Gao Lingjun was about to leave the palace when he left the Empress Dowager's Palace, but this did not prevent him from walking with the concubine all the way.

The chamberlains kept a certain distance and let them speak.

Listening to the concubine's words, Gao Tongshi just smiled.

"Mi'er always has to be favored." He said with a bit of a casual look.

Now there are only two eldest princes and two second princes in the palace, I thought that Concubine Xian also gave birth to a prince, but it turned out to be a daughter, of course, for the emperor who has a difficult heir, the daughter is also very happy.

The concubine seemed to be smiling, not smiling, but did not speak, and walked in steps.

"How's the queen's body?" Gao Tongshi asked, "I heard that although the second prince is young, he is always sick, carrying a small stool to feed the queen medicine, and telling stories and reading to the queen decently. ”

The smile on the concubine's face sank.

"The news is spreading fast enough, I don't think the queen's body will improve for a while." She said, "I have to build up enough momentum for the second prince." ”

"You also teach the prince, don't always focus on reading, the rigidity of learning at a young age, you don't need him to take the top prize, our royal children, intelligence is not the most important." Qualcomm said.

"You were the ones who let you read, and now you say you want to be smart." The concubine said unhappily.

Qualcomm snorted.

"What are you anxious about, you're still young." He said, looking at the direction in which the second prince and the king of Jin'an County left, frowning slightly, "It's that kid, it's not small."

"Anyway, he's going to leave the palace next year to go to the fiefdom, and he will be an idle prince in the future, so don't pay attention to it." The concubine said.

"It's better to believe it than to believe it. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will be reluctant to let him go. Qualcomm said. And. This kid, I always feel that it is not as simple as it seems, he seems to know a lot of people. ”

"He's been in the capital for so many years, and it's strange that he doesn't know talents." The concubine said, and she had already reached the intersection as she spoke, "Don't pay attention to others, now the important thing is the eldest prince." ”

Gao Tongshi nodded and bowed.

"The minister retired." He said.

The concubine returned to the palace. She heard the sound of the eldest prince reading aloud, and when she heard this kind of reading in the past, she felt happy, but today she somehow only felt upset.

"Mother, mother."

Hearing that she was back, the eldest prince came over happily with the book in his arms.

"I memorized this book in two days, mother, listen to it."

As he spoke, he handed the book to the concubine with a smug face.

The concubine raised her hand and knocked the book off.

"Endorsement, endorsement. will endorse, what else will you do but endorse? She raised an eyebrow.

The palace maid in the interior of the house retreated in a panic. The eldest prince stood dumbfounded, a little at a loss.

"Look at your stupidity! It's not as good as the sixth brother! The concubine looked at his stupid appearance, and was even more angry, reached out and poked his forehead and shouted, "You can't please your father like him!" ”

The eldest prince burst into tears, grinning and crying.

"Cry what cry!" The concubine shouted.

The eldest prince was so frightened that he couldn't hold back his cry, and his fat face was flushed.

"Why don't you go to your father's place?" The concubine asked.

"Father, my father didn't let me go," the eldest prince said with a sob.

"Then how can the sixth brother go?" The concubine said hatefully, "It's really stupid! Sooner or later, your father and emperor only like the sixth brother, and he doesn't like you anymore, so you will follow Jin An to the fiefdom, and don't want to enter Beijing again for the rest of your life! ”

The eldest prince couldn't hold back his grinning anymore.

"Don't cry, just stand up." The concubine shouted even more angrily.

The eldest prince didn't dare to listen, hung his head and stood aside sobbing.

Outside the palace of the concubine, the maid in the palace hung her head and stood silently.

At this time, the ancestral hall of the Cheng family in Jiangzhou was also silent, and the servant stood aside, watching the woman kneeling in front of him unfold the genealogy and look at it one by one, his expression was very surprised.

Of course he knows what kind of person this woman is in front of him, the fool of the Cheng family, born stupid, foster care and outside, what a fool is like, he has also seen it, but it will definitely not be like this.

He has also heard it in the past few days, and some people in the family outside are talking about how this fool of the Cheng family is not a fool at all, he didn't believe these words, as Master Cheng's personal servant, he naturally knows more about the past of the fool of the Cheng family.

But at this time, I saw it with my own eyes, but I found that I had to believe it.

The old man also specially instructed him to read to this woman, but looking at this woman, it is clear that she is literate.

A fool can read, so naturally he is not a fool.

"Is that all?"

The fool sitting on the ground suddenly asked.

The servant replied busily.

"It's all here." He said.

When he finished saying this, he saw the calm face of the woman in front of him for a moment, and the servant only felt a sudden sadness in his heart, and he even felt that he really shouldn't have said this.

Cheng Jianniang sighed lightly.

"Sure enough, no, not one, not one." She shook her head slowly and muttered.

Although Cheng Shilang had guessed this result when he wrote the family tree, she still wanted to see it for herself, Cheng Shilang remembered that they were all elders and peers who were directly close to him, the huge Cheng family, the lush branches and leaves, maybe you could see the name she wanted to see, so when you were lucky, you just didn't want to admit the facts.

"Lady" Banqin came over a few steps and called out with a little worry.

The girl's soft voice sounded full of gloom at this time.

"What is the lady looking for?" The servant couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Jianniang didn't speak, put down the genealogy in her hand and got up.

"I'm done, you can put it away." She said.

The servant was busy responding, watching Cheng Jianniang turn around and walk out, the ancient wood outside the ancestral hall, it was colder than other places in winter, and watching the thin back of this woman walking in the meantime, it added a bit of desolation.

"Lady." Banqin was silent all the way, and when she saw Cheng Jianniang walking out along the road, the direction was not on Master Cheng's side, so she hurriedly reminded, "Where are we going?" ”

"Go find that guy." Cheng Jianniang said.

Go to that person, only that person, only this one is familiar to her and remembers and is also real.

Banqin followed her in response, and the two quickly walked away.

Here, Master Cheng and his wife are still waiting in the hall.

"I don't know what she's going to do with that, or what new tricks she's going to play." Mrs. Cheng snorted.

Master Cheng kept stroking the tea bowl thoughtfully, and when he heard this, he put down the tea bowl.

"Do you think people who can play tricks are still fools?" He asked.

Mrs. Cheng was stunned.

Yes, what tricks will a fool play, but just listen and watch.

"Looks like we've been mistaken for so many years." Master Cheng said, "This kid is not stupid. ”

"We don't know what she was like when she was a child! Five or six years old still can't leave! Is there a mistake? Mrs. Cheng sneered.

Yes, you can't be stupid, others don't know, but these close relatives of theirs have seen it with their own eyes.

"Could it be that it got better slowly?" Master Cheng said.

"How is that possible!" Mrs. Cheng said, before she finished speaking, she saw that the second master Cheng and his wife were coming outside, so she raised her chin and turned outward, "Ask the second master, how was the stupid child when they were in the state?" ”

"In the beginning?"

Second Master Cheng sat down to listen to Master Cheng's question, frowned and thought about it.

"That's it, what else can I do."

"Have you ever been to the Tao to watch?" Master Cheng asked.

Of course I didn't... Needless to say.

There's nothing uncomfortable about it, it's something that I'm used to.

"Still need to see it? If it had been better, she would have found a family long ago. Second Master Cheng snorted and said.

Master Cheng twisted his beard silently and pondered.

So what's going on? This doesn't look like a fool at all, is it really good? Can you be born stupid?

"I think so." Second Mrs. Cheng suddenly said, "She is old, and the Zhou family took it to teach her well..."

Everyone in the room looked at her.

Mrs. Cheng sneered.

"So what?" She asked.

Second Mrs. Cheng raised her head and looked at her without showing weakness.

"So Jiao Niang is fine, she is not a fool, her family affairs, we must be cautious." She said.

It's finally time to tear off those fake pretenses and reveal your true face.

Mrs. Cheng sneered in her heart and sat up straight.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant and oppressive, as before the storm, and even the maidservants kneeling on the porch felt that they could barely breathe. (To be continued......)
