Chapter 764: Fate
Xiao Fuyuan studied with her female master Su Yu very effectively.
Soon the master and apprentice became familiar with each other.
Su Yu attaches great importance to teaching students according to their aptitude, and because of Xiao Fuyuan's strong receptivity, Su Yu's teaching progress to Xiao Fuyuan is more advanced than others.
Princess Yun'an will also come to the Bai family's house from time to time to audit.
Ten days later, the family school was on vacation, and Zhen and Xiao Fuyuan were invited to Yuqing Palace by the Queen Mother again.
The Queen Mother's condition has improved, and she feels refreshed like never before.
Not only did the queen mother's body become stronger, but the queen's old illness did not recur.
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law think that the reason why their bodies are so good is due to the blessings brought by Xiao Fuyuan.
Zhen took Xiao Fuyuan into the palace, and met Concubine Shao and the second prince who had eaten a closed door for the Queen Mother on the palace road.
When their mother and son saw Xiao Fuyuan passing by the fish pond in the Imperial Garden, one after another koi jumped into Xiao Fuyuan's arms, and they felt a little frightened in disbelief.
You must know that few people in the pond can fish out the koi, why is it that as soon as Xiaofuyuan comes, the koi will automatically fall into the arms.
This has to make the mother and son think of the legend that is popular in Beijing - the lord of Furong is the auspicious rui of Nanguan Mountain.
Concubine Shao secretly regretted it, she knew that if this was the case, she would let the second prince get along with Xiao Fuyuan well.
This gave the eldest prince a benefit.
Xiao Fuyuan followed Zhen to Yuqing Palace, and to her surprise, not only the queen was talking with the queen mother, but Cheng Mei was also there.
Although Cheng Mei was still wearing a hat in front of the Queen Mother, Xiao Fuyuan still recognized her for the first time.
"Aunt Cheng."
After Xiao Fuyuan said goodbye to the Queen Mother and the Queen, he ran to Cheng Mei and looked up at her.
She hadn't seen Cheng Mei for nearly a year.
Cheng Mei knew that Xiao Fuyuan was coming to Yuqing Palace, and when he really saw it, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
"Did you miss me?"
Cheng Mei smiled and rubbed Xiao Fuyuan's head, she hadn't grown taller again in a year.
"Yes. I gave all the crop seeds you brought me from Nanyang to my eldest brother to cultivate." Xiao Fuyuan said to Cheng Mei with a smile.
Also surprised by Xiao Fuyuan was Zhen.
Cheng Mei was named Cheng Da by the Queen Mother, and she knew that the merchant ship was protected by the Queen Mother.
But she always thought that this was just Cheng Mei's wealth in half of Daxia, and the royal family naturally treated her favorably.
She didn't expect Cheng Mei to be in the Queen Mother's Palace, and she looked very familiar with the Queen Mother and the Queen.
「…… Ah Ran's mother is Ah Hua, Fu'er, do you remember Ming Hua, at the beginning, Ming Shu and Ming Cai were all big girls in my house." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Ah Shu, who is Mama Chang, nodded on the side.
Zhen was indescribably excited and said, "Why don't you remember."
Cheng Mei's real name is Lin Ran, and she remembers that Ming Hua was the son of Zhen's family and also surnamed Lin, but she didn't link the two together at all.
Cheng Mei held Xiao Fuyuan in his arms and said to Zhen, "I didn't expect our fate to be implicated long ago."
Zhen recovered from the shock and asked, "Where did Mingshu and Mingcai go?"
The Queen Mother said, "When he was ambushed at the border, Ah Shu and I escaped and met the first emperor who was still King Jing. Seeing that I was lost, I couldn't explain to Xiyue Kingdom, so I pretended to be Ah Hua and entered Xiyue Kingdom, and she married the lord of Xiyue Country and gave birth to Ah Ran. Ah Cai only had news last winter, Ah Cai went to Rong to become the maid of the Rong country, and was later fortunate by the lord of the country, giving birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, which is the news that General Meng Da came from the border. You know that last year, Da Zhuang went to the border to deliver grain and captured Helian Liang, the third prince of Rongguo, who is Ah Cai's son."
Cheng Mei continued, "Sister Zhen, do you know who Mingcai's daughter is?"
Zhen shook her head, but her heart was beating like a drum, she always felt that she should be by her side.
"It's Qiu Niang who was taken in by your family."
Zhen was shocked again.
Sure enough, as Cheng Mei said, the fate of these people has long been secretly involved.
Xiao Fuyuan sat in Cheng Mei's arms, listening to their conversation, as if he understood or not.
"My mother and Qiu Niang's mother Mingcai are not favored in either the Xiyue Kingdom or the Rong Kingdom, and the Qiu Niang brothers and sisters, like me, have been discriminated against and scolded because of their Southern blood. Later, I took my mother's handwritten letter before her death and ran to the border Ningcheng with the caravan of the Shen family on the border and defected to the Queen Mother. The Qiu Niang brothers and sisters were not so lucky, as soon as Qiu Niang arrived in Ningcheng, she and Helian Liang got lost, and then were sold to Huaicheng by human traffickers."
Cheng Mei said quietly.
Zhen remembered that Cheng Mei went to her own weaving workshop to chat with Qiu Niang for a long time in Shenshu Village last winter, and she thought that she had some textile work to hand over to Qiu Niang.
I'm afraid that at that time, they already know their respective backgrounds.
"How did you recognize Qiu Niang?"
Xiao Fuyuan understood their conversation and asked with wide eyes.
"I met Helian Liang at the border when I was a child, and he went under the pseudonym Jin Cheng. Later, I followed the Shen family to Huaicheng, and Helian Liang asked me to help him find his sister, who had a small sunflower in her arm." Cheng Mei didn't think that Xiao Fuyuan was a child, so he hid it from her, but explained it seriously.
Xiao Fuyuan understood.
"Sister Qiu does have a small sunflower on her arm." Xiao Fuyuan recalled carefully.
"I really didn't expect that Qiu Niang was Mingcai's daughter." Zhen looked emotional.
"Auntie, why don't you take Qiu Niang into Beijing to meet you, and Mama Chang, I must want to see her too." Zhen said to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "This also depends on her meaning, her brother Helian Liang is about to be escorted to Beijing. After all, they are brother and sister, and her brother is now a captive, in case she has hatred for us."
The Queen Mother said this euphemistically.
Zhen was frightened, in the righteousness of the family and country, Qiu Niang was the opposite of the Xia country at this time.
Although she sympathized with Qiu Niang for suffering so much, and believed that Qiu Niang only wanted to live a peaceful life now, the Queen Mother, as a ***, must first consider her family and country, not her personal feelings.
Maybe Qiu Niang at this time has already been monitored by the people sent by the Queen Mother.
Zhen was speechless for a moment.
"Grandma, Qiu Niang is a good person, I promise."
Xiao Fuyuan played his role in a timely manner and said to the Queen Mother seriously.
She hopes to eliminate the Queen Mother's vigilance and prejudice against Qiu Niang.
"Grandma trusts Yuanbao's judgment." The Queen Mother nodded, but from the Queen Mother's eyes, Xiao Fuyuan knew that her suspicions were not exhausted.
Zhen looked at Cheng Mei and then at Xiao Fuyuan.
Cheng Mei, that is, Lin Ran is the princess of Xiyue Kingdom, so Xiao Fuyuan has the blood of Xiyue Kingdom flowing in his body.
If Xiyue Kingdom knew that Xiao Fuyuan was the Chosen Girl, I don't know if she would get her away from Zhenguo.
She wanted to ask Cheng Mei, but she was afraid that Xiao Fuyuan would know the truth.
At this time, Ah Zhen's voice sounded outside, Xiao Fuyuan
