood quietly aside, pretending that he didn't exist.

Di Niangniang was already in tears and was holding the old lady's arm: "Imperial sister-in-law, is it really you?" Twenty years, I thought you ......"

Hearing Di Niangniang crying very sadly, the old lady also felt a little sad: "Yes, it's been 20 years, more than 20 years have passed, I ......"

"Princess," the eighth prince opened his mouth and persuaded softly, "Don't cry first, let the imperial sister-in-law sit down first, and then talk about anything else." As he spoke, he gave Yu Xiaoyu, who was loading the pillar on the side, a look.

Di Niangniang listened to the words of the eighth prince, wiped her tears, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, look at me, sister-in-law, please take a seat." ”

Yu Xiaoyu received the eighth prince's eye signal, hurriedly stepped forward, held the old lady's arm, and quietly helped the old lady to the seat, before standing behind the old lady again, and continued to pretend that he did not exist.

"Imperial sister-in-law, your eyes ......" After sitting down, Di Niangniang, who was in a calmer mood, found that the old lady's eyes were gray and did not have any brilliance.

"Blind," said the old lady absently, "it's been twenty years." ”

"Oh my God," Di Niangniang cried, "how could this happen? What happened back then, sister-in-law? ”

"...... back then" mentioned that year, the old lady was full of anger; However, after all, the old lady had gone through strong winds and waves, and she still held back her anger and told Di Niangniang again what happened back then.

More than 20 years ago, when the first emperor was in power, Concubine Li and Concubine Liu were pregnant at the same time. At that time, there was no owner in the harem, and the first emperor had clouds, and the first boy was established as the queen, and the boy born was established as the prince.

Later, Concubine Li gave birth first, but what the first emperor was waiting for was not the prince who was looking forward to it, but a tanuki; The first emperor was furious and demoted Concubine Li to the cold palace; At the same time, the Southern Qing Palace ushered in the eunuch Chen Lin, who brought a boy, who was actually the son of Concubine Li, and this son is now in danger of his life. Although they knew that this matter was extremely inappropriate, in order to protect the bloodline of the first emperor, the eighth prince and Di Niang also declared that this son was born to Di Niangniang; A few years later, the eighth prince took the little boy into the palace, and the boy was unexpectedly loved by the first emperor who lost his beloved son, so he was promoted to the crown prince and lived in the palace; Later, the cold palace caught fire, and everyone thought that Concubine Li had been buried in the fire; Unexpectedly, the eunuch Yu Zhong died in place of Concubine Li, and the chief administrator Qin Feng sent Concubine Li to his own home in Caozhou Bridge, Chenzhou Mansion; After that, in order to protect the secret that Concubine Li was still alive, the Qin family declined, and Concubine Li waited for 20 years at Caozhou Bridge, and finally waited for Lord Bao, who was upright and not afraid of power, to pass by......

Di Niangniang accompanied the old lady, no, she should be called the Queen Mother, Di Niangniang accompanied the Queen Mother and cried again and again; And the eighth prince, who has already heard this story once, is still as shocked as he was at the beginning when he heard it again.

"Imperial sister-in-law," Di Niangniang cried, "for so many years, you have suffered......"

"It's not bitter," the Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes: "No matter how bitter it is, it can't withstand the longing for the emperor......"

The eighth prince listened to the Queen Mother talking to Di Niangniang, and at the same time observed Yu Xiaoyu: I saw that Yu Xiaoyu had been standing quietly aside, looking like she didn't exist, even though the things told by the Queen Mother were so appalling, Yu Xiaoyu was still calm, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Seeing that Yu Xiaoyu was so knowledgeable and interested, the eighth prince had a plan in his heart.

"Imperial sister-in-law, princess," waited until the two of them were almost crying before the eighth prince said, "You two don't cry anymore." Now, the most important thing is to think about what we should do next. ”

"Yes, yes," Di Niangniang nodded: "I'll go into the palace and find the emperor to explain things clearly." ”

"Princess, slow down," the eighth prince opened his mouth to stop Di Niangniang: "That Concubine Liu's eyeliner has already covered the palace, I'm afraid that you have already been known by her before you have said anything to the emperor in the past." ”

"Yes," the Queen Mother also said resentfully: "Guo Huai, the big eunuch beside Concubine Liu, is ruthless and exterminates human nature......"

"Could it be," Di Niangniang said angrily, "Does he still dare to attack me?" ”

The Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes: "Then Guo Huai can even change the civet cat for the prince, such a thing can be done, what can't be done?" ”

"So what to do?" Di Niangniang looked at the eighth prince at a loss, and looked forward to the eighth prince coming up with a solution.

The Eighth Prince pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoyu: "What does Mrs. Zhan think we should do now?" ”
