Chapter 14 is the Four Princes

Luo Xiaoran casually pointed in a direction, "The mourning family watched him run there, you go there to find it." ”

"Xie Niangniang, the slave and maid are retired!"

I guess I didn't expect the queen mother to lie, my aunt and the palace people behind her hurriedly ran in the direction of her blind fingers, and it was strange and pitiful under the hot sun.

Luo Xiaoran said to the man under the umbrella: "Can you come out?" ”

The little boy secretly showed a pair of eyes from the side of the umbrella, but the black and white eyes were full of life, and he turned around to make sure that no one around had come out from under the umbrella, and he was not afraid to stand and look at her at all: "You are the Queen Mother?" ”

The childishness in the child's voice is full of childishness, and he looks like he is only seven or eight years old, but when he is tall, he is standing at eye level with Luo Xiaoran, who is sitting.

Luo Xiaoran nodded, "Which prince outside the palace are you the child?" ”

The first emperor only had three sons, and such a big child could come and go freely in the palace, and he only had the sons of the emperor's relatives.

The little boy pursed his mouth tightly, his eyes were full of stubbornness, and he held back a sentence only after half a sound: "I am the fourth prince of my father!" ”

She had never heard that the first emperor had four children, and she only asked three from Zi Kite's mouth, but it is conceivable that there are only three registered in the family tree, so who is this little boy who is obviously a whole cut younger than his brothers and sisters?

It seemed that Luo Xiaoran's puzzled gaze was too obvious, and the little boy said dumbly: "I am really the fourth prince of my father...... It's just that my mother came from a humble background, and my father didn't like me. ”

Luo Xiaoran felt a sense of guilt that poked the child's sore spot, especially when he looked at him biting his lip.

I suddenly felt a sense of guilt, feeling that I had become a strange Aunt Luo who bullied children.

immediately changed the topic, and said with a smile: "But the palace people who serve the four princes care about the four princes very much, and they are not afraid of the heat and sun to find you outside." ”

Suddenly, the little boy raised a swarthy face, and his dark eyes flashed: "Does Niang Niang know about the Forbidden Palace?" ”

"I don't know." She replied truthfully, anyway, Su Qingce has been in the palace for a short time, and it is normal that he doesn't know some things.

"There is a strange grass in the Forbidden Palace, which can give birth to human flesh and bones. The mother was seriously ill, and the aunts in the palace looked down on her and were reluctant to ask the imperial doctor to see her mother. My aunts didn't let me go out of the palace at will, and I watched my mother linger on the sickbed every day......"

As he spoke, tears rolled down his cheeks.

While crying, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and talked about his mother intermittently, but as soon as he cried, he couldn't stop crying.

Luo Xiaoran was softened by his crying, "Then how can I help you?" ”

He was almost out of breath crying, and when he heard what she said, he looked up at her, with tears on his face, and looked hopeful: "Niang Niang is really willing to help me?" ”

As soon as the words of "En ......" came out, she actually regretted it, and she still had palpitations about cutting off her head that night, but she was annoyed and soft-hearted by the four princes in front of her, and the words she said became water spilled out, and she smiled hard: "I talk about it, but how can I help you?" ”

The little boy raised his sleeve and wiped the marks on his face vigorously, "Then I will make an appointment with Niangniang to meet you in this pavilion tomorrow afternoon, and then I will take Niangniang to the Forbidden Palace." ”

"That's it?" Can she not go in...... Luo Xiaoran thought about it and swallowed it in his stomach.

The little boy nodded, completely different from the aggrieved appearance just now, "Niangniang only needs to borrow a palace costume."

As soon as she agreed, the little boy gave her a brief salute and ran away as fast as he could.

Luo Xiaoran suddenly had a feeling of being calculated, how could he feel that this child was so sophisticated when it came to meeting at such a young age, and he knew that she should steal the clothes of the palace people to disguise it.

At night, I went back to Yong'an Palace to ask Zi Kite, Zi Kite said that there was indeed a fourth prince in the palace, but it was not good when he was born, he was born on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the ancients superstitious that the child born on the fifth day of the fifth month of May would not grow up, and even if he grew up, he would restrain his parents, plus the biological mother of the fourth prince was just a slave of the Huanyi Bureau who was favored by the first emperor after being drunk, and the four princes were completely ignored by the first emperor, and even the family tree was not given.

Zi Yuan said that the four princes had no names, and the people in the palace did not dare to mention him when the first emperor was alive, and the first emperor died, and they were only called the four princes.

Luo Xiaoran sighed, in ancient times, it was the son who relied on the mother.

The biological mother of the four princes came from a humble background, and as soon as the old emperor saw the four princes, he thought that he was actually a, and this kind of self-surrendering identity is estimated to be disgusting to the old emperor like eating a mouse.

However, regarding the matter of the Forbidden Palace, after Luo Xiaoran only said these two words, Zi Yuan immediately begged her grandfather to tell her grandmother not to mention this place again.

Perhaps, she can escape from this palace through this forbidden palace.

At noon the next day, Luo Xiaoran secretly took the clothes of the kite and put them on, and when he arrived at the pavilion, the four princes were already sitting in the pavilion, their hands were changing their bent legs, their little heads were drooping, and they looked inexplicably lonely.

Hearing her footsteps, he raised his head vigilantly, and when he saw that it was her, he suddenly laughed, revealing his white teeth, which were particularly dazzling on his black little face: "Niangniang! ”

Following the four princes to the Forbidden Palace, she realized why she was needed.

Although there were not many people walking around the palace at noon, if the Praetorian Guards on duty saw a little boy, they would definitely be suspicious, and it would be much better to have the identity of Luo Xiaoran, the palace maid of Yong'an Palace. The two walked for nearly two hours before they reached the gate of the Forbidden Palace.

Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but rub his arms, the forbidden palace is in a remote location, surrounded by bushes, green shade, unknown flowers blooming, and there is a trace of aroma in the air, compared to the heat outside, it is like a natural air-conditioned room, and the estimated temperature is only in the tens of degrees Celsius, which makes people feel gloomy.

If it weren't for the four princes leading the way, I wouldn't have known that there was a place called the Forbidden Palace.

The fourth prince pointed to the red wooden door that opened on the stone wall in the depths, and a plaque hung on the door with the word forbidden palace written on it.

"I also learned from the chatter of the old ladies in the palace, I don't know what is inside, does the mother know?" He turned his head and looked at him with wide eyes.

Luo Xiaoran thought for a while, "I don't know, there can't be any jackals, tigers and leopards, right?" ”

"Then let's go inside!" There was no trace of timidity on his face, and he finally looked at her before he slowly added, "Mother is still waiting for me in the palace......"

Push open the lacquered mahogany door, and a biting cold wind hits your face!

But the surprise was far more than that, the scene unfolded in front of them that they had never imagined!

Far away in the imperial study, Yin Xiu was on duty outside, and a little eunuch came in a hurry, "Manager Yin, the slave has something to say!" ”

Yin Xiu hummed nonchalantly.

The little eunuch got up and whispered in his ear: "The master in Yong'an Palace and Zhaochun Palace has broken the forbidden ......"

Before the palace word was finished, Yin Xiu raised his hand and slapped the little eunuch with an ear scraper, "Why don't you tell me earlier!" ”
