Chapter XXVIII

Changfeng got what he thought in his heart, and after thanking him, he rushed back to Zhao Qirui's yard.

Su Li was waiting at the door, and saw Changfeng carrying a food box, and just wanted to ask, he was silenced by a gesture from Changfeng.

When I entered the door, I saw Zhao Qirui standing by the windowsill, not knowing what he was looking at. "Lord, the princess sent some pastries, I wonder if the prince wants to use some?"

Zhao Qirui came back to his senses and looked at Changfeng, and there was no joy on his face.

Seeing this, Changfeng felt that he had guessed wrong, and that he was smart.

"Was it really sent by the princess?" Zhao Qirui asked with a frown.

Changfeng is very weak-hearted, but if he said that he went to ask for it, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape with fifty sticks. hesitated again and again: "Yes, it was Su Qing next to the princess who handed it over to his subordinates!" ”

The corners of Zhao Qirui's mouth hooked: "Take it out, this king will take a look!" ”

Changfeng was stunned, this was the only time he saw the prince smile a little in the past few days. Hurriedly put the snacks on the table.

Zhao Qirui was in a better mood and had a better appetite. He has never liked sweets, and he even used several pieces of chestnut flour cake, and Su Li outside the door was dumbfounded.

Changfeng is happy in his heart, and it is really because of the princess!

"What else does the princess say?" After Zhao Qirui finished eating, he felt a lot more comfortable, and the clouds of several days dissipated cleanly.

"Uh, no!" You can't make it up anymore, if you let the prince know that it's hard to save your life.

In fact, Zhao Qirui has been sulking with himself in the past few days, and since returning home that day, Zhao Qirui has thought a lot, I don't know what happened to me to care so much about Du Qinxin and Shen Zhiwen, since when did I start to have a strange feeling for Du Qinxin. He couldn't bear her to cry, he couldn't bear her pain, and he was worried even if he didn't see her for a few days. He didn't like the feeling of being disturbed by her. He didn't want to admit that he cared about her like that.

It is said that the authorities are fascinated, Changfeng has long felt that the prince is different from the princess, and he is afraid that he is moved and does not know it.

Zhao Qirui was thinking about whether to go to the Broken Heart Courtyard to see Du Qinxin, and the housekeeper came to say: "Lord, there is a woman outside the mansion who asks to see you!" ”

"What woman?" Su Li was very curious, what woman dared to break into the Rui Palace.

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, and looked up at Zhao Qirui: "That woman said that she was the niece of Concubine Hui!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Qirui roared angrily.

The housekeeper informed him that no one in Beijing knew that Concubine Hui's mother had no brothers and sisters. When Emperor Ming Yuan was still a prince, he went to Shandong to inspect, but he was intercepted by mountain bandits on the way. Hearing the news, the local magistrate died under the knife of the mountain bandits in order to save Emperor Ming Yuan, and this person was the father of Concubine Hui, Emperor Ming Yuan inquired that there were no relatives who could take care of his wife and daughter, so he would be taken to the capital to take care of.

Concubine Hui's mother, Xu was sad and fell ill before two years of depression, and entrusted her only daughter to Emperor Ming Yuan when she died. After getting along for a long time, Emperor Ming Yuan and Concubine Hui had feelings for each other, and Emperor Ming Yuan married Concubine Hui Guifei, who had no background, as the princess. At that time, this matter caused a lot of controversy in Beijing.

I haven't heard of any relatives in Concubine Hui's mother's family all these years, why did a niece suddenly appear?

"Lord, the woman said that there is a token that can prove her identity, and the prince will know it at a glance." The butler said timidly.

Zhao Qirui had never heard of any nieces in his mother's concubine, and his frosty face made the housekeeper sweat coldly.

"You let Mama Qin take a look, if it is really brought to this king, if it is fake! Beat to death with sticks in the streets! ”

The housekeeper who got the order hurriedly went to the princess's courtyard to find Mama Qin, and Du Qinxin also listened to it on the side and asked him to go and have a look.

Mama Qin didn't dare to delay, and walked quickly to the gate of the mansion, thinking about whether the concubine had such a niece.

From afar, I saw a young woman standing at the door, looking at her face.

"You are the woman who claims to be the niece of Concubine Hui." Mama Qin was not polite, and asked straight to the point.

The woman was wearing a plain white brocade robe, and only a white hosta hairpin was on her head.

"The folk girl green kite has seen a nobleman!" The woman saluted.

"What's your name?" Mama Qin was taken aback.

When the woman named Qing Kite saw Mama's reaction, she thought about it. Chu Chu looked at Mama Qin pitifully: "The maid's surname is Zhuang's name, Qingkite!" ”

Mama Qin looked at the green kite, "You said you have a token, can you take it out and take a look?" ”

Qing Kite took out a golden lock from under her sleeve and handed it to Mama Qin, "Mama, please look!" ”

Mama Qin took it cautiously and looked at it with tears in her eyes.

"Can you tell me about your birthday?" Mama Qin already knew who this person was.

"The people's daughter was born in the second year of the Ming Dynasty, and she just turned fourteen on the sixth day of the third month."

Mama Qin steadied her thoughts. "What's the matter with the young kite girl asking to see the prince?"

When the green kite heard Mama mention this, she knelt on the ground and cried sadly: "The people's daughter begged the prince for help!" The green kite is now lonely, if the prince does not pity the poor green kite, then the green kite has only one way to die! ”

Mama Qin glanced at her because she was a relative of Concubine Hui, but she didn't know that she was so unruly, and her brows furrowed: "You come in with me." ”

I didn't expect to enter the Rui Wang's Mansion so easily, and the pavilions and pavilions scattered along the way were in the weather of March, and the courtyard was full of charming spring colors. The green kite was dazzled by the scenery of the Rui Palace. As Mama Qin came to a courtyard, the green kite bowed her head and was silent.

"You're waiting here!" After speaking, Mama Qin entered the courtyard.

"The old slave has seen the prince."

Zhao Qirui's face was gloomy, "Have you seen it?" ”

"Back to the prince, I've seen it, it's not bad to say that it's the niece of the concubine! It's just not a close relative. It's the niece of the mother's cousin! Mama Qin told Zhao Qirui the reason.

"In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, when the mother was having a hard time in the harem, the emperor was busy with government affairs every day. There is also the queen who is eyeing the tiger. Seeing that the new nobles in the harem were concerned about their mothers, Niangniang ordered someone to go back to her hometown to inquire if there were any relatives. Who knew that this inquiry was really there, the aunt's family. I just learned that my aunt's family had added a granddaughter named Qing Kite, so I asked the slave to prepare a small golden lock and send it to someone. But after all, they are cousins, and they don't often come and go. The queen mother passed away, and there was no news! The woman outside the door called herself a green kite, and she also brought a golden lock given by her mother. The old slave was the master and led her into the house, ...... you look, lord?"

Zhao Qirui didn't know that there was such a thing. "Mama will lead people to the backyard to settle down first, and this king will let people find out!"

After Mama retreated, Zhao Qirui instructed: "Su Li, you will personally investigate this matter!" ”

Mama Qin felt that it was better to explain this matter to the princess Niangniang, and led the green kite to the Broken Heart Courtyard.

"Princess, this is the woman outside the door!" The green kite hurriedly saluted.

Du Qinxin looked at the green kite who was similar to himself, "Girl, please get up!" "Mama has led people into the house, I am afraid that it is really the niece of the noble concubine, and I dare not slack off.

The green kite inquired before coming, presumably this is Princess Rui, and that is the one who can call the shots. So he fell on his knees and brought forth his afflictions one by one.

"People's girl Zhuang Qingyu, please ask the princess and princess for help!"

Du Qinxin asked people to help her up: "Tell me what's going on?" ”
