70 Acts of Night Meeting Nine Princes
Remember in a second
Yu Xuanxun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Wei Ning's hand excitedly, "Auntie knows the truth about my father's death, tell me quickly." ”
"It's not impossible to tell you, but you have to help me find the person I'm looking for first, and then I'll tell you everything I know." Weining unhurriedly proposed the terms of the deal with her.
"Okay, who is Auntie looking for?" Yu Xuan said mechanically compromised, his eyes full of urgency.
Wei Ning saw that Yu Xuanxun was a little cooperative, so he began his own story:
That was fifteen years ago, when the emperor was still young, but I had already received permission from the emperor to leave the palace.
However, because of the emperor's reluctance, I couldn't leave if I wanted to. At that time, I already had a marriage contract, so I was waiting to go out of the palace to marry him, but the emperor actually used a hairpin to frame me for stealing, and the filial piety of the Empress Dowager, who was still a jade concubine at the time, also helped the emperor lie, which made the emperor even more convinced, and punished me to continue to stay in the palace to serve the emperor.
But who knew that I was already pregnant at that time, and under my plea, the emperor only promised me to give birth to a child and give it to his biological father to raise, and the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so I could only endure the pain and give the child to his father, and then made a promise with him for 20 years, and never to be seen again.
After a year, I heard that something had happened in his family, and one of my best sisters was about to leave the palace, so I dragged her to find out the news, but she was never heard from again.
It wasn't until the appearance of Yun Zihui that I knew that there were many changes after she left the palace, although she married Yun Zihui's biological father, she died of illness within a few years, and she took Yun Zihui to remarry Yun Gang.
The only clue I know of is that my children's family returned to the imperial capital two years ago, but I dragged many people to find out where they live now.
So right now I'm thinking of you, because you're special, and you have unimaginable abilities.
Yu Xuanxun couldn't help but be a little moved and a little inexplicable when he heard this, "Auntie's experience is very sympathetic, my aunt's purpose is to find the child and his father, right?" ”
Wei Ning nodded tearfully.
"Why does my aunt think I can?"
"Because of the Nine Princes."
"My aunt decided that the Ninth Prince would definitely help me."
Wei Ning nodded, "My intuition tells me that as long as you are willing to speak, the prince will definitely help." Wei Ning continued, "Besides, your control is not just the Nine Princes. ”
Yu Xuanxun felt that Wei Ning's investigation ability was very great, but he couldn't find the person he was looking for, which was really a joke.
"Who is Auntie looking for? Did you give birth to a daughter or a son? ”
"I gave birth to a daughter named Nian'er, and her father's name is Lin Zhenhai, who is a businessman."
Because of Wei Ning's conversation, Yu Xuanxun regained the original purpose of coming to Beijing, so he temporarily put aside his love for the emperor and took the initiative to report to see the ninth prince.
After all, this matter must be helped by the Nine Princes.
Yu Xuanxun briefly explained to Shi Ruomei the reason for 'getting up early', until night fell on the pretext of seeing Aunt Wei Ning, and with the help of Wei Ning, he went out of Chuxiu Palace to the Star Appreciation Pavilion to meet the Nine Princes.
Cautiously, he went all the way to his destination, and the Nine Princes were already waiting there. Hearing the movement, the person he was waiting for had arrived, and said, "You have finally come to this king." ”
Yu Xuanxun took off his cloak and black hat, freed himself from red tape, and said directly, "I came this time in the hope that the prince could help find someone." ”
"Looking for someone?" The Nine Princes looked at Yu Xuanxun with some puzzlement.
Yu Xuanxun first asked without answering, "I don't know what the Ninth Prince thinks of Aunt Wei Ning of Chuxiu Palace?" ”
Seeing that Yu Xuanxun must have had some intentions in asking like this, the Nine Princes thought about it for a while, "Although Wei Ning has been in the palace for more than 20 years, he can be regarded as a regular person on weekdays, and he hasn't caused anything particularly concerning. Why are you mentioning her today? ”
Yu Xuanxun pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice, "I think Wei Ning is not a simple person. ”
"Oh? What's not easy? "The Nine Princes seem to have guessed a little.
Yu Xuanxun's expression suddenly became serious, "She seems to know my identity, and may even know the secret of my father's death in battle, and even make a deal with me about this matter." ”
The Ninth Prince was also a little shocked by Yu Xuanxun's words, "What deal does she want to make with you?" Could it be that she asked you to find someone? ”
Yu Xuanxun nodded, "That's right, this person used to be a businessman and returned to Kyoto two years ago, but Wei Ning sent someone to look for it but didn't have the slightest news, so ......"
"That's why she wants to use your power, no, it's the power behind you to find someone." The Ninth Prince suddenly stared at Yu Xuanxun, "You promised her?" ”
"Yes." Yu Xuanxun explained, "When I heard the news at the time, I was also taken aback. But after thinking about it, although Wei Ning has no privileges, after all, the emperor loves her very much, and the queen mother also has a little thin face for her. So there should be many people who secretly curry favor with her, and they must have recruited some credible people over the years. ”
Yu Xuanxun paused and continued, "When she understands my affairs so well, it is not easy to think about the eyeliner under her hands. Therefore, I hope to take advantage of this opportunity to help her find someone on the one hand, and find some clues along the way. ”
"It seems that you have planned it a long time ago, and you have not forgotten the original purpose." After a while, "I thought that you had been too immersed in the drama of the draft recently, and you had completely forgotten your mission. ”
Yu Xuanxun only smiled bitterly, "No matter how deep the palace is, Xuanxun will not forget his original intention." ”
The atmosphere gradually quieted down, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard, and the Nine Princes looked at Yuxuanxun's spiritless face, and couldn't help but hold it in distress, and said softly, "This king can't look at you like you're still in Liuyu Palace, this is the most helpless helplessness of this king." ”
"Lord ......"
"You've lost weight. You can rest assured that no matter what happens in the future, as long as you want, this king will help. Gently hugged Yuxuanxun into his arms.
"Compared to Xuan Xun, the Nine Princes should care more about your princesses." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "Here is a detailed background about the person Aunt Wei Ning is looking for, which can be used as a reference for the prince." ”
"Shh The Ninth Prince made a silent gesture to Yu Xuanxun, "Don't speak, just let this king hold you quietly at this moment, that's fine." ”
Yu Xuanxun, who was powerless to resist, could only let the Nine Princes hug him tightly in his arms.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the emperor's selection, and those unsuccessful show girls are now facing a choice of where to go.
On this day, everyone was called up early, and Aunt Wei Ning paced with a heavy heart, looked at them and was silent for a while, and said, "I don't need to say more, you must have guessed a few points." After a pause, "I have just come from the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has decided that the Emperor has no plans to re-select for the time being, and some of you are indeed not suitable to stay in the palace, so I will select a few of you for training, and others will arrange for you to go home." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone began to discuss, and Yu Xuanxun and Shi Ruo looked at each other with indifferent expressions.
Aunt Weining took out a fold from her sleeve, coughed lightly and said, "Here is the list selected by the Queen Mother, there are four people in total, the one who reports to the name will stand next to me, and the others will follow her and prepare to go home." Wei Ning pointed to Ren Huan beside him and said.
Everyone immediately quieted down and listened, "Lin Xinxu." The first thing that came out was Lin Xinxu, and I saw her walk to Wei Ning's side and stand still with a proud face, and the next thing that came out was "Shi Ruomei, Feng Sumei." The last name is about to come out in everyone's expectation, "Jade Xuanxun".
Shi Ruomei walked over a little reluctantly, but Yu Xuanxun hesitated for a while and moved over slowly.
"Alright, you four come with me." Wei Ning put away the fold, turned around and wanted to walk outside the Chuxiu Palace. The anxious Lin Xinxu hurriedly followed, Shi Ruomei looked at Lin Xinxu's flattering back, couldn't help but snort coldly, and reminded Yu Xuanxun next to him, "Xuanxun, let's go over too." ”
Yu Xuanxun nodded in response and began to step to follow.
The four of them followed Wei Ning to a palace in silence, and the plaque reads 'Xiu Nu Yuan'.
Yu Xuanxun couldn't help but whisper these three words.
Lin Xinxu looked at Wei Ning in surprise and said, "Aunt Wei Ning, why is there a show girl in the palace?" Feng Sumei also echoed, "The slave has never heard of it. ”
Shi Ruomei walked to Yu Xuanxun's side disapprovingly, silent.
Wei Ning smiled at them and explained, "Chuxiu Palace was founded by the previous emperor, and this Xiu Women's Courtyard was established by the first emperor. The purpose is to arrange a place that is not disturbed by right and wrong for those unsuccessful show girls, but who are unwilling to go out of the palace and go home. ”
"And what are we here for?" Shi Ruomei is most concerned about this problem, shouldn't she simply arrange a place to live for them, right?
Wei Ning continued to explain, "This is also what the Queen Mother meant, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two months." The Queen Mother hopes that you will take this opportunity to enrich yourself, learn more palace rules and etiquette, and leave an impression on the emperor when you perform in front of the emperor. ”
"The Queen Mother is planning to train us here?" Lin Xinxu asked.
Wei Ning nodded, "Okay, you all come in with me first." He led them to the courtyard, "Go and pick your own room first, and I'll show you someone after you've made your choice." ”
After checking and comparing, the four of them all chose their favorite places, but Yu Xuanxun and Shi Ruomei's rooms were closer, but Lin Xinxu's was farther away, and Feng Sumei chose one among them.
The four of them were arranged in the designated room, and after a while, Aunt Wei Ning respectfully led one person into the house. As soon as that person showed his face, Yuxuan Xun and the others were greatly surprised.
Under the smile of the other party, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave has seen the eleventh prince." ”
