Chapter 23: Be open and honest
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Now His Majesty is nearly half a hundred years old, and although he has nine sons under his knees, there are only three who are still in Yunyao, and there is only one grandchild.
You don't have to think about it to know how serious the disappearance of the little emperor is.
"What?!" Concubine Kang stood up anxiously, pointed to the little palace maid and said, "Then don't go and find it!" ”
"Don't worry, concubine." Emperor Yao's concubine stroked Concubine Kang's back and smoothed her down, and said, "This Heyuan security is so strict, outsiders can't enter." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Xu is Ah Chen ran out alone, and Concubine Su has already brought someone to find it." ”
"Hmph, the mourning family will talk about Concubine Su in a while, I really don't know how she became a mother."
"It's impossible to prevent it." Concubine Lan muttered "inadvertently" on the side.
Concubine Kang's face sank.
She is the emperor's adoptive mother, she has no children herself, and she treats the emperor better than his biological mother. The emperor is not an ungrateful person, after ascending the throne, he wanted to give the name of the queen mother many times, but he was all scolded back by Concubine Kang.
Shoukang Palace heard Concubine Kang nagging there more than once: "Life has its own number of blessings and misfortunes, and the mourning family has picked up a filial son, which has to be crowned with the name of the queen mother, I am afraid that it will break the life of the mourning family." ”
Or it is: "The concubine of the mourning family is at ease, otherwise when she sees the emperor's biological mother in the future, she will have to make the mourning family upset." ”
Concubine Kang, who lives with a freewheeling attitude, has no opinion on the open and secret battles in the palace.
Who doesn't come over like that, she often says to the people around her.
But the most intolerable thing she could not tolerate was to take children as victims of struggle, in her opinion, children were innocent, and they could not receive these persecutions because they were born in the emperor's family.
Suddenly, a milky voice came: "Imperial great-grandmother! ”
Concubine Kang looked for prestige, and when she saw Ah Chen running towards her quickly, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Little ancestor, you are worried about the death of your family." ”
"Ah Chen, slow down, don't bump into the emperor's great-grandmother." Emperor Yao reminded.
"Got it, Grandma Huang."
Ah Chen stopped in front of Concubine Kang and looked at her with a wistful expression.
"Oh, our Ah Chen can run so fast." Concubine Kang hugged Ah Chen to her lap, "Ah Chen, are you here alone?" ”
Ah Chen shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to Yue Jin, who was hiding behind the tree, and said, "It was Princess Shunhe who sent me here." ”
Concubine Kang frowned after hearing this: "Ah Chen, why don't you call her mother?" ”
"She made me shout." Ah Chen touched his nose and said aggrievedly.
Yue Jin saw that she couldn't hide it, so she had to come over and say goodbye.
Concubine Kang glanced at Yue Jin, and instead of asking her, she asked Ah Chen: "Ah Chen, you told the truth to the emperor's great-grandmother, did the crown princess bring you out?" ”
Ah Chen tilted his head and thought about it, and after many struggles in his heart, he still shook his head.
"That ......"
"Ah Chen, where did you go?" After receiving the news that he had found the little emperor's grandson, Su Nian immediately rushed over as fast as he could.
"The emperor's great-grandmother helped me, and Ah Niang seemed to be angry." Ah Chen hugged Concubine Kang's arm.
Su Nian, who had experienced great sorrow and joy in a short period of time, felt out of breath for a while, and she didn't realize that her face was pale and scary at the moment.
Ah Chen peeked at Su Nian's eyes, jumped down from Concubine Kang, ran to Su Nian, pulled her sleeve and dangled: "Ah Chen is wrong, Ah Niang, don't be angry." ”
Su Nian squeezed out a smile and touched Ah Chen's head, her eyes fell on Ah Chen's neck, she took out the pendant and looked at it, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
"Did the crown princess give it to you?"
"I'll keep it here."
Su Nian looked up at Yue Jin's eyes and didn't say anything.
"Su Nian, Yue Jin, you come here." Concubine Kang beckoned.
"Imperial great-grandmother, don't blame A-Niang and Princess Shunhe." Ah Chen took the lead in running in front of Concubine Kang, "It was Ah Chen who ran out and met Princess Shunhe by himself." ”
"Okay, well, the emperor's great-grandmother doesn't blame them."
Concubine Kang wanted to knock and beat the two granddaughters-in-law, but when she saw Ah Chen's pitiful appearance, she suddenly lost her temper, and she said a few words casually and let them retreat.

"Princess Shunhe, what are you doing putting such a valuable thing in Ah Chenna?"
Su Nian asked Ruoya to take Ah Chen back first, and then stopped Yue Jin.
"That thing was originally intended to be given to you, but now that it's given to your son, don't you mind?"
Yue Jin scratched her head and said, "Just call me Yue Jin, Princess Tiantian, yours is weird." ”
Su Nian hesitated, and said with some embarrassment: "We are indeed not too familiar, right?" ”
Yue Jin lowered her eyes and stroked the pearl jade on her wrist: "Listen to me tell a story, in fact, I wanted to tell you that day." ”
"More than twenty years ago, there was a little girl born in Pingyuan City on the western border of Hanshu, she was different from other Hanshu children, she had purple eyes.
"At that time, the conflict between the two countries continued, and those resentful people poured their anger on the Beili people who stayed in Pingyuan, and the little girl and her mother were naturally no exception."
Finally, one day, her mother could no longer stand this life and left her...... Let's go. ”
Yue Jin sat in the corridor and spoke slowly, her eyes wandering, but her tone was as calm as talking about what to eat today.
"And then." Yue Jin laughed, "The little girl met someone, and that person brought hope into the little girl's life.
"The man was older than the little girl, and had a wife and a daughter, but the little girl was still in love with him."
Yue Jin raised her head and asked Su Nian, "If it were you, would you tell him?" ”
"No, it won't."
"What if...... Ay? Why not? Su Nian's answer surprised Yue Jin.
"How do you know it's love and not dependence?"
Yue Jin looked at Su Nian in a daze, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "You are really similar to him." ”
"The little girl is you, who is he?" Su Nian had a faint answer in his heart.
"But I said it." Yue Jin didn't answer Su Nian, and continued, "He just thinks it's a child's joke." ”
"Who is he?" Su Nian stared at Yue Jin's eyes and asked again.
"Su Yu, King of Pingyuan."
Su Nian's face showed a look of disbelief. You know, Su Yu is her father!
She was silent, trying to sort out the relationship.
Yue Jin looked at Su Nian, she looked very similar to her father, but her translucent eyes were exactly the same as her mother's, as if she could see through what others were thinking.
"You know what? Every time I look into your eyes, I get nervous. ”

Yue Jin still remembers her alert eyes when she first saw Chu Yingying, although it was probably caused by her own lack of heart as a thief.
At that time, Xiao Yuejin pulled Su Yu's sleeve and wanted him to stay with him for a while, but Chu Yingying ran over from behind and hugged his neck.
does not have the reserved and quiet of everyone's ladies, she is generous and generous, with some pride in the rivers and lakes.
