Seeing Liu Bufan walk out of the palace gate, Emperor Dezhao immediately recruited a secret guard hidden in the shadows.

"Go and find out, what kind of people are around that Mrs. Dingnan Hou Shizi."

The secret guard took the order and left, and Emperor Dezhao snorted coldly with a smile in the hall.

The old man was just halfway through his sentence and suddenly diverted his attention with his own apprentice's private affairs in the house, there must be something else he didn't want to know!

Besides, he later took a fancy to the little girl on the street and wanted that girl to be his daughter-in-law, but it would never be because the girl was good-looking.

Sheng Anguo has more good-looking women, is it possible that when he sees one, he thinks that people are worthy of their Azhu, and let his Azhu marry him as a daughter-in-law?

Others don't know, doesn't he know yet! Although the old man looks unreliable, he really loves his disciple in his heart, and he will never casually look at someone and stuff him.

can make him decide to match his apprentices as a matchmaker at a glance, there must be something extraordinary.

Plus the sentence that he changed the subject just halfway through...... Eighty percent is the talent around the girl who is enough to make him look at him differently, and figure out the talent who tied up the girl and tied her back.

What kind of person can be so attractive to him that he wants to hide it from him and not let him know?

Emperor Dezhao pondered for a long time and couldn't think of a thing or two, so he could only wait for the dark guard to find out.

…………………………

Mengbao looked at the two identical faces that appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but have a headache.

Liu Bufan suddenly told her early this morning that this was a child of a friend of his, and his personality was a little stubborn. Their father found out what had happened yesterday and sent them to work in the shop for a month. Let her not be polite, although she is called. You don't have to pay for it, but after a month, you have to choose a good watch from the two of you and give some rewards.

As for the reward...... That parrot will do!

Mengbao almost turned his face immediately, so frightened that Liu Bufan hid behind Shen Nanzhu.

Her shop hasn't opened yet, and now is the busiest time, where can I have time to take care of those two little ones!

And the parrot, which is obviously a mulberry, although the mulberry is not necessarily reluctant to give it for her face, but one yard is one yard. He Liu Bufan sold face in front of his friends and did a favor, but he turned his face and asked Sangzi to give away his things? And let her help intercede, why?

She herself was embarrassed to ask Mulberry to give away the parrot directly yesterday, and now it's time to open this mouth for others?

Liu Bufan thought that his apprentice daughter-in-law was easy to talk to, but he didn't expect that she was less polite than Sangzi.

Mulberry has a request, as long as he agrees to his request, everything else is easy to say.

But this girl didn't want anything, and she directly insisted on resolutely disagreeing, saying that she couldn't say anything. I have to let him find Sangzi by himself.

He could have gone straight to Sangzi, but then he didn't know what to be pitted by that guy.

The parrot was not what he wanted, why did he help Emperor Dezhao's children pay the bills? He's not going to do it!

Liu Bufan immediately asked Shen Nanzhu for help, wanting him to help him intercede with Mengbao.

Shen Nanzhu admired Mengbao's little face with a comfortable face. Unhurriedly, he said, "I listen to Madame." ”

Liu Bufan slapped his thigh with a bitter face, how could he forget that his apprentice was now being eaten to death by this girl. It's like a wife and slave, and the daughter-in-law is whatever she says! The daughter-in-law is always right! The daughter-in-law is unique and unparalleled in the world!

He eventually came back in the air. Although Mengbao finally agreed to let the two little guys help in the shop under Shen Nanzhu's instructions, the parrot's matter was not to be discussed. It's useless for him to say that his tongue is rotten.

She said a word from beginning to end, and asked him to find Sangzi himself.

Liu Bufan had no choice but to wait for the next day to discuss.

"My name is Mulan."

"My name is Mu Li."

Two children who looked the same spoke at the same time, but one male and one female.

Mengbao raised his forehead: "How old are you this year?" ”

"Twelve."

The two said at the same time.

Twelve?

Mengbao looked up to the sky and sighed, she didn't have the habit of using child labor!

She frowned and pushed the snack box on the table to the two of them, and waved her hand: "Find a place to play by yourself, do whatever you like, don't make a mess for me." ”

Mu Lanmu glanced at each other, and at the same time turned his head to look at her: "Don't you need us to work?" ”

"You guys? Work? ”

Mengbao looked the two up and down: "You can't pick your shoulders and you can't lift your hands, what can you do?" ”

"What about the parrot?"

The two asked in unison.

"Don't mention parrots to me!"

Mengbao raised his eyebrows: "I never promised you to work here, I will give you the parrot, who promised you, you go to whom, I don't care!" ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately looked anxious: "How can it be done?" If I can't get the parrot, I'm going to be grounded! ”

They only say "I" and don't mention "we".

"Grounded? What does it matter to me that you are grounded? Why should I give you a parrot so that you don't have to be grounded? What's more, I said a long time ago that the parrot is not mine at all, and I can't be the master. Either you go to the one who promised you, or you go to the owner of the parrot, and don't come to me anyway! ”

"Isn't that man your subordinate! It's not just a matter of your words! You ......"

"He's not my subordinate!"

Mengbao Zhengse said: "His name is Sangzi, not my subordinate, nor anyone's subordinate." This shop has 30% of his shares, and he is also the owner of this shop! ”

Not a subordinate?

How did you obey her?

And call her Miss?

Snort, liar!

"Say it! How much money will it take to sell the parrot to me? ”

Mulan asked.

The father said that he couldn't use the manpower and material resources in the palace, but he didn't say that he couldn't use the outside of the palace!

Although she hardly knows anyone outside the palace, as long as she finds out her identity, there is always someone willing to help her!

Mu Li on the side looked at her with a rebellious and confident look. He snorted coldly in his heart, and his expression was a little dark.

The whole world knows that Emperor Dezhao has a pair of young dragon and phoenix fetuses. But this pair of dragons and phoenixes were extremely unfavored after they were born.

Their mother, Concubine Xian, was unmatched in the six palaces back then, although she had no heirs for many years after entering the palace. But Emperor Dezhao has always been fond of her.

Concubine Xian's body is not good, in fact, it is not suitable for childbirth, Emperor Dezhao has always known this, but he has never been cold to her because of this.

Although the other concubines in the harem were jealous because of this, they didn't really regard her as an important role.

At first, they may have been afraid that Emperor Dezhao would raise the children of other concubines under the knees of Concubine Xian, but seeing that Concubine Xian was already in her thirties, old and decrepit, all the princes also had feelings for their respective concubines, and they would not get close to other concubines. And Emperor Dezhao never seemed to have this thought, and everyone became more and more unconcerned.

But no one expected that the thirty-four-year-old concubine was old and pregnant.

This news shocked the entire harem at the time, but it calmed down in a blink of an eye, because the imperial doctor said that Concubine Xian's body really couldn't bear the hard work of giving birth to an heir, and the child couldn't stay.

And Concubine Xian's body not only can't keep the child, but once the medicine slips the fetus, she has no hope of getting pregnant again in this life, which is already difficult to have an heir.

The rest of the week was as everyone expected. Emperor Dezhao, who doted on Concubine Xian, naturally refused to let her keep the child, after all, he had many heirs at that time, and he did not worry about having no heirs, even if he wanted a child conceived with Concubine Xian. But if he could only choose one between the two, he would naturally choose Concubine Xian to abandon the child.

But Concubine Xian finally became a mother, how could she allow Emperor Dezhao to make such a choice.

She would rather die herself than keep the child. Even though he knew that even if he really died, he might not be able to save him.

But as a mother, a mother in her thirties who was in poor health and thought that she had no children in this life, but suddenly had good news. She was desperate to give it a try.

Emperor Dezhao had a big quarrel with her about this, and once wanted the imperial doctor to take her child out directly. But Concubine Xian looks docile on weekdays, but once she really decides on something, she is very assertive.

Emperor Dezhao believed that if he secretly drugged her diet without her consent, she would go with the unformed child.

Things dragged on like this, and in the end, it was naturally Emperor Dezhao who compromised.

If Concubine Xian didn't try to give birth to a child, she would have gone on the spot, let her try, and she would be able to stay with him for a few more months.

Concubine Xian desperately exhausted all her energy to conceive the child in her womb, her body was thin, but her belly was bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women, and when she was six months old, the imperial doctor finally confirmed that she was pregnant with twins.

Twin sons, if not dragons and phoenixes, are considered ominous.

Concubine Xian was happy and afraid for a while, happy that she had two children in one fell swoop, and afraid that in this royal family, where no mercy is allowed, if the children are both boys or girls, it will be difficult to ensure that one of them will not be drowned.

She begged Emperor Dezhao that if the child was born in such a situation, he would be merciful and not drown her child.

Emperor Dezhao knew that her time was short, so she naturally agreed, and the result of the matter was also very happy, although the child was born in less than a month, but it was a dragon and phoenix fetus, although the body was weaker, but it was not impossible to support.

And this kind of joy does not include Emperor Dezhao and Concubine Xian herself, because Concubine Xian died of exhaustion on the day of childbirth, and Emperor Dezhao stayed by her side and looked at her thin body, and he couldn't imagine how she suffered to give birth to these two children.

No one knew better than him how she forced herself to eat when she couldn't eat at all, and how she drank bowls of fetal decoction handed by the imperial doctor without hesitation with a frown.

Those decoctions save the fetus, but it also means that the fetus absorbs the nutrients from the mother more recklessly, depleting the mother's energy little by little, and transforming it all into their own needs.

The harem concubines had already expected that Concubine Xian would run out of oil on the day she gave birth, and they rushed to raise these two children, thinking that Emperor Dezhao would treat them differently because these two children were the heirs of Concubine Xian's desperate birth, and they would be valued by Emperor Dezhao.

Who knew that Emperor Dezhao was particularly unpleasant to these two children because of this, except for a look at them after they were born, they never saw them again, and they didn't care who took them to raise.

In this way, the two children naturally fell into the hands of the queen at first, and the queen raised them seriously for a period of time at first, and after a long time, seeing that they could not attract the attention of Emperor Dezhao, but made Emperor Dezhao not even like her here, so he handed them over to other concubines to raise in the name that his children were still young.

But whoever raises these two children is equivalent to losing the favor of Emperor Dezhao, and naturally no one is willing to take over, looking for various reasons to prevaricate.

In the end, the queen mother couldn't stand it, and personally raised the two little ones by her side, but in the end, the elders separated by generations, spoiled the children too much, and the two children grew more and more crooked in this doting, as if they were not a weapon, and even dared not to participate in the New Year's banquet.

Emperor Dezhao didn't want to see them, and naturally no one begged them to appear in front of everyone's eyes, so they faded out of everyone's sight, except for often hearing how the two of them got into trouble, everyone almost couldn't remember what they looked like.

Except for some people who often see them in the palace, when everyone mentions the thirteenth princess and the fourteenth prince, almost they can only say a general idea, but they have no specific impression, which shows how low their sense of existence is.

This situation only improved after the thirteenth princess Qi Molan grew up, because when she grew up, she was almost carved out of the same mold as the virtuous concubine Niangniang back then, and even her tone and expression when she spoke were seven or eight points similar.

Emperor Dezhao still has the shadow of a virtuous concubine in his heart, and he is a little softer to this child, but Qi Moli, as a twin son, does not enjoy this treatment.

Although he also inherited the same face, he is a boy in the end, and he is not as coquettish as a girl, because of Qi Molan, except for the degree of food and clothing, it is also a little better because of Qi Molan, and there is almost no difference from before.

It's not entirely correct to say that there is no difference, for example, now, his expression is a little more gloomy and indignant than before.

In the past, his father treated him like Qi Molan, with a solemn and solemn face, but now he treats his sister with a gentle face.

For example, if the two of them obviously speak together, in the end, the father will definitely let the elder sister speak first.

Or the two of them obviously made mistakes, but my sister can be exempt from punishment if she is coquettish.

Why? Is it just because she's a girl?

He was not convinced, but he didn't dare to argue, but in his heart, he felt more and more that Qi Molan hated it, especially when Qi Molan looked high up and said to him, "The qiē you get now is all because of me"! He almost wanted to go up and knock her down!

In fact, he did try to knock her down, but the two of them were taught by the same gentleman whether they were studying or practicing martial arts, and the number of paths was the same, Qi Molan didn't even lose his strength, they could only have a draw!

After trying a few times to no avail, Qi Moli didn't bother to fight with her, and she couldn't take advantage of it! Maybe he himself will be reprimanded by his father for this, which is really not cost-effective.

And now, Qi Molan asked the parrot so confidently how much it was, obviously planning to take the road outside the palace.

If the high-ranking officials and magnates outside the palace knew about this, they would definitely help her, but they might not necessarily help themselves, the prince.

Because this prince is not as favored as a princess of hers, it is useless to help him!
