After a long time, Xue saw that Yang Meiniang, who was usually witty, did not speak, and when she looked at her, she noticed the strangeness on her face, and suddenly realized that she had lost her words and was about to speak, but Yang Meiniang had already raised her head again, looked at the grand scene in the hall, resumed her previous tone, and said:

"My sister used to be one of them, and she was the number one dancer in Shihualou." Yang Meiniang sighed, "It's just that she's no longer here." “

Xue was taken aback, in fact, she somewhat guessed that Sima Yun's mother might have suffered an accident, she suddenly felt ashamed and hesitated, but finally said to Yang Meiniang:

"I'm sorry Miss Yang, I mentioned your sadness."

Miss Yang hurriedly waved her hand and said:

"How can Your Majesty apologize to my little woman, if Your Majesty asks, what is right or wrong...... Besides, this was more than ten years ago, although my sister is gone, but I didn't leave Ah Yun behind, I took care of him like my own son, and I was very happy. “

Xue could only echo and nodded with a smile, and after that, the two fell silent for a while.

Xue couldn't help but look back at Sima Yun again, remembering that when he saw him on weekdays, he was always smiling, and he didn't expect that he was also a child without a mother, and at this moment, when Xue saw his smile again, he couldn't help but feel that there was a trace of sadness in that bright smile.

Xue turned around and secretly swore in her heart that she would treat him well in the future.

Then, Xue lost her appetite all of a sudden, and she couldn't say anything, so she sat in front of the food table, and Yang Meiniang was still sitting next to her, she felt more and more embarrassed, so she said to Yang Meiniang:

"It's rare for Miss Yang to enter the palace, and I don't need anyone to serve here, why don't Miss Yang talk to Yun Gongzi."

"If Your Majesty feels awkward because of what you just said, then you don't have to, my sister's death is a fact, someone mentioned it, indicating that there are still people who remember her, and now not only me, but also Your Majesty and Cheng Gongzi are thinking about Ah Yun, my sister has knowledge, and it's too late to be happy." Yang Meiniang said as she prepared the dishes for Xuebu.

Yang Meiniang, who is always laughing and scolding on weekdays, suddenly changed to a steady and gentle voice at this moment, Xue was both surprised and surprised, and suddenly felt that Yang Meiniang was not such a simple person, and couldn't help but look at her differently.

Xue obediently picked up the dishes that Yang Meiniang put in the bowl for her and put them in her mouth, and then, she suddenly remembered that Sima Yun also looked like she was giggling on weekdays, but in front of some people, she would become extremely calm, and she couldn't help but suddenly realize that she had learned it all from Miss Yang.

Now, most of the mysteries have been solved, why Yang Meiniang looks only a little older than herself, but she has a "son" as big as Sima Yun, why Sima Yun lives in Shihualou, and why Sima will adopt him as an adopted son.

Xue couldn't help but start thinking, if Sima Yun's mother died, why didn't his father adopt him? Did he escape because of the bad state in his father's family?

Or is it ...... Because Sima Yun is the son of a dancing girl, someone is not willing to let Sima Yun's mother enter the door at all?

Xue didn't know much about these clan rules, but she knew that among these courtiers now, whoever had a little money at home was a group of family concubines and musicians, and if they were lucky and conceived with a child, they could be directly promoted to concubines.

So what's going on? Xue tilted her head and was puzzled, if she wanted to solve this puzzle, she could only continue to ask Yang Meiniang, Xue secretly glanced at Yang Meiniang, and saw that her face was as usual, so she cautiously asked:

"Miss Yang, can I ask a little more about Yun Gongzi's mother?"

"Yes!" Yang Meiniang's tone was very hearty, "The little woman knows everything, and she says everything, haha." ”

Seeing that Yang Meiniang was still in the mood to joke with her, Xue's mood also relaxed.

"Does Miss Yang know how your sister got pregnant?" Xue didn't dare to ask Sima Yun's father directly, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that her words were a little strange, so she added:

"Or was anything special going on before your sister got pregnant?"

Miss Yang thought thoughtfully, paused for a while, and said:

"At that time, I was still young, and I didn't stay with my sister every day, but I only went back to visit my sister occasionally, and I remember the last time I met, when my sister excitedly told me that she had a baby in her belly, and I was going to be an aunt, and my sister also told me not to say it, so at the beginning, no one in Shihualou knew."

Xue nodded, and turned in the direction of Yang Meiniang, with her hands on her laps, sitting upright, with a sincere face, listening very seriously.

"Later, when I went to visit my sister again, she was no longer in Shihualou, the girl in Shihualou said that after my sister's belly was pregnant, there was an old woman who came to find my sister, and the next day I came to the sedan chair and took my sister away, and then I went several times, and I never saw my sister again, and then later, I counted that the child should be born, and I didn't see my sister back." Yang Meiniang's tone was a little heavy, and she suddenly raised her head and said:

"Hmm...... After that, I told Your Majesty everything, I grew up, so I stayed in Shihualou to do things, thinking about waiting for my sister to come back, and then waiting, waiting, but it turned out that what I was waiting for was Ah Yun, because Ah Yun and my sister looked very similar, and I had my sister's earrings on my body, so I recognized him at once, and the news of my sister's death was also what he said. Yang Meiniang's tone changed back to her previous brisk tone.

Xue was very shocked, Sima Cheng said that Sima Yun grew up in Shihualou, it can be seen that he should not be very old when he returns to Shihualou, and it is a cruel thing to let a child tell others that his mother is dead.

Xue didn't dare to face Sima Yun again, she was afraid that if she saw him again, tears would fall unconsciously.

"As for how my sister conceived the child, Your Majesty wants to ask who Ah Yun's father is." Yang Meiniang did not shy away from mentioning it, and Xue's heart tightened.

"I don't know, Ah Yun himself doesn't know, and he doesn't seem to want to pursue this, so I don't care about this." Yang Meiniang's tone was relaxed, and she seemed to have seen everything.

Snow fell silent, and she couldn't deduce anything from that alone.

At this time, Yang Meiniang seemed to remember something, and suddenly patted the food table, Xue raised her head in shock, Yang Meiniang's eyes opened wide, and said to Xue:

"I remember, the girls in Shihualou said that my sister only sells her art in Shihualou, and in addition to buying some rouge gouache on weekdays, she will not go out of Shihualou for half a step at other times, and before that, the only time my sister goes out is in a situation like now."

"Now so?" The snow is puzzled.

"For now...... Enter the palace to perform. A hint of discoloration flashed in Yang Meiniang's eyes, and she turned her head to everyone in the hall.

Xue was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she couldn't speak for a while, she lowered her head and carefully recalled all the things Yang Meiniang mentioned.

If an ordinary prince is fortunate enough to come to the mansion as a dancing concubine, even if he is not doing well in the mansion, at least it is the royal blood, and he will not be exiled to the people, and the only thing that may not be allowed because of his status is ...... Moreover, the more important amount is to enter the palace to perform...... Moreover, it is something that Sima Cheng does not want to say......

Xue's face turned a little pale, she felt a chill down her spine, and her hands trembled a little, and she didn't dare to continue thinking about it......

Yuki clasped her hands together and took a deep breath and swallowed her saliva, forcing herself to compose. Right! She told herself, don't think about it, when the banquet is over, just ask Sima Cheng directly, no matter what happens today, you must ask Sima Cheng clearly.

At this time, Yang Meiniang suddenly approached the snow, and with a half-joking tone, she said in her ear:

"Your Majesty, you say, will Ah Yun be the emperor's son?"
